Very cleverly written. Sometimes the script would pass by so quickly that it would take some thought as to what happened! Liked the enthusiasm of the actors, who obviously are extremely talented to have memorized the script and presented it with such precision. This is a play which seeing it again would help the viewer catch up with the fast pace. Overall it was a great experience.

Some funny spots but mainly stupid jokes. Attempts to make some type of uplifting statement about the human spirit but falls way short. The cast is really pretty good but they can't save this poorly written farce. If you like things like Ted this...continued

It was an ok show, the acting was fine, that wasn't an issue at all, but I just felt like it was longer than needed to tell the story and wasn't quite as funny as I'd hoped.

Quotes & Highlights
"The play's shockingly optimistic tone is downright subversive when you consider its subject: what it means to be a success in America. How are the new legends made? Slightly unsound of mind and decidedly stout of heart." —_Louisville Courier-Journal _
"There's exuberance and bounce in Nachtrieb's voice, and Bob evinces a loving, Ira Glass-y eye for off-kilter Americana." —Rob Kendt, _American Theatre Magazine _
Directed by Sean Daniels
It is said that Bob was born on Valentine's Day in the bathroom of a White Castle Restaurant in Kentucky. It is said that Bob's birth mother Helen had a particular loneliness on this holiday that only a certain greasy cuisine could soothe. Armed with nothing but unfailing optimism, Bob is the epic, fast-paced comedy of one man's dream to be great. The greatness of Bob.

Blood Ground: Colonialism, Missions, and the Contest for Christianity in the Cape Colony and Britain, 1799-1853
Porter, Andrew, International Bulletin of Missionary Research
Blood Ground: Colonialism, Missions, and the Contest for Christianity in the Cape Colony and Britain, 1799-1853. By Elizabeth Elbourne. Montreal and Kingston: McGill-Queen's Univ. Press, 2002. Pp. xi, 499. Can$75 / US$75 / £57.
Recently several new approaches to the history of Britain and its empire have begun to bear fruit. In coming to understand the limitations of both "national" perspectives and those confined to the history of particular colonial localities, scholars have increasingly tried to take account of the transnational, international, or global circumstances shaping the imperial experience. In reaction against the dominant secular paradigms of that empire's historiography, attention has been given to the importance of religion for empire, particularly in the forms of overseas missionary enterprise and the Christian encounter with non-Christians. Finally, the manner in which colonial possessions and the processes of empire-building have shaped not only a distant colonial periphery but metropolitan Britain itself has become the focus of investigation.
Taking advantage of the rich literature on early nineteenth-century South Africa, and drawing on her own extensive research, Elizabeth Elbourne has combined these three perspectives in a wonderful study that will long remain an inescapable reference point for all students of the changing relations between Christianity and empire. A short review cannot do justice to its exceptional combination of scholarship, insight, and readability. Focusing on the Cape's Khoi people, the London Missionary Society, and its Kat River Settlement, Elbourne offers a narrative account of a tragic half-century encounter demonstrating "the incompatibility of settler colonialism and the hopes of a Christianized Khoekhoe elite for economic and political parity with whites" (p. …

AP reports: Mike Williams (holding Bills jersey), an offensive tackle from Texas, is joined on stage by family after being selected as the fourth pick overall in the first round by the Buffalo Bills of the 2002 NFL Draft in New York Saturday, April 20, 2002. The family members are unidentified.
Bledsoe talks heat up [11:45 AM]
TBD reports: ESPN's Chris Mortenson reports that a deal to trade for Drew Bledsoe is more likely to happen today than not. The Bills have offered higher round selections, which now almost certainly includes a 1st rounder in 2003, and additional draft picks. The Patriots appear willing to acept the fact that none of these draft choices will be in this year's draft.
Hold please ..... [11:34 AM]
AP reports: Mike Williams took a while to get to the podium after NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced the Buffalo Bills selected him with the fourth overall pick. Williams was on the phone. The 6-foot-5, 375-pound OT from Texas answered a call on his cell phone from Bills president and GM Tom Donahoe just before his name rang out. "I got called and all of the sudden I was like, "Oh man, what are they going to tell me?'" Williams said. "Tom Donahoe got on there and that's why I was a little late." Williams couldn't even remember what Donahoe said. "It was just ... I know it was a happy moment," Williams said with a big grin. "I think he said congratulations to me, the best I can remember."'

Two major roadblocks [9:13 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Williams, the most talented lineman the Bills have acquired since they drafted Bruce Smith, represented the best player available. That was the theme of the day for the Bills.'
Mammoth Williams brings nastiness to Bills' line [9:12 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"When I get on the field, I like to punish people," said Williams, a former all-state defensive tackle at The Colony (Tex.) High School. "It feels great. You just grab him and you got him. You look in his eyes and he's like, "Oh please, let me go. I'll never do it again.' And I say, "Oh no, no. You're going down.'"'
Bledsoe trade talks hit snag [9:11 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills conceivably could sweeten the offer of picks next year. But sources on both sides had maintained the best chance for a deal was before this year's draft.'
Patience pays off for second-round pick Reed [9:10 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'His forte is turning short catches into long gains. Nearly half of his total yards this season came after the catch.'
Bills' picture looks brighter already [9:09 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Yes, the Bills got better, but so have the teams they must hurdle in 2002.'
Donahoe's 'stud' poker tactics land nation's best run blocker [9:08 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills have drafted the best run blocker in America. Tailback Travis Henry has to be the happiest guy in town - along with Brown, who has a star quality tackle to play alongside, and with a personality to rival his own.'

Business People [9:07 AM]

A Texas-sized tackle [5:13 AM]

Donahoe makes safe, smart pick at No. 4 [5:12 AM]
D and C reports: 'Finally, a first-round pick by the Bills that legitimately addresses a line that's been in decay for a decade. A pick to make amends for Corey Louchiey, Jamie Nails and Robert Hicks.'
Bills, Patriots put Bledsoe deal on hold [5:11 AM]
D and C reports: 'The Bledsoe trade rumor story that had Bills fans stoked in the days leading up to Saturday's NFL draft did not come true. A deal could not be consummated.'
Up Close: Mike Williams [5:10 AM]
D and C reports: '[Mike Williams] needs to get his weight to the 340-pound area in order to maintain stamina.'
Bills draft capsules [5:09 AM]
D and C reports: '[Mike Williams] Was considered the most polished blocker in the draft, a dominant performer who was not only extremely talented and athletic, but he played with a notable nasty streak.'
Bills take a pass on Bledsoe trade [5:08 AM]
Boston Globe reports: '''One thing I will say is that we weren't going to give up a pick in this year's draft,'' he said. ''We never had the opportunity to speak to Drew or his agent. We are not going to be put in that type of position.'''
Pats won't fill Bills [5:07 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'The Pats want a first-round pick as part of the compensation package for Bledsoe. The Pats are apparently willing to accept a conditional pick, but it has to be fair. The Patriots believe the Bills' offer on Friday - a 2003 second-rounder that can become a first-rounder if Bledsoe plays in 12 games and the Bills make the playoffs - isn't close.'
QB picture status quo in AFC East [5:06 AM]

As sun comes up, Bledsoe still a Pat [5:05 AM]

Bills tab Texas-sized OT [5:03 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Of Williams, Bills' president/general manager Tom Donahoe enthused, "He's a large, agile, tough individual who adds chemistry to our football team." Indeed, personality was seemingly one factor that pushed him ahead of McKinnie.'
No Beldsoe, no draft-day trade [5:02 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '"We never got a call," said an almost incredulous Buffalo president/general manager Tom Donahoe, who quickly added, "and we never made one."'
Bills add a fast, wide body [5:01 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"If you want a quality football team in Buffalo, it starts with the offensive line," Donahoe said. "It makes the whole team better. You look at teams that are quality teams year in and year out and it usually starts with the offensive line."'
Four state players taken on first day [5:01 AM]
Baton Rouge Advocate reports: '"I felt like they wouldn't have made that pick if they didn't think I could do it," Reed said. "They showed some belief in me so now I'm going to have to show some belief in myself."'

Version 1.1
Sort of a half breed between RTS and tower defense. Your objective is to protect your hat from the massive waves of Nubs while slowly making your way across the screen. Sleeping Nubs will block your path, Demo Nubs will fly over your turrets and drop down on them. And as the Nubs knock on your doorstep, the threat of the Airstrike looms...
Make your way through a hand-modeled, 2.5D landscape while finding new blueprints along the way to help you defend yourself. Four turrets, four structures, and four recruits, along with the possibility to stack your buildings to assert yourself a height advantage. Two different game modes, with four different difficulties. Try to beat the developer's record times!
In the X menu, build a Refinery to generate metal. You need metal to create Turrets to defend yourself.
Arrow Keys to move/jump,
Hold Z/X/C to build, Arrow Keys to select a building.
Feel free to leave questions or comments, or post your own strategies below.

Let's play 'What's Inappropriate?'
Anyone for a new game called "What's Inappropriate?" It could be like "Where's Waldo?" Find the reason a Christian isn't allowed to post a particular statement on a website that usually cries out for more content in the hope of gaining more eyeballs.
The Yahoo Contributor Network says it allows "writers, photographers, and videographers to share their knowledge and passion with hundreds of millions of people worldwide. … Reach for the stars. Contribute as many articles, photos, and videos as you'd like. The more you publish, the further our platform can take you."
Pastor Steve Ellison has published more than 300 articles on the Contributor Network. But in January he submitted a piece and received this note from Yahoo: "We cannot publish this content, because it contains language, references or ideas deemed inappropriate by Yahoo Contributor Network."
Ellison sent me what Yahoo in January deemed inappropriate, an article titled "Created in God's Image" (which he posted on his own site). Since then he's asked Yahoo at least three times to tell him what's inappropriate but has received no response. So I've been trying to guess the key words Yahoo flagged as inappropriate.
Could it be that "God created humans and gave them His very breath, the spark of life"? The statement doesn't show reverence for the Lord Darwin, but I don't think that would spark excommunication, not yet. Could it be that "Human life is sacred in God's sight"? Maybe that statement of speciesism implies a lack of reverence for animal rights.
No, I suspect this is the culprit: "Abortion mills slaughter babies by the millions. Our society creeps toward killing the unwanted in our society after birth. Granny-dumping and pro-euthanasia support indicates that we are moving toward eliminating older people who have become a problem to us."
The first of those sentences is a fact. Yes, "slaughter" is a harsh word but an accurate one. The next two sentences are strongly stated but reasonable summaries of trends, but Yahoo apparently deems that paragraph inappropriate.
I suspect Yahoo would allow this: "Women's health centers help women deal with unwanted pregnancies." Ellison could drop his sentence about "eliminating older people" and say, "We are moving toward compassionate support of the right to die." But tell the truth straightforwardly? That's inappropriate.

Well, the Phoenix Suns have done it.
The Suns defeated the San Antonio Spurs Sunday night 107-101 to advance to the Western Conference finals. But they didn't just beat them. They swept them into the dustbin.
Despite constant rumors that the Spurs would once again get the better of their 21st-century playoff whipping boys, Phoenix took care of San Antonio with relative ease and will face the winner of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz next week to determine the West's representative for the NBA Finals.
The Spurs had hope of snagging at least one in this series, but Steve Nash would not be outdone, making sure of the series sweep over his Texas counterparts.
Nash left the game in the third quarter after blood began to spurt out of his eye — he was on the bad end of a brutal elbow from old Tim Duncan. He went to the locker room and got six stitches above that right eye while Goran "How to train your" Dragic filled in satisfactorily for the remainder of the third period.
And the injury ended up being a blessing in disguise. Nash routinely sits out the first six minutes or so of the fourth quarter to get his standard rest. Today, however, his playing time from the third quarter was displaced, allowing him to return to lead his team for the entire final period — and lead his team he did, in a manner that was reminiscent of no other incident that Curt Schilling's bloody-sock performance in the 2004 MLB playoffs. Sure, that feat was part of an unprecedented comeback to beat the Yankees in the seven-game ALCS, but the Suns' victory over the Spurs is unpredecented in its own way.
Nash finished with 20 points in the game, 10 of which came in the fourth quarter on a combination of jumpers, layups, one-footed runners, and a free throw. Five of his nine assists for the game also came in the game's final 12 minutes.
But it was the timing of Nash's buckets that was so memorable. Every time the Spurs began to threaten, Nash came back with a difficult shot or a crafty assist to counter for the Spurs. Considering how important Nash's vision is to his game only amplifies the significance of his one-eyed play.
Finally, Nash can take solace in defeating the Spurs in a postseason series. He has the most career playoff games under his belt in NBA history without an NBA Finals appearance, and who knows how long ago that streak would have been snapped if not for Duncan and the rest of the Spurs. Nash has that monkey off his back now.
That said, the road ahead does not get any easier. The Suns are likely to face the Lakers in the next round, unless by some miracle the Jazz can come back and win four straight in spite of a drastic matchup disadvantage.
For Phoenix to advance from that round will take inspired performances for the Suns similar to Nash's today. He's the key to breaking down the LA defense by attacking its weak point in Derek Fisher. Nash always dismantles D-Fish when he plays the Lakers, but winning will also depend on solid efforts from Amar'e Stoudemire and solid shooting to go around.
For now, Nash can take a bit of a breather. Phoenix has seven days off now before its next game, and the team is obviously bloated with excitement after its monumental accomplishment.

Effective new therapy for arthritis
Kettering researchers have teamed up with Family Orthopedic Associates to study how long a new arthritis therapy can postpone surgery.
Joint fluid therapy (JFT), a new treatment for patients diagnosed with arthritis in the knee joint, is showing great results. In a technique akin to "changing your oil," doctors inject a biological oil into the knee where damaged or disintegrating cartilage allows bone-on-bone contact resulting in arthritis pain.
"The 'bio oil' provides a layer of protection between the bones and helps ease joint pain for most patients," said Dr. Patrick Atkinson, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University. This enables patients and their doctors to delay the need for surgery.
Physicians at Family Orthopedic Associates, in Flint Township, are working with faculty at Kettering University on a study to analyze data on how long JFT allows patients to live comfortably before requiring surgery. The study retrospectively compares JFT patient histories to those of non-JFT surgery patients to analyze time between diagnosis and surgery.
"We're looking for a statistical sample that is meaningful," said Atkinson, "we need to answer the question 'as a treatment option, how do we analyze this effectively?' so it stands up to scientific muster." Atkinson is working with Dr. Norman Walter, M.D., chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McLaren Regional Medical Center and a physician at Family Orthopedic Associates.
Other treatments for arthritis include anti-inflammatory drugs that can cause stomach upset, steroid or cortisone injections that can further damage cartilage or joint replacement surgery. "Every time you do joint replacement surgery it involves reshaping the bone," Atkinson said, "and this is stressful on the body. A joint replacement is going to last only about 15 to 20 years. The ideal is that you only do it once, so you want to delay surgery as long as long as possible."
The answer is JFT, which appears not to have the same negative affects as steroids or cortisone. JFT separates bones like cartilage. Cartilage is the cushiony tissue that allows pain free motion in joints. Because it doesn't have nerves, it creates an unfeeling barrier between bones, which do have nerves. When cartilage begins to break down, the result is painful bone-on-bone contact.
The joint fluid therapy itself is a series of three or five injections once per week over three to five weeks. "Typically the patient will elect to have a series of injections once a year," said Atkinson. "Right now the therapy is so new that there are no statistics on how many years patients can delay surgery.
"Some JFT patients have gone on to have joint replacement surgery," he said, "but any day you can delay it is a benefit. It's really a question of quality of life, if you can't walk it has serious consequences on your overall health."
Being able to ambulate is of primary concern for physicians working with patients dealing with obesity or trying to get diabetes under control to improve circulation and facilitate weight control. Genesee County in particular has a higher incidence of arthritis in leg joints, according to Atkinson. "This area had a lot of manual labor and a lot of physical stresses related to work," he said.
"In addition, people in this area tend to have a higher body weight compared to the national average, and higher body weight is the number one predisposing factor to arthritis," said Atkinson, "with a distant second being trauma to the joint. There is also apparently a familial connection, so family history may also play a role."
In the long term, moderate exercise is the best preventative, said Atkinson. "People just need to mobilize their joints. If body tissue just sits it develops disuse atrophy. It's a vicious cycle," he said, "if your leg hurts you don't want to use it, the longer you don't use it the more it will hurt when you do." The old adage "use it or lose it" is true.
"The chance of a healthier life is better if you use your body physically in some way," Atkinson said. "Anything that burns calories, moves joints or engages muscles will work."
In addition to analyzing the efficacy of JFT, Dr. Walter is conducting a study to obtain FDA approval to use JFT on hip joints. Currently JFT is only available for insurance reimbursement for knees. If Walter's study is successful, JFT therapy may be extended to patients for relief of arthritis in the hip joint.
While beneficial to many, JFT is not the magic bullet for everyone. "Not everyone is going to get the same degree of relief," Atkinson said, "but the majority of people get a benefit from this treatment."

Hi there, first post here.
A colleague found that if you enter Prefrences and edit your Profile (Main Account) you can cahnge the "From" data to any other existing account (name, email address) and later send a message impersonating this account without knowing its password.
Of course, if you analize afterwards the full header, you'll find the trace of the real account, buy for security purposes I consider this should be avoided.
Does anybody knows how to deal with this problem?

New Added Sugar Recommendations are Finally Created
By Emily Fonnesbeck RD, CD, nutritionist for the Biggest Loser Resort.
The American Heart Association has released new recommendations for added sugar consumption. This is actually the first time a recommendation has been given, and just in time. Sugar intake in this country is at an all time high and the over consumption is being linked with increased risk for obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol and/or high LDL cholesterol).
This is interesting since in the past, fat has been the macronutrient that has been villainized. But looking at the data over the past few decades, intakes of protein and fat have either stayed the same or gone down. So all these extra calories are coming from carbohydrates; not whole grains unfortunately, but refined sugary foods.
The average American consumes about 300-350 extra calories per day in added sugars. This is equivalent to 79 grams or 22 tsp of sugar (1 tsp is equivalent to 4 grams of sugar). The new recommendations are 100 calories, 24 grams or 6 tsp for women and 150 calories, 36 grams or 9 tsp for men. To give you some perspective, one 12-oz can of soda has 33 grams of sugar.

Nvidia sees profits fall despite steady revenue growth
Needs Tegra 4 devices to appear soon
CHIP DESIGNER Nvidia saw its full year fiscal 2013 revenues rise to $4.2bn but suffered a decline in profits thanks to the rising cost of doing business.
Nvidia, which recently said it is sampling its Tegra 4 system on chip (SoC), had some impressive wins during its 2013 fiscal year, including Google's choice of its Tegra 3 in the Nexus 7 tablet. While that helped the firm post a 7.1 percent increase in revenues to $4.2bn, its profits fell by 3.2 percent to $562.5m.
Nvidia's Tegra 3 also ended up in a number of Windows RT tablets, though given the muted reception Microsoft's own Surface RT received it is unlikely to have helped the firm as much as its Android device design wins. The company also touted its Tesla K20 accelerator, which it launched in the fourth quarter of 2012, though it had already sold Tesla K 20 boards to a number of high profile high performance computing customers previously to make it into the prestigious Top 500 list that was published in November.
Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of Nvidia said, "This year we did the best work in our company's history. We achieved record revenues, margins and cash, despite significant market headwinds.
"We grew our GPU and Tegra Processor businesses. We are sampling production silicon of the Tegra 4 platform which includes our 4G LTE modem. And we created new pillars for long term growth with Project Shield and Nvidia Grid - first-of-their-kind devices that will extend our leadership in visual computing into mobile and the cloud."
With Nvidia rolling out its Kepler architecture throughout its product range in 2012, this year will mostly be about getting its Tegra 4 chip into high profile devices. While the firm has had some success with Tegra 3, the chip is now showing its age and Nvidia will need to show improved graphics performance in Tegra 4 if it is to continue making sales in the competitive SoC market. µ

News: Afghan engineers continue to build in eastern Afghanistan
Story by 2nd Lt. Reanna Johnson
LOGAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan – The Afghan Army's Engineer Coy of the 4th Kandak, 4th Brigade, 203rd Corps, finished construction of Combat Outpost Altamuur, June 8, to provide force protection to fellow Afghan National Security Forces within the Logar province. The completion of COP Altamuur is the second independent construction mission successfully executed by this engineer coy within the last 30 days.
"The engineer coy leadership took the initiative and developed a plan of construction. They gathered all necessary materials, and moved their equipment to the job site," said Staff Sgt. Michael Peterson, from Janesville, Minn., noncommissioned officer in charge of the 850th Engineer Company Mobilized Training Team, when reflecting on the ANA engineers' execution of the mission.
Throughout the construction, the engineer coy provided constant site security to ensure the project would be completed without interruptions.
"The work went quickly, as they filled over 900 lineal feet of Hescos in five days for the perimeter of the COP," stated Peterson. "This engineer coy is leading the way in the fight against enemies of Afghanistan by swiftly constructing fortifications for the sustainability of ANSF."
The engineer coy is scheduled for more construction efforts this coming month.

The Land That Brought You Raw Fish Is Saying No to Seafood
Japanese Try to Stem Falling Consumption With Songs, Classes; Bones Are a Problem
TOKYO—The Japanese fishing industry landed a big win last week when it persuaded other maritime nations to nix a trading ban on Atlantic bluefin tuna. The fish is so prized in Japan that it's dubbed "true" tuna.
But at home, the defenders of Japan's proud fish-eating culture are facing a more serious threat: kids like Yuta Itsuno, a 14-year-old middle schooler.
"I love fishing, but I hate eating fish," he said, as he hung out with friends in Tokyo's fashionable Harajuku neighborhood. "They smell fishy, and I don't like their bones."
Put aside all those stories of global battles spurred by Japan's reputation as a voracious seafood-eating nation. Here in Japan, the trend that's causing buzz is quite the opposite: Fish consumption has been steadily declining. Per capita fish-eating fell below that of meat for the first time in 2006. The average monthly household spending on seafood has dropped 23% since 2000, to $74 last year.
So Japanese bureaucrats are resorting to unusual means to keep their nation's fish gobbling from shrinking further.
Rock singers dressed as fishermen sing paeans to ocean creatures through supermarket sound systems. Fish-promotion associations take schoolkids to beaches and fish markets and issue "Fish Meister" certificates to grown-ups. Others are trying to take the inconvenience out of eating, offering up filleted fish—and prompting hand-wringing by traditionalists concerned about the decline of Japanese gastronomy.
The decline in fish consumption reflects changes in lifestyle and demographics. Many children would rather eat spaghetti than squid sashimi or stewed sole. And that isn't an unwelcome change for working parents who appreciate the convenience. The growing ranks of elderly people fearful about choking on sharp bones causes some of them to avoid grilled fish. A sluggish economy has also hurt since fish is often more expensive than meat is.
In the latest issue of its annual Fisheries White Paper, the government warned about the negative implications of children's dislike of fish, pointing out that DHA and EPA, substances found in fatty fish, are essential to brain development. Without having to delicately remove bones, children are not learning chopstick dexterity, the agency said.
One trade group has turned to a rock band called Gyoko, or Fishing Port. "Our mission is to bring back fish to the Japanese table," Tsurizao Morita, the vocalist and "captain" of the band says regularly.
In concerts, Mr. Morita, a former tuna fisherman, walks onto the stage wearing a real tuna head. He then slices it into edible pieces, while swinging a gleaming fisherman's knife.
Gyoko's first single, titled "Maguro," which means tuna, was followed by another called "Katsuo," or "Bonito."
Gyoko became the nation's first rock band to hold a press conference at the Fisheries Agency when it released a song called "Fish Heaven" in 2008. That's a tune now heard in supermarkets all over Japan: "Fish. Fish. Fish. You get smart when you eat fish. Smart Smart Smart. Fish Fish Fish. You get healthy when you eat fish. Healthy. Healthy. Healthy."
Hiroshi Kanatani, a fish monger in Wakayama in western Japan, believes the only way to recapture customers is to eliminate all "the inconveniences associated with fish," meaning the work of cleaning and boning them.
Having had success with selling fish fillets to hospitals and schools, Mr. Kanatani now offers gourmet-quality versions through an online supermarket, relying heavily on Chinese workers wielding tweezers to get rid of pesky bones.
"Cooking and eating fish has to be as easy as heating up ham and sausage," says the 50-year-old Mr. Kanatani.
Others say the problem isn't that it is hard to eat fish, but that people don't know what fish to eat and how. Instead of eating inexpensive and plentiful local fish in season, many Japanese go for trendy, expensive fish like tuna and salmon that have caused international outcries about overfishing.
Yoshikatsu Ikuta, a fish wholesaler at Tokyo's world-famous Tsukiji fish market, recently opened a retail outpost near the main market area. His goal: showcasing the best seafood of the season.
One cold, rainy afternoon recently, Mr. Ikuta, speaking rapidly, was found trying to persuade a customer to try striped marlin, a fish at the peak of its season. "Everyone is always asking for tuna, but I tell them that when it's not in season, even bluefin is so flavorless a cat would pass it by."
Fishery officials have started sending instructors to schools. One group holds classes titled "Fish Have Bones," where children are taught how to eat whole grilled fish with chopsticks. The catch: Before eating, they have to learn the bone structure of the fish using an anatomy chart.
And then there's the Fish Meister school. At a class held at a small conference room in Tsukiji one recent Saturday, 15 students huddled around a counter laden with gleaming fish.
As Tomio Matsumoto, a 73-year-old fish monger, began cutting them into juicy sashimi slices for tasting, some took notes furiously while others took snapshots. One woman lowered her nose to within an inch of a slab of yellowtail to confirm the teachers' statement that fresh fish don't smell.
The students come from different backgrounds—office workers, housewives and buyers for supermarkets—but are united in one goal: spreading the knowledge of fish. "We were born in a nation with a gift of great fish," said Yusuke Ochi, a 29-year-old ad agency employee who got hooked on fish after working on seafood menus. "It's a shame not to enjoy it."

Crock Pot Mexican Lasagna
I am preparing a kickass crock pot lasagna to cook while we are at the surgery center. I thought I should pass on the recipe because it is so good. It is nice to come home to a hot meal that is not complete mush and this one holds up well.
Crock Pot Mexican Lasagna
1 pound ground beef 93% lean-turkey will work as well and as always less meat/meatless will do
1 18 ounce can of red enchilada sauce
1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 15 ounce can black beans-pinto or kidney are good too
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin-optional
1 9 ounce box Barilla No Cook Flat Lasagna Noodles
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese-more if you like it cheesy
brown the ground beef drain off the fat
reduce the heat, add the sauce, tomatoes, beans, water and spices
simmer for 10 minutes
layer in the crock pot 1/4 of the sauce, cheese, noodles-break in half to fit
end with a cheese layer
Now you may only get 3 layers in your crock pot in that case just make your layers thicker
as long as the layers are pretty evenly distributed all will be good
refrigerate over night or plug in and cook on low 8 hours or high 6 hours*****SEE UPDATED COOKING TIMES
Crock pot size is important this was developed in a 6 quart oval crock pot if you have a smaller one cut the recipe in half or if you have a tall round crock pot you may need to make more layers
If you have not given Barilla No Cook Flat Lasagna noodles a try you really should, they are SO good. Also very fast and easy to use. I think they are the reason this does not turn to absolute mush. Try them!
I left the lasagna cooking all day in the crock pot on low. It is done but could be more done. I think split cooking temperatures will work best. High for 4 hours and then on low for 2-4 hours. Alternately I think low for 10 hours will work too. Some new crock pots cook at lower temperature because the manufacturers have lowered the overall temperatures to accommodate customer complaints. So again, watch your crock pot and adjust accordingly! Now I'm going to take a pain pill and pass out.

This looks fantastic. I'll give it a try - thanks for the recipe! Good luck with your surgery. :)ReplyDelete
(And thanks for stopping by my blog!)
That sounds so good! I love easy SW dishes.ReplyDelete
After a couple goods and a dozen domestic failures with my crockpot, this may be one that'll bring me back. Thanks!ReplyDelete
That sounds fantastic. Printing that one for a rainy day.ReplyDelete
Good luck day with your surgery. Hope all goes well.
Hi Laura!ReplyDelete
I am so rushed to make anything half decent most evenings...I need to be led by the hand and told what to make that is quick, easy, and affordable.
Plus, all 5 kids have to find it palatable. Tough order, eh?
I think with a few fidgets, and some time to shop and prep on a Sunday I might be able to pull my head out...
Hi all! I'll be responding to comments after my surgery but first THANKS FOR CHECKING ME OUT...I'm leaving in an hour...:(ReplyDelete
This sounds like THE perfect weeknight meal. It looks delicious!I musttry.ReplyDelete
I am so impressed with you. The work will make you feel better while you're laid up. I hope you're back on your feet soon!ReplyDelete
Ms. Jelly Belly-thanks! I feel no pain yet, it's coming though. Sits need to stick together, eh?ReplyDelete
Blond Duck how are the chihuahuas? I hope you enjoy the lasagna.
Sarah-I hope this does well for you! Crock pots have tendency to mush food to death but not this one!
Melissa-All went well with surgery, Thanks!!
Andy-seriously you crack me up and 5 kids? how are you still sane?
Donna- it is a perfect weekday meal, thanks
Joie- I love anyone who is impressed with me :) I'm doing fine and will be back to running in 2 months
I hope you all saw that I amended the cooking time. I think it just needs a good HOT start and then to cook on low the rest of the day or longer on low to just really meld it together. We continued to cook ours today for about 1 1/2 hours and it was awesome. That's perfect for a working mom who leaves at 8am and gets home by 6pm.
Love to all! Laura
This looks really good and I love things I can stick in the crockpot!! Thanks and I hope you are or will be well rested soon! :)ReplyDelete
Yum! That looks great! Stopping by from SITS! Click click!!ReplyDelete
Sounds tasty...coming by to spread some clickies back atcha. Will add you to my list to do that on a regular basis :)ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON, D.C. - There have been only 57 presidential inaugurations in the history of the United States, and while millions watched the rare event at our nation's capital on television from their homes or offices, I was there, within throwing distance of the stage.
Also watching it on television.
After a subway ride in to the National Mall, uniformed police at every corner shepherded me and thousands of others to sidewalks gated or fenced off from the street. I felt like a mouse in a very crowded maze.
Three generations of the Heath family were waiting in the security line with me to enter the red zone, a section close to the stage but off to the side.
Karla Heath-Sands, a 50-year-old TV news anchor from Albany, Ga., her social studies teacher mother and two children in tow, said the reasons were plentiful for making the 10-hour drive to witness the rare event.
"To be a part of history," she said. "To say, 'We were there.'"
Once inside the red zone and past the ticket-checking Marines in their formal blue uniforms, we soon learned our proximity to the stage was a great big tease, as extended bleachers for the press blocked our view.
Stinking media got in the way.
A huge Jumbotron, situated to the right of the stage, entertained the crowd with inauguration trivia in the run up to the ceremony, such as the first president to be sworn in by a woman (Lyndon Baines Johnson) and the coldest Inauguration Day on record (7 degrees Fahrenheit for Ronald Reagan's second, which was mercifully moved inside the Capitol).
The musical interlude began and eventually celebrities Beyonce, Jay-Z, Eva Longoria, James Taylor, Rahm Emmanuel and the Rev. Al Sharpton all made appearances on the Jumbotron as they took their seats in the VIP section.
And then the politicians came out. When U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, D-Wis., emerged from the Capitol and took his seat, he received some light boos from the audience, which then chuckled a bit at their own partisanship. In this massive crowd of hundreds of thousands, stretching from the Capitol building to the Washington Monument, Republicans were needles in a mile-long haystack.
The response was the same for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Unsurprisingly, former President Jimmy Carter, the Clintons and Massachusetts Sens. John Kerry and Elizabeth Warren got big ovations.
Our first glimpse of the president is a dim shot on the Jumbotron of the back of his head. A big cheer goes up and I hear one voice peep up somewhere behind me.
"I'd know those ears anywhere," it said.
After everyone was seated, first family included, we heard several speakers and witnessed the swearing in of the vice president and the president. Finally it was Barack Obama's turn to address the crowd. He gave a rousing speech, invoking the hot topics of gay rights, gender equality and global warming and the audience responds with energy.
Beyonce sang a powerful version of the national anthem and it was over.
During the ceremony, Courtney Ruark was sitting under a tree with her husband and 11-month-old son Ox, who was gumming a chocolate chip cookie.
The couple, who made the short trip from their home in Arlington, Va., took their baby when they knocked on doors for the Obama campaign and when they stood in-line to vote and they wanted him to be a part of the result. He may not remember attending, but "he'll know he was there," Ruark said.
I might have been watching on a big screen, achingly close to the stage, but I was too.

From 1862 to 1876, most of the nation was without silver coins in daily circulation, as these were worth more than the depreciated paper money introduced to finance the Civil War.
Despite this situation, experimentation with the designs of the silver coins continued.
Hired by the U. S. Mint as its chief engraver in 1869, succeeding the late J. B. Longacre, William Barber produced an amazing portfolio of work in just his first few years. Seen here is his interpretation of the Seated Liberty figure in use since 1837. On this copper impression, coined with a reeded edge, it is paired with the regular reverse type of 1870. Rare (R7 in Pollock), this specimen is a fully struck gem with remarkably pristine surfaces. Its obverse is a pleasing blend of olive and sea greens with rich magenta, while its reverse is a deep russet with accents of gunmetal blue.

Synopsis: Goltzius and the Pelican Company tells the story of Hendrik Goltzius, a late 16th century Dutch printer and engraver of erotic prints. A contemporary of Rembrandt and, indeed, more celebrated during his life, Goltzius seduces the Margrave of Alsace into paying for a printing press to make and publish illustrated books. In return, he promises him an extraordinary book of pictures of illustrating the Old Testament's biblical stories. Erotic tales of Lot and his daughters, David and Bathsheba, Samson and Deliah and John the Baptist and Salome. To tempt the Margrave further, Goltzius and his printing company will offer to perform dramatisations of these erotic stories for his court.
Even though he has spent the last decade ringing the death knell for cinema, Peter Greenaway continues to work in the format anyway, either as a way to go down with the ship, or perhaps to try and right the course (or maybe both). But onward he goes nonetheless, and next month he'll be unveiling...Read More »
It's been five years since "Nightwatching," the last feature length effort from Peter Greenaway. And for a guy who declared "cinema is dead" right around the same time, he certainly has a lot left to say within the art form. Screen Daily reports that not only is Greenaway emb...Read More »

Since the mass immigration some 100 years ago, Jews have become richest religious group in American society. They make up only 2% of US population, but 25% of 400 wealthiest Americans. How did it happen, and how crucial is their aid to Israel?
Tani Goldstein
Published: 10.26.11, 15:23 / Israel Business
Tani Goldstein
Lauder is definitely not the only American Jew funneling money to Israel while influencing the country. Many Israeli adults used to receive a parcel from "the rich uncle in America" during their childhood. Thousands of organizations, including hospitals and universities, receive billions of shekels in donations from the US. A Hebrew University study found that they make up about two-third of all donations in Israel.
The online Jewish Encyclopedia says some 5.6 million Jews live in the United States (not including half a million Israelis) – about 1.8% of the population. Most of them reside in rich cities: Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Boston, and mainly New York.
A study of the Pew Forum institute from 2008 found that Jews are the richest religious group in the US: Forty-six of Jews earn more than $100,000 a year, compared to 19% among all Americans. Another Gallup poll conducted this year found that 70% of American Jews enjoy "a high standard of living" compared to 60% of the population and more than any other religious group.
The United States is among the richest countries in the world, making American Jews one of the wealthiest ethnic groups in the universe. Their success story is even more phenomenal considering the speed in which they became rich.
In 1957, 75% of US Jews were white-collar workers, compared to 35% of all white people in the US; in 1970, 87% of Jewish men worked in clerical jobs, compared to 42% of all white people, and the Jews earned 72% more than the general average. The only remnant of their poverty is that most of them still support a welfare policy and the Democratic Party.
Alongside the Jews, millions of immigrants arrived in the US from Ireland, Italy, China and dozens of other countries. They too have settled down since then, but the Jews succeeded more than everyone. Why? All the experts we asked said the reason was Jewish education. Jewish American student organization Hillel found that 9 to 33% of students in leading universities in the US are Jewish.
"The cinema industry was created from scratch in the 1930s, and the Jews basically took over it. To this day there are many Jewish names in the top echelon of Hollywood and the television networks. Later on, they took high-tech by storm too – another new industry requiring learning abilities."
"The Jews were the first people to undergo globalization," says Rebecca Caspi, senior vice president of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). "They had a network of global connections way before other nations, and a strong and supportive community.
How do community institutions help people succeed in business?
"The mutual help allowed poor Jews to study. My family is an example of what happened to millions. My grandfather arrived in New York with two dollars in his pocket. He sold pencils, and then pants and then other things, and in the meantime studied English, German and Spanish and established ties.
Is that why they succeeded in the US more than in other places?
The discrimination lessened in most countries. I think Jews succeeded in America in particular because capitalism is good for the Jews. Jews have a tendency for entrepreneurship, they study more and have quick perception, know how to seize opportunities and have networking skills. A competitive environment gives Jews an advantage."
Is that the reason Israelis are not as rich as American Jews?
"I think the 'Jewish genius' – which is not a genetic issue but a cultural issue – is expressed in Israel in other areas. The Jews in America arrived in a country with existing, stable and strong infrastructure. Here they had to build the entire infrastructure from scratch, under harsh conditions."
There is no doubt that American Jews' huge success helped Jews survive in Israel.
"Israel would have been established and would have survived even without the American aid, but it would have been poorer," says Halperin. "There are areas, like higher education, in which the aid is critical – and if it suddenly disappears, things will be difficult."
Every time there are arguments between the Israeli government and Jews in America, Israeli and American public figures warn that "one day they'll have enough and stop donating." Can that happen?
"The scope of donations is decreasing in the past few years," says Halperin. "The Jews have a sense of belonging to the American society and give their donations to American organizations. They want to see their names at a New York museum rather than at Jerusalem museum.
"But it's hard for me to believe that the donations will disappear at once because of a political crisis. It looks like our government is trying to make it happen with all its might, but fortunately, it can't even do that."

New Logo Unveiled During Hockey Game
New Logo Unveiled During Hockey Game
There was more blue and white than usual at the men's hockey game Saturday night. That's when UNH's new logo was officially unveiled. The new symbol was prominently displayed on the doors and the floor of the Whittemore Center-- and on dozens of volunteers who wore T-shirts bearing the blue and white logo.
Shortly after the end of the first period, volunteers tossed some 5,000 T-shirts into the stands to the cheers of students and fans who clamored to be among the first to wear the new logo.
The design is the work of Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, the New York design firm responsible for creating the iconic logos for, among others, Mobil, PBS, and National Geographic.
Last spring, after the company introduced three design concepts, President Mark Huddleston convened a panel to consider comments from hundreds of university supporters who wanted a say in the development of a new identifying mark that will be used at UNH campuses in Durham, Concord and Manchester.
The result is a shield with the letters "NH" inside. In an email to faculty, staff, and students sent Dec. 7, Huddleston wrote, "The new blue and white logo takes the place of the old Thompson Hall clock tower design, which represented the University's work in Durham so well for 15 years. Starting tonight, the new visual identity will convey even better the boldness and clarity of our wider statewide mission, and our growing reputation as a global innovator."
The new UNH logo joins the Wildcat image that represents athletics and the university's seal, which is reserved for formal documents such as diplomas and other ceremonial communications. The new visual identity will be phased in to digital, print, and environmental branding elements over the coming months. The artwork and timeline are available online at www.unh.edu/logo.
Limited edition T-shirts with the new UNH logo will be available through the UNH Marketplace (www.unh.edu/shop) beginning Dec. 16, 2013. Proceeds from these sales will benefit Operation Hat Trick (www.operationhattrick.com) a nonprofit that generates awareness, support, and funding for the recovery of America's wounded warriors, both active service members and veterans.

Bankrate: I take it the bass sponsors don't treat you the same way?
Byron Velvick: Oh, no. We live like truck drivers. I've stayed in many less-than-beautiful hotels on the outskirts of town.
Bankrate: Bass tournaments are packing in entire arenas. What would you say is the new appeal, and why hasn't it been there all along?
Byron Velvick: It's growing. It's like NASCAR, a bunch of country boys. I'm on ESPN at 7 and 11 every Saturday morning. I'm very grateful, that they took the name of their popular show, "Sports Center," and made it part of my show. There's no "Golf Center" or "Hockey Center." Bass fishing is growing, because we have identifiable, young, marketable guys. It used to be, with the old guys, they were overweight, chewing tobacco. Today, it's great. We've got guys with tattoos up there with fish. We're like, your hillbilly country brother.
Bankrate: Are you involved with any environmental or conservation causes, considering that your vocation is affected by pollution?
Byron Velvick: Yeah, I do a lot of stuff for the environment, it's very important. I raise awareness through American Sport Fishing. My sponsors also do a lot -- Habitat for Fishing. I do a lot of recycling. A lot of the people in fishing raise money for the environment. I'm very proactive. I'm also involved in restocking programs with kids.
Bankrate: Coca-Cola is putting together a fishing team, with you as its first member. Will angling be the next NASCAR?
Byron Velvick: I think so, but CITGO and ESPN think so, too. There has been a shift for people from golf to fishing. You can take a group of friends and the next week, they can enter a tournament. With NASCAR, the sponsors are in for a multimillion dollar deal. They can get in for a lot less with a boat. Plus, we have a lot of exposure.
Bankrate: Coca-Cola has a squeaky clean image. Do you have a morals clause in your contract?
Byron Velvick: No, but they did a big background research project, like ABC. They really researched me. They didn't want a big surprise, with outstanding warrants or something. I'm with Coke just until the end of this year.
Bankrate: A lot of people say, "The best boat is your best friend's boat," but you have to have the boat. What kind of expenses do you have as an angler?
Byron Velvick: It's costly to get a boat and truck. I saved up to buy my first boat, it was 10 years old and cost $6,000. You can get in at $6,000 to $10,000. Now, getting a new boat will cost you $30,000, $40,000, $50,000. You can go up to $100,000. I'm fortunate now, I don't have to buy the boat, my sponsors do that.
Bankrate: It would seem that as a pro fisherman, some aspects of your work include being your own boss and not facing a mandatory retirement age. Are there other careers you've considered?
Byron Velvick: This is what I've wanted to do since high school. It's a really great thing, fishing; you can get good in your late 20s or 30s. You don't see a lot of guys here quitting. You can keep going strong, even in your 50s. No other sport is like that.
Bankrate: You modeled after college. Were you able to support yourself doing that?
Byron Velvick: It was more of a life experience; I thought it would be great to live in Europe. That way, I was able to live there for free. I took the money I earned for a TV commercial and bought a boat and truck. No more acting for me.
Bankrate: Do you come from a wealthy background?
Byron Velvick: No, not at all. My parents divorced when I was young. We lived off my mother's schoolteacher salary.
Bankrate: You earned over $400,000 in prize money. Do you have investments?
Byron Velvick: Well, now the money is about $500,000. I have two houses, one in Tampa. I have extra boats and a couple of condos. This was a really good year for real estate. I like to buy tangible assets that will go up. After the U.S. Open, I bought my home in Las Vegas. Now, it's worth $750,000!
Bankrate: Do you manage your money yourself or do you hire out?
Byron Velvick:
I manage my investments. I do have an accountant for taxes and a
financial person for my property. I mean, I went to college, I took
business classes. I don't want to play the stock market, but I have
an IRA.

Poker players wanting to master the art of Texas Hold'em poker will do well to implement the basics of sound poker strategy. The implementation of the basic tenets of Texas Hold'em gaming will ensure that players get to experience the game the way it should be played and enjoyed. For all intents and purposes, Texas Hold'em appears to be a rather simple game, but mastering it is another matter entirely.
Like other variants of poker gaming, Texas Hold'em is dynamic. Each game is unique and players will do well to adjust their techniques accordingly. Each new game presents players with new hole cards, different chip stacks and an entirely re-shuffled flop, turn and river. No two poker games are identical in any way shape or form. The ambience, the emotion and the psychology of each game is different – much to the satisfaction of competing players.
The aforementioned points combined serve as a reminder why Texas Hold'em Poker Strategy is difficult to perfect. Mastering the game requires patience, understanding and time. No two Hold'em situations will play out the same way, thus grasping these concepts requires that players spend time at the tables – lots of time. The good news is that enhancing the quality of one's Texas Hold'em games is entirely possible and this is how it's done.
Understanding Texas Hold'em Strategy
A player's ability to succeed at games of Texas Hold'em is dependent on his or her desire to apply the principles of sound poker play. Of the many card games in existence, few depend on strategy quite as much as Texas Hold'em poker. It works in a player's best interest to apply these gaming tips, tricks and points all the time as failure to do so will have a detrimental effect on the outcome.
Sage advice to budding poker players requires that only strong poker hands should be played. These hands should be played aggressively too. Having the courage of one's convictions in poker games will ensure that bad hands are folded and good hands are played. Knowing when to hold and when to fold is the greatest challenge of sound strategy. This tip alone is the cornerstone to sound Texas Hold'em Strategy. It would be safe to assume that if you are holding the bottom of a straight, chances are good that someone else has the high end of it. Raising in this type of situation could prove foolhardy.

A first-look at the Robert Rodriguez-scripted Predators sequel is now available, courtesy of a few behind-the-scenes photographs that were leaked on the forums of fansite AVPgalaxy.net.
The photos — which reveal Adrien Brody, Oleg Taktarov, Alice Braga, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Rodriguez on the set of the Nimrod Antal-directed movie — seem to be taken by Taktarov's phone, considering the hazy quality of the photos and the frequency of Taktarov posing with other cast members. To see a few of the photos without digging through forum posts, head here.
In related Predators news, a recent interview with Louis Ozawa Changchien, who plays the character of former yakuza agent Hanzo in the movie, revealed to Gigazine some details about the mysterious role that Laurence Fishburne will playing.
We were nagging them everyday like "Is Fishburne really coming?" but all of us were excited to find out indeed he is. There were many rumours at first, like it will be Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, or even Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I'm glad Laurence was casted in the end. It's a really interesting role, quite different from Morpheus [in The Matrix]. A bit shady, crazy, surviving on his own, kind of a ratty character. His character managed to survive 10 years on the alien's planet living in a cave.
Changchien did not reveal if Fishburne's role meant that there will be no cameo for Schwarzenegger.

The 2009 Annual Congestion Report (pdf, 1.7 mb) finds that in 2008, drivers in Washington state experienced (per capita) one hour less congestion compared to 2006. The 2009 analysis shows other positive results, but many challenges remain on the horizon.
The lessening of congestion is primarily a result of decreased travel demand during 2008. High fuel prices seen in the first half of 2008 helped reduce travel demand on the highway system as people made efforts to save money by making fewer trips or by taking alternative modes of transportation such as vanpools or public transit. Despite much lower gas prices in the second half of 2008, the decline in travel demand continued with the economic recession that began as autumn approached. Overall, individuals in Washington drove about 400 fewer miles in 2008 than in 2006.
When Washington's economy recovers, economic growth will likely result in more drivers spending more time on the road. It is not surprising that congestion is often used as an indicator of economic health: a strong economy drives growth in travel demand which results in increasing congestion. Although congestion is used as an indicator of economic growth, it also has negative economic consequences. Even with decreased congestion during 2008, Washington's drivers and businesses lost $765 million due to the losses in time and productivity while workers were stuck in congestion.
The 2009 Annual Congestion Report has WSDOT's first Congestion Dashboard, highlighting trends from key performance indicators to show the overall state of congestion in the central Puget Sound region.Once again, the annual report continues the tradition of supplying innovative, high-quality charts, tables, and maps to provide visual analysis of the trends and conditions reported on. WSDOT continues to ensure that the information in the report reaches a broad audience by removing technical jargon and language, and communicating performance in a manner that is relatable and easy to understand – the Performance Journalism method.
Travel Time Analysis WSDOT reports on several measures that rate the reliability and average duration of congestion on multiple central Puget Sound Corridors. Average peak travel times improved on 30 of the 34 highest-demand commute routes in 2008 vs. in 2006. The average travel time savings for drivers ranged from one to nine minutes.Delay and Vehicle Miles TraveledOn central Puget Sound corridors, total vehicle hours of delay relative to the posted speed of 60 mph saw an average decrease of 19% in 2008 vs. 2006. Statewide, delay decreased 21% against the (average) posted speed of 60 mph for all center-line highway miles. The estimated number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) decreased 2.1% in the central Puget Sound in 2008 vs. 2006 to 14.45 million VMT. HOV Lane PerformanceThe reliability of high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) is important to combat worsening levels of congestion. The 2009 report has greatly expanded coverage of HOV performance. The central Puget Sound HOV lanes will, on average, carry 35% of all travelers in one lane during peak demand. In eight out of ten monitored locations, they will carry more people than the general purpose lanes. However, with a greater number of users, the HOV lanes are struggling to remain reliable: eight of the 14 HOV corridors failed to maintain an average speed of 45 mph for 90% of the peak hour of demand.Now and in the future, WSDOT will continue to fight congestion with its balanced, three-part strategy, Moving Washington. Expanded case studies, Before and After resultsThe 2009 Annual Congestion Report uses expanded case studies analysis and more Before and After results to show how the balanced strategies of Moving Washington are effectively fighting congestion. An analysis of 15 mobility projects financed by the 2003 Nickel and 2005 Transportation Partnership Account gas tax packages shows that users experienced a 15% improvement in peak period travel times, despite a 14% increase in volume at the same project locations. Before and After results show the operational efficiencies such as the 'hard shoulder running' installation on I-5 in Everett have reduced peak demand travel times by 50%, and better coordinated strategies such as construction mitigation help to manage demand.

Well, I am guessing my pylab thread got killed, right? Mmh, I haven't seen that. That warning comes from a refactoring that Ville did a few months back to make the threaded code supposedly more robust. I'm sure he'll be able to provide some further info.
