A Week in Tokyo 67
Roppongi station darker than usual. The sign with the smiley light bulb lets folks know that the station is running on reduced electricity consumption. The keyword here is "Setsuden" [節電] meaning "to conserve electricity." Ever since the Kanto Tohoku Earthquake, after the reactors went on the blink, folks in the East of Japan have been making efforts to reduce electricity consumption - most shops and restaurants will display a sign to this effect.

Bay to Breakers 2011: Elite Women

Lineth Chepkurui, bib #1, was the winner of the Elite Women's Division in the 2011 San Francisco Bay to Breakers 12k foot race and costume party.
She completed the 7.46 mile race in 39 minutes 12 seconds, before many of the other "runners" had even crossed the starting line. Lineth is not new to victories in San Francisco; this is her third win.
If you look at the final results of the race, cdn.bazumedia.com/iframe/b2b2011-results.html, it looks like 2 women ran faster than Lineth. They are in a different division, but so what? Shouldn't the fastest runner be declared the winner?
Green top: Misiker Mekonnin Demisse, bib#6, 7th place
Red top, #2, Mamitu daska, 4th place
Black top #4, Jelliah Tingea, 6th place

TORONTO -- Justin Verlander threw his second career no-hitter and the second in the big leagues this week, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 9-0 victory over theToronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Verlander barely missed a perfect game. The only runner he allowed came with one out in the eighth inning when J.P. Arencibia walked on a full count, with Verlander's 12th pitch to the rookie just an inch or two outside.Kentucky Derby
