The Honolulu Marathon was today in Hawaii. Of the 20,000 plus participants, at least 1/2 were from Japan. Most came on JTB packages but saw HIS stickers on some runners too. Hawaiian Airlines should try to get in on the action. I understand JAL puts on maybe 20 plus extra flights to bring the Japanese participants to Hawaii.

The Queen is making big, big bucks in Korea - tons of endorsements, commercials, even trying her way in singing.

It was Japan's first run in the first inning, after which they fell behind util the extra inning. There was still action going on in the field as he scored.

It's not her alma mater until she graduates. Did she attend before and graduated? Story just says she "enrolled to take classes."

Per the Okinawa Prefectural Police Headquarters report (latest available on the Okinawa Prefectural Government website), of 5,268 crimes for the 2001 year, excluding traffic offenses, SOFA status were involved in 1.3% of the cases (70). Obviously then 98.7% were committed by Okinawan/Japanese themselves (5,268 cases) on themselves.
Moderator: Readers, please note that this question does not just refer to Okinawa but to all parts of Japan where there is a U.S. military presence.

Isn't Toyota's potential costs of damage claims in the U.S. at least $5 billion? That's no small change!

Another "sure thing" medal for Japan about to bite the dust. Over achieved last time around, making them think they were good.

Good luck to the Japan ladies. Maybe they can swep and thereby double Japan's current total of 3 medals. Current: Korea - 9, China - 5, Janpan - 3.
