The Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2011 was announced, but .......

  The Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2011 was announced yesterday evening, but it was not awarded to Dr.Nakayama, who had been expected to be the most likliest. The winners for this year will be awarded to three scientists, one Frenchman and two Americans.
  It was a beautiful autumn day. I walked in the morning a little off my regular route. From Kawazoe cho and returned by way of the hill side road. Hiromi Hironaka ( maiden name Hayasaka), one of my old student posted on Facebook, saying she was going to attend Michiko Mokudai's wedding next Sunday in Tomakomai. She lives in Osaka, so she couldn't attend the class reunion in August. I look forward to seeing her.
