Sad story in the news about a crash in Offaly yesterday. But there was this:
"Last year, 186 people died on the roads, the lowest total in 50 years. The number of road deaths in 2012 has remained at broadly the same level as in 2011."
Ten fifteen years ago the numbers used to be around the 350-400 range. Less drink-driving, better roads, less speeding... whatever it is, the improvement is fantastic.
In comparison, there were over 32,000 traffic deaths in 2010 in the US, similar to the Irish rate fifteen years ago.

Brutus:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

Can someone tell me why this happens?
Left hand side is a gif export, rhs is pdf. Same file, different colours. I've checked and for both OCAD exports the cmyk colours.
I'd rather take a pdf to the printers, but gif has the correct colours. I'm on a mac/parallels/OCAD9 combo.

More elliptical. Plus a bit of stretching/strength at the end.
I don't often get to watch CNN. Do they always preface vacuous reporting with, "We have some important new information"?
