Counterinsurgency Lessons From Sri Lanka
Can insurgencies be crushed by purely military means? Many counterinsurgency -theorists doubt it, arguing that guerrilla wars are won and lost primarily on the political front. It will be interesting, then, to see what conclusions they draw from the dramatic end of Sri Lanka's brutal civil war against the Tamil Tigers.Last week the Tigers admitted defeat in their two-and-a-half-decade insurgency after the death of their leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, at the hands of the military. Sri Lanka's strategy relied on a few key tactics. First, the government created heavily armed village militias to protect civilians—mostly civilians who belonged to the majority ethnic Sinhalese population. Second, whenever it cleared an area of rebels, it quickly moved in enough professional soldiers to hold the ground. Third, Colombo used highly trained commandos to snoop out guerrilla bases deep in the jungle, where they used GPS to call in airstrikes. Many of these tactics are replicable elsewhere—in...
Asia's New Superpower May Not Be Ready
Many world leaders seem ready to cede Asian supremacy to Beijing— but China may not be ready for the role.
Why Japan's Politicians Are So Bad
Sure, Aso is atrocious. But so were his predecessors. Here's why Japan's politicians are so bad.
Bernanke's Fight Against Deflation
Comparisons between the United States today and Japan in the early 1990s just keep growing. The Japanese call that period the "Lost Decade," as it was marked by anemic growth, plummeting prices and the lingering death of insolvent banks. There was, however, one product everyone wanted: a safe. If you couldn't trust banks to hold your savings intact, why not do it yourself?No one remembers this history better than Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, which is why the Fed's Dec. 16 decision to slash a key interest rate to 0.25 percent caused a flicker of fear among those in the know. That measure means that the United States' central bank is gearing up for a full-fledged pre-emptive strike against deflation, the sort of prolonged drop in prices that bedeviled the Japanese until just a few years ago and crippled the global economy back in the 1930s. Some optimists say it's too early to worry. Deflation, they insist, has to be chronic before it can be considered a serious problem; a...
Who Will Rule North Korea After Kim?
North Korea's dictator may be ailing, but don't hope for change soon.
Yen, Dollar and Franc Turn Into Safe Havens
Japanese stock markets have tanked this year. America is in the midst of its greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. And Switzerland? Wait, isn't that the country whose GDP is outweighed by a single one of its now beleaguered banks?Currency markets don't seem to be thinking quite that way. In recent weeks, investors have sent the value of the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc soaring, but the boost is all relative. Swiss banks, however troubled, are considered safer than debt-ridden European ones, which gives the franc a leg up over the euro. The yen is benefiting from both Japanese insularity from the financial crisis and the unwinding of the carry trade, an arbitrage in which investors borrow in yen to buy in other currencies. As for the dollar, it's still just the most liquid currency, which lends an aura of safety in a storm.

U.S.-Japan Ties Strained by North Korea Delisting
Most nations are applauding George W. Bush's late-term embrace of talking to U.S. enemies, with the notable exception of Japan. Even Europe, once the epicenter of Bush bashing, will grudgingly praise his latest concessions on climate change. And the Middle East can take some comfort in Bush's new willingness to send envoys to talk to Iran. But Japan, never a loud critic of 43, is infuriated at his decision to remove North Korea from the U.S. list of nations that support terrorism.So why does Tokyo oppose the deal, when North Korea has agreed to continue to dismantle its main nuclear facility in Yongbyon and let international inspectors back onto the site—an apparent step back from the brink that was greeted warmly by North Korea's other big neighbors, China and South Korea? Because Japan ties progress in denuclearization talks to its demand that Pyongyang account for some 12 Japanese citizens who were kidnapped by North Korean spies back in the 1970s. A member of Prime Minister Taro...

Kim Jong Il's History of Disappearing
Amid the frenzy of speculation on the whereabouts of Kim Jong Il—is he dead, sick, paralyzed?—it's worth remembering that the North Korean leader has a history of disappearing for weeks or months at a time. Some analysts think the vanishing act is a ploy to draw international attention to the North, as happened when Kim went missing around the time of Pyongyang's missile tests in 1998 and 2006, the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 (Kim may have thought he was next) or North Korea's first nuclear test, last October.Most intelligence analysts think Kim really is sick, apparently the victim of a mild stroke last month. Typically, 60th birthdays are a big deal in North Korea, and Kim missed the celebration of the 60th anniversary of North Korea's founding on Sept. 9. So did the Chinese, who failed to send a high-level delegation, suggesting they may have learned of Kim's illness in advance.Still, don't put it past Kim to manipulate his return to the public stage. In 2003 he disappeared for...

The Other Global Warming
Global warming tops the agenda of the July G8 summit of leading industrial nations in Hokkaido, but warming of a more beneficial sort is coming to Japan, too. Asia's two great powerhouses, China and Japan, are trying to calm their long and bitter rivalry, in ways that could transform the region.The animosity dates to Japan's imperial aggression during World War II, and has been fueled by modern politicians. Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, whose term ended in 2006, persisted in visiting a Tokyo shrine to war dead, including men the Chinese consider war criminals. This unleashed violent protests in China. Now current Prime Minister Yasuko Fukuda is sending conciliatory signals by avoiding shrine visits in favor of uplifting talk about what unites China and Japan. He's also accepted an invitation to the opening ceremonies of Beijing's Olympics and has pointedly declined to criticize Chinese human-rights violations.These efforts appear to be paying off. In late June,...

Goodbye, Shanghai
Evidence of an investor exodus from China is mounting. Some 200 Taiwanese firms have left the city of Dongguan, says a Taiwan trade group. The Federation of Hong Kong Industries predicts 6,000 to 7,000 of its factories in the Pearl River Delta will shut down this year. The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry says 5 percent of Korean firms in China are preparing to leave; an additional 25 percent are considering it. A recent Seoul headline read: FROM CHINA DREAM TO CHINA NIGHTMARE.Why? New labor rules requiring firms to hire staff long term, the rising yuan, tougher environmental laws and higher taxes are raising business costs. Half the Korean firms in China say they're in the red. Japanese investment in China has declined 44 percent since 2005, while increasing by 150 percent in Vietnam. Others are shifting to India, even North Korea, or just going home.

The New Food Capital Of The World
Toru Okuda was in trouble. He'd slaved away for years to realize his dream of opening a gourmet restaurant in Tokyo, and by 2003 he had finally pulled it off. He'd even managed to land an address for his place, dubbed Koju, in the high-rent district of Ginza—quite an achievement for a thirtysomething from provincial Shizuoka. But just a few months after opening, Okuda realized that one critical ingredient was still missing: customers. "On some days we only had two or three," he recalls. "My cooks and I had to eat all the food. I should have enjoyed it, but it was sticking in my throat." Bankruptcy threatened.But Okuda persevered, serving impeccably prepared delicacies like charcoal-grilled blowfish and fresh snow crab topped with roe. And this past November he received his reward. Paris-based Michelin, publisher of the world's most authoritative restaurant guides, announced it was awarding him and seven other Tokyo restaurateurs its highest distinction, three stars, rocketing them...

Nuclear Relations: Loveboat Diplomacy
Few things have been as dependable as animosity between the United States and North Korea—until now. This month, U.S. sailors helped a North Korean ship repel a pirate attack near Somalia, winning a courteous public "thank you" from Pyongyang. Earlier this fall, U.S. evangelist Franklin Graham chartered the first direct flight between the countries since the Korean War, bringing in a planeload of aid. Now there's talk of the New York Philharmonic visiting Pyongyang. North Korean U.N. diplomats have even been allowed to go sightseeing in Washington.The thaw shows just how determined the Bush administration is to ensure nothing derails its efforts to coax the North out of it nukes; a U.S.-led team recently began disabling the North's facilities. Never mind recent revelations linking a suspected Syrian nuclear site to Pyongyang. Washington has downplayed the tie. Seems George W. Bush, in his last days, is determined to strip the Axis of Evil of another charter member.

It reminds me of the days way back when .... I was editing Stardust and people would ask equally idiotic questions (" So, do you people make up all the gossip and stories....?" ).
This appeared in Mumbai Mirror last Saturday...
Issi bahaane kyun naa main bhi dil ka haal zara Sanwaar loon haaye sawaar loon..
(Poetry is back once again)
Whats the sudden love with Deepika?Oh Mrs. Shobhaa, I really thought you for sure could easily see through the cunning and shrewd actress and her overworking PR!
I think it's commendable of the stars to wear ganjis, flip flops and messed up hair. That's how many of us are in real life, when you don't give a damn if you are presentable or not.
The stars need to look good on screen and do what their job demands. What they choose to wear in their private lives is pretty okay. I don't think their fans feel cheated...because they have direct access to the stars through social media sites. Let glamour be reserved for screen. Remember Rajanikanth? He is seen in public minus hi wig. That hasn't lessened the aura around him!
I think wearing eye glasses seems to have become a fashion statement today. Hrithik Roshan was the first macho men who looked great with those specs in Kaho na Pyaar hai.
I love the style of your writing, keep it coming...

Camdenton starts season 1-0 for first time in four years
"That's a true Laker team," Bob Shore said after Camdenton's 17-14 win over Hillcrest on Friday night.
Coming from him, that's some pretty high praise, especially since the first half featured five turnovers between the two teams, four of them being fumbles.
Against a tough Hillcrest team, the Lakers took a 7-0 lead near the end of the first quarter with a 54-yard run from Kullen Carlock to get in the end zone, capped off with a Mason Bennett extra point. Bennett would later hit a 17-yard field goal to give the Lakers a 10-0 lead.
Camdenton then seemed to struggle on the field, both with their opponent and the heat, with Carlock heading to the locker room early due to dehydration and Camdenton's Co-QB Bo Dean suffering a concussion after leading the team downfield for the Bennett field goal.
Coach Jeff Shore's two quarterback system worked well in the game, for the first half, at least. Coach Shore said after the game that some of the mistakes were on him.
"I felt like I called a not-very-good game," Coach Shore said. "Part of that is learning your team, part of it is getting in the groove, but fortunately, our kids pulled it out of the fire."
Hillcrest was quick to answer, with QB Matt Rush dragging defenders across the goal-line for a 25-yard touchdown run, pulling the Hornets within three points.
Rush would then provide a spark to the Hornets to end the first half, picking off Tyler Cunningham's pass with just seconds left on the clock and returning it for a pick-six. After the extra point, the Hornets had their first lead of the game and headed to the locker room with a 14-10 lead over the home team.
Returning in the second half, the Lakers' quarterback duties fell squarely on Cunningham's shoulders, but the Lakers focused almost all of their efforts on offense entirely on running the ball, slowly working their way down the field and taking time off the clock. It would prove to work for the Lakers early in the fourth quarter, with Luke Burris diving in to the end zone for a touchdown and retaking the lead, 17-14.
It would prove to be the last score of the game, as the Purple Haze held their ground against Hillcrest's speedy offense, and Carlock returned the favor to Matt Rush with an interception, and Hillcrest wouldn't see the ball again as Camdenton took a knee to win the game.
"The defense played outstanding," Coach Jeff Shore said. "They only allowed one touchdown. Coach Bruck, Coach Foulk, Coach Bayless and Coach Nolting have really got that defense running well. They did an exceptional job against some really exceptional backs."
The last time the Lakers began their season with a win was four years ago.
Camdenton's next matchup will be against an improved West Plains team, who picked up their first win of the season last week over Waynesville, snapping a 31 game losing streak.
Osage can't hold on despite second half rally
The Osage Indians showed their youth in their first game of the season, with mistakes and errors costing them a game after digging themselves a 21-0 deficit against the Fulton Hornets.
"We had some breakdowns in the first half," Coach Dan Henderson said. "We would get something going, then have a miscue. We played much better in the second half, but couldn't hold on to the lead."
The Indians couldn't seem to get anything going in the first half, giving up three touchdowns and being unable to sustain a drive and get in the end zone.
But Coach Henderson was proud of the way the boys bounced back in the second half, fighting back to reclaim the lead, 22-21.
Senior running back Seth Crooks carried the team, rushing for over one hundred yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, the first of which came in the second half to put the Indians on the board.
With Fulton's next drive, the Indians' defense forced a punt, which was promptly blocked by Osage's Jake Ulmer.
The team quickly tacked on another touchdown, and after another drive from Osage, Austin Riley connected with Jed Robertson for a touchdown pass to take the lead, 22-21.
After that, the Indians were once again unable to sustain a drive, and Fulton found the end zone a final time for a touchdown which would be the deciding score, as Osage fell to Fulton in a 28-22 loss.
"Our kids showed a lot of character by coming back," Coach Henderson said. " You can't always dig a hole and come back. Hopefully, we learned some things and stay together to bounce back."
The Indians' next game is this coming Friday night at 7 p.m., where the Indians will host their first home game of the season against the Moberly Spartans.
Eldon falls to Miller Career Academy in high-scoring shootout
The Mustangs returned to action last Friday night in their season home opener against Miller Career Academy in a high scoring shootout, with Eldon falling short in a 48-42 loss.
Led by strong play from the running backs and quarterback Wyatt Greenwalt, the Mustangs proved that they are once again looking to gallop their way to a win.
Eldon jumped to a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter with touchdowns by QB Wyatt Greenwalt and running back Raymond Kwok. In the second quarter, Zach Lemen tacked on another TD, while Miller Career Academy scored once again to trail 20-14 at the half.
Things took a turn in the third quarter, as Miller Career scored twice to take a 35-20 lead over the Mustangs.
Eldon, known for being an rushing team, was forced to pass more heavily in the fourth quarter, but they had some success through the air, finishing the game with three touchdowns in the passing game.
The Mustangs rallied back in the fourth, scoring three times in the quarter, two of which came from last year's All-State Mustang, Dalton Lister, but Miller Career Academy continued to score, outdistancing the Mustangs to win 48-42.
"Dalton played like an All-State player," Coach Shannon Jolley said. "He lived up to it on both sides of the ball Friday night."
On the other side of things, the staunch defense of the Mustangs gave up 48 points in the game, so Coach Jolley will be looking to cut that number down drastically.
"You never want to give up that many points, but they were a very talented team," Coach Jolley said. "We did a lot more things well than we did poorly, so we'll work on those this week and build off of it. But judging from Friday night, this group of seniors played hard and were ready to take ownership of this season."
This week they'll be facing the Buffalo Bison, who are coming off of a 26-12 loss to Fair Grove. Look for Eldon to fight hard and return to .500 with a win at home.
Tigers' first game of the season ends in 35-32 loss
The Versailles Tigers had hoped to start the season off with a win, but their road-game against Knob Noster had them returning home with their first defeat of the season.
That doesn't mean Coach Broc Silvers and company returned with their heads hanging low.
The Tigers proved to be a tough matchup for the Panthers in what Coach Silvers called "the hottest game I've ever been in".
"We started out well," Coach Silvers said. "We sustained some drives on offense, and ran from a no-huddle, and were up by ten at halftime."
The Tigers' offense once again proved to be quite potent, while defensively, the young Tiger team had issues with big plays, allowing 150 yards on just three plays.
Offensively, the Tigers had 20 first downs, and outplayed their opponents in nearly every aspect of the game.
Johnathan Cunningham led the Tigers on offense, finishing the game with 236 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Cunningham also had a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown. Michael Allen led the team from the quarterback position, finishing with 108 yards and a touchdown before he left the game with an injury to his ankle.
Evan Lewis proved to be a tough match for the Knob Noster defense, recording two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble with seven tackles, one for a loss.
"We played pretty well. If you take away their big plays, we held their offense to about 100 yards on offense," Coach Silvers said. "I've never had more fun on Friday night than that game."
Versailles' next opponent is Fulton in their first home opener on Friday at 7 p.m.

Hood River Valley High School cross country hosted its only home meet of the season Wednesday afternoon, with teams from Ridgeview, Benson, Cleveland, Franklin, Madison, Roosevelt, The Dalles, Wilson and Lincoln in attendance.
Varsity boys results:
1st: I. Stephens, Madison, 16:07.96
Ricardo Castillo: 5th, 16:43.49
Jorge Cuevas: 22nd, 17:54.85
Justin Crosswhite: 25th, 18:04.19
Nils Engbersen: 27th, 18:11.38
Carlos Chairez: 28th, 18:11.81
Quinn Fetkenhour: 29th, 18:12.17
Torbjoern Joerstad: 39th, 18:35.84
Varsity girls results:
1st: E. Wren, Cleveland, 18:39.88
Sascha Bockius: 2nd, 19:54.98
Lauren Robinson: 9th, 21:37.56
Sophia Marble: 19th, 22:21.98
Kailee McGeer: 28th, 23:28.27
Madison Freeman, 32nd, 23:52.76
Althea Dillon: 35th, 24:35.04
Varsity boys team:
1st: Lincoln, 46 pts.
HRV: 5th, 107 pts.
Varsity girls team:
1st: Lincoln, 47 pts.
HRV: 4th, 86 pts.
Lincoln, the only 6A team at the meet, won both varsity boys and girls events while the HRV girls came in fourth overall and the boys fifth.
In stifling heat, the varsity girls ran first and the boys second in the Eagles' first full 5K race of the season. Sophomore Sascha Bockius led the HRV girls with a second-place finish behind Cleveland junior Emma Wren, while senior Ricardo Castillo put in a personal best to finish fifth in the boys field behind winner Ian Stephens of Madison.
"The kids who did well are the ones who practiced over the summer," coach Kristen Uhler said Thursday. "Ricardo has been such an awesome captain for the boys. Our other boys packed well; they just need to get the pack up a little more."
On the girls side, Uhler said they're still ironing out who the team's top seven runners will be. Grace Grim, last year's 5A state champion, is recovered from leg injury and just recently got clearance to compete. Rather than switching the lineup at the last minute, Uhler ran Grim in the JV race Wednesday, which she won in 20:52:65, more than two minutes ahead of the closest runner.
Bockius, a sophomore, ran with inspiring grit through the nearly 100-degree temperatures as she chased senior Emma Wren, who finished fourth at the 5A state championships last season.
"Sascha wanted to win the race really bad," Uhler said. "I think she didn't really understand who she was chasing. She gave it her all."
Uhler said the depth of the team this season, particularly on the girls side, means the lineup will likely change throughout the season as runners compete for the seven varsity slots.
Next up for the team is the Sept. 21 Northwest Classic hosted by Lane Community College on the same course the 5A state championships are held on Nov. 2. This year's Columbia River Conference championships take place at Pendleton's McKay Park on Oct. 26.

And here is the what happened... LOVE IT!

NEW YORK (AP) Ichiro Suzuki has spent a decade of Octobers watching the baseball playoffs, shouting at his TV like so many fans.
Celebrating an AL East championship Thursday night with his new teammates, he noticed life is different now that he's with the New York Yankees.
``Usually that would be the end of my season,'' Suzuki said Friday night before a workout at Yankee Stadium. ``What I've realized is here, for the Yankees, is that it's the starting point.''
Acquired from the Seattle Mariners in late July, Suzuki helped spur the Yankees to their 13th division title in 17 years with a special September. On Sunday, he most likely will be playing in the outfield for Game 1 of the division series against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Yankees were 9-9 against the Orioles, who finished two games back in the division.
Manager Joe Girardi has until Sunday at 10 a.m. to submit his playoff roster and on Friday night all he would guarantee - giving a thumbs up - is that CC Sabathia (15-6) will start Game 1 on the road. But it's safe to say he will give plenty of action to Suzuki, the Japanese star who will turn 39 on Oct. 22. When making the trade, the Yankees planned to rest Suzuki against left-handers.
``We had talked to him about that he might sit against some lefties for us. But he got so hot that it was almost impossible to take him out of the lineup,'' Girardi said. ``He played the last 15 days in a row, 16 games, and he was huge for us during that time. I don't anticipate us sitting him.''
The 10-time All-Star came to New York hitting a career-low .261 and with a reputation for being a malcontent in the Seattle clubhouse. He dismissed all that immediately, impressing the Yankees with his knowledge of English, sense of humor and a remarkable stretch at the plate.
He helped carry the Yankees through a thrilling September run - hitting .385 (35 for 91) with 11 RBIs for the month - and New Work won the division on the last day of the regular season.
He's fun,'' Derek Jeter said last week. ``In order to do what he has for that many years, you have to have fun.''
The Yankees had some fun Friday night, working out in an eerily quiet stadium under the lights after a day and a half off to celebrate.
``Crazy to be out here at night time,'' Sabathia said walking onto the field. ``Weird.''
After stretching, pitchers took fielding practice just as they do during spring training. The only sounds were the popping of balls in gloves, some chatter and the rumbling of the elevated 4 train beyond the right-field wall.
During batting practice, the Braves-Cardinals wild-card game played on the video board and players in the outfield turned and watched as fans in Atlanta littered the field with trash after a controversial infield fly call.
Center fielder Curtis Granderson said it was tough to tell if the call looked correct seeing it on TV, but as an outfielder on the play, his thought was ``catch the ball.''
Due to a one year scheduling change, the Yankees will start the division series on the road, even though they have the No. 1 seed throughout the AL playoffs because their league-best 95-67 record. There were two travel itineraries on each player's chair in the clubhouse. First baseman Mark Teixeira said it doesn't matter.
``We're going to have to win some games on the road to get to the promised land anyway,'' Teixeira said.
Teixeira took at-bats in a simulated game to work on his timing. He played in only one game in September because of a left calf strain, then went 2 for 16 in three games in October.
Another player who missed considerable time to injury was Andy Pettitte (5-4). Back in the big leagues after taking a year off, he broke his lower left leg when he was hit by a hard drive on June 27 and didn't return until Sept. 19. The lefty made three starts in September and gave up only three runs in 16 2-3 innings.
The winningest pitcher in postseason history said he had an idea when he would pitch but wouldn't say if he'd be in road grays or pinstripes.
``That might be a dead giveaway,'' he said.
NOTE: INF Jayson Nix ran the bases after batting practice and hit in the simulated game with Teixiera. He's been out with a strained hip and likely will be left off the first-round roster.

Alaska Airlines announces it's ending service to Cuba
SEATTLE (KOMO)-- Nearly a year to the day it began, Alaska Airlines will be ending its service to Havana, Cuba in January.
The Seattle based carrier tells KOMO News their last flight is planned for January 22, 2018. The Alaska aircraft used since the Havana route on January 5th, 2017 will soon be redeployed to serve destinations with higher demand.
"It's unfortunate," says John Kirby, Vice President of Capacity Planning and Alliances. "You never want to exit a route, but we are exiting the L.A.-to-Havana route and the last flight will be on January 22."
Kirby said they thought there would be a lot of pent up demand after a more than 50-year embargo on travel to Cuba. But it just didn't last.
RELATED | KOMO en Cuba: A glimpse of life inside Havana
"It really took off in March and sustained itself through July and the load factors got into the mid and high 80 percent, so we did a good job," he said. "But then we saw a precipitous drop off in traffic starting into the fall season. I'm sure that hurricane season didn't help as well but we really saw that the loads and the pent-up demand had exhausted itself, and we aren't seeing any gains."
Kirby also cited the change in regulation last week that "people-to-people" travel for education is now no longer available. About 80 percent of Alaska's flyers to Havana visited under that allowance. In June, The Trump administration announced a policy reversal would be coming to Cuba, stating changes made under President Obama would no longer apply.
"We really don't blame the administration," Kirby said. "We knew going in there was a very fluid environment, there is a risk."
When the airline launched its service to Cuba in January, it did so with limited data. Normally he explained that before launching any service they gather and analyze data, but there wasn't any data available for this market, since it didn't previously exist.
So what is the response now, from Cuba?
"We have people actually, literally on the ground today informing the Cuban officials," Kirby said. "We haven't gotten any feedback yet."
Last week, the White House announced a "blacklist" making dozens of Cuban hotels, shops, tour companies and other businesses off-limits to U.S. citizens due to links to Cuba's military, intelligence or security services. Still, the policy is only a partial rollback of Obama's changes. Cruise ship visits and direct commercial flights between the countries will still be permitted. Embassies in Washington and Havana stay open. Bringing home limited quantities of rum and Cuban cigars is still allowed, officials said.
"Cuba is still open for business," said Charel van Dam of the Cuba Travel Network. "It is still possible for people to travel, but I think these announcements will serve mainly as something to scare off people who want to visit."
But Kirby said this is the right decision for the company.
"This is like nothing else we've ever done before. I would characterize it as a success that we were able to start up in a place like Havana, successfully," he said.
Passengers who had booked a flight after Jan. 22 will either be offered a flight on another airline at no additional cost or be offered a full refund.
Amazon's 2nd Headquarters could spur additional airline service
Alaska Airlines is now closing its acquisition of Virgin America, so is what markets will the airline be looking to expand to?
"I can't speak of any new routes," Kirby said. But he did say there's a lot of interest in Seattle and where Amazon will anchor its second headquarters.
"I attended a conference in Barcelona last month and everybody was asking me where is Amazon going to put their next headquarters and I said I have no idea," said Kirby.
He did say that we will see a lot more growth in Seattle with cities interested in Amazon's HQ2, looking for service to Seattle.
Alaska has launched 44 routes this year and the majority are meeting or exceeding the airline's load factor forecasts, the airline said. The company anticipates it will grow about 7.2 percent this year. As the airline looks ahead to 2018, its planning for nearly 8 percent network growth by adding capacity in primarily existing markets.

White Papers and Application Notes
Microwave Inactivation of Bacteria Under Dynamic Heating Conditions in Solid MediaS. Curet[1], M. Mazen Hamoud-Agha[1]
[1]GEPEA, UMR 6144, CNRS, ONIRIS, Université de Nantes, Nantes, France
In this study, COMSOL®4.2a is used to model a microwave heating process in a TE10 rectangular waveguide. The sample consists of a small cylindrical Ca-alginate gel (D = 8 mm, H = 10 mm) inoculated with bacteria Escherichia Coli K12. The sample is placed along the microwave propagation direction into the waveguide. Maxwell's equations and heat transfer are coupled to a microbial inactivation model under dynamic heating conditions. The microwave inactivation of bacteria is compared to a conventional inactivation by conduction with the same heating ramp during 4 min 30 s. The study clearly demonstrates that the microwave heating of small cylindrical sample is not homogeneous under dynamic heating conditions resulting in lower bacteria inactivation comparing to conventional heating.

That's going to kill me, isn't it?
So I saw Dark Souls running on PC. I'm not going to go in depth describing it, because PC gamers know what it is well enough that 100,000 of us urged Namco Bandai and From Software to put their famously punishing roleplaying game on PC for us. To their credit, that's exactly what they're doing -- Dark Souls will be out on PC on August 24th, something that wouldn't have ever happened if they didn't listen to the PC gaming public. I'm excited to play after countless recommendations from my console-playing friends, but I won't lie: I came away concerned that Dark Souls may not be an entirely smooth PC experience.
Clouds and Linings
I call him Arty for short.
Don't get me wrong: in a lot of ways we're getting some very special treatment. "At this moment, I kind of feel sorry for console gamers," From Software's Lead Director Hidetaka Miyazaki said through his translator as he explained that the roughly three new areas, four new bosses, a few more NPCs, all their equipment, and a basic PvP area wouldn't likely come to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 anytime soon. Miyazaki says that his design philosophy hasn't changed a bit since the original, and the new areas of the Prepare to Die Edition will be every bit as difficult as the main game -- exactly what I wanted to hear. Not much was actually shown other than a new character, the knight Artorius, who'd been mentioned in the original game but never appeared. He's now playable, along with his ornate black armor.
On the other hand, while there will be new, PC-exclusive content, Miyazaki went on to say that this version is "mainly a port," and "in terms of visual quality, there will be no difference between the console version and the PC version." He's also strongly recommending that we play it with a gamepad and not mouse and keyboard (though both will work). From Software has little experience in the PC realm, so I'm expecting this effort to be playable, but certainly not flawless.
Also probably going to kill me.
But the big ugly elephant in the room during the demo was Games for Windows Live, which had been announced shortly before by way of a box shot bearing the logo. I sat down with Namco Bandai's Head of Marketing and VP Carlson Choi to do my best to convince him that GFWL would do his game mor harm than good.
GameSpy: I think I can speak for most PC gamers when I say that we're all very excited that Dark Souls is coming out on PC...
CC: I'm excited myself. Oh, it's cool!
GameSpy: ...and we're really hoping for the best possible experience. But Games for Windows Live is generally seen as an impediment to that. I would personally implore you to not put it in there if at all possible.
CC: Totally understand. Like you heard Miyazaki-san say, the [PC version] was made for the fans.
GameSpy: Yes, but my experience with GFWL, and the experience of many of our readers, is that it's pretty much the worst option available. It's not a matter of where Dark Souls is sold, it's a matter of the matchmaking software, the actual GFWL client, which is pretty much universally hated among PC gamers. Especially when there are options available like Steamworks, which are not universally loved, but much better accepted. Why use GFWL?
No no no no no no no no no.
CC: What you have seen at the keynote presentation is a physical retail pack art from Europe. As we've stated, we'll be looking at options for digital distribution partners. We have not confirmed at all, and at a later date there will be a lot more details.
GameSpy: To be clear, I'm not asking about distribution. If it's not on Steam, that's not ideal, but what really concerns me is the actual GFWL software.
CC: I will tell you that as an avid gamer, who has a PC rig that sits in my garage where I can hide away, let's just say from my secure home with the family. But what's important is that we're definitely hearing the PC gamers. The gamers are important to us. What we have confirmed today is the Games for Windows, and there will be a lot more news in the coming months leading up to the launch of the game.
GameSpy: So you have confirmed Games for Windows Live?
CC: Yes, for today.
GameSpy: In your keynote, you definitely called up a lot that you took notice of the petition for Dark Souls on the PC...
CC: Yes, I also saw the petition that just started now, about three hours ago, as soon as the announcement was made.
GameSpy: Yes, and that one is gaining signatures at roughly 1,000 an hour, to remove GFWL from the product. How high would that have to go to sway you?
CC: Can't really answer that question, but look: ultimately what we have done is that we've answered the question by saying that we want to bring content to the fans. Definitely technology implementation, different ways of making sure the consumer has the best experience possible, those are all things that we will look at, and are in the process of. I would say there's a lot of evaluation being done. The great thing about marketing is that you don't necessarily announce everything at once. There's a lot leading up from now to a small event called E3, to the actual release date of the game in August. There's more to come, I can assure you of that.
GameSpy: So at this point you're saying you're not committed to implementing Games for Windows Live and are open to other options?
CC: Discussion is still going on with the From Software team. The team is very much listening to the fans. It's a great opportunity -- the fans always need a voice and opinion. We're making games for them, not for ourselves, so that's something that we're going to be committed to as a company, as an ongoing focus on that. We heard everybody. As soon as we were done, someone said "Um, a petition just got started," and I was like "Yup, I knew that was going to happen," but at the same time we needed to make sure we're pacing ourselves leading up to the launch of the game.
GameSpy: Thank you for your time!
Spy Guy says: It's certainly not ideal, but even a not-so-great port of a great game with Games for Windows Live is better than no port at all. I'm glad I had the chance to play Batman: Arkham City on PC, for example, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. What's the best poor port you've ever played?

Below are some tidbits on baseball and sportscard collecting.
Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !
1956 Topps Baseball CardsI have a fondness for the 1956 Topps issue. When I first started collecting back in 1964, my friends and I would wander nearby neighborhoods in search of "old cards". Back then, the oldest cards we ever found in dealing with other kids were 1957 Topps.
Eventually I saw my first 1956 Topps card - I was hooked. It was larger, on a thicker, fluffier card stock making it look much, much older than the just 1 year younger 1957. We even thought they looked "ancient" !!!
We changed neighborhoods in 1966 leaving my childhood friends behind. Before I left, I gave away all my cards except for a small cigar box full of my favorites and I stopped collecting. I had a great 3 year run but I sure wish I would have been collecting in 1966 and 1967 with those tough high numbers. I would have loved to have had a cigar box full of them in place of my hoard of 1964 Topps Felix Mantillia and Gary Peters cards.
The regular 1956 Topps baseball card set is one of my favorites. Topps again went with a slightly larger (3-3/4" by 2 5/8") horizontal card design, similar to their 1955 Topps cards. Several of the portraits are even the same used on 1955 Topps cards and even back to 1954 Topps.
1956 Topps was the first issue to feature team cards and checklists. In addition Topps also included cards of the 2 league presidents, William Harridge and Warren Giles.
With Bowman now gone, Topps could again make cards of Mickey Mantle who was missing from Topps issues since 1953. Once you get past Mickey Mantle, this is a fun and relatively simple set to complete as there are no high numbers or extremely expensive rookie cards with Hall-of-Famer Luis Aparicio being the top rookie.
The set contains over 200 variations making things quite interesting for master set collectors.
Most variations deal with the card stock (gray and white card back variations).
There are also several cards that have color line variations on the card front. Most notably is the Ted Williams card which has either no line over his name or a thin green, red, blue, or yellow line between the white border for a total of five variations. Whitey Ford and Early Wynn also have no line or a thin red or yellow line. In addition, many team cards had 3 different variations with the team name either on the Left, Centered or Right.
The only errors in the set are a handful of uncorrected errors the most famous of which is card #31 of Hank Aaron which actually pictures Willie Mays sliding into home. Card #135 Mickey Mantle is also an interesting card. The card pictures Mantle leaping into the stands and making a fantastic catch. An awesome play to put on this great card - right ? Only problem is that on the real play, Mantle missed the ball. If you do some research you can find the exact photograph that the card was painted from. The artist did a great job and in his version, Mantle makes the catch ! And as always for vintage Topps sets, take a quick look at Don Mossi and his famous ears !
Collectors of 1956 Topps should also take a look at their side issue '1956 Topps Pins'. In addition to their 1956 Topps baseball card set, Topps released their 1956 Topps Pins set using the same portrait photos as the cards. In the end, collectors of the day preferred cards to pins and Topps cut back the 1956 Topps Pin set from a planned 90 pins to just 60.

1956 Topps baseball cards Checklist and Prices
1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

Fast starts can lead to expectations. After opening the season with wins in consecutive series over San Diego and Miami, it is way to soon to consider the Mets a General Electric type behemoth.
But, there is some juice here, enough to where there is some light.
The Mets began the season with little hope of cracking last year's 74 victories, but the first week created a sense there might be something to the summer if nothing more than another collapse in the making.But, wouldn't you rather have a duplicate of last season – a good start followed by a fall – rather than no season at all?
Following a baseball team is all about hope, and maybe the Mets will break your hearts again. While hoping for October is outlandish, hoping for an enjoyable summer, where meaningful games are played, could be possible.
It is hard in baseball to look at a schedule, circle a date and think, "that's a win.'' There are many variables in baseball that make it difficult, but looking at their upcoming 10-game road trip, it isn't hard to fathom an opportunity to make April interesting, and with it, maybe the entire summer.
The Mets open a three-game series tonight in Philadelphia behind Matt Harvey, who every time he pitches, has his teammates believing.
"It's exciting to see him pitch,'' David Wright said. "He pitches with a lot of poise. We believe we can win every time he goes out there.''
The Phillies aren't the monster they used to be, and their starter tonight, Roy Halladay, is in decline. Philadelphia, ever grateful for the Marlins, has been slow out of the gate.
As bad as they were last year, the Mets were 10-8 against the Phillies, including 7-2 in their park. Confidence can be a fragile thing, but the Mets know they can win down there.
Following Harvey will be Dillon Gee and Jeremy Hefner against Cliff Lee and Kyle Kendrick, respectively.
After Philadelphia comes Minnesota. The Twins enjoyed a strong run from 2002-2010 when they made the playoffs six times, but they've had two down seasons.
If the Mets should pattern themselves after any team over the past decade, they would do far worse than emulate the Twins, who have fielded fundamentally strong teams with good pitching while on a limited budget.
The probable for Minnesota are: Jon Niese, Aaron Laffey and Harvey.
The Mets conclude their trip with four games in Colorado, which is three years removed from the playoffs and five from the World Series.
The Mets haven't enjoyed much success against the Rockies, but their park is one where pretty much anything can happen.
As of now, Gee, Hefner, Niese and Laffey will start against the Rockies.
By no means is this an easy stretch, but coming home even or 6-4 is doable, before series against Washington, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Circle your calendar: April 19 at Citi Field, Harvey against Stephen Strasburg.
