Bankruptcy beckons for Japan’s struggling flag carrier
EVEN by its own turbulent standards, Japan Airlines (along with its long-suffering shareholders) has had a pretty wild ride in the past week and a bit. Having teetered on the brink of bankruptcy one moment, JAL seemed to have secured an improbable lifeline the next, only for its hopes to be dashed once again.
On December 30th JAL’s shares plunged by 24% to their lowest point since the firm was fully privatised in 1987. News had spread that the hawks in Japan’s new Democratic Party government, led by the new finance minister, Naoto Kan, had finally convinced colleagues that after three bail-outs since 2001 only “court-backed rehabilitation” would force JAL into the kind of radical restructuring the airline’s plight demanded. But over the holiday weekend, the divided government appeared to blink: the state-owned Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) doubled its credit line to JAL to YEN200 billion ($2.2 billion) …

Pigs on the Wing: A Pink Floyd Tribute
Featuring & Conceived By: David Murphy (STS9) & Matt Weiss (Collective Efforts)
Pigs on the Wing is a Pink Floyd tribute that was created by childhood friends David Murphy (STS9) and Matt Weiss (Collective Efforts). A project that started earlier in the year with shows in Atlanta and Athens is something the two have been working on making happen for years and finally were able to put together this all star eight-piece band featuring Coley Dennis (Maserati), Mike Albanese (Cinemechanica), Timi Connely (Kite to the Moon), Stanley Walker (Velveteen Pink), Alfredo Lapuz (Immuzikation) and Count Kellam.
The show consists of two sets, one being the album Animals from start to finish, and the other, mainly all B-side and Floyd anthems including “One of these Days,” “Shine on you Crazy Diamonds” and “Comfortably Numb.” Please check this video for a sense of what to expect:
Pigs on the Wing is performing three shows in the first week of November, details below.

YouTube Marks Third Year Under the Wing of Mothership Google
October 11th, 2009 |

The traffic numbers are out of this world. But how far away is black ink? CFO Patrick Pichette, during the recent Q3 2009 Google earnings call, reported that YouTube will be very profitable in the not-too-distant future. However, it still remains to be seen as to whether YouTube will become the money-making business that people — especially Google investors — expect.
– Three years to the day on Oct. 9, 2006 Google acquired a money-losing but very relevant and useful YouTube.com. The world’s busiest video Website is serving up something like 11,000 videos per second to millions of people around the planet.
That works out to about a million page views every 90 s…

BBC Sport’s Andrew Benson at the Hungaroring: "The big interest this weekend is whether the hot temperatures in Hungary will allow Brawn, who have struggled to get optimum tyre temperature in the cool conditions of the last two races, to compete with Red Bull. Jenson Button’s car has what the team believe will be a fairly major upgrade, with a new diffuser, rear wing and bodywork. Among other teams with new bits, Heikki Kovalainen has the new diffuser and front wing that made such a difference to Lewis Hamilton’s car last time out, and Kimi Raikkonen has the new front wing that only Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa had in Germany. And Toro Rosso have the new parts that have put Red Bull in a league of their own since Silverstone – a new diffuser, front wing, nose and top bodywork."0847: So it’s a big F1 welcome toJaime Alguersuarithis weekend, the 19-year-old with an obscene amount of vowels in his name. He steps into Sebastien Bourdais’s seat at Toro Rosso. I say welcome, but there are already murmurings of discontent from the other drivers. The Spaniard has done two straight-line tests in an F1 car – meaning not only will today be the first time he drives an F1 circuit, it will be the first time he goes round a corner in an F1 car. Lewis Hamilton says he "wouldn’t have been ready" while Jenson Button added: "At his age it could absolutely destroy his career. It could end his dream of being competitive in Formula 1."BBC Sport’s Sarah Holt on Twitter:"Just arriving at the track courtesy of an access road for big wigs and media. It’s called Bernie Avenue."
0839: The all-important weather update from the Hungaroring is that it’s warm, about 33C, but will be getting cooler through the weekend. When I say cooler, I mean 26C on Sunday, which sounds positively roasting to me. No sign of any rain.0830: Good morning. Such is my obsession with F1 these days that last night I dreamt BBC Sport’s Sarah Holt gave me an Adrian Sutil cake. It’s got me thinking: there’s a gap in the cake market there, isn’t there

WE GO UNPLUGGED AS OUR THOUGHTS WING NORTHWARD
 |
This morning we find ourselves thinking of back porches and non-amplified stages, acoustic music on the brain as this year’s Northwest String Summit gets underway. Our faithful scribe Sarah Hagerman is on the scene to note the nitty ‘n’ the gritty for JamBase but we wanted to wing a 6-pack of twang speckled goodness to her, the rest of the Summit-ers and really anyone who likes a bit o’ quirk with their pickin’.
This week’s Playlist begins with the great U.K. outfit The Broken Family Band and an early love ditty from their catalog. Then, it’s enduring folkie David Wilcox to tell us about hanging loose even when things splatter everywhere. That’s followed by some hot, sweet licks from the latest Dan Hicks release, a gospel scorcher from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band from the second Will The Circle Be Unbroken collection and a genuine classic team up of Steve Earle and The Pogues. Lastly, it’s newfangled space cowboy Devendra Banhart‘s salute to poultry.
And check out last week’s Playlist with Pavement, Regina Spektor, BLK JKS and more! |
