This second release from orchestral octet Hem was recorded in New York City and Slovakia—very far from the southern home of the “countrypolitan” sound that they try to channel. Judging from this bloodless collection of songs, the northward sonic transplant did not take...
...further. Emulating low-cost carrier Southwest, American is simplifying its fleet, from 14 types of planes to six by September. Picking up on an idea from TWA, which American bought in 2001, pilots suggested taxiing on one engine instead of two to save fuel. Not all the changes were bloodless. The company's 10,500 pilots agreed to the biggest layoff in airline history: 2,400 jobs, 1 in 5 pilots, saving $660 million a year...
...Russia." That same night, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Igor Ivanov, arrived to tell Abashidze it was time to go, and they soon left for Moscow. As Abashidze flew into exile, fireworks flared over the regional capital, Batumi, and celebrations erupted on the streets.

Now President Saakashvili is using those skills to try and bring Ajaria - one of three breakaway regions - back into the fold. An economically important Black Sea region, Ajaria is run by Aslan Abashidze, a tough, rich autocrat Saakashvili has called a "feudal chief." When the President turned up on Ajaria's borders, ostensibly to campaign for allies running in the March...
