...Yasuteru Kamiya has no doubt though. The proprietor of the Happy End café in Toyota City's center sees Toyota's current crisis as yet another stop in the town's 30-year decline. Toyota City, he says, has never regained the bustle it enjoyed back in the 1980s, during the go-go years when Japan was the rising force of the global economy. Since the Toyota shock, Kamiya's sales are down 50%. "We're very worried that we can't continue," he says. And that all depends on Toyota...
...than at any other time since 2001. To some Afghans, that's an indication of the insurgency's growing strength; to U.S. commanders, it's a sign of the enemy's desperation. "We're not sitting in our base waiting for them to attack us," says Major General Jason Kamiya, the U.S.-led coalition's operational commander in Afghanistan. "We've exhausted their reserves, their leadership is fractured, and we hear young recruits complaining about how they're getting killed while their leaders are in their sanctuaries, riding around in air-conditioned SUVs...
...Gary Kamiya, 31, a San Francisco cabby with a master's degree in English, remains cheerfully unaffected by the trend to lighter drinking.

Indeed, for every yuppie who has traded in vodka for mineral water, there seems to be a social drinker like Kamiya clinging to the old ways--or a teenager taking up a habit...
Suddenly, all things seemed possible. Joe Kamiya, a pioneer of biofeedback training, thought "people will soon control phobias and anxieties." Psychopharmacologist Barbara Brown (New Mind, New Body) predicted a drastic drop in the use of medication and the number of hospitals within a decade. Among other heady predictions: biofeedback would eliminate the need for psychotherapy, provide a foolproof birth control method (by teaching males to lower their scrotal temperatures), produce superathletes, prove the reality of ESP and enable mankind to solve problems during sleep by "programming dreams...
...link between alpha and meditative states seems real enough. According to Psychologist Joe Kamiya of San Francisco's Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, an early pioneer in the field, Zen masters produce more alpha when they are meditating than when they are not, and they are quick to learn how to switch it on and off. Artists, musicians and athletes are also prolific alpha producers; so are many introspective and intuitive persons, and so was Albert Einstein. Alpha researchers report that subjects enjoy what Psychologist Lester Fehmi of the State University of New York at Stony Brook calls the "subtle...
