| FLash | U.S. allows Korean Air to carry electric stun guns on flights
Korean Air is the first airline granted permission by the federal government to carry electric stun guns aboard jetliners that fly within U.S. airspace. The Transportation Security Administration last week approved Korean Air's request to carry Tasers, agency spokesman Mark Hatfield said Monday. The weapon, made by Taser International Inc., gives off a jolt of electricity that incapacitates the victim. Korean Air has been using Tasers on flights outside the United States for several years, airline spokeswoman Penny Pfaelzer said. The airline has 50 flights a week to the United States. Hatfield said Korean Air was the only airline so far to submit an application to use Tasers. Taser International Inc.'s stock price on the Nasdaq exchange jumped on the news by more than 20 per cent, or $9.67 US, to $56.16. |

| FLash | Intrawest says ski resort bookings climb from a year ago as snow falls early
The weather gods seem to be waxing their snowboards and mountain resort bookings are running ahead of year-ago levels, raising the spirits of Intrawest Corp. executives. But the company's share price slipped 2 per cent as investors scrutinized weaker than expected summer-quarter results. Dan Jarvis, head of Intrawest's leisure and travel group, told an analyst conference call Tuesday that season ski-pass sales are up five per cent from a year ago, while lodging bookings for the next 120 days have risen about three per cent. It's too early in the resort developer and operator's key season to provide earnings guidance, but heavy early snowfall at western U.S. resorts ``creates an environment for a strong beginning.'' Mammoth Mountain in eastern California is already boasting a snow base up to two metres deep. |
