(AP) ? Some travelers were plainly jittery about flying Sunday. Others weren't worried, confident that security would be tight on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11. And some figured, well, whatever happens, happens.

In Los Angeles, Kim Pinney, who operates a daycare center in Virginia, booked the latest flight home possible from a friend's wedding in the belief that that would minimize her chances of falling victim to a terrorist attack.

"If something was going to happen, it would happen during the day and then it would be over," she said in a telephone interview Saturday. Since her flight was at 11 p.m. Sunday, she added, "Technically, I'm flying for an hour on 9/11 because it will be 9/12" for most of the flight.

Authorities and travelers were clearly on edge:

? Two fighter planes escorted a New York-bound American Airlines jet after three passengers locked themselves in a bathroom during the flight from Los Angeles, officials said. A law enforcement official said the incident was not believed to be terrorism-related. The plane landed safely at Kennedy Airport.

? A man was detained at the Kansas City, Mo., airport and a terminal shut down after authorities found suspicious items in his carry-on bag. Authorities said the items tested negative for explosive materials, but they gave no further details on what they found.

? A rental truck parked at a curb at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport caused a brief scare. Authorities became alarmed when the driver said, "I got a couple of guns," but he turned out to be a member of the crew of the Discovery Channel program "Sons of Guns" ? a reality show about a custom gun shop ? and he was waiting for a co-worker, FBI official Kevin Gentry said.

Reminders of the day's significance were palpable in airports across the U.S. and beyond.

At Boston's Logan Airport, where the jetliners that brought down the World Trade Center took off, ticket agents, baggage screeners and other workers paused at 8:46 a.m. for a moment of silence to mark the time the first plane struck the twin towers.

At the Tampa, Fla., airport, an honor guard of law enforcement officers carried flags while a bagpiper and a bugler played.

Matt Yates, an accountant traveling from John Wayne Airport in Southern California to Atlanta and Florida for business, wore an American flag shirt that he dons on patriotic occasions.

And Genevieve Mercier, a nurse who passed the time with a French novel about a plane crash, arrived at John Wayne 3? hours early for her flight home to suburban Montreal in anticipation of heavy security.

In many ways, there were signs of Sept. 11 all around, even if passengers didn't immediately realize it.

Travelers in line at the checkpoints had to take out their driver's licenses ? one of the many security measures introduced after the terror attacks. And at John Wayne, someone left behind a belt at the X-ray machine, and an announcement came over the public address system asking the owner to claim it.

In Los Angeles, Mindy Garrett of Arizona was flying with her husband and their two children to San Diego to visit SeaWorld and the zoo.

"I knew it was Sept. 11, but CNN said the threats were on the ground not in the air. And LAX is a big airport," she said.

"It just worked out to be the best date for us. I mean, if someone's going to blow me up...," husband Thomas added with a shrug.

Some travelers flew with an air of defiance and a determination to appear unfazed by the threat of terrorism.

"I spoke to many business people who would wince when they heard I was traveling on 9/11, but I don't want to do that," said Patrick Bienvenue, a native of Canada who dressed in red pants and a blue-and-white checked shirt to show his affection for the United States, his home for the past three decades. The Rockport, Maine, real estate executive was flying out of Boston and headed to Miami.

John Hollenbeck, 49, of Canyon Lake, Calif., was scheduled to fly for business exactly 10 years ago, but his flight was canceled by the attacks. He was flying again Sunday, leaving out of John Wayne.

"I have no concerns over terrorism. Not that I have no concerns over terrorism ? I have no concern that security's inadequate," he said.

It's hard to know exactly how many people were traveling Sunday because airlines don't release information on how many passengers travel on a given day, and none offered any information on Sept. 11 traffic trends when asked by The Associated Press.

But George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, said major U.S. airlines have traditionally run one-day-only sales on the anniversary of the attacks, indicating they expect fewer passengers to fly. Those sales haven't been offered this year, perhaps because Sunday is typically the busiest day of the week to fly, he said.

At Logan, the number of passengers appeared to be lower than usual for a Sunday morning, said American Airlines customer service representative Kettly Dehoux.

"Today is slow and calm," she said. "I think today some people stayed home and didn't want to travel."

Pam O'Hara, a nurse specializing in pediatric oncology whose husband is a retired New York firefighter who responded to the attacks on the World Trade Center, was returning to Hazlet, N.J., with her daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter from a nursing conference in Anaheim, Calif.

She said she was apprehensive enough about flying on the anniversary that she avoided any flights from the Los Angeles airport and Kennedy Airport, figuring that they would be more desirable targets for terrorists. She was flying out of John Wayne.

"I would have preferred probably to fly tomorrow," O'Hara said, but she said her husband, who never talks about the carnage he witnessed, assured her that extra security would probably keep her safe.

Christine Abrams, who was flying to San Francisco from Boston, said she had largely avoided Sept. 11 news coverage because she knew she would be flying on the anniversary.

"But a lot of my friends said, 'Oh, it's probably the safest day to travel,' and I think so, too," said Abrams, a preschool teacher and musician who lives on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard.

In London, some passengers flying to New York said they weren't concerned.

"You can get knocked down by a bus or a car any day. If it is meant to be, it is meant to be, but my daughter won't be happy about it," said Alan Jefford, of Wales.

NewsDaily: Economic gloom piles pressure on G7 finance talks

Economic gloom piles pressure on G7 finance talks


By Catherine BremerPosted 2011/09/09 at 4:53 am EDT

MARSEILLE, France, Sep. 9, 2011 (Reuters) ? G7 finance chiefs meet on Friday under heavy pressure to take action to revive flagging economic growth in rich nations and calm the biggest confidence crisis in financial markets since the global credit crunch.

Host country France has called for a coordinated response from the Group of Seven industrialized nations after mounting anxiety over Europe's debt crisis and the fragility of its banks caused a big fall in world stock markets in recent weeks.

Differences between the economic problems facing the United States, Britain and euro zone states are complicating the task though, meaning one-size-fits-all solutions will not work.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde said in London before boarding a flight for Marseille that policymakers must have the conviction to tackle today's challenges, including with unconventional measures, and cautioned against too much fiscal consolidation in a climate of sputtering growth.

A source in Brussels has said the G7 would likely agree to keep monetary policy accommodative, slow fiscal consolidation in states where that is possible, and implement structural reforms.

No communique will be issued after the talks, something French Finance Minister Francois Baroin said would make for freer discussions. He told the daily Le Figaro each G7 country should adopt economic measures to suit its situation.

"In terms of the direction to take between stimulus and budgetary consolidation, some are in favor of a uniform action," Baroin said. "For my part, my tendency is to look for what is most adapted to each country's situation."

The G7 finance ministers and central bankers will sit down from mid-afternoon in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille.

A working dinner will be followed by briefings from around 9:15 p.m. local time (3:15 p.m. EDT) by the French, German, Canadian and Japanese delegations and European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet.

U.S., OECD WANT STRONG SIGNALS

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Thursday that it was "imperative" to bolster growth. The OECD called for "strong signals" from the G7 and urged central banks to keep interest rates low and consider other forms of monetary easing.

With Asian economies deeply concerned about the West's debt crisis and slow growth, Japan is also expected to speak out on the euro zone debt crisis and may also voice concerns over the strength of the yen and reserve the right to unilateral action.

Finance Minister Jun Azumi said late on Thursday it would ask the group for its understanding on its intentions to counter speculative moves in the yen.

Lagarde said countries must act now, "and boldly," giving her blessing to more quantitative easing by central banks and saying the challenge was to find a pace of adjustment that was neither too fast nor too slow.

"If growth continues to lose momentum, balance sheet problems will worsen, fiscal sustainability will be threatened, and the scope for policies to salvage the recovery will disappear," she said.

A Morgan Stanley research note speculated central bankers might announce some kind of coordinated monetary easing as soon as over the weekend.

But while decisions by the European and British central banks on Thursday to keep interest rates unchanged accentuated the gloom in Europe, neither indicated that a move was imminent.

Wall Street also closed sharply lower on Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave no indications of new stimulus to boost the economy in a keenly awaited speech.

"The G7 meeting may induce some book squaring ahead of the weekend," Unicredit said in a research note. "However, despite speculation about new coordinated forex intervention, a standard final statement remains the most likely outcome."

Fears the global economy may be in its most difficult period since the 2008 collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers have added significance to Friday's talks but there has been little evidence of urgent, coordinated action by policymakers so far.

While Europe wants to keep its commitment to austerity, the United States is closer to the International Monetary Fund's position that fiscal stimulus is needed.

President Barack Obama announced a $447 billion jobs package of tax cuts and government spending on Thursday that attempts to jump start the stalled economic recovery and avert another recession.

In a Financial Times opinion piece on Thursday, Geithner said that while a repeat of the massive coordinated fiscal stimulus efforts of 2009 was not possible, decisive action was needed to deal with a bleaker rich world growth outlook.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development forecast on Thursday that growth across the G7 economies would slow to just 0.2 percent in the last quarter of 2011.

"With respect to three months back the growth scenario looks much worse, one would say that growth is stagnating," said OECD chief economist Pier Carlo Padoan.

The G7 has struggled to retain significance compared to the larger G20, which includes major emerging market powers like China and Brazil, but being smaller means it can agree more swiftly on action where needed.

The OECD's Padoan said G7 finance chiefs risked sending the wrong signal if they did not use Marseille as an opportunity to indicate they are ready to take action if growth slows further. Global stock markets were again lower on Friday.

Denny Emerson's Book HOW GOOD RIDERS GET GOOD Gets a ...

We are all devoted Denny Emerson fans at TSB. His intensity, smarts, and sharp perceptions regarding the world of riding and horse sports are some of the indicators of, and reasons for, his great competitive and personal success within the equine industry. We hoped that his, frankly, flat out terrific new book HOW GOOD RIDERS GET GOOD would not only share his knowledge of how to get where you need to go, reach goals, and follow your riding dreams, but also ensure that the lessons he?s learned, and those he?s witnessed others learn, will be passed on to educate aspiring riders for generations to come.

It is always a thrill when someone ?gets? your book?your message, your intent, perhaps your clever jokes. Since his book has come out, Denny has reminded us that the characteristics of the successful individual he describes in his book really apply to any sport, any career?to life in general. And it?s true. When I read HOW GOOD RIDERS GET GOOD for the first time, I actually kept a handwritten list of all the things I needed to do and/or change in my life (regarding my career, my writing, my family) in order to take control and ?get good??while riding horses is the medium he uses, in a way it is just a little sugar to help the self-help medicine go down.

In case you haven?t gotten it yet, this is GOOD medicine. Vanessa Wright at ?Great Books for Horse Lovers? agrees. Check out what she posted in her blog last month:

?Written with Chronicle of the Horse?s??One of the 50 Most Influential Horsemen of the 20th Century? -?international gold medalist eventer, Tevis Cup winner, and former USEA president Denny Emerson ? and featuring profiles of 23 jaw-droppingly accomplished riders in nine internationally celebrated equestrian sports, you?d think that?How Good Riders Get Good: Daily Choices that Lead to Success in Any Equestrian Sport?would be a practical how-to-make-it manual for those high-octane riders who dream of winning at the Olympics, Worlds, or Medal-Maclay. And it is. But?How Good Riders Get Good?is also an essential guide for any rider, riding instructor, and rider parent or spouse, because it isn?t only a book about how the world?s best riders become the best, it?s a book about how?every?rider can become his or her best.

?Success in riding isn?t based on talent, wealth, or plain old luck, Emerson explains, it?s the result of a rider?s choices. Outlining seven?Areas of Choice?? ?your horse sport, your life circumstances, your support network, your character, your body, your knowledge, and your horse? ? he describes how riders of any age, background, and ability level can take up ? or take back ? the reins of their riding lives and move purposefully toward their goals. It can be challenging to be that frank about our circumstances, priorities, and choices, but it?s also freeing. Once you know what success truly means to you, it?s easy to take great strides toward becoming a ?good? rider.

?I would know: at first, this book stopped me and my horse,?Pegasus, in our tracks. I couldn?t simply read it as I?d planned; I started going through the questions myself. I was shocked to discover how much my goals have changed since I first brought Peg home ten years ago. At that time, I planned to compete him at Preliminary level in?eventing, and gallop to a constellation of one-star wins. What happened? Job changes, family changes, moves, injuries. Somehow my nearly-seven-year-old horse had become nearly-seventeen, and for me, success had come to mean something very different.?What I truly want most, I realized, is to help Pegasus have a decade or two of healthy, happy senior years, and for us to have fun together through them.

?So I thought: What would it mean for me to be a good rider now? Paging through?Good Riders,?I decided that I?d need to be fitter and more sensitive in the saddle, so that my riding could be more like gentle yoga for Peg?s aging joints and muscles. I?d have to find a sport or two that my old campaigner could enjoy with a minimum of risk. And I?d definitely need to know as much as possible about every aspect of caring for a senior horse.

?The right choices ? for me ? were suddenly clear. I added a weekly longe lesson on one of my instructor?s horses to improve my seat. I signed up for the free fitness analysis our local health club offers, and I?m sticking to the exercise program they gave me. (Would I do it for myself? Maybe. But what wouldn?t we do for our horses? :) ) I also found a?hunter pace?and a?trail ride?Pegasus and I could attend this fall. Most importantly, though, I asked our (wonderful!) vet to give Peg his first annual ?healthy horse? ears-to-tail checkup, asked her a million questions, and have been following her recommendations for his feeding and care.

?Don?t get me wrong: these changes have created a mountain of work, they?ve demanded some tough choices, and I know they?re only the beginning. But with Peg?s bright eyes and smiling muzzle greeting me every morning, and?How Good Riders Get Good?sitting on my tack box for inspiration ? which echoes even when the Nationals-bound riders borrow my copy! :) ? I know it will all get done, and I feel confident that it will all be ?good.?

?Want to accomplish anything with horses, and get a leg up on any success you want to achieve in life? Read Denny Emerson and Sandra Cooke?s?How Good Riders Get Good. The only question the book doesn?t answer is the question just for you:?How successful do you want to be??

Holiday Syndrome ? an ajumma's dilemma | The Korea Blog

Chuseok is looming around the corner, and as the holidays come nearer and nearer, the faces of my friends are getting longer and longer. To be more precise, my married girlfriends, the ajummas (???, married woman). Mention ?holidays? and they involuntarily shudder. But why? Why aren?t holidays anticipated with excitement and joy but with heavy-hearted dread?

With holidays come immense stress

Traditional holidays require changes in stance. For the modernized nuclear family, this discrepancy between traditional paternal family values, which are suddenly required on holidays, becomes a huge source of stress. Instead of the holidays being a rest from the daily grind, they become the cause of unhappiness, bringing on headaches, indigestion, backpains and even depression.
This phenomenon has been dubbed Holiday Syndrome (?????). It is so prevalent that it has become a part of the Korean lexicon and is sometimes called Housewife (??) Holiday Syndrome or Daughter-in-law (???) Syndrome , which reveals much about family dynamics.

A typical holiday setting: working women, lounging men

Being an ajumma is tough. Whether you have a job or are a full-time homemaker, household chores and child-rearing are still the women?s job, and when large family gatherings come around, this becomes more blatant and ?normal.? Although Korea has changed over the years, nothing has really changed much when it comes to holiday traditions: namely, the women work while the men lounge about.

The table setting for the ancestral rites

Chuseok is the festival to celebrate autumn?s bounty and remember ancestors, so naturally there is a lot of food involved. And making the food is usually left to the women to do, mostly because Korean men rarely venture into the kitchen to cook (unless they cook as a hobby) and expecting them to make complicated holiday foods might be regarded as a stretch. So it?s usually the mother and daughter-in-laws who are stuck in the kitchen all day to endlessly cook and wash dishes.

Korean food requires so much time to make properly; holiday food takes even more. There are so many steps in making even the simplest namul (??, seasoned vegetables) dishes; the saying goes that you take an armful of raw vegetables to make a handful of namul. Making jeon (?) requires you to sit in front of an open fire to endlessly slice, assemble, dip in batter, fry, and cool for hours and hours. Half-moon rice cakes, songpyeon (??), have to be carefully crafted, one by one, by hand.

An old TV commercial depicts the usual holiday kitchen scene

There is so much work to be done yet even the most ?modernized? husbands tend to spend most of their time relaxing in the comfort of their parents? home. Most traditional holidays are spent with the paternal family and wives usually complain their husbands become different people when they?re at their childhood homes. Although some families divide time with the maternal family as well, this is thought as being ?very considerate? and is not common.

Holiday traffic can be a nightmare

But to be frank, it isn?t only the women who suffer during holidays. After all, the driver on the long road trip home on a non-moving highway is almost always the dad, and when skirmishes and problems arise among the women of the household (i.e. mother and wife), it is usually the man in the middle who has to smooth things over.

Paying respect at ancestors? graves

Doctors and experts always point out before every traditional holiday that the best method to avoid Holiday Syndrome is to evenly distribute the household chores, but that is so more easily said than done, so modern families are finding other ways to make the holidays a joyful experience. Many are opting to visit their ancestors? graves on the weekend before the holidays to take care of the graves and pay respects in a simplified ritual, and when the actual holidays roll around, go on a family trip. (It is sad to think that the only way things can get better is by avoiding the work that goes into preparing the holiday feast altogether, but it is also a reminder of how bad things can get during the holidays.)

Korea is still trying to find a balance between the high-tech lifestyle and traditional values, but the fact is that not much has changed since I was a kid, and that was decades ago. So it is certain that the sighs and distressed expressions of my ajumma friends will deepen as Chuseok approaches.

But I still have to say Happy Chuseok! As for you ajummas, I have my fingers crossed for you. Good luck.
