Alaska Airlines: Most flights on time

washington

Alaska Airlines and its Horizon Air affiliate said Sunday they have resolved a computer outage that led to the cancellation of 150 flights a day earlier, disrupting travel plans for more than 12,000 passengers.

The company said in a statement that most of its flights are operating on time, though about a dozen have been delayed due to crew scheduling issues. The company recommends passengers check their flight’s status online or by calling 1-800-ALASKAAIR.

Nintendo ready to take 3-D to masses

new york

With the Nintendo 3DS, the Japanese video game company is betting that it can once again nudge mass entertainment in a new direction, just as it did nearly five years ago when it launched the Wii with its innovative, motion-based controller.

This time, though, the competition from other devices is tougher.

The handheld 3DS, which went on sale in the U.S. on Sunday for $250, lets users play 3-D games without wearing special glasses. It also takes 3-D photos. This summer, the 3DS will play 3-D movies streamed from Netflix on its 3.5-inch screen.

Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo’s U.S. arm, calls it “the first mass-market 3-D device.”

Burt’s Bees founder wants to donate park

township 3, range 8, maine

Roxanne Quimby, the conservation-minded founder of Burt’s Bees cosmetics wants to give more than 70,000 wild acres she purchased next to Maine’s cherished Baxter State Park to the federal government, hoping to create a Maine Woods National Park. She envisions a visitor center dedicated to Henry David Thoreau, the naturalist who made three trips to Maine in the 1800s.

The park would be nearly twice the size of Maine’s Acadia National Park. In a giveback to sportsmen, her vision is to set aside another 30,000 acres of woodlands north of Dover-Foxcroft to be managed like a state park, with hunting and snowmobiling allowed.
