【インドネシア】三菱電機が販社設立、15年度に売上２倍超
三菱電機は５日、インドネシアにエアコン、家電など量産品を取り扱う販売子会社、三菱電機インドネシアを設立すると発表した。消費市場が拡大しているほか、電力や鉄道の大型案件が増えているため販売体制を強化し、需要を取り込むのが狙い。現地で操業している２子会社と合わせ、2015年度に同国の連結売上高を11年度比で２倍超の230億円に引き上げる計画だ。
　販売会社は首都ジャカルタの都心部に設置する。資本金は600億ルピア（約５億円）で、シンガポール子会社のアジア三菱電機が70％、本社が30％をそれぞれ出資する。
　登記は済ませており、現在は来年３月の営業開始に向けて準備を進めている。国際本部国際事業部の寺田健志氏が現地法人の社長に就任。13年度に従業員60人体制とする予定だ。
　空調システム、家電、ファクトリーオートメーション（ＦＡ）機器を日本やタイなどから輸入販売する。家庭用エアコンは中間所得層以上を対象に、省エネ性能の高い高付加価値機種を中心に拡販する。業務用エアコンは、省エネ効果の高いマルチエアコンなどを投入。ビルやホテルでの受注を狙う。
　家電製品では、これまで現地で販売を手掛けてきた代理店や販売店の支援、研修拡充による販売網の拡大のほか、新たな販路の開拓を目指す。中間所得層以上をターゲットに、２ドア、３ドアの冷蔵庫などを売り込む考え。ＦＡ機器は、営業・マーケティングや技術サービスの要員を増やし、販売・サポート体制を整備する。
　三菱電機はインドネシアを、東南アジア最大の経済規模で人口が２億4,000万人と多い中、若年層の割合が高いことから、重点市場のひとつと位置付けている。販社の設立で代理店や販売店との連携を高め、事業規模を拡大させる。
　現地での空調システム、家電、ＦＡ機器の11年度の売り上げ規模は約10億円。販社設立で15年度には50億円まで引き上げる考え。自動車機器と昇降機を製造販売する現地の２事業と、日本から直接請け負っている発電・重電といったインフラ事業の売上高は11年度が90億円。15年度の目標額は180億円だ。

コラム：GKコーチの理想的な仕事とは？（後編）

コラム：GKコーチの理想的な仕事とは？（後編）
スペイン・バスク地方のゲルニカで、育成とトップチームのGKコーチを務めていたジョアン・ミレット氏。人口１万人程度の小さな町から、プロクラブで活躍するたくさんのGKを送り出したジョアン。その仕事の特徴については、「コラム：GKコーチの理想的な仕事とは？（前編）」で紹介した。

そのジョアンが今季から舞台を日本に移し、湘南ベルマーレの『アカデミーGKプロジェクトリーダー』として働くことになった。

湘南ベルマーレ：　アカデミーGKプロジェクトリーダーにジョアン・ミレッ氏　招聘のお知らせ


果たしてジョアンはどのような仕事をここで成し遂げるのか？

今回はジョアンという人間を、スペインの周囲の人々、指導者仲間や教え子がどのように見ていたのか。彼らのインタビューをまとめた『岡崎篤のメールマガジン』から特別寄稿して頂いた。


【以下『岡崎篤のメールマガジン』より】

「ジョアンと個人的に知り合ったのはまだジョアンがゲルニカに来る前、カタルーニャに住んでいたころだよ。でも指導者として知り合ったのは彼がゲルニカに来てからだなぁ。びっくりした。だってとてもすごい指導をするんだから。だから僕が５年前にコーチングスクールのディレクターになったとき、すぐにジョアンにGK講師としてのオファーを出したんだ」

言葉の主はジョアンをよく知る指導者アルベルト・イグレシア氏(※)。

彼がどんな指導者なのか話を聞いてきました。

※アルベルト・イグレシアス　３９歳
現ビスカヤ県コーチングスクール・ディレクター
同校インストラクター　レベル３技術担当

スペイン３部リーグ　２クラブ　２シーズン
スペイン４部リーグ　２クラブ　４シーズン
アスレティック・ビルバオ下部組織　５シーズン(U18、U15、U12)
※フェルナンド・ジョレンテ、アモレビエイタ、スサエタ等を指導


■技術に重きを置く

「彼は他のGKコーチとは全く違うよ。（どのように違うのですか？）そうだなぁ。僕もこれまで沢山のＧＫコーチを見てきたし一緒に仕事もしてきた。一般的な風潮としてはそのトレーニング法は日増しにグローバルになっているということ。そして彼らはたくさんの動きを一緒にトレーニングさせる。たくさんの量をこなさせる。でも、、改善はあまりしない。だから技術面から見れば、大きな成長がみられない。
　一方でジョアンの指導法は驚くほど細かい。キーパーに関する技術をミクロ単位までこだわる指導者だと言えるね。例えばシュートを止めるというキーパーの動作について誰よりも研究しているよ。各動作を細かく段階分けして指導するんだ。それはハイボールの処理しかり、１対１の対応しかり」


■反復に重きを置く

「そしてジョアンは反復をすごく重要視する指導者だ。時にはたった一つの動作を習得するために費やす時間がものすごく長くなることだってある。一つの動作を習得するためだけに、数週間と費やすことだってあるんだ。でも選手が一度それを習得してしまえば、その選手は見違えるような成長を遂げる。
　つまり。そうやって一つ一つの動作を丁寧にジョアンと一緒に学んでいったキーパーはね、技術的にそれはそれは恐ろしいくらいすごいキーパーになっているんだ。だからこのバスク地方ではジョアンの指導されたキーパーというだけでもう、一目置かれる。
　それは事実として現れてる。彼が８歳９歳くらいから育て上げたキーパーはアスレティック・ビルバオに行く。彼がユース年代から指導し始めたキーパーだって２部、３部、４部のトップレベルのクラブが獲得していく。そんな流れになってるんだ」


■厳格さ

「そして彼は非常にキーパーとの対話を重んじる。人間として愛情に満ちあふれた指導者だよ。しかし、練習ではとんでもなく厳しい指導者に変わる。だからゲルニカのキーパーはフィールドに立っているよりも、ずっと長い時間を練習に費やすことでも有名だよ」



また、ジョアンの教え子たちは、彼をどう見ているのか。

以下はゲルニカU－１５、U－１８、トップチームでプレーする選手はもちろんのこと、来季からスペイン２部でプレーするアルタミラ選手、アスレティック・ビルバオの下部組織でプレーするアイトール選手、スペイン代表のウルコ選手、RCDエスパニョールでもプレーしたイボン選手、その他にゲルニカを離れスペイン３部でプレーする選手たちが参加してインタビューを行った。


■普通じゃない

インタビューのはじめに、リーダー格の一人のキーパーが切り出しました。

「まず日本の方々に最初に知っておいて欲しいこと。それはこれまでゲルニカにはキーパーはいなかった（良いキーパーは輩出されなかった）ってことだよ。でも１０年前に彼が来てからというもの、、、各年代で１人ずつ。いや１人じゃない。各年代で２、３人とサッカーの世界でお金を稼ぐキーパーが出てきている。俺は24歳だ。ジョアンがみっちり教えたキーパーの中の最初の年代だよ。俺たちの町はたった１万５千人の “大きな”村。去年のアスレティックのユースのキーパーは２人ともゲルニカ出身だったんだ。これって普通なことじゃないよ？　アイツ（ジョアン）が何か、しでかしてるとしか考えられないでしょ」


■“安心感”と“技術”

こんな質問をしてみました。キーパーにとって最も大事なものは何だと思いますか？

「チームに安心感を与える存在であるかどうかが一番大事だよ。それがキーパーに最も求められていることだよ。そこには強烈な個性だって絶対に必要だ。適度に狂ってなきゃできない仕事だよね。
　でもね、その裏付けとなるのはやっぱり技術だよ。だからジョアンの育てたキーパーは良いキーパーなんだ。だってジョアンは誰よりも技術に最大限の重きを置いている。そしてそれを教え込む術を知っている。GKの正確な技術がチームに安心感を与えるんだ」

別のキーパーが話します。

「問題は、ジョアンと一緒に過ごした後、他のチームへ行った時だ。すごく辛いんだ。長い間ジョアンと共に技術を磨いてきた後、他の場所へ行く。するとそこでは全く違ったシステムで練習が行われてる。２，３カ月だったらどうってことないよ？　そんなすぐに習慣や技術ってのは失われないんだから。でもそれが１年、２年と過ぎていったら大変だ。技術にどんどんサビがきちゃう。もちろん毎度激しい練習はしてるからさ、体力的には衰えないよ？　でも、、技術は少しずつさびてくる。辛い気持ちになるよ」


■なぜ・Porque(ポルケ)～

ジョアンと他の指導者との違いについての質問をしてみました。この質問を投げかけた瞬間、あるキーパーがボソっとつぶやきました。

「そんなのむちゃくちゃあるよ、、、、、。」

そんなたくさんある違いの中でも大半が口をそろえて答えてくれたのがコレです。

「常に理由を伝えてくれることかな。すべての動きの理由を僕たちに説明する。そして今やっていることは試合中のどの状況で起こるのかもしっかり伝えてくれる。それからはじめて、トレーニングが始まるんだ。一方レサマ（アスレティック・ビルバオの総合練習場が所在する村の名前）ではそこまでなぜそうするべきなのかを教えてはくれない。
　その他のクラブでもそうだと思うけど、レサマの人たちにとって大事なのはパフォーマンスを維持するため、フィジカルコンディションを維持するためにトレーニングを行うこと。だから色々なトレーニングを行うんだ。でもね。毎度テーマが変わるから、技術を少しずつ積み上げて行くって感じじゃないんだよね」


■バルサのキーパーも

実はもう一人のキーパーにインタビューを行いました。その名もジョアン・フェルナンデス(１４歳)。彼は今、ＦＣバルセロナのカンテラでプレーしています。

この夏のオフシーズンを利用して、ジョアンがゲルニカで開く夏のクリニックに参加するためにやってきました。彼は言います。

「ジョアンは練習メニューをこなさせるコーチじゃないんだ。彼は確かな理論をもってして、キーパーとはどうあるべきかを一から教えるコーチなんだ。基礎の基礎から教えてくれる。どうやって手を構えるのか。どうやってキャッチするのか。どうやって転ぶのか
（それはこれまで教わったことはないんですか？）ないよないよ。手をどこにセットするかなんて、これまで一度も教わったことない。
（日頃バルサではどんなトレーニングを行っているのですか？）ウォーミングアップをして、ボールを軽く触って、早速メニューをこなしてくんだ。パス＆コントロール、シュート、、、etc。コーチたちは転び方が良くないだとか、そういう視点では指導はしてくれないんだ。「グワッと伸びろ！うまく転ぶんだ！」ってそんな感じで言われるかなぁ。ジョアンみたいな指導はされてないよ。僕が思うにジョアンが教えていることっていうのは、キーパーにとってとても重要なことだよ。ジョアンみたいな人には会ったことがないよ」


■最も大事なこと

インタビューの終盤。それまでほとんど発言することがなかったキーパーが回想しながら話を始めました。

「なぜ俺たちがアイツと一緒に居たいか？　その理由はね、たぶん、その理論だけではないと思うんだ。アイツの理論や練習メソッドは天下一品だよ？　でもそれ以上に、アイツはね、いつも俺たちのそばに居てくれるんだよ。たとえば、俺はアスレティック・ビルバオの下部組織で４人のキーパーコーチと時間を過ごしたわけ。でも、一度たりともしっかり対話したことがないよ？　「おー元気か？　今日の練習はこれだぞー、、、」ってこれくらいの会話はあるよ？　でもそれ以上はない。練習が終わって、、挨拶をして、、、それで終わりだよ」

別のキーパーも続きます。

「確かにそうだ。一度シーズンが終わってチームを離れちゃえば、それでほぼ関係は切れちゃうんだ」

別のキーパーが言います。

「アイツは俺たちのお父さんみたいなもんなんだ。いつまでたっても俺たちのそばにいてくれる。辛いときもずっと対話してくれる。だから安心するんだよな。それってキーパーがパフォーマンスを維持する上でもすごく大事なことだよ」

(Reuters) - Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett faces serious obstacles to winning his antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA over the harsh sanctions it imposed on Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal, legal experts said on Wednesday.

While targeting the National Collegiate Athletic Association may be popular politically in a state where Penn State football is widely loved, the federal court handling the case might rule that the state lacks standing to bring the lawsuit in the first place, experts said.

Moreover, the state of Pennsylvania must demonstrate the NCAA penalties harmed consumers and constituted a breakdown in the competitive marketplace.

"It's not a frivolous lawsuit - there are real arguments to make - but, boy, is it weak," said Max Kennerly, a lawyer with the Beasley Firm in Philadelphia who has been following the case closely.

The sanctions the NCAA imposed on Penn State in July included an unprecedented $60 million fine and the voiding of all of the football team's victories over the past 14 seasons.

Corbett's lawsuit was distinct in that, unlike the university, the state of Pennsylvania was not a party directly affected by the sanctions. Instead, Corbett brought the suit on behalf of third parties such as stadium workers, shopkeepers, hoteliers and others whose businesses were disturbed because of the NCAA's penalties.

The obstacle Corbett faced was "converting what may be real and perhaps significant harm" to Penn State students and athletes and local businesses into an antitrust violation, said Gabriel Feldman, a professor at Tulane University Law School.

"This is an extremely uphill battle for Pennsylvania," Feldman said.

The NCAA has been sued on antitrust grounds fewer than 10 times over the past five years, estimated Matt Millen, a professor at Marquette University Law School and director of the National Sports Law Institute. Most of those cases were settled or dismissed because courts often defer to the NCAA when it comes to matters of rules and enforcement actions, Millen said.

Past antitrust suits against the NCAA that have been successful tend to involve operations such as marketing and licensing because the body has "a stranglehold" over those spheres, Kennerly said.

The Supreme Court ruled in the 1984 case of NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma that the NCAA's policies on television broadcast rights to college football games violated federal antitrust laws. Former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon led a class-action suit against the NCAA in 2009 that is still pending over the use of student-athletes' images and likenesses without compensation.

In contrast, antitrust lawsuits over NCAA sanctions have been less successful in court. In the 1988 case of NCAA v. Tarkanian, the Supreme Court ruled the NCAA was a private entity not obligated to abide by due process considerations when it hands down sanctions, Kennerly said.

Backlash follows House delay on Sandy relief vote

After a late-night decision from House Republicans to delay a vote to provide billions of dollars in relief to states hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy, House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday attempted to tamp down a backlash, telling colleagues he would bring up one part of the aid package to a vote at the end of the week. New Jersey and New York Republicans said Wednesday afternoon that Boehner promised them he will vote on a $10 billion extension for the government's flood insurance fund—set to run out next week—on Friday.

The speaker said he will bring the other $51 billion in aid to a vote January 15.

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, a Republican, blasted Boehner earlier on Wednesday for not putting the bill up to a vote. Christie warned Boehner and the Republican House majority that they would feel the wrath of outspoken New Jersey and New York politicians.

New York "Gov. [Andrew] Cuomo and I are not wallflowers. We are not shrinking violets," Christie said. He called the delay in aid "callous" and an act of putting politics over what's best for the victims of a major storm trying to rebuild.

"All I can tell you is that this was the speaker's decision. His alone," Christie said, adding that Boehner did not take several of his calls Tuesday night.

Some Republicans have expressed reservations about money in the aid package that did not go directly to relief efforts and questioned why the bill needed to be passed quickly when Congress was also dealing with the "fiscal cliff" and other issues. It seemed on Tuesday that Congressmen from the Northeast and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor had hammered out a deal to split the aid bill up into two parts, but then Boehner unexpectedly declined to bring it up for a vote.

"It's a Boehner betrayal," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, Democrat from New York.

But Republicans from the Northeast were also mad. On the House floor, Rep. Peter King, a Republican from storm-ravaged Long Island, N.Y., blasted the delay as "indefensible" and said Congress had a "moral obligation" to hold the vote. On Wednesday, he urged New Yorkers to withhold all donations to congressional Republicans in an appearance on Fox News, apparently so hopping mad about the delay that he doesn't mind turning on his own party.

"I’m saying right now: Anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds," King said. He even hinted he might jump ship from the Republican Party altogether if they didn't vote soon.

By Wednesday afternoon, his tone had softened after Boehner promised to vote on the $9 billion in aid on Friday and an additional $51 billion by Jan. 15.

Democrats have singled out Boehner for the delay, but also blasted other Republicans for their criticisms of the bill. Schumer said in a press conference on Wednesday that he was "infuriated" by a comment from Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican from California, who said the bill didn't move in the House because it was filled with pork. Schumer said Issa should speak to one of the hundreds of thousands of homeowners who need help repairing their homes and will now face a delay in getting relief.

"Tell that homeowner to his face ... that it's pork," Schumer said. He added that Issa would surely not want to face such a delay if an earthquake hit his home state: "I know he wouldn't say the same thing about California."

President Barack Obama also urged action on the bill on Wednesday in a statement.

Some congressional Republicans have said the $60 billion bill, which had already passed in the Senate, is too expensive and does not provide enough oversight for how the funds are spent—and that there is no real need to pass it quickly. The bill contains $11.5 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund, $17 billion for community grants that help businesses and homeowners with rebuilding and repairs, and $9.7 billion in government flood insurance. An additional $11.7 billion would go to fixing damaged mass transit systems and $5.3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers to prevent future flooding.

"FEMA has plenty of money, there's no immediate needs," House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Kentucky, told CNN on Tuesday. "FEMA has enough money to last until at least late February-March."

Schumer rejected the idea that the relief bill was not urgent, even though FEMA is adequately funded for now. On Wednesday he said flood insurance funds are set to run out next week and that many homeowners are facing more than $100,000 in damage, making the $32,000 FEMA maximum grant inadequate. Some homeowners can't sign repair contracts or get loans before they know the $17 billion in homeowner relief will actually be provided by the government, Schumer added.

The October storm left more than 100 people dead and devastated parts of the Northeast, including New York City. In his press conference, Christie said the current 66-day wait for the federal aid package is longer than those faced by victims of Hurricanes Ike, Katrina, Andrew and Gustav.

The backlash is also a reminder that feisty tri-state area politicians do not hold back their anger. James Molinaro, the borough president of hard-hit Staten Island, told Yahoo News the delay is "unconscionable" for the people in his borough who live in one of the island's 20,000 damaged or destroyed homes. "It's just plain stupid, and it's something that it's tough to understand how the United States runs to the aid of countries all over the world when there's a tragedy … and with their own people, they question it."

Clinton speaking to staff on phone, receiving memos

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is being treated for a blood clot behind her right ear, has been talking with her staff by telephone and receiving memos, the State Department said on Wednesday.

Clinton also spoke to two foreign officials - the U.N. envoy on Syria and the prime minister of Qatar - on Saturday, the day before the State Department disclosed the blood clot and her stay at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

"She's been quite active on the phone with staff and taking paper, etc.," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at her daily briefing.

The secretary of state, who has not been seen in public since December 7, was revealed on Sunday evening to be in a New York hospital under treatment for a blood clot that stemmed from a concussion she suffered in mid-December.

The concussion was itself the result of an earlier illness, described by the State Department as a stomach virus she had picked up during a trip to Europe that led to dehydration and a fainting spell after she returned to the United States.

In a statement released by the State Department on Monday, Clinton's doctors said they were confident that she would make a full recovery and that she would be released from the hospital once the correct dosage of blood thinners had been determined.

Soccer-Depression an issue in English professional game - survey

LONDON, Jan 2 (Reuters) - Depression affects large numbers of footballers in the English professional game according to a survey by soccer magazine Four Four Two.

A preview of February's issue on the magazine's website (www.fourfourtwo.com) said that 78 per cent of 100 professionals surveyed agreed depression is a problem for footballers.

Former Everton, Newcastle United and Wales player Gary Speed was found dead in his home late in 2011 after hanging himself having spoken of "taking his life" according to his wife at the inquest.

In the wake of Speed's death, players' battles with depression became more of an issue and the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) sent out advice leaflets to 50,000 ex-players.

Former Germany goalkeeper Robert Enke killed himself by leaping in front of a train in 2009 and his suicide was chronicled in the award-winning book "A Life Too Short."

Former Hull City striker Dean Windass said he had tried to commit suicide early in 2012 and that he had little money left despite earning more than half a million pounds ($815,000) a year at the height of his career which ended in 2010.

Other findings of the survey revealed 43 per cent believe there are too many foreign players in the English game and three-quarters said match tickets are too expensive.

Woman, 25, dies on Texas-bound flight from Brazil

HOUSTON (AP) -- An American Airlines flight from Brazil to Dallas was diverted to Houston on Wednesday after a 25-year-old passenger became ill and died aboard the aircraft, police said.

Airport officials summoned homicide detectives to George Bush Intercontinental Airport just before dawn after learning that American Flight 962 was coming to Houston because of a medical emergency involving a passenger. The passenger was declared dead after the plane landed, authorities said.

"There was no sign of trauma," and no foul play is suspected, Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said. An autopsy will be done, she said.

The name of the passenger, a woman, wasn't immediately released, and American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller said the airline couldn't provide any information about her.

According to authorities, the Boeing 777 left Sao Paolo at 1:12 a.m. with 220 passengers and a crew of 14 bound for Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. When the woman went into medical distress, the flight crew, along with a doctor who happened to be on board, began performing emergency procedures, and the plane was diverted to Houston.

The plane landed in Houston at 6:34 a.m., left the city about 2½ hours later and finally arrived in Dallas at 10:25 a.m.

Federal law requires a defibrillator on every flight with a maximum payload capacity of 7,500 pounds, a rule that covers major airliners, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said. It also requires flight attendants to have CPR and defibrillator training at least once every two years.

Miller said every American flight has an extensive medical kit and an automated external defibrillator. Flight attendants must complete annual CPR and medical training approved by the FAA, he said.

In addition, American is one of the few airlines with trained medical professionals on staff, Miller said. Doctors are on call 24 hours a day and available to work with flight crews.

While onboard deaths are not unheard of, it's not clear how many there are. The FAA does not keep track, Brown said.

A Vanderbilt University study published in 2003 based on a review of an unidentified major airline showed 1.52 "medical diversions" for every billion passenger miles flown. Another study published the same year from George Washington University put the number of deaths at one unidentified airline for all of 1999 at 0.1 per million passengers.

Myanmar says jets used against Kachin rebels

YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's military has used jets to attacks rebel fighters in northern Kachin state, the government said on Thursday, its first admission of an intensification of a conflict that has raised doubts about its reformist credentials.

Rebel sources have reported aerial bombings, shelling and even the use of chemical weapons since December 28 after the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) ignored an ultimatum to stop blocking an army supply route in the hilly, resource-rich state where more than 50,000 people have been displaced.

Official newspapers said that air support was used on December 30 to thwart KIA fighters who had occupied a hill and were attacking logistics units of the Tatmadaw, as Myanmar's military is known.

"The Tatmadaw troops cleared Point-771 hill and its surrounding areas where the KIA troops were attacking the Tatmadaw logistic troops," the New Light of Myanmar, a government mouthpiece, said. "The air cover was used in the attack."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced concern on Wednesday over reports of helicopters and fighter jets being used in the state bordering China. The KIA said the attacks were intended to clear the path for an assault on its headquarters in Laisa.

Ban called on Myanmar's government to "desist from any action that could endanger the lives of civilians" and reiterated demands for humanitarian aid groups to be granted access, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said in a statement.

President Thein Sein's quasi-civilian administration insists it wants a ceasefire and political dialogue. It says troops have acted only in self-defense and on Thursday denied having plans to seize the KIA's stronghold.

DOMINANT MILITARY

The escalation of fighting has raised doubts about the sincerity of the reformist ex-generals running the government and the extent of their power in a country the size of Britain and France plagued by decades of internal conflict.

Some analysts and diplomats say central government is either not fully committed to peace with the KIA or unable to assert control over the military, which still dominates politics and the economy despite formally ceding power in March 2011.

Colonel James Lum Dau, a Thai-based spokesman for the KIA's political wing, said Kachin officials on the ground had reported up to 300 people killed in air strikes.

"We are in a defensive position. Right now more people are suffering not only bombings, but shelling and spraying of chemical weapons with helicopter gunships and jets," he said. "Only god knows what to do. We are praying."

It is difficult for journalists to independently verify accounts from the two sides.

Fighting erupted in Kachin in June 2010, ending a 17-year truce, and has continued even as government negotiators have agreed ceasefires elsewhere with ethnic Shan, Chin, Mon and Karen militias after decades of fighting in border areas.

Mistrust runs deep between the military and the KIA, which was once backed by China, and multiple rounds of talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire have gone nowhere. Analysts say a history of bad blood and a battle for control of resources, including highly lucrative jade, could be stoking the unrest.

Zaw Htay, a senior official in Thein Sein's office, told Reuters no air strikes had taken place but K-8 trainer jets had provided cover fire to protect ground troops from rebel attacks. The military, he said, had no intention of seizing the KIA's headquarters.

"The president has said this and at the same time he has invited KIA leaders to come and talk with him in Naypyitaw, but they still haven't responded," Zaw Htay said.

Judge: US can keep secrets on targeted killings

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that President Barack Obama's administration doesn't have to publicly disclose its legal justification for the drone attacks and other methods it has used to kill terrorism suspects overseas.

Two New York Times reporters and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a 2011 request under the Freedom of Information Act that sought any documents in which Department of Justice lawyers had discussed the highly classified "targeted-killing" program.

The requests followed a drone strike in Yemen that killed an al-Qaida leader, Anwar Al-Awlaki, who had been born in the U.S. That attack prompted complaints from some law scholars and human rights activists that, away from the battlefield, it was illegal for the U.S. to kill American citizens without a trial.

Those demands for documents were turned down, on the grounds that releasing any details about the program, or even acknowledging that documents on the subject existed, could harm national security.

In a decision signed Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon chided the Obama administration for refusing to provide the documents but said she had no authority to order them disclosed.

"I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules — a veritable Catch-22," the judge wrote. "I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the Executive Branch of our Government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret."

The judge kept one small part of the ACLU's document request alive, pertaining to a pair of Department of Defense documents that are not classified, but said she was obligated to reject the remainder of the requests because of national security secrecy rules. Part of her opinion was filed under seal, unable to be seen even by lawyers for the Times and the ACLU, and may be read only by people with security clearance.

A spokesman for the Department of Justice declined to comment on the ruling, saying only that the decision was under review.

David McCraw, assistant general counsel at the Times, said the newspaper planned to appeal the judge's ruling, although he also praised her for speaking "eloquently and at length to the serious legal questions raised by the targeted-killing program."

ACLU Deputy Legal Director Jameel Jaffer said the ruling would deny the public "access to crucial information about the government's extrajudicial killing of American citizens."

"The judge rightly acknowledges that the targeted-killing program raises troubling questions," he added.

The judge, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, noted in her decision that Obama and high officials in his administration had, on several occasions, acknowledged publicly that the killings were taking place and revealed that their legality had been discussed internally. But she said those discussions were done "in cryptic and imprecise ways."

"More fulsome disclosure of the legal reasoning on which the Administration relies to justify the targeted killing of individuals, including United States citizens, far from any recognizable 'hot' field of battle, would allow for intelligent discussion and assessment of a tactic that (like torture before it) remains hotly debated," the judge wrote.

"However, this court is constrained by law, and under the law, I can only conclude that the government has not violated FOIA by refusing to turn over the documents, and so cannot be compelled by this court of law to explain in detail the reasons why its actions do not violate the Constitution and laws of the United States. The Alice-in-Wonderland nature of this pronouncement is not lost on me."

Newborns Know Their Native Tongue,…

Just hours after they're born, babies seem to be able to tell the difference between sounds in their native tongue and a foreign one, according to a new study that suggests language learning begins in utero.

"The mother has first dibs on influencing the child's brain," researcher Patricia Kuhl, of the University of Washington, said in the statement. "The vowel sounds in her speech are the loudest units and the fetus locks onto them."

Researchers examined 40 babies (an even mix of girls and boys) in Tacoma, Wash., and Stockholm, Sweden. At about 30 hours old, the infants in the study listened to vowel sounds in their native language and in foreign languages. The babies' interest in the sounds was measured by how long they sucked on a pacifier wired to a computer.

The study found that, in both countries, the infants listening to unfamiliar sounds sucked on the pacifier for longer than they did when exposed to their native tongue, suggesting they could differentiate between the two. Lead author of the study, Christine Moon, a professor of psychology at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, said the results show that fetuses can learn prenatally about the particular speech sounds of a mother's language.

"This study moves the measurable result of experience with speech sounds from six months of age to before birth," Moon said.

Previous studies have indicated that babies begin to develop sound-recognition skills while still in the womb. For example, in a 2011 study detailed in the journal PLoS ONE, a group of women were asked to play a brief recording of a descending piano melody in the last three weeks of their pregnancy. When the babies heard the song again a month after birth, researchers found that the infants' hearts slowed significantly compared with when they heard an unfamiliar song. In other experiments described in the journal Current Biology in 2009, scientists recorded and analyzed the cries of 60 healthy newborns when they were 3 days to 5 days old — 30 born into French-speaking families, 30 into German-speaking ones. Their analysis revealed clear differences in the melodies of their cries based on their native tongue.

The new research, which will be detailed in an upcoming issue of the journal Acta Paediatrica, could shed light on previously unknown ways that newborns soak up information.

"We want to know what magic they put to work in early childhood that adults cannot," Kuhl said. "We can't waste that early curiosity."
