China's Cruise Industry is Growing Fast - Quartz

Image name: cruise ship.
Photographer: Jon Sullivan.

Quartz:

"The growth is due not only to China’s rapidly growing travel market, but to the country’s location near small, attractive islands. The cruise industry is poised to take advantage of the nearby landscape much as it has taken over the Caribbean islands near the United States.

"There’s good weather here, lots of islands to visit and a lot of experiences. ..."

Richard Branson on Space Travel - WSJ.com:

"After nine years of fits and starts, Mr. Branson was in California showing off the spaceships that are now being built and tested. "This is the start of a new space era," he says. "This is not the endgame." But he admits there are skeptics of his grand plan to send tourists into space.

Experts dismiss prediction of global wine shortage - SFGate

Image: mickstephenson.photoshelter.com

Experts dismiss prediction of global wine shortage - SFGate:

"Confusion abounds over a prediction that a wine shortage could be looming.

A Morgan Stanley report released this week said worldwide wine demand exceeded supply by nearly 300 million cases in 2012. The study blamed the shortfall, the greatest in 40 years, on bad weather and fewer vineyards, and it added there may not be enough wine in future years.

But don't start hoarding your wine, because analysts are seeing it differently."

Tiger Woods leads by seven at Bridgestone Invitational:

"Although the world No. 1 wasn't nearly as sharp in all facets of his game as he was during his second-round 61, his first bogey-free round of the season, he nonetheless kept the rest of the field at a safe distance with a 2-under-par 68 to lead by seven with 18 holes to play."

Tiger Woods shoots first-round 66 at Bridgestone Invitational - CBSSports.com:

"Woods has finished in the top 10 in 11 of his 13 appearances at this tournament (including seven wins) and he looks to be on his way once again to a great showing with a first-round 66 on Thursday.

Here are Woods' average first rounds at Firestone separated by wins and non-wins:

When he wins: 66.4
When he doesn't win: 68.8

So that looks about right if you're rooting for Woods to get his fifth win of the 2013 season."
