It's more bad news for Japan.
The world's third-largest economy failed last quarter to pull out of a mild recession, further raising prospects of aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus.
Data from Japan's Cabinet Office showed the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.4% from October to December -- a steeper slowdown than economists had expected and the third consecutive quarter of negative growth.
Exports, a primary driver of Japan's economy, remain in a slump, and the country's trade deficit is ballooning.
Later Thursday, the country's central bank will announce its latest policy decision. The bank, which is not expected to announce any major changes to monetary policy, is under intense political pressure.
Newly appointed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been the bank's most vocal antagonist, deploying supercharged rhetoric in an attempt to steer the country's central bank into aggressive easing.
The bank has responded to the pressure, pledging to make "open-ended" purchases of government bonds and raising its inflation target to 2% from 1%.
Abe's government has also put in place an $117 billion fiscal stimulus package that will increase spending on public works, disaster recovery and provide aid to smaller businesses.
The actions have precipitated a sharp fall in the value of the yen, which has weakened by nearly 20% against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of October.
Japanese exporters rank prominently among the beneficiaries of Abe's policies and the yen's decline.

Taxpayers Foot $96B Bill for Climate Disruption while Congress Fiddles
ACTION. Read this report and then ask your Congressman and both Senators how they plan to reduce the cost of climate disruption in the next five years.
The cost of climate-related disasters has increased considerably over recent years. At a time when there is much discussion of reducing the Federal deficit, a new analysis from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) titled "Who Pays for Climate Change? " shows that in 2012 "the costs of disaster recovery, flood insurance, crop insurance, and forest firefighting represent a major expenditure in U.S. federal budgets, reaching an all-time high of $96 billion in 2012. This high is in addition to the costs borne by private insurance companies."

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 7:06 PM - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.

Coloradans can't legally sell marijuana unless they are licensed by the state, but ads are now showing up on Craigslist that seem to be skirting the law.
CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger found people are giving the pot away for what some call "free."
The ads claim to be giving away the marijuana, but always with a twist. The ads have people seeking marijuana pay for the delivery, sponsor something, or make a donation.
One ad offers free medical marijuana at Bud's Worm Farm. The ad states that people cannot legally buy the pot at this time, but he will give it away for sponsorship of his red wiggler worms. Sponsor 100 worms and get an 1/8th of an ounce of pot.
One man, who asked not to be identified, is a medical marijuana patient who wondered if it's legal to obtain marijuana through such ads.
"I'd rather just call Craigslist and have them deliver to my door," he said. "I don't want it to be a police officer undercover and come and arrest me for solicitation of buying marijuana."
Another ad offers fresh and cured hash — not for sale, but for a donation of $60 a gram. Sallinger sent the person a text.
"I am interested in donations for hash, how does it work?" Sallinger texted.
The reply was, "I can meet you somewhere."
Obtaining pot may quickly become a free for all in Colorado.
"Well, then I might start growing marijuana again and start selling it door to door, to be honest with you," the medical marijuana patient told Sallinger.
A spokesperson for the Department of Revenue told Sallinger the ads he provided didn't appear to be from current medical marijuana providers and regulations for the sale of recreational pot have not been established yet.

I didn't bring a rain jacket on the AT because I find that there is no rain jacket that offers as much rain protection and ventilation as an umbrella. The ventilation is important because it postpones overheating.
For example, Lisa wore a rain jacket but by the time she would get to the top of a mountain, she would be soaked—in sweat, not rain. Either one would help take her down the path of hypothermia because of the cold winds at the summit.
An umbrella helps regulate your temperature because it lets the heat that your body generates while hiking evaporate quickly. Even "breathable" rain jackets trap a significant amount of heat. Near the top of a mountain, you can add a layer of clothing before your body starts to cool during the descent.
At eight ounces, a GoLite umbrella weighs about nearly half as much as a "breathable" rain jacket. Thru-hikers are fanatical about minimizing their pack weight, so this is yet another good reason to use an umbrella for rain protection. Moreover, since I wear glasses, I like how an umbrella does a much better job at protecting my lenses from getting wet than a simple hood.
Finally, when you're exposed to a scorching sun, umbrellas provide excellent protection and don't trap heat like a sunhat.
Lisa discovered that I was staying drier than she was, so after New Hampshire she sent her rain jacket home and used a GoLite umbrella for the 12 remaining states.
On the other hand, most hikers think I'm nuts. Although I encourage you try using an umbrella, what's more important is that you hike your own hike and use whatever rain protection makes you happiest.
Chip wrote:...which brand of umbrella you used on your PCT hike. It appears (from the pictures) to have a reflective surface. Is this a new golite version? Am I seeing things? Thanks.
SymBlanchard wrote:You had mentioned that you did not use the umbrella in the snow very much. Was this because the reflection upwards from the snow was about as intense as from the sun, so the protection is not that good? Or is it because the temperature was so cold that ventilation is not a problem? Or were there other reasons?
Do you find that your arms get tired holding the umbrella. Also, how do you deal w/ wind driven rain? Sorry to be a bother but you ARE a great resource, I'd be foolish not to ask. Thanks again, Mark

Surry County's representative to the North Carolina Senate died early Monday morning following what sources described as a routine back surgery.
According to State Sen. Don East's long-time friend Van Tucker, East died after a blood clot broke loose following the procedure and entered his brain.
He had reportedly entered the hospital to have surgery for a pinched nerve in his back.
"There were unexpected post-surgery complications," Tucker said. "He had an old, nagging back injury that involved a pinched nerve, and went in for a routine surgery. He was fine for three or four days, but unfortunately wound up dying of a blood clot."
East was 67, and his record of public service to the county goes back decades.
According to Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger (R-Rockingham), East was a Pilot Mountain farmer who also served as a career police officer in Winston-Salem prior to being elected to the legislature.
He served as a Surry County Commissioner from 1984 - 1992, and was elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1995, where he served until 2000.
After taking a break from public life, East returned to the Senate when he was elected to another term in the legislature in 2005, where he served until his death.
East served as the co-chair of the Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Committee, and co-chaired the Appropriation Committee's sub-committee on Natural and Economic Resources.
In addition, East was a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Insurance Committee and the Judiciary's Criminal Committee.
He also served as a member of the Senate's State and Local Government Committee, the Subcommittee on Justice and Public Safety and the Transportation Committee.
East was married to the late Connie Needham.
He is survived by his daughter, Gina Southern; son-in-law Mickey Southern and two grandsons, Matt and Jake Southern.
East served seven terms as the representative to the Senate for the state's 30th District, which after last year's redistricting now encompasses Surry, Stokes and Wilkes counties, and was seeking an eighth term during November's election, where he was being challenged by Democrat Ric Marshall.
Marshall said he was "shocked" to learn of East's death.
"Sen. East's passing was an unexpected shock to all of us and and my condolences go out to his family and friends," he said. "Despite the fact that Sen. East and I disagreed on issues of policy and politics, we agreed that service to the citizens of North Carolina is an honorable and worthwhile endeavor.
"His service and dedication to the people of Alleghany, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties – both as an elected official and a police officer – will not soon be forgotten. Some things are just more important than politics and my thoughts and prayers go out to Sen. East's family and friends."
Pilot Mountain businessman Tucker said East's service shouldn't be forgotten.
"I was his friend, and I've been his constituent for many, many years," he said. "I admired him both for his conservative approach on the issues and his blue collar identity with the common folk.
"Don was a long-serving representative for the citizens of his district and was a bigger-than-life character who struck fear in his enemies and demonstrated compassion for those who felt like the system was running them over.
"He stood up for the small man, the rural people who had real, everyday issues. And he worked tirelessly on those issues," Tucker added.
Sen. Berger, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, said East will be missed by his colleagues.
"Sen. Don East was a dedicated public servant whose life's work was looking after the people he represented," he said. "From his time as a police officer and county commissioner to his years in the legislature, Sen. East always put the interests of the people of his region above his own. He will be sorely missed by his family, constituents and colleagues."
Funeral arrangements are incomplete, and will be announced at a later date.
Gov. Beverly Perdue ordered that all flags on state facilities be lowered immediately to half staff until sunset today in a tribute to East.

MILLWOOD, W.Va. — A fourth armed robbery in a matter of eight days is believed to be connected to at least some of the others that have occurred in Meigs and Mason counties.
According to Jackson County Chief Deputy Tony Boggs, the J-mart on Point Pleasant Road in Millwood, W.Va., was robbed a few minutes before 10 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
The suspect was described as wearing a dark hoodie and possibly blue jeans, with a toboggan pulled down to his eyebrows and a blue bandanna covering from his nose down. The subject carried a black semi-automatic gun and fled on foot, as in the other three recent robberies.
The string of recent armed robberies began in Mason, W.Va., early last week. The Par Mar Convenience Store on Second Street was robbed near closing time by a man wearing a ski mask and dark clothing.
The second robbery occurred on Friday evening at the TNT Pitstop on Ohio 124 in Syracuse, Ohio. At closing time, a subject described as a white male, six foot tall and weighing 175 pounds, entered the gas station demanding cash. The suspect was wearing dark clothes and a black mask.
On Monday evening, the TNT Pitstop in Chester, Ohio, was robbed with an undisclosed amount of cash taken.
The suspect in the Chester robbery is believed to be shorter than the subject in the first two robberies, leading Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle to believe that it may not be connected to the ones in Syracuse and Mason.
In all four robberies, the subject was armed with a gun and fled on foot.
Anyone noticing suspicious activity is asked to call local law enforcement officials immediately.
Anyone with information concerning any of the robberies is asked to contact the Meigs County Sheriff's Office at (740) 992-3371, the Mason Police Department at (304) 773-5201 or the Jackson County, W.Va., Sheriff's Office at (304) 373-2290.
