Rallies Across U.S. Back Wisconsin Protestors
A broad coalition of socialists, communists, government-employee unions and leftist special-interest groups held "Save the American Dream" rallies in all 50 state capitals and other cities across the nation over this past weekend in support of anti-reform Wisconsin protestors, who simultaneously held what according to police was the biggest demonstration in two weeks of intense protests in Madison. And organizers say it's just the beginning.
Wisconsin Protests Go National
As protests in Madison, Wisconsin dragged into their second week, both sides held support rallies for their cause across the country as the chaos spread to states such as Ohio and Indiana. Dozens of gatherings referred to as "solidarity events" were hosted across the United States to back the anti-reform Wisconsin demonstrators the week after protests started.
Wisconsin Protests: The Reforms, the Reality
As the intense protests in Wisconsin move into their second week, The New American took a look at Gov. Scott Walker's proposed reforms, critics' claims, as well as the fiscal situation of the state. It turns out state and local governments are facing massive deficits, and the unfunded government-employee pension liabilities are enormous. The so-called "budget repair bill" would aim to start solving some of the problems.
Tea Party Shows Support for Wis. Gov. Walker, Reforms
After several days of enormous demonstrations organized by socialists, government-worker unions, and Democrats, a coalition of conservative and Tea Party groups rallied on Saturday, February 19, in Madison, Wisconsin, to support newly elected Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his proposals to rein in a massive budget deficit while reducing the power of state- and municipal-employee unions.
National Guard May Deploy as Socialists, Unions Wreak Havoc in Wisconsin
A coalition of socialists, government-union members, and other protestors — some of whom were reportedly bussed in from out of state — wreaked havoc in Madison, Wisconsin, in recent days while demonstrating against proposed budget cuts and a bill that would prevent most government employees from collectively demanding ever-increasing salaries and benefits.
Why Did It Take 10 Years to Get bin Laden?
Questions about President Obama's ever-changing narrative on Osama bin Laden's reported assassination and rampant speculation that at least some Pakistani officials may have been involved in hiding the terrorist leader have been swirling around the internet in recent days. But there's another important angle that has received less attention: Assuming bin Laden really was killed over the weekend — his death has been reported on numerous occasions by credible sources since 2001 — how could it take so long for the most powerful governments in the world to find one man?
Bin Laden & Al-Qaeda: U.S. Govt. Creations
The popular narrative surrounding the life of Osama bin Laden is filled with questions, intrigue, and misinformation. Though he ultimately became one of the most loathed figures in the American psyche, it's important to remember that bin Laden was once a good friend of the U.S. government. In many ways, he can even be considered a creation of American officials and their allies. His Mujahedeen, or Islamic warriors, were even armed, trained, supplied and financed by America and some of its allies.
A Brief History of Government Immunizations
As the start of the federal government's most ambitious vaccination program approaches, it is worth taking a second look at the history of similar campaigns in the past. Since most of the media and government health officials constantly laud vaccine successes, this article will dwell more on the stories that are not as widely disseminated.
Gold Prices Soar on Fed News, Other Factors
A combination of several factors, including a declining dollar and the Federal Reserve's announcement that it would keep interest rates at virtually zero until late 2014, helped to send gold and silver prices soaring to multi-week highs. Analysts expect the upward trend to continue as paper currencies founder and gloomy news continues to dominate the economic headlines.
U.S. Fed Bailout of Euro Prompts New Push for Audit & Sound Money
As central banks around the world unleashed a coordinated deluge of new money to deal with the economic crisis swamping Europe, critics expressed outrage that the Federal Reserve System — and all holders of U.S. dollars by extension — would be bailing out profligate European governments and the troubled euro currency. And furious American lawmakers are again demanding congressional oversight of the Fed and a restoration of sound money.

Sony says "Gem" was a prototype name for its controller
Sony has said that its motion controller is not called Gem, but it was an early prototype name for the product.
"The term 'Gem' was an early code name for the product," SCEA bossman Patrick Seybold told Kotaku. "We haven't announced final name at this point."
This comes to light after John Riccitiello slipped up and blurted the name out yesterday at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference.
Still, Gem is better than the Wand. Sounds less pornographic to us at any rate.

Pro Evolution Soccer will have motion control in future installments
Pro Evolution Soccer's Shingo Takatsuka has confirmed to IGN that Natal and Sony's wand will be implemented in future editions of the series.
"Up until 2009 we believed all the platforms should have the same controls and features," he told the site. "That's no longer the case, because there are specific controllers for different machines, what with Natal and the PlayStation motion sensor system. I cannot say much, but I can say we are looking at integrating those devices into our games very aggressively."
Konami's development team also plans to continue listening to PES players, whose feedback helps refine the new iterations of the game.

Sony: There are several candidates for Motion Controller name
Sony head Shuhei Yoshida said during TGS that for now, the motion controller debuted at E3 is being dubbed the Wand Controller.
Until Sony can come up with a proper name, that is.
"There are several candidates for the name of the controller," said Yoshida. "The SIXAXIS and the DualShock 3 — while great product names — are based on the actual tech. The name we pick for the Wand Controller maybe won't be so techy."
Sony is hoping to appeal to both the casual and core market with the controller, therefore Sony is eager to convey the image instead of the tech.
Rumors that Sony already has a Nunchuk peripheral in the design phase are floating about, but Yoshida refused to comment on it. Instead, he said that using the DualShock 3 as a Nunchuk was "the cheapest solution".

Motion games on PS3 only need one wand, says Sony
Sony bossman, Shuhei Yoshida, has told Eurogamer that the launch titles coming for the new PS3 motion controller only need one of the motion controller to be played.
"The ultimate goal or wish for us is if you have two controllers, like we demoed at E3, we can do something really amazing," he said.
"It's like putting your arms into the TV, like a gaming space, and you have total control of the 3D space in front of you, but because of cost-of-goods and, you know, people have to have the PlayStation Eye camera as well, we are approaching the launch by making sure that all games that we create can be played with one controller and the camera.
"We will also introduce options for if you happen to have more than one controller available. Experiences will be enhanced if you purchase a second."
During E3, Sony mentioned during the demonstration that up to four wands could be used and recognized by PlayStation Eye at once.

Suda, Hino and Mizuguchi agree that E3 was all about motion control
Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda, Level-5′s Akihiro Hino, and Q Entertainment's Tetsuya Mizuguchi chat about E3 in the latest Famitsu, and all seem to agree that motion control stole the show.
"Hardware-wise, it was all about Project Natal," Suda told the magazine. "It's hard to really understand it unless you use it, and it remains to be seen what you can do with it, but I think it'll be a huge device. We developed No More Heroes with the Wii remote in mind, but now I want to think about games with Natal in mind. I have to ask myself, as a game designer, what new games can be done with this, what can be an interesting experience and challenge, and I'm looking forward to that."
"With new technology announcements like Natal and the [PS3] Motion Controller, it's like I have a feel for the new generation, or that the door to the future has been opened," said Tetsuya Mizuguchi. "It's a wholly different impression of the future than we had before. It's not a shift from 2D to 3D or in the number of polygons, but it's games trying to open up an entirely new door. I thought it would take longer, but it's happening faster than I expected."

PS3 motion controller has force feedback rumble, other nifty things
Sony has been showing off its new motion controller to devs and publishers lately, and apparently it can do all sorts of things.
For starters, it has force feedback rumble, works across all genres of titles, face and head tracking will be realized with the camera that it comes with, and it can track up to four motion controllers at one time.
Now we just need a damn name for it. Some reports are calling it the Sony Wand at the moment.
That just sounds a bit, well, naughty to us.
More over at Gamasutra.
Thanks, MaxConsole.

"Market Common success"
Loved the location due to proximity to everything. Room was exactly what we were looking for. We checked in quite late upon arrival due to traffic delays en route. It was confusing to find the place because office was closed (shame on us for not having read documentation properly). But besides requiring clearer instructions to find the place, all went […] well.

We visit Myrtle Beach very often for short stays. This is the first time we have stayed at Market Commons. The room rate was incredible for mid-August so we gave it a try. We were very pleased with our 2 bedroom suite, it was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. Having so many nice shops and restaurants within walking distance made this trip perfect. […] Anyone who has visited Myrtle Beach during summer months knows getting around in traffic can be very challenging and a waste of precious vacation time!

"Nice accommodations"
This condo was awesome for our family vacation to Myrtle Beach. It was roomy and clean...having a full kitchen was a real plus.

"Close to venues but not a typical hotel!"
Maybe we didn't do enough research about the accommodations but it was difficult to find the suites because we expected a hotel and not a rental office that managed efficiency apartments located above stores. The furniture was showing signs of wear and stains and the Murphy bed was extremely uncomfortable. I would not return and select a real hotel […] next time. It was very convenient to shopping, restaurants, etc., but parking was a bit difficult since you had to park in a grocery store lot and drag your luggage down the street. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Overall the experience was a nice one. The room was very spacious and clean. It was also close to the grocery store, shops, restaurants, movies and of course the beach. The only issue I occurred was the check in time. We could only check in at 4pm which was difficult for my family because we have two young children and arrived early that morning.

"Bad customer Service but great room"
When we arrived at Market Commons we drove around for about 15 minutes trying to locate the office. We saw what we thought was the office and at 5:45 pm it said closed. We thought maybe we had the wrong location so we found another spot which happened to be the suites. As we were standing outside trying to figure out where to go a security guard approved […] us and another woman and asked if we were locked out. We said no we were trying to check in and he informed us that the office closes at 5:00 and that we should try back tomorrow after driving 12 hours. We told the security guard several times that our paper said 6:00 and he said I don't know why it would say that when they close at 5. Finally we had to show him the paper. The paper also states if the office is closed to a number and the security guard said that it was his number and he didn't know why it would be on there. After arguing with him for about 5 minutes he finally walked over and got a paper and directed us to where we would be staying. I have worked in customer service for 11 years and have never dealt with that kind of horrible customer service. After driving 12 hours to call back tomorrow after we paid for the night is unacceptable. I'm pretty easy going but that was ridiculous. Luckily the room was very nice and the places around the suit made up for the rude security guard. Next time I will pay more attention to the reviews. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Our view was a looking into a parking garage on one side and the back of PF Chang's from the living area and balcony. All views of the city were obstructed by the buildings and parking deck.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"I Must go back"
I enjoyed so much that I find myself looking at the webpage pictures even though trip is over. It was a private condo with all necessities. It was so cool temperature wise. The bed was comfortable enormous spaces 3 tv's free movie n park very peaceful neighbourhood luxury shops but clean scuff marks on walls housekeeping.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The market common area was awesome. A chic little neighborhood great for the fashionistas with many boutiques. The theater and cold stones within walking distance was a major plus. But the unit was not equiped with enough toilet tissue and trash liners for 5 d stay for 5 guest. Bathroom sink and tub drained out slowly. The room was not cleaned thoroughly […] because my son found undies of a previous guest at the foot of the bed. Despite those inconviences I will definate choose the suites again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great location, nice room, bad service"
Pros: Location was great, room was nice, washer/dryer in unit, balcony overlooking the upscale shopping area, wireless internet. Cons: terrible customer service. We arrived late at night and they simply gave us a code for our building & room over the phone. It took us 30 minutes walking around in the middle of the night to finally find the right building. […] It was terrible since we were exhausted. We even called the phone # back to get more specific directions to the room and the operator couldn't help at all! Also, bring all your own soap, shampoo, etc. It comes with only 1 tiny thing of bar soap & shampoo. We requested an extra bar of soap and were told "no, you can buy some at piggly wiggly". Floor was really sticky which gross, and our unit had a very strong perfumy smell like they were trying to cover up pet odors or something. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"OK Stay"
Very roomy, comfortable suite. Convenient to shops and great Italian restaurant. No maid service but suite had washer dryer, kitchenette. Not close to beach but good golf location. Overall three day stay was great would rebook for another trip to Myrtle BeachHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Perfect for our needs"
We stayed at the Suites at Market Common while we were visiting my in-laws who were staying at a nearby campground. I was very impressed by the rooms. Our condo was extremely clean and the amenities were great. Check-in was easy and quick. 4 sets of bath towels were provided and it was great to have a washer and dryer in the room to use if needed. I […] feel like if we hadn't had a place to hang out right at the beach each day, staying here may have been a hassle, but for what we needed it was perfect and the rates were great! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The suites of Market common was absolutely wonderful. The room was very spacious and clean. Great location to shop and explore myrtle beach. Will definetely stay here again if I ever come back to Myrtle beach. You won't be dissapointed.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Overall the stay was good but two things I didn't like. For the money you pay to stay at the hotel there should be a swimming pool and when I initially talk with the hotel fronk desk personnel they told me that Mrytle Beach was within walking distance from the hotel. The beach is not within walking distance from the hotel, you need a car to get to the […] beach. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Wonderful Accomadations"
I love the Market Commons because it is spacious and very well kept. Its like vacationing in my own home. The location is great only 10 minutes from Broadway, Boardwalk and the beach. I stay here 3 to 4 times a year and I always look forward to it. Wish there was a pool on site but other than that the place is absolutely perfect.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

We were staying asst Myrtle Beach for a week vacation in July. It was all last minute so we only had limited availability close to the resort so we opted for Market Common which is a few miles out of the main resort.We were delighted with the quality of accommodation we were given. It was a studio but was very large and well equipped. Everything about […] the studio was quality. The only downside was no maid service so everything was self catering but this wasn't a hardship because everything was provided, including laundry facilities with a washing machine/drier provided. Market Common is quite remote but there is an hourly bus service that runs into the resort every hour from outside the site supermarket, Wiggly Piggly. The bus service is cheap and reasonably reliable although we were visiting during Independence day weekend so there were delays caused by high volume of traffic on the roads. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The parking was not the best had to park in a parking garage then go through the maze to find where u enter the building where your suite is located. Not an actual hotel more like apartments above shops. Was nice area but just didnt like the parking situation. Also if you plan on cooking I would bring non stick pans as all the had were stainless steel […] and not a big variety maybe 4 pcs. It was very nice to be able to walk 2 blocks to the movie theatre and all the shops were great! It was also noce that it was an upscale area and didnt have people begging for money lime they did around the beach area. Bring extra tiilet paper and dish soaps shampoos and things like that as it is not provided with the room. Maid service does not come in until you leave and when we checked in there was dog fecees on the floor in the bedroom and the recliner was broke in the living room. It was a plus to have a washer and dryer as we had to wash and dry our towels every day and only had 4 for a family of 5. Another big disappoinment is that you CAN NOT check in until after 4 we were up for over 30 hours before being able to check in had to change into our swim wear in a restroom of an area resraurant. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
We enjoyed are stay at the Market Common Suites. We will recommend the hotel to our friends and family. The full kitchen and the Piggly Wiggly so closes was a great convenience. It was different not having staff to clean the rooms, but most of what was needed is given to you. The washer and dryer was a GREAT surprise. It felt more like an apartment […] and not a hotel. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Loved the place, but problems with check in"
I will say We LOVED staying here and will definitely do so again. The location is absolutely amazing, lots of shops, amazing restaurants but still a nice quiet atmosphere. A park across the street you can walk around, only about 2 miles from the beach where you can park*it is pay for beach parking came out to 6 dollars a day* you could come and go as […] you pleased. The suite was huge and so comfy. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, lots of plates cups, dishes to cook with. There are plenty of towels along with a washing machine to wash as needed. There is no maid service at all, its pretty much the same as if you were renting a house not connected to a unit witch is why we were so attracted to it....much more private. I will say though I wasn't happy that there was no extra toilet paper or even trash bags. So if you do get this unit remember EVERYTHING, dish soap, dish detergent, laundry detergent and trash bags...things like those that you would forget. There is a full grocery store on the premises that carries pretty much everything you would need. Check- in office had closed at 4 even though they said open till 6 so when calling the office we were told they couldn't check into our rooms for another hour until they could find the person who has the late arrival list...after driving 10 hours that was very frustrating, when asked to speak to a manager we were told tha'ts who they couldn't find, so I called expedia and they were able to get us checked in right away. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Nice suite, terrible parking facilities & check in"
Check in was terrible. We arrived around 3 PM and were told they would call us around 4 to let us into the suite. Finally around 4:30 we went back to the check in desk and our room was ready, they just didn't call us. They were not very friendly either. 4 PM is very late for a check in time when people have been traveling all day. Plus there were a […] lot of people checking in at the same time! Parking was not convenient at all. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"great location"
Love the location at Market Commons! In minutes you can walk to nice restaurants, retail shops, grocery, movie theater, parks, ponds . Beach is a 5 minute drive Our Kensington Suite was large and bright. We would have preferred a balcony overlooking the ponds and fountains, but still the views from our windows were of the pretty retail shops.The futon […] in the spare room was a nice feature. King bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The full kitchen was well supplied. Washer/dryer was a plus. Negatives: Only a couch in main room - no other chairs. Only extra seating were 4 dining table chairs. The couch had stains on it. Some dishes had crusted food on them. The bathroom has 1 sink, unusual for the size of the suite. There was only 1/3 roll of toilet paper and no spare when we checked in. There is no complimentary coffee, no salt or pepper, etc. so you have to bring your own. There was no dishwashing liquid provided and yet there was a couple packs of dishwasher powder. Found a broken jagged light bulb in a bedroom lamp, but it was replaced promptly by management. WiFi was not working first day and 1/2 of our stay, but that was finally corrected by mgt. I would say that even though we had a special price for our stay at Market Commons, it is still pricey! But, the location and convenience is probably worth it! A little more attention to the housekeeping of the units between guests would be recommended of mgt. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Very nice place"
Super handy to shops. After traveling for 2 weeks it was nice to be in the same spot for 3 days. Washing machine and dryer were very handy. We had a 2 room 2 bathroom. Newish apartment with comfortable beds and couch that folded out to bed and 3 tvs. My only complaint would be the armchair was well worn which was odd as the rest of the furniture was […] in great shape. Nice big kitchen 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Roomy and Nice"
We stayed in the 2 BR 2 bath w den. We wished we had a better view off our balcony. It looked out to the Piggly Wiggly parking lot. The rooms are just as pictured. Very clean and the surroundings are perfect. Nice for shopping or just taking a stroll. Everything is in walking distance - even the grocery store. I believe the area is MUCH nicer than the […] beach strip along Ocean Blvd. The beach is close so the drive is about 5-7 minutes away. You may need to pay for parking at the beach though. There were two things we had to report to the office about our room. One of the twin beds in one of the rooms seemed to have had a broken leg because when you sat on one side of it, it leaned to the side. The other defect was the closet door to the washer and dryer. It was broken and would not move to close. Other than that we all had a great time. These were minor fixes that did not disrupt our vacation. Will visit again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"The ghost hotel"
My husband and I purposely picked this hotel because we did not want to stay on the main strip (Ocean Blvd). Being a native of S.C., I know how the crowds are this time of year. The only thing this hotel has going for it is it convenience to the strip and Kings Hwy. Other than that, where do I begin? When we arrived, we could not find the main office. […] After 30 minutes of driving around and around the shopping complex we finally caught up w/ a security guard, who said "it's over by the bank". We drove over there and there was this tiny little building that only said "vacations". We finally check in and are told that we have to park in one of the "packed" parking garages (because keep in mind this is not only a hotel, but a shopping center), and make our way to a tiny entrance, also poorly labeled, that will lead us to our hotel room. After waiting for someone to leave, we get a parking space and walk down to the tiny entrance. The room was nice, but not what I asked for. We got a full size bed instead of a queen. At night the rooms are very noisy. You can hear what everyone in the other rooms is doing, including them getting off and on the "pull" down beds that are in the rooms. That's right you get a pull down bed, not a regular one. It's also very bright. The doors have very big windows and light from the entrance way and from outside comes shining in, lighting up your room all night. Checking out was even worse. At 8 am there was no one there to check us out so we just left 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"OK to Stay"
Hotel and location good. No Pool. At check in person rude, check in suppose to be 4:00pm and room not ready until 5:30pm.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Expected a more upscale room"
The location was perfect but the unit itself was generic and uncomfortable. The sofa was uncomfortable, very tight bedroom and I had no idea there would not be coffee in the unit. The check in host was curt with us and there is just not a need for that. There was no blackout curtains and the vertical blinds did not do the job. I love Market Commons […] area but thought the rooms would have a touch of luxury or class but it did not. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Highly Recommended"
The condo is very nice, clean, and modern. It is very close to shopping and dining venues and not very far from the beach. The directions to the check in office should have been better, but other than that, everything else was close to spectacular. The lobby is nice, the condos are nice and very clean with very modern amenities. It was a great space […] for a family and not terribly expensive considering the location and the good condition of the property. We were a ten minute drive from the beach and that is due to the traffic in the area which is fairly constant at Myrtle Beach. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

The yen rose versus a majority of its 16 most-traded counterparts as Cyprus's banks reopened for the first time since striking a bailout deal that forced losses on some depositors, spurring demand for the safest assets.
Japan's currency strengthened as the Bank of Japan reiterated its policy-easing options, damping speculation for additional novel measures to boost the economy. The euro rose from a four-month low against the dollar. Mexico's peso has been the best performer against the dollar among its 16 major peers this month and this quarter.
"The yen is stronger partly because of the safety principle," said Steven Barrow, head of Group of 10 research at Standard Bank Plc in London. "The markets may be sensitive to the news around the reopening of banks in Cyprus. The market is well set up for something reasonably aggressive from the BOJ so the downside risks for the yen against the dollar are limited."
The yen gained 0.4% to 94.09 per dollar at 10:21 a.m. New York time. Japan's currency lost 0.1% to 120.79 per euro. The 17-nation euro rose 0.4% to $1.2835. It touched $1.2751 yesterday, the least since Nov. 21.
Peso Strength
Mexico's peso has gained 3.5% to the greenback in the past month, while South Korea's won has declined 2.7%. This quarter, the Mexican currency has rallied 4.1% and South Africa's rand has depreciated 8%.
The rand today gained the most in two weeks as the nation's trade deficit narrowed in February from a record in the previous month. South Africa's currency rose 0.5% to 9.2127 per dollar.
The Australian dollar fell for a second day against Japan's currency as Italy's inability to form a government and Cyprus's bailout damped demand for riskier assets. The so-called Aussie fell 0.7% to 97.98 yen.
The European Central Bank is scheduled to make its next policy announcement on April 4. The central bank has held its benchmark interest-rate at 0.75% since July.
The Central Bank of Cyprus's capital controls will include a 300-euro ($384) daily limit on withdrawals and restrictions on transfers to accounts outside the country. Banks opened at midday. They will close at 6 p.m. local time, Yiangos Dimitriou, head of the central bank's audit department, said yesterday in comments broadcast on state-run CyBC television.
Capital Movements
The European Commission said in a statement the control on capital movements must remain "proportionate" and be lifted as soon as possible.
"Euro has come down quite a bit this week," Robert Lynch, a New York-based currency strategist at HSBC Holdings Plc, said in a telephone interview. "That contagion element has been problematic for the euro in the past and had contributed to the euros' weakness yesterday, and you don't have that today. With the more stable backdrop, I think that's probably contributing to euro's performance today."
The Federal Labor Agency said the number of people out of work in Germany increased a seasonally adjusted 13,000 to 2.94 million. Economists had predicted a decline of 2,000, according to the median of 24 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
The euro has dropped 0.4% in the past three months, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, which track 10 developed-nation currencies. The dollar has risen 2.9%, while the yen dropped 7%, the worst performer.
BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told parliament's upper house today that policy makers need to lower yields on longer-maturity government bonds and that purchases of risk assets may also be needed. The comments echoed lower-house testimony on March 26, when Kuroda pledged to buy more government bonds to reach the BOJ's inflation goal. The central bank will discuss policy on April 3-4.
"Kuroda's been talking up more aggressive easing and stamping out deflation," said Janu Chan, a Sydney-based economist at St. George Bank Ltd. "If the governor does what's expected, we'll probably see limited reaction. There's probably more risk that the yen strengthens than weakens."

SoonerCare Companion When 15-year-old Brady Wells went to a routine checkup with his allergy doctor, his mother had no idea what her son and their family were about to face. Brady had just finished his baseball season at the end of June 2009, and in mid-July, he went to his doctor's office. His allergy doctor said he had no idea how Brady could have been playing baseball with the state of his heart. The doctor sent Brady and his parents to Children's Hospital in St. Louis to see a heart transplant specialist for a week of tests – and ulti-mately for a new heart. Brady had been a SoonerCare (Oklahoma's Med-icaid) member since shortly after his birth. When Brady was born, his mother said his doc-tors and family knew Brady had serious heart problems. Valerie Wells, Brady's mother, said that, for "83 roller coaster days," Brady's family didn't know if he would survive and be able to come home from the hospital. "I had insurance at the time," she said, "but I was unable to work due to his illness so he went on SoonerCare." "We couldn't have gotten through everything we faced without SoonerCare," she said. "SoonerCare even helped us stay at the Ronald McDonald House near the hospital for seven weeks while we waited for an available heart." Brady has a new heart and is back to playing baseball. Brady's mother shared their story as part of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority's "Tell Us Your Story" campaign. SoonerCare asks members to share how SoonerCare made a difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones. SoonerCare provides quality health care for 1 in 4 Oklahomans. If you are one of the more than 700,000 SoonerCare members or a former mem-ber, go to http://www.okhca.org/tell-us-your-story. aspx and add your story. Oklahomans can apply for SoonerCare online at www.mysoonercare.org. For more information about SoonerCare or any of OHCA's programs, call the SoonerCare Helpline at 800-987-7767 or visit www.okhca.org. The checkup was anything but routine. X-rays showed Brady's heart was very enlarged.

A door hardware company in New Haven, Conn. will pay $39,075 in fines for violating state and federal hazardous waste laws.
According to EPA, the Sargent Manufacturing Company breached hazardous waste laws and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Such laws have been designed to protect both the environment and the public health by promoting the proper management and disposal of hazardous refuse.
During a March 2011 inspection, the EPA discovered that Sargent had violated RCRA by failing to have an adequate hazardous waste training program, not closing containers that held hazardous waste, not marking dates on the containers, not having a proper amount of space between the containers, and not submitting and updated contingency plan to local authorities – all of which are RCRA requirements.
By Sargent not having an acceptable training program, the likelihood of wastes not being managed and disposed of in a proper manner was greatly increased. Also, if there had been any sort of emergency, Sargent personnel may not have been able to accurately coordinate all emergency response measures.
Following the inspection, Sargent took the appropriate measures to bring the facility into full compliance with federal and state waste management laws.

Making The Decision Not To Panic
If you've ever wondered - like I have - if you could keep your shit together during some disaster, like a zombie apocalypse or a 2012 end of the world earthquake/tsunami/volcano/flood scenario, then you'll enjoy where I'm coming from with this little story. After experiencing a few potentially disastrous situations, I've discovered something about myself that I'm kinda proud of, and that I hope will hold true should the disasters in question "scale up."
This past weekend I was at Jekyll Island with the family, just taking a few days away from the city to celebrate Easter and get a much needed rest. Sunday evening I got kid duty, and I decided to take Madeleine, who's just shy of 10, and Eli, who's 5, to play putt putt golf. Eli fucking LOVES putt putt.
We played through a few holes, and somewhere around the 11th, I made the mistake of stepping into Eli's backswing. Now, he's a little guy, and you don't need a lot of swing to make a golf ball putter toward a hole 20 feet away. Still, a golf club can be a formidable bludgeon, and even a little swing from a little guy can hurt. He hit me in the hand, and I jumped back and yelled. Eli was immediately scared because he hurt Daddy, but the pain was only momentary (nothing broken or even bruised - just a "warning" pop), and it was my fault for walking into his stroke, so I told him not to worry because Daddy had made the mistake, not him.
All was well. Then, on the 18th hole, MADELEINE walked into Eli's backswing. She's not as tall as me, so she didn't get hit in the hand - she got clocked in the face.
And here's where it happened.
You would not believe the amount of blood a blow to the face with a golf club will bring forth from a 10-year-old girl. Madeleine immediately started screaming – loud enough to draw a crowd, and loud enough to absolutely terrify her little brother.
Blood flowed through her screams. She held both hands to her face, and both of her palms filled with blood until they overflowed, so that within moments, blood was dropping in small puddles onto the walkway and the golf course. I knelt beside her, and as I worked to calm her and to check her out, blood flowed in rivers down MY hands and arms.
But somewhere in there, just as the fact that my daughter was hurt – potentially very badly - registered in my mind, and just as the blood began to gush, some part of me said to every other part of me: "Being afraid for her will not help her. Being conscious of all that blood will not make it stop. There are logical steps you must follow now as her father, and you must do them all while reassuring her and her brother that everything will be fine. Even if you have to go to the hospital in the next few minutes, you have to follow the steps to that end, and you have to do it calmly."
I made the split second decision not to panic. Instead, I simply knelt beside her, ignored the blood, and looked into her mouth. I told her I needed to check her teeth to make sure they were intact. I touched each one near the place she'd been hit, looking for broken ones or loose ones. Someone brought me a stack of paper towels and I thanked them, then used the towels to wipe away blood and stop the bleeding. Then I looked for the hole which was causing all the blood.
As it turned out, her teeth were fine – she'd simply gashed the inside of her lip.
So there was never any need to panic. In fact, I worried more about Eli blaming himself than I did about Madeleine's injury (I took care of that, too).
Still, even if there had been something worse – if Madeleine HAD shattered her teeth or needed stitches or something like that, I'm pretty sure I would have taken the same calm, logical approach. And this isn't the first time I've had to go into myself and turn on the cool blue logic. I've watched my wife have two grand mal seizures - I simply moved her away from furniture and held her until she was done. I've seen a finger severed (not mine), seen a compound fracture as it happened (again, not me). Through it all, I remained calm. I was the one who called 911 and was able to get the injured person to a hospital. And I'm pretty sure I could do it again and again and again.
I only have two concerns. One is how I'd handle things were I the injured party - although I was pretty calm when I broke my jaw, and that hurt like a motherfucker. My other concern is how being half asleep or drunk might affect my ability to keep it cool.
Ultimately, though, I'm pretty pleased. I know how to keep my head.
Which could come in handy when that hidden meteor crashes into the Earth in December.

That's "B" for a billion, said Morgan County Commissioner Tony Carlson. Those figures came from the Morgan County Economic Development Corp.
The multiplier effect takes into account how employees of dairies spend their money on good and services in other parts of the county, and how dairies spend money on needed supplies and equipment.
Morgan County has 13 dairies. Those dairies employ 375 workers directly, Carlson said.
In addition, the county has seven dairy heifer raising operations to replace cows who no longer produce milk, with their contingents of workers, he said.
Each of these operations need feed, and a significant amount of that feed comes from local growers, who also need equipment, workers and supplies that are bought from stores -- often local stores, Carlson noted. That includes things like farm implements, cars and trucks.
On top of that, Leprino Foods uses the milk to produce mozzarella pizza cheese and other products from the milk it buys locally. Leprino uses 1 million pounds of milk a day and has 275 employees, he said.
The employees of each of these operations buys groceries and goods from local retailers, often buy or rent homes in the area, buy fuel and pay for utilities.
Dairy operations also support local water and electricity suppliers.
In other words, the dairy industry affects just about every sector of the local economy, Carlson said.
"We do a great job of feeding a lot of people," said dairy owner Chris Kraft.
Morgan County has about 25,000 dairy cows at any one time, he said.
As with the other agricultural products, the industry brings money into the county from outside, helping the economy to stay strong, Kraft said.
Leprino alone is a global leader in the dairy protein industry, he said. Not only does the company sell cheese, but it is the largest seller of whey protein in the world.
That makes Morgan County a part of the global economy, Kraft noted.
From the start of the area's network of irrigation ditches, Morgan County was designed as an agricultural production region, dedicated to producing food for the world, he said.
This not only puts retailers to work, but also employs the people necessary for the infrastructure of agriculture, such as welders and builders, K raft said.
Morgan County is "a great place to have a dairy farm," Kraft said.
That is part of the reason dairy owners from other states have moved to Morgan County, said extension agent Marlin Eisenach.
They like the climate, because it does not generally have as many extreme winters compared to other areas, and it does not have a lot of humidity, he said.
Morgan County has had availability of good water, and enough water for the needs of dairies, Eisenach said.
Local growers produce a significant amount of the feed necessary for dairies, although some still has to be brought in given the large numbers of dairy cows, he explained.
Also, markets for milk are nearby with Leprino and the Dairy Farmers of America plant in Fort Morgan, Eisenach said. That means transportation costs are relatively low.
Having dairy heifer replacement operations is also a plus, he said.
All of this makes Morgan County ideal for dairies, Eisenach said.
Residents benefit by jobs at the local operations, with the Leprino factory open 24 hours a day every day, he said.

SOURCE Poarch Band of Creek Indians
WETUMPKA, Ala., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of the media were treated to a pre-opening tour of Wind Creek Wetumpka (WCW), the new luxury casino and hotel slated for a December 17th opening.
Located on the banks of the Coosa River, Wind Creek Wetumpka is the sister property of Wind Creek Atmore, one of only a handful of Alabama resorts to earn a prestigious "AAA Four-Diamond" rating. Both properties are owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and operated by PCI Gaming, the Tribe's gaming enterprise.
"We are thrilled that the casino and restaurants will open on December 17th," said the Property Manager, Cody Williamson. He continued, "The construction was a monumental effort. It took more than 800 workers putting in a total of 1.4 million hours to build the structure we see here today. We used 2,500 tons of steel and more than 18,000 cubic yards of concrete alone in the construction. The scale of Wind Creek Wetumpka and the scope of its economic impact are considerable."
Wind Creek Wetumpka will feature five restaurants, an 85,000 square foot gaming floor with 2,520 machines and several deluxe meeting spaces.
The adjoining luxury hotel with its 283 finely appointed accommodations will open in late January or early February of next year.
Flinto Construction built Wind Creek Wetumpka. The architect was Hnedak Bobo.
About Wind Creek Wetumpka
Wind Creek Resort is a 20-story, 283-room luxury hotel offers the finest in resort amenities, with spacious rooms and 24-hour-a-day room service.
The Poarch Band of Creek Indians are descendants of a segment of the original Creek Nation, which once covered almost all of Alabama and Georgia. The tribe owns gaming properties in Alabama including Wind Creek Casino & Hotel in Atmore, AL, Creek Casino Montgomery in Montgomery, AL as well as multiple racetracks in Alabama and Florida.

LOS ANGELES (KCAL/CBS) - If you don't mind eating while on the "throne" - or actually eating from the bowl - a new restaurant opening this week should be on your travel bucket list.
The Magic Restroom Cafe, which has brought a popular Chinese fad stateside, is scheduled to open Friday.
The restaurant has toilets instead of seats and serves Asian-style dishes on plates shaped like urinals.
"I thought it was a little odd," said Florida resident Marcy Workum. "I think it's a cool gimmick to get people to come in."
Reviews on Yelp were mixed, with most people favoring the novelty of the decor over the quality of the food.
Restaurant owner Gin Han said the staff is tweaking the menu because names of dishes when translated from Chinese to English can seem a bit gross.
"It's maybe a little disgusting for American people," Han said.

The wise elder and the snotty punk
You're no doubt familiar with Winston Churchill's adage that "If you are young, and not liberal, then you don't have a heart. If you are old, and not conservative, then you don't have a brain." Well today, dear listener and reader, I'd like to propose something similar for the world of arts. I've called today's parable "the wise elder and the snotty punk."
The story (hat tip: composer and guest blogger Matthew Whittall) comes from Kyle Gann's PostClassic, one of many excellent blogs to be found at the ArtsJournal website. Gann, a composer, musicologist, writer and educator, has long been an influential figure on the New York classical scene, especially its more experimental "downtown" side. He's also exactly four days older than me, poor fellow. Gann's got strong viewpoints, he states them well, backs them up in word and deed, and while he doesn't go around with a chip on his shoulder, he can stick up for himself. In other words, he's the kind of mature, informed, thoughtful grown-up we might all like to consider ourselves to be.
One cool thing about PostClassic is the insight is provides us musical lay people into the kind of technical stuff composers sweat over. Case in point: this entry about the "Pierrot Ensemble." No, that's not a troupe of street mimes; it's the ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano employed by composer Arnold Schoenberg to back up the solo voice in his epoch-making 1912 masterwork "Pierrot lunaire." A novel combination a hundred years ago, the "Pierrot Ensemble" has now become de rigueur for all composing students, a state of affairs Gann laments for technical and artistic reasons. Not exactly Citizens United or Yankees/Red Sox on the controversy meter, but interesting enough.
Well! Gann's opinion was just too much for one Wiliam Chevdar, whoever he might be. Get a load of young Mr. Chevdar's insults and invective in the comment section of the Pierrot blog, starting here. "Über-patriotic fascist dictator!" "Lay off the hate for a little while, man!" And the unkindest of all, "you never heard of Spectralism!" I know, I know — those may not be fighting words in your neighborhood. But in the inside classical world, they constitute a verbal low blow. How does Gann respond? By remaining cool as a cucumber, refuting the criticisms with a few choice facts, and basically flicking Mr. Chevdar away like a piece of lint. For his expert, effortless put-down, Kyle Gann gets my Addison DeWitt Award, named for the verbally dextrous theater critic portrayed by George Sanders in the film "All About Eve." Let's hope Mr. Chevdar learns a little humility, not to mention a few basic facts, from the exchange.
But I have to say, I feel a bit sorry for the young fellow. For once upon a time, back in the day, I was a snotty punk too. I cared too much, thought I knew all the answers, and didn't mind correcting my elders and, I now recognize, betters. My comeuppance eventually came, as it inevitably must to all snotty punks. But fortunately, mine was much nicer than Chevdar's. I was doing a radio program of early jazz, as I used to do on WFCR, and introduced a set of the great 1926-27 sides by New Orleans piano legend Jelly Roll Morton & His Red Hot Peppers. These are some of the finest jazz recordings ever, including such classics as "Black Bottom Stomp," "Dead Man Blues" and "Grandpa's Spells." Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell the musicians they were making Very Important Music. So, as they no doubt would have in live performance, Jelly and the band preceded some of the songs with short snatches of comic dialogue, thus besmirching these monuments of great art. Or at least I thought so at the time, probably having read some sourpuss critic saying something to that effect. So I opined thusly on the air. And the phone rang.
It was a kindly old gentleman thrilled that someone was playing some of his favorite music. Then he turned his attention to my dismissive comments about the vaudeville hokum of the Red Hot Peppers. "Let me ask you a question," he said. "How old are you?"
Like Kundry's kiss in Act II of Wagner's Parsifal, the gentleman's simple question revealed the Basic Truth of my callow stupidity, and started me on my lifelong path to self-knowledge. Now, I don't mind admitting that I've recently played the Kyle Gann role on a few occasions, and in fact rather relish it. But if I hadn't been Mr. Chevdar's soul brother once upon a time, I probably wouldn't have gotten into classical radio in the first place. So, let me try a rewrite of Churchill's adage that works for the arts: If you're young and not a snotty punk — at least on occasion — you don't care enough. If with age you don't mature into a wise elder, you haven't grown up. Your thoughts?
Since it's Gann's blog, he was able to edit the conversation down to the distorted mess you see today. I can assure you that Mr. Gann was anything but "cool as a cucumber". He handled himself like a bigot and, now I see, a revisionist. My intent was to point out the inconsistencies in Gann's arguments, his lack of verification and his clear bias towards music that resembles his own. In the original, I provided links to back up my criticisms but was completely ignored and belittled. I clearly touched a nerve though because, in the end, he had a full-blown, adult-sized temper tantrum. In fact, if I were him, I wouldn't want it on the web either.
William Chevdar
PS - Being called a "snotty punk" is one thing but hearing Gann called a "wise elder" is just too much.
Took you a while! Believe
Took you a while! Believe me, I know my snits when I read them, having delivered a few in my day. And you launched a beaut in Mr. Gann's direction. But you get to see it your way, and I applaud you for replying, even if belatedly.
Very interesting post John.
Very interesting post John. These are my thoughts. I think that to a certain extent, the Churchill adage is true... but there is another way of looking at it too.
Lately I have been noticing the people I come across in music and other areas of life who tend to remain positive and keep it simple. They won't argue with you at all, instead, they will find something nice to say and listen to what you have to say. And guess what? When the time comes to actually DO SOMETHING, they are incredible. They listen with an open mind and when it comes time to do the work, they have no attachments to ideas simply follow their heart. All this arguing as a snotty punk and defending yourself as a wise elder is all about ego and completely misses the heart of the matter.
Thanks, Joe. That's been my
Thanks, Joe. That's been my experience too, mostly. But the arts, like any small world, can get very contentious. And oy, do the arts have egos! I can say that I've had to reply to my share of strong, sometimes nasty, critics. Doing so in a way that makes your point succinctly, wittily and hopefully, edifyingly is a good skill to cultivate and possess.

New law compensates 'cold case' victims
from Patrick Cronin's article in Seacoast Online:
Rep. Renny Cushing said he saw one shortcoming in the bill signed into law last year establishing for the first time in the state's history a Cold Case Unit assigned to work exclusively on unsolved murder cases.
The Democratic state representative from Hampton said the bill didn't address the needs of surviving victims who may be traumatized by the reopening of an investigation into their loved ones death. That is why he sponsored a bill, which became law three weeks ago, that allows family of cold case homicides to be eligible for victim compensation regardless of the date of the crime.

While the French offensive to flush out Islamists in northern Mali dominated media coverage this week, news from other African nations certainly hasn't stopped.
Here are five other stories you might have missed:
'State funeral' for hundreds of Kenyan lawmakers
Throngs of Kenyans wearing black marched down the streets, coffins perched on their shoulders, crooning altered dirges in a mock funeral for lawmakers.
When the march came to a halt outside parliament offices in downtown Nairobi, hundreds of caskets lay charred, a defiant message against a recent hefty retirement package lawmakers passed for themselves.
The Kenyan president rejected the package, which included a bonus of $110,000 each and a state funeral for lawmakers, an honor reserved for presidents and high achievers.
The mock caskets were a spoof on the state funerals.
Major newspapers in the nation heaped praises on the president and criticized the lawmakers, who had attempted to pass another retirement package in October.
"Africa's big men behaving badly," an editorial in the Daily Nation newspaper screamed.
"Drama as civil society members bury greedy MPs," a story in the Standard read.
Good news for Mubarak
Former President Hosni Mubarak, once a powerful figure in Egyptian politics, will get a new trial after an appeals court tossed out his life sentence.
A judge overturned his conviction for failing to stop the killing of hundreds during the uprising in 2011. He will remain in prison as he awaits his next court date, likely in April.
Compared to the defiant riots that erupted during his trial in June, Egyptians appeared to welcome the news Sunday with shrugged shoulders. During the trial, both sides lunged at one another in court as fiery supporters and foes clashed outside.
The nation has spent the last year mired in protests, prompting the Economist to describe it as a "Dilemocracy."
20 years and over $1B later, U.S. recognizes Somalia
After pouring more than $1 billion in aid to Somalia, the United States officially recognized the nation's government for the first time in more than two decades.
American officials have not recognized it since warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. Clan warlords and militants battled for control, sparking a civil war and mayhem nationwide.
Two years later, militants shot down Black Hawk helicopters and killed American forces attempting to raid a warlord in the capital of Mogadishu.
U.S. applauded Somalia's progress, citing its first democratically-elected government and its successful efforts to push out al Qaeda-linked militants.
"We provided more than $650 million in assistance to the African Union Mission in Somalia, more than $130 million to Somalia's security forces," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. "In the past two years, we've given nearly $360 million in emergency humanitarian assistance and more than $45 million in development-related assistance to help rebuild Somalia's economy. "
Global uncertainty amid Algerian hostage crisis
Algerian forces stormed a gas facility to free foreign hostages without warning other governments, leaving leaders in a series of capitals scrambling to get information on their citizens' fates.
Heavily armed fighters attacked the remote BP facility in the desert this week, holding workers from various nations hostages. Attackers said the raid was a result of the French offensive against Islamist militants in northern Mali.
Captives included Americans, Japanese and Britons.

The Gulf reefs are finally going in about four months after the sound-side reefs were installed. Mike Sandler, with the Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary Committee, said there will be 30 reef structures with that will have discs on them.
The reefs will be at least six feet under the water and will not be level like the reefs in the sound. According to Sandler, that's because the Gulf bed is sloped whereas the south bed is level.
"On a clear day, you should be able to see them," said Sandler.
If all goes well and there are no mishaps, and the weather remains clear, the reefs' installation could be completed as soon as tomorrow, Sept. 21.
