READ MORE: Wal-Mart CEO Bill Simon expects inflation - USATODAY.com: "Along with steep increases in raw material costs, John Long, a retail strategist at Kurt Salmon, says labor costs in China and fuel costs for transportation are weighing heavily on retailers. He predicts prices will start increasing at all retailers in June.
'Every single retailer has and is paying more for the items they sell, and retailers will be passing some of these costs along,' Long says. 'Except for fuel costs, U.S. consumers haven't seen much in the way of inflation for almost a decade, so a broad-based increase in prices will be unprecedented in recent memory.'"

Banking—$5 Fees May Be Coming to an ATM Near You - CNBC
Banking—$5 Fees May Be Coming to an ATM Near You - CNBC: "Ridout said the banks are exchanging in political brinksmanship by using the threat of higher ATM fees to 'encourage' pressure on the Federal Reserve to 'tamp down what this interchange cap is going to be.' The Fed issued draft interchange fee rules in December.
Ridout said no one is forcing the banks to charge higher ATM fees, and consumers have other choices if they don't want to pay them."

The Illuminati provide mortal bodies for various demons in exchange for the powers that these evil spirits purportedly provide. Using various techniques, they brutally traumatize their offspring while still in the mother's womb in order to train the unborn child to 'dissociate', or mentally separate from the traumatic experience."

No surveillance without oversight | Jay Stanley | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: "The FBI recently announced that its Next Generation Identification System (NGIS) has 'reached its initial operating capacity'. This vast new biometrics project, for which Lockheed Martin won a $1bn contract in 2008, encompasses not only fingerprints but also, possibly, such biometrics as iris scans, face recognition, bodily scars, marks and tattoos.
Such a system raises a number of concerns from a civil liberties perspective. Many types of biometrics are of particular concern because they allow individuals to be tracked secretly and at a distance. For instance, facial recognition may allow a person to be tracked by various CCTV cameras across a city. Worse, in the future, this may be automated and done by computers."

READ MORE: Vehicle tries to enter Fukushima Daiichi plant, breaks into Daini plant | Kyodo News: "A vehicle of what appears to be right-wing campaigners tried to enter the radiation-leaking Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and then broke through the gate of the nearby Fukushima Daini power plant Thursday, the government's nuclear safety agency said.
The driver of the vehicle was later seized by police, and the agency said it ordered Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the two plants in Fukushima Prefecture, to take all measures to ensure security especially from the viewpoint of nuclear material protection.
The purpose of the intrusion remains unknown. The agency said the vehicle and people inside it need to undergo a radiation decontamination process"

Which is perhaps not totally surprising since this marks the network's ninth straight year as the number one channel in cable.
That is not to say it's all rainbows and unicorns. (Or cupcakes and caliphates.) All of Fox's top shows posted double digit losses year over year."
