The following is the google translated text of the Huffpo.jp story our nipponese brethren are linking to here:
>Oil production of Kuwait, according to OPEC is so has been reduced from 3.12 million barrels per day to 110 million barrels / day. Oil production of Kuwait state-owned upstream company, KOC (Kuwait Oil Company) has done.
>By the way, we share that Kuwait occupies the crude oil production of the world is 3.6% at the time of 2014, was the world's seventh place.
>Also refinery output of Kuwait has been reduced from the usual 93 million barrels / day to 520,000 barrels / day. Petroleum refining of Kuwait is doing state-owned downstream companies, KNPC (Kuwait National Petroleum Company) is.
>For KOC and KNPC maintenance of production calling the veteran retired, as well as the refinery is, but we try to prevent that to stop, operation of oil production and refinery which require high skills, to continue operations I think that's pretty difficult.
>In addition many of the oil-producing countries are facing in the same, or more of the financial crisis in Kuwait is facing, truncated measures, such as the country is laid out has been advocated must be introduced in other countries.
>Then stop of oil production such as this is, probably the scenario that may occur in other countries.

>Gov. Gary Herbert signed a resolution the state Legislature unanimously passed earlier this year calling for education, prevention, research and policy changes to address the pornography "epidemic."
>"We realize this is a bold assertion," the governor said, acknowledging some would disagree that it has become a health crisis. "It is, in fact, the full-fledged truth."
Meanwhile, Utah has the highest rate of people who pay for porn.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamilton's face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday.
Lew announced last summer that he was considering redesigning the $10 bill to include the portrait of a woman. The decision to make the historic change at the expense of Hamilton drew angry rebukes from fans of the former Treasury Secretary. The pro-Hamilton movement gained steam after the smash success of the hip-hop Broadway musical about his life this year.
Those pressures led Lew to determine that Hamilton should remain on the front of the bill. Instead, a mural-style depiction of the women's suffrage movement -- including images of leaders such as Susan B. Anthony -- will be featured on the back of the bill.
A Treasury spokesman declined to comment on the pending changes. But Lew hinted that a decision could come this week.
"When we started this conversation not quite a year ago, it wasn't clear to me that millions of Americans were going to weigh in with their ideas," he told CNBC. "We're not just talking about one bill. We're talking about the $5, the $10, and the $20. We're not just talking about one picture on one bill. We're talking about using the front and the back of the bill to tell an exciting set of stories."

Along those lines, Lew also plans to announce this week that Andrew Jackson -- a less beloved former president whose face graces the front of the $20 bill -- will be removed in favor of a female representing the struggle for racial equality, according to the government source.
That decision would place a female on one of the most widely circulated bills in the world. But the historic change placing a female on the front of the $20 note won't come for more than a decade, the source said, since the process for changing the design of that note is still in the early stages.
"The soonest that a new $20 note will be issued is 2030," the source said, citing a lengthy process convened by the Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence steering committee, which includes representatives from the U.S. Secret Service, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve.
That process isn't likely to be sped up by the Federal Reserve, which issues the currency, given the work that goes into designing secure technology to thwart counterfeiters.
"The blue security ribbon on the $100 note took over 15 years to develop," the source said. "This level of technology is why our counterfeiting remains at less than .01% of currency in circulation. We should not expedite the issuance of any currency for political purposes."
Future Treasury Secretaries -- of which there will be several -- could reverse or alter the decision regarding the $20, making Lew's announcement far less of a clear-cut victory for the movement pushing to place a woman on American currency.
The $5 bill will retain Abraham Lincoln on the front, with plans to change the back to include a mural of prominent activities that have taken place at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
>>
The idea of including women in a mural on the back of a bill has been called into question.
"It will take a microscope to see who those individuals are, and we'll be left with another decade or more of woefully inadequate representation of women and their worth," wrote the group Women on 20s in an open letter to Lew, published by Time.
"Nobody looks at the back of the bill, and that's not likely to change," the group wrote. "A vignette without a woman's portrait on the front of the bill (even if she must share with Hamilton) will be seen as a token gesture and an affront to Americans of all ages who are expecting you to reveal your choice of a singular woman based on their input. As a friend of ours put it, relegating women to the back of the bill is akin to sending them to the back of the bus. The Rosa Parks analogies are inevitable."

In a shocking tale, a Minnesota man is charged with wheeling his possibly dead 90-year-old mother into a bank just to raid her account!
David Vanzo moved in with mom Caryl in 2007, and eventually started running her financial affairs.
On his trip to the bank, employees told investigators Caryl was slumped over and dragging her feet when the suspect pushed her wheelchair out the door after withdrawing $850.
She “did not move” and they “couldn’t tell if she was breathing.”
The cab driver who took Vanzo and Caryl to the bank said he drove him to a Buffalo Wild Wings after dropping off Caryl at the house!
Vanzo, 57, later was arrested in California for failing to provide adequate care for her — and accused of stealing $260,000 from her accounts!
According to charges, he let her die of dehydration, malnutrition and neglect. Cops said the home was covered in trash and reeked of urine and feces.
The big mystery is whether Caryl was already dead when her sinister son took her to the bank. The medical examiner said she died four to six hours before police arrived, and Vanzo was at the bank six hours earlier!

This is just sick.
Really, this guy either Weekend at Bernie'sed his mother to get cash or took her out to get cash while she was about to die of dehydration.
It's hard to say what is worse.
I should also note that i never thought that I would ever use "Weekend at Bernie's" as a verb when talking about something that actually happend.

>Kelsey McMurtry was arrested in Nashville after leaving her 13-month-old child locked in a blisteringly-hot car for 30 minutes while she auditioned to be a stripper in a club.
>The 24-year-old, who works as a bikini model and MMA ring girl, was at Deja Vu strip club on Thursday to audition for a dancing job. She left her daughter in a car outside the club under the supervision of 19-year-old Summer Taylor, according to WKRN Nashville.
>Police were alerted to the unattended girl after witnesses raised the alarm. McMurtry was brought out of the club to open the car.
>The arresting officer said the windows were fully rolled up and the girl was sweating profusely into a heavy jacket. The warrant details the temperature as having been 72 degrees Fahrenheit but it was estimated to have been 100 degrees inside the car. The young girl was taken to a hospital for care and is now with child services.
>Taylor told police she intermittently left the child unsupervised so as to see McMurtry's audition, never being away for more than a few minutes, but witnesses told police she had been left unattended for 30 minutes.
>Both McMurtry and Taylor were arrested and charged with child neglect. McMurtry was also charged with criminal impersonation after giving police a false identity. She is being held on a $40,000 bond and both are due in court on April 18.

lots of bad things happen every day. Only so many things can be reported on.
If you don't have stats to show there is an actual crime wave going on (victim surveys, crime surveys, police stats, etc.) there isn't a cover up. There are just other bad things that made it on to the news and these bad things didn't.

I don't get it. Why are people abroad in danger because of that new law? And why would it be bad if the Saudis sold some of the US stuff they own? If it's rightfully theirs - they can do it with whatever they want. And the new owners cannot be worse than the Saudis. And who is that aznqtmilf in the green dress?

Selling off those assets is a big deal and would more seriously damage the Kingdom than the US. Few outside the country expect they would actually do it. The point in making the threat is domestic approval.
Obama has promised to release the documents (a section of the 9/11 commission report) for years. He can still do it. I have no idea what to expect, but the more threats like this one the more I suspect the worst from the Saudis.

>WASHINGTON — President Obama on Friday announced his support for opening the market for cable set-top boxes, singling out the devices in millions of homes as a clunky and outdated symbol of corporate power over consumers as he introduced a broad federal effort to increase competition.
>In an unusual step, Mr. Obama weighed in personally on a pending proposal at the Federal Communications Commission, having his administration file comments that applauded the effort to loosen cable companies’ grip on the boxes and endorsing the move in an interview.
>He said it was one example of the kinds of actions government agencies should take in response to an executive order he signed on Friday calling for proposals for administrative action to promote competition and better protect consumers.
>“The cable or satellite box is just one example of an area where, because it’s been tied to the provider and you rent it, and consumers spend billions of dollars on it every single year, there hasn’t been much innovation,” Mr. Obama told Yahoo Finance in an interview taped on Thursday. “Our private sector thrives, and innovation is the hallmark of the United States — that’s our big comparative advantage with other countries — but it starts to become less effective, and reduces both what consumers get and the kind of innovation we generate, if we get closed systems or if people are gaming the system.”
>The announcements are the latest moves by Mr. Obama to push back against the forces of consolidation and monopoly, and to shift power away from large corporations in an array of industries.
