Economy Rolls Along, Despite Cuts and Taxes
Analysts expected that a federal austerity plan would be a drag on growth, but most recent indicators show the economy is strengthening.
"In the early hours of Saturday morning, after 10 hours of talks, finance
ministers from euro area countries, the International Monetary Fund and
the European Central Bank agreed on terms that include a one-time tax
of 9.9 percent on Cypriot bank deposits of more than $130,000, or
100,000 euros, and a tax of 6.75 percent on smaller deposits, European
Union officials said.
“It’s not a pleasant outcome especially for the people involved,”
Michalis Sarris, the Cypriot finance minister, told reporters. “But we
believe it is something that, compared with other possible outcomes, is
the least onerous,” he said."

China: Dead Pigs in River Near 6,000
The number of dead pigs found floating in a river flowing into Shanghai has reached nearly 6,000."Authorities in Shanghai, China’s financial hub, pulled a further 1,420 dead pigs today and yesterday from the Huangpu river, bringing the total number of carcasses to close to 9,000.
The municipal government said two-thirds are piglets, according to statements on its official microblog. Water quality in the city is tested as normal, the government said.
Zhao Shumei, vice mayor of Jiaxing, where the pigs are reportedly from, said the city retrieved 3,601 dead pigs from fields and rivers last week and it is inconclusive that all the pigs were from Jiaxing, according to a report on the People’s Daily’s website people.com.cn."
