Caterpillar is down today as investors grow more worried about the bull market. Source: Caterpillar.
It took just a couple days for the mood on Wall Street to change dramatically, with excitement about new record highs for several market benchmarks giving way to fears about the sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery in the face of challenging conditions abroad. As of 11:55 a.m. EST, the Dow Jones Industrials were down 108 points, adding to yesterday's 85-point drop. Contributing to the gloomy mood were slightly weaker new private-sector job figures than investors had expected, along with further crude-oil price drops as inventory levels climbed.Caterpillar led the Dow's downward trend, while Wynn Resorts was among the weakest performers in the Nasdaq 100 index.
Caterpillar's 2% loss likely came from its exposure to the commodities markets. The heavy-equipment maker has increasingly relied on customers in the energy and mining industries to drive growth, yet the huge drop in oil prices has led many oil and gas exploration and production companies to rein in capital spending until the market stabilizes. With many potential customers expected to cut oil and gas production, their need for more equipment could stay low for the foreseeable future, and that could weigh further on Caterpillar's prospects. Even as the U.S. construction industry looks more promising, difficult conditions abroad suggest Caterpillar might have to wait a long time before it once again enjoys the international growth that helped send the stock to all-time highs in 2011.

Meanwhile, Wynn Resorts' stock dropped 2.5% as investors increasingly worry about a combination of macroeconomic and company-specific issues. On one hand, revenue in the casino company's key market of Macau plunged by almost half in February, with even the Chinese New Year holiday failing to bolster figures. Given Wynn's exposure to Macau, investors worry that the gaming market in the Chinese special administrative region could be in for even tougher times. Wynn and some of its competitors still have expansion projects under way in the Asian gaming capital that could exacerbate problems in coming years if Macau doesn't rebound. Meanwhile, CEO Steve Wynn faces a battle over whether his ex-wife should retain her seat on the company's board of directors. Wynn Resorts does not intend to renominate Elaine Wynn to the board, but she reportedly plans to nominate herself. With Wynn's annual meeting scheduled for April 24, it could be weeks before the dispute is resolved.
With the stock market posting strong gains in February, a slight pullback isn't yet cause for concern. But with investors already having waited for years for a significant correction in the 6-year-old bull market, you're likely to see nervousness continue over any potential reversal in the market's gains.

Write your name, address, telephone number, organization represented (if any); 2) name of the proposal (Beaver Creek Resort — McCoy Park Terrain Development); and 3) specific facts and supporting reasons for consideration.
MINTURN — Comments were mostly favorable toward Beaver Creek’s McCoy Park Terrain Development plan at a U.S. Forest Service open house on Wednesday, May 9.
The plan aims to add 250 acres of skiable beginner terrain to the McCoy Park area of Beaver Creek, with two chairlifts, some snowmaking operations, a ski patrol service building and a new service road to the area near the top of the Strawberry Park Express lift at the resort’s southern boundary.
Nate Goldberg, Product Manager of the Nordic Sports Center at Beaver Creek, was among those in attendance in favor of the project. Goldberg knows the park well from working there.
“I think the plan re-imagines how to get people to the premier parts of the park,” Goldberg said.
Those premier areas, as described by Goldberg, are the higher-elevation, flatter terrain, which isn’t so easy to access for families on snowshoes. Those areas, under the new plan, would be serviced by chairlifts.
Goldberg said in his view, a “cooperative, collaborative Nordic-alpine area” would be best for McCoy Park.
Sally Gunter with Vail Resorts said that’s exactly what Beaver Creek has in mind.
District Ranger Aaron Mayville said he talked to about 30 people at the Wednesday, May 9, open house.
Mayville said those who showed concern were users of the park themselves.
The project is currently in the initial scoping period, where comments are accepted prior to a full environmental assessment of its potential impacts.
The comments will likely take several weeks to go through, but the analysis itself may go quicker than usual due to the fact that a good bit of study on McCoy Park has already taken place.
“We’ll use the summer and the early fall to write the analysis report, then hopefully in the fall we’ll have a decision,” Mayville said.
The draft decision will be followed by an objection period, where people who have already commented on the project during the current scoping period can object. After the objection period, a final decision will be issued from the Forest Service.
For the Forest Service, the open house was an unrequired addition to scoping period.
Unrequired, but not unnecessary, said Mayville.
Comments on the project will be accepted through Tuesday, May 29, on http://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public//CommentInput? Project=52650. Comments can also be mailed in to Scott Fitzwilliams, Forest Supervisor, c/o Max Forgensi, Mountain Sports Permit Administrator, White River National Forest P.O. Box 190, Minturn, CO, 81645.
Persons commenting should include: 1) name, address, telephone number, organization represented (if any); 2) name of the proposal on which the comment is being submitted (Beaver Creek Resort — McCoy Park Terrain Development); and 3) specific facts and supporting reasons for consideration. Only those who submit timely and specific written comments will have eligibility to file an objection to the project.
This story was corrected to reflect that Nate Goldberg is a current employee of the Beaver Creek Nordic Center. Goldberg is a former employee of the Beaver Creek hiking center and will be working out of Vail this summer.

Police have ruled out foul play concerning the death of a South African woman who fell from her 14th-floor apartment, in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, last November.
DUBAI // Police have ruled out foul play in the death of a South African woman who fell from a Dubai skyscraper last November.
Laura Vanessa Nunes, 39, who was in the country on a tourist visa while she sought employment, is believed to have jumped from her 14th-floor apartment, in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, last November, after the end of a relationship, contrary to reports that she fell from the Burj Khalifa.
“The woman who jumped suffered from emotional instability that led her to make the decision to take her life,” said Maj Gen Khalil Al Mansouri, assistant to the Dubai Police chief in Criminal Investigation Affairs.
The woman’s body was repatriated to her home country after the investigation concluded.
“This was a very unfortunate incident, and such cases are rare in the emirate,” said Maj Gen Al Mansouri.
Are Bad Reviews Turning Your Job Candidates Away?
As an employer with open positions to fill, your goal should be to make the idea of working for your company as appealing as possible. As such, you might sink a fair amount of time into writing a compelling ad, developing an attractive job description, and establishing a salary range that's more than competitive. But if you've doing all of that and still aren't getting many (quality) takers, it could be because of one single factor: bad reviews.
These days, there are a number of job sites that allow employees to post anonymous reviews about the companies they work for. These reviews, in turn, give potential candidates strong insight that can inform their decisions on accepting offers. In fact, many job seekers rely on those reviews in the absence of having a contact at the firms they're looking to work at. But if your company reviews are predominantly negative, that's a good way to send candidates running.
In fact, in a recent survey by Jobvite, 22% of job candidates pre-emptively rejected a prospective employer after reading negative reviews online. And it makes sense. Why would anyone want to work for a company whose employees are overwhelmingly miserable?
If you're looking to attract talent, it pays to read your own company's reviews and see what employees are saying. And then take steps to address those issues before you not only lose more prospective candidates, but also internal folks as well.
Many employees refrain from complaining to their managers because they don't want to come off as whiny or unappreciative. But that doesn't mean they're satisfied, either. In fact, more than half of Americans today identify as being unhappy at work, and while that often boils down to lackluster compensation and persistent pressure, for many, it's about not feeling respected or valued.
Since there are a host of reasons why your employees might feel dissatisfied with their working conditions, it pays to take the time to read what they're saying. Maybe a lot of folks feel that the demands of your management team are unreasonable. Maybe they're sick of working long hours, constantly logging on at night, and struggling to achieve a decent work-life balance.
Or maybe your management team's expectations are practical, but there are other issues at play. It could be that your benefits stink, or that there's no upward mobility for the majority of workers who end up employed at your company. The possibilities are many, so comb through those reviews, determine what's irking your workers the most, and take steps to improve in those areas.
For example, if employees are being pressured to work long hours on a consistent basis, try investing in technology that makes them more efficient so they're not quite as chained to their desks. Or, rework your budget to increase your head count and get more hands on deck.
If your workers aren't happy with their benefits, aim to do better. Research different health insurance plans and 401(k)s, and pledge to be less stingy with your paid time off.
Like it or not, it's easy enough for job candidates to gain insight as to what it means to work for your company, and if the impression they're getting is a negative one, they're going to take their talent elsewhere. So don't let that happen. Read those reviews and pledge to address the concerns they unearth. It's a great way to not only attract strong applicants, but also prevent your most valued workers from jumping ship.

You know, I didn't think about framerate or resolution once when I got to play The Order 1886 yesterday. What I did think was that it felt like playing through an old Cinemascope movie. With at least one very cool signature weapon.
I played through the Inequalities chapter that's been previously shown, huddling behind cover and blasting away at human enemies across the streets of an alternate-reality London. Shooters live and die by the ingenuity of their weapon design and The Order's thermite rifle was the first thing to make me think that there might be some spark to the thought going into the game. It's a dual-action firearm that fires a long-range burst of combustible thermite particles that can be set aflame by a flare.
So, as two or three enemies scrambled on a roof across the street, I could fire the thermite cloud first and then shoot the flare to instantly explode the air around them. Follow-up clouds keep the fire going, too. Players can also fire the complementary payloads in a different order, going flare first and thermite next for a delayed reaction. I also used a pistol during a sequence where I had to drag a fallen friendly to safety but didn't note anything remarkable about the gun during my brief time with it.
Later on in the demo, I used the game's Blacksight power to slow down time and down enemies with deadly precision. A corollary of drinking a mysterious fluid called Blackwater, the ability was reminiscent of the Deadeye mechanic in Red Dead Redemption.
Much has been made of the framerate for Ready At Dawn's upcoming PS4 exclusive, which is 30 frames per second. The game's also going to live inside a 1920x900 window on-screen, instead of the more common 1920x1080 resoluton, to better approximate a cinematic experience.
Those choices about how to present the game have been made in the service of creating a specific effect and I can say that The Order does generate a very specific Victorian-era, everyone-has-blacklung mood. The world looks bleak and dank but is also sharply detailed and impressively lit. The steampunk detailing on the gear doesn't jump out as overly egregious–it's not gears everywhere from what I can remember—but does underscore the idea that technological development took a very different path in the game's fictional universe.
The demo I played was short, ending with a cliffhanger encounter with a masked enemy using the same thermite weaponry that the game's protagonists use. Despite the quickness of my first taste of The Order, my level of curiosity about the game definitely increased. It feels like the 2015 game has a clear vision that it's trying to execute. We'll see how well it does that when it hits PS4 next February.

Enterprise resident Wise J. Hardin received approval from the county Planning and Land Development Commission Tuesday to build a contract post office at Court Street and DeBary Avenue.
The county council will make a final decision at its April 9 meeting.
Hardin, who has operated the contract station since December, said he plans to build on the same site where his aunt, Sarah Burns, operated a post office 25 years ago. The post office is now operating out of a small annex attached to the home of the Rev. Raymond Kennedy on DeBary Avenue. Kennedy was the former contractor for the postal service.
The Corporation of St. George recently hosted their New Year’s Eve event, ringing in 2017 with a number of forms of entertainment on hand for the public to enjoy.
The MC for the event was Nadanja, with additional entertainment provided by Devli’s Isle Audio Band, led by Jesse Seymour, and Black Lion, along with food and toy vendors, fun castles, and more.
The crowd started building with music being played by Black Lion until Devli’s Isle Audio Band took to the stage at 9.00pm. The band played through to midnight with a couple breaks in between filled with music from the DJ. MC Nadanja entertained the crowd, pulling some participants on stage for dances before counting down the clock welcoming in 2017 with the onion drop.
A spectacular fireworks display followed, to the crowd’s delight. Most attendees continued to enjoy the festivities after the fireworks, socializing while the DJ kept the party going.

RUSS SAYS: Hey, Katy Perry…You Are Sad And Childish To Call A Former Crush Gay!
Katy Perry is supposed to be a role model, so she shouldn’t have dedicated her single “Ur So Gay” to her former crush. I thought she was bigger than this!
Katy Perry may have kissed a girl and liked it, but the “California Gurls” singer needs to realize that she is 25-years-old and not an immature high school student anymore! During a surprise concert at her alma mater, Dos Pueblos High School, in Santa Barbara, Calif. Sept. 15, Katy shocked the teenage audience with a hate-filled message about her former high school crush. Talk about a horrible idea.
No wonder your album sales aren’t as good as expected…you alienate a great portion of your own fans.
Overall, Israeli officials consider international reporting still balanced as operation continues.
While world media coverage of the fighting in Gaza is generally deemed by Israeli officials to be fair, the Foreign Ministry expressed anger on Wednesday at the media's focus on foreign journalists' demands to be allowed into the Strip to witness the fighting firsthand. "News reports from Gaza haven't stopped flowing for a minute, both in print and in visuals, so the claim that we're trying to hide something is contradicted by the evidence on every television screen," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor. Foreign journalists have been blocked from entering Gaza since November. The Foreign Press Association filed a complaint last week to the High Court of Justice, which ruled that the government had to allow journalists to enter if conditions permitted. Foreign journalists understood the ruling as a court order to allow them into Gaza, while the IDF has argued that the escalation of fighting in the form of a ground offensive has created a new, more dangerous situation near the border crossings that gives the army the discretion not to open them. "Why isn't the international media trying its luck with Egypt?" Palmor wondered. Egypt shares a border with Gaza on the Strip's southern side. "Instead they report on the Israeli cordon and not the Egyptian one. Both countries have the same interest in the same policy - Hamas is equally dangerous to Israel, to Egypt and to the Palestinian Authority." (The IDF Spokesman's Unit released a statement on Wednesday saying that the army had permitted the entry of a limited embed press pool into the Gaza Strip and would be distributing footage from this pool.) Foreign correspondents have taken issue with Israel's reasons for closing the Strip to them, saying the IDF was being untruthful when it claimed conditions were too dangerous to open the crossings. "If conditions permitted opening [the crossings] for five hours last Friday to let out 300 foreign nationals, what was the problem with stamping our passports and letting us in?" asked New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner. The reality, say many journalists, is that Israel does not trust foreign journalists to report objectively. Several journalists who spoke to The Jerusalem Post mentioned last week's statement by Government Press Office director Danny Seaman that foreign correspondents would use their time in Gaza to report Hamas propaganda unchallenged, conferring on it the respectability of a foreign news report. According to the correspondents, Israel's behavior is self-defeating, because their reporting could balance the images now coming out of Gaza by reporting more information than Hamas is releasing. "My last visit in Gaza was on November 2 and 3. I'm not saying the place is a Jeffersonian democracy, but it's not true that foreign journalists are not free to function, that they are somehow slaves of Hamas ideology. It's simply false," said Bronner. Yet, regardless of the justice of the IDF's blockade on foreign media entry, it was not appropriate for the media to turn the issue into such a major part of its coverage of the crisis, said analyst and former Middle East correspondent for the British Sunday Telegraph Tom Gross. Major international outlets such as the BBC, CNN and Sky News have started most reports on Gaza in recent days by stating that Israel has not given their correspondents access to Gaza, he noted. According to Gross, "the media are protesting too much. One British TV correspondent even compared Israel to the Burmese junta. They might ask themselves why they are not complaining, for example, about the difficulties of reporting from Afghanistan, where there are tens of thousands of American, British, French and other troops, and a very high civilian death toll." There is more coverage just of Israel's cordon than of entire international crises elsewhere, Gross added. "Viewers might wonder why the media are so obsessed with everything and anything to do with Israel but don't seem interested in covering other conflicts, like the assault by the Sri Lankan military on the Tamil minority in recent days, or the massacre of 500 villagers, including aid workers, some of whom were set on fire in Congo last week," he said. Journalists should expect "some limits imposed in wartime. This isn't a reality TV show or an episode of Big Brother. In any case, this hasn't stopped international networks showing near round-the-clock reports and footage by their local Palestinian correspondents in Gaza," said Gross. The closure has led to real anger on the part of the foreign media. "If Israel is the leading democracy in the region and has a system of justice to which its military and political authorities are responsible, why on earth aren't they allowing journalists to do their job?" asked Aidan White, secretary-general of the Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists. "It's clear the political and military leadership is seeking to control the media message coming out of the conflict." According to White, "there's strong criticism in Israel of the Arab reports coming out of Gaza, which are dismissed as propagandistic. But you only get out of that trap by ensuring as much information coming out as possible. More information will always be closer to the truth than less." Not so, said Prof. Richard Landes, who researches media narratives. Already, he charged, the Western media are showing they are "complying with the image [coming out of Gaza], which is governed by Hamas." As examples, Landes cited the reports of a humanitarian crisis in Gazan hospitals. "The Egyptian border right now is packed with doctors and tons of medical supplies that Hamas is refusing to let in. This is mentioned briefly, but then the report switches to a Hamas representative saying they don't have medical supplies," he said. According to Landes, "the framing story is that the Israeli Goliath is pummeling the poor Palestinian David. Anything that doesn't fit this story, like the medical supplies on the Egyptian border or the shooting of Fatah [activists] by Hamas [gunmen], isn't getting out. It's inexcusable for the media to repeat Palestinian claims as fact." Nor does Israel feel the need to respond to the complaints of the foreign media. The Post has learned that Israeli officials continue to be satisfied with the current coverage of the conflict. "It is obvious that the army is still operating according to its original plan, the international community is still giving us the space to conduct the campaign, and our hasbara efforts are doing very well," said former ambassador to the UN Dan Gillerman, who has been given an official spokesman role for the Gaza offensive. Meanwhile, non-official observers of the coverage argue the international media has not done enough to stay objective in the conflict. For example, the Israeli watchdog group NGO Monitor has noted that one of the foreign media's favorite Gaza-based interviewees, Norwegian physician Mads Gilbert, is a man with an extremist political past. Gilbert has been quoted widely, including in a Times of London article where he told friends by SMS, "We are wading in death, blood and amputees. Many children. A pregnant woman. I have never experienced anything so terrible." Gilbert also used a BBC interview from Gaza's Shifa Hospital to cite casualty statistics that he said proved the IDF was deliberately targeting civilians. According to NGO Monitor, however, Gilbert's past is indicative of "ideological extremism," such as when he expressed support for the September 11 attacks on the United States in a 2001 interview in Norway's Dagbladet newspaper. In the interview, he argued that "the oppressed also have a moral right to attack the USA with any weapon they can come up with," adding specifically that he supported the terror attack "within the context which I have mentioned." Gilbert was also a candidate for local government in 2007 for the Norwegian Red Party, an outgrowth of the radical Norwegian Workers' Communist Party. An Israeli government official also told the Post that "there is no way [Gilbert] could have personal access to the kind of statistics he cited. He got them from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas. That raises the question: To what extent is he a willing or unwilling mouthpiece for Hamas?" The official protested that media outlets were routinely "using European aid workers as ostensibly objective witnesses. It smells like a setup when they talk about all the casualties being civilian." Another example is the France 2 television broadcast of a false report showing dead toddlers allegedly killed in the Gaza fighting. The amateur video of the dead toddlers being laid out on a white sheet was actually shot after an accidental explosion of a Hamas ammunition truck on parade in Gaza in September 2005. France 2, which apologized Monday for the erroneous report, was also the network that broadcast, unchecked, a September 2000 report of the IDF shooting death of 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Dura. That report, too, which relied entirely on Palestinian sources, has been questioned, with a French court ruling the concern over its veracity was legitimate. Etienne Leenhardt, the joint director responsible for investigative reports at France 2, apologized to the Le Post news blogger site, which caught the false report, for "an error on our part." "The person who prepared the topic went too fast," he said. "It reminds us that we must be very attentive on verifying sources." JTA contributed to this report.
Editor’s note: The Brooklyn Paper’s esteemed editor in chief Vince DiMiceli, who usually edits the world’s best Cyclones coverage, is on vacation, and deputy editor Nathan Tempey knows only slightly more than nothing about America’s pastime. Sure, he can tell a home run when he sees one, but mention a passed ball or a can of corn to him and you’ll get a blank stare. So bear with us as we weather this trying time, and let Tempey know what he is getting wrong in the comments.
That was the message the Aberdeen Ironbirds sent loud and dismayingly clear to the Cyclones at Saturday’s sold-out “Salute to Seinfeld Night” game, a bloodbath that marked the Clones’ fifth straight loss.
Pitching is almost never the problem for the Cyclones, but last night proved it can be. Casey Meisner made it through three and a third innings and gave up nine hits and a whopping nine runs. Juan Urbina came in to relieve Meisner in the fourth, and the Ironbirds promptly tacked on seven runs that inning, and another five in the fifth.
Batting has been a persistent weakness of the Mini-Mets, and last night was no exception, as the team’s sluggers managed only seven hits. The only two Clone runs came in the fifth and sixth innings when a series of walks loaded the bases and a single by Dimas Ponce scored Jeff Diehl. The second run crossed the plate when a double by Jeff Diehl allowed Michael Katz to score.
The Cyclones also committed five errors that allowed seven unearned Ironbird goals.
The Cyclones look to avoid a sweep this afternoon in the final game of the series, a 1 pm makeup game at MCU Park.
