As stated in Semenax.com, this usual

Indonesian exports probably bounced back in March, after dropping slightly in February, helped by stronger oil and gas prices, economists said. Exports stood at $10.53 billion in February, down 5 percent from the all-time high of $11.09 billion hit in January, but were up 28.5 percent from a year before. Eight out of 10 economists polled by Thomson Financial are expecting exports in March to come in between $10.66 billion and $11.62 billion. Two economists expect lower exports in the month of between $10.36 billion to $10.48 billion compared to February. "External demand especially from the United States remained strong in March," said Damhuri Nasution, an economist with Danareksa Research Institute. He said the slowdown in external demand was not as fast as people may have feared.

Democrats are pushing for tighter regulation on hedge funds and fund managers much similar to the types of regulations that commercial banks have had for several years. The new regulations could bring new requirements such as requiring higher cash reserves in order to deal with unexpected losses. They are pushing towards giving the Federal Reserve more power over the financial markets allowing them to regulate financial institutions when necessary. The moves come just after Bear Stearns collapsed due to massive losses related to the housing and credit crises.

Hannaford supermarkets has been alerting their customers that there has been a data breach of credit card and debit card numbers. The statement that they’ve released made an emphatic point to let the public know that the information breach concerns those numbers alone, and does not extend to other personal information such as names and addresses, which Hannaford does not collect. And good for them, too: personal data collection and retention was one of the root problems following the TJX data breach a little over a year ago.
Hannaford has also pointed out that they’re using the latest encryption protocols which are in compliance with PCI. In fact, they were certified as PCI compliant last year and recertified just this past February. However, 4.2 million
