| Analysis: Alternate growth gauge points to more U.S. job gains Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An alternate measure of the health of the U.S. economy suggests the current pace of job growth can be sustained at least through the rest of the year. A dramatic fall in the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent last August to 8.5 percent by year end despite sluggish overall growth had puzzled analysts. But data last Friday on this alternate growth gauge showed more strength in the economy late last year than was captured in gross domestic product, the conventional measure of growth. GDP expanded at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the third quarter and by 3. ... |

| One-fifth of U.S. adults read e-books as market booms: survey Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One in five American adults read an electronic book in the last year, as gift-giving sped the shift away from the printed page, a Pew Research Center survey showed on Wednesday. In a sweeping survey of e-books' impact on reading habits, the Pew report said that four times more U.S. readers, or 15 percent, were reading e-books on a typical day now compared with less than two years ago. But when it comes to reading in bed, the verdict is split. Forty-five percent of those surveyed preferred e-books and 43 percent gave the nod to old-fashioned print. ... |
| Hacker claims breach of Chinese defense contractor Posted: (Reuters) - A hacker has posted thousands of internal documents he says he obtained by breaking into the network of a Chinese company with defense contracts, an unusual extension of the phenomenon of activist hacking into the world's most populous country. The hacker, who uses the name Hardcore Charlie and said he was a friend of Hector Xavier Monsegur, the leader-turned- informant of the activist hacking group, LulzSec, told Reuters he got inside Beijing-based China National Import & Export Corp (CEIEC). He posted documents ranging from purported U.S. ... |

| San Francisco to vacations startup AirBnB: pay up Posted: SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Online home-rental service AirBnB must pay a 14 percent tax on rentals booked in San Francisco, the city's treasurer said in a ruling with potentially costly ramifications for the high-flying startup. The meteoric growth of the four-year-old website, which allows hosts worldwide to list to offer anything from furnished homes to spare couches, has given it a recent valuation of $1 billion -- according to its latest round of funding -- and threatened to upend the traditional hospitality industry. ... |

| Minnesota legislature bypasses governor, puts voter ID on ballot Posted: MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A controversial voter photo ID requirement will be on the ballot in Minnesota in November after the Republican-led legislature gave its approval on Wednesday. The legislature's move bypasses Democratic Governor Mark Dayton - who vetoed a voter ID bill last year - and puts the proposed amendment to the state's constitution directly in the hands of voters. State senators voted along party lines on Wednesday to put the measure on the ballot. The state's representatives gave their approval shortly after midnight. ... |

| WTO dents U.S. ban on clove cigarettes Posted: GENEVA/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Trade Organization on Wednesday dealt a blow to a U.S. law barring the sale of clove-flavored cigarettes to discourage children from smoking, saying it was unfair to Indonesia because menthol cigarettes can still be sold in the United States. "The United States is very disappointed with the outcome of this dispute," Nkenge Harmon, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Trade Representative's Office, said. "The ban on cigarettes with flavors is part of landmark U.S. legislation to combat the public health crisis caused by tobacco products. ... |
| ICC rejects Libya's request over Gaddafi son surrender Posted: AMSTERDAM/TRIPOLI (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday ordered Libya to immediately hand over for trial Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the late Libyan leader, but Libya's new authorities said they still wanted to try him themselves. The court in The Hague ordered Tripoli to "comply with its obligations to enforce the warrant of arrest" and surrender him into the court's custody without delay, rejecting a Libyan request to delay the handover. The ICC says it has jurisdiction in the case and that a U.N. Security Council Resolution obliges Libya to cooperate. ... |

| Sunnis seek own voice in Bahrain's turmoil Posted: MANAMA (Reuters) - Bahrain's Sunni Muslim minority, fearful of Shi'ite political assertiveness, is spawning factions that rail against compromise with the island's sectarian majority, while nursing their own grudges against its Sunni ruling family. The emergence of hardline Sunni groups is further evidence of sectarian polarization in Bahrain, where a Shi'ite-led opposition movement persists despite the crushing of the mass protests it organized during last year's burst of Arab revolts. Shi'ite reformists want an end to the Al Khalifa family's monopoly on political and economic power. ... |
| Geithner: Slowdown in China not alarming Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Wednesday that a slower pace of growth in China's economy was no cause for alarm, adding that it had been growing too rapidly for its own good. "Really what is happening in China is growth is slowing to a more sustainable pace. They were growing faster than they could sustain over time," Geithner said in an interview with Fox Business TV. "So they started to gradually tamper the rate of growth. They did that by design because it was growing too fast," he said. (Reporting by Glenn Somerville, Rachelle Younglai) |

| New Mexico high court blocks inauguration of mayor-elect Posted: SANTA FE, New Mexico (Reuters) - A 28-year-old man elected mayor of Sunland Park, New Mexico, will not be allowed to assume office - or even set foot in city hall - as scheduled on Thursday following a court ruling related to charges that he tried to blackmail a political opponent. Daniel Salinas was arrested in late February on extortion charges and released on a $50,000 cash bond with the condition he not enter city hall or contact city workers. ... |
