The prices of goods traded among companies in Japan rose in February. The increase was slower than the previous month due to slowing energy cost rises. The Bank of Japan says the Producer Price Index rose 8.2 percent last month from a year earlier. That's 24 months in a row it's been heading upward, although the rise was slower than the 9.5 percent jump in January. Crude oil prices were relatively lower, as electricity and city gas rose. The increase slowed to stand at 33.9 percent up on the year thanks to government subsidies.

Increasing numbers of people around the world are taking to woodlands and wildernesses to learn ancient survival skills and rekindle a lost connection with the natural world. "So – what do you think's going to kill you first?" said Original Outdoors instructor Richard Prideaux, with the hint of a smile. "Starvation's a few weeks down the track. Water's not a problem – there's a river down there. But hypothermia, yes. That's a possibility on a night like tonight." He looked up at the brittle winter sky, clouded only by wisps of breath.

W hile Spokane's Looff Carrousel delights young and old just the way it is, for first-time children's book author Mary Carpenter it was a launchpad for inspiration. "I just thought it would be really neat to have the park come alive," she says. "The Carrousel and the history of the Carrousel is just so magical." In Ponies in the Park , written by Carpenter and illustrated by Mary Pat Kanaley, a young girl named Grace is disappointed to be stuck in the hospital overnight on her birthday. Unexpectedly though, magic dust, moonlight, and a birthday wish bring the historic Looff Carrousel and other sculptures in the park — the Bloomsday runners, Native salmon fishers, red wagon, garbage goat and a purple butterfly from Expo '74 — to life, and together they help Grace save a puppy in need.

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Army commander Romeo Brawner Jr. on Wednesday said he supports the proposed visiting forces agreement (VFA) with Japan, South Korea, and other partners and allies. Brawner said the partnership with the said countries will be mutually beneficial. 'Well, this is not the stand of the Philippine Army but my personal stand. I believe this would be beneficial for our country if we allow more of our partners and our allies to come into the country to train with us — not really to stay here and build bases — but more so we could train with them,' Brawner said in a press conference in Fort Bonifacio in Quezon City.

'We're expecting more runners because running events and marathons are back.

'So, we expect families such as children and parents to run together without sacrificing to wake up early,' Go said about the running event which was launched earlier today in a private school in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City.

MANILA, Philippines — Good news: No need to cancel your plans on Friday since fair weather across the archipelago is still seen to prevail. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the northeast monsoon will continue to affect Luzon, noting that this would bring cool winds in the area especially at dawn and in the evening. 'Inaasahan natin bukas na magiging maganda at maaliwalas na panahon. Para sa buong araw, bahagyang maulap ang kalangitan pero may tsansa pa rin ng isolated na mahihinang pag-ulan,' Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio said in a late Thursday afternoon public forecast.
