Egypt's streets have turned into a daily forum for airing a range of social discontents from labor conditions to fuel shortages and the casualties of myriad clashes over the past two years. Newly called parliamentary elections hold out little hope for plucking the country out of the turmoil and if anything, are likely to just fuel unrest and push it toward economic collapse.

People look at section of wall Saturday Feb.23, 2013 where a Banksy mural was removed from the side of a Poundland shop north London in mysterious circumstances, only to reappear on the website of a Miami auction house. Listed as "Slave Labor (Bunting Boy)," it was due to be sold Saturday with an estimated price of between $500,000 and $700,000. Slave Labour, which shows a young boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting, appeared on the wall last May, just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Investigators approach the scene where a crane overturned onto a barge and into San Francisco Bay, seen from Clipper Cove on Treasure Island Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, in San Francisco. A crane tipped over while working on the new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge on Thursday afternoon, but there were no injuries and nothing leaked into the bay, authorities said. The crane was on a barge underneath the new span helping to remove a temporary support structure and was holding a piece of the structure when it fell around noon Thursday, according to bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon. Gordon said officials are investigating what caused the crane to tip over and whether the new span was damaged at all. The new bridge is expected to open over Labor Day weekend. It will connect Oakland to Treasure Island and replace the eastern span that was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)

That could give the Federal Reserve room to continue its efforts to stimulate growth. The consumer price index has risen 1.6 percent in the 12 months ending in January, the Labor Department said Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013. That's down from a 2.9 percent pace a year ago. (AP Photo/Nam Y.

This is an undated image of an art work from British artist Banksy made available by Haringey Council Wednesday Feb. 20, 2013. The stencil by the famed, secretive graffiti artist of a young boy sewing Union Jack bunting on an antique sewing machine appeared on the side of a north London bargain store last May. Soon the gritty Turnpike Lane area was drawing art lovers keen to see Banksy's typically cheeky take on the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's 60 years on the British throne. Last week it vanished, leaving nothing but a rectangle of exposed brick — only to reappear on the website of a Miami auction house. Listed as "Slave Labor (Bunting Boy)," it is due to be sold Saturday with an estimated price of between $500,000 and $700,000. (AP Photo/Haringey Council) NO ARCHIVE

More expensive food and soda helped drive up a measure of U.S. wholesale prices in January, though overall, inflation stayed tame. The Labor Department says the producer price index increased 0.2 percent last month, the first increase since September. The index measures the cost of goods before they reach consumers. Food prices jumped 0.7 percent, after a steep decline in December. Gasoline and other energy prices fell. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)
