Some U.S. officials said they feared that Ukraine’s use of the missiles across the border could prompt President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to retaliate with force against the United States and its coalition partners.
But other U.S. officials said they thought those fears were overblown.

Why Chinese economic worries look overdone
Despite financial nervousness, rebalancing continues
Brazil’s economy is in a mess, with far bigger problems than the government will admit or investors seem to register. The torpid stagnation into which it fell in 2013 is becoming a full-blown—and probably prolonged—recession, as high inflation squeezes wages and consumers’ debt payments rise. Investment, already down by 8% from a year ago, could fall much further http://econ.st/1BGnYG7
Some of the passages which I have left untranslated seemed to me to overweight the introspective side of the Journal, already so full—to overweight it, at any rate, for English readers.
Europe's Debt Threatens MF Global Worries about Europe have buffeted other American financial firms in recent months, but MF Global is showing signs of becoming the first to face a full-blown panic.
Worries about China's growing appetite for mining acquisitions may be overblown. PriceWaterhouseCoopers estimates $113 billion's worth of mining mergers and acquisitions were done globally in 2010. Acquisitions by Chinese companies totaled not quite $12 billion, or just more than 10% of the total.

Fewer than half of US adults get enough physical activity for their health, said a US government study released Tuesday.
美國成年人口中，不到一半達到有助於他們健康的身體活動量，週二發布的一份美國政府研究報告說。
In a country where two thirds of the population is overweight or obese, just 48 percent get enough exercise, said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
美國3分之2的人口過重或肥胖，卻只有48%的人有足夠運動量，美國疾病管制暨預防中心（CDC）說。
Current US guidelines call for at least two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, such as brisk walking, in periods of at least 10 minutes each.
當前美國的指導建議方針，要求一星期至少2小時半的中級強度有氧身體活動，諸如快走，每次至少持續10分鐘。
The CDC report found that walking as exercise is increasing, with about six in 10 US adults getting active through walking.
CDC的報告發現，越來越多人以走路當作運動，10名美國成人中，約有6人透過步行來活動筋骨。
"More than 145 million adults are now getting some of their physical activity by walking," said a statement by CDC director Thomas Frieden.
「超過1億4500萬成人現在靠走路獲得一些運動」，CDC主任湯瑪士．佛利登在一份聲明中說。
