Freeport McMoRan 4Q Profits Drop
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold said today (Thursday) that its fourth-quarter profit dropped 59% as gold and copper production both declined.

Revenue dropped 26% to $4.16 billion from $5.6 billion.
Freeport-McMoRan says the drop is mainly due to labor disruptions and the temporary suspension of operations in Indonesia because of pipeline damage.

Proposed Bill Would Allow Public Schools to End Free Lunches
A state Senate panel has approved a bill that would let schools opt out of the federal program that offers free and reduced price lunches for needy students.
The East Valley Tribune reports that Sen. Rich Crandall of Mesa believes that the decision of whether or not to participate should be left to local school officials. Crandall says some districts may decide to continue to offer the meals, but on their own terms. Other schools may drop the program entirely.

The Senate Education Committee approved the bill by a 6 to 1 vote. It now goes to the full Senate.

Wikipedia and Other Websites Plan 'Blackout' on Wednesday
Wikipedia has announced that it will black out the English language version of its website on Wednesday to protest anti-piracy legislation in Congress. It will shut down access from midnight Eastern Standard Time (10:pm MST) Tuesday night until midnight Wednesday.
Critics of the proposed legislation say it goes way beyond cracking down on the sale of pirated US products. They say the language of the two similar bills in the House and Senate restricts freedom of speech, creativity and innovation. They also say that eventually only those with the financial resources to fight legal challenges would be able to speak.
The Reddit and Boing Boing websites are also planning to blackout their services on Wednesday. Many other tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter are also strongly opposed to the legislation, but they are not participating in the blackout.
The White House has also expressed opposition to parts of the proposed legislation.
