Cyprus Readies Capital Controls to Avert Bank Run

Cyprus is finalizing capital control measures to prevent a run on the banks by depositors anxious about their savings after the country agreed to a painful rescue package with international lenders.
Cypriots have taken to the streets of Nicosia in their thousands to protest against a bailout deal they fear will push their country into an economic slump and cost many their jobs.
European leaders said the deal averted a chaotic national bankruptcy that might have forced Cyprus out of the euro.
With banks due to reopen Thursday, Finance Minister Michael Sarris said he expected the control measures to be ready by noon on Wednesday: "I think they will be within the realms of reason," he said, without going into details.

Quote De Jour

"This focus on money and power may do wonders in the marketplace, but it creates a tremendous crisis in our society. People who have spent all day learning how to sell themselves and to manipulate others are in no position to form lasting friendships or intimate relationships... Many Americans hunger for a different kind of society -- one based on principles of caring, ethical and spiritual sensitivity, and communal solidarity. Their need for meaning is just as intense as their need for economic security."  - Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine
