--Surprise drop in Chinese exports may signal declining demand

--Concerns about Ukraine and Libya seen supporting prices

--Reduction of Cushing, Okla., glut expected to persist

NEW YORK--Crude-oil futures fell Monday as China posted a bigger drop in exports than expected, a potential bearish sign for demand.

Light, sweet crude for April delivery was down $1.54, or 1.5%, to $101.04 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on ICE Futures Europe was down $1.11, or 1%, at $107.89 a barrel.

China over the weekend said exports fell 18% compared with a year before, the first year-over-year drop since September. Some analysts cautioned that distortions related to the Lunar New Year holiday may account for a big part of the decline, but, as Energy Management Institute analyst Dominick Chirichella wrote, the disappointing export data coincided with a drop in oil imports into China for February.

"The data out of China have been consistently suggesting that China may not meet its growth objectives this year even though the leadership just projected a 7.5% (growth in) GDP for 2014," Mr. Chirichella said in a note, adding that he expects global demand forecasts to sink this week in a reflection of the weaker Chinese data.

The state of Chinese demand for oil is especially important for Russia if other nations impose economic sanctions related to the crisis in Crimea, said Carl Larry, an analyst at Oil Outlooks & Opinions. Russia is the world's second- largest crude exporter behind Saudi Arabia.

"If that market gets squeezed out of the West, it's going to go to the East," Mr. Larry said.

Better keep the Kleenex on hand when you sit down to watch Sunday's mid-season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashianscause there won't be a dry eye in the house.

The episode starts out with Kim Kardashian packing for Kanye West's upcoming Yeezus tour. She sorts through a box of lacy panties and reminisces about an underwear game she once played with her friends, referring to a particular pair of undies as a "crotch veil." Oh, the memories.

Khlo Kardashian stops by to visit Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, who are packing for a retreat in Arizona.

Khlo and Kourtney share a laugh as they look over the resort's menu of services that include a "bang trim" and some weird oil treatment.

Kourtney then starts talking about "sea minerals," which Scott totally mistakes for "semen."

Kris Jenner is worried about Rob Kardashian's health, so she urges him to go to the doctor's office to get his thyroid checked.

Kourtney asks a lot of questions, which makes Rob nervous while getting his blood drawn.

Scott and Kourtney arrive at the Miraval Retreat in Arizona. Scott remarks to Kourtney that he wishes that was how their house looked, instead of like "f------ Beetlejuice."

With a gorgeous view and swimming pool, this spa puts the "l" in luxury.

Khlo has been traveling everywhere to promote the Kardashian collection. While in Dubai, a reporter catchesKhlo off-guard by asking how things are with Lamar.

AMERICUS Students at Georgia Southwestern State University will be able to Eat Mor Chikin when a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opens this summer inside the Canes Den in the Student Success Center.

Construction is expected to begin in May on the new restaurant which will be operated by Aramark, the universitys food service provider.

Were excited to begin construction of this new Chick-fil-A restaurant, which is something our students have been asking for as a dining option, said Shane Collins, Food Service Director, Georgia Southwestern State University. We had this space available and knew Chick-fil-A would be a good fit right in the heart of campus.

In October 2013, students took a GSW Dining Services (Aramark) survey selecting restaurant chain preferences. Chick-fil-A was the overwhelming favorite having received 51 percent of the vote. Boars Head deli was second. The new restaurant will feature a Chick-fil-A/Boars Head combination.

The new Chick-fil-A location will serve the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A Nuggets, Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries, Chick-fil-A Grilled Market Salad, Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup, freshly squeezed Chick-fil-A Lemonade, ice tea and a variety of soft drinks.

The hours of the new restaurant will be as follows: 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. 8 p.m., Friday, and 10:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. Saturday. As with all Chick-fil-A locations, it will be closed on Sunday. The restaurant will be open to students and the public.

Chick-fil-A is the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States with 1,797 locations in 39 states and annual sales of more than $5 billion. The chain has almost 260 licensed locations on college and university campuses and inside businesses complexes and airports.

Chick-fil-A announces future GSW location New restaurant inside Student Success Center expected to open Aug. 1

SAN FRANCISCO -- Someone who doesnt live or work in the area around 6th and Mission might walk past the Mint Mall and miss the tiny JT Restaurant. But around the neighborhood there are many, from elderly residents to construction workers to Filipino and Latino families, who know the business not only for its home-style chicken and pork adobo, but also for its vital role as a community space.

At the center of it all is the owner and chef, Tess Diaz-Guzman, who is called Mama Tess by those who know her.

Im proud because everybody calls me [that], she says, laughing. I have a lot of nephews and nieces, but [many are] American.

Diaz-Guzman, 55, owns JT Restaurant in the South of Market neighborhood in San Franciscos central city area, with her husband Juan, whom she married in 2010. Formerly a butcher and originally from the province of Laguna in the Philippines, she came to San Francisco 13 years ago, shortly after her first husband passed away.

Her brother already lived in San Francisco and had started the Filipino restaurant in the 1990s. Diaz-Guzman and Juan took charge of it a few years ago, renaming it JT Restaurant (the initials for Juan and Tess).

Business is community hub

In SoMA, residents who are over age 65 and living alone make up over 10 percent of the population, and more than a third of them are living below the federal poverty line. The citys rising rents are squeezing nonprofit social service providers and small businesses that often times serve as a safety net for low-income seniors and families.

James Chionsini, an organizing director with the nearby advocacy organization Senior and Disability Action, says that small businesses like JT Restaurant are particularly important for seniors who are living alone. If you live in a small room, you need a community place.

Places like Tesss are an access point, he says. They provide the community with ways to survive. Many in the community affectionately call her the Mayor of SoMA, he said.

The space is used for gatherings. For instance, the West Bay Pilipino Multi-Service Center nearby has brought seniors there to sing karaoke, Diaz-Guzman says. She meets elders when she caters for community centers like West Bay, as well as Centro Latino in the Mission, and organizations like Chionsinis have used her space for receptions.
