Global stocks tumbled on Friday, dragging the Dow Jones Industrial Average into negative
territory for 2014 and shaking
the confidence that many investors had clung to despite lackluster growth around the world.
A wave of selling in the final
hour of trading on Friday left
the Dow at 16544.10, down 115.15
points, or 0.7%. The blue-chip index fell 466 points, or 2.7%, for
the week, its worst weekly performance since August.

of the stomach-churning worries
now spreading through global financial markets.
As big U.S. companies begin
reporting third-quarter results,
many investors fear that some
firms will say weakening foreign
markets and the strengthening
U.S. dollar held down sales and
could hurt future performance.
Another problem: Because
stock-price valuations are high,
many investors believe low interest rates and inflation, strong
earnings and steady economic
growth are needed to keep push-
ing stocks higher overall.

MOSCOW—Russian rock icon Andrei Makarevich
was working the crowd between songs at the House
of Music one evening last month when five roughlooking men hurled fruit at him, sprayed pepper gas
and yelled: “Makarevich is a traitor to the motherland!”
The incident capped the 60-year-old’s unintended
transformation from the frontman of one of the
foremost Soviet rock bands loved by millions of
Russians to a blacklisted dissident. The tipping
point: playing a concert for refugees in a town controlled by Ukrainian government troops.
With his middle-of-the-road songs and boyish
grin, Mr. Makarevich is a most unlikely character to

TV as the “fascist” face of opposition to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. For years the clean-cut
member of Russia’s rock scene, he sat next to President Vladimir Putin at a Paul McCartney concert on
Red Square in 2003, when it seemed Russia was
opening up to the West.
Now, the campaign against Mr. Makarevich
shows how the Ukraine crisis has transformed the
atmosphere inside Russia, fueling a crackdown on
critics and even the merely skeptical.

In return, the Justice Department will allow the 45-year-old
Mr. Obiang to keep assets that include a Gulfstream jet, a luxury

WASHINGTON—The Obama
administration’s alliance with
Qatar is shaking the international coalition against extremist
group Islamic State, according to
U.S. and Arab officials who say
the Gulf emirate’s ties to powerful militant and Islamist groups
in the Middle East are a problem.
Qatar’s links with the main al
Qaeda affiliate in Syria, Nusra
Front, as well as with Hamas and
the Taliban in Afghanistan, are
heightening concerns in Washington and Arab capitals about
the long-term intentions of the
monarchy.
Diplomats from Washington’s
closest Arab allies, including
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates and Jordan, have been
warning the White House that
Qatar is playing a double game in
the region—publicly supporting
U.S. policies while aiding its enemies. These countries have been
pressing Washington to more
forcefully reprimand Doha over
those relationships.
Qatari officials declined to
comment on the allegations.
Qatar is a critical cog in the
latest U.S.-led Middle East war. It
hosts the al-Udeid Air Base from
where the Pentagon is launching
many of its bombing strikes on
Islamic State targets in Iraq and
Syria.
Qatar is one of five Arab
countries formally taking part in
the American-led coalition. Its
air force has provided surveillance and logistical support for

for so-called canner lobsters,
younger and smaller lobsters that
are prized for their sweeter taste
and sought after by major customers, including casinos and cruise
ships. The lobster market is worth
about 144.2 million Canadian dollars ($130 million) a year to the
province, which has a population
of just 145,000.
Across the

New Brunswick,
lobster catchers
say tastes have

and
that most customers prefer
larger, older lobsters. Those bigger
lobsters currently bring in around
C$3.75 a pound—or 50 Canadian
cents more than canners. Processors in their province also like
them larger, in part because bigger
tails mean bigger profits.
