Blasts Kill at Least 9 in Indonesia

We're learning tonight that at least 9 people have died in explosions at the Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia.

This is the latest update from the Associated Press.
The AP sources an Indonesia security official and puts the wounded listed as 52. It's not clear how many of them may be Americans, nor if this is a terrorist attack.

Some of the more interesting news of the day, Starbucks has plans to diversify its brand. One Seattle shop is losing its name and getting a new one. It'll now be known as the "15th Avenue Coffee & Tea Shop" and next week it will start serving wine and beer. Same beans, different brew, so to speak. Some wonder if it's a good idea at all.
