| | Harvard, Buffett Have Bad News for Asia Bulls: William Pesek | | 2008-06-28 23:13:00 | | June 27 (Bloomberg) -- ``The worst is over.'' One hears some variation of this view constantly when traveling around Asia.It's a comforting one, predicated on the idea that the U.S. economy will avoid the recession that markets have priced in for some time. It's also a view that could be in for some serious revision as the year unfolds, and not in a good way.The latest sign comes from a Harvard University report. Growing foreclosures and tighter lending standards are creating an environment that ``is shaping up to be the worst in a generation,'' Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies said on June 23.``The slump in housing markets has not yet run its full course,'' said Nicolas Retsinas, director of the center.The U.S. market seems likely to remain mired in a recession. And as Retsinas pointed out, housing markets historically recover only after an economy contracts and prices fall enough to improve affordability.That's a bigger problem for Asia than many investors may want to admit | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| | When a Wedding Invitation becomes Bad News | | 2008-06-11 11:18:34 | | 'Imagine receiving a wedding invitation and groaning in dismay. Can’t imagine it? Well, South Koreans can.“I will have to fork out USD147 to attend 3 weddings,” lamented a 25 year old South Korean clerk, who earns about USD$1750 a month.A recent report in the local newspaper highlighted the plight that many South Koreans face. Currently, South Koreans have a tradition of supporting one another by giving money at each wedding occasion.According to their National Statistical Office, each household gave out an average of USD505 last year. (Average monthly household income is USD 3,509 as of 1Q 2007 according to the Korea National Statistical office)According to a market research company, 90 percent of South Korean workers reported to be “stressed” by the expenses incurred during such occasions.South Korea is an example of a typical society which places a greater emphasis on connections.

| | Now the bad news... | | 2008-05-22 10:49:19 | | After reading my previous post about the new service available from Wellsphere to access nutritional information on menu items from chain restaurants, you may be in for some bad news.If the following article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is accurate, that is.According to their report, many of these chain restaurants are guilty of misrepresenting the actual nutrient data contained in their "healthy" food choices.Here's an example. Taco Bell's Grilled Steak Soft Taco is listed by the restaurant as containing 4.5 grams of fat, when an actual analysis revealed 20 grams. Not good.Click here to read the full story. | | By: Sue's Healthy News Blog | | |
| | Peavy's injury bad news for Padres | | 2008-05-18 18:24:00 | | No matter how you spin it, consider this bad news for Jake Peavy. The Padres’ ace will not make his scheduled start Monday at home vs. St. Louis because of constant soreness in his right elbow. Peavy has been less than his normal self in his last five starts, and now we know why. Sadly, there’s a long-time trend with Peavy. Whenever he does not pitch well for a long stretch, it means he is trying to hide an injury that is bothering him.He was never injury-free in 2006 when he was just 11-14 with a 4.09 ERA. In 2004, he was struggling until being sidelined five weeks with a strained flexor in his right forearm. This time, it may be more of the same. "I just felt something in there and we haven't really had progress with it," Peavy told padres.com Sunday. "It's not normal soreness. It's sore all the time. That's the reason we are missing the start." And if Peavy’s history is any indicator, he may well miss more than just one start. | | By: San Diego Sporting | | |

| | With Orechio likely out, this spells bad news for Lautenberg | | 2008-05-13 20:34:00 | | Post-election analysisBy Kevin Canessa Jr.NUTLEY — Tonight's municipal elections here may be a strong indicator of what is to come in the state of New Jersey, as long-time Commissioner Carmen Orechio, who also served in the state legislature for many years, appears to have lost a seat on the commission by 29 votes.Orechio has been Nutley's Public Safety commissioner for decades.But Orechio's apparent loss (we're not sure about absentee ballots, or whether he'll call for a recount) may signal the end for aging politicians. Age could have been a factor in Orechio's demise, and that could spell trouble for U.S. Sen Frank Lautenberg, who is up for re-election this year.It is likely Lautenberg's Democratic opponent in the primary, U.S. Rep. Robert Andrews, will use the age card leading up to the June vote.Other odds and ends about the Nutley raceSal Olivo's loss in tonight's election didn't come as much of a surprise as one might have thought.Though he has elected experience as a former P | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

That takes care of one potential distraction the defending Super Bowl champions (God, I still love saying that!) didn't need. • Bad News: Big Blue View's migration to the SBN 2.0 platform will be delayed until next week due to some technical issues. So, you're stuck with trusty old 1.0 for the draft. Speaking of the draft, I am still uncertain about live blogging the blessed event. I plan to, but we'll see if the family has other ideas. Check in and see. • Glauber's Mock: Newsday's Bob Glauber posted his mock draft today. The Giants took ...

This is an effort to make the departure control half of the US VISIT border information gathering and analysis system work.

The poll I personally find particularly ominous. The Democratic nomination must end soon: superdelegates must endorse by June 4.Obama’s new “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy also disgusts me. Homophobia is modern day racism, sexism and anti-Semitism. And also, in an exclusive email conversation with the Obama campaign 9 months ago, I thought he made it pretty clear he would end the practice:“Senator Obama supports economic, social, and legal rights for gays and lesbians. He supports full civil unions, expanding hate crimes statutes, fighting discrimination at work and in housing and other places of public accommodation, and wants to increase adoption rights. He opposes any Constitutional ban on gay marriage, opposes the Defense of Marriage Act, and opposes the current “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the military | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |

'We're sorry sir, But we have some information about your wife,' said one Mountie.'Tell me! Did you find her?' the anguished husband sobbed.The Mounties looked at each other. One said, 'We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?'Fearing the worst, the ashen husband said, 'Give me the bad news first.'The Mountie said,'I'm sorry to tell you, Sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay.''Oh my God!' exclaimed the husband. Swallowing hard, he asked, 'What's the good news?'The Mountie continued,'When we pulled her up, she had twelve 25 lb. snow crabs & 6 good-size lobsters clinging to her.'Stunned, the husband demanded,'If that's the good news, what's the great news?'The Mountie said, 'We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow!' | | By: Really funny jokes | | |
| | Bearing the Bad News | | 2008-03-18 09:34:00 | | by Ben SteinLet me be the first to agree: The finance news lately is bad.The collapse of venerable firm Bear Stearns in the past few days has been dazzling. The company was supposed to be worth a bare minimum of $80 per share. It turns out to have been worth one-fortieth of that -- a catastrophe for its employees, whose fortunes lay largely in Bear's stock (a super-good lesson in diversification for everyone).That a business with a stellar reputation for measuring risk got it so wrong is a bad augury for other Wall Street firms. It turns out that the Street has been run largely as a gigantic casino, only a casino in which the house could lose big.Waiting for the Other ShoeObviously, we're all wondering when the next shoe will drop, or if there will be another one at all.In this environment, bank lending is curtailed and the legitimate work of Wall Street -- financing business investment -- slows down drastically. This, and not the collapse of Bear, is what will hurt the economy, and af | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| | Good Holiday but Bad News from Google | | 2008-02-28 14:13:08 | | Now I am at my home in Ampang, Malaysia. Yesterday, I returned from my trip to Tatarstan 2008 trip. I was a good & decent holiday. However, it was another story with regards to my blogs. The multi billion dollar internet company had downed the PageRank of another one of my blogs, Voyage Echoes in the Wind. Well, it seems like I am only waiting for Google to down the PR of my blogs, one by one. Anyway, I like to earn money from my blogs & do not support Google’s methods for trying to provide better internet search results. Surely, many other bloggers & content creators on the internet are cursing Google for its actions. It is possible that Google is on its way to lose favor from many internet users including me. | | By: internet executive log | | |

None of 24 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg rate the company a sell even though Wyeth also may face generic competition this year to its most-popular drug, the antidepressant Effexor, driving earnings down further. Protonix and Effexor generated a combined $5.5 billion in 2006.

| | | Forex - US dollar weaker after more bad news about housing, lending markets | | 2007-11-21 02:10:00 | | SYDNEY, Nov. 20, 2007 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) -- The US dollar was weaker against major currencies in midmorning trade in Sydney on Wednesday, extending overnight losses as investors digest more bad news about the banking and housing markets in the US and interpret comments from the Federal Reserve as suggesting further interest rate cuts are on the way.The greenback was friendless after mortgage lender Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) reported a record quarterly loss of 2 billion US dollars due to rising defaults and an analyst downgraded Countrywide Financial Corp (NYSE:CFC) , fuelling credit market concerns.The Federal Reserve also lowered its forecast for economic growth next year to 1.8-2.5 percent from 2.5-2.7 percent and nudged up its unemployment forecast to 4.8-4.9 percent from about 4.75 percent.The greenback is also under pressure from increasing speculation the Arab states of the Persian Gulf will revalue their currencies against the US dollar and replace the peg wit | | By: Forex Day Trading|How to profit forex markets|Make | | |

| | Don't Let Bad News Scare You Off Market | | 2007-10-18 18:43:00 | | Donald H. GoldWhen the stock market notched its most recent follow-through day, Aug. 29, many people simply didn't trust the message. Buy stocks? At a time like this?But the market's message with that follow-through was clear. And investors must get past the headlines. Whether the world's woes are real or imagined, stocks often take off in what seems the worst of times.Look back at Aug. 29. What was happening?The market was still reeling from the subprime-mortgage fiasco. Some huge mortgage companies were either shutting their doors or coming close to it. Shares of rock-solid investment bankers with exposure to that mess -- Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS - News) and Bear Stearns (NYSE:BSC - News), for instance -- were getting hammered. No one knew how much the fallout would spread to the economy.Iraq was still a mess. Politicians were falling over each other to propose timetables for U.S. troop withdrawals.Iran is intent on building a nuclear program and seems delighted to thumb its nose to the West, especially the U.S. Global warming, North Korea, Hamas, Hezbollah, George Steinbrenner. The world often looks gloomy when the stock market bottoms. The Aug. 15, 2006, market follow-through occurred amid hand-wringing about corporate earnings. But also that day, a tame inflation report raised hopes for an interest-rate cut.The March 21 follow-through happened after a series of bad news on the housing market. But on that day, the Fed hinted that it would take a dovish stance on interest rates.The Federal Reserve's moves, by the way, are important to watch.While not every follow-through leads to a new uptrend, every bull phase has started with a follow-through.Watch for this signal, which consists of a big gain in at least one major index sometime after the third day of a rally attempt.Also important is to watch for high-rated stocks, with outstanding fundamentals, breaking out of bases. When leading stocks make such moves, it serves to confirm a new rally.More importantly, realize the economy usually isn't as bad as the news outlets will tell you.The jobless rate is under 5%. Incomes are rising, and the latest retail sales stat shows we are spending well. Interest rates are low and probably poised to go even lower. | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
| | Bad News From HopUnion | | 2007-09-18 11:20:00 | | A bit of troubling news from the folks at HopUnion, via Dave Wells at Freshops:The hop world is upside down. In the future we see the possibility of brewers shutting down for lack of hops.For US hops 2007 is looking like an average crop, but not a bumper crop.Slovenia (grower of Styrians) lost at least 1/3 and possibly as much as 1/2 of their crop to a hailstorm.The Czech crop is down 25% this year. Estimated alphas on Czech Saaz from the 2007 crop are 2.7 - 2.9.The German crop is average at best with earlier aroma hops coming in below normal (such as Hallertau Mittelfruh).New Zealand and Australia crops this year (which arrived in the US in June and July) were normal.England is almost out of the hop business.

| | Fox News was the Most Watched Presidential Debate of 2007: Bad News for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton | | 2007-09-07 04:58:03 | | While the liberal bloggers spout that Fox News is nothing but “Fox Noise,” the American people disagree. The reason the American people overwhelmingly watch Fox News over CNN and MSNBC is because the other news programs cannot be trusted. They are too often factually inaccurate and overtly biased, MSNBC being the worst of all cable networks.Last night was a very enlightening debate. Even though some Republicans were disappointed with the candidates themselves, the format was better than prior debates. We really were able to see the distinction between candidates, and Fox News’ hosts are a major reason for that fact. Consequently, the American people actually watched the Republicans, knowing that Fox News would not allow the candidates to pander to their base. This may spell bad news for the Democrats, who continually refuse to show up on Fox News to appease the liberal blogger nutcases.Amazingly, Fox News Channel scored the highest rated presidential candidate debate of the | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |

The good news - Wily Mo Pena cleared waivers so he can be traded up until August 31st. I didn't expect a donnybrook involving all the teams that surely want a player of his caliber, but a mild scuffle should have been in the works, right? Which brings us to the bad news - Wily Mo still sucks. Of course, as a resident of New England, it is my solemn duty to gloss over his abysmal performance since he joined the Red Sox by attributing said sucking to his overall lack of playing time. The prevailing theory there is Wily Mo would suck less if he played more and got into a groove. Of course this leads to a chicken vs. egg debate with more rational people who attribute Wily Mo's lack of playing time to the fact that he has shown no capacity to justify more ABs or starts because he sucks.The trade that brought Wily Mo to our little corner of paradise has inherent value for the Red Sox organization, even if the on- | | By: Sedition In Red Sox Nation | | |
| | Bad News For Michael Vick | | 2007-07-30 19:54:32 | | I am a firm believer in the whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing that we have going here in the U.S. In this day and age of 24 hour media coverage and FOX News I feel like most people forget about this part of our judicial system.
That being said I think that Michael Vick just went from “deep shit” to “seriously deep you can’t see daylight shit”. One of Vick’s co-defendents, Tony Taylor, pleaded guilty today to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges and agreed to cooperate with the government. Here is the bitch of it. Mr. Taylor didn’t even sign an official plea deal with the government. Sure he will probably receive a reduced sentence but he has no guarantee on paper. According to the MSNBC.com article the judge was quoted as saying “You’re pleading guilty and taking your chances, right?” To which Taylor responded, “Yes.” Frankly I applaud the guy.

| | Bad News Day for Track & Field | | 2007-07-26 11:42:02 | | Bad news seems to come in bunches. Yesterday the IAAF announced that it has provisionally suspended Jolanda Ceplak for a doping violation. Both her "A" and "B" samples failed in an out-of-competition test, showing positive for the blood-doping agent EPO. The Slovakian middle-distance runner is the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist and the indoor world record holder for the 800m Run. For what it's worth, Ceplak proclaims her innocence.Today Walter Dix announced that he will not be competing at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. Here's the pertinent section of the article in case the link gets removed:FSU's Dix decides to 'call it a season'By Steve Ellis DEMOCRAT SENIOR WRITERWalter Dix won't be adding to his impressive 2007 resume in track. The ACC male athlete of the year has decided against competing in the IAAF World Championships next month in Japan.“He just decided to shut it down,” Florida State assistant coach Ken Harnden said. “It's been a long year. He's finishing up some classes . . . he just decided to call it a season. I knew he was tired.”Dix plans to graduate in the spring and has said he'll continue to run for FSU at least up to that point. He was honored by the ACC on Tuesday following a junior year in which he won the 100 meters and 200 meters at the 2007 NCAA outdoor championships. He was also part of the winning 4x100 meter relay team, becoming the first male athlete to claim national titles in each of those three events since 1969.
