| 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 | | |

| | Harvard Fall Seminar Examined School’s Ties to Slavery | | 2008-04-24 13:21:32 | | The research from this seminar should be interesting for history buffs, especially considering Harvard’s more illustrious alumni of that period–John Winthrop, Samuel and John Cabot, John Hancock, and Charles Sumner–all seem to have had a hand in Harvard’s links to slavery.

| DaDdY YaNkEe ReCiBirA PrEmIo De HaRvArD??? | | 2008-04-16 22:59:00 | | Daddy Yankee recibirá el próximo 26 de abril el premio Latino del Año otorgado por la prestigiosa Universidad de Harvard por su labor social, informó hoy a Efe el representante del artista. Yankee, autodenominado "el jefe" del reguetón, fue escogido como ganador del premio por ser uno de los pioneros de la música urbana latina y por su labor como presidente de la Fundación "Corazón Guerrero", que busca ayudar a la reinserción en la sociedad de ex presidiarios, informó Efe. Desde el lanzamiento de la fundación, Yankee ha ayudado a varias instituciones como al Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez en San Juan, donde en febrero pasado, el reguetonero presentó el programa de becas "Edúcate con Impacto" para ayudar a jóvenes de correccionales juveniles a culminar sus estudios universitarios.

| | Women-only gym hours stir debate at Harvard | | 2008-03-05 06:08:00 | | What I want to know is: Do all universities in Turkey have gyms and athletic centers?Are they all co-ed at all hours of the day? Are head scarves allowed at Harvard? If so, why is it okay here in the US, but not in Turkey? Who wants to go first? | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |
| | Harvard Sets Women-Only Hours for Gym, Complying With Muslim Students' Request | | 2008-03-03 14:08:00 | | Ola Aljawhary, a student and a member of the Harvard Islamic Society, said the women-only gym is needed. "These hours are necessary because there is a segment of the Harvard female population that is not found in gyms, not because they don't want to work out, but because for them working out in a co-ed gym is uncomfortable, awkward or problematic in some way," she told Boston University's Daily Free Press.Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, in Washington D.C., said modesty may prevent some Muslim women from exercising in a co-ed environment."If the women are dressed in a manner that makes it more comfortable to exercise, they may not feel it’s appropriate for them to be viewed by men in that particular attire," he said. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| | | Harvard Gringo | | 2008-01-13 07:35:00 | | An American consultant was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."The American then asked, "Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?The Mexican said, "Well, I catch enough to feed my family."The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard graduate and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"To which the American replied, "15-20 years.""But what then, senor?"The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.""Millions, senor? Then what?"The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar wit | | By: Jokes and Forwards | | |

| | Bill Gates em Harvard: sou uma má influência | | 2007-06-12 05:03:00 | | Depois de Steve Jobs fazer história com o famoso discurso aos graduandos de Stanford em 2005, chegou a hora do seu maior rival nos negócios virar notícia no meio acadêmico.Na última quinta feira Bill Gates recebeu o diploma honorário de doutor em direito da universidade de Harvard. O seu discurso foi cheio de frases bem humoradas e lições de vida. Logo no início ele diz ser uma “má influência”, primeiro por ter largado a faculdade, depois, por ter incentivado Steve Ballmer, atual presidente da Microsoft, a fazer o mesmo. Em outro ponto ele justifica o motivo de ter sido convidado somente para falar durante a festa de graduação, dizendo: “Se eu tivesse falado durante a sua orientação, poucos de vocês estariam aqui hoje".O resultado final foi um discurso muito interessante que vale a pena ser assistido e estudado (eu me refiro ao Inglês).
