Economic Data Analysis - Chew on This!
2008-05-14 19:50:00 Glue in your dentures tightly, because there's a plateful of economic analysis to chew on today. Between today and yesterday, we absorbed the newest inflation measure, two retail reports, a spot of housing news mixed with mortgage and foreclosure data, an updated energy outlook and weekly inventory, business inventories and import and export prices. Chew on that morsel before you choke on it! We are not schooled in the Heimlich Maneuver here at "The Greek." This article focuses on the big inflation report.Consumer Price Index (CPI)The market is rising today on what, on the surface of things, looks like a positive development for inflation. However, the published headline numbers alone do not tell the whole story. Simply looking at the result, would be like passing a great impressionist's painting from three feet away.

ONLINE ADVERTISING SHOWING SIGNS OF ECONOMIC WEAR?
2008-05-13 23:31:00 Online advertising is starting to feel the effects of a tepid economy, industry analysis firm PubMatic said in a release Tuesday. Based on data from "billions of ad impressions" and several thousand online publishers in its AdPrice Index, PubMatic asserted that clicks per thousand monetization rates (CPMs) dropped between March and April, using it as an indicator that the economic slowdown has begun to hit the online ad industry. Large Web sites (over 100 million monthly page views) are feeling the pain, the firm said, with monetization dropping 52 percent from 38 cents in March to 18 cents in April. Medium-sized Web sites didn't change much over the same time period. Smaller ones (fewer than 1 million monthly page views) actually showed an improvement in monetization, rising from $1.18 CPM in March to $1.29 in April. But overall, PubMatic found, overall monetization has dropped 23 percent. The problem may be the rise of social-media advertising, which major figures in the tech i...

Economic Stimulus Package
2008-05-09 00:18:00 Daily Market Commentary for May 8, 2008 from Millennium-Traders.Com (http://www.millennium-traders.-com) In 2001 and 2003, tax relief payments to individuals and families stimulated the broader economy by increasing consumer spending.

US economic stimulus package = Ikelite AF35 strobe???
2008-05-08 10:11:00 So far, every picture that Pat or I have taken since we started going the digital route underwater has been with the onboard flash or with available light. We both now have Canon G9 camera setups and decided that we'll take the opportunity of the stimulus windfall to pick up the Ikelite strobe package linked here:This strobe isn't a high end strobe package, but it packs a fair punch for the price and might be ideal for our use. I'd been curious about it, as it offers a decent amount of power for macro and nearby pictures, say to about 3-4 feet, for the price. It just came out in the last couple of months so there's not a lot of them out there just yet, but a customer the other week had one and is quite happy with it so far. It's made to be compatible with most of the point and shoot camera setups currently available and has a sensor to make it more or less automatic once you get settings that give you an exposure you are comfortable with. Few, if any, strobe packages give ...

March U of O Index of Economic Indicators

Only two indicators?the interest rate spread and the weight-distance tax collected?improved. Remaining indicators held roughly steady or deteriorated. The index continues to decline at a rate consistent with weak economic growth and a high possibility of recession. Still, even if a technical recession is avoided, continued strains on household finances suggest a prolonged period of economic weakness.Click on any graph for a better image.As a general rule of thumb, a decline of 3.5 percent over six months, coupled with a decline in more than half of its components, signals that a recession is likely imminent.On the job market:Nonfarm payrolls fell by 2,700 employees during the month, although the February loss was revised to show a slight gain ...

Social Cultural and economic forces make women more likely to contract HIV
2008-05-05 15:54:00 The view of poor & developing countries, In generally we found that women & adolescent girls are more vulnerable to HIV infection on each sexual encounter because of the biological nature of the process and the vulnerability of the reproductive tract tissues to the virus, especially in adolescent girls. For example, young women are generally disadvantaged by gender disparities. In terms of food intake, access to health care and growth patterns, girls are often worse off than boys. The inequalities become evident soon after birth, and by adolescence many girls are grossly underweight. Social Cultural and economic forces make women more likely to contract HIV infection than men. Women are often less able to negotiate for safer sex due to reasons such as their lower status, economic dependence and fear of violence, adolescent girls in the countries.
