  • U.S. worries keep global stocks, dollar pressured
    Recent signs that the world's biggest economy may be sliding into recession unsettled European and Asian stocks on Friday, and helped push the dollar to a near three-week low versus a basket of currencies.Adding to worries was news that thousands of Turkish troops have crossed into northern Iraq in their hunt for Kurdish PKK guerrillas -- the first major incursion in a decade that is set to heat up the geopolitical scene.U.S. data on Thursday showing mid-Atlantic factory production slumped to its lowest level since the 2001 recession, and an index of future U.S. economic activity pointed to even tougher times ahead had sparked a global selloff in stocks.After the previous session's sharp fall though, Wall Street looked set for a steadier start on Friday with U.S. stock futures trading just a touch lower.The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares fell 0.4 percent while London's FTSE shed 0.2 percent. Germany's DAX was 1.2 percent lower, further weighed by disappointing profits fr

    Interview mit Heiko Richter, zusammen mit Jana Lohs einer der Macher des Internetfernsehsenders „Hit-TV.eu“ - http://hit-tv.eu -, in Zwickau (Sachsen)*Frage: Herr Richter, die Fernsehsender „Sat.1“ und „ProSieben“ setzen verstärkt auf das Breitbildformat 16:9 und haben am 16. Februar 2008 die Verbreitung der seit 2005 frei empfangbaren Kanäle „Sat.1 HD“ und „ProSieben HD“ über Satellit, Kabel und DSL bis 2010 vorübergehend eingestellt. Was bedeutet das für die Zuschauer/innen?Antwort: Ich empfinde dies persönlich als absoluten Rückschritt in der Entwicklung. Deutschland ist in Sachen „HD“ global gesehen im Hintertreffen. Betrachtet man die Entwicklung, fällt folgendes auf. Der „HD“-Start bei „ProSieben“ und „Sat.1“ erfolgte im Jahr 2005. Damals waren aber noch gar keine Empfangsgeräte auf dem deutschen Markt. Die ersten kamen Anfang 2006 zu einem Preis, der noch nicht massentauglich war. Inzwischen hat sich der Markt jedoch langsam entwickel

  • GLOBAL MARKETS - Stocks rebound, currencies steady pre-G7
    By Natsuko Waki LONDON (Reuters) - World stocks edged away from this week's two-week lows on Friday as a recent sell-off attracted investors looking for bargains, while major currencies held steady ahead of a meeting of Group of Seven finance chiefs. Higher crude oil prices on the back of expectations that cold U.S. weather would boost fuel demand supported energy stocks, while firmer commodity prices including gold and platinum underpinned emerging market assets. The six-month-old credit crisis has hit balance sheets of major investment banks exposed to the U.S. subprime mortgage sector, threatened to hit corporate profits and drag down the real economy. Such concerns briefly pushed some sectors of Wall Street this week into a bear market -- a cycle that starts when an index falls 20 percent from a recent market peak. While this presents good buying opportunities from a valuation point of view, investor sentiment remains fragile, putting the focus firmly on a weekend meeting

  • Altered sleeping patterns among hibernating animals linked to global warming
    New evidence has suggested that the sleeping patterns of hibernating animals have been altered due to rising temperatures from global warming, which could bring them to the brink of extinction.   These abbreviated hibernations are part of a growing body of evidence suggesting that hibernating animals are waking up earlier—or not going to sleep at all.   According to a report in National Geographic News, this new finding was done by researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab in Crested Butte, Colorado, who took the case of the change observed in the marmot's hibernation patterns.   When these animals were studied in the 1970s, it was seen that rarely awoke before the third week of May.   But these days, according to the scientists, marmots regularly end their winter naps a month beforehand—by the third week of April.   Average low temperatures in April in Gothic, Colorado, the site of the marmot study, have climbed 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit (1.4

  • Global markets are changing – is India following suit?!
    IIPM, ADMISSIONS FOR NEW DELHI & GURGAON BRANCHESThe market for textile products is witnessing significant changes. Competition from Asian suppliers has been increasing even in Western markets, whereas participants in their Regional Trade Agreements are losing ground. Domestic production in North America & Western Europe has been declining consistently during the last few years and their textile industries are projected to shrink mostly into high tech segments in the coming years. In India, the industry has experienced an impressive growth in terms of installed capacities. Exports have also recorded significant growth after abolition of bilateral quotas. However, certain developments during the last few months such as the rupee appreciation and increase in interest rates seem to have dampened the enthusiasm that this industry has witnessed during last few years.The current retail boom is bringing large distribution networks to the domestic market, necessitating production facil
  • GLOBAL MARKETS - U.S. stocks higher despite economy jitters
    By Jonathan Oatis NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street stocks rose on Monday, escaping a slump in Asian and European shares on fears about the global economy, and helped by a fall in oil prices amid anticipation of another U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Expectations of a Fed rate cut on Wednesday -- which would be the second in a little more than a week -- pushed the dollar downward against most major currencies. While declines on European stock markets drove investors into safe-haven assets like bonds, generally driving prices higher there, U.S. Treasury debt fell as investors took profits after a six-month rally and U.S. stocks rose. Gold prices rose to record highs on the weakness in the dollar as well as a power shortage in South Africa, a major supplier of the yellow metal. U.S. stock indexes were up in a volatile session that began with shares falling. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 69.59 points, or 0.57 percent, at 12,276.76. The Standard & Poor's 500

  • Suzuki Motor sees global car sales up 7 pct in '08
    By Aiko Hayashi TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp, a maker of compact cars, said on Thursday it expects its global car sales to rise 7 percent this year as it taps demand for fuel-efficient vehicles in emerging markets. The company also said it expects motorcycle sales to increase 11 percent to 3.6 million bikes in 2008. Chief Executive Officer Osamu Suzuki told a news conference he expects robust growth in Asian markets such as India and China to continue to benefit the company, but a slowing in the global economy stemming from the U.S. subprime problems and high oil prices pose concerns. "I don't expect demand for cars will expand this year, while we have worries about the United States, currency moves, a decline in overall consumption and high oil prices," he said. Suzuki has been growing rapidly as its line-up of comparatively low-cost, fuel-efficient cars drives sales in India, Eastern Europe and other emerging markets. Suzuki's pole position in
  • GLOBAL MARKETS - Stocks fall, bonds climb as recession fears rule
    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. and European stocks slid on Wednesday, hammered by persistent worries about a U.S. recession, one day after the Federal Reserve's surprise interest rate cut boosted global markets. Safe-haven government bonds and the yen, which tend to rise as investors pare risky trades, gained ground. Commodities, including oil, sagged on nagging fears that slower global growth will hurt demand. European stocks closed at their lowest level in 1-1/2 years on Wednesday, as fears of more mortgage-related write-downs again hit bank shares. In the United States, all three major stock indexes fell more than 1 percent as disappointing outlooks from technology leaders Apple Inc and Motorola Inc added to recession fears. "When the Fed cuts 75 basis points, stocks are supposed to go up," said T.J. Marta, fixed income strategist at RBC Capital Markets. "That's not happening. There's a lot of dread out there."

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. and European stocks fell on Wednesday as persistent worries about a U.S. recession undid the boost that Tuesday's surprise Federal Reserve interest rate cut gave to global markets. Safe-haven government bonds and the yen, which tend to rise as investors pare risky trades, gained ground. Commodities, including oil, sagged on nagging fears that slower global growth will hurt demand.

  • GM pulls just ahead of Toyota in '08 global sales
    By Jui Chakravorty Das DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp on Wednesday reported worldwide sales of 9.37 million vehicles in 2007, coming in just ahead of Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp in a closely watched race for the top spot in global sales. GM, which was expected to lose its title of the world's largest automaker for the first time in 76 years, sold 9,369,524 vehicles in 2007. Toyota sold about 9,366,000 units, a source told Reuters on Wednesday. The Japanese automaker earlier this month publicly announced global sales of 9.37 million for 2007, saying it would disclose more precise figures in late January. GM said its total global sales rose 3 percent from a year earlier, driven by strong growth in regions outside North America. Still, the two automakers are neck-and-neck, with only about 3,500 vehicles separating them at a time when Toyota has been growing in the United States -- the world's single largest market for vehicle sales -- while GM's domestic market s
  • GM global sales in 2007 about even with Toyota's
    DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp on Wednesday reported global sales of 9.37 million vehicles in 2007, sharing the mantle of the world's largest automaker with Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp for the first time in 76 years. GM said its total global sales rose 3 percent from a year earlier, driven by strong growth in regions outside North America. The automaker said it sold 9,369,524 vehicles in 2007, while Toyota said last week it sold 9.37 million vehicles, and noted Wednesday more precise figures should be available by the end of the month. The tie comes at a time when Toyota has been growing in the United States -- the world's single largest market for vehicle sales -- while GM's domestic sales have been slipping. But the U.S. automaker has been increasing market share outside the United States, where sales accounted for 59 percent of the total tally. Since 1998, GM's global sales have grown at an average annual rate of about 1.5 percent, while Toyota's growth rate ha
  • Global unemployment rate to climb in 2008 - ILO
    By Laura MacInnis GENEVA (Reuters) - More people will be out of work in 2008 as a result of global economic cooling, and any major slowdown could cause disruption and further hike unemployment, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) said on Thursday. In a report issued in the wake of heavy losses in world stock markets, and amid growing fears of worldwide recession, the United Nations agency said the world unemployment rate would climb to 6.1 percent this year from 6.0 percent in 2007. Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, head of the ILO's employment sector, said the jitters that bled world markets this week had not yet trickled through to employment figures, which are considered a lagging indicator of world economic health. But he said the 2008 projections may turn out to be overly bright if the world economy expands by less than the 4.8 percent estimated by the International Monetary Fund. "This scenario ... would obviously be worse if global growth turns out to be less

  • GLOBAL MARKETS - Stocks wilt as Fed boost fades, bonds climb
    By Ian Chua LONDON (Reuters) - Persistent worries about a U.S. recession undid the boost that Tuesday's surprise U.S. interest rate cut gave to global markets, sending European stocks lower on Wednesday and setting the scene for a fall on Wall Street. Safe-haven government bonds and the yen, which tends to rise as investors pare risky trades, gained ground, while commodities including oil sagged on nagging fears that demand will be hurt by slower global growth. "The recovery in risk appetite after the Fed cut was only temporary," said Niels From, currency strategist at Dresdner Kleinwort in Frankfurt. "After digesting the news, markets have come to the conclusion that it will not resolve problems in the U.S. economy and this is weighing on the carry trade, supporting funding currencies like the yen."

Our society now is more on a high technology gadgets, equipments and tools used in our industry that makes our economy grow.

  • The Internet isn't global - it's local
    People tend to work not very far from where they were born -- indeed, in the UK, the average commuting distance to work is just 8 miles. Most people in the UK, live within about 10 miles of where they were born. We don't actually travel as far as would like to think.So why is business, the Internet and everything we read about the way society is going emphasising the global? You would think that from the concentration on being international we all lived in a world where we are constantly travelling, constantly in touch with people from thousands of miles away and constantly buying things from shops that we can't possibly visit because they're on the other side of the planet.However, many of the people on a teenager's social network are actually kids they meet at school or in the town's youth club.

  • Global warming causes older Arctic sea ice to almost disappear
    A new study using satellite measurements has revealed that thick Arctic sea ice older than nine years, had all but disappeared by 2007, because of global warming.   According to a report in Discovery News, this older ice is giving way to thinner ice which is only two or three years old. In fact, the new ice now accounts for 58 percent of the ice cover -- up from 35 percent in the mid-1980s.   "The thinning is consistent with long-term warming," said ice researcher James Maslanik of the University of Colorado in Boulder.   The thinner ice that's now dominating the Arctic is more vulnerable to ridging - the crumpling into ridged rafts of ice - or melting, said the report.   Either way, there will be more open water, which can absorb summer sunlight and warm up the Arctic even further, the report added.   The key to the new sea ice measurements is data from the laser altimeter onboard NASA's Ice, Cloud and Elevation Satellite (ICE-Sat).   Using the
  • Global carbon trade rose 80 pct last year - group
    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Trade in the world greenhouse gas credits market rose 80 percent last year as emissions rules became a concern for more companies, a carbon analysis group said on Friday. Global carbon credit trade rose to $60 billion in 2007, from $33 billion the previous year, according Point Carbon, an Oslo-based group of greenhouse gas analysts and consultants. Total traded volume in the global market reached 2.7 billion tonnes of greenhouse emissions reductions in 2007, a 64 percent jump in the same period. The UN's climate panel last year squarely blamed human actions for global warming. Carbon trade allows companies that have cut emissions under a set limit to sell credits representing the reductions to slower-moving players. It is seen as a major way to spur clean technologies that are hoped to slow and then decrease global emissions. The United States, the world's largest greenhouse gas polluter, has not yet regulated the gases scientists blame for warming the pla
  • GLOBAL MARKETS - World markets weigh U.S. stimulus package
    By Clive McKeef NEW YORK (Reuters) - World stocks steadied on Friday after sharp falls earlier this week as investors digested the likely impact of an economic stimulus package announced by President George W. Bush to help avert a potential U.S. recession. Major bond markets were also little changed after sharp falls in yields earlier this week, and the U.S. dollar steadied also. Bush called for a package of tax cuts and other measures totaling around 1.0 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, or about $140 billion, amid bleak reports on retail sales and other data this week suggesting a possible recession. Under consideration in the talks with the Democratic-led Congress are ideas like tax rebates, incentives for businesses, and extensions of unemployment insurance.

Need I say more?And in this related New York Times opinion column from last Saturday, Alaska Repug governor Sarah Palin makes a few disingenuous arguments against listing the polar bear as endangered, including this one…“(It would be) based on uncertain modeling of possible effects.”That’s some fancy language that transl
