The bank stepped in to prop up the stock from dipping below its $38 IPO price yesterday, said people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the purchases were private. Morgan Stanley, based in New York, was the only underwriter among Facebook’s 33 banks with the responsibility to support the shares, the people said.
Just when you thought the space program was finished, commercial space travel begins. Watch the takeoff live at the link below. This is great. I used to have to drive for hours to watch the Space Shuttle take off in Cape Canaveral and it was always a big let down if it didn’t blast off the day of going up there, but when the Space Shuttle did launch, it was like a big white trash street party, oh, the Eighties. Now I can sit at home and watch this from a computer screen, LIVE ACTION at it’s best.

A bunch of Gibberish and a dirty Camp David. Just joking, I’m not really sure what would come of that, it just sounded like the start of a joke. The G8, an elitist collection of nations that discusses the future from within the leadership amongst the top politically armed and monetarily strong countries of the world, will again meet to play with the outcome of the European debt crisis? Really they will just be laughing at how they’re portfolios were let down on opening day with the Facebook offering and taking pictures together, but for press purposes they’ll keep it focused on Greece for now. Is there a global recession already afoot with Greece just being the first “nation card” to fall?

The story of the blind escape from Chinese authorities of Chen Guangcheng is about to have a happy ending for now as he appears to be able to leave China and come to the United States. It is not often that terms are reached quickly to solve international political problems like this, but this case seems to be an exception.
Chen Guangcheng is allowed to leave China for the United States
Lifestyle or a mathematical conclusion is the theory of the day and this is the best article we have ever linked on Live Action News, the logic makes sense in several ways.
The epidemic was caused by the overproduction of food in the United States.
Interestingly, we saw that Americans are wasting food at a progressively increasing rate. If Americans were to eat all the food that’s available, we’d be even more obese.

Carson C. Chow deploys mathematics to solve the everyday problems of real life. As an investigator at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, he tries to figure out why 1 in 3 Americans are obese.
The dollar remained steady, albeit in a lower range, against the yen during Asian trading Friday after it fell overnight to a three-month low following weaker U.S. manufacturing data.

I don’t say you win when you lose to be funny, it’s true in an economic climate when you need to drive the economy. By China keeping their currency at a lower that market value a Chinese business that exports can benefit from the variation in the currency value. Therefore when the Yen is strong against the dollar it is bad for Japanese businesses who have to sell their product at higher prices when they are exporting to the US market. Currently with the Yen at this level it is hard to imagine that the Japanese economy can grow through exports to the United States, but this should be a great time for exports from the United States to go into Japan. Eventually something will happen, but for now it’s good to have a weak currency when your economy at home is faltering.
Although this is a funny skit on Saturday Night Live it made me think of two relating facts. One, if people stop buying stuff then a recession is obvious going to happen because the growth of the US economy is based on over consumption. Two, if you love the environment you will also support the recession as it is also a recessionary act to use less stuff. Basic stuff, but it seems likely that frugality and environmental conservation are bad for the economy. I remember once hearing that the Sierra Club was against illegal immigration because the immigrants that come to the United States consume more as a result of a higher standard of living. That seems backwards for an otherwise politically liberal group, but it does make more sense on a purely “use of resources” type of logic. About the same can be said for my conclusions here, it’s just the obvious result of changing behaviors away from over-consumption and over-indulgence. Today I even heard that the water company in San Jose wants to raise rates because people are conserving and using less water, which just goes to show you we can’t stop inflation by conserving the environment, it will just cost more.
