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 Un

From Middle East Online :   Study finds that Muslim pilgrimage experience promotes peace, harmony, women's rights. HARVARD, Massachusetts – A study on the longer-term effect of participating in the Islamic pilgrimage found that Muslims communities have become more open in many ways after the Hajj experience. The study, published by Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, says that hajj – Muslim pilgrimage - urges equality and harmony. "It increases belief in equality and harmony among ethnic groups and Islamic sects and leads to more favorable attitudes toward women, including greater acceptance of female education and employment," the study found.

Método de Harvard - La Negociación Basada en Intereses  “En una guerra todos pierden, incluyendo al ‘vencedor’, quien en realidad es sólo el que pierde menos”Por Manuel Gross OssesLa característica del autoritarismo todavía es una parte sustancial de la idiosincrasia chilena y, por lo tanto, aflora en todas partes, en todo momento y en (casi) todas las personas. Obviamente, consiste en creerse dueño absoluto de la verdad, simultáneamente con creer que los que no están de acuerdo son enemigos o, en el mejor de los casos, unos tontos incapaces de ver esa verdad “revelada”. El fortalecimiento de la democracia pasa por la eliminación, o por lo menos la atenuación, de esas actitudes di

Harvard has been all over the news lately, those attention whores. First, they kicked off the whole undergraduate financial aid increase movement that several other schools have joined in on (here). Then they futilely (in my opinion) attempted to do something to convince their law students to work for the forces of good as opposed to the force$ of evil (here).And then just last week, it was the People's Elbow to the faces of transfer students everywhere (here). As you can see from the comments on that post, people are pissed off. And they should be. How can you make applications due by February and then suddenly a month later announce that you're not going to be accepting anyone for the next two years? Poor poor planning. Good luck to all of you who are stuck in this boat. Someone

If you had your heart set on transferring to Harvard, you're in for a bit of disappointment. Harvard announced that they're putting a moratorium on transfer students for the next two academic years.The reason? A student housing shortage. Doesn't Harvard own pretty much all of Harvard Square? Many of you probably weren't reading this blog back in October, but I blogged about how Harvard let a space sit vacant for 7 years because they wanted to handpick their tenant (here). Way to not plan ahead guys.That pretty much ruins it for most current students. Assuming you're a freshman right now, by the time the moratorium is up, it'll be your senior year. No one spends three years at a school they don't like and then transfers just for their senior year.Click (here) for the Globe article.P

Someone is going to have to explain the math to me because it doesn't really make any sense - but I'll get to that later. Harvard Law School announced yesterday that they will now waive your last year of tuition if you promise to commit to work in public service for five years.One year of tuition runs around 41K. For arguments sake, let's say that's equal to about 60K in pre-tax dollars. Spread out over the five years, that's 12K per year. Now let's look at what the Globe says average salaries are:"First-year salaries at firms with more than 500 lawyers rose last year to $145,000""The current entry level salary for prosecutors in Massachusetts is $37,500"Assuming the corporate lawyer gets no pay raises over the first five years that he/she works (highly unlikely). That's still over $

Harvard Medical School researchers have argued against taking a daily multivitamin, pointing to studies that show that vitamins B6, B12, antioxidants, and folic acid in multivitamins do not prevent disease, while an excess of folic acid may actually cause cancer. An estimated 35 percent of U.S. adults take multivitamins regularly. Recent randomized clinical trials show that B-vitamin supplements don't prevent heart disease. One U.S. study has shown that people who took folic acid had more colorectal adenomas and more prostate cancers than those who took a placebo.

Nicolas Retsinas, director of Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, says in this interview with the Wall Street Journal that the housing market is cooling because lenders overlend, builders overbuild, and consumers now expect a drop in prices. We really don’t need a degree from Harvard to figure that one out, but he also finds a few noteworthy facts. First of all, Retsinas finds a stickiness to home prices. It is interesting that home prices have been so resilient even in this down market. He points out that most of the homes for sale are by people who live in them and if they don’t get the price they want then they just stay. So, perhaps he’s suggesting that consumer expectations are misguided on falling prices. Secondly, he finds that immigrants accounted for 40% of new households in the past 5 years and that the long term outlook for housing is good because of the expectation that this trend will continue. Demand for housing has long been vie
