Ahead of the Bell: US Wholesale Prices

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2012

Published Wednesday June 13, 2012 ";var zflag_nid="1431";var zflag_cid="150/149";var zflag_sid="1";var zflag_width="1";var zflag_height="1";var zflag_sz="31"; WASHINGTON (AP) - A steep fall in gas costs likely pushed down a measure of U.S. wholesale prices in May for the second straight month and by the most in nearly three years. Economists forecast that the producer price index likely dropped 0.6 percent last month, according to FactSet. That would be the steepest drop since July 2009, when food and gas prices were both plummeting. Still, excluding volatile food and gas prices, so-called "core" producer prices are expected to have risen just 0.2 percent. More expensive cars and trucks could push up the core, economists at JPMorgan forecast. The Labor Department will release the report at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time Friday. The index measures price changes before they reach the consumer. Modest wholesale inflation reduces pressure on manufacturers and retailers to raise prices. That helps keep consumer prices stable, which boosts buying power and drives economic growth. Consumer spending makes up 70 percent of economic activity. Mild inflation also gives the Federal Reserve room to hold interest rates at record-low levels and potentially take other steps to boost the economy. Gas prices have tumbled 40 cents since … Continue reading →

US wholesale prices fall by most in nearly 3 years

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2012

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A steep drop in gasoline costs drove down a measure of U.S. wholesale prices in May by the most since July 2009. But outside the food and energy categories, prices increased moderately. The producer price index fell 1 percent in May, after dropping 0.2 percent in April, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Gasoline prices dropped nearly 9 percent, the most in almost three years. Food costs also fell. The index measures price changes before they reach the consumer. Excluding food and energy, the so-called "core" index increased 0.2 percent, the same as in April. In the past 12 months, wholesale prices are up only 0.7 percent, the smallest gain since October 2009. The core index has risen 2.7 percent in the same period. That's the same pace as last month and down from a 12-month change of 3.1 percent in January. "Inflation really isn't that big an issue," said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. "Europe is a mess, oil prices are down, further declines in gasoline prices are coming and the U.S. economy is not growing strongly enough for any firm to have much pricing power."

The Connection Between Teen Pregnancy And Substance Abuse

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2012

Drama seems to be the story of Amber's life, but after all of her legal problems, struggles with substance abuse and issues with her explosive temper, it looks like rehab will finally provide her with the help she so desperately needs. Once she learns to control her anger, work on her drug dependency and improve her mental health, she can focus on becoming a family again with Gary and Leah. While Amber's concerns are unique to her, drug and alcohol use is not uncommon among teens. About two-thirds of high school freshmen report having tried alcohol at least once, 25 percent of all high school students say they drink heavily on occasion and nearly four in 10 high school students have tried marijuana. Risky behavior, like drinking or using drugs, lowers your inhibitions and affects your judgment, increasing the chance of taking further risks. It should make sense, then, that teens who drink and/or use drugs are often more sexually active and more likely to take risks when having sex. Translation: They're more likely to go farther than they may have wanted and less likely to use contraception. More than one-third of teens who have had sex say that they've … Continue reading →

Newer drugs help rheumatoid arthritis patients live longer

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2012

By Kathleen Doheny and Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD WebMD Health News Rheumatoid arthritis patients who take medications known as anti-TNFs may be treating more than their disease. According to new research presented at a European meeting, these patients may be less likely to have a heart attack and are more likely to live longer than those with RA who are not taking the drugs. In one study, the longer the patients take the anti-TNF drugs, the more protected they are from heart attacks. "The unique feature of this study is, we have tied the time on the drugs with the reduction of heart attacks and other problems," says researcher Michael Nurmohamed, MD, PhD, of the VU University Medical Centre and Jan van Breemen Research Institute in Reade, Netherlands. "After one year on anti-TNFs, we saw a 24% reduction, after two years, 42%, and after three years, 56%, compared to those not on the drugs," he tells WebMD. He presented the findings this week at EULAR 2012, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism. The study was funded by Abbott, which makes the anti-TNF drug Humira. At the same meeting, other researchers also reported those on biologic treatments … Continue reading →

Inmate died from 'drugs cocktail'

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2012

13 June 2012 Last updated at 01:17 ET By Vincent Kearney BBC NI home affairs correspondent Prisoner Ombudsman Pauline McCabe has said she is worried there is an acceptance of illegal drugs within Northern Ireland prisons. She made the comments after her report into the death of a Londonderry man who died after taking a cocktail of drugs in Maghaberry Prison in June last year. Patrick Duffy, 49, was on a range of prescription drugs for medical problems during his two months in the prison. It is believed he died after trading some of his tablets for illicit drugs. The day before his death he was given 63 different tablets, but only two were found in his cell after his death. It is believed Mr Duffy swapped the rest for a cocktail of three other illicit drugs, and died shortly after taking them. Ms McCabe has criticised the management of prescription drugs within the prison service. In a report published on Wednesday, she said it was inappropriate for Patrick Duffy to be issued with a week's supply as he had a history of overdose and self harming. Mr Duffy was committed to Maghaberry on remand on 20 April last year. … Continue reading →
