Yo-Yo Ma strikes right note

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 07 Desember 2012 | 22.26

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma wowed students yesterday with a performance at Harvard's iLab and urged them to find new, collaborative ways of solving cultural problems.

"Our hope is that we will be able to find amongst all of you new thinking, new discoveries," he told students.

Ma's performance with his traveling Silk Road Ensemble, an eclectic group of musicians from across the globe, marked the launch of the Deans' Cultural Entrepreneurship Challenge, a university-wide competition encouraging students to work across majors and across colleges to develop solutions that support the arts and artists in a sustainable manner.

"Undergrads feel a lot of pressure. 'Oh, my God, I have to pay back my loans,' " Ma told the Herald after the performance. "But there are people who create their own jobs. So don't close off doors. Keep looking. If you go a little farther, you can find something incredibly worthwhile, something society hasn't moved quickly enough to help."

Nitin Nohria, dean of Harvard Business School, said the challenge was developed in partnership with Ma and his not-for-profit, the Silk Road Project, after the cellist raised the possibility of working together over dinner one night.

"Most ideas that come from electric dinners die," Nohria said. "I'm very grateful this idea didn't. It's a dream to have this interface between the arts and entrepreneurship. The world is not going to be a place we want to live in if we don't have the arts."

Diana Sorensen, dean of arts and humanities, said she hopes the competition will result in "inspired but practical" ideas for ways that artists can support themselves and still do what they love.

The challenge is one of two competitions recently announced by Harvard University. The Deans' Health and Life Sciences Challenge will kick off on Dec. 11 with a talk at the iLab by Richard Lee of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Both competitions offer a grand prize of $75,000 to be awarded to the winner and runners-up to support their projects. Finalist teams selected in March and April will receive financial support to further their projects before the Demo Day, when they will showcase their work. Winners and runners-up will be selected in May.

Investors bracing for fall

Companies have been awarding special dividends to beat an anticipated tax hike next year, but as uncertainty about the "fiscal cliff" continues, the path for the average investor is less clear.

Some financial experts say it's time to sell stocks to avoid higher capital gains taxes next year, but others advise snapping up those shares that tax-wary investors are dumping.

"There's a big cloud over all of us today because of all this uncertainty and how that will affect the stock market," said Art Ford, a certified public accountant and financial planner at Sullivan Bille in Tewksbury. "There's a concern people may lose money if they don't do something."

If Congress fails to reach an agreement by Dec. 31 on how to reduce the deficit, steep cuts in federal spending will take effect, and the Bush tax cuts will expire.

"The usual tax strategy is to defer income and accelerate deductions," said Jim Bailey, tax partner at Blum Shapiro in Rockland. "But given the fact that rates may rise next year, we've been advising clients to consider doing just the opposite."

Unless Congress acts, the capital gains tax rate, for example, will go from 15 percent to 20 percent for most filers. So someone who paid $30 for a share of a stock that's now worth $100 could sell it this year, pay 15 percent on it and buy it back next year at $100, Bailey said.

Other advisers are suggesting that clients accumulate cash in their portfolios.

"I'm not selling stocks," said Barry Armstrong, president of Armstrong Advisory Group, a Needham wealth-management firm. "The closer we get to the 21st (of December), when Congress is expected to go home, the worse it'll be for stocks."

Instead, Armstrong is buying what everybody else is selling because those stocks are cheaper now than they most likely will be next year.

Evan Dangel, senior vice president at Morgan Stanley, said the likelihood that Congress is going to reach an agreement by the end of the year is "slim to none."

"We think taxes are going to be higher next year no matter what," Dangel said.

His advice is four-fold:

• Sell some stocks to realize long-term capital gains in your portfolio because the tax rate now is only 15 percent.

• Make sure you've contributed as much as you can to your 401(k).

• For the wealthiest taxpayers, deductions for charitable donations could be curtailed next year, so accelerate any charitable giving you plan to do this year.

• The stock dividend tax rate, which is now 15 percent, will probably be higher next year. People in the highest tax bracket, for example, could end up paying more than 40 percent. So you should consider tax-free municipal bonds and invest in stocks that don't pay dividends.

Dr. Timothy Johnson retires after 40 years at Ch. 5

Dr. Timothy Johnson is retiring from Channel 5 — where the nationally renowned TV doctor got his small screen start — after a 40-year run as the Boston station's award-winning medical editor that led to a slot on "Good Morning America."

"It just seemed like the right time," Johnson said yesterday, just before his WCVB-TV colleagues feted him with a farewell party.

"Forty years is a nice, round number, and I'm 76. I don't want to feel any responsibility to the daily news anymore," he said.

Johnson came to the Bay State to take a job as director of emergency services at Union Hospital in Lynn and later became a fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital.

One of his doctor friends was among the group that launched WCVB in 1972 and asked Johnson to host a new show called "House Call."

Johnson caught the eye of ABC and was invited to appear on "Good Morning America" when it debuted in 1975. He took a full-time job with ABC News in 1984. He stopped actively practicing medicine off-screen that same year.

"I loved medicine, and I loved practicing it," Johnson said. "I loved the emergency room, but I was aware that this was a wonderful way to reach out to a wide audience with information."

He was born and raised in Illinois. He wanted to be a minister but during seminary training he decided to become a doctor after seeing how they could help people "very directly."

Among the people his TV career led him to was a Boston detective dying of Lou Gehrig's disease who spoke "very movingly" about his faith. He died two weeks after Johnson interviewed him. Johnson recalled sitting in his car, "kind of crying about this man who was just a magnificent human being and clearly knew he was dying."

During his Channel 5 career, Johnson also reported on the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's brain cancer, interviewed former Gov. Mitt Romney and Gov. Deval Patrick about health-care reform, and sat down with medical titans and patients battling grim illnesses.

Johnson, who retired from ABC in 2010, said despite all his years on television, he never felt like a TV personality.

"I've always felt like a doctor who just happens to be on TV," said Johnson, who lives in Marblehead with his wife of nearly 50 years. "I've really always felt like I'm talking to patients, rather than doing any kind of performance."

US economy adds 146K jobs, rate falls to 7.7 pct.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008. The government said Superstorm Sandy had only a minimal effect on the figures.

The Labor Department's report on Friday offered a mixed picture for the economy.

Hiring remained steady during the storm and in the face of looming tax increases. But the government said employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September than initially estimated.

And the unemployment rate fell to a four-year low in November from 7.9 percent in October mostly because more people stopped looking for work and weren't counted as unemployed.

There were signs that the storm disrupted economic activity. Construction employment dropped 20,000. And weather prevented 369,000 people from getting to work — the most in almost two years. They were still counted as employed.

Stock futures jumped after the report. Dow Jones industrial average futures were down 20 points in the minutes before the report came out at 8:30 a.m., and just after were up 70 points.

As money moved into stocks, it moved out of safer bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which moves opposite the price, rose to 1.63 percent from 1.58 percent just before the report.

Since July, the economy has added an average of 158,000 jobs a month. That's a modest pickup from 146,000 in the first six months of the year.

The increase suggests employers are not yet delaying hiring decisions because of the "fiscal cliff." That's the combination of sharp tax increases and spending cuts that are set to take effect next year without a budget deal.

Retailers added 53,000 positions while temporary help companies added 18,000 and education and health care also gained 18,000.

Auto manufacturers added nearly 10,000 jobs.

Still, overall manufacturing jobs fell 7,000. That was pushed down by a loss of 12,000 jobs in food manufacturing that likely reflects the layoff of workers at Hostess.

Sandy forced restaurants, retailers and other businesses to close in late October and early November in 24 states, particularly in the Northeast.

The U.S. grew at a solid 2.7 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter. But many economists say growth is slowing to a 1.5 percent rate in the October-December quarter, largely because of the storm and threat of the fiscal cliff. That's not enough growth to lower the unemployment rate.

The storm held back consumer spending and income, which drive economic growth. Consumer spending declined in October and work interruptions caused by Sandy reduced wages and salaries that month by about $18 billion at an annual rate, the government said.

Still, many say economic growth could accelerate next year if the fiscal cliff is avoided. The economy is also expected to get a boost from efforts to rebuild in the Northeast after the storm.

U.S. adds jobs but labor market still struggles

The U.S. economy has been bolstered by the addition of 146,000 jobs last month yet a drop in the unemployment rate is "misleading" because it reflects more people leaving the work force, according to one expert.

"For every job being created, about two people left the labor force," said Michael Goodman, a University of Massachusetts Dartmouth public policy professor. "That does not mean positive job growth isn't good for those 146,000 people and their families. It's extremely good news and a step in the right direction for them and the country."

The unemployment rate dropped two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008. The U.S. government added Hurricane Sandy had only a small effect on the national figures even though the construction sector lost 20,000 jobs.

However, employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September than initially estimated. People who have stopped looking for work are not counted as unemployed.

"We've got a recovery that's underway but we have a profound long-term unemployment problem that's making it very difficult for workers across the country," Goodman said. "Those two things can happen at the same time and they are happening at the same time."

Goodman added that the looming "fiscal cliff" deadline would cause employers to hold off hiring new workers until there's more certainty about tax increases, as opposed to simply laying people off.

Reconstruction efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy — particularly in New York and New Jersey — would also "put some wind in the sails in the national construction industry," Goodman said.

"Over time I think reconstruction efforts should be expected to create opportunities for firms and for workers who are going to put New York and New Jersey back together again," he said.

Herald wire services contributed to this report.

Toll Brothers 4Q net income soars on tax benefit

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 04 Desember 2012 | 22.27

NEW YORK — Toll Brothers says its fiscal fourth-quarter net income soared, helped by a large income tax benefit and a 46 percent rise in revenue. The luxury homebuilder delivered more homes and its order backlog increased.

Its shares rose almost 4 percent in premarket trading.

CEO Douglas C. Yearley Jr. said in a statement on Tuesday that higher home prices, low interest rates, pent-up demand and improving consumer confidence prompted buyers to return to the housing market this year.

For the three months ended Oct. 31, Toll Brothers Inc. earned $411.4 million, or $2.35 per share. That's up sharply from $15 million, or 9 cents per share, a year ago. The latest quarter included an income tax benefit of $350.7 million.

Revenue increased 48 percent to $632.8 million, topping Wall Street's forecast of $565.1 million.

Babson College president to step down

Babson College's president, Len Schlesinger, will step down at the end of the academic year to spend more time with family.

The Wellesley business school said a search committee has been set up to find a successor to Schlesinger, who became the 12th Babson president in July 2008.

Schlesinger, a former executive at retailer Limited Brands and bakery and cafe chain Au Bon Pan, said in a statement that he wants to "reorient" his attention to family members.

"An orderly transition for the president's role over the coming months will make that possible," he said in a statement. "I value, above all, the opportunity to attend more closely to my mother at a time she requires closer support and more time as well with my children as they pursue their respective journeys locally, on the West Coast and in Australia."

Joseph Winn, chairman of Babson's board of trustees, said the school, which specializes in entrepreneurial studies, has "never been in a stronger position by almost every measure."

"The college has joined the ranks of America's elite schools and the opportunities that lie ahead for Babson have never been more exciting," Winn said. "The board shares Len's view that this is an opportune time to initiate a transition process."

The search committee -- led by cable technology entrepreneur and former New Hampshire Gov. Craig Benson -- will start working immediately, with "listening sessions" for the Babson community scheduled for later this week.

Carl Icahn gives up bid for truck maker Oshkosh

NEW YORK — Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is giving up his bid to buy truck maker Oshkosh after less than 25 percent of the company's shares were tendered before his offer expired.

Last week Icahn made it clear that he would walk away from his bid if the threshold wasn't met. The tender offer expired on Monday, with about 22 percent of the shares tendered.

Icahn, who is known for buying stakes in struggling companies and then shaking them up with mixed results, had previously maintained that Oshkosh Corp. needs new management and a new strategy.

But he had said that he would "move on to other endeavors" if he did not get at least 25 percent of Oshkosh's shares in the tender offer.

Oshkosh's stock fell 2.8 percent in premarket trading Tuesday.

New England jobless rate unchanged in October

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The unemployment rate in New England was unchanged in October and remains below the national average.

The New England Information Office of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday that the jobless rate in the six-state region was 7.4 percent in October, the same as in September. The regional rate was 7.5 percent a year ago.

Rhode Island's unemployment rate of 10.4 percent is the highest in New England and the second highest in the nation. Vermont's rate of 5.5 percent is the lowest in the region.

The national unemployment rate in October was 7.9 percent — down one percentage point from a year ago.

NU officials dispute breaking Conn. deal

HARTFORD, Conn. — Hartford-based Northeast Utilities is disputing allegations by Connecticut officials that the company broke a requirement to notify the state of any layoffs.

New England's largest utility company issued a statement Monday saying its interpretation of the reporting requirement is different than the one by state Attorney General George Jepsen and Consumer Counsel Elin Swanson Katz, and it will be filing a response with state regulators. Jepsen and Katz say NU broke the reporting rule and are demanding information about NU layoffs and staffing levels.

State officials say 319 employees have left NU since its $5 billion purchase of Boston's NStar [NST] was completed in April.

Jepsen says a settlement agreement with the state over the NStar deal requires NU to give 30 days advance notice to the state about any layoffs.
