Underemployment Widespread Among College Graduates, Worst For Business Majors: Analysis

2013-06-18T17:41:32Z

Kathryn Higgins wants to work in museums. But even though she holds a bachelor's degree in literary and cultural studies and a master’s degree in public humanities, she knows that finding a job that fits her education and skills would be like “winning the lottery.”

“My ultimate goal right now is just to get a full-time job that has benefits; I don’t care if it’s in my field,” she said in an interview.

Higgins, 29, lives in Seattle and works several part-time jobs, including as a nanny and in a daycare, that don't require a college degree -- a “hustle" that she says allows her to just make ends meet.

Kanye West's highly anticipated album "Yeezus" hit stores on Tuesday. While widespread leaks made much of the album unsurprising, the track listing for West's controversial song "I Am a God" includes one unexpected collaborator.

The official tracklisting on the iTunes store lists the third track on "Yeezus" as "I Am a God (feat. God)." While the album also includes collaborations with Frank Ocean, Daft Punk, Chief Keef, and Kid Cudi, the only official collaborator listed on the tracklisting is "God."

World's Richest People Got 10 Percent Wealthier In 2012: Study

2013-06-18T17:36:27Z

By Jennifer Hoyt Cummings

June 18 (Reuters) - The number of millionaires in the world jumped 9.2 percent to 12 million last year, in part because of simultaneous strength in the stock, bond and real estate markets, according to a study of the high-net-worth population.

The survey, released Tuesday by RBC Wealth Management and Capgemini Financial Services, tracked high-net-worth people, whom it defined as those with more than $1 million that they can invest.

North America was home to the highest number of millionaires - 3.7 million. But the study projected that the Asia-Pacific region, which held the top spot in 2011, would reclaim it.

Part of the strength in North America came from rising equities markets - the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index gained 13 percent in 2012. North American investors put 37 percent of their money into stocks, a higher proportion than people in the Asia-Pacific region, where investors tend to be more conservative, the study said.

The amount of wealth held by the world's richest people also increased substantially, rising 10 percent to $46.2 trillion, well above the pre-economic crisis level of $40.7 trillion in 2007. The study forecast high-net-worth wealth would increase 6.5 percent annually to $55.8 trillion by 2015, mainly because of growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The survey found that 53 percent of wealthy U.S. individuals would prefer to have a single firm handle their financial accounts. However, a 2011 study from Boston-based research firm Aite Group showed more than half of high-net worth investors held their money in four or more financial institutions.

"Having one super-adviser would be preferred, but finding someone who can do that well is hard," said Aite analyst Sophie Schmitt.

The RBC-Capgemini survey polled more than 4,000 high-net-worth people globally in February and March, including 736 Americans.

Zyprexa Relprevv: FDA Probes Deaths Of Two Patients On Schizophrenia Drug

2013-06-18T17:28:20Z

By Ransdell Pierson

June 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating the cases of two individuals who died after injections with Eli Lilly and Co's long-acting treatment for schizophrenia, Zyprexa Relprevv.

Both patients died three to four days after receiving "an appropriate dose" of the medicine, and both had very high levels of the drug in their bloodstreams, the FDA said in a bulletin released on its website on Tuesday.

The medicine's package insert carries a prominent "black box" warning of risk from post-injection delirium sedation syndrome, or PDSS, a serious condition in which the drug enters the blood too fast following an injection, causing greatly elevated levels of the drug in the bloodstream. High doses of the drug can cause delirium, cardiopulmonary arrest, heart rhythm problems, sedation and coma, the FDA said.

Lilly said it was not clear whether the two deaths were related to use of the drug.

"We are continuing to evaluate this important safety issue and will communicate any clinically significant safety information that affects the product," Lilly spokesman Morry Smulevitz said in an emailed statement.

In Lilly's clinical trials of Zyprexa Relprevv, cases of PDSS were seen within three hours of taking the drug, but no deaths from the syndrome were seen, the FDA said.

Zyprexa Relprevv, approved by the FDA in 2009, comes with warnings that patients must stay at the doctor's office for at least three hours after it is given so they can be monitored.

The drug is a long-acting version of Lilly's widely used oral Zyprexa treatment, which was the company's biggest product until it began facing competition from cheaper generics in 2011.

Zyprexa Relprevv competes with other long-acting treatments such as Johnson & Johnson's Invega Sustenna. It is meant to offer weeks of symptom control for schizophrenia patients, who often fail to take their medication regularly.

The Lilly spokesman said Zyprexa Relprevv's global sales were "less than $60 million" in 2012. Lilly has annual sales of more than $20 billion.

Global sales of Lilly's Zyprexa franchise plunged 49 percent to $284 million in the first quarter of 2013 as cheaper generics continued to gain market share.

Lilly shares were down 6 cents to $52.30 in early-afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Austin Mahone On His New Single And Summer Tour (With Taylor Swift!)

2013-06-18T17:24:28Z

By Casey Lewis

Just before embarking on an epic summer vacation, which he'll be spending touring the country with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, 17-year-old Austin Mahone made a quick stop in New York City to visit us at the Teen Vogue offices. OK, technically, he was in town to promote his new single "What About Love" on The Today Show. But he did make time to dodge through screaming girls in Times Square to pay us a visit!

The thing about Austin is that he's really, really cool. Ten minutes into hanging out, he was taking off his shoes (super rad Nike kicks) and showing us his socks (made by Trukfit and designed by none other than Lil Wayne). In addition to spilling about all things fashion, the rising star opened up about Taylor Swift, summer concerts, and girls.

Trespasser Arrested For Creeping On Rihanna's Roof

2013-06-18T17:22:24Z

Well this is bizarre -- a man was arrested last night for tiptoeing around Rihanna's roof ... but lucky for the singer, security guards nabbed the guy before he made it much further.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, private security guards near Rihanna's Pacific Palisades property called police just after 10 PM, reporting they had detained the 26-year-old alleged trespasser. Guards then held the man until officers arrived, and turned him over. The man was subsequently placed under arrest.

Deric Lostutter Legal Defense: Fund Grows For KYAnonymous, Who Helped Expose Steubenville Rapists

2013-06-18T17:21:39Z

Deric Lostutter, who may face hacking charges after helping expose details in the Steubenville rape case, is getting a hand from supporters. As of Tuesday morning, his legal defense fund had collected more than $49,000.

"There is nothing that we would like more than the government to come to its senses and decide not to charge Deric and for us to be able to return all the funds to the wonderful people who have showed him support," his attorney, Jason Flores-Williams of the Whistleblower Defense League, told The Huffington Post on Monday. "Unfortunately, our indications are that that isn't going to happen, so we are preparing for a vigorous fight."

Flores-Williams said he believes the Justice Department will indict Lostutter, 26, on alleged felony violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

These days, a humbled Westwood finds itself in the unexpected position of turning to a resurgent downtown for ideas.
