      The United Nations News Center reported on Thursday that the Food Price Index, an indicator of global food prices, fell for the third consecutive month in June.

      However, the the new report is overshadowed by looming concerns by the U.N. that the punishing heat endured by Americans in the Midwest will also see a sharp end to that price drop in July. The increase in price would be due to the effect of extreme heat on U.S. corn and soybean production, as reported by Reuters.

      Here's a closer look at the current food prices index and what the outlook will be for July.

      U.N. Group reports nearly all indexes down from May: The UN Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) press release showed the FAO Food Price Index was down four points, or 1.8 percent, from May at 201 points. Cereal was at 221 points, unchanged from May, while meat fell by 1.3 percent, dairy 1.5 percent, and sugar down 1.6 percent from May.

      The oil and fats price has dropped

    • Where Did You Take Your Kids for a Ride Last Summer #3



      Yes we cycled for years around the world. But just a stone's throw from our house the countryside has also got jewels to offer. That's what Delphine enjoys in this short video, riding across minor mountain ranges between Grenoble and Annecy, with our daughter Lirio in tow. Yet another video to show that having a baby shouldn't stop you from enjoying a lifestyle that makes you happy.

      Shot in the Belledonne and the Bauges, French Alps.

    • Slim Beats Gates in First Daily Billionaire Ranking - Test R26

      Carlos Slim, the telecommunications tycoon who controls Mexico's America Movil SAB (AMXL), is the richest person on Earth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world's 20 wealthiest individuals.

      The 72-year-old's net worth fell $478.4 million in a day to $68.5 billion as of the close of markets on March 2, as U.S. moguls Bill Gates and Warren Buffett placed second and third on the list compiled by Bloomberg News. Brazil's Eike Batista, who ranks 10th, still covets the top spot after vowing a year ago that he'd become the world's wealthiest man by 2015.

      "I'm competitive," Batista, who trails Slim by almost $39 billion, said in a March 2 telephone interview from Rio de Janeiro. "It's Brazil's time to be No. 1. Brazilians have always admired the American dream. What's happening in Brazil is the Brazilian dream and I happen to be the example."

      The Bloomberg Billionaires Index takes measure of the world's wealthiest people based on market and

      More on Yahoo: Ex-NFL Football Player Comes to the Rescue in Bus Crash

      Though Doherty made his run look easy (after several unsuccessful tries), consider that MegaRamp skateboarders must soar at least 70 feet across one gap, land on a downhill ramp leading to a sheer quarterpipe wall. They then must soar high above the quarterpipe and negotiate a successful landing without anything but hands and gravity to keep the board underfoot.

      (To get an idea of how heavy the consequences may be for MegaRamp riders, see footage of Jake Brown's world-famous slam during the 2007 X Games. Brown, somehow, made a full recovery.)

      In recent years, a handful of younger skaters have boldly climbed to the top of the MegaRamp, zoomed downward and never looked back.

      Most notable among this younger generation was Mitchie Brusco, who last year, at 14, became only the second person to perform a 900-degree rotation above the quarterpipe wall. MegaRamp pioneer Bob Burnquist was the first to land a 900, in

      WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama wants to close dozens of loopholes that let some companies pay little or nothing in taxes. But he also wants to open new ones for manufacturers and companies that invest in clean energy.

      To some analysts, the new loopholes risk upending the level playing field Obama says he wants to create.

      Some also fear that companies could game the system to grab the new tax breaks.

      "The administration is not making sense," says Martin Sullivan, contributing editor at publisher Tax Analysts. "The whole idea of corporate tax reform is to get rid of loopholes, and this plan is adding loopholes back in."

      Economists across the political spectrum support a kind of grand bargain: cut corporate tax rates while deleting tax breaks that benefit a favored few.

      The plan the government rolled out Wednesday goes a long way toward doing that. It lowers the official corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent. And it eliminates many tax

      Here is a short article.

      If it's been a while since you filled up, you might be in for a rude awakening the next time you visit the gas station. Prices have been rising steadily in the past few weeks on skyrocketing crude oil prices; the cost of a gallon of regular gas stands at $3.57, up 19 cents from a month ago. The rise has given fodder to Republican presidential candidates seeking an angle of economic attack on President Barack Obama and put another wrinkle in Americans' tight budgets.
