Foreclosure Picture Worsens as Job Crisis Deepens
Washington reports show about one in ten U S households missed at least one mortgage payment and more than two million homes repossessed since the recession began. Despite a small drop in new unemployment claims the rate remains high as Bernanke attends a Jackson Hole conference and the mortgage market shows ongoing distress.

HP raises bid to buy 3Par surpassing Dell offer
Hewlett-Packard increases its cash bid to 27 dollars per share or about 1.69 billion for 3Par Inc., topping Dell's 24.30 dollar per share offer. Dell had previously bid 18 dollars per share and 3Par accepted the second offer. Analysts note both PC makers seek 3Par to bolster cloud computing and cut storage costs, with 3Par’s value rising from about 10 dollars pre-bid. Revenue for 3Par last year was 194 million dollars.

Gulf spill spurs boom in some areas and bust elsewhere
An Associated Press analysis shows mixed economic effects from the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, saw an 80 percent rise in June sales tax receipts due to cleanup work, while Vermilion Parish suffered a 45 percent drop. Across 39 Gulf counties, a net modest sales tax increase occurred as tourism, fishing, and drilling faced downturns and a federal moratorium loomed. Frontline locales like Plaquemines also benefited from spill-related jobs and services, though overall outlook remains uncertain.
