...been expecting $70 per share. The firm now expects overall operating earnings for the S&P 500 to fall 34% in 2009. In lowering its estimate, Credit Suisse analysts added a note of caution to the grim forecast: "We worry that while financial earnings have already seen considerable weakness, non-financial earnings have further to fall."

Though the current contract for dining-hall workers includes anti-discrimination language, it is not as strong as the language for students, nor does it outline any mechanism of action to take when an offense occurs.
