Couture took a hard knee to the chin in the clinch just before, then he got clocked with a hard right on the ear and went down. The stoppage was kind of OK ... but Lesnar has some weird rabbit punching which is not really becoming of a heavyweight - it's too "girly". Lesnar will have a short...

Brazilian president Lula said before he went to Washington: "Expect absolutely nothing from the US out of this meeting." And so it seems. A tougher landing it will be, and the US choses to go down fighting... But who cares at this juncture, it is what it is - and the US is being stubborn...

Jerry030, if you are using sliding window averages in your model, then why not use a larger time frame, or maybe even different models for different time periods - looking at "mood" and volatility during the whole session and last hour, closing minutes etc. There are so many different...

Thinking that Brazil will be well off now that the BRIC countries represent half of the world economy AND half the world population ... as well as considering that the world population will at least be 10 billion by 2050, and now Spanish researchers just prolonged the lifespan of mice by 40%...

His post was spot on the mark, although the logic sequence was not completely sound, the observations were good and important, I think. Much of philosophy becomes very difficult to accurately describe to others, since concepts and words do not accurately convey meanings or similar structures...

I would like to chime in support to the above post from user "I am..." There is a clear distinction in posts and content from those who have some insight into philosophy, and those who are simply social thumpers without a clue about what is really the significance of faith, religion and...

Nice of you to define the atheists you have a beef with as the ones who dare to speak up and criticize religion or Christianity. Then, those who say nothing - you say they have gotten a "bad wrap." Are you for real - how insane can you get? Also - Christmas - do you have the foggiest idea...

Calling someone fascist is easy, just check the trademarks/characteristics and you can easily tell if someone holds fascist ideas. Racist .. well, believing there are racial differences where one is superior to others - then one is a racist. There are no "races" per DNA, but rather regions...

This is nothing new... "Operation Condor" as it was called in South America, was a similar system, where fascist dictatorships supported by the US abducted, tortured and killed thousands of people all over South America - and is one of the main roots for the strong resentment against the US...

You're a neo-con?

The US has a long and great tradition for individualist anarchism - being able to count on yourself and reach your personal potential, but there is also another side where exploitation and disregard for others has accompanied the success stories of the US. This has been true of North America...

There were some interesting comments from traditional and mainstream conservatists on Fareed Zakaria GPS today, and denouncing the extremist neo-conservative views ... but it revolves much about "the US being exceptional" - and it clearly is not. When it comes to quality of life, education etc -...

I think Europe is much more free than the US of today. In the US, someone who is an atheist is less trusted in general than a gay person, criminal, muslim etc. The US is philosophically/individually a very constricted place nowadays, and there is very little regard for privacy rights in the US -...

You mean Soros talking about the philosophy of Karl Popper - on democracy, open society, individual freedom and humanitarianism - against totalitarianism, authoritarian rule, fascism, communism and neo-conservatism? You call it rants - but then you are probably a world class thinker... Leo...

I guess by your own power and influence ranking regime, that would make you about less than an insignificant nobody... a true piss-ant. :D

http://www.soros.org/resources/articles_publications/articles/europe_20061120 George Soros: In the past, the United States fulfilled its role as the leader of the free world. After the Second World War, the United States used its power and influence to establish the United Nations and the...

George Soros is no conservative and certainly no Zionist. :p ... if anything - he is a secular humanist, as a supporter of the "open society" theories of Karl Popper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_society

Rahm is seemingly "unfriendly" with regards to Iran, but Obama has a seemingly more conciliatory attitude so far... June 30, 2008 - Emanuel Statement on Bush Foreign Policy, New Reports on Al Qaeda, Post-War Planning in Iraq...

126.80-127 on the EURJPY is difficult, just as 1.2840 on the EURUSD. It seems this week has been "a lot about nothing" interspersed with fears. IFR market commentaries were very unhelpful this week, but overall the week was not very easy, although the Asian sessions were easier to trade. Less...

Rahm is apparently no neo-conservative... he is orthodox Jewish. http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Rahm_Emanuel_HouseMatch.htm http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Rahm_Emanuel_Foreign_Policy.htm http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Rahm_Emanuel.htm The only immediately disconcerting thing is his attitude...
