I recently caught the news about the latest Biggest Loser winner (so I'm a little slow - lol.) Ali Vincent is the first woman to ever win the contest and she looks AWESOME - muscular and lean! She lost 112 pounds training between 8-10 hours per day.
Man, I just can't imagine doing that! On the one hand, I'm SO inspired by her and on the other hand, I feel like such a loser because it's taken me

I name this post after the book I’m currently reading, The Age of Turbulence, by Alan Greenspan. I honestly didn’t quite know who Greenspan was before reading this book. I knew he had something to do with the American economy, and was the chairman or head of some government agency or something. But I wasn’t [...]
Chart courtesy of stockchartsKLAC - The stock broke support of $40 Wednesday on above average volume. KLAC can continue going down, because there is no supports below. Unless the KLAC can recover above the resistance at $40, the technical outlook for the stock will be bearish and we should reduce our exposure. Hard to say how far down it will go, since that depends on the strength of any selling.Chart courtesy of stockchartsAAPL - The worst is over? Good potential to move, but no buy signal yet. Keep watching this one.Chart courtesy of stockchartsC - The stock made a new 52-week low at $19.54 on Friday. Technically the stock is still in weak market as MACD is still below 0 and 50-day moving average is below 200-day moving average. Honestly speaking, this is still not the right time to buy
n the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it.

This is not a short term hiccup, as the Long Term Capital Management collapse was in late 1998. The credit markets have been showing signs of extreme distress for more than six months now (more on that below). Everyone is crying uncle–Uncle Sam, that is. Wall Street and Main Street, alike, have begged for various [...]

Review :
The first half of Green Spans book serves as a very interesting historical account of the economy of the united stats from when he began his career in the private sector until he finally left the FED in his last term. It includes his personal dealings and reactions to every president since Ford through our current President Bush. In his account, he includes economically based explanations for almost every major movement economy since President Ford.
While I have heard some complaints that the book is dry, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the book. It was very interesting to get a different perspective on the politics regulating and directing our economy. Because former Chairman Greenspan served many different advisory positions throughout a very long career, he is able to paint a clear picture of the choices each president made, and how they effected each successive president, the economy, and the nation as a whole.
The second half of the book is much more technica
On Oct. 3, Banco Santander successfully sold €7 billion worth of bonds to 129,000 retail investors to finance the acquisition of the Dutch bank ABN AMRO. The $9.9 billion in bonds were sold through the bank's branch network, which handles its private banking clients, and the average amount purchased by each investor was about €54,000.On the same day, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria introduced a mortgage-based financial product that provides home owners over the age of 65 a lifelong income, paid monthly, based on the value of their home and their age, in exchange for the property - which they could continue to occupy.
Alan Greenspan writes extensively about the global economy in The Age of Turbulence.
He believes there are common dominators to economic success. One is a cultural desire for growth, which includes government integrity, the acceptance of a certain amount of income inequality, incentives to take risk and the willingness to let market forces determine supply and demand. Markets are the antithesis of government decision making. The fall of Russian communism showed the fallacy of central planning. The socialism of Western Europe and the populism of Latin America are lesser forms of substituting the wisdom of government for the marketplace. Western Europe (India and elsewhere) suffers from bureaucracies with extensive approval processes which slowdown change and bureaucrats who substitute their judgment for the market. Restrictive work rules imposed on employers drive up costs and reduce the incentive to take risk, resulting in lower growth and, perverse

Transport and logistics experts say the worst hit sector has been the tourism industry that relies on an efficient aviation industry to fly tourists from overseas and regional sources, or fly them between local attractions. The country' airline industry, dominated by Air Zimbabwe, has remained small because potential investors have shied away from the risks associated with a plunge in tourist arrivals since 2000. Where these airliners are flying in central and southern Africa, they have been popular with tourists, attracting 80 to 90 percent capacity in a region where aircraft are virtually flying empty.
SINGAPORE, Aug 2 - The turbulence in the U.S. subprime mortgage market could spread to other sectors of the economy, especially as growth momentum is already weak, Joseph Stiglitz, former chief economist of the World Bank, said on Thursday.Financial markets have been volatile in recent weeks amid jitters about the fallout from the problems with U.S. subprime mortgages, but Stiglitz said the turmoil was no surprise to him.The risks could spread to sectors "wider than the subprime, but how wide is difficult to tell. It's a broad problem", Stiglitz, a Nobel laureate economist and Columbia University professor, told Reuters in Singapore."It's very hard to predict the stock markets, but in terms of the underlying weakness of the U.S. economy, that's going to continue for an extended period of time," he said."It's a constant source of wonder to me how the market is irrational about certain things that seem so forecastable."Stiglitz told a financial forum that a stronger Chinese yuan woul
Turbulence in Fluids (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications)By M. Lesieur * Publisher: Springer * Number Of Pages: 552 * Publication Date: 2007-01-30 * Sales Rank: 305264 * ISBN / ASIN: 0792344162 * EAN: 9780792344162 * Binding: Paperback * Manufacturer: Springer * Studio: Springer * Average Rating: 3 * Total Reviews: 2Book Description:Turbulence in Fluids is an attempt to reconcile the theory of turbulence, too often presented in a formal, isolated mathematical context, with the general theory of fluid dynamics. It reviews, in a unifying manner, the main characteristics and general theorems of rotational fluids (liquids or gases), with applications to aerodynamics and geophysical fluid dynamics. Emphasis is placed both on unpredictability, mixing, and coherent vortices or structures. Transition to turbulence in wall or free-shear flows is considered both on the basis of linear-instability theory and of experiments or numerical simulations
Vorticity and Turbulence (Applied Mathematical Sciences)By Alexandre Joel Chorin Editorial ReviewsBook DescriptionThis book provides an introduction to turbulence in vortex systems, and to turbulence theory for incompressible flow described in terms of the vorticity field. It is the author's hope that by the end of the book the reader will believe that these subjects are identical, and constitute a special case of fairly standard statistical mechanics, with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium aspects. The author's main goal is to relate turbulence to statistical mechanics. The book is organized as follows: the first three chapters constitute a fairly standard introduction to homogeneous turbulence in incompressible flow; a quick review of fluid mechanics; a summary of the appropriate Fourier theory; a summary of Kolmogorov's theory of the inertial range. The next four chapters present the statistical theory of vortex notion, and the vortex dynamics of turbulence. The book ends with

Magnetohydrodynamic TurbulenceDieter BiskampMax-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Garching, GermanyThis book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of astrophysics. The book starts by introducing the MHD equations, certain useful approximations and the transition to turbulence. The second part of the book covers incompressible MHD turbulence, the macroscopic aspects connected with the different self-organization processes, the phenomenology of the turbulence spectra, two-point closure theory, and intermittency. The third considers two-dimensional turbulence and compressible (in particular, supersonic) turbulence. Because of the similarities in the theoretical approach, these chapters start with a brief account of the corresponding methods developed in hydrodynamic turbulence. The final part of the book is devoted to astrophysical applications: turbulence in the s

George Soros blamed yen carry trades as one very important factor in the current turbulence in global financial markets. As the YEN is basically interest-free, a lot of money is coming from borrowing and lots of Japanese money are going abroad. As the YEN weakened, a lot of people got into yen carry trades, thus causing a shake-out in financial markets. Soros also attributed the turbulence partly to a slowdown in the US economy and the housing situation. A slowdown will lead the US economy to more balanced growth while faster growth elsewhere will help correct the US trade deficit but that will lead to less liquidity in the market, Soros said in an interview with the Financial Times.Soros predicted that the Chinese govt will try to prevent a collapse of mainland bourses in the run up to th
I hate turbulence! In this episode, we talk about that most annoying aspect of flying, turbulence. Recently, I had a very bumpy trip to Townsville, with plenty of turbulence caused by Cyclone Nelson. So I used the 7 hour delay at Townsville airport caused by the cyclone on the way home to do a bit of thinking on turbulence.Marcwww.mrscienceshow.com
