| Investment : Choose Aggressive or Defensive Stock Investing | | 2008-08-16 17:28:00 | | Aggressive stock investment means taking greater risk. Risks can take many forms. You invest in highly volatile market, where price fluctuations ignore all methods of analysis and basic research. There are ups and downs in stock prices, which occur despite the expectations of investors. There are bold and imaginative investors, who have been able to earn even in this climate of uncertainty. Another form of aggressive marketing is that you invest in shares, which appear to have "gone case" in accordance with popular calculations. But quite contrary to all the wise counsel, they show high growth and deliver rich fruit. Of course, they may also fall further, since they have already made the case. On the other hand, you invest in some stocks, like Wal-Mart, fully aware that they are expensive and their price can not grow in the near future. Few people are aware that buyers of such high value of stocks do not invest in them to make money at the expense of growth in their prices, but rather, | | By: Finance fantasy | | |

| | Study: Bumper stickers = Aggressive drivers | | 2008-06-19 08:33:00 | | Colorado State University researchers have recently concluded a study on driver behavior revealing something that may or may not be surprising to you: drivers who personalize their cars with bumper stickers, custom plates and other such markings are likely to be more aggressive and confrontational out on the road. It's all about marking your territory, say the CSU eggheads. When people use their rear bumper to, say, advertise who they voted for in the last three presidential elections (along with every associated platform issue), brag about how smart their precious kids are, or remind us about the highly unfortunate event that took place on October 27, 2004, it's really the adhesive-based equivalent of what that next-door-neighbor's dog does when he lifts his leg on your gardenias.Those stickers make cars an extension of their drivers' home turf, which they will defend if they feel you're threatening it in any way. Conversely, people whose autos retain their stock appearance are more | | By: Car News | | |

| | When your dog becomes aggressive | | 2008-03-19 10:37:09 | | When your sweet little boy starts behaving like a mean old junkyard dog, it's time to consider neutering.Aggression could result from a number of different things such as a new dog (or cat or other pet) entering the home (as a resident or visitor) or tresspassing within the broader boundaries of your dog's "territory", another person moving in, a complete change of residence or a bad experience that perhaps you are unaware of. Although dogs do have a natural instinct to protect their loved ones and their territory which neutering will not affect, aggression in a male dog that appears out of the blue when no real changes have occurred and no "threats" can be discerned may indicate it's time to look into having him neutered. Neutering will make your male dog less aggressive, reduce their tendency to roam, make them less prone to marking the territory, and reduce their tendency to mount other dogs (and in our case, their big cushions!). Neutering will also reduce the risk of testicular tu | | By: All About Shitzus | | |

| | | Hillary Clinton and hubby a bit more aggressive | | 2008-01-10 20:00:41 | | New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who’s in a fight for her political life against her Illinois colleague, Sen. Barack Obama, has gotten a bit more aggressive in her attacks on her young rival. "Today Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to criticize me," she said, according to an ABC News report. "Basically he compared himself to two of our greatest heroes saying, 'Well, they gave great speeches.' President Kennedy was in the Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero. He was a man of great accomplishments and readiness to be president. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led a movement. He was gassed; he was beaten; he was jailed. And he gave a speech that was one of the most beautiful, profoundly important ever delivered in America . …And then he worked with President Johnson to get the civil rights laws passed because the dream couldn't be realize until finally it was legally permissible for people from all colors and backgrounds and races and ethnicities to be accepted as citizens." Hillary Clinton on Monday also warned that Al-Qaeda watched US elections, urging Americans not to risk electing an inexperienced president, in her latest implicit swipe at rival Barack Obama. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton’s onetime Democratic adviser, Donna Brazile, described attacks against Obama by the former president as downright offensive. She was referring to Bill Clinton’s tirade following his wife’s loss to Obama in Iowa when he labeled Obama a “kid," and described Obama's views as a "fairy tale." To call the dream of unity and optimism a fairy tale, which Bill Clinton seemed to be doing, could very well be insulting to some of us. Former president Bill Clinton also made a pointed reference to the September 11 attacks in 2001, arguing that the next president had to be ready for sudden, national security challenges."You have to have a leader who is st | | By: PhreQuency Ent. | | |
| | Indexing for Passive Aggressive Investors | | 2007-10-24 07:18:00 | | Let’s dispel the notion once and for all that index funds are only for passive investors. Sure, the original index funds tracked the S&P and were meant for investors who either believed you couldn’t beat the market or didn’t want to try. Since their beginning, index funds have expanded their breath. You can find a fund which tracks any of the major indices and most industry sectors, such as health care and technology. The first cousin of index funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), do the same thing – they track indices. Between index funds and ETFs you can mirror any major index, small index, industry sector, industry sub-sector (i.e., biotech or software), global region or individual country. You can also try to outguess the indices if you want. For example, you can buy a S&P index fund which weights all 500 stocks equally or one which weights them by market cap, and so on.

| | The Cult of Aggressive Benevolence | | 2007-10-05 04:33:00 | | There are two books that I wish every American, and every Republican in particular, would read—or reread—before they finally go to the polls this season: The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek and Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War by Ludwig von Mises. Both were published the same year, 1944. Both are more relevant now than ever and speak to what's likely in store for this country if our direction isn't soon changed. The delusions are rapidly multiplying. Turn on the television these days and on one channel you'll hear Hillary urging a $5,000 birthday present from everyone's Parent on the Potomac, and on another will be Rudy G. and America-As-Action-Hero fantasist Norman Podhoretz insisting that if we don't grind up every regime that looks sideways at us (at least in the oil-rich regions) we'll be helping to install a caliphate from Mecca to Milwaukee.The lessons that can be taken away from Road to Serfdom and Omnipotent Government are sorely needed. The former deals primarily with socialism at home, and the second with socialism projected outward in the shape of aggressive nationalism and bellicose antagonism toward foreign regimes that run counter to our "interests". This is what the "Old Right" conservatives, having endured Wilsonian folly and the New Deal, feared was coming down the pike; and it's what they fought against. I submit that anyone who wants to understand the Ron Paul Revolution, who may be confused or intrigued about what all the hubbub is for, would be well served by giving these two volumes a (second) peek.In that vein, the following is an excerpt from a trenchant column written a couple of years ago by Stephen LaTulippe for LewRockwell.com:As I read the text of George W. Bush’s second inaugural address, my reaction began as alarm, transformed into perplexity, and finally came to rest at disgust. My assessment was formed around one central idea: It appears to have been written by individuals who, at their very core, do not understand the history and fabric of America. Basically, Bush’s address was profoundly un-American.Through the years, I have often heard anger directed at the very idea that anything can be "un-American." Historically, the charge has been hurled at liberals for their advocacy of European socialism, and it evokes much antagonism and alarm. In my opinion, these objections are nonsense. America was created with specific ideas in mind. Any literate person can easily read the founding documents of our nation. The Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers, and the speeches of our Founders are there for all to see. America was fashioned according to the ideals of individual liberty and limited government. The economic manifestation of that philosophy is laissez faire capitalism. The external manifestation of that philosophy is armed neutrality. Throughout our nation’s history, various groups have arisen to challenge these principles. They have suggested that the founding ideals are incorrect, incomplete, or that they somehow are no longer valid to contemporary circumstances. Throughout most of the 20th Century, American liberals advocated an economic ideology that revolved around high taxes, big government, and centralized planning. That entire intellectual tradition was in profound contradiction to the clearly stated beliefs that accompanied our nation’s creation.President Bush’s speech represents, in my opinion, the formal introduction of yet another ideology which seeks to displace traditional Americanism as the central core of our governance. Not since Woodrow Wilson, has a president enunciated a more breathtakingly belligerent and Jacobin ideology. He intends to "end tyranny in our world," and he will not shy away from breaking things and killing people to accomplish this goal. His ideology revolves around the belief that various peoples will respond positively to having their nations attacked and occupied for the purpose of creating American-style democracies. Consequently, an American attack need not be in response to an act of aggression. No specific threat to America need even be hypothesized.This whole worldview is preposterous.Bush’s address was much more appropriate for France in 1789 or Moscow in 1917 than for the United States of America. If I had to pick an historical analogy to President Bush, it would probably be Napoleon Bonaparte. I say this not because Bush has even a modicum of Napoleon’s military experience or genius, but rather because Bonaparte represented a stage of the French Revolution that is similar to the current stage of neo-conservatism in which we now find ourselves enmeshed. After several years of the Reign of Terror, in which traditional French culture was uprooted in the name of Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite, the time had finally come to "change the world." Napoleon represented an attempt by the radical revolutionaries to export their ideology in order to usher in a new, utopian era. The rest of mankind was believed to be languishing in darkness and had to be liberated by force of arms. The result was years of bloodshed and warfare that cost millions of lives. Despite his occasional, weak statements to the contrary, the philosophy behind Bush’s speech is a similar exhortation for an endless war to transform humanity. Bonapartism aside, I noticed two other interesting aspects of Bush’s address that are relevant to an analysis of his intentions:#1 Osama Who?The initial spark that caused this latest round of belligerence was the attacks of 9/11. In the immediate aftermath of those assaults, they were used as the casus belli for several military operations around the world. But soon thereafter, the Bush administration began to advocate military actions that were ever more remote from al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Iraq was attacked because of its alleged WMDs and its potential to pass them to al-Qaeda. President Bush expanded this WMD argument to name an "axis of evil" and to put them on notice for threatened "regime change." Only minimal attempts were made to connect these nations with the events of 9/11. This inaugural address represents the formal liberation of neoconservative militarism from the terror attacks of 9/11. While Bush obliquely referenced September 11 early on in the speech, he clearly implies that any regime which is deemed "tyrannical" (in America’s unilateral opinion) is a legitimate target for military action. An association with al-Qaeda is irrelevant. An association with other Muslim radicals is immaterial. Whether the nation even represents a potential threat to America is of no consequence.Neoconservative militarism no longer feels the need to hide behind the apron of 9/11. No more fairy tales concerning WMDs will be forthcoming. They are no longer necessary in the eyes of the neoconservatives, who have thrown off the pretense that their militarism is defensive in nature. Future wars will be justified merely by the moral imperative of exporting their Jacobin ideology.Osama has served his purpose, and is now passé.#2 The neoconservatives have drawn precisely the wrong conclusion from 9/11Reading the text of Bush’s speech reveals a thought process that is either extremely foolish or intentionally dishonest. He describes the time between the end of the Cold War and the attacks of September 11 as a "sabbatical." The implication being that America’s inaction and "isolationism" were somehow responsible for the tragedy. He basically claims that if only we had been more globally assertive, we would somehow have avoided the fate of 9/11. Minding our own business is thus selfish and immoral, and such behavior has led us into our present dangerous circumstances. This is almost perfectly out of phase with the actual truth of the situation, and any policies that are enacted as a result of this flawed perspective are doomed to failure. As Anonymous describes so wonderfully in his book Imperial Hubris, the 9/11 attacks were a conscious response to the actions and policies of the American government in the Middle East (policies which never would have been enacted in the first place had America been following the advice of our Founders). Osama bin Laden has been very candid about exactly why he launched the operations. Muslim extremists are furious about our financing of dictatorships in the region, our intervention in various parochial conflicts involving the Muslim world, and our perceived manipulation of Middle East oil supplies for our own benefit. While I deny that any of these excuses legitimized the murder of innocent civilians on September 11, it is nevertheless nonsensical and dishonest to suggest that American introversion and isolationism played any role whatsoever in the motivation of the terrorists. It is also nonsensical and dishonest to suggest that a more belligerent foreign policy would have somehow prevented the attacks.The reason for this manipulation of the truth is obvious. If the American people were to come to understand that our conflict with the Muslim world revolves around government policies that are causing havoc in the Middle East, they would simply demand a cessation of the policies (and the fact that these policies are not in the best interest of the broad swath of Middle America makes the policies all the more dispensable).But that would result in a George Washington/John Q. Adams policy of America First. The neoconservatives needed to somehow attach their goal of world revolution to the horrors of 9/11 and to distract the American people from the truth of the situation. This inaugural address was their attempt. My prayer is that America does not buy what the neocons are selling, because these sorts of Napoleonic crusades never end well. | | By: Republican Renaissance | | |
| | Take Aggressive Steps Toward Protecting Elderly | | 2007-07-19 15:30:00 | | The elderly in our communities who rely on home care often are at risk of abuse, financial exploitation and theft.What's worse is in most cases the people committing these crimes against the elderly are not strangers, but in fact friends, neighbors and family members.Mary Alice Rountree, Caddo Council on Aging director, said much of the abuse is coming from the children and grandchildren."They're the ones who are stealing from them," she said.According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, 1 million to 2 million Americans 65 and older have been injured, exploited or otherwise mistreated by someone they depended on for care or protection.Most times elderly residents become so dependent on others they don't realize they are being victimized until it's too late and all of their finances are gone.So it's up to others to keep a watchful eye out for the elderly.And education is a start.Partnering with agencies to educate the elderly on how to protect themselves from exploitation willre | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

| | | Ross, other Giant corners to be more aggressive? | | 2007-05-15 20:07:31 | | Since the Giants hired Steve Spagnuolo away from the Eagles to be their defensive coordinator, the media has been speculating and fans have been hoping that 'Spags' would implement a more aggressive defensive style than his predecessor, Tim Lewis. Spagnuolo, of course, learned his craft under the ultra-aggressive Jim Johnson in Philadelphia. You can't take too much from a three-day rookie mini-camp, but if Ernie Palladino of the Journal News is right, early signs are that the Giants will indeed ask their corners to be more physical in coverage. Here's what Palladino had to say today in his Giants Journal after watching rookie first-round pick Aaron Ross for a couple of days. What I did see was a definitive move with Ross to a more aggressive press coverage, which was his strength at Texas. I hardly saw him in off coverage, and I consider that a good sign. Obviously, some of that is going to change once the full-team minicamp and training camp roll around. But the fac | | By: Big Blue View | | |
| | NCP Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder | | 2007-05-14 03:32:00 | | DSM-IV 301.9 Personality disorder NOS Passive-Aggressive personality disorder (negativistic personality disorder)—provided for further study. This disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of passive resistance, expressed indirectly rather than directly, to demands for adequate social/occupational performance, with the individual viewing the future as negatively as they view the present. ETIOLOGICAL THEORIES Psychodynamics These clients are unaware that ongoing difficulties are the result of their own behaviors. They experience conscious hostility toward authority figures but do not connect their ownpassive-resistant behaviors with hostility or resentment. They do not trust others, are not assertive, are intentionally inefficient, and try to “get back†at others through aggravation. Anger and hostility are released through others, who become angry and may suffer because of the client’s inefficiencies. This disorder can lead to more serious psychological dysfunctions such as major depression, dysthymic disorder, and alcohol and other drug abuse/dependence. These behaviors, although not disturbing to the client, are disturbing to those in the environment who interact with the client. Therapy is not usually sought, but the client is generally referred for help by family members. Biological Personality disturbance is attributed to constitutional abnormalities. There may be a biological base to behavioral and emotional deviations, and researchers hope to demonstrate a correlation between chromosomal and neuronal abnormalities and a person’s behavior. Family Dynamics Theories of development implicate environmental factors occurring in the very early years of the child’s life. Feelings of rejection or inadequate nurturing by the primary caregiver result in anger that is then turned inward on the self. Depression is common.
