...take. But if you are a highly leveraged fund precariously perched as these dominos fall - as Goldman's are today and as LTCM was in 1998 - you become part of the game. And if you are both highly leveraged and big, the problem that started in one insignificant little segment will now become your problem, and a much bigger one. Again, it's all about leverage. This is the case for crises in the past and will be the case for crises in the future. A world in which highly leveraged hedge funds share similar strategies makes it inevitable that...
...which costs as little as $7,200 - about 40% less than rival sedans - quickly took off in wealthier Western Europe as well. The car now sells in more than 50 countries and Renault is struggling to meet demand. "Our aim is to produce the most affordable car in its segment, and because we're doing that well, we're starting to see more affluent buyers and families buying Logans as their second and third cars," says Sylvain Bilaine, managing director of Renault India, where the model launched earlier this year...
...Gore to Leo DiCaprio to Homer and Marge in The Simpsons Movie--TV is jumping on the biodiesel-fueled bandwagon.

There are little to no performances—even less-so, television shows—that feature hip hop and waltz in the same segment; that hold krumping and the contemporary lyrical dancing to the same artistic standards, forcing dancers and viewers to value them equally. The show tests the physical bounds of the dancers, as well as intellectual bounds of the viewers, urging them to reinterpret diverse, cultural dance forms...
...This is the 119th flight of a space shuttle, the 20th for Endeavour and the 22nd overall to the ISS, a still-growing orbiting outpost that is more or less the only reason any of the shuttles fly anymore. The Endeavour crew will be delivering a two-ton truss segment that will help hold solar arrays and will require three risky spacewalks to install. If the ISS were doing good science at an arguably reasonable price, those risks would be worth taking. But it's doing almost no science at all at an exorbitant price - an estimated $100 billion...
