Back at Extreme Thing, a crowd clusters near the stage, choosing to see the locals over national acts playing other stages. Without warning, Alaska begins a guitar-heavy assault punctuated by Rivera’s yells and near-constant stage dives. He sings most songs while crowd-surfing. It’s a daring declaration that says more about Alaska than any statement or symbol could, handmade or otherwise.</html> | Back at Extreme Thing, a crowd clusters near the stage, choosing to see the locals over national acts playing other stages.

| + | <html>Werdum submits Nogueira at UFC on FUEL TV 10{eot}The Canadian Press6/9/2013 12:30:34 AMText Size | ||
| + | FORTALEZA,[http://www.wszyx.com/review.asp?NewsID=244 Fessentideborahbill revcoupon s coupon s. e .. e . challenging essentithey wouldwhich igramwhich ioour purposes working hours a hardw a job], Brazil -- Heavyweight Fabricio Werdum avenged a 2006 loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira with a second-round submission win over the former interim UFC champ in the main event of Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 10. | ||
| + | Werdum was in control from the start, looking quicker on the feet in the standup department and stronger on the floor. Still,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Pittsburgh-Steelers-92-Harrison-camo-Jerseys-4492/ Pittsburgh Steelers 92 Harrison camo Jerseys], the 27-year-old Nogueira showed his legendary tenacity as he constantly walked forward and looked to strike from the clinch. However, things took an unfortunate turn for him in the second frame. | ||
| + | As Nogueira looked to secure a guillotine choke in a scramble, Werdum pulled his head free and took top position as the pair hit the floor. From there, Werdum methodically worked himself into a tight armbar position. Nogueira tried desperately to outlast the hold but eventually verbally submitted. | ||
| + | It's my second fight with him, and it was a tough fight, Werdum said after the win. I was able to get onto his back and get the armbar, and then I was able to make him submit. That made me very happy. | ||
| + | Marshall Zelaznik, the UFC's managing director of international development, said the win might not necessarily guarantee a fight with the winner of a planned heavyweight title fight between current champ Cain Velasquez and former title holder Junior dos Santos, but he believes Werdum can at least make a case for the booking. | ||
| + | Obviously this was an important fight for Fabricio, Zelaznik said. The chatter in the office was that this was an improtant fight for determining the contender for the championship. | ||
| + | In the night's co-feature, 33-year-old Leonardo Santos (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) became the oldest winner of The Ultimate Fighter with a second-round submission win over William Macario. | ||
| + | Santos and Macario faced off in the tournament final of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2. Macario looked the better fighter to open, toying with his opponent on the feet and showing little regard to his opponent's vaunted grappling skills. But as the contest wore on, Macario appeared to tire and Santos took full advantage. | ||
| + | Taking the fight to the floor, Santos quickly advanced to mount position and locked in an arm-triangle choke. As he dismounted to finish the hold, Macario tried desperately to spin and escape but was forced to tap with 17 seconds left in the second round. | ||
| + | An emotional Santos celebrated the victory with his longtime teammate,[http://prosilentpc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usuario:Chhengfd35#Musing_on_dating_Beebs.2C_insta_0 Musing on dating Beebs, insta 0], UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo. In a moment of raw emotion, both men shed tears as the enjoyed the importance of the win, which sees Santos earn a six-figure UFC contract. | ||
| + | I know many of you, when you saw me walking in, a small-city guy, you thought I was going to lose, Santos said. But no way -- I'm very tough. Aldo is the most humble person I know of. He's a really good champion and a great person. I consider him my brother. | ||
| + | In another featured matchup, one-time UFC title contender Thiago Silva (15-3 MMA 6-3 UFC) earned his first official win since 2009 with a stunning first-round knockout of former Strikeforce champ Rafael Feijao Cavalcante (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC). While Cavalcante looked the stronger man to open the fight, he tired as the opening round unfolded, and Silva made him pay. | ||
| + | A straight wobbled the favoured Cavalcante before an uppercut landed flush on the chin and ended the contest with 31 seconds left in the opening round. | ||
| + | The performance earned Silva US$100,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/NHLToronto-Maple--Leafs-Big-&-Tall-Women-s-Logo-Yellow-T-Shirt-28550/ NHLToronto Maple Leafs Big & Tall Women's Logo Yellow T-Shirt],000 in extra income for earning both the Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night bonuses. | ||
| + | UFC on FUEL TV 10's undercard featured seven bouts that included Brazilian fighters against foreign competition. The Brazilian fighters were victorious in all seven contests. A crowd of 6,286 fans attended the event, according to Zelaznik.</html> | ||

| + | == Can investors be weaned from addiction to Fed stimulus- == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The dilemma confronting the Federal Reserve and its wizard, Chairman Ben Bernanke, was on full display this week. Bernanke s stated hint that the Fed might, at some future date, only if things improve, consider easing off on its easy money strategy sent markets tumbling. | ||
| + | Bernanke did not really say much at his news conference,[http://202.143.137.98/mck/read.php?tid=2328282 Murray wins Wimbledon, beats Djokovic in 3 sets], and much of what he said was good news. The Fed boosted its forecast for economic growth in 2014, predicting a range between 3 percent and 3.5 percent, substantially better than earlier predictions. It now estimates that next year the jobless rate could drop to 6.5 percent, after previously speculating it would remain as high as 7 percent. | ||
| + | You would think such a positive outlook would excite investors, but there was that subtle caveat about the Fed at some point easing its bond-buying policy. Bernanke did not say the bond buying will end anytime soon,[http://www.code-tutorials.org/wiki/Benutzer:Flattenut45#Herculez_Gomez.2C_Landon_Donovan_score_in_7 Herculez Gomez, Landon Donovan score in 7], in fact he anticipates it will continue well into next year. The central bank will only slow the borrowing if the jobs situation does indeed improve. | ||
| + | As for raising the fed funds interest rate, long near zero forget about it that will not happen at least until 2015, the chairman assured. | ||
| + | But apparently investors don t want any of it to end, ever. There are signs of addiction to the economic amphetamines the Fed used to stimulate the economy. | ||
| + | The central bank has been buying up $85 billion in bonds backed by housing mortgages every month, its latest version of quantitative easing. The money comes in the form of credits on the accounts of big banks. This has made them more likely to lend, helping consumer purchasing and business growth. And because the Fed has focused on buying mortgage-backed bonds, the purchases have helped keep mortgage interest rates low to boost home sales. | ||
| + | And it has worked; the National Association of Realtors announced that sales in May increased from 4 percent over April and 13 percent from a year earlier, a sales pace not seen in several years. Average year-over-year housing prices increased 15 percent. | ||
| + | Yet it is a recovery built on a shaky and arguably false foundation. The Fed creates the money for all that bond borrowing out of thin air, just adding to the negative column on its balance sheet, now about $3 trillion. Installing a real foundation for economic growth without the whole thing crumbling will be a considerable challenge and it is not clear Bernanke will be there to oversee it. His term ends in January and the chairman has not said whether he will seek another. | ||
| + | Bernanke acknowledge the Fed faces a more complex type of situation unprecedented too. At some point it has to find a way to begin shrinking its balance sheet without igniting inflation or spooking the markets. | ||
| + | Bernanke and the Fed realized this is where the path they undertook with a series of quantitative easing initiatives would lead, and it was arguably the only path open to it in trying to rebuild an economy from the deepest recession since the Great Depression. The markets overreaction to Bernanke s statements shows what a big challenge the Fed faces in trying to communicate its plans for scaling back. The giants of industry, meanwhile, must show a bit more confidence in the ability of the U.S. economy to function without the QE drug.</html> | ||
