    Bodyguard of Medvedev arrested in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

    A 19 year old trainee from a hotel in Amsterdam has been groped by a bodyguard of Russian president Medvedev.
    This news was brought out today by "de Telegraaf". The guard was a part of Medvedevs official company.

    The Russian president arrived in the Netherlands Friday, to open the exhibit "Hermitage" together with queen Beatrix. The report of the event arrived with the police Saturday morning. The police proceded to detain the suspect.

    Later on, because of the nationality of the suspect and it being highly unlikely that the man would actually show up later, a settlement was reached with the suspect. The total fine was 1000 Euro + 200 for the victim = 1200 Euro.

    Let's look at it this way. Maybe "stone face" is a ll for Medvedev's progressive political approach and agenda. How is he supposed to tell his corrupt cronies "Sorry boys I'm going with the Prez." Although the fact that the ex KGB agent probably only really trusts Medvedev is two aces in the hole.

    It is only a matter of time when conflict between the Medvedev and Putin camps reach a boiling point. In czarist times, competition factions fought for influence, until one side came up the winner. I get the sense that Putin is humoring the Russian President. When PM Putin feels that his protege is getting "too big for his britches", then the Russian bear will have no hesitation to clamp his sharp claws down on Medvedev. There's no way that the Russian Prime Minister is about to cede control /influence with the Russian President.

      I prefer this: The Russia Bear will have no hesitation to clamp his sharp claws down to Medvedev

    We need to support the people of Russia against Putin's repressive orders. I wonder if Obama will support Communism or Freedom. Based on his US stance and nationalizing the automakers, I suspect that Obama will support Communism.

    I control the interest rate like the Uni of waterloo
    told me to expect 99386493.

    Relativity: could be interpretated as agreeing their is a
    communication between what you are thinking and what is going
    on around you. You'll be thinking about something, observe
    a "severe statistic" and interpret options about what to expect.

    "The man who truly and disinterestdly enjoys any one thing in the
    world, for its own sake, and without caring two-pence what other
    people say about it, is by that vary fact forearmed against some of
    our subtlest modes of attack."

    Thanks, I think The Economist has members who don't understand
    supporting my history.

    I paced though the Louvre alone, it took me 2 hours, great story.

    When I was in Europe September 11th, 2001 happened and this is why
    I began reading The Economist in depth. That event to me said people
    need to give America attention and understanding.

    When I was reading The Economist I believe I found a loop in the
    content. I think the magazine communicated to me that the world can
    not enter the knowledge economy while America experiences it's
    Pop Culture worker classing cycle. America's Pop culture worker
    classing reality needs to be understood and adjusted into safe
    worker directions.

    I believe I am the interest rate like I was expecting, even if that
    doesn't bring us the ability to start the knowledge economy,
    directions about classing are available. Their are a number of
    interesting and harmful worker oppressions that are capable of
    being legel and finding a safe place in the knowledge economy.
