They conclude that “as long as spot prices do not close above $1085 we will maintain our top count shown on the chart. This means gold is in wave (3) down and should be on the verge of falling hard, declining to the $950-$970 area, near the apex of the wave (B) triangle.”
Interestingly, that same $950 number appears elsewhere as well, and in a place where one might not expect it at all; in the words of Marc Faber. Having declared not too long ago that gold will “never fall to under $1000 an ounce again” we find it curious to read on Bloomberg this morning that the Swiss guru (who sees America GDP as consisting of only beer and prostitutes anymore) now says that he: “won’t rule out that gold will go down to $950 or $1,000, but I don’t expect more downside.” Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition, either, but, which will it be; $950 or $1,000? (Depends on one’s definition of ‘never,’ presumably).

February 2008 — Gov. Eliot Spitzer and legislative leaders select the New York Racing Association to continue its lease for Aqueduct Race Track, Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course for another 25 years.

John Mayer Apologizes For Racial Slur Used In Controversial Playboy Interview
Singer/songwriter, John Mayer, saw one of his favorite places on earth, micro-blogging website Twitter, turn against him yesterday (February 10) all thanks to a revealing interview with Playboy magazine.
In the March issue of the adult oriented magazine, Mayer, who is known for being outspoken and brash, might have taken things a bit too far when describing his popularity among blacks. While talking about what it feels like to have a “hood pass” the singer made one of the biggest mistakes possible: using the N word.
“Someone asked me the other day, ‘What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?’ And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms,” the singer explained to Playboy contributing editor Rob Tannenbaum during the interview. “Because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n—-r pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass?”

… Call them shock jocks, call them completely inappropriate — but Uncle Eddie and his “Ham Radio” cohorts, in their posh office with impressive views of Manhattan’s skyline, are making a bid for something big. Their parent company, Goom Radio, expanded last year from France into the United States, where its popular online music stations — easily customized and carried on mobile devices — are already heard by some two million listeners, according to company founders.
Ben Johnson Eddie Finocchiaro, a.k.a. Uncle Eddie, doing his talk radio thing.
The immediate argument for “Ham Radio” is: Hasn’t this been done before? By Howard Stern, by Opie and Anthony, and plenty of other radio personalities who are willing to exploit every one from strippers and little people to prostitutes and homeless men for cheap laughs?

… 2] For business purposes, of course; I appreciate that the vast majority of the women who work as convention models, burlesque performers and strippers aren’t actually looking for an endless string of casual sex partners*, but for business purposes, they have to act as if they are. And remember, men across the country see only the projection (through TV shows, movies, Vegas vacations), and they move to Vegas hoping to get in on the (largely nonexistent) action.
* One of my good friends, a stripper, identifies as asexual.
[3] A similar line of reasoning should tell you that Coyote Ugly and Hawaiian Tropic Zone are terrible bars to meet girls. Any place that culls patrons using beautiful women is going to attract mostly guys.

Despite all these issues, the Vancouver games will likely have dozens, perhaps hundreds, of viewers. If you’re among those who are new to the winter games, however, I should explain that these Olympics consist primarily of three types of events: traditional cold-weather sports (hockey, skiing, speed skating), activities that most likely originated as drunken fraternity dares (ski jump, luge, naked ice beer pong) and sports that would more accurately be termed “non-sports” (figure skating, ice dancing, curling). And before crazed fans of figure skating and curling begin firing off a lot of angry emails, let me point out that I won’t read them, so don’t bother.
I mean, come on, figure skating a sport? Not as long as the medal winners are chosen by judges who are easier to pay off than a Tijuana strip club doorman. And curling? Sorry, but I refuse to recognize any Olympic event involving brooms as long as the IOC continues to reject demands to accept Quidditch as a medal sport.
