We do not! I did growing up, though. We always had pancakes on Sundays.
Now, none of us are morning people . . . but we do love a fancy breakfast for dinner!

Texas Tech 68
(17-15, 4-12 Big 12)
(1) Kansas 80
(30-2, 15-1 Big 12)
12:30 PM ET, March 11, 2010
Sprint Center, Kansas City, Missouri
Top Performers
Texas Tech: J. Roberson 17 Pts, 2 Reb, 8 Ast, 1 Stl
Kansas: C. Aldrich 12 Pts, 18 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blk
Bill Self doesn't need to remind his Kansas players about the school's last game in the Big 12 Championship.
Atop the rankings once again, the Jayhawks look to make up for last year's early tournament exit Thursday when they face Texas Tech in quarterfinal play in Kansas City.A year ago, Kansas won its fifth straight Big 12 regular-season title, but it was upset 71-64 by Baylor in its first game of the tournament. It was the first time the Jayhawks lost their initial contest in the 13-year history of the event.Though Kansas (29-2) went on to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament and came back to win another conference championship this season, a majority of its roster is back and still remembers the sting of last year's defeat."For us to win the conference and then lose our first game in the tournament was very disappointing," said star guard Sherron Collins, who had 16 points against Baylor. "We're trying not to let that happen. We're working hard and staying positive."Winners of consecutive games since dropping their only league contest at Oklahoma State on Feb. 27, the Jayhawks certainly have the motivation to earn a league-record seventh Big 12 tournament title some 40 miles from their Lawrence campus."We are a lot better basketball team than we were last year," Self said. "Last year if one guy out of two did not play well, we probably did not have a great chance to win. This year it has been proven that we probably have enough depth and balance."With four players averaging double figures and eight playing at least 15 minutes per contest, Kansas won the league's regular-season title by four games. The Jayhawks returned to the No. 1 spot in the poll after previously top-ranked Syracuse lost at Louisville on Saturday, and they're likely headed to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.In 2008, Kansas won the national championship after winning the league tournament in Kansas City. However, the Jayhawks feel they have something to prove as the event returns to the Sprint Center."We want to go play like we're the best team in the country and finish the season off as the best team in the country," freshman Thomas Robinson said.That quest beings Thursday against ninth-seeded Texas Tech (17-14), which snapped a seven-game losing streak with an 82-67 win over Colorado in Wednesday's first round.Kansas won 89-63 at home in its only meeting with Texas Tech on Jan. 16. Marcus Morris had 20 points as the Jayhawks held the Red Raiders to a season-low 32.8 percent shooting. Morris is averaging 15.5 points and 8.0 rebounds while shooting 63.2 percent from the field in two career games versus Texas Tech.Though Kansas has won nine of 12 against Texas Tech, Red Raiders coach Pat Knight knows anything is possible, especially after what Baylor did last year."Yeah, it's going to be tough," said Knight, whose team allowed a league-worst 76.4 points per game during the season. "It's like comparing my win/loss record to my old man's. It's going to be tough. (But) you get a chance to play the No. 1 team in the country. A lot of funny things happen in these conference tournaments."Texas Tech leading scorer Mike Singletary (14.8 points per game), who had 13 against Colorado, looks to bounce back after being held scoreless versus the Jayhawks in January.This is the second tournament meeting between the teams. Kansas won 90-50 in the 2002 semifinals in Kansas City.SPONSORED HEADLINES

"west suburb of Greater London" Top 5 Page for this destination Ealing by mindcrime
Ealing Travel Guide: 85 reviews and 181 photos
We visited Ealing because we have some friends that live there. Ealing is a nice suburb of London situated in West London, you need about an hour to approach the area on tube from the city centre. It's not a place where tourists could spend days but it's great for a daytrip from London or a bit more if you want to relax for a while and if you don't care to be a bit far even to use it as a base for your explore into London!
Ealing was always an area that had a lot of immigrants so there's no surprise you can see a lot of Asian restaurants and stores but there are also a lot of people from Poland.
Although once a small village away from London (it's about 13km west of central London) it is now a large area at the end of central line on tube (and that's one of the reasons many people live there due to easy access into the city) and part of Greater London since 1965. The town developed rapidly right after the opening of the railway station in 1838.
What we liked most here was the fact that there were many green spaces, some great small and big parks, the local children are very lucky to live in an area like this. For us it was very relaxing, we walked some of the parks, we visited some local galleries, we saw some churches and drink beer at some local pubs (the area is full of cafes and restaurants anyway)
- Pros:a lot of green areas, nice escape from London
- Cons:not much to do/see the second day

Such fun to find someone on VT who has visited and written about my home town of Ealing! If you come again you must let me know - we could meet for a coffee or beer perhaps :-) The Rose & Crown is just around the corner from my house!!
superb Ealing tips! glad to see you you continue to make such up-to-date VT tips....wonderful place - I love war memorials too :) Just visited one today here in la Jolla, San Diego :)
that side street in ealing looks just like side streets in areas of queens where tourists don't go - except the cars are pointed in the wrong direction.
Ealing seems a quiet place, not much to do except for the Jazz festival. Ideal for a peaceful life. Nice pictures and tips :-)
Thanks for inviting me to a virtual tour of Ealing! Ilan
Definitely a place I have not heard of! Great tips as always. Love old Victorian houses! Sorry Cafe Chai was not better but I do love the name. Hope all is well. What are your next travel plans? {Don't you ever stay home? ;-)) }
In a village near Padova we also have those human looking statues, the funny thing is that they put child ones on each pedestrian crossing, scared the hell out of me first time I saw them! look like they are running across the street!! Nice page here
I do like the idea of lots of squirrels running around in Walpole Park, how cute. The Victorian House look very old and grand, great phjotos, K
I love that kind of funny city sculptures. Thanks for sharing with us.

One of WildStar's earliest promises was "layered content," where different parts of the nascent MMO would work together to provide this rich gaming experience. But what does this actually mean, and has Carbine managed to deliver it? Gareth Harmer grabs a fork and tucks in. Read more of Gareth Harmer's WildStar: Layer Cake. Associate Editor: MMORPG.com |
Is it just me or is anyone else getting annoyed because I want to play this game, Im tired of watching video's and reading articles/press releases. Grr.
Originally posted by Wicoa I WANT TO PLAY SO FRIGGIN BAD OHMAGAWDD |
Really? I was hoping for a 2016 release so I have some time to play some other games.
Cannot wait. Beyond excited for this game, seriously hoping for a beta key one day soon.
Nice read. It's refreshing to see Carbine focus so much on getting the core basics, the foundation, of gameplay to feel just right. How many games have you picked up and instantly upon firing it up, you get a feeling of 'sluggishness' or 'choppy' controls? I know it's happen to me a number of times. So many devs (SWTOR is a perfect example) have run into this issue. You need to learn to walk before you can run!
Originally posted by Wicoa Yep, I really want to get my hands on this. The combat looks fun in the videos, but there's only one real way to find out :( Kind of hoping this launches near or before ESO so I am not tempted to get that while I wait. |
I'm more and more turned off by these posts. I couldn't care less about the combat. I want all the other things just right. A cool world with cool mobs, cool loot and meaningful PvP. Seems like it will be just another A to B fetch grind to me with the occasional nonsense quest.
Originally posted by geel That's how it seems to me too, basically WoW 2.0 with some new features and such. I will hold off on judging it fully until I get to play it myself, but I feel like staring at telegraphs on the ground isn't much better than staring at nameplates. I mean yea, it might force you to move out of the colored shape on the ground, but you're still just staring at shapes rather than actually paying attention to the combat animations/effects. I hope I'm wrong, but that's the way it looks to me. |
Originally posted by TheHavok This is so true. We tend to overlook flaws in basic things like character control, but in reality those flaws do help create the overall bad impression. |

Did I read that correctly? "Get a smattering of words in quest text." Does that mean it's not even fully voiced? What is this, 2004?
Peace is a lie, there is only passion. |
I've participated in a lot of closed betas and this is one of the only ones I haven't gotten into yet. IDK who in the hell they are giving the keys too I've seen a lot of ripoff keys around and I know it's random but they seem to be giving the keys away to people who either aren't using them or are trying to sell them (This is from what i've seen) which is really bad luck on their part because the game looks great and it seems like they aren't getting as good as testers as they could to help improve the game further, but that's just a guess hopefully they have great people helping test the game :). Then again there are a lot of people wanting in and it's random so :( it's just bad luck for all of us wanting in. The game still looks great and even though I don't like how they are dispersing their CBT invites I am looking forward to this one :D!
Originally posted by CazNeerg You know, not every MMO that is coming out has a $200 million budget. Voice overs are VERY expensive. Having said that, I read somewhere that they planned on doing more voice overs when the bugs are minimal. I can fly higher than an aeroplane. |
If you dont see the difference between avoiding/using ground area effectsand focusing on name plates I dont know what to tell you. When focusing on name plates you are actually missing out on graphics/effects and gameplay. Avoiding ground effects forces you to pay attention to these things. As far as WoW 2.0, most mmo's I play dont work for me for two main reasons. The combat is terrible, with boring animations and limited combat options. If I have to get through 50 or so levels I want the combat to look good and force me to make some choices now and then. The other reason is I end up not caring for anything in the world. I guess that is a story/ lore problem. Its nice every few levels to get some story motivation for why I should care im leveling in the game or at least make the quests entertaining/funny. WoW gets a bad rap for its questing but it has some of the best quest lines in MMO's IMO. The whole rambo questline is a fun one. How about the CSI Miami questline? Those are just a couple off the top of my head. They had me smiling while doing them and motivated me to keep leveling to see what else the devs had in store for me. Not all the quests are going to be winners but sprinkle a few around that make you interested in whats going on, like the horde questline in Stonetalon Mtns and im happy. The quests work because they get you involved. I dont play WoW anymore, I recently tried it again to try the panda's and it just didnt hold my interest but I played it for several years on and off and would love to find another game that can keep me interested for more that a couple months. SWTOR and TSW have good story elements but bad combat. Tera and DCUO have good combat but I couldnt care less for the game world. |
Originally posted by Wicoa Ya it's pretty annoying that they keep trying to sell it to the people who aren't in Beta. It's been in a beta for a while now and they don't seem to be inviting anyone new. Just a group of people so when they have their videos, players are running around. I was all about this game for years, then they started this nonsense. I already chose EverQuest Next over this game now. $100 for EQNL, $0 for Wildstar. |
Originally posted by Atadis They originally opened it up to only a couple thousand, maybe even a single thousand, i don't remember. It would seem to me that they are treating the closed Beta test with an NDA as an old school Beta. Where only a relative few get in, I would only hope those that are in are reporting everything they see. The problem with too many people in a Beta is that you run the risk of getting flooded with issues (and non-issues) and it could be overwhelming for a new company. I can fly higher than an aeroplane. |

Originally posted by Kaladin As long as they plan on doing it at some point. I'm excited for this game, but I've gotten spoiled. Having to go back in time and read text boxes when "talking" to NPCs is far more of a drag now than it used to be, and it was never that pleasant, it just used to be the case that we didn't know any better. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. |
I do see the different between them, but it's just diverting my eyes to a different kind of artificial notifier. Maybe it's just me but this style of combat seems extremely boring to me. You're really just dodging shapes all day, and then what happens when you have several people engaging in combat at the same time? Wouldn't it just spiral into a chaotic mixture of colors all over the ground? It just seems like too much of a casual hand-holding type of feature, similar to WoW PvE encounters where you move out of area effects, fire is bad, etc. I prefer combat that requires you to think as opposed to just diving aside any time you see a shape at your feet.
Originally posted by raskull789 One sentence at a time. "Ya it's pretty annoying that they keep trying to sell it to the people who aren't in Beta" Yeah, why would anybody advertise for a product to people who aren't already using it. /sarcasmoff "It's been in a beta for a while now and they don't seem to be inviting anyone new" Is this solely based on the fact that you have not received a Beta invite? "I was all about this game for years, then they started this nonsense. I already chose EverQuest Next over this game now. $100 for EQNL, $0 for Wildstar." The nonsense of advertising and not inviting you to the Beta? So, your money is going to a game based upon them trying to sell their game and you not being invited to test it. Tell me I am reading this wrong. I can fly higher than an aeroplane. |

Several "fake urine" products have gone on sale in New Zealand as employees attempt to beat workplace drug tests.
One, called QCARBO32, offers a "100 percent pass rate" with a money-back guarantee, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
Paul Fitzmaurice, from New Zealand's Environmental Science and Research agency, said the fake urine was difficult to distinguish from the real thing.
The owner of one company selling the products, Chris Fowlie, said the fake urine gave people back their privacy.
"Random drug testing goes against the Bill of Rights and the Privacy Act, and violates the natural justice of presumption of innocence," he said.

The cost of food in America remains affordable. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, American consumers spend, on average, just over 10 percent of their disposable income for food. That means the average household will have earned enough disposable income – that portion of income available for spending or saving – to pay for its annual food supply in about seven weeks, said Kentucky Farm Bureau president Mark Haney.

This is the life I told myself I would live but to this day it gets further away,
I break my back to save my day to work below minimum wage to fight for something that I could be, I struggle to take my own way to grow as a man and to follow the law and obey,
In this life its hard to be what you want without the will to stay, When trouble comes in my direction I move to the side to get out of it's way, Follow my own path to get the things I want most,
I see other peoples reactions when they get to know me and decide to flee what is it that makes them want to turn the other way what is it can't you see what is happening to me, I try so hard to believe that I will be the someone I want to be, In the end I find their is not much left in me lost without love and my heart bleeds, Depression and regrets go with me, that part of my brain that won't leave and seek to destroy me, I push not to hate as I have felt I have changed to learn to love every human being to embrace love and keep it close but I find no comfort as I can't confront this demon that has displayed itself in front of me,
Its been to long since I have wrote and I have so much to say,
But I know I won't get all of it out, it feels like this may be my final note,
these words I speak is how I have felt, for so many years I have been a ghost, I am tired of not being noticed what does life have to bring it feels like someone else is pulling my strings toying with me, wanting so bad to slip from this place and find something great, To find her to be with her but I do not know who this her is, I have nothing to offer but I hope this will change so my mind won't feel so strange

As Tuesday's announcement of Canada's Olympic roster edges closer, Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos nudges ever so closer to potentially being a part of that team.
Stamkos continues to skate and increase his movements on the ice as he recovers from a broken right tibia suffered Nov. 11. Though there remains uncertainty as to when he will be able to return to action, Stamkos maintains his goal of wanting to be a part of the Olympic experience next month in Sochi, Russia.
"I'm a pretty driven guy. I set goals for myself and I'm going to do everything possible to know that I'm going to be able to look at myself in the mirror and say that I did everything in my power to try and be on that team,'' Stamkos said.
"So that is something that is a goal of mine. I want to come back and play hockey for the Tampa Bay Lightning before I go to the Olympics if that's the case, but it's nice to have that goal so you have something to shoot for to get through some of the tougher days.''
It has been seven weeks since Stamkos underwent surgery to insert a titanium rod in his right leg to stabilize the tibia bone. The 23-year-old has been traveling with the team for the past three weeks as he has been able to skate.
What he is now able to do is skate with speed in straight lines with some light shooting of the puck, and Wednesday he was doing slalom drills going side-to-side.

Brent Johnson, the CEO of Santiago Capital, believes that economic problems in the United States will lead to a $200 rally in gold over the next two months.
"It wouldn't surprise me to be back at $1,500 or $1,550 by the end of the year," the portfolio manager said on Thursday's "Futures Now."
Gold, which settled on Thursday at $1,350 per troy ounce, hasn't touched $1,500 since early April, when it shed more than $200 in two harrowing sessions.
Johnson does note that sentiment around gold is "really low." The latest example of that came on Oct. 8, when the head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, Jeffrey Currie, said that gold would become a "slam dunk sell" after the government shutdown ended and the debt ceiling debate was settled.
"A number of different firms around the world are saying 'Sell gold,' that it's a 'slam dunk sell,' so there's still a lot of negative sentiment out there," Johnson said. "And there are a lot of shorts out there."
(Read more: Gold breaks $1,350; Fed hopes lure traders back to bullion)
To Johnson, this is actually good news.
"You can get a bit of a pop, and all of the sudden those shorts start to cover, people start to realize that QE is here to stay and not going anywhere, and things can change very quickly," he said. "I mean, gold can go up just as quickly as it came down."
This selloff is the real deal: Crude oil is getting zero help from a weaker dollar, as the market is in full liquidation mode, and is down another $1.50 on Wednesday morning.
In early Wednesday trading, crude has dropped below $96.50, and has blown through most major support levels below $100 just this week. The next major level of support comes in at $94.75.

Ralph Acampora is not looking forward to next year. While Altaira's director of technical analysis is bullish into the end of 2013, he fears that a year-end rally could set stocks up for a painful 2014.
"2014 is a year that we should have some sort of a decline," Acampora said on Tuesday's "Futures Now."
Acampora, often known as the godfather of technical analysis, then went on to enumerate the three reasons that next year makes him so nervous.
Reason one: The market will be overextended
Acampora believes that stocks will have a sweet end to 2013, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing out the year "somewhere between 16,500 and 17,000"—or 7 to 10 percent higher than where the index is trading today.
But once the market gets to that level, buyers might suddenly make themselves scare.
"Assuming I'm right, and we get a little bit of a correction here and then we go higher and it's across the board—all-time highs in the Russell averages and the S&P, and the Dow catches up and everybody's euphoric—if that happens and we go into the new year, 2014, then we're going to be facing extended price charts," Acampora said. "The market will be very overbought."

Rightly or wrongly, a bevy of companies are likely to blame weak fourth quarter earnings on the government shutdown and the debt ceiling debate.
In third quarter earnings commentary and guidance, several companies in a wide swath of industries have outright warned that the D.C. situation would impact fourth quarter earnings, or at least remarked that it added a measure of uncertainty. And some, such as Stanley Black & Decker and Linear Technology, have lowered their fourth quarter guidance, partially as a result of what happened in Washington.
Companies are "setting the table," said FactSet senior earnings analyst John Butters. Bringing up the government's potential impact now allows management to say "Look, we pointed this out as a potential concern early in the quarter, and now it's happening."
(Read more: Earnings: Not enough to impress, but better than feared)
Only a few companies have blamed third quarter weakness on Washington, and with good reason—the shutdown started on Oct. 1, just after the quarter ended.
But after Citigroup missed earnings expectations, CEO Mike Corbat included the D.C. situation on a laundry list of problems, saying on the earnings call that "our results reflect a challenging operating environment, including the slowdown in client activity based on uncertainty regarding Fed tapering, concerns about the effect of a U.S. government shutdown, and forecasts for slowing economic growth, particularly in the emerging markets."
The way people are treating technology companies, it's starting to feel a bit too much like 1999 and 2000, Art Cashin said on Thursday's "Futures Now."
"I do worry a little bit that we're beginning to hear things that are reminiscent of the 1999-2000 period—the number of hits, the number of eyeballs," said Cashin, the director of floor operations for UBS Financial Services.
In the heat of the tech bubble, investors infamously valued site viewers—or "eyeballs"—more highly than revenue. In one of the most dramatic examples of this, Yahoo purchased Web hosting site GeoCities for some $3.6 billion in January 1999—despite the fact that GeoCities' expenses at the time were trumping the minuscule amount of revenue the company was taking in.
Yahoo overlooked the financials in favor of the fact that it was the third-most-visited site on the Internet. But as those visitors steadily disappeared, Yahoo's decision looked the opposite of prescient.
When Cashin surveys the tech landscape today, he similarly hears rhetoric that values users over profits.
"I think if we hold to the old tried-and-true—how many dollars are coming in—then we might be better served," Cashin said. "But people are extrapolating, in some way, in a manner similar to the way they did in 1999-2000."
Gold and silver enjoyed a quick bump after Senate leaders announced a deal on the debt ceiling and government shutdown, largely on the strength of short-covering.
Many thought that a catastrophic outcome that involved the U.S. hitting the debt ceiling was gold's best hope for a sustained move higher—which left some traders surprised by gold's positive reaction to the deal announcement.
But George Gero, precious metals strategist at RBC Capital Markets, reports that gold open interest fell on the deal even as gold futures rose, meaning that traders were closing their short positions.
(Read more: Wall Street not listening to Washington anymore)
Gero said that people made debt ceiling bets by trading gold and stocks together. "One could have been a hedge against the other."
But now, with the Senate agreeing on a deal and voting about to start, "If you've been using [gold] as a trading vehicle, you want to get out, because there's no more reason to be on the short side of gold," Gero said.
In other words, if you were making a bet on gold and stocks amid the D.C. uncertainty, "You basically want to just square your book now." And for those who were shorting gold on the hunch that it would drop off of a coming deal, squaring their book means closing their short positions.
While investors fret over D.C. brinkmanship as the government gets closer and closer to the debt ceiling, "Dr. Doom" Marc Faber has other concerns on his mind.
"I think the markets will move according other events rather than what is happening in Washington," Faber said Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now."
Specifically, the publisher of the Gloom Boom & Doom Report newsletter warns of disappointing earnings, deteriorating technicals, and a decline in consumer confidence.
(Read more: Buffett: Debt limit shouldn't be weapon)
Earnings will disappoint
As companies start to report their third quarter earnings, Faber is getting nervous.
"We're coming into earnings season, and the earnings are likely to disappoint," Faber said.
And because earnings will be weaker than investors anticipate, "the market is not cheap anymore, according to different valuation methods," Faber said.
Indeed, the S&P 500's price-to-earnings ratio, the most commonly used valuation metric, has risen from 17 to more than 19 over the course of 2013.
And because stocks are getting more expensive, "the returns over the next five to 10 years will be very moderate," Faber said.
(Read more: Marc Faber: Apple 'could go bust')
Famed investor Marc Faber believes that Apple is a troubled company making an array of frivolous products—and for that reason could be on the road to bankruptcy.
"This is the kind of stock I'm really not interested in," Faber said about Apple on Tuesday's "Futures Now." "I'm not saying it will go bust," but "it could go bust eventually."
(Read more: It's official—Apple event set for Oct. 22)
Faber added that it won't go under "tomorrow" or "the day after tomorrow." But the editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report compares Apple to another technology company that's now infamous for moving slower than the times.
"This is kind of like Polaroid of the 1970s," Faber said. After all, Polaroid, like Apple, was founded and driven by a famous innovator who eventually left the company.
"Dr. [Edwin] Land, who was the founder of Polaroid, had more patents under his head than anyone else in the world," Faber noted.
In 1982, Land (who received more patents than any other American save Thomas Edison) left his seat on Polaroid's board, and gave up his research post at the company. In 2001, Polaroid filed for bankruptcy protection, and proceeded to sell off its businesses.

A swath of U.S. states are getting a big break at the pump, website GasBuddy said on Monday, with retail prices dipping below $3 a gallon for the first time in nearly a year in some areas.
According to GasBuddy—a site where motorists around the country can post and view local gas prices—16 states are seeing major gas price relief. Among them are Texas, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Florida.
In rural Texas, some lucky motorists are getting the rock-bottom price of $2.70 per gallon.
The site added that a handful of other states, including Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, could see similar relief later this week.
Gold dropped $25 in two minutes Friday morning following what appeared to be a single massive sell order, and professional traders are now pronouncing the sale a deliberate attempt to manipulate the market.
At 8:42 a.m. ET Friday morning, a firm appeared to sell 5,000 gold futures contracts "at the market," meaning at whatever price was available. The massive order was more than the market could take at once and led the CME to automatically halt trading for 10 seconds.
Eric Hunsader of Nanex told CNBC.com on Friday that 2,700 contracts were sold, which triggered the halt, and that the remaining 2,300 were sold once the market resumed trading.
(Read more: Gold's plunge blamed on one massive sell order)
Since one futures contract controls 100 troy ounces of gold, and each troy ounce was worth $1,285 at the time of the sale, this party was selling some $640 million worth of gold in one shot. And it overwhelmed the liquidity in the market.
"Anyone with knowledge of the size and volume in the market would absolutely never, ever place a 5,000 [contract] sell [order] at market, because you could not estimate the offset price," said iiTrader CEO Rich Ilczyszyn.
If Ilczyszyn's firm were placing the order, he said, "we generally would piece the order in to work a better price." That's why he believes the trade was "an error."
But Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Schiff, a longtime gold fan, infers darker motives.
"Someone's obviously trying to move the market lower," he told CNBC.com. "A legitimate seller would work a limit over time to get a good price."
Jim Iuorio, managing director at TJM Institutional Services, sees similarities between what happened to gold Friday and what happened Sept. 12, when a big gold sale at 2:54 a.m. ET similarly caused a trading halt and hurt the market.
"There is only one conclusion that seems logical regarding Friday's gold trade and the one from a month ago, and that's that they were designed to manipulate prices," Iuorio said. "They were slightly different, in that the one from a month ago was done when the market was illiquid in order to get the biggest prices movement. Friday's was done around the opening to ensure that there was maximum visibility."

Is Levi's Stadium ready for some futbol?
There are plenty of rumblings that the United States could get a second crack at hosting the 2022 World Cup now that the decision to allow Qatar to run the tournament is under review. The U.S. finished second in bidding to Qatar, which is being accused of essentially buying the bid.
No decision is likely to be made soon about the future of the '22 Cup. But it raises the question: If the good ol' USA were awarded the tournament, could the Bay Area be one of the sites? Antiquated Candlestick Park likely won't be standing at that point, and everyone who watched the ball get buffeted about by the stiff, late-spring wind – simply making the ball sit still for a corner kick was a challenge – in the recent friendly against Azerbaijan knows it's not an ideal venue anyway.
What about Levi's Stadium? As it's configured now, the field is too narrow to host a World Cup match. The dimensions for the tournament call for fields that are 70 to 80 yards wide and 110-120 yards long. A football field is 53.3 yards wide, and the 49ers' desire to bring fans as close as possible to the NFL action means they can't achieve the necessary width … without some tinkering.
I'm told that with "a few million dollars" worth of work, the corners in Levi's Stadium can be removed to accommodate a few matches. The 49ers didn't want a wider-than-desired field for a one-time event. But they'd likely concede to a quick facelift if it meant hosting some World Cup matches. Extra seating also likely would be installed in the stadium as it will be when the Bay Area hosts the Super Bowl in 2016.
Levi's Stadium and Seattle's Tinnitus Stadium are the newest NFL venues on the west coast. They, along with the Coliseum in Los Angeles, are the likeliest spots for World Cup matches in California should the 2022 tournament land here.
