My Purpose in Posting
My chief purpose on here is to help serve as a source of counter-apologetics. I wish to provide "the other side" so to speak. I want to provide answers to Christian arguments so Skeptics can have something to rebut and counter the tactics and arguments of would-be evangelists who are trying to convert them and perhaps even militant apologists who are determined to argue, and perhaps even intellectually bully, a nonbeliever or Skeptic into the Christian faith. I also want to reach out to those who are undecided and give them some information and arguments so they can make an educated and well-informed decision. It's precisely this reason that I am a participant in Tekton's "Scholarly Diplomacy Series".
Look, I see no reason to be a militant Skeptic or evangelical atheist, at least not yet. I haven't any desire to argue with anyone. I am very content just to live in peace with others and help to foster understanding and respect. This means that I am willing to do it even if respect isn't exactly mutual. The chief reasons for my posting here are that I like working with apostates who have some advanced training or academic education such as John Loftus and others on here and I want to engage in counter-apologetics. I just want to get feedback on counter-apologetic arguments and see if there are any flaws in my reasoning.
With respect!

More than 150 people turned out for a hearing in Augusta today on proposed mining rules developed by the state Department of Environmental Protection. Some favor a planned mine for northern Maine under the rules currently written. Others want any future operations to be more heavily regulated. As A.J. Higgins reports, both sides say they want rules that will serve the economic interests of the state. But beyond that, consensus is hard to find.
Thomas Doyle, an attorney representing J.D. Irving's subsidiary, Aroostook Resources, testifies before Maine's Board of Environmental Protection.
The proposed mining rules developed by staff at the DEP would apply to any mining operation in Maine. But everyone at the Board of Environmental Protection's public hearing understands that what's really involved is the future of Aroostook County.
There is currently no mining application from the New Brunswick-based subsidiary of the J.D. Irving Group of Companies, but the company owns 500 acres on Bald Mountain, where gold, silver and other valuable metals can be found in its bedrock.
Phil Daggett owns a sporting lodge about 15 miles away. He supports the possibility because he says Aroostook County's economy is on its last legs.
"This is certainly an opportunity to take a really good look at what we can do to foster more opportunity and more businesses," said Phil Daggett. "And certainly if there's ever a time that we need to step forward and work on this issue, it is now."
And "now" can't come soon enough for Portage Lake realtor Barbara Pitcairn.
"Our town is starving for economic growth, our county is starving for an opportunity to support itself, its communities and its citizens," Pitcairn said. "Bald Mountain project can offer us this opportunity."
That's why Pitcairn and other supporters of the Bald Mountain project want the BEP to develop new statewide mining rules that would not discourage Irving from investing in Bald Mountain. The company's subsidiary, Aroostook Resources, Inc., is represented by Thomas Doyle, of the Pierce Atwood law firm. And Doyle says several of the rules developed by the DEP might do just that.
One rule in particular that he wants changed is a provision that specifies that only cash can be used to fund a financial insurance mechanism to ensure that mining companies have the financial resources to cover the costs of financial cleanups. Doyle says that's not how the system works in other states.
"There's no reason, for example, not to allow a surety bond or an irrevocable letter of credit from a strong financial institution to serve as a funding mechanism for a mining operation providing any mining waste," Doyle said. "This is routinely allowed around the United States."
Doyle also took aim at those who support tough mining rules that he says harbor an ulterior motive.
"Understand that their goal is to establish such stringent standards, and create so many obstacles, to metallic mineral mining in Maine that no project will ever move forward at Bald Mountain or elsewhere," Doyle said.
But Nick Bennett, a staff scientist for the Natural Resources Council of Maine, takes issue with Doyle's assertion - even though he opposes the proposed rules.
"If you have good standards for mining, then I think we can have mining in Maine," Bennett said.
Bennett says the NRCM wants to ensure that any mining company will maintain a financial insurance fund large enough to cover any damage that its operations might cause to land, water and air quality. He also wants the BEP to strengthen rules to keep groundwater contamination to a minimum, and to develop a regulatory structure for mining that is less sprawling and more focused.
That lack of clarity makes Aroostook County residents, such as Shelly Mountain of Mapleton, suspicious - even when she gets an offer from the head of the Irving operation that wants to build the mine.
"Jim Irving promises that when all is said and done, he will drink the water from Bald Mountain - that's not reassuring to me at all," Mountain said.
The state Board of Environmental Protection must report its new mining rules back to the Legislature by Jan. 10.

White Ribbon – Scene 1 – Watch more Movie Trailers Well, the 2009 Festival de Cannes wrapped up, and the winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or was not, in fact, Lars von Trier's Willem Dafoe's Bare Ass and Mutilated Balls. Nay, the honor went to Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon (Das weiße Band), a film about the strange happenings in 1913 at a German school dealing with ritual punishment. Haneke also directed the torture film, Funny Games. By our estimates, this makes him the German Judd Apatow. Check out the other clip from the film – conveniently translated into English for those of us who don't sprechen ze Deutsch, if you know what I mean. And if you do, you sprechen ze Deutsch, so just make sure your speakers are on.

This morning, Slashfilm's Brendon Connelly posted three clips from Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which just screened at Cannes and wowed the critics, many of whom framed their reviews around this being Heath Ledger's final film. The first clip features the recently departed actor donning a mask that gives me the creeps/flashbacks to Eyes Wide Shut and Amadeus, and wooing a small crowd of curious bystanders. I couldn't help but notice a few tiny Joker-like nuances in the way Ledger moves in this scene. Still hadn't shaken the clown when he shot this, I suppose. The other clips, which you can see after the jump, are a little more . One features Christopher Plummer as the titular character, and a lot of cool SFX that's a little LOTR, a little Harry Potter, and a lot Gilliam. The other features actress Lily Cole doing her best Lolita while Verne "Mini-Me" Troyer drives a horse-drawn carriage. Not as adorable as one would think. This is Gilliam, after all. He could make the Muppet Babies off-putting.
Director: Terry GilliamCast: Johnny Depp, Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole Synopsis: A fantastical morality tale, set in the present day, telling the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.

Bruce Willis is back, bald and with a full head of hair! How is that possible, you ask? Well it's easy when you're playing a bald man plugged into a machine that allows you to control your thick haired carbon copy. The trailer for the new sci-fi/action thriller Surrogates hit the 'nets today and it looks like a doozy of a concept. Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others' surrogates. The film comes from director Jonathan Mostow, who also directed Terminator 3, U-571, and Breakdown starring Kurt Russell (awesome!). Take a look at the trailer after the jump, let us know what you think – like whether or not you like Ving Rhames in dreadlocks.

Remember those non-amusing comic strips that came with that non-chewable gum you used to buy as a kid? Well, good news! Michael Eisner is bringing the adventures of Bazooka Joe to the big screen, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Every year thousands upon thousands of filmmakers struggle to get their work on screen and have their dreams crushed when they fail to do so. But for some reason, Bazooka Joe gets to be a movie. And it will probably be released in DIGITAL 3D.It's only a matter of time before we see something like this on the silver screen: Check out these other morning news pieces… Twilight star beats up fans.

Well, Memorial Day is upon us: a time to reflect on all those who fought for our country. Try to fit some time for that into your three-day weekend… maybe in between screenings of Terminator Salvation and Star Trek. After all, war is, as the saying goes, hell… but war movie dialogue totally blows us away! (Oh yes we did!!) Yeah…watching guys get shot up into less grotesque versions of the "Real Housewives of New York City" is awesome, but some of the high caliber conversation from war flicks sticks with you longer than a Vietnam flashback. Here are some of our favorite lines from war flicks that have left the biggest scars on our memories…

It appears Rian Johnson, the mastermind behind Brick and The Brothers Bloom, has decided to record and make available a downloadable commentary podcast to coincide with the expansion of Brothers Bloom's limited release. With movie tickets costing the price of what a kidney goes for on the black market nowadays, I'm sure tons of people are really excited about forking over the price for two tickets to see the movie with and without commentary. Then again, I saw Brick twice in theaters, so maybe Johnson's filmmaking is just badass enough to convince me to do this. Or maybe I'm just lonely enough to see a movie twice with an iPhone podcast as my only company. Find the link to the commentary after the jump!
The Hangover is a comedy about a bachelor party in Las Vegas that loses the groom. The morning after their night of debauchery, they have to reconstruct their party to locate their missing friend.

Today's the big day… Judgment Day has happened… the Machines have Risen… but Salvation is on our doorsteps. Despite a 34% score on RottenTomatoes (as of this post), Terminator Salvation, which opens today, will most likely pack 'em into theaters like a Harvester bagging meatsacks. And Bryce Dallas Howard (above) is another reason to go see it. Unless you're listening to Harry Knowles' scathing review, which states that all Bryce was did during the film was "open her eyes really wide." In the film, Bryce plays Kate Connor, the wife of John Connor – a role originated in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, by Claire Danes. And as you'll see from the picture above and the ones after the jump, if there's any actress whose baby blues we'd like to see widening repeatedly on screen, it's Ms. Howard.Narrow your eyes in the blinding beauty of Bryce photos after the jump.

Bad news for Fringe fans, it seems that J.J. Abrams and Co. have dicked over Kirk Acevedo, the actor who plays Charlie on the series.

It's a shame because Acevedo is a very talented and interesting performer who was consistently under-utilized on the sci-fi serial.

Tomorrow, Terminator Salvation opens, and there's been a lot of controversy surrounding its PG-13 rating. You see, it's the first Terminator flick that's been anything less than an "R," and the question remains as to whether or not that means watered down. One decidely R-Rated moment chopped from the film is a topless Moon Bloodgood (above), who plays Blair Williams, a badass lady pilot for the Resistance. Where Else You've Seen Her:You might recognize her as Livia Beale, time-jumping hero Dan Vasser's ex on the short-lived NBC series, "Journeyman." She also had a brief scene in What Just Happened, the Barry Levinson-directed comedy starring Robert DeNiro as a Hollywood producer losing his mind. And she's also got a couple episodes of "Burn Notice" under her belt, which is not the only accessory she's not wearing in any of the photos after the jump. Random Quote: "I'm into chivalry. As much as I'm a guy's girl with a potty mouth, a polite man who opens the door is so refreshing."Click "MORE" for more photos of Ms. Bloodgood.
Quentin Tarantino's WW2 opus Inglourious Basterds dropped at Cannes last night, and was met with mixed reviews. Lots of folks loved it, but we heard it through the grapevine (the grapevine being our friends at Pajiba), that some snooty type from The Guardian called it "Cannes' Turkey." And while they haven't commented yet, we're sure the Nazi Film Critics Society pooped all over it. They hate everything but Mel Gibson movies.

And then watch the other two after the jump.
SAM RAIMI knows horror. Sure, he's spent the last decade filming a certain web-slinger swinging from skyscrapers, but he's finally returned to the genre where he established his unique visual style. In Drag Me To Hell, Raimi dusts off his duffel bag of detached eyeballs, maggot puke, and thrashing demonic heads… And, well, it's been worth the wait, to say the least.

Dr. Fanton did a second surgery on my knee and I am so thankful that I found him. The first surgeon I had left me with permanent numbness on the side of my knee; no feeling at all and probably little circulation. After my surgery with Dr. Fanton the only numbness I had was what was left from the first surgery. there was "ZERO" numbness from Dr. Fanton's surgery. Dr Fanton is a fabulous surgeon and specializes on certain body parts. I was even told before my first appointment that if the Xrays showed that I had an advanced stage of arthritis that Dr. Fanton would not work on me and would refer me to a specialist in the same outpatient clinic. I really appreciated that Dr. Fanton was not a doctor that was so desperate for the business that he would attempt to do anything. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Fanton if he speciallizes in the body part you need fixed, and one of them is the "KNEE." He gets an A+ in my book.

Cost of Jewish education
The issue of affordability of day-school education remains the elephant in the room in terms of Jewish communal priorities in Ontario. Everyone knows that the problem exists, yet after the debacles of the past few elections, the issue appears dormant on the communal agenda. Whether the issue is politically dead in Ontario is debatable. Both the former and current leader of the Liberal party bear the primary responsibility for cynically twisting and turning the issue in such a way to render it unpalatable to the vast majority of the Ontario public.
Leo Baeck Day School's tuition subsidy initiative, of up to $5,000 per student for eligible families, is to be lauded as a step in the right direction. The fact that the upper eligibility range of that new initiative reaches salaries of $350,000 should serve as a wake-up call to the entire community as to the true severity of the education-funding problem in Ontario.
Parents in Montreal are finding the fees of $7,000 to $8,000 per year difficult. Those of us in Ontario, where elementary school fees are double that figure, can only say "halevay – would that were the case here!" In the meantime, the problem continues to worsen, slowly rendering Ontario a less-than-desirable place for the younger generation to establish their own Jewish households in the future.

Treat all with equal respect at Wall
I cannot understand why anyone would be arrested for praying at the Western Wall ("10 women arrested at Western Wall," Feb. 14). A group of women have gathered at the back of the women's section at the Western Wall for their monthly prayers since 1988. A ban in effect in Israel states that women are not allowed to wear tfillin while praying at the Western Wall. They were arrested for breaking the ban, but they were later released without charge.
I am a 15-year-old Jewish girl and I believe that just because these women chose to display their religion differently than the acccepted Orthodox norm for women praying at the Western Wall does not mean they were wrong. They were standing at the back of the women's section, where they would not have disturbed others. I believe that the Western Wall should be a place where all Jews can pray regardless of their traditions or practice. It is not a private synagogue. It should be open to all forms of Judaism. Everyone must be treated with equal respect.

I generally dislike euphemisms and politically correct speech. Too often, they conceal true meaning and impact. For many years, and to some extent even today, many Jews called themselves "Hebrews" or "Israelites," because the term "Jew" had too negative a meaning in many parts of gentile society. Fortunately nowadays, most Jews are proud to call themselves just that.
I think it is time to get rid of another term that is used worldwide and in the pages of The CJN. The term is "antisemitism." It was coined in the 19th century for anti-Jewish political movements in Europe. Today, we even refer to the absurdity of "Arab antisemitism," which is ridiculous, given that Arabs are themselves Semites. It also falsely conveys an aura of almost respectability. I never use it. I call it what it is: Jew hatred. Just as the term Israel bashing is a new and good one, being used often to describe the unreasonable and mindless worldwide attacks on Israel (and is often a disguised form of Jew hatred), so this term, conveys exactly what it is. If we are going to defeat the enemy, we must first know it.

StandWithUs arranged events for Israelis
The article "Israeli students aim to dispel myths about home" (March 7) failed to acknowledge the significant role played by StandWithUs (SWU) Canada during the visit to Canada of the Israeli student group WordSwap. As a member of SWU Canada's board, I had the wonderful opportunity to share a memorable dinner and conversation with eight of the WordSwap members at interfaith advocate Raheel Raza's home, arranged by Meryle Kates, executive director of SWU Canada.
StandWithUs (standwithus.com) arranged many community events for WordSwap's participation. These included a reception at the home of the Canadian director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, Donna Holbrook; participation in the Ignite Christian Conference; presentation of a Purim play and workshop at Catch the Fire Church, and visits to Congregation Darchei Noam and Beth Sholom Synagogue. Together with Hillel, we assisted WordSwap by setting up tables on campus and providing well-received StandWithUs materials. We also helped Hillel co-ordinate Innovation Israel during their visit.

It is almost time to Relay!
The annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Hutchinson County kicks off Friday, June 10, at 7 p.m. and will run through 7 a.m. Saturday, June 11. The event will be held at Huber Park in Borger.
This year's relay will be a celebration of cancer survivorship, and is a way to raise much-needed funds to help find a cure for cancer and funding programs that assist those in Hutchinson County suffering from the disease.
"The event will celebrate the lives of hundreds of local residents who have survived cancer, while offering the hope of finding a cure and paying tribute to those lost to the disease," Judy Allen, a member of this year's Relay For Life committee, said.
Following the opening ceremonies, which start around 7 p.m., one of the highlights of the evening includes a survivors' lap. Around 7:30 p.m., local cancer survivors and their caregivers will walk a victory lap around the track.
"The involvement of local cancer survivors is proof of the progress that has been made in improving cancer survival rates and the quality of life following cancer treatment," Kathie Harber, event co-chair for the ACS Relay For Life of Hutchinson County Committee, said.
A luminaria ceremony is scheduled to honor cancer survivors and remember those who lost the fight against the disease. Candle lighting will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. or dusk and luminaria bags for the ceremony can be purchased for a donation the night of the event.
Following the luminaria ceremony, a pictorial DVD presentation honoring survivors and remembering those lost will be shown.
RFL is an overnight community event that brings together teams of families, friends, churches, neighborhoods, and businesses - all with the goal of conquering cancer. Teams of walkers have a constant presence on the track throughout the night, walking in shifts to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
A full program of entertainment is planned, which includes music, team fundraising activities, theme laps, a silent and live auction, and contests all through the night. In addition to the food available at their booths, teams will have raffles and various items for sale.
Due to the extreme dry weather conditions, the originally planned fireworks have been canceled for the RFL event.
RFL is a handicapped-accessible event. Funds raised during RFL help support the American Cancer Society's mission of eliminating cancer by helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures, and fighting back.
• Helping you stay well. Finding cancer early can mean the difference between life and death. The Society helps you take steps to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest and provide the most up-to-date information about how to reduce your cancer risk by healthy lifestyle choices. Contact 1-800-227-22345 or cancer.org for more information.
• Helping you get well. Having cancer is hard. Finding help shouldn't be. The Society is in
your corner, around the clock to guide you through your cancer experience. The Society
can help patients and their families make informed decisions about care, find moral
support from others who have been there and offer practical solutions to daily challenges.
• Finding cures. The Society funds and conducts groundbreaking research that helps
scientists understand cancer's causes, determine how best to prevent it, and discover new
ways to cure it. The Society is the largest private funder of cancer research.
• Fighting Back. Cancer is not just a health issue, but a political issue. The Society
advocates for people to have access to critical cancer screenings and follow-up treatment
– regardless of income. Some examples include: increasing government funding for
cancer research, establishing smoke-free policies, and improving access to affordable,
quality healthcare.
RFL, the American Cancer Society's largest signature and most successful national fundraiser, is evolving into a worldwide movement to end cancer. So far, RFL events have raised $351 million at more than 5,000 sites throughout the United States and takes place in 20 other countries.
For more information about the American Cancer Society, call 1-800-227-2345, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or visit www.cancer.org.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After watching ten buildings burn in Lewiston this month, Auburn City officials are keeping a closer eye on their own vacant and condemned properties.
The City of Auburn has compiled a list of at least 65 buildings for inspection and patrol.
The Auburn Fire Department already does building inspections every Thursday, but now, members of the Volunteers in Police Service program are checking on those bulidings, too.
"It has become a bigger priority," said Eric Cousens, Director of Planning and Permitting.
He said Auburn's vacant and condemned buildings are more scattered throughout the city than Lewiston's, which adds a challenge.
"I think it may make it a little more difficult as far as monitoring, because you have to travel farther to cover all the buildings," said Cousens.
In Lewiston, city officials are pleased with the efforts to address condemned properties.
According to Deputy CIty Administrator Phil Nadeau, Lewiston Firefighters will have inspected every buliding on their targeted list by next week.
The Department of Corrections has supplied additional labor to help Lewiston Public Works board up condemned properties, and dispose of items left inside.
"We're actually using crews to take the fuel out of some of these vacant properties, so that's the additional step that we just simply wouldn't have time to do," said Nadeau.
He said the Lewiston Punch Program, which encourages landlords to dispose of debris, has been successful in its first two weeks.
So far, the city has collected more than 25 tons of debris.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study would be a prospective cohort study, stratified by weight. Patients who are stable on nevirapine for at least 3 months prior to study entry, but no more than 1year will be recruited. For 1 week, subjects will take their morning dose of nevirapine in the clinic (and be observed taking it), and given their evening dose to take at home. Subjects will need to record the date and time they take their evening dose. At the end of the week, the subjects will be sequestered at the clinic for blood draws for a 12hr pharmacokinetic sampling. They will not be brought back in at 24hrs as they will need to be redosed after 12hrs. They will have Liver Function Tests (LFT's) and other labs drawn at study entry, and one month after the end of study. Pharmacokinetic levels will be analyzed using standard mathematical models, and Area Under the Curve (AUC), Maximum concentration (Cmax), and Minimum Concentration (Cmin) will be compared between groups.

Rapid network expansion and upstream muscle are the unstoppable forces pushing Lukoil to the fore of fuel retailing in central and eastern Europe (CEE). The firm is the key mover in the region, expanding its site presence by a remarkable 180% over the past three years. But selling petrol is not simply a numbers game: Lukoil is also successfully incorporating a strong shop proposition.
The UK-based Kingfisher is set to introduce a franchise model as part of its long-term growth plans, which are to be announced in the first quarter of 2011. This initiative will enable Kingfisher to expand quickly, reduce the impact of difficult trading conditions in the UK and increase its hold over the European market.
Inditex, Europe's largest clothing retailer, has so far managed to avoid the worst of the current economic crisis, registering strong sales growth in 2008 on the back of sustained rapid international expansion. It is well positioned to tackle an even tougher 2009, but a weaker outlook for European retail could pose difficulties for a retailer that receives the bulk of its sales from the continent.
Two recent developments show how western energy utilities are increasingly turning their attention to the opportunities in central and eastern Europe. While shorter term market dynamics mean that these markets often remain challenging environments to operate in, their longer term development potential mean that gaining early mover advantage in central and eastern Europe is a judicious move.
Czech utility CEZ aims to enhance its position as a tier one energy company by focusing on the Balkan states in southeastern Europe. The company hopes that this strategy will complement its existing activities on the Continent and boost its relatively uncompetitive scale. CEZ's strategy is especially astute, given that the growth in the Balkans' demand for energy is unmatched elsewhere in Europe.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures settled sharply lower Friday to lose more than 3% for the week, as upbeat U.S. economic data helped dull its haven appeal, prompting prices to briefly breach the $1,600-an-ounce support level.
News that George Soros's hedge fund cut holdings on a major gold fund also added pressure as investors assessed reported comments from the Group of 20 nations, as group gathered in Moscow for a two-day meeting.
Social media analysis and the NYSE
Hedge funds and high-frequency trading firms subscribing to NYSE Euronext will soon be getting real-time social-media analysis.
"Looks like technical selling pressure, along with a 'herd' mentality as prominent funds such as [Soros Fund Management] cut back on gold positions," said Jeffrey Wright, managing director at Global Hunter Securities. Prices may either go lower and "test the $1,550 level in the next couple of weeks or snap back if perceived value buying returns."
Gold futures for delivery in April US:GCJ3 dropped $26, or 1.6%, to settle at $1,609.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange after touching a low at $1,596.70.
According to FactSet Data, that was the lowest settlement price for a most-active contract since Aug. 15. For the week, prices lost 3.4%, the largest weekly percentage decline since the week ended June 22.
"Speculation that G-20 may water down yen weakness" was among the reasons for gold's fall, said Chintan Karnani, an independent bullion analyst based in New Delhi. "Buy stop losses got triggered when gold fell below $1,619, adding to the selling wave."
News reports said the draft of a communiqué to be issued by G-20 finance ministers and central bankers on Saturday contains a pledge to avoid competitive devaluations but that Japan won't be taken to task for policies that have contributed to the yen's sharp fall versus major rivals since last fall.
The news cut short a rebound by the Japanese yen USDJPY, +0.26% with the dollar trading at 93.41 yen, up from ¥92.85 late Thursday. The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.43% climbed to 80.491, from 80.288 in North America late on Thursday.
A stronger dollar often puts pressure on commodities, including gold, by making their prices more expensive to holders of other currencies. See: Yen rebound falters with focus on G-20.
"There is some degree of certainty on G-20 statement on currency price movement," said Karnani. "If there was an uncertainty or confusion over G-20 currency statement, then gold would not have fallen this much."
Meanwhile, mainland Chinese markets were set to reopen Monday following the Lunar New Year holidays.
"Lack of physical demand from Asia in recent days and today may have exacerbated the sell off" in gold, said Mark O'Byrne, director at GoldCore.
If prices settle below $1,600, the next support level stands at $1,550 an ounce, he said, "but the monetary backdrop of global currency wars should support gold at these levels." Read Commodities Corner: How gold will benefit from a currency war.
Data deluge
Adding pressure to gold prices were mostly upbeat economic data out of the U.S.

Air Force officials released the details of the fiscal year 2012 Aviator Continuation Pay program this week, with continuing focus on retaining highly-qualified manned and remotely piloted aircraft rated crew members.
The ACP program gives some pilots and combat systems officers the opportunity for a financial bonus in exchange for an active duty service commitment agreement, said Lt. Col. Gerard Ryan, Rated Force Policy Branch Chief.
"ACP is one of the programs we use to retain skill sets in the rated community. Our focus is more than today or a year from today – we're working to develop the right experience and skills to support future Air Force and joint warfighter mission requirements," said Ryan.
There are five ACP options for eligible Airmen, ranging from a five-year agreement for initial-eligible pilots to a three-, four-, or five-year agreement for uncommitted-eligible combat system officers trained as RPA pilots, he explained. Each option offers different payment amounts and installment terms, which are fully-explained in the ACP program announcement, available on the Air Force Personnel Services website.
"Our goal this year is to influence retention in very specific mission areas based on forecasted shortages" Ryan said. "While the program is open to all initial eligible pilots, this year's program further incentivizes our critical shortages in RPA and fighter pilots with a 50 percent upfront payment option. Uncommitted pilots with fewer than 13 years service and fighter CSOs who will complete their active duty service commitment this fiscal year are also eligible for this program."
The fiscal 2012 ACP program was developed with an eye on future requirements resulting from the recently announced force structure changes, said Col. Ken Sersun, Military Force Policy Division Chief.
It is one of many force management tools that enable leaders to develop balanced, trained, and experienced forces composed of professionals in critical war-fighting career fields, he explained.
"It takes time and a significant monetary investment to train and develop our rated aircrew. Consequently, ACP is a program aimed at retaining critical warfighting experience," the colonel said.
