...short term, [and] have now found themselves in trouble with the authorities. Gambling should be regulated, we're very comfortable with that. There are things that need to be safeguarded - how you look after vulnerable people, how you make sure it's a clean, above board business, etc. - you don't achieve that by prohibiting business. You achieve it by regulating it. The U.S. has tried prohibition once before and it wasn't a roaring success. And I think they'll find the same thing here. I don't know how long it will take, but I'm more confident...
...year-old Sandor, who began his career as an economics professor at University of California, Berkeley, made his name pioneering the development of financial futures at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1970s, an accomplishment that gave him a reputation for seeing value where others couldn't. (Financial futures effectively bet on shifting interest rates, allowing traders to hedge the risk of interest rate changes.) That experience made him confident in challenging financial orthodoxy.

The College Events Board (CEB) estimated that 7,000 people were present for Wu-Tang and about 5,000 stayed for Gavin DeGraw. They said 1,500 to 2,000 people attended last year’s show...
...catch politicians in flip-flops or mistakes. Last night, for example, Gibson tried to nail Obama over capital gains taxes, revealing only his own misunderstanding of the difference between correlation and causation. For all the back-and-forth over a crazy Weatherman he once served with on a board, Obama never got to tell voters that he opposed the war in Iraq from the start. For all the back-and-forth over her Tuzla goof - Obama stayed out of it, although he acknowledged that his campaign aides addressed it when asked - Clinton never got to mention anything she's done...
