From the Tuesday, December 2, 2003 Daily News editorial page:

 

You swam a long way, baby

 

At a time when most women got no closer to athletics than dancing the Charleston, Gertrude Ederle made a historic splash. The butcher's daughter from Amsterdam Ave. was the first woman to swim the English Channel - and was faster than the five men who preceded her.

 

Ederle returned home to a ticker-tape parade as one of the 1920's most beloved sports heroes. This self-described "water baby" died Sunday at age 97, still a symbol of an adventurous decade and of what a lone woman can accomplish.

At 7AM EST, I watched them gapping the YM bids 6 points above the offer. It went from 2 contracts bid at 9884 x 1 offered at 9887 to 9 bid at 9894 x 2 offered at 9887. Flipped around like that for a few seconds, then back again, then the offers ran away to 9895.

 

Dirty cheating bastards. One day, a tidal wave of offers will swamp these criminal manipulators. I intend to be tits short when it happens, too.

From the Office of Workforce Security:

 

In the week ending Nov. 29, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 365,000, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 354,000. The 4-week moving average was 362,500, an increase of 3,000 from the previous week's revised average of 359,500.

Just simply amazing how gold gets slammed and stock futures get jammed at exactly the same time repeatedly. Right back to the first play in the same playbook. Yep, it's all a conspiracy. There is no matrix and the greenman is working only in the interests of what is best for us. :o B)

The figure does not include some 810,000 Americans receiving extended federal benefits that are available only after workers have exhausted their state benefits, typically after six months

Remember the crowing last week? From last Wednesday's IDS:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans lining up to file an initial claim for jobless aid fell last week to its lowest level since early 2001, the government said on Wednesday in a better-than-expected report showing layoffs easing.

 

Well, for the second time now, as we predicted last week, this week's revision quashed last week's "lowest level".
