I wonder why this is happening and should help the cause.

Gold demand likely to soar
By Galal Fakkar, Special to Arab News

JEDDAH, 31 October — The demand for gold in the Kingdom is expected to increase by more than 20 percent during the last quarter of this year, market analysts said. They attributed the increase to a growing trend to invest in gold amid fears of an imminent US attack on Iraq.

Osama Al-Wazir, director of World Gold Council for the Gulf countries, said he expected increase in gold sales over the coming months as a result of new developments in the region.

Muhammad ibn Saeed of Al-Amoudi Currency Exchange Center said there was big demand for gold coins and biscuits in recent months as many people, especially expatriates, wanted to preserve their money in the form of gold as a safe investment.

The WGC reported recently that there was a 16 percent increase in gold sales in the Kingdom and other Gulf states during the first half of this year.

OT/Dennis, saw a great ranking of all time NFL backs the other day, from 1 to 50. Wished I could remember where, I'd post it. I pretty well agreed with it.

Brown was 1st. I think it was then Smith, then Peyton or vice versa. Sanders I believe was 4th.

I haven't seen too much film on Brown. Before my time. What a physical specimen however, about perfect for a back. I really liked to watch T. Davis when the Broncos were smoking - sure too bad he had to quit.
