Gold futures or stocks? Analyst picks stocks.

Gold futures fall below $1,600 an ounce. Noted economist Gartman sees stocks outperforming gold futures.

On a day in which?gold prices?hovered around $1,600 an ounce, widely followed investor?Dennis Gartman?said there were better plays around.

Skip to next paragraph

??I think one is going to do better by owning steel, owning copper, owning railroads, owning Apple, than one will doing being long of the gold market,? he said Tuesday. ?Up until August of last year, gold seriously outperformed equities.?

?U.S. gold futures?dipped 0.7 percent to close at $1,594.80 an ounce, while?spot gold?closed down $12 at $1,592.96.

The noted economist and editor of?The Gartman Letter?said on ?Fast Money? that the precious metal continued to lag and reiterated his neutral view on the trade.

?Gartman made headlines when he announced that he had?sold all the gold in his personal account, a move he said was justified.

??Gold has begun to seriously underperform equities, and I moved, rather shockingly, to the point of being out of the gold market and long of equities against the euro, and it?s been a wonderful trade,? he said.

?Last week, Gartman predicted that the?S&P 500 would outperform gold and global stocks.

?For now, it would take significant trading action to get him back in the gold trade.

??We?ve seen reversals on charts before where you make a new low and then close higher on the day,? he said. ?We?re going to have to see that sort of price action rather than price itself, or rather than some event.?

Casey Anthony sued for defamation

The man who found 2-year-old Caylee Anthony's body in 2008 is suing her mother for damages, saying Casey Anthony defamed him during her murder trial earlier this year.

Former meter reader Roy Kronk said in a lawsuit filed in Florida on Wednesday that 25-year-old Anthony and her lawyers tried to shift suspicion away from the young mother and on to him.

Kronk testified he found Caylee's body in the woods near Anthony's home and called police. Casey Anthony was charged with killing her daughter, but a jury acquitted her in July.

In the suit, Kronk claims the defense variously accused him of involvement in Caylee's death. He said lawyers described him as a killer, a child snatcher and morally bankrupt, and accused him of finding and keeping Caylee's body and then placing the remains where they were found.

But defense attorney Jose Baez also told jurors Caylee accidentally drowned in the family's backyard pool. If that was true, then Anthony and her lawyers knew their statements about Kronk were false, according to his complaint.

Story: Retired prosecutor calls Casey Anthony attorney 'smarmy'

Kronk also has sued the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla for defamation.

In a motion to dismiss, the Enquirer claims its article accurately reported Anthony's attempt to blame Kronk and was based on documents filed in court records by her lawyers.

Padilla, who once bailed Anthony out of jail prior to her trial, contends in court records that anything he said about Kronk was opinion and related to a matter of public concern.

Kronk's suit against Anthony is the third she faces in Florida.

She is being sued for defamation by a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez, who claims her life was ruined when Anthony initially told investigators Caylee was kidnapped by a nanny of the same name.

Anthony also is being sued for damages by Texas EquuSearch, a nonprofit group, for expenses incurred during the five-month search for Caylee.

Also on Wednesday, a lawyer for Anthony filed a motion asking that a prosecutor be held in contempt of court for revealing details of her psychiatric evaluations in his new book about the case.

Jeff Ashton, who retired after Anthony's trial, published details from the depositions of two psychiatrists in his book, "Imperfect Justice." The doctors said Anthony claimed she had been molested by her father and her father had drowned Caylee.

Judge Belvin Perry sealed the depositions from public view before the trial began because the allegations were so sensational, according to Ashton, and Anthony's lawyers never called the psychiatrists as witnesses at trial.

Ashton could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

Gamers: Hackers Latest Hot Target | TeamSHATTER

When I read the data breach notification from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest game producer Square Enix this morning I got to thinking that we?ve seen a lot of gaming services get cleaned out recently by hackers. It?s a trend that?s been going on all year, ever since thieves hit the mother lode when they penetrated Sony?s PlayStation and Online Entertainment networks. After Sony, we heard from Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft XBOX, Steam Network, and Nexon (Maple Story), and now Square Enix about their own data breaches.?

So why has stealing data from gaming companies become such a focus area for attackers? Well, of course, it?s because there?s gold in them there hills. ?

In each of these attacks, it appears that the target was the same; information about the gamers who use the services. Usually this includes email addresses, personal info, and billing history. Sometimes they get passwords and credit card numbers too ? but that data is almost always encrypted, hashed or otherwise reasonably protected. You might be asking yourself, what?s the point?

Well, think about it. Gamers who have accounts on these services all share some common traits that make them prime targets for many types of scams. We know they all enjoy playing video games, and that they are enjoying those games while connected to the internet. ?We know they all have the means to purchase gaming systems and games to run on those systems. We know that they are all comfortable with doing some business online. When you combine those common traits with the data on each gamer, you can quickly build a list of prime targets to scam out of some money, recruit into a botnet, etc.

I suspect these attacks are all about filling a sales pipeline of sorts. Finding the list of people who will be receptive to an offer to play a new version of a favorite game, or to download some customizations or cheat codes becomes a lot easier when you know who games, how much they game, how much they spend on gaming, and perhaps most importantly what specific games they enjoy. It would hard for a sports gaming fan to ignore that offer to load up this year?s stats for the players in their game. It would be hard for a fantasy gaming fan to bypass the offer of a new world to explore, or some new weapon or power that no other player has. With roughly 200 million gamer?s info stolen this year alone, the crooks out there have a pretty large list of leads to follow up on.

If you are a gamer and you use any online gaming network or service, please be vigilant and cautious. Don?t click on any offer that comes in via email, and don?t go purchasing (or even signing up for) anything gaming related unless you are doing so direct from the software manufacturer or gaming network. If you get some interesting offer over email that you can?t resist following up on, you can still do that without clicking the link. If you?re being offered some pre-release of a game or customizations, go to the game vendors website directly and look for the offer there. If you don?t see it, reach out to their support team and ask them about the offer you received. Do some homework and make sure you?re not going to end up victimized before you let your excitement for a new/better gaming experience to get the best of you.

If you are a gaming company, it?s time to turn the focus of your IT security efforts away from the network perimeter and start putting protections around the databases that house your customer information and intellectual property. There are plenty of great solutions out there that can detect misuse or suspicious access to sensitive information, and take action to immediately alert your incident response team to the situation while automatically stopping an attacker before your data starts to leave the network. If you?re not monitoring and controlling access to all of your sensitive databases 24/7, you are leaving yourself exposed to the same kind of attack that so many companies have fallen victim to this year. It?s yet another layer in your already complex security infrastructure for sure. But ask yourself, would a bank build a branch office without a vault to store the cash? Of course they wouldn?t. In your business, a lot of your cash equivalent assets are your data. Follow the bank?s lead and put that cash in a vault by locking down your sensitive databases and making sure those databases are always used appropriately and only by those with authorization to use them.

Japan declares tsunami-crippled nuke plant stable

(AP) ? Japan's prime minister has announced that the tsunami-devastated Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant has reached a "cold shutdown" and is no longer leaking substantial amounts of radiation.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's announcement Friday marks a milestone nine months after the March 11 tsunami sent three reactors at the plant into meltdowns in the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

But experts noted that the plant remains vulnerable to more problems and will take decades to decommission the plant.

The crisis displaced some 100,000 people. Officials are to start discussing allowing some residents to return to less contaminated areas. A 12-mile (20-kilometer) zone around the plant is expected to remain mostly off-limits for years.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

TOKYO (AP) ? Japan's government was to declare Friday that the tsunami-devastated Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant had finally achieved a "cold shutdown," meaning it has stabilized and is no longer leaking substantial amounts of radiation.

The announcement would mark a big milestone nine months after the March 11 tsunami touched off a crisis at the plant and sent three of its reactors into meltdowns. Experts noted, however, that the facility remains vulnerable to more problems and will take decades of difficult and dangerous work to safely close down.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda was to announce the government's assessment of conditions at the plant in a news conference later Friday.

The government's official endorsement of the claim by Tokyo Electric Power Co. that the reactors have reached cold shutdown status is a necessary step toward revising evacuation zones around the plant and focusing efforts from simply stabilizing the facility to actually starting the arduous process of shutting it down.

But the assessment has some important caveats.

The announcement is expected to say Fukushima has reached cold shutdown "conditions"? a less definitive phrasing reflecting the fact that TEPCO cannot measure temperatures of melted fuel in the damaged reactors in the same way as with normally functioning ones. So the government also attached additional conditions to be met, including minimizing radiation leaks around the plant and taking backup safety measures to ensure Fukushima's wrecked reactors are safely cooled.

Even so, the announcement would mark the end of the second phase of the government's lengthy roadmap to completely decommission the plant, which is expected to take 30 years or more.

Officials can now start discussing whether to allow some evacuated residents who lived in areas with lesser damage from the plant to return home ? although a 12-mile (20-kilometer) zone around the plant is expected to remain off limits for years to come.

Some 100,000 people were displaced by the crisis.

A cold shutdown normally means a nuclear reactor's coolant system is at atmospheric pressure and the its reactor core is at a temperature below 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), making it impossible for a chain reaction to take place.

According to TEPCO, temperature gauges inside the Fukushima reactors show the pressure vessel is at around 70 C (158 F). The government also says the amount of radiation now being released around the plant is at or below 1 millisievert per year ? equivalent to the annual legal exposure limit for ordinary citizens before the crisis began.

Ousted shah's son wants Iran leader tried in court (AP)

PARIS ? The exiled son of the toppled shah of Iran plans to ask the United Nations to bring Iran's supreme leader before an international court on charges of crimes against humanity.

Reza Pahlavi's father, the late Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, was ousted in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. The ultimate leader of the government that runs the country now is a cleric, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Pahlavi is among exiles working for regime change in Iran. He said at a Paris news conference Thursday that Khamenei must be held responsible for executions, jailing and torture of political dissidents.

Pahlavi says he will submit a complaint about Khamenei to the five permanent U.N. Security Council members along with a report of the cleric's alleged crimes that will be constantly updated.

Payroll tax compromise set for Senate vote (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Racing for the exits after a year of bitter battling, senators are voting on compromise legislation to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for just two months, setting the table for more fighting in February.

Top Democratic and GOP leaders opted for just a short extension after failing to agree on spending reductions large enough to cover a full year renewal of the 2 percentage point tax cut for 160,000 workers and weekly jobless payments averaging about $300 for millions of people who have been out of work for six months or more.

The legislation is a partial victory at best for President Barack Obama, who's being forced to accept Republican demands for a swift decision on the fate of a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline that promises thousands of jobs.

Votes were slated for Saturday morning on the measure, along with a final tally to send a $1 trillion-plus catchall spending measure setting the day-to-day budgets of 10 Cabinet agencies. The House cleared the spending bill Friday and will return early next week to vote on the payroll tax measure.

In a statement, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer indicated Obama would sign the measure, saying it had met his test of "preventing a tax increase on 160 million hardworking Americans" and avoiding damage to the economy recovery.

The statement made no mention of the pipeline. One senior administration official said the president would almost certainly refuse to grant a permit. The official was not authorized to speak publicly.

The developments came a few hours after the White House publicly backed away from Obama's threat to veto any bill that linked the payroll tax cut extension with a Republican demand for a speedy decision on the 1,700-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline proposed from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries.

Obama said on Dec. 7 that "any effort to try to tie Keystone to the payroll tax cut I will reject. So everybody should be on notice."

Obama recently announced he was postponing a decision until after the 2012 elections on the much-studied proposal. Environmentalists oppose the project, but several unions support it, and the legislation puts the president in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between customary political allies.

Republican senators leaving a closed-door meeting put the price tag of the two-month package at between $30 billion and $40 billion said the cost would be covered by raising fees on new mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The fees, drawn from a Treasury Department housing finance market reform plan, could add several thousand dollars to the 30-year cost of Fannie- and Freddie-backed mortgages. A worker making a $100,000 salary would reap a tax cut of about $330 through the short-term payroll tax extension.

Just hours before the vote, the legislation had not been made public.

The measure would also provide a 60-day reprieve from a scheduled 27 percent cut in the fees paid to doctors who treat Medicare patients.

Several officials said it would require a decision within 60 days on the pipeline, with the president required to authorize construction unless he determined that would not be in the national interest.

Officials said that in private talks, the two sides had hoped to reach agreement on the full one-year extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that Obama had made the centerpiece of the jobs program he submitted to Congress last fall.

Those efforts failed when the two sides could not agree on enough offsetting cuts to blunt the measure's impact on the debt.

The failure tees up the issue again for early next year, but it won't get any easier to agree on spending cuts.

"We'll be back discussing the same issues in a couple of months, but from our point of view, we think the keystone pipeline is a very important job-creating measure in the private sector that doesn't cost the government a penny," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.

There was no immediate reaction from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Neither he nor his aides participated in the negotiations, although McConnell said he was optimistic about the measure's chances for final approval. The payroll tax cut is unpopular in GOP ranks and another vote in two month could present a headache for GOP leaders.

The State Department, in an analysis released this summer, said the project would create up to 6,000 jobs during construction, while developer TransCanada put the total at 20,000 in direct employment.

The 1,700-mile pipeline would carry oil from western Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.

The spending bill would lock in cuts that conservative Republicans won from the White House and Democrats earlier in the year.

Republicans also won their fight to block new federal regulations for light bulb energy efficiency, coal dust in mines and clean water permits for construction of timber roads.

The White House turned back GOP attempts to block limits on greenhouse gases, mountaintop removal mining and hazardous emissions from utility plants, industrial boilers and cement kilns.

Echo Nest is the man behind the Spotify Radio curtain

Spotify Radio
The Music Genome Project is in some serious trouble. The fancy algorithm behind Pandora is facing an increasingly popular competitor in the form of Echo Nest. The company's "music intelligence platform" and its accompanying API are already powering iHeartRadio and Nokia Music's Mix Radio. Now it's getting baked into the streaming media service du jour -- Spotify. Echo Nest's capable automated mix-making was already available to Spotify users via Echofi, but now the Swedish media company is using the tech as the basis for its updated radio service. Check out the PR after the break for a few not-so-subtle jabs at Pandora and its restrictions on free users.

Eagles quarterback Vince Young inspired Texas cancer survivor

--?

A Houston-area youth who survived cancer and has led his football team into the state finals credits the NFL's Vince Young for giving him hope.

Hempstead running back Archie Taylor Jr. in 2006 was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Taylor on Monday told KRIV-TV how the former Texas standout visited him.

Young, who's now with the Philadelphia Eagles, is from Houston. Five years ago he made the trip to Hempstead and gave the then-12-year-old boy the jersey presented to him by the Titans on draft day.

Taylor says Young told him to stay strong and work hard.

The unbeaten Bobcats on Thursday face Melissa, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, for the Class 2A Division I state title. Taylor this season rushed for 1,316 yards and scored 19 touchdowns.

NH gay bishop responds to Perry ad (AP)

CONCORD, N.H. ? The Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop, Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, says GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry has hit a new low with a campaign ad attacking President Barack Obama on gay rights and religion.

The ad, intended to appeal to Christian conservatives who typically dominate the Iowa caucuses, features Perry saying there's something wrong in America when gays can serve openly in the military but kids can't pray in schools.

Robinson responded Tuesday with an op-ed in The Washington Post in which he says Perry would be pathetic if he weren't so infuriating. Robinson says someone who aspires to be commander in chief shouldn't denigrate the gay and lesbian soldiers he would lead.

Robinson is the Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire, which holds the first primary Jan. 10.
