TheStar.com | GTA | Toronto tourism takes $50M hit with loss of race
One of the most important things we can do is to have a diverse calendar with events that appeal to all markets. It's one of the major events we have, along with things like the film festival, Caribana and Pride Day." Asked if the race would be hard to replace from a tourism standpoint, Ross replied, "Definitely. In a short period of time it would be a challenge. But I think the community would come together to do whatever's possible to be sure something replaces it." Ross said there could be layoffs, possibly among workers who install seats alongside the race course and such.

Conan Misses McDreamy Just As Much As We Do
Patrick Dempsey looked perfectly put together yesterday after a trip to the gym in LA but it's not as much fun as seeing him in his scrubs. Turns out that we're not the only ones missing our weekly doses of Dempsey. Conan O'Brien wrote in his strike journal that, with all of his free time these days he tried to read a book but got sidetracked because he was, "wondering if Meredith and McDreamy will ever work things out. They're so right for each other and yet so wrong." We couldn't agree more with Conan on that one and considering he's been chugging along without writers on his own show for weeks, at least he's there to help us fill the gap before Grey's returns. .
the undercover economist
Gordon, a little more scientifically, used detailed listings from catalogs to measure both price and quality of clothes. Many economists still think that inflation is overestimated and we have therefore been getting richer faster than the official statistics show. But Gordon must have a point: If we have been getting rich that quickly, then our ancestors were impossibly poor. Gordon calculated that if the recent estimates of price bias are projected backward, Bruegel's peasant household would have had an income of less than $6 a year and been able to afford less than an ounce of potatoes a day back in 1569. That would have made for a different picture. The Undercover Economist appears on Saturdays in the Financial Times Magazine. Correction, June 6, 2006: The piece originally stated that Montgomery Ward's mail-order catalog was first published in 1893.
