NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2007) - Sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) tied the ETSU single game record for 3-point goals, hitting on 8-of-12 from beyond the arc to score a career high 34 points and lift the ETSU men's basketball team past Atlantic Sun Conference rival Lipscomb 71-66 Saturday afternoon inside Allen Arena.
With the win, ETSU made it a Nashville sweep, dropping Belmont and Lipscomb over the lsat three days to improve to 16-7 overall, 10-1 in A-Sun action, and build their lead to three games over third-place Lipscomb (13-9, 7-4) in the regular season standings. While Pigram was nearly unstoppable, senior forward Brad Nuckles (Council,
"My gosh, what do you say about Courtney," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team won its eighth straight game. "The guy is a confident player and when you are a shooter like Courtney is, he can basically take over a game. We stopped running plays for him because he was just creating shots on his own. One more time our guys just found a way to get it done late in a tight game."
While Pigram stood out from start to finish, his biggest shot of the game came after a media timeout at the 3:32 mark of the second half, after Lipscomb had just tied the score at 56-56. His eighth 3-pointer of the game came just 18 seconds later, sparking a 10-0 run by the Bucs that dashed the Bisons come back hopes. Most remarkable about Pigram's shot was Lipscomb leaving him wide open in the corner.
In the first half, Pigram powered the ETSU offensive attack early, scoring 13 of the team's first 15 points and helping the Bucs build a lead of 21-12 with 9:52 to go before the break. The nine-point cushion did not last long, though, as Lipscomb rallied with eight straight unanswered points to make it 21-20 with 8:24 remaining.
ETSU responded, outscoring the Bisons 12-3 the rest of the way to take a 33-23 halftime lead thanks to a bomb 3-pointer from Pigram with 38 seconds left. Pigram finished with 16 first half points, the Bucs out-rebounded Lipscomb 28-17, and held the Bisons to just 27 percent shooting in the first 20 minutes.
In the second half, ETSU built a lead of as many as 14 points, but to Lipscomb's credit the Bisons battled back to tie the game in the final four minutes. Lipscomb led by five early in the game, but never held the lead the rest of the way.
For the game, ETSU shot a sparkling 60 percent from beyond the arc, held the Bisons to 36 percent shooting (24-of-67), and out-rebounded them 46-39. Lipscomb got a team-high 22 points from senior guard Trey Williams, while junior forward Eddie Ard posted 13 points.
Pigram's eight 3-pointers tied the program's single game record for 3-pointers in a game set by James Anthony in a Feb. 21 win over UNC Greensboro during the 2004-05 season.
The Bucs will return home for a Feb. 2 matchup with Gardner-Webb, followed by a Feb. 5 game with

The Paul Hamlyn Library
It is with great regret that the British Museum will close the Paul Hamlyn Library as part of efforts to accommodate a 15% cut to the Museum's grant-in-aid budget. The Centre for Anthropology library remains open to all visitors to the Museum.
The curatorial department libraries (Ancient Egypt and Sudan, Asia, Coins and Medals, Greece and Rome, Middle East, Britain, Europe and Prehistory, Prints and Drawings), may be accessed, by appointment, for research enquiries. The Museum is looking into how the books that were housed in the Paul Hamlyn Library can best be managed so that they continue to be used for the maximum benefit of the Museum.
Family backpacks and trails which were previously distributed through the library will be available from the Great Court.
The Paul Hamlyn Library was set up as a reference library in 2000. From 2007, the resources of another one of the Museum's ten libraries, the Central Library started to be made available through the Paul Hamlyn Library. The holdings of the Central Library include books on the history of the Museum, a small number of the Museum's rare books, and a collection of rare books from the House of Commons. In order to avoid confusion, from 2007 we began to refer to the joint collection as the Paul Hamlyn Library.
The resulting joint collection, the Paul Hamlyn Library, Central Library, and House of Commons collection, contains 50,000 books and journals. The subject matter is very wide-ranging, including archaeology, history, art, numismatics, Egyptology, Classical antiquities, oriental art and museum studies and covers the range of cultures and types of collection covered by the British Museum. There is a collection of works relating to the history of the British Museum, including guidebooks dating back to 1762. The library also holds a copy of every British Museum publication and there is a collection of ephemera relating to past exhibitions, including a poster archive.
The Museum has undertaken a 90-day consultation with the eleven affected staff. This is the standard legal consultation on the impact of the proposed closure on their personal circumstances. All redundancies were agreed on voluntary terms and a number of staff have been redeployed to other roles in the Museum.
When it was set up in 2000, the Paul Hamlyn Library collection was accessed by the public from the Reading Room. This changed in 2007, when the Reading Room was used for special exhibitions. The Reading Room will continue to be used for special exhibitions until the new World Conservation and Exhibitions Centre opens in 2014. In the lead-up to the opening, we will be consulting widely about the future use of the Reading Room.

Name: Green Guy
Gender: Male
Age: 44
Location: Lowell, MA
Dr. Dick I am an African American gay man who was reared in a very psychologically abusive and conservative southern environment. I am very inexperienced with relationships, dating and sex. In fact, I have been celibate for the last five years, trying to figure out how I got so psychologically fucked up and what to do about it. I was in therapy for quite a while, but I still have many issues to deal with, including trusting men. I would like to be in a healthy relationship, but I don't even know where to start. I feel that my personal life has been a total disaster. I want to change things around, but I feel utterly lost. Although I am professionally successful, I have serious issues with my body. I am somewhat overweight, but have recently joined a gym to get in shape. I just feel totally hideous, and depressed (I am on medication), and don't believe any guy would ever be interested in me. Please help!!
Holy Cow, darlin', you sure do know how to let it all hang out, huh? Did you notice how may superlatives you used: "very abusive, many issues, total disaster, serious issues, totally hideous" to mention a few. It's clear to me, and probably any other human that comes near you, that you are soooo not ready for a relationship. In fact, if you are as icky and psychologically fucked up as you say, if you can't trust anyone, if you're a dating klutz, if you are totally hideous and misshapen, then why not just let it go and spare any other person the torture of being involved with you? You're right, what guy in his right mind would be interested in the likes of you?
Ok, you see what I'm doing here? I'm joining the resistance. You want to pile it on yourself, swell. I'll join you. I'll pile on too and together we'll heap on the insults and contempt until you can't stand it any more, until you reach your tolerance for self abuse (and not the good kind). And from what I can gather, that's gonna take some piling on. Of course, you could quit this self-abuse at any time. Seems to me 44 years of negative and undercutting behavior is plenty…even for you.
None of us is without our issues, my friend, least of all me. But to navigate social situations, even casual ones, one needs to be able to judge what the traffic can bear. If you come on like gangbusters, like you did in your message to me, you're finished even before you begin.
Whatever therapy you did in the past, it either didn't work or it didn't have any lasting effects. Find a therapist that will challenge you not stroke you. Find someone that will jump on your shit, someone who will care enough about you to disallow you from hurting yourself with such cruel remarks about yourself.
When I have a client like you in my private practice I always lay down the law. For every self-critical thing you say about yourself, you must say something nice about yourself. That shuts the client up in a hurry. Once he or she is quiet enough to listen we start pulling apart the tangle of their self-hatred.
You were abused as a kid. Sadly, so are lots of kids. But that's in the past. I'm sure you have scars, but who doesn't have scar tissue. You don't know how to interact with others socially, that a skill that can be learned. You're fat and out of shape? You're going to the gym to address that. You're depressed even on antidepressants? Well, no wonder you're sick of yourself. And that has got to stop, NOW.
Before you consider asking anyone else to love you — with all your flaws — you're gonna have to learn to love yourself — with all your flaws. If you can't do that, then don't expect anyone else to do it before you do. Get off your pity pot and get to work. You say you are successful in your professional life. (Frankly I don't see how that's possible given the litany of your liabilities.) But for the sake of argument, let's say you are telling the truth. How did you come to be a successful professional without at least some redeeming qualities? That is unless you are a professional executioner, or a professional hit man, or a politician.
You see you can't have it both ways. If you have skill enough to make yourself a success in your professional life, then you have skill enough to make yourself a success in your private life. With the help of this new therapist you're gonna get — the one who is not going to let you get away with your shit — you're gonna learn how to marshal and channel the aptitudes you have that make you successful in one area of your life, to make you a success the other areas of your life.
Good luck

how can i approuch a good stripper to get into sex? even tho they just strip some do more off work. How do I know they are willing to do it?
I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that English is not your first language, right Jose? I think I understand what you are asking. Let's just hope the women you approach will also understand you're meaning.
So OK, you know this fine stripper and you want to have sex with her, right? Swell! First thing you oughta know is that not all strippers are hookers. Some simply strip because they make really good money. They don't sell sex, mostly because they don't have to. The strippers that do offer sexual favors for a fee, don't do so where they strip. It's bad for business and, I hasten to point out, it's against the law— except if you're in Nevada — and you're not.
There are two real good ways to go about this hunt for stripper sex. First, you could ask the vixen out on a real date. Personally I think this is the best way of going about gettin laid by any woman. If the woman, stripper or whatever, is available for a date, and you're not a totally creepy putz, she might take you up on the offer. Just remember, many strippers already have a boyfriend, and he wouldn't look kindly on you trying to hustle his filly, if you catch my drift.
Also, some stripping establishments prohibit their employees from fucking with the customers. If that's the policy at the joint you frequent, let it go. Don't pester the woman for something that will jeopardize her job. However, if she does accept the date, and all goes well, and you charm the pants off her, literally, you just might get a little slap and tickle. I just hope we're clear on the concept that if any woman, especially a sex worker, accepts a dinner invitation it is not the same thing as saying she'll fuck you, right? GOOD!
The second option is to ask the stripper if she does escort work on the side. Again, some stripping establishments prohibit their strippers from fraternizing with customers in any way, shape or form, especially fucking them. You ought also know that if the woman in question is indeed an escort as well as a stripper, your "date" with her is gonna cost ya. These women are professionals; so you'd do well to treat them with the respect you'd offer any other professional woman.
Never, under any circumstance, offer to pay a stripper…or any woman for that matter…for sex. That would be pandering prostitution, and that's against the law. If the woman in question is an escort, she will be exchanging her time, the pleasure of her company and her expertise for money; not sex for money. Get it? If she's smart she won't give you a second chance to get this right. So if you fuck up asking her the first time you may be out of luck forever.
My advice to you is, figure out ahead of time which way you want to go on this — a real date or escort hook up. Then approach her like a gentleman. If she's not interested, respect her decision to decline your offer with grace and dignity.
Good luck

Fantasy Football Prep
*Late Round Gems*
Kyle Stafford – @Kstafford32
Do the last 5 Rounds have any value?
The final rounds of a draft can make or break a team. Many owners get in a rush and pick the first name at the top of their lists. Then after the draft you see these same owners scouring through the Free Agent pool trying to fill holes they didn't address in the draft when they had an opportunity. I am a strong believer in building a well rounded team from my starters to my bench. Therefore, if my starters ever fail me, I have a chance to pull someone off my bench to produce.
Here is a list of players to keep in mind during the finals rounds:
RB Kendall Hunter, SF: An explosive back that can catch the ball out of the backfield. He is one Frank Gore injury away from being a top 10 back.
WR Greg Little, CLE: He is the #1 reciever for the Browns, and is not even getting drafted in a lot of leagues. Played all 16 games last year and had over 120 targets. If the Browns can get a decent QB to throw to him I could see 70+ catches and 900+ yards which is a steal in the late rounds.
WR Kevin Ogletree, DAL: With all of the injuries and problems that surround the top 2 Wideouts in Dallas, Ogletree has a chance to shine. Even if Bryant and Austin are healthy, I could see Ogletree grabbing 60-70 balls.
WR Nate Burleson, DET: Played all 16 games. He was targeted 110 times. He caught 73 balls. He is also goes undraft in over 50% of fantasy leagues. Go figure…
RB Felix Jones, DAL: Had a 5.0 YPC in the 2nd half last year. A nice change of pace back and backup if he can stay healthy
TE: Dallas Clark, TB- Yes he has a lot of injury issues. Before he was hurt, he was on pace for 60+ receptions, 5 TDs in 2011. That was with Curtis Painter and Kerry Collins throwing to him.
QB Carson Palmer, OAK- He showed lots of improvement as the season progressed last year. In the 2nd half- completion rate of 63.2, 17 TDs, and 5 of 8 quality starts. Also had three of his four 300 yard passing games in the 2nd half.

Before we break down this weekend's game, I'd like to take a moment to pay my respect to a football legend. Art Modell, the former owner of the original Cleveland Browns, now the Baltimore Ravens, passed away this morning of natural causes at the age of 87. Modell, a team owner for more than 4 decades, was instrumental in the development of the league as one of the most popular and widely viewed professional sports in the world. He helped spearhead the ABC contract that that brought football to Monday nights back in 1970. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the Modell family, the team and the fans.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program…
The 2012 season opener is upon us, finally, and the Texans open the season this Sunday at Reliant stadium against the Miami Dolphins. Now, I don't want to give the fish anything to hang in their locker room, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that the Texans are 12.5 point favorites. The Texans are 6-0 all time against the Dolphins, with their most recent victory a 23-13 win in week 2 last season.
I can't help but relish in the fact that almost every article I read, every sports station I turn to, manages to bring up the fact that the Texans are considered one of the best teams in the NFL going into 2012. Some even go as far as to say what we all around these parts already know…the Texans are the best team in the NFL. The Texans starting line-up, from special teams on, is solidly built from top to bottom, with quality depth at almost every position. On paper, the only thing that can conceivably stop the Texans path to New Orleans this season is, well, the Texans. That and injuries, of course, but every team has to contend with that nemesis.
Both teams are relatively healthy starting out without any glaring injuries to key personnel. Every Texans starter practiced Wednesday and all the starters for both teams are expected to play Sunday. That might be a first for the Texans, and what a way to start off what promises to be the most exciting Texans season to date.
Texans Offense vs Dolphins Defense:
The Texans start off the season in full force with a plethora of weapons for a healthy Matt Schaub. Despite the concerns on the right side of the offensive line, where new starters Derek Newton and Antione Caldwell will assume the spots vacated by Mike Brisiel and Eric Winston, I fully expect Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison to make every needed adjustment to overcome any weaknesses on that side. With a healthy Andre Johnson and exciting youngsters in Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean, the Texans might just be able to stretch the field in ways we haven't seen in awhile. This in turn opens up the running game for Arian Foster and Ben Tate and the short game where Foster, TE Owen Daniels, FB/TE James Casey and Kevin Walter operate best. Gone is Joel Dreessen, but Garrett Graham has played outstanding this preseason.
The Dolphins defense isn't to be taken lightly. Defensive ends Jared Odrick and Cameron Wake combined for 14.5 sacks last season. The Dolphins run defense ranked 3rd in the NFL last season, allowing just under 100 yards per game.
I would surmise the Texans will attack the fish early and often through the air to keep their LB's off point. With the roll-outs and screen passes, coupled with the constant threat of Johnson going deep, the Phins' secondary will have to be on constant guard to prevent any number of Texans standouts from having a career day. The problem facing the Dolphins is they just don't have enough personnel on the field to cover all those weapons. Somebody is going to get forgotten and get open, and this will keep the Dolphins in a constant state of adjustment throughout the day.
Again, this aerial attack will keep the fish on their heels, which in turn opens up the ground game. I could easily see Foster having a 100+ yard day once the ground game gets established.
Texans Defense vs Dolphins Offense:
The Texans defense will see starters Brian Cushing, JJ Watt and Shuan Cody all on the field Sunday for the first time since January. While the defense seemingly struggled a bit in stopping the run in the preseason, I expect having all the cogs back in place will help to that end.
The Dolphins will start Reggie Bush, who is a weapon rushing and receiving. But the Texans would be wise not to forget RB Daniel Thomas, who last season racked up 107 total yards and netted a lofty 5.9 yards per carry. This was also when the Texans defense was still in it's infancy last season, so let's hope he doesn't have another career day Sunday.
Like the Texans, the Dolphins offensive line on the right side is their weakest link entering the season, and trotting out rookie QB Ryan Tannehill should have the Texans pass rushers frothing at the mouth. Now, I know in seasons past the Texans have not had the best track record against rookie QB's, but this Texans defense isn't the defense of old.
The Dolphins have weapons at the WR position in Devone Bess and Rishard Matthews, but with Tannehill's 66.9 preseason passer rating and only one TD out of 41 completions, the fish will have their work cut out for them establishing their passing game.
Tannehill should expect to spend a fair amount of time on the run, and on his back, and the constant pressure could send him into fits. I wouldn't be surprised to see alot of footballs tossed into the stands and hopefully more than a couple into the hands of the Texans secondary.
Texans special teams vs Dolphins special teams:
There were a total of 6 touchdowns scored on returns in the NFL during the preseason. Texans returner Trindon Holliday accounted for half of those. The Texans excel on special teams, both on returns and coverage, so this will play a key role all season in terms of where each team begins their offensive attacks.
The Dolphins would be wise to kick far and away from Holliday every chance they get. And I expect they'll be punting their fair share come Sunday. Every punt is a touchdown waiting to happen if Holliday can continue his preseason success and hang onto the ball.
Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter went 5 for 7 in the preseason, with both misses coming from beyond 50 yards. If the Texans can keep the Dolphins well out of the red zone and limit their short yardage kicks, they just might be able to force a miss. On the flip side, the Texans will field a new kicker in Shayne Graham, who is the 4th most accurate kicker in NFL history (214 of 249 for 85.9%). Graham connected on all 5 field goal attempts during the preseason.
The Texans should prevail at home hands down. The line is stacked against the Dolphins, but anything can happen. The biggest thing the Texans can do to help the Dolphins is turn the ball over. If the Texans can continue their trend of taking the ball away more than they give it away, they have a chance to start the season off with a strong win. They need to win the games they're supposed to, because the schedule doesn't get any easier as the season progresses. If they come out strong and play like we know they can, the only thing we have to fear Sunday is injuries.

Best Ski Resorts for Families
Aug 8, 2018
Even thinking about a ski vacation with kids is daunting. Just getting them ready each day can be every parent's worst nightmare. You have to be practically a circus act to juggle skis, boots, poles, helmets, goggles and gloves – all before you've even hit the slopes. While most resorts have great facilities and ski schools for kids, here are Scout's tips for destinations that will create a memorable and relatively pain-free ski vacation.
Keystone would have to be one of the best ski resorts for families, anywhere in the world. The Vail Resorts owned resort has packed a ton of kid oriented activities into the village and on the slopes. From ice castles to organised snowball fights to a parade, one would be forgiven for thinking you're at Disneyland. Fortunately there's also plenty of family friendly condos, it's gentle on the wallet and it's easy to get to - just a two hour drive from Denver Airport.
Big Sky sure knows how to please families. When staying in resort lodging (including all those booked via Scout) this awesome Montana resort lets kids under 10 ski free and all kids 4 and up have free access to the afternoon kids club (more time for the parents to enjoy Apres - or the hot tub). Plus the varied terrain will please all members of the family no matter what their level.
Snowmass is one of the best mountains for families who love to ski. Its slopes are perfect for the beginner and intermediate and it has some decent advanced terrain for skiers looking for more of a challenge. But the extreme skiers tend to stay away, so you'll never feel intimidated or worried about the kids. It almost feels like it's been reserved as a family-friendly mountain.
Whistler Blackcomb is the kind of place your kids will have so much fun they won't want to leave and may even forget you exist. Its ski school is one of the biggest in the world, boasting more than 1000 instructors who will not only teach your kids to go from "pizza" to "spaghetti" in no time but they'll have a blast doing it. There's some child-specific areas, including a special terrain park with kid-sized features and adventure playgrounds on both mountains.
Zip-lining, alpine coasters (4000ft of curves, bends and loops), Viking yurts, sleigh rides, tubing, snowmobiling … the list goes on and on. Park City Mountain Resort has endless opportunities to keep the kids entertained plus some good value options for mountainside accommodation. There also happens to be some great skiing too.
One of the lesser known destinations for families is Northstar in Lake Tahoe. The resort has a compact European style village that is perfect for families. It has a huge ice-skating rink, movie theatre, bowling alley, plenty of shops, bars and restaurants and free S'mores at the fire pits in the afternoon. The mountain has gentle slopes and fantastic park and pipe facilities. And with plenty of condo accommodation in and around the village and close proximity to Reno International Airport it all makes for a very easy ski vacation.
One of America's favorite resorts for families, Steamboat has everything to keep you and the little ones happy; a plethora of good value condos (many of which are ski-in ski-out), an easy-to-navigate base area, a centrally located ski school and an abundance of activities for when they're tired of skiing. Where else can your child learn to fly off a real ski jump?
Tomamu is a lesser known choice for skiers heading to Japan, yet it has so much to offer families. With endless facilities for kids, including an ice village and Japan's largest indoor wave pool they'll never be bored as well there are penty of on-snow activities to make learning to ski fun. Everything is super convenient - there's a great ski-in ski-out hotel with family rooms and heaps of facilities for families as well as Club Med Tomamu.
Not only is Myoko Kogen a great place to experience a more authentic side of Japan (than some of the resorts more popular with westerners) and awesome powder, but it's also a fantastic resort for families thanks to Myoko Snowsports which is (in our opinion) Japan's best ski school and some great value hotels.
Nestled deep in the French Alps lies Val d'Isere - one of Scout's favorite ski resorts in the world. We've also picked it as one of the best family resorts in the world because of the excellent services it offers for families, combined with a good variety of accommodation options, a charming yet functional European village (including a working dairy where you can see the animals), easy transport and world-class skiing. A family vacation in Val d'Isere will be memorable and fun.
Val Thorens is Europe's highest ski resort with extensive terrain suited to all abilities. It's a Familie Plus resort which means it fulfils particular critieria that makes it famiy friendly. There's heaps of ski-in ski-out accommodation, parts of the mountain dedicated to kids an fun extra activities and a sports center.
Megeve is a truly magical place for families. Oozing European charm, the historic village is full of beautiful shops and restaurants and seeing it by horse drawn cart is a must. There's tons of variety on the slopes and several great ski schools to choose from.
Out of all the Italian resorts, Cervinia is our pick for families due to the easy beginner area (which parents can view from restaurants while sipping wine and eating pizza), wide range of intermediate slopes and quaint main street with plenty of great restaurants. The only drawback is a lack of ski-in ski-out hotels.
All of the resorts in New Zealand's Southern Lakes area offer some great facilities for kids, but Cardrona is Scout's pick for its charm, relaxed atmosphere and excellent facilities. Even their website has a fun and playful children's section. Kids aged from three months to four years can be placed in daycare, while three and four year-olds wanting to hit the slopes can do so with Ski Kindy. If you're there for a week there are programs called Skiwees and Lowriders to help them progress. And the best part – kids aged under six ski for free.

President Barack Obama should reject the permit application for the Keystone XL pipeline because of its significant contribution to increased carbon emissions and the serious threat it poses to land and water across its path.
The State Department has the ability to determine whether the pipeline is in the �national interest.� Evidence is clear that Keystone XL is against our national interest.
The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that Keystone XL would result in an increase of 1.2 billion metric tons of carbon emissions over its lifetime. Producing tar sands oil has three times the carbon emissions of conventional crude production. Without Keystone XL, the oil industry�s aggressive goal of tripling tar sands oil production by 2030 is unlikely to be met.
Existing tar sands pipelines are expected to reach capacity by 2015. Rail shipment is costly, and the rail operator Canexus recently said that with or without the pipeline, rail would remain a �niche service� for transporting tar sands oil. Keystone XL would significantly contribute to increased carbon emissions.
Spills from tar sands pipelines can be disastrous. For example, the 2010 tar sands oil spill from an Enbridge pipeline in Michigan of contaminated 30 miles of the Kalamazoo River. The cleanup will not be finished until later this year.
Obama should reject the pipeline to ensure that his legacy is not one of contributing to further climate disruption.

Why do Central Banks continue buying gold?
According to the data published by the World Gold Council, the major gold buyers in the global gold market were Central Banks. Hence, it has been the 4th year when the Central Banks have been buying yellow metal for their reserves.
The total amount of gold bought by Central Banks is 119.4 metric tons of gold. In comparison, in the first quarter of 2014 were bought 119.8 metric tons of gold, which shows that the dynamics remain stable.
In the latest years, the main buyers of gold have been Russia with 30 tons in the 1st quarter of 2015, Belarus, Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Mauritius. Usually, Central Banks buy gold to diversify their external reserves. Most frequently, a great deal of these foreign reserves are kept in the country's currency, as it is the closest trading partner.
Also, Central Banks buy gold for hedging risks from unexpected interest rate fluctuations. It must be said that the level of volatility risk of currencies has grown lately.
What can be said about the situation in the world? The US employment data lately published has turned out negative, while Greece's situation continues in a tight spot. The curious fact is that the demand for gold from the Central Banks grows in inverse proportion to the demand from institutional and individual investors.
The reason for that could be that some investors mistakenly build short-term strategies, while gold is an asset profitable in the mid and long-term. The experts in Central Banks take into account years ahead, which is a good piece of advice for investors.

I'm a relative newcomer to the wonderful world of nnCron Well, actually I've been using nnCron LITE for a while but wanted the power of nnCron!
Ok, back to the topic: I wanted to know if there are any future plans for nnCron? I'm not saying there's anything I'm actually missing in the program, but would be interested in knowing if you've got any ideas, to-dos or plans for future nnCron. For instance, AFAIK it's not compatible with Vista... is it? Is this something you want to address? I'm using XP and have no immediate plans to switch, but if I ever do, I'd sure miss nnCron.
Anyway, thanks for having created such an amazing little tool!!

This is a draft version of my contribution to "A Computable Universe: Understanding and Exploring Nature as Computation", edited by Hector Zenil. Consider it a teaser for the rest of the book, which contains papers by an impressive list of authors.
Abstract: Intuitionistic mathematics perceives subtle variations in meaning where classical mathematics asserts equivalence, and permits geometrically and computationally motivated axioms that classical mathematics prohibits. It is therefore well-suited as a logical foundation on which questions about computability in the real world are studied. The realizability interpretation explains the computational content of intuitionistic mathematics, and relates it to classical models of computation, as well as to more speculative ones that push the laws of physics to their limits. Through the realizability interpretation Brouwerian continuity principles and Markovian computability axioms become statements about the computational nature of the physical world.

I was disappointed to read the negative way he phrased this: "... which I believe will ultimately allow us to challenge for honours. So, no expectation of anything this season and next then ...? "Ultimately" sounds like a long way away.
It seems to me that he's stacking up excuses (injuries, only just started in the role, not 'my squad' really? still? needed to change the culture, etc. ...).
He's been in charge 18 months how long does it take to build a positive environment and culture?
Quote:Perhaps I am reading too much into this?
Quote:Quinten PoulsenQuote:Perhaps I am reading too much into this?
Yes, I reckon so.
In todays statement JK said:
"Im building a positive environment and culture at Harlequins, on and off the field, which I believe will ultimately allow us to challenge for honours.
When I read this my immediate thought was Why? Why does he need to build anything? I would have thought that a club with such a long history would have a well established culture with all the requisite policies, practices and procedures needed to provide the framework for players to perform. Furthermore with so many of the senior players having come through the Quins Academy the culture would already be established.
If he perceives the need to 'build a positive environment' (whatever that actually means) the obvious deduction is that the team suffers from a negative environment. That's a pretty damning admission from someone who has been a senior coach at the club for so long. Clearly it has happened/been happening on his watch.
JK is not the most erudite of DoRs but in the context of the situation I would have thought he would have chosen his words with a little more care. I could understand "improving the environment, building morale or changing the culture" all of which are perfectly valid.
Perhaps I am reading too much into this?
I blame JK for the decision to abandon the Gold Standard, The Great Depression and my failure to win more than £2.70 on the Euro Lottery.
I blame JK for the decision to abandon the Gold Standard, The Great Depression and my failure to win more than £2.70 on the Euro Lottery.
But not the decision to hold a referendum on Brexit?
Quote:Jammy Git
Can't be long before we're finding ways to blame JK for it being cold in winter and the Brexit vote
Eddie Jones took over a team far more damaged than the one JK inherited and created a positive environment in less than a month.
Quote:Jones' job is nothing like JK's job
Quote:Quinky Kin

Grappling To Be On Top - A new exhibit for Omaka
One of the most outrageous aerials combat experiments undertaken in the Great War is now on display at Omaka - Kozakov and his grappling hook.
It's 1914 and you're high above the Russian Front, wrapped up in your flying gear, scarf, helmet and goggles. You're flying a tiny monoplane constructed of wood and wire bracing, covered in fabric. As you search below, you spot an enemy aircraft climbing menacingly up towards you. Your aircraft is not equipped to carry guns but you do have one weapon, a grappling hook!
Such is the scenario that greets visitors to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, and its display of aviation from the Great War, known as the Knights of the Sky exhibition. The new exhibit was installed just last week (July 4th) in the reception foyer and is a full-scale replica Morane Saulnier G, as used by the Russian Ace, Aleksandr Kozakov.
In the early stages of the Great War, few aircraft were armed, but pilots soon began experimenting with ways to bring down the enemy and stop them spying on troop movements behind the lines. Some tried hurling bricks, others took pot shots with pistols or hunting rifles.
On the occasion depicted Kozakov flung a grappling hook on a long length of wire, with the intention of ripping apart the lightweight structure of his opponent's machine. Unfortunately the two aircraft became entwined and Kozakov then attempted ramming his enemy in order to pull free. They both plummeted, until barely 200 feet from the ground, they disentangled and neither was killed. The German was taken prisoner and Kozakov went on to become Imperial Russia's highest scoring Ace, using rather more conventional methods.
The idea of a Kozakov display had been in the back of my mind ever since I read about this bizarre episode. When Marlborough hosted the Russian rugby team during the Rugby World Cup, the idea gained traction and the Omaka AHC Board agreed to commission the build. Local enthusiast Dave Lochead was contracted to carry out the work, with the understanding that the wider aviation community would be on hand to volunteer expertise and facilities. In fact it turned into quite a community project and took two years to complete.
The aircraft was built to airworthy standard, so one day the decision might even be made to remove it from static display and see if it will fly. Perhaps without the grappling hook!
In the meantime this new display is a dramatic welcome to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre and sets the scene for the spectacular Knights of the Sky exhibition inside.

Word that Tina Fey is likely to reprise her Sarah Palin imitation on "Saturday Night Live" while hosting the show in April is good news for "SNL" fans – and probably even better news for Palin.
It's the latest sign that the polarizing politician remains firmly in the public eye – even if she's the apple of some eyes, and in the political crosshairs of others. It's also another indication that Palin is seen as a serious presidential contender, just a year and change into President Obama's first term.
Being lampooned by Fey is a privilege of sorts Palin enjoys without holding office or officially running for one – she's very craftily carved out a niche as a political celebrity, thanks to her perch on Fox News and her smart use of Facebook as a platform. Unlike last year's presidential campaign, she's put herself in a position where she doesn't regularly face direct questions from the press.
But Palin can't escape the comedians – which may not be such a bad thing for her. A gratuitous crack on Sunday's episode of "Family Guy" that was seen by some as mocking Palin's 22-month-old son Trig, who has Down syndrome, seems to have generated an outpouring of support for her, judging from the 25,000 comments on her Facebook page. David Letterman's tasteless quip about one of Palin's daughters last year spurred a movement to fire him, and he ultimately apologized.
Palin showed she was a good sport last year by making a cameo with Fey on "SNL"– it's a good bet she'd jump at another chance to appear on the show. She knows the power of that stage.
"SNL" won a prestigious Peabody Award last year, with the Peabody folks opining that Fey's Palin sketches "may have swayed the [presidential] race itself." There's no way, of course, to measure whether that's true.
But it is clear a lot has changed since last year. Palin is a far better known quantity now. More people love her or hate her – humor at her expense could reinforce those strong feelings on both sides.
By limiting her exposure to the press and being more careful in her public utterances, Palin has proven less gaffe-prone in recent months – though her literally handwritten notes during her recent Tea Party speech prompted ridicule.
Just imagine how Fey would have clubbed that softball. Too bad her "SNL" hosting gig isn't until April.
For "SNL" fans, Fey's expected return as Palin, no doubt, will bring laughs – "I can see Russia from my house" is still a great line, all these months later. That the two women look somewhat alike is a small part of the potency of Fey's imitation: She's got Palin's mannerisms and homey Alaska-by-way-of-"Fargo" speech patterns down pat.
With Palin running a not-so-stealth 2012 campaign, she and Fey could be stuck with one another for a long time to come. Is there a chance that years from now Fey will be remembered more for her Palin imitation than for "30 Rock?" You betcha!

|This section needs improvements: Please help us to
cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo
KDE makes it easy for application developers to add support for Java applets to their applications. The kdejava library provides a high level API that allows Java applets to be manipulated as if they were a normal QWidget. Lars and I added support for applets to khtml in a matter of hours at the KDE II conference - it really is that easy. KDE's Java support is in two parts, there is a pure Java server which provides the environment in which applets run etc. and a KDE library which handles the embedding of the applet window into the application. The Java and C++ code communicates via standard UNIX pipes using a simple binary protocol (KJAS protocol grammar). It should be possible to use any Java VM with KJAS, including Java 2.
#include <kapp.h>
#include <kjavaappletwidget.h>
#include <qstring.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
KApplication app( argc, argv );
QString a,b,c,d,e,f;
// The name of the applet
a = "fred";
// The name of the class to be run
b = "Lake.class";
// The base url it can be found at. Note the trailing '/', we could
// also have written it as "file:/dos/pcplus/java/lake/Lake.html"
c = "file:/dos/pcplus/java/lake/";
// Create the applet widget. We are using the default context and
// server implicitly. We could have specified different ones. We
// could also specify a parent QWidget, but we might as well make
// the applet widget top level for this example.
KJavaAppletWidget *applet = new KJavaAppletWidget();
CHECK_PTR( applet );
// You must set these BEFORE calling show()
applet->setAppletName( a );
applet->setAppletClass( b );
applet->setBaseURL( c );
// My test applet needs an image to be specified as a parameter.
d = "image";
e = "arch.jpg";
applet->setParameter( d, e );
// We show the widget as normal
// Then start the event loop
The diagram below shows the relationships between some of the more important classes involved in the KDE Java support. Those classes in libkdejava are C++ classes, all of the rest of the system is written in Java. There is no dependency other than the JVM for the KJAS server, this is the core of the KDE Java environment and could also be used to add Java support to other systems - you can control applets from a shell script using a KJAS server for example.
Unlike the Java support in Netscape or MS IE, KDE's support uses an out of process JVM - i.e. the JVM itself is not linked to the application that embeds the applet. The table below should explain some of the reasons behind this decision:
|In process
|Out of process
|Have to contend with threading issues
|No threading problems
|JVM crash will kill Konqueror
|JVM crash easy to handle
|JVM load may block the application UI
|No problem
|JVM cannot be unloaded
|JVM unload by killing child process
|Fairly easy to communicate with the JVM (JNI)
|Need custom communication mechanism
|Multiple VMs impossible
|Multiple VMs possible
|Depends on a working Qt AWT port
|Can use the standard AWT
An important advantage of the out of process approach is that it allows us to make use of the standard Motif implementation of the AWT, if we were using an in-process implementation this would require us to merge the Motif and Qt event loops which would be tricky to implement without the AWT peer class sources. Ultimately the plan is to remove the Motif dependency (and the associated memory hit) completely, but until a Qt port of the AWT is finished, this is impossible. The existing solution using swallowing is not perfect, but works reasonably well, when a QtAWT is written it will be possible to use the QXEmbed API to provide a more polished embedding mechanism. It will also be possible to provide the option an in process JVM which may prove useful in some situations.
This section outlines the major classes in libkdejava, more detailed information is provided by the kdoc documentation.
There are a number of other classes in the library, but at the moment they should be regarded as internal parts of the implementation.
The current implementation of KDE-Java is not the end of the story, there are a number of other developments in the works. This section is simply intended to inform you of what to expect, if you want more detailed information then check out the kdejava CVS module where the code is kept.
As I mentioned earlier I am working on QtAWT, a port of the AWT to the Qt toolkit. This is important for the future development of KDE Java, and has made significant progress. It is possible to create most of the predefined widgets, and to set properties such as the text of push buttons. There is currently no event dispatching, and no support for important classes such as the Canvas however, so the port cannot be considered even half complete. The port is now working with Qt 2.0, though the handling of Unicode strings is not optimal.
In addition to support for standard Applets as used on the web, I also plan to support some extra facilities to allow applications to provide custom applet types/plugins. This facility is not currently very high priority, so it is unlikely to be ready for KDE 2.0, perhaps you'll see it in version 2.1.
There are a number of other projects that I would love to see someone working on, but which I don't have the time to do myself. If you know Java and are looking for a project then why not give one of these a try?
In addition to the above, help with either the QtAWT , KJAS or libkdejava is always welcome.

Airfare Hikes Hit Four Key Routes
In airline mergers, monopoly markets pay the highest toll. Scott McCartney looks at which routes will face the richest price hikes with when American and US Airways are to combine, and offer tips for travelers seeking alternatives. Photo: Getty Images.

The Demography of Baltimore City: Sources
Tracking the changes over time in the distribution and character of the population of Baltimore is complicated by the ever changing and ill-defined boundaries of Federal and Police census taking, and neighborhood definitions over the City's history, but with Heritage Quest and Ancestry.com's digitization and indexing of the census records and the widespread availability of ward, block and street level mapping, it is possible to isolate place and people within the bounds of the city in studying change over time.
Once the researcher is familiar with the physical and general demographic changes that take place over time in Baltimore, then a thorough grounding in the general secondary literature on the history of the city is required.
The principal sources for an overview and the detail of the demography of Baltimore are the census records (current, recent, and historical), the city directories, land records, manumission records, and the tax rolls. There are State, City and Federal census records. Federal records are on line at Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest. Ancestry.com costs money. Heritage Quest is usually available for free through a public library account. Fortunately for Maryland and for Baltimore City, reasonably decent scans of the microfilm of census schedules are available from http://archive.org. Simply search for census Maryland. City directories have been compiled on our page, some of which are available online, and others are only available at various institutions. Tax records for the city exist on microfilm and in the original at the Maryland State Archives and the Baltimore City Archives. In 1981, Richard J. Cox published a index to the earliest extant city tax rolls to 1808, now in BRG4. See: Cox, Richard J., ed. Name Index to the Baltimore City Tax Records, 1798 – 1808, of the Baltimore City Archives, Baltimore City Archives and Records Management Office, n.pl., 1981. Scans of the tax records will be linked from BRG4 as an on-going project of the Baltimore City Archives. For Baltimore City, between 1928 and 1987, the City participated in the publication of printed volumes of Tax assessments arranged by address. They are available at the Pratt Library and at the Baltimore City Archives in BRG4 Series 6.

What should serve as a wake-up call to parents of teen drivers comes in the form of a new study that shows one in five teens (19 percent) reports driving while under the influence of marijuana.
The most recent study of teen driving behavior and attitudes is from Liberty Mutual Insurance and SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), and has been conducted regularly since 2000.

Not only is marijuana use up among teen drivers, according to the study findings, but it is significantly more prevalent than alcohol use among this driving population. The study found that 13 percent said they had driven after drinking.
But even more frightening is the dangerous misconception of many teens that marijuana use doesn't hamper their driving. More than one-third (36 percent) of surveyed teens who reported driving after using marijuana said they did not consider it a form of distracted driving. Another scary study finding is that 19 percent of teens didn't consider alcohol distractive to their driving.
One key finding, according to Glenn Greenberg, Liberty Mutual spokesperson, is that driving under the influence appears to be more prevalent with males than females. In fact, male drivers are twice as likely to say that they "often" or "very often" drive under the influence of marijuana (10 percent) compared to their female counterparts (5 percent). The current study showed a similar finding for alcohol use: male teens are significantly more likely to say that they "often" or "very often" drive under the influence of alcohol (4 percent) compared to their female counterparts (1 percent).
How does marijuana affect teen driving ability? According to Stephen Wallace, SADD senior advisor for policy, research and education, "Marijuana affects memory, judgment and perception and can lead to poor decisions when a teen under the influence of this or other drugs gets behind the wheel of a car.
"What keeps me up at night is that this data reflects a dangerous trend toward the acceptance of marijuana and other substances compared to our study of teens conducted just two years ago," said Wallace.
Wallace was referring to the 2009 study which found that 78 percent of teens said that marijuana use was "very" or "extremely" distracting to their driving. In the current study, only 70 percent of teens had this high level of concern.
One reason marijuana use may be on the rise among teens is the increased public discussion of medical marijuana. The 2011 Monitoring the Future study found that marijuana use among eighth to twelfth graders is at its highest level in 30 years.
Other study findings
There are some other study findings that are particularly revealing:
- Friends play a significant role. Most teen drivers, 90 percent, said they would stop driving under the influence of marijuana if they were asked to by their passengers. And 94 percent said they'd curtail driving if they'd consumed alcohol, providing their passengers asked them to.
- Teen passengers less concerned about marijuana than alcohol. Only 72 percent of passengers would speak up to the driver about using marijuana and then driving, compared with 87 percent who said they'd ask the driver to not attempt to drive after drinking.
- Girls more likely to speak up. In both circumstances (marijuana and alcohol use by the driver), the study found that girls were far more likely to speak up than boys.
What parents can do
There is an opportunity here for parents to have more meaningful and constructive conversations about the dangers associated with marijuana and alcohol use and driving.
"Teens are faced with potentially destructive decisions everyday and don't always make the best ones," said Dave Melton, a driving safety expert with Liberty Mutual and managing director of global safety, in a written statement. Melton encouraged parents, mentors, role models and friends to "effectively communicate with them [teens] to ensure they are armed with the right information and aware of the dangers of marijuana and other substances, especially while driving."
Liberty Mutual's Greenberg told FamilyCarGuide that parents can and should get involved in conversations with their teens. "Marijuana and alcohol use is illegal. Parents can have a significant influence over this behavior by having open and honest conversations with their teens.
"Over the year, our studies show that teens who say their parents have established family driving rules and have set clear and mutually accepted consequences and rewards for driving behaviors are less likely to exhibit dangerous habits such as speeding and drinking and driving, and are more likely to have safe habits such as wearing their seat belts," said Greenberg.
Liberty Mutual and SADD have partnered since the early 1990s on programs to help families stay safe behind the wheel. In 2000, the partnership broadened to include a regular research initiative aimed at examining teen attitudes and behaviors about driving, and using these findings to create tools such as the Parent-Teen Safe Driving Contract.

#include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h>STRUCT_DECL(structname, handle);
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
The macros take the following parameters:
The structure name (as would appear after the C keyword "struct") of the native form.
A bit field containing either ILP32 model bit (DATAMODEL_ILP32), or the LP64 model get (DATAMODEL_LP64). In an ioctl(9E), these bits will be present in the flag parameter; in a devmap(9E), they will be present in the model parameter mmap(9E) and can call ddi_mmap_get_model(9F) to get the data model of the current thread.
The variable name used to refer to a particular instance of a structure which is handled by these macros.
The field name within the structure contain substructures. If the structures contain substructures, unions, or arrays, then field can be whether complex expression could occur after the first "." or "->".
The above macros allow a device driver to access data consumed from a 32-bit application regardless whether the driver was compiled to the ILP32 or LP64 data model. These macros effectively hide the difference between the data model of the user application and the driver.
The macros can be broken up into two main categories, the macros that declare and initialize structure handles and the macros that operate on these structures using the structure handles.
The macros STRUCT_DECL() and STRUCT_HANDLE() declare structure handles on the stack, whereas the macros STRUCT_INIT() and STRUCT_SET_HANDLE() initialize the structure handles to point to an instance of the native form structure.
The macros STRUCT_HANDLE() and STRUCT_SET_HANDLE() are used to declare and initialize a structure handle to an existing data structure, for example, ioctls within a STREAMS module.
The macros STRUCT_DECL() and STRUCT_INIT(), on the other hand, are used in modules which declare and initialize a structure handle to a data structure allocated by STRUCT_DECL(), that is, any standard character or block device driver ioctl(9E) routine that needs to copy in data from a user-mode program.
Declares a "structure handle" for a "struct" and allocates an instance of its native form on the stack. It is assumed that the native form is larger than or equal to the ILP32 form. handle is a variable name and is declared as a variable by this macro.
Initializes handle to point to the instance allocated by STRUCT_DECL(), it also sets data model for handle to umodel, and must be called before any access is made through the macros that operate on these structures. When used in an ioctl(9E) routine umodel is the flag parameter; in adevmap(9E) routine umodel is the model parameter and in a mmap(9E) routine, is the return value of ddi_mmap_get_model(9F). This macro is intended for handles created with STRUCT_DECL() only.
Declares a "structure handle" handle but unlike STRUCT_DECL() does not allocate an instance of "struct ".
Initializes to point to the native form instance at addr, it also sets the data model for handle to umodel. This is intended for handles created with STRUCT_HANDLE(). Fields cannot be referenced via the handle until this macro has been invoked. Typically, addr is the address of the native form structure containing the user-mode programs data. When used in an ioctl(9E) umodel is the flag parameter, in a devmap(9E) routine is the model parameter and in a mmap(9E) routine, umodel is the return value of ddi_mmap_get_model(9F).
Returns size of the structure referred to by handle. It will return the size depending upon the data model associated with handle. If the data model stored by STRUCT_INIT() or STRUCT_SET_HANDLE() was DATAMODEL_ILP32, it will return the size of the ILP32 form, else it will return the size of the native form.
Returns the contents of field in the structure described by handle according to the data model associated with handle.
This is the same as STRUCT_FGET() except that the field in question is a pointer of some kind. This macro will cast caddr32_t to a (void *) when it is accessed. Failure to use this macro for a pointer will lead to compiler warnings or failures.
Assigns val to the (non pointer) in the structure described by handle. It should not be used within any other expression, but rather only as a statement.
Returns a pointer to the in the structure described by handle.
Returns a pointer to the native mode instance of the structure described by handle.
The following example uses an ioctl(9E) on a regular character device that copies a data structure that looks like this into the kernel:
struct opdata { size_t size; uint_t flag; };
This data structure definition describes what the ioctl(9E) would look like in a 32-bit application using fixed width types.
#if defined(_MULTI_DATAMODEL) struct opdata32 { size32_t size; uint32_t flag; }; #endif
Note: This example uses the STRUCT_DECL() and STRUCT_INIT() macros to declare and initialize the structure handle.
int xxioctl(dev_t dev, int cmd, intptr_t arg, int mode, cred_t *cr, int *rval_p); { STRUCT_DECL(opdata, op); if (cmd != OPONE) return (ENOTTY); STRUCT_INIT(op, mode); if (copyin((void *)data, STRUCT_BUF(op), STRUCT_SIZE(op))) return (EFAULT); if (STRUCT_FGET(op, flag) != FACTIVE || STRUCT_FGET(op, size) > sizeof (device_state)) return (EINVAL); xxdowork(device_state, STRUCT_FGET(op, size)); return (0); }
This piece of code is an excerpt from a STREAMS module that handles ioctl(9E) data (M_IOCDATA) messages and uses the data structure defined above. This code has been written to run in the ILP32 environment only.
The next example illustrates the use of the STRUCT_HANDLE() and STRUCT_SET_HANDLE() macros which declare and initialize the structure handle to point to an already existing instance of the structure.
The above code example can be converted to run in the LP64 environment using the STRUCT_HANDLE() and STRUCT_SET_HANDLE() as follows:
struct strbuf { int maxlen; /* no. of bytes in buffer */ int len; /* no. of bytes returned */ caddr_t buf; /* pointer to data */ };
static void wput_iocdata(queue_t *q, mblk_t *msgp) { mblk_t *data; /* message block descriptor */ STRUCT_HANDLE(strbuf, sb); /* copyin the data */ if (mi_copy_state(q, mp, &data) == -1) { return; } STRUCT_SET_HANDLE(sb,((struct iocblk *)msgp->b_rptr)->ioc_flag, (void *)data->b_rptr); if (STRUCT_FGET(sb, maxlen) < (int)sizeof (ipa_t)) { mi_copy_done(q, msgp, EINVAL); return; } }
devmap(9E), ioctl(9E), mmap(9E),ddi_mmap_get_model(9F)

These are very positive steps that were negotiated by President Raul Castro and the Catholic Church and the Spanish foreign ministerRichardson urges easing Cuban restrictions Aug 24, 2010
My sense is, there are some elements in their government that don't want to improve relations with the U.S.Richardson returns from Cuba empty-handed Sep 15, 2011
William Blaine "Bill" Richardson III (born November 15, 1947) is an American politician, who served as the 30th Governor of New Mexico from 2003 to 2011. Before being elected governor, Richardson served in the Clinton administration as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Energy Secretary. Richardson has also served as a U.S. Congressman, chairman of the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. On December 3, 2008, then-President-elect Barack Obama designated Richardson for appointment to the cabinet-level position of Commerce Secretary. On January 4, 2009, Richardson announced his decision to withdraw his nomination because of an investigation into improper business dealings in New Mexico. In August 2009, federal prosecutors dropped the pending investigation against the governor, and there has been speculation in the media about Richardson's career, as his second and final term as New Mexico governor has concluded.
Bill Richardson was born in Pasadena, California. His father, William Blaine Richardson Jr. (died in 1972), of New England Yankee and Mexican descent, was an American Citibank executive who grew up in Boston, Massachusetts and lived and worked in Mexico City. His mother, María Luisa López-Collada Márquez is the Mexican daughter of a Spanish father from Villaviciosa, Asturias, Spain and a Mexican mother and was his father's secretary. Richardson's father was born in Nicaragua. Just before Richardson was born, his father sent his mother to California to give birth because, as Richardson explained, "My father had a complex about not having been born in the United States." Richardson, a U.S. citizen by birthright, was raised during his childhood in Mexico City. He was raised Roman Catholic. At age 13, Richardson's parents sent him to Massachusetts to attend a preparatory school, Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, where he played baseball as a pitcher. He entered Tufts University in 1966 where he continued to play baseball.
Richardson's original biographies stated that he had been drafted by the Kansas City Athletics and the Chicago Cubs to play professional baseball, but a 2005 Albuquerque Journal investigation revealed that he never was on any official draft. Richardson acknowledged the error which he claimed was unintentional, saying that he had been scouted by several teams and told that he "would or could" be drafted, but was mistaken in saying that he was actually drafted.

The question I'm concerned with is what affects the well-being of people in a particular place. I'm most concerned with people who are the most marginalized or disenfranchised, who are the poorest.
For most viewers, the movie "Slumdog Millionaire," which depicts life in the slums of Mumbai, India, was a moving, but transient, glimpse into the world of desolate poverty. Students enrolled in Paul Susman's Bucknell in Nicaragua course, however, have experiences with poverty they may never forget. || Ask the Experts: Paul Susman on relief efforts in Haiti
During the intensive, three-week service-learning class offered every other summer, students have helped build a cooperative factory, assisted in rural health clinics, and visited with U.S. and Nicaraguan officials. They have also visited La Chureca, the Managua dump where entire families make their living hunting through stinking, burning piles of trash for food, recyclables and reusable items.
Susman, professor of geography and Latin American studies, was inspired to create the course after participating in the Bucknell Brigade, which has traveled to Nicaragua over winter and spring breaks every year since 1998. Former Bucknellian Jamie Cistoldi Lee '99 started the volunteer effort after Hurricane Mitch ravaged the country. In a decade, students have helped house refugees from the hurricane, raised money to build and supply health clinics, and more.
"It was an extraordinary learning and teaching experience, probably the best I've ever seen," Susman says. "In one week, students would be transformed and would suddenly realize that what they had been studying has very real meaning and consequences for people in Nicaragua, among other places."
Like the Brigade participants, summer school students help with community service projects. In 2009, the class helped make rebar forms for the concrete floor of a factory that will house an organic yarn-spinning cooperative. Unlike the Brigadistas, students earn academic credit for the summer school course. They read Nicaraguan authors and then meet them in person, study policy issues and visit with government officials and opposition leaders, and examine trade agreements and talk to economists and the organizers of organic farms.
The Bucknell in Nicaragua course ties in closely with Susman's research interests as a professor of geography. "The question I'm concerned with is what affects the well-being of people in a particular place," he says. "I'm most concerned with people who are the most marginalized or disenfranchised, who are the poorest."
In studying different models of economic development and trade policy, Susman has seen many failures, and, in Nicaragua among other places, one possible solution. In a series of papers on trade theory, Susman asked how the strategy of attracting multinational corporations to invest capital in new communities affects people on the ground.
"Does it give them meaningful and well paying jobs? Does it reinvest in the area? Does it provide a stable, sustainable means of livelihood?" he asks. "The answer is typically no. The companies often close down when cheaper alternatives arise."
The development model that shows great promise is for local people to organize themselves into cooperatives to build their own factories and health clinics, sometimes with outside assistance. Helping them do so continues to be a powerful and humbling lesson for students who may want to solve the problems of poverty, but discover that the challenges, and the rewards of success, are often greater than they ever imagined.

Faculty and Students Tend Community Gardenby Ian Grant '13 • June 21, 2012 Share:
At Monday's Weed n' Feed in the Wabash Community Garden at Mud Hollow, Professor Doug Calisch talked about the history and necessity of small gardens.
"Having a garden used to be part of what made you a good American," Calisch said. "During World War II, Victory Gardens were integral parts of nearly every community, providing food to millions. It's not a perfect analogy to our garden, but it's close."
There is an aesthetic beauty to the plot; the neat rows of plants harken back to the day when pioneers cleared patches of hardwoods to feed just themselves and their families.
Luckily these are aesthetics you can eat.
Division II Intern Chase Tichenor '13 knelt by the broccoli plants and cut off the flowers with a pocket knife, putting them into a cardboard box. From there the vegetables will be sent to Food Finders of Lafayette, a multi-county organization that provides food for impoverished families—some of whom live in Montgomery county.
Calisch demonstrated the stirrup hoe—named for the triangular blade that resembles the stirrups of a horse saddle. He dragged the hoe between rows of broccoli and cauliflower plants. A cloud of dust rose up from the freshly formed ditch, revealing dark soil beneath the dry top—a sure sign that we are heading into a drought. Behind the blade a small pile of green shoots was easily loosened from the soil.
The garden has been difficult to maintain during the past month. Tichenor waters the garden regularly. His efforts are apparent: The rows of vegetables are green and growing with only a slight curl to the leaves.
But the lack of water is not all bad. When it comes to weeds, growth is inevitable, but the dryness has stunted them. Two weeks of heavy rainfall would produce weeds a foot high, most weeds this time around were only a few inches off the ground—but they were there. And so we were there to tend the garden.
