Which is a better investment: The stock market or farmland?
In July 2012, Mike Duffy at Iowa State University posted an article "Comparing the stock market and Iowa land values: A question of timing" on their Ag Decision Maker website. We've repeated what he did, using Oklahoma data for pastureland and non-irrigated cropland. The U.S. Department of Agriculture regularly reports agricultural land values and associated cash rents for Oklahoma. Oklahoma farmland values have shown annual increases every year since 1997 for both cropland and pastureland. Non-irrigated cropland values have shown gains for 33 of the past 43 years. In similar fashion, pastureland values have increased every year but 9 times during the same period since 1970. Values in 2012 for both categories reached record territory in nominal terms and have more than doubled since 2000. However, in inflation-adjusted terms, the 2012 cropland value is not a record and is still 30% below the peak set back in 1980. In contrast, pasture prices have kept pace with the rate of inflation and are roughly equal to 1980 values.
The composite value of the stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P) average, has recovered from the disastrous 2008 year. Even though the S&P lost 34 percent of its value between 2000 and 2008, its overall record has been impressive since 1970. Stock values rose from 90.05 in 1970 to a June 2012 close of 1,323.48, a 13-fold increase despite the late-2000s recession.
The returns to land or stock shares are composed of two parts. First is a capital gain or increase in value. (In some years, a capital loss occurs if values decrease.) The second component is yearly returns. Yearly returns are affected by both revenue and costs associated with the property.
Land ownership has annual costs not associated with stocks. For example, property taxes must be paid and should be included in a comparison of owning stocks or farmland. In addition, if farmland is held as an investment and not by an owner-operator, a professional farm manager may be involved and the fee for this service should be considered. Some maintenance and insurance with farmland not associated with owning stocks is also necessary.
The data used for this analysis comes from various sources. The Oklahoma non-irrigated cropland and pastureland values come from the USDA/National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Land tax estimates per acre were calculated using data from the Farm Credit Associations of Oklahoma.

Another installment of There Will Be Games HD- read #1 if you haven't already, it's like a comic book and you've got to read it in order. In this act, we introduce a new character- Money. He's a real fucking asshole sometimes. But then he can be pretty awesome too. The problem is that the son of a bitch always wants to be the center of attention even when you think what you're doing is something out of love, passion, or caring. So let's again return to my first-ever reprint series, and the saga of the ill-starred hobby game shop I co-owned.
Tuesday Pontificat'n – The Ownership is Overrated Edition
So, a few more cards are now on the table. I'm not going to write much (this time) about the console themselves. Matt already did a fantastic job assessing each company's sales pitch. Do go read it, if you haven't yet. (What I find interesting is that in a generation where both platforms are based on x86 architecture, they've certainly found ways to wholly differentiate themselves. Bravo!) What I've found fascinating to watch since the initial One unveiling and in the wake of Monday's E3 press conferences is this love affair we all seem to be having with game "ownership," now that console gamers everywhere are terrified of losing it.
Right now, the One's current feature list has precisely one deal-breaker for me. The once every 24-hour check-in required for me to keep access to my games library is a non-starter. It's a poison pill that will kill the console and I'd be shocked –SHOCKED!– if this policy doesn't change by release (or within the first year). Take that away, however, and much of the vitriol directed towards the Xbox One has to do with the fact that it's a blatant attempt to end the era in which we "own" our games, thus killing off the used game market as we know it. This is troubling to people who feel they've done quite well by its existence — Gamestop, people saving $5 on a used game, people spending $60 on a game knowing they can get a chunk back for their next purchase by turning it around right quick. It's been a decent ride for you folks and Sony is shrewd to make continued embrace of this model a marketing point for the PS4. It's still all going to end, though. It's a matter of time.
E3 and the Longest Game
Sony has now shown its hand for the PlayStation 4 at E3, and it looks to be aiming squarely at the hardcore gaming market. In what is certainly not a co-incidence their latest press release was at pains to point out that the PS4 will be doing exactly the opposite of all the things that have so annoyed hobby gamers about the Xbox One so far. It won't need to connect to the internet once per day. It will run used games. It might not be backwards compatible but you will be able to play PS3 titles streamed online through Gaikai. It'll be cheaper, and have a bigger library of indie games. The message from Sony couldn't be clearer: we're the hardware for serious gamers, and we're listening to what you want.
Cracked LCD- Warhammer Quest IOS in Review
I'm not the one to ask if Rodeo Games' Warhammer Quest adequately simulates or replicates the out-of-print and outrageously expensive board game upon which the app is based. Confessional, I never got a chance to play it. By the time I had caught up with wanting to play the widely beloved and venerated dungeoncrawl- regarded by many to be the best of the genre- it was already priced out of my willing-to-spend range and most of my owning friends had moved on to other games. But I also wouldn't be able to tell you because Rodeo Games willfully back-ended all of the board gamey stuff and turned out a video game based on a board game, most definitely not a "port". Thankfully, that means there are no silly animations of clattering dice or digital card decks flippity-flapping around. But that also means that the game is often maddeningly opaque and mechanically obscure. Continue Reading…
Tuesday Babbling – Returns on a Wednesday Edition
I've had this post, half-finished, in the hopper for about three weeks. I call it being fashionably late to the party. Regardless, there's been much ballyhoo about the Xbox One in the weeks since Microsoft disappointed gamers everywhere by not making them center stage at The Grand Unwrapping of 2013. Why we seem to care so much about this is rather beyond me.
Folks, this one wasn't about us and that's neither a slight, nor a problem…
What "Next Generation" Means to Me
We're a couple of days away from this year's E3, when the Captains of the Video Game Industry will issue forth with the usual ridiculous spectacle as the suits take the stage to tell us what we can expect in the coming year. Of course, the 2013 edition of E3 is different than the last eight because we're going to be told more completely (?) what the "next generation" of console gaming is going to look like. Speaking as someone who has literally played video games for my entire life, for over 30 years- I could not give two flying, flipping f#$ks and a deep-bowel s&%t about what Don Mattrick or any of the other used car salesmen they'll trot out on stage have to say.

Cracked LCD- Sentinels of the Multiverse Retroview
I liked- but most definitely did not love- Greater Than Games' Sentinels of the Multiverse back when I first reviewed it in 2011. Less than two years on, the game has seen three major add-ons (Rook City, Infernal Relics, Shattered Timelines )and an array of character, villain, and environment micro-expansions. I actually did not realize that there was a second edition, dubbed the "Enhanced Edition" that clears up some rules issues, adds a new balancing mechanic based on the number of players, and provides much-needed status tokens. I thought it would be a great candidate for the Retroview treatment, just as the Lord of the Rings LCG was. Thanks to a charitable friend, I was able to get my hands on practically everything available for the game to date so I've been spending the past couple of weeks playing solo and multiplayer games to capture a sense of where I am with the game at this stage in its apparently ongoing development. Continue Reading…
Mice and Mystics Review
Once upon a time, there was a boy. And the boy loved games very much.
He would pester his friends and his parents to play games all the time, but while they loved him, they didn't love games quite so much and he never seemed to get to play as much as he would like. Then, one day, he read a book about a game called Dungeons & Dragons, and his little eyes grew round and bright like brass buttons, and he knew his world would never be the same again.
Cracked LCD Classics- There Will Be Games HD #1
It's turning to summer here in Atlanta, which means soon it will be so humid that you will be able to look out your window and see schools of fish swimming by. For most folks, summertime makes them think of dreadful things like beaches and cookouts. For me, it takes me back to the summer of 2006 when the game shop I owned and operated with two partners , Atlanta Game Factory, was going strong. I think of scorching hot days driving through Atlanta rush hour traffic in my beloved and airless '82 Chevrolet Scottsdale, trying to get to a local distributor to pick up Magic cards for the Friday Night Magic booster draft. I remember sitting out back priming Warmachine figures and shooting the shit with Peter, Mike, and Elliot. Waking up every warm morning and not caring one lick that I had a twelve hour work day ahead of me. It was my favorite time with the store, the best summer I ever had. Continue Reading…
Why Metro Last Light Disappoints
First off, hey, remember me? I used to write here a lot! Good to see you too.
So…first BioShock Infinite and now this.
Metro 2033 was one of the smartest, original and most challenging shooters to appear on the scene in quite some time when THQ and 4A Games released it back in 2010. Flawed? Yeah, but its uncompromising design made for one of the best gaming experiences of the year.
Now, with Metro Last Light we get a drop dead gorgeous sequel set in the same bleak, worn out world but this time it seems…different. Milder. Safer. "Streamlined" and Corporate.

Setting up Tasker to toggle Sync On / Off during the work day is a good way to prolong battery life. I already have Tasker doing other stuff for me, so this uses few additional resources.
This is a quick and dirty setup, but it works and it's dead simple - perfect for someone who's never used Tasker before. I'm sure someone here could come up with a more elegant solution, so please feel free to get fancy...
First we're gonna setup 3 Tasks ("tasks" are the bits that actually do the work).
AutoSync On, AutoSync Off, and AutoSync 5 minutes.
Those Tasks will be used by 2 Profiles (the "profiles" tell those tasks when to run).
AutoSync Home (Sync ON in the evening, then OFF in the morning), AutoSync Work (Intermittent Sync 3x from 8:00a-5:00p).
Anyway, launch Tasker then tap Tasks. Hit the + key.
When prompted, enter the name for the first one...
"AutoSync On", then... > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) On > check > check. You're done.
Do the same thing again for AutoSync Off, with the obvious differences.
+ > "AutoSync Off" > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) Off > check > check. Done.
AutoSync 5m will turn AutoSync On... for 5 minutes... then off. 3 steps.
+ > AutoSync 5m > check > + > Net > AutoSync > (Set) On > check
(now you'll add a second & third action to this same task)
+ > Task > Wait > + (minutes + 5x to read 5 minutes) > check
+ > Net > AutoSync > (Set) Off > check
You can see here what the Task will do in 3 steps. Tap "check" and you're done with the 3 Tasks.
Those are going to be ran from the two Time Based Profiles called "AutoSync Home" and "AutoSync Work".
Profiles > + > "AutoSync Home" > check > Time
I've set the times from 17:00 (5pm) to 8:00 (set it to whatever you want / it can be adjusted later, but the evening is first)
> check > Select the "AutoSync On" Task that you made
Press and hold "AutoSync On" > Add Exit Task < "AutoSync Off"
That'll automatically turn on AutoSync at 5:00pm, and turn it off again at 8:00am. Make sure the Profile is checked (to the right of the name) to make it active.
AutoSync Work.
Same as above, but the From time is 10:00 > Repeat every 2 hours > To 14:00.
Select the AutoSync 5m Task. No exit task.
That'll turn AutoSync on for 5 minutes during the day at 10:00am, 12 noon and 2:00pm. Again, check the Profile to make it active.
Tap Check to Save and Minimize. If you run a task killer, you'll want to make Tasker exempt. Also, when you get everything working the way you want, backup your work (Menu > Data > Backup).
Tasker can do much much more. This is the tip of the iceburg. Check out the Tasker Site and the Tasker Wiki.
I'm not affiliated. I just like the program. Really. It's the most powerful program I've found for Android. When someone shows you a cool app they have on their phone (or 5), you can say "Tasker can do that (all that)"
Once you get Tasker doing things for you, take your Amaze to the next level - get some NFC Tags and NFC Task Launcher which has, you guessed it, Tasker intergration! Once setup, you'll never have to touch the phone again... it'll just automagically do your bidding. <insert evil laugh>

Death Cab For Cutie are recording a new album in the studio which will be the band's last with guitarist and producer Chris Walla
HARMER: To his credit, he spoke up very early on in the process. It wasn't like we were a week away from finishing the record or something. It was actually kind of exciting in that moment to stop and rethink our process. I'm really grateful to him for that. Having an outside producer really galvanized all of our roles in a good way, and in a way that I'd never experienced before. It really made me stop and take stock of my own playing in a different way, which was cool.

Old Testament: Kenyon's Observation - Education Videos
Embed joshmcdowellministry 184 views 2012-07-06T11:46:11 The lack of Old Testament manuscripts does not take away from their authority, because God gave the scribes such a commitment and discipline to the copy the Scriptures exactly. Sir Fredrick Kenyon, the curator at the British Museum and one of the top experts in the world on manuscripts, made an interesting observation that Josh shares in this video.

This report provides a preliminary outline for an offset strategy that exploits and builds upon existing enduring U.S. capability advantages to restore and maintain U.S. global power projection capability. This effort is essential in order to improve crisis stability, bolster allied confidence in U.S. security commitments, strengthen conventional deterrence, reduce operational risk in the event of war, and compete more efficiently over the long run.

Also, the unemployment rate in June fell to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent in May."

Joyce Hemsley (22.9.28 / Portsmouth England)
Poems by Joyce Hemsley : 1677 / 1922
The Veil From History
Veronica, Veronica, such a Saintly name,
She carefully cleansed the Face of Jesus
When He was almost lame...
Walking along the 'Dolorosa'
With gentleness she came
And using her veil, she dried the dampness
From the Holy brow, and so continued to Calvary
Where Jesus was placed upon the Cross
As to God - He kept 'the vow'.

Dr. Ivan Eland is no fan of Gitmo or the extra-legal detention of enemy combatants, but he's troubled by the way the administration arranged the prisoner swap, violating the law and gaining nothing in return. He believes that the President should investigate the manner in which Bergdahl disappeared and the deaths of those who were searching for him, in order to dispel the rumors and half-truths that have circulated since the swap took place. What will become of the Taliban Leaders who were some of the most brutal men captured during the war is another issue that the administration apparently paid almost no attention to. Will they wind up on the battle field only to kill again?

John Rubino reports. The European Central Bank tried something different. As Bloomberg reported:
The European Central Bank cut its deposit rate below zero and said it would announce further measures later today as policy makers try to counter the prospect of deflation in the world's second-largest economy. ECB President Mario Draghi reduced the deposit rate to minus 0.10 percent from zero, making the institution the world's first major central bank to use a negative rate. Policy makers also lowered the benchmark rate to 0.15 percent from 0.25 percent. The promise of further measures today "has stoked up hopes that the ECB is going to unleash a huge bazooka on the market in the press conference," said Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec Securities Ltd. in London. While he thinks that quantitative easing is "very unlikely" now, "it may well be that what the ECB just said is stoking up hopes that QE could be on the cards after all. "

Our old friend Joe Messina and I discuss the alarming state of public schools in America today. Imagine a substitute teacher asking 9 year olds for dating advice, or a teacher getting suspended for showing a historical video about white actors wearing blackface, or a student causing a stir for drawing a picture of a cloud that resembled a gun. The list goes on and on. Oh and now there's warning labels on water bottles, so be very careful, the world's a very dangerous place.

Jason Burack was back on the show after a long hiatus. He's deeply concerned about the state of the economy in the United States and the future of capitalism. As you might have guessed, Jason believes your best protection is precious metals, although there might be a crack-up boom along the way. Otherwise, if we keep moving at the current rate, the end result is clear.

Ned Schmidt says ignore the Street and focus on commodities and precious metals. Paper wealth isn't worth the paper it's printed on. We're living in the Champagne Economy. China needs food so you better believe that the price of agi-commodities is going up. And they're hoarding gold and silver so they're going up as well. So your long-term investment decisions are pretty easy.

They're happy with their house."

Woody O'Brien, newsletter writer and born again farmer answers the question why the economic system hasn't collapsed once and for all. In his opinion the thieves who run the system are masters at kicking the can down the road. That and the fracking boom in the energy patch have kept employment up and kept things seemingly normal. But Woody believes that the day will come when it stops working and when it does watch out!

Howard Davidowitz says that we're in an economic depression and have been for years. The government is lying to us and won't take the actions necessary to solve it. The solution will require everyone to share the pain. Eventually we won't be able to print anymore money and then it will be game over. He's telling you what you've been hearing on FSN for years. How much longer will it be?

Are you on the NSA's target list? We might be and the same with you. There's been no way of knowing, until now or soon anyway. Snowden got a copy and it's going to be realeased by Glenn Greenwald on the site TheIntercept.com. Then we'll all know the truth about whom the government considers a threat and I believe the results will be shocking. We also discuss the truth about Fracking. You might be surprised.

Bob Hoye, keen student of historic past credit busts and booms, believes that gold is at or near its bottom and will now begin its long term move upward. Stocks and bonds conversely will begin their move down. Other than short term treasuries, things will be extremely difficult there. The US dollar should remain fairly stable in spite of the country's major problems, as there really is no alternative.

Martin Armstrong isn't backing off of his prediction for a major stock market advance. The way he sees it, there's no place left to put one's money. He's not buying the bear case for the market. Not that he believes that the economy is doing well, quite the contrary, but rather it's a case of where else will the pension funds and big investors park their funds. There's no alternative and that's why the market is going to take off--big time!

Alasdair MacLeod joined us for a recap of the most recent UK and EU elections. Looks like the debt slaves are getting quite restless. Guess they're getting tired of having what little wealth remains constantly confiscated. They're not impressed with having GDP adjusted upward with illicit activities like drugs, prostitution and gambling. They're looking for a real solution and they know that they're not getting it from the EU. The question is where will they find it?

She's chock full of cutting edge investment ideas that you just won't find elsewhere. Since she's not a stockbroker or sales type person, you can take it or leave, but at least listen to what she's saying. She's as worried about the dollar as you and I. But for now, we all need income.

As expected, the US revised the most recent quarter's GDP from barely positive to sharply negative today. But once again the true extent of the problem was hidden by some statistical sleight of hand, in this case wildly-optimistic inflation assumption Here's an excerpt from the Consumer Metrics Institute's just-published analysis:May 29, 2014 – BEA Revises 1st Quarter 2014 GDP Sharply Downward to Outright Contraction at Nearly a 1% Annual Rate: In their second estimate of the US GDP for the first quarter of 2014, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the economy was contracting at a -0.99% annualized rate. When compared to prior quarters, the new measurement is down over 3.6% from the 2.64% growth rate reported for the 4th quarter of 2013, and it is now more than 5% lower than the 4.19% reported for the 3rd quarter of 2013.

Seth Peretzman has been selling precious metals for a while. He sees the current price action as the classic set-up. Metals get slammed going into the summer making for their cycle lows and then setting for the rally that we all know is coming. Perhaps we'll break $1200 for gold, but it appears that we're very close to the bottom in silver. Some may accuse us of being cheerleaders for the metals, but nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, we're just observers of human nature and we've seen this play over and over again throughout history. Unfortunately, history is no longer taught in American schools, so the vast majority of Americans won't know what happened until it's too late.

But he's also been bullish on palladium and nickel this year, which his subscribers have done quite well by.

Dave Bego believes that unions in the United States have cost us all dearly. They're secretly funding the campaigns to increase the minimum wage and to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. They amass vast fortunes and really don't care about their members. Rather, they're all about furthering the collectivist agenda. Fortunately, they've lost major battles in Michigan and Indiana, with other battles on the way. Dave knows because he's on the front lines.

You can speculate as to why. David sees 1150-1160 as the potential bottom, sometime in July. After that it could be happy days are here again. At least David seems to think so.

John Rubino writes, "Ah, the Italians. They're good for at least one entry in the 'Why We're Ungovernable' series each year, and their latest is the best yet: Italy has announced it will start including estimated revenues from prostitution and illegal drug sales in official gross domestic product (GDP) figures.The country's National Institute of Statistics says starting next year, the GDP result will also include estimates on the value of the black market in cigarettes and alcohol. The move has been driven by new European Union rules requiring nations to include all activities that produce income in their national accounts, regardless of their legality."
We also discuss what happened with the UK and EU elections. They represent a tectonic shift that's coming to America soon. Forget austerity, more money printing and Quantitative Easing and pass the credit card please. We just don't want to feel the pain.

Lately, I can't seem to throw a Vitamin Water without hitting a blogger recounting the latest episode of Gossip Girl or The Hills (including those on the other side of my office). The Monday night parade of excesses has become escapism central for New York's creative underclass. In depressing times, it's comforting to know that somewhere out there, boys and girls with whimsical surnames like "Van Der Woodsen" and "Patridge" are frequenting nightclubs with whimsical names like "Pink Elephant" or "Opera," enjoying most expensive liquors and raddest Bruce Jenner spawn our great country has to offer.
In reality, conspicuous consumption in New York nightlife has been sidelined for the bulk of this decade's countrywide recession.
The city's seen the openings of more modest hotspots that serve up gimmicks like Milk & Honey's "no name-dropping" rule, Rusty Knot's 99-cent beers and the Beatrice Inn's dank-basement aesthetic.
But does the pricey, show-offy partying bloggers parse each week really still thrive in contemporary Manhattan? Sure, but the stars aren't paying for it (they get paid to show up and drink). It's the finance fellows shelling out for the lifeblood of the nightclub industry, bottle service. The going-out-shirt-clad guys and the models that stand next to them enjoy vodkas that retail for $25 at a markup of hundreds more. At Chelsea club Marquee, a "multiple-bottle minimum" forces these men to run up several thousand dollar tabs. [I was about to say, hey there Andrea watch your gender binary, it's not necessarily always men paying for bottle service. But then I remembered that clubs with bottle service are pretty much the place in this city where the gender binary holds true most steadfastly, like the Alamo but with more hair product. -Ed.] This week's great i-banker purge has velvet rope-happy club owners and doormen in a panic over the loss of their best customers, and possibly the service they once helped sustain.
Poor timing indeed for the openings of weirdly-exclusive spots The Eldridge and El Bano [Per their website: "New Yorks [sic] Most Exclusive New Nightlife Experience." -Ed.], which require a laser-engraved card and a specially cut key to gain entry, respectively. The bankers who might've once clamored for these coveted props are likely tightening their man-purse strings. Business reporters have found Lehman Brothers' file box-carrying roadkill relegated to drinking at (gasp!) the bar of a Bobby Van's. Only time will tell how the Marquees and Eldridges will survive this weekend and beyond, but my guess is it involves Europeans. Lots and lots of Europeans.

Ellis Parker Butler
I hold her letter as I stand,
Nor break the seal; no need to guess
What dainty little female hand
Penned this most delicate address.
The scented seal—I break it not,
But stand in stormy revery;
I tremble as I wonder what
She who penned this will say to me.
I wonder what my wife will say
If so it be she e'er shall know
I only mailed her note today—
It should have gone two weeks ago!

Now that's some salty bacon! Beachgoer's surprise when they see a PIG go for a swim in the sea
- Erin Schwartz and her family were enjoying a South Carolina beach day when they saw a pig swimming in the ocean near by
- Another person reported seeing a second pig
- It's likely that the hogs got caught in a river which leads to an ocean
- When the pig neared the beach, a family was able to safely bring the pig back to the shore
A Seattle family enjoying a Friday morning beach day were surprised to see a pig swimming in the ocean a few feet away from them.
Erin Schwartz and her family were enjoying their last day of vacation on Sullivan's Island in South Carolina when they spotted something swimming they thought might be a dog.
However, when Erin Schwartz's husband Eric saw a snout coming from the water he realized it wasn't a dog but a hog.
Getting some sun: This little piggy mysteriously ended up on a beach in South Carolina
You lost?: Police officers corralled the squealing swine on Friday in response to a call from a vacationing Seattle family
'My husband spotted it first and at first thought it was a dog,' said Schwartz
'It wasn't until we saw the snout and tail that my husband said, 'Is that a pig?'
Erin and Eric Schwartz were out that day with their two children Luca and Ruby who were also impressed to see a pig splashing around in the ocean.
The pig was about 20 to 30 feet away from the Schwartz family when they first saw it.
The Schwartz's only spent 13 days in South Carolina but the highlight of their whole entire trip was seeing the pig swim.
'Just for an hour, all of the sudden we see this pig...It was a crazy last hour,' Schwartz said.
'It was the highlight.'
When the pig neared the beach, a family was able to safely bring the pig back to the shore.
'It looked like it had been swimming for some time,' Schwartz said.
'It looked tired and disoriented,' he continued.
Police responded to a call about the 25-pound pig and were able to catch it.
Witnesses recall seeing a second pig but only one was captured.
'It is likely that the hog(s) were caught in the current in the upper reaches of the Wando and/or Cooper Rivers and came ashore at the first available location. This often occurs with wild animals but is more common with deer and alligators,' said the town administrator Andy Benke.

Golconda diamond fetches $21.5 mln at auction
GENEVA (Reuters) - A huge, internally flawless diamond from India's fabled Golconda mines was sold at auction in Geneva on Tuesday night for a record 20.355 million Swiss francs, Christie's said.
The rare, colourless stone weighing 76.02 carats, and roughly the size of a large strawberry, once belonged to Archduke Joseph August of Austria (1872-1962), a prince of the Hungarian line of the Habsburgs.
Its pre-sale estimate was 15-to-25 million Swiss francs and it fetched more than double the price paid for it at auction almost two decades ago.
"It is a world record for a Golconda diamond and a world record price per carat for a colourless diamond," Francois Curiel, director of the international jewellery department at Christie's, told reporters.
The previous record was held by the "Beau Sancy", a pear-shaped diamond of 34.98 carats, sold by rival Sotheby's for 9 million Swiss francs last May.
"The market is not on the best form at the moment. The sale tonight was almost flabbergasting," Curiel said.
He added that the buyer, who bid by telephone, wished to remain anonymous, but said the last bidder to drop out of the sale was Fred Mouawad, an international dealer with offices in Dubai, the Middle East and Geneva.
The seller was Black, Starr & Frost, an American jeweller founded in 1810 and based in California.
"My understanding is that this stone is going to a museum and it will probably be the centrepiece," Black, Starr & Frost's chairman Alfredo Molina told Reuters in the Geneva saleroom.
Diamonds and gemstones are a safe refuge for investors in difficult economic times, he said. "There is a crisis and people don't trust governments and banks. Paper money is a depreciating asset," he added.
The diamond was the star lot at Christie's semi-annual jewellery sale in Geneva, which fetched 76.6 million francs, with 290 of 348 lots sold.
Nineteen lots went for more than $1 million each, the auction house said in a statement. They included a brooch with a Ceylon sapphire weighing 60.44 carats, surrounded by diamonds, that went for 1.7 million francs, more than three times its estimate.
The bidding for the Archduke Joseph diamond opened at 8 million Swiss francs but the price swiftly rose amid heated telephone bidding.
Historical diamonds originating in the Golconda mines, virtually exhausted by the 18th century, include the Koh-i-Noor, now in the British crown jewels, and the blue Hope Diamond, part of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.
"The Archduke Joseph Diamond is the finest and largest perfect Golconda diamond ever to appear at auction. It is comparable in its noble lineage and superb quality to the legendary Koh-i-Noor," Rahul Kadakia, head of Christie's jewellery for the Americas and Switzerland, said in a statement.
In 1933, records show the Archduke deposited the stone in the vault of the Hungarian General Credit Bank.
"Three years later it was sold to a European banker, and kept in France, locked away in a safe deposit box, where fortunately it remained undiscovered during World War Two," the auction house said.
Decades later it surfaced at auction in 1961 and again at Christie's in November 1993, netting 9.7 million Swiss francs, equivalent to $6.5 million at the time, the auction house said.
The stone was subsequently "slightly recut". Christie's is privately held by French billionaire Francois Pinault.

The saga of who Shinya Aoki will face at DREAM 17 continues to change as now the Japanese fighter will face American Rich Clementi in place of an injured Antonio McKee.
Aoki (27-5 MMA, 11-2 DREAM) had refused to sign a contract to face Shane Nelson (13-5 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) at DREAM.17. Nelson's fight contract has been voided, but he has been awarded a two-fight deal with the promotion. He will likely debut at DREAM.18. Aoki would not sign the agreement for the fight, and instead, has chosen a fight with Rich Clementi (40-19-1 MMA, 0-0 DREAM). Clementi is the fifth opponent for Aoki on this card, as Shane Nelson, Willamy Freire, Jamie Varner and Antonio McKee were all in negotiations at one time. DREAM.17 takes place May 29 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan with the following card.

July 30, 2013
Columbia, Mo. - Harry Smith, a former University of Missouri Football Coach, staff member and longtime contributor to the program died on Tuesday. He was 94.
A native of Russellville, Mo., Smith spent two stints as an assistant coach at the University of Missouri, beginning his coaching career in 1941 and helping the Tigers to the Big Six Conference championship and a berth into the Sugar Bowl. At the time that Jan. 1, 1942, Sugar Bowl contest vs. Fordham (L, 2-0) was just the second bowl berth in program history and helped continue a period of great success for the Tigers on the gridiron.
"We are saddened to learn of the passing of Coach Harry Smith and wish to send our deepest condolences to his entire family," Director of Athletics Mike Alden said. "Coach Smith was a visible fixture around Coach Pinkel's football program over the past decade and was someone that embodied the spirit of Mizzou, not only through his coaching under Coach Don Faurot and Coach Dan Devine, but with his work on campus, and most importantly, through his mentorship of his student-athletes. The University of Missouri mourns the loss of a great man and college football Hall of Famer today, and our thoughts go out to his family, their friends and the many student-athletes he impacted along the way."
Smith returned to Columbia in 1952 to once again work for Faurot and was a key coaching figure on Dan Devine's staffs from 1958-66, helping Mizzou accumulate a 64-23-7 overall record and the school's first-ever bowl victory. The Tigers capped a Big Eight Championship season in 1960 with a 21-14 win over No. 4 Navy in the Orange Bowl. That Tiger team was the school's first to be ranked No. 1 nationally and finished No. 4 in the final UPI poll.
With Smith on the sidelines Mizzou enjoyed a 97-63-10 overall mark and he was later inducted into the Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame in 2002.
"I'm very sad to learn of Coach Smith's passing," Head Coach Gary Pinkel said. "I'm really proud that I personally had a chance to get to know him over the years, what a great life he lived. He had an unbelievable impact on so many people in and out of football, just a tremendous influence on all of the people he touched. I think being able to have Coach Smith be part of our program has been one of the highlights of my time at Mizzou, it's been really special to be around him and to talk to all of his players and to see how much he meant to them. Mizzou lost one of its greats today, and I lost a good friend, we're going to miss him dearly."
Nicknamed "Blackjack" for the cast he wore on his hand during the 1939 season, Smith earned All-America recognition following the 1938 and 1939 seasons. He also played on two Rose Bowl squads before being named to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955.

THE incoming head of the Leigh Academies Trust has ambitious plans to expand into Greenwich.
The trust currently runs six schools in and around Dartford including the Leigh Technology Academy in Green Street Green Road, Longfield Academy and Wilmington Academy.
A seventh school, the Leigh University Technical College, is currently under construction at the Bridge Science and Business Park on the former Joyce Green hospital site and is set to open in 2014.
Simon Beamish, at 36 the youngest chief executive of any academy trust in the UK, says the board of governors at a secondary school in Greenwich has voted unanimously to become part of the LAT.
The aim is to set up another 'cluster' of schools in the borough like the one in Dartford and the trust also has plans to set one up elsewhere in Kent.
Mr Beamish told News Shopper: "We will never expand or grow if it means sacrificing the strengths we have in the Dartford cluster, so we need to get the balance right.
"I think schools work best and succeed best when they operate within successful teams and successful families.
"It is very difficult for schools to survive alone and they need the challenge of working with a family."
The father-of-three and former Longfield Academy principal says schools like the UTC will help boost Britain in an area where the country has fallen behind.
He said: "The school will offer a specialist curriculum focusing on engineering, technology and computing.
"It is an area where the UK hasn't delivered in the past few years despite having produced the likes of Isambard Kingdom Brunel."
The Leigh UTC will train up to 600 of the next generation of engineers, aged 14 to 18, during 8.30am to 5pm days aimed at preparing students for the work place.
Mr Beamish is set to take over from Frank Green after he was appointed the new schools commissioner by education secretary Michael Gove.
Academies are publicly-funded independent schools with freedom from local authority control and greater autonomy to set pay and conditions for staff, deliver their curriculum and change the lengths of terms and school days.
The first academies were set-up by Tony Blair's Labour government in 2000.

Wal-Mart to hire 50,000 to meet the holiday rushBy: msnbc
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to hire more than 50,000 seasonal employees to work at its Walmart stores in the United States, slightly more than it did last year, as it gets ready for the winter holiday season, its busiest time of year.
The world's largest retailer also said on Friday that it would give current workers the chance to work more hours during the season. Some Walmart workers have said that they are not given the opportunity to work as many hours as they would like.
The world's largest retailer also said on Friday that it would give current workers the chance to work more hours during the season. Some Walmart workers have said that they are not given the opportunity to work as many hours as they would like.
"We know many customers are continuing to struggle as a result of the economy and high unemployment levels, but they have shown us that they're resilient. They're committed to giving their families a memorable Christmas," Walmart U.S. Chief Operating Officer Gisel Ruiz said in a statement.
Walmart did not say how many seasonal workers it hired for the 2011 holiday season, but the plan to hire more than 50,000 is up slightly from last year. The company is trying to improve the level of service at its thousands of stores, where shoppers often complain that they have to wait in long lines to pay.
Retailers typically add seasonal staff in the weeks leading up to the holiday shopping season in order to work in stores and to help in other areas, such as distribution and fulfilling online orders.
Earlier this week, department store chain Kohl's Corp said it planned to increase its holiday season hiring by more than 10 percent. Kohl's said on Tuesday that it plans to hire more than 52,700 people for the holiday season to work in stores and support its online business.
Target Corp, meanwhile, said it plans to hire about 80,000 to 90,000 seasonal employees for its stores and distribution centers. While Target plans to hire fewer than the 92,000 seasonal staff it brought on in 2011, it said that 30 percent of those who were hired to work during last year's holiday season were then given year-round positions.

Lawrence Dallaglio impressed by England progress
Thursday 01 September 2011
Lawrence Dallaglio thinks England have come a long way under the tutelage of Martin Johnson but believes there are a lot of improvements that can still be made.
England head to New Zealand as fourth favourites to lift aloft the Webb Ellis Trophy, marking quite a turnaround for Johnson and his troops.
Questions were raised to whether Johnson was out of his depth in his first coaching role but now the former lock has made his mark on the England side after a three-year bedding-in period.
Dallaglio believes there are still a lot of improvements that can be made but the fact they are being mentioned as potential outsiders for the World Cup is a sign of the progress that has been made.
"I think if you had asked me the question 12 months ago I think I would have sat here pretty gloomy faced," he told Press Association Sport.
"It was really getting quite depressing but the transformation has sort of gained pace.
"England have made progress in the last 12 months. They won the Six Nations championship.
"All right, they didn't win the Grand Slam and it was disappointing they lost that game (to Ireland) but they still won a Six Nations championship, which takes a lot of doing.
"They have beaten Australia and last week they beat Ireland for the first time in eight years over there.
"We can all sit here and be critical, saying they could have played a bit better. They are not perfect, there are still a lot of mistakes.
"There is still a number of positions where we probably still need competition but they are kind of grinding out results.
"Any team that is winning and is not necessarily playing brilliantly it is a good sign."
Dallaglio was speaking at the launch of his new book World Cup Rugby Tales, where he revisits previous tournaments with the help of fellow rugby glitterati.
The former Wasps flanker believes it is difficult to look beyond hosts New Zealand for this year's edition and thinks it is their trophy to lose.
"At this time, the team that seem to be New Zealand and they have been for quite a while," he said.
"There will still be questions asked whether they can close the deal out, especially in their own country.
"They blew it against Australia at the weekend, which was probably a decent result for everyone as it shows there are a few question marks around whether they can do it.
"So, it is going to be very exciting."

A Letter Written From London To Mrs. Strangeways Hornet
Say, my Hortensia, in this silent Hour,
When the pale Queen of Night exerts her Pow'r,
What Guardian--Angels on thy Slumbers wait,
To paint the Glories of thy future State;
To shew what Mansions, in the Realms divine,
Are set apart for Souls, refin'd as thine?
Tho' thither, wing'd with Hope, thy Virtues soar,
Late, very late, may'st thou those Realms explore!
Adas! I left thee sick: O Shame to tell!
I should have staid to see Hortensia well:
But dire Necessity, relentless, sway'd;
She, stern, enjoin'd, unwilling I obey'd.
Torn from thy Sight, how have I dragg'd the Day'
Which, in thy Presence, flew too swift away!
How shall I pass the melancholy Night?
When will the Post arrive, and give Delight?
Of thy returning Health when shall I hear?
Fain would I hope, tho' quite depress'd with Fear.
O Pow'r supreme! yet, yet, Hortensia spare;
The Stranger, and the Wretched, are her Care:
Snatch her not hence; we cannot let her go;
Still let her be thy Substitute below,
To raise the sinking Heart, to heal Distress;
To Her was giv'n the Will and Pow'r to bless.
O would Heav'n grant me, ere I cross the Main,
To see thy Face, Hortensia, once again!
But I must hasten to Hibernia's Shore;
And never, never, shall behold thee more.
