Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 4, by Edward Gibbon, [1788], at sacred-texts.com
Although Theodatus descended from a race of heroes, he was ignorant of the art, and averse to the dangers, of war. Although he had studied the writings of Plato and Tully, philosophy was incapable of purifying his mind from the basest passions, avarice and fear. He had purchased a sceptre by ingratitude and murder: at the first menace of an enemy, he degraded his own majesty and that of a nation, which already disdained their unworthy sovereign. Astonished by the recent example of Gelimer, he saw himself dragged in chains through the streets of Constantinople: the terrors which Belisarius inspired were heightened by the eloquence of Peter, the Byzantine ambassador; and that bold and subtle advocate persuaded him to sign a treaty, too ignominious to become the foundation of a lasting peace. It was stipulated, that in the acclamations of the Roman people, the name of the emperor should be always proclaimed before that of the Gothic king; and that as often as the statue of Theodatus was erected in brass on marble, the divine image of Justinian should be placed on its right hand. Instead of conferring, the king of Italy was reduced to solicit, the honors of the senate; and the consent of the emperor was made indispensable before he could execute, against a priest or senator, the sentence either of death or confiscation. The feeble monarch resigned the possession of Sicily; offered, as the annual mark of his dependence, a crown of gold of the weight of three hundred pounds; and promised to supply, at the requisition of his sovereign, three thousand Gothic auxiliaries, for the service of the empire. Satisfied with these extraordinary concessions, the successful agent of Justinian hastened his journey to Constantinople; but no sooner had he reached the Alban villa, 60 than he was recalled by the anxiety of Theodatus; and the dialogue which passed between the king and the ambassador deserves to be represented in its original simplicity. "Are you of opinion that the emperor will ratify this treaty? Perhaps. If he refuses, what consequence will ensue? War. Will such a war, be just or reasonable? Most assuredly: every to his character. What is your meaning? You are a philosopher - Justinian is emperor of the Romans: it would all become the disciple of Plato to shed the blood of thousands in his private quarrel: the successor of Augustus should vindicate his rights, and recover by arms the ancient provinces of his empire." This reasoning might not convince, but it was sufficient to alarm and subdue the weakness of Theodatus; and he soon descended to his last offer, that for the poor equivalent of a pension of forty-eight thousand pounds sterling, he would resign the kingdom of the Goths and Italians, and spend the remainder of his days in the innocent pleasures of philosophy and agriculture. Both treaties were intrusted to the hands of the ambassador, on the frail security of an oath not to produce the second till the first had been positively rejected. The event may be easily foreseen: Justinian required and accepted the abdication of the Gothic king. His indefatigable agent returned from Constantinople to Ravenna, with ample instructions; and a fair epistle, which praised the wisdom and generosity of the royal philosopher, granted his pension, with the assurance of such honors as a subject and a Catholic might enjoy; and wisely referred the final execution of the treaty to the presence and authority of Belisarius. But in the interval of suspense, two Roman generals, who had entered the province of Dalmatia, were defeated and slain by the Gothic troops. From blind and abject despair, Theodatus capriciously rose to groundless and fatal presumption, 61 and dared to receive, with menace and contempt, the ambassador of Justinian; who claimed his promise, solicited the allegiance of his subjects, and boldly asserted the inviolable privilege of his own character. The march of Belisarius dispelled this visionary pride; and as the first campaign 62 was employed in the reduction of Sicily, the invasion of Italy is applied by Procopius to the second year of the Gothic war. 63
After Belisarius had left sufficient garrisons in Palermo and Syracuse, he embarked his troops at Messina, and landed them, without resistance, on the opposite shores of Rhegium. A Gothic prince, who had married the daughter of Theodatus, was stationed with an army to guard the entrance of Italy; but he imitated, without scruple, the example of a sovereign faithless to his public and private duties. The perfidious Ebermor deserted with his followers to the Roman camp, and was dismissed to enjoy the servile honors of the Byzantine court. 64 From Rhegium to Naples, the fleet and army of Belisarius, almost always in view of each other, advanced near three hundred miles along the sea-coast. The people of Bruttium, Lucania, and Campania, who abhorred the name and religion of the Goths, embraced the specious excuse, that their ruined walls were incapable of defence: the soldiers paid a just equivalent for a plentiful market; and curiosity alone interrupted the peaceful occupations of the husbandman or artificer. Naples, which has swelled to a great and populous capital, long cherished the language and manners of a Grecian colony; 65 and the choice of Virgil had ennobled this elegant retreat, which attracted the lovers of repose and study, elegant retreat, which attracted the lovers of repose and study, from the noise, the smoke, and the laborious opulence of Rome. 66 As soon as the place was invested by sea and land, Belisarius gave audience to the deputies of the people, who exhorted him to disregard a conquest unworthy of his arms, to seek the Gothic king in a field of battle, and, after his victory, to claim, as the sovereign of Rome, the allegiance of the dependent cities. "When I treat with my enemies," replied the Roman chief, with a haughty smile, "I am more accustomed to give than to receive counsel; but I hold in one hand inevitable ruin, and in the other peace and freedom, such as Sicily now enjoys." The impatience of delay urged him to grant the most liberal terms; his honor secured their performance: but Naples was divided into two factions; and the Greek democracy was inflamed by their orators, who, with much spirit and some truth, represented to the multitude that the Goths would punish their defection, and that Belisarius himself must esteem their loyalty and valor. Their deliberations, however, were not perfectly free: the city was commanded by eight hundred Barbarians, whose wives and children were detained at Ravenna as the pledge of their fidelity; and even the Jews, who were rich and numerous, resisted, with desperate enthusiasm, the intolerant laws of Justinian. In a much later period, the circumference of Naples 67 measured only two thousand three hundred and sixty three paces: 68 the fortifications were defended by precipices or the sea; when the aqueducts were intercepted, a supply of water might be drawn from wells and fountains; and the stock of provisions was sufficient to consume the patience of the besiegers. At the end of twenty days, that of Belisarius was almost exhausted, and he had reconciled himself to the disgrace of abandoning the siege, that he might march, before the winter season, against Rome and the Gothic king. But his anxiety was relieved by the bold curiosity of an Isaurian, who explored the dry channel of an aqueduct, and secretly reported, that a passage might be perforated to introduce a file of armed soldiers into the heart of the city. When the work had been silently executed, the humane general risked the discovery of his secret by a last and fruitless admonition of the impending danger. In the darkness of the night, four hundred Romans entered the aqueduct, raised themselves by a rope, which they fastened to an olive-tree, into the house or garden of a solitary matron, sounded their trumpets, surprised the sentinels, and gave admittance to their companions, who on all sides scaled the walls, and burst open the gates of the city. Every crime which is punished by social justice was practised as the rights of war; the Huns were distinguished by cruelty and sacrilege, and Belisarius alone appeared in the streets and churches of Naples to moderate the calamities which he predicted. "The gold and silver," he repeatedly exclaimed, "are the just rewards of your valor. But spare the inhabitants; they are Christians, they are suppliants, they are now your fellow-subjects. Restore the children to their parents, the wives to their husbands; and show them by you, generosity of what friends they have obstinately deprived themselves." The city was saved by the virtue and authority of its conqueror; 69 and when the Neapolitans returned to their houses, they found some consolation in the secret enjoyment of their hidden treasures. The Barbarian garrison enlisted in the service of the emperor; Apulia and Calabria, delivered from the odious presence of the Goths, acknowledged his dominion; and the tusks of the Calydonian boar, which were still shown at Beneventum, are curiously described by the historian of Belisarius. 70
The faithful soldiers and citizens of Naples had expected their deliverance from a prince, who remained the inactive and almost indifferent spectator of their ruin. Theodatus secured his person within the walls of Rome, whilst his cavalry advanced forty miles on the Appian way, and encamped in the Pomptine marshes; which, by a canal of nineteen miles in length, had been recently drained and converted into excellent pastures. 71 But the principal forces of the Goths were dispersed in Dalmatia, Venetia, and Gaul; and the feeble mind of their king was confounded by the unsuccessful event of a divination, which seemed to presage the downfall of his empire. 72 The most abject slaves have arraigned the guilt or weakness of an unfortunate master. The character of Theodatus was rigorously scrutinized by a free and idle camp of Barbarians, conscious of their privilege and power: he was declared unworthy of his race, his nation, and his throne; and their general Vitiges, whose valor had been signalized in the Illyrian war, was raised with unanimous applause on the bucklers of his companions. On the first rumor, the abdicated monarch fled from the justice of his country; but he was pursued by private revenge. A Goth, whom he had injured in his love, overtook Theodatus on the Flaminian way, and, regardless of his unmanly cries, slaughtered him, as he lay, prostrate on the ground, like a victim (says the historian) at the foot of the altar. The choice of the people is the best and purest title to reign over them; yet such is the prejudice of every age, that Vitiges impatiently wished to return to Ravenna, where he might seize, with the reluctant hand of the daughter of Amalasontha, some faint shadow of hereditary right. A national council was immediately held, and the new monarch reconciled the impatient spirit of the Barbarians to a measure of disgrace, which the misconduct of his predecessor rendered wise and indispensable. The Goths consented to retreat in the presence of a victorious enemy; to delay till the next spring the operations of offensive war; to summon their scattered forces; to relinquish their distant possessions, and to trust even Rome itself to the faith of its inhabitants. Leuderis, an ancient warrior, was left in the capital with four thousand soldiers; a feeble garrison, which might have seconded the zeal, though it was incapable of opposing the wishes, of the Romans. But a momentary enthusiasm of religion and patriotism was kindled in their minds. They furiously exclaimed, that the apostolic throne should no longer be profaned by the triumph or toleration of Arianism; that the tombs of the Caesars should no longer be trampled by the savages of the North; and, without reflecting, that Italy must sink into a province of Constantinople, they fondly hailed the restoration of a Roman emperor as a new aera of freedom and prosperity. The deputies of the pope and clergy, of the senate and people, invited the lieutenant of Justinian to accept their voluntary allegiance, and to enter the city, whose gates would be thrown open for his reception. As soon as Belisarius had fortified his new conquests, Naples and Cumae, he advanced about twenty miles to the banks of the Vulturnus, contemplated the decayed grandeur of Capua, and halted at the separation of the Latin and Appian ways. The work of the censor, after the incessant use of nine centuries, still preserved its primaeval beauty, and not a flaw could be discovered in the large polished stones, of which that solid, though narrow road, was so firmly compacted. 73 Belisarius, however, preferred the Latin way, which, at a distance from the sea and the marshes, skirted in a space of one hundred and twenty miles along the foot of the mountains. His enemies had disappeared: when he made his entrance through the Asinarian gate, the garrison departed without molestation along the Flaminian way; and the city, after sixty years' servitude, was delivered from the yoke of the Barbarians. Leuderis alone, from a motive of pride or discontent, refused to accompany the fugitives; and the Gothic chief, himself a trophy of the victory, was sent with the keys of Rome to the throne of the emperor Justinian. 74
The first days, which coincided with the old Saturnalia, were devoted to mutual congratulation and the public joy; and the Catholics prepared to celebrate, without a rival, the approaching festival of the nativity of Christ. In the familiar conversation of a hero, the Romans acquired some notion of the virtues which history ascribed to their ancestors; they were edified by the apparent respect of Belisarius for the successor of St. Peter, and his rigid discipline secured in the midst of war the blessings of tranquillity and justice. They applauded the rapid success of his arms, which overran the adjacent country, as far as Narni, Perusia, and Spoleto; but they trembled, the senate, the clergy, and the unwarlike people, as soon as they understood that he had resolved, and would speedily be reduced, to sustain a siege against the powers of the Gothic monarchy. The designs of Vitiges were executed, during the winter season, with diligence and effect. From their rustic habitations, from their distant garrisons, the Goths assembled at Ravenna for the defence of their country; and such were their numbers, that, after an army had been detached for the relief of Dalmatia, one hundred and fifty thousand fighting men marched under the royal standard. According to the degrees of rank or merit, the Gothic king distributed arms and horses, rich gifts, and liberal promises; he moved along the Flaminian way, declined the useless sieges of Perusia and Spoleto, respected he impregnable rock of Narni, and arrived within two miles of Rome at the foot of the Milvian bridge. The narrow passage was fortified with a tower, and Belisarius had computed the value of the twenty days which must be lost in the construction of another bridge. But the consternation of the soldiers of the tower, who either fled or deserted, disappointed his hopes, and betrayed his person into the most imminent danger. At the head of one thousand horse, the Roman general sallied from the Flaminian gate to mark the ground of an advantageous position, and to survey the camp of the Barbarians; but while he still believed them on the other side of the Tyber, he was suddenly encompassed and assaulted by their numerous squadrons. The fate of Italy depended on his life; and the deserters pointed to the conspicuous horse a bay, 75 with a white face, which he rode on that memorable day. "Aim at the bay horse," was the universal cry. Every bow was bent, every javelin was directed, against that fatal object, and the command was repeated and obeyed by thousands who were ignorant of its real motive. The bolder Barbarians advanced to the more honorable combat of swords and spears; and the praise of an enemy has graced the fall of Visandus, the standard-bearer, 76 who maintained his foremost station, till he was pierced with thirteen wounds, perhaps by the hand of Belisarius himself. The Roman general was strong, active, and dexterous; on every side he discharged his weighty and mortal strokes: his faithful guards imitated his valor, and defended his person; and the Goths, after the loss of a thousand men, fled before the arms of a hero. They were rashly pursued to their camp; and the Romans, oppressed by multitudes, made a gradual, and at length a precipitate retreat to the gates of the city: the gates were shut against the fugitives; and the public terror was increased, by the report that Belisarius was slain. His countenance was indeed disfigured by sweat, dust, and blood; his voice was hoarse, his strength was almost exhausted; but his unconquerable spirit still remained; he imparted that spirit to his desponding companions; and their last desperate charge was felt by the flying Barbarians, as if a new army, vigorous and entire, had been poured from the city. The Flaminian gate was thrown open to a real triumph; but it was not before Belisarius had visited every post, and provided for the public safety, that he could be persuaded, by his wife and friends, to taste the needful refreshments of food and sleep. In the more improved state of the art of war, a general is seldom required, or even permitted to display the personal prowess of a soldier; and the example of Belisarius may be added to the rare examples of Henry IV., of Pyrrhus, and of Alexander.
After this first and unsuccessful trial of their enemies, the whole army of the Goths passed the Tyber, and formed the siege of the city, which continued above a year, till their final departure. Whatever fancy may conceive, the severe compass of the geographer defines the circumference of Rome within a line of twelve miles and three hundred and forty-five paces; and that circumference, except in the Vatican, has invariably been the same from the triumph of Aurelian to the peaceful but obscure reign of the modern popes. 77 But in the day of her greatness, the space within her walls was crowded with habitations and inhabitants; and the populous suburbs, that stretched along the public roads, were darted like so many rays from one common centre. Adversity swept away these extraneous ornaments, and left naked and desolate a considerable part even of the seven hills. Yet Rome in its present state could send into the field about thirty thousand males of a military age; 78 and, notwithstanding the want of discipline and exercise, the far greater part, inured to the hardships of poverty, might be capable of bearing arms for the defence of their country and religion. The prudence of Belisarius did not neglect this important resource. His soldiers were relieved by the zeal and diligence of the people, who watched while they slept, and labored while they reposed: he accepted the voluntary service of the bravest and most indigent of the Roman youth; and the companies of townsmen sometimes represented, in a vacant post, the presence of the troops which had been drawn away to more essential duties. But his just confidence was placed in the veterans who had fought under his banner in the Persian and African wars; and although that gallant band was reduced to five thousand men, he undertook, with such contemptible numbers, to defend a circle of twelve miles, against an army of one hundred and fifty thousand Barbarians. In the walls of Rome, which Belisarius constructed or restored, the materials of ancient architecture may be discerned; 79 and the whole fortification was completed, except in a chasm still extant between the Pincian and Flaminian gates, which the prejudices of the Goths and Romans left under the effectual guard of St. Peter the apostle. 80
The battlements or bastions were shaped in sharp angles a ditch, broad and deep, protected the foot of the rampart; and the archers on the rampart were assisted by military engines; the balistri, a powerful cross-bow, which darted short but massy arrows; the onagri, or wild asses, which, on the principle of a sling, threw stones and bullets of an enormous size. 81 A chain was drawn across the Tyber; the arches of the aqueducts were made impervious, and the mole or sepulchre of Hadrian 82 was converted, for the first time, to the uses of a citadel. That venerable structure, which contained the ashes of the Antonines, was a circular turret rising from a quadrangular basis; it was covered with the white marble of Paros, and decorated by the statues of gods and heroes; and the lover of the arts must read with a sigh, that the works of Praxiteles or Lysippus were torn from their lofty pedestals, and hurled into the ditch on the heads of the besiegers. 83 To each of his lieutenants Belisarius assigned the defence of a gate, with the wise and peremptory instruction, that, whatever might be the alarm, they should steadily adhere to their respective posts, and trust their general for the safety of Rome. The formidable host of the Goths was insufficient to embrace the ample measure of the city, of the fourteen gates, seven only were invested from the Proenestine to the Flaminian way; and Vitiges divided his troops into six camps, each of which was fortified with a ditch and rampart. On the Tuscan side of the river, a seventh encampment was formed in the field or circus of the Vatican, for the important purpose of commanding the Milvian bridge and the course of the Tyber; but they approached with devotion the adjacent church of St. Peter; and the threshold of the holy apostles was respected during the siege by a Christian enemy. In the ages of victory, as often as the senate decreed some distant conquest, the consul denounced hostilities, by unbarring, in solemn pomp, the gates of the temple of Janus. 84 Domestic war now rendered the admonition superfluous, and the ceremony was superseded by the establishment of a new religion. But the brazen temple of Janus was left standing in the forum; of a size sufficient only to contain the statue of the god, five cubits in height, of a human form, but with two faces directed to the east and west. The double gates were likewise of brass; and a fruitless effort to turn them on their rusty hinges revealed the scandalous secret that some Romans were still attached to the superstition of their ancestors.
Eighteen days were employed by the besiegers, to provide all the instruments of attack which antiquity had invented. Fascines were prepared to fill the ditches, scaling-ladders to ascend the walls. The largest trees of the forest supplied the timbers of four battering-rams: their heads were armed with iron; they were suspended by ropes, and each of them was worked by the labor of fifty men. The lofty wooden turrets moved on wheels or rollers, and formed a spacious platform of the level of the rampart. On the morning of the nineteenth day, a general attack was made from the Praenestine gate to the Vatican: seven Gothic columns, with their military engines, advanced to the assault; and the Romans, who lined the ramparts, listened with doubt and anxiety to the cheerful assurances of their commander. As soon as the enemy approached the ditch, Belisarius himself drew the first arrow; and such was his strength and dexterity, that he transfixed the foremost of the Barbarian leaders.
As shout of applause and victory was reechoed along the wall. He drew a second arrow, and the stroke was followed with the same success and the same acclamation. The Roman general then gave the word, that the archers should aim at the teams of oxen; they were instantly covered with mortal wounds; the towers which they drew remained useless and immovable, and a single moment disconcerted the laborious projects of the king of the Goths. After this disappointment, Vitiges still continued, or feigned to continue, the assault of the Salarian gate, that he might divert the attention of his adversary, while his principal forces more strenuously attacked the Praenestine gate and the sepulchre of Hadrian, at the distance of three miles from each other. Near the former, the double walls of the Vivarium 85 were low or broken; the fortifications of the latter were feebly guarded: the vigor of the Goths was excited by the hope of victory and spoil; and if a single post had given way, the Romans, and Rome itself, were irrecoverably lost. This perilous day was the most glorious in the life of Belisarius. Amidst tumult and dismay, the whole plan of the attack and defence was distinctly present to his mind; he observed the changes of each instant, weighed every possible advantage, transported his person to the scenes of danger, and communicated his spirit in calm and decisive orders. The contest was fiercely maintained from the morning to the evening; the Goths were repulsed on all sides; and each Roman might boast that he had vanquished thirty Barbarians, if the strange disproportion of numbers were not counterbalanced by the merit of one man. Thirty thousand Goths, according to the confession of their own chiefs, perished in this bloody action; and the multitude of the wounded was equal to that of the slain. When they advanced to the assault, their close disorder suffered not a javelin to fall without effect; and as they retired, the populace of the city joined the pursuit, and slaughtered, with impunity, the backs of their flying enemies. Belisarius instantly sallied from the gates; and while the soldiers chanted his name and victory, the hostile engines of war were reduced to ashes. Such was the loss and consternation of the Goths, that, from this day, the siege of Rome degenerated into a tedious and indolent blockade; and they were incessantly harassed by the Roman general, who, in frequent skirmishes, destroyed above five thousand of their bravest troops. Their cavalry was unpractised in the use of the bow; their archers served on foot; and this divided force was incapable of contending with their adversaries, whose lances and arrows, at a distance, or at hand, were alike formidable. The consummate skill of Belisarius embraced the favorable opportunities; and as he chose the ground and the moment, as he pressed the charge or sounded the retreat, 86 the squadrons which he detached were seldom unsuccessful. These partial advantages diffused an impatient ardor among the soldiers and people, who began to feel the hardships of a siege, and to disregard the dangers of a general engagement. Each plebeian conceived himself to be a hero, and the infantry, who, since the decay of discipline, were rejected from the line of battle, aspired to the ancient honors of the Roman legion. Belisarius praised the spirit of his troops, condemned their presumption, yielded to their clamors, and prepared the remedies of a defeat, the possibility of which he alone had courage to suspect. In the quarter of the Vatican, the Romans prevailed; and if the irreparable moments had not been wasted in the pillage of the camp, they might have occupied the Milvian bridge, and charged in the rear of the Gothic host. On the other side of the Tyber, Belisarius advanced from the Pincian and Salarian gates. But his army, four thousand soldiers perhaps, was lost in a spacious plain; they were encompassed and oppressed by fresh multitudes, who continually relieved the broken ranks of the Barbarians. The valiant leaders of the infantry were unskilled to conquer; they died: the retreat (a hasty retreat) was covered by the prudence of the general, and the victors started back with affright from the formidable aspect of an armed rampart. The reputation of Belisarius was unsullied by a defeat; and the vain confidence of the Goths was not less serviceable to his designs than the repentance and modesty of the Roman troops.
60 The ancient Alba was ruined in the first age of Rome. On the same spot, or at least in the neighborhood, successively arose. 1. The villa of Pompey, &c.;
2. A camp of the Praetorian cohorts;
3. The modern episcopal city of Albanum or Albano.

61 A Sibylline oracle was ready to pronounce - Africa capta munitus cum nato peribit; a sentence of portentous ambiguity, (Gothic. l. i. c. 7,) which has been published in unknown characters by Opsopaeus, an editor of the oracles. The Pere Maltret has promised a commentary; but all his promises have been vain and fruitless.
62 In his chronology, imitated, in some degree, from Thucydides, Procopius begins each spring the years of Justinian and of the Gothic war; and his first aera coincides with the first of April, 535, and not 536, according to the Annals of Baronius, (Pagi, Crit. tom. ii. p. 555, who is followed by Muratori and the editors of Sigonius.) Yet, in some passages, we are at a loss to reconcile the dates of Procopius with himself, and with the Chronicle of Marcellinus.
63 The series of the first Gothic war is represented by Procopius (l. i. c. 5 - 29, l. ii. c. l - 30, l. iii. c. l) till the captivity of Vitigas. With the aid of Sigonius (Opp. tom. i. de Imp. Occident. l. xvii. xviii.) and Muratori, (Annali d'Itaia, tom. v.,) I have gleaned some few additional facts.
64 Jornandes, de Rebus Geticis, c. 60, p. 702, edit. Grot., and tom. i. p. 221. Muratori, de Success, Regn. p. 241.
65 Nero (says Tacitus, Annal. xv. 35) Neapolim quasi Graecam urbem delegit. One hundred and fifty years afterwards, in the time of Septimius Severus, the Hellenism of the Neapolitans is praised by Philostratus. (Icon. l. i. p. 763, edit. Olear.)
66 The otium of Naples is praised by the Roman poets, by Virgil, Horace, Silius Italicus, and Statius, (Cluver. Ital. Ant. l. iv. p. 1149, 1150.) In an elegant epistles, (Sylv. l. iii. 5, p. 94 - 98, edit. Markland,) Statius undertakes the difficult task of drawing his wife from the pleasures of Rome to that calm retreat.
67 This measure was taken by Roger l., after the conquest of Naples, (A.D. 1139,) which he made the capital of his new kingdom, (Giannone, Istoria Civile, tom. ii. p. 169.) That city, the third in Christian Europe, is now at least twelve miles in circumference, (Jul. Caesar. Capaccii Hist. Neapol. l. i. p. 47,) and contains more inhabitants (350,000) in a given space, than any other spot in the known world.
68 Not geometrical, but common, paces or steps, of 22 French inches, (D' Anville, Mesures Itineraires, p. 7, 8.) The 2363 do not take an English mile.
69 Belisarius was reproved by Pope Silverius for the massacre. He repeopled Naples, and imported colonies of African captives into Sicily, Calabria, and Apulia, (Hist. Miscell. l. xvi. in Muratori, tom. i. p. 106, 107.)
70 Beneventum was built by Diomede, the nephew of Meleager (Cluver. tom. ii. p. 1195, 1196.) The Calydonian hunt is a picture of savage life, (Ovid, Metamorph. l. viii.) Thirty or forty heroes were leagued against a hog: the brutes (not the hog) quarrelled with lady for the head.
71 The Decennovium is strangely confounded by Cluverius (tom. ii. p. 1007) with the River Ufens. It was in truth a canal of nineteen miles, from Forum Appii to Terracina, on which Horace embarked in the night. The Decennovium, which is mentioned by Lucan, Dion Cassius, and Cassiodorus, has been sufficiently ruined, restored, and obliterated, (D'Anville, Anayse de l'Italie, p. 185, &c.)
72 A Jew, gratified his contempt and hatred for all the Christians, by enclosing three bands, each of ten hogs, and discriminated by the names of Goths, Greeks, and Romans. Of the first, almost all were found dead; almost all the second were alive: of the third, half died, and the rest lost their bristles. No unsuitable emblem of the event
73 Bergier (Hist. des Grands Chemins des Romains, tom. i. p. 221 - 228, 440 - 444) examines the structure and materials, while D'Anville (Analyse d'Italie, p. 200 - 123) defines the geographical line.
74 Of the first recovery of Rome, the year (536) is certain, from the series of events, rather than from the corrupt, or interpolated, text of Procopius. The month (December) is ascertained by Evagrius, (l. iv. v. 19;) and the day (the tenth) may be admitted on the slight evidence of Nicephorus Callistus, (l. xvii. c. 13.) For this accurate chronology, we are indebted to the diligence and judgment of Pagi, (tom, ii. p. 659, 560.) Note: Compare Maltret's note, in the edition of Dindorf the ninth is the day, according to his reading, - M.
75 A horse of a bay or red color was styled by the Greeks, balan by the Barbarians, and spadix by the Romans. Honesti spadices, says Virgil, (Georgic. l. iii. 72, with the Observations of Martin and Heyne.) It signifies a branch of the palm-tree, whose name is synonymous to red, (Aulus Gellius, ii. 26.)
76 I interpret it, not as a proper, name, but an office, standard-bearer, from bandum, (vexillum,) a Barbaric word adopted by the Greeks and Romans, (Paul Diacon. l. i. c. 20, p. 760. Grot. Nomina Hethica, p. 575. Ducange, Gloss. Latin. tom. i. p. 539, 540.)
77 M. D'Anville has given, in the Memoirs of the Academy for the year 1756, (tom. xxx. p. 198 - 236,) a plan of Rome on a smaller scale, but far more accurate than that which he had delineated in 1738 for Rollin's history. Experience had improved his knowledge and instead of Rossi's topography, he used the new and excellent map of Nolli. Pliny's old measure of thirteen must be reduced to eight miles. It is easier to alter a text, than to remove hills or buildings.
Note: Compare Gibbon, ch. xi. note 43, and xxxi. 67, and ch. lxxi. "It is quite clear," observes Sir J. Hobhouse, "that all these measurements differ, (in the first and second it is 21, in the text 12 and 345 paces, in the last 10,) yet it is equally clear that the historian avers that they are all the same." The present extent, 12 3/4 nearly agrees with the second statement of Gibbon. Sir. J. Hobhouse also observes that the walls were enlarged by Constantine; but there can be no doubt that the circuit has been much changed. Illust. of Ch. Harold, p. 180. - M.
78 In the year 1709, Labat (Voyages en Italie, tom. iii. p. 218) reckoned 138,568 Christian souls, besides 8000 or 10,000 Jews - without souls? In the year 1763, the numbers exceeded 160,000.
79 The accurate eye of Nardini (Roma Antica, l. i. c. viii. p. 31) could distinguish the tumultuarie opere di Belisario.
80 The fissure and leaning in the upper part of the wall, which Procopius observed, (Goth. l. i. c. 13,) is visible to the present hour, (Douat. Roma Vetus, l. i. c. 17, p. 53, 54.)
81 Lipsius (Opp. tom. iii. Poliorcet, l. iii.) was ignorant of this clear and conspicuous passage of Procopius, (Goth. l. i. c. 21.) The engine was named the wild ass, a calcitrando, (Hen. Steph. Thesaur. Linguae Graec. tom. ii. p. 1340, 1341, tom. iii. p. 877.) I have seen an ingenious model, contrived and executed by General Melville, which imitates or surpasses the art of antiquity.
82 The description of this mausoleum, or mole, in Procopius, (l. i. c. 25.) is the first and best. The height above the walls. On Nolli's great plan, the sides measure 260 English feet.
Note: Donatus and Nardini suppose that Hadrian's tomb was fortified by Honorius; it was united to the wall by men of old, (Procop in loc.) Gibbon has mistaken the breadth for the height above the walls Hobhouse, Illust. of Childe Harold, p. 302. - M.
83 Praxiteles excelled in Fauns, and that of Athens was his own masterpiece. Rome now contains about thirty of the same character. When the ditch of St. Angelo was cleansed under Urban VIII., the workmen found the sleeping Faun of the Barberini palace; but a leg, a thigh, and the right arm, had been broken from that beautiful statue, (Winkelman, Hist. de l'Art, tom. ii. p. 52, 53, tom iii. p. 265.)
84 Procopius has given the best description of the temple of Janus a national deity of Latium, (Heyne, Excurs. v. ad l. vii. Aeneid.) It was once a gate in the primitive city of Romulus and Numa, (Nardini, p. 13, 256, 329.) Virgil has described the ancient rite like a poet and an antiquarian.
85 Vivarium was an angle in the new wall enclosed for wild beasts, (Procopius, Goth. l. i. c. 23.) The spot is still visible in Nardini (l iv. c. 2, p. 159, 160,) and Nolli's great plan of Rome.
86 For the Roman trumpet, and its various notes, consult Lipsius de Militia Romana, (Opp. tom. iii. l. iv. Dialog. x. p. 125-129.) A mode of distinguishing the charge by the horse-trumpet of solid brass, and the retreat by the foot-trumpet of leather and light wood, was recommended by Procopius, and adopted by Belisarius.


text: On safari: South Africa hunts deals in CEE and SEE Share this 28 NOV 2016 By: The real estate community was abuzz in March 2016 when South Africa's Redefine Properties acquired a 75 per cent stake in Poland's Echo Prime Properties' 18-asset portfolio, a deal valued at EUR 1.2 billion. This marked the largest offshore purchase to date by a South African property company and moreover, the largest transaction in the history of the Polish real estate market. That was just the beginning. This year has seen a breathtaking volume of property acquisitions and investments in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and South Eastern Europe (SEE) by South African investors. South Africa's New Europe Property Investments (NEPI) has been active in Romania since 2008, but this year expanded to Slovakia and the Czech Republic with several retail property acquisitions. As well, South Africa's Pivotal Property Fund and Rockcastle Global Real Estate have invested in Poland; Tower Property Fund has invested in both Poland and Croatia; Atterbury Europe has invested in Serbia; and JSE-listed REIT, Hyprop Investments has co-invested in shopping malls in Serbia and Montenegro, which investment at EUR 202 million is the largest single asset deal in SEE in the last five years. In July 2016, Greenbay Properties acquired the Planet Tus Shopping Centre in Slovenia and in October 2016, Accelerate Property Fund announced its intended November 2016 acquisition of the OBI "DIY" retailer's real estate portfolio in Austria and Slovakia. As we approach the end of 2016, it is clear that South Africa has become a meaningful player in CEE and SEE. CEE and SEE property markets have long been supported by foreign investment. In the years 2011–15, Western Europe and the United States invested EUR 16.4 billion into the CEE and SEE region. Investment in CEE and SEE from Western Europe was predictable, given their respective geographies and economies (during this period annual growth in Poland averaged 3.9 per cent as opposed to an average of 0.9 per cent in the Eurozone). In addition, given their respective histories, CEE and SEE regional investment was predictable from Russia. Even Israel and China have shown interest in CEE and SEE investment, although on a more selective basis and to some extent, as a gateway to Western European investment. But South Africa's investors have traditionally preferfred domestic property markets. Only this year, Vukile Property Fund ventured out of South Africa with its investment in the British Atlantic Leaf Properties which focuses on the United Kingdom. So what is it that is enticing South African investors to hunt for deals in the CEE and SEE property markets? There appears to be a confluence of two integrated economic factors. South Africa is experiencing a rising interest rate cycle. The cost of five-year debt in South Africa exceeds 9 per cent. Simultaneously, South Africa is experiencing a softening real estate market. Average yields on prime properties in South Africa are below 7 per cent. Thus, South Africa is beset by expensive capital/ lack of liquidity and low yield. In contrast, aggressive post-financial crisis quantitative easing schemes in the United Kingdom and the Eurozone have reduced the average debt cost to 3 per cent and under, while average prime property yields have exceeded 6 per cent. CEE and SEE investment offers South African investors low cost capital/liquidity and yield. Added to these two economic factors is a particularly significant risk/reward factor that makes CEE and SEE particularly attractive to South African investors. They have a decidedly different perspective to that of other investors on CEE and SEE political and legal risk. From South Africa, CEE and SEE may be viewed as a political and legal, as well as economic, investment safe haven. To conclude, South Africa is a welcome source of foreign investment in CEE and SEE as we enter 2017. DLA Piper will continue to update you on legal and commercial developments in CEE and SEE.

ITHACA, N.Y. – Junior John Babin (Warwick/Warwick Valley) caught two touchdown passes, including a go-ahead 41-yard reception with one minute, eight seconds remaining, as Cortland rallied to defeat nationally 20th-ranked Ithaca, 28-24, in the 55th Annual Cortaca Jug game.
The Red Dragons won the Jug for the fourth straight year. The last time Cortland defeated Ithaca four consecutive times was during a five-year streak from 1955-59, with the last of those five wins for the inaugural Cortaca Jug.
Cortland finishes the regular season with a 6-4 record and will await a possible ECAC bowl game berth. Ithaca (8-2) is the Empire 8 champion and will play in an NCAA tournament first-round game next week.
Babin finished with eight catches for 174 yards. He is now Cortland's career leader with 2,382 receiving yards, and his 72 catches this season match his own school single-season record set in 2011. Babin caught a 63-yard TD pass early in the third quarter to put Cortland ahead 21-14. Ithaca scored the next 10 points, however, and Cortland eventually started its final drive on its own 25-yard line with 2:28 remaining. Junior quarterback Tyler Hughes (Sranton, PA/West Scranton) ran for eight yards, threw a 7-yard pass to Babin, then rushed for another eight yards. Sophomore Dylan Peebles (Port Leyden/South Lewis) followed with an 11-yard rush to the Ithaca 41-yard line. On the next play, Hughes lofted a pass deep down the left sideline. Babin out-leapt a defender, caught the ball and ran in for the score to put Cortland ahead.
Ithaca drove into Cortland territory on its final drive. With less than 40 seconds left, Tom Dempsey completed a pass to Vito Boffoli. He ran to the 41-yard line, but was hit by Tom Hagan (Hopewell Junction/John Jay-East Fishkill) and fumbled. Cortland recovered at its 38-yard line and took a knee three times to run out the clock.
Cortland led 7-0 in the first quarter on a Peebles 6-yard TD run that capped a 9-play, 81-yard scoring drive. Early in the second quarter, Ithaca had to punt from its own 6-yard line, but Cortland fumbled the punt and the Bombers recovered at the Cortland 37-yard line. On the next play, Boffoli took a handoff from Dempsey on a slot end around, then passed to Joel Lynch for a 37-yard TD pass to knot the game at 7-7.
Midway through the second, Cortland mounted a 62-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 12-yard pass from Hughes to freshman Joel Nunez (Bay Shore) to put the Red Dragons up 14-7. Ithaca started its ensuing drive on its own 25-yard line and marched down the field on a 16-play, 75-yard TD drive to tie the game. Dempsey capped the drive with a 3-yard TD pass to Boffoli on 3rd-and-goal with 16 seconds left in the half.
Cortland lost the ball on a fumble on its next play from scrimmage, giving Ithaca a shot at a Hail Mary with two seconds remaining, and the Bombers' Lynch almost made a leaping catch in the end zone but lost the ball as he hit the ground.
Cortland scored on the 63-yard connection from Hughes to Babin 1:13 into the third quarter to take the lead. Ithaca drove to the Cortland 8-yard line on its next possession, but the drive eventually ended with an Andrew Tolosi (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury) interception in the end zone. The Bombers, however, forced a quick 3-and-out and started their next drive on their own 44-yard line. Evan Skea broke a 45-yard run on the first play of the drive, and three plays later Dempsey found Lynch on a 6-yard TD pass to tie the game at 21-21.
Early in the fourth quarter, Ithaca punted from its own 37-yard line but recovered the ball at the Cortland 20-yard line after the punt was fumbled. The Red Dragons limited the Bombers to five yards over the next three plays and Garrett Nicholson made a 32-yard field goal with 9:24 left to give Ithaca its first lead of the day at 24-21.
The Bombers seemed poised to add to their lead when Sam Carney returned a punt 44 yards to the Cortland 23-yard line with 7:43 left. However, Matt Ambrose (Wyckoff, NJ/Ramapo) forced a fumble on the next play that Hagan recovered. The teams traded punts before Cortland mounted its winning drive.
Hughes finished 16-of-24 passing for 251 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions and rushed 10 times for 59 yards. Peebles also had 10 carries for 59 yards and scored once. Ambrose led the Red Dragons with a career-high 15 tackles and added a forced fumble and pass breakup. Troy Beddoe (Endicott/Union-Endicott) and Hagan each made nine tackles. Beddoe and Gabe Ostrow (Nanuet) each registered 1.5 of Cortland's four sacks.
Cortland outgained Ithaca in total offense, 379-350, despite the Bombers holding a significant advantage in time of possession, 37:51 to 22:09. Dempsey completed 23-of-34 passes for 216 yards and Skea ran 25 times for 110 yards. Jared Prugar made seven catches for 79 yards, while Boffoli and Chris Bauer each finished with five catches.
On defense, Ithaca was led by Marc Recio's seven tackles and Mike Sheldon's six tackles, including two sacks, and two forced fumbles.
John Babin has now caught at least one TD pass in eight straight games and 17 of his last 18 contests; the only game in the last 18 in which he did not catch a TD pass was at home versus William Paterson on Sept. 21...Babin extended his school career record for TD catches to 30 in 26 games played...Babin's 1,174 receiving yards this season are nine short of his school-record 1,183 yards in 2011, and his 145 career catches rank third in school history...Ithaca has won 34 of the 55 Cortaca Jug games, but Cortland is now 16-11 in Jug games decided by eight points or less. Thirteen of the last 17 Cortaca Jug games have been decided by eight points or less, with Cortland victorious in nine of those contests.

Media Statement
firstname.lastname@example.com 2013-08-09
"Three standards development organizations (SDOs), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), ASTM International (ASTM), and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) have filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Public.Resource.org (Public Resource) to stop a massive copyright infringement, to ensure that the development of codes and standards in the United States is done at the highest levels of excellence and to protect public health and safety. For more than a century, both the private-sector as well as government entities have relied on mission-driven, self-sustaining, independent, not-for-profit SDOs to develop 'voluntary consensus standards.' These standards include a wide variety of highly technical works, from product specifications and installation methods to safety codes and standards. They address a wide range of health and safety subjects, and they serve the needs of a rapidly evolving and innovative modern economy. The SDOs underwrite the substantial costs of developing standards, in whole or in significant part, by relying on revenues from the sales and licensing of their copyrighted standards. This funding model allows SDOs to remain independent of special interests and to develop up-to-date, high quality standards. Public Resource has been copying and uploading copyrighted standards developed by private sector SDOs. Public Resource is well aware that it is doing this without the copyright owners' authorization. The lawsuit does not seek monetary damages from Public Resource or its founder. It seeks simply to stop the illegal posting of copyright protected materials. Public Resource offers no effective alternative, but only seeks to undermine and destroy a funding model that works and that sustains a public/private partnership that has served the public interest so well. SDOs already work with governments and provide free access to many standards on the Internet. SDOs develop standards through balanced, open and democratic processes that bring together technical experts and professionals, government officials, business representatives, consumer interests and many other relevant stakeholders. This process keeps the U.S safe and strong, but cannot be supported without copyright protections."

Tokyo, Japan, November 2, 2010 - Hosts Japan remained undefeated in the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship after a straight-sets win (25-9, 25-13, 25-8) over Costa Rica in Pool A on Tuesday. Costa Rica (1-3) now face a must-win match against Peru on Wednesday to see who finishes fourth in the pool to advance to the second round.Leading the way for Japan was star spiker Saori Kimura who put 17 points on the board, each one delighting the home-town crowd. Kaori Inoue played a supporting role with 10. Costa Rica's scorers just couldn't get anything rolling on the day, Verania Willis posting her team's best effort with five.
FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official page
Japan roared into the match, scoring 11 of the first 12 points capped by a pair of aces by Saori. She went on to score six points in the opener as Japan dominated the Costa Ricans, barely giving an inch the entire set. It was Saori Sakoda, who scored five points in the first set, who drove a winner home past a diving Mariela Quesada Sequeira to put Japan one set up, 25-9.Japan kept it going in the second, a powerful spike by Sakoda practically knocking over a Costa Rican defender to make it 9-5. Yukiko Ebata contributed a pair and everything was going Japan's way near the end with the diminutive Yoshie Takeshita (1.59m) climbing for an astonishing block at the net for a point to help close out the set, 25-13.In the third, solid attacking from Mai Yamaguchi and serving from Inoue gave Japan an early edge. Saori spiked past Paola Ramirez Vargas's would-be block to score, and Ebata Yukiko followed that with an ace to put Japan 11-5 ahead. This was part of another run of 11 out of 12 points that made it 18-6 for the home team. Japan cruised from there, taking the set 25-13, almost inevitably on an attack from Saori.

My favorite high school/non-Brandeis athletic moment is:
Representing Team USA at the 2009 Maccabiah Games in Israel was a life changing experience. Being able to compete on an international stage increases the importance of your race. You are representing an entire country and they are counting on you to to show the rest of the world that the United States means business.
After graduation, I want to:
Go to medical school. I've been saying for awhile that I'm interested in surgery and that's still the case.
My favorite movie of all time is, because:
The Dark Knight Trilogy (Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises). There's great acting, great story, thought provoking villains, and it's fun to impersonate Christian Bale's Batman voice.
My favorite pro or college athlete is, because:
It sounds generic, but I will have to say Michael Phelps. What he accomplished was incredible and will always inspire me. My favorite college athlete would have to be Kevin Cordes, the DI and American record holder in the 100 and 200 breastroke, from the University of Arizona. My race is also breastroke and one of my goals is to become fast enough to race against him.

A World War II bomber jacket missing for 60 years was returned to its rightful owner after a military buff said he found it at a Washington thrift store.
John Dodds, a self-described military buff and retired member of the Air Force reserve, said he was shopping at a Goodwill store when his daughter called him over to view a leather jacket she found.
The jacket was a little stiff but was in good shape and had a name -- Robert G. Arand -- on a leather nametag sewn on the front, Stars and Stripes reported Saturday.
Dodd said he paid $17 for the jacket and initially wanted to keep it, but knew he needed to find out its story.
Within 24 hours he was on the phone with 90-year-old Arand -- a former member of the Air Forces' 22nd Bombardment Group -- who told him the last time he wore the jacket was in November 1945 in San Francisco when he returned home from the war.
Arand said he thinks his wife donated it to a charity organization in Cincinnati in 1950.
"I remember my wife asking if I was ever going to wear it again, and I said I didn't think I would, except for a veterans' parade," he said.
Dodd said he's returning the jacket to its rightful owner.
"My children and grandchildren are anxious to see it," Arand said.

Uber Urban, Uber Cool – the Upcoming SUV Land Rover Landy
The year 2013 was brilliant for Land Rover. Yes, in every aspect you can think about. The company was lauded globally, its creations appreciated and sold like hot cakes. It seemed, people just couldn't have enough of its creations! There was a wave of excitement among takers of Land Rover vehicles. While there were many who were fortunate enough to own some of the coveted creations by the company, there were others who could only afford to drool over them. Either way, the popularity of the brand skyrocketed in the past year and from what we can understand, it is about to shoot way, way up, thanks to Landy, the upcoming Land Rover SUV!
This is what we know so far! So, it was overall a hit show, across the world, mainly in Asian country of China. However, the company has decided to gear up and expand beyond the nextgen features that so many other contenders are offering. It is really very wise of the brand to foresee the expectations of the motor world and be prepared to strike at the right time, in the right manner. In the company's drive to explore next level technology, we are going to get the urban delight – the upcoming Land Rover Landy. It is also said that the company is now going to dedicate more efforts on developing a hybrid Range Rover as well as an electric variant Land Rover Defender. These are the company's obvious efforts to take on the many offerings in the market. Who could contest that nobel thought! After all, the motor world is abuzz with a lot of new stories every day. With the crack of every dawn there is a new technology staring us in the eye, it makes sense if the company is smart enough to strategize well in time, and be ready with inspiring innovations. Landy seems to be just one of the many beauties lined up from the company. We are sure there are many more swanky machines to come our way, in the coming years. For now, we stay hooked on to what the company is calling its 'Urban SUV'!
If rumours are to be believed, and well, we will actually pay heed to them, for they turn out to be true, then the upcoming Land Rover Landy is going to be set against Evoque. It is going to get its style and aura from DC100 concept which seems promising, already. As for the quirky yet simple name, the company has decided to get it trademarked. News has it that they have applied for it, already! Once everything falls in place, the name is likely to be used for not just the vehicle but its accessories and dealership franchisee, too! Seems like Landy is truly going to paint the world in its colors, and literally so! This one is sure to give tough competition to Jeepster and Audi Q1. Quite understandably, we are having a tough time waiting for it to be launched.

The recent commentary by representatives of Senior Scientists and Policymakers for the Bay regarding poultry waste regulations was wrong in many ways ("No more half-measures," June 18).
They are correct that more people and their pollution will stress our environment. More people will reverse the progress that agriculture is making. TheU.S. Environmental Protection Agencyreports that agriculture has made tremendous progress in reducing nutrient contributions to the Chesapeake Bay. Urban and suburban sectors are getting worse.
They are wrong to describe agriculture's programs as a "voluntary, collaborative approach." They imply that there are no Maryland rules for the proper use of animal manures and fertilizers, but they know better. Maryland's 1998 law created far-reaching requirements for farmers — among America's most restrictive. Ask any farmer. They are not "mostly voluntary" as claimed.
Some area states do not have a strong program like Maryland, but this group wants readers to think that Maryland has a weak program. The facts don't support that allegation.
They mistakenly claim that agriculture lags behind other sectors in reducing pollution. Throughout the watershed, agriculture has reached about half of its 2010 pollution reduction goal. Not good enough, we agree. But the urban/suburban sectors went backward. Whose record is better, agriculture achieving nearly 50 percent of the goal or urban/suburban going backward by 90 percent?
They mention progress being made by sewage treatment plants, but they fail to mention the volume of human waste that escapes through leaking pipes before reaching the plants. They fail to mention the 1.4 billion gallons of escaped wastewater reported to the state last year.
They call for chicken manure to have the same "disposal" rules as human sewage. Chicken manure does not contain the toxins, household cleaning products, unused medications, man-made steroids, reproductive hormones, oil and grease and other products often disposed of through sinks or toilets. No wonder human waste needs more treatment.
Farmers are making improvements, and the Chesapeake Bay is benefiting. On-the-farm pollution prevention practices installed today might not show benefits for several years, but they will eventually. The current course of action is working. Let's not drive already heavily regulated farms out of business. Without farms, water quality would be even worse.

The U.S. Census Bureau yesterday released five data products that show many facets of educational attainment across the nation and present statistics on the levels of education achieved by various demographic characteristics. In March 2011, for the first time ever, more than 30 percent of U.S. adults 25 and older had at least a bachelor's degree, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. As recently as 1998, fewer than one-quarter of people this age had this level of education. In addition, more than one-third (20 million) of the nation's 56 million bachelor's degree holders held their degree in the broad field of science and engineering, including 4 million each in the social sciences and engineering and 3 million in biological, agricultural and environmental sciences.
This information comes from Educational Attainment in the United States: 2011, a collection of national-level tables from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC). Historical tables go back to the late 1940s, when the CPS first began collecting data on attainment.
"This is an important milestone in our history," Census Bureau Director Robert Groves said. "For many people, education is a sure path to a prosperous life. The more education people have the more likely they are to have a job and earn more money, particularly for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree."
From 2001 to 2011, the number of Hispanics with a bachelor's or higher education increased 80 percent from 2.1 million to 3.8 million. The percentage of Hispanics with a bachelor's or higher education increased from 11.1 percent in 2001 to 14.1 percent in 2011. Overall, the increase in the proportion of the population with a bachelor's degree or higher went from 26.2 percent to 30.4 percent. Release

King's School of Impersonation is a still-active location that was created to teach people how to impersonate Elvis Presley. It is now the "World Headquarters" of the Kings, a gang active in Freeside. The King, king of all King impersonators, rules the roost around this location. This is also where you may find and recruit Rex after progressing in the quest G.I. Blues for The King.
There are three stories in the building and many rooms.
The Kings' beds can be slept in; the queen-sized beds on the third floor grant the Well Rested effect. In one of the rooms, you can see cups and balls set up as if to play beer pong.
There is a locked door that can only be opened with The King's key. The key can only be stolen from The King, and the door just leads to a hallway you can get to anytime by going around.
Some of the chalkboards can be quite humorous, with messages such as "Step 1: Shake Hips, Step 2: Say 'Uh Huh.'"
Notable lootEdit
- On the 3rd floor, there is a room filled with Kings outfits available to steal, 32 to be exact, and there are also three Jailhouse Rockers.
- Figaro, a unique straight razor, held by Sergio.
- Viva Las Vegas is the outfit worn by The King.
- Four golf balls can be found in a room on the second floor along with a 9-iron.
Related questsEdit
- Pacer will initially charge you 50 or 500 caps to speak to The King (5 caps can be offered, but Pacer won't accept), unless you talk him into waiving it (Speech 60). The King will reimburse you if you ask him.
- If you prove your worth by completing quests for The King, he will grant you a favor in gratitude. This favor can be traded one time for 1000 caps, entrance to the strip (via a fake passport available from Mick & Ralph), membership of the Kings gang, or a peaceful outcome in the quest the Kings' Gambit.
- Members of the kings are able to change their hairstyle with Sergio, the King's barber, free of charge. They also receive a kings gang outfit.
- If you have reached a Reputation of Liked with the people of Freeside, every time you enter through a Freeside gate, one of The King's gang members will run up to you to give you a gift from the King himself (usually a small token, such as stimpaks, bottle caps, or consumables). However, during this encounter or shortly before, a fight will often erupt between the King's gang member and a Freeside thug (or two), and you may have to help kill the thug(s), or the King's gang member will die before this token of appreciation is bestowed.
King's School of Impersonation appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
- PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 When playing as a female character random members of the Kings will occasionally say the usual "Ever heard of personal space guy?" but if subtitles are turned on they will read "Ever heard of personal space lady?", other times the gang members will say "lady."[verified]
- PC Playstation 3 Activating the jukebox in the King's room will cause you to gain Freeside infamy, but strangely enough you won't be attacked if witnessed.[verified]

(visited by Chris Bishop and Lisbet Lonvig)
02-May-2004 -- Wanting a change from Geocaching, we went Confluencing again.
Followed southern side of Logue Brook dam, which was almost dry. Deviated east on a gravel track. Parked about 400 metres from the point to enjoy the walk. Pleasant weather and pleasant surroundings meant a pleasant walk. Took "Little George" Geocache travel bug with us, so he could experience confluencing!
Site easy to find being 42 metres north of track in open Marri/Jarrah woodland.
Thought we'd try and find poor Trevor Johnson's AUS84 location. Now we know why it was difficult! The AUS84 spot is 190 metres from the WGS84 point, on a 40 degree bearing AND you have to crash through thick gully vegetation.
PS- We took the required photos (ie as per rules), as did Trevor, but note on other "successful" finds, that the photos aren't exactly as per the rules!
Coordinator's Note: Photo requirements changed in August 2003. Successful visits prior to the change retain their status.

Danks is done for the year after shoulder surgery earlier this month, but he'll stay busy by dealing with one of the stranger lawsuits we've seen in a while.
Back in 2010, Danks had the Papst brothers, quite a pair of characters, over to his Cook County (Ill.) home. Blake Papst was standing on some sort of structure above Danks's roof deck, when Waylon Papst gave him a shove. Blake fell 10 feet to the deck and, according to the lawsuit, suffered a spinal cord injury and was unable to move.
Danks, the suit alleges, didn't call 911, took away Blake Papst's cell phone so he couldn't call 911, and moved the injured man to another room, which you're totally not supposed to do. Blake Papst is suing his own brother for pushing him, and Danks for negligence. Papst v. Papst et al. will be taught in law schools for centuries.

Hi all,
I haven't used onboard USB on my A1XE for many, many years, since I added a USB2 card.
Now, my PS2 mouse is looking very sad, and I'm thinking of replacing it. As PS2 mice are rare - and multi-button PS2 mice even rarer - I've got a USB mouse.
The onboard USB would be the obvious place to plug it in, but I've discovered that no USB devices plugged into the rear are recongnised! Tried my new mouse and some USB sticks, but nothing.
It's getting power (the mouse and one of my sticks have LEDs, and they come on), but AmigaOS isn't recognising anything plugged in.
Rear ports are enable in UBoot.
Nothing's commented out in Kicklayout.
(I bought this machine second hand; the previous user has the front ports deactivated in uboot, and I have since rewired the case to my PCI card's internal USB header.)
Anyone have any ideas on what might be amiss? It's not huge, I'm not missing anything I haven't used in years, I can always use my USB2 connectors, but it's a baffling mystery

PITTSBURGH, April 18 (UPI) -- Evan Gattis put Atlanta in front to stay in the eighth inning Thursday with the last of its four homers, powering the Braves to a 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.
All of the Atlanta runs scored on long balls, allowing the Braves to bounce back from a setback on Wednesday against Kansas City that ended a 10-game winning streak.
B.J. Upton hit a solo shot in the first, Chris Johnson delivered a two-run blow in the third and Justin Upton hit a solo homer in the fifth.
The game was still tied at 4-4, however, when Gattis came through with a one-out blast in the eighth that delivered Andrelton Simmons in front of him.
Russell Martin and Pedro Alvarez also hit solo homers for the Pirates.
Anthony Varvaro (1-0) picked up the win with two innings of relief. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his seventh save.
The homer by Gattis came off Jared Hughes (1-1), who worked 1 1/3 innings.
