Slavery in North Carolina
North Carolina, like other Southern states, relied on slavery to build its economy during the 18th and 19th centuries. Slaves across the state raised crops, did domestic chores, constructed new buildings, sailed ships, and performed countless other jobs, all for no pay. The slave trade separated many families, and punishment and violence were all too common.

examines the role of these two passes in ensuring that the Southwest would become and remain part of the U.S. Learn about traders and armies that depended on the passes, which were part of the Santa Fe Trail, as the best way to get through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The Santa Fe Trail was a key trade route until the railroad reached Santa Fe in 1880. Like the trail, the railroad and later highways ran through the two passes.
This course covers three sets of topics. The first part will cover business cycle models with imperfect information. We will ask questions such as:
What shocks drive business cycles?
What is the relative role of shocks to fundamentals and shocks affecting expectations about (current and future) economic developments?
How do informational frictions affect the shape of the responses to various shocks?
The second part will cover models of investment with credit constraints. We will ask questions

News Conference Regarding In-State Tuition for Children of Undocumented Immigrants.
Clearwater, FL. — On Wednesday, February 26th, Senator Jack Latvala (R-Clearwater) and Representative Ed Hooper (R-Clearwater) held a news conference to address the issue of providing in-state tuition for children of undocumented immigrants.
The news conference will took place at 11:00AM in the main auditorium of St. Petersburg College's Clearwater campus.

This talk introduces briefly the Avkat Archaeological Survey, a collaborative research project in north-central Anatolia which seeks to integrate a number of different approaches to studying the past, using recent technological advances to integrate disparate datasets into a cohesive framework of analysis. From the 1980s, there has been continued development of methodologies of archaeological field survey, as well as remote sensing techniques ranging from ground-penetrating radar to airborne rad

Four years ago Dr. Wang devised a statistical approach to analyze state polls to get a single, easy-to-understand snapshot of the race, viewed from the point of view of the Electoral College. In 2008, this approach mad

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: Everyone googles - in the U.S, about 12 billion times a month (including search engines that aren’t Google). We are mostly pleased with the results we get. How can it be that we give an automated system a couple of words and it finds reasonably relevant documents among one hundred billion or so possibilities? Will our satisfaction with these tools increase or decrease as the Web and our expectations grow?

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The sequence of the human genome, the primary goal of the Human Genome Project, was achieved just a few years ago. Because our genomes are a string of 3 billion sequences of four chemical letters in the DNA polymer, the ability to obtain genomic sequences depended on revolutionary progress not just in DNA chemistry but also on the equally revolutionary advances in speed, capacity and versatility of digital computers. By far the most prominent result of the determinat

North Korea has often been described as a huge black box. This is not the case any more: an increasing number of sources provide us with good knowledge of the country's domestic developments. Nonetheless, it is important to be aware of the limits of our knowledge and clearly differentiate between hard facts and plausible rumours. This presentation will provide an overview of some current trends in North Korea, combining it with critical analysis of the available sources. It will deal with the le
This public forum will discuss The Great Crash of 2008 by Ross Garnaut, with David Llewellyn-Smith, Melbourne University Press, to be released on 12 October 2009. The book examines the factors that led to the Great Crash of 2008 and subsequently to the current global recession. It provides an integrated analysis of one of the major events of our time, drawing on behavioural economics, the issue of global macroeconomic imbalances and the operation of modern financial markets.
