Spintrias
Ancient Roman coins with sex scenes:
They were used in ancient Rome to request and pay for different “services” in brothels and from prostitutes on the street. Since there were a lot of foreigners coming to the city that did not speak the language and most of the prostitutes were slaves captured from other places the coins made the transactions easy and efficient. One side of these coins showed what the buyer wanted and the other showed the amount of money to be paid for the act.

Shockingly, papajohns.com Bowl not a massive financial decision
For Rutgers, I mean. Not me.
Rutgers University collected $1.2 million for its trip to the PapaJohns.com Bowl last December. But by the time expenses were paid and the coaching staff given its performance bonuses, the school lost more than $184,000, according to reports filed with the NCAA.Via a college football site for winners.
While the football team's expenses were more than covered through the Big East Conference -- which pools playoff money -- the university spent more than $200,000 to send faculty, staff and 187 members of the band and cheerleader squads to the game.
Athletics officials said they kept a tight rein on expenses. Had the band and cheerleaders stayed home, they said they would have made $16,456.
"I am especially pleased that we could achieve our seventh straight victory and our third consecutive bowl championship and do so in a fiscally responsible manner," said interim athletic director Carl Kirschner.
The Papajohns.com Bowl is part of a long list of post-season games that are not part of the Bowl Championship Series. While they play a major role in college football, they have no impact on determining the sport's national champion.
Rutgers had downplayed the revenue impact of the game -- which it won in a come-from-behind victory -- long before it played out before a crowd of 38,582 at Legion Field on Dec. 29. While the big bowl games can generate millions in ticket sales, television contracts and other earnings, the Papajohns.com Bowl paid only $300,000 into the pool. Athletics officials had said they expected to break-even.

Money ain't a thang.
Tha Captain is not concerned.
Department of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Students,
I’m sure that most of you are well aware of the current economic
crisis. As a result of the impact on Alabama and the expected
diminution of funding, I expect that I will be obliged to cut back on
our graduate student support. I hope to support all the students who
are presently in good standing and on track in their programs. A
preliminary calculation indicates to me that we may not be able to
support more than a handful of students at the current levels. Next
year I expect that the majority of the assistantships will only be at
1/3 (or 3/8) time. I felt it necessary to inform you of this likelihood
as soon as possible so that you have time to make plans to conserve your
resources.
-Dr. Smith.
