Nullable<T> Structure
Represents a value type that can be assigned null.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Initializes a new instance of the Nullable<T> structure to the specified value.
Indicates whether the current Nullable<T> object is equal to a specified object.(Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
Retrieves the hash code of the object returned by the Value property.(Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
Retrieves the value of the current Nullable<T> object, or the object's default value.
Retrieves the value of the current Nullable<T> object, or the specified default value.
Returns the text representation of the value of the current Nullable<T> object.(Overrides ValueType.ToString().)
|Explicit(Nullable<T> to T)
Defines an explicit conversion of a Nullable<T> instance to its underlying value.
|Implicit(T to Nullable<T>)
Creates a new Nullable<T> object initialized to a specified value.
A type is said to be nullable if it can be assigned a value or can be assigned null, which means the type has no value whatsoever. By default, all reference types, such as String, are nullable, but all value types, such as Int32, are not.
In C# and Visual Basic, you mark a value type as nullable by using the ? notation after the value type. For example, int? in C# or Integer? in Visual Basic declares an integer value type that can be assigned null.
The Nullable<T> structure supports using only a value type as a nullable type because reference types are nullable by design.
The Nullable class provides complementary support for the Nullable<T> structure. The Nullable class supports obtaining the underlying type of a nullable type, and comparison and equality operations on pairs of nullable types whose underlying value type does not support generic comparison and equality operations.
The two fundamental members of the Nullable<T> structure are the HasValue and Value properties. If the HasValue property for a Nullable<T> object is true, the value of the object can be accessed with the Value property. If the HasValue property is false, the value of the object is undefined and an attempt to access the Value property throws an InvalidOperationException.
When a nullable type is boxed, the common language runtime automatically boxes the underlying value of the Nullable<T> object, not the Nullable<T> object itself. That is, if the HasValue property is true, the contents of the Value property is boxed. When the underlying value of a nullable type is unboxed, the common language runtime creates a new Nullable<T> structure initialized to the underlying value.
If the HasValue property of a nullable type is false, the result of a boxing operation is null. Consequently, if a boxed nullable type is passed to a method that expects an object argument, that method must be prepared to handle the case where the argument is null. When null is unboxed into a nullable type, the common language runtime creates a new Nullable<T> structure and initializes its HasValue property to false.
Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5.1, you can include a Nullable<T> type as a member of a structure exported in a WinMD library. Previously, this was not supported.
The following code example defines three rows of a table in the Microsoft Pubs sample database. The table contains two columns that are not nullable and two columns that are nullable.
// This code example demonstrates the Nullable<T> class. // The code example defines a database table in which two columns // are nullable. In the application, an array of rows is created // and initialized. The table rows could subsequently be // written to a database. using System; class Sample { // Define the "titleAuthor" table of the Microsoft "pubs" database. public struct titleAuthor { // Author ID; format ###-##-#### public string au_id; // Title ID; format AA#### public string title_id; // Author ORD is nullable. public short? au_ord; // Royalty Percent is nullable. public int? royaltyper; } public static void Main() { // Declare and initialize the titleAuthor array. titleAuthor[] ta = new titleAuthor[3]; ta[0].au_id = "712-32-1176"; ta[0].title_id = "PS3333"; ta[0].au_ord = 1; ta[0].royaltyper = 100; ta[1].au_id = "213-46-8915"; ta[1].title_id = "BU1032"; ta[1].au_ord = null; ta[1].royaltyper = null; ta[2].au_id = "672-71-3249"; ta[2].title_id = "TC7777"; ta[2].au_ord = null; ta[2].royaltyper = 40; // Display the values of the titleAuthor array elements, and // display a legend.

So did we meet the mother or not? HIMYM creator weighs in
This week's episode of How I Met Your Mother was huge. No, the episode didn't exactly end with, "and that's how I met your mother," but it was definitely leading up to that point. Ted had the yellow umbrella and threw around a lot of phrases like, "if it weren't for that, you kids may never have been born."
While the woman who tapped Ted on the shoulder wasn't revealed until the final moments of the episode, it doesn't necessarily mean that she's the mother. HIMYM executive producer Carter Bays recently spoke to Michael Ausiello about the surprise ending and what exactly it means for the last two episodes of the season.
Unsurprisingly, Bays wouldn't come out and say whether or not Stella is the mother, only saying instead that, "Everything will be made clear and it will move the ball forward," when speaking about the next two episodes. Next week is going to be important as well, since they're going to "reveal why Ted running into her again is such huge moment."
Frankly, as much as I enjoyed the episode, Stella's return was much ado about nothing. I sincerely doubt she's the mother, especially since, as Joel pointed out in his review, we already had the alternate reality of, "and that's how I met your mother," with two blond kids who were not Ted's actual future children.
More likely is Ted's running into Stella causes him to meet the mother, whether she's a friend of hers, or somebody whom he meets because of his contact with Stella in the next few episodes. I liked the Stella storyline, but a.) it's over, and b.) I'm of the opinion that the mother is someone we haven't yet met. While I doubt we'll get any real closure in the season finale, it's nice to see this story moving forward somewhat-- even if it is only at a snail's pace.

St. Lawrence College stages The Broth of Brith
Quebec City's Cégep Champlain St-Lawrence has a tradition of staging original musical comedies. Last year, you might remember "Grosse Île," a serious historical drama. This year, something lighter: a fantasy called "The Broth of Brith" which draws on some of Shakespeare's most recognizable character-types and plot twists. The CBC's Rachelle Solomon spoke with John Halpin, Dean of Faculty at SLC, who co-wrote the show, and student performers Amanda Sweeney (the Princess) and Alyson Mace-Reardon (the Wizard).

Read: How Much Does Brad Richards Help The Rangers?
At NHL.com, Dave Lozo looks at the impact that Brad Richards will have on the Rangers.
Lozo says that Richards should help with the Rangers young core, but they need to find consistency with their scoring to get better and take some pressure off of Henrik Lundqvist.
He also thinks that the Rangers could cut ties with either Erik Christensen or Sean Avery.
Nick Cotsonika writes at Yahoo that Richards got the amount of money that this years market dictated he would.
I would think that Erik Christensen could see his days with the Rangers end before training camp starts. Richards will help a lot, and most of the posts set up for today will reflect that.

Track Meet
NORAD annually tracks Santa's progress because a child trying to reach Santa via a newspaper advertisement called the wrong phone number.
[Collected via e-mail, December 2008]
Supposedly the tradition of NORAD tracking Santa's journey on radar comes from an accident in 1955, when Sears Roebuck & Co published a "call and talk to Santa" phone number that was one digit off from a number at the Continental Air Defense Command (NORAD's predecessor). Although cute, this story smacks of urban legend to me. Was it really so easy, even in 1955, to accidentally contact a colonel at a sensitive military installation, without having to go through security or any receptionist?
Ever since the mid-1950s, generations of children in North America (and, since the advent of the Internet, children from all over the world) have eagerly turned to an annual service provided by the U.S.-Canada North American Aerospace Defense Command (
) to help them track the progress of Santa Claus every Christmas Eve as he departs the North Pole and traverses the globe in his reindeer-driven sleigh, delivering presents to good little boys and girls around the world.
NORAD's engaging well over a thousand people to provide a yearly Santa-tracking program seems to many like a rather whimsical venture for a staid
defense-based agency to be engaging in. And, in fact, NORAD didn't set out to be in the business of providing real-time Santa updates every Christmas Eve: that service came about strictly by accident, the result of a misdialed number published in a local department store newspaper advertisement.
Back in 1955, NORAD's predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) was based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At Christmastime of that year, a Sears department store advertisement placed in a Colorado Springs newspaper featured a picture of Santa urging children to "Call me on my private phone and I will talk to you personally any time day or night." Unfortunately, the phone number included in the ad was either misprinted or misdialed, and a child who called ended up not on the phone with
St. Nick
but on a top secret line to one Colonel Harry Shoup, the officer on duty that day at CONAD. Rather than informing his juvenile caller they had reached a wrong number and brusquely instructing them to get off the line,
Col. Shoup
opted to play along and asked his staff to accommodate the inquisitive youngster by providing them with updates on Santa's Christmas Eve progress.
The story of the accidental origins of NORAD's Santa-tracking program has been told and
many times over the decades. Here's how Col. Shoup's daughter related it back in 2009:
One morning that December, U.S. Air Force Col. Harry Shoup, the director of operations at CONAD, the Continental Air Defense Command — NORAD's
predecessor — got
a phone call at his Colorado Springs, Colo., office. This was no laughing matter. The call had come in on one of the top secret lines inside CONAD that only rang in the case of a crisis.
Grabbing the phone, Shoup must have expected the worst. Instead, a tiny voice asked, "Is this Santa Claus?"
"Dad's pretty annoyed," said Terri Van Keuren, Shoup's daughter, recalling the legend of that day in 1955. "He barks into the phone," demanding to know who's calling.
"The little voice is now crying," Van Keuren continued. "'Is this one of Santa's elves, then?'"
The Santa questions were only beginning. That day, the local newspaper had run a Sears Roebuck ad with a big picture of
St. Nick
and text that urged, "Hey,
Kiddies! Call me direct ... Call me on my private phone and I will talk to you personally any time day or night."
But the phone number in the ad was off by a digit. Instead of connecting with Santa, callers were dialing in on the line that would ring if the Russians were attacking.
Before long, the phone was ringing off the hook, and, softening up, Shoup grabbed a nearby airman and told him to answer the calls and, Van Keuren said, "'just pretend you're Santa.'"
Indeed, rather than having the newspaper pull the Sears ad, Shoup decided to offer the countless kids calling in something useful: information about Santa's progress from the North Pole. To quote the official NORAD Santa site, "a tradition was born."
From that point on, first CONAD and then, in 1958, when NORAD was formed, Shoup's organization offered annual Santa tracking as a service to the global community. A phone number was publicized and anyone was invited to call up, especially on
December 24,
and find out where Santa was. Manning those phones over the years have been countless numbers of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps personnel and their families, and for many people, turning to NORAD to find out where Santa is became something to look forward to each year.

Taylor Swift appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night and did more than just an interview. She joined the list of stars who went "Ew!"
Prior to her appearance, the singer uploaded a video of herself dressed as a young teenage girl named Natalie to YouTube, asking if Jimmy Fallon's alter ego, Sara, remembered her. She asked if she could stop by sometime.
RELATED: Top 10 Taylor Swift Songs
Swift did get to star in Fallon's Teen Nick spoof show, Ew! last night with a mouth full of braces and her hair full of pigtails, reports the New York Daily News.
Jokes were pointed at Swift's friend, Selena Gomez, with Fallon imitating her dancing in the music video for "Come and Get It." Swift herself mentioned that Natalie isn't allowed to watch television anymore thanks to Miley Cyrus and her twerking.
In addition, Swift also made note of her own music during the five-minute segment. Sara asked Natalie about her feelings towards getting back together with someone after a breakup, she responds with, "Never… ever, ever, ever… ever," reports Entertainment Weekly.

I purchased this Harbor Freight Storm Cat 900 Peak / 800 Running Watts 2 HP 63 cc 2 cycle generator just this week for less than half price on a special red tag sale from Harbor Freight. I've had one before, and there are some changes to note. My new generator is item number 69381. To all appearances it is identical to the red tank Storm Cat 900 / 800 2 cycle generator I purchased eighteen months ago, but it is not. Now, I unpacked the new generator and noted that the overall build quality does seem to be somewhat improved since I last bought one. Everything necessary was included in the box, and everything was packed in a styrofoam fitted box liner that is very protective. This is a good thing, since I selected mine from a stack of six, and this was the ONLY one in the stack that had no damage whatsoever to the packing box. The first visual clue that this generator is an updated model is immediately apparent. It now comes from the factory with a number of warning decals installed on the gas tank and elsewhere that the older one did not have. These serve to remind the owner to protect his warranty by using the proper fuel/oil mix, etc. These are not all the differences, however. Most internet reviews mention removing and locktiting a number of bolts using a ten millimeter wrench, but on this updated model you must use an eight millimeter wrench. They also recommend removing the Bonan spark plug and replacing it with an Autolite 64, or an NGK BP5ES. This new model comes with an XIAHUI F7TC spark plug installed. This corresponds to an Autolite 62 or 63, or an NGK BP7ES. Evidently the upgraded model requires a different heat range plug. I know you can't judge a book by its cover, but to all appearances the Xiahui plug I removed also appeared to be of good quality. I saved it for later use, just in case. I made all the recommended adjustments detailed elsewhere in reviews on this generator, including removing and loctiting bolts, changing the spark plug, and adding a B&S type in-line fuel filter and better fuel line tubing. I will say that the gas line I removed did appear to be made of good quality rubber material, and I saved it for use later, just in case. Out of an excess of caution, I also drilled a pin-hole in the gas cap to prevent vacuum lock and fuel starvation as a few have reported having experienced. BTW: The white foam air filter on this machine could use a serious upgrade. Something larger that actually fills the housing would be a good idea. I would also lightly oil the new foam filter to make it even more effective.Moment of truth! I put fresh unleaded non-ethanol mix gasoline and 2 cycle oil in the tank (50:1 mix as recommended). I opened the fuel flow control valve, then pulled the starter cord several times with the switch set to OFF. I did this to put some fuel/oil into the piston in hopes of lubricating the first few engine strokes a bit. I set the choke, set the switch to RUN, and pulled the starter cord lightly one time. It fired right up and began to idle as I adjusted the choke setting back to off. I let it idle for about ten minutes, and then connected a heavy-duty floor fan (set to high speed - about 250 running watts) to the output socket and switched it on. Instantly the somewhat rough idle smoothed out and the generator began to run evenly. I pointed the fan directly at the generator, positioned so it would both cool the motor and help to blow the exhaust away. It has been running now for a good hour without missing a single beat.There are those who would tell you this generator isn't very loud at all, and it isn't. On the other hand, I would not be comfortable trying to hold a conversation with it nearby. The drone is apparent even inside my well-insulated house with double pane windows. The output is too small to use a 50-foot or 100 foot extension cord (IMHO) because of voltage drop. Ideally, the owner will create an open, but weather-proof, shelter for the generator that will serve to block direct noise and reflect it away from your location. I just tested the generator output with my Kill-A-Watt digital meter. It says the little generator is putting out 130 volts (+/-). I measured my house wiring output with the Kill-A-Watt meter at 120 volts, so it is set accurately. I will leave the generator alone until it is well broken in and test it again. I believe voltage can be adjusted downward by adjusting the engine's running rpm with the carburetor. Still, it would be a good idea to keep that in mind as I make use of this generator in the near future.To maintain the warranty, we are told to keep the electrical load down to no more than 600 watts for the first twenty-five hours. It may be that this is the more realistic running output rating of this very small generator (and not the 700 - 800 watts advertised) Either way, you can do a lot with 600 watts of power when you are a long way from the grid!Overall, I believe the build quality is up. Only time will tell, but for light use, this generator appears to be about as good as it gets. It is easily portable at 38 dry pounds, and the stated fuel useage of about 1 gallon every five hours at half load is pretty economical. The price is right! I highly recommend it to anyone who can use it and maintain it as experience has taught us is necessary.

I have had a blue one for over 1 year now. I broke it in EXACTLY per instructions for the time/load stated. I first installed the better spark plug per many users and I checked tightness of all bolts. The final run used up all the gas and I drained the carb to put it away til I needed it. Next time I tried to start it and it wouldn't. I pulled the carb and cleaned in a carb cleaning solution in an ultrasonic cleaner. Reinstalled and it started up. I also installed a fuel filter. The little engine constantly hunts for a stable rpm. I removed the small 'plastic square plug' on the carb to reveal a screw that I turned in to settle it down and stabilize its rpm. There is also an external screw below the gas tank hidden under the rim of the tank to help with adjusting the governor. With no load, the voltage read on my FLUKE VOM was 90-143 volts. Once a load of 150 watts of incandescent bulbs was added, it simmered down to 110-130 volts. I watched this for over 30 minutes and varied loads to see what worked best. This generator is not made to run anything electronic. I hoped I could clean up the voltage spikes by plugging in an APC UPS [battery back up power supply for computers, etc] and it remained on battery and wouldn't allow this generator to power it up due to the voltage constantly varying wildly. This UPS does not have the ability to set the hi/low voltage alarm settings. I will use this generator ONLY to power incandescent light bulbs and possibly small power tools. I will not even plug in the battery charger for my cordless tools, which is why I bought it in the first place. Not risking it. I really didn't want to put out $500+ to get a reliable small/lightweight generator, but I may have to. Again, this is the BLUE generator; the RED may be better built engine?????

great light weight generator
By john
from floresville tx
This storm cat generator works great.from my 500wAtt lights to my 5000btu air conditioner.ive had no problems whatsoever with this unit.ive been working on all types of small engines for 22 years.to say the least this generator works exactly as its supposed to.ive taking it to outings without issues.its not the quietest machine but extension cord fixes the noise level nicely.i also plugged my laptop into it for three hours to see if it would hurt the computer.no problems.i did replace the spark plug with a E3 plug(E3.22).seem to help it run smoother and starts on two pulls opposed to 4-5 pulls with the factory plug.i have around 135 hours on my little storm cat and it still performs like new.i would definitely recommend this generator to anyone in the market for a lightweight extremely portable generator. For the price you cant go wrong.i wasn't going to write a review but with all the naysayers bad mouthing this lil machine i had to.i hope everyone whos buys this storm cat 900 watt generator has as good as experience with it as i.i will post another review at arournd 500 hours.thanks for reading and good luck.

I bought this little "genny", (the blue one) to use at an event in our area called "Fly Wheelers". I have a small motorcycle-tent camper and I dry camp at this event three times a year. I use the generator to power a small TV/DVD player, fan, lights, electric blanket and cell phone charger.I got this unit on sale ($88) and never looked back. I followed the break-in procedure, Lock-tightened the suggested nuts and bolts and replaced the spark plug with a brand named plug. I only use NON-ETHANOL fuel in this generator and mix it 50:1 as dirrected. I've had this unit for three years now and it always cranks on 2-3 pull. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! If you're on the fence about this little unit, let me tell you, you won't regret buying one. Money well spent. Going to buy another one as a back-up. May I suggest the Two year plan just in case. Money well spent on a wise investment.

I use it for harvesting bamboo and tree logs deep in the rain forest. Under extreme weather conditions it works great (save from rain in my truck). I use 100ft. power cord and a reciprocal saw for hours, some times for days. Just fill up and keep working. At night two lamps and a radio in my camp. Is been a year since I get it, is been out on the field for more than 60 days since. I trust this unit and I like it.

Confession: I secretly don't like musicians. I don't understand their passion to just sing all their life and not work
Many of us have had day jobs while performing or giving music lessons part-time. As was said, it also takes a lot of work to become proficient enough to play an instrument, either as a soloist, or with others. Working musicians, even on a part time basis, are not lazy.
Have you ever been inspired or moved by a song. Each one of us have a natural body rhythm. The best musicians, tap into the rhythms of the most people.

And we love you.
If they can make money while doing what they enjoy screw what you think of them.
I work what is by any means a respectable 9-5 job. I chose not to pursue a career in music because it was far more work than I was prepared to put into it. Professional musicians play all the time. Touring is unbelievably demanding on the body and soul - there's a reason so many fall into drugs and alcohol. The life of a professional musician is so demanding that it's difficult to cope.
I just edited my answer to give you more detail, but yes. It's not an easy life.
Well all views are subjective. I can't give you stats on the number of hours a week musicians work. But I certainly have an easier life than the professional musicians, actors, and artists I've known. And I live in a small town in northern Canada ;)
Nah, I'm happy here. I can hang with the moose. And the free healthcare is sweet. Drugs are cheaper too. Emergency room waiting times are appalling, but that's my idiot government's fault, not the healthcare system.
He's pretty popular, but mostly because the GOP is terrifying to many Canadians. Your Democrat party is about on par with our Conservative party politically, so the Tea Party folks come across as maniacs. I'm not an Obama fan personally for a bunch of reasons.
While I can agree that some musicians out there are completely overrated... do you honestly believe that spending hours sometimes weeks, writing, recording, re-recording, practicing, shuffling around from place to place getting your stuff out there.

Sending songs to different producers, sitting in media interviews (if you get to that point)... negotiating with said producers and other middlemen so you don't get jacked out of a decent amount of compensation....

and then IF you're big enough and still have the heart for it doing all that over again for years NOT work?
Perhaps they do not understand the type of lifes everyone else has and secretly dislike you too..
They give money to places liket st jude and save lifes too, not all but some do so what makes them not as good as you?
musicians save my life.
I spend at least 5 hours a day working on my technique till I get the exact rhythm that I was looking for, then I have to put notes to it. I play saxophone and I have scar tissue on the inside of my lip that gets re-opened almost every day. It's not easy coming up with original ideas because of how much stuff has already been done.
They are people, too...some people have a good work ethic, some don't....the ego-maniac type musicians get on my nerves "big time!"...I refuse to work w/them ...doesn't matter how talented they may be...In your statement, you make it sound pretty bleak for musicians, we are not all the same, not all are "bums"...not all are talented, either...some are in it for the "benefits"...like with all peeps, there is a large grey area.....ok?...lol...
I'm not a musician but... do you like music? That music doesn't just appear... it is hard work that the band creates with creativity. They work hard to bring you what you hear on the radio. Think about it.
Do you sing or hum a tune too a song you like?
If you listen too a song... then the band or musician makes their point
Secretly their passion is not to work.
Touring is tough as hell, and when you're barely scraping by on cash and rushing from location to location trying to entertain people every night it can really get you. Then, there's shady managers and club owners to deal with who might try to stiff you and sometimes things won't even happen as planned and you'll have wasted time and energy for nothing. It's a hard lifestyle unless you reach Metallica level fame and let's face it - that's almost impossible. Besides, being in a band is all about hard work.
same here- I'm not really musically inclined
You must know some Unsuccessful Musicians, when I Played I didn't have to work I made Plenty of Money Playing Music. :)
Music is the work and it isn't easy. A lot of people have the talent but it takes something more to refine it and become a polished musician who understands music theory and the intricacies of the musical world. Some can be lazy though, just like anybody in any profession though. Musicians usually practice a ton though and they have the added pressure of performing their work in front of large audiences of people judging them publicly instead of working quietly in a cubicle. There are pros and cons just like any job, so don't knock it til' you try it.
What if singing is their profession ?
Well I don't like opera singers because there very self centred and always saying - me me me meeeeee. Cheers and happy weekend!
If I can get by without doing the stuff I hate, I'll do just that. Make sense?
Some are just really naturally talented. But even then, music still takes a lot of dedication and work to master. You could say the same thing for other naturally talented people in other fields as well. Some people just pick it up easier and don't have to work as hard to be successful. But usually the people who are successful have put a good amount of time and effort into their profession. The rest would probably fall into that category of lazy "musician" and never gain any significant success in their field. Also since musicians usually need passion to do their work, it often doesn't feel like work. People in other fields experience the same thing as well. If someone loves science and research, doing ita lot won't feel like work even though they are puttinglots of time and effort into it.

Date Added: Feb 2010
Format: PDF
The use of the Lattice monitoring framework as a fundamental part of an overlay management system for virtual networks is presented. Lattice has been specially designed for monitoring resources and services in virtualized environments, including virtual networks. Monitoring of virtualized resources and services has many criteria which are not relevant for monitoring systems that are used for traditional fixed resources. The authors present the main aspects of the framework together with details of measurement transmission and meta-data encoding. Finally, the use of the Lattice framework for monitoring virtual machines executing under hypervisor control is presented.

Student Scholars Win National Recognition
Posted By titel On March 22, 2012 @ 10:15 am In Spring 2012, The Campus | No Comments
Three College of Arts and Science students have been selected as top scholars by prestigious national institutions.
Katie Ullmann has been named a 2011 Udall Scholar in recognition of her past commitment to environmental issues and her demonstrated commitment to a career in the environmental field. An American studies major and Ingram Scholar, Ullmann has focused on social movements and their effect on environmental and climate protection policies. Now a junior, the Brookline, Mass., student was one of 80 undergraduates selected nationwide—and one of only 27 sophomores—from a group of 510 students nominated by 231 colleges and universities. The scholarship from the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation provides up to $5,000 for her junior or senior year.
Seniors Justin Menestrina and Tim Xu were selected as Goldwater Scholars from a field of nearly 1,100 math, science and engineering students nominated by colleges and universities across the country.
Menestrina is a physics student from Knoxville, Tenn., conducting honors research in preparation for his senior thesis. Xu, of Vienna, Va., is completing a double major—with honors—in neuroscience and European studies. The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program provides each with a two-year scholarship worth $7,500 a year for educational expenses.
In addition, Greg Gauthier earned honorable mention in the Goldwater competition. The Wheaton, Ill., senior is working toward an honors degree in mathematics and economics while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
