The Italian Job8/13/12 at 1:00 AMChrysler's fiat-fueled revival.
Washington's Whipping Boy8/6/12 at 1:00 AMGeithner won the crisis. But has he lost the recovery?
Myth of Decline: U.S. Is Stronger and Faster Than Anywhere Else4/30/12 at 1:00 AMListen, the U.S. is better, stronger, and faster than anywhere else in the world.
Obama: Taking Care of Business?1/30/11 at 10:00 AMIn case you hadn't noticed, President Obama has been on a mission to love-bomb corporate America in recent weeks, from cutting a deal to extend Bush-era tax rates to peppering the State of the Union address with paens to private enterprise. But are business leaders buying into the courtship?
Gross: Are We Out of the Economic Slump Yet?1/23/11 at 9:45 AMPundits will say President Obama's poll numbers are rising because he can define himself against the GOP, he's cutting deals, and he's shifting to the center with new appointments. Bollocks. Most Americans can't tell Bill Daley (the new, corporate-friendly chief of staff) from Rahm Emanuel (the old, corporate-friendly chief of staff). No, Obama's slowly improving political fundamentals—just in time for his State of the Union address, thank you very much—can be attributed to steadily improving economic fundamentals. In early January, he said, "We've got a big hole that we're digging ourselves out of." But how much of the shoveling is behind us—and how much more do we have left? We offer a progress report on the recovery.
Gross: Why Peter Orszag Was Lured to the Big Citi1/5/11 at 8:30 AMBanking is politics by other means.
Economy: Debt and Politics12/23/10 at 8:15 AMGlobal leaders may not have much time in their schedules for Broadway shows, but it's their loss if they've missed Al Pacino's star turn on Broadway as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice."
Austerity, But Not for All12/18/10 at 12:00 AMThe rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But is 2011 the year this adage no longer holds?
The Fed's Management Skills Inspire Little Faith12/11/10 at 8:30 AMBad decisions leave little room for faith.
Gross: The U.S. Isn't Just an Energy Hog11/19/10 at 12:00 AMAmerica isn't just an energy eater.

Third-World Financing Comes to the U.S.10/16/10 at 9:00 AMNew businesses target the 'unbanked.'
Taxing My Patience9/17/10 at 12:25 PMHere are five things you need to know about the debate over extending the temporary tax cuts Congress passed almost a decade ago.
'Wall Street 2': A Day Late and Many Dollars Short9/16/10 at 11:00 AMWhen he first appears in "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko—older, gray, thicker around the midsection—is lecturing at a college about the out-of-control debt culture. The inside trader has reinvented himself as a scold.
Do the Rich Deserve More Tax Breaks?9/14/10 at 7:00 PMWhy people who make $250,000 or more a year can afford a tax hike.
Rock-Bottom Prices!9/13/10 at 4:00 AMWelcome to the lowball culture. In a world of sluggish growth, excess capacity, and depressed expectations, buyers of goods and services—labor, houses, and restaurant meals, among others—have come to believe that desperate sellers should take any offer they make. But that kind of systemic bargain hunting can create a dangerous spiral: employers short-change workers, workers buy fewer goods—and the overall economy suffers.
A Successful Turn9/3/10 at 10:00 AMWith Ford's restructuring, and the bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler, the U.S. auto industry has shrunk and cut costs to the point at which it can make money on a smaller, more realistic number of sales. Is this a new normal?
CEO Crybabies8/31/10 at 10:00 AMThe newly passed financial-reform bill requires CEOs of public companies to measure and report the ratio of their pay to that of their workers. Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman is complaining that the Obama administration is like Hitler invading Poland. With government and the media making life so difficult for CEOs, it must be nearly impossible to turn a profit. Right? Um, not really.
Decline in Tourism May Be a Blessing for the U.S.8/29/10 at 1:00 AMBut the decline in travel may be a blessing.
What the JetBlue Guy Says About the Economy8/15/10 at 1:00 AMIt may seem ironic that signs of employee dissatisfaction should emerge at a time of high unemployment, but it's hardly surprising. For the two phenomena—the poor labor market and workers' antagonism toward employers and customers—are actually connected. Employees are sick and tired of tough conditions and crummy salaries.
Is Any Job Better Than No Job?8/10/10 at 11:00 AMEmployers shouldn't be surprised that Americans won't take their crummy low-wage jobs.
How Businesses Aren't Helping Matters8/5/10 at 4:00 AMThe financial crisis forced many employers to cut or stop 401(k) matches. But for many, their profits are back, but not the retirement contributions. Here's why it's time for them to restore perks.
Don't Panic About the Economy7/30/10 at 4:36 PMThe new GDP numbers aren't as bad as the doomsayers insist.
The Volt Jolt7/29/10 at 3:00 PMGeneral Motors has announced that the bottom-end version of the Chevy Volt, its new electric car, will cost $41,000. Even after a generous federal rebate, it's still pricey.
Consumer Confidence Drops, but Americans Spend More7/28/10 at 10:30 AMAre we in a period of gloomy growth? An era in which Americans are pessimistic and sour but buying more anyway? What explains this behavior?
Restore the Estate Tax!7/22/10 at 4:00 AMThe billionaire, the union leader, and the heiress trying to bring back the tax on inherited wealth.
Why Investment Bankers Are Hurting7/20/10 at 5:00 PMLet's pause and shed a tear for a class of American workers who are suffering unduly thanks to big, uncontrollable trends in the global economy. The slowdown and uncertainty in the markets is reducing demand for their services. They've become political punching bags. They're America's investment bankers.
Why CEOs Are Never Happy7/20/10 at 6:15 AMAfter an eight-year slumber, the Environmental Protection Agency is issuing regulations again. Two years after an appalling financial debacle, Congress is finally moving to regulate Wall Street. But to hear our nation's commercial chieftains tell it, it's enough to plunge us back into recession.
Goldman's $550 Million Settlement: Its Best Trade Ever7/15/10 at 8:00 PMGoldman Sachs has long been known for being a sharp trader. And the settlement announced with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday seems like a great trade. Goldman agreed to pay $550 million to settle charges that it had misled investors about mortgage-related products. How is this a smart trade for Goldman, its top executives, and its shareholders? Let us count the ways.
The Miracle Deficit Cure? Growth.7/13/10 at 8:00 PMOn Tuesday, the Treasury reported the federal government's receipts and expenses for June. The upshot: through the first nine months of fiscal 2010 (which started last fall), the federal government has run a $1 trillion deficit.
DIY Economy: Businesses Have to Fix It Themselves7/10/10 at 8:00 PMThe government seems to have run out of ideas for rebuilding the economy, but businesses and consumers are figuring it out for themselves.
Why a Higher Postal Rate Is Good for the Economy7/6/10 at 8:00 PMWhen the U.S. Postal Service loses money, it's effectively subsidizing inefficient business models and operations. And less mail would be better for the economy, better for businesses and consumers, and better for the environment.

300 Rome Total War FAQ will be on: http://www.dateyourgame.com/ 300 - Rome Total War is a video that many thousand people asked me to make... Considering my colossal collection of Rome Total War and Medieval II Total War video, I guess every one want to see my version of the thing. So I finally decided to do something with the famous 300 Spartans against the Persia empire. Of course Rome Total War has some limitation. I had to modify Rome Total War to achieve something interesting and of course I don't believe that this will be best video game adaptation of the 300 movie neither will it be an accurate representation of the actual event at Thermopylae. Personally I don't care... Never saw both of those myself. The music was took from the credit of Medieval II Total War. Since Rome Total War and Medieval II Total War are public domain and are both make by the same company and are member of the same series of game and use the same engine. I guess Creative assembly will be please to...

The Song is by lamb of God The Game Medieval2 Total War Album: Ashes of The Wake lyrics: Now you've got something to die for, Now you've got something to die for. Infidel, Imperial. Lust for blood, a blind crusade, Apocalyptic, we count the days. Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree, Flags for coffins on the screen, oil for the machine. Army of liberation, gunpoint indoctrination, The fires of sedation, Fulfill the prophecy. Now you've got something to die for, Now you've got something to die for. Send the children to the fire, sons and daughters stack the pyre, Stoke the flame of the empire, live to lie another day, Face of hypocrisy, raping democracy, Apocalyptic, we count the days. We'll never get out of this hole, until we've dug our own grave, And drug the rest down with us, the burning home of the brave, Burn. Now you've got something to die for, Now you've got something to die for.

— That the Oakland Raiders will enter the 2012 season with a new head coach doesn't qualify as much of a surprise. The San Diego Chargers having the same one roaming the sidelines may have caught a few observers a bit off guard, however.

I love kalamata olives. I can eat them straight from the jar, daintily spitting out their pits as I reach for the next one. This amuses Ray.
I came across this recipe for savory shortbread a couple of months ago, and decided that I would divide the base dough (without olives or pepper) into 3 portions, adding a new mix-in to each. Essentially, why have 60 shortbread bites of ONE flavor when you can have THREE?
Well, of that experiment, I found 2 winners, one being the kalamata olive and black pepper. These are the perfect bites to put out as appetizers … they stand on their own, or can be accompanied by jam or cheese. And I love how they melt into your mouth with their buttery and salty goodness. Yummmmm.
Definitely give yourself time to make these. My best results come from letting the dough chill at least 12-24 hours. This works well when you don't have a lot of time: you can make the dough and shape the logs one night, and then bake them the next.
Another quick note: because the recipe calls for a single egg, it's pretty hard to scale down. My advice if you don't need 60 shortbread cookies of ANY flavor:
Prepare the dough ahead of time, because it will need to chill for at least 1 hour before you shape the shortbread bites.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Stir in the pepper and set aside.
Beat butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 mins.
Add egg yolk and beat to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure an even mixture.
Slow add in the dry ingredients at a medium-low speed.
Fold in the minced olives.
The shortbread dough should be fairly easy to handle, but if it's a little sticky you can dust your hands with flour before handling.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it gently to bring it together.
Divide into two portions and roll them both into logs, about 1.5-inches in diameter. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
After chilling your dough logs thoroughly, heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking silicone.
Remove dough from the fridge, unwrap, and use a sharp knife to slice the bites into rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the shortbread bites onto the baking sheets, with at least an inch in-between each one.
Chill the full baking sheets in the freezer for 5 minutes (this will help keep them from spreading too much).
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. (If baking two trays at once, make sure you switch the top and bottom trays around half way through the baking time)
Leave the shortbread bites on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to cool and then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.

Our third daughter is presently attending MMA. She loves it. There is a strong emphasis on giving back to the community, sports, and of course, academics. Her two older sisters are MMA graduates who attribute their success in college to their high school experiences. It's the best investment we have ever made!
Our alma mater is so right: 'Your school and my school, long may fond memories dwell, in your heart and my heart, of the spot we love so well.' My days at MMA were great and I recommend the school to anyone who wants to listen. I credit them for helping me develop confidence in myself as a young woman. Girls will be girls, but Merion girls will be ladies!
My daughter attended this school, and had a marvelous experience. She was challenged and encouraged. She had a number of opportunities to participate in sports, as well as leadership opportunities in non-athletic extracurriculars. The girls have a great loyalty to one another, and appreciate each other's talents and differences. It is a special place.

Fans of Hawaii Five-0 can breathe a sigh of relief, Catherine Rollins will not be dying any time soon.
Back in March, news broke that Hawaii Five-0 actress Michelle Borth who plays Navy Lieutenant and Five-O leader Steve McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) girlfriend is exiting the series. Borth will not be returning for the upcoming fifth season of the show, which lead many fans to believe her character, Catherine, would bite the dust before the current season's finale.
Peter Lenkov, executive producer, told TV Guide, "She doesn't die. She goes out spectacularly. She goes out a hero, and the door's open for her to come back. Hopefully we'll see her again at some point."
When it was revealed that Borth's exit would coincide McGarrett and Catherine's off the grid, dangerous trip to the Middle East, fans jumped to the conclusion that Catherine would fan an untimely end. Lenkov's reassurance in the character's exit not coming at the ultimate price, leaves fans with hope that Borth's character Catherine will return when the story allows.
Catherine's final episode titled "Makani" will explore the character's past and bring a new intensity to her relationship with McGarrett. The "big, dramatic" romantic arc will also include a meaningful statement from at least one of the Five-O team as teased by Lenkov:
"I love you too" – you are you going to adore #H50 421
— Peter M. Lenkov (@PLenkov) April 3, 2014
Borth's Catherine Rollins first appeared in the fourth episode of season one. She was promoted to series regular in season three and later became the fifth member of the Five-O crew.
Hawaii Five-0 airs Fridays at 9/8c on CBS. What will you miss most about Catherine after her departure from Hawaii Five-0 later this year?

Since the season is one-third complete, now seems like as good a time as any to go over the fantasy baseball stats leaders, look at their respective paces, and see how likely it is that they'll maintain their pace.
What's the purpose of this? Well, if you're a fantasy owner of these guys, maybe you want to sell high on these guys. If you're a possible fantasy owner, maybe you're wondering if now's the time to buy, or if they're due for some regression.
Here, we look at runs scored, with Josh Donaldson of the Oakland Athletics leading the way.
Note: Stats are current through conclusion of games on May 31.
- Current Total: 48
- Current Pace: 139
- The last time someone scored 139 runs in a season? Alex Rodriguez (143) and Jimmy Rollins (139), both did so in 2007. It's worth noting that Mike Trout scored 129 in 2012 despite not getting called up for nearly one full month into the season.
- Josh Donaldson's Career High? 89 in 2013.
Your teammates can be as important as you when it comes to runs scored — that's not exactly a secret. But no team has scored more runs than the A's thus far in 2014, and they were fourth in runs scored in 2013. That definitely works in the favor of Josh Donaldson.
Donaldson's not a base stealer and while he's on pace to be well above this total in 2014, he's never hit more than 24 bombs in a single season, and both of those contribute to runs scored totals in a big way.
Still, something does give me confidence in Donaldson's run scoring ability. He gets on base…A LOT.
Donaldson has reached base in 46 consecutive games. At a glance, it doesn't seem all that likely that he'll keep that going, right? Well, right. I doubt he finishes the season having reached base in 151 consecutive games.
But that doesn't tell the full story. Right now, Donaldson's hitting .285 and has an OBP of .379. In 2013, he hit .301 with a .384 OBP. So while it's unlikely that he'll get on base every game for the rest of the season, it's not at all unlikely that he'll reach base at a similar, or even better, clip. How does that relate to runs scored? Well, it's tough to score a run when you don't reach base.
Remember, it might seem like he came out of nowhere and people were certainly expecting some regression, but this has been one of the game's better hitters going back to the second half of 2012. You do something for that long and it's a little harder to be dismissed as a fluke, or lucky.
Having said all of that, 139 runs wouldn't floor me, but I'm not expecting him to get that high. Still, I don't exactly see him as a sell high candidate, unless you get a great offer. He can fall short of 139 runs and still be a great run scorer for your fantasy team.
Projected Runs Scored Total: 115

About Bifurcation Disease
Approximately 20% of all atherosclerosis cases involve lesions at or near side branches in the coronary tree. Acute and long term outcomes in this subset of patients are worse than the outcomes of patients with simple lesions. Moreover, when percutaneously treating bifurcation lesions, interventional cardiologists use a variety of complex techniques that involve the modification and distortion of tubular stents designed for straight rather than branching arteries. To date in the US, no stents are approved for use in bifurcations. For these reasons, bifurcation lesions are common reasons for referral to coronary bypass surgery Coronary bypass surgery

Yoshi refuses to budge. We keep having to step over him. What a little brat.
EVERY time we get back from his morning walk, Yoshi passes out RIGHT when he gets through the door. He can not be bothered with the few steps to his water bowl.
I was really engrossed in some tv show while daddy had Yoshi chasing a treat on a rope back and forth. When I realized it was really quiet for quite some time and I heard daddy in the shower, I looked to my left and see only half of Yoshi's passed out body. Hahah

New Orleans Reveillon Dinners
There are many great reasons to visit New Orleans during the holiday season - the boutique shopping, the Christmas decorations, the concerts in St. Louis Cathedral and so much more. One of my favorite reasons is the Reveillon dinners.
Reveillon is French for "the awakening." It's a tradition that goes all the way back to the mid-1850's when Creole families celebrated with festive multi-course meals during the holiday season. Traditionally the first Reveillon meal was on Christmas Eve, the second on New Year's Eve, but today it's celebrated in New Orleans restaurants on a nightly basis throughout all of December.
On Christmas Eve, families would fast for a day, attend midnight mass at St. Louis Cathedral, then break that fast with a large, rich meal. The New Year's Eve celebration included inviting over friends and loved ones for a fun filled meal with delicious treats. Afterwards, families would return home and partake in a light meal before dancing and singing the night away.
In the present, New Orleans restaurants serve both traditional Reveillon meals inspired by Creole traditions, as well as contemporary menus that use ingredients and cooking techniques that weren't available in the 19th century. The multi-course meals average between $45 and $55, while some restaurants may be slightly more expensive.
Here's a look at 13 of my favorite restaurants that have special menus this year. For more information about the restaurant, click the link.
7 on Fulton - Located near many of the hotels in the Central Business District, 7 on Fulton is serving a contemporary and innovative Reveillon dinner.
Andrea's Restaurant - If you're staying at one of the suburban hotels in Metairie, or even if you're not, Andrea's is worth visiting. There, Chef Andrea is serving traditional Reveillon dinner with his trademark Italian influence.
Arnaud's Restaurant - A French Quarter favorite is Arnaud's. They're featuring a traditional four course dinner that includes entrée choices of Roasted Duck Breasts and Pan Seared Pork Chop.
Bistreaux - Located in the Maison Dupuy hotel, Bistreaux has put together a four course contemporary menu featuring Bourbon Roasted Chicken, as well as Braised Beef Short Rib.
Bombay Club - In the heart of the French Quarter is an upscale restaurant and martini bistro by the name of the Bombay Club. This month they have a contemporary Reveillon menu with Roasted Cornish Hen and Grilled Redfish.
Broussard's - There's a lot of historic restaurants near the hotels in the French Quarter, but few come with as many stories as Broussard's. Their chef put together a five course traditional menu that includes entrée choices of Pheasant or Gulf Redfish.
Court of Two Sisters - Year after year, visitors to New Orleans go back to Court of Two Sisters. Their Jazz Brunch is one reason, their Reveillon dinner is another. This month, they're serving a traditional four course menu that has choices of Roasted Half Duck, Blackened Pork or Gulf Fish Clemenceau.
Crescent City Brewhouse - If you're looking for good craft beer, as well as a delicious meal check out the Crescent City Brewhouse. Their Culinary Institute of America Trained chef put together a traditional five course menu with choices of Redfish Pontchartrain, Shrimp & Grits and Southern Crispy Duck.
Foundation Room at House Blues - If you're coming into town for a show at the House of Blues, check out their Foundation Room beforehand. They have a traditional four course menu.
Kingfish - Looking for something upscale and casual while you're in town? Kingfish is the answer. They have a five course contemporary menu that includes Sea Scallops and Lobster Cassoulet.
The Pelican Club - Nestled away in the quiet Exchange Alley and close to many French Quarter hotels, the Pelican Club put together a contemporary Reveillon menu with choices including Lobster, Braised Pork Ribs, and Dry Aged Prime Strip.
Tujague's - Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in the city and so of course they have a traditional meal planned with four courses. The menu includes Lamb Chops with Brandy Mushroom Sauce, House-made Gnocchi with Louisiana Blue Crab and Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce or Gulf Fish on the Half Shell.
While you're in town, plan to celebrate the holiday season with your family and friends while indulging in a Reveillon meal.

Right Hand bat
Right Arm Leg-Spin
It is incredible to think that Cameron White became captain of the Victoria Bushrangers nearly ten years ago.
Approaching his 30th birthday, White is now one of the senior members in the 27 man state squad.
In his debut season, White picked up his only ever career 10-for in a dominant display against the Warriors.
With just one season under his belt, the blonde haired rookie was handed the captaincy of the one-day side, before taking the reins of the Shield side the following year.
The early years saw White succeed as a batsman, with plenty of half-centuries in both forms of the game. He was still developing his leg-spin, and although he was taking wickets, it was seen as a weakness in his game.
An impressive start to the 2006/07 domestic season saw White hit hundreds against Tasmania and New South Wales.
The big hitting Victorian was rewarded with a call-up to the t20 squad, and he delivered with 40* and 45 in his first two matches.
A series of handy all-round contributions eventually led to his Test selection for the 2008 tour of India.
Despite removing Sachin Tendulkar on debut, White struggled against the best spin playing nation in the world. He managed five wickets and scored 146 on a mediocre tour. He has not played Test cricket since.
His ODI record has been much better, with White even filling in as Ricky Ponting's deputy on a number of occasions. 2,037 runs from 87 matches probably doesn't do him justice, with White often having to attack from the get go.
The all-rounder struck two centuries for Australia, with scores of 105 against both England and Pakistan.
In his 38 game t20 career, White prided himself on his ability to clear the fence. His unbeaten 64 off just 26 deliveries isn't his highest score, but it did lead to a famous tie against the Kiwis back in 2010.
He finished his international career with 38 sixes from as many matches.
You get the feeling that the 2013/14 season could be a big one for White. The 130 game veteran has now hit 17 centuries in first-class cricket and has taken 185 wickets.
With several high quality tweakers in the side, White should be able to focus solely on his batting.
After years of his service to the national side and stints in the IPL, the Victorian and Melbourne Stars skipper can concentrate on returning his teams to the summit of Australian domestic cricket.

2004 Nissan Altima Problems
The engine may stall at times due to a failed crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor, These sensors can fail intermittently as they warm with the engine. Sensors on certain models have been recalled by Nissan and will be replaced as necessary. Please visit our recall section for this model to see if your vehicle is covered by this recall.
The external seal on the engine oil cooler can fail and create an oil leak.
The AC system may blow warm air due to refrigerant loss caused by a leaking low pressure AC hose. These hoses commonly develop a leak at the hose crimp connection.
2004 Nissan Altima Questions
replaced the sensor night before then when my wife drove to work the car stalled after about 15 mins of driving ands light came back on. cranking to start car is also longer. code #0345
Sometimes when I run over bump or hit even a small pothole with the passenger front tire I feel a violent jolt and a loud thunking noise coming from the wheel well. It's quite startling and disturbing. It's so obvious that sometimes I feel like the wheel has just broken off. Any ideas on...
Heater does not warm up.
2004 Nissan Altima Recalls
The engine coolant temperature can vary at the coolant sensor due to its unique location. If these variations are large enough, a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor may occur. If the signal interruption is so brief that the electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning. This condition will commonly occur only at low speeds. If the engine stalls without warning, a crash may result. Dealers will reprogram the ECM to correct this concern. The Nissan recall number is R0606.
2004 Nissan Altima Reviews
Good overall running car with normal issues if you buy quality oils and Brake parts it lasts. Dealers are dealers, by now we know how to deal with them too. Tested Mobil 1 5w30 syn and oil filter after every 10K. It was still all good for another 2k or more. Drain Transmission fluid one gal and replace, Transmission will run like butter forever. Buy or have installed quality Brake rotors and ...
Best car every made, bought it new in 2003 with 80 miles now 8 years later has 340,000 miles and still going strong. I am a commuter and drive this car approx an 1hr 1/2 each way 5 days a week. Only problem is some transmission slipping, but as long she cranks we're rolling. :) Love, Love this car....
I just had a baby and I needed a new car. Something in a 4 door and fast!!! After doing extensive research and adding a few mods I had the ultimate sleeper. It was December 2003 and I went and bought my first new car, a 2004 Altima 3.5 SE. On the ride home I was very dissapointed with the handling so the very first thing I did was install heavy duty front & rear sway bars and that did the trick...

Fort Pierce, FL
The Navy SEALs are renowned as some of the most fearsome soldiers in the United States military, going through hellish training so they can be ready to fight by sea, air, or land, day or night. The story of the Navy SEALs is presented at the U.S. Navy SEAL Museum just outside of Fort Pierce, established in 1981 with the help of former SEAL Captain Norman Olson. Here, you can explore the history of the SEALs, learn about the tools they use, and view a collection of artifacts brought back from SEAL missions around the globe.
Locals deepen their understanding of Fort Pierce's natural environment at the Manatee Observation and Education Center, where anyone can come and see wild manatees in their natural setting. The Manatee Center is situated next to Moore's Creek, a frequent resting spot for manatees. The Manatee Center also offers a flower garden built to attract the colorful butterflies native to the area. Dolphins, pelicans, terns, and other local wildlife may also make an appearance, serving to advance the Manatee Center's mission: Furthering understanding and care of the fragile ecosystems that line the Florida coast.
Most nicknames have a good story behind them, but the Treasure Coast has a story that could have been penned by Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1715, a fleet of Spanish ships full of treasure sank in a storm off the Florida coast, hence the nickname. Although it sounds like a fairy tale, but the discovery of gold coins by several dive teams prove the legend to be true. The sunken galleon Urca de Lima is maintained as Fort Pierce's first underwater archeological site while unknown amounts of other treasure may still be lying undiscovered on the ocean floor.

Three Ways to Breathe New Life into Your Online Courses
Online teaching is growing at a rapid pace. To meet the increasing demand of online education, many courses have been designed to enable the instructor to be more of a facilitator rather than an active participant in the classroom space (Ragan, 2009). However, building an active, student-centered learning environment in online classes is needed to prevent instructors from becoming stagnant and to motivate and inspire them to take on a variety of roles as the students' "guide, facilitator, and teacher" (Ragan, 2009, p. 6). This article will discuss the unique needs of the online student and suggest three strategies to meet these needs through effective, innovative online instruction.
What Online Teachers Need to Know
The majority of us teach the way we were taught growing up (Southern Regional Education Board, 2009). This presents a challenge for online faculty, who most likely received their education in a traditional, brick and mortar school. Online instruction is much different from face-to-face instruction. Over the past nine years, I have discovered four basic elements that contribute to being an effective online teacher.
Applying the Seven Principles for Good Practice to the Online Classroom
Almost 25 years have passed since Chickering and Gamson offered seven principles for good instructional practices in undergraduate education. While the state of undergraduate education has evolved to some degree over that time, I think the seven principles still have a place in today's collegiate classroom. Originally written to communicate best practices for face-to-face instruction, the principles translate well to the online classroom and can help to provide guidance for those of us designing courses to be taught online.

The Top 10 Faculty Challenges for Teaching Online
Issues such as time and workload management, quality assurance, and the need for new skills and competencies remain real or perceived barriers for faculty who are new to teaching online. Join Lawrence Ragan of Penn State's World Campus as he shares his observations, stories, and insights regarding where faculty struggle in the online classroom, and what can be done to help.
video Online Seminar • Recorded on Thursday, November 8th, 2012
Practical Advice for Going from Face to Face to Online Teaching
Developing an online course based on an existing face-to-face course requires more than learning how to use the technology and loading the material into the learning management system because, as Catherine Nameth, education outreach coordinator at the University of California-Los Angeles, says, "not everything will transfer directly from the face-to-face environment to the online environment." This transition requires the instructor to rethink and reconfigure the material and anticipate students' needs.
I'm Teaching Online Next Term: What Do I Have to Know?
While embracing the benefits of online learning, new online instructors also have a lot of questions … about the technology, about creating a teaching presence, about structuring their course, and much more.
Guidelines for Online Teaching Success
Years ago at a faculty meeting Larry Ragan, PhD, director of Faculty Development for Penn State's World Campus, was trying to soft-sell the idea of performance expectations for online faculty. He didn't want the discussion to be misinterpreted as an indictment against their teaching style, but he also saw an opportunity to share proven practices for improving the online teaching and learning experience. Finally a senior faculty member grew tired of the tip-toeing around the subject and said, "If you don't tell us what is expected, how will we know what to do to succeed?"
Be Efficient, Not Busy: Time Management Strategies for Online Teaching
Online teaching redefines the faculty member's schedule. The feeling of being a 24/7 professor can lead to frustration. Managing one's time as an online teacher can be a challenge. As the popularity of online education continues to grow, teaching faculty need to develop effective time management behaviors to be efficient and not just busy. Here are ten strategies I like to use:
Online Teaching Tips for Leveraging Students' Insights and Experiences
Teaching any online class is time-consuming and can be a juggling act. The instructor must keep students engaged and motivated, adhere to a variety of deadlines, quickly answer all student emails and postings, react to in-class "emergencies," stay on top of all school policies, and teach the subject in an easy-to-understand manner—while remaining a patient, upbeat, and constant presence through it all. This is no easy task, and while we each have developed approaches to help us, there is one often underused "tool" that online instructors can employ: the students in one's course.
Intellectual Property, Copyright, and Harassment: Navigating the Murky Legal Waters of Online Teaching
If you teach online, here's a simple quiz for you:
- Are you familiar with your college's intellectual property policy?
- Do you know if you own the class material you have created?
- Do you have permission to use all copyrighted materials you use regularly?
- Do you know how to prevent defamation and harassment issues online?
- Do you have a disability expert on campus that regularly assists in the development of online materials so that you do not violate disability guidelines?

FBI Says Wire Fraud Scam Sending Millions To China
CmdrTaco posted more than 3 years ago | from the hey-just-stoppit dept.125
Trailrunner7 writes "The FBI is warning businesses about an ongoing spate of attacks that are stealing millions of dollars from companies through unauthorized bank transfers to Chinese companies. The fraudulent wire transfers are not a new tactic, but the FBI says the current round of attacks is notable in that virtually all of the transfers are going to shell companies based in China and have cost U.S. businesses $11 million. The FBI said that many of the cases it has seen involve well-known pieces of malware, such as Zeus, SpyEye and others. The amount of money the attackers try to transfer varies from $50,000 up to nearly $1 million."

I'm going to bed. Tonight's nightmares:
I'm way smarter than you and I have no idea how the hell anyone could be SO STUPID as to disagree with me! How could ANYONE come to a conclusion other than the same one I've come to?! That's pure stupidity!

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Turkey. I am a huge fan of the secular Turkish state and even of it's current government. I don't like that the generals feel like they can coup every year and get away with it. That being said, I LOVE PM ERDOGAN. This man, y'all.
Unf. Turkish PM has me getting all hot.
You get an unf! AND YOU GET AND UNF!
How does it rate that watching Remember the Titans always makes me cry?
Boom goes the China!
China, after its decades-long building boom, has 65,000,000 unoccupied houses, condominiums and apartments and continues to build at a rate five times demand.
Trust me: China has economic problems too. It's just good at hiding them.
Zing. Boom. Game. Set. Match.
That's my Lebron.
This is getting ugggggggly, OKC.
Sodom is referenced multiple times in the Bible as an example of great sinning. And what might that sin be?
In Isaiah 1:10-17 it is thought to be injustice, not rescuing the oppressed, defending the orphan, pleading for the widow. In Jeremiah 23:14 it is adultery. In Ezekiel 16:48-49 it is the sin of not aiding the "poor and needy." In Zephaniah 2:8-11 the sin is bullying, boasting and pride. In the Wisdom of Solomon it is "the bitter hatred of strangers."
The sin is not about being gay. It is not about non-straight sexual orientation. The sin of Sodom was lacking hospitality, not being just, bullying, hating strangers, not caring for those marginalized. Funny, they are all things Churches (and individuals for that matter) sorely need to keep in mind and be better at practicing when it comes to how we do or do not welcome LGBTQ folk into our lives. After all, in today's society, who is more marginalized, more bullied, more treated like a "stranger," than them? Come to think of it, not so funny."—Clobbering Biblical Gay Bashing, by Mark Sandlin, who currently serves as the minister at Vandalia Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, NC. (via littlezephyr)
Good dog.
If Obama wins Virginia, one of the first states to close polls and announce the winner (most likely), that means Obama won.


text: Mark your calendars for the performances of the Houston Early Music 2012-13 season: HoustonEarlyMusic.org Most performances held in beautiful Houston churches for ambiance and wonderful accoustics. Come early to hear a pre-concert talk with the ensemble members. If you have a full-time student ID, there is a significant discount. Hope to see some of you at the performances. Cheers, Hillary

Insider knowledge: Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch 2 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch 2 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Fresh strawberries and cream, crumbled digestive biscuits and a hint of oak spice.
Palate: Treacle-like, sweet and thick. Sharp fruits with sugar syrup and more oaty biscuits.
Finish: A long, lasting finish.
Overall: A drop of water wouldn't go amiss, although it is still very drinkable without it, despite the high ABV.
corposo l'ho assaggiato allo spirit of scotland a roma,niente da dire,ottimo whisky shery,morbido,corposo e buon finale....
