A Content-based Unit in the High School Spanish Classroom
This capstone project was designed to teach a content-based unit in a college preparatory high school classroom. The unit focuses on the environment and ways the students can help the environment, and also has students investigating some environmental practices of land policy in Costa Rica, recycling in the United States, and overall practices that can help or harm the environment. The unit emphasizes both communication and content, and uses the three modes of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational for the assessment. Each day of the unit is described, and analyzed with both strengths like the integration of the future tense and weaknesses to be addressed like students preparedness for interpersonal assessments. A final analysis of the unit describes it as a successful unit that would have a few changes such as changing the order of the assessments in the unit, and slowing the pace of the vocabulary instruction if the teacher were to teach it in future years.

How Americans Are Losing Billions to the Mutual Fund and Brokerage Industries-- and How You Can Earn More with Less Risk
Convinced that your star mutual fund manager will help you beat the market? Eager to hear the latest stock picking advice on CNBC? FORGET ABOUT IT! The Great Mutual Fund Trap shows that the average mutual fund consistently underperforms the market, and that strategies for picking above-average funds -- everything from past performance to expert rankings -- are useless. Picking individual stocks on the advice of brokers and analysts works no better. The only sure things are the fees and commissions you’ll pay. Fortunately, the news is not all bad. Investors willing to ignore the constant drumbeat of “trade frequently,” “trust the experts,” and “beat the market” now have the opportunity to do better. Using new investing products investors can earn higher returns with lower risks. Drawing on their years of Wall Street, Treasury and Federal Reserve experience, Gary Gensler and Gregory Baer offer a fresh and realistic look at how money is managed in America. From new indexing strategies to risk-managed stock selection, The Great Mutual Fund Trap offers investors an escape from high costs and immunity from seductive marketing messages.

In this paper we describe how the co-author network, which is built from the
bibliographic records, can be incorporated into the process of personal name language classification. The model is tested on the DBLP data set. The results
show that the extension of the language classification process with the co-author
network may help to refine the name language classification obtained from the
author names considered independently. It may also lead to the discovery of
dependencies ...
Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSML) are more and more used to
handle high level concepts, and thus bring complex software development under
control. The increasingly recurring definition of new languages raises the
problem of the definition of support tools such as editor, simulator, compiler, etc.
In this paper we propose generative technologies that have been designed to
ease the development of model animation tools inside the TopCased platform.
These tools rely on ...
