Serves four.
A blend of chopped pecans, honey, butter and rosemary give broiled skirt steak a crunchy, toasty crust in this quick main course.
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease the foil with the oil. If necessary, cut the steak crosswise into pieces 8 to 10 inches long. Arrange the steak on the baking sheet in a single layer and season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Put the pecans, butter, honey, rosemary, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a food processor and pulse until well combined and the pecans are finely chopped.
Broil the steak until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip it and broil until it's cooked nearly to your liking, about 3 minutes more for medium rare. Spread the pecan mixture over the steak, patting the mixture with the back of a spoon to help it adhere. Continue broiling until the pecan coating is toasted and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Set the steak aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer to plates. If the pecan coating falls off the steak as you're slicing it, spoon it over the top.
Serve with fresh coleslaw or Broccolini with Olives and Capers.

by JennPed, 1/9/2012Followed the recipe exactly. I did however, salt the steak before putting on the topping. Definitely give this a try. Everyone enjoyed it. It is very easy and comes together quickly.
by JennPed, 1/8/2012Followed the recipe exactly. I did however, salt the steak on both sides and before putting on the topping. Definitely give this a try. Everyone enjoyed it.
by szatlanta, 6/10/2011Very quick and easy! My husband said I should cut back on how much pecan crust I had on it, but I loved it just as is.
by meliscarm, 3/31/2011I wanted to give this a high rating and had high expectations for the recipe. However, the topping did not turn out well for us at all. I followed the recipe to a T, but think the salt amount was off? The balance of salty to sweet was way out of balance. (note - I did use unsalted butter, so the only salt in the topping was what was called for) I'm not giving up on this one and will certainly try again, while adjusting the salt and honey ratios. Definitely had my mouth watering when I first saw the recipe! On a more positive note, I had to start the steak in my grill pan due to other items in the oven, but followed the timing as suggested in the recipe. I finished it off under the broiler as directed and the meat came out perfectly! We simply just scraped off the topping this time around.
by jmtownsend, 11/5/2009This is such a delicious dish! Very quick to make and quite tasty. The steak stayed moist, the topping was so savory and it just melts in your mouth. The flavors reminded me of the holidays. Great recipe!!
by krispyecca, 10/23/2009This is fantastic and incredibly quick to make. The topping is especially wonderful.

**Join us for a USC Madrid Info Session on Wednesday, March 26th 12-1PM in WPH 206**
Program Site: USC study center at the Instituto Internacional in central Madrid; Universidad Carlos III de Madrid's Getafe campus (Option II only).
Eligibility: Minimum cumulative USC GPA of 3.0. Also:
Description: The Madrid program is for students with low-intermediate to advanced Spanish fluency who have an academic interest in Spain. Students in Option I (USC catalogue courses only) take all of their classes alongside other USC students at the Instituto Internacional in central Madrid. Students in Option II (USC catalogue courses of Option I and Spanish university courses) take two to three courses alongside Spanish students at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Getafe, about 10 miles from central Madrid and easily accessible by public transportation.
Academics: The USC Madrid center offers USC catalogue courses in Art History, International Relations, Political Science, and Spanish. All students in Option I must take at least two USC Spanish courses.
Students may take courses for major, minor, or elective credit. Courses are taught in Spanish unless otherwise indicated.
USC catalogue courses are 4 USC units each and are taken for a USC letter grade. The letter grade appears on the USC transcript, and the grades are factored into one's USC GPA. The courses are taught by local faculty approved by academic departments at USC and follow USC-approved syllabi.
Please note that the list of courses below is subject to change and is dependent on student interest and enrollment. The USC Madrid Center reserves the right to not offer certain courses if necessary.
Possible USC Courses (Fall 2014):
- SPAN 240 Spanish IV
- SPAN 260 Advanced Spanish: Arts and Sciences
- SPAN 261 Advanced Spanish: Society and the Media
- SPAN 301 Introduction to Hispanic Literature & Film
- SPAN 302 Survey of Film
- SPAN 320 Iberian and Latin American Cultures: Readings on Society
- SPAN 469: Immigration in Spain
- IR 468 European Integration (taught in English)
- POSC 469 Critical Issues in Comparative Politics-Contemporary Spain (taught in English)
Option I: Students in this option choose four USC courses from the list above. At least two of the courses must have a SPAN prefix. Students must meet course prerequisites as stated in the USC Catalogue.
Option II: At the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid's Getafe campus USC students take courses in the humanities and social sciences. Option II students take Carlos III courses that are taught in Spanish and are part of the grado or degree courses that Spanish undergraduates take.
Carlos III courses are available in the following fields of study: anthropology, art history, comparative literature, economics, gender studies, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, philosophy, psychology, sociology and Spanish. Some examples of courses that may be of interest to USC students are Economía de la Integración Europea; Política Española; Organizaciones Internacionales; Literatura Contemporánea de España e Iberoamérica; Evolución y Variedades del Español; and Psicología Social.
Students in this option take two 4-unit USC Spanish courses and three 3-unit Carlos III courses (for a total of 17 units) OR three 4-unit USC courses (two of which must be Spanish courses) and two 3-unit Carlos III courses (for a total of 18 units).
USC students do not receive a USC letter grade on their USC transcript for courses taken at Universidad Carlos III. USC students receive USC credit (CR) for Carlos III courses they pass and no credit (NC) for Carlos III courses they do not pass. Carlos III course grades do not affect one's USC GPA.
Option II students will not receive USC credit for any English-taught Carlos III course or any of the Carlos III Centro de Estudios Hispánicos (CEH) courses. USC students may not take for USC major or minor credit any Carlos III courses valued at fewer than 3 USC units (i.e. fewer than 6 ECTS units).
Course load and credit: Students in Option I take four 4-unit USC catalogue courses for a total of 16 USC. Option I students may not take fewer or more than 16 units. Option II students take a minimum of 17 USC units and a maximum of 18 USC units.
Activities and Other Program Features:
While all students are invited to participate in program activities, students in Option II may not be able to attend all USC Madrid activities, including cultural activities, excursions and day trips, due to class schedule conflicts.
Cultural Activities - In addition to learning on site at museums and historical sites within and beyond Madrid, program participants attend dance, music, film, and theater performances. The program directors also take students out to restaurants to sample different types of Spanish cuisine.
Day Trips - Each semester there are several day trips to areas close to Madrid such as Toledo and Segovia.
Multi-day Field Trips - These are longer trips (usually 3 days) to further regions of the Iberian peninsula. Professors and program directors accompany students on these educational excursions. Examples of recent trips are Andalucía; Galicia/Northern Portugal; Asturias/Castilla y León; Cataluña (incl. Barcelona); and La Rioja/País Vasco.
While the program directors inform students about opportunities to meet Spaniards and participate in Spanish culture, program participants are expected to be highly self-motivated and to actively seek opportunities to meet Spaniards and communicate only in Spanish as much as possible.
Accommodation: Students live with Spanish host families located throughout Madrid. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided seven days a week. Students with serious food allergies or very particular dietary needs should consider the Bilbao program, which has an apartment option that allows students to shop for and cook their own meals.
Dates: The fall semester runs from the beginning of September into the third week of December. Option II students should note that because exams are in January they should select only courses for which early exams can be arranged. The spring semester runs from mid January to mid May for Option I students and to early June for Option II students. Option I and II students are charged the same tuition. Option II students pay for 2-3 additional weeks of room and board in the spring.
Estimated Semester Cost:
Additional Expenses*…………$11,858
Cost Updated: 11/13/2013
Text Updated: 1/13/2014
*Additional expenses include estimated costs for airfare, room and board, books and supplies, health insurance, and personal expenses (which can vary greatly from student to student).

Hi All,
What is the cause of this? Is there any way to overcome this issue or any work around? At the same time I need to retain the hyperlinks also. Because it is very very difficult to re-create the links (more than 100 or 200 number of links will be there in every chapter).
Note: I have tried something like trashing indesign preferences. It is also not working.
I restored all my indesign file in the same folder structure except the root folder. I already tried the way you suggested. It is not helping me.
"I thought that may be Indesign is searching for the missing links" So I try editing the preferences so that indesign will not search for the missing links(I think it is only aplicable for graphic links is it?). After that also I am facing the same problem.
Is there anyway to open the indesign file without checking for missing hyperlinks. So that it may open faster.
It sounds to me like the problem is the new server path, and hopefully once the files are corrected and resaved so everything points to the new path (and I don't do hyperlinks, so I'm not sure, but you may have to fix them all manually) and the files are saved you should be back to normal.
John may have some thoughts about a script that can do the path corrections for you, though.
Hi John,
I tried it yesterday but I cannot open the idml back in Indesign. It says file format doesn't support.
Then today again I tried it and got success. Yesterday I used 7zip to unzip and zip, it fails. Then today the same I tried using win xp's compress method. Really is there any problem in 7zip application?
Note: I used Epsilon to edit the xml. I hope it doesn't have any problem in dealing with the xml.

Come develop your advanced-level Spanish language skills in a beautiful Mediterranean coastal city.
With intensive language training, Spanish-taught courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and direct enrolment opportunities at Universidad de Alicante, studying abroad in Alicante allows you to pursue your academic interests while greatly improving your foreign language skills. And with homestays, volunteering opportunities, a conversational exchange program, and a variety of cultural activities and excursions, you'll enjoy an unique and immersive, intercultural experience.
Study abroad in Spain and you will:
You will choose from a wide selection of language and content electives including anthropology, history, art, business and management, communications, gastronomy, and Spanish for future health professionals. You will also have access to the course selection at Universidad de Alicante, where you'll study with local Spanish students. Internships – typically with local NGOs and NPOs – are available as well.
Enjoy weekend, overnight, and day trips to different Spanish cities, to landmarks in the province of Alicante, and to the region of Valencia. Previous weekend trips have included visits to Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, and Granada. There are also several local day trips in the Alicante Province or the Valencian Autonomous Community. An optional one week trip to participate on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route is organized each semester for an additional fee paid on site.
A conversation exchange program, Intercambios, with native Universidad de Alicante students is an integral part of the language program. Intercambios meetings provide you with the real-world opportunity to practice what you've learned in the language courses while helping you integrate into Spanish student life. An International Club also organizes a range of activities to get you involved in the local community and meet Spanish peers.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.
Program fees include:

It should not, therefore, be used as a basis for calculation of refunds. CIEE reserves the right to adjust fees at any time.
Students required to study on CIEE programs through a School of Record will be charged a $340 administrative fee in addition to the Program Fees listed.
* non-refundable
** direct cost of education charged uniformly to all students
*** all meals are included
The estimated additional costs indicated are intended to assist students and parents in budgeting for those additional living and discretionary expenses not included in the program fee. Actual expenses will vary according to student interests and spending habits.
* round-trip based on U.S. East Coast departure
Total recommended credit is 15–17 semester /22.5–25.5 quarter hours per semester and 30–31 semester/45–46.5 quarter hours for the academic year. A full course load is considered five courses each semester.
Course contact hours are 45 hours and recommended credit is 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours per course, unless otherwise indicated.
Students take an intensive Spanish language course during their first two weeks on site. For the remainder of the study abroad program, students take one required advanced level Spanish language course and three electives chosen from CIEE Spanish language courses, CIEE content courses, and Universidad de Alicante courses. All Liberal Arts students are required to take one regular University course as one of these electives. Students can also take the CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in addition to the requirements above.
Students moving to the spring semester Liberal Arts program from another program are required to take the intensive Spanish language course.
Academic year students must complete the Language Independent Study in place of the intensive language course during their second semester on site.
With a population approaching 400,000, Alicante is a thriving Spanish city. Located on the Mediterranean coast, Alicante is an inviting place for study abroad students to begin their exploration of Spain or continue a previous journey. In recent times, Alicante has experienced a development boom and rapid population growth. Students will see modern architecture and Internet cafés alongside historic buildings, and shopping malls next to centuries-old open-air markets. Although fast becoming a cosmopolitan and multicultural city, Alicante retains a distinct Spanish flavor.
Francisco Díez, Center Director and Resident Director of the Liberal Arts study abroad program, earned his M.A. in Applied Linguistics and Spanish Language Teaching from Michigan State University and is currently working on his Ph.D. in Sociolinguistics. Originally from Alicante, he also studied at Sheffield Hallam University and taught Spanish for two years at Michigan State University. Francisco joined CIEE in 2000 as Resident Coordinator at the CIEE Study Center in Alicante, where he helped develop, produce, and run the socio-cultural and Intercambios programs, and the Spanish language placement test. He speaks Spanish, English, and Catalan.
Your study abroad experience is about to begin. Living and learning in a foreign country will allow you to grow as a student, while becoming a more global person. The city of Alicante, famous for its miles of soft sandy beaches, excellent weather, palm trees, and socio-cultural traditions, will be a magnificent starting point to many other aspects of your experience.
Upon arrival, you will discover that Alicante offers the lifestyle that includes everything you need. Over the years, the growth in population has injected a cosmopolitan feel to the city, while it retains much of its traditional culture. You will never be bored with so many fantastic places to visit—museums, historical buildings, miles of beaches, nearby charming towns, and evening entertainment—not to mention the fantastic weather all year-round.
If you are ready to accept this challenge, then get ready to live, swim, and dream in Spanish! I am looking forward to sharing with you my city on the Mediterranean.
— Francisco Díez, Resident Director and Center
Beatriz Ortín Pérez earned her undergraduate degree in English Studies from the Universidad de Murcia. Upon finishing her degree she spent one year in Ireland working at the high school level as a Spanish Assistant Teacher. In 2008 she earned her M.A.in English and Spanish Used in Specific Fields and Business from the Universidad de Alicante. In August of 2010, she was promoted to Student Services Director. In June of 2011, she earned a second M.A. in Secondary Education, also from the Universidad de Alicante.
The Universidad de Alicante is one of Spain's newest universities and is located three miles outside the city of Alicante. Established to serve the higher education needs of the province of Alicante, the Universidad de Alicante offers its 35,000 students the benefits of a modern campus with an international atmosphere. The CIEE Study Center is located next to the new Faculty of Education and one of the residence halls on the northwest extension of the main campus in San Vicente; this location provides students direct access to University facilities.
Housing and all meals are included in the study abroad program fee. CIEE students have two housing options: a Spanish homestay or an off-campus residence hall with other international and Spanish students.
Homestays—Students live in Spanish-speaking homes where all meals are provided. Each home accommodates one student. Homestays are the optimal housing arrangement because of their contribution to the program's goals of language and cultural immersion. In the homestay, each student is considered a member of the family and has the same rights and responsibilities as other family members. Homestays are located throughout the Alicante downtown metropolitan area-anywhere within a maximum 30 minute commute to the study center via public transport-with access to public transportation that students take to and from the University. Students should expect to use public transportation two to four times per day.
Residence Hall—Study abroad students seeking an independent environment should consider living in an off-campus residence hall with Spanish and other international students. The off-campus residence halls are located near the Universidad de Alicante campus in San Vicente, approximately 40 minutes by bus from the city center of Alicante. Students who live in the residence hall will be able to walk to campus, but should expect to use public transportation to get to and from the downtown area in Alicante. All meals are provided in the residence hall. The selection of vegetarian food options at La Villa is not substantial so we recommend that vegetarian students choose the homestay option. All rooms are single en-suite rooms with a telephone (incoming calls only), TV cable, Internet access, and air conditioning. Students share a kitchenette with a small fridge and a microwave.
You'll begin their study abroad experience in Alicante even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the Resident Director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions before leaving home. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. The CIEE goal for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program and site, as well as your goals for the program, so that you arrive to the program well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.
During the mandatory, three-day, on-site orientation, you'll be introduced to the country, culture, and academic program, and provided practical information about living in Alicante. The orientation seeks to inform you of issues relevant to your experience and help you make a gradual transition to Spanish life. A range of topics including housing and family life, cultural differences, health and safety, academic and social goals, gender and race issues, academics, and academic policies are covered. The orientation includes both structured cultural activities and independent sightseeing. Ongoing support is provided on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. You'll have free wireless Internet access at the CIEE Study Center, on the Universidad de Alicante campus, where you can also use the many computer labs, at your homestay or residence hall, and at numerous internet cafés throughout the city of Alicante.
Weekend, overnight, and day trips to different Spanish cities, to landmarks in the province of Alicante, and to the region of Valencia add a highly relevant cultural component to the academic curriculum. The study abroad program fee includes one weekend trip, and three-day trips. Previous weekend trips have included visits to Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, and Granada. There are also several local day trips in the Alicante Province or the Valencian Autonomous Community. An optional one week trip to participate on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route is organized each semester for an additional fee paid on site. This additional trip takes places during the fall and the spring break.
You'll have access to a wide variety of weekly activities organized by CIEE, as well as to those offered through the International Club, which is run by the Language Center at the Universidad de Alicante. These socio-cultural and sporting activities include guided tours to monuments and museums in Alicante, intramural activities, nature and hiking activities, cooking and dance classes, cinema, and theater.
A conversation exchange program, Intercambios, with native Universidad de Alicante students is an integral part of the language program. Intercambios meetings will provide you the real-world opportunity to practice what you've learned in the language courses and will help you integrate into Spanish student life.
The Intercambio sessions are organized with the collaboration of the School of Education at the Universidad de Alicante.
The Universidad de Alicante sponsors an International Club which organizes a range of activities, including optional excursions at affordable rates, to help study abroad students get involved in the local community and meet Spanish peers. You will also be able to enroll in such non-credit workshops such as cooking, horseback riding, sailing, hiking, flamenco, salsa, and theater.
CIEE Spanish Helpers are Universidad de Alicante students who guide CIEE students through orientation, organize and lead CIEE cultural activities, and participate in CIEE, day excursions, and other local events. Spanish Helpers introduce CIEE students to the local culture, help them make friends at the University, and adapt to Alicante life.
Interning abroad will prepare you for the challenges of a complex and integrated world. Internship projects provide not only a deeper involvement in local society but also a deeper knowledge of yourself—breaking the traditional borders between academic learning and personal growth. CIEE has designed specific placement projects with non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations.
You'll take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
Through the Liberal Arts program in Alicante, you can also opt to be part of the QUIJOTES language commitment project by which you agree both to speak in Spanish at all times as well as to participate in all project activities and meetings. QUIJOTES students have additional benefits (excursions, activities, and extra credit for the language courses) in order to foster the language commitment.
Alicante is historically and culturally bilingual, like many regions in Europe. Valenciano, related to Catalan, is the second language of the Alicante province. However, Castilian Spanish is the primary language of most residents in the city of Alicante, and you are unlikely to encounter Valenciano in every-day life. Approximately 10% of Alicantinos speak Valenciano as well as Spanish, mostly at home. It has very little presence in public or at the Universidad de Alicante. All homestay families are Spanish-speaking, as are CIEE staff and Universidad de Alicante faculty.
The Liberal Arts study abroad program is designed for students who have completed a minimum of five semesters of university-level language instruction in Spanish and achieved an advanced level of proficiency prior to participation. Students take a combination of CIEE courses designed specifically for advanced language students and regular University courses at the Universidad de Alicante (UA).
Universidad de Alicante courses are lecture style. Teaching methods in the Spanish university system are different from those in the U.S. Professors provide students with an extensive bibliography in the course syllabus, and it is expected that students make reference to these readings in their exams. It is the students' responsibility to demonstrate that they can intelligently analyze and discuss themes mentioned in class lectures, in addition to citing secondary sources and outside readings recommended by the professor.
The CIEE fall semester starts in late August and exams for CIEE courses take place the week before Christmas. The official Universidad de Alicante fall semester begins in early September and runs through mid-January with a two-week break for Christmas. The CIEE spring program begins in early January with final exams for CIEE courses given at the end of May. The official Universidad de Alicante spring semester begins in mid-January and runs through late May or early June. For fall and spring courses early exams may be arranged, but CIEE can neither facilitate nor guarantee this for all UA courses. All Liberal Art study abroad students must take one regular University course.
CIEE courses are scheduled Monday through Thursday. Teaching methods in CIEE courses are a combination of lecture and interactive styles. It is important to understand that the program takes place at a Spanish University with native Spanish instructors, and therefore students may notice differences in teaching styles.
Although extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute to the student's overall European experience, attendance in class is mandatory and absences affect final grades. Early departure for, or late return from, vacations is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during the semester break, or upon completion of the program.
Students attend CIEE classes with other CIEE study abroad students only. Participants directly enrolling in Universidad de Alicante courses share classes with Spanish and possibly other international students. Students may also take additional independent workshops with Spanish students, in Spanish, through the Culture Department of the Universidad de Alicante (Talleres de Cultura). For additional information about these workshops, please check the Culture Department website: http://www.veu.ua.es/es/talleres/.
Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
Through the Liberal Arts study abroad program in Alicante, students can also opt to be part of the QUIJOTES language commitment project by which they agree to speak in Spanish at all times. QUIJOTES students have additional benefits (excursions, activities, and extra credit for the language courses) in order to foster the language commitment.
In language classes, students are graded on quizzes, exams, homework assignments, oral presentations, and class participation. Grades in the content courses are based on class participation, a mid-term exam, research papers, an oral presentation, and a final exam. Each individual professor determines the exact breakdown of grades. Most of the courses include compulsory field trips, excursions, and site visits with special assignments as part of class work. Attendance is mandatory for all CIEE courses and absences affect final grades.
Courses are taught by faculty from the Universidad de Alicante, professionals in the different fields, and instructors specialized in teaching Spanish as a second language.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Semester students take Comprehensive Advanced Spanish Review during the intensive session. Academic year students take the Language Independent Study during their second semester.
Language Independent Study Students in the Liberal Arts program for a full academic year are required to take an Independent Study course during their second semester. In the past, topics have been related to such language areas as Spanish Phonetics and Phonology. Students meet with the CIEE Resident Director to discuss their area of study.
Comprehensive Advanced Spanish Review This course consists of 45 hours of intensive language review in which students analyze different aspects of the more common language structures in order to achieve a solid foundation. This review is intended to be a good starting point before regular classes begin. Students also develop culturally appropriate skills for real, everyday life situations in Spain. Some activities take place in the local communities.
Students must choose one of the two offered courses according to their language level and in conjunction with their home school Spanish advisor.
Advanced Spanish II: Proficiency in Spanish This course is designed to meet the needs of students who, having reached the advanced level of Spanish, need to further their skills in all four competences: listening comprehension, oral production, reading comprehension, and writing production. The course makes use of a variety of contemporary registers, from the very colloquial to the more stylish ones. Special attention is given to the more complex structures used in everyday life in real Spanish. The purpose of this course is to provide students the necessary tools to produce statements in any of the varieties of language that a native speaker uses in particular social contexts.
Advanced Spanish Composition and Creative Writing(This course is recommended for students with six semesters of College-level Spanish or equivalent.) Students achieve creative and innovative writing skills through the study of analytical, literary, and critical texts. Coursework focuses on stylistic variations while concentrating on other essential and interrelated writing elements, such as content, intention, and metaphors.
Students may choose to take additional language courses as electives. Language courses should be chosen in conjunction with their home school Spanish advisor.
Applied Spanish Linguistics and Principles of Teaching This course is specially designed for education majors, Spanish majors, and those planning to pursue graduate study. Students explore the basic psychological processes of second language acquisition and how they inform best teaching practices. Students apply their skills to the teaching of Spanish in a variety of contexts. This course includes visits to different Spanish teaching classes as well as practical teaching sessions in public schools in Alicante.
Advanced Conversational Spanish: Registers and Colloquial Uses This course is specifically designed to provide advanced students broader oral communicative competence. Students focus on the different language registers in order to understand and produce statements in any of the varieties of language that a speaker uses in particular social contexts.
Spanish for the Health Professional This course is designed to provide students with specific vocabulary, expressions, communicative strategies, and special constructions on health issues. Students learn the necessary tools to interact with Spanish speakers in health-related areas. To accomplish this, some grammar topics are reviewed so that health professionals and patients can make themselves understood in health-related situations. Their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills are improved as well. Also discussed are the cultural differences in the health profession between Spain and the U.S. in terms of labor and social situations. Texts at the student's level, DVDs with subtitles in Spanish, and a guided visit to the Hospital General Universitario de Alicante provide students a deeper insight into the health profession in Spain.
The Spanish Tradition in Art This survey course covers Spain's major contributions to the history of Western art from the Renaissance to the present. Emphasis rests primarily on painting and architecture, especially on the fundamental Spanish masters. Students learn how to analyze a painting from the formal and thematic approach and apply these methods to masterpieces of Spanish art. The course includes visits to the cities of Murcia and Orihuela as well as different museums in order for students to gain a better understanding of the arts in Spain and in the Comunidad Valenciana in particular.
Social Anthropology of Spain and its People The aim of this course is for students to analyze the different social and cultural diversity components within Spanish society. Students are exposed to the most important components related to the Iberian Peninsula as well as to the different cultural groups and their ways of social life. In this course, students not only understand the complexity, diversity, and most recent socio-cultural reality from a global perspective, but also from a regional and local perspective.
Human Resources, E-market, and Marketing inside Spanish Business and Management In this course students will acquire a global perspective of Spanish e-market/marketing as well as recognize Spanish marketing/e-market strategies. Students will adapt marketing concepts to practical cases studies by identifying national differences among countries and create marketing plans taking into account the importance of cultural awareness in the Spanish/European market and the relationship between local and global markets. Moreover students will understand the impacts of integration on a company from a managerial and business perspective. Managers have to learn to "e-manage," as opposed to simply "manage," in order to survive in this digital environment.
Seminar on Living and Learning in Alicante The CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in Alicante is designed to improve students' intercultural communication and competence while studying abroad by considering how Spaniards are different from and similar to themselves and others. The course offers opportunities, both in and outside the classroom, to develop insights and the skills necessary to interact effectively and appropriately, and to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural richness of Spain. Contact hours: 25. Recommended credit: 2 semester hours/3 quarter hours
Communication and Society: Comparative Analysis of the Media This course introduces a comparative analysis of the media both in Spain and the United States. Students study the history, structure, and characteristics of the media, gaining an understanding of the differences and similarities of the media between Spain and the U.S and a better knowledge of their societies
The Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage: Religion, History, and Culture The Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route that runs from the Pyrenees to the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago de Compostela in the Northwest corner of Spain, is a fundamental part of Spanish culture and history. Originally a spiritual journey for devout Catholics, the pilgrimage now attracts people from many cultures and religions and has developed international significance. The approach to this course is interdisciplinary, encompassing the role of the Camino in Spanish history, art, architecture, and literature. The course emphasizes different aspects of popular culture such as gastronomy, music, legends, and traditions, helping students acquire a further knowledge of Spanish culture. Students are evaluated on an interactive travel journal, a seminar-length paper, and two short tests covering the major themes of the seminar. Students may choose to participate on a five to seven day optional trip for an additional fee paid on site.
Mediterranean Gastronomy and Wine Industry in Spanish Culture This survey course covers an overview of the importance of the Mediterranean diet in Spanish life. Upon completion of this course, students understand Spanish topography and its effects on Mediterranean gastronomy and the wine industry in Spain. Students cover important aspects such as industry breakdown, the integration of Spain in the EU and its repercussions on agriculture and fisheries, the history of food and wine and its importance in the Mediterranean area, an overview of Spanish gastronomy, and wine production. Students in this class must participate in local excursions to different emblematic locations such as the Mercado Central and wineries in the province of Alicante, and to participate in gastronomic workshops.
Spain through its Popular Culture The aim of this course is to gain a better knowledge of Spain through Spanish popular culture, very well known by its native people, but sometimes difficult to understand by foreign students. The course explores present Spain by studying different aspects of the popular culture such as music, cinema, literature, comics, television, commercials, press, and entertainment. There is a triple approach: descriptive, analytic, and comparative with the U.S. All topics are illustrated with appropriate audiovisual materials.Students in this class must participate in local excursions to social and cultural emblematic locations in Alicante.
A Journey through Time: Present-Day Spain's Historic Past The historic events that took place in Spain during the 20th century have greatly marked the personality of present-day Spain. Historic milestones, such as the Civil War, the Franco Dictatorship, the transition to Democracy, and Spain's acceptance into the European Union have sculpted Spain's identity. A profound understanding of these concepts is essential in order to fully understand Spain in the 21st century. In this course, we propose a historical investigation of the past and the present, which in turn helps us discern the future. We analyze the political, economic, social, and ideological keys to these diverse historic moments, and establish a relationship between the equivalent aspects we find in present-day Spain—all from a global and cosmopolitan perspective. Students in this class must participate in local excursions to the historical emblematic locations in Alicante.
Three Cultures in Spain: Jews, Christians, and Muslims This course studies the racial, cultural, and religious relations between Christians, Jews, and Muslims up to the unification of Spain to then focus on learning and understanding the current Spain as a modern nation. Students will analyse Spanish culture by exploring the Arab World and Islam, the European western Christianity, and the Jewish Diaspora. Present time vs. tradition, geopolitics and Euro Mediterranean relations, the role played by Spain as a joining bridge within these three major religions, as well as cultural and politic communities in Modern Society. Class lectures are complemented with visits to cultural and historical sites around the ancient town of Alicante and its province.
The Political Construction of the European Union This course examines the key historical events leading to the founding and development of the European Union. It also examines and analyzes how the European Union developed with a special emphasis on institutions and relations with Spain
Literature and Film: Two Genres in One This course emphasizes the similarities between these two creative genres. The literary text, the script, and the visual text form a unity that, when well done, creates another piece of art. In this course, students view some of the most well-known and most representative films produced by the Spanish film industry in the last 20 years. They also read the literary texts on which some of these films are based and which are becoming classics in Spanish literary history. Students analyze and critique the films and literary texts with the goal of increasing their knowledge of contemporary Spanish culture and recent history. The aim of this course is not only to teach students how to analyze a film, but to show them how cinema can be enjoyable and didactic at the same time. This course also includes visits to La Ciudad de la Luz filming center as well as television studios and mediacenters.
Spanish Literature: Women in Contemporary Spain In this course students explore contemporary themes in Spanish literature with professors who are experts in the field. Through reading critical and literary texts, students explore the theme of women in Spanish literature and as writers of texts. The course examines selected prose, novels, short stories, and memoirs by important Spanish women writers since the mid-19th century. Students explore themes of gender, such as relationships, sexuality, women and nature, women and politics, women and creativity, and myths of femaleness.
Internship Academic year students may apply for an internship for credit while in Alicante. Internships are typically with non-governmental and non-profit organizations. Students meet regularly with an academic advisor, maintain a journal, and present a final project and presentation addressing the outcomes of their work experience and relevance to current issues in the field. Recommended credit: 3 semester hours/4.5 quarter hours.
Legal and Political Structure of Modern Spain This course examines the evolution of Spanish politics during the 20th century. Students are introduced to the Spanish political system, the Constitutional Monarchy (the Spanish constitution, the three levels of power, the operational Justice Courts, and the relations between the Spanish Government and the Autonomous Regions), the political parties, political campaigning, the electoral system, the role of communications and politics, and Spain's role in Europe. Students in this class must participate in local excursions to the City Hall, Court House, and other emblematic locations in Alicante.
International Relations in the 21st Century The aim of this course is to analyze the geo-political landscape of the world and take a contemporary pulse of the world as it is today. It focuses on the multi-polar world that is being constructed since the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the new century. This course attempts to interpret and construct a basic framework of the contemporary world order. It also covers the enduring problems of globalization, regionalism, nationalism and statehood, international migration, development and inequality environmental degradation, natural resource depletion, and war and global security. Finally, students learn to analyze and understand core issues and concepts in the contemporary international system.
Fundamentals of Personality This course studies and analyzes personality, with its features and characteristics, and behavior and temper, which are all subject to psychological studies. This knowledge gives us tools to understand both our own, and other individual's behavior, and it increases our emotional intelligence and social skills.
All Liberal Arts students must take at least one Universidad de Alicante course. Although UA official final exams take place in mid-January for the fall semester and early June for the spring, Liberal Arts students' final exams can generally be arranged for mid-December for the fall semester and late May for the spring semester.

ECB to meet over Twenty20 farce
The England and Wales Cricket Board's disciplinary commission are set to meet on Thursday after Yorkshire and Durham were left in Twenty20 Cup limbo after the Tykes were alleged to have fielded an ineligible player earlier in the competition.
ECB chief executive David Collier has pencilled in a meeting of the cricket disciplinary commission later this week when Yorkshire's apparent misdemeanour will be addressed.
With thousands of fans already in their seats at the Riverside in anticipation of Monday evening's quarter-final between the counties, it was announced by the ECB that Yorkshire were under investigation for fielding an ineligible player, Azeem Rafiq, in their decisive group match against Nottinghamshire. As a result, the match was immediately postponed and perplexed supporters were left to make their way home.
Collier claimed the incident stemmed from Yorkshire's failure to register Rafiq as a first-class player while - despite the fact the 17-year-old has captained England Under-15s and played at other age groups - there have been questions asked about his British nationality.
"The panel has wide-ranging powers and that can lead into all sorts of areas - whether that be fines, disqualification, replaying the match, it is up to the panel to determine," Collier said.
Rafiq was apparently eligible to play for Yorkshire at every level below the first team.
There appears to be a precedent for the current situation after Gloucestershire and Worcestershire were ordered to replay a match in which the latter had fielded an ineligible player.
Yorkshire's director of professional cricket Martyn Moxon suggested the ECB had been informed of the mix-up within days of the match against Notts in which victory for Yorkshire clinched their place in the last eight of the competition.
But Collier is adamant the matter only came to light when officials at the ECB spotted the error this morning.
"I don't think we could have done any more than what we've been doing," he told Sky Sports 1. "It has been a mad rush. The worst would have been to just ignore it and act as though nothing had happened and let the game go ahead with the knowledge that the game may well have to be replayed."

Euh, I know I can't...
I know I can't "cut/paste" a file or a folder in Tiger. A filename, sure but not a whole file nor a folder.
OK, my bad...
You can "copy/paste" (make a duplicate of the file or the folder) in the Finder but I can't "cut/paste" (move the file or the folder).
No, you can.
You have obviously never actually tried this. I just checked on my old 10.4 machine that I keep around to check older features. You can copy and paste files and folders just fine, it's a standard feature since at least 10.4, probably earlier.
No. You are wrong.
I registered just to reply to your assinine comment.
No, you can't
No, you can't
No, you can.
Chas is probably cutting and pasting himself down the toilet about now.
No, you can.

CATAWBA COLLEGE: A Strength of Tradition
The vitality of Catawba College lies in its tradition of strong academic programs; sensitive, concerned but demanding faculty; diverse students who share a seriousness of purpose; successful, loyal graduates and informed, committed trustees.
BUILDING THE TRADITION: History of Catawba College
Catawba's tradition extends back to its establishment in 1851 in the town of Newton, a center of commerce in the foothills of western North Carolina. This region had been settled by hardy German pioneers who had traveled in the 1740s from eastern Pennsylvania to settle in the valleys of the Haw, Yadkin, and Catawba rivers. Bringing with them a strong cultural and religious heritage, these pious settlers established the North Carolina Classis of the Reformed Church in 1831 and shortly thereafter in 1834 established an Education Society to send young men to certain northern schools of the Reformed Church so that they might be educated and return to serve in the ministry.
This tradition of placing a high value on education made itself felt again in the meeting of the Classis at St. Matthew's Arbor in 1848 where it was suggested that the Education Society "found a college of our own in our own midst." Bearing the name of the Indian tribe which had already lent its name to the county and the river flowing nearby, Catawba College opened in 1851 with a gift of ten acres of land and a capital investment of $15,000. The years that followed were filled with a fair level of prosperity for the growing institution, reflecting the economic climate of the area. The Civil War, however, brought drastic changes, reducing the availability of funds and students. During the war years, the College became an academy, operating as Catawba High School from 1865 to 1885. In the latter year, it resumed operations under its original charter
In 1890, Catawba became a coeducational institution, with the first woman graduate completing her studies in 1893. Even with the addition of women to the student body, the College struggled to overcome the ravages and depletion brought on by the war. Responding to the offer of a partially constructed dormitory-administration building and several acres of land in Salisbury, trustee, college, and church officials closed the campus in Newton in 1923 and re-opened in Salisbury in 1925. In 1957, the Evangelical and Reformed Church, Catawba's parent body, merged with the Congregational Christian Churches to form the United Church of Christ, with which the College maintains affiliation. There are, however, no sectarian restrictions at the College; instead, the institution seeks to maintain an atmosphere congenial to all students in search
of truth. Many different religious denominations are represented among the student body with Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, the United Church of Christ, and the Episcopal churches having the largest number of students enrolled.
Catawba seeks to serve the Salisbury-Rowan County community through its programs and services. The Robertson College-Community Center, a facility built as a joint venture with the community over 37 years ago, houses the Shuford School of Performing Arts and showcases musical and theatre productions from the college and the community. Similarly, the college's athletic facilities have been enhanced by the local community and are available to local residents as well as students. Students thus have an opportunity to be an active part of a larger community while they are enrolled at Catawba and find within that community opportunities for interaction, service, and personal development.
Since Catawba opened its doors in the Salisbury community in 1925, it has built a tradition of successful graduates who continue to honor the College by their achievements and enable it through their support to strengthen that tradition with each entering class. These graduates include physicians, attorneys, teachers and college professors, corporate executives, actors and musicians, social workers, and others who contribute to our society in a variety of ways.
Catawba College now has 41 buildings on 276 wooded acres. It is known for its 189-acre on-campus ecological preserve and its 300-acre wildlife refuge. The physical plant is valued in excess of $40 million. Nearly 1,300 students representing over 30 U.S. states and 14 foreign countries attend Catawba. The student body is evenly divided among men and women.
Like the student body, the Catawba faculty is cosmopolitan in nature. It embodies a significant range of opinion and philosophy, founded in studies at many of our nation's leading colleges and universities. Of the 72 full-time teaching faculty employed at Catawba, 89 percent hold the doctorate or terminal degree in their discipline (Ph.D. or M.F.A.).
Catawba seeks to employ faculty members who not only are excellent teachers, but who also have the capacity to guide and challenge students through their interaction with them in clubs, scholastic organizations, and athletic and social activities. Faculty are genuinely committed to the mission of the College which expresses concern for the total development of the student. The ideal faculty-student ratio means that a faculty member is always available to aid and counsel a student and to offer support in the sometimes difficult developmental process. Former students often attribute their success to the fact that faculty members cared about them as persons, not just for their academic performance. Catawba College is governed by a Board of Trustees of almost 48 men and women representing a broad spectrum of leadership from various constituency groups within the College community — businesses and professions, the alumni association, and the United Church
of Christ.

While riding through Oakland yesterday on the way home from work, I noticed the massive cranes at the Port of Oakland silhouetted against the sunset, the trucks hauling containers shipped from all over the world to be unloaded by these modern metal dinosaurs rumbling alongside me on the crowded freeway. Which, if you have seen the tax rates out here, you will know is anything but free. But I digress.
Oakland is a blue collar town. It's not much on upscale dining and trendy boutiques downtown. Gertrude Stein was not altogether inaccurate when she said there is no there there. Especially in City Hall. Yet Oakland survives, an unapologetic collection of concrete and steel built by and inhabited by people who do the work.
While I have zero affection for the modern labor movement and its money grabbing, power seeking, no longer needed to protect workers rights, economically illiterate ways, I have always respected the actual workers themselves. That is to say, those who actually do work rather than slough off hiding behind inane union contracts. The people who fit pipe, weld, hammer together buildings or forge iron and steel and copper; the people who stock the shelves and answer the same question fifty times a day without losing their minds; the people who till the land and harvest the crops; the people who stay home all day with the kids — these are people deserving honor and praise, for without them life as we know it would immediately stop.
Although I'm in the office world now, I put in twenty years at different retail outfits. I grew accustomed to the customers snide comments about my position in life and the looks from relatives wondering when I was going to actually do something with myself. I understood. It is ingrained into our culture that there is a strictly adhered to caste system, one where manual laborers and retailer workers share the bottom rung. Because, obviously, there is something wrong with either your work ability or ethic, otherwise you'd be in a white collar gig.
This came to mind last night while spending some time on Twitter. I noticed unrepentant former pornographer Lee Stranahan was on one of his philosophical/societal musing jags. Whatever. However, this tweet, part of a lengthy dissertation on how the left views labor, stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb:
I am wrong in thinking that a person who works as a pipe-fitter their whole life was less ambitious than someone whose career ascended?
He then added:
I said hard work is a virtue. It's honorable. Beats welfare scams by yards. Don't expect me to worship at alter (sic) of menial labor, though.
At which point, an anything but shrinking violet conservative named Becca had her Popeye moment (for the benefit of you young'uns, this refers to the moment in most every Popeye cartoon when he would exclaim, "That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!", open a can of spinach, and then open a can of whoop ass on Bluto) and fired back:
(M)enial labor? How can you be SO condescending? Trust this: it's harder to be a welder than a corporate executive. I've been both.
At which point the two exchanged a few tweets, Becca noting how she has skills:
I have a bachelors in communications. I chose to go back to school to study welding because I hated corporate life.
And was far happier as a welder than she was in the previous ten years spent as a cubicle warrior in marketing (gulp). Meanwhile, Stranahan was being… well, Stranahan. Becca's parting shot was a classic:
(T)his would be like me calling you a sex fiend, demented pornographer, objectifies women, will do anything for money… Etc. see?
I'm not seeing them exchanging Christmas cards this year.
No, Lee, people who do the work aren't lessers. In any sense of the world. People who treat others condescendingly because of their profession, however…
PS: A final note. Employment in a lower ranked profession does not always indicate lack of ambition. I know a young woman who works at Walmart who in her spare time the past few years has assembled a team to create a sports blog so ambitious and well received the sport's governing body has granted it status equivalent to that of any traditional media branch. So there's that.
PPS: Okay, one more final note. Paul made tents for a living. Jesus was a carpenter. 'Nuff said.
We can't all be Lightning McQueen. Some of us have to be Mater. And, frankly, some of us prefer it that way.

Contract Tower Funding For FY 2014
The FY '14 omnibus appropriations bill filed last night by the House and Senate appropriations committees includes $140 million in full, dedicated and statutorily-protected funding for the contract tower program. The House and Senate must now pass this bill and the President sign it. It is very important to note that this "bill language" requires FAA to spend the full amount on the contract tower program and will protect the program from the battle we had over sequestration cuts last spring.

10 years later: The invasion of Iraq
Friday - 3/15/2013, 5:41pm  ET
The invasion of Iraq, 10 years ago, lead to more than 4,000 American deaths, 32,000 Americans wounded and more than 100,000 Iraqis dead. And, as the anniversary approaches, Americans are once again asking if those costs were worth it.
For the wounded troops, the recovery is often about more than just physical and emotional injuries. It's also about overcoming the stigma often placed on returning trooops.

Take control and protect your vehicle with LoJack
The patented LoJack System includes a small radio frequency transceiver hidden on your vehicle. Each LoJack System has a unique code that is tied into the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). When a theft is reported to the police, a routine entry into the state police crime computer results in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This automatically activates the LoJack System in your car, which emits an inaudible signal. Law enforcement authorities who are equipped with LoJack vehicle tracking units - in their police cruisers and aviation units - are always listening for a LoJack signal. Police use the LoJack vehicle tracking units in their patrol vehicles to track and recover your LoJack equipped vehicle.
This system is currently in place in most police agencies in Northern and Southern California, including Contra Costa County. Several vehicles have been recovered by the Concord Police Department as a result of this Lojack system. For more information on this product, please visit www.lojack.com or contact the Concord Police Department Auto Theft Unit at (925) 671-3030.

Elder care services to help in proper elder care
Generally, when people reach mid sixties capacity of taking care of themselves becomes lower. Mostly, elderly people impaired mobility less thinking power and low energy and these all things make living independently more difficult. At the same time, these days due to the busy schedule children have no time to take care of their elder parents. At this state the elder parents feel neglected by their children and other family members. The condition becomes more painful if the elder parents are sick and need a little bit more care. If, you are an elder parent or children of elder parents then, it is possible you are facing the same kind of the problems. If, yes then, elder care services will be helpful in this regard a lot.
Elder care services are kind of services that are very helpful in caring the old members of the family and elder parents. You may send your elder parents to elder care centers but in case if, your parents are not ready to go to the elder care center then, you may also hire the elder care home services. The elder care services are available for 24hrs in three different shifts of 8 hrs. The elder care services are very helpful in caring elder parents very easily. They not only care the elder parents but also treat them as a friend and listen their all thoughts and try to make them happy in all aspects. In case of emergency the elder care services provider also take the elder parents to hospital that can be a life saving act in case if, there no one was at home.

ZABBIX is an enterprise-class distributed monitoring solution designed to monitor and track performance and availability of network servers, devices, and other IT resources. It supports distributed and Web-based monitoring, auto-discovery, real-time monitoring, SLA assurance, trending, and more.
OpenNMS is the first enterprise-grade network management platform developed using the open source model. The three main functional areas of OpenNMS are service polling, which monitors services on the network and reports on their "service level"; data collection from the remote systems via SNMP in order to measure the performance of the network; and a system for event management and notifications.
Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes, programs, files, directories, and devices on a Unix system. It conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations. It can be used to monitor files, directories, and devices for changes, such as timestamps changes, checksum changes, or size changes. It is controlled via an easy to configure control file based on a free-format, token-oriented syntax. It logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies users about error conditions via customizable alert messages. It can perform various TCP/IP network checks, protocol checks, and can utilize SSL for such checks. It provides an HTTP(S) interface for access.
fping is a ping-like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. fping differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
The NET-SNMP (formerly UCD-SNMP) package contains various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol including an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools to request or set information from SNMP agents, tools to generate and handle SNMP traps, a version of the unix 'netstat' command using SNMP and a Tk/perl mib browser. It was originally based on the Carnegie Mellon University SNMP implementation (version 188.8.131.52), but has been greatly enhanced, ported and fixed and barely resembles the original package anymore.
