Nero, 13 October 54 - 9 June 68 A.D.
Nero considered himself an artist, perhaps he was and took an interest in his coinage - the sestertii of Nero are considered by many to be the finest numismatic art of the Roman Empire.RB84073. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC I 443 (S), Mac Dowall WCN 428, Giard Lyon 119, BnF II 83, Cohen I 262, BMCRE I -, Hunter I -, SGCV I -, VF, fine style, excellent portrait, attractive brown toning, obverse slightly off center, some light corrosion, weight 25.990 g, maximum diameter 35.0 mm, die axis 180o, Lugdunum mint, 65 A.D.; obverse NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P, laureate head left, globe at point of neck; reverse Roma seated left on cuirass and shields, wearing helmet and military garb, Victory in offering wreath in her right hand, her left hand resting on parazonium at side, right foot drawn back and resting on helmet, S - C flanking across field at center, ROMA in exergue; $1450.00 (�1290.50)
Macrinus, 11 April 217 - 8 June 218 A.D.
Macrinus was Praetorian Prefect for Caracalla but arranged Caracalla's assassination and seized power. He and his son were accepted by the senate. The Syrian legions, inspired by Julia Maesa, Caracalla's aunt, revolted after he concluded an unfavorable peace with the Persians. He was defeated and executed.SL84525. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC IV 139 (S), BMCRE V 120 var.

Roman Republic, M. Plaetorius Cestianus, 69 B.C.
The moneyer, M. Plaetorius Cestianus, was from Praeneste, in Latium, 23 miles east-southeast of Rome, home of the great temple to Fortuna Primigenia. Her sanctuary was an immense complex of buildings rising up the hillside on five vast terraces, connected with each other by grand staircases, visible even from the sea. The reverse likely depicts a pediment in the sanctuary. The epithet of Primigenia means "Original." She was represented suckling two babes, said to be Jupiter and Juno, and she was especially worshiped by matrons. The oracle continued to be consulted down to Christian times, until Constantine the Great, and again later Theodosius I, forbade the practice and closed the temple.SH76980. Silver denarius, BMCRR Rome 3524 (same wheel control); Crawford 405/1b; Sydenham 800a; SRCV I 340, F, banker's mark, weight 3.563 g, maximum diameter 19.5 mm, die axis 135o, Rome mint, 69 B.C.; obverse diademed and draped bust of Fortuna Primigenia right, hair in net, wheel (control symbol) behind; reverse temple pediment, ornamented with sculpture of an anguipede (snake legged) giant holding a club(?) in his left hand, M PLAETORI (AE ligate) on the architrave, CEST S C in exergue; very rare; $720.00 (�640.80)
Julius Caesar, Imperator and Dictator, October 49 - 15 March 44 B.C.
This coin declares Caesar as dictator for the second time, consul for the third time, augur and pontifex maximus. The head of Ceres refers to the grain producing wealth delivered to Rome by his victory in Africa. The D (and on similar coins an M) indicates this type was struck to be distributed as a donativum (largess) or munus (gift) to his legions. Some may have been distributed at Caesar's quadruple triumph celebrated in 46 B.C., when celebrations included public banquets, plays and gladiatorial games, lasting forty days. Vercingetorix was paraded and executed. Also in 46 B.C., Caesar made his nephew Octavian his heir. Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Caesar's mistress, and Caesarion, his bastard son by her, moved into one of his residences on the Tiber. They would remain in Rome as Caesar's guests until his assassination on 15 March 44 B.C.

Roman Republic, Sextus Pompeius Magnus, 45 - 44 B.C.
This type was struck while Sextus Pompey was free-booting in Spain following the Battle of Munda. Pietas was the Pompeians' battle cry at Munda and the reverse type refers to his vow to avenge the deaths of his father and elder brother. Babelon and Grueber interpret SAL as salutatus. Crawford and Buttrey identify it as a mintmark for Salpensa, but David Sear points out that such a prominent mintmark would be unprecedented on a denarius of the period and seems to be an integral part of the legend.RR77515. Silver denarius, Buttrey Pietas Type 4 (6/D); Crawford 477/3a; Sydenham 1042a; Sear CRI 232b, RSC I Pompeia 13, gF, attractive old cabinet tone, banker's marks, light bumps and scratches, weight 3.331 g, maximum diameter 19.2 mm, die axis 90o, uncertain Hispania mint, 45 - 44 B.C.; obverse SEX MAGN PIVS IMP SAL, bare head of Cnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great) right; reverse Pietas standing left, palm branch in right hand, long scepter transverse in left hand, PIETAS downward on right; From the Andrew McCabe Collection, Roma Numismatics auction 23, lot 372, ex Gemini auction X (13 Jan 2013), lot 261, ex Randy Haviland Collection; very rare; $640.00 (�569.60)
Galba, 3 April 68 - 15 January 69 A.D.
The pileus liberatis was a soft felt cap worn by liberated slaves of Troy and Asia Minor. In late Republican Rome, the pileus was symbolically given to slaves upon manumission, granting them not only their personal liberty, but also freedom as citizens with the right to vote (if male). Following the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., Brutus and his co-conspirators used the pileus to signify the end of Caesar's dictatorship and a return to a Republican system of government. The pileus was adopted as a popular symbol of freedom during the French Revolution and was also depicted on some early U.S. coins.SH84074. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC I 388 (S), BMCRE I 70, Cohen I 112, Cayon I 54, SRCV I 2118 var. (laureate head right), Hunter I 23 var.

Gallienus, August 253 - September 268 A.D.
Virtus is the personification of valor and courage. Valor was, of course, essential for the success of a Roman emperor and Virtus was one of the embodiments of virtues that were part of the Imperial cult. During his joint reign with his father, Gallienus proved his courage in battle; but his failure to liberate his father from Persian captivity was perceived as cowardice and a disgrace to the Emperor and Empire. It was not, however, actually fear that prevented a rescue. While others mourned Valerian's fate, Gallienus rejoiced in his new sovereignty.RB76153. Orichalcum sestertius, G�bl MIR 38dd, RIC V 248, Cohen V 1293, Hunter IV 33, SRCV III 10495, Nice gVF, excellent portrait, green patina, tight flan cutting off much legend, weight 10.962 g, maximum diameter 25.3 mm, die axis 0o, Rome mint, 253 - 255 A.D.; obverse IMP C P LIC GALLIENVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right; reverse VIRTVS AVGG (valor of the two emperors), Virtus standing left, wearing crested helmet and military garb, right resting hand on grounded shield, inverted spear vertical behind in left, S - C flanking across field; $630.00 (�560.70)
Sabina, Augusta 128 - c. 136 A.D., Wife of Hadrian
Pudicitia, modesty and chastity, was for Romans the highest regarded female virtue. For an unmarried girl, pudicitia meant virginity. For a wife, it meant faithfulness and devotion to her husband. Romans loved the story of Arria, an ultimate example of Roman pudicitia. When the emperor Claudius ordered her husband Paetus to end his own life, he hesitated. Arria took his dagger and stabbed herself to set an example, saying, "Paetus, it doesn't hurt."SH73695.

Tiberius, 19 August 14 - 16 March 37 A.D.
In 36 A.D., Herod Antipas suffered major losses in a war with Aretas IV of Nabataea, provoked partly by Antipas' divorce of Aretas' daughter. According to Josephus, Herod's defeat was popularly believed to be divine punishment for his execution of John the Baptist. Tiberius ordered Vitellius, the governor of Syria, to capture or kill Aretas, but Vitellius was reluctant to support Herod and abandoned his campaign upon Tiberius' death in 37.

Securitas stands perfectly at her ease, with legs crossed and leaning on a column, clearly relaxed, having nothing to fear. Macrinus was praised for restoring security by eliminating the fratricidal son of Severus, long feared as the most cruel tyrant of Rome, beloved only by a venal soldiery, whom his largesses had enriched.SH77277.

Summary SOCO-VET aims to develop modules to train social, methodical and personal competencies in VET. The modules will imply skills, social and behavioural components including attitudes, values and motivations. The trainers will be able to train necessary competences by using the respective tools that will be compact, effect and situation oriented, authentic and practicable. Flexible and authentic training modules with special methods and tools to use by training key competences do not exist yet or at least they are not applicable for VET trainers. SOCO-VET will develop and improve social competencies and total quality management values like teamwork, participation in decision, openness to change, self initiative, tolerance to cultural, religious and personal differences, creative and critical thinking, conflict management, share common values with others, motivation and self-awareness and -confidence. Assessment and certification tools for validation and certification of key competences are also a further objective. The project focuses on the need to provide the trainers with tools and methodologies in order to be able to train social competences including materials to use in training. The direct target groups of SOCO-VET are teachers and trainers in the field of VET and educational staff of SMEs.

"Hannity & Colmes," the longest-running program on the Fox News Channel, will soon be without Colmes.
Alan Colmes, 58, the liberal half of the 9 p.m. show, will leave his daily hosting duties at the end of the year, the network announced Monday.
While the network remained quiet about its plans for the political debate program, two people close to the network said that Sean Hannity, 46, Mr. Colmes's conservative counterpart for the last 12 years, would become the sole host of the hour. The people requested anonymity while speaking about private deliberations.
Mr. Colmes's departure, coming as a Democrat prepares to take over the White House, is a sharp change to the prime-time lineup of Fox News, a subsidiary of the News Corporation. A Fox News spokeswoman would not confirm that Mr. Hannity would be the sole host.

Where do I begin? I guess I'll begin two weeks ago, when I decided to chronicle my efforts to claw my way out of the cellar in the Motley Fool CAPS community stock-rating experience.
If you're not familiar with CAPS, it's a place where investors pick and pan stocks. You get graded along with your fellow Fools. That may make the service feel like a game, but in reality it's a growing pool of collective market knowledge. In short, it's an engine that will get smarter as it makes you smarter.
I can use plenty of help. I started out two weeks ago with a 0.55 rating, meaning that 99.45% of the CAPS community had amassed better trading scores. I made a few moves, hoping to improve my position, but it didn't help. My rating dropped to 0.51 a week later.
The good news is that I finally began to make some headway. The bad news is that my rating as of last night was only up to 1.35. I still have 98.65% of you to lap to make it back to being Top Fool.
Making moves and taking names
Since my deadweight pruning last week didn't help, I decided to initiate some new positions this week. My first move was to peg Yahoo!
Here's my logic on that particular move. The Microsoft
Yahoo! is going to be sorely tempted to balk at the deal as it drops in value. Microsoft has seen its market value take a huge hit in response to the deal, so it's unlikely to make things worse by sweetening the pot. With no legitimate rival bidder, Yahoo! shares should fall if the company passes on the offer, just a little at first, but precipitously once investors realize that Microsoft isn't likely to come back with a better offer.
Another move I made was to peg Children's Place
However, the retailer revealed yesterday that the company's former CEO has contacted the company about buying it completely. Media reports have the offer at $24 a share. Unlike the Microhoo noise, I see the potential for a bidding war here. At the very least, there appears to be an offer genuine enough to make things interesting.
The other move I made this week was to go long with Ultra Technology ProShares
It wasn't to be. I'm seeing some amazing bargains in the technology blue chips, but I get the feeling I may not stick with this one for too much longer.
Things can only get better
If you're following along on my CAPS page, you'll see how I'm doing even before next week's update. I also made my first blog entry last month.
Since we're now waist-deep in earnings season, I expect volatility in my rankings. I have plenty of picks -- bullish and bearish -- on companies that are set to report next week, including Baidu.com
Am I nervous that Baidu's report is following disappointing performances out of Yahoo! and Google? Not at all. China's Web market growth is not tethered to this country's dot-com fortunes. If anything, it may be the best thing for the company to prove that it's marching to its own drummer -- a better one.
Between now and next week, I'll see you over at Motley Fool CAPS, hoping to shed my starring role as one of the simulation's biggest losers.

Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com has more on this morning's news that the Dodgers were cutting season-ticket prices almost across the board. The price-cutting is an implicit acknowledgment of the flight from Dodger Stadium this year, and what's potentially ironic is that it comes just as the owner who inspired much of that flight, Frank McCourt, continues to see his hold on the team fraying.
The official creditors committee in the Dodgers' bankruptcy case has formally asked Judge Kevin Gross not to approve a premature auction of the team's TV rights, reports Bill Shaikin of the Times, labeling it a "risky proposition" and calling for a sale of the team instead. The committee did ask, however, for a 30-day period before Judge Gross rules, to increase the possibility of a sale strategy that MLB and McCourt could agree upon.
McCourt has become an underdog in the objective sense, he's up against a huge power play at this point. That doesn't mean he can't score, but more than ever, he is facing a situation where in order to retain any ownership, he might have to sell a significant portion of the franchise to potential teammates. And even the viability of that scenario is fading.
In any case, the landscape might change rapidly enough that fans who reduced or eliminated their Dodger ticket purchases in 2011 might have double the reason to amp up their ticket-buying for 2012. You can find a full chart of the price-saving here.

Matt Kemp has been officially announced as the winner of the fan-voted National League Hank Aaron Award for top hitter. From MLB.com:
... Kemp made one of the best Triple Crown bids in recent years, falling just short. In addition to leading the NL in homers and RBIs (126), he finished third in batting behind Jose Reyes and Ryan Braun, at .324. Kemp also led the NL in runs (115) and total bases (353). The 2011 NL All-Star also finished among league leaders in multihit games (57, tied for first), hits (195, second), slugging percentage (.586, second), extra-base hits (76, second), stolen bases (40, tied for second), on-base percentage (.399, fourth) and walks (74, tied for eighth).
Kemp became the seventh player in Major League history to finish the season ranked in the top three in homers, batting average, RBIs and stolen bases in their respective league, joining Hall of Famers Ty Cobb (1907, '09-11), Honus Wagner (1908), George Sisler ('20), Chuck Klein ('32), Willie Mays ('55) and Aaron ('63). In addition, the sixth-round selection in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft was the first Dodger to lead the NL in home runs and RBIs since Dolph Camilli in 1941, and the first Dodger in history to lead the NL in homers, RBIs and runs scored....
I meant to do some research on World Series that were tied after four games, but Cliff Corcoran of SI.com beat me to it. "Remarkably, though a tie-breaking win in the fifth game of a best-of-seven series puts the victor just one out away from a series win, just two-thirds of the teams that have won a tie-breaking Game 5 in a best-of-seven World Series (26 of 39) have gone on to win the series, and just three of the last nine teams to break a Series tie with a Game 5 win went on to win the championship," Corcoran found.
I found this anecdote from Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about former Cardinals closer Ryan Franklin poignant:
... Franklin attended Sunday's game as a guest of general manager John Mozeliak. "He made quite a commitment to our organization," Mozeliak said. "It was very important to him to remain part of this club. And I think that was reflected in the way we worked with each other." Mozeliak frequently sought Franklin's input on rival personnel during the pitcher's 4 1/2 seasons with the club. The two have remained in contact since Franklin's release June 30 and Mozeliak has broached the possibility of Franklin rejoining the organization in another capacity. "It's definitely something I would think about if I decide I'm done" playing, Franklin said. As for watching the team he was a part of compete for the World Series championship, Franklin admitted, "I feel connected in a way, especially to guys like (Jason) Motte and (Mitch) Boggs. It's fun to watch but it's also tough to watch." Franklin hasn't shut the door on playing again but admits he is leaning toward retirement. "I know if it started tomorrow I'd be leaning toward staying around the house," Franklin said. "It was pretty neat to be able to take my kids on their first day of school. My wife thought so, too."
Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge will become free agents with the Phillies buying out their 2012 options, but if you're looking for the most fun ex-Phillie pitcher to consider, consider one Jamie Moyer, who turns 49 next month. Moyer will be more than a year removed from Tommy John surgery when Spring Training starts in 2012.
