Can I take this course with the AOL browser?
You can take the course with any browser of your choosing, but we do not support the AOL browser.

Do I need to use a PC? What if I have a Macintosh?
If you have a MAC you can still sign on to take any of our classes. Many of our customers have taken their courses on a MAC and had no problems whatsoever. However, be aware that our technical support team may be unable to assist you should you encounter technical difficulties. They do not have MACs or MAC experience and therefore may be unable to replicate any problem you may encounter. If you have a MAC, you will need the latest version of internet explorer as well as the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.
Do I need to have sound on my computer to take these classes?
While sound is another feature of our courses, it is not necessary for a customer to have sound in order to learn the course material or complete the course. All information played in audio is also displayed in text by the course player.
How do I get a username or password? What do I use it for? What should I do if I forget it?
The username and password is something that is selected by the student at the time of course registration. It should also be something that they can easily remember. We suggest the student use their email address as their username ID. Students will use the same username and password each time they attempt to log in to the virtual university page to access their course. This information is entered in the returning students section on the home page of the virtual university.

Texas had most weather-related insurance claims in first quarter
Austin Business Journal
Mostly because of hailstorms in the Austin area and the Hill Country, Texas led the country in insured catastrophic losses during the first quarter, the Insurance Council of Texas said Wednesday.
According to the Insurance Services Office Property Claims Services unit in Jersey City, N.J., Texas led all other states with $565 million in weather losses from Jan. 1 through March 31. California's wet weather placed it at a distant second for catastrophic losses, with $275 million.
The Insurance Council of Texas estimates that insured losses from storms in the Austin area will amount to about $140 million once all the claims have been settled.
On March 25, a cold front triggered several thunderstorms that packed high winds and large hail, striking portions of the Austin area and the Hill Country. Council spokesman Mark Hanna says those storms resulted in about 40,000 insurance claims
