International Students do not qualify for financial aid. There are a few small scholarships available after you have completed a minimum of one year full-time study with above-average grades. The average scholarship awarded is between $250 to $500 dollars. Many international students have been awarded scholarships.
Yes, all prospective international students are required to submit Proof of English proficiency. For the TOEFL, IELTS, iTEP, STEP, and TOEIC students must submit a score that is no older than two years old. For the TOEFL, paper-based test must have a minimum score of 450. The interned-based test must have a minimum score of 45. PCC accepts other forms of English proficiency.
All new students, international and domestic, are required to take the placement tests for English and math. Even if you have taken tTOEFL, IELTS, highest level of ESL, etc., you still need to take PCC placement test to determine your eligibility to enroll in specific math and English courses. The placement test compares your skills to those of other students who study at PCC. TOEFL, IELTS, highest level of ESL, etc. scores will not be used as academic placement at PCC. Placement will be determined by your score on PCC's placement test, given after arrival on campus.
The International Student Center accepts students as long as they are 16 years old at the start of classes and have graduated high school. All minors must submit proof of high school completion at the time of applying to the college. Applicants will not receive a PCC I-20 until proof of high school completion has been submitted. If a student is under the age of 16 but has graduated from high school, they will need to wait until they have reached the required age to apply. Minor students should refer to the Guidelines for Applicants Under 18 years old.
All F1 International Students must make full payment no later than the Friday before the first day of classes.
In general, we encourage newly admitted students to arrive at PCC at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester they have been admitted to. Newly admitted students will need to participate in new student events that may last a few weeks. Students are required to follow the schedule provided at the time of admission.
At this time, Pasadena City College does not have an intensive English Language Program. We're currently developing the program and hope to have it up and running for future students in the next few years. All prospective international students are required to submit Proof of English proficiency.
Pasadena does not offer on-campus housing, however the Student Affairs Office (CC105) and bulletin boards around campus post notices for roommates and rooms for rent in the local community. Private apartment living is an option for students who want their own space. Many of our students rent an apartment for six-months to a year at a time often with a roommate or two. It is the responsibility of the student to make their own living arrangements, but the ISC has housing information for students.
Driving and public transportation information is found on our website here:
· Maintain at least 12 units each Fall and Spring semester
· Always receive travel approval from the ISC before departing the U.S.
· Keep track of I-20 program end date (#5 on the I-20 form)
· Maintain a GPA of 2.0 or above
· Do not engage in any sort of employment unless approved by the ISC and/or USCIS
· Always have a valid passport
· Always consult with the ISC in regards to questions pertaining to your F-1 status
Yes. The United States immigration law requires all F-1 students to enroll in 12 units every Spring & Fall semester.
A student may be dropped from a course or receive a grade of "F" for not attending classes. Students must attend ALL class meetings during the first 2 weeks of the term otherwise they risk being dropped from the class. Students should never miss class unless they have approval from the instructor beforehand.
By immigration law you must pursue a "full course of study." This means you need to be enrolled in 12 units to keep your status as an F-1 student. Under certain circumstances, your instructor may withdraw (W) you from class. If this results in you being below 12 units, this will affect your F-1 status. You will lose your status as an F-1 student if you remain below 12 units. Always consult with an academic counselor and the ISC before dropping below 12 units.
International students may work part-time on campus if you have maintained a GPA of 2.5 or above and have completed at least one semester at PCC. There are a limited number of jobs on campus. The money earned from a part-time job on campus should not be considered a major source of your funding for your tuition and living expenses. Remember, one of your admission requirements was to submit a financial statement showing that you have $20,000 USD or more for your tuition and living expenses per year. For authorization to work off campus, CPT, OPT, or employment based on economic hardship must be granted. For more information, contact the ISC.
Contact the ISC immediately to determine the best course of action for you.
You can only get a Social Security Card for employment purposes. Once you are able to work, the International Student Center will write a letter for you to take to the Social Security Office to obtain the Social Security Number.
If you are traveling within the United States, you do not need to make any special preparations and do not need to have any documents signed. However, if you are traveling outside the country, you must have a valid travel signature on your I-20 before you travel. Visit the International Student Center and turn in a copy of the following: Travel request form, ORIGINAL I-20, copies of visa, passport, and the front and back page of your I-94 card, and a print out of all the classes taken PCC, including current classes and future classes for which you have already registered.
All F-1 visa students must have a valid passport at all times. If your passport is going to expire or is expired, please refer to the List of Consulates in the area. Find your consulate, contact their office, and begin the process of renewing your passport. You will also need to bring a copy of your new passport to the International Student Center.
An F-1 visa acts as a key that allows you to enter the U.S. Once in the country, it is not a problem if your visa expires. However, if you leave the U.S. and try to re-enter, you will need a valid F-1 visa. This means you must first apply for a new visa at the U.S embassy/consulate in your home country. It can take between 2 weeks to 3 months to process, so be prepared for an extended visit. If your visa is expired or about to expire and you are traveling out of the U.S., you will need to Renew Your Visa. These documents do not guarantee that you will be granted a visa. Check the website of the U.S. Embassy where you will apply for specific instructions.
To apply for an extension of your I-20, make an appointment with an academic counselor to receive a signed Educational Plan. Complete the New I-20 request form and submit with the educational plan and proof of financial support (original bank statement and Sponsor Affidavit Form) to the ISC.

The Tallahassee offices of the Florida Lottery opened Monday and lottery officials along with the entire nation were waiting to find out who will walk through the door and claim the largest single-ticket jackpot in U.S. history.
One Powerball ticket sold in a Publix supermarket in the Tampa suburb of Zephyrhills is worth $590.5 million. The lucky numbers in Saturday night's drawing were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11. The winner has 60 days to claim the money under state law.
"We don't expect anyone to come forward right away," said David Bishop, deputy secretary of the Florida Lottery. "The winner may not even know they have the winning ticket yet. And if they are smart, they are going to see an attorney and talk to an accountant first."
The winner can claim a lump sum of more than $376.9 million.
Consolation prizes from Saturday's drawing were making people rich, too. Tickets worth $2 million each were sold in New York state and South Carolina. And 33 people in 17 states will pocket a cool $1 million. Six of them were sold in New York state.
In Zephyrhills, 26-year resident Rita Kozina says "everybody knows everybody." That's why she's surprised that she doesn't know who won the Powerball prize.
"Just very happy that someone in our little town won," she says. "Zephyrhills got on the map."
Kozina's brother-in-law bought two Powerball tickets at the Zephyrhills Publix on Saturday. After hearing the news of a local winner, she texted him to make sure that he reviewed his tickets -- and to see if she could share in the winnings. No luck.
Joan Albertson, 64, a Zephyrhills resident and retiree, said she purchased five tickets at a gas station across the street from the Publix.
"I can't wait to find out who won," she said. "I am happy for them. We'll keep buying tickets — just because somebody else here wins doesn't mean we can't get lucky, too."
The jackpot barely beat out Powerball's previous record jackpot of $587.5 million that drew two winning tickets just last year. The largest U.S. jackpot for any game was $656 million from a Mega Millions drawing in 2012 that also was shared.
Powerball tickets are sold in 43 states plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Bonnie Baxter, director of the Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster College, remembers her introduction to the immense inland sea that would become the center of her career.
In preparation for her interview with Westminster in 1989, Baxter, in North Carolina, was unable to find much information on the lake.
"Finally, somebody recommended I read Refuge by Terry Tempest Williams," she says. Williams' book chronicles the rise of the Great Salt Lake in the early 1980s that threatened farms, industries, highways and a wildlife sanctuary that became an emotional anchor for the Utah-born writer. When Baxter's Westminster hosts offered to entertain her while she was in town, she said, "I want to see the Great Salt Lake."
Baxter got the job as a biology professor and continued to explore the lake. And after numerous attempts, she finally made it to the north arm shoreline where artist Robert Smithson was drawn to create his black basalt rock, Spiral Jetty. "That landscape is so Martian," Baxter says. "We came onto pink water with blue skies."
As Baxter researched the lake, she began hearing from scientists around the world who were researching similar habitats. Out of that, the Great Salt Lake Institute, or GSLI, was born. The Institute not only aids research and educates students, but it reaches out to the community.
"We're not an activist organization. We don't file lawsuits," Baxter says. In fact, GSLI's partners include mining corporation Rio Tinto and local environmental groups. "There aren't enough people bridging the gap between the two sides," she says. "The potential for learning and dialog happens at the intersection points." Recently, GSLI took on a new duty. When Dia, a New York–based foundation that holds the lease on the land under theSpiral Jetty, renegotiated the lease last year, GSLI became a partner with Dia and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in protecting the landart.
Now Baxter is trying to figure out why many Utahns have so little love for their big lake. "I think local rejection of the Great Salt Lake is historical," she says. "Pioneers were living on arid land next to a huge body of water that you couldn't drink out of and had no fish. That developed a cultural emotion against the lake."

Where are the photographs?
One hundred years ago, on May 14, 1909, Alexander Graham Bell wrote to Charles D. Walcott, then Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, detailing his plans to donate C. H. Claudy's photographs of the Wright brothers' 1908 Army Trials at Fort Myer, Virginia.
This historically profound two-page letter speaks for itself
In this short letter, Bell provides historians a virtual treasure trove of key words, "Aerial Experiment Association", "Lt. Thomas Selfridge" (for whom Selfridge Field in suburban Detroit is named), "C. H. Claudy", "Eastman", "Winfield Cline", as well as "Orville Wright", "Charles D. Walcott", and "Alexander Graham Bell". Bell also notes that he is shortly taking an extended tour of Europe (of interest to biographers), and thoughtfully provides us his forwarding address while there.
Also of note are the markings on this letter. They give us a detailed `biography' as it were, of the letter itself. We see that the letter was stamped `Received' by the Smithsonian on May 17, stamped again by `R.R.' on the 19th, answered on the 20th of May, and then turned over to the Registrar's Office, where it has since resided throughout a very tumultuous century.
This letter is now stored in a set of bomb-proof and fireproof safes, along with other papers and accession files which document the legal title, the provenance and the significance of the roughly 57,000 objects in the Museum's collections.
The Wright brothers' 1909 Military Flyer itself is on display at the National Air and Space Museum, in the Early Flight gallery on the ground floor.
Gregory K. H. Bryant is Museum Registrar in the Office of the Registrar at the Smithsonian, National Air and Space Museum.
Tags: 1909, Bell, Fort Myer, History, letters, Wright, Wright brothers
Where are the photographs?
I believe the photographs were eventually incorporated into the Archives of the National Air and Space Museum.

Concordia Rematch Highlights Hall Of Fame Weekend For Men's Volleyball
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE STATS l SAM SHWEISKY INTERVIEW WITH OFF THE BLOCK
The Princeton men's volleyball team will try to avenge an early-season loss to Concordia Friday night when it starts a weekend in Springfield, Mass., at the 2014 Hall of Fame Classic.
Princeton will take on Concordia at 6 pm Friday in the first semifinal. The winner takes on either host Springfield College or UC Santa Cruz in the Saturday evening championship match, while the other two teams will play in the consolation match.
The weekend gives Princeton an opportunity to develop a winning streak and some necessry momentum before a crucial two-week stretch when it plays six straight EIVA home matches. That stretch begins Feb. 25 against Rutgers-Newark, and will include matches against Penn State (Feb. 28) and Harvard (March 8).
Concordia won the first meeting, though it came in Princeton's second match of the season. The Eagles held off a late charge for a 15-13 win in the fifth set. Senior Pat Schwagler led Princeton with 20 kills and nine blocks during the match, while sophomore Devin Stearns added 14 kills and hit .429. Junior middle Will Siroky recorded 11 kills and seven blockss, and he hit .529 for the match. Both Cody Kessel and Junior Oboh added seven kills apiece, while Oboh posted a rare double-digit block performance (10).
Junior libero Tony Ensbury matched his career high with 17 digs, while senior Davis Waddell added 26 assists in the match.
A potential Princeton-Springfield final would bring together former EIVA rivals, though Springfield moved out of the league with the EIVA became a Division I conference only. Springfield is the reigning two-time Division III national champion, while Concordia is the reigning NAIA champion.

In the over 60 years since the establishment of the
State of Israel, sports have played an increasingly important role in
the development of the country both at home and on the international
stage. Despite its small population, Israel's athletes such as tennis
star Shahar Pe'er and soccer player Yossi Benayoun regularly make an impact and a name for themselves. Israeli sports teams have also found success abroad, most notably the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club,
which has established itself as one of the best teams in Europe over
the last decade. Israel's national teams have also been improving, with
the soccer and basketball teams achieving impressive results.
Outside of the professional arena, sports have always been a
significant pastime for hundreds of thousands of Israelis. With miles of
beautiful coastline on the country's western border it's no surprise
that an estimated half of the population swim regularly. The many months
of warm weather encourage Israelis to enjoy outdoor sports, and a
competitive attitude ensures youngsters become involved in dozens of
different sporting activities from a young age.
Soccer just edges basketball as the most popular sport in Israel. The professional soccer league, with 12 teams in the top Premier League division, is followed closely in the media and attracts crowds of up to 20,000 people at games. After half a decade at the top, Maccabi Haifa's era of unrivaled success appears to be waning, with Betar Jerusalem taking over, having won the league championship for the first time in nine years in May 2007.
Israeli clubs continue to outdo themselves in European competition. Israeli clubs continue to outdo themselves in European competition. Over the past few years Maccabi Haifa has performed the best, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2003 and 2010.
Israeli soccer players are having an increasing impact on the world stage, with 20 Israeli soccer players currently playing in top European clubs. In the summer of 2007, Israel captain Yossi Benayoun moved to Liverpool FC and defender Tal Ben Haim to Chelsea, while in January 2008, Tamir Cohen joined Bolton Wanderers.
In basketball, Maccabi Tel Aviv are the kings of Israel, winning nearly every league championship. In recent years, however, new challengers have arisen. In Europe, Maccabi scored several achievements in the Euroleague Final Four, having reached the final in 2006 and 2008 and won the competition in 2004 and 2005. In 2009, former Maccabi player Omri Casspi made history as the first Israeli to play in the NBA, after he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings.
Hapoel Jerusalem has also had success in the European arena, competing in the ULEB Cup, a competition it won in 2005. The national basketball team has also established itself as a force to be reckoned with. In 2009 it again qualified for the Biannual EuroBasket championship, an event it has participated in since 1993.
Women's basketball is popular in Israel, with two teams - Elitzur Ramle and Anda Ramat Hasharon - regularly battling for the league title. The two also compete in European competition. Female player Shay Doron has, in fact, made one of the biggest impacts of all Israelis after she became the first Israeli to play professional basketball in America in 2007, playing for the New York Liberty in the WNBA.
In recent years Israeli tennis players have become a fixture at the world's biggest tournaments. Teenager Shahar Pe'er broke into the world's top 20 in 2006 and performs well at WTA-ranked tournaments around the world, including reaching the finals of the Australian Open in 2008 (doubles).
Doubles pair Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich have also established themselves as one of the best in the world, winning the 2008 Australian Open and staying in the world's top 10 for years. Ram has also excelled in the mixed doubles competitions, twice winning Grand Slam events at the French Open with Frenchwoman Nathalie Dechy in 2007 and at Wimbledon in 2006 with Russian Vera Zvonerava.
Israel's national Davis Cup team has also performed impressively, reaching the semifinal in 2009 for the first time in its history.
An important factor in the success and development of Israeli sports is the Wingate Institute of Physical Education, the national sports center based in its own grounds close to the city of Netanya in central Israel. The institute includes an elite school for gifted young sports students, as well as the Department of Sports Medicine, a world leader in the field. The Council for Sporting Excellence, which determines which talented athletes will receive stipends to train full time, is also based at Wingate. Numerous Israeli sportsmen and women who have gone on to find success began their careers at Wingate, including Pe'er, Ram, and Erlich.
The Sports Authority of the Ministry of Science, Culture, and Sport sponsors the training of instructors and coaches at Wingate and oversees all sporting activity in Israel, coordinating the activities of the various sports federations and organizations and assisting in the development of programs.
Youngsters playing sports
Sports are of course not only for the outstandingly
gifted. A sporting culture developed from the early years of the state,
with youngsters encouraged to become involved in sports from a young age
to promote both fitness and healthy competitiveness. Each week hundreds
of thousands of young Israelis compete and play in sports ranging from
soccer and basketball to kayaking, sailing, and rock climbing.
A number of major sports organizations run a network of clubs around
the country as well as being affiliated to the major sports teams. The
most well known include Maccabi (established 1912), Hapoel (1923), Betar
(1924), Elitzur (1939), and the Academic Sports Association - ASA
(1953). Schools and community centers also run local leagues and
competitions with the national school basketball and soccer finals
broadcast on national television.
Israel is a sporty nation. On any weekend visitors
will see groups of people playing basketball on outside courts in parks
around the country, going running in the streets, and playing soccer in
the parks. The beaches provide great opportunity for sports. Israel has
the highest per capita number of qualified scuba divers in the world,
with 50,000, attracted by the unique marine life of the Red Sea.
Windsurfing and water skiing are also popular as well as "paddleball", a
locally developed beach game played by keeping a ball in the air by
hitting it from paddle to paddle.
Away from the beaches, long-distance running is also high on the list
of popular sports, with thousands participating in the annual marathon
around Lake Kinneret in the North, beginning and ending in Tiberias, and
triathlon events. Cycling is also very popular and the golf course in
Caesarea is currently embarking on a redevelopment program. In the
winter Mount Hermon in the North has become a beacon for local skiers.
Other popular sports include table tennis, boxing, wrestling,
weightlifting, judo, karate, and a form of self-defense called Krav
Maga, developed by the IDF. Popular team sports include volleyball and
handball, which both have their own professional leagues.
Israel has always prided itself on its Olympic success, but until 2004 had never won a gold medal. That changed when windsurfer Gal Fridman
came first in his competition at the 2004 Athens games. Arik Zeevi also
won a medal at Athens, taking a bronze in the judo competition. In the
2008 Beijing Olympics Shahar Zubari won a bronze in men's sailboard.
Previous medal winners include Yael Arad and Oren Smadja (silver and
bronze in judo in Barcelona, 1992) and Michael Kalganov (bronze in
kayaking, Sydney, 2000). Pole vaulter Alex Averbukh never won an Olympic
medal but won bronze and silver medals at the 1999 and 2001 World
Athletics Championships, and the gold medal at the 2002 and 2006
European Athletic Championships.
Every four years Israel hosts its own version of the Olympics - the Maccabiah Games,
which since 1932 has brought together thousands of Jewish athletes from
all over the world. It is one of only seven worldwide competitions
recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Participants compete
in events including soccer, basketball, table tennis, and netball and
attend an impressive opening ceremony at the National Stadium in Ramat
Gan. Many top Jewish athletes have made their names at the Maccabiah,
including American swimmers Mark Spitz, who went on to win an
unprecedented seven gold medals at the 1972 Olympics, and Lenny
Krayzelburg, who swam at the 2004 Athens games.
has had success in disabled sports, winning medals at the Paralympic
games and giving disabled athletes an opportunity to excel. Israel took
42 athletes to the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, competing in
archery, athletics, basketball, cycling, equestrian, rowing, sailing,
shooting, swimming, table tennis and tennis. The team came home with
five silver medals and one bronze. Keren Leibowitz is Israel's most
celebrated Paralympic athlete, having won three gold medals in swimming
competitions in Sydney 2000, three World Championships, and five
European Championships.
The Israel Sports Association for the Disabled (ISAD) conducts a wide
range of activities in many fields, including basketball, tennis,
volleyball, badminton, table tennis, shooting, riding, archery,
swimming, and sailing. The Sports Beit Halohem clubs for disabled army
veterans and the Ilan organization for the disabled through injury and
illness provide numerous activities.

Last year Brach's, my favorite brand for candy corn, surprised us all with new flavor varieties of this iconic fall candy: Milk Maid Caramel Apple and Milk Mail Caramel. I reviewed these last year when I was writing for CandyAddict, and you can see my impressions of them there. I was pleased to find in my local Target that Brach's is continuing the tradition and released a new flavor: Milk Maid Chocolate Caramel Candy Corn.
The candy corn still smells sweet, but now there's a really strong buttery smell to them. The kernels are really pretty to Different shades of
The flavor is very interesting. It's immediately sweet and the flavor is immediately the caramel. It comes across as a very intense, salty, fake, buttery flavor. The cocoa appears in the finish and aftertaste working hard to mellow out the strength of the butter flavor. I know it sounds odd, but this works. The caramel and cocoa flavors match well and neither come across as overpowering. My only criticism is that the caramel has a stronger presence than the cocoa, but I can live with this.
I love candy corn to begin with, so these will be a nice addition to my eating rotation so things won't get too boring.

On the very last, most beautiful day of April 2013, 143 tireless workers put down their frying pans, serving trays, aprons, and hand trucks to feast and be celebrated. From the farthest corners of the Bronx to the Lower East Side, volunteers from food pantries and soup kitchens supported by Catholic Charities Community Services gathered at the Triangle Building of Alianza for the first-ever Volunteer Appreciation Event held in their honor.
The same men and women who, earlier that day, were packing 200 bags of food or scrubbing pots, got the chance to sit down to a catered meal while CCCS staff called out name after name of volunteer chefs, food packers, inventory specialists, and data base managers. In all, 46 program coordinators and long-time volunteers from 14 different programs came up to the podium to receive certificates from Monsignor Kevin Sullivan. Honors were given for years of service ranging from 20 to 36 years, and for those special volunteers who worked "Above and Beyond", as their certificates stated. These included senior Maria Sanchez, founder of St. Anthony's Soup Kitchen in the Bronx, who has been leading the program for 20 years, and young Walter Martin, who uses his free time in between job interviews to work for no less than 4 different pantries.
"We've been wanting to do this for so long" said Jeanne McGettigan, Director of Emergency Food Services. "Monsignor Sullivan and Staci-Jo Bruce, Director of Volunteer Services were the ones who finally made it happen. It was so moving to see all of these generous, hard-working people gathered together in one place. We really are one big team, but we don't often get to see ourselves that way."
Ms. McGettigan said the event organizers were particularly pleased that CCCS staff was able to make these activities completely bi-lingual. Well over 50% of the volunteers in attendance consider Spanish their first language. To make sure that all felt included, everything from invitations, to program cards and presentations by speakers was carried out in Spanish and English. Project Manager Lizaura German emceed and translated as needed. Monsignor Sullivan and Beatriz Diaz Taveras, Executive Director of CCCS traveled comfortably between languages as they thanked the volunteers for their steadfast efforts to beat back hunger in their communities.
Also delivering a rousing speech in two languages was special guest Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez of Washington Heights and Inwood. Remembering how, during his childhood, his own family had sometimes needed food assistance, he told the volunteers that he "didn't think twice" about dedicating Council discretionary funds to the busy CCCS pantry nearby his office.
An additional service award was presented to Christopher Melito of Credit Suisse, recognizing the company's Day of Service, which brought 20 corporate employees to a CCCS food pantry for the day to prepare and demonstrate healthy cooking methods and give pantry customers the equipment to carry out the same practices in their own kitchens.
The feeling in the room was so joyful, and the cumulative effect of hearing story after story of faith in action was so moving, a number of staff and volunteers stated their conviction that this first-ever event should now be considered an annual gathering not to be missed.

The brief was to transform a vacant block into a private and versatile family garden. The key element of the design is the path that begins outside the sun room and encircles the garden, to be used as a child's running, walking or riding path. It crosses a timber bridge over a densely planted dry river bed, which is viewed across the garden from the house. The synthetic lawn is a hardy surface and caters for games, picnics or outdoor entertaining as an extension of the home.

This Saturday's Tour de Fat in Denver to Benefit Bike Denver and Denver Cruisers
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
From New Belgium: New Belgium Brewing's cycling circus, Tour de Fat, is coming back to Denver for one day on Saturday, September 8 at City Park. Tour de Fat rookies and veterans alike are encouraged to grab a bike and join us for a whimsical day of entertainment and two-wheeled revelry, all while raising money for Bike Denver and Denver Cruisers.
For those who haven't experienced Tour de Fat, it is a thrilling rite of passage that includes an unparalleled costumed bicycle parade, New Belgium beer, eccentric entertainment, local food, unusual bike contests and much more.
The Bike Parade begins at 10 am from the West side of City Park, but be there early to register.
The pinnacle of Tour de Fat is the ceremonious car-for-bike trade. At each Tour de Fat, one person becomes the center of the show as he or she gets up on stage, hands over car keys, and pledges to live one year car-free. Tour de Fat is now seeking volunteers to accept the swapper challenge. Each car-for-bike swapper will choose a local bike shop to help them turn their $2,250.00 budget into their ultimate car-replacement commuter bike. The cars will be auctioned by Vehicles for Charity, with proceeds to benefit local cycling organizations.
Swappers are chosen after submitting an application that describes why they are willing to trade in their vehicle for a shiny new bicycle. To submit an entry, go to the New Belgium Tour de Fat Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TourDeFat), click on events and your city of choice, and upload your application video. Applications may also be written and sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
A few tidbits about Tour de Fat:
Start sewing, collecting and dreaming up something to wear as Tour de Fat encourages embracing your inner costume-loving self. Come dressed up to help put on the most colorful, respectful and creative bike parade ever witnessed in each city.
Tour de Fat seeks to leave as small an environmental imprint as possible and composts and recycles waste. Bring only what you need and watch for proper receptacles. We'll do the rest!
All performers grab your attention from alternatively empowered stages decked out in recycled materials; trucks and transport use biofuel sourced from recycled waste oils; and all vendors operate off the grid.
This is a pro-bike celebration, not an anti-car rally. Non-cyclists are more than welcome to join the festivities.

Young Storytellers Foundation After Dark
YSF After Dark was an unapologetically fun evening of performances of scripts written by 5th grade students in the Young Storytellers Program by well-known comedians. At intermission, the students were sent home to bed and the comedians performed stand-up and long-form improvisations based on the student's stories. The evening was hosted by long-time Young Storytellers volunteers, the Sklar Brothers.

8 Foods That Relieve Stress
They may be bright red, but malic acid, a chief component of this summery fruit, acts as a natural astringent to remove surface tooth discoloration, says Dr. Irwin Smigel, president of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics. Fresh, juicy strawberries taste great in any meal—salads, desserts, cereal—and are widely available at farmers markets this time of year, so getting your daily dose is both simple and delicious.
Chewing these lightly abrasive, hard foods rubs plaque and stains off the surface of teeth, says Dr. Matthew Messina, a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. Pop a few almonds for a mid-afternoon snack—they're full of protein, healthy fats, and the crunch you need to get pearly whites.

Goal of Radiation Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer
Radiation treatment is also called radiotherapy. The goal is to use radiation to kill or shrink cancer cells. If you had surgery for early-stage pancreatic cancer (Stage I or II), radiation can help kill any cancer cells that remain in or near your pancreas. If your cancer has spread beyond your pancreas and the nearby areas, your doctor may use radiation to shrink the cancer and ease your symptoms.

Fela Kuti's son's music venue, the new Africa Shrine, was closed by Nigerian authorities last Tuesday morning. According to Fela Kuti's oldest child and co-manger of the club, Yeni Kuti, the family was given a notice on Monday evening, stating that they had 48 hours to "to abate the nuisance and restore the land to a conducive environment." The letter from Lagos authorities held the club responsible for "noise nuisance, illegal street trading, indiscriminate parking, blocking of access roads and obstruction of traffic." By the following morning, the establishment had been permanently closed by the government. Yeni told AFP, "I'm shocked, indignant."
Fela Anikulapo Kuti's original Shrine built in the seventies suffered the very same fate when it was forcibly closed by the Nigerian authorities shortly after his death in 1997.
Femi Kuti & The Positive Force are on tour in America and are collecting signatures at every stop.

Tights may be the go-to for winter weather legwear, but the state in which they leave your numb and frostbitten toes? Not so hot. Layering a pair of socks over them may seem like the obvious solution, but you risk stopping every five minutes to pull them back up once they inevitably slip down.
Keep your tootsies toasty with Bootights, an ingenious marriage of tights and socks. The socks hit different heights depending on your footwear of choice: anklet if you're wearing booties, and mid-calf for knee-high boots. The tights come in an array of knits, from a daring fishnet to cozy cable, but the more traditional need not fear—they also come in basic, office-appropriate styles like opaque black and heather grey.
The socks themselves are moisture-wicking, so your feet will be warm but not (get ready for the cringe) sweaty. One tester loved the socks so much that she cut them off a spare pair so she could wear them with jeans. A bonus: the tights are smoothing and provide control, essentially acting like Spanx for your legs. If you're not one for shapewear, however, consider going up a size.
The weather outside may be frightful...but your feet will be warm and cozy.

Callahan Misses NCAAs By Single Point, Leads Princeton Trio Of EIWA Placers
Clay McEldowney '69 And Eric Pearson '87 Inducted Into EIWA Hall Of Fame
Session One Recap l Session Two Recap
Junior Ryan Callahan fell one point short of his first trip to the NCAA Championships during the consolation semifinal round of the 2013 EIWA Championships. The unseeded Callahan, who defeated two seeds along his weekend journey, fell 4-3 to fifth-seeded Ian Korb.
Korb, who defeated Callahan 10-4 during the regular season, scored first with an early takedown, though Callahan earned an escape and trailed 2-1 entering the second. He chose the defensive position and scored a reversal to lead 3-2, though Korb picked up an escape of his own to even the score at 3-3.
Callahan attempted to ride Korb through the third and earn a winning point for riding time, but Korb escaped in the final 30 seconds to take a 4-3 lead. He fought off Callahan's final attempts and ultimately finished third at the weight class.
Callahan placed sixth after falling to Army's Coleman Gracey, but he capped his best stretch at Princeton with this championship weekend. After winning seven of his final 10 regular-season matches, Callahan took out both the third and seventh seeds during his run to the EIWA podium.
"He went out and wrestled hard all weekend," head coach Chris Ayres said. "I'm disappointed for him that he didn't get the NCAA berth, but I'm proud of the way he competed."
Senior Zach Bintliff became the 27th wrestler in Princeton history to place at the EIWA Championships in three different years. While his quest for the NCAAs ended during Friday's second session, Bintliff still returned to the Eastern podium for the third straight season with an eighth-place finish at 149.
"Zach is a great example for our room of what happens when you work hard and do the right things," Ayres said. "Less than 30 guys who wore these colors have placed at three Eastern championships, and Zach is one of them. His leadership this season for a young team will pay dividends for years to come."
Freshman Scott Gibbons ended his terrific first season with a seventh-place finish at 184. His final match of the season came Saturday morning, as he defeated Bucknell's Robert Marchese 5-3 for seventh place. The victory is the team-best 23rd of the season for Gibbons, who led a freshman class that produced five Eastern starters this season.
"Gibbons was our most consistent wrestler this season," Ayres said. "Both he and the rest of his classmates have now gotten a taste of both this tournament and the college wrestling season. I'm excited to see what Gibbons, and the rest of this class, can do next season."

As we approach the 23rd anniversary of the very first Giant Step club, it's only fitting that we highlight the historic night for this week's Throwback Thursday! Join our President/CEO Maurice Bernstein as he takes us back to September 24, 1990 at SOBs. Were you one of the few that were with us in those early days? Tell us what you remember!
This was the very first flyer for Giant Step. After the success of the Groove Academy shows in the summer of 1990, our goal was to set up a weekly party that focused on the jazz and dance movement that we were familiar with in London. We were very influenced by Dingwall's Sunday party and The Wag Club, which I used to go to when I lived in London and Jonathan Rudnick (Giant Step co-founder) had visited as well.
But we didn't want to just do a straight version of that; we wanted to bring in the elements that were fundamental to New York – one being hip-hop music – so, we decided to mix jazz and hip-hop together. However, there was very little music like that at that time – there was Tribe that was mixing jazz with some of their hip-hop and Gang Starr had just done "Jazz Thing." It was also tough to find DJs who really knew how to play the music and make people dance, plus there weren't really records
I ended up picking DJ Smash who I used go hear at Save The Robots, which was a famous after hours in New York in the 80′s. What I liked about Smash was his amazing music sensibility and knowledge, as well as his ability to mix anything, which is something that British DJs didn't really have the ability to do. He was able to take original jazz records and mix them with hip-hop – exactly what we needed.
We were given Mondays by SOBs because it was a dead night for them. If I remember correctly, our original night had more people working than actual guests. Cool to note: there are in fact a few people who came to the opening who still come to Giant Step parties – Michael July is one of them. A lot of people claim to have been there in the early days, but I remember every single person that was there the first night because there weren't that many of them.

We need to find efficient ways to cope with it, adapt to it and take action to stop it. We note that Climate change is leading to loss of natural resources and makes it difficult to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Climate change has serious consequences not only for ecosystems, but also for human health, job security and social development. Together we can make a difference. We, the children, are leaders of the next generation, will take action, and urge the people all over the world to take action as well with our ?3-Point Plan to Save Our Future.? 1. Put carbon in the museum. We absolutely need to get our CO2 emissions levels down to zero by 2050. The technology for such a CO2-free future already exists. With today?s engineering capabilities we can easily make the transition to 100% renewable energy (without the need for nuclear power) by 2050. 2. Put poverty into the museum through climate justice. In order to stop the predicated warming of 2�C, which the heads of government already promised to do in Copenhagen, a maximum of just 600 billion tons of CO2 can be emitted until the year 2050. If we emit more than this, the temperature will rise higher than 2�C thus causing the ice on Greenland to melt and mean sea levels to rise by as much as 7 meters. 600 billion tons divided by 40 years leaves an allowance of 15 billion tons per year. In 2010, 31 billion tons of CO2 were emitted, more than double the allowance! One of the major problems as we kids see is that it is often the people in the poorer regions who suffer most from the consequences of Climate change. This is despite the fact that they have done the least to cause it. Considering this, we believe that the 15 billion tons allowance of CO2 per year must be fairly shared amongst all the worlds? citizens. For us children there is only one solution: everybody gets the same. This would mean 1.5 tons of CO2 per person, per year. But how does this help to solve the problem of global poverty? On average an American citizen emits around 20 tons of CO2 per year and a European citizen emits around 9 tons. In comparison, people in Africa emit on average only 0.25 tons per year. Our proposal: The people in the rich countries, who want to emit more CO2, must buy the rights from those who emit less. This is our principle for climate justice. With the money that the people in the poorer countries earn they can then invest in agriculture, education, health and more. They will also have an incentive to invest in renewable energy technologies so that they can maintain the right to sell their CO2 emission allowance. This will also stop them from making the same senseless mistakes that we in the West have. 3. Planting 1,000 billion trees. As both a symbolic and a practical action for climate justice it is our goal to plant 1,000 billion trees, or 1 trillion trees, around the world. These trees will absorb an additional 10 billion tons of CO2 every year! While this may sound like an enormous amount, we know that if we work together it is achievable! In China alone 2.7 billion trees were planted in 2009 as a contribution to the UNEP-Billion Tree Campaign. If every person on our earth would plant 150 trees over the next ten years we would reach our target of 1,000 billion trees by 2020. And if it?s not possible for a country to plant trees in its own area, it can support the planting of trees in southern countries. With a bit of effort our target is definitely achievable. Of course we know that we can?t stop Climate change just by planting trees. But by planting 1,000 billion trees in the next 10 years this will help to absorb more CO2 and give us a kind of ?time-joker? or buffer so that we have a bit more time to get our act together and really start reducing our carbon emissions. Considering that from 2009 to 2010 we actually increased emissions by 5%, instead of decreasing them, it is clear that we still have a lot to do. If we continue to increase our carbon emissions by 5% every year we will have used up our 600 tons budget, and caused the climate to rise by 2C, by 2024. Alternatively if we continue with the same rate of emissions as in 2010, we will have hit the 600 billion tons mark by 2029. These statistics are highly concerning and this is why we also consider each tree that we plant to be a symbolic action sending a clear message that we need to take action against Climate change today. While Plant-for-the-Planet is essentially a children?s initiative we know that we will need some help from the adults if we are going to achieve our goals. This is why we have sent our ?3- point-plan? to the heads of governments all around the world. 1,000 billion trees we children cannot manage alone we need help of the adults. But we children have already started and are planting one million trees in every country on earth.

(AP Photo/Elise Amendola) Associated Press photo by Elise AmendolaRavens tight end Dennis Pitta is tackled by Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo on Sunday. BY BARRY WILNER| ap pro football writer Comments FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Oh, brother! John Harbaugh and his Baltimore Ravens set up a family reunion at the Super Bowl, shutting down the New England Patriots 28-13 on Sunday in the AFC championship game. The Ravens reached their first Super Bowl in 12 years, thanks to three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and a defense led by Ray Lewis that made Tom Brady look downright ordinary. Next up for Harbaugh and the Ravens is younger brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers, who beat Atlanta 28-24 earlier in the day for the NFC title. "I don't know if we had a dream this big," John Harbaugh said. "We had a few dreams, we had a few fights, we had a few arguments — just like all brothers." They'll meet in two weeks in New Orleans to celebrate the first brother-vs.-brother Super Bowl coaching matchup. It will be quite a last game for Lewis, the emotional linebacker who will retire after the matchup with the 49ers, who opened as five-point favorites. "This is our time. This is our time," said Lewis, who made 14 tackles Sunday and has 44 in three postseason games after missing 10 weeks with a torn right triceps. Driven by Lewis' pending departure from the NFL, Baltimore's defense stepped up in the playoffs. Brady was 67-0 at home when leading at halftime, but this was no contest in the second half. "We've lost before. It takes a while to get over," Brady said. It also was a first for the Patriots, who hadn't lost an AFC championship game at home. After they had avenged last year's AFC title game loss at Gillette Stadium, many of the Ravens gathered on the field jumping, chest-bumping and whooping before several thousand fans wearing Ravens jerseys — mostly Lewis' No. 52 — who remained in the stands. As in the previous two playoff wins against Indianapolis and Denver, the Ravens (13-6) were brilliant offensively in spots. This might be Lewis' team, but it's also Flacco's, and the quarterback's six road wins are the most in playoff history. "It was pretty awesome," said Flacco, who has eight touchdown passes and no interceptions in the playoffs. "We were here last year and thought we had it but came up a little short. Guys came out in the second half and made plays." Flacco, the only quarterback to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons, was dynamic with his arm and precise with his decision making. Looking much more the championship passer than Brady did, his touchdown throws of 11 and 3 yards to Anquan Boldin and 5 to Dennis Pitta all were perfect. The loss denied Brady and New England coach Bill Belichick a shot at their sixth Super Bowl. They've gone 3-2, losing their past two times in the big game. Instead, it's the AFC North champion Ravens heading to the Big Easy, seeking their second NFL championship. San Francisco has won five. "All these men out there, there might just be only five of us up here, but every man out there sacrificed this year for each other," Lewis said during the trophy ceremony. "And man, we did it, and we're on our way to the Super Bowl. That's awesome." The Ravens have gotten there the hard way — with no postseason bye. Five of the past seven Super Bowl champions took that route. The Ravens also were pushed into a second overtime in frigid Denver last weekend before eliminating Peyton Manning and the top-seeded Broncos. And now they've cast aside the league's most successful franchise of the past dozen years. New England (13-5), which hasn't won a Super Bowl since the 2004 season, had four injuries, the scariest when running back Stevan Ridley, a former LSU standout, was knocked flat by Bernard Pollard in the fourth quarter, forcing a fumble. Baltimore turned that into the final touchdown, on the only short scoring drive it had, 47 yards. Pollard brought Ridley down on an 8-yard run at the Patriots 47 yard-line. The New England running back twisted awkwardly as he fell to the turf, landing on his bottom and knocking the ball loose with his knee in the process. Ridley did not move his legs for a minute or so. The Patriots' training staff and Belichick rushed onto the field to check on him as the officials tried to sort out who had recovered the fumble. Cornerback Aqib Talib hurt his thigh and defensive tackle Kyle Love injured his knee. Backup safety Patrick Chung was helped off the field after one play. The Ravens gained just 130 yards in the first half. Brady guided a 13-play drive to Stephen Gostkowski's 31-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Neither defense yielded a big play, and punters Zoltan Mesko and Sam Koch were the busiest guys on the field. That changed when the teams switched sides for the second quarter. Baltimore again was pinned deep, at its 10, but Flacco led a 13-play drive. Ray Rice, who had an 83-yard run on the Ravens' first play from scrimmage in their wild-card round victory here three years ago, ran left untouched for the TD. Awakened by Baltimore's march, the Patriots staged a long one of their own, 79 yards, aided by a 15-yard personal foul by Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. Wes Welker picked up 24 yards on a short pass, then got free in the right corner of the end zone after a mix-up in the Ravens' secondary, making it 10-7. It was 13-7 by halftime as Gostkowski connected from 25 yards, with New England outsmarting Baltimore several times. Danny Woodhead ran for 7 yards on a direct snap on fourth-and-1 in the drive. Defensive end Paul Kruger — who's good at sacks but not much in coverage — found himself downfield on Aaron Hernandez on what became a 17-yard reception. But Brady made a mental error, not calling timeout quickly enough after a short scramble. So the Patriots didn't get a shot at the end zone, and Gostkowski made his second kick. Shockingly for an offense that scored 557 points this season, that was it for New England. The touchdown by Pitta capped the Ravens' best drive of the game, covering 87 yards in 10 plays and made it 14-13. It started with a 15-yard defensive pass interference penalty.

Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
A modernization of the Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center cafeteria will begin Monday.
During the four-week project, public and staff access to the cafeteria, dining area and Live Well Center will be closed, according to a press release from the hospital.
Meals for visitors or family members will be available during cafeteria retail hours via takeout orders placed with the kitchen. Visitors can also order guest trays as part of the hospital's room service program. Takeout is available during normal cafeteria hours. Room service is available from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Patient meals will continue to be delivered through the existing room service program.
Food options available for takeout include items listed in the "At Your Request" room service menu and hot sandwiches featured as part of the daily grill menu. Pre-packaged sandwich and salad plates, yogurt parfaits and other similar items will be available. Orders can be picked up at the kitchen entrance. Guest trays will be delivered. Credit and debit cards can be used for payment.
Menu options will be posted daily outside of the kitchen, in patient rooms and on each clinical unit.
"The food service staff is prepared to make the temporary transition as convenient as possible for hospital staff and visitors," said Derrick Damm, food service director. "The modernized cafeteria and dining area will enable us to offer a more diverse menu, and both staff and visitors can expect a more enhanced dining experience upon completion of the project."
The area is expected to reopen May 7.

Second-Ranked Crimson Holds Off Gritty Tiger Women's Hockey Squad
A pair of first-period goals and the 18th career shutout for goalie Laura Bellamy led the second-ranked Harvard Crimson to a 3-0 home win over the Princeton women's hockey team Friday night. For the Tigers, who fought hard against one of the top squads in the nation, it was their first ECAC contest since early December.
Princeton also welcomed back head coach Jeff Kampersal and goalie Kimberly Newell after the pair earned the silver and gold at the Women's U-18 Championships. Newell had her work cut out for her and held up well, making 40 saves on 43 shots through nearly 54 minutes of game action. She kept the game scoreless until Harvard's Michelle Picard scored 6:49 into the opening period.
Harvard, which improved to 12-1-1 with the win, doubled its advantage minutes later, when Kalley Armstrong took a pass from Dylanne Crugnale and scored at the 11:36 mark.
Princeton, which fell to 6-11-2 in the loss, kept the Crimson within reach for the next 30 minutes, but it was unable to get a shot past Bellamy. Crimson senior Jillian Dempsey finally moved the score to 3-0 early in the third, and the Crimson defense did the rest.
Princeton was outshot 45-20, though the Tigers improved their shot total in each period. Kelly Cooke had a team-high six shots for the Tigers, who will head to Dartmouth Saturday at 4 pm. The Big Green won a 3-1 showdown at Baker Rink earlier this season, though Princeton skated out of Thompson Arena with a 2-1 victory last season.
At this point of the season, every game is a crucial one for the Tigers, who are two points ahead of Brown for the eighth spot in the ECAC standings. Princeton could pick up two points on sixth-place Dartmouth with a road win tomorrow afternoon.

Reviews for Gingered Beef and Red Peppers Stir Fry
"I used a frozen 24 oz. bag of stir-fry Asian style vegetables and followed the directions on the bag for cooking the vegetables. I also used ground ginger so that flavor was not as pronounced. I enjoyed it and would like to try it again with fresh ginger."
"this a very quick way to put a fancy delicious dinner on the table and get vegetables into a husband at the same time"
"Tastey! I didn't have snap peas so I used 1/2 a yellow onion & peas instead."
"This is a delicious and easy recipe that my family loves. I usually make way more than the recipe calls for and there are NEVER and leftovers. It's a great alternative to calling ahead for Chinese take-out."
"made this for dinner last night, omg this was soooo good!! next time when I make this I'm going to add water chestnuts and broccoli and triple the sauce to put over the rice. Very fast recipe to throw together."
