Cape Town - Search beneath/at the end of the rainbow
Cape Town – the stuff of Sunday painters' dreams. A turquoise ocean at the foot of Table Mountain, shimmering velvet beaches, the Cape of Good Hope in the early morning light. Boundless beauty and harmony with a dash of colorful African culture.
The city's many galleries reflect precisely this mix. Joyous, exotic, decorative Ethno-style African art is popular, especially with tourists – the rainbow nation on canvas, a dancing water bearer, maybe a wild lion thrown in for good measure. But the real world of African art looks very different.
"There are far too many pretty pictures here," says Dathini Mzayiya. The young painter is sitting amid the tidy chaos of his studio in Cape Town. The floorboards are spattered with paint; gloomy colors and strong brushstrokes dominate his canvasses. Dathini Mzayiya probably knows what kind of art would earn him pots of money; he knows what the mass market wants. But he refuses to pander to popular taste: "I paint what I see and what I think is important."
Mzayiya belongs to a generation of young South African artists, who are turning against all the clichés, preferring at last to speak for themselves. Like his fellow painters at the Gugulective artist collective, named after Gugulethu, one of the oldest black townships in Cape Town, Mzayiya can see the cracks forming behind Cape Town's pleasant facade, the ruptures and dissent, and this is what he wants to draw attention to. "The city is searching for an identity of its own. It is accused of not being African enough, but Africa is in Cape Town and Cape Town is in Africa."
The pictures produced by the Gugulective are uncomfortable; They depict life in the townships on the edge of the city – sometimes amusing, sometimes sobering, never embellishing. And Gugulective is not alone in its efforts. Take the South African photographer Pieter Hugo, for example, who is currently taking the international market by storm with his sensitive compositions of scenes of everyday African life. Hyena men in Nigeria, honey gatherers in Ghana, scouts in Liberia: His pictures offer intimate insights into people's lives without any of the voyeurism often typical of the white observer.
Hugo's photos can be viewed at the Stevenson Gallery, which has been making its mark on the Cape Town art scene ever since it opened in 2003. "We have 20 artists under contract," says the gallery's curator Sophie Perryer, "among them, some of the country's best known, such as the photographers Guy Tillim and Bernie Searle and versatile upcoming artists like Nicolas Hlobo and Nandipha Mntambo."
Most buyers come from abroad and contemporary South African art is hotter than it has ever been. Today it has its place at all the major art fairs around the world. "Demand has been steadily growing since the end of apartheid, and especially in the past few years," says Perryer. The works of South African artists reveal much more maturity these days, she explains. "Compare them with those of the rest of the international market and you can see that African artists still have real problems to contend with. Artworks from Europe and North America may be brilliant and highly professional, but they often seem flat and lacking in energy by comparison."
Sophie Perryer knows what she's talking about. She is the author of the book 10 Years 100 Artists: Art in a Democratic South Africa (Struik, Cape Town, 2005, www.struik.co.za ), one of the best reviews of modern art on the Cape. "I studied art because I wanted to work as an artist myself," she says, and you can almost hear the wistfulness in her voice as she speaks. But in addition to art, she loved the English language and so spent a few years in cultural journalism and eventually founded the by now probably foremost art journal in the country, Art South Africa (www.artsouthafrica.com).
The Stevenson Gallery is famous for its balanced mix of internationally acclaimed and upcoming African artists, and the Goodman Gallery's collection has a similar focus, which means no collector should willingly miss either. Those who prefer to rely on their own instincts are well advised to pay a visit to the
Association for Visual Arts (AVA). With a little luck, you can purchase for very little money the works of artists who are just starting out in their career. "We allow ourselves the luxury of taking risks," says gallery boss Kirsty Cockerill.
Thanks to the generosity of the gallery's sponsors, young artists can exhibit their works and gain experience here. No gallery in Cape Town offers so many constantly changing exhibitions as the AVA. "The established galleries come to us to spy out the talent," says Cockerill. Dathini
Mzayiya's pictures have had repeated shows here. Cockerill tells how Mzayiya was raised in the Cape Town mega-township of Khayelitsha. "He never attended art school." The AVA is helping him to make a name for himself, and a South African lifestyle magazine recently featured one of his pictures on its cover. "I was constantly drawing in school," says Mzayiya with a shrug.
Today, the young artist, who shares a studio downtown with four friends, is waiting for his breakthrough into the world of large galleries and art fairs. Some of his pictures are reminiscent of Pablo Picasso, others of Franz Marc. "I take my inspiration from daily life, from the people around me and the way they interact with each other, from their body language," says Mzayiya. Again and again, he chooses urban spaces and encounters between different cultures as his subjects.
Apartheid may be over, "but it is as visible today as ever. We still have the same corrugated iron shacks, the city is still divided into residential areas inhabited by difference races, who are separated by highways and rail tracks. We are free, but we still haven't found a common identity. Ignorance rules. These are the wounds we have yet to heal."
The artists aren't likely to run out of material anytime soon. What's more, South Africa is rapidly becoming a window on the entire continent ¬ – and an art center. More and more galleries are signing up artists from other African countries.
"We like to see the big picture and deliberately look beyond our own borders," says curator Sophie Perryer, "for us, the future lies in Africa."

Fifth-Ranked Rochester Tops No. 7 Princeton 6-3 In Road Squash Match
The fifth-ranked Rochester squash team took the top six matches Saturday to post a 6-3 win over the seventh-ranked Tigers during Saturday's 2013 finale for the Princeton men.
The Tigers will now be off before they turn their attention to the Jan. 11 Ivy League opener, and that match provides an opportunity to wipe away every ounce of early-season disappointment. The 2013 Ivy League co-champions, Princeton and Harvard, will meet in Boston for the 2014 Ivy opener for both schools.
In each of the last two seasons, Princeton has pulled out a 5-4 win in this match, with senior co-captain Dylan Ward clinched the match both times.
Princeton put up a good battle against Rochester, which has become one of the top programs in the nation. The Tigers ended the first shift down 2-1, though they got an impressive win from senior co-captain Ash Egan, who didn't drop a game in his win at the No. 9 position.
Ward lost at No. 3, and sophomore Sam Ezratty dropped a pair of two-points games to fall 3-0 at the No. 6 spot. Classmate Michael LeBlanc continued his perfect season, rallying from an early 1-0 deficit to take the final three games at No. 8; he clinched the match in dominant style, winning 11-1 in the fourth game.
Junior David Hoffman fell in four games at No. 5, but the match of the day was going on at the No. 2 spot. Two-time All-America Tyler Osborne was able to get out to a 2-0 lead on impressive freshman Ryosei Kobayashi, but a 12-10 win in the third turned the match Rochester's way. Kobayashi was able to pull out the final two games to put Rochester on the brink of victory.
Reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year Vivek Dinodia did all he could to keep Princeton alive, clawing out a 3-2 win with a thrilling 13-11 win in the fifth game, but it would not be enough. The junior duo of Samuel Kang (No. 1) and Taylor Tutrone (No. 4) both fell in three games to leave Princeton at 2-2 heading into the winter break.
1. Faraz Khan (ROC) def. Samuel Kang (PRIN) 11-8, 11-8, 11-9
2. Ryosei Kobayashi (ROC) def. Tyler Osborne (PRIN) 6-11, 6-11, 12-10, 11-7, 11-2
3. Neil Cordell (ROC) def. Dylan Ward (PRIN) 11-3, 11-4, 11-7
4. Mario Yanez Tapia (ROC) def. Taylor Tutrone (PRIN) 11-3, 11-7, 11-2
5. William Mohr (ROC) def. David Hoffman (PRIN) 5-11, 11-8, 11-7, 11-6
6. Aria Fazelimanesh (ROC) def. Sam Ezratty (PRIN) 11-5, 11-9, 12-10
7. Vivek Dinodia (PRIN) def. Karm Kumar (ROC) 11-8, 11-9, 4-11, 5-11, 13-11
8. Michael LeBlanc (PRIN) def. Meng Xiaomen (ROC) 8-11, 11-4, 11-7, 11-1
9. Ash Egan (PRIN) def. C. Riedelsheimer (ROC) 11-8, 11-6, 11-4

Mother listed in serious condition after stabbing; son arrested
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
A woman was in serious condition at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem after she was allegedly stabbed by her 29-year-old son Tuesday night in Lexington.
Sharon Annette Callicutt, 59, was listed in good condition late Wednesday morning, a hospital spokeswoman said. Her son, Theodore Elliot Motlow IV, of 208 Hillside Drive, has been charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
Officers with the Lexington Police Department responded to 208 Hillside Drive in regard to an assault at 9:34 p.m.
A news release from the LPD stated Callicutt suffered lacerations and stab wounds. An arrest warrant further stated that Callicutt was stabbed by her son in her chest three times and in the neck one time with a knife.
The Lexington Police Department described Callicutt's injuries as not life-threatening. She was transported by paramedics with Davidson County EMS.
Lexington Police Maj. Mark Sink said he could not discuss motive.
"It's still under investigation," the major said.
According to court documents, law enforcement spoke to Davidson County District Attorney Garry Frank. He advised of the assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury charge and decided to let the grand jury determine a possible future charge of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill or attempted murder.
Motlow was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $200,000 secured bond. He has a court date of May 28.

Command Module, Apollo 11
The Apollo 11 Command Module, "Columbia," was the living quarters for the three-person crew during most of the first manned lunar landing mission in July 1969. On July 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins were launched from Cape Kennedy atop a Saturn V rocket. This Command Module, no. 107, manufactured by North American Rockwell, was one of three parts of the complete Apollo spacecraft. The other two parts were the Service Module and the Lunar Module, nicknamed "Eagle." The Service Module contained the main spacecraft propulsion system and consumables while the Lunar Module was the two-person craft used by Armstrong and Aldrin to descend to the Moon's surface on July 20. The Command Module is the only portion of the spacecraft to return to Earth.
It was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1970 following a NASA-sponsored tour of American cities. The Apollo CM Columbia has been designated a "Milestone of Flight" by the Museum.

But...as a conservative and being annoyed at the biased leftist media out there - I do not want to see this kind of bias in a magazine I subscribe to.
I read most of the comments about this situation on your own website where you comment "We Hear You!" So what I would like to know is - do you just hear us or do you consider the comments made and make adjustments to your magazine.
As far as I can see there are a lot of conservatives reading/having read your magazine. To me this is an important issue to consider - probably more important than the rest of the comments. Definitely a first for you to look at changing.
If you plan to continue being biased - please let me know - until I see more positive comments about this issue I will not order the magazine at this time. I will continue to look at your website and see how things go because I truly believe that otherwise I would truly enjoy this magazine.
Thank you for your time!

The Milford High School football team knew coming into its 2012 campaign that there would be growing pains.
With sophomores making up more than half of its starting defense, the Buccaneers were well aware that there would be times they would be outmatched by older, bigger, stronger players.
That's certainly been the case at times through the first seven games of the season, Head Coach Mike Tkach acknowledged following last weekend's 34-7 loss at home to Caesar Rodney High School (6-2, 4-0).
However, Tkach added, that doesn't mean he hasn't seen significant improvement out of Milford (3-5, 0-5) this year, adding that he's optimistic the season can close out on a positive note after the final two games.
"I think [the young players] are getting some quality experience out of this and it will make us better in the long haul," he said. "Our focus right now is we have to shoot for .500, and if we can do that it would be a great accomplishment for this team."
Tkach said when you're playing with such a young roster, the physical maturity differential on the field can prove to be a huge challenge. That certainly was the case for the Riders, who currently sit atop the Henlopen North.
"We knew going in it was going to be a big task, because they're at the top for a reason," he said. "We played with them for a while but then we gave up some turnovers and it hurt us. When you go against a team like that you almost have to play flawless football."
Limiting mistakes and trying to play the closest thing to flawless football that they can will be the Bucs' main focus over the final two weeks of the season, Tkach said.
If it is able to accomplish its goal and finish strong, the coach added, it work wonders for the underclassmen as they prepare for next season, especially as Milford prepares to move back to Division II next season.
"It'd be a huge springboard for us," Tkach said. "It's not like we're going to go into DII and walk all over anyone, but we'll be in a much better situation for our size school."

Microsoft is continuing to improve the way that Windows installed on your PC is up to date, including activation technology. Using a process known as "product activation", Windows Vista associates the license the customer has (represented by the product key) with the PC it is to be used on to help protect customers, Microsoft business partners, and Microsoft from the risks associated with software counterfeiting.
Windows Vista includes technology that can detect evidence of software counterfeiting. For example, Windows Vista is able to detect software that is meant to circumvent Windows product activation. Microsoft refers to software that attempts to work around product activation as "activation exploits."
To help address the problems caused by activation exploits, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), as well as new updates distributed via Windows Update and Automatic Updates, includes activation exploit detection technology and makes it easier for you to remove or repair any activation exploits that are detected. These updates include helpful detailed messages, links to more information and resources, and tools to help remove or repair activation exploits.
If you are experiencing all or some of what's described in the following sections, Windows Vista on your PC may not be genuine. Here's what you might see:
In some instances, you will see messages asking you to repair Windows if an activation exploit is found on your PC. In this case, a detected software code will be shown within the dialog box (for example, SL07-001 or SL07-006). This dialog box provides guidance about the problem, how to fix it, and a link for a webpage with more details.
Some activation exploits can be disabled and removed by the updates included in SP1 and later versions of Windows Vista as well as additional updates available via Automatic Updates and Windows Update. If you haven't already, go to the Windows Update website and follow the instructions to check for updates. If you are not running SP1 or later, the update process will install SP1 and disable the activation exploit without affecting the legitimate programs and data on your system. In addition to disabling the activation exploit, SP1 includes many features and improvements that enhance your experience and can help your PC to run more smoothly.
If you are running Windows Vista SP1 or later, there might be other updates available to help detect additional activation exploits on your PC.
View additional Microsoft updates available for your PC.
If Windows Vista SP1 or other Microsoft updates detected and disabled an activation exploit, then the system will ask you to activate Windows Vista. If you have a genuine copy of Windows Vista, this will only take a few moments. If you're a victim of counterfeit software, Microsoft will provide you with instructions on how to resolve the issue when you activate Windows. To do this, click on the "Activate now" option. After answering a few questions, you'll be provided with instructions for activating your copy of Windows, and you can do this online or over the phone.
If your system had an activation exploit detected by Windows Vista, you might find your desktop background changing to black, immediately followed by a notification asking you to "Activate Windows Now." You will then receive periodic notifications in the lower portion of your screen asking you to activate Windows. To resolve this, click on this notification and follow the instructions to activate Windows Vista. If you have inadvertently received counterfeit software, you will be provided with instructions for getting genuine Windows.

ZF-2147: YAML Deserialization
Add YAML deserialization
We will defer to an extension if it is present.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
This functionality will require a full proposal transitioned through the proposal process.
My apologies since I haven't made clear exactly how the team at Zend views YAML in ZF. Short answer: we'd love to see full support. Long answer: after screwing up by not making our points of concern clear about a year ago, I revisited the common PHP/YAML alternatives. Nothing has really changed in these projects to address our original concerns. Spyc hasn't released a stable version, doesn't support many 1.1 features, and looks nothing like our recommended ZF code (it is php4 compatible, for one). Syck doesn't support 1.1, hasn't reached a stable version, and is not a particularly common extension. In short, YAML support in PHP just isn't that great as far as we can tell. That doesn't mean that we can't have a YAML component that is great for PHP, but the performance of a Pure PHP implementation is a concern. If we did have a Zend_Yaml component, then we'd want to bring value that isn't out there already. Maybe full 1.0 and 1.1 support, for example. The other alternative is to support only the YAML stuff we need for config and translation files. Any opinions or corrections?
Wil: Reading is quite easy. As you know we were not refactoring all XML based adapters on Zend_Config. The reason is that the translation adapters only read the files and these files have to have the correct syntax.
The second reason is that this way we can guarantee that you can use Zend_Translate alone without any other component (except Zend_Cache of course).
All translation adapters use php extensions where possible. I have still the opinion that the translation adapter can be made without being dependent on a second component like Zend_Yaml.
Regarding Yaml itself: As there are several extensions with pro and neg out I would propose that we build a simple and native API and then make adapters for the extensions which we want to use. As base support we could add a own implementation which means, you can decide if you use a extension or pure php. The component itself could detect this.
So I see no problem at all. But I have said this already in past.
I would suggest that if YAML support were to be pursued that it primarily wrap existing extensions in the wild. A native PHP parser is possible but it's performance on anything but small or simple YAML files can be prohibitive. I've used something similar as a last resort, but I've migrated closer to extensions like ext/syck where performance needed improvement.
Thomas, I see your point about Zend_Translate, and supporting a small subset of YAML seems to make sense there if there is a common standard for translation files in this format. The problem with creating adapters to extensions is that there doesn't appear to be an extension with the combination of quality, maturity, and functionality that would allow us to do a top-notch YAML component. Paddy, agreed. Wrapping an extension and either having a hard dependency or a fallback to a pure PHP implementation seems like the right way to go. Problem is: what extension? Any suggestions here?
This issue was implemented in ZF-1.11.
Resolved in 1.11
Hi @ralph
I think that the issue ZF-2148 too can be closed.
Thanks advance.

Photographers Commemorate One-Year Anniversary of Tsunami
This Sunday, March 11, is the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Photographers who have extensively covered the devastation and the environmental and nuclear consequences around the affected region are marking the anniversary in variety of ways. Here are a few of the events:
Black Tsunami
FotoEvidence, the organization that supports photography books on social justice issues, is releasing a new digital book featuring Tokyo-based photographer James Whitlow Delano's documentation of Year Zero, taken in Miyagi prefecture. His somber black-and-white photos convey the epic scale of the damage in a personal, almost poetic way. Black Tsunami is now available in the Apple iTunes store as an iPad app. A preview can be seen on Vimeo.
Dispatch from Tohoku: A Group Slide Show
Sunday March 11, from 7:30 to 9:30, photographer Jake Price's SeenUnseen will be presenting "Dispatch From Tohoku: Documenting the Aftermath," a slide show of work by several photographers who documented the aftermath of the disaster. Tickets are $15, and the proceeds will benefit Art in a Box, which brings supplies to children affected by the tsunami. Curated by Elissa Curtis, Dana Kien and Jamie Wellford, and produced by Price and Emmanuelle Chiche, the slide show includes images by James Whitlow Delano, David Guttenfelder, Kyoko Hamada, Dominic Nahr, Kosuke Okahara, Q. Sakamaki, Munemasa Takahashi and Price, and artwork by Midori Curtis. It will be held at The Bubble Lounge, 228 West Broadway, New York City.
Wa Project Photo Auction
In April 2011, Wa Project held a photo auction in New York City that raised over $16,000 for rebuilding efforts in Japan. Now Wa Project is holding an auction and exhibition in Tokyo at the 72 Gallery of the Tokyo Institute of Photography, featuring photos by Kenro Izu, Venetia Dearden, Jake Price, Gilles Bensimon, Jamel Shabazz and others. The images all exemplify the theme of "wa," loosely translated to mean "harmony." All funds raised through print sales will be donated to Archi+Aid, which works with architects, students and communities rebuilding from disaster and preparing for the future. The show ends on March 11. For more information see waphotographyauction.com

Scans run by the Webroot SecureAnywhere® client typically complete in 2 minutes or less, consume 12MB of RAM or less, and take place without negatively impacting user productivity. This is 72% faster than the average competitor and means less time wasted on waiting for an endpoint to become usable again.
Webroot SecureAnywhere® immediately performs a full system scan upon installation onto the endpoint. It looks at all the active processes and parses the entire File System to find rootkits and other types of infection. It also reads the entire Registry and correlates entries to find the links necessary for removing 'known' bad files automatically.
Low Level Kernel Operation 'Sees' All Events
The Webroot scan engine incorporates raw disk and registry technology that dramatically reduces full system scan times and significantly increases the detection of rootkits and other stealth malware. The goal of the initial 'learning' scan, the longest scan conducted on an endpoint, is to detect every potentially malicious file on that machine. The 'learning' full system scan focuses particularly on files that are executing, primed for execution, or likely to be executed - ones that are potential threats. This covers at least 99%+ of all known malware and all active malware on an endpoint.
Webroot SecureAnywhere® uses a different scanning approach than other AV solutions. It looks into the system at a far lower level than is possible with standard APIs by parsing the disk and analyzing the system at a raw level. This allows us to scan more objects, faster and more deeply than other AV solutions with their 'Quick Install Scans'.
We are saving users from being infected, which is a boost in productivity for everyone. It simply works and does what it says it does. You can't ask for more than that!
It typically takes 2-3 minutes to complete the entire 'learning scan' and create a local inventory of potential threats, which are then recorded into a local cache. Hashes representing each item in the inventory are then securely communicated to the Webroot Intelligence Network for determination as good, bad or undetermined
During the scanning process and data exchanges, the Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent receives real-time responses and instructions to:
Allow – The file is allowed to continue
Block – The file is blocked from executing
Disallow TCP – The file's internet connection or communication is blocked
Run in preview mode – Allows the file to run, but under monitoring and journaling
Run under monitoring - Allows the file to run while being closely monitored, so its behavior may be observed and analyzed for threat determination. Any changes the file makes are journaled for roll-back as necessary.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent is an ultra-light 700KB client designed for significantly better operational speed than other AV solutions.
On disk, it occupies less than 4MB* of space. During scanning, its RAM usage is around 12MB*or less. It is by far the world's lightest, smallest and most efficient endpoint protection Agent.1
Webroot succeeds where other solutions have failed, with a smaller footprint and faster scanning. It's an easy-to-manage, time-saving product.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent works by sending file signatures and ancillary data on programs and objects to the Webroot® Intelligence Network™. It then receives real-time predictions and determinations on whether an object is 'known' good, 'known' bad, or unknown/undetermined.
The reduction of on-device processing directly contributed to Webroot SecureAnywhere scoring a record 78/80, or 97.5%, in independent performance testing. These tests focused on different performance metrics determined by PassMark Software and compare Webroot SecureAnywhere to seven of the world's leading AV vendors.
Webroot SecureAnywhere uses a variety of techniques to reduce the impact it has upon local endpoint resources. These include parsing the disk at the RAW level (to maximize scan speeds), minimizing network communication and intelligently tuning its memory usage when resource-intensive applications are detected. This feature is especially useful in traditional and virtualized server environments as well as on PCs.
During the most comprehensive scans, Webroot SecureAnywhere typically sends between 300KB and 2MB of data to the Webroot Intelligence Network for analysis. It normally receives back less than 250KB of data. On average, normal daily operation of the Webroot SecureAnywhere Agent exchanges less than 100KB of data with the Webroot Intelligence Network.
The result of optimizing Agent size, functionality, scanning, communications and interoperability within the endpoint environment is that it's never obvious to end users that the program is using any CPU or RAM resources, and therefore never gets in their way.
Such low resource usage also permits Webroot SecureAnywhere to run concurrent scans, or effortlessly scale and run on virtual machines operating within a single physical server - without any disruption.
This low system impact also improves security, as Administrators may schedule regular security scans during the working day without impacting a user's ability to keep using their machine; something not achievable with other solutions.

Nikki Haley has a message for women thinking of running for political office: "Don't second-guess yourself. Don't become overly cautious." And, she adds, don't be discouraged by politics' dirty side: "It only toughens you for future success."
To become governor in 2010 (the first in South Carolina to be both female and Indian American), Haley beat three Republicans and a Democrat during a vicious campaign in which she faced sexism, ethnic slurs and unproven allegations of adultery. Now her victory has inspired a memoir, Can't Is Not an Option.
Beginning with her parents' struggle to achieve the American Dream, Haley details her path to the governor's mansion. "When you grow up the daughter of immigrants, there is a different feeling," says the woman now considered a Republican power player. "They constantly remind you how blessed we are to live in this country."

If we learned nothing else from designer Beth Ann Shepherd's remarkable redo of theMontage Deer Valley residence featured in our current issue, we now know how much impact a light fixture can make on a space. Hand-blown to resemble vintage milk jugs, Shepherd created custom glass orbs that hang from a bronze-finished steel plate above a contemporary dining table. This made me wonder, what fixtures are currently on the market that can make similar magic? Well, there are many. Here are a few that range in price, allowing you to splurge or save.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsMarch 5, 2014
The top positions for business graduates from the Class of 2013 were various analyst and manager roles, according to NACE's January 2014 Salary Survey—the final report on starting salaries for the college Class of 2013.
The survey found that professional, scientific, and technical services employers hired a large number of business majors for positions such as accountants and auditors, management analysts, and marketing sales analysts.
Manufacturers also accounted for a large portion of the jobs secured by Class of 2013 business grads, hiring them for positions such as general and operations managers, industrial production managers, and logisticians.
Among the other employers that hired large numbers of 2013 business graduates were those in federal, state, and local government (financial managers, miscellaneous managers, and human resources workers); finance and insurance (financial managers; financial analysts; and claims adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators); and management of companies and enterprises (management analysts and human resources managers).
As a group, business graduates received starting salaries that averaged $55,144.
Data for the January 2014 Salary Survey report were retrieved in November 2013. Members can access the report through the MyNACE area of NACEWeb. An executive summary of the January 2014 Salary Survey report is available at www.naceweb.org/salary-resources/salary-survey.aspx.
NACE's first report on starting salaries for the college Class of 2014 will be published in April.

Today my mom moved most of her money into a separate bank account so my dad would not have access to it. Tomorrow she is going to home depot to replace all the locks on the doors with new ones so he can't enter the house whenever he wants to anymore since $1,200 just randomly disappeared the other day when we were going out to eat and only my dad would know where that was hidden away at.
I am also the only family member he talks to anymore, albiet maybe once every two months. He also spends hundreds of dollars a week at bars and denies he has a drinking problem and his friends encourage him.

Education in Israel is a precious legacy. Following the tradition of past generations, education continues to be a fundamental value and is recognized as the key to the future.
However, since shortly after the establishment of the state, the education system has faced the enormous challenge of integrating large numbers of immigrant children from over 70 countries - some coming with their parents, others alone - thereby fulfilling Israel's raison d'être as the historic homeland of the Jewish people. The mass immigration of the 1950s, mainly from postwar Europe and Arab countries, was succeeded in the 1960s by a large influx of Jews from North Africa.
In the 1970s, the first sizable immigration of Jews from the Soviet Union arrived, followed intermittently by smaller groups. Since the beginning of the 1990s, over one million Jews from the former Soviet Union have come to Israel, with tens of thousands more still arriving each year. In two mass movements, in 1984 and 1991, almost the entire Jewish community of Ethiopia was brought to the country. Over the years, many Jews from the Americas and other Western countries have also settled in Israel.
In addition to meeting urgent demands for more classrooms and teachers, special tools and methods have had to be developed to help absorb youngsters from many cultural backgrounds into the school population. Programs designed specifically to meet the needs of the newcomers include preparation of appropriate curricular aids and short-term classes to introduce immigrant pupils to subjects not learned in their countries of origin, such as the Hebrew language and Jewish history. Special courses were initiated to train teachers to deal with immigrant youngsters, and retraining courses for immigrant teachers have facilitated their employment in the education system.
At the same time, the Ministry of Education is involved in an ongoing process of bringing educational standards in line with modern pedagogic practices, such as mandating gender equality, upgrading teacher status, broadening humanistic curricula, and promoting scientific and technological studies. A key aspect of its policy is to provide equal opportunities in education for all children and to increase the number of pupils passing matriculation examinations.

Reese's Pieces are a candy that took me a long time to learn to appreciate, as strange as that may sound. As a child I'd watch my parents and sister enjoy them and I could never bring myself to like them. The obviously lack of chocolate made Reese's Pieces unappealing in my mind. To add to this, the odd color scheme of the candies (brown, orange and yellow) reminded me too much of the nasty 1970's styled furniture that was prevalent in my house. It made me feel ill to just look at them.
As I got older I did give Reese's Pieces several chances to redeem themselves, but they never became something I'd specifically crave. Still, they're such a popular candy still, I figured it'd be good fodder for the blog.
I found a packet to try just in time to catch the special promo packaging for the new Batman "Dark Knight" film. The only difference is that the standard orange/yellow/brown colors have been replaced with black and blue. Very odd I must say, yet I like it better than the normal colors. Don't ask why, I can't logically explain it. The shape of the pieces are a little smaller than a plain M&M and a little flatter.
The flavor is very, very peanut buttery. You get the light sweet hit from the candy shell, then almost immediatly after you get the flavor of the iconic Reese's smooth peanut butter. The texture is different from the cups we all know and love, as the pieces' center is very creamy and buttery as opposed to dry and crumbly. The pieces have a very satisfying sweet/salty balance that is hard to beat.
I have to admit these aren't as offensive as I remember as a kid and I quickly polished off my packet. Just goes to show your tastes always change.

It's damn near impossible not to pay attention to Kim Kardashian, and that's the way she (and we) like it. The queen of the selfie spent 2013 proving that motherhood and engagement won't slow her down one bit, and we look forward to seeing her flaunt those curves for the paparazzi during the inevitable media build-up to her wedding.

The show that kept us counting cattle for 13 years (1978-1991)—and had the whole country wondering Who Shot J.R.?—returns with some of its original cast (Larry Hagman, Linda Grey, Patrick Duffy, Charlene Tilton) and enough young 'uns to keep the action (and the romance) current. As the saga moves up a century in this two-hour premiere, Bobby Ewing (Duffy) has a new wife (Desperate Housewives' Brenda Strong), while Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe), the son he adopted with Pam, has developed an eco-conscious streak. That pits him against JR's oil-greedy offspring John Ross (Josh Henderson). It's well worth checking out this surprisingly successful continuation of the original series.

PRAGUE – The Washington State University women's basketball team continued its 10-day foreign trip through Europe, departing Bratislava, Slovakia for Prague, Czech Republic.
While in Prague, the team will have the opportunity to sightsee at the Prague Castle and take a boat tour on the Vltava River.
The Cougars will face their second European opponent, Hradec Kralove, at 5 p.m. UTC (8 a.m. PST) Tuesday, Aug. 13.
Throughout the Cougars' travels in Europe, seniors Brandi Thomas, Sage Romberg, and Hana Potter will be keeping a players' blog of their thoughts and activities. Below is an entry from Hana Potter, recapping the day's events.
"Wow I can't believe we have already been here for five nights! After waking up this morning from a solid 10-hour night's sleep, I enjoyed a once again delicious breakfast at the hotel before getting all packed up for our next departure! I really liked Bratislava! The cobblestone streets and the culture of the streets were so cute! It had a much more European feel to it than Vienna did, only because Vienna was a bigger city. It was a four-hour bus ride to Prague, also known as Praha. We made a pit stop about halfway at a truck stop, come to find a McDonald's as the only option for lunch... Out of all places! But I tried something that was different compared to the menu at McDonald's in the states, a Purê Italiano. Even though I am not a fan of McDonald's, this actually wasn't that bad! As we started approaching Prague, our tour guides started going into detail about the history of this country and city – very interesting! Prague is much bigger than Vienna and Bratislava but the building are so beautiful! There is just so much to look at and there are so many people out on the streets, it is a very fun and busy environment! We are staying at the Intercontinental Hotel, a 5-star hotel. It is so fancy! And it is walking distance from the big square where a ton of people gather and observe locals showing off their various talents. From a distance, we could see these guys flying up in the air and it looked like trampolines! But as we got closer we noticed that they were on a giant teeter-totter going up and down, flinging these guys up in the air! It was pretty cool if I say so myself. For the rest of the evening, I just spent some quality time with my parents. We went to this lovely restaurant that seemed more like a lounge, very comfortable with a peaceful atmosphere. The food was once again absolutely delicious! I am going to miss all this amazing food we've been having on this trip. It has been a long travel day, so I'm calling it a night kind of early tonight."

In the male-dominated cultures of the Middle East, very few women wield influence. One visible exception: Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan, who's saving the lives of scholars threatened by political regimes through her work with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE/SRF). Over the past decade, the organization has helped academics escape dangerous conditions in 45 countries and recently rescued more than 230 scholars from Iraq. Through Princess Ghida's efforts, many of these Iraqis have gained safe haven in Jordan in the past four years—a coup for the SRF, which has not had the same success in other Arab nations.
Born in Lebanon, she studied at Georgetown University, then worked as a journalist for ABC News in London and for the London Sunday Times in Argentina. In 1991 she reconnected with Prince Talal of Jordan (whom she'd met in Washington, D.C.), then a close adviser to his uncle, King Hussein. She and the prince married that year and moved to Jordan, where she created an international press office for the king and served as his press secretary until his death eight years later.
Princess Ghida is now chairperson of the King Hussein Cancer Center, which she helped transform from a dismal, underfunded clinic to one of the top hospitals in the world. Dubbed an activist royal, she also works to destigmatize cancer in the Middle East.
As we sit down to talk, Princess Ghida, dressed casually in jeans and a purple cashmere sweater, pours tea and serves cake. Old Islamic art as well as huge Warhol paintings grace the walls of the family home, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the countryside. "We call it the House of Blessings," she says with a smile.
Q Scholars have been targets of violence in Iraq. Why are they in danger?
A During a conflict or when an oppressive regime has taken hold, one of the first things to happen is an effort to destroy education and intellectual discourse. Academics are considered a challenge to authority and control. When I learned that scholars in Iraq were being harassed and killed, persecuted for the simple crimes of thinking and publishing, I wanted to play a role in rescuing them. I joined the board of SRF and began reaching out to Jordanian universities and people in government about hosting scholars.
Q Can you describe the situation in Iraq?
A Hundreds of academics began contacting SRF in 2007, saying they were being attacked. They didn't know who was targeting them, but many were kidnapped. Some were shot at in the streets. Saddam [Hussein] had people under a tight rein, but generally he cared about learning. His regime collapsed, and there was, and still is, lawlessness. My husband describes it as a Lord of the Flies scenario. When symbols of authority have failed, people fear that the scholars could be the next leaders. It's shocking, because 25 years ago, most of the country had a great tradition of learning. There was a saying that books are written in Cairo, published in Beirut and read in Iraq.
Q Do you worry about scholars leaving the Middle East for good?

Frequently Asked Questions
- Who can enroll in a TVR internship?
- TVR internships are reserved for currently registered PCC students nearing completion of a TVR Certificate of Achievement. If you are not a registered PCC student or an advanced TVR student, you are not eligible for a TVR internship.
Speech Language Pathology Assistant
- 1. How do I get started in the SLPA Program?
- Students begin in the SLPA Program by making application to Pasadena City College. If space is available, students should register for one of the 7 classes of general education that are a part of the 62 unit SLPA program. To be successful, students must earn a "C" or better in all classes, have no prior record of criminal conviction, and have a sincere desire to assist those with communication disorders and work in a pragmatic, ethical and collegial manner in a team environment.
- 2. What if I have taken college courses at other colleges?
- Students should carefully study the PCC SLPA Curriculum and all course descriptions and compare those to course descriptions of classes taken at another institution with an earned grade of "C" or better. Transcripts may be also reviewed by the Coordinator and/or one of her designees. The Counseling Office in the L building will not review any student transcripts until a student has been in residence at PCC for at least 1 semester/session. The PCC SLPA Program is a Speech Pathology and Audiology Licensing Board-approved program through the Department of Consumer Affairs. It is very important that coursework taken elsewhere by a student is determined as equivalent to the Board-approved PCC SLPA Program. Determination can never be made by review of the title of the class alone. In some instances, students must furnish course descriptions and even syllabi for classes which might be equivalent.
- 4. What are the Technical Core Content courses?

- 5. Why can't I take any courses that are offered and in any order I want?
- The SLPA Program trains students to become Speech-Language Pathology Assistants who will assist the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in service delivery in public schools, non-public agencies, rehabilitation settings and private practices. Students must demonstrate core competencies as required by the Licensing Board in Sacramento with guidance by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). To demonstrate competencies, SLPA students must have a solid academic background in oral and written English competency; critical thinking, understanding of diversity and interpersonal communication; and all technical SLPA competencies required to be a licensed paraprofessional.
- 6. How long will it take me to complete my SLPA Program training at PCC?
- Students who attend PCC full-time should finish the SLPA Program within a 2 year period, including intersessions. Students who attend PCC part-time will take a longer period of time.
- 7. How expensive is the PCC SLPA Program?
- With tuition hikes at all community colleges, a student attending will pay $26.00 per unit. With 62 units, that would be a cost of $1612.00, not including Associated Student Body and Health Center fees, parking or cost for required textbooks. Students will also have expenses related to the fieldwork practicum experience including one if not two, live scan fingerprintings for off-campus practicum, NSSLHA membership and malpractice insurance when enrolled in SLPA 126, fieldwork. Students should plan on approximate costs of $3,600.00 to finance their SLPA Program.
- 8. What happens when I complete my PCC SLPA Program?
- With a "C" or better in all classes and Speech-Language Pathology Assistant Certificate, students have their PCC transcripts mailed directly to the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Licensing Board in Sacramento. Students complete the application process and are registered by the Licensing Board. If a student has completed curriculum at another college, that transcript also must be mailed directly to the Licensing Board from the institution. When the graduated student receives his/her Speech Pathology Assistant (SPA) registration number, he/she may now be gainfully and legally employed as a SLPA. During SLPA 126, the Coordinator and/or her designees will assist each and every SLPA student completing his/her program with preparation and organization of forms for the Licensing Board.
- 9. Is there a formal application for the PCC SLPA Program at this time?
- Not yet. PCC was the 1st SLPA Program to open in southern California. Its graduates have been highly successful as employed SLPAs and some transferring on to complete Bachelor and Master degrees to become a Speech Pathologist. (SLP). Please understand that very few of the courses that you take at PCC will transfer to a baccalaureate SLP program at the university. PCC trains students to become Assistants. To become a Speech Pathologist, one needs to complete a Bachelor's degree -- or its equivalent -- in Speech Pathology or Communicative Disorders and a Master's degree in the same. If you are a student interested in becoming a Speech Pathologist, please visit the California Speech-Language Hearing Assocation website link regarding all available university training programs in the state of California: http://www.csha.org/university.cfm
- Why can't I get into the class I want to take right now at PCC?
- Your ability to secure a seat in a desired class is directly related to how long you have been an existing student on the PCC campus. All classes have limits that have been designed for optimum learning and physical limitations of the classroom. With the current budget cuts in California, especially, fewer sections of classes are offered. Please understand that this is a situation that is affecting all campuses and all universities, statewide and not just PCC. Complete your General Education requirements. If needed, sign up for any available class just to get into the PCC system. Please realize that due to the extraordinary fiscal crisis in California and the nation, that it may take you longer to complete your SLPA Program than you might have originally intended. To understand this better, please go to "California Budget Woes Hurt University System" at National Public Radio website. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123035049

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Sports injuries are common daily occurrences in the US. Most sports injuries are due to either traumatic injury or overuse of muscles or joints. Many sports injuries can be prevented with proper conditioning and training, wearing appropriate protective gear, and using proper equipment.
Most sports injuries are due to minor trauma involving soft-tissue injuries - injuries that affect the muscles, ligaments, and/or tendons, including the following:
A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration. Treatment for contusions includes Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.E.). More serious contusions may need to be examined by a physician.
A sprain is an injury to a ligament and is often caused by a wrench or twist. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists. The treatment for a sprain includes Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.E.). If the ligament is torn, surgical repair may be necessary.
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse, force, or stretching. The treatment for a strain is Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.E). If a tear in the muscle occurs, surgical repair may be necessary.

A silly, rhyming book about jungle animals! Written and illustrated by Ryan Kelly's Fourth Graders during a week-long Artist In Residence program with children's book author & illustrator, Dar Hosta.
Children in this program met with Dar four times to exactly mimic her process of book creation. Through a series of workshops, each child participated in an informative assembly presentation, the painting of collage papers, a writer's workshop of either alliterative sentences or rhyming couplets, and a collage workshop to illustrate their writing. Through collaboration, each class made a BOOK!
Complete information on Dar's Artist in Residence Programs can be found at www.darhosta.com.
Dar Hosta is a children's book author, illustrator and owner of independent publishing company, Brown Dog Books. The books here on Blurb represent her work as a certified educator and visiting author and illustrator. During Hosta's artist-in-residence programs, children work with her to write and illustrate collaborative picture books in the style of Dar Hosta's books. They use alliteration and rhyme for the writing and the technique of collage for the illustrations. Information on Dar Hosta and her educational programs can be found at www.darhosta.com.

Anonymous, I'm sorry you feel that I'm turning this into a popularity contest. But nearly all of my voters are people who actually buy fabric, which is kind of the point, I think—Connecting Threads presumably wants to pick a winner whose line will sell. And a blog is a legitimate marketing tool for any fabric designer or aspiring fabric designer (that's me). Click here to read Lizzie House's Tip #2 on becoming a fabric designer: http://whipup.net/2011/03/01/guest-blogger-series-fabric-design-tips/

True contests hide the identity of the entrants so people vote for their favorite design, not their favorite blog who tell them to vote for them. lol You know that! Still love your blog. Just sayin.

Red Dog x Shepard Fairey x Glen E Friedman will be releasing our remaining stock of Collaboration Skate Decks along with a few new colorways and they will all be available at http://www.obeygiant.com/store/home.php?cat=5 on Thursday May 15th at 10am P.S.T.. For more info go to www.obeygiant.com.
My friend Jim Muir is being inducted into The National Skateboarding Hall of Fame alongside legends Steve Olson, Lance Mountain, and Natas Kaupas. I started skateboarding and listening to punk rock almost 30 years ago. I've been a Dogtown fan for a long time and I vividly remember the Muir brothers featured together in Thrasher Magazine in the 80's. In 2009 my friend Glen E. Friedman let me know about Jim's accident and neck injury and asked if I'd collaborate with him on a portrait of Jim to raise money for his medical expenses. Jim later asked if I'd be interested in putting the art I'd made based on Glen's photo on a run of boards and of course I loved the idea. Jim did an amazing job selecting the wood, building the shapes, airbrushing, hand screening, and lacquering the boards. The boards are all signed by Jim, Glen, and me. I'm very proud and grateful to be a part of this project. Congrats to Jim and the entire 2014 class of Skateboard Hall of Famers!
- Shepard Fairey
"Skateboarding opened the world up to me. Through it I have enjoyed a world of community and relationships that continue today. It is a great honor to be recognized by your peers and be Inducted into The Skateboarding Hall Of Fame 2014 class. To be included with my friends Steve Olson, Lance Mountain, and Natas Kaupas in the 2014 Induction is a recognition to celebrate and give homage to my fellow 2014 Hall of Famers!"

Ella's offers 'classic' Calabash food
Published: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
Ella's in Calabash is described by one online reviewer as "the classic Calabash seafood joint." Ella's proprietors would probably be happy with that phrase, because they describe their restaurant as "one of the original Calabash restaurants." Lawrence and Ella High built a one-room restaurant in Calabash in 1950, and third- and fourth-generation family members are carrying on the Ella's tradition in the current restaurant at 1148 River Road.
One full-time area resident said Ella's is "good for a little bit of everything." Their menu has all types of seafood you would expect – shrimp, flounder, oysters, crab and more. Many items are fried (this IS Calabash) but some are grilled, broiled or sauteed. Contact: (910) 579-6728, www.ellasofcalabash.com

As a person grows older and is exposed to sunlight, the skin changes. Children may have freckles and moles, which may multiply or darken over time.
According to recent research, certain moles are at higher risk for changing into cancerous growths, including malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Moles that are present at birth and atypical moles have a greater chance of becoming malignant. Recognizing changes in your child's moles, by following this ABCD Chart, is crucial in detecting malignant melanoma, and other cancerous skin growths at its earliest stage of development.
