Now in its 26th year, the SXSW Music and Media Conference has grown into the must-attend networking event for the 21st century music industry. Showcasing nearly 2,000 musical acts from around the globe at over 80 stages in downtown Austin, SXSW registrants have a first-look at tomorrow's stars.
Conference registrants also partake in a full agenda of provocative, informative panel discussions and celebrity interviews featuring hundreds of speakers of international stature. Once again, the Rock Hall submitted a panel idea for the SXSW Music Festival (March 13-18, 2012). Our music panel idea – New Digs: A Rock and Roll Library and Archives – has been submitted to the Panel Picker, but now needs your vote to move forward!
New Digs: A Rock and Roll Library and Archives panel description: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's new Library and Archives will be the world's most comprehensive repository of written and audiovisual materials relating to the history of rock and roll. The Library and Archives collects, preserves, and will provide access to these resources in order to educate people about rock and roll, its roots, and its impact on society. In early 2012, the Library and Archives will open its doors and begin serving the needs of scholars, educators, students, the media, and the general public. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum proposes a SXSW 2012 panel that will focus on the new Library and Archives, showcasing its collections and the important work being carried out there. The panel will consist of an array of significant figures from different backgrounds who will offer various perspectives on what it means to have a research center amassing such a substantial collection of rock and roll resources in one place, why it is important to preserve these materials for future generations, and how this will change the study of popular music.
In order to have a larger influence on the festival's acceptance of our panel, we need your help in getting involved! Please vote (and tell your friends to vote!) for the Rock Hall's SXSW Music Festival proposed panel, New Digs: A Rock and Roll Library and Archives!

Despite Gritty Comeback, Princeton Falls In Tense Five Sets At Brown
Princeton saved three match balls and turned what seemed like a comfortable home win for Brown into a five-set thriller. The host eventually prevailed 16-14 in the fifth to remain in second place, while Princeton now faces the challenge of completing its four-game road trip at reigning Ivy champion Yale.
Brown led two sets to one and 23-19 in the fourth, but Princeton put together a surge to force the fifth set. A pair of kills from Kendall Peterkin and a pair of blocks, both of which included Nicole Kincade, helped even the set at 24-24. A Brown error gave the Tigers an unlikely set ball, and reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week Cara Mattaliano put it away for the 26-24 win.
The Tigers actually carried that momentum into the fifth set and grabbed a small lead, though Brown battled back with a kill and a service ace to get within 11-10. Brown eventually evened it at 12-12 and earned its third match ball at 14-13, but another Mattaliano kill kept Princeton in the mix. Brown took the final two, though, to finish the 3-2 win.
Mattaliano put in an early claim on a second straight Rookie of the Week honor, recording a match-high 19 kills to go along with 11 digs and a .291 hitting percentage. Peterkin added 16 kills, 19 digs and three blocks, while Tiana Woolridge had 11 kills and two blocks.
Freshman setter Lauren Miller recorded 41 assists and 12 digs, while sophomore Sarah Daschbach had 14 digs,
Brown defended well, recording 80 digs and 11 blocks, while also limiting Princeton's middle duo of Woolridge and Nicole Kincade as well as any Ivy League opponent has done this season.
The Tigers will head to Yale, a 3-1 winner over Penn Friday night, for a 5 pm showdown Saturday at Payne Whitney Gym. The Bulldogs have won 18 straight Ivy contests and are the only unbeaten team in Ivy play this season.

Reviews for Fudgy Chocolate Dessert
"This is a family favorite. They all ask for it to be their Birthday Cake!! We don't add the almonds."
"Very moist, but not heavy"
"I decided to make cupcakes with this recipe, and used my own icing (fat-free). It turned out wonderful! Next time I 'load' the cupcake papers though, I will try to flatten the batter before baking. I thought it would spread out to make a smooth top but putting icing on them covered up the bumpy tops! I love the fact there is no fat, no eggs; just start with a basic cake mix. Thank you for allowing us to have this delicious "diabetic friendly" dessert!"
"It was awesome to make this cake with pumpkin so simple and easy and you can add any toppings you want. I added some strawberries and it gave it a fresh kick."
"Made this for a family gathering where I knew one person in attendance was diabetic. She loved it and asked for the recipe, as did everyone else who tried it. No one could believe it had reduced sugar and no eggs or oil! I did make a couple changes to my recipe: I used a devil's food cake mix (which actually was more like 16 oz), a reduced fat cream cheese (instead of fat free), and regular whipped topping. Would definitely make this again! Also, toasting the almonds before you sprinkle them on top really brings out the almond flavor, and only takes about 2 minutes in the oven at a high temp, so it's totally worth the effort."

Using Cloud Predictive Intelligence and behavior-based threat analysis, the Webroot SecureAnywhere® client is not reliant on heavy signature databases on the endpoint that must be updated regularly to maintain proper protection. It instead relies on advanced heuristics and the Webroot Intelligence Network to make threat determinations and to protect the endpoint. This eliminates the burden updates can place on your endpoints and your network infrastructure, as well as the need to regulate signature updates with a dedicated internal server and rotating schedule.
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.
*PassMark Software - Endpoint Security Performance Benchmark Report – February 2012
While we were using a competitor's product, we were averaging at least one infection each month. I'd have to determine the infection type and attempt to remove it - but sometimes removal wouldn't work and I'd have to either re-create the user account on the PC to restore to a previous point or do a clean install. The process could take anywhere from one to five hours for each event.
Cloud Predictive Intelligence is the method Webroot® uses to assess whether existing, new or changed files and processes are safe to run on a user's machine.
When the Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent is first installed, it scans the endpoint to build a local cache of all the files and processes already present. It then continuously monitors for new or changed files that are attempting, or are poised, to execute. Files are instantaneously validated against the Webroot Intelligence Network to make a categorization as 'known good' or 'known bad'. If a determination of 'known good' or 'known bad' cannot be made, files go into a third category: 'unknown/undetermined'.
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for a 'known bad' file
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for a 'known good' file
When a new file is identified or an existing file is changed, a file hash is created on the local endpoint. That hash is then encrypted and securely sent to the Webroot Intelligence Network.
If the Webroot Intelligence Network has seen the file before, and it is 'known good', the determination is sent back to the endpoint and the file is allowed to execute.
If the Webroot Intelligence Network has seen the file before, and makes a 'known bad' determination, the file is immediately quarantined and blocked from being able to execute.
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for an 'unknown/undetermined' file
The most significant risk to endpoints is from newly released malware, also known as a Zero Day threat. In this scenario, the file has never been seen before, so the Webroot Intelligence Network is unable to make an instantaneous determination based on the file hash alone. Rather than assuming the file is not a threat because it is not 'known bad', the agent monitors the file's execution and records which other files are touched, changes that are made, and any network activity that is attempted without compromising the endpoint. The behaviors from this pseudo-execution are analyzed in more detail and matched against the Webroot Intelligence Network's database of behavioral rule sets.
If a definitive determination is still not possible based on the behavior, the file is then allowed to run on the endpoint. Full monitoring and journaling runs alongside all the other Webroot security shields until the new file can be clearly identified as 'known good' or 'known bad'. Any behaviors that exhibit malware behaviors are immediately blocked despite the allowed file execution.
When the Webroot Intelligence Network has enough information about the file to accurately identify it as 'known bad', it will block any further execution, quarantine the file, and roll back any changes that have been made based on the information journaled since the file was first identified on the endpoint. This will restore the machine to the pre-infection state.
Additionally, if a file is determined as 'known bad', all other endpoints in the network that might encounter this program are automatically protected as well because the file hash is updated in the Webroot Intelligence Network. This means the next time that file is seen, there is no need to do a behavioral analysis or journaling, because the file hash will immediately be identified as malware upon the first check.
If a file has been determined as 'known bad' by the Webroot Intelligence Network, but is being run intentionally in an environment, administrators have the ability to set an override to allow its continued use. For instance, a keylogger may have been legitimately deployed within a network for IT or development work. Webroot SecureAnywhere is likely to classify this type of file as 'known bad' since it exhibits malicious keylogger behaviors. This would be an inaccurate determination for a specific set of users in this environment. With Webroot SecureAnywhere, an administrator is able to immediately override a 'known bad' determination with a few mouse clicks from within the web management console and re-classify the file as 'known good' for their network.
With the Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent, there are no local signature definition updates, so user productivity is never impacted by recurring updates.
Our light impact on system resources also means that Administrators can schedule regular security scans during the working day without impacting the user's ability to use their machine; something that's impossible with most other solutions.
Definition Updates 'In the cloud'
Usually, there is a lot of management involved but this is much simpler. Now, it's just automatic.
Webroot SecureAnywhere maintains all threat updates at the cloud level within the Webroot® Intelligence Network™, so every Webroot SecureAnywhere user world-wide is instantly protected at exactly the same time.
This collective approach has several substantial benefits that turn into significant cost savings in person-hours, hardware, software and bandwidth.
Most importantly from a prevention and compliance perspective, every user is continually up-to-date when they are connected to the Internet and at the greatest risk. However, separately configurable Offline policies ensure they are fully protected when offline too.
There are now no operational risks such as 'blue screens' due to a corrupt definition updated and the unplanned compatibility changes they may produce. Network bandwidth is also minimized, as there is no longer the need to distribute large definition update files that can consume 5MB+ per day. Plus, IT saves time thanks to never having to test and administer new updates. There is also no need to maintain or pay for any on-premise servers dedicated to AV signature definitions.
Eliminating definition updates represents a huge advance in the design of antivirus technology and one that is unique to Webroot SecureAnywhere.

By a vote of 129 in favor, 31 against and 9 abstentions, the UN General
Asembly adopted an Israeli-sponsored resolution on Entrepreneurship for Development in the
developing world.
The resolution is designed to advance entrepreneurship as a catalyst for
development, and calls for the creation of conditions favorable to
entrepreneurs, education, and removing bureaucratic impediments to the
establishment of businesses.
This is the first time that the United Nations adopted a resolution on
the subject of entrepreneurship as a new means to meet the challenges of poverty
and to create growth and jobs. Israel initiated and presented the resolution as
the head of a group of almost 100 nations.
Thank you Mr. Chairman,
On behalf of the 97 co-sponsors, I sincerely thank all the delegations who
supported this resolution today. I also express my deep appreciation to the
delegations that participated constructively in our extensive and transparent
negotiations. The co-sponsors and supporters of this resolution are diverse.
They include nations from all corners of the globe, both developing and
developed. Their support reflects a growing global awareness that
entrepreneurship is a critical driver of development in the new millennium.
Mr. Chairman,
Albert Einstein once wrote that "logic may get you from A to Z, but
imagination will get you everywhere."
Entrepreneurs are dreamers - risk-takers who dare to change the world. They
are people like the young woman in Peru who built a recycling plant to turn the
piles of waste in Lima's poorest neighborhoods into a source of income. They are
the two brothers from India who transformed a small online bookstore into a
billion dollar enterprise. They are the recent college graduate in Ethiopia who
turned a small sandal workshop on her grandmother's property into a multimillion
dollar footwear company.
These are the people who offer developing communities the best hope for
breaking the cycle of poverty. No one is in a better position to solve a
country's problems than its entrepreneurs.
Today, this Committee is sending a clear and simple message: entrepreneurship
is a primary pathway to sustainable economic growth for all.
Entrepreneurship has a ripple effect. By unlocking minds, we can inspire
change. Business leaders build teams and instill confidence in their peers. They
empower others to pursue their dreams.
Israel, and all the other co-sponsors, hoped for consensus on this
resolution. Every country - every country - benefits from empowering its
entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the Arab Group announced that it would vote
against this resolution even before the negotiations ended. What a shame.
Few places could benefit from entrepreneurship more than the Arab world.
People across the Arab world have risen up precisely because they are looking
for change. They are demanding better lives, better economies, and better
governance. They are demanding an end to the rampant corruption, discrimination
against women, and economic stagnation in their region. But the Arab delegations
here today - like their governments - have not responded to these calls.
Instead, by voting against this resolution, they have turned their backs on
their own people - and tried to turn back the clock on the important work of
this committee.
This resolution has the promise to create a better world. It represents hope
and progress for people in all corners of the planet - from the highest
mountains of Nepal to the lowest valleys of Bolivia, from the sands of the
Sahara to the Great Barrier Reef.
Every Arab delegate who voted "no" is sending the message that he cares far
more about petty politics than human prosperity. This resolution can bring
innovation to those who need it most. It can move humanity forward. And we
should not allow certain delegations in this hall to move it backwards.
Israel's experience shows that humans are a country's greatest natural
resource. In just six decades, Israel has transitioned from a developing nation
to a start-up nation. We have moved from cultivating apples to designing Apple
Computers, from harvesting oranges to building Orange mobile phones. We have
more start-ups per capita than any nation on the planet. Tel Aviv was even
recently named the second most entrepreneurship-friendly city in the world.
These achievements are no accident. They are the result of close
collaboration between business and government - and a culture that rewards
risk-taking, embraces entrepreneurship, and encourages imagination.
Israel's story shows that if you want stability, empower your people. If you
want prosperity, invest in your citizens. And if you want sustainability, engage
every member of society - especially women and youth.
This, above all, is the core of our resolution.
I would like to once again thank those countries that have worked with us
tirelessly to adopt this resolution. The enthusiasm of so many in this room
proves that we all share the same vision, both developing and developed nations,
both North and South.
Today's success is far from the end of our collaboration. We must now take
the words from the printed page and breathe life into them. It is time that the
UN puts business creation and growth at the forefront of its development
policies. Regardless of size, every business venture - from a small start-up in
the Amazon to the next Amazon.com - must be given the chance to thrive.
The spark of ingenuity exists in every society. All people have the
opportunity to turn their dreams into reality; to turn their hopes into change.
May this be the moment that the international community fully embraces
entrepreneurship, so that people around the world can have a path to create a
future they all can be proud of.
Thank you.
A growing consensus on the critical role of entrepreneurship in economic
development is emerging. Studies from around the world are consistently linking
entrepreneurship with stable, sustainable job creation and GDP growth. But the
benefits of encouraging entrepreneurship go beyond pure economics. As
individuals become more self]sufficient, and more empowered, they are more
likely to seek higher levels of education and better living conditions for
themselves and their children. As President Kagame of Rwanda has said:
"Entrepreneurship is the surest way for a nation to meet its goals and to
develop prosperity for the greatest number of people."
If we are to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, we must work towards
developing human capital in all countries and societies, and across sectors.
Entrepreneurship has the power to help build societies in which people have the
confidence, skill and desire to solve problems they see around them. By creating
new businesses that provide desired goods and services, or by using
entrepreneurial principles to create social ventures, entrepreneurs around the
world have a unique ability to find solutions to poverty, improve social
conditions, and confront environmental degradation.
Around the world, particularly in developing countries, aspiring
entrepreneurs often face overwhelming challenges when starting up their
business. This may be because of difficult regulatory frameworks, high
administrative burdens, a lack of financial support, or entrenched social
Governments, civil society, academia and the private sector all have an
important role to play in supporting entrepreneurship and enabling people to
exercise their talents. A multi-stakeholder approach to promoting
entrepreneurship is necessary to prepare future entrepreneurs and leaders to
solve more complex, interlinked, and fast-changing problems.

Vernon - This week's Golden Apple award winner runs the Ag department at Vernon High School. Donna Keith began her teaching career in the English department. But when Vernon High needed a new Ag teacher, she jumped at the chance. Her students say they are glad she did.
The shrill hum of a power saw is the sound of learning in Ms. Donna Keith's class. She might not look like your typical ag-tech teacher, but ask about that and she'll tell you "my girls are the best woodworkers I have." And what better rolemodel for these young women. They say her positive attitude and energy set her apart. "She is really hyper. She is just fun to be around," said student Caiti Vaughn.
Student Loretta Tillis nominated Ms. Keith. "She is really fun so I thought I might as well give it a shot. She deserves it," said Loretta.
From the workshop to the great outdoors, many students say Ms. Keith's classes are their favorite. She has even helped some of them chart a course for the future. "I want to be a forester because of her," said Chase Hewitt, the student president of FFA. "There are just magic moments with those kids that just happen and you can't predict it. You will be having a really rough day and you will have an interaction with a kid and it will melt your heart," said Ms. Keith.
She says she loves teaching students practical, life skills. "This is the only class you can take hunters safety in, learn how to handle a gun, safety" said Preston. "It's a wonderful process to watch them learn that their food, clothing, and shelter is grown through agriculture. Also they realize that agriculture is not just farming, agri-business is a huge industry," said Ms. Keith.
Congratulations to Ms. Keith, this week's Golden Apple award winning teacher. "No job is too big or too small for Ms. Keith. Nights and weekends, trips for FFA, she is one of our most devoted teachers," said Vernon High Principal Brian Riviere.

UCLA junior Matt Pinizzotto fell in the first round of match play at the 113th U.S. Amateur Championship Wednesday at The Country Club in Brookline, MA.
UCLA's only entrant in the 2013 championship, Pinizzotto rallied from three holes down on the front nine, only to see a one-hole advantage vanish on the 17th and 18th holes
Pinizzotto's opponent, Temple University sophomore Brandon Matthews, built a 3-hole lead after five holes before Pinizzotto won holes six through eight with two birdies and a par. He lost the next two holes, but squared the match again at the par 5 12th with a par. He won the 13th with a birdie 3 and the 14th with a par 4. Matthews birdied the 15th with a birdie and the 16th was halved. With a 1-up lead and two holes to play, Pinizzotto double-bogeyed the 17th and 18th holes to lose the match.

Gazzetteonline.com Just thought this was interesting according to the Pac-10 rumors about the Big 12 schools.
I'm hoping there's really no correlation, but at the same time I just want all this garbage to be over and done with so I know where Iowa State's going to be, finally.
Well the Big 12 is good at sitting and waiting to see what happens. Nothing new here.
This is a huge development, IMO. This tells me that something has been worked out with the AD's, but now the chancellors must vote on it tomorrow before Beebe goes out and lies during a press conference.
I'll believe it when the Baylor alums call an emergency session of the Texas State Legislature. This can't happen without some sort of government okay. That will take time and possibly a good amount of debate within the board of regents or whatever their equivalent is.
Baylor does not have the pull in the Texas Legislature/Gov. Mansion like it once did. Texas & aTm will do as they want without regard to Baylor.
8 teams want out with Nebraska and Missouri going to the Big10. The other 6, Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Okie St are all going to go the Pac10 making it a 16 team super conference.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Now I REALLY wonder what this week was like @ the meetings!

He should be thinking with his dipstick.
I must say, some of the quotes in there make it look like there is a ton of disagreement among the members and that something is going to happen.

associate director of career services at the University of
Pennsylvania. The "Career Counselor's Guides to
Social Media in the Job Search" are available at www.naceweb.org/knowledge/social-media/career-counselors-guide.aspx.
The content a student pins, similar
to the pinners they follow, should reflect his or her interests, goals,
and brand. Pins are images with an embedded link. The pinned image
is a bookmark and leads to a website or other resource. Pins can be
original content a student created, such as a creative resume he or she would upload. Additionally, students can use the
"Bookmarklet" tool or look for "Pin-It" widgets on websites.
Finally, they can also repin content found while exploring
Have students consider what draws their eyes and attention. This
will help draw others to the students' pins, especially on their
respective Pinterest home pages, or encourage someone to repin
content. More importantly, have students pay attention to where
they send followers. This is an opportunity to drive traffic off
Pinterest and to a LinkedIn profile, organization of
interest, or more. Here are suggestions for students on what to

A Princeton Relay Record & Triple Jump Win Cap off Penn Relays
PHILADELPHIA (4/27/13) – The Princeton men's 4x800 relay erased a 45-year-old school record and junior Damon McLean won in the triple jump as the Tigers finished strong on the final day of the Penn Relays.
Junior Michael Williams, who has won two Championship of America relays last year, led off with a 1:51.05. Senior Nathan Mathabane followed with a split of 1:49.41 before passing off to senior Michael Palmisano who clocked a 1:52.27. Sophomore Bradley Paternostro recorded the fast leg at 1:48.90 as the Tigers finished in fifth place in the Championship of America relay at 7:21.65.
The previous record was 7:22.46 set in 1968 by Petur Gislason, C.Ross Todd, Alan Andreini and Werner Endrikate.
Another star shone in the center of Franklin Field as junior Damon McLean won the triple jump championship. McLean had a winning jump of 15.95 (52-4), recorded on his second attempt. He reached 15.25 meters of better on every attempt. McLean is the first Ivy Leaguer to win this event since 1929 when C.E. Green of Army won. Sophomore Nana Owusu-Nyantekyi placed seventh at 14.61 (47-11.25) on his final attempt.
The 4x400 clocked a 3:06.26 in the final event of the day to finish in fifth in the Championship of America relay. Junior Tom Hopkins ran 46.6 to start followed by sophomore Daniel McCord at 47.6, senior Russell Dinkins at 46.5 and senior Austin Hollimon anchored at 45.6. To note, Hopkins was on the Penn Relays winning DMR in 2012, while Dinkins and Hollimon won a national championship in the indoor DMR in February.
Day 2 Recap
PHILADELPHIA (4/26/13) – The men's 4x400 relay won the heptagonal relay on Day 2 of the Penn Relays. It was no match against the rest of the Ivy League competitors as the Tigers won at 3:07.99.
Sophomore Daniel McCord, junior Tom Hopkins, senior Russell Dinkins and senior Austin Hollimon made up the relay and bested Cornell by nearly four seconds.
Princeton did not enter its national championship indoor relay into the distance medley relay, an event the Tigers won last year. The relay of senior Michael Palmisano, junior Tom Scott, sophomore Bradley Paternostro and junior Michael Williams clocked 9:41.98 to finished ninth.
The 4x100 relay of freshman Dre Nelson, freshman Hohn Hill, McCord and Hopkins posted a time of 41.65.
Scott opened the day with a 54.66 in the 400 hurdles, while freshman Jordan Myers ran 55.35.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MJV50 Stunning but the smell is horrible... These chargers are stunningly beautiful and exactly what I was looking for to create a rustic, but contemporary, table setting. The only issue is the smell. I had to leave them in the garage for over a month until the smell subsided a bit. And even with all that, when I pick up the chargers, the smell transmits to my hand. I would never serve food on them, however, they're perfect for a table setting as chargers (where the food is actually placed on a plate). I ordered six chargers and would order more if I could get rid of the overpowering smell. February 24, 2014

Key to Abbreviations is at the bottom of this page.
Key to Printing History Terms is at the bottom of this page.
Key to Abbreviations:
All prints are signed and numbered in pencil; dimensions are of the actual image itself, not including signature or paper margins, given in inches, height before width.
a.p. = artist's proofs (where color experiments are made before edition is pulled)
b.p. = book proofs (pages from handprinted books that were never bound in and are now sold separately as signed prints)
o.p. = out-of-print
w.p. = working proofs (have serious flaws or odd color variations)
Key to Printing History Terms:
1. "Multi-block reduction (cut) prints" are limited to one edition as blocks are destroyed in the printing process (see Technique page).
2. Editions: Second editions (II) of other multi-color prints involve recutting of color blocks and consequent variations in the final image. Some of the single color prints have been issued in multiple small editions with touch-up recutting ("cleaning-up") of blocks, but no significant changes in the printed image. With the exception of "Wave", "Seaweed" and "Mt. Tam from Wolfe Grade", no more than 350 prints (total of all editions and a.p.s) have been issued of any print.
3. "Giclées": Killion's digital reproductions are created with new generation "iris print" technology that enables the images to be printed on all-rag watercolor paper. All Killion's "giclée" prints are larger-size than the original woodcuts and have only been created after the woodcut editions have sold out (see information in How to Purchase Prints). All other Killion prints are handprinted by the artist from his original hand cut blocks.

Nicki Minaj
"The point is, everyone is not black and white. There are so many shades in the middle, and you've got to let people feel comfortable with saying what they want to say when they want to say it. I don't want to feel like I've got the gun pointed at my head and you're about to pull the trigger if I don't say what you want to hear. I just want to be me and do me."
- Nicki Minaj
By the time you finish reading this, Nicki Minaj may be the biggest rapper alive. With her debut album Pink Friday set to drop in late November, Minaj is poised to turn the flurry of buzz that first emerged with the release of her mind-melting mixtapes into mind-melting record sales. In the blink of an eye, Minaj has emerged as one of the hottest emcees in the game, and she did it without even having an album out. What makes her rise even more remarkable is that she did it in a male-dominated industry, with as much experimentation and exploration as a certain pop star she's often compared to, Lady Gaga. With hip-hop heavyweights like Drake, Jay-Z and Kanye West in her corner, and her mentor Lil Wayne leading the way, Nicki Minaj is poised to become not only one of the biggest female rappers of all time, but one of the biggest rappers of all time, period.
Nicki Minaj has proven she can out-rap every man in the business and her 2014 album The Pinkprint was not only critically acclaimed, but also topped the charts. Don't make the mistake of not taking Nicki seriously -- we're proud to have named her one of AskMen's Top 99 Outstanding Women of 2015, which focused on her achievements and individuality in an industry that produces many clones.
Nicki Minaj BiographyLike most rappers, Nicki Minaj has been very candid in the press about where she came from, and it wasn't always pretty. Born Onika Tanya Maraj, Nicki moved from Trinidad to Queens, New York -- where her parents had already set up shop -- when she was 5. Nicki's father was addicted to drugs and alcohol, stealing his family's furniture to support his habits, and even attempting to burn their house down. But Minaj was a scrappy teenager who could take care of herself, getting into fights while attending Elizabeth Blackwell Middle School 210, and embodying the Mean Girl persona at LaGuardia Arts, the performing arts school in Manhattan where Minaj would study drama.
When Nicki Minaj graduated high school, the aspiring rapper took a job at Red Lobster and bought herself some studio time, and a shiny white BMW in which she would drive around the neighborhood, blasting her own songs. Brooklyn rapper Fendi took notice of Minaj and signed her to his underground label Dirty Money, where she would go on to rap on a DVD called The Come Up over The Notorious B.I.G's "Warning." The audacious move created buzz in the rap world, and caught the attention of a certain tattooed, dreadlocked rapper from Atlanta who would change Minaj's life forever.
nicki minaj hooks up with lil wayneThere may be no better way to jump start a fledgling rap career than to hook up with and be steered by one of the industry's biggest names. So when Lil Wayne called Nicki Minaj after hearing her work on The Come Up DVD, her success suddenly seemed preordained. Weezy oversaw Minaj's two seminal mixtapes, 2008's Sucka Free and 2009's Beam Me Up Scotty, which also marked the emergence of Minaj's stable of "split personalities" that would color the rest of her career.
Minaj's inclusion in Wayne's Young Money family was cemented after her appearance alongside Drake and Weezy on the "Bedrock" single, an appearance that almost fell through after Minaj had to leave the recording sessions to honor a prior engagement. When she learned that Wayne had kicked her off the track, she scheduled a dinner with her mentor and dropped a rhyme that he just couldn't ignore. "Bedrock" became a hit, and Minaj's path to stardom was now carved in stone.

Welcome to Work-In-Progress Wednesday! It's link-up time!
Each Wednesday, I post a weekly round-up of my WIPs, to help keep me organized, on track, and motivated. And you are all welcome to do your own WIP Wednesday post and link it up below. Let's all cheer each other on as we knock things off our to-do lists! Just don't forget to link back to my blog (you can grab the button in the sidebar). Click here for more details, including rules and such.
My New Projects:
Preschool Pillows
I was asked to make a couple of throw pillows for the reading area at Miss E.'s preschool. I was provided with some fabric for this project:
Um. Yeah. Well, it is a nature preschool, on the grounds of a full-fledged nature center. So I will give them that it goes with their theme. They also try to buy all their fabric on mega-clearance, and as someone who pays their tuition, I appreciate that. But you can't hand me an assignment like this and expect me to come back with your basic electric-green bug pillows. I am duty-bound to make it cuter and less creepy. Stay tuned!
My Ongoing Projects:
Hope Valley quilt
Wow, it's been sloooooow going on this one. Sometimes the quilts I dream up are a bit beyond my ability to execute. : ) Fortunately, I think my skills are finally starting to catch up with my head. So while the piecing has been slow, I'm really happy with how this quilt is coming together. It's now about half done. I'm hoping the top will be completed by next week.
That Girl ... That Quilt Along quilt
New fabric = much better! And while changing the fabric did put me a little behind, I think I'll be caught up on the piecing by tomorrow. This one has provided a nice (needed) break from my Hope Valley quilt. I'll have more on it tomorrow.
Didn't do anything on these:
Figgy Pudding Quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Modern Meadow Baby Quilt
Fall Equinox (Fat Quarterly Quilt Along quilt)
This week's stats:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 0
Currently in progress: 7 - up 1 from last week (with at least two more projects waiting in the wings, needing to be started!)

Work-In-Progress Wednesday
Hope Valley quilt
I'm piecing this one now, and I am SUPER excited to show it to you. But for now, here's just a little sneaky peak.
That Girl ... That Quilt Along quilt
I don't know why, but I just wasn't feeling those Oddysea charms that I picked out. I love the line, but I decided it just wasn't working for this project. So I'm changing things up—I'm busting out my Farmdale! The more I look at this line, the more I love, LOVE, LOVE.
Modern Meadow baby quilt
Top's done, but I'm still considering how to quilt it. This one's not needed until February or March, so plenty of time to keep thinking about it.
Fat Quarterly Quilt Along quilt
Top's done. I'm definitely going to try Imagingermonkey's easy-peasy wavy-line quilting. (Hey, click on the link—there's my quilt in the lower right corner of the mosaic!). But since this top is not for any person or place in particular, it's not high priority right now.
Figgy Pudding Christmas quilt
The pattern I'm working from is above (it's a free pattern from Moda). I'm about halfway done piecing it, but I just haven't been motivated to work on it lately. Other things interest me more right now. That's probably because I'm doing this one straight from the pattern, with no modifications at all. But I know the girlies would love having a Christmas quilt. I'll get back to it one of these days.
Wonky Log Cabin quilt
I started this one while I was still pregnant with my 18-month-old. Oops—I guess that officially makes it a UFO. But check it out! I forgot that it's actually kind of cute. I'm not sure why I stopped working on it for so long. I find improv a little intimidating, but I also love how forgiving it is. I really need to drag this one back out.
UPDATE: Elizabeth suggested I do a little WIP Wednesday linky thing. I love it—great idea, Elizabeth! I'll start that next Wednesday. Anybody who wants to do their own WIP Wednesday post and link it up here is welcome. I hope you'll all join in. Should be a good motivator—let's all knock some projects off our lists together!

Holy moly, I had no idea how much we had in common - sounds like my list of works-in-progress!
I adore the snippet of your Hope Valley quilt, it's going to be gorgeous, I can just tell. And I adore Farmdale, can't wait to see how your quilt-along top comes out! I am in love with your little wonky log cabin UFO. Definitely pick that one up again! :)
P.S. - You should start a Works-in-Progress Wednesday linky. I know I'd join in, for one!

That is terrific! Mind if I try it out? I am so NOT wordless. :)

Royce, thanks for showing everyone how not to handle a situation. Now go to practice rook.
Time to make some big bucks so you can do your music, big guy.
I am not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but here is the column that Royce keeps talking about on Twitter.
This guy (according to Royce) may have some of the details a little wrong, or maybe he doesn't, but I think the overall gist of what he is saying is correct: Royce is not in a position yet in the NBA to really try and use this as a platform for treatment of anxiety issues like his. It would be a much more powerful message if he would first show what he can contribute to an NBA team. All he is really doing now is validating all of those who were not willing to take a chance on him in the first place because of his condition. I don't understand why he can't see that.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
It's not easy to wage a PR campaign on twitter, when by all outside appearances, you appear wrong and misguided.
He is misguided.

I can't support this anymore. I had to unfollow Royce. I can't watch the reckless self-destruction. Frankly if I were the Rockets I'd be tempted to cut my losses and cut Royce loose at this point.

I also unfollowed Royce on Twitter. This whole situation is sad.
I would love to support Royce as he is a former Cyclone, but this is getting out of hand. He is ruining his chances to have ANY kind of pro career. It is 100% right to say he is not in any position to be acting like a diva. I am not down playing the fact that he has anxiety issues, but he isn't being too proactive to make it work for his basketball career. If he spent 1/4 of the energy he does on blasting the Rockets on Twitter on basketball he could be a successful role player in the NBA.
Hopefully he's spending as much time actually addressing his condition as he is waging war on social media about how he is being persecuted.
Alas.... I seriously doubt it. At this point I don't think he's even relevant enough for a "30 for 30"
I can see why some of his teammates last year told me how bad of a teammate he was. Thankful that he won us some games, and I hope he can turn his life around.

Yep, you've said this before. Again, if this were actually true people would have been tripping over their dicks to post about it last year. Not buying it.
I had to unfollow him this morning after his twitter rage against Woj.
Whatever, Royce grow the hell up, people would love to have your abilities and have shot at playing in the NBA. I am done following him on twitter good luck Royce.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Valeelo Nice birthday present I gave this to my cousin for her birthday. We are both wine and cheese lovers...and we both host quite a bit of parties for our friends. She loved it and I now want one too!! You could also put one of those jar drink dispensers on it if you couldn't find a stand. Love it! October 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by texaslady Very unique cakestand This cake stand is much prettier than it appears on the website. The wood is a beautiful color with a lot of striations. It is definitely a "one of a kind" piece, and your next door neighbor or best friend is NOT going to have one. Since it is Fall, I am using the cake stand to display one large gourd on a bed of twigs. It's unique, and looks quite expensive. It was a good price to begin with, and I got it almost free with a gift card! September 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelCat Beautiful, but strong odor Waiting for this to air out, but the piece is stunning. Just what I was looking for at a great price. February 6, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by MWes Beautiful and Unique-Great Wedding Gift I purchased the Wood Bark Pedestal for my friend's wedding; it was on her registry. It immediately caught my eye, since it is something that I would have picked out for myself if I were in a store. Some of the reviews had said that it had a distinctive odor and these people were accurate. It smells a little smokey, and to me, that makes it seem more authentic. I could see how many this could affect what you choose to serve on it. I can't say anything for the wear and tear of the item since I will not be using it, but I will say that I'd be happy to receive this someday as a gift. May 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anne431 Terrible burnt wood smell Smells terrible. I would never put food on this. And it came with an ink thumb print on it. Someone actually wrapped this up and sent it to me as is, knowing I paid for it. August 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by gardner79 It stinks! Literally, has a stench. I was excited to purchase this stand because it was very nice looking, however when it arrived we could literally smell it through the box. I thought someone was burning something or cooking bacon. It has a very strong burnt smokey smell. The smell even came off on my hands. So I unfortunately had to send the stand back because there's no way I would put food on something that smells so terrible. I saw that as the product being defective, but the company still deducted shipping from my return. November 18, 2013

CUMMING, Ga. (June 1, 2011)—Starting today, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta will begin treating patients at its neighborhood location at The Avenue Forsyth in Cumming, Ga. The new, 20,000-square-foot space is Children's northernmost location and provides outpatient services, including immediate care, rehabilitation, sports medicine, orthotics and prosthetics, X-ray and laboratory services. The location is also home to pediatric specialists for orthopaedics, hand and upper extremity, general surgery, allergy and asthma, otolaryngology (ENT) and ophthalmology.
With 118,000 pediatric residents and a projected growth rate double that of Atlanta, expansion into Forsyth County was a natural fit for Children's, which is already one of the largest pediatric providers in the United States. Children's Healthcare of Forsyth is one of 17 neighborhood locations in the Children's System, which also includes three hospitals—Children's at Egleston, Children's at Hughes Spalding and Children's at Scottish Rite—and the Marcus Autism Center. Located off Peachtree Parkway, the new location will also serve families in Cherokee, Dawson, Gwinnett, Hall and Lumpkin counties.
"Whether you're the parent of a high school athlete or a toddler with the flu, you'll find staff at Children's Healthcare of Forsyth with years of extra training and age-based treatments to treat the full range of pediatric health issues," said Linda Cole, vice president of ambulatory services at Children's and Forsyth County resident who led the implementation of the new location. "In choosing The Avenue Forsyth for this location, our goal was to provide parents in Forsyth County and surrounding areas immediate access to advanced pediatric care. The enthusiastic welcome we've received has only increased our excitement about calling Forsyth County home."
From physicians and technologists who have years of pediatric training to child-sized blood pressure cuffs and new investments like the STARscanner to treat young patients with plagiocephaly (or flattening of the head), everything in the facility was designed to help children from infancy through age 21. With extended hours and 15 exam rooms in its Immediate Care Center, Children's Healthcare of Forsyth was designed to ensure shorter wait times. The space also includes a rock climbing wall and several specialized gyms, including a sensory gym with a pediatric zip line and swings.
Children's, which was named by FORTUNE magazine as one of America's 100 Best Companies to Work For, is the 10th largest employer in the state of Georgia. Children's Healthcare of Forsyth has welcomed 40 staff members.
Children's Healthcare of Forsyth is located at 410 Peachtree Parkway in Suite 300 of The Avenue Forsyth. Walk-in patients are welcome from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. For more information, visit www.choa.org/forsyth or call 404-785-3100.

Reviews for Mocha Cheesecake Bars
"The crust was delicious! The cheesecake part reminded me of something from a major food service company that you'd find on the buffet lines of cruise ships. I think it was the gelatin that gave it that manufactured jiggle and made it not taste homemade. If I make it again, I would cut the gelatin in half or even eliminate it all together from the recipe. Also, not sure why, but the color of my filling was dark and not light as pictured here. As suggested by another reviewer, I used a smaller pan (7 x 10) and that seemed just about perfect."
"For Weight Watchers this is 5 pts. per piece"
"it was very good i made this recipe & my boyfriend took it work & none came back. i will make it again"
"It was good and easy to make. However using a 9 x 13 pan my dessert was rather flat. I think a brownie/biscuit pan would work better to look like the picture."

ZF-6025: Redirector Helper contains hardcoded action/module/controller parameters
I have implemented a custom routing and my action parameter isn't "action" but something different. This is all handled inside my routing stuff and works just fine. Unfortunately the redirector helper is hardcoded to "action" in setGotoSimple().
The following patch fixes it for me:

Good one, I think the patch looks good. Perhaps FC should'nt come from the singleton but from the Controller.
this (quite easyly fixable) bug is in here since 2 years and i still have to apply my fix for every ZF Update. Could somebody please fix that? :|
Add patch
Seems like a good, straightforward fix to me. My only reservation is that it changes the expected behavior of that function, so I would like to see a member of the ZF team comment on the change. That said, in my eyes, it's an internal process that applications built upon ZF shouldn't be depending directly on, so I don't see possibility of a BC break here.
One suggestion: Use $this->getFrontController() instead of Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance() to maintain consistency with the rest of the class.

The patch does not call Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(). The Request object is already available there and it has been used to get module, controller, action key names.

Women's Hockey Scores Three in Three Minutes for 3-1 Win Over UNH
Box Score
PRINCETON (11/15/13) – Thanks to a three-goal flurry in a span of less than three minutes, the Princeton women's hockey team stretched its winning streak to four games on Friday, Nov. 15 at Hobey Baker Rink with a 3-1 win against New Hampshire.
After the Wildcats outshot the Tigers 6-2 in the first period, senior forward Olivia Mucha put Princeton on top with her fourth goal of the season with 1:06 remaining in the second. The Tigers held a 7-5 advantage in shots in the middle period.
Princeton kept its momentum going after the second intermission with a pair of goals less than a minute into the third. Just 25 seconds into the period, junior defender Ali Pankowski deposited a rebound for a goal assisted by sophomore forward Jaimie McDonell and freshman forward Hilary Lloyd.
A mere 24 seconds later, Denna Laing gave the Tigers a 3-0 advantage as she tallied her second goal of the year. The senior forward, who fed Mucha on the game's first score, received help with assists from Mucha and senior forward Sally Butler.
"All of our lines battled tonight," Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal said. "Each line showed lots of heart and soul, and with our tenacity, we continue to get better as games go along."
Meanwhile, Kimberly Newell kept New Hampshire off the scoreboard for the game's first 57 minutes. Although Haley Breedlove eventually found the back of the net for the Wildcats, the Tigers' sophomore goaltender made 24 saves.
"With Gabie Figueroa out tonight, everyone on defense stepped up in her absence," Kampersal said.
The four-game winning streak for Princeton is the Tigers longest since February 2011.
Princeton seeks its fifth consecutive victory on Saturday at Hobey Baker Rink at 3:00 p.m. against No. 5 Boston College.
