* Help Get Your Kindergartner Ready To Write
Helping your kindergartner or pre-kinder aged child get ready to read and write is not as scary as it sounds. Your kids will get excited about reading and writing because they seem to be hard-wired to do it naturally at this age. You do not need a degree in early childhood education or special workbooks to help your preschooler transition from a pre-reader and pre-writer into a little reading and writing master!
Good news, you probably have everything you need in your home already. You will just need to be supportive and patient - easy.
My own daughter "C" (age 5) is wrapping up her final year of preschool and will be heading to kindergarten this fall. Her literacy skills are growing stronger each day. She isn't reading yet and that's okay, although she has a few classmates who are. My older daughter "E" (now age 9) wasn't reading yet at this age either, now she stays up half the night devouring books. I can remember distinctly one afternoon when a friend of hers was over for a play date and he picked up a book and read it fluently from cover to cover. I was shocked and felt like a failure as a mom (and former teacher no less!) Then I reminded myself that all kids learn at their own rate and will do things when they are ready. It's not my job to push my kids but to just provide the kind of environment that nurtures and encourages them to progress at their own rate. A similar thing happened to me when "E" was learning how to walk and a play group friend of hers was walking up and down stairs without any adult help, guess what - "E" learned how to walk up and down stairs just fine! I wish I had read this article on Mom's Homeroom about getting your child "Ready to Write" when I felt discouraged. If we spend all of our time as parents comparing our kids to other kids all we will do is stress ourselves out.
Reading and writing at this age isn't just about memorizing words, it includes differentiating colors, sizes, shapes, and using context clues to comprehend everything from the sign on their favorite toy store to the label on their juice box.
Quick quiz:
* Do you have scrap paper or writing paper available for your child to "write" and draw pictures on?
Your child is building muscles in their hands and fingers that will continue to grow as they write in school. They are learning how to make symbols, shapes, and lines that will combine to make letters. If they're making letters, they will start to sound them out and learn how to put them together to make words. They will start writing simple first words like: their own name, mom, dad, cat, etc.
* Do you have plenty of children's books available to read out loud to your children?
(Hint: your local library is a great free resource!)
* Do you read aloud to your child every day?
Good, they are gathering context clues from the illustrations and watching the way you turn the pages and read a book from the front to the back, left to right, and seeing the size and shape of the words on the page.
* Do you have cereal boxes, cracker containers, etc. on your kitchen counter at breakfast?
* Does your child accompany you to the store to shop for food?
* Does your child accompany you on walks around the neighborhood?
Great! They are looking at street signs, and studying shapes and colors of words and symbols.
Making shopping lists and crossing items off the list (even if it's just simple pictures) is a fun way to experiment with reading and writing.
Did you pass my quiz? Of course you did.
Your child will show a natural interest in using the words and writing in his or her own world.
This is one of "C"s "comic books."
She fills pages with wavy lines as the writing and uses stickers to make the pictures.
I remember making stories this way as a young child.
It is common for children at this age to scribble lines of "writing."
She may even try to "read" her scribble stories to you, it's a great way to encourage your budding reader/writer. You can encourage your child when they do this by saying, "Good job, you're reading!"
This will help your child start to see himself or herself as a reader. Do this when they pick up a book or magazine and "read" it to you, even if they're just making up words as they go if you celebrate and reward their efforts they will be encouraged to keep trying.
My daughter "C" also enjoys making small books for her dolls.
It is not uncommon to find her working quietly at her desk and later discover a pile of tiny books or magazines complete with stapled spines, simple illustrations, and wavy line "writing."
If you read and write with your child at home, it becomes something fun and imaginative instead of just another school activity or assignment. Here are some more simple ways to encourage your little pre-reader and writer in your home.
Set up some stamps - it's a fun way to experiment with symbols and shapes on paper.
If you have a set of alphabet stamps it's a great way for your child to experiment with making simple words (or even non-sense words, that's okay too!) They will start to learn which way letters go.
You can even staple a few sheets of blank paper together to make a simple book or journal for your child to write, draw, or stamp inside.
Try a weather calendar. Simple charts like this weather calendar teaches your child how to draw symbols. This simple calendar is hanging on our kitchen refrigerator for my daughter to record the weather each day by drawing a picture.
She learns about symbols and how to read a calendar (pretty sneaky huh?)
Record memories. I also keep simple journals where I ask my daughter to draw a picture and I write down what she tells me about it -- it creates a keepsake and record of her drawing and writing and is a another kind of "book" in her life. I'm showing her that books are important and that her ideas and drawings are valuable to me as well.

* Help Me Stomp Out Bullying
Bullying is an issue that is near and dear to my heart.
As a former school teacher, and current mother I've witnessed first hand
how damaging words can be. My own daughter has been a victim of "mean girls"
at her elementary school. We've had to step in and intervene with the help of the
school counselor, administrators, and teachers to put an end to it.
Did you know:
* 13 million kids will be bullied this year.
* Over 50% of the time when a bystander stands up to bullying,
the bullying stops within 5 seconds.
*In 2011, two-thirds of middle school faculty and staff reported
that they witnessed bullying frequently in their schools.
* The National Association of School Psychologists estimates that over
160,000 students miss school each day because of fear of being bullied.
It is time to put a stop bullying.
I don't normally ask things like this on my blog but,
my friends at Tanda Zap are currently running
a campaign to raise awareness about bullying
and will donate $1 to Stomp Out Bullying
for every vote received on their
Stomp Out Bullying is the leading national
anti-bullying and cyberbullying program for kids and teens.
Think about how brutal acne can be when you're a tween or teenager?
I remember days when I did not want to leave the house and face my peers
because of a giant zit on my own face.
I would have loved to have had one of these little zapper gizmos and now I do!
The Tanda Zap uses a combination of powerful blue light and sonic vibration
(with gentle warming) to clear acne bacteria, pretty cool, huh?
My friends at Tanda Zap want to thank you.
They are going to donate a free Tanda Zap to one of my readers- woot!
The comments for this giveaway are now closed.
Thank you!
Thank you!

All opinions expressed are my own.
My family received a Tanda Zap from the manufacturer,
no other financial compensation was exchanged to write this review.

* Playful Ways To Help Your Young Child Develop Fine Motor Control
I thought I would write a post today about helping young children develop fine motor control. Gross motor skills are the large movements you perform with your body and include things like balance, walking, running, etc. Gross motor control seems to get all of the glory with childhood milestones - first roll over, crawling, and first steps. Fine motor skills are the ways we use our hands, fingers, and arms. How we manipulate objects and use tools like pencils and scissors. Did you write down fine motor skill milestones like the first time your child used their pincer grasp? The first time your child picked up an object between their thumb and forefinger or transferred an object from one hand to the other? Probably not.
All children develop at different rates. My daughters have always shown a natural and early(!) tendency to have excellent fine motor control. I'm guessing there is a large genetic component since I've always enjoyed working with my hands and my parents and grandparents have as well. But, I also think there is an environmental factor influencing my children as well. Our home has always been filled with what I would call "fine motor friendly" play activities. It is what I enjoy doing with my girls. We enjoy creative things like playing with play dough, coloring, and stringing beads. We put together puzzles, play in our sensory boxes, and sort and organize toys (I'm an organization nerd too!)
When your young child engages in playful activities that boost their fine motor skills, you are helping them develop their pre-writing skills. By providing your child with multiple experiences and opportunities to develop their hand, arm, and finger muscles you are helping them get ready to write, cut, and button buttons - important life skills.
Today I'm going to share some playful ways to boost fine motor control with the special children in your life. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or other childcare provider - these are some successful and kid-friendly ways to sneak in some fine motor development for small children. Did you know that children develop fine motor skills at different rates? Some kids are well developed by age 2 while others may still be struggling in kindergarten or first grade.
One of our favorite family activities is coloring and drawing.
This photo of "E" was taken when she was about 18 months old.
It's her first time drawing with chunky crayons on a big pad of drawing paper.
I waited to introduce the crayons to her until she stopped putting everything in her mouth.
We were just scribbling and exploring. I quit when she wanted to, I did not push her.
I kept it low-key, it was a creative play activity.
Coloring with chunky crayons, soy based crayon rocks, or other writing materials
(like markers, pencils, etc.) is a mini work out for those tiny muscles in your child's hands and fingers.
Drawing with stubby and small bits of chalk and crayons forces the hand to grip with fingertips,
this helps to build different muscles than a traditional pencil grip.
Transferring and mixing colored water (food coloring plus water)
in little cups, cupcake tins, or in this case up-cycled frozen mini quiche trays
with an eye dropper or pipette builds hand-eye coordination and pincer grasp practice.
Manipulating small objects like this marble and golf tee balancing activity
is also great for fine motor development.
(see link to my highlighted post for directions)
String beads on pipe cleaners or bits of yarn.
This is fun to do with circle shaped cereal as well!
Chenille pipe cleaners can also be poked into an empty kitchen shaker.
Sort small objects like these beads (buttons, cereal, tiny rocks, or shells)
We like to use egg cartons and mini ice cube trays.
Older children can still enjoy sorting but you can incorporate numbers and counting
to turn it into a math game as well.
Tiny erasers are fun to sort and count and come in many different themes and styles.
For an older child (preschool on up) you can set up an activity tray like this one.
It has strips of paper to practice cutting with scissors.
A hole punch with strips of paper (those whole hand squeezing muscles are tricky!)
Pencils and a pencil sharpener to practice gripping and turning.
Wax covered pieces of yarn called Wikki Stix or Bendaroos
are fun to play with and manipulate.
Here you can see the way my daughter outlined a coloring book picture with them.
They are virtually mess free - bonus!
My daughters enjoy building with toothpicks and mini marshmallows.
It requires hand eye coordination, dexterity and you get a little sweet treat
to nibble while you create and have fun!
By incorporating fine motor activities into your child's playtime you will help boost your child's success in pre-school and kindergarten classrooms. For more ideas, visit my friends over at Mom's Homeroom and check out this article for a comprehensive list of activities that help your child's fine motor control.

* Secret Sister Hideout - Closet Tunnel Between Children's Rooms
Two months ago, Geoff and I decided to cut a secret passageway
for the girls between their two closets.
Yes, we cut a hole in the wall of our house to make a secret tunnel.
Yes, it IS the coolest thing ever (according to our kids and their friends.)
Pardon my crummy photos, I was mostly the helper for this project
and only remembered to take a couple of quick photos as we were working.
We started by cutting out a square of drywall in "C"s bedroom closet wall.
Then, we went around to "E"s closet wall on the opposite side
and cut the same size hole through her drywall.
There was one stud in the middle.
Geoff carefully cut it away and used it to block the hole at the top of the square.
Then, we made a quick run to Lowes and got a couple of nice pieces of unfinished white pine.
We decided to keep it simple and not paint the wood,
you could but we like the natural wood color.
Geoff nailed and screwed the board into the opening and
used his mitre saw to cut natural wood trim to finish the openings on both sides.
The girls love their tunnel.
They crawl through it and trade secrets.
So many giggles.
They like to drag pillows and blankets in there with flashlights
and hide out with the closet doors closed.
Right now they have an elaborate doll house set up in there for their 18" dolls.
It only took a couple of hours
(including the time to run to the store) and the girls love it.
Everyone who comes to our house now has to go visit the (not-so) secret tunnel!

* All About Me Profile Self Portrait Art Lesson
"E" (age 9) was recently assigned to make a collage about herself
as part of a school assignment.
I thought about this cute 4th grade art lesson
I pinned on my Art Lesson Fun Pinterest Board
I showed it to "E" and she had her own idea of how she wanted to make it.
We started by using a lamp to make a shadow of her profile against a sheet of paper
taped to the wall - I traced it lightly with pencil and she cut it out.
She picked turquoise blue, her favorite color.
Then she used google images to find pictures of a bunch of her favorite things
and we printed them out and she cut them all out and started to arrange them
on a sheet of blue construction paper.
The glued the cut paper profile on top of the collage and used markers to add details.
"E" loves snails.
Jelly Beans.
Asian-style Gardens.
Crocheted Snails.
Rocks and Minerals.
and of course... Art!
She made these letters on a sheet of white paper and cut them out
and glued them on top of her profile.
Her proud mama thought she did a great job and wanted to share her project with all of you.
I think it would be a great classroom lesson as well.

* Doll Suitcase Surprise Birthday Gift
My mom recently celebrated her birthday.
To make it extra special this year, I wanted to do something to remind her of her childhood.
She was the youngest of 7 children and loved to play dolls
They each had a Betsy McCall doll,
my mom's doll was a brunette her sister's was blonde.
my mom's doll was a brunette her sister's was blonde.
Mom still has her original Betsy McCall doll
wrapped in tissue, sitting in a lonely drawer in her room.
My mom also still has her Ms. Revlon doll that they used as the "mom."
I thought she needed a more special way to save her dolls.
So... I ordered this cute little doll suitcase from Land of Nod.
Then, I glued a copy of this photo from the 1950s of my mom and her sister
playing with their dolls under the apple tree to the inside lid of the doll suitcase.
Then it was time to fill it with some goodies!
I found a reproduction Betsy McCall doll with blonde ringlets online.
I also located a wonderful Etsy artist named Alice who made
me a miniature Betsy McCall wardrobe for my mom's suitcase.
We worked together to pick the designs and the fabrics -
it was so much fun for both of us
it was so much fun for both of us
and REALLY hard to not tell my mom what I was up to!
Her shop is called Grandma's Bliss, go say "hi" and tell her I sent you!
Her shop is called Grandma's Bliss, go say "hi" and tell her I sent you!
She did a great job and the clothes are beautifully made.
Thank you, Alice!
Tiny robe and PJs.
Little skirts, tops, and sweet pink flannel jacket.
My mom was so surprised when she opened her gift -
the girls were really excited about it too!
Now her Betsy McCall doll has a little sister/playmate again!
The girls also made their own homemade gifts for my mom.
"E" is really into origami right now so she made this adorable
bookmark for my mom. I ran it through my Scotch Thermal Laminator.
And "C" made this adorable "Cats Have Been Fed!" card
for my parents to use at their house.
Her naughty cats have this little game of waking up my parents (separately)
and faking them out to tell them they haven't been fed yet --
now my parents leave the card out on the counter
after they feed the cats so they know they've already been fed!
My mom on her 3rd Birthday -- she looks like a little Betsy McCall doll!
Happy Birthday Mom!
We love you.
Love this photo I took of my girls with my mom on her birthday -- framing it and hanging it up!

About Wolcott & Bellyache Ridge
South of Interstate 70 about five minutes west of Edwards is an unparalleled enclave of single-family homes with spectacular views and large properties. Bellyache Ridge overlooks Wolcott from the south. Take a relatively short drive up the hill and you'll see these beautiful mountain homes scattered around the hillsides. In Wolcott, there isn't a town center per se but the Wolcott Yacht Club sure acts like one. With its spot right next to the Eagle River and a diverse menu featuring dishes on par with anything you'd find in some of the valley's best restaurants, this is a special place considering its remote location. Up on the ridge, homeowners enjoy views that are seemingly endless, as well as quick access to I-70 and Highway 133, which provides access to Steamboat Springs in just over an hour from Wolcott. Whether you seek a western-style ranch property or a custom luxury home with a view, this area offers buyers space to spread out all while remaining conveniently located to the rest of the valley.

Roman Coppola talks to Screen about his new film A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III and how he found working with his old friend Charlie Sheen.
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swann III, which had its world premiere on Thursday at the Rome Film Festival, is Roman Coppola's second feature after 2001 drama CQ.
Hollywood bad-boy Charlie Sheen stars as a temperamental graphic designer struggling to get over the break up with his beautiful and similarly highly-strung girlfriend, played by Katheryn Winnick.
The supporting cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Patricia Arquette, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
A24 releases in the US in February. Independent handles international sales.
Why did you want to make a film about a break-up?
I experienced a break-up, so that was the origin. A friend of mine also broke up with his wife at the same time and we'd talk about our feelings. When you deal with that kind of situation you want to turn it into something constructive if you can.
There are many films with this subject told from a woman's perspective so I wanted to show a male perspective.
I was also drawn to this character. He was partly inspired by that famous Maxell advert of a cool-looking dude in a chair being blasted by wind, which for me suggested his own personal struggle.
It's a visually striking film. What were your reference points?
There were many. One of the films that really impressed me was Bob Fosse's All That Jazz. It has a similar flair and a similar character.
70s LA was also an inspiration. I remember as a kid visiting the city and being struck by the playful, sexy imagery on the billboards lining Sunset Boulevard, including album covers for artists like Robert Palmer. I tried to put that in the film.
One of the biggest inspirations were the album cover designers of the time whose art I used in the film. People like Charles White III,whose name suggested the title. They were the great airbrush artists behind the imagery that made up West Coast pop culture at that time.
To what extent is this film a glimpse inside the mind of Charlie Sheen?
To some extent. There are a lot of corollaries. Of course, as an actor you bring a lot of who you are to a role you're interpreting but Charlie is actually quite different in many ways.
He's charming and charismatic, like the character, but this character has fine clothes, sensual things, exotic things, and Charlie is more of an all around America guy. He loves baseball, t-shirts etc.
They do share traits and that's part of the reason I chose him. But most importantly I chose him because he's a really fine actor. He has that ability to display feelings transparently and he's incredibly expressive. It's fun to be able to showcase someone's talents, especially someone who hasn't been in a movie for some time. I'm proud of his performance. He really stuck his neck out for me.
Was it a risk for you considering how unpredictable he is?
A lot of financiers were not comfortable with the choice. They were nervous. We weren't able to get him an insurance policy and we couldn't bond the picture so I had to take the risk. I was liable. I was comfortable doing that because I have been his friend for so many years. We have known each other since we were 12 years-old, when our dads worked together, so we had this old friendship. He told me he'd be there and I'm so pleased it worked out.
It seems a very personal film.
I hope it is. I used my house, my office, my cousin, my old friend Charlie, and others including Bill [Murray] and Patricia [Arquette]. There was a great camaraderie.
Was it nerve-wracking opening yourself up like that?
I guess I didn't that about it like that. There are many of those types of films and they are often the films I admire. All that Jazz has a lot of self-portraiture, for example.
What were the main challenges?
The main challenge, and I think most directors would agree, is to wrangle your cast. To get through to agents and coordinate schedules etc. Bill Murray, for example, is someone who doesn't have an agent, which I respect, but that makes him quite hard to reach sometimes. I had a verbal agreement from him that he'd do the film but a few weeks before his scenes I hadn't heard from him so that was a little nerve-wracking.
Why did you choose to use so much music?
That's funny. The last track of the song is called So Much Music. Well, when I first got the tingle for the film I was listening to Liam Hayes' music. I wrote the first scenes of the film to one of Liam's songs. Then I became friendly with him and we developed a great creative interaction. In the film, Liam's voice acts as Charlie's internal voice in a way.
But there are other movies out there with a great deal of music from one artist, like Cat Stevens on Harold and Maude, for example. I was drawn to that.
Why the long gap between features?
I'm a distractable person. Things come your way and you take certain adventures. When someone like Wes asks if I want to write a project and go it India it sounds fun. I worked with the Strokes and other bands and have done live TV programme so time flies by.
Part of it is also that CQ, which now has a certain appreciation, was not a successful movie at the time. In Hollywood it becomes difficult to make another one if the first doesn't make much money. The climate is very tough right now and it's very competitive. So I found fun things to do in the meantime until I had that project that I couldn't say no to and I ended up making it in a kind of scrappy way because that was the only way to make it.
How do you feel about the ultra VOD release in the US? [The film will be released on VOD one month before theatrical]
It's a whole new world out there. We are getting a theatrical release and that means a lot to me. But the reality is that people want to watch movies in many different ways today, and many of those people are big Charlie Sheen fans. I'm not a snob. However people want to see it is fine by me.
What's next?
I'm helping on Wes Anderson's new film [The Grand Budapest Hotel], but not as a writer or producer. Making Charles Swan was invigorating. It was fun to work in that way again and made me think I would like to do it again. I'm not sure what yet. I've had a couple of ideas bubbling but I'm biding my time.
Will you be working on any upcoming projects with your sister and father?
I always do. Sophia is finishing Bling Ring, which I'm a producer on, and I helped out on Somewhere. She's cooking up some new things which I'll be involved on. My dad is working on a writing project and I've always helped out on his things. There's no immediate next thing, though.

Nation & World
Consumers unlikely to start spending again soon
WASHINGTON — While Friday's flurry of regulatory rescue actions on Wall Street should help loosen the ever-tightening restrictions on consumer credit, don't expect American families to rush in and take on much new debt.
The Bush administration's decision to buy up faulty mortgage securities, whose falling values on the books of U.S. banks helped trigger the crisis, is designed to unclog the financial system and strengthen "otherwise sound financial institutions," Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said.
Taking these problem assets off the books of skittish banks will help keep credit flowing for home, school, auto and personal loans.
The economic crisis for American families is still in full swing, however, and the latest round of Wall Street fixes probably isn't enough to overcome the damage or prompt a consumer-spending spree.
Last week, 35 percent of Americans said that they planned to spend the same amount in September as they did in August, according to the U.S. Spending Monitor, a monthly survey of 15,000 consumers by Discover Financial Services.
Those who plan to spend more in September fell to 33 percent, the lowest percentage since February. And only 51 percent of respondents said they'd have money left over after paying their bills. That's down a point from last month and the first such drop in the survey since February.
"While their confidence in the economy has improved, the Monitor's numbers are still showing that consumers (are) acting cautiously when it comes to increasing discretionary spending," said Margo Georgiadis, the vice president and chief marketing officer of Discover Financial Services.
Because of the unfolding economic crisis, credit card issuers, lenders and retailers began tightening credit standards, increasing fees and rates, and reducing credit limits months ago.
Many consumers now are trying to pay down their mounting credit-card bills. The portion of credit-card holders who are behind on one or more cards is up 14.3 percent from the second quarter of 2007, according to a new analysis by TransUnion, the Chicago-based credit-reporting agency.
In a year of rising unemployment and food and energy costs, the economic stimulus package that Congress passed has been the only effort that spurred greater consumer spending.
Congressional Democrats are pushing for a second stimulus bill, but Republicans and President Bush oppose the costly measure.
On Friday, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said struggling families deserved government help just like the banks and Wall Street corporations.
"I am absolutely determined to make sure that if we are going to consider more bailouts for Wall Street, we had better reinforce our efforts to give real help to working families living right here on Main Street. People are struggling, and we cannot let them shoulder the burden of corporate negligence," Rockefeller said.

Khloe Kardashian: I Love Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush Together
Kim and Reggie have reportedly been spending quite a bit of time together and her little sister thinks it'd be great if they rekindled their romance!
Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush might actually be getting back together! Khloe spoke openly about a possibly reconciliation between the old flames while on Ryan Seacrest's KISS-FM radio show on Feb. 15 and you'll never believe what she said about them getting back together!
"I love 'The Bush and The Tush,'" Khloe said. "You can't do much better than that."
We must say that while we liked Kim and Kris Humphries together, we've always believed that Kim was never over Reggie! The two dated on-and-off for three years before calling it quits in 2010 because Reggie was reportedly sick of the media attention their romance got and wasn't ready to tie the knot.
HollywoodLife.com told you that Reggie and Kim grabbed a bite to eat on Feb. 11 at the Beverly Hills Hotel but Khloe says it wasn't a date: "I think they both were just at the same place at the same time. I don't think they were on a date together."

You're a very good writer, and I always look forward to your reviews. We agree on a lot of things. But "indisputable
growth"? Sorry but I'll dispute that.
This may be better than YotBR but that's not saying much. If this had come out after Good Apollo everyone would have
been complaining about how they've stagnated, and they'd be right. Claudio writes the same songs over, and over, and

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThanks to both of you, that means a lot. And as for the indisputable growth line, I want that to be taken in the context of the prior two albums. I don't think this is a progression or expansion compared to some of their earliest material, although no matter how you look at it, it's still a very good album.

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) could be more of a mainstream security problem than previously thought after a survey of high-level security professionals found that an alarming one in five worked for a firm that had experienced such an attack.
The poll of 1,500 of its members by respected global qualifications body ISACA also discovered that two out of three thought it was only a matter of time before such a highly-targeted attack occurred in their organisations.
Comfortingly, six out of ten believed their organisations would be able to cope with an APT if it happened with more than half claiming they had an incident management plan already in place.
Eighty percent of those who thought themselves likely victims said they were "very prepared."
Can surveys be believed, even ones that pick on a meaningful cross-section of the very professionals whose job it is to defend against them?
In the case of ISACA's poll, probably. APTs are a relatively new concept and the survey did uncover a believable confusion about the term and its implications.
More than half said they did not believe that APTs differed from conventional security threats - a slightly complacent attitude - although the majority did correctly identify intellectual property as most at risk from APT incursions.
Sixty percent said they defended against the possibility of an APT by monitoring logs, accepted as a critical part of a defence against the threat.
Eight out of ten mentioned antivirus as a primary defence despite plenty of anecdotal evidence that this layer is ineffective in defending against targeted attacks.
"Traditional cyberthreats often move right on if they cannot penetrate their initial target, but an APT will continually attempt to penetrate the desired target until it meets its objective, said ISACA spokesperson and Intralot Group head of information security, Christos Dimitriadis.
"Once it does, it can disguise itself and morph when needed, making it difficult to identify or stop."
A major issue remained that too many firms relied on conventional perimeter security to stop APTs, ignoring the inadequancy of this design to cope with threats entering through mobile and BYOD computing.
"Enterprises are under attack and they don't even know it. Bringing this awareness into the curriculum of education for security professionals is necessary to enable them to build the custom defense they need to combat these targeted attacks," commented Trend Micro vice president Tom Kellermann, whose company sponsored the ISACA report.

The notebook will be accessable in the browser from http://localhost:8000 , and will require you to login. However, If you are only intending to run the server for personal use, and not across the internet, the login will be an annoyance.
You can instead start Sage notebook without requiring login, and have it automatically pop up in a browser.
$ BROWSER="chromium" sage -c "notebook(require_login=false,open_viewer=true)"
More detailed documentation can be read about the "notebook() command."
The KDE Education Project includes a package called Cantor which acts as a front-end for several pieces of mathematical software including Sage. See: "Sage Wiki - Cantor page" "KDEEdu - Cantor page"
You can install it with:
$ pacman -S kdeedu-cantor
or along with the 'kde' or 'kdeedu' groups.
For local Documentation, one can compile it into html or even pdfs. Apparently, this needs to be executed as root (perhaps unsafely):
# sage -docbuild reference html
This builds html docs for the whole tree "reference" (which is alot; Expect many many hours). An option is to build a smaller part of the documentation tree, but you would need to know what it is you want. Until then, you might consider just browsing reference online. One place this can be found is at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/ .
Optional additions
If you have installed Texlive on your system, you may be interested in using SageTeX, a package that makes possible the inclusion of sage code in LaTeX files. Starting from version 4.6.1-3, Texlive is made aware of SageTeX automagically, and you can start using it straight away.
As a simple example, here is how you include a Sage 2D plot in your latex document (assuming you use pdfLaTeX):
- include the sagetex package in the preamble of your document with the usual
- create a sagesilent environment in which you insert your sage code:
\begin{sagesilent} dob(x) = sqrt(x^2-1)/(x * arctan(sqrt(x^2-1))) dpr(x) = sqrt(x^2-1)/(x * log( x + sqrt(x^2-1))) p1 = plot(dob,(x,1,10),color='blue') p2 = plot(dpr,(x,1,10),color='red') ptot=p1+p2 ptot.axes_labels(['$\\xi$','$\\frac{R_h}{\\max(a,b)}$']) \end{sagesilent}
- create the plot e.g. inside a float environment:
\begin{figure} \begin{center} \sageplot[width=\linewidth]{ptot} \end{center} \end{figure}
- compile your document with the following procedure:
$pdflatex <doc.tex> $sage <doc.sage> $pdflatex <doc.tex>
- you can have a look at your output document.
The full documentation of SageTeX is available on CTAN.
If your Texlive installation does not find the sagetex package, you can try the following procedure (do it as root, or with sudo, or use a local folder):
- Copy the files to the texmf directory:
# cp /opt/sage/local/share/texmf/tex/* /usr/share/texmf/tex/
- Refresh Texlive:
# texhash /usr/share/texmf/
texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/.//ls-R... texhash: Done.
Additional Packages
If you need to compile your own custom packages in addition to the standard ones, you might need to install aur/sage-mathematics-spkgs so that you will have the spkgs of the original packages.

A Whimsical, Garden Wedding at Toledo Country Club in Toledo, Ohio
Garden-inspired details and an abundance of blooms lent a Secret Garden feel to Crystal Phelps (28 and an artist) and Tim Walsh's (29 and a project manager) alfresco affair.
In lieu of a traditional seating setup, Crystal and Tim exchanged vows in the center of a circular chair formation surrounded by family and friends. "I didn't want to wait to walk down the aisle alone," Crystal says. "I wanted our ceremony to represent the two of us coming together."
Crystal made 1,000 colorful origami cranes to signify happiness and good luck.
Bridesmaids toted rose-filled arrangements tied with textured ribbons, while groomsmen sported boutonnieres made of fragrant juniper berries. When it came time to cut the cake, the newlyweds dug into an almond pound cake topped with powdered sugar and fresh berries and blooms.
Situated along the Maumee River, the venue offered a plethora of scenic photo ops.

February 1, 2013 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir will fly to Eritrea on Saturday for talks with president Isaias Afewerki, according to a news report.
- FILE - Sudan's President Omer Hassan al-Bashir (R) meets Eritrea's President Isaias Afewerki (L) in Sudan's capital Khartoum June 12, 2006 (Reuters)
The pro-government Akhir-Lahza newspaper said that the visit will last for a few hours and that Bashir will be accompanied by presidential affairs minister Bakri Hassan Saleh, intelligence director Mohamed Atta al-Moula Abbas and other officials.
Sources told the newspaper that Bashir will seek assurances on the situation in Eritrea following reports of unrest in the wake of a move by soldiers last month who briefly seized the information ministry in Asmara and demanded the release of thousands of political prisoners.
Various media networks have reported that the mutiny was over and calm has been restored. However, unconfirmed sources coming out of Eritrea say the mutineers left the ministry only after the regime in Asmara promised to meet their demands and that the two sides are currently in negotiations.
An Eritrean journalist told Sudan Tribune last month that Afewerki was scheduled to travel to Khartoum few days prior to the incident but hi trip was canceled without explanation. There was no independent confirmation of this.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) likes to say that his ears are attuned to the public's voice, but his actions often belie this claim.
If he is listening, it will be hard to miss the ever-growing list of concerns bellowed by representatives across several business sectors about the cross-strait service trade pact that was signed in June. It would also be difficult for him to ignore the vigorous protests that have been staged in front of the Legislative Yuan in recent days and a statement issued on Tuesday by many artists, academics and representatives from the publishing and media sectors calling for the agreement to be renegotiated.
If Ma is serious about wanting to hear what the public has to say, students would not be barred from attending public hearings on the service trade pact — an action that led to clashes with police yesterday.
However, it appears that Ma has become increasingly deaf to the cries of the public. Instead of being attuned to the public's anxieties, he claims criticism of the agreement is just a figment of rumormongers' imaginations.
The basic responsibility of a government is to look after its citizens' well-being and be responsive to their concerns, and Ma, as head of state, should be heeding the apprehension caused by his administration's ill-conceived rush to ink the service trade pact.
It is downright shameful to listen to him try to demonize opponents of the agreement as rumormongers when all they are trying to do is voice the public's uneasiness over the opacity of the pact. Given that the critics include university professors, industry experts, service operators and national policy advisor Rex How (郝明義), who resigned yesterday to protest against the government's actions, Ma's disinclination to engage with them or address their concerns comes off as arrogant.
Opponents have voiced valid concerns over the potential adverse impact of the agreement. As How clearly put it, cross-strait policy has direct consequences for all Taiwanese and the government should not be prioritizing economic welfare at the expense of national security, nor should it be seeking to shroud the negotiations.
An opinion poll released by Taiwan Indicators Survey Research on Tuesday showed that 62.3 percent of respondents said they do not believe the Ma administration would be able to reduce the adverse impact of opening the Taiwanese service industry to China or safeguard the interest of Taiwanese businesses. The survey also found the number of people who were doubtful about the government's ability to deal with the issue increased by 13.1 percentage points since a similar poll conducted in 2009 when the government was negotiating the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China.
Although Ma may say that survey results should be taken just as references, the numbers suggest there is a vast concern among the public about both the president and his government's capability and credibility.
"We will attach great importance to how the government's policies are received by the public. We will review, improve and — if necessary — stop, if particular policies receive a lot of criticism from the people… I will listen attentively to everyone's opinion and humbly proceed with needed reforms," Ma said in his victory speech after winning re-election on Jan. 14 last year.

Faculty-Student Dig Yields Artifacts from DePauw's Past
July 1, 2012
"With temperatures literally 100 degrees in the shade at noon Friday in Greencastle, members of the archaeological dig team unearthing the remnants of Minshall Lab might have thought they were in Greece or Turkey or amid the shifting sands of Egypt instead of the middle of the DePauw University campus," begins a story in Greencastle's Banner-Graphic. "Yet the heat and humidity couldn't temper the excitement of members of the team that's been working in the shadow of the DePauw Union Building since June 11." (Banner-Graphic photo: students Kat Raymond-Judy and Danica Andersen at the excavation site)
Eric Bernsee's article details how two professors of Classical Studies -- Pedar Foss and Rebecca Schindler -- and their students spent approximately 120 hours digging at the site of DePauw's former science building, which was razed in 1973.
"The team reached one of its goals, uncovering part of the south wall of the old science building that was leveled in 1973. And the digging stopped Wednesday when the crew found the packed-earth basement of Minshall," reports Bernsee.
Schindler, who has been involved in many digs on foreign soil, says of her first such project in America, "Here you have a community that's invested in what you're doing. They have stories to share, and I don't usually get that in my real job."
The finds by the professors and students Kat Raymond-Judy and Danica Andersen included bricks, a chunk of limestone from the gables of the laboratory building's roof, a window shade, and a Pepsi can from the year the lab was demolished.
According to the newspaper, "Raymond-Judy even incorporated into her experience a little prank at the expense of her grandfather, retired former longtime DePauw Professor Ralph Raymond. 'My grandfather made a joke about how he had lost a silver dollar by Minshall Lab, and wanted us to look for it,' Raymond-Judy laughed. So she went to the antique store and bought a silver dollar for $2, brought it back to the dig site and covered it with dirt to make it look like it had just been unearthed. 'I express mailed it to him,' she smiled."
Access the complete story at the Banner-Graphic's website.
