Glassman (senior sociology and international stud ies) said she chose to study there because she was comfortable in Tel Aviv. “What I love about Israeli cul ture is the openness of the peo ple,” Glassman said. “I love how anyone will invite you into their home and be there for you.” Glassman said she was able to be one of the first people to tour through the opening of the muse um for Rabin in Tel Aviv and was even able to meet Rabin's daugh ter. The event was one of the most moving experiences she got to experience, she said. Glassman said she heard about the film in one of her Hebrew classes. "I have never seen the movie and cannot wait to meet the direc tor,” she said. Playboy to auction art Given Hefner's early back ground as an amateur cartoonist, Elkies said, his connection to art has always been strong. Among the standout fine art pieces is Dali's "Playmate,” a 1966 watercolor of a reclining nude that until recently hung over a mantel in Hefner’s bedroom at the Playboy Mansion. It's estimated to bring $lOO,OOO to $150,000. It was one of 11 works chosen for "The Playmate as Fine Art" picto rial for the magazine's January -1967 Playmate review issue that asked artists to create Playmate inspired art. "I'm a fan of Dali's and happy to be sharing it." Hefner said, smil ing. "It's a reclining nude, so that made it easy to personally identify with it" The star of the auction. Wesselmann's "Mouth No. 8," depicts the artist's iconic theme of a woman's ODen, lipsticked mouth. The 1966 work is estimated to bring $2 million to $3 million. "It's a i -eat example of his work from his best period." Baker said. Some fun items include a num ber of layout boards, marked up by Playboy's art directors. Some even contain their penciled rat ings of the pinups, for example, "88 out of 100," Elkies said.

The sale has a number of Monroe images, including a pho tograph that was used for the cover of Playboy's December 1953 premiere issue. The magazine purchased it from United Press, shot during a parade of Monroe riding on the back of a car. Playboy swapped out the background of a crowd for its own logo. It shows Monroe with her arm raised almost as if she was waving to the readers, inviting them into the pages of the book of these incredible nude shots of her that they had never seen before." Baker said. “You know, it becomes a piece of art because it appears on the cover of Playboy." Hefner noted. “One of the things that set Playboy apart from the very beginning was not simply the pretty ladies and the very good lit erature, but the fact that we were winning art awards in the very first year.” Explore your career Feed your future PSU is PwC and Linkedln invite you to their career development learning session where you can start building, defining and launching your career Wednesday, November 10, 2010 10:00 am - 3:00 pm Alumni Hall, HUB-Robeson Center Career Corner You are more than a resume, a GPA or a series of extracurricular activities.

Jackson’s oldest children, 13- year-old Prince and 12-year-old Paris, said they are adjusting well to private school, although their younger brother. Blanket, 8, is still home-schooled. The children have been living with grandmother Katherine Jackson, who is their guardian, since their father's death in June 2009. In the pre-taped interview. Katherine Jackson said Blanket, whose given name is Prince Michael Jackson 11. is shv but now wants to attend school next year, when he'll be in fourth grade. The children were taped in the Jackson's back yard with several cousins and spoke about their memories of their father. Prince, whose birth name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., said when the family lived in Bahrain, he and his father often walked the beach early in the morning drinking Coca Cola and eating Skittles or Snickers. Paris said he took her to art museums and was "the best cook ever." Katherine Jackson said she wants to give the children as normal a childhood as possible, and is more lenient than her son was including when he made the children wear veils in public. Paris said the veils weren't always comfortable but that they wore them "because then when we did go out without our dad nobody would really recognize us." and she appreciated that he was trying to protect them. "I kind of felt like no one understands what a good father he was," Paris said. Katherine Jackson also told Winfrey that she believes her son was addicted to plastic sur gery; and once even asked his surgeon to pretend that he'd operated on Jackson's nose. in - Tammy Webber ASSOCIATED PRESS
