California's small business owners face unique challenges. A recent CB&T survey revealed most view the state's economy to be worsening. Now more than ever, small business owners rely on expert advice, guidance and access to the tools they need to navigate rough economic waters and to help them continue to grow and thrive.

Some of their biggest challenges? Access to capital, cash flow and government regulation. In fact, nearly 40 percent of small business owners surveyed said regulation and current business laws are their greatest challenges.

Dar al-Hajar, the Rock Palace

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 12:24 PM PST

Perched atop a rock pinnacle at the famous Wadi Dhahr Valley, some 15 km away from the capita city of Sana, Yemen, is Dar al-Hajar, better known as the Imam's Rock Palace. It is an iconic symbol of Yemen, whose picture you can find on postcards and magazines to bills and water bottles.

What makes the building so attractive is perhaps because it is exemplary of Yemeni architecture. It seems to grow out of the rocks on which it is constructed, and it has the characteristic painting of its windows and edges. Furthermore, it stands all alone in an oasis of green and quiet, which is the wadi.

Back in the day, Yemen didn't have a king or a president. Instead, leadership of the country rested on the shoulders of an Imam (Islamic spiritual leader). Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin (1869-1948) became Imam of the Zaydis (an Islamic religious sect) after his father's death in 1904, then Imam of Yemen in 1918 and remained in that post until his assassination in 1948. The palace was built in the 1930s by Imam Yahya as his summer residence. The palace was restored for visitors, but and turned into a museum of sort.
