Donald N. Lombardi, Ph.D., was a respected and beloved colleague and teacher who, except for his graduate education, resided on the South Orange campus for nearly fifty years. He graduated from Seton Hall University in1954 and returned as a faculty member in 1962, after earning the doctorate in Social Psychology and Psychometrics from Fordham University. In 1970 he was promoted to the rank of full professor, and remained in this position until his death in May of 2001. In 1996, Dr. Lombardi was awarded the Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid Medal in recognition of his institutional service.
Dr. Lombardi was the embodiment of the scholar and practitioner. His private practice, as well as his consulting work at the Essex County Youth House, provided a wealth of relevant material for his teaching staples of Abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Adjustment and Adult-Child Relations. His extensive experience as a practitioner resulted in his being effective not only in lecture classes, but also in such hands-on courses as Practicum and Co-op Education. There was always a symbiotic relationship between Dr. Lombardi's clinical work, research interests, and teaching. An advocate of the Adlerian perspective, his book, The Search for Significance, was published in 1975. His journal articles appeared frequently in Individual Psychology, many listing undergraduate students as co-authors.
Scholarship Information To honor Dr. Lombardi's memory, the Donald N. Lombardi Scholarship will be awarded to a student who meets the following criteria:

Thumbs up
– The Rebels played hard and played with intensity for four quarters on offense.
The offensive line was competitive with new starters at the guards. Freshman RB Jeff Scott gave an early spark to the run game by getting to the corner and helping open things up inside.
The defense was disruptive in the Fresno State backfield. Special teams contributed with a 51-yard punt return TD by Jesse Grandy.
Thumbs down
– Pass defense was weak. The Rebels had trouble covering Fresno receivers, and while they sacked quarterback Ryan Colburn five times, they didn't hit him enough to throw him off his game.
Jeremiah Masoli threw his fifth interception of the year, and Ole Miss was fortunate to lose only one of three fumbles.
On the flip side, the Rebels remain the only SEC secondary without a pick this year.
Keys to victory review
– Evaluating the keys to victory in Saturday's GameDay edition:
1. Protect the ball, create turnovers: The one fumble the Rebels did force killed a Fresno drive as it was approaching the red zone.
2. Stick to your man: The Rebels had trouble covering Fresno receivers, two of whom surpassed 100 yards on the night.
3. Score for four quarters: Good effort, wire to wire. The Rebels even scored when they were just trying to run out the clock, as Brandon Bolden ran in from 14 yards out with 35 seconds left.
– Brandon Bolden: The junior tailback had a career-best 228 yards on 19 carries with TD runs of 71 and 14 yards. Bolden hit holes when they were there, bounced outside when they weren't.
Bottom line
– A win was a must if the Rebels were to entertain any hopes of getting the season back on track, but now they can approach this week's return to SEC play with a bit of confidence. The offensive line was better but must continue to improve, and the Rebels are going to have to find a way to slow down good passing game.

Tarrant County jury takes 2 minutes to sentence child rapist to life
A Tarrant County jury deliberated about two minutes before sentencing a 41-year-old former day care worker to life in prison for repeatedly raping a 5-year-old boy at his Keller home, court officials said.
The panel earlier Friday convicted Paul Joseph Lair Jr. of one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child.
Evidence at trial showed that Lair regularly babysat the boy, who was related to him by marriage, prosecutors said. In November 2008 the boy told his mother what Lair had done to him. Police arrested Lair the next day.
Evidence showed that Lair used drugs while he was working at the Children's Courtyard on Western Center Boulevard in north Fort Worth, and fondled at least two children there. Their parents are suing the daycare, authorities said.
"He preys on little boys – buys them candy, buys them Cokes, does fun stuff with them, and makes them love him. He is your classic child molester," Assistant District Attorney Eric Nickols told jurors, according to a news release late Friday.
"His goal was to have his own daycare so he could have a pedophile's playground," he said. "He is going to have a different kind of playground now."

The Bursting of the Hashimoto Bubble?
Only a few weeks ago, it seemed as if Toru Hashimoto would soon be conquering Japanese politics. But now the super-star Osaka mayor is finding his popularity alone may not bring him success on the national stage.

- Firebrand Osaka Mayor Calls It Quits, to Seek Re-election
- Japanese Politicians Bite Back Against Media
With nine lawmakers formally starting business at national parliament under the banner of his Japan Restoration Party, this was going to be a week for celebration for Mr. Hashimoto. Instead, the 43-year-old mayor — known for his pro-market economic policies and provocative nationalistic views — has faced some turbulence.
First came polls showing surprisingly tepid backing for a party that has received huge attention. A poll published by the Yomiuri Shimbun daily Wednesday showed only 2% of the respondents supported Mr. Hashimoto's party, far below 28% for the Liberal Democratic Party, a resurgent former ruling party, and 18% for the ruling Democratic Party of Japan. The Asahi Shimbun, another leading daily, also showed the support for Mr. Hashimoto's party the same 2%.
Friction also emerged between Mr. Hashimoto and the parliament members who joined his brand-new party after defecting bigger existing parties, with the two sides openly throwing harsh words at each other. The development underscored the limitations of an organization run by an autocratic local politician, even as it tries to expand nationwide.
The tussle started late last week when the JRP's key national parliament member wrote a piece titled "Hashimoto's Dictatorship Won't Be Tolerated" on his official blog. Kenta Matsunami, who was recently appointed secretary-general of the JRP after defecting from the LDP, said that now that the party has made its national debut, its members in parliament should take the initiative in forming policies related to national matters, such as diplomacy and national security. He then wrote that Mr. Hashimoto's position on an island dispute with South Korea had come under "considerable criticism" among party members.
(Mr. Hashimoto advocates "joint control" of the disputed island with Seoul, in a clear disagreement from Tokyo's position that the island indisputably belongs to Japan.)
Mr. Hashimoto - whose political style leans heavily toward offense - lashed out. "When it comes to big picture and big policies, I am superior to the parliament members," Mr. Hashimoto declared as he spoke to reporters on Tuesday. "If the parliament members can really persuade voters with their own big picture and big policies, maybe they don't need to belong to the Japan Restoration Party."
Such confrontation was probably inevitable. Even though Mr. Hashimoto plans to field as many as 350 candidates in upcoming general elections, his party is still essentially a local organization with just nine members in national parliament. The 100-plus members who are local politicians in and around Osaka hold firm control of the party, as they maintain voting rights equal to the national parliament members in deciding party matters. The parliament members, who were elected by far larger number of voters, feel they deserve a bigger voice.
With little clarity for the party's future direction, voters may be growing disillusioned. In addition to asking voters in general which party they support, the newspaper polls also asked voters which party they would cast a ballot for in an election. The polls specifically ask about the "proportional representation" part of the election.
The Yomiuri poll showed that 13% of the voters now plan to vote for the JRP in the proportional representation contest, down from 16% in its previous poll conducted a month ago. That put the party behind the LDP, which now commands support from 36% the respondents, up from 31% previously, and the DPJ, whose score improved to 18% from 14%.
The Asahi poll showed only 4% of voters currently planning to back the JRP in an election. That paper hadn't asked the question before.

She saved my life! Luckily for me she was on call when I arrived at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. Many thanks Doctor!
Dr. Latzko is wonderful, caring, and listens to me when I talk about my issues. She is excellent in uncovering the cause. I travel almost two hours to see her. I wouldn't go to anyone else for my neurogenic bladder. She is the best.
Dr. Latzko is the best. She is caring and attentive to listening and giving advice. She asks all the right questions and takes her time to listen and get to know you. Most of all she knows her stuff and makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. Great doctor I would highly recommend.
Dr Latzko is a compassionate, warm and knowledgeable Doctor.. After being diagnosed with Prostate cancer she made sure that every conceivable way of treating this was exhausted before the ultimate Protatectomy.. She called at home many times to find out how I was doing.. She treats me more than a doctor but someone who truly cares..
I recommend Dr. Latzko without reservation. She has diagnosed and treated two kidney stones.
Dr. Latzko is very thorough, innovative, easy to talk to and very professional. Both my father and I have utilized her services in both emergency hospital as well as surgical and office settings. Her experience and knowledge is cutting edge. I would highly recommend her to male or female patients.
My experience was very poor, would never recommend. No follow up, nasty attitude, cold staff.

I am an independent student returning to university after two
Resolved Question:
I am an independent student returning to university after two years of well-paid work. I have $5500 in cash and $9000 in a traditional IRA. My expected outlay for my studies will be ~$2700 a year tuition for the two years remaining to finish my degree, with ~$5000 a year or so for rent in a small apartment. I intend to take a part-time job to pay for food and other miscellaneous expenses. I have also been offered a non-subsidized loan in the amount of $12,000 payable in
$3,000 per semester by my school, at the interest rate of 6.8%.
My question hinges on whether I should take the school up on the offered money. I have hesitated to invest my IRA in anything non-liquid in the expectation that I would use the money to pay for school. I put $4000 in FY 2007 and $5000 in FY 2008. Is removing money for this purpose difficult or time consuming?

Removing money from your IRA account is not difficult, regardless of the purpose for the withdrawal. It is simply a matter of making a withdrawal request with the financial institution that holds your IRA account and having them issue you a check.
If you will be using the money for higher educational purposes, then you would not owe the 10% early withdrawal penalty, which would normally apply to withdrawals made prior to age 59-1/2. But you would still owe
income tax
on the amount withdrawn. The actual
you end up owing will depend on your overall income for the year, as that what determines the tax bracket you are in. If you only plan to have a part time job, then chances are your income tax bracket will only be 10%.
There are both pros and cons to taking the money out of your IRA for these expenses. Obviously the positive side is that you would not have a loan to worry about repaying. And with the market being in a depressed state right now, it would be difficult to imagine that your IRA account could earn anywhere close to 6.8% if you are keeping this in liquid investments such as money markets or short term CD's. So from that standpoint it would be better to use money from your IRA, since it is not earning as much as the interest you would be charged on the loan.
On the other hand, any time that you take money out of your IRA account, it is money that you cannot replace, except by making additional contributions in future years. But you cannot go back and re-contribute money for prior years. The more you can keep in your IRA, the better off you are for the future, if you are considered at this point about
for your retirement. Even though the market is not doing very well right now, it should eventually rebound. When it does, the more money you have in your IRA account, the more you stand to gain, as all of those earnings will be tax deferred.
But getting back to your original question of whether or not this money is difficult to withdraw, it is not difficult at all. You just need to make the withdrawal request and have your IRA custodian issue you the check. If your IRA is with a
bank or with an investment firm that has a local branch office in your area, you should be able to get the check the same day as you make the withdrawal request.

Well, I suppose I need to more answers. First, what types of expenses constitute "Higher Education" expenses? Would my rent or food qualify? Second, If I were to accept the loan, I would highly consider moving the money into a Roth IRA and there invest it in something with considerably higher interest if possible. Is it possible for that investment to be wiser than just draining my IRA account for my education?
replied 7 years ago.
Hello again Marloe,
Qualified higher education expenses would include the cost of your tuition, books and required fees, but would not include the cost of your rent or food or any other living expenses. So if the amount you withdrew from your IRA account exceeded the allowed expenses of tuition, books and fees, then you would also pay an early withdrawal penalty on the excess amount of 10%. So that is something you should most definitely try to avoid if you possibly can.
Rolling your traditional IRA in to a Roth IRA is always a huge plus, particularly since you are younger and have so many years ahead of you to let that account grow. You would of course pay the taxes on the amount you roll over to the Roth, but once that is done, that Roth account that continues to grow tax free, and you never pay another dime in tax on any of the earnings. The Roth IRA is one of the best things that Congress ever made available to taxpayers, so if you can possibly take advantage of that, then by all means you should do so.
If you take that money out of your IRA account now and roll it over to a Roth, while you are only working part time, you will be in a very low tax bracket, and should not have to pay much tax on the rollver. So let's just say as an example that you are in the 10% tax bracket and you take out the $9,000 you have to roll over to a Roth. It would cost you $900 in tax to do that. The average investor can double his money in the stock market in 7 years. That means that 18 years from now your $9,000 may be worth $140,000, and that is all tax free money. You never pay another dime in tax over the $900 it cost you to roll over the funds.
If you can possibly survive without using that money for your tuition or living expenses, that is definitely the way you would want to go.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thankyou Marlo.

text: I have found that I was religiously using OPK's in the afternoon and I was often seeming to miss my surge. Then one cycle I decided to test the next morning and got a positive. So yes I believe do we are all different and although they recommend to test in the afternoon, I would advise when you start to see your line darkening or when you are a couple of days before ovulation in your cycle that you test in the morning, afternoon and at night. Although I have got positives in the afternoon too previously. I have reported before on this thread and again I really recommend using internet OPKs they are very reliable and cheap and you can get them in packs of 100, so it makes doing it this way a reality and ensures you don't miss your surge. I was spending a small fortune on shop bought ones before a friend got me on to the internet ones. Good luck!

April 2013
During the 2011 review and revision process that lead to the implementation of the revised Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs (Standards), the NASBA CPE Task Force discussed ways to provide CPE sponsors supplemental information to assist in the development of CPE programs. From these discussions, the Best Practices section of the Learning Market website was created.
The best practices are presented by delivery method (Group Live, Group Internet Based, QAS Self Study and Independent Study), and then further broken down into four categories: development, presentation, measurement and reporting.
Each category under the four delivery methods also contains a resources section, with articles and links to other websites. Users can easily navigate Best Practices to do anything – such as learn how to calculate CPE credit on a group live program to download a template for an independent study learning contract.
But the Best Practices section is meant to serve as more than just NASBA's information depot about the Standards – it is intended to be a working area for sponsors. All CPE program sponsors are encouraged to submit best practices information to NASBA for consideration and inclusion.
We have already begun to receive some submissions and have recently added a template for calculating CPE credits using the word count formula that was submitted by one of our sponsors. This template has been requested multiple times by sponsors, and should prove very useful.
"If our sponsors are doing something in a great, thoughtful and meaningful way, we want them to submit that information to us so we can share their best practices," said Jessica Luttrull, National Registry Manager.
It is important that Registry members know that the Best Practices section does not represent "interpretations" of the Standards. The Best Practices area is truly intended for sharing great ways to do things, and its contents are not enforceable or required.
To further this environment of knowledge sharing and learning, we want to hear from you. Is there anything more you would like to see in the Best Practices area that would benefit you? What suggestions do you have to increase information sharing? If you have any ideas or suggestions, or if you would like to submit information for possible inclusion in the Best Practices section of the website, please send your information to email@example.com.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Following her separation from Robinson, the leggy beauty dated Owen Wilson but the couple broke up in May 2007. Since then she has been romantically linked to actor Dax Shepard of MTV's Punk'd and dated Lance Armstrong from May to July 2008.
Early this year, Hudson laughed off Internet reports that she was spotted kissing a woman in Miami. She said: "A girlfriend called me and said, ''Are you making out with girls now?'' I was like, ''What are you taking about?'' "No, no, no," she added. "Strictly boys for me!"

Islanders are the sleeper team of the Eastern Conference
Kevin Allen of USA Today predicts the Isles will be playoff-bound
Monday, 08.8.2011 / 11:24 AM ET / News
The New York Islanders have a better chance of ending their playoff drought than they have had the past few years. Even though I have reservations about their defense, they are my sleeper pick in the Eastern Conference.
Why the 14th-place Islanders, who have missed the playoffs the past four seasons, have a reasonable chance to be six places better this season:
1. Evgeni Nabokov is going to join the team, meaning the Islanders either have a new No. 1 goalie or an attractive backup to the injury-plagued Rick DiPietro.
2. Offensive-minded defenseman Mark Streit will return from the shoulder surgery that cost him the entire 2010-11 season. He will help the team's transition game and power play.
3. In John Tavares, Michael Grabner, Matt Moulson, Blake Comeau, Kyle Okposo, Brian Rolston and PA Parenteau, the Islanders have interesting/noteworthy/desirable scorer options for their top six forward positions.
4. Tavares will be 21 when the season starts, and it's not unthinkable that he could go from 67 to 90 points. Would anyone be stunned if he netted 40 goals?
5. With seven short-handed goals, Frans Nielsen has proved to be an effective penalty killer and role player. He had 13 goals and 31 assists last season and deserved, and received, votes for the Selke Trophy.
6. The Islanders have quality rookies, particularly Nino Niederreiter and perhaps Calvin de Haan, who could make some contributions this season.
7. Defenseman Travis Hamonic, 21, played more than 21 minutes a game last season as a rookie and presumably will be even more effective this season.
8. In the offseason, the Islanders added one of the NHL's better role players in Marty Reasoner, who is a good face-off guy and owns a knack for making big plays at the right time. Of his 14 goals last season, four were game-winners.

maybe you don't like molly. maybe you think she is fat. maybe you think she is ugly or stupid. this molly doesn't deserve the term okay. not pretty. nor beautiful. or flawless. the only word that comes close to describe her beauty is pulchritudinous. (sorry you had to look that up) but she doesn't know it. and when someone tells her she denys it. she always tries to live up to the idea of perfection but little does she know so already is beyond perfect. when she smile or laughs its like a goddess. heck she is a goddess. she comforts you in the deepest times and loves you in the worst. if you ever have the HONOR to even come in her presence you better cherish it cause a girl like molly doesn't come around ever day. she is the most sacchariferous girl you will ever encounter. (sweetest) heck if you don't want her your just well stupid. she puts her heart in faith in everything she does. being an amazing friend is her life. she is very rad girl to have laugh with. she can always make you happy even when she smiles. you need a molly in your life. they make the best friends. xoxo your kake shipper. :)

Molly is a girl who hates being referenced to the drug and a dog. She excels in school-NOT in sports. Molly is usually quiet but loud with a big group of friends. Mollys love snuggling with hot chocolate and a good book. She falls easily and breaks her heart often. She is not very confident, although she looks pretty. Molly is a great friend and you should never mistreat her.
Guy 1: Molly is so pretty but so quiet- I think you should ask her out.
Guy 2- no way! Her name is a drug!!
Guy 1: man! Now she'll never go out with you
Guy 2- no way! Her name is a drug!!

A friend. Molly is smart, committed, a hard worker, opinionated yet liberal, compassionate, dedicated, a great listener, funny and sometimes perverse. If you let this girl into your life you will never regret it.She claims she has blue eyes but many would say hazel with gold in the middle. You can tell she has been crying when they turn gray. She will care and love you if you give her the chance. Never hurt Molly because if you do you will regret the decision and make one of the biggest mistakes of your love life. You don't want to break Molly's heart because her trust never deserves to be broken. Many things can be said about her but her true potential is truly limitless. Molly is unique and not easily defined. Molly is one who you can turn to in your time of need. Molly does not pass judgment unless it is due. Molly has a great taste for music. Someone who you can speak to on the phone for hours on end and the conversation never dulls. Molly does wonders in the kitchen. Molly's get sad and cry easily so be careful. Mollys are taken for granted, people don't appreciate them enough. Molly always make sure others are happy before themselves. Mollys are pretty, musical, happy, confident and amazing friends. One of the most caring people you'll ever meet! Hilarious when you get understand her sense of humor! A little bit of a nut job....in the most funny way!! Very intelligent and super good at baking! You just have to love her!
Guy 1: dude im thinking of asking this girl out

Molly is amazing. She's thinks she's ugly. But she isn't. She is probably one of the most beautiful people you will ever meet. Her hair and face may not be perfect, but her flawless beauty is skin deep. She will help you when you need her most. She will trust and care for you. She is a well-rounded individual with a little competitive spirit. Once you see her don't let her go. Become friends with her. Heck, you might even want to go out with this Molly! Just remember, when you find her, don't let her out if your life.
Person one: wow that girl is amazing. And beautiful too.
Person two: must be a Molly
Person two: must be a Molly

text: Body ContentWhy do they exist? The commissioners were created when income tax was first introduced in Jersey in 1928 and are completely independent of the taxes office. They exist as the first point of appeal for a taxpayer who is in dispute with the comptroller of taxes. They hear appeals in private and their decisions are not published. Can anybody be a commissioner? Any person who is resident in Jersey who has experience in financial matters but who is not actively engaged in any trade business or profession can be appointed by the States on the recommendation of the Treasury and Resources Minister following advice from the Treasurer of the States. The qualities required in a commissioner are those that would be expected in any person making judgements and exercising powers over their fellow citizens. A commissioner should: be independent, impartial and confident possess common sense, integrity and patience have excellent communication skills give direction, take advice and share responsibility have the ability to understand the principles of income tax and GST be able to determine in a just manner the issues coming before them What are their powers? The commissioners have extensive powers to enable them to discharge their functions. They are to: obtain expert advice in cases where they consider it necessary postpone or adjourn the hearing of an appeal issue precepts to obtain informationto put questions to the appellant or their representative summon and examine witnesses conduct an appeal hearing in the manner considered most suitable amend assessments confirm assessments review their final determination How many commissioners are there? The total number of commissioners that can be appointed by the States is 11. When any 3 out of the 11 meet, a quorum is constituted for the purpose of hearing appeals. Where are their meeting held? Appeals are currently heard at the office of the clerk to the commissioners. An appeal meeting is never heard at the taxes office. What kind of appeals do they hear? There are 2 types of appeal usually heard by the commissioners. The first kind is commonly referred to as a 'delay' case, where the appellant has lodged an appeal against his assessment but has not submitted the tax returns or business accounts or other relevant information to show the assessment is incorrect. The second type is a contentious appeal in which the appellant or his advisers are in dispute with the comptroller of taxes over matters of fact or law. What is the procedure for getting an appeal heard? If an appellant wishes to have an appeal heard by the commissioners, the most convenient way to do this is to inform the comptroller, who will then advise the clerk to the commissioners. The clerk will arrange the appeal meeting and then advise the appellant of the time, date and place of the hearing. What happens at the commissioners meeting? Many appellants, and even some advisers, find themselves in an unaccustomed situation when they appear before the commissioners. So far as it appears appropriate, therefore, the commissioners will seek to avoid formality in procedure and determine in which order the parties to the appeal will be heard. For example, in 'delay' cases, the chairman of the commissioners may ask the comptroller to introduce the appeal and give some background information, then ask the appellant to present his case. It is important to remember that the commissioners are impartial and that it is their responsibility to ensure the appellant has a fair hearing. When do the commissioners give their decision to an appeal? The commissioners' decision is usually given orally at the end of the hearing. What can I do if I disagree with their decision? If an appellant does not accept the commissioners' decision, he must immediately express dissatisfaction and give notice to the commissioners of his intention to appeal to the Royal Court. He then has 21 days in which to bring the appeal to the Royal Court.

Gaming on the Kindle Fire HD
When it comes to buying new gadgets, I've always stuck to the principle that you get what you pay for. But is that right? Having just bought myself a Kindle Fire HD, I was curious; it's roughly half the cost of an iPad, so would it only be half as capable? I downloaded three different games to see if I could find out.
Keen to try out something familiar for comparison purposes, I chose Plants vs Zombies (Kindle Tablet Edition) as my first game. With just Adventure mode and Quick Play to choose from, this is PvZ as it used to be. There's no Zen Garden, no mini-games, and no micro transactions. Even though I like some of the additional modes added to the other versions, there is something quite refreshing about going back to a purer form of the game, one that isn't crammed full of signs encouraging you to spend extra money. Graphically it's as good as it's siblings on other devices; the title screen and main menu look like they've been squashed in a little to fit the screen size, but the game itself looks lush. Good touch controls are a vital part of the PvZ experience in my opinion (it's why I don't like the Xbox 360 version), and on the Kindle they're very good. Plants go where you want them too, and quick selection changes under pressure are precise. In fact, the whole game runs as smoothly as it does on iOS devices. It's not a game that requires big processing power I know, but it's still pleasing to know that the Kindle version is just as good as any of the others.
My next choice was Pac-Man HD (Kindle tablet edition). OK, so it's Pac-Man. How they've got the cheek to call it 'HD', I don't know, it's still Pac-Man as you know it, there's a maze with dots in, ghosts chase you. How high def can you make a little yellow disc anyway? Controls are pretty simple, you can choose between flick controls, or the pac pad, which is a virtual joystick kind of thing. Both the options feel sluggish to me, maybe that's because I'm old enough to have played the original coin-op with a proper joystick, I don't know, but the menus aren't that snappy either. The whole thing feels slightly unresponsive, and given my experience with the other two games here, I can't help but conclude that it's down to the game and not the device. Pac-Man HD was never going to tax the Kindle graphically, but it did raise one interesting question: How much time and resource are developers willing to commit to games on the Kindle? Pac-Man HD feels like a game that could have been better optimized for the device it was on, and would have been if the market was larger. Will developers ever develop games specifically for the Kindle, or will it have to make do with hand-me-downs?
If there's one game that's going to test the Kindle's graphical power, it's FireMonkeys conversion of Criterion's latest point-to-point racer, Need for Speed: Most Wanted. On the whole, it passes with flying colours. The game licks along at a decent pace, fast enough that you don't notice the two dimensional scenery going past, and the frame rate is rock solid. The controls are pretty simple, braking is controlled by touching the left side of the screen, boost is activated by swiping up, drifting is controlled by touching the right. There's no accelerator controls at all, and steering is taken care of by either turning the device left and right, or by moving your thumb after switching to the touch and drag option. On the default sensitivity, the accelerometer controls seem to be a little "all or nothing". Whether that's my fault, the Kindle's fault, or the games fault is impossible for me to judge right now; a broader range of games using the tilt controls would reveal the answer. Overall, NFS:MW impressed me, even if some of the graphical sparkle may be down smoke and mirrors, it still looks pretty enough to wow me every time I play it. If I were trying to impress my friends with the Kindle's gaming abilities, this is the game I would show them.
Having spent some time with it now, I can conclude that the Kindle Fire HD has impressed me with it's gaming prowess, but not enough for it to become my mobile gaming device of choice. Partly, I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of using up the battery life of my shiny new e-reader playing games, but mainly it's issues with the devices operating system that hold it back. The Kindle Fire HD uses a modified version of Android, and as a result the device is tied to the Amazon App store, and not the Google Play one. Using the games I've tried here as an example, Plants versus Zombies has none of the later content updates, and while Nexus 7 users can play the excellent Pac-Man: CE, we get plain old regular Pac-Man. Being tied to Amazon's ecosystem hurts the Kindle's gaming credentials, and it's such a shame too, because in all other technical respects, the Kindle really does compare well to it's rivals.
Having bought one personally, I don't think I'd recommend the Fire HD to people looking for a tablet to play games on, but if you're looking for an e-reader that can also play games? I think the Kindle is worth a look.

Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are killing it.
The Public School designers are having an awesome year, to say the least. In addition to their diffusion line, Black Apple New York, they launched a denim line last fall. They also found the time to put together an amazing collection for Fall 2013, which garnered them the Swarovski Menswear Designer of the Year Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)—which are pretty much the Oscars of fashion. Check the photos above for a look at their upcoming Holiday 2013 collection. What makes their story unique is that both Chow and Osborne are bonafide New Yorkers, born in the West Village and Queens, respectively.
While both grew up listening to hip-hop, Chow held down positions as an editor at Blaze magazines and penned articles where he interviewed rappers like Big Pun. It wasn't until he took a gig as the Creative Director of Sean John that he and Osborne linked up, leading to the debut of Public School in 2008. We sat down with the two designers and congratulated them on their recent success, talked about the evolving relationship between hip-hop and fashion, and charted their well-deserved rise to the top.
New Yorkers are known for their work ethic, and Public School has a very New York career trajectory. A lot of people aren't aware that you guys put in a lot of work prior to the CFDA win.
Dao-Yi Chow: Yeah, absolutely. I think the main sentiment has been the idea of aspiration. Just thinking beyond what was around us. I think to myself it's been one part courage and one part stupidity—where you want to do what you want to do. We set out doing Public School in 2008 and we put the first collection in about 3 months' time. We had the conversation about wanting to do something, and it all happened so fast. We never really stopped to think like what would happen if this took off, or even what would happen if this business didn't succeed. So I think part of that stupidity helped us keep it going. A friend of mine was like "That's a hell of a five year plan." That sort of caught me by surprise; it hasn't really felt like five years. This was never in our plan five years ago—I don't even think we thought about five years. We didn't even think about the next collection. It was just collection-to-collection. I think the turning point for us is being accepted into the CFDA Incubator Program in 2010, where we had to make a hard decision and it was like "listen, we really need to plan this out."
Dao, before your fashion industry days, you were an editor at Blaze magazine, and you wrote as Durwin Chow. How did the music industry lead you to fashion?
Dao-Yi: You got all the hard, cold facts huh? It's like a New York love story, if you will. In my last two years at NYU, I interned with Sony when the music business was huge and everybody was rich. That was where I wanted to be. I played around making music, producing, and was a DJ. Music was really at the heart of it. Music was essentially my introduction to fashion, just from the styling, the pomp and circumstance of early '90s hip hop.
It's really the attitude and bravado of the music that we pull from.
Being at Blaze and VIBE, my career was centered around music. And that introduced me to the idea of being able to project an image not only through sound or writing, but also through visuals. That was a big part of my upbringing, and New York has always been the centerpiece. I went to school at Stuyvesant before it became Stuy Town—I know I'm dating myself. Those were my formative years of developing this distinctly New York point-of-view, and luckily I've been able to carry that throughout my career. It's like a sweet homecoming to produce fashion in New York and have the collection really be about New York—it being the centerpiece of our DNA is a beautiful thing.
During your tenure at Blaze the climate of hip-hop style revolved around "dressing tough to look tough," which is drastically different from how rappers dress today. Did that affect the designs? The colors are dark, and masculine fabrics like leather feature heavily.
Dao-Yi: From then to now in terms of how artists dress, the underlying feeling is still the same. It's still about being original and the first and only. I think for us, a lot of our design choices are centered around on capturing a moment. That "all eyes on you" moment—that's where a lot of the attitude comes into it. We set out to design things that are more augmentative—to make you feel stronger and more confident—things that are inside of you, but brought out by the clothes. It's really the attitude and bravado of the music that we pull from. You can draw that parallel where our collection feels that way because we're looking to capture that attitude.
Max, you grew up in New York too. Speaking of music, you said Jamaican music reminds you of when your mom blasted records by people like Gregory Isaacs. Did that influence you?
Maxwell Osborne: I wouldn't say it influenced me, but it definitely brought me back. I grew up listening to all types of music, mainly hip-hop, but there was always a feeling when listening to reggae—especially old school reggae—that makes me feels safe and happy. But yeah, I grew up here in New York. I was born in the village and moved to Brooklyn at 4. My family all lived in the West Village. I went to school at PS41. In high school I ended up going to a Catholic school in Brooklyn, which my mother felt was the better move for me at that point because I was a little "loose," and needed some structure, which in hindsight was a good decision.
A friend of mine on Instagram was like "Oh shoot, is that Max from elementary school?" and they were like "Oh, you're designing now? That's so crazy. You were always the creative one." They told me I wrote this song in class in 4th grade, and I had no recollection of that. It's funny how things come together. Nothing was planned. Me getting into fashion wasn't planned. I have an arts school background, but I hardly went to class. And then my mother got mad at me about messing that up and then she tried to force me to be a lawyer. She paid for a semester and I never went—I got in trouble for that too. Then I started working at a Tommy Hilfiger as a sales associate.
Is it true your boss at Tommy told you that you were "too good for the job?"
Maxwell: Yeah. This lady Molly, I forget her last name. She was older. Everybody thought she was the biggest bitch, but she was kind of cool. She wasn't really a bitch but she was focused. Before her everyone that worked there was was super comfortable and she was the new boss that came in and tried to set some rules. I was around 19 or 20 years old, I had left SVA after a semester. I just started taking the product seriously after not caring too much about it. I didn't even know what I wanted to do with my life, and I started really liking clothes.
I've always liked clothes, but I started looking at clothes from the business side. I was brushing up on clothing design, and starting to appreciate garment construction. And then an internship arose at Sean John where a friend of mine suggested I intern there. So I did.

Last night at the Condé Nast Traveler Awards, Morimoto wouldn't make a peep about The Next Iron Chef, laughing, "No. They're going to sue me." He wasn't the least bit shy when we asked him about the most exotic fish he's ever tried, though: "You know, fish brain and fish sperm, and of course, fish eyes. And fish guts and blood." He even gave Grub a very helpful fish-guts recipe!
"Marinate with salt maybe a week, just make salt and chop with some fish we call shiokara. Yeah, it's good with a drink." Got that? Nobu Matsuhisa, big on eyeballs and guts, too, generously offered his personal sperm recipe. "Just quick boil, but it's not cooked 110 percent. Sperm, you only use the fresh one; it's almost eaten raw." Speaking of fun times, Nobu says that besides the Nobu Hotel opening in Vegas next summer, his team is looking for more hotel locations … which will hopefully offer just basic room service.

Superfantastic reader Erin asked:
Slips: Do you wear them? How long are your slips? Because you're a year-round dress- and skirt-wearing woman in a cold climate, I assume that you're a slip fan. Slips keep my skirts and tights from ending up in a horrible tussle on my thighs (no one wants to see that). I think, however, that there may be some ladies who think slips are old fashioned, fussy, and unnecessary.
Well, friends, it's confession time: I am utter crap at slip implementation. I own several full slips, but they only get worn when I have about a billion heavy layers over them because they've got lots of gorgeous lacy embellishment … which means they generally show through my shirts. Also since I am generally on a mission to show off my waist, a traditional full slip only hinders: Unless worn with a dress (and most of my dresses are either lined or slippery), it pooches out at the waistband.
I mainly utilize my black shorty slip. It's short enough to work with a miniskirt … which means I have to hike it down to hoo-ha level for it to be effective with a knee-length skirt. Which I do. It's rather comic, really.
I can't say as I'm interested in shapewear slips, which would work fantastically with my close-fitting tops and longer skirts … mostly because I have to absolutely SHOEHORN myself into my Spanx and I prefer to save that whole ordeal for special occasions.
All that said, I do have some opinions and tips about slips. And those I shall now share:
1. If you're wearing tights with an unlined skirt, suck it up and wear a slip: I mean, unless you want to walk around with your skirt's hem wadded up in your crotch. Yes, slips are annoying. Yes, they're old fashioned. But seriously, how else are you gonna keep from looking like you're smuggling a squirrel nest between your thighs?
2. Ignore number one if the skirt you're wearing is floor-length: Any skirt that long is probably going to have enough weight to counteract the sticky-tights factor. Don't sweat a slip in this situation. Unless you want to.
3. Learn from my foolishness and buy slips in several lengths/styles: OK, two lengths will probably do the trick. Buy a short slip so you can wear your minis in comfort, and one that hits about three inches above your knee for slightly longer skirts. If you own lots of unlined dresses – sweater dresses, I'm looking at you – seek out a very plain full slip that sits flat beneath your outer garments.
4. Watch where that waistband falls: Unless you have washboard abs, the tiny, tight elastic waistband of a half slip will bisect you. And since you're ALSO wearing tights, you may end up trisected. Supremely annoying, take it from me. I tend to try two different tactics and see which works best: Hike everything up to my armpits where I'm less fleshy and hope it'll all stay put, or hike everything down to my pelvic bone. The second option is only implemented when I'm wearing a very thick skirt. Otherwise my segmentedness shows right through the fabric.
Slips with wide or stretch-lace waistbands make this less of a problem.
5. If you can afford it, just have a tailor LINE your unlined skirts: In an ideal world, we'd all have the dough to do this. In the real world, it might be worthwhile to have it done for your top three skirts. Just imagine the segmentation you'd avoid!
Audi has sung the praises of pettipants, and I'm very curious to try them for myself … but they somehow keep falling to the bottom of the wishlist. Right below "new nail clippers" and "replacement long underwear." Someday …

Chef Tiki's Creole Stuffed Breast of Capon Recipe
Submitted By:from Chicago.
Chef Tiki's Creole Stuffed Breast of Capon Notes
Roasted Capon on Christmas has been a family tradition since I was a kid. This is my twist for a new dish for my "Stylish Holiday Cooking" Series.
- 1 Breast of Capon
- 1 Tablespoon Chef Tiki's Blackening Spices (or store brand)
- 1 Tablespoon Chef Julius' Chicken Rub (or store brand)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Shallots
- 1 Cup Chopped Shiitake Mushrooms
- 1/4 Cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 Cup White Wine (preferably Pinot Grigio)
- 2 Tablespoons Red Chile Olive Oil
- 1/2 Cup Flat Leaf Parsley
- small amount Mince Celery
Serves / Yields
6 - 8 small servings
Preparation Instructions
Remove entire breast (2 halves) from the carcass of the Capon. Remember to keep the skin attached. Take 2T of the melted butter and cover the entire skin of the breast. Do not be afraid to rub it under the skin. Sprinkle the Blackening Spice on the same area you just rubbed in butter. Pat down seasoning so it holds better. Preheat a large metal skillet or rectangular roasting pan. Once pan is warm, add 1T of each, olive oil, garlic and shallots. Cook until shallots are translucent, be careful not to burn. With both hands, lay entire breast away from you (skin side down), into the pan. You should hear the oil pop. Cook 3 – 5 min, searing the spices into the skin. Do not turn over. You can check with a pair of tongs by slightly lifting the base of the breast. In a small saucepan over medium heat, 2T butter, 1T olive oil,1/4 cup parsley, some of the celery 1 cup mushrooms. Stir with wooden spoon until mushrooms soak up oil. Remove Capon from heat. Add breadcrumbs and white wine to herb mixture. Let the mixture reduce and remove from heat. Take 1T of chicken rub and season exposed side of Capon. Add herb mixture to the Capon. Fold and use cooking twine or toothpicks to hold the Capon together. Return stuffed Capon to same pan used to sear, cover with foil and place in 350 degree oven for 25 – 35 min (depending on the size of your Capon). After roasting, let it rest for 5 – 7 min, remove cooking twine or toothpicks.
Serve with a Mushroom or Wine Sauce.

Gazella leptoceros
|Scope: Global
|Scientific Name:
|Gazella leptoceros
|Species Authority:
|(F. Cuvier, 1842)
|Regional Assessments:
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Two subspecies have been named on the basis of phenotypic variation, although some authors have questioned the validity of named subspecies. Clarification through molecular genetic analysis is highly desirable.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Mallon, D.P., Cuzin, F., de Smet, K. & Hoffmann, M.
|Mallon, D.P. & Chardonnet, P. (Antelope Red List Authority)
Listed as Endangered as the total population is estimated at <2,500 mature individuals and is still declining. No subpopulation is estimated to number >250 mature individuals, although population data are very sparse. This assessment is based on a conservative estimate of numbers according to the precautionary principle. Current and planned field survey work may refine these figures.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Occurs across the Sahara, west of the River Nile. Distribution coincides with the larger ergs, though rare or absent on the south-east periphery and apparently absent from the western dune complexes (Devillers et al. 2005). It has disappeared from most of its former range in Egypt's Western Desert (Saleh 2001, El Alqamy and Baha El Din 2006). A single report from Morocco (Loggers et al. 1992) is unconfirmed.
The center of its distribution is found in the Great Western Erg, the Great Eastern Erg, the sandy zone which stretches from the Hamada de Tinrhert in Algeria to the Fezzan in Libya, and the smaller ergs in the periphery of the central Saharan massifs of the Hoggar and the Tassili des Ajjers (Beudels and Devillers, in press).
It is believed that the slender-horned gazelle was very widely distributed in the Sahara until relatively recently. In the last 10 years, its presence has been confirmed only in the Great Ergs of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and the extreme Western desert of Egypt. No reports to the south of these locations have been supported by any hard evidence (Beudels and Devillers, in press).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Algeria; Chad; Egypt; Libya; Mali; Niger; Sudan; Tunisia
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Numbers are believed to have undergone a serious decline due to uncontrolled hunting (Mallon and Kingswood 2001, Devillers et al. 2005). East (1999) estimated that the sub-Saharan Africa population could be as low as a few hundred and was unlikely to exceed a few thousand. Numbers are still declining in some areas mainly due to unregulated hunting. The size of the current population in Egypt and Libya is unknown, but is described as small (El Alqamy and Baha El Din 2006). All populations are reportedly small or very small. There is no recent survey information for several areas of the known range, and other areas of potential habitat such as the sand seas of Libya and western Algeria that have been poorly surveyed.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Favours areas of dunes (ergs) and interdunal depressions. Ranges widely in search of ephemeral vegetation.
|Major Threat(s):
|The main threat is hunting/poaching, though disturbance and degradation of natural habitats (especially erg vegetation) through desertification also has a negative impact (Devillers et al. 2005).
|Conservation Actions:
It is listed on CMS Appendix I and is included in the CMS Action Plan for Sahelo-Saharan Antelopes.
Known to occur in Djebil National Park and Senghar National Park in Tunisia, Tassili des Ajjers National Park in Algeria (where reported from the Erg of T'im Merzouga; K. de Smet pers. comm. 2007), and possibly the Aïr-Ténéré National Nature Reserve (Niger). The species is present in about 20 collections in North Africa, Europe and North America (Devillers et al. 2005). The total number in captivity is <200.

Garth Brooks has helped me have some interesting 'firsts' in my life," says songwriter and producer Kent Blazy. And Garth's smash hit "If Tomorrow Never Comes" was mostly responsible.
In 1989, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" became Garth's first No. 1 single (as a writer as well as a performer) and also Kent's first as a songwriter. And it marked the first of several future writing collaborations between the superstar-to-be and Kent, his co-writer on that fateful tune. They would go on to team up for the chart-toppers "Ain't Going Down ('Til The Sun Comes Up)" and "Somewhere Other Than The Night" as well as the Top 5 "It's Midnight Cinderella."
Garth has often acknowledged that "Kent probably wrote 99 percent [of the song]." But Kent remembers it as a true 50-50 partnership.
"The idea was Garth's," explains Kent. "He told me that he had run it by about 50 other writers, hoping to find someone to write the song with him, but none of them took any interest in it. They thought the title was too depressing."
But Kent was inspired. He saw it as an affirmation of life, rather than a statement about death. "It reminded me about something my mother had always told me," he explains. "You should tell the people you love how you feel about them while they are still alive. That's what it meant to me."
Garth got the ball rolling, Kent recalls. "He kind of knew how the first verse should go, and what we should talk about in that verse. Then we bounced words and ideas back and forth. We started writing the song for our own voices, and that helped us finish it."
Once they finished, Kent and Garth agreed that they were onto something big. "A lot of times, you're not really sure about a song, but Garth and I were really pumped about this," recalls Kent. "We pitched it to several artists right away, and George Jones actually had it on hold."
But Garth's management and label convinced Garth that he should record it. "It was right for him," agrees Kent. "One of the keys to his success is that he is a strong interpreter of songs, and no one could convey this song's emotion like Garth."
Years later, the song still packed a powerful emotional punch - even on Garth. "Probably in '96 or '97, it hit me," the singer recalls. "I was driving back from Kentucky to Nashville with the window down, and it came on the radio. And I just started bawling like a baby."
- Bob Paxman
"If Tomorrow Never Comes"
Written by Kent Blazy and Garth Brooks
Performed by Garth Brooks
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
If Tomorrow Never Comes

Wendy Hughes, (born July 29, 1952, Melbourne, Australia—died March 8, 2014, Sydney, Australia) (born July 29, 1952, Melbourne, Australia—died March 8, 2014, Sydney, Australia) Australian actress who brought warmth and nuanced complexity to a wide variety of roles over her four-decade stage and screen career. She was perhaps best known to international audiences for her work in the films My Brilliant Career (1979), Lonely Hearts (1982), Warm Nights on a Slow Moving Train (1988), and Careful, He Might Hear You (1983), which earned her a best actress award from the Australian Film Institute (AFI), and for her recurring role as the medical examiner Dr. Carol Blythe on the American TV drama Homicide: Life on the Street (1993). Hughes graduated (1970) from the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney before joining the Melbourne Theatre Company. Meanwhile, she was becoming a familiar face on such Australian TV shows as Homicide (1967–72) and, later, State Coroner (1997–98). She secured Logie television awards for Power Without Glory (1976) and Return to Eden (1983), as well as six AFI best actress nominations, including her 1983 win. Her American TV appearances included the miniseries Amerika (1987), Star Trek: The Next Generation (1993), and Snowy River: The McGregor Saga (1994–96; originally shown in Australia as The Man from Snowy River [1993–96]). In later years Hughes returned to the stage in Australia in such powerful dramas as Sweet Bird of Youth (2002), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (2007), and Honour (2010).

The Prince
by Niccolò Machiavelli
The Medici Family
Character Analysis
A Big, Happy, Family
You know these guys. Really. Remember in history class when your teacher was going over the Renaissance? When you weren't drawing pictures of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on your notes (yes, we saw that), you probably heard the name de' Medici so much that it started to get annoying. That's because they're kind of a big deal.
The family (or the Family) ran things behind the scenes in Florence. If you want something done—any horse heads left in people's beds or casinos funded—these were the people who could help you out. And Machiavelli knew it.
Lorenzo "Il Magnifico" de' Medici
This guy took power the same year that Machiavelli was born. The family had already been working the levers behind the scenes for a while, and Lorenzo just carried on the trend. Of course, Florence likes to say that they had no ruler and that they ran the government themselves, but that was a pretty blatant lie.
Piero "The Unfortunate" de' Medici
This guy is the son of Lorenzo, and not so "magnificent." He was exiled just two years after he came to power because he basically just let the king of France march into Florence. People were not too happy about that. After he ran away, they stole all the stuff from the Medicis' family home. His failure meant that Medici rulers didn't take back Florence until 1512, eighteen years later. His end was the beginning of the Republic of Florence.
Pope Leo X (Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici)
This guy was the pope while Machiavelli was writing. He seems more worthy of the word virtù than the warmongering popes before him. Machiavelli flatters him by saying, "On Julius's death, his Holiness Pope Leo found the papacy in an extremely strong position and it is to be hoped that while his predecessors made the Church great by armed force, he can make it even greater and more praiseworthy thanks to his goodness and many, many other virtues" (11.5). Not just "many" virtues: "many, many" virtues.
Giuliano de' Medici, Duke of Nemours
Not much to say here. Giuliano ruled when the Medicis came back to Florence in 1512. Machiavelli originally dedicated The Prince to this guy, but since Giuliano died unexpectedly after only four years, he just changed the name to his successor, Lorenzo.
Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici , Duke of Urbino
Machiavelli pleaded with Lorenzo to unify Italy, but unfortunately for him this Medici was not listening and would die four years later from syphilis. Oops.
Why the Medicis?
Now you know all about them, but why did Machiavelli chose them as the saviors of Italy? The answer is simple, really. Because he thought they could actually do it. This is a family that was used to ruling and groomed all its kids to take the reins. They had lots of money and the resources to do it. Plus, the pope is one of them! Look how well that worked for Borgia.
If any family could rule Italy with a brutal iron fist, they could.
They just didn't.
Sorry, Machiavelli.Timeline

The winner of numerous Audience Awards for Best Documentary, Praying with Lior asks whether someone with Down syndrome can be a "spiritual genius." Many believe Lior is close to God -- at least that's what his family and community believe -- though he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on who is asked and when. As this moving and entertaining documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood - his Bar Mitzvah.
