Rihanna's Rebellion
Ri-ri has apparently been losing her damn mind all over and it's all coming to her possibly heading to rehab, according to reports.
There are stories flying in by the moment of the latest antics from the pop singer. And the majority of them are from this week alone.
Let's do a quick rundown, shall we?
On Monday, Rihanna was seen strolling down NYC (SoHo, to be exact) wearing a skirt with a see-through bra that didn't leave much to the imagination. While it is Summer, take it from me: I'm a New Yorker. It wasn't that damn hot.
Also, for the third time in a matter of days, Ri-Ri was seen partying it up with ex Chris Brown, bringing up further rumors that the two have hooked up once more. The first time was in L.A., where there was apparently a stare-off between the two while Chris spent some time with current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran before following that up on Saturday with the two both being at Manhattan hot spot, SL.
Last night, the two were spotted once again at Avenue, another popular nightclub in NYC. From the New York Post:
Brown was partying at Meatpacking District hot spot Catch Roof with friends after hosting a bash for his Dum English collaboration with artist Ron English in SoHo. Sources tell us Brown got word that Rihanna was on her way to Catch, but he left with his friends and went to Avenue in Chelsea. But half an hour later, Rihanna showed up at Avenue with a crew of friends including Aziz Ansari, and sat at a separate booth. Spies tell us she and Brown looked as if they were texting each other from the tables — both were looking down at their phones and smiling.
However, it seems like moments like these and her constant partying ways as of late are all signs that Rihanna is spinning further and further out of control and has led to mentor/record label header, Jay-Z to order her to rehab. From Entertainment Wise:
"Rihanna has been out of control for months. She was supposed to catch a flight back to the UK last week [from a bash Jay and Kanye West had in London back in May], but she ended up missing it, which was the final straw for management," a source told Closer Magazine.
"Jay-Z hit the roof when he found out, and told Rihanna, 'Go to rehab now or I'll drop you from the label.' She's not happy, but she now feels she has no choice."
At the time the star tweeted that Jay-Z had given her the day off to recover, but sources reveal she needs much more than just a day to get back on her feet.
"She's reached breaking point. Ri says she's physically and mentally exhausted and feeling lost. I think she desperately needs help and some time off – not just from work but from all the other stresses in her life too," the source added.
It seems like the stress of releasing an album a year since 2005′s "Music of the Sun" up to last year's "Talk That Talk", along with a grandmother dealing with cancer may finally be forcing that "Rihanna Reign" to let up.
Get it together, girl!

State: | LA |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Dear Sir or Madam: I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. I understand it is the responsibility of the FTC to protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts or practices," but the rule as proposed would make it very difficult for me to operate as a Shaklee Independent Distributor. One of the most confusing and burdensome sections of the proposed rule is the 7-day waiting period to enroll new distributors. Most people who sign an application do so to purchase Shaklee products at wholesale. In other words, they are solely consumers of the products. If they later wish to build a business, all they must do is supply Shaklee Corporation with their SSN or Tax ID. There is no additional kit, fee or application required. The Shaklee Member Kit costs only $19.95. This is less than many, if not most, consumer purchases, from TVs to all manner of appliances, none of which require a 7-day waiting period. In addition, the waiting period is unnecessary in that Shaklee Corporation already has a 90% buyback policy for products, including the Member Kit, purchased by a distributor within the last two years. The proposed rule requires the disclosure of a minimum of 10 prior purchasers nearest to the prospective purchaser. There are many problems with this proposed requirement. In this day of identity theft, I am uncomfortable giving out personal information of other Shaklee distributors, without their knowledge or consent, to strangers. I understand that those who sign up after the rule takes effect would be told in writing "If you buy a business opportunity from the seller, your contact information can be disclosed in the future to other buyers." I believe this would dissuade new people from signing up as distributors as they are concerned not only about identity theft, but also about their privacy. People today are understandably reluctant to share their personal information with individuals they may never have met. The 10 reference requirement also is an administrative burden. In order to obtain the list of 10 prior purchasers, I will need to provide Shaklee Corporation with the prospective distributor's address, and then wait to receive the list of the 10 nearest distributors who became such within the past 3 years. Each prospective recruit will need a customized disclosure statement. This will result in a delay far longer than 7 calendar days before any potential recruit can sign an application. In view of the fact that many people enter direct selling part-time to earn extra income for a specific goal, such as holiday purchases or family vacation, the long wait may make the goal unattainable. The proposed rule calls for release of information regarding lawsuits that allege misrepresentation, or unfair or deceptive practices over a 10-year period. It does not matter if the company was found innocent or not liable. Today, almost all business lawsuits contain claims of misrepresentation or unfair competition. It does not make sense to me that I would have to disclose these lawsuits unless Shaklee Corporation, or its officers, directors or sales department employees, had been found guilty or liable. Otherwise, 50-year old companies such as Shaklee Corporation and their distributors would be placed at a disadvantage compared to start-up companies, which may not yet have experienced litigation but are far more likely to have legal issues surrounding their opportunities. I have been a Shaklee Distributor for more than 20 years—originally because I love the Company's nutritional/personal care/household products and wanted to earn some additional income. Now I depend upon this income for my livelihood. While I appreciate the work of the FTC to protect consumers, I believe this proposed rule has many unintended consequences for direct sellers. There are less burdensome alternatives available to the agency to achieve its goals. Thank you for your time in considering my comments.

King Solomon and the Bee
For many years children have been charmed by the adaptation of the classic tale of King Solomon and an oh-so-smart bee, in the book King Solomon and the Bee, in which the clever bee helps King Solomon solve a riddle posed by the Queen of Sheba. The book by Dalia Hardof Renberg, illustrated by Ruth Heller, was originally published in 1994 by HarperCollins. To the delight of teachers and librarians, a paperback edition of King Solomon and the Bee was recently published by Interlink Publishing. Dalia is also the author of The Complete Family Guide to Jewish Holidays and another children's picture book, Hello, Clouds. I'm thrilled that Dalia was able to answer a few questions about her classic book.
What inspired you to write King Solomon and the Bee?
I always liked the story. One day,I wanted to tell my first grandchild, Aaron, some Israeli and Jewish children's stories. I was mentally collecting such stories, when I remembered, all of a sudden, the Bee story. After looking around and not finding it in English for children, I did some research, including about the rights to the story, and concluded that I should write a children's version.
I wrote it on speculation and showed it to my editor at HarperCollins, who liked it very much. Knowing that I'm an artistic type, she allowed me to participate in the search for an illustrator, which, of course, is unusual. Most editors don't like to involve the writer until the very end. When she asked how I felt about Ruth Heller, I was delighted.
The book is newly released in paperback. Can you share a bit about this process?
Publishers have a formula to which I am not privy. The essence of it is that a certain number of books have to be sold in a certain time frame. If the sales don't reach the desirable number, publishers don't come out with a paperback edition. This was the case, anyway, many years ago when my editor left HarperCollins, and the book became an orphan. In spite of the fact that the book got good reviews, there was not anybody to push it. Since there were not enough sales, the book was cancelled. For years, I wanted to revive it but could not until I heard about The PJ Library. At a conference for writers who write about Jewish subjects, I heard a lot about their great program of publishing and giving free books to Jewish families. I submitted the book, and it was accepted. They ordered copies of a special edition, but I made sure that the publisher would print more copies of the regular edition for the general public.
What is the best part of being an author of children's books?
I get the most pleasure when I see the children's responses in person. Hearing a child using his/her imagination while looking at clouds after hearing my story "Hello, Clouds!" is very rewarding. Hearing a child asking questions about Jewish holidays after being read to, or after using my "Complete Family Guide to Jewish Holidays" is heartwarming. So is a child telling me a riddle that the queen should have asked the king. Watching children's delight when hearing the cheeky little bee talking to Solomon is really amusing.
What is your favorite holiday?
It might surprise you, but it is a somewhat minor, obscure holiday: La'g Ba'omer. It is not mentioned in the Bible, and, therefore there is speculation about its origin. Whatever the facts, as children in Israel we celebrated it in ways that left me with sweet memories. On the eve of the holiday, we children walked in a parade (organized by youth movements), holding torches which we made that afternoon. We ended up in a field where a huge bone fire was created. After that we danced the Hora and other dances around it. Later, when the fire subsided somewhat, we baked potatoes in it. Each child had a stick with a nail at the end to pick up the hot potatoes. We did not have marshmallows in those days. This kind of celebration was repeated in empty fields all over the country.
The next day, instead of school, we went on a picnic with the teachers. We brought with us hard boiled eggs, which we had decorated in school or at home, and played many relay games and shot things with bows and arrows, which we made from tree branches.
Dalia, thanks for stopping by to share the buzz about your book!

*Click to next picture* OMG, is that a picture of his dog as his iPhone wallpaper??
*Click click* AND he's eating brunch with Kenneth Ellen Parcell???
Then it hit me. Jon Hamm is who Jake Ryan grew up to be. Not only would he befriend The Geek in high school, he would still be friends with him 20 years later.
This man…. It just makes me happy knowing he exists.

Parking, location draw tattoo shop to Troy
TROY — Twisted Creations Tattoo is open and ready to ink at 459 Fulton St.
Its owner and lead artist, Jeremy Hazel, relocated to Troy from his original location in Bennington, Vermont, where he owned a small shop, working on bigger tattoos for one or two appointments a week.
"I missed working in a busy downtown street level shop," Hazel said.
Just three and a half months ago, Hazel was considering either Albany or Troy for his shop's new location. When he couldn't find any parking during Albany's busy St. Patrick's Day parade, he decided to look at Troy's real estate.
Twisted Creations Tattoo provides both first-time and returning clients both a clean environment and experienced artists who thrive on custom work. Hazel also works with a piercer and an apprentice.
"We are a tight knit group that focuses on long-term relationships with our clients, making certain we give them exactly what they want, when they want it," Hazel said. "We pride ourselves on the consistency and innovation of our art."
Hazel said what makes his tattoo shop different from others is its inside appeal. He explained that while most shops have bright colors and designs on their walls, his shop is more toned down with an antique copper theme, giving it a calmer atmosphere.
Mayor Lou Rosamilia, along with County Executive Kathy Jimino and Business Improvement District Executive Director Elizabeth Young, was at the grand opening to help Hazel cut the ribbon in front of his new shop.
"I am pleased to welcome Jeremy Hazel and Twisted Creations Tattoo to Troy," Rosamilia said. "Small businesses are the economic engine that helps drive our city's prosperity."
While Hazel received certificates for the grand opening of his shop, he gave Rosamilia a framed piece of art featuring his shop's mascot. Continued...
Rosamilia said it's an exciting time in downtown Troy and there is a great deal of activity in the city as a whole.
"It's a perfect environment for Twisted Creations Tattoo and other new businesses to hit the ground running," Rosamilia said.
Tattoo Creations Tattoo is open daily from noon to 9 p.m. For more information, call (509) 855-6778 or visit its website at www.twistedcreationstattoo.com.

Its not the best moisturizer out there but it does a decent job. I don't think it really helps with stress but I still like the light texture and smell.

Love this scent! I'm not a huge fan of lavender fragrances, so I was iffy on this, but it doesn't smell like lavender at all! Has a very nice floral scent that lingers all day. Makes my hands super soft. The big bottle will last quite a while!

This is one of my favorite lotions. I've used Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing lotion before (no scent), and while it's amazing, I wanted something a little lighter but still moisturizing for the warmer months. I'm hooked. The scent is to die for- it is light and in no way artificial or overbearing once applied- it's hard to describe, just slightly floral and pretty. If you're one who cannot stand scented beauty products, I would opt for the Daily Moisturizing lotion-- both have excellent moisturizing properties, but the Daily Moisturizing Lotion is fragrance-free (but it's pretty heavy duty). The Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion is the perfect balance of light and moisturizing. It's not too thick/waxy, nor is it watered down.I apply this after I take a shower, and am left with perfectly soft skin that lasts throughout the day, and even onto the next, so there's no need to reapply. I LOVE the scent too, which lingers on my skin, so it sometimes takes the place of perfume (two birds with one stone :) ). It doesn't smell of lavender, so I'm assuming it's more Ylang-Ylang -y, though I'm not sure. Now, I don't expect a miracle product that's going to melt the stress away (a nice, hot bath with lavender oil would do), but I really enjoy using this lotion, because it really does leave my skin moisturized ALL day, and then some. I can't believe I went so long without using a lotion daily. If I could fall in love with a lotion, this would be it, lol.

HG Lotion!
It's such a gorgeous smell, and this coming from a fragrance sensitive person! I normally am too lazy to use lotions/creams for body but this makes it so fun and easy...love that it gets absorbed straightaway and is so lightweight. Even if I don't use it daily, it keeps my skin soft for a few days.Love using it after gym to relax my muscles.The packaging is very easy to use and I have repurchased and will so again.

This stuff makes your skin baby-bottom-soft, especially when combined with the body wash. The scent is great and relaxing--perfect for early mornings when you start your day and at night when you end it. I have a skin condition but this stuff didn't irritate it at all and actually improved my skin's appearance.

I love this stuff! It's not a heavy duty moisturizer but for after the shower, or daily hand lotion is is doing pretty well keeping my skin hydrated. It sinks in fast, and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I really like the scent too. It smells sort of like lavender with other floral notes, but isn't overpowering or old lady smelling at all. It's a tad expensive for a drugstore product (14 dollars Canadian) but it lasts long and my skin feels great so I don't mind so much.
Oh and it has a pump! I love lotions that come with a pump because otherwise I always end up getting the cap all dirty.

I really love this product, i bought it last night because I've heard a lot of the benifits of oatmeal, and I drink chamomile tea at home and it really does relax me. I bought it as it was on sale (10$ instead of 14$ for the 532ml) and tried it on after my shower. This made my skin feel so soft and has a very nice scent. I put in on after my shower because my pores open up and that's when you should really moisturize to get the benifits of this product. My hands/body is really softer, though it does dry up fast the moisture is sort of locked in your skin. The part that says "Stress Relief" doesn't actually means it takes away your stress, and I've seen people write that it was disapointing because it doesn't get rid of their stress. It may not to relieve you of it emotionally, but phisically you can see you skin looking more relaxed and rejuvenated after one use. It is pricey but I would really recommend this product because it has a lot of godd sides for me and my skin. This may not work on everybody, because it all depends on the way you maintain your skin, so you should know what would be best for you judging by you daily skin routine. I hoped this helped you if you were thinking of buying this product! (:
P.S. I do NOT recomment this for your face, because your facial needs and your body nees are very different, this product may cause your face to create extra sebum because it dries up fast, buy a lotion made for your face instead of a body lotion.
P.P.S. Sorry forgot to add that in the beggining, it does feel greasy, let it settle in a bit and it'll feel normal and soft again. (:

Really nice skin lotion, good for extra dry skin during the winter and it's non greasy and dries and soaks in almost right away
The smell has a hint of something medicine-like I wasn't too fond of it
The bottle could be bigger but aveeno lotions are always medium height and stout
I would recommend this to people with dry and itchy skin it works very well

The smell is amazing, it reminds me of baby lotion. I personally only use it on my face at night because the smell is only perfect for night. I would never use this product in the morning or afternoon. It does take a while to sink in and penetrate. It says that it never leaves a greasy mess, but that is what I found. Every night when I put it on, my face is wet and just...lotiony. I sleep in it and wake up with a moisturized but extremely greasy self. I have to wash my face and try to get it off with a makeup removing cloth. I suppose it would be a good product for children and babies too. The smell is a lavender scent, not really made for men is my guess. Above all, it calms me and moisturizer (even if it does it too much) and is great for a 'to bed' lotion.

I love the smell of this lotion, it's definitely a relaxing scent. It's supposed to smell like lavender and chamomile but oddly enough, it reminds me a lot of cedar, just more floral. I took one point off because it doesn't absorb into the skin as quickly as other lotions, and putting too much on at once results in a greasy mess.

I heard great things about Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion so I went to my local drugstore to pick it up. Lo and behold, I spotted this version instead and decided to upgrade since I love lavender and chamomile. Best. Lotion. Ever. I usually never bother to moisturize my body but I find myself slathering this on after each shower because the scent is so amazing and it makes my skin so soft. It's not greasy at all and absorbs really well. I use this as a hand lotion too. The scent is soo soothing. I truly believe I get a better night's rest when I use this right before bedtime.

I put the price on this product as a little high, because it is high for a drugstore product at the same price as a dept store product for the size-but less than most spa products. It's still a bargain at $12 though.
Smells light and lovely, like lavender for babies, not a strong French lavender. Soaks in very well and is very moisturizing. I bought this after using the body wash which has the same scent and is also lightly moisturizing and calms my winter weary skin.
This is a good everyday lotion because it's lightly scented, so not too clashy with perfumes, it soaks in well so no greasiness, does actually soften, and is a good bargain.

My sister in law turned me on to this lotion and I like it quite a bit. The scent is soothing, a nice muted lavender, not overpowering. This is perfect for hands because it absorbs very quickly; it leaves my hands soft but still functional. For very dry skin this may be not enough, but it works well for me.

I love using this after I use my gentle exfoliater. It glides on smooth and leaves my skin nice and soft. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling behind it just sinks in and soothes my skin. I love it. Doesn't clog my pores either.

Lovely product, soaked in well and the smell is delicious. Not too overpowering or strong. In fact my boyfriend and male workmate both said that they would use it. I like the fact its a in big pump bottle so easy to use. It soaks in well without too much massaging in so you can get dressed quickly. When I went for a run it didn't come up feeling greasy afterwards so I know its working not just sitting on my skin.
I would definitely use again, its a nice gentle product that I think delivered and the smell is really nice.

I've used Aveeno's regular daily moisture lotion with oatmeal for ages and love it, and the Stress Relief version is really nice--awesome scent without the straight lavendar that usually gets trotted out in "relaxing" products, and a nice formulation. I find it non-greasy and easily absorbed, and it doesn't get everywhere if I put it on right before bed. I'll buy again.

This is a great lotion. I love the smell (not too strong on the lavendar.. in fact, I don't even like the scent of lavendar). The cream is just the right consistency and does not leave build up on the skin. This absorbs quickly and easily and I notice hydration in my skin instantly. The best part about this moisturizer is it does not bother my folliculitis - which means it is not too thick/oily to clog pores and follicules. I think many with problem skin could benefit from this every day lotion.

Jockeying for positions: The Aggies
football team (above) get randy and ready for a visit with Miss Mona
(J.J. Hobbs, below, left) and her clientele in The Best Little
Whorehouse in Texas.
One of the most unusual pieces of Americana to come down the pike, Whorehouse puts a corn-fed grinning face on prostitution in the heartland. Based on Texas journalist Larry L. King's article in Playboy
chronicling the rise and fall of the real Chicken Ranch brothel, the
show's book by King and showbiz veteran Peter Masterson bounces happily
between dirty jokes, folktales and sociological studies. With a jaunty
score by Carol Hall, Whorehouse served up enough political
satire and winking jokes to keep the Broadway show running for four
years and spawn a less successful 1982 movie version starring Burt
Reynolds and Dolly Parton.
The Chicken Ranch, an East Texas
institution, got its name during the Depression, when customers brought
poultry to trade for the ladies' services. A visit to the ranch even
became a part of the initiation ritual for Texas A&M University
freshmen. The place chugged along until running afoul of a crusading
broadcaster who exposed the political good ole boy network that kept it
off law enforcement's radar.
The musical, set in November 1973,
centers on the fictional lady in charge. Miss Mona Stangley, who
doesn't like to be called a madam, nurtures her girls and makes sure to
provide an (almost) wholesome experience for their customers, who seem
to include every man in the county. Mona's special relationship with
Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd keeps things rolling along fine for the ranch. It
seems Mona and Ed Earl shared a special moment during John F. Kennedy's
inauguration, and she just can't forget it. Director Thompson,
recognizing the Dukes of Hazzard flavor of the material, also serves as the cheerful narrator.
Although Whorehouse
entertainingly follows the outline of the big Broadway musical, the
book appears a bit tentative as it explores the motivations of its
perky ladies of the evening. The stories of Angel and Shy (played by
Meredith Van Scoy and Aisling Halpin), two new recruits who give us the
first look into Miss Mona's family-style way of doing business, are
sketchy. We want to know more about them than song and dance allows.
The show pops to life a half-hour in
with a realistically drawn diner scene, as local politicians and a town
journalist discuss the ranch crisis under the watchful eye and sharp
tongue of waitress Doatsey Mae, here sharply portrayed by Katherine
Proctor. This scene, a vivid reminder that Whorehouse was
originally staged by the Actors' Studio, leads to the song, "Doatsey
Mae," in which the waitress opens the screen door to all the
unfulfilled longings of a small-town girl grown up.
Hard upon this wistful moment, the stage
explodes joyously as the Texas Aggies football team prepares for their
night at the Chicken Ranch. The relentlessly exuberant choreography by
Daniel B. Hess brings the boys from the locker room to the steps of
Mona's place. With so much expert high-stepping going on, it's tough to
believe they still have the energy for what waits for them beyond the
front porch.
A musical with as many irons in the fire as Whorehouse
rises or falls by the strength of its ensemble. J.J. Hobbs sometimes
seems swamped in Miss Mona's camped-up glad rags, yet all is forgiven
when she opens her mouth to sing, lending both sensitivity and
authority to "The Bus From Amarillo." Scott Wakefield inhabits Ed Earl;
as foulmouthed Southernisms roll easily off his tongue, Wakefield knows
how to land a joke, and every sniff or roll of the shoulder takes on
As Melvin P. Thorpe, a broad caricature
of the Southern crusading reporter-cum-revivalist, Michael Kreutz
hilariously works it hard under a towering white pompadour. Big-voiced
Mitzi Greshawn Smith as Jewel, Miss Mona's wise and lusty maid, rocks
the stage with two of the show's best numbers, "Twenty-Four Hours of
Love" and "No Lies." CRT favorite Claus Evans puts in a terrific cameo
as the Texas governor who illustrates an all-too-familiar political
dance in "The Sidestep." The jim-dandy chorus of assorted townsfolk,
"girls" and college boys add a real sheen to the production.
Cortland Repertory's winning mounting of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas almost makes us forget the less wholesome aspects of the show. Now that's a real trick.
This production runs through Aug. 2. See Times Table for information.

In the rest of the country, holiday travel is up over last year. But not here. It's down 4 percent, according to AAA Mid Atlantic. The group's John Townsend says gas prices - they've risen 95 cents this year - and the economy are to blame.
"Now the strange thing about it is, Washington is one of the most robust economies in the country, but you still have pockets in the Washington metro area, there are people who are still struggling and that's the real story here," he says.
Townsend adds people are also picking and choosing their holiday travels - many more people in our region traveled for Thanksgiving, fewer for the winter holidays.

CAE has acquired Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) for $309 million. The company says the acquisition strengthens its civil aviation training by increasing its training center footprint, growing its Ab-Initio flight training network and extending its portfolio by adding OAA's Parc Aviation.
"We are very excited about this acquisition as it enables us to offer our customers more locations and additional training capacity as well as a new service for pilot and maintenance crew sourcing. We have greatly enhanced CAE's industry-leading position with the addition of two of the industry's strongest brands in Ab-Initio aviation training and crew sourcing: Oxford Aviation Academy and Parc Aviation," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and CEO. "Civil aerospace market fundamentals are strong and we are increasing our position at an opportune time. With this acquisition, CAE responds to market demand with an increased footprint and a complete end-to-end solution for commercial aviation."
The acquisition strengthens CAE's position in capturing the long-term and growing market demand for aviation professionals:
Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) had revenues of approximately $276 million during CAE's fiscal year 2012 and the purchase price represents approximately 9 times OAA's EBITDA during the same period. The acquisition will be accretive to CAE's earnings in fiscal year 2014. CAE has financed the acquisition with a new senior unsecured credit facility.

Quick Links For Faculty and Staff
Why Support Southeastern?
For many Southeastern faculty and staff, supporting the University is something that happens on the job, day in and day out, in classrooms, labs, offices, and throughout the Southeastern campus. The notion of making private contributions to the University, on top of one's daily work efforts, might seem a bit of a stretch for those who already give so much of their time and effort.
And yet, faculty and staff know better than most what it means to be a "state-assisted" University, rather than a "state-supported" institution. Faculty and staff have seen, first hand, what a difference private support can make in everything from student scholarships to ongoing support for research projects, curriculum enhancements, and technology upgrades.
The need for private support is clear -- and the need for private support from Southeastern faculty and staff is doubly so: Not only do contributions from faculty and staff, when added to support from alumni and friends, help build Southeastern on its standards of academic excellence, but -- just as important -- faculty and staff support sends an important message.
Your gifts tell alumni and friends that those closest to the University - those who know it best, from the inside out -believe so strongly in Southeastern's mission that you're willing to support the institution through charitable gifts, as well as on the job. That's a powerful endorsement, and on that serves as a meaningful motivator to alumni and friends that Southeastern is worthy of their support.

- University Wide Unrestricted Support (Annual Fund)

Blackhawks equal NHL record with at least 1 point in first 16 games
(MCT) — CHICAGO — Three times the Blackhawks broke in alone on Vancouver Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider during the opening period. Three times they came away empty.
For a while, it appeared that for the first time all season maybe it wouldn't be the Hawks' night as they faced their archrivals Tuesday night at the United Center.

Apple just announced the newest iPad, which will be called the iPad, and not the iPad 3 or iPad HD or iPad: Eddie Bauer Edition or with any other modifier. The big hits: it's got a better screen ("better" in this case meaning Apple has stolen all the pixels in the world and crammed them into the new iPad), a faster processor, an optional 4G LTE chip, and some software updates.
So the big news here is the screen resolution, which is bonkers. At 2048 x 1536 pixels, it has significantly more pixels than not just the old iPad, but also your 1080p HDTV and just about any other "HD" screen you've got lying around. Apple's again referring to it as a "Retina Display," which means that you won't be able to see pixels with your bare, weakened, organic eyeballs, at least from the 15-inch distance Apple estimates most people have between their eyes and their iPads. (Note: Apple is clearly excluding cats, which have more sensitive eyes and sit closer to the iPad anyway. This is offensive, probably.) That'll mean every publisher is going to have to re-do their apps for the new resolution, the same way they had to for the transition from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4.
Also included: a new processor, dubbed the A5X, that provides quad-core power. The Tegra 3, which powers a few Android tablets, is also quad-core, but Apple needs the power to burn through the kinds of apps that will take advantage of the new display. Plus there's a 4G LTE antenna, either for AT&T or Verizon, which is pretty great--we're totally impressed by LTE, so it's great to see it here. And Apple has presumably worked some kind of gypsy magic to keep the battery life steady at 10 hours for Wi-Fi and nine hours for 4G--we've seen LTE absolutely slaughter battery life in phones, but hopefully Apple's worked that out.
Oh, and the company also announced a new Apple TV! Seems like basically just a firmware upgrade, though it's not clear if older Apple TVs will get it. There's a new version of the software, some nice bonuses like being able to use iCloud for 1080p movie streaming, and shows available the next day for purchase. No Siri, though, which bums us out because we spent all morning dreaming about how sweet that'd be.
The iPad and Apple TV both maintain pricing: iPad starts at $500, moving up from there due to storage and 4G inclusion, and the Apple TV costs $100.
I will buy one. Apple puts out the best products.

LOL @ the specs
No wow factor
No thanks to all those pixels
What i find funny about this article, is that it claims the new iPad has a faster processor. Yet its quite the opposite. It still uses a A2 chip like the iPad 2. the graphics card is now a quad core but it also has to handle more pixels and therefore run at a higher GPU capacity to keep up with games. So it will still run the same speed as a iPad 2. So i say no thanks.
A5 chip* typo sorry
Is that because the iPad2 runs so slowly? (which it doesn't - do you have any side by side comparisons to determine if any other tablet is faster?)
You don't want to be viewing a gorgeous screen that performs better than any current tablet?
The new iPad screams through graphics and looks beautiful doing it.
You two are too funny. Neither of you would buy a tablet, let alone an iPad anyway so what's the deal? Just being trolls are you? Good luck with that.
na i think ill stick w the Transformer Prime. it already had all that minus the ridiculous display.
LOL at people buying an Apple product ever 6 months a new one comes out. Don't really like tablets anyways. Sure they're cool and fun, but I'd much rather have a laptop and smartphone.
Apple, like so many companies today, is a master of marketing. They manage to convince many millions of people around the world that they suddenly have a product that their device will solve for them. Oddly enough, 99% of the problems that their device solves were never seen as problems before. It's common for me to hear people who are hooked on such products describe them to me as, "It's not more than you need, it's just more than you're used to."
I have many friends, coworkers, and neighbors who find themselves spending $1000-$2000 a year now on iPads, iPhones, apps (most of which are just entertainment), e-books, etc. Many of them tell me they are tight on their finances, due to the economy, and that they never have time to do many of the things they used to do. Only upon asking them some rather pointed questions do they admit (or even realize) that what they've done is spent a lot of money just to mostly waste their time. I had one friend who, after such a discussion, actually felt physically ill afterwards, realizing how he's changed. He said something to the effect of, "I can't believe I've actually spent a thousand bucks on a glorified toy that eats my time, makes me anti-social, and has made me fat and lazy. I feel like such a sheep."
I'm a big fan of technology, and am often an early adopter of technologies that I feel actually meet a real need I actually have. I've got backgrounds in programming and computer support, degrees in marketing and engineering, have managed the IT operations of small investment firms, and currently own a tech firm that provides web tools to wireless dealers, so I have a great deal of tech experience. So much so that anybody who knows me and has any kind of tech question comes to me first. And yet... I don't find the need to own many of the gadgets that everyone froths for these days.
Maybe it's my marketing degree, but I guess I just understand the difference in my life between an actual need and a want that has been portrayed by some company's marketing department as a need. It's part of what has made me successful and happy and secure.
As for the iPad... I do not need one. It doesn't offer me the capabilities of a laptop, so I can't justify it to work. But as a toy it is very limited as well, compared to the full realm of toys I like to play with (everything from cycling to rock climbing to bowling), so I can't justify it for myself as a toy. And most importantly, as a toy, it doesn't actually provide real-life interaction with my friends and family members. I like to actually, you know, DO SOMETHING with the people I actually care about.
So although Apple will try to convince me that I NEED this product, I know that I don't, so I won't waste my money or (more importantly) my time on it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the climbing gym with friends! =)
LOL marcoreid
Technology in general can steal your life from you and your friends. Now everyone turn off your computer/phone/ipad. Theres a bigger and better world out there past that screen your looking at. Go out and enjoy it!!
@Boka- that is by far one of my favorite quotes!
@boka and Kyled
There is a God.
Where will you spend eternity? It's an honest question
It's a glorious day, the iPad HD+ has been unleashed upon the world.
There is nothing that even comes close to competing with it.... Except real life.
I choose to keep my money, despite the iPad's ability to walk on water... I won't be buying one.
Just no need, honestly. My smartphone, laptop, and desktop consume too much of my time as it is.
You call yourself an atheist, claiming there is no God, and yet, you cling so religiously to this belief that it becomes your god. I am buying an iPad. Haters gonna hate, trolls go home.
Yawn! no reason to buy one if you already have ipad2
LOL, you just wrote a page about not wanting an iPad. If you really don't need one or care, then why waste your time writing the iPad.
The upgrade the CPU is great, this means low level programming can also utilize the computing power and not just in games and graphics but mathematical calculations. I would like to see H.264 encoding and decoding? I bet that is going to be a feature they add.
Crapple nuff said
Oh, sigh.....
I suppose one day, when I when the Lotto and I have the happy to desire to spend my money frivolously, I will buy this proprietary gizmo that will become obsolete in 5 minutes and then I will not care.
Until that happens, I will pass.
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.

Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy DebunkedWasn't a requirement recently passed requiring all Student to have a foreign language before they graduate from SMU? Also Stallion, what about athlete friendly majors?
"We will play man to man and we will pick you up at the airport." - Larry Brown
Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy Debunked
was it spanish sign language? Derail the offseason!
Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy DebunkedI don't think anyone on our football team has any experience using hand signals...
Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy Debunked
A+ ...but our fans do. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy Debunked
Actually, not true. I graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, and I neither took, nor placed out, of any foreign language. I did take a great deal of Spanish throughout middle and high school. One of the "arms" of the core curriculum was HEAVILY populated with foreign languages, but there ARE ways to avoid it. I, for instance, took anthropology, and that fulfilled the requirement. That said, I'm not quite sure why we're discussing this here. It doesn't affect admissions, and I refuse to believe that any athlete is making decisions based on what classes will be required WHILE attending university. Stallion doesn't think I'm a stinkin' genius anymore.
Re: Another Curriculum Conspiracy DebunkedWhen SMU offers the same degree plans in phys ed and other sports related degrees offered at the big state schools then we will be on their academic level. Fortunately, we are graduating our kids unlike Saint Mack Brown.

Madeline Poole on Style Bistro
Nailing Hollywood: Talking Trends with Celebrity Nail Artist Madeline Poole
(Photos: Madeline Pool Nails)
Madeline Poole is the crystal ball of the nail art world—and the future looks empty (as in negative space, but more on that later). As the newest manicurist of Nailing Hollywood, a two-year-old Los Angeles-based agency with a serious celebrity clientele (think Miley Cyrus, Michelle Williams, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, and Lea Michele, among others), Madeline's done everything from decoupaging dollar bills to inventing galaxies on nails in the name of beauty. She's also perfected ombré, likely invented the outline trend, and won acclaim for painting graphic patterns with such precision she seems like she was born with a brush in her hand. Turns out that's not too far from the truth.
StyleBistro: What have you been doing a lot of lately? What are your latest styles?
Madeline Poole: As far as nail trends, one of my classic things is doing the outlined nails—it's always popular with people who come to me. And even though ombré nails have been in style for a while, they continue to be big. Lately I'm using pastel neons, vibrating colors, and a lot of neon green, which is all over the place right now. There's sort of a sportswear trend in fashion, and electric colors go with that.
Any trends you can forecast?
Leaving negative space on the nail, any way that you can look at the nail and do something unexpected or strange, those seem to be the things that catch on, at least in the blog world.
Where do you find inspiration for your designs?
I might see a jacket on someone and see a pattern in it that I like. And I'm always infiltrated by pop culture: I've done Scream mask nails, and the Misfits skull face.
You're a trained artist?
I guess so. I went to art school and studied painting and I worked at a poster restoration shop for a while, using a really tiny brush to restore lithographs. And I worked with my mom, who's a muralist, my whole life.
That's how you learned to be meticulous? Amazing.
It's funny, right? That experience was really influential. I learned how to mix colors, how to apply color, how to use a really small brush in a way that was precise—because it's not necessarily, if you don't use it right. Also, recreating really small images is kind of what I was doing. I was always really good at copying stuff. When I was a kid, I could copy cartoons really well. Whenever I made paintings, they were always really small. And I made egg dioramas. So I've been doing small painting for a long time.
It is your calling! Who are your dream clients?
They're all really obvious: Lady Gaga, Beyonce, the list goes on. All people who have outrageous style and long nails that they take care of and are part of their look.
Why do you think people have become so obsessed with nails?
Maybe it's because of blog culture. It's now just an expected part of a look. If you're going out, having your nails done is part of that. I've heard a lot of people say it's this "semi-affordable luxury," versus buying expensive clothes, but it's not that cheap! I'm unsure why it wasn't big already, because it's a really expressive way of using cosmetics. You can really show your wacky side, or your classy side, or whatever. When you have your nails done, you feel complete.
