Deut. 25:[1-]3--When men have a
dispute, they are to take it to court and the
judges will decide the case, acquitting the
innocent and condemning the guilty.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten,
the judge shall make him lie down and have
him flogged in his presence with the number of
lashes his crime deserves.
but he must not give him more than forty lashes.
If he is flogged more than that, your brother will
be degraded in your eyes. (NIV)
Alt.:--... not more; lest, if one should go on to beat him with more stripes than these, your brother be degraded in your sight. (RSV)
Alt.:--... lest ... your kinsman should be looked upon as disgraced because of the severity of the beating. (NAB)
Alt.:--... and your brother is actually disgraced in your eyes. (NWT)
Alt.:--... then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. (KJV)
Alt.:--... more than that would humiliate him publicly. (TEV)
1 Cor. 7:[35-]36--I am saying this for your
own good, not to restrict you,
(ouch HIna BROchon hyMIN epiBALlo-)
but that you may live
in a right way (pros to EUsche-mon)
in undivided devotion to the Lord.
If anyone thinks he is acting improperly
(asche-moNEIN) toward the virgin he is engaged to,
and if she is getting along in years and he
feels he ought to marry, he should do as
he wants. He is not sinning. They should
get married. (NIV)
William Barclay:
Love does not behave gracelessly.
It is a significant fact that in Greek
the word for grace and the word for charm
are the same word.
There is a kind of Christianity which takes a delight in being blunt and almost brutal.
There is strength in it but there is no winsomeness.
Lightfoot of Durham said of Arthur F. Sim,
one of his students,
"Let him go where he will, his face will be a sermon in itself." There is a graciousness in Christian love
which never forgets that courtesy and tact and politeness
may possibly be regarded as lesser virtues but they are lovely things.
BT Internet: ajschmonew, behave improperly
"The adjective ajschmwn occurs in the NT only at 12:23, where Paul alludes to 'unpresentable' parts of the body, i.e., those which good taste and public respect expect to be clothed. In all three contexts the contrast defines the opposition between on one side courtesy, good taste, good public 'manners', and 'propriety', and on the other side thoughtless pursuit of the immediate wishes of the self regardless of the conventions and courtesies of interpersonal life. Thus 'Agape is not ill mannered' (Spicq). Love does not act in ways which are 'contrary to the requirements of propriety and good order, committed by some ill-mannered members' (Hering)." --Thistleton
St. John Chrysostom, Homily 33: "Doth not behave itself unseemly." "Nay, why," saith he, "do I say, she 'is not puffed up,' when she is so far from that feeling, that in suffering the most shameful things for him whom she loves, she doth not even count the thing an unseemliness?" Again, he did not say, "she suffereth unseemliness but beareth the shame nobly," but, "she doth not even entertain any sense at all of the shame." For if the lovers of money endure all manner of reproaches for the sake of that sordid traffic of theirs, and far from hiding their faces, do even exult in it: much more he that hath this praiseworthy love will refuse nothing whatsoever for the safety's sake of those whom he loves: nay, nor will any thing that he can suffer shame him.
And that we may not fetch our example from any thing base, let us examine this same statement in its application to Christ, and then we shall see the force of what hath been said. For our Lord Jesus Christ was both spit upon and beaten with rods by pitiful slaves; and not only did He not count it an unseemliness, but He even exulted and called the thing glory; and bringing in a robber and murderer with Himself before the rest into paradise, and discoursing with a harlot, and this when the standers-by all accused Him, He counted not the thing to he disgraceful, but both allowed her to kiss His feet, and to bedew His body with her tears, and to wipe them away with her hair, and this amid a company of spectators who were foes and enemies; "for love doeth nothing unseemly."
Therefore also fathers, though they be the first of philosophers and orators, are not ashamed to lisp with their children; and none of those who see them find fault with them, but the thing is esteemed so good and right as to be even worthy of prayer. And again, should they become vicious, the parents keep on correcting, caring for them, abridging the reproaches they incur, and are not ashamed. For love "cloth nothing unseemly," but as it were with certain golden wings covereth up all the offences of the beloved.
Adam Clarke: Verse 5. (6.) Doth not behave itself unseemly] ouk aschmonei, from a, negative, and schma, figure, mein; love never acts out of its place or character; observes due decorum and good manners; is never rude, bearish, or brutish; and is ever willing to become all things to all men, that it may please them for their good to edification. No ill-bred man, or what is termed rude or unmannerly, is a Christian. A man may have a natural bluntness, or be a clown, and yet there be nothing boorish or hoggish in his manner. I must apologize for using such words; they best express the evil against which I wish both powerfully and successfully to declaim. I never wish to meet with those who affect to be called "blunt, honest men;" who feel themselves above all the forms of respect and civility, and care not how many they put to pain, or how many they displease. But let me not be misunderstood; I do not contend for ridiculous ceremonies, and hollow compliments; there is surely a medium: and a sensible Christian man will not be long at a loss to find it out. Even that people who profess to be above all worldly forms, and are generally stiff enough, yet are rarely found to be rude, uncivil, or ill-bred.
Geneva Notes: It is not insolent, or reproachful.
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible: Doth not behave itself unseemly -- By using either unbecoming words, or doing indecent actions; for a man unprincipled with this grace will be careful that no filthy and corrupt communication proceed out of his mouth, which may offend pious ears; and that he uses no ridiculous and ludicrous gestures, which may expose himself and grieve the saints; accordingly the Syriac version renders it, "neither does it commit that which is shameful": such an one will not do a little mean despicable action, in reproaching one, or flattering another, in order to gain a point, to procure some worldly advantage, or an interest in the friendship and affection of another. Some understand it in this sense, that one endued with this grace thinks nothing unseemly and unbecoming him, however mean it may appear, in which he can be serviceable to men, and promote the honour of religion and interest of Christ; though it be by making coats and garments for the poor, as Dorcas did; or by washing the feet of the saints, in imitation of his Lord and master: or "is not ambitious", as the Vulgate Latin version reads; of honour and applause, and of being in the highest form, but is lowly, meek and humble.
John W. Gregson: Love is always courteous and polite; it is never rough, brusque or brutal.
Matthew Henry: Charity is careful not to pass the bounds of decency; ouk aschemonei--it behaveth not unseemly; it does nothing indecorous, nothing that in the common account of men is base or vile. It does nothing out of place or time; but behaves towards all men as becomes their rank and ours, with reverence and respect to superiors, with kindness and condescension to inferiors, with courtesy and good-will towards all men. It is not for breaking order, confounding ranks bringing all men on a level; but for keeping up the distinction God has made between men, and acting decently in its own station, and minding its own business, without taking upon it to mend, or censure, or despise, the conduct of others. Charity will do nothing that misbecomes it.
Jamieson, Fausset, & Brown: not . . . unseemly -- is not uncourteous, or inattentive to civility and propriety.
BW Johnson: Does not behave itself unseemly. Discourteously and in a way to shock good manners or morals.
Mark Heber Miller: (Love) does not behave indecently. The Greek is OUK ASCHEMONEI and is variously rendered: KJV: not behave itself unseemly; MOF: never rude; BER: unmannerly; NAS: unbecomingly; WMS: not act with rudeness. The word is rare and other forms are elsewhere rendered as shameless, indecent, unseemly, or dishonorably. (1 Corinthians 7:36; 12:23; Romans 1:27; Revelation 16:15) It is most often associated with sexual matters, including homosexuality.
In English the word "love" is most often associated with romantic, even sexual, feelings towards another. One thing true AGAPE is not is an emotion motivated by actions which violate God's law. Thus, this kind of "love" will never be found among the immoral or those seeking to take sexual disadvantage of another. Indeed, one may see the word "scheme" within the Greek.
Other translators lean toward the idea of bad manners or rudeness. Certainly, AGAPE love can never be characterized by those with ill-manners or rude social behavior. Rather, a Christian possessed of this kind of love will be seen to be well-mannered and polite in social matters. Never would a Christian man (or woman) take advantage of their spiritual position in the Church to scheme indecency toward a fellow worshipper.
Robertson's Word Studies: {Doth not behave itself unseemly} (ouk ascemonei). Old verb from ascemwn (#12:23). In N.T. only here and #7:36. Not indecent.
The Theologian: The Internet Journal for Integrated Theology: Ouk aschemonei refers to behaviour "in defiance of social and moral standards," often sexual, but verbal coarseness and generally indecent or crude behaviour is also ruled out, since it is guaranteed to tear down others rather than build them up.
Bill Turner: Love does not behave itself rudely, unbecomingly. or disgracefully.
Love never behaves indecently, or unbecomingly. "Aschemonei" is the present active indicative of "askemoneo," to behave in an unbecoming, indecent, or shameful manner that is open to censure. It is only used here and in 1Cor.7v36., where it speaks of a virgin being shamefully hindered from marriage by a father or prospective husband. The adverb for "decently," is "euschemonos," Paul uses it to state that all should be done decently and in order ("taxis") in the Church. 1Cor.14v40. The present tense shows that Christians who have "agape" love always refuse to act in a disorderly and unbecoming manner.
Christians can experience strong workings of the Holy Spirit and be in perfect order in God's eyes, when men are critical of their response to God's power. Acts.2v13-16. Lk.19v37-40. See also. Heb.5v7. Neh.12v43. 8v6,12. Ps.47v1. 98v4. 126v2. 149v3. 150.v4. Dan.8v18-26. 10v8,11,15,17. Rev.1v7. etc. However, we must realise that what is "seemly conduct" in the secret place of prayer, can be "unseemly conduct" in a meeting of Christians, or when the unconverted are present. Paul informs us in 1Cor.14v17-25., that continual and loud speaking in tongues is undesirable even in gatherings which are composed entirely of believers; and is completely wrong when the unconverted and unlearned are present. We should show restraint in speaking in tongues, shaking, laughing, and anything else that causes consternation in people. We make some allowance for immaturity in young Christians or young converts, but "unruly" Christians are to be gently but firmly warned and controlled. 1Thes.5v14. 2Tim.4v2. Titus.2v15. However, let us beware of any "unseemly discipline," for by being harsh and graceless we can permanently injure people, destroy Christian fellowship, and bring churches into spiritual bondage.
The Holy Spirit is a perfect Gentleman, He will not cause us to get into a frenzy, or act in a way that produces concern, fear, friction, stress and distraction in the saints, and disgust in the outsider. Sadly, every revival always brings its quota of excess and fanaticism. However, the dangers of a powerless, sub-normal, formal Christianity are far worse. Wise leadership, good teaching, and mature example can lead Christians from "unseemly conduct" into the green pastures of a fruitful manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Wesley's Explanatory Notes: It doth not behave indecently - Is not rude, or willingly offensive, to any. It renders to all their due - Suitable to time, person, and all other circumstances.

UCLA's Robert Altman film retrospective captures heart of director
It is tempting to call the Robert Altman retrospective at the UCLA Film & Television Archive exhaustive, except that would somehow imply Altman's work had an end. Yes, there are a finite number of films, but they can never be exhausted, never running out of mystery, humor, pathos and insight as they reveal themselves in new ways with each subsequent viewing or passing year.

CB's Quirky & Personal Duplex
House Tour
Name: CB Owens, NYU grad student in Food Studies, and Catering Sales Manager at 'wichcraft
Location: West Village; New York, New York
Size: 450 square feet, plus rooftop terrace
Years lived in: 4+ years; Rented
I first met CB way back in our days as undergraduates at NYU, where "home style" had everything to do with outfoxing the limitations set upon you by countless questionable roommates, inadequate wall space, awkward 80" bed frames (what the heck were those all about?), and the rules of the residence life office. Seeing CB's current digs was truly a pleasure: this is a place that thoroughly relays the warmth, intelligence, and playfully quirky spirit of its inhabitant.
It could be argued that the word "personal" would apply to just about anyone's private space, but it seems to me to be particularly apt here. Walking into CB's space immediately provides a view of his boundless curiosity at work. Everywhere there is something to consider: collected images arranged on the wall, unique books and magazines, colorful object vignettes, and comfortable-yet-chic furniture.
I always like to ask about previous home style history, and when CB and I discussed his previous apartment, he said it was completely bare and had almost no decoration or arrangement at all. It wasn't until he began to read Apartment Therapy that he started to consider the impact his space had on him. When he moved into this apartment and began to work from home, he started to create projects for himself, paid more attention to how his collections were arranged, and everything began to come together. He now takes great pleasure in designing and rearranging the elements of his home, in order to create a space that is simultaneously comfortable and energetic, and entirely reflective of the things, people, and places that he values and holds dear.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: One of my friends calls it "bachelor pad maximalism," but I would just go with "gay pack rat."
Inspiration: My style has drawn from Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé's private apartments; Wim Crouwel posters; the '90s; Hoefler & Frere-Jones typefaces; Gourmet magazine; Bedford Street; Nørrebro; designers Nick Olsen and Bill Brockschmidt; Grumpy Cat (my spirit animal); Apartment Therapy house tours; my very talented and creative friends: Kristy Schiro, Jane Jennings, and Lauren Jennings; and finally, my mother's unwavering dedication to order and tidiness.
Favorite Element: This apartment was blessed with good bones, especially for a small rental in a lackluster building — I love the exposed brick and the duplex layout. I'm also partial to the view, particularly late at night, when light pollution from Times Square creates a pretty convincing optical illusion: everything seems to shrink, and the backlit low-rises and water towers look very much like reproductions on a mid-century sound stage. You feel as though you're on the set of Rear Window.
Biggest Challenge: The miniature galley kitchen really gets my goat. It's crammed into the narrow entryway, everything is covered in white laminate, and the appliances were all born before I was. It's barely big enough to poach an egg in, which is problematic for someone whose professional and academic life revolves around food.
What Friends Say: The kindest compliment my friends pay me is that the apartment successfully showcases my identity, quirks and all. They're also not shy when it comes to asking about my rent.
Biggest Embarrassment: I hate white walls, but the landlord won't permit me to paint or paper them with anything less boring. I've just bought a co-op in the Village, where I'll be moving in January, and I can't wait to be in charge of my own palette for a change!
Proudest DIY: It may not seem like a triumph to some, but I am very proud to have put those cheapo bookshelves together by myself — I did not inherit my father's woodworking genius. I also recently got into linocut printing, and I'm looking forward to finally getting some of my own art up on the walls.
Biggest Indulgence: The most expensive item in this apartment is definitely a book, probably my very early mint copy of A Streetcar Named Desire. In fact, I'd bet my top ten biggest indulgences are all printed matter. "My name is CB, and I'm addicted to first editions."
Best Advice: Really all I've tried to do here is create a space that reflects my personality. If you can manage to do that, you'll always feel exactly at home.
Dream Sources: Strand's Rare Book Room; the Food and Cookery Collection at NYU's Fales Library; any of those cavernous antique shops along East 10th Street, the sort with Louis XVI fauteuils and Art Deco credenzas in the window; Obscura Antiques & Oddities; ABC Carpet & Home; Astier de Villatte in Paris; Sibler in Zürich; Bøger & Kuriosa in Copenhagen; flea markets, vintage stores, and independent booksellers everywhere; RH's Chesterfield section; Assouline's Ultimate Collection; any artwork by Felix d'Eon; and a piece of custom walnut furniture from my father's workshop.

Lovely place, warm and quirky!
p.s.: love your Grumpy Cat pic..
This is such a cool space and I almost commented "Isn't having your kitchen double as your foyer ANNOYING?" but then I read your survey :) Love the grumpy cat and just generally love your whole place! Congrats on buying your coop. Enjoy the benefits of ownership, you clearly deserve it.
so much grumpy cat. i love it.
Amazing use of 450sq ft. Very livable. Love it!!
Very nice place, feel right at home if I would enter.
Where is the keyboard stand/bench from?
Amazing job! I would have never guessed it was so tiny had it not been for the article. Great space!
So you're moving!? When and what's your rent! I'm moving in!
gorgeous place!!! how I wish I had a terrace!! I love your t-shirt !!
I love it, and I hope we get a tour of the new place.
I hope my snowshoe boy doesn't get a complex due to Grumpy Cat...
Tom of Finland
I cannot even handle this place. The books! The piano nook! Grumpy cat!!! XD If I lived in NYC I'd camp outside this dude's door until he agreed to be my friend.
And he shops at Obscura!!!!!!!
LOL!! I loved how he has grumpy cat as a bathroom wall art!
What a great house tour! Love this place and this guy's style.
I love it all! :)
Love this place!!! Love the mini collections. I've never seen so much Clinique in one bathroom.
Reminds me of "So I Married and Axe Murderer" when Mike Myers walks into a really cool apartment and says, "You know what this place needs? A large poster of ..."
From Tom of Finland to Bach, this place has it all. Sweet!
Best 450sq. ft. I've ever seen.
I hope AT will feature his new space.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments, wow!
@emarais The piano stand and bench come included with that keyboard, which is from Yamaha's weighted action series (model YPG-625).
@BIvy (and anyone else who's interested) This apartment will be available to rent starting 2/01/14 (slightly flexible on the date). It will be a new lease, not a sublet. If you're interested in the space and would like more information, please just e-mail me with 'Apartment Therapy' in the subject line: email@example.com
Thanks again to all for taking my tour! :)
Very nice.
The exposed brick wall is one sure way to my heart. I also love layout, with the bedroom "upstairs", even though it looks very small.
Well done!
Great home - nice use of space and lots of character in the decor! Love that rooftop.
What are those pins with the different languages about? Do you really speak all those languages? Cool! Jag talar svenska, också :)
Takeaways are light bulbs and books. I hope to own that many books one day. Nice place.
Very nice.
Your place is fantastic, CB! The wall of books and the artful way you've mixed in little treasures among them is a dream—it's just begging to be browsed. I also love the giant French movie posters and how you used the one on the second floor to block the bedroom off from the space below. Well done!
I hope we'll get a peek at your new place once you've settled in.
I really admire what you've done with your space. The apt. does look a lot bigger, cannot believe it's under 500 sq ft. I will say that I love that you have so many books. I'm envious you have enough space to store them.
At first I felt all snarky - like, how can a grad student afford to have an apartment that cool in NYC furnished as such? - but goddamn that is an awesome apartment. CB, I salute you.
Very cute.And the apartment is too.
Sweet place...and someone who loves Grumpy Cat as much as I do! Yay!
Cute cub.
This is my favorite Manhattan apartment tour of all time. Great use of space.
"my mother's unwavering dedication to order and tidiness" - best inspiration EVER.
wonderful space. I hope to see an AT feature of your new space. Good luck with the move I hope the Weather Gods are in your favor for that in January!
great use of space and I like the fact someone lives here (not so minimalist). A couple of questions:
Are the Billy bookshelves stacked on each other, or do they just have extensions on the top?
Is the Clinique counter person really hot?
@ec05 Thank you! The bookshelves are standard Billy units with three layers of single-shelf extensions added on top. They're really cheap and easy.
Ha, and my skin is just really fussy :) It takes a whole display case of products to keep me from looking like an adolescent or a senior citizen.
Looks much bigger than its square footage! Just my style. Very eclectic and comfy. Good job.
Love the books, love the place, love your t-shirt!
Je l'adore! Thanks for sharing your apartment with us! Your collection of volunteer pins from the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics certainly brought back memories. Alas, my only souvenirs from that time are my Roots beret and my green Jello pins. I'm definitely jealous.
Finally, someone with as many books as I have (almost)! What is on top of the Billy bookshelves? Looks like there is something, maybe to get them to stay in place? Please let me know as I want tall Billy bookshelves but don't want them to fall down (I live in earthquake country).
@wordgrl Heck yeah, bibliophiles! What you see on top are just some lights I installed. When you purchase the Billy bookshelves (and/or the extension units) it comes with small L-brackets with which to attach the unit to the wall. Since you live in a region where earthquakes are a concern, you might want to bolster the unit with a few more, heavier-duty brackets.
You should start your own apartment design/living blog...great stuff. Loving the grumpy cat most, too...Just very well put-together. AT, please profile CB's new place!
This apartment is everything! I love how you make all of your collections work in here.
What a great space, it definitely looks bigger than 450 sqft but the multi-level and roof deck helps with that a lot. Loving all the books on display and the vignette of collected photos using clips to hang.
Your shirt is the best!
I thought I was bad with the books! I have regular knock down bookshelves(not going with me.moving too).I have books everywhere, stacked up and the overflow just sit in boxes. You inspired me with ideas. Have to go to Ikea. Love how you arranged everything, you have to post pictures of the new place! Is your new place bigger, room for more books? XD
@miraclebaby Don't worry, my books were like that for years too, stacked and in boxes and all over the place. Sometimes our collections take over us :) But yeah, the Ikea shelves are very cheap and sturdy if you want to display them. The new place is a bit bigger, so expect to see more bookshelves!
@LisaJones Thanks so much! I love those clips too, makes it so easy to swap things out to keep it fresh. I got the idea on Apartment Therapy!
Great space and you have made the most of it! Grumpy Cat is perfect first thing in the morning. Please share your new space when you get settled.
About "biggest challenge" I was going to suggest you shift the desk down a bit, then move the fridge to the other side of the wall, putting a screen beside it to separate it from the desk. (The screen should have a picture of an antique icebox.) Then you could put a good kitchen cart by the stove, thus making cooking easier. But, you are leaving soon anyway.
Grumpy Cat as your spirit animal made me LOL, and now I'm inspired to incorporate his portrait into my house somehow. Maybe as one of those custom photo rugs so we can walk all over him?
Gay pack rats are the best!
Love the space, and the way you curate your collections is charming. Good job!
Love it! My last house was 600 sq ft, and it didn't look as spacious... you've done an amazing job of making it live large. :)
Love your apartment! Love all the maps and books.
I love Billy bookcases and have many myself. But piled up this high, they are totally unstable unless BOLTED TO THE WALL. Please, anyone thinking of replicating this look, keep that in mind. If even one of those three extensions were to fall, it could mean serious injury and/or damage to the apartment.
Someone after my own heart...magazines, magazines, magazines:)
Love your space and wish I had a reason to move there.
Oh My. Stylish. I love all of it. Especially the books, the lighting and the stacks of magazines.
I can't remember when I liked a House Tour so much!
I think this might be my favorite tour ever, and I've spent a lot of time going through the archives. I know this makes me sound insane, but I love that this apartment seems to focus on the (non-living) things in a house I get most excited about: the stuff. The books, the art, the little interesting items you find and want to know more about... You made a very comfortable home that celebrates those things without it looking crowded or overwhelming, and that's so cool.
It's definitely the most useful tour I've ever seen, since I'm dealing with a lot of the same things, specifically rooms that don't have much visual distinction between their various uses (living room/office/dining room/etc.), and walls that have to stay white. I was really unsure about how to display art in such an area, particularly since I mostly have a lot of little items I love, and this has given me so much to work with. Thank you for sharing, and I can't wait to see your new place.
I'm unbelievably jealous of the cool layout of the place, plus that rooftop!
Love his styles. Quirky and warm place.
I love it. Thanks for sharing your cool place
Genuinely the most beautiful place I've ever seen on AT. I want to move to New York. I want to live in a place like this. I want to decorate it like you have. Astounding.

On the alleged breakdown on Real Housewives of New York City: "I am not crazy. I am unpredictable," Bensimon says. And in case you were wondering, "I'm not in therapy."
On the other Real Housewives of New York City: "Whether it's my nail color, my hair color, or the shoes I'm wearing, everything about me bothers them." "They want to go to the parties I go to, they want to hang out with me, they want to do the things that I'm doing."
On moving forward: "I'm 42, and I have this new life," she says. "Yes, I'm more mass market. And that's okay. It's my job.…I've worked so hard. It wasn't always lollipops and unicorns." "I tell my girls, 'Your mom gets paid to engage in inappropriate behavior.' It's an amazing opportunity for them to see that being mean is not okay. I tell them, 'If you're in a situation like this, walk out. Don't come back with jelly beans.'"
Andy Cohen on Kelly Bensimon's alleged breakdown: "I think it was deeply disturbing. It seemed like she had a break of some kind, but I can't say exactly what it was." "She was not forced to go to Saint John by Bravo or the producers," he says. "That's untrue."

Master's of Arts
Latin American & Border Studies
The MA program in Latin American and Border Studies (LABS) focuses on the study of the US-Mexico border and the broader study of Latin America in the context of increasing hemispheric integration seen most obviously in the border region. The program brings together the study of the U.S.-Mexico border and Latin America, rather than treat the two separately, as other programs do. It will emphasize the U.S.-Mexico border region, Mexico and Mesoamerica, border phenomena and analogous situations in Latin America.
The program is designed to train two types of students: those who wish to earn a terminal M.A. and those who wish to prepare for Ph.D. programs. It is intended to train a new generation of professionals in many areas (government service, community/NGO service work, commerce, education) who can contribute to the creation of a model border zone of economic development and life-quality. It is also intended to train a new generation of students who will approach a PhD and subsequent research and teaching with the idea that just as the border zone and national boundaries show increasing integration, so should academic areas of knowledge and methodologies. There is evidence of significant need in private and public employment sectors for specialists in such integrating academic programs.
More information can be found by clicking your program of choice.

Shop the new Pixie collection now!
Following the success of her best-selling debut fashion ranges earlier this year, Pixie is back with her a/w collection, exclusive to Lipsy! "I'm having such great fun turning my style ideas into an actual fashion range so am really excited to be launching my second collection," Pixie says."This time I've taken style inspiration from some of my favourite style icons like Briget Bardot and Edie Sedgwick and what I love to wear out with my friends."
The 25-piece collection is again made up of two distinct ranges, this time 'Pixie Rocks' and 'Pixie Party'. And judging by the success of her s/s10 party dresses, you'll be pleased to know that there are loads more night-out pieces to choose from! In-keeping with this season's top catwalk styles, Pixie has kept the colour palette in her collection simple, with intricate detailing adding interest.
Pixie Rocks
Pixie Rocks is the perfect capsule wardrobe for those who love their look tough but trend-led: The studded biker and shaggy fur jacket will reinvent any outfit, and stud, lace and chain embellishments add edge to some party-perfect pieces. Our favourites from the range have to be the vintage-style sequin crop top, chain-detail halter and sexy black lace playsuit. There are some fab chiffon and lace day dresses too - just add rock-star style with knee-highs, layered accessories and statement jacket!
Pixie Party
Whilst still drawing heavily on the classic style achieved with simple black and white pieces, Pixie Party injects a few wilder pieces into the collection with a fierce animal print bandeau number and a bold asymmetrical graphic print dress. Delicate embellishments, lace detail and drape and ruched effect make for some stunning LBDs - and LWDs - and the neutral and nude prom dresses will be just perfect for those Christmas parties!
Pixie's love of all things vintage has also been translated into the cream faux fur jacket, which would glam-up any outfit.
Style insider picks
We caught up with those in the industry know at our Pixie Press Day to find out which pieces the fashion professionals are lusting over from the new range:
Lottie Rose, freelance fashion assistant: I love the nude feather-detail dress from Pixie Party and the jumpsuit and cropped sequin top from Pixie Rocks - I'd wear the top with high-waisted shorts.
Natasha Guiotto, fashion assistant, Cosmopoliton: The Pixie Rocks range is more my style - I really like the leather jacket and fringing details.
Tor Brierley, fashion blogger: I love the lace-up black bodycon dress and the fur jackets. It's really good quality faux fur.
Charlotte Pennington, fashion manager, Cosmopoliton: The cream and black shift dress is lovely. I'd wear it with leggings and heels.
Kat Perriam, clubbing editor @ ibizacalling.com: I love the Pixie Rocks range, especially the studded leather jacket which would be the perfect piece to add edge to a cute little dress.

Tennessee Students Lead Nation In Academic Growth
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (AP/NewsChannel 5) – A new report shows Tennessee students are leading the nation in academic growth.
Commonly known as "The Nation's Report Card," the National Assessment of Educational Progress assesses students in fourth and eighth grade reading and math every two years. The report released Thursday shows Tennessee students had the largest growth of any state from 2011-2013, with a 22-point growth across all subject areas. The next closest state in growth was Indiana with 15.
Governor Bill Haslam announced Thursday that Tennessee had the largest academic growth of any state in a single testing cycle since the NAEP started nationwide assessments 10 years ago.
"We literally blew away the other states when it comes to education results," Governor Bill Haslam (R-Tennessee) said. "If you would've asked me the one goal I'd most like to see happen while I was Governor it would be this."
For fourth-grade students, Tennessee went from 46th to 37th in math and from 41st to 31st in reading.
"It's incredibly gratifying to see the gains for African American students," Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman said. "And it's incredibly gratifying to see us get these gains while we're also increasing the number of special education kids who are taking the test. So I feel really passionate about that piece as well."
State officials said the improvement is partially due to education reforms over the last few years including a tougher teacher evaluation process.
"These historic gains are a result of hard work by a lot of people across Tennessee: our teachers, students, principals, superintendents, parents, lawmakers, school board members, business leaders, and many others," said Haslam. "As a state we've come together to make education a top priority."
The announcement was made from West Wilson Middle School in Mt. Juliet, and students, staff and faculty took part. Other speakers included former governor Phil Bredesen and State Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman.
Nationally, the report found that today's fourth and eighth graders are doing better than their predecessors in math and reading, but even with record scores, it's too early to celebrate.
The vast majority of the students still are not demonstrating solid academic performance in either subject, according to the 2013 Nation's Report Card.
Just 42 percent of fourth graders and 35 percent of eighth graders scored at or above the proficient level in math. In reading, 35 percent of fourth graders and 36 percent of eighth graders hit that mark.
Also, white students again outperformed their Hispanic and African-American counterparts, reinforcing just how tough it is to close achievement gaps among racial groups despite years of focus on the problem.
Still, the nation's school kids do better today on the test than they did in the early 1990s, when such tracking started, with more improvement in math than in reading. Students of all races have shown improvement over the years.
Tennessee and the District of Columbia, which have both launched high-profile efforts to strengthen education by improving teacher evaluations and by other measures, showed across-the-board growth on the test compared to 2011, likely stoking more debate. Only the Defense Department schools also saw gains in both grade levels and subjects.
Specifically pointing to Tennessee, Hawaii and D.C., Education Secretary Arne Duncan said on a conference call with reporters that many of the changes seen in these states were "very, very difficult and courageous" and appear to have had an impact.
This year's results, compared to results in 2011, show average incremental gains of about one or two points on a 500-point scale in math and reading in both grades, although the one-point gain in fourth grade reading was not considered statistically significant.
"Every two years, the gains tend to be small, but over the long run they stack up," said Jack Buckley, commissioner of the Education Department's National Center for Education Statistics.
Buckley said he was "heartened" by some of the results, "but there are also some areas where I'd hoped to see improvement where we didn't."
The release comes as a new era in education unfolds. President W. Bush's landmark education law No Child Left Behind, which sought to close achievement gaps among racial groups and have every student doing math and reading at grade level by 2014, has essentially been dismantled.
After Congress failed to update the law before it was due for renewal in 2007, President Barack Obama allowed states to get waivers from it if they showed they have their own plans to prepare students. Most states took him up on the offer.
In the meantime, a majority of states are rolling out Common Core State Standards with the goal of better preparing the nation's students for college or a job. The states-led standards establish benchmarks for reading and math and replace goals that varied widely from state.
Academic scholars have long debated what effects the law and other state-led reforms have had on test scores.
In Hawaii, which has also seen a concentrated effort to improve teaching quality, scores also increased with the exception of fourth grade reading. In Iowa and Washington, scores increased except in 8th grade math.
Chris Minnich, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers, said the biggest problem revealed in the results is the large gap that exists between the performances of students of different races.
There was a 26-point gap, for example, between how white and African American 4th graders performed on the math section. In eighth grade reading, white students outperformed Hispanic students by 21 points.
"We still have a situation where you have kids that are left behind. They aren't given the same instruction. They aren't given the same expectations as other kids," Minnich said. He said it's time for "doubling down and making sure the gaps get smaller."
Duncan said too many African-American and Hispanic children start kindergarten a year or two behind and that early childhood programs are key to leveling the playing field. Duncan and Obama have lobbied for congressional passage of a preschool-for-all program.
The test was given this year to about 377,000 fourth graders and 342,000 eighth graders. It was taken by students from public and private schools, but state-specific numbers are only from public schools.
In math, students were asked to answer questions about topics such as geometry, algebra and measurement. In reading, students were told to read passages and recall details or interpret them.
Among the other results:
-More boys than girls scored at or above the proficient level for both grades in math. In reading, more girls than boys scored at or above that mark.
-Twenty-five out of the 52 states or jurisdictions measured had a higher average score in 2013 than in 2011 in at least one subject and grade.
-Five states had a lower score than two years ago in at least one subject and grade: Massachusetts, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.
-Hispanic students were the only racial or ethnic group that saw improvements in math scores in both fourth and eighth grades; Asian/Pacific Islanders students had the highest percentage of students performing at or above the proficient level in both math and reading.

Check out the link in this rant. This involves a woman who was doing 63 in a 65 on I95 in Maryland. She was cited for failure to go to the right. This is interesting because according to the Maryland State Police she should have been going faster than the posted limit apparently because she was holding up traffic. The wind at the time was going at 40 mph. She said she had actually slowed down because of the wind.
I really have a problem with this. If this woman loses this case will it establish a precedent for traffic enforcement. As far as I am concerned the speed limit applies to all lanes of traffic. Not only that speedometers are not really specifically on the mark. That is why most departments allow a variance regarding speeding citations.
If this goes in the favor of the state will it result in citations out the butt for this type of offense. After all it will be an easy pop for the police. When you are driving you could be going too slow or too fast at any point in time at all. It would also be a good source of money for the state so I suppose the liberals will like it.
In reading some of the blogs there are a lot of people that believe the police did a good thing. It is a good thing I suppose if you either like to drive fast or you don't like people that keep you from driving fast.
I also believe that it is a good thing to obey the traffic laws to keep everyone safe and not speed because you believe you will not get caught.
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.

Memery Bank: Takeover Code update — important clarification on directors' irrevocable undertakings
24 January 2014
One of 2005's biggest and most controversial deals was the Glazers' takeover of Man Utd, which involved a legal battle to rival any of the team's on-the-field exploits.
Manchester United, the most successful English football club of the past decade and one of the world's best-known sporting brands, was finally taken over by US tycoon Malcolm Glazer and his sons in a deal worth nearly 800m in May 2005. This put an end to a lengthy saga which began in March 2003 when Glazer first bought shares in Man Utd. The Premiership club had already been the subject of a takeover bid from BSkyB in 1998, but objections from the Competition Commission meant that the proposed acquisition fell through.
It is not hard to understand why the Glazers wanted to buy Man Utd. It was one of the few debt-free and consistently profitable football clubs in Europe. With a strong brand image and potential for marketing growth, especially in Asia, it represented not just a football club, but also a global sports franchise.
What is a takeover?
In the UK, the term 'takeover' is used to describe a transaction whereby a bidder seeks to obtain 100 per cent control of a company whose shares are held by the public (the target). The other way to attain 100 per cent control is through a scheme of arrangement under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 (CA85).
Takeovers in the UK are governed by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the Code), which is issued by the Takeover Panel. The Code aims to provide an orderly structure and timetable for UK takeovers. Its most fundamental objective is to ensure equality of treatment between shareholders of the target. Although the Code does not have the force of law, and the Takeover Panel is not a statutory body, the sanctions available to the panel to enforce compliance with the Code ensure that it is, in practice, mandatory.
There are several reasons why takeovers take place. The target may simply be very reasonably priced and the bidder may decide that it will end up making money by purchasing the target. Other takeovers are strategic. A bidder may decide to purchase a company that has good distribution capabilities in new areas, or which allows the bidder to enter a new market without having to take on the risk of starting a new division. A bidder could also decide to take over a rival to eliminate competition in its field (although the competition authorities might have something to say in such circumstances).
An important factor in a takeover is whether the bid is recommended or hostile. A hostile takeover occurs where the target's board opposes the bidder's offer. A recommended bid, where the board is prepared to recommend the offer to the target's shareholders, is more likely to succeed and usually means that the bidder will be allowed to carry out more extensive due diligence on the target.
Man utd's takeover
Speculation surrounding the interest of the Glazers in Man Utd had persisted for some time. The acquisition of control of the club on 12 May 2005 was preceded by a number of proposals, which were considered by the Man Utd board in October 2004, in February 2005 and again in April 2005.
The February 2005 proposal was pitched at 300p per share. The board concluded that, while the price was fair, the proposal was unlikely to be in the best interests of Man Utd. The board, however, allowed limited due diligence because of the price of the offer, which was likely to be attractive to the majority of the shareholders.(The Glazers needed 'due diligence' - in short, a legal/financial health check over the company - so that their financiers were willing to provide the acquisition moneys.) On 8 April 2005, a revised proposal was made. Again, the board did not support the proposal because of the aggressive nature of the business plan.
By the end of April, the Man Utd board felt that there had been too much uncertainty surrounding the future of the club. It decided to invoke Rule 2.4(b) of the Code (the 'put up or shut up' rule), which allows the target to request the Takeover Panel to impose a time limit for the potential bidder to clarify its intentions. On 28 April, the panel set a deadline of 17 May 2005 for the Glazers to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for Man Utd under Rule 2.5 of the Code, or to announce that they did not intend to make an offer.
Prior to 12 May 2005, the Glazers held 28.1 per cent of the shares in Man Utd. On that day, Red Football Limited (RFL), the Glazers' bid vehicle, acquired 28.7 per cent of the shares in Man Utd from Cubic Expression, the investment company owned by two Irish racehorse owners, John Magnier and JP McManus. The support of the two Irishmen was key to the Glazer offer and once the Cubic-owned shares were acquired, the Glazers gained control of Man Utd. Under Rule 9 of the Code, once a bidder acquires 30 per cent or more of the voting rights in a target, that bidder must make a mandatory offer in cash at no less than the highest price paid for a share by the bidder over the previous 12 months. A mandatory offer is different from a voluntary offer, where the bidder is not under any obligation to make an offer and can impose conditions other than the acquisition of control of more than 50 per cent of the total voting share capital (this is the only condition that can be imposed by the bidder in a Rule 9 offer). The offer document (by which the bidder makes the formal legal offer to the target's shareholders) was posted on 23 May 2005, with the offer being made on the basis of 300p for each Man Utd share. By that time, RFL owned 76.2 per cent of Man Utd, meaning the offer was unconditional.
The Board's role
The Man Utd board had until then been opposed to the Glazer bid. This was due largely to the way the bid was being financed. The Glazers were to provide 272m in equity contributions; Red Joint Venture, RFL's parent company, was to provide 275m through the issue to investors of non-cash pay preference shares, which would have no recourse to Man Utd's assets; and certain lenders were to provide 265m of loan facilities, due to be repaid within 10 years, and which would have security over Man Utd's assets.
The board felt that too much debt was being incurred. It thought that there was a strong link between playing performance and financial performance and argued that high leverage could lead to a downward spiral in a period of underperformance.
For many months, the board took a lead in making sure this issue was discussed properly by shareholders and the media. Unusually, it took the pre-emptive step of declaring (even before an offer was actually made) that it would have difficulty in recommending an offer that was too highly leveraged (was financed through too much debt) as being in the company's best interests. The board knew that once the Glazers had purchased the Cubic stake, the game was effectively over.
The legal justification for the board's position was that, although it would be under a Code obligation to advise its shareholders on any offer, this did not necessarily mean that it had to recommend it. The directors owed duties to the company as a commercial entity and not to current shareholders specifically. There was no duty to recommend and failing to recommend would not be an improper use of the board's powers, as long as the directors were acting in the best interests of the company and without regard to their personal interests.
The board's reluctance to recommend meant that Cubic had to take the decision as to whether or not to deliver Man Utd to the Glazers, which ultimately it was prepared to do.
With control having passed to the Glazers, the board advised the remaining Man Utd shareholders to accept the Glazers' offer, based on the risks of remaining as a minority shareholder in what was to eventually become a private company with a high degree of leverage. The views of the board were in essence that, unless there were non-financial reasons to remain as a Man Utd shareholder, the best course of action was to exit the company.
The lawyers' role
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer advised Man Utd on the takeover. The magic circle firm offered guidance to the directors on their duties during a takeover. Meanwhile, Allen & Overy provided legal advice to the Glazers.
In such a high-profile bid, every action was subject to intense media scrutiny. One of the general principles of the Code is that directors of the target must do nothing to frustrate a bid or an imminent bid without shareholder approval. Since the directors were opposed to the bid, they had to be very careful not to do anything that would frustrate the Glazers' offer. So, for instance, they permitted the Glazers to do their due diligence once it was clear that a majority of their shareholders (in percentage terms) wanted to see an offer on the table.
Freshfields also liaised with the Takeover Panel and drafted the Rule 2.4(b) submission, which was made in April. It also helped draft the letter of advice from the directors to the shareholders once the offer document was posted. The views of the board are required by Rule 25.1 of the Code and have to be accompanied by financial advice given to it by the independent adviser appointed, as required by Rule 3.1 of the Code. The independent adviser was Tricorn Partners.
The takeover complete
By 28 June 2005, RFL owned 98 per cent of the shares in Man Utd. This meant it could now invoke sections 428-430F of CA85 compulsorily to acquire the remaining Man Utd shares. A week earlier, the shares had been delisted from the London Stock Exchange. At some point, Man Utd will be reregistered as a private company, which would allow RFL to use Man Utd's assets to secure some of the debts incurred for the purpose of the acquisition.

Optimization problems involving the eigenvalues of symmetric and nonsymmetric matrices present a fascinating mathematical challenge. Such problems arise often in theory and practice, particularly in engineering design, and are amenable to a rich blend of classical mathematical techniques and contemporary optimization theory. This essay presents a personal choice of some central mathematical ideas, outlined for the broad optimization community. I discuss the convex analysis of spectral functions and invariant matrix norms, touching briey on semide nite representability, and then outlining two broader algebraic viewpoints based on hyperbolic polynomials and Lie algebra. Analogous nonconvex notions lead into eigenvalue perturbation theory. The last third of the article concerns stability, for polynomials, matrices, and associated dynamical systems, ending with a section on robustness. The powerful and elegant language of nonsmooth analysis appears throughout, as a unifying narrative thread.

Hampton Roads scientists pump millions into the local economy, keep watermen fishing, help regulators protect the Chesapeake Bay, educate some of the area's brightest students and might one day create Jetson-style vehicles.
Their skills touch almost every facet of Peninsula life, from researchers at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility who study what makes everything to engineers at the Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard who design ways to protect everyone.
In the coming year, the Daily Press plans to publish a monthly series focusing on some of these "Invisible Giants" -- the area's nationally and internationally renowned researchers who are virtually unknown in their own hometowns.
Overlooking that kind of resource isn't unique to Hampton Roads, said Don Wright, dean and director at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. He pointed out Jefferson Lab.
"I doubt many people are aware of the talent there, even the people who live right across the street from the lab," he said. "Science is just not something that the general public has an acute awareness of."
The public and the scientific community are hurt by that oversight, Wright said.
For institutions, it's a matter of funding: It's hard to get people to pay for stuff that they don't understand.
The public, though, ends up missing out on fascinating insights into the world.
"The perception is that it's nice to know but it's not going to affect your life if (you) don't know. The fact is, it will affect your life," Wright said.
At VIMS, for example, scientists have been working for decades on creating computer models of how water flows and its quality. In the event of a terrorist attack, that information would be invaluable.
"If something were to get into the water here, you want to be able to predict where that water is going," Wright said.
Also, with two national laboratories, the area has unique facilities that boast some of the most sophisticated equipment in the country.
Jefferson Lab, for instance, houses the most powerful laser of its kind, which translates into funding from agencies such as the Navy and interest by other scientists willing to come to the laboratory hoping to use the tool.
"The laser is a great advantage because it can be used in so many disciplines," director Christoph Leemann said.
Then there are the institutions: Hampton University was named one of four Physics Frontier Centers by the National Science Foundation because of its potential to lead in areas of cutting-edge research; VIMS was named the only worldwide reference laboratory for two groups of shellfish pathogens.
What that means is that the area can capitalize on its scientific talent to attract even more highly technical folks and keep them, Leemann said.
"Scientists and technical people are, by and large, attracted to areas where there are already scientific people," he said. "Scientists thrive from the opportunity to exchange ideas with other scientists. That need not only be ideas in their narrow field."

How I Met Dave0 Reviews
"Keep your eye on the deal..." "No," He told himself, scribbling some words out. "On the money, of course! Keep your eye on the money, and on the dealer."
I cleared my throat, and he turned to face me. "Hey, Jessie," He said, flashing me a toothy grin before turning back to his work. "Need something?"
"Just some peace and quiet," I muttered. He laughed. "Had enough of our parties already? Why don't you go live with Mr. Cokehead instead?"
"Because all he does is talk about how he can't fuck anybody, and then rambles on about interior decorating. I tried that once. I couldn't take it. And I have nowhere else to go, so I'll just suck it up and stay here."
"I've always been meaning to ask how the fuck you ever met David," Nikki said, turning to face me. I rolled my eyes. "It's not exciting, believe me. I was attending high school in Pasadena and in walks this beautiful man. Long blonde hair as high as the girl's, black leather pants, white leather vest. The girls nearly died when he walked by. I was the only one not interested in him. He sat next to me in History, and he was always trying to get my attention. He was obviously not used to having a straight girl refuse to give him any sort of acknowledgement. Finally I snapped and asked what he wanted. He said, 'Why aren't you hot for me, like your classmates?' All I told him was he was a cocky asshole, and I wasn't in to guys who were prettier than I. He started laughing this insane cackle, which attracted the entire attention of the classroom. His laugh was so contagious, I had to laugh along. We were both kicked out for disturbance, and without even talking we both decided to cut school. We ran out the back doors and collapsed in a heap on the front lawn, laughing hysterically, clutching our sides and receiving smeared makeup from tears pouring from our eyes. He finally introduced himself as David Lee Roth, and I introduced myself. We then start talking for the rest of the time school is in session, and he tells me he wants to be in a rock band and such. I didn't figure out he was gay until he was with Van Halen. We kept in touch as he school-hopped, and he coincidentally moved next door to me while he was attending some college while working in a hospital for money. He told me about these guys named Alex and Eddie he met, and I went to all of their gigs once they were a band. And somehow, we ended up here."
Nikki was laughing hysterically. "That little asshole. Thinking you'd be interested in someone of the glam type."
I laughed along with him, agreeing. The only reason I had made it so easily living with these assholes was because I was not attracted to anyone, so therefore there was no promiscuous sex or swooning over guys who came to chill, at least anymore.
"I'm gonna go hit the hay, then. Peace, Nikki."
He mumbled a goodbye while I walked into the room I shared with Tommy and Vince. They only had two mattresses, so they ended up sleeping together, or one with me, or just passing out on the floor. I stripped down to my underwear and got into bed, covering myself with a disgusting sheet.
