Lambert Continues To Praise Following Sunderland
Paul Lambert has continued heaping praise on the players after the victory against Sunderland.
This time round he told the Birmingham Mail that he thought Ashley Westwood was 'absolutely outstanding' in his starting league debut:
'He was absolutely, absolutely outstanding. For somebody to make their debut and come from Crewe, play some reserve games then come in like that on Saturday, I thought he was outstanding. He's great at the art of never giving it away. Whenever he received the ball he looked really comfortable with it. I thought Ashley and Barry Bannan were exceptional.'
I'm not sure many of us would go quite that far about his performance, but there is no doubting that he played a far more positive, and competent game than we'd seen in his brief sub appearances so far. He looks like he's found his feet now with the pace, and understanding of team mates, so hopefully he'll keep improving now and repay the faith Lambert obviously has in him.
I doubt there's many who would argue he shouldn't start the next game on the back of that.
Ashley Westwood Forum Thread.
Barry Bannan Forum Thread.
Lambert also had words of praise for Gabby Agbonlahor following his first league goal since November 5 last season, some 29 odd games without a goal?
'He's playing exceptionally well at the moment. His goal was excellent and he was fantastic against Sunderland. I am really pleased with him. I haven't set him any targets because I don't want to put pressure on him.'
Gabby Agbonlahor Forum Thread.
And finally for Christian Benteke, without repeating what has already been aired, Lambert added.
'I think he could be anything he wants. He's playing extremely well and since he's been at the football club, he's been a revelation for us.'

MiFID: the (in)famous European Directive?
In this study, EDHEC-Risk Institute, while recognising that the directive allows the conditions in which investment companies can operate on the regulated markets or over-the-counter to be harmonised, warns of the eventual adverse effects relating to the obligation of transparency for systematic "internalisers" and the obligation of "best execution". The authors find, in the case of the obligation imposed on systematic internalisers to maintain a public spread of prices, that it is prejudicial for this restriction to be removed for the least liquid securities. This provision will lead, in a certain number of cases, (small-caps on markets that are centrally organised at present), to a deterioration in the pre-trade transparency that is currently provided to investors.
MiFID is the second step in the harmonization of the European capital markets industry and aims to adapt the first Investment Services Directive (ISD 1, issued in 1993) to the realities of the current market structure. Part of the European Financial Services Plan (FSAP), the MiFID (Directive 2004/39/EC, formerly known as Investment Services Directive II) was ratified by the European Parliament on April 21st 2004. The implementing Directive and Regulation were approved by the Parliament over the summer of 2006 and provide detailed implementation guidelines applicable to all Member States. Local regulators are currently working on the third level of this new regulation, with specific and local implementation measures that will come into force no later than November 2007.
In a nutshell, MiFID sweeps away the very concept of central exchange and obligation of order concentration as it currently exists in several European countries, and recognises the need to include all participants in the execution cycle and all financial instruments under a consistent regulatory framework. It therefore goes far beyond equity markets only and will impact upon all market participants buy-side, sell-side and trading venues (exchanges). The Directive introduces a passportable operating framework for execution services that can be provided by Regulated Exchanges (RE), Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF)1, or Systematic Internalisers (SI)2.
The long-term implication of MiFID is undoubtedly the complete desegregation of the existing value chain related to execution services, owing to the end of monopolistic positions for exchanges, the creation of new opportunities for investment firms, the development of new business models and hopefully cost competition. This desegregation, however, is not free of risks for the quality of services provided to clients and the financial market structure itself. The main risks one ought to consider relate to the integrity of markets (safety of executed trades and efficiency of prices) and the protection of investors. These are two elements that the regulator should aim to protect in a fully liberalised marketplace.
MiFID provides some responses to both risks. Indeed, the Directive balances the opening of the execution landscape to full competition with a set of obligations that intend to increase transparency and investor protection in order to maintain European markets in a situation where the price discovery mechanism remains efficient and fair and where the markets overall integrity is guaranteed despite inevitable fragmentation. More precisely, this set of requirements exhibits three fundamental pillars:
- Post-trade transparency obligation
- Pre-trade transparency obligation
- Best execution obligation
This expected ineffectiveness comes from either a lack of relevance in the way requirements are defined or a lack of accuracy in the way they have to be implemented. On the basis of Level 1 and Level 2 provisions, EDHEC-Risk Institute believes that the risk remains high that market fragmentation may result in less efficient markets, thereby adversely affecting the price constitution mechanism, and that investors may feel a sense of confidence in a protection that is actually not there.
Following intense negotiation with industry representatives, the Directive has restricted harmonised pre-trade transparency requirements to the most liquid equities only for investment firms operating systematic internalisation.
Hence, MiFID leaves room for the development of possibly opaque liquidity pools for non-liquid equities and other financial instruments, with little transparency on the order book, if any. More important is the fact that the regulator has just waived the pre-trade transparency obligation where it is probably the most necessary. In this paper, we observe that explicit transaction costs (brokerage fees) on less liquid stocks are nearly double those of liquid stocks. Similarly, we witness implicit costs related to transactions on illiquid stocks (according to the MiFID segmentation of the market) up to six times higher than those for liquid stocks. Because of increased fragmentation and less transparency, trading on illiquid stocks post-MiFID may well be even more costly than it is today. If fragmentation is a good thing for ensuring proper competition and force execution fees down, its impact on total transaction costs that depend upon the efficiency of the market structure is yet to be seen. The confusion that very often exists between transaction costs and fees seems to be there to stay, at the expense of the end investor.
The best execution obligation (article 21) is a key element for investor protection in a market that is open to competition. Initiated as an obligation of result in a principle-based regulatory approach, the best execution obligation has been actively fought by industry representatives and was slowly turned into a more modest obligation of means that remains complex and ambiguous, if not overly prescriptive. With such an unbalanced provision, there is little chance of the industry embracing the concept and actually delivering upon the Directives promises.
Worse still, with no other definition than an obligation of means (that of clarifying an execution policy, being transparent on that policy and ensuring the policy allows achievement of the best possible result on a consistent basis), MiFID is in fact likely to significantly increase adverse selection and moral hazard. By aiming to strongly protect the end investor in a largely liberalised environment, the European regulator may well have put itself in a situation where some participants will risk singeing their wingfeathers despite being highly confident that the Directive requirements are working in their favour.
Obviously, this opinion should not be read as a death sentence for MiFID, which remains a very welcome initiative, but rather as a strong call to the industry to reinvent itself and develop a proper evaluation framework that will shed some light on the actual quality of the service offered to professional and retail clients.
This paper is a call for the industry to seriously embrace a reflexion on how the quality of service is and should be measured in order to adequately protect the end investor in a context where a deliberate fragmentation of supply might not be counter balanced by adequate protection measures.
1 Similar to Regulated Exchanges in that they allow clients to enter into negotiations without taking part in a transaction as a counterparty. They include all forms of multilateral negotiations such as order books, block trades, periodic auctions and any other form of mechanism resulting in negotiations to be agreed between two counterparties.
2 This new regime allows investment firms on an organised, frequent and systematic basis to deal on their own account by executing client orders outside an RE or MTF.

The new trailer for Disney's brand new live-action version of Beauty and the Beast aired during the 2017 Golden Globe Awards last night, and everyone's initial reaction is how stellar of a voice Emma Watson has in the 30-second commercial. Now despite the fact that we heard a tiny clip of her performing "Something There" from the Princess Belle doll footage that swept the internet recently, this trailer is technically the first official debut of Emma performing as Belle. Regardless of whether or not you already heard snippets, this new TV spot is guaranteed to give you major chills. No seriously, prepare to be utterly blown away by her insanely strong pipes.
In the trailer, Belle appears on top of a grassy hill while belting out a beautiful rendition of the infamous intro song "Belle." The image gives us major The Sound of Music vibes, tbh.
We also get a sneak peek of Chip, and he's lookin' as cute as ever. We just love how this remake is going to open our eyes to a totally new side of the 1991 animated Disney classic that we all know and love.
Aside from the short snippet that will now be airing on television, Disney also introduced a brand new poster for the film.
New poster for Beauty and the Beast! @beourguest 🌹 pic.twitter.com/iE6YzVCKus— Emma Watson (@EmmaWatson) January 8, 2017
In the poster, we finally get to see the human versions of all the previously-animated characters we adore. We have Ewan McGregor starring as French Lumiere, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Audra McDonald as Gaderobe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette. So cool!
Oh how we just cannot wait for this movie to finally come out. March 17 seriously cannot come soon enough!
Are you super excited to see Beauty and the Beast in theaters when it premieres on March 17th? Share your thoughts about the upcoming movie in the comments sections below!

Q & A With Greg Folk
In their opening match, the U.S. Men's Pan-American Soccer Team defeated Venezuela in dramatic fashion 2-1, as Bobby Warshaw scored the game-winner in injury time. With their next match in group play against Bolivia on Wednesday, July 18, Center Circle caught up with captain Greg Folk in Brazil to talk about the first match, what he thinks about the USA's chances and what the experience of playing in such a prestigious tournament has been like overall during the first week.
First of all, what was your reaction when you got named to the Pan-Am games?
Greg Folk: "Initially, they called saying I was invited with the Under-18 national team and I was a bit confused because I was too old for the U-18s. But, the team was actually a collection of 18 and older players. When that confusion was cleared up I was excited. I have always wanted to be apart of an Olympic event."
What were the team's preparations like before your first game?
GF: "Everyone on the team arrived in Washington D.C. and we stayed for a day and a half at George Mason University, putting in two days of hard fitness sessions to get ready for the tournament. Then we took the nine-hour flight to Brazil and trained only once a day for the first two days we were down here. On those days we trained at a military complex and in the background you could hear the soldiers practicing their rifle techniques. We then trained twice in one day at a school called Universidad, before going back to a once a day session at the field where we would play our first game - Footall Center Zico. Two days before the game we took the day off with just a light stretch to get our legs back from the training, and then the day before the game we again held a light training to sharpen up our set pieces and get our legs ready for the match."
Can you talk about the opening match and winning in the final minute?
GF: "Everyone on the team was excited to get the tournament going because we had been training intensely for a week. The game started out at a very fast pace until both teams settled into the game about 20 minutes in. We had a few quality chances in the first half that could have put us up by halftime, but unfortunately we couldn't convert. However, we finally got a goal by Stephen McCarthy after a great dribbling run down the right side by Danny Kelly, who crossed a beautiful ball right to Stephen's head for the finish. After the goal they went a man down but we couldn't really take advantage of being a man up because they got a penalty kick that tied the game up, 1-1. Being a man up we made some more offensive subs to try to win the game and they paid off in the final minute when Michael Stephens sent in a corner kick and Bobby Warshaw finished with a powerful header."
You were named captain for the first game against Venezuela. What did that mean to you to be named captain in such a big event?
GF: "It was an honor to be named captain and lead a national team in the Pan-American Games. With the captain's armband though comes a big responsibility to be a good model for the rest of the team. Ultimately, I was excited to be at the head of a big win over Venezuela and now we are leading our group for the first part of the tournament."
Your next game is against Bolivia. What are your thoughts heading into that match?
GF: "We briefly saw some of their match against Mexico in which they tied, 1-1. They looked like a well organized team with some attacking flare, which we will have to be aware of going into the game. They played Mexico very well and were leading the game until the middle of the second half. As far as our team goes, the team has had some good trainings and we showed well against Venezuela, so our confidence is high. If we play our game, we feel that we will have a good chance at staying atop the group."
(editor's note: At this point in the interview, Greg informed us that the coaches are "stuck in an elevator right now in our building" and "you can hear them yelling in the hallway." Despite that bit of news, Greg stayed with us as others went to check on the trapped coaches.)
You also play Mexico in group play in your final match. What do you think it will be like going up against your biggest rival in such a prestigious tournament?
GF: "That will be another exciting game not only because they are our CONCACAF rivals and it is the Pan-American Games, but we will also be playing them in the Maracana stadium on ESPN Deportes. Both teams could be fighting for first place in the group to move onto the semifinals of the tournament, which would add some more fuel to the fire. I'm sure that the game against Mexico will bring the best from both teams. However, we have to be careful not to look past a good Bolivia side first.
You are playing with two of your UCLA teammates in Michael Stephens and Chance Myers, but have you played with any of the other guys? Overall, what's the team chemistry like so far?
GF: "Besides Mikey Stephens and Chance Myers, I've played with some of the other guys from my Residency days in Bradenton, Florida, and a U-20 camp. To name a few they are Jeremy Hall, Kevin Alston, Danny Kelly and Danny Barrera. I actually grew up playing with Barrera's brother on my club team so I've played with him for awhile now. The team chemistry is great right now. The younger guys (90's and 89's) all know each other and have been playing together for their Residency programs or previous U-18 camps, but the older guys (88's and 87's) have really gelled with the team either by knowing or playing with the younger guys previously or just from being round each other 24/7 here in Brazil. Everyone on the team is having a great time together in Rio on and off the field. I think our team chemistry really showed in the last game against Venezuela in that we fought together as a team to the very end and we were rewarded greatly on our last minute game-winner. It was a good team goal that brought out the character and chemistry of this team."
Overall, what has the experience been like so far in terms of hotel, training fields, fans, atmosphere of the games, etc.?
GF: "The experience has been amazing so far. From meeting the younger players to the level of competition, I have really enjoyed every second. The hotel we are staying in is actually a little village that has been built for the Pan-American Games with 10 buildings where all of the games' athletes are staying. It is interesting just being around such quality athletes from a variety of sports. The training fields have varied a bit because of some rain that wouldn't let us practice at the previous training facilities, but we remain flexible for anything here while keeping team morale high. For the opening ceremonies, the fans here in Brazil were fantastic. There were around 100,000 people in attendance and it was a once in a lifetime experience. It set the stage for this prestigious event and showed the extent that Rio is willing to go to make this event so special."
(editor's note: Just an FYI…Greg told us at the end of the interview that the coaches were rescued from the elevator.)
The Pan American games are a continental version of the Olympic Games which includes the Olympic Program sports and others that are not part of the Olympics. Always conducted one year before the Olympic Games, the first Pan American Games were held in 1951, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Inspired by the holding of the first Central American Games in 1924, the Latin American representatives of the International Olympic Committee proposed the creation of a competition that would include all the countries in the Americas to strengthen sport activities in the region.
The team will face Bolivia on July 18 at 2 p.m. ET at the Miecimo da Silva Sport Complex before rounding out group play against Mexico on July 21 at 9 a.m. ET at Brazil's famed Maracana Stadium. The tournament semifinals will take place on July 24 and the third place and final matches will be held on July 27, all at Maracana Stadium.

I'm not sure why I love making cookie sandwiches so much. Ok, that's not true. A cookie sandwich is two cookies with some sort of yummy filling in between, so what's not to love!
And there is plenty to love about these cookies. Since I'm such a huge fan of cinnamon rolls, these Cinnamon Roll Sandwich Cookies are some of my favorite cookies that I've ever made. They are thick and soft and cinnamon-y. They're spread with a tangy, cream cheese filling, and then they're topped with another soft, cinnamon-y cookie. So, these Cinnamon Roll Cookies are the best parts of a cinnamon roll in one, delicious little cookie sandwich.

Cinnamon Cookies
- 1 c . butter
- 1 c . brown sugar
- 1/3 c . granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 T . vanilla extract
- 3 c ½ . all-purpose flour
- 2 T . cornstarch
- 1 tsp ½ . baking soda
- 1 tsp . ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp . kosher salt or 1/4 tsp. salt
Cream Cheese Filling
- 6 oz . cream cheese at room temperature (reduced fat ok)
- 1/4 c . plain Greek yogurt nonfat ok
- 1/2 tsp . vanilla extract
- 1 c ½ - 2 . powdered sugar
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the butter cook until it just starts to brown.
- Pour the melted butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using an electric mixer).
- Add the sugars, and beat together until fluffy and well-combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Cover, and refrigerate (or freeze if you're in a hurry) for at least 6 hours (or 4 hours in the freezer). If you put the dough in the freezer, you'll need to set it out while the oven preheats.
- When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350 F. Line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Drop scoops of dough onto prepared cookie sheets using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons).
- Bake for 7-9 minutes. You want the edges to be just barely golden brown.
- Remove from oven, and let cool for 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet.
- Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
- To make the filling, beat cream cheese and yogurt together until well-combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, and stir until it's incorporated.
- Add enough powdered sugar to make it spreadable.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread half of them with the cream cheese filling.
- Top with the remaining cookies.
- Store any leftover cookies in the refrigerator.
- This recipe makes about 28 cookie sandwiches.

I stayed in Hanu Reddy Apartments for a week in January. These apartments are located in a very central location in Chennai – and in a posh residential area. It is truly a home away from home. The management, in particular Ms. Nirupama, the manager, and the staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.
The breakfast (included in the price) is superb – especially if you like south Indian food. The staff also go out of their way to accommodate special dietary needs. The rooms are well maintained and located in a very tranquil surrounding.

Professor Pope and her colleagues honored me in prison by inviting me to contribute to a documentary on white-collar crime. That experience helped me contribute to a society whose trust I had violated, and it proved that despite my status as a federal prisoner, I still had value. I encourage Mr. Rajaratnam to seek penance and forgiveness by not only embracing his criminal conduct, but by offering to share his story with others, like Professor Pope.
Without question, there is a long history of prisoners emerging from federal prison with new, better perspectives. Writing about those prisoners would take up volumes of literature, much more than this short blog can describe. Will Mr. Rajaratnam be added to those volumes? Yes, I bet on him to succeed.

'I just stick to my game plan'May 20th, 2009 - 2:04 pm ICT by ANI
Cape Town, May 20 (ANI): Proteas and Delhi Daredevils batsman A B de Villiers might look like a possessed sage in full flight, but he pins his success on sticking to his game plan.
De Villiers, speaking after yet another brilliant knock against the Rajastan Royals on Sunday night, said that it was about giving himself a chance to settle at the crease before he attempted to dominate a bowling attack."I think I have been following the same game plan for the last two years now. Whether I play tests, ODIs or Twenty20 cricket I give myself a chance to get my eye in and get used to the conditions and always try to get through the first 20 balls, and from there on, I try to express myself," said De Villiers at the press conference in Johannesburg.According to Sports 24, De Villiers has scored 405 runs at an average of 67.50 and a strike rate of 135.45 per hundred balls in the IPL thus far, and trails only the currently indomitable Matthew Hayden (546 runs) in the runs table.
Together with Tillakaratne Dilshan, who is seventh on the list with 329 runs, De Villiers has been crucial to the Daredevil cause, especially with Gautum Gambhir and Virender Sehwag experiencing indifferent form.
Darren Berry, director of coaching with the Rajastan Royals, had only praise for De Villiers.
"Not only is he a great talent, but also he is a great thinking cricketer as well. In the heat of a Twenty20 battle that is exactly what you need. I think we were given an exhibition innings," said Berry. (ANI)

Hot wax is poured into the molds — one a sturdy, plastic mother mold and the second, inside that, a silicone mold that is sensitive enough to pick up the contours of the figure's nose, the parallel lines on his helmet and the pebbly base. The mold is hardened to make a cast. Flaws in the cast — for instance, seam lines where the molds came together — are removed with a heated metal implement.
The wax cast is then dipped in what is known as investment, a kind of liquid ceramic, which hardens and, crucially, is heat resistant. This is then heated, melting the wax, which escapes out a hole in the bottom of one of the player's feet. The hole is not visible once the trophy is mounted on its base.
The empty cast made of heat-resistant investment is next sent to a foundry, where molten bronze — hotter than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit — is poured inside it. Enough bronze to assume the shape of the mold is used, but not so much as to fill it entirely: If the largely hollow Heisman were actually a dense hunk of bronze, it would weigh more than 200 pounds. (The finished model handed to winners is about 35 pounds; roughly double that with its base.)
The object is then returned to MTM Recognition, where the now-brittle investment is hammered off the ashy bronze. The bronze is treated with acid and fire to give it the familiar patina that makes it look as if it is a few decades or centuries old. Invariably, however, each one's patina comes out slightly different, which is part of what makes each one singular.
Not only is this year's Heisman slightly different from last year's, it is more different from those of a generation ago.
MTM Recognition, which took over the trophy's production more than a decade ago through a partnership with the memorabilia giant Jostens, effectively redesigned it, if in a very small way.
Before 2005, the back shoe had bumps on it to depict laces while the front shoe did not. Nortz added some grooves to the top of the right foot.
"I got to sculpt it!" Nortz said.
MTM Recognition also standardized the trophy's dimensions after staff members noticed that past trophies' outstretched right arms departed the body at different angles. That arm has always been cast separately from the body.
"They did research," Cory Beltz, MTM Recognition's director of sports business development, said. "In the 1960s, the arm was pointing one way. In the '70s, another way. We said, 'Let's lock that in.' "
The solution was to carve a square hole inside the stub of the arm where it meets the torso, and a square peg on the end of the arm where it fits into the hole. As a result, every right arm of every Heisman Trophy now extends at the same angle.
Beyond that alteration, the trophies MTM Recognition makes are faithful reproductions of the one first designed for and awarded by the Downtown Athletic Club in 1935. In fact, the mother mold, made of polyurethane, was made directly from an old Heisman that the Heisman Trophy Trust, which administers the trophy, sent to the company after Jostens got the account.
"They want that antique look," Beltz said.
MTM Recognition mounts the bronze on a wood base and makes a nameplate for each finalist in the week leading up to the announcement. Everything is shipped to New York for the Saturday night ceremony.
The trophy the winner lifts bears a generic nameplate. After the ceremony, according to a Heisman Trophy Trust spokesman, the trophy and the winner are hustled across the street, where the official nameplate is attached with four screws in time for the player's news conference. (Teams receive their own Heismans when their players win.)
The trophies are sent home with the player in a container made by Cabbage Cases. The company, based in Columbus, Ohio, fashioned its first Heisman receptacle when the Columbus native Archie Griffin — a former Ohio State running back and the only two-time Heisman winner — drove up one day more than 25 years ago and asked if the company could make him one, according to Mike Hannah, the sales manager. The Heisman Trophy Trust owns these containers, and politely asks that players and colleges return them; they may order their own from Cabbage Cases, which Hannah said will gladly paint the new one in the team colors.
Should a trophy be damaged or in need of refurbishing, players (or their teams) can send them back to Del City for a literal buffing. According to Jay Manning, a metal fabricator at MTM Recognition who handles repairs, the right index finger is the most commonly damaged appendage.
Manning, a former jeweler, recently worked on the Heisman that Billy Cannon won in 1959 as a senior at Louisiana State. He may have touched more Heisman Trophies than anyone else.
"Sometimes I get frustrated," he said, "that people don't get as big a kick out of it as I do."

Those disagreeing have said 1) "Wearing expensive clothes doesn't make you rich." of course it doesn't, but it does mean you LIKE perhaps well made clothing, or highly value presentation, or ... Potentially validation. And so although it doesn't mean you're rich, it can suggest other factors of your personality. And so you still are what you wear.
See it matters how you dress up a lot , when you go to a marriage or any function you wear ethnic and your body language changes with the traditional outfit and when going for an interview in formals your body language is something else totally different your mind set too .
Folks you would have definitely seen dance performances , why do they wear their costumes and why not the normal skirts or a pair of jeans and a cardigan, because that is what makes a performance appealing also it gives the dancer the feeling of a dancer and there are as many different costumes for many different styles of dancing
I believe that people are what you wear. The reason that I believe this is because when wearing certain clothes people act differently. For example, uniforms bring people together with others that wear the same uniform. Also, when relaxing people tend to wear more comfortable clothes. These examples show how people are what they wear.
Clothes is a way of expressing ourselves, our feelings and our identities. It tells a story about the person who wears it. Clothes reveal which group are people in. It shows who you are, but it can also create stereotypes and rejection from another group of the society we live in
Yes, I think that it can be true that a person "is what they wear." People tend to wear what they are comfortable in and what suits them. For instance, I tend to wear jeans and a sweatshirt, and I think this says a lot about the fact that I'm laid-back. The same can be said about the personality of someone who dresses up more often.
It is only true in the sense that your clothes can have an influence on your behavior. I wouldn't say that it changes your true character of whatnot, but it can influence your everyday actions. I have seen it when putting on my Army uniform as well as formal wear.
I wear scrubs 90% of the time. Not only at work, but at home too. Why? Because they are comfortable. I dress in clothing that makes me feel comfortable. And if someone gets offended by comfortable clothing, that's their problem. You won't see me on any 'People Of Wallmart' pictures, but you won't see me as a fashion icon either.
I understand that term isn't literal but just because I'm wearing a banana costume doesn't make me a banana? If I wear all black, does that make me a goth or do I just like the colour black? What you wear doesn't define you as a person, it's what makes you individual. Where in fabric and stitches did individuality get lost?
Since people do judge people based on what they wear it's an important consideration but you're still not what you wear and you will not get a completely accurate understanding of a person based on their clothes. You should take the clothes to signify greater or reduced odds of traits, and then keep studying the person. Notice how conscious they seem of how their appearance might be taken. If not at all, their clothes mean less about who they are, if a great deal more about who they are OR what they are trying to portray themselves as.
What you wear doesn't really have a whole lot to do with who you are for the most part. If you're wearing nice clothes, it doesn't mean that you're rich, and it' doesn't mean that you're a good person. It just means that you are wearing nice clothes.
The clothes don't make the man, they just accentuate already existing features.
While you can change the way the world looks at you when you change the clothes that you wear, there is still a person under that layer of clothing that doesn't change. You may wear the fanciest suit, but still be an uncultured person underneath that suit, or vice versa.

Re: "Overton rejoins team" (TNT, 3-16)/
So, Washington Husky basketball player Venoy Overton knows that the damage to his reputation may linger, and he doesn't want to be known, especially in his hometown, for providing alcohol to a minor or anything even more serious than this (he wasn't charged with a more serious infraction).
While not diminishing the significance of what he has been charged with, he should also be concerned with the impact on his reputation when you consider that he is supposedly college-educated, yet cannot even speak using proper English (assuming he was quoted correctly).
I cringe every time I read a quote from a college-level athlete who demonstrates that his focus has been less on receiving a good education than being a good athlete. These student-athletes should seriously consider that very few of them will have a future playing a sport, but they will all need a good education as a fallback in order to earn a living other than as an athlete.
The ability to not only read and write but also speak well are critically important skills in our society.
So, Overton is being coached well in basketball, but what level of "coaching" has been happening in the classroom, and how much "practice" (ie., studying) has he done outside the classroom?
Perhaps he might consider also sitting out the NCAA tournament and focus instead on honing his English skills?

The Daily Show scheduled one hell of a week to be on hiatus, what with last week's government shutdown developments and the continuing Obamacare website difficulties. But don't worry, Jon Stewart and company came out swinging when they finally got their chance on Monday evening.
Stewart started by railing against the failure to competently roll out Obamacare via HealthCare.gov. This is something he touched on before the show's hiatus, but given an additional week to seethe and more information on the tech disaster, he was able to give the humiliating situation a just and proper shaming.
Jon saved plenty of rage for the President's reaction to the breakdown. His undressing of yesterday's bizarre press conference and photo op aimed at calming the masses is just as spirited, and it contains a fantastic Simpsons reference.
The mockery continued when Stewart checked in on John Oliver's attempt to access HealthCare.gov, only to find he'd been sucked into a Tron-like cyber-bureaucratic nightmare.

Gastonia Thanksgiving tradition expects thousands
GASTONIA, NC (AP) — Warm weather and clear skies may help a Gastonia tradition attract a record number for Thanksgiving.
The Gaston Gazette reports that the Third Annual Community Giveaway for Thanksgiving will provide a
free Thanksgiving dinner to all who attend, as well as free clothes, shoes, haircuts and other essentials for those in need. There's also music, dancing and other entertainment.
Pastor Danny Busquette of Latin Harvest Church in Mount Holly said the event was launched in 2009 primarily to benefit the Latin community. But he says the event is for the entire community.
More than 4,000 people attended last year in less than ideal weather, but with highs Thursday expected to be in the 60s with sunny skies, Busquette predicts this year's crowd could reach 10,000.

On rare occasions, AskAway librarians may find themselves dealing with a patron in crisis. Crisis calls may contain threats of suicide or indications of abuse.
- I am going to kill myself
- My boyfriend punches me
- My father was touching me
Some of these calls may be pranks, but we should always assume that the call is real and take the situation seriously.
It can be hard to know how what to say to someone who appears to be in crisis, particularly in the online environment, where you are unable to see or hear the patron. While AskAway librarians are not trained counselors, we can refer patrons to the BC Crisis line to seek professional help.
How to respond to a patron in crisis
The following guidelines are intended to help prepare librarians for the possibility of a crisis call and provide appropriate steps to take in the event of a crisis call.
- Always treat suicide or other crisis calls as serious until proven otherwise.
- Answer calmly, professionally, and non-judgmentally. Strike a balance between professional behavior and supportive behavior. If the patron is in trouble, we want to be friendly, supportive, and approachable, as with all of our patrons. However, remain professional and give resources rather than advice.
- Do a reference interview. Ask open-ended questions like How would you like me to help you? One or two clarifying questions will determine if the call is personal cry for help, or a scholarly question (perhaps from a student researching criminology, social work or psychology).
- Use the Problem - Crisis Centre script to send the following message: If you are in crisis or want to talk confidentially to someone about a personal issue, you should call the BC Crisis Centre 1-800-784-2433 (24 hours) or go to www.youthinbc.com for support via chat (noon to 1 am, 7 days a week).
- Avoid providing institution-specific information unless it is requested. Providing links to institution-specific information may actually cause more harm than good if there is any question as to the student's real affiliation or location, or the accuracy/currency of the information you are sending. Sending the BC crisis line information via the Problem - Crisis Centre script will give the patron immediate access to help no matter where they are.
- Don't be afraid to show personal sympathy to the patron. You can use variations of the statements below as a way to open a dialog in which you can make a referral.
- I'm glad you connected with me today.
- That must be so hard. How can I help?
- I'll do my best to get the information you need.
- Let's work together to figure something out.
- I want to help you.
- It makes me sad to hear that.
- I might have resources to help you.
If you feel that the person is a real danger to themselves or others, you may ask for their contact information so you can alert authorities to their situation. Do whatever you feel you need to do in an emergency situation, don't worry about policies in that case!
- Always report the transaction, with the Chat Transcript Number, to the AskAway Administrative Centre. If you do not have the session number, give the day, approximate time, and the name of the chatting librarian.

Renaissance Averroism and Its Aftermath
Full Product Description
While the transmission of Greek philosophy and science via the Muslim world to western Europe in the Middle Ages has been closely scrutinized, the fate of the Arabic philosophical and scientific legacy in later centuries has received less attention, a fault this volume aims to correct. The authors in this collection discuss in particular the radical ideas associated with Averroism that are attributed to the Aristotle commentator Ibn Rushd (1126-1198) and challenge key doctrines of the Abrahamic religions. This volume examines what happened to Averroes s philosophy during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Did early modern thinkers really no longer pay any attention to the Commentator? Were there undercurrents of Averroism after the sixteenth century? How did Western authors in this period contextualise Averroes and Arabic philosophy within their own cultural heritage? How different was the Averroes they created as a philosopher in a European tradition from Ibn Rushd, the theologian, jurist and philosopher of the Islamic tradition?
Renaissance Averroism and Its Aftermath was published by Springer in December 2012. The ISBN for Renaissance Averroism and Its Aftermath is 9789400752399.

Then every other hotplug user who manages to track down reboot problems can do the same thing after a discussion with you (and most users probably won't be able to diagnose reboot time Oops situations etc so probably you won't get a lot of mail about it). But wouldn't it be easier to just stop the shutdown-time unload for everyone if it provides no benefit and causes problems for some people? -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.

text: Many species rely on species-specific acoustic calls for conspecific recognition and discrimination between individuals (particularly in terms of female mate choice in discriminating between competing males). A great deal of neural recognition of species specific calling has been done with anurans (frogs and toads). In many species the male emits a mating call with a specific modulation rate which distinguishes it from the call of other sympatric species which may be using the same frequency bandwidth; auditory brainstem nuclei have been identified and categorized based on their ability to distinguish relevant components of what Capranica called the "mating call detector." If you are interested in the acoustic side of the question, there is excellent work by R. Capranica, M. Ryan, P. Narins, C. Gerhardt, A. Simmons and A. Feng. A lit search on any of these authors names will yield an enormous wealth of material just looking at the neuroethology of acoustic communication in frogs.

Ensuring Social Security's future
Published 5:27 pm, Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Is Social Security an entitlement program?
The Great Depression of the 1930s brought on a 25 percent unemployment rate and decimated the savings of many Americans. It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of the elderly American population was living in poverty during this period. President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935 to provide future generations with a livable income during their retirement years. The program has been modified numerous times over the past 78 years and today more than 60 million Americans are receiving benefits from the program. The vast majority of these people are retired and approximately 20 percent of these recipients are kept out of poverty because of Social Security. The poverty rate for the elderly is currently estimated at 9.4 percent of the population.
Social Security is a unique program as it is totally paid for by a special tax (FICA) that is assessed on the individual earnings of every American. This tax is jointly paid for by both the employee and the employer(s) over the average 40 years that someone is employed. This program can be described as a "forced personal savings account" that was enacted by our government to protect you from possibly living in poverty when you are elderly. All of these FICA funds are accumulated in the Social Security Trust Fund that is administered by the federal government. This trust fund has grown to $2.6 trillion. Actuarial calculations show that the program will continue to collect more in FICA taxes than it will pay out until the year 2023. The program is due to run out of surplus monies in the year 2033 if no modifications are made. There are a number of proposed changes that include:
1. Raising the retirement age (including early retirement) 2. Reducing benefits 3. Removing the annual income cap on FICA taxes (currently $113,700) 4. Increasing the FICA tax rate (currently 15.3 percent in total)
The Social Security program has been modified numerous times before and changes clearly must be made to ensure its viability for future generations.
We often hear politicians speaking of Social Security as being an out-of-control entitlement program that needs to be reined in. There are two reasons for this thought process -- ignorance and worry. I don't have to explain ignorance, but where does the worry come from? Our politicians in Washington worry because they have borrowed $2.6 trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund and they don't have any viable plan for returning this money. The Social Security Trust Fund has grown for 29 consecutive years, providing the federal government with an easy source of money to help fund its deficit spending. Politicians worry that this gravy train will be ending as the trust fund stops growing and starts paying out more in benefits than it takes in.
Social Security is absolutely, positively not an entitlement program. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The $2.6 trillion surplus in the Social Security Trust Fund belongs to all of the workers of America who have paid into this system and not for the benefit of politicians who try to hoodwink the public.

I suppose @role counts, though why you'd use @role instead of > @class eludes me. To put in RDF statements? How would you class for that? rel could work for this particular case (it would work better if there was a registry mechanism). div/span: don't see where there's extensibility in them. meta: yes. In fact, there's a spec that talks about how putting DC properties into meta elements (RFC 2731), embedding namespaces, but guess what, HTML5 breaks it by removing the scheme attribute. @data-* is only in HTML5, and the documentation makes it clear that it has a different purpose. That being said, it has the same problem as most of the other things you mentioned, the lack of a disambiguation mechanism. BR, JulianReceived on Friday, 1 August 2008 18:20:22 UTC

|Oregon's 2013-14 Accommodations Manual
The 2013-14 Accommodations Manual has been posted at http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=487. Of particular note, with the advent of the Kindergarten Assessment required to be administered this fall and the unique nature of this assessment, ODE has developed an accompanying accommodations table. In addition, in February 2013, ODE approved the use of the Sign Language Interpretation Accommodation during the OAKS and Extended assessments in all academic areas except Reading. Lastly, accommodations tables have been developed to support students who, per identified need, plan to demonstrate proficiency in one or more of the Essential Skills through work samples. For additional information and guidance regarding these developments, please consult the applicable sections of the Accommodations Manual.
If you have questions regarding this, please contact Brad Lenhardt at: email@example.com .
