text: Value investing is being put to the test. Yet some sharp managers have stayed on key. By Andrew Tanzer, Senior Associate Editor October 3, 2008 The past year or so has been humbling for most value-fund managers. Many all but missed the commodity boom. Then, to add insult to injury, too many of them bet too heavily on financial stocks, which got pummeled in the credit maelstrom.Of the two miscues, excessive exposure to bad banks and other troubled financial institutions is the more egregious. Most value investors describe preservation of capital as a vital part of their investment mandate. Risk to a value investor is not defined as volatility, but rather as the potential for permanent loss of capital. Yet, by investing in companies with disastrous risk-management systems, managers exposed their share-holders to unacceptable levels of danger. Susan Byrne, manager of Gamco Westwood Equity fund, says many value investors were seduced by what on paper appeared to be bargains in financial stocks. The stocks offered high dividend yields and traded at low prices relative to earnings and book value (assets minus liabilities). "As a veteran, I've learned that the book value of financials is a moving target," she says. Byrne adds that because banks hold so many assets off their balance sheets, you can only infer how much a company is earning and how much exposure it has to problematic debt. We examine the records of four value investors to glean lessons about the past year's debacle -- two who didn't exactly cover themselves in glory and two who did well at protecting their shareholders' money. Advertisement Humbling of a legend. Bill Miller's reversal of fortune is stunning. The manager of Legg Mason Value Trust fund (symbol LMVTX) famously beat Standard & Poor's 500-stock index for 15 straight years through 2006, the investment world's equivalent of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. But over the past year to September 8, Value lost 35%, 21 percentage points worse than the S&P 500. The performance of Miller-managed Legg Mason Opportunity fund (LMOPX), a member of the Kiplinger 25, has been nearly as dreadful. How does Miller explain himself? He wouldn't talk to us. But we did speak with him in March 2007. Recalling that conversation and reviewing Miller's portfolios, it's clear that he severely underestimated the severity of the gathering storm in the housing and credit markets. He thought oil was overvalued at about $60 a barrel. And he was far too bullish on the U.S. economy and stock market. In that interview, Miller said he thought homebuilders were undervalued, so he was buying shares of Centex, Lennar, Pulte and Ryland Homes. He noted that stocks of builders were selling near book value, well below the norm of 1.6 times book value. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that homebuilders' book values and stocks have collapsed since then. Miller made matters worse by holding large positions in mortgage and other financial stocks crushed by the housing-induced credit crisis -- companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Countrywide Financial and Freddie Mac. Advertisement If Miller's blind spot for energy had merely been a sin of omission -- failure to hold the stocks -- it wouldn't have been so bad. But he compounded his error (at least in Opportunity) by selling short two energy-related exchange-traded funds, a move that certainly hurt results in a period of sharply rising energy prices. Hammered twice. Bill Nygren graciously agreed to talk about his funds' recent woes. Over the past three years, Oakmark Select fund (OAKLX), a former Kiplinger 25 member that he co-manages, lost an annualized 4%, an average of six percentage points per year behind the S&P 500. Over the past year, it surrendered 21%. Nygren divides his weak performance into two periods, through the first half of 2007 and from then on. His failure to invest in energy and other resources stocks mostly explains his weak performance during the first period. Like many value investors, Nygren generally shies away from those kinds of businesses because it's hard for them to distinguish themselves from rivals. "The determinant of success is the underlying price of commodities, over which they have absolutely no control," says Nygren. He is far more chagrined about his fund's lousy results since the second half of 2007, when the roof caved in on housing and financial stocks. "As a value investor," he says, "you believe the stocks you invest in have much less risk of permanent loss of capital. This ended up not being true for several of my holdings." Advertisement The severe decline in residential-property prices blindsided Nygren. He says he expected a leveling off of prices -- the historic pattern in weak residential markets -- instead of a drop of 20% or more. "We got the housing-price outlook wrong, therefore we made mistakes in the mortgage business," he says. That's because so many loans to homeowners were made at dangerously high loan-to-value ratios, in defiance of Banking 101. Oakmark Select, a concentrated fund that holds about 20 stocks, was burned by its positions in Pulte Homes, Home Depot and H&R Block (the tax preparer wrecked a perfectly good business by an ill-considered diversification into the subprime- mortgage industry). But the big whopper of a mistake was the fund's huge 15% allocation to Washington Mutual, the nation's largest thrift. WaMu held a portfolio of $200 billion in mortgages, says Nygren, who never guessed the bank would eventually book $20 billion in losses from mortgage holdings. The stock shed 90% of its value over the past year. They got it right. Now let's look at two prominent value investors who have (mostly) coped with the market's duress. Steve Romick's FPA Crescent fund (FPACX) returned 0.7% over the past year, while Bruce Berkowitz's Fairholme fund (FAIRX) lost 1%. Both investors gave a wide berth to financials, loaded up on energy stocks (although Berkowitz recently cut back) and held a lot of cash. In fairness, it should be noted that Crescent normally does not place more than 70% of its assets in stocks. Still, had Romick been less careful with his stock picks, the fund could easily have spilled red ink. "My returns have been generated as much by what we don't own as what we do," says Romick, who stopped buying financial stocks five years ago. He and his partner, Bob Rodriguez, manager of FPA Capital fund, have been remarkably prescient -- and vocal -- about the risks embedded in the U.S. financial sector. Advertisement Romick says many ostensible bargain hunters were fooled by the high returns on equity and other measures of profitability of U.S. banks. From 1996 to 2006, he says, those numbers were inflated by esoteric products and excess leverage, which should call for lower share values, not higher ones. "It was like a ten-year bubble for banks," he says. Even after the recent collapse, Romick says, he's still not terribly interested in banks because rising inflation is bad for bank stocks. Plus, he figures that reduced leverage, greater regulatory scrutiny, more bad debts and fewer exotic products aren't a recipe for rising bank earnings. Berkowitz used to own financial stocks in the late 1980s and early '90s, when "you were able to understand who they were and what they owned." Today, he says, banks are so complex that "unless you're able to dig down into the underlying collateral," you don't know what you're buying. Energy player. While Miller was betting against the oil sector, Berkowitz was loading up on low-cost energy producers, such as Canadian Natural Resources. Over the past few quarters he's booked a gusher of oil profits and moved the money into depressed health-care stocks, such as Pfizer and Wellpoint. A value investor with an open and independent mind, Berkowitz is even doing the sacrilegious: paring his stake in Berkshire Hathaway. He says the law of large numbers is catching up with Berkshire, and that value-investing demigod Warren Buffett is spending more of his time on non-Berkshire activities. Berkowitz also hews to a strategy of keeping a large pile of cash, in part to have ammunition to buy stocks when others are forced to dump them. "Cash is the equivalent of financial Valium," he says. "It keeps you cool, calm and collected."

"Best food and service in Carmel"
While in Carmel on our Honeymoon, my wife and I strolled by Dametra's and browsed the menu. While doing this, Faisal (sp?) the owner walked out and told us all about his restaurant and himself and asked us if we would like to eat there. After wandering around Carmel for the day we decided Dametra's looked as good as any other place and we were right. For an appetizer we ordered the Hummus which was excellent. It was creamy but not over-flowing with olive oil. My wife had the Greek Salad with grilled salmon for her entree. Again, excellent. The salmon was cooked just right and none of the flavors over-powered the others making for a delightful dish. I ordered the shrimp and crab ravioli in a pesto cream sauce. It was magnificent! I'm not a big fan of cream sauces but my love of pesto won out over my dislike for cream sauces. The sauce was very flavorful and not heavy at all. The pasta was not drowned in it either, there was just enough making a well-balanced dish. We were given a free baclava dessert which was excellent as well. The owner was genuinely nice and really seemed to care what we thought of his place. It was absolutely wonderful.

Special places and patterns can be very delightful.
In our holiday in South Africa – patio by Ivory Tree Game Lodge and peaceful place by swimming pool at Kristiina's house offered special places for morning yoga.
The special places can be every where, but do we recognize them, do we take time to enjoy them and do we remember them ?
In Kristiina's garden I spotted heart shaped "for-get-me-nots", like the one I found last summer in our backyard. Little special patterns can also be all around us, but do we perceive them, do we stop to enjoy the beauty – are we able to remember our past experiences.
Contradictions of summer and winter strengthen experiences – opposites of cold and warm, light and darkness. Lately we have been enjoying snow and winter, skiing, skating, making snowmen, long walks by the sea around the nearby islands.
Each season has their own specialties – places and patterns.
Appreciating and enjoying them enriches life.
Things have been a bit hectic lately – taking time to stop and think, percieve and feel, stopping for an experience, delightful sight, sound or smell is fundamentally essential for enjoable life and learning.

No Madonna, your vulgar, tasteless speech was not "taken wildly out of context"
In defending her profane rant at the women's march the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, Madonna said her words were "taken wildly out of context." If you think her speech to hundreds of thousands of women was taken out of context, I suggest you watch the video of her vulgar remarks. At least three times she yells "F… you in her speech. Despite an Associated Press report that labeled her speech, among other things, as "fiery," there is nothing taken out of context when the singer-actress screams "F… you". The really, really sad part is the three times when Madonna yell "F… you", the assembled thousands attending the women's march cheered Madonna. I repeat. That is pretty sad.

Four years after his defeat, Dearing took on Sojourner again and won a very narrow victory. Legal battles over

Project 2996 September 09, 2001 Remembering Sei-Lai Khoo in 2009
I immediately wondered if Sei-Lai came here to pursue a lifelong dream. I wonder what she would be doing today, and I wonder what her family is doing on this anniversary.
Sei-Lai's age today would be close to mine. From the little bit I read about her, I get the impression she had so much to contribute. She was probably coming into her own and ready to continue blazing a trail through life. And now I know Sei-Lai will always be a part of my life because of this memorial. If you are reading this, I hope you will remember her too.
Dear Sei-Lai,
Eight years ago I was working Base Operations in the Mississippi Air National Guard. One of our pilots came and told me a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. We all thought it was a fluke, a horrible accident. We ran to watch the replay on the television, only to see the second plane crash. We then realized this was more than a fluke. Sei-Lai, I didn't know you were there until today. I didn't know anyone in the towers. But I am saddened for your family, for all the families and friends. And though this tribute to you is not fancy or even worded well, I want you to know I will remember you. And I will now have a name that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Though I didn't know you in this life, maybe I will get to meet you in the life to come. I wish I knew more about you, but this I do know, I will not forget you, the others who perished or our military and others who have sacrificed so much since then. Rest in peace, Sei-Lai!
Please pray for the families of the victims. Please pray for peace throughout the world.

I knew Seilai fairly well in a professional sense. She was my client when I worked at Salomon Brothers. I'll never forget I was putting together this very important lunch at a hotel in midtown and really needed client attendance. Seilai made the special trip uptown to make sure my lunch was a success. I never forgot that nor have I forgotten her wonderful comments and compliments that it was a "good lunch" meaning that it was worth her time. Rest in peace, Seilai. You and Ron Tartaro were a good team, you were a kind person, outstanding at your job and always always a pleasant client to deal with. I think of you often. Sabrina Phillips

I was SeiLai's friend and classmate at Columbia, it feels like yesterday that we were still in school together. Having the time of our live.
Of cause life move on and she is working in Wall street. We still kept in touch almost once a year. Since I move back to HK and I only visit USA once a year.
9/11 came and I was in HK. I had a bad feeling about it and it prove to be the end of the road for Sei Lai. What can I say? I just hope She is in a better place because she die trying to reach and find her co-worker.
Rest in Peace.

I was drawn to a white rose on my first visit to the World Trade Center Memorial Fountains on June 14. 2015. I saw SeiLai's name and realized June 14th was her birthday. I was touched by this and spent time by her name. I later researched her on line. God bless you Seilai and your brother Yeng who I am sure misses you very much and all of your family. I hope family members can take some comfort in that a total stranger was drawn to her name on her birthday.
The spirit does live on.

The 2014 National Curriculum requires children to start using inverted commas to indicate direct speech from Year 3 onward. This work should then continue throughout Year 4 so that children are able to accurately use the full range of punctuation when writing dialogue. Here are a few quick tips for teaching the use of inverted commas.
Create a speech progression
Writing dialogue correctly with all the punctuation in the right place and a new line for each speaker is challenging, and that's without the demands of asking children to have interesting, engaging dialogue with a variety of synonyms for 'said'. The 2014 National Curriculum recognises the challenge of speech, which is why both Y3 and Y4 have objectives relating to speech (see National Curriculum Appendix 2). As a teacher, year group, school have a clear idea about how children will progress through the writing of speech. I like to think:
- Identify speech in texts
- Write in speech bubbles
- Use inverted commas
- Use inverted commas and the correct punctuation with the reporting clause before the speech
- Use inverted commas and the correct punctuation with the reporting clause after the speech
- Use inverted commas and the correct punctuation with the speech broken by the reporting clause
- Write dialogue punctuated correctly with a new line for each new speaker
I've made a handy classroom prompt for punctuating the three patterns of direct speech which you can find on the Resources Page. This is free to download and is handy if you need to remind yourself where the commas and capitals go in each pattern of direct speech.
Reading into writing
Quality texts are always great for providing a model of What A Good One Looks Like (WAGOLL). Use real texts as models of how to use speech marks and how to use the punctuation conventions of dialogue.
Provide copies of texts so that children can identify the spoken words in texts. Allow them to text-mark with highlighters and then encourage them to write sentences including direct speech using the structure of the sentences they have text-marked.
Speech bubbles
Speech bubbles are an essential pre-cursor to adding inverted commas around spoken words. Consider removing the text from some comic strips for children to add-in.
Make good use of blank comic strips in English and other areas of the curriculum so that children can retell (and create) narratives which include speech.
Capture a conversation between two children and ask the rest of the class to write it in speech bubbles. To begin with you will need to limit this to one response per child, so consider a simple question and answer response the first time you try this. Eventually, you will be able to replicate this sort of activity with inverted commas.
Learn the rules
I'm not a fan of rote learning but the rules of punctuating dialogue need to be learnt and applied. Rather than drilling them, why not use the Primary English patterns of direct speech posters and examples from high quality texts to create a class set of rules for direct speech (or success criteria). These could then be displayed in the classroom and referred to by the children whilst writing and evaluating their work.
Get dramatic
We've already thought about capturing conversations and writing them using speech bubbles. Once the children are confident at adding speech bubbles consider working with playscripts. Allocate roles, encourage children to read and then deliver their lines and as a final activity take the play and transform it into dialogue.
We've all seen the air " " symbol made when quoting something said by another. Encourage children to use this when deciding where to add inverted commas to mark direct speech.

Lightwell worked with exhibition designers Freeman Ryan Design to develop a series of multimedia elements for the new Perkins North building. The Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research focuses its investigations on the genetic basis of disease, and each piece of multimedia showcased the research and amazing imagery produced by the Institute.
Within the foyer of the new building in Perth stand three monolithic LED Video screens that show a synchronised program of microscopic imagery. Most of the images have been produced from work undertaken by the Institute and can be further experienced by visitors through an accompanying iPad app.
The foyer also holds a large scale graphic of MRI body scanned by two moving monitors. The monitors show short video sequences about discoveries related to the eyes, lungs, heart or other body parts made by the Institute's researchers.
The final piece of multimedia is located in a small exhibition space focused on the key achievements of the Institute within a global context, which can be found upstairs within the building. Lightwell developed a touchscreen application that would allow visitors to read about particular researchers at the Institute, learn more about the topics they focus on, and watch video interviews of the researchers explaining their work.

College Sports
Former Gamecock Jackson found dead
COLUMBIA -- Jamacia Jackson was the court jester in the South Carolina locker room -- the player teammates leaned on when they needed a laugh or a pick-me-up before practice.
They could have used one Monday.
The USC football family reacted with shock and remorse as word spread through text messages and voice mails that Jackson had been found dead early Monday morning at his girlfriend's home in Sumter.
He was 26.
The Sumter County coroner's office will perform an autopsy today to determine the cause of death. Sumter police chief Patty Patterson said authorities do not suspect foul play.
Jackson, a Shrine Bowl member from Sumter High who played safety at USC from 2001-04, was living in his Sumter hometown while preparing for his second season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League.
Patterson said emergency crews responded to a call about 5 a.m. Monday after Jackson's girlfriend awoke to a loud noise and found him unconscious on the floor beside the bed. Jackson was transported to the Tuomey Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead an hour later.
Patterson said authorities believe Jackson might have been drinking Sunday evening, but they found no evidence of drugs.
Family members were trying to reach Jackson's stepbrother, Larry Holmes, a member of the Army stationed in Iraq, before finalizing funeral arrangements.
Cleo Jackson said the death of her stepson seems unreal.
"He was just bubbly one day and gone the next," she said. "I'm looking for him to come through the door with some foolishness."
That would have been in character for Jackson, who was remembered by his USC teammates for his sense of humor and positive energy.
"If you was having a down day or going through something, if you was around Jamacia at any time during that day, I can guarantee he would make you smile," former Gamecocks quarterback Dondrial Pinkins said. "You couldn't be down around him. He was the type of person to lift your spirit."
Jackson served as the "Sandman" at the Gamecocks' annual freshman talent show. Wearing a helmet and shoulder pads with a dress shoe on one foot and a cleat on the other, Jackson would use a broom to sweep bad acts off the stage.
Jermaine Harris, a USC safety, said Jackson drove around campus in a 1986 Cadillac he bought used for $500. After the car was towed his senior year, Jackson went to the impound lot and discovered it would cost $800 to reclaim it.
"He told the pound people, 'Just let me get my stuff out of the car; y'all can keep the car,'" Harris said.
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lance Laury, who played with Jackson on the USC defense, said Jackson had his own language that included funny, made-up words such as "sclootch."
Asked the meaning of the word, Laury said, "Anything he wanted it to mean."
But Laury said Jackson knew when to dial up the intensity. He started all 11 games as a senior at USC. He returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown against Vanderbilt and finished third on the team with 59 tackles.
"Anyone would love to play with him because he has so much heart and character. And that's what you need on a team -- someone to keep you pumped up," Laury said. "He'd be in the locker room, running around and jumping and screaming. I'm ready to play then and there and the game ain't until an hour later."
Jackson continued to play after leaving USC.
He signed a free-agent contract with the Tennessee Titans in 2005 but was waived during training camp. He spent a year on the practice squad with Montreal of the CFL and was in camp with the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe in 2006.
Jackson was in Columbia working with Coca-Cola last year when the Tiger-Cats called. Playing outside linebacker and special teams, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Jackson had a dozen tackles in 12 games in 2007.
He had been lifting weights at Sumter High getting ready for the season.
"Jamacia was a beloved player, teammate and friend," Hamilton coach Charlie Taaffe said in a release. "He will be truly missed by our entire team. Our sincere condolences are with Jamacia's family and friends."
Those friends and family members were grieving Monday.
When Harris heard the news, he called Jackson's cell phone hoping he would answer. Andre Gause, who lived with Jackson for four years at USC and worked with him at Coca-Cola, said he feels like he lost a family member.
"When I got the call this morning telling me Jamacia had passed, I felt like it wasn't for real. But it's real," Gause said. "I will always remember him as being a brother to me. We've been through a lot."

Clothing company Cuyana advocates a minimalist fashion lifestyle, encouraging women to only buy quality items that they truly love. Rather than producing the cheap, replaceable items that dominate the market (think: H&M), Cuyana manufactures more expensive, but more durable, pieces. The company calls this shopping philosophy "lean closet."
The timing for this philosophy couldn't be better. Japanese organizational guru Marie Kondo's approach to a better life through decluttering by (among other things) throwing away old or unloved clothing has become a sensation, spawning two best-selling books and an app.
Regardless of what you call it, lean thinkers will recognize familiar elements of 5S in all of this. And honestly, there's nothing wrong with reducing the production of disposable crap and getting rid of stuff you don't wear or use. But at the risk of sounding like an irritating schoolmarm, calling it "lean closet" does a disservice to the word "lean," because it runs the risk of making people think that "lean" only means "less."
Author and lean practitioner Norbert Majerus of Goodyear runs a terrific exercise in his lean workshops in which he has attendees pair up, stand face-to-face, and memorize the other person's appearance. Then he tells them to face away from each other and make a change. Almost everyone takes something away—they remove their glasses, take off hair bands, pull pens out of their shirt pockets, take off sweaters, etc. Even though everyone is standing in a meeting room with pencils, notepads, highlighters, water glasses and the like, virtually no one picks up any of these items. No one adds anything to their appearance. As Majerus points out, when we think of change in a lean context, we tend to think we have to remove things. We have to reduce. We have to do without.
Obviously, eliminating waste is a central idea in lean thinking. But when "lean" is used as a synonym for "less," it leads people to think that's all there is. Less stuff in your house. Fewer clothes in your closet. It misses all the truly important aspects of lean—like, say, respect for people. Or problem solving. Or creating value for customers.
So, let's call it "smart shopping." Or "sustainable fashion." Or "intelligent consumption." But please take "lean" out of the closet. It's a short step from there to the old joke that lean means "less employees are needed." And that's not helping anyone.

We all want to do more for our alumni. The question is: Where do we start?
Setting institutional priorities means balancing the desires of our alumni, the needs of existing programs, and the resources required to develop new ones.
We asked Kean University's Director of Alumni Relations, Stella Maher, to share what her team's priorities are.
Could you describe Kean's alumni engagement strategy?
Kean has over 89,000 alumni predominantly living locally in driving distance to the University.
We offer a number of reunion opportunities, especially around affinity groups such as greek organization, athletic teams, and specific departments/majors on campus, which we find resonate more with our alumni than class year reunions. We also offer a menu of volunteer options to fit the desires and availability of our alumni, whether they can give one day to speak to a class, or 4 years to serve a term on the Alumni Board. Kean has changed a lot over the years, so it is important for us to get alumni back to campus and on a tour to see the Kean of today.
This year, you've been focusing on online engagement and career development for alumni. Why did you choose those as priorities? How has it gone?
Our immediate priorities are engaging alumni in their professional and career development. When they are unemployed or under-employed, it is harder for them to be able to return to campus for events or volunteerism. We are providing tangible benefits where they can say specifically, "The Alumni Association gave this to me, or helped me in this way," such as online networking.
While most of our alumni live nearby, that doesn't mean they want to battle the campus traffic and parking for brick-and-mortar events. We offer online networking nights where alumni can connect with one-another from their couch, office, or coffee shop. With campuses in Tom's River, NJ (Kean Ocean) and Wenzhou, China (Wenzhou-Kean), this will grow Kean's global presence as our alumni demographic shifts.
It's still fairly early in the year to discuss how this focus is going, but we had strong attendance at our first online networking night and good survey results that alumni enjoyed the opportunity and want more. Now that we are through some of the major in-person events, I hope to spend more of the winter term focused on webinars and getting more of our programs up online so we can build this resource for alumni. If you're doing an in-person panel or discussion already, it makes sense to record it and share that out so it becomes a living resource and will be another tangible benefit we can direct our alumni to utilize.
'Engagement' can be pretty abstract. How does Kean make engagement measurable and trackable?
Our staff spent FY15 really developing our Alumni Engagement Rate and going through the process of coding all of the necessary data to start out with a benchmark. We began with the 3 basic criteria espoused by Chris Marshall of GG&A that are becoming a standard in our field: donors, event attendees, and volunteers.
In addition, we have added other engagement areas we are able to code: one-on-one visits with our staff, social media engagement, and purchasing memberships such as the gym or the museum. We obtained the number for each category, then removed duplicates that becomes the number of unique engaged alumni. For our base year, we coded 3,194 engaged alumni, which makes the rate 4.3% (of mailable alumni).
It's hard to illustrate where that rate falls compared to other similar institutions, since the idea of calculating alumni engagement is still new to the field, and many schools aren't able to accurately code these criteria. Over the next few years, I expect we will see more and more schools that are doing the calculations so we can start to have conversations about where we are relative to our peers, like our advancement colleagues have with giving rates.
If you could impart one piece of wisdom to someone devising a new alumni engagement program, what would it be?
The biggest lesson I have learned this past year in re-invigorating a program is to pick your priorities and create a few strong programs first versus trying to do a little bit of everything. I had to look at what I felt we must be doing (reunions, events, volunteer committees, communications, professional development) first and be patient for things I would like to be doing (travel program, regional chapters/clubs, legacy admission events, student alumni association) a little further down the road.
With newer programs, it is important to remember no two schools are the same and adapt your strategy to fit your alumni. At prior institutions, we would build a packed 3-4 day reunion or homecoming weekend expecting alumni to fly in from out of town and anticipating they wanted something to do the entire time. At Kean, I've found when we plan those multi-event weekends, sometimes our alumni have to pick and choose because they are local and don't want to get baby sitters both nights, or only feel like driving to campus once that weekend. Review best practices and absorb what you can at conferences, but always be sure to view them through the lens of your institution's alumni.

As the growing cost of rent continues to be ignored by those in power, we need a policy that tackles affordability head-on. Generation Rent is calling for a new kind of rent control which would be implementable anywhere in the country where rents are pricing people out of housing where they live and work. Its main features would be:
- Affordability - the maximum rent would be calculated along council tax bands, with a monthly maximum rent amounting to half of the annual council tax band for a home;
- Transparency - the cap would be based on understood property values and would be set by local authorities, accountable to residents who may want to argue for different limits;
- Flexibility - the calculation above would not be an absolute cap. Landlords would be free to charge rents over and above the limit set, but all rent charged above that level would be subject to a 50% surcharge;
- Fairness - all the proceeds from the surcharge would go into a ring-fenced fund for social house building, therefore ensuring the profits from private renting help alleviate the housing crisis.
You can read about the full details of the rent control system in our report here.
To show your support for a new system of rent control to create affordability in the private rented sector, please sign the petition on this page today.
We, the undersigned, call on Parliament to implement a system of rent controls that provides respite to tenants who in many cases are paying extortionate portions of their incomes on rents. We urge Parliament to recognise renters are near breaking point and to take action on this speedily.

Why President Bush may not get a lot of credit
In regard to the Jan. 8 Opinion piece, "Why doesn't Bush get more credit?": Author John Hughes proclaims that "Sadly, Bush currently seems to get little credit for ridding the world of Saddam Hussein, surely one of the world's most fearsome despots since Adolf Hitler."
He fails to mention that Mr. Hussein was our close ally in the Middle East under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. If he was, in fact, Hitler-like, why did we embrace him until he invaded Kuwait? How was it that we didn't recognize the Hitler in him until August 1990? Indeed, why did he remain our ally after he gassed the Kurds in 1988 on Mr. Reagan's watch? Why did Reagan say and do nothing in response to that atrocity?
As far as the US is concerned, it seems Hussein didn't acquire his despot status until he threatened US oil interests.
David Henson
Akron, Ohio
I was pleasantly surprised by the balance of John Hughes's commentary, considering the title. However, his statements regarding torture as being the misguided actions of individual soldiers ring false. Those actions started in Afghanistan at Bagram, and were the result of a program developed from observations of torture in past wars that recognized that it brought little truthful evidence. Those who developed these torture policies will be brought to light sooner or later.
Deb Wickersham

Nicaragua must work with donors
Regarding the Dec. 30 Opinion piece, "Don't let Nicaragua's Ortega become a Mugabe": This commentary highlights an important point: A prosperous and democratic Nicaragua is crucial to the stability of the region. In 2005, the federal government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) approved a $175 million grant to Nicaragua to help that country fight poverty and stimulate economic growth.
Recent actions, however – leading up to, during, and following the Nov. 9 elections in Nicaragua – run counter to the MCC's innovative mission to maximize the effectiveness of US foreign aid by targeting countries with a strong commitment to good governance.
While he calls for US government agencies to react to this, author Kevin Casas-Zamora does not mention that the MCC board of directors took action related to the situation in Nicaragua during its most recent meeting. On Dec. 11, the MCC board suspended assistance for new activities under its compact with Nicaragua. MCC's CEO Ambassador John Danilovich has publicly stated that the Nicaraguan government now has an opportunity to implement measures to reverse concerns regarding its commitment to democratic principles. When the MCC board meets again in March 2009, it will assess actions taken by the Nicaraguan government and determine MCC's future action.
The reality is clear: Nicaraguans are held back by actions that make it impossible for innovative US government programs, like those of MCC and other international donors, to work in the current environment.
Aaron Sherinian
MCC Director of Public Affairs
Washington, D.C.
It's time for forgiveness in Gaza
Regarding the Jan. 6 Opinion piece, "After Gaza, how Obama can pick up the pieces": I hope President-elect Obama sees this article and takes it to heart. The time has come for concessions and forgiveness.

Acts 8:26-40
26Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Get up and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a wilderness road.) 27So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go over to this chariot and join it." 30So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" 31He replied, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. 32Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. 33In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth." 34The eunuch asked Philip, "About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?" 35Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. 36As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?" 38He commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he was passing through the region, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
What I Am Learning:
Philip is out in the public. He has not confined himself to a church building or his house. He still has a place of worship – the Temple in Jerusalem. He still has a house – we don't know where that was. But he doesn't just stay there. He is out and about and available to interact with many different people.
He is out and about because the Spirit is calling him, through a messenger or angel, to be there. Biblically, this is the same spirit
- that moves over the face of the waters in creation
- the breath that gives life and consciousness to every person and animal
- the wind that created a path for the People to escape slavery,
- the wind that empowered the prophet's to speak difficult truths
- the wind that took scared disciples locked in a room and sent them into the streets.
That is one busy Spirit!
Philip goes out but the angel didn't tell him why. The angel didn't tell him who he would meet. But Philip goes anyway. Likewise, we don't always know the why, what, or who of what we are called to do. We get to discover these things. That is a part of what makes life and the baptized life so amazing.
There was Ethiopian eunuch, a very important official of the government there. He had been on a journey of his own. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship and was going home when Philip walked up to the caravan.
The text doesn't say if he was able to worship in Jerusalem or not. But it is quite likely that he would not be welcome in the Temple. Men were not allowed to worship if their penis or testicles were cut off or crushed. While the prophet Isaiah (probably a series of prophets) did not agree with this policy Isaiah's viewpoint did not win the day.
Yet the Ethiopian Eunuch, despite being turned away, was still reading the scripture! Despite being turned away he was still thirsty for the meaning and community promised in it.
So Philip and he began a conversation about the text. Without going into the long version, I believe Philip was talking about Jesus as a non-violent leader based on the Suffering Servant in Isaiah.
The Eunuch said, "What is to prevent me from being baptized?" After his experience of being excluded from the Temple, you can almost hear the desire, hope and fear in this sentence! But what faith this question represents!
To have been rejected as unclean and half-a-human male and to ask again requires a great and stubborn trust.
Philip and the Eunuch went to the water and Philip baptized him there.
Then Philip was snatched away by the Spirit.
This sounds a bit farfetched to us. Scottie beam me up!
But listen to what the story is trying to say:
The Ethiopian Eunuch had been on a long journey to faith. He had been formed for along time. He had all that he needed.
In this story Philip crossed two boundaries: A sexual boundary and a racial one.
One of the key values of scripture is that God is always seeking to include people who were formerly excluded.
Today in the Supreme Court arguments are being made about whether to say that marriage is a status that should be extended to gay and lesbian people. There will be many arguments about how "tradition has not allowed this in the past."
But this forgets the part of our tradition in which the tradition itself has been questioned and challenged when it falls short of love, and falls short of love for everyone.
This is the deeper part of our tradition.
Love and love for everyone.
May we hear and respond to this deeper part of the tradition, as Philip did in the wilderness between Jerusalem and Gaza!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) About Ardyss Products
Here you'll find the answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive regarding Ardyss products, ordering information and more. Click on the relevant subject categories below, for the most closely related information.
How is the Ardyss line of reshaping garments created differently than its competitors?
Together with a textile engineer, as well as expert designers and tailors, we implemented orthopaedic principles to fine lingerie. We avoided using iron ribs or rigid pieces that could be hard and annoying, and instead replaced those items with bands and materials with elasticity. As a result, the garments deliver orthopaedic benefits, but are comfortable to wear as well.
Body Magic Ardyss International's flagship product is designed to reshape you from your shoulders to your legs, and can help you drop up to three sizes. The Body Magic helps to firm and control your abdomen, lift and hold your lower stomach in position, and pulls your shoulders back and corrects your posture.
Corselette Deluxe
This garment reshapes your upper body from your shoulders to below your waist. It is designed to support the back and helps to straighten the spine. Adjustable straps help push the shoulders back and correct the posture. The Corselette Deluxe helps to correct the position of discs and prevents abnormal spinal curvature, supports and flattens the abdomen, and eliminates excess fatty tissue.
Abdomen Men's Shirt
This garment is for men who want to be healthy and in good shape. This shirt gives you an instant firm abdomen appearance. It also supports the back, helps protect the spine from backaches, can reduce your waist up to two sizes, and stimulates internal organ function.
How do the reshaping garments improve organ function?
With time, beginning at age 30, pressure over the abdomen begins to deteriorate. Internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, colon, pancreas and others, begin to lose their ability to function at an optimal level because they are designed to work properly with a certain amount of pressure. When these organs and regions of the body begin to shift, illnesses often appear.
By using the reshaping garments, it is possible to correct this from an aesthetic point of view, while, at the same time, recover function of affected organs. By using the Ardyss reshaping garments, organs return to their original locations, and the pressure caused by the garments makes them function normally once again.
Can the reshaping garments improve posture and spine health?
Without protection, like the assistance provided by the reshaping garments, the buttocks begin to shift downward. This causes an individual to begin to bend and become fatigued when walking. Spinal discs can often become damaged or even break.
By using the reshaping garments and maintaining the original shape of the buttocks, the impact transmitted by the heels when walking, running or jumping can be properly absorbed.
How do the garments continue to provide health and beauty benefits - even when they are not being worn?
With constant use, the breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks and spine conform and preserve a more desirable shape. From a medical standpoint, they keep their function. This translates into better health and greater beauty in the long run.
How can I find out my correct figure type?
Listed below are our simple descriptions of each body figure type:
Fuller on Top
Broader in the bust and shoulders than in the hips and thighs, this figure type is often represented by an inverted triangle.
Fuller on Bottom
Fuller in the hip and thigh area than in the shoulders, this figure type is often called a pear shape.
Full Figured
Rounder in the middle with no definition in the waist, this figure type is often called an apple shape.
Proportionate body – bust and hips are about the same circumference – and the waist is well-defined.
Straight up and down, this figure type is often called a boyish shape.
How can I see what a Body Magic or shaper will do for my figure?
Ardyss has a silhouette perfecting solution for every body type. Each shaping product is designed to transform your shape instantly.
Will I be uncomfortable in the Body Magic?
No, our well-designed and breathable fabrics provide maximum control to slim and reshape your figure with so much comfort that you won't even realize you're wearing a control garment.
Should I buy Body Magic in my regular clothing size?
No, the Body Magic is designed to make you look three sizes slimmer simply by getting dressed.
I am thin, but still have some tummy flab. What can I wear to hide my biggest figure flaw, my stomach?
Any of our reshapers are designed to shape and sculpt any figure, from a size 2 to a size 42. We offer an extensive variety of shapewear solutions with built-in tummy control.
How can I look sexier all over without wearing control undergarments?
You can't. Let's face it everyone needs a little help from our reshapers. The beauty of our reshaping and Body Magic lines are that all our garments are sexy with lace inserts and come in a variety of colors ranging from red to black.
I had a baby 6 months ago and still can't lose weight. What can I wear to hide my flabby tummy?
The Post Partum Girdle makes it easy for you to comfortably hide any excess tummy flab, so you can look great and feel beautiful as a new and proud mommy! By hiding those extra inches around your midriff our products can create the illusion of a slimmer silhouette.
How can I support and enhance my bust?
Easy. The Angel Bra is the answer. We offer the only bra that you need in your undergarment wardrobe.The Angel Bra shapes and enhances your bust with a sexy silhouette. You have to try one on to believe it.
What is the Body Magic and Reshaping system all about?
Each piece is strategically designed with a woman's point of view. Our garments will flatter and enchance many body types and shapes. Accentuating the positives and transforming your outside instantly is what our reshaping system is all about.

Ooh, this past week's weather in Portland has been phenomenal.
I realize that most people here think I'm nuts when I say something like that. After a long, wet winter, who really wants more gray skies, not to mention the rain.
I do.
Yeah, yeah, it's June, and June is supposed to feel more like summer than fall, but I love everything about fall, and I miss it.
So, as I the rain fell Saturday afternoon, I enjoyed the pitter patter against my windows and made a playlist that, at least to me, sounds like fall. And it goes a little something like this...
The title to this post has nothing to do with anything other than that it sounds good. It's taken from 'Charlie Patton Songs' by Gomez. Sort of.

The Experts
What's Solomon Lew's game with Myer?
Andrew Main
Wednesday, November 01, 2017
By Andrew Main
You can accuse Solomon Lew of all sorts of things but you can't say he's boring.
His latest foray sees him doing his best to put a rocket up the management of the Myer group in advance of the annual meeting on November 24.
A month ago he formally sought a copy of the share register, which he is quite entitled to do, although Solly watchers note that he already knows exactly who the biggest holders are.
There's his Premier Investments with the 10.8% stake for which it paid a comparatively high $101 million back in March, and Anton Tagliaferro's Investors Mutual with a slightly smaller total, still exceeding 10%.
Anton said recently that his organisation had been buying in "over the last few months" which sounds like careful backfoot buying.
By comparison everyone knows Solly bought his stake in a one day raid in March at $1.15 a share, and on which he has so far copped a paper loss of almost $40 million.
So, does Solly know something the rest of us don't about the terrific potential for perennial underperformer Myer, or is he yelling because he's in a jam?
His record suggests he's a risk taker who loves to scare the establishment but his win-loss record is not exclusively stellar.
Going back into the records, he took a whacking over a play he made in the late 1980s whereby a vehicle called Yannon bought $25 million worth of shares in Premier, using finance and an indemnity provided by Coles Myer Ltd. Coles Myer never disclosed the transaction despite it having lost $18 million on it. The effect of the Yannon deal was to prop up Premier at a time when it was heavily in debt from a foray into the Westfield group
The ASC, as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) was known then, investigated the case and recommended a prosecution but the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions never laid charges, shutting down the investigation in early 2000. So Solly walked away an innocent man, although he had to contribute to a $12 million settlement with Coles Myer.
The washup of that affair meant he stepped down as chairman of Coles Myer and was subsequently compelled by chairman Stan Wallis to step down from the board entirely in 2002.
That doesn't sound a lot like a win, most particularly in reputational terms.
Financially, he has done well from a number of leverage plays since then.
Between 2004 and 2007 he did very well out of holding a stake in Coles Ltd (as it became in 2006 after Myer was bought by private equity group TPG).
He can claim a bit more glory on that one, as it was he who encouraged the KKR private equity group to bid for Coles.
KKR didn't get Coles in the end but in April 2007 Solly's Premier Investments sold its 5.9% stake in Coles Ltd to Wesfarmers for $16.47 a share, collecting a gross profit of $1.14 billion.
That can't be described as anything but a very good outcome for him.
His other subsequent coup was a very effective piece of greenmailing in relation to a parcel of shares in Country Road in 2014.
Greenmail is an entirely legal practice whereby a shareholder who owns more than 10% in a stock can hold out for the best price. Any less than 10% and the bidder is allowed to move to what's called compulsory acquisition.
It was a complicated deal whereby South African group Woolworths had to pay Premier $210 million to buy its 11.8% stake in Country Road as part of a takeover bid Woolworths for David Jones, in which he also had a stake.
In other words, he held all the cards and that netted him well over $200 million, entirely legally.
So that's some recent background. You can rightly conclude that Solly Lew is extremely smart and he loves nothing more than holding a blocking stake in a company that someone else wants to take over.
Which brings us back to Myer now. Solly's complaining to anyone who will listen that Myer is badly run and that some of its stores are more like an opportunity shop than a top end retailer.
He recently asked in vain for two board seats after forcing chairman Paul McClintock to announce in September that rather than step down in favour of former Spotless chairman Garry Hounsell, as he had planned, he would put himself up for re-election at the November 24 annual meeting.
So this Solly bull is making significant inroads in the Myer china shop.
But, and this is a big but, where's a bid for Myer going to come from that will justify his massive $101 million outlay on getting his blocking stake in the stock?
He's muttering about calling an extraordinary meeting to roll some or all of the board, and his rumblings are made all the more valid by the fact that he has huge experience in retail and the board doesn't.
But he's already said he has no intention to bid and there's no one else within cooee who wants to take over Australia's number two department store group at a time when the entire retailing world has been thrown into uncertainty by the imminent arrival of Amazon.
Bear in mind that much of the sorrow at Myer was caused by the fact that the pre-float owners TPG cut costs out of the business then sold it for the highest price they could, which was a startling $4.10 a share, in 2009. It's now worth around 77 cents.
Meaning, he might have to work this one the hard way: arm wrestle his way to a position of power on the board and then oh so slowly turn the ship of Myer round to the sort of profitability it enjoyed back in the mists of retailing time.
It's a very big job and it would be a mistake to see Solly Lew as having a nice full hand of royalty cards ready to play on this one.
At this point, he's popping on and off stage like a pantomime villain but he's not doing it because he's got a clever trick up his sleeve. He's doing it because he doesn't have a lot of alternatives.
I wrote back on September 20 when Myer shares were at 70 cents that I couldn't see how any brokers could put a "buy" on them. Solly's current campaign has pushed the price up to around 77 cents.
But unless you think he is a retail genius who will be allowed to rescue Myer's fortunes, or you think there's a bid coming for Myer from somewhere, it's still a challenging proposition. I'd still avoid it.

13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Review
13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a great film. In fact I'll go so far as to say I liked it much more than Star Wars. What??!! Sacrilege you say!
Now I love Star Wars, but I walked out of the theater after seeing 13 Hours more satisfied, more emotionally impacted, and more mentally engaged than I have been in long time by a film.
I thought it was an amazing depiction of modern warfare–some have said the best. It really reminded me a lot of Black Hawk Down (which I also loved). Being a war film there were a number of things I looked for and it checked most of my boxes for a good war movie including lots of guns, fighting, male ego, blood, heroism, and sacrifice. I thought they forced the family man angle a little too much so that it didn't feel quite as genuine, but it still had an emotional pull.
However, the biggest takeaway for me was that the film clearly depicts the competing philosophies that we have in foreign relations with the Middle East in general and predominantly Muslim culture in particular.
One ideology says that we can stop terrorism, violence, and dictators by being winsome, having a conversation and working with local rebels to bring in democracy. A simplified version thinks that we should all be able to rise above our differences and just get along.
The opposite ideology says that this way of thinking is the definition of futile. The worldview of Islamic culture does not allow for freedom and democracy. The worldview of Islam has no intention, or desire of getting along.
Whether its ISIS trying to bring in the Caliphate now or Iran playing the long game, this is a religion (Apocalyptic Islam) that does not want peace, hates liberty, and would destroy all infidels, and the entirety of the West if they could, yesterday.
The leaders of our country for the past several administrations have failed to recognize this and have had the goal to impart American values and democracy in the Middle East. And from the Iraq war to the fiasco in Libya, all have failed spectacularly.
Why is this film important? It proves in a very visceral way that this strategy is a failure. It didn't work when Bush invaded Iraq to depose one dictator. It didn't work when Obama and Clinton aided the Libyan rebels to depose another dictator.
You had maybe one of the best Ambassadors in terms of getting to know the people and getting the locals to love him and talk with him as was shown in the outpouring after Chris Stevens death. Yet it still failed.
This film is also important because it shows the lengths our leaders will go to prove their point. It has been stated that Ambassador Chris Stevens sent over 600 requests for additional security to the State Department. Why weren't these requests for additional security recognized? Because it would have forced them to concede their philosophy doesn't work.
Additionally, after the attack America was led to believe that a YouTube video was responsible. The leadership wanted to prove the point that when differences are pointed out people get mad and kill each other. They also wanted to say that those who would point out differences are to blame, not the ones who try and work together.
This film blows all that up literally.
There is no way that those attacks were a spontaneous response. First the attacks happened on September 11th, a holy day now for any jihadist. There were well-coordinated waves of attacks in two different locations. The local police and security disappeared at just the right time, and mortars were used effectively, which require advance planning.
I would love for the people of the Middle East to experience individual freedoms and democracy but what so many fail to recognize is that freedom and the rights of the individual are largely a Christian construct.
Western Civilization and America in particular exist because of the foundations given to them by Christianity. Christianity championed the rights of free speech. Free speech didn't just happen all by itself. The liberty of conscience exists because America's founders (while not all professing Christians) had a Christian worldview and understood that the tenets of Christianity were very good for society at large.
Christianity espouses that everyone has been created in image of God and has value. Everyone has eternal dignity. If I believe my neighbor (and everyone else in the world) was created in the image of God than certain behaviors will follow. I want them to be free. I want them to speak freely; I want them to have liberty of conscience. These liberties didn't just happen. They were established, protected, and guarded by Christian societies.
The film 13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi shows that we will never effect change or control the ideologies in the Middle East until we understand the foundation that drives their actions.
I give it 4/5 stars.
