Peppermint Ice Cream (from Cooking Light)
Recipe by LonghornMama
From the December 2003 issue of Cooking Light. It is creamy, yummy and low fat. A good way to get rid of those post-Christmas RED candy canes. (Don't use the green and red peppermint candy canes unless you want grey ice cream)
Top Review by susie cooks
This is very nice. I like that it is a Cooking ight recipe that tastes great. I added the crushed pieces of candy (I used candy canes) to the mixture but the ice cream machine totally crushed them because it was all smooth. Next time I will add the candies in the last 5 minutes of churning. I will definitely make this again. Thanks!

Gooooooooood afternoon Noisebridge!

Wow. Has it really been a year? And what an amazing year.

I started the event homeless and unemployed, as something fun to do to make friends and learn stuff. And now it's turned into a community.

The two people who deserve probably the most thanks for last night are Ani Niow and J. Fox Circe. Ani came down with strep throat days before the event, and when we were desperate and needed help, Fox came through and basically saved the event. Without his help, last night probably wouldn't have happened. They worked together through what has now become an arduous task of preparing the slides and videos, and really pulled off something amazing. Thank you guys.

Others who deserve thanks: Miloh and Naomi, who ran the video recording. Autumn and Sierra, who helped bring champagne. Erin and Stella, who helped pass out the champagne at the end. Alex and V, who set up the crazy telethon idea and brought cake. Meli, who brought cake and cupcakes. All the speakers, and most importantly, everyone who attended and created one of the most amazing vibes we've ever had.

So, one last, very important parting note. For a year, we've managed to kind of pull this event off, and sometimes it's been kind of last minute, sometimes we've had bizarre problems pop up, but it's always mostly worked. I think that now it's big enough that we want to reach out to the community and see who wants to help, contribute, suggest and improve. In this, we're going to start doing a 5MoF meetup group once a month in the offweeks, where anyone can come and help plan for the next one. We're still fleshing out details for how it'll work, but I'll post another email with more information to the list soon.

Thanks again for helping to create such a great event.

Until next month,
aestetix

This also means that the removal of herring gull eggs and / or nests can only be carried out by those licensed to do so.Herring gull factsThe herring gull is by far the most popular bird on the Island. They are large, noisy and usually found around our coasts or foraging for scraps around rubbish tips and fast food outlets.The adults have light grey backs, white under parts, and black wing tips with white 'mirrors'. Their legs are pink, with webbed feet and they have heavy, slightly hooked bills marked with a red spot. Young birds are mottled brown and the adult bird can weigh over a kilogram and have a wing span of 5 feet.Herring gull breedingBreeding pairs court in March and start nest building from early April onwards.Eggs are laid from April to May onwards with two or three being the usual number. The eggs take about three to four weeks to hatch so the first chicks are generally seen around the beginning of June.Chicks generally fledge in August and then take three or four years to reach maturity and breed. Parent birds protect fallen chicks by diving and swooping on people and animals.Gulls tend to return to the same nesting site and, unless action is taken to proof a building, problems associated with these birds may recur annually.

Vale player in meningitis scare
Port Vale defender Rae Ingram has been diagnosed with meningitis.
The 28-year-old is in an isolation ward at a hospital in Telford after falling ill last week.
The rest of the Port Vale squad has been tested for meningitis, but a spokesman for the club said they were satisfied it had not spread.
The player should find out on Tuesday whether he has the viral or bacterial strain of the illness.
Ingram, who has been out injured for much of this season, could face a recovery period of up to three months.

Contractor criticised before Hatfield
The company responsible for inspecting the track involved in the Hatfield crash was heavily criticised for poor workmanship just two weeks before the incident.
Railtrack sent a letter to the contractor Balfour Beatty warning that it must improve its standards.
In a letter seen by the BBC, Railtrack described the company's work at Leeds railway station as "shoddy" and "appalling".
Four people died and more than 30 were injured in the crash at Hatfield on 17 October
Railtrack's memo is scathing about the contractor's work.
It says one piece of track was so inexpertly replaced that every train passing over it was causing new damage.
The letter, which is accompanied by an internal memo, was sent by Railtrack's north east director.
It ends by asking Balfour Beatty not to bother apologising but to fix the problem and fix it quickly.
The complaints were about a major contract to rebuild tracks at Leeds station.
Connex warning
But Balfour Beatty was also in charge of track maintenance at Hatfield, 175 miles down the line.
Balfour Beatty does not deny being rebuked but says it has also received praise from Railtrack.
Earlier on Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott said he hoped the removal of train operator Connex's franchise would prompt a "clear sense of purpose" by the rail operators to improve services.
Mr Prescott promised to do whatever possible to improve rail safety in the wake of the Hatfield crash.
The extra Ł1.5bn now set to be invested in the system was the start of a major overhaul, he added.
"We all want a safe and well-performing railway," he said.
"But the tragic event at Hatfield reminds us that in future, as in the past, there must be no higher priority than safety."
Urgent action
Mr Prescott said the crash was likely to have been caused by a broken rail, an example of a much wider problem which had been a "continuing concern for some time" to ministers, the Health and Safety Executive and the rail regulator.
He said he had therefore asked the HSE "to look urgently" to see what action was needed on other parts of the rail network where broken rails may be a danger.
"I have agreed with the HSE that the investigation must look beyond the immediate causes of the crash, to any root causes, including structural and organisational factors which could have contributed to the accident."
Following criticism of management and performance, Connex lost the South Central franchise to Go-via, a company owned by the Go-Ahead group, which already runs the Thameslink and Thames Train services.

Engineering Faculty Members Receive $4.7 Million Contract from the Nevada DOT to Develop and Implement Data Warehouse
Engineering faculty members Alexander Paz and Angelo Yfantis have received a $4.7 million contract with the Nevada Department of Transportation to design, implement, and deploy a single data warehouse system and the corresponding business intelligence analytics. The design and implementation will be integrated with and provide support to the existing GIS systems at NDOT.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has implemented many systems over the years; currently, it has over 50 applications/source systems in place. Each of these systems was designed for a specific function, but not necessarily with the global needs of the agency in mind. Emerging technologies and state-of-the-art solutions require integration and data sharing across multiple existing NDOT systems. This proliferation of systems and applications has left NDOT with data stored in multiple disparate databases, with no obvious way to link them together. Cross-system analysis, which requires the integration and analysis of data from multiple systems, is a labor-intensive process generally done by the functional staff. The department understands that much of its data has a geographical component and that the analysis of this data is necessary. GIS serves as the cornerstone for many operational and analytical functions at NDOT, including the Highway Performance Management System (HPMS) and the Nevada Citation and Accident Tracking System (NCATS). Major challenges exist with this type of data architecture, and a Data Governance Team has been formed to address this challenge. Further, NDOT understands that it is critical to be able to analyze data across its tabular and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases. The UNLV team will help address these issues through the development and implementation of a new integrated spatial data warehouse.

Is the Problem Calvinism or Fundamentalism (or the Combination)?According to a recent article in the New York Times I am the leading opponent of Calvinism (or the New Calvinism) in America today. I don't know where the writer (Mark Oppenheimer) got that idea. Certainly not from me. Someone else must have said that to him. If it's true it's only because there are very few people with a public platform speaking out against it. It was never my intention to be "the" or even "a" leading opponent … [Read more...]

Can I Give A 20 Month Old Baby Cough Medicine I run a daycare so my kids are always catching bugs. My daughter's kid is sick and she tends to get worse than other children Can I get her cough medicine instead of always having to wait until she gets worse and gets an ear infection (she tends to get those after a mucousy cold). She does have tubes, but every once in awhile she gets ear infection. Is there something I can get off the counter for common cold or runny nose congestion and cough?READ MORE
What cough medicine can you give a one year old?
This is outside my area of expertise, but as a grandmother myself, I know that currently they do not recommend any over-the-counter medications for children under two years. I'd suggest that your daughter call her child's pediatrician and ask what she can do when her daughter gets sick to try and prevent her from getting worse. I know how heartbreaking it is to see your child or grandchild sick and feel helpless to help them. I hope the pediatrician has some helpful suggestions.

A lot of studies suggest this is the case, but none is as interesting as that by Philip Z. Maymin, an assistant professor of finance and risk engineering at Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
Maymin scrutinized records kept by the investment firm Gerstein Fisher from 1993 to mid-2010. Professor Maymin's work included analysis on more than 1.5 million interactions between the firm and its clients and made a staggering finding. The value of investment advisers is not so much in picking stocks, but in keeping clients from impulsively trading at the wrong time. Maymin found that aggressive orders cost clients about 4% a year.
In other words, investors act against their own best economic interests with alarming regularity and cost themselves huge amounts of wealth in the process.
Dr. Casti says this is because society tends to form social groups based on affinity rather than simply becoming a collection of isolated individuals. That's why investors tend to magnify the importance of information you see in the herd around you rather than breaking from it before it goes over the cliff.
When it comes to money, we see this in a phenomenon known as "chasing returns" or following the hot money. This is why annual performance issues like those published in Forbes, Money Magazine or Kiplinger's, for example, are so irresistible. And so dangerous.
That brings me to fear.
The Only Thing We Have to Fear …
Right now millions of investors are sitting on the sidelines completely paralyzed by plain old-fashioned fear.
Yet, I would argue that fear actually contributes to both recency and herding because it causes people to sit on cash that should be invested or keep money in the game when it should be taken to the sidelines.
Studies show that this comes down to pain. Losses hurt. They hurt financially and they hurt emotionally. Nobody likes them.
That's why people are more likely to let a losing position go against them than take profits — because they can't take the "pain" of being wrong. The fact that they are unprofitable becomes almost irrelevant.
I can attest to that, having helped hundreds of thousands of investors over the years through my columns, presentations and seminars worldwide. That's why I do everything I can to enforce the discipline of taking profits and minimizing losses in careful concert with an overall plan.
By breaking the recency factor and eliminating the herding mentality that went with it, I find that many times fear is no longer an issue. So how do you break the habits that you didn't know you had?
Here are three simple options:
- Have a plan. Use the proprietary 50-40-10 structure allocation model I pioneered. That way you can sleep well at night knowing that even if the markets pitch a hissy fit, your money is properly concentrated in a safety-first structure that's high on income, stability and growth.
- Take a measured approach. Dollar cost average into positions over time by splitting your money into chunks instead of investing it all at once. That way you're investing a little at a time and can overcome the recency bias associated with big down days or bad news that rocks the markets. People usually look for patterns they can bet on, and averaging in removes this self-defeating tendency very deliberately and effectively.
- Use trailing stops. Conventional wisdom tells you to sell your losers and let your winners run. I think that's backwards. Nobody ever made money by selling losers. You have to periodically sell your winners without interference and trailing stops let you do that. Of course, you've got to trim your losses, too, so don't get me wrong here. Most brokerage firms have online trading platforms that can do this automatically. If yours doesn't, consider a simple, inexpensive service like www.tradestops.com.
In closing, there's no denying that what happens tomorrow is a function of what happened to us yesterday. The question is how we harvest what we learn in the meantime.

Well, not really.
"If I had done that, the people who liked me in the first place would totally not like me," Jones says.
The 24-year-old insists she had never expected Don't Know Why, the lilting ballad that fueled Come Away's progress, to attract commercial radio.
"The top-40 stations that played Norah last time did so, often kicking and screaming, because she was part of pop culture," says Sean Ross, vice president of Edison Media Research. He adds that airplay was "not proportionate to sales. Adult top-40 stations embraced the album more aggressively once the (sales) story was there."
Jones even resisted suggestions from top brass at EMI, the music group that oversees her label, Blue Note Records, to record a remix of Don't Know Why. "They did one without my permission as an example. It sounded ridiculous. So it was nice to be able to say, 'See? We don't have to compromise anything.' "
That philosophy drove the tracks on Home as well. "It's not the same record as my last one, but it's not completely different," Jones says. "I'm playing with the same people, give or take a few. It's a little less slow-moving, but then again, I liked that about the first record, that it kept the same mood throughout."
Co-produced by Jones and noted veteran Arif Mardin, who also manned the boards for Come Away, the new CD doesn't abandon the subdued, bare-bones approach of Jones' first outing, but adds subtle enhancements. Dolly Parton, whom Jones sang with at last year's Country Music Awards, makes a guest appearance, along with drummer Levon Helm and organ and accordion player Garth Hudson of The Band.
"When we made the last record, I was still listening to a lot of jazz," Jones says. "Since then, I've started listening to more songwriter stuff, and a lot of country music." Jones lists Parton, Alison Krauss and alt-country favorites Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch on her current hit parade.
Jones has also been collaborating more with her bassist and boyfriend, Lee Alexander. The couple co-wrote four of Home's 13 songs.
"We live together, but working with Lee like this is a pretty new thing," Jones says. "With everything that's happened, my head has been elsewhere, so Lee and I put our heads together. Eventually, I'm sure, we're going to both want to work more on our own stuff."

Financial aid funds, with the exception of federal work-study eligibility, are applied directly to your Bursar's Office account. NIU bills for one semester at a time. Disbursement for undergraduate and graduate programs occurs after the end of the add drop period.
Prior to the start of the semester, the financial aid that has been accepted for that term is posted on MyNIU as "Pending Financial Aid," which acts as a deferment or credit toward the outstanding charges. Financial aid funds begin to disburse to your Bursar's account following the second week of classes each semester. Additional requirements may be necessary for loan funds to disburse. For additional information refer to the Loans section under Types of Aid.
Refunds begin going out to eligible students and parents (in the case of Parent PLUS Loans) the week following the add/drop period of each semester. To receive a refund you must have financial aid in excess of your charges. To assure the timeliest receipt of a refund, students and parents are encouraged to sign up with the Bursar's Office for direct deposit of your funds into a personal bank account. For additional information visit: http://www.niu.edu/bursar/refunds/index.shtml
You have the right to cancel all or part of any Direct Loans funds that have been applied to your bill.
If a refund was issued to you from loan funds, we will not be able to cancel or reduce your loan for any amount you received as a refund unless the refund is returned to the Student Financial Aid Office. The refund check (if the refund was issued by paper check) or a personal check made out to Northern Illinois University (if the refund was issued by direct deposit) will be submitted to the Bursar's Office to be voided (refund check) or to be applied to your account (personal check) once the Financial Aid Office has made the necessary adjustments to your loan.
If you do not wish to return the refund to our office, you have the option to return any unwanted loan funds received as a refund directly to Direct Lending. Please contact your loan servicer if you have any questions. (To find out who your loan servicer is please visit the National Student Loan Data System NSLDS) You should also know that while choosing to repay your servicer will decrease your loan obligation, you will still have utilized your loan eligibility for the academic year. If you decide later that you would like the loan reinstated or if you would like loan eligibility for the summer semester, you will not be able to get this loan eligibility back for the academic year.
If you would like to reduce or cancel the Direct Loans that were applied to the bill, you must submit a written request to the Student Financial Aid Office indicating the amount you would like in both Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans (or PLUS Loan if you have received it). You have 14 days from the date of disbursement to submit a request to cancel or reduce your loan funds. Be sure to include your (the student's) name and NIU Z-ID number on the request and submit to:NIU
Please note that canceling or reducing a loan that has already applied to charges will increase the amount of your bill.
If you have any questions about your financial aid or the loan cancellation process, please feel free to come into our office to speak with a student financial aid counselor.
All scholarship checks sent to NIU will be directly applied to your Bursar's account; one-half in the fall semester and one-half in the spring semester, unless otherwise specified by the scholarship donor. Scholarships go toward meeting financial aid need and may affect eligibility for other types of aid.
Financial aid recipients may charge books and supplies to their Bursar's account at either campus bookstore for a limited time at the start of each semester. The book charge system allows you to charge up to $700 for each fall and spring semester and up to $350 for the summer semester.

BEIJING – In March, at a meeting in Beijing organized by Columbia University's Initiative for Policy Dialogue and China's Central University of Finance and Economics, scholars and policymakers discussed how to reform the international monetary system. After all, even if the system did not directly cause the recent imbalances and instability in the global economy, it proved ineffective in addressing them.
Reform will, of course, require extensive discussion and deliberation. But the consensus in Beijing was that the G-20 should adopt a modest proposal this year: a limited expansion of the International Monetary Fund's current system of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). This proposal, while limited in scope, could play an important role in initiating discussion of deeper reforms while helping to restore the fragile world economy to health and achieve the aim expressed in the G-20's Pittsburgh declaration: strong, sustainable, and balanced growth.
We suggest that SDRs' role be expanded through new issues and by increasing their use in IMF lending. Doing so would build on the enlightened suggestion made at the G-20's London meeting in April 2009 to issue SDRs equivalent to $250 billion, which was then quickly implemented. The G-20 could suggest that the IMF issue a significant volume of SDRs over the next three years. We would suggest, for example, an issue of SDR150-250 billion annually (approximately $240-390 billion at current exchange rates).
Such a measure would have several positive effects. First, it would reduce the recessionary bias in the world economy, especially during crises and in their aftermath. Many countries continue to accumulate high levels of precautionary reserves, especially to avoid future crises stemming from reversals on their capital and trade accounts. Recent financial crises have taught countries that those with large reserves are better able to weather the vicissitudes of international financial markets.

Acerca del creador
Marvin Wolf began his life in photojournalism as an Army combat photographer in VIetnam. His career took an unexpected turn when he was awarded a battlefield commision as an infantry officer, but he never stopped shooting pictures. After leaving the service he completed his college education, then taught photojournalism parttime while accepting assignments from a multitude of magazines and corporate clients. Reunited with his teenaged daughter in 1984, he segued into writing books because the responsibilities of fatherhood limited his travel. Even after a dozen books and several screenplays, however, photography remains his passion. No longer soliciting assignments, Wolf occupies himself with self-directed projects, a balance of mining his extensive files and creating new images.

Halo: Reach
Review by AK_the_Twilight
"Bungie says goodbye, we say Halo."
If there was one console shooter that defined its generation, Halo: Combat Evolved was it. Master Chief's adventure across the ring-world of Halo became one of the most popular mythologies seen in any game, bringing the Microsoft Xbox into home after home. It's been nearly 10 years since Halo: Combat Evolved appeared on store shelves, and since then, Halo has become a phenomenon. But before leaving the Halo franchise behind them, Bungie is giving eager wannabe Spartans one last hurrah before the company enters the world of multi-platform game development. Halo: Reach is that last hurrah. Despite the lackluster campaign and slight stagnancy of the Halo gameplay formula, Bungie has crafted a game well worthy of the Halo name, one that will be remembered for years to come.
Halo: Reach's story follows Noble Team, a collection of soldiers who also happen to be Spartan warriors, super-powered militants created to fight against the long-time antagonists of the human race, the Covenant. You play as Noble Six, the newest member of Noble Team. Noble Team is deployed to the Earth colony planet Reach to quell a Covenant uprising and put a dent in their forces. Along the way, the Noble Team members duke it out against the Covenant forces, reveal some bitter memories, and set the stage for the penultimate Covenant blitz. Halo: Reach's true dramatic irony isn't revealed initially, but if you read the novels based around the Halo universe, you will already know the fate of the soldiers who defend Reach. For those of you who haven't educated yourself in Halo mythology, Reach's storyline still has plenty of merit. Admittedly, seeing Halo without Master Chief is kind of surreal at first, but once you really immerse yourself in the Halo world, you'll quickly find out that Halo isn't about a single character anymore; it's about the universe and the war amongst it. Halo: Reach is a cool departure from the save-the-day mentality that has plagued many action titles, opening plenty of new doors for a better and deeper storyline experience.
Halo: Reach abandons many of the older nuances seen in past Halo games. Equipment is out, replaced with armor effects. These abilities are reusable skills that range from sprinting to armor locking (temporary invincibility, but the inability to move) to a jetpack boost. The armor effects have specific recharge time, so there's a degree of strategy in using them during the single and multiplayer. Also dual-wielding has been removed, so no more running riot with dual plasma rifles. Halo: Reach also brings back the health packs from the original Halo: Combat Evolved, so balancing the rechargeable shield and health in combat is also pretty intense. The changes and refinement are welcome, but compared to the leaps and bounds made from the first two Halo games, Halo: Reach doesn't evolve the gameplay that much.
Halo: Reach has some great set-pieces in its campaign. Some are well beyond even those seen in Halo 3, but the game never really builds upon those set-pieces. Earlier missions are borderline boring, and even with new weapons, vehicles, and armor effects, never seem to feel as fresh and engaging as they've been promoted to be. There are some detours through the campaign, like piloting a spacecraft or manning a turret, but none of these ideas feel essential to Halo: Reach's gameplay. It feels like they were inserted into the campaign in a desperate attempt to break up the shooting. The lack of any triumphantly epic moments like the final run in Halo 1 or the massive Scarab battle in Halo 2 really brings Halo: Reach down a few notches. Ultimately, the gameplay doesn't feel very progressive or evolutionary.
That's not to say that the shooting is bad. Far from it; Halo: Reach does feel more like a throwback to the original Halo: Combat Evolved and that's a great thing. Before Master Chief met the Arbiter, before the ring-world Halo was even mentioned, Earth was at war with the Covenant. It feels familiar, but in a good way. There's something comforting about returning to the battlefield to blast grunts and assassinate Elites, harkening back to a time before intricate plot-points divided up the gameplay into different styles. The introduction of modern Halo amenities like vehicle hijacking, new weapons, and armor abilities definitely makes Halo: Reach a solid balance between new and old. Sadly, though, Halo: Reach doesn't reach the caliber of its predecessors due to a slightly dated design and a lack of progression.
Once you finish the campaign, dive into the competitive multiplayer. This is where Reach really expands upon past games in the series. Everything you know and love from earlier Halo games is here and better than ever. More game types, match preferences that are easier to customize, streamlined matchmaking, and plenty of competition online make Halo: Reach the epitome of Halo multiplayer. New weapons feel right at home in Halo: Reach's multiplayer, changing up the skirmishes in consistent and remarkably balanced ways. Match types like the incredibly addictive and chaotic Headhunter mode bring some new spins to gameplay. The multiplayer does have a tendency to feel familiar and doesn't step up the variety the way that Halo 3 did, but it's hard to fault Bungie when the end result is so thrillingly addictive. The inclusion of Forge World and Firefight options keep the content count high, so there'll always be something more to do after the campaign is complete. It's a massive package that will satisfy even the hungriest of FPS fans.
Halo: Reach is the best looking game in the Halo series, hands-down. Character animations are much less mechanical than in past Halo games and the cut-scenes feel much more real, capturing the urgency in the story well. In-game, the battles are intense and filled with exceptional weapon effects. There are a few glitches and the cut-scenes can suffer from a slightly sluggish frame rate, but this is a great-looking game, one that captures the atmosphere of Halo's universe well. The sound design is just as exceptional, with some great new performances of classic Halo themes. Voice acting isn't as cheesy as past games, keeping the dialogue serious and straightforward. Weapon sounds are excellent; explosive grenade blasts and fizzling cool-downs of plasma weapons all feel perfectly tuned. If the presentation of past 360 Halo games felt a bit underwhelming, Halo: Reach's presentation will more than make up for it.
+ Hearty and addictive multiplayer remains one of the best on any console
+ Surprisingly captivating story
+ Nice graphical improvements and sound design
+ Excellent setpieces and battle sequences return to the classic Halo formula
- No serious evolution to the gameplay
- Shoehorned extraneous missions feel out of place
- Classic Halo formula can feel too familiar
Halo: Reach, flaws aside, won't be forgotten anytime soon. Bungie's final Halo adventure feels more like a tribute to the formula that kick-started the series, instead of a modernized first-person shooter experience, and with that, the framework does feel a bit dated. The firefights are good and surprisingly expansive, but don't feel evolved or particularly new. The campaign possesses an engaging narrative and some great set-pieces; it's just a shame that the gameplay hasn't made much of a leap since Halo 3. Still, the multiplayer is some of the best around, with plentiful options and a huge community. The return of Forge, Firefight, and cooperative campaign options will only fuel the community even more. Though Halo will still be around, seeing Bungie's final Halo installment puts the entire series into perspective. It'll be interesting to see how 343 Industries handles the series from this point on, but regardless, they have big shoes to fill. Halo: Reach is a fantastic game that doesn't redefine or re-imagine anything, but manages to offer so much content and so much panache in its execution that it really doesn't matter. It's rather sad seeing Bungie say goodbye to Halo; the video game world won't be the same. But as we await Bungie's next great title, play Halo: Reach and enjoy what is one of the best first-person shooters of 2010.

Morningstar has kept its "hold" on
The research house says that Trade Me was looking over valued on a multiple of 21 times forward earnings, and the sell down will free up capital to help reduce Fairfax's $1.2 billion of bank debt, with net debt dropping to around $230 million.
"This healthier balance sheet will enable Fairfax to weather continued weakness in advertising conditions and provide capital to pursue small bolt on online opportunities".
However the structural decline of the print industry in favour of online is a material earnings risk to parts of Fairfax's business and Morningstar views the stock as "very high risk," even as the company looks to evolve its business model to meet the demands of digitised media.
Morningstar is forecasting earnings per share of 8.1¢ in 2013 and 6¢ in 2014. Fairfax reported EPS of 8.7¢ in 2012.

"We'll be playing there," a source said. "It's just a matter of getting all the legal ramifications worked out. The 2014 and '15 ACC men's basketball tournaments will be held in Greensboro, N.C., but no decision has been reached beyond that. The tournament has been played every year since 1954, but only 11 times has it moved outside the state of North Carolina, and it hasn't been farther north than Maryland and Washington, D.C. The tournament has also been held in Georgia and Florida. Pittsburgh's coach Jamie Dixon is one of the main proponents in moving the tournament to MSG, in my humble opinion Dixon needs to shut his trap. The ACC Tournament is vintage to North Carolina and has only left the state a few times since its conception. Hopefully they can sort this thing out and keep the tournament in North Carolina.

Chanceller James commits to Boise State
September, 1, 2011
By Greg Biggins
It took a little longer than expected, but Boise State picked up a commitment from standout defensive back Chanceller James (Spring Valley, Calif./Steele Canyon) Wednesday night. James had been a huge Broncos lean for the past several months and the feeling was he would likely commit on an unofficial visit to the campus two weeks ago. He loved the visit but said he wanted to talk with his family first and an announcement was then expected within days. Two weeks later, the Broncos have their man and their 14th commitment of the season.

Castro, at the dead end of Lastarria and Merced DON'T MISS The
Saturday flea market on Plaza Mulato Gil, where you'll find an array of costume jewelry, books,
and antiques
MUSEUMS The Chilean capital's most artistic neighborhood takes
its name from Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Parque Forestal; 56-2/633-4472),
a 96-year-old Neoclassical palace housing 2,700 canvases by Chilean and global painters. Showcasing
the work of more than 300 local artists, the Museo de Artes Visuales (307
José Victorino Lastarria; 56-2/664-9337), or MAVI, serves as a center for Chilean contemporary
art. The recently reopened Museo Arqueológico de Santiago is next
RESTAURANTS Argentine couple Jorge Leguizamon and Andrea Oyharbide—he's
a chocolatier, she's a chef—recently opened Patagonia (96 José
Victorino Lastarria; 56-2/664-3830), a shop dedicated to freshly baked medialunas and handmade chocolates. Mainstay Sicosis (544 José Miguel de la Barra;
56-2/632-4462), one of the area's first cafés, doubles as a boisterous cervecería on weekends, with live jazz and more than 100 beers on the menu. On sunny afternoons tables
are scarce at Emporio La Rosa (291 Merced; 56-2/638-9257), an unassuming
Italian café with a prime parkside location.
SHOPS When fashion-savvy Santiagans want to buy locally, they
head to Kebo (490 Ismael Valdés Vergara; 56-2/639-5537), for Carla
Godoy's flirty skirts and kimonos; Parentesys (359 Monjitas; 56-2/664-4423),
to find Juan José Soto's limited-edition men's wear (like silk-screened denims); and
Hall Central (316 José Victorino Lastarria; 56-2/664-0763), for avant-garde
clothing sold in the parlor of a 20th-century mansion. A collective of cutting-edge jewelers
can be found across the foyer at Ají (316 José Victorino Lastarria;
56-2/639-9928). The Aymara, Mapuche, and Ona tribal cultures serve as inspiration for the
modern clothing and jewelry at Tampu (327 Merced; 56-2/638-7992). Ona (295 Victoria Subercaseaux; 56-2/632-1859) is a gold mine for one-of-a-kind Chilean keepsakes

Read an Excerpt
"Hey, girl! It's good to see you."
Chloe was in midstride to shake hands with the gregarious petite young woman who greeted her but was never given the chance. Kyra Dixon ignored her outstretched hand and, instead, reached out her arms. She was expecting a hug that Chloe found herself obliged to give.
"Oh okay. Hi," Chloe managed awkwardly, as she hugged Kyra back and found herself engulfed in the whiff of floral perfume.
Kyra laughed. "You forgot the Hollington Hello? What's this shaking hands stuff? I want some sugar, girl."
Chloe tried to glance around the other guests having lunch in the faculty dining room and was relieved to see that no one was paying attention to this dramatic greeting. Not at all used to this from someone she hadn't seen in ten years, Chloe nonetheless gave in and followed Kyra's lead. Even as she would have withdrawn after they touched cheek to cheek and air-kissed, Chloe found Kyra's hello more suited to a favorite girlfriend or a beloved relative. They had not really been friends as undergraduates and certainly hadn't moved in the same circles.
With a gentle push Kyra directed Chloe to the empty chair opposite her at the large square table. Chloe settled herself in the comfortable high-back chair and, in the thirty seconds it took Kyra to take her own seat again, she closely observed the other woman.
Kyra was dressed in an eye-catching broad floral-print black-and-red silk blouse, worn with a black skirt. She wore black two-inch heels, probably in the hope that they would add height to her petite frame. She managed to look professional, feminine and cheerful. Her hair was worn straight to chin level and was parted off center so that it curved gently to frame her pretty face. As if on cue Kyra was making her own observations of Chloe.
"Your hair used to be short."
Chloe sat back and spread her napkin over her lap.
"Actually, I wore it mostly cornrowed. It was easier to take care of and cost less than going to the beauty parlor every two weeks. I stopped wearing the cornrows when I got my first job. I wanted to look"
"More mainstream." Kyra nodded, knowingly. She eyed Chloe thoughtfully. "Is it all yours or a weave?"
"Mine," Chloe said with a small, satisfied smile. "Every strand."
"I know what you're thinking." Kyra sighed, settling back in her chair that seemed to swallow her small frame. She crossed her legs. "We're still putting ourselves through hoops to be taken seriously in business. I can tell you I would not be PR director if I appeared Afrocentric. Hollington has a different message to send out about its students."
"So did I. For myself," Chloe said.
"I hear you. So when I was told that the Alumni Association had asked you to organize the homecoming this fall, I said Chloe who?" Kyra remarked, chuckling at her own humor. "It took a while before I could recall you. Then I remembered you and I were tortured together in that African dance class with that professor who was eighty if she was a day!"
Kyra broke out in a merry giggle, making it impossible for Chloe to take offense. To her Kyra's observation was proof that she'd done a good job of staying under the radar as an undergraduate. Chloe knew she had good reasons to be cautious, but Kyra didn't need to know what they were.
Anyway, she remembered Kyra from the aforementioned dance class but only because Kyra had been terrible at the ritual movements that called for a looseness of limbs and gyration of hips and butt. Instead, Kyra treated the class lightly, becoming the loveable uncoordinated participant who broke into laughter at her own mistakes and was accused of not having any natural rhythm. Crossing her legs and straightening the hem of her summer linen dress, Chloe also recalled that at first she'd thought Kyra was silly. But she'd come to admire that, rather than take a two-point elective class too seriously, Kyra had set about simply having fun and probably enjoying herself more than anyone. And she passed the class.
"It was either that dance class or the history of textiles," Chloe contributed to the memory.
"Right!" Kyra nodded, rolling her eyes. "I figured with the dancing maybe I'd get into my African roots. Forget that!" she said with a dismissive wave of her hand, giggling again.
Having been presented with the single-paged menu for the day, both Chloe and Kyra selected the grilled salmon with julienne carrots and saffron rice.
Chloe's assumption of a straightforward business meeting with Kyra had to be revisited as her former Hollington College classmate proceeded to treat her like a long-lost friend, gossiping about other classmates, school scandals and changes in college policies.
"I was also surprised to hear from you," Chloe said. "I didn't know you'd been hired by Hollington. How long have you been here?"
Kyra sighed as their moment of levity faded away. " Six years. I was just another assistant before they made me PR director. Let me tell you, it feels so strange to be back here and not have to worry about term papers and grades. As an administrator I have a whole 'nother perspective," she said wryly. "Remember how much we held the faculty and staff with suspicion? They were all, 'the other.' Now I'm one of them."
Chloe remembered no such thingonly how grateful she was to have been chosen to attend Hollington on a full scholarship. She hadn't treated any of those four years lightly.
"That's fine. You can see and appreciate both sides."
"That's true, but it's an interesting balancing act. I totally empathize with the students, having survived myself as one here at Hollington. But I also understand the responsibility from the college point of view. And there are other memories." Kyra shrugged.
Chloe watched Kyra, the girlish giggling replaced by an articulate but animated and attractive young woman.
"So, what is it you do, exactly?"
"I advocate for the college. I look for ways, and people, to keep up our reputation and profile as a contender in the higher academic community, especially for African-American students. I work to get us good press and try to find high schools with the caliber of student who'd be a good fit for Hollington."
Their lunch was served, and both women busied themselves with enjoying it. Finally, after more light conversation and as they were finishing, Kyra sat back in her chair. Her expression became thoughtful, her voice quiet.
"Remember Terrence Franklin?"
Chloe considered a moment. "I think so. Hot athlete, right? Very popular. I think he's a pro football player."
"Was," Kyra corrected. "He got cut after his last serious injury. Messed up his knee. The boy is out of the game," she ended flippantly.
"Oh," Chloe said. She wasn't a football fan, herself.
"Anyway, Hollington would like to have him come back to the college. We want to offer Terrence the position of head coach or even athletic director. It's my job to try and sign him up. It's not going to be easy," she said, frowning slightly.
"Why not?"
"Oh lots of reasons. Money and title and benefits. Let's face it. Being a coach at a college is a huge step down from being watched by zillions of fans on Monday Night Football. Terrence and I we have a history."
"Oh," Chloe said again. She didn't know anything about that, either.
"Yeah." She paused. "We were engaged when we were students. So, it could get complicated."
"Maybe not. Who knows? Terrence may be looking for something stable and comfortable now that his pro career is over."
Kyra quickly revived herself and smiled brightly. "Not your problem. And that's not why I wanted to meet with you today. I wanted to talk about the homecoming. You do realize it's also the tenth anniversary of our graduation in 1999?"
"Yes, I know," Chloe said, absently watching their plates being removed. She declined the dessert menu. "That's one of the reasons why I agreed to take it on. You know, I own and manage an event planning business. I've been thinking a lot about October."
"Well, I hope you haven't just been thinking about it. It's already July, and homecoming is on the calendar for the second weekend of October. That's three months."
Chloe smiled confidently. "I'm on it. The weekend schedule is pretty much set. The invitations went out in June."
"I saw it. Fabulous! You used the school colors very well. The invitation looked classy but fun. I like that the Hollington Lion mascot is silhouetted on the front, with a crown tilted at an angle on his head. He looks large and in charge." She laughed and said, "The varsity guys will appreciate that."
"We're already starting to get registration RSVPs. I think it's up to about two hundred."
"Good. Now, what do you have in mind for Friday night?"
"Well, I thought there should be a private cocktail party for the elite alumni who are big contributors to the college. You know the president can tell them how important and wonderful they are. I've invited the trustees."
"Make sure you have Lucius Gray on the list. He's an alumni and a very successful attorney in Atlanta. Also Beverly Clark. Her mother and a cousin graduated Hollington."
"I'm glad you mentioned Beverly. You know she was homecoming queen in 1998, the fall before we graduated, and I want her to ride in the parade float on Sunday again as homecoming queen. I'm having trouble reaching her. She hasn't returned any of my e-mails or phone calls."
Kyra pursed her lips. "Don't worry about it. I'll talk to Beverly. She and I were best friends in college. We were in the same sorority." Kyra glanced briefly at her. "What sorority were you in?"
Chloe was not about to admit to the embarrassment and rejection she'd experienced when she hadn't been asked to pledge by any of the sororities. With her limited resources, cheap clothes and troubled background, it was probably just as well. The less anyone knew about her the better.
"Oh, I didn't bother," Chloe said, trying to appear a little indifferent. "I didn't have time. I worked several part-time jobs. I was on scholarship so I had to keep up good grades." She chuckled lightly, to cover that encroaching reminder that she didn't fit in and never really belonged.
"Oh, but you were valedictorian at graduation, right? So it all paid off."
"Yes. It all paid off," Chloe reflected quietly.
Kyra signed for their lunch, and they left the small elegantly appointed room and headed back to her office. It was in one of the newer administration buildings along the south side of the college quad. On their walk back Kyra pointed out to Chloe other changes to the campus. Chloe admitted that since graduating she'd only been back on campus a few times. Kyra talked about the new stadium and science building with state-of-the-art labs and equipment. There was also restoration taking place on one of the original buildings, designed in the style of Stanford White.
As Kyra accepted messages from her assistant and walked into her office, she went back to the subject of the first night of homecoming weekend.
"Okay, so I know about the Friday reception with President Morrow. What about everybody else that night?"
"A meet and greet in the library gallery followed by Night Owl chats. I'm setting up rooms for many of the special interest clubs or groups so people can easily find classmates who had similar interests. Like, one for the sports jocks, one for the humanities. You know, art and creative writing students, music majors. And one for gays and lesbians"
"Whoa. I don't know about that last one. Just acknowledging them didn't fly with the trustees last year," Kyra warned.
"Well, I'll have to remind them and the president that a very well-known gay journalist who graduated from Hollington with top honors and has a flourishing career gives to the college. He's going to be at the Friday night party. We can't leave him out or make him invisible." Kyra continued to look skeptical and raised her brows. "Don't worry. It'll happen," Chloe said confidently.
"If you say so. Now," Kyra said, getting comfortable in her desk chair, scooting closer to the desk and staring at Chloe with an almost-childlike excitement, "what about the big dance on Saturday after the game? Have you found a place for that yet?"
"I'm considering several"
"Don't need to. Book Bollito."
Chloe felt an odd little flutter in her chest at the mention of one of the hottest clubs in Atlanta. Housed in what appeared to be an industrial box that was formerly a manufacturing warehouse, the club had opened to rave reviews just a few years earlier.
"I know you've been there. Everybody within a hundred miles of Atlanta has come in for dinner and dancing. It's a huge club space, but you don't get that feeling. There are five full floors and each floor has its own kind of decor and music. The concept is brilliant, but that's Kevin for you. He always comes up with the big ideas. You have to talk with him and get him to agree to use Bollito for the Saturday night dance. It's perfect."
Chloe was glad that Kyra had so much to say about Kevin Stayton's club in downtown Atlanta. It gave her enough time to gather her wits and come up with a response. Of course Bollito was a great choice of venues. She didn't object to that. She was having an adolescentlike moment at the thought of dealing with Kevin. And it wasn't like they'd known each other as students. But their few encounters together had been profound. Simple and as brief as the moments had been, Chloe realized that she had lived with the memories of those moments for ten years.
"Like I was about to say, it's on the list"
"No, no, no, no " Kyra said repeatedly, shaking her head and dismissing Chloe's explanations. "That was not a suggestion, Chloe. You have to book Bollito. Think about what it's going to be like to have it listed on the program. Think about the press. Bollito is way hot right now. It's impossible to book it for private functions, but Kevin is one of us. A ninety-niner!"
Chloe found herself laughing at Kyra's enthusiasm and logic. The truth of the matter was, Bollito would be perfect. But Bollito was not the problem.
"If it makes you feel better, I'm working on a proposal to send to Kevin."
"You need to talk to Kevin. I can't imagine him saying no. He better not." Kyra brightened suddenly. "You know what? I'm going to call him right now and set it up."
Despite Kyra's small size it was clear to Chloe that Hollington had chosen well in making her the director of PR. She had exactly what the job needed. Not taking no for an answer but with charm and good humor.
"Hi. This is Kyra Dixon. I'm PR director for Hol-lington College."
Chloe stared down at her hands, feigning indifference but listening to every word of the one-way conversation.
"Is Kevin available? Oh.. Will he be back soon? You're not sure."
Suddenly, Chloe reached over the desk and, to Kyra's obvious surprise, took the phone out of her hand.
"Hi. I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm Chloe Jackson, president of RSVP. I'm an event planner here in Atlanta. Perhaps I should be asking about Mr. Stayton, although I appreciate Ms. Dixon making the call. I understand he's not in, but I'm hoping he'll spare me some time this afternoon. Tell him" she glanced at Kyra "tell Kevin that I have a business proposition for him. It's about our homecoming weekend in October. We graduated from Hollington the same year.Yes, yes, that is kind of funny, isn't it?"
Chloe looked at Kyra and found her rolling her eyes. She had to grin.

Alfonso Caycedo (born November 19, 1932) is a Colombian neuro-psychiatrist and the founder and creator of sophrology. Professor Caycedo is the head of 'Sophrocay International', and is based in Andorra and Barcelona, where he teaches the upper levels of sophrology training.
Alfonso Caycedo was born on November 19, 1932 in Bogotá, Colombia. After his early education in Colombia, Caycedo moved to Spain to study in the faculty of medicine at the University of Madrid where he became a doctor of medicine and surgery. He specialised in psychiatry and neurology under the direction of Lopez Ibor, a Spanish professor of psychiatry.
From Hypnosis to Sophrology (1960)Edit
Caycedo was working as a psychiatrist in Spain just after World War II and became frustrated with the way traumatised war victims were treated with pills and chemicals, many of which had worse side-effects than the illness itself. Caycedo began to look for a better way of healing them. He also observed the effects of the sometimes violent treatments used in psychiatry at the time (for example, insulin comas, electric shock therapy without anesthetics), and began to question the necessity of modifying or altering the consciousness in this way. He researched other options and turned initially to clinical hypnosis. In 1959, he created the Spanish Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis in Madrid.
After much research and experimentation, Caycedo began to notice that his clinical observations did not always coincide with the theories of hypnosis. He also noticed that many people were wary of the term 'hypnosis' as it is often associated with something mysterious and even magical.
For this reason, he coined the term sophrology in October 1960 and the same year he founded the first department of clinical sophrology at Madrid University.
At this time, sophrology was in fact very close to hypnosis, although sophrology advocated a more humanist approach to the patient.
Phenomenology (1963-1964)Edit
Alfonso Caycedo met Ludwig Binswanger, the Swiss founder of phenomenological psychiatry, in 1963. Caycedo became a neurophsychiatric doctor at the Bellevue sanatorium in Kreuzlingen and was a student of Binswanger's. He became familiar with the method of investigation of the consciousness proposed by Husserl and Heidegger and this definitively influenced the direction of his research on the consciousness. Caycedo tried to democratise existential phenomenology through sophrology. He proposed to rediscover phenomena of modified states of consciousness with a phenomenology-inspired approach.
In 1963 the International Sophrology and Psychosomatic Medicine Society was created and presided over by Caycedo.
Sophrology became progressively a less inductive method. Each person's subjective experience, the personal deduction of phenomena, takes precedence over the inductions of the therapist.
The Far East (1965-1968)Edit
Caycedo travelled to the Far East, encouraged by L. Binswanger, and no doubt influenced by his wife, Colette, who was passionate about Yoga and whom he married in 1963.
He spent time in India where he learnt Yoga beside the great Yogis whom he met through Indian doctors. In the Himalayas, he met one of the doctors of the 14th Dalai-Lama, and discovered methods such as Tummo which allows one to reach modified states of consciousness. Caycedo also visited Japan where he was equally impressed by Zazen. Caycedo recognised the importance of the body in these different methods.
On his return he wrote: 'Sophrology is not trying to transplant eastern methods. It is trying to adapt the contents of these processes, with lot of respect for the disciplines. I propose the name 'Dynamic Relaxation' to describe a method of Sophrology training that is practiced in groups with therapeutic and preventative aims and objectives. This training does not require any particular belief system.'
Caycedo removed the philosophical or religious characteristics of the methods he had learned and combined the aspects that he found to have a healing effect with the western knowledge of therapy that he had accumulated. Following his research and experiences with the eastern masters, he developed the first three levels of Dynamic Relaxation or Caycedian Dynamic Relaxation (CDR) which were adapted for western culture.
The first level (CDR 1) is inspired by Indian Yoga. The Second (CDR 2) is inspired by Tibetan Yoga, and the third (CDR 3) by Zazen.
Barcelona (1968-1982)Edit
Caycedo gained his Professorship at the School of Psychiatry at the University of Barcelona in the faculty of medicine. During this period, Caycedo did extensive experimentation and research on his principle of Dynamic Relaxation. Sophrology must prove reliable.
Caycedo began holding the first Sophrology sessions in 1974. Certain people reproached Caycedo for no longer limiting sophrology to the therapeutic field and to official therapists.
Important Events:
- 1970 first World Congress of Sophrology in Barcelona with 1400 specialists and 42 countries represented. The future king of Spain, Juan Carlos is the president of honour along with the future queen, Sofia.
- 1973 European Symposium in Lausanne
- 1973 European Symposium in Brussels
- The first collective sophrology training takes place in Paris
- 1975 second World Congress of Sophrology in Barcelona
- 1977 first Pan-American Symposium of Sophrology in Recife (Brazil). Caycedo is nominated as professor honoris causa of the University of Pernambouc. Declaration of the Values of Mankind (the Declaration of Recife).
Colombia (1982-1988)Edit
Caycedo created social sophrology in Bogotá in order to aid developing countries. The third World Congress of Sophrology was held in Bogotá in August 1982. The fourth level of Dynamic Relaxation (CDR 4) was created around this time. It was presented in 1985 at the Salpetrière hospital in the Charcot amphitheatre.
Andorra (1988-present)Edit
Professor Caycedo continues to develop and improve the sophrology method. In 1989 he created the new level of Master of Caycedian Sophrology and in 1992 he founded the International University of Caycedian Sophrology (Sophrocay International).
Sophrology is well-established in France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and South America. In 2005 a sophrology centre was set up in Geneva and London to bring sophrology to the English-speaking world.
