In her own words: living with chronic fatigue syndrome
Alicia is a 54-year-old mother of two who lives in New York. Having lived with crippling chronic fatigue syndrome for 10 years, she has learned how to get through each day—although some are much harder than others.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
In 1990, I was all set to accept a new position in research, hoping it would help to finance my children's college education. Instead, I ended up totally disabled.
The onset of my troubles was violent. A virus attacked my bronchial area and it was swollen shut, making it extremely difficult to breathe. I was under the care of a lung specialist for six weeks. I had a bronchioscopy, and they looked for tumors. The virus left me with asthma, a condition that I still have today. Eventually my breathing got better, but I felt that the life was drained out of me.
Aside from tremendous fatigue, I have blurred vision, dizziness, pain (in my connective tissue, not my joints)—mostly in my breast bone and hips. I experienced pressure headaches, orthostatic intolerance (I can't bend over or I feel like I'm going to pass out), low blood volume, irritable bowel syndrome, and loss of short-term memory. I often know what I want to say but I can't think of the word. I have other symptoms too.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
On the day that I was scheduled to start my new job, I literally couldn't get my head off of the pillow in the morning. I went to a medical clinic and saw a young female doctor who said "I think you're depressed." She didn't even know me! But shortly thereafter, depression was ruled out.
Six months lapsed before I had a definitive diagnosis. I went through all kinds of tests. They checked me for cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), all types of ominous illnesses—even AIDS. And all I got back were negative results from all the tests. Then my cousin went to Toronto and found a magazine article on chronic fatigue syndrome and told me about it. I met all the criteria, but it was a very subjective diagnosis.
My husband went with me to my doctor and told him "This woman is very, very ill," and the doctor seemed more willing to listen to me after hearing my husband's testimony. Then I had to deal with trying to get disability. The organization I was dealing with said to me "Your word means nothing. We'll only listen to a doctor."
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
Well, I wanted to know the truth and find a way to get through it. Being an extremely active person, it was very hard for me to make adjustments. I went through a grieving process. Initially, there was denial—I kept telling myself "This isn't going to stop me." But when you do that, you fall on your face. I went through a period of anger. Then finally acceptance—that's when you start to live more successfully, but as a disabled person. It's very painful. You want to be a productive person, but it's hard.
One of the hardest things for me emotionally is that I don't think that most doctors—or health care institutions know the truth about this disease. Another difficult thing is that I've lost friends because of this disease. They don't understand. They say to me "Well, I get tired too, but..." My prayer is that one day people will really understand this illness.
How do you manage your disease?
Mostly by listening to my body. When I am feeling ill or tired, I have to take it easy. The disease will only let you do so much before it knocks you out.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to CFS?
I have to watch overexertion—even something like walking into a grocery store and trying to do the isles. It goes beyond what my energy will allow. I'm also like a barometer. I have an especially hard time when it's cold outside, when it's rainy or humid. But the disease runs me, really. I can't do a lot to worsen my condition because it just exhausts me and prevents me from overdoing. Whatever the disease chooses to do to you, it can run your life. It's very frustrating. You save up all your energy to go to a wedding but your body may not cooperate.
I also take vitamins. But many people with this disease are preyed upon by quacks. I feel that you need to know what's going on in your body first. I think it's dangerous to randomly treat this. Some people are so desperate that they spend a fortune on all kinds of "treatments." I believe in getting blood tests and treating aspects of the disease that need to be treated.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
Well, I'm not into organized religion really, but I do have faith in God. I believe that things will ultimately be okay. When I initially became ill, I asked the doctor for a referral to a counselor. My children were 10 and 13 at the time, and I thought we'd have a lot of adjustments. I wanted something that would help everyone in the family. But we did have a bad experience with the psychologist who made a really insensitive comment to me once about how lucky I was to have my family and that without them I'd be living alone and on welfare. I was ready to fire her after that, but she sent a very sincere letter of apology, stating that she had no right to say that. After that, we saw her as needed and she gave us some coping tools. But I'm luckiest because I have such a loving family.
Does CFS have any impact on your family?
Definitely. It puts quite a burden on the healthy spouse. If I take my daughter shopping, I need to stop and rest all the time. At most I can go to one store, but I can't walk through the whole mall. I need to save up my energy. Usually, I sit and wait for my daughter to shop. I can't go to the grocery store anymore. My family helps out. But many people with this disease who don't have families have to go to a nursing home. It's heartbreaking.
What advice would you give to anyone living with CFS?
First, go to a doctor who knows about the disease and will do the appropriate diagnosis. Unfortunately, I don't think most doctors really understand this disease. Also, listen to your body. You know when you're ill. Write down your symptoms and try to find a knowledgeable doctor.

This is an extended version of the article that appeared in the December 2012 issue of Investment Advisor.
The eurozone and its politicians continue to face many unresolved and highly important issues. This makes the path ahead rocky and volatile. But important structural improvements have already been made. If—and it's a big if—the international environment remains fairly benign, 2013 could be the year Europe moves on.
Good news has been scarce in Europe during 2012, but next year could prove a turning point. It has been a very tough year from a fiscal retrenchment perspective and the impact this has had on growth and the real economy. Despite the hurdles still ahead, a shift toward recognizing the need to promote growth bodes well for next year. What is particularly encouraging is that 2012 could represent the "peak" year for austerity in the eurozone.
Over the last two years, big fiscal adjustments have been made: The average primary budget deficit for Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Spain fell from 9.4% of GDP to 1.6% of GDP. Meanwhile, according to Deutsche Bank, the aggregate euro area fiscal deficit fell from 6.5% of GDP in 2009 to 4.2% in 2011 and should fall again to 3.2% this year.
There is now a change of tone among leaders and economists. Politicians are showing signs of a slight shift in stance toward measures that promote growth without undermining the important progress of the last two years. In a report in mid-October, Deutsche Bank estimates that in absolute terms, the fiscal stance in the region will tighten in 2013, but the pace of discretionary fiscal consolidation will slow.
The IMF has been especially vocal in its warnings against cutting too far and too fast—a distinct change from previous messages. As the same report argues, a more subtle change is occurring in that leaders are recognizing that it is more important to reduce the structural deficit than the headline deficit. This is important as the need to make long-term changes to adjust to a more sustainable economic model is as important as ever, but austerity that chokes growth is self-defeating.
The change has not just been in political rhetoric. For example, in Portugal, the troika—the IMF, the EU and the European Central Bank (ECB)— recently increased the program deficit targets to allow automatic fiscal multipliers to run more freely, letting the cyclical deficit rise and avoiding piling austerity on austerity which, while reducing the headline deficit, may do more harm than good.
This is not happening everywhere. The French budget announced in September shows that not all governments have grasped the need to find growth-enhancing structural reforms. With plans to fill two-thirds of the 30 billion euro gap through tax increases, French President Francois Hollande has reneged on his election proposal to focus on growth instead of austerity. The plan especially targets the large corporate sector, which will hinder companies in regaining confidence and creating badly needed jobs. What's more, by hitting a broad section of society, the policies risk being socially as well as economically unsustainable.
There are, therefore, exceptions. Because of a time lag, many of the austerity measures introduced this year will start to bite in 2013. But overall, 2013 could mark a turning point. An escalation in the social unrest witnessed this year across peripheral Europe is one of the key risks facing the eurozone: How much austerity populations will take before governments and their reform programs are cast aside is a big unknown. A softer position on austerity across the continent will likely be a force for social stability as well as economic growth.
Of course, the eurozone will only begin the long road to recovery next year if the international economic environment allows it. The good news is that the world's two largest economies are showing encouraging signs.
The slowdown in Chinese growth has been a significant source of market concern for much of this year. Its third-quarter growth came in at 7.4% – its slowest rate of growth since early 2009. This is likely to be the bottoming of growth. Much of the third-quarter slowdown came in the first half when there were external headwinds, and policy stimulus measures had yet to take effect. There was a significant improvement in the second half of the quarter, and September data were strong across the board. Exports, monetary aggregates, industrial production, fixed asset investment and retail sales all rebounded and beat consensus estimates. Importantly, seasonally-adjusted GDP growth ticked up to 2.2% quarter-on-quarter.
Unlike in other countries, Chinese policymakers have been reluctant to add too much stimulus for fear of re-creating the overhang of liquidity that followed the expansion in 2009. Low inflation means there is room for more substantial measures, but we expect the People's Bank of China to wait until the leadership transition is complete in November before taking more substantial action. As Chinese growth stabilizes and starts to tick up, this will be a boost to the global economy and will remove a key source of uncertainty.
The United States, meanwhile, remains the bright spot in the developed market world. The S&P 500 has seen its fourth longest rally without a 5% correction since 2002. Underpinning this is an improvement in the housing market, a key barometer of U.S. economic health, with sales and prices picking up.
The impending "fiscal cliff" is a strong reason for caution. Unless changes to current law are enacted, fiscal tightening worth around 4% of nominal GDP will occur in early January, pushing the United States back into recession. The most likely scenario is a compromise involving a fiscal consolidation worth between 1% and 1.5% of GDP, which would dampen growth but is unlikely to push the economy back into recession. However, this will require both compromise and haste from politicians. Depending on the outcome of the election (which at the time of writing is unknown), the highly partisan nature of U.S. politics will not help. The lack of visibility is already affecting sentiment, with 45% of businesses in one poll saying fiscal uncertainty is preventing hiring.
However, if the global economy can successfully move beyond the two big uncertainties of the fiscal cliff and the slowdown in Chinese growth, this will provide a decent backdrop for progress in Europe.
This is not to say 2013 will be an easy year: There are many difficult obstacles, and eurozone growth will struggle to reach positive numbers. European leaders are still too far apart on the important issues facing the eurozone to move on meaningfully. For this reason, the obstacles ahead are as much political as they are economic. This was in evidence at the October European summit where politicians—lacking imminent market pressures—achieved little of great substance.
The main achievement was the agreement to create the framework for a banking union, in which the ECB will have authority to supervise the region's 6,000 banks, by Jan. 1, 2013. This is progress, but the details of the bank supervision are yet to be thrashed out, and Germany's support is lukewarm. What happens in Spain is crucial, too. At the time of writing, if and when Spain will ask the ECB for help—and if it does, what impact it will have on how markets view Italy—are important questions. Greece is making more progress in its agreement with its creditors than many may have expected at this stage, but the possibility of a Greek exit must still be considered.
But despite all the challenges, if Europe can achieve the balance of creating meaningful structural reform without stifling growth in the short term, this will be vital progress. It is a tricky task requiring flexibility and fine judgement, but at least we may be witnessing a move in the right direction.

As the presidential elections draw near, the nation's debt woes are coming into clearer focus—and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch Global Research warns that the "fiscal cliff" is bigger than most market observers imagine.
The fiscal cliff, off which U.S. taxpayers may have to leap on Jan. 1, 2013, if the Bush tax cuts expire, is seen as being the inevitable consequence of Washington lawmakers' infighting unless President Obama and Congress honestly confront this deadline in an election year.
Further, according to BofA-Merrill's analyst team at a midyear press conference on Wednesday in New York, any positive budgetary effect of the tax increases would be overshadowed by the growing burden of the U.S. debt ceiling as spending and hiring decisions are put on hold and the election heightens partisanship.
U.S. GDP Could See 4.5% Shock
But if lawmakers don't act, U.S. GDP could see a 4.5% shock, warned Senior U.S. Economist Michelle Meyer.
"In the second half of 2012, the headlines will really be focused on the debt ceiling and the Bush tax cuts," Meyer said. "We think the economy is slowing faster than most forecasts on the Street."
BofA-Merrill's view is for real GDP growth of 1.9% in 2012 versus consensus expectations for 2.1%, and for only 1.4% real GDP growth in 2013 versus the consensus of 2.4%.
In particular, Meyer pointed to battleground areas of contention including $180 billion in Bush tax cuts, a $120 billion payroll tax cut, debt ceiling deadlines of $110 billion and $40 billion, another $40 billion in extended unemployment insurance and $20 billion in taxes for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that the Supreme Court upheld Thursday.
However, Meyer acknowledged signs of a slow recovery in the housing market, which should add 0.2% to GDP this year, while her colleague Priya Misra, head of U.S. rates strategy, said inflation is not a concern because the U.S. Treasury market is on a continued flattening trend. Misra, too, warned that the fiscal cliff at year-end could precipitate a yield curve steepener if all measures are postponed.
Another positive view came from Global Credit Strategist Hans Mikkelsen, who said that he has seen "significant and impressive" improvement in all the U.S. banks, which have been able to withstand harsh stress-test scenarios and are now decoupling from problematic European banks. "We've seen a decrease in the big systemic risks from the European into U.S. markets and a significant decline in credit risk," Mikkelsen said.
Investors' Best Bet: High-Yield Bonds, Dividend Stocks
So what's an investor to do? Invest in high-yield bonds and dividend-yielding stocks, says the BofA-Merrill team, which is overweight high-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, including financial sector names that are especially sensitive to the housing market.
As for stocks, BofA-Merrill's year-end target for the S&P 500 index is 1450, compared with its open on Friday at 1330. The target is principally based on the BofA-Merrill research team's earnings forecast, but it also has incorporated technicals and sentiment.
"Our target for the S&P 500 sounds pretty high at this point," conceded Savita Subramanian, head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy, "but what the last few years have taught us is that fundamentals sometimes take a back seat to other factors such as sentiment and technicals."

After waiting for a person to come down the lift, so I might obtain up, that was plainly her partner or something since I satisfied him once again on the means out, I obtained to her space. I'm not averse to lines on a woman's face, however when you've tailored on your own up for a young female that stated she's in her very early twenties, just to find that she's a lot more most likely in her very early forties, you have factor to be a little pissed do not you?
She really did not show up to recognize for some factor. It had not been looking excellent from the beginning actually, yet you individuals recognize what it's like when you're sexy and also merely have to go via with it. There was a component of me that assumed whatever would certainly be terrific when we fulfilled.
I would certainly have really thought it was a various escort entirely were it except her tattoos. I state this since she really did not appear to have any kind of recollection of what we had actually talked about and also concurred through messages prior to we satisfied. She claimed to me.
The escort I would certainly picked to publication from Adultwork was really wonderful in her messages. She looked excellent in her photos, had a charming body, with good huge boobs. I do so enjoy busty escorts whenever I can gt them, and also I do not much treatment whether those boobs are improved or not, as long as they look and also really feel super-nice!
I understand this due to the fact that concerning a week later on I finished up with a car parking penalty via my letter box! I was there for much less than a hr in the end, yet it transforms out that if you're not a visitor, primarily you're screwed! Allow this be an alerting to all my other punters that are possibly believing regarding resort fulfills.
I need to have recognized this was all going to go terribly actually. What I would certainly take away from this, is that you must be extremely skeptical of independent escorts in London, or anywhere else in the UK for that issue; especially those that select not to reveal their face. When I'm in the city I constantly publication from a London escort company I can rely on, as well as one that constantly shows deals with!

"AMUZ is an international music centre, hosting cultural, educational and research activities. The concert programme of AMUZ is inspired by the criteria of Historically Informed Performance (HIP): on the basis of a historically valid approach, music from all periods, styles and cultures is presented to a broad public in a creative, re-invigorating and accessible way. Often music also engages in a dialogue with the other arts. For the achievement of this broad aim AMUZ can take advantage of a baroque monument – the former church of St Augustine – a felicitous environment adapted with advanced technology so as to offer a modern concert hall that provides unsurpassed acoustics to boot. Furthermore, AMUZ integrates other historical buildings of the city of Antwerp as venues, more specifically during the events organized in the framework of the Flanders Festival-Antwerp."

"The Toronto Continuo Collective is an educational and performing group dedicated to exploring the art of Baroque accompaniment. The ToCC was launched in the fall of 2005 by Lucas Harris and Borys Medicky, who spent time with the New York Continuo Collective and recognized the need for a similar group in Toronto.
In the ToCC, we share ideas about the performance of basso continuo and its role in various genres of Baroque music, with particular focus on church, chamber, and theatre music of the seventeenth century. Topics discussed include figured bass harmony, supporting text inflection and delivery, ornamentation, rhetoric, word painting, and improvisation. We accompany different guest soloists from week to week, and welcome guest presenters to provide special workshops and coaching sessions. We perform at least two programs per year, and have given concerts of seicento repertoire in several Toronto venues: Fort York National Historic Site, Church of the Holy Trinity, Royal St. George's Chapel, The University of Toronto Faculty of Music (during the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute), Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, and at the CanAsian Dance Festival.

There can be no doubt: The heart of baroque music beats in Central Germany! This is true not only regarding the past but certainly also for the present with its vibrant music life in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
The singularity of the Central Germany music scene shows in its remarkable, unrivaled concentration and intensity. In the 17th and 18th centuries the musical hallmark of this region was defined by transfer and transformation, musical styles from across Europe being absorbed and integrated to form a unique regional blend.
What began as a fascinating creative process, today has become an essential aspect of our current music making and scholarly interest and thus also of the MBM's activities – both on the federal level and on the European platform.
Our joint enthusiasm for the musical and cultural history of Central Germany, the broad interest in reviving this unique treasure of baroque music for our modern aesthetic sensitivities so we can experience it as our own "aesthetic present" – this is where the MBM draws its motivation for the artistic and scholarly endeavors it undertakes, fosters and supports.
These are the goals the MBM pursues with its numerous activities that facilitate a great diversity of initiatives in the arts and in scholarship, hosting its own projects, concerts and music festivals.

As we reported last week, the headline finding from Schwab Advisor Services' first Women and Financial Independence Study is that high-net-worth women are primarily interested in advisors delivering good investment performance.
But Bernie Clark, who heads SAS, said in an interview Monday that the core message to advisors from the study of women with more than $1.3 million in investable assets is that "women are being underserved" by advisors, particularly considering that they represent "37% of the affluency" in the U.S., controlling $14 trillion in wealth now, which could rise to "more like $30 trillion over the next 30 years."
Clark says women are saying "don't treat us differently, but we are an important class of investors, and we have needs." Some of those needs are the same as men's, he notes. But even when it comes to investing, for women "it's not a matter of winning" the investment game, but "assuring they'll have the income" to meet their needs. "They want to be known by their advisor," and regardless of their advisor's gender, they want the advisor to "understand their goals."
Clark said the survey fits into Schwab's themes of identifying the opportunities (and threats) that exist now and in the future for its RIA clients, including how to serve the next generation of investors and dealing with the intergenerational wealth transfer from aging baby boomers.
Clark admitted there was "work to be done" in increasing the number of female advisors in an industry that has been dominated by white men.
What's Schwab's role in bringing more women into the industry and in attracting more young people to the RIA business model? Clark said Schwab is supporting many organizations' women's initiatives inside and outside the firm, including organizations to survey the role of women in the industry and creating awareness of the issues.
"We're starting with the universities," he says, notably Texas Tech University and the University of California at Irvine, encouraging students in those schools to consider the RIA model once they graduate. "It's hard for graduates to see RIAs" as a viable option for employment, while it's relatively easy for them to see the large firms like the wirehouses who are more active in recruiting college graduates.
He also mentioned Schwab's "RIA Stands for You" program; some of that program's education efforts for investors will also assist RIA firms with recruitment, he says, and in encouraging those graduates who do "land in a big wirehouse to get experience, to then hang out their own shingles" with an RIA firm. A pet project of his, Clark says, is exploring whether Schwab could launch a training program for prospective advisors.
Beyond the issue of women, he says he sees many "trends mixing," between women, younger investors and the boomers' wealth transfer. "Demographics are important" to advisors' maintaining success and "winning business in the future," he says, but so is geography. As advisors' client base retires, becoming more "geographically diverse" as many of those retired clients move their primary residences, the argument strengthens for advisors to "maintain a Skype model along with an in-person model" of communicating with clients.
By the very "nature of independence," he said, advisors need to add capabilities in social media in addition to "maintaining their face-to-face services."
Looking at Schwab's recent benchmarking studies, Clark said advisors are "optimistic about the markets but cautious about achieving their clients' goals, but noted that clients themselves have plenty of confidence in their advisors.
"The last couple of years have been a real bonding experience" for RIAs and their clients, he said, which is part of why there's been double-digit growth of clients and assets among RIAs but similar-sized losses among wirehouses. While "wirehouses are not moving forward," he said, concentrating more on "acquisition of assets" rather than worrying about the assets and clients they're logging, they're also "not going away."
The wirehouses' continued strengths can particularly be seen in their lobbying efforts in Washington. "Why are independent broker-dealers and the wirehouses lobbying about who should regulate RIAs?" he asked, concluding that "they're trying to interrupt the flow of advisors and clients to independence."
While recalling that it's been "700-plus days since Dodd-Frank was signed," he also suggested that in this pesidential election year "not much more will happen" in terms of new regulation, but worries that all the uncertainty on investing and taxation issues may be reflected in the markets.
"It's all about confidence," he said. Regardless of what regulatory and compliance changes are or aren't made, Schwab will remain "aggressively active," he vowed, in advocating for RIAs in Washington.
