in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:
SECTION 1. As used in this act, the following words shall, have the following meanings unless the context requires otherwise:-
"Corporation", Brockton 21st Century Corporation, established in section three.
"Financial institution", banking corporation or institution, trust company, savings bank, cooperative bank, savings or loan association, insurance company or related corporation partnership, foundation or other institution engaged primarily in lending or investing funds.
"Incorporators", Winthrop Farwell, David Curtis, John K. Holmgren, Gerald J. Kelleher, George W. Baldwin, and James W. Burke.
SECTION 2. It is hereby declared that unused, underused or underdeveloped areas exist in parts of the city of Brockton including, but not limited to, the downtown business district, Campello business district and Montello business district; that each such area constitutes a serious and growing menace, injurious and inimical to the safety, health, morals and welfare of the residents of said city; that each such area constitutes an economic liability, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of said city and retards the economic well-being of the commonwealth; that each such area has decreased the value of private investments and threatens the sources of public revenue; that redevelopment of each such area in accordance with an economic development plan for the elimination of such substandard conditions and prevention of their recurrence is necessary to retain existing commercial enterprises, to attract new commercial development and to promote the sound economic growth of said city; that the existence of said unused, underused or underdeveloped areas renders persons unwilling to do business in said city; that the menace of such unused, underused or underdeveloped areas is beyond remedy and control solely by regulatory process in the exercise of the police power and cannot be dealt with effectively by the ordinary operation of private enterprise without the aids herein provided including, but not limited to preventing recurrence of such conditions in each such area, improving sites for commercial uses and disposing of property for redevelopment incidental to the foregoing; that the exercise of powers by the corporation and any assistance that may be given by said city or other public body in connection therewith are public uses and purposes for which public money may be expended; and that the acquisition, planning, clearance, development, rehabilitation or rebuilding of such unused, underused and underdeveloped areas for commercial purposes are public benefits for which private property may be regulated by wholesome and reasonable order, law and direction and for which public funds may be expended for the welfare of said city and the commonwealth.
It is hereby further found and declared that there exists in said city of Brockton a condition of underemployment which causes hardship to many individuals and families, wastes vital human resources, increases the public assistance burdens, impairs the security of family life, impedes the economic and physical development of said city and adversely affects the welfare and prosperity of the people; underemployment has been caused in substantial part by commercial companies moving from said city, that many existing commercial facilities within said city are obsolete and inefficient; that such facilities are underutilized or vacated, thereby creating additional underemployment; that such obsolescence and abandonment of existing facilities are causing serious injury to the economy of said city; that the commercial sector of the economy provides one of the best opportunities for jobs at higher wages for the inhabitants of said city; that new commercial sites are required to attract and house new commercial development and to retain existing commercial operations in need of expansion space; that the unaided efforts of private industry have not provided and cannot provide the necessary commercial sites within the urban environment due to the problems encountered in the assembly of suitable building sites, the provision of adequate public services, the unavailability of private capital for development and the inability of private enterprise alone to plan, finance and coordinate commercial development projects.

Said board shall consist of up to fifteen members, one of whom shall be the mayor of the city of Brockton, one of whom shall be the chief financial officer of said city of Brockton, one of whom shall be the Brockton planning director and one of whom shall be a member of the city council, elected annually by that body, at the first meeting in January.

Said board of directors shall be empowered to retain an executive director and such other support staff as may be necessary.
Directors and officers shall not be responsible for losses unless the same shall have been occasioned by the willful misconduct of such directors and officers.
SECTION 12.

The state secretary shall make copies of such reports available to the commissioner of insurance and to the commissioner of banks and said corporation shall also furnish such other information as may, from time to time, be required by the state secretary.
SECTION 14.

SECTION 17.

Robot Parties Actually Sound Kind Of Fun
This is a rap about a robot party that Shredder threw at the Technodrome. It sounds pretty epic, and I wish I could have been there. Also, that banjo-toting pedobear from Chuck-E-Cheese's touched my butt when I was a kid. Just sayin'.

New York's music scene plays a major role in summer activities. Throughout the months, hundreds of concerts featuring major performers are offered for free. Visit the links below for information about some of the most popular summer series.
- River to River Festival
Following September 11, 2001, River to River Festival was founded with the intention of using the arts to revitalize Lower Manhattan. The festival takes place each year from June through September. Pace's Schimmel Center hosts the River to River Festival's Summer Stars series, which features some of the most talented young classical musicians today. Performances are free, but tickets are required.
- NY International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC)
The largest multi-arts festival in North America also holds a spot at the Schimmel Center. Held in August, this festival is home to more than 1,300 performances by emerging talents. In addition to FringeNYC, there is also FringeU (covering a wide range of theatrical issues), FringeJR (for families), FringeHIGH (for young adults), and several other popular offshoots.
- Central Park Summerstage
Frequent summer concerts are held outdoors at Central Park's great Rumsey Playfield bringing outstanding and diverse talent to the stage. From opera singers to hip hop dancers to Israeli reggae singers, to contemporary artists like Wyclef Jean and Yael Naim to readings by authors like Junot Diaz, Summerstage is guaranteed to be a good time. Most of these shows are free.
Good Morning America Summer Concerts
On Fridays beginning in May, get up bright and early to be a part of ABC's Good Morning America's audience at free performances in Bryant Park. Last year's concerts included Counting Crows, Usher, Maroon 5, and the cast of former Broadway show "Rent."

It's T-Shirt Time!!!
Well they are finally here! The company that made them screwed up on the first batch making the print too small and placed in the wrong area. These are Gildan shirts with a red screen printed ink, so they should last longer than a press shirt.
These shirts are limited edition, only 24 were printed. [...]

Drug Safety: It definitely depends on your friend group. Low-key, it may or not be very easy to buy alcohol around here. You didn't hear it from me.
Transportation: From hometown to school? All the necessary transportation is in the city. You'll either have to take a taxi or a forty-minute train ride to the city itself, then take the subway and/or bus to get to your airport/greyhound/train station. It can be a bitch and a half while carrying luggage. From where you live in New York to school? Most people live on campus so that shouldn't be a probably. There's some decent off-campus facilities in Yonkers, too.
Diversity: People always complain that there are too many white people on campus. While they're certainly the majority, I have plenty of friends of color. Coming from a VERY diverse high school in Chicago, diversity is what I'm drawn to. I think the diversity problem might be for white people who are naturally drawn to each other and therefore don't make any diverse friends.
Off-Campus Dining: The off campus dining is okay but the walking distance for some places is far and/or the places that are close to eat are moderately expensive. Coffee places are great though
Diversity: The school is very opento LGBT and ethnic races. However, when it comes to being a heterosexual or white the school is not very accepting.
Health & Safety: The health care center is okay the open hours are not convenient at times and the appointment system is better than last year but could use improvement through a most open schedule.
Off-Campus Housing: The off campus housing is not affordable for students and if it is affordable it is not in the best parts of an area or it is not close to campus.
Diversity: Sarah Lawrence has a reputation that most of its students are female and most people (of any gender) are queer. There is definitely a lot more acceptance of non-heterosexual people at our school than in most of the world, but I've actually found that most hookups that happen at parties and other events are between straight people and it doesn't feel like our campus is particularly lacking in the male department. Most people are very sexually fluid. If you are queer or are interested in exploring your sexuality and you are not looking for a serious relationship, Sarah Lawrence can probably provide you with what you're looking for.
Off-Campus Housing: I live on campus so I don't know the details. The vast majority of students live on campus and there are plenty of great living options for upperclassmen. As a freshman you will probably live in a typical dorm-style situation, but there are some really nice houses with full kitchens and your own space so that it doesn't really feel like a college campus.
Off-Campus Dining: If you consider "off-campus" to be New York City, aka a 30 minute train ride away, then you obviously have an infinite amount of options. A lot of people order take-out or go into Bronxville and Yonkers if they want something closer to campus though and there are some really nice options, with a few malls close by and downtown Bronxville has a nice organic market and a few good restaurants.
Transportation: The most you'll have to walk on campus is about 15 minutes if you're walking from the Science Center to Hill House (the two most opposite ends of campus). But when it's snowing or you have another reason that you don't want to walk that far, you can call the shuttle starting in the evening and they provide free service to & from anywhere on campus. There's also a free shuttle that picks people up and takes them to the Bronxville train station for every train after around 5 PM. It's free, reliable and really convenient.
Diversity: SLC's full of diverse people. Everyone's accepting!
Transportation: So many options plus you can walk to most places
Campus Strictness: Not very strict but there are rules
Nightlife: Not many bars, most people just have fun on campus
Drug Safety: No peer pressure at all!
Local Atmosphere: Closest school is probably NYU, not much interaction
Off-Campus Dining: Vert convient. SLC is between two town to eat at!
Facilities: Dorms need to be updated wholly to not fall apart and should be taken beyond the point of keeping them updated at the bare minimum. The school is growing in size of its student body but not its size as a location/institution. This must change very soon if the classes are going to continue to grow. The need for better dining is BEYOND HUGE.
Facilities: Updates are needed but continuously ignored. Dorms see the worst of this but the gym is pretty awful as well.
Drug Safety: Lots of random drugs are all around Sarah Lawrence, although we stick to weed, coke, and molly/ecstasy mostly.
Health & Safety: Security cameras need to be added around campus and an increase of thefts and sexual assaults has started, which is alarming.
Parking: Parking on campus is only available next to hill house, the dorm that is furthest from main campus. If you live on main campus and have a car, you're not able to park your car anywhere closer than hill house, which is a 10-15 minute walk away or a 5 minute shuttle ride away; although shuttles are available in odd increments as they run on a loop, making it depend on students' ride needs exactly.
Computers: there is only 2 computer labs on campus
Health & Safety: saftey tends to not be a concern for students on campus

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jess Unger
SLC is a magnet for students who want, above all other things, to be well-educated. Careers, money, and business are seen as secondary in comparison to the joy of learning. The one-of-a-kind curriculum gives you the freedom to choose what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. Many students come to Sarah Lawrence unsure of their futures, and many graduate feeling no less disoriented. Yet, it's agreed that the SLC program, with its distinctive philosophy of academics, is a life-changing experience. After all, being a student here equals spending four years immersed in a community of intellectual young people and world-renowned professors.
What students report as the biggest setback is the anemic social scene. Nightlife is nearly nonexistent. Traditionally, SLC students are introspective, private, and socially-awkward people. Loners are abundant, as are small, insular cliques. The severe lack of ethnic or political diversity means that there may be too many like-minded people for the College's own good. Further complicating the situation is the often unfriendly off-campus neighborhood, which causes many students to feel trapped on campus. And it's hard to dismiss the staggeringly high tuition prices. Still, the retention rate is high; students seem determined to manage with the College's weaknesses for the vast benefit of its unique strengths.

Fire Down Below (1997)
directed by
Felix Enriquez Alcala
Steven Seagal, Marg Helgenberger, Harry Dean Stanton, Stephen Lang, Kris Kristofferson
Martial arts star Steven Seagal stars in this action drama as Jack Taggart, an undercover agent working for the Environmental Protection Agency. When an EPA representative is murdered in a small Appalachian community, Taggart is sent in -- posing as a handyman working with a Christian relief agency -- to find out what happened. Taggart discovers that Orin Hanner (Kris Kristofferson), a powerful local businessman, has been illegally dumping toxic waste which has been leading to serious health problems among children in the area; it seems that the murdered agent knew too much and was killed to keep him quiet, a scenario the unscrupulous Hanner would be all too willing to repeat. Taggart becomes involved with Sarah Kellogg (Marg Helgenberger), a woman whose father also died under circumstances that trace back to Hanner. Harry Dean Stanton co-stars as Cotton, former member of The Band Levon Helm plays a preacher, and country music stars Travis Tritt and Randy Travis appear as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Hide synopsis

Pure, Unadulterated Sadness: iPad Mirror Shot

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Covington & Burling has been selected by The American Lawyer as one of the nation's top six litigation departments. A profile of the firm's litigation practice is featured in the January 2014 issue of the magazine.

In naming Covington a finalist for its biennial "Litigation Department of the Year" award, The American Lawyer writes: "In the six years since Covington & Burling last appeared as a finalist in this contest, its litigation group has grown a whopping 40 percent. Covington quadrupled its intellectual property team, beefed up white-collar, product liability and antitrust, and dived into arbitration."
"Covington has made clients happy on summary judgment, at trial, and everywhere in between," the article continues, citing the firm's representations of GlaxoSmithKline, Occidental Petroleum Corp., and IndyMac Bancorp Inc. CEO Michael Perry. The article includes praise the editorial team received from Covington clients. "'I'm a pretty experienced legal consumer, and their service level was astounding,'' PD Villarreal, senior vice president for global litigation at GSK told The American Lawyer. "'They were there 24/7 for us.'"
Timothy Hester, chair of the firm's management committee, commented, "We strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients, who are at the center of everything we do. Our clients made this recognition possible by placing their faith in our abilities."
John Hall, chair of the firm's litigation practice, added, "At Covington, we combine tough, resourceful litigators with government insight and regulatory expertise. In an era when so many high-stakes disputes - in the U.S. and internationally - are tied to government action, that strategy has proven itself to be very effective. We are proud to be recognized publicly for the strength of our litigation practice."
The American Lawyer is the legal industry's leading monthly magazine.
Covington & Burling LLP, an international law firm, provides corporate, litigation, and regulatory expertise to enable clients to achieve their goals. Founded in 1919, the firm has more than 800 lawyers and offices in Beijing, Brussels, London, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, and Washington, DC.

Fashion Diary: The anti-Rachel Zoe
Gossip, first impressions, trends in-the-making, celebrities and style setters. A regular feature by fashion critic Booth Moore.
Super-stylist Jen Rade is the anti-Rachel Zoe, and the right stylist for right now. We had breakfast together last week, and I was struck by how grounded she is considering the world she works in. "I'm not a label whore," says Rade, whose star client is Angelina Jolie. She's dressed her in everything from Hermes to Max Azria over the years, but the outfits always look comfortable and no-nonsense. "People are like, 'It's so great that you pull from Max Azria,'" she says. "But why wouldn't I? I treat every dollar like it's my own."
Rade, who lives in the Valley, calls herself a jeans (J. Brand) and T-shirts (Target) kind of girl. And when she's not in flats, she's in Cole Haan pumps with Nike Air technology. "I need comfort," she says. The most expensive thing she's bought for herself lately is a $1,100 Gucci dress, but she's thinking about returning it because she saw something similar at H&M.

The house in the second photo looks like the one they used to film the Val Kilmer movie "real genius" (1985) they used a laser pointed at the house, which was filled with un-popped popcorn, until..the laser hits it..
Mitch (Val Kilmer) is one of the youngest students ever accepted to a university known for its programs for geniuses. He's partnered up with his roommate, science club legend Chris Knight, on a project to develop a high-powered laser. Together with their hyper-kinetic friends, they employ their intellects in the pursuit of bigger blasts, practical jokes, and a deeper understanding of what real genius is. When their final, functional laser is stolen by their teacher for a military weapon, they decide to get even.+2 -

My family and I are getting ready for a week-long excursion over spring break.
We're making all of the typical preparations: finding a place for the dog, figuring out what to pack, deciding when to leave for the airport—but what we haven't thought much about protection for our house during our long absence.
Based on past experience, bad things can and do happen when you're gone (our rec room flooded last year), so for those of you planning a getaway, these five gadgets are worth a look.
They may not prevent a water leak or a power outage, but at least you'll be able to react immediately to the problem, even when you're miles away from home.

Bjango are working on it
Regarding the comment implying that Bjango are unwilling to fix this, I understand your frustration, and there are a lot of companies that have really poor customer service, don't fix bugs, and don't respond to emails.
Bjango are working on it
Thank you.
Bjango are working on it
I've twice reported a similar iStat 3 issue whereby the WindowServer process would gradually start eating up CPU cycles within a day after booting and I've had not a single response. The little bug report form doesn't look like it would be able to handle pasting in my entire system.log so I was hoping someone at Bjango might actually request that or any other pertinent files via email. Considering that I gladly paid for the functionality of this app and that it has been pretty much useless since, I would appreciate at least being given the opportunity to help the developers nail down the issue that's affecting my system. |

Security on the road with AxCrypt2Go
Axantum's AxCrypt is a free, open-source file encryption utility that offers strong symmetric encryption combined with compression, Windows shell integration, and other features. AxCrypt2Go is a portable version of AxCrypt. Since it's a portable tool, it doesn't offer all of the full version's integrated features. Axantum recommends using the fully installed version of AxCrypt as your daily driver and running AxCrypt2Go from your USB flash drive when you need to encrypt or decrypt files when you're away from your main system.
Once you've extracted and saved the program, you can drag it anywhere and … Read more

Ultimate Joint Support
By combining cutting-edge pharmaceutical-grade ingredients with tried-and-tested high-quality herbal extracts, new Achilles from Antaeus Labs brings you the most advanced joint-support formula on the market!
Every hero has a weakness. For many weightlifters and bodybuilders this is their joints. Tendons and ligaments bear the brunt of punishing weight-lifting sessions, commonly becoming inflamed and sore.
The connective tissue just can't keep up with the heavier and heavier weights lifted week after week.
Niggling pains become chronic injuries, often requiring a forced rest, a change of routine or the permanent dropping of some exercises altogether.
40 years of scientific research has established Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) as one of the most important endogenous painkilling and anti-inflammatory compounds.
The naturally occurring fatty acid amide palmitoylethanolamide is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). [1] PPAR-α agonists have been shown to be effective for both acute and chronic pain. [2]
PEA can modulate pain sensitivity (nociception) by regulating mast cells. [3] Mast cells release bioactive mediators like histamine (that dilates blood vessels leading to swelling, redness, and warmth [4]) and nerve growth factor (that produces inflammation and sensitization of pain-sensing neurons [5]).
Heteropterys Aphrodisiaca
Brazilian traditional medicine uses H. aphrodisiaca for, among other things, muscle and bone weakness use that has been borne out recently when a study found that H. aphrodisiaca-treated trained rats had stronger tendons that could take a bigger load and more stress than untreated trained rats. [6]
H. aphrodisiaca associated with endurance training contributed to more efficient remodeling of the extracellular matrix, resulting in more resistant tendons to support high loads from intense muscle contraction. These findings suggest that H. aphrodisiaca infusion is a potential aid to optimize tendon remodeling in athletes. [6]
The plant Xi Xian Cao (Siegesbeckia orientalis) has been used for centuries in traditional chinese medicine (TCM) for its anti-inflammatory properties. One constituent of Siegesbeckia is Kirenol which has recently been discovered to be a potent anti-inflammatory that also suppressed joint inflammation and inhibited cartilage and bone destruction in a rat model of arthritis. [7][8]
Cissus Quadrangularis
Asthisamharaka (Cissus Quadrangularis) is another herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to heal broken bones and injured ligaments and tendons. [9] Numerous studies show that Cissus is anti-osteoporotic and pro-osteogenic, and its long been a staple in the arsenal of athletes and bodybuilders with joint problems. [10][11]
There was shortening of about two weeks in the duration of bone healing. The hastening in the fracture healing was attributed to the stimulation of all cells of mesenchymal origin, namely, the fibroblasts, chondroblasts and osteoblasts, by Cissus quandrangularis. [10]
Zingiber Zerumbet
Zingiber Zerumbet is a species of ginger, the rhizome (root) of which has been used traditionally throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. [12] In addition to containing molecules such as 6-gingerol, which are very well-known anti-inflammatory modulators, some of the phytochemical constituents that make up Zingiber Zerumbet have been found to be potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. [13] Several studies have recently concluded that HDAC inhibition can reduce joint inflammation and protect cartilage. [14][15][16]
In conclusion, inhibition of HDAC prevents joint inflammation and cartilage and bone destruction in experimental arthritis. [14]
HDAC inhibitors may therefore be novel chondroprotective therapeutic agents in arthritis by virtue of their ability to inhibit the expression of destructive metalloproteinases by chondrocytes. [15]

while Achilles is in transit, i took couple days off to rest up - the calm before the storm.
back at it today, did some leg work: atg BB squats, DB jump squats, BB rdl's, and BB calf raises @ 3 toe positions).
i have been using the Freak Workout designed by world-renowned trainer Jon Doyle for the past couple months..it's a fairly high-frequency program, training 5 and 6 days a week thruout. almost into month 3 (where the plan changes again), but i don't know how much longer i'll follow the protocol before i veer off on my own design again....
the goal this off-season is to add some quality muscle while remaining lean, and currently i'm after some strength too, so plenty of heavy iron is on tap to be thrown around.
i have in mind a pretty intense month of training to put Achilles to the test.

Coach AB @ BossBody.net
during phase I of the Freak Workout, my elbows starting throbbing something fierce. now, i typically have some kind of ache or pain going on at all times, but i'd never experienced any elbow issues really..
still a bit of tender forearms, and L shoulder pain and limit on ROM - these are all things lingering from tennis.
anyway, i make it sound worse than it is lol..i'm really in decent shape currently, but if i can get some analgesic benefits to these minor nags while also seeing some healing effects, this product will be worth its weight in gold.
hopefully, Achilles will arrive today!

Time to Shed Your Old Ways?
5 Strategies to Revitalize Your Portfolio
So what do I do with my money? It's a question that surely has been asked 101 times before, but it arguably has never been more difficult to tackle. Investors are blown away by record-low yields and high volatility; their confidence is shaken.
Conventional expectations for cash, bonds and stocks have all been upended. It is our view that a "diversified" portfolio comprising 60% stocks and 40% bonds no longer offers the balance and protection it once did. It's a new world of investing, and it requires new approaches to managing your investment portfolio. To be sure, now is an ideal time to question whether your old methods are still the most effective means for achieving your financial goals. It may well be time to shed your old ways and consider some of the following ideas for revitalizing your portfolio:
1. Tap Equities for Income
Traditionally, investors have looked to equities for total return and bonds for income, but that popular wisdom no longer applies. With many areas of the bond market producing yields that are near historic lows, company stocks are an increasingly appealing source of income. "US stocks offer income that rivals or outstrips that of traditional fixed income options today, while also providing capital appreciation potential not available from bonds," says Bob Shearer, Portfolio Manager of the BlackRock Equity Dividend Fund.
Mr. Shearer goes on to note that dividend-paying stocks historically have outperformed non-dividend payers over the long term with lower volatility than the broader stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Given their generally higher- quality nature (the payment and maintenance of a dividend imposes a certain discipline on company managements), dividend-paying equities can be an attractive option for risk- conscious investors. Of course, no investment is without risk. Investments in dividend-paying equities are subject to the inherent risks of investing in the stock market, and dividend payments are not guaranteed now or in the future. Still, we believe the risk/reward offered by dividend payers is a compelling proposition in the current environment.
For income seekers, the case for dividend stocks becomes even more compelling when you consider the free cash flow that companies have available today and the fact that dividend payouts still have some catching up to do. "The 30% average payout ratio of companies in the US is about half the domestic market's historic average; it's also less than that of Europe, which is around 40%. Going forward," says Mr. Shearer, "we expect to see a return to more 'normal' payout ratios in the US and, subsequently, an opportunity for investors to realize even higher levels of current income in the future."
2. Take Advantage of Tax-Advantaged Income
Not only is income difficult to find today, but it is further eroded once you factor in the effect of taxes. One antidote for this dilemma is to incorporate an allocation to tax-exempt municipal bonds in your portfolio.
Traditionally, municipal bonds offer lower yields than comparable- duration Treasuries before tax, but make up for it on an after- tax basis. In another example of those traditional expectations being upended, many municipal bonds are actually outyielding Treasuries before tax today.
"This reflects two themes that have resonated as of late," says Peter Hayes, Head of the BlackRock Municipal Bonds Group. "First, municipals continue to be priced for close to a 0% tax rate, meaning the market is not factoring in the tax advantage that an investor receives from buying municipal bonds. Second, the flight to quality that sent Treasury yields to record lows has helped propel munis to even more attractive levels on a relative basis."
Mr. Hayes does not see this relationship changing appreciably in the near future, indicating that municipal bonds are a relatively attractive source of income in the current environment. They also benefit from a history of lower default rates than corporate bonds and, recently, lower relative volatility than Treasuries.
3. Embrace Alternatives
Alternative investments were once deemed off-limits to all but the most sophisticated investors. Fortunately, this is no longer the case, as many types of alternative assets and alternative strategies are available today via mutual funds, which are accessible to investors of all stripes.
A wealth of research suggests that an allocation to alternatives— such as long/short strategies, commodities and real estate, among others—can enhance the diversification of a portfolio because they tend to have low correlations to traditional assets. This is important, as it has become painfully clear that during times of crisis, all assets tend to plummet in tandem, so the wider you cast your net, the better. Recognize, of course, that while an allocation to alternative investments may lower correlations and improve the diversification of a portfolio, they do involve substantial risk and present the potential for significant losses, including the potential for losses that exceed the principal amount invested. Some alternative investments also have experienced periods of extreme volatility and, in general, are not suitable for all investors. You and your financial professional should understand the risks involved and how these risks work together to provide appropriate diversification. While diversification cannot protect against investment loss, it has been shown to smooth the ride. Notably, so-called alternative investments generally lost less on the downside during the 2008-2009 credit crisis and, therefore, had an easier road to recovery. See chart above.
4. Make Multi-Assets Your Foundation
While the concept of diversification has proven merit, it is clearly more easily said than done. The task of building a diversified portfolio becomes all the more complicated when you are seeking to factor in more-complex and lesser-known strategies such as the alternatives mentioned here.
For that reason, a professionally managed multi-asset platform can be an ideal foundation for an investor's portfolio. Consider the BlackRock Multi-Asset Income Fund, which offers investors exposure to non-traditional income sources within the construct of a traditional mutual fund. Says Portfolio Manager Michael Fredericks: "This approach removes the burden of asset allocation from individual investors and places it squarely in the hands of professionals who have the expertise to deal with these less traditional, but very high potential, forms of investment."
Another example is the BlackRock Global Allocation Fund. With 700 positions in more than 40 countries and 30 currencies, it's a level of diversification that would be difficult, if not impossible, for an individual to achieve on his or her own.
5. Combine Active and Indexing
Broad diversification can extend beyond the types of investments you select to the types of investment vehicles as well. Many of the world's largest and most sophisticated institutions combine index strategies, which seek to track the performance of a specific market benchmark and are not altered during rising or falling markets, with active strategies that rely on the expertise of professional portfolio managers to seek returns above those offered by a market index.
Index investments, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), generally have lower management fees than actively managed funds that employ professional money managers. In seeking to combine the two, work with your financial professional to determine areas of your portfolio that may require special expertise or where you expect you can find fund managers who can deliver consistent above-market returns. In those areas, you may choose to use an active manager. In areas where highly skilled managers are not available or too inefficient, index strategies may be a better fit and a nice complement.
Succeeding in the New World
Investment success does not happen by chance, but by careful planning, execution and long-term portfolio care and maintenance. In a post-crisis world that is still finding its footing, establishing an appropriate blend of investment strategies and vehicles is critical. We encourage investors to work with their financial professionals to ensure their portfolios are spotless, and in peak form for the new world of investing.

Investment involves risks. Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. The two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest-rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to make principal and interest payments. There may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. A portion of the income may be taxable. Some investors may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable. Investments in non-investment-grade debt securities (high yield or "junk" bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of default or loss of income and principal than securities in higher rating categories.

God is so Great, So Strong there is nothing he can not do!Posted On Wednesday, December 21, 2011 by Jesse |
After trying for a year in total and having a miscarriage at 3 months along, my husband and I rejoiced to find we were again pregnant! At 15 weeks I had awfully painful cramping and rushed to my doctor, a ultrasound showed a low lying placenta, causing me pain. I soon quit my job as a cleaner and stayed at home mostly and trained horses on the side (without any more physical activity then walking, no lifting, riding etc.). This helped keep the cramping to a minimum and my 20 week ultrasound showed a lifted placenta and I had no more pain. Yeah God had healed this! I had a perfect pregnancy until around the 8th month or so. My legs begun to swell, and my blood pressure slowly started to rise. When I started my pregnancy, my BP was 108/78 as I kept myself very fit. One week before my emergency c-section it was 134/78: my doctor said this slow climb was nothing to worry about, and my leg swelling was normal, although he never looked at my legs, which weren't getting any better even after sleeping all night with my feet elevated and using compression stockings. On June 22, 2011 (39 weeks) I was up later then my husband with what I thought was heartburn, and the TUMS were not working. At 11:03pm, I got a stabbing pain in my upper right ribcage, broke out in a sweat and my heart was racing! I rushed to my husband, "Honey, I'm having a weird pain, I'll let you know if we have to go to the hospital." He went back to sleep while I paced and paced and paced, I had never felt such constant severe pain before, I felt like it would consume me if I stopped moving. Once I spoke to me dear friend who had been an ER nurse for 20 years, we rushed to the hospital. The small town where we live has equally trained staff, but does not see the rarer disorders. Once inside they quickly diagnosed me with gallbladder attack, and said that a blood test would tell for sure, but the lab wasn't open till 7am. So after checking to see if I was having contractions or not, they gave me a shot of morphine, but the pain was still so bad an hour later they had to give me another shot until I could sleep and sent me home to come back for blood work in the morning. We got home around 4:30 am. I awoke an hour later (5:30 am) in a morphine haze desperately having to pee. Upon arising, I was so dizzy I had to crawl to the bathroom, and by the time I was at the toilet I was vomiting, and with each vomit my now broken water shot out behind me. I called for my husband, held his hands, smiled and said, "Were going to have our baby!". Being a Christian and believing that God is in control greatly helps me each and every day to stay calm and positive. Helping me stand and walk my husband took me again to the hospital, where they all greeted us with smiles saying, "Oh, it was labor." My dear friend Janelle was on her way also. Hooked up again to the monitor, my blood pressure was still high, and in fact higher already; my legs were so swollen as they got me into bed, they had to lift them cause they were too heavy for me. I had no pain, was feeling no contraction, and our little baby although had a strong and rhythmic heartbeat, was not responding to my contractions. Meanwhile, my blood pressure kept climbing. I wasn't dilating anymore then 2 cms, and having no urge to push, and never felt a twinge of a cramp even. Finally by 8:30 am the resident doctor had called a nearby specialist, who said "It's Pre-eclampsia and HELLP she needs an emergency c-section now!" They immediately started IV Magnesium, preped me for c-section and after an hour drive to the high-risk hospital in the ambulance with my husband (with Janelle following), they had me knocked out in 20 mins of arrival, and they wheeled our little son Ethan out 15 mins later. My husband was taught and encouraged to change, hold, feed and burp him, while I wasn't even awake yet. Later that evening I was able to hold my little bundle, all 19inches, 6lbs 15oz of little sweet boy. I look on the brink of death in the pictures, but I'm smiling as I hold him. That night they took blood out of two places on each arm, both my hands and my feet due to my very low platelet count I was bruising horribly at each poke. By morning there was no more waiting: not only had I gained another 5 lbs of fluid, I had the leg massagers on to hopefully avoid blood clots from the surgery, but I also needed 2 units of blood until my levels were good enough for me to try and pump breastmilk, sit up, or walk. All of these things I found challenging, but within 24 hrs of my new blood, I was able to get off IV Magnesium, and walk to the NICU (as Ethan's blood sugars were low) to take our little boy my first colostrum, what a painful and yet proud walk it was, 10 doors down the hall. I was very sore by the time I returned over half an hour later, as I shuffled so slowly with my HUGE feet and legs with the fluid swishing inside them! I was hospitalized only 5 days, and I wish it had been more. Because moving to a bed with no lifter on it was excruciating for myself and my husband who waited hand and foot on me for an entire 13 days, day and night. I had NO appetite for weeks and my husband had to force me to eat a cracker at a time. He helped me go to the bathroom, change clothes, shower, get in and out of every chair, car, bed, for 2 weeks! What an amazing man! God blessed me abundantly with him! I was on traumaset (pain med) while in the hospital, and for 4 weeks at home. My incision bled through dressings, and clothes for 6 straight weeks, until my platelet count finally reached normal levels. I also got a severe kidney infection that again required IV antibiotics, at 4 weeks postpartum, and didn't get my staples out until 15days after. I still wore steri-strips on my incision for 8 weeks after. Thanks to amazing doctors, nurses, friends, family, church body, husband and God, Ethan is now 6 months tomorrow! I still have uterine cramping daily, irregular and long periods, as well as stabbing abdominal pain daily, which may have something to do with my elevated liver enzymes (an ultrasound is booked for Jan 2012) but we are all healthy, happy, and thankful for each new day! We hope and pray for more children, but have chose to wait till my body is stronger and pain free. Ethan is thriving at over 18.6 lbs and 27.5 inches long, and my husband Leighton enjoys playing with Ethan so much, it makes my heart sing watching them together. God Bless all who read this. |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

Former St. Luke's neurosurgeon resigns from Texas practice
Dr. Stefan Konasiewicz, the former Duluth neurosurgeon who was disciplined by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice in 2010, has resigned from his practice in Texas, Corpus Christi television station KRIS-TV reported Friday.By: News Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune
Dr. Stefan Konasiewicz, the former Duluth neurosurgeon who was disciplined by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice in 2010, has resigned from his practice in Texas, Corpus Christi television station KRIS-TV reported Friday.
Three days after the News Tribune published a story headlined "Some of Konasiewicz's Texas patients claim harm" and KRIS ran a similar report, the South Texas Brain and Spine Center removed the doctor's name from its building.
Two current patients also contacted the TV station's newsroom saying that Konasiewicz had abruptly resigned, Steven Romo of KRIS reported. Romo said South Texas Brain and Spine Center office manager Mary Jane Covarrubiaz confirmed Friday afternoon that Konasiewicz had resigned but did not say when his employment ended.
Covarrubiaz told Romo that Konasiewicz is relocating, but indicated that he had not yet shared his moving plans with the center.
"As soon as I know where he's going, we will announce it in the paper," Covarrubiaz said.
Calls to McKibben, Woolsey and Villarreal, the law firm representing the medical center, were not returned Friday afternoon, Romo said.
Konasiewicz and St. Luke's hospital in Duluth, where the neurosurgeon practiced from 1997 to 2008, have been sued for malpractice at least nine times. One case involved a woman who died soon after surgery by Konasiewicz, and another was a woman who was left a quadriplegic after surgery. The News Tribune has found that six of those cases were settled for at least $3.2 million.
Deputy St. Louis County Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Kundel was so concerned about the patient care provided by Konasiewicz that he wrote a letter to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice in 2008 requesting an investigation to determine "if Dr. Konasiewicz is incompetent or reckless."
In 2010, the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice disciplined Konasiewicz for what it deemed as "unprofessional and unethical conduct," and ordered him to have some of his surgeries supervised by another neurosurgeon to continue to practice in the state.
However, the Texas Medical Board has taken no such action, meaning his license is not restricted and he does not need to have his work supervised in Texas.
Corpus Christi resident Linda Cavazos is one of 11 people the News Tribune has spoken with who allege they or their loved ones experienced negative outcomes after being treated in Texas by Konasiewicz. On Friday, she expressed relief at news of the neurosurgeon's resignation.
"This is good news," she said.
Shawn Raiter, an attorney who is representing Konasiewicz in a current malpractice case, told the News Tribune on Friday he is not aware of any resignation in Texas. He said he has spoken recently with his client but doesn't know of any change in his practice in Corpus Christi. Raiter was in court in Duluth on Thursday arguing against a new trial for a Proctor-area farmer whose negligence claim against Konasiewicz was rejected by a Washington County District Court jury this summer.
Before news of Konasiewicz's resignation on Friday, an attorney representing the South Texas Brain and Spine Institute praised Konasiewicz in a statement for being a "caring and competent neurosurgeon who provides excellent care."
"There are many people alive today who live a better life because of the medical care and treatment that Dr. Konasiewicz has provided to them," attorney Roxanna Perez Stevens said in a prepared statement in August. "The South Texas Brain and Spine Center takes its patients' healthcare very seriously and continues to provide its patients with the utmost quality and highest standards in healthcare using the most effective and modern technologies available."
A St. Luke's spokeswoman did not return a call for comment on Friday.
