In this examination of the development of employers' personnel, human resources, and industrial relations policies in Britain in the twentieth century the author focuses on how employers organize the employment relationship, control work relations, and deal with trade unions and industrial relations. He develops an approach that emphasizes the interaction of external market forces, internal management structure and organization, and strategic choices, and argues that British employers' historical adherence to market-based strategies rather than internal strategies has had negative consequences for economic performance and national competitiveness relative to the United States, Germany, and Japan.Read more

Free DL: David Dallas & Forty One Present 'Purple Tinted'
Courtesy Matt B.
Producer Forty One, a long time collaborator with David Dallas (ie. Big Time, Get Out The Way, How It Is, Dream) has remixed David Dallas's latest album 'The Rose Tint.' In David Dallas's words: "With all the bad mash ups and remixes that happen nowadays on the net, it's a great thing to hear someone who's completely familiar with me re-invent these songs that I've written. Forty One killed this shit. Purple Tinted."

MP3: OG Boo Dirty f/ 2 Chainz - "How I'm Livin"
Courtesy BF Blasts.
Rising Tennessee rapper OG Boo Dirty is showing audiences and critics that there is more to southern hip-hop outside of Atlanta. The South Memphis native has garnered a groundswell of support with the release of his latest mixtape, Born a Soldier Die a Vet.
* Download How I'm Livin' ft 2 Chainz http://www.sendspace.com/file/u4jnv4 .
Despite his newfound success, OG's career in music was completely happenstance. In 2008, he went from doing "all the stuff that'll land you dead or in jail" and freestyling on the block to laying down a track in a recording studio on a whim. OG has been able to cultivate his fanbase and engage new followers all organically with direct to fan mixtapes and a diligent street team. With no promotion or radio support his YouTube views have reached over 1.5 million views in just over a year. His first track "All I Got" featuring King Azz Star generated 200,000 YouTube views upon release and solidified OG's place in Memphis' hip-hop scene.

MP3: Constant Deviants - "Sun, Moon, And Stars"
Courtesy Audible Treats.
While Constant Deviants continue to finalize their forthcoming Diamond LP, M.I., the rapping half of the Brooklyn/Baltimore-based duo, is continuing to release songs from his solo EP, Allnighter, which is available on 12" vinyl today via the Bandcamp of Constant Deviants' label, Six2Six Records. To celebrate the release, the baritone-voiced emcee is dropping a track called "Sun, Moon, and Stars," which serves has his third single off the project.
As with the rest of the Allnighter EP, the production for "Sun, Moon, and Stars" is handled by Australian producer Debonair P. The song is actually a remix of the song by the same title off of Constant Deviants' Platinum: The Mixtape, and M.I. acknowledges that the sound for this song is mainly Debonair P's doing. "This one was all Deb P, we sent him the vocals and he did his thing," explains the rapper. "It was cool to hear his take on it." The original track featured a beat with heavy chimes, but Deb P replaced those sounds with a slower, more tranquil instrumental, while still managing to deliver the same mysterious feel of the original. More importantly, the calmer sound allows M.I.'s lyrics to have a more powerful impact, as he rhymes about the struggles of living in an urban environment day in and day out.Download "Sun, Moon, And Stars" here: http://media.audibletreats.com/M.I._Of_Constant_Deviants-Sun_Moon_And_Stars.mp3 .

Courtesy Dunn Deal PR.
Atlanta emcee Jay Qwest proudly presents the the J. Barnard-directed music video for "Offiseer", the lead single from his forthcoming album Whiskey & Gun Powder, dropping April 24 on Elevated Press Records. "Offiseer" features Detroit-bred emcee Boog Brown (who released Brown Study in 2010 on Mello Music Group) and Methuzulah (picked by 50 Cent and Common as one of Youtube's Top 20 Indie Artists), all ATL residents. Also residing in Atlanta, Indiana-bred producer Illastrate produced "Offiseer", adding to a list of credits that includes J-Live and Treach from Naughty By Nature.
"The song 'Offiseer' was written from personal experience and frustration dealing with police in Atlanta" Explains Jay. "After writing it, I realized how the song became like my own version of 'Sound of da Police' by KRS-One. So with that in mind, I wanted to pay homage to that song too, mixing the words 'officer' with 'overseer' making the title 'Offiseer'. It is an unfortunate coincidence how this song relates to the recent shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, as well as so many other circumstances in this country concerning people of color and law enforcement. I think it's tragic that we can't always trust the police to protect us."

Hildene announces Lincoln essay contest winnersApril 05,2013MANCHESTER Two of the winners of Hildenes annual Lincoln essay contest were students at local schools.
While first place winner Isaac Dodson, who won $1,000, is a student at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington, second place winner Sarah Mangiacotti, who received $750, is a dual student at Maple Street School in Manchester and Stratton Mountain School. There was a tie for third place, for which both students won $500, between James Reilly, of the Maple Street School, and Rebecca Berlind, of Edmunds School.
The winners of the 2013 Hildene Lincoln essay competition were selected from 145 entries submitted by eighth-grade public, independent and home study students coming from 30 Vermont schools.
The programs goal is to promote awareness in the minds of a young generation of Americans of the contributions of this nations 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. This is an objective that fits squarely within Hildenes mission: Values into Action, said Hildene executive director Seth Bongartz.
This years subject was, Is civil discourse necessary for civil society? The essays could be no longer than 500 words and were evaluated by a panel of judges based on the content, the students understanding of the subject and his or her ability to convey that understanding using good writing practices including style, composition, factual accuracy and grammar.
A celebratory luncheon will be hosted by Hildene at the Lincoln family estate on May 19, following a tour of the Lincoln family home.
Each winner, along with their parents, teacher and principal will be invited to attend. The first, second and third place winners will read their essays at the event.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Oil talking points get recycled
Published: Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 9:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 9:27 a.m.
At first blush, it seems like it might make sense. Oil is extracted by rigs operating in the Gulf of Mexico. That oil is used to make gasoline. As companies have struggled to get new permits for Gulf drilling issued by the Obama administration in the wake of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, revolt in the Middle East has sent per-barrel prices of oil over $100 per barrel, creating hikes in gas prices here. That scenario, some argue, should force the administration to speed up the permitting process for the Gulf, saving hardworking Americans from the corresponding "pain at the pump," as the overused bit of alliteration goes.
Except, like a lot of things politicians and pundits spout, it's not really true. Arguing that reversing the lull in the Gulf could reduce the increase in prices consumers are seeing at the pump anytime soon is a gross oversimplification of global oil markets and a huge overestimation of how much U.S. oil production affects worldwide oil demand, which is what really dictates how much we pay when we fill up.
But that didn't stop Louisiana politicians and other drilling proponents from attempting to make exactly that argument this week as fighting escalates in Libya and the new Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement issued its first permit for deepwater drilling.
"This first deepwater permit is critical to restoring jobs in Louisiana, especially at a time of rising gas prices and turmoil in the Middle East," said U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette. "The United States cannot afford to continue its reliance on foreign energy when so many of our natural resources sit idly by in our own backyard."
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, were among the legislators who issued similar statements.
It's a rehash of an old talking point about expanding U.S. energy production, with the implied assumption that if we only drilled in all the available spots here at home, we'd be able to wean ourselves off foreign oil, which accounts for more than half of the nearly 18.8 million barrels of oil consumed daily in the United States, and lower prices for Americans at gas stations.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Gulf of Mexico accounted for about 29 percent of the 5.4 million barrels a day produced in the U.S. in 2009. Global oil production the same year was 84.4 million barrels a day.
Proven crude oil reserves in the U.S. were about 22.3 billion barrels in 2009, according to the U.S. Energy Administration.
Allowing for new shale discoveries and offshore finds that make reserve numbers a moving target, simple math doesn't suggest that even if we opened every available spot in the country we'd be able to sustain energy independence for any length of time.
There are legitimate arguments for opening more offshore resources to drilling and getting back to business in the Gulf, if it's proven it can be done safely and responsibly. The offshore industry is the major driver of the Houma-Thibodaux-area economy and employs thousands directly and others through myriad associated industries — welders, pipe fitters, tugboat crews and shipbuilders, to name a few. Our nation will need oil and gas for the foreseeable future, and it makes sense to produce some of it close to home, as long as we avert disasters like the Deepwater Horizon, wrought by a combination of industry corner-cutting and shamefully lax federal oversight.
But let's retire the argument that increasing domestic drilling could do much to reduce prices at the pump for Americans in time for the next election cycle.
"Almost all of the ideas — 'Oh, we have to drill offshore' or 'Oh, we have to drill in (the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge)' — will have an impact in the long term," David Pumphrey, deputy director of the energy and national security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Congressional Quarterly. "But if you're facing a short-term problem, there are very few tools that we can use to manage a market as big as the international oil market."
Many experts say any price reductions achieved by increased domestic production would be negated by surging global demand expected to be driven by the robust emerging economies of China and India. As David Sandalow, a former senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank and now an assistant secretary for policy and international affairs, told the St. Petersburg Times factcheck site in 2008, "drilling offshore to lower oil prices is like walking an extra 20 feet per day to lose weight. It's just not going to make much difference."

Almost every community is affected by a simple economic model — regional growth.
Like any model, the regional growth model begins with some hypotheses. First, let us suppose that households that are better educated and more skilled have more choices about where they choose to work and live.
Second, let us suppose that households are willing to make trade-offs between the quality of life in the place they live and their earnings.

The American Nurses Association applauded a decision Friday by the Iowa Supreme Court to affirm advanced practice nurses' authority to supervise fluroscopy.
The ANA called the decision "a victory for Iowa residents, who will benefit from having broader access and choice in obtaining important healthcare services."
An Iowa district court judge had ruled that supervision of fluoroscopy was not recognized by the medical profession as proper to be performed by a nurse, as required by Iowa nursing law.
"We believe the district court erred in second-guessing the department of public health and nursing board on the adequacy of [advanced registered nurse practitioner]training to supervise fluoroscopy," the Iowa Supreme Court wrote. "Significantly, nowhere in the voluminous record is there any report of an injury resulting from ARNP-supervised fluoroscopy, although the practice has been ongoing in parts of Iowa for many years.
"The record affirmatively shows ARNPs have been safely supervising fluoroscopy and are adequately trained to do so. Allowing ARNP supervision of fluoroscopy improves access to healthcare for rural Iowans and helps lower costs."
ANA President Karen A. Daley, RN, PhD, FAAN, said the decision recognizes Iowa advanced practice nurses' appropriate scope of practice.
"In todays high-demand healthcare environment, we need nurses and all other healthcare professionals working to the top level of their capabilities and licenses," Daley said in a news release. "The courts decision will help Iowans get the healthcare services they need in a timely, efficient and effective way."
The Iowa Nurses Association, an affiliate of the ANA, initially had intervened in the case with the Iowa Association of Nurse Anesthetists on the side of the Iowa Board of Nursing, which defended its regulation against claims of illegality by the Iowa Society of Anesthesiologists and the Iowa Medical Society.
The Board of Nursing ultimately appealed the decision by the district court that invalidated regulations providing educational requirements for advanced practice nurses to order and supervise fluoroscopy, and the INA again intervened.
The court decision is available at www.iowacourts.gov/Supreme_Court/Recent_Opinions/20130531/11-1977.pdf.

Davis will quiet noise in country
Published: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Rick Davis is very aware of the noise problems in our community. With a county 325 square miles, almost 100,000 people, along with steady growth and development, there are increasing complaints about noise that disturbs citizens' peace and quiet.
The county noise ordinance is out-of-date and virtually unenforceable. Davis will work with the County Commissioners and the District Attorney to revise the ordinance and ensure action is taken to restore the peaceful, quiet county we all want.
Davis is the only candidate for Sheriff who has both the knowledge and experience to resolve the diversity of noise problems across Henderson County.
Vote for Rick Davis for Sheriff.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...the equites, and Pompey, he was easily able to obtain for himself the provinces which he wished. The senate, as we have seen, had previously assigned him the care of the woods and the public pastures as his province, and he therefore got the tribune Vatinius to propose a bill to the people, granting to him the provinces of Cisalpine Gaul and Illyricum with three legions for five years. This was of course paRsed; and the senate added to his government the province of Transalpine Gaul, with another legion, for five years also, as they plainly saw that a bill would be proposed to the people for that purpose, if they did not grant the province themselves. It is not attributing any great foresight to Caesar to suppose, that he already saw that the struggle between the different parties at Rome must eventually be terminated by the sword. The same causes were still in operation which had led to the civil wars between Marius and Sulla, which Caesar had himself witnessed in his youth; and he must have been well aware that the aristocracy would not hesitate to call in the assistance of the sword if they should ever succeed in detaching Pompey from his interests. It was therefore of the first importance for him to obtain an army, which he might attach to himself by victories and rewards. But he was not dazzled by the wealth of Asia to obtain a command in the East, for he would then have been at too great a distance from Rome, and would gradually have lost much of his influence in the city. He therefore wisely chose the Gallic provinces, as he would thus be able to pass the winter in the north of Italy, and keep up his communication with the city, while the disturbed state of Further Gaul promised him sufficient materials for engaging in a scries of...

Jude the Obscure
by Thomas Hardy
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Ironic, Emotional
For Jude, Sue, and Arabella, the drama of their lives borders (and surpasses) soap opera drama-levels at times. These are emotional creatures, and when they let go, they really let go, as when Sue exclaims to Jude, after they decide not to get officially married after all: 'Then Jude, let us go without killing our dream!' (5.4.62). Marriage is "killing [their] dream?" Sue definitely has a flair for the dramatic.
But while the characters emotionally cry about killing dreams and the meaning of love and marriage and pain and regret, the narrator views things with a bit of ironic detachment. He's like a Victorian Jon Stewart minus the occasional potty humor. The narrator has the ability to step back and comment on the action at times. The narrator is not simply conveying information about the characters or stories. The narrator is finding spots to interject some humor and take some jabs along the way:
The purpose of the chronicler of moods and deeds does not require him to express his personal views upon the grave controversy above given. That the twain were happy—between their times of sadness—was indubitable. (5.5.1)
Here, the narrator tells us right out that it's not his job to "express his personal views" about, for example, the marriage plans (or lack thereof) of Sue and Jude. He's just there to report the facts, folks—with some jokes at their expense. While Sue and Jude maintain deep emotional investment with their plot lines, the narrator remains much more detached.

Moberly Area Community College will host the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Nov. 7-9. The public is welcome to attend the event and encouraged brush up on their spelling skills in anticipation of participation.
Karen Werner, MACC Associate Professor of Music, says the show is built to entertain.
"This hilarious musical shows six top notch spellers who have real problems," Werner explained. "Although the problems are commonplace in our culture, each character presents their problem in a way that will have you rolling on the floor!"
According to MACC Theater Director Greg Pauley, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a Tony-Award winning, Broadway musical that will relate directly to its audience.
"I think we never totally get rid of the child inside of us," Pauley said. "The show demonstrates all the emotion, both the joys and anxieties, of high-pressure situations. Our responses to these emotions all form when we're kids. We learn to be hard on ourselves, but if we're lucky, we learn to give ourselves a break every once and while."
While the show does contain adult content and may not be appropriate for all ages, Pauley says it reflects the reality of the modern society.
"We get to see elements of our own personalities in each one of these characters and that's what makes it interesting to me," Pauley explained. "There is some adult language in the play, but that mirrors our experiences as adults and helps us relate to these kids and the pressure on them to grow up. I think we ask kids to grow up a lot faster than they should, or we even had to as children just a few years ago."
Each performance begins at 7 p.m., and the audience has the option to participate in the staged spelling bee. Tickets are $5 for adults & $3 for students. MACC student entrance is free with student ID. For more information on the MACC Theater department or upcoming events at the College, call 660.263.4100.

Hi LeSean, I know this is a boring question, but do you colour the cells in Photoshop, or edit them only? Just curious.
are all the drawings really colored on photoshop? wow!
man ya'll have been doing an awesome job so far and all i can do is hope for your teams continued success!
well, u all are doing fantastic, keep it up.....
Oh man...
omg you have the job that i want! how did you get there man?
Too cold_bra
this is amazing work you done
That looks like RETAS, the program used to color the frames. Am I right?
Thanks for this. I love these behind the scenes looks into the overseas process.
Hehe. Im inspired by you to animate. This is amazing
This is an invaluable look into the professional industry's animation process man, This is awesome. Thanks for letting us in on this bruddah.
Nice man!
manual animation doesn't die.....love it
for the panel with Cream Corn in it, is that being done in Photoshop or Flash? i need to get the hang of Flash soon
Grats on the number one dude. Show is lovely as hell!
AAAAAANIIIIMAAAAATIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOHHHHNNNNN!!! sorry. looks great. good job.
From what I've been seeing from Ben Li's feed I thought the animation itself for BD was being done in Flash...
The Pilot 2 years ago, yes. The tv series main animation production is outsourced here in South korea, all hand-drawn traditional animation.
for some reason it seems that you guys are animating in photoshop.
Seeing the magic behind a show is one the greatest reasons I still want to animate.
Great Job this is exactly where I want to be! Back to drawing..
interesting. ive always wondered, do multiple artists work on a single frame at once, or donthey work seperately?
Usually, 1 animator works on whatever scenes that they are given. Sometimes, they're scenes are revised, which are represented here by the yellow sheets of paper. Most of the time, most animators have only enough time to work on their own shots, and do not have time to work on anything else. Most shows have other animators who do the in-between shots that are based on the lead animation, and serve to make the animation smoother, but they usually don't touch the lead animation.
I hope that answers your question.
I wonder if america 2d animation will ever be animated by a single guy for some parts. anyway. thank you for sharing. its good to see how animation actually works.
I wish I had cable
I wish I had cable
I gotta ask... who designs the characters, especially the women on that show? I love the style they're drawn in o_o

I have to agree with the point Dallas makes of not waiting on what a member will do for us. If everyone waits, nothing happens. I see a balance between the active member being concerned and sensitive toward the less-active member, and the less-active member being proactive himself. It takes both before much good can happen.
I hope for a little of both for your friend.]]>
My wife missed church for three weeks in a row (vacation, not feeling well). With no children and just me going to church, it was a lonely place. Sure my friends were there and that helped, but it was lonely sitting by myself in Sacrament meeting.
Your friend I'm sure has similar feelings. I wouldn't like going to a new ward all alone. I'd probably sit in the back of each class and move on out as soon as things are over. And if I did attend and did that, no one would probably notice or talk to me and that would just compound the problem. And it would reinforce my feelings.
Dallas is right, when you finally decide to do it for the right reasons no matter what, then the other things don't matter.]]>
It's sad that this ht companion missed out on building the foundation for a friendship and some much needed fellowshipping.
My dad always said that the best way to make friends with someone is to ask them about themselves. Sadly, it seems like a skill most people lack.]]>
Also, I used the same reasons as your friend to not go to church. But what no knew but myself, is that I used those reasons to cover my real reasons why I didn't go. The real reason I stopped going was I suffered from panic/anxiety and some serious sins. But as I relyed more on the Lord, my strength increased. Facing my fears is and will be the best thing I could do.
I pray for your friend. Tell him not all members are jerks.]]>

Breastfeeding Cuts Fever Risk After Vaccines
Why Breastfeeding May Reduce Risk of Fever
Exactly why breastfed infants are less likely to develop a fever after getting shots is unclear, but breast milk may contain certain anti-inflammatory substances that could potentially reduce fever risk. It may also be due to the fact that breastfed infants are less likely to stop eating when they don't feel well because breastfeeding provides a sense of comfort during illness.
"This is another great reason to breastfeed," says Laura Wilwerding, MD, a lactation consultant and a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. "Getting immunized is traumatic for infants, and anything that we can do to decrease side effects is great."
There are other benefits from breastfeeding when it comes to immunizations, she says.
"Breastfeeding during the actual shot process decreases discomfort," she says. "It may be that the sheer comfort of being with mom in such a natural way takes the infant's mind off of the pain of the shots."
What's more, "immunizations have been shown to work better in babies who are breastfed," she says.
The new findings also make intuitive sense to Barbara Holmes, a lactation specialist New York University Langone Medical Center. "Babies want to nurse more frequently, and because they are nursing more frequently, they are getting more food [than formula-fed infants], so whatever need they have to repair their body and bring down the fever is being met," she says.
"It could be that there is some anti-inflammatory protective benefit in breast milk," says Natali Aziz, MD, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif. She tells WebMD that she routinely encourages new moms to breastfeed. "There is a significant amount of data and research that maternal antibodies are transferred during breastfeeding and can be protective against viral infections."

Greetings... hope I'm posting this in the correct place... please correct me if not. Couldn't find a specific CSS WP forum.
I am seeking a little CSS help for defining a full browser width background that extends only to the top and bottom of the body div. The page display is limited to the center 960 pixels of the display window. So far, I can make one of these things work properly, but not both at the same time.
There's a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve here: http://sirius.johnsoncreative.com/lam/wp-content/uploads/comps_marked.jpg
I'd also welcome a recommendation for a theme that I could build this on and/or create a child theme for.
Many thanks!

One of the cornerstones of asset allocation is the concept of rebalancing. Done correctly, rebalancing forces you to buy certain investments when they are undervalued (cheap) and sell when they are overvalued (expensive). In effect, it makes the owner of the portfolio a value investor without the need to analyze individual companies. It can even be taken one step further with something known as tactical asset allocation.
How Rebalancing Supports Your Asset Allocation Strategy
Once you've chosen an asset allocation model portfolio, you will find that as time goes on, your asset class balance will naturally come undone. If real estate falls as bond values rise, you would end up owning far more bonds than real estate, which is not part of your overall asset allocation strategy. The experts created the rebalancing strategy as a solution designed to help you achieve your financial goals and objectives. In effect, rebalancing forces you to buy low and sell high. Here's how it would work.
Imagine that you have a portfolio with a $100,000 market value. You follow the Benjamin Graham asset allocation model and begin by putting 50% of your money, or $50,000, in stocks, with the remaining 50% put into bonds. You select the Dow Jones Industrial Average iShares (Ticker Symbol IYY) and the Vanguard Intermediate Term Bond ETF (Ticker Symbol BIV).
At the end of the year, your bond holdings have appreciated by 5%, bringing the value of your bond component to $52,500. Your stock holdings appreciated 11%, bringing the value to $55,500. Your combined portfolio value is now $108,000. Your asset allocation exposure now consists of 48.611% bonds and 51.139% stocks. You can see how, over time, your asset allocation could drift far away from your intended asset class exposure.
Rebalancing would require you to reset your portfolio value to 50% stocks and 50% bonds. In this case, your portfolio has a market value of $108,000 so you'd need $54,000 in stocks and $54,000 in bonds. That means you would sell $1,500 of the Dow Jones ETF and buy $1,500 of the bond ETF. If stocks are experiencing a bubble as asset prices rise, you are now somewhat protected by maintaining your target asset allocation mix. However, you are still prospering from a rise in the market because you own more stock in an absolute sense. Remember, you started the year with $50,000 in stock and ended it with $54,000 in stock. You own $4,000 more worth of the Dow Jones ETF than you did.
Is Asset Allocation Rebalancing Cutting the Flowers and Watering the Weeds?
Famed mutual fund manager Peter Lynch once called selling winners to buy losers "cutting the flowers and watering the weeds". In one sense, he is correct. Asset allocation investors, on the other hand, are those that would like to avoid having to select individual investments and spend all of their free time pouring over financial statements and reading 10K disclosure documents. It's true that those who bought Coca-Cola, or Wal-Mart Stores, or Home Depot, or Berkshire Hathaway would have missed out on millions of dollars in profit if they had used rebalancing as part of their asset allocation strategy. They still would have ended up rich, though. Had they been one of the unlucky ones that owned Worldcom, or Enron, or Lehman Brothers, or AIG.
The bottom line is, only you and your advisor can decide what is right for your financial situation, needs, and risk tolerance. Whether you are willing to risk parting with some of the upside in exchange for insurance against total loss is a decision you need to make for yourself.
