ABC Financial works as a third-party for fitness companies—they manage billing and health club management software for more than 4,800 clubs throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Sounds like a great company, right? Though the company does serve to streamline money management for fitness clubs, adding another company to the mix makes it more difficult individuals looking to cancel their membership. Many people are forced to direct their billing and membership questions to ABC rather than the gym they thought they originally joined.
The nearly 30 recent Consumer Affairs complaints are proof that this process is complex and cryptic. Gym members have complained about duplicate billing or the inability to cancel. This can be both frustrating and financially detrimental to many gym members who simply want to work out.
It's clear to see that there is often miscommunication between ABC Financial and several gyms with which they are affiliated. The result is often confusion and wasted time. Because ABC Financial's website is geared for gaining new business, their instructions for canceling any type of service are sparse. If you have joined a gym, want to cancel, and have been directed to ABC Financial, and you may find yourself with no information on how to cancel your account.
Thankfully CancelWizard is here to save the day. Here are the steps you need to take to deactivate your account:
What You'll Need:
Type of account held through ABC Financial
Address of account billed through ABC Financial
Account number
Reason for cancellation
Your personal information stored with ABC Financial (phone, email, address, Social Security number, date of birth)
Credit card used for billing
Recent ABC Financial bill
Username and password (if registered for online access)
Steps to Cancel ABC Financial:
Gather all required information above.
Call the ABC Financial customer care line at 888-622-6290 and demand service cancellation.
They may ask you to give written notice of cancellation. If this is the case, make sure to request the exact address the notice should be sent to.
Check your bank statements for activity from ABC Financial services each month to ensure you're not getting charged.

Warning! Beware of Frontline Product Fakes!
We recently bought Frontline Tick protection for our three cats. We have been buying it for years and recently found a place nearby that sold it for $13 less than what we were paying elsewhere for three doses.
A few weeks ago, my husband went to treat the cats and was surprised that when he opened the box of Frontline for Cats, the instructions read "Frontline for Dogs" - so he called Frontline to confirm that what he had was intended for cats (it was Sunday, the pet store where we got it was closed).
The Frontline customer service rep asked for the lot number on the box, and also on the actual packaging of the squeeze tube thingy - and the lot numbers DID NOT MATCH. We sent it back to Frontline with the receipt and they replaced it for us.
The rep. told my husband that their are a number of counterfeit Frontline products out there and to only by from our vet!
Please be careful where you buy Frontline, and make sure the lot numbers on the box match the lot numbers on the tubes. We could very well have killed our cats with either too large a dose, or God only knows what was in those tubes.

Did you tell the store where you bought it? The local BBB? Are you going to follow up or is Frontline?
Thank you for this, I have a cat!

In celebration of the Tibetan New Year, the following is excerpted from the reply by the great yogi Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol to a Losar Day request by his disciple Depa Wangpo on what to adopt and what to reject regarding attitude and conduct.
Don't harm your friends and neighbors; help them.
Don't be stingy; use your wealth for offerings and charity.
Don't let your body be idle; do prostrations and circumambulations.
Don't let your mouth be idle; recite the mani mantra.
Always have pure thoughts towards others.
In brief, keeping Death in mind, practice the sacred Dharma.
Give up doing wrong, and do what is wholesome.
Whatever happiness and sufferings you undergo,
Regard them as the result of previous actions.
Always act in accord with the Dharma.
Even though I may be far away,
These instructions will remain like my very presence.
Keep them in mind!
From The Life of Shabkar by Shabkar Natshok Rangdrol, page 287.

President Barack Obama was given a rapturous reception by Israeli students on Thursday as he made a rousing call for peace with the Palestinians, but his lofty oratory got lower marks beyond the conference hall.
Urging the younger generation to push politicians for change, Obama said a concerted effort must be made to secure an independent Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.
The youthful audience repeatedly interrupted Obama with loud applause, holding up their cell phones to film his performance and giving him a standing ovation after a lone heckler was whisked away by security staff.
"He is a president who is also a rockstar. It's amazing. He knows how to touch the hearts of the people," said Gur Wallner, 25, a media student from the southern Israeli town of Sapir.
Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, however, were significantly less enthusiastic about his speech, which was billed as the highlight of Obama's three-day visit.
"A Palestinian state is not the right way forward," said Naftali Bennett, head of the pro-settler Jewish Home party, who was recently appointed industry and trade minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new centre-right coalition.
Bennett dismissed Obama's call for an end to the occupation of territory seized in the 1967 Middle East war, suggesting the land belonged to Israel.
"There is no such thing as a nation being an occupier in its own land," Bennett said in a comment pasted on Facebook.
A short distance away in the occupied West Bank, few Palestinians appeared to believe that Obama's appeal would bring swift results and expressed disappointment that Washington did not appear ready to apply effective pressure on Israel.
Direct peace talks between the two sides broke down in 2010, with the Palestinians walking away from the table when Israel refused to extend a partial freeze on settlement building.
"Certainly U.S. policy is biased toward the Israeli position," said Tayseer Khaled, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
"President Obama did not say what is required of Israel and did not take a clear position on settlements and the borders of the Palestinian state."
Palestinian hopes that Obama would change the dynamics of their decades-old conflict with Israel soared in 2009 when he made a speech in Cairo openly denouncing Israeli settlements.
The address in the Egyptian capital was portrayed as a "new beginning" in relations between the United States and the Muslim world. But four years on, students in Cairo expressed disappointment.
"Obama undertakes policies that show more understanding of the Islamic world, but he did not achieve anything for the Palestinian cause," said Mohammed Abdel Rahman, a 20-year-old science student at Cairo University.
Obama appealed directly to Israelis to put themselves in the shoes of stateless Palestinians, saying Western-backed leaders in nearby Ramallah were ready for meaningful talks.
But Israeli Deputy Defence Minister Danny Danon threw cold water on the idea. "It is clear to us that we all want peace, but the public in Israel understands today that to our regret there is no real partner," he told Israel radio.
Even some of Obama's audience, while welcoming his warmth and wit, questioned his vision of hope.
"I agreed with a lot of the things he said, but there was also a lot of unrealistic optimism," said Tal Ginzberg, 25, a student at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba.
"He is right that the Palestinians deserve their own state, but he ignores the fact that they are led by terrorist groups."
The Palestinian leadership in the West Bank has renounced violence, but has said it will not return to negotiations unless Israel halts the settlement building.
Wasel Abu Yousef, a senior PLO leader in Ramallah, said he had heard nothing in the past two days to make him optimistic. "Obama's visit provides no clear way forward for a serious solution to the conflict," he told Reuters.

Cat Manners: How to Help Your Guests Greet Your Cat
While it can be tempting to rush towards your friend's adorable new kitten to say hello or keep Fluffy from diving behind the couch by picking him up to be pet, every cat has a different way of greeting new people and may not welcome such a direct approach. Get the details on how to help houseguests learn the right way to be around your cat, below.
How do Cats Greet People?
Every cat has its own unique personality and genetic makeup that will impact the way they respond to new people or changes in their environment. Some cats will run to the door and greet visitors just like a dog would, while others will want to run away or hide behind a piece of furniture. In some, less common cases, cats will respond to new people with fear-based aggression like hissing and swatting, according to Katie Watts, senior feline behavior counselor at the ASPCA adoption center.
There are a several reasons behind a cat's greeting behavior, Watts said, namely genetics and socialization. If your cat is the offspring of a line of feral or wild cats, she said, they might be genetically disposed to fearful behavior. How your cat was socialized as a kitten will also impact how they respond to new people, as cats with exposure to a variety of different people will probably be more comfortable around visitors in your home.
"If a cat has only known one or two people they may be less apt to handle stimulation like lots of people or noises," Watts said. "It's really a combination of how they've been socialized as well as their genes."
What Behaviors Frighten Cats?
A fearful cat may have trouble greeting visitors on its own, but the issue can be compounded if those visitors behave in a particularly intrusive way to the cat. Most people tend to treat cats like they would another person, Watts said, which can be a mistake in a lot of cases, especially with a fearful cat.
"When a cat is afraid, your instinct is to walk directly up to them and tell them they're okay, which can be even more threatening to an already fearful cat," she said. Approaching a cat head-on and looking at them directly can be particularly threatening behavior to an uncomfortable cat, she added.
Children tend to exaggerate these same adult behaviors which, combined with their awkward movements and sudden noises, can be very unsettling to a fearful cat, Watts said. Any sort of forceful behavior, like pulling a cat from a hiding place, can also be scary to cats that are trying to retreat from an uncomfortable situation.
Tips for Guests and Pet Owners
Modifying your cat's guest-greeting behavior and working with visitors to help your cat feel comfortable in their presence will take a bit of work but can be done. Watts offers the following tips for making interactions more pleasant for everyone involved:
-Keep it down—be mindful of the noise level when you have guests over. While you can't control every sound of the party, you can set the tone of their visit by asking your guests to enter quietly and act calmly around your cat.
-Give it time—the one guest who claims not to be a "cat person" usually gets the majority of your cat's attention. Why is that the case? Because they let the cat come up to them on their own time. If you want a fearful cat to approach, don't directly reach for it and give it space and time to feel comfortable around you and greet you when they're ready.
-Have treats handy—keep bite-sized treats or toys on hand and give them to your guests when they arrive. Ask them to sit down quietly with the treat and coax them over to say hello or play for a few moments. Cats will be much more receptive to this form of interaction than a direct approach. This will also work with children that want to say hello to your cat.
-Take it slow—if you know you're going to have a big party, start small and have just one or two people over before the big event. Let your cat get used to being around a few new people and, depending on its response, take it from there.
-Let them have space—if your cat doesn't want to interact with your guests or continues to be uncomfortable around new people, make sure they have a place to retreat to (like a bedroom) or high place to perch. "The more you try to force a cat into a situation, the more likely you are to see aggressive behavior or fear worsening," Watts said.
-Get help—if your cat develops aggressive behaviors, it's important to talk to an expert to get to the bottom of the issue. Seek out a certified animal behaviorist to determine the best course of action for you and your cat.
Tell us: Does your cat like houseguests? How do you make them feel comfortable around new people?

You will find her frequently (and loudly) asking for attention, but she also lets you know when she has had enough. This sensitive kitty loves to explore, but should be in a single-cat household so she can be queen of her own jungle! Learn more about adopting Teresa here.

Rainy Buddhas and a nice Massage
Loading Map
12:38 It rained all morning, very heavily, finally it subsided a bit and me and Angela got a tuktuk to the bus station a few km away then a public bus to the Buddha Park another 24km away. See copious number of pictures of various Buddhas.
It rained more, I tried fried banana at the park which was nice.
Got back, bumps into Jane and Paul and all decided to go for a massage. Me and Angela had a Lao massage for an hour which was much needed and only �2.60. Can you believe it! Jane had a bodyscrub and looked a slightly different colour at the end- her feet were stained yellow, and Paul had an oil massage. We were all very happy! We returned to our rooms for an hour or so until we met for dinner at 7. We'd decided that pizza was what we fancied and if we couldn't get it here we couldn't get it anywhere else. Found a place called Tex Mex along the front which we found quite entertaining in that there was several quite pissed older guys sitting with very pretty slim locals. There was also a guy sitting on his own, again, drunk, who was jamming away to himself with the different western music, anything from elvis to the verve, pretend playing a piano, guitar and drums, and occasionally bursting into song very loudly at the occasional lyric, but never quite on time with the song, I was facing him and was hugely entertained.
After dinner we hugged goodbye to Jane and Paul as their plan was to leave on the afternoon bus to to vang vieng tomorrow, whereas ours was to cycle and go the day after.
Me and Angela went onto the riverside markets again as I'm after a pair of local shorts- the sort that look like you've lost about 20 stone when you hold them up to yourself but the idea is you sort of fold them over and tie them up. They're really loose and cool and have a massive crotch area that you could do the splits in (not that I can, or will be trying!). Her starting price was 60000, and after some negotiating we were aiming for 30000 each. She said no, the lowest she would offer was 40000 so we moved on up the Market. We found nothing else and I decided that I'd pay that for them anyway. We returned and offered 2 for 70000-35000 each, and she said yes. So now I have some new baggy shorts!
On getting back to the hotel I thought id try and call my family as I haven't in ages. I was dubious as the speeds here are about half a meg and I didn't think skype would cope, it often doesn't. I tried my sisters house. Nothing, I knew everyone was in London so called my mums mobile. She picked up and I heard her saying it was from an unknown number, then hello. I started saying hello, then yelling hello then she put the phone down. I tried again and this time I got through, brilliant. As it happened the whole family was in the car so I was able to speak to them all and have a great conversation despite the 5sec delay which can often cause problems when people try and talk over each other, but we didn't. It did cost a lot more than calling a landline too! Normally I can talk for about 1p per min. This was more like 10p per min, so I'll have to top up my account again soon.
Bed time after that, still a bit tired.
Best: talking to the family
Worst: that it rained ALL day
Beautiful: the Buddha statues in Buddha park

There's something really classic and enduring about this scarf - I especially love the colour way of green, almond and white.
From 'Accessories by Stitchcraft', I believe it comes from the early-mid 1950s.
Knitted in Patons Fingering 2-ply on 2.25mm needles, I would suggest a light-fingering based on the gauge.

Shouldn't Yuki already be in heat?
Yuki is already 7 months old, nearly 8 and she should be going into heat soon, right? I've seen kittens as young as 4 or 5 months go into heat but usually kittens go into it at 7 months, correct me if I am wrong. Yuki is a British Shorthair and I know that the age a kittens go into heat varies for several reasons but can anyone estimate when she will go into heat, or at least give me a few tips on later how to breed her with a male. Plus, how long will she stay in heat for?
Thank you,
Sandra :3

The timing is individual and genetic, just like with people. We read before that you want her to with get it on with the boy cat next door, but it is biology and menstruation can happen any time up to one year of age. She will be in heat for a few weeks, and if they like each other when in the same room they will do it... also just like with people. What are you planning on doing with this future litter... are you trying to sell them? What's the rush?? ^_^

It seems you are interested in breeding, if so first if your kittens parents are not registered as pure breeds and if your Yuki isn't registered as a breeding cat, the litter will never sale as pure breed cats because there is no proof she is. Second, the first cycle can be erratic, but the whaling will be a sure sign because you won't be sleeping when she finally goes into heat. Third, the pure breed cat associations have tons of information on breeding I suggest you check there. But, again, if your cat isn't registered, which any buyer can check, with one of these associations you won't be able to sale them as pure breeds. Oh, and once she goes in heat your home will develop a really funny smell from marking. To find a male you need to advertise for a stud and be prepared to pay a "stud fee".

|Irish Coffee: Kevin Garnett keeps Celtics' championship heart beating
|10.05.12 at 11:20 am ET
On the bus after Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, Rajon Rondo sat next to his 'closest friend on the team' and asked Kevin Garnett the obvious: 'What are you going to do? I'd really like it if you would come back.'
'When he made the decision to come back,' said Rondo, 'I was really excited.' Along with every other member of the organization — from the brass to the ball boys, who bring out a jovial side of Garnett in the locker room that few others often do — and the millions of Celtics fans who waited anxiously for his June 30 announcement.
'It was an absolute no-brainer,' said Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca of the decision to commit $36 million more to a 7-footer who will be 39 years old by contract's end. 'It was a very short conversation. We were just really hoping Kevin would want to come back and finish out his career here.'
You could argue whether Rondo is the head of the Celtics snake on the floor, as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Josh Smith all have, or whether Paul Pierce is the face of the franchise, but any debate about who embodies the heart and soul of the grit-and-balls mentality that has come to define these Celtics begins and ends with KG.
|Irish Coffee: Top 10 Celtics Media Day moments
|10.01.12 at 5:36 pm ET
Considering the Celtics have been unofficially practicing together since early September, Friday's Media Day at the team's practice facility in Waltham seemed less like a welcome home party than years past and more like an interruption of a team's quest for the franchise's 18th NBA championship already in progress. That attitude is reflected in the top 10 moments from this year's Celtics Media Day compared to the same post last season.
10. Chris Wilcox on missing the playoffs again: "I was fresh out of surgery when they made it to the playoffs. The whole time, I was just trying to see whatever I could do. I was like, 'Doc, there's no way I could come back?' And he was like, 'Don't even think about it.' So, it was just motivation, because I can't watch basketball and not play it. … I'm out trying to walk on treadmills and doing all these different kind of things, just trying to get back, because I wanted to be around basketball. I've never been to the playoffs before. That was going to be my first experience, and then that had to happen, so it was tough."
9. Jared Sullinger on dropping to the Celtics: "Everybody was knocking me for the back problems and all this crazy stuff, but I could care less. Like I told everybody, if I dropped to the Celtics at 21, and I could go back and redo everything — and me not getting hurt — I'll get hurt again and slide all the way back down to 21, just so I could be with the Boston Celtics. I'd redo it, because it's a great organization, great vets, great team."
8. Courtney Lee on the Celtics' championship tradition: "Every organization I've been with, winning has always been the key, but here you believe — you feel it, you see it. We're not even starting training camp yet, and we had our whole team here Sept. 4, and everybody was dedicated to getting better. The motto of it was to win a championship. The first day I got here, on the fourth, all Rondo was talking about is a championship and getting back and winning. Once you hear that from your star players, you don't want to let them down, so that motivates you to get on the same page, and that's all it's about: Winning."
|Celtics experiment with small ball
|at 1:22 pm ET
WALTHAM — The buzzword around the Celtics these days is "versatility." In Jason Terry, Courtney Lee and especially Jeff Green, coach Doc Rivers has a number of different lineup combinations he can use, and he plans to test them all. Rivers pointed to Rajon Rondo, who was getting stretched out behind the media scrum. "He'll be very happy."
Their last practice before departing for Istanbul was devoted entirely to using small lineups, although small is a relative term. The C's believe that the 6-foot-9 Green can force matchups whether he's at the three or the four and there's even a thought of playing him and Paul Pierce together with two traditional bigs.
"We put it in [Sunday] but we didn't work on it," Rivers said. "Today we're going to have almost exclusively have small lineups on the floor so that will be fun. This is the first year we've ever really worked on it and we're going to work on it so we can do it every game."
Green is the key because of his length and athleticism. Last season, Rivers used Mickael Pietrus as a smaller small forward with Pierce playing the four. That lineup was almost born out of desperation as a counter to Miami using LeBron James as the second big around a lineup of perimeter shooters.Rivers doesn't just want to matchup, he wants to attack and he sees Green as a force in the open court.
"He's the main guy when you talk about small lineups," Rondo said. "He played the four at Oklahoma City, he stretched the floor with his shooting. We can get a lot of bigs on the floor as well. He can go from the four to the three. Defensively, he can check one through four, I believe. We expect a lot out of Jeff but he's fine with that pressure."
A key to making the smaller lineups work is also coming up with an offense that won't stall when Rondo is off the court — a frequent occurrence last season. With no traditional backup point guard on the roster and Avery Bradley out for a few months, that task may fall to Terry.
"He's a better ballhandler," Rivers said. "I knew he could score of the dribble but he's really a natural at the point. That surprised me. We have no choice right now with Avery out. We're trying to create an offense where it's not a point guard dominated offense, unless Rondo's on the floor."
|Jason Terry: I'm the JET (not Ray Allen) and "I like to fly"
|09.29.12 at 1:30 pm ET
WALTHAM — Veteran guard Jason Terry was prepared Friday at Celtics media day to handle the question he knew was coming – how does it feel to be replacing Ray Allen?
"Who?," the 35-year-old Terry said with a straight face. "No, we're two different players and hopefully, I'll bring something that Ray didn't and some of the things that he did. Obviously, Ray was a great player for this franchise for years, brought them a championship in '08. But, again, our games are totally different. He's 6-5 and I'm 6-2, but I am "The Jet" and I like to fly so we'll see what happens. A lot of those comparisons will be thrown out there but we're two totally different players.
"For me, my job, it doesn't change. I'll be thrust into the sixth-man role. But hey, I'm on one of the best. It is what it is, and I take pride in it. It's something every team needs, that spark, that energy off the bench and that's what I'm here to do. Anything other than that, I won't be doing my job. I don't want to let these guys down. KG has already talked to me about what it means for him to win another championship, [Rajon Rondo] tells me every day what it means to win another one. And Paul Pierce, he's looking great and he's in great shape and condition. They know, they're champions."
Terry said he's been inspired by the veterans like Rondo, Pierce and Kevin Garnett to be a leader for the bench.
"So now, for me as a veteran player, it's [my job] to help these young guys, those guys we're going to need off the bench, be the leader for them and help them understand what it's going to mean to win a championship," he said. "There is no other goal. The goal is to win a championship and I believe this year we have the talent, the coaching staff, the fans to get the job done. We believe it, we believe it to a man that we will win."

|Top 5 Kevin Garnett quotes from Celtics Media Day
|at 9:15 pm ET
Five highlights from Celtics center Kevin Garnett's interview at the team's media day in Waltham:
WALTHAM — Kevin Garnett has taught Rajon Rondo how to be a leader.
That much was obvious two weeks ago when Rondo took it upon himself to invite Celtics players out to Los Angeles for a pick-up game/workout and a friendly game of flag-football. The reason? Team bonding.
Rondo made it clear Friday at Celtics media day how big of an impact Garnett has had on him in his career. Rondo said after losing Game 7 of the Eastern finals to the Heat in Miami, the first thing he did when he got on the bus was to ask Garnett if he were coming back.
"I can probably say Kevin is my closest friend on the team," Rondo began. "Kevin always wants to see me do well. From Day 1, I think my second year when he first came in, he told me he would be disappointed if I wasn't the MVP of the league one day, if I wasn't considered one of the best point guards one day so he's always pushed me and expected more out of me than a lot of people did. He's always showed me how to become a better person each day. Whenever I mess up, Kevin's always the one who tells me you should do this, or conduct yourself this way or handle it that way.
"He's been kind of like a big brother/mentor and he's always wanted the best for me so that's how we sort of gravitated toward each other. Obviously, off the court, we have a lot of things in common. We share the same interests in a lot of things. He's been like a big brother to me. The way he goes about the game, the way he approaches the game. He's a future hall of famer, I consider one of the greatest players to ever play the game who's been in front of me. So, he's inspired me to work hard, come in every day, come in get extra shots, taking care of my body, getting proper rest, getting massages, getting treatment and getting stretching. This is how to have longevity in the NBA. He's played for 17 years and only two or three players can say that in this era."
As for those who doubt whether a 36-year-old Kevin Garnett can be productive, Rondo said Friday he knows better.
"I don't take it personal because I'm not him but I kind of laugh when people say he's old or he doesn't do this or he can't do that because if you know the game of basketball, it's one thing but when you play with Kevin, he does so many little things that don't show up in the stat book," Rondo said. "When you play with another big guy that isn't Kevin Garnett, you know what you're missing out there on the floor. Obviously, in the playoffs he had a great run. If you look at the stats, the plus-minus when Kevin was on and off the floor, there was a big difference. Read the rest of this entry »

/// Big Jambox Update Lets You Rock a Little Longer, Improves Audio Performance
Jawbone today released a software update for its Big Jambox Bluetooth speaker system that extends battery life, improves audio streaming for iOS devices, and more. The Big Jambox 2.0 update will be available later this morning, and adds new AAC support for iOS 6.1 that promises better audio streaming with fewer dropouts. Jawbone said that due to the efficiency of AAC (the default audio format used by iOS devices), the speaker system also gains an additional two hours of battery life, bringing the total estimated battery life up to 17 hours. Of course, that is, when paired with an iOS 6.1 device. Not all benefits of the software update are limited to iPhone, iPod and iPad users. A new silent mode allows you to mute the speaker's voice prompts and tones by holding down the Talk and Plus buttons on the Big Jambox. Volume control is now synced between your mobile device and the speaker, so if you change the volume on your phone, the audio is adjusted on the speaker, as well. Also, support for the Sony PS Vita has been added if you want to put your gaming audio on blast. The update is free, and Big Jambox owners can get it by logging on to Jawbone's MyTalk site and following the instructions. You will need to connect the speaker to your computer; it's not an over-the-air update. I reviewed the Big Jambox in May, and found it to be great wireless speaker system. It's beautifully designed, and I thought it offered better sound quality than the comparable Bose SoundLink Mobile Wireless Speaker.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 09/432,099, filed Nov. 2, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,149,714 entitled "Automated Targeted and Proportional Investment Management Systems and Methods, which claims benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/123,714, filed Mar. 10, 1999, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates generally to an automated system for investment management and more specifically to a computerized system for managing the investment of capital in markets to receive income and capital gains while minimizing the risk of loss of net asset value.
Any form of investment implicates the "risk/reward ratio," which represents the relationship between the possibilities of profit (reward) and the concomitant possibilities for loss (risk). An investor's ability to withstand risk usually depends on the person's overall economic position and economic needs, which in turn sets the amount of reward. The only way to increase the reward for a given risk is to change the ratio. Doing so, however, has proven difficult.
The most direct way to increase reward is to buy low and sell high, but following this simple and elegant rule has proven difficult because it requires predictive powers. It is not possible to know whether the market was at a high or low until well after the point in time passes.
In addition, human emotion enters into and complicates investment decisions. For example, when a stock's price falls, many investors want to keep the stock hoping to break even or win when the stock's price recovers. Similarly, when a stock's price rises, many investors choose to hold the stock out of fear of selling below the best price. Both decisions are seldom wise in the long run.
A sound investment strategy should remove emotion from decision-making, but most investment strategies lack any plan to indicate when to buy and when to sell. Some investment models explain when to buy, but not when to sell. For example, a portfolio manager may place a sell order at a specific price, but the manager generally lacks any quantitative means to determine the selling price. That value depends as much on guesswork as it does on science.
Many financial planners also recommend "asset allocation models," such as 60% equities, 30% fixed income obligations, and 10% cash or money-market type funds. The problem remains, however, when to liquidate and when to purchase assets. Moreover, mere asset allocation does not include systematic profit taking, only systematic investment to maintain the proper ratios.
A method, consistent with this invention and executed by a data processing system, for controlling an investment vehicle comprises determining the value of the investment vehicle; comparing the determined value against a predefined investment target; making an additional investment in the investment vehicle automatically if the value fails to reach the investment target, the amount of the additional investment depending upon the amount by which the value fails to reach the investment target; and liquidating part of the investment vehicle automatically if the value exceeds the investment target, the part of the investment vehicle that is liquidated depending upon the amount by which the value exceeds the investment target.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the advantages and principles of the invention.
In the drawings:
A. Overview
Reference will now be made in detail to implementations, consistent with the present invention, that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or like parts.
Systems and methods consistent with this invention seek to apply a predefined, and preferably proportional, response to the motion of particular equity investments (e.g., stocks, bonds, mutual funds) that are, by their nature, nonlinear and inherently unstable. Such systems and methods do so using targets and prescribed responses that require additional investment when the equity price drops below the predefined target, and liquidation when the equity price exceeds the target.
B. Procedures
The reserve account could be kept in some type of money-market instruments or short-term bond funds, such as treasury or municipal bonds. Investments into the equity account preferably come from the reserve account, while profits taken from the equity account would return to the reserve account.
Next, a "target balance" is created to compare to the equity value (Step 220). Systems and methods consistent with this invention preferably use a "linear function" to create the target balance. There are several different ways to create this target balance, the simplest being to start with a target amount of a set number of dollars (i.e., $10,000.00), and increment the target by that set number of dollars for each succeeding year (for example, leaving a target balance of $20,000.00 at the end of the second year, $30,000.00 at the end of the third year, $40,000.00 at the end of the fourth year, etc.). Using a $10,000.00 target with maximum safety (i.e., a reserve ratio of 20:1), would require a reserve of $200,000.00. Other methods of creating a target balance are also acceptable.
A computer system then measures the value of the investment at an evaluation cycle point (Step 230). The evaluation cycle point defines the period (e.g., monthly, yearly, etc.) at which the investment decision is evaluated. The investment could be timed so that the cycles occur at any desired period, for example, annually, semiannually, quarterly, monthly, weekly or even daily. The only difference is between any of these models would be the frequency of measurement and purchase.
Next, the computer system automatically compares the net value of the investment account to the target balance (Step 240). If the net value exceeds the target balance by more than a predetermined amount, the computer system liquidates a portion of the investment (Step 250), preferably into the reserve account and preferably in proportion to the amount that the equity value exceeds the target. Hence, when the market or price hits its top, the system will have taken the maximum liquidation.
Similarly, when the equity value falls below the target balance by more than the predetermined amount, the computer system forces an investment (Step 260), preferably from the reserve account and preferably in proportion to the amount that the equity balance falls below the target. Hence, at the point that the price has dropped to its lowest value, this system would force a maximum investment, even though the investor may not know that it has dropped to that value.
If neither condition exists, no investment or liquidation occurs (Step 270). After whatever action is taken, the system then waits for the next evaluation cycle point.
Between the two extremes, the investment or liquidation will be dictated by a relationship, preferably linear, between the equity value and the linear target for the same point in time. In a rising marketplace, the size of investment will decrease proportionately with the rise in the market until the target balance and the equity value are equal, at which point the investment will then be zero. If the equity value continues to rise, then investment stops and liquidation begins, with maximum liquidation at the high point for the cycle.
As the value of the equity begins to decline relative to the target, the liquidations decrease until a balance point where the target balance and the equity value are equal. At the balance point, no action takes place. As the price declines further, purchase of additional equity begins, with the amount of the purchase increasing in proportion to the price drops. The low point in the cycle forces a maximum purchase.
All that is required is that at the end of the cycle, in our example, the end of the year, the account value can be determined and compared to the target. This simple comparison removes all decision making and analysis from the process.
Generally, the determinations forming the basis for the systems and methods consistent with this invention can be understood according to the following relationships: Thus, for a fixed increment,
For a percentage increase,
(YEAR 1) Tx=T1
(YEAR 2+) Tx=T1�(1+I)(x−1)
(YEAR 1) Tx=T1
(YEAR 2+) Tx=Tx−1+(Tf+Tf�(1+I)(x)
x=subscript for plan year
Px=Price per share at the beginning of the year (x)
Tl=fixed amount of initial investment target
Tf=fixed amount of annual investment target
I=annual percentage increment over prior Target Value
M=Margin of safety factor
R=Safety reserve
Ax=Investment or Redemption on first day of year (x)
Sx=Number of shares purchased or sold on first day of year (x)
Zx=Total number of shares held at the end of year (x)
Ex=Equity account value on last day of the prior year (x)
Tx=Target equity value (fixed increment) at the beginning of the year (x)
C. Examples
A method consistent with this invention was applied to the greatest market plunge in history to test its efficacy. Graph 300 in
Graph 400 in
For purposes of this illustration, Dow Jones Industrial Average is considered as a security to illustrate overall market movement. Because the crash of 1929 led to more than an 80% decline in value in a four-year period, it was an inopportune time to invest money. Nonetheless, assuming $300.00 a share for a target balance for $10,000.00 resulted in purchase of 33⅓ shares. Those shares suffered a 17.17% loss of equity during that year resulting in an account actual equity balance of $8,283.00.
Meeting the target balance of $20,000.00 required an investment of $11,717.00 at the first trading day of 1930. In other words, the system forced a greater investment as the market price declined. Investing $11,717.00 required a purchase of 47.16 shares due to the drop in the share price. Thus in 1930, the model would have had 80.49 shares (33.33 original shares and 47.16 additional shares), which would have yielded an end actual equity balance of $13,247.00 at the end of 1930. The net investment at that time was $21,717.00 ($10,000.00 initial plus $11,717.00 additional), which meant that the portfolio suffered a loss for the two years of $8,470.00.
At the beginning of the third year, the target balance became $30,000.00. Subtracting the actual equity balance of $13,247.00 from the target of $30,000.00 yields $16,753.00 for the required investment. Dividing this investment by the $164.58 price per share meant a purchase of an additional 101.79 shares, bringing the total shares held to 182.28.
The equity at the end of the third year equals 182.28 shares times $77.90 per share, or $14,200.00. Subtracting that value from the target balance of $40,000.00 yields a need for an additional investment of $25,800.00, which purchases 331.20 additional shares. At this point, the portfolio has 513.48 shares.
At the end of the fourth year, the equity balance has fallen again to $30,773.00. Because the target balance is now $50,000.00, an investment of $19,227.00, or 320.83 shares, is required. The portfolio now has 834.31 shares.
At the end of the fifth year, however, the equity balance has risen dramatically to $83,347.00. This rise in the stock price has meant that the equity now exceeds the $60,000.00 target by $23,347.00, requiring liquidation of that amount (233.71 shares). This, in turn, reduces the total number of shares owned to 600.60.
The equity balance at the end of year six would be 600.60 shares�$104.04 per share, yielding an equity balance of $62,486.00. Because the target has now moved to $70,000.00, an additional $7,514.00, or 72.22 shares, must be invested, raising the number of shares in the portfolio to 672.82 shares.
At the end of year seven the equity balance is 672.82 shares�$144.13 per share, or $96,973.00, which is $16,973.00 greater than the target balance is $80,000.00. Liquidating $16,973.00 reduces the portfolio by 117.76 shares to only 555.05 shares. The remainder of Table 300 demonstrates how the methodology results in an average net investment gain of 6.94%.
To offset this anomaly, the model in spreadsheet 800 of
Applying the method consistent with this invention to these models shows, by the column entitled "Net Investment to Date" that the largest value-occurs in year 36 at an amount of $232,445.00. This would teach that if the market had behaved in this manner, we would need a ratio of 23.2445:1. This anomaly, however, has never occurred, and if did, our national economy would have crashed long before the 40th year.
Working with averages and assuming that the income offset the investments shows a net annual investment of $939.02 per year, which built an end actual equity balance of $201,720.00 at the end of 20 years. This is equivalent to a 21.157% average rate of return on the equity investment.
Obviously, systems and methods consistent with this invention can use a myriad of investment vehicles as long as they have an active trading market and a price that can be readily established, and they can be held for as long as is necessary. Such vehicles could include stocks meeting the above criteria, bonds (preferably noncallable and including, but not limited to, treasury bonds, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and even junk bonds), stock, bond or real estate mutual funds, mutual funds of any nature so long as they are open-ended funds, certain types of annuities, collectibles, Certificates of Deposit, American depository receipts, real estate investment trusts, and foreign currencies. This, of course, is not all-inclusive, but is instead merely exemplary.
Systems and methods consistent with this invention could be used for a variety of purposes. Examples of persons who could especially benefit are personal injury victims or retirees who have received a lump sum award and need the safety of principal and income that will grow in proportion to inflation in the future, 401K Plan and IRA participants who wish to take their profits but not get out of the market, Keogh participants, profit sharing participants, and those in profit sharing plans or money purchase pension plans. Also, private investors with large profits that are afraid to get out of the market, or those who finally want to get into the market may also benefit. In addition, virtually any qualified retirement plan, be it corporate or labor union or a small company, deferred compensation plans, educational endowments, church or temple endowment or building funds and private foundations could benefit as well. In other words, any investor of any type looking to limit-their downside risk while keeping their upside potential, altering irrevocably the traditional risk reward ratio.
In the case of any qualified retirement plans that are showing huge profits right now, all of the equity holdings could be liquidated, realizing a profit, but without having any taxation on the profit because it would be internal to the tax-qualified plan. They could then start putting the money back into the plan utilizing this methodology on a much safer basis. They could do this for the entire investment or just compute the invested capital and take a reasonable rate of return such as that on treasure bonds etc. or they can lock in their entire profit and leave the rest in and then take their profit and funnel it back in on a safer basis.

By FITSNews || SCGOP Chairwoman Karen Floyd has defused a potential political bombshell by resolving some tax issues associated with one of her former employees.
According to documents obtained by FITS, notice of a federal tax lien totaling almost $37,000 was filed against Floyd's Upstate public relations firm, The Palladian Group, in April of 2009.
The lien cited unpaid payroll taxes.
Two additional tax liens totaling roughly $6,600 were filed by the S.C. Department of Revenue against The Palladian Group in May of 2009, also citing unpaid payroll taxes.
Also, Floyd was more than nine months late in paying property taxes on her office in downtown Spartanburg, S.C.
The problems, apparently, stem from a personnel issue at Floyd's firm.
"All of the Palladian Group's taxes are paid in full," Floyd spokesman Joel Sawyer told FITS. "Quite frankly and quite simply, there was an employee who was not doing what they were supposed to do, and the situation was rectified."
Sawyer declined to elaborate on the situation with Floyd's former employee, but he provided FITS with documentation from the U.S. Department of Treasury and the S.C. Department of Revenue showing that Floyd's taxes were indeed paid in full.
A source close to the Palladian Group tells FITS that Floyd discovered one of her employees was stealing money from the company, but chose to resolve the situation in a way that did not bring embarrassment to the employee in question.

Fire burns at Idaho Falls factory
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A fire was burning at Oldcastle Precast on South Yellowstone Hwy. in Idaho Falls on Monday.
Fire officials said the fire started around 10 a.m. It was burning near the conveyor belt at the top of a cement building that makes concrete and was mostly out as of 10:45 a.m.
"There are gas lines up in that area so we got the gas company to shut the gas off. We're trying to get that fire put out now," said Idaho Falls Fire Chief Dean Ellis.
The conveyor belt is heated with a torch to operate properly. The roof and conveyor belt both caught fire, which firefighters scrambled to put out. Wind gusts and the height of the building made it difficult.
Most of the workers for the concrete plant were told to stay away from area, in the main building while firefighters got the structure under control.
No one was hurt in the fire and the department is investigating.

Date of Stay: October, 2012
Nice shady sites, with a great view of the river. Restroom/shower house very clean, they had a fresh pinesol smell to them every time I went into them. Campground hosts and other campers very friendly. New walking/bike trail being constructed from campground to Yankton. Trail was as far as Murdos when we were camping there. Fun trail to bike. Campground was pretty quiet while we were there. Close to Yankton, SD. Doesn't have the "park" look like Cottonwood, but nice campground none the less.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We camp here fairly often. The south loop is mainly reservable, north loop mostly walk-in. South loop is all paved, north loop has some gravel sites. Two restroom/shower houses in campground. North loop's has doors on shower stalls, but water is push button, so you have to re-push as you shower. I could not find a way to adjust water temp. South loop has curtains on the shower stalls, so privacy isn't the greatest, but you can turn on water and adjust temperature, no push button water. Restrooms are usually pretty clean. Holidays and weekends are busy. Nice lake for fishing and kayaking. Free swimming beach not too far away, and really nice walking/biking trails. Close to the river and Lewis and Clark Lake if you like to boat. Regular price for camp site is $16. and $18. Senior Pass holders pay $8. and $9. Army Corps of Engineers campground. Generally a pretty quiet and friendly campground.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
No reservations accepted, walk-in only. Quiet peaceful campground with walking trails through beautiful wooded area. Walking/horse trails are not for the weak or frail! These trails have some very steep hills. Trails are well marked and wide. Water is not the best, so we did not use it in our camper, definitely would need a water filter system if you hooked up to the hydrant. I boiled water to make baggie omelets, and had a good amount of sediment in the bottom of my pan when I dumped it. Restrooms/showers were rustic, but clean and had good pressure for showers. Road entering campground is dirt and very steep and had large washed out ruts along the side of it. I would worry about getting out pulling a camper if it rained very much. Small pond for fishing. I would definitely come again, very nice place.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Campground is close to Lake Manawa, but we could not see lake from the camper sites of the campground. Older campground so electrical boxes aren't located for ease of use. We had to park on the grass instead of on the site's gravel pad in order to reach the electrical box. The campground hosts are OK with that as it is the only way you can use the electrical hook-ups. The electrical boxes are shared between two campsites. No water hook-ups, but they have multiple hydrants thru-out the campground. A vault is located by the camper section of the campground, tent section is close to the restroom/shower house. Very clean restrooms, excellent water, and water pressure, except when someone flushes a toilet - then you have no water! I thought that was pretty funny. It comes right back on, but the first time it happened it threw me a little. The showers are very clean and have doors for privacy. Everyone stayed to themselves, not overly friendly, but we were only there one night. It's not the easiest campground to get to, as you go through residential areas to get to it. We left the other way as we thought it was an easier way, but there were a lot of low hanging branches that made us nervous, which is probably why they direct you the other way. We would probably camp there again if we had to go to Council Bluffs. We had to pay an extra $4. online booking fee so technically it's $16. for electric sites.

Fox Theatre
999 Willamette Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened around 1910 as the Rex Theatre, this 850-seat theater on Willamette Street has also been called the Majestic Theatre, the Progressive Theatre, the National Theatre, and in its final years in operation, in the 1960's, the Fox Theatre.
Today the building houses the Downtown Athletic Club and Conference Center. It also houses a restaurant.
Any further information on this theater would be appreciated.
Recent comments (view all 8 comments)
There are some old photos of the theater on the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society website at http://www.pstos.org/instruments/or/eugene/rex.htm
Opening as Fox on August 24th, 1955 is on page 8 of this newspaper at View link
Opening as National on June 11th, 1971
Microfilm at View link
The grand-re-opening as the National was on June 9, 1971, not June 11. The street address given in the National ads was 969 (not 999) Willamette.
From the late 1930s a photo postcard view of the Rex Theatre in Eugene.
Nice ad.Always enjoy looking at them.Thanks guys.
From the very early 1900s a view of the Rex Theatre..Vanishing Movie Theaters in Eugene
I remember the beautiful neon Fox sign that jutted out over the street in the 1960s and up until the Eugene sign code banned all the big signs. Seems like when the sign came down, that was about the time the name changed. I don't think there was ever one of those generic tiny signs for The Fox. Would be really surprised if it had been renamed the Fox again as the caption says, in the end, and also the address of the theater is next door to where that athletic club is now. Fox was not on the corner it was (as another comment mentioned here) at 969 Willamette. I think that was a shoe store on the corner. And, as I mentioned, the theater did not have it's "final days" in the 1960s. I was back briefly in Eugene in about 1985, and I think it was still open then (as The National). The last movie I saw there was in 1981.
Circa 1962 postcard added courtesy of Craig Addams.

"The fundamentals of the game got away from us," Texas coach Augie Garrido said. "At different times and at different ways, there were times when momentum shifts could have occurred but they didn't. You could summarize it by saying that it all came from the same spirit: we were trying too hard. And that's a hard thing to balance. Baseball is a complex game because you're trying to balance a person put in the middle of all of the excitement in trying to stay relaxed to balance their performance. It's really hard to do."
"You didn't see players quit," Garrido continued. "Most of the mistakes we made were errors related to tension and playing too hard."
The Horns outhit the Anteaters, 13-10. LHP Keith Shinaberry would shoulder the loss for the Horns.
The Horns pitched Joseph Krebs in the bottom of the seventh while Irvine countered with First-Team All-Big West RHP Scott Gorgen who went the distance in recording the win against Texas Saturday. RHP Randy Boone tied a school record with his 160th appearance in the Anteater eighth. He got no help from his defense.
Two miscues -- a fielding error on 1B Chance Wheeless and a throwing error on RF Kyle Russell -- plated an unearned Anteater run. A hit batsman put runners on the corners and Boone was done after one-third inning. LHP Pat McCrory became Texas' third pitcher in two innings. After recording a fly-out to right, McCrory surrendered a two-RBI double and the Anteaters had all the separation they would need. It was the third three-run inning of the rain-delayed ballgame for Irvine.
RHP Blair Erickson took the hill to protect a 9-5 lead while Texas was down to its final three outs. Travis Tucker tried to get things started with a leadoff single to left before Jordan Danks laced a 3-2 pitch into deep left-center for a standup double. Kyle Russell went down swinging before Chance Wheeless drew a bases-loading walk on four pitches. That brought Bradley Suttle 's hot bat (7-for-13 in the Regional) to the plate. The sophomore drew an unintentional walk to make it a 9-6 contest.
That was as good as it got for the Horns. PH Clay Van Hook (whose last hit was March 18 against Baylor) went down swinging before Chais Fuller grounded out to second.
"I really felt like this team had it in us," said 1B Chance Wheeless, whose Longhorn career drew to a close. "We didn't play up to our capability."

Original Air Date: 07/22/2005
Trapped along with Teal'c and Vala far beneath England's Glastonbury Tor, Daniel and Mitchell have only seconds to outwit the Ancient snares in which they're caught. Once they succeed, they have to handle only one or two more small details — such as a near-impossible swordfight with an inhuman knight — before they win access to the cave's vast treasure. Amid the standard-issue gold and jewels, Daniel uncovers a horde of books apparently written by the Ancients. They tell a fantastic tale: The highly advanced Ancients may have once called themselves the Altera, and may have evolved in a far distant galaxy. The crew excavating the treasure also finds a piece of Ancient equipment, which Daniel believes is a communications device. Always eager to uncover more secrets of the Ancients, and excited by the possibility of visiting galaxies beyond the reach of the stargates, Daniel persuades Mitchell and Gen. Landry to let him test the machine. Within seconds, he and Vala — whose lives are still bound to one another by the Jaffa bracelets — drop to the ground, unconscious. Already developing a keen sense of how things work at Stargate Command, Mitchell deduces that this is a bad sign and puts the two under medical supervision. Similarly worried, Teal'c skips a critical meeting of the new Jaffa council to stay by his friend Daniel's side. Meanwhile, Daniel and Vala find themselves inhabiting the bodies of two married villagers on a distant planet. Being married to Vala — in even the remotest possible sense — gives Daniel the creeps, even before he learns that the villagers are devout worshippers of all-powerful and unforgiving beings called the Ori. What's worse, the two people whose bodies Daniel and Vala are inhabiting are suspected of heresy against these mysterious gods. Before long, Vala ends up chained to a sacrificial altar, about to be burned to death by the village's Administrator and his fanatical followers. Restrained by the vehement villagers, there's nothing Daniel can do but watch in horror as the flames are lit. Back on Earth, Mitchell and the others are watching, too, as Vala slips toward death. Because of the bracelets, if she dies, so will Daniel. Apparently, only divine intervention can save the pair now....

Those jeans are fab, I think you've mentioned them before. I don't think I've ever shopped with Uniqlo but I'm going to have to take a look! As for the jacket! What a find!

Im very good at charity shopping! The real trick is to just keep looking and trying. Many people say to me they never find anything in those shops. However, when you ask them they say theyve looked once in their life! i used to think if you go to posher areas the clothes are better, and i still find this to be true. however, some charities now send clothes to one main warehouse and distribute across the country so its not always true. you can get better quality clothes for the same price as the cheaper brands, but obviously, you are limited to sizes, colours etc. ask if they have a delivery day so you know when new stock will arrive
