 poses a new challenge.

					  <description><![CDATA[ The roller-coaster ride labeled &ldquo;2008&rdquo; is over at last. But will its replacement be just as wild? Or are we in for a
 calmer time in 2009? It&rsquo;s impossible to know what lies ahead, though any number of &ldquo;experts&rdquo; will offer forecasts ranging from a rebound to more gloom and doom. Which will
 be on the mark, or out in left field, won&rsquo;t be known until several pages of that new calendar have been ripped off the]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ The old adage is  that it takes a village to raise a child. Think about that&mdash;it takes many people, working together, to do what&rsquo;s right for just one child. It&rsquo;s about teamwork. The same philosophy can be applied to running a successful
 community association&mdash;it also takes teamwork and each member of the team has his or her own
 responsibility. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ When it comes to property management firms, sometimes bigger is better. And
 sometimes, small is what you need. And sometimes, as Goldilocks discovered,
 something somewhere in the middle can be just right. Whether it&rsquo;s large companies with hundreds of managers or a boutique firm with a handful of
 staff, when it comes to choosing what type of management firm is right for you
 there can be pros and cons on both sides of the coin. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ A lot of employers who don&rsquo;t bother with appraisals decline to do so becausethey are &ldquo;too busy.&rdquo; The excuse is that there is always a more productive use of their time. While
 this is rarely true, as best practices have consistently shown, it is excusable
 if the job is being done well. But what if it&rsquo;s not?

					  <description><![CDATA[While New York City is defined by its classic architecture and familiar skyline, Boston is defined by its unique collection of neighborhoods and ethnic diversity. Twenty-one neighborhoods make up Boston proper and to find out a little more about each individual enclave, we went to Mayor Thomas Menino&#8217;s Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS) to get a little flavor of what makes this cosmopolitan city tick. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Consensus holds that Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has it all. Not content with a distinguished naval history only, the city of about 20,000 has blossomed like the strawberries once did on the banks of the Piscataqua River. Now, while remaining conscious and protective of its historical assets, it provides a welcoming haven for a diversity of art and business. It has been aptly nicknamed &#8220;The City of the Open Door.&#8221; ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Conflict among neighbors is something every property manager must face. As long as people have different viewpoints and varied lifestyles, they will argue and bicker and call each other names. Add to that the close living quarters of some New England condominiums, and the problems can get even worse. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s a neighbor&#8217;s barking dog or a backed-up toilet, the problems of condominium owners and residents are always personal. Their homes are a haven&#8211;and an investment&#8211;so at times, even an easily-solved issue can feel like a catastrophe. And like it or not, catastrophes always land on the property manager&#8217;s desk.&#8220;Issues are always emotionally charged when you&#8217;re dealing strictly with a person&#8217;s living arrangements. The only person they can take it out on, if you will, who is not another resident or neighbor, is the property manager. The manager is really the only person who is obligated to listen, at least to a point,&#8221; says Julie Adamen, a 25-year veteran of the community management industry and the founderof Adamen, Inc, a nationwide consulting and employment firm specializing in manager placements. ]]></description>
