| Father Foley Cape Cod abuse case settled For $550,000
The Archdiocese of Hartford agreed this week to pay $550,000 to a man who accused the Rev. Stephen Foley of using his position as Hartford County fire chaplain to sodomize him when he was a 14-year-old parishioner in Windsor Locks. Foley, who has been accused of abuse by at least 11 men since 1993 and was removed from public ministry in 2002, is still affiliated with the county fire organization he belonged to when the alleged assault occurred. He now holds the title of "chaplain emeritus" of the group, according to board members... The current president of the group is Windsor Locks Fire Chief Gary Ruggiero. Haber said Ruggiero sent an e-mail to the board of directors Friday criticizing the newspaper for publishing a story last Sunday that exposed Foley's continued use of a police-equipped Crown Victoria with flashing lights, sirens and scanners... abuse took place on a weekend when the boy and his friend accompanied Foley to a home on Cape Cod, which Foley said was owned by his aunt, the brief said.
Wealth management firm bets on MLPs
When Telemus Capital Partners LLC set up shop in Houston in late May, the Michigan-based wealth management company was eager to dip its toe into the master limited partnership pool. Investors tend to flock to MLPs spun off of well-known energy companies due to their high yields and cash distributions -- so Telemus was ready to plug its high-wealth clients into that financial pipeline. Four months later, despite a tough market environment during the summer that put the MLP investment space into an uncharacteristic funk, Telemus has rolled out an MLP hedge fund vehicle. Greg Reid, CEO of Telemus' Houston division and fund portfolio manager, says the firm's high-net-worth clients already had exposure to multiple individual MLPs, so the fund, launched in the first week of October, is an extension of that business.
A fighting chance
From the skull on his shirt to his own gleaming noggin to the tattoo of a grinning demon on his enormous right biceps, John Rallo looks decidedly like someone you would never want to mess with.
And that's part of the truth of his existence. He's bounced drunks from local pubs, knocked out other dangerous men inside steel cages and even guarded rock star Tommy Lee on tour.
But listen to Rallo talk about the philosophy he imparts to his students at the Ground Control mixed martial arts gym in Canton, and you realize that there's more to his story.
