Hello all, my name is Daniel Berzon. I am currently in the beginning of a 25 week contest preparation. I had competed earlier this year but didn't hire a coach. I knew in order for me to reach my goal, I had to hire a coach. I found out Paul Revelia of Pro Physique was taking in clients to coach for contest preparation. He had superior credentials and knew I could trust him to lead me in this prep. I am 21 years old have been lifting seriously for 3-4 years now. I have adopted learnings from some of the most trusted names in bodybuilding such as Layne Norton, Team 3DMJ and others. I have always followed the sport natural bodybuilding, but just recently decided to finally get on the internet and create a contest prep blog- recommended to by Paul. I am 6'2 242-245 pounds and roughly 16% bf. I have always had a passion for lifting and nutrition and always have put forth 100% effort in those two aspects. I always hit the gym with all full energy and effort, as well as implement proper nutrition and supplementation in my every day life. For the most part I tend to not fall into the many "bodybuilding nutritional myths" that seem to be very popular amongst many people- example: high reps should be used to get cut. I am in college now and try my best not to let "college" effect my bodybuilding career. It will be difficult but I will get through these 25 weeks with out it effecting my prep.
As of right now my starting macros for this prep are 270 protein, 250 carbs, and 60 fat. This week is primarily being used to asses what my proper macros should be for the prep- Thanksgiving will be a fun day with a food scale lol. Now that I have my own apartment, I will try my best to spice up the foods for this prep- of course using healthier food choices as well as fitting it all into my macros. Last prep was very tough for me mentally, due to the fact I had very limited choices of food- chicken and oatmeal all day lol.
As of now I am not on a certain program. I believe I have a good grasp on how my body reacts to certain exercises and will focus my work outs to improve my weaknesses. I will of course track my lifts. As the work out progresses in weeks to come, I will implement different techniques (dropsets, pause sets, negatives etc)and exercises. I will be open of any suggestions made to me and will love to discuss my training styles and techniques. This is a big reason I am making this blog- to find others opinions and to hopefully help others in any aspects of lifting or nutrition. I am also very excited to learn from all the brilliant minds out there!
Apparently I am not able to post pictures in my post yet because I dont have over 50 posts yet- But please feel free to check on my bodyspace for all of my pre-diet pics!! I will hopefully get 50 soon so I can post pics ASAP.
My training right now will the good ole body building style- muscle grouped training. Right now being Upper back/Traps---Chest/Bis---Legs---Delts/Tris---Off from lifting/cardio/abs...repeat. I have seen great success and gains from lifting this way and have always tracked my work outs to make sure theres a progress in mu numbers as well.

Incline DB press- 110-10, 115-8, 120-8, 125-7

5 Chicago Banks: How Our Picks Fared
Shares of PrivateBancorp (PVTB) of Chicago closed at $10.74 Wednesday, for a year-to-date decline of 25%.
The company still owes $243.8 million in TARP money.FIG Partners analyst Christopher Marinac rates the shares "Market Perform," with an $11 price target, saying in November that with the shares trading at a significant discount to book value, "investors are seemingly ignorant of the company's significant progress on credit risk grade improvements." The analyst also said that "the company still requires additional capital to fund the repayment of TARP preferred but also permit external expansion of loan balances when economic conditions permit. A portion of this capital can be self -funded by retained earnings but likely additional shares must be considered at a future date in 2012 or 2013." Marinac estimates that PrivateBancorp will earn 45 cents a share in 2012 and 69 cents a share in 2013. The shares trade for 0.8 times their Sept, 30 tangible book value of $13.04, according to SNL, and for 17 times the consensus 2012 EPS estimate of 65 cents, among analysts polled by FactSet. Out of 14 analysts covering PrivateBancorp, four rate the shares a buy, while the remaining analysts all have neutral ratings. Interested in more on PrivateBancorp?

Sarepta CEO: Next Eteplirsen FDA Meeting in October
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. ( TheStreet) -- Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) CEO Chris Garabedian spoke to investors earlier this afternoon at the Morgan Stanley healthcare conference. He provided some incremental updates on the eteplirsen program in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Here are some of the highlights of Garabedian's investor chat:
-- Sarepta plans to take another set of muscle biopsy samples from the DMD patients in the phase II trial to provide FDA with additional data on dystrophin production. Biotech trader Dan Rosenblum has the right take on what this means:
-- On a related note, Garabedian dissed DMD rivals Prosensa (RNA) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) by pointing out the "low bar" used by the companies to assess dystrophin production in the "DEMAND-2" study of drisapersen.
FDA asking for another biopsy b4 $SRPT approval makes alot of sense maintaining dystrophin over 2 years would clearly show drug is working— Dan Rosenblum (@sharkbiotech) September 9, 2013

My poor DS was diagnosed with a mp allergy. We thought that was all, but now he has eczema all over his face, neck, chest, ankles, behind the knees, etc. Pedi has told me to cut out soy as well. For now, I plan to cut all soy. However, I read online that most babies can tolerate soy oil since there aren't proteins in it. Has anyone experienced this? My other question is that the pedi has still not mentioned an allergist referral. I plan to bring this up in January at his four month appointment. What has your pediatrician done regarding allergy testing?
PS- I am new to all of this and pretty shocked that he actually has these allergies. I was in denial for awhile!

City to pay people to get tested for HIV
NASHUA — As part of National HIV Testing Day, $10 gift cards will be offered today to anyone who is tested for the disease at two different sites in the city."We will be handing out $10 gift cards for Walmart or Market Basket. This is the first year we are really making a big campaign out of this," said Christine Villeneuve, nurse manager for the city's Division of Public Health and Community Services.
Anyone interested in being tested for HIV is encouraged to visit the city's mobile outreach van from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at 28 Railroad Square, the Laton House.
Testing will also take place from 3 to 9 p.m. at the city's health department, 18 Mulberry St.
All testing is free of charge, according to Villeneuve, who said the procedure takes about 20 minutes. Including registration, however, the entire process could be about 45 minutes.
"Hopefully we can reach somebody that needs our help," she said.
Today's initiative is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Know Your Status campaign.
For more information, call 589-4500.
In addition to this one-time free HIV testing event, the city's Division of Public Health and Community Services conducts weekly STD/HIV clinics from 3 to 6 p.m. each email@example.com

I'm trying to find a nanny for when I return to work in January. I set up three interviews this week with women who seemed interested in the position. I found them all on sittercity.com.
All three bailed. Two never showed up or even bothered to call, and one called to say she was sick and wanted to reschedule.
I'm so frustrated. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have advice?

Benchmarks make our degree unique
There is one benchmark course at each academic level for student learning that specifically targets the departmental competencies. You focus on competencies and skills as you work through a creative approach to your four-year degree.
First Year- Adjustment and Change Targeted Competencies: Self-Understanding and Knowledge of Discipline
The curriculum is creatively designed with a strong applied component to help students understand themselves. Unlike many other universities that begin their major sequence with a largely theoretical introduction survey course, our first course Adjustment and Change helps students in their personal lives understand and gain tools for adjusting to the challenges of living as they build relationships, develop careers, and search for meaning. Students are exposed to current concepts, theories, and research in the area of adjustment and change, and may participate in a ropes challenge, a whitewater rafting trip, or an overnight wilderness camping trip to experientially understand their own processes of coping and to try out new skills. This course is a pre-requisite for all other departmental courses.
Second Year-Sophomore Seminar Targeted Competencies: Critical Thinking and Professionalism
During the sophomore year, students take Sophomore Seminar: An Introduction to Professional Psychology. This course emphasizes critical thinking while it orients the student to the many career directions in our field and to the writing styles of modern, scientific psychology. Extensive field trips, guest speakers and individualized projects highlight some of the active learning components of this key course.
Third Year- Junior Portfolio Targeted Competency: Creative Expression
While outcome measures of the mastery of the six psychology competencies as well as the university competencies are demonstrated during the junior year in the C.E.O. (Competently Evaluating Outcomes) Junior Portfolio class an emphasis is placed upon creative expression. This one-credit course is based on the idea that students in psychology need to be the CEO of their own learning. The instructor simply facilitates the creation of an individualized junior portfolio in a group setting. Students create and compile evidence of their mastery of the competencies and produce a composite product of their previous learning experiences around a departmentally developed outline. This course is the gateway into their senior project work.
Fourth Year- Senior Project Targeted Competency: Activism and Professionalism
As a final demonstration of university and department competencies students in their final year determine a theme around which they have a passionate interest and implement and assess the activities of their project and present completed projects orally and in writing.

We our working to get the Winter issue out by the end of December.
Articles are being proofed and we are just tidying up the news.
Our thanks to our loyal team of proofreaders who give us their time and expertise to cast a fresh eye on the copy.
Everyone who subscribes to our newsletter will get an email letting them know when it is ready.
Rev. Alina and Rev. Berwyn
Summer Journal on the way soon.
We are pleased to let you know that the journal has been completed and is currently being converted into a MOBI file for e-book readers. The local company we have hired to do this work have a major project on and cannot complete until towards 11th July. We can in the meantime prepare the pdf version. This issue has an interesting mix of articles and lots of news and photos; more news on the contents will follow when we are ready to launch.
The Spring issue, our first digital journal, was downloaded by nearly 600 people in the first two months and 64 bought a kindle copy. We can see already that we are acquiring a wider readership with the more open access and the Amazon version.
Our mailing list for our newsletter, which gives notice and details of each upcoming journal once it is ready, is over 300 and rising every day. If you have not yet subscribed, you can do so at the e-newsletter sign up.
Thank you for your interest and all good wishes from the Journal monks
Rev. Alina and Berwyn
3rd April: We are glad to announce that the first digital version of the Journal is now available.
The Journal is now available as a free pdf download, and as a kindle eBook from Amazon, US version for $3.43, (£2.06, UK version – also available worldwide). We receive 70 % of the Amazon price to help cover the cost of conversion to eBook format (£300 per issue).
It has been a long process with many monks and lay Sangha involved in considering the various options, developing the website, and offering advice on many aspects of the process.
So thank you to you all and I hope you benefit from the Journal in it's new form.
Rev. Berwyn and Alina
The Winter Journal was sent to the printers on the 2nd December. It takes at least a couple of weeks to get the Journal printed and delivered, so the Winter issue will most likely be mailed out after Christmas, around the 2nd January.
This will be the last printed version of the Journal, the next issue will be available from the website as a download and an ebook version will also be made available. For further details sign up to our email newsletter.
The 2nd December was also the day we celebrated the festival of the Buddha's Enlightenment here at Throssel Hole. Here is a picture of our Altar for the ceremony, and I wish you a Happy Enlightenment day, and a peaceful Christmas break.
In Gassho,
Rev. Berwyn
Just a reminder that you can sign up to our new email newsletter at this page: http://journal.obcon.org/e-newsletter-sign-up/ and on that page there is a link to previous issues of the newsletter if you want to catch up on the news about the Journal. The autumn newsletter is now available to view, and covers such topics as ebook formats and options for printing on demand.
I hope you find it useful.
In Gassho,
Rev. Berwyn
The Summer Journal was sent by FTP to the US printers on 2nd July and will go to the UK printers today. I expect the UK printers will have it ready within two weeks, so it should be mailed out by mid-July. It may take a little longer for the US version to be mailed out.
My apologies for the delay in getting this issue out.
In Gassho,
Rev. Berwyn
Dear Subscribers,
The Summer issue is running few weeks late, but we have all the articles and the news just about ready to go, so it should be mailed out by mid/late July.
Sorry for the delay this time.
Best wishes,
Rev. Berwyn
The Spring issue of the Journal was sent to the printers this weekend 9/3 so should be ready to mail out early-mid April.
We have articles covering several areas relevant to practice, including :
- Serene Reflection meditation
- Patience
- Right speech applied to emails and internet use
- Dealing with the opposites when listening to the news etc.
- 'Bowing to what comes'
Please Note: the news deadline for the Summer issue will be the 21st May.
The Winter 2012-13 issue is ready to mail out to UK and Europe, we have it back from the printers and are just waiting for some help during the New Year retreat at Throssel to mail it: so it should reach subscribers from around the 2nd Jan. The US issue was sent to the printers at the end of November and should be mailed at roughly the same time.
Our thanks to all our readers for your support and we wish you 'All the Best' for 2013!(picture Amida triad over the West Allen Valley – acrylic on board)
As we announced in the Autumn 2012 Journal news, we are researching different ways of distributing the Journal electronically, so we can avoid the hefty costs of mailing and printing whilst maintaining quality. This is likely to take some time as we to look carefully at the various options to see what will work best for our readers.
We have been looking in to how we can turn Journal articles into formats that can be read on ebook readers and tablets. Some of the feedback we have had suggests that some people find it easier to read on ebook readers (that allow you to resize the font whilst keeping the same page size) than on a computer. Some who are partially sighted are really looking forward to having versions available that have larger text, or even can be read out through an ebook reader or computer.

Asks President Bush to help communities damaged by storm
"This storm has brought much financial hardship to those communities who are still recovering from the last declared flood events of May 2006 and October 2005," Governor Patrick wrote in his letter. "I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary."
Following the storm, a Joint Preliminary Damage Assessment was conducted by Federal Emergency Management Agency and Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency teams to determine the extent of infrastructure damage caused by both coastal and inland flooding in the most impacted counties. They have examined dams, bridges, public roadways, and public facilities.
Preliminary damage estimates exceed $10 million with the most severe damage to public roadways, bridges, seawalls and revetments.
If successful, the Public Assistance Program would reimburse communities located within the eight counties with a 75 percent federal share of the costs for the repair, restoration and/or reconstruction of public facilities and infrastructure, as well as flood-related overtime costs for first responders.
Due to the excellent mitigation steps taken following the floods of 2005 and 2006, the amount of damage suffered by individual homeowners and businesses was far less than in previous storms. To help some of the residents and businesses rebuild, Governor Patrick also has requested that the Small Business Administration (SBA) declare Essex County a disaster area for Physical and Economic Injury. SBA loans would provide an important source of financing for uninsured or under-insured commercial and residential members of the community.
A survey of local families and businesses, conducted by MEMA estimated that the damage exceeds the SBA's criteria of at least 25 primary residences and/or businesses with uninsured losses of 40 percent or more of their estimated replacement value in a qualifying county.
If approved by the SBA, long term, low interest infrastructure loans of up to $200,000 could be granted to credit-worthy homeowners and $1.5 million for business owners, helping them to bridge gaps that may exist in their insurance coverage. Similar loans for personal property are capped at $40,000.

Coneygree is likely to have an entry in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle in the absence of four-time winner Big Buck's.
Mark Bradstock's exciting novice maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles in impressive style at Cheltenham on Saturday, proving his stamina in no uncertain terms.
His Festival opportunities had looked to be either the Neptune Novice' Hurdle or the Albert Bartlett, but connections will now consider taking on his elders in the World Hurdle.
"He's very full of himself and while he doesn't like being told to take it easy he will have a quiet two weeks now," said Sara Bradstock, the Oxfordshire trainer's wife and assistant.
"He will have one run before the Festival - hopefully it will be around the end of January, or maybe something like the Challow Hurdle (Newbury).
"He's earned a crack at a race like that, but it depends how he is.
"He was most impressive (on Saturday). We wanted to see if he'd stay three miles and I don't think there's any doubt now.
"It is wonderful for the future to know there are no stamina doubts.
"He actually works better on good ground at home but like his brother (Carruthers) he likes the fact the soft ground slows the others down.
"In answer to the question, 'Would we be tempted by the World Hurdle now there is no Big Buck's?', I suppose we'd have to be.
"He'll certainly have the entry, and I know a few of the owners would be keen, but it may be better to keep our powder dry."

SurveyThe city needs help in qualifying neighborhoods to be eligible for improvements with community development block grant funds. If you received a survey, please complete it and mail it back in the envelop provided.
For more information on the CDBG survey please call 512-341-3328.
The CDBG programThe Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG) is a federal grant program to help communities address the most serious challenges facing their communities. These grant funds assist very-low, low and moderate-income houseeholds adn individuals by providing much needed services, housing and facilities. The program was established by the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 USC 5301) and is administered nationally by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program is one of the longest continuously running programs at HUD.
Download the 2013-2014 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) (PDF)
The CDBG program is a flexible program, providing communities with funds and resources to address the particular needs of their communities. Proposed uses of CDBG must directly benefit low- and moderate-income people, prevent or eliminate slums or blight, or otherwise address an urgent threat to health or safety. CDBG funds may be used for community development activities (such as real estate acquisition, relocation, demolition, rehabilitation of housing and commercial buildings); construction of public facilities and improvements (such as water and sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of school buildings); public services and economic development and job creation/retention activities.
The annual appropriation for the CDBG program is split between the states and more than 1,000 local jurisdictions called entitlement communities. Entitlement communities may be the central cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) defined by the Census, other cities with populations of at least 50,000, or qualified urban counties with populations of at least 200,000 (excluding the populations of entitled cities). Smaller cities and unincorporated areas are served through their state's CDBG program. HUD determines the amount of each community's grant with a formula incorporating objective measure of community needs, including population, the extent of poverty and overcrowded housing, age of population and housing and lagging growth in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
CDBG in Round RockIn 1998, the City of Round Rock was designated as an entitlement city by HUD. The City has used its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide housing programs, infrastructure, parks, entrepreneurial opportunities and public services to assist low and moderate income residents. In FY 2012-2013 the City received $482,431 in CDBG funds.
The Home Repair Program is funded entirely with CDBG funds. Other public and private programs and projects that have received Round Rock CDBG funds over the years include:
Although these programs directly benefit individuals and families, the entire community benefits indirectly through the CDBG program's investment in its health, safety and stability.

The following article first appeared in the Winter 2002 Newsletter of the AOMAlliance
By Matthew D. Bauer,L.Ac.
The name "China" comes from "Chin", the name of the state whose Emperor first unified China after conquering the fighting independent states bringing an end to the "Warring States" period (423-221 BCE). Before that term began to be applied to that region and its people, the Chinese referred to their region as the "Middle Land" or the "Central Territory". Many historians believe the ancient Chinese called their homeland the Middle Land because they thought China was the center of the earth. While some Chinese may have thought this way, I feel it more likely this practice had a much deeper, and very ancient, meaning.
…Ancient Taoist philosophy is full of references to a mysterious middle ground, a state of being "in between" one reality and another. This concept was known by several different names including "divine door", "heavenly gate", "mystical pass", "divine pivot", etc. When you consider that gates and doors are passageways between one thing and another, it is obvious this concept is not concerned with a physical or geographic "middle" but rather, the potential for transformation. The traditional names of dozens of acupuncture points have terms that reflect this concept such as Life Gate (GV-4), Jade Pivot (CV-21), Stone Pass (KI-18), and the somewhat redundant Pass Gate (ST-22).
Taoist holistic philosophy stresses that all creation is interconnected comprising one great whole. Interestingly, modern science has begun to turn from a mechanistic view of nature toward a holistic view. The mechanical view of nature gained prominence with the theories put forth by such great scientists as Newton and Descartes in the 17th and 18th centuries and has been the dominant view of scientists and the general public ever sense. Throughout the later 20th century however, the cutting edge of scientific thought has been quietly developing theories in which all things are seen as interconnected. From the smallest scale of quantum physics to largest scale of astrophysics, holistic interconnectedness is rapidly gaining ground in nearly every field of science.
"A human being is part of the whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – - a kind of optical illusion in his consciousness."(Albert Einstein from the Quotation Page.com)
If all creation is interconnected then everything is truly "in between" everything else. All ground is a middle ground – a door or gate connecting it with all else. The ancient Taoists discovered a most important feature of interconnecting gates: they are not all equal. Some gates connect things that are very similar to one another so passing through such a gate is hardly noticeable. Other gates connect things that are so different; passing through these gates is nothing short of a mystical experience.
Modern science has been mystified by some of these gates also. For example, it is well known that water can be changed from a liquid to a solid (ice) or a gas (steam) depending on its temperature. Lowering or raising the temperature of water molecules throughout 99.99% of the range water remains a liquid, changes the nature of those molecules in predictable ways that are proportional to the change in temperature. Yet scientist have not been able to find any mechanism to explain why lowering or raising the temperature of water molecules past their critical threshold (gate) should cause them to suddenly jump from one state of existence to another. Scientists call these mystical jumps "phase transitions" and they represent just one of several phenomena that are forcing scientists to change their mechanical view of nature.
…Another concept of modern science that deals with mysterious gates is known as the "Butterfly Effect". This term was coined in the 1960's within the field of meteorology from the following concept: A butterfly flaps its wings in China, causing a chain reaction of meteorological consequences that causes a thunderstorm in Kansas, one month later. The Butterfly Effect describes what scientists call "systems that are sensitive to initial conditions". In such systems, a tiny stimulus at just the right (pivotal) point can cause a domino effect leading to dramatic changes that are disproportionate (from a mechanical point of view) to the initial stimulus. The idea that a very small stimulus is capable of causing dramatic changes is now considered scientific fact.
The concept that everything is a gate connected to everything else and that some gates wield special influence over a whole system is central to the theory of acupuncture. Chi circulates throughout every cell of the body and thus has the potential to get stuck at any spot, yet the most common or pivotal stuck spots have been singled out and termed "acupuncture points". Hua Ching Ni has stated that the human body has 36,000 acupuncture points yet the Chinese designated only 360 or so as "regular" points – those most pivotal – while recognizing several hundred relatively less pivotal as "extra" or "extraordinary". In treatment, acupuncturists select a limited number of points to effect healing and will sometimes chose the less common extra points over regular ones. Point selection therefore, is based on the skill of being able to recognize the most pivotal of the pivotal points at any given time within a dynamic, fluctuating system.
…I believe human beings are systems that are sensitive to initial conditions and that the best acupuncture points are those that cause a Butterfly Effect stimulating a healing phase transition. Not every butterfly in China will cause a thunderstorm in Kansas and not every change in water temperature will cause a phase transition – you have to know how to pick your spots.
…It's exciting to see modern science developing a holistic view of nature and coming to grips with the concept of mystical doors or gates, but it remains to been seen if this trend will take modern science to where Taoist science has always been focused: Spirituality.
…The ancient Chinese were convinced that in addition to the physical world there exists a spiritual realm and the goal of life on earth was to connect with this realm. To do this one must discover and then pass through the most mystical of all doors – those that connect the temporal, physical world with the eternal, spiritual realm (the ultimate phase transition). In order to transform from physical to spiritual, the physical, mental and spiritual essences (chi) must be perfectly balanced. An important component of achieving this is to harmonize one's internal environment with one's external environment. This is why the Chinese referred to their place of birth as the Middle Land. People are a product of their environment thus their environment can serve as a gate leading to the spiritual realm. Taoist folk history told of countless generations of ancient Masters who spiritualized their beings after harmonizing themselves with the chi of the high mountains or deep forests in the Chinese heartland.
…All the Taoist holistic arts and sciences were designed with such transformation as their ultimate goal. In essence, these practices have a dual role, serving physical needs while providing those who master these skills the potential for spiritual breakthroughs. The spiritual aspects of acupuncture have not been emphasized recently in the Middle Land or in other countries where the potential scientific "mechanisms" of acupuncture are the focus. Acupuncture itself is undergoing a type of phase transition as it rapidly evolves from an ancient regional art into a modern worldwide phenomenon. As acupuncture undergoes this transformation, I hope its spiritual roots will not be forgotten and that acupuncturists will continue to learn that the skills used to find the pivotal doors to healing can also be applied in the search for the Mystical Pass between Heaven and Earth.

Stackpole & Partners: Advertising Agency
Building brands since 1995.
Stackpole Launches New Website for cbanc Network
April 19th, 2011
Newly Designed Website for cbanc Network
With help from Stackpole & Partners, the cbanc Network took the wraps off a completely revamped version of its
that better reflects the active and collaborative nature of the online community and builds on cbanc's charter to become the definitive search engine for banking knowledge.
The cbanc Network is a secure, online community where bank and credit union professionals meet to collaborate and trade content in a virtual marketplace. The network, which offers free membership and contains the largest repository of banker-authored, board-approved, exam-tested content anywhere, serves as the go-to resource for bank professionals so they don't have to recreate the wheel every time they develop new resources for their financial institution.
Stackpole's strategy for the web project centered around trading up the older static cbanc site, which primarily defined the community and how it worked, with a completely redesigned, interactive approach that showcases the broad range of high-quality, peer-generated content. The website redesign was also intended to infuse a strong sense of community among cbanc's growing audience, adding new dynamic and social elements that would promote collaboration and generate new interactive experiences.
Says Myers Dupuy, President at cbanc Network, "Stackpole combined their knowledge of social media and the banking industry to craft and deliver just the right message for our market. By showcasing community activity and content, they built a website for us that lets a visitor understand the value of cbanc without having to read a lot of marketing."
Stackpole President
Pete Stackpole
believes the community banking market is ripe for a collaborative resource like the cbanc Network and is pleased to be a key partner on its journey. "Cooperation is key to their survival; community banks and credit unions need to harness the power of their collective intelligence and resources to stack up against the big guys", Stackpole says. "The banking market is highly competitive so everyone needs to be running lean and mean. This is a tool that lets them create more work product with fewer human resources."
In addition to the new website, cbanc also tapped Stackpole to create a new brand architecture, revamp its messaging platform, create a positioning tagline and build out an expanded color palette.
Located in downtown Newburyport, Stackpole & Partners is a full-service strategic marketing communications firm with clients throughout the United States. Stackpole has provided its services to national clients such as LexisNexis, Wolters Kluwer, Holland & Knight, Merchants Leasing, Perseus Athletics, cbanc Network and Riker Danzig, as well as to New England-based businesses Fiduciary Trust, Agenta Consulting and Nutter McClennen & Fish.

We may have an idealized vision of retirement in our heads: days spent golfing, traveling, and enjoying the company of friends and family. But unfortunately for many of us, retirement may not be nearly so carefree. Working part-time after retiring is one way that many retirees are supplementing their retirement income and fighting the potential ennui of no longer having a self-defining career.
However, working part-time during retirement can affect your Social Security benefits. Here's what you need to know about Social Security's rules and limits if you continue drawing a paycheck after applying for benefits:
Timing Matters
There are many great reasons to wait for Social Security's full retirement age of 66, and the effects of part-time income on your benefits is one of them. If you begin drawing benefits as soon as you're eligible (at age 62), not only will you be receiving reduced benefits based on how many months you are from full retirement age, but you'll also see a reduction in benefits based on your part-time income.
In particular, those retirees working part-time who are younger than 66 will see $1 deducted from their benefits for each $2 they earn over the current limit of $15,120. (That income limit is the case for 2013, and the amount is re-adjusted each year for inflation).
What's more, Social Security does not simply reduce your monthly benefits throughout the year if you're working part-time. Instead, your benefits will be completely withheld until you've reached the full benefit reduction amount. What this means is that you could go half the year with no Social Security benefits, but you'll receive your full benefits for the second half of the year.
If, however, you begin drawing benefits during the same year that you reach full retirement age, the part-time income limit is higher ($40,080 for 2013) and the amount your benefits are reduced is lower — $1 for every $3 you earn above that amount. In addition, you'll only see a reduction in benefits until you reach your full retirement age, at which point you can keep all of your benefits, no matter how much you're earning.
Return of Withheld Benefits
On the plus side, however, the benefits that were withheld while you were working part-time before age 66 aren't gone forever. According to the Social Security Administration, "If some of your retirement benefits are withheld because of your earnings, your benefits will be increased starting at your full retirement age to take into account those months in which benefits were withheld."
So it's important to remember that if you have to take benefits early while still bringing in a paycheck, you can still see your full benefits when you're ready to more fully retire at age 66 or older.
Tax Considerations
Of course, working during retirement can also cause some added tax complications. Social Security benefits are taxable if you and your spouse have a combined income greater than $32,000. Taxpayers filing jointly who are eligible for Social Security will have to pay taxes on 50% of their benefits if they earn between $32,000 and $44,000 per year. Above $44,000 per year in earnings, and the couple will have to pay taxes on up to 85% of their Social Security benefits.
The Bottom Line
Working part-time in retirement can be a great way to stretch out your retirement savings and keep a hand in your career. But, when doing your retirement planning, it's important to know how continuing to work can affect your benefits.
Are you planning on working part-time after you retire?

Ray Bradbury to Yahoo: 'To hell with the Internet!'
"The Internet is a big distraction," said Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, while speaking out in defense of libraries in The New York Times. Bradbury was being interviewed prior to a public appearance benefiting Ventura County's H.P. Wright Library, which is in danger of shutting its doors because of budget cuts.
"Yahoo called me eight weeks ago," he said. "They wanted to put a book of mine on Yahoo! You know what I told them? 'To hell with you. To hell with you and to hell with the Internet.'"

Anworth Announces Increase To Series B Preferred Stock Conversion Rate
Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation (NYSE: ANH) announced today that, in accordance with the terms of Anworth's 6.25% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B Preferred Stock, the conversion rate of the Series B Preferred Stock will increase from 3.8695 shares of Anworth's common stock to 3.9202 shares of its common stock effective July 9, 2013.
As previously announced on June 28, 2013, Anworth's board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.15 per share, which is payable on July 29, 2013 to holders of record of common stock as of the close of business on July 8, 2013. When Anworth pays a cash dividend during any quarterly fiscal period to its common stockholders in an amount that results in an annualized common stock dividend yield greater than 6.25% (the dividend yield on the Series B Preferred Stock), the conversion rate on the Series B Preferred Stock is adjusted based on a formula specified in the Articles Supplementary Establishing and Fixing the Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (and also available on the "Series B Pfd. Stock Conversion" page of Anworth's web site at http://www.anworth.com). As a result of this dividend, the conversion rate will increase from 3.8695 shares of Anworth's common stock to 3.9202 shares of its common stock effective July 9, 2013.

The US Airways Premier World Mastercard from Barclaycard is offering a 20% bonus on all earned miles from July 1 – August 31, 2014 and some lucky customers may be targeted with a 30% bonus in emails sent out this week. In addition, cardholders will receive a refund for all foreign transaction fees assessed during the same period.
The US Airways Premier card currently comes with a signup bonus of 40,000 miles after the first purchase and payment of the $89 annual fee.
Despite the annual fee charged for the first year, this card has a lot of upside. Some of the benefits will change in 2015 as US Airways completes its merger with American Airlines, but for now cardholders receive the first checked bag free, priority boarding, an annual $99 companion fare and more. Perhaps the most attractive benefit to me is earning the signup bonus after the first purchase instead of having to meet a spend requirement. This is especially pertinent to those who, like me, are working on meeting the $10,000 spend requirement in 3 months for the Citi Executive AAdvantage card (which appears to no longer be available).
The refunded foreign transaction fees are a nice gesture, but I prefer the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Barclaycard Arrival Plus for international travel, since those cards have chip technology and offer better returns, and always waive foreign transaction fees.
Note that the 20% bonus will be awarded in late September or early October, so you won't have immediate access to those miles in case you plan to use them right away. Typically the 40,000 mile signup bonus is awarded promptly (within one statement) after the first purchase is made and the annual fee is paid.
