The Political
Branding Issue
Editorial Staff
The Creative Issue
The Digital Issue
What's in Store
for 2013
In that same spirit, branding is how America unlocks its objectives and delivers its 'products' (governance, aid, stimulus, trade, etc.) to its 'audiences' (Citizens, elected officials, businesses, foreign governments, etc.). In order to do this, the President acts as a spokesperson for the brand of America by embodying the expression through which the historical position of America, the objectives of the current administration and it's ruling political party, and the immediate goals of the President as an individual are delivered. Let's unpack the branding of America, and look at it through the lenses of consumer branding and political strategy.
During the primaries a candidate builds a unique brand for him/herself that stems from political party, but is also infused with his/her own unique elements. This brand is typically defined enough to have clear differentiation, but vague enough to leave room for evolution. This year we saw this in full-color during the Republican primaries as Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney competed to win the support of their party while vigorously latching on to key differentiators that could be used to elevate their brands over the competition.
Once a party chooses its candidate (aka the party's spokesperson), the candidate's unique brand is essentially merged with the party's brand to create a new brand. Assuming this is not a mid-term election, you now have two major new brands (candidates) competing for the presidency.
Exactly what happens to these brands after the election is tricky, because they are becoming the spokesperson for America, and America already has a brand. I like to think of this like two companies who are competing to be acquired by a larger company.
The core equities of each brand would typically need to be integrated with the brand that is acquiring them, but in this case we know that the brand doing the acquiring will be more dominant than the brand being acquired (think AT&T/Cingular). The brand of America has a legacy, core equities, and brand positioning that exist irrespective of political parties and Presidential brands.
Presidents traditionally were not scrutinized the way they have been since the invention of TV. This condition has given rise to the 'permanent campaign' that is imposed on (or as I like to think, inflicted on) all modern presidents.
As the first President in the era of social media, George W. Bush perfected the execution of the permanent campaign – constantly engaging his audiences, communicating his positions, protecting against competitive threats, and gearing up for the next election. Simultaneously, only since the emergence of social media have consumer brands been put in the same situation. Brands are now fully in the public space, easier to engage with, seen as co-owned entities with customers, and are likewise becoming their own spokespeople on a permanent campaign with their audiences.
Like most brands, America also has many audiences. As with consumer brands, it is crucial for the President to deliver the right message to the right audience in the right way. In order to do that the President must have the variety and complexity that comes from the core of America's brand.
With that said, there still must be a signal that a new brand has emerged. With consumer brands it may be a new way of looking and speaking, a change in products and services, or a shift in business strategy to new market areas. With the brand of America, it's done through cabinet assignments, policy changes, diplomatic relations, and legislative policy.
We saw this with the 'day one' promises from President Obama during the 2008 election to close Guantanamo Bay, and now with Mitt Romney pledging to officially list China as a currency manipulator. With these changes, there is a need for communication and storytelling in order to avoid misunderstanding and distrust – giving other brands new opportunities to compete.
The general public may support a new candidate in the same way consumers buy new products. Foreign leaders may build new alliances in the same way industry peers and competitors manage strategic relationships. Industries may become less cooperative in the same way supply chains become less accommodating.
As we have seen, every brand has a story. When there is no brand story being told, one will be told in its place, which often creates gaps between a brands perception and performance in the eyes of its audiences.
President Obama has actually cited storytelling as one of the most important missed opportunities so far in his presidency. In a clear effort to correct that we saw an immense focus on story telling during the Democratic National Convention about President Obama's personal brand, the brand of the Democratic Party, and President Obama's vision for the brand of America. The DNC was sort of like an annual report. Now it's time to see how the market reacts.
At Interbrand we believe that brands have the power to change the world. They shape our everyday lives by influencing our decisions, changing our behaviors, and setting new expectations for what we believe is possible.
No brand has such a far-reaching and deeply embedded impact on the world than the brand of America. America shapes our lives in ways that consumer brands cannot, and thusly has a greater level of risk and vulnerability.
Moreover, America is a brand that is in a constant state of change. Leadership changes every 4 to 8 years not only with a new President, but also with a new political party (usually). I would argue that this creates a lack of clarity, commitment, authenticity, consistency, and understanding that negatively impacts the strength of America's brand.
As leader of the country it is the President's responsibility to keep America's brand strong. As spokesperson for the brand the President must also ensure that brand perceptions align with brand performance.

Liked it
It is a wonderful product and a great price.
we have not slept on it yet,and I hope when we do it is great and does not go flat..
Extremely comfortable and seems very durable but it does lose a very small amount of air during the night.
The air bed is of nice size the only problem is it leaks air from the air pump control area and looks like it was not seal properly. I would like a replacement airbed if it is possible.

Rivals join forces for excellence in teaching program
Mississippi's two largest universities have joined forces to create an innovative program designed to attract the state's best and brightest students into the field of education through a private gift totaling more than $12.9 million.
The Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program, or MET, is a joint effort by the School of Education at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and the College of Education at Mississippi State University (MSU) and is funded by the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation in Jackson.
Designed to be the equivalent of an honors college for education majors, the program seeks to increase interest in middle and high school teaching as a career for top incoming freshmen and community college transfer students. The initial goal will be to attract high ability students who want to become mathematics and English teachers and to help meet the needs of new Common Core standards introduced in Mississippi last fall.

Read part one of this special "AgDay" report: Surviving the Texas Drought
The nation's second-largest canyon, once carved by running water, is now all but void of that life-sustaining resource. For the ranchers here, recovery seems beyond the scenic horizon.
"When we start getting a healing of the grass, we're going to have to rebuild some root systems," says Jay O'Brien, managing partner at JA Ranch.
This land is home to the oldest privately owned ranch in the Texas Panhandle, once covering more than a million acres. JA Ranch's history is what they hope will help secure their future, despite the hard-hitting drought.
"This ranch has been in the same family since 1876," he says. "Certainly, if we do anything to keep it from staying in the same family for another 100 years, then we're doing a poor job."
Many local ranchers have been forced to cull their herd, just waiting for the drought to pass. The latest USDA Crop Progress report shows 40% of the state's pasture and range in poor to very poor condition. In the Panhandle, the conditions are even worse than the state-wide numbers show.
Despite the crippling drought, JA Ranch has managed to keep its cows.
"I think a lot of people look at the short term, so they're not protected for the long term," O'Brien says.
O'Brie says rebuilding the native grasses, and not overgrazing, is key in helping this ranch continue to survive.
"We will not seed; this is native grass, and it's not economical to seed," he says. "We will just have to baby this ranch by running fewer numbers for some time to let the grass heal itself."
O'Brien says the heat is also an issue, attracting new pests that are demolishing this range.

by Joshua L. Miller; New York, Columbia University Press, 2012, 384 pages, $29.50
Dr. Crandell is a staff psychiatrist and medical officer at Four Corners Regional Health Center, Indian Health Service, Teec Nos Pos, Arizona.
Under his rather ungainly title, Joshua L. Miller offers a thoughtful and compelling alternative to what he terms "disaster mental health services." In constructing an almost daunting compendium of approaches and resources, he attempts to construct a "comprehensive model of disaster response" located within an exploration of the social ecology of disaster.
Beginning with the book's cover photo of a tent city in Haiti, the author establishes his street cred, noting his own extensive experiences beyond the earthquake in Haiti, such as Hurricane Katrina in the United States and other disasters in Sri Lanka, northern Uganda, and Sichuan Province, China. The structure of the book is such that the first six chapters describe the social ecology and phenomenology of disasters, and the remaining six chapters constitute how-to manuals for creating and implementing psychosocial capacity building. Each chapter concludes with a mindfulness exercise that parallels the chapter's content and offers a specific avenue of self-care to disaster workers, although it seems somewhat unclear how these prescriptive exercises relate to the overall structure of the book.
Miller's text is heavily referenced, and there are so many parenthetical references that they sometimes impede the flow of an otherwise articulate and clearly written narrative. This volume could serve as a textbook for a course related to disaster planning, a practical platform for informing proposed program development, or as an introduction to a more academic discussion of theories of disaster intervention, such as critical incident stress debriefing (CISD), critical incident stress management, and others.
Several sections of the book allude to the ongoing controversy about CISD, especially criticism leveled post–September 11. Although Miller notes the lack of evidence for inoculation against PTSD, he also argues for the subjective sense of relief which such debriefings deliver and their generally (although not completely) positive reception by disaster workers and victims.
One of Miller's most consistent interrogations of current disaster relief models is that the models are very often Western and Eurocentric and therefore have limitations as to their universality in both specific locales within the United States (Katrina) and internationally. Moreover, Miller argues that unintended consequences could result in recreation of colonial and neocolonial attitudes, particularly when disaster services are supplied and directed from "other" (read "North American and European") cultures.
There are some distractions within this text, such as a number of web- and wheel-designed illustrations summarizing Miller's main points but not necessarily enhancing the text. However, his recurrent emphasis on disaster worker self-care and the role of collective memorializing and his emphasis on human resiliency do much to advance his overall goal of describing how to build psychosocial capacity for dealing with human disasters. If clinicians find themselves interested in vicarious trauma, PTSD, and secondary PTSD, they will be well rewarded with a close reading of this book, in which Miller essentially teaches how to prevent compassion fatigue and promote compassion satisfaction on both a personal and organizational scale.
The reviewer reports no competing interests.

Older Moms Buck the Trend of Falling Birthrates
Ever since the CDC report on the nation's birthrates came out last week, I've been wondering about the fact that, while rates fell for nearly all age-groups of women (including teenagers), birthrates among women over 40 rose a robust four percent. Given that the media likes to scare and confuse us about the status of our fertility as we pass through our 30s and into the big 4-0, I wanted to clear my head and get some straight answers. So I spoke with Elizabeth Gregory, professor of women's studies at Houston University and author of "Ready: Why Women Are Embracing the New Later Motherhood." Gregory, who blogs about her work and also contributes to the Huffington Post and RH Reality Check, answered my questions via e-mail.
momlogic: The CDC is reporting that in 2008, the birthrates fell in every age group except for mothers over 40. As someone who has written about older motherhood, does this statistic surprise you?
Elizabeth Gregory: It's not surprising -- there's been a steady upward trend in the 35+ age group since the 1970s, whereas the other categories have fluctuated over the years. The birth control pill became widely available in 1960, and people (women and men) immediately started postponing births in order to invest in their educations, in climbing career ladders and in just seeing a little more of the world before settling down.
The upward trend also connects to our extended longevity: As people live longer, we have more of a sense that we can start later and still be around to see our kids grow up. That won't be true for all of us -- nothing is guaranteed, at any age -- but on average, it will be.
What is noteworthy in the 40 to 44 group is the size of the jump in the birthrate -- it's up 4 percent, whereas births overall were down 2 percent. Last year, the birthrate for women over 40 was only up 1 percent. It's still a small number-total compared to younger moms (we're talking about 113,756 babies), but it's a steadily expanding trend.
ml: Why do you think older mothers are the one group that has seen a rise in birthrates? Are older mothers less affected by the economic woes that many blame for falling birthrates among younger women?
EG: First, I want to note that it's not surprising that the overall birthrate went down; what was more surprising was the way it was going up in the past few years. We heard a lot of hoopla last year about how there were more people born in 2007 than ever before in the U.S. -- beating the record set at the height of the baby boom in 1957. Birthrates were up in all categories except the very oldest and the very youngest last year. There was lots of note taken that the teen birthrate went up in '06 and '07, whereas it had been falling in the 14 years prior -- and of course, a decline in the teen birthrate (as there was in 2008) will mean rises in the rates for women in older age groups down the line, since most women do go on to have kids eventually.
So it's not surprising that the overall birthrate is now almost back down to where it was two years ago. Keep in mind that after the arrival of the pill in 1960, the birthrate dropped 44 percent in 15 years (economics were also a factor). Ever since then, it's stayed within the range of 65 to 70 births per 1,000 fertile women. So when we say it's way up, that means it's in the 68 to 69 range instead of the 65 to 67 range, where it's been for the last 10 years. We're not talking really huge changes. So now it's back down to 68.7, whereas it was 69.5 last year -- and indications are that births also fell a good bit in 2009. In recessions, couples remember the birth control.
ml: So why didn't births to women over 40 fall?
EG: One factor would seem to be, as you note, that many of them are more economically well-off than younger moms -- though people in their 40s can also lose jobs in a recession. But more basically, they're less likely to feel that they can postpone and have kids later, given that infertility rates rise fast after 40. And there are a lot of women who've postponed into their early 40s -- and either want to have their first child (or a second or third child) before they can't do it without aid. And if they've passed the age of natural fertility (the 45- to 54-year-old group, plus some in the earlier group), they're open to trying assisted fertility, becoming mothers even into their 50s. Women over 40 have been thinking about it for a while, and they're ready.
ml: The CDC says that the over-40 birthrate has now reached highs not seen since 1967, but we tend to think of older motherhood as a new trend. What's different between the over-40 mothers of 1967 and today?
EG: Women have been having babies in their late 30s and 40s for millennia. What's new about later motherhood is women starting their families later. My maternal grandmother had a baby at 39 -- the same age that I had one, but it was her eighth (and last) child, and my first. My paternal grandma was a surprise sixth child to her parents, born when her mom was 46. Not everybody waits till they're 39 to start, but the average age at first birth is now 25, whereas it was 21 in 1970. If we have a first child later, that means more of us are also having second and third kids later.
The difference between now and 40 years ago is planning, made possible by birth control. Nowadays there are many fewer late "surprise" babies, since so many women now either continue using birth control until they're through with menopause or have hysterectomies or tubal ligations when they decide they've had their full complement of kids. Fifty-three percent of married women over 40 -- and 45 percent of married women over 35 -- are surgically sterile. So most births to later moms these days are planned, whereas in the past they were not so much.
In terms of life history, the difference between later moms today and those in 1967 is that today's later moms of all races tend to have fewer kids, to have been to college and to have spent a substantial amount of time employed. They are much more likely to be working while raising their kids, and the fact that they earn salaries means they have more say in household decision making. Like the 1967 moms -- but unlike moms aged 25 and younger today -- they are likely to be married or partnered for the long-term.
ml: What's your prediction for future birthrates among older moms?
EG: Preliminary indications are that the overall 2009 birthrate continued downward. We'll see next year whether the group of later moms continued their steady rise in 2009.
But whatever the short-term outcome in 2009, it is predictable that the rise in later moms will continue in years to come, because when births -- and especially first births -- to younger moms go down, as they have, it's pretty likely that in coming years, births to older moms will rise -- pent-up demand and all. If they're not having kids now, they'll have them later. It's hard to say how many kids they'll have -- there has been a big increase in the number of one-kid families among women starting in all age categories -- but most are still likely to want at least one.
Apart from that, the trend to later motherhood has been attractive to women in part because it has served them as a shadow-benefits system in a family-unfriendly business world. By delaying kids, they've had time to establish clout at work that allows them a flexibility they wouldn't get if they were starting their families while lower on the career ladder. In addition, it assures that their long-term salaries will be much higher than those of women who start earlier. Personally, they're more likely to have found a partner for the long-term. For all these reasons and more, it's likely that the trend will continue -- at least until enough women have trickled up into policymaking roles in business and government to change the infrastructure, so that women who want to can start their families earlier -- and still have a chance at a strong long-term career (whether or not they step out for a while when their kids are young).

Illinoisan of the Day
August 08, 2013
A northwestern Illinois woman will be honored this Friday at the state fair. Jean Ferris from Savanna has been named Illinoisan of the Day by the Illinois State Fair Museum Foundation.
A friend, Ron Johnston, nominated Ferris because of all of the volunteer work she's done for the Mississippi River town.
"She's the kind of person if you ask if she could help you, she says, 'Yes,'" said Johnston. "She doesn't say, 'What do you want me to do?' She just says, 'Yes.' And I find a lot of quality in her for just that kind of stuff. Lot of times you ask somebody and the first thing they want to know is what they got to do. They may or may not. But Jean, she doesn't ask, she just says, 'Yes.'"
Since retiring from a long career as an elementary school teacher in Savanna, Jean Ferris has taught herself how to apply grants, and secured funding for a historical museum in town she helped to establish.
Ferris says even though it'll be her special day this Friday at the Illinois State Fair, she's going down to Springfield to represent the people of Savanna.
"I'm just so honored and I'm very humbled," said Ferris. "I feel like there are many others who are deserving, but I just am very, very pleased. And I guess that's about all I can say. I have so much gratitude and love in my heart and support for everybody who has been showering me with cards and thanks, that I hope I just represent them well."
The State Fair Museum chose ten people to be honored as the Illinoisan of the Day for each day of the fair. Jean Ferris will be interviewed on the Farm Bureau Stage at the State Fair at noon on Friday, and also receive a proclamation by Governor Pat Quinn.

November 27, 2009 | Education
Afterschool Alliance National Kick Off Features Thinkfinity Demonstration
Fourteen million children in the United States (26 percent), including 40,000 kindergarten children, are on their own when the school day ends. That's why the Afterschool Alliance, a national organization dedicated to advocating for more investment in afterschool programs, and the U.S. Department of Education kicked off the annual "Lights on Afterschool" rally on Oct. 6 in Washington, D.C. The rally is being celebrated in 7,500 communities by one-million Americans to call attention to the importance of afterschool programs.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and 80 afterschool students from the D.C. area, as well as other government, business and nonprofit organizations attended. The Verizon Foundation, one of the event sponsors, challenged the students to participate in an interactive, afterschool program provided by Thinkfinity.org, called PowerUp! (See below).
In addition to celebrating and advocating for afterschool programs and recognizing the importance they play in a child's life, the event provided a platform for the release of key findings from the study, America After 3PM, presented by key sponsors, JC Penney and the Afterschool Alliance. Jodi Grant, executive director of the Afterschool Alliance, reported findings gathered from 30,000 households with school-age children. The study showed that in the last six years, demand for afterschool programs has increased, yet only 15 percent of K-12 schoolchildren are currently enrolled. Thirty-eight percent of students who are not enrolled would be, if there was a program available.
The Verizon Foundation has a longstanding commitment to and belief in the importance of afterschool education. Our signature initiative, Thinkfinity.org, is designed for afterschool programs, as well as in-school activities.
"Studies show that quality afterschool programs can improve school attendance and engagement in learning, raise test scores and improve grades, keep kids safe, help with social skills and self-esteem and make life easier for working families," said Patrick Gaston, president of the Verizon Foundation. "We are a huge supporter of using technology to create innovative afterschool resources for teachers, tutors and caregivers."
Verizon Foundation Powers Up to Reach Kids After School
Verizon's Thinkfinity.org is the centerpiece of an innovative new afterschool program created with a $2.2 million Verizon Foundation grant in partnership with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and the National Urban League (NUL).
The program's objective is to improve achievement and graduation rates among minority students by using culturally sensitive education resources, with an emphasis on literacy, math and science. It was introduced at CentroNia, an affiliate of NCLR in Washington, D.C., that provides education services in a bilingual and multicultural environment and is one of the pilot locations.
Children from CentroNia helped demonstrate the PowerUp! lesson, which challenges students to think critically about types of power supplies and consider their impact on the environment, their effectiveness, budget impact, etc.
Education experts from both organizations will work with content providers for Verizon's Thinkfinity.org to create special multimedia resources and test them in pilot programs at 12 locations. Following a review to determine which resources produce the best results, the program will be available online and through a Thinkfinity.org afterschool guidebook for the afterschool affiliates of both organizations. It will also be available free to the public on the Web site, www.thinkfinity.org.
"For today's students to reach their full potential, educators both inside and outside the classroom must find unique and compelling ways to reach them," said Janet Murguia, president and CEO of NCLR. "We're proud to partner with the Verizon Foundation and the National Urban League to create a dynamic, afterschool education initiative that focuses on real-world, relevant themes to reach youth."

Awesome product!!
Sarah from Cottage Grove, WI– Verified Buyer
I thought this Stuffed Animal Bag seemed like an incredible idea, and I am even happier with it now that we have gotten them! I had been searching for something to store my kids many stuffed animals in - they are 13 and 10, and no longer play with their stuffed animals, but they refuse to get rid of them yet! This item is PERFECT because they can keep the animals, and if the window side is placed down, it just looks like any other big pillow in their room. Very cool! Yes, it's a little costly, but it's high quality, and you can't really put a price on organization!!
Sarah from Illinois
I bought one for each of my children and they both love it! I am so pleased that the shipping time was accurate and the product quality is excellent.
Haven't really used it yet
Marla Drucker from Asheville, NC– Verified Buyer
Procrastinating again. I only put one stuffed animal in it so far. It seems OK. I'm saving my stuffed animals for possible future grandchildren.

As many seniors learn, retirement can be as stressful and frustrating a time as any when it comes to paying taxes. With 401ks and traditional and Roth IRAs, as well as Social Security benefits and working wages, there's plenty to calculate on a tax return.
So how can the retirement crowd cut down on their tax bills? Analysts say it starts with managing your money.
"Retirees usually have a bit more control over their tax situation than other taxpayers," says Steven Gershon, a director at the Kansas City, Kan., office of the accounting and financial services firm CBIZ MHM. "That's because they can decide how much they might need to withdraw from their retirement plans to keep their taxes low."
Delay, delay, delay
Most experts agree that delaying withdrawals from a 401k or traditional IRA until you are 70½ is best for taxpayers because it lets these plans grow tax-deferred. Taxes on withdrawals from these plans are eventually taxed at ordinary income rates, but that can increase by more than 10% if withdrawals occur before age 59 1/2.
This is where a Roth IRA can help, says Mike Scholz, the tax director at Wegner CPA. Funds in a Roth can be withdrawn by age 59 when needed, tax-free, if the account has been open for at least five years.
"If a retiree doesn't have a current Roth IRA, it's worth it to see if a rollover from an existing IRA or employer plan to one makes sense," Scholz says. "They have tax-free growth and tax-free distributions."
And having more than one type of IRA can help taxpayers when the required minimum distributions for these funds hit at age 70.
"RMD management is essential," says Lee Martinson, the owner of PGA Financial. "Seniors have to know to take advantage of the aggregate rule, which says that withdrawals from one can satisfy withdrawals from all your vehicles. That will lower tax bills."
One other tactic to lower taxes is to shift taxable income around to different types of lesser-taxed investment vehicles.
"Some methods are very popular, like family limited partnerships and things like trust life insurance annuities," says Alexey Bulankov, a financial planner at McCarthy Asset Management. "There are what's called Stretch IRA's to deal with estate taxes. Seniors should weigh the benefits of all."
Besides moving money, some retirees may consider moving to states like Nevada and Florida that traditionally have low or no income taxes. But Gary Duboff, the managing director of CBIZ MHM's New York City office, notes that "with the economic downturn, many states are enacting or thinking about new and higher taxes on residents. It's a common approach for many retirees to move, but unexpected changes in tax law could have an impact on planning."
Another problem for retirees on the move are gift and estate taxes. Many states -- 21 to be exact -- have not adopted federal rules excluding up to $5 million of estate tax assets. That could cost retirees and their heirs additional taxes if they relocate.
It's obvious, experts say, that retirees need to check out the tax laws of any new state they might want to move to.
A dollar earned . . .
Social Security checks are a welcome income for many retirees, but benefits are often taxed if a person has substantial additional income such as wages, dividends or interest.
No one pays federal income tax on more than 85% of benefits, but the combined-income threshold (for benefits and other income, like wages) is low for when the tax kicks in: $44,000 for couples and as little as $25,000 for some individuals. That means retirees ought to think about pushing back any extra income.
"Seniors should postpone taking discretionary income, like capital gains, to early January of a following year instead of December, if they can," says Larry Karmel, a partner at the tax specialty firm Metis Group.
"With the income threshold at 85%, delaying the income for a time makes the benefit dollar worth more than a dollar of other income," Karmel says.
For married couples, itemized deductions can help offset potential taxes on benefits, says Bulankov.
"Filing jointly may enable couples to deduct all or part of the long-term-care insurance premiums they pay for themselves if they meet certain IRS criteria, and help minimize benefit taxation," Bulankov explains.
Looking ahead
If retirees find the tax burden heavy now, it could get heavier with tax reform. Some proposals include flat taxes, with the elimination of taxation on dividends and interest. But that could mean higher rates on wages.
Expiration of the Bush tax cuts, set for the end of 2012, could raise rates on dividends from 15% to 39.6%, hitting regular income that many seniors depend on.
Meanwhile, taxes are going up in 2013. The health care bill passed in 2010 adds a 3.8% tax on investment income, including interest, dividends, capital gains and other unearned income, for individuals with modified adjusted gross incomes above $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples). And there will be a 0.9% increase in Medicare payroll taxes for the same income levels.
With all this in mind, some tax analysts worry that retirees aren't prepared for their senior years.
"The cost of retirement has grown, and many people have not saved enough," says Lee Isaacson, a CPA with the accounting firm Reznick Group. "They need to budget their costs and understand that taxes are now part of their responsibility, and start making estimated payments where, as an employee, they didn't have to."
In the end, experts say, cutting down a tax bill takes work.
"Plan ahead for taxes as much as planning for a vacation," says Scholz. "A little tax planning now can produce enough tax savings to actually pay for a trip."

Classy...casual Pretty pants! Classy, casual, comfortable! Easy to dress up or down. July 18, 2014
Super Comfy I read all the other reviews and took their advice and ordered a small instead my usual size- medium. I am definitely glad I did this as the small fit very well. I love these pants as they are super comfortable and they are great to wear on the plane when travelling or just lounging around the house! July 18, 2014

Great cropped pants! Very soft, comfortable material. Look great on with everything . Dress up or be casual. My second pair. Love them. They are not tight but have a casual flow. April 2, 2014
Too thin I'm normally a size 8/M and I ordered the small after reading the reviews. It was still very loose on me but because it was also extremely thin fabric, I could see my panty lines. It was very comfortable but not worth the cost for something I'd only wear at home. January 12, 2014
Very Comfortable I read the other reviews and did order a size smaller than I usually would. They are still a bit large, but very comfortable. I am 5' tall so the waistband is too wide for me, but never bunches or binds under tops as it is described. I definitely would buy these pants again. January 11, 2014

If you're in the Midway, Utah, area this summer, there's a chance you could run into someone famous at the supermarket: Musician Josh Kelley or his wife, actress Katherine Heigl.
The celebrity couple and their daughters are relocating to their Utah ranch this summer, according to the website Taste of Country, so Kelley can work on his music.
"I rented a U-Haul and took my whole H-D rig studio all the way up here," Kelley told Taste of Country.
Both Kelley and Heigl claim a connection to Utah. The singer used to visit when he was a kid, and the romantic-comedy star filmed a TV movie, "Wish Upon a Star" (1996), in Utah when she was 17. The couple got married in Utah four years ago.
"Once you spend a summer here, you realize it's probably the best kept secret on the planet. If it's a secret, it's not anymore," Kelley said with a laugh. "It's just beautiful. It never gets humid. It's not a humid place. It gets hot though, so you can have some really great summers."
Kelley said he would have some Nashville songwriters up to visit, "to do some writing and some fly fishing and some horseback riding and chillin' and some drinkin' — in no particular order."

For a Few Demons More
The Hollows, Book #5
Review brought to you by OBS staff member Heidi
Rachel Morgan is back in the fifth installment of the Hollows series. She is still dating sexy living vampire, Kisten, and living with her business partners and friends Ivy and Jenks (along with Jenk's wife and kids). Rachel is still trying to convince Ivy to work out a blood balance with her after Ivy bit her in the last book, but Ivy refuses unless Rachel will throw in sex, which she won't.
Rachel is awoken one morning by a demon, Newt, possessing her body and when she uses her magic to get her out, the demon starts tearing up the church looking for something she thinks Rachel has. Ceri arrives and together she and Rachel summon Newt's familiar, Minias, to come and retrieve her. Minias takes Newt home, but now he owes Rachel a favor and the whole debacle causes the church to now be unsanctified.

Communities In Schools
Communities in Schools (CIS) directly serves over 1000 students in Wilkes County and indirectly serves over 3000. The monies they receive from working two areas at MerleFest help fund the many programs they provide. Among those programs are Friends of Youth one-on-one mentoring; Lunch Buddies; New Century Scholarships; dance lessons; after school clubs for sixth, seventh, and eighth graders; peer helpers; and peer mediators.
During MerleFest, CIS volunteers man the Little Pickers Face Painting area as well as the entire Little Pickers area each afternoon. All monies received from helping staff the Little Pickers area goes toward the new Century Scholars program. CIS volunteers also run a food booth selling strawberry shortcake, pinto beans, cornbread, veggie pitas, chicken pitas, and baked potatoes. Food booth earnings fund the general budget that supports all programs except the New Century Scholars.
The New Century Scholar program provides two scholarships that would not be offered otherwise. Glendora Chipman, CIS Executive Director, explains, "The students are tracked beginning in the sixth grade until they graduate with a two-year degree from Wilkes Community College." This supportive program helps fulfill the CIS mission to "help kids stay in school and prepare for life."
Ms. Chipman and New Century Scholar Coordinator, Melissa Higgins, believe that their involvement at MerleFest also helps get the word out about the organization's goals and needs. "We have a wonderful opportunity to brag on CIS when folks ask what our organization is about. Several make commitments to volunteer as mentors or in other capacities with our agency!"
When the students of Wilkes County benefit from an organization such as Communities in Schools, we all benefit. Thank you, CIS, for your efforts at MerleFest and as you support our students all year.

Sustainable landscape design has been an area of great student interest at Earlham. In 2011, students and faculty researched and wrote a report on the history and future of sustainable agriculture at Earlham, their report, "Going Green and Growing Dreams" was a springboard for campus gardening activites.
The 2012 Environmental Colloquium class proposed four campus gardens, the first two of which began construction in the fall of 2012. The Rain Garden is now located outside the Athletics and Wellness Center, and the proposed Orchard has been planted at Miller Farm.
In 2013, a Japanese Gardens course renovated the on-campus Huffman Garden and created a second Japanese garden behind Stout Meeting House. The class created a facebook page on their project.
In 2013, the Sustainability Advisory Committee approved a Tree Care Plan for the campus. You can downloand the Tree Care Plan here. In the same year, the Student Sustainability Corps developed a map and tour of campus memorial trees. Download the Memorial Tree Tour here.

If you've been following The Bad Blogger for any length of time, or taking an active part in the Internet Marketing community, you've probably heard of Michael Fortin. He's considered to be one of the best copywriters around, who's been known to increase conversion rates and ROI's dramatically. What you might not know about him is, he started out as a very shy door-to-door salesman who was terrified of rejection. In fact, the reason why he got into sales is he wanted to…
that Fear !
Years passed, he knocked a whole lot of doors, was rejected a whole lot of times, and now he can proudly say his fear of rejection is gone. Right now he's a great salesman, businessman and entrepreneur, who helps hundreds of people all over the world to…
Achieve Success
in Their Lives and
Businesses !
Well, something interesting happened this morning. A few hours ago, I was interviewing a young man for a sales position in one of my businesses, and as I was talking to him, I realized people who are not entrepreneurial at heart, those who want a nine-to-five and a check at the end of each month, seem to be…
More Afraid of
Rejection than
Failure !
On the other hand, business people are the exact opposite. They don't mind getting rejected, but they can't stand failure. It's not in their vocabulary. What I want you to realize is whether you want it or not, rejection and failure are everywhere around you. If you haven't experienced them already…
You Will
Eventually !
If you think about it for a moment, you'll realize you can get rejected as you look for a job or, if you sell physical products door-to-door, like Michael Fortin did. You can feel rejected when you spend hundreds of hours trying to sell something online, but people just…
Don't Want to
Buy it !
You can even feel rejected when you ask a girl out and she says no. Rejection is everywhere. The thing about rejection, though, is it's usually short term and temporary in how it affects your life. I mean, even if you knock one hundred doors and get rejected one hundred times, you can still knock another one, and if you do, as the law of averages attests…
Someone is
Going to Say Yes to You
Sooner or Later !
In other words, as long as you don't give up, every rejection will bring you closer to finally getting accepted. On the other hand, the effects of failure seem to be more devastating and lasting. The changes it creates can be deep and damaging. If you feel you've failed in life, it might be difficult for you to get up and…
Pull Yourself
Together Again !
But again, it's crucial for you to understand that rejection and failure are everywhere, and they're just part of your life, as breathing and eating is. They happen, and you can't hide from them. The great thing is you will get through both of them, if that's what you want. No matter how many times you've gotten rejected or failed…
You Can Get Up and
Keep Going !
Sure, at first you'll feel depressed and discouraged, but that will pass relatively soon. If you put your mind to it, you will alter your life, and it will be improved because of the failure or rejection you had to go through. I like to think of everything in life as a learning process. When you fail or get rejected, you need to look at what you can improve, make the necessary plans to change, regroup and keep going. That's…
How You Create
Greatness in Life !
None of the successful people you read about or see in movies have been born successful. They've had to face failure and rejection long before they became who they are now, and they still face those things all the time. You can take every experience, no matter how difficult and learn from it. You can look at what you have accomplished each day right before you go to sleep, draw conclusions and get up rejuvenated and motivated the next day. You can achieve anything you desire, if…
You Don't
Give Up !
Giving up and throwing in the towel is the ultimate failure. It happens when you decide you're going to stop trying and move on to something else. I don't want you to ever do that. Why? Because it doesn't work. You see, if something is worth your while, it's going to bring rejection and failure before you see success. If you've spent a lot of time learning and working on something, there's no point in giving up and starting something new from scratch. If you do, the only thing you'll accomplish is start over. It might be refreshing, but…
Is a Terrible
Waste of Time !
You might be tempted to start something new, when you begin seeing that you're failing at what you're currently doing, but I can tell you from personal experience if you ever get serious with that something new, you'll fail at it, too, initially. This is not because you can't do anything right, but because that's…
One of the
Laws of Success !
Success will come, but first you'll experience hardships, rejection and failure. That's just how it is. So, do not give up and get distracted just because something gets hard. Instead, keep at it. Keep trying, and you'll soon see great things happening. How do I know? If you've read this book "The Guy Behind the Bad Blogger Manual" you probably already know I've failed miserably and was rejected by dozens of people before…
I Succeeded At
What I Do !
I've been where you are now and I know you will succeed eventually, if you follow a solid plan. It will be hard. It will take time and a great deal of effort, but you will succeed, no matter what it is you're trying to accomplish.
That's a
Promise !
Never Say Die,

Whitebuilding is now the latest Spacestudio to open in Hackney Wick and sports a set of lovely large spaces for resident and visiting artist facilitation complimented by the latest Ubiquity wireless network SPC installed in June. They share the ground floor of the building with Crate who operate a pizza restaurant and micro brewery, tasty.
Haymerle Studios was added to the Spacestudios network in 2011, so we were pleased to have been invited to design and install distributed access via wireless LAN for all there. As luck would have it BT whom I normally avoid entirely have enabled the local exchange to deliver 'Infinity' a new broadband service which connects your phone line to fibre at the nearest street cabinet vastly improving both up and down speed. Thereare now 10 access points serving the 65+ studios with open access to 30/8 mb's..
