Author and weight loss coach, Charles D’Angelo, addresses an important issue and how parents can help!

My kid is being bullied about her weight. What should I do?

Listen to your child and be supportive, says Charles D’Angelo, a weight-loss coach and author of Think and Grow Thin. D’Angelo struggled with his weight as a young child and teen — at his heaviest he weighed 360 pounds — and was bullied because of it. “Parents have to not only encourage their child to become healthy, but also find where her strengths lie and what makes her feel good about herself,” he says. “It can be riding horses, building websites, painting, playing piano. Help your child focus on her strengths, her passions and her ability to take charge of her life.” You should also make her school aware of what’s going on, have them address the issue and encourage your child to come to you at any time to talk about the bullying.

Women and Investing

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, when honoring the women of America comes into sharper focus. However, whether a mother or not — no one can deny the great advancements for women over the past twenty-five years. Women now make up a majority of college graduates, are nearly half of the labor force and are increasingly becoming the primary income source for their households.

Yet, today’s working women still seem to be under-educated on matters of investing and personal finance. According to a recent study conducted by Prudential, only 23 percent of women surveyed feel prepared to make financial decisions and only 12 percent are actively seeking to educate themselves about investing.

In the investment classes and workshops that I teach, women make up 70 percent of my students. Financial advisers and family members have discouraged them in handling their own finances. They’re told wealth building is a man’s domain.

However, I find that women are highly intuitive and make both great investors and online stock traders. This is important because it’s no secret women tend to live longer than their male counterparts. As a result, women have an even greater need to save for retirement and pursue a financial education.

For instance, if an employer has a 401(k) plan, conventional wisdom states a woman working in her twenties would be well on the road to a secure financial future if she starts contributing to her 401(k) plan sooner rather than later. A fifty-dollar weekly contribution can make a big difference over ten years. Most 401(k) plans allow an employee to invest as much as 10 percent of their gross income. Under federal law, an employee can contribute up to $17,500 of their gross income, and the company they work for can contribute up to a 3 percent annual match.

Whether because they think it is their only choice or due to a fear of taking control of their own money, most working women allow their 401(k) dollars to be invested in a mixture of seven to 10 mutual funds chosen and offered by the fund’s manager. This is where they go wrong.

Anyone with consistent income can start and contribute to an IRA (Individual Retirement Account). In fact, anyone can open an IRA with as little as fifty dollars. Additionally, you can transfer funds from your company managed 401(k) to an IRA that you manage yourself by investing online. Of course, the next question is what is the better investment, stocks or mutual funds? The answer is that most investors do better choosing individual stocks as long-term investments.

Getting started investing early will pay off big down the line. I encourage women to create a financial plan even if they are now in a committed relationship. Your financial plan should include your ability to own a home, take a five-star vacation and, of course, retire without the fear of outliving your money. The good news is that anyone can reach these goals. All you need is a financial education and a brokerage account for online investing.

When Barry Fey died on Sunday, the Boulder music scene was stunned and left marveling at the legacy of the legendary concert promoter.

Fey, who was 73 and recovering from hip surgery, worked with the likes of the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. He was a master of getting big names into venues, and his powerful influence was notable in Boulder, especially on the University of Colorado campus.

“For Boulder and CU, he was the renaissance years,” said Phil Lobel, former CU Program Council director and Fey’s friend and publicist.

“He was the king of music for the CU campus and for the city, and you know he’ll always be remembered for those renaissance years of concerts. The late ’70s and early ’80s — there was no school in America that had more concerts and more variety, and it was due to Barry.”

Pioneering Promoter Barry Fey Dead At 73

Barry Fey, one of the pioneering promoters in the U.S., and highly influential in building Denver into one of the most robust live concert markets in the country, died at his home yesterday, with some Denver media reporting an apparent suicide. Fey was 73, and had recently undergone hip replacement surgery that kept him hospitalized for a month, and sources say he had been despondent about the pace of his recovery.

Billboard’s Concert Promoter of the Year in 1978, Fey promoted virtually every headlining act from the 1960s until his retirement in 1997. Last year, Fey’s highly entertaining autobiography “Backstage Past” chronicled his exploits, sparing no one, including himself, including a “Pricks List” that, as Fey told Billboard last year, was made up of “pricks above and beyond the call of duty.” In that same interview, Fey lamented the state of today’s live business, which he said has “no personality, no soul, no heart. But the main thing missing is loyalty. When I started, whether it was U2 or Zeppelin, whoever I found, if you had good enough ears and they got big, you got big with them. Now, if you find somebody and they start to get big, one of the big monsters takes them away. Barry Fey could never be Barry Fey today.”

Throughout his career, Fey promoted artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and the Who, among many others, as well as the “Summer of Stars” series at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

“My condolences go out to his family and loved ones,” says Fey friend Phil Lobel, president of Lobeline Communications, who was mentored by Fey and remained a loyal friend. “Colorado lost a legend, and their champion for putting the state on the musical map. Since 1976 at my college concert promotion days at CU Boulder, Barry was alternatively a mentor, friend, boss, hero and client. He was very proud to recount his life story in ‘Backstage Past,’ and I’m delighted he will live on with his recent induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.”

A polarizing figure, Fey was also known for having a big heart, even if he clearly had no regrets about publishing the book. “The book is true,” he said. “I didn’t write anything false, and it’s not all nice.” Still, he said, in life, “I wish I would have been nicer to people.”

Fey is survived by his sons, Tyler, Jeremy, Geoffry and Alan.

Chart your course to weight-loss with fitness guru Charles D’Angelo

When weight-loss coach Charles D’Angelo was 17 years old, he weighed 360 pounds – and he could give you every excuse for why he struggled with his weight.
D’Angelo grew up in an Italian family, who bonded between slices of cherry pie and sips of sugar-laden coffee. His mother was an alcoholic, and his father was a blue-collar worker.
At school, he was bullied about his weight until he withdrew from his peers to gorge on food in the bathroom stall during lunch. He even tried to cut gym class so he didn’t have to participate in President Bill Clinton’s youth fitness program.

Huffington Post blogger and Lobeline PR client Tyrone Jackson on tax season

There are at least two experiences most of us don’t look forward to. The first: going to the dentist. The second: preparing your taxes. While we can’t pay someone to go to the dentist for us, we can pay someone to do our taxes and that is what most of us choose to do.
Here’s the problem. Most tax preparers follow a cookie cutter approach to preparing your taxes. They incorrectly assume that one size fits all and seek to be paid for volume rather than quality.

If you want to maximize your tax deductions this year and beyond, you’ll need to know the following five insider secrets that are frequently overlooked by most
