Individual Retirement AccountsTraditional IRAs have been around since 1974.3 Contributions youmake to a traditional IRA may be fully or partially deductible, de-pending on your individual circumstances. Distributions from atraditional IRA are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken beforeage 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal income-tax penalty.Generally, once you reach age 70½, you must begin taking re-quired minimum distributions.

Roth IRAs were created in 1997.4 Roth IRA contributions cannotbe made by taxpayers with high incomes. To qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, Roth IRA distribu-tions must meet a five-year holding requirement and occur afterage 59½. Tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal also can be takenunder certain other circumstances, such as a result of the owner’sdeath. The original Roth IRA owner is not required to take mini-mum annual withdrawals.

Defined-Contribution PlansWell over one-third of workers are eligible to participate in a de-fined–contribution plan such as a 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan.5 El-igible workers can set aside a portion of their pre-tax income intoan account, which then accumulates tax deferred.

Distributions from defined contribution plans are taxed as ordi-nary income and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a10% federal income-tax penalty. Generally, once you reach age70½, you must begin taking required minimum distributions.

Defined-Benefit PlansDefined–benefit plans are “traditional” pensions—employer–spon-

sored plans under which bene-fits, rather than contributions,are defined. Benefits are nor-mally based on factors such assalary history and duration ofemployment. The number of tra-ditional pension plans hasdropped dramatically during thepast 30 years. (See chart below.)

Continued EmploymentIn a recent survey, 79% ofworkers stated that theyplanned to keep working. Incontrast, only 27% of retireesreported that continued em-ployment was a major or minorsource of retirement income.6

Fall of the Traditional PensionParticipation in traditional pension plans has fallen dramaticallyduring the past 20 years. Participation in defined contributionplans, such as 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans, has risen steadilyover the same period.

Retiring OlderDuring the past year, one survey found 23%of women and 22% of men have changedthe age at which they expect to retire. Thevast majority said they plan to retire later.Source: Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2011

For many people, retirement income maycome from a variety of sources. Here’s aquick review of the six main sources:

Social SecuritySocial Security is the government-adminis-tered retirement income program. Workersbecome eligible after paying Social Securitytaxes for 10 years. Benefits are based oneach worker’s 35 highest earning years. If there are less than 35 yearsof earnings, non-earning years are averaged in as zero. In early 2012,the average monthly benefit was $1,230.1

Personal Savings and InvestmentsOne survey found that 62% of today’s workers expected that their per-sonal savings outside their IRAs and employer-sponsored retirementplans, and investments will be either a major or minor source of retire-

usual, a busy holiday season behind us, andwarm weather ahead of us, The Hungry Heartphilosophy is more relevant than ever. MostAmericans start thinking about two things:how to refresh their life attitude, and how tofinally lose that weight they’ve gained andkeep it off. The Hungry Heart is a programaimed at fulfilling these very resolutions.

“This is a program that’s designed for peoplewho want to make a permanent change andnot live from diet to diet and scale to scale,”says Jaemi Taylor, after finishing her thirdsession of the eight-session Hungry Heartprogram.

The success of The Hungry Heart starts atthe simplest level: it’s a program that reallyworks. Lauren Grant has created a programwith a unique approach to overeating. In-stead of dealing with the outward problem,the fact that a person cannot stop thediet/binge cycle, she starts with the inwardchallenge.

“You need to find out what’s triggering yourbody to feel like it needs to eat,” explainsLauren. “In most cases, it will be because ofan inability to deal with emotions like stress,fear, anger worthlessness, sadness, anxiety,or even the simplest feelings of boredom.

To connect with Lauren and her team, call (714) 978-4041 or visit www.HungryHeart.org

Breaking out of the diet/binge

cycle was just her first step in

turning one of her toughest life

challenges into a thriving career

and business. Lauren Grant and

her Hungry Heart Team are

reaching out to help people

break free from the trap of using

food or dieting to cope with life,

helping them to lose weight

naturally. Sound too good to be

true? Read it for yourself!

IIt’s not what you eat, it’s what’s eating you,”says Sara. Sara is a Hungry Heart successstory; walking proof that every problem startsand ends with the heart. She had been a serialdieter for years, constantly losing and regain-ing weight. It wasn’t until she started The Hun-gry Heart program that she got down to “theheart of the matter” between her and food.

Lauren Grant has made a business out of help-ing people like Sara permanently overcomeemotional overeating. In a time when manybusinesses are waning, The Hungry Heart is ex-panding. Unlike other products that might fallout of demand in a harder economy, our atti-tudes towards food and how to cope with ouremotions, especially during stressful times, issomething that will always be present. Witheconomic lulls putting more stress on us than



When a person doesn’t feel they have theconfidence or know how to face these kindsof emotions, they often turn to food to dis-tract, comfort, or reward themselves.Through the program we help clients regaincontrol over how they cope with life and theemotions created by life. In this, they regaina quality of life that they had lost before, theystop seeing food as either aproblem or a solution, andthey lose weight naturally andpermanently.”

“Our eight-session systematicprogram combines behavioraland nutritional counselingwith hypnosis to reinforce newbehaviors and thought pat-terns,” says Desiree Eidlhuber,a woman who began as a Hun-gry Heart client and is now aHungry Heart counselor. “It’s aguilt-free, safe and discreetenvironment where you willget positive results.” Withinthe Hungry Heart website, in-formational brochures andmission statements, this prom-ise is constantly reiterated.You will see positive and con-sistent results. According to the peoplewho’ve tried the program, that promise isfully delivered.

“This program really worked… it addressedmy emotional eating- an issue that none ofmy other diets or programs addressed,” saysLaura, a Hungry Heart grad and LagunaNiguel resident. “I knew how to lose weight. Iknew how to eat and how to exercise. I justdidn’t know why I wasn’t implementing theseaspects to lose weight. The Hungry HeartProgram taught me why my ‘former dietingself’ personal wasn’t working. It taught mehow to retrain my mind, let go of old negativepatterns that were holding me back, andgave me the tools to recognize bad habitsand overcome them. I feel a renewed senseof self and confidence to be healthy, happyand me!”

A personal note from Billie to her HungryHeart counselor reads: “I was at 225 pounds.Today I am now 195 pounds and feeling great.I went from a size 20 jeans to a size 16; mygoal is a size 12 and I know I can do it. I havethe perfect tools you gave me. Thanks fromthe bottom of my heart."

Lauren Grant’s extensive file of client testi-monials has one common thread, gratitudefor a change in attitude. Clients are mostthankful that they were helped to regain a

positive attitude towards themselves andtheir bodies, a change which ultimately ledto their losing permanent weight.

Changed lives don’t keep quiet. Wordspreads with this kind of a revolutionary pro-gram, especially when it gets around thatyou don’t have to stop eating sweets or pick

up a killer fitness routine toget results. Even doctors arereaching for their soapboxes.Local doctors in OrangeCounty have started referringpatients who have issues withemotional eating to the Hun-gry Heart Program. Clinically,it makes more long-term sensethan a crash course aerobicsclass or a cold-turkey acquittalof food. “We even have a num-ber of doctors and nurses whohave clients in our programbecause they know that thesystem is carefully built forreal results through healthysteps,” says Lauren.

With more and more peoplejoining the program every day,hearing success stories from

friends, or getting referrals from local doctorswho believe in the program, Lauren and hercurrent counselors are feeling the demand.

“I love my career,” says Dee Dee Devins. “I’mhelping people dramatically change theirlives. So many people are just overwhelmedin general. They don’t know where to start.We show them how to start experiencingtheir lives from a place of empowerment in-stead of from the perspective of being out ofcontrol. I had to deal with food on my own. Ididn’t know about the Hungry Heart pro-gram when I was finding my way, but I stillfound it although the road was longer andharder. When I came across this comprehen-sive program I knew it was everything Ilearned to be true in the most accessible andlife-changing format.”

“Through The Hungry Heart you can finallystart taking care of yourself the way you’vealways wanted to and leave behind the un-derlying issues that have been holding youback," says Lauren Grant. "With summerinching closer, this is the perfect time tostart."

With the Hungry Heart, food doesn’t have tobe your life anymore. Food can finally bemerely the fuel for the life you’ve alwayswanted, a guilt-free positive life where you’rein control.

"Eating, snacking, binge eating and compulsive

overeating were all synonymous to me. The

means to temporarily filling up the emptiness

that I felt inside. I would eat everything in sight

in hopes of feeling full. Yet, the feeling of full-

ness never came. Instead guilt, shame, disgust,

and an overwhelming feeling of how I had

messed up would fill my heart and mind.

The Hungry Heart team cares. With their help I

learned to feel my emotions instead of eating

them. I now see “tomorrow” full of opportuni-

ties and my days are full of hope. I learned to

recognize patterns in my behavior which helps

me to make healthier choices.

As a counselor at Hungry Heart I know how

beautiful “tomorrow” is when we are emotion-

ally and physically healthy.

“I created the programbecause I had struggledwith my own issues ofcompulsive overeating,binging, and yo-yo diet-ing. It took me years ofwork and self study toovercome my problemswith food, but I did it!!Ihave shared this process

with other counselors and we have put to-gether an entire process to help others getthe positive and permanent results theylooking for. If we can do it, so can you!”

et’s talk about reasons to install apool or update an outdated back-yard. I don’t mean how incredibleswimming pools are for increas-ing the value of your home or inthe case of updating your pool,for energy savings … I’m talkingabout the certain kind of admira-tion from your kids and theirfriends. I’m talking about a vanity-free personalized water park or aday at the spa. Think of the possi-bilities – all because you made thedecision to turn your backyardinto the kind of relaxing placeyou’ve always dreamed of.L

their pools and to maximize the fun in their backyards,” says Rich. “I am proud to say that wehave some of the most professional, experienced and polite customer service staff in the pooland spa industry.”

If you’ve got a worn out swimming pool that's been neglected or ready for a makeover, don’tworry, they also do major pool renovations. Rich, Linette and the Pacific Paradise Pools teamstrive to go above and beyond to ensure their customers are satisfied. They also work with pro-fessional designers and landscape architects to ensure you get the full HGTV effect.

“We aim to please and make sure that we develop an outdoor living space that will complimentyour home’s personality as well as provide years of enjoyment,” says Rich. They’re not the brag-ging type, but the truth is the Huntington Beach-founded and Fountain Valley-based business isan international award-winning builder, and has been honored on numerous occasions fromtrade and industry associations. In 2012, Pacific Paradise Pools won one of only four PinnacleAwards from Luxury Pools.

While they appreciate the accolades and feel the awards “validate our business strategy,” Linetteadds that the best testament to the quality of our work and dedication to customer service comes from “the referrals from loyal, happy customers who truly endorse what we do.”

The fact of the matter is, Pacific Paradise Pools doesn’t just provide you with a beautiful back-yard, they give you relaxing weekends and enjoyable evenings after a long day at work. Richand Linette may not serve drinks poolside, but then again, with their 5-star customer service,maybe you just need to ask. And, if you’re looking to sell in the near future, transformed back-yards are rated among the top requested home improvements for increasing value. Pacific Par-adise Pools works quickly, efficiently, on time and on budget.

We’d hate to make them blush, but we’ve got to get the word out about what Rich and Linettedo when they aren’t creating the backyard dreams for others. Since 1994, this husband-and-wifeteam have been part of “Men and Women of Action,” a volunteer construction and disaster or-ganization. While still managing the family business, they’ve helped re-build homes, build schools,churches and medical clinics all over the world – from domestic locales like New Orleans afterKatrina to Zambia, Brazil, Romania, Honduras and the Philippines.

“This is our meaningful passion,” says Rich, who recently completed a couple of projects closerto home: A school in Fresno, church in Ontario and rebuilt the home of a pastor in McFarland,California whose home burned down due to arson.

“We decided when we met the pastor to help his family,” says Rich. “He ministers to a poor agri-cultural community, and we felt there was a great need."

Together, the couple volunteer 10 to 20 hours a week stateside, and spend at least two weeks ayear volunteering overseas.

“We were both raised in Huntington Beach,” says Linette. “I graduated from Marina High Schooland Rich from Huntington Beach High School so it’s also especially nice when we have the op-portunity to give back in our own community. We now haveroots with our home church, Living Waters, in Fountain Valleyand our youngest daughter is now a Baron at Fountain ValleyHigh School so we see old friends almost every day in the com-munity we serve.”

There are four main categories of bladder control problems:• Stress incontinence – leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise. This occurswhen the pelvic and sphincter muscles become weak or the urethra loses its support andmoves too much.• Urge incontinence - leaking urine after a sudden and strong urge to urinate. This problemmay be caused by nerve damage from diabetes, infection, a stroke, back problems, hormoneimbalance or other medical conditions.• Overactive bladder – the need to urinate frequently during the day and/or getting up tourinate during the night. With this condition you may also have urge incontinence.

• Mixed incontinence – a combination of stress and urge incontinence.

Some of these symptoms can get so bad that some women rarely leave home because of em-barrassing leakage. At Pacific Coast Urology’s Bladder Control Center for Womenwe have helped count-less women regain bladder control and return to the activities they love. From newmedications to advanced biofeedback exercises, acupuncture (PTNS) to minimally invasiveoutpatient surgical procedures using a battery (Interstim®), there is an answer for mostwomen that can help.

To learn more about bladder control problems, we invite you to join usfor a community education seminar about bladder control on Wednesday,April 17, 2013 at 6:00 pm at the Residence Inn Marriott located at 4931Katella Ave., Los Alamitos. Call, 888-735-4336 to reserve your seat.

Bladder control problems affect 50 mil-lion Americans and it is one of the mostcommon health problems that womenface. While many think that the condi-

tion only affects older women, the truth isthat women of all ages may have urineleakage (incontinence) or other bladdercontrol issues.

Pacific Coast Urology Medical Center, led by Dr. Robert Pugach, is one of the leading medical practicesin the US specializing in the minimally invasive treatment of urological conditions, including procedures

to improve and correct bladder control. www.pacificcoasturology.com

ton Beach Sports Complex located at 18100 Goldenwest Street in Huntington Beach.There will be plenty of free parking as well as valet. Taste tickets are $50 for generaladmission or $80 for a VIP ticket. This year, the Taste offers a $55 designated driverticket and a $75 designated VIP driver.

As the restaurants and wineries are judged and awarded with such titles as “Best Taste”and “Best Booth Decoration”, entertainment this year will be provided by the TijuanaDogs, with a return engagement from last year.

Bill Parker, Taste of HB Event Chair, explains that the participating eateries donate theirtime and food, so all event proceeds directly benefit the children's library. Unlike other"taste" events in Orange County, the Taste of HB is "charity-driven, with unlimited tastesper ticket" rather than "pay as you go." And with the closure of the Taste of Newport,the Taste of HB is sure to be even more popularthan ever for fans of food festivals.

The Taste has generated over $300,000 since itsinaugural event in 2000, and has helped fill budgetshortfalls that have at times amounted to upwardsof 80 percent in cuts.

On Sunday, April 28 from noon till 4pm, theTaste of Huntington Beach will mark its13th annual food festival featuring over 50eateries, 30 wineries and breweries, silentauction, live entertainment and more – all

to raise funds for the Huntington Beach Children’sLibrary.

Another compelling argument for youth strength-trainingprograms is that significant improvements have beenseen in self-esteem, mental discipline and socialization.Weight training provides an opportunity to let childrenwho typically struggle with group activities stand out fromtheir classmates and perform well on an individual basis.Overweight and obese children tend to have great mus-cular strength and tend to excel in that area.

What a tremendous way to boost self-esteem in the chil-dren who need it most!

How do you get started? Listen very closely to yourchild’s concerns and address them with care. Kids loveto learn new things, so working with medicine balls, re-sistance bands, free weights and machines is a greatidea and can be lots of fun!

Finally, remember that your goals when exercising withchildren are simple: Safety, fun and learning to lovebeing physically fit!

As far as nutrition goes, relax parents. Once you getBobby & Suzy moving, the food thing will come. Whoshops? If the answer is you, the adult, then it’s up to youto offer your child better choices. If nutritionally un-sound food choices aren’t available, your child can’t eatit. If you kid yourself that you’re buying Coco

Puffs for Bobby or Suzy, but really it’s you that want thesugary cereal, then we have a different issue on ourhands altogether.

Instead of going crazy and cutting out all those treatsthat your child loves all at once, start out slowly. Littleconsistent changes will not be met with as much resist-ance. Make a family decision to improve on the typesand amount of food you’re buying and preparing.Healthy choices can be convenient too, you just have tomake the decision to improve yours and your families’nutrition and stay committed to that decision.

Bring the family back together. Family meals are a com-forting ritual for both parents and kids. Children like thepredictability of family meals and parents get a chanceto catch up with their kids.

Kids who take part in regular family meals are also morelikely to eat fruits, vegetables, and grains and less likelyto snack on unhealthy foods. In addition, family mealsoffer the chance to introduce kids to new foods and toact as a role model for healthy eating.

In closing, let’s educate ourselves on the pitfalls of mak-ing poor food and drink choices so the governmentdoesn’t have to ban them. Let’s make exercise excitingand fun again. Set a good example for your children bystarting with your own healthand fitness.

By now you may have heard that New York Mayor Bloomberg has tried to passa ban on sodas over 16 ounces. He says he has new data tying sugary drinks tothe city's fattest neighborhoods.

Instead, why don’t we educate the public on how to make better food and drinkchoices and develop programs to promote health and activities? The NFLlaunched NFL PLAY 60, a national youth health and fitness campaign focusedon increasing the wellness of young fans by encouraging them to be active forat least 60 minutes a day.

In the United States today, childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions.Rather than reiterating the same statistics that you read in every article aboutthis topic, we’d like to address the ways in which we can affect change in thelives of our children and grandchildren before they are faced with the inevitablehealth issues that will likely result from poor nutritional and fitness habits.

If your child is already overweight and is inactive, the first step is to make the nec-essary changes to his or her diet. Then, it’s a matter of inspiring little Bobby orSuzy to get moving. With regard to the latter, I’d like to correct a common miscon-ception regarding strength training for kids. Many parents believe that childrenshould wait until the age of 12 to begin any strength training program because im-plementing a program at a younger age will stunt their child’s growth. The truthis that there is simply is no evidence to support this statement.

In fact, all of the major fitness and medical organizations in the U.S. recommendstrength training for youth, because basic guidelines are adhered to and appro-priate leadership is present. Children can begin to train with weights as soon asthey are able to accept and follow directions - typically around the age of 8 or 10.

The benefits of youth strength training are similar to those for adults, includingan improved attitude toward lifelong activity. Improvements in muscular fitness,bone mineral density, body composition, motor fitness performance and injuryresistance are compelling evidence for all parents. To keep your child motivated,present ideas that support their efforts like self-improvement and individualsuccess. But no matter what, make sure that your child is having fun!
