Peoria, IL (PRWEB) January 20, 2012
John Blossom, CEO of Alliance Benefit Group – Illinois has successfully completed the training, validation and testing necessary to renew his certification as a Registered Fiduciary™. The Registered Fiduciary (“RF™”) Certification identifies financial professionals and organizations as competent fiduciaries that have achieved pertinent educational qualifications and licenses, learned required skills, and have passed a background check.
The RF™ designation to John Blossom recognizes particular skills in the area of consulting services to qualified retirement plans. In addition to Investment Advisory Services, Alliance Benefit Group services 401(k), 403(b), 457 and Defined Benefit plans.
In acting as a Registered Fiduciary™ Mr. Blossom and Alliance Benefit Group is committed to always acting in the best interest of clients, using the skills, ethics and focus on the client needs that the Certification represents.

The Registered Fiduciary Certification is based on the 2010 Fiduciary Standards of the Fiduciary Standards Board and validated by DALBAR, Inc., the independent expert.
The Fiduciary Standards Board is a not-for-profit (501(c)(3)) organization established in September of 2000 to develop and advance standards of care for investment fiduciaries, which include trustees, investment committee members, brokers, bankers, investment advisers, money managers, etc. The Fiduciary Standards Board is independent of any ties to the investment community and therefore positioned to be a crucible for advancing fiduciary standards throughout the industry and to the public.

It’s never always obvious how to go about looking for a job, I was in a bit of a rut during the last couple of weeks when I was job searched, until I found the site in the box below that has sensible instruction. I soon got myself going down the true route, and in a month or so after a couple of interviews I landed a really great job.

Banking and Securities Commissioner Fred Joseph urges consumers to consider attend one of the workshops, which are scheduled on a monthly basis. “Investing offers a means to achieve one’s long-term fiscal goals, but requires knowledge,” said Joseph. “An informed investor is an ached investor.”
These programs cover retirement planning, asset allocation, fraud prevention, risks in investing, tax-advantaged investing, and portfolio management. Attendees may bring a personal balance stream and monthly budget for investment counselors to review and assist them in planning for a solid financial future.
Chambers of Commerce, professional associations, networking groups, non-gaining and businesses of all sizes are encouraged to participate as program host. Two formats are available: a 30-microscopic resource overview and a 1-hour presentation. Both include excellent non-commercial printed resource corporeal.

CuOro is doing large moves in Columbia
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 12, 2012
Financial Press: The Canadian mining company CuOro out of Vancouver B.C. is making some big discoveries in the Santa Elena property in Columbia. This company seems to be on a hot streak for anyone looking to invest in penny stock within the mining and metals industry.
CuOro is one of the powerhouse corporations in this industry with a string of successful drills exposing significant Au, Ag, Cu, and Zn results across multiple zones. Since November 2011 CuOro has had 3 big discoveries in the 100% company owned Santa Elena property.
The company is well financed with approximately $ 20 million dollars in their treasury, giving them the opportunity to make strategic investments in growth within the mining friendly, Columbia. Management looks to leverage its exploration and development expertise to bring additional resources and value to shareholders and to reduce development risk and expense through its focus on community relations, corporate and social responsibility.
The company has a great forward looking agenda with drilling well under way, along with a robust plan for future drilling. The exploration is providing good results too. They have made consecutive fruitful finds and have optimized their resources to increase their capital and ultimately benefit both the company at its shareholders.
With Columbia being such a mining friendly country, CuOro is in a great position with 100% ownership of the Santa Elena property and such a substantial treasury to utilize in growth and expansion of the promising property. The drilling is moving ahead having had the assays revealing significant zones of production.
Some of the highlights from the drilling are:
Hole SEDDH-39 intercepted:
o 102.9 metres @ 1.44% Cu, .07 g/t Au, 2.4 g/t Ag and .23% Zn including;
o 30. metres @ 2.06% Cu, .12 g/t Au, 4.8 g/t Ag, and .28% Zn and including;
o 25. metres @ 1.98% Cu, .07 g/t Au, 2.8 g/t Ag, and .15% Zn.
Additional mineralization intercepted on the following holes:
o SE-DDH-37: 21. metres of 1.61% Cu, including 9. metres of 2.41% Cu.
o SE-DDH-29: 2. metres of 1.62% Cu.
o SE-DDH-26: 6.9 metres of 1.94% Cu.
Robert Sedgemore, President and CEO, commented: “We continue to deliver positive drill results at Santa Elena with drill hole 39 delivering an impressive intercept of over a 100m at 1.44% Cu, this provides further indication of a high-grade near surface copper deposit at Santa Elena.” The indicators going forward are what will set this company apart from the competition. They are well set to add resources and continue to grow their existing successes into new year and beyond.

Event Production Company and Client of Synergy Business Solutions Highlighted in Microsoft Video on Business Growth and Dynamics SL ERP
(PRWEB) January 12, 2012
Synergy Business Solutions, a West Coast award-winning provider of integrated project accounting and financial management software, announced today its client, The Production Network (TPN), is featured in an entertaining and informative Grow Your Business video produced by Microsoft. Part subtle humor and full of sound business advice, the video includes a TPN executive who shares secrets of TPN’s success, including how a new ERP system transformed their company.
“While managing up to 500 projects a year, it was critical we get a new ERP system with robust project accounting,” said Daniel Thompson, Chief Operating Officer at The Production Network. “That’s why we chose Microsoft Dynamics SL. It enabled us to graduate from our old disparate systems and spreadsheets and go from weeks to compile data and generate invoices to a day to do the same.”
“Tight budgets, complex projects, and potentially low margins meant TPN needed an integrated, transparent system that meticulously tracked communicated and financial data and made it easy to access,” said Jered Cady, Executive Vice President of Synergy Business Solutions. “Dynamics SL’s project management and accounting modules fit the bill to a tee.”
The video is in Microsoft’s Grow Your Business series that features success stories from clients that use Microsoft Dynamics—ERP software with cost-effective and quick cloud or on-premise deployment options.
“Choosing the right implementation partner was just as critical as a new ERP system,” Thompson added. “Synergy Business Solutions made the process virtually painless and quicker than expected. They configured a system that met the requirements of both our small and large projects and vastly improved our project management and ability to keep projects on budget.”
