Press Release Summary: AS NATIONAL DEBT EXPLODES, TAXPAYERS BRACE FOR INCREASED RATES

Press Release Body: (ALISO VIEJO, CA)—In September, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that the national debt had passed $10 trillion. Now some experts believe that federal tax hikes are inevitable.

“The only way to pay down a hungry deficit is with tax dollars,” says James Burns, author of the new book The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth: How to Crack Your Wealth Code Using the Tools of the Self-made Billionaires. “Which means we could have an entire marginal tax rate shift upwards—no matter who takes office.”

Burns says that taxpayers can help offset any increased tax burden by taking advantage of investment vehicles that allow for tax-deferred growth, such as savings-grade life insurance and Roth retirement plans in the form of either IRAs or solo 401(k) Roths.

According to Burns, investors should “opt for Roth IRAs that tax their contributions upfront, so that any taxes they pay will be on the smaller contributions put into the account rather than the larger amounts they withdraw during retirement.”

IRAs and other investment vehicles are discussed in The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth as part of Burns’ plan for investors to take advantage of any tax breaks the government does give. His advice includes:

¤ Find investment tools that offer tax-deferred growth through retirement
¤ Consult a financial advisor before believing advertised growth rates
¤ Find a financial advisor who specializes in investment-grade life insurance if that’s what you plan on investing in
¤ Learn how to calculate tax savings as part of your profits when budgeting
¤ Avoid get-rich-quick plans that promise tax-free growth

“Even if the government is forced to raise taxes in order to pay down some of the national debt, there are enough opportunities out there to at least offset some of that burden,” says Burns.

An attorney and a former member of the United States Marine Corps Force Recon, James Burns has two degrees in law and one in taxation and international tax. He has over seventeen years of combined financial, real estate and legal experience.

Press Release Summary: Bigmouthmedia launches campaign to promote search marketing as career option

Press Release Body: Bigmouthmedia, independent digital marketing agency, has launched a new cross-industry campaign to promote a career in Search and digital marketing to university graduates.

The move follows the recent publication of survey results revealing that the majority of Scotland’s new graduates feel that higher education should do more to connect students to potential opportunities in emerging industries. The research, which was conducted earlier this year by bigmouthmedia, also revealed students’ beliefs that universities are failing to adequately prepare leavers for life in the real world.

Despite the fact that search marketing has grown from nothing to become a £1.2bn a year business in the last decade, until now none of the UK’s careers advisory bodies have listed search engine optimisation or digital marketing amongst the options available to graduates. However, following consultations with bigmouthmedia, Careers Scotland have now updated their records to reflect the industry’s growing significance.

While continuing to work with the relevant sector Skills Councils in Scotland to ensure that information is available to entry-level job seekers, bigmouthmedia now plans to carry the campaign to the rest of the UK and Europe.

“Every year companies like bigmouthmedia hire a raft of recent graduates, yet our experience attending university careers fairs tells us that many new entrants to the workforce are simply unaware of the opportunities available in the sector,” said Lyndsay Menzies, Managing Director of bigmouthmedia UK.

She continued, “With a wide range of roles on offer the search marketing sector can offer a career path to both science graduates with Maths, Statistics or IT related degrees and social sciences students with creative, language and communications skills. We believe that new career paths like this have a vital role to play in the economy, and will continue campaigning to ensure that the relevant advisory bodies are kept up to date.”

“It’s often been joked in the search marketing space that no one wanted to be a search marketer when they grew up. Such jobs didn’t exist. Now they do, and it’s great to see that careers services are catching up to help provide education for this important career,” said Danny Sullivan, Editor In Chief, SearchEngineLand.com.

Notes to editors:
Search marketing career campaign release screenshots and survey results are available through the bigmouthmedia website as well as additional up-to-date digital marketing news.

Press Release Summary: Rolex: Rapper Wiley wears a Rolex but who is wearing Tupac Shakur’s Rolex Day Date President or, for that matter, Kanye West’s Cartier, T.I.’s Omega, or any of P. Diddy’s luxury watches?

Press Release Body: Rolex: Who is wearing Rap Star Wiley’s Rolex? What about Tupac Shakur’s Rolex? Rap star Wiley is helping to make wearing Rolex watches popular again with his single “Wearing My Rolex” that is now #2 on the UK Singles Charts. The last rapper to make wearing a Rolex watch so popular was Tupac Shakur who wore a gold and diamond-encrusted Rolex Day Date President until the day he died. Rappers Jay-Z, T.I., Outkast, Nas, Snoop Dogg, and Kanye West have also been seen wearing Rolex President watches although Notorious B.I.G. wore a Two Tone Rolex Datejust (18k/SS).

To see this article in its entirety visit the MJ Rolex Watch Blog at:http://www.melrosejewelers.com/rolex-watch-blog/wiley-rolex-tupac-rolex/

In 1993 Tupac Shakur was shot in a robbery and what some feel to be an attempted murder by rivals Sean “Puffy” Combs a.k.a. P. Diddy and others affiliated with Bad Boy Records. Although the robbers stole $35,000 of diamond and gold jewelry, they left Tupac’s diamond-encrusted gold Rolex Day Date Presidential. Some feel this was out of respect for a man’s watch. Luxury watches have long been considered part of the 3-part American dream: owning a nice house, a nice car, and a luxury watch.

Wearing a Rolex is considered to be part of one’s manhood and thus taking away one’s manhood is considered to be unethical, even in the world of crime and murder. It is purported that, today, Tupac Shakur’s Rolex President has been officially retired and buried with his body as he would have wanted. A modern picture of Tupac’s Rolex Day Date President can be seen here:http://www.melrosejewelers.com/info/rolex_super_president_pave_dial_123.htm

So now that Tupac has passed away, who is Wiley and why is he “Wearing My Rolex”? He may be doing it just to follow in the footsteps of Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z and other famous rappers because wearing a Rolex and rapping about it has almost become a symbol for music success. Credited as the Godfather of Grime music, Wiley has come a long way from his roots as a DJ. Described as “grime-meets-electro,” the single Wearing My Rolex was released under Asylum/Atlantic Records. Wiley has several projects lined up in 2009 alone, including another single entitled Summertime.

This festival comes on the heels of the successful release of her latest CD, Lua Hadar with TWIST, at New York’s famed Iridium Jazz Club. “It’s a particular thrill for me to be performing in a festival lineup that includes Zubin Mehta, Paul Taylor and the Ballet Flamenco,” says Hadar. TWIST’s tour band reflects the international flavor of Hadar’s repertoire, with musicians from Cuba, Great Britain, Hong Kong and the States, including Music Director and jazz pianist Jason Martineau and drummer Jim Zimmerman. A unique and original vocalist with a soaring range, Hadar interprets lyrics in several languages with a charming, swinging delivery.

Her love for The Great American Songbook, begun in her New York childhood, mixes with her passion for world cultures, so jazz club and concert audiences enjoy an eclectic mix of grooves and languages, from the familiar to the exotic, but always with Lua’s fresh twist.

New York critic Joe Regan Jr.wrote about the May 10th release performance at New York’s Iridium Jazz Club: - “a stunning evening - sheer beauty - every selection was dramatically on the nose - she rocked - her physical presence and body language remind one of the great Latin, Abbe Lane, at her peak. The evening was pure pleasure!”
