Tax Relief Expert Michael Rozbruch Appears on Fox News to Divulge Helpful Tax Tips in Advance of the Filing Deadline
Tax Relief Expert Michael Rozbruch Appears on Fox News to Divulge Helpful Tax Tips in Advance of the Filing Deadline
Encino, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2012
Just in the nick of time of this year’s tax filing deadline of Tuesday, April 17, Tax Resolution Services’ founder and CEO Michael Rozbruch made a special, 30-minute-long appearance on Fox News Midday Sunday, with news anchor Tony Valdez, to discuss this year’s tax issues, dole out a plethora of useful tips, and share how TRS helps taxpayers deal with the IRS and solve their tax problems. Rozbruch shared on topics that benefit all taxpayers, including why people should file and pay as much as they possibly can, even if they don’t have all the money they owe; why he never brings a client to an IRS audit interview; why it’s usually better to use a legitimate tax professional as opposed to a computer software program; and how TRS’s business model allows them to be successful and offer a legitimate service to the public.
“I’ve appeared on Tony’s show before, and enjoyed it because it’s such a good opportunity to use as a platform to educate the public about current trends in the tax industry and to let people know what we do at TRS,” said Rozbruch. “It can be a little tricky sometimes, finding time this time of year to do this type of thing, but it’s always well worth it.”
Although appearing as a guest on the show is a way to inform people about Tax Resolution Services, it also serves as a venue for Rozbruch to educate the general public about their rights as taxpayers. Informing people about their rights is a core principle to Rozbruch’s philosophy as a member of the tax industry. For example, during the show, he shared that “let’s say you prepared your return…and at the end you find out that you owe five, six, seven thousand dollars or a lot more, but you don’t have the money to pay. The best thing you can do is file the return, get a money order or personal check for as much as you can afford to pay; even if that’s five or ten dollars” because you can avoid a late filing fee (which can be as much as 25%) and show the IRS that you’re not avoiding them and you’re doing the best you can.
Now, with the April 17 filing deadline literally just around the corner, these tips are increasingly valuable. You can view video bites from the broadcast on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/taxresolution.
Rozbruch welcomes those under audit to contact Tax Resolution Services via phone at 866-477-7762 or online at TaxResolution.com for a free no obligation consultation.
Tax Resolution Services, Co., is dedicated to providing affordable solutions to businesses and individuals alike who find themselves in trouble with the IRS. Their tax attorneys, CPAs, and tax relief professionals have successfully resolved thousands of cases since 1998 and are committed to making sure our clients’ experiences exceed their expectations.

Classrooms of the Future Coming to Jerseyville: Students to Learn from Mobile Learning Devices, Digital Textbooks
Classrooms of the Future Coming to Jerseyville: Students to Learn from Mobile Learning Devices, Digital Textbooks
Jerseyville, IL (PRWEB) April 09, 2012
Committed to preparing students for success from home room to the board room, Jerseyville schools Superintendent Ed Settles today announced a major partnership with Pearson’s 1:1 Learning that will overhaul the traditional classroom. This solution brings effective personalized and connected learning to scale for all students and educators in Jerseyville.
Jersey Community Unit School District 100 plans to provide a technology device such as a laptop computer for every 5th grade through 12th grade teacher by Fall of 2013 as part of a major move designed to better prepare students for college studies and future careers. Educators will begin using the new technology to teach students in every class starting in the 2013-14 school year as the district’s mobile learning program swings into gear. Teachers soon will be trained to incorporate technology and customize lesson plans based on student achievement data, which will be available in real-time as students are working on assignments, into their day-to-day instruction.
Students in 5th to 12th grades will receive a mobile learning device by the start of the 2013-14 school year, and the district goal is for all students to have mobile devices and the digital learning programs by 2017.
“The days of kids sitting in rows with the teacher disseminating information are over,” Superintendent Settles said in describing his excitement about providing one-to-one learning for students. “We needed to move forward and instruct in a way that students learn best, using tools of their time. In doing so, our entire District 100 community will benefit as we move our children’s classrooms and learning forward into the digital age.”
Settles added that the school district chose to work with Pearson on the landmark initiative because, “We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Pearson without question has the resources and the years of research to be our partner on this. Seeing the engagement and excitement in the learner is what spurred me on.”
The district is evaluating mobile learning devices to select those that will best meet students’ educational needs. The district has not yet decided which mobile devices the students will receive, and Kindergarten through 4th grade students may receive tactile-based devices.
Pearson’s 1:1 Learning applies a research-based 1:1 Learning Framework to help districts successfully start and run mobile learning programs. Pearson 1:1 Learning will provide Jersey CUSD 100 with training to help teachers and staff with the shift to digital learning. Pearson will help with the implementation of the program, including with planning and managing of the massive project and providing a robust digital curriculum and student achievement and assessment systems. The digital curriculum will include electronic textbooks, including Prentice Hall Mathematics, to help students master the rigorous new Common Core subjects.
“Educators in Jerseyville are leading the charge to provide classroom tools and skills to meet students in the digital environment where they live, using technology to enrich the learning experience in a way never before possible,” said Scott Drossos, Senior Vice President of Pearson’s 1:1 Learning. “We will stand side by side with Mr. Settles and his team to help Jersey CUSD 100 schools make the move to digital as they prepare students for college and the technology-driven workforce of tomorrow. This is about the future of the children of Jerseyville and the well-being and prosperity of the entire JCUSD100 community. Mr. Settles has that future firmly in sight, and we are happy to stand with him and the community as partners.”
Pearson 1:1 Learning works closely with school districts making the transition to digital learning with instructional programs on laptops, iPads, and other devices. Educators can use interactive texts, videos, animations and other features in digital instructional programs to provide more dynamic, personalized lessons with assessment tools that determine in real-time each student’s level of performance to help teachers quickly identify academic strengths and weaknesses.
Pearson offers a wide range of mobile learning solutions for schools like those in District 100. Pearson’s digital learning programs are built on decades of expertise and research in effective teaching and learning and are aligned with the new Common Core standards. More than 300 of Pearson’s instructional programs in math, reading, science and other subjects for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade include etexts now available for classrooms. The etexts are highly adaptive to each student’s learning needs and include features to digitally highlight, take notes, bookmark, quickly look up definitions, link to relevant topics, get audio and video support, and more.
About Pearson
Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, has as its mission to work side-by-side with states, districts, teachers, students and parents to ensure that every child is prepared for college and career (NYSE: PSO).

ArchiCAD Basic Training – Eric Bobrow’s QuickStart Course – Video Lessons Give Beginners and Veteran Users a Fast Way to Get Up to Speed on Best Practices for ArchiCAD
ArchiCAD Basic Training – Eric Bobrow’s QuickStart Course – Video Lessons Give Beginners and Veteran Users a Fast Way to Get Up to Speed on Best Practices for ArchiCAD
San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) March 30, 2012
Six months ago, ArchiCAD expert Eric Bobrow released his innovative ArchiCAD basic training QuickStart Course. More than 140 users have signed up, enlarging the roster in Bobrow’s Best Practices website community to over 650 members and 49 countries from around the world.
Bobrow is an internationally noted expert and trainer, and has been called “the ArchiCAD Guru” by many of his colleagues. His “7 Keys to Best Practices for ArchiCAD” is a classic treatise on the best ways to work in the program, and has been avidly read by almost 10,000 subscribers to Bobrow’s ArchiCAD tutorials email newsletter.
The QuickStart Course covers the basics of using ArchiCAD, but it’s not intended just for beginners. Many veterans who have used the program for years have commented that the 13 hours of easy-to-follow video lessons have shown them many tips and tricks that they weren’t aware of.
Comments have included: “When did they add that feature?” and “I had no idea that you could do that operation as easily as what you showed.” Students have appreciated that the video lessons are available to view whenever their schedule allows, and that they can download the videos for permanent access on their own computer.
The QuickStart Course is one component of the Best Practices Course, Bobrow’s popular ArchiCAD training that recently celebrated its first anniversary.
Quotes from Course Members
QuickStart Course member John Allan of London UK posted a comment on the course website:
“The QuickStart Course should come with every new copy of ArchiCAD to get new users working with this complex, and expensive, programme quickly and effectively. Eric deserves a great round of applause for his generosity and professionalism in the way he has presented the QSC. He has packed so much information into each module that he explains very clearly and patiently.”
Allan continued: “The QuickStart Course is exceptionally good value for the money as it gets one, very quickly, working with the software.”
Albert Aeberhard, of Griffith Australia writes: “Your lessons are fantastic. I have already improved my drafting speed ten fold.”
Anthony Warburton of Hamilton Australia posted a comment: “Then one day while searching the Web for lessons I stumbled onto this fellow called Eric Bobrow. Well this would have to be the best money I ever spent. I believe Eric’s course should be the tutorial that is supplied with ArchiCAD. The lessons are fun and very easy to understand and if you don’t quite understand something you just fire off an email to Eric and within no more than an hour you have your own personal answer direct from the guru himself.”
Warburton continued: “I would recommend this course and Eric Bobrow to any user whether novice or veteran as it is the best reference going.”
Bobrow Comments
Bobrow writes “I’ve worked with ArchiCAD users for well over 20 years, and am very familiar with the struggles that come up when people don’t understand the basics very well. They do things the long way around, and find the program tedious and frustrating.”
Bobrow continues: “By teaching the basics with Best Practices methods in mind, the path is clear towards efficient and productive use of this powerful tool. I enjoy teaching, and love to get feedback from users on how excited they are to finally get a handle on working quickly and easily in the program.”
On Sale Now
In celebration of the 6 month anniversary, Bobrow Consulting Group has announced a special limited-time sale offer on both the QuickStart Course and his comprehensive ArchiCAD training Best Practices Course. The offers include both price reductions as well as very affordable payment plans.

University of Redlands Receives $75,000 Fish & Wildlife Grant
University of Redlands Receives $ 75,000 Fish & Wildlife Grant
Redlands, Calif. (PRWEB) March 29, 2012
The University of Redlands has received a $ 75,000 grant from the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to develop a Spatial Decision Support (SDS) system that calculates and maps the potential impacts of energy projects on wildlife.
Work began this month on a Wyoming Pilot Project of the USFWS Landscape Scale Energy Action Plan (LEAP), where the university briefed a team of expert modelers and scientists who will help to define vulnerability for an eight-state region bordered by Utah, Montana, North Dakota and Kansas.
Special attention will be given to the state of Wyoming, where the projected impacts of energy projects on wildlife in the region will be calculated and mapped through data input and Geographic Information Science and Technology. Results will be released in October.
“We are helping the FWS to build a system that will facilitate early conversation between energy proponents and the Service, to help reduce conflict and guide appropriate and sustainable energy development,” said Jordan Henk, director of the Redlands Institute, a research wing of the university that uses Geographic Information Science and Technology to explore complex environmental and social systems.
“This kind of collaborative research is ideal because it couples Redlands’ expertise in geospatial technology with the Service’s scientific expertise to develop something that should result in better decisions on the ground,” Henk added.
Tim Modde, project officer for the Fish and Wildlife Service says the project goes beyond simply mapping the overlap between an energy project and the wildlife that lives in the area. “We’re attempting to measure the risk,” he said, “to develop a modeling logic that provides estimates of vulnerability that can be used by environmentalists, scientists and others.”
SDS is a specialization of Geographic Information Science (GISc), in which the Redlands Institute applies structured decision processes, advanced computational modeling and GIS technology to support geodesign, planning and spatially complex decisions at multiple scales of analysis.
Modde said he hopes to see the project work used as a planning tool for future energy projects.
“We often don’t have the opportunity to look at energy from a landscape perspective,” he said. “This will let us see the risks and avoid them before they happen.”
David Fite, vice president for academic affairs for the University of Redlands, noted the Institute’s growing role working with federal agencies to develop GIS models for planning. Similar projects are underway by the Redlands Institute for the National Park Service on the island of Hawaii and for the USFWS Desert Tortoise Recovery Office in the Mojave Desert.
“We are pleased that the Redlands Institute has been able to leverage what it’s done in one region to benefit another, and we’re excited about our growing partnership with the Service,” Fite said.
About the University of Redlands:
The University of Redlands is an independent nonprofit liberal arts and sciences university consistently ranked among the best universities in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Since the university’s founding in 1907, Redlands has emphasized academic rigor, personal development and interdisciplinary studies. An Education + culture of elevated learning provides students with a holistic education that results in a unique life transformation.
