NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -06/04/12)- 30 DC, Inc. (TDCH), founder of the online Internet marketing course The Challenge, announced the design and trial run of a new magazine publishing platform, MagCast, designed to revolutionize the magazine publishing industry using Apple's marketplace for digital media subscriptions, Newsstand a standard feature of Apple's latest mobile operating system iOS 5 for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

MagCast offers an apps development and maintenance tool for any publisher, large or small, who wants to publish digital content on a single issue or subscription basis. MagCast utilizes Newsstand as the customer interface which provides electronic distribution and collects revenue as well as customer contact information. Apple requires customers to authorize release of their contact information 93% of whom authorized during the MagCast platform test.

Since its launch last fall, Newsstand has resulted in a surge of magazine and newspaper app downloads and subscriptions but has predominantly been used by large well-known publications capable of absorbing the significant expense associated with custom mobile application development and maintenance. MagCast is intended to offer a cost-effective digital publishing solution and the interactive ability of the digital magazine format to the masses, including small and niche publications.

Newsstand's centralized distribution and customer-friendly interface is changing the publication industry in the same way that iTunes changed the music industry. MagCast's design provides a roadmap and tools for content creators worldwide to generate magazine apps which may utilize Newsstand's power to access a large database of potential customers.

During the MagCast trial run for DM Magazine, 93% of users agreed to let Apple pass on their subscription information, which management believes validates the Magcast platform approach to reaching an interested audience, potential customers, and allaying fears that Newsstand users would not wish to share data with publishers.

When asked why users were so willing to submit their personal contact information, 30DC CEO Edward Dale replied, "Most of the content providers using Newsstand at the moment are traditional publishers accustomed to the 1-issue-per-30-day model; but it doesn't have to be like that. MagCast enables publishers to create interactive and customized content in a timelier manner, which is far more suited to the digital medium of web-based reading. We believe customers are happy to pass their information on to receive updates from publishers of rich, awesome, niche content that cater to their specific areas of interest."

MagCast is a collaboration of 30DC and Netbloo Media Ltd., who jointly developed the concept and design of the platform. MagCast is scheduled for full release in early June 2012.

Most of this information has been publicized in team-by-team form, but it's interesting to examine from a league-wide perspective. Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell and Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison are the league's highest-paid assistants, both earning $750,000. Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges ($550,000) is next, followed by Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi ($500,000), who recently received a raise that more than doubled his previous salary ($233,000).

Several of the Big Ten's highest-paid assistants from 2011 -- Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst, Illinois offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, Illinois defensive coordinator Vic Koenning -- since have left the league for other jobs.

Here are the totals paid for assistants among the 10 schools reporting salaries:

1. Ohio State -- $3.22 million 2. Michigan -- $2.755 million 3. Illinois -- $2.314 million 4. Michigan State -- $2.18 million 5. Iowa -- $2.16 million 6. Nebraska -- $2.13 million 7. Wisconsin -- $1.973 million 8. Indiana -- $1.96 million 9. Minnesota -- $1.745 million 10. Purdue -- $1.61 million

When factoring in the head coach salaries, the rankings look like this:

1. Ohio State -- $7.22 million 2. Iowa -- $6.035 million 3. Michigan -- $6.009 million 4. Nebraska -- $4.905 million 5. Wisconsin -- $4.571 million 6. Michigan State -- $4.098 million 7. Illinois -- $3.914 million 8. Minnesota -- $3.445 million 9. Indiana -- $3.22 million 10. Purdue -- $2.535 million

Michael Dunlop led by 21 seconds after lap two before retiring.

McGuinness clinched his 19th TT win as he finished 7.8 seconds ahead of Michael Dunlop in the Superstock race with Ryan Farquhar in third.

Padgett's Honda rider McGuinness led Farquhar by 0.17 seconds after lap one, by four seconds after lap two and by 12 seconds after the third lap as he went on to clinch his first TT Superstock victory.

A final lap of 129.253mph, the fastest of the race, saw Dunlop move up to take second with Farquhar five seconds adrift of his fellow countryman.

Supersport winner Anstey, Guy Martin and James Hillier made up the top six.

In the earlier Supersport race, Michael Dunlop led by 10 seconds after lap one and by 21 seconds after lap two but retired at Ballig Bridge on his third circuit after setting the fastest lap of the race at 126.95mph.

Gary Johnson led after lap three but ran out of fuel in the closing stages which enabled William Dunlop to take his first-ever TT podium finish.

The 26-year-old Wilson Craig Honda trailed second-placed finisher Donald by 14 seconds at the chequered flag.

Anstey & McGuinness earn TT wins

U.S. multinational companies have been seeking a tax break on overseas income for years, and the top Republican tax writer in Congress is proposing to give it to them. Theres a catch they dont like.

Businesses and trade groups are lobbying House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp to loosen rules in his draft plan that would make it more difficult for companies to shift income from the U.S. to lower-taxed countries. Among those groups is the National Foreign Trade Council, whose board includes officials of Oracle Corp. (ORCL), Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and PepsiCo Inc. (PEP)

Its a good-faith effort, but we are a long way from developing a package that everyone can sign on to, said Catherine Schultz, vice president for tax policy at the trade group, which advocates expanded international commerce. You would not get a lot of the business community supporting this if this was a final draft.

The debate over foreign income is a preview of how difficult a tax overhaul, which both political parties say they want, is going to be. While many -- though not all -- companies know they dont like what Camp proposes, they dont agree about how to fix it. What some companies call fair others see as unjustified, depending on what line of business they are in and how their global operations are organized.

There are a few Veruca Salts who want it all and want it now, said Camp, comparing a minority of companies to the fictional spoiled rich kid from the book and movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

In many cases, tighter rules on moving income to low-tax countries such as Bermuda would offset much of the gain from the exemption Camp is proposing.

U.S. multinational companies, including Google Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., and Forest Laboratories Inc., save billions of dollars in taxes annually by shifting profits into subsidiaries in tax havens, often using techniques with nicknames like double Irish and Dutch sandwich.

Under current law, U.S. companies owe the 35 percent U.S. corporate tax rate on all the income they earn around the world. They get credits for tax payments to foreign governments, and they dont pay the U.S. anything until they bring the money home.

Camp, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney say the U.S. tax system makes it harder for American companies to compete internationally with businesses from the U.K., Germany and Japan whose home countries dont impose additional taxes on foreign profits.
