American's Largest Wireless Network Provides Support for Gulf Coast Customers

Alltel Wireless, with American's Largest Network, Provides Support for Gulf Coast Customers as Hurricane Gustav Approaches

Network teams in place to support customer communications


LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-- August 30, 2008 --Alltel Wireless, with America's largest network behind it, is continuing to provide digital service to customers across the Gulf Coast as Hurricane Gustav approaches the area. The company has network crews in place throughout the region ready to provide reliable network coverage when the hurricane makes landfall. The crews are prepared to respond to any weather-related emergencies that might threaten communications services in coastal states.

"Alltel takes very seriously our responsibility to ensure our customers stay connected to friends and family during Hurricane Gustav," said Chris Smith, executive vice president of network services for Alltel. "Alltel has made significant investments in its wireless network to improve coverage and reliability, and we have once again taken all the necessary steps to prepare for Gustav."

Earlier today, the company began closing retail stores in south Louisiana to support evacuation efforts. The following closings were announced through Monday:

    * 1043 West Tunnel Blvd. in Houma, La.; 1818 Manhattan Blvd. in Harvey, La.; 2701 N. Causeway Blvd. in Metairie, La.; 1000 W. Esplanade St. in Kenner, La.; 9424A Three Rivers Road in Gulfport, Miss.; 808 Highway 190, Suite B in Covington, La.; and 1302 Corporate Square in Slidell, La.

Alltel will continue to monitor the storm through its command center operations so that it can respond quickly and effectively with manpower, generators and equipment to keep customers in communication with friends and family once Gustav makes landfall.

Alltel also works to help customers in hard-hit areas. All other retail stores will remain open as long as possible. Stores that are closed will reopen as soon as conditions permit to allow customers access to phone chargers and batteries. Alltel opens mobile retail stores in particularly hard-hit areas.

Network preparations to this point:

    * Secured agreements with vendors to provide fuel to keep trucks and generators running.
    * Placed generators on standby in hurricane-prone areas, and tested on-site backup generators for readiness in case of a power outage.
    * Prepared to provide lodging, RVs, food and water for technicians working in storm-hit areas.

Customers can prepare for Gustav by:

    * Verifying that wireless phones are working properly.
    * Programming wireless phones with emergency contact numbers.
    * Making sure wireless phone batteries remain fully charged.
    * Keeping additional charged batteries on hand along with car chargers. Phones, batteries and chargers should be kept in dry, easily accessible areas.

In addition, once Gustav makes landfall, customers should consider:

    * Using Text Messaging instead of trying to place a call.
    * Limiting non-emergency calls, whenever possible.
    * Waiting 10-15 seconds before dialing again if a call fails to go through.
    * Using their camera phones to record damage for insurance purposes.

Alltel is owner and operator of the nation's largest wireless network and has more than 13 million wireless customers.

RE: Regarding your domain name xxxxxxxxxxx.us

 
I have warned you once before when you tried this scam on me in the past. Since you have not learned a lesson, I am going to warn everyone about what you are doing:
 
- You are finding .com domains that can be registered and where there are owners of domains with the same domain name but different extensions, like our .us version.
 
- You then contact the owners with the other TLDs and tell them that you own the .com version of the domain that you want to sell it.
 
There are three problems with what you are saying:
 
1) You are a liar, since you don't own the .com version of the domain you say you do. Every time you contact us I look and see that the .com version is NOT registered and I then register it for $7 if I am interested in it.
 
2) If someone does not know you are not the owner of the domain that you say you are, they may pay you over than 27 times what they would have to pay if they just registered it themselves. How would you feel if you found out someone over-charged you for something by 27 times?
 
3) You are a spammer. You are sending bulk commercial email messages that are always the same message except that the domain name changes. I have reported you in the past to your ISP, but it seems you are using a Chinese emailer that does not respond to spam reports. Perhaps I will have better luck reporting you to Gmail where you are looking for responses to your spam.
 
You could make this a good business if you just went about it differently. You have access to good information that offers a valuable service. I just don't understand why you choose to get people upset with you by being greedy and dishonest.

Hi,

I own the .COM version of your domain name  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .us and I want to sell it.

I was wondering if you would be interested in buying this domain for $195 seeing as though you own the same domain but in another extension ?

Let me know
Thanks
Shawn.

Adventure Luxury Travel Caters to the Spirit of Adventure

www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.com opens its doors as an adventure travel agency, providing exciting trips to exotic locales for active, adventuresome globetrotters.

East Longmeadow, MA  -  April 23 -- Jonathan Haraty recently opened www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.com for travelers who are looking to do more than just see the sights on their next vacation. "I have been in the travel business for five years, starting with selling only cruises," explains Jonathan. "From working with many cruise clients and taking specialist courses, I found there was a need for an agency that provides high-end adventure travel. Thus, Adventure Luxury Travel was born."

Adventure Luxury Travel caters to clients searching for the exotic and the exciting, providing scenic destinations with more than an even share of thrills to offer. "I found that many of my clients are looking for an agent that can provide them with hard adventure," says Jonathan, "like river rafting in Colombia, bungee jumping and green hunts in South Africa, or soft adventure like trekking Borneo, shark cage diving and snorkeling in South Africa, safari in Tanzania, or just laying out on the beach in Fiji -- but at the end of the day, returning to four or five-star luxury accommodations, even in the bush. These are the unique itineraries I provide my clients."

Adventure Luxury Travel is constantly adding new itineraries as more unique adventures are found, as is his sister site, www.JonsDiveTravel.com, which focuses mainly on scuba diving and contemporary cruises. "Almost all of the trips you see featured on my website have been designed by myself working with my suppliers in response to a particular client request. I then have found them to be popular enough with other clients that they wind up being featured on the website. This is particularly true of what have know become a section of the website for Honeymooners. This section has a great South African itinerary that includes a trip to Table Mountain in Cape Town, a tour of the wine country, a shark cage dive or snorkel, a safari at two different camps for perspective, and several days at Victoria Falls for a half day elephant back safari and a tour of the Falls by boat. All this with luxury accommodations every night. You just can't beat that."

In addition to providing unique vacation opportunities for daredevils and explorers, Jonathan has also begun a blog at www.AdventureLuxuryTravel.net where he can discuss these destinations with his customers. "My blog is going to focus on the specific areas I service with a passion," he explains. "Those areas will be luxury travel to new and exciting destinations, adventure travel and where the best areas are for a particular adventure while avoiding the large tourist crowds. I would also like to discuss the benefits and value in using and supporting the local suppliers of unique itineraries as they can provide an in depth insight into the areas you are traveling to and provide divers and guides that are highly qualified and knowledgeable. I want to stress that we are all about designing unique itineraries for our clients just about anywhere in the world, as I have personal supplier contacts in many out of the way countries that are just a blip on the radar screen but that will be major tourist attractions in the near future. Interested readers should contact me for information on these areas if they are looking for something new or thrilling."

Business Class Email in an Affordable Hosted Solution

Tech Strategies Provides Business Class Email in an Affordable Hosted Solution

The need for business class e-mail for small and medium businesses is now available in an affordable hosted solution, provided by Tech Strategies. Their hosted e-mail solution aims to compete with similar hosted Exchange services, by utilizing Kerio Mail Server 6.5.

Twin Falls, ID,  August 08, 2008 -- For small businesses needing an affordable solution for business class e-mail services such as push mail and groupware features like shared calendars and shared contacts, they can put their trust in Tech Strategies hosted Kerio mail service. The service boasts the ability to sync with any Smartphone, sharing of your calendar with your team or assistant, and Spam and virus protection. More information and pricing for the service can be found at
http://www.keriomailhosting.com.

Tech Strategies is an information technology company providing services for small and medium businesses. In an effort to provide better, more reliable e-mail to their clients and future clients, they have started providing e-mail hosting services and are going all the way. As Tech Strategies looked at options for providing e-mail hosting services, there were several requirements that had to be met. Those requirements were the ability sync e-mail with smart phones such as BlackBerry, Windows Mobile(R), Treo, Symbian and Apple iPhone. Groupware features such as calendar and contact sharing was also a must. The next major feature that was needed in order to provide business class e-mail was anti-virus and anti-spam protection. The product that made the most sense was Kerio MailServer 6.5 (KMS).

KMS is not a new product for Tech Strategies, they have been using it with some of their clients for a few years now. Many businesses need the type of services that are available through keriomailhosting.com, but the price of other services and software has always been a little out of reach for many small and medium sized businesses where every penny counts. Some of the benefits of using Tech Strategies hosted e-mail include: reduce demand on IT staff, no maintenance on servers, additional spam and virus protection and additional support. For companies where a hosted e-mail solution is not the ideal situation, KerioMail Server can also be purchased and run on Windows, Linux, and Mac through Tech Strategies. For additional information about Tech Strategies and their hosted e-mail services, or for a free demo, please contact Joel Eskelsen or visit
http://www.tsidaho.net.

Domain Renewal Group = Domain Registry of America

Domain Renewal Group = Domain Registry of America

Anytime you get a letter in the mail about a domain renewal, make sure you understand who it is from and what will happen if you agree to what they offer. You may pay 2-3 times for your domain registration or you could even lose ownership under some conditions. Your current domain registrar probably will NOT be sending you postal mail since they have your email address. Most of these postal letters that come in the mail are more or less SCAMS to get people to agree to what they think is a renewal, but is in fact a high-priced TRANSFER to a company that may not be trustworthy. The fees are ALWAYS higher than the average domain renewal fee of $10 US per year.

We just received a letter from Domain Renewal Group about renewing (and transferring) our domain for $30 a year. $30 is what Register.com and a few other clueless, greedy registrars charge, but there is NO WAY anyone should be paying that much just to renew their domain. I thought the letter looked familiar and sure enough, when I dug deep enough I discovered it's the same Domain Registry of America with a new domain and website, but same old rip-off pricing and marketing materials that are designed to fool those that don't read closely and realize that they are not just renewing their domain at a higher rate, but that they are also agreeing to transfer their domain to Domain Renewal Group where it will stay until they transfer it away at some point.

To their credit, it says on the web site that the fee includes hosting, but any hosting plan where you have to pay extra to get email really sucks, in my opinion. $30 a year for domain renewal and hosting is pretty cheap, but you can get the same deal somewhere else and deal with a 100% honest company.

Anyway, the reason for this post is to warn people away from this scam. These guys have been doing this for years and I'm sure they fool many, many people. I just want to get the word out.

We Are Selling The Domain Name...

We just got a new variation of the SPAM marketing of domain names. There are a number of people that are either offering to sell a domain they own which is the .com version of one that you own, or they offer to get a domain that is expiring for you for a fee. I don't have a big problem with these kinds of services except for a few things:

1) I don't like SPAM in any shape or form. Often these message are not personalized in any real way and if you have many domains as we do, these jerks will send you tons of messages, often one to each contact email on your domains. For us that means we get 2-3 emails each time.

2) The fees they ask are EXCESSIVE. One guy that I talked to at itime marketing said that many people thank that and are happy to pay their fees. I don't doubt this, but will those people still be happy when they learn that the cost should only be about $10 and if they waited 5-6 days they generally can get the domain and only pay that much?

3) Some of these jokers are lying, which I really dislike. They may say they own the domain, but they are willing to sell it to you, for $300 or whatever. Most people don't know about using WHOIS to check the information about a domain's ownership. If they did, they may find that the domain is not owned by anyone, and all they have to do is register it themselves. Using WHOIS can also avoid any problems when someone is trying to sell a domain that is currently owned by someone else. This is rare except for domain brokers, but it could happen. You can't TRUST anyone on the Internet.

So we just got the following message about one of our domains:
==========================================
We are selling the domain name avandiadiabetes.com.  Since you own the .net, if you would also like the more desirable .com we are making it available.  The cost is $49.95.  That includes a year of registration and transfer of ownership to you.  To purchase or to learn more go to:

http://www.dcinchq.com/index.php?domain=avandiadiabetes.com

If you pass on this opportunity someone else could purchase this domain and it may not be available again.

For questions contact us or go to:

http://www.dcinchq.com/faq.html

All the best,

Warren Davis
Digital Caucus, Inc.

==========================================

This spammer gets points for not charging a huge fee. I think $50 is a reasonable amount to pay for a domain you want, given that the owner has gone to some bother to contact you and rather than putting the domain on the open market where you might never hear about it they are doing you a (possible) service. I consider this to be SPAM for the most part, but it's really kind of borderline. They are not sending this message to millions, but I'll bet they are also sending the email to the owners of the other main domain TLDs, in this case just use with .net and someone else with the .org.

But this spammer is also a liar. When I used DomainTools.com and checked the WHOIS record, I find that the domain is not even registered. It appears that it was last registered to itime marketing, and now they either have a follow-up service or some smart cookie is picking over their leftovers that they could not sell and have dropped and trying to offer them at a lower price.


Summary: If you are contacted about a domain your interested in, I recommend you do the following:

1 - Check the WHOIS record and see if it is available. If it is register it instantly.

2 - If it is registered and was registered within the past 5 days, and you can live without it, wait 5-6 days and see if you can then register it. Domaintools.com offers a free Domain Monitor you can use to get emails when the status of the domain changes. I have used this free service to register several domains.

3 - If the domain does not drop after 5 days, you can talk to the seller and see if you can get the price down to a more reasonable level. Adopt the attitude that the domain would be nice to have, but after all you already have an established site on the current domain you own. Hold out and you should get the domain for $20-$100 unless it has wide appeal. These guys only leverage is your interest in the domain, and they only pay less than $10 for them. If you can double their money, that should be incentive for them over not getting anything at all.

If the domain is really valuable the seller will market it elsewhere or put it up at auction, and you may be out of luck unless you are willing to pay what they ask. The bottom line is get some expert advice before you shell out big bucks for a domain unless you know all the facts.

Woman's Day Magazine

Woman's Day

by Fern Siegel , Wednesday, August 13, 2008
WOMAN'S DAY TAKES AS its motto: "live well every day." I agree, though I'd like "well" spelled out. In a world of crashing stocks and mega-layoffs, "well" is relative. Unlike Congress, or Kubrick, the rest of us operate with eyes wide open. These days, I'm just happy if the Chinese takeout remembers all the entrees and the TiVo grabs a Bette Davis flick. Davis knew something about grit. She's best known for "Now, Voyager" and "All About Eve," but when her star faded, she took out an ad in "Variety" asking for work. Hollywood was shocked by her temerity, but I applaud her practicality. Survival is everything.

In my book, that covers health, money, work, family and food, and according to an expert source -- my mother -- Woman's Day fills the bill. She is a huge fan of its clean cover, concise tips and wide appeal, insisting it speaks to young careerists and grandmothers alike. How would she sum it up? "Trustworthy." And I concur.

WD is more versatile than Martha Stewart Living, which focuses on the home, and is a bit more sophisticated than Family Circle. Also, it's not as gooey as the stories in Ladies' Home Journal, which fill people like Martha and Cindy McCain with class dread. If you watched Ms. McCain at a recent Nascar race, you know what I mean. Her husband may love politics; she faces the crowds with a queasier gaze.

The "One Minute to Calm" story may help.

It asks the question: What can you do to chill out right now? I ask myself that 50 times a day. But some of the tips -- count down from 60 or pop a prune -- strike me as overly simplistic. One prune does not release enough "feel-good serotonin" to transform the highly stressed into the Dalai Lama. The article also says "write it down." Usually, sound advice -- until you visit the blogsphere and see ordinary scribblers morph into lunatics. I'd rather slap someone silly or relax with a glass of wine, the advice of an Albany, N.Y., wine educator. And if you buy domestic, you've done your bit for the local economy. Cheers!

In fact, the cut line "living well" is explored in myriad ways, starting with getting a library card -- though why does the photo show two diet books? Looking fit is a laudable goal, but one title is ample. Frankly, I'd like to see women as conversant in Jane Austen and Colette as they are in complex carbs.

Since it's the September issue, there is a terrific "Real Life 101" kids' guide, which includes useful tips on saving the planet. There's also a back-to-school one, which lists three essentials to boosting grades: organizational skills (a completion date for assignments), an inquiring mind (ask piercing questions) and praise (recognize effort). Pentagon, are you listening? Points 1 and 2 are a must on any pre- or post-war to-do list.

The section also suggests getting your child involved in the presidential election. If Paris Hilton can rebut McCain's ad -- "I'm just hot!" -- probably her energy policy, your kids can plug in, too. In the 9-12 age category, WD invites them to visit scholastic.com and play "If You Were President," an interactive game that balances an imaginary budget. If only Washington would balance the real one! I suspect the average Woman's Day reader is more adept and less wasteful than the Feds. What woman in her right mind would pay $450 for a wrench or $42 for a can of Coke? Those figures come courtesy of the General Accounting Office. You can't make this stuff up.

That's why I enjoyed perusing the pub. It offers helpful info presented in a friendly layout. Who wouldn't love "Fake 'n' Bake," the secret shortcuts to impressive desserts? Living well is also about time management. Best of all: the health section recommends red wine, which has been linked to lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of osteoporosis and dementia. Say what you will about sleep, eating fish and socializing, when it comes to living la vida loca, color me red.

StoresOnline, Stores Online, Imergent, and Terminal Resource

We received a letter in the mail offering us a free meal and a free MP3 player if we would attend a "Conference" for StoresOnline that seems to be offering a complete package designed to let you sell things on the Internet. The main company behind this seems to be:

StoresOnline.com
Imergent, Inc.

754 E Technology Ave
Orem, UT 84097 US
801-434-8582 Phone
801-226-8848 Fax

Terminal Resource, L.C.
51 West Center, Suite 208
Orem, UT
888.296.5022
Fax 801.691.5566

Doing some searches in Google for "stores online scam" and "stores online sucks" will turn up some interesting listings that you may want to check out if you are thinking about attending. But you may save yourself a trip if you just visit their web site first. While the site looks very professional, the thing you will discover there is that they are offering their service for $300 a month. While they may be providing more than simple hosting, they better be providing a hell of a lot more, since that is pretty outrageous for any startup ecommerce hosting account that provides little in return that guarantees you will be making anything from your investment. Oh I forgot to mention that you have to commit to 1 YEAR of hosting with them, or $3,600. If you know little to nothing about web hosting, designing, marketing, and promotion I doubt VERY much that you will make your money back. Think about it. If you could really make a lot of money with little effort, wouldn't you just do that for your self to start with? Why would you sell a great money making system to others?

Your first clue is the fact that while they are offering something that you should be excited about and they have to give you a free meal AND a free MP3 player, just to make sure they get you in the door...!

So my advice is to check it out if you are interested. Get the free meal and free MP3 player. But make darned sure you know what you are investing in before you give them any money! If you have any doubts what I suggest is you look around and find an Internet or ecommerce consultant and pay them to help you get started. You will pay a LOT less money and have a MUCH better chance of starting a real business that may do well. And expect to pay a monthly hosting fee that will be between $15-$50 a month, NOT $300 a month!

P.S. I just found a site called Stores Online Sucks and I will list the link below. For me, this confirms EXACTLY what I had been thinking about this company. They are taking advantage of people that have some money but are generally clueless about the web.

Fort Worth, Texas Hosts NASCAR

NASCAR Comes to Texas

The thirteenth annual Samsung 500 races into Fort Worth this Sunday.

Austin, TX  -  April 13 -- It's been 11 years since NASCAR first came to Texas, with the opening of the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth back in 1996. With an appropriate venue came big ticket NASCAR events like the Samsung 500 and Dickies 500 (both of the NEXTEL Cup series), the first of which gears up this Sunday, April 15th.

Race week kicks off with the Dallas Morning News Qualifying Days this Thursday and Friday. The O'Reilly 300, a NASCAR Busch Series race, is scheduled for Saturday. All culminating in the excitement and fanfare that is the Samsung 500 on Sunday.

What makes this event truly Texan is the winner's tradition -- the donning of a cowboy hat and the firing of six-shooters. You don't get more Lone Star than that. But for the past 12 Samsung 500 victories, a different victor has held the honor. Will 2007 be the year that a repeat winner is finally crowned or will we see a 13th racer celebrate?

Watch your favorite NASCAR stars take on Texas' famed 1.5 mile track this weekend. Ticket City is offering deep discounts on anything from backstretch to pit-side seats. To purchase tickets, including one-day to four-day badges or Hospitality, should call (800) SOLD-OUT or go online to www.TicketCity.com.

About TicketCity.com
TicketCity.com sells tickets for all sports, concerts and theatre shows -- both in the U.S. and around the world. Founded in 1990, TicketCity.com has grown into the most trusted source for secondary tickets to every major event from the Derby to the Masters to the Super Bowl to the U.S. Open.

Trading Club Delivers Stock Picks, Trade Set-ups and Market Intelligence

Swing Trading Club from Investing Systems Delivers Stock Picks, Trade Set-ups and Market Intelligence to Day Traders, Swing Traders and Long Term Investors

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla.-- July 26, 2008 --Investing Systems announced today the opening of their new Swing Trading Club for traders and investors.

"Buy and hold investing has seen better days," said William McKinley, President of Investing Systems. "Most people believe that you need to take a more active role in order to effectively manage a portfolio."

The swing trading club offers trade set-ups daily and shows investors the entry and exit strategy, the stop-loss points and target prices for each trade. The site features a chat room, market trend indicators and commentary from professional traders.

"Everyone knows that you need to invest for yourself," McKinley said. "But that does not mean that you have to trade by yourself."

The Swing Trading Club is open to all traders and investors and even includes training sessions and coaching on specific technical trading styles. The subscription price is just $49.95 per month and the members already love the interaction with other traders.

"People like to trade along with others in the club," McKinley said. "Beginners are learning the ropes and experienced traders like to share their expertise. We think everyone should take a serious look at the club if only to have some trading buddies to bounce ideas with."

Investing Systems Inc. manages a network of more than 100 websites focused on the benefits of disciplined systematic investing. Customers in more than 70 countries have used ISI products and services to become better, more disciplined, investors.

"I am not sure exactly how many members we will let into the club," McKinley said. "The most important thing to us is that people have fun, make money and become better traders and investors. If we have to limit the size, we will."

Update and Manage Location Information Across the Web

Yahoo! Launches Fire Eagle

New Platform Enables Users to Easily Update and Manage Their Location Information Across the Web

SUNNYVALE, Calif.-- August 12, 2008 --Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today announced the general availability of Fire Eagle (
http://fireeagle.yahoo.net), an open platform that helps users take their location to the Web while giving them the ability to easily control how and where their location data is shared.

Fire Eagle gives users a place to store and manage information about their location, and offers developers clear protocols for updating or accessing that information. Because it's open, any networked service can use Fire Eagle to respond to a user's location - to help them find their friends, annotate the world or find nearby services or local information.

"Fire Eagle is about making everything on the Internet more useful, fun or interesting by adding the element of location," said Tom Coates, head of product at Yahoo! Brickhouse. "We're here to help people take their location to the Web by giving them the ability to control how much detail about their location they want to share and which applications they want to share it with."

Fire Eagle makes it much easier for both users and developers to create Internet experiences that are geo-aware:

    * For users, Fire Eagle acts as a simple interface for managing location information and deciding how - and with whom - to share it. Users can authorize Web, mobile or desktop applications to update their location automatically, or they can do it themselves manually on the Fire Eagle Web or mobile sites. Then they can decide how much of that information to share with their favorite services. At any time they can hide themselves, change their sharing preferences or delete any of their stored information.

    * For developers, Fire Eagle takes away much of the costly and complicated heavy-lifting of developing geo-aware applications. Developers can focus on how they can use location in their services without having to build the infrastructure to work out where their users are. Fire Eagle - combined with Yahoo!'s full suite of geo technologies - now makes it practical for any service to become location-aware easily and inexpensively.

Fire Eagle was built at Yahoo! Brickhouse, a home for start-up like projects inside Yahoo where small teams seize on new ideas and create products around them. Since its private beta launch in March of this year, Fire Eagle has been integrated into over fifty live applications, including Dopplr, Pownce, Movable Type, and Outside.in, through the platform's well-received API.

Optimize Your Domain Extension For Six Figures

How New TLDs Could Impact Your SEO

by Andrew Hazen , Thursday, August 14, 2008
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced June 26 that it had given preliminary approval to a recommendation to introduce a whole range of new Internet domain names, which would pave the way for a seismic increase in online real estate.

Talk about the Internet being like the Wild, Wild West. Along with the extraordinary expansion of domain name choices and opportunities would come HUGE potential for search engine marketing.

Currently, there is a limited range of 21 top-level domains (TLDs) from which to choose, such as .com, .org, .info and .uk. According to ICANN, this decision will allow applicants for new names to select the most marketable domains, making them perfect for attracting their target customers.

So businesses will now be able to apply for generic strings like .brandname or .yournamehere. ICANN even reports that there are already interested consortiums wanting to establish city-based TLDs like .nyc, .berlin and .paris.

At first glance, this seems to make perfect sense. But my hope is that it doesn't spiral out of control, becoming a field day for cybersquatters that register, traffic in or use domain names in bad faith, intending to profit from the goodwill of someone else's trademark.

That would create a huge nightmare for established brands like Amazon.com, which would need to procure a laundry list of domains -- everything from books.amazon and music.amazon to amazon.books and amazon.music -- to prevent cybersquatters from wrongfully registering and profiting from its name.

It should be noted, however, that ICANN will not be selling the new TLDs for some time. The recommendation must first receive final approval early next year, followed by a limited period in which any established entity can submit an application for evaluation.

Search Engines and the Domainrush If and when it does happen, look for an immediate impact on search engine marketing. Search engines love keyword-enriched domain names, since finding exact keywords in domains proves to be an extremely strong indicator of a Web site's relevance to a search query.

By combining a newly acquired generic domain name with a very good search engine optimization (SEO) strategy, a small company could find itself ranking among extremely competitive search terms and among Fortune 1000 companies. Of course, Web sites need quality inbound links to rank high on Google, but a great domain name can go a long way.

Keyword-enriched domain names and URL paths (there is a difference) are usually what it takes to achieve a top-10 organic ranking. Take, for example, AllFreshSeafood.com (ranking No. 4 on Google for "fresh seafood"); BreakingNews.com (No. 6 on Yahoo for latest breaking news") and BagelBoss.com (No. 4 on Google for "bagels"). I'm sure you get the point.

Still, non-keyword-enriched domain names can be optimized by adding keyword-enriched page names. For example, StorageDeluxe.com sits atop Google for "Brooklyn storage" and the URL path is www.storagedeluxe.com/locations_brooklyn.asp; a Google search for "used Acura parts" returns www.uneedapart.com/used-acura-parts.php as No. 1; and a search on Yahoo for "cardio exercises" yields www.lucilleroberts.com/cardio-exercies on the first page of the search results.

Now that we've established that a keyword-enriched domain name can be extraordinarily valuable, just think about owing a domain like .insurance -- you could have auto.insurance, life.insurance, health.insurance, business.insurance, etc. Beyond the obvious and tremendous SEO benefit, imagine what this will do to build brands.

I am curious to see if those who register new generic TLDs will use them to dominate their niche or resell domains. Only time will tell.

ICANN reports that there will be a six-figure charge for registering these new domains. That is chump change for major domains -- and even those that want to be

Revolutionary HIV Testing Bill Passes

Bill to 'Revolutionize' HIV Testing Passes California Legislature Unanimously

AB 2899 (Portantino, D-Pasadena), Sponsored by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), Overhauls Counseling Model for HIV Testing Programs; Bill Eliminates Outdated 'One Size Fits All' Approach for More Prudent Public Health Approach

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-- August 12, 2008 --AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the operator of the largest non-government HIV testing program in California, today praised the California Legislature for its passage this week of Assembly Bill 2899 (Portantino, D-Pasadena).

"AB 2899 will revolutionize the way we do HIV testing in California, and we strongly urge the Governor to sign this bill," said Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "Today, in government-funded programs, extensive education and counseling is required for every person regardless of how many times they might have been tested. Treating the young person, who is testing for the first time the same as a person in their forties or fifties who has been tested dozens of times doesn't make sense. This important reform will allow AHF, the largest HIV tester in California, to do three times as many tests per hour as we do now. The unanimous approval of the legislature for this common sense approach to HIV testing is very encouraging."

The bill, known as the Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS Counseling Reform Bill, unanimously cleared both chambers of the Legislature this week-clearing the California Assembly (64-0) earlier today after clearing the Senate in a 36 to 0 vote yesterday.

"This bill brings the requirements for HIV counseling in line with where we are today in our knowledge and understanding of HIV/AIDS and other STDs, and it will allow us to focus our counseling efforts where they are most needed-to those at high risk and those who may test positive," said Joey Terrill, Acting Director of Public Affairs for AIDS Healthcare Foundation, co-sponsor of the bill. "The California Legislature has recognized the importance of this prudent public health legislation with its unanimous passage in both chambers. When this bill is chaptered into law, it will allow the Department of Public Health and the State Office of AIDS far more flexibility in its counseling regulations to best serve and reflect the needs of communities throughout California."

AB 2899 codifies the changes that testing organizations need to conform their practices to current needs and to facilitate the swift introduction of newer counseling models by the Office of AIDS.

About AHF

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is the nation's largest non-profit HIV/AIDS healthcare provider. AHF currently provides medical care and/or services to more than 80,000 individuals in 20 countries worldwide in the US, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean and Asia.

Bonds Outlook Stable

Fitch Upgrades Cape Regional Medical Center's (NJ) Bonds to 'A'; Outlook Stable

NEW YORK-- August 11, 2008 --Fitch Ratings has upgraded the $23.5 million outstanding New Jersey Health Care Facilities Financing Authority revenue bonds (Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital, Inc. Issue), series 1999 to 'A' from 'A-'. The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating upgrade to 'A' is based on Cape Regional Medical Center's (Cape Regional; formerly Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital, Inc.) excellent liquidity and light debt burden as well as improved operations over the last 3 1/2 fiscal years. At fiscal year end Dec. 31 2007, Cape Regional had days cash on hand (DCOH) of 273.1 days and cash to debt of 301.9%, both well above Fitch's 'A' category medians of 185.2 DCOH and 111.6% cash to debt. Additionally, Cape Regional defeased its 1991 series bonds in fiscal 2007.

Maximum annual debt service (MADS) on the remaining series 1999 bonds is $2.1 million, which is $1.2 million lower than previous MADS. Pro forma debt service coverage in fiscal 2007 was a strong 6.2 times (x), above Fitch's 'A' category median of 4x, and the cushion ratio was 33.3x, more than double Fitch's 'A' category median of 15.4x. Unaudited results for six months ended June 30, 2008 show MADS coverage of 5.5x and a cushion ratio of 31.4x.

In addition to Cape Regional's strong liquidity and light debt burden, operations over the last 3 1/2 fiscal years have continued to improve. Since fiscal 2005, Cape Regional has improved operations with positive operating margins two out of the last three years and positive excess margins in all three years. Cape Regional ended fiscal 2007 with a 0.6% positive operating margin and a 5% positive excess margin ($5.6 million in total excess income). Further indication of the operational turnaround has been the improvement to Cape Regional's operating EBITDA margin and EBITDA margins. Cape Regional's Operating EBITDA and EBITDA margins have averaged 7.5% and 11.2%, respectively, from 2005-2007 compared to 5.3% and 7.3% from 2002-2004.

The Stable Outlook is based on Cape Regional's continued market dominance, lighter debt burden, and Fitch's belief that Cape Regional will be able to sustain the current operating performance. Cape Regional enjoys a 72% market share in its primary service area as its nearest competitor is more than 20 miles away. This market dominance helps to offset concerns about Cape Regional's small revenue size for the rating category. Ongoing credit concerns include Cape Regional's rising bad debt expense and vulnerability of revenue stream given the seasonality of admissions.

Fitch does not anticipate Cape Regional issuing additional debt over the next few years. A prior credit concern of Fitch's had been the hospital's capital needs. Management has begun increasing capital spending, including a $2.2 million renovation of inpatient rooms. Capital expenditures as percentage of depreciation increased to 217.4% in fiscal 2007 from 66.2% in fiscal 2006; Fitch's 'A' category median is 155.8%. Given Cape Regional's operational turnaround, Fitch anticipates that over the medium term the hospital will be able to continue to fund capital projects from cash flow and philanthropy without the need to issue debt.

Fitch believes that Cape Regional will be able to sustain current levels of operations. Cape Regional has significantly lowered its length of stay over the past few years, from 4.9 days in fiscal 2004 to 4.3 days in fiscal 2007, started a hospitalists program, had strong physician recruitment, and established an affiliation with University of Penn Health System for oncology and cardiology, which has improved cardiology coverage at the hospital. These programs should help sustain operating margins over the medium term. While Cape Regional has a negative 0.8% margin for the first six months of fiscal 2008, it showed bottom line profitability with a 3% excess margin, and is ahead of budget heading into the busy tourist season. Management indicated that the volume numbers from the first two months of the season, June and July, have been strong.

Cape Regional is a 242-licensed (208 operated) bed facility located in Cape May County off exit 10 on the Garden State Parkway, approximately 45 miles south of Atlantic City. Cape Regional, with total revenue of $107.5 million in fiscal 2007, is part of the Cape Regional Health System, which includes a foundation, and Cape Regional Health Enterprises, which houses a small management services organization. Cape Regional covenants to provide annual and quarterly disclosure to bondholders. Disclosure to bondholders has been good, including quarterly income statement, balance sheet, cash flows, utilization, and management discussion and analysis.

Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the 'Code of Conduct' section of this site.

Teaching Kids About Math and Science Using Baseball

Baseball Used to Teach Kids About Math and Science Through Sports Byte Competition

At minor league baseball stadiums, children ranging in age are learning the science and math behind the sport all while having a good time watching the game courtesy of the Ewing Kauffman Foundation and powered by Hot Lava Software.

Warrenton, VA, August 08, 2008 -- The Ewing Kauffman Foundation realized that a growing problem in our society is the lack of interest in the math and science fields of study, especially in the up and coming generation of students. With an interesting play on learning and enabled by Hot Lava Software, kids are "head faked", using the words of Randy Pausch, into learning about the science behind the game of baseball.

Minor League teams such as the Frederick Keys, Bowie Baysocks, Wilmington Blue Rocks, Delmarva Shorebirds, Kansas City T-Bones, and Aberdeen Ironbirds have already started participating in this new-age learning program.

At home games, between innings, a nutty professor takes the stage on top of the home team dugout. Quickly catching the attention of the audience, a cell phone ring is played over the loud speaker. The professor challenges the audience, "Are you smarter than me, the professor?"

Now that the audience is enticed, "the professor" asks a science-based question about the game of baseball such as "Which has more drag, a smooth ball (sporta) or a rough ball (sportb)?"

Using the technology by Hot Lava Software, answers are text messaged to a number that is displayed up on the big screen and immediately the user receives a text message back that states if the answer provided was correct along with a hot link to a site with more educational information about baseball. Out of all the participants, one is chosen to receive a prize package including things such as team paraphernalia all the way to a free Kajeet cell phone.

Audiences seem very interested in this technology-enabled between inning game. The pre-teen to teen ages especially show great interest in participating in a game at a baseball stadium where they are the target audience and they can utilize their cell phones. It is a change to the activities that focus more on younger children.

So far tens of thousands of baseball fans have been reached through this method of learning simply by attending a baseball game. Without even knowing, all of these users have experienced more than just a baseball game when the last pitch is thrown; they have been taught the physics behind the game and a few walk away inspired to learn more.

Electronic Automotive Brakes and Clutches Market Worth Billions

Automotive Brakes and Clutches Market to Reach $72.2 Billion by 2010, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Marred by depressed business conditions in the automobile industry, and recession in the United States, global sales of automotive brakes and clutches are projected to inch up to $72.2 billion by the year 2010. Although the market is mature, new systems such as electronic stability control (ESC) and brake by wire are expected to pep up growth.

San Jose, CA  -  April 23 -- As the market recovers poise, the steady conversion in the automobile industry from conventional systems to advanced electronic systems is forecast to help prop up growth in the upcoming years. The brake sector is one of the largest markets in the overall automotive parts industry. For a long time, the most common brake systems have been drum brakes and disc brakes. However new systems such as electronic stability control (ESC) and brake by wire are expected to keep the market sufficiently kindled. Brake-by-wire (BBW), a new technology is expected to revolutionize the market by providing safer braking and eliminating massive hydraulic technology. Advancements in this segment include anti-lock braking system (ABS), emergency-braking assistance (EBA), which are relatively young in the market. In the case of new technology introduction, Europe is ahead of North America largely due to greater appreciation and more willingness to pay for advanced technologies.

Europe, one of the three major vehicle markets of the industrial world, is seeing shifts in automotive transmission technologies. Despite facing strong resistance from consumers, automatic transmissions are advancing in terms of market share, particularly in the northern region. One technology that is expected to face little consumer resistance and offers the best of both worlds is dual-clutch technology. Dual-clutch gearbox is described by the terms such as power shift gearbox, direct shift gearbox, and twin clutch gearbox. The technology integrates the benefits of a conventional manual transmission with features of a novel automatic transmission.

Europe represents the largest automotive brakes and clutches market, with value sales of almost $20.4 billion estimated in the year 2008, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Automotive Brakes Market in Asia-Pacific is forecast to reach $15.0 billion by the year 2015, while Automotive Clutches Market in Europe is projected to grow at a CAGR of 0.22% over the years 2011through 2015. Within the brakes product group, foundation brakes represent the largest and the most mature, particularly in the developed world. Electronic brake systems market is expected to exhibit strong growth over the years 2011 through 2015. These systems are slowly eating into the share of foundation brakes.

Families Informed About Insurance Coverage With Medical Reimbursement Resource

Medical Reimbursement Resource LLC of Houston Helps Families Stay Informed, Choose Right Insurance Coverage

Company Educates Consumers of Medicare Part C Advantage Plan Enrollment Period Deadline - March 31, 2008

Houston, TX  -  March 12 -- Medical Reimbursement Resource (MRR) LLC, a leading patient advocacy company in Houston, advises the Medicare community of March 31st Medicare Part C enrollment deadline and helps educate consumers on the best health insurance choices for their situation.

MRR professionals explain that the Medicare program is a federal program that helps senior citizens and other qualifying individuals pay for health care. Divided into parts, A, B, C, and D, Part C is an alternative to Parts A and B. Under Part C, private health
insurance companies can contract with the federal government to offer Medicare benefits through their own policies.

"Medicare Part C Advantage Plans are not for everyone. Generally the choice of providers is more limited than with traditional Medicare Parts A & B. Individuals with
special health problems and working with physicians that are important to them are recommended to remain on Medicare Parts A and B," said MRR owner Jane Lehto.

"However, it's great to have another insurance option available for Medicare beneficiaries. This is where Medicare Part C comes in," Lehto added.

Lehto and her staff help clients
choose the right insurance coverage and receive all benefits to which they are entitled under their particular policy. With over 40 plans from which to choose in Texas, it is an often difficult process through which to navigate for the unknowing consumer.

Lehto further explained that the type of candidates qualifying for the Medicare Part C, particularly the Medicare Part C Advantage Plus plan, would be those in
fragile health and on fixed incomes. The relatively new plans include either HMO's or PPO's and come with modest premiums. A vast number of physicians and hospitals participate in the plans.

"And effective this past January is the option for those switching from Medicare Parts A and B to return to their plans for whatever reason during the enrollment period from November 15 through December 31, 2008," said Lehto.

MRR also assists
patients and their families with problem health insurance claims and medical bills, benefit issues, along with insurance choices and a myriad of issues that the consumer faces in today's challenging and complex insurance world.

Predicted Increase in Female Mesothelioma Victims

LegalView Informs Mesothelioma Blog Readers of a Predicted Increase in Female Mesothelioma Victims

LegalView updated readers to an alarming prediction by researchers who said the number of female mesothelioma victims may increase within the next few years. Researchers said that asbestos in hair dryers that were previously unregulated may be the cause.

Denver, CO - July 21, 2008 -- LegalView, the most comprehensive legal resource on the Web, reported on its mesothelioma information blog a potential increase of mesothelioma cancer victims within the next few years, particularly among women, according to researchers. In 1979, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released information regarding 26 companies and manufacturers of hand-held hair dryers that had been made with asbestos. While the 26 companies had voluntarily taken action to correct the asbestos-containing hair dryers, individuals who had used the tainted hair dryers may be at risk for developing mesothelioma and should consider contacting a mesothelioma lawyer for information on the development of a potential mesothelioma lawsuit.

Mesothelioma is a deadly form of lung cancer that is caused through the inhalation of asbestos fibers. While asbestos was largely used in the construction industry, commonly within insulation, it has also been used in other products including hair dryers. While the hair dryers were corrected and became asbestos-free nearly 30 years ago it is common for mesothelioma to remain dormant for years and even decades, which is why researchers are concerned with a new group of individuals becoming afflicted by mesothelioma and symptoms becoming prevalent now. Researchers are also particularly concerned for women because women allegedly use hair dryers more than men. To learn more about developing litigation, contact a mesothelioma law firm or mesothelioma attorney to better understand the potential for developing an asbestos-related lawsuit and receiving monetary compensation for the costly bills usually associated with a mesothelioma cancer diagnosis.

In addition to information on mesothelioma, LegalView also offers details on a plethora of other legal issues afflicting millions of Americans each year. For example, readers can learn about the latest fluoroquinolones black box warning labeling. Fluoroquinolones are a group of antibiotics that have become increasingly at risk for severe side effects. Of the fluoroquinolones group, the most commonly prescribed drugs are Levaquin and Cipro. Levaquin, also known as levofloxacin, is manufactured by Ortho-McNeil and treats bacterial infections, specifically treating infections such as skin infections, chronic bacterial prostates, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, bronchitis and acute pyelonephritis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). The drug, which was released in 1996, has been the center of numerous clinical trials and studies because of the possible Levaquin side effects, which can include the most serious - Achilles tendon rupture - as well as jaundice, seizures, hallucinations, abdominal tenderness and limb numbness.

Similar to Levaquin is Cipro (ciprofloxacin) from Bayer A.G., which was approved for market use in 2000 and is used to treat bacterial infections similar to those treated by Levaquin. The Cipro risks are the same as Levaquin, which is an increased risk of tendonitis. Additionally, Cipro has other side effects that may also be harmful to patients. Some of the side effects include seizure, difficulty breathing, depression, suicidal thoughts, blacking out and hallucinations.

LegalView also has information on other controversial prescription drugs including Avandia. Avandia is a type 2 diabetes drug that has recently been linked to severe risks among patients. The Avandia dangers may include an increased risk of heart failure as well as a higher risk of developing early onset osteoporosis. Patients who may have developed either of these side effects while taking Avandia should speak with an experienced pharmaceutical lawyer to better understand the potential for developing a potential Avandia lawsuit.

Holliday Book Titled "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY"

Dr. Holliday Announces New book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY"

Dr. Holliday is releasing a new book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY." It is powerful, well written and a must read. The awakened part of the Church of today has now no doubt of the real existence of the spirit beings of evil that are attacking families while the sleeping church remains under the cover of the powers of darkness.

Jacksonville, FL  -  April 23 -- Dr. Holliday is releasing a new book, "Sexual Magic ~ SEX IN THE MINISTRY." It is powerful, well written and a must read. The awakened part of the Church of today has now no doubt of the real existence of the spirit beings of evil that are attacking families while the sleeping church remains under the cover of the powers of darkness.

Dr. Holliday asserts in her new book, "Due to wide-spread pornographic material, many force their spouses into sexual perversions, leading the mate into deviate sex. However, in our day due to powerful sexual brainwashing by some churches, schools, televisions, radios and Medias, women and men have, in many instances, become willing slaves to sexual demons. Her research uncovers the spiritual truth concerning ruling evil demons over marriages and sexual activities.

Dr. Holliday cautions, "In order to understand the working of the deceiver-prince of this power of the air, and become acute to discern his tactics and his methods of deceiving men and women, such believers should search the Scriptures thoroughly to obtain a knowledge of his character, and how spirits of evil are able to possess, and use the bodies of people."

"These Marriage Breaking Spirits," she goes on to inform, "are principalities called Asmodeus, Osmodeus, Abaddon, Apollyon and Beelzebub that cause rejection, divorce and overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuousness, impurity and psychic activities."

She warns that there are serious consequences concerning "playing" with sexual demons. Dr. Holliday says, "These ruler spirits cause rejection, divorce and overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuousness, impurity, psychic activities and lose of faith. Due to wide- spread pornographic material, many force their spouses into sexual perversions, leading the mate into perverse, deviate sex. However, in our day," she says, "due to powerful sexual brainwashing by some churches, schools, televisions, radio and media, women and men have, in many instances, become willing slaves to sexual demons."

Dr. Holliday gives notice to the Church that the greatest threat today is the willing neglect of guarding against sexual sin. "Sadly, sexual evil is prevalent even among Christians leadership and perhaps no other area in the life of a believer where he or she is more vulnerable to spiritual attacks than the area of his or her sexuality."

She believes that the Church must understand the power of deliverance. "Sadly, sexual evil is prevalent even among Christians leadership," she asserts, "and perhaps no other area in the life of a believer where he or she is more vulnerable to spiritual attacks than the area of his or her sexuality."

Sexual Magic ~ Sex In The Ministry:
Dr. Holliday goes on to express her concern for Church leaders, "Standards are collapsing in the pulpits. Just before a former pastor of a Christian Church was arrested and charged with capital sexual battery in 2006, another associate pastor and counselor resigned or fired from the staff. The church leadership had been warned of the associate pastor's sordid past in North Carolina, but they hired him anyway! The Church critics consisting of former and present members want to know how the cavalier, even reckless, disregard for innocent youth can be justified by ministers of the Gospel. Church leaders are to protect the sheep from preying wolves not pay wolves to ravage the sheep. Sexual predators should be in prison, not the pulpit."

She writes, "Today there is a special attack of deceiving spirits upon the Christian Church. She considers that this is a deliverance manual that will explain how demons that are engaged and operate." She reveals that the awakened part of the Church of today must now have no doubt of the reality of the existence concerning evil spirit beings and that the Church has the spiritual keys to the power of solution.

"This is a book," she says, "that challenges the church to awaken from its spiritual slumber that there is an organized realm of supernatural powers, set up in opposition to Christ, and His kingdom, bent upon the eternal ruin of every member of the human race; these believers also know that God is calling them to seek the fullest information for withstanding and resisting these enemies of Christ and His Church."

Dr. Holliday believes that, "Today there is a special onslaught of (Chaotic sexual) deceiving spirits released upon the Church which is the fulfillment of the prophecy the Holy Spirit expressly made known to the Church through the Apostle Paul, 'that a great deceptive onslaught would take place in the "later times.' Since the utterance of the prophecy, more than two thousand years have passed by but the special manifestation of evil spirits of deception today, points unmistakably to the fact that we are at the close of the age."

Dr. Holliday demonstrates that Satan is sending his agents into the Church to cause ministers to fall into sexual sins. "Leaders must make special efforts to guard against "opportunities", she cautions "while counseling people of the opposite sex or with sexual problems, could find themselves in compromising situations."

Dr. Holliday cites the following incident, "A pastor that I know received a hysterical call from a woman who was in his congregation. He agreed to make a "house call." Fortunately for him, he took his wife along because when the woman opened the door, she flung her robe open and he was face to face with this Jezebel spirit. The pastor's wife stepped in front of him and when the seductress woman saw the wife, she slammed the door shut. Satan will lay all kinds of traps to make you fall into sin. Be careful."

"If you have fallen into sexual sin, you must submit to deliverance," says Dr. Holliday. "You have subjected yourself to demonic powers and you must repent confront the demons through the power of Jesus Christ to deliver the demons and their control. When you invite a devil in, you have to kick him out."

Dr. Holliday writes, "These demonic spirits are responsible for divorce and the source rejection of sexual genders and characteristics, such as -- overpowering tendencies to rage, lust, impetuous, impurity and psychic activities. Asmodeus wars against all marriages, also keeps many from getting married. He is "king of the demons", and sometimes equated with Abaddon, Apollyon and Beelzebub. He is known as the "angel of the bottomless pit." And in the last days this spirit will take on the form of frogs and locusts."

"Remember this is not fiction but a true drama in the Christian Church. Sexual Magic in the Ministry is real and it is on the rise and it is widespread and happening now!" says Holliday.

Spending For Music Sponsorship Up In 2008

Music Sponsorship Spending To Total $1.04 Billion In 2008

North American-based companies will spend an estimated $1.04 billion to sponsor music venues, festivals and tours this year, a four percent increase from $1 billion in '07, according to IEG Sponsorship Report, the world's leading authority on sponsorship.

Chicago, IL  -  April 14 -- North American-based companies will spend an estimated $1.04 billion to sponsor music venues, festivals and tours this year, a four percent increase from $1 billion in '07, according to IEG Sponsorship Report, the world's leading authority on sponsorship.

Among developments in the world of live music sponsorship are new efforts to create bundled offerings for sponsors that in the past may have been satisfied with one-off concert, venue or event deals.

Such a strategy has been adopted by Live Nation, Inc. and other players in the music space. For example, The Festival Network, LLC -- owner of the Dunkin' Donuts Newport Folk Festival, JVC Jazz Festivals and other national and international music events -- plans to model its sponsorship packages after the worldwide Olympic TOP sponsorship program.

Citigroup Inc.'s Citi Cards unit in February announced a multiyear deal with Live Nation that is reportedly valued at close to $100 million. The deal includes access to Live Nation tours -- including presenting sponsorship of The Police's current tour -- as well as pre-sale ticket offers, VIP hospitality, the opportunity for venue naming rights and other benefits.

"The shift away from one-off deals in favor of bundled packages by some of the industry's major venue and festival owners should lead to significantly larger deals than the music industry has seen in the past," said William Chipps, IEG Sponsorship Report's senior editor.

Spending on live music also reflects a spate of new regional and national music festivals, all of which are actively marketing partnerships. They include Michigan's Rothbury Festival, New Jersey's All Points West Music & Arts Festival and the touring Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival.

The live music industry also has benefited from new spending by categories and companies not traditionally involved in music.

Case in point: Shoe marketer Crocs, Inc. this year signed new deals with roughly 30 music festivals and venues including Milwaukee's Summerfest, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, Seattle's Bumbershoot and Manchester, Tenn.'s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. Additionally, Hankook Tire America Corp. late last year announced a partnership with Eyeball Records, around which it is supplying tires for vehicles driven by the label's touring bands in exchange for exposure on the company's Web site and bands' MySpace pages.

Even companies that have long supported music are moving into new areas within the medium. For example, Toyota Motor Sales USA's Scion brand is adding heavy metal to a sponsorship portfolio that has traditionally centered around DJ performances and other urban-centric events.

"The live music industry is seeing more interest from both established companies and smaller, more niche players, all of whom are aligning with music to gain a point of differentiation," Chipps said.

Active categories sponsoring music include airlines, apparel, auto, beer, cable, computer storage makers, energy drinks, insurance, soft drinks and wireless telecommunications.

Other recent deals include Lexus' presenting sponsorship of Alicia Keys' tour; Kia Motor America's sponsorship of the Vans Warped Tour; Champion apparel's tie with Lenny Kravtiz's recent outing; and Time Warner Cable's title of Raleigh, N.C.'s Walnut Creek Amphitheatre.

Olympics Ticket Scams Continues

Investigation of Olympics Ticket Scams Continues, According to the Moriarty Leyendecker Erben Law Firm

HOUSTON & BOULDER, Colo.-- August 03, 2008 --An ongoing investigation of Olympics ticket scams has identified defrauded consumers throughout the world, according to the law firm of Moriarty Leyendecker Erben.

The law firm - whose senior partner, Jim Moriarty, was himself victimized by an official-looking ticket web site - has been contacted by individuals in several nations since the firm launched a web site (www.beijingticketscam.com) on Saturday to support the investigation.

"The consumer response to the investigation is extraordinary," Moriarty said. "Our team is reviewing longer-term litigation options, but with the opening ceremonies for the Games just a few days away, we're also trying to help these individuals salvage their Olympics trips. Their stories are heartbreaking. We've even heard from families of Olympians whose dreams to see their loved ones compete in China are at risk."

The International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee recently filed lawsuits in U.S. federal courts against operators of two web sites, alleging that they are using committee trademarks to deceive and defraud the public. The lawsuits do not seek to recover losses for defrauded consumers.

Moriarty said, "We believe the Olympic committees should have addressed this problem months ago, when consumer complaints first arose - not last week after the deadline for legitimate ticket holders to transfer Olympics tickets passed. That policy only compounds the problems of the victimized consumers who still hope to attend the Games."
