     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Cruise will feature tennis playing aboard the luxurious Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas as well as at exotic ports of call, followed by exciting tennis action at the Sony Ericsson Open.</p><p><br />Tennis vacations will never be the same claims Tennis Cruise founder and CEO Bob Lovinger.</p><p>&#34;We are so excited about our upcoming event we can hardly wait and we are really thrilled to have Owen Davidson with us&#34; he says.</p><p>Tennis Cruise takes place March 20 through March 29 and will feature Davidson, newly elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and tennis legend Fred Stolle. </p><p>What makes Tennis Cruise unique is the venue. Participants will be able to enjoy a luxury cruise, but with a twist. Not only will they play tennis in Miami, Cozumel Mexico, and Grand Cayman, but they will also get to play aboard the ship itself.</p><p>Also participating in the event will be representatives from ball machine manufacturer Playmate Tennis (<a href="http://www.playmatetennis.com" target="_blank">www.playmatetennis.com</a>), who will be running drills utilizing their state of the art machines. </p><p>In between, participants will participate in classroom clinics run by Davidson.</p><p>The key ingredient, according to Lovinger, is that Tennis Cruise is a vacation with a tennis theme. &#34;People don&#39;t have as much time and money as they have had in the past and they shouldn&#39;t be forced to compromise when it comes to spending time with their passions.&#34; he says. </p><p>In addition to the Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Cruise, Lovinger has four additional events planned thus far for 2010.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- DuPont Landscape Systems, a premier global supplier of landscape materials, and ForeverLawn, Inc., <a href="http://www.foreverlawn.com" target="_blank">www.foreverlawn.com</a>, the leading synthetic grass company, are working together to market an innovative line of natural-looking synthetic grass products marketed under the brand name DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass.</p><p>&#34;DuPont has been a pioneer in the gardening and landscaping arena for years,&#34; said Jim Davis, product portfolio manager, DuPont Landscape Systems. &#34;DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass is a natural fit for the DuPont standard of excellence. ForeverLawn works hard to produce quality products, and we are excited to be working with them.&#34;</p><p>DuPont Landscape Systems plans to launch the new product line on its website and implement a cooperative plan with ForeverLawn to increase the products&#39; market penetration in 2010.</p><p>DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass is an innovative line of artificial turf that goes beyond the current offerings in the turf industry to provide an incredibly realistic look and feel. Providing a lush, well-manicured appearance, the synthetic turf features a low-sheen, multi-colored blade structure with a unique tan thatch to enhance the natural grass presentation. Developed on ForeverLawn&#39;s proprietary product platform, the turf utilizes a durable monofilament fiber that can withstand the wear and tear of heavy traffic.  DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass also offers ForeverLawn&#39;s premium backing system and requires minimal infill, for a long-lasting, low-maintenance, high-quality option to almost any landscape application.</p><p>The DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass line includes four products: Select VR, Select LX, Select HD, and Select EL. Ranging in blade height, face weight, and green hues, each product offers its own level of uniqueness.  Whether the application is a small backyard area, or a full-scale commercial project, DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select Synthetic Grass is truly &#34;grass without limits.&#34;</p><p>The two companies have worked together on other projects including the annual Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival at Disneyworld held each spring.  DuPont and ForeverLawn joined forces along with other companies on a zero net energy retrofit project called the ReVISION House that was recently showcased by Building Media, Inc., in conjunction with the International Builders&#39; Show in Las Vegas. ReVISION Vegas is designed to showcase a full spectrum of green retrofit technologies and home performance upgrades.  DuPont&#8482; ForeverLawn&#174; Select VR was installed in the backyard of the home to maximize water savings, and provide a soft, beautiful, usable surfacing solution.</p><p>&#34;Partnering on this innovative product line has provided a great opportunity for both ForeverLawn and DuPont,&#34; said Brian Karmie, vice president of ForeverLawn.  &#34;We are excited to join the quality family of products at DuPont Landscape Systems and bring this unique and innovative line of artificial grass products to even more people.&#39;</p><p>Visit the web site at <a href="http://www.foreverlawn.com/news-dupont" target="_blank">www.foreverlawn.com/news-dupont</a>.</p><p>About ForeverLawn<br />ForeverLawn provides innovative synthetic grass products to create better landscapes worldwide. In areas where real grass is difficult to grow or maintain&#8212;due to high traffic or poor conditions&#8212;ForeverLawn offers a realistic alternative that is beautiful, functional, and durable.  In addition to its landscape lines, ForeverLawn also offers specialty products including K9Grass, SportsGrass, Playground Grass, GolfGreens, and SplashGrass.  </p><p>ForeverLawn&#8212;Grass without limits. <a href="http://www.foreverlawn.com" target="_blank">www.foreverlawn.com</a> <br /></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID113807 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENV">Environment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPT">Sports</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2010 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Sports/~4/Ke8RyN_wJSo" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whey Jacked&#8482;, formulated to help the body heal itself from the inside out, was recently introduced at the 2010 Phoenix Pro Body Building, Fitness and Figure competition in Mesa AZ.  Novus Nutrition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Novus Life Solutions, President and COO, Brandon J. Martin explained the astonishing advancement, &#39;Sports Nutrition is not just about the ingredients anymore&#39;, said Martin. <br /> <br />The addition of colostrum and probiotics to a protein formula, especially at this time when our digestive systems are under such stress, makes Whey Jacked&#8482; an ideal supplement for any athlete. To this strong base, Novus Nutrition has added GliSODin for catalytic anti-oxidant strength as well as Suma Root and Maca for that subtle energy surge.</p><p>&#39;A new age has dawned with the use of SU2 technology and we are happy to be the first to bring it to market&#39;, explained Martin. &#39;The human body is best thought of as an interacting field of coherent light. Everything you put in your body must resonate positively with this field in order for you to reach your highest potential. Whey Jacked&#8482; will help get you there, said Martin.&#39; </p><p>The formulation is the strongest, most potent mixture on the market today. However, the ingredients are not the entire story. Novus Nutrition has pioneered the use of a technology that takes Whey Jacked&#8482; beyond all other nutrition products. Novus Nutrition partnered with Dr. William Tiller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, to commercialize his scientific advancements in the realm of Magnetic/Information waves. Dr. Tiller has developed this theory and verified it with indisputable experiments over the last 40 years. Novus Nutrition has implemented this technology in a proprietary way into every aspect of its Whey Jacked&#8482; product. As a result, the impact of Whey Jacked&#8482; on the human body is immediate and profound.</p><p>Novus Nutrition provides advanced sports nutrition products for the most extreme athlete to the weekend warrior.  <a href="http://www.wheyjacked.com" target="_blank">www.wheyjacked.com</a>, Gilbert, AZ, (480) 477-9077, <a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:info&#64;wheyjacked.com">info&#64;wheyjacked.com</a>.</p><p></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID113813 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BIO">Biotechnology</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=REA">Retail</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPT">Sports</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPM">Supplementary Medicine / Nutrition</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2010 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Sports/~4/_xWeSHTMBvk" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

The service, which uses high-definition video and wideband audio to create an immersive meeting experience, will enable the president, secretary, coaches and managers to have important face-to-face discussions about team strategy and reach agreements faster, irrespective of their location.</p><p>&#34;Our new Deutschland TelePresence service is a complete service package for high-end live conferencing,&#34; says Dirk Backofen, head of Business Customer Marketing at Deutsche Telekom. &#34;On-screen meetings in HD quality ensure an extremely concentrated and efficient exchange of information, as befits the German team&#39;s World Cup preparations&#34;.</p><p>The German team manager, Oliver Bierhoff, is similarly impressed by the Deutschland TelePresence service: &#34;Telepresence optimizes our communications with each other, enabling us to respond to situations even more effectively. Deutsche Telekom and Cisco&#39;s support means that we can prepare for the World Cup in South Africa at a high technical standard.&#34;</p><p>Michael Ganser, senior vice president DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and head of the management board, Cisco Germany, said: &#34;A significant amount of human communication is non-verbal, and for global organisations like DFB, video plays a critical role in helping them to communicate effectively. Cisco TelePresence creates an immersive meeting experience, where attendees feel like they are sitting in the same room regardless of their location, helping DFB to not only field the best soccer team, but also lead the way as a next-generation sports team that has a global reach.&#34;</p><p>The innovative service will also be available to other customers following CeBIT. The complete package comprises all services from planning through installation of the system to operation &#8211; all at a fixed leasing price.</p><p>This will make the Deutschland TelePresence service attractive for various SME customers. The individual components are an IP line, Cisco TelePresence system, switching service, booking systems, security equipment, installation, operation and maintenance. All components complement each other perfectly, enabling customers to use the service simply and easily at the push of a button.</p><p>Deutsche Telekom has been a partner to the DFB and a Premium Partner to the national men&#39;s, women&#39;s and youth teams since 2005. The Group is also a national sponsor of the 2011 Women&#39;s World Cup in Germany. Alongside these sports commitments, Deutsche Telekom also uses football as a platform for promising business models.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM AND ST. PETERSBURG, FL, USA &#8211; The WTA Tour and Sony Ericsson today announced a two year extension to their existing partnership that will see Sony Ericsson, one of the world&#39;s leading mobile phone manufacturers, become the lead global sponsor for the Tour through to the end of 2012. </p><p>The Sony Ericsson-WTA Tour partnership has taken women&#39;s tennis to new audiences through unprecedented fusion of the sport with technology, fashion and music, enabling the Tour to lay the foundation for an unprecedented global growth of women&#39;s tennis.</p><p>&#39;Sony Ericsson has been an incredible partner for the last five years and this extension is both a real sign of strength and stability, and a testament to the investment value delivered by our players and tournaments,&#39; said Stacey Allaster, Chairman and CEO of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.  &#39;We are very pleased that Sony Ericsson will remain our partner and we look forward to continuing to deliver to fans and taking women&#39;s tennis and Sony Ericsson to new heights through our joint vision for the future of the sport.&#39;</p><p>Aldo Liguori, Corporate VP and Head of Global Communications &#38; PR, Sony Ericsson said, &#39;Our relationship with the WTA Tour over the past five years has been tremendously successful giving us significant international brand exposure and awareness. We are delighted to be extending this relationship for a further two years as we take the company into a new stage of growth.&#39;</p><p>World No. 5 Venus Williams, who played a role in the Tour&#39;s renewal discussions with Sony Ericsson, added: &#39;I&#39;ve been playing on Tour for 15 years now and it&#39;s amazing to see how much women&#39;s tennis has grown in the last five years since Sony Ericsson has been involved with the Tour. The value that Sony Ericsson brings to women&#39;s tennis is significant, giving us tremendous opportunities to market the sport and connect with fans in every corner of the globe.&#39;</p><p>&#34;Sony Ericsson&#39;s long-term partnership with women&#39;s tennis has taken the WTA Tour to a new level,&#34; said tennis legend and WTA Tour founder Billie Jean King.  &#34;Their commitment to our fans, players, tournaments and our values has been at the core of our success.&#34;</p><p>Under the extension agreement, Sony Ericsson will become the Tour&#39;s lead global sponsor and will retain the prime net signage at the Tour&#39;s 53 tournaments in 33 countries along with significant television and digital media rights, while becoming the Tour&#39;s lead global sponsor in lieu of title sponsor, resulting in a reversion of the Tour&#39;s official name to WTA Tour commencing later this year.  Additionally, Sony Ericsson will no longer title the Tour&#39;s year-end Championships from 2010, set to take place in Doha later this year and in Istanbul from 2011-2013.</p><p>Since partnering with the Tour in 2005, Sony Ericsson has taken the sport beyond the confines of the court and has continued to spark energy and interest in women&#39;s tennis. To attract new fans and broaden the appeal of the sport on a global basis, Sony Ericsson has championed innovations such as &#39;Night Tennis&#39; that fuse music, dance and women&#39;s tennis; eye-catching publicity stunts that have made news around the world; and compelling social media content.  As the Tour and Sony Ericsson look to the future, Sony Ericsson&#39;s ability to leverage its technology expertise and leading edge mobile phones to create unprecedented engagement and access fans of women&#39;s tennis will take center stage.</p><p>About Sony Ericsson WTA Tour<br />The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour is the world&#39;s leading professional sport for women with more than 2,225 players representing 91 nations competing for more than $86 million in prize money at the Tour&#39;s 53 events and four Grand Slams in 33 countries. More than 4.9 million people attended women&#39;s tennis events in 2009 with millions more watching on television networks around the world. The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour season concludes with the Sony Ericsson Championships &#8211; Doha 2010 in Doha, Qatar, from October 26-31, and the Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions in Bali, Indonesia, from November 4-7. Further information on the Tour can be found on the Internet at <a href="http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com" target="_blank">www.sonyericssonwtatour.com</a>.</p><p>About Sony Ericsson<br />Sony Ericsson is a 50/50 joint venture by Sony and Ericsson established in October 2001, with global corporate functions located in London and operations in all major markets.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>America&#39;s Star Winter Athletes Grace Special-Edition Wheaties Packages</p><p>Three outstanding gold-medal athletes fresh off the competitive slopes of the Vancouver games mark yet another victorious American milestone by earning elite Breakfast of Champions&#174; status. Super snowboarder Shaun White, Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, and snowboard cross veteran Seth Wescott each officially unveiled today their original Wheaties box, which represents several firsts for their respective winter sporting events. White and Wescott are the first snowboard and snowboard cross athletes to earn a spot on the coveted orange breakfast cereal cover. Vonn is the first female Alpine skier to win gold and appear on a Wheaties box.</p><p>White &#8211; Takes Home Halfpipe Glory&#8230;Again<br />Internationally recognized snowboarding sensation Shaun White earned top podium honors in Vancouver in the halfpipe competition, adding to his first gold-medal win in Turin, Italy in 2006. White&#39;s Vancouver gold made history as he became the first two-time halfpipe gold medalist in winter games competition. White demonstrated near superhuman tricks, including his signature Double McTwist 1260, landing them with artistic perfection and soaring past the competition at Vancouver&#39;s Cypress Mountain. </p><p>&#39;It&#39;s great being on a Wheaties box,&#39; said White. &#39;I remember being a kid and looking up to the guys whose faces were on these boxes and thinking how cool it was. I&#39;m just stoked that Wheaties wanted me on the box and I can represent my sport in such a great way.&#39;</p><p>Vonn &#8211; Conquering the Slopes<br />In her spectacular, determined run down Vancouver&#39;s Whistler Mountains, Lindsey Vonn hails as the first American woman to win an Alpine downhill race in the winter games. She also secured a hard-fought bronze medal in the super-G competition. Despite numerous obstacles, the 25-year-old Vonn triumphed by securing two medals to add to her numerous world-class champion wins.</p><p>&#39;I&#39;m thrilled to represent both America and the sport I love on my Wheaties box,&#39; said Vonn. &#39;Growing up in Minnesota, it&#39;s an honor to share a local connection with the Breakfast of Champions. I cherish this achievement and hope to serve as a positive role model for future Alpine skiers who someday may earn rights to Wheaties box fame.&#39;</p><p>Vonn is the first American woman to win back-to-back overall World Cup championships in 2008 and 2009, and she leads this season&#39;s current standings.</p><p>Wescott &#8211; Seasoned Competitor Delivers Another Golden Moment<br />Seth Wescott is the first and only athlete to win gold in snowboard cross (SBX) at the most prestigious international competition of all. First, in Turin, Italy four years ago, Wescott won the inaugural men&#39;s snowboard cross winter games competition. Again, in Vancouver last month, he proved to a global audience that he was worthy of a second gold-medal win when he came from behind and secured top honors in a sport that he has helped bring to mainstream audiences. Wescott holds numerous victories in a variety of snowboard cross events and he is a frequent podium finisher.</p><p>&#39;Having your very own Wheaties box is something many athletes strive for; so today it is an incredible feeling to see my box and know it represents determination, hard work and focus in a sport that&#39;s relatively new to the winter games,&#39; said Wescott. &#39;To earn two consecutive gold medals means so much, and the culmination of now having a Wheaties box is the icing on the cake.&#39;</p><p>&#39;Shaun, Lindsey and Seth carry the Wheaties torch with a competitive spirit and sensational athleticism that demands nationwide recognition,&#39; said Dan Stangler, Wheaties marketing. &#39;Few athletes leave the kind of lasting impression on fans as our Wheaties champs do following their respective winter sport competitions. They are superb role models and embody the talent, heart and strength that make up today&#39;s Breakfast of Champions roster. We congratulate them on all of their outstanding achievements &#8211; and we warmly welcome them to the Wheaties family of elite athletes.&#39;</p><p>The newest Wheaties packages will be available nationally beginning next month as the Breakfast of Champions continues the ongoing tradition of honoring great American athletes dating back to Johnny Weismuller and Babe Didrikson in the 1930s. Over the course of numerous winter games competitions, many great American athletes have graced the Wheaties box, including Sarah Hughes, Kristi Yamaguchi, the 1980 U.S. men&#39;s hockey team, the 1998 U.S. women&#39;s hockey team, and most recently in 2006 Apolo Anton Ohno and Joey Cheek. Other champion skiers, all of whom earned back-of-the-box Wheaties accolades, include: Gretchen Fraser (1951) for her gold medal in slalom skiing and a silver medal in Alpine skiing; Cindy Nelson was featured (1975) as a tribute to her bronze medal in the downhill race; and Phil and Steve Mahre secured silver and gold medals respectively in skiing competitions (1987).</p><p>Born out of a fortunate mistake in 1924, original Wheaties was created when a health clinician accidentally spilled a wheat bran mixture onto a hot stove.  The result was tasty, crispy wheat flakes that became known as Washburn&#39;s Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes.  A year later, the cumbersome name was shortened to Wheaties.  Baseball legend Lou Gehrig was the first athlete featured on a Wheaties Box, when he appeared on the back cover in 1934.  In 1958, American champion pole-vaulter Bob Richards was the first person to appear on the front of the package, jumpstarting the phenomenon of &#39;being on the Wheaties box,&#39; which has since been graced by some of the greatest athletes of all time, including Bruce Jenner, Walter Payton, Mary Lou Retton, and many others.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Play65 has announced launching its first backgammon channel on March 1st, 2010. &#34;Mars&#34; (Gammon in Hebrew and other Middle Eastern languages) enables TV viewers to take part in one-on-one backgammon games using Play65 award winning backgammon software and the TV remote control. The backgammon TV channel is currently available only in Israel, free to all of the subscribers of &#34;Hot&#34;, one of the two local providers of cable television services in Israel.</p><p>After revolutionizing online backgammon, Play65 now moves on to interactive television. In the meantime only in Israel, the new Play65 backgammon channel gives the TV audience an opportunity to escape from the bad news, loud TV commercials and reruns of Friends to sociable backgammon games with friends and family (providing they are subscribed to the same TV service). &#34;Mars&#34; viewers who will open accounts on Play65 backgammon website, would also enjoy special bonuses of between 50% and 65% of their first deposit. </p><p>Backgammon was never a huge spectators&#39; sport and the few experiments in broadcasting backgammon matches on the small screen have hardly drew near the rating of the least viewed televised poker tournament, for example. However, the phenomenal success of online backgammon has proved the potential of the most ancient board game as a communication tool. Usage data from the first week of &#34;Mars&#34; in the backgammon worshiping nation of Israel show that the game has yet to reach its full potential. <br /></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID113713 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=GAM">Computer Gaming</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=CNO">Gambling / Casinos</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPT">Sports</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=TVN">Television</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2010 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Sports/~4/fmbVRFjSWEI" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

The first of its kind, the Snausages Man Sled Race put dogs in the musher&#39;s seat and humans in front of the sled in a race to the finish line.  The race was held at Little Campbell Lake in Anchorage, Alaska and began at 9:00 am ASK (local time). Four teams of four humans and one dog raced across 75 yards, of snow covered ground to be the first to cross the finish line. The winning team was presented with a monetary donation to a local pet-related charity or organization of their choice.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Agreement Consolidates Relationship with Key Tracks Through 2015</p><p>ATLANTA - Thirsty race fans taking in the action at some of the most popular NASCAR&#174; racetracks can continue to enjoy an ice-cold Coca-Cola for years to come. Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (SMI) and Coca-Cola North America (CCNA) are extending their long-term partnership through 2015, ensuring NASCAR fans who visit premier speedways in locations such as Charlotte, Atlanta and Las Vegas can open a Coke and Open Happiness as they cheer on their favorite drivers.</p><p>Under the terms of the new agreement, CCNA brands will continue as the &#34;Official Soft Drink,&#34; &#34;Official Sparkling Beverage,&#34; &#34;Official Water, &#34;Official Sports Drink&#34; and &#34;Official Enhanced Water&#34; for six SMI tracks, which include:</p><p>    * Atlanta Motor Speedway (Hampton, GA)<br />    * New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Loudon, NH)<br />    * Infineon Raceway Speedway (Sonoma, CA)<br />    * Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Las Vegas, NV)<br />    * Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, NC)<br />    * Texas Motor Speedway (Ft. Worth, TX)</p><p>The agreement also features title sponsorship of the Coca-Cola 600 -- the longest continuous sponsorship of any race in NASCAR -- at Charlotte Motor Speedway through 2015.</p><p>&#34;Coca-Cola and Speedway Motorsports share the same passion to refresh and enhance the racing experience for fans,&#34; said Beatriz Perez, Senior Vice President, Integrated Marketing, Coca-Cola North America. &#34;We&#39;ve built a deep connection between Coca-Cola, NASCAR and its fans. Working with our partners at SMI, we will continue to intensify that bond by creating even more programs that bring fans closer to Coca-Cola and the sport they love.&#34;</p><p>&#34;For more than 25 years, we&#39;ve worked together with Coca-Cola to entertain and refresh fans at the world&#39;s greatest speedways, including one of NASCAR&#39;s cornerstone events, the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day Weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway,&#34; said Marcus Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. &#34;Speedway Motorsports is pleased to extend this partnership between Coca-Cola and six of our speedways where we proudly serve Coca-Cola products along with the greatest racing entertainment in the world.&#34;</p><p>The SMI partnership is a key part of Coca-Cola&#39;s overall role in racing. The Coca-Cola NASCAR relationship, the association with a majority of tracks, the Coca-Cola 600, the Coke Zero 400 and the drivers of the Coca-Cola Racing Family create an ideal relationship between Coca-Cola, the sport and fans. It offers a multi-faceted experience that connects Coca-Cola with NASCAR fans at every level -- locally, nationally, at the track, in store, at home and elsewhere.</p><p>Through this partnership extension, Coca-Cola and SMI will continue to create programs that engage NASCAR fans at SMI tracks and in the local markets and regions where the tracks are located. NASCAR-themed advertising, packaging, promotions, at-track activations and customer-specific programs will all be part of the mix designed to create excitement among racing fans.</p><p>Coca-Cola and NASCAR<br />Coca-Cola is the official sparkling beverage of NASCAR and has been involved with stock car racing for more than 40 years. A signature part of the brand&#39;s NASCAR association is the Coca-Cola Racing Family, a group of top drivers that includes Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Bobby Labonte, Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, David Ragan, Elliott Sadler, Tony Stewart, and alumni drivers Kyle Petty, Michael Waltrip, Dale Jarrett and Ned Jarrett. Coca-Cola Racing Family members make appearances and are featured in advertising, promotions and packaging.</p><p>In addition, the Coca-Cola 600, held annually at SMI track Charlotte Motor Speedway, celebrated its 25th running in 2009. July Fourth weekend in 2010 will mark the third running of the Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway.</p><p>About Speedway Motorsports, Inc.<br />Speedway Motorsports, Inc. is a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paris/Vancouver, Atos Origin, the Worldwide Information Technology (IT) Partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has successfully delivered a flawless IT performance for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Atos Origin fulfilled its mandate to design, integrate, manage and secure 16 different IT systems needed to manage the Games and relay competition results to a world-wide audience of more than three billion people.</p><p>Thousands of athletes arrived in Vancouver ready to show the world their talent and perseverance. Atos Origin did the same&#8212;behind the scenes with most of their victories unnoticed by most of the watching world. The Atos Origin IT team has:</p><p>    * Designed the IT infrastructure to transmit results to a worldwide audience of 3,5 billion in under 0.3 seconds<br />    * Securely delivered more than 7 million messages of competition data to international media and worldwide news agencies, which is 3 times the Torino number<br />    * Delivered event information to 300 broadcasters and over 100 websites in more than 200 countries worldwide<br />    * Provided coverage and result information for 24,000 hours of coverage&#8212;approximately 47 per cent more than the 2006 Winter Games in Torino<br />    * Supplied a continuous stream of information to the exploding number of social and online media resources around the world through the Internet Data Feed and the Olympic Data Feed<br />    * Collected and filtered almost 9 million events each day to detect any potential IT security risk for the Olympic Games IT systems. A hundred were identified as issues and investigated. All were resolved, so there was no impact at all on the Olympic Games.</p><p>Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee said: &#39;In today&#39;s world people expect information on events and results instantly. Atos Origin, our long-term partner, is the brains behind the information technology operations for the Olympic Games. Once again, they have delivered these systems flawlessly, ensuring information is relayed to millions more people than ever before and in new ways&#39;.</p><p>Thierry Breton, CEO of Atos Origin said: &#39;We are proud of the 3,000 members of the technology team, who have worked together in the true spirit of the Olympic Games to become one team with one goal of seamlessly run IT systems for the greatest competition on earth&#39;.<br />&#39;Our team is now focusing on the transition to the Paralympic Winter Games and preparations for London 2012 Olympic Games. We are excited and proud to continue our partnership and look forward to flawlessly delivering the IT infrastructure for future Games.&#39;</p><p>Increasing access to remote applications &#8211; contributing to a greener Games<br />Building on experiences from Beijing, the Atos Origin team once again designed and implemented a Remote Commentator Information System, enabling media from around the world to access results and athlete information from the studios in their home countries in a fraction of a second remotely. Atos Origin also implemented a Remote INFO2010 allowing accredited media to access the same information available on the INFO2010 Intranet system from locations around the world in real time. In Vancouver, Remote INFO users have increased with 400% compared to Beijing.</p><p>To further Atos Origin&#39;s commitment to sustainability and VANOC&#39;s sustainability mandate, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games were the first to deploy an online accreditation system&#8212;significantly reducing the amount of paper used in the accreditation processing.<br />The Atos Origin team delivered the first-ever online volunteer portal which processed more than 100,000 applications from over 150 countries around the world. The online volunteer portal reduced costs, energy and paper use for the 2010 Winter Games.</p><p><br />With less than 10 days to the Paralympic Games, where more than 1350 athletes will compete, the Atos Origin lead team is now focused on ensuring all the IT systems and solutions are ready for the Opening Ceremony on 12th March. As Worldwide IT Partner to the International Paralympic Committee, Atos Origin is delivering the IT infrastructure and systems, just as it has done for the Olympic Games, to ensure that the Paralympic Games run smoothly and the results are delivered worldwide.</p><p>Atos Origin holds the largest sports-related IT contract in the world.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lotus Racing and CNN International have today announced a partnership deal that sees the newest Formula One&#8482; team entering into a long-term agreement with the world&#39;s leading news network. CNN&#39;s world-famous logo will feature on the T127 race cars, the drivers&#39; overalls and on all team clothing.<br /> <br />The deal will be managed by CNN&#39;s commercial &#39;Partner Solutions Group&#39;, which is led by Rani R. Raad, senior vice president of CNN International Advertising Sales.<br /> <br />&#39;The combination of two such iconic and aspirational global brands fits perfectly with CNN&#39;s worldwide reach and brand positioning,&#39; said Raad. &#39;This unique partnership with Lotus Racing takes CNN into a new era of marketing and promotions and puts us in front of a worldwide audience of millions.&#39; <br /> <br />A delighted Lotus Racing Team Principal Tony Fernandes commented: &#39;We are very proud to welcome CNN into the Lotus Racing family. It is a sign of the positive impact we have already made in the global business market that such a prestigious brand, familiar to millions around the world as the definitive source of news and current affairs, has made the decision to partner with us. The whole team and I are looking forward to working with CNN in the months and years to come on some very exciting campaigns.&#39;<br /> <br />About Lotus Racing<br /> <br />Lotus Racing joins the 2010 Formula One&#8482; World Championship as one of the new teams granted an entry in 2009. The team has been through an accelerated growth curve from being granted its entry on September 12th 2009 to launching its T127 race car just five months later on February 12th 2010, and beginning testing in mid February in Jerez, Spain. With Tony Fernandes as its inspirational Team Principal, the team has a visionary leader, working closely with his Deputy Team Principals SM Nasarudin and Kamarudin Meranun to guide Chief Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne, drivers Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen and the ever growing team on the path to long-term success.<br /> <br />The Formula One&#8482; World Championship is a truly global phenomenon, just like CNN.  The 19 race schedule takes the teams to all corners of the world and Lotus Racing, with a classic British name, owned by a Malaysian businessman, with drivers from Italy and Finland epitomises the international pedigree of the championship. <br /> <br />The season starts in Bahrain, March 14, and continues on March 28, Australia; April 4, Malaysia; April 18, China; May 9, Spain; May 16, Monaco; May 30, Turkey; June 13, Canada; June 27, Europe (Valencia); July 11 Great Britain; July 25, Germany; August 1, Hungary; August 29, Belgium; September 12, Italy; September 26, Singapore; October 10, Japan; October 24, Korea; November 7, Brazil; November 14, Abu Dhabi.<br /> <br />CNN Worldwide, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a Time Warner Company, is the most trusted source for news and information. Its reach extends to nine cable and satellite television networks; one private place-based network; two radio networks; wireless devices around the world; CNN Digital Network, the No. 1 network of news Web sites in the United States; CNN Newsource, the world&#39;s most extensively-syndicated news service; and strategic international partnerships within both television and the digital media.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID113493 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=AUT">Automotive</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=PUB">Publishing / Information Services</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPT">Sports</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2010 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Sports/~4/2kcepqV7uPs" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding cheap health insurance quotes for customers is very easy for well known brokers like HIBO.  Many consumers are dealing with the problem of high health insurance costs like never before.  Premiums on individual and family policies have increased dramatically over the past several years to the extent that many people remain uninsured.  Add to this the restraint required to keep normal household expenses at bay in this economy and the prospect of affordable health insurance appears increasingly daunting.  Conventional wisdom holds true in that health insurance is a necessity, and maintaining a policy for individuals or familys should take priority over all other expenses.  </p><p>The reason that this is so important is the skyrocketing costs of medical treatment.  Procedures and medical care that would appear to be routine can lead a family&#39;s finances swiftly down a path towards bankruptcy. <a href="http://www.HealthInsuranceBrokerOnline.com" target="_blank">www.HealthInsuranceBrokerOnline.com</a></p><p>Once the decision has been made to make health insurance a priority, the next step is to obtain a health insurance quote from a company that will provide the greatest amount of benefits at the lowest possible price.  Comparison-shopping is the next logical next step, and this will involve the tedious work of contacting several different insurance companies.  Once the prospective carriers have been identified, the next step is to complete an application process with each of them.  After all of the applications have been submitted, be prepared to wait, because the evaluation process may take weeks just to get a quote.  Finally, once all of the quotes are received, many will have to learn all about the coverage in order to make a proper comparison between quotes.  Most often, a lower price will mean fewer benefits so a dollar-value comparison will have to be made as well.  This means that in order to obtain the best results in a search, most will have to become somewhat of a health insurance expert, and learn not only what is being offered by the companies that are quoting  health insurance policies but individuals should be aware of options that may not be included in the quotes.</p><p>In the alternative, consumers can contact a health insurance broker, many of which are available online.  A professional health insurance consultant will charge a fee in some cases, but this is money well spent when an individual considers the savings, and most importantly, the lack of effort required in part to screen several companies, evaluate each health insurance product and compare each health insurance quote.  The process will typically involve the completion of one application that the broker will file with several insurance carriers for the best possible quote.  Conducting a search for health insurance in this manner is one of the fastest and most hassle free methods available.  For those brokers that transact business online, the process is even faster and simpler.  As quotes are received by the broker, they can be emailed directly to the customer.  This is the most convenient way to shop for health insurance.</p><p>Shopping online will help an insurance consumer navigate the health insurance options available.  The process can be completed in just a few mouse clicks, and the application process is usually free, resulting in an easy inexpensive way to shop for the most affordable health insurance available.</p><p></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID113396 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FIN">Banking / Financial Services</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=INS">Insurance</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=SPT">Sports</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2010 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Sports/~4/V9dTqZ58CtE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>
