Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., through its successful OHV Access Initiative, continues to support landmark programs directed by the country's most prominent outdoor recreation organizations which are leading national efforts to promote safe, responsible riding and sustainable, open riding areas nationwide.

A total of more than $100,000 in funds are being contributed through separate Yamaha OHV GRANTs to Tread Lightly!, the Blue Ribbon Coalition, the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA) and the National OHV Conservation Council (NOHVCC).

"The OHV Access Initiative has made fantastic strides from the grassroots perspective creating and maintaining responsible riding opportunities for local OHV communities," said Mike Martinez, Yamaha's general manager of ATV and Side-by-Side Operations. "Yamaha's ability to also support these national projects, combined with our on-the-ground work through dealers and regional staff, continue to elevate the effectiveness of the OHV Access Initiative. The programs we're supporting through the national organizations address issues that impact OHV enthusiasts from coast to coast."

The Yamaha OHV Access Initiative's National Partners For 2009

Tread Lightly! - Funding the development of a template for recreational maps for the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management properties and the Respected Access Campaign.

"We are grateful to Yamaha for creating the OHV Access Initiative as a resource to help protect public lands for safe and responsible motorized recreational use," said Lori McCullough, executive director of the nonprofit Tread Lightly!. "Educating OHV enthusiasts on best practices for land stewardship is essential to maintaining and, hopefully, expanding sustainable riding opportunities for everyone to enjoy."

"The Dr. Oz Show," the all-new daily syndicated show hosted by cardiac surgeon and health expert Dr. Mehmet Oz, is joining forces with the National Football League (NFL) as 20 moms of NFL players face off to get fit in "Dr. Oz's Ultimate Health Challenge." On Friday, September 25, 2009, two teams comprised of ten AFC and ten NFC moms, including the mothers of NFL players Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warner, Nick Mangold and more, will take on each other to tackle their health issues as part of a national viewer challenge. The teams will be coached by former Tennessee Titans running back and Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George and his wife Taj, of "Survivor" fame, recently announced as regular contributors to "The Dr. Oz Show."

In six episodes airing this season, the moms will battle head-to-head to reduce major risk factors contributing to heart disease including their blood pressure, cholesterol, waist size and weight. "Dr. Oz's Ultimate Health Challenge" kicks off in the first month of the NFL season and will culminate on February 5, 2010, the Friday before Super Bowl XLIV.

"Taj and I are thrilled to be participating on 'The Dr. Oz Show.' We believe in Dr. Oz's mission to help people live healthier, better lives," said Eddie George. "We hope through our involvement with the NFL Mother's program, we can inspire others to challenge themselves and attain life-altering goals."

While their sons tackle each other on the field throughout the football season, their mothers will battle off the field in a one-of-a-kind competition. The NFL moms participating in "Dr. Oz's Ultimate Health Challenge" include:

Oakley, Inc. today announced the release of a new premium snow goggle called SPLICE(R), a reinvention of goggle architecture and a showcase for the company's finest technologies in optical performance and protection.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080828/LATH022LOGO)

"We set out to push the evolution of goggle design beyond the next level," said Oakley CEO Colin Baden. "Our new SPLICE goggle goes even farther. Sports pros have relied on Oakley innovations for decades, and they depend on the synergy of form and function that defines our inventions. With SPLICE, all the relentless R&D work with world-class athletes went past the idea of answering wish lists and found uncharted territory. To put it simply, we pulled the trigger on innovation and hit a target beyond the sights of the industry," Baden concluded.

Oakley's new SPLICE performance snow goggle was developed with structural engineering that maximizes comfort. The O Matter(R) frame remains flexible even in extreme cold, and a new skeletal support system spans the nasal area to reduce pressure on the nose while increasing airflow. Combined with moisture wicking triple-layer fleece foam and strap outriggers that evenly balance pressure, the new support system makes this one of the most comfortable goggles ever created for winter sports.

SPLICE has an interchangeable lens design that features semi-flush lens mounting, a means of optimizing downward visibility. Side-to-side vision is also maximized. Oakley designers matched the company's optical innovations in lens contouring with structural refinements including special engineering of the strap outriggers, eliminating any obstruction to peripheral view. With interchangeable lens designs, keyhole lens mounting is a standard for the goggle industry, but Oakley devised a way to eliminate the keyhole structures and make the process of lens changing fast and efficient. All SPLICE lenses are dual vented and feature the company's F3 anti-fog technology. Pure Plutonite(R) lens material filters out 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC while offering unrivaled impact protection.

Additional features include a new quick-change system for strap mounting, plus new customizable elements for frame styling. The quick-change system keeps the goggle strap securely in place during use yet allows for easy removal. The new feature for modifying frame aesthetics will allow wearers to customize their goggle frames when SPLICE becomes part of the Oakley Custom Program in October 2009.

Interchangeable lenses for SPLICE come in performance colors with premium options. Oakley HDPolarized lenses filter out 99% of glare without the haze and optical distortion common with ordinary polarized lenses. Oakley Iridium(R) lens coatings further reduce glare while balancing light transmission to optimize vision. Current lens options for SPLICE include High Intensity Amber Polarized, VR28(R) Polarized and Grey Polarized, as well as Fire Iridium, Black Iridium, Pink Iridium, Blue Iridium, G30(TM), High Intensity Yellow, High Intensity Persimmon, and VR50(TM) Emerald. All SPLICE lenses feature the unbeatable clarity and protection of Oakley's renowned High Definition Optics(R) (HDO(R)).

The new SPLICE goggle joins an expanding array of Oakley performance goggle designs, including the popular Signature Series that features special editions customized to honor the living legends of winter sports. Visit Oakley.com for more information on the company's sport performance and lifestyle innovations.

As the Miami Valley kicks off football season, parents, students and coaches should be aware of new guidelines for dealing with concussions experienced by student athletes -- and some of the recommendations are causing a stir.

Starting in the 2009-2010 school year, Dr. Michael Barrow, medical director of The Sports Medicine Center at Good Samaritan Hospital, will follow guidelines recently put forth by the International Conference on Concussion in Sport. These guidelines emphasize resting the brain and a graduated return to sports in an effort to reduce the risk of further injury or permanent neurologic deficits. In addition, the guidelines emphasize that athletes must demonstrate recovery from their brain injury prior to returning to sports and cannot return to the event in which they sustained their concussion.

Even though some physicians and coaches are arguing that tighter restrictions on head trauma may provide an incentive for athletes, and even parents, to hide or minimize injuries, Dr. Barrow believes local athletes and parents will be supportive.

"Parents, coaches, certified athletic trainers, physicians - and, of course, injured athletes themselves - need to work together to ensure a concussion is recognized and treated according to the latest scientific guidelines, which include a appropriate rest for the brain and a slow return to the field of play," Dr. Barrow said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for young people ages 15-24, sports are second only to motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of brain injury. While concussion symptoms may seem minor, concussion injuries are cumulative and can result in permanent loss of brain function. Studies have shown 40 percent of athletes with a concussion return to play prematurely. This is especially true for middle and high school athletes, who have a greater risk for depression, early dementia and learning problems.

In the past, certified athletic trainers and physicians used a variety of grading systems to determine how serious a concussion was and to develop a management plan. Recently, however, experts gathered at the third annual International Conference on Concussion in Sport recommended that all concussions be managed individually with a physician examination including consideration of a computer-based assessment (or other neuropsychologic test) that measures brain function, such as memory and reaction time.

"Ultimately, these guidelines protect the long-term health of student athletes, and ensures that a decision to rush a student back into play doesn't impact their health for the rest of their lives," said Dr. Barrow, who serves as team physician for Northmont High School and assistant team physician for the University of Dayton.

Concussion information from The Sports Medicine Center at Good Samaritan:

What is a concussion?

A concussion is a brain trauma resulting from a direct blow to the head or from whiplash to the head or neck. Concussions usually cause a temporary alteration in mental status but not necessarily a loss of consciousness. This disturbance in brain function occurs at the cellular/chemical level and is generally not a structural problem that can be seen on an MRI or CT scan.

What are some of the symptoms of a concussion?

Athletes who demonstrate any of following may have a concussion:

• Headache
• Feeling "in a fog"
• Emotional ups and downs
• Amnesia
• Irritability
• Slowed reaction times
• Drowsiness

STACK Media, the leading producer and distributor of sports performance, instruction and lifestyle content for active young males, announced today an exclusive relationship with perennial NBA All-Star and 2009 MVP LeBron James.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' star forward is featured on the cover of STACK Magazine's back-to-school issue with his four high school teammates, all of whom seek to inspire millions of young athletes with their individual success stories. The issue is scheduled to arrive in more than 9,500 high schools -- nearly 50% of our nation's secondary schools -- this week.

STACK's exclusive feature article on LeBron focuses on his tight-knit group of friends--who bonded as basketball teammates at St. Vincent St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. Known as the "Fab Five," members of the group recollect their friendship growing up together and stress the importance of community support for young athletes. They even take friendly jabs at each other. In addition to the extensive feature story, the issue also contains photos of LeBron and his teammates, plus "Art of the Dish" -- advice and instructions from LeBron, with graphic "how-to" pictures, on the four basketball passes he uses to make everyone around him better on the court.

"LeBron is more than just an athlete; he is living proof that young people can achieve their dreams in any facet of life," said Nick Palazzo, Co-founder and Co-CEO of STACK Media. "When we launched the company in 2005, LeBron was our first cover athlete. Since then, we've grown our business tremendously and LeBron has continued to dramatically improve his game, becoming a worldwide superstar. Combined with our shared Ohio roots, this created a perfect opportunity to work together again."

STACK Magazine is distributed six times per year at no cost to high school athletes. It is the only national publication requested and distributed by high school athletic directors, with a circulation of more than 800,000 and a readership of more than five million athletes. Every issue of STACK contains dozens of pages of nutrition and training tips from elite professional and collegiate athletes and their trainers. In addition to LeBron James, the back-to-school issue also features articles on three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holding sprinter Usain Bolt and New York Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.

STACK's magazine content is complemented by thousands of exclusive articles and videos on STACK.com. To view video clips of LeBron and the "Fab Five," visit http://stacktv.stack.com/.

STACK's online audience exceeds 4 million unique visitors per month. The company's focus on athletic performance enhancement and its demonstrated ability to engage the elusive demographic of 12-to-24-year-old males have attracted numerous blue-chip advertisers, including Nike, Gatorade, Procter & Gamble, Right Guard, PlayStation, and MGM, among others.

Collegiate Images LLC, an XOS Digital company, today announced that it has partnered with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses to represent the video and photography rights of its historic Rose Bowl Game and nationally known Rose Parade(R).

"The Pasadena Tournament of Roses has an impressive history of exciting moments from both its Bowl Game and Rose Parade," said John Christie, EVP of content partnerships, XOS Digital. "And now, we're using our ingest services to preserve these valuable memories from more than 120 years ago so fans can relive them over and over for years to come."

The partnership enables the digitization, preservation and licensing of Rose Bowl Game content including network broadcasts, game highlights, historic luncheons and press conferences. In addition, it includes 95 years of historic match-ups featuring the top collegiate teams.

Photos of the original chariot races which took place years prior to the Rose Bowl Game exist in the Tournament's archives and now are in digital format available for distribution to the marketplace, too.

The Rose Parade content features the pageantry and tradition of extravagant floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands. It also features famous entertainers from the past 120 years as the event's grand marshals, which include San Francisco Mayor James "Sunny Jim" Rolph (first grand marshal from outside Pasadena), Mary Pickford (first Hollywood celebrity and first woman grand marshal), astronauts Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean (heroes of the Apollo 12 moon landing), Roy E. Disney (Walt Disney's nephew), Tom Brokaw (television journalist), actor Bill Cosby, Art Linkletter (radio and television personality), Fred "Mister" Rogers (children's television show host), and John Williams (legendary composer/conductor).

"It's critical that we protect and preserve our valuable one-of-a-kind content assets which span more than a century of Tournament of Roses events," said Mitch Dorger, Chief Executive Officer of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. "By preserving this content digitally, we have eliminated the risk of our irreplaceable content deteriorating over time in their hardcopy formats. We are also very pleased to more strategically utilize this content by positioning our organization to better license this unique content to a growing fan base."

Known as The Granddaddy of Them All(R), the Rose Bowl Game kicked off a myriad of college football legacies in 1902. Since then, the game has showcased 18 Heisman Trophy winners, produced 28 national champions, featured 190 consensus All-Americans and honored 95 college football legends by inducting them into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. Continuing the tradition, on Jan. 1, 2010, at 2:10 p.m. (PST), the 96th Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi will feature a match-up between two of the top teams in the nation. The 121st Rose Parade will take place before the Rose Bowl Game at 8 a.m. (PST). For more information, visit www.tournamentofroses.com.

Specific contract terms are not for public disclosure. Official contract terms held between Pasadena Tournament of Roses and Collegiate Images LLC (since acquired by XOS Technologies, Inc. as part of its XOS Digital division).

The CBS Television Network will return to the mixed martial arts (MMA) cage with STRIKEFORCE: FEDOR VS. ROGERS, to be broadcast Saturday, Nov. 7 (9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT). SHOWTIME Sports will produce the four-fight event with host Gus Johnson calling the action and MMA legend Frank Shamrock and Mauro Ranallo serving as color analysts.

In 2008, CBS aired the first live MMA fights on network television, with three successful events earning time period-winning ratings in all key young adult and young men demographics. CBS's most recent broadcast in October 2008 ranked as the night's highest-rated program on both broadcast and cable in adults 18-34 and men 18-34, topping all other sports programming in those demographics, including the Major League Baseball playoffs and college football.

On Nov. 7, the world's Number One-ranked MMA heavyweight fighter, Fedor Emelianenko of Russia, will face undefeated American Brett Rogers of Minnesota in the marquee match up. The fight marks the first bout for the highly coveted Emelianenko since his promotional company M-1 Global signed an agreement with STRIKEFORCE to co-promote major events.

"There's no question this is a sport that is fast becoming a force in popularity and as a business," said Kelly Kahl, Senior Executive Vice President, Prime Time, CBS Television. "We're excited to be the platform that will enable millions more to see the athlete regarded as the very best in his sport. The Number One heavyweight on the most-watched network has a very nice ring to it."

Simply referred to as "Fedor" by fans around the world, the 6-foot, 235-pound Russian is one of the most dominant fighters in the sport. He is a master of the Russian military combat system Sambo and boasts a record of 30 wins, one loss, no draws with 16 wins by submission, seven knockouts and seven decisions. The 28-year-old Rogers (10-0) is a massive physical specimen standing 6-feet, 5-inches tall and weighing 265 pounds. He possesses two of the heaviest hands in the sport of MMA, an attribute that has helped him knock out all 10 of his professional opponents.

"It is an honor to have the opportunity to bring the STRIKEFORCE brand to CBS," said Scott Coker, Founder and CEO of STRIKEFORCE. "We are looking forward to bringing MMA back to the network and to having the world's No. 1 heavyweight--Fedor--compete for the first time on live network television against one of America's most promising young, undefeated stars--Brett Rogers."

STRIKEFORCE has experienced significant growth since it launched its first MMA promotion on March 10, 2006. After signing a landmark deal to air live events on SHOWTIME(R) earlier this year, STRIKEFORCE earned the premium network its highest MMA rating ever on August 15 with Carano vs. Cyborg. Shortly before the live telecast, the main event principals--Gina Carano and Cris "Cyborg" Santos--were the most searched terms on Yahoo! and Google, while the fight was the most discussed subject on Twitter.

Omnilert(R), LLC, maker of RainedOut, the first text message service for sports leagues and clubs, today announced that over 1000 sports leagues across the country are now using RainedOut to broadcast real-time messages to players, coaches, parents, referees, spectators and others.

Ben Hull, Recreation Supervisor of Athletics at Isle of Palms Recreation Department in South Carolina, said, "RainedOut.com has made it much easier to communicate to others about cancellations. It helps make my job easier."

RainedOut, as the name implies, was originally created in 2004 to notify parents of games cancelled due to bad weather. Use of the service quickly spread to include alerts for field changes, schedule changes, tournament updates, call for volunteers, parking directions, registration reminders, and more.

RainedOut is accessible from smartphones, so alerts can be initiated on the go or from the field the moment a decision is made. Alerts can be sent to an entire league, sport or division, or to smaller groups such as a single team or age group.

Loudoun Soccer in Leesburg, Va. was the first league to use the service back in 2004. Margie Brien, the Office Manager at Loudoun Soccer, said, "RainedOut.com has allowed Loudoun Soccer to easily communicate with its over 7,000 players and their parents about the status of fields. They provide notices in a timely manner to allow coaches, players and parents to make practice and game decisions."

Eric J. Westendorf, Public Relations Director at Lernerville Speedway in Pa., said, "On behalf of Lernerville Speedway and the entire World Racing Group organization, we love the RainedOut website and service. It saves our office literally hundreds, if not thousands of phone calls on questionable race nights! The fans have also expressed their appreciation of the service en masse. It has been a very successful program for us!"

RainedOut is a Web-based service, so there is no traditional software to install, no hardware to buy and no additional phone lines needed. Registration is fast and easy. The service is free. Standard text messaging fees apply.

About RainedOut

Established in 2004 and used by more than 1000 organizations, RainedOut is the first text message service for sports leagues and clubs.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki joined The Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to launch a new initiative to help returning OEF/OIF Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injuries and their families.

"The coordination of the Department of Veterans Affairs' programs with those of other departments and agencies, philanthropic and volunteer organizations, and with world class foundations and volunteer groups, is critically important," Secretary Shinseki said. "When those efforts include distinguished institutions such as The Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital, Veterans win."

PTSD is a recognized anxiety disorder that can follow seeing or experiencing an event that involves actual or threatened death or serious injury to which a person responds with intense fear, helplessness or horror, and is not uncommon in war. Feelings of fear, confusion or anger often subside, but if the feelings don't go away or get worse, a Veteran may have PTSD.

"It takes tremendous courage for a Veteran to step forward and ask for help," says Dr. John A. Parrish, director of Home Base, who served as a medical officer in the Marines Corps during the Vietnam War. "In New England alone, thousands of Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who may be in rough shape psychologically avoid treatment because of this stigma."

VA is a world leader in the research, diagnosis and treatment of PTSD, providing specialized PTSD programs at its medical centers and clinics. In 1989, the Department created the National Center for PTSD, which promotes research, trains health care professionals and serves as an information resource for researchers and clinicians around the world.

"The hidden wounds of war are being addressed vigorously and comprehensively by VA," Shinseki said "Our ability to increase mental health capacity to serve combat Veterans continues to be a top priority."

VA Boston Healthcare System will work in coordination with MGH and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital to provide high quality patient-centered care and implement a fully integrated system to enhance a comprehensive communication system between program components. They will work with MGH to establish an outreach clinic on the campus of MGH to assist in the coordination of care of OEF/OIF Veterans seen at the MGH.

The program will work to:

• Provide diagnosis and clinical care for OEF/OIF Veterans with PTSD and TBI;
• Offer outreach and support services to families of affected Veterans;
• Conduct innovative research to deepen the understanding of these problems and develop better treatments for them
• Educate community health care providers about the diagnosis and treatment of these complex disorders.

MillerCoors today issued a "Beer Car Challenge for Charity" to Anheuser-Busch Inbev, in which the #2 Miller Lite Dodge and the #9 Budweiser Dodge would race for their respective charity during the 10-week NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup. Both cars secured their spots in the Chase last weekend at Richmond.

In MillerCoors' proposed challenge, the higher finishing beer car in each race will win $2,500 for its charity, and the higher finisher in the final Chase standings will win $25,000 for the same charity. The #2 Miller Lite Dodge has already announced that, should AB InBev accept the challenge, they will be running for Operation Homefront, an organization that helps military families in need.

"We have a lot of confidence in our Blue Deuce finishing well each week and bringing home the championship," said MillerCoors president and chief commercial officer Tom Long. "And if Budweiser accepts our challenge, we'll have one eye on Kurt and the other monitoring how Kasey is doing. Whoever comes out on top, the winner in this deal is charity, and that is what's most important."

Omnilert(R), LLC, maker of RainedOut, the first text message service for sports leagues and clubs, today announced that over 1000 sports leagues across the country are now using RainedOut to broadcast real-time messages to players, coaches, parents, referees, spectators and others.

Ben Hull, Recreation Supervisor of Athletics at Isle of Palms Recreation Department in South Carolina, said, "RainedOut.com has made it much easier to communicate to others about cancellations. It helps make my job easier."

RainedOut, as the name implies, was originally created in 2004 to notify parents of games cancelled due to bad weather. Use of the service quickly spread to include alerts for field changes, schedule changes, tournament updates, call for volunteers, parking directions, registration reminders, and more.

RainedOut is accessible from smartphones, so alerts can be initiated on the go or from the field the moment a decision is made. Alerts can be sent to an entire league, sport or division, or to smaller groups such as a single team or age group.

Loudoun Soccer in Leesburg, Va. was the first league to use the service back in 2004. Margie Brien, the Office Manager at Loudoun Soccer, said, "RainedOut.com has allowed Loudoun Soccer to easily communicate with its over 7,000 players and their parents about the status of fields. They provide notices in a timely manner to allow coaches, players and parents to make practice and game decisions."

Eric J. Westendorf, Public Relations Director at Lernerville Speedway in Pa., said, "On behalf of Lernerville Speedway and the entire World Racing Group organization, we love the RainedOut website and service. It saves our office literally hundreds, if not thousands of phone calls on questionable race nights! The fans have also expressed their appreciation of the service en masse. It has been a very successful program for us!"

RainedOut is a Web-based service, so there is no traditional software to install, no hardware to buy and no additional phone lines needed. Registration is fast and easy. The service is free. Standard text messaging fees apply.

About RainedOut

Established in 2004 and used by more than 1000 organizations, RainedOut is the first text message service for sports leagues and clubs. This web-based service enables non-technical people to administer and send custom or predefined messages instantly to the entire league for improved communication. It is used to cancel games, give directions, recruit volunteers, and much more. Messages can initiate from a net-connected PC, from a conventional phone call, or from the field using a net-connected cell phone. Through one simple interface, RainedOut instantly and simultaneously broadcasts messages to subscribers' mobile phones (via SMS text message) and e-mail accounts, and to the leagues' own Web pages, RainedOut page, Facebook page, and Twitter account.

Georgia State University's inaugural football Coach Bill Curry and President Mark Becker will discuss the challenges of establishing a brand new program and ways that it is energizing the Atlanta school's campus and alumni at a National Press Club Newsmaker press conference at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23, in the Zenger Room, 13th floor, National Press Building, 529 14th St., N.W., Washington, D.C.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080917/NPCLOGO )

Curry was named head coach at Georgia State in June 2008, two months after the school announced that it was launching the first football program in the school's history. Georgia State will kick off its first season in 2010.

Curry and Becker will discuss how lessons learned on the football field can be a model for the entire university community. Working as a team and valuing others can be taught in other parts of life, but one of the best platforms is football, according to Curry.

"It's supposed to happen in the church. It's supposed to happen in the family, and sometimes it does," says Curry, former head coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky. "It always happens in the huddle. When you step into the huddle, you're stepping into a metaphor for our country. A huddle is a group of people who respect each other and who have learned to give to a cause greater than their own selfish desires. You can't be racist. You can't be liberal and say 'I'm not working with a conservative,' or vice versa. You can't say, 'I don't like that guy'. You learn to work with that guy and emphasize what we have in common rather than our differences."

Curry has won coach of the year honors in both the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference, garnering a reputation for rebuilding programs. In 2007, the American Football Coaches Association bestowed on Curry the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award. He played professional football for 10 years, after a college career at Georgia Tech.

Have you often wondered what goes on in the NASCAR garages during the downtime over the course of a race weekend? Were you ever curious to know what Kurt Busch and his team do between returning home from a race and packing up for the next one?

Well, prepare to have those questions answered. Beginning tonight - in advance of Sunday's Loudon race, the first in the 10-week NASCAR Sprint Series Chase for the Cup playoff - the Miller Lite Blue Deuce will be using Twitter to provide fans with exclusive information about preparing for and running in the Chase. Legal-drinking-age fans can follow "BlueDeuce2Win" on Twitter; or, for more information, visit the Miller Lite "Taste Nation" page on Facebook, PenskeRacing.com or Twitter.com/PenskeRacing.

Members of the team's "inner circle," including Miller Lite pit crew members, will be sending Tweets at various times during the week and from the garages and trackside during race weekends. Content will include race-related Tweets about things such as adjustments made to the car and the mindset and strategy of the race team, as well as non-race Tweets such as insight on appearances and what was on the team's lunch menu.

"Very few race fans get the opportunity to hang out at our Penske headquarters or in the garage and pit area during a race," said Jonathan Gibson, vice president of marketing and communications at Penske Racing. "By sending Tweets throughout the week and during race weekend, we intend to give race fans exclusive access to our team and how we prepare a race car for a day on the track. It'll be the Chase as fans have never experienced it before."

"How cool is it going to be for fans to read that Pat Tryson really likes the way the race is setting up, or that our tire specialist has concerns about the wear and tear he is seeing on a set of tires," said Jackie Woodward, vice president of marketing services at MillerCoors. "It'll be an unprecedented look at the Miller Lite Racing team during the pressure cooker that is the Chase, and we think fans will love it."

National Football League (NFL) wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, Terrell Owens, will support the Alzheimer's Association this fall by having his own team for Memory Walk(R). Owens has created "TO's Champs" to raise funds and awareness for the as many as 5.3 million Americans living with the disease and their 10 million caregivers, according to the Alzheimer's Association 2009 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures.

Every 70 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease. That means more than 12 people will develop Alzheimer's in the time it takes Owens to play one 15-minute quarter of football.

Owens has been personally affected by this disease, as his grandmother Alice is living with Alzheimer's after being diagnosed in 1996, the year Owens entered the NFL. As a result, Owens is dedicated to learning more about the disease and supporting the Alzheimer's Association.

"Alzheimer's has affected my own family, so I understand first-hand the impact of this disease," says Owens. "I am proud to support the Alzheimer's Association as they educate people on the realities of Alzheimer's disease so we can inspire enough support to stop it."

Due to his commitments with the Buffalo Bills, Owens will not be able to attend Memory Walk events. However, he personally encourages fans to join "TO's Champs" and participate in Memory Walk or donate to his team.

• To register for Memory Walk with "TO's Champs," visit: http://ErieCountyWalk.kintera.org/toschamps.

Celebrating the stories, culture and heritage of America's Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community, Purple Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRPL) will honor National Champion Motocross Rider and Floridian, Ashley Fiolek for being a role model to deaf youth nationwide and her accomplishments as a stellar athlete in a male-dominated sport. Community members are encouraged to join in the celebration on September 19, 2009 at the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park, 950 Lake Carillon Drive in Saint Petersburg, FL. The event will feature former Miss Deaf America, Lauren Teruel Ridloff as emcee of the festivities, which include an onstage interview with Ms. Fiolek and 'Q&A' session from 6:45 pm to 9:00 pm, EDT. Purple will also host onsite workshops earlier that day, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, which will include topics on local number registration and a product demo on its P3 optimized Purple Netbook.

The Dream Bigger campaign recognizes trailblazers in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community and aims to celebrate the advances they have made. Whether it has been breaking down barriers or establishing new status quos, these Trailblazers have improved the overall quality-of-life for all members of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community. Fiolek, along with nine other visionaries nationwide in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community, has been chosen as one of this year's finalists. Each finalist was awarded a $1,000 cash prize from Purple Communications to be donated to a non-profit organization of their choice, and in their name as a way of paving the way for the next generation of trailblazers in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community. Ms. Fiolek chose The Hearing Loss Association of Florida, an organization that provides information and educational support, public awareness and both legislative and public policy advocacy, as the recipient of her $1,000 cash prize.

In October 2009, Purple Communications will announce the 2009 Trailblazer of the Year, one of the ten finalists, at the Dream Bigger Gala in Washington, D.C. The selected individual will be chosen by online voting at www.purple.us/dreambigger. The person selected will best represent the essence of the Dream Bigger initiative, and will receive $10,000 to be donated in their name, to their non-profit organization of choice, as well as an all-expenses-paid vacation.

Fiolek's interest in motocross began at the early age of four at a race with her father. Fast forward nine years to age thirteen and she won the first of her many accolades - the Air Nautiques Loretta Lynn Amateur Nationals, deemed the biggest race in amateur motocross. In 2005, Fiolek became the first female to qualify in the boy's class, placing 11th among 42 boys, and shattering the once held stereotype that girls couldn't make it in boy's motocross. Most recently, the 2009 WMX Champion was featured in ESPN The Magazine and was one of four nominees vying for a coveted ESPN ESPY Award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete. Fiolek shares, "I want to give back to the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community as much as I can," Fiolek continues. "Who knows? Maybe I'll inspire someone who I'll end up racing against some day!"

"Ashley is an inspiration to deaf youth everywhere. Inspiring others to try the sports they love regardless of whether they are deaf or heard-of-hearing. Her success continues to show the community that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. It's her tenacious spirit that exemplifies what being a Trailblazer is all about," said Brandon Arthur, Vice President of Marketing Communications for Purple Communications. "The Dream Bigger campaign is all about recognizing community visionaries who have the tenacity to fulfill personal dreams and lead the way for individuals in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community to pursue theirs. Purple has always focused on creating cutting-edge technology services that make communication more convenient for its customers."

ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AVEW) Chairman Gary Nerison today commented on the revenue model for the company's wholly owned MatchFights, LLC subsidiary and the revenue targets that the company plans to achieve with its upcoming pay-per-view events. The inaugural MatchFights event, which includes full contact fights, live music and ring girl contests, is scheduled for September 25, 2009 in Evanston, Wyoming and will be broadcast to a global audience in high definition over the Internet. Fight fans interested in watching the fight live via the Internet can pre-register for $9.95 at www.bkbfightclub.com.

Mr. Nerison highlighted the company's target of 100,000 pay-per-view buys for each event, which are scheduled to occur every 45 days. "Beyond our inaugural event, we are already looking forward to a number of additional venues for upcoming MatchFights events, including Indian casinos, as mentioned in a recent press release, and several international destinations, which are expected to significantly raise our profile in global markets. Full contact fighting has a more established history in certain foreign markets, and we expect to leverage this popularity with events staged in cities around the world."

"We are expecting the pay per view audience for our events to grow as awareness increases and comprehensive marketing programs for MatchFights events are implemented. 100,000 pay-per-view buys at the standard $14.95 will generate $1.5 million in revenues for each event and with 9 events planned per year, the company's annual revenues would be approximately $13.5 million. An advantage of our revenue model is that as viewership increases, our cost remain relatively fixed, allowing revenues to grow without a commensurate increase in cost for delivering the events. Using the Internet as the delivery vehicle for our live content allows us to reach a global market without increasing costs. In fact, our events become profitable with only a few thousand PPV buys.

"ActionView International is committed to supporting MatchFights as it delivers an exciting product with interactive elements that are not available in other boxing, MMA or martial arts events. We believe that our target of 100,000 is very realistic and achievable in the short term. These numbers would result in value being created for our shareholders, which is a core focus of ActionView International as a publicly traded company."

The company encourages shareholders and anyone interested in following the progress of ActionView International and its wholly owned MatchFights, LLC subsidiary to subscribe to the mailing list at www.matchfights.com.

Pretend City Children's Museum today announced its upcoming online auction and fundraiser featuring a one-of-a-kind sports memorabilia item, a T3 Series electric stand-up vehicle (ESV) autographed by NBA Star Kobe Bryant. Donated by Orange County, California-based T3 Motion, Inc., the three-wheeled personal mobility vehicle is one of the most unique sports collectibles ever offered, sporting Los Angeles Lakers colors and signed by Bryant during the museum's opening ceremony. In addition to the T3 Series, fans can also bid on a pair of Kobe's autographed game-worn shoes. The auction will begin October 15 on eBay and run for ten days. The winner will be determined on October 26. All proceeds will benefit Pretend City. Please visit www.pretendcity.org and sign up to be notified when the auction goes live.

"We are thrilled to have Kobe Bryant's participation in this exciting fundraiser," said Bill H. Lyon, chair of Pretend City's board of directors and president and COO of William Lyon Homes. "Pretend City's mission is one of education, and our hope is to put all the money raised toward new exhibits that benefit families and the community at large. I think sports fans and collectors will be very excited to have the chance to own the autographed T3, as it's truly unlike any other memorabilia item available today."

"We are excited to partner with Pretend City and donate a T3 vehicle for such a wonderful cause," said Ki Nam, president and CEO, T3 Motion, Inc. "The public has never had the opportunity until now to purchase a T3 Series, and this will be their one and only chance to own one. We hope fans will show their support and bid on this extraordinary collector's item, autographed by one of the most renowned sports stars in the world. As an Orange County company, we know the addition of a children's museum will be very beneficial to the community and are excited to support Pretend City's environmentally-aware exhibits. The T3 is an all-electric, zero gas emissions vehicle that ties in with the environmental message of Pretend City, and we hope bidders will appreciate that as well."
