      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Exclusive Sets to be Auctioned on eBay Starting November 24</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>White Plains</strong><strong>, NY</strong><strong> (November 24, 2009)</strong> - [yellow tail] wine today revealed the designs for an exclusive glassware set created by world-renowned architect and designer Michael Graves. The designs are a celebration of the brand's wine[tails]<sup>TM</sup> concept -- fun and flavorful drinks made with [yellow tail] wines.</p>
<p>Graves whose amazing architectural projects include the restoration of the Washington Monument, has become a household name with his home product line at Target Stores. [yellow tail] selected Graves based on his continued commitment to creating artistic, yet accessible products, which echoes their own brand vision - a fun, playful versatility, while continuing to provide an unpretentious product for everyone.</p>
<p>"Being that wine[tails] are a union of the wine and cocktail worlds, I felt the final design was a perfect hybrid for consumers looking for a middle ground between a cocktail glass and a wine glass," Graves said. "As with all of my product designs, we wanted to make sure the consumer had an inventive, yet functional piece of glassware."</p>
<p>Each limited-edition set is comprised of 4 handcrafted glasses -- a wine, champagne, margarita, and martini glass. Each glass is designed to provide the illusion of an inverted bottle within the glass shape.  The four collectible sets of the [yellow tail] wine[tail] glasses will be auctioned off on eBay in two cycles - one beginning on Tuesday, November 24 through Thursday, December 3, 2009 and the second on Friday, December 4 through Sunday, December 13, 2009. All proceeds from the online auctions will be donated to the American Association of Museums, which develops standards of excellence for museums across the United States.</p>
<p>"When [yellow tail] was introduced a few years ago, it turned the wine industry on its head with its fun and approachable attitude, and a label that was different from conventional wine packaging.  Everything we do is inspired by an unpretentious attitude and a desire to push boundaries," said Mark Lyle, Vice President of Marketing for [yellow tail] wines. "We feel that Michael's understanding of our personality is reflected in this glassware collection."</p>
<p>The evolution of wine[tails] and the exclusive wine[tail] glasses signal [yellow tail]'s continued commitment to add fun and accessibility to the wine category. These unique glasses provide the perfect companion to the wine[tail] recipes [yellow tail] created in 2008 with award winning mixologist Trudy Thomas. These drinks provide the elegant flair of a cocktail with the freshness of a made-to-order drink.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Country's Top Wine Brand Debuts New Multimedia Campaign on October 23</em></p>
<p><strong>White Plains, NY, October 23, 2009</strong> - [yellow tail] wine&#0174;, the country's number one wine brand, is launching a new multimedia campaign, entitled "Open for Anything<sup>TM</sup>," that will debut on Friday, October 23 and air throughout the holiday season.</p>
<p>"[yellow tail] stands alone as the top wine brand in the U.S. due to our unprecedented, consistent offering of fun, approachable, affordable wine with a taste that consumers love and trust. This campaign reinforces the brand's leadership status by going where most wines cannot go," said Mark Lyle, Vice President of Marketing for W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Ltd., importer of [yellow tail].</p>
<p>"Despite our early growth and our high brand loyalty, [yellow tail] is still a discovery brand," said Isabelle McDonnell, Director of Marketing for [yellow tail] wines. "Through the new ad campaign we have the opportunity to take that to the next level and deepen consumer affinity and awareness of [yellow tail]."</p>
<p>"The 'Open for Anything' campaign reflects the brand's attitude in a humorous, unexpected way," said Mike Burns, Managing Partner of the BurnsGroup, creators of the 'Open for Anything' campaign. "[yellow tail]'s fans absolutely adore that it's a great quality wine that doesn't take itself too seriously." </p>
<p>The broadcast spots, created by the BurnsGroup (New York), were directed by Tarsem, winner of the Cannes Best Director award.<strong> </strong>His acclaimed directorial work ranges from the award-winning R.E.M. music video "Losing My Religion" to the feature film "The Cell" (starring Jennifer Lopez) and dozens of commercial advertising spots for the likes of Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Levis.</p>
<p>The first commercial, entitled "Tragedy," depicts a couple lamenting a spilled bottled of [yellow tail] wine through over-the-top operatic dialogue. However, the "tragedy" is averted when the man triumphantly reveals "we have more!" and produces two new bottles. A second execution, entitled "Swirl," shows a romantic meeting that occurs when [yellow tail] wine magically swirls from a woman's glass into a man's empty glass nearby. Moments later the couple is married. </p>
<p>Planned spending for the campaign, which will appear in national television, online, and in-store is $7 million. The launch of the campaign marks a busy year for the wine brand. In July, the brand added to its white varietals by introducing Sauvignon Blanc to its 12-varietal portfolio.  </p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"><em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>University of South Carolina, Maryland to Wear Special Uniforms and Footwear on November 14th</em></p>
<p>Baltimore, MD., October 20, 2009 - Under Armour (NYSE:UA) today announced its partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, a not-for-profit organization that provides programs and services for injured service members and their families. The two have joined forces in conjunction with the University of South Carolina and University of Maryland football teams to recognize the sacrifices made by those who have served and those that continue to serve in our nation's Armed Forces.</p>
<p>On November 14, in honor of our troops, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and University of Maryland Terrapins will wear specially designed head-to-toe uniforms for their Game Day match-ups versus the University of Florida Gators and Virginia Tech Hokies respectively. The teams will take the field in black and desert camouflage uniforms featuring the Wounded Warrior Project logo. The uniforms will also have a unique twist; a core value embellishment - Duty, Honor, Courage, Commitment, Integrity, Country, and Service - will replace the players' last name on the back of each jersey. Both games will be nationally televised.</p>
<p>Wounded Warrior Project and Under Armour will create special make-up products for fans to wear on game day to show their support. The gear will be sold in college book stores, local military base exchanges, and online at <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.underarmour.com">www.underarmour.com</a></span>. A percentage of the fan gear proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. Additionally, a select number of game jerseys will be auctioned off after the game on the University websites and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.</p>
<p>"Partnering with an organization such as the Wounded Warrior Project allows Under Armour a unique opportunity to connect with college football fans and our athletes on a whole new level, while also supporting the overall mission of the Wounded Warrior Project - to build public awareness and help support injured service men and women and their families," said Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour. "We will continue to both honor and empower those who have been wounded and we are proud to support our troops."</p>
<p>"We are extremely grateful to Under Armour and their partners, to their dedicated employees that believe in our mission, and of course to both universities and their athletic programs for this unique opportunity," said Steven Nardizzi, executive director of the Wounded Warrior Project. "The incredible design of these uniforms, especially the use of warrior character traits in place of the athletes' names on the game jerseys, and the overall visibility of these games, will generate excitement and greatly increase public awareness of our organization and the men and women we are privileged to serve."</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">MILFORD, Conn., October 1, 2009 -- SUBWAY&#0174; Restaurants, the world's largest submarine sandwich franchise, today announced a multi-platform partnership with NBC Sports that will enable the brand to engage with consumers during marquee sporting events.</p>
<p>"We are very pleased to partner with NBC Sports on this groundbreaking, multi-platform sports relationship," said Tony Pace, chief marketing officer of the SUBWAY Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust. "High profile sports work for the SUBWAY brand in a couple of ways. First, it reaches a wide swath of the population, which is very important for a brand of our size. Second, it helps reinforce the health and active dimensions of the SUBWAY brand, which set us apart from our restaurant competitors. We look forward to working with NBC Sports to continue to find ways that drive audiences to NBC and Subway."</p>
<p>Throughout the activation period, SUBWAY and NBC Sports will encourage viewers to tune-in to featured sporting events and make SUBWAY their food of choice for the occasion.

<p>"Our unique partnership with Subway is a natural extension of NBC Sports' big event strategy," said Mike McCarley, senior vice president, strategic marketing, promotions and communications, NBC Sports.  "Nothing brings friends and family together better than great food and big events on TV and having Michael and Jared enjoying Subway while watching TV is exactly what millions of Americans do."</p>
<p>The relationship with NBC Sports offers SUBWAY the opportunity to incorporate "Fresh" messaging including catering options available nationwide into a wide array of programming.  Throughout the professional football season, SUBWAY will activate with in-store Point Of Purchase materials showcasing "Sunday Night is SUBWAY Night." </p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"><em>star quarterback has extra incentive to avoid being sacked in 2009: </em><em>'<strong>smart</strong>water<sup>&#0174;</sup> zero sack give back' benefiting Boston Centers for Youth & Families</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>whitestone, ny (september 14, 2009)</strong><em> - </em>if opposing defenses have a charitable heart, they won't so much as touch quarterback tom brady this year. that's because brady has additional motivation to avoid the pass rush in 2009 - he's teamed with glac&eacute;au<strong> smart</strong>water<sup>&#0174;</sup> to create the "<strong>smart</strong>water zero sack give back," an initiative that benefits Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) for each game he goes unsacked during the season. </p>
<p>for every contest that brady finishes with a jersey that is clean and pure, like his favorite water, <strong>smart</strong>water will contribute $5,000 to BCYF, whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for boston's residents by supporting children, youth and families through a wide range of programs and services.  the donation, which will be up to $50,000, will go specifically towards promoting a healthy and active lifestyle-a meaningful cause to <strong>smart</strong>water that the brand consistently champions through its philanthropic efforts.  at the end of the season, brady and <strong>smart</strong>water will work with BCYF on the most impactful way to allocate the contribution, be it through, among other possibilities, educational classes, scholarships, new sports equipment or upgraded sports facilities.</p>
<p>brady has been a <strong>smart</strong>water partner for years and has relied on the electrolyte-enhanced water to keep him well-hydrated on and off the field.  youth and families throughout boston are hopeful that with the help of <strong>smart</strong>water's electrolytes and his offensive teammates, brady will be able to help them experience exciting new opportunities in 2010.</p>
<p>"it's always easier to throw touchdown passes from my feet than it is from my back, so i like to avoid getting sacked whenever possible," said brady. "but this year, in addition to helping the team, staying upright will help a great organization like BCYF.  pursuing an active and healthy lifestyle is a cause i feel strongly about, so i'm excited to partner with <strong>smart</strong>water on this great program."</p>
<p>"football fans in boston are ready to see tom brady back in action, and now we have an extra reason to hope his teammates protect him on every snap," said mayor thomas m. menino.  "this initiative will greatly benefit children and families in our city."<em></em></p>
<p>in 2007, his last full season of play, in which he broke the all-time season touchdown record and was named professional football's most valuable player, brady finished with five "zero sack" games.  his team won all five of those contests.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">about glac&eacute;au</span></strong></p>
<p>it all started when one thirsty man named darius wanted better water but couldn't find any worth drinking -- so he decided to make his own.  word got around, thus emerged glac&eacute;au,  a fresh new approach to bottled water.  today, glac&eacute;au is a leader in the bottled water industry and the pioneer of the enhanced water category -- maker of <strong>vitamin</strong>water&#0174;, #1 bottled water in the united states; <strong>smart</strong>water&#0174;, #1 premium bottled water in the united states; and <strong>vitamin</strong>water<strong>10<sup>TM</sup></strong>,<strong> </strong>the perfect low-calorie combination... only 10 calories per serving, naturally sweetened, great-tasting and packed with the vitamins and nutrients you need throughout the day.  glac&eacute;au is all about helping thirsty people like you responsibly hydrate with something truly good for your body.  for more information visit <a href="http://www.glaceau.com/">www.glaceau.com</a>.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>Under Armour to Unveil "The Speed Generation" Cleats with </strong><strong>Debut of National Commercial During July 19<sup>th</sup> ESPYs Telecast</strong></p>
<p>Baltimore, MD - <strong>Under Armour (NYSE: UA), </strong>the leader in<strong> </strong>performance apparel and footwear, today announced the launch of "Mission," a nationwide television campaign starring Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester and former NFL great Deion Sanders. </p>
<p>The spot, which was shot on-location at Chicago's Wrigley Field and Soldier Field, will debut during ESPN's telecast of the 17<sup>th</sup> annual ESPY awards on Sunday, July 19<sup>th</sup> and showcases Under Armour's new "UA Fierce" cleats.  Set to the soundtrack of "On a Mission" by Def Jam artist Q da Kid, who joins San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis for a cameo appearance in "Mission," the commercial provides a dynamic, fast-paced portrayal of Hester's life both on and off the field.</p>
<p>Linking the superstar to the city and the brand, "Mission" also offers an authentic view of Chicago and its iconic landscape.  The sixty-second spot, which incorporates retail partner The Sports Authority and includes entries from Devin's Twitter account, targets today's young athletes and channels their ultimate football aspirations through Hester.  This connection between NFL luminary and aspiring player is brought to life when Hester and Sanders tutor high school football players in one "Mission" moment.  That particular scene gives the viewer a rare look at Under Armour's proprietary High School Combine Series, a unique national program that exposes elite athletes to pro-style training and coaching techniques. </p>
<p>"It was such a thrill for me to provide fans with a taste of the amazing city of Chicago and what it takes to play professional football.  It was also an honor to work with one of my football idols, Deion, who knows a thing or two about speed," said Hester.  "In order to blow away the competition, I need the right cleat, and the 'UA Fierce' is the lightest I have ever used."</p>
<p>Built for speed and power, the "UA Fierce" cleat weighs just 13.8 oz and is the first cleat to feature Under Armour's Cartilage&#0174; technology.  Additionally, the shoe has a 22% reduction in cleat pressure, making it one of the most comfortable detachable cleats in the industry.  Under Armour's collegiate football partners - including the Sugar Bowl Champion University of Utah, SEC rivals Auburn and South Carolina, speed-driven Texas Tech and the University of Maryland - will debut the "UA Fierce" cleat this fall.  </p>
<p>"Under Armour was built on the platform of providing advantages for athletes, and, through this commercial, we wanted to show how our new generation of speed cleats can make one of the fastest guys in the NFL one step faster," said Steve Battista, Under Armour, Senior Vice President, Brand.</p>
<p>The "UA Fierce" is one of three designs in Under Armour's new "Speed Generation" collection, which also includes the "UA Soflo" and the "UA Nitro" cleats.</p>
<p>Additional features of the "UA Fierce" include:</p>
<h4>-  ArmourGuide&#0174; to keep the foot stable, ArmourBound&#0174; to cushion impact and return energy and ArmourLastic&#0174; to absorb shock.</h4>
<h4>-  Individual Cartilage&#0174; Smooth Transition<sup>TM</sup> discs above each cleat to provide independent suspension while reducing cleat pressure.</h4>
<h4>-  Engineered Synthetic upper to provide comfort and lightweight performance.</h4>
<h4>-  Power Strap to provide maximum support, lockdown and control.</h4>
<h4>-  Strategic vent zones built into key points where the body dumps heat to keep you cool, dry and comfortable.</h4>
<p>"Mission" will run through the 2009 NFL season, appearing on the ESPN family of networks and Versus.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"><em>National survey reveals most Americans feel trapped indoors, </em><em>struggle to find time for outdoor recreation</em></p>
<p>(June 18, 2009 - MIDDLEBURY, CT) Timex, a leader in outdoor and sports performance timepieces, today unveiled the results of a national survey examining America's relationship with the outdoors.</p>
<p>As many Americans adjust to weather the current economic climate, the survey reveals that more than half of American adults (56%) fantasize about breaking free from their homes and offices to be outdoors, and that more than one-third expect the economy will negatively impact the time they spend outside this summer.</p>
<p>The study, which comes as President Obama proclaims June as National Get Outdoors Month, illuminates a variety of topics including contemporary attitudes towards the outdoors, the most popular outdoor activities across demographic segments, and daily obstacles to spending time outdoors.</p>
<p>"Timex Expedition is dedicated to helping Americans get outside and reconnect with nature," said Heberto Calves, vice president of marketing at Timex. "This study reinforces the need for outdoor leaders like Timex Expedition to help Americans find ways to make the outdoors a larger part of their everyday lives."</p>
<p>According to the study, the vast majority of Americans (93%) agree spending time outdoors relieves stress and makes them feel refreshed, yet TV, computers and indoor social activities have a stranglehold on the American weekend. Millennials (ages 18-24) spend almost 10 hours per day on the computer and socializing with friends, yet less than two hours outdoors. Similarly, young parents spend nine hours per day caring for their children and four hours daily watching TV, yet less than two hours outdoors.</p>
<p>"You don't have to go to extremes to enjoy the benefits of spending time outdoors," said world-renowned mountaineer and Timex Expedition brand ambassador Conrad Anker. "The answer can be as simple as walking or biking to errands that are closer to home, parking away from the office and walking a small part of your daily commute, or moving family meals outside for a picnic."</p>
<p>The survey also sheds light on outdoor recreation and seasonal trends. While Americans of all ages are in agreement that May and June are the best months to get outdoors, the activities of choice vary sharply according to age:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Millennials gravitate towards fitness and exploration activities such as walking (90%), swimming (76%), running (66%), and hiking/camping (37%).</li>
<li>Young parents (25-34) are more prone to family and neighborhood-centric activities including picnicking (57%), playing in their backyards (66%) and visiting and neighborhood parks (56%)</li>
<li>Baby Boomers predominantly enjoy gardening (64%).</li>
</ul>
<p>The study was conducted among 1,122 Americans ages 18 and older using Greenfield Online from April 28 to May 1, 2009. The margin of error at a 95% confidence level is +/- 3%. For the complete results, please send inquiries to <a href="mailto:timex@catalystpublicrelations.com">timex@catalystpublicrelations.com</a>.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p align="center"><em>Ground-Breaking Show Presented by Purina&#0174; Cat Chow&#0174; Returns For A Second Season of Helping Cat Lovers Resolve Their Feline Dilemmas</em><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>ST. LOUIS, MO, MAY 7, 2009</strong> - Cats have once again solidified their position as America's favorite pets by proving that a show dedicated entirely to their well-being can successfully break through the canine-dominated television world.  <em>Housecat Housecall</em><em>&#0174;,</em> one of the first feline reality-based programs, is returning to <em>Animal Planet</em> for a second season after capturing the hearts and minds of cat-loving audiences around the country.</p>
<p>Beginning June 6<sup>th</sup><em>, </em>the weekly show, presented by Purina&#0174; Cat Chow&#0174;, profiles cat-owning families as they work with host Dr. Katrina Warren, BVSc, and her expert team, which includes Purina Cat Chow Mentor and Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda, DVM , and Dr. Rich Goldstein, DVM, to resolve their most pressing feline matters. From unruly behavior to lifestyle adjustments, <em>Housecat Housecall</em> features real cats, real people and real veterinarians working through a wide range of common cat behaviors.</p>
<p><strong>"</strong><em>Housecat Housecall</em> provides cat owners with valuable cat care information that they can apply to their own relationships with their feline friends ultimately helping them live a more connected life together,"<strong> </strong>said Dr. Katrina Warren, BVSc.  "For the series, we profile twelve families dealing with a broad range of real-life kitty concerns in an effort to relate to as many cat owners as possible. We are excited to bring the show back for a second season and provide even more cat owners with actionable solutions for bringing harmony back to their households."</p>
<p>Episodes of <em>Housecat Housecall</em> will air over a 12-week period on Saturdays at 10:30a.m. E/P with weekly "encores" each Sunday at 8a.m. E/P beginning June 6th. In each episode, Dr. Katrina visits two cat-owning homes, observes the cats in their natural environment and recommends appropriate plans of action for improving the situation.</p>
<p>Covering everything from quirky cats with a lot of energy to more complex matters like helping a once outdoor cat adjust to its new indoor lifestyle, <em>Housecat Housecall </em>gives cat owners the knowledge and tools they need to create a well-balanced home life for the whole family, including the cat.  The show recognizes that cats can exhibit lots of behaviors that add to their unique charm, but when the antics move from endearing to challenging, then it's time to bring in the professionals.  Led by Dr. Katrina, the seasoned team of cat experts on the show relies on tried-and-true methods for enabling cat owners to work towards the solution that's best for them in the long-term, and not just the one that will offer the quickest resolution.</p>
<p>"The second season of <em>Housecat Housecall</em> really takes an in-depth look at very important questions that current and potential cat owners face on a daily basis," said Dr. Katrina. "Life-changing experiences like having a new baby or being diagnosed with cancer can have a huge impact on cat owners, but these events can also mean big changes for their cats. Our goal for <em>Housecat Housecall</em> is to help cat owners work through any perceived challenges, so they can realize the true joy of having feline companions and experience the power of unconditional love. We know that cats and their owners can help each other live a better life if given a chance."</p>
<p>For cat owners seeking even more credible advice beyond the show, they can visit housecathousecall.com to find practical solutions for their individual feline situations. The website allows cat owners to share stories about their own quirky felines and gives them access to Purina Cat Chow Mentors, cat care specialists who are available to share helpful advice any day of the week, at any time.  The site also provides show information, bios on the families and episode air dates.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition national winners to job-shadow auto racing's best - defending DAYTONA 500 champion No. 17 </em>DeWALT<em> NASCAR Cup Series team</em></p>
<p>ORLANDO, Fla., (May 13, 2009) - DeWALT and Roush Fenway Racing today announced that the nation's best young automotive technicians from this year's 60th anniversary Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition will receive a dream learning experience-a week behind the scenes with the defending DAYTONA 500 champion, Roush Fenway Racing's No. 17 DeWALT Sprint Cup Series team lead by crew chief Drew Blickensderfer.</p>
<p>During the week of July 27, the winning students will "job shadow" the race team leading up to and during the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway. DeWALT will also donate three sets of tools to the winning students and their instructor to help jump start their careers as the nation's best young automotive technicians.<strong></strong></p>
<p>"At Roush Fenway Racing, we truly embrace the importance of the Student Auto Skills competition and what it brings to the auto industry. The thousands of dedicated young people who put their hearts and souls into winning the nation's premier competition for aspiring automotive technicians truly are the future of the automotive industry," said Roush Fenway Racing Team Owner Jack Roush.</p>
<p>"They have the character and drive it takes to be a winner in life and on the racetrack, and for this reason, we are proud to join DeWALT, Ford and AAA in encouraging more students to consider career choices in motorsports, automotive repairs and roadside problem-solving."</p>
<p>The dream learning experience, courtesy of DeWALT and Roush Fenway Racing, is one of the grand prizes for the two-person team that wins the Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills National Finals. The No. 17 DeWALT team will open up their garage to the students in an effort to showcase the career opportunities available on professional motorsports teams. This learning experience will begin Tuesday, July 28 at Roush Fenway Racing's facility in Concord, N.C. For two days at the race shop, the students will get to shadow Blickendserfer and his crew members as the No. 17 DeWALT Ford Fusion cars are prepared for the August 2 Sprint Cup Series race in Long Pond, Pa. The students and their instructor will then travel with the team to Pocono Raceway, where they will serve as honorary pit crew members during the NASCAR race weekend.</p>
<p>AAA and Ford-along with other affiliated companies-sponsor the nation's largest competition for high school automotive technology students, giving thousands of teens the keys to start their careers in the automotive service industry. More than 9,700 high school juniors and seniors competed in this year's competition with state finals currently underway to determine which 50 teams will move on to the National Finals in Dearborn, Michigan, June 14-16.</p>
<p>In state competitions held throughout April and May, the two-student teams are timed and tested on their abilities to correctly identify and fix intentionally installed "bugs" on identical Ford Focus vehicles.</p>
<p>Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills enables many of its participants to embark on promising careers in the automotive repair industry with a record-high $10.7 million in scholarships offered this year at both the state and national level. Demand for well-trained technicians' remains on the rise with 60 percent of the independent mechanics reported sales up last year over the previous year and 76 percent saying they expect more work, according to an Automotive Service Association survey.</p>
<p>Both the national and the state-wide competitions are organized with the support of Ford personnel, local automotive instructors and the AAA Approved Auto Repair program, a free public service AAA performs to identify quality repair facilities throughout the country.</p>
<p> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills (www.AutoSkills.com)  </span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>

Sperber announced.</p>
<p>Strahan, a SUBWAY national spokesperson and a NFL analyst for FOX, will work in conjunction with Sperber in welcoming fans, drivers and teams to Phoenix for the first official night race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season. In addition, Strahan will utter the most famous words in racing, giving the command of: "Gentlemen, start your engines!"</p>
<p>"I really appreciate the opportunity to be part of such an exciting event with my friends at SUBWAY," said Michael Strahan. "My old team won the big game in Phoenix back in 2008, so I am happy to be headed back to the desert for another great experience. I look forward to cheering on my new SUBWAY teammate, Carl Edwards at the SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500."</p>
<p>Strahan, who was named NFC Defensive Player of the Year in both 2001 and 2003, retired after helping the Giants to an improbable 17-14 Super Bowl XLII triumph over the undefeated New England Patriots in Glendale, Ariz. on February 3, 2008. He was named to the Pro Bowl roster seven times in his career.</p>
<p>"We're extremely pleased to announce someone of Michael Strahan's enormous accomplishment level as Grand Marshal for the SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500<sup>TM</sup>," Sperber said. "We look forward to welcoming Michael to Phoenix on race weekend and having him join our team in creating a festive and exciting atmosphere for all of the race fans in attendance."</p>
<p>Tickets for the April NASCAR event weekend at Phoenix International Raceway are available now by calling 1-866-408-RACE (7223) or visiting <a href="http://www.phoenixraceway.com/">www.phoenixraceway.com</a>. Be a part of it all at PIR!</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p style="text-align: center;"> <em>Total proceeds from first annual national tour to benefit Little League</em></p>
<p><strong>MILFORD, CT (March 23, 2009)</strong> - Through its partnership with Little League Baseball, SUBWAY<sup>&#0174;</sup> Restaurants announced today the first annual "Baseball Design Across America" tour commencing with a National Opening Day game in Los Angeles on March 24. The tour will kick off the 70<sup>th</sup> Little League season and will feature baseballs designed and autographed by celebrities that will be auctioned off to the public with the total proceeds benefiting the Little League.</p>
<p>The tour will make stops in seven U.S. cities including the final stop in Williamsport, Penn., at the Little League World Series. Beginning in Los Angeles, the tour will be accompanied by baseball legends who will be serving as official program spokespeople, which include Red Sox Hall of Famer Fred Lynn (Boston, 6/9), two-time World Series champion George Foster (Indianapolis, 6/26) and World Series MVP Bucky Dent (New York City, 8/6). The tour will also make a stop in Philadelphia and St. Louis during All-Star festivities; additional details will be announced when they become available.</p>
<p>"As part of our commitment to healthy, active lifestyles for kids, SUBWAY Restaurants have been proud sponsors of Little League Baseball since 2005," said Tony Pace, chief marketing officer, SUBWAY Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust.

We look forward to another great season of kids playing hard and eating fresh and to the culmination of the summer-long tour in Williamsport at the Little League World Series."</p>
<p>Major League Baseball Hall of Fame member Dave Winfield and former All-Star Fred Lynn will serve as celebrity coaches in the National Opening Day game to be held this month at La Cienega Park, Beverly Hills, Calif., giving the Little Leaguers a chance to interact with two of baseball's all-time greats. The legendary ballplayers will also throw out a ceremonial first pitch.</p>
<p>Some of the celebrities that have designed and autographed baseballs for the tour include Oscar winner Ben Affleck, actor Zac Efron, tennis star Andy Roddick, musician Gavin DeGraw, World Series champion Ryan Howard, four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon and the cast of HBO's "Entourage."</p>
<p>On June 9, auctions for the celebrity-autographed baseballs will open to the public on Mission Fish, a charitable partner of eBay, and will run through the Little League Baseball World Series that concludes on Aug. 30. </p>
<p>"We're looking forward to this summer-long event and its culmination in August at the Little League Baseball World Series," said Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League International.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>MIDDLEBURY, CT - Timex, a leader in outdoor and sports performance timepieces, today introduced the Timex&#0174; Ironman&#0174; Dress Chronograph collection, a series of stunning analog timepieces representing a sharp departure from the traditionally digital style of performance sport.<br /><br />The collection boldly interprets the strength of the athletic spirit, expressing the contemporary sportsman's energetic lifestyle within a dynamic arrangement that is equal parts distinguished and powerful.<br /><br />A dramatic crossbar reaches across the base of the stainless steel bezel, alluding to the Timex Ironman brand's signature oval form, and joins the four-bolt, stainless steel case to reinforce the piece's digital heritage. The collection's intricately layered dial is further accentuated when the familiar INDIGLO&#0174; night-light is activated.<br /><br />"The Timex Ironman Dress Chronograph captures the brand's signature elements, and re-invents them in its premiere analog offering," said Heberto Calves, vice president of marketing for Timex.

The 30-minute chronograph function measures 1/20<sup>th</sup> seconds, seconds and minutes.</p>
<p>The iconic Ironman logo adorns the handsome, comfort-driven rubber strap, in another subtle expression of the collection's performance roots.</p>
