"We are excited to offer live coverage of world-class Mexican soccer to fans with AT&T," said Kevin Conroy, president, Univision Interactive Media. "This is yet another example of how we continue to offer our audience comprehensive coverage of worldwide soccer tournaments throughout the year, no matter what device they connect from."

AT&T has a long tradition of bringing the most relevant Latino content to Hispanic consumers, including soccer, boxing, games and programming. Earlier this summer, AT&T treated fans to a Hollywood-styled advertisement campaign featuring some of Mexico's most popular national team players including Israel Castro, Efrain Juarez, Jonny Magallon and Carlos Vela. The awe-inspiring ads were created to showcase the country's rich cultural and soccer traditions, and mixed the modern elements of soccer with iconic Mexican artists and powerful pre-Columbian history.

In June and July, AT&T rolled out a star-powered soccer clinic program in 8 U.S. cities, which featured former Mexican players Claudio Suarez, Edgar Duenas and Martin Zuniga. During these clinics children learned training and dexterity tips from the pros, and shared unique moments with the players at pre-clinic autograph sessions.

Most recently, as the title sponsor of the MLS All Star Game 2010, AT&T treated fans in Houston to a one-of-a-kind futbol celebration featuring Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Hernandez signed autographs and talked to hundreds of fans during the 2-hour store event.

The Stop & Shop Giant Family Foundation Golf Classic kicks off Deutsche Bank Championship week each year by hosting the golf event and securing support from national and local vendor partners to continually reach new milestones in money raised. The end result is a larger contribution to charities that directly benefit families and youth in the communities served by Stop & Shop Supermarkets and Giant Food (Landover, MD).

This year’s Stop & Shop - Giant Family Foundation Golf Classic was held at four Massachusetts and Rhode Island golf courses: TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.; Black Rock Country Club in Hingham, Mass.; Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Mass.; and the Golf Club of Cape Cod in East Falmouth, Mass. An evening reception concluded the festivities for all 420 golfers at the TPC Boston.

At TPC Boston, PGA and LPGA TOUR players were paired with the amateur participants. The list of professional players included PGA TOUR professionals Brad Faxon, Brett Quigley, Tim Petrovic as well as LPGA professionals Reilly Rankin, Nancy Scranton and Vicki Goetze Ackerman.

“The Stop & Shop – Giant Family Foundation Golf Classic continues to be a great vehicle to help us raise money for so many deserving charities,” said Mark McGowan, President of Stop & Shop’s New England division. “Through the generous support of our vendor partners, we are able to make significant contributions to the communities we serve and impact the lives of many families and children.”

In 2009, the Foundation launched a Food Bank program focused on children. In its second year, the program will support food banks served by Stop & Shop and Giant Foods with $500,000 worth of grants.

In addition to this year’s Golf Classic, Stop & Shop conducted a food drive at its Mansfield, Mass., store on Wednesday, September 1. Customers were invited to donate canned and non-perishable food items or make cash donations to the Greater Boston Food Bank.

On Thursday, September 2, Stop & Shop teamed up with State Street Corporation, another Founders Club partner of the Deutsche Bank Championship, and the PGA TOUR Wives foundation as part of the second-annual “Healthy Packs” initiative to provide approximately 2,000 pre-packed reusable bags of healthy snack options to children in need throughout the South Boston, Brockton, and Dorchester communities of Massachusetts.

“Stop & Shop continues to be a tremendous partner of the Deutsche Bank Championship,” said Championship Director Eric Baldwin. “The Stop & Shop – Giant Family Foundation truly embodies the charitable spirit of the Championship and our combined mission of helping children and families.  We are very appreciative of their support and commitment as these types of programs enable us to continue to impact well deserving charities.”

Platinum Plus and Platinum sponsors in 2010 include: Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, Nestle Purina Pet Care and Nestle USA, Kimberly-Clark, Advantage Sales & Marketing, General Mills, Georgia Pacific, Kellogg Company, Perdue Farms, Apple & Eve, C&S Wholesale, Bimbo Bakeries, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Pepsi, Garelick Farms, Conagra Foods, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., Minute Maid, Campbell’s Soup Co., SC Johnson, Turkey Hill Ice Cream, Heinz, Acosta Sales & Marketing and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.

The Stop & Shop - Giant Family Foundation Golf Classic is part of an overall marketing and community relations program the company undertakes. Fenway Sports Group works closely with Stop & Shop to create a powerful marketing platform that leverages the power of the PGA TOUR and the Deutsche Bank Championship. This unique partnership provides Stop & Shop with a compelling promotional tool resulting in unprecedented participation from vendors and its partners.

“This event continues to grow in popularity and in charitable giving,” said Alex Baldwin, Vice President of Fenway Sports Group. “Stop & Shop and the Deutsche Bank Championship is a great partnership which exemplifies the importance of community leaders working together to help children and families.”

Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., announced today its 2011 YFZ450R and YFZ450X sport ATVs, completing the industry's strongest sport ATV line-up for the coming year.  With superior power, comfort and handling, Yamaha's high-revving YFZ450R and 450X are specifically designed for pure performance and get new color and graphics in 2011.

Both the YFZ450R and X have proven Yamaha performance and durability with long-travel adjustable suspension, a no-weld aluminum with steel hybrid frame, and a powerful fuel injected engine.  These two ATVs have a lot in common, but their subtle differences have a major impact on their performance in different riding situations.

The YFZ450R is a motocross-ready ATV at 48.8 inches wide.  It is also set up perfect for wide-open trails, desert terrain and sand dunes.  The YFZ450X is tweaked to be a tight-trail machine at 46.1 inches wide and optimized suspension settings.  Both machines have proven to be championship caliber and customer favorites.

"Yamaha started the high-performance 450 sport ATV class with the original YFZ450, and we continue to dominate this class with the best options no matter where you race or ride," said Mike Martinez, Yamaha ATV and Side-by-Side Vehicle Group General Manager.  "Yamaha has the strongest sport ATV line-up because of our ability to constantly push performance to new levels while maintaining a customer focus and durability in our products that's superior to anything else in the industry."

Both Yamaha models have powerful 5-valve DOHC liquid cooled single cylinder 449cc engines.  Yamaha's electronic fuel injection features a 42mm Mikuni® throttle body, 12-hole Denso injector system and a Mitsubishi 32 bit ECU providing exceptional atomization of the fuel for maximum power, unrivaled throttle response and automatic altitude and temperature adjustment.  

The superior suspension on both YFZ450R and X models comes from the 44mm KYB shocks in front that have Kashima coating for smooth operation and impact absorption.  The 450R has 9.8 inches of wheel travel while the 450X has 9.4.  In the back, the gravity-fed cast aluminum swingarm is matched to a fully adjustable 46mm KYB piggyback shock affording the rear wheels 11 inches of travel on both models.

Yamaha designed the YFZ450R and X models to not only provide superior power and performance, but also the comfort and ergonomics to keep riders in the seat longer.  When the all-new 450R was first introduced in 2008, it included the new lighter chassis with a T-shaped seat, flexible side panels, adjustable ProTaper® handle bars, and custom-designed Dunlop® tires measuring 21 inches in front and 20 in back.

"When you're riding for fun with your buddies or flat out in a race, one fast lap isn't all you need," said Travis Hollins, Yamaha's ATV and Side-by-Side Vehicle Product Planning Manager.  "You want to be able to ride all day and consistently pull fast times.  That's only possible if you're comfortable on the machine – if you fit and work together as one unit.  That's what we built into the YFZ450R and YFZ450X."

The 2011 YFZ450R and YFZ450X both come in Team Yamaha Blue and White for $8,599.  The 2011 YFZ450R and YFZ450X Special Edition models, at $8,949, get aggressive new colors with a Black Metallic base, red accents and unique SE graphics.  These Special Editions also have quick-release fasteners for no-tools installation and removal of the front and rear fenders, a black swingarm and a dealer-installed GYTR® black front grab bar.  They will be in dealerships starting this November.  More details, photos and videos are at: www.Yamaha-Motor.com

Green Earth Technologies (OTCQB: GETG) is pleased to announce that their American Le Mans Series sponsored team, Green Earth Team Gunnar (GETG), placed 1st this past weekend as well as the weekend before at the LMP Challenge at Road America and at Lime Rock, winning 3 out of the last 4 races.  Including a victory at Long Beach earlier in the season, Gunnar Jeannette and Elton Julian were LMP Challenge winners for the fourth time for Green Earth Team Gunnar with their ORECA FLM09, taking the pole position twice this season. Jeannette posted the fastest lap of the race, still racing on the same G-OIL® motor oil that was in the car when the team took delivery of it in the winter.

GETG is one of the cornerstones of the American Le Mans Series green movement. The car uses biodegradable oil called G-Oil, the world's first and only bio-based and ultimate biodegradable motor oil approved by the American Petroleum Institute. Additionally, Gunnar Jeannette has become a popular icon of the Green Dream Team, promoting sustainable practices as he brings the team in the lead for the championship heading into Atlanta.

"We are up to 83.5 hours on the engine at the completion of this race and G-OIL has brought us to a first place finish for four races," Jeanette said. "I've been speaking in different cities as part of the ALMS Green Dream Team and the fans are really receptive to G-OIL and our message. We look forward to Atlanta and another consecutive win."

And now other AMLS teams are adopting G-OIL for their motor oil of choice ... including Genoa Racing who finished third last weekend. In addition to Green Earth Team Gunnar, Innersports and Mathieson Motor Sports have asked for the bio-based oil.

"We are successfully demonstrating the performance of our G-OIL under the toughest driving conditions, supporting our message that if G-OIL can perform in these engines, then it will definitely perform in yours," said Jeffrey Loch, Founder & Chief Marketing Officer of Green Earth Technologies. "It's been a pleasure to watch the G-OIL car race to the finish in first place for the fourth time and a terrific compliment to see other teams successfully embracing our oil.

Green Earth Team Gunnar is now tied for the championship heading into the last and final race next month in Atlanta ... Road Atlanta's Petit Le Mans.
