UNIVERSAL PICTURES AND BEST BUY HOST FREE MOVIE WEEKEND WITH NATIONAL RELEASE OF INSPIRING DRAMA 'PEACEFUL WARRIOR'

Consumers to Receive Up to $15 Million in Free Tickets for Film's Opening Weekend, March 30 - April 1, 2007

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. and MINNEAPOLIS, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Buy and Universal Pictures will give away up to $15 million in tickets to the March 30 weekend's nationwide theatrical release of Sobini Films' "Peaceful Warrior." The innovative offer was announced today by Adam Fogelson, president of marketing, Universal Pictures, and Jill Hamburger, vice president of entertainment, Best Buy.

Tickets for the first weekend's showings of the inspirational film adaptation of Dan Millman's perennial best-selling novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, will be given away through a dedicated web portal, www.bestbuy.com/peacefulwarrior. From March 18 through April 1, customers who visit Best Buy locations across the United States will receive information on the giveaway, and visitors to www.bestbuy.com will be directed to www.bestbuy.com/peacefulwarrior, where they will be able to obtain up to 10 free tickets. Information for the ticket giveaway will also be available in Best Buy stores and through Best Buy's Reward Zone program.

"We wanted to find a way to give this film -- and films like it -- a real chance to compete in this marketplace," stated Fogelson. "This movie's inspiring and positive message connects powerfully with people, but it simply isn't possible to reduce or market it efficiently or economically in the customary ways. We wanted to allow consumers a chance to sample the film and opted to redirect money from a traditional marketing campaign and instead purchase and provide tickets to moviegoers directly. We marshaled the various disciplines at Universal Pictures, found an enthusiastic partner in Best Buy and secured support from exhibition chains willing to experiment with us."

"We are excited to take part in this innovative effort," said Hamburger. "At Best Buy, we understand the passion our customers have for movies, and we are also strong supporters of the artists and the creative spirit behind the motion picture industry. By providing free tickets to "Peaceful Warrior," we are serving both of these goals and helping expose our customers to a movie that may otherwise not get the attention it deserves."

"We are beyond thrilled that audiences will be given a chance to experience a film that remains a passion project for everyone involved," said Sobini Films' Mark Amin and Cami Winikoff, producers of "Peaceful Warrior." "Universal and Best Buy are trying something completely innovative, and we are so grateful for their dedication to give our film the chance to reach an audience that was otherwise not possible."

Sobini Films' "Peaceful Warrior" will have a wide national release on March 30, 2007, in association with Universal Pictures and Lionsgate. The film is based on the inspirational best-seller Way of the "Peaceful Warrior." The novel and the film chronicle the semi-autobiographical story of author Dan Millman's life-altering relationship with an unlikely mentor whose teachings about spirit over strength profoundly affected not only Millman but also untold readers in the two and a half decades since the book was first published.

The film had a limited release in 2006 through Lionsgate, after which producers Mark Amin and Cami Winikoff brokered a deal between Universal and Lionsgate for this unique second-chance opportunity with Universal's Adam Fogelson, with whom they share a longstanding professional relationship.

HOW TO GET TICKETS

Those interested in the giveaway can visit Best Buy locations starting March 18 for information on how to obtain up to 10 free movie theater tickets to the first weekend of "Peaceful Warrior's" wide release on March 30 - April 1. Members of Best Buy's Reward Zone program will get early access to the tickets from March 15 through March 17.

While visiting www.bestbuy.com/peacefulwarrior, customers will be directed to an online ticket request site, where they will be asked to enter their zip code. From there, customers will select a participating theater in their area. After selecting the theater, one or more passes will be generated that will allow up to 10 people to be admitted into that theater.

"This truly is an example of an offer with no strings attached," explained Fogelson. "We simply wanted to provide the opportunity for as many people as possible to see the film for free on its first weekend, with the hope that their word of mouth and enthusiasm might sustain interest for "Peaceful Warrior." We are grateful that Best Buy joined with us in this experiment, and that theater owners also were willing to give this idea a chance to succeed."

ABOUT "PEACEFUL WARRIOR"

A moving tale about the power of the human spirit, "Peaceful Warrior" is based on Dan Millman's perennially best-selling autobiographical novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. In the film, Scott Mechlowicz plays Dan, a talented-yet-arrogant college gymnast with Olympic dreams and a golden future. The athlete thinks he has it all: bookcases of trophies, endless friends, fast rides and disposable relationships. But all that is about to change.

One day, Dan's world is turned upside down after a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger he comes to know as Socrates (Nick Nolte) -- a man who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. After he suffers a debilitating injury, with the mystical help of Socrates and an elusive young woman named Joy (Amy Smart), Dan will grow to realize that strength of spirit is what leads a man to his true greatness.

From a screenplay by Kevin Bernhardt, "Peaceful Warrior" is directed by Victor Salva and produced by Mark Amin, Cami Winikoff, Robin Schorr and David Welch.

Russian River Festivals to Change Ownership and Remain in Guerneville

Blues Legend Buddy Guy to Headline the 2007 Russian River Blues Festival

GUERNEVILLE, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Lupe De Leon, veteran music promoter and talent agent, today announced the sale of his two Sonoma County music festivals to Omega Events, a prominent West Coast music festival promoter. The move ensures that the popular summer festivals will remain in Guerneville for years to come.

Omega, which produces the popular Summer Concert Series at nearby Rodney Strong Vineyards, quickly announced the dates for the 2007 festivals:

Russian River Blues Festival June 16 & 17, 2007
Russian River Jazz Festival September 9 & 10, 2007

Both events are held annually at Johnson's Beach in Guerneville, a popular resort town nestled in the scenic Russian River Valley. Guerneville is fast becoming a nationally known destination for wine enthusiasts looking to visit the dozens of world-class wineries in Sonoma County.

"Lupe De Leon has been a tremendous supporter of our venue and we will be forever thankful that he breathed new life into the events," said Clare Harris, proprietor of Johnson's Beach Resort since 1967. "These festivals are nationally-recognized, and loved by the local community, and we have Lupe to thank."

"The Russian River Festivals have been a labor of love, and I am proud of the history of the events," De Leon said. "After so many great years, I felt now was right time to pass the reigns onto a new promoter. Omega Events is the perfect choice. It has a proven track record for producing highly successful and entertaining jazz and blues festivals. It focuses on what's important: quality music and the best customer experience possible."

Omega Events has been producing music festivals and concerts throughout the West Coast for the last 13 years, including the long-running Doheny Blues Festival (Dana Point), the Rodney Strong Vineyards Series (Healdsburg) and Old Pasadena JazzFest. As part of today's announcement, Rich Sherman, President of Omega Events, announced that Grammy-Award Winner BUDDY GUY will headline the 2007 Russian River Blues Festival on June 17. In addition, saxophonist BONEY JAMES, a multiple Grammy-Award nominee, will appear at the Russian River Jazz Festival in September.

"We look forward to continuing the tradition of the Russian River Festivals, and we are honored that Buddy Guy will kick off our first event at Johnson's Beach," Sherman said.

An Offer to 'Choose Your Adventure' and an Online Interactive Film Drive the Marketing Campaign for the All-New 2007 Jeep(R) Patriot

An Offer to 'Choose Your Adventure' and an Online Interactive Film Drive the Marketing Campaign for the All-New 2007 Jeep(R) Patriot

* Unique film helps viewers experience the features and capabilities of the Jeep Patriot * TV spots, print ads and online ads are among other elements launching March 15 * 'March Madness' media will play a big role in the campaign

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the second time in as many months, the Jeep(R) brand has created a cutting-edge Internet experience designed to provide consumers an online immersion into the features and capabilities of the all-new 2007 Jeep Patriot compact sport-utility vehicle (SUV).

"Wolf" TV Spot (May have to copy and paste web address into your browser): http://wm.world.mii-/ streaming.net/media/convergent/dcstudios/VIDEO/2007/mar/patriot_wolf.wmv

In February the Jeep brand and Marvel Comics unveiled "The Patriot Factor," an online adventure comic book whose story line is being provided by consumers at www.patriotadventure.com.

Today, as part of the nationwide marketing launch for the Jeep Patriot, the brand introduced "The Way Beyond Trail," an online interactive film. Consumers can join three characters who drive a Jeep Patriot while searching for a buried treasure. Consumers directly impact the evolution of the plot through their viewing choices, making "The Way Beyond Trail" a unique and truly interactive experience.

Product features of the Jeep Patriot are integral to the story line. In one scene, for example, the lead female character invites a group of people to a tailgate party by cranking up the music on the Patriot's two articulating speakers packaged in the liftgate.

"'The Way Beyond Trail' and 'The Patriot Factor' combine the timeless magic of story-telling with the power and reach of the Internet," Jay Kuhnie, Director - Jeep Communications, said. "Both applications allow us to engage prospective customers of the Jeep Patriot in an environment that is interactive and entertaining, which resonates well with them."

"The Way Beyond Trail," which goes live on March 15 at www.patriotadventure.com, is a unique element of the marketing campaign for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The campaign also includes two new 30-second TV spots, print ads, online advertising, a Hispanic campaign, product integration, events, direct mail, billboards and other out-of-home elements.

Overall, the theme of the Jeep Patriot marketing campaign, "choose your adventure," is reinforced within the major elements of the campaign. For example, "The Way Beyond Trail" has 44 scenes (ranging from 15-30 seconds in length) and participants choose their path through the adventure.

Even the print ads allow readers to choose how they will interact with them.

Ultimately, the campaign theme takes its cue from the 2007 Jeep Patriot. That's because the all-new vehicle delivers the fun, freedom, utility and best-in-class Jeep 4x4 capability that allows anyone to "choose your adventure."

"The Jeep Patriot is targeted at young, active men and women who always wanted a Jeep but couldn't afford one," John Plecha, Director - Jeep Marketing and Global Communications, said. "Now, these consumers can choose their adventure in a Jeep Patriot because it delivers the Jeep experience at an affordable starting price - $14,985."

Among the key elements of the campaign are:

Media

From now until April 1, Jeep Patriot advertising will be prominent wherever there's news about March Madness, the NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship. For example, sports-themed banners about the Jeep Patriot will appear on virtually every Web site devoted to sports, including ESPN.com, SportingNews.com, SportsIllustrated.com, as well as the home pages of AOL and Yahoo!, among others. The two TV spots will get frequent airing on TV sports programming such as CBS Sports, College Sports TV, Fox Sports and College Hoops Network. Print ads already have appeared in USA Today and will continue during March Madness.

The Way Beyond Trail

The main characters are Gary, Srini and Jodi. (The same trio appears in the TV commercials for the 2007 Jeep Patriot.) Each online participant becomes the fourth member of the group of friends on a backwoods camping trip. The story starts around a campfire when Gary reveals an old family treasure map handed down from his uncle. The three friends, plus the viewer, decide they'll be the ones to find it.

It is possible to complete the adventure without viewing all 44 scenes. Part of the challenge and fun is that some scenes are dead ends. However, players can simply go back and make a different choice to keep the story going. There is only one correct path that leads participants to the ending scene of the interactive film.

Participants can customize their experience by uploading photos and personal information that will reappear as embedded content within the film.

There is also a viral component. Participants have the option to provide an Emergency Contact person (name and e-mail address) in the event they get "lost." On the first instance of encountering a dead end, an e-mail is automatically sent to their Emergency Contact, inviting them to try their own luck on "The Way Beyond Trail."

TV Spot Descriptions

"Wolf" -- At a riverside campsite, Gary and Srini pull a prank on Jodi by taking her canoe from the roof of her 2007 Jeep Patriot. As they head to the river to make their escape, Jodi can't awaken her male partner. So she fires up the Jeep Patriot and pursues the pranksters on a path that goes parallel to the river. After driving through rugged terrain which the Jeep Patriot handles effortlessly, Jodi stops ahead of the fleeing canoe. On the opposite bank of the river she spots a wolf on a rock. She takes her forefinger and thumb and puts them in front of her face. She picks up the wolf with her fingers and drops it into the canoe. Terrified, Gary and Srini jump into the river and escape.

"Wake Up" -- The interior features of the Jeep Patriot are highlighted as two campers load their gear into the rear of the vehicle. A third camper, however, is asleep in his tent. Nothing rouses him: not his friends raising the volume of the Patriot's MP3 player, or pointing the flip-down speakers directly at the tent and blasting music. Finally, one of the campers takes his forefinger and thumb and puts them in front of his eye and picks up the guy's tent. He lifts it over the water and dumps his friend into the lake.

"Wolf" will first air on March 15 during the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament. "Wake Up" debuts March 20. Both will run on sports, music, entertainment and news programming, on late-night shows, and on networks such as Fox, ABC, NBC, E!, MTV and FX.

"Animales" is the title of the TV campaign targeted at Hispanics. There are two Spanish-language 30-second TV spots scheduled to start airing in April on Univision, Telefutura, Galavision, ESPN Deportes, GolTV, LatiNation and Mun2.

"Mosquito" -- A chameleon is interrupted by his friend the mosquito moments before he prepares for lunch. The mosquito explains how he noticed a new animal -- the Jeep Patriot -- in the forest. Intrigued, the chameleon follows and tries to make it his next meal. As the Jeep Patriot drives through the forest, showcasing the capability of its Freedom Drive II(TM) Off-road Package, the mosquito follows its every move. Just as mosquito begins his final approach the Patriot kicks up mud in his face and the mosquito flies blindly into a tree head first.

"Weasel" -- An amorous weasel wanders through the forest and stumbles upon a new animal -- the Jeep Patriot -- which seems to be singing a beautiful song. The Weasel eagerly approaches the Patriot, admiring its classic angles and modern features, such as the rear-liftgate speakers which projects the beautiful song throughout the forest. The Weasel is overcome with emotion and falls in love with the Jeep Patriot.

"Family Tree" is a print ad in English and Spanish that will appear in such Hispanic publications as Billboard Latino, Futbol Mundial, Latino U, Urban Latino, Fox Sports en Espanol, ESPN Deportes, among others.

Print Ads

There are two versions of an ad called "Connect the Dots." Each has a photo of the Jeep Patriot in a field of dots that are assigned to numbers. One set of numbers and dots is red, the other is blue. Readers can choose to connect the red or blue dots. Each yields a different image.

The other print execution is a full-page spread with a sticker insert. There are two versions of this ad. One spread shows a forest scene. It is divided by an insert that has stickers on both sides. The stickers are removable pictures of the Jeep Patriot, plus people, clothing and gear that would be found in a forest. Readers can remove the stickers and arrange them any way they want on the forest page. The possibilities for this version of "choose your adventure" are limitless. The second version of this ad uses a beach scene, with related stickers that also can be placed wherever the reader likes.

A sampling of the print placements includes sports publications (Sports Illustrated; ESPN, the annual March Madness Preview Section of USA Today), music (Rolling Stone, and Spin,), men's lifestyle (Maxim, Details, GQ, Men's Health,) outdoor/adventure (Surfer, Four Wheeler, Runner's World) and women's lifestyle (Jane, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan).

Verizon's FiOS TV Approved in Orangetown, N.Y.

FiOS TV Will Transform the Market for Cable Competition, Choice and Value

ORANGETOWN, N.Y., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of this Rockland County community are a major step closer to having a real choice for their cable television services, thanks to a vote Monday night (March 12) by the Orangetown Board of Trustees to approve a video franchise for Verizon. The board's vote brings to 29 the total number of New York communities that have approved agreements authorizing Verizon to offer its FiOS TV service.

"This is great news for residents of Orangetown, who now have a new choice for their video entertainment," said Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut. "Verizon's FiOS TV offers consumers something they've never had before, with incredible pictures and sound clarity and innovative new services -- all from a brand they know and trust."

Orangetown joins a growing list of New York communities that are paving the way for competition and choice in the television market. In addition to Orangetown, Verizon has been granted video franchises in Rockland County by the communities of Clarkstown, Nyack, South Nyack, Upper Nyack and Grandview-on-Hudson. Verizon also has video franchises in the Westchester County communities of Irvington, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytown, Eastchester, Mount Kisco, Elmsford, Port Chester, Tuckahoe and the Town of Greenburgh, and on Long Island in the villages of Massapequa Park, Cedarhurst, Laurel Hollow, Lynbrook, Mineola, East Rockaway, Farmingdale, Valley Stream and Freeport, and the towns of Huntington, Smithtown, Hempstead and Oyster Bay.

As with all local franchise approvals in New York, the agreement between Verizon and Orangetown is subject to review by the New York State Public Service Commission.

Verizon's FiOS TV is a formidable competitor to cable and satellite, offering a broad collection of all-digital programming, more than 20 high-definition (HD) channels in the New York market, and access to more than 8,500 on-demand titles, 60 percent of which are free. Verizon is providing FiOS services on the nation's most advanced digital all-fiber-optic network. Only Verizon's fiber network has earned the certification of the independent Fiber to the Home Council for providing fiber all the way to customers' homes and businesses.

Verizon's fiber network delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. In addition to FiOS TV, Verizon's fiber network also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps, as well as high-quality voice service.*

*NOTE: actual (throughput) speeds will vary.

Bloomberg TV Examines 'Phantom Shares' in Special Report Tonight

Bloomberg TV Examines 'Phantom Shares' in Special Report Tonight

Trading Tactic Can Reduce Value for Investors and Companies, Bloomberg Reports

'20,800% of our company traded in a single month. The shares weren't available. They ... weren't there. There's no way they could've been trading.' - Frank Dobrucki, CEO, Global Links Corp.

'I see no reason why sellers should be able to fail to deliver shares for years in brand name companies. It just doesn't make sense. It raises the question, "What is going on here?' - James Angel, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Finance, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University

'Abusive naked short sales ... can be used as a tool to drive down a company's stock price to the detriment of all its investors.' - Christopher Cox, Chairman, Securities and Exchange Commission

NEW YORK, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Tonight BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R) examines a little-known stock trading practice that can be affecting your portfolio and your company. The special report, titled "Phantom Shares," explores the problem of "naked shorting" in the stock market. The half-hour BLOOMBERG TELEVISION program is scheduled to air on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 at 7:00, 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. ET.

Every day, millions of shares of stock are sold but can't be delivered because of an obscure trading practice called "naked short selling." In a normal short sale, an investor borrows shares and sells them, making a profit if the price falls by replacing the borrowed shares with cheaper ones. In a naked short sale, an investor doesn't borrow the shares, but sells them anyway. In extreme cases, the investor sells "Phantom Shares," shares that don't exist. The BLOOMBERG TELEVISION report, anchored by Mike Schneider, explains this practice, how it's executed and what the Securities and Exchange Commission is doing in an effort to control it.

According to the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION report, thousands of publicly-traded companies, including high profile brands such as Overstock.com, Delta Airlines, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts and Taser International, have been affected by naked short selling.

Tonight's program features interviews with naked short selling's highest- profile critic, Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne; James Chanos, President of Kynikos Associates who is nicknamed 'The Dean' of short sellers; and Peter Chepucavage, a former SEC attorney who helped write the regulations that were meant to battle abusive short selling.

Bloomberg's exclusive news and follow up reports are available to the public on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION and BLOOMBERG RADIO(R) services worldwide, as well as to Bloomberg subscribers via the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL(R) service.

Verizon Wireless to Sponsor Hispanic Events at the Aragon Ballroom

Verizon Wireless to Sponsor Hispanic Events at the Aragon Ballroom

Company Seeks to Increase its Presence in Hispanic Community and Awareness of its Hispanic-Focused Products and Services

CHICAGO, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless today announced an agreement with Viva Entertainment Group to become the exclusive wireless sponsor of the popular Hispanic events produced by the Aragon Ballroom, including concerts, dances, boxing matches and more. Through this sponsorship, Verizon Wireless seeks to increase its presence in Chicago's Hispanic community and to raise awareness of its Hispanic-focused products and services.

"We are delighted to be affiliated with this historic venue and to further demonstrate our commitment to Chicago's Hispanic community," said Miguel Bassail, Verizon Wireless' manager of multicultural marketing in the Midwest Area. "Our company is dedicated to serving the interests of our Hispanic customers, and many of the Hispanic artists performing at the Aragon are featured in our V CAST Music service, so this partnership is very synergistic."

The sponsorship extends over a one-year period, from March 2007 through February 2008. Financial provisions of the sponsorship were not disclosed. Under the agreement, Verizon Wireless will have a wealth of brand integration elements, inclusion in the media promotions of all applicable events, a 10x10 demonstration booth at each Hispanic event, general admission and VIP tickets, celebrity meet-and-greets and unique opportunities such as text-to-screen that will allow wireless phone users to send text messages to be displayed on video screens in the venue. Verizon Wireless also will have high-profile signage throughout the Aragon Ballroom as well as a host of other promotional and hospitality opportunities.

As part of the sponsorship, Verizon Wireless has reserved the venue to host the company's second annual Mother's Day Concert, which will bring popular Hispanic talent to the community for an event benefiting Chicago's Casa Central domestic violence program. This year's Mother's Day Concert is scheduled for Saturday, May 12.

"Verizon Wireless has been an enormous contributor to the Hispanic community in Chicago," said Luis Rossi, an owner of the Aragon Ballroom and CEO of the Viva Marketing Group, the marketing branch of the Viva Entertainment Group. "The Aragon Ballroom is honored to partner with such an outstanding sponsor, a corporation that regularly gives back to the Hispanic community through charitable contributions; the hiring of diverse, bilingual staff to support the Hispanic consumer; and the production of events such as the Mother's Day Concert."

The Aragon Ballroom sponsorship is just one of numerous efforts that Verizon Wireless has made in the past several years to expand its products and services targeted at Hispanic consumers in Chicago and nationwide.

In 2006, the company launched its V CAST Music service, which includes a Latino genre featuring nearly 70,000 songs from popular Latino artists. Also last year, the company upgraded its V CAST Video service, which now features a Latino category, offering on-demand video clips including unique Spanish- language content from providers such as Plaza Sesamo, Si TV, Sorpresa and Viva Vision. Verizon Wireless' popular Ringtones and Ringback Tones also include Latin and Reggaeton categories.

In 2005, Verizon Wireless opened its first bilingual Telesales Center serving customers in the company's Midwest Area, bringing new jobs to the Little Village community and providing Hispanics with increased convenience and accessibility to the company's products and services. In 2007, the company continues its aggressive hiring of bilingual employees to fill positions at more than 32 retail locations that serve predominantly Hispanic communities in Chicagoland, as well as at the company's Customer Service Center in Elgin, which offers Spanish-language customer support.

"When we launched the search for America's Next Fitness Star, we wanted to find an individual who would motivate people to be their best -- someone who demonstrates and believes, as I do, that fitness can be fun," says Jake. "Brandy is a fantastic health and fitness advocate who embodies that dynamic spirit, energy and commitment. She's already a local hero in Boston, and we are proud to help bring her the national recognition she deserves."

"I am truly humbled to be selected as America's Next Fitness Star," says Cruthird. "It is inspiring to be a part of a team lead by a fitness revolutionary like Jake, whose determination, tenacity and integrity continue to empower and motivate the masses. I am excited to have the opportunity to bring my love of fitness to a broader audience in the hopes of changing lives one workout at a time!"

Born and raised in Roxbury and currently residing in Dorchester, Mass., Cruthird's interest in physical fitness was sparked in the ninth grade, when she began playing basketball in a local community center. A Division I player, Cruthird played throughout college at James Madison University in Virginia, and now says, "Physical fitness changed my life." In 1996 she opened her own fitness center in Roxbury, a largely African-American community where no such center had existed before. Currently, her fitness center is the only one of its kind for children in Boston. She later became a physical education instructor at Josiah Quincy Upper School in Boston, and noticed many of her students were overweight and suffering from a variety of ailments stemming from poor diet and insufficient exercise. She has launched an array of programs to combat childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes, including the annual "Every Body Walk Your Body" Fitness Walk and Health Fair in Boston; the nationwide "Get Active" campaign in partnership with United Way, a series of family fitness videos entitled "The House Is Getting Fit(R)."

Cruthird has also been featured on NBC Nightly News' "Making a Difference," in Essence magazine and The Boston Globe, and has received numerous awards, including Ford Motors' 2006 Fusion "Live In Drive Award" and the 2006 Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare "Innovator Award."

Placing second and third, respectively, in the "America's Next Fitness Star" contest were Nicole Rollolazo, a professional fitness competitor and personal trainer from Los Angeles, California; and Jules Benson, a personal trainer from Belton, Texas.

UFC 70: NATIONS COLLIDE on Spike TV!

UFC 70: NATIONS COLLIDE on Spike TV!

Star-Studded Card Features Heavyweight Contenders Mirko Cro Cop and Andrei Arlovski and Light Heavyweights Forrest Griffin and Michael Bisping

Fights to Air on Spike TV Saturday, April 21 at 9:00 PM from Manchester, England

NEW YORK, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirko Cro Cop (22-4-2) came to the UFC with heavyweight title ambitions, and the Croatian native will try and continue his ascension to the top of the division as he squares off against Gabriel Gonzaga (7-1-0) at UFC 70: NATIONS COLLIDE. This star-studded, pay- per-view-quality fight card will telecast on Spike TV on Saturday, April 21 at 9:00 PM, ET/PT from the MEN Arena in Manchester, England.

Former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, The Ultimate Fighter(R) 1 light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin, and The Ultimate Fighter 3 light heavyweight champion and British native Michael Bisping will also appear on the fight card.

"Manchester is the home of sporting legends, so what better place to launch the UFC in the UK," said Dana White, UFC President. "The city always appreciates a great sporting event and we know that is exactly what UFC 70 will give them."

"We're excited to be able to bring the UFC's first foray into Europe to our viewers in the United States in this extraordinary event," said Spike TV General Manager Kevin Kay.

Fresh off his dominant win against Eddie Sanchez in his UFC debut on February 3 at UFC 66, Cro Cop will try and utilize his heralded striking ability to neutralize the jiu-jitsu advances of his opponent, rising heavyweight Gonzaga. A black belt under Wander Braga, Gonzaga has won his first three UFC fights in convincing fashion. The fight will determine number one title contender status in the UFC heavyweight division, with the winner receiving a shot at the title against newly crowned heavyweight champion Randy "The Natural" Couture.

Also on the card, is former heavyweight champion "The Pit Bull" Arlovski (12-5-0) as he looks to pick up his second consecutive victory and get back into the heavyweight title picture against Fabricio Werdum (9-2-1). A jiu jitsu expert training out of Brazil, Werdum is making his UFC debut.

The card will also feature light heavyweight Griffin (13-4-0) as he attempts to bounce back from his defeat at the hands of Keith Jardine at UFC 66, by going head-to-head with undefeated Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida (9-0-0). Machida is coming off a victory against Sam Hoger at UFC 67 and his matchup with Griffin is a meeting of strikers that will certainly lead to fireworks inside the Octagon(TM).

The event will also mark the homecoming for Britain's own "The Count" Bisping (12-0-0). A Liverpool native, Bisping, fresh off an impressive victory against Eric Schaefer at UFC 66, puts his undefeated record on the line against the Australian born Elvis "The King of Rock n Rumble" Sinosic (8- 9-2).
