Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Chris Rice Releases Sixth Studio Project, What a Heart Is Beating For, July 17th on INO Records/Columbia

Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Chris Rice Releases Sixth Studio Project, What a Heart Is Beating For, July 17th on INO Records/Columbia

'Like Michael Buble, Adult Contemporary Radio Has The Opportunity To Lay Claim To A Flourishing New Staple Artist' - Billboard Magazine, June 2007

"LEMONADE" ON THE R&R CHART: http://www.radioandrecords.com/Formats/Charts/AC_Chart.asp

NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Rice continues to head in a fresh direction with his new studio release, What A Heart Is Beating For, on INO Records/Columbia.

Rice is perhaps best known for last year's top 10 mainstream AC radio hit, "When Did You Fall (In Love With Me?)," which has subsequently become a wedding staple. Currently, Rice's new single, "Lemonade" is soaring up the Billboard AC chart.

The new album, produced by Monroe Jones, also features the provocative stand-out track "You Don't Have to Yell," a song which calls the media to task for creating news and not reporting it, reality television for emphasizing shouting matches as a solution, and criticizes narrow-mindedness and intolerance.

"I'm more excited about these songs on the project than ever," says Rice. "I feel like they've taken me as a writer into new territory that allowed me to explore different aspects of my own writing and thinking. There aren't constraints on it. There aren't lines in the coloring book that I have to stay in. I get to put on the page whatever I want. It's a freedom I can't describe."

The first single off of the album, "Lemonade," follows the Number 7 AC hit, "When Did You Fall (In Love With Me?)," which stayed on the chart for more than six months. "Lemonade" is perhaps the ultimate optimistic anthem. The lyric is bursting with visuals of a beautiful sky and the fruits of a positive attitude. We've all heard the adage about making lemonade out of lemons, but Rice turns it into a buoyant song celebrating the resiliency and joy of the human spirit. "What a Heart is Beating For," the title song, soars and swells as the music underscores the poignancy of the lyrics. Rice says, "It says just take a deep breath and throw open the door, that's what the heart is beating for, you are alive and your heart is beating so you can take these risks."

Well known for such hits as "Deep Enough to Dream," "Clumsy," and "Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)," Rice has built a solid career penning literate, colorful lyrics then bringing them to life with his warm, compelling voice. Rice's last album found him delving deeper into matters of the heart. What emerged was a surprisingly romantic soul with the ability to write songs that made women sigh and men smile knowingly.

INO Records launched in April 1999, designed to create 'independently minded' artist-label partnerships and has a strategic marketing and distribution arrangement with Columbia Records/SonyBMG. Other artists on the label include: Mercy Me, POD, Skillet and Mike Farris.

American Idol Alum Mandisa's Debut True Beauty Hits Today Amid Rave Reviews and Appearances

American Idol Alum Mandisa's Debut True Beauty Hits Today Amid Rave Reviews and Appearances

Artist's Debut Ties in with Ongoing Campaign for Positive Self-Image

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Just over a year ago Mandisa shot to instant fame when millions of TV viewers across the nation were captivated by her winning smile and powerhouse vocals as she sang her way into the final rounds of "American Idol's" fifth season. Today everyone can hear Mandisa again as her debut project, TRUE BEAUTY, releases nationwide.

(Photo:

http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070731/CLTU117 )

"Mandisa is powerful and has tremendous breath and pitch control, and there's no reason that woman should be working as anything other than a singer," Daily Variety associate editor Phil Gallo told USA Today after watching Mandisa's performances on "Idol."

Working as a singer is indeed what has happened, and whether recognizing her "Bold, Natural Talent," (US) her "considerable pipes" (Entertainment Weekly), her "passion and musical aplomb" (San Francisco Chronicle), her "Effervescent gospel-pop" (USA Today) or giving her 3 out of 4 stars (People), critics agree on one thing: this girl can sing!

Kicking off a string of promotional appearances, that included The Today Show, Mandisa performed her hit number one single "Only the World" last Friday on LIVE! With Regis & Kelly. Mandisa's return trip to the program was coupled with a first for the long running talk show, for the first time LIVE! With Regis & Kelly offered viewers a free digital download on their website from an artist performing on the show. Viewers and fans were able to download the title track "True Beauty" for free four days before the album released. With the release of TRUE BEAUTY, Mandisa fans will finally get what they've been waiting for: a full-length project that, to no one's surprise, packs a pretty powerful punch. A collection of funky rhythms, gospel-tinged melodies and pure pop power ballads, True Beauty reflects a versatility that few vocalists possess, and Mandisa delivers the goods with an unaffected ease.

Showcasing Mandisa's stylistic range was the task set before the five sets of producers who lined up to work with her on the album-top-notch names like Shaun Shankel (Beyonce, Natalie Grant); Brown Bannister (Amy Grant); Christopher Stevens (TobyMac); Drew Ramsey and Shannon Sanders (India.Arie, Johnny Lang); and Double Dutch, the team of Robert Marvin and Josiah Bell (Matt Kearney, Matt Redman). Mandisa also spent personal time with the album's writers before the songwriting process began, sharing her vision for the project and what she hoped to communicate through the songs. The end result is a seamless flow of tracks that create a diverse landscape for messages of hope, inspiration and faith.

The album's bouncy title track, which she co-wrote with producer Drew Ramsey and singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan, defines an essential theme in Mandisa's own terms: "Visions of perfection/Such a misconception/'Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can see. "It's all about the fact that our view of beauty should not be built around our outside. An unfading beauty comes from a gentle and quiet spirit," Mandisa explains. "I really believe that someone can have an inward beauty that shines so much that it makes them

even more beautiful on the outside. We chose this as the album's title because this is such an important message to me."

"Only the World" is the album's funky, energetic first single, which has already spent five consecutive weeks on Billboard's Top Single Sales chart, and is currently #5 on the Christian AC radio chart, receiving over 16 million audience impressions. Written by Matthew West, Sam Mizell and Clint Lagerberg, it captures Mandisa's joyful spirit well. "We all have difficult days we wish we didn't have to go through, but it gives you so much peace and joy when you realize that it's only the world we're living in, and one day we're going to go to a much better place," she says of the song's theme. "This song makes me want to roll down the window, turn up the volume, throw my hands up and just have fun!"

The desire to live free of society's expectations sits at the heart of the messages interwoven throughout True Beauty. Issues of self-esteem and self- worth are front-and-center among those that most young women struggle with today, and Mandisa admits she is no different. "My struggle with my weight has been the biggest struggle of my life. Rather than turning to alcohol or drugs when I was going through emotional times, I turned to food. As a result, I've become unhealthy-and it's a day-to-day process to overcome.

"On the flip side, we as women are not defined by the way we look, even though society would tell us otherwise by what we see in music videos, magazine covers and beauty pageants," Mandisa continues. "They give us this unattainable standard of beauty that doesn't really exist. It's amazing how the self-esteem of young girls is so low right now because of what society is feeding them, and I really do hope that America is waking up to the importance of that issue. If we really understood that our value is not based on how we look, but in who we are as people-I really think we would be much more free."

"More than just a career, I really want to have a ministry that has an impact on people. I just want to follow through with what is in my heart. I never want to look back and wonder, 'What would have happened if ....'"

NYC & Company and WNBC's Perri Peltz Find Southern Charm in New York City

NYC & Company and WNBC's Perri Peltz Find Southern Charm in New York City

-Southern Culture and Cuisine Featured on NYC Visit News Segment-

NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, July 27, NYC & Company's Fred Dixon and News 4 You anchor Perri Peltz tracked down some classic Southern traditions right in the heart of New York City. NYC & Company-the city's marketing and tourism organization-had several suggestions on where to find the best Southern food, clothing and music in the five boroughs.

"New York City is known for being diverse, with an eclectic mix of people from around the world," said Dixon. "With so many ethnicities and nationalities, the Southern culture can get overlooked, but the truth is food, traditions and music from across the South can be found on almost any block."

Last week, NYC Visit featured two delectable Southern-themed restaurants- Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Duke's NYC-along with cultural attractions, Rockin' the River Cruises and Billy Martin's USA. These destinations highlight the variety of Southern traditions available to New Yorkers and visitors.

"This segment really allowed our viewers to get an idea of the many Southern attractions available to them in New York City," said host Perri Peltz. "Visitors can familiarize themselves with Southern customs, including, food, music and even traditional clothing. The array of things to see and do throughout the boroughs is outstanding, and it really helps inform and educate."

With locations in the Gramercy Park and Murray Hill neighborhoods, Duke's NYC serves traditional Southern comfort food. With the baseball season in full swing and football right around the corner, Duke's also has multiple plasma screens so patrons can watch several games with friends and families.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que opened its doors in Harlem in December 2004. Known for its delicious Bar-B-Que, Dinosaur also has live music performances from Southern-influenced artists like Karlus Trapp and Blue River.

The Rockin' the River Cruises offer passengers a scenic boat ride along the Hudson River with toe-tapping Southern music. Take in the gorgeous New York City skyline while enjoying the sounds of Southern rockers like the Old 97s, Roomful of Blues and the John Popper Project-led by former Blues Traveler frontman John Popper.

For 27 years, Billy Martin's USA has specialized in authentic clothing from the South and West, including Cowboy boots, belt buckles and home furnishings. Billy Martin's recently opened a New York City store located on the Upper East Side.

Comedians Dave Attell and Scott Kennedy Brought Laughter to Troops on USO Tour to the Persian Gulf

Comedians Dave Attell and Scott Kennedy Brought Laughter to Troops on USO Tour to the Persian Gulf

ARLINGTON, Va., July 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Stand-up comedians Dave Attell and Scott Kennedy performed last week for troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region. The tour was sponsored by the USO and the Multi National Corps -- Iraq.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031119/USO )

This was the third USO tour for Attell and Kennedy, who performed together for troops in the United States, Netherlands Antilles, Ecuador, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Iraq in 2005 and 2006. Most recently, the duo performed for troops in Honduras.

Touched personally by their USO experiences overseas, the duo united to meet with service members, sign autographs and bring comic relief to troops abroad.

"All jokes aside, it is an honor to be a part of USO tours," says Attell. "Meeting with troops, listening to their stories and making them laugh is the least I can do considering that they are putting their lives on the line for America everyday."

Named one of the "25 Funniest People in America" by Entertainment Weekly, Attell is the host of Comedy Central's "Insomniac with Dave Attell." He makes regular appearances at the Comedy Cellar in New York City and has made numerous appearances on such shows as "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

Texas native Kennedy has performed stand-up comedy for 18 years and is a regular headliner at Harrah's in Las Vegas performing to sold-out crowds. Listed as one of the "Top 100 Comics of All Time," Kennedy has been showcased on Comedy Central Presents and has made appearances on "Last Comic Standing," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Good Morning America."

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, there are currently 1.4 million active-duty U.S. service members and 1.2 million members of the National Guard and Reserves, with many serving overseas. USO entertainment tours are essential to fulfilling the USO's mission of boosting troop morale to service members stationed far from home. Entertainers who recently participated in USO tours include Chely Wright, Gary Sinise and Toby Keith.

AT&T, Inc. is the official telecommunications sponsor of USO entertainment tours. For a list of recent and upcoming USO tours, visit http://www.uso.org/whatwedo/entertainment/.

To find out how to support the troops, visit http://www.uso.org/.

About the USO

For more than 66 years, the USO (United Service Organizations) has been providing morale, welfare and recreational services to U.S. military personnel and their families. The USO is a nonprofit, charitable organization, relying on the generosity of the American people to support its programs and services. The USO is supported by Worldwide Strategic Partners AT&T Inc., BAE Systems North America, Clear Channel Communications, The Coca-Cola Company, DRS Technologies, Inc., Military Channel, S & K Sales Co., TriWest Healthcare Alliance and The Walt Disney Company.

Close Up TV News Recognizes Dr. Rao Ballem MD for his Continued Commitment to Innovation in General Surgery

Close Up TV News Recognizes Dr. Rao Ballem MD for his Continued Commitment to Innovation in General Surgery

GLEN RIDGE, N.J., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Close Up TV News recognizes Dr. Rao Ballem MD for his continued commitment to innovation in general surgery.

For over 25 years Dr. Ballem (http://www.breastcarecenter.com/) has promoted the use of new techniques and technologies at his general surgery practice, where he treats hernias, varicose veins and other problems involving the colon, stomach and breast. By passing on the benefits of these innovations to his patients Dr. Ballem has become one of New Jersey's most highly regarded surgeons.

20 million people in this country suffer from gall bladder related diseases. In 1990, Dr. Ballem was one of the first surgeons in New Jersey to perform laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. He has since completed over 5,000 more successful laparoscopic operations.

"In the past we used to make a big incision," explains Dr. Ballem. "Laparoscopy Surgery eliminates the need to open an abdominal cavity. Now we can go through the belly button using three tiny incisions and remove the gall bladder. This yields more cosmetically acceptable results with less pain and less recovery time."

This is true of nearly all the procedures Dr. Ballem performs, which also include minimal access surgery to remove breast lumps. Dr. Ballem's is the only practice in the state that uses a stereotactic technology called a SiteSelect, which allows the removal of a tumor mass without removing any of the non-affected breast tissue. Dr. Ballem has also introduced the Trivex system, a new treatment for varicose veins that improves the visualization of diseased vessels on the legs, making it easier to remove them and reducing the operating time.

"We've always tried to stay on top of the cutting edge technology," says Dr. Ballem. "When you use minimally invasive techniques patients are very pleased and these techniques are more effective, more accurate."

Close-Up TV News (http://www.closeuptvnews.com/) produces Close-Up on America's Business, the premier news magazine television program spotlighting the country's most successful businesses.

Florida Consumers in Venice and Osprey Can Start Enjoying the FiOS Fiber Advantage

Florida Consumers in Venice and Osprey Can Start Enjoying the FiOS Fiber Advantage

First Opportunity for Consumers in South Sarasota County to Order Verizon's FiOS; Now Available to 6,600 Households Here, With Nearly 4,000 More Projected to Be FiOS-Capable by Year-End

SARASOTA, Fla., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The curiosity Venice area consumers have expressed about Verizon's FiOS service can now be satisfied as the company announced the first availability of its fiber-powered voice, Internet and TV offerings to 6,600 households in parts of Venice and Osprey. The triple-play bundles are delivered over Verizon's all-fiber network, directly to people's homes and businesses.

Approximately 3,000 households in each community can now order the full suite of FiOS services. The total is projected to grow to more than 10,000 households in Venice and Osprey by year end as Verizon completes the necessary construction and engineering activities to expand availability. While FiOS has been available to other areas largely in the middle and northern portions of Sarasota County, today's announcement marks the first expansion into the southern portion.

"We first started deploying fiber in the Venice area in January, and after just seven months, we are now rolling out FiOS to parts of the community, with more to follow soon," said John Ferrell, Verizon's senior vice president and general manager for the Southeast region. "This community has been eager to provide the fiber service for its residents and to give them an alternative to old-fashioned cable. Today marks the beginning of a new, better way to enjoy TV, Internet and voice service for Venice and Osprey residents."

To date, Verizon has deployed 6.3 million feet of fiber in Sarasota County and 51 million feet of fiber in its Florida service territory. More than 520,000 households in Hillsborough, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee and northern Pinellas counties can now order one or more of the FiOS services.

Verizon, providing FiOS services on the nation's most advanced digital all-fiber-optic network, recently had its FiOS Internet service named a winner of PC World Magazine's 100 Best Products of 2007 Awards. The only Internet service to make the prestigious list, Verizon FiOS Internet was ranked fourth on the magazine's roster of what it calls "the finest products and services of the past 12 months," which were selected "based on exemplary design, features, performance and innovation." Additionally, only Verizon's network has earned the certification of the independent Fiber to the Home Council for providing fiber all the way to customers' homes.

Consumers can check online at www.verizon.com/fiostv to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV is available. To order FiOS TV, consumers can call their local Verizon sales office or 1-877-4-FIOS-TV (1-877-434-6788).

Service Highlights

Verizon's FiOS TV Premier package delivers more than 200 all-digital channels for $42.99 per month. All Tampa Bay-area customers have access to 29 high-definition (HD) channels and more than 8,600 on-demand titles, 60 percent of which are free. Verizon offers three set-top boxes: standard definition for $4.99 per month; high definition, which includes HD channels, for $9.99 per month; and a dual-tuner, HD-capable digital video recorder for $12.99 per month.

Verizon also offers innovative features not available from other providers, such as Home Media DVR (digital video recorder) and FiOS TV Widgets. Home Media DVR, at $19.99 per month, has a multi-room DVR feature enabling up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. Customers also can access photos and music on their PCs and play them on their TV. FiOS TV Widgets is a free interactive feature that provides viewers with local weather and traffic information while they're watching their favorite shows.

Currently, Verizon is also offering triple- and double-play bundles built around its FiOS service. The lineup for Verizon FiOS bundles in Florida is:

Triple plays
-- 20/5 Mbps (megabits per second) FiOS Internet service, FiOS TV Premier
and Freedom Essentials voice - $109.99 per month.

-- 10/2 Mbps FiOS Internet service, FiOS TV Premier and Freedom
Essentials voice - $99.99 per month.

Double plays
-- 20/5 Mbps FiOS Internet service and Freedom Essentials voice - $69.99
per month.

-- 10/2 Mbps FiOS Internet service and Freedom Essentials voice - $59.99
per month.

"Our all-fiber-optic network delivers a superior customer experience today, and has an abundance of bandwidth for the exciting services we'll offer in the future," said Ferrell. "We also believe our bundled services offer both a great price and great value right now."

Verizon will bring FiOS TV in 2007 and beyond to additional communities in the six-county west central Florida area. The Florida legislature recently passed the Consumer Choice Act of 2007, which was signed into law May 18 by Gov. Charlie Crist. Verizon has already received approval for its initial franchise application with the state, enabling it to serve 77,000 households where it previously did not have franchise rights. Future additions to this application will speed approvals in cities and counties where Verizon currently does not have a franchise.

In addition to Florida, Verizon currently offers FiOS TV in parts of California, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.

Fiber 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. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps as well as high-quality voice service.*

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24x7 technical assistance by phone from its specialized Fiber Solutions Centers.

Teen Photographer Sues Pornographers Over Unauthorized Use of Image

Teen Photographer Sues Pornographers Over Unauthorized Use of Image

TAMPA, Fla., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Teenaged photographer Lara Jade Coton never expected one of her photos to turn up on the cover of a pornographic movie. She certainly never expected to see a picture of herself on such a movie. But that is exactly what Lara Jade found when she discovered that an innocent self-portrait, taken when she was only 14 years old, was obtained off the Internet and used without permission as the DVD cover and face art for the sexually explicit movie "Body Magic."

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070731/CLTU106 )

"I was absolutely horrified to see my work and my own picture being used on that kind of movie," said Lara Jade. "It's just appalling."

What's even more appalling, according to Lara Jade's attorney, is the way she was treated when she contacted TVX Films of Texas and asked them to stop using her picture. Richard A. Harrison, attorney with Tampa-based Allen Dell P.A., said the company responded first by ridiculing the young woman, then by accusing her of trying to perpetrate some kind of scam. "Adding insult to injury," Harrison says, "the company had the audacity to blame Lara Jade for the disappointing sales of its porn movie."

Bob Burge, president of TVX Films, told Lara Jade in an email, "Actually, removing your image will help improve the sale of the DVD. So far it bombed."

In a lawsuit filed today in federal court in Tampa, Florida, Lara Jade accuses Burge and TVX Films of copyright infringement, civil conspiracy, misappropriation of her image, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The suit also names other online retailers of the movie in claims for copyright infringement.

"We're asking a jury to award damages, including punitive damages, for the outrageous conduct of Burge and TVX," Harrison said. "We're also asking the court to stop these pornographers from using the picture and to impound any copies of the movie or other materials on which Lara Jade's picture appears."

Harrison is also consulting with state and federal law enforcement agencies. "If it's not a crime to put a 14-year-old child on the cover of a porn video, it sure ought to be," he said.

The case demonstrates a dilemma facing artists today and reveals yet another danger of the Internet for teens and children. While the Internet offers creative people a worldwide outlet for their work, it's also common for artists to find that their work has been borrowed innocently or just plain stolen by others.

For parents, the case demonstrates how easily children can become victimized in the age of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. "This amazing technology allows us all to share our photos with friends and loved ones, but parents must realize that any picture a child puts on the Internet is about three mouse clicks away from being stolen by anybody," Harrison warned. "And as this case shows, it could be used for anything, including pornography."

Lara Jade Coton is an 18 year old photographer and college student who resides in England. She took up photography at the age of 14 and also works in photo manipulation and digital art. Her work can be seen at http://www.larajade.com/ .

NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Corn Field in Times Square -- Korn announced today that they will be joining the effort to tour green by fueling all their vehicles with bio-diesel. This effort will lessen their environmental impact on this year's Family Values Tour by using domestically produced bio-fuels in all 16 of their touring vehicles. The band is working with Music Matters' SMART (Sustainable Minded Artists Recording Touring) program and Conserv Fuel to fuel their vehicles with domestically produced bio-fuel which can be derived from a variety of plant based matter including; soy, corn, and various other vegetable and animal oils. Korn is using bio- diesel for their biofuel needs which will reduce the CO2 emissions that tour produces by almost 50 tons. "We can't save the planet overnight but this is our way of saying everyone has to start somewhere. As a touring band it's our responsibility to start making a difference. We encourage all other bands touring this summer to do the same," said Jonathan Davis.

In an effort to get the word out about alternative fuels, Korn will be launching their own brand of bio-fuel. The soon to be officially revealed recipe will be called Korntastic and more information will be available at http://www.korntastic.com/.

In another Korn first, soldiers on leave will be invited as Korn's guests to the Family Values Tour all over the country. In a partnership with the USO World Headquarters, tickets will be given free of charge to soldiers on leave in each local stop of this year's Family Values Tour. Distribution will be handled by the USO World Headquarters in conjunction with local bases.

Korn's eighth studio album will be released by Virgin Records on Tuesday, July 31st. The untitled album features the hit single, "Evolution". In celebration of the release, Korn will play a free show for fans at the South Street Seaport's Pier 17 at 6pm. The event which is sponsored by J&R Music and Computer World will be free to fans and will be followed by a signing event back at the J&R store on 23 Park Row.

Florida Consumers in Palmetto and Palma Sola Invited to Speed Up With Verizon's FiOS Service

Florida Consumers in Palmetto and Palma Sola Invited to Speed Up With Verizon's FiOS Service

2,700 Households in Northwestern Manatee County Communities Can Now Experience the Fiber Advantage for Internet, TV and Voice

BRADENTON, Fla., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The FiOS footprint in Manatee County expanded today by 3,300 households as Verizon began offering its triple-play bundles of Internet, TV and unlimited voice service in Palmetto and Palma Sola. The FiOS bundles are delivered over Verizon's all-fiber network, directly to people's homes and businesses.

Initially, the majority of the households eligible for FiOS will be in Palmetto. Verizon is projecting that 4,000 more households will be open for service by year-end, with about half of those in the Palma Sola community, as Verizon completes the necessary construction and engineering activities to expand availability. While FiOS has been available to other areas largely in the middle and southern portions of Manatee County, today's announcement marks the first expansion into northwestern parts of the county.

"Consumers in Palmetto and Palma Sola are really going to enjoy having the option of choosing the fiber advantage for their TV, Internet and voice needs," said John Ferrell, Verizon's senior vice president and general manager for the Southeast region. "Existing customers routinely tell us that FiOS is a superior product that puts them at the leading edge of technology, right in their home. We now offer FiOS to a wide area in Manatee County and are working as fast as possible to broaden that availability even more in the months ahead."

To date, Verizon has deployed over 8.85 million feet of fiber in Manatee County and 51 million feet of fiber in its Florida service territory. More than 520,000 households in Hillsborough, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee and northern Pinellas counties can now order one or more of the FiOS services.
