CNBC Wraps Up Extensive Media Coverage of Midwest Crop Tour

CNBC Wraps Up Extensive Media Coverage of Midwest Crop Tour

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2012 Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour garnered unprecedented coverage, with all eyes on the impact of the historic drought.

On CNBC's "Squawk Box" this morning, Pro Farmer Editor Chip Flory was interviewed on how Hurricane Isaac might further impact the already battered crop. CNBC newscaster Becky Quick asked whether predicted Midwest rains could improve the production outlook. Flory commented, "[It's] way too late for a lot of the crops. The drought has done all of the damage it's going to do." He added, "Rain and wind are actually the worst possible thing [...] a little bit of wind is going to blow it [corn] over." The full "Squawk Box" interview is posted on CNBC's website.

The Wall Street Journal covered the 2012 Crop Tour online and also four times in print. Other national media that followed the Crop Tour included Bloomberg, Fox Business, Dow Jones, the Chicago Tribune, Reuters and the Drudge Report.

Across radio, television, online and newspapers, more than 55 news organizations carried Crop Tour news. Farm Journal's own AgDay Television reported daily from both the Eastern and Western legs of the Tour. U.S. Farm Report crews covered the finale event at a Ritchie Brothers auction site near Minneapolis, Minn., with a live roundtable discussion on Crop Tour findings.

Farm Journal's web portal, AgWeb.com, saw near-record traffic on its dedicated section of news, field reports and video reports.

The Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour included more than 100 scouts traveling approximately 20 routes daily across a seven-state area of the Midwest last week. The volunteer scouts represented all sectors of agriculture -- including farmers, grain buyers, business, media, government, and financial firms -- and included people from four continents.

This year's Crop Tour attracted a record 2,600 attendees. Supporting sponsors included DuPont Pioneer, SFP, RCIS, Farm Credit Services of America, Chevy Truck and Gavilon.

SYNOPSIS

Three-time Oscar(®)-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone returns to the screen with the ferocious thriller Savages, based on Don Winslow's bestselling crime novel, one of The New York Times' Top 10 Books of 2010. Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch) raise and sell some of the best marijuana ever developed, while sharing a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Blake Lively). Their idyllic life is shattered when the Mexican Baja Cartel demands that the trio partner with them. But the cartel's merciless boss, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bonds among these three friends. Ben and Chon--with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta)--launch a seemingly unwinnable war against the drug lords that escalates into a savage, high-stakes battle of wills.

Aflac Scores With New Commercial Highlighting Heisman Trophy Sponsorship

Aflac Scores With New Commercial Highlighting Heisman Trophy Sponsorship

COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating the kickoff of college football season, Aflac (NYSE: AFL), the No. 1 provider of supplemental and guaranteed-renewable insurance in the United States, today announced the release of a new television commercial to promote its second year as official sponsor of the Heisman Trophy and Aflac's role of paying cash benefits to policyholders who are sick or hurt. The ad, titled "Heisman Rushing," will debut on September 1 and focuses on the many common attributes of Aflac and the Heisman Trophy, including passion, pride, perseverance and commitment.

"We are proud to launch a new television commercial with the iconic Aflac Duck to celebrate another exciting college football season and promote our sponsorship of this coveted award that holds the same values and spirit of excellence as we do," said Michael Zuna, Aflac executive vice president, and chief marketing and sales officer. "Fans of the Heisman Trophy and college football have limitless passion for the sport, the same passion our Aflac agents have for helping people get back in the game of life by delivering a safety net for policyholders so they can focus on recovery, not financial stress."

"Heisman Rushing"shows the Aflac Duck doing what he does best -- rushing to get an injured policyholder cash benefits so he has the security needed to pay for other costs due to his accident. And like the duck, Aflac gets benefits to policyholders fast by processing claims in an average of four days.

Aflac's multiyear partnership with Heisman allows the company to deepen its connection to college football, where fans already watch for Aflac Trivia during game broadcasts. The company also offers an array of exclusive, Heisman-themed experiences to accounts and brokers throughout the season and beyond.

This new ad is the 55th television commercial to feature the Aflac Duck and will be extended through digital elements and social media. The ad debuts Saturday, September 1(st) during football broadcasts on stations nationwide. "Heisman Rushing"was created by the Kaplan Thaler Group, part of the Publicis family.

To view "Heisman Rushing," go to youtube.com/aflac.

"We couldn't be more excited about partnering with a legend like Prince," said Van Jones, Co-founder and President of Rebuild the Dream. "Our economic system is broken. Rebuild the Dream exists to unite arts and organize into a potent force to support the Dreams of Our Communities. There are few artists who have Prince's unwavering commitment to a vision of a sustainable, fair economic future."

Rebuild the Dream is a platform for bottom-up, people-powered innovations to help fix the economy not just here in the U.S. but Globally as well. Using 21st-century digital technology, we advance highly inventive solutions that are designed to protect and expand our communities, while creating pathways to prosperity for those who are locked out of it.

RTG Ventures Announces 3-month Moratorium On Issuance Of Common Shares

RTG Ventures Announces 3-month Moratorium On Issuance Of Common Shares

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 21, 2012 RTG Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: RTGV) Board of Directors issued a moratorium on the issuance of any common shares for three months in order to attract value based investors and identify partnerships with like-minded entities. The Board believes this action will address the undervalued share price and is a key component in an overall plan to limit short term market tactics which do not serve the objectives of building a sustainable business and increasing shareholder value.

Reggie James, SVP Marketing Communications said, "As cited in the recent Letter To Shareholders (http://bit.ly/LwhMTH) and subsequent PRs, the public market continues to struggle with the valuation of digital media technology businesses. Recent valuations of Facebook, Groupon, Zynga and others illustrate that while private company investors understand the dynamics of building Company fundamentals, the public market remains short-term oriented and can't make up its mind what to measure. So the dialogue continues. As a result, the valuations range from a multiple of earnings, such as: Groupon x12, Google x14, Facebook x31, Linked-In x79 and Amazon x100. Using price: earnings ratio, Facebook x69, while Linked-In x852. By comparison, the market average for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is about 16. In the manufacturing model, one valuation number was the criteria, not a range."

James added, "RTG is applying core values to building a 21st century digital media technology business. That strategy was reinforced in a recent article in the WSJ, in which new Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer has ordered that the daily stock quote be removed from the Company's internal website and 'to focus on users'. Another recent article in the NY Times entitled, 'When the Network Effect Goes Into Reverse ' on August 17, 2012, stated: 'Growth, not profit is what matters at the early stage in the life of Internet business."

RTG continues to share industry information as it evolves in order to provide shareholders the context of the business which is long-term and value based. The whole divergence in valuation within the industry supports RTG's buyout approach of Brand Entertain in mid-June. Valuing the venture, with several individual platforms in a year's time, will be based on results, not projections and will ensure shareholder value. The Business Plan continues to be executed, with its business development initiatives, in conjunction with its partner, Brand Entertain.

U.S. Forest Service and Ad Council Collaborate with Universal Pictures and Project Learning Tree to Produce New Educational Curriculum Featuring Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

U.S. Forest Service and Ad Council Collaborate with Universal Pictures and Project Learning Tree to Produce New Educational Curriculum Featuring Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As a part of an ongoing campaign encouraging children to spend more time outdoors and reconnect with nature, the U.S. Forest Service and the Ad Council have teamed up with Universal Pictures and Project Learning Tree to create an educational curriculum for the Discover the Forest Public Service Advertising campaign featuring Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.

The curriculum, available on the Discover the Forest website, www.discovertheforest.org/lorax, features newly designed content and materials for the classroom and families, broken down into two sets of educational kits. With the support of Universal Pictures, all of the content features characters and imagery from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, an animated adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope and "speaks for the trees." As advocates for forest conservation, the Lorax and his fellow forest friends are the ideal characters to encourage children to explore and enjoy nature everywhere.

Teachers may download a complete classroom guide or six individual activities that feature hands-on lesson plans developed by Project Learning Tree. Parents, mentors, camp counselors and families may download six additional activities to use with children that emphasize information about plant and animal development and the benefits of forests. Interactive activities allow children to learn about ecosystems, sustainable management of natural resources, planting trees and much more.

"This public-private partnership is an example of how we can collectively reach the minds and hearts of our children," said Safiya Samman, director of the U.S. Forest Service Conservation Education program. "By engaging them with an indomitable character whose love for nature as his guiding principle, we can connect children to the land and help them identify their role as land stewards."

Initially launched in 2009, the Discover the Forest campaign aims to instill a life-long love for nature in children and to encourage children and their families to experience everything that nature has to offer. As a part of this effort, the campaign launched a series of public service advertisements (PSAs) in December 2012 featuring The Lorax that were produced in English and Spanish for television, radio and outdoor billboards. The ads were distributed to approximately 33,000 media outlets nationwide and will air and run in advertising time and space donated by the media. Since the campaign's inception, media outlets have donated more than $97.3 million in time and space for the Discover the Forest campaign.

According to the U.S. Forest Service, more than 245 million Americans live within 100 miles from a national forest or grassland. However, children in the U.S. spend 50 percent less time outdoors than they did 20 years ago, according to the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Research shows that children who play outside have lower stress levels and more active imaginations, become fitter and leaner, develop stronger immune systems and are more likely to become environmentally conscious in the future.

The new educational resources are in addition to the campaign's current educational curriculum, available at www.FindingMyForest.org, that aims to connect students and educators to the forested areas near them.

Once in a Blue Moon: 'Knight Rider' Car Hire and the UK's Oldest Shop

Once in a Blue Moon: 'Knight Rider' Car Hire and the UK's Oldest Shop

LONDON, August 31, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

http://BusinessesForSale.com believes a rare lunar event happening tonight is the
perfect time to consider some once-in-a-blue-moon business opportunities.



Friday 31 August marks the rise of a 'blue moon', a phenomenon occurring roughly once
every two-and-a-half years where a full moon arises twice in a calendar month.



Folklore has for thousands of years linked full moons to crime, fertility and, of
course, werewolves, but BusinessesForSale.com expects a surge in traffic to the section
dedicated to eccentric or bizarre business opportunities.



Currently on the world's leading directory of businesses for sale is a business which
hires out a replica of the car featured in the hit 1980s series Knight Rider. Counting
David Hasselhoff and The X Factor's Louis Walsh among its clients, the car - called Kitt -
is yours for just GBP29,500.



Perhaps the lunar landmark will awaken ghosts at the 500-year old shop for sale in
Kent. An interview with the current owner of the UK's oldest shop is available on
BusinessesForSale.com.



Andrew Markou, co-founder and technical director of Dynamis, the online media group
behind BusinessesForSale.com, says: "The timing of the blue moon is appropriate. The
arrival of autumn is often one of those once-in-a-blue moon moments for reflection and
taking life-changing decisions.



"With the ranks of the self-employed swelling this year, there's a growing appetite to
avoid a challenging job market or escape corporate life. Whether it's an unusual business
like the online astrology chat-room currently on sale, or a conventional business like a
pub or post office, countless people will take this opportunity to buy a business and
transform their life."



About BusinessesForSale.com



BusinessesForSale.com [http://www.businessesforsale.com ] is the world's largest
website for buying and selling businesses online with more than 60,000 business listings

Western Viewers Fall Behind in the Web-connected TV Revolution

Western Viewers Fall Behind in the Web-connected TV Revolution

NUREMBERG, Germany, August 31, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

People in markets such as China, Brazil and India better exploit the opportunities
offered by web-connected television, compared to countries such as the UK, US and Germany.
This is according to research carried out across thirteen countries by GfK's consumer
research experts. The study found that western consumers are stuck in an 'analogue'
mindset, whereas viewers in emerging markets are more likely to embrace the digital
capabilities of Connected TV.



GfK research shows that a far higher proportion of Chinese, Korean and Indian
consumers have used the functionalities of Smart TV in the past months, compared to those
in Western markets.




Connected TV usage:

China 44%
S. Korea 18%
India 17%
Brazil 14%
Turkey 13%
UK 11%
USA 11%
Mexico 11%
Spain 8%
Germany 8%
Belgium 6%
Russia 5%
Netherlands 5%




GfK's findings show that 'Social TV' has yet to fully take-off. Globally, just 28% of
viewers said that they found programmes that they can interact with to be more interesting
to watch. And just 25% thought that tweeting and commenting on programmes 'enhances the
viewing experience'.



Viewers in countries such as China, Brazil and India are more motivated by programmes
they can interact with than those in markets such as the UK, US and Germany[1].



Richard Preedy, at GfK, said: "Our findings suggest that broadcasters need to
integrate their social elements far more engagingly into the fabric of the programme, in
order to entice the viewer's interaction."



Across all markets, the ability to connect to the internet is less important than
price, screen size and display technology, when buying a new TV. But the West is more
indifferent than the emerging markets, with only 26% of UK and 29% of US consumers saying
they look out for a net enabled set, compared to 61% in India and 64% in China.

Pace Picks up Speed in Indian Cable Market

Pace Picks up Speed in Indian Cable Market

SALTAIRE, England, August 31, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Indian cable operators, DDC, Faction and KCL, select Pace pre-integrated


software and set-top box solution to support digital service rollout



Pace plc today announced that its pre-integrated software, conditional access and
set-top box solution has been selected by three Indian cable operators, Delhi Distribution
Company (DDC), Faction Digital, and New Delhi and Kozhikode Cablecommunicators Ltd.(KCL),
Calicut, to support their move to digital services. Pace has designed its pre-integrated
solution to provide a cost-effective alternative to operators who need a high quality
payTV platform but don't have the time or infrastructure to manage multiple technology
partners or complex systems integration work.



Pace's pre-integrated solution incorporates Pace's Tungsten device software and
Titanium Conditional Access System (CAS) as standard on a Standard Definition (SD) or High
Definition (HD) set-top box. The Indian version of the solution includes a Pace
India-developed user interface (UI) created specifically for local consumer browsing
preferences in terms of colour and design, including a button on the box itself so that
users can operate all functions if their remote control is missing or out of action.



India is currently in the first phase of a government-mandated transition to digital
TV services, with full switchover required in 2015. DDC, Faction and KCL have selected the
Pace solution to enable swift rollout of digital services to their customers as part of
this process, which will see 80 million Indian households transitioned to digital services
by the deadline. The solution's design allows the operators to quickly deploy digital
services to customers via an SD set-top box, and then add PVR capabilities or additional
services in the field over time, if and when their requirements change.



Shane McCarthy, President of Pace International, said: "Pace aims to offer operators
as many options as possible. The cost and time pressures for Indian operators are huge,
and working with multiple partners to develop, integrate and deliver their service
platform is not a realistic option.



"We have developed our pre-integrated solution to make operators' lives easier by
giving them the option of a single source for their software, hardware and CAS. It
provides DDC, Faction and KCL with a straightforward and cost-effective way of moving
their subscribers to digital, while maintaining the high quality that customers have come
to expect from Pace. This not only delivers up-front but also keeps customers' longer-term
costs down."



About Pace plc



Pace (LSE: PIC) creates technologies, software, hardware and services for the
broadcast and broadband industries. Pace solutions empower cable, telco and satellite
operators to simply and cost-effectively innovate at the speed they want, in the way they
want for their subscribers. Pace has built up its experience and expertise over 30 years
and this is recognized by a customer base of over 160 operators around the globe.

HABU? music for iPhone & iPad Launches in Europe

HABU? music for iPhone & iPad Launches in Europe







- New App Lets Music Lovers Create Playlists and Discover Music to Match Their Every Mood?Free for the First Week of Release



BERLIN, Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Mobile? today released HABU music in Europe with support for English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Italian languages. HABU is an App for iPhone and iPad that takes just one-touch to create killer playlists to match a user's every mood - happy, sad and everything in between. HABU dives deep to analyze a user's music library, delivering mood-based playlists and recommending similar songs to preview and purchase from iTunes. HABU is available in the App store for free during its first week of release - August 30-September 5.



HABU makes it easy to navigate expansive music collections, which for many have grown out of control with a typical music fan now having more than 7,000 songs. With even more choices today between iTunes, social networks, and old MP3s, curating playlists and organizing music has become much more daunting and frustrating than in the past.



HABU was developed to help solve the problem of massive music collections featuring technology from Gracenote® that organizes songs by 25 grouped moods and 100 granular mood characteristics. As HABU analyzes a user's music library, colorful circles grow and shrink on-screen to represent songs that fit a particular mood. A different mood map is created for each user, visualizing their music from "calm" to "energetic" and "dark" to "positive." The bigger, more vibrant the circles, the more songs they have of a particular mood in their music collection.



As users slide their fingers around their mood map, HABU instantly plays music that fits their mood. Need to get pumped up for the gym? Just tap "Euphoric/Energy" to play music to get the blood pumping. Get dumped by a significant other? Tap on "Strong/Stable" or "Party/Fun" to move on.



"We are thrilled to be launching HABU in Europe to let music fans discover new songs and learn more about their musical tastes," said Eric Allen, General Manager of Gravity Mobile. "Music can evoke memories and emotions. With HABU, music fans can personalize their collections according to how they feel throughout the day - letting them create the perfect playlists, view mood maps, and find new songs and rediscover old favorites."



HABU isn't your average recommendation engine either. Any song in a user's music library can be used to seed recommendations from the Cloud based on moods. If a HABU user is enjoying a playlist containing the song Set Fire To The Rain by Adele, they can use that song as a starting point to discover other songs with similar moods. When they find one they like, they can preview it before purchasing on iTunes. It's that simple.
