ATLANTA, GA, August 07, 2002 ¾ Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision® Systems has sold 18 amber LED transportable modules to Information & Display Systems, Inc. (IDS) of Jacksonville, FL. This marks the first major sale for the new Diamond Vision product. This screen debuted as an IBM-sponsored display at the Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon this past June.

IDS is one of the world’s leading providers of information and display technology for the sports industry. Because they are involved with over 25 sports around the world and are heavily involved with golf and tennis events, IDS needed a way to display large quantities of alphanumeric information and statistical content simultaneously. IDS turned to Diamond Visionâ, which provided them with a solution that surpassed their needs; the 6 mm amber display with Digital Screen Controller (DSC). Says David Lunghino, vice president of IDS, “IDS conceived the concept and Diamond Vision provided the R & D and the technology to build this innovative and custom display.”

The transportable module is a 6 mm amber LED display, and measures 7’6” x 15’ when modules are used in a 3 module high by 6 module wide configuration. The cabinets may be either hung or stacked, and have been designed and tested for outdoor use. This screen will be used to display graphics, animations, statistics, the schedule of play, scores and upcoming matches.

“The screen performed exceptionally well at Wimbledon. IBM and the Club were very pleased with the great success this screen had with the fans,” says Lunghino. “Even during the English rains at the tennis classic, the modules performed perfectly.”

The ultra high-resolution amber screen uses the DSC to accept separate feeds directly into a controller. This technology¾which is unique to Diamond Vision®¾allows IDS to interface their scoring and statistics software directly to the display. The controller enables them to deal with a large amount of statistical information and change the format, font sizes, and other content sources including graphics and animation, giving them greater range of flexibility. Most monochrome displays only have 256 gray levels, but the Diamond Vision amber display has 1024 levels of gray. Because this display has four times as many gray levels, it offers much higher contrast than any other screen in its class, and can show great detail in graphic images and photographs.

The viewing angles are 100 degrees horizontal and 45 degrees vertical, allowing anyone viewing the screen to have a clear view of the Diamond Visionâ display.

In the last two years, Mitsubishi Electric has installed 85 Diamond Visionâ screens for both advertising use and in collegiate and professional facilities. Recent installations include Yankee Stadium, Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium for the Denver Broncos, Bally’s Casino & Hotel on Las Vegas Boulevard, and an 11-screen display in New York City’s Times Square.

Mitsubishi Electric was the first company to introduce large-scale video display boards for the 1980 Major League Baseball All-Star game at Dodger Stadium. Today, Mitsubishi Electric’s flagship product is the Diamond Visionâ LEDERBOARD®, a full-color, LED display system that merges the company’s expertise in large-scale video displays with LED technology. The result is a stunning, high-resolution video image from a thinner, lighter, energy-efficient medium, with an amazing 170° horizontal viewing angle and a 1.5 times improved image resolution. Mitsubishi Electric’s Colorspace Conversion technology converts the chromaticity of each color of the LED display to more accurately reproduce the colors of the original image. Whether the audience is viewing a sporting event or a concert, the image they see on a Diamond Visionâ large-scale video display is as clear and true-to-life as the actual event they are watching.

Headquartered in Lawrenceville, GA, Diamond Visionâ is a division of Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of Japan. For more information about Diamond Visionâ, visit http://www.diamond-vision.com.

White Sox Open 2003 Season with an All Star in Center Field

Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision® Display Offers Fans Outstanding Game Images

NAB Booth: SL-1831 — April 8, 2003 — The Chicago White Sox opened their 2003 season with a versatile all star in center field: A new Diamond Vision LED scoreboard display. Created by Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision Systems, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) large-scale, video display measures 28 feet by 53 feet and features vivid colors and great viewing angles from nearly every seat in U.S. Cellular Field.

In addition to the main screen, Mitsubishi Electric also installed two 300-foot-long, five-foot-high video LED “ribbon” boards that will run along the facade of the ballpark’s upper deck. Those LEDs are the largest continuous video ribbon boards in Major League Baseball, and the highest-resolution video ribbons in professional sports. When synchronized with the center field display, the LED ribbon boards can layer graphics and scoring in real time over video, as well as import animations, text, video and graphic images.

“The White Sox wanted a video system that reflects the exciting, explosive team that we put on the field,” said Terry Savarise, White Sox vice president of stadium operations. “The upgrading of our scoreboard video and the addition of the LED boards give us the very latest in technology, and will be a great source of entertainment and information for fans.

“Also, because the White Sox are hosting the 2003 Major League Baseball All Star Game, it was critical to find a display that enhances the beauty of U.S. Cellular Field. We visited several stadiums across the country, and the Diamond Vision screen was clearly the best we saw,” Savarise added.

The Diamond Vision video display screen will be one of the highest-resolution screens in Major League Baseball, featuring 672 x 1280 dot density, jitter-free images and HDTV, and true wide-screen compatibility. Housing more than 1,680 LED modules with more than 860,000 color dots, the Diamond Vision screen can create more than one billion colors to present faithful reproduction of video images, seamless animations and spectacular viewing angles.

In the last two years, Mitsubishi Electric has installed more than 85 Diamond Vision screens for sports, entertainment and advertising use in premier venues across the country. Recent installations include the Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium for the Denver Broncos; Yankee Stadium; the new Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas; and an 11-screen display on Times Square in New York City. NBA/NHL facilities include Staples Center in Los Angeles, home of the Lakers and Kings; Conseco Fieldhouse, home of the NBA Indiana Pacers; The Palace at Auburn Hills, home of the NBA Detroit Pistons; and Philips Arena in Atlanta, home of the NHL Thrashers and NBA Hawks. Collegiate installations include Penn State University, Southern Methodist University, University of Kentucky, Texas Tech University, Brigham Young University, and University of Nebraska.

From the back cover:

Few places–other than Ground Zero itself—can more acutely mark before and after September 11 and November 12, 2001 than the Harbor Light, a neighborhood pub in Rockaway, located in the shadows of Manhattan’s skyscrapers.

-Before, you might meet regular customer, George Johnson, there. After, he’s one of the flag-raising firefighters in the now-famous photo reminiscent of the marines at Iwo Jima.

-Before, you might bump into Mike Moran. After, he’s the firefighter immortalized on a best-selling CD, who told a packed Madison Square Garden that Osama Bin Laden could “kiss his royal Irish ass.”

-Before, young stockbrokers would get a good-natured ribbing from their firefighting buddies for choosing the “safe” career path. After, you’d find they weren’t so safe after all.

-Before—in fact, just the night before—you might have seen Tommy Carroll and Danny Suhr yelling at the Giants as they were losing the season opener to the Denver Broncos. After, Tommy is the guy who got lucky. A fire company was short a man so he filled in. Had he stayed with his regular crew, he’d be dead—just like the rest of them. Truth is, he’s not so lucky. He can still hear the sound of humans hitting the ground from 100 stories above him. And Danny? He’s dead … killed by one of the jumpers.

-Before, you’d meet Pete Hayden, Deputy Chief FDNY, having a beer with his brother Jack, who moonlights behind the bar when he’s not fighting fires himself. After, you wouldn’t see Pete much. He stayed at Ground Zero, working every day for two months straight. When he finally decided to give himself a day off, he picked November 12—the day American Airlines Flight 587 crashed into his Rockaway neighborhood … right next to the Harbor Light.

“Kevin Boyle seeks the meaning of the events on and after September 11 not in abstractions but in the moving, personal accounts of those who suffered grievous losses and those who we celebrate as heroes. In a clean direct and therefore powerful prose that captures the true voices of his friends and neighbors, Boyle manages to say more about community than a hundred sociology textbooks and more about the human capacity for grace under pressure than many of our best novelists. This is not a book about politics or foreign policy, but a study of how people rose to excruciating challenges. People in every town in America will identify with Kevin Boyle’s people in Rockaway.”

-E.J. Dionne, Jr., syndicated columnist, author of Why Americans Hate Politics

“What kind of neighborhood produces heroes? Rockaway does. Kevin Boyle takes us inside the lives, the homes, and the culture of a wonderful slice of America. These are the people the media ignores—until we need them. A captivating book.”

-David Brooks, The Weekly Standard; author of bestseller Bobos In Paradise

“May the strength and faith of these heroes of Rockaway help us all rise up!”

-Tim Russert, NBC’s Meet the Press

About the author:

From a sea wall in Rockaway, Kevin Boyle watched as the twin Towers burned and then crumbled. He was close enough to the crash of Flight 587 that his eyes dried from the heat of the hellish fire.

Boyle has spent his life in Brooklyn and Rockaway. He was editor of Rockaway’s only newspaper, The Wave, for five years and continues his relationship with the paper as a regular columnist. Boyle has been published in The Washington Post, New York Newsday, and the New York Post. He has a master’s degree in radio and television from Brooklyn College. Before becoming editor of The Wave, he operated a sports bar in Brooklyn called The Brooklyn Dodger.

“If you don’t set goals, others will set them for you. Then you end up doing what someone else wants for you,” states Reggie Berry former San Diego Changer and Denver Bronco star.

Berry is Executive Director of Goals For Life, a non-profit organization that helps the at-risk student population to identify, set, and achieve goals.

He travels extensively advising concerned groups about the importance of goal setting for these students.

For Reggie Berry’s speaking availability please contact Keith Hunt 909 987 1233 or email Keith@CamelotMarketing.net

“Our research shows that at-risk students with low self esteem, and too much idle time can easily be tempted into drugs, such as cocaine. Our program gives these students the courage, and drive to achieve more for themselves.”

Goals For Life first matches an athlete with at-risk students. As Berry is also President of the National Football League Players Association, L.A Chapter, he is able to enlist other retired players to volunteer their services.

Students, aided by the athlete, identify obtainable goals and what factors may prevent them from being reached. A game plan is then implemented with individual steps with accountability so the goals may be achieved.

The Goals For Life also help schools; communities, families and peers support the student with this program.

“When Reggie Berry addressed the City of Garden Grove Community Foundation he had great ideas to share with young people, and we were impressed with the way he delivered them,” states Bruce A Broadwater, Mayor of Garden Grove.

“From the feedback we received through the school district the kids really enjoyed him. Reggie didn’t speak above them, but to them. He understands the kinds of pressures they confront every day, and teaches them ways to overcome these obstacles and to feel proud of themselves,” adds Broadwater.

“Yogi Berra quipped, “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” At Goals For Life we are dedicated to help at-risk students identify a destination and then assist with the travel plans,” concludes Berry.

Written by Jan Dowker from Simply Organic, The Palms Tanning Resort’s Public Relations company.

Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) November 14 2003– – Holly Rodenberger took a leap of faith when she moved to Colorado in 2002. Following her dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur, she opened what has become in a short period of time an award-winning, nationally acclaimed business.

Although the economic outlook continued to be bleak for many in Colorado, for Holly and her husband, Keith Rodenberger, it was the right time to launch their new venture, The Palms Tanning Resort, a trendy, upscale and very unique tanning salon.

According to Holly, “after working in the corporate world for over 12 years, it was tough leaving my job, my family and friends behind, but I knew that to become a true entrepreneur, sacrifices in life will always have to be made.”

“Before opening the salon’s doors in February of 2003, we had to make a lot of challenging business decisions. We had to decide on a location for The Palms, which was especially tough since we were moving to Denver to open our salon,” she adds.

Holly also noted, “We were venturing into the indoor tanning world, which was a new business industry for us, giving us a slight disadvantage over our established competitors.”

“As co-owner of The Palms Tanning Resort, I knew that part of my responsibility was running the business. Keith and I worked together to make our dream a reality.”

“We took our time to make sure that the salon was built just as we envisioned it. We wanted to create a very unique and exciting atmosphere conceptually and physically that would make our customers want to come back time and again – so it had to be the absolute best and it had to be different from any other tanning salon in the world,” Holly explains.

The long hours and hard work that Holly and Keith invested in the business started to pay off as soon as they opened their doors for business. They have won numerous national awards and accolades, with recognition for “innovative salon concepts;” “superior customer service and satisfaction;” “outstanding branding” incorporated throughout their marketing/promotional materials; and recognition for the salon’s unique décor and stylish image. Locally, they have also received exciting rave reviews for their tremendous success, which has helped to put The Palms on the map in Denver.

Holly’s corporate background helped her to organize the many diverse tasks involved in developing and implementing a business plan, but it didn’t prepare her for the tough job of working with vendors, suppliers and others associated with running the daily operation of the salon.

She learned what it meant to “get in the trenches and hammer out deals” – making sure that she and Keith selected the best available products for the salon, whether it was the latest in tanning bed technology, lotions, or other amenities, while at the same time watching the bottom line.

Within only a month after The Palms Tanning Resort opened, Holly achieved one of the company’s biggest accomplishments by signing the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, becoming their official tanning resort. Now, the cheerleaders enjoy the use of the ever popular, sunless tanning technology, The Mystic, as well as The Palms’ other 13 world class tanning beds. In return, The Palms enjoys the tremendous marketing exposure for the salon by having the cheerleaders endorse The Palms throughout Denver.

In addition, Holly has also used her many years of corporate skills to help launch the franchise process for The Palms. The Palms is one of the youngest tanning salons ever to offer franchises and “thus far, the response from potential investors has been overwhelming”, states Holly.

“Our clients are just like family to us,” according to Holly. “Along with other priorities in our salon, customer service is a very important factor in our industry and we pay particular attention to our client’s needs and tanning demands. Our main goal is to give our customers the kind of personalized treatment that we would expect at a high-end spa or salon.”

On a personal note, Holly’s family life changed dramatically after she moved to Colorado. “I went from working at a corporate office 10 hours or more a day to spending more time with my children while planning and developing the business with my husband,” she says.

“I found that as a business owner, I was really an integral part of the community, not just a spectator. Running the business and having time with my family has really given me a sense of fulfillment and completeness.”

One note of advice from Holly, “don’t simply jump into a business blindly.” She suggests that the reason she and Keith have been so successful in such a short period of time is that they did extensive research on the tanning salon industry and learned what it would take to succeed.

“Learn everything you can about your dream business, analyze and determine where you want to be with your life, look at your financial situation and then ‘just do it,’” suggests Holly.

With true entrepreneurial spirit, Holly advises, “don’t spend all of your time thinking about an idea, take a leap of faith, follow your heart, offer the world something different and never look back or regret following your dreams”. She adds, “following a dream isn’t always easy, but in the end it is the most rewarding experience you will find in life.”
