Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 11, 2009

On the heels of announcing its role in the recently introduced PBS Kids Go! online video player development, Cypress Consulting, a Seattle business consulting, technology and creative services firm, was selected to create a new video portal site for housing online video assets geared towards the fast-growing children and young adult segment of the Internet marketplace by children’s entertainment powerhouse, 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: KDE).

4Kids Entertainment, a global organization that creates, develops, produces, broadcasts, distributes, licenses, and manufactures children’s entertainment products, chose Cypress Consulting to develop a video player platform designed to offer young audiences easy access to a library of favorite television programming and unique entertainment content, while establishing a rich video marketplace solution that presented 4Kids Entertainment with new opportunities for generating revenue.

“We saw a tremendous opportunity to broaden distribution of our video content beyond our own Website using additional Internet channels, and selected Cypress Consulting and thePlatform as our ‘best of breed’ partners to make this transition,” said Mark Kirk, VP, Director of Interactive Operations, 4Kids Entertainment. “Working with our internal team to augment our existing service, Cypress Consulting and thePlatform successfully deployed our new video portal at 4Kids TV in a very aggressive timeline.”

In collaboration with the 4Kids Entertainment internal development team, Cypress Consulting replaced the company’s prior Maven Networks video player with a customized broadband video player using the Player Development Kit (PDK) from thePlatform for Media, one of Cypress Consulting’s key technology partners. This strategic deployment of the new 4Kids Entertainment video platform enabled the company to quickly bolster its advertising infrastructure while meeting stringent guidelines for marketing to children, as well as incorporate important community features including user-generated ratings and the creation of an entire online video library focused on kids’ programming.

“We continue to see a variety of trends evolving in the interactive video space around target audiences, technology use and the desire to bring these two closer together with an architecture that offers personalization, community building and access to rich volumes of desired content,” said Nate Thompson, CEO of Cypress Consulting. “4Kids Entertainment is helping to further shape these trends with its new video marketplace that syndicates exclusive content developed for its target audiences through a variety of media channels, including The CW, and until recently, Fox.”

Cypress Consulting’s relationship with 4Kids Entertainment illustrates the company’s success in working with significant media brands to design and implement video platforms with libraries of recorded content to attract users and to deploy revenue-generating models including paid advertisements and content. Most recently, Cypress was responsible for supporting the development of the PBS Kids Go! online video offering, as well as the creation of TruTV’s main video player interface and integration with social media sites including Facebook. Cypress’ Silverlight video portal for CBS College Sports was recently awarded an Outstanding Achievement award from the Interactive Media Council.

Bend, OR (PRWEB) October 13, 2009

Trusted Sports Inc. (TSI) and co-founder, Daniel ‘Rudy’ Ruettiger announced today the search for The Most Inspirational High School Football Player of the year, who will receive the inaugural ‘High School Football Rudy Award’ and a $ 10,000 academic scholarship. This award is aimed at not only celebrating incredibly inspiring player stories, but also to motivate other kids to thrive in life through youth sports. A total of $ 20,000 in academic scholarships will be awarded. The recipient of the High School Football Rudy Award will receive a $ 10,000 college scholarship. Two runners-up will each receive a $ 5,000 scholarship. In just one email push to the 16,000 High School football coaches in America, Trusted Sports has already received 149 nominations from 40 states. Real life stories of each nominee will be posted at HighSchoolRudyAwards.com and parents, kids, and coaches are encouraged to go to the website and identify their most inspiring nominees before the November 30, 2009 cutoff. The top 20 nominations will be announced on December 11, 2009. People can nominate a player they believe is a ‘Rudy’ at HighSchoolRudyAwards.com The award honors student-athletes who may not have the greatest stats, but who bring the most heart to their game.

The High School Football Rudy Awards is an expansion of the highly successful College Football Rudy Awards, now celebrating its third year, which was originally created by Ruettiger as a way to honor those athletes that inspire their teammates with their determination, character and commitment, sometimes in the face of significant adversity. “The 2008 College Rudy Awards received nominations from some of the toughest coaches in football. Yet, when they listened to our finalists at the awards ceremony there wasn’t a dry eye in the room!” explained Ruettiger. “We want to honor those kids who are rising above physical, mental and emotional challenges. These high school nominees – some of them just fifteen years old – are an inspiration! I’ve been following their stories and am amazed at what they have overcome. Kurt LeBlanc of Louisiana suffered two strokes that left him unable to speak. Steven Barber of Colorado was born deaf, yet he’s never allowed that to stop him from following his dream to play football. Anthony Braham of New York suffers from kidney failure. A.J. Bocchini of Wisconsin deals with Cerebral Palsy, but none of these kids allow their challenges to stop them from contributing to the team! Their stories motivate everyone who reads them; inspire kids to take up a sport, or continue playing.” Ruettiger continues, “America needs heroes – now more than ever; and we’re finding them on the high school football fields throughout the country.”

The 2009 Selection Committee includes former Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints Head Coach, Jim Mora Sr.; NBC Football Sideline Reporter, Andrea Kremer; former Seattle Seahawks running back and NFL MVP, Shaun Alexander; former New England Patriots quarterback and four time pro bowl selection, Drew Bledsoe; and Inside the NFL Special Correspondent, Jenn Brown.

About TSI:

With more than 70% of kids dropping out of sports before they turn thirteen, Trusted Sports was created with the mission to motivate kids to thrive in life through sports by inspiring, educating, and uniting young athletes, parents, and coaches. “We know when our kids are engaged in youth sports it translates to a decrease in childhood and teenage obesity, lower levels of drug use, fewer cases of teenage pregnancy and an increase in their overall health and wellbeing,” said CJ Edmonds, CEO of Trusted Sports. Our Mission is to ‘Keep Kids in the Game’ through such inspirational initiatives as the Rudy Awards program. Our hope is that someday soon we will celebrate the ‘Rudy’ on every team in America (boys, girls, and all sports) much like we celebrate the most valuable player or most improved player. Just as the film RUDY transcends playing football for the University of Notre Dame, we hope these awards transcend high school sports.

The High School Football Rudy Awards are produced and managed by Trusted Sports Inc., a Bend, Oregon based company. For more information about Trusted Sports please visit http://www.TrustedSports.com and HighSchoolRudyAwards.com.

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) January 27, 2010

The latest government reports show 4.2 million jobs were lost in 2009, the most in one year since the government started tracking payrolls in 1939. 2,000 employees of the 106 private-sector bus companies with authority to operate in the State of Washington are now at risk of being added to that statistic. This prospect comes courtesy of an amendment Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) placed in the recent Department of Transportation appropriations bill that exempts King County Metro Transit in the state of Washington from the charter rule they agreed to abide by when they accepted federal funds. Under the charter rule, public transit agencies that are supported by taxpayer dollars are not allowed to operate shuttles if a private carrier is available and capable of performing the work.

The exemption afforded King County Metro Transit from the charter rule?the only authority in the nation exempted?means that Seattle area taxpayer dollars are now being used, without consent of the taxpayers, to provide parking lot shuttle services for Seattle Mariners baseball games, Seattle Seahawks football games, and other Seattle-area sporting and public events. ?In effect, taxpayer dollars are being used to underwrite pro sports,? commented Ken Presley, Vice President of Industry Relations for the United Motorcoach Association.

Not only are taxpayer dollars being abused, but the loss of work for Washington state private bus companies will impact the $ 140 million in total annual revenues they generate and the $ 14 million in business and occupation taxes they contribute annually.

The United Motorcoach Association (UMA), North America?s largest association for operators of motorcoach companies, and other industry trade groups are speaking out against the amendment and want to ensure the charter bus rule stays in place, and is enforced, to protect the interests of their members and their employees and taxpayers.

?For the most part, private bus companies do not receive public assistance and cannot compete with public transits that do. It is just that simple,? continued Presley. ?While the exemption may mean subsidized shuttle rides for sports fans, what it really represents is a devastating loss of jobs, lost capital investment potential, lost tax revenue for the Seattle community, and the abuse of taxpayers? dollars. All in a day?s work for Senator Murray.?

?It is difficult to believe Senator Murray has any credibility with the unemployment problem when she has single-handedly demonstrated disregard for the drivers.? Presley concludes, ?The City of Seattle and Washington State voters deserve better and should tell Senator Murray to reverse this harmful amendment; let team owners pay their own way and put these bus drivers back to work.?

?The consequences of this exemption are enormous,? states UMA?s President and CEO, Victor S. Parra. ?It casts a long shadow over the bus companies affected; harming these small businesses will eventually have a domino effect and harm the local economy overall. Senator Murray has ignored the best interests of her community and put on hold a law that is meant to protect jobs and protect taxpayers.?

To ensure Sen. Murray also hears the message from private carriers themselves, the UMA has reached out to its more than 900 operator members today urging them to contact Sen. Murray?s office directly to tell the Senator to reverse the amendment.

About UMA

The United Motorcoach Association is North America?s largest association for operators of motorcoach companies providing charter, tour and regular route services. Founded in 1971, UMA is comprised of over 900 professional bus and motorcoach companies who provide transportation services in all fifty states, Canada and Mexico, and more than 250 supplier, manufacturer, and travel partner members. Headquartered in Alexandria, VA, UMA is dedicated to protecting and promoting the interests of the entire motorcoach industry and providing its member with programs and services to enhance the success of their operations.

Executive of the Year Finalist Andrea Heuston

Artitudes began as a one-person office and under Heuston?s leadership has grown over the past seventeen years into a powerhouse full-service graphic design firm that employs seventeen people and where Heuston is firmly committed to her employees and her community. Heuston believes in putting the needs of her people before the needs of the business. Consequently Artitudes has a very generous benefits package, a great work environment and has won many accolades for its workspace and collaborative culture.

Heuston herself continuously strives to develop her leadership skills and find ever increasing ways to give back to the community.She is a member of PLE (the Peer Leadership Exchange) and EO (Entrepreneurs?

Five years ago Heuston and staffers began Artitudes In Action: Art Docent Campaign, providing art instruction to several local elementary school classrooms and it is for this program that they are a finalist in the ABAs.

Art instruction has been severely affected in by budget cuts in public schools and is usually one of the first subjects to be cut from the curriculum. Heuston saw the growing need and stepped up to create a program that would be mutually beneficial to schools and Artitudes. Artitudes partners with schools and works with them to select classes with the greatest need for art instruction. Employees then volunteer their time as art docents which gives them the opportunity to give back to the community with something they are passionate about ? art.
