(PRWEB) August 30, 2003

Nashville, TN – Aug 28, 2003 – BlogTV™, a rising leader in the “blogosphere” and personalized service provider for Internet users publishing blogs, unveiled a strategy that will empower bloggers and free them of licensing restrictions and associated fees by providing the benefits of Open Source technology to its new and existing consumer base.

Rather than limit choice, and restrict bloggers to proprietary applications, BlogTV™ offers both a commitment to common protocol and industry standards as well as the ability for Internet users to “publish with personality” on any one of a hundred different “channels” to choose from and publish to. These BlogTV™ channels are mainstream and easily identifiable Web addresses such as BlogAmerica.com and BushRepublicans.com.

The objective and principal goal of the strategy is to not only provide users a unique advantage in fostering a relevant audience instantly by easily informing readers about what the author’s interests are, but to also facilitate community and interaction with the thousands of existing hard-core, dedicated users of powerful Open Source blog applications on the Internet today.

Blog, the Internet term for self-publishing, is a new media which allows anyone with Internet access the ability to easily publish thoughts, opinions, and seamlessly integrate links and references to other Web sites and information sources with no computer programming or Web design skills required on a personal or business Web page.

Blogging has become increasingly popular over the past year as mainstream media magazine TIME credited bloggers with facilitating the resignation of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott from his leadership position. The New York Times regularly publishes articles about the blogging phenomena. Democratic Presidential candidates Howard Dean and John Kerry both have blogs online. The President of the United States official campaign Web site offers bloggers live news feeds and campaign headlines to integrate into their personal blog.

BlogTV™ plans to offer technical support and “Nordstrom caliber” customer service for the Open Source application they intend to make available to their members.

Austin Chase, CEO and President of BlogTV™.com, has long been an advocate and user of the Open Source application that BlogTV™ will deploy and support.

BlogTV™ also intends to assist the volunteer developers of these applications by further contributing to the code via in-house programmers and also consistently provide monetary support and other donations to independent developers of Open Source blogging applications. Mr. Chase has been committed to this practice for well over one year now and intends to be more aggressive in such philanthropy as the BlogTV™ network flourishes.

Tennessee’s BlogTV™

Based in Franklin, TN home to Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, George Jones, Amy Grant, Naomi Judd, and countless other movers and shakers in mass media, BlogTV™ is a progressive media company providing Internet users worldwide the opportunity to let their voice be heard.

Contrary to stereotypes, Tennessee is very contemporary and is on its way to becoming the Silicon leader of the South. Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Computers—one of the world’s top PC makers, thought enough of the Nashville area to construct a one hundred million dollar facility in Silicon South.

Tennessee not only backs technology, but also puts money where the mouth is. The Seventh Annual Tennessee Venture Forum presented by the Tennessee Technology Development Corporation will be held on November 17th and 18th at the Chattanooga Convention Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The Chattanooga Choo Choo is barreling down the super information highway. New technology companies are encouraged to contact the Governor’s office to inquire about the benefits of becoming part of one of the most promising, technological friendly states today

.

BlogTV™ is honored to be based in Tennessee’s Williamson County; one of the most breathtaking, beautiful, richest, and technology friendly counties in America. Even Microsoft® has an office in BlogTV™country.

Mr. Chase adds, “Besides, it’s really nice bumping into Wynonna Judd at the grocery store, Billy Ray Cyrus at Blockbuster, Tony Brown at the Bound’ry, Toby Keith at the airport, Naomi at the bookstore, Dolly Parton at Wal-Mart, Frank Wycheck (Tennessee Titans) at P.F. Chang’s, and Randy Owen of Alabama at Olive Garden. Randy even set me up a meeting with his music publisher—what a cool guy! And bumping into Tanya Tucker’s personal assistant, Laura, was a memorable event as she hand fed me Mu Shu Chicken while sitting at the bar in P.F. Chang’s. Yes, I love Chinese food and all the people of the Great State of Tennessee. Oh, just one more important thing; Go Titans!”

(PRWEB) January 27, 2000

For people that bet on the outcome of sporting events, Super Sunday is the biggest betting day of the year.

One Internet sportsbook and casino, betmaker.com (http://www.betmaker.com), an Internet sportsbook and casino, expects at least half of its 50,000 clients to place a wager on this week’s big game between the St. Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans. A normal football Sunday would attract just 5,000-8,000 bettors. Some are expected to bet on the team they think will win, and others will bet on propositions such as who will score the first touchdown, who will be the MVP or even if the coin toss will be heads or tails. Bets will range from $ 6 to $ 50,000 and everywhere in between.

According to betmaker.com spokesperson, Mike Edwards, “This is the one time of the year when nobody at betmaker can take the day off work. Sports bettors flood in – young, old, male, female, experienced, novice… everyone. Phones ring off the hook with people placing wagers or opening new accounts just to bet on the Super Bowl. Everyone we’ve got works double shifts. It even gives the CEO the excuse to get back on the phone lines.”

That type of hard work during the last four years is why betmaker.com was given the ranking of #1 sportsbook in the world by the College Football Annual.

The new dimension in armchair sports

Modern technology has made it possible to open and operate offshore sportsbooks in 47 countries around the world (betmaker is licensed in Costa Rica and Curacao) to provide an exciting form of entertainment to sports fans everywhere. These sportsbooks make it safe and hassle-free to wager on worldwide sporting events via telephone or the Internet.

Recent studies show that in just a few short years, the Internet wagering industry has surpassed the volume of sports betting in Las Vegas casinos. It is expected to be a $ 10 billion industry by the year 2001.

“It’s simple,” according to Edwards. “We offer more convenience (you don’t have to leave your home and we’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week), we offer more betting options, and it is completely private. We can have your account open in minutes either over the phone or through our Web site.”

Once you have signed up, you can deposit via FedEx, bank wire or credit card into an account that resembles a savings account. You can bet on any game right up until the kickoff, face-off, tip-off or the first pitch and deposit or withdraw funds as you wish.

State-of-the-art computer systems track of all your wagers for you. Once a game has ended, your account is updated in less than five minutes. At any time, you can view your pending wagers, your wager history, your deposit history and other useful bits of information.

Collecting your winnings is just as simple. You can either have your payout FedExed, credited back to your card or sent to you via Western Union.

Bets are taken on football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, auto racing, soccer, horse racing, rugby and boxing, and there is also an online casino where you can play video poker, slots, blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat.

“Sports fans love to bet. They’ve always bet on games with a friend or in the office pool. We’ve just made it easier—now you can do it online or over the phone. We’ve given sports fans a way to become more involved in the game,” added Edwards.

Riverside, CA (PRWEB) June 1, 2007

When Rosalyn Jones is talking about ProDance, a company she founded 8 years ago, her enthusiasm and passion are infectious. You can almost see the capital letters in the air. ProDance 2007, she says, will be everything you could ever want in a professional sports dance conference. The event, she insists, will be unmatched, the choreographers absolutely phenomenal and the choreography simply amazing. When Rosalyn says, “you’re in for an unforgettable experience”, believe her.

Based on its expanding popularity and increasing attendance rates, it’s easy to see why ProDance is fast becoming THE event for professional sports dancers representing the NBA, NFL, AFL, CFL, NFLE, OHL, MISL, NLL, and other professional sports teams around the world. Last year, over 70 sports dance teams attended. Attendance at ProDance guarantees taking over 30 fully choreographed routines home to their respective franchises. It’s professional sports entertainment at its finest.

The benefits that participants take away from ProDance each year are immense. “ProDance has been an exciting opportunity to challenge dancers to push themselves to the top of their game in a positive environment”, says Dianne Greenough, director of the Edmonton Eskimos Dance Team. “The chance to train beside other successful dancers and work with the top choreographers in North America is a rare opportunity, particularly for the talented young ladies I bring from Canada. ProDance has allowed my dance team to realize that they are skilled and yet acknowledge that there is far to go to reach the standards set by this amazing program.”

Courtney Niven, of the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak adds, ” I can’t imagine going through a season without the ProDance DVD!!!”

ProDance 2007 will take place July 29 – August 1 at LaQuinta Resort and Club near Palm Springs, California. More than 400 professional sports dancers from teams like the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Edmonton Eskimos, Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and many more are expected to attend, making it, in the words of Jones, “our most exciting event yet”. Teams from across the United States, Canada, and as far away as Japan and Malaysia will be taking part in the event.

ProDance’s biggest draw has always been the high quality of choreography and instruction it provides. They continue to attract the most sought-after talent in the world and this year will be no exception. Two choreographers who are sure to delight every attendee will be from the hit movie “Stomp The Yard”. Dave Scott, head choreographer and master mind behind “Stomp the Yard” and “You Got Served” will delight the crowd with his genius. Chuck Maldonado, who served as assistant choreographer on Stomp The Yard, is returning to ProDance after an electrifying master class last summer. The world-class choreographers don’t stop there. ProDance choreographers include Mikey Minden, choreographer for the Pussy Cat Dolls, Napoleon and Tabitha D’umo, Marina and Mina Ortega, John Peters, Teresa Espinosa, Karl Mundt, Chio, and from the Fox hit show “So You Think You Can Dance” NuStylz.

An exciting and new addition to ProDance 2007 will be “PDC”—ProDance Collegiate. For the first time,ProDance has designed a program specifically for collegiate dance teams.

“I’ve spoken with many directors who are seeking MORE out of their camp experience. Some want to increase their success at Nationals. Others want to go to a camp where the focus is on learning and acquiring enough choreography to get them through their season. Still others want to have a more polished look for their fans”, said Jones, “It is my goal that ProDance Collegiate will fill the void for college dance teams”.

ProDance Collegiate will take place July 26 -28 at the prestigious LaQuinta Resort & Club near Palm Springs, CA. And will feature choreography from: Carol Lloyd from the elite University of Memphis, Luam, Gustavo Vargas, Brian “BT” Thomas, Tabitha and Napoleon D’umo, and fresh from the pages of Dance Spirit Magazine – Misha Gabriel. A select group of college teams will feature the opportunity to inject new energy into their existing programs with over 15 fully choreographed routines.

ProDance and PDC will also proudly offer scholarships provided by the world famous Broadway Dance Center in New York and the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles.

It all comes together to make the most exceptional and exciting dance event of the year. ProDance!

The organization is made up of military spouses, caregivers to war wounded, and retired military personnel.

La Quinta, CA (PRWEB) May 9, 2006

Cheerleaders are the most recognizable form of pro sports entertainment, as well as a fast-growing profit center. According to the Forbes magazine article ?Pom-Poms And Profits? (Rob Wherry, 09.15.03), money generated by cheerleader calendar sales, corporate appearances, and clothing lines are close to $ 1 million a year. A growing number of these teams have discovered that ProDance gives them the competitive edge.

ProDance is a powerhouse, high-profile gathering of choreographers, dancers, and directors representing the NBA, NFL, WNBA, CFL, AFL, and other professional sports teams. These unique athletes and entertainers receive state-of-the-art instruction, enabling them to provide a heightened entertainment package for the upcoming season, which will directly impact their respective franchises. The world’s top choreographers teach more than 30 fully choreographed routines, many of which are performed on basketball courts and football fields around the world.

?TV commercials, music videos, and movies have elevated dance and choreography to a pop-culture status, and pro-sports dancers must continue to raise the bar in order to stay ahead of the game. Being a dancer or director for a professional sports team is challenging and exciting,? says Rosalyn Jones, CEO/Founder of ProDance. ?In order to maintain or exceed expectations, all of us in the industry must constantly remain aware of new directions in choreography, music, costuming, management, marketing, etc.

ProDance is the resource to which many pro dancers and their directors are turning for support, education, pre-season training, networking, and inspiration! We offer an absolutely unparalleled program that has traction and is gaining a tremendous following in the industry. All I can say is if you want to accelerate your program, get to ProDance as fast as you can.?

?As a consultant to the NFL, AFL, and Sports Franchises, I feel it is a Director?s responsibility to provide his or her Choreographer and Dancers with the ?proper tools? to do their jobs. It is also the Director?s responsibility to Ownership and the Fans to bring exciting and ?fresh look performances? to the games and appearances,? said Lou Jacobs, President and CEO of Statewide USA Pro Cheer Inc., Director of the Philadelphia Soulmates, and Director/Consultant for the Colorado Crush. ?ProDance is an essential tool in providing the dancers with current and ?over the top? routines and ideas.?

?ProDance offers teams the most economically advantageous way to stay on top of the latest trends,” said Cheryl Lawson, CEO of The Perfect Date, Inc., event coordinator of ProDance.” The cost to bring ten world-class choreographers to your city to teach three routines is well over $ 54,000 per team, but to send just 10 dancers to ProDance, teams save over $ 40,000 of that cost. It?s really a no-brainer.?

ProDance 2006 will take place July 30-August 2 and the buzz has already begun. Hundreds of professional sports cheerleaders and dancers representing teams like the Orlando Magic, Minnesota Vikings, Scottish Rockettes, Washington Redskins, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Pistons Automotion, Miami Heat, and many more are expected to attend. An eclectic mix of trend-setting choreography will be a part of the ProDance experience. Some of the choreographers scheduled this year are John Peters, Mina and Marina Ortega, Shane Sparks, Shawnette Heard, Rey Lozano, Barry Youngblood, Chio, Kim Baum, and notable others.

ActiveStrategy, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Strategy Execution consulting and software, announced that the Metropolitan Government of Nashville, Tennessee has chosen to automate its performance management framework with ActiveStrategy Enterprise (ASE) software.

In 2002, the Metropolitan Government of Nashville began deploying a government-wide strategic planning and performance measurement initiative called “Results Matter.” This initiative has sought to launch a “managing for results” methodology into the systems and culture of the Nashville government. Its aim is to provide every department with the tools and data needed for all employees to focus on delivering results for customers and to align the organization so everyone knows how they contribute at all levels – an important step in driving accountability.

Thirty-eight departments and agencies began the Results Matter program by producing Strategic Business Plans that focus on both operational and strategic elements. These plans were previously housed in an internal database and will now be loaded into ActiveStrategy Enterprise software. ASE will allow employees to review and interact with the data, which they were not able to do before. With ASE’s enhanced tools like dashboards and briefing books, Nashville will have real-time views of its Business Plans. Departments will have the necessary information available to help them make good business decisions that produce results for the government’s customers – its citizens.

Seeking long-term success for Nashville, ActiveStrategy has partnered with CIBER, a leader in building, implementing, and supporting IT systems for local governments. “CIBER is very pleased to partner with ActiveStrategy in support of this engagement for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2009

Dozens of venues across the USA are now using the ISS system, with new venues signing up weekly. These teams and venues have implemented the ISS service to provide text messaging capabilities to their fans in order to report unruly behavior, medical situations, and guest service & housekeeping issues. Fans are able to send text messages right from their cell phone discreetly and directly to each venues command and control center. Within seconds, the command center can dispatch venue staff to respond to the issue. They even have the option to text or call back the fan for additional information. Text messaging empowers the fan to have a voice in enhancing their game day experience and allows the venue to handle issues quickly and effectively.

“Collegiate Stadiums and Venues are a natural fit for our fan text messaging system. Security is a concern for the administration and students alike” said Scott Meyers of ISS. “Race tracks also have shown a strong interest in our system due to the large crowds that they attract.”

“Every venue, large and small, college or pro, can now allow their spectators the ability to quickly and discreetly send a message to venue staff for assistance with a variety of game day issues from unruly fan behavior to medical situations. In the past, unless staff was right next to you, spectators would have to get up out of their seats and even leave their family to get the staff’s attention. Worse yet, many leave the venue without doing anything about it except vowing to never return.” says Scott Meyers, VP Sales & Marketing for ISS. “Our proprietary text messaging system helps solve these issues. The fans’ voices can now be heard within seconds and their issues quickly resolved.”

According to Jeffrey Miller, the NFL’s director of Strategic Security, “If there’s someone around you that’s just really ruining your day, now you don’t have to sit there in silence. This is a great tool for Stadium and Venue Security.” The ISS system was used at this year’s Super Bowl in Tampa Bay as well as the BCS National Championship Game in Miami. ISS has already been selected for next year’s Pro Bowl and Super Bowl in Miami.

Several Professional teams also have recently been added to In Stadium Solutions’ roster of clients this past month. They include the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Bucs, Tennessee Titans, RBC Center (Carolina Hurricanes), Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers.

InStadiumSolutions offers an all-in-one text messaging solution for any type of venue. Their state-of-the art system allows stadium issues to be received within seconds by stadium staff for quick response and resolution. The easy-to-use web based software platform provides stadiums, arenas and other venues with comprehensive event reports that can be exported to EXCEL with the click of a button.

The ISS system can also perform several other functions including use as a valuable marketing tool to run interactive games and contests both on scoreboards (with real-time results) and all other media, send ticket and merchandise offers on behalf of the team/venue, send coupons or messages on behalf of corporate sponsors, send alerts such as traffic & weather conditions and much more.

Any venue can contact ISS for a 30 minute online demonstration by calling the ISS office at (954) 514-8988.

Fashion Lives! A Derby Vogue Affair will feature designers and patrons who have an earnest interest in raising awareness and enriching the lives of abused, abandoned and neglected children.

Part of the proceeds from the inaugural fashion show benefits two very worthy non-profit organizations that work tirelessly to enhance the day-to-day lives of these extraordinary children in crisis; Juli’s Kids Motivated to Succeed, and Louisville’s’ own, Home of Innocents. Home of the Innocents, a private, non-profit agency that has been in operation for 130 years, last year served almost 2,000 children and families. The organization is the region’s open arms to kids in crisis – caring for children of abuse, abandonment and neglect, those who are medically fragile, and children with autism.

Juli’s Kids Motivated to Succeed, a non-profit organization, founded in 1998, and recently renamed, was formed to nurture the need of millions of children in our nation’s foster care and social service systems. The mission of Juli’s Kids is to enrich the quality of life of today’s abused, abandoned and neglected children throughout the United States whose futures have been directly impacted by circumstances which have placed them within the foster care system. Juli’s Kids focuses on youths in group homes, child protective services and child abuse shelters.

World renowned designer lines as well as new, up and coming designers will grace the catwalk. Title sponsor Jam Sports & Entertainment is joined by Red Bull, American Airlines, Horseshoe Casino & Hotel, and Carol’s Daughter. Each of these partners will provide a unique combination of hospitality, services and attractions to support the fundraising efforts of this grand gala.

Fashion Lives! A Derby Vogue Affair will be held on Friday, April 30, 2010 at 8:30 PM at the Showroom of Horseshoe Casino & Hotel followed by a party with the stars until 2 AM.
