"The law firm of Orum & Roth LLC is engaged in a campaign to notify potential infringers about Card Activation's patent. Notifying a party about the existence of the patent is the first step in attempting to obtain a license agreement. The firm is also engaged in performing due diligence to determine the method used by each potential infringer and to document that method. The firm then generally engages in communications about the patent either directly with a party or with that party's outside counsel. The goal of the communications is to obtain a voluntary license of the patent. In the event that communications break down between the firm and the accused party, the law firm then generally files an infringement lawsuit against the party in issue," said Mark Roth, patent infringement attorney with Orum & Roth LLC.

"We will dividend from all future settlements of Card Activation Technologies, Inc. upon payment of all ordinary and necessary expenses and will reserve 20% of the settlement to be used for future business ventures. The prospective dividends, when available will be paid on a semi annual basis to shareholders of record on the dividend date," said Michael De La Garza, CEO and President of Card Activation Technologies, Inc.

Mr. De La Garza further states, "We are moving in a new business direction and have engaged BFR Capital Group, LLC, a premier Investor Relations firm who will be available for shareholders inquiry. To facilitate their efforts, they have established a toll free number."

About Card Activation Technologies, Inc.

Camtek Reports its Intention to Aggressively Oppose Jury Verdict in Rudolph Patent Infringement Case

MIGDAL HA'EMEK, Israel, March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Camtek Ltd. reports today that a jury verdict has been rendered in favor of Rudolph Technologies, Inc. in Rudolph's patent infringement case against Camtek, pending in the U.S. Federal District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The verdict awarded damages of approximately $6.8 million in favor of Rudolph with regard to sales of Camtek's Falcon products in the United States. No judgment has been entered yet by the Court. The alleged infringement refers to a U.S. patent only, and, therefore, any judgment or injunction, if issued, would not have any effect anywhere other than in the United States.

Camtek intends to aggressively pursue post-trial motions to overturn or modify the jury's verdict and to oppose or limit the effect of any future injunctive relief. Should Camtek be unsuccessful at the trial court level, it plans to appeal any adverse judgment.

"Although we are disappointed by the jury's verdict in this case, we continue to believe that our Falcon products do not infringe on Rudolph's patent and that the patent itself is invalid", said Rafi Amit, Camtek's CEO. "We expect to continue to aggressively defend Camtek's rights and believe that we will be successful in overcoming this unjust verdict."

Verizon's Commitment to Corporate Responsibility Recognized by CRO Magazine and The Big Money.comCommitment Includes $68 Million in Verizon Foundation Grants Awarded Last Year to Nonprofits, and Institution and Expansion of Energy-Saving Programs to Reduce Carbon Emissions

NEW YORK, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon's commitment to corporate responsibility has been recognized by Corporate Responsibility Officer (http://www.thecro.com/) magazine and The Big Money (http://www.thebigmoney.com/), a Web site that focuses on aspects of economics and money.

CRO magazine ranked Verizon No. 32 on the publication's 100 Best Corporate Citizens List. Verizon is the only telecommunications company on the list, which the publication announced at a news conference Friday (March 6).

Verizon received its highest CRO score for philanthropy, ranking 9th in that category. In 2008, the Verizon Foundation, the company's philanthropic arm, awarded $68 million in grants to nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and abroad.

CRO compiled by the 100 Best Corporate Citizens List by using public information to evaluate the 1,000 companies in the Russell 1000 (https://www.russell.com/us/SiteNav.asp) index of large-cap companies, ranking them on their performance in seven key areas: environment, climate change, human rights, philanthropy, employee relations, finance and corporate governance.

Over the past nine years, the three-year total returns -- taking into account stock and dividend return -- of the companies that have been named to CRO's 100 Best Corporate Citizens List have exceeded by an average of 26 percent the returns of the other companies in the Russell 1000 index, according to the magazine.

In a separate honor, Verizon ranked 40th on The Big Money's Socially Responsible Investing Stock Screener (http://www.thebigmoney.com/tools/socially-responsible-investing), out of 500 publicly traded companies in the U.S. IW Financial (http://www.iwfinancial.com/iwf), which specializes in environmental, social and governance issues, was contracted by The Big Money to compile the list and rank companies according to social responsibility criteria including the companies' policies covering gays and lesbians, the environment and treatment of employees.

Verizon is committed to offering its employees a great place to work, providing them with opportunities for both professional and personal development. Over the past few years, the company's employee development, education and training budget has totaled approximately $1 billion.

A responsible steward of the environment, Verizon's energy-conservation, waste-prevention and recycling efforts have yielded an estimated average reduction of 332,295 metric tons in greenhouse-gas emissions over the last five years. That's equivalent to nearly 61,000 cars not driven for one year. In 2008 alone, Verizon:

-- Reduced paper usage by 2,154 tons as a result of paper-free billing initiatives, saving nearly 52,000 trees. -- Doubled the size of its hybrid sedan fleet by adding another 100 sedans used in metropolitan areas across the country. -- Mandated that all new network equipment be at least 20 percent more efficient than prior technologies. Reducing the energy consumed by the equipment also reduces the heat it generates, which, in turn, reduces the cost of providing air conditioning where the equipment is stored. More information is available at http://www.verizonnebs.com/.

Verizon and Corporate Social Responsibility (http://responsibility.verizon.com/home/main)

Verizon is committed to putting its customers first by providing excellent service and great communications experiences. To keep that commitment, the company emphasizes four core values: integrity, respect, performance excellence and accountability.

Verizon's networks help address many pressing social issues (http://responsibility.verizon.com/home/stories/ft_wayne). For example, Verizon's ultra-fast broadband can help reduce energy consumption, and reduce medical errors while driving down costs in the health care system by facilitating an interoperable system of electronic records.

The company's technology also assists people with disabilities (http://responsibility.verizon.com/home/stories/accessibility), the largest minority in America. Nearly 20 years ago, Verizon became the first telecommunications company to adopt a set of Universal Design Principles, which are now an integral part of the product design process throughout the company and have led to a number of products and services offerings such as:

-- Products with Braille. -- Phones with large buttons, and buttons with photos to help those with cognitive difficulties. -- Phones operated by remote control for people with physical disabilities. -- Expanded videophone services to reach more hearing-impaired customers in the New England, New York and Potomac regions. About the Verizon Foundation

The Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, supports the advancement of literacy and K-12 education through its free educational Web site, Thinkfinity.org, and fosters awareness and prevention of domestic violence. In 2008, the Verizon Foundation awarded more than $68 million in grants to nonprofit agencies in the U.S. and abroad. It also matched the charitable donations of Verizon employees and retirees, resulting in an additional $26 million in combined contributions to nonprofits. Through Verizon Volunteers, one of the nation's largest employee volunteer programs, Verizon employees and retirees have volunteered more than 3 million hours of community service since 2000. For more information on the foundation, visit http://www.verizonfoundation.org/.

SteelCloud Delivers Secure TPM Servers for Pilot DoD ProgramSecure Servers Engineered in Cooperation with a Major Federal Integrator

HERNDON, Va., March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SteelCloud , a leading integrator of network-centric, embedded computing and server appliances, today announced that it has developed and delivered secure servers to a major federal integrator addressing requirements of a Department of Defense (DoD) pilot program. These servers provide enhanced security through the implementation of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cryptographic chip.

"We are honored to have been selected as the systems integration supplier on this important DoD pilot program," remarked Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO. "Since servers utilizing the TPM crypto chip are limited in their commercial availability, we leveraged our unique expertise to engineer a solution to the exact requirements of our federal integrator customer. This is our first program requiring servers built around the TPM technology, but we expect to see more opportunities as the DoD and intelligence communities require this higher level in security in their server implementations."

The TPM secure servers were delivered this month in a 2U form factor utilizing the latest Intel multi-core CPU technology, RAID storage, and a fiber optic network interface.

About Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a published specification detailing a random number generator along with a secure cryptographic processor that stores cryptographic keys to protect computer information. TPM is more commonly associated with the actual implementation of the TPM specification as a "TPM chip." The current TPM specification is 1.2 Revision 103, published on July 9, 2007. TPM has three major applications in computer system security. Remote attestation utilizes a nearly unforgeable hash key to ensure that software and/or hardware configurations have not been altered. Another major TPM application area is in system authentication. Utilizing the unique cryptographic information in a system's TPM module ensures the identity of an individual computer. TPM is also used to provide for highly secure hardware-based full disk encryption.

About SteelCloud

SteelCloud is a developer and manufacturer of compliance based technology solutions. The Company designs and manufactures specialized servers and appliances for federal integrators, software vendors and volume users. For both the government and commercial markets the Company delivers integration services and software focused on risk management and network management solutions.

Jingwei International Issues Profit Warning for Fourth Quarter of 2008

SHENZHEN, China, March 6 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Jingwei International Limited (OTC Bulletin Board: JNGW; "Jingwei"), one of the leading providers of data mining and customer relationship marketing services in China, today issued a profit warning for the fourth quarter of 2008.

Due to rapid deterioration in economic condition at the end of 2008, Jingwei's consolidated net profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 is expected to show a decline as compared to that for the fourth quarter of 2007.

John Bi, CFO of Jingwei commented, "While we experienced decline in revenue and profits resulting from lower than expected earning in the fourth quarter of 2008, financials for the full year 2008 look positive. The decline in revenues and profits was primarily attributable to delayed execution of contracts from our clients as a result of economic downturn. Although we can not provide forward financial guidance at this time due to the evolving financing crisis, Jingwei is confident about its continued growth, with opportunities expected from 3G deployment and the stimulus measures being implemented by the government in China."

Jingwei is still in the process of finalizing its audited consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2008. The information contained in this announcement is only a preliminary assessment by the management of Jingwei and is not based on any figures or information which has been audited or reviewed by Jingwei's auditors.

Daniel Tosh is Taking on the World Wide Web; COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Greenlights 'Tosh.0'10-Episode Weekly Topical Series Starring Daniel Tosh Will Premiere In June

NEW YORK, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Blogs, vlogs, tweets and pokes have taken over everyone's lives and it's high time someone takes these new technologies to task. Nothing on the Internet is safe in the hands of comedian Daniel Tosh as COMEDY CENTRAL greenlights "Tosh.0," a new, weekly series that is set to change the way people think about the Web, it was announced today by Lauren Corrao, president, original programming and development, COMEDY CENTRAL. "Tosh.0" is slated to begin production immediately and is scheduled to premiere in June.

"The Internet has become an essential and familiar part of our viewers lives and it's filled with humor, be it a blog, site or video, that calls out for comedic commentary," said Corrao. "Daniel is the guy you want offering up opinions on everything around you -- he's biting, hilarious and so quick."

"Finally, a television show that steals from the Internet, as opposed to the other way around," said Tosh.

Executive produced by Daniel Tosh and Mike Gibbons ("Talk Show with Spike Feresten," "The Showbiz Show with David Spade") and hosted by Tosh, "Tosh.0" is a weekly, topical series that takes on everything the Internet has to offer through the comedian's sarcastic and biting point-of-view. The series will go deep into the Web, spinning commentary about blogs and vlogs both popular and obscure, tweets and pokes, popular sites and new technologies. The series will also feature viral clips of the week, premiere its own original videos created by and starring well-known actors and comedians, as well as highlight a weekly "Viewer's Choice" video chosen from among those uploaded and voted on via

COMEDY CENTRAL's flanker Web site, Atom. In addition, each episode will feature the segment "Web Redemption," which will give subjects of infamous viral videos (think Afro Ninja) a second chance to redeem themselves from the embarrassment with which they've become synonymous. Gary Mann and Joe Lewis are the executives in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.

The unusual mind of Daniel Tosh has earned him the admiration of his peers by winning over audiences with his unique brand of stand-up comedy that has made him one of the most requested headliners in the country. His casual style and sharp material have proven to be greatly appreciated by his audiences, young and old (but mostly young). Named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" in 2005, Tosh has performed on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Last Call with Carson Daly," "Best Week Ever" (VH-1) and MTV'S "Punk'd." On the film front, Tosh was featured in Mike Myers' 2008 release, "The Love Guru."

Tosh has a long history with COMEDY CENTRAL having hosted the network's "Live at Gotham" stand-up series and performing on "Premium Blend" and "Friday Night Stand-up." Tosh has also been featured on the all-comedy channel in a half-hour stand-up special "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents..." (2002) and his first hour-long stand-up special, "Completely Serious" (2007). His premiere CD, "True Stories I Made Up," was released in 2005 through COMEDY CENTRAL Records.

COMEDY CENTRAL, the only all-comedy network, currently is seen in more than 95 million homes nationwide.

General Dynamics Employee Awarded U.S. Coast Guard Innovation Award

FAIRFAX, Va., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- An employee of General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics , received the U.S. Coast Guard's (USCG) annual Innovation Award. Kenny Daffron accepted the 2008 Captain Niels P. Thomsen Innovation Award for Science or Technology on behalf of the USCG Telecommunications and Systems Command. The award was presented at the USCG Innovation Conference held in Virginia Beach, Va.

Daffron received the award for his development of a batch process to automate the transfer of an individual's email and login accounts seamlessly to their new commands.

The General Dynamics team at USCG Telecommunications and Systems Command supports the entire Coast Guard enterprise infrastructure, including e-mail and servers. Since 2004, General Dynamics has assisted the migration of all users from Microsoft NT to Active Directory and Server 2003.

"General Dynamics is proud that our support to U.S. Coast Guard has resulted in cost and time savings for its personnel," said Marcus Collier, senior vice president of General Dynamics Information Technology's Civilian and Homeland Security Solutions Division.

Palomar Medical to Debut New Devices and a More Powerful Platform at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. , a leading researcher and developer of light-based systems for cosmetic treatments, announced today that it will unveil four new devices -- the XD Optic(TM), the GROOVE Optic(TM), LuxPowR(TM) pulsed-light handpiece and a more powerful Aspire SlimLipo(TM) Body Sculpting Laser at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) in San Francisco, California from March 7th to 9th.

For use with the StarLux(R) 500 laser and pulsed-light system, the new XD Optic attaches to the Lux1440(TM) and Lux1540(TM) fractional non-ablative laser handpieces, providing deeper skin resurfacing treatments. While the Lux1440 and Lux1540 are known for fractional skin resurfacing treatments, the easy-to-attach XD Optic provides deeper columns of micro-damage. Palomar intends to seek FDA clearance for this device in the near future and begin shipments upon clearance.

In addition, the GROOVE Optic, for use with the Lux2940(TM) fractional ablative laser, provides lines of fractional ablation. The Groove Optic offers results approaching the gold standard full-surface ablation treatment but with the minimal downtime of a fractional treatment. By changing the shape of the micro areas of ablative damage from "dot" to "line", the pattern of treatment can now be correlated with that of wrinkles. With multiple passes, a faster, more uniform coverage can also be realized. The Lux2940 is FDA cleared for skin resurfacing and treatment of wrinkles, rhytides, furrows, fine lines, textural irregularities, pigmented lesions, and vascular dyschromia. Palomar plans to begin shipments of the GROOVE Optic this Spring.

The LuxPowR intense pulsed-light handpiece brings permanent hair reduction to a new level, without sacrificing comfort. Capitalizing on the StarLux 500's increased power and cooling, the LuxPowR's optical train generates fluence up to a 100 J/cm2. An efficient cooling system and advanced optical filtration are provided for patient comfort and safety. Palomar plans to begin shipments of the powerful LuxPowR handpiece by this Spring.

The 40 Watt Aspire SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser is the premier member of the SlimLipo body sculpting family. With its high continuous wave power output, optimized dual-wavelengths, and superior treatment tip design, the 40 Watt system enables fast treatment of larger volumes of fat. The SlimLipo laser-assisted lipolysis device offers excellent results with minimal patient downtime for true laser body sculpting. Palomar plans to begin shipments of the more powerful SlimLipo in the coming weeks.

Chief Executive Officer Joseph P. Caruso commented, "Even in this difficult economic environment, we continue to devote a large percentage of our revenue to research and development in comparison to others in our industry. The benefits of this investment are shown in our current and new products, and we have protected this investment through our intellectual property portfolio. We are excited about our new products which represent Palomar's commitment to continued research and improved science."

Mr. Caruso continued, "Several physicians are seeing fantastic results using a combination therapy with the XD Optic on the Lux1440 or Lux1540 followed by the GROOVE Optic on the Lux2940. Some physicians believe this combination therapy best addresses the unique needs of the aging face - deep non-ablative resurfacing with the XD Optic for excellent reduction in dyschromia and ablative resurfacing with the GROOVE Optic for reduction of moderate lines and texture. Our goal is to offer physicians multiple treatment options with the fastest and most effective products. The new 40 Watt SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser represents that objective and will revolutionize the laser-assisted liposuction industry."

In addition to the introduction of the XD Optic, the GROOVE Optic, LuxPowR pulsed light handpiece and a more powerful Aspire SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser, the following presentations at AAD will be held in Palomar's trade show booth:

EMC Expands #1 Position in External Disk Storage Systems, Analyst Firm ReportsIDC's Quarterly Disk Storage Systems Tracker Shows EMC #1 in External Storage for 2008

HOPKINTON, Mass., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, was the top provider of external disk storage systems again in 2008, according to the latest IDC Worldwide Quarterly Disk Storage Systems Tracker, March 2009. [a]

In addition to being number one in revenue and capacity shipped in the external disk storage systems market for 2008, EMC extended its revenue share lead over its top two largest competitors.

EMC's #1 2008 share of the worldwide networked storage market - which includes NAS (network attached storage), Fibre Channel SAN (storage area network) and iSCSI SAN - was more than double that of its nearest competitors. In NAS, EMC significantly extended its #1 position in 2008 by growing more than five times as fast and taking share from its nearest competitor.

"2008 was another successful year as EMC continued to innovate, execute and offer more updates and features to its line of storage arrays than any other vendor in the market, driving our leadership position for another consecutive year," said BJ Jenkins, EMC's Senior Vice President, Global Marketing. "We set a new standard by offering customers enterprise flash drives more than a year ago and today we are the only vendor providing them across our entire portfolio of arrays. EMC also set a new bar in mid-tier array functionality by delivering more industry-changing advancements like dual-protocol support, thin provisioning, spin down and integration with VMware. Finally, we extended our leadership in NAS with new, low-end unified storage, helping customers leverage the most appropriate protocols for their network. Our goal for the remainder of 2009 with customers is simple -- continue providing them with solutions that help them save money, minimize energy consumption and optimize their virtual infrastructures."

Next Inning Technology Research Updates Outlooks for NetLogic Microsystems, PMC-Sierra, Analog Devices, Nvidia, and MIPS Technologies

PRINCETON, N.J., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has published a series of reports updating outlooks for NetLogic Microsystems , PMC-Sierra , Analog Devices , Nvidia , MIPS Technologies , and more.

Throughout this challenging period in the market, Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers identify uniquely positioned tech sector opportunities. These include a specialty semiconductor stock that has returned 70% since McWilliams added it to the Next Inning model portfolio late last year.

By taking a free test drive of Next Inning, you'll receive real-time notification of Next Inning model portfolio buy and sell orders, the seven Next Inning Paradigm Papers covering key, long-term tech trends, and the exclusive "2009 Guide to Undervalued Tech Stocks." These reports cover nearly 100 technology companies and are chock full of charts and ratings that identify potential big winners for 2009 and which stocks investors should avoid. To accept this offer, visit the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn788

In a recent special report, McWilliams wrote, "While these two rumors appear to be what is driving NetLogic today, in my opinion it's actually what I see as represented by the stars aligning that is more important. The stars in this analogy represent the now well documented demand being generated by the Chinese stimulus plan that in part is making huge investments in telecom and broadband (both wired and wireless). For NetLogic, it's the wireless activity that is most important..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- What elements may be aligning to create a unique opportunity for NetLogic investors? What other stocks may share in NetLogic's good fortune?

-- Might PMC-Sierra and Analog Devices benefit from the same trends that led Altera and Xilinx to recently revise their revenue forecasts higher?

-- Will Nvidia be able to overcome the increasing pressure of a variety of competitors in its markets?

-- Might tiny MIPS represent a big opportunity for investors thanks to its exposure to certain fast growing markets?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 105% since its inception versus less than 1% for the Nasdaq.

Next Inning is a subscription financial newsletter focused on technology stocks. Editor Paul McWilliams is a 20+-year semiconductor industry veteran.

AT&T and MTV Networks Join Forces to 'Unlock the Vault' and Unleash Classic MTV Content Exclusively to UsersDigital Advertising Campaign Gives Users the Key to Access MTV's Vault and Unearth Footage, Interviews and Videos From MTV Music History

NEW YORK, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T and MTV are launching a new interactive campaign - The AT&T Music Vault, built by MTV Networks' Digital Fusion team that brings together the power of the MTV Networks and the AT&T brand to connect with consumers like never before. The campaign enables music fans to unlock a virtual "Vault," (http://www.attvault.mtvmusic.com/), granting them access to MTV Networks' video content that has been kept under lock and key for decades and has never before been released on the Internet - until now.

Each day AT&T and MTV will unlock 15 new pieces of content from MTV, VH1 and CMT's music history. Fans can view tomorrow's content early by correctly playing an AT&T music trivia game which will also be populated around music content across MTV Networks' broad portfolio of sites (including MTV.com, VH1.com, CMT.com). The trivia is served in an innovative unit alongside the video player, so that consumers can play the game while they are watching their favorite video.

The trivia game boasts 18,000 questions across 5 music genres and questions are served according to the genre of the music video being played. So, the entire experience is contextually relevant for consumers. The online advertising campaign has also been developed with the consumer audience in mind - executions on CMT promote the best in country content, while MTV will tease celebrity interviews, the hottest videos and live performances.

Once inside the vault, consumers can share their access with friends. This not only furthers the reach of the campaign, but it also gives consumers an extra reward for their game play.

The engine behind the campaign is mtvmusic.com, an online destination that holds tens of thousands of music videos, live performances, celebrity interviews, behind the scenes clips and special event coverage -- material that has been cultivated, developed, and held by MTV for over twenty-five years. The site contains a streamlined video viewing experience and options such as an innovative, site-wide playlist feature for music fans to store and share their favorite videos.

"We worked with MTVN's Digital Fusion team to create a new experience for consumers, one in which the game is the advertisement. Consumers benefit from the advertisement perhaps more than we do. It's a two way street in terms of digital advertising," said Chris Schembri, Vice President of Media Services for AT&T.

"This partnership is a perfect union of great brands with great messages for our shared audience," said Jason Witt, MTVN Digital Fusion's SVP and General Manager. "Both MTV Networks and AT&T are bringing their collective fans the content they love and doing it in a unique, fun and engaging way."

"Unlock the Vault" is one of many campaigns co-authored by MTVN's Digital Fusion team, an online advertising and marketing unit that works across all MTV Networks' properties to mine insights, develop innovative media and advertising products and create custom marketing programs. From MTV to COMEDY CENTRAL, SPIKE, Nickelodeon and others, Digital Fusion draws upon the vast resources of MTV Networks' portfolio of brands to connect advertisers to highly targeted consumers.

Digital Fusion has developed dozens of campaigns for brands and companies across categories, including entertainment, packaged goods, communications, quick service restaurants, retail, technology, and service industries.

"Unlock the Vault" is supported by Panache, an ad-insertion platform serving major media and entertainment companies.
