Redd’s Adds Two Refreshing Flavors To Brand Family: Redd’s Green Apple And Redd’s Wicked Mango

CHICAGO, March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Starting now, the Redd’s family of brands is offering even more ways to pick different with the nationwide launch of two new flavor options: Redd’s Green Apple Ale and Redd’s Wicked Mango.

Redd’s Green Apple Ale is a brilliant, light-golden beer that serves up a dose of green apple flavor with an exceptional balance of crisp and tart. At five percent alcohol by volume, the beer boasts a clean, slightly dry, yet smooth finish that complements the fun and unexpected personality of the Redd’s Apple Ale brand.

Its mischievous cousin, Redd’s Wicked Mango, offers a rich, golden color and bold mango flavor rooted in crisp apple tones at eight percent alcohol by volume. The flavor of Redd’s Wicked Mango starts out strong but finishes smooth for easy drinkability and a refreshingly hard kick of taste.

“Last year, Redd’s Apple Ale and Redd’s Wicked Apple pushed boundaries by offering bold flavors and dialed up refreshment, to which our drinkers responded positively,” said David Kroll, MillerCoors vice president, marketing and insights. “The introduction of Redd’s Green Apple and Redd’s Wicked Mango flavors continues our commitment to innovation that exceeds our drinkers’ demands.”

Redd’s Green Apple is receiving marketing support across all channels, including the introduction of the character “Granny Smith,” a tart old lady with an unexpected sense of humor. Fans can find Granny Smith in TV spots, social and digital advertising and learn more about her at MeetGrannySmith.com. Redd’s Green Apple Ale will also receive holistic Spanish-language support.

In addition to a fully-integrated marketing campaign, Redd’s Wicked Mango is continuing its partnership with cultural collective group, AFROPUNK, to curate a four-city series of experiences that merge the multi-dimensional worlds of urban alternative music, art, food and technology. Beginning this spring, events in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., will bring together each city’s top musicians, artists, designers and tastemakers for an epic celebration of culture.

Redd’s Green Apple Ale is available in 6-pack bottles, 12-pack bottles and 16-ounce cans. Redd’s Wicked Mango is available in 24- and 16-ounce single cans, as well as in 12-packs of 10-ounce cans.

United Airlines Celebrates 10 Years of Supporting March of Dimes by Ringing the Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange

Healthy Babies are Good for Business

NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — United Airlines knows healthy babies are good for business and is sharing that message with corporations worldwide by ringing The Closing Bell® today at the New York Stock Exchange.

The event kicked off March for Babies, the annual nationwide fundraiser that supports March of Dimes research and education programs to help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. It also celebrated United’s 10th anniversary as a March of Dimes sponsor.

John Rainey, United’s executive vice president and chief financial officer and the 2015 March for Babies national chairman, along with Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes and 12-year-old Elijah Jackson, the 2015 March of Dimes National Ambassador, his mom Elise Jackson, a long-time United employee, and dad Todd Jackson, stood together to ring The Closing Bell.

“We know that many of our customers’ and employees’ lives have been touched by the issue of premature birth, and we are proud to support the March of Dimes in its mission to bring healthy babies into this world,” says Mr. Rainey. “We are honored to be here at the global capital of commerce to focus on the importance of reducing both the financial and emotional cost associated with preterm babies.”

Along with serving as the official airline sponsor of the Ambassador Program, United is a national sponsor of March for Babies, the March of Dimes’ signature fundraiser. Over the past nine years, United employees have helped contribute more than $5.5 million to the March of Dimes.

March for Babies will take place in nearly 700 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico April 25 and 26. March for Babies has been held annually since 1970 and has raised a combined total of more than $2.4 billion to help more babies get a healthy start in life. The goal for this year’s event is to raise more than $100 million to support the research and community and education programs that help women have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

“We are honored to work with companies, like United, that are committed to helping babies. Their corporate philanthropy and leadership is critical to improving the health of babies,” says Dr. Howse. “Preventing preterm birth not only help families, it is one way we can begin to rein in our nation’s skyrocketing health care costs and help businesses protect their bottom line.”

Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy, is a serious health problem that costs the nation more than $26 billion annually, according to a report from the Institute of Medicine. More than 450,000 babies – one out of every nine – are born too soon each year in the United States.

An analysis by Truven Health Analytics, Inc., commissioned by March of Dimes, found that the average medical cost for a premature baby is 11 times the cost of a healthy, full-term baby from birth through the first year. For premature and/or low birth weight babies, the average cost was $55,393, of which $54,149 was paid by company health plans.

The money raised by March for Babies events supports research, education, and community-based programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. March of Dimes grantees conduct research to find answers to the problems that threaten the health of babies.

You can either walk as an individual or join a team with co-workers, family or friends by visiting marchforbabies.org.

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

Doctor Offers 5 Easy Tips to Stay On Top of Good Health

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — More than 80% of the United States’ population fails to meet the daily recommended intake for dairy products, according to the Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In fact, an age-related decline in dairy intake appears to begin in adolescence with almost 90% of adolescent girls and 70% of adolescent boys missing out on the recommended three cups of milk per day requirement. The decline continues at lower levels among adults resulting in the loss of valuable nutrients.¹ To help combat this public health concern and in observance of National Nutrition Month, the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creator of got milk?, has partnered with Doctor of Public Health and Registered Dietitian Wendy Bazilian to inform families about the importance of making healthy food choices as well as provide them with easy tips to maintain a well balanced diet.

Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150302/179013

“Kids are overwhelmed with unhealthy food and beverage choices, which is why parents need support in helping them choose nutrient-rich superfoods, like milk,” says Dr. Wendy Bazilian, author of The SuperFoodsRx Diet. “Milk is a natural food that provides numerous health benefits with research supporting lower risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Plus it can be easily incorporated into any meal, whether breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks, adding a significant increase in intake for shortfall nutrients including calcium, vitamin D and potassium.”

Dr. Bazilian has created five easy tips parents can follow for optimal health:

Reduce saturated fat and empty calories: Opt out of fatty foods and cut out those empty calories. Instead of reaching for a donut and coffee try some whole grain cereal with real milk. The carbs and dairy will keep you satiated longer and help you avoid the sugar and caffeine crash.
Read labels: Before purchasing foods at your local grocery store look at “Nutrition Facts” label and the “Ingredient List” and compare brands based on nutrition.
Add superfoods to all meal occasions: In addition to milk, other superfoods include kale, quinoa, beans, spinach, blueberries, walnuts and red bell peppers, to name a few. Adding some of these to all your meal occasions is sure to add flavor and boost your nutrition.
Make smart swaps: Gradual replacements add up. For example, a glass of milk or a smoothie instead of a soda or sports drink reduces sugars and empty calories and replaces them with key nutrients.
Incorporate exercise: In addition to eating right, it’s important to add a healthy exercise regimen to your life. Just 30 minutes three times a week can make a big difference in your healthy lifestyle.

“The statistics show kids are not consuming the recommended daily requirement of milk, and as a public health expert, Dr. Bazilian knows firsthand the long-term implications an unhealthy diet can have on a young person,” said Steve James, executive director of the CMPB. “We’re using National Nutrition Month as the opportunity to share important health information with parents as well as delicious recipes that are easy to make and that kids will love.”

This year got milk? has included another opportunity for Californians ages 13 years and older to participate in National Nutrition Month Challenge, via the got milk? Cookbook Photo Social Media Contest. Got milk? wants Californians to post pictures of their original healthy, low calorie, low fat or nonfat milk recipe depicting a breakfast, lunch or dinner either on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tag the image using the hashtag #NutritionWithMilk. At the end of contest, ten winners will be selected from the photos to have his/her cookbook photo and recipe featured in the online got milk? Healthy Recipes Cookbook. Cookbook will be featured on www.gotmilk.com and got milk? social media platforms.

For more information on the got milk? Cookbook Photo Social Media Contest or to learn more on how “Milk Fuels Your Future,” visit www.gotmilk.com, Like us on Facebook @gotmilk, Follow us on Twitter @gotmilk and Love us on Instagram @officialgotmilk.

About the CMPB
The California Milk Processor Board was established in 1993 to make milk more competitive and increase milk consumption in California. Awareness of got milk? is over 90% nationally and it is considered one of the most important and successful campaigns in history. Got milk? is a federally registered trademark that has been licensed by the national dairy boards since 1995. The CMPB’s Spanish-language campaign began in 1994 using the tagline “Familia, Amor y Leche” (Family, Love and Milk). The toma leche (Drink Milk) campaign replaced it in 2006, in order to better align the English and Spanish language work. The CMPB is funded by all California milk processors and administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP Still Investigating Investor Claims Involving UBS Puerto Rico Bond Funds

Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP Still Investigating Investor Claims Involving UBS Puerto Rico Bond Funds

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lawyers with the Securities Law Firm of Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP, www.sseklaw.com, are still investigating investor claims involving UBS Puerto Rico bonds and Puerto Rico bond funds. Hundreds of investors have already filed claims against various brokerage firms for losses stemming from Puerto Rico Bond Funds. These cases are likely to be significantly impacted by a recently uncovered audio recording of a UBS meeting in 2011, roughly two years before Puerto Rico bonds crashed.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131011/DA96469LOGO

News agencies have reported that numerous UBS financial advisors were complaining about selling these funds because they were too risky for clients. These advisors supposedly cited concerns including too much risk, limited liquidity, excessive leverage, and fund instability.

The reports continue that Miguel Ferrer, who was at the time the chairman of UBS Financial Services Inc. of Puerto Rico, held a meeting with these reluctant UBS. Supposedly, Ferrer emphasized the “attractive benefits” of the UBS Puerto Rico bond funds, and told these brokers that they needed to sell these products or find a new job.

Ultimately, these comments made by a UBS executive may substantially strengthen claims made by clients of UBS who bought Puerto Rico bonds or UBS proprietary Puerto Rico bond funds at the recommendation or advice of their UBS broker. If you are or were a customer of UBS, Banco Popular, or another brokerage firm who invested in Puerto Rico bonds, Puerto Rican bond funds or similar securities, it is not too late to contact the law firm of Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP for an evaluation of your account to determine if you might have a claim to recover some or all of your losses. All communications will be kept strictly confidential, and you will not be billed in any way for a consultation.

Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP has a team of attorneys, consultants and staff with more than 100 years of combined experience in the securities industry and in securities law. For more than two decades, our firm has represented thousands of investors throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and internationally to recover losses suffered through brokerage firms and banks. We have represented clients in Federal and state courts and in arbitration through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the New York Stock Exchange Inc. (NYSE), the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and in private arbitration actions. More information can also be found at www.ubs-taxfree-puertorico.com.

Texas continues to outpace U.S. in household income growth, new home sales

Texas continues to outpace U.S. in household income growth, new home sales

Texas Association of Realtors releases the 2015 Texas Homebuyers and Sellers Report

AUSTIN, Texas, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas continues to be a national leader in median household income growth and new home sales, according to the 2015 Texas Homebuyers and Sellers Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors.

Scott Kesner, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, commented, “Texas is one of the best states to buy a home in the U.S. because it’s one of the best places to work, do business and raise a family. Our state’s lasting job and economic growth continues to bring higher incomes for Texas families and reaffirms new home sales and development as a critical component in meeting market demand.”

From July 2013 to June 2014, the median household income of Texas homebuyers increased 5.9 percent year-over-year to $97,500. This is more than four times the increase in median household income among homebuyers nationally, which rose 1.4 percent to $84,500 during the same time frame.

Additionally, 28 percent of Texas homes purchased between July 2013 and June 2014 were new homes, a one percent decrease from the previous time period yet still nearly double the share of new homes among U.S. home sales during the same time period. Nationally, the share of new home sales remained constant at 16 percent of all U.S. home purchases.

Increased restrictions in lending standards and rising home prices in certain local markets continue to stifle the growth of first-time homebuyers in Texas. The percentage of first-time homebuyers in Texas decreased four percent to 29 percent of all Texas homebuyers between July 2013 and June 2014. Nationally, the percentage of first-time homebuyers decreased five percent to 33 percent of all U.S. homebuyers during the same time frame.

As a result, Texas homebuyers are older and more likely to be married couples. From July 2013 to June 2014, the typical Texas homebuyer was 45 years old, an increase of two years from the previous report. The percentage of married homebuyers increased one percent year-over-year to 72 percent, compared to a one percent decrease to 65 percent nationally.

Chairman Kesner concluded, “Housing affordability is not just a factor of income. It’s also dependent upon the buyer’s ability to qualify for a mortgage and to afford the ongoing costs of homeownership. The 84^th Texas Legislature will consider several important issues this session that impact homeownership in Texas. Texas Realtors urge our state’s leaders to enforce policies that will continue to protect the rights and quality of life of Texas homeowners.”

Other key statistics from the report include the following:

Median household income among first-time homebuyers increased 5.8 percent year-over-year to $72,000 for first-time homebuyers in Texas and 2.3 percent to $68,300 for first-time homebuyers nationally.
Meanwhile, median household income among repeat buyers decreased, dropping 8.9 percent to $97,500 in Texas and dipping one percent nationally to $95,000 year-over-year.
Texans are buying newer, larger homes than homebuyers nationwide. The typical three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Texas was 2,100 square feet and built in 2002. Nationally, the typical three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was 1,870 square feet and built in 1993.
Sixteen percent of homebuyers in Texas purchased a multi-generational home due to children over the age of 18 or aging parents moving into the house. Nationally this was 13 percent.
The tenure of owning a home increased one year in both Texas and nationally from July 2013 to June 2014, to nine years in Texas and 10 years nationally.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) homes in Texas sold for 30 percent less than homes sold using a Texas Realtor. The average Texas FSBO home sold for $160,000, compared to $228,000 for the average Realtor-assisted home sale.

About the Texas Homebuyers and Sellers Report
The Texas Homebuyers and Sellers Report is based on the 2014 Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers – Texas Report by the National Association of REALTORS®, which surveyed Texans who bought or sold a home between July 2013 and June 2014.
