AT&T Gives More Than 50 Million Mobile Share Value® Subscribers Shareable Rollover Data(SM)


All Mobile Share Value customers get it automatically at no extra cost


The unused monthly plan data rolls forward for use within the next month


DALLAS, Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today AT&T1 announced it’s bringing back its popular “Rollover” concept – but this time for data. Beginning January 25, all new and current AT&T Mobile Share Value customers will automatically receive the Rollover Data feature at no additional cost.2 Now, all Mobile Share Value customers will have their unused, shareable plan data in a given month roll over to be used within the next month. The best part is that it is simple and easy to track, and Rollover Data benefits the whole family or business – across all smartphones and devices on the same Mobile Share Value plan.

AT&T is making it easier for customers to do more with their data on their terms — all on the nation’s most reliable LTE network with the nation’s strongest LTE signal3. AT&T Mobile Share Value customers will be able to share the data that rolls over from the previous month, a big advantage for families and businesses.

“Rollover Data is an added benefit of being an AT&T Mobile Share Value customer and it’s just another way that we’re saying thanks to our more than 50 million plus Mobile Share Value subscribers,” said Glenn Lurie, President and CEO, AT&T Mobility. “We’re providing even more value and flexibility, and the best part is it’s simple, shareable and easy to track for our customers. All Mobile Share Value customers get this automatically.”

With shareable data rolled from the previous month, AT&T Mobile Share Value customers enjoy more freedom and ability to use their data on their terms across devices.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

  • All levels of AT&T Mobile Share Value plan customers automatically receive the Rollover Data feature – no signing up, no additional cost.
  • Rollover Data can be shared with everyone on the same Mobile Share Value plan.
  • If you do not use your full allotment of plan data in a given month, the extra amount automatically rolls over and is available to be used within the next month.
  • Within a given month, you will use your plan allotment first, before you begin using your Rollover Data. Unused Rollover Data does not carry over.

As an example:

If you have four lines and have a 15GB AT&T Mobile Share Value Plan and only use 10GB in a given month, you’ll roll over 5GB and have a total of 20GB available to use within the next month. If you were to only use 10GB in the second month, you’ll again roll over 5GB and have a total of 20GB available the next month. Bottom line: if you have unused plan data this month, it automatically rolls over to be used within the next month in case you need more than your plan’s allotment. This gives you that extra data to do the things you love across all your devices, like surfing the web, watching videos, listening to your favorite music or sending email.

AT&T Mobile Share Value customers will be able to view their Rollover Data balance on the myAT&T app or online at att.com.

California’s Low Cost Auto Insurance Program Can Insure More Drivers Than Ever In 2015

California’s Low Cost Auto Insurance Program Can Insure More Drivers Than Ever In 2015


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Reforms and enhancements to California’s Low Cost Automobile Insurance Program (CLCA) are in effect as of January 1, 2015 and will allow the program to insure more California drivers than ever.

By California law, all drivers are required to be insured, although approximately 15 percent of cars on the road do not have insurance for various reasons, the most common being cost.

Assembly Bill 60 of 2013 allows Californians to be eligible to apply for a driver’s license regardless of immigration status. With the signing of AB 60, California will welcome an estimated 1.4 million new drivers over the next three years who will seek affordable insurance options.

Senate Bill 1273 has expanded the eligibility criteria to include drivers who have not been continually licensed for the past three years. This will make many newly licensed drivers, including the 1.4 million individuals who can now be licensed under AB 60, eligible for the program.

In addition, SB 1273 has raised the limits on the value of an automobile that can be insured through the program from $20,000 to $25,000 to allow more Californians to qualify for the coverage.

“The expansion of the Low Cost Auto program is a win for all Californians,” said Commissioner Dave Jones. “More California drivers now qualify for low cost auto insurance which means more insured vehicles on our roads and greater safety for all California drivers.”

About California’s Low Cost Auto Insurance (CLCA)
CLCA was established by the Legislature in 1999 and exists (pursuant to California Insurance Code Section 11629.7) as a program designed to provide income-eligible, good drivers with liability insurance protection at affordable rates as a way to meet California’s mandatory auto insurance law. The CLCA program is brought to you by the California Department of Insurance and is administered by the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan (CAARP). Learn more at www.mylowcostauto.com

If you purchased Avalon Organics® or JASON® brand cosmetic products, this class action notice may affect your rights. 


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Lexington Law Group regarding the Avalon Organics and JASON Brand Cosmetics Class Action Lawsuit.

If you purchased Avalon Organics® or JASON® brand cosmetic products, this class action notice may affect your rights.

A class action lawsuit is currently pending against The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (“Hain Celestial”) and includes Avalon Organics® and JASON® brand products. The lawsuit claims that Hain Celestial falsely sells, labels and/or represents certain cosmetic products as organic. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim these products violate California’s Organic Products Act, which requires that cosmetic products advertised, marketed, sold, labeled, or represented as organic in California be made of at least 70 percent organic ingredients.  The plaintiffs say that the packaging and advertising for these products mislead consumers to believe that the products were wholly or at least mostly organic, when, in fact, they were not.  The defendant in the lawsuit denies all the plaintiffs’ allegations.  The Court has not decided who is right and who is wrong.

Am I a Class Member? 

You are a Class Member if you bought Avalon Organics® brand cosmetic products between May 11, 2007 and January 6, 2015 other than those that were USDA certified as organic and/or JASON® brand cosmetic products between May 11, 2007 and January 31, 2011 other than those that were USDA certified as organic.

What Am I Eligible to Receive?

No money is available now and there’s no guarantee that there will be.  The Court has not decided whether Hain Celestial did anything wrong and the two sides have not settled the case. If a settlement is reached, or if the lawyers prove their claims in a trial, then Class Members will be notified about how to ask for benefits.  

If you are still not sure whether you are included as a Class Member, you can visit the website, www.HainOrganicCosmeticsLawsuit.com, call 1-800-481-7948, or write to Hain Celestial Organic Cosmetics Class Action, 1515 Market Street, Suite 1700, Philadelphia, PA 19102, for more information.

What are My Options?

Do Nothing – If you do nothing, you keep the possibility of getting money that may come from a trial or a settlement, but, you give up any rights to sue Hain Celestial on your own about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. You will also be legally bound by all orders the Court issues and judgments the Court makes in this class action.  

Exclude Yourself – If you exclude yourself from the Class – you will not get money from this lawsuit, even if Plaintiffs obtain money as a result of the trial or from any settlement (that may or may not be reached) between Hain Celestial and Plaintiffs. However, you may then be able to sue or continue to sue Hain Celestial about the same legal claims that are involved in this case, now or in the future. If you exclude yourself, you will not be legally bound by the Court’s judgments in this class action.

If the case is not dismissed or settled, Class Counsel will have to prove Plaintiffs’ claims at a trial. The Court has scheduled a trial to decide who is right in this case. The trial is currently set to begin on August 6, 2015 in Courtroom C – 15th Floor of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The date may change so check the website to be kept informed of the trial schedule. During the trial, the Judge and/or a jury will hear all of the evidence, so that a decision can be reached about whether Plaintiffs are right about their claims in the lawsuit. Plaintiffs will have to prove their claims. There is no guarantee that Plaintiffs will win or that they will get money for the Class.

This is only a summary. For more detailed information, please visit www.HainOrganicCosmeticsLawsuit.com, or call 1-800-481-7948.

Honda

The record Honda Division sales of 1,373,029 vehicles in 2014 was an increase of 1.0 percent versus 2013, led by a 2.0 percent increase in total car sales of 781,224 units. The Honda Division once again displayed considerable sales strength across both car and truck categories in 2014.

The award-winning Accord and the all-new Fit led the brand on the car side, while the new Honda CR-V re-asserted its leadership in the hottest segment in the industry, compact SUVs. Accord alone accounted for 388,374 sales in 2014, while CR-V captured 335,019 for the year, a new all-time annual record, and Civic again surpassed the 300,000-unit mark. The sub-compact Fit enjoyed its best December ever.

  • CR-V shattered its previous December and annual milestones, rising 12.6 percent in December on sales of 32,369 units, and 10.2 percent YTD on sales of 335,019.
  • The new Fit continued its hot streak, with 6,450 vehicles sold in December for an increase of 39.7 percent as total Fit sales reached 59,340 units in 2014, an increase of 10.9 percent.    
  • Accord posted an annual increase of 5.9 percent on sales of 388,374 vehicles in 2014 while over 325,000 Civics were sold in 2014. Adding CR-V’s record haul of 335,019 vehicles pushed the total for these three vehicles comfortably over 1 million units.
  • The Honda Pilot surged 28.0 percent in December on sales of 11,479 units in a fast-paced truck market.  

“Despite the price of gasoline dropping well below $3 a gallon in many markets, Honda’s strong, balanced lineup of cars and trucks helped us achieve record sales in 2014,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda division senior vice president and general manager. “The great news is that we will build on this momentum with some great new products coming in 2015.”

Acura

The Acura Division reported total vehicle sales of 167,843 units in 2014, up 1.5 percent — the brand’s best year since 2007 – and third consecutive year of increased sales.  Acura finished the year strongly with 17,809 new cars and truck sold in December for a total gain of 13.1 percent month-over-month.

The Acura MDX and RDX combined for new all-time annual and all-time monthly sales records on combined year-to-date sales of 110,546 units, up 12.6 percent, and December sales of 11,919, up 10.7 percent.

  • MDX rode a wave of popularity en route to best-ever sales of 65,603 units for 2014, up 23.7 percent versus 2013. December sales were up 3.4 percent on sales of 6,761 vehicles for a new all-time sales record for any month.
  • RDX also set annual and monthly records, with total 2014 sales of 44,865, up 0.3 percent, and December sales of 5,156, up 22.3 percent for the month.
  • Total 2014 TLX sales reached 19,127 since its mid-August market debut, with December sales limited only by tight supplies of key models.
  • ILX posted a strong December, with sales rising 10 percent on delivery of 1,730 units.

“The Acura MDX and RDX declared loud and clear why we call them the best 1-2 punch in the luxury SUV game, with record sales in the history of the Acura brand,” said Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager. “With our passenger car lineup now strengthened by the successful launch of the all-new TLX, the upcoming introduction of the redesigned ILX, and the highly anticipated NSX supercar set for its global debut in Detroit, the Acura brand is poised for great things in 2015.”

Sales of luxury homes in Texas continue to increase due to growing incomes, population

Texas Association of Realtors releases 2015 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report


AUSTIN, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE — Strong growth in luxury home sales continued in 2014 throughout Texas’ largest markets, according to the 2015 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors. The report cited sales volume increases from nine percent up to more than 25 percent for homes sold at $1 million or more in markets including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio.

Scott Kesner, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, commented, “The attributes that have driven growth in Texas’ real estate market in recent years – job growth and population growth – are also driving the luxury market. We’re seeing more demand for luxury properties from Texans whose incomes are increasing, enabling them to ‘move up,’ and from those moving to our state from elsewhere in the country.”

As covered in the 2014 Texas Relocation Report released by the Texas Association of Realtors in October, Texas continues to be the most sought-after location for moving, gaining more residents than any other state from places like California, Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Illinois. According to the report, for every Texan that moves to California, two Californians move to Texas. This migration is driving demand for homes in Texas, including those in the luxury market.

“The overall economic growth and prosperity in Texas have contributed heavily to the luxury market, making it one of the strongest segments of housing in Texas in 2014,” said Jim Gaines, Ph.D., economist at the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. “We also saw a lot of people moving to Texas from places like California, where a modest two-bedroom condo can be valued upwards of $1 million. Those people sell their home in California, move to Texas and realize their money goes much further in our market. Thus, even if they don’t have an income typical of a luxury homeowner, they have assets to purchase luxury homes and are stimulating that market.”

Based on data analyzed by the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, the Texas Luxury Home Sales Report analyzes trends in homes sold for $1 million or more from January through October 2014 in Texas’ four largest markets.

In terms of volume, the Houston area featured the largest number of luxury home sales in Texas, with $1M+ homes representing almost two percent of overall home sales. Luxury sales were up 13 percent over the prior year, which significantly outpaced the two percent year-over-year growth seen in volume for the total market. Active listings for luxury homes in Houston were also up compared to the prior year, by 19.7 percent in a market where overall listings were down 7.4 percent. That trend was seen in inventory for luxury homes as well, which was .5 more months than last year, whereas inventory for the overall market decreased by .3 months.

The Austin market showed similar trends, with luxury homes representing two percent of the overall housing market and an increase in sales volume for $1M+ homes of nine percent over the prior year. That compares to a total market sales volume increase of one percent in the Austin area. Listings for luxury homes in Austin increased at a pace consistent with the rest of the market – approximately 11 percent – and the time required to sell a luxury home remained slightly longer than five months, compared to 40 days for the overall market.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, luxury sales represented a smaller percentage of the market at 1.2 percent, but the sales volume was the second highest in the state and increased by double digits, up 15 percent compared to 2014 when overall home sales were flat. Despite a modest increase in listings, the inventory of luxury homes shrank in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2014 by 1.2 months, mirroring a decrease in inventory across the market.

The most aggressive growth in luxury sales in Texas was seen in San Antonio, where $1M+ homes represented less than one percent of the market, but volume increased 26 percent over 2013. In addition, the time required to sell a luxury home in San Antonio decreased significantly, going from 18 months in 2013 to 15 months in 2014.
