No Search for Coca-Cola?

Danny Sullivan brought this to our attention over Twitter. Now, while the context of the article is how Google is the winner in this Microsoft-Yahoo standoff (there’s no escaping that story, is there) it’s just difficult to overlook a statement like that.

Coca-Cola Keeps It Cool with Teen Concert Tour Featuring Grammy Award-Winning Star Lupe Fiasco -

Coca-Cola keeps the summer cool and makes it hot for teens across the country as it kicks off the six-city, invitation only "Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour" featuring hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco today in Los Angeles.

Starting tonight in Hollywood, Grammy award-winning hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco will bring his hits, "Kick, Push" and "Superstar" to lucky teens, ages 13-17, across the country for an exclusive, invitation only concert tour created by Coca-Cola North America. The "Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour" opens today at the Avalon in Hollywood and will travel to some of the hottest venues in five other cities including: The Electric Factory (Philadelphia, August 3); The Tabernacle (Atlanta, August 8); Park West (Chicago, August 17); LOVE (Washington D.C., August 21); and, The Filmore at Irving Plaza (New York City, August 29). Up-and-coming artist Karina Pasian will open the show.

"The 'Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour' continues Coca-Cola's tradition of connecting African American teens with something they love - Coca-Cola and music," said Yolanda White, assistant vice president, African American Marketing, Coca-Cola North America. "Not only will each concert offer the teens an unforgettable musical experience, it will give each of them a taste of the Coke Side of Life - a moment in time that is refreshingly optimistic and uplifting. And, by engaging an artist like Lupe Fiasco, they will be encouraged to live on the positive side of life."

Tickets to the show are free and can only be obtained from partnering radio stations, participating retailers and Coca-Cola street teams traveling to teen hot spots throughout the cities. In addition, select Boys & Girls Clubs in each market will distribute tickets to deserving Club teens.

"I am looking forward to the 'Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour.' It's a unique opportunity for me to bring a message of positivity and what it really means to be cool," said Lupe Fiasco. "I hope it will be an unforgettable experience for every teen who attends."

The Grammy award-winning Lupe Fiasco came on the music scene in 2006 with the chart-topping debut single, "Kick, Push." He has been lauded by critics and fans alike for his clean, underground, storytelling rap style that is contrast to popular mainstream lyrics glamorizing materialism, sexuality and violence. His music is inspired by his love for Japanese animation, comic books, video games, art, literature and philosophy. MTV recently ranked him No. 7 on the list of "hottest MCs in the Game 2008." His highly anticipated sophomore album, "The Cool" was released in December 2007 and has garnered current hits "Superstar," "Paris Tokyo" and "Hip Hop Saved My Life."

Partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs

The partnership with local Boys & Girls Clubs is part of a long-term national relationship The Coca-Cola Company has with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the non-profit youth organization. As part of the "Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour," select teens from local Clubs will receive the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Lupe Fiasco and attend the concert as VIPs.

Google Sued for 'Parked' Site Fraud: Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP - Zibb.com

Google is defrauding its advertising customers by charging them for clicks from "parked" websites that Google knows are worthless, according to a federal class action lawsuit filed today by Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California in San Jose.

Google places ads on Google.com and on third-party websites. Its customers are charged whenever their ad is "clicked." Ads appear on third-party websites based on keywords that the customer selects. For example, an ad for a hardware store may appear on a website about home improvement projects.

The "parked" sites at issue in the suit, however, contain no content or useful information -- just ads. The sole purpose of those sites is to generate ad revenue for Google and the site owner, while not providing any benefit to the ad customer.

"The supposed advantage of Google advertising is that it's targeted," said Brian Kabateck, Managing Partner of Kabateck Brown Kellner. "If Google is simply placing ads anywhere they can make a buck, one has to seriously question the value of their advertising program."

Kabateck recently won a multi-million dollar settlement from Yahoo! and was part of an earlier $90 million settlement from Google on behalf of advertisers who were victimized by "click fraud" to which the company turned a blind eye. He is also currently representing Google customers whose ads were placed on third-party sites when they only wanted their ads to appear on Google.com.

According to the lawsuit filed today, Google did not disclose to its advertisers the web addresses of the parked domains where their ads were placed and clicked on, leaving customers with no ability to evaluate, much less dispute, the validity of the clicks for which they were charged. Google failed to provide this information despite the fact that ads placed on parked domains are a constant source of invalid clicks.

Google customers' ads are placed on parked domains automatically. Only after registering, and through a complicated process, can customers "opt out" and exclude their ads from being placed on parked domains.

The plaintiff in this case was charged for several clicks originating from parked domains, with no additional information given by Google as to the nature or specific source of these clicks beyond the designation "parked domain."

The plaintiff examined charges to his account from unknown domains labeled only as "parked domains." Upon further inspection, the plaintiff realized that he was paying for traffic originating from parked domains that had little relation to his business.

Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP is one of the nation's foremost consumer law firms. Its clients have won more than $750 million against Coca Cola, Farmers Insurance, Eli Lilly and other major corporations. As a plaintiff's-only firm, Kabateck Brown Kellner is always on the consumers' side.

InvestSource Inc.: Executives From Dubai Group Visiting ZAP - Zibb.com

Stocks in the News: ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP), Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV), Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE: FSS), Monaco Coach Corporation (NYSE: MNC)

Jul 17, 2008 -- Dubai's Al Yousuf Group has sent two key executives to electric vehicle pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) this summer to explore synergies across their portfolio of transportation companies in which the Al Yousuf Group has invested. Mr. Ashraf Saeed, the Chief Operating Officer for the Al Yousuf Group, is spending approximately a month at ZAP to explore more ways that Al Yousuf can support ZAP's ambitions in alternative transportation. Mr. Saeed has been cultivating the relationship with ZAP since contact was first made with the Al Yousuf Group. "ZAP is leading the way by delivering electric vehicles today to meet increased demand and we are excited to bring the experience of our other technology investments into ZAP," said Mr. Saeed. Mr. Ibrahim Abdue Redha Al Asmawi, the Business Development officer for the Al Yousuf Group, will also be visiting ZAP. The Al Yousuf Group has taken an investment interest in ZAP's products for distribution in The Middle East and in helping the development the Company. Mr. Eqbal Al Yousuf was recently appointed Chairman of ZAP's Board of Directors and attended his first board meeting as Chairman in June at ZAP's Santa Rosa headquarters. He also purchased a 50 percent stake in ZAP's Recharge-It-All battery line. The Al Yousuf Group has invested in other environmentally oriented companies, including companies developing electric transportation technologies. In November, Al Yousuf invested in battery developer Altair Nano. In December, Al Yousuf invested in electric truck developer Phoenix Motorcars.

Jul 17, 2008 -- Visitors to Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve, one of the largest protected intact ecosystems in the world, will now have the opportunity to explore the park with the aid of an environmentally friendly vehicle -- a fuel-efficient and emissions-reducing hybrid bus. IC Bus, North America's largest school bus and commercial bus manufacturer and a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV), is delivering the Park's first hybrid bus on July 17. Assigned for use as part of the park's shuttle service which extends 90 miles into the wilderness, the hybrid bus will transport visitors along a 45- mile route through August 30, during the Park's peak season, enhancing visitors' experience. A quieter engine will improve wildlife viewing as visitors see and hear nature in a way the other buses do not allow. In addition to a quieter ride, the new bus will provide better performance on the steep grades of the park road as Denali is also known for its mountain viewing. Most importantly, the CE Series Hybrid delivers the following environmental benefits: up to 30 percent reduction in particulate matter, up to 20 percent reduction in NOx emissions, up to 70 percent improvement in fuel economy, and up to 40 percent reduction in CO2. "Improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions will help the Park and the environment," said John McKinney, vice president and general manager of IC Bus. "IC Bus is committed to environmental leadership with its hybrid commercial bus." The hybrid system, developed by Enova Systems, couples a diesel engine with an 80-kilowatt powertrain, incorporating a transmission, batteries and an electric motor. The system recovers kinetic energy during regenerative braking, charging the batteries while the bus is slowing down. This provides additional power for acceleration, making the hybrid buses ideal because of the frequent starting and stopping of the bus.

Jul 17, 2008 -- Federal Signal Corporation's (NYSE: FSS) Safety and Security Systems Group, a leader in advancing security and well-being, announced today that the Kentucky State Police have deployed Federal Signal's SmartMSG critical communications system to enhance first responder interoperability. The Federal Signal SmartMSG system will help the Kentucky State Police enhance public safety and security in Kentucky by rapidly alerting the Special Response Team, HazMat Team, Canine Units and Hazardous Device Technicians through voice alerts or text messages to cell phones. The robust Federal Signal SmartMSG system offers law enforcement officers simple interoperability that can help save lives. The Federal Signal SmartMSG critical communications system provides a comprehensive interoperability solution for first responders. Disparate warning systems, including different brands and models and different frequencies, can be bridged by simply docking radios into the mobile command and control unit or stationary unit. With the SmartMSG system, communications equipment is linked to enable first responders to seamlessly collaborate on-scene during mission-critical events. Federal Signal's hosted dialing solution provides the Kentucky State Police with a redundant phone dialing infrastructure. "As a leader in interoperable first responder communications, Federal Signal is delighted to help the Kentucky State Police advance mission-critical communications in the State of Kentucky," said Michael K. Wons, vice president and general manager of Federal Signal's Public Safety Systems Division. "Our comprehensive law enforcement systems include automatic license plate recognition, interoperable communications, and lightbar and mobile video capabilities to help police protect people, property and the environment every day."

Jul 17, 2008 -- Monaco Coach Corporation (NYSE: MNC) announced today that it will relocate all service and production operations in Wakarusa, Elkhart and Nappanee, Indiana and permanently cease operations at those locations. "We have implemented several successful initiatives over the past 18 months in an effort to size our business to match declining market demand. However, market conditions have continued to deteriorate, and we do not see significant improvements occurring in the near future. Therefore, the Company finds it necessary to take further action by implementing a significant capacity reduction," said Kay Toolson, Chairman and CEO. "We deeply regret the impact that shutting down these operations will have on our employees and their families as well as the communities in which they live and work." Approximately 1,400 hourly and salaried employees will be impacted by the move, or 33% of the Company's total workforce. Monaco Coach Corporation will still maintain a significant presence in the Northern Indiana area with approximately 700 employees at its Warsaw, Milford and Goshen operations. "We feel this action, while painful, will enable us to continue to provide world-class products and best-in-the-industry customer care," said John Nepute, President. "Both the Coburg and Warsaw manufacturing facilities have experience building these types of models." Nepute added, "Over the last several quarters, in order to align production with retail demand we have reduced production by taking days and weeks off. The closure of these production facilities in Indiana will decrease our Class A motorized capacity from approximately 180 units per week to 90 and should allow the Company to begin working full-time at the remaining plants in the fourth quarter. The new manufacturing footprint should also allow us to reduce the need for discounting at lower sales volumes.

Market Wrap for July 17th, 2008

Stocks had another strong finish Thursday as all three of the major indices finished more than 1% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had the best performance, finishing near its high with a 1.9% gain. Dow components JPMorgan Chase (JPM 40.80, +4.86) and United Technologies (UTX 64.70, -3.59) both reported better-than-expected earnings per share results. Coca-Cola (KO 50.34, -2.00) also reported strong results, but its shares were shunned. Shares of JPM jumped to their highest level in roughly one month on the news as many investors returned to the financial sector. Financial stocks finished the session 6.5% higher, building on yesterday's surge. Still, financials remain almost 30% lower year-to-date. Nonetheless, their gain this session made for the second consecutive session in which financials outperformed the other sectors and, again, helped the broader market extend yesterday's gains. Positive economic data also lent support to Thursday's advance. Housing starts for June increased 9.1% to an annualized rate of 1.066 million units, which is above the 960,000 consensus estimate. The lift in residential construction bodes well for overall economic activity. Investors found further encouragement when jobless claims for the week ending July 12 indicated an increase of 18,000 to 366,000 since the total was below the consensus expectation for 380,000 claims. The level of initial claims continues to reflect a steady trend. Importantly, though, it also refutes the idea that there has been a material deterioration in the job market. Falling crude prices helped revive the optimistic mood among investors. Stocks had actually succumbed to selling pressure midday, but when crude dipped lower the stock market rallied. Crude shed roughly $5 to finish below $130 per barrel, its lowest level in more than one month.
