Volvo Names Greatest Treasure Hunters of All Time

Buried treasure wouldn't be as prized if it weren't for the fanatical treasure hunters trying to dig it up. Today, Volvo Cars of North America named the greatest treasure hunters of all time in conjunction with its global, multi-media treasure hunt for a buried Volvo XC90 V8.

The treasure hunt is part of Volvo Cars' official promotion of Disney's upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Individuals nationwide can visit their local Volvo retailer to pick up a free treasure map through July 11. Once online, they are asked to go to www.volvocars.us/thehunt to register for the world's first hunt for a buried vehicle. Once registered, treasure hunters participate in a challenging, engaging and fun-filled adventure to find the pirate-themed car.

"With varying techniques and degrees of expertise, the people on this list have found big bounties," said Volvo Cars spokesperson, Helen Gore. "We hope that our online treasure hunters enjoy the same success -- though we know only a few will make it to the final hunt!"

* Mel Fisher - "After 16 years of hunting, he and his crew found $450

million in treasure on two sunken Spanish galleons near Key West,

Florida."

* Indiana Jones - "The Holy Grail, The Arc of the Covenant, a sacred

Indian stone -- he seeks only the most priceless treasure and bears an

amazing resemblance to another treasure hunter named Han Solo."

* Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone - "Love and

adventure is treasure, right?"

* That guy on every beach with ill-fitting shorts and a metal detector -

"We're not sure what he's found, but its allowed him to quit his day job

and comb the beach every day. Well done, sir!"

* Your local plumber - "Wedding rings and kitchen sinks. These are a few

of plumbers faaaavorite things."

* Nicholas Cage in National Treasure - "He stole the Declaration of

Independence to get a treasure hunt clue, for Pete's sake!"

* Donald Trump - "Be it real estate or TV shows, he always has his hands

around the treasure chest."

* Kanye West - "Wait, my mistake, 'He aint messing with no gold diggers.'

Wrong list, but a catchy tune nonetheless."

* Joe Montana - "A miner, 49'er to the core. Raised in Pennsylvania, the

land of coal and steel, he traveled west seeking gold in San Francisco,

California. Legend has it, he found it in the way of a few Super Bowl

rings."

* Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - "This 1940's John

Huston classic tested Bogie's soul in a gold prospecting tale for the

ages."

* Any Finalist in the Volvo Treasure Hunt - "After only two weeks there

are nearly 30,000 entrants and climbing. This quest will be a treasure

hunters' survival of the fittest."

Volvo's promotion of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest grew out of the partnership with Disney for the worldwide Volvo Ocean Race. The Volvo ship bears the name of the same boat in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, "The Black Pearl." The Ocean Race began in Vigo, Spain on Nov. 12, 2005 and ended in Gothenburg, Sweden on June 17, 2006.

Now that the month-long tournament has reached the quarterfinals, only eight of 32 teams remain in contention for the most prestigious trophy in sports, the 2006 FIFA World Cup. With the hopes of fans pinned on their national teams, leading online sportsbook PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on the eight remaining teams capturing soccer's biggest prize.

World Cup favorites before Group play began, Brazil remains the bookmaker's pick to win their sixth world championship at 5/2 odds. After a thrilling overtime victory over Mexico, PinnacleSports.com lists Argentina at 9/2 odds to become World Cup champions along with host-country Germany, who'll face Argentina in the first quarterfinal match Friday. Meanwhile Italy stands at 13/2 to capture their fourth World Cup following their controversial penalty-kick win over Australia. Despite uninspired play in both the Group stage and versus Ecuador, England currently stands at 7/1 to end the country's 40-year World Cup drought. Meanwhile, PinnacleSports.com lists France (11/1), Portugal (14/1) and Ukraine (55/1) as long shots to emerge as world champions.

"Entering the tournament, Brazil was known for its explosive goal scoring ability, but after only allowing one goal in World Cup play, they appear to be equally skilled on the defensive end," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Argentina has become a trendy World Cup pick with experts and bettors, but the young Argentineans next face the grueling task of playing the Germans in front of a hostile Berlin crowd. Although they advanced thanks to a controversial foul call in extra time, Italy, with their exceptional defense led by Buffon in goal, cannot be overlooked for the remainder of the tournament."

PinnacleSports.com is offering the most comprehensive menu of World Cup betting options available online with limits of up to $50,000. For each match Pinnacle Sports will offer three-way betting, low-margin Asian handicaps priced to just 1.5%, exact scores and over/under total goals scored. Bettors will also find a wide variety of in-running action on games, as well as proposition bets on each match.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum has added to its archive the "baseball" episode from legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's critically acclaimed music show on XM Satellite Radio, "Theme Time Radio Hour." The one- hour episode contains Dylan singing an a cappella rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," along with classic baseball calls, such as Curt Gowdy's legendary call of Ted Williams' home run in his final at-bat with the Boston Red Sox, and baseball original compositions, such as Buddy Johnson's "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball" and "The Ball Game" by Sister Wynona Carr, among others. The "Theme Time Radio Hour" airs weekly on XM and features an eclectic mix of music based around a theme.

With the NBA draft just hours away, it seems that Adam Morrison has also caught the eye of the American public for his outspokenness about diabetes, the very same diabetes that some say may make him a bit of an unknown entity for the NBA. It is unclear where Morrison will fall in the draft this year but with those in the diabetes community, he was the number one vote getter.

Morrison was at the top gaining the admiration of more than 20,000 readers, listeners, and viewers of dLife, America's leading multimedia information source for people living with diabetes. Business giant Lee Iacocca, and comic book kids' authors Kamaal and Malcolm Washington were among The Annual dLife Top 10, Making a Difference in Diabetes. The entire list may be viewed at http://www.dlife.com/.

Morrison enters the NBA Draft as the nation's leading scorer during the 2005-2006 college basketball season, all while managing his diabetes by openly testing his blood sugars and injecting insulin courtside.

"Some days the sugars are up and down and your body just doesn't feel right but it's no excuse," says Morrison. "You gotta just go out there and give it 110 percent, even though you don't feel well." This message has resonated as dramatically with the diabetes community as his athletic skills on the court have resonated with the sports community.

"The range of winners provides some real insight into just how widely the diabetes epidemic impacts our society," says Howard Steinberg, CEO and Founder of LifeMed Media, the parent company of dLife, who also lives with type 1 diabetes. "Adam's public acknowledgment of his chronic disease helped make it very clear that people with diabetes can take control of their condition and not only achieve success in life, but also achieve greatness."

DHL, the world's leading express delivery and logistics company, and the Official Express Delivery and Logistics Provider of Major League Baseball, today announced their commitment to refurbishing three additional community baseball parks as part of the DHL national community baseball field refurbishment initiative.

The DHL field refurbishment initiative will begin with a June 28 event where DHL employees together with the New York Mets staff and other volunteers will renovate Field #10 in Flushing Meadow Corona Park in Queens, landscaping, re-sodding the infield, seeding the outfield, replacing fencing, and refurbishing and painting benches. The renovated field will accommodate more than 2,000 boys and girls from the ASOPEC and Dominicana USA youth leagues through the 2006 season.

"After successfully renovating fields in Houston, Phoenix and Atlanta during the 2005 season, DHL looks forward to refurbishing fields in several of our MLB partner markets and giving the gift of baseball back to the youth in the local community," said Kelly Keogh, director of corporate citizenship for DHL. "DHL employee volunteers in each market will turn out to help renovate the youth baseball fields as one of several DHL employee initiatives dedicated to giving back to the communities where we live and work," added Keogh.

Later in the season, DHL will also work with the Chicago White Sox and the Florida Marlins, to provide much needed renovations, refurbishments and enhancements to youth community parks in Chicago and South Florida, respectively. With requirements varying for each field, DHL improvements may include: general landscaping improvement, sprinkler system repair, resurfacing base paths, providing a new pitcher's mound, renovation of dugouts and batting cages, new fencing, painting of bleachers and benches, and installation of new scoreboards and concession stands. At the end of each day, DHL employees will hand over the finalized field to the local youth baseball league, who will be invited to play an exhibition game on the newly refurbished field.

In addition, Louisville Slugger will donate new baseball equipment to outfit youth baseball teams at each field refurbished by DHL, including bats, hanging bat bags, catcher's gear, catcher's mitts, batting helmets, hanging helmet bags, and equipment bags.

DHL is in its second season of a three-year, multi-faceted marketing partnership with MLB and Major League Baseball Advanced Media. In addition to providing both organizations with express delivery and logistics services, DHL also has partnerships with seven MLB clubs including the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants.

DHL is also the proud sponsor of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Month Award" and the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award," which recognize the most outstanding relief pitcher each month of the regular season and the most outstanding relief pitcher for the 2006 season as a whole.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Alex Cora teamed up with Volunteers of America and area high school students today to highlight the need for positive enrichment programs for at-risk youth in grades 6-8 in the "Heart of the City" of Boston. Cora joined local high school students who are members of the Boston Action Team at the Mildred Avenue Community Center in Mattapan to underscore the increasing need for positive programs for inner city youth and encourage youth to get involved with volunteer activities in and around Boston during the summer. Volunteers of America's programs in Massachusetts support and empower the area's most vulnerable groups, including at-risk youth, adults and adolescents in recovery from substance abuse, and elders in need of affordable housing and mental health services.

"It's important for all of us to get involved supporting causes we believe in," said Cora. "During the school year, the Boston Action Team inspired hundreds of their peers to get involved supporting causes all around Boston, and now they are encouraging youth to spend the summer volunteering to help inner city youth. For those that get involved, it is sure to be a memorable and meaningful summer."

The Action Team, an expanding youth volunteer initiative created and administered by Volunteers of America and the Major League Baseball Players Trust, is training the next generation of volunteers. Action Teams of Major League baseball players and area high school students work together to inspire and encourage youth to get involved helping those in need in their communities. Through the support of Volunteers of America affiliates across the country, Action Teams are currently at work in Boston, Denver, Minnesota and Philadelphia, with plans to expand into New York, Dallas, Detroit, Portland (Maine), Seattle, Oakland and San Francisco for the 2006-07 school year.

"I want to thank Volunteers of America for joining us to help give our city's young people a brighter future," Mayor Thomas M. Menino said. "It is this type of commitment and dedication that will help Boston's young people lead positive lives and keep our city strong and vibrant."

The Major League Baseball Players Trust partnered with Volunteers of America in 2002 to promote the nurturing and well being of America's children and their families. The partnership features the personal involvement of Major League baseball players and their families with a variety of programs conducted by Volunteers of America's local offices throughout the United States. For more information about the Major League Baseball Players Trust, visit http://www.mlbplayers.com/.

Volunteers of America is a national, nonprofit, faith-based organization that is dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. Through thousands of human service programs, including housing and healthcare, Volunteers of America helps nearly 2 million people in over 400 communities. Since 1896, our ministry of service has supported and empowered America's most vulnerable groups, including at-risk youth, the frail elderly, men and women returning from prison, homeless individuals and families, people with disabilities, and those recovering from addictions. Our work touches the mind, body, heart -- and ultimately the spirit -- of those we serve, integrating our deep compassion with highly effective programs and services.

Once the green flag drops at the Daytona Beach stock car race on July 1, Russell Tillson will be in the stands cheering for Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Cingular Wireless Chevrolet harder than anyone else. That's because when Burton wins, he wins. Even if Burton doesn't win, Tillson still wins. Thanks to a unique promotion by Cingular, Tillson is guaranteed of winning the same amount of money that Burton earns during the race, no matter where he finishes in the 43-car field.

Tillson, a lifelong motorsports fan from Virginia Beach, Virginia, was randomly selected for the opportunity to "Win Jeff Burton's Pay-Day" from more than one million entries submitted between February and June. The sweepstakes was part of Cingular's Virtual Crew Chief program that aired during race telecasts on FOX and FX this year, prompting viewers to answer race-specific questions via wireless text messaging or online at foxsports.com, with the results revealed on-air during the race broadcast. Each entrant received one entry into the "Win Jeff Burton's Pay-Day" sweepstakes for every poll response submitted. Consumers could also opt-in to play racing-themed trivia, with each question answered counting for one contest entry. Information about the sweepstakes was provided on Cingular31.com.

"I have always been a big fan of Jeff Burton, but thanks to Cingular, I have an even bigger reason to cheer him on in Daytona Beach this weekend," said Tillson. "Hopefully I can give him a little extra motivation to end up in the winner's circle. I do feel a little guilty that Jeff has to drive 400 miles for his pay-day while all I have to do is watch from the stands."

"I think it's great that Cingular gave race fans a chance to win my pay- day," said Burton, who grew up in South Boston, Virginia. "I'll definitely be thinking about Russell when I cross the finish line in Daytona Beach. This has always been one of my favorite races so hopefully I can help him win a nice amount of cash."

As part of the grand prize, Tillson will get to travel to his first ever Daytona Beach race and root for the bright orange Cingular Chevrolet at one of motorsports' most famous tracks. Tillson will have high expectations for his impending pay-day, as Burton has a history of racing well in Daytona Beach. During his career at the 2.5-mile tri-oval, he has recorded one win, five Top 5 finishes, and seven Top 10 finishes. Regardless of how Burton performs, Tillson is guaranteed an attractive payout. During last year's race, payouts ranged from $368,261 for the winner down to $80,725.

This year marks Cingular's fifth season as a primary sponsor of the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and Burton's second year behind the wheel. He currently ranks 6th in the Cup Series point standings, buoyed by three Top 5 finishes and ten Top 10 finishes. For his career he has 17 victories, three poles, 97 Top 5 and 166 Top 10 finishes and finished in the Top 10 in the Cup point standings from 1997-2001.
