TAMPA, FL, October 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Clear Channel Airports (CCA) unveils their new innovative advertising kiosk system at Tampa International Airport (TIA). This exciting technology provides travelers the ability to easily identify, locate and connect with Tampa Bay area services, while providing businesses a unique advertising opportunity. Tampa International Airport officials and the Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce will join Clear Channel Airports in a ribbon-cutting ceremony unveiling the new kiosks to the Greater Tampa Bay community. The ceremony will be on Monday, October 25th, 2010 at 1pm in the Red Baggage Claim area across from the Yeager elevator at TIA.

"We are excited to have these new digital passenger kiosks. The kiosks will allow travelers to connect and utilize businesses within the local market in a technologically savvy manner," said Melissa Cleary of Clear Channel Airports. "Many of our clients have expressed interest in this new system and we are proud to unveil it at TIA."

The kiosks will allow consumers to have an interactive experience with local businesses to find specific information they are looking for. Bay area businesses are already positioned to take advantage of this service.

"Clear Channel makes it easier to communicate information that will enhance the quality of travelers' visits to Tampa. And they do it in a way that allows us to differentiate our clients' brands. A perfect example of this is the new interactive kiosks that replace the old-fashioned courtesy phones," said Evan Brownstein Partner/Chief Creative Officer of Bright Monkey Marketing, representing the Wyndham Tampa Westshore Hotel.

The digital passenger kiosks allow airport travelers to easily search for local businesses and venues through a touch screen system that replaces the older phone booths in the baggage claim area.

Why $499 Bankruptcies Are Dangerous and Often A Bad Deal

2010-10-22

The crash in the economy has hurt people in many professions, and has hurt the business of many lawyers. Law schools are continuing to graduate new lawyers every year and many are unable to find jobs. Experienced lawyers in areas such as real estate and construction are also struggling. This has caused a new explosion of lawyers flooding into the area of bankruptcy--an area that unfortunately increases when times are bad. Many of these lawyers are fighting for cases and have slashed fees to get clients. Some claim to process cases for as little as $499. This would seem ...

Prison Drug Treatment Programs May Get Axed in Budget Battle

2010-10-22

Everyone understands the old adage about being penny wise but pound foolish--that saving a little money here and there might cost you big money in the long run. Yet when faced with the current statewide budget deficit, Texas lawmakers may be forced to cut drug treatment programs for prisoners--programs that prevent future drug possession charges--that have proven to yield big returns for little investment. Although such programs are sometimes derided by critics as being "soft on crime," drug treatment in prison has been shown to address the root causes of many crimes, ...

Digging for the Dirt on Social Networking Sites

2010-10-22

As we become a society more and more dependent on technology, social networking sites -- like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and even LinkedIn -- are rapidly turning into evidentiary jackpots for divorce attorneys and jilted spouses alike. Phony friend requests, drunken photos, brags about new purchases and even seemingly innocent status updates can all possibly be sources of information that could be used in a divorce or custody proceeding. There is also the relatively new concept of online relationships, also called "cyber affairs" and "virtual affairs," that -- for some ...

Named Abdallah's Laws, in honor of the injured boy, the proposed pieces of legislation would increase the penalties for some people convicted of drunk driving. What ...

2010-10-22

The Obama administration has requested new regulations that would permit the obtaining of "wiretaps" for Internet communications. The regulations would require that communication providers allow wiretaps of their Internet. "The way we communicate has changed dramatically since 1994, but telecommunications law has not kept up.
