Odyssey Introduces New Line of White Ice Putters Nov 11, 2009 03:17PM

Extensive Tour Feedback Yields Best-Feeling Insert to Date and a Rich Dark Nickel Finish

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the November 15th retail availability of their new Odyssey(R) White Ice(TM) line of putters. The latest innovation from the Number One Putter in Golf(R), Odyssey's White Ice line features the brand's best-feeling multi-layer insert to date and a rich dark nickel finish.

Odyssey's White Ice offerings are the culmination of a multi-year Research and Development enterprise that drew upon extensive feedback from Tour players around the world. The result is a new and improved insert with enhanced sound and responsiveness, as well as an ultra-premium look that enhances confidence.

Recent changes made by golf's ruling bodies concerning grooves in irons and wedges are leading to a greater number of softer golf balls that provide more spin and control around the green. Odyssey engineers, who have always developed inserts in tandem with shifts in golf ball technology, armed themselves with this knowledge and worked with Tour pros to develop the new White Ice line. The result is a new insert that features an inner core that is 19% firmer and 92% stiffer than previous models. These changes produced enhancements in feel, sound, responsiveness and resiliency, which add up to consistent distance control and ultimate feel on the green.

Odyssey is the # 1 Putter across the world's major professional tours in wins, usage and top-10 finishes. The new White Ice line features a rich dark nickel finish that was also inspired by feedback received from some of the world's top golfers. This new finish delivers an assuring, ultra premium look when standing over the ball. Other White Ice features include Advanced Roll Technology that moves the center of gravity low and deep in the head to produce an optimized roll, plus Head Weight Optimization between the putter head and club length to create the ideal balance to maximize feel, control and accuracy.

White Ice putters are available in a variety of offerings, ranging from core models like the Odyssey #1, #9 and Rossie(R) models, to more progressive shapes such as the #7 and the Sabertooth(R) model, used by Rocco Mediate in his U.S. Open runner-up finish in 2008.

The new product introduction retail price for Odyssey's new White Ice line is $129 for core models and $179 for progressive shapes. Additional offerings will arrive at retail in February, including White Ice putters that feature the popular 2-ball alignment system.

Swisher Hygiene Expansion Continues Nov 11, 2009 03:15PM

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Swisher Hygiene, leading provider of commercial cleaning and sanitizing products and services, announced today that it has acquired previously independent Swisher franchises serving Arkansas, Connecticut, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. These facilities will be merged into the company's national network of corporately owned operations, bringing nearly 90% of all Swisher locations under direct corporate control.

Swisher has been rapidly consolidating its ownership and oversight of locations across North America, giving the company the ability to more closely coordinate program expansion. The 26-year-old company has experienced a period of significant growth in its chemical business over the past two years following its introduction of a full line of hygiene solutions including foodservice products, cleaners, sanitizers, warewashing formulations, dish machines, detergents, floor care treatments and more.

These products have driven the company's growth not only on the local level, but at the regional and national account level, as well. Swisher offers a comprehensive product program that generates significant savings for franchises and chain businesses with locations in virtually all North American markets. These benefits have prompted increasing numbers of them to make Swisher their partner of choice.

"Customers in every market we operate tell us that they're enthusiastic about our ability to offer an alternative to traditional product suppliers," said Steve Berrard, Chairman and CEO of Swisher Hygiene. "These franchise acquisitions allow us to do just that. By taking direct ownership of key locations, we're in a better position to implement system-wide enhancements that address customer demands, and since all of the locations we've purchased have been very well run, quality personnel are already in place to make the transition seamless.

In fact, Swisher expects customers to experience a fully transparent change-over, with the only perceptible difference being the ongoing introduction of new products and services. There will be no disruption in service or product delivery schedules.

MyClyns(R) Now Available at bigg's Nov 11, 2009 03:14PM

CINCINNATI, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- MyClyns, the new non-alcohol germ protection spray, is now available to consumers over the counter at Greater Cincinnati bigg's locations.

MyClyns has been used and trusted by first responders, healthcare professionals, military and emergency workers for years and is now available on store shelves for the very first time. Cincinnati's bigg's is the first chain in the country to offer the consumer version of the product, which will be on shelves nationally in mid-November.

MyClyns is the only germ protection spray that is safe for the eyes, nose, mouth and minor cuts and abrasions -- places where germs commonly enter the body. Developed by Northern Kentucky-based Union Springs Pharmaceuticals, the solution found in MyClyns has shown a 99.99 percent reduction of more than 60 pathogens in independent laboratory testing. The product has seen a spike in demand with the onset of the cold and flu season.

"MyClyns found significant success with public safety officials, as they are frequently exposed to any number of pathogens in the field," Union Springs Pharmaceuticals president Joel Ivers said. "That success led us logically to offer the same product to consumers and the response has been overwhelming. It is available in a convenient consumer package, giving parents and travelers another way to help protect themselves and their families when exposed to sick people or public locations where there are potentially harmful germs."

The solution in MyClyns is cleared by the FDA as a 510(k) medical device. It is currently used by more than 2,000 municipalities in the U.S. and 35 countries worldwide. For more information about MyClyns and Union Springs Pharmaceuticals visit www.Clyns.com.

About Union Springs Pharmaceuticals, LLC

Union Springs Pharmaceuticals specializes in providing innovative infection control products for the EMS, fire, law enforcement, corrections, military, government, healthcare and consumer markets. Union Springs Pharmaceuticals offers personal and environmental exposure response products including MyClyns, the revolutionary personal protection spray that can be applied into the eyes, nose and mouth. Union Springs also offers the T-5000 and T-5000V P95 respirators, the only disposable respirators with antibacterial and antiviral technology. It will launch its newest product, ViralClyns, a more convenient N-95 respirator coated with the same antibacterial and antiviral technology, in November 2009.

Global DiSCS Trust 2004-1 (TSX:DST.UN) Announces CIT Group Inc. Credit Event Nov 11, 2009 03:13PM

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 11, 2009) - On November 10, 2009, the Calculation Agent for Global DiSCS Trust 2004-1 (the "Trust") notified the Trust of a Credit Event in respect of CIT Group Inc. (the "Company"). The Trust's unitholders have an exposure to the Company of 0.50% of the Reference Portfolio. The Calculation Agent will carry out the valuation process in accordance with the terms of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and this process should be completed on or about February 10, 2010.

The Trust units benefit from the protection of a synthetic first-loss tranche currently equal to 2.456% of the Reference Portfolio. The initial 4.10% first-loss tranche was reduced as a result of the Credit Events involving Delphi Corporation, Quebecor World Inc., Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, The Rouse Company, Idearc Inc. and General Motors Corporation.

Unitholders' entitlement to receive $25.00 per Trust unit on December 20, 2009 (the "Maturity Date") and quarterly distributions of $0.325 per unit will not be directly affected by this Credit Event. However, if the future Cumulative Net Loss Amount resulting from Credit Events exceeds the remaining first-loss tranche, the Trust's unitholders will receive less than the original subscription price of $25.00 per Trust unit upon the Maturity Date.

Trading information

The Trust units are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol DST.UN. The latest published net asset value of the Trust, as of November 10, 2009, was $24.40 per unit.
