MIAMI, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Fashionistas, get ready -- Mercedes-Benz is returning to Miami to heat up summer with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. July 17th to July 21st, the historic Raleigh Hotel will host 15 of the hottest swimwear designers including Red Carter, Poko Pano, Hotel Bondi Swimwear, Syla by Sylvie Cachay, Ed Hardy Swimwear, TIBI, Pistol Panties and Custo Barcelona. Mercedes-Benz has tapped Miami favorite Red Carter as this year's Mercedes-Benz Presents Designer for Swim 2009. The Red Carter line launched in 2004, soon after the designer moved Miami and became inspired by the ever-present energy and bold, Art Deco style. The Red Carter collection incorporates fit, form and function, combining subtle details, bold prints, and advanced technical constructions often neglected by swimwear designers. The 2009 Collection will debut July 19 at 10:00 PM at Cabana Grande at The Raleigh Hotel. Beyond the runway, the place to see and be seen at the Raleigh Hotel is the invite-only Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge, where celebrities, tastemakers and top editors relax between shows. The lounge will host a series of chic-invite only events celebrating the best the week has to offer. Festivities continue poolside where Mercedes-Benz invites guests to enjoy a beauty retreat in the private cabanas along the iconic Raleigh pool. What better way to soak in Miami and do it in style than driving a new Mercedes-Benz? Take a ride in the SLK, SLR Roadster, C63 AMG or the restyled SL Roadster for 2009, all of which will be on display around the Raleigh Hotel. Mercedes-Benz's well-built machines boast outstanding strength, quality and class and have been consistently recognized as style icons. For a city that loves to drop the top and cruise around South Beach, Mercedes-Benz will also display its all new SL63 AMG roadster with a hand-built AMG 6.3-liter V-8 engine that produces 518 horsepower. There is no better time to drop the top and truly enjoy the ride.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the urgent need for commuters to combat the effect of skyrocketing gas prices, CerMet Lab Company has introduced a program that guarantees increased fuel mileage for a company's employees. CerMet's Employee Fuel Assistance Plan (EFA) provides a patented nano-particle ceramic conditioner that reduces friction in vehicle engines, resulting in a measurable reduction in fuel consumption. It is an inexpensive way to give a significant "bonus" to employees that can be worth hundreds, or often thousands of dollars in fuel savings. CerMet client Steven Levin, CEO, SMD, said: "In this energy crisis, we wanted to find a way to show we cared, and to help our employees with their increased commuting costs. We purchased CerMet to help save them money." CerMet's Senior VP Sales, Richard Edwartoski, said: "Our EFA Plan provides long-term excess fuel consumption relief. Many promotions across the country provide a one-time upfront benefit, such as a 0 or 0 gas card, but the CerMet program can give you continuous cost savings, year after year. With the gas prices hurting so many workers getting to and from their place of business, the need for some relief is not optional, it's necessary." Employers have the option of sharing the cost of the plan with their employees, or human resources departments can offer these savings to their employees as a fully-paid benefit, or reward. If fuel expenses are paid by the company, then the company benefits financially from the improved fuel economy. As a conservative example, an average worker who fills their gas tank at least once per week and reduces fuel consumption by 10% would save over 200 over the life of the treatment, which is designed to last 60,000 miles. Independent tests, including a SAE fuel consumption test (J1321 Type II), have verified that the CerMet treatment provides a measurable and repeatable improvement in fuel economy. CerMet is a do-it-yourself engine treatment product that is added to the vehicle's engine oil, which carries microscopic ceramic nano-particles to the friction zones, and these particles then bond to the metal surfaces to significantly reduce friction. No mechanic is required. CerMet reduces fuel consumption in virtually any gas or diesel-powered engine, and the Employee Fuel Assistance Plan can be extended to motorcycles, boats, RVs, lawn equipment, trucks, or heavy equipment. In addition to saving money, participants gain the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping to reduce carbon emissions and their company's carbon footprint. CerMet has also committed to donating 5% of all proceeds from the program to Conservation International or other charitable organizations chosen by the participating company.

As part of their "day of service", the group of AAA vice presidents, district managers, and directors will be welcomed by Gleaners President DeWayne Wells and receive a tour of the facility. At 8:35 a.m. they will move to their work zones and begin their volunteer duties. Work will continue until 12:30 p.m. Gleaners is located at 2131 Beaufait St. in Detroit. "It's important for us to step out from behind our desks and remember we can, and should, work as a team in our communities," said Marti Parks, Vice President of Michigan Branch Operations. "We're proud of our history of volunteer service at AAA, and this is just one more way to demonstrate that commitment. We want to stress these core corporate values in the communities where our members live and work." CONTACT: Jim Rink, 1-313-336-1513, Nancy Cain, 1-313-336-1514, both of Web site: http://www.aaa.com/
