New York, NY– MRC International, the developers of the world’s first eye tracking solution for webcams has created a whole new technology revolution allowing you to carry out innovative research studies that re-focus overall messages and optimize online marketing campaigns.

Cost-effective, accurate and timely research results are the key to successful

communication and marketing techniques for any media owner, brand owner or agency.

The death of traditional marketing research is allowing for a frontier in this rapidly

changing environment through eye tracking methods that are affordable, easy to

understand and accessible.

Forgetting about the hassle of focus groups or tedious surveys and instead getting effective research results from the comfort of your own home and office was merely a dream. Now it can be a reality through our leading international online EyeTracking tool from MRC International. Our vision is to create a globally leading data collection service for research that will increase the value of surveys simply through using webcams. “The main reason online media has not been able to attract more branding dollars is the lack of ways in which to measure the effectiveness of an online display campaign,” says Mathias Plank, Founder & CEO of MRC International. Now we have created a way to maximize results and minimize the hassle in research.

### About MRC International MRC International has developed the world’s first Online eye tracking solution for webcams, in close partnership with Tobii Technology, the world leader in eye tracking and eye control.

Teen Driving PSA Harrisburg House of Representatives

SFX: tires squealing, cars crashing

VO #1 accident photos teen driver b-roll

It’s a sound no one wants to hear. But for too many teens, it’s the last sound they hear. Car accidents are the #1 cause of death for teenagers. The reasons include inexperience, distractions and not wearing a seatbelt. One lawmaker is hoping to reduce the number of accidents through changes to the graduated driver’s license.

Rep. Kathy Watson R – Bucks County

“Our goal....for all passengers.”

VO #2 FS GFX

The bill would -increase behind-the-wheel training to 65 hours, including 10 at night and 5 in bad weather - permit only one passenger under 18, unless they’re family - allow police to pull a teen over for not wearing a seatbelt

SOT

GENERIC MEMBER COMMENT ON WHY IT’S A GOOD IDEA

VO #3 With support from many legislators including

Transportation Committee Chairman, Rep, Rick Geist, this bill has a strong chance of being passed and implemented.

Rep. Rick Geist “ No law is ever...and do that”

VO #4 Not only does lack of education and safety affect the teenager behind the wheel, but it endangers their passengers and other vehicles on the road.

Rep. Tom Creighton “I represent... in that accident”

VO#5 and map picture of U.S. (Blue)

Pennsylvania is one of only 7 states without an improved Graduated Driving License law yet research shows significant reductions in states that have implemented a GDL system.

Page 20: Media Relations

Teen Driving PSA Harrisburg House of Representatives

Rep. Statistic 39 percent with 1 passenger...

VO #6 Picture from the Traffic crashes pamphlet (girl driving and WHY? Underneath it)

Most teen crashes are the result of “rookie” mistakes, not reckless driving indicating the need for more practice hours

VO#7 While no law can prevent every crash, other states have proven that these changes work, which makes doing nothing the wrong thing for our teens. Reporting from Harrisburg, I’m Herb Logan.

Did You Know? Video Script Harrisburg House of Representatives

Did you know?... Since 1905 the State Museum of Pennsylvania has been offering an interactive and educational experience of the states vast history and heritage.

:09:31

Each year the museum is a “playground” for more than 135,000 schoolchildren and adults exploring culture and history of their state and country.

:08:60

Memorial Hall features a larger than life... 18 foot high bronze statue of the Commonwealth’s founder, William Penn, standing right in front of a monumental mural The Battle of Gettysburg: Pickett's Charge.

:13:00

With more visitors than almost any other Pennsylvania museum you’re probably wondering... what’s so exciting?

:05:30

It may be the four floors of interactive and displayed exhibits ranging from Earth’s beginning to present day

:06:10

Or the planetarium where visitors can witness the wonders of galaxies and stars beyond Earth’s surface during one of the many shows offered throughout the year.

08:66

Perhaps it’s pretending to put on your lab coat as you view the uncovering of fossilized bones in the Dino Lab interactive exhibit. It offers a once in a lifetime chance to see millions of years old fossils be prepared for exhibits just like the ones in the State Museum.

:15:33

Or it’s visiting a constant favorite, the mammal hall, with full-scale displays of Pennsylvania’s wildlife in life like dioramas.

:08:00

But the real reason for the State Museum’s popularity... the many adventures around every corner and something for all visitors to experience and remember. Now You Know

Gaming Web Video Script Harrisburg House of Representatives Representative Mike Vereb proposed House Bill 252 which would transfer duties and responsibilities of

the Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement from the Gaming Control Board to the attorney generals

office.

House Republicans have been pushing for these reform measures for the past two legislative sessions

and strongly believe this major change to the 2004 law regarding slot casinos in Pennsylvania is

necessary. The issue at hand according to Representative Mike Verebe is the control of the Gaming

Control Board by a politically appointed board and the need for independent rule by the Office of

Attorney General.

:21 Sound Bite: 13:28-13:49

Past allegations such as the mob ties to Mount Airy Casino operator Louis DeNaples gives proof of BIE

ordering PGCB officials to change investigatory reports and illegally obtaining casino licenses. With the

change of hands to the Attorney General’s office citizens will be assured that this type of fraud does not

happen and a more transparent licensing process will occur.

:30 Sound Bite: 19:38- 20:08

What this new bill will allow for is background reports and access to criminal investigation information

that has not made it to public record and therefore can’t be seen by the BIE. Representative Verebe

explains that BIE is not recognized by the FBI as a criminal justice agency because they are investigators.

The move to the attorney general office will allow the use of civil division and criminal division to

conduct these background reports in house.

:29 Sound Bite: 16:25-16:54

New head of the Gaming Control Board, Executive Director Kevin O’Toole, recently explained that

powers should not be taken away from them now that leadership positions have changed.

Representative Vereb and his colleagues recognize the switch in leaders but fear that there are always

possibilities for fraud and improper checks and balances.

Now that the Republicans have the chance to make this change they will not sit back. This longstanding

issue has been discussed since 2007.

:29 Sound Bite: 10:23- 10:42

With this information and suggestions at hand Representative Verebe and House Republicans find it

crucial for the power to be transferred from the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement to the

Attorney General’s office.

Reform Bill Video Script Harrisburg House of Representatives

V #1: This week the House of Representatives passed five pivotal bills that will ratify sweeping reforms

aimed at bringing about an open government and restoring the faith of Pennsylvania citizens.

V#1: Pennsylvanians have said that they are unhappy with the way government is running things in

Harrisburg over the past several years and the new leadership in the house is working hard to make long

overdue changes. Representative Rob Kauffman agrees these bills are an important step in making

government more reactive to the people they serve.

(Sound Bite): 8:56- 9:21

V#1: The five bills will strengthen the regulation of lobbyists, extend whistleblower protection, enhance

the integrity of the government awarded contract process, and prevent state tax dollars funneled to

lawmaker-run non- profit organizations. These reforms have been worked on for the past four years and

Representative Mike Vereb feels allowing the citizens to access government spending is crucial.

(Sound Bite) 4:56- 5:19

The whistleblower measure will help encourage government and house employees to come forward

with waste and fraud happening in government. Representative Stan Saylor of York County says this will

empower employees to feel safe in reporting the misspending.

(Sound Bite): 5:51- 6:19

V #1: To bring more thorough examination to no-bid contracts and allow for competitive bidding,

Representative Glen Grell of Cumberland County explains the new requirements of the state agencies.

(Sound Bite): 9:41- 10:06

V #1 Representative Seth Grove clarifies how important these packages of government reform bills are

to Republican lawmakers and the people of Pennsylvania.

(Sound Bite): 4:13-4:28

V #1: These reforms are essential in regaining the trust of Pennsylvanians as well as giving them a louder

voice and allowing for a more transparent and trustworthy government.
