SAN DIEGO, April 23 -- For the past month, LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc. (LG Mobile Phones) focused on finding the fastest thumbs in the U.S. This exhilarating task lead them from the sunny skies of Hollywood to the skyscrapers of New York, where they concluded the first national text messaging competition, the LG National Texting Championship, on Saturday at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Although over 300 competitors thought their thumbs could out-text the best, 13-year-old Morgan Pozgar prevailed as the LG National Texting Champion. The Claysburg, Pennsylvania resident had an impressive text message speed of 42 seconds for a 151 character phrase, which earned her the title of LG National Texting Champion and $25,000 cash.
During this exciting afternoon of thumb exercises and speed-texting, these often overlooked appendages captured the spotlight as contestants battled each other for over $40,000 in cash and prizes. Contestants had the chance to test their texting capabilities based on speed and accuracy by battling it out on their QWERTY keypad mobile devices for money, fame and the LG National Texting Championship crown.
"I am so shocked right now. I send over 4,000 texts every month and can't believe that I actually won the whole competition," said Pozgar. "Now I want to go shopping."
Pozgar's winning phrase was, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocios! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious."
Pozgar came to New York City with her mother Shannon and 15-year-old brother Kyle, who won a 50" plasma LG television in a consolation round. The family had never been to New York City and Shannon was shocked about how well both of her children did in the competition. |GlobalGiants.com|

Biography of Hillary Clinton by Carl Bernstein to be Published by Hutchinson This June : GlobalGiants.com
A WOMAN IN CHARGE: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, written by award-winning journalist and best-selling author Carl Bernstein, will be published in June, it was announced today by Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Publishing Group, US publisher of A WOMAN IN CHARGE. The book, a biography of Senator Clinton that covers her life up through her decision to run for president, will go on sale nationwide on June 19.
Bernstein, who shared a Pulitzer Prize with Bob Woodward for their reporting on Watergate for The Washington Post, has spent the last eight years working on this book. He interviewed more than two hundred people, including friends, colleagues, and adversaries of Hillary's, both on and off the record. The result is a nuanced and thorough look at her life to date.
Bernstein's reporting in A WOMAN IN CHARGE reveals Senator Clinton's complex relationship with her disciplinarian father, examines the early development of her deep religious feelings, and looks at her time at Wellesley and Yale Law School, where her political ideals took shape. It also looks at her courtship with Bill Clinton and the amazing dynamic of their marriage, during the most trying of circumstances and times; it shows the extent to which she was instrumental in the triumphs and troubles of her husband's governorship and presidency; and it untangles her relationship to Whitewater, Troopergate, and Travelgate. Finally, it details her successful run for Senate and remarkable rise to a dominant role in the Democratic party, and it sheds light on her own political brilliance and blind spots.
A WOMAN IN CHARGE will be published in the UK by Hutchinson, an imprint of the Random House Group. |GlobalGiants.com|
