			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s <a title="In the News" href="http://blog.popcap.com/tag/in-the-news/" target="_blank">In the News</a> missive has been managed by Rachel our mod marketing coordinator, who once, long ago, was referred to here on the <a title="Blog Ride" href="http://blog.popcap.com" target="_blank">Blog Ride</a> as a PR intern. Luckily she got the PopCap tattoo and is now here forever. Which is great, cause if she wasn’t here, who would collect these wondrous snippets of PopCap-ophilia for you?</p>
<p>We have a ton of great coverage this week including a new breed of <a title="Bejeweled Blitz" href="http://www.facebook.com/bejeweledblitz" target="_blank">Bejeweled Blitz</a>, and PopCap games that are helping the colorblind match gems and blast balls!</p>
<ul>
<li>Last week PopCap had TWO games on the top 20 list of fastest-growing Daily Active Users on Facebook! According to <a href="http://www.insidesocialgames.com/2012/11/21/cityville-2-continues-to-top-fastest-growing-facebook-games-by-dau/" target="_blank">Inside Social Games</a>, <a title="Solitaire Blitz" href="http://www.facebook.com/solitaireblitz" target="_blank">Solitaire Blitz</a> came in at #5, while <a title="Zuma Blitz" href="http://www.facebook.com/zumablitz" target="_blank">Zuma Blitz</a> was #15!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Plants vs. Zombies is also getting some love from <a href="http://kotaku.com/5878819/the-12-best-games-on-the-iphone?popular=true" target="_blank">Kotaku</a> and is listed as one of the 12 Best Games on the iPhone. They say the game is a good match for all those “urban gardeners” out there.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Check out this boxing movie montage-style video, on the <a href="http://blog.games.com/2012/11/13/bejeweled-blitz-rubies-and-riches-video/" target="_blank">AOL Games Blog</a>, announcing Bejeweled Blitz: Rubies and Riches. The Game Show Network and PopCap have come together to allow players to compete for cash and prizes in the brand new Rubies and Riches.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you own a NOOK, you’re in luck! Plants vs. Zombies and Bejeweled 2 are now on the Nook HD and Nook HD+. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/14/ea-games-for-barnes-and-noble-nook-hds/" target="_blank">Engadget</a> has all the details.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Last, but not least, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204349404578100942150867894.html">The Wall Street Journal</a> wrote an article about colorblindness and technology. PopCap was mentioned as a video game developer that has enforced gaming disability guidelines, with both Peggle and Zuma Blitz including a colorblind mode.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s <a href="http://blog.popcap.com/tag/in-the-news/">In the News</a> post is brought to you by our-almost-not-a-PR-<em>Intern</em>-anymore Rachel S. She&#8217;s the tops people, and if you ever see her on the street, give her a big hug. She loves hugs from random people. And now, on with it Rachel!</p>
<p>In case you already forgot, Halloween was last Wednesday; so, our <a title="Stop Zombie Mouth" href="http://www.stopzombiemouth.com/" target="_blank">Stop Zombie Mouth</a> campaign was all over the news! Don’t worry (I know you were), we’ve weeded through the articles to bring you the best coverage as well as a couple other hits!</p>
<ul>
<li>Check out what not only the press but parents had to say about the campaign in these articles from <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/10/27/halloween-candy-dental/1644425/" target="_blank">USA Today</a>, <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/10/30/5-tips-for-a-healthy-halloween/" target="_blank">TIME</a>, <a href="http://themommygamers.com/2012/10/stop-zombie-mouth-for-halloween/" target="_blank">The Mommy Gamers</a>, <a href="http://images.burrellesluce.com/image/27038/27038_1322">Desert News</a> and the <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/the_candy_ban_LFOsLn7unfm1RfoKWrMVbO" target="_blank">New York Post</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Stop Zombie Mouth also made appearances on multiple news programs. Here are a few clips: <a href="http://www.myfoxchicago.com/video?clipId=7899366&amp;autostart=true">FOX Chicago</a>, <a href="http://fox4kc.com/2012/10/10/how-to-prevent-zombie-mouth-in-kids/">FOX 4 Kansas City</a> and <a href="http://fox2now.com/2012/10/31/avoiding-zombie-mouth-cavities/">FOX 2 St. Louis</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Along with the campaign, we commissioned a survey and found out that BOTH kids and parents want less candy on Halloween . . . who woulda thunk it?! KKOB summarizes the survey results is <a href="http://www.770kob.com/abc_news/article/Candy_Not_So_Dandy_for_a_Lot_of_Trick-or-Treaters/8008DD381F6711E2919EFEFDADE6840A/">this</a> article.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ign.com/blogs/sam_stewart/2012/10/30/reading-response-rise-of-casual-games/">IGN</a> wrote a very flattering article about the casual gaming industry, why being called a casual gamer is nothing to be ashamed of, and how PopCap is a casual gaming leader and success story! Gee whiz, thanks.</li>
</ul>

<li>In case you weren’t craving cupcakes…you probably are now:</li>

<p>With Halloween only a week away, there has been a lot of chatter about our Stop Zombie Mouth campaign. If you haven’t checked out the <a href="http://www.stopzombiemouth.com/">Stop Zombie Mouth website</a> . . . do it now! But first, catch up on some great PopCap news:</p>
