GE Lighting Systems Unveils LED StreetDreamsT at 2008 Annual Conference of Mayors

76th Annual Conference of Mayors

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.-- June 30, 2008 --GE Lighting Systems, Inc., part of GE Consumer & Industrial, recently showcased its new LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures at the 76th Annual Conference of Mayors in Miami, Florida. From June 20-24, more than 250 mayors from cities all over the United States descended upon Miami, and GE offered them a sneak peek at one of its latest energy-efficient lighting solutions.

GE provided six of its LED StreetDreamsT luminaires for the event. The new lighting system was installed in the median along Pan American Drive leading up to Miami City Hall.

Municipal leaders are known to be major influencers in the specification and purchase of energy-efficient metropolitan lighting solutions. As downtown revitalization planning has become increasingly sensitive to environmental impacts, LED StreetDreamsT is expected to resonate well with mayors and other municipal authorities because of its energy-efficient LED technology and chic post-top design.

LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures will be introduced to the broader market in 2009.

All-Time Top Rated Documentary on IMDB is Heima

''Heima'' Rated Top All-Time Documentary on IMDB

LOS ANGELES-- June 27, 2008 --Heima, the 2007 documentary film that chronicles a tour by Icelandic group Sigur Ros, has been named the number-one documentary of all time by widely respected movie industry source IMDB. Alan Calzatti, director of Musicians Institute's Music Video-Film-Television program, served as Director of Photography on the location shoot (widely praised for its stunning visuals) and the group later completed post-production on the film in MI's studios.

Since opening its doors in 1977, Musicians Institute (www.mi.edu) has primed over 20,000 musicians, producers, engineers, vocalists, and industry professionals for successful careers in every genre of contemporary music. Located just blocks from the Capitol Records tower, MI has an incredible history of innovation dating back to its origins in 1977 as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), which broke new ground as a performance-based contemporary music school taught by working professionals. Within a few years, GIT was joined by bass and drum programs to form Musicians Institute and the evolution has continued to this day with degree and certificate programs for career-minded guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, recording engineers, independent producers, guitar makers, music business professionals and filmmakers.

Small Business E-commerce Retailers Jump Start With Google Shopping

Google Shopping Jump Starts Small Business E-commerce Retailers

During the holiday season the search engine giant Google added a Shopping tab to its homepage, a tab which directly links to its on-line product catalog called Product Search. FastCommerce, a small business enterprise e-commerce provider, recently announced the successful launch of its automated submission service to Google Shopping. Submission to Google is also available with the free version of FastCommerce. The results have been remarkable. By simply signing up for the free version of FastCommerce and creating a product catalog, the on-line retailer starts selling right away.

San Mateo, CA  -  March 25, 2008 -- For small business on-line retailers, an e-commerce solution that quickly produces results is essential to survival. That is why FastCommerce recently launched a product submission service to Google Shopping; also known as Google Product Search. Google has built the equivalent of an on-line product catalog that is tied in with its popular search site. On-line retailers can post products to the Google catalog, and even sell directly through the service via Google Check-out. Google's popularity coupled with the recent addition of its new Shopping tab on the Google homepage, has the effect of driving targeted searches for product directly through Google Shopping. With Google Shopping, shoppers can view multiple listings for a given product and either purchase directly on Google, or proceed directly to the merchant own web store.

Submitting to Google Product Search costs the on-line retailer nothing; unlike EBay, there are no fees for posting an unlimited number of products. This is a tremendous competitive edge for small business e-commerce start-ups that cannot afford the sometimes prohibitive cost of running a business exclusively on EBay. Rather than having the merchant manually submit products one by one, FastCommerce automatically submits the whole of a merchant's on-line product catalog to Google Product Search. In providing this level of service, FastCommerce is focused on the success of its clients in an increasingly sophisticated and competitive on-line retail universe.

Google Product Search consistently generates a high volume of sales and sales inquiries for FastCommerce merchants. Having the whole of a merchant's on-line product catalog published on Google Shopping is nothing less than a major marketing tool for small business on-line retailers. It is a service that Google offers for free. This is even more remarkable given that the FastCommerce small business e-commerce platform is entirely free for the first fifty products. A small business or an individual entrepreneur can sign up for the free version of FastCommerce, build a professional and attractive web store, and post up to fifty products for free. The free version gives them access to almost the whole of the FastCommerce platform: simply signing up automatically generates a professional website and back office tools to manage their business. Merchants then see an immediate effect in having their products automatically listed to Google's Product Search.

FastCommerce is a web-based e-commerce application that lets small business start, grow and then manage their business on-line, all from one single system. Small business entrepreneurs gain access to a professional, fully operable e-commerce website, as well as a full suite of back-office management tools needed to run a business on-line. It is completely free to the first fifty products. The addition of Google Shopping to the free version is a very powerful tool: a small business can make the move to e-commerce with immediate results. The clients are then free to sign up for additional services when they are ready.

FastCommerce.com also announced the launch of a Professional services division, designed for established businesses looking to make the leap into e-commerce while avoiding the hefty expense of project implementation and costly technology. Small businesses with large product catalogs face tremendous hurdles when looking to go into on-line sales. Such a move has traditionally involves licensing e-commerce technologies, and then expending additional funds for implementation. The FastCommerce Professional Services team brings years of experience and its Web 2.0 technology platform to get companies up and running in days instead of months. There is no contract. For a small set up fee, small businesses get a fully operable e-commerce web-site with their products pre-installed. FastCommerce drives down the cost to a fraction of most e-commerce technology platforms. There are additional services for submitting to over 100 search engines, directories, as well as keyword consultation and continuous updates.

About FastCommerce.com

FastCommerce.com is a Web 2.0 technology platform that changes the way entrepreneurs can succeed in on-line sales. It has been designed to automate all the initial hurdles of beginning a web business and managing it, all from one single system. Far from being a simple shopping cart technology, FastCommerce Small Business e-Commerce technology is enterprise in scope with the goal of letting small companies and entrepreneurs run all aspects of their business from a fully integrated single system. It is affordable small business enterprise e-commerce at a small business price.

Vacation In Your Own Backyard

Creating a Staycation Retreat in Your Own Backyard

In tough economic times, homeowners are planning at-home vacations
Home & Garden III

ROSEVILLE, Minn.-- June 12, 2008 --From rising airfares and gasoline prices, to the hassle and stress of travel itself, there are a number of factors driving the ideal vacation spot closer to home.

In fact, many homeowners are opting to create a vacation spot in their own backyard. Dubbed a "staycation," this at-home retreat is characterized by finding rest, relaxation and the amenities of a vacation in the comfort of one's home.

"Whether the reason is to save money or avoid the hassle of traveling, vacationing at home allows for enjoyable time off without unnecessary worry," said Michelle Sahlin, managing director, Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA). "By planning ahead and creating an outdoor living room, homeowners don't need to travel around the world to get rest and relaxation."

Vacations often lead to visions of sitting under a canopy or awning, drinking a glass of lemonade and enjoying beautiful scenery or landscape. Another vision is spending time with family, playing games and enjoying a few good meals. Whether vacationers opt for tranquility or activity, it can be achieved with a staycation.

Just like a vacation, a staycation requires some preparation. Here are some items to consider prior to the time off:

    * Establish the official staycation timeline: To avoid falling into the daily routine around the house, create a start and end date to the staycation so it is a true vacation.

    * Brighten the landscape: A freshly mowed lawn and flowers in bloom brighten any backyard. Plant a variety of flowers, update the landscape and incorporate a waterfall, fountain or focal point.

    * Create an outdoor living room or kitchen: Extending outdoor living is one of the latest trends. And there's no better time to have the new outdoor living room ready in time for enjoyable summer weather. By adding an awning or canopy over a deck or patio, the living space is versatile in a variety of weather conditions. A grill, cozy furniture, speakers and ambient lighting can also compliment the area.

    * Stock up on games: From bocce ball and croquet to badminton and horseshoes, there are plenty of backyard games well-suited for family and friends. A game of cards or board games also make for more low-key activities.

    * Find a good book: Grab a few good reads - a newly released book, a classic tale and a few favorite magazines.

    * Plan a luau: Just because a flight to Hawaii is out of the picture for now, it doesn't mean a luau can't take place. Grab all the essentials - leis, tiki torches, pineapple, mango, a roast and Hawaiian music. Preparing for the evening ahead of time allows for easy implementation and enjoyment during the staycation.

    * Plan a real vacation: After the staycation is complete, it's time to plan a real vacation, away from home. Determine ways to save and budget for a future getaway after enjoying the comforts of home.

About PAMA

The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA), a division of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), is the only international trade association committed to the awning industry. PAMA membership is open to companies who are current members of IFAI and manufacture or sell awnings, as well as those who supply goods/services to the awning industry.

PAMA maintains two Web sites - www.awninginfo.com, which focuses on association members and commercial awning use, and www.awningstoday.com, which educates consumers about awnings and awning benefits.

Some people with powerful computers can load virtual reality software and use their computer to take a "virtual vacation", but check your computer's memory first. The software demands so much from your computer to create the illision that you may need a computer memory upgrade. Others take a vacation from work on a perniment basis. They do this by searching listings of telecommuting jobs. Once they get a job that can be done while telecommuting they don't ever have to leave their home to go to work.

Veteran divorce attorney Robert Busch has just released, "How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide", a 73 page book written for California residents who are considering divorce and know little, if anything, about California divorce law.

Divorce law is neither simple or easy. Whether or not lawyers are involved, there is critical information people must know if they have any hope of getting a fair settlement or favorable court ruling, should the matter go to court. Relying solely on attorneys is usually a big mistake.

Anyone hoping to win their divorce must be prepared. How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, provides the reader with almost 17 years of lessons, strategies, tactics and checklists to help the reader get everything she is entitled to under California law.

How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, also provides important information about preparing and filing the initial paperwork. Doing this wrong can result in the loss of significant property and/or support rights.

Plans to Bring Destination Retail to Canterbury Park Announced

Canterbury Park and Red Development Announce Plans to Bring Destination Retail to Canterbury Park

The proposed development would enhance the entire Canterbury experience

SHAKOPEE, Minn.-- June 05, 2008 --Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (AMEX:ECP) today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with RED Development, LLC, a Kansas City based retail developer, to be its exclusive partner in a proposed retail and entertainment development on part of the Company's property in Shakopee, Minnesota. The goal of the proposed development is to build upon Canterbury Park's position as one of Minnesota's best known entertainment venues to create a dynamic, multi-faceted retail and entertainment destination in one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

The proposed development will be integrated into the existing Racetrack and Card Club property to expand dining, shopping and retail opportunities to visitors of the park, as well as provide entertainment options to visitors of the new destination development. It is expected that the proposed development will be conducted in phases and will be located on land that is currently unused or underutilized.

Before construction of the project can begin, a number of conditions must be satisfied, including development of a mutually agreeable master plan, signing of definitive agreements between Canterbury Park and RED related to the proposed development, input from and approval by the City of Shakopee and Scott County, approval by the Minnesota Racing Commission, and arranging financing for the project.

Also among RED's more than 30 projects is The Legends at Village West located in Kansas City, Kansas. The Legends combines almost 1.5 million square feet of retail and entertainment and has attracted a great deal of national acclaim.

"We could not be more thrilled about this partnership," said Randy Sampson, President and CEO of Canterbury Park, "RED's experience in creating dynamic destination developments like the Legends project in Kansas City make them a perfect partner for us."

Steve Graham, Vice President of Destination Development for RED also commented: "We look forward to working with Canterbury Park, as well as the City of Shakopee and Scott County, to design a project that will be a first class asset to the City of Shakopee and a magnet for visitors to the region."

Physician Office Program for COPD and Asthma Management

Angeion Corporation Launches Physician Office Program for COPD and Asthma Management

Company to Help Physicians Earlier Diagnose Respiratory Diseases that Affect More Than 25 Million Americans

ST. PAUL, Minn.-- June 02, 2008 --Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN) today announced that it has launched its Physician Office Program for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma management. Through aggressive, targeted marketing efforts, Angeion will work to increase physician awareness of COPD and the company's non-invasive cardiorespiratory systems that facilitate early diagnosis-and treatment-of the condition.

COPD is characterized by progressive obstruction of the airflow of the lungs and increased shortness of breath-which is often not diagnosed until after some lung capacity is already lost. Diseases included under the umbrella of COPD include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and refractory asthma.

According to the COPD Foundation, an individual dies of COPD every 4 minutes in the United States. Currently, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death, and is expected to be the third leading cause by 2020. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that COPD and asthma affect more than 25 million Americans and result in more than 20 million physician office visits every year. Moreover, another 25 million Americans are believed to be either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Worldwide, an estimated 600 million people suffer from COPD.

"COPD is insidious, and it's affecting more and more people every year," said Rodney A. Young, Angeion's president and chief executive officer. "To date, Angeion's chief focus has been on bringing our cardiorespiratory technology and expertise to the hospital market. With today's announcement, we are broadening our approach across the healthcare continuum to reach more physicians who may see COPD patients. Through our Physician Office Program, it's our goal to work with the medical community to better educate and equip all physicians, regardless of specialty, to quickly and accurately diagnose the condition so that it can be treated earlier-resulting in more lives saved and less financial stress on today's healthcare system."

According to Young, Angeion's Physician Office Program reflects the company's commitment to early COPD detection. Specific components of the program include:

    * A significant marketing focus, redirecting existing resources to educate and inform physicians, from pulmonologists to general practitioners and internists, about COPD and Angeion's unique diagnostic product offering;
    * A comprehensive suite of educational and sales collateral materials; and
    * Cost-effective equipment leasing programs

Angeion's cardiorespiratory systems, and particularly its recently introduced Medical Graphics Platinum EliteT Series plethysmograph, provide the ability to effectively measure pulmonary function in the diagnosis of airway diseases, including COPD. In doing so, physicians benefit from:

    * Improved patient care-complete pulmonary diagnostic capability
    * Enhanced practice management-effectively and timely management of patients increases patient retention; and
    * Easy, rapid testing-physicians are able to perform a complete pulmonary function study in approximately 20 minutes.

Said Young, "Through our Physician Office Program we'll heighten awareness of COPD and give physicians the tools to quickly and effectively diagnose the disease, provide a new growth catalyst for the company, and most important, help save more lives."
