APRU (.06) Garden Beverage, Apple Rush Distribution Arm, Hosts First Retailer Appreciation Event
Thursday, June 12 2008 10:28 AM, EST
PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple Rush (Pink Sheets: APRU) is pleased to announce the great success of its Garden Beverage sponsored dinner event held for its Retail Customers. The event was co-sponsored by the brands Atomic Dogg, Extenze Dietary Supplement Drink, Pump Fitness Vitamin Waters, Apple Rush Sparkling Juices and e water.
Garden's management decided that this type of event was an effective way to directly reach each of the retailers to generate new or expand existing sales. Over 100 retailers attended the dinner, which was held at a Gourmet restaurant in a southwest suburb of Chicago . Garden's sales team pitched in and helped with hosting. Each attending brand did a presentation of their respective beverage's attributes and benefits.
Robert Corr, CEO of Apple Rush remarked, "We planned this event to create awareness of our existing and new beverages. After careful research of the customer base scheduled to attend, we decided to serve a high quality Hal Lal prepared meal. The response to the food was extraordinary. All of the sponsored beverages were served to the attendee at their table in what amounted to a controlled sampling in a lifestyle setting. The event in our estimation was a success and we expect a positive affect on our sales. Plans for a larger dinner in the near future are in the works to accommodate a good number of our retailers from another area of our distribution territory. There is nothing like hands on, face to face sales, in a casual setting. We felt like one big family trying to help each other grow. As the word gets out about this event, we are expecting over 500 attendees at the next dinner slated for mid summer."

IWDM (.025) Video Gamers Tuning to Guitar Heroes Online for Music to Play, Practice and Purchase
Thursday, June 12 2008 10:00 AM, EST
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
TAMPA, Fla .--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Last month, radio consultant Jacobs Media's Tech Survey IV: Rock-Based Video Games found that music-based video games are having a significant, positive impact on music discovery and sales. Nearly one-third of players surveyed said they've purchased songs featured in the popular video music games Guitar Hero (Activision) and Rock Band (Harmonix/MTV Games).
More new versions have been announced for release soon (Guitar Hero on Tour on 6/22, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on 6/29, Rock Band for Wii on 6/29, and Guitar Hero 4 in Fall 2008, with Guitar Hero: Metallica and Rock Band 2 reported to be in the works), and Chris Martin of rock band Coldplay recently announced that his band has added a new song to Guitar Hero, for the first time.
Clearly, music-based video game players are becoming game changers when it comes to rock music - and are one reason why Internet radio pioneer RadioIO launched Guitar Heroes (www.radioio.com/channels/guitar-heroes) earlier this year. Guitar Heroes is the first streaming music channel that plays nothing but the guitar-driven rock music found in today's hot music video games. Now any player, at any time, anywhere can log on and hear tracks especially selected for "guitar heroes" in "rock bands."
The idea for Guitar Heroes was suggested by a RadioIO listener, who wanted to hear more songs that she and her son could use to improve their Guitar Hero-playing skills together. "Sure, we take requests for entire music channels, not just songs," laughed RadioIO founder Mike Roe. "But because gamers and Internet radio listeners are two groups that are always ahead of the curve when it comes to Internet usage and music entertainment, it made perfect sense for RadioIO to put the two together by creating Guitar Heroes."
The job of developing and managing Guitar Heroes fell to longtime RadioIO music director Robert Goodman. "I realized it would be cool to create a channel that plays all the tracks from both series of games, all unlockable content as well as all downloadable content," he explained.
From his home base in Orange Park, Florida , Goodman crafts sets of songs that are played along to by many of the more than 220,000 music fans who tune in to Guitar Heroes every month. The channel features rock tracks including "Sabotage" (Beastie Boys), "Barracuda" (Heart), "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (Lenny Kravitz), "Cult of Personality" (Living Colour), "Even Flow" (Pearl Jam), "Kool Thing" (Sonic Youth), "Rock and Roll All Nite" (Kiss), "Rock of Ages" (Def Leppard), "Welcome to the Jungle" (Guns N' Roses) and "One" (Metallica). And Goodman does take and play song requests, as do all RadioIO music directors.
Guitar Heroes is one of 60 proprietary music channels streaming at www.RadioIO.com. Launched as a single music stream in 1999 by music lover Roe in his home, RadioIO ("radio EYE-OH", for "Internet only"), the world's first publicly-traded Internet radio operation, has grown into one of the Internet's most resilient music brands. RadioIO is featured on directories including iTunes, WindowsMedia.com and Real.com, and enjoys more than 30 integral partnerships with Palm, Philips, Sonos, Escient and Slim Devices, among others. Wireless access is available via RadioIO's IO2go service, or any SmartPhone. To experience and learn more about RadioIO, go to www.radioIO.com.
About RadioIO:
RadioIO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IOWorld Media, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IWDM), which is headquartered in Tampa, Florida , and is dedicated to identifying, testing and marketing innovative consumer media alternatives.

Business Wire "US Press Releases "
TAMPA, Fla .--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
nFinanSe Inc. (OTCBB:NFSE), today announced that the Company raised $10.7 million through the issuance of 1,417,500 shares of its common stock, 3,937,500 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,677,500 shares of its common stock. This amount includes the exchange of approximately 1,120,000 shares of common stock and 560,000 warrants purchased in March 2008 and May 2008 for $2.8 million , or $2.50 per share. Each share of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. Both the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the common stock were sold at the purchase price of $2.00 per share.

In addition, the Company has closed on its previously announced $15.5 million accounts receivable line of credit with certain institutional investors and shareholders of the Company, including Ballyshannon Partners, LP , an affiliate of one of its directors.

Thursday, June 12 2008 9:35 AM, EST
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
NEW YORK --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. ("Perf Go Green") (OTCBB: PGOG, www.perfgogreen.com), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, has raised $3.175 million in its second round of funding.
"Securing our second round of funding further demonstrates the financial community's belief in the potential of Perf Go Green and the movement toward more environmentally conscious products," said Michael Caridi, Chief Operating Officer, Perf Go Green. "These additional funds will enable us to quickly respond to consumer demand for distribution of Perf Go Green by hiring additional senior leadership and undertaking new product research and development and marketing and awareness campaigns."
Earlier this month, the company announced the completion of its share exchange transaction and related financing with Perf Go Green, Inc. (the "Reverse Merger") and commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol "PGOG." In total, the company has raised over $8 million .
Perf Go Green patented products are made of recycled plastics that are combined with an Oxo-Biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for the bags. When discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, Perf Go Green products biodegrade, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, the company effectively removes plastic waste from the environment.
Founded in November 2007 , Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago , where its products received an honor for their design quality and innovation. In addition to offering its products online, Perf Go Green is rolling out its first items in nationwide chain stores later this year.

MVTG (.20) International Energy Agency Announces that $45 Trillion is Needed to Prevent Energy Shortages and Minimize GHG - Mantra's ERC Technology Will Contribute
Thursday, June 12 2008 9:30 AM, EST
PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
SEATTLE, WA , June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (Mantra) releases its latest information on the on-going commercialization of its ERC technology.
The International Energy Agency warns in a speech ( June 6, 2008 ) that, "investment totaling $45 trillion might be needed over the next half-century (1.1% of the annual global output over the period to 2050) to prevent energy shortages and greenhouse gas emissions from undermining global economic growth". This is substantial, given that James Cameron, Vice Chair of Climate Change Capital, is quoted on June 10, 2008 as saying, " $57 trillion in private capital...currently exists". But the investment is needed over a 50 year span and the world economy is expected to grow during that time.
IEA went on to discuss technologies for "weaning the world off oil". They propose that investments of $100 to $200 billion per year will be needed over the next 10 years, rising to $1 trillion to $2 trillion a year in the following decades.
John Russell, Vice-President of Mantra remarks, "It is clear that carbon management is not going to be an inexpensive undertaking. Managing carbon is going to be big business for the next 2 generations at least." Mantra is well placed to make a contribution with its proven ERC (electro reduction of CO(2)) technology: it uses CO(2) as a raw material and makes a valuable chemical that can be used to power a fuel cell. ERC is not yet a fully developed product, but promises to be a significant alternative to CCS (carbon capture and sequestration).
It has these advantages: there is a payback for the users rather than cost only (the economics are projected to be very different). With CCS, it is expected to be decades before it's in use by utilities and industry, and 2050 before it is in common use. Once CCS has placed volumes of CO(2) underground, the gas may continue to be a risk. ERC can be available much sooner, at less cost, and with no risk.
"Both CCS and ERC technologies have their advantages and both will be required to meet the size and urgency of the carbon management requirement," says Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra.
As of June 1, 2008 , ERC has been moved to the Mantra lab where it is being optimized; while worldwide patenting continues. Pilot project sized units are projected to be available within 12 months. A 100 metric ton per day plant is projected to be available to customers within 24 months and a 600 metric ton per day plant will follow shortly thereafter. The fuel cell is planned to be developed concurrently.
Based on the sums of money required for carbon management and the multi-billion dollar market projected for CCS, the long-term market for ERC is expected to be similarly large. A precise market projection must await certain figures which will be refined during the optimization phase.
Mantra will be issuing regular updates on ERC to its public thru its web site, press releases and interviews. Some industries interested in hosting a demonstration of the ERC technology have made contact with Mantra - valuable projects tend to flow from established relationships.
About Mantra
Mantra, through its group of sustainable energy, carbon reduction and consumer product subsidiaries, is set to enter the burgeoning green technology marketplace with an innovative, multi-faceted approach focused on profitability through sustainability. By aggressively seeking out new technologies and innovating solutions for a cleaner earth, Mantra intends to provide a highly profitable and, more importantly, socially and environmentally responsible investment for its shareholders.

Market Wire "US Press Releases "
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/11/08 -- All American Pet Company, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AAPT) -- the manufacturer and distributor of nutrition-based dog food -- announces the introduction of its new online marketing program to support the introduction of its new line of premium gourmet dry dog food "All Day-Every Day."
Ms. Lisa Bershan, President, stated, "Important in marketing of our new line of products is the education of consumers through use of the internet to build awareness of our new product line 'All Day-Every Day' along with our 'Breakfast Brand' Products. We believe that an innovative viral marketing campaign will serve to educate consumers about the value of our high nutrition dog food and build brand recognition."
We were the first company to target the morning meal for dogs which gained us placement in over 7,000 supermarkets and now we plan to create direct distribution to the mass merchant retailers and big box chains supported by an interactive online presence. We have contracted with a digital marketing company for a series of web sites that feature content and interactivity as the main focus. The sites are being designed to promote our brands and educate consumers using the site about benefits of our products and "why" the consumer should feed our products to their pets for health and growth. All American Pet's products are manufactured in the U.S. under strict manufacturing guidelines and contain 100% American made ingredients.
Mr. Barry Schwartz, CEO, stated, "We remain focused on our core business and the retail markets for our product lines. Our management team is mindful of the challenges facing the company. Strategic alternatives continue to be explored that include operating under a revised business plan, licensing the company's products to others, reviewing the capital structure and identifying strategic partnerships with other innovated pet product companies among other possibilities."
About All American Pet Company, Inc. :
We formulate, produce, sell and distribute a growing group of super-premium dog food developed with leading pet nutritionists with all products being manufactured and sourced in the U.S. Our first brand was BowWow Breakfast Cereal, which was available in over 7,000 supermarkets throughout the U.S. Additionally, products have now been developed to coincide with a trend towards the humanization of dogs and are targeted at mass market retailers and big box stores.
