Aerosmith Teams with Paid Inc.'s Celebrity Services division to Manage Aerosmith
Fan Club Including Ticket Presales and Backstage Fan Experiences;
Multi-faceted Contract Includes New Revenue Streams
WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paid, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: PAYD) a cutting-edge developer of celebrity web sites and
services and ecommerce software, announced today that it has entered into an
agreement with Aerosmith's holding company to manage all aspects of the band's
official fan club, Aero Force One, also known as AF1. The two-year contract is
valued between $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 in gross revenues, pending the band's
touring schedule. It includes new revenue streams benefiting Paid, Inc., and
an equity provision for Aerosmith band members.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20041014/NYTH072 )
"We owe our success to the fans who have supported us through the years,"
AEROSMITH said in a joint statement. "We spent a great deal of time and
effort to select a fan club management company that can help reward our fans
for their loyalty. After reviewing dozens of companies, we selected Paid,
Inc.'s Celebrity Services division because we believe they demonstrate an
appreciation for the relationships between celebrities and their fans. They
have a true understanding of what types of activities, events and merchandise
attract and satisfy Aerosmith fans and keep them coming back for more."
Under the terms of the contract, the Celebrity Services division of Paid,
Inc. will seamlessly assume responsibility for AF1's promotional programs and
its web site (http://www.aeroforceone.com). It will fully integrate fan-
management services with Aerosmith's other affiliations, including the record
label, radio sponsors and Internet partners.
In addition, Paid, Inc.'s Celebrity Services will create and market a wide
variety of new, innovative ways to participate in the Aerosmith fan community
experience. AF1's more than 120,000 registered fans -- and the approximately
21,000 fan club members -- will have access to exclusive event opportunities
and online content, allowing fans to connect with AF1, the band and each
other.
"Aerosmith has one of the largest fan clubs of any music group, and we're
tremendously excited about the opportunity to put our proven expertise to work
for the band and its fans," said Greg Rotman, CEO of Paid, Inc. "We share a
vision for taking the fan experience to new levels. We're developing unique
velvet rope packages, special events and competitions exclusively for fan club
members that will blow their minds. Aerosmith 'Battle of the Bands'
competitions judged by a representative from the band, a series of fan club
member parties across the country, online treasure hunts and a virtual museum
of archived Aerosmith memorabilia provided by the fans are just a few of the
ideas that we anticipate introducing. This is a win-win-win situation for
Aerosmith, Paid, Inc. and fans, as all benefit from improved customer service
and fulfillment and a broader array of product and event package offerings."
The contract with Aerosmith marks a milestone in the execution of Paid's
previously announced strategy of expanding its Celebrity Services division
capabilities into the music and entertainment industries. With the
significant expansions planned for the fan club and the addition of the online
merchandising opportunities enabled by Paid's unique ecommerce business model,
Paid seeks to achieve gross revenues upward of $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 in a
touring year. Revenues in a non-touring year are expected to be lower.
Among the newly planned services creating additional revenue are expanded
"Velvet Rope" experiences, travel packages and new programs and events. For
example, with a premium "Velvet Rope" package purchase, Paid anticipates fans
will be treated to special backstage tours at concerts; attend VIP pre- or
post- concert events; and receive upgraded concert seats and/or upgraded
travel packages or other benefits. Paid also is proposing expanded
merchandising programs to include new limited-edition memorabilia with unique
items added based on fans' suggestions. The AF1 web site also will offer live
chats, message boards and games. An AF1 Affinity Fan Card also is being
planned with real dollars off at the AF1 online store and discounts at other
vendors.
"Aerosmith fans are incredibly loyal and supportive of the band and we
believe that they should be treated with the utmost respect and care," said
Greg Rotman. "We believe our investment to reach out to these long-time fans
will build an invaluable level of trust between Paid and Aerosmith's fans."
The contract with Aerosmith marks a milestone in the execution of Paid's
previously announced strategy of expanding its Celebrity Services division
capabilities into the music and entertainment industries.

NEOM .068 NeoMedia Micro Paint Signs Distribution Agreement for Products
and Systems With Buying Consortium for New Car Franch
B: NeoMedia Micro Paint Signs Distribution Agreement for Products and Systems Wi
h Buying Consortium for New Car Franchised Dealers in Western Canada
FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug 2, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NeoMedia Technologies, Inc.
(OTC BB: NEOM), said today that its Micro Paint Repair Systems business unit has
signed a distribution agreement with MDA Co-Auto Ltd., the largest buying
consortium for new car franchised dealers in Western Canada.
The agreement, which runs through 2006, provides exclusive rights to MDA (Motor
Dealer's Association) Co-Auto, and would generate a minimum of $2 million to
NeoMedia if the minimum sales target is achieved. Based in Edmonton, MDA Co-Auto
has 1,050 member dealers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
and the Yukon, who are franchised dealers for virtually all cars, including
Ford(R), General Motors(R), Chrysler(R), Honda(R), Toyota(R), BMW(R),
Volkswagen(R) and Audi(R).
'Targeting the Worldwide Auto Aftermarket'
"NeoMedia Micro Paint is targeting the worldwide auto aftermarket," said Art
Gilfus, the company's vice president of Global Sales. "Here, for example, MDA
Co-Auto will private-label our products and system for sale to its member
dealers, who should then be able to quickly and efficiently repair paint on new
cars damaged in transport, trade in or leased vehicles and cars brought in by
customers.
"NeoMedia is also actively marketing to stand-alone body and repair shops, auto
glass specialists, and entrepreneurially-driven businesses which want to add to
or create a new profit center," he said.
This is the second major distribution agreement for NeoMedia Micro Paint in
recent months. In June it took a major step toward worldwide expansion by
contracting with Micro Paint Systems (Australasia) Limited of New Zealand to be
its exclusive distribution for products and systems there and in Australia.
Contingent on minimum sales targets being met, that agreement could produce
approximately $23 million in revenue to NeoMedia over the next five years.
New Paint System Can Boost Dealer Profits
Mike Reid, president of MDA Co-Auto, said his group "does everything we can to
help our member dealers get a handle on costs, and, when possible, create new
profits. That's where NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair Systems can really help. Now
member dealers should be able to grow the repair side of their businesses," he
said. "Micro paint repair can help them retain existing customers while gaining
incremental revenues from new customers who bring their cars to the
dealerships."
While only about one-third of MDA Co-Auto's member dealers currently have body
and repair shows, Reid said that all 1,050 have service areas. "Because
NeoMedia's Micro Paint Repair System does not require special drying or baking
areas and is environmentally safe," said Reid, "these dealers can start offering
micro paint repair as soon as their personnel are trained."
Reid said MDA Co-Auto works with similar member dealer-owned buying consortiums
in Canada and the U.S. and that "we all learn from one another. As we roll-out
in September, we know they'll be watching our progress carefully on behalf of
their members," he said.
Repairs in Less Than an Hour
The proprietary NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair System uses a chemical adhesion
rather than old-fashioned mechanical adhesion, and completes undetectable
repairs of scratches, scrapes and blemishes on vehicles in a fraction of the
traditional time . . . usually less than an hour. "This incredibly quick
turnaround lets shops work on many more cars a day," said Gilfus. "In MDA
Co-Auto's case, dealers should be able to show increases in margins and profits
while satisfied customers can drive away in their perfectly-repaired cars rather
than lose use of them for one, two or even three days."
With the NeoMedia System, the area to be repaired is isolated, without extensive
and time-consuming masking or costly removal of panels or parts, much like
arthroscopic surgery, which allows repair of injuries to humans in a
far-less-invasive manner. Scratches down to bare metal, oxidized paint - even
high metallic, pearl and tri-coat finishes - can all be corrected with
NeoMedia's products and process, which employs proprietary technology and safe
materials, totally free from harmful isocyanates.

USUR :Citywide High Speed Wireless Network Launched Today in Rio Rancho, New Mexico
City of Rio Rancho, in Collaboration With Intel and Usurf Communications, Celebrates Historic Technological Achievement, Self-Christened 'Your Wireless Window to the World' RIO RANCHO, N.M. - PRNewswire-FirstCall - June 26
RIO RANCHO, N.M., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The City of Rio Rancho, in collaboration with Intel Corporation and Usurf Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Usurf America, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: USUR) , today launched its highly anticipated citywide Wi-Fi hotspot, which will ultimately cover 103 square miles (27 miles of contiguous wireless coverage) and offer unprecedented high-speed wireless data access to the City's 58,000 residents and its hundreds of business, government and civic organizations. City, State and collaborating corporate officials are commemorating this historical technological achievement with a major picnic celebration, self-christened "Your Wireless Window to the World," in Rio Rancho beginning at 10:30 A.M. today.
Once the citywide network is fully installed, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year, Rio Rancho's wireless network will permit users to connect to the Internet at speeds considerably faster than most DSL and cable modems. The wireless network, which utilizes Usurf Communications' proprietary UsurfMesh(C) technology, will offer equal download and upload speeds resulting in better performance for a wide variety of Internet applications, including virtual private networks (VPNs). If picnic attendees have a laptop with a modern Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology+ with built-in wireless capability, then they can enjoy the Centrino(TM) certified hotspot created at the event. If users have an older laptop that does not have built-in wireless technology, they simply need to purchase a PC Card or USB connected external Wi-Fi transceiver to access the Internet.
"Rio Rancho is the latest example of how broadband wireless technologies can positively impact businesses, individuals, governments and entire cities," said Sean Maloney, executive vice president and general manager, Intel Communications Group. "The successful collaboration with the City of Rio Rancho and Usurf underscores the importance of working collectively to bring useful technology to cities and communities here and abroad."
Usurf Communications will be offering free wireless service for Rio Rancho residents and businesses through July 1, 2004, at which time, users may subscribe to the service for a monthly fee. Usurf's Wi-Fi system demonstrations and subscription services, as well as vendors offering discounted wireless products, will be featured at today's picnic celebration and situated in booths found in the main tent.
DETAILS FOR PICNIC CELEBRATION: When: TODAY -- 10:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Where: Haynes Park and Rosko Field (on the west side of NM 528 between 19th Avenue and Westside Boulevard, across the street from Intel) Who: Everyone is invited. Speakers: Mayor Jim Owen Intel VP of Technology & Manufacturing Group -- Tim G. Hendry Usurf Communications' President -- Kenneth J. Upcraft U.S. Senator Pete Domenici Spokesperson for U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman Spokesperson for U.S. Representative Tom Udall Spokesperson for U.S. Representative Heather Wilson Spokesperson for New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson New Mexico State Senator Joseph J. Carraro Parking: Public parking will be available at Intel on the east side and behind First Financial Credit Union (2201 Rio Rancho Blvd.) and Wellesley Suites on the west side of NM 528.
Reporters/media representatives can arrange technology demonstrations and face-to-face interviews by visiting the 'press table' on site at the picnic celebration. You may also visit http://www.rioranchowireless.com/ for more information.

"so bizarre even Einstein called it spooky": Scientists Transfer Info Between Atoms ( AP Online )
Jun 16, 2004 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- In a step toward making ultra-powerful
computers, scientists have transferred physical characteristics between atoms by
using a phenomenon so bizarre that even Albert Einstein called it spooky.
Such "quantum teleportation" of characteristics had been demonstrated before
between beams of light.
The work with atoms is "a landmark advance," H.J. Kimble of the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and S.J. van Enk of Bell Labs in
Murray Hill, N.J., declare in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
Two teams of scientists report similar results in that issue. One group was led
by David J. Wineland of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in
Boulder, Colo., and the other by Rainer Blatt of the University of Innsbruck in
Austria.
Teleportation between atoms could someday lie at the heart of powerful quantum
computers, which are probably at least a decade away from development, Wineland
said. Although his work moved information about atomic characteristics only a
tiny fraction of an inch, that's in the ballpark for what would be needed inside
a computer, he said.
His work involved transmitting characteristics between pairs of beryllium atoms,
while the Austrian work used pairs of calcium atoms. Each atom's "quantum
state," a complex combination of traits, was transmitted to its counterpart.
Key to the process was a phenomenon called entanglement, which Einstein derided
as "spooky action at a distance" before experiments showed it was real.
Basically, researchers can use lab techniques to create a weird relationship
between pairs of tiny particles. After that, the fate of one particle instantly
affects the other; if one particle is made to take on a certain set of
properties, the other immediately takes on identical or opposite properties, no
matter how far away it is and without any apparent physical connection to the
first particle.

(COMTEX) Attorney Says if SEC is Right, Blockbuster, NASDAQ, Waste Mana
ement Would Not Be Public ( financialwire.net )
B: Attorney Says if SEC is Right, Blockbuster, NASDAQ, Waste Management Would No
Be Public ( financialwire.net )
Jun 14, 2004 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) In another
"throw out the baby with the bath water" proposal, TheStreet.com
(NASDAQ: TSCM) characterized last week's suspension of 26 pink sheet companies
as the beginning of a search and destroy effort by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission to eventually eliminate all publicly traded companies formed
by reverse mergers.
A leading securities attorney, Marshal Shichtman, said that such a proposal is
odd given that NASDAQ (OTCBB: NDAQ) itself was brought public in this way. He
also Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI), whose majority owner is Viacom (NYSE: VIAb), and
Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WMI).
Shichtman said the SEC is right to correct regulatory oversights with respect to
companies that don't file reports or file improper reports, but noted that
neither reverse mergers nor pink sheet listing is itself a threat to
shareholders any more than the IPOs and NYSE listings are threats to
shareholders because of Enron (OTC: ENRNQ), Worldcom, now MCI (OTC: MCIA), Tyco
(NYSE: TYC) or HealthSouth (OTC: HLSH).
Last week, after a drought of six months when there were no trading suspensions,
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has made up for it in one swoop,
temporarily suspending 26 companies from trading.
Among those suspended until June 21 were CathayOne, Inc. (OTC: CATH), J. A. B.
Int'l, Inc. (OTC: JABI), Maxx Int'l, Inc. (OTC: MXII), Oasis Resorts Int'l, Inc.
(OTC: OSRI), Rollerball Int'l, Inc. (OTC: ROLL), U.S. Homes & Properties, Inc.
(OTC: USHM), Wichita Development Corp. (OTC: WHDV), Youthline USA, Inc. (OTC:
YLNE), and ATC II, Inc. (OTC: ATCA).
The remaining companies suspended, all for failing to make periodic reports and
providing current information, were Alcohol Sensors Int'l, Ltd. (OTC: ASIL),
Beachport Entertainment Corp. (OTC: BPRT), Biosonics, Inc. (OTC: BISN),
Compressent, Inc. (OTC: CSNE), Eye Cash Networks, Inc. (OTC: ECNI),

The SEC charged that at least 15 of the companies are connected to a single
stock promoter, attorney Richard Surber, 31, in Salt Lake City, who it says
takes "private companies public via reverse mergers with public shell
companies."
Although the SEC did not charge Surber, nephew of Allen Wolfson, a Salt Lake
City penny-stock promoter who was convicted last year on a variety of federal
securities fraud charges, with a crime, it stated that he receives cash fees of
$100,000 to $350,000 and about 3% equity interest in companies formed out of
reverse mergers. Surber is president of Nexia Holdings (OTCBB: NXIAE).
FinancialWire has learned that this is not outside the going rate, so it is not
clear why the SEC has specified these deal points as part of its allegations. In
an interview with TheStreet.com SEC spokesperson John Nestor was quoted as
saying the actions are "pre-emptive" against shell companies, and is intended to
wipe the market clean of stocks that are "ripe for manipulation."
TheStreet said that the SEC is "taking steps to stop those stocks from ever
trading again by seeking to revoke their registrations."
The publication said the action is "part of a new campaign by the SEC to
root out and stop trading in shares of so-called shell companies, businesses
that have largely ceased operations. Shares of shell companies, which trade on
the largely unregulated market known as the pink sheets, are popular targets of
stock manipulators."
It said the "crackdown will make it difficult for manipulators to use shell
stocks for 'pump and dump' schemes, a type of scam in which market charlatans
buy large blocks of worthless stock and then drive up the price of those shares
by making bogus claims about a company's prospects."
The SEC is said to also be targeting reverse mergers, which TheStreet.com
characterized as an "abuse." It said it is a "process in which a
private company backed by a group of manipulators purchases a shell company for
a nominal fee," although in most cases reverse mergers are believed to be
used by legitimate small companies hoping to enter the public marketplace.
The publication insinuated that the SEC considers each of the "1,300 shell
companies trading on the pink sheets and in other unregulated markets" as
being controlled by manipulators.
One of Nexia's subsidiaries is Hudson Consulting Group, a company that offers
financial consulting services to start-up businesses. In a regulatory filing,
TheStreet.com noted Hudson is said to specialize in "uncovering private
placement funding sources; strategic business planning; SEC registration
documentation; "edgarization" of SEC forms and filings ... and identifying
merger and acquisition opportunities."

(COMTEX)B: Doctor Proposes Not Treating Some Lawyers ( AP Online )
B: Doctor Proposes Not Treating Some Lawyers ( AP Online )
CHICAGO, Jun 13, 2004 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- A doctor's proposal asking the
American Medical Association to endorse refusing care to attorneys involved in
medical malpractice cases drew an angry response from colleagues Sunday at the
annual meeting of the nation's largest physicians group.
Many doctors stood up to denounce the resolution in passionate speeches - even
after its sponsor, Dr. J. Chris Hawk, asked that it be withdrawn.
Hawk, a South Carolina surgeon, said he made the proposal to draw attention to
rising medical malpractice costs. The resolution asks that the AMA tell doctors
that - except in emergencies - it is not unethical to refuse care to plaintiffs'
attorneys and their spouses.
"It expresses the frustration I have with a broken system," said Hawk. He said
doctors are leaving his state or retiring early because of insurance premiums -
making it harder for patients to receive care.
Neurologist Michael Williams said although he understood Hawk's frustration, the
resolution never should have been introduced because it seeks to discriminate
against a group of people.
The resolution left the AMA "a really big mess to clean up," Williams said.
For years, the AMA's top legislative lobbying priority has been the medical
malpractice system, and some delegates said the resolution could hurt those
efforts by giving trial lawyers ammunition.
AMA committees considered more than 250 reports and resolutions Sunday. The
committees will make recommendations to the group's delegates, who will begin
voting Monday afternoon on policies to adopt.

Implementation and Product Launch of the Second Generation Slices(TM) Technology
( MARKET WIRE )
LAS VEGAS, NV, Jun. 13, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- NanoSignal Corp. (OTC:
NNOS), developers of Slices(TM) technology to serve the MRI industry, is pleased
to announce the addition of a key strategic development partner.
NanoSignal Corp. CEO, Scott A. Ervin states, "In February, we established a core
team of three professionals who set about to develop and implement a plan for
commercialization that established a firm 67-point program with time lines. The
plan was adopted, implemented and continues being executed as I speak." Ervin
continues, "As a result of what has been accomplished since February, it is my
pleasure to announce the addition of development partners, WorldScape Inc., a
leading company providing advanced massively parallel processing technology.
They are an excellent complement to the existing previously announced
development partners BiTMICRO, StormCompany, Otha Linton and Ann Linton. This
development partnership will likely prove to be quite valuable as it increases
the quality and efficiency of our Slices(TM) product launch with outstanding
technical support, cutting edge technology and superior design. We plan to
conduct additional blind studies in the near-term, coordinated by Otha Linton, a
world renown radiology field veteran with The American College of Radiology."
NanoSignal Corp. believes that it now has a top professional "line-up" of key
development partners to officially and effectively introduce the Slices(TM)
product to major hospitals, MRI clinics, domestic and foreign governments and
also at the upcoming Chicago RSNA show.
In a closing comment, Ervin further added, "Five months ago these connections
were not even thought of until our core team was formed. We now have the ability
to defend the algorithms, educate and dazzle the audience with the world's
fastest super flash drive and chips. We expect to complete the current in-house
orders and the presales, which will further commercialize our Slices(TM) product
to benefit the global, military and medical communities. This is truly the best
strategy and team implemented to date."

B: GEMZ Corp. to Develop Solar-Powered Laptop Solution Using Nanofilms Which Com
ine Photovoltaic and Nanotechnology to Operate under Normal, Indoor Lighting Con
itions
NEW YORK, Jun 10, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GEMZ Corp., (OTC: GMZP - News)
announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Nanotechnology
Corporation (INC) is planning to develop a solar-powered solution for powering
laptop computers. INC previously announced that it had signed a letter of intent
with Terra Solar Development Corp., a leading developer of photovoltaic and
nanocell technology to acquire substantially all of its nanotechnology assets
and certain photovoltaic assets as well. The solar-powered laptop charger will
be the first product resulting from the planned combination.
While laptop users everywhere need a cost-effective device that can continually
power or recharge laptops without plugging them in, previous products use
crystalline or polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells don't do the job, as
they work only when they are recharged in direct sunlight. The INC product is
believed to be the first to use PV Nanofilms, which combine thin films and
nanotechnology so they it can also work indoors in most lighting situations.
Nanofilms have elements below 1000 and even below 100 nanometers. The National
Science Foundation (NSF) defines nanotechnology as consisting of components and
elements 1000 nanometers and under. (1 nanometer is one billions of a meter or
10 Angstroms).
Dr. Zoltan Kiss, who upon completion of the acquisition will become Chief
Executive Officer of INC and who is a noted inventor, with over thirty patents
to his credit said, "This planned new product is the first of what we expect
will be a family of consumer products that utilize nanotechnology to provide
cost-effective solutions to problems not previously solved with conventional
technology and which have wide consumer application."
The product is expected to be available for sampling in the fourth quarter of
2004. Pricing has not been announced but is expected to be very competitive with
older, more limited solutions.
