Safe Harbor Statement
Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford, USAF (Ret.), NASA Astronaut, as Chairman at Action Products International, Offers Insight into Computer and Hard Drive Technology of the Future
Lt. General Thomas Stafford, a retired NASA astronaut, joins Action Products as Chairman of the Board. He discusses with interviewer Kenn Kerr his experience and knowledge of the technology world, where it's headed, and why he's excited about APII
NEW YORK, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Action Products International, Inc. (OTCPK: $APII) has chosen to take Sir Isaac Newton's advice to see further, and in doing so, they too will stand on the shoulders of giants. APII's lift off will be with space pioneer and astronaut, Lieutenant General Thomas Stafford (Ret.), who was named this week as the company's Chairman of the Board. Kenn Kerr had the honor of sitting down to meet with the man former Senator and astronaut John Glenn called "an expert on everything he touched."
Lt. General Thomas Stafford (Ret.), NASA Astronaut (Former), has long been a trailblazer and has pioneered his way to the doorstep of greatness, time and time again. After graduating with honors from the US Naval Academy, he began making America great with a storied career in the military, 13 years with NASA and serving on many corporate boards. One thing is clear: General Stafford has been a busy man. So busy in fact, he earned a coveted teaching position at the Harvard School of Business while in the Air Force, and 3 days into the job, he left when NASA called asking him to join President Kennedy's charge to get to the moon within the decade.
A man can be judged by the words of his peers, and General Stafford is summed up with a string of impressive adjectives and accolades. He's been called "a visionary," "a dreamer," and it's been said, "If you want to get a job done, then Tom Stafford is the go-to guy." He's spent over 500 hours in space where he piloted the first rendezvous in space, commanded the first flight of the lunar module to the moon, performed the first rendezvous around the moon, and served as Apollo commander for the historic first meeting in space between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts. He was also instrumental in Stealth Technology being added to the U.S. combat arsenal.
How has your military background and 13 years with NASA prepared you for the Boardroom?
Throughout my Air Force career and as an astronaut, I was in research and development and then later as Deputy Chief of Staff I moved into acquisitions. I started the B-2 Stealth Bomber and the F-117A Stealth Fighter so I had to interface constantly with top management at all the big aerospace firms. As an astronaut we met all the time particularly in those days because everything was a new step that had never been done before and we were on the cutting edge of technology. I had to justify every penny of every project to Congress, so I understand financing, budgets and how to get things done. I have learned it takes more than just an idea. You have to set policy, obtain financing, and have the right management in place to succeed.
During the heart of the Cold War, you headed up the US team that joined a Russian team in space for several days on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. How were you able to pull this off with the rival Soviets when it's rare to get a group to agree on anything these days?
We used common sense, we kept it strictly professional and kept politics out of it, and it worked great. We had 6 to 8 thousand strategic warheads and a few thousand tactical nukes aimed at each other, and in spite of all that, we demonstrated to the world that two "super powers" could work together and achieve a common goal.
What piques your interest with Action Products?
The main thing is the merger with Core Wafer Systems, and what they can do to help really streamline and test the reliability of components both in semiconductors and in magnetics in hard disk drives. Core Wafer has the technology software and hardware to test those items. With 600 to 800 million hard disk drives being produced in the world this year, that's a lot of testing to be sure those are good components going into each one. We can test them with various rigors and anomalies and predict their lifetime. It's a great technical leap to me.
You've served on the board of several respected companies; including Fisher Scientific and Seagate Technologies, the largest independent disk drive maker globally. How has each experience shaped you?
This is the smallest public company I have been on. The largest had $32 billion in revenues and the smallest produced $300 million. After serving with 14 NYSE companies and one AMEX company, I have a lot of corporate governance experience to offer. With each appointment, I have taken something away from that Board, and used it to improve business on the next.
After such an amazing, high adrenaline career, what still motivates you to get involved?
I love ideas, I love improving products and I am always thinking and finding solutions. I like to know why you can do something instead of why you can't. And, after being in space the rest is a piece of cake.
******
General Stafford could be the icing on the cake for Action Products International to forge a strong future, and if his passion and curiosity are indicative of what's on the horizon, shareholders are in exceptional hands.

Building Turbines, Inc. Executes Letter of Intent to Acquire Eco-Wind Solutions and the Company's Distribution Rights for the Windtronics Honeywell EWS 6500 Wind Generator
AUSTIN, TX, Mar 15, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Building Turbines, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDW), a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial rooftop wind turbine systems and other renewable energy technologies, announced today that it has executed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Eco-Wind Solutions, Inc. (EWS). Complete terms were not disclosed; however, an integral part of the agreement set terms whereby the sales staffs from both companies can begin cross-selling each company's products effective immediately.
John Graham, CEO of Building Turbines, Inc., said, "The LOI will afford technology and sales to Building Turbines while providing ready-to-ship and ready-to-implement products to EWS. The combination of the BT5000 vortex unit and the Windtronics Honeywell Wind Generator unit will bring consumers ultimate wind energy production capacity, LEED registration points, and Federal and State certified alternative energy credits. These benefits will be afforded to all clients secured by our newly expanded sales team.
"Based on industry growth projections, our acquisition of Eco-Wind is well-timed," continued Graham. Mr. Graham referenced a recent report called "Small Wind Power" issued in February 2012 by Pike Research, which forecasts that global revenues for small wind systems will more than double between 2010 and 2015, rising from $255 million to $634 million during that period. "Realizing the benefits Eco-Wind brings to our company, I believe Building Turbines is poised to take full advantage of these positive market trends over the long haul," added Graham.
Max Champie, COO of Building Turbines, said, "The Windtronics Honeywell Wind Generator nicely complements our patented BT5000 Turbine. Our horizontal-axis rooftop turbine is designed for higher winds, while the Eco-Wind turbine is better suited for lower winds, can be installed in tight spaces and is much more portable."
Janet Asarch, president of EWS, said, "We at EWS are pleased to be joining forces with Building Turbines. I believe the combination of our two companies could lead to one of the market's most innovative alternative energy companies. As we establish a solid domestic book of business, I can envision our customers with international operations also wanting to deploy our renewable energy wind products in their operations worldwide."
About Building Turbines, Inc. Based in Austin, Texas, Building Turbines, Inc. is a renewable energy company focused primarily on designing, manufacturing and deploying revolutionary rooftop mounted horizontal-axis wind turbines. For more information visit their website at www.buildingturbines.com, or email them at investor@buildingturbines.com.
About Eco-Wind Solutions, Inc. Eco-Wind Solutions, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of small wind turbines and accessories based in Houston, TX. The company currently distributes units for Honeywell WindTronics(R) systems. The WindTronics Blade Tip Power System(TM) has the lowest start-up and "cut-in" wind speed in the wind industry. This allows the BTPS system to be more responsive to fluctuations in wind speed because of its low friction blade tip perimeter power generator system. The systems offered are portable, light weight, and ideal for low wind zones making opportunities to partner with larger distributors around the globe more accessible.
