AUSTIN, TX, Feb 21, 2008 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

(Pink Sheets: HCFE - News) is proud to announce that Holmes S. Stoner, Chairman of the Pacific Rim Chamber of Commerce based in Marina del Rey, California, has joined Healthy Coffee USA as a member of its Board of Advisers.

Virtual Ed Link Inc. (OTC: VRED) (Wed, February 20th, 2008, 8:56am ET) Virtual Ed Link Inc., the developer and marketer of the leading edge technology platform for VELI's School Safety Management System (SSMS), announced today that it has gained placement in BOCES, the New York state aided procurement program.

BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) in New York State qualifies vendors in the CoSer (Cooperative Services Agreements) program as a service to the more than 600 school districts in the state which spend over $5 billion annually on goods and services for the school systems. Over 80% of New York schools use BOCES to purchase Information Technology services which represents the VELI category. The acceptance of Virtual Ed Link in the BOCES CoSer contract program is a testament to the reputation VELI has earned for implementing its comprehensive solution on time and on budget.

CEO John Bay stated: "Securing this approval is a significant step for both us and schools concerned about bolstering their security measures. Qualifying schools can now easily channel state funds toward establishing the VELI solution at their respective campuses."

South Colonie is one of the school campuses in which the VELI System is in the final project delivery phase. Michael Marcelle, Superintendent of Schools for South Colonie Central School District in Upstate New York, said: "Our confidence in the VELI staff and solution is unlimited. We've found they deliver what they promise!"

Virtual Ed Link has made significant progress since our inception. The demand for VELI's life-saving product continues to grow at an accelerated rate that we did not anticipate. Virtual Ed Link's focus is to establish our SSMS as the standard for school safety. At this time we feel it is prudent to raise our 2008 revenue forecast from $3 million to $4-6 million.


Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. (OTC: BDGR) (Wed, February 20th, 2008, 8:15am ET) Mr. Joseph Lanza, President of Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. announced today that he has received updates from the Funding Group and Summit Resource Management (Summit Team) concerning the status of their efforts.

The Funding Group has completed its own independent audit and financial review of the Black Dragon financials for the full year 2007. While their detailed audit results were not provided to Black Dragon, the Funding Group has reported that there were no findings that would prevent the planned investment of capital in the Company.

Last week, the Summit Team presented its initial findings and recommendations for Black Dragon to the Funding Group. The Summit report provided a proprietary and confidential forecast and analysis of a portfolio of investment opportunities for enhancing the production rate of wells presently in production and reservoir recovery with varying levels of cash investment in the Black Dragon properties. Those study results are currently being evaluated by the Funding Group to determine the appropriate timing and levels of investment. The Funding Group is evaluating Summit's report and expects to provide a recommendation to Black Dragon in the very near future. In the mean time, the Summit team is continuing its efforts and is fine-tuning development plans for the Company's assets.

Mr. Lanza also cautioned shareholders not to rely on unauthorized or false rumors or statements, including those made on internet bulletin boards by persons with motives, apparently counter to shareholder value or the shareholders' best interests. Mr. Lanza added that he believes that "there has been a long-standing short position in the common stock, and the anticipated upcoming announcements will probably not be favorable to those who hold short positions in the stock."
