High Quality Web Domains Purchased In Large Block

Intelective Communications, Inc. Announces Purchase of Large Block of High Quality Domains

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 29, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Intelective Communications, Inc.(TM) (Pink Sheets: WPNC), an online media company that provides online advertising services and owns an online ad network of web sites, is today announcing the purchase of a block of approximately two hundred and fifty .com domains relating to the Travel and Real Estate vertical markets.

"Domain names are the real estate or vacant online property and web sites represent the buildings and/or improvement of this vacant land," said Lee Traupel, CEO of Intelective Communications, Inc. "There is a limited supply of quality domains and we consider domains as a strategic asset that will improve in value - we will continue to aggressively buy domains to accelerate the build out of our advertising network. Our intent is to also resell some percentage of these domains to generate immediate revenue and develop the rest, with text, audio and video content and to ultimately integrate them with our online advertising network.

"The domain registration and resale market is growing extremely fast, driven by the shortage of available high quality domains, especially those with a .com extension, which is all we are purchasing at this juncture. The actual number of registered domains has grown 800% since 2000 according to Verisign, with domain registrations reaching 120M in Q-4 of 2006, representing growth of 32% from the previous year. High quality domains with two to three words that identify a market segment and/or support an online brand are commanding resale prices of $2-5K or more per domain in many cases. We are already generating modest amounts of traffic which should increase as we buy more domains and deploy search engine optimization best practices."

May 30, 2007 - MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The best selling concert tour of all time, A Bigger Bang, is coming to living rooms across the country as one of the most ambitious music DVD sets in history.

Customers can pre-order the four DVD set at www.BestBuy.com beginning today. It will also be available in Canada at Best Buy stores as well as Future Shop stores.

The Biggest Bang will be released internationally mid-summer.

The Biggest Bang offers fans an all access pass including a behind-the-scenes look from the Rolling Stones' recent tour, A Bigger Bang - the biggest selling concert tour of all time. Additionally, the DVD set features full length concerts from the Rolling Stones historic show on Rio de Janeiro's famed Copacabana Beach, which was attended by two million concert goers, and a concert in Austin, Texas - a highlight of the U.S. tour.

"The Biggest Bang DVD set lets fans join us as we traveled around the world," said the Rolling Stones. "They will go behind the scenes at the Super Bowl, see us play an intimate club show in Toronto and for 2 million people on the beach in Rio, as well as gigs in Shanghai, Buenos Aires and Japan. It features classics but also rarities --- songs we've never released before on DVD."

The Biggest Bang is loaded with rare songs and music. It includes exciting never-before-released duets with artists including Dave Matthews, Bonnie Raitt and Eddie Vedder.

"It's great to be back with Best Buy, and we're pleased that they have decided to offer fans the same low price as they did with Four Flicks three years ago."

This marks the second time that Best Buy has worked with the Rolling Stones to release an exclusive DVD set. In 2003, Best Buy released Four Flicks, a four-DVD set from the Rolling Stones that was certified 19-times platinum and is the number one selling concert (long form) DVD in U.S. history.

"We're excited to bring our customers this exclusive DVD set giving fans an up close and personal look at the Rolling Stones and showcasing some of their most dynamic performances," said Gary Arnold, Best Buy's senior vice president of entertainment.

American Songwriter Magazine

American Songwriter

by Larry Dobrow, Thursday, May 24, 2007
AS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED in innumerable blog postings and after-work whines, the most challenging thing about life as a freelance writer is not always knowing what you'll be doing the day after tomorrow. I'm semi-immune to this -- come next Tuesday morning, I'll be right here as always, devising a 274th different way to say, "This magazine has lots of pictures of clogs." But it still gets a bit harrowing from time to time.

Which is why I did backflips when I received my coolest-ever assignment last week: The director of my former summer camp tapped me to write a sarcasm-free alma mater/theme song ("friendships deepen through years with thee/lasting 'til eternity," etc.) for a new camp set to open in the summer of 2008. By sheer happenstance, American Songwriter materialized in my mailbox a few hours later. Creative nourishment and a blatant column-opening bit in a single package? Sign me up.

I was gracious for the opportunity to reacquaint myself with American Songwriter, a title I studied religiously before realizing that I'm not, as they say in the music biz, "talented." Truthfully, I had little idea that it was still being published. I hadn't seen it on the newsstand or in my musician pals' bathrooms or anywhere else. I assumed it had quietly withered away, like Billy Squier.

The new American Songwriter -- it got bought and revamped a few years back -- is a distinctly different magazine from the one I remember. From a design perspective, the mag has charged into the 21st century, stuffing itself with photo-illustrations and fonts both thin and thick. For those who haven't seen the magazine in a while, American Songwriter trumpets its creative evolution on the cover of the May/June issue, which features an alluring pop-arty mockup of a Mandy Moore photo.

If you're thinking "Former teen tart Mandy Moore on the cover of a Nashville-based magazine for serious-minded practitioners of songcraft? What the...," you're not alone. That's my problem with the revitalized American Songwriter: it attempts to be two different magazines at once. One appeals to mainstream fans likely to give performers like Moore a second listen (read: people who buy stuff), while the other goes after music purists forever raging against "American Idol" (read: people who are too cool for the room, who don't).

Not surprisingly, American Songwriter struggles with its new half-identity. The first sentence of the extensive Moore piece is actually quite lovely -- "Her hair is somewhere between cordovan and claret, and falls in cascades beyond her shoulders" --but it clashes style- and subject-wise with most of the May/June content, like the sit-down with a "Dreamgirls" composer and the check-ins with roots-music mainstays like Paul Craft and Joe Ely. There's nothing that a magazine like American Songwriter can say about much-hyped newbies like Paolo Nutini that hasn't already been said hundreds of times elsewhere.

But when the mag sticks to its core mission, it positively sings. The "American Icons" piece on Jimmie Rodgers, the "Song Analyst" bit on Tom Waits' "Hold On" and the "Behind the Song" appreciation of "Once In My Life" offer wonderful insight into the songwriting process and are rendered with obvious passion. The magazine's smallest, most personal moments rank among its best, especially the wistful "Street Smarts" column about a long-ago songwriting collaboration. At the same time, the feature on "Music and Corporate Advertising" administers a booster shot of economic reality to fans quick to yelp "sellout!" whenever a band licenses one of its tunes for commercial purposes.

American Songwriter isn't always above such snobbery. The "Left Coast Lines" column, for example, revels in its extreme insiderishnessitude: "Advance copies delivered to select press members reveal a melodic song cycle coupled with extraordinary lyrical depth." Oooh, you got an ADVANCE COPY? Can I touch it? Can I smell it?

Also, American Songwriter's reviews occasionally stray into shill mode, like the strange mention of Academy of Country Music nominations at the end of a Miranda Lambert notice (I'm guessing somebody came up a little short on the ol' word count). Its guitar reviews, a rarity in a records-first music mag, have adopted a silly "jammin'" and "rockin'" rating scheme. And I wonder if it's wise to give winners of the mag's lyric contest significant real estate in the print edition. While I'm wowed by their nü-Spinal Tap moxie, couplets like "Across the River Styx a dark ferryman awaits/Pay your tariff and accept your soul's fate" don't belong within 600 pages of the aforementioned Jimmie Rodgers story.

But then, this comes from a guy who has spent the last eight days trying to come up with cogent rhymes for "sportsmanship" and "memories" and "furtive fumbling with a bra strap behind Bunk 8." It's all relative.

Problem Gambling Mobilizes Communities

Local, State and National Leaders Convene to Mobilize Communities on Problem Gambling

The 13th Annual Problem Gambling: Everyone's Problem Conference will address the issue of problem gambling and discuss strategies at the individual, communal, and organizational levels. There will be panel discussions focusing on problem gambling in adolescents, college students, and special populations (minorities, elderly and disabled). Sessions with recovering persons will give real-life insight to the impacts of gambling addition and challenges related to recovery.

Altamonte Springs, FL (PRWEB) May 17, 2007 -- Local, state and national leaders are convening today and tomorrow at the Grosvenor Resort in Lake Buena Vista to address the topic, "Problem Gambling: Everyone's Issue" and to devise a strategic plan of action to increase awareness at the community level across the State of Florida.

Joining the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling at its 13th Annual Conference will be Keynote Speaker Bill Janes, Director of the Florida Office of Drug Control, Lottery Secretary Leo DiBenigno, and leaders of prominent organizations and gaming industry members, including the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering within the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the National Federation of High School Associations, the U.S. Probation Office, the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association, the Florida Certification Board, Seminole Casinos, Dania Jai-Alai, Derby Lane, and Isle of Capri Casinos.

Also participating will be local community based entities such as the Center for Drug Free Living in Orlando, The Miami Coalition for a Safe and Drug Free Community, Hillsborough County Anti-Drug Alliance, Family and Children Faith Coalition in Dade, Gateway Community Services in Jacksonville, Broward County Human Services Department (Elder and Veterans Services Division), as well as treatment professionals, recovering persons and others.

"We are depending upon the active participation of all attendees throughout the course of the conference for their input in panel discussions and presentations leading up to the Roundtable Exchange - our Think Tank and foundation for formulating a strategic plan of action," explained Pat Fowler, Executive Director of the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling. "There are more than 500,000 Floridians struggling with the effects of a gambling problem and thousands more adversely affected. Problem gambling is treatable for those who seek help. Through the power of the collective, we can approach this problem from a community-based vantage point," advised Fowler.

The extensive two-day conference is an educational pathway featuring original work and insight into the world of problem gambling prevention, outreach and treatment. Nationally renowned trainer and clinician, Joanna Franklin, MS, NCGC-II, will be facilitating the forum, including the Roundtable Exchange. Also presenting is adolescent expert Dr. Jeffrey Derevensky of McGill University, and other highly-regarded specialists in the field. Panels will focus on problem gambling among adolescents, college students, special populations (minorities, women and elderly) and will feature recovering persons, who will share their roads to recovery.

Finally, the FCCG will announce special recognition awards of outstanding organizations and individuals for their leadership in establishing programs benefiting students, patrons, and the general public. Honorees include Thomas Hall, Director of Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Programming at the University of Central Florida; Orlando Sentinel reporter Mike Berry; Mardi Gras Gaming Vice-President, Daniel Adkins; the National Federation of State High School Associations; and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling, Inc. (FCCG) is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) educational and advocacy organization whose primary mission is to help persons adversely affected by problem and compulsive gambling. Established in 1988, the FCCG is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, is a member of the National Council on Problem Gambling and maintains a neutral stance on the issue of legalized gambling. The FCCG is funded by the State of Florida and receives additional support from membership dues, training fees and donations.

Men's Health Vs. Health: Battle Of The Sexes

Battle Of The Sexes: Men's Health Vs. Health

by Phyllis Fine, Wednesday, May 16, 2007

SO which gender has the best guide to hotter sex, tighter abs, and cancer prevention? We pitted Rodale's Men's Health, the major male-oriented health pub (although 16% of its circulation is female), against Time Inc.'s Health, which is totally targeted to women. (We could've gone with such powers of the women's general health field as the veteran Prevention, or relative newbie Women's Health, but both are also published by Rodale, and we wanted to make this a two-publisher contest.)

Here's how each mag stacks up.

Better orgasms department: Health, B; MH, A-. MH's pieces on sex are, not surprisingly, more graphic than Health's, with an attention to detail that could be helpful even to the most sophisticated guy. Take the very specific tips on foreplay and giving "her the best orgasm of her life" in May's "How To Be The Perfect Guy For Her."  "Her Eyes Say Maybe, But Her Brain Says..." has the admirable goal of explaining how a woman's brain triggers sexual response. But despite the author's clear, entertaining style, all those anatomical details can be heavy going.

Health's more ladylike entry is a cute first-person piece about using tips from sex manuals, which breaks up the earnestness of the May issue with some welcome humor. Then there are the results of Health's sex survey, which the editors call surprising, but I call ho-hum. OK, except for some of the answers to "What's the craziest place you've had sex?" Gotta wonder why the couple getting it on at Disneyland wasn't put off by those giant rodents.

Lose 30 pounds in 10 days dept.: Health, B; MH, C.  The challenge here is to provide a fresh angle on weight loss, that most-hackneyed topic -- the mainstay of not only general health books but all those fitness pubs as well.

MH's tips from "modern food science" -- like, the smaller the plate, the less you'll eat -- may not be front-page news, but at least they're being offered to a readership that isn't to the diet born. For most women, Health's suggestions to save calories by using mustard instead of mayo, and skipping cream and sugar in coffee, are laughably obvious.

More helpful -- and fresh: Health's feature on "former fat girls," which provides tips straight from former dieters themselves, and  its roundup of new, healthful convenience foods.

Studies show 100% of leaves are green dept.: Health, B-; MH, C. Short items on scientific studies should provide cutting-edge info. Too often, they're merely fillers, the dregs of all health mags. MH rates lower in this category because it reports on even more studies with stupid conclusions. For example, "Women's desks harbor three to four times more germs than men's desks do," because women are more apt to keep food in their drawers.

Most useful info: Health gets extra credit for this category.  Since heart disease runs in my family, I found the piece on women and heart attacks particularly relevant. I'm getting a stress test soon, and it was reassuring to read that this procedure can detect a precursor endemic to women's heart disease.

Features and writing quality: Health, B - ; MH, B+. I'd pick up MH first if it was sitting in my doc's waiting room, because it's usually a more entertaining read, with humor and a real voice -- even if it's a hey-buddy-we're-all-in-this-together tone that's very different from my female sensibilities. Its lead features can be too long, but they make scientific knowledge relevant and palatable.  For example, the excellent piece on organ donation in the December issue not only moved me (it was framed around the death of the author's father) but taught me some facts, that I may someday, unfortunately, have to grapple with.

Health's lack of compelling angles on evergreen topics (in May, the benefits of deep breathing, and how to get more energy) means I can skim through an issue, put it down, and not remember a thing. Only two pieces in the May issue were memorable stylistically: the aforementioned sex manual article, and a breast cancer survivor's account of how she bared her implants to soothe the anxieties of a woman considering a double mastectomy.

Relationship Advice: Health, C-; Men's Health, B-. Both mags offer clichés in this area, though MH at least offers flashes of wit  and insight. In  Health's predictably boring world, even if "your husband left his wet towel on the bed -- again," you're advised to let it go and learn to focus on his good points.

But what if that slob took the "Will She Forgive You?" quiz in the December MH? I'd have a harder time saying "honey, that's OK," because writer Sarah Miller (a traitor to her gender) suggests that he tell some whoppers. (The photo of his lap dance at the bachelor party was just a photo-op to please the groom?)

Look of the books: Health, B; MH, B.  Neither mag is gorgeous -- but not terrible, either. Both have some outstanding photos, especially Health's candid-looking mother and daughter shots illustrating the interviews in "What My Mother Taught Me."

Both covers are too cluttered, though -- and what the hell is the Health model on the May cover doing with that hand raised awkwardly behind her head? MH at least stands out on the newsstand with its black-and-white cover.

Bottom line: Both pubs provide some useful features. I'd rather read MH because its articles are more literate and memorable, but if you're a woman, Health occasionally comes through with some relevant specialized information.

Federal Prison Consultants to Answer Paris Hilton Sentencing Questions

Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) is Available to the News Media to Answer Questions Regarding the Upcoming Sentencing of Paris Hilton

Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) is available to offer phone and video sessions for news media release to the general public regarding the prison sentence of Paris Hilton, such as, her self-surrender, facility description, good time credit, early release due to overcrowding and strategic planning for minimizing her prison sentence. The specific case at hand is Case No. 6MP09160: In the Superior Court of California: County of Los Angeles - The People of the State of California vs. Paris Whitney Hilton. Paris Hilton, 26, was sentenced to 45 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. Hilton was driving with a suspended license. She must self-surrender by June 5, 2007. Hilton may spend less than 45 days in prison for violating her probation due to laws in California concerning jail overcrowding, as well as possible earned good behavior exemptions.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) is available to offer phone and video sessions for news media release to the general public regarding the prison sentence of Paris Hilton, such as, her self-surrender, facility description, good time credit, early release due to overcrowding and strategic planning for minimizing her prison sentence.

The specific case at hand is Case No. 6MP09160: In the Superior Court of California: County of Los Angeles - The People of the State of California vs. Paris Whitney Hilton.

Paris Hilton, 26, was sentenced to 45 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. Hilton was driving with a suspended license. She must self-surrender by June 5, 2007.

As an inmate, Hilton may have to spend most of her day in a cell smaller than her own closet. She would be allowed out of her cell for only a short period to shower, watch TV, exercise or make a short monitored phone call.

Hilton may spend less than 45 days in prison for violating her probation due to laws in California concerning jail overcrowding, as well as possible earned good behavior exemptions.

Knowing jail and prison protocol can help target the best possible time to self-surrender, coupled with knowing all of the policies and programs of the jail or prison system. Having an experienced prison consultant can increase your chances of being released earlier for a great deal of reasons.

Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) has handled many high-profile federal and state cases, similar to Hilton's. Having an experienced prison consultant involved in a case like this may increase the changes of being released from jail or prison by expert knowledge of the jail or prison protocol, whether it is County, State or Federal protocol.

Ed Bales, Managing Director of Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) was in Los Angeles last week following the events and answering questions to the news media.

Federal Prison Consultants, LLC (Division: California Prison Consultants) offers a free assessment consultation for all prison related matters. Please feel free to call us at 1-888-5-PRISON or via our web site from the attached link of this press release.

National Enquirer Magazine

National Enquirer

by Larry Dobrow, Thursday, May 10, 2007
MY TOLERANCE FOR PAIN was put to the test this week, courtesy of a fractured-tooth/root-canal/realization-that-my-dental-insurance-lapsed-in-December triple shot. So as I attempt to rationalize the expenditure of a ton of cash in order to preserve my ability to nosh on Skittles, I figure I might as well continue on the masochist track with a review of the National Enquirer.

I'm not a gossip guy, which isn't to suggest that I consider myself intellectually above pinhead pursuits (anyone else dork out over Tom Gorzelanny's slightly lowered arm angle last night? I didn't think so). As entertaining in a karmic-retribution sense as the "news" that Paris Hilton will be heading to the pokey may be, I can get by without the mag's speculation about the reception she'll receive (a wild guess: sex-ay!). Similarly, a pleasant, successful afternoon isn't premised on my reception of updates on the status of Burt Reynolds' love life, Posh Spice's shopping jags and the former Miss Nevada's alleged whoredom. There are plenty of other things to read while waiting for a haircut, like the backs of Pantene bottles and religious-cult pamphlets.

And yet I kinda dig the Enquirer. Maybe that's the Percocet speaking -- I started to review a Lands' End catalog just now before realizing it wasn't a magazine -- but it seems to me that the Enquirer has refined its act over the years. Of all the gossip rags, it's the one that doesn't seem ashamed of what it is.

Hell, the mag practically basks in its low-mindedness, appending its most shocking declarations with a string of exclamation points and landing many an agenda-laden cheap shot (like an out-of-nowhere reference to Alec Baldwin as "Bozo McBoom-Boom"). The "secrets" the mag "exclusively" reveals are "tragic," "explosive" or some variation thereof. The Enquirer is not subtle in its approach, to put it mildly.

At the same time, outside of gossip grand dame People, few weekly titles can match the Enquirer's skillful presentation. I don't know how to describe it, other than to say that everything is precisely where it ought to be. Take the cover feature on "Plastic Surgery Shockers," which presents the before-and-after evidence in a way that's ideal for quick consumption. While I didn't need to see Courtney Love's shriveled stomach before breakfast, I was impressed (and more than a little embarrassed about being impressed) by the authority with which the mag made its cases.

The Enquirer also excels at making news out of nothing at all. To meet its Brad/Angelina and Lohan quotas, the mag takes a one-line premise (say, "Lindsay falls off the wagon") and somehow grows it into a 800-word feature replete with thematically on-point photos (Lindsay with her eyes looking like recessed blinds, etc.). It's a simple recipe, I suppose. You mix a few paragraphs of anonymously sourced dirt with a sprinkling of opinions from experts (who, the mag takes pains to point out, have not treated the subject they're weighing in on), and voilà: tabloid nirvana.

You've gotta wonder, actually, about the mag attributing almost every nugget to "a friend," "an insider," "an eyewitness" or "a source" ("Lindsay is also drinking alcohol. Her favorite is vodka. She pours it into a 16-oz. water bottle and drinks it straight or mixed with some soda. But she also drinks tequila and champagne," a "friend" tells us). On the other hand, the Enquirer rarely gets popped for libel -- the "truth" defense must be the magazine's get-out-of-jail-free card -- so I probably have no point here.

Slightly more diverting are the items in the May 21 issue that have nothing to do with celebrity. The mag doesn't merely convey what happened; it relates the "news" in a way that practically instructs readers how they should feel about it. Therefore we give a big thumbs-up to the dad jailed for 10 years after going all Dirty Harry on his daughter's drug dealer, and a huge razz to the sister who refuses to donate bone marrow to her ailing brother. In each instance, we're only treated to one side of the story, leaving me to wonder if most Enquirer fans realize how skillfully they're being manipulated.

Holy lord -- I just took the National Enquirer seriously. I'm going to go dunk my head in the sink now.

My favorite part of the May 21 issue could well be the trio of letters tucked away in the back, next to astrology and chat-line classifieds. I don't know why I find it so entertaining that an actual person would be motivated to send the Enquirer a missive that begins, "Why doesn't Eddie Murphy take a paternity test? That way he'll know whether he's the father of Melanie Brown's baby." But so help me, I do.

Perhaps it's the cash. The mag hands out $50 to the composer of its "Letter of the Week" and $25 for all other published submissions. Hence the note that I just zipped off to letters@nationalenquirer.com: "Gary Coleman has some nerve shouting at a woman trying to get an autograph for her wheelchair-bound kid! He should remember that it's the fans who got him to where he is today! He is a very small person -- and I'm not just talking about his height!!!!!!!!!" Send the $50 straight to my endodontist, will you?

Smart Casino & Poker Players' Tool

B4Playing, the Smart Casino & Poker Players' Tool to Launch Website

B4Playing announced the launch of its website and the initial registration to the unique B4Playing client, a smart casino & poker players' tool as well as to its Online Casino & Poker Optimization newsletter.

Isle of Man (PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- The B4Playing Corporation announced the launch of its website B4Playing.com. The website features the unique B4Playing push-based client, a configurable tool that enables online gambling players the convenience of receiving online gambling information, news, notifications, alerts and more. All that is required of a user is to set up their personal settings to inform the client of their preferences, and B4Playing does the rest. Once the tool is aware of the information a user wants the client searches through a database of hundreds of properties, retrieves the relevant and current data, and delivers it directly to the user's desktop.

"We are very excited about the launch of our website and the upcoming pre-release of our B4Playing Client," said Itay Paz, VP Marketing of B4Playing. "We are allowing players to register for the closed beta and will notify them via email as soon as the application is ready for testing. In order to register, players simply need to visit our website at B4Playing.com and signup. We look forward to players' reactions to the B4Playing tool."

The B4Playing client was created to revolutionize a player's online gambling experience. It has been designed to save time that the average player wastes on the research and decision making process that is required in order to find and select the online casino or poker room best suited to the player.

Mr. Paz also stated, "B4Playing simplifies a player's decision making process by finding the information for them, delivering it directly to their desktop, and providing them with links to the properties related to the relevant data that has been delivered." Thus, all a user has to do is choose a property from the data they've been provided, click the corresponding link and they're ready to enjoy online gambling they way they want. B4Playing saves a user valuable time, giving them more freedom to take pleasure in time better spent as a player.

B4Playing has many exciting features that can improve a Player's online gambling experience. Online casino player's can obtain a list of all major operators and choose the best bonuses tailored for them, as well as obtain a list of all slots tournaments, and the status of all progressive slots. Online casino players can utilize B4Playing's Bonuses Optimization, Progressive Slots Alerts, and Exclusive Bonus Offers that are only for the B4Playing community. Online Poker player's, on the other hand, can take advantage of B4Playing's Tournaments Scheduling and Alerts option, and receive detailed information regarding all scheduled tournaments. The player simply chooses the tournament(s) they are interested in, and B4Playing will send an alert to inform the player when they start.

The name B4Playing literally means Before Playing. In other words, the B4Playing client is not gambling software, but software created to assist an online gambler before they play. Before playing also means that the activities and actions performed by users of the B4Playing tool are not tracked once the user leaves the B4Playing site.

The B4Playing client has been designed for easy use and will be free to download. The client features top-of-the-line security protocols to ensure the privacy and protection of each user. Great care has also been taken to ensure that the B4Playing client is spyware, adware and malware free.

When released, the B4Playing client will only be compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems (XP, 2000 and Vista), but Mr. Paz of B4Playing has said plans to make the client compatible with other computer operating systems, including Apple computers' OS and Linux, is underway.

The closed beta for the B4Playing client will soon be available for those players interested in signing up at B4Playing.com.

Canterbury Park Horse Race Track Still Running

Canterbury Park Opens 68-Day Meet With Large Fields

Shot of Gold Stakes Headlines Nine-Race Program on May 5

May 03, 2007 - SHAKOPEE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saturday's race program at Canterbury Park drew 84 horses, including nine for the featured $45,000 Shot of Gold Stakes. Entries were drawn on Wednesday for the opening day card, which will be run on Saturday, May 5 with first post at 1:30pm.

Many familiar faces have returned to Canterbury including last year's leading rider Paul Nolan. Four-time champion Derek Bell has been named on four mounts, and jockey Tho Nguyen, who last rode at Canterbury in 2002, has returned this season. Trainer Mac Robertson, who has finished atop the standings each of the last three years, wasted no time filling the entry box. Six horses, including a coupled entry in the third running of the Shot of Gold Stakes, will go postward under his name.

Reopened in 1995, the publicly held Shakopee racetrack embarks on its 13th season as Canterbury Park. Track President Randy Sampson expects good things this summer. "The jockey colony looks as strong as ever and the backside stalls should be full within the next few weeks," said Sampson. The purse structure is expected to be consistent with last year, approximately $150,000 per day. "Although first quarter revenues are less than last year and less than expected, I am still confident that we will maintain our purse structure over the course of the meet," added Sampson.

Last year's opening day attracted a record crowd of 17,111. Average attendance has increased each of the last 10 seasons, and Canterbury Park drew more than 360,000 in 2006. "The yearly growth in attendance has been very encouraging," said Sampson. "Weeknight racing has shown tremendous increases, especially among the younger demographic. This has allowed us to introduce the sport of horse racing to a new generation." Hoping to capitalize on that trend, new this year will be 4 pm Saturday post times beginning in June. The change in post time also will allow the Canterbury simulcast signal to reach a broader audience throughout the country. For the first time in its history, Canterbury races will appear in Las Vegas race books.

General admission to Canterbury Park is $5, with an additional charge for indoor reserved seating General parking is free. Valet parking is $6. For additional information call the Canterbury Box Office at 952-445-7223 or visit www.canterburypark.com.

World's Largest Network of .Mobi Sites

HelloMetro Launches World's Largest Network of .Mobi Sites with GoDaddy.com's Help

More than 500 HelloMetro sites provide mobile phone users with valuable local search information.

Jeffersonville, IN (PRWEB) May 3, 2007 -- HelloMetro has launched the world's largest network of .mobi sites with more than 500 of its city-based, local search websites now available globally on practically all mobile phones. These specially designed sites are formatted for a mobile phone's screen and bandwidth, enabling users to access HelloMetro local internet sites on the go without having to wait until they have access to a computer.

All of HelloMetro.mobi web sites are registered through the world's leading domain name registrar, GoDaddy.com®. "We're pleased to play a key role in bringing these sites and other practical local information to people around the world in an easy way, through their mobile phones," said Go Daddy President and Chief Operating Officer Warren Adelman.

HelloNewYork.mobi, HelloSeattle.mobi, HelloAtlanta.mobi and HelloToyko.mobi are among the more than 500 HelloMetro.mobi sites, which each provide mobile phone users with the valuable local information they need. Local users and travelers can easily and quickly access personal and business phone directories, local news and sports results, restaurants, weather and attractions information for their city from their mobile phone. HelloMetro also has plans to make available to mobile phone users the more than 30,000 local art images and 10,000 local songs that bands have uploaded to the sites. Images will be able to be downloaded to mobile phones as background screens and music may be downloaded and added to a phone's ringtone options.

"We want to be a constant resource to our users, regardless of where they are and what technology they're using. Now users can access our more than 500 local search sites from their mobile phone, giving them more flexibility and convenience, along with fewer headaches from trying to access sites that aren't compatible with a mobile device," said Clark Scott, President and CEO of HelloMetro.

Neil Edwards, CEO of dotMobi, said, "The .mobi internet address allows businesses of all sizes to have a strong mobile internet presence. The HelloMetro network of .mobi sites is sure to be an ideal mobile application for both locals and visitors by giving them the local information they need, whenever they need it."

The use of mobile phones to access the internet is on the rise, with an estimated four mobile phones purchased for every personal computer, and more digital mobile phones in use than TVs and PCs combined. In fact, according to the latest study by Arbitron and Edison Media Research, The Infinite Dial 2007: Radio's Digital Platforms, consumers ranked mobile phones as being the audio platform/device that has the biggest impact on their lives. The .mobi address - the first and only domain designed for users to easily access the internet through their mobile phones - ensures that sites are compatible with mobile phones.

HelloMetro is a collection of more than 600 city-based, locally focused websites that share more than 2.2 million unique visitors a month. HelloMetro offers each city's residents and visitors a local platform to learn about what's new, attractions, restaurants, special events, movie show times, lottery results, real estate, jobs, phone directories - all specific to their own city and interests. Unlike cluttered city portals that blast online audiences with generic information with little local relevance, HelloMetro uniquely dedicates each city site to the flavor of the individual location. The company currently operates more than 650 locally oriented city information websites worldwide including HelloSeattle.com, HelloMiami.com, HelloLouisville.com, HelloTokyo.com and HelloParis.com.

A listing of all 650 HelloMetro websites can be found at www.HelloMetro.com or for individual city websites, type in the URL "Hello" plus "Your City Name" plus ".com" (i.e., HelloNewYork.com, HelloOrlando.com, HelloBoston.com, HelloSanDiego.com, HelloDenver.com).

HelloMetro offers users the opportunity to get to know a city through local history, attractions, real estate, jobs, Yellow Pages, local resources and other partner sites that provide the most complete and up-to-date information in their particular subject areas. Unlike cluttered city portals that blast online audiences with irrelevant advertising information, HelloMetro uniquely dedicates each city site to the flavor of the individual location.
