GE Lighting Systems Unveils LED StreetDreamsT at 2008 Annual Conference of Mayors

76th Annual Conference of Mayors

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.-- June 30, 2008 --GE Lighting Systems, Inc., part of GE Consumer & Industrial, recently showcased its new LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures at the 76th Annual Conference of Mayors in Miami, Florida. From June 20-24, more than 250 mayors from cities all over the United States descended upon Miami, and GE offered them a sneak peek at one of its latest energy-efficient lighting solutions.

GE provided six of its LED StreetDreamsT luminaires for the event. The new lighting system was installed in the median along Pan American Drive leading up to Miami City Hall.

Municipal leaders are known to be major influencers in the specification and purchase of energy-efficient metropolitan lighting solutions. As downtown revitalization planning has become increasingly sensitive to environmental impacts, LED StreetDreamsT is expected to resonate well with mayors and other municipal authorities because of its energy-efficient LED technology and chic post-top design.

LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures will be introduced to the broader market in 2009.

StreetDreamsT is a trademark of the General Electric Company.

Web Site Protects Home Renters When Foreclosure Crisis Threatens

Foreclosure Crisis Threatens Potential Home Renters But One New Web Site Offers Protection

Many looking for rental homes risk costly problems and future evictions without realizing it, but CheckForForeclosure.com has an easy solution.

Los Angeles, CA - June 28, 2008 -- Alarming numbers of would-be home renters sign expensive leases and rental agreements not knowing that the homes they are about to rent are already in foreclosure. Fortunately, people who are searching the classifieds for a rental home can take advantage of a new service and Web site - CheckForForeclosure.com, Giving Renters the Notice they Need (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) - that provides access to inside information about potential landlords and lets would-be renters know if they are about to walk into a trap.

The newest tragic twist in the nationwide mortgage and housing crisis is creating havoc and distress for many unwary consumers. Very few people who shop for a rental home are even aware of the growing problem, and fewer still know how to protect themselves from signing up for a disaster when they go out to look for a rented or leased home, condo, or apartment. In some cases those who sign new leases are evicted within days of moving into a home or apartment - without refunds of payments or deposits.

CheckForForeclosure.com was created by knowledgeable real estate industry professionals to specifically address the needs of consumers who might otherwise become ensnared in the renters in foreclosure crisis. Some classified ad pages in foreclosure-prone cities are riddled with listings for rentals that are - although innocent consumers do not realize it - about to be repossessed by banks and mortgage companies. Unless someone shopping for an apartment or home rental has the ability to look beyond the advertising hype and spin and find out which rentals are dangerous, there is no way to pick the winners from the losers. Looking for a rental becomes a game of Russian roulette unless consumers take steps to get the information they need to make safe and informed choices.

Bankers and landlords are not required by law to disclose an imminent foreclosure to a renter, and real estate laws generally protect landlords and lenders while offering little help for victimized renters. That leaves renters to fend for themselves, so taking the time and making the effort to investigate the foreclosure filing status (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) of a potential rental property is a wise investment and a good insurance policy against foreclosure rental headaches and heartaches. In today's treacherous housing environment, it pays to take full advantage of services like those offered by CheckForForeclosure.com to ensure peace of mind for one's family.

Financial Services Top 10 Criticisms on Insurance Market Conduct

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Identifies Top 10 Criticisms on Insurance Market Conduct Exams

WALTHAM, Mass.-- June 16, 2008 --To help insurance companies avoid noncompliance violations, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services has released its annual list of the top 10 reasons insurers are found to be out of compliance during market conduct examinations.

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' Insurance Compliance Solutions group reviewed and analyzed the content in last year's market conduct exams from across the United States, and assigned the criticisms to various categories. The categories with the most criticisms comprise the top 10 lists for property and casualty insurance, and life and health insurance.

"This research helps serve as a checklist for insurers so they can assess noncompliance risks," said Kathy Donovan, manager of Government Relations for Insurance Compliance Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. "If regulators were to conduct an audit today, these are the key areas that would be looked at. So insurers need to ask, 'How would our organization fare?'"

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' industry research shows that the top 10 most common market conduct compliance criticisms for property and casualty insurance are:

1. Failure to acknowledge, pay or deny claims within specified time frames

2. Failure to properly terminate a policy, including inadequate days' notice and omitted required language

3. Improper documentation of claim files

4. Using unapproved or unfiled rates and/or rating errors

5. Failure to provide required disclosures (such as selection/rejection or coverage notices in the underwriting process or notices such as statute of limitations, reasons for denials, and bill of rights in the claims process)

6. Failure to provide notification of producer appointments or terminations

7. Improper documentation of underwriting and policy files

8. Failure to communicate a delay in the settlement of claims in writing

9. Using unapproved or unfiled forms

10. Failure to produce requested records for an examination

The top 10 most common criticisms for life and health insurance are:

1. Failure to acknowledge, to pay or deny claims within specified time frames

2. Using unapproved, unfiled and/or noncompliant forms that do not provide mandated benefits

3. Failure to provide required disclosures, such as Explanation of Benefits statements, coverage issues, or guaranty fund notices

4. Failure to adhere to advertising requirements

5. Failure to adhere to replacement requirements

6. Failure to provide notification of producer appointments or terminations

7. Using unapproved, unfiled rates and/or rating errors

8. Failure to adhere to grievance and appeals and utilization review requirements

9. Improper documentation of claim files

10. Failure to properly terminate a policy

"It's a challenging, ongoing task for insurers to monitor the regulatory environment and make sure they are continually in compliance with requirements governing the industry," said David Evans, vice president and general manager of Insurance Compliance Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. "This research is yet another tool we can offer insurers to help them identify potential problem areas and prevent the negative impact of noncompliance on their organization and their customers."

Plans to Bring Destination Retail to Canterbury Park Announced

Canterbury Park and Red Development Announce Plans to Bring Destination Retail to Canterbury Park

The proposed development would enhance the entire Canterbury experience

SHAKOPEE, Minn.-- June 05, 2008 --Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (AMEX:ECP) today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with RED Development, LLC, a Kansas City based retail developer, to be its exclusive partner in a proposed retail and entertainment development on part of the Company's property in Shakopee, Minnesota. The goal of the proposed development is to build upon Canterbury Park's position as one of Minnesota's best known entertainment venues to create a dynamic, multi-faceted retail and entertainment destination in one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and RED will jointly determine the feasibility of a master-planned retail, entertainment and mixed-use development. The proposed development will be integrated into the existing Racetrack and Card Club property to expand dining, shopping and retail opportunities to visitors of the park, as well as provide entertainment options to visitors of the new destination development. It is expected that the proposed development will be conducted in phases and will be located on land that is currently unused or underutilized.

Before construction of the project can begin, a number of conditions must be satisfied, including development of a mutually agreeable master plan, signing of definitive agreements between Canterbury Park and RED related to the proposed development, input from and approval by the City of Shakopee and Scott County, approval by the Minnesota Racing Commission, and arranging financing for the project.

RED Development has successfully developed other similar projects in the area. In 2003, they opened The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, a 400,000 square foot lifestyle center in Maple Grove, MN. Not far away, on the east side of St. Paul, the 398,000 square foot Woodbury Lakes was opened in 2005. Both of these projects were done in partnership with Opus Development. Also among RED's more than 30 projects is The Legends at Village West located in Kansas City, Kansas. The Legends combines almost 1.5 million square feet of retail and entertainment and has attracted a great deal of national acclaim.

"We could not be more thrilled about this partnership," said Randy Sampson, President and CEO of Canterbury Park, "RED's experience in creating dynamic destination developments like the Legends project in Kansas City make them a perfect partner for us."

Steve Graham, Vice President of Destination Development for RED also commented: "We look forward to working with Canterbury Park, as well as the City of Shakopee and Scott County, to design a project that will be a first class asset to the City of Shakopee and a magnet for visitors to the region." Mr. Graham added, "Canterbury Park is such a quality facility, we believe it will provide an excellent spring board for retail, entertainment and other features that will increase the importance of Canterbury Park to the Shakopee community and the surrounding area."

Shopping Website Saves Bargain Shoppers Time

New Full Service Shopping Website saves Online Bargain Shoppers Time and Aggravation

FindMyBargains.com is a new full service bargain site that provides tools to help bargain shoppers easily find great deals online. They deal with the aggravation and you save time and money. Subscribe to the Bargain Hunter emails, see the deals of the day, shop their selected discount stores, do price comparisons or use their free personal shopping service. Saving money has never been so easy!

Mount Laurel, NJ  -  March 13, 2008 -- Every one is looking to save some extra money. Bargain shoppers know it takes a lot of time to find great deals online. Now The Bargain Hunter at findmybargains.com offers a full service, simply designed website that helps shoppers easily save money. They deliver a free service that saves shoppers the time of hunting through emails and searching online stores to find great deals. Shoppers can register with The Bargain Hunter in the shopping category or categories of their choice such as items for men, women or children, items for the home, electronics or tools and gadgets and start receiving weekly emails of the best bargains found online. Typically the deals found are highly rated and save the consumer 40 to 80% off the retail price. Visitors can also use the site to do price comparisons, search the bargain archives, find daily deals or submit a free personal shopping request.

Says Debra, an avid online shopper who registered with FindMyBargains, "I was impressed by the quality of selections and the helpful comments. The Bargain Hunter found me a great deal on a digital camera. It had a high consumer rating and saved me 50%! I don't know how long it would have taken me to find this bargain myself. They even let you know of other discounts available, like coupon codes and free shipping. What a great service!".

FindMyBargains was developed by Dolores Curley, an expert online shopper, who knows the best stores on the web and the ways to find the best bargains. "It takes a lot of time to find great deals. As a shopper myself I didn't always have the time and was looking for a better way to shop online. I was getting so many emails from all of the stores I had visited that it was getting ridiculous. I just couldn't keep up with all of the "secret sales" that were announced! That's when I came up with the idea of the Bargain Hunter. Now there is an easy way for online shoppers to find the best deals!"

Dolores explains, "We started in November 2007 with only bargain emails and expanded to the full service site we are today." Most recently added is the Free Personal Shopping Service. "We get all types of requests. The most unique so far was when a visitor asked us to compare meal delivery services. We found four services and compared all of the features. We try to answer all shopping requests and post our findings for all of our visitors to see."

You can choose to register for bargain emails or use the site to find your own bargains. Either way Find My Bargains is a refreshing bargain shopping site that is easy to navigate and offers shoppers a simple way to save time and money.

"We truly have taken the work out of bargain hunting for online shoppers!"

Find My Bargains, although newly developed, has already been recognized by the Cool Site of the Day in November 2007, by Women's World Magazine as a featured hot web site in their February11, 2008 issue and most recently received a Squeal of Approval from Mr Modem - web guru and publisher.
