Utilizing the extensive LMB Sales network, ALL IN will first build up sales through on-premise casino property distribution in these three states and then further this effort by expanding to retail store outlets within close proximity to each casino hub. With nearly 1500 casino and casino hotel properties between them, in addition to numerous gambling parlors, poker rooms, and off/on track betting venues, the states of California, Nevada and Arizona have been identified as prime markets to expand the ALL IN brand in North America.

AQUAMER MEDICAL CORPORATION (OTCBB: AQUM)
(Company will soon be changing its name to Aquamer Urban Agricultural Corporation)
Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/AQUM.php
Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/Aquamer-Urban-Agricultural.htm
To conduct its urban indoor farming business, Urban Agricultural will be utilizing TerraSphere's proprietary system of vertically stacked growing trays that precisely controls light, temperature, water and nutrition to grow fruits and vegetables indoors. These systems are automated, software driven and sensitive to environmental concerns.
Aquamer believes that the market for urban indoor farming is significant. It is estimated that by the year 2050 the world's population will increase by an additional three billion people to well over nine billion inhabitants, with as much as 70 percent of the world's population living in cities or urban areas by 2050, up from 49 percent today. Considering that only about 10 percent of the earth's land is arable, and that more than 80 percent of this agriculturally suitable land is already being exploited, it is projected that there will not be enough horizontal growing space to feed this substantially increasing population. For decades, humans have increasingly sought the economic and physical protection offered by urban centers, but our food production has primarily remained outside these locations where it is subject to the whims of the environment. Urban indoor farming offers the promise of feeding an increasingly hungry world in a highly productive and environmentally friendly manner.
Urban Ag's goal is to promote the sustainable consumption of natural resources through clean technologies, to demonstrate environmentally and socially responsible business practices and to provide good jobs to empower a diverse community-based workforce while at the same time creating shareholder value. Urban Ag's farming activities will offer consumers a healthy, local, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to large-scale industrial farming, which is highly dependent upon the use of agricultural fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that may be harmful to consumers and both the agricultural products themselves and also the environment in which they are grown. TerraSphere has provided data showing that its patented vertical farming technology reduces water consumption through a highly efficient closed loop design that requires up to 75 percent less water than conventional field agriculture watering practices. Using these techniques, Urban Ag expects to be able to produce over 50 pounds of product per square foot per year, utilizing a short growing cycle of approximately 42 days versus 50 days for average greenhouse production and as compared to up to 70 days for traditional farming methodologies.
Vertical farming offers a solution for increasing fruit, produce and herb production due to the high density production providing for a much reduced physical footprint and fewer resources relative to field agriculture. Vertical farming systems have the potential for increasing urban food supplies while decreasing the ecological impact of farming including a smaller carbon footprint due to the reduction in fuel required transporting product across the country. Urban Ag's system of pesticide and herbicide free production with closed loop systems that conserves water provides significant potential for the realization of environmentally sustainable urban food production.

August 26 - Green Energy Live, Inc. Announces Its Focus on 'The Clean Side of Green'
Green Energy Live, Inc. (OTCBB: GELV) is a growing clean energy company focusing on sustainable 'clean side of green' solutions for the U.S. livestock industry. Through its letter of intent to acquire 100% of the stock of Peck Electric Inc., Vermont's leading provider of electrical contracting services, Green Energy Live has various opportunities to expand into new areas of clean energy products and services.
On June 12, 2010 Green Energy Live updated its Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the stock in Peck Electric. Upon acquisition, Peck will become a wholly owned subsidiary. Green Energy Live is conducting its due diligence and has made several visits to meet with Peck over the summer, including one last week. Upon completion of these pre-acquisition activities, Green Energy Live and Peck Electric will determine a closing date for this transaction.
A significant new growth area for Peck is its exclusive contract to manufacture core electrical components for ElectroCell Technologies, Inc.'s (ECT) patented manure treatment technology. This technology uses precisely managed electrical current to treat manure and dramatically reduces pathogens, odor, and excess nutrients in livestock manure. Livestock waste is one of the largest pollutants of lakes, rivers and estuaries in North America and farmers are under increasing regulatory pressure to manage it more effectively. ECT's technology provides farmers with a powerful tool for regulatory compliance, and it also provides productivity benefits that actually improve farm profits. Peck is poised to increase its revenue based on the forecasted demand for these machines.
Karen Clark, President/CEO of Green Energy Live, commented: "Peck Electric is a solid, well-run company with multiple and consistent revenue streams as well as potential for significant expansion in clean energy offerings. Peck Electric has collaborated with ElectroCell Technologies, Inc. for 5 years in the design of the control panel for their patented machine, as well as field trials and in the recent certification of ECT as a nutrient reduction methodology by the state of Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection. ECT is poised for explosive growth now that its product is actively being marketed. Peck benefits as the sole supplier of the control panels for this machine. We are very excited at the various new areas of 'the clean side of green' that Peck has moved into as it expands from the traditional areas of the electrical contracting business. Peck has a 40 year history of capitalizing on new opportunities in the electrical field, and Green Energy Live is pleased to continue to move forward with the acquisition of this growing enterprise."

Restivo added, "I will be there every step of the way, and we will brand this product nationally."
Both Hendricks and Restivo said the demand for Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea has pushed the company to make the decision that the tea will be the company's main focus in the months to come. A new flavor of tea, Sweet Summer Peach, is already being readied for production. More than 300,000 bottles of the Sweet Summer Peach, an all natural, black tea, have been ordered and are ready for production in the company's second production run of the tea brands.
Atomic Dogg Super Soda will be produced when the company meets the demand for the tea. Former NBA player, and the man behind the character Grand Ma Ma, Larry Johnson said, "The tea is in demand right now and it's a ready-made marketing campaign, so it makes sense to focus on our strength right now."
Johnson and company executives are currently meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, to finalize a deal with a major casino chain that has casinos in Las Vegas and many other areas around the country to carry the sweet tea products. Pricing and a marketing campaign are being negotiated before the casino takes the product. Johnson said, "Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea is a natural fit in Las Vegas. This is where I got my start, and I came back here to get my degree and stayed, so I would love to make this work in Vegas."
The company also announces that it has paid Slappy Studios to put together an animated television commercial campaign featuring Grand Ma Ma. Slappy Studios worked on the Transformer films, and will be animating Grand Ma Ma in a 30-second television commercial that will air on ESPN, MTV, and BET, among other major networks. The studio has developed the animated commercial and is currently working to finish the project. Larry Johnson will be in Los Angeles, California, later this week to do the voice work for his Grand Ma Ma character.

August 25 - Kentucky Energy Inc. July 31, 2010, Year to Date Production Results
Gwenco to Report Coal Revenue Increase of 341% Clean Tons of Coal
Kentucky Energy Inc. (OTC: QMIN) (Kentucky Energy), a Kentucky based operator of energy and mineral related properties, today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Second Quarter 2010 Highlights
Year to date revenue was $1.48M compared to $0.33M in 2009.
Kentucky Energy coal revenues were $1,458,351 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $330,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 341%. This increase in revenues was due to an increased level of mining operations in the first six months of 2010 versus 2009. Kentucky Energy subsidiary Gwenco leases over 700 acres of coal mines, with approximately 12,999,000 tons of coal in place in six seams.
Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Kentucky Energy, noted, "The improved year to date revenue represents an important milestone for our Company. This significant increase in revenue resulted from our ability to mine on a more consistent basis as compared to the prior period. As a percentage of net sales, our production costs decreased, as our additional cost expenditures resulted in more efficient and productive mining operations. We added and upgraded equipment which allowed us to be in production more consistently. In addition, as we advanced further into the mine, the coal seam thickened, which resulted in improved rates of recovery and a higher percentage of coal per gross ton extracted."
"We continue to work toward our production goal of 10,000 clean tons of coal per month. We are proud our coal meets sulfur dioxide emission standards for air quality without the need for flue-gas desulfurization," Mr. Chiaramonte concluded.
