November 20 - Perf Go Green Provides Progress Report On Business Initiatives

Advancing Growth Plans Through New Placements and Products; Re-orders Coming in From Retailers

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PGOG) (“Perf Go Green”) (www.perfgogreen.com), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, provided its second quarterly update on the company's business initiatives.

“Over the past three months, we've made solid progress in introducing Perf Go Green to businesses and retailers across the U.S.,” said Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. “Although we're still in our early stages as a company, our products are already available online (Amazon.com and drugstore.com) and in stores that have more than 18,000 retail outlets throughout the country. These include two leading pharmacy chains (Walgreens and CVS), hardware and office supply chains (OfficeMax, Do it Best, Orgill, and United Hardware), supermarkets (Bashas', Hy-Vee, and Meijers), and natural foods stores (Sprouts Farmers Market). In addition, we've received vendor approvals from retailers with another 23,000 outlets, and are working to obtain purchase orders and ship merchandise as quickly as possible.

“As the first biodegradable plastic product to be mass marketed, Perf Go Green is getting a great reception from all sectors — businesses, retailers, consumers, municipalities and non-profit organizations. We booked our first sale in May 2008, and in our last fiscal quarter we recorded quarterly revenues in the amount of $425,000. All of our target markets are proving eager to help protect the earth by selling or using products that offer a convenient, cost-effective way to reduce their environmental footprint. The fact that we're already receiving re-orders from a number of the retailers we work with is especially telling. We're proud that Perf Go Green has positioned itself as a leader in the nation's 'go green' movement, which some project to become a $500 billion market in 2009.”

Over the past three months, Perf Go Green has:

* Rolled out our 13-gallon tall kitchen trash bags and 30-gallon lawn & leaf bags nationwide at two leading pharmacy chains and has regularly been receiving re-orders from one of the chains.

* Added nearly 1,000 retail stores nationwide through a new distribution partnership with OfficeMax Incorporated, a top provider of office products and services. Perf Go Green's 13-, 30- and 39-gallon bags became available on all OfficeMax's shelves in November.

* Broadened our initial product offering to include commercial and custom-sized bags, plastic drop cloths and pet products. We're now shipping a full array of items in seven different product categories. We are implementing our EDI system with EDI-compliant customers, which will be fully integrated with our back-office and sales and marketing functions.

* Been selected to supply biodegradable plastic trash bags under a co-branding program at a major pharmacy chain. We're currently selling Perf Go Green product in the chain and our arrangement will evolve into a co-branded label in 2009, which we expect to add to its appeal.

* Received our first order for office trash bags from a securities firm in New York City, whose professional staff encompasses approximately 300 employees, all of whose desk trash cans will be fitted with Perf Go Green bags.

* Added Diversified Brands to our sales and marketing team. Diversified, whose management team has a combined total of more than 80 years of experience and a wide network of relationships, began introducing Perf Go Green products to Canadian retailers in November.

* Expanded our business development team through a partnership with GEM Business Development. An expert in the field of consumer packaged goods, GEM is tasked with broadening retail and consumer awareness of Perf Go Green and accelerating our go-to-market approach.

* Continues to enjoy a strong relationship with our manufacturer, Spectrum Plastics, a leader in the field of sustainable bags and packaging products. We are working with Spectrum to create new and better plastic products and expect to launch new products in 2009. First in line are fresh produce bags, which we'll introduce in January.

* Obtained extensive positive media coverage, including magazine articles in Family Circle, Parenting, O at Home, and, most recently, Redbook, that are helping drive consumer awareness of Perf Go Green's products. We've also been featured on Fox Business News, Lifetime Television's The Balancing Act and HGTV's Designing Spaces: Think Green.

* Increased international awareness of our products and mission through the German Equity Forum in Frankfurt in November. Perf Go Green's Chief Operating Officer was a featured speaker at the Alternative Energies panel discussion, in which companies and financial market participants from all over the world with an interest in green initiatives participated.

* Become the title sponsor for the Go Green expo at the LA Convention Center in January 2009, which will feature the latest eco-friendly products and services people can use to lead a greener life.

Tracy concluded, “The need to reduce plastic waste gets more urgent every day. We've been responding to that need — and, at the same time, establishing the basic building blocks for Perf Go Green's growth — by getting into as many retail doors as possible as well as introducing Perf Go Green with much success to businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations. In the coming months, we plan to accelerate our distribution and educate more people about our products and their positive impact on the environment. We'll also expand our product offering, giving people even more opportunities to go green and protect the planet.”

Perf Go Green's corporate name reflects its “Go Green” mission to develop, market and distribute biodegradable plastic products as a practical and viable solution to eliminating plastic waste from the world environment. Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products were honored for their design quality and innovation. According to Landor Associate, the “go green movement” is poised to become a $500 billion market by 2009.

The Company owns interests in three wind farms: Shaokatan Hills LLC, Lakota Ridge LLC and CHI Energy. At present, WNEA owns a developer's stake and a minimal interest producing negligible cash flow in these wind farms. Over the next two years the developer’s stake will begin producing significant cash flow from these projects. The three wind farms together contain 79 modern wind turbines and have a total rated capacity of 53.5 megawatts (MW). They are collectively generating approximately 160 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually. In addition to these properties, the Company owns a 3 percent equity interest in Averill Wind LLC, a 10 MW wind farm being developed near Fargo, N.D., another region favorable for wind power energy.

November 19 - Wind Energy America Inc. Obtains Financing to Complete Minnesota Wind Farm

Wind Energy America Inc. (OTCBB: WNEA) announced that it has started ordering parts and commencing construction and interconnect operations to complete its wind farm project in Minnesota which contains two of the Gamesa wind turbines acquired in the Boreal Energy asset purchase. When commissioning of these two turbines is completed, WNEA will receive its first material revenues from generating utility-scale electricity from wind power. This Buffalo Ridge wind farm and its revenue production will be 100% owned by WNEA.

Financing for this wind farm project was obtained from a California holding company through a sale/leaseback of our Midwest Energy Center facility in Lincoln County MN. WNEA received net proceeds of approximately $l,400,000 from this sale/leaseback transaction. We also have the option after 2 years to repurchase the facility at a price which represents a small percentage increase over the initial sale/leaseback price.

Robert Knutson, managing director of WNEA and the person responsible for obtaining and closing this significant funding, stated: “Given the current difficulties of raising development capital due to the recent collapse of worldwide equity markets, we are pleased that WNEA has been able to obtain critical funding at this time. These proceeds have enabled us to satisfy substantial overdue bank debt secured by the project, pay for interconnect and other costs owed to the utility which will purchase electricity generated by the project, acquire the necessary transformer equipment and other wind turbine parts and materials, and retain an experienced wind power contractor to complete the project for us.”

Medivisor, Inc. (OTC: MVSR), developer of next-generation focus driven marketing tools, sales strategies, and distribution platforms, announced that it has entered into an agreement with The Curry Group, agent for Nico Worldwide Inc., for the sale and marketing of NICLite®. NICLite® is an alcohol-free Smoking Alternative Drink that is registered with the FDA as a Homeopathic Nicotinum Complex Formula.

Over 2.5 billion people (close to half the world's population) smoke cigarettes. This includes an astounding 48.2 million Americans. Throughout the world, legislation is demanding a ban on smoking. As confirmed in the New England Journal of Medicine, nicotine is a naturally occurring compound. It is found in common foods and vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, chili peppers, and some types of tea. The World Health Organization has estimated that tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, of which nicotine is just one. In addition to tar, there is also carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust fumes), ammonia (found in floor cleaner) and arsenic (found in rat poison). At least 43 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, bladder and kidneys. Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of other cancers.

NICLite® contains a purified organic nicotine molecule in a Complex Homeopathic Formula, which will go into equal suspension in 8 ounces of pharmaceutical grade water. Nico Worldwide Inc. developed NICLite® as a smoking alternative for when people can't smoke, shouldn't smoke or choose not to smoke, and to reduce the craving for tobacco.

"With an increasing number of places and countries banning smoking, NICLite® offers people a real alternative, and the ability to live life smoke free," stated Dino Luzzi, president of Medivisor, Inc. "The potential marketplace for this product is almost limitless."

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review and the approval of the transaction by Image stockholders. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2009.

We have been successfully executing the business plan we put in place about a year ago and by doing so developed a strong and healthy business which obviously kept potential suitors interested.

“This deal allows Image to expand its overall business and grow as a vertically-integrated entertainment company. By combining Image’s established infrastructure and highly regarded home video, digital and television distribution capabilities with Q Black’s content creation and digital technology expertise, the parties create a much larger and exciting organization, one very much focused on feature films and well prepared to take advantage of evolving distribution strategies,” concluded Borshell.

“I am elated that the company will further grow in the very capable hands of Joe Bretz. Joe is committed to keep Image Entertainment a well-respected content and distribution entity and has designed an exciting and aggressive roadmap to expand Image's reach into new and growing technologies. I feel blessed to have been part of this great company and will be on the sidelines, proudly smiling, as Image continues to mature,” concluded Greenwald.

Joe Q. Bretz, CEO of Q Black Media, stated, “Image is one of those companies that gets stronger in the face of adversity. The accomplishments of its senior management team over the past several months are undeniably impressive — they’ve built a solidly growing revenue base by leveraging their distribution capabilities across all formats and platforms. Our international reach and digital expertise in conjunction with the drive and vision of the current management team makes Image a force to be reckoned with. Image will continue to acquire high profile programming, develop new and exciting original content from concept to completion and, of course, utilize its vast library.

“I’m both proud and excited to be part of this company and look forward to the future as we take Image to new levels,” concluded Bretz.

November 19 - MRV Debuts High Port Density 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Solution for Test Lab Automation

MRV Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRVC), a leading provider of products and services for out-of-band networking, physical layer switching, WDM and optical transport, metro Ethernet, fiber optic components, 10GE and other service aware networking products, announced a new Media Cross Connect® (MCC) physical layer chassis and interface blade for high-density 8 Gbps Fibre Channel test lab automation applications.

The high-speed chassis features an 8.5 Gbps backplane for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel applications as well as other emerging, high-speed protocols. The new interface blade will use SFP+ technology to provide high-density 8Gb Fibre Channel support. The chassis also supports all existing MCC interface blades ranging from T1/E1 copper to 10 Gbps fiber protocols. MRV is also planning an 8-Gbps SFP+ interface blade for use in its existing MCC chassis to allow its embedded base of users to test high-speed storage networks.

The MCC family is the missing link in complete test lab automation, offering the ability to implement “wire-once” technology in the test lab environment to manage all tests and test configurations dynamically through software. This automation saves operational as well as capital expenses by allowing equipment to be shared throughout the lab and eliminating the need to manually reconfigure physical connections.

The support for 8Gbps Fibre Channel makes the MCC product family the most complete solution for the storage equipment manufacturing industry. Earlier this year, MRV announced the SAS/SATA SFP for its interface blades, adding to its existing support of 2/4Gb Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE).

“It is always a challenge for storage equipment manufacturers and systems providers to expand and evolve their products to keep pace with technology,” said Noam Lotan, president and CEO of MRV Communications. “At MRV we not only want to provide support for the latest technology, we strive to protect the investment of our customer’s installed base. With the current financial atmosphere, we cannot expect customers to throw away the old and replace it with new.”

The MCC product roadmap allows budget dollars to be spent on implementing lab automation in new areas of the organization, saving additional capital and operational expenses, as opposed to being used to replace existing systems.

“With the advent of blade servers and other compact computing form factors, boosting the performance and density of the MCC is an important move by MRV because it makes it easier for manufacturers to scale their test systems to match real network conditions,” said Nariman Teymourian, chairman and CEO of Gale Technologies.

Gale Technologies, formed by the merger of EdenTree Technologies and QuikCycle, is a leading lab and test management software provider and a reseller of MRV’s MCC products to dynamically automate and manage all steps in the network testing lifecycle.

Availability

The new systems will be shipped before the end of the year, followed by the debut of the 8 Gbps SFP+ module for existing systems in early 2009.

ABOUT THE MCC

The Media Cross Connect (MCC) product line from MRV is a physical layer switch that replaces the manual patch panel providing the missing link to true test automation. Using the MCC users can program connections from any port to any other port within the system. Modularly designed, the MCC is available in 72, 144 and 288 port versions. The MCC allows engineers to change test configurations with a single software command eliminating the laborious process of patching and re-patching cables dramatically simplifying the test set up and reconfiguration process. The MCC allows test equipment to be shared among test beds reducing capital expenses in the lab. Test lab automation reduces the time it takes to complete each test, allows 24/7 testing, saves engineering hours and costs and shortens the time-to-market of new products.

ABOUT GALE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Gale Technologies, representing the merger of EdenTree Technologies and QuikCycle, has been providing lab management and automation solutions to network equipment manufacturers, service providers, and enterprises since 2000.

November 11 - Major Independent Study Underscores Utility of deCODE MI™ for Better Predicting Risk of Heart Attack, Informing Statin Therapy

In a presentation at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2008, clinicians and researchers from Baylor College of Medicine have presented data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, demonstrating that measuring the genetic risk factor on chromosome 9p21 detected by the deCODE MI(TM) test complements traditional risk factors to improve the assessment of individual risk of future coronary heart disease (CHD). This information can be used to more accurately assess target cholesterol levels and to inform lipid-modifying therapy recommendations.

Last year, deCODE Genetics Inc. (Nasdaq: DCGN) discovered single-letter variations in the human genome (SNPs) on chromosome 9p21 that increase risk of heart attack, and launched its deCODE MI(TM) reference laboratory test to enable clinicians to measure this risk factor as part of their efforts to provide the best preventive strategies for their patients. In the study today, the Baylor team and colleagues from other academic institutions analyzed the clinical utility of testing for the 9p21 risk factor by adding it to a range of standard CHD risk factors followed by ARIC, a major, NIH-funded prospective study of cardiovascular disease and care begun in 1987. Through an analysis of more than 10,000 ARIC participants of European descent for whom 9p21 status was known, the study found that knowing the 9p21 risk made the assessment of individual risk more accurate and resulted in the reclassification from one risk category to another of a significant proportion of the overall cohort. The impact was most pronounced in the categories of intermediate risk, in which individuals were estimated to be at a 5-10% risk of CHD in the next ten years, and intermediate-high, with individuals at an estimated 10 -20% 10-year CHD risk. In these categories, 19% and 17% of people, respectively, were shifted to a different risk category as a result of integrating their 9p21 status. This reclassification would result in a change in target LDL-cholesterol levels and thus in recommended lipid- lowering therapy.

"The results of this study demonstrate that integrating deCODE MI(TM) into the standard list of risk factors now used to assess CHD risk can improve the prediction of risk of future cardiac events. This provides physicians with a more accurate basis upon which to target cholesterol levels for individual patients and thus for tailoring statin use, in addition to addressing other risk factors such as obesity, smoking and hypertension. The study is all the more important because deCODE MI is available to clinicians today through our CLIA-registered laboratory," said Dr. Kari Stefansson, M.D., Dr. Med., CEO of deCODE.

ABOUT DECODE MI™

deCODE MI(TM) is a DNA-based test for identifying individuals at increased risk for myocardial infarction (MI). It is a reference laboratory test which detects versions of SNPs in the CDKN2A/2B gene region on chromosome 9p21. deCODE genetics has reported, based on studies of thousands of patients in multiple cohorts from the US and Europe, that individuals who are positive for this test are at approximately 1.6-times higher risk of MI, and at approximately twice the risk of early-onset MI (before age 50 in men and age 60 in women) than are those without the genetic risk variants. About 20% of people of European descent are positive for this test. deCODE's findings have been confirmed in multiple studies in the US, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe.

HOW TO ORDER DECODE MI™

Additional information and physician order forms for deCODE MI(TM) can be found at www.decodediagnostics.com. The price of the test is $200 dollars and deCODE facilitates reimbursement from commercial insurers. Testing is performed in deCODE's CLIA-registered laboratory, which has analyzed the genomes of hundreds of thousands of people from around the globe.
