  Arizona, Business, Texas No Comments

  CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ProLink Solutions — a
  wholly-owned subsidiary of ProLink Holdings Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: PLKH)
  and the world’s leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite (”GPS”) golf
  course management systems and digital out-of-home on-course advertising –
  today announces the Battleground at Deer Park Golf Course (Deer Park, Tex.)
  now features the ProLink Solutions GPS system used at many of the world’s most
  famous golf courses and plans to participate in ProLink’s exclusive national
  advertising opportunity.

  Water and sand enter play early and often at the Battleground, making for
  a challenging round. Highlights on the Tom Knickerbocker-designed layout
  include the par-3 17th hole, requiring a 175-yard carry over water, and the
  par-5 fifth, where ponds must be avoided from tee to green. Each hole on the
  6,943-yard course carries a name associated with the historic San Jacinto
  Battleground, where General Sam Houston’s troops defeated Santa Anna and the
  Mexican Army in 1836.

  “The Battleground can be a demanding course, but the ProLink GPS system’s
  features make it much simpler to pick the proper shots,” says Louis Gantz, the
  course’s General Manager. “While our golfers appreciate ProLink’s exact
  yardages and hole depictions, it’s also a tremendous tool for managing the
  course and earning additional revenue. We’re especially excited about the
  food-and-beverage, tournament scoring and advertising functions.”

  “The Battleground at Deer Park stands out in a region known for great
  golf, and we are proud to call the club a trusted partner,” says Lawrence D.
  Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions. “Utilizing ProLink GPS is a winning
  proposition all around, as golfers enjoy a better experience and courses see
  an outstanding return on investment. For our on-screen advertisers, there’s no
  more effective way to reach an affluent audience, in a serene environment,
  with no interference from other media.”

  With ProLink’s patented, 10.4″ high-resolution color screen — the
  industry’s largest — the Battleground at Deer Park’s cart-mounted units
  display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and
  hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes.
  Golfers at the Battleground at Deer Park will also be able to order food and
  beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProLink screen.

  Hermes Spacecraft Looking to Bring Personal Space Travel to the Masses

  Arizona, Business, California No Comments

  SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Intel Developer Forum — Like many
  Americans coming of age during the time of the Apollo missions, Morris Jarvis
  dreamed of someday blasting off into space. As a child he sat glued to the
  television set as man walked on the moon, and he later studied aerospace
  engineering in college. Over the years Jarvis built countless models of
  spaceships, exhaustively studied the space shuttle program and even
  interviewed real astronauts and NASA engineers. But even his friends and
  co-workers were a little surprised when in 1993 he stopped dreaming and
  started building a space shuttle in his garage in suburban Phoenix.

  Jarvis founded Star Systems Inc. and began working evenings, weekends and
  vacations, even recruiting some of his engineering colleagues in his quest.
  The result is a prototype of his Hermes Spacecraft, which is on public display
  for the first time at the Intel Developer Forum.

  Morris and his team are building Hermes out of their own pockets and
  figure they need about $1.5 million to finish the test work and begin regular
  space flights. The team is undertaking a grassroots fundraising effort to
  secure the remaining dollars as well as recruiting other “dreamers” for their
  mission.

  “There isn’t a geek out there who hasn’t dreamed of being an astronaut,”
  says Jarvis. “We’re all dreamers.”

  Hermes, named for the mythological Greek God of boundaries and the
  travelers who cross them, is a technological marvel loaded with some of
  Intel’s most advanced embedded chips including the Intel(R) EP80579 Integrated
  Processor SOC product line and the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor Z5xx series.
  Intel technology powers most of the spacecraft’s data gathering, test and
  communications systems. Other companies assisting the Hermes team include ADI
  Engineering, Dot Hill, GE Fanuc, MicroSun, and National Instruments.

  Hermes’ first flight will be an unmanned, tethered flight at Utah’s
  Bonneville Salt Flats in October during which Morris will control the
  spacecraft from a remote cockpit on the ground. Numerous sensors and computing
  systems will gather critical flight data and provide real-time feedback to
  Morris and his flight crew. Once the tethered flights are completed, Hermes
  will be equipped with an engine pod so it can be flown like an airplane,
  unattached to the ground. In the future, Hermes will be towed to about 113,000
  feet above the earth by an ultra-high altitude helium balloon, then flown back
  to earth using the remote cockpit. Finally, another test will be undertaken
  with an onboard pilot. If all goes well, Morris and his colleagues plan to
  build a production version of Hermes and begin offering regular space flights.

  “Hermes is built on the premise that anyone who wants to should be able to
  take a trip into space,” says Jarvis. “We hope to provide trips for about the
  price of a new car.”

  About The Hermes Spacecraft

  The Hermes Spacecraft is a commercial venture designed to provide
  affordable space travel to enthusiasts and adventure travelers. The company
  was founded by engineer and space “dreamer” Morris Jarvis in his garage in
  Phoenix, Arizona. The Hermes prototype is scheduled for its first test flight
  in the fall of 2008. For more information visit http://www.hermesspace.com.

  MESA International Announces New SOA Track at Plant-To-Enterprise Conference and SOA in Manufacturing Guidebook

  Arizona, Business, Florida No Comments

  CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ — The Manufacturing Enterprise
  Solutions Association, MESA International, today announced that it has added a
  new track on industrial Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to its Annual
  Plant-To-Enterprise Conference: Delivering on Strategies, which will take
  place September 21-23, 2008 at Rosen Plaza, Orlando, Florida. The association
  has also published the new SOA in Manufacturing Guidebook, available for free
  to premium MESA members at the conference and through immediate online
  download at the MESA web site.

  “Due to overwhelming response, MESA has added a new educational track on
  Service Oriented Architecture to help attendees in the ongoing formulation,
  design and integration of SOA in their production environments,” explained
  Michael Yost of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms and MESA Conference Co-Chair.
  “In this track, operations and IT teams can learn how leading manufacturers
  are using SOA to deliver on corporate strategic initiatives such as lean,
  quality and PLM.”

  Sessions in the new industrial SOA track include:
  — SOA in Manufacturing Panel Discussion, moderated by Cap Gemini and IBM
  — Excellence in Work Processes, presented by Chevron
  — A Lean SOA Approach Enables “Build Anywhere,” presented by Boeing
  — Interoperability Compliance Completes the SOA Business Case, presented
  by 3M

  At the conference, premium MESA members will receive a copy of the new SOA
  in Manufacturing Guidebook on CD. This guidebook describes the concepts that
  have evolved into SOA and dives deeply into how the concepts are being
  formalized and applied to manufacturing IT environments. Chapters range from
  an overview of SOA to using standards to get the full SOA benefit.

  “As the manufacturing solution landscape evolves, both end users and
  solution providers are striving to discover common approaches that facilitate
  collaboration across applications, people, geographies and other perceived
  boundaries,” explained Dave Noller, IBM IT Architect and co-author of the
  guidebook. “This evolution in manufacturing mirrors the growing maturity of
  SOA which continues to gain favor and use by practitioners around the world.”

  The new guidebook is the culmination of a collaborative effort with
  experts from several member companies. Nearly 70 pages, the guidebook includes
  an appendix of examples of successful SOA implementations. MESA will augment
  this section with an ever-growing library of examples and references from
  different industries.

  GLENDALE, Ariz., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ — ModernMed,
  http://www.ModernMed.com, announced its partnership with Dr. Neil J. Sapin of
  Arrowhead Internal Medicine Specialists, http://www.ModernMed.com/Sapin, to
  provide patients with primary care focused on prevention and aging well.
  Enhanced service offerings include same day or next day appointments
  guaranteed, an annual comprehensive wellness exam, direct access to Dr. Sapin
  and personalized health planning.

  “ModernMed has the power to change the landscape of primary care,” said
