Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets: UPZS - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=UPZS.PK ) Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, is ready to enter the Atlanta, Georgia market in a big way. Franchisee Christy Connor has site approvals done in the very attractive Buckhead and Midtown areas of Atlanta. Unique Pizza and Subs will open 8 (eight) new locations and an additional 20 (twenty) stores through conversion of existing independent pizza restaurants by the end of 2007. Total sales of $12,534,000 are projected for the region based on per-store sales estimates. Ms. Connor expects to have her first of eight locations (Buckhead, GA) open by August 2006.

Jack Carroll, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Unique Pizza and Subs, stated, "The South clearly represents a huge growth opportunity for our conversion model. Expanding in the key market of Atlanta, one of the south's largest and most vibrant markets, opens the door for rapid development of our franchise throughout the region. Our commitments to open twenty-eight new stores, in the ninth largest market in the U.S., is another strong indication to our shareholders and the investment community our steadfastness for national expansion."

This is another major step forward for Unique Pizza and Subs. The overall demand for franchises has been very strong based on the continued enthusiasm of people wanting to open franchises in new markets. This has investors excited about growth because they can see this trend continuing for an extended period of time. The overwhelming interest also increases the rate at which they will be able to convert existing pizza shops into Unique Pizza and Subs. This will allow them to exceed growth forecasts and accelerate their corporate plans to be a top pizza franchise in the U.S. Other markets slated for opening this summer are: Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Milwaukee, WI; Norfolk, VA; and Pittsburgh, PA.

GHL Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GHLT - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GHLT.PK ) GHL Technologies, Inc., a holding company focusing on acquisitions, strategic alliances, and partnerships with companies on the cutting edge of the GPS and telematics industry, announced its intent to apply with the NASD for listing on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).

The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, latest sales prices and volume information for more than 3,300 domestic and international over-the-counter securities. Additional information regarding the OTCBB is available on its website at http://www.otcbb.com .

GHL Technologies announced its public status in April 2006 and is currently listed on the OTC Pink Sheets. The company's management team is now initiating the application process and anticipates NASD approval of its OTCBB listing by the end of 2006 or early 2007.

"The benefits of OTCBB listing will include greater visibility for our company as well as access to more than 230 participating market makers and improved access to investment capital," said Gene Hew-Len, CEO of GHL Technologies.

MMC Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: MMCN - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MMCN.OB ) MMC Energy, Inc. (f/k/a High Tides Ventures, Inc.) announced the completions of a stock-for-stock merger with MMC Energy North America, LLC ("MMC"), a North American energy asset acquisition and management company. The Company will retain MMC's senior management team led by Chairman and CEO Karl W. Miller, President Marty Quinn, and CFO Denis Gagnon. The merger resulted in MMC becoming a publicly traded company, and MMC's management and Board of Directors have assumed operational control of the Company.

Concurrent with the closing of the merger, the Company completed a $12 million private placement financing to a group of institutional and accredited investors involving the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. Initially targeting the $6 million financing, the private placement was oversubscribed. The net proceeds from the financing will be used for general working capital purposes.

"We are extremely pleased to have completed our public listing, which will allow greater access to the global capital markets to support our ongoing growth objectives and allow for much greater global diversification of our shareholder base," said Karl W. Miller, Chairman and CEO of MMC.

"The energy sector is critical to our domestic security and our nation's economic recovery. The industry needs strong leadership with competent management and operators in control of these critical generation and energy infrastructure assets," said Miller.

The power generation industry is recovering from a cyclical downturn after a period of overbuilding that ultimately resulted in depressed wholesale power prices and industry wide restructuring. Many newly constructed and existing generation facilities were highly levered and became financially distressed during the downturn. MMC's strategy is to acquire such distressed assets that can immediately benefit from MMC's direct operational management approach and injection of new capital.

The effective date of the merger was May 15, 2006. In connection with the merger, the Company completed a split-off transaction, which divested the Company of its prior business operations and the assets and liabilities associated with that business to its then controlling shareholders. As the result of the merger and the split-off, the Company has abandoned its prior business plan and operations and has adopted the business plan and operations of MMC, and has changed the address of its principal executive offices to 26 Broadway, Suite 907, New York, New York 10004.

Blackout Media Corp (Pink Sheets: BKMP - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BKMP.PK ) Blackout Media Corp is pleased to inform its shareholders that it has purchased another 65,000,000 shares as part of the stock buy back program, this in addition to the 543,000,000 shares that were already purchased by the company, bringing the total share purchased pursuant to the share buy back plan to 608,000,000.

"With the recent developments of the company the share buy back has helped support the overall corporate strategy of the company and we will continue to support the company and work to create shareholder value for all those shareholders that have supported us," stated Sandy Winick, President of Blackout.
