TRENTON, NEW JERSEY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/05/09 -- Falken Industries Ltd (OTCBB: FLKI) -

The Clean Plus® Product Group, purveyor of the FLKI original concept recently launched a new innovative FLKI product concept aimed precisely at consumer, professional and industrial use. The product is a derivative of a product conceived and manufactured for the military. This FLKI conception is a single use instant Hand Cleansing wipe impregnated with the proprietary SN10® solution which kills 99.9% of germs when used to wipe and clean hands.

The product has been approved by tough EU regulations and norms for use in the food industry. Bio-degradable, the product cannot even be criticized for its single use and dispose practicality since it comes at no cost to the environment. The product as most products conceived by the FLKI research team is "Eco Pledge" certified.

"It smacks of Christmas for shareholders" said Manuel Garcia communications officer for the company.

Thanks to its leadership position in the distribution of FLKI product conceptions targeting disinfection the Group's 380 distributors world wide are inundated with inquiries from industrial and commercial concerns. And with just cause. These businesses have a clear vested interest in protecting their employees from the so-called swine flu. It takes little more than a Clean Plus® stainless steel health and food industry approved wall dispenser and a bucket of 800 wipes affixed in gyms, offices, toilets, at doorways separating manufacturing activities, just about anywhere. And for the car, purse, home, a conditioned product exist for that as well.

"This group of product conceptions is booming" continued Garcia. "Our global leadership in product designs and conceptions was key to instant client and regulatory sanction, and our wide range of product offerings and conditioning at the lowest prices available just clinched it." added Garcia.

The crisis has not proven a deterrent to sales of FLKI product conceptions because quality and price advantages are constant. The pandemic is also a powerful motor to dislodging cash - the alternative of an outbreak of flu within the organization is too painful to contemplate. "In litigious countries like the US the absence of our product could be alleged a gross and egregious act of negligence!" added Garcia with a smile. Businesses are taking the cue, its no laughing matter - for some in the food industry the difference could mean being and staying in business.

As the disease seems to be spreading, prevention is more and more getting the emphasis. "There couldn't be a more appropriate time for the idiom an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Concluded Garcia

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

It's been a long time since someone tackled "New York, New York".

Not since Frank Sinatra has a version of the song been recorded in a serious manner, but Brian Evans has gone the distance, and has tackled the song.

"People typically avoid this staple song for some reason, but honestly, there needs to be more people out there recording this material," says Evans.

Evans, the opening act for Jay Leno and Joan Rivers, among others, has released his new version of the classic song, written originally for Liza Minnelli, and he's done so in great form.

"New York, New York" is the grand-daddy of the crooner genre," says Evans.

Evans is currently recording his major label debut, which will feature a duet with Kelly Osbourne, and is being produced by Grammy nominated producer Chris Walden (Diana Krall/Barbra Streisand).

The single is now available at Amazon.com, which may be directly accessed at http://www.amazon.com/New-York/dp/B002XQKBIK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1260015726&sr=8-9

The song is a prelude of things to come as Evans works on his latest CD release, which will feature 8 original songs and 5 covers. His music is heard on hit shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Big Shots," and his version of "I've Got The World On A String" was recently used in the major motion picture "The Wedding Weekend."

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 5, 2009) - Canada's Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime, Steve Sullivan, today released the following statement to mark the upcoming National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada on December 6, 2009:

"Today my thoughts are with the women in Canada who have been victims of violence, and with the families and loved ones who have lost their mothers, their sisters, their daughters and their friends to violent crime.

Violence against women affects all of us in our communities, countries and around the world. For example, we know that in almost 40% of cases where women were assaulted by their spouses, children witnessed the violence against them (either directly or indirectly) and that in many cases the violence was severe(1). The consequences this can have on children and their development cannot be underestimated.

Beyond the emotional scars, violence against women has an impact on our collective productivity and economy. Studies of the economic costs of violence against women to victims and society estimate that costs to health, criminal justice, social services and lost productivity range in the billions of dollars(2).

Today, on this the National Day of Remembrance and Action, I encourage everyone to consider how well we are addressing the issue of violence in our communities, and how we can work together to provide a safer world for women. We must learn from, and build on, our past successes and failures to make communities safer and services more accessible for women to come forward."

The Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime helps victims to address their needs, promotes their interests and makes recommendations to the federal government on issues that negatively impact victims.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On International Volunteer Day, Alcoa President and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld congratulated the record 23,000 Alcoa employees who took part in the company's 2009 Worldwide Month of Service - volunteering in 800 community events to support those in need and invest in the sustainability of our planet.

The annual Worldwide Month of Service program brings together Alcoa's global workforce to make a positive difference in the communities where they live and work - this year partnering with nearly 1,900 not-for-profit community organizations across 23 countries.

Despite the challenging year, employee involvement in the company-wide initiative soared in 2009 - demonstrating a commitment to working in partnership to meet the challenges of the economic downturn and addressing priority community concerns such as climate change.

Through the efforts of Alcoa employees during this month of intensive service activity over 14,000 meals were served to those in need, 4,000 charitable campaigns held to collect and distribute food and clothing, and 11,000 trees planted.

"It is really inspiring to see our people volunteering to make a positive difference in the lives of others around the globe, applying the same collective energy, talent and passion that has steered Alcoa through this challenging year," said Kleinfeld.

"Alcoa has a proud culture of volunteering and we chose International Volunteer Day to announce these achievements to further recognize our people and the way they add real value across our communities."

Over 190,000 people across Alcoa and the broader community have participated in the Month of Service initiative since its inception in 2006.

Month of Service is the centerpiece of year-round volunteer efforts by Alcoa employees, who last year gave 705,000 hours of voluntary service - the equivalent of more than 350 people working full-time.

In addition to supporting communities in this way, the efforts of Alcoa employees further deepen the company's long-term commitment to environmental sustainability, reflected by the Alcoa Foundation's $24M commitment to community-based conservation projects since 2006 - and the company's action to plant 10 Million Trees, to recycle, and to find solutions to global climate change on all fronts.

In 1985, the General Assembly of the United Nations designated December 5 for an annual celebration of all that is achieved by volunteers; International Volunteer Day is celebrated in more than half the world's countries. Details can be found at www.worldvolunteerweb.org.
