            <title>From Gold Rush to Liquid Gold -- Re-Branding Sacramento as a Wine Country Hub</title>
            <link>http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=1079766&amp;sourceType=3</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwire - November 19, 2009) -  The six wine regions surrounding Sacramento
are leaving tourism dollars on the table, according to Grady O'Bryant,
owner of Sacramento Wine and Nightlife Tours.
&lt;p&gt;
"Sacramento's winery marketing plan is decades behind the more popular wine
regions such as Napa and Sonoma," O'Bryant says.
&lt;p&gt;
Last year, more than 20 million people visited California wine country,
adding $51.8 billion to the state's economy, according to a recent study
commissioned by the Wine Institute. With increased marketing efforts,
O'Bryant believes that Sacramento could garner a larger share of that
revenue.

            <link>http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=1077731&amp;sourceType=3</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) -  Cyber Monday -- the online version of
Black Friday -- is just around the corner falling on November 30 this year.
However, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF), holiday-related
spending is expected to drop from last year by 3.2 percent. With the
economy still in a slump, shoppers need to know how to take advantage of
the savings available to them. The fact is, that with consumer spending
down, retailers are forced to slash prices even more in order to drive
sales -- which means bigger savings are attainable for those who know where
to look.
