BreakThru Radio Artist Receives Praise From Vibe Magazine
With the launch of BreakThru Radio (BTR) last summer, more than 300 artists have been showcased and now have a fan base of more than 2.5 million a week. R&B singer David Goode was one of the first artists to develop a following through BTR and has been chosen as Vibe’s “Unsigned Draft Pick” in their latest issue.
“I started getting air play on a few college stations such as 91.3 WVUD (University of Delaware), but I feel that BTR has definitely helped me reach a fan base I was not able to reach on my own,” said Goode. “I feel that internet radio, especially BTR, is huge because it allows an artist to reach out independently. Now an artist can have a growing fan base built up that's huge without ever getting air play on a major station.”

Credit Index Shows Current Economic Strength
The U.S. economy continues to show expansion with gains in the manufacturing and service sectors, according to the latest economic study produced by the National Association of Credit Management (NACM).
The Combined Credit Manager’s Index (CMI) showed an increase for July, with all three indices increasing on a month-over-month and year-over-year basis. According to commentary and analysis provided by Euler Hermes ACI Chief Economist Dan North, the CMI indicates continued economic expansion and had few “dramatic swings” in July with the exception of a 4.6% increase in favorable components for the manufacturing sector. “The survey once again describes an economy which has had enough strength and momentum to overcome the obstacles of a tightening Fed, inflation fears, high energy prices, a weak stock market, and a wobbly consumer,” said North. These challenges continue to cloud the nation’s future economic picture, particularly the uncertainty of whether or not the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.
Manufacturing Sector
The manufacturing sector index for July rose on a seasonally adjusted basis 0.9%. The rise was driven mostly by an increase in the sales component of 5.8% and an increase in the amount of credit extended of 9.6%. Both of these top-line oriented indices bode well for future growth.
Services Sector
The July service sector index rose only 0.1% on a seasonally adjusted basis. There were no particularly notable movements which would suggest a significant shift or pattern, but six of the ten components rose.
July 2006 vs. July 2005
On a year over year basis, the combined CMI rose 1.3%, while the Manufacturing sector rose 0.8% and the Services sector rose 1.8%. Eight out of ten components for the combined CMI rose, while seven of ten rose in both the manufacturing and services sectors. Overall, the indices reflect the strong economy of the past several quarters.

Two Denver Entrepreneurs Launch Tag Your Glass to Help Partygoers Keep Track of Their Drinks
Whether your drink of choice is beer, a stiff martini, a super dry Chianti or just a cup of tea, we all set our drinks down at social gatherings and inevitably lose track of them. Wine charms, the sometimes cute and downright kitschy baubles that identify someone's glass of wine, are, well, charming, but they don't work on any glass without a stem. And if you're drinking your beverage of choice out of a bottle or can, there's virtually no way to identify that it's yours. What's a partygoer to do?
