Friends,

It's been a great month and a half. We've made TREMENDOUS progress on the site, and are finally ready to officially launch to the masses via a number of venues. What updates were completed you ask?

• The entire site became Search Engine Optimized
• Added social networking bookmarking links (Digg, StumbleUpon, Facebook and other options at the bottom of each article or page)
• Added the BABY Pool! BET ON MY BABY AND WIN! You're also supporting a GREAT charity, so why not?
• Added the Menu Pet Foods (tainted dog/cat food from China) class action lawsuit settlement
• Updated all of the links in the lawsuit settlement pages so they go through our redirector and we can keep track of how many times they're clicked.

So, what else is going on? First, the official press release is coming out via PRWeb on Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 at 9:15 AM PST. Keep an eye out for it! The press release is specifically about the Baby Pool, with a blurb about the site at the end of the article. I'm hoping it will not only help draw traffic to the site, but help us increase the participation in the Baby Pool. The more people who participate, the bigger the pot and the more we can donate to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It's a win for everyone!

What are we watching right now? The Sprint and Verizon ETF class action lawsuits ended poorly for both wireless vendors. It appears as though the California residents in the Verizon suit will be getting a check in the mail automatically over the coming months. Unfortunately this hasn't spread out across the rest of the U.S. So far only California. Sprint ended up LOSING as well, and the judge made it plain that he plans on coming to the same ruling for other Carriers currently battling it out in the California courts. Will this be the end of Early Termination Fees as we know them? We'll have to wait and see. If you're a California resident and been charged an ETF get ready to receive a refund in the coming months! Hooray for you!

On to the Baby. . . She's getting bigger and bigger in Mommy's belly! I have to tell you, this has been an amazing experience for my wife and I. It's so great to be able to see and FEEL my little baby moving around in my wife's belly. God does amazing things, and that's evident in the miracle we call pregnancy. I feel very lucky to have such a beautiful and happy wife with a baby on the way. We've also been quite happy that so far my wife has had a very pleasant experience! She's mentioned multiple times that she's really enjoyed it. That is until now of course, the baby is so big that the room in the belly is decreasing and she's become a little kicking machine! Every kick means a healthy baby though, so hopefully we won't run into any complications over the next month.

Thanks for all of your support over the past few months as we got this site up and through MANY changes. It's been an experience, and I've learned a tremendous amount. Please make sure to sign up for the mailing list so we can keep you apprised of the latest class action settlement developments.

Warm Regards,

Scott Hardy
