Summit Business Media today
announced that Andrew L. Goodenough has been named President and CEO.  The CEO title
was previously held by William F. Reilly.  Reilly, one of the most successful
investors in B2B media, will continue to serve as Chairman, in a non-executive
capacity, and remains a major investor in Summit.  Goodenough, 52, was named
President of Summit in September 2007.

"Going into the formation of Summit in November 2006, my plan was to drive
the initial growth of the business for several years as CEO, and then step
back to the Chairman role," Reilly said.  "I am delighted to be able to report
that Summit, in less than two years, is off to a great start and has taken its
place as a major B2B media company with more than 26 magazine titles, 150
reference books and electronic products and 100 live events.  We've built a
best-in-class management team led by Andy Goodenough, and I'm pleased to be
able to step back to that Chairman role sooner than expected and turn over the
day-to-day executive reins to Andy and his team."

"We are very pleased with Summit's success to date and Andy's role in
leading us to this point," said Jim TenBroek, Managing Director at Wind Point
Partners, Summit's largest investor.  "We also have the utmost respect for
Bill Reilly as a gifted manager and trusted friend in initiating this
transition.  We look forward to continue working with him as Chairman and
investor.  Moving forward, Andy Goodenough and his strong management team are
well positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they continue to
implement Summit's growth strategy."

Summit Business Media was formed in November 2006 through Wind Point
Partners' acquisition of Highline Media and Pfingsten Publishing in
partnership with Reilly and management of Highline Media.

Goodenough has been a senior B2B executive and entrepreneur for more than
30 years.  He was President of USB Corporation and Publisher of U.S. Banker
before its sale to Thomson Media in 1993, and then served as the President of
Thomson's Banking Publishing/Conferences Group.  The group published and
hosted more than 80 products and events including American Banker, U.S.
Banker, Bank Technology News, National Mortgage News, Credit Union Journal and
many others.  Goodenough later created the business plan for a new financial
services information company in 2002, secured equity funding from Spire
Capital in January 2003 and in October of that year, launched Highline Media
and acquired The National Underwriter Company, now a core asset in Summit's
operations.  Highline Media was acquired as part of the formation of Summit in
November 2006.

Goodenough is a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont and holds an MBA
degree in finance and marketing from New York University.

Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE) Closed at $0.41. Today announced that Total Fluid Solutions Inc. (TFS), its wholly-owned subsidiary, has signed a master lease agreement with an oil and gas company with operations in Texas, Kansas and Wyoming, to use TFS's safe, effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil from produced water. Under the terms of the contract, Wescorp Energy will construct, deploy and operate up to 256 water remediation units and provide trained technicians qualified to operate and service the equipment.

The lease rates for this contract will provide Wescorp with a full return of capital expenses and each unit will provide positive cash flow in less than 12 months. Under the terms of this contract, there are 5 standard through-put or volume capacity designs for the water remediation units being 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 barrels per day (BBLS/day). The daily lease rate is determined by the through-put capacity of each particular unit, with rates ranging from $900 to $2500 per day.

"This order for up to 256 of our patented water remediation units is monumental for Wescorp," commented Mark Norris, Chairman of Wescorp Energy and former Minister of Economic Development in the Alberta Provincial Government on the completing of the lease contract. "The anticipated reoccurring revenue from these units is expected to allow the company to grow by quantum leaps.

This technology has been designed and constructed to operate in oil and gas fields for the life of the producing wells - often as long as 15 or 20 years. We believe that this large initial order, primarily based on results from our 2,000 barrel-per-day commercial test unit, will lead to strong product acceptance by the industry. By reducing the amount of hydrocarbon in the produced water, this technology reduces environmental liabilities, the frequency of service and repairs on disposal and injection wells, and recovers additional hydrocarbons. Environmentally conscious companies are winning by reducing operation costs and increasing operating margins."

As businesses are getting more environmentally conscious, this phenomenon has fuelled businesses across the world to use Business to Business (B2B) portals as their international business tool for all their trading needs. However, in the early 1990's, though the concept was well accepted by the business world, traders were skeptical about the positive results. But today leading B2B portals have proved beyond doubt the world that the concept is not only fast and cost effective, but also an eco-friendly medium to do international trade.

Top trade shows still attract many companies to showcase their products and services, but a majority of small and medium enterprises (SME) have totally resorted to do the same through B2Bs. And this in fact, has reduced unnecessary movement of people and commodities to several such shows resulting in lowering cost of marketing as well as energy to every business entity involved.

Besides, instead of traveling to meet a new client to a foreign land, traders found this new rendezvous in the form of B2B portal. In business development process, after making initial interactions through emails, they sometimes even confirm their business facilities through video-conferencing before inking the deals, and this too is made possible through B2Bs.

According to studies, more than 60% of SME utilize the services of B2Bs directly or indirectly. Though there is a flurry and mushrooming of several B2Bs with claims of providing complete business solutions, leading B2Bs are still largely sought after in the e-commerce arena.

B2Bs are environmentally appealing mainly because of the non-involvement of any kind global warming material being used in the business development process.

. The complete business process except product delivery involves just electronic interaction and transaction.

. Products or services are presented to the client/clients by redirecting them to their respective websites from their B2B profile or through the same profile itself depending upon the B2B package their have opted for.

. Avoids physical presence in all stages of business, and in abstract services even delivery is made electronically.

B2Bs generated huge revenues as compared to other business models engaged in global trade without emitting any harmful green house gases or cutting trees which was otherwise used extensively in paper-based business processes of the past. Perhaps serious concern for the deteriorating health of the environment due to climate change and other related issues have prompted businesses to take a paradigm shift to opt for B2Bs.

Most B2Bs expect bringing in such awareness among traders will also help these portals to grow besides other positive aspects. In addition, these portals hope environmentally conscious traders to market B2B concept to non-users through word of mouth or other means to adopt it as part of 'save the planet slogan'. Some of the B2Bs provide even international services including transport, go-between and other services, besides the regulars, import and export to put their use into good effect.

Apart from the eco-friendly aspects of these portals there are other attractive reasons for traders to adopt this model such as, negligible cost involved in marketing operations of any given company, user-friendliness and not to mention the speed in delivering goods. Though there are any scales to measure the amount or number of benefits to the environment after the arrival of B2B portals is available, looking into the features as well as the time presence, one is made to believe, they have made a huge positive impact in the eco front. The eco-conscious traders, if they have not started utilizing these services, will certainly adopt this business tool as a medium for their global and even for their domestic trading needs very soon.
