WHAT:  On the heels of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's
        announcement that kids should understand more about money,
        financial media company Minyanville (www.minyanville.com) is
        heeding the call with Minyanland (www.minyanland.com), the
        world's first financial virtual community and game site for
        kids.

       Minyanville founder and CEO Todd Harrison stated, "It is our
        responsibility to teach children the basic tenets of financial
        decision making at the earliest age possible. If they can
        learn with a smile on their face, they're more likely to
        absorb the concepts of earning, spending, saving and giving.
        This is precisely why we launched MinyanLand."

WHERE: Using the iconic symbols of Wall Street, MinyanLand
        (www.minyanland.com) features Hoofy the Bull and Boo the Bear
        to communicate to kids the importance of strong financial
        understanding and planning. Kids and parents can participate
        together to learn about the important concepts of earning,
        saving, spending and giving through entertaining online games
        and activities.
