Before simply selecting and installing new fixtures, Cameco was presented with solutions from Cooper Lighting's entire LED product offering. In addition to showcasing its wide range of options, Cooper was also able to illustrate just how much time and money the company has invested in LED technology. After testing and reviewing the options, Cameco settled on Cooper Lighting's Lumark Wal-Pak LED Series.

Cooper Lighting's Lumark Wal-Pak series combines traditional architectural style with high-performance energy efficient illumination. All luminaires feature a rugged die-cast aluminum construction, hinged removable door, stainless steel hardware and a sealed and gasketed optical compartment making them virtually impenetrable to contaminants.

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Sep 25, 2012) - A year and two days after the City of Chicago amended zoning codes to allow local urban agriculture, the city of Chicago has moved to the forefront of urban center food production by licensing Chicago's first indoor (vertical) farm company, SkyyGreens Aquaponics.

Two weeks ago, SkyyGreens Aquaponics became the first and, at present, only licensed indoor farm in Chicago.In July of last year, Mayor Rahm Emanuel gave a prominent speech highlighting local farms job creation potential within Chicago city limits.Soon thereafter, the city of Chicago's city council backed the mayor by voting to reduce zoning laws clearing the path for urban farming within Chicago.

SkyyGreens Aquaponics, founded by former classmates from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, was formed out of frustration in trying to source local organic produce year round.Like many urban consumers, Chicagoans were looking for local, organic produce options.However, due the Chicago climate, traditional outdoor farms -- even if 'hyperlocal' and within city limits -- could not satisfy year around demand.SkyyGreens had a solution: take the farm indoors.

In the year following the mayor's announcement and city council vote, SkyyGreens researched and tested best practices for growing produce indoors.The team also experimented with lighting technology and various aquaponic/hydroponic methods to determine the optimal indoor environment to grow produce.After countless tasting sessions with chefs that featured local produce, the outcome was always the same, "this tastes great, but when will more be available?"

So the SkyyGreens team next tackled the business problem.Can an indoor farm startup become a scalable, profitable enterprise?SkyyGreens put their business assumptions to the test this past summer in the startup capital of the world, Silicon Valley, CA.SkyyGreens presented their business model to a group of venture capitalists and 'super' angel investors as part of a business plan competition where SkyyGreens tied for first place. This gave the SkyyGreens team additional confidence that their indoor farm was ready for the market!

Headquartered in Chicago, SkyyGreens is committed to providing local, organic produce to major cities 365 days a year. For more information, contact SkyyGreens at 1-800-723-3093 or http://www.skyygreens.com. Follow SkyyGreens on Facebook.com/skyygreens or Twitter @skyygreens.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - A Mobile entrepreneur is hoping his "e-cig" shop will help smokers cope with the city's smoking ban, set to take effect in October.

On Oct. 1, a smoking ordinance passed by the Mobile City Council takes affect. The ordinance bans smoking in most businesses and public outdoor areas. Ernest Jackson plans to open a shop which, by selling electronic cigarettes, could allow smokers to continue their nicotine habit while circumventing the ban.

E-Cigarette is nowhere in the ban, so where you would normally be able to smoke, now, come October 1 you won't be able to, said Jackson, who plans to call his shop Smokers Dream. You should still be able to use these without a problem.

Jackson's store opens October 1, the same day the smoking ban takes effect. The electronic cigarettes that will be sold there are inhalers that vaporize a nicotine solution into an aerosol mist.

Authors of a 2010 study by Boston University's School of Public Health said evidence shows the e-Cig's to be safer than tobacco cigarettes and comparable in toxicity to nicotine replacement products.

Jackson touted the benefits for those who dont smoke as well.

It's just water vapor, so there's no second-hand smoke, said Jackson.

The e-Cig device originated in China and made its U.S. appearance three years ago. Jackson said the devices are made of nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, distilled water and flavoring.

I was at my doctor's office and we were actually in the doctor's room and he allowed me to smoke it, said Michael Williams of Semmes.

Jackson said customers often ask him the same question: Can it help me quit smoking?
