What:
 Founders Robert and Marion Einbeck, Director, Anthony Fabian and
 Fashion Designer, Catherine Malandrino from the 15th Annual Time
 for Peace Film & Music Awards, will preside over the NASDAQ opening
 bell.

 The 15th Annual Time For Peace Film & Music Awards, will take place
 at the Jumeirah Essex House.  Founded in 1994 by Marion and
 Robert Einbeck, the Time For Peace Film & Music Awards recognizes
 outstanding projects and people in entertainment that promote
 humanist values such as tolerance, respect for differences, better
 understanding between people and the preservation of our shared
 environment. Each year a panel of experts selects the nominees,
 and a jury committee consisting of 20-30 ambassadors to the U.N. -
 itself deeply concerned with promoting humanist values - chooses
 the winners.  The Einbecks are currently working on an
 international expansion of Time For Peace, which will include a
 permanent architecturally stunning art space (location to be
 determined) that will be devoted to supporting and promoting
 humanist values and good will throughout the world.   The space
 will house a cinema, a concert hall, an exhibition hall, a
 cafeteria and retail center, all dedicated to the arts.  It is
 their dream to establish this venture in 2015.

 This year's winners of the Time for Peace Awards include:
 FILM:  Filmmaker, Mark Herman for The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
 FIRST FILM: Filmmaker Anthony Fabian for Skin
 EUROPEAN FILM:  Filmmaker Philippe Muyl for Magic
 MUSICAL GROUP: The Hjaltalin for their song "The Trees Don't Like
 the Smoke"
