New York, NY (PRWEB) - EMI Resorts has announced that it is preparing to file a multi-million dollar breach of contract lawsuit in the State of New York against Alpha Media Group, Inc. (court case # 08-CIV.7944 SAS) against the publisher of Maxim magazine.
EMI Resorts spent millions of dollars in customized construction, development, promotion and licensing costs to create and position the “Maxim Bungalows” brand of resorts as one of the premier resorts in the Dominican Republic, pursuant to a License Agreement with the predecessor to Alpha Media. EMI Resorts will allege that Alpha Media failed to provide the marketing and sales support that they were obligated to provide pursuant to the License Agreement. Further, EMI Resorts will allege that Alpha Media breached the License Agreement by purporting to terminate the Agreement without justifiable cause.
Recently, Alpha Media has brought an application in a New York court for a preliminary injunction requiring EMI Resorts to refrain from any further use of the Maxim mark. EMI Resorts completely denies the allegations contained in Alpha Media’s application materials and takes the position that such allegations are completely without merit. In view of Alpha Media’s alleged breach of the parties’ License Agreement, EMI Resorts has discontinued the use of the Maxim brand.

Sugar Museum in Maui, Hawaii.
Honolulu.– Representatives from across the United States, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Philippines, Europe and Australia had the opportunity to get a glimpse into Hawaii’s sugar production during the recent 25th International Sugar Symposium.
The symposium, conducted in Big Island, Hawaii, was sponsored by the American Sugar Alliance. Hawaii is the only place in the United States that is still harvesting sugarcane during the month of August.
Symposium attendees saw the island’s harvest firsthand. Hawaii is the ultimate tourist destination, but agriculture has long been the economic driver of many small communities on the island. The beautiful state has some of the most fertile soil used produce sugar cane, and it was once a dominant force in the industry.
By the mid-1990s, more than 70 percent of the state’s sugar industry had vanished. But the sugar industry remains important to the islands, said Alan Kennett with Gay and Robinson, Inc., a sugar company in Hawaii. “Not only are we a top employer in the state, but we could become even more important as the industry looks to get into the energy business,” he said.
Sucrose ethanol was one of the chief topics discussed at this year’s symposium. Hawaii’s Congressman Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, was leading speaker on energy issue.
