<p>MineCore Recoups $1 Million in Previously Written Off Assets<br />
Marketwire Thurs April 16, 2009 12:40pm ET<br />
MCIO has not yet opened, here is a recap from Friday.<br />
MCIO opened Fridays session unchanged at 0.25, and intraday was trading sideways at that level on sluggish volume, finally flatlining just after the midday, and closed unchanged at 0.25. Sometimes it takes awhile for investors to invest in a company&#8230;watching the volume and doing their DD, and now it seems that MCIO is on the radar. We expect for things to turn around soon, so buy low and gain! Price follows volume&#8230;.<br />
Read our profile on MCIO you will see what sets this exploration company apart from others&#8230;blue sapphires and several of their other subsidiaries that generate revenues! Buy on the dips, you&#8217;ll be glad that you did.<br />
Our massive Investor Awareness campaign for MCIO has put MCIO on the radar.<br />
MCIO moves on a small amount of volume, so it would be smart to make your own move into MCIO. Now is a great time to add MCIO to your portfolio if you already are an investor, or a excellent entry point if you are not.</p>

About SymPowerco<br />
SymPowerco is an energy technology company focused on the design and development of clean and practical power and energy solutions. Our mission is to make practical Fuel Cell Hybrid Power Systems a commercial reality. Our unique Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell offers a practical solution to a host of global environmental and energy challenges.<br />
Since the earliest days of manned space flight, the fuel cell has provided power for space craft. On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 Lunar Module landed on the moon. Its Command Module was powered by fuel cells. For decades man has reliably and safely powered space craft (and submarine systems, as well) with fuel cells, but a practical fuel cell, capable of powering even a small vehicle, has yet to be brought to the consumer market.<br />
SymPowerco’s majority-owned (70%) subsidiary, Polygenic Power Systems’ Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell not only runs on a renewable energy source, methanol, but we believe it has the potential to power the first practical and cost-effective fuel cell hybrid-powered vehicles offered to consumers. At SymPowerco, we believe we have the technology and the team required to bring an advanced, practical and rugged fuel cell to market.</p>

While President Obama recently issued an Executive Order that authorizes expanded federal funding for research using stem cells produced by destroying human embryos, the decision remains controversial as some believe that the Government should not fund the ongoing destruction of human embryos. In the coming months Congress will be debating altering or eliminating the Dickey Wicker Amendment which is at the core of this controversy. Advanced Cell Technology’s stem cell platform offers a compromise on this issue, as described in peer review scientific journals published over the past several years. Over 3000 healthy children have undergone the medical procedure, PGD, which is at the core of ACTC’s technology.<br />
“We believe that the issue of whether the Federal government should fund the destruction of human embryos has become unnecessarily politicized,” said William M. Caldwell IV, Chairman and CEO of Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. “ACTC has repeatedly demonstrated that it can develop stem cell lines without the destruction of the embryo utilizing its single cell blastomere technology. While we are fortunate that we have been able to secure financing to take our RPE program into the clinic, we feel that once the Federal government and scientific communities realize that it is possible, through the use of our technology platform, to satisfy the requirements of both conservatives and liberals, the Company should be able to secure significant federal funding to utilize this technology for research and development. Although we have previously announced receipt of small grants from the NIH, we have been rebuffed in our efforts to utilize this particular technology in federally funded programs. We offer a unique solution to a widely-debated problem which should under the current environment facilitate federal acceptance and funding for the application of our technology to new and existing research and development programs.”<br />
On March 11, the Company announced that it had secured the requisite funding for the expressed purpose to file an IND application this year, and to support both Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. An IND filing is required before a company can commence clinical trials. The Company believes its proprietary “single blastomere technology” has the potential to generate stable cell lines, including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells for the treatment of diseases of the eye. There are some 200 different retinal diseases that may be impacted by this stem cell derived therapy including macular degeneration, which represents a $28 billion dollar market. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects more than 30 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years of age in the United States.</p>

March 5 &#8211; Access Beverage/Sports Pouch Joint Venture Targets Single-Serve Premium Wine Market<br />
Expects to Add $2.5 Million in US Sales in First Year of Production<br />
Access Beverage, Inc. (OTC: ABVI), along with its joint venture partner, Sports Pouch Beverage Co. (OTC: SPBV), announced that their first product launch, featuring Sports Pouch&#8217;s patent-pending, eco-friendly pouch technology with a tamper proof push-pull spout, will focus on the single-serve premium wine market. The new line is expected to be distributed through major retail, specialty, and club stores nationwide, as well as airports, airplanes, trains, and cruise ships. The exclusive distribution of developed beverage lines to concert and sporting venues is also planned.<br />
“Changing consumer lifestyles are pushing retailers to carry more single-serve alcoholic beverages without sacrificing top-shelf quality or brand names,” said Access Beverage president, Ms. Diane Svehlak. “Replacing glass packaging with flexible, portable pouches helps retailers and wholesalers reduce their transportation costs and promote environmentally-friendly packaging. Our premium single-serve wine product using the Sports Pouch technology overcomes a long-standing hurdle affecting multiple industries where on- and off-premise consumption of alcohol in glass containers is prohibited. We expect this product line alone can contribute up to $2.5 million in US sales within our first year of production.”<br />
Sports Pouch CEO, Mr. Gil Arvizu, added, “As both our companies have considerable retail and institutional access, I expect our branded line of single-serve wines will achieve significant distribution and sales.

This is a major opportunity for us to create first-mover-advantage and gain substantial market penetration in this fast growing category.”<br />

FCStone Group, Inc., serves more than 8,000 customers and in the 12 months ended November 30, 2008, executed 98.0 million derivative contracts in the exchange-traded and over-the-counter markets.

Headquartered in the Midwest, it has offices located throughout the world and is a clearing member of all major North American Futures exchanges.<br />
FCSX News:<br />
March 12 &#8211; FCStone Group, Inc. Completes Transfer of Energy Trading Account<br />
Material Future Exposure to Account Eliminated<br />
FCStone Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCSX), an integrated commodity risk management firm, reported that it has transferred to a third party substantially all of the positions and liability related to a previously-reported energy trading customer account which had experienced significant losses. The transfer of the positions eliminates all material future exposure of FCStone to the account, for which FCStone provided clearing and execution services on a third-party basis, and preserves FCStone&#8217;s total available capital well in excess of regulatory requirements as FCStone moves forward.<br />
As a result of the transfer, during the second and third fiscal quarters of 2009, FCStone will incur a $90 million bad debt provision, in addition to the $20 million bad debt provision that was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The total bad debt provision related to this account of $110 million will be approximately $10 million higher than the aggregate of previously-announced provisions in the range of $80 to $100 million. This total bad debt provision includes an additional payment to the transferee necessary to enable the account to be transferred immediately, while prior estimates assumed that FCStone would continue to liquidate the positions in the energy account through the balance of fiscal 2009. The company expects to report realized losses associated with the account of approximately $54.4 million, or $1.95 per share, on an after-tax basis for the second and third quarters. These figures are net of the anticipated recovery of a portion of the losses on the energy account from the owners of the account and the introducing broker of that account, under agreements reached with each of the parties.<br />
Pete Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of FCStone, stated, “While there may have been residual value to be recognized from managing the liquidation of this account over time, the risk of doing so was exceptionally difficult to quantify in today&#8217;s volatile and illiquid commodities markets. As a result, we believe the transfer of the customer account to a major market participant with substantial liquidity and the ability to execute quickly was in the best interest of the company and its shareholders. Though the cost of this opportunity resulted in higher losses than previously expected, we believe the liquidation is critical to clearing the way for the stability, future growth and long-term profitability of FCStone while preserving a solid capital position.<br />
“Simply put, our management and board of directors determined that it is time to get on with our business, and focus on serving the thousands of customers who depend on our consulting and execution services. We are continuing to review and strengthen our credit risk procedures throughout the organization as a result of this issue and remain confident in our operating model,” Anderson concluded.<br />
After the transfer, the owner of the account will retain only those contracts that will expire on March 26, 2009. FCStone&#8217;s management believes that the exposure related to those retained contracts has been effectively hedged and is not material.<br />
Despite the increased bad debt provision, FCStone continues to have a strong capital position and liquidity in this unprecedented market. As of November 30, 2008, the company reported consolidated stockholders&#8217; equity of $222 million, which does not reflect the additional bad debt provision that will be recorded during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2009. The accrual of the additional bad debt provision and the transfer of the customer account position did not result in the violation of any of FCStone&#8217;s financial covenants contained in its financial agreements.<br />
The company&#8217;s futures commission merchant subsidiary, FCStone, LLC, had minimum regulatory capital requirements as of March 10, 2009, totaling approximately $35.7 million after considering the impact of the transfer. After taking the transfer into account, on that date the company would have had capital in excess of its regulatory requirement of $42.7 million, access to additional capital obtainable by the elimination of “haircuts” on investments totaling $8.0 million, and undrawn subordinated debt of $15.0 million, bringing the total available excess capital to $65.7 million. Putting that continued strong capital position in perspective, FCStone&#8217;s total available excess capital on February 28, 2008, was $39.8 million.<br />
FCStone expects to comment further on the transfer of the energy trading account and its fiscal second quarter financial results on its regular quarterly conference call, to be held on April 9, 2009. Details regarding that call will be released at a later date.</p>

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Acquiror has agreed to pay to the Company&#8217;s stockholders $2.50 in cash for each outstanding share of the Company&#8217;s common stock, representing a premium of approximately 212% over the closing share price of the Company&#8217;s common stock of $0.80 on March 11, 2009. Mr. and Mrs. Din and their family beneficially own approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock.<br />
The Company&#8217;s Board of Directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee comprised entirely of independent directors (the &#8220;Special Committee&#8221;), has approved the merger agreement and resolved to recommend that the Company&#8217;s stockholders vote in favor of the agreement.<br />
Dr. Mansoor Shah, Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated that, &#8220;A substantial and exhaustive review was made by the Special Committee and the independent Board of Directors before concluding that this transaction was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. With the ownership reverting to Bob Din and family, customers will benefit by being assured of his continued commitment to the high level of service that founded the Company.&#8221;<br />

The Company does not intend to disclose developments with respect to this solicitation process unless and until the Special Committee has made a decision with respect to the alternative proposals, if any, it receives. No assurances can be given that the solicitation of superior proposals will result in an alternative transaction.<br />
The merger agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, including covenants that the Company will run its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and will refrain from taking certain actions between the date of the merger agreement and the date of closing of the merger. The transaction is subject to obtaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including no material change in the Company&#8217;s representations and warranties prior to closing, the Acquiror&#8217;s ability to obtain sufficient financing (a debt financing commitment letter having been obtained) and holders of not more than ten percent of the Company&#8217;s outstanding common stock seeking appraisal rights of their shares. The transaction is subject to the approval of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock as well as the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock held by the Company&#8217;s disinterested stockholders (e.g. stockholders other than the Acquiror and Mr. and Mrs. Din and their family).<br />

The decision was made to amend the credit agreement, rather than just negotiate a covenant default waiver for the fourth quarter of 2008, in an effort to facilitate a full year of anticipated covenant coverage without regard to any potential debt payments related to the possible sale of assets. Providence was represented by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP as special credit counsel.<br />
The summary of certain terms of the Amendment in this press release is a summary of the final Amendment and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendment which the Company intends to file promptly with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>

DLKM is an emerging mineral exploration company focused on exploring and developing mining opportunities in Tanzania. The Company has a large portfolio of gold, copper, nickel, uranium and diamond prospecting licenses.<br />
DLKM News:<br />
February 10 &#8211; Douglas Lake Minerals&#8217; Mkuvia Project averages assay results of 1.60 grams of gold per cubic meter<br />
Harp Sangha, CEO/President of Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (OTCBB: DLKM) (Frankfurt: D60.F) announces the results from the analytical assessment of 129 bulk samples from the Company&#8217;s wholly-owned Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project &#8211; at 1.6 grams of gold per cubic meter.<br />
&#8220;We are thrilled that our February results of 1.6 grams per cubic meter exceed our expectations, as the economic cut-off grade for Mkuvia is 0.20 grams,&#8221; stated Harp Sangha. &#8220;The sampling of the Mkuvia alluvials took place in December, 2008 and was conducted by our Douglas Lake Tanzanian field crews. It consisted of a total of 129 measured 0.1 cubic metre samples of gold-bearing sand, and/or conglomerates. These samples were processed in the field to produce heavy mineral concentrates. These heavy mineral concentrates were split with a fraction of the concentrate generated from each sample, and then shipped to Eco-tech Laboratories in British Columbia for analysis&#8221;. Details of the assay data from the Mkuvia Project can be viewed on Douglas Lake&#8217;s website at:<br />
<a href="http://www.douglaslakeminerals.com/mkuviaresults.html">www.douglaslakeminerals.com/mkuviaresults.html</a>.<br />
These bulks sample results were derived as part of the same sampling program that confirmed that the Mkuvia project concentrates also contain significant amounts of platinum (see press release dated December 22, 2008). The analytical results from the assaying of the &#8220;splits&#8221; (fractions of the total concentrates recovered from individual samples) have been applied to total concentrate volumes to calculate gold grades per cubic metre. It should also be noted that the average gold grade in the conglomerates, which is the primary mining target, is 2.6 grams per cubic metre. The 2.6 grams is significantly higher than the average grade of the samples tested.<br />
During the past six months, Douglas Lake&#8217;s ongoing exploration program has indicated a gold mineralization area of 6 km. by 29 km. by 10 meters in depth of approximately 1.74 billion cubic meters. Significant values of platinum, uranium and thorium have also been found, which should add to the economic value of the property. The mineralized area remains open for increases in gold mineralization in length, width and depth. Currently, there are an additional 225 samples in for assay testing and the Company will release results as they are completed and assessed by our senior geologists.<br />
Since purchasing 100% of the Southeastern Tanzania Mkuvia Project in June 2008, Douglas Lake&#8217;s management has believed the four prospecting licences have the potential to become a world-class alluvial gold producing mine not unlike the Witwatersrand Gold Rush of 1886 that led to the establishment of Johannesburg, South Africa.<br />
After a brief Christmas hiatus and as the January rainy season ends, exploration work has commenced again. The Company cautions investors that ongoing sampling is required to ascertain a true average grade and fully assess the property&#8217;s potential.<br />

<p>Our strategic partner TIGMR, is a subsidiary of the China Geological Survey, a department of the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources. The Institute assists the Chinese government with special geological projects conducted in China and throughout the world and has achieved numerous earth science accomplishments.</p>
<p>The Tanzania Project </p>
<p>To take advantage of Tanzania&#8217;s rich natural resources, DLKM has a large portfolio of prospecting licenses. DLKM&#8217;s 55 licenses cover an area of more than 10,000 square km &#8211; with several properties in small-scale production and others already at an advanced stage of exploration. </p>
<p>The Company has a strong management and technical team, excellent exploration assets, a solid corporate structure, and access to capital, equipment, and geological expertise through its partnership with TIGMR. </p>
<p>The Mkuvia Gold Alluvial Project &#8211; DLKM&#8217;s Flagship Property </p>
<p>This property consists of four prospecting licenses covering 430 square kilometers. With economic grades between 1 and 5 grams, and in some areas as high as 40g/t, with potential economic grades of uranium. This property has the potential to be a world-class alluvial operation. It is currently in production generating between 150 to 200 ounces of high grade gold per month with no mechanized mining equipment. The Company plans to be in production with an estimated expenditure of $2 million. DLKM&#8217;s geological team is conducting systematic sampling and mapping work to help determine the potential of the property. An alluvial mining expert has been hired to assist in determining the size, make license applications and implement the mining operation. The Mkuvia Project is located in SE Tanzania and accessible by dirt and paved roads 650 km from Tanzania&#8217;s capital, Dar es Salaam.</p>
<p>The possibilities for discovery of gold, copper, nickel, uranium and diamonds are significant. In the absence of any exploration capital, the performance of a number of our concessions has already been proven by local artesian miners. Using primitive, non-mechanized methods, these local miners have discovered and extracted significant quantities of gold and diamonds. </p>
<p>Sincerely, </p>
<p>The Standout Stocks Team!</p>

CEO Richard Surber stated that, &#8220;I first want our shareholders, employees, and customers to be aware of some of the unique and traditional marketing efforts that have occurred over 2008 and how we plan to improve upon those efforts in 2009.&#8221;<br />
The following is a list of traditional media which include magazines, newspapers, mailers, radio, email, press releases, and other means that we have used or been featured in during 2008:</p>
<p>* Salt Lake Tribune with a weekly readership of approximately 900,000 which we recently ran a half page ad this last weekend.<br />
* Salt Lake Magazine is a high end magazine distributed throughout the Salt Lake Valley.<br />
* IN Utah This Week is a weekly newspaper that features our companies on a weekly basis to the hipster crowd and has a circulation of about 40,000.<br />
* Yellow Pages.<br />

* KCPW Radio is the local station for National Public Radio. Nexia is a proud supporter of this station.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our biggest and most effective way to get the word out on our salon products and services is word of mouth at the local level coupled with throwing events to show our appreciation for our clients. I am cultivating my success into our New Artist Stylists,&#8221; noted Logan Fast, Master Stylist at Landis Salons and newly appointed Vice President of Green Endeavors Ltd. (OTC: GRNE).</p>
<p>Fast continued, &#8220;In 2009, I will release more specifics on who we will be advertising with and how Nexia can generate further interest in its products and services. In addition to traditional marketing, I hope to be able to lay out how we intend to better inform the investment community about Nexia, this will focus heavily on our web presence.</p>
<p>&#8220;A critical element to Nexia&#8217;s success will be to make sure that Nexia&#8217;s marketing dollars continue to be well spent. I look forward to 2009 when our agreement with Clearvision International, Inc. kicks in with an estimated value of about $2M in media which should include celebrity endorsements, billboards, TV, radio, and more.&#8221;</p>

<p>COPPER KING MINING CORPORATION (OTC: CPRK)<br />
&#8220;Up 4.35% in morning trading&#8221;<br />
Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/CPRK.php<br />
Company Profile:</p>
<p>http://www.otcpicks.com/copper-king-mining/copper-king-mining.htm</p>
<p>Copper King Mining Corporation currently owns approximately 1200 acres in the Drum Mountains of Utah, which are patent deeded mining claims which contain gold, silver and copper. The company recently added to its holdings by filing six more claims on land which was inside their holdings, but not patent deeded. Contiguous to that acreage is approximately 1100 acres of claims filed by Western Utah Copper Company. As the companies explored the concept of a joint venture on the Drum Mountain properties, it was decided that a very viable consideration was to join the total assets of both companies. </p>
<p>CPRK News:</p>
<p>December 24 &#8211; Copper King Announces Compliance with Nevada Star Option and Agreement </p>
<p>Copper King Mining Corporation (OTC: CPRK) announced that its subsidiary, Western Utah Copper Company (WUCC), has fully complied with the Nevada Star Option and Agreement (the Option Agreement), by commencing production in full satisfaction with the requirements of the Option Agreement.<br />
Mr. Monty Moore, former president and CEO of Nevada Star at the time of the Option Agreement’s execution, in an private interview said, &#8221; WUCC has overcome nearly insurmountable odds and obstacles, such as no commercial power, in order to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the Option Agreement as written and agreed to at the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Nevada Star’s presiding officer at the time, Moore said, “WUCC has more than accomplished that which was agreed upon. The intent of the Option Agreement was that the properties be moved forward into production. In spite of periods of force majeure, properly excused by the Option Agreement, and even though substantial additional time still remains for WUCC to complete of the Option Agreement requirements as a result of the occurrence, recurrence and the extent of force majeure conditions, WUCC has steadily progressed in moving the project into production and fulfilling the requirements to complete the Option Agreement. Now, WUCC has constructed and is placing in operation a mill at a cost in excess of $50 million, and it certainly is apparent that completion of the Option Agreement requirements has been more than accomplished.”</p>

<p>December 30 &#8211; Constar International Inc. Receives Support from the Holders of a Majority in Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes for Plan to Reduce Debt and Annual Interest Expense<br />
Company Files Pre-Arranged Voluntary Chapter 11 Petition To Implement Debt-For-Equity Swap; No Other Creditor Classes Impaired Ongoing Business Relationships With Suppliers, Customers and Employees Not Impacted By Restructuring </p>
<p>Constar International Inc. (Nasdaq: CNST) announced that it has received support from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Company’s Subordinated Notes regarding a debt-for-equity exchange that will reduce the Company’s outstanding indebtedness by $175 million and reduce its annual interest expense by approximately $19.3 million. To implement this pre-arranged restructuring, Constar and certain of its subsidiaries today filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.</p>
<p>All of Constar’s global operations – including all of its manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S. and Europe – are open and operating on normal schedules, and the Company expects to continue to fulfill all customer orders as usual and provide uninterrupted customer service.<br />
Michael Hoffman, President and CEO of Constar, said, “We are pleased to have received support from the holders of a majority in principal amount of our subordinated notes for a pre-arranged and consensual restructuring that significantly improves our balance sheet by eliminating $175 million in debt, reduces our annual cash interest obligations by approximately $19.3 million, and frees up cash to reinvest in our business to support future growth. We intend to continue to operate as usual during the restructuring process with minimal disruption to the business and our constituencies. We intend to pay all of our obligations in full – which includes providing pay and benefits to our employees as usual, honoring all contracts, and paying suppliers in full.”</p>
<p>Pursuant to the Company’s proposed plan of reorganization, holders of the Subordinated Notes will convert 100% of the face amount of the Subordinated Notes and the full amount of the interest payment due December 1, 2008, which will not be paid, into common stock of the reorganized company. The Company’s current equity will be cancelled, but all other creditor classes will be unimpaired. Importantly, all obligations owed by the Company to trade creditors in the ordinary course of business will be paid in full under the plan. The Company anticipates that the restructuring will be completed by early spring of 2009.<br />
Allan Brilliant, partner at Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to an ad hoc committee of holders of the Subordinated Notes, said, &#8220;Our clients support the Company&#8217;s efforts to deleverage through a debt-for-equity exchange under a plan that proactively fixes the balance sheet and allows the company to realize its full potential.&#8221;</p>
<p>Christopher Pucillo, Chief Investment Officer of Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, the largest holder of Constar’s Subordinated Notes, said, &#8220;As the largest holder of Subordinated Notes, we support the deleveraging under the plan. We look forward to working with Constar to consummate the debt-for-equity exchange promptly to allow the Company to maximize its potential prospects going forward.&#8221;<br />
Constar also announced today that it has received commitments from its existing bank lenders to provide the Company with debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) and exit financing of $75 million. The DIP financing will help enable the Company to continue to satisfy customary obligations associated with ongoing operations of its business, including the timely payment of employee obligations, materials purchases, normal operating expenses and other obligations. The $75 million exit financing facility provides for committed financing for the three years following the closing of the DIP financing. In addition, Constar has filed a variety of customary first day motions with the Court that will allow it to continue to conduct business as usual while it completes the debt-for-equity restructuring.</p>

<p>Labopharm is an emerging leader in optimizing the performance of existing small molecule drugs using its proprietary controlled-release technologies. The Company&#8217;s lead product, a unique once-daily formulation of tramadol, is being commercially launched in key markets globally and its second product, a novel formulation of trazodone for the treatment of major depressive disorder, is under regulatory review by the FDA. The Company also has a robust pipeline of follow-on products in both pre-clinical and clinical development. Labopharm&#8217;s vision is to become an integrated, international, specialty pharmaceutical company with the capability to internally develop and commercialize its own products. </p>
<p>DDSS News:</p>
<p>December 31 &#8211; Labopharm Announces FDA Approval of Once-Daily RYZOLT™ (Tramadol HCL Extended Release Tablets) for Management of Moderate to Moderately Severe Chronic Pain<br />
Labopharm Inc. (Nasdaq: DDSS) (TSX: DDS) announced that RYZOLT™ (tramadol HCl extended release tablets), Labopharm&#8217;s once-daily formulation of the analgesic tramadol, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). RYZOLT is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults who require around-the-clock treatment of their pain for an extended period of time.<br />
&#8220;The approval of our first product in the United States is a major milestone for our Company and we look forward to our product&#8217;s launch in the world&#8217;s largest market for pain medications,&#8221; said James R. Howard-Tripp, President and Chief Executive Officer, Labopharm Inc. &#8220;We believe that RYZOLT offers physicians and patients an excellent option for the treatment of pain with the benefit of once-daily dosing. We look forward to the launch of our product by our marketing partner for the U.S., Purdue Pharma.&#8221;</p>
<p>RYZOLT is a centrally acting analgesic composed of a dual-matrix delivery system with both immediate-release and extended-release characteristics. Labopharm&#8217;s marketing partner for its product in the United States, Purdue Pharma L.P., anticipates launching RYZOLT tablets in 100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg dosage strengths in the second quarter of 2009.</p>
<p>The approval of RYZOLT is the first U.S. FDA approval that Labopharm has obtained for a medication using its patented Contramid® controlled-release technology for oral administration of solid dosage medications. Labopharm believes that its Contramid technology can be applied to a wide range of complex, small, highly water soluble molecules to control their release over a 24-hour period with a desired pharmacokinetic profile.<br />
Pain is a potentially debilitating condition that affects an estimated 75 million Americans &#8211; more than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. The United States is the world&#8217;s largest market for tramadol products with sales for the 12-month period ended September 2008 of more than US$650 million resulting from more than 25 million prescriptions, which have grown at a compounded annual rate of 11% over the last five corresponding periods. Labopharm believes, however, that RYZOLT will compete not only with other tramadol products, but also with other medications indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults who require around-the-clock treatment of their pain for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a society where people with pain are increasingly demanding simplified dosing regimens, this once-daily formulation of tramadol should be embraced by physicians and patients alike,&#8221; said Nicholas J. Messina III, MD, with Vista Medical Research Inc., Mesa, AZ, who was a principal investigator in the U.S. clinical studies on RYZOLT.</p>
<p>Labopharm will host a conference call on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 to discuss this announcement. Additional details for the conference call will be provided via separate news release shortly.<br />
ABOUT THE GLOBAL COMMERCIALIZATION PROGRAM FOR LABOPHARM&#8217;S ONCE-DAILY TRAMADOL PRODUCT</p>
<p>Labopharm&#8217;s once-daily tramadol product is being commercialized globally and to date has been launched in 14 countries, including Canada and the five largest individual markets in Europe. In addition, it has received regulatory approval or is under regulatory review in 29 countries and the Company has established marketing partnerships for its product in 38 countries. Labopharm is continuing to pursue regulatory approval and marketing partnerships for its once-daily tramadol product for other markets around the world in support of its global commercialization program.</p>

<p>Income Tax Loss Selling<br />
Selling Losing Securities For A Tax Advantage<br />
Tax-loss harvesting, also commonly known as tax selling, is one of the ways to avoid taxes on some of your portfolio gains. Tax-loss harvesting is the selling of securities, usually at year-end, to realize portfolio losses, which an investor can use to offset capital gains and therefore lower personal tax liability. </p>
<p>Tax Treatment of Gains<br />
If you, like many others, own shares of a mutual fund, you are most likely subjected to some type of year-end payout.  This could be in the form of a dividend, interest payout, short-term capital gain or long-term capital gain.  Now, if the security giving you the payout is in a taxable account, then Uncle Sam will be sure to want a piece of the pie come tax time.  For tax-reporting purposes, the short-term gains and losses (those made in one year or less) are first netted against each other for the tax year; then long-term gains and losses (those made in more than one year) are netted; and finally the remaining outcomes are combined together.  So, a net short-term loss of $10,000 can be applied against a net long-term gain of $5,000 for a remaining short-term loss of $5,000 [-$10,000 + $5000 = -$5000].  In any given year, there is no limit on the amount of capital losses that can offset capital gains.  However, only a maximum of $3,000 net loss can be deducted from ordinary income; any excess loss may be carried forward into future tax years.  The carry-forward loss must maintain its definition as either a short- or long-term loss.  </p>
<p>The Wash Sale<br />
With the wash-sale rule, the IRS disallows a loss deduction from the sale of a security if a ‘substantially identical security&#8217; (defined below) was purchased within 30 days before or after the sale.  The wash-sale period is actually 61 days, consisting of the 30 days before and the 30 days after the date of the sale. For example, if you bought 100 shares of IBM on December 1 and then sold 100 shares of IBM on December 15 at a loss, the loss deduction would not be allowed. Similarly, selling IBM on December 15 and then buying it back on January 10 of the following year does not permit a deduction. The wash-sale rule is designed to prevent investors from making trades for the sole purpose of avoiding taxes. </p>

<p>Are We going to see a January Effect this year?<br />
January effect<br />
&#8220;Tendency of the stock market to rise between December 31 and the end of the first week in January. There are many theories for why this happens, the main one being that it occurs because many investors choose to sell some of their stock right before the end of the year in order to claim a capital loss for tax purposes. Once the tax calendar rolls over to a new year on January 1st these same investors quickly reinvest their money in the market, causing stock prices to rise. The January Effect has been observed numerous times throughout history.&#8221;<br />
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_effect<br />
What Does January Effect Mean?<br />
A general increase in stock prices during the month of January. This rally is generally attributed to an increase in buying, which follows the drop in price that typically happens in December when, investors, seeking to create tax losses to offset capital gains, prompt a sell-off. </p>
<p>Investopedia explains January Effect&#8230;<br />
The January effect is said to affect small caps more than mid or large caps. This historical trend, however, has been less pronounced in recent years because the markets have adjusted for it. Another reason the January effect is now considered less important is that more people are using tax-sheltered retirement plans and therefore have no reason to sell at the end of the year for a tax loss.<br />

<p>Pink Sheet CYRD: Today&#8217;s volume picked up slightly 19465. At current price CYRD is looking very attractive I added 30% more shares last week. I tried to add more shares today and no fill at .05.  Today&#8217;s Close  .074.<br />
Pink Sheet: PHMB:   PHMB has seriously scared investors with the share price under .001.  Does this present a buying opportunity or do we resist the temptation and just watch it until the last coupe days of December while we are in Tax Loss Selling season.  Today&#8217;s Close .0004. (paid advertisement)<br />
Pink Sheet HGLC:  HGLC has had a struggle recently, even with news coming out.  We need to keep in mind pinkies get hit hard as we go further and further into December Tax Loss selling. The end of December is a buyers dream. I did take a small position at .0001. I figure HGLC share price can&#8217;t go much lower and only a reverse split could keep me from making 100% to 500% return next year.  Today&#8217;s Close  .0001.<br />
Pink Sheet CPPD: CPPD has light volume but not many sellers. If it goes much lower I might add a few hundred dollars worth of stock. I am liking CPPD around this .006 range. I am now watching to see if CPPD goes lower then .006 bottom it put in Wednesday. Today&#8217;s Close  .007.<br />

WAMPQ: WAMPQ traded flat today. The same wording above in WAMUQ applies.  Today&#8217;s Close  $2.88.<br />
AIG: AIG has enough questions that traders are being careful about holding for a long period of time.  Tax loss season could be a partial cause for this slow move lower.   Today&#8217;s Close  $1.56.<br />

Company Profile:<br />
www.otcpicks.com/wind-energy-america/wind-energy-america-2.htm </p>
<p>Wind Energy America Inc. develops and operates wind energy projects in the Great Plains and the Midwest, regions known for their high quality wind energy resources. The Company owns interests in three wind farms: Shaokatan Hills LLC, Lakota Ridge LLC and CHI Energy. At present, WNEA owns a developer&#8217;s stake and a minimal interest producing negligible cash flow in these wind farms. Over the next two years the developer’s stake will begin producing significant cash flow from these projects. The three wind farms together contain 79 modern wind turbines and have a total rated capacity of 53.5 megawatts (MW). They are collectively generating approximately 160 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually. In addition to these properties, the Company owns a 3 percent equity interest in Averill Wind LLC, a 10 MW wind farm being developed near Fargo, N.D., another region favorable for wind power energy.</p>
<p>WNEA News:</p>
<p>November 19 &#8211; Wind Energy America Inc. Obtains Financing to Complete Minnesota Wind Farm<br />
Wind Energy America Inc. (OTCBB: WNEA) announced that it has started ordering parts and commencing construction and interconnect operations to complete its wind farm project in Minnesota which contains two of the Gamesa wind turbines acquired in the Boreal Energy asset purchase. When commissioning of these two turbines is completed, WNEA will receive its first material revenues from generating utility-scale electricity from wind power. This Buffalo Ridge wind farm and its revenue production will be 100% owned by WNEA.</p>
<p>Financing for this wind farm project was obtained from a California holding company through a sale/leaseback of our Midwest Energy Center facility in Lincoln County MN. WNEA received net proceeds of approximately $l,400,000 from this sale/leaseback transaction. We also have the option after 2 years to repurchase the facility at a price which represents a small percentage increase<br />
 over the initial sale/leaseback price.</p>
<p>Robert Knutson, managing director of WNEA and the person responsible for obtaining and closing this significant funding, stated: “Given the current difficulties of raising development capital due to the recent collapse of worldwide equity markets, we are pleased that WNEA has been able to obtain critical funding at this time. These proceeds have enabled us to satisfy substantial overdue bank debt secured by the project, pay for interconnect and other costs owed to the utility which will purchase electricity generated by the project, acquire the necessary transformer equipment and other wind turbine parts and materials, and retain an experienced wind power contractor to complete the project for us.”</p>

<p>November 24 &#8211; SupportSave Opens New Office to Support Customer Demand </p>
<p>SupportSave Expands Sales and Marketing Efforts; Office in Boca Raton, Florida<br />
SupportSave Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: SSVE), a provider of Business Processing Outsourcing (&#8220;BPO&#8221;) services from the Philippines and the U.S., announced the opening of its new office in Boca Raton, Florida. The addition of the new office will extend SupportSave&#8217;s market reach and provide additional support and services that are critical to the company&#8217;s expanding customer base and partner channel.<br />
In the past year, SupportSave has experienced increasing demand for its products and services showing a revenue growth rate of nearly 400%. During the past two years, due to the consistent increase in sales and ongoing development of the company&#8217;s partner channel, SupportSave strategically grew staff levels to approximately 200 employees and grow its operations center in the Philippines to meet this demand. While continuing to build its infrastructure, the Boca Raton, Florida office will provide additional sales and services resources.</p>
<p>As the company grows, SupportSave&#8217;s concentration still hinges on providing cost effective services for their customers and partners. Aina Dumlao, chief operating officer at SupportSave, commented, &#8220;SupportSave&#8217;s focus has always been on understanding the client, their environment and the services that they need, whether it is customer service, technical support or back office services.&#8221; Dumlao continued, &#8220;We are committed to ensuring the success of our customers and partners by offering a high quality low cost service model. The Boca Raton office is the next step in advancing that model to meet business demands today, tomorrow and long into the future.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;We are very excited about our year over year growth,&#8221; stated Chris Johns, chief executive officer at SupportSave. &#8220;The continued weakness in the U.S. economy is driving businesses to seek cost effective solutions to keep their businesses relevant and viable while still providing customers the highest levels of support. We have never had such a robust pipeline in our history and this sales office will give us the ability to complete the sales cycle and accelerate our growth,&#8221; added Johns.<br />
&#8220;We chose Boca Raton because of the many talented financial and mortgage professionals displaced by the financial crisis and the ability to attract and retain these sales professionals with our lucrative residual income model. With just modest success, we believe our sales professionals will be earning six figure incomes within a year without cutting into the companies bottom line,&#8221; continued Johns.<br />
Opening a domestic sales office further demonstrates the counter cyclical nature of SupportSave&#8217;s business. While other companies are shedding jobs, the Outsourcer is actually adding to its ranks in the U.S.</p>

Company Profile: </p>

<p>Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. is engaged in the creation and global marketing of 100% eco-friendly, non-toxic, food-contact-compliant, biodegradable plastic products. All Perf Go Green products are made from recycled plastics and completely break down in landfill within two years, leaving no toxic or visible residue, as compared to other plastics that take hundreds of years. Perf Go Green’s corporate name reflects its “Go Green” mission to develop, market and distribute biodegradable plastic products as a practical and viable solution to eliminating plastic waste from the world environment.</p>
<p>PGOG News:</p>
<p>November 24 &#8211; Perf Go Green Enters Canadian Market Through Partnership With Diversified Brands<br />
Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PGOG), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, announced a partnership with Diversified Brands to broker and represent Perf Go Green to retailers throughout Canada.</p>
<p>Founded in 2004, Diversified is a brand development and marketing company with offices in Vancouver, British Columbia and Ajax, Ontario. The firm was recognized in 2007 and 2008 in Profit Magazine&#8217;s “Hot 50,” which ranks the fastest growing companies in Canada each year.</p>
<p>“This is a great new opportunity for Perf Go Green,” said Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. “Diversified&#8217;s management team has a total of 80 years of experience in the Canadian retail market. Their full line of services, combined with their enthusiasm for our mission of protecting the environment, will be a perfect complement to the marketing efforts we already have in place in the U.S.”</p>
<p>Geoff Acheson, CEO of Diversified Brands, added, “We specialize in using our network of relationships with retailers of all sizes to introduce select new brands to the Canadian marketplace and help them grow their presence. Canadians are especially interested in earth-friendly products so we&#8217;re confident that Perf Go Green will be a big hit with both the nation&#8217;s retailers and consumers.”<br />
Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products were honored for their design quality and innovation. Since Perf Go Green&#8217;s products began shipping in June 2008, they have become available online and nationwide in the U.S. at stores with a total of more than 18,000 retail outlets.</p>
<p>Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an oxo-biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for its bags. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the oxo-biodegradable applied to our bags, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade within two years, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, Perf Go Green effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time, similar to a tissue box.</p>

<p>November 19 &#8211; Medivisor, Inc. Reaches Marketing Agreement for NICLite®, a Smoking Alternative Drink<br />
Medivisor, Inc. (OTC: MVSR), developer of next-generation focus driven marketing tools, sales strategies, and distribution platforms, announced that it has entered into an agreement with The Curry Group, agent for Nico Worldwide Inc., for the sale and marketing of NICLite®. NICLite® is an alcohol-free Smoking Alternative Drink that is registered with the FDA as a Homeopathic Nicotinum Complex Formula.<br />
Over 2.5 billion people (close to half the world&#8217;s population) smoke cigarettes. This includes an astounding 48.2 million Americans. Throughout the world, legislation is demanding a ban on smoking. As confirmed in the New England Journal of Medicine, nicotine is a naturally occurring compound. It is found in common foods and vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, chili peppers, and some types of tea. The World Health Organization has estimated that tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, of which nicotine is just one. In addition to tar, there is also carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust fumes), ammonia (found in floor cleaner) and arsenic (found in rat poison). At least 43 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, bladder and kidneys. Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of other cancers.<br />
NICLite® contains a purified organic nicotine molecule in a Complex Homeopathic Formula, which will go into equal suspension in 8 ounces of pharmaceutical grade water. Nico Worldwide Inc. developed NICLite® as a smoking alternative for when people can&#8217;t smoke, shouldn&#8217;t smoke or choose not to smoke, and to reduce the craving for tobacco.<br />
&#8220;With an increasing number of places and countries banning smoking, NICLite® offers people a real alternative, and the ability to live life smoke free,&#8221; stated Dino Luzzi, president of Medivisor, Inc. &#8220;The potential marketplace for this product is almost limitless.&#8221;</p>

OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of new cancer therapies that address unmet needs in the treatment of cancer.

OGX-011, the lead candidate currently completing five Phase 2 clinical studies in prostate, lung and breast cancers, is designed to inhibit the production of specific proteins associated with treatment resistance; OGX-427 and SN2310 are in Phase 1 clinical development; and CSP9222 and OGX-225 are currently in pre-clinical development.<br />
OGXI News:<br />
December 3 &#8211; OGX-011 Shows Overall Survival Advantage in Prostate Cancer Compared to Standard Therapy in a Randomized Phase 2 Study<br />
* First-line trial currently shows median overall survival of 27.5 months for OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone and a 16.9 months overall survival for docetaxel and prednisone alone.<br />
* Achievement of survival benefit milestone results in release of all remaining escrowed shares of OGXI.<br />
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: OGXI) announced positive survival results from a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone (&#8220;the OGX-011 arm&#8221;) compared to docetaxel and prednisone alone (&#8220;the control arm&#8221;) for first-line treatment of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The current 10.6 month median overall survival advantage observed in the OGX-011 arm represents an increase over the median survival observed in the control arm. Docetaxel was approved by the FDA based on a survival advantage of 2.4 months over mitoxantrone.<br />
Based on the median overall survival advantage, the Board of Directors of OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals has approved the release of all of the remaining shares held in escrow pursuant to agreements related to Sonus Pharmaceuticals&#8217; merger with OncoGenex Technologies described in its Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on July 3, 2008. The escrow agreements provided for the release of 50% of the original number of shares held in escrow following the demonstration of at least a two-month improvement in survival in the OGX-011 arm as compared to the control arm. All milestone shares have now been released from escrow; as of December 3, 2008 there are 5,513,643 shares outstanding.<br />
The trial was conducted and data were analyzed by the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Clinical Trials Group and was supported by a grant from the NCI-Canada with funding from the Canadian Cancer Society. Previous results regarding the primary endpoint analysis (PSA response) were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on June 2, 2007.<br />
The study randomized 82 patients with metastatic or locally recurring prostate cancer refractory to hormone therapy. The median survival was 27.5 months for the patients in the OGX-011 arm and 16.9 months for those in the control arm. Results currently indicate that patients in the OGX-011 arm have a death rate approximately 40% lower than patients in the control arm. The current results are based on study data with a median follow-up of approximately 30 months for both arms. Additional survival updates are needed before a mature median survival for the OGX-011 arm can be reported. Based on the current results, OncoGenex has calculated that the final median survival for patients in the OGX-011 arm can not be lower than 22.7 months.<br />
An abstract presenting the mature results is planned to be submitted to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting.</p>

LGVN News:<br />
December 3 &#8211; Virage Logic proposes to acquire LogicVision for $1.05 per share in cash<br />
Virage Logic Corporation (Nasdaq: VIRL) announced that the company sent a proposal late afternoon on December 2nd to the Board of Directors of LogicVision Incorporated (Nasdaq: LGVN) to acquire LogicVision for $1.05 per share in cash. The proposal provides a premium of 114% to LogicVision’s closing price of $0.49 on December 1, 2008, and values LogicVision at approximately $10.0 million.<br />
The text of the letter that was sent to LogicVision’s Board of Directors follows:<br />
December 2, 2008 </p>
<p>Board of Directors<br />
LogicVision, Inc.<br />
25 Metro Drive, Third Floor<br />
San Jose, CA 95110<br />
Dear Sirs:<br />
We are sincerely disappointed in your unwillingness to engage in any substantive discussions regarding our indication of interest transmitted to you on November 10th regarding an all-cash acquisition of LogicVision, Inc. (“LogicVision”) by Virage Logic Corporation (“Virage”). We continue to believe that such a transaction would be to our companies’ mutual benefit, and we are unable to understand your refusal to consider a transaction that would appear to be in your stockholders’ best interests. We note your response that the company is not for sale, which position we believe deserves serious reconsideration. Your refusal to engage in negotiations regarding a possible sale of the company appears to be premised on unrealistic expectations regarding the future prospects of LogicVision. Recent economic events and the resulting downturn in business spending and the semiconductor market cast serious doubts on LogicVision’s long term future as a stand-alone public company.<br />
In response to your apparent unwillingness to engage in negotiations, we are formally making a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of LogicVision for $1.05 per share in cash, which acquisition would be financed by Virage solely using available cash. This represents a premium of 114% to the closing price for LogicVision’s stock as of December 1, 2008. We believe this to be a very fair offer, and if given the opportunity, your stockholders would also agree. We are offering your stockholders an immediate tangible cash return weighed against an uncertain future for LogicVision as a stand-alone public company and all the associated challenges in light of LogicVision’s current cash position and foreseeable business prospects.<br />
Benefits for LogicVision Stockholders<br />
We note that LogicVision’s previously announced aggressive projections for its current fiscal year appear to be wholly unachievable in light of the downturn in the semiconductor industry and also the rapidly deteriorating macroeconomic environment. In addition, the dramatic decline in LogicVision’s stock price during the previous twelve months has meant a 76% decline to your stockholders in the value of their shares during this same period. We believe your stockholders are aware of, and fully appreciate the risks and challenges confronting LogicVision in the current industry and economic environment and will find the cash value we are offering for their shares to be an attractive alternative to the otherwise uncertain future facing LogicVision.<br />

<p>Power3 Medical Products Inc. is a leading Bio Medical company engaged in the commercialization of cancer and neurodegenerative disease biomarkers, pathways, and mechanisms of diseases through the development of diagnostic tests and drug targets. Power3&#8217;s patent-pending technologies are being used to develop screening and diagnostic tests for the early detection and prognosis of disease, identify protein biomarkers, and drug targets. Power3 operates a state-of-the-art CLIA certified laboratory in The Woodlands (Houston), Texas. The Company continues to evolve and enhance its IP portfolio.<br />
PWRM News:<br />
December 2 &#8211; Transgenomic Signs Letter of Intent for an Agreement to Exclusive License With Option to Acquire Power3 Medical Products&#8217; Neurodegenerative Diagnostics<br />
Will offer proteomic tests to identify Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s disease<br />
Transgenomic, Inc. (OTCBB: TBIO) and Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (OTCBB: PWRM) announced that Transgenomic has signed a letter of intent to acquire exclusive rights for Power3 Medical&#8217;s Neurodegenerative Biomarkers, which include NuroPro®, a proposed diagnostic for Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s disease. Transgenomic plans to offer NuroPro® in its CLIA-certified molecular diagnostics laboratory as well as support the tests with development resources.</p>
<p>Power3&#8217;s technology assigns a probability score that reflects how closely a patient&#8217;s sample fits a biostatistical model for a neurological disease (NuroPro®), and indicates if the patient should be recommended for further follow-up by the clinician. These technologies would join Transgenomic&#8217;s robust portfolio of molecular diagnostics including tests for mitochondrial disorders, oncology and hematology, molecular pathology and inherited diseases.<br />
Craig Tuttle, CEO of Transgenomic, said, &#8220;Physicians face a common challenge when treating patients with these devastating diseases &#8212; how to diagnose them earlier and more accurately so their patients can receive treatment sooner and receive greater benefit from treatment. In this respect, the proteomic tests for detection of early disease developed by Power3 are very attractive; particularly when combined with our company&#8217;s demonstrated strength in robust and sensitive genomics tests for detection of increased disease susceptibility. Moreover, as we are already calling on neurologists with our current lab sales organization, these new assays will add significant depth to our neurological sales portfolio.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Power3 Medical Products, Inc., said, &#8220;It is critical to have the ability to diagnose Alzheimer&#8217;s disease more accurately, earlier, and faster than currently available. If physicians can intervene earlier, before the patients suffer debilitation and irreversible damage, the drugs currently used to slow disease progression can be more effective. In addition, the ability to detect Alzheimer&#8217;s disease processes early and monitor disease progression in the patients&#8217; blood will ultimately lead to more effective and personalized treatments.&#8221;<br />
Helen R. Park, Power3&#8217;s CEO, said, &#8220;This potential agreement will propel the NuroPro® diagnostic test to the next level affording the ability to commercialize a physician sought after test for Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s Diseases. It is a win/win for both companies.&#8221;</p>
<p>A final agreement is subject to due diligence investigation and negotiation of a definitive exclusive license and/or acquisition agreement and approval by the Boards of Directors of both companies.</p>
<p>ABOUT NUROPRO®<br />
NuroPro® is a test designed to diagnose Alzheimer&#8217;s, Parkinson&#8217;s, and Lou Gehrig&#8217;s disease (ALS) in individuals. The test is based on proteomic technology, in which a blood serum sample is drawn from a patient, and the concentration of selected biomarkers residing in a panel of 59 blood serum protein biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease is monitored and the test determines if a patient has a Neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer&#8217;s, Parkinson&#8217;s or Lou Gehrig&#8217;s Disease (ALS).</p>

<p>RAM Holdings Ltd. is a Bermuda-based holding company. Its operating subsidiary RAM Reinsurance Company Ltd. provides financial guaranty reinsurance for U.S. and international public finance and structured finance transactions. More information can be found at www.ramre.com. </p>
<p>RAMR News:</p>
<p>December 1 &#8211; RAM Holdings Announces Commutation of $10.6 Billion Par MBIA Portfolio Including $6.8 Billion Par of Structured Finance Transactions </p>
<p>RAM Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: RAMR) announced that its operating subsidiary, RAM Reinsurance Company Ltd. (&#8220;RAM Re&#8221;) has entered into a Commutation Agreement, effective November 30, 2008, to commute its entire $10.6 billion portfolio of business assumed from MBIA Insurance Corporation and affiliates effective upon receipt by MBIA of a commutation payment of $156.5 million, which includes return of $51.5 million of unearned premium reserves (calculated on a U.S. statutory basis) and $61.3 million of estimated loss reserves and impairments (a non-GAAP measure) as of September 30, 2008.<br />
The commuted portfolio of $10.6 billion par outstanding (as of September 30, 2008) consists of:<br />
* $6.8 billion par of structured finance transactions including<br />
* $439.3 million of collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities (ABS CDOs) (all structured as credit derivatives)<br />
* $2.4 billion of collateralized debt obligations of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS CDOs)<br />
* $453.0 million of 2005 &#8211; 2008 vintage U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS)<br />
* $3.8 billion of public finance transactions including<br />
* $1.2 billion of international public finance transactions<br />
As of RAM&#8217;s September 30, 2008 financial information, the commuted portfolio represented approximately:<br />
* 98% of RAM&#8217;s total unrealized losses on ABS CDO credit derivatives contracts<br />
* 100% of total par outstanding of ABS CDOs for which RAM has established credit impairments<br />
* 37% of total loss reserves for RMBS transactions<br />
* 45% of total par outstanding of RMBS for which RAM has established case reserves<br />
* 99% of total par outstanding of CMBS CDO transactions<br />
As at September 30, 2008, estimated Bermuda statutory capital and surplus of RAM Re was $193.6 million, and the estimated minimum required statutory capital and surplus was $24.9 million. RAM Re’s estimated Bermuda statutory capital and surplus as of September 30, 2008 would have been $147.9 million if the MBIA commutation had been effected at September 30, 2008, exceeding the estimated minimum requirement which would have been $14.2 million. The fair market value of the portion of RAM Re’s portfolio not held in trust for the benefit of its ceding companies would have been $117.1 million if the MBIA commutation had been effected at September 30, 2008. In addition, RAM Re still has access to $50 million from its Blue Water Trust committed preferred securities facility, should RAM require additional liquidity. As such, RAM continues to believe that it will be able to meet expected claims payments and operating expenses for the foreseeable future, barring further unexpected deterioration in the insured portfolio.</p>
<p>Commenting on the commutation, Vernon M. Endo, RAM&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;This commutation represents another milestone in RAM&#8217;s efforts to restructure its insured portfolio. As a result of the MBIA commutation, we have reshaped our insurance portfolio by reducing our overall exposure to ABS CDOs and 2005 – 2008 vintage US RMBS by more than 64% and 27%, respectively. After the commutation, U.S. public finance exposure will increase from 51.3% to 60.1% of our portfolio.&#8221;</p>
<p>RAM will update its insured portfolio disclosure on its website at www.ramre.bm under Investor Information/Exposure Info and Updates to show the effect of the MBIA commutation on RAM’s insured portfolio as of September 30, 2008. In addition, RAM will provide additional information on the effect of the commutation on its insurance portfolio and financial results when it releases its earnings for the fourth quarter.</p>

<p>ASTI News:</p>
<p>December 2 &#8211; Ascent Solar Achieves Significant Efficiency Milestone </p>
<p>Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASTI), a developer of state of the art flexible thin-film solar modules, today announced that it has achieved greater than 9.5% efficiency for its flexible Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selenide (CIGS) monolithically integrated modules.</p>
<p>The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has independently verified that the modules measured as high as 9.64% in conversion efficiency. The modules tested at NREL were produced from the company’s 1.5MW pilot production line.</p>
<p>“We have been working to achieve these efficiencies during our internal optimization process, and we view this achievement as a tremendous breakthrough. The test modules measure six inches wide by one foot long and serves as our building block for portable power and building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products,” said Dr. Prem Nath, Sr. Vice President of Manufacturing for Ascent Solar. “Our goal continues to be the commercialization of flexible thin-film CIGS modules using a plastic substrate, which we hope will uniquely position Ascent Solar to provide light weight flexible photovoltaic material at low cost.”<br />
Lawrence Kazmerksi, Executive Director at NREL, said, “This is significant. Many doubted that a thin-film CIGS solar cell-on-plastic technology could be possible. Ascent Solar not only achieved this, but they now have confirmed efficiencies at NREL on fully integrated, monolithic prototype modules near 10%. This appears to be a substantial leap toward realizing high-performance, inexpensive thin-film solar photovoltaics.”</p>
