SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (SSNTA) Has Key Advantages

For many companies in the competitive business software industry, the ongoing recession continues to be a survival challenge. For SilverSun Technologies, a New Jersey based provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business software for small to medium manufacturers and distributors, it has been a time of steady and healthy sales, punctuated by the most recent figures showing sales up 40% in 2011 to over $10.5 million. Add to that an anticipated operating income of over $800,000, together with zero long-term debt, and it becomes clear why the company stands out.

SilverSun, through its principal operating subsidiary, SWK Technologies, is one of the top U.S. resellers for Sage, a major global publisher of business management software and ERP applications. SilverSun provides financial accounting and supply-chain solutions for a wide range of manufacturers and distributors. The company also publishes, sells, and supports its own MAPADOCTM proprietary EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) software, which offers dramatically reduced expenditures for users of Sage 100, Sage 500, and Sage ERP X3 software. In addition, SilverSun publishes eight different cloud-based solutions, such as BeerRun for the management of craft-brewery production operations.

It’s the range of value-added services, and aggressive management, that gives SilverSun a competitive advantage, and has led to the company’s impressive profile and positioning.

• Sales up 50% in 2011 to an annualized revenue of over $10 million
• Liabilities reduced in 2011 by more than $3 million
• Expanding EDI market driven by demands from big box retailers like Wal-Mart and Home Depot (trading partners utilize EDI for business transactions with these large companies)
• Early acquisitions which consolidated competitive mix of IT business management products/services
• Aggressive focus on raising revenue and cutting expenses to successfully grow gross profit

SilverSun has acquired and integrated several companies with competitive advantages and reach to create a market-leading position.

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (BEAC) Awarded $2 Million in New ITS Projects with Existing Fortune 100 Clients

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management of high performance Information Technology Systems (“ITS”) infrastructure solutions, announced today that it has been awarded approximately $2 million in new ITS business from existing Fortune 100 clients. To accommodate these new projects, Beacon is expanding its scope of product offering to add Industrial Network Services to its suite of Enterprise services.

Beacon is also extending its fourth utility information technology systems services into the manufacturing operations of existing and future clients by formalizing ITS services to address the needs of the industrial network. Over the past ten years industrial command and control systems have seen a significant increase in the use of data networks and related Internet technologies to transfer information from the plant floor to supervisory and business computer systems. This move permits Beacon to extend its infrastructure expertise in field engineering, design, construction and management from the enterprise network onto the factory floor of both existing and future clients with global manufacturing sites.

Beacon has identified and begun initial work that will extend to more than 18 global manufacturing sites. Expanding enterprise services to include industrial networks is forecasted to add $2 million of incremental revenue for fiscal 2012. This work leverages Beacon’s existing four core business units and will utilize the same site assessment, design/build and manage approach that has been successful in the enterprise space with enterprise IT networks.

“We are excited to formally enter the industrial network arena,” stated Jerry Bowman, Beacon’s President and COO. “We’ve been watching the advances in technology in this space and see positive indicators that our clients are ready to leverage the benefits that our IT clients have enjoyed in their enterprise networks for years. Some of these analog networks were built more than 20 years ago, so the need for our services in this space is significant. By offering this service we are extending our global reach to the manufacturing floor and providing the consistent, predictable services to our clients who utilize industrial automation. In line with our business strategy, this strategy significantly reduces the number of vendors our clients need to maintain their existing and planned ITS infrastructure.”

“This move is a continuation of our commitment to remain focused on our core business, and at the same time continue to expand our suite of services,” added Bruce Widener, Beacon’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our clients have recognized that we have the expertise to help them migrate legacy factory floor systems to utilize enterprise-class IP infrastructure and networks. We like the idea of being able to address real client needs without increasing cost or risk to our company. This is another win-win offering.”

This is a significant increase in comparison with same-quarter revenue from the previous year, which was $10.1 million. SoundBite’s GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 has been calculated to be at least $200,000, contrasted with $50,000 in 2010.

The following estimated amounts were excluded from the company’s calculations of preliminary non-GAAP operating income: stock-based compensation of $300,000 and amortization of intangibles of $300,000 associated with the company’s acquisition of SmartReply.

For the full 2011 year, SoundBite anticipates revenues of at least $41.5 million, which is a growth of 5 percent over the company’s 2010 revenues.

These fourth quarter results are based on preliminary analyses of SoundBite’s revenue and GAAP operating income; the company will release official fourth-quarter and full-year financial results on Wednesday, Feb. 22 after market close, and then discuss them at 5 p.m. EST during the scheduled conference call.

SoundBite Communications assists organizations in building lasting, gainful consumer relations through forward-looking communications. The company serves two global markets: the hosted contact center and mobile marketing. SoundBite’s solutions employ two platforms: SoundBite Engage, which is an interactive multi-channel communications platform providing customers with integrated SMS, dialer, voice messaging, Web communications and e-mail; and SoundBite Insight, which is a preference management platform that facilitates personalized, intelligent communication. Each year, SoundBite powers nearly 2 billion customers.

L&L Energy (LLEN) to Acquire Majority Stake in Weishe Coal Mine

Through its subsidiaries, L&L Energy operates coal mines, coking, and coal washing facilities in the Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces of China. Using expertise gained in the U.S., the company is using improved mining standards in China to gain a competitive advantage.

L&L today announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% controlling interest in the Weishe coal mine located in the Guizhou Province of China from the Chinese miner Union Energy. This mine produces high quality, low sulfur anthracite coal. The company will acquire the interest for a purchase price of approximately $16.2 million to be paid in the form of three million LLEN shares at $5.395 a share.

The Weishe mine has reserves of 19 million tons of coal. It is expected to be expanded to 450,000 tons of annual production of coal over the next five years. The Weishe mine is anticipated to produce about 124,000 tons of coal in the current fiscal year, sold at an average price of $158 a ton.

This acquisition is the first such purchase made to upgrade the company’s mining portfolio for better safety and mechanization. There is a strong possibility that L&L may add to its portfolio through other joint ventures with Union Energy, which has two other newly constructed coal mines in the same area that will begin operations later this year.

The Case for FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI)

When FluoroPharma CEO, Thijs Spoor, recently gave a presentation summarizing the rising importance in medical diagnostics of PET technology, and the associated radiopharmaceuticals such as those developed by FluoroPharma, it brought into focus a major gap between the promise of PET and the current availability of chemical agents needed to make the promise a reality.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a branch of nuclear medicine imaging that uses mildly radioactive tracer chemicals to highlight extremely subtle biological processes actively taking place at the cellular and even molecular level within the human body. As such, it represents functional scanning versus simply structural scanning. It doesn’t just show how the body looks, but what the body is doing at the most detailed level. The result is the highest contrast resolution available for internal imaging.

However, none of it works without the availability of suitable tracer chemicals which can insinuate themselves into otherwise imperceptible biological processes, making them visible to the advanced PET hardware and software. For a given targeted process, the market requires an appropriate and safe tracer chemical. Nuclear cardiologists, for example, are very anxious for new tracer agents that can be used to better identify and track processes related to heart disease. In particular, cardiology clinicians are looking for a vulnerable plaque imaging agent, a better profusion agent, and a viability agent, all of which are now part of the FluoroPharm portfolio:

• BFET – For myocardial perfusion imaging (measuring cardiovascular blood flow)
• CardioPET – For cardiac viability assessment (detecting regions of metabolic insufficiency)
• VasoPET – For inflamed atherosclerotic plaque imaging (detecting inflamed plaque)

These targeting agents can make a big difference in the treatment of heart disease, still the number one killer in the country. In the case of FluoroPharma’s VasoPET product, used for detecting inflamed plaque, which is the most unstable and dangerous type of plaque, early detection is critical, since the first symptom of such a problem is often sudden death.

Because there are still a very limited number of such tracer agents, the thousands of expensive PET scanners currently in hospitals around the country and the world are significantly under-utilized, creating a cost effectiveness issue that only more and better agents can address. In addition, the production of such agents by cyclotron operators requires a high level of fixed costs which, when spread over a handful of agents, increases the per unit cost of agents. So there is also a strong economic need for new agents to be developed.

For more information, see the company website at www.FluoroPharma.com

Ranger Gold Corp. (RNGC) Closes $300k Private Placement; Readies to Start Drilling at Truman Site in Mineral County, Nevada

Today, Ranger Gold, the Nevada-focused gold developer employing a strategy that emphasizes low-cost assets in proven regions, reported closing a non-brokered $300k private placement structured as 2M shares of common stock (issued price of $0.15/share).

President of RNGC, Gary Basrai, explained that this financing would be employed initiating the Company’s drilling program at the 1,080-acre (91 unpatented lode claims) Truman Project in Nevada’s prolific Mineral County. Basrai pointed to the Board-approved budget for drilling operations and indicated that sufficient budgeting for the drilling of eight holes at key points within the fifteen permitted sites at Truman was in place.

The Company intends to wait until late April or June, when more favorable conditions exist, in order to commence drilling as this will maximize operational efficiency at Truman.

Truman makes a nice counterpart in the Company’s acreage position to RNGC’s other main site, the 1,480-acre CX Project over in Nye County, NV that is characterized by the large caldera margin in which the sites resides, proximal to other multi-million ounce discoveries (just 12 miles east of the 9M ounce Round Mountain Mine). The Truman Project is right near the middle of the legendary Walker Lane Belt that hosted such deposits as the Goldfield (5.9M oz) and Comstock (8.4M oz Au, 193.5M oz Ag).

Truman’s ultimate target is a bulk mineable Borealis type (hallmark mineralization of the Walker – basically, micron-sized gold permeating a pyritic, silicified pyroclastic mass – the region is characterized by multiple coalescing hydrothermal centers) of gold/silver deposit which has been defined in previous exploration. The eight epithermal targets indentified consist of high-grade gold and silver in veins and lower-grade gold concentrations that are bulk minable.

Analysis of extant data on geology and alteration, including data on some 67 drill holes, 300 soil samples and over 700 rock chip samples, combine to offer a tantalizing portrait of the untapped potential at Truman. A huge opportunity exists at Truman and RNGC is dedicated to running with the financing after the key targets, including the:

Panorama Area – reports detailing 30opt plus artisanal hand development in the 1900’s and silver-rich breccia samples contained 7-20 foot widths grading from 1.1-9.5 opt Ag

Breccia Ridge – jasperoid breccia just North of Panorama running along an easterly fault zone, some 50-feet wide and area sampling returned an average of 0.015 opt Au

Range Front – East of Panorama, extant drilling from the 80’s indicates values of 0.06-0.02 opt Au at 20-60 foot grading and 60-foot grading of 0.018 in a separate drilling analysis also in the 80’s

Jasperoid Ridge – NE of Range Front are two major adits, underground sampling/mapping indicate Au values in the 0.015 -0.05 opt range over widths from 10-60 feet

Hound Dog – multiple structural zones marked by silicification/argillization, grab sampling from extant workings indicate 0.07-0.56 opt Au with significant silver quantity and underground/surface chip sampling offered values of 0.017-0.022 opt over 10-20 foot grading

The Staggering Reality of Today’s U.S. Debt

To the everyday person, a trillion is just a number, but what does it look like?

One Hundred Dollars

$100 – Most counterfeited money denomination in the world. Keeps the world moving.

Ten Thousand Dollars

$10,000 – Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car. Approximately one year of work for the average human on earth.

One Million Dollars
$1,000,000 – Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh? Still this is 92 years of work for the average human on earth.

One Hundred Million Dollars

$100,000,000 – Plenty to go around for everyone. Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized pallet.

One Billion Dollars

$1,000,000,000 – You will need some help when robbing the bank. Now we are getting serious!

One Trillion Dollars

$1,000,000,000,000 – when the U.S government speaks about a 1.7 trillion deficit – this is the volumes of cash the U.S. Government borrowed in 2010 to run itself.

Keep in mind it is double stacked pallets of $100 million dollars each, full of $100 dollar bills. You are going to need a lot of trucks to freight this around.

One Trillion Dollars – another perspective

Comparison of $1,000,000,000,000 dollars to a standard-sized American Football field and European Football field.

Say hello to the Boeing 747-400 transcontinental airliner that’s hiding on the right. This was until recently the biggest passenger plane in the world.

15 Trillion Dollars

$15,000,000,000,000 – The US national debt (credit bill) is currently approximately $15.3 trillion.

Statue of Liberty seems rather worried as United States national debt passes 20% of the entire world’s combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

114.5 Trillion Dollars

$114,500,000,000,000. – US unfunded liabilities

To the right you can see the pillar of $100 bills that dwarfs the WTC & Empire State Building – both at one point world’s tallest buildings. If you look carefully you can see the Statue of Liberty.

The 114.5 Trillion dollar super-skyscraper is the amount of money the U.S. Government knows it does not have to fully fund the Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Programme, Social Security, Military and civil servant pensions.

The unfunded liability is calculated on current tax and funding inputs, and future demographic shifts in US Population.

ThermoEnergy Corp. (TMEN) Anticipates Strong Demand for Clean Combustion Technology as Result of Tough New EPA Rules for Coal- Fired Power Plant Emissions

ThermoEnergy Corp., a technology company engaged in the development and sale of wastewater recovery and power generation technologies in global markets, announced new opportunities for its patented clean combustion technology due to new tough rules finalized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for coal-fired power plant emissions. Once it is commercialized, ThermoEnergy’s technology will allow power plants to burn coal with near-zero emissions.

ThermoEnergy has worked for two decades to develop sustainable water treatment and clean energy technologies designed to help its clients operate more efficiently, save money and reduce their carbon footprint. Its clean combustion technology, ZEBS, allows power producers and manufacturers currently relying on conventional fossil fuel to switch to a cheaper energy source while emitting almost no emissions. The company is working on the commercialization of the ZEBS clean combustion technology in a joint venture with Babcock Power Inc.

“The Company’s patented technology for the electric utility industry holds the promise of eliminating harmful air emissions, while capturing nearly 100% of the carbon dioxide. ThermoEnergy sees a tremendous opportunity ahead, thanks to our proprietary technology and the timing of the stringent new EPA rules,” said Cary Bullock, ThermoEnergy’s President and CEO, in a press statement. “Early targets for ThermoEnergy’s technology would be existing power plants where a boiler replacement could be done at a fraction of the cost of building a new plant using conventional technology.”

The new ZEBS process produces electricity and liquid CO2 from coal and potentially other energy resources without emitting toxic pollutants into the air. The key difference between this approach and present methods is the use of pressurization. Benefits of operating an entire plant at high pressurization include the ability to use higher-heating values in coal or other carbon fuels and the capturing of the CO2 in the flue gas in liquid form with nothing escaping in the air. This process can be used in new power plant construction or as a way to repower existing fossil fuel power plants.

By 2016, the electric utility industry is expected to invest more than $10 billion to install scrubber systems to reduce the emissions of NOx, SOx, mercury, and particulates, in addition to carbon dioxide, according to ThermoEnergy’s president.

Canadian Solar, Inc. (CSIQ) Announces Agreement with Al Fahad Group for Significant Solar PV Project in Abu...

Canadian Solar, Inc. (CSIQ) Announces Agreement with Al Fahad Group for Significant Solar PV Project in Abu Dhabi

Canadian Solar, Inc. recently announced that it has forged an agreement with the Al Fahad Group. Canadian Solar, one of the largest solar companies in the world, will begin supplying more than 1.5 MW of its solar modules to the Al Fahad Group under the new agreement. The Al Fahad Group is a diversified conglomerate with proficiency in homeland security, defense & intelligence, networking & communications, and power. Al Fahad delivers tailored, end-to-end solutions to clients across a broad spectrum of industries and government agencies.

Canadian Solar’s CS5A-M solar modules will be used in one of the largest solar PV projects in Abu Dhabi, which is being spearheaded by the Al Fahad Group. This governmental venture was agreed upon during the recent World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi. Canadian Solar’s CS5A-M modules are ideally settled for the challenging local climate conditions in Abu Dhabi, and it was this factor, coupled with Canadian Solar’s track record of reliability, high quality and proven performance, that led the Al Fahad Group to select Canadian Solar for the project.

Together with the Al Fahad Group, Canadian Solar will further build its presence in the Middle East market for sustainable energy solutions, tapping into the great potential in the Middle East – particularly in the United Arab Emirates – for the developing solar market. The government’s commitment and financial system, coupled with forward thinking key proponents like the Al Fahad Group, make the Middle East a prime location for developing renewable energies like solar.

Canadian Solar is a leading vertically integrated supplier of ingot, wafer, solar cell, solar module and other solar applications, and the company specializes in designing, manufacturing and delivering solar products and solar system solutions to both on-grid and off-grid customers across the globe. Canadian Solar provides environmentally friendly and cost-effective premium solar solutions to foster worldwide, sustainable development.

Digirad Corp. (DRAD) Garners CE Mark Approval for its Cardius® X-ACT Imaging System

Digirad, a leading supplier of diagnostic imaging products and personnel and equipment leasing services, announced that it has been granted Conformitee Europeene (CE) Mark approval for the Cardius® X-ACT imaging system. This advanced, solid-state camera system makes earlier disease detection possible through increased diagnostic accuracy. Obtaining CE Mark approval will enable Digirad to manufacture and market the Cardius X-ACT system in the European Union.

Digirad additionally announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Epsilon Elektronik, a Turkish company that is part of the Istanbul-based Bozlu Group. This agreement is part of Digirad’s strategy to build out a targeted international selling network. Digirad signed a similar agreement last year with Southern Scientific, a UK-based company that is already implementing the use of an ergo™ portable solid-state camera at the Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Part of Digirad’s international growth strategy is to build a network of top distributors in targeted markets, where the demand for flexible imaging products like the X-ACT is steadily growing. The company projects that the flexibility, lower overall costs and potential for improved clinical outcomes will make its expanding line of camera products attractive in the international market. Securing other distribution agreements will be key in Digirad’s endeavor to more meaningfully tap into burgeoning markets for dedicated cardiac and portable nuclear imaging.

The Cardius X-ACT imaging system considerably reduces artifacts in images caused by overlying tissues. This is accomplished through X-ACT’s low-dose volume-computed tomography attenuation correction system. Digirad anticipates that its X-ACT imaging system, ergo™ flexible imaging camera and future camera models will be well received in the international market, providing new clinical information that will increase the benefit of nuclear cardiology procedures, raise industry standards for SPECT system performance and improve outcomes at an accessible price point.

Digirad previously received FDA clearance to market the Cardius X-ACT imaging system in the United States and also obtained CE Mark and FDA clearance to market the ergo portable solid-state camera.

Yesterday, Elevate, Inc. announced their summary of financial results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended November 30, 2011. The company posted impressive growth during the last quarter and detailed strategies that helped to achieve said growth.

Based in San Clemente, CA, Elevate is focused on providing a one-stop experience for communications services, such as voice, data, video, mobile and security; as well as services such as smart home and broadband technology. The company also boasts a customer service team, called Certifiable Genius, that operates in a customer’s local area rather than being outsourced to other countries.

Elevate reported that the company experienced a 100% revenue growth from Q1 and a 198% growth over the previous year’s Q2, while unit sales were up approximately 800% over the previous quarter. Elevate was able to decrease operating costs by 16% during this same period. The company reported seeing a growth in both customer referrals and job applicants that was so severe, call centers in Utah and California were opened to process the backlog.

Wright Thurston, Elevate CEO, stated, “September through November is traditionally very slow in the direct sales space, particularly among those who compete with our smart home suite of products. However, we’ve had a great quarter, and I think it’s because we have been smart about how we expended our resources. We leveraged the viral growth of our referral model and our recently launched telesales division to achieve sales growth without massive staffing, and we negotiated more favorable terms with suppliers and other key partners to drive greater revenue per sale.”

Rod Place, Elevate COO, said, “Many of our competitors were wrapping up sales operations for the season, scaling down their workforce, and going into hibernation until recruiting would begin the following spring. We saw an opportunity to push our business forward when everybody else was taking a break.”

Hondo Minerals (HMNC) Acknowledges Increasing Interest in Proprietary Processing Technology, Notes Subsequent Game Plan

Hondo Minerals Corp., a company engaged in the acquisition of mines, mining claims and mining real estate in the United States, Canada and Mexico, today announced that in response to numerous inquiries regarding use of its proprietary processing technology, it will begin exploring avenues to globally extend its market reach.

Hondo’s processing techniques include the company’s patent-pending E-Leach process, which leaches minerals using electrolyzed water rather than hazardous chemicals. By replacing harsh chemicals like cyanide and certain acids with safer low pH water, the company’s process allows for the leaching of metals such as gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and rare earths.

The process not only extracts minerals more effectively and efficiently at a lower production cost, it also reduces the environmental impact of mining.

“This process technology is a real game-changer for us and potentially for the mining industry. The future of Hondo is more than just the metals we will extract from the Tennessee Mine resources. By utilizing our process that uses no chemicals harsher than you might find in a salt water swimming pool, we have an opportunity to change the way mining relates to the environment. We intend to seek business opportunities that will create revenue and ultimately increase our shareholder value,” William Miertschin, CEO of Hondo Minerals stated in the press release.

Big Bear Mining Corp. (BGBR) Acquires Idaho Gold Property

Big Bear Mining Corp. is a North American exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of precious metals projects, particularly gold. The company currently has several gold properties in Wyoming and Ontario.

The company announced today the acquisition of a new property, consisting of 48 federal mining claims, in the Elk City gold project in Idaho County, Idaho. The property was acquired from Southern Legacy Minerals Inc. for 6 million shares of common stock and 6 million common stock purchase warrants. Additionally, 3 million shares of common stock were paid to a previous claim owner in exchange for significant amounts of historical data on the property.

The 48 Elk City claims are located along a 1.5 mile long shear zone that averages 60 feet wide and that hosts en echelon quartz veins. The property includes a historical underground mine called the Center Star Mine as well as the Commodore Project. The CEO of Big Bear, James Baughman, said, “This acquisition has staked our land position in a promising gold district in Idaho.”

Big Bear Mining also announced it has entered into the first phase of funding through new share financing agreements totaling $60,000. The money will be used to fund the drilling on its Lewiston and Rattlesnake Hills projects in Wyoming as well as to begin to advance the previous work already done on its newly-acquired historic Idaho property.

Emulex Corp. (ELX) is “One to Watch”

In the world of Information Technology, connectivity is the market behind the market, and it’s growing every day. Connectivity is what has made IT an indispensable foundational element of virtually every major business, by allowing a host of different IT machines and networks of machines to think and act together. And at the very heart of IT connectivity are the devices that make it all possible, the adapters, controllers, switches, and bridges, along with the associated support software. Since IT connectivity tends to be a behind-the-scenes industry, it doesn’t get the exposure more common with high-visibility ends of the business, but therein hides the opportunity.

Emulex, based in Cosa Mesa, California, is a leader in converged networking solutions for data centers, essentially products for connecting servers, networks, and storage devices. The company’s solutions are used and offered by some of the biggest names in the server and storage OEM industry, including Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, NEC, and Oracle, and have been time-tested in the world’s most demanding IT environments.

Emulex products include connectivity software, Fibre Channel host bus adapters, Fibre Channel over Ethernet converged network adapters, embedded storage switches, storage I/O controller and SAN storage switch products. To someone outside the IT world, it’s all pretty esoteric, but Emulex products play a critical role in keeping some very big names up and running, and the company partners with the best. For example, Emulex and Cisco have worked collaboratively on technology that transforms data center networks into an agile infrastructure.

It’s one of the reasons for the big rise in share price over the past month, as the company announced faster than expected recovery of its production operations in Thailand, following some of the worst flooding in decades. The educated marketplace knows that the demand is there.

Why FrogAds, Inc. (FROG) is Different

There are a ton of general marketplace sites on the web, with the most unique being FrogAds.com, where anyone can post free classified ads in over 400 categories. The speed of FrogAds’ growth indicates that consumers and paid advertisers are finding something there that they can’t find anywhere else. So what exactly is the difference between FrogAds and other sites, such as CraigsList?

• FrogAds lets consumers post ads for free, regardless of category, allowing them to manually or automatically renew the ad at the end of 30 days. It even offers a “Renew All” button. (Craigslist charges for postings in their Jobs category, and Craigslist only runs their free ads for 7 days.)

• FrogAds is more visually oriented than Craigslist, offering, for example, video embedding. And, unlike others where you have to click to see pictures, FrogAds displays pictures immediately. FrogAds also offers the ability to upload more pictures, all of which can be made larger and clearer compared to the competition.

• FrogAds has set it up so that entered free postings are automatically search engine optimized, so that they are effectively acting as inventory on Google and other search engines. As a result, FrogAds gets top search engine exposure, with the Alexa ranking growing rapidly.

• FrogAds lets you place your free ad for multiple cities and countries.

• FrogAds free ads have built-in stats.

• FrogAds consumer navigation is simpler than other sites, and provides a “sort-by” feature for ad search results.

• FrogAds offers different sales classifications, including an auction/bid option.

• FrogAds goes beyond the basic Craigslist ad flagging, and lets users comment and rate the ad, better countering any scam ads or phony ads.

• FrogAds has an easy share feature, so that information can be forwarded through social media sites.

• FrogAds offers a multi-language translator.

• FrogAds offers a free banner ad linking exchange, which lets vendors place ads with pinpoint accuracy on the FrogAds site in exchange for letting FrogAds place a pre-selected banner on the vendor site.

• FrogAds paid banner ads can currently be placed in a single country or the entire world for only $10 per day.

The number of differences between FrogAds and traditional sites like Craigslist is the result of extensive research and evaluation of existing sites, including Craigslist, Google, eBay, Yahoo, and Facebook, identifying the strong and weak points, to create the optimum user experience. FrogAds is still new, but is already taking off due to word-of-mouth regarding the above unique features. The company is just now working to put together an initial advertising campaign.

Zogenix (ZGNX) Signs Joint Marketing and Technology Development Agreement with Battelle to Advance Development of DosePro® Drug Delivery Technology

Zogenix, Inc., a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, today announced that they have signed a non-binding letter of intent for an exclusive co-marketing and technology development option agreement with Battelle to advance the development and commercialization of Zogenix’s DosePro® drug. Battelle, one of the world’s largest independent research and development organizations, will work with Zogenix to offer DosePro needle-free drug delivery technology to pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms for new commercial out-licensing opportunities.

Zogenix’s DosePro patented technology, which has United States and Europe regulatory approvals, enables needle-free medication delivery under the skin by using a small amount of compressed gas to deliver a liquid version of medication through the skin. It is the only commercially available, single-use, disposable, needle-free, subcutaneous delivery technology in the world.

“We recognize that DosePro can provide sustainable competitive advantages for many injectable drugs, especially biologics. With Battelle’s expertise in product development and strong relationships with biopharmaceutical companies, we can now match DosePro technology to drug candidates in a more efficient manner by providing customizable drug delivery solutions that can effectively deliver biologics, vaccines and other critical drugs. We believe this arrangement will accelerate entry into licensing agreements with major pharmaceutical companies,” said John Turanin, Vice President and General Manager, DosePro Technology, Zogenix in a press release.

The intent of this partnership is to help meet the needs of biopharmaceutical companies that want to offer more customizable platform technologies that create different products for increased efficacy, patient compliance and market share. Zogenix has completed prototype design for the product but hopes that further development in collaboration with Battelle will help to broaden the capability of the technology to deliver larger dose volumes, which are required for high-dose biological products.

“We believe DosePro features market-leading technology for the safe and effective delivery of biologics, especially high viscosity formulations, which is critically important to our customers. This collaboration will enhance our ability to extend our leadership in drug delivery technology development to create innovative solutions for the pharmaceutical industry,” said Barbara Kunz, President, Battelle Health and Life Sciences Global Business in the press statement.

CAMAC Energy (CAK) Awarded Contract to Operate Offshore Exploration Blocks in Highly Sought-after African Province

CAMAC Energy Inc., an energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas, announced its agreement with the Gambian Ministry of Petroleum (on behalf of the Government of the Republic of The Gambia) in which the company was awarded the contract to be the operator of two offshore exploration blocks in water depths between 600-1,000 meters.

Per the agreement, CAMAC Energy will operate blocks A2 and A5, for which it holds an 85 percent interest in the blocks, which cover 2,666 square kilometers.

The agreement is a significant achievement for the company, reflecting the opportunity to operate in a highly favored province in West Africa and emphasizing the company’s position in the market.

“We are extremely pleased to be awarded these two blocks. Gambia’s blocks A2 and A5 represent highly sought after assets in one of the world’s most exciting hydrocarbon provinces, the West African Transform Margin. Today’s announcement demonstrates additional progress in our frontier exploration strategy. It also reaffirms the company’s reputation as a value added oil and gas partner to National Oil Companies in Africa,” CAMAC Energy chairman and CEO Dr. Kase Lawal stated in the press release.

The two exploration blocks are located in the highly prospective West African Transform Margin, which is home to several recent major discoveries in Ghana and Sierra Leone. The presence of hydrocarbons has been established in the area, and recent extensive 3D seismic shots have revealed several material prospects and leads.

According to African Petroleum Corporation Limited’s (NSX:AOQ) third-party estimates, the Alhamdulilah prospect has potential mean unrisked resources of approximately 500 million barrels.

The agreement is subject to submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and signing of final petroleum exploration licenses within 90 days. CAMAC has submitted the EIA report, and signing of the license documents is expected in the next few weeks.
