May 8 - RedChip Visibility Issues Fourth Quarter 2007 Research Update On Carbon Sciences, Inc.

RedChip Visibility, a division of RedChip Companies, Inc. announced it has issued a fourth quarter 2007 research update on Carbon Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: CABN), a company engaged in developing its GreenCarbon(tm) Technology which converts harmful carbon dioxide into useful carbon products.

Neha Bhargava, MBA, RedChip Research Analyst, reported:

“CABN continues to focus on developing and commercializing its GreenCarbon(tm) Technology. We consider the completion of CABN's Mobile Prototype as an initial positive mark toward the development of this technology.

“CABN expects to develop its products and to focus its efforts on establishing markets in power plants and industrial factories by 2010. We believe CABN's carbon transformation is a better option compared with traditional carbon sequestration technologies,” Bhargava continued.

“As the world moves toward trimming the impact of global warming, the U.S. Department of Energy has set an objective to capture 90% of CO2 from the environment with 99% storage permanence at less than a 10% increase in energy costs, which itself would be a Herculean task. With the value of GreenCarbon Technology and the DOE's objectives, CABN has massive upside potential,” she concluded.

“We are assigning a 'Speculative Buy' rating to CABN stock with a 12-month target price of $0.32.”

April 10 - Is Microhoo Good for You?

NeXplore CEO Edward Mandel Speaks Out for the Average Consumer, Laments Diminished Choice, Little Differentiation Among Leading Search Engines

As media coverage of Microsoft's recent bid to acquire Yahoo! piles up and debate among industry pundits over what each company stands to gain or lose should Microsoft succeed reaches a near-deafening pitch, little-to-no thought or attention is being given to how the merging of the second- (Yahoo!) and third- (Microsoft/Live Search) largest search engines will impact the average consumer, according to Edward Mandel, founder and chief executive officer of NeXplore Corporation (OTC: NXPC).

Said Mandel: "Right now, search is dominated by a handful of players locked in a war of attrition, but their back-end battle for computational brawn and algorithmic complexity has done little to advance search over the past few years. They are so myopically focused on what the other is doing that they've lost sight of making the search experience easier, more enjoyable and more productive for the average consumer.

"In my opinion, the average consumer would not be best served by a Microsoft-Yahoo! merger. The last thing people need today — and the marketers trying to reach them need — is less choice and diversity in search, which is probably the only sure thing this mega-merger will deliver.

"The big four — Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and Ask — are virtually indistinguishable. Meanwhile a new breed of search and social computing company is surging through the Internet. Generations coming online now and in the future are infinitely more Internet savvy and will be much more discerning than present-day consumers. They will effortlessly break or sidestep old search habits. I believe consumers will demand more variety, immediacy, personalization, and rich-media in their search and social computing experience, and will disdain anything that comes close to a walled garden."

For its part, NeXplore Corporation recently launched NeXplore Search (www.NeXplore.com), an innovative Web 2.0 search engine optimized for a superior end-user experience, rich-media display and social network integration. NeXplore Search is currently open for public beta.

May 7 - India's Growth Story; Spending and Innovation in PC Markets, Cell Phone Markets, Green Technology and Digital Media & Entertainment

USA Video Interactive Corp.'s Digital Watermarking Technology Deployed in Bollywood

www.IndiaStockMarket.com, a global investor website for investing in India within Investorideas.com, reports on the rapid economic growth story in India and some of the key sectors that are impacted. With an economy growing at nine percent, spending and innovation in technology across personal computers, cell phones, greentech and digital media is on the rise.

USA Video Interactive Corp.'s (OTCBB: USVO) (CDNX: US.V) recently announced that four production and distribution companies in Bollywood, the world's largest film and entertainment industry, based in Mumbai, India, will be deploy their unique digital watermarking product, MediaSentinel(TM), to protect against piracy domestically and internationally. The companies will begin using MediaSentinel(TM) through PIO TV Pvt. Ltd. (www.pioTV.com), India's only digital integrated media Platform Company.

India's Media and Entertainment is accelerating and according to industry stats, was worth INR402.43 billion (USD9.12bn) in 2006, a growth of 13.98% over 2005, which is higher than GDP growth rate.

"It is expected that the industry will grow at a CAGR of 34.17% during 2006-10."

At the Seoul Digital Forum, Sumner Redstone, Chairman of Viacom and CBS Corporation (Market, News) stated in his keynote, "Governments in China and India are starting to take an active interest in reinforcing copyrights, if only to protect their own home grown content."

Shemaroo Entertainment, an Indian company and distributor of Indian films, recently reported it expects to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30 to 35 per cent over the next three years but also raised concerns over video-piracy, which causes the company Rs 650 crore in revenue-losses.

In the cellular sector, Reliance Communications Limited, ( BOM:532712 ) an integrated communications service provider with an individual, enterprise and carrier customer base of over 30 million announced Financial results for the year ended March 31, 2008 with net profit up by 70.8% and revenue higher by 31.8 %. Reliance is the most profitable integrated telecom company in India, which has grown to become the world's second biggest cell phone market, following China. India grew to a 200-million cellular subscriber mark as of September 2007.

In the tech sector, according to recent reports at www.idcindia.com, "India's information technology and IT-enabled Services (ITeS) industry will more than double in size by 2012."

IDC also announced data earlier, "During calendar year 2007 the overall India Server market factory revenue grew by 24% over calendar year 2006 to touch US$ 727 million* and unit shipments grew by 19% to 135,615 during the same period. Apart from traditional sectors like telecom, BFSI and manufacturing, 2007 also saw the emergence of retail and construction as key demand drivers."

Other research from IDC India notes, "The India Client Personal Computer (PC) market crossed yet another milestone to ship nearly 6.5 million PCs in a calendar year, thereby recording 20% year-on-year growth in unit shipments (compared to 5.4 million units in CY2006)."

From Tech to greentech, business leaders at a US-India renewable energy conference in Washington noted that "India's role as a hub for US technology companies could be mimicked in the renewable energy market," calling for greater deregulation and a global price on carbon emissions to help spur growth in alternative fuel sources.

With rapid economic growth, rising incomes, an increasing number of billionaires and millionaires, forty-four per cent of the Top 100 Fortune 500 companies setting up offices in India, just like China, is a force to be reckoned with.

Facing challenges of rising food costs and oil costs as challenges, India looks ahead to innovation and technology for answers.

It focuses primarily on the licensing and development of proprietary drug candidates that are related to cancer therapeutics, which are already on the market or in development.

The ZIO-301, an anti-cancer agent that targets mitosis like the taxanes, is in a Phase I trial. The company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

ZIOP News:

May 9 - ZIOPHARM Receives FDA Orphan Drug Designation for Palifosfamide (ZIO-201) in the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma

ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (NASD: ZIOP) announced that the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to palifosfamide in the treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). The United States Orphan Drug Act of 1983 was created to provide incentives for companies to develop and market treatments for diseases or conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. The Orphan Drug designation provides eligibility for a seven-year period of market exclusivity in the United States after product approval, an accelerated review process, grant funding, tax benefits and an exemption from user fees.

Soft tissue sarcomas represent a rare and diverse group of tumors that are not well understood. STS tumors can occur anywhere within the body including muscle, fat, nerves, vascular tissue, and other connective tissues. STS tumors account for about 1% of all cancers in adults and 10% in children. According to Cancer Statistics and the National Cancer Institute, there are an estimated 12,000 new cases of sarcomas diagnosed in the United States (US) each year, including approximately 9,000 cases of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) and 3,000 cases of bone sarcomas. Deaths attributable to STS are estimated at 3,500 per year, while 1,200 per year are due to bone sarcomas. Although the annual new incidence of sarcoma is relatively low, the prevalence of patients with sarcomas is quite high, with a 5-year survival rate of STS of 50% to 60%.

“There is significant unmet need for additional soft tissue sarcoma treatment beyond locally effective surgery,” said Jonathan Lewis, MD, PhD, and Chief Executive Officer of ZIOPHARM. “Palifosfamide has demonstrated activity against sarcomas in heavily pre-treated patients as well as evidencing fewer side effects than similar treatments used in this setting. We are pleased to have received Orphan Drug designation and look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA in advancing palifosfamide toward commercialization.”

ABOUT PALIFOSFAMIDE

Palifosfamide (IPM), the active moiety of ifosfamide (IFOS), is a bi-functional alkylator that causes irreparable inter-strand DNA cross-linking, resulting in cell death. Palifosfamide is equal to or more active than IFOS in diverse cancer models. Unlike IFOS, which is a pro-drug, palifosfamide is directly active against cancer cells. Also, unlike IFOS, palifosfamide is not metabolized to acrolein or chloroacetaldehyde which cause bladder or central nervous system toxicities. Intravenously (IV) administered palifosfamide is currently completing phase II testing in both advanced soft tissue and bone sarcomas, while a recently initiated phase I combination study with the FDA approved front-line therapy Adriamycin® (doxorubicin) is ongoing. The final results from these studies will form the basis for an expected phase II randomized trial in the front- or second-line setting to initiate late in the third quarter of this year. Following further preclinical study, an oral form of palifosfamide is expected to enter phase I study in solid tumors early in 2009.

Alloy Steel Incorporated (OTCBB: AYSI) had sales of $4,206,235 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1,753,814 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These sales consist solely of the sale of our Arcoplate product. Substantially all of our sales during the periods were denominated in Australian dollars. Sales were converted into U.S. dollars at the conversion rate of $0.89768 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $0.77805 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 representing the average foreign exchange rate for the respective year to date periods.

Alloy Steel had sales of $7,386,574 and $3,412,121 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and the six months ended March 31, 2007 respectively. These sales consist solely of our Arcoplate products.

The sales increase is attributable to increased orders from new mining projects in Australia.

Gross Profit and Cost of Sales

Alloy Steel had cost of sales of $1,762,635 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1,047,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The gross profit amounted to $2,443,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $705,914 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Alloy Steel had a cost of sales of $3,563,501 and $1,786,463 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and the six months ended March 31, 2007 respectively. Alloy Steel's gross profit was $3,823,073 or 51.8% of sales, and $1,625,658 or 47.6% of sales, for the respective six month periods. The increase in gross profit margin has been achieved through negotiation of better raw materials prices for some supplies during the period, as well as increased production through the mill without the need to increase direct labor costs.

Operating Expenses

Alloy Steel had no material operating expenses other than selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Alloy Steel had selling, general and administrative expenses of $785,594 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $564,304 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Alloy Steel had operating expenses of $1,552,175 and $1,091,722 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and six months ended March 31, 2007 respectively.

Factors contributing to the increased expenditure for both the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2008, increased travel expenditure to assist marketing and increased labor costs for sales and administrative employees.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes

Alloy Steel's income before income tax expense was $1,650,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $148,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Alloy Steel had a net income before income taxes of $2,285,980 and $534,801 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and six months ended March 31, 2007 respectively.

Net Income (Loss)

Alloy Steel had a net income of $1,154,206 or $0.068 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of ($27,561), or ($0.002) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

An adjustment to recognize the use of prior year tax losses of Alloy Steel's Australian subsidiary was made during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 as it was determined at that time that it was likely for the subsidiary to recoup all prior year tax losses that had accumulated resulting in the reported net loss for that period. The tax losses of the subsidiary have been recouped and the subsidiary is recognizing its accruing tax liability in each quarter.

Alloy Steel had a net income of $1,588,911, or $0.094 per share, and $358,303, or $0.021 per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and six months ended March 31, 2007 respectively.

It is noted that predominantly all operations of Alloy Steel are conducted by the Australian subsidiary, and therefore, the majority of the amounts reported are initially recorded in Australian dollars by the subsidiary. The difference in the value of the Australian dollar compared to the US dollar has been reducing, and therefore the exchange rate movement has had an increasing impact upon the value reported by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $982,297, consisting of net income of $1,588,911 adjusted for depreciation and impairment expenses of $133,230 to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities and an increase in cash and cash equivalents attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $739,844 which consisted primarily of a decrease in accounts receivable and other current assets of $810,910 which was offset by an increase in income tax payable of $171,792 and decreasing accounts payable and other current liabilities of $100,726.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital surplus of $2,455,947.

May 7 - CLX Medical, Inc. Announces Increasing Interest and Sales of Zonda's Rapid Point of Care Test for Chlamydia

European Health Agencies Focus on the Growing Chlamydia Epidemic

CLX Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXN), which is focused on the launch and distribution of unique medical diagnostic testing products, announced that the company's European distributors have reported an increased interest in diagnostic testing products for chlamydia, which has resulted in increased sales of Zonda Incorporated's rapid point of care test for chlamydia by those distributors.

Distributors in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg have reported the increase over recent months and attribute it to a greater focus on screening for chlamydia by national health organizations in those countries.

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) in the United Kingdom has put an increased focus on the chlamydia epidemic and encourages testing for all sexually active men and women under the age of 25. The program in England was established in 2003 with the objective of controlling chlamydia through the early detection and treatment of asymptomatic infection. As in the United States, chlamydia is now the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection in the UK.

"Given the growing chlamydia epidemic, it is no surprise that interest in chlamydia screening products, including Zonda's HandiLab-C test for Chlamydia, is increasing in Europe as well as in the United States," commented Vera Leonard, chief executive officer of Zonda and CLX. "Chlamydia is a serious health problem, and we are currently positioning the Zonda chlamydia testing product to serve as an effective and readily available screening rapid point of care device for health care professionals worldwide."

CLX currently holds a majority interest in Zonda, which has developed rapid point of care tests for medical and non-medical markets. Zonda's tests utilize proprietary technology that detects enzymes that are specific to the target microorganisms and are ideal for the clinical laboratory, point of care, and the over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Zonda's chlamydia product has been distributed in Europe for approximately three years.

CLX is currently preparing to initiate clinical trials for Zonda's HandiLab-C test for Chlamydia as part of the process to achieve FDA clearance for the product. With FDA clearance, CLX will seek to achieve widespread distribution for the HandiLab-C within the U.S., as well as broader distribution into worldwide markets. As part of the preparation for clinical trials, a validation study has been commissioned in order to perfect the testing protocol.

The company has also identified and is in negotiations with a major European distributor to serve as the sole importer of CLX's subsidiary products into the European market.

The master distributor will provide product support and product packaging control; coordinate sales to other European distributors; distribute products in its own territory; act as the registered EU representative for CE marked products; and assist with the development and implementation of pricing structures.

"Even as we continue through the process of achieving FDA clearance in the United States, we will also work with our selected master distributor to increase the use of the HandiLab-C in the European market," added Ms. Leonard.

Management's Geological Research Shows That the Kern County Lease is Within the Ant Hill, Edison and North East Edison Formations

Titan Oil and Gas Inc. (OTC: TNOG) announced that the company has initiated development of its 480 acre project in Kern County, California. Titan management has finished a preliminary report on the lease in Kern County and is satisfied that there is sufficient reason to pursue production on the site. “Having assessed the potential of oil production it seems that in the current environment of rising prices and rapidly improving recovery technology that there is more than enough economic incentive to proceed,” according to Titan Oil and Gas President, Brandon Toth.

The area of the lease falls within the zone of three different formations, The Edison, The Northeast Edison and Ant Hill. There are a total of 1810 wells within the fields that surround the Titan Oil and Gas lease in Kern County. The total proven reserves for these wells in 2006, the last year the State of California has data on, was 15,745 Mbbl.

May 8 - Clarification Regarding Recent Stock Transactions

Radio One, Inc. (NASD: ROIA and ROIAK) provided clarification with respect to certain stock transactions recently executed in the names of Catherine L. Hughes and Alfred C. Liggins, III. On April 25, 2008, two stock sale transactions were executed in the names of the executives. These transactions were the result of variable pre-paid forward sales transactions executed on April 25, 2006 in which the executives agreed with a brokerage firm to sell certain shares on a fixed date. At the time of the arrangement, Ms. Hughes and Mr. Liggins pledged shares to the broker with all or a portion of the shares to be sold at the end of a two year period depending on the stock price.

"Ms. Hughes and I want to affirmatively allay any fears that we were selling into the stock’s current weakness," says Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One's CEO and President. "These sales by a broker were the result of the expiration of certain forward sales transactions initiated two years ago. We want to assure all of our security holders that we stand firmly committed to Radio One and these transactions were isolated sales triggered solely by historical events."

May 8 - Radio One, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

Radio One, Inc. (NASD: ROIA and ROIAK) reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net revenue was approximately $72.5 million, a decrease of 2% from the same period in 2007. Station operating income1 was approximately $28.9 million, a decrease of 15% from the same period in 2007. Operating income was approximately $18.5 million, a decrease of 16% from the operating income in the same period in 2007. Net loss was approximately $18.3 million, or a loss of $0.19 per basic share, a decrease from the reported net income of $744,000 in the same period in 2007.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One’s CEO and President stated, “While our radio stations outperformed their markets by almost 600 basis points, driven mainly by local advertising, the significant decline in national advertising held our overall core radio station revenue growth to 0.9%. Under the current market conditions, I believe this performance demonstrates that our management changes and leadership are having a favorable impact. When combined with reduced revenues at Reach Media and Giant Magazine, consolidated net revenue declined 2%.

In March, we successfully expanded our One Love Gospel Cruise event, which generated over $2.5 million of revenue. This well branded event, when coupled with our strong portfolio of gospel stations will no doubt provide for future aggressive monetization of these assets.

During the quarter we invested in new on-air talent for our syndicated programs, notably Mo’Nique, and these investments should deliver future ratings and revenue growth. Our internet investment and build-out continues on plan, augmented by the recent acquisition of Community Connect Inc. (CCI) and the launch of Newsone.com, which will accelerate our path to profitability in the on-line space.

The sale of KRBV-FM in Los Angeles for $137.5 million is on track to close during the second quarter and will provide the Company with additional liquidity and de-leveraging opportunities.

With weak market conditions projected for the balance of this year, the management team is focused on integrating CCI to reap revenue synergies, making our business processes more efficient and controlling our costs.”

May 9 - Presstek Announces First Quarter 2008 Net Profit

Increased Gross Margins; Reduced Operating Expenses

Presstek, Inc. (NASD: PRST) reported a net income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, versus a net loss from continuing operations of ($0.9) million, or ($.03) per share, in the first quarter of 2007. First quarter 2008 results include pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $0.6 million related to the company's Business Improvement Plan ("BIP"). First quarter 2007 operating results included pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $0.3 million.

On April 3, 2008, the company announced it expected revenue in the first quarter of 2008 to be as much as 20% below prior year levels, driven by reduced European revenues due to the disruption in the company's European operations related to the company's recently completed business reviews, U.S. economic weakness, and customer anticipation of a major industry convention in Germany in May 2008. As expected, first quarter revenue decreased $12.7 million or 19.5% to $52.4 million due to the above-mentioned issues.

"Despite a 19.5% revenue decline versus last year's first quarter, the company reported gross profit only slightly below first quarter 2007 levels and positive earnings versus a loss in the same period a year ago," commented Presstek President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Jacobson. "In addition, we were pleased to see a 38% increase in DI plate sales in the quarter, and service margins of approximately 26%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for special charges was $3.4 million in the first quarter, and debt net of cash at March 29, 2008 was $22.1 million, a 40% improvement over last year at the same time. First quarter results demonstrate that our Business Improvement Plan has been successful in enhancing profitability. We continue to expect that revenue in the second quarter of 2008 will exceed first quarter levels, and gross profit and operating expenses will continue to reflect the ongoing positive impact of our Business Improvement Plan."

Consolidated gross margin in the first quarter of 2008 was 34.5% versus 28.4% a year ago. Gross margin improvements were driven by the positive impact of the company's BIP. In addition, the company's higher margin consumables and service annuity businesses represented a greater proportion of total sales in the quarter which had a positive impact on gross margin. First quarter 2008 operating expenses declined $1.5 million to $17.3 million in the quarter versus $18.8 million in 2007. Excluding restructuring and other charges, operating expenses declined 9.8% year over year.

Lasertel's external sales were $1.6 million, slightly below year ago levels largely due to the timing of orders. Lasertel recorded an operating loss in the first quarter of $1.0 million.

The company also announced it has reached an agreement to sell its Lasertel property in Tucson, Arizona. The company expects this transaction to close during the third quarter of 2008.

The company also announced that its Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, commencing at 1:30 P.M. local time, at the Waldorf Astoria, 301 Park Avenue, New York, New York.

"As I complete my first year as President and Chief Executive Officer of Presstek," Mr. Jacobson concluded, "I recognize that there's still a great deal of work ahead of us, but I am also pleased with the substantial progress we have made. Our business reviews are complete; our BIP is executing well; and debt net of cash has significantly improved. Our leadership team is excited at the prospect of driving long-term revenue growth, leveraging our improving operating structure and delivering increased profitability."
