Management of Mindpix (OTCBB: MNDP) has determined it necessary to give a 2007 year-end update on the progress of the UltraFlex fitness device as well as make our shareholders aware of recent material decisions regarding previously announced press releases.

Looking back at the year in review Mindpix has reached many important UltraFlex milestones including completing a successful twelve-week UltraFlex fitness and weight loss study, producing workout DVDs, production of a "man on the street" featuring first-time users, signed the 2007 Female Presenter of the Year Forbes Riley, introducing TheraFlex to the Physical Therapy and Training to Physiotherapy Associates, acquiring testimonials from fitness instructors and personal trainers, a physical therapy training DVD, signing a major celebrity, introducing new physical therapy and active senior products (TheraFlex) to name a few. It has been quite a year and the outlook for 2008 looks equally promising.

Mindpix has decided for strategic reasons not to air UltraFlex commercials in conjunction with Supplements To Go Ms. Fitness World Pageant. Mindpix had previously announced (Nov 19th 2007) that it intended to air two sixty-second commercials during the pageant broadcast on Fox Sport News beginning January 1, 2008. It was determined that airing the commercials prior to our infomercial national launch would not make good marketing sense particularly due to the fact that our celebrity talent would not be featured in the commercials. Mindpix holds the option to air commercials beginning in May 2008 during the Supplements To Go Ms. Fitness USA Pageant.

Mindpix management also has cancelled the exhibition at the annual Baseball Team Medicine Conference in St. Louis on January 3-5, 2008. A scheduling conflict made it impossible for our medical division team to attend.

Management believes that the marketing strategy in place is sound and looks forward to executing the business plan with profitable results for 2008. Mindpix has benefited from loyal shareholders who have taken the time to review our progress and communicated with us ways in which they can assist us in reaching our business goals.

January 8 - Distributed Energy Systems Books Orders for 7 Advanced Wind Turbines

Distributed Energy Systems Corp. (NASD: DESC), an innovative leader in wind power technology, announced today it received orders for seven Northwind 100 wind turbines for use in Alaska and the Northeast region of the United States.

Four of the advanced 100 kilowatt wind systems were sold to the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC), a utility responsible for providing power to 53 villages in Alaska. The other three wind turbines were ordered by Sustainable Energy Developments, Inc., (SED) an Ontario, NY-based company, currently developing wind projects with businesses, municipalities, residences, schools and farms in the Northeast.

Bud Cherry, chief executive officer of Distributed Energy Systems, said: "These important sales emphasize DESC's commitment to supplying state of the art, reliable, and cost effective wind turbines in extremely diverse environments. This latest follow-on sale to AVEC — their 15th through 18th Northwind units — is gratifying to us, underscoring once again this established customer's continuing satisfaction with the Northwind 100. We also welcome the partnership with Sustainable Energy Developments as we bring the Northwind 100 into the "lower 48" marketplace."

AVEC's four new Northwind 100 units are planned to be installed in its remote village diesel systems in Mekoryuk and Savoonga, which border the Bering Sea. In these wind-diesel applications, the Northwind 100 offsets the ever-increasing costs of diesel power generation. "In 2007, three Northwind 100 turbines provided over 20% of the electrical production for two interconnected villages on Nelson Island." said Brent Petrie, special projects manager for the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative. "That installation alone displaced approximately $85,000 in diesel fuel costs in 2007." Petrie said AVEC is evaluating the potential installation of wind turbines in up to 27 of the 53 communities it serves.

"The Northwind 100 will be a crucial part of SED's continued success in the Northeast," said Kevin Schulte, CEO and Co-Founder of SED. "The demand of projects requiring this size turbine matched with the respect we have for Distributed Energy Systems made the partnership and purchase of the three Northwind 100s a no-brainer."

With 100kW of rated power, the Northwind 100 was designed for use in wind- diesel applications, and more recently has been released as an alternative power generator for small businesses, commercial farms, small communities, schools and universities, and small corporate and industrial sites. The turbine uses gearless design and direct-drive architecture to deliver high energy capture and low maintenance requirements to a mainstream wind energy marketplace.

USAU News:

January 8 - USA Uranium CEO's 2008 Message

Only eight months have passed since USA Uranium (OTCBB: USAU) made its 2007 debut in the uranium mining industry. Our progress towards our goal of helping re-establish the dominance of America’s uranium mining industry and securing America’s energy future has been both substantial and rewarding.

The nuclear industry is growing around the world; uranium is becoming an extremely sought-after commodity. America was once a world leader in the development of clean electricity from nuclear power, as well as in the production of uranium to fuel its reactors. Today, as with oil, we are a huge net importer and are at risk of foreign governments controlling our access to uranium for our current and future needs.

It is the mission of USA Uranium to work diligently to, once more, make the US completely self sufficient in the production of uranium. We intend to do this in the safest and most environmentally sound manner from continental US properties, carefully located, so that they pose no risk to communities, families, and individuals. We all live in this Country together, and it is our responsibility to ensure our future generations will also enjoy it.

We have chosen our initial properties with extreme care and only from those areas where the resources can be extracted in an environmentally safe manner. We firmly believe that uranium exploration and mining should only be conducted only in areas where the rights and peaceful enjoyment of other’s property are not violated. We are exploring for uranium to help secure America’s energy future and protect our environment from additional greenhouse gasses.

The future of the USA Uranium program continues to look more favorable: increasing energy demand, skyrocketing oil prices, and alarm over greenhouse gasses are coming together as major long-term global issues. The world is turning to uranium to meet the growing demand for clean, sustainable, emission-free electricity and America is increasingly recognizing the need for supply from domestic deposits like USA Uranium’s.

Our high-quality properties in the US have the potential to address the increasing demand for uranium to generate emissions-free electricity in the US. Through our exciting initial exploration success in the US, we have established ourselves as the ‘new breed’ uranium company with a stated commitment of exploring properties in ecologically suitable areas. In addition to our two initial projects in the La Sal District of southeastern Utah, there is potential for further discovery on our Loa property in the Henry Mountain district of Utah, where there are strong indications of new areas of mineralization.

As the year advances and we continue to plan and prepare for the La Sal West project, and begin exploration on the other projects, our commitment to the best exploration practices and our focus on individual rights and environmental protection is paramount and will continue to guide all of our activities. This commitment is a primary component of who USA Uranium is as a Company, and is integral to helping us achieve success by ensuring that America is able to secure its energy future.

January 8 - Aurelio Intercepts 130 Feet Averaging 2.2 Grams of Gold per Metric Ton and 45 Feet of 7 Grams of Gold per Metric Ton at MAN Area of Hill Copper-Zinc Project, Arizona

Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB: AULO) (FWB: F3RA) announced gold assay results from recent drilling in the MAN Area of the Company's wholly owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project, located in the Turquoise Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona.

The fire assay results reported in Table 1 correspond to previously-released copper, zinc, and silver assay information for drill holes BR07-24 and -26 (see November 8, 2007 news release).

Drill hole BR07-25 was assayed for gold between the depths of 235 and 450 feet to determine the gold content of a previously-reported copper/zinc/silver assay interval (175 feet at 1.45% copper, 0.45% zinc and 1.8 parts-per-million (ppm) silver, including 100 ft averaging 2.29% copper, 0.11% zinc and 1.8 ppm silver). Gold assay results were 125 parts-per-billion (ppb) and 160 ppb, respectively, over these intervals. The strongest gold intercept came below this interval, with an average of 188 ppb between 410 feet and 450 feet.

Gold assays for holes BR07-27 and BR07-28 are pending.

The results indicate the presence of significant gold mineralization at the MAN Area.

The Company’s geologists believe that there are probably multiple phases of gold deposition at the Hill project. Establishing the distribution and nature of the gold mineralization will be a primary focus of the next drilling program, scheduled for the first quarter of 2008.

January 8 - CytoGenix Announces Notice of Allowance in the U.S. for Herpes Patent

CytoGenix, Inc. (OTCBB: CYGX) announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance for a patent on its Herpes composition from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The allowed patent entitled, “Treatment of HSV-Related Pathologies Using ssDNA,” claims both the composition of matter utilizing the Company’s single stranded DNA (ssDNA) expression vector technology and methods of treatment utilizing the therapeutic compound.

While most pharmacological agents are employed to chemically signal cells to interrupt, reduce production or bind and regulate specific disease-causing proteins, this application of Cytogenix’s novel ssDNA technology directs infected cell(s) to make a short nucleic acid sequence that specifically targets and impedes the activity of a Herpes virus protein needed for viral reproduction. The specificity of this application reduces the possibility of side effects and/or long-term effects and is a more direct approach to targeting the origin of disease rather than merely treating symptoms.

“Allowance of this patent is an important element in our efforts to commercialize our Herpes therapeutic product. With this milestone accomplished, the Company is concentrating its efforts to complete required testing necessary to meet FDA regulations for an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application leading to clinical trials of its anti-Herpes Simplivir™ product candidate. The Company’s decision to change its process from one using bacteria-based DNA production to its cell-free synDNA™ manufacturing technology has necessitated the process of resubmitting an IND for its Herpes therapeutic product. With necessary funding, the Company will move as quickly as possible towards the completion of this process”, stated Malcolm Skolnick, CytoGenix President and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain confident that our Simplivir product will receive an IND that will allow us to proceed with clinical trials and ultimately to commercialization of this therapeutic.”

Dr. Cindee Ewell, CytoGenix patent counsel, indicated, “Grant of this patent in the United States provides a major step forward in validating the use of our ssDNA expression technology in DNA-based therapeutics and should provide support for allowance of other Company patent applications utilizing similar technology.”

CytoGenix, Inc. is a Houston-based biopharmaceutical company pioneering the new field of gene based medicine and is focused on developing innovative vaccines and therapeutic products using its three proprietary technology platforms: synDNATM non-bacterial production methodology, single stranded DNA (ssDNA) expression, and oligonucleotide based anti-bacterial technologies. CytoGenix currently holds 13 granted patents and 57 international or US pending patent applications claiming methods and materials in connection with these platform technologies.

January 8 - Itronics Gold'n Minerals, a Special Purpose Mining Subsidiary, is Launched

Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO) (Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges: ITG) reported that it has formed Itronics Gold'n Minerals, Inc., a special purpose subsidiary, that will acquire gold and mineral properties and invest in Junior Gold and Mineral Companies which provide the opportunity to develop and commercialize environmentally friendly mining and mineral extraction and processing technologies.

Now that Itronics' technical services group, Whitney & Whitney, Inc. has established the global Gold Producing Stocks web site, www.insidemetals.com, it will use this worldwide data base and its extensive mineral property library to identify certain properties and/or companies that the new subsidiary can acquire or invest in at relatively low cost. Properties acquired will be developed or joint ventured, and may be able to utilize Itronics' metal and mineral extraction technologies to achieve environmentally compatible mineral processing.

"Adding this new subsidiary to Itronics integrated group of businesses accomplishes two important objectives for the Company," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "It creates a third path to large scale growth for Itronics, and it provides Itronics an opportunity to monetize more of its intellectual property for the benefit of its shareholders."

Whitney & Whitney, Inc. will provide management and technical services to the new subsidiary, which will seek multi-mineral properties and make strategic investments in small specialty companies that are in early stage operation development or small scale commercial operation and that have the potential for expansion. A strategic objective is for this subsidiary to become an operating mining division for Itronics, which will utilize advanced environmentally compatible technologies to mine, extract, and sell mineral and metal products from multi-mineral properties.

The Company believes that this expansion will increase the rate of income and asset growth for Itronics' shareholders. The funding plan is to privately place shares in the subsidiary with qualified investors to provide start up capital and then to take it public within a two to three year time frame. The Company believes that this will become the exit strategy for the initial private investors, and it will create measurable market value for Itronics.

Itronics believes that sharply rising gold and silver prices in particular and rising prices for all metals and minerals in general, are providing a strong incentive for investors to fund new mining projects as well as mineral extraction and processing technology development. "With our demonstrated ability to create and commercially establish revolutionary new recycling and chemical process technology, and with Whitney & Whitney's successful track record of assisting mining companies with new mine development, we are confident that Itronics is well positioned to participate in this new and rapidly emerging technology segment," said Dr. Whitney.

Establishing the Itronics Gold'n Minerals is being implemented pursuant to Itronics eight-part, five year business plan that was first summarized in a press release on June 3, 2005.
