linkplus changed the name to raptor last year, but still keeps lkpl as the stock symbol. they told me they were taking the company private, then going public again. i cannot fathom these machinations, i believe it has to do with getting funding for the company. the stock still does not trade with any volume at all, yet everyone is holding their shares so tight any volume makes the price spike way up or down. their association with JHU and now UM is still the best indicator i have they will eventually be successful. here's a news story from your second link mentioning the name change. they have been completely quiet for over a year now, but i heard a rumor of a $multimillion sale(over 10mm) to dubia. i hope they are packaging the company for a sale, which has been their plan all along.
