Oct 20, 2010 08:35 ET Medizone International Announces Successful Completion of First Round of Hospital Beta-Testing for AsepticSureTM KINGSTON, ON--(Marketwire - October 20, 2010) - Medizone International Inc. (OTCBB: MZEI) (OTCQB: MZEI) announced today successful completion of the first phase of AsepticSure™ beta testing at Hotel Dieu Hospital, an ambulatory care teaching and research hospital affiliated with Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Dr. Michael E. Shannon stated, "We are absolutely delighted with the results. Pre-inoculated stainless steel test discs as well as carpet swatches typically found in many health care facilities were placed in selected locations to assess for antimicrobial effects. Not only were 100% of the MRSA and C. difficile spores eliminated from the stainless steel discs (7.1 logs bacterial kill for MRSA and 6.2 log bacterial kill for C difficile spores), the pathogens were also completely eliminated from all contaminated carpet samples, something unachievable with any other technology we are aware of. Thus, the system performed to our highest expectations. The AsepticSure™ system has proven to be able to achieve a very high level of microbial kill to the sterilization standard of > 6 log (99.9999%) in the laboratory setting and now in a hospital setting."
Dr. David Pichora, a leading orthopedic and hand surgeon, and the hospital's Chief Executive Officer, observed, "I am pleased that Hotel Dieu Hospital has been able to participate in what appears to be a promising breakthrough in addressing the global challenge of reducing hospital acquired infections. The results of the AsepticSure™ sterilization technology tests are encouraging. Technology that could help hospitals improve patient safety, reduce infection rates and reduce costs is exciting, indeed. We are pleased to be participating in this safety initiative and we look forward to continued participation."
Medizone International, Inc. is a research and development company engaged in developing its AsepticSure™ System to decontaminate and sterilize hospital surgical suites, emergency rooms, intensive care units, patient rooms, schools and other critical infrastructure. A government variant is being developed for bio-terrorism counter measures with additional variants for sports facilities and food processing applications.
Hotel Dieu Hospital is the ambulatory care teaching hospital for Kingston and Southeastern Ontario, providing expert care to more than 500,000 people in the region. Our specialized services include outpatient pediatrics, ophthalmology, diabetes education, breast assessment, day surgery, urgent care and mental health programs.

Hey red, want to know if you could do a chart for SRSR again, I always enjoy your charts!
Here's a bear for you, this guy makes some pretty interesting points:
May's Big Selloff Could Be Just the Beginning
By BRETT ARENDS
Are you ready for a lot more turmoil?
You had better be -- because there's a good chance that's what you're going to get.
Nobody knows for certain, of course. All stock-market predictions need to be taken with a little salt. But there are reasons to suspect that the sudden plunges of the past few weeks may be unhappy omens of what's to come.
Like last week, with stocks lurching wildly with the headlines -- up by triple digits one day, down the next. For the month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 7.9% and is negative for the year. The Nasdaq Composite and the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index also are in the red for the year.
Some pretty smart people are cautious. Seth Klarman at Baupost Group is worried. John Hussman of the Hussman Funds says all sorts of warning lights have lit up across his screen. Even Ron Muhlenkamp of the Muhlenkamp Fund, who usually takes a sunnier view of things, says he has moved a big chunk of his mutual fund into cash in case there's a plunge.
How far will it go? Mr. Hussman says the technical indicators have only been this bad 19 times before in the last half century -- and on average the market plunged about 20% over the following 12 months. When markets were also high, like now, the picture's even worse.
Ugh.
Too many people have simply assumed that the last 14 months have been the start of the next boom. But it may have been a typical "bear-market rally" doomed to fall flat on its face.
That's what stock-market historian Russell Napier says. He thinks we're in a giant, generational slide that began in 2000 and has several years still to run.
We forget that the stock market moves in long, decadal swings. Slumps like those in the 1930s or the 1970s, or in Japan after 1990, weren't simple, straight-down affairs. They were punctuated by huge "sucker" rallies that eventually faded away. But, over all, the market bounced along sideways, or down, for a decade or two.
Two Decades?
The slide that began in 1969 didn't end until 1982. The slump after 1929 didn't give way until the late 1940s. Japan's gloom is still with us.
In general, the bigger the bull-market boom, the bigger and nastier the bear market that follows. The bull market of the '80s and '90s was the biggest on record. So expect the bear that follows to be ugly and tenacious.
Mr. Napier has studied the big stock-market grizzlies of the past. Generally speaking, they took a long time to die, and didn't do so until shares got really, really cheap.
March 2009? Not even close.
He fears Wall Street could fall by half, or worse, over the next four years before this bear is finally slain. Very few are that apocalyptic. But plenty fear more choppy times to come.
As one respected fund manager told me not long ago, Wall Street had spent too many years overvalued, from 1994 through 2008, for last year to mark the end of the reckoning.
Either way, stock markets today simply look too high. Based on certain long-term measures -- such as comparing share prices to asset costs or normalized profits -- Wall Street could be as much as 50% overvalued.
And then there's the economic backdrop.
It's not just the headline news out of Europe that has gotten people spooked. The problems are deeper.
This recession wasn't a normal one, so the recovery probably won't be either.
This slump wasn't caused by the economy "overheating," but by overborrowing -- on a massive scale, and over many years. It took place here, and in many countries around Europe, too.
Debt Hangover
The debt levels are without precedent. The bailouts have transferred a lot of private-sector debt to the public sector. But that's just moving the problem around.
The debt leaves a terrible drag on the economy as people try to save. And it is putting some countries' financial stability in question.
Inflation may yet come in due course. But Van Hoisington, a veteran bond manager from Austin, Texas, recently warned that the more imminent danger might be deflation -- falling wages and falling prices.
This is what has hammered Japan all these years. It's what turned the Crash of 1929 into the Great Depression. Deflation makes debts bigger in real, purchasing-power terms.
Where does that leave the regular investor?
Take a hard look at what you own, and what sort of downturn you think you could handle.
Too many investors -- and too many financial advisers -- are still running with the bull-market playbook: Take on risk; stay fully invested; buy the dips; equities always outperform.
Maybe it will work again -- if we have another bull market.
Are you really willing to bet your stack on that happening now?
A lot of very risky assets have boomed in the past 14 months. Investors in things like high-yield bonds and small-cap stocks have had a great ride. But if you couldn't stomach another plunge, you may want to scale back.
On the other hand, one should never get too gloomy. As a wise fund manager once told me, "Just remember, the economic fundamentals always look terrible!" And right now some blue-chip stocks -- here and overseas -- offer reasonable values. They may offer a good trade-off between risk and reward in this environment.

Unhappy Stock Owners Say Denny's Is No Grand Slam
By VITO RACANELLI
Denny's, the family restaurant chain known for its Grand Slam breakfast, is having a most unfamily-like proxy war.
Dissident shareholders are saying they can improve stock performance by cutting costs and allocating the company's capital better than the current management.
After canvassing a number of large and small institutional shareholders both supportive and critical of CEO Nelson Marchioli, Barron's concludes the dissidents are supported by stockholders of as much as 35% of Denny's shares outstanding, which would give them at least one of the three board seats sought in the May 19 vote. How many are won will depend on a few very large institutional holders, which together own about 75% of Denny's stock.
Dash Acquisitions, representing dissident holders of 7.1%, has said in SEC filings that the chain's "failed growth" strategy resulted in a 19% drop in guest traffic and a steady decline in same-store sales in recent years. Denny's stock has significantly underperformed its peers since 2004.
On May 6, a leading proxy advisory group, RiskMetrics Group, recommended shareholders vote for Jonathan Dash, one of three dissident nominees for board seats, saying, "Given the performance issues at Denny's...dissidents have made a reasonable case for change."
RiskMetrics did not recommend that Mr. Marchioli be removed from the board. And Denny's management received support from two other such advisory services, Glass Lewis and Proxy Governance.
In an interview, Denny's Chairwoman Debra Smithart-Oglesby disputes Barron's assessment of dissident support, but declines to give an estimate, saying she's "confident" shareholders back management.
In the same interview, Mr. Marchioli says Denny's is moving to a "long-term value strategy" to win back blue-collar customers. He adds that the company has paid down some 50% of its debt—which stands at $279 million—since 2005.
Denny's contends the dissidents are attempting to take control without paying a premium for the stock, and notes that the shares have outpaced peers in the nine years since Mr. Marchioli's arrival in 2001.
Last week, Denny's reported first-quarter profits of five cents a share, topping the four cents earned a year earlier. But same-store sales fell by about 6% and guest traffic fell again as well.
Should the dissidents win two or three board seats, the company's strategy is likely to change—probably for the better. If they don't get any, pressure on management could peter out. However, a dissident victory of just one seat could result in an extended boardroom tussle, not good for franchisees, management or shareholders.

CDIV for markerinb
Looks like we are going down before we go up here. Long term looks pretty nice if it doesnt break that support line. MACD looks like it is beginning to turn, keep an eye out for its crossover. RSI trending down too, watch for that to break.

Thanks SMD--you're getting good! (
Syyn,
Looks like the 2 year downtrend has broken as you can see in the long term chart I posted first. In the 2nd chart , the 6 month, you can see the new ascending support line. If the RSI breaks through its support line in the next couple of days it looks like it will test the PPS support line. The MACD on the 6 month is starting to head downward too along with a huuuge RED volume day, so I would guess we are heading back down to that pps support line.

SRV
On the weekly it looks like it is about to break the support line. I would hold of and see if it breaks, if you still like the fundies then wait for new support to take hold and look for the RSI, MACD, and volume to give buy signs.

Well I dont know about the fundies but I would say from the TA that the price will be pulling back in the near term if you want to add. The RSI is in a down trend and the MACD doesnt look good either. Watch for a bounce off of the blue trend line and reload.

I should have followed through with those charts, AFYG (E) is going mad even after the additional letter. HNAB is n on too shabby either
That is correct. And the only reason it's an ugly filled candle is because of the gap up. Tomorrow should be a good day.
pozn breaking out easy 50% i feel
Excuse me Red, but is that called a breakout?
srsr WOW

Excellent post by OntaREEo IMO...His response to this recent press release,

The post...
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=49227761
Niobium, and Beyond …
April 14, 2010 Press Release: “Sarissa Resources Announces Formation of an Advisory Board to Develop a Strategic Focus on Corporate and Project Development”
I am sure much of this has been covered, but to keep my impressions separate I am writing this without the benefit of the board first, so some of this can be a review for those with real short memories…
A truly incredible and transformative release! Are you kidding me? Could anything be more hidden in plain sight? How fortunate you all are to be shareholders here, because this will be transformative for you as well! You still think they are fumbling for money to drill a few more holes to eek out another technical report to try and tell the world they have some minerals? Think again!
I will make five major points …
1. Joint Venture! Given Scottspeak (under-promise and over-deliver), it could not be more clear. It is in the title of the press release for heaven’s sake; unless someone wants to spin another meaning on “Corporate Development.” Sure we heard comments at the PDAC, but this is in a PR. The Advisory Board is being formed “to provide expertise and consultation” for the “Nemegosenda niobium property and corporate development.” Doesn’t that just scream JOINT VENTURE at you?! If he was going to flip this property at a dime or even a quarter (which he could have done ten times over imo), he would not be taking this step. Plus, the idea of a JV is cemented in with the other points. Tied in with the PDAC comments, we have every reason to expect a JV sometime this year. Something Asian still looks to be a good bet; China and India were mentioned in the PR, and Korea was hinted at previously. Think Peterson knows some folks on that continent?! Wow! And imo, this is not only to create new opportunities, but to evaluate opportunities already on the plate.
2. We have REE’s! Again, the hint has always been there, but this is the second PR in a row to mention REE’s, after no official comments for over two years if I am not mistaken. By the background presented, there is little other reason to bring Yeates on board, except for his expertise in the “design and installation of Rare Earth Element extraction plant equipment.” It may a little early to speculate on a resource value, but since some of the preliminary data suggest the REE’s in aggregate could be as much as the niobium, we could cautiously estimate 25% - 50% of the niobium value in REE’s at this point. Since the niobium could be $30B to $100B, the REE’s could be $7.5B - $50B by this approach. Hey market, hello!
3. Quality People. I was blown away by the enormity of Yeates’ and Peterson’s qualifications. I am sure they have been expounded already, so I won’t repeat them here. Scott says it best “The knowledge of project development and contacts in the international and government world that we can gain through these two new additions to our team is unparalleled.” These were also deemed “initial” appointees, so it looks like we will soon be hearing about more. Also, don’t forget, a year ago they were dealing with scum operators like Hot Web and Converge Global. Now they are dealing with world class folks like Yeates and Peterson, and likely key people in Asia and around the world.
4. Why now? Since this PR fits so nicely with my developing DD mosaic, I took this point for granted until someone pointed it out to me. The timing of this PR in substantiating the concept of a JV this year is enormous. If they were really only seeking to drill holes and prove up the resource, a PR like this could be a year or more away. The fact that we get it now speaks volumes. They are definitely far enough along (including as of yet unannounced development) to be talking JV now. Not only that, it is smarter all the way around, and better for shareholders. Yes!
5. Intangibles. This PR suggests a lot of little things. In many ways, you have to love Scott’s integrity of character. Despite his vast expertise, he is smart enough to bring on more to be sure to do this thing right, with the people he brings on shoring up areas where he may be a little light. I also noticed that this was the third PR in four weeks, so he kept his word on comments uttered at the conference, and implies his priority on shareholder value. While much of his business plan is still a little vague, this makes it a fair amount clearer. This may not be moving as fast as some may like, but he is taking his time to do it right, and ultimately enhancing shareholder value way beyond the first (or second) deal to come along.
And some of you may remember, Scott did an interview early in 2009, in which he mentioned an 18-month plan of development. At the time, many pink players moaned, as 18 months is 3 lifetimes in the pink world. But that 18 months takes us to late summer or fall, and it is amazing how this is all seeming to come together and many of us forget some of the breadcrumbs we have been given. I am sure Scott would tell us all if he could, but first, he won’t predict, he will only report accomplishments, and second, imo there are some things tied up in confidentiality agreements for the moment.
Barring some conspiracy theory about some market manipulation by some player like NITE, it must be that only the existing longs are heeding the call at this point, because I don’t know why we are not at .25 already. Be that as it may, with the expected developments, it won’t be long until the world is (literally) beating a path to Sarissa’s doorstep. Some think we are already in the early innings of a campaign that will climax with the JV announcement, and we cannot be sure of the timing. With the right news in this process we could be .25 overnight on the way to .50 and $1 and beyond within 12 months imo, so you know what to do with every bit of confidence!
Yeah, that's because they've been primarily a R&D company, which our largely fueled by speculation and not by financial condition. However, once we turn profitable and our products begin to saturate the market, this will all change. I have the advanced package w/ real-time charting. I recommend it.
