First Liberty Power Further Progress Towards Fencemaker Production
LAS VEGAS, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- First Liberty Power Corp. (OTCQB: FLPC), an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on bringing to market "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, is pleased to announce additional progress towards achieving the goal of near term mining on the Fencemaker property.
This week's Pathways of Progress update has First Liberty Power's partner at Fencemaker, James Vogan, Director of Stockpile Reserves LLC (SRL), initiating the transition of the Fencemaker property's Notice of Intent to a Plan of Operations as required by the federal U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This is a crucial step towards launching the mining operation early this summer.
Mr. Vogan explained, "Reclamation work at the site from the drilling program last summer is nearly completed, pending final inspection. Together with the recent completion of our next stage funding, and upon approval of the Plan of Operations, we will then be in a position to bring in Small Mine Development (SMD - www.undergroundmining.com) as early as the 2nd week of May to begin the process of securing the existing mine adit and drift – the precursor step for undertaking underground mining activities. Starting today, our emphasis will be on implementing the Plan of Operations with the BLM to ensure all safety as well as other requirements are in full compliance."
Bob Reynolds, FLPC VP Operation concluded, "First Liberty and SRL continue to work closely to identify the necessary work requirements as well as finalize the timetables and costs, with all energies are directed this week towards initiating mining activities at Fencemaker. With the closing today of our one half million financing, the Company and its shareholders are one step closer to that first blast of stibnite (Antimony) ore."
First Liberty Power will continue to use its Pathways of Progress program to inform and update on all operational advances on our mining and financial progress.

Elite Pharmaceuticals Awarded Second U.S. Patent for Abuse Resistant Drug Formulation
Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Elite" or the "Company") (OTCBB:ELTP) today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 8,425,933 entitled "Abuse-Resistant Oral Dosage Forms and Method of Use Thereof" by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This is the second issued U.S. patent covering Elite's abuse resistant technology for opioid products. Elite has additional patents pending in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
"We are pleased to receive this second abuse resistant patent. The recent guidances and actions by the FDA related to extended release opioids and specifically oxycodone demonstrates the FDA support for abuse resistant technologies. Opioid products incorporating abuse resistant technologies have become a public health priority and these recent actions appear to be a major step towards the FDA eventually requiring that all extended release opioids utilize these technologies. This validates our approach and we believe substantially increases the value of our intellectual property and the abuse resistant products in our pipeline," said Jerry Treppel, Elite's Chairman and CEO.
About Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. develops oral sustained and controlled release products. Elite's strategy includes assisting partner companies in the life cycle management of products to improve off-patent drug products and developing generic versions of controlled release drug products with high barriers to entry.

NeoStem: A Simple Look At Regenerative Medicine
Apr 25 2013, 11:50 | 5 comments | about: NBS
Disclosure: I am long NBS. (More...)
If your leaky roof needed repairing, would you use old dried up shingles? Of course not. You'd get brand new materials compatible with the old stuff. Take that principle and apply it to regenerative medicine, and you have a rough idea of what a biotech company called NeoStem (NBS) is up to.
The company calls it cell therapy, but think of it as tissue repair, replacing bad cells with good cells. Imagine Uncle Bob having better vision because his macular degeneration was reversed, or Aunt Millie having a few more years because she bounced back from her radiation treatments enough to beat cancer.
The idea is simple. Supply a patient with massive amounts of friendly, unrejectable, and replenishable cells, which originated in their own body. These "autologous" cells are created then furnished to patients as needed. NeoStem is poised to fully implement this model.
At a glance NeoStem might look like a biotech preoccupied with research. But a closer look reveals big plans. NeoStem has been quietly completing a series of acquisitions that will give the company some very impressive products, plus the pipeline to deliver them.
Take Progenitor Cell Therapy (PCT), a manufacturer with lab facilities in New Jersey and California. Now a wholly owned NeoStem subsidiary, PCT has had significant revenue growth over the last several quarters with an A-list clientele that has chosen them for their contract manufacturing needs. PCT had revenues of $8 million for the year ended Dec 31st 2012, representing an increase of 46% YOY. NeoStem has already announced new client agreements earlier this year, so further growth of this division is expected going forward.
Want more proof of big plans? Try the two-year research grant from the National Institutes Of Health's NIAID division (National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases) just delivered. This grant recognizes the potential value of regenerative cell therapy, and specifically, the promise of NeoStem's VSELs ("very small embryonic-like" stem cells) as a countermeasure to radiological damage. Simply put, cancer survivability may soon increase dramatically once recovery from radiation therapy is made easier. There's even a potential application for gum disease. According to Dr. Robin L. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NeoStem, the company plans to file an IND (investigational new drug) with the FDA in late 2013 or early 2014 in hopes of initiating a NIH-funded human clinical study treating periodontitis with VSELs.
"VSELs might be an ideal cell therapy," says Dr. Denis Rodgerson, Director Of Stem Cell Science at NeoStem, "to regenerate the body's immune system and repair other tissues damaged by radiation exposure. Early studies show VSELs are resistant to lethal radiation, which destroys other immune system-restoring stem cells in the body."
"Those exposed to acute high-dose radiation," Rodgerson continues, "have compromised immune systems such that the virulence and infectivity of biological agents is dramatically increased. Death can occur within one to six weeks following radiation exposure. Currently there is only one intervention that saves a fatally irradiated person - a rescue through stem cell transplantation." NeoStem has received multiple research and funding grants of over $4 million dollars to continue development of this technology. These grants assist in keeping the company's cash reserves high and allows for continued progress.
The company's Amorcyte subsidiary is in the midst of a phase 2 trial of a promising heart-healer called AMR-001, which also utilizes autologous cells, but actually injects them directly into the heart in the critical days after a heart attack when tissue is still raw. The costs associated with heart disease are staggering, according to the American Heart Association the current medical cost associated with cardiovascular disease is $273 billion and that number is expected to triple over the next 20 years.
NeoStem's been shaping up its balance sheet, too. Last year the company sold its half interest in China's Suzhou Erye pharmaceutical division. The company board of directors recently got a star in Stephen Potter, formerly of Osiris Therapeutics, the first company to have an approved cell therapy product. His presence speaks volumes about NeoStem's chances of success.
"A decade ago everything was about the future promise of what cells could do," Potter states. "Now there are thousands of clinical investigations and trials."
The month of April 2013 has been quite eventful, perhaps will be the "watershed" for the upcoming year. NeoStem has made the rounds of some high-profile industry events such as the Cancer Immunology Conference in Washington and the Tenth Stem Cell Summit in Boston.
And then there's the Vatican. The Roman Catholic Church has embraced autologous stem cell production, as an ethical alternative to the morally challenged embryonic variety. They've reconsidered antiquated views, and now they're partnering with NeoStem.
Monsignor Tomasz Trafny, who heads up a newly formed Vatican body called the Science and Faith Foundation, just hosted the Second International Vatican Adult Stem Cell Conference in Rome with 2012 Nobel Prize Winner Dr. John Gurdon as keynote speaker. A CNN headline summed up the effort, "Vatican Seeks To Rebrand Its Relationship With Science."
"This unusual marriage of church and biotech," wrote CNN s Florence Davey-Attlee, "is a targeted public affairs initiative. The Vatican aims to use the partnership to show people there is an alternative to embryonic stem cell research - which it vehemently opposes - that doesn't involve the destruction of human embryos."
The Vatican has invested a million dollars in this collaborative effort, which is a huge endorsement that could blow away clouds of doubt in cultures unsure about cell therapy. This could be a worldwide stamp of approval that could put NeoStem's lab savvy into hospitals and clinics all over the globe. Monsignor Trafny keeps the focus on ethics and the advancement of science for the benefit of mankind, not dollars.
"We had a very tough time trying to find who would be our partner and meet our requirements," said the Monsignor. "We were looking for companies and institutions who had never been involved in embryonic stem cells and who have very clear statements on their work."
"Secondly," Trafny continues, "we looked for someone who would share knowledge with us and give us access to their labs and be trained by their experts. The third part, which is important, is that we looked for someone
who was interested in the cultural issues. NeoStem met all of our needs."
By "cultural issues" Trafny, of course, means the dynamic between Church and public, and the Vatican's ability to shift credibly to a pro-science stance.
"We want people to know," Trafny clarified, "that the Church is supporting research AND science and that they (Catholics) don't need to make a choice."
If NeoStem's business model succeeds, countless lives could be saved and improved. Within several years physicians could be e-mailing PCT for a new batch of John or Jane Doe's cells, then having them infused in that same doctor's office the very next day.
NeoStem is set up nicely for success, however the company is still in the development stages of its treatments that offer the largest potential returns to investors. Certain risk factors are present and will remain an issue in the near term. Clinical trials take time and a large capital investment, and although data has been positive thus far, it does not mean that the FDA will grant final approval. Investors need to adequately weigh their risk tolerance prior to the purchase of any equity.

Anything Technologies Media Focuses On Major Medical Marijuana Opportunity for 2013
US Medical Marijuana Sales could top $1.5B in 2013, Cannabis Revenues Could Quadruple by 2018
FOLSOM, CA, April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Anything Technologies Media, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EXMT) today announced that the company is shifting its focus to the exploding Medical Marijuana opportunity in 2013 and beyond. The company will still continue to do manufacturing for a wide variety of media and other products, but looks to devote most of its efforts to the Marijuana Industry.

According to MMJ Business Daily retail medical cannabis sales in the United States could hit an estimated $1.3 billion-$1.5 billion in 2013, growing 10-15% from last year as the industry recovers from widespread turmoil.
The long-term future appears even brighter: The legalization of marijuana for adult use in Colorado and Washington - coupled with the emergence of several new markets and continued overall growth on the medical side - could boost overall state-legal cannabis sales to $3 billion in 2014 and $6 billion by 2018.
ATM with its acquisition of R-Quest Hydroponics and joint venture with Whole Earth Systems looks to acquire more companies that support the Medical Marijuana industry. The company is currently negotiating to acquire a fertilizer company to supply growers in the medical marijuana industry.
Dozens of MMJ centers are on track to open in Arizona - generating tens of millions of dollars in revenues this year - while states such as New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont as well as Washington DC are moving forward with their dispensary programs. The Colorado, Oregon and Washington State markets also are expected to grow, and there could be an MMJ revival in several California cities such as San Diego and San Francisco.
In 2014, the emergence of cannabis retail stores in Colorado and Washington could generate roughly $1 billion in state-legal cannabis sales during the first full year of operation. The markets will eventually be much bigger, but it could take time for the recreational marijuana industry in those two states to reach its near-term potential, in part because officials might look to prevent rapid growth (Colorado and Washington are still crafting regulations). Several other states are expected to pass medical or recreational cannabis laws this year, which will further fuel growth in 2014.
R-Quest Hydroponics, Inc., is a Hardware and Software Manufacturing Company with its headquarters in Placerville, California. R-Quest Hydroponics, Inc has developed the new Environmental Master Controller EMC-5000 system, which is able to provide constant management for grow room facilities for indoor gardens. The EMC-5000 was developed so that growers can rest easy with the confidence that their crop is in excellent hands. The EMC-5000 is able to regulate and control all aspects of an indoor grow system, including Light cycles to optimize growth, Fans, Nutrient pumps, and CO2 level controls to help manage grow rooms. To see more information on the EMC-5000 go to www.r-questhydro.com .
