MCEL - Millennium Cell and Jadoo Power Awarded Program to Develop Mobile Medical Power Source for U.S. Air Force
Thursday March 29, 9:00 am ET
- Fuel cell based power source to demonstrate extended military medical airlift capabilities -
EATONTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Millennium Cell Inc. (NASDAQ: MCEL - News), a leading developer of hydrogen battery technology, today announced that it has been awarded a contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory ("AFRL") to develop with its partner Jadoo Power a 300 watt power system that provides 12 hours of runtime for use as a long endurance power supply for U.S. Air Force aeromedical evacuation flights. The combination of Jadoo Power's fuel cells and N-Stor interface technology with Millennium Cell's Hydrogen on Demand® fuel technology creates a power system which can address critical power source needs that cannot be achieved with traditional battery technologies. The program will culminate in the fourth quarter of 2007 with a demonstration of a fuel cell system capable of powering the Air Force's Patient Support Pallet, which is designed to improve the survivability of soldiers being evacuated from the battlefield to advanced medical facilities.
Jadoo Power has been a licensee of Millennium Cell's technology since February 2006. The two companies are actively developing Hydrogen on Demand® fuel canisters for use with Jadoo Power's N-Gen Fuel Cell Power units and XRT Extended Runtime accessories for emergency response and other industrial and military uses. The XRT uses six metal hydride canisters for hydrogen fuel storage today, which weigh approximately 30 total pounds. With the new chemical hydride-based fuel canister jointly developed by Millennium Cell, the XRT is expected to deliver the same runtime with approximately half the fuel canister weight.
Millennium Cell is currently engaged on multiple programs with AFRL focused on the development of products which utilize Millennium Cell's technology for a wide range of applications including soldier power and unmanned aerial vehicles.
"We are very pleased to get the opportunity to work on a system that has the potential to save lives by extending the mobile medical capabilities of the U.S. military," said Adam Briggs, President. "This mission critical requirement effectively illustrates an application for which fuel cell systems deliver a significant value."
About Millennium Cell
Millennium Cell develops hydrogen battery technology through a patented chemical process that safely stores and delivers hydrogen energy to power portable devices. The borohydride-based technology can be scaled to fit any application requiring high energy density for a long run time in a compact space. The Company is working with market partners to meet demand for its patented process in four areas: military, medical, industrial and consumer electronics. For more information, visit http://millenniumcell.com.

CORRECTION: CORRECTION: Asia Properties, Inc. Begins Financial Reporting News Releases (Press Release)
Bellingham, WA, Mar 29, 2007 (Pink Sheets News Service) — BELLINGHAM, WA., March 29, Asia Properties, Inc. or "API" (Pink Sheets:ASPZ) a developer of resorts and prime real estate in Thailand and Southeast Asia, announced today it is in the process of bringing all of the Company's financial statements up-to-date with the intention of becoming a fully reporting full disclosure issuer. The audited financial statements now posted on pinksheets.com are the first of a number of such public releases.
Asia Properties, Inc. was established to invest in resorts and prime real estate in Thailand and Southeast Asia. Asia Properties currently operates as the only listed U.S. public company focusing on S.E. Asian real estate investments, where investors can invest in Asian real estate and hold the investment in the form of a security trading on a U.S. securities market. API is a Nevada corporation and trades on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "ASPZ." There are currently 9,856,778 fully diluted shares consisting of 3,213,601 free trading and 6,643,177 restricted. The transfer agent is Computershare, Inc. of Golden, Colorado.
Over the past year, the company has made progress toward fulfilling a number of key moves toward the realization of its business goals. In May, 2006 API hired Ms. Shananporn Lerlertkul (Jill) as its Sales Manager. Ms. Lerlertkul is responsible for managing all the sales functions for the company and its subsidiaries. Further, she is responsible for International marketing promotions and sales campaigns, magazine and internet ads, and for redesigning API's web site into a marketing and sales site. Ms. Lerlertkul is based out of the Company's Phuket, Thailand office. Ms. Lerlertkul, a Thai citizen, went to high school in the USA and received her MBA from the London School of Business Administration.
In late February, 2007 API, announced that Mergent's Editorial Board (formerly Moody's) had approved API for a listing in Mergent Manuals and News Reports(tm). This listing helps API toward achieving its goal of full public disclosure. The Company's corporate profile, which includes descriptive text data as well as news and financial statements, is continuously accessible via Mergent's online and print products.
As part of Mergent's listing services, the new description is highlighted separately on www.mergent.com with an active hyperlink back to API's website.
The Mergent Industrial Manual and News Reports(tm) is a recognized securities manual in 38 states for purposes of Blue Sky Manual Exemption. First published in 1918, and formerly known as Moody's(tm) Manuals and News Reports, the publication was rebranded as Mergent Manuals and News Reports when Mergent, Inc. acquired Moody's(tm) Financial Information Services division in 1998. API's listing will aid the brokerage community in making a market for the company's stock. However, it is recommended that brokers confirm with their compliance/legal department concerning "Blue Sky" laws in specific states and other regulatory laws that might affect them.
In March of 2007, API reported the title transfer of fourteen homes, since the beginning of the year, in the Phase I section of the Company's Baan Naiyang Resort in Phuket, Thailand. The Baan Naiyang Resort subdivision offers five styles of homes, all of which are designed to blend traditional Thai architecture with a contemporary Balinese look. Home sizes vary from 1,582 sq. ft.(147 sq.m.) to 3,337 sq. ft. (310 sq.m.) and land parcels sizes are up to 5,167 sq. ft. (480 sq.m.) with prices starting from US$112,000.00 up to US$260,000.00
Just 10 minutes South of Phuket airport, Baan Naiyang Resort, is an international gated community located near the Naiyang beach. The site borders a national forest and is framed by a tropical jungle with rolling green hills nearby. As no building or development is allowed on national forest land, the resort will always retain its natural surroundings.
API appointed My Trusted House, a leading international property marketing company, to market its Baan Naiyang Resort subdivision.

Court Case May Impact Shareholder Suits
Wednesday March 28, 3:27 am ET
By Marcy Gordon, AP Business Writer
Case Before Supreme Court Wednesday Could Make It Harder for Shareholders to Win Suits
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Echoes of the 2002 business scandals reverberate through a case before the Supreme Court that could make it tougher for shareholders to win lawsuits against public companies.
It also pits the Bush administration and corporate America against public pension funds, investor advocates and 32 states and territories.
At stake: untold billions of dollars in shareholders' suits against corporations, executives and directors for alleged fraud.
"It would put a padlock on the courthouse doors for shareholders," said Chris Mather, a spokeswoman for the American Association of Justice, a group representing trial lawyers.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has come into the case on the side of the Bush Justice Department and business interests, a move that prompted criticism from shareholder advocates who questioned the market watchdog agency's commitment to investor protection. SEC Chairman Christopher Cox has insisted that the agency's stance is in the best interest of investors because it seeks to restrict what he calls "fraudulent lawsuits."
Worthy suits against companies by investors "are an essential supplement" to the government's prosecutions, the Justice Department and the SEC say in their brief filed in the case.
At the same time, they say, "Congress has recognized a potential for such actions to be abused in ways that impose substantial costs on companies that have fully complied with the applicable laws. The United States has a strong interest in seeing that the principles applied in private actions promote the purposes of the securities laws."
The opposing sides were making their case before the high court Wednesday, at a time when business interests are pushing for restraints on class-action suits against companies and executives. They contend that laws and rules that came in response to the wave of corporate scandals nearly five years ago -- Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc. and the rest -- are onerous and costly and hurt the competitiveness of U.S. financial markets.
Shareholders have received billions of dollars in suits against those companies and others, which also have been sued by the SEC.
The court will decide the case, Tellabs Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights Ltd., later this year. It sits atop a pyramid of other closely watched cases involving class-action securities litigation by shareholders seeking damages.
On Monday, for example, the Supreme Court agreed to consider whether shareholders of companies that commit securities fraud should be able to sue Wall Street investment banks, lawyers, auditors and others that allegedly participated in the fraud.
And Tuesday, the court heard arguments in a case stemming from a suit by a group of shareholders seeking damages from 16 investment banks. The shareholders charged that the banks violated antitrust laws in the late 1990s by conspiring to artificially inflate the prices of newly issued shares in nearly 900 companies that went public.
The Tellabs case calls on the Supreme Court to resolve a split among federal appeals courts over how stringent a legal standard shareholders must meet in showing an intent to deceive on the part of companies or executives.
The Justice Department and the SEC say their brief supports the stricter standard upheld by the greatest number of appeals courts, and that a 1995 law governing securities litigation requires shareholders to demonstrate "a high likelihood" of intent to deceive.
Tellabs, a manufacturer of fiber optic equipment, was sued by shareholders over statements made in 2001 by its then-chief executive about its sales that turned out to be false. Shareholders lost millions when the stock price dropped after Tellabs corrected the CEO's statements.
A number of public employee pension funds from several states, with an estimated $1 trillion in assets, intervened in the case in support of the Tellabs shareholders, as did the 32 states and territories and state securities regulators.
On the other side, with the government, are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street's biggest lobbying group.
The 32 states and territories are Alaska, American Samoa, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia.
The case is Tellabs Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights Ltd., No. 06-484.

DKSC - Dakshidin Corporation Enters Renewable and Sustainable Energy Markets
Friday March 23, 10:13 am ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 23, 2007 -- Dakshidin Corporation (Other OTC:DKSC.PK - News) has completed the purchase of RESTEC International Inc., owner of the world's most powerful water pumping windmill.
RESTEC windmills, through an innovative design, pump more water at a lower cost, at any depth, in any wind speed than any other windmill in the world. This design enables the Company to pump other fluids such as crude oil, thus potentially opening major markets for Dakshidin.
The RESTEC windmill, although primarily used to draw water, can in addition purify water, desalinate water, aerate water, push water to distances in excess of 10 kilometers, produce direct mechanical energy and generate electricity.
Dakshidin intends to distribute windmills around the world to provide fresh, pure water for drinking and irrigation -- solely by using the available wind," stated Nick Laroche, President and CEO of Dakshidin Corporation. "In fact, the RESTEC windmill works in wind speeds as low as 4 MPH to provide coverage to over 90% of the globe."
The installation of the Prescott, Arizona windmill will be filmed and available for viewing on our website. RESTEC will also be selecting distributors for the windmills in the U.S., Africa, Italy and the Caribbean during the next few weeks and plans to have over 25 distributors by the end of the third quarter 2007.
Between 1860 and 1930, there were 6.2 million water-pumping windmills in the western United States, when the GNP was 45% agriculture and the population was about 25 million. The number of windmills declined after 1930 as government-subsidized electricity was distributed in the West.
In Developing Countries that have 100 times the pre-1930 U.S. population, GNPs of more than 80% agriculture and no low wind-speed windmills, the Windmill potential is virtually unlimited. There are 215 countries in the UN Atlas and each country could support a Joint Venture and produce more than 100 windmills annually. This represents a market potential in the millions.
Dakshidin Corporation is focusing primarily on acquiring companies in the renewable and sustainable energy markets and welcomes all companies to send us their business plans for evaluation.
In compliance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, DKSC notes that statements contained in this announcement that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements that are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, DKSC wishes to caution readers of this announcement that its future actual results may differ materially from those that any forward-looking statements may imply. There is no assurance the above-described events will be completed. There can be no assurance of the ability of the company to achieve sales goals, obtain contracts or financing, consummate acquisitions or achieve profitability in the future. The above and additional factors are discussed in detail in the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These may be viewed at www.sec.gov and many other Web sites without charge.

FFBU - Fit For Business Announces the Closing of the Acquisition of Footfridge Pty Ltd.
Friday March 23, 9:41 am ET
NEW YORK and BRISBANE, Australia, March 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Fit For Business International Inc. (OTC BB:FFBU.OB - News) announces the closing of the acquisition of Footfridge Pty Ltd. on March 23, 2007. The transaction was completed in a deal valued at US$1,000,000 in cash and shares. Footfridge Pty Ltd. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Fit For Business. The deal gives Fit For Business the patent held by Footfridge for its coolant filled innersoles.
The patented innersoles are filled with a paste which cools and insulates the foot. The innersole was originally developed for workers who wear steel toe boots. Steel toe boots are warmer than other shoes and wearers may have foot problems associated with the elevated temperature within the boot. Product development has taken seven years and countless product revisions to get the product right.
The innersole will be marketed through infomercials and other advertising mediums to anybody that may have tired, sore, or aching feet. Test marketing has already been completed and the selected campaign will commence as soon as possible.
``This acquisition will provide a tremendous boost for the sales and distribution of the innersoles,'' said Peter O'Brien, inventor. ``We are looking forward to having support for our new product development in the medical supply industry and the horse racing industry.''
Although the innersoles were not developed for it, they were found to provide relief to diabetics with poor circulation and sore feet. Further testing by the American Diabetic Association showed improved circulation and a reduction in foot temperature. The innersoles are now approved to be sold as a therapeutic aid to diabetics. This opens up a new market as there are more than 40 million diabetics in America alone.
``This acquisition has changed the dynamics of Fit For Business and we are looking forward to developing new markets,'' said Mark Poulsen, CEO.
About Fit For Business Inc.
Fit For Business International Inc. (OTC BB:FFBU.OB - News) is a corporate health company providing a wide range of corporate wellness programs and products. The programs incorporate nutritional supplements, physical activity programs with monitoring and reporting, all which support a healthy workforce. The results help the profits of each company by proactively dealing with the increasing epidemic of poor health, which equates to increased absenteeism and lower levels of productivity. Fit For Business has invested to qualify for the ISO 9001:2000 standards to ensure the highest quality of service for its programs.

Friday March 16, 6:29 am ET
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB:UPDA - News; FWB:UP1)(BCN:UP1)(GER:UP1)(MUN:UP1)(STU:UP1), has entered into an agreement with Continental Fuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CNDI - News) to sell its trading and storage subsidiaries for $7.5 million.
The sales price, to be paid in cash and convertible debentures, represents a significant gain on UPDA's investment of approximately $1.25 million in the subsidiaries. The sale also represents an opportunity for UPDA to additionally enhance its shareholder value through an investment in Continental while utilizing the cash to be paid to continue to expand UPDA's exploration and production operations.
"With the pending acquisition of one million acres of coalbed methane leases in Kansas, UPDA has committed to a sharpened focus on exploration and production," said Chris McCauley, UPDA Vice President. In addition, we are very impressed with Continental's business plan and management. Continental is well positioned to take advantage of the relationships we have created in these subsidiaries and UPDA will benefit in the short term by the cash payment of $2.5 million required by the agreement and in the long term through the potential of its investment in Continental. We expect Continental to expand rapidly and successfully in the trading arena, a market that our experiences have convinced us has substantial possibilities. This transaction allows us to apply those experiences to monitor and assist in Continental's progress, to concentrate UPDA's resources on its core business and still to reap the rewards of both."
The Closing Date for the transaction has been scheduled for April 2, 2007.

Rubicon Financial Incorporated Announces Acquisition of Its First Financial Services Subsidiary
IRVINE, Calif., Mar 15, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rubicon Financial Incorporated (OTCBB:RBCF) today announced that on February 1, 2007 it closed on the acquisition of Rubicon Financial Insurance Services, Inc., RBCF's first financial service company acquisition.
Rubicon Insurance is a full service insurance agency offering personal and commercial lines, health and life insurance products to individuals and companies. Rubicon Insurance is currently licensed to do business in California and intends to expand to other states on the West Coast over the next two years.
"Clearly this acquisition marks a milestone in implementing and executing on our business model to become a diversified financial services company," stated RBCF CEO, Joe Mangiapane. "Rubicon Insurance is an important building block for the implementation of our business strategy of providing a bundled, single-source, financial services boutique."
Rubicon Insurance markets its services to other financial services companies by implementing the "Innovative Insurance Integration" (i3) marketing plan.
"By implementing the "i3" marketing approach, we hope to become the preferred outlet for insurance services for all of our referral partners; including the real estate and funding sector, individual tax accountants, tax attorneys, stockbrokers and investment banking firms," stated Todd Torneo, President of Rubicon Insurance.
With regards to the mortgage and real estate sector, Rubicon Insurance is able to provide new home buyers and clients refinancing loans with homeowner's, automobile and life insurance products.
When working with tax attorneys and tax accountants, Rubicon Insurance can implement life insurance and annuities that will compliment existing retirement plans and create tax advantages for their clients.
Rubicon Insurance currently partners with securities brokers to provide insurance products necessary for the broker to achieve their client's goals, such as term and universal life insurance, annuities, and long term care insurance.
Finally, investment banking firms can work with Rubicon Insurance to provide directors and officers insurance, errors and omissions insurance, and key man insurance for their corporate clientele.
Rubicon Insurance intends to integrate its insurance products into the services offered by these companies, to effectively bundle the two products together.
About the Acquisition:
The acquisition was accomplished through a reverse triangular merger among RBCF, a wholly owned subsidiary of RBCF, and Rubicon Insurance. The agreement and plan of merger provided that the subsidiary merged with and into Rubicon Insurance, with Rubicon Insurance as the surviving corporation. RBCF issued 50,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding securities of Rubicon Insurance. Upon the closing of the Merger, Rubicon Insurance became a wholly owned subsidiary of RBCF.
A copy of the Rubicon Insurance merger agreement was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2007, which is currently available through the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). This Form 8-K will be amended within 71 days of the completion of the merger to attach Rubicon Insurance's financial statements for the period from Inception (October 27, 2005) through December 31, 2006.
