One Million Boxes of Over-the-Counter Smoking Cessation Products Sold in January 2008
2/4/2008
More than 10 years of proven safety with NicoDerm(R) CQ(R), Nicorette(R) and Commit(R)
PITTSBURGH, Feb 04, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) Consumer Healthcare today announced that it sold one million boxes of smoking cessation products in January 2008, which includes NicoDerm CQ patches, Nicorette gum, and Commit lozenges. The New Year is the most popular time for smokers to try and quit, unfortunately, many of them fail without the proper tools and support. With more than 44 million smokers in this country, people need as many safe and effective options as possible to help them quit.
Therapeutic nicotine products, including NicoDerm CQ, can double a smoker's chances of quitting and remain smoke-free long-term (6 months and longer). In fact, 45 percent of smokers using NicoDerm CQ were smoke-free at the end of 10 weeks (vs. 18% on placebo, based on a study employing a group and individual behavioral support programs).
NicoDerm CQ allows smokers to wean off nicotine gradually and safely. The product is formulated with a patented SmartControl technology to control the release of nicotine and help target cravings. Smokers often experience withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, mood depression, and nervousness, as well as nicotine cravings, when they abruptly quit smoking. The FDA- approved labeling for NicoDerm CQ and other therapeutic nicotine products states that it reduces these withdrawal symptoms. SmartControl technology ensures that a smoker receive a steady flow of nicotine for 16 or 24 hours (depending on how long a smoker wears the NicoDerm CQ patch). This means the smoker has a continuous defense to fight the nicotine cravings.
Since 1996, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare's family of over-the- counter smoking cessation products, NicoDerm CQ patch, Nicorette gum and Commit lozenge, and personalized counseling and support resources have helped more than five million smokers quit smoking. Data from more than 100 clinical trials among more than 35,000 people have established the safety and efficacy profile of therapeutic nicotine for successful smoking cessation. These products are available without a doctor's prescription, in flexible dosing options at more than 35,000 retail outlets across the country.
"We are thrilled to see so many people trying to get their new year started in a healthy way by quitting smoking. But we know for some people, this is not an easy addiction to break, and we want to remind them of the safe options to wean them off of nicotine -- like NicoDerm CQ -- which are easily available to help support their quit attempts," said Bill Slivka, Vice President Smoking Control, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare.
To encourage people to quit smoking for the rest of 2008, GSK Consumer Healthcare is offering a free NicoDerm CQ placebo patch or a 20-count box of Nicorette Cinnamon Surge to consumers. The placebo patch is available online at www.NicodermCQ.com. It is intended to show smokers that the NicoDerm CQ patch is easy to use, comfortable and discrete. Nicorette gum is available by calling 1-800-NICORETTE. These offers will help smokers decide whether NicoDerm CQ or Nicorette is the right option for their quit attempt.
Quitting smoking is the most important step smokers can take to improve their health -- and it's also one of the most difficult. By developing innovative new products and support systems to improve the quit experience, GSK Consumer Healthcare is working to inspire and enable every smoker to quit.
About NicoDerm CQ
NicoDerm CQ is the best-selling smoking cessation patch in history and has helped millions of smokers quit. It is also the number one doctor-recommended patch to quit smoking. When used as directed, NicoDerm CQ allows a smoker to gradually adjust to having less nicotine until eventually he doesn't need any at all. NicoDerm CQ step-down therapy is available in three strengths, 7mg, 14mg and 21 mg.

Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WNBD.PK ) (Thu, January 31st, 2008, 12:51pm ET) Winning Brands Corporation (www.WinningBrands.ca) reports that all 3 of its leading eco-oriented product groups will be distributed to the marine sector in Canada by Hutchings Marine Products Ltd. (www.hutchingsmarine.com). Hutchings Marine is one of the best known distributors to this sector in the country and will add their industry experience for the 2008 roll-out of the Winning Brands products to marinas in 2008. Hutchings Marine will feature the Winning Brands products at their March 2008 annual industry show and will add the products to their 2008 catalogue. The development is significant for Winning Brands because boaters, cottagers, campers and other outdoor enthusiasts will gain access to all three products closer to where the outdoor activities take place, not only in city stores prior to departure. Production of the Winning Brands products will take place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facilities of Surefil, LLC.
Tracy Mulhall, Account Manager with Winning Brands Corporation, points out that this market sector is important for several reasons. "Most cottagers and boaters today aware of the environmental impact of their choices. We have the opportunity to become the first choice in cleaning by a new generation of recreational lifestyle consumers. If we're trusted for use in the outdoors where people are in touch with nature, then this trust will return back home into the cities too," says Mulhall. "It also goes to show that even one of the oldest distributors in this sector can have the newest ideas!" she concludes.

Cray to Resell Moab Cluster Suite from Cluster Resources
2/4/2008
PROVO, Utah, Feb 04, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Cluster Resources, a leading provider of HPC resource management and scheduling software, today announced an agreement that will establish Cray Inc. as an official reseller of the Moab(R) cluster, grid, data center and adaptive computing products.
"We are pleased to partner with Cluster Resources to offer the Moab Cluster Suite because it complements our current offerings and adds additional value for Cray customers in managing their workload environment," said Jan Silverman, senior vice president of business development and strategy for Cray. "Moab Cluster Suite enhances Cray's goal of delivering superior performance and system efficiency."
"Moab's optimization capabilities help deliver on performance goals and do so in a way that delivers more cycles to the organizations and projects that need it most," said Michael Jackson, president of Cluster Resources. "Recently, it is was very rewarding to watch yet another delighted customer log in to their system and point out with a smile that they were regularly attaining 97.5 to 99.5 percent utilization with Moab."
Moab Cluster Suite(R) is a policy-based intelligence engine that integrates scheduling, managing, monitoring and reporting of cluster workloads. It integrates with a resource manager (e.g. TORQUE, PBS Professional, LSF, etc.) to generate maximum job throughput and to guarantee service levels are met. Currently Moab optimizes a number of the largest Cray supercomputers, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory's more than 23,000 CPU core system, as well as an approximately 26,000 CPU core system and a nearly 20,000 CPU core system at other leading labs. Moab yields higher performance because it is optimized to handle multiple layers of Cray XT systems' unique environment, rather than just one.
The TORQUE Resource Manager provided with the Moab Cluster Suite provides control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes. It is an open-source, community effort based on the original PBS* project, with significant advances in the areas of scalability, fault tolerance and feature extensions.
Moab integrates Cray's monitoring and management toolset with its scheduling and reservation engine for a holistically optimized solution. Cray customers therefore receive tangible benefits such as the ability to immediately respond to various failures, run multiple jobs on a single node, create node sets and node attributes and apply jobs and reservations to these node sets/attributes or to a specified node list.
"Moab can add this same value to other resource managers, such as PBS Professional, LSF, SLURM, etc.," said Michael Jackson, president of Cluster Resources. "This lets customers get the greatest job throughput and ROI out of their system, while reducing the total cost of ownership due to improved management."
Moab can also unify management between heterogeneous cluster environments, such as consolidating queuing and administration, to let sites tightly integrate new Cray acquisitions with legacy hardware.
Current and prospective Cray customers are invited to contact their Cray representative or Cluster Resources directly at info@clusterresources.com or by calling +1-801-717-3724, for more information.

Material Technologies Holds First Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor Training for Private Inspection Firms
Last update: 7:00 a.m. EST Feb. 4, 2008
LOS ANGELES, Feb 04, 2008 -- Material Technologies, Inc. held its first 4-day training for private inspection firms last week. Company officers and inspectors attended a four-day training in St. George, UT last week to learn how to implement an EFS inspection, which includes: receipt of contract, field inspection, collection and analysis of the data, and the preparation of a report. Attendees participated in 3 days of classroom and laboratory training with a final day of written and practical testing on day 4.
Conventional bridge inspections are mostly visual, often done by inspectors using binoculars from a distance. This is not an adequate means of inspection, since 90 percent or more of the fatigue cracks are completely missed with visual inspection alone, according to the Federal Highway Administration. The fifty states of the U.S. as a whole have 190,000 metal bridges, with 39,000 structurally deficient and 35,000 functionally obsolete.
MATECH's EFS is being used by states in three different ways -- as a means of prioritizing already limited repair and rehabilitation funds, as a traditional inspection tool since EFS finds cracks smaller than other technologies which leads to less expensive repairs, and as a repair/retrofit verification device.
The firms which attended the training did so at their own costs in order to provide the EFS inspections to their existing clients in the near future. One official stated, "This technology will revolutionize the way we view bridge management and inspections." Companies will be licensing the technology from MATECH in order to execute contracts across the U.S.
Robert M. Bernstein, MATECH's CEO, says, "We are very pleased to be partnering with these companies in order to bring this indispensable technology to bridge owners. Already, these engineers have come up with other uses for the technology with their existing clients. We are all very excited about the prospects."
About Material Technologies, Inc.
MATECH is an engineering, research and development company specializing in technologies to measure microscopic fractures and flaws in metal structures and monitor metal fatigue in real time. The company's leading edge metal fatigue detection, measurement and monitoring solutions can accurately test the integrity of metal structures and equipment including bridges, railroads, airplanes, ships, cranes, power plants, mining equipment, piping systems and heavy iron.
MATECH owns the only nondestructive testing technology able to find growing cracks as minute as 0.01 inches. MATECH has exclusive rights to seven patents along with $8.3 million in already completed contracts from the U.S. Government for research, testing and validation of its innovative solutions.

Lucas Energy Announces Initial Production Rate At the Perkins Oil Unit No.1 Well
Monday February 4, 8:30 am ET HOUSTON, Feb. 4, 2008 - Lucas Energy, Inc. a U.S. based independent oil and gas company, today announced an initial production rate for the Perkins Oil Unit No.1 well, Pilgrim (Austin Chalk) Field, Gonzales County, Texas. The initial production was reported to the state as 73 BOPD, 3 BWPD, and 30 MCF of gas per day.
This follows the Company's initial announcement on January 3, 2008 of the new lateral, which was drilled from the plugged back depth of 8,410 feet to a new total depth (TD) of 11,340 feet. The vertical depth from surface at TD is 8,541 feet. The new lateral was drilled on new leases recently acquired from landowners in the area.
The Perkins Oil Unit No.1 well was first drilled in 1991 by Tana Oil & Gas Corporation. The original lateral was drilled to the southwest and made nearly 84,000 bbls of oil before being plugged back. The new lateral is to the northwest in a new drilling unit with new leases.
William Sawyer, COO of Lucas Energy Inc., commented, ''This is the third successful well we have brought on line in a series of ten wells planned in the area. We are very pleased with our progress to date and how quickly we have been able to get this well on line to start generating revenue. We believe our meticulous and standardized process enables us to quickly restore oil production as well as increase production yield which should result in continued improvements on a per well basis.'' The planned drilling program continues with the movement of Lucas' drilling rig to well #4.
