I just submitted a request for a segment on the benefits of stem cell research on the Oprah show. If you are interested in submitting a request, here is the link...

I'm not a big Suze Orman fan... but it's worth watching. All we need now is Oprah to endorse it and we fly as she has a HUGE following.

I didn't think you would be able to provide anything constructive.
Still waiting patiently...
Please show me what you have contributed to this board. I already know that I have done my DD on this company. What do you have to offer us?

NEWS... Obama to lift ban on stem cell research soon:
http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE51E12220090215
After reading the document a few times I have a better understanding of what they are proposing. At the present time they (CBAI) are not issuing the shares they are just authorizing the shares. This doesn't necessarily mean they are going to dilute the stock with all of the shares. They will issue the shares on a as needed basis...acquisitions, lowering debt, etc. I think we are all good. There are now authorized shares that are available to be issued if any of these issues arise.

If it makes anyone feel better... my whole portfolio is red. Nothing to worry about until I sell :)

The securities to which this Schedule relates (the “Securities”) are owned by certain investment limited partnerships, including EGP, and other client accounts, for which ECM serves as general partner and/or investment manager. ECM, as EGP’s and those other investment limited partnerships’ and client accounts’ general partner and/or investment manager, and Mitchell S. Levine, as managing member and majority owner of ECM, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own the Securities owned by EGP and such other investment limited partnerships and client accounts for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.
Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that ECM or Mr. Levine is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of ECM and Mr. Levine disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.
Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2, 3 and 4 was derived from the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding as of November 10, 2008 was 309,474,243 shares.

Great article. Get to work Obama and overturn Bush's restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.

I think we have a good run ahead of us once the stimulus package is approved and the ban is lifted from embryonic stem cell research.

Very strange trading going on here in an up market.
Nice shake. Picked up another 200k @ .0153. Go CBAI!!!
