PLNI SEMCO Chosen as Surfacing Vendor by Contractor for Apple Computer Japan Headquarters
Market Wire - January 23, 2006 8:30 AM (EDT)
LEXINGTON, KY, Jan 23, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) announced today that SEMCO Manufacturing, Inc. was chosen as a surfacing vendor by the contractor for Apple Computer Japan Headquarters showcase demo and reception area in Tokyo. Apple Computer Japan is located in a 51-story building in the Shinjuku sector of Tokyo. Plasticon International, Inc. recently completed the acquisition of SEMCO.
According to SEMCO Manufacturing, the company was chosen for the project because its environmentally responsible, dielectric, waterproof surface cement system offers unlimited creative freedom with design, texture and color and their surfacing solutions exceed Japanese industry environmental standards for indoor air quality. "Our innovative surfacing solutions require no waste disposal, and are distinguished in the surfacing industry by their versatility, durability and beauty," said Samel Sem, President and founder of SEMCO Manufacturing. "Most importantly, our unique surfacing solutions have a competitive advantage over other surfacing products in that they cross link chemically to virtually any material they are being bonded to, and reinforce the density of almost any surface, including concrete, wood, foam, metal, asphalt, rubber and tile of all types. We take pride in the fact that our products met Apple Computer Japan's stringent design requirements from both a creative and environmental standpoint. Apple Computer is known as one of the most image-savvy companies worldwide, and it speaks volumes that our products were selected by the contractor and approved in the selection of materials for the project."
According to Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc., "We are thrilled that SEMCO was chosen by the contractor as a surfacing vendor for the Apple Computer Japan showcase demo project. SEMCO fits perfectly into the Plasticon family of companies. Both Plasticon and SEMCO are green companies that have consistently used environmentally responsible manufacturing practices before it was fashionable. Both Plasticon and SEMCO are pioneers in their fields and offer unique benefits to the construction industry. We believe this is just the beginning of SEMCO's growth in the $100 billion+ surfacing marketplace. As an established leader in surfacing, we believe that SEMCO's products will continue to be chosen for high-profile projects worldwide, because they offer the most environmentally friendly, creative, versatile solutions in the surfacing industry today. The fact that SEMCO's advanced product lines cross link chemically with virtually any surface they are applied to distinguishes them from any other surfacing company in the marketplace. As we work with SEMCO to expand their marketing efforts, we believe that SEMCO will become the largest profit center for Plasticon International, Inc. in the years ahead."
SEMCO Manufacturing, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, since 1981, has provided their surfacing products to many of the city's most impressive showcase projects, including a number of 5-star luxury resorts. Their eclectic customer base also includes high-profile commercial, public and private clientele. Projects have ranged from critical government facilities (the flooring of the Pentagon) to elementary schools, community centers and many prominent parks and public works projects to the Bioshpere project, where the SEMCO team provided the materials for the creation of a lush, fully functioning indoor rainforest. SEMCO's product line is noted for its incredible durability which is why it is not only extensively used indoors, but also on heavily trafficked outdoor walkways, in extreme outdoor weather, freeze/thaw conditions, and in chlorinated pool water and on rugged exteriors. SEMCO Manufacturing has offices in the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
Plasticon's acquisition of SEMCO Manufacturing, Inc. has been completed, and is now awaiting SEC approval.

UALAQ Judge OKs United Reorganization Plan
Friday January 20, 12:23 pm ET
By Dave Carpenter, AP Business Writer
Judge Approves United Airlines' Reorganization Plan, Clearing Way for Co. to Exit Bankruptcy
CHICAGO (AP) -- United Airlines' reorganization plan won final approval by a judge Friday, clearing the way for the nation's second biggest carrier to come out of bankruptcy in less than two weeks.
The ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Eugene Wedoff, after remaining objections to United's reorganization plan were resolved this week, keeps United on a path to emerge from Chapter 11 on Feb. 1 after the largest and longest airline bankruptcy in history.
While the Elk Grove Village, Ill.-based carrier has kept flying throughout the bankruptcy proceedings, the United that exits bankruptcy will be much leaner than the cost-heavy one that began its restructuring on Dec. 9, 2002.
Parent company UAL Corp. has used the protection of federal bankruptcy law to trim $7 billion in annual costs, including two rounds of employee pay cuts; eliminate more than 25,000 jobs; dump its defined-benefit pensions and reduce its cost structure.
It also has shed more than 100 airplanes from its fleet, cut some U.S. flights and expanded internationally.
Once the 37-month restructuring is ended, the airline plans to spend more money this year on improvements, allocating $400 million for capital improvements such as more check-in kiosks, refurbished airplane interiors, upgraded computer systems and new ground equipment.

Business Editors / Medical Editors
MURRAY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2006--
'BII' designed to foster medical and other biological R&D in the
former Soviet Union by converting former biowarfare scientists to
productive peacetime activities
Grant Life Sciences Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GLIF) announced
today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dr.
Peter Sveshnikov and Dr. Vsevolod Kiselev of the Russian Republic, for
the in-licensing of certain of their technologies that are highly
complementary to Grants' antibody-based test for detecting cervical
cancer. The Sveshnikov/Kiselev technology comes to Grant from the U.S.
State Department through its Bio-Industry Initiative (BII) program.
The BII is designed to foster medical and other biological research
and development in the former Soviet Union by converting former
biowarfare scientists to productive peacetime activities.
Sveshnikov/Kiselev have developed an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent
Assay (ELISA) to detect specific cancer-causing proteins from the
human papillomavirus (HPV) -- the obligate cause of cervical cancer --
in the cervical mucous and cells (which make up liquid-based pap
samples). The test utilizes certain monoclonal antibodies against
these cancer-causing HPV proteins for detection. Thus far, the test is
designed to detect cancer-causing proteins from HPV types 16 and 18
which, collectively, are responsible for most cervical disease. This
type-specific antigen test, once fully validated and expanded to
include additional types of HPV associated with cervical dysplasia and
cancer, would be a very synergistic and complementary test to existing
Pap technology. It will provide for very low-cost HPV testing as
currently performed in Western countries, without the need for
additional cervical specimens beyond what is now taken. In addition,
large capital outlays would not be required, since most laboratories
can readily do ELISA testing.
Sveshnidov/Kiselev have already tested their technology with 1000
Russian samples to confirm the potential of this technology. Grant
will be further validating with more specimens from Russia and via the
many cervical specimens obtained in the United States under its
Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval in controlled clinical
settings.
"Together, when validated, Grant will have two complementary
cervical dysplasia or cancer diagnostic tests that will work on blood
serum or cervical mucous and cells," said Dr. Hun-Chi Lin, President
and Chief Scientist at Grant. "A blood-based test is eminently
suitable for the 1.7 billion women worldwide who currently are not
tested by Pap smear cytology. This inadequacy results in over 300,000
deaths per year. Meanwhile, a test employing cervical mucous or cells
is readily fitting for Western medical venues, and has the potential
of reducing costs dramatically when compared against those for current
HPV DNA-testing. Furthermore, it could significantly reduce
expenditures for follow-up referral procedures that turn out to be
overwhelmingly negative, with billions of dollars per year in
unnecessary medical expenses saved as a consequence."
About Grant Life Sciences Inc.
Grant Life Sciences Inc. develops products to improve the
efficiency of detecting and diagnosing cervical cancer, including a
sensitive, reliable, non-invasive, point-of-care test. The diagnostic
assay being developed by the Company has initial clinical validation
indicating superior sensitivity and specificity in detecting cervical
cancer and its precursors, a disease that kills in excess of 300,000
women annually. Currently there are more than 120 million cervical
screening tests administered annually in the U.S. and Europe. More
than 120 million eligible women 20+ years old in developed nations
still do not get Pap smears, and globally more than 1.7 billion over
the age of 20 have never been checked due to cultural, religious or
economic reasons. Further information is available at:
