Looking at Level 2 we are going to gap up this morning. Should break that pesky .0115 mark.
Poptech they don't care about indirect versus direct. They only care that it works.
Maybe for the time being they don't. But your clients eventualy will want a "traffic report" on their campaigns. I believe direct will fade away because of it. jmo

42" monitor it was the i-nigma that worked. not neoreader or scanbuy
Now I touched the url and it took me to the iphone app store to the neoreader to down load. I think this is cool.
jcg0176 I down loaded the i-nigma on my iphone just minutes ago after JP posted. I Used all 3 scanners on your Q code signature the i-nigma came back with http://get.neoreader.com I think it is very interesting that it gave me the url but my neoreader did not work nor did the scanbuy.
Will I hope it works out for all of you longs. But I have seen Den packaging name on plenty of prs and Michael Levine
is CEO of both companies. I emailed daily for a couple of weeks(never responed back)and called both companies several times. Den P. would tell me they could not ansewer my questions and to call vital P. which I did and was told they could not talk about it. So it is not the first time they gave a name. Good luck
It's not the MM I have problems with it is management. Too many prs never came to fruit. The company changes its name every two years and product line. They use to make baby products at one time. I could have sold at a $1.60 Sold at .2 ouch.. Where is the latest 10-Q late as usual. GLTA
That would be nice. We would never hear from srowen ever again. I think it would make the PPS move up.
Its a QR code... Yes I see that but it's a Google QR code are you hoping google will be signing a lic. deal? Are you working with srowen at google? It's like working at pepsi and you bring coke to work for everybody. LOL

Bloggers Must Disclose Payments for Reviews
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/10/05/technology/AP-US-TEC-Bloggers-FTC.html?_r=1&hpw October 5, 2009
Bloggers Must Disclose Payments for Reviews
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 9:59 p.m. ET
The Federal Trade Commission on Monday took steps to make product information and online reviews more accurate for consumers, regulating blogging for the first time and mandating that testimonials reflect typical results.
The FTC will require that writers on the Web clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. The commission also said advertisers featuring testimonials that claim dramatic results cannot hide behind disclaimers that the results aren't typical.
The FTC said its commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the final guidelines, which had been expected. The guides are not binding law, but rather interpretations of law that hope to help advertisers comply with regulations. Violating the rules, which take effect Dec. 1, could result in various sanctions including a lawsuit.
Testimonials have to spell out what consumers should expect to experience with their products. Previously, companies had just included disclaimers when results were out of the ordinary -- such as a large weight loss -- noting that the experience was not typical for all customers.
Testimonial advertisements can be effective for consumers since they show others talking about their experiences, giving hope to the consumer that they'll have that experience too. But they are misleading to consumers if they don't disclose what they should truly expect to experience, the commission said.
For bloggers, the FTC stopped short of specifying how they must disclose conflicts of interest. Rich Cleland, assistant director of the FTC's advertising practices division, said the disclosure must be ''clear and conspicuous,'' no matter what form it will take.
Bloggers have long praised or panned products and services online. But what some consumers might not know is that many companies pay reviewers for their write-ups or give them free products such as toys or computers or trips to Disneyland. In contrast, at traditional journalism outlets, products borrowed for reviews generally have to be returned.
Before the FTC gave notice last November it was going to regulate such endorsements, blogs varied in the level of disclosures about these potential conflicts of interest.
The FTC's proposal made many bloggers anxious. They said the scrutiny would make them nervous about posting even innocent comments.
To placate such fears, Cleland noted that the FTC's enforcement priorities make it more likely an advertiser would be targeted for disclosure or testimonial violations than a blogger. The exception would be a blogger who runs a ''substantial'' operation that violates FTC rules and already received a warning, he said.
Existing FTC rules already banned deceptive and unfair business practices. The final guidelines aim to clarify the law for the vast world of blogging. Not since 1980 had the commission revised its guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
Jack Gillis, a spokesman for the Consumer Federation of America, thinks the FTC doesn't go far enough to protect consumers from unethical bloggers.
''Consumers are increasingly dependent on the Internet for purchase information,'' he said. ''There's tremendous opportunity to steer consumers to the wrong direction.''
The consumer advocacy group said lack of disclosure is a big problem in blogs. To mainly crack down on companies that give out freebies or pay bloggers won't always solve the problem. By going after bloggers as well, ''you put far more pressure on them to behave properly,'' Gillis said.
Cleland said a blogger who receives a freebie without the advertiser knowing would not violate FTC guidelines. For example, someone who gets a free bag of dog food as part of a promotion from a pet shop wouldn't violate FTC guidelines if he writes about the product on his blog.
Blogger Linsey Krolik said she's always disclosed any freebies she's received on products she writes about, but has stepped up her efforts since last fall. She said she adds a notice at the end of a post, ''very clear in italics or bold or something -- this is the deal. It's not kind of buried.''
As for testimonials, the new guidelines amount to changing the rules in the middle of the game, said Daniel Fabricant, interim executive director and CEO of the Natural Products Association, a trade group for nutritional supplements and natural products manufacturers and retailers.
He said the new rules probably won't change ads for his members, but it will leave them wondering what the FTC considers ''typical'' results. He said the FTC needs to define what those are.
''I don't think they've done that,'' he said. ''The results you see in clinics are going to be in some degree different from what you see in the consumer.''

OF
MANHATTAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD
NOVEMBER 16, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (sometimes referred to as “Manhattan,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. EST (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler PC at 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068, on November 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).
Important Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 16, 2009.
Our proxy materials including our Proxy Statement for the 2009 Annual Meeting, 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders (which contains our Annual Report on Form 10-K) and proxy card are available on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING
Why am I receiving these materials?
We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. The Annual Meeting will be held on November 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. (EST) at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler PC at 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or utilize the internet or telephone voting options.
We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about October 13, 2009 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Many of our stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Stockholder of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee which is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker as to how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares. If you do not vote your shares or otherwise provide the stockholder of record with voting instructions, your shares may constitute broker non-votes. The effect of broker non-votes is more specifically described in “What vote is required to approve each proposal?” below.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.
