OCTI NEWS --
DAVIS, CA, Aug 12, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Octus, Inc. (OTCBB: OCTI), a
leading smart energy efficiency company, today announced it has partnered with
Five Star Bank to provide energ y efficiency project financing for commercial and
industrial building owners. The Octus/Five Star Bank Smart Energy Financing
Program enables property owners to significantly reduce their energy expenses
with little to no upfront costs.
"Increasingly, commercial building owners are taking advantage of energy
efficiency technologies to enhance their net operating income and asset values,
differentiate their real estate portfolios, boost occupancy, and command greater
lease rates," said Octus CEO Chris Soderquist. "Five Star Bank was founded by
Northern California business and commercial real estate leaders who understand
the critical value of these types of measures in managing their businesses and
assets. The Smart Energy financing program will make the benefits of energy
efficiency measures for commercial building owners immediately accessible."
"The paramount challenge with implementing energy-savings measures has been the
ava ilability of capital to finance investment-prudent building improvements,"
said Five Star Bank President and CEO James Beckwith. "Through the Octus/Five
Star Bank Smart Energy Financing Program, property owners can use the energy
savings generated through facility improvements to cover energy efficiency
project expenses."
The Octus/Five Star Bank Smart Energy Financing Program targets projects ranging
from $25,000 to $500,000, with simple payback periods of less than four years.
In most cases, incentives and rebates from utility companies for energy-savings
measures will serve as the down payment for the non-collateralized financing.
Octus and Five Star Bank are collaboratively marketing the program, and Octus is
responsible for all phases of energy efficiency project development.

Have a great vacation, Rain.
The Hannover House logo appeared at the beginning of the print I saw in West Hollywood today. It was a slightly different version of the logo seen at the beginning of Racing Dreams which I saw 2 weeks ago at the same theater, the Laemmle Sunset 5.
I did my part and saw the 1:20 PM showing of Twelve at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in West Hollywood. Maybe 8 people in the theater. My opinion?
Some strong perfomances from the young cast, atmospheric camera work, and sensitive use of music to heighten some of the more dramatic moments. I could have done without Keifer's narration (even though I'm a huge Jack Bauer fan). All-in-all not a bad film and one that is likely to be enjoyed by the generation for whom it is intended.
NEWS --
Aug 06, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Cyclone Power Technologies Inc.
announced that its licensee Great Wall Alternative Power Systems has completed
the first phase of its License Agreement invo lving the establishment of secure
intellectual property protocols in China for Cyclone's technology.
The Company said the parties now enter the prototyping phase of this agreement
in an effort to advance the production of Cyclone's heat-regenerative external
combustion engines for the China market.
A aspect of Cyclone's agreement with GWAPS entails structuring strict and well
defined procedures and protocols for protecting Cyclone's patents in China. This
involves creating secure computer network systems, implementing confidentiality
agreements, educating personnel, establishing government liaisons, and retaining
legal professionals to monitor and, if necessary, prosecute patent infringement
cases in China. As part of this process, Cyclone has retained legal counsel of
its own in China to audit the IP protocols that GWAPS establishes.
"We're pleased with how seriously GWAPS takes their responsibility not only to
protect our intellectual property in China, but also to be a proactive advocate
for our technology in that country," stated Cyclone's General Counsel,
Christopher Nelson. "We have a great deal of faith that our partners in China
will be able to bring products to market in a manner that will protect the
long-term value of Cyclone's patents."
The Company noted GWAPS will now proceed to develop in China a production
prototype of Cyclone's biomass-to-power generator system - a portable CHP power
plant capable of producing 10kW or more of electricity from the combustion of
dry vegetative biomass, as well as delivering space or water heating to nearby
homes. The parties will also formulate plans in the coming months for the
prototyping of Cyclone's Mark V engine for electric power generation from
bio-fuel combustion.
"We see this innovative biomass-to-power generator system as the first piece in
a long and fruitful working relationship with Cyclo ne," stated Robert Devine,
Managing Director of GWAPS "The Chinese government has set an installed capacity
target of 30GW of biomass-generated power by 2020, with expected investment
approaching US$30 billion. If Cyclone and GWAPS can deliver the first reliable,
cost-effective distributed biomass power solution as part of this rollout, the
market potential will be enormous."
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the Cyclone Engine - an external
combustion engine with the power and versatility to run everything from portable
electric generators and garden equipment to cars, trucks and locomotives.

INDUSTRY KEYWORD: Wireless_News
NEWS -- LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug 06, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MMRGlobal, Inc.
(OTCBB: MMRF)
Dear Stockholder:
In the entertainment industry, 2012 was the name of a major motion picture. In
China, 2012 will be the Year of the Dragon. At MMRGlobal, 2012 will be the Year
of the Personal Health Record (PHR). That's when health care professionals will
be required to provide Personal Health Records to patients as part of compliance
with Meaningful Use.
At MMRGlobal, we're ready for the future of health care today.
The MyMedicalRecords.com PHR already offers patented Emergency Login features,
patient selected privacy controls, the ability to securely receive and send a
medical record from and to any health care professional (or anyone) anywhere in
the world. And it does not matter how a record is created, with paper and pen or
from the most sophisticated of EMRs. Further, the MMR Stimulus Program pays
physicians for simply doing what they will have to do; specifically,
electronically provide patients with timely access to their personal health
information. Also, because we believe in the quality, safety and security of our
product, MMR carries cyber liabil ity insurance to protect our consumer and
professional users from actual loss or damage caused by an error in the
Company's PHR system.
Last week in Chicago and yesterday in Los Angeles, we met with senior executives
of two hospital systems representing more than 2,000 staff physicians. Working
with these hospital systems, MMR is in the process of developing programs
designed to enable hospitals and larger group practices to underwrite the
installation of an MMRPro system through the MMR Stimulus Program.
Also last week in meetings at Kodak headquarters in Rochester, N.Y., we began
planning on numerous expanded distribution strategies and joint sales and
marketing opportunities. Additionally, this month we will begin testing the next
generation of an MMRPro system with new Kodak hardware, improved software and a
more seamless interface that will make it faster and more efficient for doctors'
offices to digitize patient records a nd offer MMRPatientView.com upgrades. We
anticipate distributing the new MMRPro branded system later this year at which
time we will upgrade any systems in the field at no cost to our customers.
Kodak will also promote the new MMRPro system in Kodak merchandising and
marketing materials designed to make it easier for resellers and distributors to
sell directly. We also will participate with Kodak in an expanded tradeshow
schedule, with coverage in the Kodak newsletter and inclusion on Kodak's Partner
Web site. This quarter, National Payment Providers will also begin presenting
MMRPro to its database of more than 160,000 physician billing clients with
delivery and installation support from Kodak starting later this year.
I also spent last week with Chartis International executives in New York
regarding sales of MyEsafeDepositBox and MyMedicalRecords domestically. Rich
Teich, MMRGlobal's Executive Vice President, also attended prelim inary
implementation meetings in New York this week. We anticipate announcements on
these and other similar programs in the first quarter of 2011 while we continue
to push forward on the international front.
Later this month, expect the launch of the new redesigned MyEsafeDepositBox,
which will be the structural backbone for Chartis Esafe and numerous banking
programs, including one that has been in development for more than two years.
In China, we are deploying MMRGlobal developers in Zhengzhou City to work
side-by-side with the local development teams at Unis-TongHe. They will begin
design plans on the two projects for presentation to China's hospital system.
These proposal efforts represent the groundwork for two health information
exchange systems that can provide services to over 100 million people.
In October, I plan on visiting our technology partner Nihilent in India as part
of a strategy to present MMR to government officials, private hospital networks
and local health care professionals.
In addition to our ongoing efforts to identify a strategic partner to develop
the Company's anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody assets, we continue to look at our
many other biotech assets arising out of the pre-merger Favrille Specifid
vaccine and, as such, we are seeking opportunities with biotech and
institutional investment partners to exploit those assets.
It is an extremely busy time at MMRGlobal. I have touched on a few of the many
initiatives that this company is pursuing around the world. When the recently
filed S1/A goes effective, the Company will have access to up to $10 million in
capital which can help accelerate our ability to execute on these business
opportunities and more. It will provide resources for development, marketing and
sales of our products to our consumer, health care professional, corporate and
affinity clients worldwide. As the la rgest beneficial holder of this company, I
am excited about the fact that we will have these additional resources and look
forward to being in a better position to execute on our plans and grow with the
global health care market.
I rarely talk about the people on the MMRGlobal team and how they are the recipe
for success. It's two o'clock AM and I am working with Bobbie after 10 years and
a full day of meetings with Rich (who I have worked with for 33 years), AJ (15
years), Ingrid (20 years) and Ralph (15 years), all of whom work around the
clock seven days a week.
Then there's our Board of Directors. They also get to be on call 24-hours a day
and utilize their entire network of contacts in support of the Company. For
example, Hector Barreto has supported the Company for nearly three years after
leaving as the longest running Administrator of the U.S. Small Business
Administration. He presided over 9/11 and Katrina and brings wi th him a wealth
of knowledge and experience.
George Rebensdorf has worked with me on finance and regulatory affairs for more
than 15 years. Bernie Stolar, who I have worked with for nearly 30 years, brings
the experience of launching Sony PlayStation(R), running Sega and being the
Gaming Industry Evangelist for Google. Also in the 30-year category is Jack
Zwissig, who is an expert in executive leadership and corporate team building.
Doug Helm, who was appointed to the board of pre-merger Favrille, is a
world-class expert on insurance, benefits and banking and helps lead the
Company's insurance and banking efforts. Dave Boyden, another Favrille
appointee, is the biotech answer man on the scientific assets in the Company's
portfolio.
There are not many people who can write about a team that's been together for
more than 175 years.
Sincerely,
Robert H. Lorsch Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer

I saw Racing Dreams at the Laemmle in West Hollywood at 1:50 PM today which I believe was the first screening at this theater. There were three of us in the audience - myself and the two producers of a documentary-in-progress on Page Jones, son of legendary car racer Parnelli Jones. All three of us enjoyed the movie and also thought it was very well produced.
Racing Dreams definitely deserves an audience and here's hoping that it'll get one. My guess is that it will take some time but it will happen, whether in theaters, on DVD, through VOD, or through its connection to the potential fictional re-make down the road.

customer's glass manufacturing furnaces into electricity, which will be supplied
back to the power grid. The final system is expected to be cash positive in 12
months and provide a full payback to Bent Glass within three years.
"We're pleased to be receiving this waste heat power system from Cyclone and
look forward to working with their team to complete installation," said Bent
Glass founder and President Steve Lerner. "In addition to providing substantial
savings to our bottom line, we believe that this system will help us conserve
non-renewable energy resources and reduce gr eenhouse gas emissions."
"This is a major step forward in the commercialization of our waste heat
technology, which we expect to comprise a substantial portion of our overall
business in the future," stated Christopher Nelson, Managing Director of
Cyclone's WHE division. "While there is more testing and validation to be done,
we forecast that our revenues from waste heat operations could approach $50
million annually within five years."
Cyclone's Rankine-cycle waste heat engine has been in development since late
2008, and during that time has undergone many months of advancements to increase
durability, efficiency and power output. The same engine was shipped in March
2010 to Robotic Technology as part of a project sponsored by DARPA, an agency of
the U.S. Department of Defense.
"People sometimes forget that there are no pre-existing 'build-by' design
drawings for these engine systems -- we have developed it all from the bot tom up
and that takes time," stated Cyclone's CEO and technology inventor Harry
Schoell. "We know, however, that there is an enormous, underserved market for
medium-range waste heat power generators, and we believe that our system will
still be the first to effectively convert such wasted energy into clean,
renewable, revenue-producing power."

At the shareholder meeting earlier this month both Bob and Ingrid emphasized that they believe in being very conservative with regard to guidance. They want to avoid overpromising and underdelivering (their words) in part because of what underdelivering can do to a company's stock price. I like their approach.
MMRF NEWS --
LOS ANGELES, CA, Jun 29, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MMRGlobal, Inc.
(OTCBB: MMRF) (www.mmrglobal.com) today gave guidance in the form of projected
sales, portions of which may be recognized as deferred revenue ("Sales"). For
the 12 months ending December 31, 2010 the Company expects Sales of $2.7 million
or 350 percent over 2009. Based on the knowledge of management today, the
Company also projects Sales of $28 million for the 12 months ending December 31,
2011 or an increase of over 800 percent. Sales for the first six months of 2010
are expected to exceed the first six months of 2009 by more than 20 percent not
including any revenues from International Licensing in 2010. This demonstrates
that the Company's core Sales are growing at a pace of over 100 percent after
excluding the licensing revenues the Company reported last year. These
projections do not include revenues from Chartis in 2010 which may occur, or any
revenues from new affinity sales, China, India, integration to wireless devices,
clinical trials, biotech assets or revenue that may be recognized through
acquisitions.
According to Ingrid Safranek, Chief Financial Officer, "With the launch of MMRPro, the Company is taking the proactive step of early-adopting Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This allows the Company to consistently record revenue on these sales up to and through the Company's mandatory adoption date of January 1, 2011. Additionally, this new ASU is closer to the FASB's proposed alignment with International Financial Reporting Standards. Adoption of this new standard results in revenue being reported earlier than under the old accounting rules."
"Management has taken what we believe to be a cautious approach to our guidance
by carefully evaluating our sales and marketing agreements, distribution
channels and long lead times for time-to-market, which the Company has
experienced in the past," added Safranek.
The Company has modeled patient upgrades internally as follows: Patient upgrades
will come from MMRPatientView through MMRPro sales from resellers and
distributors, and National Payment Providers ("NPP"). The Company projects that
the average MMRPro user will have 2.5 physicians, each with 2,000 active patient
charts, or 5,000 patients per MMRPro placement. The Company projects that
doctors will upgrade an average of two patients per month to MMRPatientView
(www.mmrpatientvideos.com), which should continue to increase year-over-year as
the public becomes more aware of the importance of having a personal health
record ("PHR") and the government mandates the use of PHRs in healthcare reform.
Physicians receive 35 percent of all revenue from patient upgrades, which the
Company believes can result in substantially more income to doctors than the
$44,000 in government stimulus programs. Kodak distributors and resellers and
NPP receive an additional 15 percent as long as their MMRPro sale is active
which should be no less than three years.
Accord ing to Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
MMRGlobal, "In addition to the Company's core business, we foresee incremental
growth from the effects of an acquisition strategy by adding business units that
sell complementary products and services to MMRPro customers, and from our
targeted expansion into the Pacific Rim with Kodak, and India with Nihilent. As
part of the acquisition strategy, the Company could introduce a full-blown
Electronic Medical Records product after meaningful use criteria are finalized.
We continue to work with GRSworldwide on opportunities to introduce the
Company's products and services to the clinical trials market. Also, it is
impossible to predict revenues, if any, which could come from the Company's
pre-merger Favrille biotech assets. While the Company continues to explore
opportunities involving those assets, we remain focused on our core business,
which is the development and marketing of professional and consumer-based health
information technology products and services."
Last Sunday, on June 27th, the Company ran a 30-second commercial during the
37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards primetime television special. The Company
converted more than 20 percent of all visitors to its website to an e-mail
address and more than 5 percent to paid accounts despite a 30-day free trial.
MMR will continue to exploit its commercial advertising on the Web and in direct
marketing materials through its agreement with E-Mail Frequency.
The Company is in the process of translating its consumer websites into seven
foreign languages in support of its Chartis agreement and believes that once
completed, this could result in additional licensing and/or direct international
marketing opportunities. To learn more about MMR Global, Inc. and its products,

Screening Room: Joel Schumacher fest at the Egyptian; the Getty's 'Ornament and Enchantress' series
By Susan King, Los Angeles Times
June 24, 2010
Advertisement
Joel Schumacher began his career as a costume designer with the 1972 film "Play It as It Lays." Nine years later, he made his feature directorial debut with "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" with Lily Tomlin. His latest film, "Twelve," opens at the end of July.
This weekend, the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre is saluting Schumacher with a three-day in-person retrospective. On Friday evening, Schumacher will introduce his 1993 psychological thriller, "Falling Down," starring Michael Douglas as man who goes on a killing spree after he loses his job, as well as his 1990 chiller "Flatliners," starring Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon as med students who decide to experiment with death.
Schumacher and stars from his latest film will be on hand Saturday evening at a preview screening of "Twelve," which stars Chace Crawford as a rich Manhattan teen who drops out of school to sell drugs.
The retrospective concludes Sunday at the Cinematheque's Aero Theatre with the 25th anniversary of his Brat Pack fave, "St. Elmo's Fire," starring Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Mare Winningham, Andrew McCarthy and Andie MacDowell.
The Egyptian's "Widescreen Wednesday" concludes this Wednesday with a screening of the 1959 Oscar-winning classic "The Diary of Anne Frank," directed by George Stevens. Millie Perkins, who played Anne, and Diane Baker, who played her sister Margot, will be on hand to discuss the film. http://www.americancinematheque.com
So sensual
The Getty Center presents "The Ornament and Enchantress" film series as a complement to the current exhibition "The Spectacular Art of Jean-Léon Gérôme." According to the Getty, the series is "inspired by the sensual, implicitly eroticized women" in Gérôme's work. The free series begins Saturday afternoon with the outrageous 1923 "Salome," starring Alla Nazimova, who also produced the film. Natacha Rambova, who was married to Valentino, was the art director. Later that evening, the Getty presents Cecil B. DeMille's deliciously over-the-top 1934 epic "Cleopatra," starring Claudette Colbert as the Queen of the Nile.
On tap for Sunday afternoon is DeMille's 1949 Technicolor biblical extravaganza, "Samson and Delilah," starring Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature. Following is Greta Garbo's kitschy and erotic 1931 melodrama "Mata Hari," which also features Ramon Novarro. http://www.getty.edu/visit

MMRF NEWS --
LOS ANGELES, CA, Jun 24, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MMRGlobal, Inc.
(OTCBB: MMRF) will launch its advertising campaign THE FUTURE OF YOUR HEALTH AT
WORK TODAY to educate the public on the importance of having a Personal Health
Record during the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards airing from the Las Vegas
Hilton this Sunday, June 27th on the CBS Television Network. The primetime show
is projected to reach as many as seven million viewers. To preview MMR's
commercial go to http://www.youtube.com/mmrglobal.
The 30-second TV spot offers viewers the opportunity to find out for themselves
the value of having a MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record. Each online
account comes with its own private personal fax number, a service that typically
costs twice the amount of a subscription to MyMedicalRecords.com.
"GE has emerged as a major advertiser with their 'healthymagination' campaign,
an initiative to gather, share and discuss healthy ideas, about how one can make
a difference in their future," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of
MMRGlobal, Inc. "MMR's campaign is titled 'The Future of Your Health At Work
Today.' At MMRGlobal, we will begin the task of educating consumers on how they
can make a difference in their future by having a Personal Health Record today."
Using the MyMedicalRecords PHR, individuals can check to see if the information
in their medical records is accurate, save money by avoiding unnecessary repeat
tests, and safely view their health information online anytime, especially in an
emergency. Additionally, users can be alerted to doctor appointments and
prescription refills at multiple e-mail addresses, retrieve password-protected
voicemail messages from their doctors, avoid having to fill out forms each time
they visit a new doctor, maintain a record of all their children's
immunizations, have their medications automatically checked for adverse drug
interactions, and importantly, experience peace of mind knowing that potentially
life-saving information is protected and instantly accessible to medical
personnel via a separate emergency login in an emergency or natural disaster
situation.
"We believe that we represent one of the biggest user bases of any Personal
Health Record in the world," said Lorsch. "MMRGlobal's THE FUTURE OF YOUR HEALTH
AT WORK TODAY campaign will be expanded to other broadcast and online media to
show how a powerful tool that people can use to better manage their health and
help reduce medical expenses is available to everyone now," added Lorsch.

"We're very encouraged by the consistently positive response that the film has
received from both audiences and reviewers," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of
Hannover House. "There's nothing else like it, which is why we're now gearing up
for a much larger theatrical release than originally planned."
The initial theatrical release for "The Wild Hunt" from Hannover House had been
announced for July 16, with about ten theatres in three markets. The company isnow in discussions with major exhibition chains to expand the release during
July and August to reach over 100 theaters in twenty-five key markets.
"The goal is to not only reach out to the millions of participants in the world
of Live Action Role Playing, but to address the reality that the film clearly
plays well to mainstream audiences," said Parkinson. "The fans are a great base,
but the major critics agree with our analysis that the film has a much larger,
commercial potential," he concluded.
"The Wild Hunt" is a action adventure and thriller, set within the world of Live
Action Role Players, a popular and growing hobbyist movement in which
participants assume the costumes and roles of characters from medieval times or
other settings, from video games to Civil War Reenactments. It is estimated that
up to five million people in North America participate in some form of Live
Action Role Playing recreation.

visited Mongolia on my previous trip to Asia as Redwood Capital was preparing to
sign Monseka Mining Corporation as a client, I was already aware of the
significant opportunities in Mongolia, but this event has only strengthened my
belief that Redwood Capital may find additional business in the country."
Monseka Mining Corporation was founded to become a world class multi-mineral
provider focused on the production of tungsten, tin, molybdenum and bismuth. The

NEWS --
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Jun 23, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies
(Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced today that the Korean Intellectual Property Office
has issued a notice of deci sion to grant the company a patent on the steam
generator of its award-winning, heat regenerative external combustion engine.
The steam generator is a critical component of the eco-friendly Cyclone Engine,
as it creates high thermal efficiencies within the engine from the combustion of
virtually any fuel, including today's most promising home-grown bio-fuels. The
innovative design of this component creates a cyclonic circulation of gases
within the engine's combustion chamber, thus promoting greater heat saturation
relative to the amount of fuel burned. It is also this unique process that gives
rise to the engine's "Cyclone" name.
"The heat transfer on this unit appears highly advanced and efficient, more than
any other heat transfer unit I have studied," stated George Nutz, a technology
advisor to the company who has performed rigorous thermal and stress analysis on
the steam generator. "This is very rare for such a small unit wit h such high
heat input rates." Mr. Nutz has almost 50 years experience working with external
combustion and steam engines, including working as a staff research engineer at
MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, part of the Department of Aeronautics and
Astronautics.
Cyclone received its first patent in Korea in September 2009 on the total engine
system. The current patent allowance marks the ninth international patent for
Cyclone's engine and components, including one covering the nations of the
European Union.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine
-- an eco-friendly external combustion engine with the power and versatility to
run everything from portable electric generators and garden equipment to cars,
trucks and locomotives. Invented by company founder and CEO Harry Schoell, the
patented Cyclone Engine is a modern day steam engine, ingeniously designed to
achieve high thermal efficiencies through a compact heat-regenerative process,
and to run on virtually any fuel - including bio-diesels, syngas or solar -
while emitting fewer greenhouse gases and irritating pollutants into the air.
Currently in its late stages of development, the Cyclone Engine was recognized
by Popular Science Magazine as the Invention of the Year for 2008, and was
presented with the Society of Automotive Engineers' AEI Tech Award in 2006 and
2008. Additionally, Cyclone was recently named Environmental Business of the
Year by the Broward County Environmental Protection Department. For more
information, visit www.cyclonepower.com.

Welcome to iHub, sail, and congrats on your very first post. We look forward to more of your astute analysis going forward!
I sat across the aisle from her during the meeting. That's as far as I got. ;)
EDIT I did shake her hand, though. LOL
The possibility of MMRF's acquistion by a Biggie was mentioned but not emphasized. Bob said that no increases to the A/S are in the foreseeable future. He did emphasize partnering with other companies that offer complementary products within MMRF's market niche. In part, this strategy will be followed because it will prevent MMRF from having to spend millions of dollars on developing those complementary products on its own.
Bob strikes me as a very strategic, visionary, and hard-working fellow. I am willing to give him the time necessary to work his plan for the company. For me, MMRF is a multi-year play that has a good chance of delivering strong returns.
