Stockwatcher6... I did contact Suzanne at Iconosys and they also are perplexed as to why the stock price is going down. There seems to be alot of calls there on that. Anyway, the company is trying to update us on development and are just as worried about the stock price as we are (if you heard that in the radio interview). Hopefully, we move back up and get more people interested in the stock and company. It sounds like everything is moving in the right direction except the price.

BMSN on RADAR $$TARGET/ZIEL: 3,00+ US$ Dollars LONGTERM
Bio-Matrix Scientific Group (BMSN) (BMSN) announced today that its Regen BioPharma unit has appointed three internationally renowned regenerative medicine experts to its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The new SAB members appointed are David White, M.D., PhD; Wei-Ping Min, M.D., PhD and Vlad Bogin, M.D.
Dr. White is a member of the Surgery and Immunology faculty of The Schulic School of Medicine, University of Western Ontario. He is one of the leading experts on using regenerative medicine transplant procedures to treat pancreatic conditions, including diabetes. He is also the Chief Scientific Officer of Sernova Corp and was formerly a Therapeutic Area Head for Novartis. He received the B.Sc. degree from the University of Surrey and the M.D. and PhD degrees from Cambridge University.
Dr. Wei-Ping Min is Professor at the Lawson Health Research Center in Canada. He is inventor of siRNA therapeutics in the area of immunology and cell therapy to inhibit disease modalities. He is also the founder/cofounder of several biotech companies including MedVax Pharma Corp, and ToleroTech Inc. Dr. Min brings detailed scientific and mechanistic expertise to Regen BioPharma. He earned graduate and medical degrees from Nanchang University Medical School and the PhD degree from Kyushu University.
Dr. Bogin is the President and CEO of Cromos Pharma, a contract research organization that specializes in biopharmaceutical clinical outsourcing. He was formerly the Director of Boehringer Ingelheim in charge of the phase IV program for Dabigatran Etexilate. He studied at the Yale University School of Medicine and the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Regen BioPharma has also entered into a Letter of Intent with Clinartis LLC, a global contract research organization (CRO). Clinartis is a full service global CRO serving pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies to support Phase I - IV drug and device clinical trials in the US and Europe.
The SAB and Clinartis will assist the Company in its acquisition of intellectual property related to stem cells, translation of the intellectual property into treatments, and optimizing the value of these new therapies.
"The potential of regenerative medicine products is significant," says Christopher Mizer, the President of Regen BioPharma. "We believe that strategic collaborative relationships between Regen BioPharma, our SAB and Clinartis will facilitate our efforts to create value from that potential by developing proprietary, life sciences technologies and demonstrating their clinical utility."
"Our strong SAB has scientific and regulatory expertise, coupled with Clinartis' access to world-class researchers and investigators will be very instrumental for accelerated commercialization of the cutting-edge biotechnology research on which Regen BioPharma is focused," according to Bio-Matrix Scientific Group's Chairman & CEO David Koos.

Monster Offers Acquires 10% Equity Stake In App Development Firm Iconosys and 3 Popular Deal/Shopping Brands and Related Technologies, and Websites in Cash and Stock Deal.
Monster Offers gets 3 popular Facebook integrated shopping/promotion apps for individuals and small businesses, including Black Flyday™, Deal Buzzer™, and My Shopping Circle™
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster Offers™ (MONT), a leading Daily Deal analytics provider and mobile advertising/content distribution platform company, announced today that it has agreed to acquire 10% equity stake in Iconosys, Inc., a leading mobile app developer, having developed more than 1000 apps, with app design clients list Del Monte Fresh, The Travel America Visitor Guide Apps System[TAVG], and Fan Apps , an authentic source/developer of Smartphone marketing and promotional apps for celebrities, entertainers and star athletes. The deal includes Monster Offers' purchase of a 10% equity stake in Iconosys along with assets relating to 3 popular deal/shopping brands; Black Flyday™, Deal Buzzer™, and My Shopping Circle™, in exchange for cancellation of $500,000.00 in debt owed by Iconosys to Monster Offers.
This announcement comes on the heels of continued good news for Monster Offers. Commented Wayne Irving II, CEO of Monster Offers, "Acquiring this 10% position in Iconosys, as well as its established "Deal Buzzer" brands, is a deal that has been in the works for months, and parties on both sides have finally accepted the equity and asset transfer in exchange for cancellation of the Iconosys obligations. As a result of this transaction, Monster Offer is now poised to move its business plan forward with more exposure to the high growth consumer retail market for mobile communication apps."
Iconosys is a recognized leader in mobile communications app development, having developed more than 1000 Smart Device "retail grade" apps since 2009, and with a field of specialization in safety, security, and privacy-oriented technologies for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows, Chrome, Windows Phone/Windows Mobile. Iconosys apps can be found on Google Play, iTunes, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Amazon AppStore for Kindle and Smartphones. Its most media celebrated brands have been seen or featured numerous times in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, NY Post, OC Register, and Smart Money Magazine, just to name a few.
In addition to the attractive Deal Buzzer™ brands and trademarks, Monster Offers' acquisition of related, key Smart Device technologies for integration as part of this deal will assist it in providing a more comprehensive consumer experience and enable it to offer services not currently provided by competitors.
As part of the acquisition, Monster Offers gets Iconosys' Deal Buzzer™ assets, including the Black Flyday™ and My Shopping Circle apps, websites, coding, trademarks, and URLs. Management believes these properties will provide a synergistic compliment to Monster Offers' existing websites and databases, including its Monster Dealies Smartphone App, which collects and publishes thousands of GPS-driven, searchable deals for users from hundreds of Daily Deal providers.
Technologies to be included in the acquisition:
Deal Buzzer™: The Deal Buzzer platform allows small-business owners, entrepreneurs, and self-employed individuals and promoters to post their special offers on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter on a daily – or even up-to-the-minute – basis. With this app, users can quickly share the latest hot deals or "today's special" on Smartphones, handheld tablets, and other devices; include photographs with the offer; integrate Facebook friends; store entries; and utilize Iconosys' "Where Am I?" technology, which is built into the system and allows individuals to post their current location. More specifically, deal buzzer apps consist of the following features:
Deal Buzzer™ (promote your restaurant, car wash, oil change, insurance deal, etc. directly to Facebook)
Amazon Buzzer (to promote products in your Amazon store)
Auction Buzzer (to promote products you have up for auction)
Bar Buzzer (to promote drink specials, menu specials, happy hour promotions)
Car Buzzer (to promote your car or cars on your personal or used car lot social networking page)
Club Buzzer (to promote locations of your gigs, specials at your gig, rave, special parties)
Craigslist Buzzer (to promote and share your items you have on Craigslist on your Facebook page)
EBay Buzzer (to promote your EBay auctions and store items)
Event Buzzer (to promote special events, weddings, outdoor events)
For Sale Buzzer (to promote items one may have for sale, anywhere, across Facebook)
Mobbing Buzzer (to promote the location/time/theme and details about your flash mob)
Motorcycle Buzzer (to promote the sale of your motorcycle(s), parts, accessories)
Party Buzzer (having a party? promote the party by having your friends on Facebook see the party details/location)
Real Estate Buzzer (to promote your featured real property offerings on your business Facebook page)
Used Car Buzzer (selling used cars gets a boost with this one)
Black Flyday™: Recently featured in the OC Register, and USA Today, users of this app can see all the hottest deals, shared through various social networks, within a certain/defined radius of their current location and with the touch of a single button. Create shopping teams or circles of the people you tell when you find a killer bargain on something not to be missed. Popular among moms, this app is enabled with GPS and a real-time social bulletin board, this app was designed to keep all deal-conscious consumers "wired-in" with the latest deals. It also integrates with Facebook, allowing users to post new deals news to their Wall and lets everyone see what hot products they're eyeing by incorporating a "deal scroller" that serves as a ticker-like display showing all the latest bulletin postings.
My Shopping Circle™: Shows you all the deals your like-minded pals have shared. When you first open the app, you can post a deal you found and look at deals that Facebook friends have posted. You can also post your shopping lists, in the event that someone else is doing some shopping for you.
New Year's Buzzer™: New Year's Buzzer, another novel "media hit", connects New Year's enthusiasts with their friends, sending a message to each and everyone selected at midnight wishing them a customized "Happy New Year!" message. The idea here is that no one is missed and that all get to feel the significance that comes with being thought of at this memorable occasion. The app also has a resolution tracker in it, delivering regular affirmations encouraging users to stay on track with their resolutions through daily tracking options.
As part of the deal, these new brands and technologies will allow Monster Offers to evolve on pace with the changing Daily Deals marketplace. As became evident with Groupon's disappointing earnings last quarter and the subsequent ousting of CEO Andrew Mason last week, Daily Deals providers are now faced with the task of meeting the ever-changing demands and expectations of today's consumers or suffering huge losses. Simply providing consumers with deals is not enough anymore, and Monster Offers plans to use its newly acquired technologies to provide a more hyper-local and real-time Daily Deals experience for both customer and business alike. Management believes that one of the industry's main challenges is turning a ping-pong deal-chaser into a loyal repeat customer, which Monster Offers seeks to accomplish through its cutting edge arsenal of user- and business-friendly integrated technologies.
"The Buzzer brand and related technologies are a unique suite of apps that allows businesses to take exciting deals directly to their networks, essentially enabling owners to promote with ease, their own Specials, Deals or Daily Offers," says Wayne Irving II, CEO of Monster Offers. "With Facebook becoming more and more an important component to your business, this tool is one that you could install on a trusted employee's phone, which allows them to manage the daily specials for you without giving them access to your whole Facebook page."
Monster Offers sees the 10% equity stake in Iconosys as an important and strategic move that will round out their reach to promote and distribute deals in 2013 and beyond. It is the newest in a string of strategic moves for the company, including a recent strategic alliance with Hozio, an online marketing agency that provides boutique advertising and promotional services to small and medium-sized businesses.

'The Cell-Based Assays Market Will Reach $4.7 Billion in 2016' Shows New Visiongain Report
LONDON, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
A new report by visiongain predicts that the world market for cell-based assays will reach $4.7bn in 2016. That forecast and others appear in Cell-Based Assays: World Market Prospects 2013-2023, published in February 2013.
The new study explains how increased application and improvement in detection technology will be the major drivers for the cell-based assay market. As more pharma companies outsource drug discovery and development, forming strategic partnerships with contract research providers (CROs), cell-based assay services will increase their share of the market from 24.5% in 2011 to 30.2% in 2023, the report shows. In terms of application, primary screening accounted for the largest share of the cell-based assay market in 2011, with sales of $1.05bn (43.6%).
Hemant Mistry, a pharmaceutical industry analyst in visiongain, said: "Advances in detection equipment, improving sensitivity in drug screening, will act as key drivers for the cell-based assay market, in addition to the increased demand for more relevant and accurate toxicity models that can be used early in drug development. Miniaturising and multiplexing cell-based assays will make drug discovery more efficient and cheaper, which will also drive market growth over coming years.
"In 2011, developed markets - such as the US, Japan and Western Europe - accounted for the majority of the cell-based assays revenue. Global market shares for those countries are not expected to change significantly over the forecast period, as much of the world's drug discovery and development occurs there. The US accounted for 44.0% of the market in 2011. Emerging markets, such as China and India, will also experience strong growth throughout the period 2013-2023, we predict. Growth will be driven by increased outsourcing and also the trend of major pharmaceutical companies moving R&D there.
"There are strong opportunities for the cell-based assays market to expand in line with the continued development of technology for miniaturisation and automation, which includes higher sensitivity detection systems. Furthermore, the increased emphasis on stem cells will help develop disease-relevant models, as well as an abundant supply of unmodified human cells. Greater use of label-free detection systems will also allow the use of unmodified cells, removing the need to insert reporter proteins that can affect cell function. Opportunities will also arise from trends within the pharmaceutical industry, such as the need for more-accurate toxicity data before clinical trials, and the greater demand for biological drugs. Those drug classes will increase demand for immunogenicity, comparative and neutralising antibody assays."
Visiongain's report shows revenue forecasts to 2023 at world market, submarket and national level. It forecasts the following submarkets:
• Products
• Services.
That new study also analyses large CROs and other specialists in cell assaying products and services. Companies discussed include Covance, PPD, Charles River Laboratories, BD Biosciences and GE Healthcare.
The analysis explores technological trends. Also, it forecasts revenues in leading national markets: the US, Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Italy (EU5), Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC).
Cell-Based Assays: World Market Prospects 2013-2023 adds to visiongain's range of analytical reports on industries and markets for pharmaceutical technologies.

MCET After some great gains on our most recent plays, we`re finally back to bring you the next major play that we believe will have many heads turning as this week progresses. That play is MCET (MultiCell Technologies, Inc).
MultiCell has picked up a significant following as of late, even as the companies management has refrained from releasing fresh news announcements for quite some time. With the manner in which it has been trading lately, we feel that things are set up very well to see a significant push when further developments are announced.
This is an explanation of MultiCells business as detailed on yahoo finance:
“MultiCell Technologies, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of therapeutic products by using its immune system modulation technologies. The company focuses on the research and development of therapeutics that targeting degenerative neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis and cancer.” Also important to take note of is that MCET trades on the OTC QB, showing a greater interest by the company to provide greater disclosure of its inner workings to the public. Generally speaking these companies are seen as more appealing because they are not actively trying t hide information.
On the whole, things are looking very good here and we are excited to have beenable to bring this alert to your attention so early on.

Monster Offers (soon to be renamed Monster Mobile Marketing) was originally created to fill a need in the daily deals market for a more "hyperlocal" service delivering more user-specific deals. The company believes that consumers are more interested, if not exclusively interested, in deals that are being offered within a defined radius of their particular location; with this in mind, Monster Offer's new web-based daily deal aggregation is developed to recognize shoppers locale thru general IP address location methods, so as to focus the populated deals sent to that shopper based on the user's actual location, and in this way helping them to easily see all the great opportunities for savings in their particular area.
"We live in a culture of bargain hunters. Not only are people looking for the next killer deal, but they may also be basing a lot more of their purchasing decisions on whether or not a deal is even being offered," commented Monster Offers technologist Thomas Mead. "Monster Offers' new online access to searchable/localized bargains saves consumers time and money as they comb the landscape for the `diamond in the rough'."
Monster Offers' New Online Portal Features Include:
-- Hyperlocal list of daily "Monster Dealies" in up to 14 categories and 60
subcategories in your local market, all easily accessible with the press
of a button.
-- View deals from hundreds of daily deal providers, including Groupon,
Living Social, EDeals, iCoupon, Goldstar, DealFind, Zozi,
Restaurant.com, Signpost, Double Take Deals, and many more.
-- Get the best deal in the country with the "National Deal of the Day" --
straight from the Monster Offers "Monster" himself.
-- Utilizing IP addresses, map deals from the pool of over 30,000 potential
offers, available right to your physical location in real time through
your web browser, or the Smartphone App available for download.
-- In the Monster Offers App, adjust your preferential settings to a
specific radius that reflects your daily travels.
-- Share deals with friends and family through social networking sites
(including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and more).
Monster Offers is also expanding its role as a niche player in the daily deal space by selling analytical reports to daily deal providers, and now interfacing with daily deal customers with the aggregation and promotion of daily deals to consumers through its www.MonsterOffers.com website. Expanding the reach to consumers through this new web portal provides access to more market share within the industry by providing search capabilities for users to find daily deals based on filtering algorithms, zip codes, predictive text search by city, IP addresses, and by user preferences. Monster Offers recognizes revenues, thru a generous commission structure, for each deal purchased thru the Monster Offers web component or the Smartphone App.
The Monster Offers new web portal can be found at http://www.monsteroffers.com/dailydeals.php. The Monster Offers Smartphone app can be downloaded for free with all Android devices through Monster Offers own App Store AppHysteria (www.apphysteria.com), as well as Amazon AppStore (www.amazon.com/appstore), iPhone and Windows Phone are both in development and coming soon.

Yep, Scott is pulling the old "maybe if I don't say anything it will go away". I figured there would be no press from RIP, which he says he does not own, from him or to the investors. No real PR news for months from Platinum and no new contracts. It really is ******.

Monster Offers Signs Denver Post to Analytics Services Agreement
Adding to a growing and already impressive client base, Monster Offers now delivers its proprietary Daily Deal Analytics to the Denver Post.
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster Offers (MONT), a mobile media and marketing consulting firm based out of Orange County, California, announces their newest client for Daily Deal Analytics: The Denver Post. The Denver Post is Colorado's largest print audience publication, with 1.1 million Sunday readers and 677,000 daily readers. It also boasts Colorado's largest online audience of 6 million monthly readers and unique visitors accessing 37 million pages, including 5.7 million mobile page views per month. Monster Offers has achieved success by collecting and publishing Daily Deals from multiple sites and from numerous local communities across the U.S. and Canada, finding trends and helping to decipher and making sense of marketing and related deal data for clients and consumers alike.
Through its gathering, analyzing, and distributing of Daily Deals statistics to deal providers and publishers, such as The Denver Post, Monster Offers helps to create leads, sharpen sales, and increase profits by implementing deal structures that have been shown to yield necessary ROI. With the trend toward mobile migration of tech savvy shoppers accessing Daily or special deals, and just about everything else for that matter, on Smartphones and tablets, providers of this information are now seeking new ways to take advantage of this new connection between retailers and potential clients. For this reason, Monster Offers' big data services prove especially appealing to providers such as The Denver Post.
Indeed, the Daily Deal sector has experienced brisk, if not exponential, revenue growth over the past five years. By way of example, according to the February 2012 report published by Grail Research, the US Daily Deal market is predicted to generate $4.1 billion in revenues by 2014. The Grail Report also noted that 65% of visitors to top 100 retail websites were enrolled in at least one Daily Deal email program, and that 63% of consumers receive emails from 2 or more local Daily Deal Sites. This explosive growth is due to a combination of factors, including the needs for smaller business with very limited advertising or marketing budgets to draw in customers for "low to no" upfront marketing costs, combined with consumers' desire to efficiently expand their information horizon in scouring the landscape for the best deal they can find, preferably local. Furthermore, the growing number of mobile internet connections has promoted demand for Daily Deals sites, where the huge volume of traffic means big advertising revenues for these sites. In view of these trends, it is hardly surprising that Daily Deal Media reports $2 billion in revenue in 2012 (up from $873 million in 2010 as reported by The Grail Report), showing that consumers are paying a lot of attention to Daily Deals providers.
To help meet this growing demand, Monster Offers aggregates and promotes Daily Deals to consumers via their Monster Dealies Smartphone application(s), which provides search capabilities for users to find Daily Deals based on filtering algorithms, zip codes, predictive text search by city, and user preferences. Monster Offers also sells analytical reports to Daily Deal providers, in this way generating revenue through data subscriptions by both consumers and companies.
As a result of its recent merger with Ad-Shark, Inc., an innovative leader in mobile marketing/ advertising consulting, Monster Offers now has more avenues available for creating revenues, and the combined company can offer even more services to existing clients, given Ad Shark's focus on a similar client base of small-to-mid-sized businesses. Monster Offers management sees many synergies from its acquisition of the Ad Shark client base, whose businesses represent the main target buyer for Daily Deal Analytics and provide Monster Offers with a natural window into seeing just who is accessing these deals and with better tools to help provide clients with natural leads for profitable follow up.
"We are excited to see our customer base expanding," commented Wayne Irving, II, CEO of Monster Offers. "I believe that more Daily Deals providers are interested in what deals are working in different areas, and we have found a niche in gathering and de-coding analytics and big data. We look forward to being a significant resource to The Denver Post's sales staff as it tries to more effectively market its Daily Deal information."

I have not heard anything, but that does not mean nothing is happening. It would be nice to get an update on what progress is being made, but it will take some time, or at the very least, when something important is available to tell.

People are lucky if they got in that low. To me, playing the in, out and back in game is risky, but sometimes with these stocks, it is the only way to make money.
I'm holding for higher gain though. A few hundred dollar gain wont cut it. We have potential to go higher. I think if we do 50M plus in volume, the alarms should go off.

Nice volume. I would expect to see some volume alerts being sent out today, tonight, tomorrow.

Hey.. you asked him to do his duty and report the findings and now you complain when he does. From the look of those tweets, it looks like he is doing just that. He is fighting back against what seems an illegal firing and Scott's illegal activities (if he has the proof). If he can remove Scott from the company, it would be a great benefit for shareholders. Oh, and we don't know if this involves SEC, Directors, FEDS, whatever. You would have to contact him to find out.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=83856550
If shareholders got a gripe or want to find out more, they can contact him. If you want to help, since you constantly say you have info here to bring Scotty down and all other directors, you should email him too, instead of waiting on others to do it for you.
If Scotty sold everything, then send that proof to him and let him contact the SEC and whomever else he has contact with.

Classic Kiss My Valentine™ Features:

Local companies grow app businesses
Iconosys
Founder: Wayne Irving, who worked in software development since the '90s, decided to start an app company in 2009. While most app developers focused at the time on Apple's handhelds, Irving took a different route with his Laguna Niguel-based company and built apps for Google's emerging Android platform.
Apps: Iconosys made Drive Reply, an app that tries to discourage texting. The app recognizes when a person is moving in a car and responds by silencing incoming calls and automatically replying with a text message.
More details: The company also has created numerous other apps, such as Trick or Tracker, an app that allow parents to follow their children as they collect candy on Halloween, and another called Kiss My Valentine that allows users to make a shopping list of Valentine's Day gifts and pre-program special messages to be sent on Feb. 14.
How the company makes money: Irving purchased a public deals company called Monster Offers, and is looking at ways to coordinate the Iconosys app catalog with the daily deals offered through Monster Offers.
How they work: Iconosys has about 20 employees between Monster Offers and Iconosys. Irving picked the office location based on the strength of the cell tower signals nearby – for testing purposes. The company also outsources software development to India, Indonesia and New Zealand.
Challenges: The company started with Android apps but later expanded to iPhone applications as customers requested the platform. Developing for two platforms initially was costly, but eventually Iconosys started to use more Web-based components in the apps that could be shared. Now much of the code that goes into an app can be re-used, saving the company time and money producing an app for both.
What's next: "There's still plenty of time to build killer apps," Irving said.

That could change my mind.

After Chris Beall’s confirmation that he has been removed from his position at Platinum Studios, Deadline spoke by phone to both Beall and Scott Rosenberg for additional comment. Beall for his part remains adamant that Rosenberg’s tenure atop Platinum has been defined by mismanagement, reiterating in particular his claim that the transfer of a controlling share of Platinum Studios stocks was unethical because, he alleges, it is “an entity that Scott does have an ownership stake in.” Rosenberg disputes those claims without reservation, and speaking exclusively to Deadline, he said “I do not control Rip at all, and that’s from any legal standpoint, as anyone who would want to look at SEC records, accounting records, all legal avenues one can see, I do not control Rip.” Deadline has been told that further comment on the matter by Rip Media will follow.
