STMicroelectronics Samples World's Most Advanced Smart Card Chip Incorporating NCTI Technology
Monday November 24, 11:21 am ET
WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 24, 2003--NCT Group, Inc. (OTCBB: NCTI - News) today announced that its Java® chip technology licensed to STMicroelectronics on a royalty-bearing basis is now being sampled by STMicroelectronics to key customers. The ST22FJ1M chip, an advanced 32-bit smart card processor with 1mByte of embedded Flash memory, opens up a host of new market opportunities in the Mobile, Pay TV, IT security and Identification markets.
ADVERTISEMENT
The ST22FJ1M adds Page Flash and Standard Flash memory to ST's proven 32-bit SmartJ(TM) platform. The device offers a large (768Kbytes) User Flash memory for storing program code and 256Kbytes of Page Flash memory, which replaces the traditional EEPROM. A Flash Loader enables application code to be loaded or updated, while an additional 128Kbytes of User ROM is available to hold fixed routine libraries. Storing application code in Flash rather than Read-Only Memory (ROM) greatly increases the flexibility of the card by allowing personalization of generic products, software upgrades and post-issuance downloads.
Page Flash is a proprietary ST derivative of Standard Flash technology that offers the same fast programming time as Standard Flash but also allows individual data words (32-bits) to be erased in a few milliseconds and rewritten more than 100K times, thereby providing all the functional benefits of traditional EEPROM in a future-proof technology. The two types of Flash memory can be mixed on the same silicon chip at no additional cost and without any modification to the standard Flash manufacturing process.
The ST22FJ1M large memory capacity, unique combination of page and standard flash, and its high powered Java Card(TM) accelerated SmartJ(TM) core will enable end users to fully appreciate the advantages of full feature 3G/4G communications, whilst telecom operators will finally be able to have the Java/memory combination to provide a host of new customer orientated services. Other applications areas include high-end Pay TV solutions, embedded IT security and high-end ID solutions.
The technology bricks used to develop the ST22FJ1M were the fruit of the EsP@ss-is A302 MEDEA+ project, a leading industry-driven pan-European smart card project for advanced cooperative R&D.

(the "Company") (OTC BB:UNSP), one of the leading importers, packer, and distributor of specialty and gourmet foods and the first importer of fresh truffles into the U.S., today announced that the Company has merged its Los Angeles distribution and warehousing activities with California-based VanRex Gourment Foods,Inc., a privately-held, leading merchandiser of over 4,000 specialty food products.

About VanRex
VanRex Gourmet Foods began operations in 1981 as a division of a private mail order and solicitation gourmet food business. Within 6 months, VanRex purchased the parent company and was operating profitably. Due to the changing demographics in family sizes becoming smaller, the sprouting of regional shopping centers offering specialty foods products and the economic crises and inflation in the early 1980's, the Company recognized that it was unable to grow in that marketplace and needed other markets to survive. In 1982, the Company positioned itself to enter the food service and distribution market and started to grow. In 1988, the catalogue division was divested and the corporate name changed to VanRex Gourmet Foods, Inc. Sales continued to grow annually, primarily by the addition of product lines and sales representatives, and also by the opening of other distribution centers, while remaining in the specialty food market, and away from "center of the plate' products.
Today VanRex Gourmet Foods, Inc. has offices and warehouses in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Las Vegas with well over 2,000 customers. VanRex markets a range of approximately 4,000 products including: appetizers, grocery products, cheeses, baking products, bakery ingredients, and finished desserts. VanRex is particularly strong in imported specialties and delicacies; and constantly looking to bring new products to a growing customer base.

CHEF - Here is the news you asked for: CHEFS INTERNATIONAL RECEIVES OFFER TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OWNED BY ITS MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NEW JERSEY, NOVEMBER 21, 2003
Chefs International, Inc. ("CHEFS"), owner of a restaurant chain and currently operating ten restaurants in New Jersey and Florida (shares traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CHEF") announced today that it has received a proposal from the Lombardi Restaurant Group, Incorporated, a newly organized entity owned by Robert Lombardi, Anthony Lombardi, Joseph Lombardi, Michael Lombardi, and Stephen Lombardi (the "Lombardi Brothers") and their affiliates to acquire all of the outstanding shares of CHEFS common stock not owned by the Lombardi Brothers and their affiliates, for a cash purchase price of $1.75 per share. The proposal contemplates that the acquisition will take the form of a merger pursuant to which a newly formed acquisition corporation would be merged with CHEFS and the CHEFS stockholders other than the Lombardi Brothers and their affiliates would receive a cash payment for their shares of CHEFS common stock.
The five Lombardi Brothers and their affiliates currently own approximately 61% of CHEFS outstanding common stock. In addition, the Lombardi Brothers hold five of the eight seats on CHEFS' board of directors.
The proposal is subject to various conditions including the requirement that CHEFS' board of directors determines and recommends the acquisition price to be fair to the minority stockholders of CHEFS. The Board has appointed a Special Committee consisting of the three non-Lombardi Brother directors, Nicholas Boxter, Kenneth Cubelli, and Raymond Dademo, to review and analyze the proposal and to determine whether the Special Committee in its judgment deems the proposed acquisition price fair to CHEFS' minority stockholders.
There can be no assurance that the proposed acquisition will occur.

OT telebyte-
that one is the right board for that question:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=1757
OT - bbillybbass - I dont use eturd for t&s or anything, thus I dont need to get more acquainted with them or their platform at all - but thanks for your concerns.
hotstockmaker - I am looking for it to move till next friday. This week could be kinda slow due to thanksgiving. I exspect LNXGF to move up into the .20s this week, if it doenst I might get out by Friday. Not exspecting a big pop, but more of a steady rise like in most of the "F" stocks. Doesnt imply that I wouldn´t be happy with a big pop..........
"The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own."
Wow, veeeeeeeeeeeeery smart statement. I like it.
Have a good week.
OT - Answer to your PM: No t&s via etrade available, as far as I know.
ShowTheLight, no news out, been a rather quiet stock in past. Oil & Gas exploration, I like that sector. On close watch here.
What I´d like to know - how much was the After Hour volume?
IMO ....... NITE / SCHB / GNET seem to be the most powerful ones, NITE being the most powerful of them (they control the OTCBB world). If they are on bid, chances are that the price is going up. However, they can be deceptive and make you believe they are going to run the stock ... and then you buy and they take it down. Level II alone is not enough to make an entry decision: always use Intraday charts and indicators (and short trend and pressure), Time and sales, and keep an eye on the filings to see if insiders are dumping or if dilution is happening (s-8 etc). Consider O/S and float, too.
Also, TRAC and DATA are ECNs, meaning if you are a member of the ECN, you can "hire" them to get on bid or ask, which doesnt always imply that they are really buying or selling. I have seen them appear to make a bid look stronger or to tighten a spread, but very quickly, they were gone. I have seen them on the ARSW bid, showing 9999 bid each, making you believe that the bid was hiuge and the price was going to run. So some people hit the ask - however, there was NITE, selling new shares from an s-8 filed just that day. And guess what happened if you tried to sell...... the bid was gone.....
Mytrack is an electronic platform that enables MMs to sell to each other, so they might do the opposite of what it looks on Level II.
However, Level II can give great indications for exits, if NITE or one of the others mentioned above switches from Bid to Ask, it usually means a shake or final dip will occur.
Note that each stock may have another MM who is in charge of the action, the 3 above are just the ones that are generally quite powerful, from my experience. If you play a stock for more than just a quick momo, figure out who is doing what at that specific stock.
Moreover, note that MMs tend to use deceptive techniques and moves to maximize their own profit and to minimize yours. The people in charge at the MM are highly qualified, psychology-trained professional traders, and trading on the OTCBB involves competing with these persons.
Discipline and sticking to your trading rules is the only way to avoid losing money to them. Level II is a very powerful and important tool, but don´t make decisions based only on this one - because the MMs want your money, and they know how to get it......
Mrgoodtrade - I can only second that. Many people got on "Ignore" recently.
LNXGF - I am not worried. Today´s candle is a dragon fly doji, which is not the best we could get, but does not mean much by it self. It needs a confirmation if it should indicate bearish reversal. Some weak hands got shook off, but from the comments on this board today, some are still in. I cant understand the panic, I am up 20%, entry at .16 looking safe.
You should make up your mind how to play those breakouts. Either you get in quickly and very near to the breakout price, or you SCALP the breakout-momo (meaning getting in on the way up and selling with 1 or 2 upticks from your entry). Chasing and holding is not an option. Psychology will get you, and the MMs know that. Even if it turns out a long run, you will get red (shortly) and sell with a loss or flat. If you chatch the right entry, you can sit and watch quitly. Breakout trading is all about the right entry. How many from this board sold to NITE today? I bet you, quite a few.
What the MMs did today - I really didnt care. Nite bought all day. Gold is strong. Terror coming back (very unfortunaltely). No need to worry about LNXGF.
