OLGC - OrthoLogic Announces Results of Preliminary Interim Analysis of Phase 2b Clinical Trial of Chrysalin(R) (TP508) in Fracture Repair
Tuesday August 29, 4:00 pm ET


TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OrthoLogic Corp. (Nasdaq: OLGC - News) today announced results of an interim analysis of data from its Phase 2b dose-ranging clinical trial of the novel synthetic peptide Chrysalin® (TP508) in unstable, displaced distal radius (wrist) fractures.
Study Description

This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2b multi-site, five-arm dose-response study. The five arms correspond to Chrysalin dosages of 0 (placebo), 1, 3, 10, and 30 ug. Two hundred seventy-four subjects were enrolled at the time enrollment was interrupted, of whom 240 were evaluable. The study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these doses of Chrysalin on the rate of healing in adult subjects with unstable and/or displaced distal radius fractures. Subjects were randomized to receive a single 1 mL percutaneous injection of Chrysalin at one of the above doses, administered into the fracture site under fluoroscopic guidance.

Subjects were evaluated post-surgery at weeks 1-8, 10, 12, 26 and 52. The primary efficacy endpoint was time to removal of all rigid immobilization used to stabilize the fracture, defined as the time elapsed between the date of fracture surgery and the first study visit at which the investigator, based on clinical and radiographic assessments of healing, removed all rigid immobilization hardware.


Secondary efficacy endpoints included:

* Time to clinical and radiographic bone healing
* Assessment of the fractured wrist range of motion and grip strength
relative to the contralateral limb
* Clinical outcomes as measured by the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation
questionnaire

Safety was measured as incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events.

Study Results
In the dataset of 240 subjects as a group that were evaluable in the Phase 2b interim analysis, treatment with Chrysalin did not demonstrate benefit compared to placebo in the primary efficacy endpoint of time to removal of immobilization. Individual findings of efficacy in secondary endpoints, including radiographic healing, were not seen in this interim analysis. Further, no dose response relationship was observed.

The trial met the pre-specified safety endpoint by demonstrating no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the Chrysalin and placebo groups.

Based on these results, the Company has terminated the study with no further recruitment of subjects. The interim analysis will continue, and any significant findings will be disclosed as appropriate.

"We interrupted enrollment in the Phase 2b clinical trial in mid-March 2006 in order to perform the interim analysis of subjects enrolled to that date," commented Randolph C. Steer, MD, Ph.D., President of OrthoLogic. "This trial was not powered at the interim analysis stage to detect statistically significant differences among dose cohorts regarding the efficacy of Chrysalin. We had hoped to discern a dose response curve through this trial design."

Dr. Steer continued: "We intend to proceed with our planned approach to the U.S. and European regulatory authorities to discuss pathways forward for TP508 in fracture repair."

HMX - Hartmarx Announces Acquisition of 'One Girl Who . . .' Women's Business; 2006 Remains Challenging; Significant 2007 Earnings Recovery Anticipated
Tuesday August 29, 4:01 pm ET


CHICAGO, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hartmarx Corporation (NYSE: HMX - News) today announced that it has acquired the business of Sweater.com, Inc., including its "One Girl Who . . ." brand. The business designs and markets high quality women's knitwear, tops and related products to leading specialty stores nationwide and directly through its Sweater.com website.


Homi B. Patel, chairman and chief executive officer of Hartmarx, commented, "This acquisition is another step in our stated strategy of reducing our dependence on men's tailored clothing products marketed through the mainstream department store channel and redeploying these assets in luxury or bridge businesses sold to upscale stores. For fiscal 2007, this new acquisition is anticipated to contribute approximately $15 million in sales and be accretive to diluted earnings per share by $.02 - $.03."

Mr. Patel continued, "Fiscal 2006 continues to be an extremely challenging year for us with our performance being adversely affected by the uncertainty, disruption and shipping delays, caused principally by the consolidation and ownership changes in the mainstream department store sector. We do not believe this is a temporary phenomenon which will self-correct over time. Accordingly, we are aggressively pruning those programs that are not contributing sufficient profit margins, streamlining capacities, tightening the supply chain, cutting costs and converting working capital tied up in these programs to cash. We continue to look at other acquisition candidates and to repurchase additional Hartmarx shares pursuant to the previously announced authorization to acquire up to 2 million common shares. As of August 28th, Hartmarx has repurchased approximately 1,168,000 shares at an average cost of $6.74. Collectively, all of these actions should contribute to a significant earnings rebound in 2007 and put us back on track toward achieving our long-term earnings objectives."

Mr. Patel added, "The 'One Girl Who . . ." brand is marketed nationwide through more than 1,000 specialty store accounts and has developed a strong following among its core consumers. The brand complements our other women's businesses which target the 30 year and older woman with high disposable income looking for flattering, yet comfortable fashion. We see additional future opportunities for product line extensions in bottoms, including denim. We are very pleased that the founders of the business, Bruce Gifford and Dan Jaffe, have agreed to continue in their current responsibilities under five- year employment agreements as president and executive vice president, respectively. This Los Angeles-based operation will operate as an autonomous business operating unit within the Hartmarx Women's Apparel Group," Mr. Patel concluded.

The "One Girl Who . . ." management team will continue to report to Bruce Gifford. Mr. Gifford commented, "We are very excited to become a member of the Hartmarx family of companies which share our values of quality and controlled retail distribution to specialty stores. Our affiliation will better enable us to expand our product offerings, further develop the internet capabilities of our direct-to-consumer Sweater.com website, and achieve our sales and earnings growth objectives."

The terms of the transaction include a cash payment at closing of $12.4 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. This all cash transaction has been financed from internally generated cash flow utilizing the availability under the Hartmarx senior credit facility. Additional contingent amounts would be payable annually over a five-year period if specified earnings levels are achieved.

Hartmarx produces and markets business, casual and golf apparel under its own brands, including Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey-Freeman, Palm Beach, Coppley, Cambridge, Keithmoor, Society Brand, Racquet Club, Naturalife, Pusser's of the West Indies, Royal, Brannoch, Sansabelt, Exclusively Misook, Barrie Pace, Christopher Blue, Worn and L. Paseo. In addition, the Company has certain exclusive rights under licensing agreements to market selected products under a number of premier brands such as Austin Reed, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Burberry men's tailored clothing, Ted Baker, Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Claiborne, DKNY Donna Karan New York, Pierre Cardin, Perry Ellis, Jeffrey Banks, Jhane Barnes, Lyle & Scott, Golden Bear, Jag and Starington. The Company's broad range of distribution channels includes fine specialty and leading department stores, value-oriented retailers and direct mail catalogs.

Oil Up Slightly Ahead of Inventories
Wednesday August 30, 8:31 am ET
Oil Prices Up Slightly; Traders Await U.S. Inventory, Watching Iran Standoff


LONDON (AP) -- Oil prices rose Wednesday as traders awaited the weekly U.S. inventories report as well as the upcoming United Nations deadline for Iran to halt uranium enrichment.
Light sweet crude for October delivery rose 29 cents to $70.00 a barrel in morning European electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The increase follows two days of sharp drops that brought oil futures to $69.71 a barrel, roughly 10 percent below their level of three weeks ago. October Brent crude at London's ICE Futures Exchange gained 57 cents to trade at $70.43 a barrel.




Prices have fallen this week amid relief that a weaker tropical storm Ernesto, which landed in Florida late Tuesday, appeared to be of little threat to Gulf of Mexico oil facilities.

Traders have since turned their attention to Iran and the release later Wednesday of the weekly petroleum supply report by the U.S. Department of Energy. A survey by Dow Jones Newswires forecasts lower crude and gasoline inventories.

Still, the market remains anxious about Iran's diplomatic stand-off with the West over its nuclear program. Traders are concerned that Iran, the world's fourth-biggest oil producer, could block oil exports if the U.N. imposes sanctions over its nuclear program. Tehran faces a Thursday deadline to halt uranium enrichment or face possible economic and diplomatic sanctions, but has so far refused any immediate suspension.

Iran is a leading global oil exporter and has made threats in recent months to choke off the Strait of Hormuz -- through which 20 percent of the world's supply passes every day -- in retaliation for sanctions.

Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer said Tuesday that Iran is "the single largest political risk" to the oil market in terms of the likelihood that supply could be taken off the market at some point, the near-term timeframe in which something could happen and the potential scale of the impact.

"There are a lot of cards they can play," Bremmer said, including disrupting oil production and transportation in southern Iraq and taking a small amount of their own oil off the market.

In other Nymex trading, natural gas futures fell 24.6 cents to $6.630 per 1,000 cubic feet, while gasoline futures climbed 1.26 cents to $1.8018 a gallon and heating oil futures rose 1.88 cents to $1.9470 a gallon.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the company's cash and investment balances grew by $4.4 million to $54.0 million as of July 31, 2006.

As specified in the attached reconciliation of net income (loss) as reported to pro forma net income (loss), the fourth quarter fiscal 2006 net income was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to the fourth quarter fiscal 2005 net loss of ($1.2) million, or ($0.02) per share.

Recent Highlights


-- Customers. Through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, VA Software
sold the SourceForge Enterprise Edition solution to a total of 164
customers. During the quarter, Cambrian House, IGN Entertainment, Inc.,
Beta Systems Software, AG, and WPS Parking Systems, B.V. were added to the
installed base. In addition, existing customers including Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratories, MetaSolv Software, Inc., Myrio
Corporation, TNO-FEL, and Verisign, Inc. purchased additional SourceForge

for 15 users. This product provides prospective customers a convenient way
to evaluate and test SourceForge for proprietary development projects.
Additionally, new enhancements were made to SourceForge Enterprise Edition
to make it more scalable, secure and easier to use.

-- SourceForge.net.® As part of an ongoing site re-architecture to
optimize the user experience, the world's largest Open Source collaborative
technology site has further enhanced its site and project search
capabilities. SourceForge.net community members are now better able to
navigate among the site's nearly 128,000 Open Source projects. We enhanced
sorting and filtering options available on SourceForge.net, which, coupled
with advanced project and tool search capabilities, enable visitors to
quickly search the site's vast content.
The addition of the new search capabilities is the latest change in a series of new services and upgrades to the site performed this year. In May, the SourceForge.net team upgraded the mailing list management software that powers more than 1.2 million community e-mails daily. In February, SourceForge.net launched its Subversion software configuration management (SCM) service. The use of SourceForge.net's Subversion offering has grown dramatically, attracting nearly 8,000 projects. Recent enhancements to the Subversion service enable projects to link to external repositories not hosted on the SourceForge.net site. This new linking capability will soon be extended to enable project administrators to offer users access to external tools or services, including documentation Wikis.

Slashdot and OSTG. In an effort to better meet the needs of the visitors to our sites, we have invested in additional infrastructure and software to improve site performance and load times on Slashdot and our IT focused sites. These improvements enable the community to contribute to and access the content on the sites efficiently and effectively.

In June, the Slashdot team launched, managed and executed upon the first major re-designs of the Slashdot site since its inception. The team engaged the community for design submissions and received over 250 entries from Slashdot visitors, they chose a winner and executed upon the winning design. Slashdot has also introduced additional capabilities such as: incorporating a user particpatory AJAX powered content tagging system; a bookmarking system to improve the user submission experience, improved layout of the site's index to increase visibility of sectional content; and added greater context to articles by linking them to our archives.

The OSTG Network as a whole serves nearly 30 million unique visitors monthly.* This ranks OSTG among the top technology networks both in terms of size and reach. Advertisers and sponsors of the OSTG Network include Microsoft, IBM, HP, AMD, EMC, Lenovo, Intel, Perforce, Novell, Rackspace, and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (* Source: Google Analytics and Omniture, July 2006.)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, VA Software uses non-GAAP financial results. Non-GAAP net loss and loss per share exclude amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation, as well as restructuring costs and other special charges. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, VA Software believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain unusual expenses that VA Software believes are not indicative of core operating results. In addition, because VA Software has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, VA Software believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The method VA Software uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

VSNT - Versant Announces Record Quarterly Income From Continuing Operations of $1.0 Million
Tuesday August 29, 4:10 pm ET
Cash Increase of approximately $1.4 Million from the previous quarter.
Company raises fiscal year 2006 net income target to $1 per share.


FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Versant Corporation (Nasdaq: VSNT - News), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its operating results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2006.



For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $3.8 million from its continuing operations, compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of approximately 9%. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $1.0 million, representing the highest income from operations since Versant's Initial Public Offering in 1996.

Net income for the quarter was also $1.0 million and diluted net income per share was $0.28, compared to a net loss of $14.4 million and net loss per share of $4.04 for the comparable period last year.

Versant also reported positive cash flows from its operating activities of approximately $1.2 million for the quarter, resulting in a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $7.3 million as of July 31, 2006. This cash and cash equivalents position represents an increase of $3.3 million compared to $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents at the Company's most recent fiscal year end at October 31, 2005 and an increase of approximately $1.4 million compared to $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the Company's last fiscal quarter.

During the quarter the Company also closed and received payment for a multi-year maintenance agreement with a European customer for a total of $0.9 million, which will be recognized ratably over a five-year period as maintenance revenue.

"Record quarterly income, strong cash flow and an increase in maintenance backlog are very good news in any quarter. Given the fact that our third quarter is typically a weaker quarter, we are exceptionally pleased with these results," said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. Mr. Witte also noted that total operating expenses for the quarter were approximately $2.3 million, down somewhat from operating expenses of $2.4 million and $3.0 million for the Company's two most recent fiscal quarters ended April 30 and January 31, 2006, respectively.

"Our net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2006, inclusive of the gain from sale of our WebSphere practice, has already met the top end of our previously announced range of targeted net income for fiscal 2006. We are therefore raising our net income guidance to approximately $3.5 million or $1.00 per diluted share for fiscal 2006," added Mr. Witte.

SUNH - Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. to Sell SunPlus Home Health Services, Inc. and Acquire Preferred Hospice of Oklahoma, Inc.
Tuesday August 29, 4:15 pm ET


IRVINE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 29, 2006 -- Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNH - News) today announced that it has agreed to sell SunPlus Home Health Services, Inc. to AccentCare Home Health, Inc. for a purchase price of $19.3 million. SunPlus is a subsidiary of Sun that provides skilled home health care, non-skilled home care, as well as home pharmacy services in California and Ohio.



"This transaction is consistent with our focus on fine-tuning our portfolio to operate businesses that further our goal of margin improvement and provide inherent value to our core inpatient business, as is the case with our remaining ancillary business segments," said Richard K. Matros, Sun's chairman and chief executive officer. "This divestiture will close late enough in the year that we do not anticipate any change to our guidance," Matros continued. "I would like to take this time to thank the employees of SunPlus for their valued contribution to Sun HealthCare Group through the most trying of times. I have been associated with many of these employees during the days of Care Enterprises and Regency Health Services when this same segment was part of those companies. They are in good hands with AccentCare," Matros said.

Consummation of the sale is contingent upon regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of a number of other customary legal and business conditions. Sun anticipates closing the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Sun also announced that it has agreed to purchase Preferred Hospice of Oklahoma, Inc., which operates two hospice programs in Oklahoma, and buy out the management agreement for the management of five hospice programs that are owned by Sun subsidiaries in Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico. Upon completion of this transaction, Sun subsidiaries will own and operate seven hospice programs. Consummation of the purchase is contingent upon regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of a number of other customary legal and business conditions. Sun anticipates closing the transaction later this month.

"Buying out the management agreement gives us full control of the hospice offices that had been outsourced, thereby providing greater value to the company. The acquisition of the two offices in Oklahoma consolidates our presence in that state," said Mr. Matros. "While this is a small business for us at this point, it provides a good base for earnings expansion going forward and is consistent, along with the sale of SunPlus, of our stated strategic objectives," Matros said.

CHB - Genesis Modular Construction Chosen by NOLA Homebuilder to Supply High-Quality, Durable, Post-Disaster Temporary FEMA Housing Option
Tuesday August 29, 4:16 pm ET


AUBURN HILLS, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 29, 2006 -- Genesis Homes, a member of the Champion family of homebuilders (NYSE:CHB - News), and the largest nationwide builder of modular homes, today announced it has been selected by NOLA to build a modular home for use in temporary housing proposals to FEMA. The bungalow-style homes will provide unmatched durability and a 150 mph wind rating, features which are superior to those on shelters supplied by FEMA to date.
Source: Champion Homes



As the Government explores new temporary emergency housing solutions for future disasters under a $400 MM test program, NOLA hopes to replace FEMA-issued travel trailers and mobile homes with the durable and high-quality NOLA Bungalow which can be used many times over by FEMA.

"I chose Champion's Genesis brand due to its superior quality, design features and the comfort, convenience, and quality of life the construction provides to post-disaster victims," said Troy Von Otnott, NOLA chief executive officer. "This product supplies features that are not available in any other FEMA-supplied options."

The 455-sq.-ft. home was unveiled to city, state, federal officials, Government contractors and the public on August 28 and 29 in New Orleans. It includes two bedrooms, one full bath, efficiency kitchen, dining and living rooms. A front porch is included for architectural design detail. The home will be available for public viewing through November 2006.

"Champion, through its Genesis brand, offers NOLA multi-plant capacity to meet large volume requirements, as well as options for single and multi-family projects," says Kevin Flaherty, vice-president of sales and marketing for Champion's Genesis Homes.

Beyond Genesis' superior construction is the Telepier(TM) temporary foundation system, which can be installed by three people in four hours and provides wind rating of 150 mph. Once the occupant has found permanent housing, the highly durable home can be removed or relocated.

"We are very pleased to work with NOLA on this project," said Kevin Flaherty. "It is extremely gratifying to offer the best features of permanent construction in a solution that can be provided quickly to those who need it the most."

New Orleans modular home company, NOLA Homebuilder, supplies modular housing to New Orleans and suburban neighborhoods. All housing options are firmly rooted in the New Orleans architecture tradition and incorporate the latest energy saving building technologies.

Summary of operating results for the 2nd quarter and first 6 months of 2006

For the second Quarter of 2006, the Company mined 21,594 tonnes grading 4.86g/t Au, 185g/t Ag, 0.81% Pb and 1.15% Zn from the sulfide zone of the Santa Juana mine. As for development, 33 meters of ramp, 187 meters of drifts, 194 meters of raises and 5 meters of cross-cuts were driven.

At the mill, 19,560 tonnes grading 5.85 g/t Au, 243 g/t Ag, 0.70% Pb and 1.00% Zn were processed to produce 286 tonnes of lead concentrate grading 7.82 g/t Au, 7,836 g/t Ag and 22.1% Pb and 184 tonnes of zinc concentrate grading 2,525g/t Ag and 40.1% Zn. These concentrates contained 72 ounces of gold, 87,091 ounces of silver, 139,168 pounds of lead and 162,638 pounds of zinc. The daily production for the Quarter averaged 254 tonnes per day, a 32% increase over the average daily production of 192 tonnes of the first Quarter. The Company expects to achieve further increases in average daily production in the third Quarter.

Also, as of June 30, 2006, approximately 15,000 ounces of recoverable gold were stored in the tailings pond awaiting the completion of the flotation circuit necessary to produce the gold/pyrite concentrate.

For the six months period ended of 2006, the Company mined 36,616 tonnes grading 4.71g/t Au, 209g/t Ag, 0.80% Pb and 1.20% Zn from the sulfide zone of the Santa Juana mine. As for development, 33 meters of ramp, 567 meters of drifts, 194 meters of raises and 5 meters of cross-cuts were driven.

At the mill, 34,157 tonnes grading 6.26g/t Au, 272g/t Ag, 0.82% Pb and 1.23% Zn were processed to produce 516 tonnes of lead concentrate grading 7.74 g/t Au, 8,979 g/t Ag and 24.6 % Pb and 400 tonnes of zinc concentrate grading 2,054 g/t Ag and 42.1 % Zn. These concentrates contained 128 ounces of gold, 175,237 ounces of silver, 279,477 pounds of lead and 370,270 pounds of zinc. Furthermore, for the period, approximately 6,350 ounces of recoverable gold were stored in the tailings pond awaiting the completion of the flotation circuit necessary to produce the gold/pyrite concentrate.

Corporate Development in second quarter:

During the second quarter, the Company announced the completion of a new National Instrument 43-101 report. The key points of this report are:

- Indicated Resources reaches 1.4M tonnes or 17.4 Million ounces of silver equivalent a 42% increase from last NI 43-101 compliant technical report;

- Inferred Resources reaches 6.3M tonnes or 81 Million ounces of silver equivalent a 608% increase from last NI 43-101 compliant technical report;

- Additional potential for 2.8 to 4.0M tonnes or 35 to 47 Million ounces of silver equivalent with further testing;

- The new Resources report demonstrates and justifies the need to significantly increase production;

- Numerous veins and recent discoveries, such as skarns (#1, #2) and stockwork zones are NOT included in this report despite the 42% increase in Indicated Resources and 608% in the Inferred Resources.

Corporate Developments subsequent to June 30, 2006:

Completes deal with Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V.:

The Company is pleased to announce that it has finalized the agreement with Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V. to acquire a 35 hectares land package including the land underlying the mine surface installations and the mill site.

This is an important step for the Company because it now has sufficient surface rights to expand its mill and ancillaries installations or to build a new one.

Pyrite Circuit:

The process to select a metallurgical process that would maximize the Company's ore value and construct a pyrite circuit began in September of 2005 with the hiring of Dr. Javier Ramï¿1/2rez. Although this undertaking has taken more time then we first anticipated, given the significant impact this process will have on the future cash flows of the Company, it was critical that the ideal method was chosen before implementation and construction began.

The Company is pleased to announce that the construction of our one hundred percent owned and operated pyrite circuit is completed. There will be a commissioning period over the next 2-6 weeks, but we expect to have the plant operating near full capacity by the last quarter of 2006. We fully expect the utilization of the pyrite circuit to improve our revenues going forward.

Future Expansion of production:

Although the Company believes and has every intention of growing revenues with our current over 300t/d mill and pyrite circuit, the major discoveries over the past few months have opened up the possibility where bulk mining methods for a portion of the veins system might better serve the Company in the future. To that end, the Company, with the help of outside professional expertise, is closely assessing and fine tuning the economical model that will be most efficient for our Company.

Simply stated, due to our on-going drilling successes, our initial plan that a thousand tonne per day (1000t/d) operation would be the next step of expansion is no longer the case as it might not be sufficient to properly handle the production capacity and capability of our mines. Given the costs and time required to purchase and implement a larger mill, the Company is taking every step to insure that the right decision will be made. In the meantime, we will continue to accelerate the exploration program with the incoming drills and new mining equipment that we expect to arrive by late September, 2006.

On- site Laboratory:

The Company would also like to announce the completion of our field test laboratory. This will be a crucial asset for the Company to have given:

1) That our drilling program is about to accelerate with the arrivals of new drills and equipment;

2) Our waiting time will be cut by 80% given the high demand and stress being placed on Labs across Mexico due to the important increase in exploration by many mining companies;

3) Our assaying expenses will be reduced by at least 50% as only tests assays will be sent to independent labs for validation purposes;

4) Will shorten the time for the Company to make a final future production decision as drilling data will be received and evaluated at a much faster rate going forward.

The Company feels it has placed itself in a prudent position with the steady operations of the mill, with the construction of the pyrite circuit, and the construction of our on-site laboratory. As the Company continues its exploration program in an attempt to discover the feeder system at our Santa Juana mine and assess future operation expansion, the current mill and mine will provide a steady stream of internally generated cash flows. But at the same time, we will be using our entire current milling and mining operations as a real live "test pilot" for our future growth plans.

ECU Silver Mining Inc is a junior Gold, Silver, Zinc and Lead producer in the prolific mining district of Velardena, Mexico where historically over 500,000 ounces of gold and 250,000,000 ounces of silver have been mined. Full scale production began in May 2005 at the Company's Santa Juana mine.

Economy Grows at a 2.9 Percent Pace
Wednesday August 30, 8:40 am ET
By Jeannine Aversa, AP Economics Writer
Economy Grows at a 2.9 Percent Pace in Spring, Commerce Department Says


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The economy grew at a 2.9 percent annual rate in the spring -- better than first estimated but nowhere near the brisk pace logged in the winter, another sign of slowing business growth. Inflation marched higher.
The latest snapshot of economic activity, released by the Commerce Department Wednesday, showed that gross domestic product in the April-to-June quarter increased slightly more than the 2.5 percent pace first reported a month ago. That upgrade mostly reflected an improvement in the country's trade picture and stronger inventory building by businesses.

The upward revision, though, didn't change the big picture of the economy: In the spring, it slowed sharply from the first quarter's 5.6 percent pace, the strongest growth spurt in 2 1/2 years, as consumers and businesses tightened the belt.

TRBM - Proxim Wireless Enables "Outside-In" Residential High-Rise Wi-Fi System
Tuesday August 29, 5:55 pm ET


Network Connects to Wireless "Backbone" Inside Building


SAN JOSE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 29, 2006 -- Proxim Wireless Corporation, a global manufacturer of broadband wireless equipment and wholly owned subsidiary of Terabeam, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRBM - News), today announced that its ORiNOCO® broadband wireless access points are powering Chicago's largest residential high-rise Wi-Fi system with "Proxim outside." With 656 apartment units, the 43-story building has the most units in the city linked by a single Wi-Fi system, offering residents free Internet access without the need for DSL, cable, or a router. The network has been designed and installed by MDI Access, a Proxim Wireless partner, for Draper and Kramer, Incorporated, a Chicago-based property and financial services company.
Proxim Wireless ORiNOCO access points -- installed on the exterior of 1130 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago -- connect to a wireless "backbone" inside the building, providing "outside in" Internet access to all residents. Proxim's mesh technology simplifies Wi-Fi deployments such as this through the ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol (OMCP), which allows creation of self-forming and self-healing non-line of sight (NLOS) mesh networks. Proxim's Wi-Fi mesh products feature a dual-radio configuration, increasing system capacity by allowing one radio to focus on Wi-Fi access and the other radio to perform mesh backhaul duties.




"Proxim outside" installation saves money, time, and inconvenience

According to Bob Heiderscheidt, president of MDI Access, "Our customer, Draper and Kramer, was very clear that rewiring the building was not an option because of the high cost, that they wanted wireless, and that they wanted it for less than half the price of a wired solution. MDI Access and Proxim Wireless delivered on all counts."

Now as a result, residents receive free wireless Internet access as part of the building's amenities package without the need for land-based telephone lines, cable service, or routers. Heiderscheidt pointed out that the new "Proxim outside" system covers the entire building with Wi-Fi signals and works much better than other Wi-Fi approaches tested. It also eliminated the need to run new wires and cables through stairways, corridors, and residents' units.

"Proxim Outside" Increases Reach of Municipal Networks

Vertical wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments in high-rises such as that of 1130 Michigan Avenue supplement municipal network deployments, which are focused primarily at people on the street and in cafés. "What we've done using 'Proxim outside' is take your typical municipal layout and turn it 90 degrees," said Heiderscheidt. "We were able to do this because Proxim's products are easy to use and configure, and they just work. That's good news for cities deploying municipal networks and those whose networks will ultimately tie into them."

Proxim Wireless has the depth of experience and breadth of product portfolio to offer end-to-end municipal wireless solutions that meet a wide variety of network needs, including supporting older high-rise buildings such as 1130 Michigan Avenue with "Proxim outside." Proxim Wireless provides the entire solution: a complete, advanced network encompassing backhaul, middle mile, edge access, client devices, and network optimization.

This product breadth delivers a number of advantages to municipalities. First, cities are able to deal with a single vendor for all their networking needs, thereby increasing personnel efficiency and speed of deployment. Second, municipalities can receive products that have been engineered and designed to work together, rather than worrying about interoperability of products acquired from multiple vendors. Third, for support after the sale, cities can place a single call to Proxim Wireless to resolve questions rather than calling multiple vendors.

"Proxim Wireless is pleased to join MDI Access and Draper and Kramer in delivering a broadband access solution that sets a new standard for high-rise Wi-Fi deployments in older buildings where rewiring is cost-prohibitive," said Geoff Smith, Proxim Wireless vice president of worldwide marketing. "We look forward to working with MDI Access as they bring wireless broadband access to additional properties in the Draper and Kramer portfolio with 'Proxim outside' Wi-Fi."

About Proxim Wireless

Proxim Wireless Corporation is a global pioneer in developing and supplying scalable broadband wireless networking systems to enterprises, municipalities and service providers. From Wi-Fi to wireless Gigabit Ethernet -- our WLAN, WiMAX, mesh and point-to-point products are available through our extensive global channel network, backed by world-class support. Proxim is a Principal Member of the WiMAX Forum and is ISO-9001 certified. Additional information about Proxim Wireless can be found at http://www.proxim.com.

CPHD - Cepheid Awarded $3.3 Million STTR NIH/NIAID Grant for TB Test Development
Wednesday August 30, 7:00 am ET
Program Complements Previously Funded TB Program with FIND


SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today announced the receipt of Phase 2 funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) for their Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant entitled, "Sample Processing Cartridges for Rapid PCR TB Detection." Cepheid's academic partner for this program is Dr. David Alland, of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ).


Cepheid and UMDNJ previously announced a program for development of an easy-to-use PCR cartridge that detects the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and also predicts drug resistance in about one hour. This program is being supported by FIND, a Geneva-based non-profit organization partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The newly awarded NIAID funding will complement these efforts by focusing on development of sample collection devices and on development of proprietary nucleic acid dyes, quenchers, interpretive software and other technologies associated with commercial implementation of a 6-color GeneXpert system. The ultimate goal of both programs is to develop a rapid test with accuracy that is equal to or better than current methods, thus shifting the burden away from culture techniques which require weeks to months to generate the same results.

"Our GeneXpert system enabled the recent attainment of the first ever moderate complexity categorization for a PCR-based assay. This gives us confidence that we can deliver, for use in developed and developing countries alike, rich-featured molecular diagnostics assays that provide medically actionable results in real time," said David Persing, MD, PhD, Cepheid's Chief Medical and Technology Officer and Principal Investigator on the award. "We are delighted that NIAID has recognized the ability of the GeneXpert system to deliver the most sophisticated molecular diagnostics capabilities for tuberculosis to areas of the world that need it most. At the same time, we believe that the same platform technology will enable this test to be performed on a STAT basis for at-risk patients presenting to hospitals and clinics in the US and developed countries around the world."

About the GeneXpert System

The GeneXpert System is the only molecular diagnostic system to combine sample preparation with real time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification, detection functions and internal controls for fully integrated and automated nucleic acid analysis. The system is designed to purify, concentrate, detect and identify targeted nucleic acid sequences and deliver answers from unprocessed samples. Cepheid's Xpert GBS test was recently cleared by the FDA for in vitro diagnostic use under the "Moderately Complex" CLIA category, the first-ever such designation for a PCR-based test.

Representing a major paradigm shift in the automation of molecular diagnostics, the GeneXpert System enables unprecedented speed and ease-of-use in the clinical environment.

About Cepheid

Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and markets fully-integrated systems for genetic analysis in the clinical, industrial and biothreat markets. The company's systems enable rapid, sophisticated genetic testing for organisms and genetic-based diseases by automating otherwise complex manual laboratory procedures. The company's easy-to-use systems integrate a number of complicated and time-intensive steps, including sample preparation, DNA amplification and detection, which enable the analysis of complex biological samples in its proprietary test cartridges. Through its strong molecular biology capabilities, the company is focusing on those applications where rapid molecular testing is particularly important, such as identifying infectious disease and cancer in the clinical market; food, agricultural, and environmental testing in the industrial market; and identifying bio-terrorism agents in the biothreat market. See www.cepheid.com for more information.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are not purely historical regarding Cepheid's or its management's intentions, beliefs, expectations and strategies for the future, including those relating to product performance and usage in the clinical diagnostics market and future products for the clinical market. Because such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from the company's current expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include risks and uncertainties such as those relating to: unforeseen development and manufacturing problems; our ability to successfully obtain regulatory approvals for additional products and to introduce new products in the clinical market; customer market acceptance of new products; the failure of products to perform as expected, whether due to manufacturing errors, defects or otherwise; the impact of competitive products and pricing; potentially lengthy sales cycles in some markets; reimbursement rates for the products; and underlying market conditions worldwide. Readers should also refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Cepheid's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2005 and in its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements and reasons why results might differ included in this release are made as of the date of this press release, based on information currently available to Cepheid, and Cepheid assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement or reasons why results might differ.

MRGE - Merge Tech Files 2005, 1Q 2006 Reports
Wednesday August 30, 7:29 am ET
Merge Technologies Files Delayed Reports, Asks for Extension to File 2Q Results; Shares Jump


MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Merge Technologies Inc., a maker of medical imaging software and equipment, said Wednesday it has now filed delayed financial statements for 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. The news sent shares up nearly 11 percent in the premarket session.
However, the company was unable to file its second-quarter report, and requested an extension from Nasdaq until Sept. 8. Nasdaq had warned Merge earlier this month that it faced delisting if it did not file all financial reports by Tuesday.

Merge said it will hold a conference call "promptly" following the filing of its latest report.

In early July, the company said it had uncovered improper accounting that required it to restate financial reports from 2002 to 2005 and prompted the resignation of three executives, including its then-interim CEO, William Mortimore.

In electronic premarket trading, Merge shares jumped 75 cents, or 10.5 percent, to $7.87.

CHINA - China.com Launches US$20 Million Online Games Developer Program
Wednesday August 30, 7:30 am ET


BEIJING, Aug. 30 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CDC Games a wholly owned subsidiary of China.com (Hong Kong GEM Stock Code: 8006), a business unit of CDC Corporation (Nasdaq: CHINA), today announced its Online Games Developer Program, which includes US$20 million earmarked for investment in strategic game development partners. CDC Games will establish strategic relationships with selected franchise partners to accelerate the development of new original online games targeted specifically for the China market.



China.com will select participating developers from Japan, Korea, China, the United States as well as Europe, India and Australia with long-standing, successful track records in the development of top quality and successful online games, and the vision and innovative skill to develop games from the ground up that will be cultural attractive to the vast and growing China gaming user base.

"China is just at the very beginning of its evolution of developing its entertainment, and gaming sector, and we believe the next step is in providing games that are culturally aware, entertaining and educational to the millions of online game users in the China market," said Fred Wang, Chairman for CDC Games and independent director of CDC. "We will also use our substantial cash reserves to help fund the development of online games in partnership with our game development partners, to bring unique titles to the China market as well as export them to the world, which would supplement in the long term games that we license from our partners today. We believe that this strategy will increase our operating margins over the long term as we will be part owners of the intellectual property rather than just a mere licensee. This program is based on the franchise partnership rolled out by CDC Games' sister company, CDC Software, earlier this year which has been very well received in the enterprise software market"

Through direct cash investments, equity investments, lines of credit or a combination of these, CDC Games will invest up to US$20 million in selected game development partners on a case-by-case basis. The investments will be used to help these partners build China culturally aware titles, and will be complemented by market research and game research from CDC Games experienced marketing and research team. CDC Games has over 30 million registered users, which allows it to data mine for specific likes and dislikes among users, to help provide the research to support the selected development partners in building titles that will appeal to the China market.

''Recently CDC Games has visited potential game development partners in Japan, Korea, China and the United States and we were impressed not only by the continual innovation of PC Online games under development for their home and overseas market, but the willingness and eagerness for developers to tap specifically into the largest PC online game market in the world,'' said Antony Yip, Vice Chairman for CDC Games and independent director of CDC Games. ''We believe that this is one of the most innovative programs aimed at fostering game development for the China market by encouraging the distribution partner and developer to work side by side through the development cycle. We believe it will greatly increase the value add to our partners and the chances of success for their titles in the China market.''

The Online Games Developer Program will be managed by Dr. Xiaowei Chen, Chief Executive Officer of CDC Games and Chief Financial Officer of China.com Inc. The company is now finalizing initial investments in several existing partners.

ETGMF - Entourage Mining Identifies Multiple Uranium Targets on Doran Property With Values up to the Detection Limit of 4.7 Lb/t -- .235 Percent U3O8
Wednesday August 30, 7:30 am ET


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 30, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Entourage Mining Ltd. (the ``Company or ''Entourage``) (OTC BB:ETGMF.OB - News) is pleased to announce chemical analysis results of the Doran (north) rock sampling program. The comprehensive rock saw channel sampling program was successful in identifying previously unrecognized uranium targets. A total of twelve anomalies (N, X, L, Y, R, H, K, I, G, E, A, S) were tested. Selected highlights of the chemical results are as follows:


Anomaly N returned values between 1.77Lb/t U3O8 across 3 meters and over 4.7 Lb/t U3O8 across 1.5 meters (this value is over the detection limit and the Company is waiting for a final results from ACME Laboratories). Another sample returned over 3 Lb/t U3O8 over 1.50 meters.

Anomaly X tested by six samples: one sample above 2 Lb/t U3O8, one sample over 1 Lb/t U3O8, three samples returned values over 0.5 Lb/t U3O8 and 1 sample returned a value less than 0.5 Lb/t U3O8. Sample widths varied between 1 and 5 meters.

Anomaly L is characterized by a north-south trending radioactive pegmatitic ridge approximately 200 meters long by 80 meters wide; a total of 18 rock channel samples were collected, six samples returned values over 1 Lb/t U3O8, 7 samples returned values between 0.5 Lb/t U3O8 and 1 Lb/t U3O8 and 5 samples returned values less than 0.5 Lb/t U3O8. Sample widths varied between 1 and 12 meters.

(All values (t) refer to short tons)

Anomalies A, E, G, H, K R and Y all returned elevated values of U3O8 and the results of these samples are available on the Company web site (http://www.entouragemining.com) under Projects-Doran.

A total of 63 rock saw samples were tested of which four samples returned over 2 Lb/t U3O8, 13 samples returned values of more than 1 Lb/t U3O8, 15 samples returned values greater than .5Lb/t U3O8 and 12 samples above .25Lb/t U3O8. A detailed interpretation of the results is underway by the project geologist Mr. Michel Proulx (a ``Qualified Person'' as that term is defined in NI 43-101) and a drilling program is being designed to test anomalies N, X and L before the end of the season. Since the number of drill targets is high, the Company will not be able to drill all of the anomalies in this drilling season. The Company is planning to drill the remaining anomalies early next season (February 2007); additional holes in the Main Zone, situated in the southern portion of the property, are also planned. The Main Zone was drilled in May 2006. Mr. Proulx has reviewed the technical aspects of this news release.

Entourage management is pleased with the newly recognized radioactive zones as well as the sampling results and the identification of multiple uranium targets on the Doran property with values up to the detection limit of 4.7 Lb/t U3O8 (.235% U3O8). The Doran property is located just north of provincial highway 138 in southeastern Quebec, along the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 25 kilometers west of Aguanish and approximately 109 kilometers east of Havre St. Pierre. Hydroelectric lines are located one kilometer north of highway 138.

Stock Futures Flat After Costco Warning
Wednesday August 30, 7:10 am ET
Stock Futures Flat on Costco Warning and Rising Oil Prices; Nikkei Closes Down


LONDON (AP) -- U.S. stock market futures were pointing to a staid start on Wednesday after a profit warning from discount retailer Costco Wholesale Corp. and as crude-oil futures reclaimed the $70-a-barrel level.


S&P 500 futures rose half a point at 1,305.60 and Nasdaq 100 futures were flat at 1,576.00. Dow industrial futures edged up 5 points.

A drop in crude-oil futures and a slower economic growth forecast from the U.S. Federal Reserve helped lift blue chips on Tuesday, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ended with its fourth straight gain.

The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 each ended with a 0.2 percent rise, and the Nasdaq Composite put on 0.5 percent.

Crude-oil futures on Wednesday rose 52 cents to $70.23 a barrel in electronic trading, ahead of weekly oil statistics that are expected to show declining crude and gasoline inventories.

Other statistics out on Wednesday including a second reading of U.S. economic growth during the second quarter and ADP's estimate of August employment.

In addition, the president of the Dallas Federal Reserve, Richard Fisher, is due to make a speech for the second day in a row.

The euro was flat against the dollar, and the dollar crept higher on the Japanese yen.

Of companies in focus, Costco Wholesale warned it wouldn't meet earnings estimates in the quarter ending Sept. 3, due to thinner-than-forecast profit margins and an income tax charge.

Novell Inc. may decline after beginning an internal review of its stock-option grants that could result in not filing its quarterly results on time. Novell estimated that revenue fell a weaker-than-forecast 4 percent during its fiscal third quarter.

Euronext, the European stock exchange operator that agreed to merge with the NYSE Group Inc., reported a 63 percent profit rise. It also for the first time set a date for a vote on the merger, in December.

AnorMed Inc., a Vancouver-based biopharmaceutical company, said it rejected an unsolicited $8.55 a share in cash takeover bid from Genzyme Corp. AnorMed said it hired Goldman Sachs as a financial adviser and formed a special advisory committee to review, consider and evaluate strategic alternatives.

AnorMed closed Tuesday at $5.03 a share.

The Nikkei 225 ended 0.1 percent lower in Tokyo, while European stock markets managed small rises, with the French CAC 40 advancing 0.5 percent.

HNAB - FDA to Review Hana Cancer Nausea Drug
Wednesday August 30, 8:09 am ET
Hana Biosciences Says FDA to Review Zensana Oral Spray Nausea Treatment Application


SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (AP) -- Biotech drug maker Hana Biosciences Inc. said Wednesday that the Food and Drug Administration will review its application for an oral spray meant to treat the nausea that often accompanies cancer treatments.
The company said the FDA will evaluate data on its Zensana Oral Spray, which aims to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as postoperative-induced nausea and vomiting.

Submitted studies showed that the spray was equivalent to similar drugs on the market that are administered in pill form. Hana filed its application to the FDA in late June.

"We plan to continue working closely with the FDA during the review," said Mark Ahn, Hana president and chief executive, in a statement. "Subject to FDA approval, we look forward to a potential commercial launch in the United States in the first half of 2007."

OK as most that bother even listening to me know
I always ask for consensus. greenie has been mean and rude
at every turn, he was pizzed when stockprofit2023 was replaced.
so I get a board run by 2 huge pumpers and try to straighten it out
and all I get is crap from greenspirit.
I asked Matt from the get go to ban him after how he treated me.
it was decided that as long as he keeps his comments on SLJB
and not on my moderation he could stay. he did not do that, instead
persisted that I was wrong with everything I was doing.

I will asked Matt to reinstate him as per your wishes
and remove me as moderator if thats what the consensus wants.
