MIDLAND, Texas, May 20, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Doral Energy Corp. /quotes/comstock/11k!drly (DRLY 0.03, 0.00, 0.00%) ("Doral" or "the Company") announced today that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 6,800 acres of operated producing oil and gas assets within Southeastern New Mexico for a total purchase price of $1,800,000. The acquisition consists of 15 leases currently producing approximately 54 BOPD (8/8ths) with Working Interests ranging from 37.9%-100% with associated Net Revenues ranging from 32.3%-87.5%. Current production is from the Permian Age, San Andres Formation, which produces at a depth of approximately 4,100 feet. This acreage sits adjacent to other San Andres production and offers Doral the ability to explore the possibility of both down-spacing, to exploit un-drained acreage, as well as to stimulate current producers in order to potentially increase production.

Management expects to enter into a definitive Purchase Sale Agreement on or before June 4, 2010 with an expected closing date of June 30, 2010. Doral intends to utilize a portion of its cash surplus from the closing of its Hanson Energy divestiture to fund this transaction.

Management Comments

E. Will Gray II, Chairman & CEO of Doral, states, "Management is pleased to announce to shareholders the Company's intent to acquire new reserves within the Permian Basin. We will be able to make this transaction with cash on hand, once our current divestiture has closed, and remain initially unleveraged on this acquisition. The ability to have no bank debt with cash on hand will be a strong positive for moving Doral into the next phase of its life-cycle." Mr. Gray further states, "It has been a difficult year for Doral but while many of our competitors were either forced into bankruptcy or foreclosed upon, Management has been able to position Doral from a potentially negative situation into one that remains to be potentially rewarding. It is this optimism that drives Management in its efforts in building an organization that can deliver future positive earnings as well as continue to acquire under-valued producing oil and gas assets within the Permian Basin."

Premiere's unique consumer-oriented approach builds upon proprietary research to enable established organizations to develop comprehensive messaging strategies and reach consumers directly to increase awareness of their medical services. Moving away from insurance-centricity, Premiere's model allows clients to accurately align their products and services with consumer demand, using predictive models and quantifiable analysis to bring a more systematic approach to their business growth strategy.

Marc LeShay, President of Premiere Medical Travel Corporation says, "Medical Tourism is a modern healthcare reality; we [Premiere] are very proud to be positioned to add this piece of the puzzle to Healthcare of Today. Conversely, their vertically integrated healthcare system represents an enormous resource that Premiere is excited to offer to our clients. The possibilities are endless."

Premiere's leadership features an elite team of professionals, representing US healthcare, Fortune 500 corporations, and academic institutions. Premiere's services provide the client with unparalleled insight into their opportunities within the medical tourism market while providing US healthcare consumers with groundbreaking medical care and expanded choices. Premiere is the latest addition to Healthcare of Today's services portfolio. SK3 Group and parent company Healthcare of Today have announced that SK3 Group will serve as the healthcare services, facilities, education and health plan holding portfolio for Healthcare of Today. SK3 Group recently applied to change its name to Healthcare of Today Services, pending FINRA approval.

Healthcare of Today CEO Henry Jan says, "We look forward to supporting the work Premiere is doing to create a more efficient global healthcare marketplace, and we will benefit from their executives' insight into the international dynamics of the healthcare market to help us determine how we can best provide for patients here and around the world."

DMXC News" Induced Polarization Survey Begins on Delta Mining and Exploration's Delcer Buttes Gold/Copper Property

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Induced-Polarization-Survey-Begins-on-Delta-Mining-Explorations-Delcer-Buttes-Gold-Copper-1263124.htm

LEWISBURG, KY--(Marketwire - May 19, 2010) - Delta Mining & Exploration (PINKSHEETS: DMXC) ("Delta") is pleased to announce that Gradient Geophysics has commenced the 2nd round of exploration work on the Delcer Buttes Property, in Elko County, Nevada.

After successful completion of the magnetometer survey this past month in which several anomalies were indentified, including a magnetite rich zone approximately 1 kilometer in length trending towards the west in the northern portion of the property, Gradient Geophysics has started collecting additional data on Delcer Buttes through an Induced Polarization ("IP") survey.

The IP will provide a method in testing for sulfide mineralization -- often associated with mineralized skarn. Areas of pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, and pyrrhotite -- sulfides often associated with gold and copper mineralization -- will be delineated using the IP method.

In addition, the resistivity part of IP will provide a mapping tool for the project area for determining rock units and faults as well as a 3-Dimensional sampling tool, on a large scale, for detailed mineral exploration. The combined results of the magnetometer and IP surveys will be followed up on the ground by mapping and sampling. The survey should take roughly a month to complete, and once the results are known they will be made public.

Delta Mining & Exploration, www.deltamine.com, is an emerging exploration company locating mineral and precious metal deposits in the mining rich regions of North America. The Company currently owns mineral rights to land in central Montana as well as the rights to 31 claims on 680 acres in Elko County, Nevada.

"SLRW News" Solarbrook Water & Power Adds AquaClens to Its Product Line

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/solarbrook-water-amp-power-adds-aquaclens-to-its-product-line,1306886.shtml

CARY, NC -- 05/19/10 -- Solarbrook Water & Power Corporation, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SLRW) a developer, manufacturer and marketer of water quality and clean power products, is pleased to announce the addition of a new Pitcher Filtration System to our product line that will be marketed under the AquaClens™ name. Action Universal Corporation (AUC), a Chinese company located in Hong Kong, who signed a licensing agreement with Solarbrook Water & Power in March of this year, put this new product together and will be distributing it throughout Asia and the US.

The new Pitcher Filter has already been successfully test marketed in Taiwan. Its clean-cut design and quality have received an enormous amount of positive feedback.

The packaged product will contain a 60-day cartridge along with the pitcher, which will feature a new device that measures the volume of water used/filtered verses the typical counter showing the "number of days" a cartridge has been in use. So, households using/filtering a less amount of water will know exactly how long the life of the cartridge can be extended (maximizing the use of the cartridge) and a household using/filtering more water will know exactly how soon the cartridge will need to be replaced (ensuring the filter is not over used and water is properly filtered).

"This is such a milestone for our company," commented George Moore, CEO of Solarbrook Water & Power. "We are extremely pleased with AUC's commitment to developing this new product and getting it ready for the market so quickly."

The Pitcher will officially be launched into the Asian market within the next couple of months and will be ready to make its debut into the US market by late September or earlier October.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/terremark-continues-accelerated-growth-at-nap-of-the-capital-region-2010-05-19?reflink=MW_news_stmp

MIAMI, May 19, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- --Contracted Space Increases to More Than 65 Percent of Available Datacenter Space, Including Recently Launched Third Facility

Based on the extraordinary success and continued rapid growth of its customer base at the Network Access Point (NAP) of the Capital Region, Terremark Worldwide, Inc. /quotes/comstock/15*!tmrk/quotes/nls/tmrk (TMRK 7.71, -0.31, -3.87%) , a leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, today announced it has acquired 27 acres of land directly adjacent to its datacenter campus. The $5-million land acquisition provides Terremark the ability to add at least 250,000 square feet of high-quality datacenter space and close to 100,000 square feet of Class A office space, effectively doubling the size of the campus. As a result of recently securing large customer contracts for services delivered from the NAP of the Capital Region, more than 65 percent of the campus' available datacenter space is currently contracted, including the newly launched third datacenter. The company expects to begin customer deployments in this datacenter during the third quarter of Terremark's fiscal year 2011.

The powerful combination of Terremark's innovative suite of solutions, in particular its ultra-secure colocation services and revolutionary Enterprise Cloud product, along with the massive connectivity offered through the NAP of the Capital Region's multiple global carrier networks has been a key driver in the expansion of the campus. As a result of the compelling value proposition offered by this combination, Terremark continues to sign contracts with various federal government customers and global enterprises for services to be delivered from the campus.

"With the outstanding success and explosive growth of the NAP of the Capital Region, acquiring the land adjacent to the existing campus was a vital step in securing our position to continue meeting the strong demand for Terremark's services among federal customers and large multinational companies," said Manuel D. Medina, Terremark's Chairman and CEO. "Our ability to secure contracts for a significant percentage of our existing datacenter space so quickly is a testament to the unique ecosystem of highly secure, top-quality solutions that are ideally suited to meet the needs of large organizations pursuing datacenter consolidation and other IT projects to drive greater efficiencies in their systems."

Terremark's NAP of the Capital Region campus, from which the company offers its complete suite of IT solutions, including its Enterprise Cloud, colocation, managed hosting, disaster recovery/COOP and secure information services, is designed to exceed federal government standards for data communications and hosting sites, as well as meet the needs of power, space and bandwidth-intensive mission-critical applications and hot/warm sites for disaster recovery/COOP environments. Along with the world-class datacenter facilities at the campus, which is strategically located 60 miles outside Washington, D.C. in Culpeper County, Va., Terremark recently unveiled a 72,000-square-foot headquarters building that features a 150-seat auditorium built to the federal government's Physical Security Standards for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) and approximately 50,000 square feet of Class A office space that can be built to SCIF specifications in order to meet customer demands.

Mulder continued, "We are encouraged that the plaintiffs took other steps to narrow their claims against the Company. And we will continue to vigorously defend the Company in this lawsuit. We cannot and we will not allow any company or person to cast doubt on our Company or our mission."

"AEHI News" Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. Signs Exclusive Deal With China Supplier to Market World's First Large Commercial Nuclear Desalinization Reactor
Partnership to Result in Cleanest, Most Efficient, Most Cost-Effective Producer of Potable Water and Electricity

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/alternate-energy-holdings-inc-signs-exclusive-deal-with-china-supplier-to-market-worlds-first-large-commercial-nuclear-desalinization-reactor-2010-05-18?reflink=MW_news_stmp

BEIJING, May 18, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11k!aehi (AEHI 0.51, 0.00, 0.00%) today announced the company's official partnership through AEHI China with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), through its subsidiary China Zhongyuan Engineering Corporation (CZEC), to produce and market nuclear desalinization reactors at the international level.

The product will be the largest, cleanest, most efficient, most cost-effective converter of salt water to drinking water on the market and will be available to order in the summer of 2010. It will be advertised under the name "Green World Water(TM)".

The reactors that power these units come in 650 and 1,100 MWe sizes and can be tailored to produce water and electricity at a desired ratio. The designs are very safe, as they evolved originally from Westinghouse designs currently operating in the U.S., and were further evolved by the French before being built in China.

The partnership and reactor design was an idea by AEHI CEO Don Gillispie, who began working with CNNC's subsidiary on the project more than a year ago. While there have been some small units built in Asia, mostly for domestic consumption, a larger commercial version was not readily available to the world.

"I had the idea many years ago to build and market a desalinization unit powered by a commercial nuclear reactor, but when I first met with CNNC, the design was still in my head, so I sketched it onto a piece of paper. Since then, it has evolved into a design that can solve water problems around the globe. This is something I'm very proud of knowing it can help millions of people gain access to clean, potable water," said Don Gillispie, AEHI CEO.

Several countries have already begun contacting Gillispie about the desalinization reactor, and AEHI hopes to have several projects underway within a year.

"These deals are huge for AEHI, but they will also provide a tremendous benefit for many developing countries as over three billion people, half the world's population, don't have clean drinking water, according to National Geographic Magazine. These reactors will solve water issues, but they can also create needed power and produce thousands of jobs where they are desperately needed," said Gillispie.

DENVER & HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, May 18, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Apollo Gold Corporation /quotes/comstock/11t!apg (CA:APG 0.35, 0.00, 0.00%) /quotes/comstock/14*!agt/quotes/nls/agt (AGT 0.33, 0.00, -1.28%) ("Apollo") and Linear Gold Corp. /quotes/comstock/11t!lrr (CA:LRR 1.80, 0.00, 0.00%) ("Linear") announce a new corporate identity and name, Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus Gold"), which is expected to take effect following the closing of their proposed business combination (the "Merger"), subject to applicable respective shareholder approvals.

Pursuant to a definitive agreement executed by Apollo and Linear announced on April 1, 2010, Apollo and Linear agreed to the Merger by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement. The Merger is expected to close by the end of June 2010, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory, court and shareholder approvals.

As a part of the Merger, Apollo and Linear believe that it is in the best interests of the combined company to effect a name change and to undertake a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation combined entity common share for every four Apollo common shares outstanding immediately prior to the share consolidation. The trading ticker symbols for the combined entity on the TSX and NYSE Amex will be announced in due course.

The proposed share consolidation and name change will be submitted to the Apollo shareholders for approval at the shareholder meeting to approve, among other things, the issuance of 5.4742 Apollo common shares for each common share of Linear and other matters relating to the Merger and would only be effective upon the closing of the Merger. If approved by the Apollo shareholders, the proposed share consolidation would affect all combined entity shareholders uniformly. After giving effect to the Merger and the consolidation, Linear shareholders will receive approximately 1.37 combined entity shares for each Linear share on completion of the Merger (5.4742 divided by 4).

Wade K. Dawe, Chief Executive Officer and President of Linear, who is slated to become CEO and President of the combined entity, said, "We are proud to unveil Brigus Gold to Apollo and Linear shareholders to help brand a unique, strong and dynamic mid-tier gold investment vehicle of choice for new and existing shareholders. We plan to develop Brigus Gold into Canada's next mid-tier gold producer based on our outlook for increased gold production and resources. We believe that Brigus Gold represents a solid platform for growth in shareholder value based on: (i) growing production and cash flow from the Black Fox Mine; (ii) an excellent development pipeline of projects in low-risk operating jurisdictions; (iii) a strengthened balance sheet that positions the company to capitalize on development and exploration opportunities; (iv) a strong management team with development, operational and financial expertise and (v) improved access to the capital markets and enhanced trading liquidity."

The combined entity will focus on optimizing its key Black Fox gold operations (mine, mill and adjoining Pike River and Grey Fox properties) in the Timmins gold mining district in Ontario and advancing to production the Box deposit at the Goldfields property in Saskatchewan. The combined entity will also continue to strategically advance its Ixhuatan and Huizopa gold projects in Mexico.

Both the proposed share consolidation and name change must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the Apollo Meeting.

Each of Apollo and Linear has called for their respective shareholder meetings to be held on June 24, 2010, with a record date for each meeting established as May 25, 2010.

"ZAAP News" New Lithium Battery and Management System Doubles Range of ZAP Electric Cars
A Smart, Lighter Weight Alternative for ZAP Consumer and Fleet Vehicles Worldwide

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-lithium-battery-and-management-system-doubles-range-of-zap-electric-cars-2010-05-18?reflink=MW_news_stmp

SANTA ROSA, Calif., May 18, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electric vehicle pioneer ZAP /quotes/comstock/11k!zaap (ZAAP 0.39, 0.00, 0.00%) has begun shipping lithium battery systems for various models of its electric cars, trucks, vans and scooters, offering at least four times the life of standard lead-acid batteries and twice the driving range. The new battery system is the first turnkey, drop-in replacement battery system that fits in the same space as the G-31 lead acid batteries used in many of ZAP's vehicles, equipped with a BMS (battery management system) that increases reliability and extends range.

The lightweight lithium battery system is used in the ZAP Alias, allowing it to drive up to 100 miles on a single charge. In China, ZAP's new fleet vehicles use a similar system for its electric taxis and corporate vehicles based on the Jonway A380 SUV. A sub-chassis array of more than 100 battery cells is networked with an electronic monitoring system, ensuring that temperature and voltage of each cell are in balance and that electricity is automatically rerouted should any of the cell voltages change.

Available as an upgrade for some ZAP vehicles, the new lithium battery systems provide a significant value for customers by improving performance and offering a significantly longer lifespan. ZAP estimates lead-acid batteries have 300-500 cycles of discharging and recharging, compared to 2,000 cycles for lithium. Customers should see improved acceleration and handling of their vehicles with the lighter-weight, higher-voltage batteries. ZAP designed the lithium battery system to recharge overnight from any 110 outlet, just like a cell phone, or faster using a 220-volt recharging station.

The acquisition was approved by the VIASPACE board of directors at a meeting on May 13, 2010, and documents were signed on May 14, 2010.

VIASPACE Chief Executive Dr. Carl Kukkonen stated: "We are pleased to bring the acquisition to completion. With the acquisition behind us, we can increase focus on expanding the Giant King Grass business as well as IPA's framed art business. I am also looking forward to providing updates on our renewable energy business, including progress with Giant King Grass plantings, crop status, our first energy product for the biomass market, and the status of our discussions and negotiations with potential customers."

Under terms of the acquisition, which involved an exchange of shares, VIASPACE issued 241,667,000 shares of newly issued common stock of VIASPACE to Mr. Sung Hsien Chang, the former controlling shareholder of IPA and a VGE shareholder; his family members; and a company controlled by Chang. In exchange, VIASPACE received VGE common stock and now holds 6,506,000 shares, or 75.6%, of VGE's outstanding common stock. Chang controls 4.7% of VGE's outstanding common stock, with the remaining VGE stock held by unaffiliated shareholders. Chang also received one share of VIASPACE Series A preferred stock that gives him 50.1% of common stock voting rights subject to cancellation when certain conditions are met.

Also under terms of the acquisition, Chang has been appointed to the board of directors of VIASPACE and may designate up to two appointees to the board. As board member Mr. Amjad Abdallat resigned from the board effective May 14, 2010, the board currently remains at five directors, of which three are independent, outside directors.

Included in the acquisition terms, the $4.8 million plus interest note, issued in 2008 by VIASPACE to Chang, has been converted to a $5.3 million five-year note at 6% annual interest payable in five equal annual payments. The new principal amount of $5.3 million represents the original $4.8 million plus interest accrued through May 14, 2010.

VIASPACE will continue to manage its renewable energy and IPA operations through VGE. Dr. Carl Kukkonen will continue to serve as chief executive of VIASPACE and VGE, Mr. Stephen Muzi will continue to serve as chief financial officer of both companies, and Chang will continue as president of VGE.

"KKUR News" ChromoCure Joins Walgreens in Widespread Testing Strategy Through International Partnership and Distribution Networks

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/ChromoCure-Joins-Walgreens-Widespread-Testing-Strategy-Through-International-Partnership-1262119.htm

LONDON--(Marketwire - May 18, 2010) - ChromoCure, Inc. (Genome Research Group, Inc.) (PINKSHEETS: KKUR) continues to expand its comprehensive global Testing Strategy in response to increased genetic research and as Walgreens begins selling individual mail-in genetic testing kits in 7,500 of their retail locations nationwide. Walgreens' program, together with the worldwide increase in medical genome research, are in response to overall medical and personal interest in chromosomal imbalance or aneuploidy as a cause of cancer.

The Company's cancer detection technology is based on the chromosomal theory of cancer. Research has conclusively and irrefutably demonstrated aneuploidy a more accurate predictor of cancer than cytological/histological analysis or genetic marker-based diagnostics that are the only other methods in existence today. The Company's cancer detection system locates and measures unique genomic characteristics found in 100% of all cancers and never found in normal cells. The Company's detection technology has an effective 100% accuracy rate and an effective 100% specificity therefore making "false positives" and "false negatives" theoretically impossible.

The Company recently announced the addition of Full Spectrum ChromoSomal Scan Capability for Broad Base Cancer Progression Assessment: Further Enhancing Detection & Progression Monitoring. These new capabilities allow for comprehensive DNA-index quantification and precise measurement of chromosomal imbalance ratios and amounts; thereby providing increasing value of vital cancer progression analysis data for the precise assessment remission rates and protocol efficacy in the Company's expanded Therapeutic Research initiatives worldwide.

This announcement, together with the recently announced Clinical Testing and Trials for its landmark ChromoSomal Scanning Technology as applied to cervical cancer and the Euro Zone launch of its Pathologist Collaborative Research (PCR) Program in support of the groundbreaking Project Boveri: Find the Cure Initiative, further establishes the Company's leading role in the new era of cancer research, detection, and therapy, as the companies leverage their combined technologies, research knowledge and industry relationships.

The Company possesses advanced detection and therapeutic technology and protocols, comprised of ChromoCure's advanced detection system and GRG's full line of therapeutic protocols and technology; allowing for the first time real-time progression monitoring and remission detection -- providing the world's first cure research fully integrated system for the precise measurement of treatment and on-demand, real-time cancer progression analysis to monitor and determine treatment efficacy.

As a result of the recent merger and acquisition of Genome Research Group, the combined entity possesses complementary detection and therapeutic technology and protocols.

The Company's focus on cancer research is further underscored by recent major clinical publications that both validate ChromoCure's chromosomal/aneuploidy theory of cancer and establish the company's detection approach as the forefront of both cancer detection and research. The Mayo Clinic's recent landmark findings confirming aneuploidy as the cause of cancer were published in the December 2009 Cancer Cell journal. This publication has spurred increased worldwide research by a number of respected research universities and institutions, all of which have published similar reports in 2010.

The Company believes its technologies provide the foundation for significant advances in diagnosis, therapy and cure. Shareholders can expect further updates on research and testing collaborations, laboratory partnerships, and research initiatives.

Management believes these initiatives to be of significant long-term shareholder value and furthers the Company's transition to research, technology development, and licensing as a source of significant long-term and recurring revenues and equity appreciation.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/uni-pixel-announces-unibosstm-embossing-technology-2010-05-18?reflink=MW_news_stmp

THE WOODLANDS, TX, May 18, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Uni-Pixel, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11k!unxl (UNXL 0.23, 0.00, 0.00%) , a development and production stage company delivering its Clearly Superior(TM) performance Engineered Films to the lighting & display, solar and flexible electronics market segments, today unveiled UniBoss(TM), a unique embossing technology that enables high-speed, low-cost production of printed electronic devices. In addition, the technology eliminates the need for photolithography or screen printing typically required to produce fine line conductors for rigid and flexible electronic devices.

Potential applications for UniBoss include the production of transparent electrically conductive grids or patterns that can be used for capacitive and resistive touch and multi-touch displays. In addition, the process can be used to fabricate both flexible and rigid printed circuit boards, RFID antennas, as well as transparent electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and radio frequency interface shielding films.

UniPixel plans to initially target UniBoss for the touch panel market, which DisplaySearch forecasts to grow from $3.6 Billion in 2008 to $9 Billion in 2015, with capacitive touch seeing a 27% CAGR over the same period and reaching $4.2 Billion.

"UniBoss is a cost-effective, viable replacement option for ITO-based touch screens," noted Robert Petcavich Ph.D., UniPixel's Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President. "There have been many attempts to replace ITO with limited success, but UniBoss offers the first truly viable, robust, low-cost alternative to ITO in display transparent touch screen applications."

Petcavich added, "UniPixel believes that by using its fine-line UniBoss electrodes in touch screen applications, we can increase the touch response speed and accuracy, as well as reduce the power requirements of current ITO-based systems."

UniPixel is currently scaling up the process for full scale production and plans to have pilot production quantities of UniBoss available by Q3'10. The company will showcase the benefits of its UniBoss technology during SID Display Week 2010, to be held May 24-28 in Seattle, Wash. in a private technology suite off the show floor.

"EZEN News" Air Force Renews Licensing Agreements With Ezenia! Inc.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/air-force-renews-licensing-agreements-with-ezenia-inc-93923614.html

NASHUA, N.H., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ezenia! Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: EZEN), a leading market provider of real-time collaboration solutions for corporate and government networks and eBusiness, has received two renewal orders from the Air Force, totaling approximately $1M in license royalties for the Ezenia flagship product line, InfoWorkSpace, for continued support of Air Force Warfighters.

These licenses are employed within the Combatant Commands Air, Space and Coalition Air Operation Centers (AOC) and support Air Force Reserve (AFR) and Air National Guard (ANG) sites throughout the world. For the fifth year running, these awards allow the Warfighters to take advantage of the secure communication, conferencing, and collaboration capabilities found within Ezenia's InfoWorkSpace product line to deliver real-time information sharing, provide situational awareness, and perform command and control activities.

"Both contracts dovetail nicely with the training services and field engineering support awards previously announced, as we have the Central Command (CENTCOM) Coalition AOC in Qatar, the Air Force Space Command's Space Operations Center on Vandenberg AFB, CA, Combined AOC-X and 710th AFR Unit at Langley AFB, VA, 701st AFR Unit at March AFB, CA, 157th ANG Unit at St Louis, MO and the 112th ANG at State College, PA to upgrade and train," commented Keith Baron, Vice President of Customer Assistance & Field Support. "The licenses are truly cost-effective, allowing up to 36,000 Warfighters per day, or 12,000 per shift, to have differing levels of interaction and/or receive multimedia briefings, all at the same time," further noted Mr. Baron. "With a minimal investment of a few dollars per month per user, Warfighters across the Air, Space, Combined or Coalition Operations Centers have, at their disposal, the flexibility and freedom to leverage their knowledge base as they interconnect with each other around the globe, either within an AOC or across all AOCs via federation capability."

The AOC's continued support of InfoWorkSpace further demonstrates Ezenia's exceptional performance in secure information-sharing solutions and customer service. "Our first sales execution pillar is to build from the existing customer base within the Department of Defense," said Rene Rodriguez, Vice President of Government Business. "With strengths in scalability, security, persistent multi-user chat, and real-time conferencing, InfoWorkSpace continues to be the clear choice. As current and potential customers factor in the products extreme cost effectiveness, we expect to expand the footprint of InfoWorkSpace across multiple government agencies."

During that same period Smart-Tek's gross profits were $2,610,359--more than quadruple the $614,348 gross profits during the comparative period in 2009.

Smart-Tek Automated Services is capitalizing on rising demand in the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) business, which it officially entered in August 2009. PEOs enable companies to outsource back-office operations such as payroll processing, human resources support, workers' compensation insurance, safety programs, employee benefits, and other administrative tasks.

In April, the Company announced that it had completed business licensing and registration requirement in 33 new states, with the goal of doing so throughout the continental U.S. to handle multistate clients. (The Company already has the ability to sell workers' compensation insurance in the Lower 48.) Other recent positive news included signing an agreement to provide PEO services to a national staffing firm, representing approximately $30 million in annual gross billings, as well as announcement of plans to capitalize on the booming China market with dedicated operations located in Hong Kong. The new office exposes the company to the influx of multinationals with a presence in Asia as well as the 800 million Chinese work force.

"Our increase in sales activity is due, in part, to the demand for better human resource (HR) outsourcing solutions from small to medium sized business owners," said Brian Bonar, Smart-Tek Solutions CEO. "I expect continued growth in our business segment and believe we are poised to establish ourselves as an industry leader in the human resource outsourcing industry in 2010."

The reported financial results exceeded the Company's forecasts released for the comparative reporting period. "While I am optimistic about the future, we are continuing to evaluate our growth potential in the near and long-term future and expect to release additional forecasts this summer," Bonar said.

"HEB News" Hemispherx Biopharma Prepares Application to Initiate Phase II Clinical Trials in China With Ampligen(R)

http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/health-care/hemispherx-biopharma-prepares-application-initiate-phase-ii-clinical-trials/

PHILADELPHIA, May 17, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) ----As part of its expanding international program Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. (NYSE Amex:HEB), (the "Company"), announced an agreement with Fountain Medical Development Ltd., a leading Chinese clinical research organization (CRO) to prepare, file and gain approval from the authorities in China to conduct a study of Ampligen, an investigational therapeutic. Ampligen(R) is a member of a new class of antivirals/ immuno-potentiators with broad spectrum therapeutic properties. Hemispherx plans to investigate the experimental therapeutic for potential treatment of seriously ill hospitalized flu patients, many with underlying respiratory conditions. The proposed study will determine the extent to which their clinical parameters return to normal more rapidly with potential shortening of their hospital stay relative to patients treated only with placebo plus the existing "standards of care". Hemispherx has engaged Fountain with a plan to initiate this study during next year's flu season in various parts of China.

Influenza is a serious world wide health threat producing significant debilitation and death rates in individuals with compromised pulmonary functions and/ or immuno-compromised conditions.

According to a recent Tufts University New Release (April 15, 2010) reporting on U.S. flu activity across the nation, 10.5% of the 9.7 million hospitalizations in elderly patients that occur annually were due to pneumonia and influenza. The researchers studied intensity of flu by extracting information from 248,889 Medicare and Medicaid hospitalization records from 1991 through 2004.

This agreement with Fountain Medical Group follows last month's entering a definitive contract with Max Neeman, a major India-based CRO, to conduct similar trials in India using Alferon N in severely ill patient populations.

Joel Franklin, the Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Blue Energy Corp., says, "This software will make our operating systems more efficient by dramatically reducing the hours spent evaluating financials and qualifying projects."

PBEC is currently using the software to review potential projects in Arizona, where the company is based and has begun its renewable energy development efforts.

"The software allows us to analyze a system from many different angles - including those involving partnering, joint ventures, renewable energy credits and all of the different aspects that go along with financial equity and debt," Franklin adds. "This will allow us to do many more projects and feel more confident about the potential results."

Among other options, the software allows the user to better determine which portions of debt and equity to take in each project, and how those decisions will affect partnerships and joint ventures. It also includes an option that will help determine how projects may affect stock prices.

Successful Pilot Leads to State-Wide Deployment, Improving Public Safety, Saving Processing Time and Improving System Accuracy

WALL, N.J., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BIO-key International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI), a leader in finger-based biometric identification solutions, today announced the statewide expansion of the state of Minnesota's eCharging pilot. This solution utilizes BIO-key's WEB-key® fingerprint biometric software for officers to establish their identity when electronically signing criminal complaints.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050509/BIOKEYLOGO)

The paperless eCharging system increases efficiency by allowing police officers and prosecutors to electronically transmit charging documents in real-time with the courts. The electronic delivery eliminates duplicate data entry and forms, and time and travel for document delivery.

As reported on Fox 21 News affiliate KQDS-DT in Minnesota, this system is the first of its kind in the country, saving police hours of time previously spent on paperwork, which enables them to get back out in the community faster. What used to take days, now takes only minutes. To establish their identity when electronically signing a complaint, law enforcement officers simply place a finger onto an inexpensive fingerprint reader that plugs into the officer's computer. The BIO-key software quickly and accurately establishes the officers' identity by comparing a scanned image against their previously registered fingerprints.

"Feedback from the pilot users was very positive and the use of the system has been found to be very intuitive. The biometric signing is fast, accurate convenient and easy to use," said Jill Oliveira, Public Information Officer for the Minnesota Dept. of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Chief Dana Waldron from the Virginia MN Police Department added he wouldn't dream of going back to paper.

The major benefits of the system include:

* Time savings: For law enforcement, the time savings estimates have averaged 45 minutes per criminal complaint.
* Workflow Monitoring: The system eliminates lost paper complaints. A simple search can be run to see the status of all complaints that are currently in the signing process and the individuals and agencies to which they are assigned.
* Auditing: Workflow tracking is available as an audit function, in case the authenticity of the complaint or the signatures on it are challenged.
* High Acceptance: Acceptance by law enforcement and the court has been extremely favorable.


"The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has been truly innovative in applying technology to not only improve the services it provides its constituents but in a way that requires fewer resources! This is a model solution that every state should deploy," added BIO-key CEO Mike DePasquale.

Dr. Aquilur Rahman, President and CEO, commented, “IPF is the most deadly disease of the lungs in humans with very high morbidity. It is estimated that about 55,000 patients are diagnosed with the disease and almost 45,000 of them die with this disease every year in the U.S. There is currently no proven effective treatment to cure this disease.

We look forward to starting our clinical studies with IL13-PE as aerosolized product in humans inflicted with this devastating disease quite soon.”

Orphan Drug designation provides a seven-year term of market exclusivity for IPF upon final FDA approval. Orphan Drug designation positions NeoPharm to take advantage of a wide range of financial and regulatory benefits, including government grants for conducting clinical trials, waiver of expensive FDA user fees and certain tax credits.
