Markland Develops Software Based Thermal Sight Training Program for US Army; Sophisticated Software Program Assists Soldiers in Training to Operate Night Vision Equipment in Realistic Virtual Environment

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Jan 28, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, announced today that it has completed development of an advanced computer software-based thermal sight training program under a contract with the U.S. Army. The announcement was made by Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland.

The computer software-based thermal sight training program was developed under an agreement with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). While the curriculum and content is primarily developed by the government, EOIR Technologies Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Markland Technologies is the primary software developer.

The night vision training software helps soldiers learn to identify the thermal signatures of combat vehicles through the use of an interactive curriculum that teaches the unique patterns and shapes of vehicle 'hotspots,' and overall vehicle shapes. The training software also provides soldiers with practical experience in the use of their thermal sensor image controls. Through the use of virtual sight controls, soldiers learn to effectively adjust their thermal image to find targets and bring out their thermal identification cues.

"I am proud of our highly skilled and dedicated workforce at EOIR Technologies, and pleased that once again we have worked so successfully with the US Army's talented personnel at the Night Vision Laboratory to jointly produce a very important training tool for our soldiers," said Mr. Tarini. "The virtual training environment provided by this effort allows the US Army to train more soldiers faster and more effectively on the operation of night vision equipment. Ultimately, this results in a better-trained and better-equipped U.S. military."

The Army's NVESD research and development group is one of the U.S. military's most advanced technological leaders and has been responsible for numerous key innovations in the fields of optical electronics and thermal imaging for weapons targeting, electronic surveillance and other mission-critical military applications. Markland is working on a range of next-generation technology solutions for the NVESD, including night vision and advanced sensor applications, and other threat-detection systems. This product development effort was performed under an ongoing five-year omnibus contract which may provide a maximum award ceiling amount of up to $80 million in fiscal year revenues for Markland. The contract has a potential value of approximately $406 million over the life of the contract.

CT Laser Mammography System Sold In Italy

First Commercial Laser Breast Imaging System In Italy

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. ( IMDS ), announced today that it has sold a CT Laser Mammography system to its distributor Biomedical International Snc., Rome, Italy for installation at the Hospital Civile di Teramo, Teramo, Italy.

"The CTLM(R) system will be used in the Oncology Department. The Hospital is known for offering the latest technologies to their patients and we believe that laser optical mammography will be well received," commented Mr. G. Luciano Perrazi, President, Biomedical International.

Tim Hansen, Imaging Diagnostic Systems CEO, stated, "This is the third operating CTLM system in Italy but the first sale in the country. We have another order pending.

Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. Releases Letter to Shareholders

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Tim Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. ( IMDS ), released the following letter to the company's shareholders:

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040412/IMDSLOGO )

January 27, 2005

Dear Shareholder,

In our October letter to you we highlighted three top priorities: U.S. FDA Pre-Market Approval, global commercialization, and a roadmap to enhance our long-term growth. Here is a brief status update on each.

As you have seen from our recent press releases, global commercialization has been progressing nicely. We have six backlog orders including three under our China contract, two new systems in Italy, and a third Middle East order in UAE to Abu Dhabi. Our efforts to align with major luminary and research centers in Europe have garnered an impressive group. In addition to existing systems including Charite Hospital, Berlin, and the University of Vienna, we have added two new relationships with the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Gliwice, Poland, and Catholic University Hospital, Rome. We now have seven installed CTLM(R) systems under clinical agreements in Europe and we are targeting more.

We recently announced the appointment of several new distributors. These companies have been selected using criteria including their customer satisfaction focus, market coverage and a high degree of involvement in molecular imaging in their respective markets. These firms will be participating in a combined service-training program so that CTLM support will be directly available in the European region.

Our roadmap for the future is now tightly focused on women's health and the opportunities with CT Laser Optical Breast Imaging as an emerging new modality. The FDA informed us that the CTLM has been reclassified as a Non- Significant Risk (NSR) device. This reclass may enable us to more quickly engage U.S. Clinical partners in the future.

On the PMA activities, we are altering course. The clinical study we have analyzed and which we intended to submit to the FDA did not, in our opinion, adequately reflect the capabilities of CTLM as an adjunctive mammography tool. Our clinical cases were collected on CTLM systems dating back to 2001. Since that time IDSI has developed significant improvements in the scanning subsystems, image reconstruction and image display software. We have also improved quality assurance routines to ensure better operator and physician training, and improved image quality control. These enhancements are routinely implemented as they become validated on our international CTLM shipments, but the same changes were not made to the 2001 units in order to maintain our PMA modules in their original forms. We now intend to collect data using our latest systems because we believe the results will yield a stronger study to support our PMA application.

Consequently, we will install updated CTLM systems in the US and upgrade several international units to collect data under a new protocol. Our plan will extend the time to actual PMA submission from what we were anticipating in October, but we believe this approach will better support the application.

Once again we thank you for your patience and for your confidence in our technologies.

Markland Technologies Announces Strategic Initiatives for 2005

Plan Includes Growth in Homeland Security and Defense Marketplace, Continued Technology Innovation and Accretive Acquisitions

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Jan 24, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has announced its Strategic Initiatives for 2005. The announcement was made by Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland.

The announcement recaps Markland's key business and technological achievements during 2004, and describes the Company's goals for continued development of its leadership position in the homeland security and defense marketplaces. It provides a general overview of the Company's strategic approach to achieve growth in revenue and shareholder value throughout 2005 and beyond.

"With our innovative products and services in greater demand, we are announcing our strategic initiatives for 2005, which outline what we believe to be a compelling vision for the future of our dynamic company," said Mr. Tarini. "The past year has been a period of significant revenue growth for Markland. For example, in our first quarter of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2004, we reported a corporate record of $15.7 million in gross revenues, a significant year-over-year increase. We feel the numbers provide the best validation of our overall strategy. It's our opinion that calendar year 2005 will build and improve upon this success in the Homeland security and Department of Defense (DOD)-related industries.

"The nature of domestic security and defense has undergone major transformation in recent years," said Mr. Tarini. "This has sparked the government, military and first-responders to turn to fast-moving technology innovators such as Markland to provide many important answers to the world's safety and security needs. "The U.S. government has allotted $28.9 billion in spending this year for Homeland security. In addition, the military has an ongoing need for new technologies - particularly, the innovative and highly differentiated detection and monitoring sensor systems that Markland specializes in. We believe these conditions will continue to support significant growth for our industry overall and for Markland."

A few of Markland's milestones and achievements during 2004 include:

1. Acquisition and successful integration of wholly-owned subsidiary EOIR Technologies Inc. into Markland's other business segments of chemical detection, border security and emerging technologies.

EOIR Technologies Inc. specializes in remote sensing technology and currently holds an ongoing five-year omnibus contract with the U.S. Army's U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), one of the military's most advanced technology research and development entities. The omnibus contract may provide a maximum ceiling award amount of up to $80 million in fiscal year revenues for Markland. The contract has a potential value of approximately $406 million over the life of the contract.

2. Successful technical evaluation of next-generation wide area coverage "stand-off" chemical detection technology.
These long-distance hyper spectral sensor surveillance systems are being designed to identify chemical agent plumes across a wide area and from a distance far enough to enable first responder and security personnel to maximize their response time and planning. Markland's research and development program utilizes advanced thermal signature analysis techniques.

3. Development of an integrated multi-technology system to identify and stop suicide bombers.
Markland is developing an integrated approach to stopping suicide bombers. The system integrates Markland's stand-off detection technology with several other imaging and detection systems to identify armed or bomb-laden attackers. It is based on a unique three-tiered screening system that combines a range of existing thermal imaging and other advanced sensor technology along with new Markland-developed software analysis techniques. Together, they generate detection capabilities, which the company believes can be significantly more powerful than could be achieved by any single system.

The following represent Markland Technologies' key strategic initiatives for the coming year.

Strategic Initiative 1 - Continue to solidify Markland as a strong niche player in the DOD/Homeland Security arena via organic growth:
We have been extremely successful - growing revenue over ten-fold - in building Markland into a viable force in the DOD/homeland security sector. Through additional initiatives that the company is presently implementing we believe that we can grow our market presence through providing innovative products and services to a number of United States intelligence agencies. The newly-implemented reforms in US intelligence gathering agencies and renewed emphasis on increased budgets make this an attractive area for corporate growth initiatives to increase our present government intelligence business base.

We are also presently engaged in developing a new center for excellence for both DOD Force Protection and homeland security initiatives. This effort is intended to bridge the gap for dual-use technologies that have found their place in solving problems for both the United States military and the United States Department of Homeland Security. This strategy can potentially increase corporate revenues significantly in the coming year.

Strategic Initiative 2 - Continue to pursue focused acquisitions of synergistic, revenue-producing assets:
As our successful integration of EOIR Technologies demonstrates, Markland's strategy of identifying and acquiring synergistic businesses can provide an important source of top line revenues. We currently believe that the homeland security, defense and intelligence markets are best served with a diversified and integrated portfolio of technology services and product-based solutions. We will continue to seek out and acquire complementary businesses and technologies. In particular, Markland strives to be a provider of highly differentiated turn-key systems that best meet the needs of our government and military customers. To increase our capabilities, Management has determined that Markland should attempt to acquire additional revenue-generating assets that would provide capabilities in a range of technologies, including video surveillance, biometrics, as well as basic research and development. We believe that we can successfully acquire synergistic revenue-producing assets in these key business areas in the coming year.

Strategic Initiative 3 - Partner with established industry players on key, large-scale government contract programs:
To maximize and fully leverage our innovative technology assets, Management is engaged in efforts to establish partnerships with larger, established industry players in a host of potential key and large-scale government contracts and programs. One successful example of this strategy can be seen in our role as a subcontractor on the US-VISIT program for the Department of Homeland Security, where Markland has teamed with multiple Fortune 500 companies. The Company also has numerous initiatives in place with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, one of the military's most advanced technology research and development entities and Markland's most important industry partner. We believe that these types of partnerships will enhance and accelerate our corporate growth business plan.

Strategic Initiative 4 - Incubate and commercialize emerging technologies:
Markland has worked hard to position the Company as an innovator. We are continually working to develop new technologies within our business lines. Additionally, we are always monitoring the market for emerging technologies to acquire and/or incubate. We intend to continue to invest in intellectual property development and commercialization in the next year.

Summary
Markland's goal is to become a leading force in next-generation expert services and innovative products for the defense and homeland security markets. We have already achieved important early successes with our strategy of providing turn-key solutions that smoothly integrate disparate complementary technologies, easing the purchase and management process for our government and military customers. We believe these successes validate our business strategy and bode well for the future of Markland in the coming calendar year and beyond. Management is enthusiastic about the success Markland has accomplished to date and the numerous milestones the Company has achieved. Most importantly, we look forward to the continued rapid growth of our business base and to increasing shareholder value."

There have been MANY, MANY articles posted about the new SHO Regulation in the past several months. You can also read the details directly on the www.NASDAQ.com site. Overall, SHO is an effort to put and end to (or at least greatly diminish) the illegal practice of naked short selling. The shorts who have engaged in this criminal activity are clearly linked to the stock bashers we see on may message boards.

When you have posters spending literally every single day trying to drum up any possible negative twist on certain stocks it is pretty obvious they have a strong motivation. Is that motivation to "save" other investors from potentially losing money on these stocks which they think are so bad? Sure it is. These posters are shorts or they are paid bashers enployed by shorts. They have to bash the hardest on the stocks that they are most afraid will run up. HQNT really hurt the shorts on its last big run up to about $2.80 and they are very afraid of it happening all over again once the overdue earnings reports are published. But now we have a new development. Now we see the SHO threshold lists being published which indicate stocks with large, ILLEGAL naked short positions. HQNT can not show up on the SHO list until after its reports are published but it's easy to track the same trash talkers who are on HQNT's boards with many other stocks that are on the SHO lists now. So what we have is a bunch of HQNT bashers who are involved in a lot of ILLEGAL activity. Yes, I think the SEC should have a look at every one of them now.

Isn't it interesting that the same bash crew shows up on so many of the same stocks and that many of these stocks are now showing up on the SHO list? This clearly illustrates that these bashers are directly or indirectly linked to ILLEGAL naked shorting. They should all be investigated by the SEC.

Good to see UGHO on the SHO threshold list list now. The naked shorts have illegally held down too many stocks for too long. This effort to finally root out illegal shorting is very good to see. It should help UGHO and many other stocks rise to the higher valuations that they deserve.

Markland Technologies Continues to Provide Important Border Security Logistics Support Services at Southern Ports of Entry

Company Maintains and Improves SENTRI Equipment at San Ysidro, CA Border Crossing

Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, announced today that it has recently completed repairs and improvements to the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers' Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) system located in San Ysidro, CA. Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland, made the announcement.

Less than 20 miles south of downtown San Diego, CA is the world's busiest port of entry; the international border crossing between San Ysidro, CA and Tijuana, Mexico. On the average day over 40,000 vehicles pass through this location. The SENTRI system installed at San Ysidro, CA allows pre-screened vehicles and low-risk travelers from Mexico to be processed in an expeditious manner through dedicated travel lanes. Recent work performed here by Markland's wholly owned subsidiary Ergo Systems for the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) included the installation of new roadway embedded sensors, tire shredders and exit gates. These repairs and improvements improved both the security and traffic flow of vehicular traffic entering the United States from Mexico.

Markland's subsidiary Ergo Systems has been performing security logistics support services for the CBP for over 4 years. Ergo Systems is also a subcontractor to a team led by Accenture Ltd. which was awarded a U.S. government security contract on June 1, 2004 which may eventually be worth up to $10 billion to the team members to track foreign visitors by the use of digital photographs, fingerprints or other biometric information as part of the Department of Homeland Security's US-VISIT program. The US-VISIT program, which stands for U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology, is a large ambitious program to secure U.S. borders and the winning team led by Accenture Ltd. consists of almost 30 other U.S. government contractors.

"We are proud of our past efforts to secure the U.S. border, and look forward to our participation on the US-VISIT program as a subcontractor," said Mr. Tarini. "Additionally we are very pleased to have been selected to work with some of the most advanced technology development companies in the U.S. on the US-VISIT project."

FONAR Named #17 in the Deloitte Long Island Technology Fast 50 Program; Company Recognized by Technology Fast 50 Program for Sixth Straight Year

MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan 19, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FONAR Corporation ( FONR ), The MRI Specialist(TM), today announced that it was ranked #17 on Deloitte & Touche USA LLP's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Long Island. This is the sixth straight year that FONAR has been named to the program, thereby maintaining its designation in the Technology Gold Circle.

The Deloitte Long Island Technology Fast 50 ranks the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area, public or private, based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over the five-year period 1999 - 2003. During this period, FONAR revenues increased 75 percent, compared to the 43 percent mean average increase among companies who made the Fast 50 for the Long Island region.

Raymond V. Damadian, president and founder of FONAR said, "We are pleased and honored to be recognized by Deloitte & Touche's technology practice for our financial performance between 1999 and 2003. Our strong revenue growth during this period is directly attributable to the growing acceptance for Upright(TM) imaging by the medical community. As a result, the FONAR Upright(TM) MRI has experienced strong interest and demand since its introduction in 2001, and we expect to continue expanding and broadening the market presence for our scanner in 2005."

"The Deloitte Long Island Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment," said Adam Weisman, a partner of Deloitte & Touche LLP's technology, media and telecommunications practice and chairperson of the 2004 Long Island Technology Fast 50. "We applaud the successes of FONAR and acknowledge its place as one of the very few companies to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years."

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1999 and $1,000,000 in 2003, must be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be a "technology company" defined as owning proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, and/or devoting a significant portion of revenues to research and development.

Winners of the 19 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies. For more information on the Fast 50 or Fast 500 programs, visit www.fast50.com.

About FONAR
FONAR was incorporated in 1978, making it the first, oldest and most experienced MRI manufacturer in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. Since its inception, we have installed nearly 300 MRI scanners worldwide. FONAR's stellar product line includes the Upright(TM) MRI (also known as the Stand-Up(TM) MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position(TM) imaging (pMRI(TM)) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. With over 100,000 patients scanned, the patient-friendly Upright(TM) MRI has a near zero claustrophobic rejection rate by patients. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while they watch a 42" flat screen TV. Our latest MRI scanner is the FONAR 360(TM), a room-size recumbent scanner that optimizes openness while facilitating physician access to the patient. FONAR is headquartered on Long Island, New York, and has approximately 500 employees.

HQNT is worth a minimum of $3 to $5 per share based on the earnings the company has already announced. It should be worth even more (maybe double) based on the new business in all of the 2004 PRs. Anyone who decides thay can't wait for the audited financials to be completed can take the VERY undervalued bid price here at any time and leave, of course. My shares will stay put until Doug Cohn gets the audits completed and this stock is more properly valued again.

HomelandSecurityStocks.com Cites Chicago Sun Times Report: Chicago City Council Responds to Concerns over Taser - Orders Hearings on Cobra Stunlight ``The Non-Lethal'' Alternative

NEW YORK, Jan 19, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HomelandSecurityStocks.com (HSS)- The Chicago Sun Times, in an article published on January 16, 2004 titled "Council Seeks Taser Alternatives" reported that due to concerns over the safety of Taser, the Chicago City council will study Universal Guardian Holdings Inc ( UGHO ) Cobra Stunlight(TM).

Quoting Alderman Isaac "Ike" Carothers, chairman of the Chicago City Council Police and Fire Committee, the article also made note of the potential for a pilot program for the Cobra Stunlight(TM).

A pilot program would put the Cobra Stunlight(TM) in the hands of Chicago Police Officer's so they could personally experience and examine the advantages of Universal Guardian's "Truly Non-Lethal" alternative to "less-lethal" electro-stun devices.

Chicago's Police Department is one of the largest in the United States with over 13,000 officers. The Chicago City Council Resolution notes that "this innovative equipment, in the shape of a flashlight, permits the Chicago police professionals to restrain their suspects from a distance of up to 26 feet, by aiming a laser and shooting a non-lethal stream of pepper spray; and ... the City of Chicago should by every means necessary, equip our first line of defense with the protection they deserve..."

According to Universal Guardian Chairman Mike Skellern, the Chicago Sun Times article is "already generating inquiries from other police agencies in the Midwest."

Markland Announces Online Availability of In-Depth Interview with Noted Investor Information Source Wall Street Transcripts

Company President Describes Recent Milestones and Strategies for Continued Growth

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Jan 19, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has announced the online availability of an in-depth interview given by Company President Ken Ducey. Markland CEO Robert Tarini made the announcement.

The entire 2,500-word interview is available free online at http://www.twst.com/ceos.htm.

In the interview, Mr. Ducey describes fundamental business information about Markland Technologies, and provides an insight into the Company's strategic goals and direction for the future.

"The Wall Street Transcript is an excellent format to allow us to explain to interested investors how Markland works, where our unique value lies, and how our strategic plan will position us for continued success in the homeland security and defense sector," said Mr. Ducey. "We are a highly technical company that is moving quickly in a complex and evolving industry, and as such we welcome every chance to tell our story in a clear and detailed manner."

Markland is a developer of next-generation technologies for a number of key segments of the homeland security and defense marketplaces. Among the Company's next-generation technologies and products are imaging sensors and other tools to help soldiers and other security personnel identify potential suicide bombers and other armed attackers.

"I was particularly interested to describe Markland's business plans for the coming years," said Mr. Ducey. "We have grown our revenues significantly over the last two years. But we have also put into place business plans that we believe will enable the Company to continue to thrive in the homeland security space for the next several years, during which we expect the industry to undergo major consolidation. All of our efforts are directed towards building and increasing Markland's technological and marketplace leadership in the coming years."

Mr. Ducey describes the business strategies for acquisition and organic growth that have enabled Markland to quickly evolve from its startup phase into a Company with annual revenues of approximately $70 million. One ongoing contract, a five-year omnibus contract between wholly-owned Markland subsidiary EOIR Technologies and the U.S. Army, may potentially provide a maximum ceiling amount of up to $80 million in fiscal year revenues for Markland. The contract has a potential value of approximately $406 million over the life of the contract.

Bulldog Expands Footprint in the Retail Space with Wireless Solutions Designed for RF Tracking and Security

RICHMOND, British Columbia, Jan 18, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Bulldog Technologies Inc. ( BLLD ), a provider of wireless cargo security solutions, today announced a long-term development agreement with GOLIATH Solutions, LLC of Chicago, Illinois. The agreement contemplates Bulldog receiving an estimated $1.5 million in consulting fees, with additional development projects being anticipated in the future.**

GOLIATH Solutions will use Bulldog Technologies to develop the next generation long-range RFID and sensor solution to implement marketing compliance applications with major retail clients. GOLIATH estimates that the new readers and tags are planned to be implemented in 500 retail stores during 2005, with additional potential to install 4,000 to 8,000 stores during 2006 and beyond.

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies and retailers spend some $17 billion in trade development dollars to produce, distribute, and monitor promotional displays, fixtures and signage to increase sales, however about 50% of the time, their displays are not deployed in a timely or consistent manner. Unfortunately, retailers and CPG companies lose many millions through improperly or non-displayed signage, and lose sales from missed retail merchandising opportunities. Companies carry sizable investments for in-store advertising, because strategically positioned promotional displays/signs at the point of purchase can have a dramatic impact on consumer purchases.

According to Robert Michelson, President and CEO of GOLIATH Solutions. "After talking to a number of companies we felt that Bulldog's approach and philosophy is transferable to what we are trying to achieve with our tracking and monitoring solutions."

"The GOLIATH Solutions partnership is a strategic relationship for Bulldog, designed to widen our influence in the retail marketplace," commented Richard Booth, Vice President of Sales for Bulldog Technologies. "The wireless solutions developed for GOLIATH's tracking and monitoring of marketing compliance can be leveraged for use in retail security and RFID applications. Bulldog Technologies will derive a number of incremental revenue opportunities from this relationship."**

Bulldog is providing GOLIATH with the capability to electronically monitor in-store advertising materials by means of a unique RFID tag attached to any sign or fixture that a manufacturer or retailer wants to monitor. The tags are wirelessly read several times a day by the GOLIATH readers and sent via phone, Internet, or paging service to GOLIATH's central server.

"GOLIATH Solutions has developed a unique application that leverages Bulldog Technologies development capabilities in regards to RFID and sensor platform," stated Jay McMillan, COO of Bulldog Technologies. "Bulldog's long-range RFID and sensor networks complement GOLIATH's needs for a technology platform to monitor retail displays from long distances in real-time. We are excited about the business possibilities between GOLIATH Solutions and Bulldog Technologies," continued McMillan.**

"As GOLIATH ramps up their sales efforts we will be in an excellent position as their development partner to provide them with state-of-the-art technology," noted John Cockburn CEO and President of Bulldog Technologies.

Council Seeks Taser Alternatives
January 16, 2005
BY FRANK MAIN AND FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters

Concerned about the safety of stun guns, the City Council will study an alternative nonlethal weapon called the Cobra StunLight.The Chicago Police Department last year equipped about 200 patrol sergeants with Taser stun guns. The Taser fires barbs attached to wires that deliver 50,000 volts.In July, a Chicago Police sergeant used the weapon to immobilize a suicidal hospital patient who threatened to kill himself with a pocket knife. No one has died of a Taser shock in Chicago, but 80 people have nationwide."There is a lot of concern about the Taser," said Ald. Isaac "Ike" Carothers (29th), chairman of the Police and Fire Committee. "Some people think it hurts people. It depends on who you talk to."Taser International insists most of those 80 deaths would have happened anyway because the victims were suffering from other conditions such as heart trouble or drug overdoses.

Deaths reported
On Friday, the council passed a resolution signed by Carothers and Ald. Ed Burke (14th) for the Police and Fire Committee to hold hearings on alternative devices such as the Cobra StunLight. It looks like a flashlight and uses a laser beam to target a stream of pepper spray on suspects standing more than 21 feet away."Give us a demonstration of how it works and have the Police Department take a look at it," Carothers said."We might run a pilot just to see what the difference is," he said.StunLight's distributor, Universal Guardian Holdings, immediately touted the City Council resolution in a news release."I was extremely pleased by the enthusiastic reception we received from the City of Chicago," William Lowe, a Universal Guardian Holdings board member, said in a statement.In recent years, police departments have been experimenting with weapons such as stun guns and pepper spray as alternatives to the deadly force of a gun. More than 100,000 officers across the country carry Tasers.But departments are quickly realizing that weapons touted as being nonlethal can be deadly, too. In October, a 21-year-old college student was killed when police fired pepper-spray pellets into a rowdy crowd of Boston Red Sox fans -- prompting some major police departments to re-examine their use of those weapons.Police also are finding that situations that call for a nonlethal weapon can quickly escalate into situations that require a gun.In December, a Chicago police sergeant was preparing to fire a stun gun at a fleeing motorist when the man turned and fired a MAC-11 machine pistol at him. Officers killed the man with their pistols.

UGHO.OB: "Stunning" Investment Opportunity
Posted: danceswithbulls @ Sat Jan 15, 2005 4:55 pm

What do the companies Stinger Systems Inc (STYI.PK), Law Enforcement Associates Inc. (LENF: OTCBB), Ionatron Inc (IOTN: NASDAQ), MDM GROUP INC (MDDM: PINK), and Taser International Inc (TASR: NASDAQ) have in common? The share price of STIY price recently rose from $1.50 to $48+. LENF from .70 to $12+, IOTN from .50 to $11+, MDDM from .05 to $5+ and TASR from $2 to $33.

If you had the opportunity to invest in any of these companies before their substantial upside gains, would you have taken that opportunity? If an opportunity presented itself today for the possibility of realizing similar gains in a company that the market has yet to discover, would you invest?

LESS-LETHAL, SELF-DEFENSE DEVICES

A global climate of increased domestic demonstrations and terroist attacks have created an enormous international market demanding more effective non-lethal and less-lethal solutions by law enforcement officers, security organizations and the military.

Each of these companies and/or subsidiaries of these companies develop, market and distribute less-lethal, self-defense devices. Their respective products have enabled law enforcement officers, security organizations and the military to effectively face violent situations and keep communities around the world safe.

ELECTROSHOCK DEVICES - LESS-LETHAL -- LETHAL?

While the self-defense device market has boomed in recent years, critics are beginning to ask law enforcement agencies to re-evaluate the use of electroshock devices based on safety concerns.

A report released in November by Amnesty International, the human-rights group, attributed 74 deaths to stun guns. Tasers, which resemble handguns, fire metal barbs from as far as 21 feet away, delivering a low-amperage charge that shuts down a person's central nervous system -- making it temporarily impossible to move.

Critics have charged that the shock delivered by the supposedly non-lethal weapons can induce heart failure and related problems, especially in those susceptible to cardiac events. The ACLU and Amnesty International said the studies cast doubt on Taser's safety claims.

The ACLU said 89 deaths, thus far in the United States and Canada have been linked to police use of Tasers. Amnesty International said the use of Tasers should be suspended pending a rigorous, independent investigation into their safety.

ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES BEGIN TO RE-EVALUATE

As new information is disclosed on the potential life threatening use of electroshock devices, liabilities may extend beyond the borders of the manufacturer and to the government entites that authorize their use. Liability for death sustained during or after a person is subdued by electoshock may in fact become a serious factor in the decision making process of agencies around the world. Over 6,000 police departments in the United States and abroad have purchased TASER devices, but Countries, States, Counties and Cities with independent budgets must now re-evaluate the use of electroshock devices.

A Georgia lawmaker has sponsored a bill to prohibit the use of electroshock devices, including Tasers, by on-duty officers. If authorities fail to comply, the legislature would withhold state money and any state-administered federal funding, such as homeland security grants.

Tennessee law enforcement officers said they are concerned similar proposals might surface in the Volunteer State. Additional State and local governments are expected to follow soon.

In a related resolution, the bill's sponsor, state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, also urges policing agencies to suspend Taser use until a "rigorous, independent and impartial inquiry" can be done.

"We're trying to call attention to the fact that innocent people are dying long before they are even charged, indicted, convicted and sentenced," Rep. Brooks said.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR NON-LETHAL ALTERNATIVES

Enforcement agencies around the world must now reconsider the use of electroshock devices and consider alternatives. The evaluation of non-electroshock devices that accomplish the respective goals of these agencies while protecting the public will now become a serious contender for agency dollars and a potential booming niche market moving forward.

On January 11, 2005, Taser (TASR: NASDAQ) shocked investors when it announced that orders for the first half of 2005 may be delayed while law enforcement agencies test competitors' products.

UNIVERSAL GUARDIAN TAKES CENTER STAGE

A company that has already taken a substantial leap into this dramatic new market development is Universal Guardian Holdings Inc. (UGHO: OTCBB) and their subsidiary Shield Defense International which designs and produces unique and patented non-lethal weapons one of which is the Cobra StunLight(TM).

Cobra StunLight Illuminates Target and Laser aimed Accuracy delivers a stream of debilitating non-lethal capsaicin II chemical from up to 21 ft away, approximately the same distance the potentially lethal electroshock devices can reach.

On January 13, 2004, the company announced the adoption of a Resolution introduced by Alderman Edward M. Burke, former Chicago policeman and current Chairman of the Chicago City Council Committee on Finance, concerning Universal Guardian's Cobra StunLight(TM), "The Truly Non-Lethal" alternative. The Resolution was immediately referred to Chicago's Committee on Police and Fire. The Chicago Police Force is among the nations largest and most respected police forces employing more than 13,000 police officers.

Mr. Skellern, CEO of Universal Guardian said, "I believe that this is an important first step in demonstrating the value of providing law enforcement with an everyday tool that is a truly non-lethal alternative. We have been engaged in similar discussions with other major law enforcement departments as we ramp up our Cobra StunLight(TM) manufacturing capability for distribution to law enforcement agencies worldwide."

INVESTOR OUTLOOK

From a historical perspective, homeland security stocks have sustained considerable gains over the past few years. Self-defense companies Stinger Systems Inc (STYI.PK), Law Enforcement Associates Inc. (LENF: OTCBB), Ionatron Inc (IOTN,: NASDAQ), MDM GROUP INC (MDDM: PINK), and Taser International Inc (TASR: NASDAQ) have all performed exceptionally well. Many shareholders realized gains exceeding 1000% in less than a year.

However, as agencies and organizatons begin to evaluate the benefits of the "Truly Non-Lethal" Cobra Stunlight in response to continuing new reports about the lethality of the TASER stungun, UGHO shareholders are now presented with a "stunning" opportunity for incredible gains on their investments that may be similar to the gains realized by the companies discussed.

Markland Completes Development of Army-Funded Wireless Surveillance Sensor Communication and Control System; Device Provides Wide Range of Remote Networking Capability for Advanced Military Sensors
1/14/2005 4:01:00 PM

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Jan 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, announced today that it has recently completed the development of an advanced wireless-based remote surveillance sensor device under a contract with an advanced U.S. Army laboratory. Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland, made the announcement.

Markland developed the new Universal Sensor Remote Device (USRD) under funding provided by the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). Markland's wholly owned subsidiary EOIR Technologies Inc. is now prepared to market the device to government agencies at all levels.

The USRD receives multiple remote military field surveillance sensor inputs and sends the digital data streams back to a base station for analysis and display. The device is designed to be flexible, to accept a range of different types of surveillance sensor inputs, and to provide control via remote input. Personnel at a surveillance base station are able to control the remote systems and select the appropriate transmission method, such as wired or wireless - including radio modem or wireless LAN systems - depending upon surveillance sensor bandwidth and distance requirements. The USRD system is designed to leverage existing standard communication and sensor protocols to ensure interoperability with a large percentage of existing systems, as well as a high degree of ease of operation.

"We believe the USRD will make a significant contribution to our military customer, but it also has the potential to provide important capabilities for domestic Homeland Security customers who are working to protect infrastructure assets such as rail yards, shipping facilities, airports, nuclear facilities or any other locations where security and surveillance sensors are employed," said Mr. Tarini. "We are pleased to have been selected to work with some of the most advanced technology development teams in the U.S. military and to have the opportunity to make a positive difference in protecting troops and civilians through major development programs such as the Universal Sensor Remote Device."

The Army's NVESD research and development group is one of the U.S. military's most advanced technological leaders and has been responsible for numerous key innovations in the fields of optical electronics and thermal imaging for weapons targeting, electronic surveillance and other mission-critical military applications. Markland is working on a range of next-generation technology solutions for the NVESD, including night vision and advanced sensor applications, and other threat-detection systems. This product development effort was performed under an ongoing five-year omnibus contract which may provide a maximum award ceiling amount of up to $80 million in fiscal year revenues for Markland. The contract has a potential value of approximately $406 million over the life of the contract.

UGHO does like to put out significant news when the shorts least expect it. Yesterday's PR was issued after 7pm est. Note: Shorting a high potential stock like this can lead to some very restless nights. In the long run, all the shorts in TASR were totally destroyed even though they patted themselves on the back a few times for making some quick and lucky flips. Never short a stun-gun stock. The real money goes to the long and strong.

All the non-lethal weapons stocks are making excellent gains but nothing happens as fast as everyone wants. LENF was a great example. That stock was under $1.00 in the summer of '04 and it hit a new high of $12.75 this week on continued announcements of their new stun-guns. UGHO is just getting started but yesterday's PR shows the product is being accepted and will sell. Hold UGHO more than "short term" and there can be a great return here.

The Resolution, adopted by the Mayor and the members of the City Council of the City of Chicago on January 11, 2005, recognized the innovative technology presented by the Cobra StunLight(TM). In the words of the Resolution, "WHEREAS, the City of Chicago should by every means necessary, equip our first line of defense with the protection they deserve and [the] technology found in the Cobra StunLight(TM) allows the men and women of the Chicago Police Department the advantage of a safe standoff distance ... NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Mayor and the members of the Chicago City Council ... do hereby urge the Committee on Police and Fire to hold hearings concerning alternate safety methods and latest technology found in the Cobra StunLight(TM)."

Michael Skellern, CEO of Universal Guardian said, "We look forward to appearing before the Committee on Police and Fire to submit our presentation as to how the Chicago Police Department may implement a pilot program utilizing the Cobra StunLight(TM)."

"I was extremely pleased by the enthusiastic reception we received from the City of Chicago," stated William C. Lowe, a member of Universal's Board of Directors and former Chairman and CEO of Gulfstream Aerospace, who attended the meeting. "It was apparent that the Cobra StunLight(TM) with its laser- aimed accuracy and ability to protect Chicago police officers from multiple assailants at safe-standoff distances of more than 21 feet, offered a cost- effective replacement to the standard police flashlight," continued Mr. Lowe.

Mr. Skellern continued, "I believe that this is an important first step in demonstrating the value of providing law enforcement with an everyday tool that is a truly non-lethal alternative. We have been engaged in similar discussions with other major law enforcement departments as we ramp up our Cobra StunLight(TM) manufacturing capability for distribution to law enforcement agencies worldwide."

There you have named the single most important factor in this situation. Doug Cohn holds a huge position in HQNT stock and the only way he will ever benefit is if he gets the financials published. Anyone who says Cohn is not going to release the reports and let this stock remain in limbo forever is not thinking clearly (or is a lying stock basher).

FONAR Announces Installation of First Stand-Up MRI In Alabama; Birmingham Center is the Second Medica Facility to Use FONAR Upright MRI Technology

MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan 13, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The MRI Specialist(TM), announced the installation of its Upright(TM) MRI, also known as the Stand-Up(TM) MRI, at Medica Stand-Up MRI of Birmingham. The center, a partnership between Dynamic Imaging of Birmingham and Medica Stand-Up MRI of Atlanta, is the second Medica facility to utilize the FONAR technology. Medica Stand-Up MRI of Birmingham is located at 3105 Independence Drive in Homewood, Alabama.

"We decided to open the Homewood, Alabama facility because of the success of our first Stand-Up(TM) MRI in Atlanta and the demand we were seeing from physicians in Birmingham and other areas of Alabama," said Kay Baker, Vice President of Operations for Medica Stand-Up MRI. "The FONAR Stand-Up(TM) MRI offers the community technology that no other MRI possesses. For example, only using FONAR Stand-Up(TM) MRI can a patient be imaged in the position of pain, in weight-bearing positions or in positions of flexion and extension. Its totally open architecture makes it the only truly Open MRI that is able to scan patients as large as 500 lbs. It is ideal for even the most severe claustrophobic patient."

"We have been open just a month and over 35 different physicians in the area have sent patients to the new Medica Stand-Up MRI of Birmingham center," added Ms. Baker. "We have even had calls from other MRI facilities where patients have not been able to complete their exams due to claustrophobia or the inability to lie down flat. Medica Stand-Up MRI of Birmingham has been able to accommodate these patients, and they were thrilled to be able to complete their exams."

Raymond V. Damadian, president and founder of FONAR said, "I am naturally pleased when a customer makes an additional purchase because of their past success with their FONAR Upright(TM) MRI scanner. Medica Stand-Up MRI repeatedly demonstrates a strong commitment to acquiring the best medical technology and providing optimal care and service to their patients and communities."

In addition, Galaxy Minerals stated that even though we have not completed work relating to grades, talks with Senior Geologist Craig Parkinson concluded that from historical data the values were quite high but explained that even at a low 1/4 ounce per ton, that's approximately 285,000 Ounces of Gold just on the Yellow Jacket Mine (not including the minerals on the adjoining Phoenix Mine).

President/CEO Matthew Symonds Remarked that "In my opinion, Galaxy Minerals Inc. is destined to be a world class exploration and mining corporation. The decision to mine the Yellow Jacket Gold Mine is something that was not just thought of overnight. Everyone in our company has given 101% of themselves to get to where we are now and all that hard work and time is paying off."

Spearheading the Yellow Jacket Mine project is Senior Geologist Craig Parkinson of Parkinson Geologic Services (Parkinsongeologic.com), who has over 25 years experience and is a registered practicing geologist in 12 States (AZ-REG#30843 & AIPG#10098). He is currently reviewing all available data including recent Drilling and subsequent sampling and is expected to confirm the average Gold grade and the initial blocked out gold reserve for the Yellow Jacket Mine.

FLYi, Inc. (NasdaqNM: FLYI - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=flyi ): FLYi, Inc., parent of low-fare airline Independence Air, stated today that it has finalized an agreement with GE Commercial Aviation Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("GECAS") to provide for the early termination of leases on ten regional jet aircraft during the first quarter of 2005. The ten aircraft will be removed from service after February 1 and will not affect the company's flight schedule that is currently available for booking. The agreement also does not affect the company's Airbus A319 operations, which will continue to operate on their previously announced schedules, with existing non-stop service between Washington Dulles International Airport and Tampa and Orlando, and new non-stop service from Washington Dulles to West Palm Beach, FL to begin on February 1, 2005 and service to Fort Myers, FL beginning February 17, 2005.

In addition to the agreement for early lease terminations on ten regional jet aircraft, the company has also entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with GECAS that, subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions, provides for GECAS to extend the company a secured 5-year term loan in the amount of $19.5 million, and addresses the restructuring of obligations with respect to 27 additional regional jets as to which GECAS has provided financing. Specifically, with respect to these regional jets, the MOU provides for the early termination of leases for between six and ten additional regional jet aircraft during the second quarter of 2005 under terms similar to the first ten aircraft and, provides that GECAS will consent to the restructuring of rentals to defer a significant portion of the payments due through April 30, 2006. The MOU is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the remaining financing parties in the 27 aircraft to restructure payments which are due to them, and including the requirement that the company reach similar agreements with the lenders and lessors on other aircraft. The company is filing an SEC Form 8-K setting forth additional information on the company's agreement and MOU with GECAS.

The company views the agreement and MOU with GECAS as an important step in the company's efforts to restructure its obligations with its aircraft lenders and lessors. The company is continuing to engage in discussions and negotiations with those parties. However, there is no assurance that the conditions in the MOU with GECAS will be satisfied, including the condition that other aircraft financing parties agree to defer or restructure the company's obligations on similar terms, or that the company otherwise will be able to address and resolve its liquidity issues.

Independence Air currently offers service to a total of 38 destinations- with flights to West Palm Beach, FL scheduled to begin on February 1st and service to Fort Myers, FL scheduled for February 17th. The Independence Air hub at Washington Dulles is the largest low-fare hub in America in terms of total departures.

MDM Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MDDM - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MDDM.PK ): MDM Group, Inc. -- Non Lethal Weapons for Law Enforcement, Military and Anti-Terrorism is a development stage advanced technologies company working on ShockRounds(TM) which are a potential breakthrough product for the law enforcement industry, the military and border control and anti-terrorism initiatives, due to their versatility and multiple applications. When fired, a ShockRounds(TM) specialized bullet generates an extremely high voltage charge.

This voltage discharges instantly upon impact causing immediate target incapacitation.

Taser International Inc (NasdaqNM: TASR - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=tasr ): Taser International Inc.'s stock plunged more than 22 percent Tuesday after the company said it may see some delays in orders in the first half of fiscal 2005, as potential customers test and evaluate rivals' products.

The Scottsdale, Ariz. stun-gun maker made the disclosure in an open letter to shareholders and customers -- which the company normally only publishes in conjunction with it annual report -- intended to ease investors' concerns amid an informal Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry into the safety of its less-than-lethal weapons and the timing of a sale to a distributor.

Since its disclosure of the informal SEC inquiry, Taser shares have plummeted more than 43 percent from its closing Jan. 6, including a drop Monday of 11.8 percent.

After the markets closed Jan. 6, Taser said it was cooperating with the informal SEC inquiry into its safety statements, as well as a sale to distributor Davidson Inc.

The sale raised the eyebrows of at least one analyst, Gradient Analytics' Rob Miceli, given that it came just 11 days before the end of the quarter, possibly allowing the company to meet its fourth-quarter and full-year revenue forecasts.

Morgan Keegan told clients in a note Tuesday that although it's maintaining its "market perform" rating on the stock and likes its long-term prospects, it has concerns regarding the SEC inquiry, as well as rivals' product offerings.

"We are also concerned that potential competition may slow down Taser sales to the law enforcement community in the first half of 2005," said the broker in a note. "We see some competition coming into the company's market in the next few of months. We believe that despite these new entrants, Taser will continue to penetrate domestic and international markets."

Insider sales explained

In addition, Taser disclosed insider sales, in which Phil Smith, who retired as chairman Dec. 31, sold most of the Taser stock he owned.

Meanwhile, co-founders Tom Smith and Rick Smith sold about 22 percent of their respective Taser share holdings in the fourth quarter.

"We still retain a significant majority of our personal assets," Tom Smith and Rick Smith said in the letter. "Hence, we feel that the rumors about us 'bailing out' are not fair, nor accurate."

Executives at Taser International have profited well from the company's sharp stock swings over the past year, despite controversial news reports about the company's main product.

According to insider trading data from Thomson Financial, executives and board members at Taser sold more than $125 million of shares during 2004.

In the previous year, insider sales totaled about $17.3 million, according to Thomson data.

The bulk of those sales came in November, as Taser shares crossed into record territory above $30, on a split-adjusted basis. Insiders sold off $61.6 million of shares during the month.

Members of the company's founding family have made the most profitable insider transactions this year.

Chairman Phillips Smith and sons Patrick and Thomas -- who serve as the company's CEO and president, respectively -- sold about $105 million of shares in 2004. A portion of those shares were acquired through the exercise of options.

The stock made sharp swings in both directions last year as news of new contracts was offset by reports questioning the safety of the company's products.

On November 8, Taser shares jumped 16 percent after its stun guns were cleared for use aboard planes by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.

That gain was offset by a New York Times article later in the month reporting an unreleased government study that reportedly found the company's stun guns to be dangerous in certain circumstances.

Markland Releases Corporate Video Introducing New Suicide-Bomber Detection Systems; Video Presentation Available Online To All Interested Investors and Industry Researchers

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Jan 12, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Markland Technologies, Inc. ( MRKL ), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, invites interested investors to view an online video presentation of the Company's next-generation suicide bomber detection systems, currently in development under contract to the U.S. Army. The announcement was made by Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland.
The video can be viewed at the following link:

http://www.trilogy-capital.com/tcp/markland/markland_video.html.

There is no charge to view the video.

Markland subsidiary EOIR has developed a unique three-tiered screening system that combines a range of existing thermal imaging and other advanced sensor technology with new Markland-developed software analysis techniques. Together, they generate improved detection capabilities which the company believes can be significantly more powerful than any single system.

The new, integrated system is designed to detect suicide bombers and other armed attackers from greater distances and with greater dependability than is currently possible under existing protocols. The goal is to identify and stop terrorists and other assailants before they can carry out their attacks.

"Military leaders have made it clear that the development of more effective technologies and methods to stop suicide bombers is a top priority, and Markland has responded with an approach that we believe will yield the best results in the shortest possible time," said Mr. Tarini.

The military has funded development of the suicide bomber detection systems; however, Markland management expects the products and technologies will also be employed in civilian settings in the United States, including federal buildings, shopping areas, sporting events and other potential terrorist targets. "We hope that such attacks don't occur on American soil, but we cannot ignore the risk," said Mr. Tarini. "We believe our products will eventually provide an additional measure of security for innocent civilians in the U.S. and abroad."

Approximately ten different detection technologies comprise the Markland suicide detection protocols, among them: thermal and electromagnetic sensors and imaging systems, vapor sensors, metal and chemical detection processes to spot firearms and explosives, and systems that can identify biological, radiological and other threats. Most of the individual systems are already proven through longtime use by the military and in civilian implementations around the world, contributing to the Markland system's robustness and dependability.

One of the most important elements of the entire protocol is Markland's proprietary "stand-off" detection system - detection technologies capable of identifying potential threats at far greater distances than had previously been achieved. Precise distances are classified by the military, but such long range detection is a critical part of identifying and stopping dangerous individuals before they can reach their targets and cause bloodshed.

EOIR is conducting the development under a five-year omnibus contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), one of the military's most advanced research and development arms. The ongoing five-year omnibus contract may potentially provide a maximum ceiling amount of up to $80 million in fiscal year revenues for Markland. The contract has a potential value of approximately $406 million over the life of the contract.

About Markland Technologies
Markland Technologies, Inc. is committed to setting next-generation standards in defense and security through the provision of innovative emerging technologies and expert services. The Company is engaged in the identification of advanced technologies currently under development in laboratories, universities and in private industry, and in the transformation of those technologies into next-generation products.

With so many developments over the past six months, as their Shield Defense Non-Lethal Weapons subsidiary moves to market with the Cobra Stunlight(R), the "Truly Non-Lethal" alternative and with additional developments in their Secure Risks integrated risk management operation, we took the opportunity to revise our Small Cap Spotlight on Universal Guardian to make the information more readily accessible for our viewers and to make updates available as new developments occur in the future.

GVI Security Solutions, Inc. Highlights

With over $70 million in annual sales, GVIS' Security solutions have received enthusiastic customer reception from their client base that includes high threat, high profile installations such as the Port of Miami, Port of Tampa, New York City Transit Authority, Stapleton Airport, JFK Airport, Federal Express ( FDX ), CitiGroup ( C ) and many other corporate and government customers.

The value of GVIS to investors was highlighted in December 2004 when GVIS completed a $33.9 million dollar equity funding. This large investment in GVIS by a group of sophisticated investors spearheaded by lead investor The Pinnacle Fund, L.P. represents a strong vote of confidence in GVIS management's ability to execute on their plans to become the leading pure play Enterprise Solutions provider in the Homeland Security industry.

UGHO Highlights
In a recent HSS Newsmaker Interview available in the HSS Small Cap Spotlight, Captain Dennis Cole, President of UGHO's Shield Defense Non-Lethal weapons subsidiary details the advantages of the Cobra Stunlight(R), the "Truly Non-Lethal" alternative, versus the potentially lethal effects of so called "less lethal" weapons from industry competitors like TASER ( TASR ) and its imitators.

The "Truly Non-Lethal" advantage of the Cobra Stunlight(R) makes it the ideal choice for civilians, as well as law enforcement and military personnel. The potential for acceptance in the global civilian market that has eluded TASER potentially opens an important market opportunity for Universal Guardian.

Appreciate the info but it would be best NOT to post such things on the open message boards until the company decides to release the information. The shorts who spend thousands of hours trying to bash HQNT on these message boards do not deserve any new info on company operations or customers. They have been known to try to cause trouble when they have specific contacts. This is the reason HQNT does not release much of its customer info and I fully agree with the policy. You will note that the bashers complain quite often that customers are not identified in HQNT PRs. No reason to help them in their dirty work trying to harm HQNT's business.

I would not sell any HQNT shares, even free ones, for anything under $1.50 at least. The current stock price in no way reflects the eps already announced by the company and the PRs of 2004. However much longer it takes, HQNT is a hold until we see the reports out.
