"Crow...I did my best to start a legitimate lawsuit but of the two people I got my group involved with:
One sold out and was feeding our plans and strategy to the opposing attorney. The other person ended up as one of the plaintiff's for the attorney, who's legal action we were supposed to be going after. Not to mention he lied to shareholders on how he ended up in that position.
I called him on it and I have the email he sent to me acknowledging that he lied! It seems there's not many you can trust that are involved with this stock."

Capnmike, sir I will only respond to you since I was contacted this evening via email asking that I answer you. Please see the date of my visit and please look at the vague information from the privately held Baxa. Bottom line to all of this I firmly believe that you are still a fraud trying to drum up support for the view of misconception. You should read my post clearly and you will read there was a relationship between the hospital and CDEX but not way the certain people led us to believe.
Thank You

Raiderman and Diddy, sirs I wanted to touch base with the both of you in regards to my visit today at the Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. First after waiting about 20 mins on the Admin floor, I was finally helped by someone in public relations who in turn walked me down to the pharmacy where the Valimed device is used. After brief introductions with the senior pharmacist I asked if I could see the system and watch either a demonstration or test of the device. The senior pharmacist looked right at me and said that would be impossible, as they have not tested the device themselves, since it is not located inside the pharmacy.
When I presented them with a copy of the press release, they said that they in fact have a relationship with Valimed but they had not heard the name or company called CDEX. I asked what type of relationship it is and it was relayed to me that the medical center provides them with support and answers questions regarding grades, levels and type of drugs for which a footprint would be developed. It is their understanding that once the database is completed and analysis is reviewed, then a prototype will be created. I asked, “if the prototype be placed here at the center” and the senior pharmacist was “hoping that would be the case”. He then implied that based on what he is hearing it could be a long process and based upon our 20-minute conversion he did agree that the FDA would have to be a major factor in determining if the device could be used in a commercial environment. According to other sources inside the Medical Center and the parent company there has been no discussion of pricing, number of units, or the availability of any device as of today. He did take my number and he promised to get back to me after he spoke with Dr. Tourville, who is his manager.
I shall wait, as I am quite interested in the final outcome. Raiderman, I would really appreciate your feedback of what took place with my site visit, however no spin.
Thank You

Raiderman and Capnmike, sirs just a couple of points if I may. First of all Raiderman I do love your take on everything as it is always good for CDEX. However this time your wrong and it is not the first time (are you sure your not Tomsheboy). Infrigment of a patent is very serious and has nothing to do with your logic, plain and simple the plaintiff had it first and just wants to protect their's. Now let's think for a minute, the suit was filed last week, the company notified CDEX in January (was MP still running the show), MP walks away with no feedback to the plaintiff and now this. Raiderman wonder who has the deep pockets to fight this and keep it in court? Wonder who will give first? Quite the scam artist you are.
Capnmike, sir it is quite amazing as if you look at the last time you quit posting was 3 days before the downfall of Loch (quite a track record)and then announce the day before you are going to cut way back on posting and then CDEX gets hit with a major lawsuit. Also you never did answer my question in regards how you produced a press release before it came out (remember the Washington affair). I just don't know why you don't let the people here know the truth that you are a insider and was told what to place and when to place. Don't forget we do know some of the same people. This is quite an interesting tale you weave.
Thank You
Crow,
"Perp # 1 and perp # 2 using a very friendly MM.. trading like 100,000 shares. Perp1 sells to perp2 who turns around and sells back to perp1.. 200,000
reported volume..true volume..zero."
According to Art's theory, wouldn't that be a volume of 400K?
Closer sure seems to know a lot about how much money DaBoyz made off the Loch scam.
Of course, he didn't do to bad himself, even posted once that he bought a second house from his gains.
Crow,
Remember Artabraham's argument:
The volume on 7-10 was 26,300 and Shriver sold 11,085 shares
42 percent of the shares traded were his.
According to Art, Shriver's sell accounts for a volume of 22,170 or 84% of the shares traded. In other words, virtually no one is trading this stock besides Shrivers slow dumping.

Excuse me Paige, I barely made it to "SafePill 5" before I was ROTFLMAO!!!
That is what you call Penny Stock Advertising!
Just insert your message board stock promoters, add a crisis situation, sprinkle with a "life saving" product, mix thoroughly with current news events and..... Vola!
PP sales and insider dinero!
Paige, will the meth gun detect trace explosives?
If not... WHY NOT?
Are you following me.. some peole are but they're afraid to reply. Very afraid.
LOL!!!!!! Come on Paige, that SafePill 168, SafePill 169...
Exactly like the suite of airport security products!
Same BS, different day.
"I called him on it and I have the email he sent to me acknowledging that he lied! It seems there's not many you can trust that are involved with this stock."
That's becaues that person is an insider or as AXTMAN says "a fraud".
I remember when that happen and reading the posts on the not-so-private board.
Last minute change of plans, insider in, stormy out.
Ahhhh Paige, how cute..
You really did miss debating with Crow on the other board didn't ya? LOL
How disgusting is that when at the same time their only focus was on lining their own pockets! That's like smiling while you're twisting the knife.
Paige, Valimed is "bulk and under an inch" validation, I wasn't referring to the meth gun. Every concept product advertised by Loch/CDEx was "trace detection", yet their very first product was "bulk and under an inch".
After all the hyping about the revolutionary tech "bulk and under an inch" was not impressive in the least. However, the application and market was novel and interesting to follow.
It appears that the very first "trace detection" product which Loch/CDEx has a chance of producing is the meth gun. Trace is what I wanted to hear and they finally said it. They must have been monitoring the boards after I questioned the term miniscule [sic]! LOL
Now investors need to know the stand-off distance and corresponding shoot time. With all the grandstanding Loch/CDEx has done over the years, all the incomplete test reports, the missing data... now claiming the device is "open air" simply doesn't cut it for me- I trust them 0%.
Is it trace detection at 34 inches in a "very rapid" 3-6 seconds shoot time? LOL NO!
Will it only be effective for detecting trace quantities of highly fluorecscent chemicals?
Will it detect trace explosives as well as it does meth?
All investors should want to know that last question. That's the difference between a multi-market product and an uncertain niche market IMO.
Don't you think detecting trace meth and explosives would go hand-in-hand! Now that would be impressive, the cops would love it!!
~out
Valimed was designed to check liquids, in fact, how large is that new cuvette? Will a pill fit into it? Maybe a small pill? Can the new cuvette port on Valimed still hold the larger, original cuvettes?
The Valimed device can check the authenticity of some pills, but no one would buy a Valimed with the intent of using it for the sole purpose of checking pills IMO.
Baxa has exclusive distribution rights for Valimed which will augment their specialty product line which is medical devices for the handling and administering of liquid medications!
Last Question: How many signatures does Valimed have available for PILLS?
Thank you.
Where is SafePill? SafePill morphed into Valimed. Not a word ever mentioned about SafePill again.
New CDEx Concept Product...

Spammed endlessly by Capnmike on the RB board.
Hey, they could just shine it on the driver of the car and in a matter of seconds know everything! LOL
A very important question!!! Will the meth gun detect trace explosives?
My turn Paige/Crow....
"If the hauler is also a user, and is careless anough to leave an invisible sprinkle or two on his floor mat, then that trace is detected by the meth gun.. and the Cop uses that as probable cause to search.. and he asks for permission to search..and the hauler says no..he has to get a warrent to search."
If the cop detects a "miniscule" [sic] amount of meth in the car, that should be probable cause to search the car without obtaining a search warrant or asking permission IMO. If that's not the case, then the meth gun is not everything it can be!
What would happen if a K-9 unit pulled over a suspect and detected meth? Would the officer have probable cause to search the vehicle without permission or a SW?
What needs to be clarified is "trace detection" vs. "probable cause". How does it work with dogs? They sure as heII can search luggage at the airport.
Paige, if trace meth is detected, they search the vehicle and no meth is found do you think they can take the person in for questioning and impound the car?
Will the Meth Gun detect "trace" explosives?
The PS3 which CDEX started marketing 3 1/2 years ago allegedly could.
Speaking of the meth gun...
Will the meth gun detect trace explosives?
Isn't it the PS3 in a gun?
Poster "wpoteet" from the RM message board claimed the core tech could detect trace explosives at a stand-off distance of 34 inches in 5-12 seconds. Stand-off distances of two meters was reported to require up to 300 seconds.
Actually, I can't remember whether he used the word "trace" or not. But everything Loch Harris/CDEX has ever advertised has been "trace" up until Valimed, then it became "bulk at under an inch".
"Turns out that Valimed checks only liquid medicines.. Bye Bye Pill Checker."
90% of all prescriptions are in the solid dosage form. UV cannot penetrate a significant percentage of solid meds due to the protective titanium dioxide outside coating.
For that matter, niether can IR, that's why a Pill Checker (TM- Crow) needs to have several different ways of confirming a prescription drug. Size, shape, color, surface texture....
Read about ASD's RxSpec or give them a call and learn more. That is why RxSpec operates in the VIS-NIR range for pills.
When they design a system for solutions I'll bet they include UV or UVF as well.
There's no magic box that can do it all. And no, the much touted SafePill will NOT solve the world's counterfeit prescription drug problem.
Not even the meth gun, if it works satisfactory (esp. for things other than meth), will solve the meth problem.

Detroit, please stay on topic- CDEX. The topic is not about the people that post here. If you disagree with an opinion you can express your own.
And please no more name calling.
Crow, I've been wondering if a cop needs probable cause to use the meth gun in the first place. Can a cop perform such a specifically targeted test for meth without probable cause?
If a cop needs probable cause, then can't the same probable cause allow them to perform a standard search for possession?
How often will the meth gun find trace evidence where a standard search yields nothing?
Will trace evidence hold up in court or will it serve only to justify a search warrant?
Xeno, isn't CDEX's latest meth gun pat app a design patent and not a utility patent?
Crow,
Some chemicals fluoresce, some don't, some fluoresce strongly like most aromatic compounds such as benzene, m-xylene, p-xylene, toluene and methamphetamine all containing the phenyl group.
Our message board stock promoters have been hyping how fast the meth gun is as seen in the mock-up promotional video.
Here's some observations:
1. The meth gun is being promoted as having the competitive advantage of detecting trace quantities of meth, that appears to me to be the market niche. The promotional video shows several large piles of white powder (bulk) being tested. Please show us how fast trace detection works.
2. The gun is under two inches away from the bulk piles. Please show us how fast the gun works with trace detection from at least 18 inches away (like the video of the cop pointing the gun into the car from the open driver's side window). Better yet, show us trace detection at 34 inches in about 5-12 seconds as stated by RB poster "wpoteet".
3. The meth gun is based on the same core technology that could not perform to Army satisfaction to continue further development. Please show us that the meth gun has a scan distance, scan footprint and shoot time that is practicle for it's intented use- unlike the Army conclusion.
4. If the meth gun will not perform as well for other chemicals as it does for meth please list the chemicals which it will effectively detect that may likely be found in a meth lab environment, for example, meth lab precursor chemicals.
5. I find it highly misleading to read posts from message board stock promoters claiming the meth gun has a shoot time of 3-6 seconds just because they seen a promotional video testing an unknown bulk pile of white powder at under two inches. A cop doesn't need a meth gun to arrest a suspect for probable cause if such quantites of white powder are discovered IMO.
6. The longer the stand-off distance the longer the shoot time.
7. The smaller the concentration, the longer the shoot time.
I agree Crow. Too bad some have lost nearly 80% of their investment by holding.
It's going to be tough for non-insiders to break even.
I will clarify my question. What else is very similar between the pioneering (first of it's kind) reserach at Sandia and the CDEx meth gun, besides the fact that Dr. Poteet and Harold Cauthen both reportedly worked with Sandia back in 1995 and both are currently listed as inventors on CDEx patent applications (see bold text below)?
Not even the sky is the limit for OSEM
Richard Ducote. Arizona Daily Star. Tucson, Ariz.: Apr 23, 1995.
MADE IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA
Things are looking up at OSEM Inc. - and not just because the company makes telescopes.
When it was founded last summer, OSEM had three employees. It now has 25 and is looking to expand by 10 more.
The company name stands for Optical Systems Engineering and Manufacturing, and that is a fairly good shorthand profile of what OSEM does.
It occupies three separate locations in an industrial area near Interstate 10 and West Prince Road and serves customers worldwide.
Henry Blair, the company's chief executive, says he "conservatively" expects to book sales this year of about $13 million and hit actual revenues of $8.5 million. Gross profit, before taxes and reinvestment in the company, should be about $1.6 million for the privately held company, he says.
In its six months in business last year, total sales were about $1 million and gross profit was $314,000, he added.
But OSEM didn't just appear in the business galaxy out of nowhere. It is the successor to Henry M. Blair Consulting, founded in July 1992.
Blair, who holds a Ph.D. in engineering, thinks his company has no rival in the private sector anywhere in the world for expertise in optical instrument design and manufacturing.
In fact, Blair says, his company really has only two rivals, and they are both more like "one man" operations that subcontract nearly all the component manufacturing for systems.
He says OSEM's ability to design and manufacture sophisticated instruments in quantity and nearly all in-house will put it in a very competitive position.
The key, he says, is the company's ability to make "low-cost, high-performance mirrors" because of Tucson's wealth of resources in optics and astronomy.
"We like Tucson," he says, because astronomy likes Tucson's weather and mountains, which Blair calls the source of the UA's reputation in the field.
While astronomy has been here for decades, the opportunity for a company like OSEM is a recent development, according to Blair.
The decline of government-supported "big science," as demonstrated by cancellation of the Super Collider project, has opened the way for greater use of more but smaller instruments - just the field OSEM intends to plow.
"Small," of course, is relative. OSEM can build scopes with mirrors up to 2.5 meters in diameter, the size of the Mount Wilson scope in California that was the biggest in the world at one time.
Today's biggest optical scope has a main mirror 10 meters in diameter.
Blair's goal, however, is to compete in the field for smaller instruments by putting together a vertically integrated company to produce optical systems at about 40 percent below the cost of traditional custom design and build methods.
Blair essentially wants to adapt mass production and automation to the optical instrument field.
In February, the company was chosen to build two telescopes for the University of Massachusetts - the so-called 2MASS Project, which stands for Two Micron All Sky Survey.
The telescope system will map the entire sky from telescopes in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
OSEM will design and install the first 1.3-meter telescope at Mount Hopkins, 40 miles south of Tucson, by January.
A twin unit will be built at Chile's Cerro Tololo about a year later, Blair said. The contract for just the Mount Hopkins scope is about $650,000, he added.
The 2MASS contract calls for OSEM to provide the telescope, large optics, a digital focusing system, drives, system computers, a finder telescope, mirror handling equipment and other systems.
Much of the OSEM staff was recruited from University of Arizona astronomy and mirror lab programs. Blair is more direct:"Raiding is what we do," he shrugs.
Company facilities will soon house five mirror-casting furnaces, a key ingredient in the OSEM strategy of building its own components to cut costs.
A 1-meter instrument will sell for a bargain $280,000, Blair says, about $200,000 below the cost of a custom scope the same size. A 2-meter OSEM scope will sell for about $590,900, he says, about half the cost of competitive hardware.
Blair said that as "big science" slows down, demand will increase for instruments like those offered by OSEM.
In astronomy, he says, discoveries are made with large instruments, but the diligent science spurred by the discovery is done on small scopes.
Blair was project manager for the Smithsonian Institution/UA Multiple Mirror Telescope on Mount Hopkins, the two existing Mount Graham scopes, and was engineer or manager on numerous other optical projects.
The company's director of optical projects, Lawrence K. Randall, has worked for the European Space Agency, the National Science Foundation, Kitt Peak National Observatory and numerous other groups.
OSEM project scientist Wade M. Poteet, an astronomer, is a veteran of the UA Spacelab-2 IR Telescope Project and has worked on Department of Energy, Sandia Labs and NASA projects as well.
The company's mirror lab director, Walter Stoss, worked on various Steward Observatory mirror lab jobs.
Peter Wangsness, head of casting process development for OSEM, also was involved with the UA mirror lab and developed a process for producing lightweight honeycomb glass mirrors.
Roberta McMillan, OSEM systems staff engineer, worked on lunar instruments carried to the moon by NASA astronauts, designed mirror-polishing components at the UA, and was involved in numerous other optical projects.Software development specialist Fatima Lopez is responsible for programming the company's mirror furnace temperature control system and other systems. Systems engineer Harold K. Cauthen is a specialist in laser applications and has worked for NASA and Sandia Labs projects.
Fabrication manager Kent Johnson has extensive UA Mirror Lab experience.
Engineer Robert L. Meeks was start-up engineer for the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope on Mount Graham.
Michael Nakamura, with 13 years of experience in optics, is in charge of large optical finishing.
Vince Luongo, with 30 years of experience at IBM in various production and reliability posts, is OSEM production manager.
In addition to astronomy, the company also sees an opportunity in optical monitoring of airborne contaminants, technology that can have applications in such fields as semiconductor manufacturing, and environmental or nuclear non-proliferation compliance.
Last year, OSEM was awarded a $400,000 federal contract for Brookhaven National Laboratory to design and build a mobile laser-equipped system to measure air pollution.
OSEM and Sandia National Laboratories have a cooperative research and development agreement to focus on remote sensing systems.
In recent weeks, Blair said, representatives of the Smithsonian have expressed interest in buying two 2-meter scopes from OSEM, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has contacted the company about buying two 1.5-meter scopes for testing of laser communications equipment for JPL's proposed lunar and Martian observatories.
While Blair is busy putting the company together and dealing with customer inquiries, one of the things of which he is most proud is the company's involvement with a project to put a telescope atop a new building at Tucson High Magnet School.
Blair said he just happened to notice that a telescope dome was built on the new facility near the UA campus, but never saw a scope being placed in the structure. He was told by Tucson Unified School District officials that no funds were available for an instrument.
OSEM has committed about $250,000 to a two-year project that enlists students to help design and build a half-meter scope at the school's Technology and Science Building.
The project will apparently make Tucson Magnet High School the first public school in the nation to have a research telescope.
Back in 1995 Sandia pioneered the work in UVF Lidar detection systems. CDEx appears to have remarkably similar technology, what else is very similar between the pioneering work of Sandia and the CDEx meth gun?
Multispectral Ultraviolet Fluorescence Lidar System Identifies
Chemical Mixtures in Field Tests
by P. J. Hargis, Jr., G. C. Tisone, T. D. Raymond, J. G. Taylor, J. S. Wagner, I. S. Shokair,
R. D. Mead, J. D. Daniels, T. J. Sobering, M. S. Johnson, M. W. Trahan,
B. F. Clark, C. Wakefiled-Reyes, and F. R. Franklin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motivation
Highly sensitive ultraviolet (UV) measurements are generally thought to be of limited use in lidar systems designed to detect chemical species in the atmosphere. Recent work at Sandia National Laboratories has changed this perception and led to the development of a new multispectral UV fluorescence lidar system designed for remote chemical analysis. Briefly, a broadly tunable UV laser is used to transmit multiple laser wavelengths, some of which are selectively absorbed and subsequently excite fluorescence in specific chemical species. The resulting fluorescence spectra at each excitation wavelength are compared to a database of fluorescence spectra from individual species to determine species concentrations. The com-parison is carried out using a unique multivariate analysis algorithm developed at Sandia to determine species concentrations from multi-spectral UV fluorescence measurements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accomplishment
Sandia’s multispectral UV fluorescence lidar system was tested in July 1995 at the Nevada Test Site. Measurements were made on vapor plumes consisting of mixtures of benzene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and toluene ranging in concentration from 1 to 500 ppm. All measurements were made at a standoff distance of 0.5 km. Atmospheric attenuation coefficients derived from elastic backscatter measurements were used in the multivariate analysis algorithm to correct measured fluorescence spectra for distortions due to transmission of the fluorescence radiation through the atmosphere. The analysis algorithm was then used to determine species concentrations and time-dependent concentration profiles. Almost 95% accuracy was achieved in identifying species in chemical plumes containing up to four species. Fluorescence detection limits for individual species ranged from about 5 to 10 ppm-m for all measured species. Highlights of the field test results include the first multivariate analysis of multispectral absorption and fluorescence data and the capability of UV fluorescence lidar measurements to map species concentrations in chemical plumes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Significance
Data obtained at the July 1995 field test demonstrates the potential of multispectral UV fluorescence measurements to detect nuclear, chemical, and biological proliferation activities. Other areas of national importance that benefit from the new technology are counterterrorism, drug interdiction, environmental monitoring, and global climate change.

Crow, give it to the end of the year (first 10Q in 2007) before we come to any conclusion on how big the Valimed niche market will be.
Remember, CDEX is using the same marketing model with the meth gun as they did with Valimed.
And how successful is the Valimed marketing model? Do we know?
DUOH!!
