esi talked with them this morning
m02, good to see you here. Did you get in on some of this fun??
I think with the low float and the attention this will get this evening, the profit taking may actually strengthen our hands in the long run. The shares will fall into hands of people willing to hold. The Only thing CIRT needed was some attention-IMO
That's great!! I love the voice chart!!!
Clay, does this now merit the voice chart?
It was like watching a 6 1/2 hour Kentucky Derby
I wonder if we'll see any trades posted late
A lot of MM sitting on .01 since this morning, probably only shares left and then ........well you know
Back to the Motherland!!!
No funds, but I wonder how long it would take to fill???
There will be a lot more eyes on this tomorrow, and with the small float. As they say on the streets -TADOW!-
MM's scrambling trying to take it slow and find some shares quick. (I think that's an oxymoron, but you know what I mean)
Maybe this will be good enough for Claytrader to do a Voice Chart, I can't wait!
I think the MM's are fishing
I bet Surfcast buys himself a Cellubuike, lol

April 9 - myPhotopipe.com Expands Online Offering of Photo Greeting Cards
Company targets $7.5 billion greeting card space with more than 300 new products
myPhotopipe.com, Inc. (OTC: MPPC), a web-based online provider of digital photo processing and related services, unveiled a new initiative to significantly expand its product offerings and presence in the photo greeting card segment of the $7.5 billion greeting card market. The Company expects to more than double the number of products offered via its online web portal, www.myphotopipe.com.
During 2006, according to data from industry association PMA, over 9 million households used digital cameras to make photo greeting cards, spending more than $550 million. As in years past, owners of high-end digital cameras (8 megapixels or more) were almost twice as likely to make photo greeting cards as owners of lower resolution cameras. What prompted myPhotopipe.com's newly announced initiative was the sharp increase in sales of high-end cameras.
According to PMA data, demand for 8 or greater megapixel cameras grew at a rate of 977% in the fourth quarter of 2007, versus the same period in 2006. This translates into approximately 25 million new high-end cameras entering the US market in 2007. According to the PMA, better cameras correlate to better images. This, in turn, encourages the purchase of more photo cards, which have also benefited from an increasing demand among consumers for self-expression and the personalization of social sentiments.
myPhotopipe.com offered consumers 629 photo greeting card styles at the end of 2007. The Company is adding 256 cards under its newly created Designer Collection category and 60 cards under a new General Purpose category, and it will also expand all of its existing categories with a new line of primary colors.
"This is the single most important initiative we have undertaken since the launch of FolioPrints," noted Eric Casolo, Director of Digital Photo Tools for the Company. "In large measure it came about because of the convergence in data and trends. First there was the jump in sales of high-resolution cameras. Second, the whole social expressions segment of the greeting card market has doubled during the past two years. And of course, owners of high-end cameras are almost twice as likely to make photo cards as the ordinary digital camera owner. When we saw the sharp increase in demand for cameras with resolutions of 8 megapixels and higher, we felt compelled to act, so we accelerated our timetables and will continue on an accelerated pace for the next two months."
According to the PMA, photo greeting cards grew from 270 million units in 2005 to 550 million in 2006. Year-end data for 2007 is not yet available.

EPMD News:
April 9 - St. Jude Medical to Acquire EP MedSystems
St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE: STJ) and EP MedSystems, Inc. (NASD: EPMD) announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies have unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement under which St. Jude Medical will acquire EP MedSystems for approximately $92.1 million.
Terms of the Agreement:
Under the terms of the merger agreement, EP MedSystems shareholders will receive $3.00 of consideration for each EP MedSystems share they own, with the option of receiving that amount in cash or St. Jude Medical common stock. The number of shares of St. Jude Medical common stock that EP MedSystems shareholders will receive will be determined based on the average closing price over 10 trading days, ending on the second business day before the transaction closes. The cash and stock elections are subject to pro-ration such that St. Jude Medical will issue 40 percent of the total merger consideration in St. Jude Medical common stock and 60 percent in cash.
In connection with this transaction, St. Jude Medical's Board of Directors has approved an additional stock buyback authorization of $50 million, which increases St. Jude Medical's share repurchase authorization from $250 million to $300 million. The additional buyback authorization will be used to offset the shares issued in this transaction.
The companies anticipate this acquisition will close during the third quarter of 2008. In connection with this transaction, St. Jude Medical will record a special charge for in-process R&D. This acquisition does not change St. Jude Medical's existing guidance for 2008 earnings per share, exclusive of the special charge.
Acceleration of St. Jude Medical's AF Program:
Upon completion, this transaction will immediately add two new growth drivers to St. Jude Medical's program for products used in atrial fibrillation (AF) and other electrophysiology (EP) catheterization procedures. This includes the EP-WorkMate computerized electrophysiology workstation with a fully integrated EP-4 Computerized Cardiac Stimulator and expansion options to incorporate the NurseMate Remote Review Charting Station. The EP-WorkMate platform already enjoys a strong number two share of the global market for EP recording systems in spite of limited sales and marketing resources.
This transaction will also expedite St. Jude Medical's entry into the high-growth intracardiac ultrasound echocardiography (ICE) market with the EP MedSystems ViewMate II intracardiac ultrasound system and the next generation ViewFlex PLUS ICE catheter scheduled for market release this quarter. This market is growing at an estimated 25 percent to 30 percent per year and includes both electrophysiology and interventional cardiology applications.
"This transaction will accelerate the growth of St. Jude Medical's program to help physicians cure atrial fibrillation," said Daniel J. Starks, chairman, president and chief executive officer of St. Jude Medical. "EP MedSystems' new ClearWave signal recording technology and its next generation ViewFlex PLUS ICE catheter will be especially important additions to our AF technology platform."
David Bruce, president and chief executive officer of EP MedSystems, said, "With growth accelerating over the past year, EP MedSystems' products and market position are stronger than they've ever been thanks to the focus and efforts of our employees. This transaction delivers significant shareholder value and enables our key product platforms to benefit from the extensive worldwide distribution, customer support and product development infrastructure of St. Jude Medical. We look forward to working with the St. Jude Medical team toward a seamless combination."
The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and approval by EP MedSystems shareholders. Following the close of the transaction, Bruce is expected to join St. Jude Medical, and EP MedSystems will become part of the Atrial Fibrillation division of St. Jude Medical.
In connection with the transaction, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, LLP is serving as legal counsel for St. Jude Medical. Piper Jaffray & Co. is acting as financial advisor to EP MedSystems, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is serving as legal counsel for EP MedSystems.
Earnings Webcast Information:
As previously announced, St. Jude Medical will hold a webcast to discuss its first quarter 2008 financial results on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, at 8:00 a.m. CDT. St. Jude Medical will also discuss this transaction at that time. The webcast can be accessed at www.sjm.com.

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/FVRL.php
Favrille, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system in the United States. Its technology enables in manufacturing immunotherapy products that are designed to stimulate a patient's immune system to mount a specific and sustained response to diseases. The company's lead product candidate, FavId, which is in Phase III clinical trials, is used for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It also develops FAV-201 for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma. In addition, Favrille has ongoing preclinical studies to assess the applicability of its technology to autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis.

FVRL News:
April 9 - Favrille Announces Data Cutoff for Phase 3 Registration Trial of Specifid; Data Analysis and Unblinding Expected in June
Favrille, Inc. (NASD: FVRL), a biopharmaceutical company developing patient-specific, active immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, announced today that it has reached the data cutoff date for the Company's Phase 3 registration trial of Specifid (mitumprotimut-T, formerly FavId ) following Rituxan in patients with follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). As of the data cutoff date, 205 of the 349 patients randomized have experienced disease progression (relapsed) according to investigator determination. Final analysis will be based on a central radiology assessment of the patients' CT scans. Unblinding of the data is expected to occur in June 2008.
Median follow-up for ongoing patients is 31 months from randomization (range 21 to 41 months), or approximately 34 months from the initiation of Rituxan treatment (range 24 to 44 months). Based on the protocol's assumptions, this range of follow-up would provide sufficient power to detect a significant difference between the two arms for time to progression (TTP), the primary endpoint in the trial.
"We believe the design and execution of this registration trial have positioned us well for success," said John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Favrille. "Based on the status of patients at data cutoff and our assumptions about the behavior of the control arm in this trial, we are very encouraged that the upcoming analysis will provide an outcome which is both clinically and statistically significant. Our clinical and biometrics team is working diligently to gather the required information and prepare for the analysis and unblinding of the trial in June."
Favrille initiated its Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind registration trial of Specifid for follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004. The Company completed enrollment in January 2006 with 349 patients randomized into the trial in a span of 18 months. The trial was open to both treatment-naive and previously treated patients, ultimately enrolling a much larger treatment-naive population (78%). Patients were randomized at a one-to-one ratio to receive either Specifid or placebo following a standard course of Rituxan. A total of 45 patients came off study and were permanently censored for reasons other than disease progression, 28 (8%) because Specifid was not produced and 17 (5%) for a variety of other reasons. The trial was conducted at 67 centers in the U.S. under a Special Protocol Assessment granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Specifid was also granted Fast Track status by the FDA in January 2006.
In October 2007 an independent Data Monitoring Board (DMB) conducted an administrative analysis of the unblinded control arm in the Phase 3 trial. The objective of this analysis, conducted in agreement with the FDA, was to assess the behavior of disease progression in the control arm in order to help determine the duration of follow-up needed prior to unblinding the trial. The outcome of this DMB analysis supported the rationale for the timing of data cutoff.
ABOUT SPECIFID
Specifid (mitumprotimut-T, formerly FavId) is a personalized, active immunotherapy designed to stimulate a patient's immune system to mount a specific and sustained response to the patient's cancer. Specifid is based upon a recombinant protein, called idiotype (Id), which is derived from genetic material obtained from a patient's own tumor, then conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), a protein commonly used to boost immune responses. Favrille's unique and proprietary manufacturing process, which includes an insect cell (baculovirus) expression system, allows for the manufacture of Specifid for delivery to patients in as few as eight weeks. Data presented at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2007 showed that Id-KLH produced via insect cells results in a more immunogenic response compared to Id-KLH produced in a traditional mammalian cell manufacturing process. Also, unlike other Id-KLH active immunotherapies in development, Specifid is intended for use as a chronic therapy and is administered until the patient's disease progresses.

CWRM News:
April 9 - Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. Set to Undertake $52 Million Domestic Mill Scale Waste Project
Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (OTC: CWRM) announced that the company is in the process of preparing to screen and magnetically scrub the 400,000 metric tons of Mill Scale that was left abandoned after the closer of a domestic steel mill.
Until recently it would not have been feasible to transport the materials from the Midwest United States to a seaport for export; however, recent surges exceeding $130.00 per dry metric ton in Spot Sales for steel making materials has awaken this project. The materials range between 67 and 72% Fe. The cargo will be transported via unit train to the Gulf of Mexico, Port of New Orleans, Louisiana and shipped via PanaMax to the People's Republic of China.
Financing for the project is being undertaken by the LC Xchange, Inc. Houston, Texas U.S.A.
The CWRM Board of directors approved this project to produce financial activity for the company during the pending permit process for the company's Baja Pacific Mining Project; which has been delayed until the third quarter of year 2008.
WHAT IS MILL SCALE?
Mill Scale consists primarily of magnetite, Fe3O4, of characteristic blue-gray "steely" color. An extremely thin outer film of hematite, Fe2O3, is invisible to the naked eye. The inner portion of the magnetite contains fine metal grains and sometimes, residual black FeO (see below), which contribute to the roughness of de-scaled metal. Mill Scale is found on all hot-rolled steel products unless processed in a protective atmosphere.
At hot-rolling temperatures, an inner layer of wustite, FeO, exists between the steel and magnetite. At elevated temperatures, FeO constitutes about 85% of the scale thickness, Fe3O4 about 10 to 15% and Fe2O3 about 0.5 to 2%. During slow cooling (below 1040 F) of hot-rolled coils of hot-rolled strip (and heavy shapes), most of the FeO is transformed to Fe and Fe3O4, and the latter oxide is predominant after cooling.

Apr 09, 2008 -- The Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTCBB: TOOT), a premium baker and seller of high-quality, handmade pies, announced today that it sold in excess of 8,000 pies for the quarter ending March, 2008; an increase of approximately 100% over the 4,000 plus pies sold during the same quarter in 2007.
"The majority of our sales for this quarter came from our primary wholesale distributors in existing markets and thus represent growth in 'same store sales.' As we enter new markets, with another 'food show season' in full swing, we are already seeing similar positive results from customers in these markets as well," said Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company's President & CEO.
Tootie Pie Company bakes and sells high-quality, handmade pies through three basic sales channels: retail, corporate and wholesale. The retail segment serves individual consumers through in-store sales, orders via telephone and internet on the Company's website.

The wholesale segment is made up of regional and national broad-line foodservice distributors who purchase pies and then resell them to their customers.
Apr 09, 2008 -- Victory Energy Corporation (OTCBB: VYEY) announced today that drilling has started on the tenth well for the Corporation in its Canyon Sandstone gas play located in the Texas Permian Basin.
The drilling contractor moved the drilling rig onto the new location and began drilling Tuesday evening. Surface casing will be set and cemented into place at 1,040 feet to protect the shallow water table in the area. It is anticipated that this will occur by April 12. This tenth well will be recorded as well #166-12 in the records of Crockett County, Texas.
The date for the frac stimulation completion work for wells #166-8 and #166-3 has been moved up to April 11 from April 16. The plan is to frac stimulate both wells on the same day to capitalize on savings by having one stimulation crew complete both jobs. Once the frac stimulation work has been completed, a swabbing unit will be moved onto the well bore to recover the frac stimulation fluid from the well. This allows the well to kick off and flow on its own, bringing the natural gas to surface and to the production line.
"The drilling contractor for the Corporation has hit nine consecutive wells out of the nine wells they have drilled. This matches the historical information on the Canyon Sandstone gas field, and our expectations when we invested into the project," stated Jon Fullenkamp, President of Victory Energy Corporation.
This well, and each Canyon Sandstone gas well in this field, will produce approximately 500,000,000 cubic feet of gas for Victory over a 35-year average production life. A 5,000-foot deep Canyon Sandstone well initially tests at an average of 250,000 cubic feet of gas per day.

Wall Street News Alert: Issues Wednesdays Stocks to Watch: UDTT! April 9, 2008
Weston, FLA., Apr 09, 2008 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UDTT), Victory Energy Corporation (OTCBB: VYEY), China 3C Group (OTCBB: CHCG), Advanced Content Services, Inc. (OTC: ADCS) and Cardio Infrared Technologies, Inc. (OTC: CIRT).
Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UDTT) is on the move, and the company should have investors monitoring the stock closely. The company, a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, issued a press release yesterday after the markets closed announcing that it has received its second purchase order from a Quiznos Restaurant franchise.
This could be great news for the company, as the press release states that the purchase order is for UDTT's line of Anti-Microbial Products approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Company's mini fogger used for applying those products! UDTT's broad spectrum disinfectant kills 99.9% of bacteria and is a green alternative to chlorine bleach and alcohol based disinfectants. In a study conducted in 2007, Vital Oxide demonstrated no growth of Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in any of the 10 primary subculture tubes and no growth in any of the 10 secondary subculture tubes following a ten minute exposure period at 19degc. The conclusion of the study was that under the conditions of the investigation, Vital Oxide demonstrated efficacy against MRSA as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for disinfectant label claims following a ten minute exposure period at 19degc.
The Vital Oxide disinfectant was recently chosen by Princeton University staff to protect against MRSA outbreaks in gyms and locker rooms. UDTT also recently received a purchase order from China for Vital Oxide. The areas of use include hospitals, schools and universities, powerboats, sailboats, cruise ships, restaurants, hotel rooms, office buildings, gyms, building materials, movie theatres, public transportation infrastructure, and homes.
Investors are urged to watch Universal Detection Technology! MRSA is usually transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with shared items or surfaces that have come into contact with someone else's infection (e.g., towels, used bandages). There has been an increase in the spread of MRSA infections in the past few years and the recent death of a student at Western Washington University is very alarming as the student was without history of hospitalization, surgery, dialysis, or residency in a long-term care facility in the past year. This phenomenon, referred to as community-acquired MRSA or CA-MRSA, is responsible for an increasing number of infections and fatalities. Studies performed by the Center for Disease Control also show that MRSA can cause gastroenteritis if the area where food is prepared or people who handle food are contaminated with MRSA. The CDC study is another example of the recent spread of CA-MRSA.
The stock closed Tuesday at under a Penny a share.

They gotta be holding back trades
Other than the compensation page, there is no mention of CIRT on their website. Somebody from here, I think ESI, talked with Wayne Ceo today or recently and thinks they have more stuff, PR's, coming out. Maybe, the promo will coincide with this PR> speculation<
I am no expert, but I think they are going to be doing some advertising for CIRT
I have an email into them to see what extent the advertising goes. If they have other outlets besides that one website.
I am not even sure they have started yet!!! The front page of their website is still all EESO.
thanks
I don't know if everyone saw this but thebullpick.com
http://www.thebullpick.com/compensation.htm
Has something in the works with CIRT.
Gave the 500,000 for 2 weeks promo(don't think they have started yet), their normal fee for 2 weeks seems to be $10g. That equates to .02 a share.
Anybody have L2 screen shot
Trading just stopped, I think MM's are scrambling
This should draw some attention, plus all the new shareholders at higher pps, the next week or two could get really really fun to watch.
That's what I said Z, it was 3, went and had a sandwich, came back it was 7.
I think I am going to go eat another sandwich
Where is surfkast, do you think he has fainted and needs smelling salts???LOL
I am surprised nobody has shown up and
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'D"
on the board yet, LOL
Only 19 million in the float, this thing could BLOW UP
IMO- going to be the biggest volume day yet!!!
This could get good fast
I saw that!
Gonna be a big day
Hi Clay,
was curious as to what your chart analysis could tell me about Cardio Infrared Technologies Inc. (CIRT)
Thanks
Braden,
I get the feeling you know something is iminent, yet I can not read into whether your thoughts are ominous or joyful. Could you expand on your thoughts please?
Was?? You don't think it has another run or two in it??
I bet it would not take much to get through those 3's
Gonna be on a little holding pattern until news or fins come out-IMO
Also, other stocks have the attention of IHUBBERS at the moment.
Agreed, everything is well calculated with this company!
