Hello all, I have not posted in a while but have tried to keep up reading the posts and Skunk's blog. I just removed myself as a mod. We're well covered for mods and i have a new job that really limits my time.
Im pleased to see Slash back and wish him the best for a full recovery.
I'm hanging on tight to my shares.
Best to all..exciting times!
Im interested in your opinion but the facts don't support your theory. YA was not the major contributor to the dilution we experienced in 2011. Careful reading of the filings and you'll see.GLTU.
Same goes for DVG who is trying to slither his way out of the mess
i agree - that would be the most logical way to handle this.
I would think so Skribe. It might be done very quietly out of respect for Andersons.
As for trying to read the Markman transcript 5-10 times, what was i thinking? It is interesting but slow-going.
The "War Hero" reference is finally understood.
the crux of the issue is the judge establishes protocol for a markman hearing and sets the rules for when he's heard enough from both sides. For our judge it was after just a couple rounds of argument/rebuttal.
Now we see in the transcript that the judge once allowed a bit of extended argument in a different markman trial. He said he made that one-time exception because the person was a 'war hero'. He said at the GERS markman that he would make no exceptions in this case because to the best of his knowledge there were no war heroes in the courtroom.
Defendents used the judge's words against Greenshift later on. There was a time when the defendents were seeking clarification from the judge on some aspects of his Markman order. Greenshift opposed and filed a brief explaining why. In the opinion of defendents, the content of the brief by greenshift was an attempt to re-open the markman hearing. In the process, the defendents made what at the time seemed an out of place and random comment: "no showing has been made that Mr. Rye(plaintiff council) was a war hero".
Now we understand where that comment came from.
The defendents are saying that Greenshift should not be allowed to continue arguments that have already been hashed out in the markman trial and no exception should be made because Mr Rye is not a war hero.
Just one more little mystery solved.
Great message.
lol- Yeah now i can relax. Today I got to run an errand but after that i plan to make a snowman with my niece (i live in MA.), make a hot cup of tea and read the Markman transcript 5-10 times!
first of all you wife obviously has mad skills of persuasion- so kudos to her.
second, this concession and how quickly it was made tells me that KK has a soft spot in his heart for us long-suffering shareholders. I REALLY like that he offered this up (especially given that it had increased and he still gave it up.)
I think he's smart to do this on the case by case. maybe he's thinking any significant changes might need messaging by the company to be understood.
You made my day Nobody. Thanks again.
Well I think that is just fantastic news. Feeling like we're all one big happy family again. Thanks Nobody and please thank your wife.
I plan to call during business hours on Monday. When I call Monday I will leave a phone message if i dont speak to anyone. There is maybe one in a 17.2 million chance i'll get a live person but I'll give it a try.
Message from the TA
I asked for an update to the shares outstanding after market close today. I received this response:
As instructed by the company for outstanding share amounts please call 770-886-2734 for this information.
I beleive that Cantrell is in poor health (God bless him)and that is the reason for the request for a stay. I believe that the judge ruled in GERS favor to allow Cantrell to confer with his attorney before continuing the deposition and also imposed a monetary sanction on the defendants for holding back the email.
Maybe the delay benefits GERS in some way but I don't think GERS has too much to fear from Cantrell continuing the deposition or that email. That's JMO based on my understanding of the on sale bar.
An impermissible sale has occurred if there was a definite sale, or offer to sell, more than 1 year before the effective filing date of the U.S. application and the subject matter of the sale, or offer to sell, fully anticipated the claimed invention or would have rendered the claimed invention obvious by its addition to the prior art. Ferag AG v. Quipp, Inc., 45 F.3d 1562, 1565, 33 USPQ2d 1512, 1514 (Fed. Cir. 1995). The on-sale bar of 35 U.S.C. 102(b) is triggered if the invention is both (1) the subject of a commercial offer for sale not primarily for experimental purposes and (2) ready for patenting. Pfaff v. Wells Elecs., Inc., 525 U.S. 55, 67, 48 USPQ2d 1641, 1646-47 (1998). Traditional contract law principles are applied when determining whether a commercial offer for sale has occurred.

I think he is doing a great job.
Has he made some mistakes in the past? yes
will he continue to make some mistakes in the future? yes
Could he do more communicating with shareholders? yes
Still, on balance, i think a great job. Why?
The financials, the clients, the patents, the litigation successes.
Skunk's blog(see sticky above) keeps us updated on the litigation. he has a PACER account and posts the court docs frequently.
From TOS
Discussion of post deletions and moderator/admin actions is not permitted on the message boards.
They are looking for an extension for Cantrell to serve his errata sheet related to his deposition. Cantrell's attorney has filed medical justification. Other aspects of the case would still be moving forward such as depostions, discovery, settlement talks, etc.
All set - deleted.
glty
GoodMorning, This link takes me to the PR from early last year when the calgren deal was announced. I think Skunk is looking for an update on performance/progress.
Yes, there are some odd things going on. VNDM showing up and the large T trades, 3 days in a row..156k, 26k, 57k.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
LOLOLOL Just saw the typo- got me laughing out loud!
post it on you tube!
3 days in a row with a sizable after hours trade??
Timing of prior annual shareholder letters

I think Ollie is wrong on that(oops that's me). skunk's latest blog convinced me. Greenshift has used the 30% figure in the past and it included infringers.
GLTA
TA says "no change" in shares outstanding.
Received that at 2:52pm today.
LOL...oh gosh.. here is how i would answer that (valid)question
Here is the quote
Over 30% of the industry is currently using GreenShift’s patented and patent-pending extraction technologies
It really is interesting to ponder.
Clearly, the industry penetration is a metric Greenshift uses often. We see it in all the filings. In the filings it is clear that the percent of the industry they claim can be tied to licensed gallons. Then we have the 21st century PR where they do not specifically state "licensed" usage. why?
my thoughts...
1. If this ad is targeted to future GERS customers, then i think they would not want to overstate their customer base to thier future customers. Honesty and integrity of the provider are a big part of a due diligence process for new technology. A potential new customer might find it kinda sleazy that you publicly state its your technology others are using before its been proven.
2. If this ad is in anyway targeted to solicit financing or to institutional investors, accredited investors then they BETTER NOT state 30% unless they have it licensed or until infringement is proven in a court.
3. Does GERS think they can legally make a statement of 30% of the industry if it was still a matter for the courts to decide? Would they really want the risk of what could be seen as making false or misleading statements?
Im leaning toward thinking they've got the 30% licensed/settled. Bold statement if they don't. We'll see. Either way, the company is making great strides.
30% of the Industry Using Greenshift Technology
If GERS is stating 30% of the industry is using their technology, i take that to mean they have licensed approx 3-4billion gallons. I base this assumption on how they've historically used these terms.
In the past, Greenshift has always tied their percentage of industry penetration to licensed production in gallons.
See below
*for the year 2010 GERS states they have licensed 9% of the industry, corresponding to ~1billion gallons.
*for the year 2011(up to 3q) GERS states they have licensed 15% of the industry, corresponding to ~ 2 bilion gallons.
From 3Q2011
Plan of Operations
Our business continues to improve. We won significant new business during 2011, increasing licensed penetration to more than 15% of the industry and more than doubling the amount of production licensed to use our extraction technologies from 1.0 billion gallons per year (“BGY”) at the end of 2010 to more than 2.0 BGY of ethanol production today.
During 2010, we licensed our extraction technologies to ethanol producers corresponding to over 1 billion gallons per year (“BGY”) of ethanol production and more than 9% of the industry.
I think the selling is just market maker VNDM being VNDM. From what i read they are not retail nor dilutors. They have a rep for short selling. Maybe in the next few days they will move up on the bid under their current selling price to cover. I hope they get bored with us.
I see this kind of spread often on very low float stocks.
My thoughts exactly. I expect there will be dips but im not going to drive myself crazy trying to catch them. In a year (or maybe much less) these are all deeply discounted shares imo.
Sure. I'll ask for an update and post it each week until they get tired of me. The only question they pushed back on was about the restricted shares...i got...
"as i've stated before"..."at this time we will not release this information."

GreenShift Corporation to be featured on 21st Century Business Television Series January 14, 2012
Multi-media Productions (USA) is pleased to announce that GreenShift Corporation has been selected to appear on 21st Century Business, an award winning international television series, on the Fox Business Network (as paid programming.)
(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 11, 2012 ) Boca Raton, FL --- Breaking the United States' dependence on foreign oil is a significant problem that must be addressed and solved. The question is…How? Clearly we must produce fuel domestically. GreenShift has the solution. GreenShift Corporation develops and implements clean technologies designed to integrate into and leverage established production infrastructure and distribution channels to address the financial and environmental needs of their clients by decreasing raw material needs, facilitating co-product reuse, and reducing the generation of wastes and emissions.
For the first time ever, GreenShift introduces a process that adds corn oil, which can be converted to biodiesel. They have invented, developed and commercialized a powerful new cleantech that enables us to drill into the back-end of first generation corn ethanol plants to tap into a proven reserve of inedible crude corn oil with an output exceeding 20 million barrels per year. This corn oil is an extraordinarily valuable second generation feedstock for use in the production of biodiesel and renewable diesel, advanced carbon-neutral liquid fuels.
GreenShift’s patented and patent-pending Corn Oil Extraction Technologies are widely considered to be the quickest and best path for margin improvement for first generation corn ethanol producers today. Their extraction technologies increase biofuel yields per bushel of corn by 7% while reducing the energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of corn ethanol production by more than 21% and 29%, respectively. These benefits correspond to increased ethanol producer income of about $0.12 per gallon of ethanol produced at current market prices, and can be realized for less than 10% of the capital cost of the host ethanol plant. No technologies have ever been developed for corn ethanol producers that begin to approach even a fraction of these results in the entire history of the ethanol industry.
Over 30% of the industry is currently using GreenShift’s patented and patent-pending extraction technologies. At full participation by the ethanol industry, these technologies can give way to the disruptive gains that GreenShift was founded to achieve by producing globally-meaningful quantities of carbon-neutral liquid fuels for distribution through existing supply chains and combustion in our nation's boilers, generators and engines; displacing more than 20 million barrels per year of crude oil; saving up to 10 trillion cubic feet per year of natural gas; eliminating tens of millions of metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year; and infusing up to two billion dollars per year of cash flow into the corn ethanol industry - the foundation of North America's renewable fuel production capability.
