And when is the 2,000,000 to 1 reverse split coming? Will it come before or after the shareholders get shafted out of the profit from the transfer of the losses ....
HC, this scenario reminds me too much of Nancy Boulony saying that we need to pass the bill to find out what is in it ....
I would love to see us shareholders get anything out of this fiasco. Unfortunately, nobody has shown any method to do so. I can see how some folks can make a reasonable amount, but that does not include anything for us.
I am not saying it is impossible, but want someone to explain what they are going to do first. Personally, I think they will just keep screwing us ... and without any grease ... ouch!!!!!! ... and I see no justification in helping them do their evil deed ...
Come on Nessie, if you want to run a campaign, you explain why folks should vote for you. I remember when you were praising Malcolm because he had a PhD and telling us that we should respect and admire him ... remember, you said he would save the company ... WOW.
I have more than a few former millionaires that thought they could make something out of nothing ... they ain't rich anymore.
Let them explain where they will be able to obtain value for this mess for all shareholders ... only thing we still have is a massive loss ...
I wish you can prove me wrong.
HC, who are these clowns who are asking for our votes and why do they want them and what are they going to do if they win? As a group, they seem to equate to Nanny Poliosy (purposely misspelled) saying,"We have to pass it to find out what is in it."
Reminds me of the arrogant elitist attitude we saw from Malcolm and Lawrence and Frank.
Paulness, you have to be kidding. Going all the way back to your NESS days, have you ever been timely and correct about anything. You have vilified me constantly. Remember when you were proclaiming Hayseed's direct line to God and your plans to drain the Arabic oil ... then your continual praise for Malcolm and Lawrence .... your frequent claims of a CYGX return to greatness .... Good Greeeeffff Gertrude.
HC, I doubt that it would be worth any additional effort. I really do not see how we shareholders have any chance to garner anything of even a minor modicum of value out of this shell. If some divine act of a deity creates some thing of value, then you can invest the effort to 'go after them.' Hope to treat you to a Houstonian meal soon.
Hi HC. Great to see you are still above ambient room temperature. Every time I drive by any of the old CYGX offices, I wonder how you are doing. If you are ever back in Houston, drop me a private message on this board and I'll take you for the best Polish lunch in Houston ... or another great place if you don't love schnitzel mit rote kraut und kartoffel salat .... hahaha.
I also do not understand how anyone could have dispossed of shares last year. They could be written off your taxes, but not transferred, and if they were not transferred, they still exist. Good luck.
Hi HC etal. The only asset I know of is those years of losing our money. Wonder if they need to become a legal entity to allow them to sell those losses for a scant fraction of their worth to themselves.
The warmest Merry Christmas wishes to each and every one of the long suffering investors in this "could-a-been".
Greetings gdpec and nwLA. Don't we all hate learning lessons the hard way. I am still having aches and pains ... This all started out with great hopes and potential by people who really wanted to develop something to help mankind, while they made legitimate fortunes. Unfortunately, the wrong people were brought in. Instead of helping, they ran this into the ground.
I was one of the biggest boosters of this company, but when I realized what was happening, I got out and tried to warn others. At least I made some fair gain from the adventure ... but should have made a lot more.
gdepc and holycow (and all the other long suffering cygx'ers), May you all have the happiest of New Year. Although I think this is a dead horse, there are bound to be some other great opportunities around. Just got back from the opening of our new plant in Shanghai ... was unsuccessful in trading Obama for Hu Jintao ... hahahya
Golly geewhillicans Lawrence, why in hell should we think that you have any more than a snowballs chance of surviving hell when you were an absolutely total failure at accomplishing anything more at CYGX than to run twenty or so million dollars into the ground and have nothing to show for it. I'll admit that you have a lot more in the cajones category than I would have guessed when you show up touting a new scheme to the very people from whom you should be begging forgiveness.
Hey Woody, is your old buddy JC still holding the steering wheel for LW's new adventure?
You are very correct Gdepc. LW drained the well before and now it is empty. Only total fools would throw more good money after bad. He would have to find more mullets ... like us ... hahaha
Hi there HC ... hope all is well with you and the whole gang of us victims. It is interesting that the folks who claim current ownership of the technology are still sucking the sugar tit. Wonder if they have ever considered that they walked over too many folks as they helped run a promising idea into the ground. Wanta bet some of the ones who were stepped on would immediately retaliate if there as even the slightest that some legitimate money could be squeezes out of the technology?
Hey my young fellow sufferer, the graves it rose from before had not had the dirt shoveled and filled in ... this time, it is not only filled, but has has grass planted on the top. We wuz had ... thanks to highly educated arrogance mixed with a heaping helping of incompetence.
No way Jose ... It is long dead ... driven into the ground by greed, arrogance, stupidity and a long string of equally uncomplimentary terms. Great science, but no leadership.
There were several memorable scenes in the first one. For the time, the make-up was one step above fantastic. Unlike so many recent flic's, it had a fair script backed up by strong acting and directing .... I really plan to see the new one. .... uh, gotta spare banana?
Might explain why Del and I developed a craving for bananas and peanuts while swinging thru the jungly ....
Wow HC, wish we could have mastered this. Wish I could have taken doses of this instead of the anti-shingles ....

Scientists Locate Genes Linked to Intelligence
By Charles Q. Choi
Published August 09, 2011
When it comes to smarts, which is more important — nature or nurture, genetics or environment? Both, it seems.
New findings now suggest that half of all differences in intelligence between people appear rooted in the collective influence of many tiny genetic variations. That leaves plenty of influence open to other factors, however, the researchers said.
Past research had suggested that bright parents tend to have bright kids. However, the extent to which genetics contributes to intelligence, as opposed to other contributing factors such as environment, has been hotly debated.
No single gene variant has yet been identified as reliably linked with intelligence. Instead, scientists investigated the potential role of many common genetic variations on human intelligence.
A gene is a string of molecules known as nucleotides, much as a word is a sequence of letters. The recipe of nucleotides making up each gene is not always precise — for instance, the copy of a gene a person has might differ by one nucleotide from the copy of that same gene seen in someone else, much as the word "cat" differs from "car" by a single letter.
Researchers compared nearly 550,000 of these variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, or "snips") with the performance of more than 3,500 unrelated adults on a pair of tests of general intelligence — one on problem-solving skills, the other on acquired knowledge, such as vocabulary. Genetic variations could explain about half of all the differences seen in intelligence between people — that is, some combinations of these variants seem show up more in smart people.
"We have found gene signals associated with cognitive abilities," researcher Ian Deary, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, told LiveScience.
Although the researchers found that genetic variations can affect intelligence, they cautioned they do not yet know which genes are important, or how much each contributes. "The likelihood is that there are very many genes contributing, each with a small effect," Deary predicted.
In addition, while the scientists focused on genetic contributions to intelligence, Deary cautioned their results also show "that environment is important too."
"We are not saying that intelligence is 'fixed' or 'determined' in our genes," researcher Peter Visscher, a quantitative geneticist at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia, told LiveScience. "We are saying that about 50 percent of individual differences between people in intelligence is due to genetics. We are not saying that the environment is unimportant."
Future research could not only investigate what specific genes seem linked with intelligence, but how they might interact with the environment, as well as how these genes impact changes in cognitive skills with age Deary added. "We want to use these data to find out why some people's thinking skills age better than others," Deary said.
The scientists detailed their findings online Aug. 9 in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

Hey young fellow,
I only had first hand info up thru the Malcolm era. Spoke to a couple of the followers, but expect they were just as incompetent as most of those who preceded them.
Were you around for the battles between Janice Shell's group and me. Janice and I actually became friends. There was a group of bashers with a lot of credibility (unlike the current numbnuts).
When it was proven to them that they had made some errors, they admitted them and went away.
I still think that us shareholders have sufficient grounds for legal action, but don't think there would be enough potential value to offset the costs.
Agree about HC. When someone with ZERO monetary interest only derives their "vast" knowledge from a computer screen, they will always make many many mistakes. Reading all the documents available totally fails to provide the whole story. Watching and listening for tell-tale signs of veracity (or the lack thereof) is equally important.
Several folks should be facing charges, or at least investigation. We might all be shocked if we could see a picture with all the dots connected.
I feel no requirement to explain anything whatsoever to you. By your own admission who have never had a monetary interest in the technology nor the company. Therefore it is absolutely none of you business.
Your posts appear to be those of an embittered recluse with little, if anything for which to exist.
You prove that you have any first hand interest, knowledge or participation in this affair and maybe we can have a discussion.
Our downfall has a lot of fathers ... and even a couple of mothers ... uhhhhh sorry about that.
It took a team effort to ruin a technology that apparently offered so much for so many. (Pardon me Winston ... )
Greetings my co-sufferer,
I seriously doubt that we have even half the chance of a snow ball in hell of any manner of survival. What's left? Nothing of value. From the moment that Malcolm took over we were doomed. We did not know it at the time, but he had no idea of what to do with what we had. He talked such a good line that it took a while to see thru him. I guess we began to die the day our English Lawrence suffered that damned heart attack.
Simplavir was a contender. Unfortunately our management staff was too focused on playing the role of big-shots and engaging in petty crap to have any chance at developing it. They never understood that half (or even a tenth) of something beats having 100% of nothing.
Unfortunately my good friend, we have not been standing for a long, long time. I had many warm fuzzy dreams about us all doing very well and even hoped for those parties in Florida ... but we have seen first hand how deadly arrogance, greed and a few other deadly sins can be fatal to a brilliant idea. I remain convinced that it was not just a pipe dream and that it could have worked ...
Yes Paulness, Jet is smart .... even brilliant .... but within his area of expertise, and this ain't it. If Malcolm is so smart, why did he allow the company to get in a fatal free fall? BTW, has the oil been drained from under Arabia yet?
Government procedure for use of a dead horse.
1. Buy a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
Looks like the government doesn't kick dead horses. Does that mean the government is not insane?
... but Percy was right. Several of us can in as true believers in at least the technology. I did .... and believed in management for a long time. I'm one of the very few who played test patient for any of the products. It seemed to work, although LW never did grow any hair. I ardently defended the staff, including MS (both of them). In time I became totally disillusioned with the PhD MS. I began selling off, and keeping only enough to remain a pain in the posterior of mgmt. We tried to warn of the real happenings at CYGX ... but you and a few others derided every warning. Unlike a few bashers and outright haters of the whole affair, we were reporting "up close and personal first hand observations. I still suspect that you are possibly JRC or one of his minions. You attacked those of us who were reporting news rather than writing fiction like you and your group. Reminds me of the old Hayseed posts you made so fiercely.
Great to hear from you again. Wonder if there is any truth to the rumor that Sanofi is going to substitute CYGX for Gengyme, but will only offer 14 Billion for all our stock.
HC, I hope you are soon rolling on the street laughing as you levitate to the bank. We, and some of our family still hold a few shares. Lost Lex's numbers when I upgraded cel phones so I can't call him.
Where is Big Dog when you need him .... could he be with Jimmy Carter ..... roflmao ... remember when BD ran the price up to over $3.00.
uh ... let's see .... accumulate some CYGX stock .... start a rumor ... sell at several times the price you purchaserd at .... hmmmmmmmm
Hey there HC (etal)
While going to lunch, I noticed that Cytogenix was still shown on he big black granite stone outside the old building, so I just turned in and went to the old offices .... yup, they have been rented to someone else ... dangitall ...
Poor HC ... we have a place reserved for you here in Houston .... you should not be forced to be a victim of Al Gore's inconvenient truth about global warming .... hehehehe ... hope everything else is going great for you.
LOL ... I almost bought-out a company in Philly, but decided to buy one in British Columbia instead. We are moving the equipment to Houston ... much warmer here
.
Okay BigB .... no BOOT jokes ..... LOLOL.
BTW, when we gonna have coffee at La Madalene?
Wonder if Bigworld gotz a jolly jumbug stuffed in his tucker bag.
You know TH, you have admitted to interfering with a business relationship in which you had no interest.
How dare you appoint yourself as Lord and Master and involve yourself in a vendetta against people who were attempting to carry on a legitimate business.
Even now, you hide behind a computer screen and spew out garbage based on inuendo and half truths without any first hand knowledge whatsoever.
HAVE YOU NO SHAME??
