Feb 11th Press Release
Artists to Receive 95% on the Sale of Their Music
Company Goes All Out! — Truly a Bold Move
PHOENIX, AZ, February 11, 2004 — ItsFun.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Advanced Solutions and Technologies, Inc. (OTC:ADVK) makes bold move in music sales. ItsFun.com (www.itsfun.com) allows the artist to retain 95% of the proceeds on each and every sale. Other music sales organizations do not even come close. Not Apple, not Napster.
"The industry is going through a complete change first in the mind set of the artist and then the way people consume music. Therefore we're viewing this project thru two sets of eyes, that of the artist and that of the consumers. We will not dictate the price an artist charges for their work. If you want to sell the consumer what the consumer buys, then you must see the consumer thru the consumer eyes," said Leslieann Norem, spokesperson for ItsFun.com.
Free early registration raise to first 2,500. They have expanded the offer now to the first 2,500 inquiries from an initial 500. Artists, bands, songwriters, producers, publishers and labels who get in under the wire will be allowed to register without the usual $29.95 setup fees.
In one location hundreds of thousands of independent artists will showcase their talents and music with accompanying promotional materials such as pictures, bios and performance schedules online, which gives them the ability to generate income far beyond their wildest dreams. ItsFun.com anticipates the single biggest consumer shift in a generation.
By 2008, one third of music sales in the United States and nearly 20 percent in Europe will come in the form of downloads and streaming music over the Internet, building a multi-billion dollar business, according to a new study by consultancy Forrester Research. Josh Bernoff, a Forrester Research analyst said, "the U.S. market alone for downloads and subscriptions to online music stores will top $300 million this year from a virtual standing start a year ago."

They have expanded the offer now to the first 1,000 inquiries. Those who get in under the wire will be allowed to register without the usual setup fees.
"ItsFun.com, Inc. is about to shake up the world of music forever! Everyone talks big about helping the artist make more money, but we are going to do it! Bring us your music and we'll help you sell it." said Leslieann Norem, spokesperson "Our deal is huge for the artist they get to keep 95% of their money. We keep 5% to cover the cost of staff, pay for website expenses and to pay for improvements in our business so we can serve them better. It doesn't get any easier or more profitable for you than this." She added.
The DEMO™ Report states "The future of the online music business does not belong to the major labels; it belongs to the true independents.
For the very first time in music business history, the recording artists can have total control over their creative works and, at the same time, have a direct and interactive connection with music fans from around the world."
The capability for hundreds of thousands of independent artists to showcase their talents and music with accompanying promotional materials such as pictures, bios, performance schedules online gives them the ability to generate income far beyond their wildest dreams. Some independent artists have successfully used this approach and have generated millions of dollars of revenue.

Hey Jim!
Here is an event that should be on The Golden Lists Thread - Wayne and I and a few others in The Stock Pit have been getting info on it.
I don't know if you are following ADVK .03 X .05 - downloadable music website going live as soon as March 1st - yes just a few days away - reminds me of ALFN which went from .25 to 3.00
here is a link for the site - not yet live http://www.itsfun.com/
and some dd here:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2469925
Harbs - great board, great folks and my favorite thing BOUNCES - will have to watch...
meanwhile I don't know if you are following ADVK .03 X .05 - downloadable music website going live soon - reminds me of ALFN which went from .25 to 3.00
here is a link and some dd - good luck
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2469925
IBGX very nice find
all might want to take a look at new music website going up - ADVK stock currently at .03 by .05.
I have included some DD
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2469925
Hi Gang!
Wanted to introduce myself. I have been following ADVK for a few months. It is of particular interest to me since my professional background is in advertising & marketing for CBS Records, RCA and Sam Goody.
I helped launch the career of Meatloaf while at CBS Records and assisted in the career development of other artists such as Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, Hubert Laws, Eddie Money, Crawler and many others and some that are now just 1-hit wonders.
As far as ADVK goes, I spoke to management and the website should go live March 1st 2004. Music establishments are closing daily and music downloads lead the way for kids and adults alike, Apple and all the other music sites proved that a while ago.
There are lots of people out there that feel strongly about about artists getting their profits for what they do. I certainly do and ADVK provides a much better deal for artists and unknowns alike.
I believe that most people will laugh when they realize how cheap we were able to buy ADVK.
Their board will be made up of music industry bigwigs.
They will have big music co-sponsors to help market the site.
Their marketing effort will show up in Billboard, Underground Rags and many other venues.
They will have a revenue sharing program for artists not yet signed by labels.
They will use MP3 format, the industry standard, so everyone can use it.
Music Downloads will be copywrited to protect artists.
I will add more info as I discuss things further with management.
Good luck to all,
Norms
ah I see you have your own board - coming over
hey lance - yup its me
how you been?
that would be great jm
thanks..........njnorm
TKRN Bio Terrorism Play as posted by Wayne Rumball:
From Wayne Rumball on TKRN:
Only OTCBB RICIN play I could find, TKRN;
need to read down to the bottom, just before "about Tekron";
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov 20, 2003 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Tekron, Inc.
(OTCBB:TKRN) announces that Biovirus and Dr. Insell are proceeding with the
development of military applications of their combined technology platforms.
There can be no doubt we have entered a new era of heightened awareness to
intentional (Anthrax) and unintentional (SARS) biological threats. While
governments currently bear most of the responsibility for our safety, the
responsibility will likely broaden to include the private sector. Increased
vigilance and government surveillance has led to a new perception of reality.
Yet none of these biological threats are new! New approaches, methodologies and
vaccines will have to be created to thwart both perceived and real biological
threats and disease. These include both viral and bacterial agents such as
Smallpox, West Nile virus, other filoviruses, SARS, viral hemorrhagic disease,
Ebola, Plague, Anthrax, Botulism, and Tularemia.
Biovirus is using its proprietary mathematical (computational genomic)
technology platform and immunological expertise to build a library of novel,
synthetic peptides because it believes that such antigens could be the key
active component(s) of future preventative and therapeutic vaccines for new
strains or variants of Smallpox. Biovirus is further committing to collaborate
with Dr. Insell with the goal of applying its technology platform to bacterial
pathogenic agents such as Anthrax. Such efforts may yield a new class of peptide
vaccines hitherto not known.
Short discovery cycle. Usually it takes months if not years to develop vaccine
prototypes for new or mutated viruses. Our technology, which is based on
computational genomic, dramatically shortens the cycle allowing the first
candidates to be calculated, synthesized and tested in a matter of days to
weeks. This can completely change the way in which biological weaponry is
developed and counter measured. In other words, when a new viral biological
weapon is developed and/or deployed, a vaccine counter measure (novel peptides
construct) can be calculated, made and tested in a matter of weeks. This
definitely applies to viral agents, known and new variants, as well as new
variants of Anthrax. It is possible that new variants of Anthrax for military
use have already been produced.
Dr. Insell's research and extensive experience with B. anthracic, B.
thuringiensis and B. medusa has shown that these pathogens are merely plastid
transposable genetic variations of the common spore-forming bacterium Bacillus
cereus. Bacillus anthracic is the human pathogenic form, Bacillus thuringiensis
is the insecticidal form and Bacillus medusa is of unknown pathogen city. These
transposable plasmid elements encode for various different toxins responsible
for the pathogenicity of these spore-forming bacteria. Using Bio-Virus'
technology platform, it may be possible to develop peptide construct vaccines
that are potent immunogens against these toxins, their bacterial cells and their
spores. Biovirus Medical intends on immediately pursuing this line of research
and development.
About Biovirus:
Biovirus Research Corporation is a privately held biopharmaceutical corporation
that uses bioinformatics (computational genomic), functional genomic (gene
function) and immunology for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of herpes
virus infections and their associated diseases. The company has used its
proprietary bioinformatic platform to build a library of novel anti-herpetic
peptide constructs that are the active components of several preventative and
therapeutic vaccines.
Biovirus over the past 10 years has developed and patented the research
discoveries of Dr. Daniel Golubev, renowned Russian virologist and former chair
of the Department of Virology at Leningrad State University. Dr. Golubev, while
in Russia, discovered the persistence of Influenza A virus, developed its
vaccine, discovered a correlation between the herpetic virus genomes and DNA of
atherosclerotic plaques and produced along with Alex Chaihorsky, President and
CEO of Biovirus, a novel patented peptide vaccine towards Herpes Simplex type I
and II. Biovirus developed a novel, mathematical approach in developing peptide
vaccines that are non-viral, synthetic and polyvalent. Among other
possibilities, this approach can be used for extremely rapid development of
multiple vaccine candidates. The estimated market for this product is
approximately $300 Million per annum.
About Dr. Insell
Dr. Insell received his B.Sc. in engineering physics from the University of
Waterloo in 1972. His scientific training broadened as he took positions at The
Hospital for Sick Children, Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, Ontario and the
University of Toronto, Department of Surgery studying the ultra structure of
hyper acute rejection, human fetal lung development and extra corporal renal
viability in the laboratories of Dr. Martin Barkin, Dr. Cohen and Dr. G. A
Taylor. He pursued his electron microscopic interests studying the genetics,
ultra structure and physiology of predacious fungi receiving his M. Sc. in
microbiology in 1975 from the University of Waterloo. His elucidation of the
novel biophysics of these fascinating microorganisms was featured by the
prestigious journal New Scientist.
Insell continued his studies of the molecular genetics and biochemistry of
pathogenic sporulating bacilli, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus anthracic in
the laboratories of Dr. Phil Fitz-James, Department of Bacteriology and
Immunology at the University of Western Ontario and subsequently earned his PhD
in bacteriology and immunology from the School of Medicine in 1982. His studies
led to an understanding of the origin of the pathogenicity of speculating
bacilli and their evolution. He undertook his postdoctoral training studying the
ultra structure, physiology and biochemistry of psychrophilic and mesophilic
pathogenic fungi. He took a faculty position in the Department of Life Sciences,
pursuing his research interests in molecular evolution.
In 1984, Dr. Insell took his discovery of microbial ontogenetic evolution and
founded a biotechnology company commercializing this finding. For the next eight
years, he developed and patented bacteria that degrade toxic waste as well as
developed novel strains of the insecticidal bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis and
Bacillus laterosporus and the renown human pathogen Bacillus anthracis
(anthrax). Dr. Insell took the first biotech company public in Canada. Dr.
Insell was featured in the Canadian Business Magazine as well as being nominated
for the highly prestigious Ernest Manning leading Canadian scientist award in
1986.
From 1996 to 1998, Dr. Insell resided in San Diego and became actively involved
in it's biotech community, culminating in becoming a consulting biotechnology
associate director in engineering and science at the University of California,
San Diego. Before returning to Canada, Dr. Insell liaised with state and federal
legislators, sat on the Biocom employment taskforce, working with many of the
over three hundred and fifty biotechnology companies in San Diego and
contributed to the biotechnology curriculum development at UCSD. He originated
and developed several new courses at UCSD in design of clinical trials, FDA
approval procedures, GLP and GMP.
Dr. Insell has authored over ten peered reviewed scientific publications, two
patents and over fifty scientific reports and engineering assessments. For the
past five years, he has been president of J.P Insell & Associates, consulting
scientists and engineers, undertaking scientific audits and engineering
assessments for investment banking and biopharma venture capitalists. As an
environmental engineer as well as a bacteriologist, Dr. Insell has designed and
implemented numerous novel treatment systems and site remediations and has been
involved in the development of a treatment for herpes, atherosclerosis and a
cure for psoriasis.
Most recently, Dr. Insell has been retained by large automotive corporations,
financial institutions to provide consulting, and laboratory services for the
identification and countermeasure response to germ warfare agents and the
response to other unidentified bioharzardous materials (RUM). Dr. Insell has
developed biohazard response protocols and designed an emergency responder
biohazard kit (equipment) for RUM. Dr Insell teaches these protocols to the
medical staff and emergency response personnel in the automotive industry. Dr.
Insell lectures on anthrax, tularemia, plague, botulinum, ricin, smallpox and
other viral infections such as West Nile virus, SARS, bovine spongiformy
encephalitis (mad cows disease) and their corporate response.

A Fun Post for the morning :)
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon".
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and! reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10.You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
here is post from another board as sent to shareholder from ADL...
I have seen this kind of thing over and over again. I will be buying the dip this am in long term account and be very happy soon thereafter.
*******************************************************************
"""""""Not much more to say as you all know how I feel about the science of this thing and I am not the only one which brings me to the market and the trading of the past 3 weeks.We now know that there is a short.It is highly unlikely that is insider or board member as this was done by Knight trading and SLK,the 2 biggest brokers to hedge funds and pro's.Also,it is impossible physically to borrow $1 stocks as they are fully paid for and not allowed to be lent out.Also,the DTC sheets showed no change in any of the large holders,in fact they all increased into the selling over the past few weeks whils the short interest rose.My best guess is that a hedge fund with reach into the FDA and/or Docro was naked shorting knowing that they would be able to cover quickly without having to deliver.Hopefully there is not too much panic tomorrow,one thing for sure there was a large buyer and he probably will be there.I sincerely hope he launches some type of inquiry into who the sller was with the SEC etc.Now if the shorting stops it may well cause some support,also the large holders who have been buying may well continue as they have into the weakness.One thing for sure,the seller cannot sell many more and will need to start covering especially if small holders hang in there as the large holders have shown that they are not sellers already.
AMDL INC. - UPDATE 01/29/04 - 9:24 pm est....... Today's press releases are not near as bad as many people may think. Our opinion is the events of today are nothing more than a speed bump in the road. After spending more than an hour on the telephone, what I have found out is what has happened is nothing more than an FDA comment letter to the company on 3 deficiencies. The testing firm, DOCRO, informs my sources that the answers to the questions the FDA has are in the original 1,000 page application. A female was handling the case and she had to take maternity leave. A new examiner was given the case ONE WEEK ago and felt that a deficiency letter needed to be sent out because of the amount of time that had elapsed since their last letter to the company. As I said in my update tonight, DOCRO has a 96% approval rate on submissions to the FDA and the president of DOCRO has told the company that he will set up a personal meeting with the FDA asap to show them where the answers they are looking for are in the original application. A meeting was planned with the FDA two or three days ago but had to be canceled because of the snowstorm in NY and Washington. There are several big time investors who own hundreds of thousand shares each who all believe big time in this company and the president of the company is on the phone with all of them tonight throughly explaining the "real" deal. DOCRO has told the company they are still very confident they will get FDA approval on DR-70. I think you'll see support in the market tomorrow. In addition, if someone has been shorting this stock as we believe, he will have to cover. Signing off for tonight, I'd be a buyer tomorrow....."""""
Is anyone here familiar with ATCCQ .0015 by .003 - they are evidently into VOIP and there was some renewed interest the other day.
This is only old news I could find...
