There is an article in the Orlando (Fl) Sentinel newspaper dated June 8, 2010, that states Cryobanks International was sold at auction for 100 bucks. Don't know how to post it on IH.
Anyone.......tune in to ABC World News with Diane Sawyer tonight at 6:30ET for part two of a two part series about cord blood storage. Part one can be seen in print somewhere in their website abc.com.
As of April 26, Thompson Reuters has a performance rating of OUTPERFORM for CBAI. A good sign.
Ooops.........thank you Locks......
Recent information that I have is that ViaCord was recently purchased by Perkin-Elmer. I think this is correct.
Re: BioCells........I see the BioCells Argentina web site lists Dr. Geoffrey O'Neill as their new Scienfific Advisor AND Lab Director. Web site needs updating.......or did I miss something?

Investopedia.com classifies a company with a market cap less than 50M as a "Nano cap".
Dew.......another of my understandings is that Vegas will be a research AND storage lab. So in my opinion that will be TWO storage facilities. Thanks for your replies.
Does anyone know..........will Corcell continue to operate or will everything now be done in Vegas? My understanding is that both will be doing the same things.

There is no more disruptive or transformational technology than stem cell therapy. The ability to repair or replace aged and diseased body parts, from hearts to brain cells, will dramatically improve both the length and quality of life. It will also, of course, yield profits that many economists believe will be unmatched in history. One company has just emerged as the most likely producer of those profits.
Disruptive technologies, however, are always opposed by the status quo. Opposition comes not only from businesses that are replaced and disrupted. Elements of the public itself are threatened psychologically by major change. We see this in the active resistance to even clearly beneficial technologies. Genetically modified food crops are a prime example. Though modified varieties of rice and grains dramatically improve lives in the Third World, they are virulently opposed by parts of the environmental movement that view genetic engineering as a crime against nature.
Regenerative medicine also has its opponents. They are more likely to have religious than environmental grounds for their opposition. We have seen this, unfortunately, in the administration’s general pressure on various executive agencies to discourage stem cell research.
The FDA’s recent refusal to allow stem cell company Geron to proceed with trials of its spinal cord therapy is just one example, but its impact has been enormous. This is not the time for transformational investors to flee regenerative medicine, though. More than ever, it is critical that you make stem cells part of your diversified portfolio of breakthrough stocks. As I’ve said many times, we can afford to lose on some of these as long as we hold the winners. Transformational stocks show profits in the tens of thousands of percent, not the single-digit averages that most successful portfolios boast.
Remember, the great transformational investors have always bought when the public has given up hope. This is one of those times. Nevertheless, I’ll admit that I’m more than irritated by the FDA’s decision. There is no shortage of spinal cord injury patients willing to risk side effects to move the science forward.
The FDA’s justification for preventing their treatment is that Geron’s cells are not proven to be pure. Even if true, it’s unlikely that the consequences would be as severe as paralysis. Quadriplegia is usually an early death sentence, and the U.S. spends over $5 billion per year caring for sufferers.
This is a good time to review the transformational tech cycle. Many economists have addressed this pattern. Here, though, is the version used by tech-consulting research giant Gartner:
On Gartner’s chart, we’re on the rising “slope of enlightenment.” Evidence comes from the sixth annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research that took place in Philadelphia this June. In the short history of the event, everything about it has changed. Attendance has gone from a few hundred to thousands of working scientists from around the world. More importantly, the mood and outlook of stem cell researchers has wholly changed. The reason is the flood of breakthroughs since last year’s ISSCR meeting. Let’s recap.
Last year, three different research groups reprogrammed normal mouse skin cells to an embryonic state. Though the use of viruses made the technique unacceptable for humans, some of these cells were used to produce healthy mouse clones. This proved that stem cells can be derived from adult cells. Skeptics, however, pointed out that rodent cells are very unlike human cells.
Then, researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center produced a new stem cell line using adult monkey cells. This muted most of the doubters. Then, in November, two separate groups announced the creation of completely programmable stem cells from adult human cells.
Just this February, completely programmable pluripotent stem cells were created using cells from an adult mouse’s liver and stomach. Unlike mice born from embryos in the previous experiments, those created with these cells were much more likely to be healthy. The techniques solved some of the health risks associated with human therapies and have spurred further research.
I’ve talked personally in recent months to a number of stem cell researchers, including the leading lights. Most believe we’re closing in on a solution to the large and growing problem of heart failure. Specifically, the solution is growing new muscle cells (recapitulating embryonic myogenesis) within the heart (cardiomyoplasty) via stem cells.
This would, in effect, deliver a brand-new heart. At the same time, this will reline the vascular tree to repair endothelial dysfunction, such as that seen in coronary disease and stroke. Leading researchers expect a breakthrough to occur in the next five years, even if they’re not going on the record.
Until next time, here’s to transformational profits.

If the words "oil & gas" are no longer in the new name, does this mean they will no longer be involved with oil & gas. Also the only info I could get on the number of employees other than Mr. Sterling is one. Can anyone confirm if this is true.
According to Investopedia.com that puts HMGP in a "Nano Cap" category. Next step up is "Micro Cap". Looking forward to that. Just a little tidbit to throw into the board.
The HEMI HAT....Does anyone have a photo that you can post? Thanks in advance.
Just for the record......the link I submitted for "Oil Stocks Rise" was from the AP and dated Monday, Oct. 15 at 12.22PM, and all of a sudden the link has expired. Go figure..........
That is wierd, because when I click on the link...........it brings up the page...."Sector Snap: Oil Stocks Rise".

Panic from the Oil Crunch
By Keith Kohl
Baltimore, MD--The reality of peak oil will set in over the next few years. But once the world realizes the serious effects it'll have, the real panic will start.
The first sentence from the IEA's latest oil market report is sobering:
"Despite four years of high oil prices, this report sees increasing market tightness beyond 2010, with OPEC spare capacity declining to minimal levels by 2012."
Our world is digging itself into a serious hole. Consumption levels are growing faster than anticipated. Production levels are rapidly declining. Oil reached record prices over $78 a barrel during the summer of 2006.
But we had a good excuse for that, right?
Everything was still in disarray from the catastrophic effects of Katrina and Rita. The market became extremely tight. So we accepted the higher energy prices. Things would get better after we repaired the damage, wouldn't they?
Almost year after those record prices, oil is marching back up. Today, prices pushed over $73.50 a barrel. No major hurricanes or disruptions to blame anymore . . . not yet, at least.
And day after day, the reality of peak oil is setting in. My readers are well aware that U.S. oil production is dying. Even the North Sea is depleting more than expected, with production falling to 2.8 million barrels per day.

21 Ways to Take Advantage of this Once-in-a-Lifetime Scenario
The editors here at Angel Research have been warning about the effects of Peak Oil for years. But now - the situation has reached a critical juncture.
This September, find out first-hand - from no fewer than eight experts - precisely how to cash in on the coming $20 trillion investment bonanza.
You'll walk away with no fewer than 21 ways to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime scenario. Guaranteed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But reduced production isn't the worst part of peak oil. Looking around, you can see governments are starting to get worried.
The Panic to Control Oil
The race is on.
When it comes to controlling the oil markets, it's all about who's got the reserves. And I'm not surprised to see governments grabbing all the oil they can.
After all, it's a logical decision. It puts them in a better position to exploit oil markets and prices. This leads to higher revenues.
Consider that 90% of the world's oil reserves are owned by nationalized oil companies.
I'll get into what that means for us in a minute.
Nationalizing resources, however, isn't always the best thing for a country.
Take Hugo Chavez's latest ousting of foreign oil companies from Venezuela. His last words to the departing oil companies was, "They won't be missed." That may not be the case. The Venezuelan oil companies don't have too much experience with the heavy oil from the Orinoco basin.
A country fighting over its resources is one thing. Fighting for unknown oil reserves in unexplored areas is different. Things are starting to heat up as several countries have begun pushing their rights over the Arctic Circle. Experts believe the Arctic could have over a quarter of the world's unknown oil reserves.
A while back, I mentioned how Russia is aggressively going after the oil and gas reserves in the Arctic seabed. In one bold move, it suddenly claimed 400,000 square miles in the region. Now, Russia is seeking to develop the property for oil and gas targets.
Some countries, however, wouldn't go down without a fight. Canada has increased its military activity in parts of the Northwest Passage. It is spending up to $30 billion on new patrol ships to "defend their sovereignty over the Arctic." The question is, how far are they willing to go for oil?
Russia and Canada have made their intentions clear: They want the rich natural resources the Arctic region can offer, no matter who is in the way.
Our Opportunity to Profit
Things aren't as bleak as they seem for investors like us. The IEA report suggests that there will be a massive amount of cash returns for both oil companies and investors. It makes sense.
And we stand to earn substantial gains from the future oil market. The only question is how to approach the matter. Getting into some of the giant oil companies with massive market capitalization is not the way. They're just too big.
You can get a much better return from the small to mid-cap companies out there. I know some of our readers have gained 355% playing just one of those oil arixj. And the beauty is that there are a lot of those large returns out there. Just make sure you're in the right place at the right time. If you're interested, you can find out more here.
Until next time,
Keith Kohl

Micron Enviro Systems Inc. Acquires Interest in 13,916 acres of New Athabasca Oil Sands Land in Alberta, Canada
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Micron Enviro Systems, Inc.'s (OTCBB: MENV) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange WKN#--:A0J3PY) ("Micron" or the "Company") is extremely pleased to announce that it has acquired an interest in two separate Athabasca Oil Sands Leases consisting of 10 (6326 acres) continuous sections and 12 (7591 acres) contiguous sections, each in the worlds largest Oil Sands field. Bernard McDougall, President of Micron stated, "This is an absolutely huge acquisition for Micron as the Company has gone from interests in 24.5 sections (15,500 acres) to now having interests in 46.5 sections (29,415 acres) of prime Alberta Oil Sands property. These new sections are made up of two substantial continuous blocks neighboring such companies as Paramount, EnCana, Koch and Canadian Natural Resources. These two new blocks are the two largest contiguous blocks of prime Athabasca Oil Sands leases that the Company currently has an interest in. One other exciting aspect is that these new blocks provide the Company with the ability to possibly add to this land as additional continuous parcels are expected to be up for auction in the future. Management firmly believes that the best way to maximize shareholder value is to acquire and develop assets within the Canadian Oil Sands. The most important aspect of this growth is the acquisition of the land, as when you develop the acreage the valuation the Company receives will be determined by the oil in place lying under the total acreage under lease. Micron has grown from having an interest in 4.5 sections at the end of 2006 to now having interest in 46.5 sections of prime Alberta Oil Sands Leases. When you consider that oil is now at 10 month highs, and that geopolitical tensions are rising in the Middle East, Venezuela, Nigeria, and Russia, management feels that the Oil Sands of Canada will be one of the single largest growth areas for oil production in the short and long term. When you couple the fact that Canada is one of the safest economic and political areas to invest in, with Micron being one of the smallest market capitalized companies in one of the largest oil fields on earth, management is quite optimistic about the future of Micron. Management's goal is to ultimately put one or more of our Oil Sands prospects into production in the future."
Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that now has exposure to multiple leases consisting of interests in 46.5 gross sections (29,415 acres) in the Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is one of the largest oil producing regions in the world. Micron holds 100% interest in 4 sections, 50% interest in 16 other sections, 5% interest in 22 sections, and has a 4.17 % net interest in the 4.5 additional Oil Sands sections. Micron also has minor production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells throughout North America. Micron's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. Management continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron's market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects. This is quite an enviable position for a company of Micron's modest market capitalization, and therefore Micron offers tremendous leverage to one of the world's largest oil resources.

nhguy.......Your "reminder" post was interesting and informative. I am a "small potatoes" investor. I would like an explanation as to why the HMGP current bid shows 0.16 and ask at 0.80 as listed on E-trade. What would be the significance of this. I hope you can help. I am in the learning stage. Thanks!
Norman No. 1 oil well........For those not already aware of this historic information...here is a bit of info about where it all started in Kansas.....http://www.kshs.org/portraits/norman_no_1.htm
Does anyone have any comments on ALRY doing business in same general area as HMGP? Thanks in advance for any input.
Lowman......Has HMGP submitted their financials to SEC? New at this. Pinksheets.com shows no indication that they have. How important is this? Thanks in advance for your input.
Press release dated today on UCOI web site. Does this have any special significance.
E-Trade shows Ray Brown has purchased over 50,000,000 shares of UCOI since March '06. To me this shows that he has confidence in his company. Does anyone else on this board have any thoughts on this? Thanks from a newbie.
