October 27 - Biomagnetics Concludes Contract Talks with U.S. Government Lab — Preparing Gates Foundation Grant Application

 

Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP), a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and malaria detection, announced the Company has completed business negotiations with one of the U.S. Government's top national security research institutions regarding the acquisition of rights to the Integrated Optical Biosensor System (IBOS) technology developed by the laboratory personnel. Biomagnetics Diagnostics plans to utilize this technology to enter the significantly underserved market for handheld biosensors capable of detecting a broad range of disease causing viruses, bacteria and fungi.

 

“We are very pleased to complete our negotiations as the market’s interest level in this form of technology is significant, commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corporation. “We have already signed a letter of intent with Bright Dairy, which is China's third largest dairy operation and several other organizations have contacted us about availability of the IBOS platform. In November, we will be meeting with India’s Health Ministry Blood Bank, in New Delhi specializing in malaria with the goal of conducting clinical trials for product commercialization throughout India. We have also begun to prepare our application for Round 4 of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenges grant due November 2nd. The topic of Round 4 is the creation of low-cost diagnostics for priority global health conditions, which include malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. The Gates Foundation states the proposed diagnostics will ultimately need to fill many of the criteria found in the acronym ASSURED: Affordable by those at risk of infection, Sensitive, Specific, User-friendly (simple to perform with minimal training), Rapid and Robust, Equipment-free or minimal equipment, and Delivered to those who need it. We believe the IBOS technology we plan to introduce to the market fills the criteria very adequately and thus, we believe our chances of winning a Gate’s Foundation grant are very high. We look forward to bringing this state of the art technology to market over the coming months.”

 

According to the World Health Organization, some 3.2 billion people, or about half the world's population is at risk of malaria transmission in 107 countries and territories worldwide. While there are between 350 million and 500 million new cases of malaria each year, there are very few reliable and field deployable diagnostic tools available. In the case of malaria, early detection substantially improves treatability and survivability. Field deployable Integrated Optical Biosensor Systems (IBOS), such those Biomagnetics Diagnostics is planning to soon introduce hold the promise to significantly speed the diagnostic testing process and to meaningfully lower costs and improve lives.

October 29 - Pavilion Energy Resources Pursuing Additional Offshore Wind Farm Locations

 

Pavilion Energy Resources, Inc. (OTC: PVRE) announced that it is a 10% equity partner in a joint venture (JV) that has submitted a multi-billion dollar proposal to the state of Texas to develop a massive wind energy project located in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of South Padre Island. The turbines incorporated in the JV's proposal are based on the proprietary wind accelerating technology invented by Peter Sterling, Pavilion's President and Chief Executive Officer. These turbines generate 400% more turbine power per dollar of capital than existing technology. This technology makes very-large-scale, offshore, wind power farms with slower average wind speeds, as is the case in Texas, more than economical. The project award is expected to be made within the next one to two years.

 

This 25-year project, referred to as the Texas Coastal Clean Power Project, requires the manufacturing, installation and operation of at least 5 wind farms, each of which generates approximately 10,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity per hour for a total of 50 gigawatts (GW) per hour. The wholesale value of the electricity from each 10GW facility is approximately $2.5 billion to $5.0 billion per year. The JV's proposal offers to pay the Texas state government a 1% royalty for ten years, rising to 2% after ten years in net electricity revenue from the wind farm. Upon receiving an award, the JV intends to secure available U.S. Government clean energy grants for 30% of the project's construction costs and low-interest, loan guarantees from the U.S. Government to finance the remaining 70% of the project's cost.

 

Peter Sterling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pavilion, commented, "This project will develop a new source of clean, renewable electricity, and help mature next-generation, offshore, wind technologies which:

 

* Generate energy at a more competitive cost than any other generating technology;

* Provide new zero-carbon power generation that enhances local economic growth and prosperity;

* Stabilize the Texas transmission grid by diversifying generating capacity and provide peak load power;

* Produce no negative environmental impacts on the marine or coastal environments while creating new safe habitats for fish and recreational fishing; and

* Create new local jobs for the design, fabrication and installation of new wind power technology and for operation and maintenance of the wind farms."

October 27 - NXT Nutritionals' CEO Michael McCarthy Releases Letter to Shareholders

 

Discussion Updates Shareholders; Speaks to Future Corporate Initiatives and Expanding Opportunities for NXT Nutritionals’ SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener

 

NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NXTH) (“NXT Nutritionals”) developer and marketer of SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener, the great tasting, all-natural, healthier sweetener, released a letter to shareholders from Michael McCarthy, president and Chief Executive Officer, providing investors with management’s vision for the company in the remainder of 2009 and beyond.

 

Dear Shareholders:

 

As Chief Executive Officer of NXT Nutritionals, it is my pleasure to speak with you today and bring you details of our various corporate initiatives and discuss our plans for the future. Our intent is to regularly inform current and potential investors of our progress, as NXT Nutritionals becomes uniquely positioned to capture a significant share of the alternative sweetener market with our game-changing, SUSTA™ Natural Sweetener.

 

As you may have discovered through our recent distribution announcements, NXT’s corporate online videos, or simply by visiting one of the many grocery stores that are distributing our product, our flagship product: SUSTA is a cutting-edge, natural sweetening system that is poised to revolutionize the alternative sweetener marketplace. It has minimal calories, no lingering aftertaste and is all-natural. Not only does SUSTA sweeten the taste of food without all of the side effects of sugars or chemicals, it also contains healthy probiotics; vital dietary fiber; antioxidants and key cellular nutrients – leading to an increased metabolism. SUSTA simultaneously supports the health of your bones, heart, and immune system.

 

This is in contrast to many of the other leading sweeteners, which use chemicals to achieve their sweetening effects.

 

These other leading sweeteners have been shown, through various research studies, to fool the body into responding to these chemicals almost identically to sugar, a phenomenon known as “metabolic syndrome.” The AHA sets the limit at nine teaspoons of sugar, or 150 calories a day, for men and six teaspoons, or 100 calories a day, for women. Although sugars sourced from natural fruits and vegetables are considered healthy, added sugars like those found in soft drinks and processed foods should be limited. (1)

 

As more consumers around the world become aware of these effects, we believe there will be a quantum shift to natural solutions like SUSTA. In fact, SUSTA is well positioned to be a leading natural alternative sweetening system in the marketplace. It is currently being sold as a stand-alone sweetener and is in our Healthy Dairy® Yogurt Smoothies, with plans to expand to a variety of SUSTA-based beverage drinks and nutritional products.

 

As expressed in our constant updates on distribution agreements nearly 1,200 supermarkets in the Northeast region are now stocking the 50-packet boxes of SUSTA, including, just to name a few: ShopRite, Shaw’s Supermarkets, Pathmark, A&P Fresh, Super Fresh, Waldbaum’s, Food Emporium, Associated Supermarkets, Foodtown, Kings Super Markets, Pioneer Supermarkets, Met Foodmarkets and Key Food.

 

SUSTA can be used in coffees, teas, cereals, anything that requires a sweetener. Our SUSTA products are packaged in individual 2 gram packets and will soon be available in a multi-serve pouch that will be suitable for baking.

 

SUSTA is ideal for individuals craving sweetness but for whom sugar is not a viable option. At the top of this list are diabetics, individuals on weight loss programs, and those proactively managing obesity. Another target demographic consists of the legions of health conscious consumers that have called for the rapid rise in organic and all-natural food and beverage sectors over the last ten years. And finally, SUSTA is aimed at those with active lifestyles, wellness advocates and sports enthusiasts, who want to maintain their healthy diets and routines.

 

In addition to the stand-alone sweetener, NXT has developed a line of SUSTA-enhanced yogurt drinks marketed as Healthy Dairy® Yogurt Smoothies. These drinks are all-natural and nonfat; they contain 23 essential nutrients and proteins; and they come in five great flavors, with several new flavors on the way.

 

Healthy Diary smoothies are now in several thousand stores in 14 states along the East Coast. No other smoothie product in the marketplace today has Healthy Dairy’s combination of appealing packaging, the health benefits of SUSTA and our unique taste profile.

 

NXT Nutritionals will also rapidly expand into the bulk ingredient segment by aggressively targeting established consumer food and beverage product companies and encouraging them to incorporate SUSTA into their products.

 

In order to better promote all of our products, brand awareness of our stand-alone sweetener: SUSTA, is crucial. SUSTA will be driven by an aggressive PR campaign and a massive sampling program. Because of the health benefits of SUSTA, especially for diabetics, the Company intends to partner with a number of health organizations and engage a number of high profile celebrities, such as our recent announcement of Blair Underwood as spokesperson, to use and endorse SUSTA.

 

On the corporate side of our business, we have been assembling a robust group of consummate experts to our Board of Directors in the past three months, including: i) Paul S.
