Vega Promotional Systems, Inc. (OTC: VGPR) provided the following update on the Company's Green Valley Project:
Located in western
There are three phases to the project that must be completed in order to produce electricity. The first step was securing the rights to the methane gas from the Green Valley Mine. As recently announced, Vega has entered into a Gas Purchase Agreement with
The methane gas from the mine will be delivered through gas lines to the production facility located on the surface just above the mine. The second phase of the project was securing the production facility. The Company recently announced it has entered into a lease of the entire production site.
The methane has been tested and a successful demonstration project was in operation for approximately three years, proving the viability of utilizing the coal bed methane from the Green Valley Mine as a sole source fuel to generate electricity from natural gas reciprocating engine generator sets. Replacing the generator sets is phase three of the project. The Company's engineers will be meeting at the site the second week of December with representatives from recently chosen ARE Energy, a division of American Railroad Equipment to discuss the proposed delivery and set up of the new generator sets. Once the power production facility is restarted it will produce approximately 5 megawatts of power that will be sold to the local power company.
The Company will release additional details on The Green Valley Project as the project moves forward.

November 30 - Biomagnetics Signs Contract With
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP), a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis and malaria detection, today announced the Company has finalized a "Patent License Agreement with Los Alamos National Security." Under the agreement, Biomagnetics will have access to the Triggered Optical Biosensor and Integrated Optical Biosensor System (IBOS) technology, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
IOBS are a relatively new classification of pathogen detection equipment that use advanced fiber optic-based technology to detect a wide variety of human and animal pathogens. These devices are specifically designed to be field deployable and ultra-portable, allowing for the rapid detection of various viral and bacterial pathogens by relatively untrained personnel outside of the laboratory setting.
“We are very excited to have completed this agreement with Los Alamos National Security, which gives us access to some of the most technologically advanced and exciting biosensor technology in existence. The Integrated Optical Biosensor (IBOS) we plan to introduce into the marketplace, the technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is truly revolutionary. Additionally, the platform was specifically designed to be operated by personnel with only minimal training. These features make IBOS the perfect platform for field and point of care testing for the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, malaria, cholera and potentially dozens of other diseases that kill millions of people each year. We look forward to working with the lab personnel on this and other endeavors.”
According to the World Health Organization, some 3.2 billion people, or about half of the world's population is at risk for 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. TB (tuberculosis) is the second leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. Bovine TB is a growing problem throughout the world with an estimated 1.3 billion cattle at risk. In the

Optical Systems, Inc., through its operating subsidiary, Automotive Software Designers, Inc., develops technology and services for the automotive retail industry designed to maximize productivity and increase profits at auto dealerships. ASDI's flagship technology solution, Save-a-Deal, is a turnkey customer relationship management (CRM) tool for auto dealerships.

November 23 - SmallCapSentinel.com: Finding a Niche
The software sector is dominated by Goliath-like names that nearly every investor is familiar with. Microsoft, Oracle, and a few other players rule the proverbial roost in the software world when it comes to sales, profits and investor affection. To be sure, the software business is split into kingdoms. Microsoft dominates software applications for personal computers while Oracle is an enormous provider of enterprise software. This certainly curtails room for competitors, but if a smaller player can focus on the right niche, it just might find its way to prime-time billing in an industry.
Optical Systems Inc. (OTC: OPSY) appears to have found its niche in the automotive industry and recent news affirms some traction. Texas-based Optical Systems makes customer relationship management (CRM) software for auto dealers. The company recently launched the latest version of its flagship product, Save-a-Deal 2010, which helps car dealers increase their profitability. At its core, Save-a-Deal helps dealers sell more cars while boosting per vehicle profits — all while reducing dealer costs. In other words, in what is one of the most margin-sensitive businesses around, many car dealers could potentially benefit from deploying software from Optical Systems.
There is one certainty about the car business and it is that dealers have to sell cars regardless of the economic climate. Compare that to traditional software where businesses and retail consumers often cut back on new technology purchases when the economy is weak and Optical Systems has that advantage compared to its larger software peers. Optical Systems' laser-like focus on car dealers works to the company's advantage and in turn, to the benefit of Optical System's pursuit of its own niche.

"The new FTA report in Save-a-Deal 2010 protects dealerships from fraud, theft, abuse, and waste," said B.J. Grisaffi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Optical Systems, Inc. "Our advanced data mining and security features create an impermeable, detailed audit of inventory and customers that lets dealerships know where fraud occurs, and prevent against any future occurrences."
Save-a-Deal is a comprehensive, fully-integrated front office software solution specifically designed to increase auto dealerships' profitability. When properly used, this scalable CRM system is guaranteed to increase unit sales and profit-per-vehicle, while lowering costs through enhanced efficiency. Save-a-Deal 2010 is a more streamlined, cost-effective CRM solution than its predecessor with added capabilities in remote personnel management, customer service, training, and security.
New features in Save-a-Deal 2010 include:
* Real-time access speeds with normal content loads of more than 200,000 database records from three different states with multiple, concurrent users.
* Added scalability from modular software architecture.
* Significant cost savings on installation and maintenance.
* Three levels of security to ensure protection of dealerships' sensitive data and information.
* More customization for electronic records management.
"Finance managers can't afford to have discrepancies in their reporting," said Grisaffi. "The FTA report is designed to provide finance managers with air-tight audits and unparalleled security."

November 30 - Lifeline Biotechnologies Reports on an Update to the First Warning System's Advanced Analytical Capabilities
Lifeline Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: LLBO) reported that management has recently returned from Singapore where meetings were conducted with Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering to receive the final report on the software development of Lifeline’s First Warning System™.
Jim Holmes, Lifeline’s CEO said, “This final report is the result of a two year contract we’ve had with NTU and their successful effort to improve the capabilities of our First Warning System™ to accurately interpret patient data and classify the physiological condition of a woman’s breast. Our system has been designed and developed to assist in the early detection of breast cancer.”
Dr. Louis Keith, Lifeline’s Vice President and Medical Director said, “The report clearly displayed that the system of obtaining physiological measurements of the dynamic changes in the breasts of women was valid, and that such data could be efficiently and effectively classified into four reproducible classes which then could be transmitted to examining physicians for use as an adjunct to the early detection of breast cancer. Of equal importance, the report showed that the noninvasive First Warning System™ was more efficient than mammography without exposure to radiation and compression while providing indications of tissue irregularities at much earlier stages.”
Lifeline filed with the FDA in July, 2009 and is anticipating a response. Once the FDA’s response is received, the Company will issue a press release, as well as post the response on Lifeline’s website.
The Company has received many questions concerning the prospect of a reverse split of the common stock. Though the outstanding common stock is increased from time to time, there are no plans for a reverse split. Lifeline competes in the money markets for funds to continue the development of its products as well as supporting operating and administrative expenses. The cost of funds, for companies such as Lifeline, is expensive and the terms have been and may continue to be dilutive. The Company continues to seek alternative sources of financing in an effort to reduce the dilutive aspects.
