December 6 - Sea Containers Wins GE SeaCo Arbitration Case
GE Capital Had Asserted a Change of Control at Sea Containers
Sea Containers Ltd, (OTC: SCRA), which owns half of the common equity in GE SeaCo SRL, one of the world's largest container leasing companies has won the arbitration case brought against it by GE Capital, the co-owner of GE SeaCo.
In September last year, GE Capital of Stamford, Connecticut, contended that when Mr James Sherwood, the company's founder, stood down from his duties as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sea Containers in March 2006, there had been a change of control at Sea Containers that allowed GE to buy out Sea Containers' interests in GE SeaCo.
Sea Containers welcomes the decision by the Arbitrator of the Commercial Arbitration Tribunal in the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution. The Arbitrator found that, for numerous reasons, when Mr Sherwood stepped down from his position at Sea Containers, there was no change of control that might have triggered any right of GE Capital to purchase Sea Containers' interest in GE SeaCo.
The favourable arbitration ruling is a major step forward in Sea Containers' efforts to advance its financial reorganization. Sea Containers looks forward to working with GE Capital to maximise the value of GE SeaCo.

iVoice, Inc. (OTCBB: IVOI) announced that it has received United States Patent, 7,305,344 for a patent “Methodology for Talking Consumer Products with Voice Instructions via Wireless Technology.”
This invention enables users of new products to activate the speaking package of a new product, so there is no need to read instructions. For example, it provides for hands free, eyes free, instructions while assembling new products, such as bicycle, furniture, camera or other products.
To a person with low vision or a physical disability, talking instruction products can mean independence. Talking products offer independence to people with limited use of their hands or to people whose vision is limited. The result is greater satisfaction with their ability to control their own environment and less dependence on caregivers to attend to these common tasks.
“The grant of this patent is centrally important to iVoice, Inc. not only to preserve its technology but also to leverage offensively in the marketplace,” said Mr. Mahoney. The patent award will make a significant milestone in product development for the iVoice technical staff. iVoice’s commitment to innovation technology continues to help customers meet their client requirements.

December 5 - Magellan Energy Announces Update on the Thomas L. Davidson Well #1
Magellan Energy Ltd. (OTC: MGLG), an independent oil and gas company, announced that its management team were on site in Morgan County, Tennessee along with the operators of Ky-Tenn Oil Inc. to oversee the acid treatment project for the Thomas L. Davidson Well #1.
Magellan Energy has been working with Ky-Tenn officials to re-work the Thomas L. Davidson Well #1 located in Morgan County, Tennessee. The treatment scheduled for November 26, 2007 continued on time and with success. The goal for this project was to frac this well with a combination of acid and water to increase productivity. The well was treated with 2000 GL of hydrochloric acid (15%) and 500GL of water. The well reacted very well to the treatment and reached a pressure of 250(lbs). Once all the fluids were introduced the well was closed off. On November 27, 2007 Ky-Tenn Oil Inc re-opened the well which still maintained a pressure 0f 160 (Lbs) and swabbed the well for half the day. The oil presence was extremely strong, so that it was placed immediately back onto the pump. The size of the well compressor/motor is small but the well continued to produce 5 BOPD until it ran out of gas without pumping off. The results will not be finalized until the well stabilizes and maintains a steady flow.
Magellan Energy's President, Mr. Akrivos, said, "We are very pleased with the initial results of the test and that the well did not pump off during the first day of production. Ky-Tenn Oil Inc. will be adding a larger motor to the well to maintain a steady flow throughout the day without disruption to production thus enabling us to get a steady barrel count. We have to understand that this well was treated in the past and although we did not get the pressure of 1500 lbs, we anticipated the well still reacted very nicely to this treatment and has come back with an increased production rate. Until the well stabilizes and we upgrade the motor we will be unable to give continuous, accurate barrel count. This success is the first stage of many for Magellan and its shareholders. We will continue to focus on our quest to place Magellan on top as a reputable, revenue producing company in the oil and gas industry with proven results for shareholders."
