Administaff (NYSE: ASF) $26.06. Today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010. For the second quarter, the company reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $5.4 million and $0.22 per diluted share in 2009.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 2.0% over the 2009 period due to a 5.1%, or $63 increase in revenues per worksite employee per month, offset by a 2.9% decrease in the average number of worksite employees paid per month.


What They Do: Administaff is the nation’s leading professional employer organization (PEO), serving as a full-service human resources department that provides small and medium-sized businesses with administrative relief, big-company benefits, reduced liabilities and a systematic way to improve productivity.

PROLOR Biotech (AMEX: PBTH) $5.95. Today announced publication of a preclinical study in the current on-line edition of the journal Endocrinology showing that human growth hormone (hGH) linked to PROLOR's carboxyl terminal peptide (CTP) technology has significantly increased half-life and bioactivity compared to commercially available hGH.  The publication, which is authored by PROLOR researchers, will also be included in the September print edition of Endocrinology.

PROLOR is developing hGH-CTP to provide growth hormone deficient adults and children with growth hormone therapy that requires only once-weekly or bi-monthly injections, rather than the multiple injections per week required by current hGH regimens.  PROLOR recently initiated a Phase II clinical trial of hGH-CTP, following a successful Phase I trial that suggested that hGH-CTP, in addition to meeting all safety and tolerability endpoints, could potentially be effective when injected just twice per month.

What They Do: PROLOR Biotech, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company applying unique technologies, including its patented CTP technology, primarily to develop longer-acting, biobetter, proprietary versions of already-approved therapeutic proteins that currently generate billions of dollars in annual global sales.
