Fitch Downgrades Smurfit-Stone to 'D' on Bankruptcy Filing
Last Update: 1/26/2009 5:22:00 PM
Fitch Downgrades Smurfit-Stone to 'D' on Bankruptcy Filing
CHICAGO, Jan 26, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fitch Ratings has downgraded the ratings of Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (SSCC) as follows:
--Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'D' from 'C';
--Secured bank debt to 'CCC/RR2' from 'CCC/RR1';
--Senior unsecured debt to 'C/RR6' from 'C/RR4'.
The preferred stock rating remains at 'C/RR6'.
The ratings downgrades have been prompted by today's voluntary bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 by SSCC and its subsidiaries as well as filings by the company's Canadian subsidiaries under the Creditors Arrangement Act. Approximately $1.270 billion in secured debt and $2.275 billion in unsecured debt is affected. SSCC has obtained commitments for $750 million of debtor-in-possession financing (DIP) not currently rated by Fitch, of which approximately $400 million will be used to refinance off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitizations and $350 million of which will be used to finance ongoing operations. The change in the secured and the unsecured Recovery Ratings of SSCC reflect the inclusion of the incremental funding in the DIP facility and a revision to the estimated liquidation values of certain assets.
SSCC is a key North American producer in the corrugated box markets with 14 paper mills and 122 corrugated container plants. The company produces 7 million tons annually of containerboard and sells more than 70 billion square feet of boxes to home appliance, beverage, food, pharmaceutical, computer, machinery and furniture manufacturers.
Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, . Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times.

Acusphere Announces Publication of Imagify(TM) Phase 3 Trials in the European Journal of Echocardiography
Paper concludes that Imagify is well-tolerated and its diagnostic performance is comparable with nuclear imaging
WATERTOWN, Mass., Jan 21, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Acusphere, Inc. (ACUS) today announced that an original paper summarizing the Phase 3 clinical trial results for Imagify(TM) (Perflubutane Polymer Microspheres) for Injectable Suspension, a cardiovascular drug for the detection of coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, has been published in the current issue of the European Journal of Echocardiography. The paper concludes that Imagify Perfusion Stress Echo is well-tolerated, and that its diagnostic performance in chest pain patients is comparable with single photo emission computed tomography, or SPECT, perfusion imaging. The paper, entitled "Detection of Coronary Artery Disease with Perfusion Stress Echocardiography Using a Novel Ultrasound Imaging Agent: Two Phase 3 International Trials in Comparison with Radionuclide Perfusion Imaging," is authored by Dr. Roxy Senior, Consultant Cardiologist and Director of Cardiac Research, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research at Northwick Park Hospital in the U.K., among others. Dr. Senior was the lead clinical investigator for Acusphere's clinical trials for Imagify.
The paper appears in the January 2009 issue, Volume 10, Pages 26-35.

Brite-Strike New Products Take the SHOT Show by Storm
Thursday January 29, 8:00 am ET
KINGSTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 29, 2009 -- Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. (Other OTC:BSTI.PK - News) announced today that it introduced two new products at the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida, that many industry insiders called the hottest new products at the show. "The excitement generated by these products, particularly for a company our size, was nothing short of extraordinary," said Mr. Glenn Bushee, President of Brite-Strike. "One of the new products, the CYA(TM) Cover Your Assets(TM) Duty Light Camera, combines a small lightweight rechargeable duty light, with a hi-res 2GB video camera. With a selling price of $299, it could become standard-issue for every police officer in the country. This product allows an officer to covertly record any traffic stop, including DUI'S, along with domestic calls, drug-related offenses, and SWAT entries. The footage could be used as evidence, not only raising the percentage of convictions, but dramatically reducing the cost of litigation."
"The other new products were also met with a great deal of excitement," said Bushee. "We introduced the TOC, a Tactical Observation Camera, a complete observation camera kit for under $500, which will have a number of uses in the commercial sector, as well as with SWAT Teams.
"Our Tactical Balls® RID3, (patents pending) saw unprecedented demand due the very favorable review in the current issue of Tactical Response Magazine."
"We also continue to see very strong interest in our top-of the-line Tactical Blue-Dot(TM) tactical lights, which are true 'tactical lights' as they can be operated in all modes with only one finger on one hand, and never require any twisting or turning like most others on the market," said Mr. Bushee.
Based on dealer inputs, the Company expects 2009 sales to increase dramatically over the approximate 90% increase in 2008. The company anticipates its number of dealers to increase several fold over 2008 levels, expecting to pick up to 30 new dealers in the 1st quarter alone. The company is planning to make some significant new product introductions and patent announcements over the next few months.

VIASPACE CEO Issues Strategy Update

VIASPACE CEO Issues Strategy Update
PASADENA, Calif., Jan 21, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- DISCUSSES RECENT PROFITABLE BUSINESS ACQUISITION
VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC) CEO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen today provided an overview of the recently acquired profitable subsidiary Inter-Pacific Arts and how it fits into the overall VIASPACE business plans.
Dr. Kukkonen commented, "VIASPACE acquired Inter-Pacific Arts in late 2008. Inter-Pacific has a profitable ongoing business manufacturing and selling quality framed art in the wholesale market. Inter-Pacific also has a worldwide license to a fast growing grass known as China Giant King Grass that is suitable both as a feedstock for cellulosic biofuels and as an animal feed for cows, sheep, pigs, poultry and fish. 1.2 million grass seedlings were planted in late 2008, and land was leased for commercial growth in China."
"Two weeks ago, we completed the independent audit of Inter-Pacific. The results showed $5.4 million in revenue and $1.1 million in net profit in 2007, and $5 million in revenue and $1 million in net profit for the first nine months of 2008. VIASPACE will include Inter-Pacific revenue and net profits from the date of the acquisition in its future consolidated financial results. Inter-Pacific also has an unaudited cash and cash equivalents of $3 million as of December 31, 2008."
"We believe that the Inter-Pacific business will grow and continue to be profitable in 2009 and beyond. In the fourth quarter of 2008 and thus far in 2009, VIASPACE has significantly reduced its cash expenditures, sold its yet to be profitable security business, and reduced its debt burdens. The Company expects to be cash flow breakeven in 2009. VIASPACE will be focusing on its alternative energy businesses including grass for animal feed and biofuels as well as its direct methanol fuel cell business, and on the profitable framed art business. We are continuing our collaboration with Samsung on fuel cartridges for their direct methanol fuel cell product development."
"Inter-Pacific manufactures high-quality, custom designed framed art and ships to large US retailers. A key to Inter-Pacific's success in the US framed art market is that all of the art is high quality, and purchased in the US. All intellectual property royalties are properly paid - we have no counterfeit products. The art (including prints) are sent to Inter-Pacific's manufacturing facility in Guangzhou, China for custom matting and framing, and containers of framed art are sent directly to wholesalers, distributors and large retailers. Inter-Pacific has designers who work with the customers to choose the art, mattes and frames. Customers appreciate high-quality of the framing and clear plastic corner protectors that do not have to be removed for shelf display. Inter-Pacific also assures customers that it will not sell the same product design to any of its competitors."
The previous owner of Inter-Pacific is now a VIASPACE shareholder and has agreed to remain with the company to grow the framed art business.
Profits from the framed art business are reinvested into the grass business, which is expected to become the dominant source of revenue and income in 2010 or 2011. The Company has begun commercial farming of the ultra-fast-growing grass in China's Guangdong Province, a major manufacturing and agricultural center in southern China. The China Giant King Grass is a natural, non-genetically modified hybrid with many advantages over other grasses and crops used for feed. This perennial species can grow up to twelve feet high in sixty days, produce four crops per year in tropical and subtropical climates, and yield seven times more mass than corn. In addition to biofuels usage, the crops can be used to feed dairy cows, pigs, chickens, fish and other livestock.
Dr. Kukkonen continued: "While the high-yield grass will soon be used to produce biofuels including sustainable cellulosic ethanol, we have chosen to also focus on the immediate opportunity to grow and sell this product in China's livestock feed market which has a well established customer base, excellent profit margins, and consistent annual growth rate exceeding 15%. Therefore we do not have to wait until a cellulosic biofuels plant is constructed before we begin to profit from the grass business."
China's animal feed industry is valued at $40 billion and as population income rises it creates greater demand for meat products, reports Feed International, "Growth Areas in Global Feed Production," January 2008. Also, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics each person now consumes 5% more meat and 10% more milk annually than five years ago. China Daily reports the increasing consumption has created a corresponding spike in demand for feed to produce a growing population of pigs, cows and other livestock. Faced with increasing pressure on domestic supply, China imported approximately $4 billion in soybeans for food and feed in 2007 just released by the American Soybean Association in September 2008.
About VIASPACE (VSPC) -- Founded in 1998 with the objective of transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that solve today's complex problems, VIASPACE benefits from important patent and software licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. VIASPACE is committed to alternative energy and green technologies. For more information, please see or contact Dr. Jan Vandersande, Director of Communications, at 800-517-8050 or IR@VIASPACE.com.

Product Line to Debut Nearly a Year Ahead of Schedule
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Feb 03, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETNL.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand funeral products, today announced that it will begin selling its first line of youth caskets early in the second quarter of this year. Prototype production has already commenced.
"There is nothing more agonizing for a parent than burying a child, yet until now there have been no funerary products designed to reflect the child's life - everything has been very staid and stoic," said Clint Mytych, CEO, Eternal Image. "Our Precious Moments products will reflect the innocence and beauty of childhood and allow families to personalize how they say goodbye to their own precious young family member."
Due to demand from distributors and funeral homes, the line will launch about 10 months earlier than planned.
"Because we have been able to completely design and manufacture these products within the United States, we have been able to bring them to market far more quickly," added Mytych.
The line will include caskets that are gender specific and will be available in all traditional youth sizes.
About Eternal Image

Eternal Image and Major League Baseball(TM) Renew Licensing Agreement
Casket, Urn, Medallion, Monument and Vault Lines Continue to Grow
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Jan 27, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETNL.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand image funerary products, today announced that it has renewed its licensing agreement with Major League Baseball(TM) for another two years.
"The acceptance of our Major League Baseball product line has been all we could have hoped for," said Clint Mytych, president, Eternal Image. "The urns have sold well since the launch in early 2007. The first production run of caskets, which became available at the end of 2008, sold out within a week, and the medallions made a major splash at the National Funeral Directors Expo in October. Our next goal is to bring all 30 teams to market and to continue to expand our distribution through our recent national agreements with Wilbert Funeral Services and Church & Chapel Metal Arts."
The initial MLB(TM) urn and casket lines include twenty of the thirty teams. The balance of the team caskets will enter production in the next three to four months.
"Major League Baseball's licensing program has always been predicated on supporting what our fans want, and since these products are tastefully done, we're happy to put our stamp on them and help satisfy our fans' unique passion for baseball," said Howard Smith, Senior Vice President, Licensing, Major League Baseball. "Eternal Images has done a great job fulfilling our fans' desire to extend that passion into their last wishes, and we're glad to continue working with them."
For the two-day period of December 2 and 3, Eternal Image set a company sales order record due in part to the launch of the MLB caskets. EI filled pre-orders that had been on waiting lists since plans for the product line had been announced. The company then distributed nearly every casket left in inventory to funeral homes and distributors, resulting in a one-month sales total greater than the entire previous third quarter.

:thumbs: appy got oversold on news.
I'm holding some 50 different stocks right now. I look for 100% minimum, then sell half or dump all the shares. I've been on a couple nice rides, was holding dvax @.25, then in 1 day in december it jumped to over $1.00, sold 1/2... the next day it jumped over $2.00, then I dumped the rest. (was watching closely and was trailing stop loss)
NVD, I bought @.06, and within a week I sold them @ .40.
CCTYQ, I was in @.06, sold half @ .25, and I flipped that stock in 1 day in @.21 out at .40, last month.
ACTC bought multiple times @.025-.040, sold some @.08, and more @.25,.
I've been burned holding out for the 100% too, IBCIQ, I bought them @.03, now the stock disappeared, when it exited bk?
Many of my stocks are long termers, but I like to flip em too. Right now everyone is selling when they make a buck or 2, so it's tough to make good money unless you hold them long term.

VIASPACE Fuel Cartridge Powers SAMSUNG High-Performance Direct Methanol Fuel Cell for Military Applications
04/14/2009 @ 8:30AM
SAMSUNG Reveals New Military-Grade Fuel Cell in U.S. Army Performance Test
PASADENA, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), an alternative energy company providing products and technology for renewable and clean energy, announced that SAMSUNG, one of the world's leading electronics companies, revealed its new military-grade fuel cell--powered by a methanol fuel cartridge developed and delivered by VIASPACE Inc. -- in a press release and at the Korea Green Expo held last week in South Korea.
SAMSUNG also revealed that it has completed fuel cell performance tests for 72 hour operation with the U.S. Army's CERDEC (Communication Electronics Research and Development Engineering Center). Plans for mass production include fuel cells not only for military applications but expanding the platform to include mobile electronics, like notebook computers, and industrial equipment. SAMSUNG reported that Frost and Sullivan expects sales of military fuel cells to reach more than 100 million units for a market value of more than $580 million by 2013.
VIASPACE Chief Executive Carl Kukkonen remarked: "We're pleased with SAMSUNG's success and are continuing to work closely with their research and development staffs as they take further steps toward commercial production for both the military and consumer markets."
The fuel cartridge was developed by VIASPACE's fuel cell subsidiary, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (DMFCC), under a contract with SAMSUNG. Using VIASPACE's fuel cartridge full of liquid methanol, the fuel cell efficiently converts the methanol into electrical energy without burning. SAMSUNG's high efficiency military direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) system produces the same energy as batteries two to three times its weight at a cost-per-kilowatt-hour 50% to almost 98% lower than batteries. SAMSUNG's fuel cell may be operated in any orientation, a key requirement for military applications.
Kukkonen added: "Our clean energy business is focused on designing and manufacturing disposable fuel cartridges that supply methanol for fuel cells, which we feel will become a major source of power for electronic devices such as notebook computers and cell phones. Since a notebook computer powered by a fuel cell is projected to use approximately 100 fuel cartridges during its lifetime, we see our partnerships with Samsung and other companies as opportunities to develop a substantial base of recurring revenues.
Samsung's latest fuel cell prototype proves again that soldiers get the coolest toys
Back in 2006, a bright-eyed Samsung pledged a simple, methanol-powered dock that could power a laptop for a whole month, promised availability by the end of 2007, and then ran off to look for unicorns. Three years on an older, wiser Samsung is making some rather more modest statements about its latest generation of DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell), now set for release in 2010 -- only for the military. But, trendy requisition officers will have their choice of three colors: black, gold, or black. This 3.5 kilogram device is said to provide 1,800 watt-hours without a recharge, enough to power all a soldier's mil-spec gadgetry for three days. That's a far cry from the 30 days promised a few years back, but far better than the 10 kilograms of batteries you'd need otherwise. Want to get your hands on one of these? Start by heading to your local recruiter's office -- and don't mind the giant human microwave.

GoldSpring Announces the Results of Six Exploration Drill Holes That Include a 30 Foot Interval Grading 0.209 Ounces Per Ton Gol
GOLD HILL, Nev., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) is pleased to announce the results from six (6) exploration drill holes located one and a half miles southeast of the current GoldSpring's development resource area. Drill hole SV09-05 intersected multiple mineralized zones concealed beneath the pediment, including a thirty (30) feet zone of 0.209 ounces per ton gold and 0.992 ounces per ton silver starting at a depth of forty (40) feet. The southern exploration program was designed to demonstrate the potential to locate other valuable precious metals areas on GoldSpring property.
Jim Golden, GoldSpring's COO states, "Drill hole SV09-5 is a discovery hole as it intersects significant gold and silver mineralization that had no surface expression and was buried by pediment cover. This area will be targeted for additional exploration drilling to better define the mineral potential."
Drill hole SV09-5 is supported by the other five (5) drill holes listed in the table below. Each of the six (6) drill holes were positioned to teat a variety of surface geo-chemical anomalies and pediment covered areas. The multiple zones of gold mineralization identified will require additional exploration evaluation.

WaMu sues JPMorgan for return of $4 billion deposits
Tue Apr 28, 2009 10:54am
NEW YORK, April 28 (Reuters) - Washington Mutual Inc (WAMUQ.PK) has filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) seeking the return of more than $4 billion in cash deposits which it lost access to when its bank was sold last year.
Washington Mutual Bank was closed by the U.S. government in September, in the largest bank failure in U.S. history. Its banking assets were sold the same day to JPMorgan for $1.9 billion, and the parent holding company filed for bankruptcy protection a day later.
In a lawsuit filed late Monday in U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware, WaMu said that JPMorgan has "wrongfully withheld" more than $4 billion in cash that the parent company had on deposit at Washington Mutual Bank at the time of the acquisition.
WaMu said in the lawsuit that JPMorgan improperly claims it acquired the deposits as part of the takeover transaction, when they should have been treated like any other deposit at the bank.
"The cornerstone of the agreement by which JPMC acquired the assets was that all Bank depositors would have immediate and ready access to their cash on deposit," WaMu said in the lawsuit.
WaMu said it needs access to that cash to come up with its Chapter 11 plan, and that by withholding the deposits, JPMorgan could be earning as much as $200 million per year in interest on those deposits.
A JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman in Chicago declined to comment on the lawsuit, saying "we do not comment on ongoing litigation."
The lawsuit was filed as an adversary proceeding to WaMu's main bankruptcy case. The bankruptcy case is In re: Washington Mutual, Inc. U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No. 08-12229.
