Big Volume and Gain for Enterologics (OTC:ELGO)

Naples, FL 5/20/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- Enterologics, Inc. (OTC:ELGO) announced yesterday, in a press release, that it has teamed with Universal Stabilization Technologies, Inc. ("UST") to produce a new, shelf-stable formulation of a probiotic based on UST's proprietary technology. Enterologics is funding the development program, in which UST will optimize a pharmaceutical-grade probiotic dosage form with extended shelf-life and viability at ambient temperatures.

"UST's vitrification technology represents a significant advance for preserving the viability of probiotics in a convenient oral dosage form," said Enterologics' president, Bob Hoerr. "We believe that this proprietary, shelf-stable dosage form will enable us to meet a key goal in our commercialization program to develop probiotic products as approved biologic drugs for gastrointestinal diseases."

Victor Bronshtein, Ph.D., president and founder of UST, stated, "Based on our research, our proprietary dosage format should enable probiotics to meet ambient (from -20°C to + 37°C) temperature shelf-life standards for a pharmaceutical product. Probiotics that are proven thermostable will ensure the confidence of patients and prescribing physicians that a product provides the number of live probiotic bacteria listed on the label, not merely at the time of manufacture, but at the time of use. Demonstrated probiotic potency at the time of use is critical for defining an accurate therapeutic dose for targeted diseases. This is not the case for many probiotic products now marketed through consumer channels."

In January, UST granted Enterologics a right of first refusal for 16 months to enter into a definitive, exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide license agreement for UST's intellectual property in the field of preservation or stabilization of Escherichia coli ("E. coli") probiotic bacteria. As planned, Enterologics has initiated funding for a development project to show that UST's stabilization technology can produce a thermostable, commercially viable formulation of an E. coli probiotic that satisfies the Company's specifications.

Enterologics is a biotechnology company that is developing probiotics as biologic drugs for specific gastrointestinal disease indications.

Pulse Beverage (PLSB.OB) Targeting Whole Foods

Oxford, MS 5/20/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- The Pulse Beverage Corporation (OTC:PLSB) recently announced, in a press release, the launch of Cabana Lemonades by Pulse, a line-up of refreshing, all-natural, "good-for-you," ready-to-drink lemonades in five distinct and great tasting flavors, offering significantly reduced calories without the use of artificial sweeteners or colouring.

Cabana Lemonades offer approximately 40% less calories than its competitors and are positioned to enter the market as the only All-Natural Lemonade brand. The fact that Pulse's Cabana Lemonades contain no preservatives or artificial sweeteners means that they can be sold in health food stores such as Whole Foods, GNC Live Well, Vitamin Cottage and Sunflower.

Pulse's CEO, Robert E. Yates, comments "Nationally, only a handful of companies market ready-to-drink lemonades and there are only two major brands, AriZona and Calypso, and a few other brands, such as Country Time Lemonade, none of which contain 100% natural ingredients. Our premium lemonades will be packaged in eye-catching 20 fl. oz. glass bottles and the combination of superior product and packaging will readily position us to successfully penetrate the market. We will have our Cabana Lemonades on the shelves in July, 2011, just in time for the summer lemonade season. This is perfect timing to announce details of our lemonade product launch considering it's National Lemonade Day on May 22nd. We are in discussions with the organizers of the event and are preparing to help out in a major way."

Pulse intends to position its Cabana Lemonades as natural complements to food in an effort to broaden their appeal and insulate against any seasonal fall-off. Pulse believes that Cabana Lemonades are the refreshing and healthy beverage choice for any occasion and any season.

Pulse has contracted its first bottling facility and aims to start production of its lemonade products in June 2011. The lemonade market is well established and there's an immediate demand. Pulse's Cabana Lemonades, being all-natural, lower calorie, and "good-for-you," are in-line with its corporate mission to reach a large demographic by aiming to be the healthiest, all-natural lemonade in the marketplace.

The Pulse Beverage Corporation manufactures, distributes and markets the PULSE brand of NutriPurpose beverages originally developed by a major healthcare company and containing effective ingredients widely considered to be critical to adult health.

Linkedin Making Waves

Tomahawk, WI 5/19/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- There was an unmistakable echo of the dot-com boom Thursday on Wall Street.

LinkedIn, a trailblazer in the online networking craze, went public with a roaring stock offering. Within minutes, shares were trading at twice the value set by the company.

Buyers crowded the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and financial news networks flashed LinkedIn's stock price urgently all day. By the closing bell, the company had a market value of $9 billion, the highest for any Internet company since Google had its initial public offering seven years ago. Millionaires and even one billionaire were made, at least on paper.

The stock, issued at $45, went as high as $122.70 just before noon and closed at $94.25 on a trading volume of 30 million shares. All this for a company that skeptics say amounts to an online Rolodex, a place on the Internet for professionals to post resumes and connect with one another and potential employers.

It was enough to remind some people on Wall Street of the heady late 1990s and the debuts of companies like Netscape Communications -- and, more infamously, long-forgotten names like Pets.com and Webvan. Investors wondered whether LinkedIn will be a precursor to another financial frenzy in Silicon Valley.

"I definitely think this will be a catalyst," said longtime technology investor and analyst Michael Moe, CEO of Global Silicon Valley Asset Management. "Investors who like growth stocks have been stuck in a desert for a long time, and now it's like they have found this great pitcher of water."

LinkedIn is already worth $9 billion, or 18 times its projected revenue this year. Major Internet companies, including Google, trade at an average of about five times projected revenue, according to an analysis by Capital IQ.

Good News and Volume for Brainy Brands (OTC:TBBC)

Oxford, MS 5/19/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- The Brainy Brands Company, Inc. (OTC:TBBC), a producer and marketer of the Brainy Baby line of children’s educational videos and products aimed at early development for preschoolers, today announced, in a press release, that a recent study, published in the November 2010 issue of the Journal of Children and Media (JOCAM), stated that children between the ages of 18 and 33 months were better able to identify a unique shape in a book after repeatedly viewing a 10-minute Brainy Baby video.

The peer-reviewed study, entitled “A US Study of Transfer of Learning from Video to Books in Toddlers,” confirmed the ability of infants and toddlers to learn from Brainy Baby’s “Shapes & Colors” video. The study was conducted at the University of Texas, Austin and parents were asked to show toddlers a 10-minute video clip at least once a day for 15 days. This was one of the first studies to use commercial video content to assess toddler learning, as well as one of the first to examine the transfer of learning to a different context, in this case a book.

Research showed that children were able to learn a unique shape from an excerpt of the Brainy Baby “Shapes & Colors” video and then identify it in a book. The children in the experimental group were 22 times more likely to identify the shape -- a crescent -- than the children in the control group who did not view the crescent portion of the video. In addition, the study indicated that videos could be used in the same way as books to expand knowledge.

“Having this study conducted at the University of Texas by two of the leading research scientists in the field of children’s media studies, reaffirms our core methodology of developing Brainy Baby products,” said John Benfield, CEO of The Brainy Brands Company. “The study reinforces our message to parents and grandparents around the world…. give your children the tools, spend quality time engaged with your children using those tools and they will develop a love of learning that will last for a lifetime.”

Headquartered in Suwanee, GA The Brainy Brands Company, Inc. develops and markets an extensive library of early childhood learning products, including a full range of puzzles, books, games, toys and audio-visual materials for the US market and international marketplace. The Company’s strategy is to support its existing line of high quality educational toys, media, and activities and develop new product and offerings optimizing new technologies, delivery systems, and advances in early childhood education.

Latino Facebook Quepasa (QPSA) Reports $2.2M Revenue

Oxford, MS 5/19/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- Quepasa.com, the popular online social network and game platform for the Latino community operated by Quepasa Corporation (AMEX:QPSA), recently reported, in a press release, results for its first fiscal quarter of 2011 ended March 31, 2011.

Revenues for the quarter totaled $2.2 million, a sequential increase of 21% from the prior quarter's revenues of $1.9 million, and up nearly 600% from $322 thousand in the first quarter of 2010. These revenues were primarily related party DSM.

Net loss for the first quarter 2011 was $1.5 million or 10 cents per basic and diluted share. This was a sequential improvement from a net loss of $1.8 million or 13 cents per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter, and a significant improvement from the net loss of $2.7 million or 21 cents per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $12.3 million at March 31, 2011, from $13.5 million at December 31, 2010, but increased from $0.6 million at March 31, 2010. The sequential decline is primarily the result of cash usage associated with the acquisition of XtFt and its initial operations developing games, while the year-over-year increase is predominantly the result of the proceeds received from our December 2010 stock offering.

"We are very pleased with the business development execution shown in the first quarter of 2011," said John C. Abbott, CEO of Quepasa. "We have taken steps to expand monetization opportunities through strategic partnerships in payment processing. We have expanded the number of resellers promoting Quepasa DSM, our social advertising and contest platform. Additionally, through our acquisition of Brazilian social game development studio XtFt, we have launched our first social gaming title, Wonderful City - Rio, on Quepasa.com as well as on Google's Orkut, and will soon be offering it on Facebook."

"On the corporate side, Quepasa shares began trading on the NYSE Amex in January, and we strengthened our Board with the appointment of Lars Batista, who brings significant experience in both social gaming and the broader Brazilian technology market," said Abbott. "During the remainder of 2011, we look forward to building our social game audience on Quepasa, Orkut and Facebook in connection with Wonderful City - Rio and other titles, scaling our DSM technology platform, and driving ongoing improvements to user retention on Quepasa.com by optimizing our core user experience and continuing to enhance it with relevant applications, games and contests."

Japan in Recession

Dallas, TX 5/19/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- Japan’s economy shrank more than estimated in the first quarter after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disrupted production and prompted consumers to cut back spending, sending the nation to its third recession in a decade.

Gross domestic product contracted an annualized 3.7 percent in the three months through March, following a revised 3 percent drop in the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said today in Tokyo. The median forecast of 23 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 1.9 percent drop.

The March disaster hit an economy already weighed down by years of deflation and subdued consumer spending, and slashed profits at companies including Toyota Motor Corp. as factories were shut. The economy, now the smallest size since 1991 unadjusted for price changes, may shrink further this quarter before rebounding later in 2011 as reconstruction kicks in.

“The contraction in the second quarter will probably be even bigger as consumer spending and exports slump,” said Norio Miyagawa, senior economist at Mizuho Securities Research and Consulting Co. in Tokyo. “The economy will likely return to growth from the third quarter once the supply-chain disruption eases and reconstruction work begins.”

The Nikkei 225 (NKY) Stock Average fell 0.4 percent today on the worse-than-expected GDP data. The Nikkei has lost 8 percent since the quake and tsunami, which left more than 24,000 dead or missing. The yen traded at 81.70 against the dollar at 3:48 p.m. in Tokyo, compared with 81.69 before the report was published.

‘Temporary Phenomenon’

The economic contraction may only be a “temporary phenomenon,” and two straight quarters of shrinkage “doesn’t necessarily mean the economy’s trajectory has changed,” Kaoru Yosano, the economy minister, told reporters today.

Economists typically define a recession as two consecutive quarters of contraction. The Japanese government instead determines recessions by having a committee of academics decide when recoveries and retreats begin and end.

The revised fourth quarter GDP figure showing a 3 percent annualized contraction was more than double the previous estimate, after the government revised data going back to 1980, according to the Cabinet Office.

Capital investment dropped 0.9 percent in the first quarter, the first decline in six quarters, today’s data showed.

Will Apple Stick with Intel

Chicago, IL 5/18/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- Trend-setting products launched by Apple Inc (Nasdaq:AAPL) are a key factor in Intel Corp's (Nasdaq:INTC) plans for new processors, a senior executive of the world's top chipmaker said.

Tom Kilroy, a senior vice president at Intel, told the Reuters Global Technology Summit in New York on Wednesday that the runaway success of the iPad and other Apple products shapes how Intel thinks about future devices and the chips that will power them.

"We work very closely with them and we're constantly looking down the road at what we can be doing relative to future products. I'd go as far as to say Apple helps shape our roadmap," Kilroy said.

"Apple -- they push us hard," he said.

Apple designed its own processors for the iPhone and iPad using technology licensed from Britain's ARM Holdings (LSE:ARM.L), widely used in the mobile market.

But in its high-end MacBook PCs, which set the tone for other computer manufacturers, Apple uses powerful Intel chips. Kilroy played down suggestions that ARM processors could eventually unseat the world's top chipmaker in those premium PCs.

"Go look at the performance of those platforms. They're taking our latest and high-end end versions of second-generation core, and ARM doesn't even come close to any capability there," he said.

Kilroy would not specifically confirm whether Intel has been guaranteed a place in future MacBooks, saying that kind of announcement would be up to Apple.

Inclusion in an Apple product is seen as a major coup for electronics suppliers, given the technology icon's reputation for quality and innovation. The big sales volume of Apple products also means major revenue for component sellers.

While its processors are the brains in 80 percent of the world's PCs, Intel has struggled to adapt its chips to work well in mobile gadgets.

Texas Instruments (NYSE:TXN), Samsung (005930.KS) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq:QCOM) are major players in smartphones and tablets, using ARM's technology to make processors more energy-efficient -- a key requirement for mobile devices that depend on batteries.

The market for mobile chips is still tiny compared with Intel's PC processor business, but investors expect it to grow quickly and the Santa Clara, California, company is racing to use its massive lead in manufacturing technology to catch up.

Meanwhile, Intel's core PC market is being shaken up, with long-time bedfellow Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT) planning to make future versions of its Windows operating system compatible with ARM chips, and with manufacturers launching laptops running on Google's (Nasdaq:GOOG) new Chrome operating system.

Samsung and Acer (Taiwan:2353.TW) are using Intel's Atom chips to make laptops outfitted with Chrome, which is essentially a web browser that steers users to use applications like email and spreadsheets directly on the web, instead of storing software such as Outlook or Word directly on PCs.

"There's a lot of experimentation that goes on and we'll see how it plays out. We're eager to understand what usage models become popular," Kilroy said. "We're just happy we're the architecture of choice."

UnionTown (OTC:UTOG) Purchases Montana Property

Shawshank, VA 5/18/2011 (PennyPayDay) -- UnionTown Energy Inc. (OTC:UTOG) announced yesterday, in a press release, that it has advanced an additional $175,000 in trust towards the close of its previously announced acquisition of the Teton River property. Teton River is an 11,000-acre oil and gas property located in northwest Montana.

UnionTown has now advanced a total of $275,000, representing the full purchase price of the property, towards the completion of the acquisition.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, UnionTown is required to spend an additional $1,000,000 within the next 12 months on development of the property. In return, the company will receive an 85% working interest before payout, followed by a 70% working interest after payout. The Teton River property carries a 75% net revenue interest.

"Oil exploration and development has reached an exciting stage in northwest Montana, and we consider Teton River to be a high-potential acquisition based on the production history in nearby oil fields and the well records of previous wells drilled on the property," said UnionTown President and CEO Darren Stevenson. "Moreover, Teton River is a heavy oil play, and with heavy oil currently selling for more than $US90 per barrel, we believe there is a great opportunity in developing this promising oil prospect."

Teton River is the fourth acquisition that UnionTown has undertaken in the last two months. When Teton River is combined with the three previously announced properties -- Musselshell, New Miami and Darby Block -- the total acreage under contract now exceeds 43,000. The Company believes that the Teton River geological report, which is close to completion, will significantly add to the company's estimated reserves.
