Tech Stock Trading Alert: Elephant Talk Communications (OTCBB: ETAK) -- "Securing the Mobile Cloud"

Point Roberts WA, New York, New York- June 6, 2011, Investorideas.com, a leader in sector stock research features a tech stock alert for Elephant Talk Communications (OTCBB: ETAK), an international provider of business software and services to the telecommunications and financial services industries. Shares of ETAK jumped in Thursday’s and Friday’s trading on higher than average volume.
It’s notable that ETAK reported bullish hiring news on June 2, “Elephant Talk Communications Hires HR Pro to Manage Worldwide Hiring Growth”, during the same week that US job data was significantly lower than expected.

Elephant Talk is one of the top recommendations in Josh Levine’s Microcap Investor Newsletter.
Highlights from Josh Levine's recent commentary on ETAK:
Levine described Elephant Talk's business model as "Securing the Mobile Cloud." He noted that Elephant Talk intends to manage the mobile cloud, or mobile Internet, to provide access to mobile networks for businesses around the global that are non-telecom, non-tech companies but have huge customer databases. Such companies do not want to invest in IT and telecom infrastructure such as antennas and spectrum, but will look to companies such as Elephant Talk to reach their customers and stakeholders, Levine said.
Levine noted that ValidSoft has advanced its business through its arrangement with Visa Europe and other financial institutions with its fraud-prevention solutions. Levine pointed out that Visa Europe and its 4,000 member banks handle 28 billion transactions a year.
ValidSoft's suite of advanced telecom-based solutions enables banks and other financial institutions to secure all transaction channels, is relatively inexpensive to implement, and is invisible to the customer while maintaining customer privacy, Levine said. ValidSoft has been awarded the European Privacy Seal, he noted.
What makes ValidSoft's solution so revolutionary is that it uses an out-of-band approach, according to Levine. This means that if you want to check or validate what is happening on one network (i.e., Internet), you need another, completely independent network (i.e., mobile) to verify what is happening on the first network.
Additionally, ValidSoft has the world's first commercially available four-factor authentication solution utilizing a single integrated platform. This guarantees a level of security that no competitor can even remotely match today, Levine said.
In pilot programs in the U.K. and Australia, ValidSoft's technology has demonstrated that it reduces transaction false positives from an industry average of 90% to virtually none, Levine said.
Levine also pointed out the significance of Elephant Talk and ValidSoft's strategy of positioning their services in the mobile cloud. As mobile phones are adopted by larger populations, especially where many "unbanked" communities rely on such a device for the transfer and receipt of funds, the mobile or smart phone will rapidly become the dominant form of electronic payment. Levine added that ValidSoft's technology also can provide security to a wide range of transactions in the mobile cloud beyond financial services to include health monitoring, among others.
For the fast-emerging arena of near-field communications (NFC) mobile payments, or the Digital Wallet, Levine said ValidSoft is ideally situated to address privacy and security issues relating to smart phones. The fact is, he said, ValidSoft's technologies were developed for this method and the company had long anticipated that NFC would be the future for transactions. The challenge was to develop a solution within the boundaries that respected the laws and regulations of privacy and data integrity. ValidSoft has succeeded in doing this due primarily to its out-of-band approach, which is now far ahead of competitors, Levine said.

Mining and Gold Stocks News; LOMIKO (TSX-V: LMR; OTC: LMRMF) ESTABLISHES EXPLORATION CAMP AT VINES LAKE GOLD PROJECT

Vancouver - June 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com mining stocks newswire) – LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX-V:LMR, OTC: LMRMF, Europe: ISIN: CA54163Q1028, WKN: A0Q9W7,) ("Lomiko" or "the Company) Exploration Manager Lesley Hunt has reports that Lomiko has established an exploration camp to coordinate activities related to the summer exploration program at Vines Lake. Lomiko holds the rights to three contiguous mineral tenures, totaling 1,169 Ha (2,888 Acres) located in the southwestern corner of the Cassiar Gold District or ‘Cassiar Gold Camp'. Exploration activities are to commence in June, 2011 and continue until September, 2011.
This program is designed to target both potentially high-grade gold vein systems, as seen at the adjacent Table Mountain Mine, in addition to the prospect of intrusion related mineralization. Phase I of the program is targeted to begin as soon as weather and snow conditions permit. Phase II will explore follow-up targets resulting from the geological mapping, geochemical and ground geophysical surveys resulting from Phase I.
Due to the property's close proximity to formerly producing mines with a proven history in the Cassiar Mining Camp, it is the opinion of the company that potential exists on the 100% owned Vines Lake Property for discovering new high-grade gold vein systems. Also, there is a potential for other intrusion related mineralization in proximity to the Cassiar Batholith and its associated boundary contacts, over which Lomiko's Vines Lake property claims are located.
Cassiar Area Highlights:
  • A new company with Chinese investors known as China Minerals Mining Corporation is located adjacent to the property.
  • A fully permitted 270 tonne per day, gravity and flotation mill, power plant, assay laboratory and tailings impoundment facility is owned by China Minerals.
  • Approximately 316,000 ounces of gold have been produced at the adjacent Table Mountain Mine from 1979-2007 under various companies.
  • Current Resource Estimates for the Table Mountain Mine are 21,471 tonnes grading 18.02 g/t indicated and 65,757 tonnes grading 24.3 g/t inferred were reported at the adjacent property in the May, 2010 NI43-101 Technical Report on the Table Mountain Property by C. Pearson and F.J. Bakker.
Vines Lake Highlights:
  • Two significant anomalies have been identified by geophysical surveys.The claims cover formations of the Sylvester group, which are known to contain productive zones of gold mineralization in the area.
  • The Vines Lake Property is located approximately two kilometres southwest of the former Erickson gold mine.
  • Highway 37 N bisects the property north to south providing excellent access.
Mr. Garth Kirkham, P.Geo is a Director of Lomiko Metals Inc. in addition to being the Qualified Person for the Vines Lake Project and has reviewed the technical data in this news release.

Biotech and Pharma News; BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX) Announces Lifting of Clinical Hold on GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine

CHICAGO - June 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX) today announced that the FDA's clinical hold on the GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine (GVAX Prostate) for the treatment of prostate cancer has been lifted by FDA. Manufacturing of new GVAX Prostate is complete, and planning for a Phase II clinical trial at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center is underway.
BioSante funded the manufacturing of GVAX Prostate, and the trial will be supported in part by the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Important start-up funding for this study was provided by the OneInSix Foundation.
"The Prostate Cancer Foundation funded the early work at Johns Hopkins University that resulted in the development of the GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine. We are pleased to continue support of Dr. Charles Drake and his innovative clinical and laboratory investigations of GVAX at Hopkins," said Howard R. Soule, PhD, executive vice president and chief science officer of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "We are delighted that the OneInSix Foundation has joined in support of this important prostate cancer program. Under BioSante leadership we are hopeful that GVAX Prostate will be established as a new treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer."
"We are pleased to be working with Johns Hopkins as well as the Foundations on such an important project," said Stephen M. Simes, BioSante's president and chief executive officer. "A joint effort among the various parties involved has resulted in the FDA lifting the GVAX Prostate clinical hold which is a positive step for development of a new prostate cancer vaccine and the men who may benefit. Now that the FDA has approved the first-ever therapeutic cancer vaccine, Provenge, for the treatment of prostate cancer, we have renewed confidence that GVAX Prostate can be a valuable addition to prostate cancer patient care."
Unlike the recently approved Provenge for the treatment of prostate cancer, which requires isolation of cells from the patient that are then modified to produce the vaccine which is then re-introduced into the patient, GVAX Prostate is an off-the-shelf, non-patient-specific vaccine. It is comprised of prostate cancer cells that have been modified to secrete GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), an immune stimulatory cytokine, and then irradiated for safety. GVAX Prostate will be administered via intradermal injections on an outpatient basis. To date, over 1,000 patients have been treated in clinical trials with BioSante cancer vaccines for various types of cancer. Although Phase III trials in prostate cancer were discontinued in 2008, development of GVAX Prostate has been reinitiated in view of the great need among men with prostate cancer and the lessons learned using the vaccine in previous clinical trials.
In addition to GVAX Prostate, BioSante has several other cancer vaccines which are in Phase II clinical development including vaccines for leukemia, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Also, BioSante has applied for and received four FDA Orphan Drug designations for cancer vaccines to treat acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, pancreatic cancer and melanoma.
About the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world's largest philanthropic source of support for accelerating the world's most promising research for discovering better treatments and cures for prostate cancer. Founded in 1993, the PCF has raised nearly $450 million and provided funding to more than 1,500 researchers at nearly 200 institutions worldwide. PCF advocates for greater awareness of prostate cancer and more efficient investment of governmental research funds for transformational cancer research. Its efforts have helped produce a 20-fold increase in government funding for prostate cancer. More information about the PCF can be found at www.pcf.org.
About the OneInSix Foundation
The OneInSix Foundation is so-named because one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. This charitable organization was founded by the late Mr. Bruce Hunsicker, an attorney from Akron, Ohio who dedicated his time and effort to raising funds for prostate cancer research and awareness.
About BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
BioSante is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for female sexual health and oncology. BioSante's lead products include LibiGel® (transdermal testosterone gel) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) which is in Phase III clinical development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment. BioSante also is developing a portfolio of cancer vaccines, four of which have been granted Orphan Drug designation, and are currently in several Phase II clinical trials.

  • 79% of people treated for the first time achieved a SVR (viral cure) with INCIVEK combination treatment-
  • Vertex launches a comprehensive financial assistance and patient support program-
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-May 23, 2011, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq:VRTX ) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved INCIVEK™ (telaprevir) tablets for a broad group of people with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C with compensated liver disease (some level of damage to the liver but the liver still functions), including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). INCIVEK (in-SEE-veck) is approved for people who are new to treatment, and for people who were treated previously but who did not achieve a viral cure (relapsers, partial responders and null responders). INCIVEK is given for 12 weeks in combination with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin, two other medicines approved to treat hepatitis C. After the first 12 weeks, all patients stop receiving INCIVEK and continue treatment with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin alone for an additional 12 weeks or 36 weeks of treatment.

At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® in India as we advance our clinical strategies in the United States and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:
  1. Cancer: A treatment candidate to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies by removing immunosuppressive exosomes from circulation.
  2. Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV): As an adjunct therapy to accelerate viral load reduction at the outset of standard of care drug regimens.
  3. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Provides a potential therapeutic option for HIV-infected individuals to manage disease progression once they become resistant to antiviral drug regimens.
  4. Bioterror and Pandemic Threats: Represents the most advanced broad-spectrum strategy to address untreatable bioterror and emerging pandemic threats.
The Hemopurifier® is an expansive multi-patented platform technology whose mechanism of action can be leveraged to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, and biomarker discovery solutions. As a therapeutic, the Hemopurifier® is a single-use disposable cartridge designed for implementation within the established infrastructure of dialysis machines and other blood circulatory pumps already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy.

Water Stocks News; Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) Announces H2Omaxx Compatibility with Reverse Osmosis to Broaden Market Horizons



CALGARY - June 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com Water Stocks Newswire) - Wescorp Energy Inc. (Wescorp) (OTCBB:WSCE.ob), a clean water technology company focused on implementing cost-effective solutions into several markets, including the oil and gas and marine industries, announced today that the second generation 10,000 barrel per day (bpd) H2Omaxx when paired with a reverse osmosis (RO) unit achieves high standards of water decontamination required for surface water discharge.

"Based on the demonstration, the capability of the H2Omaxx to efficiently remove the hydrocarbons and suspended solids from water contaminated with a wide range of contaminates is a significant benefit for clients that need the highest standards of water cleaning and water quality" stated Vern Graham, Vice-President of Formation Fluid Technologies Inc, owner of the advanced membrane technology process used in the test. "Membrane technology has powerful water cleaning capability for a wide range of contaminants, but its capability can be impaired, and often made uneconomical as a solution for clients, by the presence of hydrocarbons and/or suspended solids in the water needing treatment. By working with the H2Omaxx technology, we are able to deliver to the customer a mobile, compact, on-site treatment system that provides the customer with the option to avoid trucking large volumes of contaminated water to expensive off-site treatment facilities".The water from an industrial site contains a wide range of contaminants, including hydrocarbons, dissolved metals and suspended solids. The objective was to enable the client to be able to treat the contaminated water on-site, and to meet stringent surface water quality standards. Achieving these standards means that the water can be safely discharged into rivers, lakes and harbours, rather than being hauled away for remote treatment as hazardous fluids. The Canadian Hazardous Waste Removal (HWR) and Contaminated Site Regulation (CSR) standards and the Province of British Columbia Contaminated Site Regulations were applied in defining the trial results.
Wescorp wanted to determine if the H2Omaxx could be combined with other technologies to provide a clean water technology solution for a customer base beyond the oil and gas industry. The H2Omaxx technology has proven to clean contaminated oil field produced water that includes hydrocarbons, paraffin and waxes. Suspended solids, including sand, metal fragments and other particulate matter, can also be removed. The water remediation challenges faced by the oil and gas industry are not unique and exist in other industries.
"We have now demonstrated that there is another treatment option for complex contaminated water challenges faced by industrial sites. Industries that have a need to return their used water to the environment can now look to Wescorp's H2Omaxx technology coupled with RO technology for a scalable, mobile solution that will facilitate on-site water treatment," said Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp's Board. "With increasing regulatory and economic pressure to reclaim industrial waste water, Wescorp has been approached by industrial and environmental remediation companies interested in utilizing the H2Omaxx technology. Wescorp will explore these opportunities further in the coming months."
Third party sampling of the water before and after treatment, and reporting of the analytical results, was conducted by a national environmental consulting firm hired by the industrial customer directly.
