China Shuangji Cement Ltd. (OTCBB: CNSj) (February 5, 2008) announced a corporate update and an action plan for this quarter.

"The change to our corporate name and ticker symbol on November 9, 2007 marks a new direction for the Company," said China Shuangji Chairman and President Wenji Song.

China Shuangji expects to receive the audited financial statements of Shandong Zhaoyuan Shuangji Group Co., Ltd. ("SZSG") and contemplates filing the necessary Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a series of contractual agreements with SZSG, a domestic company registered in the People's Republic of China which is engaged in the business of manufacturing of cement products.

Mr. Song further stated, "I believe that each company has undeveloped endless potential. Looking ahead, our Company faces valuable developmental opportunities, along with many difficulties and challenges. We will execute the development strategies already approved, on the basis of the strengthening cement industry, to implement brand name effectiveness, and to expand in both the domestic and international markets. Our focus will be on leveraging the Company's strengths and stepping up business development, in order to provide the best products to our customers and as well to make Shuangji a large-scale international corporation. The Company is in the new historic development stage.

We will continue to do what is necessary to establish strong corporate governance, in order to protect the interests of the Company and all shareholders. With the support of all our shareholders, and the combined efforts of the Board of Directors, management and staff, I firmly believe that Shuangji is blessed with a very promising future."

Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets: RQST) (February 7, 2008) has consulted numerous top senior geologists in an effort to better evaluate their concession. The search has been exhausting, and has been narrowed down to three leading firms. As per company policy, Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. will commence the final tendering process for said contract.

The sampling methods, sample shipment, preparation, and data entry will follow the established, stringent guidelines of international exploration under the supervision of a Qualified Person / Senior Geologist, and meet the guidelines for 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects report requirements

Royal Acquisitions and Development, Inc. C.E.O., Richard Cartagena stated the following, "We are aggressively moving forward on our business plan, and the hiring of a top senior geologist lends further credibility to our concession plus allows us to proceed on the development of our concession. We feel 2008 has been a good year to start but there is tireless work ahead, our team is committed."

Our Concession

The RQST land claim lies wholly in Sahuaripa County, Sonora, Mexico. According to el Imparcial (the predominate regional newspaper of Sonora), the gold production in Sahuaripa County alone will be roughly 4.65 tons of gold this year. As an example, the Mulatos mine provided in the first quarter of 2006 22,680 ounces of gold, the Dolores mine reported in the first quarter of 2006 3,000,000 ounces of gold and 149,000,000 ounces of silver, and the El Sauzal mine has recorded gold reserves of nearly 2,000,000 ounces.

Further, the upward trend in neighboring mining reporting data, lends sufficiency to the preliminary RQST assays. The RQST property neighbors such rich mining sites as Mulatos of Alamos Gold (TSX.AGI) to the North, Dolores of Minefinders (TSX.MFL) to the East, and El Sauzal of Glamis Gold/Goldcorp (TSX.G) to the South and lends credence and raises expectations that the RQST property has enormous potential that at least meets the proven reserves of these well documented neighboring gold mines.

Valence Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLNC) (February 7, 2008) announced it has entered into a contract with The Tanfield Group Plc (LSE: TAN) to manufacture and supply safe, Lithium Phosphate energy storage systems to power zero emission, all-electric commercial delivery vehicles. The Valence battery systems will be installed in leading-edge vans and trucks produced by Tanfield's UK-based trading division, Smith Electric Vehicles, the world's largest manufacturer of electric vans and trucks.

Under the agreement, Tanfield will purchase up to $70 million of Valence products in the contract's first phase and Valence has already received a firm purchase order for the first calendar quarter.

The agreement will also result in Tanfield becoming the first volume customer for Valence's third generation Lithium Phosphate Epoch technology, a battery system equipped with an advanced management system that monitors and automatically adjusts cell performance so battery packs operate at their optimum performance capacity. Epoch benefits include a fail-soft capability that is designed to eliminate system failure caused by a single cell and to have a life cycle comprised of more than 2000 charge cycles when deep discharged in demanding electric vehicle applications.

"The Valence Epoch System which we introduced at the December 2007 EVS-23 show has the potential to move the industry closer to the tipping point when EVs and plug-in HEVs will be broadly adopted and deployed," said Robert L. Kanode, president and CEO of Valence. "We believe that Valence is the first Lithium Phosphate battery producer to have the sourcing and manufacturing capability and start-to-finish infrastructure to immediately ship safe, reliable, Lithium Phosphate energy storage systems in the quantities demanded by the electric vehicle market. For the past six months we have been working to scale up our proven operational capabilities to meet anticipated demand."

Darren Kell, Chief Executive of The Tanfield Group Plc, said "We are constantly looking for new, cost-effective technologies that can improve our zero emission commercial electric vehicles and broaden our customer base. The Valence battery pack is an efficient, inherently robust and reliable system that gives us greatly increased flexibility in vehicle design."

Tanfield launched the first of its new generation of Smith zero-emission commercial vehicles in December 2006 and has quickly developed a wide customer portfolio across the UK and mainland Europe, including Sainsbury's Online, the Royal Mail, TNT Express, Carlsberg, Balfour Beatty, Amey Construction and DHL Exel Supply Chain.

Smith launched its first United States-specific vehicle at EVS-23 in California in December 2007.

CytoCore Inc. (OTCBB: CYOE) (February 5, 2008), the biopharmaceutical research and medical device company for early detection and treatment of reproductive-tract cancers, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the company's 510(k) submission to sell CytoCore's SoftPAP cervical cell collector. The SoftPAP collects more comprehensive and complete cervical cell specimens for Pap testing.

"CytoCore's SoftPAP cervical cell collector is a significant advance in women's health," says Robert McCullough, Jr., CytoCore's CEO. "Each year, over 2 million American women are told that their Pap test was negative when, in fact, they have early stage cervical cancer. These false negatives are frequently caused by an inadequate or incomplete sample of cervical cells. SoftPAP collects complete specimens from the cervical canal, the cervical surface and the transition zone simultaneously. There is evidence that the use of SoftPAP significantly reduces the rate of false negative Pap tests leading to earlier treatment of cervical cancer."

"Studies also demonstrate that the most common adverse events that occur during the collection of the specimen are virtually eliminated with the SoftPAP," according to Dr. Richard Domanik, President and COO. "Studies involving more than 400 cervical cell collections show a 95% reduction in bleeding and spotting which are the most frequently reported adverse events associated with collection of specimens for Pap testing."

"FDA clearance enables us to become a truly global company," says Dan McMahon, Director of Marketing. "We have been selling SoftPAP in Europe for the past few months and are negotiating distribution agreements in Latin America as well. We are in the final stages of completing the North American distribution organization and expect to be able to launch the product in the United States by the end of the first quarter."

Although Purple has been available in select stores nationwide since the product launched in 2007, our goal has always been to bring this all-natural, healthy and fun beverage to consumers everywhere. Teaming with M&S USA means that Purple will now be as close to many consumers as the shelves of their neighborhood grocery store."

IDM Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDMI) (February 4,2008) on Monday announced the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) has published findings from the Phase 3 mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE) clinical trial (INT-0133), entitled "Osteosarcoma: The Addition of Muramyl Tripeptide to Chemotherapy Improves Overall Survival - A Report from the Children's Oncology Group." The landmark clinical trial, which is the largest study completed in this disease was a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded cooperative group study conducted by the Children's Oncology Group (COG).

The COG's findings were based on long-term follow up of 662 patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic osteosarcoma treated in the Phase 3 trial and demonstrated that the addition of L-MTP-PE to chemotherapy following surgery resulted in statistically superior Overall Survival (OS) the first stated aim of the study.

In the past two decades, there have been no treatment advances for patients with osteosarcoma, a rare and often fatal bone tumor that typically affects children and young adults.

"L-MTP-PE in combination with chemotherapy has demonstrated a significant long-term overall survival advantage in the largest Phase 3 clinical trial completed in patients with osteosarcoma," said Dr. Paul Meyers, vice chair, department of pediatrics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and principal investigator of the Phase 3 trial. "These results are encouraging for children and young adults with osteosarcoma, considering the lack of progress for these patients in the last 20 years."

The JCO publication highlighting long-term follow up from this study formed the basis of the recent oral explanation to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), regarding the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for L-MTP-PE for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic, resectable osteosarcoma. Updated results from this study were previously presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) annual meeting in November 2007. In addition, the new JCO publication highlights the long-term OS data whereas a prior JCO publication in 2005 focused on an Event Free Survival (EFS) additional analysis.

"These findings of statistically superior overall survival in long-term patient follow-up validate the survival benefit offered by L-MTP-PE and underscore the desperate need for new treatments for osteosarcoma patients," said Timothy P. Walbert, president and chief executive officer, IDM Pharma. "We believe these findings were critical to the recent opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in Europe and are a positive step toward bringing this important treatment to the European market and potentially gaining approval in the United States."
