VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC)

Biomass is any organic matter on Earth that is involved in the cycle of nutrients in the biosphere. It is the bodies of all organisms (animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and cyanobacteria), both living and dead, from largest to microscopic.

For energy and fuel production only the power-exploitable biomass can be used (energy biomass, sometimes just biomass). Biomass can be described as accumulated solar radiation, though with low efficiency, but with almost zero losses during long-term accumulation.

VIASPACE is a clean energy company providing products and technology for renewable and alternative energy that reduce or eliminate dependence on fossil and high-pollutant energy sources.

VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:VSPC), and its renewable energy subsidiary VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:VGREF) announced that their Green Log� brand fireplace and campfire logs were exhibited at the National Hardware Show held in Las Vegas, Nevada from May 10-12, 2011. The National Hardware Show is an annual gathering of buyers and sellers in specialties such as hardware tools, lawn and garden, and outdoor living. The trade show was an ideal venue for the Company’s Green Log to be presented. Many of the major players in the fire log industry also exhibited at the show.

Chief Executive Carl Kukkonen stated, “The Green Log is a product that we have spent a lot of time and effort in developing. We believe the Green Log is the most eco-friendly fire log product on the market, and at the trade show, we were able to educate people about the many benefits of the Green Log.”

Mr. Sung Chang, President of VIASPACE Green Energy added, “The National Hardware Show allowed us to get the Green Log name out there. Many prospective customers were at the trade show along with our competitors in the fire log industry. From what was seen at the trade show, our competitors have already identified VIASPACE as a viable contender in the fire log industry. Potential buyers of the Green Log have expressed interest in our product and we are following up with them.”

The Green Log is VIASPACE’s first commercial product made with Giant King Grass. The fire log is a renewable and sustainable product as opposed to other artificial fire logs that are made with petroleum-based materials and trees that take decades to fully grow. The product takes just 3 minutes to fully light, and it burns for up to 5 hours.

Information on Green Logs is available on the VIASPACE website www.VIASPACE.com. A video about Green Logs was produced for use at the National Hardware Show and can be seen at the following link:

Power3 Medical Products, Inc (PWRM)

Breast cancer most often begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts. Doctors call this type of breast cancer invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer may also begin in the milk glands known as lobules (invasive lobular carcinoma) within the breast.

Researchers have identified things that can increase your risk of breast cancer. But it’s not clear why some people who have no risk factors develop cancer, yet other people with risk factors never do. It’s likely that breast cancer is caused by a complex interaction of your genetic makeup and your environment.

Power3 Medical Products, Inc. is a leading bio-technology company focused on the development of innovative diagnostic tests in the fields of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Through these processes, Power3 Medical has developed a portfolio of products including BC-SeraPro�, a proteomic blood serum test for the early detection of breast cancer for which it has completed Phase I clinical trials, and NuroPro�, a proteomic blood serum test for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS diseases, for which it is currently engaged in Phase II clinical trials. These tests are designed to analyze an individual’s proteins to detect the presence of disease, a patient’s disease progression, a patient’s response to a particular drug, and the mechanisms of disease present in the patient for optimal targeted therapy.

Power3 Medical Products, Inc is a breakthrough proteomics company specializing in the identification of disease footprints in the areas of chemotherapeutic drug resistance and the early detection of breast cancer and neurological diseases.
