"This is a landmark program for the Regulated Medical Waste industry, specifically to the small quantity waste generator (SQG), which typically pays significantly higher prices for hauling services due to the fact that only one entity existed in the market place that had the bandwidth to serve the market," commented David Laky, President and CEO, MedClean Technologies, Inc. "Through the partnerships we have developed, we have been able to identify a target market, develop a savings program for that market, increase the value proposition our GPO partner provides to that market, and most importantly deploy high quality services to the participants. Our partners are committed to the success of this program and have backed that commitment through contracted milestones. Additional goals of the program include enhanced opportunity for ecommerce sales and through tracking waste volumes handled by the IMWTA we will be able to pinpoint key opportunities to place localized medical waste processing centers featuring our MedClean Series equipment."
ABOUT MEDPRO DISPOSAL LLC
MedPro Waste Disposal LLC (MedPro) provides reliable, cost-effective medical waste disposal services to large and small quantity generators of medical waste. At, MedPro, we recognized a need for standardized costs across an industry largely dominated by a single entity. There were too many instances where customers were being charged drastically different prices for the same service. Some industry leaders continue to use this pricing strategy on their own customers, charging similar waste generators not-so-similar prices. In an industry full of regulations, there appeared to be none when it came to reasonable and fair business practices.
MedPro has formed an alliance with MedClean and the IMWTA transporters to provide the safest and most economical destruction of medical waste. Our goal is to ensure that our customers receive the quick, reliable service you have come to expect from your medical waste hauler with the peace of mind that you are not paying more than your neighbor, and that your waste is being properly disposed of.

May 8 - BioSante Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter Financial Results
BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX) reported on its financial results for the first quarter of 2012 and cash balance as of March 31, 2012.
BioSante’s cash balance as of March 31, 2012 was approximately $49.5 million, compared to a cash balance of approximately $57.3 million on December 31, 2011.
BioSante incurred a net loss of approximately $10.3 million or $(0.09) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $17.3 million or $(0.20) per share for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the net loss was due primarily to lower expenses associated with the clinical development of LibiGel® (testosterone gel).
BioSante’s corporate strategy always has included product development of high value medically-needed pharmaceutical products. In light of the top-line results from the two pivotal LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, which indicated that LibiGel did not meet its co-primary or secondary endpoints, management continues to assess LibiGel’s path forward and potential alternative strategies to utilize the continuing LibiGel Phase III cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study. Management also has expanded efforts to explore new product development projects through in-licensing and mergers and acquisitions as well as to develop further the GVAX cancer vaccine portfolio.
The current projected cash burn rate for 2012 is approximately $2.5 million per month, including expenditures related to the ongoing LibiGel safety study. If a decision is made to halt the LibiGel safety study, the monthly cash burn rate will decline to approximately $1.5 million per month, pending other product development and corporate activities.

GEAR News:
May 20 - Gear International, Inc. Updates Financial Statements, Shows Increased Value and Progress of Business Model
Gear International, Inc. (OTC: GEAR) released financial statements demonstrating significant improvement in asset value and cash on balance from 2010 to the current fiscal year. Complemented by a series of asset acquisitions and joint venture agreements on several mining claims, the underlying company financials suggest a fundamental enhancement of shareholder value could soon be realized. GEAR has added 5 mining claims and improved its cash reserves. Additionally, GEAR management is anticipating a market correction in the value of the company's stock after successfully eliminating a hostile shareholder from the float.
GEAR's value to its stockholders continues to exhibit transformational potential. During the period between December 31st 2010 and December 31st 2011, GEAR's stockholder equity transformed from a negative value to over 7 million dollars with minimal public activity or wealth generating capacity. In 2012, management's substantial improved GEAR's brand awareness, activities, and asset claims.
GEAR president Dale Geck affirms: "The industry averages for mining companies possessing producing assets suggest that current and near term shareholders could be observing exponentially increased value within the next few quarters. Company due diligence was unable to yield evidence of a publicly traded company with ownership of a producing gold mine maintaining market capitalization of less than 500 million USD; GEAR has several projects with historical reserve volumes exceeding that number. Over the next 120 days as we register those reserves with today's leading standards, current shareholder values could be rendered obsolete."
