HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:PRRY), is pleased to announce that the company has executed a distributor agreement with Joseph A. Khoury & Associates. Joseph A. Khoury & Associates will distribute PetroLuxus(TM) products in Canada with its initial focus on enhanced oil recovery and well bore & production string cleanup. Other target markets include oil sands and soil remediation of Canada's Oil & Gas industry sites with environmentally friendly products.

Joseph A. Khoury & Associates was recently formed to solely distribute PetroLuxus(TM) products to Canada's large oil & gas industry. Mr. Joseph Khoury founded the company after successful testing of PetroLuxus(TM) products in various applications. Mr. Khoury has extensive contacts in Canada's Oil & Gas Industry that have previously performed due diligence testing stating that PetroLuxus(TM) products are "excellent products that should provide fantastic results."

According to Oil and Gas Journal (OGJ), "Canada had a reported 178.8 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of January 2006, second only to Saudi Arabia. However, the bulk of these reserves (over 95%) are oil sands deposits in Alberta. The inclusion of oil sands in official reserve estimates is not without controversy, because oil sands are much more difficult to extract and process than conventional crude oil. Canada sends over 99 percent of its crude oil exports to the U.S., and it is one of the most important sources of U.S. oil imports."

HMGP | Hemi Energy Announces Well Results

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Hemi Energy Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HMGP) is pleased to announce exceptional results from the drilling and completion of the Collins Hemi 1 well.

President and CEO Keith A. Anderson is quoted as saying, "During drilling of this well I felt this was going to be an exceptionally strong well as the drill cutting were bleeding oil from the samples." Mr. Anderson continued, "The open hole log suite confirmed a Squirrel payzone that we are producing is about 13 feet thick and with top 10 feet clean sands with excellent porosity and good resistivity showing through that interval with oil saturations of 55% or greater. This was the main reason we waited so long until the weather and ground conditions cleared so that we would not have accessibility issues with this well, which is comparable to many Texas type oil and gas wells. The well is currently flowing natural gas, gas condensate and oil and is not being pumped yet. At one point we were venting significant volume of natural gas, potentially valued over $ 5,000 per day in management's opinion. In addition to the multiple payzones referred to in previous press releases, we also have discovered a yet-to-be-named 12-feet-thick payzone at approximately 600 feet deep in this well, which also contained exceptional saturations of oil. The oil well on the Collins lease has 4 to 5 times the pounds per square inch (PSI) of an average shallow oil well in southeast Kansas that generally has less than 500 PSI borehole pressure. We have 100% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in the Collins lease that is not considered a mature field and has had no prior oil production."

The Company has confirmed results that very important natural gas dissolved in water solution drive is present in this well. Therefore longer production and a slower decline curve will be much better than wells that were drilled on our mature leases that have lost most of this drive. This well will have a much longer lasting production at a higher rate because of this presence of this drive per the experience of service experts in Kansas. The current well results indicate we have found one of the strongest areas in this developing trend. With the natural gas cap in place, excessively strong reservoir pressure and very good oil shows in the formation.

Due to the results of the Hemi Collins 1 well and quality of the formation, the Company will focus on the leases it has in the immediate area, crews are now staking new drill sites and intend to drill in the area of the Collins lease as we have leases on both sides of the creek. The new Weseloh well is producing oil but needs additional completion techniques to be performed before the Company can determine its best rate of production.

An oil bbl count per day is not available yet because the exceptionally strong Hemi Collins 1 well requires more completion techniques and specialty equipment which is not normally required for shallow oil wells in Kansas. Even with the needed delays and additional cost, Hemi still has more than sufficient funds on hand to complete these new wells and all the supplies and equipment necessary for oil production from these wells. Craig L. Trieber, chief operating officer, for environmental and safety reasons, ordered new equipment necessary for this type of well. This new oil well on the Collins lease validates what the company has thought all along about the Cherry Creek and East Owl Creek oil trends.

Hemi's very artificially low market cap is substantially below book value and even below tangible asset values based on conservative oil and gas industry standards, especially when ongoing due diligence on lease values in 2 states and also North Dakota's leases are factored in. Hemi has been cash flow positive for all of 2008 and continues to be cash flow positive and meeting all normal operating expenses from oil production. In addition to its budgeted funds, Hemi is also tanking extra oil for several months more than is necessary for normal operations.

Hemi Energy Group is an independent crude oil and natural gas producer employing a unique business model capitalizing on technological advances to exploit mature fields with millions of barrels of proven oil remaining in the ground. Using attractive lease/royalty packages Hemi has secured, in its history tens of thousands of acres of productive domestic projects.

Jul 31, 2008 6:10:00 AM

NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- Intellect Neurosciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ILNS) announced today it has obtained a European patent relating to the Company's ANTISENILIN(R) monoclonal antibody platform for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The claims of the issued patent cover the ANTISENILIN(R) "free-end specific" antibodies that bind to beta amyloid and use of the antibodies in preventing or inhibiting the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The technology is designed to promote the clearance of beta amyloid which accumulates to reach toxic concentrations in the brains of Alzheimer's patients while reducing the potential for adverse side-effects. Importantly, such drugs avoid binding and thereby potentially interfering with the functions of the Amyloid Precursor Protein, which is an important physiological regulator in the body implicated in controlling essential brain functions as well as blood coagulation. The Company recently disclosed that it has granted a royalty-bearing license to Wyeth and Elan Pharma International Ltd. regarding patents and patent applications related to antibodies and methods of treatment for Alzheimer's disease, including Bapineuzumab, currently in Phase 3 clinical trials. The Company retains the ability to grant additional licenses under its ANTISENILIN(R) monoclonal antibody technology invented by Dr. Daniel Chain, the Company's Chairman and CEO. The ANTISENILIN(R) patents have previously issued in China, Japan and other countries.

We calculate that they will be in a position to obtain 51% of this Company by Monday August 4, 2008, if not before. It appears that this Private Equity Group has built up a substantial position of the Company's "free trading" stock over a period of some time.

The CEO and controlling stockholder of the Private Equity Group has confirmed that Alan Santini will remain as CEO of Fortress Financial Group, Inc. and that the Extraordinary Stock Dividend will proceed as announced. This is a pure "value play" for this Private Equity Group.

SANTA ANA, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RPTN), provider of the world's first distributed network switching architectures, today announced the completion of a private placement transaction with three institutional investors.

The Company intends to use these funds for general corporate purposes. The Company plans to file the transaction documents, which contain additional detailed information regarding the financing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the market closing.

In light of a slower than expected growth in revenue, and as disclosed in the Company's previous public filings, a range of business alternatives focused on preserving enterprise value, including strategic partnerships, licensing and shifting the Company from an operating to a licensing model have been under consideration, should they become necessary. Our independent auditors have questioned our ability to continue as a going concern in our Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2007 and before, and as we closely monitor the performance of our sales initiatives over the coming months, this financing affords us the time to carefully weigh and consider a broad range of options for the Company's future.

Skinny Nutritional Corp. (OTCBB:SKNY), will be handing over the keys to two winners of the Skinny Water(R) Beach House contest, Kammie Kirkpatrick and Heather Sabatino. Skinny Nutritional, Wired 96.5, and Lukoil all partnered to bring Philadelphia area residents a chance to win a free week-long vacation in the Skinny Water Beach House.

Kammie entered the Skinny Water Beach House Give-A-Way at her local Lukoil station after tasting her first bottle of Skinny Water in June. She was selected among hundreds of other Skinny Water Beach House Give-A-Way contestants.

"I never thought drinking Skinny Water would get me a free vacation," says Kammie. "My family and I are so excited. Skinny Water has already become a part of my daily life, and now it's my vacation. I eat my three meals a day and I drink Skinny Water in between. I never forget it. I even carry one around in my purse."

Kammie discovered Skinny Water while searching for a zero-calorie flavored beverage. Since making Skinny Water a part of her daily routine, Kammie lost nine pounds and gained a free vacation house.

And Heather Sabatino will be taking over the Skinny house in August. Heather heard about Skinny Water through 96.5 and wanted to try it for herself. Since first tasting Skinny Water while filling up at gas at her local Lukoil, station last month, Heather has lost 12 pounds, and Skinny Water has become part of her everyday diet.

"I've never won anything in my life, so winning a beach house was a big surprise," says Heather. "Skinny Water is a great new product out there and absolutely the reason I'm losing weight and eating less. It's my new beverage of choice."

The Skinny Water lineup features five flavors, including Acai Grape Blueberry (Hi-Energy), Raspberry Pomegranate (Crave Control), Goji Fruit Punch (Shape), Passionfruit Lemonade (Total-V), and Peach Mango Mandarin (XXX-Detox). Every bottle of Skinny Water has clinically proven ingredients to boost metabolism and control appetite.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

GWS Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB: GWSI) an alternative energy company developing and marketing microgeneration solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Calgary-based Windterra Systems, Inc. to distribute Windterra's revolutionary ECO1200 Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). The ECO 1200 will be the first in a family of wind turbines designed specifically for roof top residential and light industrial use.

"Windterra is developing a line of small wind turbines that are affordable, easy to install, and are designed to generate power even at low wind speeds. The addition of Windterra's ECO 1200 to our product line helps us secure our position in the microgeneration power market," said GWS Technologies Vice President Michael Coskun.

Approximately 1.5 pounds of CO2 are emitted for every kilowatt-hour (the energy equal to the use of one kilowatt in one hour, or kWh) generated domestically. Windterra estimates that the ECO 1200 will produce about 1642 kWh a year in a micro-wind of only 5m/sec (11.18 mph), reducing the average home carbon footprint by 2,463 lbs (well over a ton) of CO2 per year. One of the fastest growing segments of the power sector, wind generation capacity is expected to more than double between 2006 and 2011 worldwide.

"Our roof-mounted small-wind turbine systems give homeowners and other small-application users the ability to generate their own safe, inexpensive, emissions-free power by harnessing an abundant, renewable and freely available energy source, the wind," said Yanni Kalajakis, Director of U.S. Market Development for Windterra. "We're excited to be working with GWS Technologies to bring our products into new markets where wind power is an untapped resource."
