Laser Energetics to Integrate BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite Lasers in Medical and Dental Applications
MERCERVILLE, N.J., Oct 22, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Laser Energetics, Inc. (LNGT) announced today that the Company has entered into discussions with several medical and dental instrument suppliers regarding the integration of LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers into their medical and dental products.
LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite laser's shorter fundamental tunable laser output and fiber optic beam delivery system can enhance medical and dental laser applications. The lasers may be used in the medical market for Photo Acoustic Imaging to detect certain types of cancer (such as breast cancer), Photo Dynamic Therapy for treatment of certain types of cancer (i.e., lung cancer), hair removal, tattoo removal, spider vein treatment, ophthalmic applications, and blood clot detection to name just a few applications. In addition, the lasers can be used in the dental market for low trauma decay treatment and teeth cleaning. There are many more medical and dental laser applications that LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers can address.
The Company's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers, because of their compact design, are cheaper to build, and thus more cost effective and profitable to the practitioners using them.
These applications are in addition to the defense and homeland security markets already being addressed by the Company.
LEI's Medical Director, Dr. John T. LiVecchi, MD, FACS, stated "Lasers play a prominent role in the efficient delivery of healthcare in today's environment. Our BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers are perfectly positioned to take a significant percentage of this large and growing market."
Robert D. Battis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Laser Energetics, said, "Our goal is to identify as many uses as possible for the various BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers. This will bring about cost reduction in manufacturing, enhanced market share and increased profit margins. LEI will strategically team with other companies who have already created an infrastructure to serve various markets, such as the medical/dental marketplace. We will strictly build lasers for them on an OEM basis, supporting their efforts. By concentrating our initial efforts on defense and security, and joint venturing or licensing technology for other markets, we expect to leverage our technology to maximize both sales and profits for the Company. We expect to be in a position to make several announcements regarding these developments in the near future.
About Laser Energetics, Inc.: LEI has and continues to develop a comprehensive and strategic laser product line that addresses applications in Industry, Science, Medicine and the Military. The Company has had a primary focus on its Alexandrite laser technology. These tunable solid state lasers are unique in that they can be conductively air cooled to compete favorably against water cooled lasers in many applications. In addition, these lasers have one of the greatest wavelength tuning ranges with a bandwidth of over 250nm. The company is pursuing markets that are diverse yet can use the same laser with their compact user friendly design. This laser technology provides a sustainable advantage over many other lasers because of their tune-ability, conductively air cooled operation, and their efficiency allowing these lasers to operate at 110 Volts as compared to other less efficient competitive lasers that are large and need 220 Volts to operate.
SIBLING SPORTS ANNOUNCES THAT M-1 GLOBAL SIGNS FEDOR EMELIANENKO - THE RENOWNED MMA FIGHTER!
NEW YORK CITY, NY, October 23, 2007- Sibling Entertainment Group Holdings, Inc. [SIBE] ["Sibling Holdings"] announced yesterday that an affiliate of Sibling Entertainment Group, Inc., M-1 Global, LLC ["M-1 Global"] signed an agreement with Fedor Emelianenko, widely regarded as the world's best MMA fighter.
"We are elated to have signed Fedor," says Mitchell Maxwell, chairman of M-1 Global. "He is the consummate MMA fighter. His record speaks for itself, at 26-1 he is the best heavyweight fighter in the world. In addition, almost every major MMA magazine and website has named Fedor the 'best pound for pound MMA fighter' in the sport."
Vadim Finkelchtein, Fedor's manager says, "We're excited to be working with M-1 Global. This new organization is committed to moving MMA into the mainstream worldwide. M-1 Global respects Fedor's desire to represent Russia in International Sambo Competitions and fully supports his participation in these events."
"Fedor has signed a two year contract for six fights with a very attractive extension option," Finkelchtein said.
As to compensation, Maxwell replied: "Fedor is being paid commensurate with his status as the MMA greatest fighter. I would be prepared to get in the ring with him for what he is being paid. Of course in my case it would quickly become part of my estate."
Sherdog.com, a leading authority in the MMA world exclaims: "A complete fighter, Fedor is known for his brilliance in the ring, where he often appears so relaxed it's like he just woke from a Sunday afternoon nap. Fedor mixes a vicious ground-striking game with an active submission regimen along with the kind of high-elevation takedowns that only the most dynamic fighters possess. Having stood and gone to the floor with the best in both areas, most pundits regard Emelianenko, the current PRIDE heavyweight champion, to be the finest fighter on the planet."
Robert Rousseau ExtremeProSports.com writer raves: "So what happens when you combine strength with elite fighting skills? In Fedor Emelianenko's case, you get the Heavyweight Champion of Pride Fighting Championships (PRIDE). In fact, many believe that he may be the greatest martial artist in the history of the sport, a terrifying brew of heart, technique, and astounding strength."
Richard Pauley, quoted on Foxsports.com explains: "It's the allure of being labeled 'unbeatable' that draws people to that kind of champion. Where would golf be without Tiger Woods and what happened to basketball when Michael Jordan retired the first time? In MMA there is this 'unbeatable' champion, Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko. Fedor is a mild-mannered stone cold fighter who is versed in every aspect of the MMA game. He is considered unbeatable by most which makes it all the more appealing to watch his fights."
"Not only is Fedor a great fighter, but he is a great ambassador of Russian Sambo and a great role model. Fedor spends time working with Russian orphan boys to help them learn life skills through martial arts. He spends his own money to provide uniforms and training for these children. He believes that respect for authority, discipline, and athletic skills that these young boys can learn from martial arts will help give them a meaningful future," Maxwell said.
"While Fedor is well-known by hard-core US MMA fans, and MMA fans in Europe, Russia, and Asia, he is not as well-known in the US," said Maxwell. "We have been working closely with SFX Media & Events, one of the premier sports marketing and management organizations in the world, to help us promote Fedor in the US."
Dennis Spencer, executive vice president of SFX Media and Events, a Blue Equity Company, says, "Fedor Emelianenko is the best fighter in the world. He has captured the imagination of MMA fans, and we intend to create television and media platforms in the United States and around the world that will showcase Fedor and his unbelievable talent. Fedor will be the sport's first worldwide superstar."
"We have created a world-class organization to support Fedor and we're anxious for the American public to meet and embrace him," said Maxwell.

Swing Man Market Recap:
Sunday night nearly all the foreign markets suffered decent percentage losses in reaction to Friday's plunge here in the U.S. Taking a cue from foreign markets, our futures gapped down at the open with the Dow losing over 100 points early in the trading session. When the tech stocks began to rally, the entire market managed to recover back to the unchanged levels. However, soon thereafter, sellers again entered the market as market headed back down to test its morning lows. The Dow again fell over 100 points before reversing back up and ultimately working its way higher into positive territory. The Dow ended the day 50 points higher but still lagged the tech sector with the Nasdaq gaining nearly 29 points.
Monday, the first rally was a classic example of an oversold bounce. Some sort of bounce typically occurs when markets reach extreme oversold conditions (examine the 60 minute charts intra day) and sellers become exhausted in the near term. These initial bounces usually are met with selling as was the case today. However, the subsequent rally combined with the after hours action provides the Bulls with some hope as the indexes were able to close near the highs for the day with the futures currently extending those gains. Thus, it will be interesting to see how things play out tomorrow since most indexes will likely run into various levels of resistance if the futures hold their gains Tuesday. Specifically, let's observe how the SPX and DOW deal with their respective 50 and 20 day EMA's overhead since this would be the normal area for a rally to fail. The key level for the SPX comes into play at 1530 where the 20 day EMA and long time price resistance meet. Until the SPX clears and holds above this key level, one cannot trust the rally. Likewise, watch to see if the Dow can break above its 20 day EMA found near 13,830. Folks, until these indices can regain their 20 day EMA's they are simply range bound at best. Otherwise, they should be viewed as down trending due to the fact that both of these indexes made divergent highs and Friday lost support of their 20 and 50 day moving averages with confirming volume. Let's take things easy and see what signal the market sends us before making big bets.
Finally, we need to continue to closely monitor our measures of sentiment. As you are now well aware from last week, our sentiment readings showed a high level of complacency amongst market participants. It's probably safe to say that Friday's sell off instilled some fear back into traders, but it seems a bit premature to believe that one big down day has managed to accomplish this feat. Therefore, let's continue to remain somewhat cautious in the near term and see what the coming days suggest. As always, be prepared to react to the message of the market.
Good Trading.
