In May, Axial Vector Energy Corp. announced that its PETRO AVEC Joint Venture partner, Petrosonics LLC, recently received a Russian patent protecting the purification process that removes sulfur and nitrogen compounds from diesel oil, FCC cycle oil, FCC slurry oil, light/heavy gas oil and coker gas oil fractions. The patent will remain in effect for 20 years with the possibility of an additional five-year extension.

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. deals with one of the most important parts of our lives, the way we get paid. It sounds like a simple process, transferring money between people, but the handling of payments can be one of the most problematic areas of business simply because of the many and varied situations that call for it, not to mention the fairness and accuracy that people demand in every transaction.

For example, there are a number of markets requiring some sort of payment where non-traditional approaches are necessary. These areas benefit from Consorteum’s access to a wide range of industry technologies:

• Unbanked/Underbanked – There are currently over 130 million people in North America who have little or no banking relationship, making it difficult to receive payment for payroll, government, or other checks. • Loyalty/Rewards Programs – Many companies seek to reward loyal customers and need

Dividends are often regarded as a key indicator of a company’s financial health. They also contribute significantly to a stock investor’s long-term wealth, making them a crucial factor in evaluating a company for long-term investment. In today’s economic climate, it’s even more important to build a portfolio of quality companies with the financial strength necessary to issue dividends.

A recent research study found that in the year large-cap companies first began paying dividends, or reinstated them after a lapse, they outperformed their peers by 2.7 percentage points. However, large-cap stocks aren’t the only ones that issue dividends. Small-cap and Micro-cap companies also issue various types of dividends to reward existing investors as well as attract new investors.

Although the dividend payable dates for these companies have passed, some of the recently announced micro-cap dividends include Cadence Financial Corp.’s (NASDAQ: CADE) cash dividend of $0.05; Crosstex Energy, Inc.’s

Oil prices surpassed $73 a barrel today, hinting that once again, summer travel will be hindered by rising gas prices. Natural gas advocates are the first to say “I told you so” as they continue to vie for the importance of alternative energy, not only for cost savings, but for environmental purposes as well.

One obvious benefit of natural gas over oil is cost. Natural gas is generally cheaper than oil and the price isn’t influenced by international voice, as they are determined regionally. Also, in its basic form, natural gas doesn’t need refining, eliminating the refining costs of crude oil in its conversion to motor fuel.

In the middle of a recession, every attempt to save money without sacrificing quality deserves recognition. Energtek Inc. (EGTK) is engaged in developing and commercializing Absorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, which allows for the storage of comparable gas
