MABCURE N.V. Signs Research Agreement With AZ Sint Lucas Hospital, Brugge, Belgium, to Conduct Preclinical Research on its Monoclonal Antibodies (Mabs) against Different Cancers
Research Intended to Broaden the Utility of MabCure's Mabs for Cancer Diagnosis in Tissue Specimen
HASSELT, Belgium, Nov 04, 2009 -- MabCure N.V., a subsidiary of MabCure Inc. (OTC BB: MBCI), a biotech company that has developed a series of highly specific monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to combat various types of cancers, has signed a research agreement with AZ Sint Lucas Hospital, Brugge, Belgium. AZ Sint Lucas Hospital will conduct preclinical research intended to broaden the utility of MabCure's monoclonal antibodies for those circumstances where there is a need to diagnose cancer in tissue specimen. At present, the Company's Mabs for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer, for example, are aimed at diagnosing early stage disease in physiological samples such as urine and serum.
Dr. Amnon Gonenne, CEO of MabCure Inc commented, "If this preclinical research works, it would open a door for us to diagnose everything that goes through surgery. This would include, for example, all of the at-risk melanoma patient population that routinely has moles removed prophylactically. The resection is arbitrary and there is currently no method to determine if the removed moles harbor early stage melanoma or not. This is critically important since melanoma is a highly lethal disease. MabCure's Mabs may provide a definitive diagnosis of early stage melanoma in these tissue specimens thereby allowing effective treatment of the patient. An analogous situation exists in colonoscopy where it is difficult to provide definitive diagnosis of early colon cancer in the resected polyps. This approach could be extended to other organs." Dr. Gonnene continued, "Currently, we address multibillion-dollar opportunities with the specimens we know our Mabs are effective against. This new opportunity would allow us to cast an even wider net and we are very excited about the possibility of helping these patients." Studies have already begun at AZ Sint Lucas Hospital, and all scientific results will remain a property of MabCure.
About AZ Sint Lucas Hospital The Saint Lucas General Hospital in Bruges is an independent hospital with emphasis on advanced patient care, active clinical research and participation in multi-center clinical trials.

NavStar Technologies, Inc. Issues a Shareholder Update
NavStar Technologies, Inc. Provides an Update on the Company's Focus for November and December 2009
ANAHEIM, CA, Nov 04, 2009 -- NavStar Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NVSR), a firm focused on developing and commercializing multi-national asset tracking and monitoring devices for vehicles and high value cargo, today issued a shareholder update on several key initiative for the last 60 days of 2009.
Dear Shareholders, As you know, significant progress has been made this year to identify partners in several countries and to get distribution agreements signed. This effort, while time consuming and difficult, will result in purchase orders for NavStar products in late 2009 and first quarter of 2010. Below is an update on a few of the "near term" opportunities that will unfold in the next 60 to 90 days.
* The contract with the transportation department in Ecuador is in the final stages of the field trial and units will ship in early 2010. We are the vendor of choice and delays are due to personnel changes within the government of Ecuador.
* Final terms for a Joint Venture in Korea have been finalized and will be signed this month.
* A field trial with a US trucking company will begin in late November or early December.
* The opportunity that was announced in early October for distribution into the Middle East is still alive but taking much longer than expected to reach agreeable terms and conditions.
The effort to get a distribution agreement signed, conduct a field trial and get a purchase order takes time and has of course been more difficult given the current economic climate. In spite of these conditions we have established a diverse customer base and have 6 significant agreements in place as we conclude 2009 and start 2010.
For a more in-depth review of the company plans for the rest of 2009 and projections for 2010, look for an interview with NavStar's Chairman and CEO N. Douglas Pritt later today at www.tradergains.com.

Left Behind Games Selling Fast in Walmart Test Market
MURRIETA, Calif., Nov 4, 2009 -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of Christian video games, reports that the Walmart test market for Christian video games in Texas appears to be progressing beyond the company's original expectations. A representative who has been making on-site checks to verify sales, reports that just two weeks after the initial inventory was displayed, approximately 25% of the games have been sold.
Troy Lyndon, CEO says, "At the rate Walmart inventory is moving, they will be out of games before Christmas, unless they reorder. We started sending out letters of appeal to Texas-based church pastors on October 12th, and plan to reach more than 10,000 churches over a 10-week campaign through Christmas. With seven weeks remaining, and accelerated sales expected as we near the holidays, we believe test results will be favorable leading to a broader national market for Christian based PC games." To enhance the company's marketing impact and increase sales, Left Behind Games is distributing "Buy one from Walmart and get another FREE from us" mailers in areas surrounding each participating Walmart store. This special promotion is open to anyone anywhere. To take advantage of the offer, and/or find the nearest Walmart store carrying the games, go to www.inspiredmedia.com/walmart.
Christian products have gained popular acceptance in the music and book sections of retailers over recent years. For many years, Walmart stores have sold gospel music and both fictional and non-fictional Christian books, including the well-known Left Behind book series which has sold more than 65 million copies. Yet, there are few, if any, moral or Bible-based video game choices for youth and adults alike. With the introduction of the newest Left Behind and Charlie Church Mouse PC video games as well as Keys of the Kingdom in approximately 100 Texas Walmart stores, the immediate response from consumers indicates a solid level of interest in these products.
About Left Behind Games Inc.
