National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR)

Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) insurance is a relatively new, but rapidly growing, type of managed care plan, one developed to combine the lower cost of managed care with the greater degree of choice found in traditional health insurance. PPO insurance lies between HMOs and pure fee-for-service plans. Your health care is managed (and so restricted), but you are granted a degree of choice in providers. A PPO health insurance plan operates like an HMO in that you pay a fixed monthly premium, and, in return, the health insurance company and its health care network provide basic medical benefits to you.

National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced that it has entered into agreement with a major Hispanic marketing group for the sale of its CARExpress programs.

Cleantech Transit Inc (CLNO)

Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) is pleased to announce it has met its funding requirement to secure the Company's ability to earn in 25% of the 500KW Merced Project.

The Company is in the final stages of closing its initial interest in the Merced Project and is currently working on completing the necessary documentation and expects closing the transaction soon. As previously announced Cleantech has the option to earn up to 40% of the Merced Project and the Company plans to continue to work towards increasing its interest in the Merced Project as they move ahead.

The advantage of renewable resources includes their inability to produce carbon-based warming and polluting agents into the atmosphere. The financial cost of its applications is not always cheap but if the environmental costs of using fossil fuels are accounted for, renewable energy wins hands-down. There are also indirect savings on health and its costs as there are no harmful emissions.

Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. Cleantech Transit Inc has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that could maximize shareholder value.
