National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:NHPR.OB)

Today's uninsured spend more for care-and are getting less-than those with insurance. However when the uninsured can't pay, health care providers change those costs to the people who ultimately can pay-those who have insurance policies. That causes much higher monthly premiums for those who buy the insurance, male or female, on the market, as well as staff who get insurance to cover for themselves and their loved ones. The need for affordable healthcare alternatives has never been greater.

National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB:NHPR.OB) is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured and underinsured people through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna. The company’s primary target customer group is the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance of any kind. The company’s secondary target customer group includes the millions of Americans who lack complete health insurance coverage. The company is headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania.

NHPR currently offer five standard CARExpress membership programs that provide benefits that range from prescription drug and vision care to comprehensive physician, hospital, vision, dental and other care.

* Comprehensive Care Program.
* Supplemental Care Program.
* Preferred Care / Senior Advantage Program.
* Dental & Vision Care Program.
* Prescription & Vision Care Program.

Recently, NHPR achieved positive earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $522,542 for the same period last year. Revenues for the 3rd quarter grew 12.3% over the same period last year. The Company attributes the net earnings to the significant cost-cutting initiatives taken over the past couple of quarters and which is continuing in the 4th quarter.

David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of NHPR , stated: “I am thrilled to announce that we have finally achieved profitability. Due to the fact that our limited medical provider unexpectedly decided to exit the marketplace, we were unable to add any new CARExpress Plus limited medical sales during the 3rd quarter. Yet, despite this temporary setback, we were still able to substantially increase our revenue and reach profitability which is a testament to the underlying strength we have with our core CARExpress health discount programs. Although we achieved positive results in revenues and earnings, we anticipate much better results in 2011.”

CLNO, Cleantech Transit, Inc., CLNO.OB

Cleantech Transit Inc. ("Cleantech") (OTC.BB:CLNO) is in the business of producing and conserving power. CLNO produce and sell clean electricity globally, with a focus on sustainable energies using renewable resources such as Geothermal, Solar and Wind. Their goal is to use innovative technologies to reduce electricity consumption and dependence on carbon based energy.

A huge percentage of the world's fossil fuels come from the world's most volatile places. By reducing your use of oil derivatives, you reduce dependence on foreign energy sources, increasing our country's energy security by converting energy from waste.

In most industrial wood-to-energy applications, steam is produced in a boiler using standard stoker technology or newer fluidized-bed combustion technology.

Energy is generated this way in thousands of settings around the world using conventional, off-the-shelf equipment. The systems can be designed to produce heat, electricity, or both in combined heat and power systems.

Wood-biomass systems produce electricity in units ranging in size from 5 kilowatts to 75 megawatts.

CLNO recently reported the commencement of the final permitting prior to be able to go online at Merced. The Merced project is a 500 Kilowatt biomass-generated power plant that is fully constructed, owned and operated by Phoenix Energy. The Merced project received permission for parallel testing to the grid. This testing process will allow Merced to connect to the grid on its own.

The funding to be provided to Phoenix Energy for the commercialization of this biomass gasification plant should be eligible to apply for a renewable energy cash back incentive program offered by the U.S. Federal Government.

If it concludes its planned investment in Phoenix Energy, under Section 1603 of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, CLNO will be entitled to receive its pro-rata share of 30% cash grant payments.
