Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (Pinksheets:SFIO) announced this week through SFIO's President & CEO Thomas Schroepfer, that "For the New Year we have moved our business office to 2300 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 800 in Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. Details can be found on our web site. Also, I want to wish all Smokefree shareholders a prosperous and Happy New Year, and let them know that we are dedicated 24/7 to creating value for the shares of SFIO, and are constantly seeking out and implementing solutions that work for everyone in our business model, to the benefit of Smokefree Innotec, its partners, and its shareholders."

SFIO has experienced significant growth while overcoming setbacks in 2010, particularly in the effect of changing regulatory positions in both the U.S. and internationally. The year began with the Euromarket countries (except Germany) adopting surprise restrictions on marketing nicotine products, and ended with Australian and U. S. regulations being relaxed on such marketing for e-cigarettes. While European markets generally restricted our products to non-nicotine lines, we entered into joint ventures to expand our offerings to successfully include non-nicotine flavored products. In the U.S. we are now about to offer all products, including new flavors presently in testing, through our web site with the convenience of ordering online through shopping carts. This approach will be replicated throughout all of our international markets as we begin an aggressive branding program for SFIO.

George Roth, CFO added, "The harsh chaotic December winters suffered by Europe have significantly impacted our progress in those markets, but we intend to resume our marketing activities to place our products on countertops in convenience stores throughout those markets, with a more flexible pricing structure. Similarly, opportunities to replicate this approach here in the U. S have been brought to us and are under negotiations. We are seeking out additional distributors and invite all interested parties to contact me regarding qualifications."

Smokefree Innotec, Inc., a development stage company, engages in the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of smokeless nicotine delivery cigarettes. SFIO's cigarettes are electronic devices that are smoke-free and tobacco-free. SFIO was formerly known as Courtside Products, Inc. and changed its name to Smokefree Innotec, Inc. in December 2008. SFIO is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.

 American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (OTC:AVOT)

The 17 elements that are classified as "rare earth" are becoming an increasingly important part of our daily lives. Rare earth metals are the life blood of modern computers, batteries and alternative energies. For example, there are nearly ten pounds of the rare earth element, lanthanum, in every Toyota Prius engine. In addition, rare earth elements are vital to military technology. Contrary to the name, rare earth metals aren't particularly rare and can be found in most any continent. In recent weeks the US government has made important steps to increase production of these metals, as they will play an important part in President Obama's overhaul of U.S. energy.

American Video Teleconferencing Corp. is presently in final discussions to enter into a formal agreement to acquire an exclusive option on a molybdenum property in the Otter lake area in the province of Quebec, Canada. The property has been dormant since the 1960's when Hupon Mining and Exploration carried out surface work, stripping, trenching and a minor drill program of 445 feet contained in 11 drill holes. Some of the sample results from the trenching in 1962 showed 0.94% to 25% molybdenum averaging 5-10%. These values were obtained from assessment files in the Department of Mines in Quebec City.

This property is only one of several advanced stage properties AVOT has under consideration in the province of Quebec.
