NEWARK, Calif. – Novasys Medical, Inc., developer of the Renessa(R) treatment for female stress urinary incontinence, announced today that it has received $18.95 million in the second tranche of its previously announced Series D preferred stock financing. The Company received the first tranche of the Series D round in May 2008, with lead investor Versant Ventures and new investors ThreeArch Partners and Skyline Ventures. All three participated in the second tranche, with existing investors Alloy Ventures, Delphi Ventures, GBS Venture Partners and Hercules Technology Growth Capital.

“In this challenging financing environment, we greatly value the continued support of our investors. They understand the tremendous opportunity the non-surgical Renessa treatment offers women,” said Debra Reisenthel, President and CEO of Novasys Medical. “This financing will speed the process of securing reimbursement for the Renessa treatment. Since the first tranche of the Series D financing closed last May, we’ve enjoyed major progress with several key payers agreeing to cover the procedure. These payers include Aetna, plus regional Medicare carriers Noridian , First Coast and TrailBlazers, who cover 27 million lives. Additional payers are expected to join them in covering Renessa soon.”

Beckie Robertson, Managing Director with Versant Ventures, said, “We’re really pleased with the reimbursement progress Novasys has made with payers in the past year. We’re confident this is a huge opportunity in an underserved market.”

Female Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

SUI is the involuntary leakage of urine associated with coughing, sneezing, laughing and recreational activities. It is caused by a variety of factors—most commonly childbirth—and often restricts the social, professional, and personal lives of an estimated 15 million women in the U.S. alone. With currently available surgical and non-surgical SUI therapies, many patients and physicians have concerns about safety, recovery, compliance and/or effectiveness. Experts estimate 80% of women with SUI thus do not seek treatment of any kind.

The FDA-cleared Renessa System includes a small probe which a physician passes through the natural opening of the urethra (transurethral). The probe gently heats the tissue in the bladder neck and upper urethra. The heat denatures the collagen in the tissue, and upon healing, the tissue becomes firmer and more resistant to leaks. The Renessa treatment can be performed in the convenience of a physician’s office, or in an outpatient setting, using local anesthesia. There are no incisions, bandages or dressings required. Recovery is rapid and comfortable, with minimal post-procedure limitations. More than 350 urologists, urogynecologists and gynecologists have been trained and have performed the Renessa procedure in nearly 3,000 patients.

About Novasys Medical

Novasys Medical, Inc. is a privately held, venture-backed company which develops innovative therapies in women’s health. The company’s initial focus is the development and commercialization of the Renessa System, a proprietary, non-surgical approach to the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

There are many things to consider when looking at purchasing a property to flip.  Most inexperienced renovators will concentrate on the alterations that can be made to a house and how the house can be improved so that they can make a profit from the renovation and ultimate sale of the property.

One other very important aspect is its immediate vicinity.
If you are purchasing to rent the important factor is that you get a good buying price and that the rental demand in that area is good.

But if you are purchasing to renovate and flip the property, then it is important that the surrounding properties are going to help bring the price up.

If you purchased a property at approx. $325,000, at the lower end of the market and you spend $40,000 renovating it, you now have a property worth in excess of $365,000.

If you are going to be selling a $365,000 home that is looking all nicely presented and modernized, do you think you have more chance of selling it in a neighborhood with the most homes in the price brackets of (Example A $300,000 to $425,000) or (Example B $425,000 to $575,000) ?

The answer is Example B, with the reason being that a quality home is going to have a better chance of selling in an area where there are substantially more homes in the area in the higher price bracket.

With Example A, there are still too many homes in the lower price bracket and therefore your newly modernized home has too much competition and nothing to drag the price up in that area.

Consider your areas when purchase for flipping.

LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – A.J. Hawk captured the title of “Celebrity Long Drive Champ” by unleashing a booming 322-yard drive to win the 20th Annual Long Drive Competition, sponsored by Korbel Champagne Cellars on July 17, 2009. The competition is a featured event at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, currently being played at the Edgewood Golf Course in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Named NFL All-Rookie in 2006, Green Bay Packers Linebacker A.J. Hawk is an indispensable defensive asset who rarely leaves the field. An All-American at The Ohio State University, Hawk was the 2005 recipient of the Lombardi Award which is given annually to the nation’s top lineman. Demonstrating his familiarity with champagne and victory celebrations, Hawk accepted his Long Drive Trophy then popped the cork on a big bottle of Korbel and sprayed the enthusiastic crowd.

Former NFL All-Pro Quarterback Chris Chandler’s 321-yard blast placed him in second and NBA Cleveland Cavaliers’ Wally Szczerbiak finished third with a 320-yard shot. Other celebrities participating in the Korbel Long Drive Competition included former NFL greats Jim McMahon and Joe Theismann, MLB All Stars Joe Carter and Paul O’Neill, NBA’s Bill Laimbeer and Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, as well as Actor Ray Romano.

The Korbel Long Drive Contest has been a highlight of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship since 1992. MLB All-Star Kenny Lofton won the 2008 contest with an explosive 335-yard drive in a run-off, placing former NFL Quarterback Billy Jo Tolliver in second. Other previous winners include Jim McMahon (2007, 1994 and 1992), Paul O’Neill (2006), Jeremy Roenick (2002 and 2000), Emmitt Smith (1999), Pete Sampras (1996) and John Elway (1995).

“Champagne and celebrations go hand-in-hand and for that reason Korbel is proud to participate in this golf tournament and sponsor the Long Drive Competition,” said Gary Heck, owner and president.

The 20(th) Annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship takes place Friday, July 17 through Sunday, July 19 at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Club and is televised live by NBC Sports. The 54-hole stroke play tournament is the most prestigious and richest celebrity tournament in golf, with a $600,000 purse and $125,000 going to the first place finisher.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A federal judge granted another strong legal victory for Proposition 8 today by throwing out the challenge that directly attempted to overturn the measure on federal constitutional grounds.

United States District Court Judge David Carter threw out the challenge to Proposition 8 and dismissed the state of California as a defendant in the case of Smelt vs. United States. The judge indicated in his ruling that since the plaintiffs in the case were legally married before the enactment of Proposition 8, and because the California State Supreme Court recently held that such marriages would remain intact, they had no “injury” or standing to challenge the measure. Portions of the case challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) will be heard in August.

“This is another great day for marriage in California,”, said Andrew Pugno, Chief Legal Counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, the official campaign committee for Proposition 8 and for the proponents of the measure. “The twice-expressed will of the people of California for traditional marriage is under assault from many lawsuits, but our recent string of victories in both state and federal courts is very gratifying.”

The challenge to the Federal DOMA law will move forward with the U.S. Department of Justice as the official defendant. The next hearing is scheduled for August 3.

“ProtectMarriage.com will continue to fight for marriage and fight to defend the will of the people, no matter what course and no matter what legal theory they conjure up,” said Pugno.
