Someone over at the Yahoo board has posted that he had a conversation with a company insider about the announcement of a contract in the next two weeks for Cyclopss with a company located in the south. messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Reading your post Mike I got to wondering if this might be referring to the long awaited deal with Columbia HCA. Headquartered in Nashville if this deal ever comes through for Cyclopss it could be huge. Check out the Columbia HCA web site and then this facility map to get some idea of the scope and potential of this deal: columbia-hca.com columbia.net Columbia stock COL actually traded higher on Friday because losses were actually less than expected. I have seen other investors here allude to the possibility that such a contract could look very good for Columbia HCA. Why is that? Not only could Columbia save as much as 66% on their operating costs in each laundry but they could actually reduce the numbers of hospital infections that are spread because of inadequately disinfected bedsheets, towels, linens and the like. Anyone wishing for further explanation of how this can be done please ask me and I will post to the research thread how the use of ozone laundry systems could reduce hospital costs and save lifes. Have a good weekend everyone. Lets hope there is some reason to believe this latest rumor. Lets hope that maybe it might be something as big as a deal with Columbia HCA. Regards, Jeff

When I visited with Bill at OZON Bill was on a phone call with a gentleman from HCA. Bill said that HCA was in the bag and then the recent storm hit. He stated there was a high level of interest but HCA was shuffling priorities. Bill said that HCA has a much more compelling need than traditional laundries since their problems line up with the benefits of OZON technology. My opinion is that the HCA deal will close relatively soon if the power base Bill developed a relationship is still in a position of influence.

Michael you are very welcome. I thought you might be interested to know that Columbia HCA is raising cash: NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: COL) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell ValueRx to Express Scripts, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESRX) of St. Louis, Mo. for approximately $445 million in cash. Columbia/HCA previously announced plans to divest ValueRx, a pharmacy benefit management company, which it acquired in a merger with Value Health, Inc. Here is the full story: biz.yahoo.com It would be nice to see them spend some of this money for ozone laundry systems. Seems like a good way to get back your squeaky clean image. Regards, Jeff
