TODAY'S MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Top Story

SOUTHWALL TECHNOLOGIES INC. - Earnings spark a rally.

Southwall Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: SWTX) is trading up 30% on heavier
than usual volume following the August 12, 2008 announcement of second
quarter 2008 revenue of $13.7 million, up 29.5% from $10.6 million in
the first quarter of 2008 and up approximately 48% from 2007 second
quarter revenues of $9.3 million. The year over year increase was
primarily due to higher sales of Automotive and Window Film products,
which offset the decline in Plasma Display revenues. In 2007, the
Company made a strategic decision to exit the low margin display
business and focus on its core energy efficiency products. For the
first six months of 2008, revenues were $24.3 million, a 23% increase
over 2007 revenues of $19.8 million.

NVIDIA - New motherboard helps.

NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA)is trading up 10% on the news of August 13, 2008
that as suppliers of corporate and business PCs have had success in
marketing small-form-factor PCs, but to date the demand for smaller PCs
in the consumer market has not appeared because these PCs lacked the
visual processing power to meet consumers' increasingly visual
application demands. But this may be changing as consumer PCs are
moving from the desktop to the living room and great visual processing
technology moves more and more into the mainstream. To meet this
nascent demand, PC makers like Acer are using NVIDIA motherboard GPUs
to deliver new lines of consumer-oriented, small-form-factor PCs that
have the performance, functionality, price, and visual performance of
full-sized desktop machines. The Acer Aspire x1200 and x3200 line of
PCs use the NVIDIA GeForce 8200 GPU to deliver stunning visual
performance while solving many of the thermal, noise, and cost issues
traditionally associated with designing smaller machines. To read the

the news of August 13, 2008 that announced it has granted an exclusive
license to Embryome Sciences, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
BioTime, Inc., to use "ACTCellerate" embryonic stem cell technology and
a bank of over 140 diverse progenitor cell lines derived using that
technology. Under the agreement, ACT received an upfront payment of
$250,000, and is eligible to receive an 8% royalty on sales of
products, services, and processes that utilize the licensed technology.
Once a total of $1,000,000 of royalties has been paid, no further
