Aspire Week in Review - Week Ended August 15, 2008
In an effort to curb gasoline consumption, China's government doubled the sale taxes on the biggest cars from 20% to 40% while cutting taxes on smaller cars. Doubtful that our government will be able to be as efficient, as partisan politics continue to play a dividing role in bringing any coherent and cohesive energy policy to the table for a consensus. Congress will be back from its reprieve in September and the GOP seems to have done a better job strong-arming the Dems into giving on some level of a domestic drilling program, and getting the public to buy into the rationale, as cloudy as it really is.

SpectraScience (OTCBB:SCIE) Gets Key Validation of Technology with University of Iowa Order
With what we believe to be the first of many announcements, "University of Iowa to Begin Using LUMA(R) Cervical Pre-Cancer Imaging Device", we think SpectraScience (OTCBB:SCIE) is a compelling stock, and more timely now that it is demonstrating traction on its announced move from R&D; into commercialization in the multi-billion dollar cancer screening and diagnostic sector. The company designs and develops cancer screening devices that demonstrate a higher degree of sensitivity than current gold standards, which result in more efficiency at the physician's clinic and earlier detection which paves the way for reduced mortality rates through better and earlier treatment. The company announced this week that the University of Iowa will be using its LUMA cervical cancer screening devices at its clinic.
