The MEDICAL CARE TECHNOLOGIES INC. ANNOUNCES $1,500,000 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO SECURE EQUIPMENT FOR HEALTH CENTER OPERATIONS

Partnership Will Equip Kids Health Centers with State-of-the-Art Medical Equipment

BEIJING, CHINA (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 13, 2012 – Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MDCE), a growing American company providing children’s healthcare services and Western healthcare products distribution in China, today announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Dragon Link Group Ltd. (“Dragon Link”) establishing the framework for a strategic investment through which Dragon Link would invest over $1.5 million for medical equipment and clinical tools.

Dragon Link is a Hong Kong private company and its proposed investment in Medical Care Technologies Inc. is intended to create the capital structure necessary for the Company to outfit its first health center operation in Shenzhen and, to expand its operations throughout Guangdong Province.

Under the proposed terms of the strategic agreement outlined in the MOU, Dragon Link would provide the Company with up to $1.5 million in equipment financing, with an initial cash outlay of $400,000 to outfit the Shenzhen Children’s Health and Wellness Center with German- manufactured health and dental equipment. This $1,500,000 proposed investment into Medical Care Technologies comes without having to add any new shares into the Company's current share structure.

"A substantial capital investment from Dragon Link would not only secure our equipment financing for Shenzhen, but it would also secure equipment funding for our other planned health center locations,” said Ning Wu, CEO of Medical Care Technologies Inc. “In addition, this agreement would align us with a large, successful global brand in the medical equipment industry," she added.

"This MOU is the first step toward a longer term agreement through which we plan to build on the foundation of Medical Care Technologies Inc.’s Shenzhen operation," said Fielding Sy, President of Dragon Link. “We believe this partnership will create long-term value to the customers, investors and other stakeholders of both companies," he further stated.

While the MOU is non-binding and the execution of definitive documentation is subject to negotiation, both companies are currently negotiating and intend to close the full transaction by the end of the month.

NORTHWEST BIO RECEIVES REGULATORY APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH ITS PHASE III TRIAL IN THE UK

NW Bio Now in Phase III Clinical Trial for Brain Cancer in Both the U.S. and Europe
BETHESDA, MD (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 12, 2012 -- Northwest Biotherapeutics (OTC.BB: NWBO) (NW Bio) announced today that it has received approval from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the United Kingdom (the U.K.’s “FDA”), for the Company’s 300- patient Phase III clinical trial of DCVax®-L immune therapy for Glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer (GBM) to proceed in the U.K.
This Phase III clinical trial is already under way in the U.S., at 41 sites across the country. NW Bio is now expanding this Phase III trial to make it an international trial, by including clinical trial sites in Europe. This international approach can potentially save years of time in clinical trials, compared with conducting trials in the U.S. and Europe separately.
NW Bio’s submission of the Phase III trial application to the U.K.’s MHRA, as well as the MHRA’s acceptance of the trial’s designation as a Phase III trial and rapid approval of the trial, mark the culmination of two years of preparatory work and foundation-building in the U.K.
NW Bio has already obtained Ethics Committee approval for this trial on a centralized basis from the National Research Ethics Committee in the U.K. Such Ethics Committee approval is equivalent to Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals in the U.S. This centralized approval from the National Research Ethics Committee applies throughout the U.K., eliminating the need to obtain Ethics Committee (IRB) approvals at each clinical trial site (which typically takes months at each site in the U.S.).
The U.K. has one of the largest populations in Europe (63 million), nearly equal to that of France (65 million), and exceeded only by Germany (82 million). Under the U.K.’s National Health System, medical centers cover certain designated territories, and medical specialties tend to be clustered – which enables heightened efficiencies in clinical trials for diseases such as brain cancer.
“We are excited and very grateful to the MHRA for its rapid approval, allowing our GBM brain cancer trial to proceed as a Phase III trial in the U.K. as an expansion of the ongoing Phase III trial in the U.S.” commented Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio. “There is an urgent medical need for better treatment options for GBM, the most lethal form of brain cancer. We appreciate the opportunity to efficiently include the U.K. in our ongoing Phase III trial, so that we can bring the DCVax®-L immune therapy to patients in the U.K. as well as the U.S.”

About Northwest Biotherapeutics
Northwest Biotherapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing immunotherapy products to treat cancers more effectively than current treatments, without toxicities of the kind associated with chemotherapies, and on a cost-effective basis, in both the United States and Europe. The Company has a broad platform technology for DCVax® dendritic cell-based vaccines. The Company’s lead program is a 300-patient Phase III trial in newly diagnosed Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). GBM is the most aggressive and lethal brain cancer. The Company also previously received clearance from the FDA for a 612-patient Phase III trial in prostate cancer, and clearance from the FDA for Phase I/II trials in multiple other cancers. The Company has also conducted a Phase I/II trial with DCVax® for metastatic ovarian cancer.

Nation’s Best Christian Colleges Announced in 22nd Annual National College Survey

Rome, GA (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 12, 2012 – The results of the 22nd Annual National College Survey of 1,447 colleges and universities have been announced. With the cost of some of America’s best colleges approaching $60,000 per year, this year’s list of America's Best Christian Colleges ®identifies exceptional opportunities.

The survey was conducted by Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc., an independent educational research and consulting organization based in Rome, Georgia. "This is the sixteenth year we have identified the best Christian colleges. Ratings are based exclusively on facts,” stated Lewis T. Lindsey, Jr., President of the consulting firm.

Among the criteria for America's Best Christian Colleges ®, institutions must have a freshman class with an academic profile equal to or above the national average for freshmen entering Christian colleges and universities. The survey results showed that the average entering Christian college freshman had a high school grade point average of 3.31 on a 4.0 scale, an average SAT score of 1069 in critical reading and math, and the average ACT score was 22.

According to Lindsey, “We do not use data that can skew results. All institutions, large and small, can be evaluated on the basis of the academic ability of their most recent entering freshman class. This year 279 Christian colleges responded to the survey with eighty-nine meeting the requirements."

The 2012 survey revealed that Pennsylvania offers the most qualifying institutions with nine schools, while 29 states had at least one institution that qualified. Eighteen denominations are represented with Baptist institutions leading the list with 23 schools, followed by Catholic schools with 18, and non-denominational with 15.

"America’s best college buys include outstanding Christian colleges offering high quality educational environments,” states Lindsey. “Higher education can be expensive, but a high quality Christian education can be very affordable. Prospective students and their parents should make every effort to select the best college or university for their money."

“SAWDUST” 3D TV Pilot Casts the Movie Icon Mamie Van Doren in a Leading Role

LOS ANGELES (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 12, 2012 - Sawdust Productions has signed cinema icon Mamie Van Doren to play a lead role in "SAWDUST" the first 3D television series to be shot in 3D and 2D. The pilot for the half-hour episodic drama, set within the world of a depression-era, 1930s circus, is being funded through the crowd-sourcing platform Kickstarter.


Ms. Van Doren will play ‘Victoria,’ the glamorous but tough-minded owner of a 1930’s Depression-era circus struggling to keep the show on the road. This marks Mamie’s first acting role since her cameo appearance in the 2002 Dewey Nicks film, “Slackers.” She is best known for starring roles in a number of influential films from the 1950s and 60s including “High School Confidential,” “Untamed Youth” and “Teacher’s Pet,” opposite Clarke Gable and Doris Day. As a singer, she recently appeared in a guest performance with Pink Martini at the Greek Theater.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have our ‘Victoria’ being played by Mamie Van Doren,” said “SAWDUST” Executive Producer Wayne Schoenfeld. “This will be exciting for Mamie’s legion of fans around the world as well as an opportunity to expose her talent to new audiences.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be participating in a cutting edge project like “SAWDUST,” said Miss Van Doren. “I always wanted to run away and join the circus and playing the role of ‘Victoria’ is my chance to do that. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime and I can’t wait for audiences to experience this wonderful series in 3D.” Donors to the “SAWDUST” Kickstarter campaign will receive a personalized gift from Mamie Van Doren in addition to other premium items.

Co-Executive Producer Anthony Coogan, a 3D technology expert and son of legendary movie and TV star Jackie Coogan (“The Kid” with Charlie Chaplin and Uncle Fester in “The Addams Family”) noted that his father co-starred with Ms. Van Doren in four movies. “This project links Hollywood’s Golden Era with its bright future,” said Coogan. “Mamie Van Doren in 3D is going to be a visual delight.”

“SAWDUST” producers are currently casting for the series and will be making announcements regarding filled cast and crew positions in the coming weeks.

ABOUT MAMIE VAN DOREN
Mamie Van Doren’s “bad girl,” roles in the 50’s and 60’s signaled the advent of the sexual revolution. Equipped with a halo of platinum hair and a bullet bra, Mamie power housed her way through more than 40 motion pictures, including the cult classics “Untamed Youth” (1957), (in which she was the first actress to sing rock and roll on screen), “High School Confidential!” (1958), “Guns, Girls and Gangsters” (1959) and “Sex Kittens Go To College” (1960). Her on- screen leading men included Clark Gable, Donald O'Conner, Mickey Rooney, Jeff Chandler, Jean Pierre Aumont, and Tony Curtis.

The only surviving member of the trio of Blonde Bombshells known in the 50s as “The Three M’s” – Mamie, Monroe and Mansfield – Mamie Van Doren carved a special niche for herself in cinema history; one that was very different from her peers. Instead of Marilyn’s vulnerability, or Jayne Mansfield’s comedic caricature, Mamie’s heroines were tough and street wise, yet always with a heart of gold—a dynamic combination of Jean Harlow, Mae West and Lana Turner. Mamie has also appeared in films in Italy, Spain, Germany, and Argentina.

ABOUT SAWDUST PRODUCTIONS
Sawdust Productions, based in Los Angeles, Calif., is a creative collaboration between New Democracy Productions and Stereomedia 3D HD Digital in the United States and P2P Productions in Canada. Principals include award-winning filmmaker and photographer Wayne Schoenfeld, Producer, photographer and creator of Icons and Iconoclasts, the widely heralded book that recreated a 1930s-era circus; Stereoscopic Director Anthony Coogan; and Nadia Duguay of EXEKO, an international non-profit organization and winner of the 2009 Medal of Peace.

Global Mission for Children, a Child Sponsorship Outreach, Announces the Addition of 21 Children from Nepal on Their Website

Bradenton, FL (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 11, 2012 - GlobalMissionforChildren.org (“GMFC”), has added 31 children to their website that need child sponsors. “It’s a fact that 30,000 children die every day from hunger and disease in Africa alone” James Miller, co-founder and director of marketing states.
GMFC, A nonprofit that helps less fortunate children in Africa and Asia and has added 21 precious children to their website from Nepal that desperately need child sponsors. They offer individuals an opportunity to sponsor a child for just $1 a day. This provides the child and community with food, clean water, clothes, medicine, education and spiritual nurture.
GMFC serves everyone and does not discriminate against any individual by reason of religion, age, disability, race, color, ethnicity, gender, national origin or socioeconomic status. They are the only relief organization in the areas they serve. There is no running water, no electricity and no hope except for our fulltime missionaries and they desperately need the help of caring generous people. James states “$1 a day does not seem like a lot of money to the people in the United States but it literally saves lives as most diseases that are killing tens of thousands of children daily can be cured for just a few dollars.
GMFC is personally funded by the board of directors and 100% of all donations go directly to the mission fields. Not one person receives a penny in salary; this differentiates them from almost any other nonprofit. They have done vast research regarding other “nonprofits” and found out that most of them pay hundreds of thousands and some cases over a million dollars to each employee to run the organization. Pastor Wilson Westphal, co-founder and lead Pastor of GMFC and The Church of the Restoration in Newburyport, MA, states “we believe a nonprofit should, for the most part, acquire volunteers and employees that will get a fair salary not a salary that makes in the top 1% income earners in the US.”
GMFC is a Christian nonprofit that offers individuals the opportunity to sponsor a child of their choosing for just $1 a day. They serve all faiths, colors, creeds with no exceptions. The donations are pooled together and provide children and communities with necessities like clean water, medicine, food, education, spiritual nurture and hope for the very first time in their entire lives. They have 6 full time missionaries on the Island of Uno. A remote island off the coast of Guinea Bissau and is the 6th poorest Country in the world.
GMFC feeds and medicated between 10-40 people per day out of a small, unsterilized, medical room they built. They have built 6 schools that educate 465 children from kindergarten through the 5th grade. They have also built 6 churched where they worship the Lord Jesus and teach the villagers the “Good News” of God. The missionaries arrived on the island 8 ½ years ago with their 1 year old son what they witnessed was simply unbelievable. 4 other fulltime missionaries arrived on the island over the last 5 years. GMFC just expanded their reach to a nearby island named Formosa.
