--(www.USEquityNews.com)-- 08/26/2008 - General Building Materials industry alert provided by U.S. Equity News. Techalt, Inc. (OTC: TCLT)("Techalt" the "Company") announces that Stan's Rodeo Ointment ("SRO") and Stan's Blister Cream ("SBR") continue to experience success in Major League Baseball ("MLB"). Derek Lowe ("Lowe"), starting pitcher for the MLB team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for the past 4 years credits SRO and SBR with alleviating a re-occurring thumb blister, which he has suffered from, even prior to joining the Dodgers. During Spring Training in 2005, Stanley Johnston ("Johnston"), the head athletic trainer of the Dodgers at that time and inventor of the products introduced Lowe to SRO and SBR. Johnston stated, "When Derek arrived in "Dodgertown" (a colloquial name for the Dodger franchise) the first concern he mentioned to me was the thumb blister he developed while with the Boston Red Sox. Lowe's consistent use of SRO and SBR for the past 4 years has allowed him to concentrate on his personal performance without worrying about changing his pitching style due to pain previously caused by the chronic thumb blister."
