NORTHAMPTON, England, November 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
New results from a recent survey by The Psoriasis Association reveal that despite progress in the number of patients having their psoriasis severity level assessed, there is still a high level of patient dissatisfaction with treatment, suggesting that these assessments may not be translated into therapy changes where appropriate. Despite an increase in awareness of psoriasis severity measurement, this latest survey also showed that more than half of patients were very dissatisfied with the treatment they were receiving, and over two thirds stated that their doctor or nurse had not discussed any treatment to help improve their quality of life (QoL).[1]
The 'Know your PASI' follow-up survey, which was supported by Janssen, has revealed that patient awareness of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) assessments has increased since the first survey in 2011. In fact, the percentage of patients aware of the PASI measurement has nearly trebled to 59%. It is surprising, however, that only 32% of patients have had this important disease severity measurement taken by their doctor. In addition, 63% of patients could not recall their psoriasis severity being measured by any other means, suggesting that they may not be managed effectively as a result.[2]
Helen McAteer, Chief Executive of The Psoriasis Association, says "The survey findings are astonishing and highlight that there has become a need for patients to be proactive in order to drive a change in therapy where they feel they are not receiving the best treatment. We strongly support the need for this change because we see that psoriasis severity assessments are not consistently used or translated into changes in treatment where appropriate."
These findings show a significant disparity between the recommendations being made in the latest National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines - that all patients should have their disease severity regularly assessed through PASI measurements, and their QoL assessed through the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), to ensure that they receive the care and treatment they require.[3]Further new findings from the 'Know your PASI' follow-up survey revealed that patients are not being assessed for other key factors such as their cardiovascular risk, which worryingly may mean other conditions and adverse effects of treatment are not being identified.
The government has recognised in a recent framework of care that enhancing QoL for people with long-term conditions is of great importance when considering patient management.[4] The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) recommends that everyone with psoriasis should have the severity of their disease assessed - taking into consideration where on the body it appears, how widespread it is and the thickness and redness of the plaques. The PASI assessment helps patients and doctors understand the physical severity of the psoriasis and provides a benchmark which, with on-going checks, shows what improvements treatment is making, or crucially, if the treatment is not having the required effect.
Helen McAteer concludes "Based on the new survey findings, The Psoriasis Association is calling for improved awareness of the importance of disease severity, and consequently increased measurement of this in psoriasis patients. We also recommend that to facilitate improved QoL, patients need to proactively request information on different treatments they may eligible for, as soon as their psoriasis severity is deemed great enough for a change in therapy. Patients should feel comfortable speaking up when they are unhappy with their current treatment."
Every person who is passionate about the care provided for patients with psoriasis in the UK is encouraged to sign the Psoriasis Mandate, an online petition calling for improved standards of care in the diagnosis and management of psoriasis. The Psoriasis Association invites signatures to this Mandate, which can be accessed via http://www.psoriasis360.com/psoriasis-mandate to call for support for five key rights of people with psoriasis:
- Early and accurate diagnosis
- Access to a specialist for regular treatment review
- Access to effective treatment options
- Involvement and choice in a treatment plan with defined goals
- Understanding and support from society to live a normal life
Estimated to affect up to 1.8 million people in the UK, psoriasis is a painful and debilitating condition characterised by red, raised and inflamed patches on the skin and is classified as being mild, moderate or severe.[5] As well as being physically debilitating, psoriasis can have a deep psychological impact.[6]
Notes to Editors
This press release was funded by Janssen.
About the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)
The PASI is a free and simple, painless assessment which takes into account how bad a patient's psoriasis plaques are[7] (how thick, red or sore they are) and how much of the body is affected, to come up with a score. The score is given as a number from 0 (not affected at all) to 72 (very severely affected). If the PASI score is more than 10, the disease is classified as moderate to severe.
Psoriasis is much more than a physical disease and can be considered severe if it has a profound psychological effect on a person's quality of life. The DLQI is recommended to assess the impact of psoriasis on quality of life.
An interactive PASI calculator (available as an iPhone/iPad app or PC tool) for calculating a PASI score can be downloaded at: http://www.psoriasis360.com/about-psoriasis/types.
About The Psoriasis Association

About the Survey
The Know Your PASI Survey is part of a joint collaboration between The Psoriasis Association and Janssen to help educate patients and doctors about how the medical severity of psoriasis is assessed. The survey was conducted by medeConnect Healthcare Insight, part of the Doctors.net.uk group.
- Fieldwork for the study was conducted from 4-26 April 2012 with a 5 minute online quantitative survey with 200 psoriasis patients that had participated in the original survey, which took place during 13 July-26 September 2011 and involved 667 respondents, 603 of whom live in the UK, who answered a 5 minute online quantitative survey
- Recruitment occurred via Psoriasis 360 website and The Psoriasis Association

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine.

Margaretville flooded again, with photo
9/7/11 - 5:36 pm
6:35pm: According to the Middletown Flood Recovery website, most road in Margaretville are passable, and things seem to be returning to normal:
Road and Street Report — Sept. 7
Margaretville firefighters are once again pumping basements in the Swart Street area. Swart, Academy and lower Main are open to traffic, but the river remains high and additional rainfall could push it onto the roadway. New large potholes have opened up. Middletown Highway Superintendent John Biruk said that while some scouring of new repairs occurred today, most town roads are passable. Road crews will resume armoring road banks Thursday if weather allows.
12:45: Above: Burr Hubbell this photo of flooding in Margaretville today. Fairgrounds behind Freshtown in Margaretville 10:14 this morning.
Noon: This just in from the Middletown Flood Recovery website:
Fire Chief Update
Margaretville Fire Chief Gene Rosa reports that while a mandatory evacuation order has NOT been issued, several people on Swart and Academy Streets in Margaretville have been evacuated at their request. Fair Street, Bridge Street and County Route 38 (Arkville Cut-Off) are closed. Water is creeping closer to pavement on NYS 30 just south of the Cut-Off Road. The AT&T portable cell tower that had been situated near Freshtown has been moved to higher ground. It's not known when it will be operational again. The Verizon cell tower remains at the MTC parking lot and is in operation.
8:35am: The Middletown Flood Recovery website has been updated with a statement from Middletown Highway Superintendent John Biruk:
Middletown Highway Superintendent John Biruk reports that water is crossing Thompson Hollow in New Kingston, the City Road near Huckleberry Brook across from the Stone School, and Millbrook Road near Ploutz Road in the Town of Hardenburgh. The East Branch is rising rapidly and is likely to cross Fair Street and Bridge Street in Margaretville soon if it has not done so already. Crews are scouting the town to locate trouble spots.
Unnecessary travel is discouraged.
8am: We do not know this from the official Middletown Flood Recovery website, or from the Margaretville Fire Department, because we can't get through there -- the line is busy and is not picking up. But people on the ground in Margaretville, including Karen Archibald, report that they have seen on the ground, heard on scanners, and have heard from the Margaretville FD that low-lying roads in Margaretville are being evacuated.

South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) Board of Directors approve its fiscal year 2014 financial plan.
During its regular monthly meeting, the Board approved the SCPA's fiscal plan for the coming 12 months. From July 1 to June 30, capital spending of $123 million will fund major infrastructure investments such as the new container terminal at the former Navy Base, new equipment to handle the increased size of ships in the port as well as other upgrades to existing facilities.
The largest single area of spending is for the South Carolina Inland Port in Greer, SC, with $29.1 million planned to cover the remaining SCPA share of the project. The new facility is slated for a September 2013 opening.
"Our public seaport system is an economic engine, spurring opportunity all across South Carolina," said Bill Stern, chairman of the SCPA Board. "The inland port will further expand the port's connection to the Upstate and will drive job creation and investment to that region."
The financial plan also projects a nearly six percent increase in container volume on the strength of new, weekly services commencing this summer and increased volume from existing services.

"At this time in my life, I'm ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn't ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."

"I get lost in painting. I can't be there. With the drawings, the collages, I can come and go. I can do other things. Painters are made differently. They concentrate in different ways, and they get pulled in. What I found, when I was a painter, was that I couldn't stop. It was like you got sucked in and, until it was finished, another thought didn't enter. Painting for me was like this terrible marathon. Once I started I couldn't finish until it was over because, if I did finish and come back the next day, I'd have to start all over anyway. It was a grueling pull."

Recent Northern Coast reviews
"We have stayed in many rental houses over the years, but this one was the winner - by far! A beautiful home made even better by lovely - and incredibly comfortable! - furnishings - this rental is the standard by which all the other rentals should be judged. Sleeping 8 comfortably - and more if you want to bunk on couches, this house was clean, comfy and fun. The air hockey/game room would be perfect for our young adults/gamers/movie watchers - and more than one TV can accommodate lots of different tastes! The hot tub is a HUGE perk and was delightful! The only downside is, no garage parking, so you only have room for 2 cars - period. Make sure you carpool! The internet is Ok, but we think that may be Pacific City more than the house. Quick walk across the street to the beach and fast walk to all the yummy places, such as, Doryland Pizza and Stimulus Cafe - that is, if you can stand to leave the house!"Guest: Katherine W. Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: November 8, 2014View listing
"We stayed here for two nights in September with our toddler and it was perfect! Excellently located just one block off the beach and close enough to walk to everything in town. The house was nicely appointed and had everything we needed for the weekend. Our only problem arose from the bedroom not having a door, just a curtain (which I missed in the photos) so our toddler was not excited to go to bed as she could see us in the living room. But that was our mistake and we would absolutely go back here and leave the kiddo at home!"Guest: LCS Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 23, 2014View listing
"We really enjoyed our week here relaxing, reading, walking on the beach, and hiking in Oswald Forest. It is a short walk to the beach access, plus some water views from many windows or up on the cocktail deck. The deck between the kitchen and garage was perfect for afternoon meals as it was sheltered from the wind. The kitchen is well equipped. The couches and beds were comfortable. If you want night life or bustle don't come here. If you get tired of relaxing, the location in between Manzanita and Cannon Beach makes it easy to go shopping or out to lunch or dinner."Guest: Karen T Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 9, 2014View listing
"What a lovely little place, clean, comfortable and quiet. Very nice neighbors too. A great getaway and centrally located for beach combing, fishing & site seeing.

K-State keeps pace in tight Big 12 race with win over Baylor
Feb 16, 2013, 9:15 PM EST
For Big 12 fans, this is one of those days that plays out perfectly.
Three teams are wrangling for the league lead, and all three play on the same day, evenly spaced so that nobody has to miss a minute of each crucial televised game.
Oklahoma State kicked things off this morning, taking a hard-fought overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Bedlam Series and moving to 9-3 in league play. They were alone atop the Big 12 standings for a few hours, then Kansas State tore up an already ragged Baylor team 81-61 in the Octagon of Doom to make it a two-way tie.
Guard play ruled the day for the Wildcats, with Angel Rodriguez breaking out for 22 points and 10 assists. Rodriguez has played second or third fiddle to Rodney McGruder much of the season, but tonight he showed the type of court vision and aggressiveness that makes K-State a favorite to wrest the Big 12 title from the Kansas Jayhawks.
Rodriguez wasn't alone in playing well for K-State. Shane Southwell (18 points) and McGruder (10) did their part, and Jordan Henriquez (10 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks) was huge.
Perhaps most encouraging for the long-term success of the Wildcats this season was the razor-sharp execution that was evident from start to finish against a talented if directionless Baylor team. Even backups Martavious Irving and Thomas Gipson got in on the action, teaming for a beautiful bounce pass and lay-in.
The Big 12 race can remain a three-way if Kansas beats Texas (with Myck Kabongo this time around) tonight. Should the Jayhawks – who have looked very vulnerable this year – lose, expect the Cowboys and Wildcats to go hard at it in hopes of leading the changing of the guard. The best news? K-State and Oklahoma State meet one another in each team's final game of the regular season.
Should be a barn-burner. As a native Midwesterner, I use the term advisedly.

Azam Ali Elysium For The Brave
- Words: Derek Beres
- Label: Six Degrees
From her work in the duo Vas to the groundbreaking Persian electronic outfit Niyaz, Iranian vocalist Azam Ali somehow digs deeper with each effort. Singing predominantly in English, with occasional flourishes of Urdu and Farsi poetry, Ali beautifully combines organic rhythmic sections-King Crimson's Trey Gunn and Pat Mastellotto back her up-with producer Carmen Rizzo's masterful digital touch. Ali's voice shines atop Loga Ramin Torkian's brilliant lute playing on "Spring Arrives," and downright slays the ear on the haunting "The Tryst." Ali's timeless voice will ring down through the ages, and this is her finest hour.

Sesame Street's Bert hints he's gay but producers say no
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
That's hardly a denial from Ellen lewis!!
Sometimes puppets can just be very good friends. I never thought I'd say those words. Just like with people though. I think it's important to remind kids that friendships can be purely friendships.
Well they do seem to have the odd spat but when you've been sharing a bed for that long it does look like more than a sleepover!
I remember a few years ago, the reaction from the Sesame Street producers was to the effect of "…they're felt puppets. They don't even have legs." Which was in response to the Joseph Chambers thing (or something similar). People can see sex in too many places. Anyway, I agree with Jim that it's important to show that friendships don't have to be sexy.
I loved this as a child – La Rue Sésame. I always knew these characters as "Ernest et Bart".
And the others – Le Gros Oiseau (Big Bird) and "Kermit la grenouille".
The American accents are so strange – hear the French ones here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXeUoMlyRfA
.. Who cares, they're puppets?
Puppets or not, they have a right to privacy :)
Honestly, it looks like Bert is Ernie's uncle or caretaker. They have a tremendous mental age gap.
But yeah, I'd like to see a gay character on Sesame Street.
Oh wow! I thought it was just the Americans who worried about goofy things like this. But now I see this "news" has made it to Europe as well. lol Good Lord! tsk. tsk. tsk.
HOW can a puppet be gay? First of all it is an inanimate object. Secondly the bottom half of the puppet is usually missing (no genitalia). Thirdly, WHO cares?!! lol
I remember the religious right making a big deal over the British children's show "Teletubbies". Remember that "outrage"? Although in the case of the Teletubbies at least there's a real person inside the costume! haha. *rolls eyes*
Seriously, are these religious people THAT desperate? That they must now pick on puppets in order to promote their rabid homophobia? Jeez….
I grew up with bert And ernie they are good friends sharing a place .
If u want to pick on some one pick on the telly tubbies tinkie winkie he is so gay he carrys a hand bag and speaks in that high pitch voice

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - The top of the Detroit Tigers lineup came through in a big way Friday night.
Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera each hit a home run as the Tigers defeated the New York Mets, 6-1, in the opener of a three-game series at Citi Field.
Cabrera and Hunter each had a pair of hits, with Cabrera driving in three runs for the Tigers. Omar Infante also had two hits with a run scored.
Doug Fister (11-6) gave up one run on eight hits and two walks over 6 1/3 innings.
"It's just a matter of getting in a groove and being able to make the fine- tune adjustments," Fister said. "Today, I was battling myself a lot with my sinker and a couple of other things, but I was able to put out when I needed to."
Marlon Byrd drove in the lone run for New York. Daisuke Matsuzaka (0-1), who signed with the Mets on Thursday, got the start but struggled in his season debut, surrendering five runs on six hits and a walk through five frames.
"He pitched good, he kept us in the game," said Mets manager Terry Collins. "I thought the last two innings, he was very, very good. He used his fastball to set up his off-speed pitches effectively. I was really, really impressed."
Hunter clubbed an 0-2 pitch with one out in the first, only for the Mets to respond in the home half. Eric Young hit a leadoff single, stole second, and scored on Marlon Byrd's single to left.
However, the Tigers pounded Matsuzaka for four runs in the second. Infante started the inning with an infield single. After a line out by Jose Iglesias and a sacrifice bunt from Fister, Jackson walked.
Hunter then hit a ground rule double to center. Cabrera followed with a three- run shot to left. He hammered the first pitch thrown by Matsuzaka to give Detroit a 5-1 lead.
Jackson added to the lead with a solo shot to left in the seventh.
The Mets had opportunities to score with two on and two out in the seventh and in the eighth, but failed to capitalize on both chances.
They had another shot in the ninth, after Young ripped a two-out double to right, but Bruce Rondon retired Daniel Murphy to end the game.
Cabrera has reached base safely in each of his last 26 games. He also has 19
three-RBI games this season, second-most in team history. Only Hank Greenberg
has more, with 23, set in 1935 ... Young went 3-for-5 ... Murphy had a nine-
game hitting streak snapped ... The Mets were 2-for-10 with runners in scoring
position and left 10 runners on base.

The deputy mayor of a Spanish coastal resort has been arrested as part of expanding inquiry into money laundering.
Josep Valls was taken into custody over claims he used a local football club in Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava as a front for a Russian mafia multi-million euro operation.
Detectives believe the network is linked to one of the ten criminals most wanted by the FBI. Four people have already been detained over the affair including Russian estate agent, Andrei Petrov, who's the presumed head of the laundering ring.
During his arrest on Friday, police found a Kalachnikov rifle at his home. Authorities believe the funds come from Russia and passed through a third "fiscal paradise country" before being used to buy property and fund other diverse investments on the Costa Brava.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/20/14 -- Midas Gold Corp. (TSX:MAX) (OTCQX:MDRPF) today provided an update on its extensive independent metallurgical test program completed for the Golden Meadows Project, which is located in the historic Stibnite mining district of Idaho. Since the completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment published in September 2012 (the "PEA"), Midas Gold's process and metallurgical consultants have focused on defining the metallurgical parameters for the Project for incorporation into a Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") scheduled for completion later in 2014.
"During the past 24 months, Midas Gold and its independent metallurgical consultants have completed an extensive and rigorous metallurgical program designed to support completion of a Preliminary Feasibility Study," said Stephen Quin, President & CEO of Midas Gold Corp. "Successful completion of this program marks a major milestone on the road towards completion of the Preliminary Feasibility Study," he said. "Overall results of the metallurgical test program support excellent overall gold and antimony recoveries from all three deposits."
Metallurgical Highlights
Following the successful completion of an extensive independent metallurgical test program, Midas Gold is able to demonstrate, to a level of confidence required to support its planned PFS, metallurgical parameters that are generally comparable with those set out in the Preliminary Economic Assessment published in September 2012. Taking into consideration the different deposits, types of mineralization and processing methods contemplated, it is anticipated that recovery parameters to be utilized in the PFS will range between 80-90% for antimony, while overall gold recovery to dore after POX and/or leach are forecast to average 88-91% for Hangar Flats, 81-84% for West End and 90-92% for Yellow Pine. Additional details on the metallurgical program are set out below, while more detailed information will be included in the Technical Report summarizing the results of the PFS later, which will be filed later in 2014.
Metallurgical Testing Details
Independent metallurgical consultant, Blue Coast Metallurgy Ltd. ("Blue Coast"), supervised an extensive metallurgical test program on behalf of Midas Gold and in support of the upcoming PFS. The test work was carried out at a variety of independent labs under Blue Coast's direction, including SGS, JK Tech, Process Mineralogy Consultants, Surface Science Western, ACTLabs, Kingston Process Metallurgy and Pocock Industrial, Inc. In total, approximately 800 samples were utilized to generate over 100 variability composites and six global master composites covering mineralization from each of the deposits with reported mineral resources, as well as additional composites for historic tailings and the Scout prospect, and representing the variable styles of mineralization within deposits, including sulfide, oxide and transition materials, as well as high and low antimony grades.
Mineralogical studies, including QEMSCAN, confirmed that antimony occurs as stibnite and that, when present in economic quantities, is coarse enough for good flotation recoveries at the chosen grind, while gold primarily occurs in solid solution in pyrite and, to a much lesser extent, arsenopyrite. Except where the mineralization is oxidized, free gold is relatively rare. Overall, the sulfide content of the deposits is relative low, with West End having relatively less sulfides than Hangar Flats and Yellow Pine.
Comminution (crushing and grinding)
A wide spectrum of comminution testing was completed on the different composites to determine appropriate crushing parameters, as well as SAG and ball milling conditions. Overall results confirmed a conventional crushing-SAG-ball mill combination as the optimal comminution circuit. The Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats mineralization are broadly similar and have similar grindability characteristics, whereas the West End mineralization is somewhat more resistant to SAG milling and may require additional crushing. The PFS design parameters (excluding any additional crushing that may be required for West End) to be used in the PFS are anticipated to be single stage crushing with a 2m x 1.5m opening 373kW (79"x59", 500HP) jaw crusher, primary grinding in one 9.1m x 4.9m 7,500kW (30' x 16', 10,000HP) SAG mill, followed by a single 7.3m x 12.2m 13,500kW (24' x 40', 18,100HP) ball mill for secondary grinding to 80% minus 75 microns prior to flotation.
Per the currently conceptualized mine plan, the substantial majority of the mineralization is sulfide and transitional material (approx. 86%), with the balance of the mineralization being oxide ores from the West End deposit. Extensive flotation test work, including multiple locked cycle tests, was undertaken on a variety of global composites from each deposit representing the PEA established average deposit grades of gold, sulfur and antimony. Test work confirmed that the optimal recovery circuit for sulfides involves a conventional sequential flotation circuit of stibnite (antimony) flotation (where antimony grades warrant, in approximately 14% of the sulfide feed at grades generally greater than 0.1% Sb) followed by flotation of other sulfide minerals into a gold-bearing sulfide concentrate. Where warranted, tailings from flotation will undergo agitated leaching to recover additional gold, while oxide material will bypass flotation and go straight to agitated leaching. Due to the high carbonate content of West End materials, a cleaning flotation stage will be undertaken to reject carbonates from the concentrates. While further value to the project may be attainable through the use of additional metallurgical processing, the flow sheet selected is designed to constitute the minimum technical risk and, as such, uses only technologies that are in wide use industry-wide.
Stibnite flotation was successful in producing a marketable, high quality antimony concentrate and, due to the good concentration ratio achieved in the gold-bearing sulfide flotation, it is anticipated that rougher concentrates produced from Yellow Pine and most of the Hangar Flats ores can be sent straight to sulfide oxidation treatment without a cleaning stage of flotation. The West End mineralization and some from Hangar Flats would require cleaning of those concentrates to increase sulfur grades to achieve target levels and reject carbonates to keep levels low. Leaching of gold in transitional and oxide materials has shown fast leaching kinetics and low reagent consumption. Historic tailings were also shown to be successfully co-processed with Yellow Pine ores and, when mixed, behaved somewhat similar to transitional material.
Antimony recoveries are forecasted to be in the 83-89% range from Yellow Pine, and approximately 70-84% at Hangar Flats, while 1-3% of the gold is expected to report to the antimony concentrate. Gold flotation recoveries are expected, on an annual basis, to range from close to 90% for Yellow Pine and the Historic Tailings-Yellow Pine blend, to 81-88% for Hangar Flats and West End sulfides, and down to 64-69% in West End transitional material. Subsequent leaching of the flotation tailings are expected to increase recoveries by approx. 1% in Yellow Pine, 1-7% in Hangar Flats and up to 17-23% from the West End transitional mineralization. West End oxide leach recoveries are forecast to range from 78-84%.
Pressure Oxidation and Gold Recovery
As identified in the 2012 PEA, pressure oxidation is required to prepare the sulfide gold concentrates for leach recovery of gold. One 4.6m ID x 32.3m (T/T)(15.1' ID x 106') autoclave would operate at 220 degrees C and 2,930 kPag pressure (428 degrees F, 425 psig) for 60 minutes to oxidize the refractory gold-bearing concentrates. To date, two concentrates from each deposit have been tested at these conditions, the results of which confirmed fast oxidation kinetics and high gold liberation, with 95-99% oxidation of sulfides achieved in the studies. Subsequent neutralization and leaching of the oxidized material demonstrated high gold recoveries of 97-99% and low to modest reagent consumption.

2014 Mineral Resource Update
As previously reported, the primary focus for Midas Gold has been the updating of mineral resource estimates and on preparing a PFS. The updated mineral resource model is essentially complete, and is currently undergoing a review by an independent Qualified Person prior to running mineral resource limiting pits at variable gold prices and cut-off grades. These estimates incorporate the results of all drilling completed since the PEA and will provide the basis for updated mine plans and schedules for each of the deposits to be included in the PFS. The updated mine plans, results of the metallurgical testing summarized herein and the results of extensive geotechnical, environmental and engineering work completed since the PEA will be incorporated in the PFS with the objective of defining a more fully optimized project. The results of the PFS are now anticipated to be available in Q4 2014, but the schedule is dependent on the timing for the completion of various trade-off studies, capital and operating cost estimation and value engineering (some of which efforts were summarized in a news release dated April 7, 2014).
Quality Assurance
The technical information in this news release has been prepared by Chris Martin, P.Eng. principal metallurgical consultant with Blue Coast Metallurgy Ltd., with engineering input from Allen Anderson, P.E., Consultant with M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation, in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 ("NI43-101") and reviewed and approved by Stephen P. Quin, P. Geo., President and CEO of Midas Gold Corp., and a Qualified Person.
About Midas Gold and the Golden Meadows Project
Midas Gold Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiaries Midas Gold Inc. and Idaho Gold Resources, LLC, is focused on the exploration and, if warranted, development of deposits in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of central Idaho. The principal gold deposits identified to date within the Project are the Hangar Flats, West End and Yellow Pine deposits, all of which are associated with important structural corridors, as well as a recently announced mineral resource contained in historic tailings. Independent mineral resource estimates were reported for all three lode deposits in a news release dated June 27, 2012 and are detailed in a consolidated technical report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Golden Meadows Project, Idaho" dated August 15, 2012 (the "Technical Report"), which is available on Midas Gold's website at www.midasgoldcorp.com or under Midas Gold's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Preliminary Economic Assessment outlines one concept for the development of a large scale, long life, low cost open pit gold mining operation producing gold and by-product antimony based on the estimated mineral resource, as well as outlining a number of opportunities for potential enhancement of the conceptual project. The planned PFS aims to optimize outcomes from an environmental, sustainability, social, technical and financial perspective.

Note to US Investors
This news release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms "mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. "Indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Accordingly, information contained in this News Release contain descriptions of the Company's mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations there under.
