Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Mystery $255 million project to remain mystery -- for now
Updated On: Mar 27 2014 03:06:09 PM CDT
The company behind Project Alluvion will likely remain a mystery for now as the project has been pulled from Iowa Economic Development Authority's next agenda, The Des Moines Business Record reported Thursday.
The Business Record said the project has been moved to the board's agenda in April.
The West Des Moines City Council approved support Monday for the project.
Documents show the project code named Project Alluvion has a $255 million value.
The yet unnamed developer is asking for financial incentives and infrastructure improvements to help with the project. Tax increment financing support for the project is expected to total about $18 million.
The project would be built in up to four phases.
Documents show the project is expected to create about 84 jobs.
City staff recommended that the City Council approve the resolution to support the project as it seeks incentives from the Iowa Development Authority.

AP News
Covidien to buy CNS Therapeutics for $100 million
NEW YORK (AP) — Drug and medical device maker Covidien PLC said Monday it agreed to buy CNS Therapeutics, a company that makes treatments for pain and spasticity, for $100 million.
CNS Therapeutics has one approved drug: gablofen, a generic version of a drug that treats severe spasticity. Covidien said the company is developing other pain and spasticity treatments. It expects its purchase of the St. Paul, Minn., company to close during the fourth quarter.
Covidien's Mallinckrodt pharmaceuticals business is buying CNS. Covidien, which is based in Ireland, is planning to spin off Mallinckrodt into a separate publicly-traded company sometime in mid-2013.
Shares of Covidien rose 13 cents to $59.90 in morning trading.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-1)@

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Jacory Harris completed 20-of-25 passes for 270 yards and three scores, as 20th-ranked Miami-Florida snapped a four-game losing streak to Georgia Tech with a 33-17 win over the 14th-ranked Yellow Jackets.
LaRon Byrd caught five passes for 83 yards and a score for the Hurricanes (2-0, 2-0 ACC), who knocked off their second ranked team of the season. Miami opened its year with a 38-34 victory over then-No. 18 Florida State on September 7.
Dedrick Epps also had a TD catch, while Javarris James ran 14 times for 72 yards and a score in the win.
The Miami defense shut down a Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-1 ACC) offense that totaled 67 points in its first two games and averaged 318 rushing yards. But quarterback Josh Nesbitt connected on just 6-of-15 throws for 133 yards and a score, with all his completions going to Demaryius Thomas.
Anthony Allen had 42 rushing yards and a TD, as the Jackets gained just 95 yards on the ground.
"They came out with their tricky offense that most teams can't stop, but our defense went out there and did a great job tonight," Harris said. "We had lost to Georgia Tech the last four years and it would've felt bad walking off the field and losing to Georgia Tech another year in a row."
Georgia Tech got the game's first score on the game's first drive, as Scott Blair nailed a 32-yard field goal with 8:09 left in the quarter.
But Miami responded immediately, driving the ball 75 yards for a score. The march took only four plays, primarily because of the last two -- a 35-yard pass from Harris to Leonard Hankerson that set up a 40-yard touchdown throw to Byrd.
Harris lofted a pass down the middle and Byrd found some space between defenders to make the catch, crossing the goal line with 6:30 on the clock.
"We knew in this game that Georgia Tech likes to start fast on offense," Miami head coach Randy Shannon said. "So it was big to hold them to a field goal. We knew that our defense would make a couple corrections and be fine. And then our offense came out and made a bunch of big plays, some big throws and catches. That gave us a lot of excitement and we knew that each side could feed off each other."
Following a Yellow Jackets punt, the Hurricanes found the end zone again. The 71-yard drive spanned the first two quarters and took 13 plays, the last of which was a 13-yard pass to Epps.
On a 3rd-and-1 from the Georgia Tech 13, Epps faded to the left side of the end zone and Harris found the open receiver for the touchdown, as Miami assumed a 14-3 advantage.
Blair missed a 39-yarder on the Jackets' next drive, and Miami took advantage, as Matt Bosher made a 34-yard field goal with 5:45 remaining in the half. The Hurricanes took the 17-3 lead into the break.
A high-scoring third quarter opened with another Miami score. The 60-yard drive, during which the Hurricanes never saw a third down, was capped by James' three-yard score just over three minutes in.
Georgia Tech, though, countered to prevent the game from being a runaway Miami win. Nesbitt had a key 39-yard completion to Thomas on a 3rd-and-9 to keep the drive going, and on 3rd-and-goal, Allen plowed three yards into the end zone. The score got the Jackets within 24-10 with just over eight minutes to go.
But Miami took a 33-10 lead into the fourth quarter. A 14-yard TD pass from Harris to Jimmy Graham came with 3:08 on the clock, and a botched punt snap by Georgia Tech with 32 seconds left resulted in a safety.
On the ensuing Hurricanes possession, Bosher missed a 26-yarder, leading to a Tech score. The Jackets went 80 yards in only four plays, the biggest of which was Nesbitt's 56-yard pass to Thomas for the touchdown.
Georgia Tech then tried an onsides kick and Miami recovered at the Jackets' 42. The 'Canes went just 29 yards but drained nearly five minutes off the clock. However, Bosher missed another field goal -- this one from 31 yards -- giving the Jackets the ball back.
But Georgia Tech's desperate attempts to reach the end zone fell short, as the Hurricanes wound down the clock to seal the win.

Dear Readers,
i stil dn bel tht he is th same guy who used 2 be one of th finest hosts n fantastic actor,but he is hardly in the limelight 2day,insecurity tends 2 come whn u c th person who started th carrier with yu gtn lead roles whereas yu r gtn 2 play ly uncle type of roles
Edited on:29 November 2012 at 11:13pm
Mr Aman Verma u have put EK on a pedestal.Buttering nd oiling her wnt lend u a role.Nd BT is the most backdated PH,get out of yr slumber. Nd actors dnt die away with soaps.
Villain nd characterless role suits u well aftr the Sting Operation.
Nd dnt blame viewers or the character.First find fault in yrself ,then point at others.
God knows why they took his interview out of sudden when there r so many female leads who r never given publicity.
Someone's so insecure about Ram.. Wonder y is he always talking about Ram only.. Whole world knows who is a better actor and who has a better fan following. Time to grow up Aman.. Love u Ram, u are the bestest..
i think he is obsessed with J factor hehe, Balaji Rocksss
Yatin is a very small minded, jealous and insecure person. He always rants about RK.
For a 40 plus individual he should gracefully accept the fact that Ram Kapoor is a far more talented and natural actor than he is.
Life would be much easier for him.
Grow up Yatin Verma.
Edited on:29 November 2012 at 8:08am
I don't much about him but his one comment is def. true the tv channels have started butting in all aspects of a show they don't let the cvs do their job the story moves the way the channels wants it to move they take good shows off and some channels shows start with a bang and then the channel butts in and everything goes downhill
he has done swayamvar n also films which are not realated to balaji mr.aman instead of getting jealous y dont u prove ur self by improving ur acting skills n get some projects??
umm what about the sting operation that had you in between the whole casting couch phenomena scandal?????
Thanx for the awesome article. Balaji telefilms rockkk
The Big J speaks! Come on man..pull yourself up! No work/fans does tend to addle ones thoughts..feel sorry for u aman!

Inside the left's little-noticed, relentless, brutally effective campaign to tear down the Republican front-runner in advance of the general election.
Tuesday's installment of the left's crusade to destroy Mitt Romney began like this: an operator chirping, "I'd like to welcome you today to the Mitt Romney Would Destroy Social Security and Medicare Conference Call."
A few moments later, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, was on the line. "Thanks, everybody, for joining the call today," she began. Within minutes, she had accused Romney of "political pandering," supporting "the extreme tea party agenda," and lying to senior citizens, Hispanics and supporters of the space program.
Just another day in the life of the vast left-wing conspiracy.
Practically every day for months, Democrats and their allies have been hammering Romney like this. Unions, party committees at the national and state levels, independent groups such as American Bridge and Americans United for Change, and the Obama campaign itself have undertaken an unprecedented effort to tarnish the front-runner while virtually ignoring the rest of the GOP candidates. And it appears to be working.
Even as he finds increasing success in the Republican primary, negative views of Romney have skyrocketed, particularly among independents, according to recent polls. An ABC News/Washington Post survey released last week, for example, found Romney viewed unfavorably by 49 percent of voters and favorably by just 31 percent. Among independents, just 23 percent viewed Romney favorably, compared to 51 percent who felt that way about President Obama.
One emerging strain of the conventional wisdom holds that it's the harsh attacks on Romney from Newt Gingrich -- and blowback from Romney's own brutally negative campaign -- that's causing this to happen. Democrats have been pushing this line, in fact, arguing that Romney is winning at a steep cost and will limp into the general election bruised beyond repair.
But the left's less-noticed but relentless campaign to tear Romney down surely deserves much of the credit, or blame, as well. In stark contrast to Romney's Republican rivals, the liberal groups have been focused, organized, and speaking directly to independent voters.
In Florida, for example, AFSCME, the public workers union, spent nearly $1 million on a television campaign meant to associate Romney with the state's unpopular Republican governor, Rick Scott, according to TPM. Another union, the Service Employees International Union, teamed up with Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting Obama, to broadcast radio ads targeting the Hispanic community in the state.
On Wednesday, the group announced it was expanding what it said was a "six-figure" ad buy to Nevada -- the Hispanic-heavy swing state that is the site of the next Republican contest on Saturday.
"There's been a lot of chatter about whether the extended primary is doing damage to whoever the nominee is," Bill Burton, the former Obama White House staffer who heads Priorities, argued on yet another Romney-vilifying conference call. (A political reporter could spend all day on these calls, at least until she collapsed from a lethal dose of overheated rhetoric.) "But I would say the damage is already done. If you look at what Mitt Romney has done just in the first three states...his problems are already enormous."
The point, noted the union's secretary-treasurer, Eliseo Medina, is not the primaries but what comes next.
"The key date for us is in November," he said. "What we're doing is educating the community to the positions that this candidate, Mitt Romney, was taking as he sought our votes. Mitt Romney's going to find this little anchor placed around his neck getting heavier and heavier."
Remember when Herman Cain blamed the "Democrat machine" for his campaign-ending sex scandal? There is indeed a left of center machine bent on destroying a single candidate -- but Cain has never been the one they were after. Everywhere Romney goes, the assault awaits him. The DNC partners with state Democratic parties to "welcome" Romney to each state he travels to; on Wednesday, it was the majority leader of the Nevada state senate calling him a "corporate raider."

An excellent upgrade over its predecessor, and a fun throwback.
The Short
- Entertainingly ridiculousness story about how Cthulhu must save the world in order to then destroy it
- Same good writing from Breath of Death VII, and more of it
- Jokes are better and the scope of the game is much larger
- Graphics are substantially improved
- Battle system is similar but has been somewhat refined
- Insanity system is entertaining and fits the character
- Great music
- Still has the problem with overly long dungeons
- Battles can still turn into just mashing A over and over; balance isn't that much better
- Still has a high number of random battles and level grinding
It's time to save the world. Again.
The Long
After the surprising success of Breath of Death VII, Zeboyd games set their sights on a new but similar RPG experience, Cthulhu Saves the World. Featuring the same goofy setup as their previous game, this one was meant to be both parody but also be able to stand up on its own two legs...er...tentacles? Anyway, with improvements around the board, has Cthulhu learned from Breath of Death's mistakes?
For the most part, yes. Cthulhu Saves the World is an excellent throwback to the JRPG games of yore, much better than its predecessor.
It looks tons better, for starters.
The script has been improved, if only because there is more of it. The story is silly but still oddly captivating: Cthulhu, the primeval demigod, appears for some serious world-destroying but is cursed out of his powers. The only way to restore them is if the world is saved, and so thus begins Cthulhu's epic quest to save the world so that he'll get his powers back and...destroy it. It's absurd and silly, with narration and plenty of arrogant, stupid lines from Cthulhu (and a rather entertaining first gag where a rag-tag band of Thief, Rogue, and Wizard engage you to "save the world") as well as his fans, a cat, and all other weirdos who decided to follow you around. There's a lot more lines of dialogue in this mix, and the absurd premise only helps push it further. For laughs, Cthulhu Saves the World nails it.
The overworld also looks loads better.
The battle system has seen a few tweaks, though at its core it is still exactly the same as Breath of Death VII. It's a turn based, party based experience, with duel branching leveling trees for each character and a variety of skills. A new mechanic, however, is Cthulhu's ability to make enemies "insane." This changes their sprite to a more hilarious (and more crazy) version, and can often make enemies turn on their own party, stop attacking, or all other sorts of zany things. Some enemies, however, get stronger after they attack, so you have to be careful.
The rest of the system is exactly the same as Breath of Death VII, so you can saunter on over to that review if you want an in-depth look. It feels a bit more refined, with battles actually requiring a bit more skill than usual rather than just mashing "A," but this isn't a tactical turn based masterpiece or anything. It's simple, sort of easy, and generally unfulfilling in the battle department. Which is too bad, because I think the battle system could really get great should they utilize it better rather than forcing the stick to the "retro" roots. Maybe next game.
The enemies also fit a weird Lovecraftian theme, in their own goofy ways.
Dungeons are a bit better, but still too long. The annoying mazes have been somewhat toned down (exception being that zombie village...ugh, that wasn't fun) and there are more of them, but it still really feels like a chore to traverse the maze where the only thing in your way is like a pile of sticks. Seriously? Cthulhu is being thwarted by a pile of sticks? Or a half-broken car? Come on. No more maze dungeons, please. They aren't fun.
However, unlike Breath of Death VII, the level of "retro" they forcefully injected into this game didn't turn me off. Could it have been designed better? Yeah, probably, but you are going into this game for a retro, NES (or maybe Genesis, based on the improved graphics) RPG experience, and it delivers that in spades. You'll have to have some tolerance or fondness for the old systems, but if that's your thing this game nails it pretty much spot on.
I'm getting some serious Final Fantasy IV vibes from the graphics.
Graphics are crazy better (get it? Cthulhu joke.) in nearly every aspect. Battles now have pretty backdrops instead of being on straight black, the tiles for the towns and world map are well drawn and very colorful. The sprites are still a bit bland, but the enemies look much better (maybe because they are in front of a backdrop now, who knows) and the whole thing is just seriously aesthetically pleasing. The portraits still don't really match the graphics they are portraying (pixelate 'em more, guys), and I swear the menus look too HD for what this game is trying to go for, but I'm nitpicking. For a throwback game, it looks good. End of story.
Music is also fantastic all around, same as the excellent Breath of Death VII, with some surprisingly epic songs lurking inside this indie title.
The final boss song is pretty good.
To be completely blunt, this is the parody throwback I wanted. While I enjoyed Breath of Death VII when I played it, it wasn't until I burned through Cthulhu Saves the World that I realized exactly how flawed it was in comparison. It's funny, stupid, and hits all the right notes for the old JRPG fan. If you have a computer it's only $3, so you might as well go nab it off Steam if this is your thing. Here's hoping in future games they refine the battle system to something special, but for now this game is good enough to keep you entertained during it's 5-6 hour length.
Four out of five stars.
|Yeah, this got awkward real fast...

We stand to lose more than we could ever gain.
Let's keep the Emerald isle green and lush.
Wrexham, Wales, UK
Michael Doran Managing Director Action Renewables (Belfast):
"Potential to promote/develop renewable energy on the island of Ireland is substantial. We could be producing over 100% of our electricity requirement within 30-35 years."
Fracking 101
Shell to Sea Solidarity
Shell to Sea activist Izzy Ní Ghraidm, in State custody since September, has been refused 'temporary release' for the Christmas period.
Ní Ghraidm was jailed for five months last September on charges relating to the obstruction of Shell contractors at the oil giant's controversial work sites along the Sruwadddacon estuary. At this time of year it is standard practice to offer low-security prisoners the option of spending a period of time at home on 'temporary release' which involves signing on at a Garda station once a day and checking in at the prison once a week. Ní Ghraidm was encouraged by prison wardens to apply for the scheme however when she did her request was refused.
As Izzy will now be spending the Christmas period in prison, Shell to Sea urges its supporters to show their solidarity by to writing her.
Letters & messages of support can be sent to:

What is $60 a barrel of Oil doing to Shale Drillers?
Lower prices have sent oil company shares plummeting and forced companies to cut spending.
British Petroleum said it will aim to cut costs by $1 billion next year.
Policy analyst Phil Kerpen said Saudi Arabia and OPEC are also trying to use the low world oil prices as a weapon to kill off fracking as an industry by making the process too expensive compared to the price of oil. OPEC has decided to not curb production in an effort to raise oil prices.
Police asked a university to hand over a list of members of the public who were due to attend a public debate on its campus.
Canterbury Christ Church University, which had invited experts to debate the merits of fracking in an open forum, refused to hand over the list, and the police request has drawn sharp criticism, with one of the panellists branding it deplorable.
More than 200 people went to the debate to listen to and question a panel that included a retired geologist, engineers, a local councillor, an analyst from a thinktank and a campaigner.
Kent police said they needed to assess "the threat and risk for significant public events in the county to allow it to maintain public safety".

Better decisions produce better results..
Fracking is not a good decision.
$hale Gas/Oil and its extraction, is today's burning issue.
Shale Gas is a modern fuel and can fuel more than you think. Shale gas mainly fuels anger in the areas where drilling takes place.
You cannot save the economy by destroying the environment.
If this is not where we draw the line, then where is?
Who we are..
Not For Shale is a Belfast based group of concerned members of the public who have come together to highlight the threat of Fracking/Unconventional Gas & Oil Extraction, focusing mainly in the Northern and border counties but also has a focus in bringing the issue of Fracking to a wider demographic.
An argument against Fracking.
In 2001 Goran Ivanisevic beat Pat Rafter in the final in an emotional game at Wimbledon to win the title.
Points to note:
In the 60's as Nuclear power came to being the new commercial industry for energy, it was hailed as the savior technology and would bring about a "Dawn of cheap energy for now and for future generations". There has been no epoch of cheap power.
This (Fracking)technology is so far ahead of current regulations that to allow it would be irresponsible.
Tax payers may have to foot the bill in an accident or unforeseen circumstances.
We are a small island.
We rely heavily on tourism and agriculture.
The UK population is of much higher concentration and unlike the USA where some states are very under populated, therefore we cannot compare like for like when talking about fracking carried out in other countries.
Gas extracted here will not necessarily mean a financial return for local people and industry.
We are trying to reduce CO2 and meet EU targets for reduction in emissions.
The use of Shale Gas could put back the development of clean renewable energy sources when now is the time to focus on these alternatives.
In event of an accident underground, it would be very difficult to remedy the fault.
Shale plays in Ireland are shallow. They are nearer the surface and aquifers than in some examples given by the industry in other places such as the USA. The proximity to clean fresh water is very worrying.
Our environment/Biosphere is being killed off by a thousand/million cuts to our symbiotic system globally. Hydro Fracturing is just another serious deep laceration to the structure that supports life on earth....
When will we say enough is enough?
As the days pass it seems the threat of Fracking becomes ever more real. The good news is that more and more people are realizing the damage this process could cause and are speaking out.
The issue here is about saying enough is enough. We must put our foot down and DEMAND that we are given a cleaner, greener, less destructive alternative by our politicians. We cannot afford to settle for any less.
By drawing a line in the sand and applying pressure on those in power and forcing a rethink on what would surely be a disaster if we were ever to allow Fracking here, we can achieve a cleaner, more environmentally friendlier alternative to power extraction, production and generation.
Those that spew the rhetoric of others in saying 'We need this for energy to power our homes and our cars' etc is no longer justifiable.
We do not want a substandard process to extract Shale gas which in itself being a fossil fuel will only add to the detriment of our world.
The alternatives are there. Only by forcing the issue and applying pressure will we see a change and a drive in a better direction.
We believe it can be done.
If enough people voice their concerns then we may see a U-turn on the idea of Fracking in Ireland.
The situation as it Stands
New proposals for Northern Ireland are at this current time being debated to make large parts of the province open to further exploitation of Oil, Gas and Coal.
No Hydraulic Fracking has been carried out in Ireland other than for minor prospecting purposes in the past.
The Republic awaits further research before moving ahead, likely to be 2015.
As prospecting looks set to begin in Fermanagh at the time of writing (July 2014)Fracking on an industrial commercial scale could become a reality here in Ireland, North and South within a very short period of time unless the people of this land voice our concerns and help bring about a halt to all proceedings.
We must do all we can to protect our countryside.
Outside Ireland:
What we want:
Help protect our natural heritage, and our beautiful environment.
To preserve and promote the Farming, Agricultural and Tourism sectors in N.Ireland and in the ROI.
We want to promote Green, renewable energy generation and follow the example that others such as Scotland are taking in this area.
What we do not want:
Conventional & Unconventional Oil and Gas extraction on the Island of Ireland.
Which includes:
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) /
Coal Bed Methane (CBM)
Coal Bed Methane is methane (natural gas) trapped in coal seams underground. To extract the gas, after drilling into the seam, it is necessary to pump large amounts of water out of the coal seam to lower the pressure. It is often also necessary to frack the seam to extract the gas. There are a similar catalogue of negative environmental and social effects as with Shale Gas. This includes methane migration, toxic water contamination, air pollution, increased carbon emissions and a general industrialisation of the countryside. Impacts that are specific to CBM include depletion of the water table and potentially subsidence.
In common with other unconventional gas extraction, such as Shale Gas, CBM wells do not produce large amounts of gas per well and production declines very quickly. It is therefore necessary to drill large numbers of wells, covering a huge swaths of the landscape. CBM exploitation began in the US and over 55,000 CBM well have been drilled in the last decade or so, mostly in the western states (Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming in particular). In Australia, where it is know as Coal Seam Gas (CSG), over 5,000 CBM wells have been drilled in Queensland in the last few years and the industry is aggressively expanding into New South Wales. In the UK CBM is more advanced than Shale Gas and full scale production may begin soon.
Jessica Ernst, Campaigner, Alberta, Canada 2014: "The truth will have its day in court."
UK Chief Scientific Advisor Mark Walport Annual report 2014 (Fracking could be as damaging as thalidomide, tobacco and asbestos): "History presents plenty of examples of innovation trajectories that later proved to be problematic — for instance involving asbestos, benzene, thalidomide, dioxins, lead in petrol, tobacco, many pesticides, mercury, chlorine and endocrine-disrupting compounds, as well as CFCs, high-sulphur fuels and fossil fuels in general.
"In all these and many other cases, delayed recognition of adverse effects incurred not only serious environmental or health impacts, but massive expense and reductions in competitiveness for firms and economies persisting in the wrong path."
Hollin Kretzmann, at the Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco 2014: "It's inexcusable, "At (a) time when California is experiencing one of the worst droughts in history, we're allowing oil companies to contaminate what could otherwise be very useful ground water resources for irrigation and for drinking. It's possible these aquifers are now contaminated irreparably."
Michael Leza, Texas - Denton resident who campaigned for ban 2014: "I'm really happy that the city managed to pull together and fight off the flood of industry propaganda and money. It shows that when people feel connected on a personal level with something they will get informed and vote in their own best interest.
"Unlike the statewide races where people seem more concerned with politics as a game that they are trying to win, here in Denton we saw a true grassroots movement drag the lovers of power kicking and screaming into protecting our health and safety, regardless of the wishes of the powerful to the contrary"
Baroness Jenny Jones, Green member of the London Assembly, 2014:
"The reckless pursuit of 'fracking' ignores the risk of contaminating ground water through the pumping of massive amounts of water and toxic chemicals under high pressure, furthermore it means that swathes of London and the South East will be threatened with disruption, noise and pollution as thousands of fracking trucks pass through their neighbourhoods."
Hollin Kretzmann, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity 2014: "Clean water is one of California's most crucial resources, and these documents make it clear that (California) state regulators have utterly failed to protect our water from oil industry pollution,"
Timothy Krantz, a professor of environmental studies University of Redlands, according to the Center for Biological Diversity 2014: "Arsenic and thallium are extremely dangerous chemicals, The fact that high concentrations are showing up in multiple water wells close to wastewater injection sites (California) raises major concerns about the health and safety of nearby residents."
Greg Palast, Journalist 2013: "fracking here would be insane, Ireland is like one big flood plain, there is water everywhere"
UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas 2014: "the government's disregard for the growing public concern about the major environmental and health risks of fracking. The decision to deny people the right to say no to fracking under their own homes is outrageous. It shows that ministers are putting the greed of oil and gas companies above the public interest in tackling climate change."
Tom Greatrex, UK shadow energy minister, 2014: "It is typical of a government that is more interested in inflating the hype around fracking than ensuring it is handled in a responsible way."
Matthew Hancock Minister of State for Energy; West Suffolk, Conservative 2014:
Nova Scotia Energy Minister Andrew Younger 2014: "Nova Scotians have indicated that by a wide margin they are concerned about hydraulic fracturing and they do not want it as part of onshore development of shales in Nova Scotia at this time,"
Liberal Democrat Mike Sole, Canterbury City Council 2014: "I believe it is important to send a clear message to energy companies seeking to drill in our area that councillors share residents' concerns about the potential risks from shale and other forms of extreme energy."
Sligo Councillor, Sean McManus 2014: "Tamboran should cut their losses and 'get the hell out of Ireland"
Hannah Jones, Reclaim the Power: "Gas will only make the climate more unstable, the energy companies richer, and the rest of us poorer.."
American analyst Jessie Colombo 2008:
Liberal Democrat MP Martin Horwood UK: "there is a huge amount of disquiet about fracking within the party"
Independent Cllr Des Guckian Leitrim: "Fracking is as bad as letting off an atomic bomb over Fermanagh/ Leitrim. We must close the door by continuing the ban in the County Development Plan. It is an issue far beyond parties or personal likes or dislikes. We owe it to those who voted for us to defend their livelihoods and rights."
Prof Anthony Ingraffea: "Each one per cent lifetime production leakage in a (Frack) well produces about the same climate impact as burning the methane twice,"
John Tootil, Farmer erects anti-Frack sign on busy road near Blackpool 2014: "I would sooner be prosecuted than have my children poisoned."
Robert Gatliff, British Geological Survey 2014: "If you look at what happens in the US, and that's where you've got to look because that's where they've drilled thousands of holes, they're not getting more than 5%," Mr Gatliff said.
"In Britain we're so crowded and we've got these beautiful areas, that reduces the amount we can get out as well."
Brenda Pollack, South East Campaigner at Friends of the Earth 2014: "This was absolutely the right decision. (Council Rejection for drilling) Nobody wants to see Sussex ruined by industrial drilling for dirty fossil fuels. If Celtique had been allowed to test for oil or gas, then there's every chance that fracking would have followed."
MP Nick Herbert, former Conservative Police and Criminal Justice Minister, West Sussex becoming (due to Fracking) 2014: "a carelessly industrialised landscape".
Wenonah Hauter, head of Food and Water Watch (2013): "Fracking is a dangerous American export that should be viewed critically by countries just starting to engage in the practice,"
Richard Davis, Durham University UK 2014: "No system is in place that we are aware of to monitor abandoned Frack well's anywhere in any juristiction"
Emily & Michael Eavis, resident at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Glastonbury festival organisers 2014:
"I/we oppose Fracking on the grounds that Shale gas is not the type of energy that we should be producing in Britain. We should be investing in renewable resources for future generations and for the health of our Planet.
"Worthy Farm is Not For Shale, Worthy Farm is a Frack free Zone."
Christopher Kassotis, PhD student University of Missouri, Columbia: "Among the chemicals that the fracking industry has reported using most often, all 24 that we have tested block the activity of one or more important hormone receptors, The high levels of hormone disruption by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that we measured, have been associated with many poor health outcomes, such as infertility, cancer and birth defects."
Sandra Steingraber, anti-fracking activist: "The science is certainly on our side, and it points to the need for a nationwide ban,"
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Secretary General of NATO - 2014 (In an attempt to smear the Anti-Frack movement): "I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations - environmental organisations working against shale gas - to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas."
Hollin Kretzmann Center for Biological Diversity California: "This is the air that 13 million people breathe every day. We need to stop this dangerous oil extraction immediately to protect the air we breathe."
Biologist & activist Sandra Steingraber blocked the driveway of natural gas company Inergy in upstate New York: "I believe, as do many of my colleagues in the sciences, that it's not safe to compress explosive gases and store them underneath and beside a lake that serves as the drinking water for a hundred thousand people," she tells Bill. "From my point of view as a biologist and a mother, this out-of-state company… is trespassing in our community."
Obama 2013 - State of The Union address: "After years of talking about it, we are finally poised to control our own energy future."

The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (UK)Nick Reeves: (Fracking) "A bonkers energy solution"
Ciaran McMenamin, Fermanagh Actor: "Fracking is the biggest issue for Fermanagh EVER"
Michael Doran Managing Director: Action Renewables
Jason Anderson, Head of Climate and Energy for WWF's European Policy Office: "Not only is shale gas dirty, it's unnecessary. As Europe converts to renewable energy we will be using less gas. Our main challenge in avoiding dangerous global warming is keeping fossil fuels in the ground , not finding new ways to get them out"
Joss Garman, Greenpeace's political director: "Fracking could mean hundreds of gas-flares burning across the countryside is more bad news for the communities likely to be impacted by George Osborne's dash for gas."
Green Party Ireland Environment, Community and Local Government, Malcolm Noonan: "We need to ask why we would go down the route of relying on a risky and polluting industry when we have other cleaner and more sustainable energy supplies available to us?"
Nick Grealy 'one of the leading advocates of shale gas in Europe'
–Do you have a favorite motto or saying?
Shale gas won't change everything. It's much more important than that.
Mike Young, head of the Geological Survey
"I don't think we know enough now to know that it is safe"
Alex Attwood, former Environment Minister, SDLP : "i believe that renewable energy could provide the single biggest economic opportunity for the entire island"...
..." the North could become a world leader in Carbon reduction"
Sinn Féin's spokespersons on Energy in the Oireachtas, Michael Colreavy TD (Sligo/North Leitrim) & in the Assembly Phil Flanagan MLA (Fermanagh & South Tyrone)
"Fracking needs to be banned in Ireland and Sinn Féin will continue to stand with those opposed to this dangerous method of gas exploration across the country."
Terry Engelder Penn State Professor of Geoscience
"This [fracking] is a new technology. The gas industry is learning as they go along and we need to give them a chance to get it right."
Simon Hughes Liberal Democrat (UK)"The best way to get out of the red (national debt) is to go green.."
Prime Minister David Cameron(uk): "I want this to be the greenest government ever."
Journalist/Film Maker Terry Phelim: "If Ireland doesn't embrace Fracking, Ireland deserves the recession and much more"
Dr Aedin McLoughlin: "This industry is dirty. It causes land, air and water pollution wherever it operates throughout the world"
Simon Henry Shell's Chief Financial Officer: "The Fracking process would have a significant impact on nearby communities" (due to population proximity in UK/Europe as to the USA)
John Hodgson Blackpool/Poulton-le-Fylde resident(UK): "The whole house shook as if a lorry had run into the house" (during a frack induced quake)
Alex Attwood SDLP MLA and former Environment Minister (uk): "To simply adopt an approach that if gas exists in this form underground, for example in Fermanagh, it should be extracted, is a risk. This is a narrow approach. The right approach is to ask do we want to or need to extract the gas and can it be done safely?"
Eamon Ryan Green Party (ie): "We should set up a forum where Engineers and Scientists from both sides of the argument can present their analysis on Fracking"
Arlene Foster DUP MLA(uk): "Over the next four years i want to see an extension of the natural gas network throughout N.Ireland.. and yes, i do have to declare an interest - i do live in a house in Brookborough which may or may not be on the line of the new gas network"
Phil Flanagan Sinn Fein Fermanagh and Tyrone MLA(uk): (Arlene Foster) "Her complete lack of knowledge of the impact of Fracking will have here astounds me"
Phil Hogan, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government(ie):
"my objective is to make Ireland an environmental leader."

Arelene Foster, DUP DETI Minister " (the new 12 million 2012 invest NI project.. ) will help grow the green economy"
EU Commissioner Gúnther Oettinger " There should be no Fracking for 10 years" (he believed no decisions should be taken until the environmental impact of fracking was established and that could take between five and ten years) 29-9-2012
Tim Fox, IME: "UK shale gas could make a helpful contribution to the UK's energy security, but it is not the silver bullet many claim it is. It is unlikely to have a major impact on energy prices. A general over-reliance on gas will render the UK a hostage to volatile global energy markets, with or without UK shale gas."
John Cridland CBI director general: (which represents over 250,000 UK businesses in UK) "Look at European gas price projections. They all disagree on the number, but they all agree on the direction – up. European shale will help, but not on a US scale."
Volker Beckers, chief executive of RWE npower, one of the UK's big six energy companys: "There will be very little volumes of shale gas in the UK. We have more major [energy] problems to solve."
Tony Bosworth of FOE "Regulation could make fracking "safer, but I'm not sure whether it can make it safe"
Lithuanian Environmental Protection Committee "The government should halt shale-gas exploration and production until competent European Union institutions give an opinion" on the safety of related technologies.
Simon Thorpe, the CEO of the Ommegang Brewery USA "it's all about the quality of the water. The technology surrounding fracking is still not fully developed. Accidents are happening. Places are getting polluted."
Jonathan Stern, of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies: (In 5 years time Europe could be producing)"very modest amounts of shale gas." Those countries might be Poland, Britain and perhaps Romania or Bulgaria. But "if there are any environmental problems, the whole thing will stop and not restart"
Peter Stewart is chief energy analyst at Interfax, publisher of Natural Gas Daily and Global Gas Analytics: "A well-crafted energy (UK Shale Gas debate) policy should do more than keep the lights on. It should invest in affordable energy with minimal damage to the planet."
Boris Johnston (UK Conservative) "If reserves of shale can be exploited in London we should leave no stone unturned, or unfracked, in the cause of keeping the lights on"
David Hughes Post-Carbon Institute geologist : "the long-standing decline of US oil and gas production", this can only:
"It's a big issue for the industry, i have called for greater transparency. That is the only way i have an honest conversation with the public"
John Hofmeister Former Shell Oil Co President: "As an example, some industry leaders have suggested that the Fracking boom has never caused water pollution. While the vast majority of wells do not have a problem, everybody knows that some wells go bad."
Vanessa Vine, founder of Founder of Frack Free Sussex: – living four miles from the Balcombe drill site said:
"For two years we've tried everything we can think of. We've created ultimately futile petitions, inundated social media and taken a UK-wide deputation to Number 10 – with an incisive and inarguable letter calling for an outright ban on unconventional hydrocarbon exploitation in Britain. Cameron could not answer it, because the truths presented were indisputable – so he ignored it".
John Martin, RSPB: "Shale gas exploration and extraction should only be allowed within a strict regulatory and policy framework that is fit for purpose, and in Northern Ireland this does not exist."
Michael Fallon, Energy minister, Conservative: "It's from Dorset all the way through Hampshire, Sussex – East Sussex, West
Simon Hamilton ,DUP Northern Ireland: "We are at the end of every pipeline in the world and security of supply isn't there, So, there is an attraction with what is available in terms of shale gas. What we need is not to have a knee-jerk reaction in either direction, not rule it in but equally not rule it out, and make sure all concerns about the impact on the environment are dealt with."
Mark Durkan, SDLP Northern Ireland Environment Minister: "If and when any fracking planning application comes in, it will be for me to decide, not David Cameron"
President Barack Obama: "We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years, and my administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy."
Caroline Lucas: Green Party England (speaking at Balcombe) "When the democratic deficit is so enormous, people are left with very little option but to take peaceful, non-violent direct action."
Steve Hvozdovich, Marcellus Shale coordinator for Clean Water Action in Pennsylvania: "Whether you are the homeowner trying to get homeowners insurance or the neighbor [to a fracking site] who is trying to refinance, there are just so many tentacles to this. I don't think people are grasping all the impacts of natural gas drilling (on real estate)."
Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) congressman north and west Denver."I think a lot of folks nationally are watching this case," noted that my home district fracking leads to a "haircut on a property's values."
David Smythe, Emeritus Professor of Geophysics at Glasgow University.states: "Previously non-seismic zones can be triggered by the injection of fluids into wells, but it is not yet known whether fracking in an area like the Weald, which is cut by many faults, could trigger shocks."
Andrew Pendleton, head of campaigns for FOE UK: "It's little wonder communities don't trust the Government over fracking when their rights are so clearly being bulldozed aside to smooth the path for the big fracking firms,"
Padraig Pearse Mc Shane, Independent Councillor, Moyle, Co. Antrim, N.Ireland: "Rathlin Energy confirmed that no major employment opportunities would present themselves and the programme of work they envisaged would not be labour intensive. In addition, drilling rigs and specialised crews would all be brought in from overseas to the Ballinlea site. Neither would the company be offering training to enhance the prospect of job creation within the local community".
Sir David King, former chief scientific adviser to the UK government: "It will not be a game-changer here as it has been in the US," he told the Guardian in his first interview since his new appointment. "You will not be able to do that and there would be enormous environmental consequences."
Michelle O'Neill Sinn Fein, Agricultural Minister: "During my time as Minister of this Department I would not agree to fracking taking place on land owned by my department."
Tony Bosworth, energy campaigner at Friends of the Earth: said: "People in Sussex have seen the impact of fracking in the US and the news that one of America's biggest fracking companies (Halliburton)could be coming to the area will make them even more ready to fight drilling plans."
Shell CEO Peter Voser:
Andrew Pemberton, a Lancashire dairy farmer: "I'm supplying milk to 3,000 households, and if for any reason my water became contaminated, my business would be ruined and my livelihood would be destroyed, So, too, would the livelihoods of the 16 families who work for me. Fracking is dangerous and short-sighted. We should be keeping this gas in the ground,"
Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland): "Major fossil reserves must be left in the ground"
Dame Helen Ghosh, the National Trust's Director General: "I'm not saying we will never allow fracking on our land.
Father Vasile Laiu, Orthodox priest from city of Barlad local opponents of fracking at Romanian Pungesti protest:
"Can we live without water?"
"Can we live without Chevron?"
Balcombe Resident and former tory voter, ex-nurse and grandmother Bernadette, nicknamed 'Knitting Nana': "those in government don't care for us; there is no democracy. All they care about is power and greed."
Kat Goldberg-Resident of LAFAYETTE, Colorado: "I'm not keen on it. I have three kids and I'd like the environment to be sustainable for my kids and their kids. I don't think fracking is a good thing to be doing."
Robert Van Wyngaarden, Golder Associates: "for Shale Gas drilling to be viable financially, one or two Frack pads are impractical. You need 400+ well's for the industry sector to work in a specific area"
Michael Fallon UK Conservatives: "There are genuine concerns (Fracking), but there are also myths and we are tackling them,"
Water UK (2013): ( which represents all major UK water and wastewater service suppliers) "(Fracking)There are risks but they are all risks that can be dealt with."
Michael Fallon UK Conservative Energy Minister: "There are genuine concerns, but there are also myths and we are tackling them."
Tony Bazley, Tamboran (2013): "dedicated to safe and responsible development, to minimise social environmental impacts. Against, are those wanting no fossil fuels at all to be used or local disturbance of any sort. For, are those wanting jobs and a vibrant economy who know it can be done safely, with lower CO2 emissions and not harming the environment. It will not harm tourism"
Cliff Frolich, earthquake researcher, University of Texas: i'd say it certainly looks very possible that the earthquakes are related to injection wells," (16 earthquakes in Texas Nov & Dec 2013)
Keith Krayer, Texan resident: "When they frack, they inject all that water and chemicals into the ground, then they pump it back up and separate the gas from the water, then they have to dispose of that water 13,000 feet down,"
John Browne, former CEO of BP; current CEO of Cuadrilla: " I have never seen any hydrocarbon resource developed without some sort of opposition."
Cliff Willmeng, an anti-fracking activist talking about the 2013 Colorado Flooding in Frack affected Weld & Boulder Countys: "In terms of damage, I've never seen anything like it."
Meghan O'Sullivan, Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Director, Geopolitics of Energy Project, Harvard Kennedy School & Former Diplomat to Northern Ireland: "in today's world, what energy resources are developed depends as much on political factors as it does on geology and technology."
Meghan O'Sullivan, Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Director, Geopolitics of Energy Project, Harvard Kennedy School & Former Diplomat to Northern Ireland: "The relative fortunes of the United States, Russia, and China—and their ability to exert influence in the world—are tied in no small measure to global gas developments and vice versa."
Russell Brand - UK Comedian: "They don't want you talking about fracking, they want you talking about twerking"
Jessica Ernst, Canadian, Albertan environmental campaigner: "I have now seen what justice is in Alberta and I have no faith in it, i see that as no reason to give up and no reason not to file an appeal. The breach of my Charter Rights is important to all Canadians and this fracking industry wants to take away all of our rights and so does the Harper government. When you are at war -- you don't throw down your shield and sword and run. You have to defend your constitutional rights. I think we are going to win. It's just so important."
Carmen Langer, Albertan rancher in Peace River: "They said I was a threat and that I wasn't a nice guy. I said how would you feel if you had your fucking head in a bitumen tank for a while. You have to stand up to bullies to defend your rights in this province."
Noel McMeel ,Head Chef - The Lough Erne Resort Fermanagh: "Growing up on a farm, as a country boy, my love was always in cooking. I do not think I will ever do anything else but cook. Fermanagh holds, very much the best suppliers, from the likes of my venison suppliers, to my meats suppliers, and my chicken suppliers. This is the most fruitful county there is."
Deputy leader and cabinet member for environment, Cllr Clyde Loakes UK Coalition Gov Jan 2014, said: "In Waltham Forest we have no intention of allowing fracking. Regardless of what financial benefits might be on offer, we will not compromise the safety and wellbeing of our current or future residents."
Lawrence Carter, climate campaigner at Greenpeace, said of the new polling (falling support for Shale): "David Cameron appears to have lost his knack for PR. After a concerted push from the prime minister to sell shale gas to the public, including financial bungs to local councils, his net return is that fewer people support fracking. It is time he listened to the voices of local communities and abandoned his plans to industrialise our countryside with this dirty, risky and controversial practice and instead backed the home insulation programmes and clean energy sources that can tackle rising bills and protect the environment."
John Rumpler, senior attorney for Environment America: "Fracking is taking a terrible toll on our environment and our health," "People should see and hear the truth before they find themselves living next door to dirty drilling."
Economics Minister Henk Kamp: "The (Fracking) earthquake problem is a problem for all the Dutch"
Christopher Boxall, Director Fundamental Asset Management: There is insufficient proppant (Sand, Water, Chemicals) in Northern Ireland to enable Shale Gas to be extracted. The UK will never be able to build out this type of infrastructure to support and i suspect Ireland will be the same"
Achim Steiner (UNEP) Top Environmental Official: (Shale Gas) "If it is used as a means of not investing in the transition to a renewable energy economy then I think it will become a liability in our struggle to meet climate change targets over this century,"
Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson: (Fracking Regulation) "This type of dysfunctional regulation is holding back the American economic recovery, growth, and global competitiveness," he said in 2012. ( Tillerson then in early 2014 joined a lawsuit that cites fracking's consequences in order to block the construction of a 160-foot water tower next to his and his wife's Texas home. )
Calvin Tillman, Former Mayor of Dish Texas: This industry is not being responsible and respectful.
Malcolm Finney, honorary secretary of the Garrison and Lough Melvin Fishing Association Fermanagh, Northern Ireland:
Adam Scow, California's director of Food & Water Watch: "We congratulate the Los Angeles City Council for supporting the L.A. fracking moratorium motion (early 2014), a strong step toward protecting the people of Los Angeles from severe health and environmental impacts,"
Liz Crosson, executive director of Los Angeles Waterkeeper: "We don't know all of the chemicals oil companies are exposing us to when they frack in our neighborhoods, but we know enough to know we don't want them in our air or in our water."
Greens NSW, Australia MP Jeremy Buckingham: (Water contaminated with Uranium by Santos) "Here is definitive proof that unconventional gas, such as coal seam gas, pollutes aquifers with extremely toxic elements,"
Joe Cartwright, Shell Professor of Earth Sciences at Oxford university (2014): "The UK is highly faulted by comparison to a typical North American shale area like Marcellus or Eagle Ford, our areas are intrinsically more complex."
Max Keiser Ex Trader/Economist: Fracking is about economic catastrophe not development!
UK Dj Dave Haslam (Hacienda Manchester): "We're a long way from fracking being proven to be safe. Pursuit of profit is the only thing driving this and I don't think the environment should be put at risk as a result. There is plenty of evidence to say it can cause chemical contamination of water supplies and contamination of the atmosphere. "But it's okay for the government to give the city council a bit of money to make sure it happens. Something seems very wrong here. I'm just an ordinary council tax payer.
Martin Salter, National Campaign Coordinator for the Angling Trust UK (2014): (85% of the worlds chalk streams are located in England) "How can we lecture countries like Brazil, Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Congo on their lack of care of the world's rainforests when our own stewardship of the majority of the world's chalk streams is so poor?"
Harry Huyton, head of energy and climate change RSPB 2014: "We have found that there are serious potential risks to the environment from fracking"
Vivienne Westwood, campaigner and fashion designer: "Don't sell your soul to the devil. You're a criminal. Other people's lives are at stake as well as your own."
Owen Paterson, UK Conservative Environment Secretary: "I would like to see shale gas exploited all over rural parts of the UK. The opportunities here are enormous."
Vinnie Jones, Welsh Actor: "Fracking will increase the risk of pollution and that will be bad for wildlife, If you value these places you should not allow that to happen"
Professor Richard Davies, Durham University: "The research confirms that well failure in hydrocarbon wells is an issue and that publicly available data in Europe on this seems to be sparse,"
Harvey Hilderbran, Republican Central Texas state Rep: "I believe if you're anti-oil and gas, you're anti-Texas,"
Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson (on the Shale boom): "We are all losing our shirts today. We're making no money.
Economist Professor Ottmar Edenhofer,(IPCC): "It doesn't cost the world to save the planet,"
Campaigner Brenda Pollack (Thursday 17 April 2014) on the trial of Green Party MP Caroline Lucas: "The court has taken the right decision – it should be fracking on trial, not those campaigning to stop it. "
Louis Allstadt, former executive vice president Mobil Oil: "Making fracking safe is simply not possible, not with the current technology, or with the inadequate regulations being proposed,"
MEP Helmut Scholz GUE/NGL :"The ISDS mechanism is totally inacceptable because it allows transnational corporations to elude the normal jurisdiction of the countries in which they invest, and it ignores the necessity for the state to keep policy space to apply social and environmental rules"
Vanessa Vine, BIFF: "If you see a job it's yours. If you have an idea, implement it"
Lynn Helms, Head of the state Department Mineral Resources, North Dakota: "This [leak - Frack blowOut] is a large one and also a health and human risk, it's a big one,"
Louis Allstadt, retired Executive Vice President of Mobil: "Making fracking safe is simply not possible.."
Dart Energy's John McGoldrick told shareholders: "shale gas [under] where all the Man Utd football players live (Greater Manchester)" was worth billions".
[Shell to Sea] Mick Wallace, Dáil, submission Garda Amendment Bill 2014: "The citizen has a right to protest peacefully, but that is not what happened at Rossport, where democracy was suspended to facilitate the interests of Shell. Civil liberties were eroded, and repression, criminality and a lack of accountability became the order of the day. The people of Corrib deserve justice. The people of Ireland also deserve justice"
US Campaigner Liz Arnold 2014: "There is no evidence in the US to prove fracking is done safely."

Commerce Resources Corp. Provides Update On 2012 Programs For The Blue River Tantalum-Niobium Project, Blue River, British Columbia
- Completion of Phase 2 metallurgical test work to optimize the use of desliming and carbonate rejection flotation, as well as chemical reagent dosages to increase the efficiency of rougher/cleaner Ta/Nb flotation and to finalize the preliminary process flow sheet developed in Phase 1 which formed the basis of the PEA.
- Mineral Resource update underway at AMEC to include results of exploration in 2012, as well as 34 additional drill holes (totalling 8,715 m) of infill drilling completed in 2011.
VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE, FSE: D7H, OTCQX: CMRZF) (the "Company" or "Commerce") is pleased to provide an update on recent work completed at its Blue River Project since release of the National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource update (effective date June 22, 2012 - see Commerce news release dated July 6, 2012) for the Upper Fir Deposit.
The geological, engineering, metallurgical and environmental programs carried out to date in 2012 broadly support the advancement of exploration and development at the Company's wholly owned Blue River Project, east-central British Columbia. These results continue to strengthen the foundation of broadly based technical knowledge developed in 2011, and following completion of the mineral resource update currently in progress by independent consultants AMEC Americas Ltd. ("AMEC"), will be sufficient to support the initiation of a pre-feasibility study (PFS).
The Blue River Property is host to the Upper Fir Tantalum and Niobium Deposit, which was discovered in 2002 and which has been the focus of the Company's activities since 2005. In fiscal 2012 year to date Commerce has spent approximately $3.7M (to October 31, 2012).Metallurgical Test Work in 2012 Metallurgical work in 2012 has continued to update and optimize the process flow sheet described in the NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study completed by AMEC on the Blue River Project (effective date of September 29, 2011; see Commerce news release dated November 3, 2011). The process flow sheet for the recovery of the tantalum and niobium described in the PEA was developed in 2011 based on Phase 1 studies and is available on the corporate website at http://www.commerceresources.com. In April 2012, Commerce commissioned Acme Metallurgical Ltd ("Acme Met") of Vancouver, BC to initiate a Phase 2 investigation. This was designed to follow-up the successful results of the earlier program which had tested flotation as the preferred method to remove the larger portion of fine slimes and carbonatite minerals early in the process. Subsequent process steps could then focus on material containing Ta and Nb. The objectives of the Phase 2 testing were three fold: 1). to optimize the use of desliming and carbonate rejection flotation; 2). to optimize chemical reagent dosages to increase the efficiency of rougher/cleaner Ta/Nb flotation; and 3). to finalize the process flow sheet developed in Phase 1 which was based on composite samples BS-2F and BS 2G. All Phase 2 work was conducted on these same composites and all tests were conducted at a grind size of 80% passing 130 microns.

Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDRA)
The Company is engaged in the discovery and development of synthetic DNA and RNA-based compounds for the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and asthma/allergies, and for use as vaccine adjuvants.
In October the lead compound IMO2055 failed a phase II trial for renal cell carcinoma. What kept the stock from tanking more than 25% on the bad news, considering that the whole pipeline consists of related TLR9 agonists and antagonists? Probably the significant number of collaborations with big pharma which has kept the quarterly burn close to zero. A company which doesn't lose money will never go out of business, right? But naturally, when trials fail the next thing to go will be the partnerships. When collaboration revenues vanish then the burn will appear. And then the stock will drop.
Idera has been bouncing like a rubber ball. I'll rate it again once it exits the mid-zone of recent range.
