			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Purfresh Teams with Agroasa to Supply Organic and Conventional        Producers with Engineered Crop Protectant That Combats the Costly        Effects of Solar Damage</p>
<p><!-- google_ad_section_end (name=s1) --> <!-- google_ad_section_start (name=s2 weight=.3) -->FREMONT, Calif. &#8212; Purfresh, a provider of clean technologies that purify, protect, and        preserve our food and water, today announced that Purshade®,        a family of unique products scientifically engineered to protect fruits,        vegetables, and other crops from harmful solar stress, is now available        through Agroasa in the Dominican Republic. Depending on the commodity,        the region, and the seasonal climate, growers may lose between 20–40        percent of their crop to solar damage. With the protection of Purshade,        growers have experienced increases in biomass production and        improvements in crop quality characteristics, including size, color, and        weight, resulting in fewer culls, and higher-quality, higher-value crops.</p>
<p>“Organic and conventional growers have been looking for an effective,        easy to use product to reduce losses from solar-related damage and        enhance harvest value,” said Mr. Tom Justmann, general manager, plant        health group for Purfresh, Inc. “The results of worldwide trials and        research studies validate that Purshade can be a valuable tool to help        growers improve their returns and compete more effectively in today’s        global fresh produce market.”</p>
<p>According to replicated field trials and research studies, improvements        in plant health associated with Purshade’s reduction of solar stress        were an important factor in increasing the productivity and the quality        of a broad range of crops grown around the world. In the Dominican        Republic, banana, avocado, and pineapple growers have experienced        significant improvements in fruit quality along with increases in        marketable yield with the use of the Purshade solar protectant.</p>
<p>“We have built a strong reputation for providing the highest quality        crop protectants to growers throughout the country,” said Mr. Abel        Lopez, manager of Agroasa. “Purshade plays a significant role in helping        our growers optimize the value of each and every acre by maintaining        quality and reducing costly solar damage.”</p>
<p>Purshade was scientifically engineered to provide superior protection        against the damaging effects of solar stress. Based on patent-pending        Advanced Reflectance Technology™ (ART™), Purshade reflects harmful        wavelengths of solar radiation such as ultraviolet (UV) and infrared        (IR), while allowing transmission of sufficient sunlight for        photosynthesis. Laboratory results show Purshade reflects as much as        85–95 percent of harmful UV radiation, and has been shown to keep plant        surfaces 3–6 degrees Celsius cooler than untreated plants.</p>
<p>Mr. Pedro Castillo, an avocado grower in the Dominican Republic stated,        “With Purshade, we’ve been able to protect our crops from the damaging        effects of UV and IR radiation, resulting in high quality avocados.        Purshade’s superior coverage and ease of use has allowed us to eliminate        the labor intensive bagging process and utilize our time and labor more        effectively.”</p>
<p>The Purshade family of products includes a formulation for use on        conventional crops as well as a formulation that is approved for organic        production by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) of the        United States of America and the Institute for Marketecology (IMO). The        liquid formulations are easy to mix, can be applied with standard spray        equipment, and provide for easy wash off.</p>
<p>About Purfresh, Inc.</p>
<p>Purfresh offers a range of clean technology solutions that purify,        protect, and preserve our food and water. Purfresh’s innovative crop        applications, food wash systems and cold chain technologies effectively        safeguard fresh produce before and after harvest.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GoldQuest Mining Corp. (&#8220;GoldQuest&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (TSX VENTURE: GQC)(FRANKFURT: M1W) is pleased to provide an update regarding the Company&#8217;s ongoing exploration programme on the 100% owned Los Comios project in the Dominican Republic. The Company would also like to announce it will be presenting at the AGORACOM Online Gold and Commodities Conference on December the 3rd and 4th, 2009.</p>
<p><!-- google_ad_section_end (name=s1) --> <!-- google_ad_section_start (name=s2 weight=.3) -->HIGHLIGHTS</p>
<p>- Recent rock sampling from Los Comios project returns values up to 5.37 g/t Au from silicified sedimentary rocks;</p>
<p>- Los Comios district continues to develop as new areas of mineralisation and alteration are discovered; and</p>
<p>- GoldQuest will be presenting at the AGORACOM Online Gold &amp; Commodities Conference.</p>
<p>Alistair Waddell, President &amp; CEO of GoldQuest, commented, &#8220;We are extremely encouraged at the latest results which continue to expand the Los Comios district. We believe the scale and nature of the alteration is indicative of porphyry type environment and the Company will continue to explore the district in greater detail&#8221;.</p>
<p>LOS COMIOS PROJECT: GoldQuest has completed follow up of several zones of alteration discovered on its 100% owned Los Comios project described in the news release dated October 7, 2009. The principal target called Los Lechones is focused on a gold-molybdenum ridge-and-spur soil anomaly that consists of a continuous line of 11 samples taken at twenty-five meter intervals with an average grade of 0.22 g/t Au and 9.31 ppm Mo. These samples were taken as part of a programme that comprised of 178 samples. The line of anomalous soil samples obliquely traverses a zone of silicified, brecciated sediments that have been geologically mapped over an area of approximately 800 by 120 meters. Recent rock chip sampling from this zone has returned values up to 5.37 g/t Au from intensely silicified sediments which are interpreted to be limestones. From a programme consisting of 50 rock samples the average grade returned 0.26 g/t Au and 17.6 ppm Mo from either silicified sediments or the juxtaposing silicified andesitic volcanics. One sub-crop sample of silicified, laminated sediment taken from a separate zone 850 meters further to the northwest of Los Lechones returned 0.67 g/t Au.</p>
<p>The second zone of alteration called La Guamita is located 1.8 km to the south east of Los Lechones and occurs at a contact between andesitic volcanic rocks and a diorite intrusion with approximate dimensions of 300 by 200 meters. The La Guamita zone has disseminated pyrite with intense quartz-sericite alteration with eight rock samples from this zone returning values between 0.11 and 0.37 g/t Au from a programme comprising of 47 samples. A third zone of intense alteration discovered approximately 1 km to the north of La Guamita did not return any significant sample values.</p>
<p>The Los Lechones and La Guamita zones are located approximately five kilometres northwest of the Los Comios copper-gold anomaly previously described in a Company news release dated August 5, 2009. The gold-copper anomaly has been defined by 330 rock and float samples with 118 returning values greater than 0.1% copper including 59 greater than 1% copper and 6 greater than 10% copper with a maximum value of 34.6%. Rock float samples have returned values up to 17.0 g/t gold and 1.3% zinc. The strongest mineralized samples originate from either side of a large topographic high which is coincidental with a strong positive airborne magnetic anomaly located east of the Los Lechones and La Guamita zones. The Company intends to complete a more focused exploration programme to systematically explore the greater Los Comios district in further detail and believes the area has the potential to host porphyry style mineralisation.</p>
<p>The Company continues to prioritise, critically review and explore the portfolio of gold and copper targets including those that were formally part of the Gold Fields funded joint venture.</p>
<p>AGORACOM Online Gold &amp; Commodities Conference: GoldQuest is pleased to announce it has been invited to present in the first ever AGORACOM Online Gold &amp; Commodities Conference ( <a rel="nofollow" href="http://agoracom.com/conferences" target="_blank">http://agoracom.com/conferences</a> ) on December 3rd and 4th, 2009.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MINEOLA, N.Y., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ &#8212; Kenilworth Systems Corporation (Pink Sheets: KENS) &#8212; Kenilworth reported today that starting tomorrow December 10, 2009 it will commence to offer political leaders and the public an opportunity to voice their support for U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Congressman Barney Frank&#8217;s effort to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) and support his Internet Gambling Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act (HR 2267) to regulate and license online gambling sites in the United States.</p>
<p>The live in-progress REAL TIME casino table action that allows gambling enthusiasts to play along with casino table games without actually having to be at the casino, will serve to DEMONSTRATE and MARKET to the more than 2,000 casinos, within the borders, in the fifty-one (51) European and Asian industrial countries in which Kenilworth enjoys patent protection.</p>
<p>Kenilworth, pursuant to an exclusive Test Simulcast Agreement with the Dominican Republic Government and their casino Regulators extending over six (6) months (the test period), will begin global simulcast online (Internet) broadcasts from a Roulette table located in the Sosua Grand Casino that held its grand opening on October 24, 2009. The casino is now the centerpiece in the Sosua Bay Resort at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, the largest and most populated Caribbean Nation.</p>
<p>For now, with a special interface, U.S. and foreign viewers may play along with the table players, FOR FUN, by logging onto <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rlcp.com/" target="_blank">http://www.rlcp.com/</a> (Remote Live Casino Play) between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time.</p>
<p>In the future, when permitted in the United States, viewers will wager directly on the table game. PricewaterhouseCoopers and others recently estimated that Internet gambling in the U.S. could raise nearly $52-$65 billion in taxable revenue over the next decade (starting early in 2010). Wagers will be limited to the price of a slot machine or VLT (video lottery terminal) handle pull (from one cent ($0.01) and up). With special future promotional efforts to credit net book purchasers for free playtime and ten percent (10%) immediate tax payments to local, state and federal taxing authorities.</p>
<p>In a November 23, 2009 Newsweek statement by Brian Chan, the ban on the implementation of UIGEA will merely cause to reshuffle of payment options. The magazine asserts that as many as five percent (5%) of American adult residents gamble $100 billion annually on virtual (studios) number generated casino table action offered on foreign websites.</p>
<p>The simulcast test is a joint venture project between Caribbean Casino and Gaming Corp. (&#8220;Caribbean&#8221;). Caribbean is a gaming and entertainment company with headquarters in Bradenton, Florida, the owners of the casino and Kenilworth. The broadcast is a &#8220;FIRST&#8221; for the gaming industry.</p>

<p>Santo Domingo.– The social networking phenomenon is taking over the world  country by country and the Dominican Republic is no an exception, with Facebook  and Hi5 in its top 10 of most visited websites.</p>
<p>According to Vincenzo Cosenza, the man behind Vincos Blog, focusing on the  topics of social networking, social media and photography, Facebook is the most  popular social networking site in 100 out of 127 countries, reaching over 350  million users across the planet.</p>
<p>Cosenza recently published an interactive World Map of Social Networks that  uses analyzed data from Google Trends for Websites to visually depict the most  popular social networks by country.</p>
<p>The map was first published in June 2009, when Facebook had more than 200  million users and was the most popular network in most places in Europe, Canada,  Australia and the United States. The updated map shows Facebook&#8217;s continuing  trend of global domination.</p>
<p>Non-English speaking parts of the world have been &#8220;colonized&#8221; by the Facebook  takeover, and rival social networks such as Orkut (India), Hi5 (Cameroon, Costa  Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and  Nicaragua), Maktoob (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Yemen), Cyworld  (South Korea), Lide (Czech Republic) and Skyrock (Guadeloupe and Martinique)  have been almost all but replaced by Facebook.</p>
<p>Some regions that have not been taken over include Russia and Kazakhstan  (where social network V Kontakte dominates), China (where social network QQ is  the market leader), Mongolia, Thailand, Peru, Romania and Portugal (where Hi5 is  the dominant social network), and in Brazil and Estonia (where Orkut is the  leading social network).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rep. Charles Rangel blamed his failure to pay taxes on his rental income from a Caribbean villa to “cultural and language barriers,” reports the New York Times. “Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” Rangel said of his attempts to sort out his paperwork. The congressman admitted responsibility for his errors and submitted materials for an ethics investigation. </p>
<p>Rangel, a lawyer, is chairman of the House Committee on Ways &#038; Means, which writes tax law, and about half the households in his district speak primarily Spanish. He has also come under fire for maintaining four rent-stabilized Manhattan apartments, one of which serves as his campaign office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rep. Charles Rangel blamed his failure to pay taxes on his rental income from a Caribbean villa to “cultural and language barriers,” reports the New York Times. “Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” Rangel said of his attempts to sort out his paperwork. The congressman admitted responsibility for his errors and submitted materials for an ethics investigation.</p>
<p>Rangel, a lawyer, is chairman of the House Committee on Ways &#038; Means, which writes tax law, and about half the households in his district speak primarily Spanish. He has also come under fire for maintaining four rent-stabilized Manhattan apartments, one of which serves as his campaign office.</p>

<p>New York.– Jose Paulino, a 29-year-old native of the Dominican Republic,  celebrated Christmas in a hospital bed after an eight-story fall that left him  with 4 broken ribs.</p>
<p>The construction worker was helping dismantle scaffolding Thursday at a  20-story building in Manhattan. Suddenly, a plank off the 16th floor snapped  under his feet. He felt himself falling and said he thought he&#8217;d die. Instead,  he landed with a thud –on scaffolding off the eighth floor.</p>
<p>The Bronx resident is recovering at St. Vincent&#8217;s Hospital. He also hurt his  neck, shoulder and leg. Visitors include his wife and two young children. Some  brought the worker&#8217;s favorite comfort food: sancocho, a  meat-potato-and-plaintain stew.</p>

<p>Santo Domingo.– The social networking phenomenon is taking over the world  country by country and the Dominican Republic is no an exception, with Facebook  and Hi5 in its top 10 of most visited websites.</p>
<p>According to Vincenzo Cosenza, the man behind Vincos Blog, focusing on the  topics of social networking, social media and photography, Facebook is the most  popular social networking site in 100 out of 127 countries, reaching over 350  million users across the planet.</p>
<p>Cosenza recently published an interactive World Map of Social Networks that  uses analyzed data from Google Trends for Websites to visually depict the most  popular social networks by country.</p>
<p>The map was first published in June 2009, when Facebook had more than 200  million users and was the most popular network in most places in Europe, Canada,  Australia and the United States. The updated map shows Facebook&#8217;s continuing  trend of global domination.</p>
<p>Non-English speaking parts of the world have been &#8220;colonized&#8221; by the Facebook  takeover, and rival social networks such as Orkut (India), Hi5 (Cameroon, Costa  Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and  Nicaragua), Maktoob (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Yemen), Cyworld  (South Korea), Lide (Czech Republic) and Skyrock (Guadeloupe and Martinique)  have been almost all but replaced by Facebook.</p>
<p>Some regions that have not been taken over include Russia and Kazakhstan  (where social network V Kontakte dominates), China (where social network QQ is  the market leader), Mongolia, Thailand, Peru, Romania and Portugal (where Hi5 is  the dominant social network), and in Brazil and Estonia (where Orkut is the  leading social network).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Santo Domingo.– President Leonel Fernandez Reyna celebrated his 56th birthday  yesterday. He was born in Santo Domingo on 26 December 1953, son of the late  Jose Antonio Fernandez and Yolanda Reyna Romero.</p>
<p>Fernandez was first elected president of the Dominican Republic in 1996,  winning in the second round, in an alliance with the PRSC party, beating the  late PRD leader Jose Francisco Peña Gomez. At the time he was one of the  youngest leaders in the Americas.</p>
<p>His party, the PLD went on to lose the 2000 elections, and Fernandez took on  the party leadership following the death of his guide and mentor, Professor Juan  Bosch. Leonel Fernandez returned to power after a conclusive election victory in  2004. He was re-elected with 53% of the votes in the 2008 elections.</p>
