smme (.3) SmartMetric Announces World's First Credit Card Sized Fingerprint Activated Contactless Doorway Access Control Card
Monday, December 31 2007 3:27 PM, EST Market Wire "US Press Releases "
SURFSIDE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/31/07 -- SmartMetric (PINKSHEETS: SMME) today announced that it has successfully incorporated doorway wireless frequencies into its credit card sized portable biometric fingerprint reader card.
Using the SmartMetric Biometric card with its built in fingerprint scanner Corporations can now secure entry to doorways, offices and even computer systems with the all in one Biometric card. It also allows Companies to integrate biometrics into existing contactless doorway entry systems. Rather than using the old contactless doorway entry cards security conscious companies can now issue employees with a SmartMetric Biometric activated card that will only work after the user touches the surface of the card and the card then scans and matches inside the card with the users pre-stored fingerprint.
Mr. Hendrick, the company President, said this is a huge leap forward in corporate security. The old contactless doorway access cards are inherently insecure in that if a person loses his or her card any other person could easily use the lost card for gaining access. The SmartMetric Biometric card only works after the owner of the issued card is verified by the cards "in-card" fingerprint scanner. Only after a match with the persons fingerprint will the card then activate and send a radio signal to the door locking system. The other great thing about the SmartMetric technology he said is that it can work with existing contactless doorway entry systems so its implementation and adoption by Corporations will be easy and affordable.
The company is in discussions with two of the world leading distributors of contactless security card entry systems and plans to appoint one of the Global leaders in corporate security solutions as its Global Distributor for the Corporate market shortly. SmartMetric is also working on implementing MiFare into its card and will be releasing a MiFare compatible biometric activated card within the first quarter of 2008.
SmartMetric and its Biometric Access Card brings a new level of security to the corporate world. From biometrically identifying a person as they enter the lobby of a building to controlling access to the elevator and office door, the card then can be used to control the logging on to the corporate computer. All with a card no bigger than a credit card.
SmartMetric is preparing for mass production of its card. The company expects it will be shortly in full production with a capacity of a million cards a month. Given the interest already shown in the company's product SmartMetric plans on increasing manufacturing output by the second quarter of 2008 to more than 2 million cards a month.

esmt (.02) e-Smart Technologies, Inc. Responds to Information Subpoenas From Securities & Exchange Commission
Monday, December 31 2007 2:58 PM, EST PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
NEW YORK , Dec. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- via COMTEX -- As discussed by e- Smart Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ESMT); ("e-Smart" or the Company") during its December 27, 2007 Telephonic Shareholder Conference Call, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated an inquiry and has issued subpoenas to the Company for documents including those relating to certain loans made to e-Smart from its parent company IVI Smart Technologies Inc. , ("IVI") and Intermarket Ventures, Inc. As in all such inquiries, the SEC has confirmed that it is conducting a "non-public fact-finding inquiry" and that its inquiry "does not mean that [the SEC] have a negative opinion of any person, entity or security" or "that anyone has broken the law." As confirmed by the Company's legal counsel during that telephonic conference, "we received those requests for information, we've reviewed them and we're in the process of complying with all requests for information that come from the SEC."
The Company's legal counsel, Maranda Fritz, also provided an update relating to other important legal issues affecting the Company including the Company's pending litigation in the Northern District of California which resulted from the actions taken by two convicted felons, Wayne Drizin and Michael Gardiner, and Gardiner's company, ID Smart. Fritz advised that the court issued an order prohibiting Drizin from any involvement in the biometric smart card industry, and barring Gardiner from using any e-Smart technology. The court further ordered that those defendants return to e-Smart any and all property of the Company that they possessed. The Company is seeking a permanent injunction to prevent any use in the future of e-Smart's technology by Drizin and Gardiner and ID Smart.
The issuance of subpoenas by the SEC may also relate to further efforts by Gardiner and the other defendants to damage the Company and its shareholders. In November of 2007, Gardiner issued a public release stating that he had written a letter to the SEC claiming that the Company should have but did not publicly report their own -- Gardiner's and Drizin's -- wrongful conduct and their attempted theft of the Company's property. Details of these actions by Drizin and Gardiner were made public by the Company in a November 14, 2007 press release "e-Smart Technologies Responds to Press Release Issued by IDsmart LLC ," and is available on the Company's website http://www.e-smart.com.
In response to the SEC's inquiry, Mary Grace, CEO of e-Smart said, "The SEC is dedicated to the protection of the shareholders of public companies, and as the protection of our shareholders is my utmost concern, I am grateful that the SEC is looking into these issues. The actions of Gardiner and Drizin did cause damage to our shareholders because the Company was forced to take legal action to protect its intellectual property, and experienced delays in production. That Gardiner then tried to use his own fraudulent conduct to support his claims to the SEC, we believe, makes a mockery of the SEC and constitutes another act of securities fraud, the same conduct for which he already stands convicted. The Company will make available all information requested by the SEC so they can fully review the actions of Wayne Drizin and Michael Gardiner/ID Smart against our shareholders and our Company. I am confident that, after the SEC looks at all matters relating to our Company, they will take appropriate steps to address the repeated instances of wrongful conduct by Drizin and Gardiner, and protect our Company and others from such conduct in the future."
e- Smart Technologies, Inc. , is the exclusive supplier of the Biometric Verification Security(TM) (BVS2(TM)) system, the Super Smart Card(TM) system technology and related system technologies for Asia, Africa and the US, which e-Smart believes to be the world's first smartcard of its kind with an on-card sensor and a full match on-card system and other unique technologies for secure biometric ID verification. e-Smart's next generation technologies allow governments, public and private institutions, healthcare providers and insurers, companies large and small, to provide a superior level of protection. The Super Smart Card(TM) system technology and BVS2(TM) security system can secure countries from criminal and terrorist threats, stop ID and payment fraud, along with identity theft in connection with physical and logical access and financial transactions, including telephone, Internet payment and other financial and data related transactions all while protecting individual privacy.

edne (.56) Eden Energy Provides Operational Update in White River Dome Field, Piceance Basin, Colorado
Monday, December 31 2007 1:33 PM, EST Business Wire "US Press Releases "
VANCOUVER, British Columbia --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Eden Energy Corp. (OTCBB:EDNE) is pleased to provide an update on its operations in the White River Dome field in Colorado . Eden has drilled two new wells and is performing workover operations on two existing wells in the White River Dome project.
AHU 18-23. The 18-23 well has been drilled to total depth of 7,710 feet and completion operations began on November 5th . A total of 64 feet of sand and gas-bearing coals were perforated and fracture stimulated and the well has begun to freely flow gas. High pressures in this well have allowed most of the frac fluids to be recovered, however cold weather in Colorado has delayed tie-in operations. Eden expects to have this well tied in to sales by early in 2008.
AHU 8-12. The 8-12 well has been drilled to a total depth of 8,475 feet and completion operations are continuing. The Mesaverde Formation in the 8-12 well was highly fractured, which has increased the operations time for this well. A total of 72 feet of coal and gas-bearing coals were perforated and fracture stimulated. Extremely cold weather in Colorado has delayed flowback operations on this well and we have temporarily suspended operations until the weather improves.
LF 17-21. The 17-21 well is the first of Eden's previously drilled wells to be recompleted in order to increase gas rates. A total of 20 feet of new perforations were added to the coal interval and 52 feet of sand was fracture stimulated in this well. The well has been put on pump and on December 29 was producing at about 130 mcfd while continuing to unload frac fluids. The well is tied in to sales.
LF 17-42. The 17-42 well was not producing prior to the commencement of workover operations. A total of 28 feet of new perforations in the coal interval were added and new fracs over 50 feet of sands were performed. The well began to flow on December 2nd and is continuing to produce gas and frac fluids. Eden expects to have the well tied in to sales in early January.
Donald Sharpe, president of Eden Energy, commented, "We are happy with the results of these new wells and particularly pleased with the recompletion operations on our existing wells. We've increased our understanding of the White River Dome field and the recompletion results are gratifying and encouraging. The cold weather has caused us some operational grief and set back our timelines somewhat, but we expect to have all of these wells tied in and producing early in 2008."
General:
Eden Energy Corp. focuses on large-scale oil and gas projects with significant resource potential. Its Noah project in eastern Nevada contains exceptionally rich source rocks, large thrusted fault blocks, and an excellent potential reservoir rock. The Chinchaga prospect in Northern Alberta also targets dolomitized Devonian reservoirs and its large resource potential fits well with the Company's goals. These high-potential projects are balanced by the lower-risk development project at White River Dome in Colorado .

NTOL (4.35) Natrol Nutritional Supplements Can Help Consumers Achieve ``New Year, New You'' Resolutions for Better Health (And Beauty!) in 2008
Monday, December 31 2007 11:51 AM, EST Business Wire "US Press Releases "
CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Statistically speaking, forty to forty-five per cent of Americans will make a New Year's resolution for 2008; however, after the first week in January, about seventy-five per cent of these people will give up. According to a 2006 study by myGoals.com(R), New Year's resolutions regarding health and fitness topped the list, with weight loss being the most popular resolution for 2007.*
Natrol, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTOL), a premier marketer and manufacturer of nationally branded nutritional products, offers nutritional supplements for weight control, mood control, and hair re-growth that may help many consumers achieve some of their "New Year, New You" resolutions for better health and beauty in 2008:++
-- Weight Loss Support: Natrol(R) Carb Intercept(R) contains
Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer(R) with White Kidney Bean Extract
for weight loss support.+ By using this natural product,
consumers can help control the carbs in their favorite
foods...so they can enjoy their blueberry muffin in the
morning;** ++
-- Mood Control: The stressful lifestyles and dietary practices
of the holiday season may negatively alter the body's
serotonin metabolism, which can cause irritability.
Furthermore, the shorter and darker days of winter can
negatively affect mood, which can lead to unhealthy eating.
Natrol(R) 5-HTP (50 mg) can support mood over the winter
months for a more positive attitude. Natrol(R) 5-HTP is a
drug-free, plant-derived source of an amino acid that
naturally helps increase the body's level of serotonin, the
chemical messenger affecting emotions, behavior, appetite,
thought, and sleep. Regular use of 5-HTP can promote
relaxation, calm, and greater appetite control, as well as a
more positive outlook; AND,++
-- Hair Health : For "New Year, New You" hair, Nu Hair(R) is a
complete, natural hair re-growth system designed specifically
for men's and women's individual and unique hair re-growth
needs. For consumers concerned with hair loss and thinning, Nu
Hair(R) products are herbal-based formulas specifically
designed to block the negative effects of DHT--the bad form of
testosterone--while also providing intense nourishment for
excessively thinning hair, receding hairlines, and breakage
around the hairline or any area of the scalp that has poor
hair density.++
Dr. Michael Yatcilla, Natrol's Vice President of Research and Development, says: "The best New Year's resolutions are realistic ones, especially when it comes to weight loss. The ideal way to control weight is with a regular routine that includes a nutritious diet, healthy exercise, sleep and relaxation. Natrol's supplements can help provide further support for consumer's general health during the winter months."
Natrol also offers the following helpful hints to assist consumers with making and keeping their 2008 New Year's resolutions:
-- Be realistic -- Set reasonable goals for yourself;
-- Good planning brings good luck -- Create a written plan for
yourself as to how and when you will achieve your goals;
-- Go easy on yourself -- If you fall off track one day, don't
beat yourself up for it...relax, take some deep breaths, and
get back on the program the following day;
-- Keep track of your results -- Mark down your milestones along
the way, including weekly weigh-ins and good daily habits such
as healthy eating, exercise and sleep; and,
-- Give yourself rewards -- Buy yourself a gift, a spa treatment,
etc., to celebrate your successes as an incentive to keep up
the great effort.
Natrol products are offered by U.S. health food, drug and grocery stores, mass-market retailers, Natrol.com, and other online retailers. Natrol also offers a free Nutrition Club for consumers to join. More information is available from www.Natrol.com or by calling 1-800-2-NATROL (1-800-262-8765).
