AGORACOM Maintenance Alert: Going Offline Tonight, and Friday night for about an hour

Dear Members.

AGORACOM will be updating our server framework tonight and tomorrow night. As a result our discussion forums will be down for 1 hour or less.

These problems stemmed from our recent switch to a new web host and some issues with our DNS records (the settings that tell your web browser where our website is located). We believe we have squashed these bugs and are looking forward to pushing these updates through.

In anticipation of this scheduled maintenance we suggest the following:

1. If you are going to post any long and intensive material after 6PM either tonight or on Friday night, save a copy. We don’t expect to lose any data from the last 2-3 hours but better to be safe than sorry

2. Our blog (which you are reading right now) and Twitter account will be unaffected during the downtime, so feel free to contact us at either if you have any issues and can’t reach us through the site.

Best thing to do is to post comments on our blog. Alternatively you can reach us by emailing contactagora@agoracom.com

3. We expect the migration to be very smooth but please let us know if you have any issues.

4. If you are in Toronto, or the GTA, enjoy the weather! Summer is here so go out and have some fun!

We trust the above to be satisfactory as we strive to continually provide you with a great AGORACOM experience.

Thanks,
George and the AGORACOM Team

08-28 - Cornerstone updates timing of new mining law in Ecuador ====================================...

Mount Pearl, NL, Canada: Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc.

(TSXV-CGP) (F-GWN) (B-GWN) (OTC-CTNFN) reports that remarks by Ecuador's new Minister of Mines and Petroleum, Sr. Derlis Palacios, indicate the new mining law should be enacted by early January 2009.

The appointment of Sr. Palacios to replace outgoing Minister Galo Chiriboga was announced earlier this month. Speaking to a group of geologists and engineers in Cuenca last week, Minister Palacios said that the new mining law would be "socialized"; that is, available for public review and comment, over the next three to four weeks before being submitted to the "congresillo" (the transitional legislative

assembly) for final passing into law. The final draft law is expected to be available for consultation on the Ministry's website October 28.

In the meantime, a director of the Ministry confirmed on October 22 that the Mining Mandate issued on April 18 this year will continue until January 2, 2009 at which time its original term of 180 working days will expire. Cornerstone will provide further updates as new information becomes available.

Cornerstone has maintained key staff in Ecuador during the mining moratorium and is well-positioned to re-activate exploration programs on its high potential Shyri project with partner Coastport Capital Inc.

and the Macara project with its strategic partner, Newmont Mining Corporation. Cornerstone also has excellent precious metal prospects on its 100%-owned Monterrey and Bella Maria properties.
