Buller Coal Project developer Bathurst Resources Ltd has gained crucial resource consents that should allow its ambitious open-cast mining plans on the hills above Westport to meet a first production deadline of late this year.

Bathurst went into trading halt on the NZX and ASX this afternoon and chief executive Hamish Bohannan told the consents had been granted and that the halt, which only had impacts in Australia where trading had not closed, was intended to give the company the weekend to digest the contents before responding.

An Escarpment Coal project website with contacts for the West Coast Regional Council, Buller District Council, and Bathurst’s advisers said the decision would be available on the site today at 4.45pm NZT, but had yet to appear this evening.

However, Bohannan said of the consents: “They’ve been granted.”

The Escarpment project is targeting approximately one million tonnes a year. Bathurs

Vanessa here from AllClear ID.  As we’ve mentioned many times before paper shredders are a key component of identity theft protection, but there’s a new “unshredding” technology that makes it easier to restore shredded documents which could undermine your identity theft protection efforts.

The new technology was put in the spotlight a couple of years ago when financier R. Allen Stanford was accused of running a $7 billion Ponzi scheme. Soon after he was arrested Federal prosecutors told a judge they would reassemble evidence shredded by his company, although it would take about two months to put together three bags worth of shredded papers. .

How exactly could prosecutors do that? With sophisticated scanning technology. Technicians feed every available shred into a scanner, and software analyzes the text based on size, color, indentation and font, guessing which pieces belong next to each other.

Even though the process is complex, unshredding technology is becoming more readily available. One comp

Q:  I’d like to sign up for a VOiP home service, but where I live wasn’t on your list of towns.  Does that mean I cannot get VOiP here?

A: If you live in the U.S. (regardless of which town), you should be able to use VOiP provided you have the following items:

1. A high speed internet connection such as Cable or or DSL.
2. A touch tone phone.  Wireless or wired is OK, but rotary dial phones won’t work.  If you don’t have a touch tone phone, you can pick up a low-cost phone at your drugstore or chain market.
3. The VOiP phone adapter, which will be sent you you by the service you sign up for.  Most services, including Vonage, VOIPo and PhonePower, will give you the adapter free of charge.
