Cognos (NASDAQ: COGN) (TSX: CSN)(January 15, 2008), the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions, continues to extend its higher education market leadership, announcing earlier today the launch of a new performance solution designed to help colleges and universities drive more efficient faculty salary and position planning.

Tracking higher education faculty salaries can be a complicated process, as many college and university professors draw their salary from a number of funding pools that either supplement or replace the base salary paid by their institution. While most of this data is available from existing HR and ERP systems, the multitude of funding sources and complex rules that need to be applied to each case make it exceptionally difficult to obtain a global and consistent view of the total cost of an individual or the total compensation they are receiving.

The Cognos Salary Planning and Position Control Blueprint offers colleges and universities a complete performance management framework that delivers enhanced visibility into the ever-changing demographics of their faculties. Using out-of-the-box functionality from Cognos 8 Planning and Cognos 8 Business Intelligence (BI) - including dashboards, analytical reports and a pre-configured data model - and encompassing higher education industry best practices, the Cognos Salary Planning and Position Control Blueprint lets users track faculty salary sources, plan compensation updates and changes, and determine headcount requirements. Management can then easily develop salary and position funding plans that are properly aligned with current and long-range academic program requirements.

"Increasing competition for students, funding and faculty is forcing higher education institutions to improve their business perspective and gain much greater insight into their operations, what the critical drivers are and will be, and how to effectively manage them," said Susan Gold, Vice President of Industry Marketing & Solutions at Cognos. "Cognos Salary Planning and Position Control Blueprint enables colleges and universities to gain deep insight into the present, while also peering into the future. Armed with such insights, they can then develop plans and strategies that will help them build a lasting legacy." Available immediately to customers, the Cognos Salary Planning and Position Control Blueprint is the second higher education Blueprint launched by Cognos in the last three months, joining the Cognos Enrollment & Tuition Planning Blueprint, released in October 2007. Together, the two Blueprints offer higher education customers an integrated approach to advancing the quality of their education programs, retaining skilled staff, complying with complex regulations, managing costs, and improving overall financial performance.

Cognos, the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions, provides world-class enterprise planning and BI software and services to help companies plan, understand and manage financial and operational performance. Cognos brings together technology, analytical applications, best practices, and a broad network of partners to give customers a complete performance system. The Cognos performance system is an open and adaptive solution that leverages an organization's ERP, packaged applications, and database investments. It gives customers the ability to answer the questions -- How are we doing? Why are we on or off track? What should we do about it? - and enables them to understand and monitor current performance while planning future business strategies.

Cardero Resource Corp. ("Cardero" or the "Company") (TSX: CDU)(AMEX: CDY)(January 15, 2008)) announced earlier today that it has initiated a mining scoping study and resource definition program at its Pampa de Pongo Iron Deposit in Peru.

The scoping study will be produced by the internationally respected consulting firm SRK Consulting Engineers and Scientists (SRK) and is designed to determine the optimum mining method and estimated production costs. In tandem with the scoping study, Cardero is implementing a 30,000 metre definition drilling program, anticipated to commence in February, which is designed to deliver a National Instrument 43-101 compliant combined Indicated and Measured Resource in the third quarter of calendar 2008.

Cardero's focus over the coming 6 months will be to realise the considerable value which it believes is locked in the Company's significant iron ore assets, while continuing to progress its base and precious metal exploration projects in Argentina and Mexico. As part of this process, Cardero's iron ore assets are in the process of being transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary, Cardero Iron Ore Company Ltd.

Cardero's 100% owned Pampa de Pongo Iron deposit is the largest undeveloped iron resource on the western seaboard of the Americas, with a N.I. 43-101 Inferred Resource of 953 Mt @ 44.7% iron and 0.12% copper. Cardero is investigating the possibility of extracting iron ore through an underground caving operation and producing a blast furnace or direct reduction grade iron pellet product for shipping from the San Nicolas deep water port, 40 kilometres to the west.

SRK will design and oversee programs for the collection of geotechnical and geological data from drill core during the planned drill program, which is expected to commence in February and continue through to July 2008. SRK has also been retained to complete a Mine Scoping Study, scheduled to commence in early February. The scoping study will focus on determining the likely mining methods and will include an initial caveability and fragmentation assessment of the massive central orebody. Overburden characteristics, hydrogeology and major structural features will all be reviewed. The scoping study will also determine the range of potential mining costs, which should permit the development of a robust financial model for the deposit.

A primary attractive feature in the potential development of the Pampa de Pongo deposit is the excellent infrastructure including: proximity to the deep water port at San Nicolas, the fact that the Pan-American highway passes within 6 km of the deposit and that a paved road and high-tension power line cross the property immediately adjacent to the Central Zone and the existence of a pre-existing iron mining labour pool.

Cardero has purchased a dry magnetic separation pilot plant from ERIEZ Manufacturing Co., which is presently en-route to the Company's custom built testing facility in Peru where approximately 1,400 tonnes of Pampa el Toro 'Run Of Mine' (ROM) material has been excavated from the extensive magnetite bearing dune field and is securely stored. ROM material will be upgraded by magnetic separation to produce approximately 40 tonnes of iron concentrate anticipated to grade between 50 and 60% iron. This phase of the work programme is scheduled to commence in February 2008.

The work programs at Pampa de Pongo and Pampa el Toro were designed and are supervised by Keith J. Henderson, Vice President, Exploration of Cardero, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Chemex for assay. ALS Chemex's quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025: 1999. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by the use of international and in-house standards. Blind certified reference material is inserted at regular intervals into the sample sequence by Cardero personnel in order to independently assess analytical accuracy. Finally, representative blind duplicate samples are forwarded to ALS Chemex and an ISO compliant third party laboratory for additional quality control.

The Company is currently exploring projects in Argentina, Mexico and Peru. It is actively evaluating new gold, copper and iron projects, while continuing to maintain an ongoing pipeline of prospects.

EcoPlus Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ECPL)(January 15, 2008) announced earlier today that as 2007 has come to a close, the management team at EcoPlus would like to report key areas of progress to its investors, partners and customers. The company made significant strides this year in several areas: -- Developing relationships with multiple electric generating utilities for potential fuel purchase agreements.

-- Progress toward EcoPlus fuel's status as a certified renewable (green) fuel source.

-- In-depth investigation of potential sites for location of EcoPlus processing facilities.

-- Observing the five-year milestone for operation of the first licensee's operating facility in Charlotte, NC.

In addition to these developments, the market for renewable (green) fuel sources experienced a surge in interest this year. As of December 2007, 25 states have passed legislation providing incentives and/or requirements for the use of renewable fuels in the generation of electricity. The continued push toward renewable fuel use, and the ultimate goal of reducing carbon emissions, will continue to increase the value of carbon-neutral renewable resources such as EcoPlus fuel.

EcoPlus made significant strides in 2007 to reach its goal of locating commercial processing facilities in partnership with electric generating utilities, industrial facilities, and waste treatment authorities. Among these accomplishments: -- EcoPlus fuel will be part of a test burn by a publicly owned electric utility early in 2008. This test burn is the second test burn of EcoPlus fuel at a coal-fired generating facility and represents the opportunity to confirm the suitability of this material as a co-fired, hi-BTU source with improved emission characteristics over fossil fuels.

Looking Ahead -- 2008 With the progress made in 2007, EcoPlus enters 2008 with the expectation that fuel contracts, partnerships with waste treatment authorities, and the resulting establishment of processing facilities can become a reality. Bringing these elements together to create a commercial operating facility will require diligent effort on the part of EcoPlus, but the company believes that the heavy push toward using renewable resources provides an excellent opportunity to establish new commercial operations in 2008.

ECPL has a patent-pending, commercially proven technology that utilizes an environmentally friendly process for turning brown grease restaurant refuse into a high quality, solid fuel product. This product can be used as a coal substitute to produce power, as an adjunct fuel in waste-to-energy and steam plant operations and as a fuel for industrial process heat over a broad range of applications. The option to capture BTUs for energy that is normally wasted is highly attractive in the tight energy environment of today.
