PETERBOROUGH, N.H., June 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PeoplesVC today announced it has integrated its stock crowdfunding site with Facebook, the nation's largest social networking site, so entrepreneurs, startups, and existing businesses can harness the power of social networking to raise capital for their company.

PeoplesVC.com has established itself as the leading stock-based Crowdfunding Portal, and is exclusively focusing on Crowdfunding securities rather than 'donation' or 'project-based' crowdfunding in which funders give or donate money for projects. PeoplesVC has responded to recently passed legislation known as the "Crowdfunding Act" which has legalized, for the first time, stock offerings of up to $1 Million from startups and existing businesses directly to the public.

"Most small businesses have never heard of Crowdfunding, but already have a deep on-line social network established," commented PeoplesVC spokesperson Mr. Noah Tier. "The entire fundraising process is more about relationships than anything else, and considering a user could easily have 125,000 tier II friends-of-friends, by integrating the PeoplesVC venture capital platform with the Facebook application interface, we have created possibly the most powerful fundraising tool imaginable," added Mr. Tier.

PeoplesVC was the first stock Crowdfunding site to open its doors to entrepreneurs and small businesses.

The Company recently announced it had created the first on-line calculator tool that calculates how much Investors can invest in Crowdfunded businesses, as this number can be different for each investor because it depends upon personal financial information such as income and net worth.

Recent reports have predicted that the average American will invest 1% of their income in crowdfunded companies, which will create a sizable capital market opportunity for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses.

The council has identified areas for research and subjected grant applicants to rigorous review, resulting in eight proposals being selected.

Two horses have died recently in separate cases in Queensland - one at Ingham, north of Townsville, and another near Rockhampton.

Eleven people are believed to have had a low level of exposure.

The virus is believed to pass from bats to horses and from horses to humans.

TRENTON When is a Republican not a Republican?

When Gov. Chris Christie put up his two doomed state Supreme Court nominees Mayor Bruce Harris of Chatham Borough and First Assistant Attorney General Phillip Kwon he insisted Kwon was an unaffiliated voter.

Although Kwon had been a Republican in New York for more than a decade, after moving to New Jersey he subsequently registered as an independent last spring.

In the end, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee rejected Kwon in March after questions arose about his familys business dealings.

Then at a news conference on Thursday in which Christie lambasted Democrats for turning away Harris, he first referred to Kwon as an independent. But in subsequent references, the governor called him a Republican.

"Before I made the nominations, diversity was all they talked about," Christie said at one point. "Then once I reached the bar of diversity, then they had to change the rules. Because Uh oh, he found two Republicans that are diverse? We didnt think hed be able to do that. So alright now weve got to change the rules."

Less than two minutes later, he did it again. "I think what happened here is they never thought I would come forward with two diverse candidates who happened to be Republicans," he said. "And once I ruined their plans, they had to come up with reasons to knock these guys off."

And toward the end of the news conference, when referring to Democrats delays in holding the hearings, Christie said: "They went, Oh no, he actually found two candidates with diversity who were Republicans. Now what are we going to do? "

A spokesman for the Republican governor dismissed the turns of phrase as a nettlesome press corps itching for a story. Yet it is at the heart of the debate between Christie and Democrats in the Legislature. They claim the governor is trying to tilt the partisan balance of the court more than his predecessors.

If two Republicans were to join the seven-member court, there would be four Republicans, two Democrats and one independent, Jaynee LaVecchia.
