First Canadian American Holding PinkSheet Promotion
First Canadian American Holding Corporation (OTC: FCDH) announced today that it has sold its interests in Kachina Gold Corporation and Terrablock Development JV Inc. to Suncrest Energy Inc. In a move that was wildly anticipated, First Canadian has decided to divest itself of some non-core assets to focus entirely on The Fight Network. The exact terms of the sale were not disclosed but it was a straight sale of assets for stock in Suncrest Energy Inc. The value of the Suncrest stock that was acquired by First Canadian equates to about $0.20 per share of value to each and every share of First Canadian held by our current shareholders. "This is a huge windfall for the company and our shareholders," states Sandy Winick of First Canadian. This is a very questionable press release as there is not much documented support for why the value of the Suncrest stock equates to about $.20 per share of value for each share currently held. Also, the company completed a 10,000 to 1 reverse split in March 2005. After this, the company had 30 million shares, but eight months later diluted to an outstanding share count of approximately 2.5 billion. At best, unless the company can substantiate the news, First Canadian is no more than a mere PinkSheet promotion.

Rumsfeld Likens Chavez's Rise to Hitler's
1 hour, 13 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld likened Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Adolf Hitler, reflecting continuing tension in relations between the United States and the Latin American government.
Rumsfeld, asked during a National Press Club appearance Thursday about indications of a deteriorating general relationship between Washington and parts of Latin America, said he believes such a characterization "misses the mark."
"We saw dictatorships there. And then we saw most of those countries, with the exception of Cuba, for the most part move towards democracies," he said. "We also saw corruption in that part of the world. And corruption is something that is corrosive of democracy."
The secretary acknowledged that "we've seen some populist leadership appealing to masses of people in those countries. And elections like Evo Morales in Bolivia take place that clearly are worrisome."
"I mean, we've got Chavez in Venezuela with a lot of oil money," Rumsfeld added. "He's a person who was elected legally — just as Adolf Hitler was elected legally — and then consolidated power and now is, of course, working closely with Fidel Castro and Mr. Morales and others."
There have been increasing signs of hostility between Washington and Caracas, and on Monday Chavez said Venezuela's intelligence agencies have "infiltrated" a group of military officials from the U.S. Embassy who were allegedly involved in espionage.
Venezuelan authorities, including the vice president, have accused officials at the U.S. Embassy of involvement in a spying case in which Venezuelan naval officers allegedly passed sensitive information to the Pentagon.
It was not the first such charge by Chavez.
He has accused President Bush of backing efforts to overthrow his leftist government, and specifically has charged that the United States supported a short-lived coup in 2002, fomented a devastating strike in 2004 and expelled some American missionaries from Venezuela for alleged links to the CIA.
Washington has repeatedly rejected the allegations.
Responding to Venezuela's expulsion of a U.S. naval officer from Caracas, the State Department on Friday declared a senior Venezuelan diplomat persona non grata and gave her 72 hours to leave the country.
Spokesman Sean McCormack said Jeny Figueredo Frias, the embassy chief of staff, has been ordered to leave.
On Thursday, Chavez had said that Venezuela was expelling naval attache John Correa for allegedly passing secret information from Venezuelan military officers to the Pentagon.
McCormack said the U.S. action was a direct response to Correa's expulsion.
"They initiated this and we were forced to respond," he said.

OT: beacon
i was born [some say hatched] in torrensville, outside of adelaide...a long, long, long time ago
uncipep, seems like a fair and accurate accounting
the unfortunate part of this "realization" is it comes after-the-fact
the trick [as it were] is to anticipate and interpret these facts before the damage is done, and to play these "gems" accordingly
but greed and being swept up in the emotion of the hype/promotion is generally the direction taken
some eventually learn [as it appears you have], while others simply continue to make the same mistake over and over
and to add insult to injury/losses, your response will garner personal attacks and insults from those still deluded, in an effort to muzzle your comments/observations
welcome to the real world
good luck to you
trade 'em, dont marry 'em
[btw, i assure you those that did are well ahead of the "longs"]
just curious...is it part of job description
for moderators to post daily personal attacks and send digs via PM after PM in an effort to get a rise out of someone?
was only wondering since a TOS doesnt work very well when its against the person who controls the deletions, and no one else seems to be taking any action
mbe03851, no worries mate...

Bush Says Don't Expect Oil Price Breaks
By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent
1 hour, 31 minutes ago
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush defended the huge profits of Exxon Mobil Corp. Wednesday, saying they are simply the result of the marketplace and that consumers socked with soaring energy costs should not expect price breaks.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Bush also addressed oil's future, offering a more ambitious hope than in his State of the Union speech for cutting imports from the volatile Mideast.
However, he said his oft-stated goal of a Palestinian state in the region cannot be realized if a Hamas-led government refuses to renounce its desire to destroy Israel.
Bush, a former Texas oilman, said of oil costs, "I think that basically the price is determined by the marketplace and that's the way it should be."
"I believe in a relatively quick period of time, within my lifetime, we'll be able to reduce if not end dependence on Middle Eastern oil by this new technology" of converting corn, wood, grasses and other products into ethanol, he said.
In his address Tuesday night, Bush had set a goal of reducing the nation's Mideast oil imports by 75 percent by 2025.
With three years left in his second term, Bush declined to say what — if any — role he would take in the selection of a Republican candidate to succeed him in the 2008 presidential race. But he accepted the proposition that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would not be a contender.
"I think you need to take her at her word that she's not running," Bush said in a conversation on Air Force One as he flew to Tennessee for a speech.
"My political focus is on 2006," said Bush, who plans a major campaign role this year in the midterm congressional elections. "To the extent that I am thinking politics, it is to retain the (Republican) leadership of the House and the Senate."
Early this week, Exxon reported record profits of $10.71 billion for the fourth quarter and $36.13 billion for the year — the largest of any U.S. company. While some politicians raised furious objections, Bush had a different reaction.
"There is a marketplace in American society," he said.
"There's also a responsibility for energy companies to continue to invest and improve the ways that the American people can get energy," he said. "I would very much hope that Exxon would participate in the development of a pipeline out of Alaska, for example, in order to make sure there's more natural gas available for families and small business owners so the economy will grow."
Bush said his goal is to diversify away from a "a hydrocarbon society. I meant what I said last night, that America's addiction to oil is bad for this country. In order to remain competitive we've got to use technology to diversify away from dependence upon oil."
"I am told we are close to significant breakthroughs when it comes to the production of ethanol ... and that within six years the development of technology will be able to produce energy on a competitive basis," he said.
On the international front, Bush talked about trouble in Iran and in the Palestinian territory.
He said it was too early to tell what path Hamas would choose in dealing with Israel. "The conditions for peace and the conditions for a settlement will be up to Hamas to make the right decisions," he said.
Bush was the first U.S. president to espouse a Palestinian state living side by side in peace with Israel. Those prospects have dimmed with the triumph of Hamas in Palestinian parliamentary elections last week.
"I made the position of this government very clear," Bush said. "Hamas must renounce its desire to destroy Israel; it must recognize Israel's right to exist and it must get rid of the armed wing of its party."
"In order for there to be democracy and in order for there to be two states living side by side with peace, you can't have the party of one state intending to destroy the other state," he said.
On Capitol Hill, the Senate approved a nonbinding resolution condemning Hamas and expressing support for halting assistance to the Palestinian government.
Bush was asked about Iran in view of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vow to resist the pressure of "bully countries" as European nations circulated a draft resolution urging that Tehran be brought before the U.N. Security Council for its nuclear activities.
"We cannot afford to have Iran with a nuclear weapon," Bush said. "We want them to have nuclear power but under the conditions that we describe." The United States supports a plan in which Russia would handle the reprocessing of spent fuel from Iran.
But Bush held out little hope of avoiding a showdown.
"It looks like to me the process is headed toward the Security Council, and that if the Iranians would like to avoid that, they ought to work in good faith to get rid of their nuclear weapon ambitions," the president said.
Bush said he had called Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss Iran and had thanked him for Russia's reprocessing plan.
On other subjects:
• The president appeared untroubled by the outbursts and chaos surrounding the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
"Saddam Hussein was the person who made a mockery of justice," Bush said. "He never gave his victims any chance for trial. This fledgling democracy is working through the issues of its Justice Department."
• Bush dismissed the idea of increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars, trucks and SUVs as a way of curbing foreign oil dependence. "My plan is to diversify away from oil. ... You're asking questions about how you deal with cars running on gasoline made from oil, I'm telling you let's get some cars running on fuel other than oil."
• He rejected calls from some Republicans for the White House to disclose all its contacts with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Bush said there was an investigation of Abramoff's activities and "to the extent they ask for information, they'll get it."

Insurgents Thwarting Iraq Reconstruction
By JIM KRANE, Associated Press Writer
45 minutes ago
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Guerrilla attacks in Iraq have forced the cancellation of more than 60 percent of water and sanitation projects, in part because American intelligence failed to predict the brutal insurgency, a U.S. government audit said.
American goals to fix Iraq's infrastructure will never be reached, mainly because insurgents have chased away contractors and forced the diversion of repair funds into security, according to an audit of the Iraqi Relief and Reconstruction Program released last week. It is the latest in a series of auditing reports being issued by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.
The rise of Iraq's insurgency was never envisioned by U.S. officials, who originally budgeted about 9 percent of reconstruction aid for project security, the audit said.
As kidnappings, killings and sabotage drove local laborers and foreign technicians from the reconstruction program, U.S. administrators were forced to step up protection for workers.
New measures like armored vehicles, private security teams and blast walls absorbed as much as 22 percent of project costs, according to the audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.
"The whole purpose of those attacks was to drive those contractors out," said Wayne White, who headed the State Department's Iraq intelligence team until last year. "Lots of them had to leave. They were terrified."
Planners "envisioned a much more permissive security environment than that experienced in 2004 and 2005. The Iraq insurgency has directly affected the cost of the reconstruction projects, increased the cost of materials and created project delays," the audit found.
Pre-invasion U.S. intelligence reports said guerrilla attacks were likely, White said.
"But nobody predicted anything of this magnitude in terms of resistance," said White, now an analyst with the Middle East Institute in Washington. "And in part, the magnitude of the resistance was spurred by our failures in reconstruction."
U.S. officials coped with the gathering insurgency by diverting $5.6 billion of the $18.4 billion U.S. aid package into Iraq's security and public safety sectors, while slashing projects aimed at restoring the country's water and electricity infrastructure, the report said.
Funds earmarked for Iraq's military and law enforcement jumped 55 percent, funding training and weapons for Iraqi police and troops, prison construction and additional border guards.
U.S. occupation authority planners assumed incorrectly that rebuilding projects could proceed without interference from Iraqi insurgents, according to the audit, titled "Challenges Faced in Carrying Out Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund Activities."
The insurgency has had "a very significant impact" on reconstruction efforts, said Greg Sullivan, a spokesman for the State Department. But he said the U.S. rebuilding goals have always been to give Iraq a head start.
"This is an incredibly oil-rich country, and eventually money and resources are not going to be a problem," Sullivan said. "The long-term goals we're pretty confidant Iraq can meet as long as it gets enough of a head start."
The spending diversions forced the cancellation of 60 percent of the 136 planned water and sanitation projects, including sewage, irrigation and dams. Just 49 water projects are expected to be completed, the audit says.
Of the 425 planned electric projects, 300 will be finished, meaning ambitious U.S. promises to restore Iraqi power will not be fulfilled.
Projects canceled include $1 billion for six generating plants across Iraq, which will cut back U.S.-funded increases in Iraq's power generation capacity from a planned 3,400 megawatts to 2,109 megawatts, the report said. The stated monthly goal was 6,000 megawatts.
Many in Washington agree the U.S. emphasis on huge infrastructure projects was a mistake because they provided few jobs or immediate improvements to daily life.
"So many of our goals were not met, in part because of really expert sabotage by the resistance," White said. "But it was also the fault of being overly focused on long-term projects that weren't bringing short-term relief."
Iraq's still-constant blackouts and a perception among Iraqis that the United States failed to live up to early reconstruction promises have helped make the U.S. occupation deeply unpopular.
Lack of electricity also boosted reconstruction costs, forcing contractors to import generators, White said, noting that few of Iraq's state-owned factories reopened after the U.S. invasion.
"If you can't rely on the national power grid, you really can't get back to a state of normalcy which is required for industrial recovery," he said.

shortchange, ok, lets take it out of the "its possible" context
in your experience, have/do convertibles generally pressure SP through dilution?
