He's desperate to hide his past connection to eConnect.
Yes...and he tries to deny it now. Selective memory and denial are Hollen's major "attributes' - a shameless tout for scammy companies, until they get exposed, and then he tries to rewrite history.
DID YOU KNOW THAT JMHOLLEN WAS A DIRECTOR OF ECONNECT?
That's why he likes to set up message boards on IHub - he gets away with deleting anything that shows him for what he is - a shameless tout. He spent weeks trying to bury those scionist posts of mine on SI...and bleated like a stuck pig the entire time.
Ooops - IHub hiccup....

10QSB/A related to EYE CASH NETWORKS INC filed on 01/23/2003
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 7, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil
complaint against eConnect, Thomas D. Hughes, Richard Epstein and Alliance
Equities, alleging that false press releases were made, and seeking injunctive
relief and disgorgement. The respondents are vigorously contesting the
allegations.
Halted trading of stock - On July 25, 2002, the SEC suspended trading of the
Company's common stock in connection with an investigation of the Company's
accuracy of several claims, including the claimed value of the bonds PNI
invested into the Company, the stated projected opening date of eConnect
Financial, and the value of a purchase order from another company. The Company's
common stock resumed trading on August 8, 2002; however, from that date to the
date of this report, the Company's common stock has been trading on the National
Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets, since relisting procedures for the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") have not yet been completed.
Hollen doesn't like hard facts of any kind. He prefers to deal in speculation but only his own speculation. Acts like a spoiled kid.

THAT about does it for RagingBull. Wednesday they laid off another 20% of the Lycos employees including a bunch at Quote.com. Last month, when they closed some non-RB message boards they promised that it would not effect RB because it was part of Quote.com. Regardless, now they have outsourced their sales staff, laid off engineers, and closed out offices in NY and California at Quote.com. The corporate plan is to turn RB into a subscription blog and singles porn site. Of course the corporate description is fancier but that about gets it.
While 2003 Yahoo participation was way up in 2003, Lycos participation dropped from 35 million to 32 million hits. In 2002 Lycos stripped down Raging Bull from about 60 employees to about THREE even after the survivors said they could not do their job with less than six. Corporate employees were listed at 417 but 2003 saw them peal another 90. Then Wednesday they got another 90. By my calculations the press is off when they talk about only 20%.

At this time, to conserve cash, the Company does not manufacture its products nor does it maintain a sales force.
NOTE 3. MANAGEMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
In fiscal 2003, the Company obtained loans from a bank for amounts up to
$1,650,000. In addition, the Company has received $1,675,425 in loans since
inception from third parties, existing shareholders and directors. At this time,
to conserve cash, the Company does not manufacture its products nor does it
maintain a sales force. These functions are outsourced. In addition, officers of
the Company and certain employees have been deferring their salaries or
accepting shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash. The Company has
applied for grants from various government agencies that, if approved, will
provide funding for the development of new products and for the enhancement of
our current products. The Company is also negotiating with various government
agencies and private companies for the sale of its products. During the next 12
months, if the Company cannot generate sufficient funds to operate its business
from grants and product sales, it will be required to seek financing from its
largest stockholder, who has provided financing and a loan guarantee for the
Company in the past. The stockholder is under no obligation to provide such
funds. The Company may also consider selling debt or equity securities. There is
no guarantee that the Company will obtain funds sufficient to continue its
operations during the next 12 months.

NOTE: 23 FEBRUARY 2004 - USGA FILES 10Q - ADDS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE.
It's amazing how a little exposure by Our-Street.com helps improve the thoroughness of a company's disclosure. This paragraph was added to the company's most recent 10Q filing. It was not included in previous filings.
"Our earnings for the quarter and the period ended December 31, 2003 continue to reflect our status as a development stage research company. While many of our products are developed and can be marketed, we do not have the infrastructure or financial resources to manufacture and distribute our products. Our efforts are currently focused on establishing worldwide distribution channels through recognized distributors. However, although we are currently in negotiations with one or more recognized distributors, we have not executed any distribution agreements thus far. Therefore, we do not currently have a significant market presence and our products have not been proven by consistent commercial use. Additionally, sales of products geared to the defense and homeland security markets are often tightly controlled and require decisions to be made by one or more government agencies. There can be no assurance that our products will be purchased on a significant scale or commercially proven in the near term. Because we have not yet realized revenues from the sale of our products, as in the past we will need our majority shareholder to continue loaning the funds needed to continue our operations for the near term."
http://www.our-street.com/usga.htm
1. The Rationale.
Although its main effect directly concerns defamation, the title of section 230, "Protection for private blocking or screening of offensive material" does not relate at all to defamation. The exclusion of liability for defamatory third party content is only a means used to promote the policy of making the Internet more decent.
The "Good Samaritan" exception of liability is based in fact on a dual objective that can be found in the policy section of the statutory provision. 18 U.S.C. § 230 (b).
The first of these objectives is to promote the continued development of the Internet and other interactive computer service and the economic market for these products. The idea is here to avoid to impose an economic burden on the ISP that would result from their subjection to liability for defamation. The Congress recognizes here that if ISPs were liable under defamation law it would result in a increase in subscription price that would discourage the development of the Internet.
This rationale is particularly interesting for two reasons. Even if the immediate beneficiaries of the statute are the ISPs, the Congress recognized a public interest in the Internet. The second interesting factor is that the Congress reaches a different result than the Stratton court in balancing the costs of filtering and how much the ISPs customers are willing to pay for this filtering. For the Congress individuals are not willing to pay for the increased cost due to filtering and the potential liability that attach to it. But it is true that the Congress integrates social costs (such as the development of the Internet and the public interest in decency) in its analysis.
The result nevertheless of this balancing is that the potential claims that victims of defamation might have had in limited circumstances against ISPs are voided in order to promote the development of the Internet by limiting the cost of subscription to an ISP.
The second rationale is certainly more apparent in section 230 and also indicates a policy choice. Congress clearly wants to promote (or at the least not discourage) the ISPs from filtering the material hosted on their servers. The link to defamation is again found in a balancing of social costs. More specifically, and clearly stating so, Congress decided to reject the Stratton decision because it considered it as a disincentive for filtering and the purpose of the CDA is precisely to create incentive for filtering. H.R. CONF. REP. No 104-458 at 194 (1996) (5).
Under Stratton if the ISPs filter the material hosted on their servers and find defamatory material or at least material that they suspect to be defamatory, they are obliged to remove it in order to avoid liability. And again for Congress the ISPs customer were not willing to pay for this potential liability of the ISPs even if they benefited from the filtering. It is also true that the technical and procedural costs of finding defamatory material and removing it seem to be greater than the removal of obscene material. Filtering is mostly done through the use of software that identifies obscene words or pictures but it seems difficult to imagine a software that could identify defamatory material as such.
But the fear was that by looking for obscene material the ISPs will always stumble on defamatory material (this is not difficult to imagine if you consider that defamation is often, not always but often obscene).
A comparison with traditional media such as newspapers is here useful. Newspapers do filter all the material that they publish. They do so not only because they have strong ethical standards but also because they are subject to liability for defamation. It is clear that because of the strong editorial control this potential for liability is clearly inferior to the Internet where if you have filtering it will be an "a posteriori" process. Newspapers, like the Internet have a social benefit, but they are not given this advantage and the people who buy newspaper must certainly pay for the potential and actual liability of newspaper for defamation. The truth is here that the newspapers do not present any obscene material. This means that the most important rationale for the exemption of liability of the ISPs is the prevention of obscene material on the Internet. Congress has made a policy choice that is not subject here to any criticism. The most important question is whether the modalities of the "Good Samaritan" exemption do permit in fact to reach this objective.

Zeran v. America Online
Kenneth M. Zeran v. America Online, Inc.; U.S. District Court, E.D. Virginia, 958 F.Supp. (1997); U.S Court of Appeals, 4th Circuit, CA-96-1564-A, 129 F.2d 327 (1997); U.S. Supreme Court, Cert. Pet. 97-1488, denied.
Nature of the Case. Plaintiff, Ken Zeran, seeks to have AOL held liable for the defamatory things said about him by an AOL subscriber. He lost in the trial court, as well as in the appeals court, and the Supreme Court denied his request to hear his appeal.
Plaintiff. Kenneth Zeran was the victim of a slanderous internet hoax. Attorney, Leo Kayser, New York, NY, 212-391-4962.
Defendant. America Online is an online service company. Attorneys, Patrick Joseph Carome, John Payton, and Scinir Jain, Wilmer Cutler & Pickering, Washington, DC, 202-663-6000.
Facts. Ken Zeran was defamed by an unknown AOL subscriber who made several posting on AOL advertising that Zeran had for sale certain tasteless t-shirts regarding the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, and which listed the telephone number from which he ran his home based business. He was inundated with telephone complaints and death threats. AOL removed the postings and cancelled the account of the unknown poster. Zeran sued AOL for defamation. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia at Alexandria dismissed the complaint. Zeran appealed to the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. The Appeals Court affirmed the lower court's decision. Zeran appealed to the Supreme Court, which denied his Petition for Writ of Certiorari.
Issues. The case presents the issue of whether an online service, website, or other interactive computer service, can be held liable for defamation made by third parties, where the defamed party has been injured by defamatory speech made by persons who post in an interactive computer service. The case presents the issue of whether 47 U.S.C. § 230 immunizes interactive computer services from such claims.
Holding. Both the District Court and the Court of Appeals ruled that 47 U.S.C. 230, which provides that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" immunizes AOL and any interactive computer service from claims based on information posted by a third party. Court lawsuits seeking to hold a service provider liable for its exercise of a publisher's traditional editorial functions -- such as deciding whether to publish, withdraw, postpone or alter content -- are barred. The Supreme Court denied certiorari on June 18, 1998.

The disappearing mailbox
The contingent from recently renamed U.S. Glob al Nanospace (USGN) brought a vanload of products to Blackwater to demonstrate the scope of their company's military and law-enforcement activities. Included were a prototype protective ring for Humvee gunners, flat plates of the same material from which the ring was made, and a bullet-resistant airliner cockpit door. Those items all share a common purpose - they're designed to stop bullets. So far, so good.
But the USGN team also brought a pair of mailboxes - one carried a new type of blast-containment liner; the other was an ordinary, free-standing, corner-variety mail receptacle.
The idea was simple: Blow up the unlined mailbox with an explosive charge, then show how the blast from a similar-sized charge is contained by the liner.
Unfortunately, USGN's "mailboxes guy" didn't have any explosive material with him; worse still, he was unsure about what size charge the liner could with stand. Those are not minor oversights, particularly considering the audience that had gathered at Black water for the demo.
With some help from our Blackwater hosts, the liner-equipped box was set up about six feet in front of the number-19 sign at the berm end of the long-gun range. The first attempt to detonate the charge failed; only a slight "poof" was heard when the precursor charge fired. So a new blasting cap was affixed to the PETN, or explosive, cord.
This time the cord did what it's designed to do, sending the blast-barrier-lined mailbox in all directions. Parts of the mailbox blew a large hole through the number-19 sign, leaving just a 9 between the 18 and 20 markers.
"Was it supposed to do that?" one of the confused onlookers was overheard asking.
The answer, of course, is "no."
The Global Nanospace team learned a pair of valuable lessons from the mailbox demo: They should bring their own explosive charge to any demonstration and they should test their barrier product against a specific charge before demonstrating it publicly.
As for our evaluators, they, too, were the wiser after the blast. As one noted: "One thing's for sure - PETN is some great stuff."
http://www.militarycity.com/blackwater/morestories.html
COMPOSITE PLATE
The evaluator's comment regarding "body armor" referred to another series of challenges conducted at this year's Shoot-out. Carson City, Nev.-based U.S. Global Nanospace Inc. (USGN), which produces composite body armor, blast shields and airline cockpit doors, recently completed work on a prototype protective ring for Humvee gunners. The "Save-A-Gunner" (S.A.G.) turret, which weighs less than 200 pounds, is made principally of the company's proprietary G-Lam nanofiber.
Originally designed to protect gunners against 7.62-caliber rounds, the latest S.A.G. prototype is capable of protecting a gunner against .50-caliber rounds, according to company officials; that was enough to net it an invitation to showcase the new system at Blackwater.
The original plan was to shoot the ring with various ammo types but, considering the cost of fabricating the device, company officials wisely decided to offer up 12-inch plates of the material for the evaluation. The 1.25-inch-thick plates are formed from a G-Lam/ceramic composite.
With the plates propped up in front of a target stand, a CheyTac marksman loosed a .408 round (419 grains/2,950 fps) from a distance of about 50 yards. The round punched through the plate.
The LeMas team then decided to see what its .300 WinMag HAARP round (130 grains/3,700 fps) could do: It, too, tore through the plate.
It's a distinct understatement to say that the representatives from Global Nanospace were surprised by the effects of the CheyTac .408 and the RBCD .300 WinMag on their plates. But most observers realized that the terminal effects of both these rounds are different from those produced by NATO-standard .50-caliber ball ammo. Acknowledging that fact, we later rounded up some .50-caliber ammo and put it through an FNH Hecate II from 100 yards away. To the relief of the Global Nanospace folks, their heavier (1.4-inch-thick) panel withstood the impact of all three rounds.
The USGN team also invited observers to take a crack at piercing the company's Guardian Cockpit Security Door. A shooter from FNH took them up on the offer. Using a P90 subgun, the shooter peppered the door from about 15 feet with about 20 rounds of closely packed 5.7-by-28mm ammo (55.5 grains/2,346 fps). The door held.
One evaluator quickly followed up with the Global Nanospace representatives and put them in touch with officials involved in the "up-armored" Humvee program. The evaluator also asked the ADS team if defrosting elements could be embedded in its bullet-resistant glass. It wouldn't be at all surprising to see an up-armored Humvee test rig sporting new windows and a protective ring for its gunner.
In addition to their current line of bullet-resistant products, the folks at Global Nanospace are experimenting with composite liners for mailboxes, waste receptacles and other containers that might be used by terrorists as repositories for bombs. They brought with them a pair of standard-size mailboxes - the kind seen on street corners throughout America. One was outfitted with a protective blast liner; the other wasn't. The idea was to detonate an explosive charge in each box to demonstrate their product's blast-resistance properties. This one certainly didn't go as they expected (see related story on page 42).

Yes, I read the Nanalyze forum. It's fairly impartial.
Raging Bull is supposed to be impartial too, but when "good old81 Dave" crows about his influence over the Raging Bull staff it makes one wonder just how many other boards have suffered the same fate as USGA, and how many posters get terminated because "good old81 Dave" and his clique don't want them posting anything.
I'm passing all this 'undue influence' at Raging Bull along to the SEC, copied to the Lycos attorney, and we'll see what interest there is in stock maniplulation by censorship at Raging Bull.
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CEC&read=183
Why hasn't Raging Bull announced publicly that the USGA message board was shut down? What's the Big Secret? If what you say is true then RB could lose its immunity from prosecution as a "good samaritan" under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
"too many TOS reports, too many complains. took a lot of RB's (small)staff time. they finally said F*** it, they shut it down."
It appears that "good old81 Dave" believes he has lots of influence on who posts what where, and thinks he can get the CEC board shut down too, by calling Raging Bull. Who does he speak to about getting boards shut down?
Enquiring minds want to know...
Sounds like stock manipulation, which should interest the SEC, and they're bound to take an interest in the people deciding who posts what and where on Raging Bull...

US Global integrates nano and sub-micron sized polymer and composite materials with functionalized nanotubes to achieve significant increases in material strength and durability.
US Global's offerings include include the growing G-Lam line of variable threat armor solutions, NanoFilters for HVAC, NanoFilterCX, All-Clear Chem/Bio Decon Foam, S.A.G. Turrets, GARDS HumVee Door Armor, BlastX and RadomeX.
US Global Nanospace is a public company traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol USGA. The company is based in Carson City, Nevada with executive offices, research and development, engineering, administrative, marketing and sales offices in Arlington, Texas.
G-Lam™ is US Global's patent-pending anti-ballistic material with half the weight and twice the strength of competitive offerings. G-Lam™ is a nano-fiber material created with a patented computer-designed weaving process that results in a crimp-free material with superior tensile performance. Excessive fiber crimping results in a rapid fall-off in woven material strength.
USGN designs the G-Lam™ nano-scale weave to address specific ballistic threats. G-Lam™ is moldable with very strong shape memory which makes it suitable for wide array of applications. USGA is working with manufacturers to integrate G-Lam™ into new designs for anti-ballistic building materials, shaped body armor, vehicle and aircraft protective panels, shelters, fuel tanks, cargo containers, munitions cases and mailboxes.

RadomeX Antiballistic Aircraft Radomes
US Global produces radomes - a protective housing for radar antenna - made of the company's proprietary G-Lam antiballistic NanoFiber. One of US Globals clients, Agusta, has purchased US Global's radomes for their AB412 Series Military Helicopters. On the Agusta AB412 the radome comprises the nose of the helicopter.
US Global's RadomeX Antiballistic Nanofiber Radome required radical nanotech engineering to encompass antiballistic capabilities and radar transparency while still being a very lightweight and seamless, single piece unit. This radome is designed to be almost indestructible and to provide significant ballistic protection to the flight crew, the radar equipment and the aircraft while allowing the radar to operate without interference. The technology US Global has developed can be used for other aviation parts that require ballistic protection and the same performance capabilities, such as seats, cockpits, engine covers, and so on.

US Global is now in discussions with several cigarette manufacturers regarding the NanoFilterCX™ to establish optimum toxin filtering capability, taste maximization and assimilation into established manufacturing environments.
US Global is also working with cigarette holder manufacturers to integrate the NanoFilterCX™ into a wide variety of cigarette holders so that the smoking public would have immediate access to the benefits of the NanoFilterCX™.
According to a 1999 study by Tobacco Control, an estimated 5.5 trillion commercially produced cigarettes were consumed in 1995, 83% of which were filter-tipped. As a result approximately 4.5 trillion cigarette filters containing cellulose acetate, which under normal conditions last for 18 months or longer, were discarded into the environment. Comparable numbers can be extrapolated to date.
The NanoFilterCX™ is projected to filter out from 38 percent to 72 percent of carcinogenic toxins without impeding smoke flow or requiring excessive air dilution through the slip-flow effect in the biodegradable nanofiber filter medium. The slip-flow effect increases flow across the filter fiber surface to provide for higher diffusion, interception and retention of smoke toxins and dangerous particulate matter without losing desired tobacco taste.

NanoFilter ™ Pathogen Air Filter Purification Systems
The core of US GLobal's NanoFilter technology was initially developed for NASA for use during extended crewed space flight applications that lasted for more than 120 days to provide ultra-fine particulate matter air filtration and purification. The performance has been enhanced further with the addition of nanofiber filter element materials.
The porous nanofilter media is enveloped with an electronic field that causes the airborne particulate matter to move in a churning motion perpendicular to the airflow direction without ionization, thus significantly enhancing the London/Van der Waals force interaction (a method of intermolecular attraction), resulting in a super-efficient air filtration and purification system to effectively capture bacteria, viruses, smoke, dust, odorants, and other sub-micron sized particulate matter.
Unlike traditional filter technology that relies on ever more restrictive filter elements and reduced flow rates in order to catch smaller particles, nanofilter technology provides nearly unrestricted air flow, minimal pressure drop, and a substantial increase in energy efficiency. We have successfully tested the Nanofilter's capability to contain both SARS virus and anthrax- sized particulate matter. The Nanofilters mass appeal lies in their ability to contain everyday flu and common viruses - all of which have a major impact on the workplace.
US Global Nanospace has further enhanced the NanoFilter's capabilities with their proprietary nanomaterials. We believe that immediate applications for this technology exist for installation in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, as well as in mass transit vehicles. Filters suitable for commercial HVAC applications now in prototype production with availability for installation expected by year-end.
By installing a Nanofilter, a hospital or commercial facility can reduce the energy consumption of the HVAC system by up to 35% and have a more effective filtration system. The company is currently negotiating with a major U.S. air carrier for the installation of US Global Nanofilters for its aircraft fleet. Similar negotiations are underway with both foreign and domestic air carriers, and Asian based medical health facilities.

Save-A Gunner (SAG) Hummvee Turret
The S.A.G.™ Turret has been designed as a lightweight shielded turret for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ("HMMWV", commonly pronounced Hum-Vee). US Global is designing similar units for NATO and Coalition Forces vehicles including Land Rover and Unimog vehicles.
The S.A.G.™ Turret weighs less than 200 pounds and offers rapid rotational capability. Traditional armored turrets are far too heavy and impede a gunner's ability to effectively and rapidly rotate the turret during battle situations.
The S.A.G.™ Turret is approximately 4 feet in diameter, is designed to interface precisely with military HMMWV rotating turret rings and can be installed by two people in less than one hour using common hand tools.
The S.A.G.™ Turret, made primarily of USGN's proprietary G-Lam™ nano-fiber material, is designed to be impervious to petroleum distillates and to maintain performance at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In one test using 7.62 cal ammunition, six successive strikes near the same spot did not penetrate the armor, outperforming ceramic faceplates in conventional composite systems. The S.A.G.™ Turret is available immediately for controlled export to allied countries with U.S. government approval.
The durability, strength and low weight of the S.A.G.™ Turret System comes from US Global Nanospace's G-Lam™ nano-fiber anti-ballistic material. G-Lam™ is created with a patent-pending computer-designed weaving process that results in a crimp-free material with tensile performance far superior to common anti-ballistic composite materials. US Global designs each G-Lam™ nano-scale weave to address specific threat characterizations.

Blast-X™ Explosion Mitigation Material
Blast-X™ ia a lightweight blast mitigation material available in flat and conformable panels. Blast-X™ integrates four distinct blast mitigation and containment technologies into a single product that is designed to reduce the risk of death and injury, preserve forensic evidence, increase safe working environments and reduce litigation exposure.
Blast-X™ is comprised of four unique materials: a face sheet designed to quench hot gases instantly and attenuate shock waves; a honeycomb core to cushion impact and add structure to the assembly; a core medium filling the honeycomb devised to rapidly cool blast environments and extinguish flame fronts from burning gases, dust and mist; and a back panel made of USGN's patent-pending G-Lam™ anti-ballistic material to contain blast fragments and debris.
Blast-X™ is designed to be an environmentally safe, cost-effective technical solution for countering the threat of criminal and terrorist bombing incidents by dramatically reducing shock waves and blast impulse, suppressing fireballs and killing after-burn, thus significantly enhancing protection of facilities, structures and most importantly, their occupants.
Blast-X™ utilizes passive blast effect mitigation and fragment containment, can be used indoors or out and does not require sensors, anticipation of a blast event, or power. Blast-X(TM) is designed to mitigate destructive effects of blasts of all kinds including solid, gas, and fuel/air by slowing the flame front and blast wave propagation velocity and generating turbulent flow/shock wave interactions, which rapidly cool hot gases.
Blast-X™ Wallboard is designed for original installation and retrofit in building construction and is easily installed using customary wallboard installation techniques.

GARDS™-Guardian™ Antiballistic Replacement Door Skins
The new Guardian™ Antiballistic Replacement Door Skin (GARDS™) for the AM General HMMWVV (commonly pronounced Hum-Vee) are now available for shipment to authorized agencies and deployed units. GARDS are lightweight and flexible antiballistic panels designed to protect vehicle occupants in elevated-threat locations.
GARDS™ are attached in the field to the interior of the existing HMMWVV doorframe, upgrading threat level protection to NIJ Level IIIA, providing for a radical increase in protection from small arms fire, projectiles, fragmentation and shrapnel when compared to the original equipment fabric doors.
GARDS installs in fifteen minutes, weighs under six pounds per panel, requires no maintenance and as the original door structure and canvas cover remain intact is unnoticeable from the outside of the vehicle. GARDS' strength, durability and low weight is a result of US Global's G-Lam™ nano-fiber anti-ballistic material. G-Lam™ is created with a patent-pending process that results in mechanical properties far superior to common anti-ballistic composite materials. US Global has developed G-Lam™ nano-scale materials specifically for such applications and in GARDS will provide maximum protection against small arms fire, fragmentation and shrapnel. G-Lam™ is also impervious to petroleum distillates and maintains performance at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. GARDS is available immediately for export to allied forces. Photos are available at www.usgn.com/GARDS.html

ALL-CLEAR™ Chem/Bio Decontamination Foam
ALL-CLEAR™ is a Non-Toxic Decontaminant Foam for the Neutralization of Chemical and Biological Weapons and Contaminants. US Global has the exclusive patent and license to market ALL-CLEAR™ internationally. ALL-CLEAR™ was developed by TIAX, a leading collaborative product and technology development firm based in Cambridge, MA.
ALL-CLEAR™ Chem/Bio Decon Foam is one of the first environmentally friendly and non-toxic decontaminants that is highly effective in eliminating chemical and biological warfare agents, such as Sarin and Anthrax, within one hour of application. The foam neutralizes agents without the harmful and potentially deadly effects that most chlorine and formaldehyde-based decontamination agents have on sensitive apparatus like landing gear and brake assemblies.
US Global is expanding the commercial market market for ALL-CLEAR™ beyond terrorist response to include treating industrial and infectious waste and the decontamination of aircraft and vehicles arriving from quarantine areas, as well as agricultural applications such as treating livestock areas to destroy and prevent the spread of infectious diseases in animals.
TIAX developed the non-hazardous, environmentally friendly foam under the sponsorship of the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) in 1999. The TSWG (www.TSWG.gov) is the U.S. Government's national forum to rapidly develop technologies and equipment to meet the high-priority needs of combating terrorism.
As part of a broad spectrum, non-hazardous, environmentally friendly biological and chemical decontamination system, ALL-CLEAR™ Chem/Bio Decon foam can be used and has been proven against various biological threats including: Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), Bacteria (Escherichia coli amd Salmonella spp., Bacterial Virus (Bacillus cereus bacteriophage), Toxins (Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin), Fungal spores (Aspergillus niger) and Protozoa/parasite (Giardia intestinalis).
ALL-CLEAR™ Pricing is estimated to be between $25 and $45 per gallon, depending on volume and strength required. Unlike other decontamination products that rely on chemical reactions to oxidize agents, this two-part product uses an enzyme to selectively destroy nerve agents and a biocide mixture to sanitize biological agents, including anthrax spores. This approach allows the active ingredients to penetrate deep into cracks and crevices to ensure that even the most hidden chemical and biological agents can be eradicated. Chem/Bio Decon Foam's active ingredients are not rapidly depleted by reaction with other materials, such as dirt and grease, resulting in a long-lasting product. The foam can be dispensed using commonly available fire-fighting equipment in addition to numerous readily available commercial applicators.

LOL...old81 is going to have a few problems with RB and probably also with the SEC soon...
I believe the Lycos attorney is reviewing what he knows about the Telecommuncations Act of 1996 - no doubt with special attention to Raging Bull and their loss of "good Samaritan" status - which old Dave has put in jeopardy with the help of his buddy at RB.

Old81 is sailing close to the wind. I hope his trading records are dust-free...
I think he really believes he's incognito in spite of his many posts identifying himself.

I'm keeping an eye on it. If many more show up I will talk to lycos support and ask them to shut it down. Have no doubt they will.

RB has a history of obliging scammy companies by shutting down message boards - NUTK was the last one I believ.
The CEO made all the usual basher lawsuit noises, and then realized that discovery could be a two-edged sword.
LOL...I never really get "run off" anywhere. The stock touts get a TOS campaign going on RB and a cooperative Raging Bull employee terminates an alias, but only when I post factual information that bursts the touts' bubble. It's no big deal, but it does provide a record of the rampant stock "protection" racket for the SEC.
Diesel, old81 and qbbbed and a couple of other stock touts can gloat all they like about getting rid of people from RB - it's all grist for the investigators' mill. Just as Asiavest got caught with his stock "protection" racket, so will this over-confident bunch.
