OT: No, the point wasn't to send you on a wild chase. And, I don't think the firm would tell you anything but who knows? Plenty of people have taken wild shots on the board and every once in awhile, someone gets lucky and gets a reply with new info.
The point was that since you no longer hold the position that prevented you from calling, writing, emailing the press {as you suggested everyone else do}, if you have an idea, then see what you come up with instead of suggesting others do so.
And, I know you're going to mince words here and say you never "suggested anything, you just asked a question". Ok, so maybe I mis-read your intent. It just sounded to me like your earlier crusade of telling everyone to start a pr campaign to national press.
ACTC mentioned towards end. I highlighted in bold.
Measure poses hard-to-answer question to Missouri voters
By Matt Franck
POST-DISPATCH JEFFERSON CITY BUREAU
10/07/2006
Missouri voters are being asked whether an issue before them would kill cloned human embryos or cure the world of disease.
At least that's what they're being asked in the notoriously oversimplified world of political ads, where differing views are presented as polar opposites, and candidates are portrayed as crooks or saints.
In the case of a statewide ballot measure on stem-cell research, voters face a tug of war between those who argue for the sanctity of unborn life, and those who tout the promises of potential cures.
But in reality, say ethicists and scientists, the alternatives aren't so clear-cut.
In reality, voters are being asked to apply ancient definitions of life to the outer frontiers of science. They're being asked to supply a moral judgment today on research that won't take place until tomorrow, if it ever takes place at all.
They're being asked to declare certainty on an issue that divides people of the same faith, splitting even those who otherwise lock arms on the issue of abortion.
"I do sympathize with voters at this point in the debate," said Jesse Reynolds, of the Center for Genetics and Society in California. "In a way, voters are between a rock and a hard place."
All eyes will be on Missouri for the Nov. 7 vote, the first of its kind in the nation. Some say the outcome could provide clues on national voter sentiment on a contentious political divide, perhaps spawning similar referendums in other states. To this point, the legislative battle has largely been confined to Congress and state general assemblies. In the case of Illinois and a handful of other states, lawmakers have backed embryonic stem-cell research with state funding.
At the core of the debate is the moral status of a cluster of human cells in a petri dish, and whether those cells can rightly be destroyed in the fight against paralysis and cancer.
Fundamental to that question is how voters define life itself, and at what point in the timeline of biological development they believe that living cells become a human being worthy of legal protection. Visit our politics section
The proposal
On its face, the stem-cell measure might seem like a simple proposition.
The measure seeks to ensure that any forms of stem-cell research that are legal under federal law also would be legal in Missouri.
But voters are being asked to do more than simply preserve the status quo. The measure would negate the state Legislature's ability to ban certain forms of controversial research, such as those involving cloning technology.
The debate over research cloning has eclipsed most all other issues surrounding Amendment 2, pitting anti-abortion groups against many others who oppose abortion, such as Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt.
But the roots of those ethical divisions date back millennia, to the age-old debate fought by religions and philosophers over when life begins.
While some pinpoint human existence at the union of egg and sperm, others say that threshold is crossed only when a fertilized egg is implanted in the womb. Still others point to other developmental milestones, such as the formation of a spinal column, lungs or birth itself.
The Missouri stem-cell debate largely takes place on one end of that spectrum of viewpoints. The ballot measure would ban harvesting stem cells from embryos beyond 14 days of development. For the most part, the strongest opponents of the measure believe life begins at conception.
That definition of life - held by most anti-abortion groups - offers little ethical wiggle room on issues such as abortion.
But recently, the strictest definitions of human life have butted heads with new technologies. That's been true of certain forms of birth control, such as morning-after pills, which might stop a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb.
In vitro fertilization has raised similar concerns, because it involves fertilizing numerous eggs. Many of those who say life begins at conception say in vitro fertilization is unethical, unless the unused embryos are preserved rather than being discarded.
That explains why thousands are stored indefinitely in freezers. And those concerns also are at the heart of much of the debate over embryonic stem-cell research and the Missouri ballot measure.
Currently, the only human embryos used for stem-cell research are those left over from fertility clinics. Such research is legal under federal and state law, but federal money can be spent on research only involving stem cells harvested from those embryos.
Supporters of Amendment 2 want to preserve the legality of research on fertility clinic embryos. To do otherwise, they say, is foolish because the frozen embryos will inevitably degrade.
Former Sen. John Danforth, an abortion opponent who is among the lead supporters of the ballot measure, said he backs the research for the simple fact that the cells in question have never been implanted in a mother.
"My thoughts are, no human being who has ever walked this earth has ever not come from a mother," he said.
But for many of those who believe human beings are formed at conception, using the embryos for research is unacceptable, whether the cells are in a freezer or a womb.
"Protecting human life is more than a matter of geography," said C. Ben Mitchell, director of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, a Chicago-based anti-abortion group.
Other processes
Complicating the ethical debate even further is a process called Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer.
For many who oppose using embryos from fertility clinics, the technology offers an alternative source for embryonic stem cells, while avoiding moral pitfalls. But for others, the procedure only fans the flames of controversy surrounding Amendment 2.
In Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, or SCNT, the nucleus from an adult cell is removed and transplanted into a donor egg that has had its own nucleus removed.
The egg is then shocked or chemically treated to trick it into behaving as if it has been fertilized. It divides and grows into a ball of cells that can be harvested for stem cells or implanted in a womb to produce a baby. Although the process has yet to work in humans, the technique is the same as that used to create Dolly, the cloned sheep, and other animals, including mules, cattle and cats.
There is nearly universal distaste for the idea of allowing a cloned embryo to grow into a human child. Hence, the ballot measure would ban cloning to produce an infant, or even implanting the embryo into a womb.
Many supporters of SCNT say the technique serves two purposes: It provides a source of stem cells tailored to a patient; and, because no sperm fertilizes the egg, there is no "conception."
For that reason, Blunt and other abortion opponents have found it safe to support SCNT, saying that it does not violate their strict definitions of life.
Some say the cells produced by SCNT are morally no different from ordinary skin cells and should be used without hesitation in the fight against disease.
"I don't think personally those are tough calls to make," said F. Sessions Cole, director of newborn medicine at Washington University in St. Louis.
But for many abortion opponents, SCNT research produces human life as surely as if a sperm and egg were involved.
"I liken it to carrot cake," said Sen. Matt Bartle, R-Lee's Summit, who led a failed effort in the Legislature to ban SCNT. "I've seen a number of different recipes, but it all tastes like carrot cake to me."
Ethical questions
Amid the war of words over cloning and the definition of life, some fear the current political debate on Amendment 2 has eclipsed more subtle ethical questions.
Reynolds' group, the Center for Genetics and Society, supports abortion rights, and has no ethical concerns about the moral status of cells used for embryonic stem-cell research.
But the group does raise concerns about the health risks posed to women who might donate eggs for research. The drugs used in egg extraction can have strong side effects, and in rare cases have killed women.
The group also questions whether potential cures - which would be extremely expensive - would be accessible to patients regardless of income.
Myra Christopher is head of the Center for Practical Bioethics in Kansas City. The organization takes no position on Amendment 2, but it has circulated 50,000 guides on the ethics of the research, dealing with the issue ranging from egg extraction to the affordability of treatment.
"Our concern is how we make sure that the research is conducted ethically," she said.
Rebecca Dresser, a professor of law and medical ethics at Washington University at St. Louis, said she's concerned it might be too soon to move ahead with research cloning, given issues such as the risks of egg extraction.
Dresser said she does not personally think the research destroys human life. But she said the cells probably shouldn't be equated with mere skin cells either. She said researchers haven't yet done a good job of defining how the cells should be regarded ethically.
"We should only allow their use in important research," she said. "It's owed special respect. It's potential human life."
Research limits
Many opponents of embryonic stem-cell research say most, if not all, ethical concerns can be satisfied by limiting research to adult stem cells. Such research extracts stem cells while posing virtually no risk to the donor. And unlike embryonic stem cells, the research has already produced treatments.
But scientists overwhelmingly reject such limits, saying that only embryonic stem cells have the flexibility of becoming almost any kind of human cell, a key to fighting disease. At least for now, they say, the best source for embryonic cells is SCNT.
Others, however, are looking for other alternatives. Even though SCNT has yet to produce a single human stem cell, scientists are already hoping to sidestep ethical issues by working to make the technique obsolete.
Earlier this year, researchers at the Massachusetts research firm Advanced Cell Technology claimed they had developed a method of extracting embryonic stem cells without destroying the embryo. But other scientists have yet to repeat the results, raising questions about the viability of the technique.
In the meantime, new technologies likely won't roll out in time to be of use to Missouri voters who vote in November.
If both sides of debate agree on anything, it's that the grand questions of life and ethics are ones that voters must ultimately answer for themselves.
That's been a message that Steven Teitelbaum, of the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University in St. Louis, has repeatedly carried as he's toured the state offering lectures on the issue.
While Teitelbaum is among the ballot measure's most fervent supporters, he knows his detailed scientific explanations only take voters so far.
"At the end of the day, this is an ethical debate," he said.

I think you missed this part of the post? :)
The Vancouver Sun has an article by David Baines but I can't access it without a subscrition. Anyone here able to get it?
OT: I actually agree with you. I was (obviously, unsuccessfully) trying to make a point.
The point being: If it seems like a good idea to Umbra, then Umbra could take the initiative and let the rest of us know.
You don't see Hoehne saying "anybody think about emailing Dan with these questions?" or Crazy saying "anyone consider calling Transocean and seeing what they have to say?" or Tuneman saying "has anyone emailed Addax?". No, they just do it and let the rest of us know if their efforts yield anything they can share.
Btw, sorry if I got any of the poster's names and contributions wrong, just going from memory and trying to illustrate a point.
Umbra, great idea. Here are the names of the attorneys who filed the letter in the court documents and the general phone number:
Michael J. Madigan
Paul W. Butler
Michael A. Fitzpatrick
Suzanne E. Ashley

You can also get each of their email addresses if you go to their profile.

Glty and let us know what they say.
Serf, I just posted this on TGL board. There are a lot of Canadians who post on that board. Looks like this columnist thinks it's a scam.

My wag is MLXO. There's rumor they will have audited financials out this week. This is approx. the 15th week they were supposed to be out, though... :)
"...and, Rocky8, remember that an Obasanjo holding outfit (his agro-industry unit, I believe) reportedly holds 200 million shares of TransCorp, a company that came alive through Abuja's privatization program with Obi at the helm."
Homeport, that's exactly what makes me think he's preparing to hold the elections. Again, wdik?
Homeport, I think Obasanjo is preparing for the elections to take place based on that article you posted earlier re: dissolving the NCP. Bwdik?
And, interestingly enough one of Transcorp's recent acquisitions is Nitel, which at one time Dr. Martin Igbokwe was Chairman (I don't know if he still is or not). Meridian has posted on the IV board that Dr. Igbokwe is one of the directors of Feltang.
It's a very tangled web they weave there, imo.
Here's Transcorp's link:

Meridian posted the info on the IV board.
OT: Are all brokers doing this? If not, I think I'd switch brokers.
And, my humble opinion, I think that's a crappy answer and would ask for that in writing from them. Aren't they basically saying that their systems aren't secure enough? Or am I missing something?
Edit: I see now, they are saying that individual's computers are being hacked into and that's where the login info is coming from. If it were such a problem, it would seem like there would be news articles on this. I'll search now but it seems like bull to me...bwdik?
There's a lot of discussion on broker's in general on this board. Maybe others have had similar experiences.

OT: Mad, what's E-Trade's "new policy"?
Instruct, when it comes to crunching numbers, I'm the wrong person to ask for an opinion! :)
And, I agree with your earlier post.
Anybody know anything about Feltang other than the name?
Well, I just searched Feltang again and came up with this. It's a publication out of Australia and "FELTANG PTY. LIMITED" is listed on page 82 with this heading.
"Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
ASIC Gazette ASIC 13/06, Tuesday, 4 April 2006

And this is info at beginning of section:

Here's link if anyone wants to delve into this any further. To be clear, I have no idea if this is the same "Feltang" connected with ERHE.

Semi-ot: Oil wealth a boon and burden for Nigeria
Communities in the Niger delta are finally getting a share of the oil money, but serious problems remain, says Mark Tran
Friday October 6, 2006
Guardian Unlimited
Nigeria is the eighth richest oil country in the world and the wealthiest in Africa, with oil revenues accounting for nearly 80% of the national budget. Over the decades, Nigeria has earned billions of dollars from its oil sector, and usually generates about 2.6m barrels of oil a day.
But oil has proved a blessing and a curse for Nigeria, and has been especially damaging for the people of the Niger delta. International oil companies have operated there since 1956, when oil was first discovered in Oloibiri, in what is now Bayelsa State. Communities in the Niger delta see little benefit from Nigeria's oil revenues. It used to be that the federal government took the lion's share. Lagos still gets most of the revenues but the state governments in the Niger delta do now get a substantial share of the oil money. But this has led to an increase in violence between different groups competing for a share of the cash.
And the region remains mired in poverty. Large areas have erratic electricity supplies, poor water quality, and few functioning schools, health care centres, post offices or police stations.
The only government presence comes in the form of soldiers "occasionally sent in to beat people up", as one Nigeria expert put it. There is very little infrastructure, public works or employment. Partly this is due to the swampy terrain, which makes it difficult to build roads. The oil sector itself provides little employment, as companies need few workers once the oil is coming out of the ground.
To make matters worse, frequent oil spills have affected fish stocks and polluted water sources.
Communities have turned against each other in a bid to get a share of the oil wealth. Some have committed acts of sabotage by damaging pipelines so they can claim compensation or clean-up contracts for the resulting oil spills. Attacks on the industry have seen a 20% cut in oil production since February, posing major headaches for companies such as Shell.
The oil companies have partly themselves to blame for their predicament. Kidnapping has become a lucrative business as the oil firms nearly always pay up. Kidnappings of Nigerian workers take place on an almost daily basis and are resolved quietly. Kidnappings of foreign workers make more of a splash, but usually end in the same fashion, with money handed over and with nobody getting hurt.
Shell's chief executive Jeroen van der Veer has admitted that the company will need a new strategy to address the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, but there has been no word on when this new strategy will be launched. In the meantime, better governance at the state level would make for a big improvement. Until that happens, little will change from the situation as described in an Amnesty international report last year.
"Oil continues to blight rather than benefit the lives of most delta populations. The decades of neglect and deprivation, and the few prospects for fundamental change, have resulted in increasing levels of violence between impoverished communities competing for control of the oil riches and against oil company personnel and property."
Genstar Capital has had a long history of investing in middle market companies active in dynamic markets, including life sciences, business services and industrial technology. In October 2004, the firm held the final closing for Genstar Capital Partners IV, LP for a total of $475 million, expanding the total committed capital to more than $900 million.
David, not sure where you're getting your facts from...
"a publicly owned company has the responsibility to report to the shareholders about their investment on a timely basis. In the USA it is the law..."
I think you mean that companies traded on certain exchanges are required to file material events within 4 business days. As ERHE is on the OTCBB, they do fall within these requirements. I am not aware of any material events that they have been party to that have not been filed. Are you? Additionally, a pr was issued on or around 9/19 with an update to shareholders.
"or trading in your stock is suspended or down graded." Personally, I've never seen or even heard of the SEC suspending a stock because they didn't report to the shareholders "about their investment" on timely basis. I also don't know of any OTCBB stock that is followed by analysts so unsure what you mean about "downgrading".
With this company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and owned by a Nigerian,
ERHE is incorporated in the State of Colorado. While true that a Nigerian owns 43% of the os, I don't think that constitutes "ownership".
Aim, thanks for that info. You may want to let Astra know, however, that the link no longer works. :)
Edit: Well, this time it did?
Ahhhh...
If it's a vote, I like the black but underlined...agree that people won't realize it's a link.
OT: Just Trade Em, I only became asst. moderator last night. And, I got the position because I asked Davidam if he could step in to help with the personal attacks on the board.
I come to this board to read discussion about ACTC, not to watch people bicker. I deleted the message because it contained a personal attack and was about another stock. I'm also going to be deleting the message I'm replying to as it has nothing to do with ACTC.
If you, or anyone else, have disagreements with each other, please take it to private messages. If you are not a premium member, the Parking Lot was set up for this type of discussion.

Oh, sorry. :(
Here's the email:
IMMG is completing a small financing to give the company time to achieve cash flow positive. Unfortunately, the timing has been poor due to the need to wait on a number of client approvals for pending press releases regarding contracts and deployments. The company anticipates receiving the go ahead within days for PR releases. In addition, the company has reduced overhead by an annualized $1.5 Million in the past three weeks in order to arrive at cash flow positive sooner.
There also has been some concern that the last 10Q filed had disclosures that the company was in need of some financing an had indicated that the company could file bankruptcy if they did not receive financinng by 13 September.Obviously, this has been a wrong prediction---and the last stages of that financing are being completed now.
Again, the company is moving forward. The company will be announcing quarter to quarter revenue growth by the Nov 15 filing date, along with a number of IQ Box contracts and deployments.
We hope this information helps.

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING RESULTS
October 3, 2006: Goldmarca Limited (TSX-V:GML) announces that at the Company's annual and special
general meeting held September 29, 2006, all items put forth were approved by the shareholders including
ordinary resolutions to: (i) ratify the Company's stock option plan, pursuant to which the Company may
grant stock options up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant; and
(ii) fix the number of directors at six. Messrs. Robin Slaughter, Nick DeMare and Norman E. Brewster, being
all of management's nominess, were re-elected to the Board. At the meeting 73 shareholders approved the
re-election of Directors by voting 63 million shares in favour out of a total of 65 million shares voted by 74
shareholders. The turn out for the shareholder meeting was excellent with 46% of outstanding shares as at
the record date voted at the meeting. The Board is in the process of reviewing possible new directors that
can assist management take the Company to the next level. Additional directors will be appointed as the
Board completes its review.
Shareholders also approved a special resolution to increase the Company's authorized capital from
US$2,000,000, consisting of 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of US$0.01 per share, to
US$4,000,000 by the creation of an additional 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of US$0.01 per
share, each to rank pari passu with the common shares of the Company. The purpose of this resolution was
to enable warrants issued under previous private placement financings to be exercised. Management is
conscious of minimizing additional shareholder dilution and plans to limit future financings. The Company is
now in the process of implementing this change.
At a directors meeting held subsequent to the shareholders meeting, Mr. Robin Slaughter was appointed
President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Nick DeMare was appointed Chief Financial Officer and
Corporate Secretary.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Robin Slaughter,
President and Chief Executive Officer

My assertation is that none of us know what transpired between SEO and WB. And, "my theory" is that whatever occurred lies in the middle of these extremes being offered on the board.
You're crazy, it's still there. And, after your last post on this board, I don't blame CHCR for deleting your posts.

The thing is there really doesnt even have to be a true short position. IF buyers percive there is and they are willing to buy into what LOOKS like a short squeeze then it is possible that perception becomes reality LOLOLOL
