OT: Gran, I'm not sure if you're aware so thought I'd pass this along in case you aren't. Opening more than one account is cause for "jailing" and/or suspension on Ihub, it's against the tos rules.
So, what most people do is go to the Question and Answer board and REPLY to any post of Matt's or Dave's (grubmaster is his alias) and ask them if their alias can be changed. Or you could send a private message to either of those.

Just found this on the Anadarko website:
Anadarko will be more focused within specific plays and geographic regions, as we divest of existing assets that don't fit into our high-graded portfolio. We'll become a top-tier producer in two of the fastest-growing regions in North America - the U.S. Rockies and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
http://anadarko.com/news/acquisition_strategy.asp
So, while the whole company may not be for sale, maybe (as we've seen re: Canada) certain assets are which could include their rights in the JDZ.
Art, sorry I wasn't saying that the contributions were a negative just that this journalist/editorialist did not present them in a positive light.
Db, after I read the article I went to Anadarko's site to see what they were saying about the sale. And, this is from their pr:
"This divestiture is an important step in refocusing the portfolio and reducing debt following our acquisitions of Kerr-McGee and Western Gas Resources in August, and we are pleased with the value and expediency of this preemptive transaction," Anadarko Chairman, President and CEO Jim Hackett said. "We thank all of our Canadian employees for the value they have created for our shareholders over the past six years and for their contributions to their fellow employees at Anadarko."
And, they've just pr'd a few financing things that are way over my head in terms of what they mean.
(Edit: Sorry meant to include the link.)
http://anadarko.com/investor_relations/news_releases.asp
So, I think they may have gotten in a little too deep with their recent purchases and are now trying to stabilize? BWDIK?!?!
(Edit: Sorry this was supposed to be "new post" not a reply.)
Does this support/detract from the theory that the Belford Dolphin will be stopping by in 2007? Or can both of these scenarios be true and/or likely? I'm not even sure if when they say "West Africa deepwater drilling" they are referring to the JDZ.
"To support its deepwater activity, Anadarko has extended and expanded its access to rigs. In August, the company extended the terms of three deepwater rigs previously contracted by Kerr-McGee and added two incremental rigs. The Ocean Valiant and Ocean Star, owned by Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (NYSE:DO), and the Amos Runner, owned by Noble (NYSE:NE), were extended for additional periods. Diamond Offshore's Ocean Monarch, upon completion of an upgrade in 2008, will be used in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and Noble's Homer Ferrington will be used for Anadarko's 2008 West Africa deepwater drilling program. In total, Anadarko currently has 10 rigs under contract with maximum water-depth capabilities ranging from 5,500 feet to 10,000 feet."

OT: Very strange yet interesting...Have you ever tasted it?
Someone posted this on another board and thought you'd find it interesting.
"French colonists, realising that conditions were ideal for coffee cultivation, first planted coffee in the South Central Highlands region of Vietnam. The coffee also proved popular with a local resident: the common palm civet (Paradoxurus Hermaphoditus), a weasel-like animal, which quickly developed a taste for the sweet, fleshy outer layers of the fruit of the coffee bush.
It was found that the fruit's pits, that is to say the coffee beans themselves, passed though the animal largely undigested and the resulting beans, when washed and sun-dried, had undergone a remarkable change to produce a uniquely delicious flavour. Perhaps this was because the civet would choose only the best and ripest beans to eat, but also because the beans had been modified by enzyme reactions on their journey.
The legendary 'Café Chôn' (also known as Kopi Luwak in Indonesia) is rare, very expensive (approximately US$350 per kilo) and is sometimes of dubious authenticity. Indeed, many people who claim to have tried weasel coffee in Vietnam have probably actually been drinking Trung Nguyên's 'Legendee' coffee."

Thanks, Jim.
Jim, when you get a chance would you tell me what you think of this? I know you're very familiar with Canadian mining and would really appreciate any comments. Thanks much!

According to Robert J. Grawet, Impart's Global Director of Digita Media, "Our selection of MTT will enhance our ability to provide ease of access and technical integration support for our Impart IQ Box(TM) and Impart IQ Interactive(TM) products to the very receptive international community. To address the huge western Russia market demand, we conducted a comprehensive search for a company that had a compatible business mission, with an existing qualified user and dealer channel base that could fulfill integration and service deliverables for out-of-home digital signage and interactive media solutions."
Grawet continued, "MTT was the right choice for Impart with their innovative background in technology research and advanced telecommunications, coupled with a network of OEM accounts, integrators and value added resellers (VAR's) enabling immediate product distribution for digital signage and interactive media applications and satisfying the booming commercial retail and public development in Russia."
Impart Chairman and CEO Joseph F. Martinez added, "We see no reason to limit the Impart IQ Box(TM) product line to only North America.

We are going to team up with key partners that will allow Impart to deploy our 'Grid Infrastructure' globally. This is crucial to the effective and timely delivery of relevant content and targeted advertising to our clients."
MTT Managing Director Nikolay Trushkin noted, "We were seeking a new, scalable approach to digital signage that speaks a universal and common language, via ease of setup, web user interaction, and deployment with creative message effectiveness in communicating to a narrowcast audience. Our decision to move forward and integrate our media solution projects with the Impart IQ Box(TM) and Impart IQ Interactive(TM) was easy. Both products complement our need to satisfy our dramatically expanding user base in greater Moscow, where the construction rate for new shopping centers and retail stores is unparalleled. Demand for digital signage and point-of-purchase interactive is expanding all across Russia."
The terms of the Distributor Agreement were not disclosed, but both companies are forecasting a minimum of 750 digital signage or kiosk systems, comprised of either Impart IQ Box(TM) or Impart IQ Interactive(TM), to be sold by year-end 2007.

Here's a board I've found helpful.
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=6743
That was absolutely hilarious!!
Thanks, Homeport.
Btw, you don't by any chance have a link to the most updated Articles of Incorporation do you? (Just kidding.)
Glty.
I just got -1 on the ACTC board under "new posts".
"We are making a comeback in SP shortly."
Geesh, you've been saying that for MONTHS...make it happen! :)
Edit: Sorry got an error message the first time I tried to post and didn't think it went through.
JB, they did release it as a PR also. And, as Walldog (I think) pointed out earlier, it was after hours so no trading could be done on the information after posted here but before it hit the wires.
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/9/prweb436282.htm
Thank you very much.
Good morning, Irish! Thanks for this board, it's already provided some great information for me.
I also have a question. Are OTCBB companies' required by anyone to have a shareholder's meeting? I checked the SEC, OTCBB, NASD and Investopedia sites and have been unable to find anything that suggests this is a requirement.
From my readings, it seems as though the only time a shareholder's meeting is required is when something must be voted on by the shareholders. So, if there's nothing to be voted on, do they still have to have the meeting?
Which brings me to my next question, who determines what is voted on by shareholders and/or the board of directors? Is it the bylaws of the company or is there a regulatory agency that determines this?
Further, if it is required and does not occur, are there any repercussions to the company?
If anyone has any suggestions on where I might find this information, I'd really appreciate the help.
There's a new board here (Ir for Investors) and he says he's meeting with a couple of senators to discuss problems in market. Thought you might be interested:

Error in journal confuses stem cell debate
Company researchers said method won’t destroy embryo, but their tests did
Updated: 10:05 p.m. ET Sept 1, 2006
NEW YORK - An advance in stem cell research that was intended to resolve moral differences over the promising but controversial field has ignited fresh conflict instead.
Because stem cells can turn into virtually any type of human tissue, they hold promise for treating a host of human maladies. But critics have argued that creating the cells for research is wrong because it requires the destruction of human embryos in their earliest stages.
Scientists say the field's progress is seriously hampered by federal funding restrictions that are motivated by those moral objections.
Last week, the California biotech company Advanced Cell Technology proposed a way out of the impasse. Writing in the scientific journal Nature, ACT researchers described a way to make stem cells from single cells that had been removed from embryos. Because fertility doctors routinely remove single cells from embryos for genetic testing and then successfully implant them, the technique could in theory be used to create stem cells without destroying human embryos.
An e-mail sent to reporters by Nature before the paper's online publication stated that company researchers "have been able to generate new lines of cultured embryonic stem (ES) cells while leaving the embryo intact."
In reality, however, the embryos used by the company were destroyed in the course of developing the method. The researchers removed an average of five to six cells from each embryo rather than one to improve their chances of success. Removing that many cells at such an early stage of development effectively destroys an embryo.
Within hours of the paper's release, the journal issued a pair of clarifications to the original e-mail that corrected the mistake. But several media outlets included the error in their own accounts.
The Associated Press' stories did not address the fate of the embryos, instead focusing solely on the technique.
Robert Lanza, vice president of research and scientific development at Advanced Cell Technology, said the technique is the important thing, not how it was developed.
"The concept and implications of the study remain completely unchanged," he said.
Critics of stem cell research said the company had not been sufficiently clear about how their experiments were conducted.
"I'm not saying the Nature article was false, but it certainly misled a lot of people," said Richard Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Company officials protested that the fate of embryos in their laboratory has no bearing on the scientific value of the research that comes out of it. Using the techniques they developed, they said, future researchers can create stem cells without destroying embryos.
Having such a capability could be useful because U.S. law currently bans federal funding of any research that harms human embryos. In an August 2001 decision, President Bush allowed federal funding for research on the few dozen cell lines that had been created up to that point. But researchers say they need hundreds of lines to move the science forward.
"I think the degree of protest here is the result of the importance of this breakthrough," said Ronald Green, chairman of Advanced Cell Technology's ethics advisory board and a professor of religion at Dartmouth College. "If the president were to turn around tomorrow and authorize stem cell lines produced in this way, in two years' time we could have three to four hundred stem cells lines."
Other scientists have expressed reservations about the significance of the research, saying that it needs to be confirmed through replication. Many would prefer to keep creating stem cells using the current technology, which requires the destruction of embryos about five days into development. At that stage, they constitute a ball of about 100 to 150 cells.

Google and Ebay to forge alliance
By Richard Waters in San Francisco
Published: August 28 2006 11:35 | Last updated: August 28 2006 11:35
Google and Ebay are set to announce a ground-breaking partnership on Monday that links the fortunes of the online giants at a time when their strategies had threatened to put them increasingly on a collision course.
The alliance, which echoes a deal reached in May between Yahoo! and Ebay, will further isolate Microsoft at a time when the software developer has sought partnerships of its own to accelerate its internet initiatives.
By creating a more complex network of dependencies between the leading online companies, the deal could also serve to dampen speculation about mergers in the industry that has been rife in recent months.
Ebay said it had given Google an exclusive contract to supply text-based advertising for its websites outside the US, echoing its earlier agreement to carry advertising from Yahoo in its home market. Also, the companies announced a non-exclusive worldwide “click-to-call” advertising agreement under which they will carry their respective voice services – Ebay’s Skype and Google Talk – on each other’s shopping and search pages. Click-to-call adverts create an online voice connection between a web user and advertiser.
Concern that Google would expand into online commerce and payments has cast a shadow over Ebay recently and is frequently mentioned on Wall Street as one of the biggest reasons for underperformance in the online auction company’s shares over the past 18 months. The threat from Google was also seen as one of the main reasons for Ebay’s alliance with Yahoo.
Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer of Google, said the latest alliance “underscores how much we value Ebay as a partner”.
The two companies already have one close tie, in that Ebay, alongside Amazon.com, is thought to be one of the two biggest buyers of keyword advertising on Google’s search engine.
Ebay’s deal with Google stops short of its Yahoo relationship in at least two significant ways. While Yahoo is to supply display as well as text advertising to Ebay, Google is not in the display business, though it has said it plans to enter it at some stage. Also, Yahoo has agreed to carry PayPal, Ebay’s online payment service, on its sites, while Google recently launched its own payment service.
The agreement to supply ads to Ebay’s international sites is the latest in a string of important partnerships for Google, following similar deals with AOL and MySpace.
Those deals have been won ahead of Microsoft, which is looking to win wider distribution for its own online advertising service, and which sealed an alliance with Facebook, a social networking site, last week.

Shell discovers oil at two deepwater fields off Nigeria
Oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell announced on Thursday it has made discoveries at two deepwater fields off Nigeria but further appraisal is required to determine their resource potential.
"We are naturally thrilled by these exploration successes in deepwater Nigeria... These recent discoveries have been made in a difficult geological frontier setting," said Chima Ibeneche, head of the firm's affiliate, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd..
Bobo-1X well was drilled until July 16 to a total depth of 5, 173 meters in 2,479 meters of water, the second deepest well in offshore Nigeria, Shell said in a statement.
Etan-1X well was drilled until February 20 to a total depth of 4,574 meters in 1,720 meters of water, the statement said.
The wells were drilled by Transocean's rig, the Deepwater Pathfinder, under a unique rig sharing initiative with other Nigeria-based operators, fully supported by the Nigerian government, it added.
Nigeria is Africa's top oil producer with a daily out of about 2.4 million barrels, while Shell accounts for half of the west African country's oil production.
