Wow, Homeport, thank you for sharing this.
Thursday, November 23rd, this year. Always on the 4th Thursday in November here in the US.
May be wrong, but I think it can say "no posts" because whatever was posted was deleted.
I think it's because it's what was being reported in China in re: to OBO 1. I found it interesting that "they" made this claim...although I was hoping it was more recent. :)
"Chevron Texaco Corporation and ExxonMobil companies in the West African island nation of Sao Tome and Principe discovered significant oil resources. In the sea of oil wells Obo1 found, the drilling of boreholes showed 多 contains over 10 million barrels of oil and gas.
"
Thanks, Jim. eom.
BB, I can't get the links to work - can you tell me what the date on this is? Tia.
Very well said, Rheddle. Thanks.
Well, in that case, I'd like to be considered for the "Industry Expert" (or Engineer, no actually Geoligist, geez, can't remember what's it called but...) I think I've got the skills to take us far.
Have you hired your CFO? Anyone we know?
Can you just post the link? And, thanks for this info.
Google to distribute MTV programming
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Google Inc. and Viacom Inc. are expected Monday to announce that Google later this month begin distributing video clips from Viacom's MTV Networks to about 200 Web sites catering to young adults and teen-agers, in effect syndicating the programming to the Internet, according to a media report.
GOOG will begin the service with clips from MTV programs including "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Laguna Beach" to select Web sites and blogs that belong to its advertising network, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition. See Wall Street Journal story (subscription required).
The clips will be embedded with video advertising and the resulting ad revenue will be shared among Viacom, Google and other Web sites that run the clips, The Journal said, adding that the move would give Viacom a much broader reach than traffic to its own Web Sites.
Google now uses the network to place paid-search ads for advertisers, The Journal said.
"Our technology takes MTV's video, marries it to an ad, and shows it on a third site. No one's ever done this before," The Journal quoted Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt as saying. "If this works, it would be a very large business for all players."
Viacom said a major advantage in using Google's advertising network is that it can stipulate placement of its content, The Journal said. The partner destinations, which include Popsugar, a celebrity gossip forum and music site Rapgodfather, typically draw 100,000 to 150,000 unique visitors a month, The Journal said.
Google will also offer episodes of MTV Networks programs, such as "Jackass" and "Beavis & Butthead" for purchase on its site, The Journal reported.
Middle East anti-America sentiment boosts African oil
August 7, 2006, 1 hour, 41 minutes and 54 seconds ago.
By ANDnetwork .com
With anti-American sentiment growing in the Middle East - particulary becasue of their support for the Isaeli war in Lebanon - America has started looking towards Africa as an alternative source of oil.
Saudi Arabia, the number one supplier of oil in the world and to the US, last week openly criticised the pro-Israeli stance of the US on the war. Analysts see this as a significant shift in the position of US allies in the region, and a hardening of anti-American sentiment in the Persian Gulf.
West Africa is the major beneficiary of this rising anti-American feeling in the Middle East, which first gained currency with the war on terror declared by the US after the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.
Conscious of this, the US started looking away from the Middle East and towards Africa, even before the impetus provided by the current Israeli-Lebanese war, whose heavy civilian casualty on the Lebanese side has generated universal outrage.
US President George W Bush had in a State of the Union address early this year, proposed steps to "make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past".
Analysing the shift already made in this direction, Brett Schaefer, a research fellow in regulatory affairs at the Heritage Foundation, Washington, declared on 7 March 2006 that "Africa is increasingly important to the US as a source of oil".
He said the country’s oil imports from sub-Saharan Africa had leapt 33% since 1999, while imports from the Middle East had decreased.
In 2005, Schaefer said sub-Saharan Africa supplied 18% of US oil imports.
West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea accounts for 78% of this, with Nigeria being the overwhelming source. West Africa is projected to account for 25% of total US oil imports within this decade. Some 25% of Nigeria’s oil output is exported to the US.
In pursuit of this new direction, the US has recently been paying greater attention to security in the Gulf of Guinea.
Earlier in 2006, the commander of US naval forces in Europe, Admiral Henry Ulrich, paid visits to some nations in the Gulf of Guinea, including Ghana, Sao Tome and Gabon. During the visit, he said though that the US did not intend establishing a physical presence in the Gulf of Guinea.
It would offer training and other forms of assistance to the states in the region to strengthen their capacity for ensuring security in the area.
The shifting US attention could be beneficial to Nigeria with new fields coming on-stream, particularly from offshore.
It could also stir up the debate as to whether the nation should retain its membership of OPEC, whose quota Nigeria has been bursting in recent times.

And, lol, is asst. moderator. :)
Thanks, it always nice when someone takes the time to help.
I've never done aon orders as I thought a few of something that I thought was going up was better than none. But, that's actually a good suggestion for me, since sometimes I place small trades when I'm tentative about the decision I'm making. It's just not worth my time to have "half of that small trade". So, thanks.
I have a question here that I'm hoping someone can answer. I am fairly new to this and don't understand why I often get "partial" fills. They almost always fill 1/2 of my order - no matter how many shares I'm wanting.
And, yes, I'm always below ask but is there a rhyme or reason to this? If I want 10k shares, should I put in an order for 20k so I'll get what I want? (Edit: Ok, I know this doesn't make sense, but what I'm asking "is there a strategy to combat this?")
This may be investing 101, but I just haven't figured it out yet.
Right, so IF anything of signficance was signed on 8/1, ERHE would have until Monday to file.
Yeah, it is hard to find, drove me crazy when I first tried to find it (page 27, 3rd column, 1/2 way down).
"Unless otherwise specified, a report is to be
filed or furnished within four business
days after occurrence of the event. If the
event occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday on which the Commission is not
open for business, then the four
business day period shall begin to run
on, and include, the first business day
thereafter."
http://sec.gov/rules/final/33-8400.pdf
Manti - I think they have until Monday (4 days) and as I understand it, a positive PR Monday before open is much more effective than after hours on a Friday.
Of course, this is all (as you said) IF, there's anything to report.
OT: Below is a link to "Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels"...I'm only on page 8 of 49 but have found it very informative so far. (If you want to "preview" opening remarks I posted on JDZ board.)

(contd)
Not only have discoveries of supergiants dwindled to nil in the 21st century but yearly oil
finds have plummeted to between four and six billion barrels a year. There is little hope that this
trend will be reversed in the near future because most of the planet’s petroleum provinces have
now been explored for petroleum and there is only one last frontier area remaining—that of
Antarctica, with its pristine wilderness and its population of some 20 million penguins.
The decline of global oil production seems now irreversible. It is bound to occur over a
number of transitions, the first of which I have called transition 1, which has just begun in 2006.
Transition 1 has a very benign gradient of decline, and it will take months before one notices it at
all. But transition 2 will be far steeper, and each successive transition will show more
pronounced declining gradients. My WOCAP model has predicted that over the next 14 years
present global production of 81 million barrels per day will decrease by roughly 32 per cent,
down to around 55 million barrels per day by the year 2020.
Thus in the face of peak oil and its multiple consequences, which are bound to impact upon
almost all aspects of our human standards of life, it seems imperative to get prepared to face all
the inevitable shockwaves resulting from that. Preparation should be carried out on individual,
familial, societal and national levels as soon as possible. Every preparative step taken today will
prove far cheaper than any step taken tomorrow. I thank you for your attention during my
opening statement, and I am ready now to try, to the best of my abilities, to reply to any
questions that you have.
Here's intro:
SAMSAM BAKHTIARI, Dr Ali Morteza, Private capacity
CHAIR (Senator Siewert)—I welcome Dr Samsam Bakhtiari. These are public hearings,
although the committee may agree to a request to have evidence heard in camera or may
determine that certain evidence should be heard in camera. I remind all witnesses that in giving
evidence to the committee they are protected by parliamentary privilege. It is unlawful for
anyone to threaten or disadvantage a witness on account of evidence given to a committee, and
such action may be treated as a contempt by a committee. It is also a contempt to give false or
misleading evidence to a committee. If a witness objects to answering a question, the witness
should state the ground on which the objection is taken and the committee will consider whether
it will insist on an answer, having regard to the ground which is claimed. If the committee
determines to insist on an answer, a witness may request to have that answer given in camera
and can also ask for that at any other time. For this part of the program, with the committee’s
agreement, I propose that we first hear Dr Samsam Bakhtiari’s opening remarks and then go to
questions, firstly on the issue of the key peak oil arguments then looking at the sceptical, antipeak
arguments. I would like to welcome Dr Ali Samsam Bakhtiari, who has been kind enough
to rearrange his schedule so that he can appear before us and speak with us. I invite you to make
an opening statement.
Dr Samsam Bakhtiari—Thank you, Madam Chair and distinguished senators. I will begin
with a short opening statement for you to consider. Crude oil is a commodity unlike any other. It
is simultaneously a strategic raw material, a unique industrial feedstock and the most essential of
fuels. It is also the most conveniently and widely traded form of energy and therefore the swing
element in the world’s energy mix. It is no wonder that the price of crude oil is the most
important figure quoted daily worldwide. Its relevance could well rise significantly in the near
future as the impact of peak oil or, in other words, the peaking of global crude oil production,
becomes evident to all and sundry.
At present, worldwide crude oil output is stagnant at around 81 million barrels a day, give or
take one million barrels. OPEC’s 11 member countries are now limited to a maximum of 31
million barrels per day, having produced only 29.35 million barrels in May 2006, and the socalled
non-OPEC countries, which represent the rest of the world, are capped at 50 million
barrels per day. Thus the world now produces and consumes some 30 billion barrels in each
single year.
Most of the world’s major producers are struggling to keep oil production on an even keel,
especially both the OPEC and non-OPEC champions—that is, Saudi Arabia and Russia—which
are both producing some nine million barrels a day at present while facing almost
insurmountable problems to avoid declines in the near future. Moreover, most of the world’s
supergiant oilfields are now getting old and some of them have entered terminal decline. Suffice
it to mention the three largest ones: Saudi Arabia’s Ghawar, Mexico’s Cantarell and Kuwait’s
Greater Burgan oilfields, which are surely but steadily going downhill. The last supergiant to be
discovered was the Kashagan oilfield in the north Caspian Sea offshore from Kazakhstan back in
1999, and it is now scheduled to begin initial production in 2008-09.
Below is a link to "Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels"...I'm only on page 8 of 49 but have found it very informative so far. Instruct - you may want to consider for "board info" as it's very detailed and up to date.

A man is driving down a road. A woman is driving down the same road from the opposite direction. As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells "PIG!!"
The man immediately leans out his window and yells, "BITCH!!"
They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next curve, he crashes into a huge pig in the middle of the road.
MORAL OF THE STORY: If only men would listen.
Just saw this.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
Companies have four days to file a Form 8-K for the events specified in the items in Sections 1-5 and 9 above.

So, why not someone from the Audit Committee?
msg#67845
On my favorites just now, under Q&A Board it said "-2" under new messages...
Edit - guess I should've read the board before posting.
Alwright - I'm a novice when it comes to the technicals of Finance and Auditing but, shouldn't someone on the "Audit Committee" be able to handle this? Anyone?
"3. The audit committee of the Company, made up of Walter Brandhuber and Nicolae
Luca, both not being independent directors within the meaning of the
regulations, was dissolved and a new audit committee constituted. The new audit
committee is made up of the following non-executive directors:
o Howard Jeter ii. Andrew Uzoigwe iii. Clement Nwizubo"
"Mr. Nwizubo, 54, is currently President of Clement E. Nwizubo, CPA, PC, a New-York based firm which he founded in 1987. From 1985 to 1987, Mr. Nwizubo was the Manager of Financial and Accounting Reporting at Primerica Corporation. From 1983 to 1985, he was the Audit Manager of Watson Rice and Company. Between 1980 and 1983 he worked as a senior accountant with Stewart Benjamin and Brown. Mr.
Nwizubo is a Certified Public Accountant. He took a BS in Accounting and Business Administration in 1977 from Oneonta State College, NY and an MBA in 1980 from Fordham University. Mr. Nwizubo is a US citizen."
Yep, I would've like to see .55 but glad some of the other predictions didn't pan out. I'll take even...
Ahem (clearing my throat)...

China official says oil stockpiling to be a gradual process; no impact on prices
07.30.2006, 11:38 PM
HONG KONG (XFN-ASIA) - China's filling of its first-ever strategic oil stockpile will be a gradual process and should not affect global oil prices in a significant way, the Wall Street Journal quoted a senior Chinese government official as saying.
'The stockpiling effort is likely to persist for tens of years, so it really doesn't matter when China starts filling these reserves,' it quoted Xu Yongsheng, deputy director of the energy bureau under the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic-planning body, as saying.
'Also, given the limited volume that China's going to fill, it won't have too much impact on international oil prices,' Xu was quoted as saying in an interview in Vientiane, Laos last week.
China is pushing ahead on a long-held oil-reserve plan aimed at cushioning its rapidly expanding economy from potential supply disruptions or price volatility.
China's stockpiling plan has sparked concerns that any oil buying would lift oil prices to more records.
'Of course we have no intention of starting the filling process now, when oil prices are above 70 dollars a barrel,' Xu said.
Xu also said that if global prices remain firm, China's oil demand is likely to ease in coming years. While demand for transport fuels may grow with rising car sales, industrial consumption may moderate, he said.
