rager,
The penis of the ancient harvestmen insects, commonly known as a daddy-long-legs, was two-thirds the length of the body
My first thought was that "daddy-long-legs" seems to be a bit of a misnomer.
NuAge Electric OTC BB: (WHSL)
One of the original enginers at the start of intel and co-developer of the computer chip develops new product.
Whistler Investments, Inc (OTCBB:WHSL), announced that it has completed its acquisition from NuAge Electric, www.nuageelectric.net, of a 100% interest in a license to manufacture and sell electric vehicles and products using the NuPow'r electric power drive system technology. What is the technology? NuPow'r LLC., (NPL), is a 'new age' electric vehicle and electric products development company founded by Chaz Haba - One of the original Intel Engineers, assisted with the invention of the 'computer chip' in the late 50's with Fairchild, and the largest single investor in Apple Computer in the 70's. Known as the Thomas Edison of the new millennium, together with his associate engineers and physicists, he's changing the world as we know it. This patented technology has allowed the team to test a Nu Age electric sports car at speeds of 125 mph for over 250 miles.
The Lexus 2054 is featured in the Steven Spielberg futuristic detective thriller "Minority Report" Starring Tom Cruise. This vehicle is powered by our 500KW power system.
The Opportunity
An assessment of market opportunities for zero emission vehicles and alternative power systems shows us to be where the semiconductor market was in the 1960's. In recent developments the company converted and tested a gasoline powered scooter and moped for Hero Cycles of India and post conversion test results exceeded Hero's expectations by 35%. Hero Cycles, www.herocycles.com, a name synonymous with two wheelers in India and the world's largest manufacturer of bicycles, (listed in the Guiness Book of World Records) is today a multi-unit, multi-product, geographically diversified Group of companies with alliances with major companies in Europe, North America and Asia, including Honda in Japan. A letter of Intent is in place with Hero, and a meeting is set for next week to formalize a major Joint Venture agreement to manufacture and market 2 & 3 wheeled vehicles using the NuPow'r system.

bb,
I also saw that happen a few years back - different stock. It went from sub-sub penny to almost $.02 if I remember correctly. However, about 2-3 weeks before the vote to increase, the CD holders started shorting in anticipation of the increase(mgmt. held more than 50% of the vote). Short 1st, convert & cover later.
No guarantee that would happen with THTHF but I guess you should be aware.
PLKC - Mr. Bain filed a form 4 this AM reporting an acquisition of 13 million shares in August. His total ownership is now over 25 million shares.
Was this info. already known? I don't recall.
Justin,
It was great fun in the early days there, and then it seemed to turn more serious and now has just about dried up.
Yep. Once the novelty wore off and one by one people started to disappear, "the thrill was gone". It was great fun when I first found "the net" back in '97 tho. I think Dennis said it best one day - it's now become a thread of music obits! :)
Elvis played a football player? How did they ever get a helmet over that hair? LOL!
Justin,
Yes, excellent guess. My original plan was to change my username to NLIONGUY on all boards I post on, but I never really got around to it. As it is, I'm some variation on all boards - I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out it's the same person tho. I reckon the overuse of the "-" gives it away. <g>
As far as Mr. Nixon passing us up - well, he made more than a few bad decisions in his 1 and 1/2 terms in office. IMO, of course. <vbg>
ksquared,
I look for Clarett to transfer to a Div. 1-AA school. That way he can play next year & be eligible for the draft on schedule. He could accomplish the same thing @ Ohio State but I doubt he would be welcomed by his teammates now. He really let them down.
Justin,
Being the C/W fan you are, have you ever heard or gone to FanFare in Nashville? I was there this past June - amazing since I've never been a huge C/W person. However, it was really a great time and I actually enjoyed a lot of the music. Some of those people are just Rock'n Roll with cowboy hats, IMO.
Saw Montgomery Gentry, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Sara Evans, Brad Paisley, and a whole bunch of performers I'd never heard of. Worth the trip if you've never attended - I enjoyed the comradery of the fans too. The drive was a killer tho!
Justin,
Nice to see you here - we have met before, have we not? ;)
So you remember that game, huh? Do you also remember the Presidential firestorm Nixon created by "arbitrarily" presenting the winner of that game with the national title? There was a 3rd undefeated team that year - a team that had won something like 30 straight football games. Let's just say I'll never forget it! <g>
But that state's favorite son, Mr. Clinton, is available
That's what Hillary says too. LOL!
Colt,
Well, I guess we've all been there. Sorry it had to happen so soon for your guys - especially against an old rival like Arkansas. I never expected this. Quite an upset. At least you have lots of time to regroup & still make a charge tho.
Fortunately Mr. Nixon isn't still around to name Ark. the #1 team because of that win - sorry, I couldn't resist. ;)
Best of luck next week.
ksquared,
Halftime in my game - Nebraska seems to be doing everything they can to lose this game. Not sure I know what that's all about but if it makes them happy ........ <g>
Congrats on that big win against the Irish. Talk about total domination! I guess your team is for real. Ohio State continues to win any way they can - that game this year is looking to be a real barn burner. Mich. moving up this week, for sure.
Agreed. ETCR
Pat,
I'd like to see a "K" & 2 "Q's" on that one too. I'm holding & I'm not sure why.
ETCR
I think the O/S is closer to 70 million including the 2 recent s-8's. I sold for a double today - didn't want to hold over weekend & I'm perfectly satisfied with what I got.
Best of luck to those still holding.
EDIT: AACS
Hi ksquared,
I finally saw his moving video "Hurt" just the other night. Interesting that it was his last:
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Thank you, Colt. Hope you're right. In the meantime, I'm thinking Joe would look better on a box of Fruit Loops. ;)
SPECIAL ALERT
Elite Flight (OTCBB: EFLT)
Near Term Target Price: $.34
Shares Outstanding 48 million
Approx. Float 17 million
Near Term Target Price $.34
A Few Reasons to Own EFLT:
Charter Aviation Business is a Multi Billion Dollar Business
Term sheet signed for $10,000,000 financing package to fund ELFTs growth.
ELFT Announces new 10,000 square foot hangar facility at Sarasota International Airport to house corporate headquarters. Includes space for four jets.
ELFT Acquires Three Jets and Adds Another on Management Contract for its Sarasota, FL facility.
ELFT Signs Agreement with American Air Network of St. Louis, MO, a Leader in Charter Aviation for 25 years. The agreement gives ELFT access to American Airs' fleet of 45 jets.
ELFT and American Air sign an agreement to provide air ambulance aircraft, flight and maintenance personnel and related aviation services to Yukon-Kushkokwin Health Corporation of Alaska.
ELFT Anticipates Revenues under the joint venture to be approximately $4 Million Dollars annually for the five-year term to total $20 Million Dollars during the life of the initial contract.
ELFT adds an additional 10,000 square foot hangar facility at its Sarasota, FL Headquarters.
ELFT leases a 7,000 square foot hangar in Anchorage, Alaska to service its Air Ambulance Operations for the Yukon-Kushkokwin Health Corporation.
About
ELFT has an extensive network of charter jets. ELFT will provide a one-stop-shop for client air charter needs. Additionally, service agents are on call 24 hours a day to handle any request, from booking a last minute flight to full concierge service. ELFT is not only available to major commercial airports, but in excess of over 5,000 airports nationwide. ELFT fills a niche that still has plenty of room for growth. Clients no longer have to deal with congestion, lines, flight delays, or security worries. Finally, clients may pay for one trip at a time and have the ability to tailor services to their specific travel needs.
EFLT has focused their attention and activities in three specific areas of operations. The Yukon-Kushkokwin air ambulance contract, the American Air Network acquisition and the Sarasota headquarters.
Yukon-Kushkokwin.:
ELFT has landed a major government contract to provide air ambulance and related aviation services to the Yukon-Kushkokwin Health system in Alaska. The operations will be based out of Anchorage, Alaska where ELFT has recently acquired a hangar and office complex as their base of operations for Alaska. The contract provided a minimum number of billable hours resulting in a minimum revenue base of $4,000,000 annually over a five year term for a total of $20,000,000 in base revenues. The actual number of hour billed could be significantly higher and the EFLT is budgeting for a minimum of $6,000,000.00 in annual revenues.
American Air Network:
ELFT is pursuing an acquisition of American Air Network of St. Louis, MO. American Air Network has been a leader in charter aviation for over 25 years. Their current charter certificate lists over fifty aircraft. The expertise and assets obtained with a merger could send Elite to the forefront of the national charter aviation companies.
Sarasota Headquarters:
ELFT has leased two hangar facilities and offices at the Sarasota International Airport in Sarasota, FL (SRQ). The facility gives ELFT a quality foundation for acquiring premium aircraft with access to pilots and a growing charter business clientele in the lucrative South Florida market. In the past three months, the Company has acquired two Lear 35 jets, a Lear 25, and a Citation III jet aircraft.
Investment Opportunity
The charter aviation business is directly related to and impacted by the world's economy. The private jet business expanded in the late 90's as a result of the success of the dot.com industry. The wealth generated by successful dot.com companies gave numerous individuals the opportunity to enjoy the luxury of private jet travel that were never able to experience this before. The wealth of the dot.com individuals and their quest for private jet travel, also pushed up prices of aircraft and charter services to a level never before experienced. When wealth associated with the dot.com industry dissipated, the charter aviation business was impacted as well. The elevated prices of aircraft and charter services fell substantially as fewer individuals could afford private jet travel and numerous privately owned planes came on the market for resale at a deep discount. As an example, EFLT believes that a Gulfstream III, that sold in 1999 for thirteen million dollars ($13,000,000), today sells for six million dollars ($6,000,000).
Many companies and individuals are going back to private jet travel for the safety and security that it offers. This trend is continuing and the private charter aviation business is slowly but progressively seeing an increase in sales volume and profit margins. EFLT believes that the current trends in the private aviation business positions EFLT to execute and successfully expand its business.
EFLT believes that the charter business with preferential pricing, especially for frequent customers, is in a position to grow substantially over the next few years. As the economy picks up steam, charter aviation will be at the forefront of the recovery. With terrorist threats still in place, more and more business and wealthy recreational travelers will seek out the convenience and safety of jet charters. Elite's Alaskan air ambulance contract gives the Company some long term steady cash flow from a governmental agency that will allow Elite some time to build it's charter aviation business with more traditional customers. The air ambulance contract will start September 29, 2003
Valuation
Like Ole' Blue Eyes Once Sang " Come Fly With Me, Let's Fly, Fly Fly Away" Well not exactly but maybe you get the Picture.
In Looking at Previous PR's from EFLT, it appears to us that EFLT is making a Real, Real attempt to Keep their PR Machine Well Oiled. This is commendable and we especially like the Periodic PR Updates that summarize EFLT's' recent activities.
In reviewing EFLT's Most Recent PR, in our opinion, we think with Senior Managements Experience and Expertise, EFLT's Agrresive Strategy for Growth Might make Sense.
Don't take our word for it, You Be The Judge.
With a $10 Million Dollar Line of Credit in place to be used as the equity portion to finance New Planes, and a Contract with Yukon-Kushkokwin that Begins on September 29th, 2003, we think that EFLT has set the pace for Future Revenue and Profit Growth.
In our opinion, EFLT is a Penny Stock with a Multi Dollar Potential. The stock may be one of the year's BIG surprises, making its current status as an undiscovered stock a rare timing opportunity for investors. Don't overlook this one! We not only consider EFLT an attractive "Emerging Growth Company," in our opinion, but also a "Value Stock" based on recent PR.
One way to value a company is to look at its peers in the industry. Relative to comparative companies within the Services Sector, EFLT could realize superior growth in business and earnings over the near-to-intermediate term period. A grouping of comparable companies within this sector currently trades at an average price to sales multiple of 2.72 times.
As reported in recent PR, EFLT is Forecasting Revenues of about $5-6 Million Dollars for 2004 (just based on the one air ambulance contract NOT INCLUDING EFLT's OTHER BUSINESSES)
If over the Near Term EFLT were to trade in the marketplace in line with its peers, then based on Publicly Forecasted Revenues of $6 Million Dollars next year, with about 48 Million Shares Outstanding, this would Equate to a Near Term Target Price of $0.34 Per Share.
Like we said earlier "Don't Overlook This One", Keep a Really, Really Close EYE ON This New High Flyer, and as always, Watch This Stock Trade.
Conclusion
Like many exciting opportunities that we uncover, EFLT is a development stage company that may be poised to move to the next level. Once the rollout of EFLT's Ambulance Contract and services begins in earnest we believe that good things could happen including a higher market capitalization and potential rapid stock price appreciation, as the investing public becomes more aware of EFLT's potential.

Clarett Suspended For 2003 Season
Sept. 10, 2003
AP
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett, accused of lying to NCAA and school investigators, will be suspended for the entire season.
"This is a sad day," Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger said Wednesday as he announced the penalty.
Scott Schiff, Clarett's attorney, said Ohio State will not take away Clarett's scholarship, but he may not stay at the school.
"He's considering his options right now," Schiff said.
Clarett, his mother and Schiff met earlier Wednesday with Geiger.
Clarett had been suspended from the team while the NCAA and Ohio State investigated his finances. Ohio State has been working for more than two weeks on a response to "several pages" of allegations sent by the NCAA to the university.
Geiger said before each season Ohio State players are presented a copy of NCAA Bylaw 10 which deals with ethical conduct and not lying to investigators.
"You play by the rules, you live by the rules," Geiger said.
Geiger said Clarett was guilty of 14 violations of the ethical-conduct bylaw and two violations of receiving preferential treatment or benefits because he is an athlete.
Geiger said Clarett would be required to make a donation to a charity of his choice equal to the amount he received in benefits. Ohio State can appeal for Clarett's reinstatement after the year suspension is complete.
"We hope the NCAA decides that the penalties are sufficient," Geiger said.
If Clarett transfers, the NCAA requires the new school to declare him ineligible, then seek his reinstatement through the NCAA. He would have to sit out a year in addition to any suspension or ineligibility handed down by the NCAA in order to play at another Division I-A school. Clarett could play immediately after he is reinstated in a smaller division.
He could also try to go to the NFL and challenge the rule that requires players to wait three years after high school to enter the draft.
Schiff said he was troubled that Clarett is not permitted to appeal the NCAA penalties. The association's rules only permit a school to appeal.
"The most important thing I think is that the inherent problem with the NCAA procedures is the lack of due process and the lack of any procedure for the student-athlete himself to appeal the NCAA findings," Schiff said.
Clarett set Ohio State freshman records last season with 1,237 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns.
His last carry for the Buckeyes ranks among the most memorable in school history. He scored on a 5-yard run in the second overtime to give Ohio State a 31-24 victory over Miami in the Fiesta Bowl and its first national championship in 34 years.
"It's very difficult on them," said former NFL star Jim Brown, who spoke to the Clarett's after the meeting. "They're torn between so many emotions. Really, just trying to follow the process, do the right thing and weigh their options."
After the meeting with Geiger, Michelle Clarett was asked if her son was considering transferring.
"Nothing has been decided if we go, if we stay, if we dance or not," she said. "So Clarett's mother did not return a phone message seeking comment on the suspension.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said he would not stand in the way and would recommend that the university grant Clarett a release from his scholarship if Clarett asked for one.
Clarett was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor falsification for lying about items stolen from his car. If convicted, Clarett would face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but probably would get probation.
Unrelated to the suspension, Clarett also is being investigated by an Ohio State panel looking into allegations of academic improprieties involving athletes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As June 24, 2003
Tango Incorporated (OTCBB:TNGO) is a Screen Printer with operations in Portland, Seattle and New York. Tango claims to be the best commercial grade technical Screen Printer in the world. This distinction makes Tango a unique company because it can produce a commercial quality of print unrivalled by any competitor and priced to compete at any level of retail consumption. Excellence at all levels of production, sourcing and distribution sets Tango apart from any of its' competitors.
Tango produces for many of the major brands. These are Nike, Chaps Ralph Lauren, Nike Jordan and many others. Tango has been able to secure these well known brands by producing the best commercial quality screen printing at a reasonable cost to its' clients. Tango's success is generated from three key elements. The first is the experience of the management team. The second is the research and development that keeps Tango at the cutting edge of the industry. Lastly and the most importantly is the fact that Tango produces a quality product and delivers on time.
Tango currently operates in a 40,000 square facility housing 6 automatic presses, 6 manual presses, 5 dryers, 2 folding machines as well as other necessary equipment. Tango currently has 80 employees, with plans to increase its employee count to a total of 180 employees over the next three years. The increased demand for Tango product is expected largely as a result of the variety of techniques and processes that make Tango unique due to its' unsurpassed capabilities, which provides a significant advantage for its' customers to sell product at retail.
Tango was set up 10 years ago, and is currently positioned for tremendous growth. The current facility has been built to allow the company to seize market share, increase capacity and become the market leader in quality screen printing in the world. The quality management team, the unique production procedures and the physical facility allow Tango to be exceptionally positioned. The market cap for the apparel industry is $43.7 billion. Whether the apparel industry is contracting or expanding, there is always a demand for new and better designs, and Tango has the ability to change with market conditions and grow with each opportunity that is presented to it.
Tango currently offers two printing option products; package printing and contract printing. Package printing entails providing a complete finished product, including the tee shirt, the printing, the packaging and the shipping. The current facility can produce about 120,000 packages a week. Contract printing is the alternative option in which the current facility can produce a maximum of 70,000 impressions per day and can run 300 days a year based upon current configurations. Tango has plans to double and triple the capacity over the next three years. Based on the under-utilized capacity of its' physical facility, on the ability to retain and hire employees and on the pipeline of products that are due to be ordered over the coming months, Tango is projecting revenue of approximately $10 million over the next fiscal year. Tango's main operating subsidiary is Tango Pacific Inc.

Calypte Biomedical (OTC BB: CYPT)- The Hottest Stock on the Bulletin Board
I've gotten dozen of emails on Calypte Biomedical recently. Here are my comments on the hottest stock on the Bulletin Board today.
Calypte is the only company in the world with an FDA Approved test kit which uses urine instead of blood for HIV testing. The AIDS epidemic in third world countries represents an enormous market for their product, as it is far safer, more stable, and less expensive in the field.
As many of you know, I used to cover the company, but advised everyone to unload the stock last in March when I finally threw in the towel. As I recounted in the March 29th edition, I felt the company had outstanding technology but shareholders didn't have a chance until management stopped the endless flow of toxic financing, which created an excess supply of stock at a discount to the market no matter how low the market went.
In that edition I stated there were three possible events which could turn the stock around. The announcement of a non-toxic financing or partnership in the biotech industry was one of those events. Last week Calypte announced it had received a $10 million, non-toxic financing from an industry partner, and the stock has gone crazy ever since.
A look at a longer term chart easily leads one to the conclusion the stock was entitled to bounce back off ridiculously low levels. All the company had to do was quitting issuing shares at a discount to the market. As taken in context from when I first featured the stock in June of 2002, the stock has barely blipped up on the radar screen. During that time the company did a 30 for 1 reverse split. In order to regain the losses over the last 15 months, the stock would have to go to $13.
In the last quarterly earnings report, Calypte reported there were now 58 million shares issued and outstanding. With the additional financing, that number has undoubtedly grown into the 80 million share range. The stock is now trading at $1.15, suggesting the value of the company is rapidly approaching $100 million. Coincidentally, $100 million is almost exactly the amount that has been invested in the company.
The technology is awesome, but the market cap is a little rich when one considers the company only achieved $750,000 in sales last quarter. I would suggest this stock is a buy in the $.70 to $.85 range if it pulls back. Investors would be wise to keep an eye on the SEC filings. If you see any S-8 filings wherein the company is issuing free trading shares at a discount to the market to "consultants", you might watch for a return to the old pattern. If no such filings occur, this stock has virtually unlimited upside potential. In the $.75 to $.85 range I will probably buy some for my own account and look for $2 to $3.
CAM Commerce Systems (NASDAQ: CADA) - Quietly Sneaks to a New Multi Year High
Last week CAM Commerce Systems traded to a new multi year high of $6. I first reported on this company back in the February 28th edition, wherein I suggested you could buy a business enjoying $20 million in annual sales for next to nothing since the company had $3.50 per share in cash and no debt. At the time, shares were trading at $4.20. Last week's move to the $6 level yields a 43% gain in invested capital if you acted in the low $4's.
I like this stock for much higher levels. The stock is thinly traded, so it is not recommended for traders- it's a stealth stock for investors looking for value.
From a comparative analysis amongst industry competitors, the stock is trading at less than one times sales, as opposed to an industry average of close to two times sales (1.84x). At 1.84x sales for the trailing twelve months, the stock would be trading in the $10.00 to $11.00 range if it achieved the value the market awards to its competitors today.
The Company's balance sheet is equally compelling, with more than $11 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, CAM has approximately $3.46 per share. On an earnings per share basis, CAM is poised for profitability, with little more than 3 million shares outstanding, every $300 thousand in profit is worth almost $.10 in EPS to the company.
CAM Commerce is in the middle of its seasonally busiest time. The company boast 10,000 retailers as customers, and many are beefing up their point of purchase systems for the Holiday season right now.
Furthermore, the company has evolved its business model and entered the credit card processing market wherein they get a transaction fee. This new market will bring a strong recurring revenue stream to the company during Holiday buying season and beyond.
The first six months got us from the low 4's to $6 and the first 40%. Look for the stock to move into the $8 to $12 range over the next six months. As of 8/21 Geoffrey Knapp, President and CEO, was still buying his company's stock in the open market.
Irvine Sensors (NASDAQ: IRSN) Delivers Improved Version of the Infrared Camera
Last Friday Irvine Sensors issued a press release revealing they had completed the development of their next generation infrared camera. This is one of the products Irvine Sensors is developing on the government's nickel, and has promise for use in homeland security applications and other military uses.
This little infrared camera, which isn't much bigger than the key to your front door, has multiple potential markets. Because it is so small and uses so little power, the military is experimenting with using the camera for night scopes on rifles. It reduces the weight of the weapon considerably.
The camera can also be placed at a remote location. It senses motion, and can transmit infrared images back to a monitoring station. It's ideal for remotely detecting intruders. The camera runs on a power source equivalent to a couple of AA batteries.
Irvine Sensors continues to prove they are the kings of small and powerful. They have developed the world's smallest computer, one of the world's smallest infrared cameras, and one of the world's most powerful stacked memory products.
Look for news of sales momentum for these products to put some life into the stock.
Here is the complete text of the news release for your review:

Irvine Sensors Delivers First Units of Improved Infrared Camera
Friday September 5, 9:17 am ET
Enhanced Version Now Available for Limited Production
COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Irvine Sensors Corporation (Nasdaq: IRSN; Boston Stock Exchange: ISC) announced today that is has successfully developed and delivered the first units of an enhanced version of its miniaturized Cam-Noir® infrared camera. Irvine Sensors' proprietary infrared camera uses stacked memory chips that store pre- calibrated sensor performance characteristics for a wide range of expected operating temperatures. Such an approach avoids the necessity of cooling the infrared sensor, with corresponding reductions in camera volume, weight and power requirements, as well as allowing "instant-on" operation. Development of the enhanced camera was achieved with funding from several government agencies for a number of potential systems applications, ranging from weapons sights to surveillance. With the successful delivery of the initial units, Irvine Sensors is now focused on delivery of multiple units to project sponsors for testing. In addition to testing for various military applications, the enhanced camera will be tested for potential use as a hands- free, helmet-mounted sensor for firefighters.
"With this developmental success, we are now prepared to quote prices and schedules for limited production runs of this improved version of our infrared camera," said Robert G. Richards, Irvine Sensors' Chief Executive Officer. Potential customers are urged to contact Mike Zani, Director of Marketing, at mzani@irvine-sensors.com for further information.
Irvine Sensors Corporation, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, is primarily engaged in research and development related to high density electronics, miniaturized sensors and cameras, optical interconnection technology, high speed routers, image processing and low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for diverse systems applications.

ksquared,
where the hell did that expression come from?
The net never ceases to amaze me:
Where does the phrase "the proof is in the pudding" come from?
Heather
San Bruno, California
Dear Heather:
Perhaps it's a sign of our increasingly fast-paced, short-attention-span society that even our old proverbs are being shortened and clipped down from the original full sayings. Word Detective and other etymology sites pointed out that the phrase originated as "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that the true value or quality of something can only be judged when it's put to use. The meaning is often summed up as "results are what count."
According to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, the phrase dates back to at least 1615 when Miguel de Cervantes published Don Quixote. In this comic novel, the phrase is stated as, "The proof of the pudding is the eating."
Word Detective and the American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms note that the phrase came into use around 1600. However, a bulletin board quotes The Dictionary of Cliches, which dates the phrase to the 14th century. The board also mentions a 1682 version from Bileau's Le Lutrin, which read, "The proof of th' pudding's seen i' the eating." A page of pudding definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary also cites the author Boileau (Bileau) as the first to use the phrase. So it seems likely that the phrase dates back to the 1600s, though the identity of its author is disputed.
These days, some people shorten the phrase to simply "proof of the pudding." Even the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language trims it down. Occasionally, it is even further abbreviated to "proof in pudding," irritating purists who argue that the shortened versions don't mean anything on their own. Let's just hope it doesn't get further reduced any time soon. "Proofpudding" just doesn't cut it.
Colt,
That should be worth a few extra wins
Not sure you needed that "extra" in there this year. ;)

Colt,
We all suspected that it might be a long season - too much youth. I truthfully feel the coaching was very poor also but it's much easier to make that evaluation when you're sitting in the stands - I'm sure it's a little different along the sidelines. <g>
Watched the end of the Miami/Fla. game Sat. night. That's what it's all about! Great game.
BTW, ya like the new addition below? ;)
Mornin' ksquared,
Yes, the weather was perfect - in fact, the only thing I got out of that game was a real bad sunburn! <g> Oh well, the pressure of the first loss is now behind them. The bad news is that loss #2 is a week away. ;(
Congrats on your win over the Cougars - best of luck against the Irish this Sat. too.
NlionGut <g>
Thanks Colt,
It looks good there - I had originally thought of using it as my signature but after the game Sat. I decided against it. LOL!
Certainly. If true, he may have been duped just like everyone else. The problem with Willy is and always has been, too much. IMO.
Appears you're right, rager. I hope people around here didn't get hurt too seriously on that one. Ever since I read that, the same song has been playing in my head:
North side , east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling allright
'Cos with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down down
'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
~artist - Sweet

Bluefly Bursts To The Upside
September 5, 2003
Our August 8th edition (The Billionaire & His Bluefly) featured billionaire George Soros and his involvement with online retailer Bluefly.com (BFLY). We asked why this legendary hedge fund manager would want to own such a large position in a money losing internet company.
Soros averaged 31% in each of his 30 years managing the Quantum Fund which means that if you invested $10,000 into his fund on inception the money would be worth $32.9 million. This is one of the genius minds in finance and outside of Warren Buffet there are not many people who have produced better returns for their investors.
The relationship between these two very unlikely counterparts induced us to dig deeper. What we found was very interesting from a trading standpoint. At the time that our original Bluefly article was released shares were trading at $1.05 per share but quickly zoomed to $1.25 the next trading day. The respectable 19% gain pales in comparison to past spikes the stock has experienced.
Upon ending our due diligence we found that this year there were three press releases announcing further financing by George Soros. The average stock appreciation for Bluefly was 46.07%. Say what you want about the long term prospects of this company but one thing for sure is that Bluefly has been and continues to be a great trading stock.
Today, shares of the company hit an intraday high of $1.43 per share riding the momentum from yesterday's news that Bluefly.com Net Sales Increase by More Than 26% in August. Since we profiled the company less than a month ago the stock is up an interim high of over 36% and there is the distinct possibility of another Soros funding announcement around the block.
It Might Be Soros Time
This year the three Soros financing announcements were made on March 14, May 22, and July 17. We can estimate from this schedule that another press release could happen in the next two to three weeks. There is of course no guarantee that more funding will occur but Soros has invested approximately $53 million and holds 89.9% of Bluefly's outstanding equity.
Brink Of Breaking Out
Bluefly has shown incredible strength the past two trading sessions by reaching an intraday high of $1.43 which you can see from the chart below is the second highest point in the past six months.
Charts Courtesy Of Stockcharts.com
Now would be the best time for a Soros financing announcement to be made in order to keep the momentum going. There is serious resistance at the $1.40 level but no so much as to suppress a rally with significant volume.
Late To The Party
Readers that own shares at our initial profile price of $1.05 per share are sitting pretty but current prices are 36% higher. We are firm believers of not chasing a stock but everyone has their own levels of risk tolerance.
Ideally, shares will drift down in the next week or two so that people can get better entry points. This may be unlikely if everyone anticipates a financing announcement which thanks to the SmallCap MarketWatch is now something many readers know.

MRXT
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Washington, D.C.
Securities Act of 1933
Release No. 8281 / September 5, 2003
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Release No. 48451 / September 5, 2003
Admin. Proceeding File No. 3-11247
In the Matter of Steven Wise and Larry Vindman
The Securities and Exchange Commission today instituted public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings, pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), against:
Steven Wise ("Wise"), age 42, is a resident of Englishtown, New Jersey. He is the Chief Executive Officer and sole director of Marx Toys & Entertainment Corp. ("MRXT"), a Sebring, Ohio, penny stock issuer that purports to be in the business of selling collectible action figures and play sets through the Internet and via telemarketing. Of the approximately 26 million shares of MRXT common stock outstanding, Wise owns individually, or controls through undisclosed nominees, approximately 15 million shares.
Larry Vindman ("Vindman"), age 24, is a resident of Marlboro, New Jersey, and is a stock promoter.
In the Order Instituting Proceedings, the Division of Enforcement alleges that Respondents engaged in the following unlawful conduct:
From in or about August 2003 through the present, Respondents Wise and Vindman have engaged in fraudulent and manipulative practices to inflate artificially the demand for, and the share price of, MRXT common stock. They have engaged in this misconduct so that they, as well as associates of them who hold MRXT common stock, can profit by selling their own shares of MRXT stock at inflated prices.
As part of this conduct, Wise and Vindman offered to pay-and in fact did pay-two registered representatives of a New York registered broker-dealer a kickback, consisting of 100,000 purportedly free trading shares of MRXT common stock, to make a market in MRXT common stock and induce the registered representatives to solicit their brokerage clients to purchase and hold shares of MRXT common stock at inflated prices. Wise and Vindman offered further kickbacks to the two registered representatives dependent upon the registered representatives selling certain specified quantities of MRXT shares to their brokerage customers. Wise and Vindman knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that the kickbacks that they paid to the two registered representatives would not be disclosed to the registered representatives' brokerage customers.
Wise and Vindman also engaged in other conduct to manipulate the demand for, and share price of, MRXT common stock, including paying undisclosed kickbacks to registered representatives of at least one other registered broker-dealer as compensation for those registered representatives selling shares of MRXT common stock to their retail customers. While Vindman and Wise were engaged in this conduct, MRXT filed, on August 29, 2003, a Form S-8, registering 8,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under its 1998 Incentive and Non-qualified Stock Option Plan.
Violations
The Order alleges that Respondents willfully violated, and committed or caused the violation of, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order Instituting Proceedings are true, to provide Respondents an opportunity to dispute these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial sanctions should be imposed against Respondents.

CLSI - I like it for all the same reasons. Bought in on Monday. RE: the R/S - I hate to say this because of the way we all feel about them, but this is a situation where it would probably work based on how it looks on the fundamental side. IMO.
CLSI - no expert here but it just needs news & volume, IMO. Not exactly a profound statement, eh? ;)
