Hi,
If you would remember to post a reply to an old post of mine, I would have noticed yours a little sooner (..replies show up in one's iHub MailBox..).
Yeah, the RB board is a joke. FLASuny aka: FLASuny1 aka: FlasSunburnedBaldSpot aka: Captain Flash Swizzlestick aka: The_Reformer aka: outlawedin59 aka: iowaroadkill aka: I can't remember them all anymore is still doing his moronic version of a "..mmmary-sputter.." act - accusing everyone who posts of either being Tom Raabe, Jim Stock, or me. I'm surpirsed more people don't just TOS his arse more often - which will eventualy get him crap-canned.
Tom is apparently trying to create a finanfcial incubator for new businesses in the oil & gas game from what I read. Hope it works out for both ARET and you.

Iraqi most-wanted's nephews captured
2004-01-15 / Associated Press
U.S. forces moved a step closer to the most wanted man in Saddam Hussein's former regime yesterday, detaining his four nephews in a pre-dawn raid in the central city of Samarra.
The arrest comes as U.S. officials released figures showing that Saddam's capture had taken some of the sting out of the Iraq insurgency.
But hours later, a car bomb exploded in front of a police station in the central Iraqi city of Baqouba. Police said three people, including the bomber, were killed. The U.S. military put the death toll at five. All the victims were Iraqis.
Two of the nephews arrested yesterday are suspected of helping to hide their uncle, former Iraqi Vice President Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri. Al-Douri has a US$10 million bounty on his head and is suspected to have been orchestrating insurgent attacks on U.S.-led coalition forces.
"One of these days his head will rise up above the water, and we will be able to capture him as well," Lieutenant Colonel David J. Poirier of Chicago told an Associated Press reporter who observed the raid.
The U.S. military thinks two of the detained men may have been helping find safehouses for Ibrahim, but it would give no further details on the suspects.
The arrests came as figures released by U.S. military officials indicated that guerrilla attacks on U.S. soldiers in Iraq have dropped sharply since Saddam's capture on December 13. The number of troops killed and wounded has plummeted as well.
But one top U.S. military official said guerrilla attacks were already on the decline before Saddam was found hiding in a coffin-sized bunker near his hometown of Tikrit.
"We were starting to see the decrease in the attacks prior to the capture of Saddam," said Brigadier General Mark Hertling, a deputy commander of the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division. He also said casualties have not declined in the capital, Baghdad.
Fifty-two coalition troops were killed and 159 wounded in the four weeks before Saddam's capture, November 13 to December 12. In the following four weeks, to January 13, the figures dropped to 37 soldiers killed and 128 wounded, U.S. military officials in Baghdad said Tuesday. That amounts to 29 percent fewer deaths and 20 percent fewer combat injuries.
The figures don't include accidental deaths and injuries.
At the Pentagon, Marine General Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it was too early to tell whether the drop in attacks and casualties was "something that is going to remain or not."
While opinions differ on Saddam's role in the insurgency and whether his capture caused any rebels to give up, most U.S. officials who have spoken publicly agree on one benefit: More Iraqis are willing to provide intelligence on the insurgency. Military officials have said many Iraqis are no longer worried about the possibility of Saddam returning.

Recently, it occurred to me that Osama Lama DingDong might give suicide bombing a try himself.
He could wrap himself in one of those dynamite-belts, fill his executive Toyota HiLux pickup with explosives, and plan to get his load to the capital building by about 0900 sharp. Being such a good planner, he'd probably set his clock about 15 minutes early so he would't be late for his BIG DATE......
I love it when a plan comes together.

Iran's Khamenei Orders Reconsideration of Decision to Ban Election Candidates
Greg LaMotte - Cairo
14 Jan 2004, 21:32 UTC
Iran's supreme leader has ordered the hard-line conservative Guardian Council to reconsider its decision to ban thousands of candidates from next month's parliamentary elections.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is attempting to put an end to a political crisis that erupted in Iran after thousands of mostly reformist parliamentary candidates were barred from running in next month's elections.
The supreme leader ordered the conservative constitutional watchdog Guardian Council to reconsider its decision to bar almost half of the 8,000 candidates seeking election in next month's vote.
Among the barred candidates are more than 80 current members of the parliament's 290 lawmakers.
According to Iran's state television, the supreme leader said those candidates should not have been barred from running unless there was adequate proof they are not qualified.
The Guardian Council is made up of 12 appointed hard-liners who have the authority to veto legislation approved by parliament and to screen all candidates for public office.
A political science professor at Cairo University and expert on Iran, Pakinam el-Shakarwy, says that while the Iranian government has experienced political turmoil in the past, this time it is serious. Ms. El-Shakarwy says she thinks the Guardian Council disqualified the candidates in an effort to test political waters.
"I think it is kind of testing, testing how will be the response of the moderates," she said. "Are they going to go too far or, as in all the previous crisis, will it be contained in a way that keeps the status quo as it is with the conservatives controlling some key institutions without any interference from the moderates? I think it is not a good time regarding the regional and international circumstances. I think it was not the right decision."
Iran President Mohammad Khatami tried and failed to convince dozens of members of parliament to end their four-day sit-in protest at parliament. Mr. Khatami said he thought negotiations could lead to a reversal of the Guardian Council's decision.
But Mr. Khatami's younger brother, Mohammad Reza Khatami, said the protest would continue because there was no guarantee that the candidates would be reinstated. The younger brother is the deputy speaker of parliament and one of the candidates who was disqualified.

O'Neill backtracks on Bush broadside Regrets using `vivid language'
Tries to distance himself from book
TIM HARPER - WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON—Under concerted attack from the White House, former treasury secretary Paul O'Neill retreated yesterday.
O'Neill said his contention that President George W. Bush came to office fixated on ousting Saddam Hussein was really just a government policy of regime change in Iraq that he inherited from the preceding Bill Clinton administration.
O'Neill said he would probably even vote for Bush in November's presidential election.
The author of the book detailing O'Neill's 23 months in the Bush cabinet, Ron Suskind, also came under fire from his former employer, the Wall Street Journal, where he won a Pulitzer.
In an editorial yesterday, the paper called its former reporter a "well-known Bush antagonist."
The controversy created by O'Neill and Suskind has played into the hands of Democrats vying for their party's presidential nomination and two of the leading candidates, former Vermont governor Howard Dean and retired NATO Gen. Wesley Clark, took the revelations and ran.
Still, as Suskind's The Price of Loyalty was released yesterday, it was clear O'Neill had already done some damage to his former boss.
U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted twice calling O'Neill before the explosive insider account was published — but says he never tried to dissuade him from co-operating with the book's author.
Rumsfeld said at a news conference yesterday that his former colleague appeared to "completely misunderstand" what was being said inside the cabinet room about Bush's determination to oust Saddam.
The book is replete with stories of a president who appeared zoned out at meetings and said he operated on "instinct" and "gut," not briefing books.
In the book, O'Neill laments the fact that as a 65-year-old man he had to be given a nickname, a Bush habit.
The president immediately began calling him "Pablo." Later he started calling his treasury secretary "Big O."
He said Bush called Secretary of State Colin Powell "Balloonfoot."
Yesterday, O'Neill told NBC's Today show he had no classified documents from his time in cabinet and passed unopened to Suskind many documents he had been given.
He said he regretted using some "vivid language" and seemed to distance himself from the book, reminding the audience "this is Ron Suskind's book, this is not my book."
Rumsfeld said if O'Neill thought Bush came into office with a predisposition to invade Iraq, that is a "total misunderstanding" of the situation.
But he said when the administration came into power in January, 2001, the only place in the world where an enemy fired at Americans "with impunity" was in Iraq, where pilots were enforcing "no-fly zones."
"It was something the president had to address, did address," Rumsfeld said.
Still, Democrats picked up the ball.
Clark compared the length of time it took Bush to investigate a White House leak that identified a CIA agent last summer and the alacrity with which the treasury department decided it had to investigate whether O'Neill had secret documents.
"They're not concerned about national security, but they're real concerned about political security," Clark said.
Dean unleashed new TV ads in Iowa — where the first Democratic caucuses measuring voters' candidate preferences take place next Monday — picking up on the O'Neill allegations.
He reminded voters that others seeking the nomination, Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and North Carolina Senator John Edwards, backed the war while Dean did not.
And in an interview to be published in Rolling Stone magazine, Dean — without specifically mentioning the war in Iraq — said Bush had some type of obsessive need to please his father, who allowed Saddam to remain in power after the 1991 Gulf war and lost his bid for re-election.
"This president is not interested in being a good president," the former Vermont governor said. "He's interested in some complicated psychological situation that he has with his father.
"He is obsessed with being re-elected, and his obsession with re-election is hurting the country."

FOREX-Dollar rebounds, buoyed by narrower U.S. trade gap
Reuters, 01.14.04, 9:55 AM ET
By Gertrude Chavez
NEW YORK, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The dollar climbed against major currencies on Wednesday following a surprisingly narrower than expected U.S. trade deficit.
The trade gap, often cited as a key reason for the dollar's persistent weakness, narrowed to a deficit of $38.0 billion in November, from a $41.58 billion gap in October. Market expectations were for a trade shortfall of $42 billion.
"We did see a narrowing of the trade deficit coming on the heels of calming comments of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan yesterday concerning the current account deficit," said Alex Beuzelin, foreign exchange market analyst at Ruesch International in Washington DC.
Greenspan, speaking at a Bundesbank conference in Berlin on Tuesday, said there is, for the moment, little stress in the funding of the gaping U.S. current account deficit -- a broad measure of the nation's global trade.
"Today's data may alleviate those concerns in the near term, which should be a positive for the dollar," he added.
In early New York trade, the euro fell 0.8 percent to $1.2654 <EUR=>, more than two cents firmer than the dollar's record low near $1.29 per euro hit on Monday. The euro also slipped 1 percent against the yen to 134.22 yen <EURJPY=>.
Against the yen, the dollar was nearly flat at 106.12 yen <JPY=>, just above a 3-year low around 106 yen set a week ago.
The dollar's relative stability against the Japanese currency is largely owing to market wariness the Bank of Japan could step in to curb the yen's gains at any moment, after the central bank was detected intervening last week.
The greenback also rose 1 percent against the Swiss franc to 1.2334 francs <CHF=>, after falling to a 7-year low on Monday. The pound, meanwhile, was down 0.6 percent at $1.8350 <GBP=>. The U.S. currency also surged over 1 percent against the Canadian dollar to C$1.2870 <CAD=>.
U.S. producer prices showed fairly benign inflation, rising 0.3 percent in December, suggesting the Fed will be able to keep monetary policy accommodative for some time. Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, the index fell 0.1 percent.
"What this means is that the dollar will continue to be saddled with negative interest rate differential," said Beuzelin.
U.S. NONCHALANCE
Markets also weighed European concerns about the greenback's drop against apparent U.S. nonchalance.
European Central Bank council member Christian Noyer was among the latest European policymakers to comment, saying authorities remained vigilant on the euro's level but there was no need to over-dramatize, although intervention was always "something that can be used."
Greenspan on Tuesday said the dollar's decline had yet to cause inflation or deter foreign capital inflow needed to fund the U.S. current account deficit.
"Without the warning comments from Europe we would have tested $1.30 this week," said Mark Henry, currency strategist at GNI.
"With the G7 meeting starting to loom on the calendar as well, people are looking at the timing of that and suggesting we may be heading towards a situation where there may be some coordinated move to try to stabilize things a bit."

Iranian leaders threaten to quit as crisis worsens
Top officials, including vice-presidents and Cabinet ministers, will resign if the hardliners do not overturn their ban
TEHERAN - The political stand-off in Iran worsened yesterday with 12 top officials including vice-presidents and Cabinet members threatening to resign in protest at the hardline Guardians' Council's move to ban hundreds of reformists from running for parliament.
Reformist MPs said the list of those who had already drafted resignation letters included four of Iran's six vice-presidents and six Cabinet ministers.
'They have their resignation letters ready and will submit them' if the Guardians' Council does not back down, said one of the MPs.
Mr Mohammad Sattarifar, Iran's vice-president for management and planning, said earlier that the Cabinet was prepared to dissolve if it could not guarantee a fair election process, state-run media reported.
'If the government becomes impotent in securing the legitimate freedoms of the nation, it loses its legitimacy, and then, whether it dissolves itself or not, it is automatically dissolved,' Irna quoted him as saying.
The resignation threats raised the stakes of a political struggle which erupted on Sunday, when the hardline Guardians' Council announced that around half of the 8,200 aspiring candidates for the Feb 20 parliamentary vote had been disqualified.
It may also increase pressure on reformist President Mohammad Khatami to step down in solidarity with his colleagues, analysts said.
Until now, he has tended to avoid confrontation with hardliners who have blocked his reform attempts.
A newspaper reported Mr Khatami had threatened to quit, but that news was denied by sources and liberal MPs.
The liberal Etemad newspaper said Mr Khatami had sent a message to reformist MPs saying: 'I will wait for one week so that things go back to normal. Otherwise, if elections cannot be held, I will step down from my position.'
The Guardians' Council has also barred about 80 members of the current 290-member parliament from running for re-election.
Its action has underlined the relative impotence of the reformist government and its allies in the Islamic Republic.
Unelected hardliners also control the judiciary, armed forces and state media.
All of Iran's 27 provincial governors have also threatened to quit if the Guardians' Council does not back down.

Jus' so's ya know..................
WTAI came back to life today. There should be lot;s of hills and valleys with it - since it got beat up pretty bad when the orginal guys got crosswise with the SEC.
Now near 0.05, it could scooter back under 0.02 on hard trading. It held around 0.08 for quite a while, even during the SEC hassles. The company has a real good concept. They build small utility vehicles with ABS bodies that won't dent, rust, etc. Good for TAXI service in the Philippines, etc. They also sell mini-factories and territories to people who want to become Auto Mfr's. in 3rd world countries.

ARMR - Aero Marine Engine Announces Richard 'Richie' Powers as New President and Chairman
TORRANCE, Calif., Jan 13, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aero Marine Engine, Inc., (OTCBB: ARMR) a developmental stage company which has acquired the rights to the Dyna-Cam engine, a proprietary internal combustion engine, is pleased to announce today that Richard "Richie" Powers has been elected by the Board of Directors to the position of President and Chairman. This announcement comes in concert with the resignation of former Chief Executive Officer, Garth Bailey.
Bailey, who joined Aero Marine since inception as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, has made significant contributions to Aero Marine over the past several months. Under his leadership, Aero Marine has progressed in implementing its internal business plan.
Bailey is leaving Aero Marine to dedicate his attention towards his law practice. "I am leaving with high expectations for Aero Marine. It was always my intention to lead Aero Marine until the Company was in a position to retain the services of a professional manager with impeccable credentials. Richie is that person. We are also in the process of bringing in another executive with the same degree of expertise as Richie. It has been a challenging and rewarding role for me, and I feel confident in leaving the future success of Aero Marine Engine in the hands of Mr. Powers," said Bailey.
Richard "Richie" Powers is best known for his accomplishments as a seven time World Champion offshore power board racer. Mr. Power's has assembled a vast repertoire of knowledge concerning the successful management of marine related enterprises. Mr. Power's commercial achievements include: Division Direct of Magnum Marine; Vice President/General Manager of Monza Power Boats; Racing Director for Team Gentry, Apache and Don Johnson Racing; General Manager of Intrepid Boats; Founder of Champion Marine; and key positions with Keikhaer Marine, Martini and Rossi and Mercury.
Mr. Powers said, "Aero Marine Engine was founded by men of extraordinary vision and entrepreneurship. I am extremely excited to be joining such an exciting venture and hope to draw upon my 35 years of marine engine and boat manufacturing experience to ensure the success of Aero Marine Engine."
It is anticipated that the new management team will have the ability through their contacts in the marine industry to make the introduction of the Dyna-Cam engine and Perma Tune's (OTCBB: TMXT) Plasmatronic Ignition readily acceptable to the industry.

WTAI - Positive Progress on Corporate Restructure, New Board of Directors and President Announced for World Transport Authority, Inc.
EL CAJON, Calif., Jan. 13, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- World Transport Authority, Inc. (OTCBB:WTAI) (Frankfurt:920943) announced today progress on corporate restructure, changes on the board of directors and a new interim President.
The company is pleased to report that the company is progressing toward completing the reorganization planned this year to reestablish WTAI as the primary provider of vehicle systems for developing markets.
A change in board membership was established from late June through August, resulting in the addition of William C. Kennedy as CEO and Chairman of the Board, Todd C. Fowler as Secretary, George I. Bates as Treasurer, and Roger S. Brown, Vice-President in charge of Investor Relations and as a new director to the board. Board members have worked diligently on a plan to improve company operation and recover from prior mismanagement. Mr. Kennedy, the new CEO and Chairman, has taken the lead to raise the board to a professional level through new board members and actively involving the board on restoring the company to operations.
The company hired the certified public accounting firm Stonefield Josephson, Inc. to conduct a complete audit of the company books to meet SEC and OTC exchange requirements.
Early in July, because the company had gone through some legal problems resulting from the arrest of its Founder in March of 2003 for alleged fraud, and because of judgments resulting from prior mismanagement of assets by previous management, Mr. Kennedy with the full approval of the Board, hired Gary Curtis Cannon as Corporate Counsel, to help guide the company on a correct tract, and to make sure that the company was in compliance with SEC regulations.
During early 2003, WTAI retained Mr. Anthony Ussery as a management consultant to help restructure the company and raise capital. Upon the advise of counsel and with the agreement of the Board of Directors, and because of the direct actions of Mr. Ussery, the Board terminated Mr. Ussery for non-performance and lack of confidence. The action taken was deemed to be in the best interest of WTAI and WTAI did not incur any losses as a result of this decision.
The Board of Directors removed Mr. Lyle Wardrop as President of all WTAI companies on December 19th, 2003. His removal was based, in part, because of substantial infractions and violations of Board resolutions. On Monday, December 29th, Mr. Wardrop resigned from the Board of WTAI.
Mr. John F. Tidy was appointed and accepted the position as interim President of World Transport Authority, Inc. as the replacement for Mr. Wardrop on December 19, 2003. Mr. John Tidy is an experienced operations executive and automotive engineer, and is the primary individual responsible for the current vehicle design and manufacture.
Nicholas M. Kennedy was named as interim director on December 29th to meet the Canadian legal requirement, until a full time director is chosen. Mr. Nicholas Kennedy is a Canadian citizen and Mr. William Kennedy's nephew. Mr. Nicholas Kennedy is co-founder of River of Life Humanitarian Organization (ROL) in Zagreb, Croatia, was consultant for receiving, distributing Humanitarian Aid Shipments for refugees and displaced people for ROL in Zagreb in 1992 to 1996, was Logistics' Officer for ROL in Sarajevo, Bosnia/Herzegovina 1994-1996, and is currently director of GIM in Osaka, Japan. He is fluent in English, Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian languages; semi-fluent in German and Japanese, and understands other Slavic languages, including some Russian. He will be an asset in communication with the Zastava Plant, which supplies the engine platform for WTAI.
Since becoming CEO, Mr. Bill Kennedy, with the approval of the Board of Directors, has changed management, bringing in an experienced corporate manager to advise him on the daily operation of moving the company to profitable operations and status. Management has initiated negotiations with critical suppliers to stabilize a source of vehicle parts kits and factory components.
Other actions include re-establishing communications with existing master license holders, initiating new intellectual property protections, and initiating proper financial and corporate controls. Management is now actively revising the marketing plan, developing new quality standards for factory construction, establishing international vehicle registration compliance (which was never done under previous management) and reopening production facilities for factories and vehicle parts kits.

Brick,
It doesn't look like you "passed", and your signature graphic didn't make the grade either - ha ha ha. If you need some help, let me know.
Wow. Looks like this low-performance PIG is headed down on SHORTS again...!!!
Also, I've only seen one questionable PR, and no industry News or public website statements from them, on how they're handling the MAD COW meat problem. Depending on others, rather than checking it out yourself sounds pretty pre-9/11 to me. That's pretty suspicious, if not down right irresponsible, IMHO.
I sure wouldn't want to be eating at greasy cheeseburger dumps, similar to these joints, anytime soon. It might take them months to pawn their current suspect beef inventory off on the unsuspecting public.
Risky business, restaurants.

Colombian drug-cartel leader held in Panama
PANAMA CITY, Panama — Panamanian police have captured a top Colombian drug kingpin believed responsible for "huge volumes" of narcotics entering the United States.
Arcangel de Jesus Henao Montoya was captured early Saturday in Torti, a city in southern Panama, police said yesterday. He is believed to be a top leader of the Norte de Valle drug cartel, which operates out of the city of Cali in southwestern Colombia.
U.S. officials said they will seek his extradition, but it was not known if Henao Montoya would first be sent to Colombia, which has a history of negotiating deals with drug kingpins not to extradite them to the U.S. The traffickers, including the late Pablo Escobar, were allowed to live in a luxurious Colombian prisons.
Weapons seized at home of war-crimes fugitive
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina — NATO-led peacekeepers confiscated weapons yesterday while searching the house of war-crimes fugitive Radovan Karadzic. There was no sign of Karadzic, but two men suspected of links to the former Bosnian Serb leader were detained.
The action was part of a search of the Bosnian Serb stronghold of Pale, about 10 miles east of Sarajevo, as peacekeepers hunted for Karadzic and former Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladic.
Illegal immigrants froze to death on drifting boat
TIRANA, Albania — Most of the 21 illegal immigrants — 18 men and three women — who died overnight Friday trying to reach Italy froze to death in their rubber dinghy in the stormy Adriatic Sea, officials said yesterday. Eleven people survived, and a search was called off yesterday for seven other people thought to have been aboard.
The 40-foot inflatable powerboat ran adrift in high seas after its engine failed five miles off the Albanian coast. Their guide had called an Albanian television channel for help, bringing home to viewers the despairing cries from the ill-fated boat.
Survivors said several of the victims, who had paid $1,650 each to smugglers, died and slipped into the water just minutes before an Italian rescue boat arrived.
Bird flu outbreak in Japan kills thousands of chickens
TOKYO — Japan has confirmed an outbreak of highly contagious bird flu that has swept through Asia. About 6,000 chickens found dead on a farm in the western prefecture of Yamaguchi died of avian influenza, prefectural officials said today. Officials said this is the first case of the disease — which in rare cases can be deadly to humans — in Japan since the 1920s.
3 Chinese workers blamed for deadly gas-well leak
SHANGHAI, China — Police investigating a gas-well leak that killed 243 people in western China have arrested three oil-company workers on suspicion of dismantling safety features and mishandling drilling equipment, police and state media said today.
Two of those arrested, well technicians Wang Jiandong and Song Tao, are accused of removing the back-pressure regulator inside the drill, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Drill technician Xiang Yiming allegedly injected less than the required amount of drilling fluid into drilling tools, leading to the buildup of gas that eventually spewed from the well, Xinhua said.
The Dec. 23 accident spewed a deadly cloud of poisonous hydrogen sulfide over nearby villages in a poor, mountainous area. Villagers died in their sleep or were struck down while trying to flee.
More than 9,000 people were treated for injuries and 60,000 forced to evacuate the area. Hospitals last week reported 396 people still being treated for injuries, several of them in critical condition, according to Xinhua.
The well's owner, PetroChina, said last week it would offer compensation totaling $3.6 million to the injured and the survivors of those killed.
