US Military: Saddam Capture Results in Many Iraqi Arrests
VOA News
21 Dec 2003, 21:30 UTC
The U.S. military's top general says Saddam Hussein's capture last week has led to the arrest of several hundred Iraqis, including some leaders of the anti-U.S. insurgency.
In an interview with the Fox News Sunday program, General Richard Myers said Saddam's capture gave U.S. forces information that led to a better understanding of the insurgency's structure.
The general, who heads the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that Saddam is not cooperating with his interrogators.
Meanwhile, the New York Times is reporting that Saddam eluded arrest for months by moving between 20 and 30 safehouses in Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland.
In another development, Iraq's Oil Ministry said insurgents have attacked and damaged facilities both north and south of Baghdad, worsening the country's already severe fuel shortage.
An oil ministry spokesman says rebels hit fuel tanks south of the capital with rockets and set off a bomb that damaged a pipeline in the Mashada region to the north.
Fires and leakage led to the loss of a reported 10 million liters of gasoline. Attacks on oil facilities have frustrated efforts by U.S. and Iraqi officials to rebuild Iraq's oil industry. The shortages have led to long lines at gas stations and forced officials last week to introduce fuel rationing.

Rhetorical questions, obtuse thoughts, and more of those baseless opinions, aye. Oh me..........!!!
I both like and respect Cory, and I also have 35 years in the electrical engineering/construction game. You don't become as successful as Colvico unless you know how to handle your money.
There are many ways to utilize revenue in the electrical contracting business that prevent it from falling into the hands of a parent company, or the Tax Man.
Well enough of this banter for today. Post a picture of yourself wearing your ENGY-man SuperHero costume sometime. I'll see if I can get you coop Ad spot with Reddy Kilowatt sometime.
John
Well..................
"........Happy trails to you, ...until we MO again......
Gee, that sounds like a great commercial for TLWN.
John
The most interesting consideration therein, is that any electrical contractor worth his salt can hide revenue in more pockets than Dan Rather has in his Abercronie-&-Fitch embedded-reporter psuedoMilitary costume - so that it won't get siphoned off into ENGY's general coffers.........
Electricity can be fun.
John
Guesses, presumptions, and strange choices seem to be a forte' of yours, Gord.
Currently, investing in ENGY is kind of like buying a classic or muscle car out of Hemmings. If you don't want to cough up the Greyhound fare, you better find someone in the neighborhood who knows the territory and will go kick the tires for you.
Best of luck, I hope you make a ton...!! MOMO's can be fun.
John
Gord,
Whatever works for you. It was just a suggestion.
John
Again, I would refer you to Ripley's.
DYODD
John
The basic problem seems to be the repetitive errors present in so many of your presumptions. Your efforts to translate that into some lame form of innuendo really won't get you very much mileage here on iHub; too "RB-ish" for most members.
The AADS and SBR technology that ENGY had to offer was superior to performance-wise, easier to operate, and less costly to maintain that other forms of AD currently available. It is most likely that the technology will appear elsewhere, as it is to valuable to leave dormant.
When the US Government failed to fully fund the 2003 Farm Bill, Loven and Funk's grandiose schemes to sell ENGY digesters to every small EQIP-qualified/deserving dairyman and CAFO operation in the USA evaporated into a stock shuffling scheme. Having been promised the EQIP money, the farmers are not going to buy squat without it - unless their local DNR is about to shut them down for environmental violations.
Colvico has been left holding the bag. It would take more than 1/2-Million dollars just to settle the past due issues at ENGY, before they spend one dime on rebuilding the organization or doing any marketing of other than the electrical contracting business that is particular to and the purview of Colvico anyway.
I'm a technology follower/investor. As the technology supposedly offered by ENGY is no longer viably availble through them - and nobody seems to mention that fact in their loquacious soliloquies - I may choose to point it out from time to time.
Perhaps you should consider starting a "..Colvico.." discussion board, since that is basically what you are investing in.
If you can make a few bucks trading on the ebb and flow of the ongoing "...irrationally exhuberant..." MOMO, more power to you. Just call it what it is for change.
John
Having met Cory Colvin a year or so ago, and having a professional engineering acquaintance who speaks with him on occasion, I can safely say that the information I provided regarding Colvico is at least as accurate as anything you can come up with on the subject.
Per Ripley's, "....Believe it, or not..."; makes no difference to me.

First private rocket ship goes supersonic
14:52 18 December 03
NewScientist.com news service
The first piloted and rocket-powered craft to have been developed by a private company made its maiden flight on Wednesday, over the Mojave desert in California.
The craft, called Space Ship One (SS1), also become the first such craft to break the sound barrier, reaching a top speed of 930 mph (1490 km/h). The flight, exactly 100 years after the Wright brothers made their historic flight, marks a big step to winning the $10 million X Prize for private spaceflight.
SS1 has been developed by Scaled Composites, an aerospace company run by famed airplane pioneer Burt Rutan. Wednesday's flight followed a four-month series of unpowered drop and land tests.
Observers believe the flight could set the stage for the coming century in the same way the Wright brothers' began the last. Rick Tumlinson, head of the Space Frontier Foundation, says that, like the Wrights, "Scaled Composites is opening the next level of flight to the general public, and doing it without government money."
Nose up
The fully reusable system uses two vehicles. The first, a turbojet-powered carrier plane called White Knight, carries the second, SS1, up to about 15,000 metres (48,000 feet). SS1 is then released by White Knight and ignites its innovative hybrid rocket motor.
Test pilot Brian Binnie, at the controls of SS1, began the flight at 0815 PST, after being released from the carrier plane by its pilot, Peter Siebold. The two were moving at Mach 0.55 at the time of release.
Binnie then pulled SS1's nose up to 60° and lit the rocket for 15 seconds. This blasted SS1 to 930 mph, or Mach 1.2, and an altitude of 68,000 feet (20,700 m).
Such heights have not been seen by any such rocket craft since the X-15 test flights in the 1960s. Finally, SS1 glided down for 12 minutes and returned to the runway.
There were no problems during the flight, but the craft's landing gear partly collapsed as it touched down and one wingtip hit the runway, causing minor damage.
Double trip
To win the X-Prize, the craft will have to reach an altitude of 100,000 metres (328,000 feet) with three people aboard, and then repeat the process within two weeks. Rutan and his colleagues plan to continue their cautious approach and push a bit higher with each flight over the coming months as they work toward the prize flights.
X-Prize Foundation president Peter Diamandis told New Scientist on Wednesday that of the 27 teams signed up for the X-Prize, Scaled Composites' is the first to have performed a manned test flight.
Flying a person in a privately financed rocket as Scaled Composites has now done was "definitely one of the major hurdles" towards the X-Prize, Diamandis says. But they will now have to deal with increasing speeds and heating of the structure.
"There are at least three other teams on his tail," Diamandis adds. "I have no doubt that we're going to have a winner" within the next year.

ThermaFreeze preceded ENGY as one of Galen Loven's operations. It was eventually spun off, and is now a private company in GA I believe. They have a specialized packaging material that can keep food and drugs cold during long shipments.
Loven and Funk most likely created and controlled the first ENGY website domain. Hence, when Tom Bowers came on board (..and Loven and Funk were on their way out..) a new ENGY domain was obtained that Loven and Funk had no involvement with or control over.
With regard to updating the ENGY website, there does not seem to be any practicality to doing that. It is highly unlikely that ENGY will ever proceed with efforts that involve renewable energy or bio-recycling per the previous business plan.
Additionally, Colvico would extract itself from ENGY in a NY Minute if there was a practical means of doing so; IMHO. It is most likely that Cory Colvin personally owns any web domain associated with Colvico, and it is highly unlikely IMHO that he would share it with ENGY.
There is a long line of suppliers and consultants to and former employees of ENGY that would lien, sue or file/have filed financial complaints with the state/county/courts. Reenergizing ENGY would result in an immediate disbursement of any new capital applied to the effort; hence it's probably toast.

O/T: Hillary praises Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, December 18 (Online): US Senator Hillary Clinton, praising the former Soviet Union the other day for its 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, said that the attack helped bring women's rights to the fundamentalist Muslim country.
"The Soviets tried to provide more opportunities for women," Mrs Clinton told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, in a speech billed by her office as "her first major foreign policy address as a US senator."
In quotes picked up by the New York Sun, Clinton noted that Afghanistan was "the place where September 11 was conceived and implemented." She then criticised the Bush administration for not focusing more on the former Al-Qaeda stronghold, reports Western media.
Contrasting the US occupation of Afghanistan with that of the Evil Empire, Clinton complained, "Too soon the eyes of the administration moved from Kabul to Baghdad."
The former first lady detailed her Thanksgiving Day meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, saying she urged him to implement a high-profile effort to improve maternal health.
Clinton said that such a program would be critical because the people of Afghanistan need to see that America's presence has produced "tangible results" like schools and health clinics - not just electoral and political reforms.
She then suggested that a Soviet-style occupation of Afghanistan, which included the wholesale slaughter of the Afghan people in a bid to install a puppet government, had its merits, since it helped women.
"One of the reasons why we were able to marshal the Mujahideen and the warlords against the Soviets is because the Soviets tried to provide more opportunities for women," she told the CFR.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- U.S. Plastic Lumber Corp. (OTCBB:USPL), announced today that it has completed the sale of its slipsheet business to Illinois Tool Works Inc. ("ITW") for a net purchase price of $8.4 million. Proceeds will be used for debt reduction and working capital.
Mark Alsentzer, CEO of USPL, stated, "We are pleased that we have been able to close the sale of our slipsheet business to ITW. Although we had developed a strong slipsheet business, the company determined that the business was not an integral part of the future growth plans of USPL. As a result of the transaction, the company plans to reduce debt, and further strengthening our balance sheet. In addition, the sale provides the Company with working capital to allow USPL to continue to focus on what it believes offers the greatest growth opportunity for the foreseeable future." Mr. Alsentzer also stated that ITW previously purchased the cornerboard business of USPL in May, 2003, which like slipsheet, was a part of the packaging division of USPL.

You simply aren't aware of how I create, manage, or help manage, iHub discussion boards; it's a developed skill.
When Joe Stocks invited me to assist him with the HLSH board, the iBox had too much information in it in my opinion. To keep the iBox small, simple, and succinct, a "DD Post" was provided and it is now occasionally updated. The old DD Post is copied to the new one to maintain continuity and the new information or links are added as required. Then the DD Post link in the iBox is corrected to the new DD Post number. The process has worked well for several years.
Re: ENGY ENGY is technically inoperative with regard to the purpose for which it was intended. It will never be allowed to construct AADS plug-flow digesters, IMHO, so the cash flow generated by its electrical contracting division is the only thing keeping it afloat. Since I started the ENGY board when it was a viable company, I feel it is incumbent upon me to to keep an eye on what's being posted about it. If I don't care for what I see (..especially when it's being spammed on several other boards..), I'll comment on the situation as I see fit.
I hope that answers all your questions.
As Healthsouth has already risen from $0.10 to $4.50+, you may want to take a look at AMHI which is just getting itself straightened around, or MAMH which I also feel has potential. HLSH will probably continue to rise, as it will eventually get relisted.

One of the many reasons Feahwuss Fwankie may also be referred to as Dan Akroyd's alter-ego, "...Dr. Dump...".
Close, but no cigar Dave.
Those gray 10' long pieces of 4" diameter tubing are called "..empty Rigid PVC Conduit.."; although you can see light through them until they've been bent for stubbing up inside the building.
FO cables are about 1/4" in diameter, are easily mistaken for orange-colored spaghetti, and would most likely be cut up and boiled by Fwankie for "lunch".....
It's a real Hi-tech operation you understand..............

If the presses at QFLUB ever stopped, Fwankie would beat the operator to death with his limp noodle.
Horrible way to go.
Actually you may not have been completely connected, and were just experiencing the first symtoms of Tinnitus that comes with the age you've attained.
Merry Christmas.............

Call him prisoner of woe
Without POW tag, grilling is tougher
By JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
U.S. gave Saddam Hussein a shave and haircut but it won't call him a prisoner of war.
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made it clear yesterday that Saddam Hussein is not classified as a prisoner of war - and that's bad news for the ex-dictator.
Legal experts said that denying Saddam POW status is a calculated move to allow the CIA to take extreme measures to get him to cough up information.
POWs cannot be subjected to rough interrogations, put on trial or executed, according to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, of which the U.S. is a signer.
Saddam's location remained top-secret yesterday, although sources have said he is still in Iraq. When seen Sunday by Iraqi government officials, he was not manacled or wearing a prison uniform.
But that was before the serious interrogation began.
"I have no idea how they're going to interrogate," President Bush told ABC yesterday. "I do know that this country doesn't torture."
But that may be a fine legal point.
"The U.S. government is going to be prepared to do more than a U.S. police force is authorized to do under the Constitution" during questioning, said Catholic University military law expert Michael Noone.
But that will not include physical torture, Noone added, saying "once you've resorted to physical force, you've lost."
Interrogating Saddam has been turned over to the CIA, a change that Rumsfeld called "a three-minute decision, and the first two were for coffee."
Rumsfeld said Saddam is "being accorded the protection of a POW but he's not being legally described as one at this stage."
"He, clearly, is being treated under the ... protections of the Geneva Conventions and is being treated humanely," Rumsfeld said.
The Geneva Conventions outlaw the torture and execution of prisoners. But rulings by the European Court of Human Rights found that sleep or food deprivation, sustained noise, forced standing and sensory deprivation (called "hooding") are not considered torture.
"Those could all potentially be used to interrogate Saddam," said Detlev Vagts, an expert on the laws of war at Harvard University. "That's the borderline."
International accords do allow for trial and execution of "unlawful belligerents," and Iraqi leaders have called for their former ruler to be tried and executed upon conviction.
In Iraq, coalition forces rolled up more former Baathists, including one of Saddam's top generals who was bankrolling insurgents, U.S. officials said.
Army Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander of the 1st Armored Division, told CNN that it was unlikely that Saddam was still directing Iraqi fighters, but some insurgents may have kept Saddam informed about their activities "on the chance that someday he might be able once again to be their patron."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec 17, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- HealthSouth Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: HLSH) has licensed business process management (BPM) software and purchased implementation services from bConnected Software Inc., of Broomfield, Colorado, to enhance operational efficiencies surrounding its accounting data. The BPM software, which will be implemented in 2004, will enable HealthSouth to provide more timely operational data, and will assist in improving the company's overall internal control processes. In addition, bConnected will provide a detailed audit trail of HealthSouth's daily financial transactions, enabling process improvements throughout the organization from the field locations to the corporate offices. The company chose bConnected for its rapid implementation capabilities and ability to integrate with existing systems.
One of HealthSouth's first re-structuring initiatives was to improve the granularity and speed of the HealthSouth financial reporting by creating a consolidated financial audit trail that provides a single view of the company's financial activity in a simple, flexible manner. To meet this objective, HealthSouth installed the bConnected core process engine called the bConnected Process Integration Platform (BPIP) that communicates with the many independent computerized reporting and processing systems throughout the company. The company has completed the initial installation process with the full implementation scheduled for completion in early 2004.
Guy Sansone, Interim CFO, said "We chose bConnected Software because our financial team needed an easily deployed, flexible system that produced a company-wide financial audit trail. The software engine will provide a foundation we can leverage with additional helpful applications from bConnected in the future. This will add considerable efficiency and speed to our financial reporting environment."
"The early feedback on our initial phase of implementation from HealthSouth management has confirmed the strategic value of real time integration of accounting data. We are delighted to be working on such an important re-structuring initiative with such a significant client," commented Frank Bergen, bConnected's CEO.

I certainly hope they do it on TV and in public, like in Saudi Arabia or Taliban-style...:
1) Cut his head off in the middle of Kusay's old sports standium
or
2) Tie him to a post without a hood, tape his eyes open, and shoot the SOB square in the face
In either case, it should be shirtless - so the Baethist wacko's can see him quiver in fear and spasm as he dies.
