Brandmakers Commences Audit With New Accounting Firm
Wednesday November 12, 8:00 am ET SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 12, 2003, Brandmakers, Inc. (OTC BB:BMKS.OB - News) announces that their audit is underway and will soon be up to date on filings of the annual 10 KSB and the current 10 QSB. Brandmakers is currently traded BMKSE due to a late filing of the 10 KSB and has contacted the NASD compliance section for guidance.
Our new auditing firm is Tauber & Balser, P.C. located in Atlanta, Georgia and we look forward to working with them now and in future years. Neil T. Harkins, CPA is in charge of the audit and J. Marc Welch, CPA will work closely with us as well.
Bearden & Smith, our former accounting firm and auditor recommended Tauber & Balser to us, which we appreciate. Bearden & Smith commenced the audit verifying our inventory count and advising us of the documentation needed which we prepared. However, Brandmakers did not immediately proceed with the audit due to financial constraints.
We contacted Bearden & Smith on October 24, 2003 that we were ready to continue the audit but were advised via email on October 27, 2003 that their firm had elected not to register with the S.E.C. and therefore, could not continue with the audit. This has set the audit completion date back two or three weeks but we have had an excellent relationship with Bearden & Smith and that will continue in the future.

Former HealthSouth CEO Fields New Legal Team, Continues to Fight Allegations
By Patti Bond, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nov. 11--Former HealthSouth chief Richard Scrushy has a new crew of lawyers, including ex-President Clinton's impeachment lawyer and a former federal prosecutor in Atlanta who helped bring down the Gold Club.
Scrushy is also working the court of public opinion via a Web site. Scrushy portrays himself as a former church choir member in "great sorrow" and claims his problems have been exaggerated by inaccurate news reports.
A defiant Scrushy is turning up the defiance as he fights allegations that he masterminded a $2.7 billion fraud at Birmingham-based HealthSouth.
New on board is Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell, former Democratic counsel during the impeachment of President Clinton. Lowell also represented former Congressman Gary Condit (D-Calif.) in the disappearance of intern Chandra Levy.
Atlanta's Arthur Leach, a former assistant U.S. attorney during the Gold Club trial, also has joined Scrushy's legal team.
Scrushy, 51, pleaded innocent last week to 85 counts alleging he pocketed more than a quarter-billion dollars from cooked books at HealthSouth. The rags-to-riches Selma, Ala., native is the first chief executive officer prosecuted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which Congress adopted last year after the collapse of Enron and other scandal-ridden companies.
"In this time where the government is trying to criminalize corporate conduct with too broad a brushstroke, it is especially important to set the record straight with respect to Richard Scrushy's amazing accomplishments in building HealthSouth into one of the country's top companies," Lowell said in a statement.
Scrushy's Web site, www.richardmscrushy.com, takes aim mainly at "personal prejudices of various news reporters." Lawyer Thomas Sjoblom said the site addresses the criminal charges and refutes certain news reports focusing on Scrushy's penchant for rock bands, yachts and armored cars.
Scrushy has said repeatedly that HealthSouth's fraud was concocted by his former lieutenants.
Fourteen former executives have pleaded guilty to the HealthSouth fraud, and a fifteenth has agreed to plead guilty. All five former chief financial officers who pleaded guilty have implicated Scrushy.
Scrushy's Web site, as well as a recent appearance on "60 Minutes," follow the lead of domestic guru Martha Stewart, who talked with Barbara Walters recently about her upcoming obstruction-of-justice trial. This summer, Stewart launched a Web site, www.marthatalks.com, to tell her side of the story.
The high-profile approach is tricky, though. Scrushy, for instance, caught flak when members of Congress played a clip of his chatty "60 Minutes" appearance, then criticized him for invoking the Fifth Amendment during recent hearings.
"Web sites can provide a consistent, central location for getting the facts out there, and that can be a good thing," said Scott Sobel, spokesman for crisis management firm Levick Strategic Communications. "The negative side is that they're overt public relations moves that can put off a judge or potential juror, so there's the danger putting off the very people you want to win over."

The Denver Post Al Lewis Column
By Al Lewis, The Denver Post
Nov. 9--WRAPPING HIMSELF IN CIVIL RIGHTS: Selma, Ala., 1965.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Martin Luther King Jr. and 600 marchers cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. All they want to do is vote.
State troopers attack them with tear gas, nightsticks and bullwhips.
It will be remembered as "Bloody Sunday" and spawn the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Flash forward four decades and there's a new civil rights movement in Alabama. But it is not about the disenfranchised descendants of slaves, who feared burning crosses and redneck mobs that might string them up in the night.
This time, it's about a white guy falsely accused of cooking the books of a publicly traded health care company -- or so claims the website of HealthSouth Corp. founder Richard Scrushy. Check it out at richardmscrushy.com: "Born in 1952 in Selma, Ala. -- a town known as the birthplace of the civil rights movement -- Richard Scrushy is now fighting for his own rights and freedoms in the face of false allegations."
The site notes that Scrushy was a Boy Scout, sang in a church choir, joined Little League, played piano and guitar. As a youth, he worked at a hamburger stand, a hotel and a gas station. He went to college, became a respiratory therapist, climbed a corporate ladder, then founded HealthSouth.
At HealthSouth, Scrushy oversaw a $6.5 billion acquisition spree, possibly aided by the phony accounting that prosecutors allege.
Scrushy took over rehabilitation, surgery and diagnostic clinics nationwide, including several in Colorado. And in serving the sick, he paid himself a fortune.
Last Tuesday, prosecutors sacked Scrushy with an 85-count indictment accusing him of money laundering, mail, wire and securities fraud, and making false statements.
What makes him easier to prosecute than most alleged scoundrels is the fact that he certified that his books were accurate. He is the first executive to be tried under the new Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
But Scrushy vows to defend his innocence, even after 14 of his former executives pleaded guilty, including five former chief financial officers who implicated him.
"I am deeply disappointed to have my innocence questioned and contested," Scrushy declares in a website missive. "I trust and pray that you will keep standing by me as I reach my triumphant end of this long journey to truth."
Scrushy's civil rights movement may be about just one person, but it is historical in its scope.
Blacks fought for access to public bathrooms and water fountains, desegregated schools and the right to ride near the front of a bus.
Scrushy fights for his multimillion-dollar homes; nearly 400 acres of land; Picasso, Renoir and Miro paintings; a 2000 Rolls-Royce, a 92-foot yacht, two Cadillac Escalades, a Lamborghini and seven classic cars -- including a 1929 Cadillac, a $290,000 racing boat and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of diamond jewelry -- all part of at least $279 million in alleged loot that prosecutors want Scrushy to forfeit.
So far, Scrushy's more basic rights have been observed, particularly his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and his First Amendment right to free speech. Scrushy declared his innocence in a "60 Minutes" interview with Mike Wallace. Then later, his lawyer invoked the Fifth before a congressional panel.
"In this day of widespread corporate scandals and the lynch-mob mentality of the federal government and the media, the importance of the right to assert the protections guaranteed by the Constitution and the rules of criminal process cannot be overstated," said attorney Thomas V. Sjoblom.
On this point, Scrushy's lawyer is right. For this, Scrushy can thank civil rights movements of the past.
What an unlikely hero to carry the torch.

With a decent digital photo from a cop car or helicopter, or seeing the license number.
That's how they do it in Roanoke, VA. No chases, just a picture or a license #, then they go recover it later. I actually saw a guy run there, and stopped to ask the cop what the heck was up. He explained it all to me, and said they only had one cop car crashed that year - and it hit a deer.
Informants and regular citizens also helped the cops find the runners, knowing they couldn't chase the SOBs anymore.
Works for me.

Yes, Dear.........................
MYIQ is rattling the lid, I passed it up a few months ago - damn.

These Rambo-esque police chases have got to stop...!!

Instead, thousands of dollars worth of private and police vehicle damage occurred, the jerk kid is in 10X deeper than he otherwise might have been, the stolen car was also wrecked, and God only knows how many people were jeopardized by the chase.
More innocent bystanders, children and babies are maimed or killed by these stupid high-speed police chases than one immediate apprehension could ever be worth.
