O.T Some what.
Ashcroft may be sued in 9/11 case, court rules.
Man arrested after Sept. 11 says his constitutional rights were violated.
John Ashcroft, President George W. Bush's attorney general in the years after the Sept. 11 attacks, argued his job was prosecutorial and thus he was entitled to immunity from lawsuits.
updated 5:00 p.m. CT, Fri., Sept . 4, 2009
BOISE, Idaho - A federal appeals court delivered a stinging rebuke Friday to the Bush administration’s post-Sept. 11 detention policies, ruling that former Attorney General John Ashcroft can be held liable for people who were wrongfully detained as material witnesses after 9/11.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the government’s improper use of material witnesses after Sept. 11 was “repugnant to the Constitution and a painful reminder of some of the most ignominious chapters of our national history.”
The court found that a man who was detained as a witness in a federal terrorism case can sue Ashcroft for allegedly violating his constitutional rights. Abdullah al-Kidd, a U.S. citizen and former University of Idaho student, filed the lawsuit against Ashcroft and other officials in 2005, claiming his civil rights were violated when he was detained as a material witness for two weeks in 2003.
Thanks for your efforts, I'll put my well meaning two cents
in as well
Looks as if we need to do much more than issue a brief.
Well like one of the board members said before, it would be
interesting to see if there is a smile on anyones face,or if
there is some glad-handing going on.
dogs- It would seem this gathering of interested parties
is open to the general public and seeings that the judge has told every one they MUST be there, this could be the best entertainment in town. I live in the area and will consider
freeing up the time to go.
I believe you said it's on Sept.9th and would I be right to
say it's at the Daley Plaza ? Do you know the room number,
time and docket number ?
We can only dream.
LOw you have to kidding, there would be almost no one
left on capitol hill,LOL
I think your a day late and a dollar short. Try reviewing
the past 10 day's or so of postings, the answer is there.
Ninga my Ameritrade account is showing 50 for both B/A
$0.10 0.00 (0.00%) Bid 0.09 Ask 0.10B/A
Size 50x50
High 0.10 Low 0.10
Volume 92,500 (Above Avg)
Fidelity is only showing 5K for both B/A
Howlow - Thanks for pointing that out,
It's a fine thing your doing there. I for one would like
to thank you for your effort and sharing of information.
LOL,looks like you needed a new hard drive.
Recognizer Have you heard anything new about EcoSphere
master agreement with BP - America ? There should have
been some progress made here.
gamood your PM of 7/31/09 is looking spot on.
Doggs have you been looking under the rug ? LOL
Cross- I guess I'm like most here, just pizzzed off at
how management handled this thing. The almost daily PR's
by Neha while informative,are meant to keep us entertained.
Do we have any contract orders ? Not agreements and not
memoes of understanding,but orders ?
Our daily issue of fluff has been delivered.
Nice trading day for a change.
Thanks - At least my memory isn't totaly gone, LOL.
Sorry no PM service.
Gamood, perhaps I'm having another senior moment, but I
thought I remember something being said about the time
we lost this case, that DR was bringing on a lawyer who
was well versed in cases like this.
I think this is where you'll find the reason DR has been
so quite. Good luck in your search.
JMHO
I take it you think unkindly of our politicians and
judges ? Well us locals aren't any to happy either.
Ameritrade is good on some things like paying dividens
and slow on other things like this, go figure.
Most often there's a fall back position some where, it's
just a matter of finding it and deciding what works best for you.
I have Ameritrade as well, but when you can't get the
info you need from them, then I-Hub is the place to go
and it's free unless you must have level 2 then you have
to pay the fee.
My Ameritrade showes my old share total w/ no symbol, and
no new share info.
Have you thought about looking at I-Hub Streamer ?
it's showing 3,793 traded with the last price listed
$19.oo
Your having way to much fun, but this does make for
good reading.
Your right on the money there. I wonder if there are
more deals pending out there ?
Check the date on this.

O.T - U.S. ban on naked short-selling made permanent
Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Schapiro
Emergency rule to curb abusive short-selling of stocks was introduced during last year's market turmoil

U.S. federal regulators on Monday made permanent an emergency rule aimed at reducing abusive short-selling, put in at the height of last fall's market turmoil.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it took the action on the rule targeting so-called naked short-selling, which was due to expire Friday.
Short-sellers bet against a stock. They generally borrow a company's shares, sell them, and then buy them when the stock falls and return them to the lender — pocketing the difference in price.
Naked short-selling occurs when sellers don't even borrow the shares before selling them, and then look to cover positions some time after the sale.
The SEC rule includes a requirement that brokers must promptly buy or borrow securities to deliver on a short sale.
At the same time, the SEC has been considering several new approaches to reining in rushes of regular short-selling that also can cause dramatic plunges in stock prices.
Investors and lawmakers have been clamouring for the SEC to put new brakes on trading moves they say worsened the market's downturn starting last fall. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro has said she is making the issue a priority.
The five SEC commissioners voted in April to put forward for public comment five alternative short-selling plans. One option is restoring a Depression-era rule that prohibits short sellers from making their trades until a stock ticks at least one penny above its previous trading price. The goal of the so-called up-tick rule is to prevent selling sprees that feed upon themselves — actions that battered the stocks of banks and other companies over the last year.
Another approach would ban short-selling for the rest of the trading session in a stock that declines by 10 per cent or more.
In addition to making the naked short-selling rule permanent, the SEC and its staff are working with major stock exchanges to make data on short-sale transactions and volumes publicly available through the exchanges' Web sites, the SEC announcement said. It will result in “a substantial increase” over the amount of information currently required, the agency said.
“Today's actions demonstrate the [SEC's] determination to address short-selling abuses while at the same time increasing public disclosure of short-selling activities that affect our markets,” Ms. Schapiro said in a statement.

Cool artwork,LOL.
I would think we have unlimited opportunity, I seen in the
paper that Exxox says they may have hit a major NG field
in Canada. There should be no reason why we can't get
involved in Canada as well.
Sorry for not replying, I was out of area. We need more
investors to get involved with this stock. I'm surprised
it didn't move up a lot more than it did.
