Will the truth set us free?
Dunno, but this is a darn good start. The honesty is welcome, IMO.

The company announced that it would proceed with a share reduction, of up to 400 million shares. By May, this share reduction had not occurred, and investors began expressing loss of confidence. Other factors that contributed to investor scepticism were the continued lack of financial audits, the lack of follow-through on proposed mergers, and fears of market manipulations.
News: LandStar, Inc. (LDSR) New Project Negotiation in Dongguan Port
WUHAN, CHINA, Aug 17, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- LandStar, Inc.'s (PINK SHEETS:LDSR) (http://www.landstarcorp.com) subsidiary Hubei Chuguan Industrial Co., Ltd. announces that the company submitted a new proposal in Dongguan for an oil and gas recovery installation.
Hubei Chuguan Industrial Co. Ltd. submitted a proposal for installation of its oil and gas recovery technology for the Dongguan Sanjiang shipping port oil depot, and both companies have been communicating closely about the installation details. The shipping port oil depot recognizes the upside of the Hubei Chuguan Technology, and the companies had been communicating and identifying the specific technical processes and issues and commenced the negotiation regarding the price.
The Marketing Director of Hubei Chuguan, Long Zegui, said, "Our outstanding sales force has been in close contact with the representatives of the Dongguan Sanjiang shipping port oil depot. We want to satisfy our customers, exceed their expectation and answer all the questions to create a clear image of construction prerequisites and processes. We take time to take care of our customers as a satisfied customers bring new opportunities."
So is pinksheets wrong?
Based on what has been discussed, I'd rather hear the answer from you.
Possible to let us build our own iHub browsers based on a list of components avail? Give us simple codes or let us drag & drop the components into our own skins. These could be templates or customized UI's. Make 'em all the property of iHub; fine with me. Then we could have customized layouts and pull-down menus, fonts that are properly sized and non-horsey, proportioned elements in the interface. Just a thought.
You missed the point. LandStar/Chuguan, the company, is doing great. The sloppiness, the disparity in the financials is not going to be tolerated. This company has more potential than 99.9% of Pinks, IMO. Watch.
Huh? Let's get the story straight. A/S was increased to 8,888,000,000 per Amendment Jan 22, 2010 and hasn't budged since.

And then to remove it, you go to Favorites and click the little X. Thanks. Hmmm, moving associated functions to different places seems strange, but gotcha. Wondering if there's an ongoing master list of changes to iHub.
Let's find Favs [sic].
Any exorcists near you? iHub may be possessed.
BTW, favs isn't a word. Faves is a word.
Since you didn't seem too thrilled about fixing the CSS prob with IE7, I decided to capitulate and do it your way. Installed latest ver of Firefox.
So far, hunky dory. Log Out is where it's supposed to be. Favs [sic] has a home.
Still mourning the loss of Avant, I found what may be the best solution: Orca, a browser based on Firefox coding with the features of Avant.
However, whoops, no Faves. Wondering if Linda Blair is programming for iHub.
Whoops again. NO Faves in Firefox. Things are getting spooky.
Yes, logged-in with both browsers.
Yes, closed each browser and opened each one individually. Same prob.
No IE7 stuff running.
If site maintenance is the problem, good idea to post a msg?

Sorry to hear. I almost pulled the trigger, but something's telling me no. Good to see no panic selling today.
You made a statement that Q's are audited. I'm simply saying that's not true. Statements are reviewed, not audited. So the SEC's word enhance is correct. What's the saying? Trust with verification.

Sorry to disagree, but there's a big difference between a review and an audit (as Enron proved).
If you look at Microsoft's last quarterly statement, you'll see that it too is unaudited.
(In millions, except per share amounts) (Unaudited)
1st and 2nd quarter financials unaudited?
The majority of NASDAQ and NYSE quarterly financials are also unaudited. Quarterly audits would be prohibitively expensive.
This is a first. Strange, but true. No vol today. If there's no buy/sell interest, usually the MM's will trade a token number of shares between them. Not worried, just wondering.
Oh, the eternal browser-war discussions. I've tried 'em all and Avant is the best, IMO; ... faster, more intuitive than Firefox, Chrome, Opera and a bunch of others. Anyway it's never had a problem rendering pages. It's sitting on top of IE7, which may be the problem. There have been CSS issues between IE7 and IE8, which is why I went back to IE7 from 8. If iHub adheres to IE8 standards, that's probably the reason for the mis-rendering. I should look at IE8 again if MS has resolved the CSS issues.
Never let it be said that iHub doesn't have a sense of humor. What's with the menu, top right, - Log In/Out, More Tools - which is now 150px wider than the rest of the page (1024x768 display). Ya gotta scroll to the right to find it and it looks like a hangnail. Just wondering.
NO investigation.

Subject: Tripp Levy PLLC Investigates Ligatt Security?

Per PR below, can you confirm that Tripp Levy is investigating Ligatt Security? If this is not an erroneous PR, I look forward to seeing the news on your site. However, I have a feeling that a stock msg-board poster has gotten a little creative with the headline and your previous PR's.
Thank you.
Tripp Levy PLLC Investigates Management Buyout of Ligatt Security
NEW YORK, August 6, 2010 (BusinessWire) -- Tripp Levy PLLC announces an investigation into the proposed acquisition of Ligatt Security International Inc. (Pink Sheets: LGTTD). On July 21, 2010, Gregory Evans, CEO of LIGATT, announced his decision to buy back the shares of LIGATT that he and a group of investors do not already own for two cents a share, or 20% above the bid price at the time of the company's shareholders approval, whichever is greater the day of the shareholders’ meeting.
The investigation concerns, among other things, whether the consideration to be paid to Ligatt shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of Ligatt. The investigation further concerns whether Gregory Evans, as the CEO, as well as the board of directors of Ligatt may have breached their fiduciary duties by not acting in Ligatt shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process of Ligatt.
If you own Ligatt common stock and you wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact

Whoa, China drops the hammer on energy efficiency.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/10/business/energy-environment/10yuan.html?_r=1&hp
In Crackdown on Energy Use, China to Shut 2,000 Factories
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology quietly published a list late Sunday of 2,087 steel mills, cement works and other energy-intensive factories required to close by Sept. 30.
Energy analysts described it as significant step toward the country’s energy efficiency goals, but not enough by itself to achieve them.
The current Chinese five-year plan calls for using 20 percent less energy this year for each unit of economic output than in 2005. But surging production by heavy industry since last winter has put in question China’s ability to meet the target.
As China has become increasingly dependent on imported oil and coal, its national security establishment has become more visibly involved in energy policy and energy security, including efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Energy conservation is us, LandStar/Hubei Chuguan. China's gov, and oil & gas industry realizes it. One day, the stock market will too. IMO.

Good way to describe it.
MM toy
Are there any Pinks that aren't MM toys? Wish I could prove it but seems as if the MM's have changed their tactics since Reg SHO. More shorting. Less volatility. Fewer big runs. Any thoughts, guesses appreciated.
TY; glad it expands the subject somewhat but doesn't cover all the provinces. BTW, last pic was something I nailed together from Innotrek web sources to illustrate the photo/video quality. It's a lot better than the blurry pics of the robber in your local bank or c-store.
China. Cameras. Good guys and bad.
In a big-bro world, China's video surveillance is "growing explosively." NYTimes article sounds like an Innotrek brochure without mentioning the name.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/03/world/asia/03china.html?hp
In Restive Chinese Area, Cameras Keep a Watchful Eye
Video surveillance is hardly uncommon in the West. But nowhere else is it growing as explosively as in China, where seven million cameras already watch streets, hotel lobbies, businesses and even mosques and monasteries — and where experts predict an additional 15 million cameras will sprout by 2014.
Much of the proliferation is driven by the same rationales as in Western nations: police forces stretched thin, rising crime, mushrooming traffic jams and the bureaucratic overkill that attends any mention of terrorism.
But China also has another overriding concern — controlling social order and monitoring dissent. And some human rights advocates say they fear that the melding of ever improving digital technologies and the absence of legal restraints on surveillance raise the specter of genuinely Orwellian control over society.
Video software can already spot a chosen automobile in a stream of traffic by reading license plates, and cameras have improved so greatly that some can even take clear pictures of people inside autos. Facial-recognition software is in its infancy, but already, China requires Internet cafe users to be photographed, so that computers can identify them no matter which cafe they patronize, and what identification they present.
Yep, and the A/D line has been turning up nicely - dare I say sharply - over the last eight days.

That's arguable. Scottrade is allowing online buys according to a friend who bot HTDS yesterday. That doesn't necessarily mean ST is settling thru the DTC, of course. According to IR, ex-clearing is a problem with a lot of Pinks these days: "Illegal." My guess is that since the SEC and FINRA have become more vigilant, the MM's and block shorters have gone the ex-clearing route in an attempt to maintain revenues. JMO.
And in other news ...
Worth repeating.
