I believe when EarthShell Cups begin testing with a regional restaurant within the next 60 days, that ERTH will gain many more customers as they see the superior and environmentally friendly products that they provide...It will get sweeter once we get McD's under our belt...

SHPSUP....
I think you are on the money, Things look like they are finally coming together this time, I think it makes sense for them to wait until after the Name Change to release any major developments, as it may cause some confusion. Also the announcement that is to be released at the commencement of the CC imo, must be big if they are having the BOD on hand to discuss it. I think Dr Lee will probably be in on this CC, which will make it all the more interesting and I guess it will give us a clearer cut picture to how Dr Lee is associated with AccessTel.
I have been accumulating recently at a dollar, because at these prices and the people involved, the risk is worth it.

SAN FRANCISCO -- At an investment conference here today, the president of Qualcomm Inc. dropped a number of hints about the company's new multi-mode chip set series for third-generation cellular phones. The chip set will soon be offered as an alternative to digital signal processor (DSP) products from Texas Instruments Inc., Motorola Inc., and others.
The new multi-mode chip set will enable handset makers to offer products that run the various--and incompatible--second-generation and 3G digital-cellular standards on the same silicon platform, said Richard Sulpizio, president and chief operating officer of Qualcomm.
San Diego-based Qualcomm plans to formally announce the chip set in the "next couple of weeks," said Sulpizio after his presentation before the Banc of America Securities conference. "You will be hearing a lot more about it," he said in response to questions about the chip set.
The Qualcomm executive said the chip set will be built around a new, high-end DSP architecture, called DSP4. He would not discuss details of that architecture, but industry observers said they believe the product also contains a 32-bit RISC processor core from ARM Ltd.
Qualcomm's new chip set will compete against several products in the market--particularly TI's DSP-based Open Multimedia Applications Platform (OMAP), according to analysts. Supporting a variety of 2G and 3G standards, the OMAP integrates a software infrastructure, an ARM RISC processor, TI's TMS20C55x DSP, and a shared memory architecture on a single piece of silicon.
Like TI's OMAP architecture, Qualcomm's multi-mode chip set will also support various 2G and 3G standards, such as code-division multiple access (CDMA), cdma2000, wide-CDMA (W-CDMA), global system for mobile communications (GSM), among others, said Sulpizio.
"It will run multiple flavors," he said. "It could run cdma2000, W-CDMA, and GSM."
Also during the conference, Qualcomm named Sulpizio as the chief executive of its new semiconductor spin-off. Qualcomm's so-called "Spinco" entity was announced last year to make the company more focused on core business activities. However, a planned initial public offering for the spin-off was delayed last month after Qualcomm took a $595 million charge against earnings for a troubled satellite venture (see Jan. 25 story).

FG,
Is the 8K for SHPS due, this week or the following week?...also do you think they will file in a timely manner?...Thanks and Seasons Greetings, HSE
Do you think the 8K is far off?...
Even if they may be slow at times, this stock still has loads going for it, LAS-CDMA, is going to be huge, and seeing from their website that their deployment will be wireless in Shanghai, and LinkAir, deploying their trial run early next year, Could LinkAir be using AccessTel for their initial deployment?, IMO, things could turn around, and present conditions are a good buying opportunity...YES ANOTHER ONE...
But I too hope they soon get their act together, but selling here is ridiculous...
Hoping for a good January...

Hard Landing On the Way?
A few weeks ago we raised the odds of a recession in our forecast to 45% from 40%. We felt that this was warranted because on November 15th , the Fed stated that the risks of inflation outweighed the risks of slower growth. The Fed did this despite very little evidence of inflation and clear signs of slower economic growth.
In our view, this Phillips Curve-based thought process continued to put the economy in danger. Even though we were worried, we forecast that rapid growth in high- tech industries would keep the economy from a hard landing. We are now reassessing this view. Very weak economic data, the negative sales report from Gateway, the drop in the Nasdaq, and weak earnings reports from high- tech companies have combined to push the odds of recession up to 60%.
In other words, our forecast must change from a soft landing to a hard landing. We now believe that real GDP will contract at some point over the next six to nine months. And while this contraction may last for just one quarter, thereby avoiding the official definition of a recession, it will feel like a recession for most Americans.
The Fed is Too Tight
This contraction will be caused by an excessively tight monetary policy. Liquidity problems have sent high- yield corporate bond yields soaring and corporate bond downgrades and defaults are on the rise. IPOs have dried up, cutting the air off to entrepreneurs. Personal bankruptcies are on the rise again and bank lending is slowing rapidly. In addition, the liquidity crunch has created problems in Argentina, Turkey and many Asian countries.
Just one look at the chart below, which shows the real federal funds rate, and the problem becomes obvious. The real funds rate (using the “core” PCE deflator) has averaged 4.8% in the last six months and is higher than it has been since 1989, just before the last recession.
We have pointed out for the past year that gold prices, non- oil commodity prices, the yield curve, and the dollar have all signaled that the Fed was too tight. Instead of watching these signals the Fed has focused on the unemployment rate and oil prices. This was a mistake.
Let’s look at the data this week. Durable goods new orders fell 5.5% in October and the key portion of the report, non- defense capital goods orders less aircraft and parts, fell 0.5% -- the third decline in four months. Existing home sales fell 3.9% in October after falling 2.3% in September.
Initial unemployment claims jumped to 358,000 during the week ending November 25 th , the highest level in almost 2 ½ years. The Chicago Purchasing Managers’ Business Barometer fell to 41.7% in November, its lowest level since April 1991. The National Association of Purchasing Management index fell to 47.7, its lowest level since December 1998 in the midst of the Asian financial crisis. Auto sales are falling in November and retailers are reporting lackluster Christmas sales.
Opportunity Costs Are High
The U. S. economy has the potential to grow at 5.0% without creating inflation. But because the Fed believes that growth should be closer to 3.5%, it is attempting to fine- tune economic activity to match this dismal view. This is a very difficult thing to do with a crude instrument like interest rates.
In fact, attempting a soft- landing is like trying to put a single- engine Cessna down in the middle of a hurricane. Every once in awhile someone may succeed, but more often than not, the result is a hard landing.
But a hard landing is just part of the damage. The opportunity cost of slowing the economy in the midst of one of the greatest booms of all time is incredibly large. For example, at 5.0% growth, real GDP would rise to $15.3 trillion in 2010. At 3.5% growth, real GDP would be only $13.2 trillion, and at 2.0% growth, it would equal just $11.4 trillion.
Over the next 10 years, if the Fed were successful at slowing the economy to 3.5%, total output would be $10 trillion lower than it would be if growth were 5.0%. At 2.0% growth the loss in output would be $19 trillion. The impact on federal government revenues would be immense. A $10 trillion dollar loss in output would reduce federal revenues by $2 trillion, a negative for future budgetary issues.
Moreover, unemployment would rise and rob many of the new entrants in the labor force an opportunity to gain experience. Higher unemployment would also put more pressure on government spending. In addition, a slower growing world economy could weaken support for globalization and free trade.
These costs are too high for the Fed to ignore and a rate cut is imminent. While a cut could come in December, we forecast the first rate cut will take place at the end of January. This is too late to stop the economy from slowing significantly, but as the economy slows the Fed will cut rates further. Our forecast puts the funds rate at 5.5% by the end of 2001.
Great News for Bonds, Just OK for Stocks
Often, when the Fed eases, long- term bond yields tend to rise as inflation expectations stop falling. The argument is that when the Fed is worried about inflation, bonds are happy, and when the Fed is worried about the economy bonds get scared. However, as 2001 unfolds, bond yields will head even lower. The main reason for this is that inflation will fall as price- cutting accelerates.
The Fed is behind the curve and is dominated by Phillips Curve adherents. As a result, it will move cautiously and by the time the funds rate hits 5.5%, it will still be too high. This means inflation will fall along with rates and the economy will not bounce back as fast as some might suspect.
As a result, we expect the Fed to continue cutting rates into 2002 and that the funds rate will end this rate cutting cycle below 5.0%. This is good news for bonds, but mixed news for stocks. As the Fed cuts rates, stocks will stabilize, but if the Fed continues to suggest that economic growth should be no higher than 3.5%, diminished expectations will limit exuberance over future profits.

(COMTEX) B: CyberAmerica Corp. Posts Quarterly Earnings Results
B: CyberAmerica Corp. Posts Quarterly Earnings Results
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov 15, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CyberAmerica Corp. (OTC BB:
CYAA) Wednesday announced that it filed its Form 10QSB for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2000.
CYAA's Form 10QSB showed significant financial improvement for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2000 as compared to the previous year. As a result of improved
profitability stockholder equity increased by $246,932 to $9,062,065. This
increase is net of booking an unrealized loss on securities held for investment
of $416,136.
CYAA recorded net profits of $2,993,897 for the first nine months of 2000
compared to net profits of $1,743,978 for same period of 1999, an increase of
71.6 percent. As a result of these net profits, CYAA's earnings per share
totaled $.97 for the first nine months compared to $.57 for the same period in
the previous year and $1.14 for the entire year of 1999.
CYAA believes that the company is still on track to beat last year's earnings by
year-end and the first nine months' results reflect that pace.
Gross revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2000, were $4,635,854 as
compared to $3,597,823 for the comparable period in 1999. The nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2000 include $2,126,479 in property sales, $545,074 in consulting
revenue, and $269,493 in rental revenues. Revenues exceed those of the previous
year for the first nine months in every category.
Although this is extremely positive, this trend may or may not continue. Due to
the period of time involved in a particular consulting project and the sporadic
nature of land sales, management feels it is not abnormal to see swings in gross
revenue from time to time.
CYAA's book value per share dropped slightly to $3.03 for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2000, from $3.15 as of June 30, 2000, due in part to an increase in
the number of outstanding shares. A large portion of the shares issued were used
to acquire an additional 20 percent stake in Wasatch Capital Corp. which owns
commercial property in downtown Salt Lake City.
For more information regarding this transaction see press release dated Sept.
26, 2000. If the shares issued for this transaction were not taken into account,
the book value would have increased to $3.185 per share.
CYAA's significant increase in profitability allowed it to improve its working
capital position and gain further financial stability. At Sept. 30, 2000, CYAA
had current assets of $8,217,805 and total assets of $15,849,986, as compared to
$6,019,507 and $17,726,261, respectively at Dec. 31, 1999.
The increase allowed CYAA to enjoy a working capital surplus of $7,675,413 for
the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2000, compared to a surplus of $3,831,190 for
the year ended Dec. 31, 1999. The working capital surplus equates to
approximately $2.57 per share.
CYAA's investment strategy and operational mode will continue to be aggressively
geared towards a diversified portfolio of high risk real estate and investment
securities which management believes may lead to greater returns and substantial
increases in shareholder value.
To help realize CYAA's future plans, management is continuing to evaluate
business lines and properties to streamline operations and eliminate
non-performing assets from the company. Significant strides in this area have
been made in July, August, and September of this year, and the company is
aggressively pursuing these opportunities.
CYAA is a diversified holding company that specializes in investing and
developing undervalued real estate and provides financial consulting services to
public and private companies.
