Bill, good to hear from you. I had heard 5 deaths, so must be spreading. Interestingly the big AIDS conference is in Zambia this week, and there is a piece in the Lusaka Monitor about prostitutes strategies to cash in on the extra men in town. Anyplace other than central Africa, one would think that selling sex at an AIDS conference would be a tough sell. WMC reports Russian Ni production up 7.9% in July. Also Shangahai Bac Steel Group plans to convert Shanghai #1 Steel Works [those Marxists had a way with names, didn't they] into a stainless steel plant. Phase I to 2001, 304 kt/pa. Phase II to 2003 to increase to 792 kt/pa. Now, if we can just get all the construction workers and stainless steel workers to ride to work on scooters with Ni-Cd batteries. Australian press reporting today that Indonesia considering 'peacekeepers'. Why not, they've got all the E. Timorese in concentration camps in W. Timor. Guess which Indonesian island is closest to Oz? If you guessed Timor, you're right. Oz produces 80% of its own oil. 20% imported. Leading source of imported oil? [hint, why did the Japanese strike south on 12/7/41?] Right again, Indonesia. So if economic sanctions go in, Oz energy costs go up. I'm sure this won't effect the laterites, right?
