World Trade Talks in Chaos After Protests By Donna Smith Reuters SEATTLE (Nov. 30) - A meeting of world trade leaders was thrown into chaos Tuesday by massive protests that choked this port city and effectively imprisoned many conference delegates in their hotels. The streets of Seattle were shrouded in clouds of tear gas as armed police battled with demonstrators who successfully delayed the start of the opening ceremony of the World Trade Organization (WTO) by blocking key street intersections. ''What we're seeing on the streets is the deep concern and uncertainty that the benefits of globalization have not sufficiently reached the people of the world,'' said International Labor Organization Director-General Juan Somavia. ''Whose world? Our world. Whose streets? Our streets,'' chanted the protesters, who say free trade benefits big business at the expense of the environment, jobs and communities. The demonstrations forced the WTO to postpone its opening ceremony from 10 a.m. and to shift location from a downtown theater to the city's more secure convention center, where the talks on a new global trade liberalization round are scheduled to take place until Dec. 3. WTO Director-General Mike Moore announced the postponement to a half-empty theater. The decision to postpone the ceremony was taken by the U.S. government as host of the meeting, the WTO said. ''It's obviously very unfortunate that the sessions have been delayed, but the meetings will go on and we all realize the tremendous importance of success,'' Deputy Treasury Secretary Stuart Eizenstat said. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky was among those kept in her hotel by the protests, U.S. and WTO officials said. ''We stopped them,'' a gleeful speaker at a rally near the Paramount Theater said. Police said they were using two types of pepper spray, one which is fired as a spray and the other which is shot as a plastic projectile containing pepper spray. They had also fired small rubber pellets, which they described as ''stingers.'' A 55-year-old college teacher among the protesters said had been hit by a police projectile. ''I heard a pop and next thing I know my leg was hurting,'' he said. Separately, but adding to the confusion, around 16,000 people march through the city in a demonstration organized by the AFL-CIO labor confederation, which wants labor issues included in trade talks. Earlier, the protesters took over at least five city intersections and chanted, sang and danced outside the theater where the opening ceremony of the WTO ministerial meeting was to take place. Police and demonstrators had faced off peacefully for about 2-1/2 hours before police finally began to move in at around 10 a.m. The Paramount Theater and the Seattle conference center where the meetings were to be held were surrounded by phalanxes of armed police wearing gas masks. Armored cars and mounted police were also deployed. DELEGATES ''ASSAULTED'' Police warned delegates to stay in their hotels for their own safety and accused protesters of attacking some trade officials. ''Delegates are being assaulted and they're being bused to the convention center,'' a policeman said. A Colombian delegation headed by foreign trade minister Martha Lucia Ramirez was assailed by demonstrators who banged on the roof of their car. Police had to disperse them. ''We were attacked by people with masks,'' a Colombian diplomat told Reuters. Other delegates expressed their extreme frustration at the delay and the pressure they felt the demonstrations were exerting on this week's negotiations. ''I've never seen any meeting of this sort so badly organized and mishandled,'' said one senior developing country ambassador who heads his delegation at the WTO in Geneva. ''I'm convinced the Americans have let this happen to reduce the time available for negotiation and make it easier for them to put pressure on us to give in on issues vital to us,'' he added. In Washington, President Clinton said he sympathized with protesters and said trade agreements should take into consideration labor and environmental concerns. Clinton is scheduled to arrive in the city early Wednesday. The trade ministers were meeting to set the agenda for a new round of negotiations aimed at cutting tariffs and other barriers in a broad range of sectors from agriculture to electronic commerce. By reaching out to labor unions and other WTO critics, the United States and the EU hoped to blunt criticism of the WTO and mollify the protesters. Reut17:07 11-30-99

C-3D Digital, Inc., the world's first 3D television network and 3D Internet media company, today announced key appointments to its corporate management team and technical production staff. D. Alan Hunter, General Counsel, joins C-3D Digital with 19 years of experience in corporate law, civil litigation, appeals, and other transactional work. "Alan's previous experience as in-house counsel for a direct-to-home satellite programmer and Internet services company enables him to bring valuable experience to C-3D Digital," stated J. Michael Heil, C-3D Digital Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to utilizing his expertise in our contract negotiations, acquisitions and new business development." "Being a long time stereoscopic enthusiast," Hunter commented, "I'm very excited to become a part of this organization." C-3D Digital has also retained the consulting services of world-renowned 3D Stereoscopic Consultant, John Rupkalvis. Rupkalvis is well known for his work, as a 3D stereoscopic consultant, on numerous projects including Terminator II 3D and Universal Pictures' Metalstorm 3D. Rupkalvis' experience covers the acquisition and display of stereoscopic images in virtually every process, as applied to still and motion picture photography, television and computer graphics imaging. Recently, Rupkalvis authored the Official Imax-3D Manual for producers of stereoscopic motion pictures in the large Imax format for the Imax Corporation. "John's comprehensive knowledge of stereoscopic 3D imaging is impressive," said Doug Stanley, C-3D Television Network General Manager. "We're excited to have him working with our 3D production team and expect great things to come out of this collaboration." C-3D Digital also announced that Brad Stolba, Controller, will assume the position of interim Chief Financial Officer created by the resignation of former CFO Steve Anderson. Mr. Anderson cited personal reasons for the decision, including difficulty in relocating to Los Angeles from Salt Lake City, Utah where the company was previously headquartered. Mr. Anderson joined Chequemate International in 1995 when it was a financial services company. Michael Heil stated, "Steve was a great asset to the Company. We are fortunate that Brad has the skills and experience to fill the CFO position during this period of transition." Stolba passed the CPA exam in 1989 and has over 17 years finance and accounting experience in the private, public and government sectors. C-3D Digital is a leading 3D media company that gives broadcasting and entertainment companies the ability to deliver 3D entertainment to any standard television 24 hours a day.
