Allow me ... I'll guess ... $31 -32 then a brief rest or slight pullback. Then on to 37. Course the $37 bar may get raised. That's just my guess. Stay Tuned! Ray

Ram, Paul, et.al.: Yup, VERY good news(and about time, too from the standpoint of some of the long suffering longs, eh?).

But speaking of happy feet dancing....anybody see what's happened to VoiceStream? Whoooosh....talk about folks happy feeting.... Now....ooooonnnnnnn to tomorrow! John~

81,600 Sardines Required Daily to Feed 17,000 Penguins Rescued from Massive South African Oil Spill CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW - www.ifaw.org) -- a Massachusetts-based international conservation group -- today reported that six metric tons of sardines are required daily to feed the more than 17,000 African penguins rescued from the 23 June Treasure oil spill in South Africa. That's a staggering 81,600 of the 15-centimeter long fish that must be at the onset hand-fed by a team of more than 900 volunteers at the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) center in the Cape Town suburb of Salt River. More than three weeks after the oil spill disaster, many of the penguins have quickly learned the art of eating on their own, or "free feeding," meaning volunteers no longer have the laborious task of force feeding the penguins. Because of this, sardine consumption has risen in a week from four metric tons to 6,145 metric tons yesterday (Sunday). "This feeding operation is crucial to the overall rescue and rehabilitation of these African penguins," said Sarah Scarth, IFAW International Emergency Relief Director. "It is vital for their survival, and without the kind support of volunteers and the donation of sardines, it would not be a success." This massive feeding operation was established and managed by expert Gail Sipenski of the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, US -- one of 40 international oiled wildlife rehabilitators who form IFAW's Oiled Wildlife Rescue Team. IFAW's internationally renowned team is working in partnership with SANCCOB to ensure that the birds are rehabilitated and will be able to return to their natural habitat as quickly as possible. "Each penguin eats between four and six fish a day," says Sipenski, who is now back at Mystic Aquarium as a replacement flies to South Africa. "In the beginning there was a lot of waste as the birds were having to be force fed and would fight against the feeder, breaking the fish up as they did so. "Now they understand how to free feed they're eating lots more, and more successfully. "There's no way we can afford to take short cuts in this part of the operation and that means we all smell like fishmongers day and night. But this is such a vital part of the process. The penguins have to be healthy and robust before they go through the intensive de-oiling process and ensuring they are well fed and stable before that is absolutely vital," emphasized Sipenski. Each penguin also receives one sardine a day that has been stuffed with vitamins. This replaces natural vitamin B1 and vitamin E that are lost when the sardines are frozen for processing. IFAW has launched an international appeal to assist with the massive African penguin rescue, now estimated to cost more than $100,000.
