Anyone know why DBC.com is not providing a GRNO-BB quote now (I have been out of the country and it looks like they are not providing -BB quotes). Would someone give me a site where I can get a GRNO quote. Thanks. John

If GRNO is able to business with Manova in Turkey, it wouldn't hurt to get up to speed on what is happening in that part of the world now that attention is off the Iraq situation. Turkey is ruled by a mostly conservative coalition that is very fiercely concerned with maintaining the secular approach to government set in place by their 20th century George Washington, Kemel Ataturk. Their political scene is increasingly under pressure by fundamentalist Islamic interest, primarily from the poorer sector. It may be in everybody's interest that Turkey's economy be greatly improved. I think this will tend to keep Turkey out of the violent fundamentalist camp represented by the murderers in Algeria and by our enemies in Iran who oppose the liberal element there that does not hate America. Many years ago, there was a coup on the island of Cyprus, populated mostly by ethnic Greeks. Turkey invaded Cyprus to protect its minority Turkish population there and I think controls the northern part of the island. Now the European Community of nations (EU) wants to bring Cyprus into the EU along with a number of formerly East Bloc countries while telling Turkey to wait until Turkey improves its human rights record. The fact that Greece is a long standing member of the EU and that Europe is Christian is a major sore point with Turkey and its collective nose is severely out of joint. A recent example of Turkey's human rights problems is its suppression of the Islamic fundamentalists by outlawing every political party they form. They even had a leader elected premier, but who was removed from power. Another example is their treatment of their Kurdish population in their southeast area bordering Iraq. If Turkey could create a good working relationship with the Kurds, it would help the world's interests with regard to Saddam Hussein. The chancellor of Germany recently got into an exchange of insults with the Turkish Prime Minister, indicating the deteriorating relations between Turkey and the EU. The whole scene is not to anybody's advantage except for the criminal head cases of the world. Turkey was invited to a EU conference in England but turned it down. My interest in Turkish business is that the more prosperous Turkey is, the more waste oil they will generate. If GRNO gets an order from Manova, I think the chances are there will be more to follow, and it will be in our interest for Turkey to be stable and prosperous. Joining the EU would help the Turkish economy by increasing trade and investment in Turkey. There is a synopsis of the current situation at the following URL. infoseek.com:80/Content?arn=a0883LBY183reulb-19980310&qt=turkey&col=NX&kt=A&ak=news1486 Charles

Will miracles never cease? SK will talk to LLE. ELGIN, Ill., March 10 (Reuters) - Safety-Kleen Corp. said Tuesday it has terminated its merger agreement with a partnership headed by Philip Services Corp. of Canada and has initiated merger talks with hostile suitor Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. . Late Monday, the leading U.S. processor of used lube oil said it failed to receive enough shareholder support to approve a proposed takeover by the Philip Services group. A vote in favor by two-thirds of the total shares outstanding was needed for approval. SK Parent Corp., which is controlled by Philip Services, an environmental waste services company, had offered $27 per share in cash for Safety-Kleen. Apollo Advisors and Blackstone Management Associates are also part of SK Parent. South Carolina-based Laidlaw, which has offered $30 in cash and stock for Safety-Kleen, had no immediate comment. Safety-Kleen said in a statement it took no position on the Laidlaw offer pending the outcome of negotiations. It said each of the roughly 50 parties that had entered into confidentiality and standstill agreements with Safety-Kleen as part of its evaluation of strategic options is released from the standstill provisions of those agreements. This action permits those parties to make a proposal to acquire Safety-Kleen if they choose to, Safety-Kleen said. Safety-Kleen shares finished Monday at 26-5/8. Laidlaw closed at 4-7/16. newsalert.com Charles
