[Iraqi banking friend Aki update]  Question:  “Do you feel Alaq will give us the new exchange rate this month or at least in this quarter?”   AKI:   This is what I have heard.  This is not going to be given to you as a fact.  You know what I do [manage a bank].  You know where I’m at [Dearborn Michigan] …I have heard this will be all done by the end of the 2nd quarter or at the beginning of the 3rd quarter.
