reports
that OAO Gazprom considered a Dow Jones bid weren't strange enough, how about

minority shareholder in Green Rubber, according to a report in local paper The
Malaysian Star. Green Rubber has developed a clean method using ultrasound to
recycle rubber from old tires — current methods involve incinerating tires.
