KATIE HOLMES: FEARING FOR HER TOMKITTEN
Katie Holmes was already worried about the upcoming birth of her baby. According to the tenets of 43-year-old fiancé Tom Cruise's religion, Scientology, she'll have to be silent (not even a moan!) during the delivery, lest the trauma be imprinted in her baby's brain. Plus, a source says, "Only Tom and a few Scientology supporters will be in the room — not Katie's mother!" And Scientology advocates separating the baby from its mother for at least the first 24 hours after birth. Now... IT'S OVER! KRISTIN CHEATS ON NICK WITH HER EX!

2:07 pm PT GMX Resources Releases Additional Information on Deep Cotton Valley Potential Operational Expectations (GMXR) 28.04 +2.49 : Based on log analysis completed by�independent service providers, co has estimated the incremental net reserves from the lower CV layers recently encountered per well to be 0.4 to 1.3 Bcfe. This is based on estimated gas in place per section of 108-160 Bcfe and estimated gas recoveries of 8-16%. Co has 25 net sections. Co estimates the incremental cost to complete in the lower sections to be a range of $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the degree of fracture stimulation used, which results in a cost per mmcfe ranging from $1.25 to $0.77, of additional reserves added to its existing well. Co does not anticipate that the strategy to complete in the lower levels will result in a material change to its current estimate of wells to be drilled in 2006, but this estimate remains dependent on rig availabilities. Completion times for the wells with lower CV levels will likely take longer, resulting in time from spud to completion and production of 60 to 90 days, including the Taylor sand that we normally complete in the production string.
