APA seems to offering conflicting statements on that though by saying they won't agree to any extensions, yet continue negotiating as long as AAG does.

Perhaps Parker will use this situation to kick the can past the holiday's ?

The question then is, would the APA allow themselves and us to be dragged down the primrose path thus confirming to Parker that THEY are in control of US ?
