TiVo's stock price is down about 2% in after-market trading — following a 3% drop earlier today. The DVR pioneer ended its fiscal Q1 in April with a net loss of $20.8M, down from a $139M profit in the period last year, on revenues of $67.8M, up 48.1%. (Last year's profit included $175.7M from Dish Network as part of the settlement of TiVo's patent infringement suit against the satellite company.) The revenue figure was far ahead of the $54.9M that analysts expected. But the loss exceeded the maximum of $20M that TiVo projected three months ago. The 17 cents a share deficit also exceeded the 15 cent loss that the Street anticipated. TiVo ended the quarter with 2.5M subscribers, up 206,000 from the period that ended in January. But all of the gains came from cable and satellite companies offering TiVo services. The number of people paying TiVo directly declined by 29,000 and now represents 43.5% of its total customer base. The company's losses will increase to as much as $30M in the current quarter, TiVo warns. Research and development costs should rise as the company develops software and products for pay TV providers. Also, the company expects legal expenses to increase due to its patent infringement cases against Verizon, Motorola, and Time Warner Cable. CEO Tom Rogers, who's eager to line up licensing deals with pay TV providers, says that TiVo plans to launch a TV Everywhere Web portal for operators. "This will allow the operator to make sure there is a common interface and thus a common experience across all the devices a consumer may want to use to access their TV content."

Despite a dominant all-round performance which led Taita into the top four, skipper Mark Houghton says the jury remains out on how well his team is playing in Wellington premier cricket.
Houghton scored 104, his third club century, then took 3-33 with his left-arm spin as Taita dispatched bottom-placed Wainuiomata by 154 runs in a Ewen Chatfield Cup 50-over match on Saturday.
It saw Taita move into the top four on the points table, joining leaders Karori, Eastern Suburbs and University after five rounds.
Houghton could hardly have downplayed his efforts more.
"It was OK. I was the benefactor of a bit of luck; Wainui had a few players unavailable so circumstances worked in my favour a bit."
On his young side's current form, Houghton said: "It's difficult to judge because the way the draw's worked we haven't played anyone who's been ranked above us.
"Easts and Karori are both on our side of the draw but next week we have Naenae and I think Wellington players will be available so certainly we'll be tested against Jesse [Ryder] and Grant [Elliott]."
Houghton batted at No 3 as Taita racked up 293-9, with opener Sam Le Gros' 45 the next best, then they dismissed Wainui for 139.
All six games on Saturday saw bonus point victories, with Karori, Easts, Upper Hutt, Onslow and Johnsonville the other sides to dominate.
The latter claimed their first win of the season, inspired by Firebirds all-rounder Luke Woodcock, who took 5-25 with his left-arm spin.
Johnsonville scored 200, then dismissed North City for 102 in 34.2 overs. Seth Rance backed up Woodcock with the ball, taking 3-18.
Karori lead Easts by one point after they beat Collegians by 127 runs. Chris Spring topscored with 55 in Karori's 289-8, then Jarrad Sewell and Fraser Quarterman took three wickets apiece as Collegians perished for 162.
Easts scored 194 but it was enough for a 77-run win over Naenae who languish alongside Wainui at the foot of the ladder.
Jamie Gibson topscored with 52 then skipper Lance Dry took 4-24 as Naenae folded for 117.
Upper Hutt's Matt Taylor blazed 73 not out as they chased down Hutt District's 142 with ease to win by seven wickets. Daniel Henderson led a disciplined Upper Hutt bowling effort with 3-14 from nine overs.
Onslow comfortably defended 193-8 against Petone-Eastbourne, winning by 53 runs with Peter Vorster (3-26) their most successful bowler.

Toyota settles lawsuit affecting 1.3 million vehicle owners
Toyota Canada Inc. settles lawsuit affecting 1.3 million vehicle owners involving sudden acceleration recalls in 2009 and 2010
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Toyota Canada Inc. has agreed to settle a lawsuit involving one of the biggest recalls in automotive history.
The agreement, if approved by the courts, will cover 1.3 million Toyota vehicles in Canada and is worth an estimated $120 million to $140 million, lawyers for the plaintiffs said. Much of the payout is non-cash.
"This will be the largest consumer products resolution in Canadian history based on the dollar value and all counts," said Joel Rochon, a partner in the Toronto law firm Rochon Genova, one of four firms that represented the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit arose out of allegations in late 2009 and early 2010 that some Toyota vehicles were prone to sudden acceleration due to sticky gas pedals and also interference from floor mats.
Toyota, which denied any liability in the case, said in a statement Friday that ''turning the page on this legacy legal issue is in the best interests of the company, employees, dealers and, most of all, customers."
The settlement includes enhanced warranties for certain vehicle components for three to 10 years.
The car maker will also retrofit certain additional non-hybrid vehicles with a brake over-ride system.
Those not eligible for the brake over-ride system will receive a cash payment, which lawyers for the plaintiffs say amounts to $62.50 per vehicle.
The proposed settlement would also establish four scholarships at engineering schools yet to be named. The scholarships are worth $600,000.
The Canadian recalls were part of Toyota's global recall of more than 14 million vehicles to fix various problems that included sticky gas pedals and floor mats that entrapped the accelerator.
At the time, Toyota said the recalls affected the 2009-2010 RAV4, the 2009-2010 Corolla, the 2009-2010 Matrix, the 2005-2010 Avalon, the 2007-2010 Camry, the 2010 Highlander, the 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.
"It's a relief to know that Toyota will be offering substantial benefits to a very large number of Canadian consumers in order to resolve these actions" said representative plaintiff Steven Hamilton in a statement.
"I think that this is a fair settlement for Toyota owners across the country."
Toyota Canada defended its track record on quality and safety Friday.
"Reliable scientific evidence and multiple independent evaluations have confirmed the safety of Toyota's electronic throttle control systems," the company said in a statement.
The benefits provided to Canadian customers under the economic loss settlement agreement are intended to further demonstrate that consumers can continue to be confident in their vehicles and count on Toyota to stand behind its products, the company said.
Toyota's slow handling of some recalls and investigations by U.S. regulators, primarily over pedal flaws and possible sudden acceleration, hurt the company's long standing reputation for quality and safety. It was also partially responsible for a sharp decline in sales in Canada during the period.
The Canadian settlement comes a month after courts in the U.S. approved a U.S. agreement between Toyota Motor Corp. and consumers over the same recalls. Plaintiff lawyers estimated the U.S. deal was worth $1.63 billion (U.S).
The Tokyo-based parent company said in December it would take a one-time $1.1 billion charge to cover the costs of the U.S. settlement.
The settlements don't resolve individual personal-injury or wrongful-death lawsuits against the company, plaintiff lawyers said.
Toyota's sales and profits have since recovered as it cut costs and benefited from a weaker yen relative to North American currencies.
Toyota was Canada's fourth largest selling brand in 2012, as sales jumped 18.4 per cent to 192,058 vehicles, behind Ford, Chrysler and General Motors.
On Aug. 3, the parent company said global profit nearly doubled in the first quarter compared with a year ago, while quarterly sales jumped 14 per cent to $6.25 trillion yen ($62.6 billion).
The parent company has set an ambitious global production goal of 10.1 million vehicles for 2013.
Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda has stressed the automaker plans to grow cautiously to avoid quality problems in the future.

BKT and Univergomma showcase their agricultural tire range at EIMA 2014
Bologna, Spain - BKT and its Italian distributor Univergomma showcase at EIMA 2014 the agriculture tire ranges for high-power tractors, reaping and harvesting equipment, sprayers and trailers. At Eima, the RIDEMAX FL 693 M and RIDEMAX FL 698 tires for trailers play their premiere in Italy.
RIDEMAX FL 693 M, exhibited in the size 650/55 R 26.5, is the ideal radial tire for those who frequently travel on the road with trailers or tank trucks. Actually designed for a mainly on-the-road use, RIDEMAX FL 693 M combines excellent performance and self-cleaning features. The D speed index stands for higher speeds on the road, leading to significant time savings. Besides, the low rolling resistance contributes to lower fuel consumption.
Also RIDEMAX FL 698 makes its debut at Eima. Being part of the RIDEMAX family, this All Steel radial tire has been mainly conceived for road usage achieving speeds of 80 km/h. It is the right tire for dumpers traveling from pits to sites, for tank trucks and manure spreaders. The All Steel structure provides increase of load capacity and extraordinary resistance essential features for the intended applications.
In addition to these new entries, the tire lines AGRIMAX FORCE, AGRIMAX TERIS, AGRIMAX RT 945, AGRIMAX SPARGO and MULTIMAX MP 522 are showcased. These cutting-edge products have been specially designed for the needs of todays farmers.
AGRIMAX FORCE, displayed in the size IF 900/60 R 38, is a radial tire for high-power tractors (over 250 HP). As a further development of the IF Technology, the tire combines major load capacity and lower inflation pressure compared to a standard tire of the same size. Besides, the large footprint area on the ground along with the special lug design ensures higher traction on the land.
For reaping and harvesting operations, BKT has developed the radial tire AGRIMAX TERIS, which is displayed at Eima in the size 800/65 R 32. This lineup specially features excellent flotation and high load capacity, considerably reducing soil compaction. AGRIMAX TERIS also features a special sidewall protection for increased resistance and hence a longer tire life even under difficult circumstances such as the presence of very resistant stems and scrub.
For sprayer and row crop applications, BKT displays two solutions at Eima: AGRIMAX RT 945 in the size 320/90 R 50 and Agrimax Spargo in the size 380/90 R 46. Thanks to a decreased tread width, these tires enable the equipment to easily pass between rows without damaging crops, preserving hence harvest and yield productivity. Thanks to the special VF technology, AGRIMAX SPARGO ensures a higher load capacity at the same inflation pressure compared to a standard tire.
Not least for the agro-industrial segment, BKT takes also Multimax MP 522 in the size 460/70 R 24 to the show. Designed with a reinforced bead and a steel-belted casing, this tire ensures optimum resistance against punctures. The result is a longer tire life and outstanding load capacity, providing at the same time utmost stability and grip under any condition.
More than products at EIMA 2014: BKT is also the sponsor of an important survey on the state and future of contract farming in Italy entitled: Outsourcing as a key element of competitiveness for Italian agriculture. The study is presented on Thursday, November 13 in the Pala Green Hall at BolognaFiere. An address by Ms. Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director of BKT Europe is foreseen.
The contract farmer, a main reference for BKT, is a key figure within agricultural scenery as they own a large number of machinery, which is periodically renewed. Besides, they use large tractors requiring high-performance tires. This is the reason for BKTs strategic choice to sponsor the event followed by a round table with the participation of the major national associations: UNIMA (National Union of Agricultural Machinery Enterprises), ENAMA (National Body for the Agro-Mechanical Industry), FEDERUNACOMA (Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation), CONFAI (Agro-Mechanical Confederation) and UNACMA (National Union of Agricultural Machinery Dealers).

Wacker introduces ultra-pure silicone film
Munich, Germany - WACKER will be introducing ultrapure precision silicone films at Energy Harvesting & Storage USA. The film is available as roll stock in thicknesses down to 20 microns. Marketed as ELASTOSIL® Film, the product broadens the application potential of silicones significantly, making new product ideas possible, such as functional membranes and components for medical electronics or innovative technologies based on electroactive polymers such as sensors, actuators, and generators. Energy Harvesting & Storage USA will took place in Santa Clara, CA, on November 19 & 20.
Precision silicone film: ELASTOSIL® Film from the Munich-based chemical group WACKER is thinner than human hair. The film is manufactured under cleanroom conditions and has excellent dielectric properties. Potential applications include functional membranes and innovative technologies based on electroactive polymers (EAPs).
ELASTOSIL® Film is a precision silicone film that has not yet been made commercially available in this form. It is made entirely from silicone elastomers and is available as roll stock in thicknesses down to 20 microns. ELASTOSIL® Film is manufactured in cleanroom conditions without the use of solvents. For improved handling, it comes with an intermediate backing which can be peeled off easily without damaging the product.
WACKERs patent-registered production process provides immaculate and extremely uniform continuous-feed films with a defined thickness. It deviates from the specification by +/- 5 percent at most across the entire width and length of the film web. This particular property, together with the materials typical silicone characteristics, permits technical applications that were previously very hard or even impossible to implement on an industrial scale.
ELASTOSIL® Film is suitable as a gas-permeable packaging and protective film or as a membrane for separating or enriching gases. In this regard, silicone films exhibit a beneficial property typical of silicone elastomers: the film is permeable to water vapor and certain gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, but not to water.
Silicone elastomers are electrically insulating, have good dielectric properties, and endure long-term mechanical loads with hardly any signs of fatigue. Therefore, ELASTOSIL® Film can also be used as an electroactive polymer (EAP). Under certain conditions, EAPs are able to alter their shape when electrical voltage is applied. Thus, they are able to replicate linear and natural forms of movement. Based on this principle of an artificial muscle, silicon films can be used to design novel kinds of sensors, actuators, and generators. Possible applications range from consumer electronics, electrical relays, valves and pumps to artificial limbs.
In the future, silicone films may also play a pivotal role in the conversion of maritime wave power into electricity. As part of a project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), a consortium of industrial and R&D partners led by Robert Bosch GmbH is developing the basic principles underlying future wave farms. WACKER is the project member responsible for developing silicone films and the related production process.
ELASTOSIL® Film provides the key to the commercialization of innovative designs and technologies. The films ensure precise functioning. Thanks to their durability, they also make sure that critical components enjoy almost maintenance-free operating.

Five Energy Stories Worth Reading Today (11/18/14)
Here are five recommended reads for today (11/18/14).
- Greentech Media reports: "SunEdison and its YieldCo TerraForm just acquired wind developer First Wind for $2.4 billion. It means SunEdison is in the wind business and can now add wind projects to the solar project pipeline of its YieldCo, TerraForm. The purchase price was comprised of $1.9 billion in an upfront payment and a $510 million earn-out."
- According to Renewable Energy World: "The new era in Congress may mean trouble for some old tax breaks. The wind energy tax credit, championed by environmentalists, Democrats, a few Republicans and companies including General Electric Co. and Siemens AG, may be imperiled as its most important backers in Congress lose clout."
- The Washington Post reports, "The U.S. Forest Service has backed off a proposal to ban fracking in the George Washington National Forest, a move likely to upset conservationists who oppose the controversial drilling practice."
- According to the Washington Post's Wonkblog, "Another reason to be outraged over Congress' Keystone bill: It gives one company special treatment."
- The New York Times reports: "In detailed proposals submitted in May and August, the public relations firm Edelman outlined a plan to investigate groups that had opposed Energy East, a pipeline in development by TransCanada. Edelman urged TransCanada to develop its own sympathetic supporters and spread any unflattering findings about the opposition."

Say all you want about how "it's the personality that matters" and "It's what's inside that counts" etc, etc. I agree those are the basis of the relationship, but physical attraction IS important. If someone you thought was "gross" (however you define that) asked you out, would you say yes? I doB\n't think a little weight should matter, I've been in this exact situation. But no one should act high and mighty by saying looks don't matter. If you can't stand to kiss a guy, then how is the relationship going to work?

i think looks only matter because they help the person to notice you, but if you really like him for his personality, thats what really matters. theres somebody for everybody, even overweight people, and who knows maybe hes your somebody.

The Cleantech Crash: 60 Minutes Asks the Wrong Question
Lesley Stahl's segment on 60 Minutes last Sunday entitled the "Cleantech Crash" has been the subject of much commentary. The segment largely reiterates the popular storyline that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) wasted billions of dollars on worthless Cleantech investments, which the Chinese are now buying for a song.
Critics have called the segment a "hit job," a "debacle," an "about face" and even "Dumb & Dumber Part 3." What immediately comes to my mind, however, is the old Woody Allen line about the food being bad and there not being enough of it. The idea that the DOE invested in something worthless and that the Chinese are now stealing it from us does not stand up to logic.
But while I agree with the critics, that 60 Minutes got it wrong last Sunday, it is important to understand exactly what it got wrong. 60 Minutes did not get the facts wrong. Nor did it unfairly cite those facts selectively. What 60 Minutes got wrong was that it asked the wrong question.
In advanced battery technology, the bulk of the DOE's Stimulus Package investments, about which 60 Minutes complained, came through the Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative (FOA-26). In all, more than $2 billion was invested in electric battery production and supply facilities spread among 30 corporate grantees. Among those grantees, as noted by 60 Minutes, were companies such as A123 Systems and EnerDel, which subsequently went bankrupt.
Indeed, the whole focus of the 60 Minutes segment was on the Cleantech companies that have failed. At one point, Lesley Stahl dramatically reads a list of failed Cleantech companies to Vinod Khosla before exclaiming "Pfff…I'm exhausted."
The point Ms. Stahl missed is that it is irrelevant whether the companies that received DOE money succeeded or failed. The DOE never invested in companies. It never purchased a single share of stock. It is true that many private investors lost money in companies that received DOE awards. Those investors made bets on A123, EnerDel and other Cleantech companies. Had those bets worked out, the investors would have profited handsomely. Unfortunately they failed. Too bad. Tough luck. Or, as Pin Ni of Wanxiang put it in the 60 Minutes program, "That's capitalism."
What the DOE invested in was technology. The goal of the FOA-26 grants was to improve the technology and reduce the costs of advanced batteries so that they might one day reduce the use of petroleum-based fuels in transportation. Which investors ended up owning that technology was of no concern to the DOE, and rightfully so. All that was intended was to fund the development of a new technology that might one day reduce national reliance on petroleum-based fuels.
The question Ms. Stahl should have asked is what happened to the Cleantech technology funded by the DOE? The answer to that question would certainly reflect much better on the DOE's investment choices. In the advanced battery space, industry has made slow but steady progress on increasing the energy density of batteries capable of powering electric vehicles. Since 2009, by some estimates the cost of advanced automotive batteries on a per kilowatt basis has been reduced by half.
Advanced battery technology still has a way to go in order to displace a material quantity of petroleum used by our national vehicle fleet. The energy density of advanced batteries needs to go up and their price needs to come down. It is possible that the technology will never get there. And if it does not, then it would be fair to say, with respect to advanced batteries, that Cleantech has crashed.
But it is just possible that one day advanced batteries and electric motors will improve to the point where they become an economically attractive alternative to petroleum-fueled cars for many American consumers. That day may not be far off. When that day comes it is likely that we will look back at the early DOE investments in technology developed by long since failed Cleantech companies and understand how important those investments were.
It is worth noting that A123 Systems and EnerDel, which both went bankrupt, have since reorganized and attracted new private investment. The advanced battery technologies owned by them in which the DOE invested continue to develop and improve.

john werneken says:
WHY should the public desire ANY technology related to electric cars? It is not posible to conceive of an electric car for which the production of the car, the energy storage mechanism, and the energy, plus the transportation of the energy as needed to reach the car, does not exceed the cost of any imaginable other option, both environmentally and economically.
SOME PEOPLE think electric cars make sense. Let them pay for this chit.
Wilmot McCutchen says:
What's missing is technology assessment, where the merits could be vetted. Someplace for the truth to have a fair shot before DOE makes up its mind to spend money. The 20% cost sharing requirement of ARPA-E, which is touted as DOE's long shot effort, makes sure only big companies get to the batter's box, and ARPA-E projects have not produced any home runs, just bunts and a few singles.
Cleantech is a tainted brand which has come to mean only wind, solar, and biofuels -- non-hydro renewables -- and efficiency tweaks like metering and software. It sounds comprehensive of all pollution control technology, but in practice is only about alternative energy, which is not attractive when natural gas from fracking is abundant, and shale oil cheap.
John Miller says:
The debate should have centered on the most important issue: why did the DOE prematurely fund capital manufacturing assets without doing reasonable due diligence as is commonly done throughout most Free Markets? Yes, investors routinely fund many new and innovative technologies that more often fail than succeed. The investors or their representatives are responsible for executing a reasonable level of due diligence to evaluate the probability of: 1) the manufacturing costs being reasonably competitive, 2) the market exists to support reasonably profitable operations and 3) all the known and probably investment risks have been critically evaluated. These steps the DOE did not do or did a relatively poor job in many cases that resulted in prematurely funding developing technologies which were not ready to compete in a Free Market. Of course, private funds were also lost, but these were decisions made by Venture Capitalists and not Government Bureaucrats with limited business development experience/knowledge that arguably resulted in $Billions of wastefully spending largely funded by growing deficits that someday will have to be settled up by future taxpayer revenues.
Do not misinterpret my belief that Government DOE should help support the development of new clean technologies, but such financial support should be dedicated and limited to R&D and not risky-premature manufacturing facilities. Just think of the huge number of potential clean energy R&D projects that were not funded due to directing the funds instead to manufacturing facilities that went bankrupted and were liquidated at pennies on the dollar.
Clayton Handleman says:
The DOE invested in them, they went bankrupt and now our friends in Asia have picked them up. One might conculde that the government needs to spend more, not less. The Chinese made a commitment to solar and followed through resulting in their becoming the dominant player in the solar marketplace.
While the technology lives on it appears to be moving to China.

Och-Ziff Capital Management, one of the world's largest hedge fund groups, had about 35 percent of its $20 billion portfolio in cash during the first quarter.
That was a major vote of no confidence in global stock markets, Bloomberg reports.
"The world will not just bounce back to where it was," Daniel Och, the firm's chief executive wrote in a letter to investors.
He was referring to the 34 percent jump for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index since March 9. "We continue to believe that economic recovery will be a long process," he wrote.
Och certainly has played the first four months of the year correctly. OZ Master, Och-Ziff's biggest hedge fund, gained 6.3 percent during that period, after dropping 15.5 percent last year.
Both those numbers are far superior to the S&P 500, which slid 3.4 percent in the first four months of 2009 after plunging 38 percent in 2008.
Something of a war has broken out among hedge fund titans over where stocks are headed from here, Bloomberg points out.
Luminaries such as David Einhorn, John Horseman and Dmitry Balyasny see the equity market falling back.
But big-timers Barton Biggs and Byron Wien take the opposite view.
Biggs wrote in Newsweek: "My prediction is that we'll see a broad trading range somewhere between the March (S&P) lows of 700 and the 2000 and 2007 highs in the area of 1,450 to 1,500 over the next few years."

Top 100 NHL prospects index
Lightning's Drouin No. 1; strong showing by 2014 first-rounders
With the junior evaluation camps in Lake Placid, New York, and Montreal in the rearview mirror, it's time to roll out my initial top 100 drafted prospects rankings for 2014-15.
The 2014 draft class shows very well in these rankings, which is not a huge surprise given the number of new No. 1 prospects around the league.
Changes in my ranking philosophy from previous lists include more emphasis on upside, and a little less on older players who are closer to the NHL and have AHL experience. I also value defensive defenders a little more, thus a player like Scott Harrington makes the list in a significant spot after being previously omitted.
The criteria for a player to be no longer eligible for this list are: more than 25 regular-season games played in any one regular season or 50 career NHL regular-season games. For example, Mikhail Grigorenko is eligible, but Beau Bennett and Brett Connolly are not.
As part of this package, we will also have the organization pipeline ranks, and will have the top 10 prospects by team running next week.
Here are my top 100 NHL prospects for the 2014-15 season in list form:
Top 100 index | No. 1-50 | No. 51-100 | Top 10 goalies
