PAWTUCKET – After a close first half with Division II-North rival Lincoln High on Friday night, Tolman after the break and cruised to a 64-37 win on Senior Night at the Donaldson Gymnasium.
The Tigers held a scant 23-21 lead over the Lions at halftime. Spurred by a strong bench and senior teammates Eli Wiggins and Jeremy Graca, Tolman essentially put the game out of reach by opening the latter half with a dominating 22-6 run.
PAWTUCKET – Tom "Saar" Sorrentine will be the first to inform you that his St. Raphael club has been struggling lately, particularly on the defensive end. His concerns reflect the recent turn of events, as SRA entered Friday's clash with playoff-starved East Providence High in fourth place in the Division I standings after beginning the week in first.

Three of four abortion bills pass in House
BISMARCK -- House lawmakers on Friday defeated one of four measures seeking stricter abortion regulations.
The defeated bill would have defined a human being "as an individual member of the species homo sapiens at every stage of development."
Senate Bill 2303 failed on a 49-43 vote.
The bill also would have prohibited the willful destruction of healthy human embryos.

The Red and Blue CDs in 1993 were very expensive, in some shops £32 each if memory serves.
There was a huge amount of criticism (rightly) in the music press at the time.
I came across my vinyl Anthology yesterday, bought on the eve of its release, and that was £23.99.
My vinyl 'Anthology 2' was £22.99.
$4 seems terrific value, in line with the £2 I paid for 'Past Masters Vol. 1' last Wednesday.
Whisper it, and whatever you do don't tell any of those bearded hipsters in Hoxton, but now is the time to buy CDs NOT vinyl.
I won't tell them if you don't.

Ringo's Photograph book - cheap edition
New edition of Ringo's book, "Photograph".
In PHOTOGRAPH, Ringo Starr reveals never-before-seen photographs and mementos from his archives, sharing memories of his childhood, The Beatles and beyond. Ringo's lens captures his Beatles bandmates in pensive and playful moments, portraying them from the point of view of an insider, friend and skilled photographer.
In an original manuscript of over 15,000 words, join Ringo growing up amidst the excitement of the emerging Merseybeat scene, as he remembers his first car, drum-kits, girls and bands on his 'road of happy drumming'. From Pwllheli to Delhi, obscurity to superstardom, his travels are recounted with honesty and hilarity.
"I love pictures put together, showing different times of your life, "Ringo said about the book, "At the time, I never thought that there would be a whole book of my photographs."
The limited edition from Genesis Publications.
PHOTOGRAPH was originally conceived as a limited edition book of only 2,500 copies, which sold out within weeks. A short edition is also available as an e-book from iTunes.
Two years later, Ringo Starr and Genesis Publications announce the 'Open Edition' - a more accessible and affordable printing of his book to be released in bookstores this September 2015. The author is donating all royalties to the Lotus Foundation.
The book is available for preordering from Amazon.

I think its very (relative to The Beatles, of course) obscurity has helped 'Rain's cause over the years.
I've never understood why a 60s Radio Station isn't available on the radio dial.
The principal reason for my not listening to Capital Gold and the recent shut-down of 'Absolute 60s' (a dire attempt) is that they always insist(ed) on playing, ad nauseam, the 'hits'.
A station that focused on the likes of 'Rain' and delved into the *back catalogues of all the other 60s groups I'm sure would find a healthy audience.
Buffalo Springfield recorded more than one song. TRUE.
Them recorded more than three songs. TRUE.
It's not illegal to play L.P. tracks or songs by obscure groups like The Artwoods. TRUE.

Interested to read drummer tkitna's lukewarm response... is this really Ringo's finest hour at the kit after all?
Not even close. Ringo has a ton of songs that he plays better on in my opinion, but sometimes the state of mind and mood that a persons in, plays a lot into how they feel about certain things. Ringo felt good about this one and whatever it was during the creative process hit the right buttons for him. I look at it by a creative and technical standpoint and to say this was Ringo's greatest effort in the Beatles just doesn't gel with me, even if he said so. Here's my initial review of 'Rain' when I dd the microscopes-
Rain - Rain is a good song. It truly is, but it doesn't blow me away and I think it's a tad overrated. Sue me. Definitely sounds like it could have fit perfectly on Revolver. The guitar tone is great and the bass sounds amazing. Theres that tambourine again. Ringo's drums sound good and we all know the story. He loved his playing on this song and thought it was the best he's ever done. Yes he actually even played it faster while they recorded it and the song was slowed down, but I'm not that impressed. It was one of the first Beatle songs I ever learned and I didn't think it was all that much. Whatever, good job Ritchie. Johns voice sounds fantastic. 0:33 I don't like the background vocals. 0:49 I especially don't like them here. John double tracked I believe. With the guitar strums and the vocals along with the pulsating bass, this section always reminded me of some Scottish tune with bagpipes for some reason. Just me I realize. 2:35 my favorite part with John singing backward vocals. Good song and I wouldn't give anybody grief for loving it.
It really is a good song and I would never fault anybody for liking it, but it just never bowled me over for one reason or another. I see i'm in a real minority on that opinion though. Oh well.

I just ordered Anthology 1 online for $4 with free shipping. I'm not sure if I'll like the CD, but $4 doesn't seem like a big risk. I wonder how much the CD cost new in 1995 when it was released. It was clever of them to put "Real Love" on a separate album for more sales.

It's attained semi mythic status partly due to reasons already pointed out earlier on this thread (no appearance on early compilations or on any original album) and partly as a trailblazer for the "Revolver" sound of jangling guitars and thunderous drums.
The thing which always struck me about it was how LOUD everything was... a richly textured, powerfully mixed track but the vocals are always top of my tick list on listening to any Beatles number, and they're somewhat swamped here by admittedly spectacular layers of terrific instrumentation - again, each Beatle firing on all of their respective cylinders, with overwhelming results.
For years I thought those lyrics ran "That when it rains and shines...it's just coz they don't mind..." and only ages later twigged that Lennon was referring to a "state of mind..."
"Can you heeeaaarrrr me?"
Not too clearly John, no - there's just too much else going on!

Maybe John was watching Singin' in the Rain when he wrote the song...
Yes, and then John listened to "Shape Of Things" on the radio and decided to record the song he wrote in that amorphous way...

The ocean liner is looking to improve its fleet structure after merging with South American carrier CSAV.
More than 40% of retailers and manufacturers plan to shift volume to East Coast ports on a long-term basis as a result of chronic congestion on the West Coast, according to the findings of a new American Shipper research report.
The German ocean carrier said its financial results were impacted by costs from merger with Chilean liner CSAV.
ConAgra and Lululemon said they expect shipment delays for several more months as a result of West Coast port congestion.

"Great place to relax in a stunning setting…"
We were so happy with our stay at this hotel we didn't want to leave!
The hotel was easy to reach from the M6 and absolutely stunning.
We spent the afternoon shopping in Chester, which is a 30 minute drive from the hotel. Manchester is also a short drive away, so there's a good choice of places to visit nearby if you decide to leave Knutsford.
The room itself was very comfortable, with kingsize beds, lovely cosy bedding, huge bath and all the little details like slippers / fluffy dressing gowns, chocolates and tea that you could possibly want.
We had a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant with great service. There was a good choice for food, and they were happy to cater for my allergy to gluten. We've often felt rushed in hotel restaurants in the past, but this was not the case here. There was no pressure to leave the table to make room for the next diners.
After dinner we visited the bar for a cocktail, which was a great way to end the meal in a really quality setting, not your usual hotel bar.
I topped off the weekend with a full body massage which was a perfect pick me up. They tailored the treatment to my needs completely. I was suffering from a terrible cold so they use menthol oils which cleared my head, and finished off the massage with a sorbet and a lie down in the relaxation room. There was also a lovely spa shop selling a good range of products.
The hotel boasts an 18 - hole golf course and shop too, so perfect to keep any golf lovers happy!
This break was perfect for a cosy winter weekend, we loved it and would definitely go back! I would recommend to anyone looking a quiet, romantic weekend, or for families who who need lots to occupy the children during the day, with Chester Zoo and great shopping a short drive away!Read moreLess

Flavor Grenade Pluot
I'm really glad that I planted a Flavor Grenade Pluot. What's not to like about this fruit? Crunchy, juicy, good sweet/tart balance, and holds well on the tree. I'm interested in hearing what folks have to say about this tree. Mine is on Myro 29c, which seems to be doing well with blazing hot western exposure.
mrclint, the Flavor Grenade seems to do very well in our area. I had some at the Vista Farmers Market and was really shocked at first off, how crunchy they were, but not hard, and secondly, how very sweet they were. I will be picking one up and squeezing it in somewhere. Mine weren't really tart at all, but not super ultra sweet. Just right for me. I bought a big bag of them, and I confess, I only let my husband have one. :-) What are you using for a cross pollinator?? Better have one in my line up, as I'm quickly running out of room. I'll have to graft a cross pollinator possibly.
Patty S.
Most delicious fruit in my orchard. Sets lots of fruits. However, in the PNW these pluots do lose alot of foliage to brown rot (or something) every year. So I get more and more blind wood every year. Impossible to prune them down to size and still have any viable wood left. So I let it grow without any pruning. I think they would die completely with a less vigorous rootstock. But if you're going to grow a pluot in the PNW, this is the one. Just remember this ain't pluot country.
I have Burgundy & Beauty Plum, as well as Flavor King and Dapple Dandy Pluots in close proximity for cross pollination. Maybe the sweet/tart/tang that I'm picking up is on fruit not yet fully ripe, and/or because the tree is a bit young. The crunchy juiciness is there in spades and cannot be denied. As much as I love Flavor King, it is really unappealing if picked a bit early. Not so with Flavor Grenade.
Good to know, mrclint. I will have a Dapple Dandy right next to it, and both a Burgundy and a Flavor King down in my pick and walk orchard. I only have room for a few new things this next bare root season, and Flavor Grenade is definitely one of them.
Patty S.
Flavor Grenade grafted branch does not ripen here for another month at least.
I have Dapple Dandy and Flavor Heart and Flavor King trees. They are all tough to crop. Flavor Heart does well after the PC in June. Flavor King has been cracking this year. Dapple Dandy has been rotting. The DD fruits are getting huge I hope enough make it till ripe! As these pluot trees mature in size will enough fruits beat out the PC, birds, rot and cracking, time will tell.
My unsprayed Flavor Grenade pluots are brown rot magnets compared to my other plums, and I end up eating them before disease strikes, but before they're fully ripe, and they're not really so good eating at that stage. This year that was near a month ago.
DWN labeled this as 200-300 chill hours but then on another page, DWN has it at 400-500 chill hours, what's real and what's fake? confusing!
Do you guys find flavor king better than flavor queen? any other variety recommendations other than Flavor Grenade, Dapple Dandy, Beauty?
The lower chill hrs will work in some places. But this isn't exact science, there are too many variables. People expect some exact number that will work everywhere under all conditions and that's not realistic. In many cases they do crop with little chilling.
My favorites are Flavor Supreme, Geo Pride, Flavor King, Flavor Grenade, Honey Punch, Crimson Royale, Flavor Finale, and Flavor Treat. I'm eating Flavor Supreme now and it's exceptional fruit but often needs hand pollination to set and is, I think, higher chilling.
Flavor King is way better than Flavor Queen IMO.
This is probably the only time I disagree with fruitnut because he is always spot on. I like flavor queen a little bit better than flavor king.Taste is a subjective matter but I just love the pure sweetness of flavor queen, it's almost like eating a piece of candy.
My orchard is still young so I haven't got to taste all the retail nursery pluots yet, but I rank them in this order this order:
flavor supreme
flavor grenade
flavor queen
flavor king
dapple dandy
haven't tried yet, but have fruit on the trees this year:
emerald drop
flavor finale
dapple supreme
Golly Steve we'll have to label you the new brix junkie!! Please tell us more about how you are growing these. Aren't you in the Mountains of CO? Not an easy place to grow pluots.
I prefer some flavor with my sugar. Flavor King has way more flavor than Flavor Queen, for my taste buds. What I don't like about Flavor Queen is that it's nothing but sweet. We do agree on Flavor Supreme though. It's got tons of flavor along with very sweet. My buddy likes Flavor Queen and we usually agree so it takes all kinds to make everyone happy.
Here's a picture of Honey Punch taken today. It's about as sweet as any pluot even Flavor Queen.
Then there is Crimson Royale. It looks a lot like Flavor Grenade but tastes way different. You can really taste the apricot. Most of the others just taste like plums, only sweeter and better, to me.
Here's my newly planted Dapple Supreme with two fruit. It's dropping a few leaves from water stress but will be OK I think. It's covered with fruit buds for next year.
No, not CO. I live in the foothills about 100mi north of Sacramento. Fruit trees are really easy to grow here otherwise I probably wouldn't do it. I agree that flavor king has more flavor than flavor queen, FQ is just pure sweetness.
I just ate my last flavor supreme yesterday, they ripened up a couple weeks early this year. I'm bummed that I have to wait a year to eat more of them. In a normal year here they'd just be getting ripe now.
I'd love to get a hold of a few of those commercial varieties but just can't justify buying a bundle of 10 or 20 whatever their requirement is.

Top 100 BYU commit Nick Emery to begin 2-year mission
Mar 27, 2013, 3:50 PM EDT
BYU coach Dave Rose was set to bring in a recruiting class of five players for the 2013-14, headlined by sharpshooting guard Nick Emery. But Emery's career will be put on hold, the Associated Press is reporting, as he prepares to begin a two-year Mormon mission to Germany.
Emery is a 6-2, 180-pound guard who is considered a Top 50 player in the country and has drawn comparisons to former BYU star Jimmer Fredette, if only because of their shared school and affinity for long-range shots. He and 6-9, 220-pound high school teammate Eric Mika, another Top 50 recruit, were to make a strong inside-outside combination for Rose's squad.
Mika has chosen to attend BYU for one season before leaving for his two-year mission.
(CLICK HERE to read NBCSports.com's story on Emery)
Emery's decision comes not long after the Church of Latter Day Saints lowered the minimum mission age for males from 19 to 18. As opposed to what other Mormon college athletes have done in the past, he does not have to play or redshirt one year in college before going on the mission, then return to finish his eligibility in college.
"Two years is a long time to mature and really figure out who I am," Emery told the Associated Press. "This is a big bonus. You can go straight out and get those two years done and then you have four straight years in college."
Once he suits up for the Cougars, BYU will have a lefty gunner who can take over a game with his perimeter shooting. He will need to continue to develop his other point guard skills, but his ability to score should never be a question at the college level.

Wayman Tisdale
It's almost guaranteed when you pursue a career in sports that you better have a backup plan in mind. For six-foot-nine former NBA power forward Wayman Tisdale, his plan B was a music career, and it's gaining him just as much acclaim now as he garnered on the basketball court. After averaging roughly 15 points per game over 12 seasons in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns, Tisdale retired to focus on music full-time. He's released seven jazz-tinged albums since he hung up his sneakers and is coming to town this week to play a few ditties for the Dave Koz and Friends 10th Annual Christmas Tour. Those in attendance can expect to hear songs off his latest release, Way Up!, which boasts collaborations from Koz, Eric Benet, Jonathan Butler, Kirk Whalum, and several other smooth-jazz luminaries. It's a good disc, and the skills Tisdale displays on his beloved bass guitar explain why he was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. It may not be as notable an accolade as winning an Olympic gold medal in 1984 with the U.S. men's basketball team alongside Michael Jordon and "Sleepy" Sam Perkins, but, hey, Tisdale sure is cashing in on plan B.

Biodiesel: The Future of the Renewable Fuel Industry
Biodiesel, an engine fuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels such as diesel, which is a nonrenewable resource, and toxic in terms of pollution emissions during combustion. Biodiesel is non-toxic and renewable, and can be used in diesel engines with little or no modification. Biodiesel can be used in pure form (denoted by B100), but it is usually blended with standard diesel fuel, as 100% biodiesel fuel is more expensive than simple diesel fuel. Hence, a blended version is preferred over a pure form.
Biodiesel blending depends on each country's minimum requirement for blending of ethanol and biodiesel. The biofuel blending mandate is an important growth driver for biofuel producers. The U.S. is among the biggest markets for biodiesel due to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, blending requirement under the Renewable Fuel Standard, or RFS. Additionally, government support for biodiesel producers and blenders through tax incentives and Renewable Identification Number, or RIN, credits makes the U.S. market lucrative for these producers.
Renewable Energy Group (REGI) is the biggest producer and marketer of domestic biodiesel in the U.S. with 257 million gallons of owned/operated annual production capacity at eight active biodiesel plants. Another major biodiesel producer is FutureFuel (FF), which has a production capacity of 59 million gallons of biodiesel per year. Biodiesel products are the biggest revenue-generating segment for each company, and therefore any statutory changes in the biodiesel blending requirement can affect the top line.
Other than these domestic producers, some biodiesel producers in Canada have also benefited from the RFS mandate. Below, is the list of major biodiesel producers with manufacturing base in Canada that export biodiesel.
Canadian biodiesel producers
44.9 mgy
17.7 mgy
Methes Energies (MEIL)
14.3 mgy
All three companies have registered their respective biodiesel products with EPA for importing in the U.S. Unlike the other two Canadian producers, Methes Energies also provides biodiesel technology to its clients. The company is doubling its capacity and should surpass BIOX's installed capacity next year.
RFS mandate: An important growth driver
To increase the amount of biodiesel, the government enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and revised it in 2007. Every year, EPA issues the RFS mandate, which requires the blending of biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel in gasoline and petroleum. RFS is the minimum amount of biofuel to be produced for blending with the conventional nonrenewable fuel. For 2013, EPA has set a RFS mandate for biodiesel at 1.28 billion gallons to be blended in overall transportation non-renewable fuel, thus denoting 1.12% of renewable volume obligation, or RVO. This obligation is calculated by dividing the RFS target by the total estimated supply of non-renewable diesel each year. This percentage denotes the blend wall with which blenders must comply.
Since the establishment of RFS, U.S. biodiesel production has increased at a healthy rate with the total production increasing to 1.1 billion gallons in 2012 from 112 million in 2005. The increase in total biodiesel production can be attributed to the rise in production of domestic players due to increased capacity. In addition, import of biodiesel in the U.S. has added to the overall supply in the country. Methes Energies International, (incorporated in the U.S.) through its wholly owned subsidiary Methes Energies Canada, manages two facilities in Canada. The first facility in Mississauga, Ontario, has a total capacity of 1.3 million gallons per year, or mgy, while its latest facility in Sombra, Ontario, has a production capacity of 13 mgy of biodiesel. Both facilities are registered with EPA for import. Therefore, the company markets its biodiesel produced in Canada and sells to its clients in the U.S. Registration with EPA has been an important demand driver for Methes Energies, especially for its Sombra facility, which had the highest production in November. Production at its new Sombra Facility in the fourth quarter (September, October, November) of 2013 was higher than the overall biodiesel production in the previous fiscal year.
Methes Energies operates in an environment where domestic producers have a strong presence in the country. However, Methes Energies has a significant presence in Chicago because of the city's proximity to Methes Energies' production facility in Canada, making it easy for the company to ship biodiesel there. Unlike Renewable Energy Group, Methes Energies sells to a limited customer base (mostly in Chicago), so there is no direct competition from Renewable Energy Group, which has an extensive presence all over the country. Renewable Energy Group has two facilities in Illinois: one in Danville, with a capacity of 45 mgy, and one in Seneca, with a capacity of 60 mgy. Despite having facilities close to Chicago, the American company is unlikely to become a real threat to Methes Energies in the short term because of the latter's strong client relationships.
Renewable Energy Group has eight active biodiesel facilities with production capacity of 257 mgy in the US. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the company sold 186 million gallons of biodiesel, reaching close to the 188 million gallons achieved in fiscal year 2012. Renewable Energy Group is the beneficiary of RIN and generates 1.5 RIN units for each gallon of biodiesel produced. The company sold biodiesel in 43 U.S. states and in Canada in fiscal year 2012.
FutureFuel also benefited from the rise in biodiesel demand in the U.S. The company has a current annual capacity in excess of 50 million gallons of biodiesel per year. Unlike Renewable Energy Group, FutureFuel also produces chemical products for markets such as agrochemical, automotive, photographic imaging, coatings, nutrition, and polymer additives.
All three companies have benefited from the growth in demand for biodiesel in the U.S. due to the RFS mandate. Since the establishment of RFS, all three have gradually increased their capacity to increase the supply of biodiesel in the U.S.
Government incentives for promoting biodiesel production
There are three companies mainly involved in the biodiesel market: the biodiesel producer, biodiesel blender, and retail seller of blended biodiesel. Usually, biodiesel producing and blending are handled by the same company. Biodiesel is more expensive than non-renewable fuel. To support biodiesel producers, the U.S. government launched initiatives, including tax credits and the RIN facility.
- Tax Credit: The tax credit is a refundable credit given to a biodiesel producer/blender up to $1 for every gallon of biodiesel or renewable diesel that is blended with conventional diesel.
- RIN credit: EPA records the RFS compliance with the generation of RIN for each gallon of renewable fuel, such as biodiesel, generated or imported in the country. The RIN is used for compliance purposes to record the required production and blending requirement of biodiesel. In addition, excess RINs generated in the previous year can be carried forward to the next year for meeting the compliance target.
During the time of blending, the RIN gets separated from the renewable fuel, and these RINs can be sold at current RIN prices. This provides extra economic incentives to biodiesel blenders, above the tax credit discussed earlier. Thus, RIN prices provide a cushion to blenders and help them remain profitable. A positive RIN price means that the market price of the biofuel (net of any applicable tax credits) is greater than the price of the conventional non-renewable fuel it is blended into. Therefore, RIN prices cover up the potential loss of selling biofuel such as biodiesel. This is further explained in the example below:
Source: farmdocdaily.illinois.edu
In the above diagram, Pbd is the price of biodiesel, while Pulsd is the price of diesel. Q1 refers to the quantity supplied without tax credit, while Q2 refers to the quantity with tax credit. The difference in the Pbd and Pulsd is first reduced by applying the tax credit of $1 per gallon, thus bringing the prices closer and increasing the quantity supplied from Q1 to Q2, as more blenders will be encouraged to blend biodiesel due to this tax credit.
Despite the tax credit, blending biodiesel remains unprofitable, so to further assist, RIN prices fill the remaining price gap at the RFS mandate quantity. The move from Q1 to Q2 will reduce the RIN price because of the reduction of price difference from the tax credit benefit.
The RIN price is an important benchmark for biofuel blending, as higher prices positively affect the profitability of the biofuel-producing company.
Growth of domestic biodiesel producers
Renewable Energy Group has a nationwide distribution system and each facility is equipped with an on-site rail-loading system, a truck-loading system, or both, providing good reach and a timely supply of biodiesel. In addition, the company also has a lease agreement with petroleum fuel terminals. Through this lease arrangement, Renewable Energy Group leases its biodiesel storage tanks to fuel distributors and customers for biodiesel blending.
On November 26, Renewable Energy Group entered into an agreement with Dutch Hill Terminals to market biodiesel and biodiesel blended heating oil in New Jersey. This is the company's sixth distribution point in the Northeast. This terminal will provide additional capacity to meet the demand from the region. The choice of New Jersey as the location was influenced by the expected rise in demand for biodiesel in this state due to upcoming legislation, which sets a 3% biodiesel mandate for heating oil. It will increase the B3 biodiesel blend (containing 3% of biodiesel) to five percent of biodiesel blend, i.e. B5 biodiesel, in the future.
Demand for biodiesel in the Northeast has been good this year. In June 2013, New York (where Renewable Energy Group also has terminals) implemented B2 legislation requiring a 2% biodiesel blend in heating oil over two years by 2015. Renewable Energy Group's sales performance is strong, with 2013 volume sales set to surpass 2012 figures. During the third quarter, the company sold 78 million gallons of biodiesel, an increase of 26% year over year.
FutureFuel, meanwhile, is strengthening its biofuel products, with segment revenue increasing 61% year over year in the third quarter of 2013. The biofuel segment now contributes 64% of its total revenue, up from 54% in the third quarter of 2012. Strong growth in biodiesel is due to the RFS mandate in the U.S. and led to the segment's strong revenue growth.
This robust revenue growth from biodiesel sales resulted in better earnings. Unlike Renewable Energy Group, FutureFuel provides good shareholder returns through dividends. Recently, the company declared a special dividend of $0.25 per share paid on December 16, 2013. This is above the normal quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share announced previously; the quarterly dividend now stands at $0.36 per share.
The company believes it will sustain its growth, thus it has increased 2014's normal quarterly dividend to $0.12 per share to be paid in March, June, September, and December. The company has been successfully deploying its cash by returning it to shareholders or pursuing acquisition.
How Methes Energies is different from Renewable Energy Group or FutureFuel
Methes Energies may be small compared to Renewable Energy Group in installed capacity or sales of biodiesel, but unlike other players, Methes provides biodiesel technology in addition to producing biodiesel. Methes Energies offers a wide range of products in biodiesel, including biodiesel equipment, feedstock to biodiesel producers, and biodiesel itself. Although most of the revenue is derived from selling biodiesel, having multiple revenue streams is expected to help grow the company's top line even with any future risk related to biodiesel.
Methes Energies' equipment offerings include two fully automated biodiesel processors, i.e. Denami 600 and Denami 3000. The company targets small to mid-sized plants, with Denami 600 providing 1.3-mgy capacity and the Denami 3000 providing 6.5-mgy capacity. The company also provides support facilities to its equipment buyers, including maintenance and a lifetime warranty on the equipment, in exchange for a royalty fee based on the client's biodiesel production. In addition, the company has growing interest from Ethanol producers for using Denami processors to convert corn oil (extracted during ethanol production from corn) into biodiesel. This will bring additional income to ethanol producers and increase the demand for Methes Energies' equipment.
Another important difference between Methes Energies and Renewable Energy Group or FutureFuel is that Methes Energies isn't directly related to the RIN credit. It produces biodiesel in Canada and sells it to U.S. distributors, which ultimately benefit from the RIN either by selling it or using it for compliance.
In 2014, Methes Energies plans to import biodiesel through its subsidiary Methes USA (incorporated in 2007). This will remove the tag of Methes Energies' marketing biodiesel produced outside the U.S. and make the company eligible for the generation of RIN for each gallon imported and sold. Methes Energies' competitors, Renewable Energy Group and FutureFuel, generate RIN technologies for producing each gallon of biodiesel. They transact these to meet compliance requirements, and after providing blended diesel, they can sell the RIN in the market at RIN prices.

Expansion plans of Biodiesel producers
Renewable Energy Group has the biggest installed capacity of any player in the biodiesel industry. In addition to its eight fully operational plants, the company has four partially constructed facilities. Once completed, these four facilities will add 150 mgy of biodiesel to its overall capacity.
Methes Energies
Renewable Energy Group
Annual Capacity installed
14.3 mgy
257 mgy
50 mgy
Expansion plan
To add additional 13 mgy by 2014
Has several under constructed plants
No expansion plan other than improvement in the current facility
Methes Energies, meanwhile, plans to double its Sombra, Ontario plant capacity, adding 13 mgy. The plant currently has two Denami 3000 units installed (completed by the end of 2012); to double this capacity, it had to install two additional Denami 3000s. Instead of installing the new machines, however, the company continued with two existing machines, and it made operational modifications (such as increasing the flow of throughput by changing pipe settings) instead. This decision will result in significant cost-savings, as there won't be any need to install two additional processors.
With a Greenfield approach - building a plant from scratch -- setting up a 13-mgy biodiesel facility will cost $15 million to $25 million, including all infrastructure. Although this isn't a Greenfield project, as the plant is already installed, the savings are still expected to be $4 million. This is important financially, as the company won't add much burden to its income statement and will add revenue from the increased capacity.
The company recently sold 1.1 million units, containing one share of common stock and one warrant, to institutional and accredited investors. This has helped the company pocket approximately $1.7 million. This private placement will help fund the expansion at the Sombra facility while maintaining financial strength in the coming quarters.
Methes Energies is currently operating at a loss due to higher expenses:
Fiscal Year 2012
Fiscal Year 2011
$6.56 million
$11.79 million
Selling, General and Administration
$4.27 million
$2.44 million
Net Loss
$3.97 million
$0.81 million
Previously, the company was inclined towards re-selling biodiesel (purchasing from other producers and selling it in the market) because of its low installed capacity. With the completion of the Sombra facility, Methes Energies' share of internal production has gradually increased. This resulted in a rise of SG&A expenses due to the increased salary payouts from hiring of new employees to support the internal production.
These SG&A expenses are expected to remain constant for the next year, as the company isn't adding any new machines. Instead, it will reduce the per unit cost on account of economies of scale. The company currently has 33 employees, and this expansion won't require hiring additional staff.
What is the potential of the Sombra facility?
Looking at the expansion, the total capacity will increase to 26 mgy, and at an average price of $4 per gallon the revenue opportunity stands at around $104 million. This is 16 times more than fiscal year 2012 revenue. As stated, there won't be much change to its SG&A expenses. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the gross profit margin was 9.1%. Assuming that this remains the same for the next fiscal year, with the same SG&A expenses the company is expected to become profitable.
In addition, Methes Energies has a strong pipeline in many countries. Although the company's operation is limited to U.S. and Canada, it plans to expand into Europe and other markets. International expansion has been slow for Methes Energies, but the company has been establishing itself in foreign markets primarily for its equipment. These projects will lay the foundation for the company and help it establish its international presence.

In May, BioFuel Aruba signed an agreement with Methes Energies to purchase one Denami 600 biodiesel processor. BioFuel is the only biodiesel producer in Aruba and wants to expand its production from the third quarter of 2013. BioFuel has project agreements with Aruba Airports and public transport companies to blend biodiesel for their fleets. This agreement is expected to fetch around $1 million based on the price of the Denami 600 hardware.
Diversification initiatives of biodiesel producers
To reduce dependence on biodiesel, producers such as Methes Energies and Renewable Energy Group are diversifying their product line and manufacturing other renewable fuels.
Methes Energies recently announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire assets of OTC Energy Technologies. Methes Energies will gain access to all of OTC's technology, including the process to convert several types of biomass to syngas. Syngas, derived from synthetic gas, is a mixture of hydrogen and monoxide and can be converted to ethanol, methanol, and hydrocarbons such as jet fuels and gasoline. OTC will enhance Methes Energies' technology for the conversion of biomass. Conversion of biomass into fuels such as ethanol or jet fuel is a much bigger market than biodiesel. OTC's conversion technology is proven to produce quality syngas. Currently, the biomass conversion industry faces the issue of production of quality syngas, as current technology produces many byproducts during conversion, resulting in a lower yield. However, OTC's technology produces no byproducts, providing a better yield of conversion of biomass into renewable fuels.
In addition, Methes Energies can tap OTC's clients, which require small to medium processors. This is a big opportunity for the company to boost its top line and increase market share in the overall renewable fuel market. It is estimated that OTC Technologies has a strong base of seven or eight big customers. This is just the beginning; as application of this technology increases, this list is expected to expand. It will also solve Methes Energies' current issue, as it is highly dependent on just a few customers, but this acquisition will expand its overall base and open up many new opportunities.
Renewable Energy Group has also made an important bid towards bio-synfining by signing an asset purchase agreement with Syntroleum. This is an all-stock transaction to acquire all Syntroleum's assets, with expected closure of the transaction by the first quarter of 2014. Syntroleum specializes in Fischer-Tropsch, or FT, technology that converts syngas into FT wax and hydroprocessing technology that converts FT wax or fats oils and greases into naphtha, diesel. Syntroleum also has a 50% equity alliance in Dynamic Fuels, which operates a 75-million-gallon renewable diesel-producing facility. It uses Syntroleum's bio-synfining technology to convert feedstock produced during FT process to renewable diesel products. This is similar to OTC Technologies' conversion of biomass into renewable fuels. It is a win-win for both companies, as Renewable Energy Group's strong distribution and channel partner network will boost Syntroleum's business while expanding Renewable Energy Group's product offerings.
EPA's RFS mandate for 2014
In its new draft for 2014, EPA kept the 2013 RFS target of 1.28 billion gallons of biodiesel. Unlike the industry expectation of proportionate increase in this limit, EPA froze the biodiesel RFS limit for next year. Other biofuels such as renewable fuel or ethanol and cellulosic biofuel have also been hit with RFS target for 2014 that is significantly lower than the Clean Air Act target. This law was originally passed to reduce the import of oil and emission of greenhouse gases by blending biodiesel. The fall in the demand of gasoline has resulted in a reduction in the RFS target of biofuels below the original target passed in the Clean Air Act.
Though it is just a mandate or minimum requirement for the blending of biodiesel with conventional diesel, this may affect the industry as a whole. The estimated production of biodiesel is pegged at an excess of 1.7 billion gallons in 2013. Once the mandate of 1.28 billion gallons is reached, the blender can continue to blend biodiesel, and RIN generated from that can be carried forward for complying next year. However, keeping the limit stagnant at 1.28 billion gallons may hamper the overall industry expansion. This draft is still pending approval, and it is open for public comment until the end of January.
Methes Energy is positioned to post record top-line growth next fiscal year. As per the company's projection, it believes its total revenue will increase to $55 million next year. This was based on its November presentation, before the OTC Technologies acquisition, so these estimates will likely change, and the actual figure will be much bigger as sales from the newly acquired technology will bring additional revenue to the company: for example, the ethanol market is much larger than that for biodiesel. The ethanol blending wall is close to 10% in gasoline, compared to biodiesel's blending requirement of 1%-2%.
Source: Methes Energies' presentation as on Nov 1, 2013
Currently, Methes Energies looks unattractive from the investment metric, but as the company increases its capacity and boosts its top line, these factors will change. Therefore, it is a good investment opportunity, and looking at its growth initiatives, Methes Energies could generate good returns for shareholders next year.
In respect to other players, Renewable Energy Group, a giant in the biodiesel industry, will benefit the most if the RFS mandate is raised for 2014. The company has a strong distribution network and strong client base for its strong top-line growth. However, it faces headwinds if the current RFS mandate is approved and if its current expansion plans are affected. Another caveat is its high dependence on biodiesel for revenue. Despite the headwinds, Renewable Energy Group's strong foothold in the biodiesel market will help it sustain revenue growth for next year, regardless of the current EPA hearing.
As for FutureFuel, the impact of the RFS 2014 mandate will be offset by its product diversification. The company has a history of good shareholder returns with dividends; therefore, FutureFuel should be a safe investment.

iPod Ranked Number One
In a report by The Mac Observer, the iPod is ranked number one in dollar market share for MP3 Players. "Apple's dollar market share reached 27 percent compared with 10 percent for second-ranked SONICBlue and its Rio players , according to market research firm NPDTechworld."
"Making the market share numbers even more interesting is that they are based only on sales made by third-party retailers such as Best Buy and Target, and do not include iPods sold direct by Apple through its retail stores or online. Market share and unit share numbers of Apple's competitors also do not include direct sales figures."
