Spanish translator and localizer
Spain - Tests: 8
I'm an experienced Spanish translator and localizer. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Translation and Interpreting and a Master Degree in Translation and new technologies. I have also taken one course in videogame localization and some other courses in audiovisual translation. Aside from my studies, I have worked for 2 years in the Vendor Management department in an International Language Service Provider, so I have an excellent insight about the different aspects of the localization process, from the quote stage to the QA and the final delivery. I know the importance of meeting all the deadlines and having a good and fluent communication with clients. I am used to working with tight deadlines and heavy workloads and I always maintain a positive attitude when solving the problems that we have to face on a daily basis. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Analysts: Injunction blocking Windows XP unlikely
SEATTLE (Reuters) Microsoft's critics want the courts
to block the company's upcoming Windows XP operating system because of competitive
concerns, but political and legal issues make such a move unlikely, analysts
Last month, Microsoft's opponents stepped up their pressure
on the software giant, with Sen. Charles Schumer of New York saying the company
should make Windows XP the biggest update to the flagship operating system
in six years more open to rival software applications.
Also, New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer was said
to be looking closely at the possibility of seeking a court order to block shipment
of Windows XP, which is scheduled to launch on October 25.
New York is home to Internet and media giant AOL Time Warner,
which is duking it out with Microsoft over Internet access and instant messaging,
and to photography titan Eastman Kodak, which has complained that Windows XP
favors Microsoft's digital picture application.
Some Microsoft opponents say Windows XP should be stopped,
arguing that by including new applications like instant messaging and a digital
media player, the company is continuing to use the same tactics that sparked
an antitrust suit against it by the U.S. Justice Department and 18 states.
That case centers around how Microsoft bundled its Internet
Explorer Web browser into Windows 95 as it battled upstart Netscape for supremacy
in the market for software that lets people easily browse the Internet.
A U.S. appeals court ruled in June that Microsoft tried
to illegally maintain an operating system monopoly by tying the browser to Windows.
But it rejected claims that the simple act of tying software
to Windows was illegal, and ordered a lower court to examine the issue using
the more complicated standard of whether the benefits of tying outweighed harm
to rivals.
So some have said sales of Windows XP should be stopped
until the tying issue has been resolved.
"There exists a worry that AOL (or the states on their
behalf) will ask for an injunction of Win XP," Lehman Brothers analyst Michael
Stanek wrote in a research note last week.
Legal, political issues
But such an attempt to delay the launch of Windows XP is
unlikely to succeed, analysts said.
First, there are legal grounds that set a high bar for
such a measure.
Second, there are political reasons that boil down to the
fact that for every opponent trying to trip Microsoft up, there is an ally throwing
its weight behind the company.
In a report issued Monday, Brendan Barnicle, a former lawyer
who is now an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, said any injunction against
Windows XP would require showing that the product would inflict irreparable
damage on competitors.
"It is highly unlikely for a couple of different reasons,"
Barnicle told Reuters. "The standard for giving an injunction is very difficult.
The courts are loathe to give injunctions and instead favor monetary damages."
Moreover, while the browser was once viewed as a possible
alternative to the Windows operating system, the new products aren't seen threatening
Windows, just Microsoft's ability to be a high-profile player in the next era
of Internet services.
"In the end we believe the attempts by the states to enjoin
Windows XP will fail, as these injunctions are rarely ever granted. Their contentions
are not at the heart of the case," Stanek said.
Lifeline to industry
The court would also have to weigh what impact halting
Windows XP in its tracks would have on Microsoft and the public, Barnicle said.
With the tech industry in a worsening slump, heavyweights
like microprocessor maker Intel, PC giant Compaq Computer and electronics retailer
Best Buy are counting on Windows XP to help revive sluggish sales.
Those companies also boast political muscle that could
counter complaints from politicians like Schumer.
"There are other members of Congress who have other constituencies,
and the constituencies in favor of getting XP out on time far outweigh those
opposed," Barnicle said.
"They really want to see the new product come out to really
spur PC sales," Barnicle said.
Microsoft rivals may be using the threat of an injunction,
however slim, as a bargaining chip in ongoing settlement talks, said Chris Le
Tocq, an analyst with Guernsey Research.
"The threat of asking strengthens the asker's hand when
negotiating with Microsoft. Some of this is background to current negotiations
over XP," Le Tocq said.
Microsoft has defended Windows XP, saying it marks a huge
leap over its earlier products.
"What we've heard from our partners and the beta testers
has been nothing but positive feedback. The industry as a whole is extremely
excited because they think it is the most reliable and best version of Windows,"
spokesman Jim Cullinan said.
Shares in Microsoft fell 76 cents, or 1.14% to $66.13 in
Nasdaq trading on Monday. Despite the legal worries and the gloomy business
climate, Microsoft stock has risen about 65% this year.

Hayden Panettiere's Real-Life Scariest Moment: 'They Almost Shot Me'
By Drew Mackie
With "Scream 4" hitting theaters today, audiences will see Hayden Panettiere on the big screen contending with all that trademark "Scream" scary stuff: knives, threatening phone calls and creepy masks. But they might not realize that Panettiere, in filming the movie, was drawing on a real-life moment of terror.
"Scream 4" introduces a new set of potential victims -- and potential killers -- to the franchise. Included among these cast members is Hayden Panettiere, who plays Kirby, the smart-mouthed, pop culture-savvy best friend of protagonist Jill (Emma Roberts). Panettiere, who gained some serious geek credit with four seasons on "Heroes," admitted that starring in a sequel to a series she grew up loving seems surreal. "I was a huge fan of the franchise," she said. "Shouldn't I just be watching this movie? I could never imagine myself on screen with Neve Campbell."
RELATED: See Hayden on the receiving end of some serious puppy love
Speaking to reporters about her experiences filming "Scream 4," Panettiere explained that she was able to relate to the feeling of being alone and scared in a dark house as a result of a real-life incident. "I actually had an experience where I thought someone was breaking into my house," she said. "And that has got to be the most terrified I have ever been in my life."
Panettiere continued: "The fear [was intense], especially as a female in a house by yourself. There happened to be a blackout in the area I was living in, so my alarm was going off and going off and nobody was coming. You go into this survival instinct -- what a person would do when they feel like their life is in jeopardy … I don't know how I managed to do this, but I found myself in my bathroom with my TASER -- I do have a TASER -- and my panic button. It's the most terrifying experience I've had in my life. That desperation. That not knowing who's going to come or what's going to happen or what you're going to do."
RELATED: See Hayden at the 'Scream 4' premiere
And then she reached the thrilling conclusion: "What really happened was that I thought someone was breaking in, and I may have overreacted a little bit in the beginning. I grabbed my TASER and my phone and wound up crawling out my window to find five or six guns with the laser beams pointed at me. And I was running with my TASER and shouting, "Don't shoot me! Don't shoot me! It's my house!" So [the police] did eventually come, but they almost shot me. I'm not joking!"
And Panettiere also wasn't joking when she said "Scream 4" would really deliver the scares. Having had a taste of real-life fright, shouldn't she know?

5 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Brother Industries (Bridgewater, NJ) in July 2015.
Long! Took over three months! Had three phone interviews and two face to face interviews along with writing business proposal. Was told I was one of two Final candidates for the position. After submitting proposal, never heard from them. Followed up and was told there was no interest and that they were still interviewing other candidates. Felt like they were "collecting proposals" to use but not hire anyone. Very disappointed in the whole process and would not apply with Brother International again.
Interview Questions
- Asked for business proposal because it was down to 2 candidates. Never heard from them again. Followed up and told neither was accepted and they would look for more candidates. 1 Answer
Helpful (2)No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Brother Industries (Bridgewater, NJ) in August 2014.
I went through at least 4 phone interviews, which were very basic and getting to know one and other but were completely unnecessary considering they were 30 minutes each. The phone interviews that took almost 2 months because they were constantly changing the date and time. After completing the 4 interviews you go in and have to make a presentation on any brother product. This was harder than you think considering how much could you say about a printer without being repetitive and boring. After the presentation you go and meat the VP of sales and if all goes well they offer you the job. They also claim its a sales position yet youre actually a field merchandiser for at least a year. This is basically doing tradeshows and presenting the product. You also get no commision. It is 35k salary with driving up to 100 miles a day. In my opinion it would save everyone in the process time and money if there were not as many phone interviews. One or two phone interviews is enough before having to go in for a face to face.
Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Brother Industries (Bridgewater, NJ) in September 2012.
I was first given a three-part copywriting test. I was asked to edit a poorly written release, and write marketing material based on given specifications. I passed these tests and then was invited to interview with a marketing executive, followed by an interview with the HR manager. I thought the interview with the executive went very well, and was then introduced to the rest of the marcomm team before being handed over to the HR manager.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Brother Industries (Bridgewater, NJ) in March 2012.
I was recruited by an Independent Contractor across the country. I dealt exclusively with him for over a month. i eventually had a face to face interview with my future boss that was easy. After this, more dealings with the Independent Contractor. Eventually, I was flown out to Corporate in NJ and interviewed with 3 VP's. I received offer through the Independent Contractor. Process lasted about 45 days.

The Boys & Girls Club of South Valley previously operated an after-school program at Oquirrh Hills but with the help of grant money from the United Way of Salt Lake was able to extend that school's regular summer course.
"This is kind of a unique program because this was an integration of two separate programs to make one," Linton said. "It was a total merge. We're able to offer not only the summer school pieces but also the enrichment time."
About 60 students, from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade, participate in the program, which runs Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to noon. On Fridays, students have the option of attending a field trip to places like the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake or the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point.
Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said educators go to great lengths to encourage students to keep reading and learning during the summer months, but most fall out of the everyday learning habits that help them grow.
He said summer programs, while attended by only a handful of a school's total population, provide a benefit to students by offering fun but academically focused activities.
"Every student benefits from continuing to read through the summer and continuing to do activities that help them," he said. "If they've maintained those good habits through the summer, it helps their progress in the fall."
Brenda Hales, deputy state superintendent, compared academic learning to a physical activity like tennis in that without practice, a person will lose or weaken the skills they've developed.
"It's inevitable if students don't practice the skills that they learned during school time, they have a tendency to have some learning loss occur," she said. "Your brain needs exercise just as much as your body."
She said the amount of learning loss that occurs over summer break varies from student to student, but she generally agreed with the two- to three-week window of reteaching suggested by the National Summer Learning Association survey.
Hales suggested that to counteract a summer slide, parents should encourage their children to spend 20 minutes reading every day, as well as roughly 10 to 15 minutes of basic math or writing activities.
"If you keep those three things moving and you keep them fresh, then you're going to do better as a students," she said. "You don't have to spend a lot of time every day but just enough so they're keeping in practice."

Saturday 9th August
Today is Kirsty's Birthday! At breakfast she gets her presents then alas it is time for us to leave Summer Bay. Cameron has done a great job of taking out the recyclables this holiday and today is no exception. Well done him. After checking out we make our way to the Mall at Millenia where the Cheesecake Factory is situated. We have some time to kill so have a wander round the Mall. This is not very exciting for a 12 year old. At last our table is ready and ...
Golf, stone cottages and habours (& a witch)
... The morning rain disappeared and the day was warm and sunny.
Tonight we went out to a local restaurant with David and Diane. Very nice. After tea we drove to Gleneagles golf course (which is just up to road from Diane's house) and hotel for a nose. Impressive. Big ponds with white swans.
We are still trying to sort out our sleep patterns. We wake at 3.30am very wide awake and then struggle later in the ...
Back to the hills and glens a la Robert The Bruce
... the bleeding back or it's not worth having. On this day it's off to Gayfield Park ...
St Andrews vs Oxford (G)
... can't be said of the locals. In too many places, just walking down the street or sitting in a quiet pub, one is violated by the loud braying of a 'upper class' young woman. It is as if she is saying, I am superior to you and therefore what I say must be more important than anything else you may wish to hear. This sense of class and entitlement is, of course, reflected within the colleges of both universities ...
...and home again, across the middle
Woke up in the eerily empty Kilmartin Hotel, and crept downstairs at our appointed time of 8am to find a stranger (apparently the owner, who had had a day off playing golf yesterday) in the dining room offering us breakfast. As we were the only people there, service was a LOT quicker and we soon had a hearty "Full Scottish" (including black pudding, which I really like; last time I tried it, 12 years ago, it was disgusting, all gritty) inside us and could set off ...

Sigh…"chick who does nothing photographed doing nothing"…again.
She sells lingerie. Now that ain't brain surgery or rocket science but it is something that most men can appreciate.
Designing and selling lingerie isn't the hardest thing in the world, but it does require some sort of business acumen. Besides, she also has a makeup line, a clothing line, has a new perfume about to debut, is the face of Cointreau, does burlesque shows, and, even the though it isn't really a job, she does all of her styling herself. She's smart, wears many caps, and isn't in everybody's face about what she does.
Oops, my comment was meant for McFeely Smackup.
She has a team of professionals handling all aspects of her "businesses" that require a brain.
Of course there are other people involved, but she has particular visions and concepts in mind for herself and her various lines and products. She doesn't give control of her image to anyone else – like not having a stylist, for example – and, therefore, has to have a lot to do with what she produces.
For such a creative woman, 100% of her style is best described as "trying hard to look like Bettie Page".
i like her dita von ta tas best
I must say, they do look lovely.
Dita, Dita, touch my petah.
Dita, Dita, Dita Von Teese,
All right, fine. So I ain't no fuckin' poet…

Do You Have a "Gay Best Friend"?
Do You Have a "Gay Best Friend"?
In a piece in Salon today, writer Thomas Rogers has a more critical take on the stereotypical relationship. He writes:
From Sex and the City (Carrie and her queeny sidekick Sanford) to The Real Housewives of Atlanta (NeNe Leakes and her "gay boyfriend"). It's turned what was once a special relationship between two cultural outsiders — gay men and the straight women who love them — into an eye-rolling cliché. It also turned me and other young gay men into something unexpected: a must-have item.
Rogers argues that the so-called gay best friend should just be called "a friend." That works for me. Is there someone in your life you consider to be your gay best friend.

In this issue, we feature…
Acoustic instruments – the guitar and beyond! From a bizarre – and super-rare – 1920s Coulter to Martin's Sigma line, the Regal Tiple, the history-laden oud, Gibson's classic J-35, and 50 modern instruments, no issue of VG has never delved so deep into the topic.
We also talk new music with Neal Schon, Dave Stryker, bassist Tom McGuiness, Dale Watson, Michael Johnny Walker, and Thom Douvan, honor Buddy Emmons, and offer some very non-acoustic reading in a feature on a Dumble OD Special amp. Plus, we take a look (way) back to the American guitar scene as it was in 1915, Will Kelly shows how to make a trapeze tailpiece, Dan Erlewine continues work on a vintage Gibson L-48, and Wolf Marshall studies the style of jazz great Emily Remler. Our music reviewers take a listen to new offerings from the Rolling Stones, Kentucky Headhunters, Yes, Dave Edmunds, Debbie Davies, Doyle Lawson, The Bellfuries, Laura Orshaw, and many other artists, while the gear-review staff grab Martin's OM-28 Authentic 1931, the Vox AC10C1, Airline's Bojotar, Carvin's GH24, the Eastwood La Baye 2×4 Devo Signature, the E.W.S. BMC2, and the Way Huge Saffron Squeeze MkII.
Finally, we're loaded with contests this month, including our $5,000 Super Pickup Giveaway and our VG Readers' Choice Awards Giveaway, with its grand prize being a Magnatone Varsity Reverb amp worth $2,099!

The Regal Tiple
If its diminutive stature reminds you of a ukulele, that's because this peculiar instruments sports more than a little influence from the Hawaiian "jumping flea." By Michael Wright
1986 Dumble Overdrive Special
The amps of Alexander Dumble are legendary in part because many notable makers today are inspired by his designs. It's a rare thing to find an original-owner Dumble, and hear its full back story. By Dave Hunter
The Gibson J-35
A year after introducing its Jumbo model, Gibson offered the 1936 J-35 as a direct (and far cheaper) option for those considering a Martin D-18. Similarly sized and shaped, its budget construction today equates to outstanding tone. By George Gruhn
The Coulter Company
More Rarities from the Pacific Northwest
In the early 20th century, oddball luthier Frank Evans Coulter built one-off guitars, mandos, ukes, and violins in Portland. Today, the instruments are so scarce few guitar enthusiasts have laid eyes on one. By Peter Blecha
Sigma By Martin
Follow the Line
Relegated to a corner of the collectible market, Sigma guitars have recently gained popularity even as data on the brand has mostly been anecdotal and suppositional. Here's the essential information. By Kevin Dunham
The Oud: Ancient to Modern
Known only to the most adventurous musicians, it's an instrument with a deep, mysterious sound and colorful history. Plus, a look inside the oud. By Neil Haverstick

UA Health Sciences Senior Vice President Outlines Major Accomplishments and Future Goals
During his "State of the University of Arizona Health Sciences" address on Tuesday, UA Senior Vice President for Health Sciences Joe G.N. "Skip" Garcia, MD, shared the health sciences accomplishments and outlined the significant progress being made to achieve its short- and long-term goals.
He began by announcing the name change for the Arizona Health Sciences Center, which now will be known as the "University of Arizona Health Sciences." The name change represents a move to clearly identify Arizona's academic health center as an integral part of the UA, one of the nation's premier research universities.
Dr. Garcia cited the many successful collaborations at the UA Health Sciences (UAHS) and the increased centralization and integration of resources across the colleges and centers. He listed centralized budgeting via Responsibility Centered Management implementation, the development of a biobank to support collaborative research, the creation of a research data warehouse to support informatics and the...[read more]
`University of Arizona Health Sciences' is the New Name for the Arizona Health Sciences Center; Clearly Identifies Health Enterprise as Integral Part of UA
The Arizona Health Sciences Center has a new name: the "University of Arizona Health Sciences" – a move to clearly identify Arizona's academic health center as an integral part of the University of Arizona, one of the nation's premier research universities.
"Our goal is to strongly identify our academic health center as a key part of the University of Arizona, which not only benefits the UA and its health sciences enterprise, but also our affiliated centers and units," said Joe G.N. "Skip" Garcia, MD, UA senior vice president for health sciences.
"Communicating our strong connection to the University of Arizona leverages the emotional ties and pride associated with the University. And we know that many individuals, especially those in other states, often were unaware the Arizona Health Sciences Center was part of the University of Arizona. Our new name – the University of Arizona Health Sciences – is much more descriptive and definitive, and simply makes good sense."
The re-naming effort brings the overall UA Health Sciences' name in line with the five UA health colleges. The University of Arizona Health Sciences, the statewide leader in...[read more]

UA Sleep Researcher Authors Section on Sleep Disparities in Congressional Report
Racial and ethnic minorities, especially African Americans, are more likely to sleep six or fewer hours each night and to suffer the adverse health outcomes of insufficient sleep, according to the 2015 Kelly Report on Health Disparities in America, released Friday by the Congressional Black Caucus Health Braintrust.
Among the high-profile contributors to this year's report is Michael Grandner, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and director of the Department of Psychiatry's new Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson.
Dr. Grandner wrote the "Sleep and Health Disparities in the American Population" section of the report, available online at robinkelly.house.gov/cbchealth. The official Congressional analysis of the state of health disparities in the United States offers a blueprint for reversing negative health trends in communities of color.

Community Education Program, "We've Got the Beat: An Update on Atrial Fibrillation" to be held Oct. 17
It's a condition that affects 2 to 3 million people and is related to about one-fifth of all strokes in the United States. The number of people with atrial fibrillation is projected to increase to 12 million by 2050 as the population ages. If you have atrial fibrillation or know someone who does, you're not alone.
"In atrial fibrillation, the heart rate tends to be fast and irregular. While some patients experience no symptoms, many have heart palpitations, a sensation of the heart racing or skipped beats. In addition, the condition carries an increased risk of stroke," said Nancy K. Sweitzer, MD, PhD, director of the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center and chief of cardiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson. "It's no wonder that people want to learn more about this condition. In fact, it represents one of the most visited health topics on the Sarver Heart Center website."

'Exercise Essentials for Healthy Aging' Subject of UA Arthritis Center's Living Healthy With Arthritis Lecture, Oct. 7
"Exercise Essentials for Healthy Aging: An Orthopaedic Surgeon's Inside Look at Being Smart About Staying Active," a free lecture open to the public, will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 7, 6-7:15 p.m., at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson, DuVal Auditorium (Room 2600), 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson. The 75-minute presentation will include time for questions and answers, and light refreshments will be provided.
Movement is medicine—whether you are a walker or a weekend warrior, the importance of staying active remains at the forefront of a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a regular regimen of physical activity can significantly increase your chances of healthy aging, both physically and mentally. Research has shown that regular physical activity, even at a moderate level, remains one of the most important lifestyle factors for maintenance of good health as we age. For those with joint pain, injury or limitations, this may be a tall order.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is an increasing need for more information on helping...[read more]

- With the Nasdaq down 1.3%, solar stocks are adding to the steep Friday losses they saw after OPEC declined to cut production, sparking a huge selloff in oil prices and anything energy/commodity-related. Oil prices have bounced a little today, but WTI crude is still only around $68/barrel.
- Solar bulls have noted oil only accounts for a small percentage of global electricity production, and that solar stocks have already seen plenty of pain this year. The Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN -5.2%) is now down 34% from a March high of $51.07.
- Major decliners: FSLR -6.3%. SPWR -8.4%. SCTY -6%. SUNE -6.4%. SOL -12.8%.JKS -8.1%. CSUN -8.5%. CSIQ -9.3%. DQ -10.3%. VSLR -7.2%. TSL -7.8%. YGE -9.4%. RGSE -7.4%. HSOL -9.5%. TERP -5.8%. JASO -5.2%.

- Ethanol and other biofuel groups are declaring victory, as the EPA today said a decision to finalize blending requirements for 2014 - first proposed more than a year ago - has been delayed.
- The delay gives hope to ethanol producers that the EPA will rethink how it proposes the annual biofuels levels; the draft 2014 biofuels levels were much lower than the ethanol industry wanted.
- Oil company lobbyists opposed to the law say the idea of setting a retroactive quota shows the EPA is incapable of managing the program; the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which represents energy companies, plans to sue the EPA for failing to issue the 2014 requirements.

Nov. 19, 2014, 6:57 PM
- SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) is laying off 85-115 employees (1%-2% of its workforce), mostly in Europe, in a new restructuring. The company expects to take $15M-$25M in charges. (8-K)
- The company delivered below-consensus 2015 guidance at last week's analyst day, albeit while also forecasting it would triple its upstream production capacity over the next five years.
Nov. 17, 2014, 3:50 PM
- Apparently mistaken chatter about Warren Buffett picking up a stake in SunPower (SPWR -0.6%) had the stock quickly jumping from less than $27 to above $28 in a manner of minutes around 3 ET, but the shares have since settled back to $27.40.
Nov. 13, 2014, 9:21 AM
- Ahead of its analyst day talks, SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) is guiding for 2015 revenue of $2.4B-$2.6B and EPS of $1.10-$1.50, below a consensus of $2.8B and $1.69.
- At the same time, the company now expects Q4 revenue of $1.12B-$1.17B and EPS of $1.00-$1.25 (well above a consensus of $605M and $0.23) due to "the benefit of approximately $450 million in revenue and $0.80 - $0.90 in earnings per share related to the real estate accounting treatment of its 579-MW Solar Star projects."
- SunPower expects to recognize revenue on 1.3GW-1.4GW in solar sales next year - its 2014 guidance is at 1.26GW-1.3GW - and to triple its upstream (cell/module production) solar capacity over the next five years. The 2015 capex budget is at $300M-$350M.
- The company's YieldCo plans remain "under review."
- Analyst day talks start at 10AM ET (webcast).

- Newly-public Vivint Solar (VSLR -21.6%) has nosedived after missing Q3 EPS estimates and guiding for Q4 revenue of $5.5M-$6.5M, below a $7.3M consensus. Installations are expected to fall to 45MW-47MW from Q3's 49MW.
- Rivals SolarCity (SCTY -3%) and SunPower (SPWR -3.2%) are following Vivint lower, as are several other solar names. RGSE -6.2%. ENPH -5.7%. CSIQ -2.5%. JKS -2.2%. DQ -4.1%. CSUN -2.7%.
- Solar ETFs: KWT, TAN
Nov. 10, 2014, 10:08 AM
- SunPower (SPWR +0.7%) plans to use SolarBridge's microinverters, which convert the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power, in tandem with its high-efficiency panels. Deal terms are undisclosed.
- Whereas traditional string inverters convert the power generated by a group of solar panels (often 10 or more), microinverters convert power for individual panels. The former solution is cheaper, while the latter is more reliable, enables quicker expansion, and makes it easier for individual panels to be performance-optimized.
- Enphase (ENPH -0.7%) currently has a dominant position in the U.S. microinverter market.
Nov. 7, 2014, 10:54 AM
- First Solar (FSLR -10.3%) has dived towards $50 after missing Q3 estimates (if one excludes a $0.26/share one-time tax benefit) and lowering its full-year revenue guidance. Also not helping: First Solar disclosed on its CC (transcript) it's not pursuing a solar project YieldCo at this time.
- Nonetheless, the company does think "the ownership and operation of whole or partial interest in select solar-generating assets does have a role as a component part of [First Solar's] overall business model," and says it "likely will begin providing greater visibility into our retained ownership interest by reporting it as a separate segment commencing in 2015."
- When asked by a Baird analyst about the YieldCo decision, CEO Jim Hughes admitted First Solar has "a note of caution about the overall market position as we exit 2016 and move into 2017." Several other analysts also pressed the company about the various factors (growth expectations, cost of capital, taxes, etc.) that went into its YieldCo decision.
- UBS (Neutral) has lowered its 2015 EPS estimate by $0.35 to $5.00, citing opex growth and the potential for First Solar to retain equity interests in projects (rather than fully selling them). "We believe the market for solar assets has become more competitive and that the arb opportunity has tightened."
- Needham (Buy) admits First Solar's approach to monetizing solar projects gives it more flexibility, but it also thinks "a yieldco would ultimately create more shareholder value." It's still a fan of the company's execution, and also likes its plans to increase module manufacturing capacity by up to 46% next year.
- SunPower (SPWR -1.7%), which will share details about its asset monetization plans at its Nov. 13 analyst day, is also lower.
Nov. 4, 2014, 3:49 PM
- SunPower's (SPWR -2.8%) plant will be based in Cape Town, and is expected to create up to 150 local jobs. Recruitment efforts for the plant start in Q1 2015.
- For reference, SunPower has produced over 1.2GW of solar cells over the last four quarters. It currently has manufacturing plants in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Oct. 31, 2014, 3:42 PM
- SunPower (SPWR +7.5%) is creating a JV with five Chinese firms to "develop and own at least three gigawatts of photovoltaic power plants."
- The plants will be based in Sichuan Province, rely on SunPower's LCPV modules, and begin deployment in 2015. SunPower is investing $20M to obtain a 4.6% stake in the JV.
- SunPower previously struck a Chinese JV deal in Dec. 2012. It has also built a 300MW solar cell receiver facility in the country.
- Shares are among the biggest gainers on a good day for solar stocks.
Oct. 29, 2014, 11:25 AM
- SunPower (SPWR -4.6%) expects Q4 revenue of $575M-$625M and EPS of $0.15-$0.30, mostly below a consensus of $653.4M and $0.30.
- The company recognized revenue on 323MW of solar sales in Q3 - that's up from 311MW in Q2 and 252MW a year ago, but below guidance of 325MW-360MW. It expects to recognize 300MW-340MW in Q4.
- Gross margin was 16.7%, down from 19.5% in Q2 and 19.1% a year ago, and slightly below a 17%-19% guidance range. Q4 GM guidance is at 19%-21%. GAAP opex rose 8% Y/Y to $85.9M.
- Americas revenue (79% of total revenue) +38% Y/Y to $559.3M; Asia-Pac +6% to $100.3M; EMEA -63% to $44.6M. North American residential bookings rose over 50% Q/Q; Japan drove Asia-Pac growth.
- Solar product sales -6% to $210M; solar systems +30% to $444M.
- 2015 guidance will be provided at SunPower's Nov. 13 analyst day, as will an "overview of the company's asset monetization strategy" (a HoldCo reference?).
- Q3 results, PR, slides, datasheet
Oct. 29, 2014, 8:02 AM
- SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR): Q3 EPS of $0.30 beats by $0.06.

Ray D. Peterson: Innovative materials development key to Clean Energy Age
Tennessee has become a recognized leader in energy innovation.
Several companies, including Wacker Chemical Corp. and Hemlock Semiconductor Group, have selected the state as the home for their new solar-grade silicon production plants. Oak Ridge National Laboratory has led many initiatives that enhance the national understanding and development of energy technologies, such as highly efficient automobiles, superconductors and hydrogen storage.
As confirmed by a recent study released by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), expanding this regional success to a national "clean energy economy" hinges on significant investment in materials and manufacturing advances that make energy technologies across the board functioning and effective.
Coordinated on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Manufacturing Office, the TMS study defines a set of opportunities that can yield significant benefits in two to 10 years and help establish the United States as a leader in the next, emerging era of human progress — the Clean Energy Age.
The Clean Energy Age promises a host of technological and economic advantages. For example, if the opportunities outlined in the new TMS study are brought to bear through wise investment and the utilization of new tools, techniques and processes that will accelerate their commercialization, they could save more energy every year than the total amount currently generated by wind, solar, biomass waste and geothermal in the United States combined.
At the same time, these technologies can cut carbon emissions equal to about one-third of the U.S. industrial sector and eliminate $65 billion in unproductive energy expenditures by American businesses every year.
The demand for the materials responsible for the development and implementation of these new technologies will, in turn, create businesses and industries focused on materials production and distribution. Creating high-paying jobs at this scale will promote prosperity at the regional and national levels while enhancing U.S. competitiveness with other countries.
The challenges of the Clean Energy Age seem daunting. For example, to achieve energy efficient manufacturing processes, we need affordable materials that can withstand extremely high temperatures and corrosive environments. But these challenges present sizeable economic opportunities for the nations that innovate. Those who will lead the global energy economy will be the ones who come first to market with the materials and processes that will make next-generation energy technologies possible.
The United States has all the tools to take on that role, by virtue of its strong industrial base, its universities and its national laboratories. What is needed now is the development of a dynamic innovation infrastructure that integrates cutting-edge computational tools and techniques to streamline design and manufacturing processes. These emerging approaches and concepts can potentially cut the time now required for advanced materials development by half, while reducing associated costs significantly.
Whether the United States leads or follows, the world is transitioning to the Clean Energy Age. Making a significant, sustained investment in materials and manufacturing innovation now will deliver immediate benefits to our manufacturers, provide our citizens with clean, reliable energy and form the foundation for long-term economic growth in the decades ahead.

The International Monetary Fund has issued a sobering report for the western world. In short, the analysis maintains that the world's wealthiest nations are deluded in thinking that austerity cuts will chip away at debt. The report is warning of massive write-offs and defaults in order for the world's economy to remain afloat.

Keywords: IMF< First World, debt, haircuts, war debt
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the reports, the majority of the Western world will require defaults, a savings tax and higher inflation. Debt levels have reached their highest in more than 200 years.
Debt burdens in the First World have become extreme by any measuring stick. A wave of haircuts, either negotiated Depression Era-style write-offs or the standard mix of measures used by the IMF is required, the report argues.
"The size of the problem suggests that restructurings will be needed, for example, in the periphery of Europe, far beyond anything discussed in public to this point," Harvard professors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff say.
Overall, developed nations are working under the delusion that they are different from poorer nations and can therefore chip away at their debts with a blend of austerity cuts, growth, and tinkering. "Forbearance" is just another form of debt.
Advanced economies, many assume, "do not resort to such gimmicks" such as debt restructuring and repression, which would "give up hard-earned credibility" and throw the economy into a "vicious circle."
This line of thought, researchers say, rely on the "collective amnesia" of European and U.S. history. They are structured upon "overly optimistic" assumptions that risk doing far more damage to credibility in the end. This only drags on the crisis, blocking a lasting solution. "This denial has led to policies that in some cases risk exacerbating the final costs," it said.
Higher burdens are placed upon northern taxpayers with debt pooling in the eurozone. This could drag the EMU core states into a recession and aggravate their own debt and aging crises. Germany and the creditor core would do better to "bite the bullet" on big write-offs immediately rather than buying time with creeping debt mutualization, the paper argues.
Western debt burden is now so big that rich states will need same tonic of debt haircuts, higher inflation and financial repression, defined as an "opaque tax on savers" - as used in countless IMF rescues for emerging markets.
"The magnitude of the overall debt problem facing advanced economies today is difficult to overstate. The current central government debt in advanced economies is approaching a two-century high-water mark," they said.
Financial repression can take many forms, including capital controls, interest rate caps or the force-feeding of government debt to captive pension funds and insurance companies.
Some of these methods are already in use, but not yet on the scale seen in the late 1940s and early 1950s as countries resorted to every trick to tackle their war debts.

My cock would enjoy filling you sex hole with cum.
My cock would love to share your twat in person. Making love to your nice body would be a pleasure, hopefully for both of us as we cum together.
