ISTS to Join Germans in Mussolini, However, May Strike Before Announcing His Intentions It Fascists Keep Their Flans Secret and Maintain Close Watch on Greece BERLJN, May 31 Adolf Hitler received Italy's new am- bassador, Dino Alfieri, today at his headquarters near the West- ern Front. Foreign Minister Joa- chim Von Ribbentrop was pres- ent at the meeting, DNB, official German news agency, announced. To Move First HOME, May 31 Italian close to the government said to- day that any announcement of Italy's entrance into the Euro- pean war probably would come only after the Italian forces al- ready had moved and that the world probably would learn of the first actions from points out- side Italy. Widespread belief that Italian participation was imminent came from Premier Mussolini's call for a cabinet meeting next .Tuesday to discuss "important matters. Italy assured Greece five days ago that her neutrality would be safe from any Italian attack, a competent source disclosed. Italy's assurance of her desire to keep peace in the Balkans, however, was understood reliably to depend on the success of those states in maintaining their neu- trality against the Allies who have been accused of seeking to spread the war there. Keep Plans Secret Fascist authorities, keeping their plans secret, closely watch- ed British and French activity in Greece where, they said, an Allied move toward Salonika .would brine; an immediate Italian in- vasion of the Balkans.' One in- formant said Italy would refrain from taking the initiative there, Fascists disclaimed knowledge of the reported visit of German Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels to Adolf Hitler's headquarters which, a Nazi source in Berlin said, might be to prepare, for announcement of Italy's entry into the war. Sources close to the govern- ment predicted it would come as in the Ethiopian war, only alter Italian forces already had moved. By F. Lochner With the German Army on the Western Front. May 31 (AP) Word spread today through the zone of operations that a com- munication of the greatest impor- tance has been received from It- aly The general opinion was that Premier Mussolini's ent- rance into the war was only a question of brief time, possibly a few days. This information, if correct, is believed to mean that Adolf Hit- ler considers the French air force no longer a formidable military factor. An understanding was said to exist that Italian premier would come in after any formidable danger of attack from the air of his industrial region, fronting on France, had been removed. I am with Germany's war ma- chine again this time places like Lille and Arras and possibly Calais are ultimate goals. A Gap Near Sedan Meanwhile, we are having an opportunity to study the gap m the Maginot line extension be- tween Sedan and Maubeuge forc- ed by German strategy. All signs point to a complete surprise to the French by the Germans. France ought not to have been surprised. A source which is con- sider gilt-edge told me that the French intelligence had advance word of the plan for forcing a gap at Sedan. It was suggested, however, that the French general staff was so convinced that the old Schlieffen plan, which calls for a wide sweep- ing move into France via Belgium, would be followed to the letter that it did not deem likely that Germany would try at the same time to come by way of Luxem- bourg through the Ardennes mountains. Or if it came, only weak forces were to be expected. Germans Surprised Germans said they were sur- prised to find that not evert mines had been laid in the Arden- ne.s to hold up the German rush. However that may be. the fact. (Continued on War's Unprecedented Toll Means Hollow Victory for Winner; Allies Watch Italy; Will Duce Gamble?

President Roosevelt told Congress today the "speedy" enlargement of America's defense program by "over a billion dollars" was de- manded by "the almost incredible events of the past two weeks" in Europe's war. In a special defense the second in 15 Roose- velt said that "as long- as a pos- sibility exists that x x all con- tinents may become involved in a world wide war, reasonable pre- caution demands that American defense be make more certain."

"As long, however, as a possibility exists that not one continent or two continents but all continents may become involved in a- world wide war, reasonable precaution demands that American defense be made more certain."

"Without this he said, "we would most probably still be fighting on the line of the Albert Canal." He spoke of an incident, In which only one officer knew how to blow up a bridge which the Nazi forces w'ere able to cross ov- er the Belgian canal fortifications, as "distinctly unmilitary." "It is unbelievable" that no one under that officer's command of 50 men knew how to blow up the bridge, the spokesman said, add- ing "Anyway, the French soldiers who attributed the German ad- vances to the French high com- mand mistakes now know where to the blame."

Can't JDraw JLine Saying that he "'can't draw the lino" -between of war and 'navy expenditures, Morgen- thau begged "to differ" with MC- Lean and gave this as the admini- stration's attitude: "What we had in mind was that the people would like to pay for the extraordinary armament pro- gram; that will be borrowed by the army and navy would be paid for by them in five years." Urging enactment of a defense tax treas- ury head told the House Ways and Means Committee that as things stood now, the treasury's borrowing power would be "com- pletely exhausted" by the end of next February.

Informed observers, weighing the possibilities of the next Nazi stroke, considered these possibil- ities: 1. A separate peace offer to France with a great land and air- assault on Paris if France re- fuses. 2. A threat of an Italian flank tack 3. An ultimatum to Britain to accept Germany's terms or face "total war."

One broken wing,
Soaring and suffering,
Arm in a sling,
I don't owe you anything.
I'm a bad absentee,
You know when I want to leave.
So close up your knees,
and I'll close your parentheses.
I'm a bad amputee,
With no phantom memory.
So close up your knees,
and I'll close your parentheses.

User Home Pages: Eckler, Harvey, Kartchner, Kirchner, Raymond, Rivenbark
| We are seeking where Hendrick ECKLER, listed as Johan Hendrick Eckler, lived before landing in Philadelphia on the ship Loyal Judith on September 25, 1732. He moved to the Mohawk Valley in New York. Most ACKLERs in the USA descend from Hendrick. Note he is not one of the Maryland, Kentucky,or Ohio Eckler/EIGLER/EIKLOR. See the link below for those names.
Seeking RIVENBARK from any country. They settled in Eastern North Carolina, Sampson and Duplin County, around1750. We REALLY want to find the original name and place. Simon Rivenbark & family seem to have dropped off the face of the earth after 1800. Frederick RIVENBARK's War record says he came from Delve as a child. One Delve is in Schlesweig-Holstein (now Germany but Denmark then). Much more RIVENBARK info from Audrey Rivenbark can be found at WWW.RIVENBARK.COM.
Seeking HARVEY from upstate NY. Pretty well have the Mormon KARTCHNER/KIRCHNER back to Stephen in 1646 in Okarbun, Oherhen ,Hess, Germany. Seeking RAYMOND from upstate NY.
We will be glad to share with others seeking these families.

Review: A film tracks Conan on his comedy tour
For you fans who can't get enough of Conan O'Brien on his late-night TBS show, and who are game to revisit the tumultuous time when NBC's squeeze play put him out of a job while reinstating Jay Leno at "The Tonight Show," a new documentary film should be right up your alley.
For anybody else, "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" is simply an engaging, breathless road-trip portrait. It candidly captures the abruptly-unemployed TV host as he embraces a new challenge: mounting and headlining a 32-city concert tour to fill the void and nurse his wounds after he left NBC in early 2010 and, according to the exit deal, was barred from being on TV for six long months.
The film gives its audience a front-row seat for glimpses of the show (wryly titled "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour"). It also goes behind the scenes as this seasoned TV veteran reinvents himself for an untried kind of show-biz gig: entertaining paying audiences out in the real world in theater after theater, from coast to coast, missing his wife and kids and lots of sleep - and, at times, wondering what he had gotten himself into.
Along the way, the film provides fresh insights into the psyche of O'Brien, who, ever since landing on the air at NBC in 1993, has been considered one of TV's nicest, most levelheaded personalities.
"Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" doesn't undermine that image, but instead humanizes it with flashes of bitterness, crankiness and flat-out exasperation on Conan's part.
The miracle is that he doesn't vent more spleen.
"Sometimes I'm so mad I can't even breathe," he says rather mildly as the tour is being hatched. He is still stewing over losing the "Tonight Show" chair to a host who had willingly abdicated eight months earlier. But he decides that hitting the road could be a "sort of positive expression" as he ponders his next TV move.
You see him huddled with colleagues as they send out the first tweet announcing the tour.
"It's 7:20," Conan cracks. "By 7:40 I'll be out of the business."
But no! A "Team Coco" groundswell is in force, and Conan's concerts are quickly selling out.
This, too, makes him nervous: "Nothing motivates you to figure out what your show is like than selling a whole bunch of tickets to it."
They figure it out while you watch. Then the tour begins in Eugene, Ore., with sidekick Andy Richter, Conan's house band and two just-hired backup dancers dubbed The Coquettes.
As O'Brien surveys a seemingly deserted downtown stretch before show time, he muses, "Should I be worried that I'm opening in a town where nobody lives?"
But the hall is packed, and during one snippet of the show, he is seen in a funny, high-energy sendup of "Polk Salad Annie," testifying that growing up for him in Brookline, Mass., was tough, because most residents were upper class "and we were upper-MIDDLE class. It was hell!"
When the show is over, he is visibly relieved. Pumped. And chastened: "I have to do 44 more of those," he observes.
As tracked by director Rodman Flender, the rest of the film charts an odyssey that is full of fun for the performers. At the same time, it's a grueling endurance contest that may cure the film's viewers of any dreams they may have had for their own stardom on the road.
The dramatic arc of the film: Will Conan make it to the finish line?
His obligations seem endless.
In Los Angeles, he's committed to do a private show before the REAL concert.

For more than a century, performers have graced the intimate performance space at Edinburgh's Pixy Theatre.
Professional opera companies have performed Verdi and Mozart.
Theater groups have staged Shakespearean dramas.
These days, bluegrass and folk music entertains crowds from around central Indiana. Every year around the Fourth of July, the 38th Division Infantry Jazz band performs on the stage.
The Pixy Theatre, one of downtown Edinburgh's most historic buildings, has been reinvigorated as a meeting place, concert venue and performing arts center. Though still relatively unknown outside the area, it has become a hotbed for bluegrass and country musicians and a testament to those dedicated to preserving the town's heritage.
"You can technically own one of these buildings, but you're really just a steward," owner Mike Harding said. "It's for the community."
Built: 1907
Where: 111 S. Walnut St., Edinburgh
What: A concert venue, meeting space and banquet hall located in downtown Edinburgh.

The Pixy Theatre building itself is divided into separate rooms and facilities for a wide variety of uses.
Harding created a library in honor of his late wife, Carol Forest. She was an expert in water pollution control, and he was looking for a place to put many of her projects, writings and research on display.
The third floor has been outfitted with a meeting hall, full kitchen, great hall and bridal room to be used for weddings and special events. Exposed brick, hardwood floors and tall windows add to the authentic feel of the structure.
One of the most striking features is an Aeolian organ built in 1927. The instrument originally was housed in a mansion belonging to Indianapolis businessman Louis Levey.
At the time, it was one of the largest residential pipe organs ever created. Harding hired experts from the Indiana State Historical Organ Society to repair and clean the massive network of pipes.
"We have one of the oldest pipe organs in Indiana. One of the first things we did was restore it," Harding said.
The theater itself is simple yet elegant, with cushioned seats leading down to a curved stage.
"Visually speaking, it is strikingly beautiful. The architecture alone says so much even before we played the first notes," said TJ Robinette, cellist and vocalist for the band Filtered by the Sky, which performed on Sept. 7.
The Pixy was built in 1907, during Edinburgh's heyday as a commerce and transportation hub.
At the time, it was intended to be a Masonic Lodge. Members paid $25 each to have the three-story structure built one block south of downtown. It was used as a meeting place for the Masons, Rainbow Girls and Order of the Eastern Star.
Operas were performed in its main auditorium. It became a hub for first-run movies and was home for the Edinburgh Sugar Creek Players for almost 20 years.
But fewer groups were using the building. The Masons remained its main occupant, but even they were finding fault with the theater.
The lodge's meeting room was on the third floor, and older members were having trouble getting up the stairs.
Five years ago, Harding intersected with the Pixy. Though he lives in San Diego, his mother grew up in Edinburgh.
He still owns a portion of a farm south of the town on the Flat Rock River and the house where his mother grew up.
On a visit to Indiana, he ran into a friend who lived in Edinburgh and was a member of the Masonic Lodge. They started the conversation about buying the Pixy.
Harding's friend proposed a swap: If he would buy a suitable building near Edinburgh that was one story, the Masonic Lodge would trade him the Pixy for it.
"I ended up buying a 1,200-square-foot building on Main Street and traded it for the 12,000-square-foot historic building," he said.
Renovation started in 2008.
Harding replaced all of the original windows, which had rotted through. Previous owners had covered the windows with galvanized metal outside and drywall inside.
Harding had replicas of the original windows created to replace the old ones, at a cost of more than $200,000.
The roof was replaced, downspouts were repaired, and electrical and plumbing systems were fixed and updated. New heating units were needed.
"These buildings are so historic, you don't want to mess with them unless you can fix it up," he said.
Harding worked to bring back some of the Pixy's turn-of-the-century grandeur. He removed false ceilings, revealing the intricate original design.
Plaster and drywall were taken down to expose natural brick walls. Pine floors, which had been covered by tile, linoleum and carpet, were brought back to life.
To do much of the work, Harding tried to provide employment for area residents. He hired almost 30 youths who had been in trouble with the law or were teetering on the edge of delinquency. They worked for him, helping with the seemingly unending list of restoration work.
"We called them the 'Lost Boys of Edinburgh.' We were the only work they could get," Harding said.
So far, Harding has put $500,000 worth of improvements into the theater.
Since he lives in California most of the year, he has relied on friends and family to help with the day-to-day operation of the Pixy.
Edinburgh resident Judy Chandler oversees the theater from near her home. Harding's brother, Gary, manages the space. He books concerts, weddings and other events, driving from his home near New Palestine to take care of business when needed.
An emphasis has been put on booking touring bluegrass and country performers. But everything from rock to blues to jazz has been part of the Pixy lineup, Mike Harding said.
"We've had such enormous talent come across our stage. We're booked up with agents in Nashville, and they send us up people all the time that are fabulous," he said.
Jamie Nichole, an alternative country artist from Martinsville, played at the Pixy in September. She had found out about the venue from a friend and fellow performer who had done a series of shows at the theater.
Upon seeing the venue and hearing its acoustics, she was enthralled.
"That's the ideal setting and ideal room for me to play in. I'm a solo artist, I play guitar and sing. The sound you get in a room like that is amazing," she said. "It's a room where people come to listen, you're not fighting with bars and TVs and games and stuff like that."
Nichole hopes to play the Pixy again. She also is considering doing some live recordings and video shoots for her upcoming album in the space.
With a restored theater and slowly expanding roster of performers, the next step is to let people know about the Pixy's potential, Harding said.
The theater regularly draws people from central Indiana. When Filtered by the Sky performed, they had a crowd of regulars from Indianapolis but didn't have much success getting Edinburgh residents to come out, Robinette said.
People still act surprised when they hear that the Pixy is open, Harding said.
"Anyone who wants to play, just give us a CD. We bring in all kinds of unusual things — magicians, folk artists, all sorts of people."

May Twin of the Month: Joe Mauer
Joe Mauer's May return to baseball has been nothing short of inspired - and historic. Yet, after the Twins bumbled to an 11-11 April while Mauer recovered from his inflamed sacroiliac joint, the club as a whole -- still under .500 at 24-25 -- seems held by the haze of different joints. Nothing attached to that poor mark can be attributed to Mauer.
Since Joe's May 1st return, the Twins went from 4.22 run per game in April, to 5.92 per in May. Mauer's presence was also evidenced in his handling of the staff; the club ERA went from 5.26 in April, down to 4.44 in May since his return behind the dish. Furthermore, Mauer has yet to commit an error this year, although it is worthy of minor note that he has in fact allowed 2 passed balls (after just 4 all last year), and his caught stealing percentage (.154; just 2 of 11 runners) does not offer echo of the Gold Glove upon his mantle.
For his stated impact upon return from injury, Joe Mauer follows up our April selection of Jason Kubel, and is the May Twin of the Month.
While Mauer went hitless in yesterday's nooner loss to the Bo Sox, such deficiency has been nearly unheard of in the May that was Mauer. That doughnut represented just the fifth time in his 26 games in which the catcher went without a knock, and only the third game in which he failed to reach base.
For the month of May (thus far), Mauer leads the American League in batting (.407), RBI (32), on-base percentage (.496), slugging percentage (.607), and runs (26). He strung together a 14-game hit streak mid-month, and his 11 May long balls are second only to Yankee Mark Teixeira's May dozen. Mauer has engendered double-digit home run totals just once before in his career, that was back in '06 when he clubbed 13. In that storied season of yore it took him 121 games to get to 11 homers; this season he did it in just 23 contests.
Still at a clip above .400, much has, and will be discussed about Mauer's chances for a
third batting title run in '09. To crunch the numbers just a wee bit herein: 502 plate appearances are required to qualify; Mauer currently has accrued 113, averaging 4.34 plate appearances per game. The Twins have 113 games left this year, so Joe would justify with about 90 starts in those 113. Based on the 4.34 per (which includes walks, hit by pitch, catcher interference, etc.), that would bring him to about 503.
That the club is just 13-14 since Mauer's return is a perplexing matter that will require a concentrated weekend combination of rumination and gin. Poor road play can be attributed as a blanket statement, and tough May competition (Yanks, Boston, Milwaukee, first-place Detroit, Tampa) also paints a broad stroke.
But for a club that perennially seems to heat up with ascending summer temps, the Twins engender June with the Bread Basket's favorite boy of summer now in tow, just as the club re-welcomes a host of more measured competition. For his powerful, inspirited, and necessary return to play, Joe Mauer is our Twin of the Month. In recognition of the accomplishment, Joe receives a free basket of tomatoes from my friend Beau's garden. Man, those are sweet.

Re: Focus adjustment?
CDAF needs no calibration to reach perfect focus. The reason PDAF is being grafted on to some mirrorless cameras is to gain AF speed mainly by making the initial movement more positive as the lens can travel in the right direction at first attempt.

IMPORTANT! I made this recipe many times and have made some important improvements. First, boil potatoes 3 or 4 minutes after cutting them up. In a large bown, wisk other incredients including 1 tsp. Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning and 50% more mustard & olive oil. drain potatoes and put them in the bowl to toss, then spread on cookie sheet. Cook just until they start to get brown and crispy on the edges. A family favorite!
This recipe is great with some sliced scallions and rosemary. Next time I want to try adding broccoli pieces to the mix, as well.
I had some potatoes that I needed to use, and wanted something quick, easy and cheap (since I am a college student). They turned out really great. Make sure to turn them periodically as they kept wanting to burn on the bottom. Will make again!

The announcement by Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer that they were pulling the plug on clinical testing of the Alzheimer's drug Bapineuzumab after two failed clinical trials, got a lot of mainstream news media coverage as it should have to balance some of the earlier breathless hype about the drugs potential.
But not many stories that we saw got at a core issue. Bloomberg News did a good job when it reported:
While companies have focused on developing drugs to hinder the amyloid deposits, scientists arent certain whether the clumps cause or are a minor contributor to the disease or merely a consequence.
Alzheimers is a tough nut for any drug company to crack, said Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigans Ross School of Business, in an e-mail. We dont know for sure what causes it or even what it really is. There will be more failures before we see a success.
Numerous reasons may account for the bapineuzumab trial failures, said Lon Schneider, director of the University of Southern California Alzheimers Disease Research and Clinical Center in Los Angeles. It could be that intervening earlier in the disease process is necessary, or that researchers need to attack amyloid in a different way, he said.
My wish is that the investor and scientific community doesnt interpret this as something to the effect that the amyloid hypothesis for treatment is invalid or dead, Schneider said in a telephone interview. Thats not the way Im interpreting it.
The New York Times reported that the drug "targets beta amyloid, a protein that has toxic effects on the brain and is believed to be a cause of the disease," and with its failure, "some have called that theory into question."
Reuters at least included this – but we wish the perspective had come from a scientist in the field, not just an analyst:
"Disappointingly for patients and investors, the future of the beta amyloid approach to treatment of AD (Alzheimer's disease) now lies in the balance," said Deutsche Bank analyst Richard Parkes.
The Associated Press story didnt offer that context. Neither did the Wall Street Journal story that only danced around the topic:
Bapineuzumab aimed to attack a sticky substance that builds up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. While the drug appeared to succeed at removing these so-called amyloid plaques, the trial results suggest that wasn't enough to provide a therapeutic benefit, at least in patients who have had the disease for long enough to be classified as mild or moderate.
"Targeting amyloid we still believe is very important. The main question is going to be how early do you need to do that" and how to identify patients soon enough, said Husseini Manji, who heads neuroscience research at J&J. He called the results "a terrific disappointment and a setback," but said lessons could be learned that would drive further drug R&D.
Right now amyloid is a surrogate marker. Journalists who build up hope over experimental drugs – and then report on drug failures – need to keep that in mind and should help readers understand the core issue as well. And, yes, we know that some of the stories above are "business" stories, but as we've written in the past, online news surfers find business stories just as they find consumer health news stories and the differentiation is almost irrelevant online.
See our primer on surrogate markers.

Excellent article! Thanks, Gary. It is unconscionable many journalists (business or not) feed the general public and, those who may be touched by Alzheimer's disease such a steady diet of obfuscation and bias. These journalists not only mislead and confuse, but promote unrealistic hope.

Government regulators never acted on calls for stepped-up inspections of leafy greens after last year's deadly E. coli spinach outbreak, leaving...
SALINAS, Calif. — Government regulators never acted on calls for stepped-up inspections of leafy greens after last year's deadly E. coli spinach outbreak, leaving the safety of the nation's salads to a patchwork of largely unenforceable rules and the industry itself, an investigation found.
The regulations governing farms in the Central California region known as the nation's "Salad Bowl" remain much as they were when bacteria from a cattle ranch infected spinach that killed three people and sickened more than 200.
A review of data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act found that federal officials inspect companies growing and processing salad greens an average of once every 3.9 years. Some proposals in Congress would require such inspections at least four times a year.
In California, which grows three-quarters of the nation's greens, processors created a new inspection system but with voluntary guidelines that were unable to keep bagged spinach tainted with salmonella from reaching grocery shelves last month.

Despite widespread calls for spot-testing of processing plants handling leafy greens after last year's E. coli outbreak, California public-health inspectors have not been given the authority to conduct such tests, so no such tests have been done, the review found.
"We have strict standards for lead paint on toys, but we don't seem to take the same level of seriousness about something that we consume every day," said Darryl Howard, whose mother, Betty Howard, 83, of Richland, died as a result of E. coli-related complications.
She was one of three people to die in the outbreak that began in August 2006 that also sickened more than 200 people from Maine to Arizona.
By mid-September, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a two-week nationwide warning not to eat fresh spinach. Authorities eventually traced the likely source of the E. coli to a cattle ranch about 40 miles east of Salinas.
State Sen. Dean Florez, a Central Valley Democrat who sponsored three failed bills to enact mandatory regulations for leafy greens this year, said momentum faded as the E. coli case dropped from the headlines and the industry lobbied hard for self-regulation.
"That legislation was held up waiting for this voluntary approach for food safety to see if it works," said Florez, who is skeptical of that approach.
"It only took one 50-acre parcel to poison 200 people and bring the industry to its knees," he said. "We don't get why the industry would be playing this game of roulette with our food."
Last year's outbreak prompted a temporary downturn in sales of salad greens, but more than 5 million bags of salad are sold each day nationwide.
In March, the Bush administration issued a draft of its guidance to minimize microbial hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
Many growers and producers are either unaware of the guidelines or aren't complying, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based consumer-advocacy group.
"Inspection alone isn't going to fix the problem, unless the farmers utilize food-safety plans that are effective for controlling pathogens," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of the center's food-safety division. "They're not getting at the source of the contamination: on the farm."

GE's Big Bet On Small Firms
Company's investments in energy ventures may benefit some of its own businesses
General Electric Co. GE 1.22 % is one of the world's biggest companies, but it's increasingly looking to work with small start-ups as a way to gain an edge.
More in Environment
With 20 venture deals already, 2011 is "shaping up to be our busiest in number of deals since the formation of our VC investing group," says Kevin Skillern, head of the group, part of GE Energy Financial Services. Previously, the unit's busiest year was 2007, with 11 deals.
GE relaunched venture activities in 2006 after some earlier missteps, including investments that lost $167 million in a single quarter in 2002. The company was a heavy investor in software and telecom start-ups, but decided to wind down its venture-capital activities that year.
The pace at GE's energy-venture unit is accelerating for several reasons, including a $300 million joint venture it launched in January with NRG Energy Inc. NRG 0.75 % and ConocoPhilips Co. COP -0.30 % to invest in energy start-ups. The company also recently launched a technology competition called Ecomagination Challenge, which seeks to find the most innovative technologies for creating, managing or using energy. The company has invested in several of the winners.
Daniel Holland, an analyst who covers GE at investment research company Morningstar Inc., says GE casts a wide net in its search for new technologies. "No matter how the world thinks about consuming energy, GE will have a position in that market," he says. The company provides technologies for the production of energy using natural gas, nuclear, wind and solar power.
By committing up to $40 million to eSolar Inc., GE recently became the latest industrial behemoth to invest in a big way in solar-thermal energy, which uses solar rays to power steam turbines. Other big players in solar thermal include France's Alstom SA, a backer of Brightsource Energy Inc.; Areva SA, also of France, which is winning business with solar-thermal technology it bought when it acquired Ausra Inc. last year; and Germany's Siemens AG, which uses technology from Solel, which it acquired in 2009.
Each of the technologies used by these ventures has different configurations, efficiencies and optimal size of their power plants, as well as costs. With so many big players converging, competition for each utility contract clearly figures to increase. Keely Wachs, spokesman for Brightsource, based in Oakland, Calif., says the presence of industrial giants helps validate the sector, which in turn helps the smaller companies compete with other renewable-energy technologies such as photovoltaics, the panels used to collect solar rays. "For a long time we were the only guys in solar-thermal making noise," he says.
Small Is Friendly
Although clean-tech companies can be costly to support, some are choosing to take smaller rounds of financing in order to retain more control.
SolarCity Inc., a leaser and installer of solar-energy systems, says it turned down financing of up to $100 million from an outside investor. Instead, the San Mateo, Calif., company chose to raise $20 million in a Series F financing round, half of which came from its chairman, Elon Musk, who also is chairman and chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA 0.78 % and space-travel company Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
SolarCity Chief Executive Lyndon Rive says raising funding from a new investor would have required giving that investor a significant percentage of equity in the company, thus diluting the shares of current investors.
Another company, Montreal-based Lumenpulse Inc., recently raised $11 million in Series A equity, all from individuals. François-Xavier Souvay, the company's president, chief executive and founder, says management thought individual investors would be less likely than venture-capital or other big investment firms to pressure the still-developing company for returns.
What Else Is New?
Here's a look at other recent deals reported by VentureWire:
The venture arm of General Motors Co. GM 1.50 % invested $7.5 million in solar developer and manufacturer Sunlogics PLC, Rochester Hills, Mich. The company will soon be rolling out solar charging stations for electric vehicles in China in partnership with China National Building Materials and GM's Chevrolet division.
Second Rotation Inc., which does business as Gazelle.com, has raised a $22 million round of funding led by Craton Equity Partners to grow its business of collecting used electronics and reselling them.
Existing investors provided an additional $50 million in a Series D round for Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc. to advance its business of using catalysts to create non-petroleum-based specialty chemicals. The Bolingbrook, Ill., company raised a $100 million Series C round late last year from Naxos Capital Partners, Total Energy Ventures and TPG, a San Francisco-based private invesment firm.
BridgeLux Inc., a Livermore, Calif., developer of light-emitting-diode technologies, closed on $60 million toward a new financing round led by Craton Equity.
