Now that Charles Grant is gone, how will the Saints' defensive ends fare in 2010?
Will Smith remains a fixture at right defensive end. There is no reason to expect anything but another tremendous season from Smith. He is one of the better 4-3 ends in the league and is in the prime of his career.
At one point, Grant was considered to be nearly in Smith's class. That has not been the case lately, though, and Grant is now in Miami playing in their three-man front. This illustrates how his value has fallen off as an edge rusher.
The Saints were wise to acquire Alex Brown to fill Grant's shoes. Why the Bears let Brown go is beyond me. He would be an excellent No. 2 defensive end opposite Julius Peppers, but Chicago's loss is New Orleans' gain. Now Brown will fill that role opposite Smith. Durable and reliable, Brown will also be playing in better weather and overall conditions conducive to rushing the quarterback. Expect his production to increase in the Big Easy, and he should approach double-digit sacks. Brown is a clear upgrade over the level of play that Grant displayed in 2009, both as a pass-rusher and against the run.
Bobby McCray, Jimmy Wilkerson and Jeff Charleston are the other ends who should factor into the equation. Defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove has the position versatility to play end, where he would enhance the run defense, but do little to help the pass rush.
You could do a lot worse than McCray as a third option who rotates in. He is a long, linear player who keeps pass-protectors away from his body. He did record double-digit sacks in 2006 while playing for Jacksonville. Wilkerson is a serviceable depth player, but is far from a dynamic difference-maker. To his credit, he did get to the quarterback six times last year for the Bucs. He is coming off a knee injury though. Charleston isn't real fluid and is a well below average pass-rusher. He is just a bottom-of-the-roster player, in my opinion, and isn't a guarantee to make the team.
With the Saints' excellent and deep secondary, Gregg Williams will of course dial up plenty of blitzes, which enhances the overall ability to get to opposing quarterbacks. There are not many areas where I think that New Orleans improved from a year ago, but defensive end is one area where it did.

John Arminger Mackenzie wanted to be a troubadour, but fate made him the son of the king of Montival. His sister Princess Orlaith will deservedly inherit the throne of the High Kings, and it will only pass unto him in the event of her death, leaving the young prince on an unknown path to discover his true role in the family.
The opportunity to prove his mettle comes when John's ship, the Tarshish Queen, is caught in the fierce storm raised against the enemies of the alliance. When the clouds recede and the skies clear, John and his crew find themselves on the other side of the Pacific, in the island chains of the Ceram Sea, fighting to survive against vicious pirates and monstrous creatures of the deep, meeting new allies and mysterious enemies of this world and another. Now, Prince John must seize his birthright and lead his people in battle against the darkest forces man and nature can conjure against them.

"Read this before Audible offered it. Worthy!"
If you like the series, this coming of age story is a welcome addition to "The Change."
"Great book as always"
Love these books. There really thought out and researched from beginning to end. Thanks to Sterling.
"Some Beach"
So the book was really good. But now I have to wait an indeterminate amount of time to resolve this cliffhanger. My advice is to wait for the next book before buying this one so you won't lose sleep over it. :)
"A fun continuation of a good series"
If you have enjoyed the Change series up to this point, you'll enjoy Prince of Outcasts. The story shifts more to John, who I wasn't particularly interested in, but Stirling put him in a situation that demanded my attention.
If you haven't enjoyed the Change series so far, you probably won't enjoy this book, but why are you still trying?
I look forward to the next installment of this series.
"Back to greatness"
I loved e everything about this book and began to love the characters again, especially Prince John and his crew. The ending was disappointing - cliffhangers aren't fun. Otherwise, 5 stars all the way!
"Ok, but the weakest book in the series."
Not to start the series with as it's the poorest book in the series.
I would say anticlimax but it never builds any tension to climax.
Yeah, I have a free pass at the cinema.
Please pronounce Maori correctly, please. A bridge of a book setting up the next one.

Inhibited from Bowling Alone
The present research demonstrates that consumers often feel inhibited from engaging in hedonic activities alone, especially when these activities are observable by others. When considering whether to engage in a hedonic and public activity such as going to a movie alone, individuals anticipate negative inferences from others about their social connectedness, which reduce their interest in engaging in the activity. Notably, consumers seem to overestimate how much their enjoyment of these activities depends on whether they are accompanied by a companion. Cues that attenuate consumers' anticipation of negative inferences by making an activity seem more utilitarian or by reducing the anticipated number of observers systematically increase interest in engaging in unaccompanied public activities.

The question of retaining profits on quality dividend companies through the selling of a position seems to counter the whole point of dividend investing. After all, aren't you supposed to allow the dividends to compound? In a small way, we described one approach and our rationale for selling quality companies after small gains in this article: Our Primary Concern: Retaining Profits.
However, there is another way to view the rationale behind selling a dividend stock after a "fair profit." In the early years of his Dow Theory Letters, Richard Russell would often cite a Robert Rhea quote about the impact of a stock decline. Rhea would say:
Buying in bear markets is merely gambling and not very good gambling at that. Why not have cash instead of investments in bear markets? Why insist that one cannot afford to forego investment income when one day's price shrinkage may cancel several years' dividends?
Russell, Richard. Dow Theory Letter. May 10, 1960. Issue #103. page 2
The idea of canceling several years' worth of dividends is at the forefront of our thinking when gains evaporate into losses. In Richard Russell's Dow Theory Letters dated November 23, 1960, he presents, in literal terms, the impact of price decline and the loss of years of dividend income in the process. The table below (click to enlarge) is from Russell's newsletter and needs little in the way of explanation.
|Source: Richard Russell, Dow Theory Letters,
Because stocks are not required to return principal with a stated yield as with many bonds, there is no assurance that the price will recover to the level at which a purchase was initiated. Therefore, receiving short-term income on a dividend stock--although a necessary source of income for retired individuals--still leaves said investor with the prospect exists that they could end up with only a portion of the principal instead of the intended income plus principal.
The lack of assurance of principal and income with dividend stocks is why we believe people have become disenfranchised from technology stocks like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO). If they've invested in the stocks with the belief that they're in it forever, when the decline comes, absent any dividend, there is little recourse or hope of recovering lost funds or keeping up with inflation.
Even new investors to Microsoft and Cisco Systems, aware of their bold promises in 1999 and subsequent failure to deliver in 2011, are asking themselves, "is it really worth facing the prospect of no return?" These questions are being asked even when in some instances--especially with Microsoft--the timing probably couldn't be better (especially now that they're paying a dividend). Our supplementary comments on Microsoft can be found here.
While we subscribe to the Graham/Buffett principles of investing (buying for the long-term since you're buying a business, concentrate on value, etc.) we assume that since there are only a handful of billionaires hewn strictly from investing in stocks, we might do well to hedge our thinking and strategy.
Finally, further analysis of Robert Rhea's claim on not being invested at all during bear markets is something that is at odds with Charles Dow and we've decided is not appropriate or necessary. From our experience, bear markets are no guarantee of losses in your portfolio. Charles H. Dow, founder of the Wall Street Journal, has said that:
"Even in a bear market, this method of trading will usually be found safe, although the profits taken should be less because of the liability of weak spots breaking out and checking the general rise."
Schultz, Harry D., A Treasury of Wall Street Wisdom, Investors' Press, (New Jersey, 1966). p. 12. Additional commentary here.
Evidence of the fact that bear markets don't always equal destruction of wealth while going long stocks is demonstrated in our 2007, 2008 and 2009 performance review. Naturally, 2008 is not expected to be replicated (having gains, while going long only, during a market decline of 40% or more). However, we do know that being all in or timing the market to be all out during bear markets shouldn't be the goal. The goal, from our perspective, should be the preservation of gains whenever possible.

I like that this made a nice, chewy cookie without shortening. The spices are great, and I might even add more another time. I like the less-sweet taste; rolled in sugar you taste sweet first, then spicy second. This recipe worked well for me using 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour. I used a smidge of blackstrap molasses (I long ago learned not to substitute the entire amount of molasses with blackstrap!!). Funny, when you need kids to help, they don't seem to mind rolling cookies and coating them in sugar! Just don't feed them baked cookies from the first batch until all cookies have been rolled! **Update** 8 days later, these cookies are still soft (from the cookie jar) and so incredible! The spice combo is perfect, as is the sweetness. Yes, 8 days is a long time for us to keep cookies in our jar, but we have to be self-controlled sometime!
Original review Dec07: I hate to give a low review, but I really don't care for these all that much. I usually love molasses cookies, but these were too much spice and not enough sweet for me. The texture was excellent (I rolled them in small balls and then in granulated sugar rather than rolling and cutting out), and they were very easy to make. I just think less molasses and probably more sugar would have been more to my taste. They are definitely not bad, just didn't work out so well for me. Sorry! New: I gave these another chance, and I'm glad I did! Last time I had organic molasses, and this time I had regular processed, and it made all the difference in the world!
I was craving something sweet the other night and realized I was out of eggs so I went searching. I'm so glad I found this recipe. These little cookies are the perfect combination of sweet, spicy and salty. I also made mine into balls and rolled in sugar and baked them for 12 minutes. I froze half the dough for a sweet snack mid-week. These are going in the favorites folder. Thank you Rinder!

CarCharging Group (OTCPK:CCGI) is an Electric Vehicle [EV] charging company transitioning from development stage to growth stage. It is on a mission to provide EV charging services at every parking location, as well as in residential places and municipalities among others. The company has also been on an acquisition spree, after it made four acquisitions in fiscal year 2013.
CarCharging Group made strategic acquisitions over the past year, the most notable one being, the acquisition of ECOtality's Blink Network, a company that provides electric vehicle charging services throughout the U.S via the Blink Network brand. This acquisition made CarCharging Group the largest EV charging services provider in the country.
Nonetheless, since the acquisition in October last year, CarCharging Group has yet to turnaround the business it acquired through a bankruptcy auction. This has been the biggest challenge for CarCharging Group, upon which, if trounced, it could turn the fortunes of the company.
In fiscal year 2013, CarCharging Group reported mixed results as revenues grew massively from $258k to $466k while net loss increased from $5.2 million to $24 million. However, the huge shore up in losses was partly due to the acquisition of the Blink Network and massive stock compensations.
The company also registered impressive improvements on some of its operational metrics, including a massive jump in the monthly kWh charging output, and net EV charging service fees.
Data source: CarCharging Group
CarCharging Group is undoubtedly expanding, but its losses too are and therefore, will need to start monetizing the assets it acquired last year, in order to give investors renewed hope. The good news is that, the company is putting measures in place to ensure that last year's acquisitions deliver according to the strategic plan.
For instance, the company signed an agreement with Gridscape Solutions to help in integrating Nissan DC fast Chargers into the Blink Network. This is a significant step in CarCharging Group's roadmap to monetizing the Blink Network's assets.
This means that the company is on its way towards making the 14,031 charging stations revenue generating streams, as it continues to cement its position as a market leader in EV charging services. The Blink Network has an estimated 35,000+ members nationwide, which provide the much-needed base for revenue generation.
Reasons why CarCharging Group Could Resume Uptrend
A. CarCharging Group's acquisitions are not shots in the dark; they are strategic and fit well into the company's value proposition.
Over the last few quarters, CarCharging Group has made various acquisitions that fit well in its growth strategy. After the acquisition of ECOtality's Blink Network, the company has moved on to establish itself as a market leader in the business of EV charging services.
For investors, the dream acquisition of ECOtality may appear to be going through some difficulties in terms of monetization, but for CarCharging Group, this is basically part of its transformation into a market leading status in the EV Charging industry.
Now, to become a leader in the industry, first, the company needs an overwhelming presence, call it market share. CarCharging group now has that, after acquiring the Blink Network. Just to bring the picture into perspective, as of May 2013, there were roughly 20,000 charging stations in the U.S. These included Blink Network's charging stations, which CarCharging group acquired later in the year.
Based on these numbers, CarCharging Group commands more than 70% of the market in terms of EV charging stations. However, a majority of these are home-based charging stations, which of course make part of CarCharging Group's 35,000+ active Blink Network members that the company intends to monetize fully going forward.
The fact that a majority of the Blink Network's Charging stations are home-based makes CarCharging Group's opportunity in the residential markets rosier. This is because due to the time required to charge an EV, home-based systems present a more compelling option for EV owners; they have more time to charge their EVs to full capacity than in the case of a roadside station.
Blink Network's Commercial Charging map locations (Source: Blink Network)
Based on the map above, it is clear that there is a lot of room to grow for CarCharging Group. Notice that, the Blink Network as noted represents CarCharging Group's main force in the market. Nonetheless, it appears to be lacking presence in the entire midlands and northern regions.
However, CarCharging Group has continued with its hunt for key partnerships in the real estate market, as it seeks to expand presence in the rest of the country. These partnerships will help the company drum-up its expansion campaign in commercial points.
Some of the latest members to be added in the list of these alliances include Lerner Enterprises and Simon Property Group. The two give the company the opportunity to install more Charging points at strategic locations in Washington DC and Las Vegas, respectively.
Altogether, there are three catalysts emanating from CarCharging Group's acquisition of ECOtality:
- Blink Network's Blink HQ, gives CarCharging group access to residential single family homes as well as multi-family apartment dwellers.
- The acquisition also increased CarCharging Group's commercial charging locations by 4,075, which also is key to the company's strategic growth in the industry.
- Blink Network had established several partnerships with various property owners. These are going to be crucial in the company's continuous expansion in the commercial EV charging business.
B. Alliances with key product developers
CarCharging Group has not limited its partnerships to property owners. The company has extended this to product developers as it seeks to augment its innovative technological products with those from leading providers in the industry. These are creating a key vertical in its product mix, which in exchange widens its addressable market.
Additionally, the alliance with leading product developers also acts as a secondary marketing tool, as the partners have global brand presence.
For instance, CarCharging Group has collaborated with Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY) in the deployment of Nissan's quick Charger stations. The quick chargers reduce charging time drastically by up to 80%. Now, as discussed earlier, one of the biggest obstacles in EV Charging is the time it takes to charge the EV when compared to filling a gasoline vehicle.
The two companies made a public announcement last year about their intentions to make EV charging more readily available, and to expand consumer awareness of the electric car market. Nissan is one of the leading manufacturers of EVs, as its Nissan Leaf, leads the mark in terms of shipments. According to reports for EVs shipped between January and April 2014, Nissan Leaf shipments stood at 7,272, compared with Chevy Volt's 5,054, Toyota Prius PHV's 5,030, and an estimated 4,600 for Tesla Model S.
Therefore, while CarCharging Group's products are compatible with all of these EVs, the partnership with Nissan boosts the company's competitive edge in the fast charging products market. Nissan is a global brand, which means that as the EV industry continues to grow, CarCharging Group will have a compelling opportunity to expand in other regions of the world.
CarCharging group has also teamed up with ChargePoint, the second largest EV Charging products developer in the U.S. CarCharging Group recently installed ChargePoint EV Charging equipments in Manhattan, NY.
CarCharging Group also entered into an agreement with one of the world's leading brands in the power industry; General Electric's (NYSE:GE) industrial solutions business to establish interoperability between CarCharging's Blink Network and GE's Watt Station EV chargers.
This partnership will eliminate the barriers that have existed among EV Charging networks by integrating their systems to allow drivers to utilize both companies' mobile applications and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) cards interchangeably.
This partnership opens new access and payment channels for the entire EV industry. Additionally, it also widens CarCharging Group's addressable market by enabling easier access to EV Charging stations provided by General Electric and its own Blink Network EV charging points.
Furthermore, associating with a leading global brand like GE also heightens customer's confidence in its products. In addition, CarCharging looks to grow both nationally and globally, and this partnership is going to play a key role in easing penetration and acceptance by customers.
CarCharging Group's other notable partnerships include SemaConnect and Efacec. The company's Level II charging stations are compatible with several EVs sold in the U.S including Tesla model S, Nissan LEAF, Chevy Volt, Mitsubishi i-Miev, Toyota Prius Plug-In, Honda Fit EV, and Toyota Rav4 EV, as well as many others that will be launched in the near future.
Now, just as noted earlier, compatible products are critical for the company's business model, which involves a variety of targeted brands. These types of products will help the company to maximize revenue potential without necessarily increasing the associated costs, thereby increasing operating margins.
In summary, the company's alliance with leading players in the industry and the provision of compatible products generate four main catalysts:
- The company benefits from indirect marketing thereby enhancing global awareness. For instance, the partnership with Nissan and GE will play to the advantage of CarCharging Group's product mix.
- CarCharging Group is able to expand to other strategic locations where the various product developers boast significant market share thereby increasing its addressable market.
- CarCharging Group is also able to cut on costs by installing products developed by other providers. Therefore, considering the fact that the company is yet to become a cash cow, these alliances will be crucial, and provide a cheaper way of generating revenues.
- Finally, the company's product compatibility with various EVs ensures that it will be able to generate optimal revenues from every product while at the same time reducing the cost of revenue.
C. The industry promises a stupendous growth
Three major catalysts could propel the EV industry to new heights. EVs are products of technological advances, and technology happens to be one of the prevailing catalysts for a major growth in the industry.
From a smartphone point of view, we are already moving from Ethernet powered internet connection cables to WiFi connectivity. In fact, we already have wireless chargers for smartphones.
Now, a similar paradigm shift is taking place in the EV charging industry, and interestingly, this is happening while the industry is still at its early growth stage.
1. Wireless EV charging to boost industry growth
Now, as noted earlier, one of the biggest challenges in EV charging is the time it takes to charge the car. While it only takes a couple of minutes in a gasoline filling station, EV charging can take hours. The fastest is the DC fast charge, which takes about 30 minutes.
However, companies are devising new charging methods at the lowest cost possible. Wireless charging is leading the mark in this respect, as providers seek to emulate the trend established in the smartphones market.
Now, by description, wireless or induction charging uses magnetism to transmit energy. The current flowing from the power source, moves through the wireless charger by creating a magnetic field, which then creates a current in the coil inside the device. This coil is connected to the battery and then, the current charges the battery.
Currently, only two EV brands are supported; the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt, but soon, more will be released with this capability. In fact, according to reports, wireless charging enabled EVs are expected to increase significantly in the next five years, as the device becomes more of a necessity than a feature.
Reports also indicate that current wireless EV Chargers are primarily in the form of charging plates, on top of which EVs park. However, CarCharging Group has filed for two patents for wireless EV Chargers that it believes could revolutionize wireless EV chargers. This is likely to spur the production of wireless EV chargers.
"Car Charging announced the filing of a utility patent application (#13600058) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for an inductive EV charging station in the form of a parking bumper. Transmitting the energy through a bumper, which is common in most parking lots, provides seamless and effortless charging, as it will only require the EV driver to park the car's wheels near the charging apparatus."
The company also expects this type of wireless EV charger to be more cost effective than the current ones. It also believes that they would be more energy efficient. This is a key advantage for the company and the industry in general.
The other type of patent the company has applied for includes a wireless charging system embedded underground, which the company's CEO Michael D. Farkas acknowledges will take time to commercialize due to the costly implementation.
"User friendly inductive charging will facilitate the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Going to the gas station will be a thing of the past," Farkas said when making the announcement three years ago.
2. The government is providing incentives for players to venture into the EV industry
In 2009, Ford Motor Company (F) was awarded $5.9B in government grants, as the U.S government continued with its push to foster electric vehicles industry.
Tesla Motors (TSLA) on the other hand, received $465M worth of loans. The U.S government has also approved a $7,500 tax credit to purchasers of electric vehicles.
In general, the government is trying to promote the use of green energy, which is in tandem with the global demands to reduce activities contributing to global warming and climate change.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors was appointed by the U.K government in Nov 2013, to be the "electric Car tsar" in a bid to champion the campaign in changing the way people think about cars and driving.
This indicates a growing global acceptance of electric cars and the governments are joining in the campaign by offering various incentives to help in growing the industry.
According to CarCharging Group's recent results, the U.S government is also issuing grants to EV Charging service providers. The company has already received nearly $883k worth of grants, rebates and incentives to defray the cost of equipment and installation of 108 charging stations during 2013. This is vital for the company as it continues to transition from development to growth stage.
These incentives will boost the company's ability to install more charging stations around the country, as it gears towards break-even point.
3. Current numbers indicate that the industry is growing
The EV industry is already showing tremendous signs of growth. Based on data obtained from various sources, the number of EVs/plug-ins shipped is set to grow significantly for the fourth year running.
In 2010/2011, the number of EVs/plug-ins stood at about 20,000. In 2012, the industry shipped more than 53,000 units, while last year, the figure was close to 100,000, as 97,500 were sold to the market.
Based on the current figures, as of April 30, the number of EVs/plug-ins shipped is set to rise, as there is already a difference of more than 5,000 EVs/plug-ins compared to the numbers shipped in the first four months in 2013. Assuming an incremental growth rate, the EV industry could be boasting about one million vehicles by 2016.
In summary, three main catalysts are providing a promising industry outlook:
- The aspect of wireless charging is likely to inspire the development of more user-friendly, cost-effective and power efficient charging devices thereby boosting penetration.
- The government is playing its role in providing incentives for players to venture in the industry as the adoption of green energy products continues to grow.
- The current numbers indicate that the industry is responding positively, and hence this provides motivation for various auto-manufacturers to produce more EVs, which would then reduce the cost of purchasing EVs.
D. CarCharging Group's Value Proposition Is Interesting
CarCharging Group is currently valued at about $69M. The company trades at about $0.90 per share, which is 90.56 times its current annual sales per share.
This appears to be a pricey valuation for a company that still faces a stiff challenge of monetizing its assets. It is a hefty premium that investors would think twice before committing a dime. However, CCGI has the advantage of being an early stage company, where these levels of valuations are common.
Looking at the company's income statement, the picture gets worse as you approach the bottom of the statement. The company's operating loss of $19.3 million in 2013, compared to $5.1 million reported in the previous year says it all. It is a $14 million jump in the wrong direction.
However, optimistic investors could argue otherwise. When you look closer, there is a clear picture that the current numbers in the income statement are justified to some degree.
The acquisition of ECOtality's Blink Network assets along with various operational expenses related to the company's transition from development stage to growth stage played a big role in ballooning the operating loss.
For instance, the company posted a depreciation and amortization charge of $2.5M. Last year, there was no such charge on its income statement.
Additionally, as the company continued its transition from development stage, costs associated with service revenues increased to $744k compared to last year's 5k. Illustratively, the company's net service revenue margins squeezed to -127% compared to last year's margin of about +68%.
The company's operating expenses also soared massively to $11 million as compensations in the form of options and warrants increased due to the four acquisitions completed during the year.
In general, CarCharging Group is no longer the small development stage company it used to be. It has put in place the ideal foundation for growth. Unfortunately, expenditures associated with this expansion have hit first and massively, when compared to revenues.
Nonetheless, based on Q1 results, it appears as though the time for revenues to start streaming in, in millions, has just arrived. And based on its current valuation, this growth story could get much more interesting with time.
CarCharging Group is getting its revenue pipeline on track, a situation that could see its price soar significantly if the current p/s ratio is maintained over the next 1-2 years.
Based on the company's most recent quarter results (Q1, 2014), services revenue, which includes EV charging fees increased to $255,659. This suggests that, the company could easily breach the $1 million mark for service revenues in fiscal year 2014.
The company's overall revenues were $355,685, which suggests that the company could potentially report more than $1.4 million in revenues for year 2014.
The company seems poised to improve on last year's net loss as well. CarCharging posted a net loss of $0.49 per share in year 2013. However, based on Q1, 2014 run-rate for $0.05 loss per share, the company could post a loss of $0.20 per share, effectively cutting last year's loss by a massive 59%.
Could this be a source of investor optimism? Maybe, but the current valuation metric is already pegged at a hefty premium and probably, the best that could come out of it is retaining P/S at 90x.
Now, based on the current P/S ratio of about 90x, annual sales of $1.4M could translate to a valuation of $126 million for CarCharging Group, or about $1.62 per share, which represents at least 80% upside potential.
However, the biggest challenge for the company would be maintaining investor optimism to continue valuing the stock at p/s multiple of 90x.
If this is not achieved, a market correction could potentially wipe out this premium effectively affecting the projected valuation of $126 million.
However, signs of sustainable revenue growth could maintain investor optimism
One of the main reasons that CCGI has been able to maintain such a hefty premium on its valuation is because of the promise of the EV industry, and its gigantic market share. Investors seem to have a lot of faith in the EV industry, and CarCharging Group appears well placed to capitalize on the industry's rapid growth.
As noted earlier, the company has established a strong network with property owners, and also boasts the biggest share of the residential customers market, via the Blink HQ. However, in order to realize its potential, CCGI must optimally monetize its current assets, or at least show that it's on course to doing so.
Now, for the residential customers, the company currently has more than 35,000 registered members (including those from multi-residential premises), mostly acquired together with Blink Network's assets, and seeks to monetize every one of them.
As an incentive, the company is offering a $100 worth of kWh credits for residential customers who purchase the $700 EV chargers. This is likely to boost monetization of the members.
Now, assuming full monetization of these members, with each owning an EV, let's evaluate the potential revenues from the residential members.
In 2013, the average number of miles driven per person fell to about 9,400 for the year.
CarCharging group has an effective EV charging rate of $0.12 per kWh for the Nissan Leaf. This is the lowest rate, and we are going to use it in order to be as conservative as possible.
According to reports, on average, an EV consumes 30kWhs per 100 miles. There are some that consume more, like the Tesla Model S 35 kWhs per 100 miles, while Toyota Rav4 EV eats up 44 kWhs. The most power efficient EV is the new BMW i3, which consumes 27 kWhs per 100 miles.
Now, based on an average consumption rate of 30kWhs per 100 miles, an EV driver charging his vehicle at CarCharging Group's EV charging stations would have paid ~$338 in 2013 (9400/100*30*$0.12).
Assuming that all the 35,000 members are monetized within the next two years, then we are potentially looking at $11.8 million worth of revenues.
For commercial chargers, the company is giving property owners and retailers every reason to install its chargers at their locations as this is also bound to increase their revenues and profits.
According to Blink Network, business owners, retailers, and employers can reap significant benefits from the Blink Pedestal and Blink Wall Mount charging stations. They provide the ultimate in low cost, flexible deployment of chargers, from one unit to hundreds.
The property owners and businesses can also deduct up to 30% of costs associated with installation if they act before the end of 2014.
The company has also introduced measures to increase the uptake of its services by electing to offer the charging equipment to property owners/managers at no charge, but retaining the ownership and maintenance.
These measures could be very crucial in helping the company to monetize its commercial chargers.
Now, Blink network charges approximately $1 per every hour a vehicle is attached to one of its commercial chargers. Now, with near optimal monetization, each commercial charger could lock in about 8 hours of service to EVs. Note that to fully charge one EV using the level II charging stations, it takes between 4-8 hours depending on the EV.
Assuming the lower limit of 4 hours and a minimum of two vehicles per charging station, per day, then CarCharging Group could potentially register 8 hours of charging in each of its commercial EVs on average daily.
The company has more than 4,000 commercial EVs (adding the figures in the screen shot referenced earlier). So assuming 4,000 are active on near optimal monetization, then annual revenues could be estimated at $11.6 million (4,000*8*$1.00*365), assuming constant service every day for 365 days of the year.
Note that the $1.00 per hour charging fee (SEC Form 10k) is for Blink network clients, guests are charged at $1.50 per hour. This means that the current effective rate of $1.00 per hour could prove conservative in the end.
Now, assuming that the two classes of revenue do not cannibalize on each other (a residential customer only charges at home), then CarCharging Group has the potential to generate nearly $24 million worth of revenues by the end of 2016, and roughly $12 million by the end of 2015. In case of cannibalizations, those figures could be cut in half, assuming zero commercial customers (full cannibalization).
The above proposition for sustainable revenue growth provides some good optimism for investors to look forward to, with genuine products and services that could provide incremental revenues when optimally monetized.
Therefore, with this in mind there is a genuine chance that investors could be willing to pay the current premium on the stock as the company continues to shore up revenues. The $1.4 million sales for year 2014 are almost a certainty based on the current run rate, and this shows signs of growing monetization of the Blink Network.
Additionally, the overall personal services industry seems to attract heavy premiums. The industry is currently priced at 117.8x in price to earnings ratio (source: Yahoo finance). The price to free cash flow is pegged at -22x while CarCharging Group currently trades at -27x in P/FCF, which is not too far from the industry average.
Long-term looks even better
For long-term revenue growth, the company's alliance with major product developers like ChargePoint, Nissan and GE among others provide the incentive for expansion, as these provide it with a wide addressable market.
The industry is also providing the necessary motivation to both the EV manufacturers and EV Charger developers as it continues to show promising signs of growth. This is crucial for CarCharging Group ability to generate sustainable revenues and incremental margins for eventual profitability.
According to reports by the year 2030, there could be 40 million electric vehicles on the road. Now, with the current numbers standing at roughly 200,000 EVs/plug-in hybrids, and with the industry demonstrating accretive growth, one million EVs/plug-in hybrids do not seem far-off. In fact, EV manufacturers expect to have about 1.2 million EVs/plug-ins by the end of 2015.
Therefore 1 million EVs/plug-ins is a number achievable within the next 1-2 years as nearly all the leading auto-manufacturers are committed to launching an EV by 2015. This means that the industry could grow five-fold based on the current numbers.
If CarCharging Group retains its current monetization (i.e. $1.4M expected for 2014 for 200,000 EV industry), then we are looking at a potential $7-$8.4 million worth of revenues for year 2016.
Now, this means that in order for CarCharging Group to achieve $24 million in revenues or better by 2016, then it may have to increase its monetization rate by 300%. This figure looks practical, because after just nine months of acquiring ECOtality, the company is now generating more than $100,000 per month.
Note that the company acquired ECOtality Blink Network via bankruptcy auction, which means ECOtality was generating virtually nothing from the Blink Network assets. The prospect of the industry growing 5-fold eases pressure on CCGI to monetize Blink Network assets, as it provides ready market for the company. It is also an incentive to expand to other parts of the country.
The primary risks
It's a Micro-cap stock, which means High Risk
As a micro-cap stock, CarCharging Group is thinly traded and does potentially involve a lot of price manipulation. The stock's beta of 6.16 is a testament to its risk levels, and hence investors should exercise caution before making any bets.
Now, there are two types of investors who buy these types of stocks.
Speculators/manipulators are usually focused on pumping the stock in the short term only to dump it a few days or weeks later. Unaware investors often fall in the traps of speculators/manipulators and end up losing their money.
Then, there are those that buy the stock with a long-term view. These investors understand that early stage stocks present a potential upside in the long term. In most cases these stock tend to report deficits for extended periods, as they try to disrupt the market with various products.
However, when they turn profitable, gains are usually massive, but this could take quite a while before it happens. Therefore, some of these investors often run out of patience and join the first class of investors mentioned above in bid to recoup some of their investment.
Competitors are vertically integrating
First, CCGI is not the only player in the market, and some of its rivals who are also its partners, and are recognized brands worldwide. They pose significant threats by virtue of their sizes, as they enjoy huge financial muscles and brand loyalty.
Additionally, some of these rivals are also auto-manufactures, for instance Nissan and Tesla Motors, and have enough cash to launch massive projects. Their ability to integrate vertically could be vital in gaining market share at the expense of CarCharging Group, because they could easily sell their services together with the EVs.
Transitioning from development stage to growth stage will require effective cost management
The other key risk is the company's ability to trim its operating costs and R&D. CarCharging Group should expect to spend substantially during its transition from development stage to the next level.
Based on the company's recent results, there was a significant increment in operating costs and the cost of services, which are bound to continue growing as CCGI increases monetization.
This could delay the time it takes to turn profitable, if not managed well. Investors' first interest is evaluating the ability of the company to maintain sustainable revenue growth, but if profits are delayed for extended periods despite generating good revenues, then there is a risk that they could change their sentiments on the stock.
Therefore, this period calls for shrewd cost management in a bid to channel more cash to shareholders and for reinvestment in the business.
Monetizing current assets must start peaking
The company has been experiencing a challenging task in monetizing Blink Network's assets. In order for it to realize its potential, it has to overcome this challenge.
CCGI reported $255.6k revenues in Q1 2014, however, when we compare this to what was reported in Q4, 2013, there is a very slight change, which suggests that the monetization campaign is yet to gain the right momentum.
In Q1 of 2013, the company generated $10.5k in revenues, Q2, 2013 the figure was $32.2k, while in Q3, it reported $40.8k. This sums up to about $83.5k worth of service revenues for the first three quarters of 2013. Now, its full year 2013 service revenues came at $327.9k meaning it generated $244.4k in Q4, 2013.
This means that the company registered an improvement of just over 11k in Q1 2014 compared to Q4, 2013. That is roughly 4.5% sequential increase in revenues.
Therefore, despite the company's overall improvement from Q1 last year, the sequential improvement indicates that the momentum is building slowly.
Now, according to CEO Michael Farkas, monetization is the primary target in the short term, and based on the current monthly EV charging revenues of more than $100,000, he believes that CCGI is on the right track. It should be, because this is the only way to get to the next level.
Now, looking at the company's stock price over the last 12 months, the company has fallen nearly 30% despite the rising revenues. However, this still values the stock at more than 90x in P/S, which still appears pricey on general terms. Nonetheless, as mentioned earlier, the company's current stage in business means it is allowed to trade at those multiples.
Warrants and Options could derail uptrend
Finally, CarCharging Group has several outstanding warrants and stock options, paid out in form of compensations. Once the company reaches profitability, there could be rapid conversion of these warrants and options into common shares.
This could happen tentatively in three years' time, as most of them have a maturity period of three years and were issued last year. The subsequent sale of the converted securities in the stock market could affect the stock price.
However, at the current price of about $0.90 per share, the outstanding warrants and options carry hefty premiums in terms of the average exercise price, compared to the company's market price per share.
Stock Options
Source: CCGI SEC Form 10K 2013
CarCharging Group is currently trading at about 38% discount against the average exercise price for outstanding options, which are priced at $1.43 per common share. This means that the options are unlikely to affect the current price negatively in the near term, but could potentially prevent the stock price rising above this mark.
Source: CCGI SEC Form 10K 2013
The average price for the outstanding warrants is $1.42 per common share. Again, this prints a similar scenario like in the case of the outstanding options, as the current stock price is way below $1.42.
In general, the outstanding options and warrants do threaten the company's long-term market valuation. However, at an average of about $1.43 exercise price for the options and warrants, there is a lot of room to run for CCGI.
In fact, from another point of view, CarCharging Group would have to rally about 62.5% to trigger the average exercise price for the warrants and options. Nonetheless, this is still below the current value proposition of 80% upside potential. This means that they could potentially hold the stock from trading beyond $1.43 per share if converted to common shares.
CarCharging Group continues with its expansion across the country while growing its network by forming key alliances.
However, the most immediate task is to monetize Blink Network. This has not been very effective yet, but signs indicate that things could get better in the next few quarters.
The company also attracts significant amount of risks, one, typical of any micro-cap, early stage company, and two the obvious threat posed by partners and rivals, among others.
That said, investors have demonstrated optimism in the company's current valuation, despite the recent plunge. They also seem likely to continue valuing it at current p/s multiples on the expectation that the revenue department could get better thereby leading to profitability in the near future.
The bottom line is that the company seems to be on course to overcome the challenge of monetization, albeit slower than many would have hoped. This is a step forward no matter how small.
Additionally, the industry outlook promises room for growth, and CCGI's alliances with various product developers provides it with a widened addressable market.
Finally, as illustrated, CarCharging Group has laid down the foundation for sustainable revenue generation, with key incentives for customers and partners to utilize its products and services.
Now, with the company poised to report $1.4 million worth of revenues this year, and with the monetization campaign on course, investors seem more than likely to maintain the current valuation of the stock in P/S at 90x. This could result in $126M in valuation, or about $1.62 per share, representing 80% upside potential. Overall, the long-term risk/reward trade-off looks pretty interesting for CCGI.

Joe Biden Has "One Overwhelming Reason Not To Run For President"
At a union meeting Wednesday, the vice president showed off his inner gearhead.
WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden is pretty excited about the newest version of the Chevy Corvette. The top-of-the line Z06 model might even be enough to pull a man away from his presidential ambitions, Biden told a United Auto Workers union conference in DC Wednesday.
"Everyone wants to know whether or not I'm going to run for president," Biden said. "There's a lot of reasons to run for president, but there's one overwhelming reason not to run for president. I'd like to get that Z06 with 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. 3.4 seconds!"
"You tack that sucker up to six grand and this comes out of the hole like a bullet, man," Biden went on.
The vice president is the proud owner of a restored 1967 Vette, but he said his ride pales in comparison to the new version he saw unveiled when he visited the Detroit Auto Show last month.
"I still have my '67 Corvette. By the way, my grown sons had it rebuilt for me, and it cost seven times the sticker price, rebuilt. But it's a quarter horse, man. That's all it is, is a quarter horse," Biden said. "But that new Stingray, yoooo. Oh, it's more than a quarter horse, even though it goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds — not that I like speed. It also can track on a curve. It has a 106.7 inch wheelbase. It has more weight in the back, for the first time ever. And I could hardly wait, if I were just not in this job, to take on my friend's Porsche."
Biden's salivating over America's sports car had the crowd cheering and laughing at the UAW convention. But Biden wasn't done making his pitch for the 2015 Corvette.
"I'm serious," Biden said. "It's the best buy in America!"

Lady Knights Head Coach David Hibbard said his team had been working to perform when the pressure was on. Perhaps that work paid off, as the Lady Knights won two straight close sets to defeat the Thomas Nelson Generals, 25-16, 25-23, 26-24, at the Roby Dome on Oct. 3.
"This was one of the most consistently solid performances of the season," Hibbard said. "We played at the same level for three straight sets, which is something we have been working very hard to do. Our offense clicked very well with us," Hibbard said.
Madison, left, and Morgan Hardin ran in the Bourbon Festival Spirit 5K held in Bardstown, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016 and won top honors. Madison, 13, an eighth grader at Lebanon Middle School, won first place overall female. Morgan, 10, a fifth grader at Calvary Elementary, won first place female age 18 and under. They are the daughters of Michelle Cash of Lebanon and the late John Hardin. Their grandmother is Wanda Perkins of Lebanon.
Gary Wilkerson and his 10-year-old son, Cade, ran the Pokey Pig 5K and decided to add the firefighter challenge to the race, which means they ran the race in full turnout out gear. "Lebanon's next recruit in training," Gary said.
The Marion County Lady Knights have now won more games this season than they did in the previous two seasons combined.
A 2-1 win against the Breckinridge County Lady Tigers (2-12) gave the Lady Knights (2-11-1) their second win of the season.
"It was good to get another win," Lady Knights Head Coach Daniel Johnson said. "We did many things well on offense and we were able to put people in different positions and played well."
The Marion County Knights' losing streak has reached six games after a 57-21 loss against the West Jessamine Colts on Friday, Sept. 30. The loss sent the Knights to 1-6.
"We actually came out playing good football," Knights Head Coach Allen Harmon said. "However, later on, we had some breakdowns in the secondary that allowed them to score."
The Colts (3-4) would take advantage of the breakdowns in the Knights secondary several times in the first half to take a 37-6 lead into the half.
Two goals in five minutes. Four goals in 10 minutes, and six goals by halftime. The No. 9 Mercer County Titans turned their game against the Marion County Knights on Sept. 27 into a 9-0 blowout win behind a quick start and missed opportunities by the Knights who were in action for the first time since clinching the No. 1 seed in the district tournament.
Poor defensive play doomed the Marion County Lady Knights in a loss against the Russell County Lakers on Sept. 26. The Lady Knights lost 19-25, 23-25.
"We were totally undisciplined in our defensive rotations tonight," Lady Knights Head Coach David Hibbard said. "We simply could not keep the Lakers from doing whatever they wanted on offense. We tried to make rallies in both sets at the end but our defense simply let us down. We also did not handle their aggressive serving well. This was one of our worst serve-receive matches of the whole season.
he 2016 Tri-County Trifecta was completed this past Saturday. The overall champions of the three races were David Winebrenner Jr, in the male category, and Madison Hardin in the female category, both of Lebanon.
Complete race results are listed at www.headfirstperformance.com.
Sports are unpredictable, and that's what makes them exciting. That's what makes people watch, and that's one of the many reasons the stadiums are filled.
Bryce Spalding missed a trip to the state tournament by one shot, and the Knights, finishing with a team score of 346, failed to advance to the state tournament as well. The Knights' season came to an end at the regional tournament at the Bardstown Country Club at Maywood last week.
Head Coach Joey Reed remained positive despite the disappointing end to his first season as the head coach.

I have an server client application. Server is Java application and client is an android client. I am streaming data using RTSP. I am using the Live555 server for streaming. I can see some constant 2-3 seconds of delay between server and client. When used gives some input by touch, its effect can be seen at server instantly but it takes 2-3 second for the effect to be visible on client. I have used VideoView Widget of Android to play the stream
To make sure I am not using Live555 server in a wrong way, I used live555MediaServer.exe to stream data and vlc client on my android tab. I also used vlc server top stream data and vlc client on android. Still there is some lag of 2 seconds.
Now we are planning to shift to Wowza server but I have some basic doubts about RTSP Streaming
PS: I have very good network bandwidth
So I have 2 questions
Is RTSP meant to be used for interactive application where user given some event as input or its meant to stream videos, CCTV camera feeds where 2-3 seconds delay does not hurt ?
If RTSP can be used for interactive applications, is Wowza implementation good enough for that ? I need an delay of <500ms .
Is RTSP supposed to have some minimum possible delay ?

Turn Extra Space Into Your Personal Fitness Retreat
On the surface, the dark, old-fashioned kitchen needed an update. But of deeper concern was the poor layout. Cabinets and appliances lined the walls, leaving an unused area at the center, and the pellet stove occupied more potential storage space. To maximize efficiency, the stove was replaced with an L-shaped counter that houses the range, sink, and dishwasher and doubles as a breakfast bar
Located in upstate New York, this weekend home was a welcome retreat for its New York City-based owners, despite the far-from-inviting kitchen. The homeowners were willing to give us full rein in the redesign, with just a couple of caveats. One, the chosen materials must be easy to maintain, as it's a weekend house, and two, the overall look should stay true to the home's country roots. Partnering with the Home Depot and you, our readers, Country Living undertook this project with a real sense of excitement. Three prospective floor plans were developed by the store's in-house designer and put to a vote on our Website. We also asked you to choose the room's flooring, cabinets, countertops, and appliances from a selection of the Home Depot's products. Nearly 10,000 votes were cast, and the stunning results prove what we've known all along: Our readers have great taste.

2/5 for the scent, for example Alba Botanica Hawaiian Shampoo have so much better scent. IMO this hemp + Argan Oil shampoo has a slight pungent odour. Made my hair very smooth with first wash but somehow that feature now seems to be disappeared. Affordable for the size (18 oz, 532ml).

Stay At Home Motherhood Isn't A Luxury, Census Data Shows
Some have suggested Americans won't identify with Ann Romney because stay-at-home motherhood is increasingly an upper-class luxury. The numbers don't back up that anecdotal impression.
With the presidential election campaign turning today into a battle over stay-at-home-motherhood, some have suggested that the Romney campaign's aggressive defense of Ann Romney's stay-at-home motherhood could backfire. There's been a great deal of talk about the "opt-out revolution" among professional women who stay home, even as working class parents have been forced by men's stagnant wages to work more and more jobs and hours.
@BuzzFeedBen No, here's the political risk to Mitt: at-home motherhood is increasingly a class marker, not a culture marker.— davidfrum (@davidfrum) April 12, 2012
The data, though, don't support the impression that staying at home is a luxury. A detailed 2010 study by two Census Bureau sociologist, in fact, found the opposite: While stay-at-home motherhood has become less common over time, the women who stay at home are increasingly those whose low education means they can't earn enough money to making working outside the home worthwhile.
"The main effect showed that compared with 1969, women with less than a high school degres were more likely o be a state-at-home mother than women with a high school degree," the study's authors, Rose Kreider and Diana Elliott, wrote, a trend that "accentuated in later decades."
"Women with less than a high school degree were even more likely than those with a high school degree to be a stay-at-home mother in later decades than in 1969," they wrote. "As women gained more education and were able to get better jobs, they did so, and the opportunity cost of staying out of the labor force grew for those with more education. So those with the least education now the most likely to stay out of the labor roces as stat-at home mothers."
That's probably not Ann Romney's story: Her husband could certainly afford day care, and her education would have allowed her, if she wanted, to work outside the home and pay for it.
"People think stay-at-home moms are the rich folks," Romney supporter Penny Nancy said on a conference call with reporters today. The Romney campaign is betting that perception is wrong, and the statistics back them up.
