Rob Day over at Cleantech Investing has started a series of "Year End Thoughts" on various cleantech investing topics. His first one deals with Solar and is great read. [ more ]
DynaMotive Energy Systems Corp. (DYMTF) announced today that the Company and Mitsubishi Canada Ltd., have entered into a wide-ranging Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") which expresses their mutual intentions to develop definitive agreements for marketing and distribution of DynaMotive's patented technology in Canada and internationally. [ more ]
Clean Break has more to say about this agreement as well. [ more ]
This is the second MOU announcement they have made in the last month and it looks like something is happening here. This stock has been moving strong this last month and it has piqued my interest. I will have to take a closer look at it and I have added it to my potential buylist.
Hydrogenics Corp (HYGS) has issued two press releases today.
First they have received a series of purchase orders from General Motors Corporation for fuel cell test services anticipated to be delivered in 2006. HYGS gave GM common share purchase warrants as part of an agreement in 2001. The proceeds for the new testing contract were used to re-purchase these warrants back from GM. [ more ]
HYGS also announced that it has been awarded a US$8 million Fuel Cell contract for multiple units of its HyPM® 500 Series Fuel Cell Power Modules from a world leading military OEM. The power modules, representing in aggregate over 600 kW of power capacity, will be delivered over a two year period starting in 2006. The modules will be used for an undisclosed application. [ more ]
The GM news will not really affect the bottom line profits for the company, but I view this action as a inventive stock buyback plan. I'm always happy when a company is willing to purchase their own stock. The news regarding the $8 million is also very good for the company, albiet it is a little vague on details. If they are selling to an undisclosed foreign military that the world community is not happy with (i.e. North Korean, Iran, etc.), then this could cause some major grief in the future.
The markets also like this news this morning. The stock is currently trading up over 14% pre-market.
Wouldn't you know it, right after I posted about this company and complained that I couldn't buy it, I checked my brokerage account to see if there was any movement to my open market order. Well the IntraWeb gods must have been smiling on me, I got a partial fill in my personal account.
So I now have a small stake in Carmanah Tech Corp (CMH.V) at a price of $3.0525.
Maybe I should post my complaints more often :-)

Carmanah Tech Corp (CMH.V) announced that the Company has received a letter of intent confirming a forth-coming contract in the amount of $1,000,196 from the City of Toronto for a 100 kW solar power system to be installed on the roof of the Horse Palace at Exhibition Place.
Carmanah will install a state-of-the-art 100 kW solar power system on Exhibition Place that is tied to the conventional electricity grid. The system uses high efficiency solar modules and a unique penetrationless racking system. An educational display in the lobby will show the public how much power is being produced, environmental conditions as well as historical system performance data. It is estimated this system will reduce the annual carbon dioxide emissions of this facility by approximately 94.7 tonnes per year. [ more ]
Tyler at Clean Break was able to interview the company for a Toronto Star article and has more details at his website. [ more ]
When you read Tyler's post you will notice he loves this company. What's not to love when you find a small company like this that is making money and showing profits. I would love to own this company as well.
I have been trying off and on for a couple of months to buy the stock here in the US. The stock trades locally as a pink sheet ( CMHXF.PK ) but has zero volume. I have called my broker and they will be willing to purchase the stock via the Vancouver exchange, but at a cost that is prohibitive.
The good news is that the company is making plans to move to a major Canadian exchange soon which may help increase the ability to purchase the stock.
Worldwater Corp (WWAT) announced that it has signed a $1,145,800 contract to build and install a solar electric power generation system for Quality Embroidery in Los Angeles, California. The photovoltaic (PV) system will provide electricity for the company, and is expected to substantially reduce electrical usage costs for the facility.
With the signing of this contract, on top of its earlier announced 2005 contract backlog of $23 million, the Company issued Revenue Guidance for 2006, projecting Revenue of $25 million to $35 million. [ more ]
I have tracked World Water for a while and I recently received a question about my thoughts on this company. The good about this company is that I like the businesses they are in (both Water and Solar.) They have created a nice niche for themselves in selling solar powered pumps to the agricultural industries. They are also trying to branch out into pure solar installations as well, as referenced in the press release above. Another plus is that they appear to be a fully SEC reporting company. This helps a great deal when your doing due diligence on these small companies.
This company should be considered very risky and is a true penny stock. They have a very negative trend when it comes to profits and the losses have been growing each year. A quick check of the insider transactions shows that there is nothing but selling. This is never a good sign.
The biggest problem I have with this company is that its very popular with many of the penny stock pump-n-dumpers. You will frequently see this name on various spam e-mails touting the stock when it gets down into the 10-20 cent range. It will quickly rise up and then sell off again.
If you are a trader, this maybe one of those times that you can play this stock since it is at the lower end of this cycle.
Like I said, I like the business model but for me personally, I'm staying away from this company until they change their loosing direction.
Honda Motor Co (HMC) plans to start mass-producing solar cells in 2007, eyeing growing demand for environmentally friendly energy sources. They will build a new factory for thin-film solar cells on the site of a car plant in Kumamoto. The company aims to generate annual sales of $40 million to $70 million from solar cells once the factory's output reaches full annual capacity of 27.5 megawatts, enough to power about 8,000 households.

Enova Systems Inc (ENOV) announced that it has entered into a joint School Bus program with a major North American Truck Manufacturer. The School Bus project will feature Enova's post transmission 80 kW Hybrid Drive System and has the potential to lead to future production in 2006 and beyond. [ more ]
They have also recently announced a partnership with First Auto Works (FAW) of China to supply their 80kW Parallel Hybrid Drive system for "Hybrid City Bus."
FAW is the largest automobile manufacturer in China and with its expertise in not only buses, but also automobiles and trucks, allows Enova a major opportunity to capture additional market share for both light and heavy-duty vehicles throughout China and other parts of Asia. [ more ]
SunPower Corporation (SPWR) announced its largest ever product supply contract. The supply agreement with PowerLight Corp., a global solar systems provider, calls for the delivery of $330 million of solar panels from 2005 through 2009. SunPower's industry-leading products will be incorporated into PowerLight's advanced solar power systems for commercial, government and new home residential customers worldwide. [ more ]
SunPower is trading up over 6% today on the news.
BMW is unveiling its turbosteamer hybrid engine, which uses the excess heat in the exhaust system and reclaims 80% of it by powering a steam engine that assists the gas engine. Overall, this gives a 15% more efficient engine; and significant additional performance (power and torque) with practically no downside. [ more ] (via /.)
Fuelcell Energy Inc (FCEL) reported 4th Quarter earnings of a net loss of $0.40 per share. This is $0.02 better than estimates. However the revenues for the year are 10% less than expected.
The focus for the next year is continue to penetrate into markets where they currently have business.
FuelCell Energy and its distribution partners continue to penetrate repeatable markets worldwide. The Company believes initiatives already underway establish a strong platform for heading into Fiscal Year 2006. In developing repeatable markets, the Company has installed or in backlog approximately 23 megawatts that extend across key industry sectors and important geographic regions.
Megawatts installed or in backlog in significant geographic markets:
-- Japan/Korea -- 8.25 MW
-- California -- 7.00 MW
-- Europe -- 4.25 MW
-- Other U.S. -- 4.50 MW
Megawatts installed or in backlog in key repeatable market applications:
-- Wastewater Treatment -- 4.25 MW
-- Hotels/Hospitality -- 2.75 MW
-- Manufacturing-- 2.25 MW
-- Government/Institutional -- 2.25 MW
Focus for 2006
FuelCell Energy's product availability and performance, meeting of customer expectations, growing repeatable business, continuing cost reductions and strong financial condition position the Company to increase sales to these growing markets. [ more ]
The stock is currently flat in pre-market trading, but I would not be surprised to see it trade down on the news due to the miss on revenue estimates. The company has been working hard to reduce expenses and it looks like they have been successful by reducing their losses. But they still need to concentrate on getting new customers and installations. The stock has been trending down recently but has some support at the $8 level. I may add to my position in this stock if we see some weakness in the stock today.
Shares of Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (STP) started trading yesterday and the stock closed with a 34% gain on the day. Suntech is a solar PV manufacture based in China's Jiangsu Province. They plan on using this cash infusion to expand manufacturing capacity and to research ways of lowering the cost of producing silicon solar cells.
This stock is one way to purchase shares in two hot areas right now (Solar and China.)
I'm not able to purchase shares in this company yet for the mutual fund since Marketocracy doesn't list this company yet. I'm currently heavily weighted in solar shares in my personal portfolio and I am holding off on purchasing this company for now.
FPL Group Inc (FPL) is currently in the advanced stages of negotiations to acquire Constellation Energy Group (CEG). An FPL-Constellation merger would create a giant East Coast-based utility with a market capitalization, based on Tuesday's closing stock prices, of $26.97 billion - $16.93 billion for FPL and $10.04 billion for Constellation.
Constellation Energy Group is based out of Baltimore Maryland and is the holding company for Baltimore Gas and Electric. They also have an extensive presence in the wholesale power supply and generation business. The Power Generation Division currently uses 4.6% alternative sources for power generation.
FPL has a strong commitment to alternative energy generation and is one of the largest utilities in the US utilizing extensive wind farms. CEG has a large footprint in Nuclear power generation and the combination of these two companies would make a top-tier producer of power generation for the East coast markets and a potential of 30,000 megawatts of power generation. CEG also gives FPL the ability to enter the wholesale supply side of the power generation business.
Typically you would see shares of the acquiring company down and shares of the acquired company up with this type of announcement. The market is liking this potential merger and CEG is up over 7% and FPL is also trading up 0.6% this morning.
Hydrogenics Corp (HYGS) announced that it has sold a hydrogen reformer and refueling system to Korean Gas Technology Corporation (KOGAS-Tech). The reformer will generate hydrogen by reforming natural gas and will be installed at the Korea Gas research and development facility in Incheon, near Seoul. The hydrogen produced will be used for refueling vehicles.
The reformer will be able to generate 65 kilograms of hydrogen a day, which is enough to refuel approximately 20 fuel cell powered vehicles. The reformer and refueling system is anticipated to be delivered and installed by June 2006. [ more ]
XSUNX Inc. (XSNX) announced that it has accepted $5,000,000 in financing from Cornell Capital Partners, LP to help drive the continued development and growth of the Company.
Under the terms of the new financing, the Company would begin receiving the influx of growth capital immediately allowing for a more rapid acceleration of R&D and the initiation of business development efforts. [ more ]

The New York Stock Exchange has officially delisted Calpine Corp. and the stock is now currently trading over-the-counter as a pink sheet with the following ticker: CPNL.PK.
Capstone Turbine Corp (CPTC) announced that next month the company will begin shipping an enhanced line of 65-kilowatt microturbine models that will replace its popular C60 series of power and heat generators.
The new natural gas fueled C65 and C65-ICHP (with factory-integrated heat recovery) will deliver higher electrical and thermal output without any change to the product's weight and dimensions, which are much lighter and more compact than similar capacity generators. This reduces footprint requirements and enables greater flexibility in indoor, outdoor and rooftop setting. [ more ]
Capstone also released news that the new C65 model will also be retrofitted so that it can use waste gases from landfills and sewage treatment plants as an alternative to natural gas. The stock gapped up this morning over 6% and looks like it is trading nicely off the current near-term support levels of $3.50.
I will be adding to my current holdings of this stock this morning in the Marketocracy mutual fund. This will bring my total up to 2/3rds of my planned holdings for this stock.
Energy Conversion Devices Inc (ENER) announced that it has signed an agreement with Actus Lend Lease to supply 7MW of photovoltaic (PV) products. The solar network will pump clean energy into the Army's power grid and is designed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by 30 percent for the entire complex of 7,894 new and renovated homes that Actus Lend Lease plans for Army families on Oahu. The captured energy also will help power 11 community centers and maintenance offices that will be built among the new and renovated homes. [ more ]
The stock is trading up over 5% today on this news.
Li-ion Motors. (HYBT) has inked a deal with Frito Lay to provide Hybrid Technologies' Lithium vehicles as part of their fleet sales program.
Frito Lay has agreed to purchase and take delivery of the Lithium Mini Cooper model as well as the Daimler Chrysler Smart Car Lithium version. The first deliveries are scheduled for the first quarter of 2006. These vehicles will be part of Frito Lay's Hybrid fleet and the corporation's commitment to "green philosophy" as well as its well known philosophy of working with the latest in American technology. [ more ]
You would have thought that Frito Lay would have gone for a Bio-Diesel solution :-)
Millennium Cell Inc (MCEL) announced that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Program contract by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command. The Company will assess the feasibility of operating its hydrogen battery technology in conjunction with a 5kW PEM-based fuel cell using water containing a variety of impurities. Preliminary tests conducted by Millennium Cell suggest salt water and other non-potable water may be adequate for use with the Company's Hydrogen on Demand® technology. [ more ]
XSUNX Inc. (XSNX) is working with current manufactures of glass and thin-film products so that they can incorporate their PowerGlass technology into future R&D plans for the manufactures.
The Company is providing these manufacturers with samples of Power Glass thin films and plans to adapt the on-going results of these working relationships into its manufacturing process line to meet the needs of its future licensees. [ more ]
XsunX has been getting a great deal of press recently and it looks like the PR engine is going full steam. They are also featured in a Business 2.0 article about their technology. [ more ]
What we are not seeing is news about the next phase of development, or even news of prototype production. This is why the stock is still sitting at its current price range. I still think the stock is fairly priced at this level and may consider adding a second third down here.
Calpine Corp. (CPN) shares are down another 20% again today and are now down in the 20-30 cent range. They were given notice today by a Delaware judge that they have until January 22 to repay $313 million owed to bondholders. [ more ]
Moody's has also downgraded their corporate bonds to junk bond Ca stauts (10 levels below investment grade.) [ more ]
Calpine was kicked out of the S&P 500 recently and now they are looking like they will declare bankruptcy. Boy the hits just keep on coming.
I read several financial sites and feeds throughout the day and I have an entire section devoted to various stock blogs in my Bloglines feed reader account. A post on Andrew Tobias's website today really caught my attention where he was talking about his $100,000 "idea� contest.
In response to the $100,000 "idea� contest, Alan Q writes: "Here's mine and it's a damn fine idea. Building on the success of the X Prize in reusable spacecraft: Expand government funded X Prizes in areas where innovation is vital to the nation's economic future and national security. For example:Well I thought that was sure genius and wanted to bring it to your attention. Think of the impact of taking this type of concept to the next level. An X-Prize for Alternative Energy! Ok Carmack, are you up to the task?
- $40 billion in cash and 20-year federal tax forgiveness (both can be adjusted) to the first automobile company that puts a million hydrogen-based cars in the hands of consumers. The company must demonstrate that it is covering the cost of production in the price it charges.
- $10 billion in cash and 20-year federal tax forgiveness to the first developer that builds and fills (at least) a 500-home development that is completely powered through renewable energy (solar, wind, etc). Again, it must be shown that the price of the homes truly reflects costs.
"These are just a couple of ideas where these kinds of prizes would spur innovation, yet the cost to the government would be, relatively speaking, pocket change.

NATO Parliamentarians urge Ukraines leaders to seize window of opportunity as tensions rise
14 February 2014 - Following meetings in Kyiv, NATO PA members expressed grave concerns about the tense stand-off between the government, opposition, and the Maidan protest.
Assembly President Hugh Bayley urged leaders on all sides to exercise restraint and reach rapid agreements on constitutional reform and an interim power-sharing arrangement.
"All those involved agree that the way forward must include constitutional reform," said Mr Bayley, "but disagreement remains about some key provisions of that reform and how to proceed. There is no time for delay. Tensions are rising, and people expect to see progress, even if that means agreeing on an interim solution."
Members recognized that the resignation of the government and the progressive release of protestors under the new amnesty law had done much to create space for further discussions and the achievement of compromise. These should be followed up with the identification and prosecution of those responsible for unprovoked acts of violence against demonstrators and journalists. This would be a key confidence-building measure which would help to reduce tension and calm the evident sense of public outrage.
Briefings from political leaders and economic experts underlined the urgency of solving the current crisis. Steps must be taken to deal with rising economic problems which, if unchecked, could create further social problems.
All Ukrainian interlocutors stressed that European integration remains the key foreign policy objective of the country, but the disagreement about how to achieve that, and specifically the government's reversal of its position on signing an association agreement with the European Union, have evolved into a dispute about more general political reform. Indeed, Ukraine faces fundamental choices about governance.
"It is not a choice between the East and the West but the choice between the past and the future", said Mr Bayley.
Mr Bayley also stressed that Ukraine's partnership with NATO is highly valued. Uniquely among partners, Ukrainian forces had participated in every single NATO-led operation since the end of the Cold War. The Assembly too had a long-standing record of close cooperation with the Verkhovna Rada and wished to see Ukraine move beyond the current crisis as rapidly as possible.
"I am gravely concerned by the situation in Kyiv but I was impressed by leaders from all parts of the political spectrum, including those in the Maidan. I believe there is a window of opportunity for a negotiated way forward and I urge all parties to seize this opportunity without delay", Mr Bayley concluded.
A group of 21 legislators from 13 countries of the Alliance met with their Ukrainian counterparts, representing both the Party of Regions and the opposition, on 10 and 11 February in the format of the Ukraine-NATO Interparliamentary Council (UNIC). Participants discussed current developments in Ukraine as well as NATO-Ukraine co operation with government officials, independent experts, representatives of civil society, media, business and diplomatic communities. The UNIC meeting was followed by a Presidential visit during which Mr Bayley and the Assembly's rapporteur on Ukraine Witold Waszczykowski met with the speaker of the parliament Volodimir Rybak, Minister of Foreign Affairs Leonid Kozhara, other state officials as well as leaders of the opposition parties.

KeywordSediment transport; Erodibility; DDT; PCBs; Numerical model; USA; California; Palos Verdes
Sediment transport and the potential for erosion or deposition have been investigated on the Palos Verdes (PV) and San Pedro shelves in southern California to help assess the fate of an effluent-affected deposit contaminated with DDT and PCBs. Bottom boundary layer measurements at two 60-m sites in spring 2004 were used to set model parameters and evaluate a one-dimensional (vertical) model of local, steady-state resuspension, and suspended-sediment transport. The model demonstrated skill (Brier scores up to 0.75) reproducing the magnitudes of bottom shear stress, current speeds, and suspended-sediment concentrations measured during an April transport event, but the model tended to underpredict observed rotation in the bottom-boundary layer, possibly because the model did not account for the effects of temperature–salinity stratification. The model was run with wave input estimated from a nearby buoy and current input from four to six years of measurements at thirteen sites on the 35- and 65-m isobaths on the PV and San Pedro shelves. Sediment characteristics and erodibility were based on gentle wet-sieve analysis and erosion-chamber measurements. Modeled flow and sediment transport were mostly alongshelf toward the northwest on the PV shelf with a significant offshore component. The 95th percentile of bottom shear stresses ranged from 0.09 to 0.16 Pa at the 65-m sites, and the lowest values were in the middle of the PV shelf, near the Whites Point sewage outfalls where the effluent-affected layer is thickest. Long-term mean transport rates varied from 0.9 to 4.8 metric tons m−1 yr−1 along the 65-m isobaths on the PV shelf, and were much higher at the 35-m sites. Gradients in modeled alongshore transport rates suggest that, in the absence of a supply of sediment from the outfalls or PV coast, erosion at rates of not, vert, similar0.2 mm yr−1 might occur in the region southeast of the outfalls. These rates are small compared to some estimates of background natural sedimentation rates (not, vert, similar5 mm yr−1), but do not preclude higher localized rates near abrupt transitions in sediment characteristics. However, low particle settling velocities and strong currents result in transport length-scales that are long relative to the narrow width of the PV shelf, which combined with the significant offshore component in transport, means that transport of resuspended sediment towards deep water is as likely as transport along the axis of the effluent-affected deposit.

The gains made by key stock markets this year mean that 2014 will be a 'choppy sideways kind of year' for investors in developed market equities, according to John Ventre, head of multi-asset management at Old Mutual Global Investors.
The gains made by key stock markets this year mean that 2014 will be a 'choppy sideways kind of year' for investors in developed market equities, according to John Ventre, head of multi-asset management at Old Mutual Global Investors.
Ventre commented that while he is 'broadly optimistic' regarding the prospects for UK equities, the double-digit levels of return delivered by the index this year will not be a feature of 2014.
But he is more pessimistic regarding the prospects for US equities in the coming year.
'My reason for being more pessimistic regarding US equities than UK equities is purely based on valuations,' said Ventre. 'There is an awful lot of good news priced into US equity valuations. The consensus is very positive on the US, but sometimes following the consensus view can be dangerous.'
Ventre added that whilst he had been 'very very profitably bullish' on Eurozone equities earlier in the year, he was quite pessimistic for the prospects of the asset class in 2014.
He elaborated, 'The new year will be a year of deleveraging and stress testing in the Eurozone and its banks.'
Deleveraging is the process of banks writing down the value of potential bad debts currently held on balance sheets, and of trying to sell parcels of these loans if possible.
Stress tests are carried out by financial regulators to ascertain the true strength of banks' balance sheets, in order to prevent a future crisis emerging.
These constraints on banks are likely to contribute considerable volatility to Eurozone equity markets in the coming year, and if the proportion of bad loans is significant, could restrict lending within the Eurozone.
This latter fear over lending is part of the reason for the European Central Bank president Mario Draghi's decision to cut Eurozone interest rates in November.
Ventre contended that the Eurozone is for long-term investors only, and that if one were constructing a portfolio in the present climate that was designed to be for the longer-term one would not invest in Eurozone banks.
On emerging markets, Ventre said, 'I don't believe investors should treat emerging markets as just one asset class. There are more differences between many of the countries in this category than there are similarities.
'Certainly the varied basket of assets called commodities have more in common with each other than do many parts of what are classified within the emerging markets index.'
The one asset class on which Ventre was happy to paint a positive picture is that of Asian equities.
He told What Investment that the recent policy changes announced as part of the Chinese plenum made Chinese equities 'significantly' more investable, whilst there is potential to gain from Japanese equities on a more tactical basis. 'The markets are very quick to price in good news on Japan,' he stated.

2012 In Weird Florida Sex: Part Two of the WTF Florida Awards
Welcome to the first annual WTF Florida Awards ceremony. It's the only award show celebrating the special brand of bizarre depravity we excel at down here in the Sunshine State. Black tie isn't required. In fact, jorts and a NASCAR cap are preferred.
Yesterday we gave out awards for political fuckery. Today, we'll be giving out awards for actual fuckery in our highly anticipated sex category.

Disgusting Achievement in Public Sex
Get a room you two. No seriously, get a room. The nominees:
- Jeremie Calo and Tiffani Lynn Barganier for having sex on an outdoor table at an Orlando Paddy Murphy's in view of children [source].
- Amber Mumma and Marcelo Gonzalez for having sex against a car in the parking lot of a Tampa pool hall while several people watched. [source]
- Matthew Rayfield and Diane Orosz for having sex in full view of boats passing by on the Intracoastal Waterway. [source]
And the winner is: Jeremie Calo and Tiffani Lynn Barganier
We imagine a place called Paddy Murphy's to be one of the least sexy places in existence, but that didn't stop these two from fornicating on top of a table in view of everyone, including children. The pair wouldn't even stop when a manager asked them to. To make matters worse, Calo ended up threatening to run out on his tab and vomited all over the floor.
Special Achievement in Masturbation
We all do it. Some of us just get more attention for it. The nominees:
- Tracy Mabb for getting naked and touching herself in the middle of an intersection [source]
- Ashley Holton for backing up traffic as she touched herself on the side of a highway [source]
- Jeffery Marriott for whacking in his front yard, and leaving an "unknown clear liquid substance" on his door knob when cops came. [source]
- Jennifer Piranian for masturbating at a Starbucks. [source]
- Unknown man who had to show a police officer his genital rash to prove he wasn't masturbating in public, but merely itching himself. [source]
And the winner is: Tracy Mabb.
Yes, it was the mugshot.
Adult Entertainer of the Year
Some porn stars are actually upstanding members of the community. Others, well ... The nominees:
- Jessica and Monica Sexxxton, Tampa's Mother-Daughter Porn Duo [source]
- Sara Jay and Angelina Castro for promising blow jobs to all if the Miami Heat won the NBA Championship [source]
- Dallas Reeves for allegedly helping a Speedo-clad friend do a little cocaine on a Wilton Manors gay pride parade float. [source
- Sebastian Young for racking up his 13th Florida mugshot [very NSFW source]
- Sunny Dae for getting 40 years in prison after assisting in the murder of a man at a New Port Richey sex party. [source]

CRICKETER Alastair Cook is set to be awarded with an honorary degree from Essex University.
The England test captain will be presented with the degree at a ceremony at the uni's Colchester campus on April 10.
Since becoming captain in August 2012, Cook, who grew up in Great Totham, has broken several English run records, including becoming the country's leading century-maker and the youngest player to pass 7,000 runs.
Professor Jules Pretty, Essex University Deputy Vice-Chancellor, said: "Alastair Cook has become one of Essex and England's finest cricketers and this is a welcome opportunity to acknowledge his contribution to both the sport and the county.
"It will be an honour for our students, staff and guests to be able to hear first-hand about his approach to excellence in cricket and his world-class sporting achievements at the ceremony."
Cook, 28, made his first-class debut for Essex in 2003 and previously played for Maldon Cricket Club.

I deliberately ignored all the warning voices inside me and enjoyed the time by his side almost until the bitter end.
Take the semifinal for what it was: a battle to the bitter end between two proud football nations.
Custer was played as a cliché of grit and courage, jaw clenched with resolve as he fought to the bitter end.
The Aughts went out like a cranky kid last night, kicking and screaming until the bitter end.
No one was quite sure how Pepper made it to the bitter end, except that the show's producers loved the drama she provoked.
If he was to learn how the man Cohen had died, he must follow the same path to the bitter end.
I fought to the bitter end with my fists, feet, head, and teeth.
Wilmarth is offered a large price for his quarter-share, but he resolves to fight to the bitter end.
Now we've begun, we'll go through to the bitter end, if you please.
But they are deaf and blind to the things of God; so the awful indictment must proceed to the bitter end.
In lexicons of sea language going back to 1759, the bitter end is the part of a cable which is round about the bits (two great timbers used to belay cables) when the ship is at anchor.
Bitter end of the Cable, the End which is wound about the Bitts. ["The News-Readers Pocket-Book: Or, a Military Dictionary," London, 1759]See bit (n.1). So, when a cable is played out to the bitter end, there is no more left to play. The term began to be used c.1835 in non-nautical use and with probable influence of bitter (adj.).

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Just did not love this one. Liked it enough to finish it, but that's about it.
I enjoy the work of Zadie Smith and there is a reason that she generally makes it in to the top choices for the Women's Prize, but this book was a little too scattered for me to focus on. I listened to the audio version while on a road trip, so that could be part of the issue. Perhaps I would have gotten more out of the book if I had held it in my hand and seen the words on the page. This is definitely a book that has to have your attention in order to enjoy.
This isn't to say that I hated the book, I just found myself lost so often that it was a little frustrating. I enjoyed the characters and even though they didn't necessarily have a journey or feel like there was a purpose, there was a transition that I could feel, even though my jumbled understanding of what was going on. I want to give this book another try, probably reading it on the page this time.
Fiction about various residents of Caldwell in North West London. While much of the book was engaging, I wouldn't say particularly outstanding. And I was disappointed with the ending, it just seemed to stop rather than coming to any sort of conclusion. I keep being recommended the author, but this is the second of her books that I have read and found underwhelming; I don't think I will read any more.
The story of two thirty-something women, Leah and Natalie (formerly Keisha) who grew up in the NW6 area of London. This novel is very disjointed, requires concentration by the reader, and has little plot, but I loved it. Great voice, highly original, paints a vivid picture of this section of London life.
I wrote that two days ago. I'm still thinking about this novel and how much I enjoyed it, even though at times I didn't understand it. I really want to go out and read something else by Zadie Smith.
If you're hesitating about reading this, I say that you give it a chance. I can see it's not for everyone, but maybe, like me, it's awesome for you.
Here's another book that I picked up with interest, only to quickly abandon for some other title that held more promise, only to pick up again with good intentions, only to drop again, and again, again. Finally, it clicked and fit my reading mind. While overall I didn't find it completely satisfying, it had a most interesting style and certainly depicted the world of this section of London wonderfully. I can never say it enough, one never knows when it's time for a book, and you just can't force it.
Smith's previous novels have been exuberantly plotted, and were resolved in a highly "novelistic" way. This book is much more tentative and touching in its conclusions. In an essay called "Two Paths for the Novel," Smith has challenged what she calls the unexamined credos upon which realism is built: "the transcendent importance of form, the incantatory power of language to reveal truth, the essential fullness and continuity of the self." None of these things make sense on the streets of northwest London. "NW" represents a deliberate undoing; an unpacking of Smith's abundant narrative gifts to find a deeper truth, audacious and painful as that truth may be. The result is that rare thing, a book that is radical and passionate and real.
Half sentences, fragments, broken syntax and line, dialect, sometimes no punctuation. The linear narrative under reconstruction, jackhammer to the fourth wall of fiction, the suspension bridge of disbelief like the London Bridge of the nursery rhyme, falling down. Busting the glass ceilings....Nobody is going to accuse Smith of being straitlaced or staid, of pandering to her huge audience or of writing a "perfect" novel. Instead, Smith seems to be out to undo the conventional novel. Do the narrative hijinks pay off? Smith derails the reader from the worn ruts of what to expect, provokes surprise. She tests the support beams of plot, knocking them down when she can....Lisa Moore's stage adaptation of her novel, February, premieres at the Alumnae Theatre in Toronto from Sept. 21 to Oct. 6.
At these times and others it's hard to shake the sense that all the experimentation is more fun for the author than illuminating for the reader. Why exactly, for example, are those vignettes numbered? And what's the significance of the number 184? The mere asking of such questions is an annoyance, taking up energy that would be better spent savouring the novel's strengths...Here, then, is a tricky case. This reviewer finds himself in the strange position of calling NW one of his favourite books of the year, yet being unable to recommend it wholeheartedly. Like John Lanchester's Capital, another recent novel that sought to capture the ever-shifting essence of today's London between two covers, NW proffers a rich and varied banquet yet leaves the reader's hunger ultimately unsatisfied.
As a writer, Smith finally seems perfectly at ease: less like she's trying to please and more like she's delighting in her jaw-dropping mastery of language and dialect. This is, hands down, her best novel to date.
The trailing plot threads aren't exactly tied off, more tucked back in. The real mystery of NW is that it falls so far short of being a successful novel, though it contains the makings of three or four.

From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their London is a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end."--From publisher's information.… (more)

Disgraceful that no one petitioned to recall Munks at the time and that no one has run against his re-election ( except for this hopeless write-in bid). Sex slaves are not prostitutes: they are victims of rape. What does that make the customers? Rapists.

Gun nuts will do anything to disrupt that kind of progress. They'll do anything; anything except get a qualified candidate for sheriff on the ballot.
Be glad when this election is over. Next time, put a candidate on the ballot, instead of using an issue from 2007 as a stalking horse for politicians running for other positions.

text: Purchased a Z4 about 6 weeks ago and really like it. I notice that the bolt that the top of the ROPS hinges on is the same length on both sides and that it makes it too short on the side that has the "stop" welded on. (The "stop" is what I call that U shaped piece of metal that holds the ROPS at an approx horizontal position when folded.) Becasue the stop is approx 1/4" thick on both sides the bolt is apporx 1/2" too short and therefore the nut only engages approx 1/2 of the bolt. I asked the dealer and he said thay all come that way. It is easy enough for me to go buy a longer bolt but seems strange to me that it would be this way and so I wanted to mention it on the forum.

In Alcatraz 1962 Release Studio Update
Metal and hardccore group In Alcatraz 1962 are currently recording their debut LP, the follow-up to last year's Dream EP, with producer, Don Debiase (Modern Day Escape, Beneath The Sky, For All Those Sleeping). They sent us a video update, which you can watch below. Looks like they might be having too much fun in the studio. Underneath that drummer Josh Zupovitz fills us in a little more after the video.
REVOLVER Where are you in the recording process?
JOSH ZUPOVITZ We've knocked out all the tracking these past few weeks. The next step in the process is mixing and mastering. All the mastering will be done by Mike Brown (Lava Room). Everything is running very smoothly, Don DeBiase (Studio D Productions) is a phenomenal producer. We've been honored to have such a great team working with us. The atmosphere created by the studio has been an essential part in creating our first national release.
What does the new record sound like?
This record brings a lot of things that we feel need to be expressed in today's metal and hardcore scene. It blends our first two EPs together, as well as added twists and turns influenced by each individual member. We tried utilizing different writing styles to mix it up from our first two EPs.
When do you anticipate the record being done, and what are your plans once you're out of the studio?
This record should be 100 percent done within the next few weeks. We don't have an official release date just yet, but one will be coming very shortly. We plan on doing a couple tours before the release, and many to follow once the record comes out.

To make matters worse, a police officer had a cell phone in his hand when Lyssa decided that it was probably better on the ground and knocked it out of his hand. I am shocked that her bail was set at just $400. Lyssa, who is Dog's 9th child just recently filed for divorce after being abused pretty much from day one of her marriage.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University students, current and retired employees, as well as alumni have about one month to prepare entries for the eighth annual NWOSU Art Society (NAS) Art Show. This year's show is set for April 16-30 in the J.W. Martin Library on the Alva campus.
Entry forms currently are being prepared and will be available soon in print form, as well as online. All forms must be submitted no later than April 8. All art pieces must be delivered to the Media Services Office, second floor of the library, no later than April 13.
Entries into the art show are free, and each person entering may submit no more than two items per category.
Angelia Case, NAS sponsor, said that anyone who cannot drop off or pick up their artwork as scheduled must make special arrangements before April 13 by calling (580) 327-8577 or emailing email@example.com. She added that this includes getting entries from the Enid and Woodward campuses.
NAS members currently are working on the categories for this year's show with only minor changes.
A detailed list and explanation for each category will be available soon on the NAS web site at www.nwosu.edu/nas-art-show. There will be opportunities for Traditional Art categories such as drawings, mixed media, paintings and cartoons/comics, as well as Artisan Crafts in both functional and non-functional art, jewelry and textiles/quilts/needlework. Several photography categories will be offered as well.
Northwestern's CORE group again is sponsoring the "Reuse, Recycle, Re-Art" category where the majority of the art piece must be created from objects that might otherwise go in the trash. It can be anything creative – sculptural, flat, etc. Judging will be based on the piece's environmental statement with important consideration of originality, presentation and quality of work. Everyone eligible to enter the art show may enter this category. CORE will provide prize money for the winners.
All artwork submitted to the show must be made by the individual entering the piece. No kits are allowed. If artwork has been shown in an NAS art show before, it may not be submitted again. Artwork must be appropriate according to university standards.
Students are eligible to win more than $700 in prizes. All winning entries will receive a ribbon. All entries also are eligible for the $50 People's Choice Award.
All winning art entries are eligible to be on display at a community art show to take place in downtown Alva at the Runnymede Hotel May 2-4.
For additional information about the art show or the art society, visit the NAS web site at www.nwosu.edu/art or contact Case at firstname.lastname@example.com.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

you also make things with the getting a player saying he is going NCAA sound so easy, which is easy to do when you know nothing about the actual machanics of everything....not sure how you think it is easy to draft a guy high saying he is going NCAA and if he does not come then just trade him for a good return, everyone wishes it was that easy, not always easy to just move a player some teams would not want to touch him, you have to find the right buyer then if the player says to those teams he is going NCAA unless quebec gets him then you have to try to work something out with quebec with them knowing they are the only team and you get low balled or he decided im just going NCAA, you do not always get a return, but you being super GM in the making would know that i guess, your able to pull off deals great GMs can not because you have friends lol and also anger i guess....sorry your son never got drafted nor had good advice because sounds like you failed to get him an advisor LOL.....ill stick to doing my job with the team and proving my worth by building a champion team rather than pretend i know the business and sit in a chair and put down people and the way things are run LOL.
Very well said. Thinking the same things. Frankie seems bitter. Either he or his son or both were passed over in their respective drafts.

Signing day a bust for the Badgers
National Signing Day came and went a few days ago – miss it?
You probably did, unless you are an ardent Wisconsin Badgers or college football fan. It was Wednesday, or the same day that Donald Driver held his final press conference at Lambeau Field, or the day that Ryan Braun's legal team offered an explanation as to why the MVP's name appeared in documents linked to a PED factory.
Chances are you missed it, but the Badgers kind of did, too.
The program hailed the arrival of 17 scholarship recipients and two preferred walk-ons, along with the early news of the commitments by junior college quarterback Tanner McEvoy (Arizona Western College) and safety Donnell Vercher (Fresno City College).
No one knows if these guys are going to be any good individually, but it's safe to say that the overall class "grades" assigned to programs have a direct correlation to on-field success.
Alabama, which has won back-to-back national championships, has had anywhere from three to five straight "No. 1" recruiting classes, depending on which scouting service you prefer. Whether the top player in any of those classes panned out or not, or whether the last guy in that class turned out to be a draft pick or not doesn't really matter.
As a collection, those guys helped win national titles. That's what matters. The names, how many "stars" they have attached to them, not so much.
So, push the names aside. Let's look at how the people who are paid to know these things rated the Badgers:
Rivals* – 57
*Used by Yahoo! Sports and Sports Illustrated
The problem with those rankings it that there are only 120 schools playing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division 1) So is being in the top third of the country in recruiting that remarkable?
What's worse is that the teams the Badgers need to play – and beat – in order to win the Big Ten and advance to BCS bowl games are decidedly much better at this than they are.
According to Rivals, the entire Big 10 all pulled a better collection of teenagers. Topping the list were Ohio State (No. 2) and Michigan (No. 5) followed by Nebraska (No. 17), Michigan State (No. 38), Penn State (No. 41), Indiana (42), Illinois (47), Northwestern and Iowa (tie 52) and Purdue (55).
Indiana? Purdue? What?
At least Badgers fans have the ESPN rankings, which lists only Ohio State (3), Michigan (6), Nebraska (23) and Penn State (24) ahead of them.
Wait, Penn State?
The team that has 10 less scholarships to offer, had wins removed from the school's historical record and remain ineligible to appear in the postseason for another three years? What?
How does that happen?
These are fair questions to ask if you're a supporter of the Badgers program. How can three straight Rose Bowl appearances not translate into something better? The new coach comes from a program that finished the year in the Top 25 and ran an offense that averaged nearly 35 points per game. The team has sent numerous players to the NFL in recent years, on both sides of the ball.
It can't all be the weather. After all – the winters aren't any better in Michigan or Ohio.
So what's the problem? Why can't a Big Ten program with a very real tradition, with a track record of moving players to the professional level, compile better recruiting classes?
It seems those who love the football program at Wisconsin continually ask those questions.
I used to be one who said rankings don't matter, that you never know how a teenager is going to truly turn out at the college level. But the proof is in the pudding, and as long as this trend of hauling in top 30 or 40 classes continues, it's safe to say the Badgers won't be winning a national title.
buck | Feb. 11, 2013 at 12:37 p.m. (report)
recruiting rankings are kind of a joke. especially rivals, as that ranking is of total number of stars for the entire class, not average stars per recruit. therefore, smaller classes are punished, which is completely moronic. this year's class was far from a bust. it's a pretty typical UW class with a few headliner type guys like the RB from NJ and the juco QB, and then some guys that will develop over time. they've certainly had success with this formula in the past. considering the fact that they had to unexpectedly start with an almost entire new coaching staff 6 weeks from signing day, i'd say they did a very admirable job of keeping most of the class together and adding a few interesting pieces. can't judge andersen on this class obviously since he had so little time. the next couple years will give more of an indication of andersen's style. jim, i've like most of your work here so far, but this article is more a dave-begel style hatchet job. especially the inflammatory headline.

Xenoblade Chronicles
Where is the giant key in satorl swamp?
Someone mentioned a secret door in the fortress but the only door in that room is the sideentrace. there is a wall that i can examine behind the throne but no door at all. Please help =)
schallmau3r - 5 years ago
Top Voted Answer
First, solve "Kacha's kidnapping" quest, passing wither through main or side entrance, but any way get the key near the tree (outside of the fortress, on the back side, near the tree)
Then, get back to Nopon Merchant Camp, get quest from Kacha, go to silent obelisk and roughly north, then east and through a cave. You'll be on a plateau, with an object on the ground (the key) and 5x Deluded Igna, dispatch them, get to the side entrance, enter, stick to the wall behind the throne. When you spot the blue marker press "A" to reveal the secret passage, follow it to the roof, and examine the altar.
Back to Nopon Merchant Camp, complete Kacha's quest and get another from her. Retrieve (if you don't have it) the mirror on the leg, get back to the fortress's rooftop, examine the altar again.
You'll get an item *and* spawn three giant spiders (fight or flight as you see fit)
Ayshir - 5 years ago
just examine the wall (press a ^^"), it will move aside and you'll be able to climb to the roof. Although I'm not sure whether it will open until you've advanced far enough with the questing (after you save the little Nopon and kill Deluded Igna's)
Xenobladed - 5 years ago
The key is found on the hill left from the fortress (between the fortress and the swamp), guarded by 5 monsters. After you got it, you can move the wall behind the throne and climb to the roof.
Super_Hadoken - 5 years ago
I'm pretty sure you have to find the key guarded by some Ignas. If you go inside the swamp near the fortress, you might be able to see an upper pathway connecting to a cliff that leads to where the key is. Follow the path to the Ignas, defeat them, and you'll gain the key. I'm not sure if you have to bring the key back to the nopon, but afterwards just come back to the fortress, (by the side entrance is more easier, unless you want experience from some Ignas and the unique monster) examine the wall behind the throne, and then you'll see an altar. Be prepared though, because there are three Level 32 huge spiders after you examine the altar. Then report back to the nopon.
runaway_angels - 5 years ago
To find the Giant's Key and the deluded Iguna's...
1. Go to the silent obelisk.... make it NOON time to EASILY SEE where i'm about to tell you where to go.
2. head directly EAST PAST the first, second, & THIRD LIGHT GRAY/BROWN LINE /marks/scribble on your map that signify change in elevation (or that there are hills going up).
( The lines on the map are vertical lines and both are touching the "Exile Fortress" title/landmark name. NOTICE - i didn't notice this at first and maybe you didn't either --- the 1st and 2nd lines that i'm talking about are actually connected and form a "U" - the "Exile Fortress Covers it up. So AFTER going around the1st and 2nd lines or "U" shaped line and past the THIRD line...........
3. STOP MOVING! FACE SOUTH! then, GO directly SOUTH and there is a great BIG CAVE opening.
4.. FOLLOW THE PATH and you will reach the 5 iguanas will be there on alert by SIGHT and are either lvl 24 or lvl 25. they did chain attacks on me and my people were 9 lvls higher than they were - so GL!
5. After defeating the lizards head to the tree on the south end of the plateau where a RED EXCLAMATION MARK appears and pick up the key..

Dirty Dancing is on its first national tour, and to say it was well received by the mainly women audience, would be a huge understatement.
There were wolf whistles, cheers and a huge appreciation of Swayze's character Jonny Castle every time he came on stage, with shouts of "get your shirt off!"
Paul Michael-Jones certainly had the moves and the strut of the bad-boy dancer.
Audience participation is very much a part of the dance spectacular, and is what makes, this production the success it is, together of course with the fabulous choreography.
The audience knew the lines of this well-told classic. They knew the songs and what is coming next to the extent people were shushed when Baby was about to utter the line "no-one puts baby in a corner".
It's based on the film through and through, and in parts it seems hurried as it tried to get in everything the movie has and more.
The production does give a deeper insight in the characters.
The scenes are far more comical than those in the film, especially Lisa's hula songs — sometimes the comedy seemed to verge on the parody, but the audience laughed and loved it.
The cast modelled themselves convincingly on their film counterparts, particularly Charlotte Gooch, who plays Penny, and at times it could have been the Hollywood stars there on stage. Watch out for the waterlift scenes, superbly created with digital special effects.
Fans of the film will love this new take, complete with live music, which updates the hits running through the show.
This is a fun production in which Dirty Dancing lovers can at last be part of.
There was everything except dancing in the aisles!
