Daniel M. Kammen to head programs to foster low-carbon growth in developing countries
WASHINGTON - September 10, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) - The World Bank today announced the appointment of Professor of Energy Daniel M. Kammen of the University of California, Berkeley as the organization's Chief Technical Specialist for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. This is a new position created to provide strategic leadership on the policy, technical, and operational fronts. The aim is to enhance the operational impact of the Bank's renewable energy and energy efficiency activities while expanding the institution's role as an enabler of global dialogue on moving energy development to a cleaner and more sustainable pathway.
The appointment comes amid unprecedented demand from developing countries for World Bank support in their efforts to address development and climate change as interlinked challenges. This includes responding to the challenges in providing energy services to the one-and-a-half billion people who remain without access to clean, reliable, and affordable modern energy services.
"I am delighted that Dan Kammen will be joining the Bank in this critical role at this critical time," said Inger Andersen, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development "With Dan on board, we look forward to strong leadership and rich partnerships with many actors, in the public and private sectors, on this important topic."
"More than ever," Andersen added, "our client and countries are looking for solutions as they put in place economic growth and poverty reduction policies for their citizens today while taking into account the needs of the planet tomorrow. The supply and use of clean energy is a prime element in responding to both concerns. Dan's deep knowledge, broad experience, and extensive network of international actors working in this area makes him a perfect fit for this new position."
Daniel M. Kammen has worked for 25 years on the technical, analytic tools and policies that play a central role in enabling a low-carbon energy and wider sustainable economic systems.
"I am captivated and motivated by the need to respond to the immense clean energy needs of countries around the world to address quality of life and economic empowerment, address problems of inequity, and respond to the challenges of climate change," said Kammen. "As researchers and development professionals, we must refine what we are currently doing, as well as develop new tools, to provide more low-cost, high quality, clean energy worldwide."
"The World Bank, with its cadre of seasoned staff already working in this area, is in a position to make incredible contributions to this push for global sustainability. I look forward to joining the organization, being a part of this exciting venture, and contributing to lasting solutions that enable countries to get and stay on a path of development that reduces poverty and provides for the well-being of generations to come," said Kammen.
Currently, Kammen is the Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy at the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds appointments in the Energy and Resources Group, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the department of Nuclear Engineering. The focus of his work is on the science and policy of clean, renewable energy systems, energy efficiency, the role of energy in national energy policy, international climate debates, and the use and impacts of energy sources and technologies on development, particularly in Africa and Latin America.
Daniel M. Kammen's appointment will be effective October 4, 2010.

Investorideas.com Reports on the Pulse of Economy; Small Business Fighting Back; Investors Still Cautious
August 26, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investor Ideas, an investment research portal specialized in sector research, reports on the pulse of the economy based on its internal data from online activity, interaction with investors, small cap company CEO’s and the financial community.
Investorideas.com is an online meeting place for investors, public companies and entrepreneurs in leading sectors including cleantech, energy, mining, water, Homeland Security and other high profile sectors.
Investorideas.com audience is global, with its predominant audiences and customers in North America.
Investorideas.com President, Dawn Van Zant reports:
“In May Investorideas.com reported, “The past few months have been the best in the past two years in terms of new advertising dollars, new business and strategic partnering. That sales momentum from online advertising was short lived and was as unstable as the market but new business has recently picked up again -but this time from a different source. Now its small business spending again and looking longer term.
Management of small companies that we deal with and talk to are working harder then ever and being more creative than ever to keep their business running through difficult times. Small business feels very much on its own, carving its own path through the turbulence.
I had a conversation today with a CEO of a struggling company that also gave startling insight as to what he sees behind the scenes in the American Economy. He said he has talked to a growing number of unemployed workers that have given up and now turning to a mentality of seeking more from the Government in terms of compensation and handouts instead of looking for new opportunities and rebuilding their own lives. He felt this sentiment was growing in numbers.
At the beginning of the year investors were spending on our site with memberships and stock directories and now that has scaled back significantly with investors only coming in and spending on our site when we have several positive up days in row in the market. Investors are very cautious but still actively searching for information and more importantly- leadership and direction.
We have seen recent activity and interest come through our site in the water sector as smart money looks for opportunities in the water space. “
What does this mean for the capital markets and investors? The spirit and heart of small business is still very much alive – so there is opportunity our there if you look for it. Investors are looking for leadership – maybe they are looking in the wrong places. Look at innovation, change and direction from small business instead of Government data and media sentiment. Small business is the driving force of the economy.
Maybe Government and Media should also spend more time and attention looking at small business as well, and how to motivate, incentivize and help it find its way back.

July 20, 2010 (Investorideas.com newswire) www.InvestorIdeas.com and its leading tech investor portal, Techsectorstocks.com issue commentary on ecommerce trends from Lisa Springer, CFA. Equity research analyst and financial writer, featuring eLayaway® (OTCBB: ELAY), a company that provides ecommerce solutions for consumers and businesses.
Layaway Programs Stage a Revival
Lisa Springer, CFAEquity research analyst and financial writerCompanies: eLayaway® (OTCBB: ELAY), Sears Holdings Corporation (NasdaqNM: SHLD)
Layaways plans are making a comeback. These plans, which allow cash-strapped consumers to pay for goods interest-free over an extended period of time, first appeared during the Great Depression, but their popularity waned in the 1980s due to credit cards. The recent resurgence of interest in layaway plans is attributable to credit card interest rates that continue to rise and growing reluctance by consumers to carry high credit card balances.
Because of Credit Card Act restrictions and the lingering recession, card issuers are raising rates to near record levels and tightening lending standards, making it more difficult and expensive for the typical consumer to borrow. According to CreditCards.com, the average interest rate on a newly issued credit card has increased to 14.43% from just 12.87% six months ago. To avoid high interest charges, consumers are trimming credit card debt, which fell for the 20th consecutive month in May, according to Federal Reserve data. At its peak in 2008 US credit card debt stood at $976 billion, but that balance has since plunged by nearly $145 billion. The average US household eliminated nearly $2,900 in credit card debt during that period.
Some consumers are using prepaid debit cards to make purchases, and spending for these is forecast to soar to $118.5 billion by 2012 from $8.7 billion in 2008, according to research firm Mercator Advisory Group.
Another popular solution is layaway plans, which allow consumers to make payments over time while avoiding high credit card interest rates. A recent national survey confirmed that 73% of Americans agree that layaway plans are a smart financial solution that can help them better manage their spending. In addition, 55.5% of consumers expressed interest in learning more about layaway as a year-round financial planning tool and 82.2% agreed they would rather forgo the instant gratification of financing their purchases in favor of using layaway.
Hundreds of retailers, including household names such as Toys-R-Us, Sears (Sears Holdings Corporation (NasdaqNM: SHLD) and K-Mart, have taken notice of this trend and begun offering layaway plans. K-Mart has experienced double-digit growth in its layaway program since re-introducing it in 2008 and K-Mart and Sears together brought in three million new customers through their layaway programs in 2008 and 2009. Sears recently decided to extend its layaway program to major appliances in response to a national survey showing 33% of consumers would consider using layaway for home appliance purchases and this retailer also plans to begin offering an extended in-store layaway program this fall.
Recently public eLayaway® (OTCBB: ELAY) has developed the Internet's first and only online payment system for layaway purchases and is thus ideally positioned to capitalize on this purchasing trend. ELAY uses a proprietary processor to calculate manageable periodic payments that make purchases affordable, and then deducts the payments automatically from the user's bank account via Automated Clearing House (ACH) on a schedule chosen by the customer at the time of the purchase. Instead of 14% credit card rates, the customer is charged a flat 1.9% fee. ELAY holds the periodic payments in trust at HSBC Bank and transfers the funds to the merchant when full payment is made. The consumer then receives the goods or services from the merchant. ELAY provides payment processing and support services while the merchant handles order fulfillment.
Over 700 merchants currently offer the eLayaway® plan on their corporate web site. Merchants see eLayaway® as a valuable tool for increasing sales and attracting customers who don’t have credit cards or access to traditional bank credit. Nearly half of all consumers don’t qualify for credit due to the current restrictive lending environment and there is a large portion of the US population that never had access to credit. According to the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.), 25.6% of US households, or some 80 million Americans, are "underbanked," some because they defaulted on a loan before, but many others simply because they lack a sufficient credit history. These consumers have trouble getting a bank account, let alone a credit card, even though they have never missed a loan payment. Retail banks are writing off these customers, who are unwilling to pay high monthly fees or overdraft fees or bring them multiple banking "relationships."
The eLayaway® program allows merchants to increase market share and make additional sales on an immediate basis while reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway. ELAY has quickly emerged as the leader in layaway payment processing. Since it began providing these services in 2005, ELAY has registered over 78,000 members and processed more than $4 million in payment transactions. The Company believes its addressable markets include both online and brick and mortar retailers, which together generate some $1.3 trillion in potential annual layaway sales, as well as sports, travel and health services. ELAY diversifies credit risk by generating revenues from multiple sources, including service/processing fees from merchants and consumers and interest earned from funds held in trust, and plans to begin offering a Merchant Advertising Program later this year.

June 24, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy stocks newswire) - Few investors realize that one sector of the heavy oil market is the most profitable oil in all of North America – it's called cold flow heavy oil. Think of it as light heavy oil, thick and gooey enough that it needs a pump to get out of the ground, but no so thick that it needs expensive heating to make it flow – hence the name cold flow.

And the recent BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico will only help Canadian heavy oil prices. If production from the Gulf is slowly curtailed, US refineries will look to Canada even more for supply.
When I say cold flow heavy oil is the most profitable, I mean that producers get more dollars of profit out for every dollar they put in to get the oil, than from other types of oil. For every dollar producers put in the ground to get the oil, they get anywhere from $3-$7 back (or more) – compared to $2-$4 for most light oil, generally speaking.
The Oil Story No One is Talking About
Everywhere you turn these days, it seems, there's a negative story about the oil exploration industry.
And no doubt – some of the negativity is justified.
But I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in something potentially more powerful.
I've uncovered a scenario playing out in the oil and gas exploration industry that will change the game forever.
More importantly...I've also discovered a handful of companies poised to soar as a direct result of this developing story.
Now...you won't hear about any of this on the evening news broadcasts...and you won't read about it in your local paper.
The best source of information – including specific instructions on how to take full advantage of this game-changing development – is a FREE report I've just prepared.

Investorideas.com - AMIC (OTCQB:ADMD) Signs Exclusive Global license for "Sub-Critical System" to Produce Mo-99
Category: Investment
KENNEWICK, Wash. - June 3, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation ("AMIC") (OTCQB:ADMD), a company engaged in the production and distribution of medical isotopes, is delighted to announce the execution of an exclusive world-wide license for patented technology for a 'sub-critical system' relating to generating clinically relevant quantities of radioisotopes (including Mo-99).
Pursuant to an option first granted to AMIC in June of 2008, AMIC has been working with Dr. John Gahl, one of the inventors of the technology. AMIC announced in November, 2009, encouraging results from initial tests conducted at the Idaho Accelerator Center at Idaho State University and continues to run hundreds of MCNPX computer runs, which have since been independently confirmed and have created a commercial business case for going forward with utilizing the enhanced technology.
It is expected that once the plant is completed, that this technology will afford AMIC the opportunity to supply up to 50% of the Mo-99 needs of the United States.
United States patent applications 10/141,171 titled "Method and Apparatus for Generating Thermal Neutrons Using an Electron Accelerator and 12/364,942 titled "Radioisotope Production and Treatment of Solution of Target Material", and continuing applications thereof are included within the scope of the license.
"We believe that this is one terrific solution set for solving the United States' dire problem of having no domestic production for the most widely used medical isotope, Molybdenum-99. I look forward to AMIC mobilizing into production," stated Dr. John Gahl.
Dr. Robert Schenter, Chief Science Officer of AMIC, states, "1500 people die each day in the USA from cancer...this license and the accompanying technology will greatly assist the USA from being 100% dependent on foreign sources for the critical isotope used in diagnosis, Mo-99, to being self sufficient. There are about 40,000 procedures a day using medical isotopes, and the major suppliers in the world are not in the USA! We here at AMIC are developing technology to assist this major health care crises."

Investorideas.com Reports on the Pulse of Economy as a Small Business in Financial Markets; It’s Better than the Stock Markets are Reflecting
May 25, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investor Ideas, an investment research portal specialized in sector research, reports on the pulse of the economy from the perspective of a small business owner in the financial markets.
“The past few months have been the best in the past two years in terms of new advertising dollars, new business and strategic partnering. The dollar amounts are less than the good old days and customers are expecting more for their dollars, but there is life out there in the real economy in spite of what the Stock Market Indices are doing daily. From traditional online advertising to public companies signing up to new partnerships forming, we are seeing momentum on the small business front increasing weekly”, reports President and founder Dawn Van Zant.
“Because our site also caters to the retail independent investors, we also get a pulse of the investor’s confidence level by our paid premium membership sign- ups. What we see first –hand is that when the stock markets have a few days in a row of positive gains, the investors sign up and when we have a few negative days in a row like we just had, investors do nothing”, reported Investorideas.com founder.

Because You Asked: Why Energy Investors Should Thank the Hedge Funds and other Hot Money for Dumping Energy Assets Cheap
May 19, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) Investorideas.com has received many requests to re-post Mr. Miller's current analysis of the US Energy and Infrastructure market, originally posted May 17, 2010, where he accurately made the call that investors should "seize the moment" and purchase as many high quality public energy and infrastructure companies as possible at the current massively oversold prices.
Mr. Miller has made the call and supported the case for remaining invested long term in the Energy and Infrastructure market, and the leading money managers have started to publicly acknowledge that Mr. Miller made the correct call and starting to move money back into the oversold Energy sector in recent days.

Let me start by saying that experienced energy investors savor the times when the "Ambulance" chasers dump quality energy companies en masse to raise capital in order to chase a wounded victim, the Euro in this case.
For the record, the Euro is not going to fail. Some of the weaker countries in the EU may ultimately be removed from the Euro economic base, but as I will explain, they never should have been there in the first place. Hold that thought, and we will come back to it shortly.
For those investors that either know me from the Global Energy Industry over the past twenty years (20) or those that follow my commentary, I am certain all of you know my conviction that to accumulate and maintain true net worth, you must have a significant amount of your assets invested in the Energy Sector, with strong emphasis on US Energy companies, due to the preservation of capital.
It is common knowledge that I spent half it not more of my career working in the Global Energy Industry, mostly in Europe and Asia, with the balance in the US. While I am not a politician, when you work in Europe, especially in the Energy Sector, you must be part commercial executive and part politician, given the long, deep rooted socialist ideology in countries like France in particular, among others.
When the European Union was formed, and the Euro was created, the informed energy and other industry executives "knew full well" that the lesser countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal were not strong enough financially to meet the guidelines set out by the EU and doubted they every would meet the debt to GDP ratios and other key metrics. However, the euphoria about including as many countries in the Euro to compete with the US Dollar at that time overshadowed the economic reality that many of the lesser European countries were admitted way too soon, if they should ever have been allowed to become part of the EU in a currency weighted scenario.
Also, the capital markets, the very ones that are now attacking the Euro "knew full well" that the lesser countries that I refer to above and they refer to as "PIIGS" were not financially capable of meeting the EU guidelines. This includes many of the financial executives that are now running Hedge Funds, Bank Currency Trading operations, and other institutional investors that I refer to in my opening statement as "Ambulance" chasers.
So, where does that leave us? Well, firstly when extremely high quality energy companies get absolutely dumped for no good reason other than Ambulance chasers need to raise money fast to chase the latest trade en mass with the rest of the heard, you must be able to identify this movement and capitalize by purchasing these companies at significant discounts.
You can dispel that there is any reality to what is commonly referred to as "market correction". There are only two types of investing that are credible, owning hard assets such as Energy (Oil, natural gas, and other products) and by default, you control or own "real estate", which as I have stated in prior analysis is the foundation of investing dating back to the beginning of recorded human time.
Leave the "market correction" myth to the rest of the market. The undisputed historical and prospective fact is that "he who controls the natural resources" controls the world we live in, irrespective whether it is the US, Europe, or Asia. The Chinese, despite their lack of respect for the rule of law, sanctity of contracts, and basic business honor, understand that they must control the natural resources necessary to promote their economy, which is why you see the Chinese government owned and controlled energy and infrastructure companies buying assets anywhere they can "cheaply" now as they know what I know, you must lock down your natural resource supplies, for otherwise you will not be a "landlord", but be a tenant and pay rent in perpetuity.
For those old enough to have studied history, this is the primary reason the Japanese decided to attack the US in 1941, they were being starved of natural resources and had none of their own, and thus they had to seize other territories in Asia which produced oil, rubber, and iron ore to support Japan’s economy.
Now, we have a global economy now, so I don’t think anyone will be going to war anytime soon to seize control of natural resources, other than the first Gulf War, which was absolutely about insuring Kuwait and more importantly, Saudi Arabian oil kept flowing freely to the global markets.
The moral of this history brief and story is that while the investing world has changed, the reasons to invest have not. When Hedge Funds, Hot Money, and Ambulance chasers dump energy and infrastructure assets cheap, like they have in recent weeks, you should seize upon this "gift" and buy as much of the high quality public companies in the sector as you can.
For just as quickly as the Hedge Funds, Hot Money, and Ambulance chasers dumped energy and infrastructure stocks, they will come back into the sector in full force of a thundering herd of water buffalo struggling to cross a river infested with crocodiles when they grow tired of their latest chase, the Euro. Why will they do this you may ask, well despite the well informed investors reasons for owning natural resources outlined above, Hot Money has no choice. They must chase the trade for a living, and energy and infrastructure is a "trade in perpetuity", you must own it if you manage money.

May 19, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) Investorideas.com has received many requests to re-post Mr. Miller's current analysis of the US Energy and Infrastructure market, originally posted May 17, 2010, where he accurately made the call that investors should "seize the moment" and purchase as many high quality public energy and infrastructure companies as possible at the current massively oversold prices.
Mr. Miller has made the call and supported the case for remaining invested long term in the Energy and Infrastructure market, and the leading money managers have started to publicly acknowledge that Mr. Miller made the correct call and starting to move money back into the oversold Energy sector in recent days.

Buy Energy Infrastructure and Real Estate at Distressed Prices Now
(Investorideas.com energy newswire) Investorideas.com issues energy stocks and market commentary from energy executive Karl Miller, May17th .
Follow Karl Miller at Investorideas.com

Karl Miller:
This is the bottom line on Net Worth Accumulation and Wealth Transfer over generations:
"You will be judged by the amount of money in your wallet and thus dictates you must own hard assets: Energy Infrastructure and Real Estate to accumulate True Net Worth".
The "Landlord" always wins and the servants always lose! It has been this was since the beginning of recorded human records.
All other investment activities and classes are effectively "losers" over the long term.
Investors must learn from history and when the market gives them a rare, very rare in current market conditions, opportunity to acquire Energy Infrastructure Asset companies and effectively Real Estate very cheap, investors should capitalize on it promptly. Do not buy mutual funds and exchange traded funds at this time. Now is the time to invest directly in high quality Energy companies at deep discounts and distressed real estate on a regional basis directly from financial institutions.
Fortunes were made buying such assets as recently as the late 1980's Bank crisis in the US and I stake my professional reputation and market credibility that the energy companies in my "Charitable Energy Stocks" portfolio, will never go to zero value or anywhere close, even BP, despite the clean up cost the company will incur in the Gulf of Mexico.
Winston Churchill once said to one of his adversaries in Parliament, "Sir, you are a modest man, with much to be modest about and a sheep in sheep's clothing".
Don't be a sheep to slaughter in this market, be an opportunistic investor and know how and when to invest in Energy companies and Real Estate at a discount, and become a landlord!

"You will be judged by the amount of money in your wallet and thus dictates you must own hard assets: Energy Infrastructure and Real Estate to accumulate True Net Worth".
The "Landlord" always wins and the servants always lose! It has been this was since the beginning of recorded human records.
All other investment activities and classes are effectively "losers" over the long term.
Investors must learn from history and when the market gives them a rare, very rare in current market conditions, opportunity to acquire Energy Infrastructure Asset companies and effectively Real Estate very cheap, investors should capitalize on it promptly. Do not buy mutual funds and exchange traded funds at this time. Now is the time to invest directly in high quality Energy companies at deep discounts and distressed real estate on a regional basis directly from financial institutions.
Fortunes were made buying such assets as recently as the late 1980's Bank crisis in the US and I stake my professional reputation and market credibility that the energy companies in my "Charitable Energy Stocks" portfolio, will never go to zero value or anywhere close, even BP, despite the clean up cost the company will incur in the Gulf of Mexico.
Winston Churchill once said to one of his adversaries in Parliament, "Sir, you are a modest man, with much to be modest about and a sheep in sheep's clothing".
Don't be a sheep to slaughter in this market, be an opportunistic investor and know how and when to invest in Energy companies and Real Estate at a discount, and become a landlord!
