U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced 16 projects supporting activities in 24 states and the District of Columbia to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in communities across the nation, and seven additional projects in seven states to help prepare college students for careers designing and building advanced vehicle technologies.
"By developing the next generation of automotive engineers and preparing communities for plug-in electric vehicles, these projects will help reduce our nation's dependence on oil imports, create jobs, and help America capture the growing global market for advanced vehicles," said Secretary Chu.
Projects to support community planning for plug-in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure will receive $8.5 million through DOE's Clean Cities initiative to facilitate local public-private partnerships that will develop EV deployment strategies. The funding recipients range from communities with extensive EV planning experience to those that are eager to begin, but have not previously had the resources to do so. These one-year projects will help communities address their specific needs, which include updating permitting processes, revising codes, training municipal personnel, promoting public awareness, or developing incentives, and each will create a plan that will be publicly available so that other stakeholders can learn best practices.

Top gaining stocks in the sector yesterday included Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:LGND) traded higher by 1.92 (13.68%) and closed at new multi-year high of $15.95. Yesterday’s rally was followed by sharp fall of 10% in the past one week. So far this year, the stock has jumped over 79%.

The Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter's (OTCBB: AAPH) 2nd Horizontal Well at North Oklahoma Project Ready for Drilling

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � September 8, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today provides an update regarding ongoing operations at the NOW-2H horizontal oil well site at the Company's North Oklahoma Project. All field preparations have been completed and readied for the arrival of the drilling rig. The Company has been informed that we are next in line for the rig, which is anticipated to arrive on site shortly.

The NOW-2H horizontal well is a direct 160 acre offset to, and � mile from, the NOM-1H well which began full commercial oil and gas production on July 6th. Once drilling commences and the Mississippi formation reservoir is reached vertically, the subsequent directional drilling will involve a 1,600 foot lateral leg drilled directly along the over-100-foot-thick pay zone. Drilling should take between 15-18 days to reach T.D., after which the Company confidently anticipates a rapid program to complete the well. The current objective is to have the NOW-2H pumping to the existing tank battery and gas pipeline by the end of October.
As previously reported, the Company has purchased full working interest participation in up to 11 additional horizontal wells within the play with the NOW-2H becoming the 2nd well implemented under the planned 11 well development program. The program is designed to accommodate the drilling of approximately one horizontal Mississippi formation well every 30 to 60 days.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "The fall development drill program at the North Oklahoma Mississippi Project is now in full swing with the start of the drilling of the NOW2-H well. We have an aggressive drilling timetable ahead of us in order to fully develop these leases and to ensure we maximize the reservoir potential. After this next well is drilled, the engineers will evaluate the flow rates and oil cut to determine whether a slight stimulation or frack will be required to fully exploit the asset."
About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)
The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the "hunt" for domestic petroleum assets. Visit us at: www.americanpetrohunter.com

The Battle for the Smart TV Market; (OTC: NYXO), (NYSE: SNE), (KSE: 005930), (NASDAQ:AAPL)

POINT ROBERTS - September 8, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on the growing rapidly growing battle for the rapidly growing Smart TV/Connected TV market.

IFA in Berlin, the recently held global trade show( Sept. 2-7) for consumer electronics and home appliances, was the showcase for what's new from the main competitors in Smart TV, with LG Electronics (KRX: 066570, LSE: LGLD), Samsung (KSE: 005930) and Sony (NYSE: SNE) battling it out for consumer attention. According to IFA and Gfk, a research firm affiliated with the show, smart-TV sales will jump 53 percent in 2011 to 40 million units.
A Smart TV device is either a television set with integrated internet capabilities or a set-top box for television that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic television set.
Small player in the field, Nyxio Technologies ( OTC: NYXO) recently reported it has partnered with BlueStacks, a technology company that has developed a product that enables Android applications to run on Windows machines. Nyxio will install the BlueStacks program on its "VioSphere" Smart TV, "Omega" Tablet PCs and "Realm" All-In-One PC products.
According to Nyxio Technologies ( OTC: NYXO), “ While the concept of Smart TVs is still in its incipient stages, with up and coming software frameworks such as the proprietary Google TV and the open source XBMC platforms getting a lot of public attention in the news media within the consumer electronics market area, and commercial offerings from companies such as Logitech, Sony, LG, Samsung and Intel have indicated products in the area that will give television users search capabilities, ability to run apps (sometimes available via an 'app store' digital distribution platform), interactive on-demand media, personalized communications, and social networking features. Nyxio has been at the forefront of this technology for the past 3 years already.”
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is expected to enter the playing field this spring, which based on its success with technology, may be a game changer for consumers.

Nanotechnology Stock News; mPhase (OTC.BB:XDSL) Amends Letter of Intent to Acquire Energy Innovative Products, Inc.

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - September 7, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: XDSL) today issued an update on its letter of intent (LOI) originally announced on 7/28/11 to acquire Energy Innovative Products, Inc. (EIP), a developer of proprietary technologies for reducing energy usage in refrigeration and cooling systems, as well as equipment utilizing AC induction motors.

The transaction was expected to become a Definitive Agreement in August 2011 and close by October 2011. The transaction is now expected to become a Definitive Agreement in September 2011 and close in October 2011.
In the amendment to the LOI dated August 10, 2011 prior to consummation of the closing of the acquisition of 81% of the stock of EIP, mPhase now has an exclusive right for a period of 180 days from August 10, 2011 to acquire the stock of EIP. If the transaction to acquire 81% of the common stock of EIP is not completed for any reason other than the withdrawal from the transaction by mPhase, upon completion of its due diligence, then EIP shall pay Acquirer a break-up fee of $100,000 in cash.
mPhase has also conducted a test on EIP's controller that confirms that the EIP-1 controller saves energy while maintaining temperature. The test was conducted using the EIP-1 controller on a Silver King freezer.
EIP uses patented and patent pending solutions to offer a series of products that control voltage and current used by compressor systems, including those in refrigeration decks, HVAC wall units, commercial refrigeration systems, and consumer equipment. The company, founded in 2008, believes its technology is uniquely positioned to capitalize on each of these multi-billion dollar market opportunities by allowing legacy systems to achieve Energy Star status as well as compliance with emerging standards by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and other regulatory bodies.
According to Scott Caputo, President of EIP, "Corporate demand for energy saving solutions is increasing worldwide driven by rising fuel costs, skyrocketing electricity costs, and growing concerns about greenhouse gases and their impact on our world's environment."
The terms of the deal include the issuance of common shares and warrants for an 81% stake in EIP. "We are extremely pleased with the initial testing results of the EIP controller," said Ron Durando, CEO of mPhase Technologies, Inc.

Investorideas.com - The Best Business In An Inflationary Environment

The Best Business In An Inflationary Environment

By Eric McWhinnie

Visit this company: www.profitimes.com

September 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Buffett has always said that you should find a company that has pricing power that can offer protection in an inflationary environment. What he means with this is you should find companies which can pass higher costs on to its customers. He once said that the ideal asset in an inflationary environment is a royalty on someone else's sales.

If inflation is 3%, so if prices rise 3% per year, and you get a check based on the sales, your income goes up 3% a year without doing anything.

Now this is really interesting. Not that we are in an inflationary period right now (at least that is what the statistics in Fantasy land are saying), but gold prices are inflating. So the gold mining companies are in a favorable business right now. What about the Gold royalty companies? I personally think they are in an even better situation. Why? Because the costs for mining gold has increased dramatically over the years, as the easy gold has been mined, causing companies to dig deeper, which costs loads of money.

Basically, Royalty companies pay capital to a company which doesn't have the means to expand. In return for this capital, the royalty company gets a percentage of the sales. Note that the rising costs don't affect the royalty company's results, as they get a % of SALES, and not PROFITS! So even if costs go up, bringing profits down for the mining companies, royalties can still increase if production and thus sales increase!

Let's have a look at some royalty companies:

1) RandGold: Isn't this a nice trend? (Please notice that RandGold (Ticker: GOLD) went higher in recent weeks, despite markets going down)

4) Silver Wheaton

Now let's have a look at the HUI index, an index composed of several mining companies:

VIEW CHART AT http://profitimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/HUI.png
Chart courtesy stockcharts.com

It just kept up with gold, rising 6 fold since 2002. Not bad, but wouldn't you prefer the Royalty companies after you have seen these charts? Historical results are no indication of future performance, but I think the trend is clear.

Another Royalty company is Tanzanian Royalty Exploration. Its President is no one less than mr. Jim Sinclair.

Mr. Sinclair proclaimed in the 70's that gold (then trading around $150 per ounce) would hit $900. It eventually peaked at $887.50 and mr. Sinclair sold his position the following day. He declared the Bull Market dead for the next 2 decades, despite some analysts predicting gold could go as high as $2,000. Boy, was he right. He made a new prediction in the early 2000's that gold would hit $1,650 by January 14th 2011. It hit this level on August 2nd, so mr. Sinclair was, once again, not far off.

Let's have a look at the chart:

Measured in gold, this stock is trading at the lows of 2008 and 2009 and it is on a long term support line. It also seems to be retesting the breakout above the red resistance line right now.

One of Jesse Livermore's trading rules was: “Be right & Sit Tight”.
