The solar industry is a mess. It's too dependent on the whim of governments. Its leading companies are in trouble. And so forth.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's take note that investors are already knee deep in a bet that the problems are under control.
The sector is ahead by more than 40% this year, if you judge by the performance of the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN). Market Vectors Solar Energy ETF (KWT) is ahead by nearly 30%. Things got pretty dramatic back in April, when the sector staged a double-digit advance after a bullish and well-received forecast by First Solar (FSLR).
SolarCity (SCTY) is the focus lately. The stock is giving up nearly half of yesterday's 24% surge, as a handful of analysts grow cautious. Here's Raymond James' Pavel Molchanov:
[C]alling this stock "overheated" is a bit of understatement, in our opinion. We believe this quarter was not the blow-out the market was hoping for – no Tesla-like beat, in other words – and, if anything, the timeline to profitability looks even more distant. That said, within the fast-growing U.S. photovoltaic (PV) market, SolarCity is the top (non-utility) downstream pure-play and one of the very few public ones, thereby making it a textbook "story stock." We maintain our Market Perform rating, albeit with bias to the downside, especially with post-IPO lockup expiration coming up in mid-June.
Here's Roth Capital duo Philip Shen and Matt Koranda:
We downgrade SCTY to Neutral as the stock has run aggressively (up 350% since the Dec'12 IPO). We continue to believe management has built a best-inclass operation and is pioneering a better way of delivering energy. At current levels, however, valuation feels stretched, and we establish a PT of $30 with assumptions that leave little room for error.

Hudson Jeans is fashioning its next chapter. The Los Angeles-based denim brand, which got a $30 million investment from Fireman Capital Partners and Webster Capital this year, is expanding its mix and will kick off a fall ad campaign featuring rock progeny Georgia May Jagger. Hudson Jeans also is considering the launch of a retail concept.
???One of the key things the investment allows us to do is further the creative process,??? chief executive officer Peter Kim said. ???When Hudson was founded, the vision was to be the next great iconic brand. The investment brought us resources to take this business from where we are today to where we expect to be when we grow up.???
Advertising executive David Lipman, who is one of Hudson??™s investors and an operating partner at Fireman Capital, has taken on the creative direction of the campaign. He also is chairman of Lipman, the agency handling the account, and tapped 17-year-old Jagger for the campaign, which was shot last month in London by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Camilla Nickerson.
???It??™s all about her genes ??" literally and figuratively,??? Lipman said at the shoot in an East London studio. ???It??™s all about the heritage of having Mick Jagger as a dad and Jerry Hall as a mum. But more than anything, it??™s her spirit that captivates me.???
Lipman noted that Jagger??™s English and American lineage mirrors Hudson??™s brand, which has a Union Jack logo. Among the campaign images are ones of Jagger wearing denim cutoffs and lounging on a Union Jack pillow or posing in ripped, bleached jeans against the background of an elegantly disheveled apartment, complete with beat-up leather armchairs and worn afghan rugs.
???It??™s the biggest campaign we??™ve ever done, and it will take the brand to that next level,??? Kim said.
Dan Fireman, chairman of Hudson and managing partner at Fireman Capital, said he sees the fresh direction as ???a game changer??? for the company: ???It??™s going to help sell-throughs in an environment where, frankly, things are tighter.???

Looking to jump-start the back-to-school season, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. today is relaunching the AE Artist Jean with a perkier backside and sleeker profile.
???The AE Artist was our best-selling jean of all time,??? said Henry Stafford, chief merchandising officer of the American Eagle brand. ???It??™s been newly designed to be extremely flattering all over, particularly the backside. It??™s a skinny flare fit with great waistband construction and a long and lean look for all shapes and sizes. You can be really curvy and wear these jeans.???
Despite strong sell-throughs ??" American Eagle won??™t disclose the units sold ??" the AE Artist Jean was discontinued last summer after a three-year run to make room for new fits. Customer requests inspired the design team to revive and re-create the jeans with changes in the pocket size and positioning of the yoke to lift the rear. There are five washes, from light to dark, with three priced at $39.50, and two with destroyed details at $49.50. Four of the jeans are stretch; one is rigid.
Many retailers are banking on denim this season to lift sales, introduce looks and reset prices. J. Crew Group Inc.??™s Madewell just launched its ??™37s jeans line, at $59.50, a lower opening price point in jeans for the brand. Gap is overhauling denim and Guess is increasing the category in its stores, while Abercrombie & Fitch Co.??™s first Hollister flagship, which opened last week in Manhattan??™s SoHo neighborhood, features denim bars and premium styles.

On February 25, 1997, Meinhard was seen fighting with Peterson and getting in the victim's car. Shortly after the fight another witness testified that Meinhard admitted to killing Peterson and was covered in blood. Days later the witness helped Meinhard use latex gloves and bleach to wipe the victim's car of blood.
Meinhard told several others he stabbed Peterson to death and investigators found other physical evidence linking Meinhard to the murder. Meinhard was convicted of first degree murder and second degree evidence tampering and was ordered to serve consecutive terms of five-to-life and one-to-15 years in prison.
In his petition, Meinhard now claims he is innocent and the testing will show that his DNA will not be found under Peterson's fingernails or on the outside door handle of the victim's car.
Assistant Attorney General Andrew Peterson (no relation to the victim) filed a response opposing the testing because it will not offer any evidence about who committed the murder. "(Meinhard) cannot establish he is innocent by testing for DNA," Peterson wrote. "The most that could be proved by DNA testing is that (Meinhard) did not touch the door handle with his bare hands and that Peterson did not scratch (him) during the murder."

AAA Utah is joining forces with the Utah Highway Patrol, the Utah Highway Safety Office and the Coalition for Utah Traffic Safety to host a series of informational forums on Utah's new traffic safety laws.
The forums are designed to assist officers who will enforce the new laws including testing for alcohol levels in blood and breath, violations for failure to use child safety restraints and left lane restrictions. Enforcement of state's graduated driver license laws will also be discussed.
"The new traffic safety laws will be the focus of these meetings," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokeswoman. "Utah's law enforcement and traffic safety leaders will highlight the new laws, answer questions, and share their perspective on how these new laws can make our streets more safe for motorists and pedestrians."
The forum in the Castle Valley area will be held June 24 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Greenwell Inn in Price.
Handouts for officers include a quick reference guide highlighting the changes as well as a more detailed digest of changes to the Utah vehicle and related codes. Refreshments will also be served.

Dazzling sparkle in a classic design. Crafted rhodium over sterling silver and palladium, this pendant boasts one oval flat cut 12x10mm adhesive set drusy in your color choice of rose gold-tone or silver-tone. The drusy is haloed by hammered sterling silver for an accenting look.
Please note: Gemstone may vary in color and/or pattern. Please allow for these natural variations.
Part of the Gem Insider® Collection. Made in China. All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
There are several different spellings, but "druzy," "drusy" and "druse" all refer to minute quartz crystals that form within or on other stones. When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of rock, rapid cooling often occurs. It causes the formation of tiny crystals on top of previously deposited minerals or gemstones, particularly quartz, chalcedony or agate. The cutting of drusy cabochons begins with a rough agate geode. After removing the outer layers of agate, the inner cavity with the drusy is revealed. These pieces are then cut so that a thin layer is left with the drusy crystals appearing on the top. The agate portion of each piece is then shaped, sanded and polished.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

: Sorry I'm not more help - maybe consult a real plumber. Though it couldn't hurt to try. (at least no more water shooting up into the sink.)
: : : No it did not come with the disposal. It looks like this:

: : : : When run, the dishwasher drains into the "Y" which then squirts water out of the top into the sink.
: : : : Can I bypass this "Y" device and hook my dishwasher drain hose directly into the garbage disposal? WHat is the purpose of this "Y" device?
Just happened by your question and thought I could offer an explaination. That inverted "Y" thing is called an airgap. It's purpose is to prevent waste water from entering the potable water supply via your dishwasher. This can happen most often when supply lines are drained and the waste water is siphoned into the clean supply lines. The airgap is designed to allow water to flow in only one direction (from the dishwasher to the drain or disposal) If yours' is discharging out the vent holes on the sink deck it may either have an obstruction or it's connected hoses may be reversed! EEEEK
You can usually pull the chrome trim cover off by hand then possibly unscrew the crown which should provide you a visual as to whether or not it's clogged. Bypassing the airgap is bad idea and not permissible by plumbing codes.

Emery County travel bureau met in Castle Dale to take care of the business involving tourism in the county. The newest member of the bureau is Jonathan Hunt he is the new park manager for Utah State Parks Huntington, Millsite and Scofield.
Board chairman Mike McCandless said in the state's tourism budget they allocate 20 percent to a grant program and local travel bureaus or organizations can apply for this money. The main focus of the money is to draw out of state tourists to Utah. Last week ads went out nationwide advertising the five National Parks in the state. Emery County Travel Bureau used this grant money to fund advertising on Delta Airlines and they are thinking of doing this again and considering other projects.
One project suggested by Taina Benson was putting advertising on city buses. She has seen a lot of this in California.
McCandless said Moab has been very aggressive in advertising out of the country and has been very successful with visitors from foreign countries coming to Moab. One project will be billboards in adjacent states. Social media development will be a focus, too.
Board member Kelly Bayles said he is interested in developing ways to get people off the freeway and into the town of Green River and to the museum, restaurants and motels. McCandless reported research indicates billboards are most effective within five miles of a town. Moab is adding new rooms at the Holiday Inn, 60 rooms. Green River used to receive overflow from Moab, but that will be less likely if Moab has the rooms available.
The board approved a funding request for the working ranch 4-H competition. The event takes place the end of September and will bring participants into the county.
The representative from GoUtah.com came to the meeting to invite the travel bureau to renew their contract for another year. This website advertises for Emery County and leads people to the San Rafael Country.com website. He said 95 percent of the people requesting information are from out of state. The visitors to the site give their information so Tina Carter can send them information. The renewal for one year is $2,295.
A film will be shot in the county in September or October and also half the filming will take place in Carbon County. The movie will involve coal mining, adventure and scary parts. An Animal Planet segment will also be filmed in the county.
State parks would like to see an expansion of the campground at Goblin Valley. Things are good at the Green River golf course and they have some new sets of rental clubs.
Work will begin soon on the biking/walking trail from Huntington State Park to Huntington. There is also talk of a trail from Green River to the Crystal Geyser. The travel bureau is still thinking of purchasing TVs to play Emery County videos in local restaurants and motels.
The board talked about the travel shows they had been to during the winter and early spring. One idea that came up was having a consumer show in Emery County. The board will think of a theme for the show. Spring or fall would be the best time for a show.

Former president George W. Bush is back in Dallas after his private jet had to make an emergency landing Saturday night in Louisville.
Bush was returning home from an event in Philadelphia when the smell of smoke was reported in the cockpit of the plane, forcing the emergency landing, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
No one was hurt.
"Bush spokesman Freddy Ford told the Associated Press on Sunday that after a brief stop, the plane continued to Dallas. Ford was on board and said he never saw or smelled smoke.
"FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said the Gulfstream 4 eventually landed at Dallas Love Field.
"Bush is honorary chairman of The First Tee, which supports youth education programs through golf, and was returning from an event in Philadelphia."

A new study released yesterday in the journal Nature Medicine determined that the fat and cholesterol in red meat isn't what makes red meat a cardiovascular risk—but rather it's the L-carnitine in red meat that's troublesome.
Dr. Sinatra's Thoughts on the Red Meat Study
First off, I've been saying the same thing for years—that the cholesterol and fat in red meat aren't the real cause of heart disease. But implicating the L-carnitine nutrient based on this type of research needs enormous future investigation and replication.
First off, this is a very complex study with a lot of moving parts. They looked at both mice and humans, giving mice a carnitine diet versus a non-carnitine diet. Then, they did the same thing with human meat eaters and compared them to vegan eaters. Then, based on the results, they implicated L-carnitine for contributing to cardiovascular disease—including plaque buildup in the blood vessels of the mice.
What happens in the gut is that your body metabolizes L-carnitine into a compound called Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). People who regularly eat a lot of red meat have a lot of TMAO in their systems—and high levels of TMAO may lead to cardiovascular disease. Those who eat less red meat, on the other hand, have far fewer of the bacteria that turn L-carnitine into harmful TMAO—and therefore have better heart health.
The researchers suggested meat eaters could perhaps be given antibiotics to kill off the bacteria that turn L-carnitine into TMAO. I have another suggestion—cut back on red meat. And more importantly, cut back on red meat that's treated with antibiotics, hormones, insecticides, pesticides and nitrites, as most of our meat supply is. I strongly suspect that it's all of these chemicals in red meat that are causing the bacterial imbalance that's leading to the build-up of harmful levels of TMAO.
Instead, Eat Red Meat that is Toxin-Free
I recommend eating range-fed buffalo, a red meat that contains none of the above environmental toxins. However, moderation is key when eating any range-fed meat. A 3.5 ounce serving every other day is reasonable. As I discussed in a 2012 newsletter article about cutting back on red meat to lower your heart health risk, over-consumption of red meat is associated with a higher incidence of both heart disease and cancer.
The researchers also suggested that, "the safety of chronic L-carnitine supplementation should be examined, as high amounts of orally ingested L-carnitine may under some conditions foster growth of gut microbiota with an enhanced capacity to produce TMAO and potentially advance atherosclerosis." While this is a bold statement, obviously more research needs to be done when one considers the fact that there have been so many well-designed and replicated studies confirming the efficacy and safety of L-carnitine for human consumption.
When it comes to the use of L-carnitine as a supplement, a 500 mg ingested dose is only about 15% absorbed because the bioavailability of the compound is limited. So, a person taking a 500 mg dose is only getting about 75mg of L-carnitine, the equivalent found in a large serving (8-10 ounces) of red meat.
Should You Continue to Take Your L-Carnitine?
Absolutely! That is unless you're chowing down on chemical-laden red meat daily (which I know doesn't apply to any of you). It's also important to remember that like CoQ10, your body manufactures L-carnitine—and the reason it does is because it's essential to good health. There are multiple animal studies that demonstrate the beneficial effects of supplemental L-carnitine in cardiovascular prevention. In addition, there are multiple human studies confirming the benefits of L-carnitine in documented heart disease, i.e. heart attack, angina, congestive heart failure, and atherosclerotic vessels.
The researchers raise the issue of TMAO concentrations, which does deserve further investigation. The connection between TMAO and antimicrobials may suggest a link between gut microflora and the theory that heart disease may have an infectious component, as well. The human GI tract has been extremely altered by the environmental toxins of this modern age. Chlorine is but one example. As the late Bernard Jensen often has been quoted: "Death and pathology begin in the colon."
In conclusion, this study on red meat and L-carnitine raises a lot more questions than answers, but does not suggest more research into the role of our gut microflora and optimum health.
For now, I'm going to continue taking my L-carnitine (200 mg twice a day), and my acetyl L-carnitine (500 mg twice daily), as well as enjoy a modest serving (3-4 ounces) of free-range lamb, beef and bison, two or three times a week.
Now it's your turn: What are your thoughts on this study?

Skip to comments.Events mark 250th anniversary of French and Indian War
Posted on 03/13/2005 9:07:32 AM PST by Willie Green
This spring and summer will bring a full slate of events keyed to the 250th anniversary of the French and Indian War.
(Excerpt) Read more at pittsburghlive.com ...
Thanks -- I don't know much about this conflict, but I'd like to. It sounds like the timing is right!
Who won that one? Did the French surrender?
| It's a 'Burgh
|Send FReepmail if yunz want on/off BPT list, 'n'at
|Learn Pittsburghese!
|The List of Ping Lists
British and Prussians won. It actually was the Seven Years War, a World War, with the American component called the French and Indian War.
Russia, Austria, and France all ganged up on Prussia; Frederick the Great beat them all (barely, after fortuitously getting the Russians to withdraw from the war) in Europe.
Here, after some initial French success, the British took Quebec and therefore captured Canada from the French.
The frogs didnt do so hot years later in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 either, come to think of it they are on a centuries long losing streak... (the sissys!)
Best on the subject so far.
Don't forget to bring your scalping hatchets and firebrands!
Massacres are no fun without the proper equipment.
For the Pittsburghians
Thanks for the pings. I hope to accompany my nieces to at least one event. They're only 5 and 9, but have seen several Bushy Run reenactments.
The American frontier when it was still east of the Mississippi makes the cinematic "wild west" look positively tame.
The war was started by George Washington. He was a British subject at the time.
The Prussians were whipped at Jena on October 14, 1806, by a French army...led by a non-Frenchman, of course.
My ancestors lived on the Forks of the Yadkin River in North Carolina during the French and Indian War and were driven north to Virginia by the French and Cherokees in 1761.
The Forks of the Yadkin was also home to Daniel Boone and was the western most frontier with American settlers living there at that time. The stories I've read about the Indian attacks and hardships on the Forks of the Yadkin make the frontier of the 1870s look like a tea party.
Part of one of the states, North Carolina actually broke off from the main part of the state and made their own state, Franklin. That lasted 4 years. A lot of competing claims to unoccupied land west of the Thirteen Colonies, the Thirteen States, made for some tension between states.
I went to several of these events last year and it was great fun. For people with families, you must take the young people to teach them our history!
The only problem is that the war started in 1754. They're a year late.
I live near Bushy Run. They usually have the reenactment the first week of August. Also there was a great piece about General Braddock in the Focus section of today's Trib.
Au contraire, they started this last year, and it will continue for at least six more years to coincide with the end of the war. (Can't remember the date of the peace conference, but in Europe they called this the "Seven Years War".)
That was only one day of battle, not a whole war...
That was nearly 200 years ago. Sweden, too, was once a military power.
Hey...I live near there too!!! No. Huntingdon, near what used to be Fort Waltour. Small world :)
You denigrate the French a bit too much -- remember that under Louis the Sun King they were a major power in Europe while under Napoleon they came close to forming a Europe-wide empire -- even up to defeating the UK. Whatever be their politics now, I see no point in historical condemnation

Young Stars Shine in LA Loss
On 14 points, the Los Angeles Galaxy sit six points adrift of Western Conference leader's FC Dallas.
Last night was a struggle for Bruce Arena's team, however. While they dominated the early going, they lacked the ability to finish off the Houston Dynamo. Landon Donovan's return to the side has helped the team for the better, but the absence of Robbie Keane hindered the team on the night. The senior trio of Mike Magee, Donovan, and Keane were integral weeks ago when LA defeated Sporting KC 2-0, though their vile was not on display at the Home Depot Center Sunday evening.
However, Keane's leave has given Arena the option to throw Jose Villarreal into the firing line. The 19 year old did well against the Dynamo, though his performance was highlighted by the penalty he earned for Donovan on 24 minutes. Villarreal ran off the shoulder of Houston center back Jermaine Taylor, while collecting a well-shaped through-ball from Landon. The youngster attempted to round keeper Tally Hall, though he was taken out by the Houston No. 1's careless challenge. While the veteran failed to capitalize from the spot, it was the future who created the opportunity for his teammate.
Moments earlier, Charlie Rugg's header beat Hall, but the bar as well. He paired with Villarreal last night and looked to hold play up for the Galaxy, as he often did for squad members during his years at Boston College. The nod was the his best chance of the night. Both sides struggled to get quality chances on goal. Despite getting off a combined 33 attempts, the Dynamo an Galaxy only hit the target twice a piece.
The 19th overall pick in the draft, Rugg, was replaced by Gyasi Zardes. In his second appearance of the year, the 21 year old, with a distinguishable hairstyle should have scored, though his effort from close range was blocked by Hall, who was solid when called upon. Zardes' movement was sound for the remaining half hour or so, as the man who topped NCAA scoring charts during his collegiate career looked to bypass Villarreal and Rugg on the depth chart.
Youth, of course, is the common denominator for these three attackers. All under the age of 22, they are members of the one of the best development programs in MLS. Villarreal, a homegrown signing by the Galaxy is a talented player who represented the MLS Cup winners 10 times last year. In his second appearance, his angled drive from 18 yards saw his side earn a 2-2 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps. His patience and skill were on display in his strike, as he used superb awareness to see the defender pass by before he cut in for the equalizer. His technical ability has got him to this point and his deft touch by Tally Hall would have seen him score easily, with two helpless Dynamo defenders keeping the goal from the teenager's mercy.
Up top with Rugg, the two could be a special combination in the starting XI come the future. Due to a senior year hampered by injury, Rugg was unable to contribute to BC as much as he would have liked. He was a former ironman for the Eagles, starting every match during his sophomore and junior years. If hamstring and knee issues fail to hold him back, Rugg's potential is sky high. He is a powerful forward who led an ACC squad in goals. His performance last night lacked the final touch, which he so displayed against Real Salt Lake a week earlier. Scoring 13 minutes into the match, the young Rugg was positioned well to tap in a low drive from Hector Jimenez.
However, the former BC man and Villarreal have lots still to learn. On a few occasions, their runs proved hesitant. Though the 19 year old was able to get behind the Dynamo back four to earn a spot kick, the man who missed that penalty attempted to send crosses in a couple of times to both strikers. Had their movement been better the Galaxy may have tacked one on, though the young guns and the rest of the side lacked the knowledge and some the experience to make those critical, intricate tactical runs. However, those will surely come with time.
Despite the 1-0 defeat at home, Arena must be happy with his side's future. Though they lacked the finishing quality required on the night, the future of the Galaxy's front line is as bright as the stars. If they can hold onto these players and keep them healthy, the club will be feared in the league for years to come. Perhaps Frank Lampard will come into the fold to support them in a year's time.
With these men striking away, Los Angeles will have no trouble hanging onto their top-dog status in MLS.
