		<description><![CDATA[Historically, the growth outlook of alternative energy companies has been inversely related to the prices of petroleum products and directly related to the state of the economy. While that relationship remains in place, other macroeconomic uncertainties are weighing on the sector’s fortunes. The more notable of such recent headwinds has the Euro-zone debt crisis, which has been a threat to the global economy. The overall fear of contagion emanating from Europe has significantly subsided lately, though the region is expected to undergo an economic downturn as a result of the episode. The outlook for the U.S. economy has meaningfully stabilized, with a host of variables showing distinct improvement over the last few months. The question now is with respect to the impact that the slowdown in China and recession in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S.electric utility segment includes electric, natural gas pipeline and distributors, water, and independent power producers. The segment was among the most stable sectors in fiscal 2011 in terms of return. Fiscal 2011 witnessed continued volatility from the European debt crisis leading the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce its growth forecast, raising projections for unemployment and leaning on buying more mortgage debt to tide over a troubled economy. The year has been hard on investors with major indexes registering low performances. The European debt crisis that plagued the markets last year will continue to worry investors in the coming period. In such a scenario we are hopeful about dividend paying utilities acting as a proxy to the asset classes of treasury bonds and gold. Utilities’ usefulness in an investor’s portfolio in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vivus Inc. (VVUS) recently presented positive data from a late-stage trial on its erectile dysfunction (ED) candidate, avanafil, at the 47th European Association for the Study of Diabetes Annual Meeting. The REVIEW-Diabetes study (TA-302), which enrolled 390 patients with type I and type II diabetes, demonstrated that patients receiving avanafil achieved significant improvement in erectile function. The data reported that patients dosed with avanafil showed improvement in the percentage of successful intercourse attempts, regardless of diabetes classification (type I or II), duration of diabetes, or baseline ED severity. Further, successful intercourse was achieved in some patients within 15 minutes of taking avanafil. Moreover, some patients experienced successful intercourse more than six hours after dosing. On average, the patients who enrolled for the study were 58 years old and had a ]]></description>

The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of avanafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) following bilateral, nerve-sparing, radical prostatectomy. The candidate met all the primary endpoints of the study, which included improvement from baseline in erectile function as measured by the Sexual Encounter Profile (both SEP2 and SEP3) and improvement in the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Additionally, the data showed that successful intercourse was achieved within 15 minutes of taking avanafil.

Earlier, in March, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit had ruled in favor of Watson Pharma in a case pertaining to a patent infringement suit involving Seasonique. The Appeals Court reversed and remanded a March 2010 ruling of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, saying that Teva’s ‘969 patent is invalid and unenforceable, and Watson Pharma’s generic drug does not infringe the patent.

		<description><![CDATA[Vivus Inc.’s (VVUS) first quarter 2011 loss of 12 cents per share was narrower than the Zacks Consensus loss Estimate by 3 cents and the year-ago loss (from continuing operations) by 9 cents. The narrower loss in the reported quarter was attributable to a decline in operating costs. Vivus did not generate any revenues in the reported quarter as in the previous year. Operating expenses at Orexigen declined 35.6% to approximately $9.9 million. Research &#38; development (R&#38;D) expenses plummeted 56% to $4.5 million. General and administrative (G&#38;A) expenses increased marginally to $5.4 million in the reported quarter. The significant reduction in R&#38;D expenses was primarily attributable to the lower spend on clinical development of obesity candidate Qnexa and erectile dysfunction (ED) candidate, avanafil as both of them are nearing approval. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Like everyone else, the Alternative Energy industry was hit hard by the Great Recession and essentially remains in recovery mode. And while the economy is in recovery mode, so is our hope for the industry. The growth outlook of alternative energy companies is closely tied to the fortunes of the economy. Despite some lingering concerns, the global economic expansion remains on track. Per the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in its latest release U.S. electricity consumption is expected to rise year-over-year by 4.7% in 2010. Going forward, in fiscal 2011 we expect the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to grow 3.7% year-over-year. Along with this, a faster decline in the unemployment rate will jack up electricity demand, funneling investor interest in the sector. Also, the outlook for the major emerging ]]></description>

Con Edison expects to invest the net proceeds from the sale of the common shares in its regulated utility subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., to fund its construction expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Historically, Consolidated Edison has funded a part of its capital programs through earnings dilutive stock issuances. As a result, its outstanding average common shares rose to 283.2 million at the end of the first half of 2010 from 236 million at year-end fiscal 2004. The trend is expected to continue in the future. However, we must keep in mind that Consolidated Edison is a high dividend-yield defensive stock. As such, the stock recently witnessed mostly lateral movement ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In June, total industrial production inched up by 0.1% from May and was up 8.2% from a year earlier. However, that is the output not just of the nation&#8217;s factories, but of its mines and utilities as well. Hotter-than-normal weather drove a big increase in utility output that distorted the figures. The output of the nation’s factories fell by 0.4% for the month, but is still 8.3% above year-ago levels. The total industrial production index has been up every month but one since last year. The 0.1% increase this month is a major slowdown from the 1.3% gain posted in May and is also below the 0.3% increase in April, and is the worst showing since the unchanged reading in February, which was at least partially due to the blizzards ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corporation’s (ETR) proposed spin-off of its non-utility Nuclear power business hit a regulatory road-block. The New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) played spoilsport and rejected the spin-off request. NYPSC is apprehensive of the financial health of the resultant company (Enexus Energy Corporation). Entergy has been contemplating the spin-off since fiscal 2007 to separate its regulated utilities and open-market generation units. The new company – Enexus Energy Corporation will take over nuclear plants located in Pilgrim in Plymouth, Massachusetts; Vermont Yankee in Vernon, Vermont; Indian Point in Westchester County, New York; Fitzpatrick in Oswego County, New York; and the Palisades plant in Covert, Michigan. New Orleans-based Entergy is primarily engaged in electric power production and retail distribution.

The company has requested $24.8 million from the state to fund renewable energy programs for residential and commercial customers in New York City. The company filed a proposal with the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to support the development of 25 MW of solar energy resources in New York City by 2015, which would offset about 16,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually. Consolidated Edison had earlier asked the PSC for $125 million for the installation of renewable energy projects throughout its service area. If approved, the combined proposed program funding would achieve more than 100 MW of new solar capacity in ]]></description>

The company purchased the project titled Blue Wing Solar Project from Juwi Solar Inc. based in Boulder, Colorado. The 14 MW project will consist of 214,500 ground-mounted First Solar Inc.’s (FSLR) thin film panels. Duke Energy also got a 30-year power purchase agreement to sell all of the output from the solar farm and associated renewable energy credits to San Antonio-based CPS Energy, one of the largest municipality-owned utilities in the U.S. Duke Energy expects to finish construction on the project by the fourth quarter of 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[Consolidated Edison Inc. (ED) announced its fourth quarter results of fiscal 2009 with earnings per share (EPS) of 67 cents, which fell short of both the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate of 77 cents and the year-ago EPS of 72 cents. EPS was affected by the dilutive effect of a higher weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 278.2 million compared to 274.2 million shares in the prior-year quarter. However, Consolidated Edison surpassed its year-ago quarterly GAAP EPS of 58 cents by 15 cents in the fourth quarter. The EPS variations reflect the year-over-year differences, where Con Edison of New York benefited from 36 cents per share as higher rates authorized higher recovery of costs and 1 cent from miscellaneous items. This was offset by 23 cents from higher operations ]]></description>

However, when you dig just a bit below the surface, the report was weaker than expected. Manufacturing output actually declined 0.1%, and the November rise was revised down to 0.9% from 1.1%, while the October number was revised up to a decline of 0.1% from the previous 0.2% decline. The overall increase was due to a 5.9% surge in Utility output, which has more to due with a cold snap in December than it does with a surge in economic activity. In November, which was milder than normal, Utility output fell by 2.4%. The third major component, Mining, saw its output rise by 0.2%, a big slowdown from the 1.9% surge in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) has reached a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Justice on a lawsuit pertaining to a clean air violation at Duke Energy’s coal-fired power Gallagher plant in southern Indiana. Duke Energy will spend about $93 million to settle clean air violations at the plant. Also, as part of the settlement, the company will continue to operate the 560 megawatts (MW) Gallagher facility. Duke Energy plans to convert the facility to gas-fired from coal-fired. Duke Energy estimates the cost to convert the units to gas from coal and install additional pollution controls at $80 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Medtronic, Inc. (MDT) recently started a feasibility study of an interventional treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) using a specially designed drug-eluting stent system. The study is known as ZEN (Zotarolimus-Eluting Peripheral Stent System for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Males with Sub-Optimal Response to PDE5 Inhibitors) and is being conducted under an investigational device exemption (IDE) issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study is expected to enroll 50 patients at up to ten medical centers in the United States over 2010. It has been seen that there is a link between erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease. ED is primarily caused by vascular disease due to the deterioration of the endothelium.
