The desalination plant in Victoria will play a key role in meeting the needs of the drought-prone areas of southern and eastern Australia by turning sea water into 40 billion gallons of drinking water per year. This will reach 3.5 million people in Melbourne and adjoining areas. Under the $120 million contract, Tyco Flow Control will supply 6,200 mild steel pipes, stretching across 53 miles and connecting the desalination plant to the Melbourne water supply system. Tyco Flow Control&#8217;s innovative flow management technology enhances the safe and efficient delivery of water to homes, schools and communities. ]]></description>

From the second quarter of 2010, it will begin shifting some operations from the East Hartford facility to Columbus, Georgia, Singapore and Japan. Pratt &#38; Whitney, which is suffering due to sagging demand from airlines, employs 35,000 workers worldwide, with 11,000 in Connecticut.

Dutch aircraft leasing firm AerCap Holdings (AER) said on Friday it would buy Genesis Lease Ltd. (GLS) in an all-stock deal worth $302.6 million for greater scale and access to more funds for aircraft purchases. The weak market condition has created the necessity for such consolidation. The combined entity will create the largest publicly listed aircraft leasing company, controlling about 5% of the total leased market. With 358 commercial aircraft and 83 engines that are either owned, on order, under contract or letter of intent, or managed, the combined company is expected to significantly contribute to the recovery of the industry.

But ask the next 10 people you meet to tell you something… anything… about it, and I’ll wager that you’ll get deafening silence. The reason? All of us take electricity – and the system that generates and distributes it – for granted. And despite having spent my entire professional life as an electrical engineer, I’m guilty as charged, too. So what is the Smart Grid? How will it work?

If you are like me, this is what comes to mind when you imagine Hawaii. What may not come to mind, though, when you think of America’s 50th state are its energy resources – and specifically, the fact that it gets 77% of its power from oil-fired power plants. That’s a unique statistic within the United States. Coal-fired plants provide 14% of power, and the remaining 9% comes from renewable sources like wind and solar energy. Suffice it to say, tourism is Hawaii’s largest industry, with agriculture playing a major role, too. And not unlike the rest of the country, the one thing needed to keep it all running smoothly is ]]></description>

The company is already a leading international supplier of Smart Grids and continues to strengthen this position. Intelligent power grids, or smart grids, are based on the conventional power grids which transport electricity from large power plants to individual households. However, digital technology allows individual households or businesses to manage their electricity more efficiently, allowing them to receive, or deliver back to the grid, electricity from other sources like wind or solar power facilities, or even from batteries in electric cars. According to studies, more than a billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions could be abated with intelligent power networks by 2020. Smart Grids are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Federal Reserve on Thursday said that it has sanctioned $6.5 billion in loans to investors under its Term Asset-backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF). This action follows investors’ application for loans to buy securities backed by auto, credit card and other types of consumer loans, in the seventh round of such funding. The current loan amount is down from $6.9 billion requested in August but up from $5.4 billion in July. Also, it is substantially lower from $11.45 billion in June. The overall decrease in investors&#8217; appetite this month for government loans indicates that the investors are not relying much on the Fed for funding to buy these securities. A total of $14.7 billion was borrowed by investors for purchasing eligible asset-backed securities sold by companies including American Express ]]></description>

The $150 million project is intended to make the electricity distribution network more efficient, reduce emissions and create at least 500 new jobs over a three-year period. The company’s utility subsidiary AEP Ohio expects the project to reduce energy consumption by 18,000MWh, peak demand by 15MW and lower consumer cost by $5.75 million. The project was initiated in response to the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) bid to increase the application of smart grid technology for optimizing the use of energy delivery on a regional and national level through creation of regional smart grid demonstration projects. AEP Ohio will deploy the project in northeast central Ohio in fiscal 2010. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[General Electric Co. (GE) and Rolls-Royce Group are gathering support for the second F-35 engine program, which Defense Secretary Robert Gates and President Barack Obama have singled out as unnecessary in the tightening credit environment. Representatives of the two companies met top Pentagon officials recently to offer a fixed-price package on about 100 low-rate production engines for the F-35 fighter. The deal would cover low-rate production engines to be built from 2012 to 2015. Without F-35, GE would be out of the large fighter-aircraft engine business. Gates recently reiterated his opposition in Fort Worth, Texas, where Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) builds the F-35. Lawmakers backing the program are of the view that continuing work on a second engine will stimulate competition and lower costs on the massive $300 billion fighter ]]></description>

The business has drawn interest from GE’s rivals United Technologies Corp. (UTX) and Tyco International (TYC). Security assets have traditionally attracted private equity buyers, but due to the difficult economic environment and an expressed interest by GE in selling these assets to a strategic buyer, bid amounts could be depressed for such a product portfolio.

Yesterday, fifteen of the thirty DJIA components closed higher; 245 of the S&#38;P500 closed up and 42 of the NASDAQ100 finished on higher ground.  Trading was subdued with NYSE volume of 1.05 billion well below last year&#8217;s average of 1.49 billion.  The DJIA gained 4 points to close virtually flat at 9543; the NASDAQ and S&#38;P500 each recorded gains of 0.01%.  Declining issues beat those that advanced eight to seven.  Treasuries were mixed after the government successfully auctioned $39 billion ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Electricity and Water in Kuwait recently selected General Electric Co. (GE) for building a 2,000 megawatt power plant. The company had submitted a bid for 770 million dinars ($2.7 billion) for the Subbiya plant. In April, Kuwait floated a new tender for building turbines for a plant in the north of the country. At that time, the Ministry had expected costs for bringing the plant into effect by 2011 to be far less than 700 million dinars. Kuwait has one of the world’s highest per capita power consumption rates. Apart from GE, other companies that initially qualified for the project included Germany&#8217;s Siemens (SI), Japan&#8217;s Mitsui &#38; Co. (MITSY) and Marubeni Corp., Spain&#8217;s Iberdrola Ingenieria Y Construccion and Canada&#8217;s SNC-Lavalin Ltd. General Electric has products and services ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American Express Co. (AXP) reported a slight improvement in its July credit-card defaults. Some of the credit metrics showed an improvement over the previous month. Net loss rate has fallen to 8.92% in July, versus 10.18% in the previous month. Net charge-offs (gross amount of loans charged off as bad debt) have also shrank to 9.2% in July versus 9.9% in June. The rate of delinquencies (failure to pay mortgage dues) slipped to 4.2% last month from 4.4% in June. Despite the modest improvement, American Express&#8217; rate of losses on credit-card loans is still significantly higher than the 5.3% rate it experienced in the second quarter of last year. Credit-card losses have become the norm among lenders as consumers struggle to pay their debt amid rising unemployment and decline in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team As the details of yesterday’s shareholder meeting at General Electric (NYSE: GE) hit newsstands, we are left with the impression that GE is looking better and better as an investment. Yes, shareholders were pretty livid about the dividend cut and the amount of CEO Jeff Immelt’s compensation. Yes, earnings have dropped 35% and GE has a number of divisions like it’s entertainment and financing units that have performed poorly. And yes, there was even talk of breaking up GE into smaller companies. But it’s all a smokescreen. GE is looking better considering its size, and markets that it serves. In fact, earnings actually beat forecasts. Yes, forecasts were low – but again who cares, earnings forecasts have all been guesswork anyways over the last ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team If the markets weren’t walking on eggshells already, they didn’t need an outbreak of swine flu to put them back in the intensive care ward. We’ve been looking for proximate causes for a pullback in the markets, but swine flu wasn’t one of them. For the ultra-cynical, start shorting airline stocks like Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), and buying any biotech that has to do with flu vaccines or heap masks. It’ll be the knee-jerk reactions to any whisper of plague. But it might be too late to go that route for investors; the biggest gains have already been made. For traders it’s a different story – they should love the volatility this adds. For investors looking for what’s ]]></description>

The Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s 500 index rose 13.04, or 1.5%, to 869.60.  The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 20.53, or 1.2%, to 1,673.07.  The broad-based S&#38;P 500, which recorded its steepest six-week gain since 1938, is now up 29% since hitting its 12-year nadir on March 9. As risk appetite grew treasuries declined, taking the yield on the 2-year to 0.981% and the 10-year to 2.953% as prices fell 4/32 and 30/32, respectively on Friday. The Vix, CBOE&#8217;s volatility index, declined 2.59 points over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist, Investment U The World’s Largest “Air” Force… Mention “Air Force One” to someone here in the U.S. and visions of a Boeing 747-400 with the Presidential Seal on the side quickly come to mind. But now there’s another new meaning associated with the phrase, and it’s good news for the guy that gets to ride in the jet. In 2008 America became the global force in wind-generated electricity. President Obama can take heart in the fact that his pledge to cut imports of foreign oil is already underway, at least in the wind power arena. According to the Global Wind Energy Council, last year America’s installed capacity of wind generator capacity totaled 25 gigawatts, edging out Germany, the previous leader. The U.S. added 8.4 gigawatts ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Louis Basenese, Advisory Panelist, Investment U Senior Analyst, The Oxford Club We’ve endured three consecutive weeks of losses for the S&#38;P 500 (.INX). Never fun. But if you’re an income investor, ala Charles Dickens, the worst of times is creating the best of times… Dividend yields now rest close to 15-year highs. Plus, the premiums from writing covered calls (the only safe options strategy) are significantly higher thanks to the extreme market volatility. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an attractive one-two income-earning punch we shouldn’t ignore. So how do we play it? Not with the usual suspects… Income Investors: GE Is A Dog at Any Price There’s something about an adolescent stock price on General Electric (NYSE: GE) that turns most income investors rabid.

		<description><![CDATA[General Electric (NYSE: GE) reported a 47% decline in their fourth quarter earnings almost a week ago. But we’re still trying to get a handle on just what GE does. Looking at their website, we’ve discovered they have no less than 14 divisions. Aviation, Electrical Distribution, Business financing, Healthcare, Media &#38; Entertainment, Rail, Water, Appliances, Consumer Electronics, Energy, Consumer Financing, Lighting, Oil &#38; Gas, and Security. It sounds more like a phone book directory than a company’s business segments. Consider that GE’s revenue is almost 30 billion more than the gross domestic product of Kuwait. No matter how you cut it, that’s a massive organization. But in the grand scheme of things, the number of business segments doesn’t matter as long as GE can remain profitable. The problem is that ]]></description>
