Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,Fort Irwin to build a 500 megawat solar farm | solar.coolerplanet.com
We know that GE's CEO has lunch 2X a week with the Brass in Washington... We know that GE has the most to gain or loose should they not get the contract to participate in this two billion dollar project. GE Infrastructure, GE Wind, GE... the list goes on and I am confident that all of the right people are talking to the right people. We think that understanding energy management and creating a system for open architecture prior to building the project is a must.

Hydrogen On Demand Facts or Ficton?
July 15, 2008
Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,Hydrogen on demand | www.panacea-bocaf.org
Facts can be difficult at best to come by in new fields such as Hydrogen on demand fuel cell production. There are many for profit companies (small and obscure), that promise you they will double your gas savings, IRS credits, zero emissions, and more... and then they only offer you a 7 day warranty on their products. http://cgi.ebay.com/Hybrid-Conversion-Hydrogen-on-Demand-Gas-to-Water-Kit_W0QQitemZ170238642219QQihZ007QQcategoryZ1467QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ReturnPolicy You would really have to wonder after reading only that if this wasn't snake oil! I will do my best to attempt to point you in the real direction and to cover many of the issues associated with this rekindled phenomenon in my following analysis...

New US Pasport technology includes RFID... "Who is at risk?"
September 10, 2007
Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,DHS Reminds Carriers and Traveling Public About the End of the Temporary WHTI Accommodation | www.dhs.gov
This article is very informative when it comes to the deadlines for how we can travel abroad, it gives us the cutoff and has some good links to get your passport updated/renewed... This article also gives us an open door to discuss and explore additional concerns that are being voiced about the technology that is being used to store our private credentials.

September 4, 2007
Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,Welcome to London: Your Luggage Is Missing | online.wsj.com
I sympathize with everyone who has gone through this nightmare and I have been there myself from El Paso to Las Vegas where they not only lost my luggage but lost the whole airplane... Don't grieve though, there is hope. We have a real solution that when read will become crystal clear and costs pennies to implement. COTS RFID coupled with a little heard of (OS), can fix this nightmare if it will only find some traction!

Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,Singapore Seeks Weapons, Training for New F-15s | www.defenseindustrydaily.com
Many of us are following the big names like Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin... But sometimes their names do not have to be on the headlines of international articles to find that they are continuing to cash in on some really expensive add-on contracts. This article proves to us that while a Boeing or GE may get the press, that other aerospace and defense contractors are still knocking down some pretty good contracts... I think we can assume that the relationships that have been forged have something to do with it.
