with the stock in the toilet, I would think they would be trumpeting any "progress payments" from the roof.....or even a hint of sales, look how RKT was milked for the good PR.....
my opinion is they are desperately shopping for a buyer still, whatever the percent completed is, or how it's defined, or where it's stored.....from the last draconian layoff 8-K they could have easily cut "those engaged in processor sales" if they already had someone locked to buy these x% completed processors.....(then hire sales back later on, once they get over the hump of selling what they already have):
On January 3, 2014, the management of JBI, Inc. (the “Company”) announced to the employees of its production facility in Niagara Falls, New York its plan to reduce its workforce by twelve employees (representing approximately one-third of its workforce) in an effort to further reduce operating expenses and extend its cash position. The reduction plan was effective immediately and only included non-core function employees who were not primarily engaged in fuel production or processor sales.
Western Digital profit rises 28 pct
Reuters
3 minutes ago
Jan 22 (Reuters) - Western Digital Corp, the world's No. 1 hard-disk drive maker, reported a quarterly profit that beat Wall Street estimates, helped by sales of higher-margin data storage products to enterprise customers and gaming console makers.
Net income rose to $430 million, or $1.77 per share, in the second quarter ended Dec. 27 from $335 million, or $1.36 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned $2.19 per share beating analysts' expectations of $2.08 per share.
Revenue rose 4 percent to $3.97 billion. Analysts' on average were expecting revenue of $3.85 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
earnings after the bell today, lets see if WDC can just let the numbers speak for performance, and not their typical wishy-washy outlook....
(like they did the last few times, or many times before that, then the stock goes on to hit new highs!!!!...if they were actually somewhat less conservative in forward looking, imagine the possibilities...)
anyway, always sell a few before their earnings, historically can buy it back a bit cheaper.....if not, profit is profit....
as usual, my opinions on a fantastic solid stock and Co, which I will hold a core waiting for +100 target this year....
considering that a Co should have fillings such as periodic 10-Qs and the like, it seems like the least of their possible transgressions.....
as far is it being material, I guess it would depend on how much they gave this person relative to the Co's financials....
He was paid a huge signing bonus in liquid dollars
looks like the PROS are "digging their grave" once again with that bid drop!!!!!
PS: what BOD???????????????....how long has it been now????
Moral of the story: backup your stuff!!!!.....amazing how many people don't, I even backup my backups, storage is cheap....
while I don't agree with this policy, losing or damaging your phone, could have the same effect......
PS: I even once had the morons at the provider store wipe my smartphone when doing a warranty replacement!!!!
(MIT) DIGITAL CHESS REVIEW: One chess champion per laptop
New chess engines bring ancient game to unprecedented heights
http://tech.mit.edu/V133/N62/chess.html
By Roberto Perez-Franco
STAFF WRITER
January 15, 2014
Search in YouTube for “too weak, too slow” and you will find a video of two young men sitting across from each other at a small table, frantically moving carved tokens on a wooden grid and slapping a clock mercilessly. They are fighting each other to the death, with bravado and gusto, in one of the oldest battlefields known to the human mind: the chessboard. The cocky guy in the green shirt, with the looks of a Viking and the nose of a boxer, is a 22-year-old chap named Magnus Carlsen, who happens to be the strongest chess player to ever walk the earth. The other guy, at the receiving end of Magnus’ Muhammad Ali-esque taunts (“Too weak, too slow! C’mon! What, you wanna play?”) is his close friend and sparring partner, Grandmaster Laurent Fressinet.
Mean as he may sound, the awful truth is that Carlsen is right: Fressinet, and almost everyone else on the planet, is indeed too weak and too slow for him. None of us mere humans stand a chance against him: he is too fast, too strong and too accurate. Less than two months ago, he beat World Champion Vishy Anand in a match without losing a single game. Yet even Magnus, at the peak of his powers, refuses to meet one opponent in a match, notwithstanding the incessant pleadings from chess fans. That opponent is here in front of me as I type, quietly waiting for the champ to accept the challenge. Carlsen won’t budge, and is wise in doing so, because — as he and all other Grandmasters know — even he himself is too weak and too slow to stand a chance against this opponent. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the opponent I’m talking about is my laptop… and yours!
Back in 1996, when most of the current MIT undergrads were still in the process of being potty trained, Gary Kasparov — the Carlsen of the previous generation — lost his first game ever against Deep Blue, a top-secret, multi-million dollar supercomputer that IBM built using thousands of chess-specific processors with the sole purpose of defeating this one individual. Today, thanks to the increase in computing power of the average computer and to the appearance of a new generation of chess software, there is no longer need of specialized hardware to beat the best human: any decent laptop would maul World Champion Magnus Carlsen in a match.
At the core of this new software are algorithms that evaluate chess positions and calculate variations in order to decide on the best move. These algorithms are called chess engines, and — among the myriad currently available — at least two dozen have an estimated playing strength (or ELO) higher than the best human ever. Seldom have humans reached the rarefied stratosphere of speed and precision where these chess engines fight. Arguably the strongest chess engine of all is Houdini, developed by Robert Houdart. Since its appearance in the chess world back in 2010, Houdini has been widely regarded as the best chess player ever in the long and rich history of the game. A new version is released every year, and each one exceeds the previous one. The current release, Houdini 4, is the de facto gold standard against which all other chess engines are measured.
Humans are not real competitors against Houdini, and for a long time, neither were other engines. But now, for the first time in four years, something else has reached Houdini’s level of play. Not one, but two engines have risen with a legitimate challenge to the alpha dog: Komodo and Stockfish. Together, they made headlines in chess circles when they obtained the two highest scores in the most recent Thoresen Chess Engines Competition (TCEC), above Houdini and many other engines. TCEC is regarded, against the wishes of its organizer Martin Thoresen, as an unofficial world championship for chess engines. The TCEC final between Komodo and Stockfish was a very dramatic event, for many reasons. Not only was it the first time such a final did not feature Houdini, but also it was being played at the same time as the human World Chess Championship was being decided in Chennai, India.
At least for this author, the TCEC final was more exciting than the human championship. Stockfish qualified first for the final without losing a single game, while Komodo qualified second with no loses to Houdini. After a long and hard-fought series of 48 games, Komodo won the final by a narrow margin over Stockfish. In a dramatic twist, Komodo’s main programmer, Don Dailey (who once worked at MIT) didn’t get to see the triumph; he died of acute leukemia on the same day the final started. His partner in the development of Komodo, Grandmaster Larry Kaufman, an MIT alum himself, dedicated the victory to Don. Together with Komodo’s new programmer, Mark Lefler, Larry released the victorious version of Komodo under the name Komodo TCEC, to a fan base that was clamoring for it like teenagers in line for a Justin Bieber concert. In a touching gesture of gallantry and admiration, Stockfish’s team, led by developers Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, and Joona Kiiski, also released the runner-up version of Stockfish under the moniker “DD,” an open homage to Don Dailey.
The three-way rumble between Houdini, Komodo and Stockfish in the latest TCEC season revived enthusiasm in computer chess and spurred a sort of arms race, as the teams behind each engine prepare stronger versions for the next TCEC, due to start in late January. Larry Kaufman, regarded as an expert on how to evaluate positions in chess, has thoroughly “taught” Komodo the ropes. As a result, Komodo’s play in long games is rock solid, earning praise from world-class experts such as Boris Avrukh and Roman Dzindzichashvili. Not to be outdone, team Stockfish is leveraging the power of open-source to summon the creative power of a dozen developers spread around the world, and is constantly testing new ideas using a cloud-based network of computers volunteered by Stockfish fans, who like the fact that Stockfish is offered free of cost and its code is available online.
There are a lot of expectations from thousands of fans around the world: Will Komodo retain the crown? Will Stockfish prove the superiority of the open-source model? Will Houdini regain and retain the top spot it enjoyed for so long? The answers to these questions remain to be seen. But, regardless of the next TCEC’s result, the clear winner in this new rivalry is the world of chess, which has now access — even for free — to top-class chess analysis tools that were thought impossible just a generation ago.

almost hit 90 today, looks like my 100 prediction for 2014 might come early, IMO.....
Thanks, WDC!!!!!.....
just because something is repeated as "flagship" over, and over, and over......does not mean it will not sink......
do you really believe this Co should have a market cap of over half a billion dollars????
I hate to admit it but Cytryx is right about the fact that we should be at a dollar or better, atleast with the insider info we were given that would lead us to believe such stuff!
nah, he would never "do" fraud, didn't you read him say so????.....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=95939986
I am not this person y’all are making me out to be. I don’t do fraud. Never have. Never will. I don’t take money from people. I am just not that person.
thanks for the heads-up, I'll start telegraphing some MM™ signal JBII trades to let all my NSS stuck-on-stupid cretinous short buddies know about it.....
PS: wow, that was close, stock is up almost half a % as I started sending the word out.......
got to wonder how many other ways they milked this cow besides just shares......would love to see those fat "company" expense accounts and other lunatic-fringe benefits.....
seriously, when a person can sell his own Co his own tape reading equipment, then write it off, or sell it his own useless dirty bomb detector, I'm pretty sure it's not a stretch to assume many other pasteurized perks have been extracted.....
(no shame about the greater-than-$1 salary, so why give a MOO about the stuff that is not spelled out in the filings????)
In the face of the substantial evidence presented at trial and the jury’s verdict, Harris repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, insisting that “[t]his elaborate story is not what happened . . . . I was completely transparent.” “I didn’t steal no money from nobody.” He imagined that “[t]he jury convicted me because I got scared and I fled, I panicked. That’s the only reason.” Finally, he implored the court, “[y]our Honor, I am not this person y’all are making me out to be. I don’t do fraud. Never have. Never will. I don’t take money from people. I am just not that person.” At no point did the court indicate that his silence would have been held against him.
what a nutjob, hope he is enjoying his 23 years.......
Reporting for the environment.
ever see their junkyard????.....wonder who will get stuck with the bill to clean that mess up when the Co sinks.....
then again, the area has a history of this kind of thing, with Cos leaving a mess behind them.....
yes, I think Middle Earth got assigned around middle school.....the books were good stuff, and kept imaginations active.....I know I devoured it....
the movies turned out to be pretty decent too!!!
PS: some trivia, Peter Jackson also did one of the goriest movies ever, at least at the time....I saw this long before he did any Tolkien, and thought it was brilliant (if you like that kind of movie, it is very graphic)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braindead_(film)
Braindead, released as Dead Alive in North America, is a 1992 New Zealand zombie horror comedy gore film co-written and directed by Peter Jackson.
The film was written by Jackson with his partner Fran Walsh and Stephen Sinclair. It was a commercial failure at the time of its release, but has since gained a cult status following Jackson's fame with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, receiving positive reviews from contemporary critics.[2][3]
I think you need to listen to the AGM.
did you forget about all that safe-harbor stuff in the beginning????
"boilerplate" that seems to have a JBII knack for being more accurate than what they *project*.....
(also the weird coincidences that they have said MANY things in the past that was....*errr*, *uhhh*, not exactly inline with expectations over time....)
PS: but hey, everyone should get a free pass or two for small mistakes......it's not like shareholders are suffering because of them, or anything like that......
good point on the usual made-up descriptions....."compression" does not apply to something making new lows all the time......
PS: I guess *resets* is a nice euphemism, though.....
Original Battle of the Sexes:
when you think you have seen every weird thing:
when I see a filing saying JB specifically took a pay cut, I will give it some credence vs MB speculation.....
"select key employees" has the typical JBII vagueness.....the "spin" is assuming who this applies to with no evidence....
A week or two ago I'd posted that I believed that John would most likely take a pay reduction if needed.........here it is......."The Company expects to reduce overall weekly payroll expense by approximately $17,500 through these measures, as well as through temporary pay reductions of select key employees"
Ok, I'm waiting for that negative spin.
I think that JBI needed to thin the heard a little, now they are being forced to do so. This will make them leaner and stronger in the not so distant future.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On January 3, 2014, the management of JBI, Inc. (the “Company”) announced to the employees of its production facility in Niagara Falls, New York its plan to reduce its workforce by twelve employees (representing approximately one-third of its workforce) in an effort to further reduce operating expenses and extend its cash position. The reduction plan was effective immediately and only included non-core function employees who were not primarily engaged in fuel production or processor sales. This reduction is part of the Company’s previously disclosed plans to continue to aggressively monitor and reduce operating costs. The Company expects to reduce overall weekly payroll expense by approximately $17,500 through these measures, as well as through temporary pay reductions of select key employees. The Company does not expect it will incur any material charges as a result of this reduction.
This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the expected financial effect of the closing including estimate of costs. Statements that may be considered forward-looking include statements incorporating terms such as "expects," "believes," "intends," “estimates”, “forecasts,” "anticipates," “may,” “should”, and similar terms that relate to future events, performance, or results of the Company and specifically include statements made in this Report regarding the expected costs, savings, and timing of the closing of the Company’s recycling facility as well as the reduction in workforce at such facility. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the historical experience of the Company and management's present expectations or projections, including unexpected adjustments made in connection with the preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements.

if the rupture disk output is plumbed into the stack, it's kind of a moot point if it came from scrubbers or not.....
(and it makes sense to me it would be plumbed into some type of external output, so crap is not spewed all over the inside of the processor building, including people, if it bursts....)
History vs Infomercials!!!

During this recent period where USSE/SSTP moved from Mississippi to restructure in Baytown, Vee-Go has expanded its goals. We have entered into a JV relationship with Sunrise Oil, LLC and Angel Eyes Produce, Inc. (www.angeleyesproduce.com) whereby we will be using Sunrise to purify used restaurant oils in a 10,000 square foot area of a 260,000 square foot facility owned by my partner. The oils will be used to heat the facility and power generators to produce electricity. The power will be used in another 10,000 square foot wing of the facility where the Vee-Go/AEP JV will operate. That entity, to be known as Angel Eyes Produce of New England, is the NE licensee for a revolutionary process developed by AEP during the past 10 years. That process enables us to grow certified organic vegetable crops indoors in large clean room environments using the recycled vegetable oils to provide heat and power. The crops are grown in super-nutriated soils that have never been exposed to pesticides or fertilizers and which have had all pathogens removed to produce some of the most viable living soil available. This should not be confused with hydroponics which do not even approach the quality and viability of AEP living soils. The crops are grown under certified organic growing techniques, but exceed organic standards because they are also grown in organic environments free of the pollution, acid rain, mercury, diesel soot, bacteria, spores, pathogens, etc that compromise organic and non-organic crops grown outdoors. Because we can grow 24/7/365 on multiple levels, we are able to grow on one indoor acre, as much as on 150 to 1,000 outdoor acres depending on the crop. During this time of concern about clean water resources, the AEP growing technology is particularly relevant because all water used is recycled within the growing rooms. The only water leaving the facility is that which is contained in the cells of the crops.

isn't this a contradiction????
We are a private group of former acquaintances, employees, friends of Mr.
Rivera, but we are not associated with any of his former companies.
I cannot comment on the future of SSTP without exposing you to legal sanctions as an insider.
if he isn't "associated", why not???
PS: wasn't a "former landlord" John Stanton, currently in prison????
For what it's worth, here is an email exchange. Maybe there's hope, maybe it ain't.
Hello Curtis,
We are a private group of former acquaintances, employees, friends of Mr.
Rivera, but we are not associated with any of his former companies. We purchased the remainder of the former plant from the former landlord to whom it was awarded by the courts to pay for past due rents. It was being cut up for scrap before we rescued it, raised our own private funding, and began our attempt to bring the technology to the world using our own catalysts and sweat equity. I cannot comment on the future of SSTP without exposing you to legal sanctions as an insider. I am holding on to my own SSTP stock that I purchased years ago, just as you are doing with yours.
Merry Christmas,
Michael Garjian

3. Winter The plant environment is different from the very hot summer to the cold winter. While we have things in place to stop
pipe freezing and cold areas, in cases, cold related issues can rear its ugly head when least expected. It is a challenge when dealing
with low temperatures and high wind lake effects. We are being vigilant to correct any issues that arise.
It does make you wonder if the spin off had this intent all along.
very likely that Patriot was Peabody's junk being separated out, then rebranded with a nice name.....

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-02/patriot-coal-creditors-seek-to-probe-peabody-over-spinoff.html
Patriot (PCXCQ) Coal Corp.’s creditors want to investigate Peabody Energy Corp.’s 2007 spinoff of the coal producer, saying the transaction rid Peabody of $600 million in health-care and environmental liabilities.
“Patriot is a Peabody creation,” lawyers for creditors wrote in a court filing. “Peabody selected which of its mines would become Patriot’s. Peabody determined what projections would underlie Patriot’s business plan. Peabody decided which liabilities it would retain and which it would unload onto Patriot.”
wow, it takes some real predictive powers to see that a crappy stock with a crappy history will be trending down with a crappy price, over and over.....
*shocka*
yep, and that was a spinoff from the POS Lucent.......amazing after all these years I have a handful of LSI straggler shares in my account, think they were only a couple bucks PPS way back then.....
one big reason has been the rise of android.....but the analysts are typically shallow, and paint things in black and white, as if one platform being more popular means the demise of the other......there is plenty of room for both.....
PS: they were doing the same thing last year to the hard disk sector, saying solid-state and mobile would be the demise of HDD......of course, they are both doing well and growing, and serve different purposes.....now the genius analysts suddenly realize that HDD capacity needs will grow exponentially too, as SSD is too expensive for bulk storage in the rapidly expanding cloud, and big data.....(for example, check out the chart for WDC and new targets, now that they realize what has always been obvious, one size does not fit all)....
in short, the analyst "experts" are short-sighted!!!!

I see no "conspiracy theory" in any of this, but it was kind of unexpected to find out this has happened several times before.....besides that, I agree with your comments about management.....
yeah, thank goodness the PPS of 13 cents has not been affected too much.....break out the party favors......
Hint: That this new revelation has not affected the stock price is a dead give away that it don't mean shit.
just sayin'
