SEC Expected To Vote On Short Sale Rule Feb 24
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is scheduled to vote Wednesday, Feb. 24 on final rules to rein in short selling.
The SEC has asked for comments on whether it should reinstate a short selling restriction known as the "uptick" rule, in which investors can only short a stock after it rose or ticked higher.
Regulators and industry insiders agree that the previous uptick rule isn't workable with current lightening speed trades. But the SEC is expected to approve a modified rule designed to put a stop to short selling as stocks are falling. That rule will be the next major action taken by the SEC.
SEC is considering whether the short selling rule should be market-wide or apply just to individual securities that are seeing a downturn.

Love for Nature Has Guided Turner's Life
By Pete Bodo, New York Times
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Knee-deep in the clear, chilly waters of Cherry Creek, on the Flying D ranch, Reed Beauregard Turner expertly casts a grasshopper dry-fly tight to a grassy bank, where pugnacious brown trout lurk. He could hardly be described as a young man with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Actually, the 32-year-old Turner bears the load for only the 1.7 million acres accumulated since 1987 by his father, the billionaire Ted Turner.
Before then, the elder Turner was perhaps best known for saving nothing more ecologically significant than a struggling major league baseball team called the Atlanta Braves. But through his land acquisitions, Ted Turner, 61, has recast himself as a visionary environmentalist as well as the largest private landholder in the United States. While he has cranked out the checks at a pace that invites writer's cramp, the stewardship of those enormous, noncontiguous ranches and properties scattered mostly through the Western United States has become the lifework of the second youngest of Turner's five children, the one known as Beau.
Vaulting out of the family pecking order to become the de facto manager for the Turner properties, Beau Turner has a daunting mandate: to pursue ranching and related, sustainable enterprises while promoting conservation, with a bias toward native species.
On various ranches, the Turners' livestock is bison (over all, their herd numbers about 30,000 head), which are indigenous to the West but, unlike cows and sheep, do not graze down to bare earth. The Turners are also working to restore the endangered prairie dogs — which most ranchers consider vermin — as well as the black-footed ferret, a predator of prairie dogs.
Breaking rank with most ranchers, the Turners also support the reintroduction of wolves. They are hoping that the wolves from nearby Yellowstone National Park will colonize the Flying D, even if some predatory animals will eventually be shot.
The Turners' vision is taking shape on a vast, closely watched canvas, with Beau Turner doing most of the brushwork.
"Beau's not just involved with the properties; he's on innumerable boards," his father said. "His job is to oversee a massive amount of property and to be a leader in the environmental movement."
Beau Turner is the chairman of the board for the Turner Endangered Species Fund and a trustee for the family-run Turner Foundation, which awarded almost $50 million in grants last year, almost all of it to environmental groups and projects.
Arguably, Beau Turner is already the most influential citizen/environmentalist in the nation. That power occasionally causes him some stress — although not as much as he experienced as a 10-year-old during the waning days of the Cold War, when the combination of his father's "negativism" about global politics and Beau's obsession with world peace caused him to have nightmares about a nuclear holocaust.
"Sometimes I wake up at night thinking how much is at stake, and realizing how big this job really is," Beau Turner said recently. "But I love what I do more than anything else on earth. And what's more important, I remind myself that in the end it's all about people. I'm working with a great team, and I trust them so much that it really takes the pressure off and calms me down."
The major parties in the conservation and environmental movements, which span a broad spectrum of green, recognize the power and wealth that comes along with the Turner sanction, even though some proactive aspects of the Turners' operations and their philosophical underpinnings — such as timber harvesting and big-game hunting — may be at cross-purposes with those organizations' mission statements.
"Beau, like Ted, seems like a dyed- in-the-wool conservationist," said Donal O'Brien Jr., chairman of both the National Audubon Society and the Atlantic Salmon Federation U.S. "They are also very private and individualistic, which means they don't partner as often with other groups as some might like."
Ted Turner Says Clean Energy Echoes Cable’s Success
April 27 2009 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire Ted Turner says clean- energy technology is “the greatest business opportunity that the world has ever seen,” reminding him of cable television back when he founded CNN.
“The more windmills there are, the better, and the more solar panels,” Turner said in an interview. “The field is wide open. This is a startup, like cable TV was 40 years ago.”
Turner, the former vice chairman of Time Warner Inc., is the 376th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, according to Forbes magazine. It has also called him the largest individual landholder in the U.S.
“I’m putting my money where my mouth is and I’ve made a multimillion investment in solar power,” Turner, 70, said in the interview in Washington on April 24. “I’m looking to make an investment in wind power as well.”
Turner said he has a “multimillion-dollar” stake in First Solar Inc., the world’s largest maker of thin-film solar power modules. In 2007, Turner sold DT Solar, a commercial solar- project installer, to First Solar for $34 million.
Lisa Morse, a spokeswoman for Tempe, Arizona-based First Solar, wasn’t available for comment. Phillip Evans, a spokesman for Turner, didn’t respond to an e-mail request for information about his holdings.
First Solar rose $4.54, or 3 percent, to $152 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading and has climbed 10 percent this year.
Solar Analysis
Turner said he may expand his solar investments. If he enters the wind business as well, he said that wouldn’t put him in competition with his friend T. Boone Pickens, chief executive officer of BP Capital LLC, because the field is so open.
Turner also has given money to George Washington University in Washington to support a new Institute for Analysis of Solar Energy. Barbara Tesner, assistant vice president of development for the university, declined to specify how much Turner donated.
Turner said “one big question mark” hanging over the alternative-energy industry is the climate change legislation Congress is currently working on.
“One reason we created this institute, they’re going to have, as I understand it, a government relations component, and we’re going to lobby for a strong energy bill that encourages the development of clean, renewable energy,” said Turner.
“It’s absolutely imperative that we immediately, as fast as we humanly can, within 10 years, phase out major fossil fuel sources and change them over to clean renewable energy,” he said
Turner founded the Cable News Network in 1980. He is chairman of Turner Enterprises Inc., a closely held company based in Atlanta that manages his investments and land holdings, including more than 2 million acres in the U.S. and Argentina.

I can't get access because I don't have the Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN)
PPIRS is a shared data warehouse of report cards that detail a vendor’s performance on current (or completed) contracts. Government access is restricted to those individuals who are working on source selections. Contracting officials and source selection team members are the only personnel with need to PPIRS access. Contractors may view only their own data. A contractor must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system and must have created a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) in the CCR profile to access their PPIRS information.

And there's even more that's not reported
"Trades in certain classes of securities, such as Rule 144A securities, are reported to the ORF, but not disseminated. Non-disseminated securities will not be included in either the daily short sale volume file or the monthly short sale transaction file."
"Tape reports are submitted to FINRA for public dissemination by the appropriate exclusive Securities Information Processor (‘‘SIP’’), while non-tape reports are submitted to FINRA, but are not submitted to the SIP for public dissemination. FINRA will not be including non-tape reports in either the daily short sale volume file or the monthly short sale transaction file. Accordingly, in those instances where the short sale indicator is only included in the related non-tape report, the short sale data published in the daily and monthly files may be under-inclusive. Similarly, the published figures will not include odd lots since these transactions are not disseminated to the consolidated tape."
"Once the Daily Short Sale Volume File is made publicly available at the end of each trading day, FINRA notes that users of such data should not expect the daily and monthly data to reconcile because, among other things, monthly transaction data will include reporting through the end of FINRA transaction reporting hours that terminate as late as 8:00 p.m., while daily volume reports will only include volume reported during regular trading hours."
"FINRA will not incorporate trading information into the daily short sale volume file that has not been executed and reported within the trading day. While members generally are required to report trades in equity securities to FINRA within 90 seconds, a firm could improperly delay reporting of short sales until well after the close, which would result in the under-reporting of over-the-counter short sale volume."

Something brewing here
Nice volume today
Why not MetSC? Why not SunSC?
How many do you need?
That's what I would guess also
Maybe you can't? I don't know, but they are definitely separate registrations because it's a new cage code
I think everything is the same, just a name change
There will probably be an amendment / name change here:

Notice the LLC
The name change required new CCR registration

OTC is Pink Sheets and Bulletin Board - Pink is OTC
Over-the-counter (finance) From Wikipedia
OTC-traded stocks
In the U.S., over-the-counter trading in stock is carried out by market makers that make markets in OTCBB and Pink Sheets securities using inter-dealer quotation services such as Pink Quote (operated by Pink OTC Markets) and the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_(finance)
Good luck with that
As of yesterday the AS is still the same
Don't forget about MetSC and SunSC
but I don't think it's going to come from there, most likely here, if at all.
