Michigan State University Professor Kurt Thelen is heading up a unique partnership with DaimlerChrysler, the Environmental Protection Agency and Detroit-based NextEnergy that is aimed at turning contaminated industrial waste sites into biofuel cropland.
Through the partnership, Thelen is farming two acres at a 110-acre former industrial waste dumpsite outside Detroit to see if crops can be grown for ethanol and biodiesel fuel production. His first crops of soybeans, corn, sunflower, canola and switchgrass will be tested for their potential to be refined into renewable fuels.
Thelen’s effort—called the Rose Township Project—could serve as a model for potential reuse of hundreds of Superfund and brownfield sites nationwide, according to the EPA. It endorsed the research under the agency’s “Return to Use” initiative, designed to encourage the reuse of Superfund sites.
“Bio-fuels represent a huge opportunity to reduce our nation’s consumption of petroleum,” said Deb Morrissett, vp-regulatory affairs for the Chrysler Group, U.S. subsidiary of Germany-based DaimlerChrysler. “This project could give us a homegrown solution to our energy, environmental and economic challenges, while also returning these contaminated lands to use.”
Waste haulers used the Rose Township site for the unauthorized disposal of oils, paint sledges and solvents in the late 1960s. More than 5,000 drums of waste were removed from the site between 1979 and 1986. While DaimlerChrysler wasn’t responsible for all of the pollution at the Rose Township site, it agreed to take over the cleanup project in 1988.
Fuels produced from the crops grown via Thelen’s research will be tested at the National Biofuels Energy Laboratory located at NextEnergy Center, the headquarters of Michigan’s non-profit alternative energy business accelerator program, to see if they provide enough energy to be viable.

Interesting article on biofuels:

Key players: Four companies that are big in biofuels
Despite all the hoopla surrounding alternative energy, the four stocks listed below are not particularly expensive, and one, Petrobras, looks to be dirt-cheap. Only Avenine Renewable Energy is a pure play on biofules, and it's uinquestionably the riskiest of the four stocks.

sheesh I wish Bob would elaborate
I thought I remembered reading about RSHN labeling cans in 5 different languages that would include a couple (at least) European ones. I thought it was in a PR but I just read the available ones on Yahoo and didn't find it. It might have been hidden within the PR - like an extra bit of info.
You misspelled extremely.
Finally a good use for tofu!
I actually like the stuff...
stockefeller: I am staying tuned as well. Let me know what's up. Can I add to my wishes seeing these scamsters in an orange suited perp walk?
When symbol change?
BKMP ready for a turn around
c'mon RSHN papa needs a new pair of shoes!
When can we be rich?
Donde esta las dividendas?
When?
TIA
What's this rumor about a PR today?
Short interview on traders nation. See link in last PR. Interesting possibilities. Wonder what new blood in DC will mean for new efficient technologies.
I would like some money back! Post details on how I can do that. Any class action?
ahh Traders Nation. I will have to listen.
OT: If I had her number I wouldn't give it away!
I wish I had snagged some yesterday sub 1.10. Tis the season!
ROLLIN'
WOW! Great news! About time too!
Um.. that would appear to be good news.
Has anyone received their divys yet? Ameritrade has a row for the shares but it still has my BKMP share amount and not the new divy amount.
I would like to see RSHN sponser some amatuer sporting events like marathons and 10ks. Give them a sample or get the name on an event tshirt. That's advertising for a good 5 - 10 years.
Xgames, skiing, skateboard parks. For under 1-5K we should be able to get them name out.
Right place right time!
Hey I stayed in a motel in Rolla! Heck of a motel room.
Who wrote the post recently about selling below a certain level because they thought Michael Lynch would keep it above that level if everything was rosy with business?
Interesting timing...
I hope we are at the start of another news cycle.
OT but not really- I thought I was seeing a little too much of IZZE lately. It is all over the healthfood stores and even featured on a PBS Real Simple living lifestyle show as a table center piece. Pepsico getting payback for some underwriting?
LOL GO RSHN!
HEE HOO!
AH SO Nanoson - Premium for AMERICAN GINSENG. Not for politics but for most auspiscious blessing. CHI
I DO hope there are much bigger things going on.
Run for cover........
and a 3rd email from archive:
"I have gotten emails from many tonight and will tell U same.None of you = realize that J Minardi bullshit with SEC regarding attack on Knights, = Paul Taylor has made companies hold all NR's until all papers and = answers were put together.I spent time after close to point out many = good things. This is my own thoughts of past years of trading.Stop and = tell me one solid thing Even gave your group. He dug up me on Google by = typing in Frank Cornacchi, Those free shares I gave to hotstocks was for = promotion of a company GYS that had a good story but no money, 6 = Investors put up the shares so this is even attack on me. BIG DEAL.I = have been in TLND since nov 23 or so, in all splits,and have made over $ = 60,000, not counting Minardi 24,000 loss. I still have over 1 million = shares and am quite happy.I think we are on the brink of a huge win = MHO.But as I said to one earlier if U do not trust Sell and walk away.As = far as stock dropping I think most of its due to bad postings and the = board has become a liability to Tlno.. I hope you realize all above is my feelings and thoughts and not in no = way TLNO. I have this week also put my self in a nice position with ONTC as well. "
another:
"First off thanks for phone call you just made. This is in response to = conversation I had with one of you on ALTRIS I had yesterday telling = (and breaking my ground rules no talking about RB, but this is to = important) You do as you wish. And think. Do not sell TLNO and jump to ONTC stay on your ship you have,,,,,buy = whatever stock lowest if $$$ in hand. My ? TLNO=20 Big brother. I am going to be real careful adding names to this to important....Don't = want to miss no one. I just hope I got you all. If you wish to call me , and want to ask me = why? 705 75" ***** ". Maybe this will finally prove me wrong BUT I do not think so ------"
blast from the past:
March 11th, 2004
"Good Morning All: First off Lake Ontario had a good nite, I just called hospital. Today I feel we may go in double digits, no panic, no screaming, no Rah = Rah! We work as traders on stock exchange floor. FOCUS, when I see we = have a break or rest period. I will post "FUN TIME" go time to go away = from computer and relax. Last nite I had calls, we talked and a few I explain things I did and = how. I bought many shares just yesterday,NOW I HAVE A CHOICE, I can have = a day as yesterday or I can play QUARTER BACK. If I take this roll heavy = consecration has to be. Switching from AlaphaTrade to RB, place order = must be accurate. Such as .08 ...083 jumping I placed at .082 and missed = my cue. So If I flash on RB .09 buy at .09 no bidding, buy at 2500's or 3000or = 4000 or 5000 never over and don't cry at a drop of 2/10's it will be a = backfill making us stronger. DO NOT SAY YOU HAVE BEEN FILLED ON RB.After = 4: we gloat Anyone game email me back. Then I know how much power we have. Good Luck.... today we begin on a level playing field. ------=_"
This is a scam.
WHere in the hell is the SEC????
Why are these scams allowed to continue?
Is there a deep collusion?
one can only wonder why these scammers walk free.
They must have some dirt on those in power.
My "investment" in Teletinos/netco wiped me out. Precipitous drop in share price - blatant (in retrospect) FRAUD - LIES.
But I guess that is the world we live in huh? Up is down - wrong is right.
Governments don't care about company lies as long as power and money are consolidated. Fund my election and I'll not prosecute your ill gotten funds - that's the way it works. The system is corrupt. The stock market is a scam.
How deep does the scam go? Governments sign treaties with each other regarding the prosecution of crimes. Why are some crimes allowed?
"Keep expectations low" - who said that?
whatever happened to "we the people"?
which VOIP prs were not false?
Nice investment. ;)
More power to you if you are taking Taylor to task. Teletinos was a scam!
Frank/Chef hooked me into or worked to keep me long in the Taylor teletinos scam which resulted in a MAJOR fleecing of my retirement. Lies lies lies. Oh well, the money is all fake anyway.
Too bad Frank and the rest of us couldn't have all worked together better to somehow shut down Paul Taylor. That Telatinos scam was really WAY over the top.
Then again, seeing certain people fly off the handle over a message board (myself included) is a reminder to enjoy what you got cause there ain't no guarantees.
OT: anyone seen those tourettes guy videos yet? I think I have tourettes. Seriously. It would explain alot.
