New Index Tracks World’s Alternative Energy Stocks
New York, NY (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) May 17, 2006 -- The Ardour Global Index (Ticker: AGIGL) of 74 global alternative energy stocks, and its related sub-indexes covering North America (Ticker: AGINA) and Europe (Ticker: AGIEM) commenced real-time price dissemination today. Dow Jones Indexes serves as calculation agent for the indexes (www.ardourglobalindexes.com). The AGI is the worlds only global alternative energy index.
Says Walter Nasdeo, Consulting Analyst to Ardour Global Indexes, Alternative energy is a truly global business, where technologies, regulations and the impulses driving the sector differ from one country to the next.
A global index is the best way to capture the full breadth of opportunity. The capitalization weighted, float-adjusted family of indexes incorporates companies engaged in five primary alternative energy sectors: alternative energy resources (incl.
wind, solar, ethanol bio-mass and others), distributed generation, environmental controls, energy efficiency and enabling technologies.The Ardour Global Alternative Energy Indexes were designed to serve as fair, impartial and transparent measures of the performance of the alternative energy industry.
So far this year, the AGI has risen over 40%, reflecting surging interest in the sector caused by high energy prices, security concerns and environmental issues, as well as improving company fundamentals.Says Joseph LaCorte, AGI Index Committee Member, The transformation of the worlds energy supply from fossil fuels to alternatives and renewables could become the first significant economic driver of the twenty-first century.
The AGI is the bellwether for that transformation. The Ardour Global Index is also a pure-play index and includes only companies principally engaged in the alternative energy business.
Says Nasdeo, The AGI provides a pure indication of industry performance because it includes only pure play companies whose sole purpose is alternative energy.
Large cap diversified companies such as General Electric and British Petroleum are excluded from the index because their alternative energy businesses exert relatively insignificant influences on their share price performance.
Public utilities and companies engaged in nuclear energy are also excluded.Ardour Global Indexes is in negotiations with a number of exchanges and investment management firms in the US and Europe to offer and list investment and risk management products on the indexes.Detailed information, including constituent data, rules and price information, on the AGI family of alternative energy indexes is available at www.ardourglobalindexes.com.TickersArdour Global Index (Ticker: AGIGL) Ardour Global Index Extra Liquid (Ticker: AGIXL) AGI North America (Ticker: AGINA) AGI North America Extra Liquid (Ticker: AGINAXL) AGI Europe (Ticker: AGIEM) AGI Europe Extra Liquid (Ticker: AGIEMXL) Index Info:Joseph LaCorteArdour Global Indexes, LLC646-467-7927www.ardourglobalindexes.comWalter NasdeoArdour Capital Investments, LLC212-375-2958Alternative Energy Info:Brian GreensteinArdour Capital Investments, LLC212-375-2956.

Camping With or Without a Remote Control in the Great Outdoors
Kingman, AZ (ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 --
While on a recent camping trip, I was outside my tent looking up at the brilliant stars in the night sky. The sound of hummingbirds had faded with the last light of the sun and was replaced with crickets cheering wind blown pine needles racing across the dirt to a final resting place. In the past, my evening's entertainment in the wild included a gathering of rabbits, a deer or two, maybe even a coyote howling in the distance, but now I had additional choices of entertainment. I could watch TVs glowing from RV windows. I could listen to a hard rock band blaring from someone's stereo.
Or even try to play name that tune with the rhythm and hum of a generator behind me in spot number seventy-two."Should we be heading towards map icons and directories that separate "developed" properties versus ones that bring you back to nature in a "primitive" way?" asks Jonathan Stocker, of alternative lodging at AllStays.com. "We hear from many...

Home Medical Supplies ?EquipmentHome medical suppliesWithout the home medicals supplies I was able to find and buy through the internet my care-giving responsibilities would have been extremely difficult. I found many resources with great information and how to help as well as phone numbers to call for additional help and information. Learning about the various home medical supplies and equipment, and their proper use has been a blessing to us.Providing home health care can be daunting to say the least. Supplies and equipment must be readily available so caregivers may provide the services that used to be handled by hospitals and nursing care facilities. Items such as electric wheelchairs, electric scooters, scrubs, oxygen therapy and lifting types of equipment products are now necessary for many.Medical supplies and equipment are available from premier providers on the Internet and we have made them our partners.
We understand the needs of caregivers (myself being one of them)...
