July 9 - Ocean Power Technologies and Lockheed Martin to Develop Wave-Energy Project in Australia
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTT), a leading wave energy technology company, and Lockheed Martin (LMT) have entered into a teaming agreement with the goal of developing a 19 megawatt wave-energy project in Victoria, Australia. This is one of the largest wave-energy projects announced to date, and leverages a grant from the Commonwealth of Australia.
For the project, Lockheed Martin will assist with the design of Ocean Power Technologies' (OPT) PowerBuoy® technology, lead the production and system integration of the wave-energy converters and support overall program management. Lockheed Martin and OPT have been collaborating since 2004, first on the development of an Advanced Deployable System for the U.S. Navy and most recently to design and launch utility-scale wave energy converters off the coast of Reedsport, Oregon.
"Lockheed Martin is applying its expertise to commercialize promising, emerging alternative energy technologies," said Dan Heller, vice president of new ventures for Lockheed Martin's Mission Systems & Sensors business. "We see great potential in harnessing the vast power of the ocean. By working with OPT and Australian industry on this project, we will advance wave energy in Australia and globally."
According to the World Energy Council, wave energy has the potential to produce around 2,000 terawatt hours of electricity a year, or enough power to meet 10 percent of the world's current energy needs. In Australia, which has very attractive wave resources, this percentage could be significantly higher.
Charles F. Dunleavy, Chief Executive Officer of OPT, said, "Lockheed Martin's commitment to alternative energy and its engineering, production, and systems integration expertise will provide momentum to our Australia initiatives, where both companies see great potential for large-scale wave energy generation. We also appreciate the Commonwealth government's continued support of this project, which we expect to create a significant number of local jobs as we develop and maintain operations over the life of the power station."
Funding for the project, which is to be located off the coast of Portland, Victoria, also includes a previously announced grant of A$66.5 million ($65.3 million USD) from the Commonwealth of Australia's Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism. A Funding Deed sets out the terms of the grant, including the requirement to obtain significant additional project financing.
The project is to be developed by a special purpose Australian company, Victorian Wave Partners Pty Ltd, currently owned by Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty Ltd. The partners are assessing financing opportunities for the project and pursuing power purchase agreements with local industry and utilities.

July 11 - Complete Genomics Announces New Technology Developed to Set Standard for Clinical-Grade Genomes
Long Fragment Read Technology Described in Nature Paper Provides Much Higher Accuracy Sequencing
Complete Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNOM) announced that its Long Fragment Read (LFR) technology for whole genome sequencing dramatically improves accuracy, enables fully-phased genomes, and significantly reduces the amount of DNA required for testing. Complete's LFR technology should accelerate the use of whole genome sequencing by physicians to diagnose and treat their patients.
"We expect the introduction of this technological breakthrough to accelerate the move of whole genome sequencing into patient care, which in turn will begin to change the face of medicine," said Dr. Clifford Reid, Complete Genomics' chairman, president and CEO.
"The Nature paper by Peters et al. describes how our LFR technology uses 'barcoded' DNA to generate whole genome sequencing with approximately one error in 10 million base pairs, or just 600 errors in an entire human genome," said Dr. Rade Drmanac, the company's chief scientific officer and inventor of the LFR technology. "This represents a 10-fold increase in accuracy for Complete and is unmatched by any high-sensitivity method currently available."
Until now, determining whether two disease-associated variants were on the same or different parental chromosomes was either impossible or required expensive, low-throughput technologies -- an approach often infeasible in a clinical environment. Complete's new LFR technology not only enables an accurate identification of mutations, but includes phasing that shows which mutations are in fact together on the same parental chromosome. Through phasing, a physician can determine whether a patient with two pathogenic variants in a gene including its regulatory regions is affected or merely a carrier of the trait. In addition, Complete's LFR technology provides, for the first time, accurate whole-genome sequencing from as few as 10 to 20 cells (only 100 picograms of DNA), making it an ideal choice for small sample clinical sequencing applications including circulating tumor cells, fine needle aspirations, and pre-implantation genetic diagnostics.
"In the not-too-distant future, failure to use phasing when providing genomic diagnoses in patient care will be seen as unacceptably inaccurate," said Dr. George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and director of PersonalGenomes.org. "I also suspect that LFR will reveal surprising things we didn't know were missing because we didn't have a tool to see them."
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has already issued Complete Genomics two separate patents on LFR technology, and additional patent applications, including miniaturization using nanodrops, are pending. Complete Genomics plans to incorporate the new technology into its sequencing offerings in early 2013.

With the recently filings by Webdigs on June 5th, the path has been cleared for Next 1 to proceed with its previously announced plan to shift all real estate related assets from Next 1 Realty to Webdigs in exchange for a newly issued Convertible Preferred shares that initially gives the company a controlling interest in Webdigs. Webdigs was founded in 2007 and has developed and acquired real estate websites & technology including a licensed real estate brokerage division with more than 30 years of experience and affiliations in 19 states.
When the transaction is completed the new publicly traded vehicle will be a singularly focused real estate Media and Marketing Company. It will control all operating real estate agreements of Next 1 Realty, the real estate related Video on Demand (VOD) Network and corresponding websites, the Home Preview Channel assets, Next 1's minority share ownership of RealBiz Media, and certain film and distribution rights related to real estate programming for TV broadcasting.
Bill Kerby, CEO of Next 1 Interactive stated "recent moves to attract key new Directors, strengthen management and create strong industry alliances in both the travel and real-estate arenas have greatly enhanced the company's position. I believe this strategic move to separate Travel and Real Estate assets into two public companies will help with key expansion plans for both and better position Next One shareholders to participate from growth from both areas."
