The World's Greatest Transfer of Wealth has Begun, Says Larry Derossett, Independent Consultant for Ambit Energy

Larry Derossett, IndependentConsultant for Ambit Energy, agrees this will be the largest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen.

Chicago, IL, February 01, 2012 - Larry Derossett, IndependentConsultant for Ambit Energy, agrees this will be the largest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen. This windfall opportunity is a direct result of recent energy deregulation, which opens limitless possibilities for growth, wealth and career potential.

In 2010 Ambit Energy was named the #1 fastest-growing privately held company in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine. And with continued expansion into new markets, steady Customer growth, a patented billing system and award-winning Customer Care Team, Ambit Energy is making great strides, and is only getting started.

Derossett explains, “Chicagoland customers have the right to choose their utility provider.

Ambit Independent Consultants have the great opportunity to earn an extraordinary living helping others save money on electricity and natural gas – the most habitually used and unconsciously purchased services. Plus they can empower others do the same.”

However, the most exciting news is even with their sizable growth, Ambit Energy currently accounts for a fraction of nation's $51.8 billion-dollar deregulated energy market.

Insurance King Offers NEW Legal Endorsement

Insurance King realizes the economy has seen better days, but it is times like this that law enforcement is increased.

Rockford, IL, January 30, 2012 - Insurance King offers new legal endorsement. Insurance King realizes the economy has seen better days, but it is times like this that law enforcement is increased. Cities look for ways to raise funds and traffic tickets can do just that. You probably know this to be true just by noticing the police cars that have people pulled over, or the policeman hiding behind a building with a radar gun, and around the corner is 13 police cars being dispatched to pull people over.

Insurance King has a new endorsement that helps people with legal issues revolving around traffic tickets. For about 10 cents a day, you can add an endorsement that will pay up to $500 for reimbursement for attorney fees arising from any traffic related incident, within a covered time period on your auto policy.

Dan Block, co-founder of Insurance King, is very pleased to be able to offer this coverage. Most of the time when people get into trouble it is because they didn’t take care of their tickets and fines. Having an attorney represent you is the best way to resolve the issue; however sometimes the fees can be expensive. What this endorsement does on your auto policy is reimburse you up to $500 for the attorney fees, for fighting anything traffic related.

This covers most tickets or will help with the costs of fighting a DUI etc... This also can keep the cost of your insurance down if you don’t get convicted of the traffic tickets.

Insurance King refers people to traffic attorneys, Albert Altamore at Altamore and Associates in Rockford IL, and James Moore AKA the Bulldog, in Rockford IL. Ten cents a day can put experienced lawyers in your corner from Insurance King of Rockford IL. To file a claim on your legal coverage, the policy must be active and the traffic citation must happen during the covered periods on your policy. For example, you can’t file a claim on a DUI if you didn’t have the endorsement during the time you got the DUI.

AAA welcomed publication of FSA paper on Alternative investments

AAA has welcomed the publication of the Financial Services Authority’s discussion paper based on EU plans to more closely monitor alternative investments.

Boston, MA, January 27, 2012 - Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has welcomed the publication of the Financial Services Authority’s (FSA) discussion paper based on EU plans to more closely monitor alternative investments.

Far from being something alternative investors of funds should fear, the regulator’s paper, entitled ‘Implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive’, should be welcomed as a further move towards alternative asset classes becoming more mainstream, claims AAA.


The 102-page paper talks about how the FSA might go about enforcing the Fund Managers Directive in the UK. The directive is intended to form a framework for the regulations and assessment of the industry to expose risks and offer investors more information in alternative options.

“It is clear that the reason such as directive is needed is because more and more investments are turning their backs on traditional asset classes and are putting their cash into alternative, such as real estate, commodities, forestry, an even art and antiques,” stated AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

“The stock market is not such an attractive place to make money any more,” he added.

The FSA report states that it is keen to start thinking about implementation at an early stage: ‘There is a great deal to be done. Early communication and timely consultation and planning are crucial for effective and proportionate implementation.’

The report is to be open for responses until 23 March, while the EU members states must give their feedback on the directive by 22 July 2013.

The Investment Management Association’s director Julie Patterson explained that a diverse range of investment options will be covered by the directive, including impact investing and other very new forms of alternative investment. She sated, “The FSA’s paper summarises the diverse requirements within the directive.

“There are further EU rules proposed for smaller venture capital funds and social entrepreneurship funds, which will need to be accommodated.”

AAA advocates alternative investments and is particularly interested in promoting ethical investments, such as social ventures and sustainable forestry projects n developing countries. Several firms, including Greenwood Management and Agar Wood Investment offer investors the chance to make an impact on sustainable forestry while seeing healthy returns.

New Plantation Research could hold key to fewer Emissions claims FRA

FRA has claimed that Swiss research could deliver more efficient timber plantations in the future.

Bainbridge Island, WA, January 27, 2012 - Research from Switzerland holds the key to “more efficient” timber plantations, claims research and analysis consultancy, Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

Seattle-based FRA claims that new research from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, has found how to optimise forestry plantations in order to minimise bark growth while maximising log growth and quality.


The main researcher, Nic Meyer, explained that bark emits more harmful substances when burned than the rest of the timber. He told environmentalresearchweb: "In our previous investigations we had found that the emissions from burning bark had sent all of our test instruments into overdrive.”

He then found that choosing the right kind of species and spacing the trees out a certain way within a plantation can reduce the amount of bark growth and increase the number of logs a tree can produce.

Using an analysis of spruce and beech plantations in Switzerland, he and research partner Marco Mina, found that certain forestry management techniques, involving thinning crops and carefully timing harvest, for example, could help to reduce bark growth by 20 per cent.

“This could have a major impact on how forestry plantations are managed in the future,” claimed FRA’s analysis partner Peter Collins. He added, “Any techniques that can minimise bark growth and increase quality timber production must be good for forestry investors.”

One of the key findings was that delaying the thinning process until branches had reached between 20cm and 40cm in diameter significantly reduced bark growth. The reduction in bark growth could reduce emissions and costs to countries that specialise in forestry, explained Meyer: "In Switzerland alone, the damage costs from direct emissions from wood combustion activities are estimated to be of the order of 100 million Euro per year.”

FRA advocates forestry investment through plantation schemes, such as those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil and Canada.

White Paper from Drinker Biddle Considers Risk Mitigation Approach to 401(K) Plan Design

‘Fiduciary Partnership Service’ From Security Benefit Can Help Both Plan Fiduciaries And Financial Representatives According To Law Firm’s Analysis

Topeka, KS, January 26, 2012 - Security Benefit Corporation, a Guggenheim Partners Company, is making available a new white paper from the law firm, Drinker Biddle, considering the Fiduciary Partnership Service created by Security Benefit and Mesirow Financial.

The paper — Selecting Investments: The Security Benefit® Fiduciary Partnership Solution — analyzes the specific challenges facing plan fiduciaries and financial advisors providing services to their plan clients.

Authored by Bruce Ashton, Fred Reish, and Summer Conley — each recognized among the top lawyers in the nation representing 401(k) and other retirement plans — the paper concludes that the approach designed by Security Benefit and Mesirow Financial offers a complete solution to certain fiduciary challenges.

“We worked hard with the professionals at Mesirow Financial to create a program that removes the fiduciary pressure from plan advisors and assists plan sponsors with their fiduciary obligations at the same time,” says Kevin Watt, Vice President of Security Benefit. “This analysis by Drinker Biddle confirms we were fairly successful in our efforts.”


The paper outlines the pressures employers are under to offer a well-designed, well-managed retirement plan, typically a participant-directed 401(k) or 403(b) plan, for their employees.

According to co-author Reish, an employee benefits partner with Drinker Biddle, one of the key choices employers must make — the selection of investment alternatives to be offered to the participants — may seem almost unmanageable given the roller-coaster ride the financial markets have experienced since 2008.

“The solution is for the plan to engage a discretionary investment manager to take on the responsibility of selecting and monitoring the plan’s investment options,” says Mr. Reish. “This approach limits the plan fiduciary’s liability exposure and relieves the financial adviser of the pressure to provide services that step over the fiduciary line.”

Designed for 401(k) plan fiduciaries and financial advisors, Selecting Investments: The Security Benefit® Fiduciary Partnership Solution, can be accessed at Security Benefit’s website, securitybenefit.com.

Insurance King is the SR-22 Kings

Insurance King are SR-22 experts, filing 20-50 new SR-22’s every week in IL.Insurance King has been crowned the SR-22 Kings.

Rockford, IL, January 26, 2012 - Insurance King is the Sr-22 Kings. Insurance King are SR-22 experts, filing 20-50 new SR-22’s every week in IL. Insurance King has been crowned the SR-22 Kings. People are easily confused about SR-22’s. It is a misunderstanding that SR-22’s cost more, this is because most Insurance Agent’s don’t issue them or understand them. The SR-22 filing simply lets the State know if a policy is cancelled. When someone cancels their insurance policy, with a SR-22 filing, the State is notified so they can suspend their license when the policy cancels. A 36 month filing is now required for all SR-22’s. The most standard reason for someone to be issued a SR-22 is for receiving a no insurance ticket, a DUI, an accident without insurance, or not having enough insurance and not paying the difference for an at fault accident. People also don’t realize that the State randomizes people for insurance, sending them a letter, asking them to prove they had insurance on a certain date. If they cannot prove they had a policy during those dates, they can get a fine and be required to be on a SR-22 for 36 months. Insurance King files SR-22’s electronically with the State daily and helps their customers understand the importance of paying their insurance with a SR-22 endorsement on time, to avoid penalties and possible license suspension.

If you are required to carry a SR-22 call the SR-22 experts at Insurance King and start the process immediately and affordably.

Insurance King Agent’s Deliver a Personal Touch

Insurance King Agent’s deliver a personal touch. “People like to deal with real people.” says co-founder Dan Block.

Rockford, IL, January 26, 2012 - Insurance King Agent’s deliver a personal touch. “People like to deal with real people.” says co-founder Dan Block. Insurance King has a more personal approach where you deal with your Agent, not a receptionist that covers while your Agent is out golfing, or spending 30 minutes on an automated call trying to find out which button to push to find out how much your bill is this month. “I have my regular customers that like to rub it in when my Chicago Bear’s and Cub’s lose, or bring me a birthday card, or even sometimes lunch.” says Justin Cremeens, Auburn St. Insurance King Manager. Dan, co-founder of Insurance King, encourages that Insurance King Agents engage in a more personal touch when dealing with the customers and referral sources. Dan built Insurance King by going above and beyond what was expected of an Agent. Dan has let customers use his car to take driving tests and even spent every Wednesday for 3 years driving several people each week to the Chicago Secretary of State office to help them get their licenses back the same day, by filing their SR-22 live in person. Back then it would take up to 6 weeks to get a SR-22 filed; today it is 24-48 hrs. Largely due to Dan’s efforts on a mandatory task force that got the state to file SR-22’s electronically.


Insurance King has a mobile office for issuing policies after hours. Serving the Northern IL area, people wishing to buy a policy after hours can contact Insurance King Agent Joe Bitner, who will come to your home or meet you some where public and issue a policy on the spot. Just contact him at the 7th St. office 815-316-9522, if you know in advance that you cannot make it during regular hours or even call after hours. Joe has also been known to setup near road blocks to sell car insurance to people that got no insurance tickets, or he also sits at the city impound yard for people to get their insurance and then get their cars released from the impound.

Ecotech Institute’s Student Population Grows Nearly 400 Percent in One Year

With jobs in renewable energy and sustainability on the rise, students from across the country are coming to Ecotech to gain hands-on training

Denver, CO, January 25, 2012 - Ecotech Institute, the first and only college entirely focused on preparing America’s workforce for careers in renewable energy and sustainability, announced today that its January quarter kicked off with 100 new students, the largest start to date. With total current enrollment at 473 students, Ecotech witnessed a student population increase of almost 400 percent in just one year.

Ecotech Institute started classes in a temporary facility in June 2010 as it completed an overhaul of an existing vacant building. In January 2011, Ecotech’s 119 students began attending school in its LEED gold-certified campus in Aurora, Colorado. Since then, the facility’s offerings, faculty and student enrollment have continually experienced growth and improvement.


This June, the first graduating class of 39 students is expected to receive their degrees and in December 2012, another 50 students are expected to graduate. Of these students, the most popular degrees include Wind Energy Technology, Renewable Energy Technology and Electrical Engineering Technology.

“We knew we had something special when Ecotech opened its doors, and it’s inspiring to see increasingly more students come from across the country to pursue a degree that can truly make a difference in the world,” said Mike Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute. “With our first group of graduates in June, we can’t wait to see where they go and to hear their stories of success. This is definitely going to be a big year for us.”

Today, 90 percent of Ecotech’s students are men and 77 percent of the students are from Colorado. However, every day more and more students are moving from other states to pursue a degree at Ecotech, with students from 37 states and Puerto Rico currently represented. The top states from which Ecotech students have relocated include California, New Jersey, Wyoming, Illinois and Texas.

With the growth in students comes a growth in faculty as well. When Ecotech first opened, the school had one program director and two instructors. Ecotech now has three program directors and 24 instructors who teach in 11 hands-on learning labs. Ecotech’s holistic teaching approach gives students a chance to learn first-hand about the technology they will use in the field of their future career. At Ecotech, students also learn soft skills (communication, workplace etiquette), math and science basics and technology skills.

Ecotech Institute, which is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, offers seven highly practical degree programs and one certificate program that provide graduates with skills valued by today’s alternative renewable energy employers.

To learn more about Ecotech Institute, visit us online at www.ecotechinstitute.com or call 877-326-5576. The next round of classes begins in April and applications are being accepted now. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify.
