"He has really progressed into a premier sprinter, which is nice to see," Czplicki said of Gould. "He will give anybody in this league a run for their money." |
Weihs finished third in both the 50 freestyle (:23.09) and 100 freestyle (:50.05), while Green followed his second-place showing in the 500 freestyle with a third-place finish in the breaststroke (1:07.59). |
"Jake has turned into a premier distance guy," Czplicki noted. "When you have a good race in the 500 it is fun to watch." |
Greenwich will visit Wilton Friday before hosting arch rival New Canaan on Wednesday. |
"Our meet against New Canaan should be our toughest meet in the FCIAC this year," said Lowe, whose squad cruised to victories over Danbury and Staples in their first two meets of the season. "They are going to be one of our strongest opponents." |
Said Jensen: "We have a strong team and with more practice we are only going to get stronger." |

Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE: DUK) is slated to release its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018 on February 14, 2019. The market expects revenues to remain flat at $5.8 billion in Q4 2018, similar to the level achieved in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. At the same time, EPS is expected to decline to $0.... |

Our projection for Duke Energy’s key drivers that impact its price estimate are available in our interactive dashboard – Hurricane Michael Likely To Wash Out Some Of Duke’s Earnings. You can make changes to our ass... |
Housing starts and construction: Rising economic growth and higher per capita income has led to a rise in housing starts in Q4 2018. After witnessing a decline in October 2018, housing starts have shown improvement over the remaining part of the quarter. Additionally, privately-owned housing completions in November wer... |

Hurricane Michael: In October 2018, Florida was hit by the most powerful storm – Hurricane Michael – in its recorded history, which led to over a million power outages in the Carolinas and 70,000 outages in Florida. Duke Energy is expected to incur huge storm restoration costs, estimated to consist of $235 million of o... |
Growth in Renewable Energy: Official records show that 18% of all the electricity in the US was produced by renewable sources in 2017, up from 15% in 2016. The share of renewable energy is expected to see a further rise in 2018, with continuous decline in the cost of solar and wind energy generation, which is expected ... |
We expect revenues to increase by 4.3% for the full year 2018. This would mainly be driven by an increase in the customer base on the back of a rise in housing starts and privately-owned housing completions, healthy growth in gas utilities (primarily benefiting from grid improvement and modernization initiative), and a... |
Duke Energy’s stock has not seen much volatility over the last one year. We believe that being a regulated entity, which provides Duke with huge pricing power, has been the biggest support to the company’s stock so far. However, as the demand for renewable energy is growing at a fast pace, with the acquisition of REC S... |
From an investment perspective, this shows massive potential opportunity both in terms of infrastructure and natural resources, including uranium. Some analysts say the price of uranium, while soft now, could double over the next couple of years in recognition of future market tightness. |
China’s nuclear capacity is now less than 9,000 megawatts, but the country has more than a dozen more plants either under construction or in the planning stages – according to figures from the brokerage CLSA, the capacity could grow fivefold by 2015. The official target is 40,000 megawatts by 2020. |
Such an ambitious program raises the question of how to fuel all of the new plants that China wants to bring online in the next decade. Where will all of the uranium come from to handle this new demand? |
China is not alone in its nuclear plans. Two decades of languishing interest in nuclear power after the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl incidents has reversed, and now too many nuclear energy is viewed as a relatively “green” energy with greater cost-benefit potential than solar, wind and other alternatives. Of course,... |
Earlier this year, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) projected that global nuclear capacity would grow from about 370,000 megawatts (14 percent of world energy consumption) now to as much as 540,000 megawatts by 2020 and 810,000 megawatts by 2030. In dollar terms, capital expenditure on nuclear plants could... |
Roughly 40,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity are now being built on four continents, with China accounting for a quarter of that total, well ahead of #2 Russia and #3 South Korea. The chart below shows that China will be second only to the U.S. in terms of future capacity when projects at all phases are considered. |
China has uranium reserves within its borders and it is aggressively lining up supplies in Central Asia, Africa and Australia to make up any shortfall. Government officials in Beijing say that more uranium mines are badly needed to satisfy future global demand for the resource – in China’s case, a Reuters story says th... |
The World Nuclear Association says the world’s measured uranium resources are sufficient to last 80 years at current usage rates, with the largest untapped deposits found in Australia, Kazakhstan, Russia and Canada. But just looking at China makes it clear that usage rates are soon to see a sizable increase. Like other... |
Uranium prices shot up to more than $135 per pound in 2007, after the first nuclear power projects began emerging, and are now around $45 per pound after a brisk supply response. |
Some analysts see the price falling below $40 as new supplies from Asia and decommissioned Russia weapons come onto the market, but by 2011, price forecasts go up to $80 per pound as demand takes hold as the key price driver. |

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Enbridge Energy Partners LLC EEP.N said it restarted its 215,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) Ozark crude pipeline on Thursday after a shutdown for maintenance, and the line was operating at a reduced rate. |
Enbridge shut the 435-mile pipeline on June 14 for maintenance but excavated a portion of the line under a lake near Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a closer look when an initial inspection indicated it might have weak spots. |
No leaks were found, Enbridge spokesman Larry Springer said. |
Energy intelligence firm Genscape said earlier on Thursday that it had detected increased flows on the line to nearly 91,000 bpd. |
The planned work on the portion of the line under Lake Oologah was finished, Springer said, but crews will remain on site to finish re-burying the line. |
He said he had no information on when the line would resume pre-outage rates, but that Enbridge should soon receive nominations for July shipments. |
The restart came earlier than expected. On Monday Enbridge said it had notified shippers that the outage would last through June 29 because stirred-up silt at the bottom of Lake Oologah made it difficult for divers to quickly inspect the line. The original outage was slated to last 10 days. |
The pipeline runs from the U.S. crude futures hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, to Wood River, Illinois. |

Global Analytics Buys Workpays.me, Plans “Disruptive” Entry in U.S. |
When San Diego-based Global Analytics raised $30 million in debt financing last summer, CEO Michael Thiemann said he planned to introduce its online financial services business in the United States once its Zebit operating company was well established in England. |
Today Global Analytics is announcing a slight change in plans. |
The San Diego financial analytics company founded in 2003 is acquiring Workpays.me, a financial technology startup based near Philadelphia, in King of Prussia, PA. |

Instead, consumers make direct payments from their bank account or through payroll deductions for thei... |
Instead of introducing its Zebit operations in the United States and trying to expand, Thiemann says Workpays.me provides a ready-made entrée for serving “the underbanked” here. |

A tribute will be paid to the victims of the Christchurch shootings before England's match against the Czech Republic at Wembley on 22 March. |
Fifty people died in an attack on two mosques in New Zealand on Friday. |

JOHN VAUSE, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): Hello, everybody, great to have you with us, you are watching CNN NEWSROOM. |
Ahead this hour after a parliamentary rejection of historic proportions for her Brexit plan, the British prime minister Theresa May reveals plan B. It looks a lot like plan A. |
The Democrats refusing to give Donald Trump a penny for his border wall and even some of his most loyal supporters may now be losing patience. |
And a new report that uncovers secrets that North Korea's missile program just as the North Korean leader prepares to meet again with the U.S. president. |
VAUSE: The definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. That may be what happened in Parliament on Monday for Theresa May when she introduced her Brexit plan B. Many took a look at it and said it's an awful lot like plan A. |
But there is good news; if you are a European citizen that wants to stay in the U.K. after Brexit, now you won't have to pay the 84-dollar application fee. The prime minister is hoping that change will win over more supporters in Parliament for some reason. |
And additional concessions that she's still hoping to win from the E.U. Details now from CNN's Bianca Nobilo. |
BIANCA NOBILO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: British lawmakers and keen-eyed observers would be forgiven for feeling a sense of deja vu today as the prime minister presented her plan B for Brexit after her plan A failed so dismally. And plan B and plan A look very similar. |
In fact, Theresa May didn't announce any substantive changes. She said she'd continue to engage in cross-party talks and give PMs the opportunity to view confidential information in committee meetings. |
She did however take the opportunity to explain why she thought extending Article 50 would be the wrong thing to do and the problems that she sees in the second referendum. |
THERESA MAY, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: I set out many times my deep concerns about returning to the British people for a second referendum. Our duty is to implement the decision of the first one. |
I fear a second referendum would set a difficult precedent that could have significant implications for how we handle referendums in this country, not least -- not least strengthening the hands of those campaigning to break up our United Kingdom. |
NOBILO: So, if the prime minister is not currently changing course on Brexit, the impetus might come from elsewhere. Parliamentarians on the back benches have started to table amendments to the prime minister's Brexit plan. |
And this could become critical because they give the House of Commons the opportunity to express their support for various different Brexit scenarios like extending the negotiations or even a second referendum and they will be debated in the coming weeks. Potentially, the only event which has any chance of breaking the... |
VAUSE: To Los Angeles now and CNN's European Affairs Commentator and Brexit exit expert Dominic Thomas. |
Good to see you, Dominic. OK, because we'd like to spend a bit of quality time in the weeks, let's get into it. Because the prime minister told Parliament she'd made three major changes to her original Brexit plan in the wake of that epic rejection last week by pretty much everyone around the world. |
Moving forward she says the government will be more flexible, more open, more inclusive when it comes to Parliament and future negotiations with the E.U. She talked about the need for you know, strong protections for worker's rights as well as the environment. |
And the third point she said, "We will work to identify how we can ensure that our commitment to no hard border in Northern Ireland and Ireland can be delivered in a way that commands the support of the House and the European Union." She made -- the first she promises to the Commons before and on that North Ireland she... |
So basically, the strategy here is to run down the clock and then what? |
DOMINIC THOMAS, CNN EUROPEAN AFFAIRS COMMENTATOR: Well, yes. I mean, you run down the clock and some of the concessions she talked about making today were the very things that she took away herself, you know. So it's sort of like President Trump negotiating over DACA when he's the one trying to block it, you know. So n... |
THOMAS: -- kind of single market agreement. |
There was absolutely no way that she's going to get that through with the Brexiters so she's stuck with that particular dialer murmur in the risk of fracturing her party. But if she's going to get around this -- the whole question of the Irish backstop and the potentiality of the border, of a hard border with Republic ... |
