Naval Academy Hosts Day of Remembrance
Posted on: September 09, 2013 08:00 EDT by MC2 Julia Casper
U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen and sailors hosted a Day of Remembrance at the World War II Memorial and Jonas Green Park Sept. 7 commemorating the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The day started with a ceremony at the World War II Memorial with Maryland State Senator John Astle and Maryland Delegates Herb McMillian, Ron George, and Cathy Vitale in attendance. Naval Academy Public Affairs Officer Cmdr. John Schofield gave the keynote address and Senior Chaplain Capt. Michael Gore led a moment of silence in rememberance of lives lost in the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Midshipmen from the Midshipmen Action Group (MAG), members of the Naval Academy Band, and the Annapolis High School NJROTC Color Guard participated in the event.
After the ceremony, MAG members began cleaning up the grounds at the World War II Memorial and nearby Jonas Green Park as part of a community service project. More than 75 midshipmen led the way in making the community a better and cleaner place.
"September 11, 2001, is a day that I will never forget," said Midshipman 3rd Class Zachary Dannelly, MAG environmental outreach coordinator. "It was monumental to hear the government officials speak, to talk about where they were on September 11th. Their words had an impact and made me remember why I joined the military and what good I can do because of that decision."
The 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance was the first project MAG coordinated for the 2014 academic year and a way to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
"9/11 is the reason why I joined the military," said Midshipman 1st Class Brian Colby, MAG president. "There is a value and responsibility that comes with being a midshipman. We are in a position where we can help others, and we have the resources to do it."
MAG was established in 1992, and is supported by the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association & Foundation.
"All the midshipmen I have ever worked with have a desire to come out and help," said Miriam Stanicic, Naval Community Relations director. "They have a drive that makes them want to better their community. They want to help, and they recognize that and make it happen."
MAG currently coordinates with community partners from the Annapolis area aiming to provide enthusiastic volunteers willing to offer their time and energy to benefit others.
"That day changed my life forever," said Colby. "Now I just want to continue having an impact on other people's future."

Ogdensburg Free Academy coach Mark Henry will be minus one of his assistant coaches in the upcoming high school boys Northern Athletic Conference Central Division basketball season that begins tonight.
Potsdam coach Brooks Bigwarfe had to find a new person to do his scorebook.
And both coaches couldn't be happier for the vacancies in their support staff.
That's because OFA senior Cavan LaRose and Potsdam junior Will Coleman will be back on the court after missing last season with injuries.
LaRose underwent total reconstructive knee surgery after an injury suffered in an open gym session last October. He did make it back for the final two weeks of the baseball season and helped the Blue Devils win a Section 10 Class B title.
Coleman suffered a broken ankle in a football playoff game in October 2011 and was unable to return to scholastic action until this fall's gridiron campaign, where he quarterbacked the Sandstoners to an undefeated NAC regular-season championship.
Both will be counted for leadership in different scenarios.
Both will be reunited on the court with teammates who have played together since elementary school.
LaRose joins an OFA team that returns its starting five from a 14-5 team, which includes his twin brother, Breton, and his younger brother, Kinnon, Matt Piercey, Pat Cosmo and Colin Ross.
"Cavan LaRose works extremely hard all of the time and he is one of those players who can quietly lead by example," Henry said of his two-year tri-captain, serving along with Breton LaRose and Cosmo.
Coleman, the youngest of five brothers who have excelled in athletics at Potsdam and Indian River, will be called upon to become a main cog for Potsdam, which graduated three starters from last year's 16-2 NAC Central Division and Section 10 Class B championship team. Coleman, who played briefly as a freshman, will anchor the new Potsdam nucleus with returning regulars in guard Konner Bigwarfe, 6-foot-7 center Shawn Clark and forward Owen Mitchell.
"Of three Coleman brothers that I have worked with, Will is the smallest, but he is definitely the most vocal. We are looking for him to shoot and distribute the ball and run the offense. It's just great to have him back," said Potsdam coach Brooks Bigwarfe, who succeeds Steve Kmack after serving as assistant coach for six years.
Last October, Cavan LaRose was looking forward to the 2011-12 OFA basketball season like no other season in his life. As a junior, he played with Breton and Kinnon, now a freshman.
He had fully recovered from an elbow injury the previous March and was looking forward to following up a promising sophomore basketball campaign in which he scored 11 points a game and led the team in rebounding.
But his anticipation dampened in an instant when his left knee collapsed in an open gym session.
"I made a steal and went for a layup. When I planted my knee it just collapsed," LaRose recalled. "It had been a little sore before then but I didn't think much of it."
His knee was completely rebuilt by Dr. Billy Smith, an Ogdensburg native, at Lake Placid Sports Medicine.
"The doctor told me that if I did all the rehab that it would take six months to get back physically, and maybe as much as a year to get back mentally," LaRose said.
"It's been a year and I really feel great. The knee feels strong and over the summer I did a lot of sprints, and I think that my speed is almost there."
Henry has seen the speed and loves the fact that LaRose is playing without a brace and running just a shade behind Ross at the front of the team's sprint drills.
"Cavan never felt sorry for himself and earned everyone's respect because of the way he worked so hard to get back," Henry said. "It's just great to have him back. This group has played together all their lives and is totally unselfish."
While going through the extreme pain in the aftermath of the surgery and the endless hours of grueling rehabilitation, LaRose kept one thing in the forefront.
He couldn't play, but he was going to be a tri-captain for a young team with a unique skill package. That skill package allowed Henry to execute an offense with multiple ballhandlers, multiple 3-point shooting options and multiple options of taking the ball to the basket.
And an offense where everyone instinctively shares the ball.
"It wasn't about me. It was about them," said LaRose, whose presence should greatly enhance the Devils' rebounding on both backboards.
And now it is all about us.
Coleman had never been hurt at all before the 2011 football playoff game with Massena. But he knew right away that his right ankle was severely injured when he went down.
He underwent surgery at the Canton-Potsdam Hospital and learned that, in all likelihood, he would sidelined from athletics for the rest of the school year.
He accepted the news stoically and quietly went about the business of healing.
"I didn't have to do a lot of rehabilitation it just a matter of waiting, which was tough," Coleman said. "They gave me exercises to do and that's what I did and I relied on my family for support."
Coleman, who plays the trumpet in the band, stayed active with the team, kept the scorebook at games and attended some practices, but related that he "stayed away from basketball a little and worked on some other things."
But now he is ready to rejoin his teammates and make a complete comeback just as he did in football.
"My recovery was slow, but I am virtually 100 percent. I could feel my mobility was getting better all through football," said Coleman, who has bolstered his skills and strength through lifelong pickup games with brothers John and Jerry, who are now playing at Clarkson University.
"It's been the same way in basketball and it is just great to be back. I really enjoy football, basketball and baseball and work on all three throughout the year."
Bigwarfe said that seeing Coleman operating at full speed on the court was a huge lift for his team.
"Everyone was really excited to have Will back and he really enjoys playing basketball with group," he said. "And we are ready for a real challenge right off the bat playing Malone, Massena and OFA in our first three games."
Coleman can't wait for the 2012-13 Sandstoners' baptism of fire.
"It's great to be on top and we really want to stay there. We have a very good team and share the responsibilities very well," said Coleman, ideally suited for the Potsdam tradition of success through shutdown defense and fluid passing.
"Our first three games are really going to be good ones."
The Central Division should be competitive. OFA and Potsdam met for the Class B title last year, with Potsdam winning, and Massena and Malone at the only two Class A teams in Section 10.
The North Division features state Class D finalist Madrid-Waddington along with Class C champion St. Lawrence Central.
Chateaugay and St. Regis Falls figure to be two of the top teams in the East Division while defending champion Harrisville, Lisbon and Heuvelton should contend after finishing just one game behind.
Some of the top individual returners include: Malone's Mitch Gallgher, OFA's Breton and Cavan LaRose, Potsdam's Will Coleman and Konnor Bigwarfe, St. Regis Falls' Caleb Green, Madrid-Waddington's Colin O'Bryan and St. Lawrence Central's Zane Ramsdell.

- 1 of 10Whether you know it or not, chances are you've fallen in love with Jenni Kayne's work at some point in time. A fashion-insider favorite, Kayne designs pieces that all the cool girls love, which is why we're so thrilled to showcase her amazing workplace in today's Fashion Office. Shot with our lovely friends from The Coveteur, this story is essential viewing for anyone who loves chic California style!
- 2 of 10"When we are designing a collection, we always start with a tone along with an inspiration, and we create a mood board to reflect that. Cesar, my designer, has a huge collection of old Vogues that always come in handy; we also find images from photographers, artists, blogs, and other magazines. This mood board was for my Spring 2012 collection that's in stores right now. Below it are pictures of my kids, Tanner and Ripley, who are always an inspiration."
- 3 of 10Top:
"We always have our past lookbooks up in the office for reference. Here, you see our first Pre-Fall collection, and below our Resort 2012 collection. Next to it are more images for our inspiration for Spring 2012-I especially love Linda on the cover of Vogue. At the bottom is Tanner's painting that I love."
"I am a Virgo, so I am always very organized; a clean desk is essential for my sanity, especially in a small space like our Almont office. Peonies are my favorite flowers, and when they are in season I love having them at home and at work. One of my oldest friends started Pressed, and I am obsessed with their juice. I drink a Greens 2 and Grapefruit Mint every morning for breakfast. I also love their Watermelon Mint as an afternoon snack in the summertime!"
- 4 of 10"This is our Almont office at our West Hollywood store, so it's small and very intimate. It's really important that it's organized and clean. We keep all our past seasons' orders, line sheets, and other vendors that we carry in the store in matching white binders on the shelves. Everything else is hung up on cork boards and white brick walls. I love working in this office because we all work closely together and get a lot done!"
- 5 of 10"I love SMN Rose Water and wear it daily. I have one at home, in my car, and at work-just in case! I just started carrying Santa Maria Novella in the store, so now I am really in trouble. My husband and son love their Mint Water, too. I love jewelery! My favorites are Amulette (silver vintage Mexican cuff), Manin (gold signit rings), Irit (diamond rings), Lena Wald, and All for the Mountain-all of which I sell in my stores and wear all the time."

"Benjamin makes my favorite glasses, and I carry them in the store. Years ago he designed two styles inspired by me, called the Kayne and the Jenni-and soon after he made the Nicole, inspired by my best friend and amazing singer, Nicole Simone. Benjamin and I collaborate almost every season to create glasses to go with the newest collection, and I am always blown away."
"Tanner painted that rock for me at a Hammer kids' art event, and I love it-it's the perfect paperweight. Those glasses are another style of Benjamin's glasses; my sister Maggie wears a style called the Milton. I go through phases with my iPad, but when I do carry it with me I carry it in a Claire Vivier leather clutch."

In-demand pieces from Jenni Kayne.
"I never leave home without a Patricia Underwood for Jenni Kayne hat. I love them, and try to keep my face out of the sun as much as possible. I also sprinkle my office with family photos. The large photo of Tanner is a Catherine Opie portrait that my mother commissioned as a gift for us. Tanner chose the orange background because it is his favorite color. Next to it is a picture from his first birthday with my husband and I that makes me happy every time I look at it. The little Foo Dog my mom also gave me and I just love it."
- 8 of 10Top:
"I love art and am lucky to be surrounded by beautiful art. My store on Almont is next to several great galleries: Regen Projects, M+B, and many more. But my favorite gallery is my sister Maggie's, Kayne Griffin Corcoran. Some of my favorite artists that we have in our house are Jed Lind, Deanna Thompson, Ed Ruscha, David Lynch, and Raymond Pettibon."
"I would be an interior designer-but only for people who closed their eyes and just let me do everything! I just opened my second store in the Brentwood Country Mart and am so happy with it. I would like to open a couple more stores in California over the next few years, and eventually would like to open a kids' store and a general store."
- 9 of 10Top:
"My husband bought me this bag for our five-year wedding anniversary and I love it. I carry it as much as I can-it's pretty heavy to carry all the time, but I always jokingly tell my kids, "Fashion hurts!" I love interiors more than I love fashion-I think because it's not my job. I wanted the store to reflect my vision and taste and feel warm, earthy, and modern. I think it is the perfect environment to showcase my collection."
"I love when mothers and daughters come into the stores and can both walk out with something-my goal has always been to design a collection for women, regardless of their age."
- 10 of 10"I was very driven and excited to start my own line at nineteen-and I am happy that I did. I can't believe I've had my collection for ten years, and I opened my Almont store five years ago this October. I think it's really important to enjoy every phase of your life and stay in the moment, because time flies. I can't believe I am turning thirty, have two kids, a husband, and two stores-but I feel very lucky and fortunate to be living my life."

EU gives top priority to helping SMEs create jobs Gepubliceerd op: 28/06/2013
European Commission
Brussels, 25 June 2013
EU gives top priority to helping SMEs create jobs
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are Europe's job engine. Today, 85% of net new jobs in the EU's private sector are created by SMEs. For this reason, the EU has created a number of programmes to promote a better economic environment for the 21 million SMEs in the EU, and support their efforts for creating new jobs. The European Commission helps SMEs find necessary funds for their development through a loan guarantee scheme under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP, 2007-13). The scheme has already supported more than 200 000 SMEs with a loan volume exceeding €12.5 billion. The Commission also seeks to develop a framework for efficient, diversified and improved long-term financing for SMEs by helping to attract more private investment.
On the occasion of today's conference "Europe works for SMEs" in the European Parliament, this memo discusses Commission initiatives launched in 2013 to help SMEs. They fall under 7 headings:
1. Improving access to finance
2. Unleashing Europe's entrepreneurial potential to bring back growth
3. Missions for Growth: EU businesses benefit from emerging markets
4. Slashing administrative burden
5. Enterprise Europe Network: Key to Europe and the World Support for SMEs to find capital
6. Guidebook Series: Hands-on advice for SMEs
7. No need to change European SME definition
1. Improving access to finance
The European Commission has introduced multiple proposals to give SMEs the help they need to inject more dynamism into Europe's economy. A joint European Commission/European Investment Bank (EIB) Group report on the activities facilitating access to finance for SMEs in 2012 was presented on 2 and 3 May in Dublin. Further initiatives are:
- Access to EU finance single portal now includes information on Structural Funds: From today businesses around Europe will have easier access to much needed finance as the Commission expands the single portal on EU finance to include EU Structural Funds: the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF). Launched last month, the single portal on EU finance provides easy, complete and up-to-date information on how entrepreneurs and SMEs can access over €100 billion of EU financing from various 2007-2013 EU programmes. Today's additions will double the number of partner banks and funds to over 1 000, further strengthening a vital information source for SME financing through guarantees, loans and venture capital (see also today's press release "Helping businesses to access EU finance: single portal now includes Structural Funds")
- Giving SMEs tools to combat late payments: Both within and outside their own borders, SMEs are particularly vulnerable to late payments – one of the leading causes of bankruptcy among SMEs. The lack of protection for SMEs not only cripples businesses and stalls economic growth, but might also discourage would-be entrepreneurs from taking chances. Every day across Europe, dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) go bankrupt because their invoices are not paid. As a result, jobs are lost and business opportunities remain unexploited, stalling our return to economic growth. In March, in an effort to combat late payments in commercial transactions, Directive 2011/7/EU entered into force. It compels public authorities to pay for goods and services within 30 calendar days or, in very exceptional circumstances, within 60 days.
- Support for debt recovery across borders: Many SMEs are reluctant to operate outside the borders of their own country, as they are afraid of encountering burdensome procedures when trying to claim payments for their products and services. SMEs often find it too daunting, complicated or expensive – because of consulting fees, legal counsel, document translation, etc. – to pursue legal action against companies or individuals in other Member States. The Commission has kicked off a campaign to inform SMEs how to take advantage of existing laws and tools in order to more easily and successfully pursue debtors in other countries.
2. Unleashing Europe's entrepreneurial potential to bring back growth
To return to growth and higher levels of employment, Europe needs more entrepreneurs. New companies, including SMEs, create more than 4 million new jobs every year – the biggest source of new jobs in Europe. Recognising the integral role entrepreneurs play in economic recovery, the Commission launched the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. A combination of investments, regulatory advances and educational opportunities, the Action Plan will help return economic growth to Europe.
Entrepreneurship education is key to a sustainable economic upswing: Education is an essential element of entrepreneurship. Studies show that students who receive entrepreneurship education are not only more likely to be later employed, but also more likely to start their own companies. With that in mind, the Commission has proposed a series of actions that will help expose students to entrepreneurship and, as a result, help create jobs throughout Europe.
3. Missions for Growth: EU businesses benefit from emerging markets
The world's fastest growing economies are not in Europe. And that's why the European Commission is committed to opening doors for European enterprises around the globe. The Commission has sent representatives and business delegations to emerging markets in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The insights they gain will help EU SMEs capitalise on external growth – which, in turn, will spur growth here in Europe. In an effort to help EU businesses penetrate foreign markets, the Commission is further organising missions to a number of countries with fast-growing economies. Commission Vice President Tajani has just completed a visit to Russia, accompanied by a 120 strong business delegation (MEMO/13/559). Later in 2013 he will go to China, India, Vietnam, Myamar and Israel.
Commission helps SMEs enter Asian market: As one of the world's fastest-growing markets, Southeast Asia offers a wealth of opportunity for European businesses eyeing foreign markets. But despite the potential for growth, the region also poses numerous challenges, including different attitudes towards intellectual property rights (IPRs). To help European SMEs navigate these differences, the Commission launched the ASEAN IPR SME Helpdesk in June 2013.
Commission helps SMEs land safely in China: China has become a key market for SMEs hoping to make a splash overseas. Even so, China poses a series of challenges, including problems with IPR protection and a dizzying web of regulations. But the China IPR Helpdesk, the EU SME Centre and the European Enterprise Network are here to help by bringing the risks – and rewards – of the Chinese market into focus.
The Europe-China Standards Information Platform (CESIP) provides valuable, bilingual information to Chinese and European businesses on market issues ranging from technical regulations to market access requirements.
Similar activities are taking place with the United States of America, our main trade partner. Specific cooperation areas are being set up, such as the promotion of SME events and business partnering activities, participation in sector-specific or thematic seminars and the exchange of information on SME networking opportunities. As preparations are currently under way to launch negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the US, additional opportunities may now arise to strengthen cooperation on trade-related aspects relevant to our SMEs.
Avoiding barriers to global trade: The TBT Agreement (Technical Barriers to Trade) helps prevent unfair, protectionist measures. Administered by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the TBT Agreement alerts European businesses to potential new regulations and encourages global harmonisation and mutual recognition. European businesses can contribute to the work of the European Commission to avoid technical barriers to trade. This collaboration benefits enterprises large and small.
4. Slashing administrative burden
The Commission wants to simplify life for SMEs by easing burdensome EU laws. Therefore, the Commission carried out a broad consultation in which roughly 1 000 SMEs and business organisations identified the top 10 most burdensome EU laws.
The results indicate that SMEs see the biggest difficulties and costs coming from rules originating in REACH chemical legislation, value added tax, product safety, recognition of professional qualifications, data protection, waste legislation, labour market-related legislation, recording equipment for road transport, public procurement and the modernised customs code. See MEMO/13/168.
The results of this consultation are being put to good use. The European Commission has already adopted the review of REACH, which reduced the fees paid by SMEs. The network of SME Envoys will actively follow-up the TOP 10 results and make administrative burden reduction a priority in EU Member States. Moreover, the Commission has already given priority to reducing the administrative burden for SMEs – the "Think Small First" principle. Specifically, it works closely with Member States to ensure that time delays and costs for creating a new company are reduced, and to assess avenues to facilitate better market access both within the EU and in non-EU countries.
Overview: Commission SME policies and initiatives
5. Enterprise Europe Network: Key to Europe and the World Support for SMEs to find capital
The Enterprise Europe Network helps SMEs tap into the internal market and key international markets. An EU-funded business and innovation support network, the Enterprise Europe Network includes nearly 600 local organizations in 53 countries. The Network gives a unique opportunity for EU SMEs to find business and technology partners and to be present in high growth markets. Every year, the Network Partners advise and assist more than 2 million European SMEs.
The Network provides a wide range of business and innovation support services, including access to and information on:
- a business and technology partnership service,
- advice and assistance on European programmes,
- access to finance,
- EU legislation,
- internationalisation, (including foreign market conditions) and
- innovation.
The Network also acts as a feedback channel, informing the European Commission about the views of European SMEs on EU legislation and policy issues.
Network members are based in host organisations such as chambers of commerce, enterprise agencies, regional development organisations, research institutes, universities, technology centres and innovation centres. These organizations are firmly rooted in their local business environment, with close links to SMEs and proven capacity in business support. The host organisations make a vital contribution of resources and expertise, and co-finance around 50% of the costs of the Network.
Entreprise Europe Network helps SMEs access EU support programmes
One important role of the Enterprise Europe Network is to advise SMEs on access to EU support. Due to their longstanding experience with EU programmes and financial instruments, combined with their good understanding of local SMEs' needs, capacities and ambitions, Enterprise Europe Network partners are well placed to provide businesses with the right advice. First and foremost, they can advise businesses on whether they respond to the specific criteria and conditions for EU support and, if so, direct them towards the most appropriate programmes and funding schemes. They also provide further advice and assistance to help businesses apply for support, including assistance in finding potential partners and concluding successful partnership arrangements for participation in European programmes.
Role in Missions for Growth
The Enterprise Europe Network plays a key role in the organization and promotion of the Missions for Growth (see point 3). The Business Cooperation Centres (the non-EU country partners of the Enterprise Europe Network) organized many of the business-to-business events for these missions, and all members of the Enterprise Europe Network are actively engaged in promoting the Missions for Growth. Their good understanding of local SMEs' needs, capacities and ambitions, enables members of the Enterprise Europe Network to target this promotion at businesses which are best placed to benefit from the full potential of the Missions for Growth. They also provide advice and assistance to SMEs in preparation for their participation in these missions.
Geographical coverage of the Network
The network is present in 53 countries:
- There are Network members and partners in all 27 EU Member States and in 8 Countries specifically referred to in Article 4 of the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme: Croatia, FYROM, Iceland, Israel, Montenegro, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey.
- Via Business Cooperation Centres, in operation in other non-EU countries (based on Article 21.5 of the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme and financed from their own resources): Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, India, Japan, Mexico, Moldavia, Morocco, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, Tunisia, Ukraine and the USA. No financial support is provided to partners in these countries. Negotiations are being finalized with a view to extension of the Network to Brazil.
6. Guidebook Series: Hands-on advice for SMEs
These guidebooks offer inspiration, tested examples, practical help and hands-on advice gathered by SME Policy expert groups. Many of the best practices identified by these expert groups need financial support for their implementation for which financing by structural funds (ERDF and ESF) is available, in particular at regional level.
Each guidebook deals with a specific area of SME policy and includes suitable examples of recent and similar projects. A general guide is also available in order to provide a broad overview of the way in which the process works.
This series of guidebooks is highly recommended to those involved in SME Policy as well as regional development. They aim to facilitate the funding process of appropriate SME policy measures and initiatives at national and regional level and in general raise awareness of EU SME Policy.
The titles of the Guidebooks published so far are:
Building Entrepreneurial Mind-sets and Skills in the EU
Using standards to support growth, competitiveness and innovation
Facilitating Transfer of Business
The Smart Guide to Service Innovation
Regional implementation of the SBA – Small Business Act for Europe (in preparation)
How to use structural funds for SME & Entrepreneurship Policy, further details
The Guidebooks are available in English and translations in 20 languages are ongoing.
7. No need to change European SME definition
The current definition of a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) does not need to be (profoundly) revised for the time being. This is the main conclusion of a study presented in Brussels today. An enterprise must fulfil two criteria for being defined as an SME: staff headcount must be less than 250 and turnover has to be less or equal to € 50 million.
The Commission carries out regular monitoring of the implementation of the SME definition. Building on the results of previous evaluations performed in 2006 and 2009, a new independent study was carried out in 2012, which focused on how the SME Definition works in practice in the implementation phase. In view of the development of SME demographics since 2003, the disruption that would be caused by any significant change, the policy of 'less and better targeted state aid' and the views of a majority of stakeholders, the study concludes that there is no need for a major revision of the SME Definition at the present time. An eventual update of the EU's SME definition will be necessary to adjust for inflation, labour productivity and changes in the ratio of turnover to balance sheet totals, but these changes are not urgent and may be incorporated into a future revision.
The study also makes some recommendations on the clarification of the application of certain rules which can be implemented without changing the existing Recommendation, for example using extra guidance provided in a set of Frequently Asked Questions on the Enterprise and Industry SME definition website or by updating the current SME Definition User Guide.

Who doesn't love a family reunion? Whether it's a holiday or a summer get-together, you'll always treasure the raucous meals, the nostalgic stories, the lifelong memories—and the 1,000 pictures that you now have on your digital camera.
Reunion photos don't have to be overwhelming. Windows Photo Gallery makes organizing, editing, and sharing family photos a snap. Best of all, it's free.
You can download Photo Gallery for free. Then follow these steps to get up and running:
In the search box, type Photo Gallery, and then in the list of search results, click Windows Photo Gallery.
Click the Sign in button located in the upper-right corner of the screen. Once you have an account, you'll be able to share photos and videos with family and friends.
Enter your Microsoft account email address and password.
The photos that automatically appear in Photo Gallery are stored in the My Pictures (or My Videos) folder on your computer. You can also upload images from a digital camera, storage card, or scanner.
No one—not even your family—wants to see all of your photos, especially the so-so shots. Uncle Joe might just want to see the photos that his family is in, for example.
Double click a photo in the gallery.
On the Edit tab, in the Organize group, click Tag and caption, point to People tag, and then click Tag a person.
Click the face of the person you want to tag, and either type a name or select one from the list.
On the Home tab, in the Organize group, click Batch people tag. Photo Gallery will compare people tags you've added to other faces in your photos.
To verify a tag suggestion or assign a new people tag to a photo, in the Actions group, click Confirm or Tag as.
Keep in mind that you can also add multiple tags to photos so they're even easier to find in the future.
To make automatic adjustments to a photo, double-click it, and then, in the Adjustments group, click Auto adjust.
You can also automatically edit a batch of photos. Select the photos you want to edit, and then, on the Edit tab, select the adjustments you want to make from the Quick adjustments group.
For precise editing control, double-click a photo, and then, in the Adjustments group, click Fine tune. Select an adjustment and move the corresponding slider. Click Close file to automatically save your changes and return to the gallery.
Or make it look like you have the perfect family by using Photo Fuse to combine the best parts of two or more photos into one. Photo Fuse is useful in improving photos, like group portraits, where a person might look better in one photo than in another.
Select the photos you want to fuse. Be sure you choose a set of photos taken from the same scene and vantage point.
On the Create tab, in the Tools group, click Photo Fuse.
Click the area of the photo you want to replace. Drag one of the points to adjust the size of this area. Click the replacement photo that you like best, and then click Save.
Select the photos you want to share, and then click Photo email in the Share group on the Home tab.
You'll have a choice of sending your photo within an email or sending it as an attachment. Photo Gallery will automatically launch your default email app. If you don't have a default app, Windows Live Mail will open (follow the instructions to add a new account if you don't already have one). Then enter the recipient's email address and send.

42 U.S. Code § 13101 - Findings and policy
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress finds that:
(1) The United States of America annually produces millions of tons of pollution and spends tens of billions of dollars per year controlling this pollution.
(2) There are significant opportunities for industry to reduce or prevent pollution at the source through cost-effective changes in production, operation, and raw materials use. Such changes offer industry substantial savings in reduced raw material, pollution control, and liability costs as well as help protect the environment and reduce risks to worker health and safety.
(3) The opportunities for source reduction are often not realized because existing regulations, and the industrial resources they require for compliance, focus upon treatment and disposal, rather than source reduction; existing regulations do not emphasize multi-media management of pollution; and businesses need information and technical assistance to overcome institutional barriers to the adoption of source reduction practices.
(4) Source reduction is fundamentally different and more desirable than waste management and pollution control. The Environmental Protection Agency needs to address the historical lack of attention to source reduction.
(b) Policy
The Congress hereby declares it to be the national policy of the United States that pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be prevented should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner, whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be prevented or recycled should be treated in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible; and disposal or other release into the environment should be employed only as a last resort and should be conducted in an environmentally safe manner.

Most charity runs and walks have a 'no dogs allowed' policy. Not so at the Southwestern Guide Dogs walkathons, a series of walking events in Florida that raise money for the organization.
"It's wonderful to see people bringing their dogs to these events," says Andy Kramer, the development director of the Palmetto, FL-based nonprofit that has trained hundreds of guide dogs. "You can't help but see families with their dogs and not smile."
At each of the nine events held during the summer, Kramer says, the organization's guide dog trainers are also invited to bring their puppies and current trainee dogs to the event. The puppies, which Kramer calls "Goldadorables," are a special cross breed of Labradors and Golden Retrievers. "This breed produces wonderful guide dogs that are able to form and nurture partnership with visually impaired individuals, facilitating their life's journeys with mobility, independence and integrity," he says.
Promotional items play a major part in the Southeastern Guide Dogs Walkathons, starting with fundraising awards. "For example, if someone raises $100 for an event, they get a monogrammed T-shirt," Kramer says, "$250 gets you a branded tumbler. In addition, every attending dog gets a logoed bandana and we also bring lots of branded promotional items from our gift shop, including hats, shirts and leashes, for sale at our events."
This year's events raised a whopping $835,000 for the charity – a new record.
The Guide Dog Walkathons are expanding to two new locations next year. "We've been able to grow new events in markets where we are not as well-known via grass roots fundraising campaigns that net us more friends and sponsors and help us provide more dogs to the visually impaired," Kramer says. "Recently, Publix and Subaru came on board, which shows that success breeds success."
Also on tap for the 2016 season: Participants will be invited to design the logoed T-shirts that will be used as event giveaways. "We work really hard to build excitement for these events each year, and the promotional products we incorporate really help do that," Kramer says.
These picturesque events run through the sacred homeland of the Lakota Sioux, starting at Rochford, South Dakota and ending in the historic town of Deadwood. "Great scenery and an opportunity to tie in the runs with a vacation in the beautiful Black Hills make it a family-friendly venue," says race director Emily Wheeler of Rapid City-based Wheeler Events Management. "We had a fantastic turnout for this year's runs with over 3,400 registrations from 44 states, Canada and as far away as New Zealand."
A wide selection of branded products including hats, hoodies, shirts, badges and jackets helped make the marathons a success. "Our most popular promotional items were quarter-zip jackets emblazoned with the race logos," says Wheeler. "These are something for the racers to take back home with them and wear as a memory of the event. Participating moms and dads also bought jackets and shirts for their children."
According to Wheeler, the Half Marathon garnered the most entries, "because it's obviously shorter and mostly downhill which makes it attractive for folks who want to compete but aren't able to put in as much training time." Wheeler also sponsors the Run Crazy Horse event in October where runners end their journey at the giant hand of the fabled Crazy Horse Monument. This event features unique promotional items such as branded horse tank and shooter shirts.

"How can you have people who would be happy to do that work for a living wage sit there and watch people work for free?" asks Richard "Buz" Beetle, business manager for the union Laborers' Local 483, which represents about 650 city of Portland employees, including street-cleaning teams, parks groundskeepers and technicians.
"There's not a job these prisoners do that people wouldn't line up to do for a living wage."
Inmate crews are common in the metro area, but they drew an unusual level of attention during a recent high-profile incident.
When Portland officials evicted dozens of homeless campers and protesters from in front of City Hall last month, they first sent in a cadre of cops.
On their heels was a Multnomah County Sheriff's transport truck carrying five inmates, who collected the cardboard, trash and other items left behind after the sweep.
The homeless looking on called the inmates traitors. Not that the prisoners had a choice.
Later, Mayor Charlie Hales' spokesman, Dana Haynes, acknowledged that having prisoners assist in the eviction of the homeless was "not the best visual."
It also reignited Local 483's long-simmering anger. Beetle says his union will ask a state arbitrator to intervene in its grievances against the Portland Bureau of Transportation for using inmate labor.
Laborers' jobs have been hit hard by city budget cuts—street-maintenance positions, for example, were cut from 36 to 30 this year.
Beetle says all inmate jobs should go to union workers earning fair wages.
But the allure of using inmates is strong: PBOT pays Multnomah County $565 a day for a 10-inmate crew, a deputy to supervise it and all transportation and equipment. The inmates are paid $1 a day. Union workers start at $20 an hour, plus benefits.
PBOT spokesman Dylan Rivera says his department has been using inmate crews for more than 25 years. As a result of budget cuts, Rivera says the Transportation Bureau has made street cleaning "not the lowest but one of the lowest priorities," making cheap labor even more attractive.
Other agencies also use inmate labor. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office contracts with 12 local governments—including Portland, Metro, TriMet and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Steve Alexander says the work is mutually beneficial.
"We're providing a service for the community, while [the inmates] gain valuable landscaping skills and a general work ethic," Alexander says. "It gives those guys marketable skills so they can find jobs when they reintegrate into the community."
Beetle's not buying that.
"What kind of job skills is using a rake?" he asks. "That's not job skills, that's exploiting them."
He notes the city won't hire most ex-cons with felony convictions.
While the Local 483 grievances—a total of three filed in 2011 and 2012—focus on PBOT, Beetle says inmate labor shouldn't be used anywhere in the city.
Other departments, such as Portland Parks & Recreation, have contracts with the Oregon Department of Corrections, and also use court-ordered people performing community service.
Beetle says the inmates are also dangerous.
"All those prisoners running loose, with children in the park, women with baby carriages," Beetle says. "What happens if someone had a bad day at the prison and decides to take someone hostage?"
That hasn't happened, Alexander says. Work-crew prisoners are low-level offenders and are well-supervised by deputies.
Still, Lon Holston, a field representative for Local 483, says no amount of cost-saving is worth using inmate labor.
"This is wrong," Holston says. "It shouldn't be happening, and by God, if we don't stand up and say something, it's only going to get worse."

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
With extended unemployment or wage cuts putting people behind on their mortgage payments, folks with "distressed" mortgages are looking for help with the complexities of renegotiating their loans. In eastern Utah, those who dial the state's 2-1-1 mortgage help hotline will be referred to housing counselor Toni Johnson.
She's a federal Housing and Urban Development-certified person who is responsible for steering people in the right direction to avoid eviction and foreclosure. She also trains potential home buyers on how to avoid getting into trouble in the first place. A bookcase in her office in the Business and Technical Assistance Center has a row of ring binders about three fee wide, each binder representing a course she took to earn her certification.
Johnson, who has 12 years experience in real estate, now works for the Community Development Corporation of Utah. This is a private, non-profit company that gets its funds from a federal Housing and Urban Development grant to the state. The company does not collect money from clients, and Johnson, though still licensed, can't make any money off real estate deals with clients.
However, the demand for mortgage help over the past few years has generated a supply of for-profit services. Johnson says that for the most part, there's nothing illegal about this. She does, however, resent the recent case of a lawyer referring a client to her no-charge service after he had collected his fee for counseling.
"The going rate is about $3,000," she says.
She conducts pre-purchase and post-purchase classes for home buyers at the BTAC and other sites ranging from Richfield to Moab, while her individual foreclosure counseling takes her from Manila in Daggett County to Blanding in San Juan.
That's a lot of windshield time, but in her travels she sees a lot of need.
"I see so many people facing foreclosure," she says. "Most of them don't want to walk away from their homes and they want to pay. We help them look for some kind of forbearance on the mortgage, and if that is not sustainable we'll help with an exit strategy."
Forbearance is any arrangement that is acceptable to both lender and borrower as a way of avoiding foreclosure. A deal could be a refinance at a lower rate, or a longer term of repayment, or a combination of factors affecting monthly payments. One lender was even willing to extend the payback to 70 years, she says.
According to HUD, some 468,000 households have modified mortgages since the Housing Affordable Mortgage Program went into effect.
Each one of those adjustments required attention to detail in filling out the required hardship forms. Johnson says she has heard of one applicant who sent in the forms and never heard back from the bank. As it turned out, he had missed filling in his birth date, so his application went into the dead stack. "They won't call you back if you make a mistake," she said.
This is why she spends time on the road for one-on-one meetings with people facing foreclosure or eviction. "It's tough gathering paperwork from Manila," she notes.

London's shops range from the vast and luxurious to the small and quirky. Which would you visit while in the city?
from: DKK948 returnFlights from Copenhagen, Oct 2015Book
Thanks to extraordinary designers with world-class collections, including Christopher Kane, Erdem and Mary Katrantzou, London Fashion has never been more exciting. And that buzz is stretching to the city's fashion shops, too.
But don't worry if your budget can't stretch to a Giles dress – London has always been about the high/low fashion mix. It has the best High Street in the world, and some wonderful vintage stores, too.
If you are in a hurry, head to one of the well-known department stores – Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Selfridges or Liberty – who highlight the designers on show during London Fashion Week. If you're in the mood for something a little different, the stores below give a taste of just how well London does fashion.
Westfield London is the capital's ultimate luxury shopping and leisure destination - the perfect place to shop, eat, and meet. With Westfield boasting stores such as Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Apple and Burberry there is something for everyone. Within Westfield London you will also find a Vue cinema with 17 screens and the child-sized city KidZania.
Westfield Stratford City, situated in East London, is the largest urban shopping and leisure mall in Europe. On top of the 250 shops within the shopping centre you will find a Vue cinema boasting 17 screens, Aspers Casino and the luxury All Star Lanes bowling experience. With the shopping centre next-door to the Olympic park there is so much to explore in the area.

Possibly the most famous department store in the world and certainly one of the most varied, Harrods is a must see on any trip to London, even if it's just to browse the five floors of exquisite and surprising goods. The Harrods motto is Omnia Omnibus Ubique – All Things for All People Everywhere – and you can see why, with everything from fashion to food being showcased here. Make sure you stop by the toy kingdom, a multi-sensory experience for all ages.
Located on Oxford Street, the busiest shopping strip in Europe, Selfridges was named the best department store in the world in 2010. It's the second-largest department store in the UK and home to hundreds of famous brands and shopping experiences including a Champagne bar, a personal shopper service and a hair and beauty salon.
Portobello Road buzzes with boutique shops, art galleries and quirky arcades six days a week, and on Saturdays opens to the world's largest antiques market. The street is also home to the Grade II-listed Electric Cinema – one of Britain's oldest movie theatres. It has been a popular movie backdrop, featuring in films such as Notting Hill and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
One of the world's largest toyshops, Hamleys features seven floors of pure play. Famous for its wonderful window displays, it's impossible to walk past without being drawn inside from designer shopping hub Regent Street – even if you don't have children accompanying you. Once inside, you'll have an astonishing 40,000 toys and games to discover in what is more 'funfair' than 'shop'. So go wild and let your inner child out.
Famous for its world-class street performers and vibrant piazza, Covent Garden is shopping, dining, sightseeing, nightlife and entertainment all rolled into one. No trip to London is complete without a visit to this iconic shopping district, where you'll be able to browse everything from High Street favourites and high-end designers to quirky boutiques and market stalls.
London's Burlington Arcade is England's oldest and longest covered shopping arcade, which opened in 1819, and is now recognised as a historic and architectural masterpiece. Favoured by royalty, celebrities and the cream of British society - Burlington Arcade is where people with stories do business. Tradition matters here; so does craftsmanship, individuality and bespoke service. Housing over 40 luxury stores including Chanel, La Perla, Maison Michel and the world famous antique watch stores that house the largest collections of Rolex and Omega timepieces, shoppers with find the finest accessories, footwear, and a glittering array of fine jewellery and watch shops.
Traditional or modern, luxe or high street, vintage or cutting-edge, backstreet boutiques or big department stores and vast malls, London has become a unique shopping city with some of the best brands in the world.
Around the Bond Street area, you will find established labels such as Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. Victoria Beckham recently opened her first store nearby on Dover Street, opposite the influential retail space Dover Street Market – don't miss a trip here, to pick up pieces from the Brit-pack stars, such as Phoebe English and JW Anderson, alongside those, like Erdem and Mary Katrantzou, who trained and work in London.
Mount Street in Mayfair is becoming the latest fashion hot spot away from the traditional style thoroughfares – Nicholas Kirkwood, whose sculpted shoes have shaken up the footwear market, and the St Martins graduate Roksanda Ilincic recently opened their stores here.
On the high street, TopShop is the leader in affordable fashion, with regular collaborations with London style champions such as Kate Moss, and emerging new designers, such as Marques Almeida; the London-based label is the most directional name in denim for those in the know.
Many historic brands bring a rich heritage to London's fashion scene. Veterans of British design, such as Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood and Mulberry continue to influence global style trends. The best-known is Burberry, whose history sits comfortably with its beautiful modern take on design, but the city has a wealth of others – tailors have been working on Savile Row since the 1840s, and names such as Barbour (founded 1894) and Smythson (founded 1887) are quintessentially British.
The vintage hunting grounds of Portobello and Shoreditch add another dimension to the city; try the weekend markets, or for a more upscale experience, try House of Liza in east London and Merchant Archive in Notting Hill which stock carefully edited quality vintage.

I could not be happier that Jersey Shore has met its demise. The bad news? MTV has moved its cameras to Sissonville, West Virginia to film a new series, Buckwild:
From one of the cast-members: West Virginia is a place founded on freedom – for me and my friends, that means the freedom to do whatever the [bleep] we want. . . Maybe so, Annie Oakley, but MTV will make you all out to be a bunch of hicks. Just like the Jersey Shore folks were painted (and encouraged) to be a bunch of goombas.

Aquanil HC Lotion
This is a very basic, but effective, fragrance-free anti-itch lotion medicated with 1% hydrocortisone.
Aquanil Cleansing Lotion
Although this gentle cleanser is easy to use and exceptionally mild, it doesn't do a great job removing makeup
Add to Faves?
Aquanil At-a-Glance
Strengths: Gentle, fragrance-free products; inexpensive; good hydrocortisone product.
Weaknesses: Only two products, so your options are limited, to say the least; no sunscreens (though parent company Person & Cover, Inc. offers sunscreens as part of their Solbar brand).
Aquanil consists of two products: cleanser and anti-itch product medicated with 1% hydrocortisone. Sold in many drugstores, these fragrance-free products are often recommended for those with sensitive, irritated skin. Although the formulas don't contain any problematic ingredients, they're also short on the type of ingredients all skin types (even sensitive) needs for optimum health. The hydrocortisone product is an option, but other brands offer similar products without fragrance that are easier to find.

It's Philip Dick's World, We Only Live in It
A writer who pounded out dozens of novels and scores of stories in California between the 1950's and his death in 1982, Philip K. Dick has his share of champions, ranging from rock musicians to French postmodernists. Since his best work was published as pulp science fiction, they've had their hands full just trying to win him a little credibility. Meanwhile, almost unremarked, Dick's sensibility has seeped wide and deep into contemporary life.November 24, 2002 artsNews
Philip K. Dick's Mind-Bending, Film-Inspiring Journeys
To call Philip K. Dick a science-fiction writer is to the underscore the inadequacy of the label. Dick, who died of a stroke in 1982 at 53, was fascinated by the scientific future largely as a vehicle for examining his own anxieties, longings and unstable perceptions. It would be more accurate to call him one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the 20th century.June 16, 2002 moviesNews

Existential Questions Plus Androids. Cool.
Science fiction, which started out on the edges of literature and pulp fiction, has become more than mainstream; it is now an essential way of interpreting the world.

Loving Androids Too Much
The science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, who died in 1982, is a cult figure who was scarcely known outside his genre until two of his works were made into movies. The first movie, "Blade Runner" (from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" about androids posing as people), is a classic, some say a masterpiece. The second, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Total Recall" (from "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," about buying memories instead of living them) was a good idea poorly executed.December 24, 1991 opinionEditorial

Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station and its employees recently donated $3,000 to the Freedom Valley YMCA to help the agency keep Pottstown area residents healthy.
Joseph Szafran 610-718-3025
POTTSTOWN, PA (October 28, 2009) - Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station and its employees recently donated $3,000 to the Freedom Valley YMCA to help the agency keep Pottstown area residents healthy. This gift was one of several donations that were made possible through the funds that employees raised at the Sixth Annual Limerick Charity Golf Outing.
This donation will be used toward providing financial assistance to families that wish to continue their membership or childcare at the YMCA but would otherwise be unable to afford the membership.
"Contributions from local companies, such as Exelon Nuclear, are one of the main financial sources that we use at the Freedom Valley YMCA to help support our communities," said Jo Ann Short, Vice President, strategic initiatives. "This donation is a testament to the ongoing commitment that Limerick Generating Station and its employees have to our community."
Limerick Generating Station has a long standing relationship with the Freedom Valley YMCA. In 2006, Limerick donated $10,000 to the YMCA's Pottstown Branch. The five YMCA branches of the Freedom Valley YMCA are Audubon, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Spring Valley and Upper Perkiomen Valley.
Chris Mudrick, Limerick Generation Station site vice president, said, "The YMCA is an asset to our communities and helps improve the lives of local residents. Limerick employees are able to take advantage of the YMCA's services as the majority of our employees live nearby in Montgomery and Chester counties."
The annual Limerick Charity Golf Outing raised $65,000 for local charities in 2009, and has raised more than $300,000 for non-profit organizations over its history.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
