BP's green re-branding efforts began officially with the unveiling of its new BP Helios mark, named after the Greek sun god. The new logo did away with 70 years of corporate branding, replacing the BP shield, long associated in consumers' minds with the strength of British imperialism. The Helios mark cost US$7 million to develop and was forecast to cost the company another US$100 million a year to integrate into marketing and operations over the next two years. At the logo's unveiling, the company's chief executive officer directed attention to the company's recent purchase of the solar energy company Solarex, an acquisition that made BP the world's largest solar energy company. The unveiling of the Helios logo was a formalization of a re-branding strategy that had begun to emerge the year before with the CEO's announcement that 200 new BP sites around the world would be powered in part by solar energy, through solar panels placed on the roofs of gas pumps, and his commitment to reducing BP's own carbon dioxide emissions by 10 per cent by the year 2010. From the start, however, environmental groups heaped scorn on BP's green re-branding. Greenpeace gave the company its Greenhouse Greenwash Award, given to the largest "corporate climate culprit" on earth.

Victor Fernandes: Brown young but already a leader for Otters
Connor Brown hoped for a strong rookie season last year. He became the first Erie Otter named to the OHL's all-rookie first team.
He thought a strong year would lead to being chosen in the NHL Entry Draft. The Toronto Maple Leafs, his hometown team, picked him in the sixth round this past June. Then he strived to be a leader on a young team this season. Club officials named him captain.
It's been a whirlwind for the second-year winger.
"Everything just kind of escalated," said Brown, who ranked among the OHL's top rookie scorers a season ago with 25 goals and 53 points and now stands among the league leaders with 10 goals and 17 points.
"I didn't think I'd be where I am today," he said. "But if you work hard, good things happen."
Brown appreciates how much teammates have helped him elevate his overall game. But teammates credit him for being an inspiration to a young team.
"He's matured a lot in the (dressing) room and on the ice," veteran winger Connor Crisp said. "It's great to see for the younger guys who look up to him. They've got great skill as rookies. So it's nice to look up to someone like that, and be able to think that it's only his second year and he's doing as well as he is. It says a tremendous amount (about Brown)."
Brown feels some pressure in that leadership role. At this point last year, he was a little-known, undersized 13th-round draft pick who didn't know what to expect from the OHL.
He was only a month removed from choosing major juniors over the NCAA route.
"It was a pretty big decision," he said. "At the end of the day, I just thought that I want to play hockey the rest of my life. I thought I had a better chance to make a career out of hockey if I came here. You only get one shot at it. So I thought I would go all out."
Now the 5-foot 11-inch, 170-pound Brown is one of the cornerstones of what the Otters believe to be a bright future for this club.
"I just take it day by day," he said.
Each day, Brown leads by example while utilizing a fiery personality instilled by his family, especially his intense brother, Jeff, a former OHL player, and his really intense father, Dan, who coached him in minor hockey.
He works hard in practice. He lets teammates know when they're not working hard in practice. On game nights, he provides a spark on the ice through his passion and desire. That passion and desire also come out when teammates aren't fully focused on the game.
"Oh yeah, he gets going out there. It's pretty intense," veteran center Luke Cairns said. "He gets the guys going. He's the one to say, 'It's time to bear down here. We've got a game to play.' It's good to have a guy like that to look up to."
Brown says what he feels, even if it's not the nicest thing to say. He's about winning games, not sparing feelings.
"He says what's needed to be said. He's an honest guy. That's probably his best quality as a leader," rookie Connor McDavid said. "He doesn't sugarcoat much. Sometimes it's a little bit hurtful with some of the guys. But at the same time, it's what needs to be done."
Yet Brown also produces on the ice, which lends credibility to what he says.
"He's got so much skill," Crisp said. "He's such an underrated player in this league."

October 15 – 17, 2009, Philadelphia
An international conference at the University of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the German Historical Institute,Washington, DC, and the Heidelberg Center for American Studies.
Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War it is timely and necessary to assess the historical impact of these momentous developments on the West. Victory can be as unsettling in its own way as defeat, and recent events have shown that the West's "victory" in the Cold War has raised important questions about the nature and future of the West as a political, cultural, and economic space in a world where older divisions have passed away and new fault lines have begun to emerge.
This conference aims to consider those questions and to contribute to the historicizing of the European and German re-unification process by mapping intellectual responses to the events of the past three decades, asking how the end of the Cold War changed European and North American as well as non-Western perceptions of the West.

The mixologists at Grey Goose came up with the perfect libation to entertain guests at a viewing party – or dull the pain of another season ending.
"As a fan of the show, I was inspired by the strength and beauty of Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys Targaryen and her striking white hair," Grey Goose brand ambassador, Guillaume Jubien, tells PEOPLE. "The cocktail needed to contain delicate flavors yet maintain character. A cocktail like this really takes your party to the next level."
Plus, who doesn't love her dragons?

Petula recalled how he introduced her and Karen to the crowd, then invited them back to his dressing room. 'Elvis was drop-dead gorgeous, and he was clearly quite impressed with us too. We might have been the two biggest female stars in the world at that time, and it was pretty obvious he had plans for us.
It was flattering but I shuffled out, dragging Karen behind me, saying we had other things to do.
He was very amused by that. It was probably the first time anyone had ever turned him down'.

One of our goals is to increase the amount of time that kids are physically active during the school day. Studies have shown that shools can accomplish this without lengthening the school day or limiting other subjects by integrating activity into existing curriculum. Kids that are physically active learn well. That's good for their bodies and their minds. Congratulations to Brattleboro schools and and John Bentley for starting the Jump Start Learning Program in their schools. Kids are learning math, science and reading and jumping, hopping and skipping at the same time. And the kids are loving it!! If you'd like to see increased physical activity and education in your kids' schools, contact email@example.com with Vermont's Agency of Education. The State Board of Education is revising its education standards and is looking at changes to possibly allow great physical education and activity in the school day.

Is there a 'third way' on Solvency II for pensions?
The pensions industry has reacted with horror to the European Union's apparent keenness to apply Solvency II-style capital rules, originally intended for insurance companies, to pension schemes. But could there be something positive hiding in the proposals?
The EU has still set out little detail on exactly how it plans to "introduce a level playing field" between pensions and insurers. But there are clues.
Last month, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, a super-regulator for those two industries, introduced a new concept, called the holistic balance sheet.
According to some, the holistic balance sheet is simply "Solvency II by the back door". It would still lead to huge new liability numbers, and the closing of the few remaining open defined-benefit schemes. But others believe it is a way to take the sting out of the Solvency II tail. It might even lead to a positive debate in the UK on how to move beyond defined contribution and DB to create a system fit for the 21st century.
Under the holistic balance sheet, it is likely that liabilities would rise. But a value would also be put on the support of the sponsoring company, and this would be added to the asset side of the balance sheet. Trustees would have a more complete, and more accurate, view of all the resources they can call on and all the financial risks they are running.
That is the optimistic view. Eiopa is undoubtedly well-meaning in suggesting it. But the UK industry is all too familiar with the unintended consequences of new, more "accurate" financial metrics.
After all, international financial reporting standards, including the oft-maligned IAS 19, are just financial metrics for accountants to value things. But the criticism of them has persisted regardless, with some blaming them for contributing to the demise of DB. Measurement drives behaviour – for good or ill.
The defenders of the holistic balance sheet make the same argument as the accountants: it is a risk-analysis tool, a reporting metric. It does not necessarily have to lead to huge new deficits or huge new contributions to deal with them.
Some hope it might even spur a fuller debate on pensions in countries like the UK. Pensions minister Steve Webb has lately been talking of "Defined Aspiration" rather than DB – a similar idea to the successful Dutch system, where the inflation link can be cut if there is not enough money in the pot, but always as a last resort.
Falco Valkenburg, a Dutch actuary at Towers Watson who chairs the pensions committee of the actuarial trade body Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen, said: "I would hope that better information on the financial mechanics will also lead to adjusting pension arrangements. Theory has taught us that full and unconditional guarantees are impossible, unless unlimited financial means are available."
The Commission's final proposals in this area are not yet set in stone. It remains to be seen whether the holistic balance sheet rules are intended as an information tool to help trustees, or as a new deficit metric that the pensions regulator will be told to legally enforce.
One way forward might be compulsory reporting under the holistic balance sheet, but with no obligation to fund according to it. This may be an acceptable political compromise.
Whatever the EC ends up proposing, it is very difficult to imagine countries such as the UK or the Netherlands, which have homegrown pension-funding regimes they are quite happy with, agreeing to a radical Solvency II-style overhaul when the legislation reaches the Council of Ministers.

Here I stand, watching two of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time wrestling for the company's biggest prize. Thing is, this prize is wrapped tightly around my waist. Life is puzzling sometimes. Just eight days ago, I wrestled the match of my career in front of my hometown.
The moment was bittersweet for me. Despite defeating the face of the company, embarrassing the boss, and narrowly escaping with the Championship, the memory of my first WWE pay per view in Chicago attached itself to my unique train of thought like a leech to the human anatomy.
It was WrestleMania 22. The Allstate Arena located in the northern section of Chicago, Illinois.
Instead of the moment being a natural part of nostalgia, to this day, the moment lives in infamy. Can you blame me? Instead of performing, I was booked in what can be described as a "minor appearance" by WWE Management. The WWE Champion had this bright idea to utilize a "mob" style entrance for the event.
And who did management place in the entrance as a gangster? That's right, me, the hometown hero himself.
As I stared at the 17,000 in attendance, I made myself a promise that day. One day, I would be the center of attention. One day, I would step out of the shadows and perform in front my people in the Allstate Arena.
One day, I would bring the WWE Champion down.

Filed under: Main
For the past couple of weeks, I have found myself wavering –always late at night. I open the kitchen cabinet and pull out a block of chocolate and begin carving away at it with a knife, nibbling it bit by bit until it's gone. Sometimes when it's gone I get up and walk to Whole Foods to buy another one.
Where is this coming from? It's not about a hunger for chocolate, that much I know. What's clear is that it happens when I'm feeling tired and vulnerable. Which is a great deal, lately.
Many years ago, leaving Washington, DC for my move to California, I basically snuck out of town. No parties, no dinners, no farewells. Not even at work, since I was getting a promotion and being transferred. I can't really recall a single goodbye.
Fast-forward to 2009 when my then-husband and I were preparing to leave California for the mid-west. There were a number of farewells — with WeightWatchers groups in particular. And though I was against it, a huge going-away party that my ex insisted on throwing at the tennis club. I found it depressing and heart-wrenching.
Again, leaving the mid-west, there was another farewell –this time a "fundraiser" at a piano bar. I was smart enough not to invite any of my own friends. It was much easier to do "goodbyes" with my ex's colleagues and other folks I barely knew. We raised lots of money. I left early.
Now, once again and all too soon, I'm bidding adieu to folks. This time it's my community in New York City that I'm leaving as I launch myself into my new life back in California. Older and wiser, I know I need to chart a middle-path. No parties, but I'm taking the opportunity at every occasion to acknowledge with friends and supporters that I'm leaving. Lots of hugs and fond remembrances. It's been deeply moving. And terribly difficult.
Frequently I'm asked "Are you excited about the move?" And as I think of that block of chocolate, I reply, "Well, not exactly."
Everyone is asking me the same thing, and as my mom wisely said to me just this morning "It isn't that simple." Hang in there.Comment by neca 04.10.14 @ 10:22 am

QUEER TOWN: Obama and the Gays
On Tuesday, the Democratic Party will finally wrap up its long, hard fought primary season. There will be a lot of talk about who will ultimately be the best candidate to defeat Senator John McCain on Election Day, but gays and lesbians--in California and anywhere else--may want to consider something else: Who will draw the most voters to sink the expected anti-gay marriage ballot measure in November? According to Democratic political strategist Darry Sragow, Senator Barack Obama is that person.
Sragow says that since the man from Illinois attracts young and educated voters--the same voters, according to recent polls, who overwhelmingly support gay marriage--an Obama presidential candidacy sets up the most favorable conditions for defeating the anti-gay marriage initiative. Not only that, but the fight over the ballot measure may also help Obama win California.
"With Obama turning out the young and educated," says Sragow, "(the anti-gay marriage initiative) obviously adds fuel to the fire."
Sragow believes leaders in the gay community have already reached out to the Obama campaign, but the senator will have to consider his position carefully. "He's running to be president of all 50 states," says the political strategist. In other words, Obama needs to gauge how any kind of support for gay marriage will affect him throughout the United States, not just the Golden State.

Sragow says if Obama played it right, he would create a "floor" and a "ceiling," telling voters on the campaign trail that civil unions--the "floor" and Obama's current position--should be available to all gay couples, with marriage--the "ceiling"--to be determined by the states.
Obama has already seemed to take that line. On the day of the California Supreme Court ruling that made gay marriage legal in this state, the senator released this statement: "Barack Obama has always believed that same-sex couples should enjoy equal rights under the law, and he will continue to fight for civil unions as president. He respects the decision of the California Supreme Court, and continues to believe that states should make their own decisions when it comes to the issue of marriage."
David Mixner, a longtime political operative in the gay rights movement as well as the Democratic Party and supports the Illinois senator, also points to an additional statement made by the Obama campaign, which says, "On the issue of constitutional amendments, Senator Obama has been on record for some time: He opposes all divisive and discriminatory constitutional amendments, state or federal. That includes the proposed amendments in California and Florida."
As of late, Obama has been spending precious time and resources duking it out with Senator Hillary Clinton, and he will need to quickly set up strong, grassroots support for his candidacy in California. If gay marriage leaders can offer some crucial help in that area, they may be able to leverage a few things from the senator this November and beyond. It's the kind of power position gays haven't always been accustomed to, or realized they could operate from. It brings to mind the old Latin phrase written by the Roman poet Horace, "Carpe Diem." In English, it has been roughly translated into this: "Seize the Day."
Read more about Obama and his two major fund raisers in California, who are also a gay couple based in Los Angeles.

Deonta Vaughn also had a nice night scoring 13 points and dishing out nine assists, making Vaughn the twelfth member of the University of Cincinnati Basketball program to score 1,500 points in a career. Next on the list for Vaughn, will be eleventh on the all-time list and Darnell Burton at 1,584. Vaughn had a take on the honor, "I didn't really think about it too much. It feels great to be among one of the top scorers in Cincinnati. I look forward to keep doing great things to help Cincinnati get back to the top." Said Vaughn
The Bearcats depth was too much for the Rockets as eleven different Bearcats scored in the game. Sophomore Yancy Gates scored 14 points, on 6-8 shooting and added four assists and three rebounds. Guard Larry Davis had six points, five rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes of action on Wednesday Night.
As for the freshman update, the Bearcats got nice performances from three different freshmen against the Rockets. Not only did Lance Stephenson and Cashmere Wright have nice performances for Mick Cronin's Bearcats, but so did Suffolk, Virginia (King's Fork HS) guard Jaquon Parker five points, five rebounds, and two assists in thirteen minutes of action. Stephenson had 16 points on 6-13 shooting, including 2-4 from third point land on Wednesday Night and had two highlight reel dunks against the rockets, one coming on an alley-oop from Bishop late in the second half.
In other big Bearcat news, earlier Wednesday before they took the floor the Bearcats signed Kelvin Gaines. Gaines, a 6-10 center known for his defensive presence, averaged 10.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 6.2 blocks playing last season for Heat Academy in Martinsville, Virginia.
The next step for the Bearcats will come next Monday at the Maui Invitational when they open with the SEC's Vanderbilt Commodores at 5 pm. Vanderbilt has got off to a nice start beating Lipscomb 95-73, (a team who will come to Fifth Third arena on December 19th at 2 pm) and take on St. Mary's (CA) this weekend. Cincinnati leads the all-time series 5-1 and Cincinnati has won two straight, one win coming in 2004 and the last win coming in 2005, 92-83.

Who uses Linux and Open Source in Business?
Thanks to Glyn Moody, a UK-based technology journalist, I've just learned that Netflix is not only using, but also contributing, to numerous open-source projects. They're in good company.
As Kevin McEntee, Netflix's VP of Systems & ECommerce Engineering explained on a recent blog posting, Why we use and contribute to open source software, "Our budget, measured in dollars, time, people, and energy, is limited and we must therefore focus our technology development efforts on that streaming video software that clearly differentiates Netflix and creates delight for our customers. These limits require that we stand on the shoulders of giants who have solved technology challenges shared in common by all companies that operate at Internet scale. I'm really just articulating the classical build vs. buy trade off that everyone deals with when developing software.

text: Hi I have a bit of a situation and was wondering if anyone could help, I went into business with a friend a few years back and set a company. We filed the first years accounts with a loss and our second years accounts are seriously overdue. They haven't been filed because we have fallen out with each other. Companies house has recently written to me advising that they will strike of the company if it isn't trading etc. I wrote back advising that the company was still required and we are in the process of sorting out our accounts. I had hoped that I could get my so called friend to finalise the accounts (as he has most of the docs and knows whats going on in the company, better than me). But unfortunately he doesn't want to know, we are in the process of selling the business, a retail shop (not the company). Companies house have written back to me to say if I don't file accounts by a certain date they will prosecute the director (there's only one in the company, me) and fine the company. Were do I stand if I resign? no one else will take my place as a director. Will the company be struck of ? can companies house still prosecute me personally after I have resigned? Thanks in advance

Hello everybody, new year, new report, hope you enjoy it.
New year is there and with it came another excuse to do some flying. My wife had a family reunion to attend to somewhere in Belgium and she went there by car for a few days. As I had to work I decided to join her on Sunday in the town of Liege from where we would hit the road together to drive home. I checked some possibilities to fly there but everything turned out either too expensive or with an unsuitable schedule. So in the end I settled with just two Ryanair flights. Saturday morning from FKB to Ciampino and further on Sunday morning to Charleroi. I have actually never been to Rome before so that was an added benefit. And with just about 20,- Euro per flight (including taxes, fees, etc) it wasn't too expensive either
So here is the route map, nothing too spectacular, but nice for a weekend trip:
Flight 1 (22.01.2011)
Seat 26A
scheduled 11:00 – 12:30
actual 10:45 – 12:10
Fortunately my dad offered to drive me to the airport at this Saturday morning as FKB is a bit hard to reach by public transportation. And with an 11 o'clock departure it was an easy morning. I arrived at the airport at around 9:45 and went directly through security. Not many people there and the staff was very friendly and relaxed and even joked around with me.
Looks my flight is on time, nice:
Notice that there are only 7 flights the whole day. Well, Saturday is by far the slowest day at FKB. Also notice the delayed Germania flight to TFS. As I overheard later their plane obviously had some technical problem and everybody had to disembark again. The departure hall was full of frustrated tourists. Bad luck for them, but good luck for the only restaurant there, they made good business that day and eventually even run out of sandwiches.
The view from the smokers terrace to the control tower of Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden:
Soon thereafter it was time to board. A queue was already forming but with priority boarding I just went in front and was the first out on the apron for the short walk to the plane:
It was EI-DWW (delta double whiskey, I like that call sign ), first flight at January 24, 2008, so almost to the day three years ago.
As usual I boarded through the rear stairs and took seat 26A. Load factor was very light (maybe 50%), the last few rows were blocked, but it was still a whole row of three seats for me.
Boarding was completed quickly and the captain came on with a very friendly welcome and some information about the route of flight (Zurich, Milan, then directly to Rome on flight level 370) and the flight time (1:15).
Another view of the apron with an Air Berlin 737 that has just arrived from TXL:
Engines were started 15 minutes ahead of schedule, followed by a rather quick taxi to runway 03 and a rolling take-off. Airborne:
The "Staustufe Iffezheim", a power plant on the Rhine river which also marks the German-French border here:
Later the crew (three females, one male, friendly, but not too many smiles) handed out the BOB menu and the inflight magazine, which had a very nice cover this month:
Then the Alp mountains came into view, always a stunning and amazing sight:
Locarno and its airport on the shore of Lago Maggiore:
Formula-1-Fans will recognize this location, the famous racetrack in Monza:
Later on it was getting more and more cloudy and we also encountered some turbulence, nothing serious though. The crew continued with there inflight sales show which was completely ignored by almost everyone. (Has anyone ever seen anybody buying these smokeless cigarettes?).
Descent started and we were almost immediately within clouds. The Captain came on again with another friendly speech with some information on the not-so-good weather. He almost apologized that it was rather cold and rainy today in Rome. And indeed it was quite dark and depressing once we broke through the clouds.
The remainder of an old airport (?) :
Touchdown on a very wet runway 15:
Arrival at the gate was at around 12:15, so 15 minutes ahead of schedule, which of course caused them to play the famous fanfare.
I disembarked again through the rear stairs and hurried through the pouring rain to the terminal. Once outside I tried to find the bus going to Ciampino where I had booked a hotel. It turned out that I had just missed the 12:20 bus and that the next bus only leaves at 13:20. Oh well, no problem, as I wasn't in the mood for sightseeing anyway in this weather. The bus eventually arrived and just five minutes later I was in the town of Ciampino where I grabbed a nice Ciabatta sandwich for lunch. I stayed at the hotel Villa Guilia, small and basic room, but clean and ok for just one night. At around 4 o'clock the rain finally started to lessen and I thought "now or never" and got into a train towards Termini and from there with the Metro to the Colloseo:
This was like a childhood dream for me, since I have always wanted to see this famous building. Unfortunately it was already closed, well, next time. Then I just power walked through the city, passed some ancient roman ruins, the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II, the Trevi fountain, the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo and finally arrived at the Vatican:
After this 'Explore the Major Sights of Rome in just 3 Hours Tour' I was really hungry and, what else in Italy, had a very nice pizza with red wine. And as dessert one of the nicest Tiramisu I ever had.
Flight 2 (23.01.2011)
Seat 27A
scheduled 08:45 – 10:55
actual 08:55 – 10:55
Next morning the alarm sounded at 06:15 and I had a rather nice breakfast. Now this being a sunday the first bus to CIA departed only at 07:50 which I found a little bit tight for an 08:45 departure. So I decided to take a taxi. Well, that was quite a rip-off, as they charged me almost 20,- for the relatively short ride Still, with the bus I wouldn't have made it since the security line was awfully long and slow moving. It took nearly 30 minutes to get through.
I explored the airport a little afterwards and I must say, CIA definitely is a rather unpleasant place, even for a Low-Cost airport. Atmosphere like in a factory hall, crowded, very little seating available, not much to do. At least a somewhat nice view on the runway. FR is just departing, with the town of Ciampino in the background:
Pretty soon it was time to board my flight from gate 14. Bus boarding this time. They had a reserved area in one of the buses for the priority passengers, separated by a red chord, very nice. I joked with an American couple that this almost feels like Business class .
A 'Bye Bye EasyJet' logojet with, well, easyjet in the background:
After a short bus ride we arrived at the plane, EI-DLJ, first flight in 2006:
Again I boarded through the rear stairs and was greeted by a very friendly, probably Belgian FA. Again a rather light load factor, better than on the inbound flight, but still three seats for me. Three LCCs on one picture:
Pushback was about then minutes late and the Captain made a short welcome speech announcing the duration of the flight as 1:50. Takeoff was from runway 15, followed by a very slow climb. We were turning at a very low altitude and stayed low for quite some time before finally started to climb. I guess this was to avoid FCO airspace. Right after departure:
Fresh snow on the mountains:
Route of flight was along the coast, towards the Island of Elba:
making landfall somewhere near Genoa:
again crossing the Alps, again some stunning views:
crossing lake Geneva (here the city of Lausanne):
From there over the eastern parts of France and it was getting cloudy. The flight itself was uneventful, just the ordinary Ryanair flight. Descent started somewhere over France:
And pretty soon we descended into the clouds. Captain came on with a weather update of Charleroi, foggy and a temperature of around 0. And it was indeed very foggy, flaps fully extended and still nothing to see:
But there is indeed a runway here, touchdown:
Turning from the runway and taxiing to the gate, a little too fast for my liking given the bad visibility:
Anyway we arrived bang on time at the gate, well done, and again we were treated with the fanfare sound. I disembarked through the rear stairs, took a picture of the plane mirroring in the terminal windows:
Well, now I had a train to Liege to catch so I went out as quickly as possible and fortunately there was a bus to the train station ready to depart. It was a bit close to get the 11:40 train but I made it. After about one hour through the southern Belgian landscape with some not-so-nice industrial areas I finally arrived at the new Liege Guillemins train station, with its very interesting architecture:
Here I met my wife and now we had another 4 hours of Belgian and German autobahn to go before arriving at home.
A short trip, nothing too special flight wise, still two new airports for me. And my first visit to Rome, definitely an interesting city. The weather wasn't pleasant at all, but that is to be expected in January. Well, and about Ryanair, I know some of you here have some mixed feelings about that carrier, but they got me to my destination and back on time, without any problems, for a very affordable price. I know what to expect from the service, basically nothing, so that is ok for me. And the views from the plane are the same, regardless of the price you pay for your ticket
So that's it, thank you for reading this report. Hope you enjoyed it and, of course, questions and comments are very welcome.

WHEN MARGARET Garwood began composing operas 50 years ago, atonality dominated in new music, and her style of soaring arias and duets, lush harmony and sheer vocal beauty was considered passe.
Whatever goes around the theory books comes around, though. Garwood, now 83, still composes with that same expressive palette - one composers today strive for but rarely accomplish.
Not that the notes always come easily for Garwood, either.
In January 2002, after four years of work, she had completed just one scene of her fifth opera, based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter." When the Academy of Vocal Arts performed it in a chamber-size orchestration, this dramatic thunderbolt stunned the audience.

Kasi Passmore turned a class assignment into a $4,000 boost for her twin sons school.
The 26-year-old graduate student and mother of 4-year-old boys applied for and won the grant from the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association. The money will be used to buy physical education equipment and fruits and vegetables for Westview Primary School students.
I just wanted it to go to good use, Passmore said. If I was going to do the work, somebody might as well benefit from it.
Passmore decided to go for the funds months ago when she saw the syllabus for her educational research course at the College of Charleston. One of the final- project options was to write a grant, so Passmore asked whether she could do a real application and submit it.
Patty ODonnell, her teacher and grant writer for the College of Charlestons School of Education, Health and Human Performance, gave her the go-ahead. ODonnell said she gives this assignment to students because prospective educators can benefit from having these kinds of skills.
Teachers often end up spending their money on classroom expenses, she said.
I want to show this to them as an option for something they can do, she said.
ODonnell said Passmore took the initiative to talk to Luci Carter, the principal of her childrens school, and find out what they needed.
Carter passed along the dairy association grant suggestion to Passmore, who organized, researched and wrote the application. This is the first time a parent has volunteered to write a grant for the school, Carter said.
She was actively seeking an opportunity to do something for the school that really was beneficial, Carter said. This was perfect.
The school is trying to promote wellness, and it has created a wellness committee and is using a new exercise room that promotes movement tied to learning. The money will further the schools efforts to promote a healthy culture, Carter said.
Passmore has strong ties to Berkeley County schools. The Goose Creek native is an alumna of Stratford High, Westview Middle and Westview Elementary schools.
She is in graduate school working on her masters degree, which she plans to finish in December.
She already is certified in early childhood education, and she is hoping that earning her elementary education certification will make her more marketable and help her find a teaching job.
Passmore had to do more than her graduate class required and do it more quickly to meet the grants application deadline, but she said it was worth it.
The timing ended up working out in her favor too. Passmore was pregnant last semester, and she ended up having her third son during exam week.
It was good to get it done early, she said.
Passmore earned an A on her final project.

Power to Heal
by: Lee DeYoung
Accounts of miraculous healings are prominent throughout the Gospels and Acts. Although Jesus' primary mission was to proclaim that "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt. 10:7), along the way he demonstrated his compassion and power by healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons. In Acts 3, Peter and John showed their apostolic authority by healing "a man lame from birth" (v. 2). So miraculous was this transformation that the man and a crowd of Jerusalem onlookers were "utterly astounded" (v. 11). Peter diligently redirected their admiration to the risen Christ: "faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all" (v. 16).
Examples of miraculous healing in Jesus' name abound today as well. In the Himalayan nation of Bhutan, a Hindu priestess suffered from a chronic stomach disorder from which she unsuccessfully sought healing through numerous Hindu rituals over a period of years. Recently, a friend introduced her to the Words of Hope Dzongkha language broadcast. The message of God's love and Jesus' sacrifice touched her heart and inspired her at the end of the program to pray to the living God. As she prayed, she experienced complete healing. She surrendered her life to Christ and now knows the peace and joy that had eluded her as a Hindu priestess. Today she is blessing others as an active member of the Dzongkha listener club in her village. Praise God!

Overcast ~
High: 76°F ~ Low: 56°F
Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016
August 1, 2012Posted Tuesday, July 31, 2012, at 11:46 AM
"God, it was hot!" "Forget about frying an egg on the sidewalk; this kind of heat would fry an egg inside the chicken." Thank you, Rachel Caine, and I believe that quote describes our July heat in Malden.
We celebrated the Fourth of July without any public fireworks display. Lack of enough financial contributions was the cause. Our fire chief banned burning, but we still allowed individual fireworks. There may have been some fires caused by the fireworks, and some fool allegedly shot some large rockets at two of our police officers. The city council met on July 16th and voted four to three to ban the sale and use of fireworks inside the Malden city limits. I vetoed the proposed ordinance.
There is a very strong case for making the sale and use of fireworks illegal. I think if we pass a law, there should be some reasonable expectation that the law can be effective. Malden, in years past, did make the sale of fireworks illegal. I'm not sure if their use was illegal. I don't recall that the past law resulted in any diminution of the explosion of gunpowder. I, and my cohorts, shot off a lot of it. The current law, if it were enforced to the hilt, would stop many of the "problems" associated with our nation's birthday celebration. We would also alienate our Founding Fathers because we would more than likely have to quarter troops in our homes to have enough manpower. A complete ban would probably require the Missouri National Guard. The most serious event involving fireworks was a fool shooting some at the police. Anyone who does anything to endanger or assault a law officer should be jugged regardless of his choice of weapon, and we have laws on the books at both the local and state level to cover those situations.
The incredible heat we have experienced along with the record setting drought have had a much more direct impact than the fireworks. Aside from the effect of the heat on agriculture, health, and outside activity there is a vicious blow to everyone's pocketbook in the form of higher utility bills. I have received several telephone calls from people asking about their electrical bills from the Malden Board of Public Works. The calls fall into two general categories. People want to know why their bill is so high and some ask for assistance in paying their bill.
The best answer to the first question is that the brutal heat results in more usage. The BPW rates have been stable, but our electric meters are whirring. I checked my usage between this past month and the same period a year ago, and I consumed sixty percent more electricity this year. The electric portion of my bill is up by the same amount. This is not cold comfort.
The BPW works hard to keep our local cost as low as possible. The cost of power purchased (Malden's electric bill) is their single largest expense. The total expenses of the electric department of the BPW are $5,339,435.83 year to date. The BPW is still waiting for $449,000 in reimbursements from the state and federal government relating to the 2009 ice storm. The Malden BPW meets on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:00 P.M. at the BPW building on East Laclede Street. The meetings are open to the public. Please attend if you have any questions. If you have questions and can't make the meeting, call and I will attempt to give you an answer.
If you have trouble paying your bill there is not a lot of help available. The BPW offers a payment plan and the Delta Area Economic Opportunity Corporation (DAEOC) gives some assistance. The BPW follows the rules of the Missouri Public Service Commission regarding disconnect for failure to pay. There is a sincere attempt made not to disconnect anyone during temperature extremes. The bottom line is as always the "bottom line." Unpaid utility bills are a significant expense for our locally owned municipal utility company.
The financial report for the City of Malden is as follows:
Balance $1,348,844.63
Balance $1,342,435.90
