A local woman thought she had taken care of her final arrangements 13 years ago.
But she recently found out there's no record of the services she says she paid $800 to receive after she passes away. The situation may boil down to her word against those she says she paid. But it shows the importance of keeping excellent documentation if you pre-plan your funeral.
Thirteen years ago, Shirley Pendleton says she and her mom went into a local funeral home to make final arrangements for themselves. Her mom has since died, but Shirley, just recently found out there seem to be no records of the plans she made for herself for cremation. "The last part of 2012 in November, I called the funeral home because I had questions regarding how the organ donation, which I also signed up for, was going to work out with my cremation and at that time, I was told they could find no record of my signing up for cremation," said Pendleton.Shirley has documents she was given and a copy of a check she wrote back in May 2000, but she doesn't have a copy of the back of the check showing it was cashed. At this point, no one will take responsibility for the policy that apparently was never issued. The bank says it does not have records beyond seven years.
Pendleton has filed various complaints to try to get her money back. "As of this date, there is no record or proof to show that my check was ever negotiated. I don't keep records that far back," she said.Even worse than losing the money, Pendleton feels as her integrity is being questioned.
"I just wasn't aware that people could do something like this. I paid for something I never got. I lost whatever it is you have when you think you have a policy and if something were to happen to me now, even if I were to get the $800 back, it wouldn't go as far as it would have thirteen years ago," said Pendleton. If she had to do it all over again, Pendleton says she'd make sure she kept meticulous records and perhaps even bring a younger relative along as a witness.

December 31, 2013
As Stetson University welcomes 2014, we cannot help but to be inspired by recalling the important and even historic events and milestones achieved this past year on the part of students, faculty, staff and alumni. We've chosen some benchmark stories and welcome stories that you might have —just leave them in the comment section below.
The following stories brought us to a new level of excellence as a university in 2013. These stories are impressive and show that Stetson is poised not just for success, but for significance in making a difference in the world in the new year.
In College of Arts and Sciences news:
In School of Business Administration news:
In College of Law news:
At a time when most law schools across the country have had to adapt to the new marketplace and dwindling applications, the number of students enrolled in the College of Law's entering class was very close to the projected enrollment goals for this year, while increasing First Year's LSAT scores and applicants' GPAs. As reported in STETSON LAW, only Stetson is ranked in the top five of the key standards for trial advocacy (#1), and legal writing (#5) by U.S. News, both vital skills for attorneys. The percentage of Stetson law graduates who passed the Florida bar exam on the first try in February 2013 was at 93.9 percent. The state average for passing on the initial effort was 80.2 percent. Other notable law news includes:
In School of Music news, two music faculty members celebrated 30 years of teaching in Stetson's Music School this year:
The WORLD: International Learning – adds two new programs: Vietnam and Brazil – Through both new programs, Stetson is now well-positioned to cover the globe in enhancing its international connections and expand its offerings to faculty and students. In President Wendy Libby's blog in Huffington Post, she writes, "approximately five percent of Stetson's student body this year comes from 55 countries, which gives our U.S. students rich exposure to other cultures in one of the best possible ways… I know we have an obligation to provide tomorrow's leaders with experiences that will prepare them for meaningful work and lives … in meeting global needs."
Stetson wins Florida Campus Compact top award – Stetson's Center for Community Engagement was awarded the top 2013 Campus-Community Partnership award for its collaborative work with the Volusia County Public School District.
In its recent refurbishment, it became evident that Holler Fountain holds more than water. The iconic fountain, once referred to by a past Stetson president as a "fountain of youth," was restored back to its aqua blue color, the original shade of the cast iron fountain. The very bright blue hue greeted the students when they arrived on campus in the fall. The odds of having at least one memorable moment involving Holler Fountain is almost guaranteed. Please send us your favorite fountain memory in the comments below.
Stetson will roll out a new Tobacco/Smoke-Free Plan to begin on Stetson's residential campuses in DeLand and Gulfport in August 2014 – The policy prohibits all forms of tobacco use including e-cigarettes and a variety of smokeless products on Stetson buildings, structures, grounds, parking lots and in university and personal vehicles while on Stetson grounds. "Stetson is committed to providing a safe and healthy living, learning and working environment for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors," said President Libby.
Peter Edelman, director of the Center on Poverty, Inequality and Public Policy, and law professor at Georgetown University, was the inaugural speaker for Stetson University's new Social Justice Lecture Series. The Edelman lecture, held in mid-October, was entitled, "So Rich, So Poor: Why It's So Hard to End Poverty in America." For more information on the university's new lecture series, visit Stetson's Social Justice Lecture Series website.
SUM wins CASE Grand Award for Green or Sustainable Publications for VISUAL Admissions Magazine. Stetson University Marketing received eight CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education) awards at the CASE District III Conference held in February in Atlanta. CASE awards include writing, editing, professional execution of publications, design, technical quality, creativity and an array of other elements to the programs. In addition to the Grand Award, Stetson won two Awards of Excellence and five Special Merit Awards.
In the current issue of STETSON Magazine, "Unleashing Innovation: How We Achieve Significance – An endowed gift names the first dean position in Stetson's history," the article describes that after 50 years of service to the university as a Stetson librarian, Trustee alumna Betty Drees Johnson has funded the Betty Drees Johnson Dean of the duPont-Ball Library and Digital Learning Resources Endowed Chair, held by Sue Ryan, as well as library innovations. Dean Ryan has challenged the librarians and staff to make the library a showcase library, ahead of the curve in learning technologies and innovative ways to disseminate information.
A growing endowment is a signal of a university's strength and its ability to weather change. Income from our endowment funds scholarships, faculty positions and a range of initiatives as part of our day-to-day operations. In the university's current fundraising campaign, monies raised will go to the university's highest priorities, as outlined in Stetson University's Strategic Map, including: Enriching the Student Experience, Advancing Academic Innovation and Creating a Vibrant Community. Nearly $35,000,000 was raised in the last academic year.
In other Hatter Athletics news:
DeLand, home of Stetson University, won Best Downtown in Central Florida – In the Orlando Sentinel's online competition, which kicked off Thanksgiving Day and ran through Dec. 16, DeLand beat out Winter Park, Winter Garden and ultimately, Mount Dora by more than 8,000 votes in the final round, thanks in large part to the online votes of Stetson's alumni, faculty, staff and students.
We know we didn't capture all the good news in the above highlights, so if you'd like to add something, please send us your comments (below) and contribute your good news Stetson story or your favorite Stetson moment in 2013.

The Waterloo Bucks were back on the field Monday night after flooding washed out Sunday's game.
Water from the Cedar River lapped at the front entrance as Riverfront Stadium lived up to its name.
The parking lot may be closed but fans still found their way to the ballpark.
Wes Brooks says he tries to make it to at least one Bucks game a week.
He says flooding issues in the parking lot weren't going to stop he and his family from attending Monday night's game.
"It's certainly not convenient by any means. As a fan of baseball, Bucks baseball, we can park on Conger and make it no problem," said Brooks.
The biggest inconvenience is the parking. People have to park here on Conger, then walk over the levee to the ballpark. Despite the walk, fans are still streaming into the stadium because the team's on a hot streak.
Inside the stadium, the game's still the game.
A good crowd, cold beer, runs scored.
While the field was never threatened, the water made it close to the building near the front concession stand.
Workers moved items out of harm's way.
"Better safe than sorry. We got stuff to higher ground, got in this morning and moved it back in and get ready for this game," said Bucks general manager Dan Corbin.
Fans like John Schotter are glad no games were canceled.
"I was here in '08 and last year when water lapped at the front. It's just an inconvenience. I just want to make sure I can see the Bucks on a winning streak here," said Schotter.
The next game isn't until Monday, which provides plenty of time for the floodwaters to recede and the parking lot to be open by then.

Vienna Award
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2007)
The Vienna Awards are two arbitral awards by which arbiters of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy sought to enforce peacefully the claims of Hungary on territory it had lost in 1920 when it signed the Treaty of Trianon. The First Vienna Award occurred in 1938 and the Second in 1940.
The awards sanctioned Hungary's annexation of territories with ethnic Hungarian majority in present-day Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania which Hungary had sought to regain in the period between the two World Wars. The different name Vienna Diktats expresses the point of view of the countries which stood to lose territory as a result.
After WWII, the Paris Peace Treaties, signed on 10 February 1947, declared null and void both Vienna Awards, canceling Hungary's gains from Czechoslovakia and Romania.
First Vienna Award[edit]
By this award, Germany and Italy compelled Czechoslovakia to cede southern Slovakia and southern Subcarpathia (now in Ukraine) to Hungary on 2 November 1938.
Second Vienna Award[edit]
By this award, Germany and Italy compelled Romania to cede half of Transylvania (an area henceforth known as Northern Transylvania) to Hungary on 30 August 1940. This decision was taken not so much to do justice as to win Hungary for German war aims.[citation needed] In reversing a major element of the Treaty of Trianon, it, like Trianon, granted a multi-ethnic area to another country, caused massive migration of populations from both sides, and sundered old socioeconomic units.
In addition to the Second Vienna Award, on 7 September 1940 the Cadrilater or "Quadrilateral" (southern Dobrudja) was given by Romania to Bulgaria under the Treaty of Craiova. It had been part of Romania since 1913, after Bulgaria's defeat in the Second Balkan War.

Last week, I went to Chinatown and scored some great deals! I have a post coming up that will explain how I'm finding it EASIER to eat for $3.33 in Boston! I was initially worried it wouldn't be possible, but I am eating better than ever thanks to Fairfoods (www.fairfoods.org), Haymarket, Trader Joes and Chinatown!
3 lbs 6 oz firm tofu 3.59Ginger 1.28
Noodles 1.00
Daikon .76
Miso 4.99
63 oz soy sauce 2.99
BTW, I am keeping track of my shopping list and prices for the month HERE. You can find Octobers list and prices HERE.
While my favorite tofu ever is Trader Joes Extra Firm, I couldn't pass up this deal and I'm glad I did. This tofu was super fresh (although not firm at all.. but roasting it firmed it up and kept it nice a juicy at the same time!
No need to dirty a bowl, just drizzle some toasted sesame oil on a sheet pan, place the tofu on top and drizzle with soy sauce, garlic powder and black pepper. Flip the tofu and roast for 30 minutes and 400. Halfway through, flip the tofu and season the other side with soy sauce, garlic powder and pepper. Lemon Pepper would be really good if you have it!.. and some cumin would be lovely as well.
Before Roasting
I also scored asparagus in my $2 Produce Bag, so I roasted it up .. super simple. Same method: Coat with a bit of oil, soy sauce, garlic powder and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes.
I made this amazing Kale Salad and topped it with the tofu, asparagus and my Chipotle Hummus (I made it with white beans this time!)
This may have been one of the best things I've eating in a long, long time!
What are your favorite meals?

by Lauren Ganes, Marathon Coordinator, February 19, 2013
Amazing! WOW Half Marathoners completed 130 minutes of running on Sunday at beautiful Inspiration Point. And this Sunday they will increase their time and or mileage to 140 minutes or 13 miles (whichever comes first). This is an incredible accomplishment! Thank you, Coach Stephanie for creating a great training program. It is so wonderful to know that on Sunday mornings you will have friends to run this long and increasing distance with.
As you add these longer distances it is important to stay hydrated. Hydration begins now, during the week, by making sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Since it is currently cold, in addition to water, you might want to include tea or soup to stay warm.
Lemon-Lime Gatorade will be at the 8 Aid stations along the Oakland Marathon course, make sure you try it before race day. If it doesn't agree with you, make sure to try another electrolyte liquid like Nuun or Gu Brew. You want an electrolyte liquid with sodium, potassium and calcium. Try to have 16 ounces of electrolytes with you this Sunday. I always use my 1 minute of walking as a time to hydrate. The electrolytes help maintain the hydration of your leg muscles. You don't want a side stitch or muscle cramp to interfere with your run.
A WOW member, Kara Waltz, who is a chiropractor and soccer player told me that she drinks a large glass of water and another glass of electrolyte liquid on Saturday night before training, races, or games.
After your long run it is equally important to eat some protein within the first 30-60 minutes. Additionally, drinking an electrolyte liquid all afternoon will aid in a faster recovery.
Hydrating early and often is a key to a successful half marathon.
Go, WOW Women!

Small for gestational age (SGA)
Small for gestational age (SGA) means a fetus or infant is smaller in size than normal for the baby's gender and gestational age.
Alternative Names
Low birth weight
Ultrasound is used to find out if a fetus is smaller-than-normal for age (intrauterine growth restriction). The most widely used definition of SGA is birth weight below the 10th percentile.
A fetus with intrauterine growth restriction will be small in size and can have problems such as:
- Increased red blood cells (polycythemia)
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Low body temperature (hypothermia)

Word of Mouth: Chalazae
You're totally grossed out by these, and the words "umbilical cord," "sperm," or "embryo" may have crossed your mind a few times upon encountering these thick, ropey strands of egg white that are often attached to an egg yolk. Relax. The chalazae's only role is to anchor the egg yolk to the center of the egg. Remember, the eggs we eat are not fertilized, and chickens are not mammals, therefore no umbilical cord, sperm or embryos, my friends.
There's even a useful aspect to the chalazae: the larger it is, the fresher the egg. Once cooked, they disappear and have no effect on recipes, with the exception of custards, which usually call for straining to remove them in order to achieve a perfectly smooth texture.
10 Comments
This is good to know. My husband is totally grossed out by this and thinks it is the umbilical cord. Therefore I'm stuck with the job of removing it. I never removed it until we started dating and always thought it was a bunch of hooey. But never worth arguing over.
Whew. That information TOTALLY makes me feel better. Thanks! =)
I usually remove the chalazae when baking because with some recipes it can show up as small white eggy bit (mixer be damned). Saute tongs work *really* well for this. Pinch the stuff with the tongs right where it meets the yolk, then lift tongs out with chalazae side up. It takes a teeny bit of practice but then it's a cinch. Plus tongs are easier to wash than a strainer.
Thanks Sara Kate-- I never knew how to spell it!
Weird. Back in the day I was a redneck and was in 4-H club in Georgia. Anyway we did livestock judging, and one of the categories was judging eggs (no joke). You would hold them up to the light, and any spots on the yolk or any of those things would be an automatic reason to put them at the bottom of the group. Now I wonder why.
Embryos are not restricted to mammals, considering that when a fetus develops it reflects all teh evolution that our species has gone through (fish, tails, etc).
So then what are the collection of cells inside a fertilized chicken egg called?
raised on a farm, I was told that the yolk of an egg becomes the chick while the white provided the nutrients during incubation. Is this correct and if so, how does the chick receive these nutrients?
Thanks! I am glad to see this good information about C H A L A Z A E I am 50 years old and never pay attention to the inside of the eggs but for the last three weeks I've been buying eggs and returning them back to the stores because of the white thing on the yolk so I got tired of driving back to the stores and waisting more money on gas so i call the department of poultry to find about the eggs,and they tol dme what it was and the correct name for it so that is why I am on your web site Thank you.
i dnt care wether its cords, its still chicken period!!!!!
sandra, isn't it just the opposite?
Actually, when I took developmental biology, we learned that the collection of cells inside a fertilized egg is an embryo, and it receives most of its nutrients from the yolk. Also, when chickens mate, the male does release sperm into the female that fertilizes the eggs before the shell is formed. Mammals aren't the only ones with sperm and embryos!

Turn left at Arch ST, and right at 12th ST. Hotel parking is just past Market ST on your right. It is 50 miles to the hotel, approximately one hour.
Q: What does PSFS stand for? I saw a picture of the sign on the roof.
A: PSFS stands for "Philadelphia Savings Fund Society", built in 1932. The 27' high PSFS sign illuminated the landmark building in a halo of red neon, the first time that advertising was integrated into a building's design. The PSFS is visible from a 20 mile distance on a clear night. More info

A: Yes. There is a 20-meter, 2-lane heated lap pool located on the 5th Floor of the hotel. Towels and a locker room are available.
Q: Is the Loews close to the "Rocky" steps?
A: Yes. In the academy award-winning movie Rocky, Sylvester Stallone, famously runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You can do your own Rocky impersonation 365 days a year by visiting the Art Museum steps, a very pleasant 30 minute walk along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

Adventures in the Flipped Classroom
Wednesday, October 31st, 2-3:30pm
Two years ago, MJ Pelletier began designing and teaching online versions of two notoriously difficult, comprehensive accounting courses. An admitted a technology geek, she began exploring ways to better leverage time and technology, knowing that a 2.5 hour live class could not be adequately taught in a 1.5 hour chat room. Following the lead of Khan Academy and the growing trend in self-paced video learning, MJ set out to redesign her live class in a format that would work for online students. She is beginning to implement similar techniques in her live class beginning this Fall. Come share her adventures, setbacks, learning moments, and advice from the "school of hard knocks" in how to redesign your course using the wealth of technology that is currently available.

Your Voice Sounds Fine: Using Podcasts to Promote Learning Thursday
Thursday, November 8th, 1-2:30pm
Podcasts can increase the time and engagement that students give to their classes. Instructors can produce podcasts to record the proceedings of a class meeting, present course content for students to view at home in a "flipped" classroom setting, or encourage small-group study in a face-to-face course. Bring your laptop—we will demonstrate the mechanics of making audio podcasts and screencasts using applications that are supported at Suffolk for the Mac and PC. We will also brainstorm about how to integrate podcasts as tools for your academic discipline's courses. Prior to the workshop, pre-registrants will be sent links with (1) primary information about podcasts and (2) where to download podcasting applications.

Forbes published an interview before the big game with Interbrand executives and a panel of industry insiders, discussing their picks for the most anticipated Super Bowl ads of the year. Super Bowl Ad Watch from brandchannel has kept readers in the loop on upcoming ads, brewing controversies and new brand developments ahead of Sunday's game. During the big game branding lovers are tweeting with @Interbrand about the #superbranding action, sharing their take on the ad action.
Chris Campbell, Executive Creative Director at Interbrand, shared with Forbes that he was looking forward to the new Kia Space Babies ad and "seeing how this new character will come to life and engage consumers following the Super Bowl spot. The hashtag #SpaceBabies on Twitter is a start, but the brand will need to think strategically about how it users Twitter (and other social platforms) to not talk to consumers, but with them – creating a rich and meaningful conversation."
Campbell noted Claire Chai, SVP of Brand Marketing at Kia, when talking to Interbrand about the company's goals said, "Our mission is to become one of the most desirable brands in the automotive industry by providing a different type of driving experience that will enhance people's lives and enrich them every day."
Kia's advertisement, Campbell says, "is a clear articulation of that goal in the marketplace – as the kid in the backseat breaks our cinematic gaze with 'But Jake said babies are made when mommies and daddies…' - dad cues the voice-activation system and the music that follows averts the seemingly awkward situation. 'It has an answer for everything' appears next and clearly reflects Kia's ambitions to improve the customer experience."
Stuart Green, CEO of Interbrand Asia-Pacific, adds, "The ad reflects KIA's brand positioning particularly in the US, but also globally. It showcases how they have been expressing the brand - highlighting 'family values,' but also keeping it fun, by targeting people with a 'young at heart' disposition. As this ad is for Kia's Sorento SUV, the coming together of family is particularly well executed."
Another Super Bowl auto ad standout for Green is Ford's Lincoln spot. "Ford is in the process of reinventing the Lincoln brand. For Generation Y consumers, mention the name Lincoln – and it will probably evoke images not far off from our 16th president – likely their grandfather sitting behind the wheel of a town car," he says. "The company is trying to change that and reach a new generation of progressive luxury buyers, particularly with its new MKZ mid-sized sedan."
He adds, "As one of the few Super Bowl ads that didn't already appear online, I am looking forward to the result of its Twitter crowd-sourcing initiative – and seeing its first-ever Super Bowl ad, especially in the form of 140-character tweets. It's always exciting when a brand is able to reinvent itself and what I have seen from their previous TV ad spots, Lincoln has been able to weave in its heritage, while still emphasizing that is capable of transforming consumer expectations."
As Green mentioned, a number of Super Bowl ads were released ahead of the game. Does this weaken their impact or can it help build conversations and help the brands?
Rebeca Arbona, Executive Director, Strategy & Research for Interbrand, weighed in saying, "If it's a good ad, yes it can be advantageous to share it ahead of the Super Bowl. At Interbrand we believe that one of the drivers of strong brands is presence, the idea that a brand is in the consumer's world and being spoken about favorably, so it makes sense to be everywhere you can."
"But whether or not it gives them a bigger return, in terms of driving sales, depends on a lot of factors," Arbona explains. "First and foremost is whether or not people like the ad, so that you're creating positive buzz or negative buzz. And does it clearly communicate a consistent brand-building message that makes people inclined to think favorably about the brand and its products?"
Scott Lucas, Executive Director of Interbrand Cincinnati, concludes, "As Super Bowl mania ramps up, people tend to be swayed by a combination of memory, loyalty and buzz when it comes to ads. If a brand had a great ad during last year's Super Bowl, people expect an encore. If they love a brand, they'll want to see it come to life—in full regalia—during the big game. Others get caught up in the pre-game hype. They're anticipating an ad because they were told it was going to be good."
"From Interbrand's perspective," Lucas says, "the ads we're most anticipating are not necessarily the ones that are generating the most buzz. The ones that are truly smart, strategic and tie into the brand proposition."

Market Day Canele
I might be in Headhouse this Sunday. After making a mega sample batch last Sunday it was apparent the packaging needed simplification. This image is printed on a sticker and holds the rolled paper closed.

I just sampled your caneles for the first time this weekend. I work at one of the other market stands, and honestly never heard of a canele before. I was starving after working 4 hours! It was excellent! Really unique and flavorful and sooo delicious. It is so great to sample something new. I will be back, and I will spread the word. Great product, and good luck!

7 notes &
Something I did during a bout of insomnia to post on Dribbble, as it's been ages since Sean drafted me and I hadn't submitted anything yet.
Been watching KOJAK on Hulu and completely forgot what a badass show it was. New York in the lawless '70s … old-school detective work without computers or DNA (or ANY CSI procedure, apparently - pick that evidence up with your bare hand, sure, no problem!) … awesome guest stars just starting out (Harvey Keitel was so hot when he was young!) … and Savalas with that sexy velvety voice all full of "baby"s and "sweetheart"s and "hello, beautiful"s … SWOON. Seriously, 50 and bald … I'd like to be his grape Tootsie Pop. And those shades! David Caruso wishes his shades bit was as cool as Kojak's, man.
Anyway, it's now topped THE WIRE and CHiPS as my favorite cop show of all time.
Incidentally, I had no plan here … I love just opening Illustrator and starting to mess around. In fact, the only thing I was certain I wanted was to use his catchphrase: "Who Loves Ya, Baby?" as his other trademark: his lollipop stick. Other than that, the rest just happened.
And yes, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE is still coming - TWO posters of it, actually - I guess it's just a Telly Savalas week … just took a short diversion from Blofeld to Kojak.

The Right Energy Company to Invest In
tarun is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
U.S.-based energy company Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) reported its earnings on Thursday, Nov. 8. The company has reported tremendous growth in both earnings and revenue resulting from the merger with Raleigh-based Progress Energy and growth in customer numbers.
Facts & Figures
Duke Energy's latest numbers are very good, with the company's earnings and revenues both have exceeded analyst's estimates. In it's third quarter Duke posted net income of $594 million, up from $472 million a year earlier. Earnings per share fell to $0.85 from $1.06 as shares outstanding increased by 57%, due to the deal with Progress. Excluding one-time items and other charges to integrate Progress, the company earned $1.47 per share. Revenues have climbed 67% to $6.72 billion from $4.01 billion from the same period last year.
The combined (Duke and Progress Energy) company's great start is clearly reflected in the company's financials. The synergies generated from the merger have led to savings for customers and investors. The fleet modernization program of the company has realized benefits, despite unfavorable weather. The company is nearing the end of its $9 billion fleet modernization program, which will increase the efficiency and fuel diversity of their generation, helping them comply with stricter environmental laws.
Many of Duke's new projects, like Cliffside Unit 6, are undergoing intensive testing and commissioning processes and are expected to be commercially available by the end of the year. The company's combined cycle natural gas projects in the Carolinas, Dan River, Lee, and Sutton are on schedule to start by year end. The company has also added more renewable source of energy in its portfolio and expects a total generation of 2000 MW of renewable energy by the end of this year.
Looking Around
American Electric Power Company (NYSE: AEP) had reported its third quarter earnings on Oct. 24, with revenues and earnings almost in line with analyst's consensus. The negative impact in earnings is mainly because drought and low-water conditions have hampered its river transport business in Ohio. The company expects growth through transmission network expansion, cost control measures, and electricity generation through its first ultra-supercritical coal plant of the country, Turk Plant. The languid state of economy in many of the states where AEP provides services will restrict its growth opportunities. This public utility company will need time and changes to get on track; until then I would not suggest investing in American Electric Power Company.
Center Point Energy (NYSE: CNP) reported its net income for the quarter at $10 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The earnings of $10 million includes in a $252 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge associated with company's competitive Energy Services business, and a $136 million non-cash pre-tax gain associated with the purchase of the remaining interest in its joint venture Waskom. The company, apart from the above adjustments, has delivered strong performance and its regulated electric and gas distribution utilities have performed well despite low natural gas prices. The analysis of numbers makes it easier to decide on the company's dwindling performance, as revenues and earnings have fallen significantly. Although management is very positive about company prospects, going with the current numbers I will not expose my portfolio to Center Point Energy.
Final Words
Outland Energy Services, which maintains and monitors wind turbines, has been bought by Duke Energy, further adding value to company's renewable source of energy. Duke Energy has a strong balance sheet and a good liquidity position, which will help the company to grow its business as well as dividends. The company's financial strength should help it to grow in a cost-effective manner, thereby directly benefiting its customers and investors. The growth in the last quarter was phenomenal, though the same results might not be delivered in the coming quarters; however, the company looks very good with a long-term investment horizon.

Legendary director Martin Scorsese is responsible for some of Hollywood's modern classics, including Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas and, in a career spanning four decades, it's almost impossible to comprehend he just recently received his first Academy Award. Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942 in New York City and developed a love for the cinema from regular outings to the movies with his father. Alfred Hitchcock was an early influence on Martin, as well as Italian neo-realist cinema. Growing up in a Catholic family, Martin originally wanted to go to the seminary and become a priest, but he ended up in film school at New York University, where he graduated in 1969 with an MFA in film directing. While still in school, Martin made a number of short films and directed his first full-length movie, Who's That Knocking on My Door in 1967. With its New York backdrop, spotlight on Italian-American life, rock soundtrack and distinctive editing style, Martin was already establishing the film making style he's still famous for. Following in the footsteps of such directors as Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron, Martin directed an independent film, the gangster drama Boxcar Bertha under B-movie producer Roger Corman's American International Pictures banner in 1972. Although it wasn't a huge box-office or critical success, it taught the director how to shoot quickly and cheaply. 1973 brought Scorsese his breakthrough movie Mean Streets, which also began his long association with actor Robert De Niro. The pair teamed up again in 1976 for the controversial Taxi Driver, which co-starred Jodie Foster as an underage prostitute. The film won the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture. His next project, New York, New York with De Niro and Liza Minnelli was a flop, but he returned to form with the documentary The Last Waltz, chronicling the farewell performance by The Band. 1980's Raging Bull is considered by many to be the greatest film of Scorsese's career. The gritty, black and white drama stars De Niro, who famously gained 60 pounds to pay boxing legend Jake La Motta. The movie is considered one of the greatest films of the 1980s and won an Oscar for De Niro. His next two films The King of Comedy and After Hours, were not met with initial success, but became cult favorites. 1987's The Color of Money with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise was Scorsese's first commercially successful film, which he followed up with his most controversial film, 1988's Last Temptation of Christ. The 1990s brought even more success for the director with the mob dramas Goodfellas and Casino as well as Cape Fear and the period drama The Age of Innocence. Scorsese continued to rack up the Oscar nominations and was starting to be regarded as the Susan Lucci of the Academy - receiving nominations for both Gangs of New York and The Aviator and in 2006, he was finally honored with a Best Director Oscar for The Departed in 2007. Thanks to his body of work, Martin has deserved the honors he's achieved in his career and is truly an American treasure.

There are arguably few jobs in sport more stressful and pressure-filled than being starting goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens.
On Monday night at the Bell Centre, Jaroslav Halak fit the job description perfectly. Halak made 53 stops against the Washington Capitals to extend their first-round playoff series to an unlikely seventh game, sending La Belle Province into hysterics.
Despite being outshot 54-22, the Canadiens pulled out the 4-1 victory in front of a raucous sold-out crowd at the Bell Centre and, while hockey may be a team game, the Canadiens knew they pretty much had one man to thank.
"We got two early goals, we wanted to get the lead, and then (Halak) shut the door," said forward Brian Gionta. "It was him from that point on. And it wasn't just the amount of shots, he faced a lot of quality shots. He's unbelievable."
In the Habs' biggest game of the year thus far, Halak stonewalled Alexander Ovechkin and Co. - a team that put up a league-leading 318 goals in the regular season. If Halak was already considered the definitive No. 1 guy in Montreal, then shutting down the most potent offensive juggernaut in the National Hockey League was just the icing on the cake.
While 53 saves is no doubt an impressive feat, a little perspective never hurts.
Halak's performance was hardly a record-breaker. That mark of 53 saves is tied for 33rd for the most saves in a playoff game since 1983.
Furthermore, Halak's tally is only the tenth highest in a playoff game since the end of the NHL lockout.
Perhaps the most noteworthy item is that this was a Game 6 - and there is still more hockey to be played.
But considering the do-or-die stakes involved in this particular game and the perceived talent gap between the two teams heading into the series, the Slovak's performance is certainly worthy of note, particularly within the confines of the mythical netminding history of the Bleu, Blanc et Rouge.
If you haven't heard, the Canadiens have been known to have a few decent keepers between the pipes over the years. So where does this game rank in the fabled post-expansion history of Canadiens goaltenders?
It's up there, but is it the best?
In a 2-1 overtime win on Apr. 25, 1994, Patrick Roy made 60 saves against the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of their first-round series, the most ever by a Habs goalie in a postseason game. Even more impressive was that Roy was suffering from acute appendicitis and taking antibiotics that night.
Also noteworthy from Roy's resume was his performance in Game 3 of the Wales Conference Final against the New York Rangers in 1986. Roy stopped 13 shots in overtime against the Blueshirts before Claude Lemieux scored the winner on the Habs' first shot.
Then there's Jose Theodore, who stopped 56 shots against the New Jersey Devils in his NHL playoff debut at the tender age of 20 back on April 24, 1997. That mark of 56 stops had previously been set by one Ken Dryden back on May 4, 1971 in Chicago against the Blackhawks (a 2-1 loss in OT).
Keep in mind, this is a discussion about the greatest single-game playoff performances by Montreal Canadiens goaltenders. While Halak obviously has a lot of work to do to be compared with a Roy or a Dryden over the long-term, his display on Monday night certainly ranks in the vicinity of the best one-off playoff games by those two big names.
In Halak's case, it seems that - almost as a rule - he excels when he's tested often during a game. Over his career, Halak is 12-2-1 when facing 40 shots or more.
"Obviously it's great feeling, especially in the playoffs, winning a game like that," Halak said after the game. "No one even gave us a chance, but tonight we stuck to the game plan, we played hard and it paid off at the end. It feels great, but there's another game ahead of us and we have to get ready."
The magnitude of No. 41's dazzling display wasn't lost on his teammates.
"Huge saves," Gionta said. "Big, big time saves."
Nor did it go over the heads of the media.
"It has to be one of the better (performances) I've seen," said Pat Hickey, veteran Canadiens beat writer for the Montreal Gazette. "The fact is that it wasn't a Cup-winning performance, but it was a staving-off-elimination performance, keeping them alive. So it was probably in the top ten of the great goaltending performances in the playoffs."
As strange as it sounds, with Halak's best performances coming on busy nights, the team could be thinking about letting him see more shots again on Wednesday night and squeaking out another goalie-based victory.
On Monday, Ovechkin and his teammates were stumped all night (save for one tally in the third period), and No. 8 for the Caps seems to have picked up on a pattern in that department.
"We make goalies feel unbelievable," he said. "When we played Philadelphia (in 2008), (Martin) Biron was good. (Rangers goalie Henrik) Lundqvist was good last year. And this year we make Halak feel good.
"It's disappointing, but we'll find a way to break that and win. No panic. Nothing."
Considering the Habs were longshots at best heading into this series (the NHL on TSN panel called a Caps win in five games), they must be pretty enthused to be heading back to Washington deadlocked at three games apiece.
Of course, people likely won't remember an impressive performance in Game 6 unless that team goes on to win Game 7.
If the Canadiens go out and get cleaned 6-0 in the deciding match, Halak's most recent performance - while still impressive as a singular achievement - will have been for naught, and is less likely to go down in history as a memorable accomplishment.
"It depends on how far this team goes," said Hickey, who has covered the Habs for almost four decades. "If they lose (Wednesday) night, it will probably be forgotten pretty quickly.
"If they go far - if they get to the finals, for example - people will remember this game as the game that kept them alive and the turning point in the series."
If the Habs do manage to pull off the biggest upset of the postseason, it could be one of the most storied accomplishments in recent team history (despite the fact that it's only a first-round series). It's no minor achievement being a No. 8 seed knocking off a No. 1 (and a favourite to win the Stanley Cup at that).
The Habs have already transformed from potential first-round fodder into a team that has, at the very least, made this a compelling series. If they can close the deal on Wednesday night, it's a whole new game.

On July 10th, mosquitoes with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) were trapped in Voluntown, Connecticut, an area near to the Rhode Island border.
The finding was not only the first positive confirmation of EEE in Connecticut this year, but the earliest since their trapping program had started in 1997. The finding was announced yesterday, in which health officials established that the positive EEE result was from a Culiseta species that has been known to feed solely on birds.
Now the RI Department of Environmental Management and the RI department of Heath found are urging residents to be cautious and make sure to protect themselves against mosquito bites.
They are advising people to routinely use mosquito repellent and cover up when mosquito-biting activity is greatest. Since mosquito repellant should not be used on infants they also suggested placing mosquito netting over carriages and playpens outside, and to make sure the screens are in good condition.
"With this first positive isolation of EEE just across the Rhode Island border comes heightened alert that there are infected mosquitoes in the environment," noted Alan Gettman, PhD, DEM's mosquito abatement coordinator. "This is the time of the year for virus transmission, and the early finding means that there will be more weeks available for the virus to multiply in the environment. Therefore, all Rhode Islanders should take extra care to protect themselves, particularly when mosquito-biting activity is high."
