FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Michelle Van Swearingen Communications Director (405) 270-4896 [email protected] 53RD ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS April 23-28 • Bicentennial Park The 2019 Festival of the Arts is right around the corner! Here are some fun things to look forward to this year. Featured Artist “Born in a Day” was created by Julie and Kevin Zuckerman to honor the great state of Oklahoma and legacy of the Native American population. The main image was inspired by the Great Eagle Feather and Olive Branch from the state flag. The background color represents the state wildflower, the Indian Blanket. The other vibrant colors honor the pride of the community such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Oklahoma City Dodgers, Oklahoma City Energy, etc. Finally, the symbolism of the painting is to be bright, be bold, and make a difference in your community. Festival Co-Chairs Susan Whittington and Randy Lewis The 2019 Festival Co-Chairs are available for media interviews upon request. A list of story ideas can be found in the 2019 Festival Media Kit, available by request from Arts Council OKC Communications Director Michelle Van Swearingen (contact info listed above).

Period end pricing most important for Full Cost (FC) companies as ceiling test charges based on those prices. This will change with new SEC rules as it goes to 12-month average. Although 3Q06 and 4Q06 were problematic on the natural gas price front, improved price by report date meant limited impairments in those quarters. Chart 1: Quarterly Closing Oil and Natural Gas Prices 2001-2008 - Price Plunge Expected to Affect Reserve Estimates and Impairments $160 $16 Oil -WTI $140 Natural Gas - HH $14 $120 $12 $100 $10 Natural gas price average $6.13/mcf $80 $8 North Slope $60 US Lower 48 $6 $40 $4 $20 Oil price average $53.26/bbl $2 $0 $0 1Q01 3Q01 1Q02 3Q02 1Q03 3Q03 1Q04 3Q04 1Q05 3Q05 1Q06 3Q06 1Q07 3Q07 1Q08 3Q08 Source: NYMEX, RiskMetrics analysis www.riskmetrics.com 3 Full Cost Ceiling Test Charge Risk Fulfilled Based on high capital spending during the first part of 2009 meant high risk of impairments for companies listed in Chart 2.

Apr 1964 - Border Incidents. - State of Emergency in Kenya North-Eastern Region. - Regional Elections. The continued unrest in the North-Eastern Region of Kenya and the activities of nomadic Somali bands of armed shiftas caused Mr. Kenyatta to call an urgent Cabinet meeting, also attended by Major-General Ian Freeland (G.O.C., British Land Forces, Kenya) and Mr. Richard Catling (Inspector-General of Police), at Gatundu on Dec. 25, 1963. After the meeting the Government proclaimed a state of emergency throughout the Region and set up a five-mile-deep prohibited zone along the Kenya-Somalia border, excluding the settlements of Mandera and El Wak. Although this was not known at the time of the Cabinet meeting, 50 armed Somali tribesmen had on that date raided the police post at Msabubu, near Galole on the River Tuna, one policeman, a policeman's wife, and a Pokomo tribesman helping the police being killed and four other policemen wounded: a number of Somalis were killed and injured. After this raid a delegation of anti-secessionists asked Mr. Kenyatta to be allowed to take the law into their own hands to deal with the raiding shifta gangs. Mr. T. P. Randle, the Region's Civil Secretary, reported that resentment against the raiders’ terrorism was growing. and that the chairman of the Northern Province People's Progressive Party—the main secessionist party—had withdrawn all support for the shiftas (whose leader was Ma’alim Mohamed Stamboul) and had promised to work for the party's objectives by constitutional means. -

Jornalista responsável: Anna Carolina Cortez Diagramação e tratamento: Fábio Vantini Direção de Arte - Big Blue Licenses - Monica Arruda e Carlos Ameni Impressão:Type Brasil INTRODUÇÃO Bad Boy, a primeira em lutas! A Bad Boy chegou ao Brasil em 1992 através de Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso, um casal de surfistas que possuía uma marca de surf, a ST COMP. A Bad Boy se tornou referência nacional. Patrocinou atletas e eventos, formou campeões e apoiou as lutas até mesmo quando os olhos da população estavam voltados para outras modalidades de esporte. E, no momento em que os holofotes se voltam para os ringues e mostram ao mundo um pouco mais sobre as artes marciais, a Bad Boy mostra que sempre esteve presente nos tatames, nos ringues e na vida dos atletas. Nas páginas a seguir apresentamos um pouco do que fez a Bad Boy se tornar a “Imagem da Vitória, a Marca do Guerreiro”. 1982 O INÍCIO A Bad Boy surgiu no início dos anos 80, em San Diego, Califórnia como uma marca local de surf, skate e motorsports, patrocinando atletas com personalidade forte e de atitude como o Havaiano Johnny Boy Gomes. Dez anos depois da criação da Bad Boy, dois novos personagens entraram em cena: Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso. Para promover a ST Comp, loja de surf da qual eram donos, eles realizavam campeonatos de surf no Brasil e viajavam para todos os cantos do mundo para fazer pesquisas de mercado. -
Corporate Governance Failings and Performance Enhancing Drugs
A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs Abstract In 2013, two well-known Australian sporting clubs – the Essendon Football Club (AFL) and the Cronulla Sharks Rugby League Club (NRL), were both investigated for performance enhancing drugs in their elite sports science programs. News of the initial investigations was met with disbelief by supporters, players, club administrators and the respective governing bodies – the AFL and the NRL. What followed was a period of intense and rigorous independent investigation by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the AFL and the NRL. In August and December 2013 respectively, severe sanctions were handed down to the Essendon Football Club and the Cronulla Sharks. This paper provides an overview of the background to the saga in each of the respective clubs. It provides a time-line of the events before, during and after the initial investigation by the independent bodies. The paper concludes by linking the events at the respective clubs, to short-comings in a number of important corporate governance practices. Keywords: accountability, corporate governance, international sports associations, crisis, performance enhancing drugs, National Rugby League (NRL), Australian Football League (AFL) 1 A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs 1. Introduction Financial stakes involved in professional sport can create powerful incentives for the use of performance enhancing substances (Rapp 2009). Much empirical evidence supports a strong link between on-field results and club revenues (e.g. Morrow 1999; Barajas, Fernandez- Jardon et al. 2005; Pinnuck and Potter 2006; Bernile and Lyandres 2011; Bell, Brooks et al. -

Larry Nichols Served As Devon’S CEO Since 1980 and Assumed the Company’S Chairmanship in 2000
Larry Nichols Served as Devon’s CEO since 1980 and assumed the company’s chairmanship in 2000. Chapter 1 – 1:24 Introduction Announcer: Devon Energy is a leading independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil. The company’s operations are concentrated in various North American onshore areas that extend from the Canadian Arctic to the Gulf Coast in the United States. But let’s go back to the beginning. John Nichols, the father of Larry Nichols, went to work as a public accountant in Oklahoma City in 1936. The tax knowledge he gained while working for several oil and gas companies helped him create the world’s first oil and gas drilling fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It changed the way drilling programs were funded in this country until Congress restructured tax laws in 1986. In 1971, father and son co-founded Devon Energy and Larry Nichols assumed the company’s chairmanship in 2000. Prior to Devon Energy, Larry served as a law clerk to both Associate Justice Tom Clark and Chief Justice Earl Warren of the Unites States Supreme Court. Devon is the only U.S. energy company to be listed among the Fortune 500, the Fortune World’s Most Admired Companies and the Fortune 100 Best Companies to work for. And it all started with four and a half employees and a shared receptionist. Larry Nichols tells the story for Voices of Oklahoma made possible by those who believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time on VoicesofOklahoma.com.
