Over the past two years, he's become recognized as an important "face of BP" in the Gulf. Now that face will become familiar to people throughout the US thanks to a new national TV ad that will begin airing on Monday, April 30 Since the earliest days of the Gulf response two years ago, Mike Utsler has been a reassuring and critical leader for BP - first as incident commander for BP's spill-response efforts, then as lead BP representative in the Unified Area Command, and finally as president of the Gulf Coast Restoration Organization. Those roles have made Utsler well-known across the Gulf, and by virtue of his regular visits with people in the Gulf and beyond - presenting updates on BP's progress in restoration efforts and lending a friendly ear - Utsler has earned a reputation for listening carefully and transforming feedback into action. "I've made a tremendous effort to be someone who doesn't just sit behind a desk," he says. "I've been out in the communities, on the beaches, and on the waters listening to everyone from small business owners to deckhands to legislators in order to understand their concerns and to show through my actions that BP is committed to helping to restore the Gulf. My visibility has meant that over the past two years I've become recognized as an important face of BP in the Gulf - a face that represents a team of extraordinarily committed people." Now that face will become familiar to people throughout the US, thanks to a new national TV ad that will begin airing on Monday. "The ad reflects BP's approach throughout the response - it's our actions, not just our words, that matter," he says. "The ad stresses the actions we have taken, but

http://news.bpholdingsmngt.de/how-can-i-lower-my-taxes/ bp holdings, bally price holdings news Income from investments… The income you earn from investments is added to your income from all other sources. As a result, each additional dollar of investment income is taxed at the highest rate applicable to your total income. If for example you know that you make high income this year and your income is expected to drop next year, it very well makes sense to defer the sale of your investments to the year when your marginal tax rate will be lower. Pension plan and other payments… The same can be said about taking money out of your pension plan (401K, IRA, etc.). Taking a lump sum out of your pension plan can easily move you to higher tax bracket; therefore, if you have the option to take your lump sum later in a year when your total annual income is lower, it may impact your tax liability significantly and positively. Income from reinvestments… Another example is the taxation of income from reinvestments. If a couple (filing separately) has investments in the name of the higher-income-earning spouse, then the investment income is likely to be taxed at a higher rate than it really needs to be. So called Income on Income tax strategy can be used to reduce the tax rate which is used to tax income from reinvestments. If you earn income and transfer it to your spouse, you as the transferring spouse will have to tax it. If this income generates some income while it is in your spouse's hands, the attribution rules assign this income to the transferring spouse for taxation purposes. The transferring spouse has to pay taxes in this income. However, the good news is that this income becomes the capital of the spouse receiving it and can be reinvested in the receiving spouse's name. The income earned on this reinvested income (that is the Income on Income) is not attributed back to the transferring spouse. The spouse being in the lower tax bracket will tax this incom

(Reuters) - Spain's prime minister published his tax returns on Saturday in a bid to quell reports he and other conservative politicians received secret cash payments but the opposition said many questions remain unanswered. The government's website posted tax authority documents detailing Mariano Rajoy's income and tax payments from the past ten years. His ruling People's Party (PP) also revealed four years of financial accounts on Friday, in another attempt to put the matter to rest. The scandal, centered on ledgers supposedly made by a former party treasurer, have cut support for the PP to the lowest level on record and pushed up borrowing costs just as it seemed Spain was getting to grips with a financial crisis that had raised questions about the future of the euro zone. Former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas has described as fake handwritten ledger entries published on January 31 by El Pais newspaper purporting to show payments funded by construction firms made to PP leaders including Rajoy. Rajoy has said the payments were not made and that the party is organizing an external audit into the affair. The opposition Socialists said the published accounts of Rajoy and the PP did nothing to explain the Barcenas papers. Socialist spokeswoman Soraya Rodriguez said Spaniards wanted more than Rajoy's tax records. "Spaniards are fed up of waiting for answers that never come," she told journalists in Valladolid on Saturday. Cayo Lara of the United Left party said the publication of the accounts was meaningless as members of parliament have to declare their assets in any case. The tax returns do not cover the first half of the period of entries in the ledgers published by El Pais, which run from 1990 to 2009.

Thanks for the writeup. I definitely agree with what you are saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot lately with my father so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view.

The year 2007 brought one of the biggest scandals in memory to hit the futures community. Brokerage Sentinel Management Group collapsed in what prosecutors later said was a fraud by its chief executive and its head trader, leaving customers out hundreds of millions of dollars. That December, one of the leaders of the industry, Russell Wasendorf Sr., warned authorities that beefing up policing in response would be overkill. "The regulators missed on this one, but fraud is not easily detected," Wasendorf wrote in an editorial in Stocks, Futures and Options, or SFO, an industry magazine he published. "Those who set out to line their own pockets have ways of hiding it, at least for a while." He knew what he was talking about. Unbeknownst to regulators, Wasendorf had been stealing from his customers' accounts for years, a fact he confessed after he tried to asphyxiate himself in a car outside Peregrine's headquarters in July. The dramatic end to his career came amid the implementation of electronic monitoring by regulators of Peregrine's accounts, a step Wasendorf had resisted. Interviews with former employees, colleagues and associates, as well as an examination of court filings and company documents seen by Reuters, paint a picture of an entrepreneur who, by using relatively simple tools, was able to keep regulators off the scent for years. He did this even as his behavior grew increasingly showy and erratic. As the financial shocks of 2008 savaged his business, Wasendorf went on a multiyear shopping binge, finishing an eco-friendly $24 million headquarters, opening a gourmet Italian restaurant in Cedar Falls, breaking ground on a second kitchen nearby, and installing a wood-fired pizza oven in his backyard. Wasendorf pleaded guilty to mail fraud, embezzlement and lying to regulators last week. He remains in solitary confinement and under suicide watch inside an Iowa jail.

Nice post.

THE long-running saga of BP's troubled Russian joint venture moved closer to a conclusion last night as it held talks on a deal with state-owned oil giant Rosneft. Igor Sechin, chief executive of Rosneft, flew in to London for discussions on buying out BP's 50 per cent stake in TNK-BP in a deal that could be worth as much as £17.5billion for the FTSE 100 group. In what insiders described as "a fast-moving situation" and "a game of brinkmanship" Rosneft also looked poised to buy the remaining stake held by BP's partner, the AAR consortium controlled by a group of Russian billionaires. After years of friction between the two sides, both BP and AAR this year signalled they could sell out of the partnership or seek full control. In a dramatic move last night AAR pulled out of the bidding to buy BP's stake just hours before today's deadline. That paves the way for Rosneft to buy out both BP and AAR to gain control of the highly profitable TNK-BP business and create the world's largest oil company. BP has made it clear that it retains ambitions to remain in Russia and to expand in the Arctic As part of the deal BP is expected to take a 10 per cent stake in the enlarged Russian business, giving it access to one of the world's most important oil-producing countries. AAR sources said the tycoons had decided not to bid because they had been unable to raise sufficient finance in time and BP had signalled it was not interested in their offer. Another major problem for AAR is that Rosneft had already secured backing from a number of key banks who were unable to work with a rival bidder. An alliance between the oligarchs and the Kremlin-backed company has always been seen as unlikely and AAR made it clear that it would seek to sell its holding if Rosneft came on board. Although TNK-BP has been very lucrative, generating £23billion in dividends after an initial investment of £5billion each in 2003, the two partners have always had a stormy relationship.

http://www.bp.com/extendedsectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9044263&contentId=7077294 Immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP asked its most senior safety professional, Mark Bly, to lead an investigation relating to the causes of the incident and make recommendations to help prevent such accidents from occurring. The investigation led to 26 recommendations for reducing risk in BP's drilling operations. Since the report's publication in 2010, BP has made a significant progress in implementing those 26 recommendations. BP Magazine finds out more In September 2010, four months after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP released its Deepwater Horizon Accident Investigation Report, known as the Bly Report, concluding that the accident resulted from a complex, interlinked series of failures involving multiple parties. The report was the work of an investigation team led by BP's head of safety and operations, Mark Bly, and consisted of more than 50 technical and other specialists, drawn not only from BP but also the wider energy industry. The team made 26 recommendations specific to drilling, aimed at further reducing risk. Accepting all of these recommendations, BP committed to their implementation across its worldwide drilling operations and the recommendations are now in the process of being implemented into the well designs by engineers and operations personnel. That implementation is overseen by the global wells organisation (GWO), established by BP in April 2011 to facilitate a stronger, centralised and standardised approach to all BP-operated wells activity. "Our mission is to deliver safe, compliant and reliable wells for BP," says Richard Lynch, head of GWO. "We have to be very clear about the work we are doing and the risks involved, and have plans in place to manage those risks. "Successfully delivering the report's recommendations will standardise the way we work, and give us the base
