Body encased in concrete identified as Fla. man

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) ? Authorities on Friday identified the body of a man who was found entombed in concrete in the backyard of a northeast Georgia home.

The man has been identified as Sean Dugas, 30, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation medical examiner's office. The body was found Monday encased in a plastic storage container filled with concrete.

Authorities this week charged twin brothers Christopher and William Cormier, 31, with murder in the death of Dugas, a former newspaper reporter in Pensacola, Fla. The Cormier brothers are also charged with concealing death.

"It's a little hard to wrap your head around it," said Kris Wernowsky, who worked at the Pensacola News Journal, where he sat next to Dugas for about three years. "I've worked there for so many years and covered many things in Florida. You never would have thought you would go to a website and click on a story about someone you know. ... It's heartbreaking."

Dugas' dreadlocks and bushy long beard helped him stand out easily in the Pensacola area on the Florida Panhandle, Wernowsky said. Dugas had covered a wide variety of topics, including breaking news and entertainment, the newspaper said on its website.

Dugas worked for the News Journal from 2005 to 2010, rising from a clerk to a police reporter.

"He was a good breaking-news reporter," Wernowsky said. "He was the type of guy who was eager and loved his job. I rarely heard about him complaining about anything."

Winder, Ga., police officer Chris Cooper said this week that medical examiners declared the death a homicide based on the number and location of the man's injuries. The autopsy revealed that the man died of blunt force trauma to the head about a month ago.

Georgia authorities on Monday arrested the twins at a home in Winder that was being rented by their father. Winder is a small city located about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta.

Police said Dugas had been reported missing and was last heard from on Aug. 27, when he made plans to have lunch with a friend the next day.

When the friend went to pick him up for the meal, he wasn't home. After trying unsuccessfully for days to reach Dugas, the friend went back to his house on Sept. 7 to find it empty. Neighbors told her a U-Haul truck had been there Sept. 3 and they saw at least one man removing things.

That man told the neighbors that Dugas had been beaten and was going to live with him, police said.

The female friend continued to try to reach Dugas before calling police on Sept. 13.

Based on information provided by Pensacola, Fla., investigators, Winder police found the body at the Georgia home being rented by the Cormier twins' father, who told police his sons had arrived from Florida about three weeks earlier. They told him they were supposed to take care of their missing friend's dog. However, they supposedly claimed they'd ended up killing the dog and burying it in their father's backyard, police said.

"There is so much that is not known," Wernowsky said. "There are so many empty spaces for a lot of us. I didn't know any of his family, and I feel sorry for their loss. What a horrible way to end your life."

Innovation Excellence | The Music of Business

The Music of BusinessWe recently did one of our masterclasses on business excellence mixed with music for the BBC and Bloomberg TV, featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Ian Gillan?s guitar player. ?Check the Bloomberg piece out below:

As part of the masterclass, the media people wanted a number of business lessons from music summed up in one sentence. ? Something of a challenge given that I spend a lot of my life teaching MBA?s where length is generally considered to be more important! ? Anyway, we aim to satisfy so here are top 10 business / music tips on Relationships, Motivation, Strategy, Creativity, Leadership and Marketing. ?There is much more on the parallel lessons for leaders and creative people in the books?Sex, leadership and Rock?n'Roll and?Punk Rock People Management.

1. Bad Romance?-?Lady Gaga ? If you?re having trouble in a work relationship, change what you?re doing, rather than banging your head against the same wall.

2. Like a Virgin -?Madonna ? To succeed in business, treat each day like its the first time.

3. Knowing me knowing you -?Abba ? If you want to serve someone really well, find out their wants, needs, whims, foibles, fancies, fantasies, fanaticisms and ensure what you are offering touches the parts that others?cannot or?dare not reach.

4. Reasons to be cheerful -?Ian Dury ??Reasons to be cheerful at work include: being listened to;?doing things that count; understanding why they matter; being part?of something; not having to do pointless tasks; getting meaningful?feedback on what you do and so on.

5. Who killed Bambi? -?Sex Pistols ??Separate conflict over work from conflict over personalities. You can?have a good bun fight over a project, but once things are settled,?move on and don?t harbour grudges towards the people.

6. I can?t control myself ? The Troggs ? Creativity without discipline rarely leads to innovation.

7. What do I get? ? The Buzzcocks ??Pay people well enough, but don?t just focus on pay as the reward for?work. This reinforces the conversation about ?What do I get??

8. Walk on the wild side -?Lou Reed ? Encourage mavericks, madonnas and the odd primadonna at work if you want new things to happen.

9. Sexy MF?? Prince ? Style always wins over substance. ?Once you have got your product sorted, go for style every time.

10. I still haven?t found what I?m looking for ? U2 ? Business needs constant learning and reconnaissance. ?If you stop looking and learning, just like Kodak, you may disappear from view.

Coming soon, a new book and app called?The Music of Business. ?Contact me here for details.

To finish here?s a clip of some of the coverage from BBC TV featuring the motley crew of Dolly Parton, The Clash, Lou Reed and Ian Dury:

    BP to export US crude to Canada, Shell seeks permit

    NEW YORK/HOUSTON (Reuters) - Oil major BP Plc has secured U.S. government permission to ship U.S. crude oil to Canada, and Royal Dutch Shell has applied for an export license, as rising production in the world's top oil consumer upends global energy flows.

    A surge in output from shale oil reserves in the Bakken of North Dakota and Eagle Ford of Texas has raised U.S. domestic production to the highest level since 1995, light, sweet crude that could fetch better prices on international markets. The United States still imports more than 8 million barrels per day, making it the world's biggest importer.

    BP Plc received a crude export license this summer from the Bureau of Industry and Security, a branch of the US Commerce Department, to ship crude oil to Canada, a source familiar with the issue said on Thursday. BP has yet to export any crude oil on that license, the source said.

    "We have applied to the Department of Commerce to export domestic U.S. crude oil," Shell spokeswoman Kayla Macke told Reuters, adding that as a global commodity, imports and exports would follow supply and demand.

    Macke declined to comment on the likely export destinations or the volumes of crude involved.

    A nearly century-old U.S. law requires companies to get a special license to export crude oil. Until recently, there has been no demand for overseas shipments, apart from a trickle of crude from Alaska that has been routinely exported.

    The Financial Times first reported the news, saying Swiss-based trading firm Vitol applied for a license, citing people familiar with the matter.

    "Other than routine movement between Canada and the United States, we have not been involved in any crude oil export requests," a Vitol spokesman said.

    Experts say some U.S. crude oil has routinely moved through Canada or has been refined over the border, but must be reimported to the United States.

    The FT said the Department of Commerce refused to confirm or deny the existence of license applications or licenses, but quoted the DOC as saying exports to Canada had a "presumption of approval".

    But domestic U.S. refiners, especially on the Gulf Coast, were built to process cheaper, heavier types of crude from Mexico or Saudi Arabia, and are often ill-suited for refining the lighter crudes and natural gas liquids created by the U.S. boom in hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking'.
