Sopogy and Due Dilligence: Panos Prevedouros
For quite a while it seemed that solar energy company Sopogy was everywhere, in print, on tv and radio and many pinned high hopes to what Sopogy said it could do.

Not enough revenue, too much debt, an old story...but one Panos Prevedouros says might have been avoided if better analysis had prevailed...his for instance.

Maui Onstage “Miracle Worker” Jessica Chernecki

And few inspirational real-life stories have been better adapted to the stage than hers, in the play “The Miracle Worker.” Keller’s heroism was matched by the woman who taught her – Annie Sullivan. That’s the role Jessica Chernicki is taking on in the new Maui OnStage production, and she joined us by phone this morning.
