Salzburg is split into 24 districts and three urban population areas with the historic center of the city listed as a UNESCO heritage site. The proximity to the Alps, coupled with a range of well-preserved historical architectural styles make for a beautiful backdrop to life in Austria. Salzburg's strong economy and robust job market is an attractive prospect for expats. Main industries include mechanical, engineering, and electronics and the city is also a hub for automobile companies. Tourism is a significant contributor to Salzburg's economy, including associated industries, from hospitality to tour operators. Expats from outside the EU will need to satisfy a short list of conditions to obtain a work permit, including a skills assessment and language test. As the birthplace of Mozart, there is an abundance of cultural experiences to enjoy, including numerous castles and palaces to explore, the memorable Marionette Theater and a range of museums and art galleries. The Red Bull Hangar, a striking building housing over 25 historical planes and helicopters as well as restaurants and bars, is a surprising addition to this historic center. And with bike tours, parasailing, numerous parks and nearby ski resorts, Salzburg also provides everything you need for an active Austrian lifestyle.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities across the globe. Get to know fellow internationals in your city, before you're moving, or when traveling somewhere and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world.

Arrows. These perform an important task on racing cars. Some decals are there for safety reasons, while others are simply there to help crew members access clasps or openings quicker during the heat of the moment. I often choose to focus on these graphic details when shooting in the pit-lane as I find them very aesthetic in their functional way.

DOVER — The Planning Department held its first of two charrettes on Saturday, where feedback was sought from the public, which will be used to draft zoning amendments.
The charrette, also known as a brainstorming session, was held at the McConnell Center, for Dover residents and business and property owners to provide feedback in the planning of the community.
The Planning Department is looking to see if zoning adjustments or expansions will help improve the gateways into downtown.
"Typically, a community will look for public input at the end stage, but we try to encourage participation early on and the design sessions are a great way to do that," Director of Planning and Community Development Christopher Parker said. "Along with the survey and typical interactions, we wanted to have the design sessions geared toward the public giving us feedback and not the consultant telling the public what has been completed."
Parker said about 30 people attended the first session on Saturday, providing useful comments.
"There was good feedback about transportation concerns, pedestrian safety and the need to look at diversifying uses along Central Avenue, but limiting new commercial uses on Sixth Street and portions of Silver Street," he said. "A lot of discussion surrounded safety on Portland Avenue and Sixth Street."
There was additional discussion about the lack of separate sidewalks on Broadway, according to Parker, and positive support for the idea of creating gateways.
He also said some people were in support of brick sidewalks.
During the charrette, Parker said the department took notes, which will be used to design the concept plans. The notes will be available online for the public to view and the concepts will eventually be scanned and placed online as well.
An additional survey will also be posted once the concept plan is online so the public can continue to provide feedback.
The second charrette will be held this Saturday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. at the McConnell Center.
"The (following) step is for the consultant to take the design sessions' feedback as well as the survey feedback and over the spring and summer they will draft zoning amendments from it," Parker said. "The results of that draft will be reviewed by staff, and presented to the Planning Board in the fall or winter."
A Planning Board review will occur in June 2014, where proposals will be voted on.

Most of us grew up believing that gravity is just the mass of two objects attracting each other. We probably still think that, really, since who spends their time reading up on gravity? Well, that's WRONG.
Our old friend MinutePhysics explains that gravity is actually based on energy and momentum, which means even light has gravity (yeah yeah, extra credit if you already knew that). So basically: Suck it, Newton.
And also? All of your word problems in sixth grade math class were wrong, because they didn't account for the curvature of the Earth. [MinutePhysics]

My research interests concern multiple aspects at the interface of quantum theory and gravitational physics and in the foundations of quantum physics:
(1) One of my focuses is a novel reconstruction of quantum theory from information inference principles and operational arguments which solely concern the relation between an observer and an observed system. (For a brief blog report, see http://ilqgs.blogspot.nl/2014/11/quantum-theory-from-information.html.)
(2) A current project analyzes the surprisingly deep relation between elementary space-time structure and the possibility of certain abstract quantum communication tasks for observers contained in it.
(3) Discretization changing dynamics features generically in discrete gravity models underlying various approaches to quantum gravity. But a temporally varying discretization also arises in field theory on an evolving lattice. The discretization changing dynamics constitutes canonical coarse graining or refining operations on the discrete system. Recent work of mine develops a consistent classical and quantum formalism for such scenarios. It clarifies the notion of Dirac observables, symmetries, unitarity and symplecticity on such dynamical discretizations.
4) One of my research interests also concerns the notion of observables in gravitational theories. In a recent project I analyzed together with Bianca Dittrich, Tim Koslowski and Mike Nelson what the impact of chaos or non-integrability is on gravitational observables and what the consequences are for quantization. The repercussions are surprisingly strong, implying that standard methods of quantization -- if at all -- yield sick quantum theories.
Together with Ryszard Kostecki and Markus Müller I was organizing the conference "Information theoretic foundations for physics" at Perimeter from May 11-15 2015. For more information see http://perimeterinstitute.ca/conferences/information-theoretic-foundations-physics

Start of the Homestand
The Royals will look to have different results with this 10 game homestand. The first homestand of the season ended with a miserable record of 0-10. If the Royals would have avoided the major skid, the teams record would be over .500. The team starts the homestand with a 3 game series against the division leading Chicago White Sox. In game one Bruce Chen continued in his slump that is destroying his ERA. Before the month of July, Bruce's ERA was 4.5 and after his last three starts it jumped to 5.5. Luis Mendoza now leads the starting rotation with a 4.5 ERA.
The Roylas lost 9-8 in the first game of the series against the White Sox. In the gameBruce Chen struggled to get through 4.2 innings. Chen gave up 3 runs in the first innings and could not find his control walking three hitters. Chen totalled 110 pitches in the short start. Hitters seemed to comfortable in the batters box. Lorenzo Cain was the bright spot in the game. In his debut, Cain went 3-6 with a double and a RBI. Having Lorenzo Cain back in the lineup will add a major boost to the productivity. Mike Moustakas homered in the second inning off of Quintana.
Alcides Escobar was the clear MVP of the second game. Escobar clubbed two homeruns, his 4th of the year. This was Escobar's first multi homer game of his career. The Royals shortstop now leads the majors for shortstops in batting average and OPS with .311 and .791. Along with Escobar, Chris Getz went 2-3 with a double. Francoeur, Moustakas, and Butler each added 2 hits. Luke Hochaver pitched a solid 5 innings giving up 3 runs. Greg Holland was the winning pitcher with Jonathan Broxton notching his 22 save. Crow and Mijares also got work in the game combining for 1.2 innings.
The Royals will be facing dominate Chris Sale in the third and final game of the series. Sale has been lights out with a record of 10-2 and a 2.19 ERA. Sale, an All Star, pitched 5 innings giving up 3 runs against the Royals on May 12. The Royals gave Sale his second loss of the season. Ned Yost and the Royals will be led by Luis Mendoza. Mendoza faced the White Sox last on May 13 and gave up 1 run in 5.2 innings of work. He recorded his second win of the season that game. Mendoza is currently 3-5 with a 4.5 ERA.

Starting on inlines - wheel choice
Hello, I have a pair of Seba Trix 90 inlines on the way, but have a quick question regarding wheel size. I'm switching from quads to inlines for the purpose of long crosstraining sessions, and know I'll need to learn how to stop safely as well as just generally get used to inlines, since they'll be very different beasts to what I have been skating.
They'll come with 90mm wheels of course, but I am pondering whether it's worth grabbing an 84mm set for practising on until I feel more confident? My thoughts are that they'll be slower and easier to turn than a larger wheel, so could help me to learn powerslides and to generally pick up my game. I know the difference won't be much, but would it still help a little, or just not really be worth trying?
Also, whilst I'm here, any wheel recommendations? I suspect that the more suitable durometer ratings for various conditions & surfaces are different for inlines than they are for quads, so would appreciate any thoughts. I'm a light-framed light-weight female and know this often affected the type of wheels I'd buy for my quads..

I wouldn't bother. The Trix2 boots are high enough and supportive enough that you probably won't feel much difference between 84mm height and 90mm height. In general, the higher and more supportive the boot, the less you'll notice wheel size differences.
If your Trix2 90 are like mine, they probably came with 90mm/82A wheels. I found these wheels to be very slow, and to wear fast. Probably good for a beginner, but I ditched them quickly. They will probably be difficult to powerslide with, though, due to the low durometer. I prefer something more around 85A/86A for purposes of speed and not having to rotate the wheels so danged often. I will admit the 82A wheels were more forgiving of surface imperfections though. And you may not have as much of a problem with them as I did - I've got probably 50kg on you.
In short, I'd suggest just sticking with the 90mm/82A wheels that come with it for a while, just to get used to the skates, then grab some 90mm/85A wheels when those are worn out (or if you're tired of the low speed). These will probably be easier to powerslide, too.

Thanks a ton, TZ! I had figured the low durometer would make the sliding difficult, but I can get used to T-stops on these wheels at least and happily wear them down. Great to know there's not much difference in how those diameters will feel, I can stop pondering this now and just research decent 90mm wheels!

Check out the Undercover wheels by Matter, they make a great inline wheel for indoor/outdoor skating, the 90mm is styled with a chameleon
Or there's the iconic Rollerblade Hydrogen 90mm
Big wheels are fun, I skate the 100mm version of both of these on my Wizard frame ;]

Switch from T Stops to Spin Stops/Plow Stops
Hi You already got a great first answer.
T's mean you will continually have to rotate your wheels since it will wear down the one edge of only the one skate. A Plow and a Spin, or a Swizzle(forget the name for a solam type) and then Spin stop will do better.
I did use the T sometimes, yet by then I was going slow.

As for Aaryn's eviction, I kind of felt weird and upset for her being grilled by Julie when she went out for her exit interview. If she was evicted 6 weeks ago, I would have loved it. But she seemed she completely changed and that view kind of went away, and I actually liked her. But you can't take back those words.
Hopefully Amanda goes home this week. The house will be 10Xs better.
I think the thing that bothered me the most about Aaryn's confrontation was the jagoffs who where laughing through most of it. She said she loves, Andy, Candice, and Helen, and people just laughed. What?! What's so funny about that? She's shown way more instances of affection than hate towards Andy and Helen.
Agree, I cringed at that as well. She was being sincere, and they just laughed at her.

The administration of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday gave the Philippines 72 hours to arrest those responsible for the death of a Taiwanese fisherman, issue a formal apology and compensate the victim's family.
If Manila failed to respond to these demands within 72 hours, the government will freeze Philippine worker applications, recall the Republic of China (ROC) representative in Manila and ask the Philippine representative to return to Manila to help in the investigation, Presidential Office spokesperson Lee Chia-fei (李佳霏) told a news conference last night following a national security meeting presided over by Ma.
The 72-hour deadline started from "12am on May 12," Lee said.
The meeting, attended by top officials including Minister of Foreign Affairs David Lin (林永樂) and Minister of National Defense Kao Hua-chu (高華柱), lasted about two hours from 7pm to 9pm in the Presidential Office.
The incident took place on Thursday, when a Philippine Coast Guard vessel opened fire on the Pingtung-based fishing boat Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28 in waters 164 nautical miles (304km) southeast of Taiwan's southernmost tip, killing 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-cheng (洪石成).
The boat was fishing in waters in which the exclusive economic zones of Taiwan and the Philippines overlap.
"The Philippine government's attitude is outrageous and unacceptable," Ma said earlier yesterday while inspecting a coastguard drill at Taichung Harbor.
He also instructed the Coast Guard Administration to dispatch ships to the exclusive economic zone and increase patrols over territorial waters to protect Taiwanese fishermen.
"The Philippines shot at an unarmed fishing boat. This violates international safety regulations. Firing 40 to 50 shots at the boat is brutal and cold-blooded," the president said.
The Ma administration has come under pressure from the public and lawmakers across party lines to take a tougher stand on the incident.
Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) yesterday also urged the Ma administration to initiate action against Manila, such as suspending all exchanges with the Philippines and banning the recruitment of Filipino workers.
He also proposed sending naval ships and extending their patrol scope beyond the exclusive economic zone to better protect Taiwanese fishermen.
"Only by doing this can we better protect our fishermen's rights and defend our national dignity. We should take a hardline approach in handling this incident," he said at Taipei City Hall.
Hau added that the Taipei City Government would retract its invitation to the Philippines to attend the Dragon Boat Festival next month.
"The Taipei City Government stands behind Taiwanese fishermen. Unless the Philippine government brings the killers to justice and compensates [the victim's family], we will stop inviting the [Philippines'] dragon boat team to this year's festival," he said.
Taipei will also suspend all exchanges with Manila and Quezon City — both sister cities of Taipei — as well as the city government's plan to donate two ambulances to the Philippines.
The Philippines has sent dragon boat teams to compete in the city's annual dragon boat race for the past two years. Taipei City's Department of Sports said it would cancel this year's invitation tomorrow.
New Taipei City (新北市) Mayor Eric Chu (朱立倫) also condemned the shooting and said that the city would suspend exchanges with Manila until the Philippine government offers an apology, compensate the victim's family and apprehends the perpetrators.

MrJMassey necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 121 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I am an entrepreneur, husband, father, disciple of Christ, direct sales coach, public speaker, and real estate investor. Be sure to look at http://www.MrJMassey.com. I am serious when it comes to faith, family, and business, but I like to have fun. I do not naturally like to wear suits, and value freedom highly. I started my real estate investing career AFTER going through a personal foreclosure, and many other trials. Therefore, I accept no excuses and only performance. I'm looking to convey likable, trustworthy, and respect at the same time. Not sure if this helps, but I am avid Apple Computer fan and user.
Please show me the logos on stationery, envelopes, business cards, favicon, and the small icon as a bookmarked page and as used on a blog banner. Yes, I do real estate but that doesn't mean the logo has to have something real estate related. I'm also a public speaker and direct sales coach, father, husband, and the additional qualities of being those things are part of my USP.
Some of the main themes to be communicated are:
A prosperous future
and personal growth
My audience are those looking for personal development, real estate investing education, rental and/or investment property, or even those looking to purchase notes. I work in multiple states and I have worked mostly with individuals who have a retirement plan and have helped them purchase real estate or do a real estate deal in their retirement plan. So I've worked a lot with the first time or novice investors. They are usually later 20s and up in age, and have an eye on their future or building wealth. I would have an similar audience as Jeff Adams, Robert Allen, Dani Johnson, and Anthony Robbins.
The most important note about this audience is to understand the vision of TheCashFlowDiary.com. This website will be a blog ultimately contributed to by many authors all of whom have one thing in common. They practice what they preach and they are willing to prove it by posting their monthly cashflow from their passive investments like real estate, notes, apartments, dividend paying stocks, royalties, licensing, franchising, etc. To me this means my audience will be opportunity seekers and also those in the process of making it happen for themselves and looking for a place of working wisdom.
This Logo is to represent my vision and passiong for creating a lifestyle where the amount of money earned is inversely proportional to the amount of hours worked. And I'm hoping to finally land on something that will become the center of everything. This Logo will eventually be used on my blog, twitter, facebook, etc...
I like sharp, but not gaudy.
I like modern, but not abstract.
I like color, and it should grab an emotion.
I'm also definetly looking for something that incorporates a symbol or graphic that can become synonymous with the brand. Like Apple has the Apple, Nike has the Swoosh, I'd like either the name or the logo to be able to stand alone and together.
It has to look good and well defined in black in white or color.
Please feel free to experiment with colors, typestyle, juxstaposition!
The files we will require are:
Print and Web/Online
Email template
Twitter Background
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
Additionally if you look at http://MrJMassey.com you will notice a darker color scheme. I'm looking for the colors that communicate possibility, overcoming adversity, perserverance, integrity, character, faith, hope, determination, victory, humility, and abundance.
Please also be aware that this logo will be used on a wordpress template shown here: http://www.studiopress.com/demo/news.html
I am looking for a lighter color scheme and something that could make a good favicon, logo on a hat or t-shirt as well.
Please be aware that I am only asking for a logo for the blog. At most I am expecting to be able to use it as a logo online and as a favicon. I mentioned the other design places (twitter, stationary, etc) because I want the logo to also look good in those mediums when the time comes.

'Junk' Bond Yields Break Through 6% Barrier
Investors' chase for yields has given "junk" bonds a record-breaking start to 2013.
The average yield on bonds rated below investment grade broke through the 6% barrier for the first time ever this week, falling to 5.90% on Thursday. Twelve months ago, average junk yields were 8.70%, according to a benchmark index from Barclays PLC.
After Congress and the White House resolved their budget stalemate Tuesday, bond investors chased after riskier investments and fled safe havens in search of higher yields. An index of U.S. Treasurys lost 0.62% in the first two trading days of the year, while junk bonds gained 0.64%.
But with yields at unprecedented lows, junk bonds are less enticing than they ever have been. And, unlike stocks, where prices theoretically can rise forever, junk-bond prices are generally subject to a ceiling because borrowers usually can repurchase their bonds at slightly above face value. Investors holding overvalued bonds thus would lose money, which helps keep prices in check.
"There's a built-in brake, so to speak, to keep them anchored," said Eric Gross, credit strategist at Barclays.

LAS VEGAS -- Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr's senior season has lived up to almost every expectation imaginable, with a Mountain West Conference championship and an FBS-leading 4,866 passing yards and 48 touchdowns passes coming into Saturday's game against USC in the Las Vegas Bowl.
USC wide receiver Marqise Lee's junior season has been anything but what was imagined coming into the year, hampered by injuries and delivering several less-than-stellar showings when he has been on the field.
Both Lee and Carr are regarded as top prospects in the 2014 NFL Draft, and Saturday, they each had one more chance this season to showcase their skills in Vegas. Looking healthy for the first time all year, Lee had one of his best games in his disappointing junior season. Carr, on the other hand, was undone all afternoon by constant USC pressure, in a performance that will not dissuade questions about how the senior might translate to the NFL.
College Football 24/7 did a quarter-by-quarter analysis of the top senior quarterback and standout wide receiver. Here's a look at how the two fared:
First quarter
Lee notched only his third touchdown catch of the season, using a simple 10-yard square-in to get behind the Bulldogs defense. Lee had three receptions for 19 yards, took a carry off a fly sweep for six yards, and delivered some physical downfield blocking in the run game. With Fresno State's insistence on playing single coverage on Lee, it feels like only a matter of time before he rips off a trademark big play.
For Carr, he got off to a solid start by hitting Isaiah Burse on a slant for an 8-yard score. Carr also showed great recognition by identifying running back Marteze Waller had free space up the middle against an overload USC blitz and dumping the ball off for a 19-yard catch-and-run.
But Carr seemingly jammed his left shoulder bracing a fall late in the quarter, which will be worth monitoring the rest of the way.
NFL Media Analyst Daniel Jeremiah said the quick-hitting nature of the Fresno State offense, intended to slow down the strong USC pass rush, made it difficult to get a good feel on Carr.
Second quarter
Lee has never looked better this season, Carr has never looked worse.
Lee matched his output from the entire 13-game game regular season with his second touchdown catch of the first half, taking a crossing route and slicing through the Fresno State defense for 40 yards. The play showed the kind of burst and fluidity that a series of injuries sapped from the electric junior.
The only question left is whether Lee can rack up the eight catches necessary to pass Robert Woods for the USC career receptions record before taking a seat in this romp.
Carr, too, might be going to the bench early, but it won't be in celebration. Carr looked absolutely rattled by the USC pass rush, missing two sure-fire touchdown passes to Davante Adams with atrocious overthrows, caused mainly because he could not set his feet.
Finishing the half averaging a brutal 3.9 yards per pass attempt, the performance seems to be vindicating the executive that told NFL.com reporter Albert Breer that said Carr was not a first-round pick.
Third quarter
Just when it looked like Carr and Fresno State had a glimmer of hope of making a game of it, USC cornerback Josh Shaw intercepted a pass in the end zone to end the quarter.
Carr was 8 of 16 in the quarter for 75 yards with one touchdown, but he continued to fail to hit any of the big plays necessary to offset the relentless USC defensive line, which has snuffed out several drives.
Lee appeared to favor his leg at one stretch, but returned to action and is now nearing his third 100-yard game of the season.
Fourth quarter
It wasn't his signature performance -- that would be the upset win at Oregon in 2011 -- but Lee capped his best effort of a disappointing third year with a 36-yard catch that salted the game away. The Trojans dominated from start to finish, winning 45-20.
Lee finished with seven catches and a season-high 118 receiving yards and caught two of Cody Kessler's four touchdown passes, giving himself some much-needed momentum if he is to declare for the draft as expected.
Carr, on the other hand, has work to do.
Throwing for 217 yards, his second-lowest total of the season, Carr showcased erratic accuracy and shaky footwork in completing only 29 of 54 passes with two touchdowns and one interception. He will need a strong showing at the Senior Bowl to restore his standing as a potential first-round selection.

Barack and Michelle Obamawere the first to get confirmation Mariah Carey was expecting twins. Now the secret's out on what their sex will be.
The "Honey" singer and her hubby Nick Cannon made the entertainment news rounds Tuesday to confirm they're expecting a son and daughter.
"Even before we announced it was twins, I was trying to keep everything genderneutral because I didn't want to impose an identity on them too soon," Carey told Life & Style after a family friend leaked the couple's big news to the tabloid.
Carey added fans had thrown "contests on Twitter" betting that she and Cannon would have two boys or two girls.
"But nobody guessed this," she said.
Cannon said Tuesday his wife's pregnancy cravings had her "cooking up a storm" of late.
"She doesn't eat," he told Access Hollywood. "She cooks all this food and her cravings go away and she makes me eat it, so I'm gaining all the weight."
The "America's Got Talent" host can expect his diet to stabilize around late April or early May. That's when Carey is due, according to E! News.

New Dole Financial and Business Update
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California – February 22, 2013
Dole Food Company, Inc. (NYSE: DOLE) announced today that the previously announced sale of its worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses to ITOCHU Corporation for $1.685 billion in cash, will be completed on April 1, 2013. Dole and ITOCHU have agreed to this firm fixed closing date at ITOCHU's request, and have extended the term of the definitive acquisition agreement signed by the parties on September 17, 2012, to the April 1 date. ITOCHU today paid Dole a non-refundable cash deposit of $200 million to be applied toward the purchase price, and the parties agreed that, with limited exceptions, the deposit will be forfeited and retained by Dole if the closing does not occur by April 1, 2013. Dole intends to use the $200 million in cash to temporarily repay revolver borrowings, certain transaction related expenses, and general corporate purposes.
"The consummation of the sale on April 1st will complete this transformative transaction for Dole, resulting in a major percentage of Dole's operations being sold to ITOCHU. The new Dole will have a smaller footprint as a commodity produce company with overall revenue in the $4.2 billion range with two lines of business: fresh fruit and fresh vegetables," said David H. Murdock, Dole's Chairman. "ITOCHU will have exclusive rights to the Dole® trademark on packaged food products worldwide and on fresh produce in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We will remain an industry leader in the sourcing, distribution and marketing of bananas, pineapples and other tropical fruits, packaged salads, fresh-packed vegetables and fresh berries."
As part of the extension agreement, David A. DeLorenzo, current President and Chief Executive Officer of Dole, will immediately assume a full-time position leading the management team of the businesses being acquired by ITOCHU through the closing date, after which he will join ITOCHU as the senior management of these businesses. Mr. DeLorenzo has stepped down from his roles as President and Chief Executive Officer of Dole, but will remain on Dole's Board of Directors following completion of the sale transaction. In addition, as previously announced, Joseph S. Tesoriero has stepped down from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. DeLorenzo and Mr. Tesoriero will remain employees of Dole through the closing of the sale to ITOCHU.
As part of the previously announced leadership changes in connection with the sale transaction, Mr. Murdock has returned to the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and C. Michael Carter has assumed the added role of President and Chief Operating Officer, with all operating and corporate functions reporting to him. In addition, Dole's Board increased its size to nine, and Mr. Carter and E. Rolland Dickson, M.D. have rejoined the board. Dr. Dickson previously was a professor of medicine at the Mayo Medical School and director of development at the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. Dr. Dickson is internationally recognized for his leadership in the fields of liver disease and liver transplantation, and has served as a director of Poniard Pharmaceuticals, Axcan Pharma Inc., and Pathway Corp.
In addition, Keith C. Mitchell, current chief financial officer of Dole's North American Fresh Fruit business, has become Chief Financial Officer; A. Charlene Mims, currently responsible for benefits and payroll, will lead Human Resources; both Beth Potillo, current Treasurer, and Yoon J. Hugh, current Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, have become Senior Vice Presidents with added responsibilities; and Genevieve M. Kelly, current Vice President, Associate General Counsel & Assistant Secretary, as well as division general counsel for the fresh fruit business, has become Deputy General Counsel.
On January 24, 2013, Dole announced fiscal year 2012 results for the two lines of fresh produce business that will remain with the new Dole following the consummation of the sale transaction. Fresh fruit performance is continuing its declining trend, principally due to banana market conditions, and Dole expects that 2013 Adjusted EBITDA for these businesses will be at the low end of the previously announced guidance range of $150 - $170 million, with income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, in the $45 - $60 million range, assuming no major market changes. Dole expects to timely file its annual report on Form 10-K by March 14, 2013, if not sooner, including its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2012. At that time, Dole expects to issue an earnings release and will host a conference call with investors.
In light of the current competitive fresh produce market conditions, Dole has assessed its ongoing capital requirements and possible near-term funding resources for the new Dole, including Dole's Hawaii land holdings, and is actively marketing the approximately 21,800 acres of land that it is not currently farming in Hawaii on the Island of Oahu. Dole is seeking to sell as much of this land as it possibly can each year, expecting that it will take a few years to sell such a large quantity of farm land. Targeted proceeds are in the $175 – $200 million range, which would exceed current book value. Potential proceeds may be used to invest in both increasing the number of fresh fruit farms owned and operated by the new Dole and in updating Dole's owned vessel fleet.
Dole has provided earnings guidance to give investors general information on the overall direction of its remaining businesses following the sale transaction. The guidance provided is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the timing and ultimate consummation of the sale transaction, overall economic and capital-market conditions and the markets for fresh fruits and vegetables. Dole does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update its forward-looking statements, including projections and future prospects.
This release contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward- looking statements, which are based on management's current expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates" and similar expressions. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein include the timing and whether the sale transaction is consummated, weather-related phenomena; market responses to industry volume pressures; product and raw materials supplies and pricing; energy supply and pricing; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; economic crises and security risks in developing countries; international conflict; and quotas, tariffs and other governmental actions. Further information on the factors that could affect Dole's financial results is included in its filings with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Measurements
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating the performance of companies. EBITDA is calculated from net income by adding interest expense and income tax expense, and adding depreciation and amortization. Through Q3 of 2012, Dole calculated Adjusted EBITDA from EBITDA by: (1) adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on foreign currency and bunker fuel hedges and the cross currency swap which do not have a more than insignificant financing element present at contract inception; (2) adding the net loss or subtracting the net gain on the long-term Japanese yen hedges; (3) adding the foreign currency loss or subtracting the foreign currency gain on the vessel obligations; (4) adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on foreign denominated instruments; (5) adding share-based compensation expense; (6) adding charges for restructuring and long-term receivables; (7) adding strategic review transaction costs and expenses; (8) adding refinancing charges and loss on early retirement of debt; and (9) subtracting the gain on asset sales.
For Dole's 2013 projected Adjusted EBITDA included in this release, only share-based compensation expense has been added to EBITDA in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. The other eight factors, above, are not expected to be applicable to the new Dole or cannot now be estimated with reasonable precision; therefore, they are not reflected in 2013 projected EBITDA, and thus cannot be added or subtracted back in calculating 2013 Adjusted EBITDA. Potential resolutions of the Honduras tax case, the European Union Antitrust Inquiry and the DBCP cases have not been reflected in the 2013 Adjusted EBITDA projections.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It is not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is not a substitute for net income attributable to Dole Food Company, Inc., net income, income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Further, Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. However, Dole has included this measure because management believes that they are useful performance measures for Dole and for securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of Dole. Dole compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.

WASHINGTON (AP) - After a week like this, is it any wonder voters are cynical?
Within five days of each other, both the president and the campaign of his leading Republican opponent have had to deal with their own 'oops' moments of candor.
President Barack Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russia's president that his dealings with the country on missile defense may be different after the elections, raising the specter of a hidden agenda.
A few days earlier, Mitt Romney's top aide suggested his boss's primary-season positions may shift in the fall campaign, altered as easily as erasing an Etch A Sketch.
Both campaigns tried to explain away the significance of the statements on their own side, while exploiting the missteps on the other side
The net result is just another reason for voters not to trust what they're hearing from the presidential candidates, and to wonder how they'd truly govern in 2013 and beyond.
Distrust among voters already was so strong that it's hard to get worse.
'The level of voter cynicism about the way politicking happens is pretty high, and so it takes a lot to meaningfully move the needle,' said pollster Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. He added that the latest episodes 'will certainly play a reinforcing role' for doubting voters.
Romney can at least take solace in the fact that most voters missed his aide's Etch A Sketch comments altogether.
Just 44 percent of voters said they'd heard about the remarks, according to Pew results released this week. And only 11 percent said it made them less likely to support Romney.
But plenty of voters already had doubts about Romney's convictions, and is GOP opponents have been more than happy to have a catchy new, red visual aid to wave around as they offer themselves as more solid conservatives.
'I have not written my public policy pronouncements on an Etch A Sketch,' Rick Santorum promised while campaigning in next-to-vote Wisconsin. 'They are written on my heart.'
'I think having an Etch A Sketch as your campaign model raises every doubt about where we're going,' said Newt Gingrich, campaigning in Louisiana before the weekend vote there.
Romney has tried to reassure voters that 'the issues I'm running on will be exactly the same' in the future - consistently conservative all the way.
But Jeffrey Goldfarb, a professor at the New School for Social Research in New York who has written a book about cynicism and politics, said the remarks by Romney's aide so neatly fit with what voters already know about the candidate's shifting stances that it's likely 'people will understand and accept or reject him, knowing that's who he is.'
'Moderate Republicans have been praying all along that Romney is not who he's pretending to be during the primaries,' Goldfarb added.
Obama, for his part, tried to laugh off his open-mic remark as simply a restatement of the obvious - that it's hard to get things done during a campaign year and he'll have more flexibility once the elections are past.
'This not a matter of hiding the ball,' he insisted, after jokingly covering up his microphone.
Republicans weren't ready to make light of the matter.
Romney said it was 'very alarming for the president of the United States to suggest to Russia that he has a different agenda that he's going to work out with the Russians after the elections.'
It's not the first time Obama has run into trouble for candid comments meant to remain private.
In 2008, his presidential campaign caught grief when word leaked out about a memo in which one of his senior economic advisers suggested to the Canadians that Obama's harsh words about the North American Free Trade Agreement had merely been for political show.
Obama's Democratic opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said his campaign had given the Canadians 'the old wink-wink.'
Stanley Renshon, a political psychologist at the City University of New York, said voters may not get too worked up about either of the latest episodes because people are beyond cynicism by now.
'They have moved on to resignation,' Renshon said. 'And the difference is that cynicism makes you angry; resignation makes you depressed.'
Between campaign gaffes, gridlock in Congress and disappointment with government, 'everywhere the public turns there's no evidence of competence, and that can be very deeply corrosive,' Renshon said. 'Anybody who's elected in 2012 is going to have to deal with that, and it's going to be an awfully difficult barrier to overcome.'
Public trust in government has been sliding for decades and has never been worse. A CBS/New York Times survey last year found 89 percent of Americans trust the government only some of the time or never.
Princeton historian Julian Zelizer said presidents are forever governing in ways that are at odds with their campaign promises - think of President George H.W. Bush raising taxes despite his 'read my lips' pledge that it wouldn't happen, or Woodrow Wilson leading the country into World War I after a re-election campaign with the slogan 'He kept us out of war.'
But Zelizer said broken promises are often 'more accidental or circumstantial' than deliberate.
'Events change,' he said. 'It's hard for a candidate to predict what will actually happen when they're in the White House.'
Obama and Romney, after reminding voters of that truth, must wish they could take an Etch A Sketch and clear the slate.

We bought nine premium timber venetians and four blockout roller blinds from Veneta Blinds. Their customer service was excellent, the blinds were well packed and delivered well within the advertised timeframe. The blinds are of a good quality and were easy to install. We would recommend Veneta Blinds to anyone.

I purchased roller blinds for double sliding doors to my patio. They were to replace existing blinds - they look wonderful. This is the 2nd purchase from Veneta - last year I purchased Venetian blinds. Each time I spoke to staff and they were extremely helpful - checking on my measurements etc. to ensure that I received exactly what I was after. Very pleased with Venetta and would def. purchase from them again.

I ordered three honey comb blockout blinds and one roller blind They all arrived when I was informed they would. I have now fitted them all and they not only look good, but are fit for purpose. Well done. I will use your company again and have already recommended your service to friends.

Back for my second purchase after receiving two sunscreen roller blinds for a lounge-room. The first order process was very simple and I received a courtesy call to check some details - The blinds turned up packed well and are of a very high quality in terms of materials and fixtures. On my second order there were some differences that were picked up by Liz at Veneta, received another courtesy call and made changes as I had mad an error in the ordering process; no fuss, no bother, all sorted. I will not buy blinds anywhere else - Thanks to all the team at Veneta!

ROLLER BLIND, Top quality item. best block out ever. Our master bedroom faces west and gets full sun in the afternoon from a very large window, which heat up the room to uncomfortable levels, so the missus would have the air conditioner cranking to keep the room cool (freezing). BUT, ever since we installed this block out blind, the room stays the same temperature as the other rooms of the house, and in turn saving us heaps on electricity as we don't have to run the air cond. as often as before. Can live without it.

We've bought a number of blinds from Veneta, both roller and timber-look venetians. The service has been awesome and I love my blinds. The quality is fantastic and I want to buy some more but I've run out of windows! Don't think you can buy a Bunnings blind and achieve the same look or quality - we tried that and came back to Veneta! Thank you so much for your great blinds and fantastic service.

We bought 3 custom roller blinds. One 2.9m long. Our windows are all slightly smaller than the standard sizes you can buy off the shelf. Previously we have had to search high and low for anything to fit and be reasonably priced. But since discovering Veneta its been too easy. Our blinds fitted perfectly. The materials are high quality and they even come with adjusters that other similarly priced brands do not. With their regular discounts off their already very reasonable prices, Veneta are awesome value. We were also very pleasantly surprised at an only 5 day delivery from placing our order. We are already recommending Veneta to all of our friends.

What a great company to deal with. Beginning with the easy to use website, receiving the sample to make sure that was the correct shade & colour. The follow up emails indicating the product was on it's way, then the ease of installing it. The quality looks good, again the follow up phone calls, emails to make sure that everything is fine.
More than happy to recommend you to friends requiring blinds

Could not be happier with our purchase of Veneta Blinds, we installed 8 timber venetians and 3 roller sunscreen blinds, the whole process from measure, order, delivery and fitting was easy,coupled with online assistance and follow up phone calls from Karen from customer service, first class service. I would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone considering the purchase of blinds for their home.

It has been a pleasure to work with Veneta Blinds through every step of the way. Being able to order as many samples as we liked ensured a good match to our needs. The company has been easy to contact and provided very helpful support throughout the measuring and selection process. The delivery of blinds after ordering was extremely prompt. The quality appears very good, the price great, and I am very impressed (compared to experience with a previous supplier) that every blind rolls down perfectly evenly.

We ordered the cordless version of the blinds. Veneta's customer service prior to order and their communications throughout the order/manufacture and delivery was excellent.
The quality and operation on the delivered product is excellent. We are very happy with the final product
One small improvement could be the option of ordering a cover/valance to cover the top of the blinds to make the look neater if the top can be viewed from above.

I needed custom blinds for three windows at home. Measured the windows , ordered three blinds exactly to the dimensions on Veneta's website. They arrived earlier than advised and well packed to ensure no damage.. Quality of the blind is terrific, they fitted perfectly. About to order some roller blinds for other rooms in our house, I will order from Veneta again..

I have recently purchased a house full of roman and roller blinds from your website. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of your products after an initial quote from a local blind shop which was almost double the price of yours!!
The romans are a beautiful quality and very well stitched - they sit perfectly. The black roller blinds block out the sun but allow you to see through and don't make the room too dark.
I was also very impressed with the packaging and they were simple to install.
A great quality product at a very reasonable price.

I've had a couple of complaints that there was no way to track how many downloads a file here on PI. I did a quick search and there was a nifty plugin to add download counts. The only problem is that all downloads start at 0 now. But enjoy the new functionality.

Risk of worldwide slowdown increases significantly
Growth in global merchandise trade slowed to a crawl in the second quarter of this year, according to statistics compiled by the World Trade Organization.
Reporting WTO's findings Sept. 21, Director-General Pascal Lamy said that "in an increasingly interdependent world, economic shocks in one region can quickly spread to others," in reference to the European sovereign debt crisis, high unemployment in the United States and China's slowdown in industrial production.
WTO is looking for renewed commitment to revitalize international trade by improving economic certainty and adherence to free trade. "The last thing the world economy needs right now is the threat of rising protectionism," Lamy added.
The growth in the volume of worldwide merchandise trade — measured by WTO as the dollar value of exports adjusted for price changes, thus focusing on the quantity of goods traded — reached only 5 percent in 2012, after an impressive surge of 13.9 percent in 2011. In the second quarter of this year, the volume of world exports edged up by an annual rate of 3 percent.
Given the disappointing international trade statistics in the first half of 2012 and an expected slowdown in worldwide economic growth, WTO is now more pessimistic than six months ago on future trends in global trade. "Slowing global output growth has led WTO economists to downgrade their 2012 forecast for world trade expansion to 2.5 percent from 3.7 percent and to scale back their 2013 estimate to 4.5 percent from 5.6 percent."
Following a year of strong sales abroad, Michigan's exporters now see the first signs of weakening in their orders from overseas as downside risks in foreign markets intensified in the last few months.
A global economic slowdown — which may reach recession levels in some countries — implies that foreign buyers would have lower income to spend for goods in general and goods made in Michigan in particular. This is the so-called "income-effect" that drives foreign demand for state exports and ultimately incomes and jobs in the local markets.
According to the latest international trade numbers, $4.74 billion worth of goods left Michigan for international markets in July, which was 9.6 percent less than in June. State exports are adjusted for seasonal variation — a statistical process that smoothes out monthly fluctuations for factors such as the number of days in a month and holidays, thus providing a clear picture of state performance similar to the national numbers.
On an annual basis, Michigan's exporters posted gains in selling their goods abroad. In July of this year, foreign outbound shipments from state companies surpassed their mark set in July 2011 by $235.8 million, or 5.2 percent.
Exports of manufactured goods contributed significantly to the state's international trade, accounting for 85 percent of all exports. In July, shipments abroad from Michigan's factories decreased 8.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted volume of $4.02 billion from June and were 6.9 percent higher than in July 2011.
Exports of non-manufactured goods went down 16.4 percent in July to $721.6 million, adjusted for seasonal variation. This group of shipments abroad consists of agricultural goods, mining products and re-exports, which are foreign goods that entered the state as imports and are exported in substantially the same condition.
For the country as whole, exports of goods, seasonally adjusted, fell 1.5 percent in July to $130.8 billion, reflecting declines in industrial supplies and materials; automotive vehicles, parts and engines; and consumer goods. Through the first seven months of 2012, national exports of goods increased by an annual rate of 6.3 percent in comparison with the first seven months of 2011.
How did Michigan's companies fare in export growth during the first seven months of 2012, which in turn impacts jobs and overall state economic development? In comparison with the same period of 2011, overseas sales from Michigan's companies — seasonally adjusted — increased by an annual rate of 12.2 percent. As a result, Michigan ranked 12th among states through the first seven months of 2012 in export growth.
Looking forward, leading economic indicators from around the world point to a weakening outlook for state exports. According to e-forecasting.com's worldwide leading indicators, a monitoring system of future economic activity in 47 countries, the risk of a new worldwide recession has increased. The 47-country composite leading indicator edged up by an annual rate of 1.9 percent in July, compared with a long-term average of 3.6 percent. Other long-term recession signals from the leading indicators now confirm that the risk of a worldwide slowdown has been substantially elevated.
In July, the combined leading indicator for the 17-country Euro Area declined for the 14th consecutive month. The combined leading indicator for the emerging economies group of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) — considered the engine of the 2010 global recovery — rose by an annual rate of 5.5 percent, slightly below its long-term average of 6.1 percent.
The anticipation of weakening in worldwide economic activity translates to a slowdown in the demand for goods made in Michigan. In the next six months, orders from abroad are expected to further weaken, which would lower production and fade export-related jobs in the local economy.
