Airlines adjust to changing FIFO growth
PUBLISHED: 28 May 2014 04:02:14 | UPDATED: 28 May 2014 04:02:14PUBLISHED: 28 May 2014 PRINT EDITION: 28 May 2014Aviation

Charter air operators focused on providing fly-in, fly-out services to the resources sector, are adjusting to a period of lower growth now that boom times and construction projects have receded, with the notable exception of oil and gas.
Alliance Aviation Services, Cobham Aviation Services and Corporate Air have no plans to add to their fleets and are instead focused on using their current aircraft as much as possible, given the high, fixed costs involved.
Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics statistics show Perth Airport charter aircraft movements fell by 11.1 per cent in February from a year ago, although passenger numbers were 11.3 per cent higher, indicating more seats were filled or larger aircraft were being used.
Scott McMillan, the chief executive of Brisbane-based Alliance, says there has not been a major change in the amount of work in the production side of the market, home to most of its clients.
"Where there has been a big change is in the new developments coming on," he said. "There are almost no new major projects out there that are coming into construction."
That hasn't stopped Alliance from winning work. BHP Billiton's iron ore division this month awarded it a three-year contract with two optional one-year extensions to service the airstrips supporting Mining Area C and Yandi. It is Alliance's biggest contract and its first exposure to iron ore.
Adelaide-based Cobham, which is part of a larger UK-listed group, had previously held that contract.
Cobham Aviation Services chief executive Peter Nottage said the contract had gone out to competitive tender in August and his airline had been told in January it was unlikely to be successful.
"We have got a plan at the moment to redeploy the capacity," he said. "I think we had about 2½ [aircraft dedicated to the contract], but the aircraft over there get cross-utilised on multiple contracts, or at least some of them do."
Cobham will no longer have exposure to iron ore once the BHP contract ends in June, but Mr Nottage said demand from the oil and gas sector – where it services Chevron at Barrow Island off the West Australian coast – is still strong.
"I think the oil and gas sectors are probably the most buoyant at the moment," he said.
"There was some softness in gold, but that was awhile ago. We haven't seen that dip further – if anything, we have seen it come back a touch in regards to demand and confidence."
Some positive signs
Canberra-based Corporate Air's chief operating officer, Andrew Webb, said there were some positive signs in the gas market, which was helping to outweigh the negativity in the coal sector in Queensland.
"[Coal] has obviously been hit the hardest, certainly as we see it," he said. "But I would probably say we have a stronger exposure at the moment to gas."
The downturn in the coal sector has likely been a contributing factor to a drop in traffic on commercial routes such as Brisbane-Mackay (down 11 per cent) and Brisbane-Emerald (down 4.6 per cent) reported by BITRE in February versus the prior year. But in contrast, traffic on the more gas-focused Brisbane-Gladstone route is up 10.4 per cent in the same period.
Resources companies areworking hard to keep a lid on costs, but for aviation, safety and reliability are perhaps even more important factors when awarding contracts. A late-flight can wreak havoc with a mine's schedule and, therefore, with its costs.
Mr McMillan said Alliance's ability to answer technical questions quickly, tailor services to meet BHP's schedule and its lack of regular public transport flying (RPT), helped it win the iron ore contract.
"If you are using aircraft on scheduled services and then trying to use them in FIFO operations, it sounds great from an aircraft and asset utilisation point of view," he said.
"But in practice, it doesn't work if you have bad weather or a mechanical problem or have a bunch of things go wrong on an RPT operation and all of a sudden your flight is running late.
"With your resource customer, that doesn't go down well."
Fierce competition
Qantas Airways competes in the FIFO market with Perth-based subsidiary Network Aviation, which has Fortescue Metals Group and Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill Holdings among its key clients. Virgin Australia Regional Holdings (formerly SkyWest) is a major contractor to Rio Tinto's iron ore division. Both of the major airlines compete fiercely for new tenders, but rivals say few large tenders are expected this year.
"There are a few in the oil and gas space over the next six months, but to our knowledge there aren't any major ones coming up," Mr McMillan said.
Mr Nottage said the tenders available were "smaller work", but his hope was that Cobham would be successful in bagging some.
"We are looking at a couple of contract awards by year-end that may see us adding some aircraft to the fleet," he said. "I think there is considerable cost pressure in the market, but we're not chasing market share at any cost. We are here for the long term in the sector and in Australia. Each of the proposals we put forward needs to make commercial sense to us."

Even though Castro is coming off a down year offensively, the Astros still have high hopes for the 27-year-old catcher.
"He's a player that's an important player on our team, and he needs to be himself. He can have an impact on both sides of the ball," Hinch said Monday, per the Associated Press. "I really believe that he's settling into an important few years of his career. ... As he's getting older and more mature and more comfortable in the league, and getting into his rhythm and game plan on catching and hitting, he's in a great spot to have a great impact."
Astros general manager Jeff Lunhow echoes Hinch's sentiments.
"He's been a key part of the team ever since I got here," Luhnow said. "He had his All-Star year a couple years ago. Last year we saw some major strides defensively with his game, which were important, and the offense slipped a little bit, but I think that if you can somehow get the offense from 2013 and the defense from 2014, you've got one of the better catchers in the game."
However, it appears the talks between the two teams are over, as the Tigers have moved on, a source told MLB.com. The talks were believed to be centered around a deal involving Corporan.
Castro struck in the bottom of the fifth inning. With the bases loaded, he sent a 96 mph fastball out to right for the grand slam. Castro also singled and walked earlier in the contest. He finished 2 for 3, with one run scored and four RBI.
Castro connected for a solo home run off Red Sox closer Koji Uehara in the ninth inning. It was his 12th home run and second in August.
Castro is batting .275 with a .450 slugging percentage, .783 OPS, two doubles, four home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs in his last 20 games.
Castro has 106 strikeouts in 339 at-bats this season, but has also driven in 43 runs.
Castro connected for a two-run homer off Brett Cecil in the eighth inning after collecting singles in the first and fifth innings.
Since July 1, Castro is batting .295 with a .526 slugging percentage, .838 OPS, one triple, four doubles, four home runs, nine runs and 11 RBI in his last 19 games.
Castro gave his team a brief 2-1 lead in the first inning before the Marlins went back on top for good in the second. The catcher has managed to go 5 for 13 with a pair of extra-base hits over his last three games. He has hit .229/.298/.382 with nine home runs and 38 RBI in 306 at-bats.
Castro is in the starting lineup behind the plate and batting second for the start of the weekend series before the All-Star break.
The exact nature of the injury is still not known, as Castro remains day to day moving forward.
Castro will return on a four-game hitting streak. He has seven hits in his last 17 at-bats.
Castro has been slumping a bit recently with three hits in his last 21 at-bats.
Find out why in the latest Start and Sit Hitters.
His contact rate is at an all-time low 71.1 percent and his swinging strike rate is at a career-high 13.5 percent, per FanGraphs.com. His strikeout percentage (SO/PA) is also at a career-high 29.7 percent, and his walk rate is at a career-low 7.1 percent.
Perhaps you could subscribe to the theory that this makes Castro an ideal buy-low candidate since he has plenty of room to get back to the norm. Well, I was there about a month ago and Castro isn't showing any signs of turning this around. I will only start to feel confident in Castro heating up if his contact rate starts to increase.
For the time being, I bumped Castro down to 17th in the catcher rankings. If Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud is available in your league, I would consider dropping Castro to add him. I'm even warming up to the idea of dropping Castro for Mariners catcher Mike Zunino, who might strike out a lot but he's at least showing he has more power than Castro.
He was replaced by Carlos Corporan behind the plate Saturday against the Rays, and MLB.com reports the same configuration will be in place Sunday as well. Castro took batting practice Saturday and had no problem, but acknowledged that it bothered him when he tried to catch.
"It really only bothers me to squat," he said. "I've been dealing with some stuff here and there. That's just catching, though. If it's not one thing, it's something else, it seems like. The good thing is I haven't been getting hit by pitches as much at the plate. So that's always nice, not having to deal with that and the stuff from catching."
Castro will get three days off from catching duties with the Astros off Monday, but this is not expected to keep him out of the lineup.
Find out why in my latest Start and Sit Hitters column.
Castro has been a disappointment in 2014 with a stat line of .215/.315/.374 stat line that pales in comparison to what he achieved last season. He has just five hits in his last 28 at-bats.
Castro suffered the injury when he was hit on a backswing during the team's previous series in Detroit. He is day to day moving forward at this point.
Carlos Corporan will get the nod behind the plate. It's a routine day off for Castro. He should return to the lineup Friday. Castro is hitting .215 in 107 at-bats.
Castro helped Houston to its second straight win in Seattle with a two-run homer in the first inning and added a single and run scored in the eighth. He now has four home runs and nine RBI on the year, but has fanned 17 times in just 61 at-bats.
"It's feeling better, but it's not 100 percent," Castro told MLB.com Tuesday. "I think it's good enough to at least hit. Squatting, I think, would be a little much. Hopefully I'll kind of ease into some stuff today and then possibly by [Wednesday] I should be back there. We'll see how it responds. If everything goes well today, hopefully I can get back there [Wednesday]."
The foot didn't seem to bother him much in the batter's box Tuesday, as he went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts. He has been cold to open the season, hitting .179/.289/.385 in 11 games this season.
Castro, who was wearing a protective boot Thursday, will not be in the lineup for the game against the Angels. His absence continues a tough start of the season for Castro, who has just one hit in eight at-bats.
"That was just precautionary last night, just to let it calm down a little bit," Castro told MLB.com before sitting out Friday's game. "It's been better today. Been getting treatment. Once the swelling gets out of there, I should be ready to go. We'll see how it responds to the treatment, but I'm pretty optimistic."
Castro thinks he could play as soon as Saturday, though admitted he is truly day to day as he continues to recover.
"It's about as day-to-day as you can get," Castro said. "If I wake up [Saturday] and it's feeling good, I could get other there tomorrow."
Castro is dealing with a foot injury, and was considered questionable entering the day. He left Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch.
Castro actually remained in the game after being hit by the second pitch, but left in the fifth inning after grounding into a double play. He was diagnosed with discomfort in his right foot and ankle, and will be evaluated following the game to determine his status moving forward.
Grossman posted a .381 OBP throughout his minor league career and managed a .351 mark in that department after his second callup by Houston last season.
Castro missed a few games due to illness but he should be good to go moving forward. He's 9 of 35 with two home runs and nine RBI this spring.
After beginning the spring mired in a 0-for-8 slump, Castro is batting .625 (5 for 8) in his last three games. Castro, who is now batting .313, has two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI in his last three games.
Castro was 2 for 3 against Toronto. He is batting .231 (3 for 13) with four RBI in five spring games. All four RBI have come in his last two games.
"We take all those elements into account, and we really feel he's a player we can't be without at this point," he said. "I think he's exceeded expectations, even internally for the people that drafted him in the first round. He's a left-handed-hitting catcher with power and good defensive skills. ... He's everything you hope for in a first-round pick."
Castro signed a $2.45 million contract in his first year of arbitration eligibility after batting .276 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI in earning team Most Valuable Player honors and landing a spot on the American League all-star team.
Castro has had some knee problems behind the plate, but the team doesn't see any needs to panic yet. General manager Jeff Luhnow said Castro will likely be used as a designated hitter occasionally. He was utilized in a similar role last season.
The team's situation at first is unsettled, and Max Stassi is regarded as a strong catching prospect. When asked whether the team would give Castro reps at first during the spring, Luhnow said the team had not discussed that yet.
Castro hit .276/.350/.485 in 435 at-bats last season.
Castro made the All-Star team last season, and was one of the bright spots in Houston. He posted a .276/.350/.485 slash line last year.
Teams have inquired about trading for Castro, major-league sources told FOX Sports. If the Astros can't sign Castro to a long-term extension, then he could become the team's best trade chip. The Astros could also consider moving Castro to first base.
Castro isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2016 season, so the team still has plenty of time to lock him up long-term. He hit .276/.350/.485 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI in 435 at-bats last season.
Houston has prospect Max Stassi waiting in the wings, and may consider dealing Castro even though he was one of the few bright spots last season. Castro hit .276/.350/.485 in 435 at-bats. Interest in Castro could heat up once Brian McCann and Jarrod Saltalamacchia are off the market.
The 26-year-old Castro hit .276 this season with 18 home runs and 56 RBI over 120 games.
Castro had a cyst removed Thursday. It shouldn't come as a surprise, as Castro was shut down for the season. He hit .276/.350/.485 in 435 at-bats.
Castro had a cyst in the knee drained on Sept. 3, and he has not played since Sept. 7. He finishes the season with a .276 batting average, 18 home runs and 56 RBI.
Manager Bo Porter recently said Castro was a few days from returning to the lineup.
Grossman is dealing with an oblique injury and is loosely considered day to day. He hurt the oblique swinging last Tuesday.
The backstop Castro is day to day with a cyst in his right leg. He's been out for a week now as he last played last Saturday.
Castro continues to deal with a cyst in his knee and he remains day-to-day. He hasn't played since Saturday and he hasn't caught for Houston since Sept. 2. It's unclear when he will return.
Castro hasn't caught since he aggravated a cyst on his right knee last Monday. He's day to day right now. Batting .276 on the year, Castro has gone 3 for 20 (.150) over his last six games.
Castro had a cyst on his knee drained Tuesday, but was able to take batting practice prior to Thursday's game. Manager Bo Porter said Castro may have been available to pinch hit during Thursday's game. Castro doesn't think he'll be out much longer. "I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone. It's kind of best-case scenario. Hopefully, it shouldn't be too much longer."
Castro is hitting .282/.357/.495 in 426 at-bats.
Castro had a cyst drained in the knee, and the team is being cautious with his recovery. He has hit .282/.357/.495 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI in 426 at-bats.
"It feels a lot better today," Castro said Wednesday. "Once I start doing stuff…we'll see how it feels and progress from there. It feels a lot better this morning as far as the soreness has gone down a lot. That was good to see waking up."
Castro missed the entire 2011 season after undergoing surgery to repair the ACL in his right knee. The Astros just want to make sure he's OK going forward.
"We're going to be very careful," manager Bo Porter said. "With the number of games we have left, it's not worth risking this lingering into the offseason and now becoming an issue he has to deal with the whole offseason."
"The cyst was interfering with my hamstring so they drained it," Castro said. "So hopefully that should provide some relief."
Castro believes he'll be back in the lineup shortly for the Astros.
"Yeah, it's a day-to-day kind of thing," he said. "I'm feeling OK. The more time we get away from what happened yesterday, the better it's felt."
Castro left Monday's game with a knee strain, but an MRI showed a cyst. He's considered day-to-day. Castro is hitting .282/.357/.495 in 426 at-bats.
Castro tore the ACL on his right knee two years ago. It is unknown now how extensive this injury is, but the Astros will not need to use the disabled list thanks to expanded rosters.
Castro is now 9 for 17 with seven runs, two doubles, one triple, three home runs and five RBI in his last five games, boosting his line to .278/.350/.490 with 17 home runs and 51 RBI in 406 at-bats.
Castro went 1 for 3 with a walk in his return. He also had a sacrifice fly RBI and scored a run. Castro is batting .273 on the year as he extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Castro, who was returning from a hip issue, has gone 16 for 42 over the streak with two homers and 10 RBI.
The backstop, who entered Tuesday batting .272 on the year, is rocking a 10-game hitting streak. He's gone 15 for 39 (.385) over that stretch with two home runs and nine RBI.
Castro is not in the team's starting lineup Monday. Castro also missed Sunday's game. He's hitting .272/.340/.467 in 375 at-bats.
Castro went 3 for 4 with one walk, two runs, two doubles and four RBI, giving him a .265/.329/.465 line with 13 home runs and 39 RBI in 340 at-bats.
A Castro decline isn't completely surprising since you can't overlook the fact this is the most he has played since totaling 119 games in the minors in 2009. Fatigue certainly could be a factor for the oft-injured catcher.
If you no longer want to wait for a turnaround from Castro, then consider adding players like Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos (owned 35 percent of leagues), Twins catcher Ryan Doumit (58 percent) or Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero (65 percent).
The AL Starters -- selected by fans -- features Joe Mauer, Chris Davis, Robinson Cano, J.J. Hardy, Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout, Adam Jones, Jose Bautista and David Ortiz.The pitching staff is made up of Max Scherzer, Felix Hernandez, Clay Buchholz, Brett Cecil, Justin Verlander, Justin Masterson, Chris Sale, Mariano Rivera, Bartolo Colon, Yu Darvish, Hisashi Iwakuma, Jesse Crain, Joe Nathan and Glen Perkins.12 position players were selected as reserves: Prince Fielder, Torii Hunter, Jhonny Peralta, Dustin Pedroia, Nelson Cruz, Ben Zobrist, Jason Castro, Edwin Encarnacion, Alex Gordon, Jason Kipnis, Manny Machado and Salvador Perez.Joaquin Benoit, Steve Delabar, David Robertson, Tanner Scheppers and Koji Uehara are the five players included in the Final Vote.
His 11 home runs are also the most hit by an Astros' catcher since Mitch Meluskey hit 14 in 2000. The club record is 17 by John Bateman in 1966.
Castro entered play Sunday against the Angels batting .306 (15 for 49) with three home runs, five doubles and seven RBI in his last 13 games.
Castro never showed this much power in the minors, slugging over .500 just once, in a 207 at-bat stretch in High A. His home-run-per-fly-ball rate has jumped six percent and is 16.1 percent on the year. That's not unsustainable, but is probably due for some regression given his past performances. Castro has also been helped out by a .331 BABIP. Given that his strikeout rate is nearly 25 percent, there's a chance his average will fall.
Castro is hitting .273/.332/.483 in 262 at-bats.
His first-inning double drove in Jose Altuve and his third-inning double scored Brandon Barnes.
Castro finished 2 for 4 and is batting .274 with 25 RBI. He's recorded at least one hit in four straight games and is 7 for 15 over that span with three doubles, three runs scored, two homers and five RBI.
Castro is batting .263 (10 for 38) with three doubles, three home runs and six RBI in his last 10 games. He's homered seven times in his last 23 games.
Castro's contact skills were one of his best assets as a prospect, but this season he has struck out in 28 percent of his at-bats. He's also stroked line drives on 32 percent of his hit balls, which has helped him to maintain a .272 batting average despite the Ks. Meanwhile, Castro's 15 doubles and seven homers have helped to build a .467 slugging percentage, which ranks fifth among major-league catchers.
Those numbers aren't far off from the ones Castro put up in the second half of 2012, so his current status as a solid option in one-catcher leagues appears to be legitimate.
Castro has produced five multi-hit games since May 18. He has four doubles, four home runs, seven walks. seven RBI and 10 runs in his last 12 games.
Castro hit .579 -- 11 for 19 -- with a double, three homers and five RBI. He also scored five times in six games. Castro led the majors in average, slugging and on-base percentage over the seven-day stretch.
Castro has equaled his 2012 total with six home runs. With four hits Sunday against Oakland, Castro became the first Houston player with at least three hits in three-straight games since Ty Wigginton in 2008.
It's not entirely unexpected either. Castro was a top prospect coming up through the Astros' system. Just because he didn't meet his potential right away doesn't mean he's a lost cause at age 25. Plus, he showed signs of coming around last year, batting .281 with an .830 OPS over his final 61 games.
Castro probably won't ever be a stud in Fantasy, but given the number of catchers who have disappointed this year -- from Jonathan Lucroy to Miguel Montero to Jesus Montero -- chances are somebody in your league could use him right now.
"Some days that means he'll DH, because I want to give him that rest and still keep his bat in the lineup," Porter said, per MLB.com. "That's one of the advantages of being in the American League, moving the DH around. Catching is the most difficult position to play every day at the major-league level. It's taxing to the body to get back there and squat all night. It's taxing mentally, too, because you have to know your own pitchers, call a game and respond to each batters' tendencies. You need a break sometimes."
Castro homered twice Saturday and is batting .450 (9 for 20) with three home runs in his last six games.
Castro went 3 for 4 with an RBI double and a run scored in a 3-1 victory. He is hitting .252 with two multi-hit games in his last four.
In the fourth inning, Castro took a Nick Tepesch fastball out of left field for a solo shot. It was the only run the team scored off Tepesch. Castro later added an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Castro is hitting .256/.295/.416 in 125 at-bats.
At age 25, he isn't a lost cause offensively. He had an .830 OPS over his final 61 games last year and comes with a top-prospect pedigree, having been selected 10th overall by the Astros in 2008. But just because he can hit doesn't mean he'll hit well enough or consistently enough to factor in Fantasy.
I have my doubts, which is why I rank him 24th at catcher, but in leagues where every team starts two catchers, I'd be tempted to add him just to see where this latest streak goes.
Castro will try to keep his strong stretch going when the Astros face the Tigers in a four-game series that begins Thursday.
Castro, batting .266 on the season with one homer and four RBI, is hot at the moment. He's gone 9 for 21 (.429) over a six-game hitting streak with one RBI and a stolen base.
Castro has been hot lately, with nine hits in his last six games. He should return to the club's starting lineup Tuesday. Castro has been replaced by Carlos Corporan, who will bat seventh.
Castro is batting .077 (1 for 13) in his last four games after his six-game hitting streak (April 5-12) ended. Castro hit .346 (9 for 26) with one home run, three doubles and three RBI during his six-game streak.
It produced immediate results as the 25-year-old singled and scored in the first inning.
Castro had never batted higher than fourth in his young career."It's obviously a great spot in the lineup," Castro said. "A lot of action is going on. There's typically a lot of guys on base in front of you. Hopefully, getting this opportunity, I can capitalize on it. It's somewhere I like to hit. I'll do any job they need me to do, and hopefully I can go out there and show them it was a good idea to have me in the three-hole today."
Of course, he is now.
With his fifth of the spring Tuesday -- and that's in Grapefruit League play, not Cactus League play -- Castro has finally convinced me he's a sleeper. He was a top prospect coming up through the Astros system, after all, and he's just entering his prime at age 25.
Plus -- wink, wink -- you can point to those 61 games last year as a sign of things to come.

Wire Ribbon Flower Bow
By: Marti Wills
Shape loops of sparkly wire ribbon into a gorgeous flower bow to use as an embellishment on a wreath. You'll learn how to make a bow the quick and easy way with this tutorial from Marti Wills.
- Floral Ribbon – wire edged is easier to work with
- 1/3 of a regular pipe cleaner that matches the ribbon
- Hold the edge of the ribbon in between your thumb & finger. Bring the ribbon around to make a loop. Pinch the width of the ribbon together width-wise and hold. This is your center loop.
- Twist the ribbon one time so the right side is facing forward again. Form a loop next to your center loop. Pinch the ribbon in the same spot and twist so the right side is facing forward again. This is your first side loop. Make one exactly the same on the other side of your center loop – pinch & twist.
- You now have a center loop and 1 loop on each side. Make another loop slightly larger & slightly off center from your first side loop – pinch & twist. Repeat on the other side.
- Continue to form loops on each side of your center loop, getting larger and alternating the placement until you have your bow the size you want. Try to keep the loops on each side evenly sized and placed.
- Be sure to keep your layers of ribbon pinched tightly. When your bow is done make one long dangling loop and one final pinch – cut from the spool.
- Use your pipe cleaner to tie around your pinched layers and twist it tightly closed to hold them in place. Snip the ends so they do not show. Cut your long last loop in half for the two streamers.

More clothesless Varus!
Looks nice the way it is. Riot doesn't seem to know what a man is, anyway. You know what we call men who are ripped and shave their entire bodies IRL? Gay.
Junior Member
As stupid as some posts on this thread can be, many are silly yet very true; more-so the posts about his abs being shown, his Greek-like body is what sets him apart from most of the other champions, so it would've been nice if his body tone had more of a visual emphasis on the battlefield. Just my 2¢.
A Bad Varus
I was really disappointed with how much clothes they put on this skin. I thought the point of Varus was that he appealed to the female community. This was supposed to be the female fanservice skin we finally received yet he's wearing more clothes than his classic and Blight Crystal skin combined.
I'd settle for shirtless with a scarf.
Soul Cloud
His new effects and particles are amazing. He has a uhm... half shirt shoulder thingy? Wish the splash art didn't like cover up his smexiness, but still, my favorite skin ever.

Carlos Slim Helu is the richest man in the world
(Read article summary)The annual Forbes billionaire list says Mexico's Carlos Slim Helu is the richest man in the world, finally edging out Microsoft founder Bill Gates and signaling the rising wealth in developing nations.
Kevin Lamarque/Reuters/File
Mexico's Carlos Slim Helu is the richest man in the world.
The annual Forbes billionaire list puts the portly cigar-smoker just ahead of Bill Gates, who held the title for 14 of the past 15 years.
Shares of Slim's telecommunications company America Movil surged 35 percent over the year, bringing his fortune up $18.5 billion in the past 12 months to $53.5 billion, according to the Forbes rich list released Wednesday.
IN PICTURES: Forbes: The richest men in the world
Gates is worth $53 billion, up $13 billion from a year ago. Warren Buffett – the world's richest man in 2008 – now ranks third, with his fortune growing $10 billion over the year to $47 billion.
Slim, 70, is the first man from a developing nation to become the world's richest person, but is only the tip of the iceberg for poorer nation's billionaires as America's share of billionaires dropped to 40 percent from 45 percent of the total a year ago.
Over the past year, Taiwan tripled its number of billionaires to 18, Turkey more than doubled its own to 28, and Brazil and Russia doubled their billionaires to 18 and 62, respectively. For the first time China, with 64 billionaires, has the most outside the US.

How are you supposed to find yourself,
behind that painted on face?
How are you supposed to see yourself,
when you're hidden behind a fake smile?
You're all so plastic,
you're all so fake.
You've lost yourselves in a sea of similarity.
Don't you realize they can see right through you?
The ones you try to impress.
They don't really care.
So why do you fake it?
And why do you pretend?
The truth is we really don't care,
about the people we see on TV.
Sure they're fun to look at,
but their lives aren't our reality.
All that make-up can't hide,
What you really feel inside.
You're say you seek independence,
yet you're just sitting on the fence.
Why can't you just be yourself,
Instead of taking a personality off the shelf?

Will This Ratings Call Help JM Smucker (SJM) Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- JM Smucker (SJM - Get Report) has been initiated with an "equal-weight" rating and $101 price target, Morgan Stanley said Thursday. The firm said the company is facing accelerated K-Cup competition and commodity headwinds.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SMUCKER (JM) CO as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SMUCKER (JM) CO (SJM) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its growth in earnings per share, reasonable valuation levels, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- SMUCKER (JM) CO has improved earnings per share by 12.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, SMUCKER (JM) CO increased its bottom line by earning $5.00 versus $4.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.58 versus $5.00).
- 39.99% is the gross profit margin for SMUCKER (JM) CO which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 11.37% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $421.10 million or 29.96% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, SMUCKER (JM) CO's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 52.64%.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Food Products industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 8.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $154.17 million to $166.70 million.

Let's face it, this is not the Ritz-Carlton by any stretch of the imagination, but I needed budget lodging while participating in a fine arts event in Winter Haven. I was certainly put off by the bad reviews that others have given this property. However, I phoned the property and made it clear that I needed a clean-smelling, non-smoking room. The management could not have been more responsive to my needs. That room was immaculate. Down at heels? Sure. But it was immaculate. At the end of the day, it was rather nice to sit on the porch of my little cottage and watch the light fade over the expansive lake. The property is an easy drive to Gary's Oyster Bar, which has been around forever and has a far-reaching reputation. Cafe 92, just a few hundred meters down the road was an excellent place to get a hot, cooked breakfast served promptly. My advice to others who Priceline one-star hotels is to phone the property and tell the management what you expect. No one wants to intentionally offend a customer; the management of this property went out of their way to ensure that I was satisfied. In that regard, they showed themselves eager to show respect for their customers. Will I stay there again when I do this show next year? You bet! But I will phone ahead and let management know what I expect. Thank you for providing a safe, clean and restful place. ...

Horrible. Our family drove up for one night. For a single star, we did not expect lavish accommodations. We did expect a clean and safe room. There were bugs all around. And a group Of unsavory characters at the front door. We feared for our safety and fled. We stayed elsewhere.

The building was in need of repair, and the room was dirty. The shower was so dirty that none of the four of us would use it. The rooster made sure we all were up bright and early!

This motel should have a zero rating I wouldn't let my dog stay in this unit. I refused to stay the night with my grandchildren. There were people hanging out in the parking lot, drinking beer out of the back of a pickup truck. The office window was behind a bullet-proof glass with a drawer.

GA Keen Realty Advisors Marketing Long Island National Golf Club In Riverhead, Long Island, New York
GA Keen Realty Advisors, a division of Great American Group, Inc. (OTCBB:GAMR), is selling the Long Island National Golf Club in Riverhead, New York through a bankruptcy sale process.
Located at 1793 Northville Turnpike, in the heart of Long Island's east end wine country and minutes from the world-famous " Hamptons", the public golf club is best known for its links-style design created by renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. The 150 acre site is also suitable for residential development pursuant to its current zoning designation.
"While many golf courses have seen revenues decline over the past few years, Long Island National Golf Club has maintained its profitability," said GA Keen Realty Advisors Co-President Matthew Bordwin. "The course's success, masterpiece design and location among scenic farmlands and vineyards make it a highly desirable purchase for buyers and investors. Further, the beauty of the Long Island's East End, specifically the North Fork's wine region, makes this a terrific residential development opportunity as well."
The 6,838-yard course was created to take advantage of rolling hills, dramatic elevation changes and a spectacular mix of traditional design elements. The sale includes the 18-hole links-style course developed on a 150-acre landscaped site, along with a pro shop, grill and clubhouse with a full-service restaurant.
The property and facilities are being marketed as part of a bankruptcy sale and offers are now being considered.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
People ask about corner rounding scripts from time to time here at Typophile. I have heard about several people writing these scripts, but I couldn't find any that were publicly available, so I wrote one for some projects I was working on last year. I dusted it off recently, cleaned it up a little and thought I'd put it out there. It's pretty simple – only 90 lines of python - but it can be easily hacked to support a variety of projects. For example, I modified it to curve the same point across several masters.
It seems like corner rounding is a common enough operation in type design that it is a good candidate for a new tool in FontLab.

Plan dropped to end cone tradition on Glasgow's Wellington statue
Plans to end a long-standing tradition of placing a traffic cone on Glasgow's iconic Duke of Wellington statue have been dropped after a massive backlash.
Glasgow City Council wanted to raise the plinth as part of a £65,000 project to refurbish the monument, which stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art.
It abandoned the plan after a massive social media campaign saw thousands of people sign a petition opposing it.
Campaigners who planned a demonstration now say they will hold a victory rally.
The council had said that raising the height would end a practice which projected a "depressing image" of Glasgow and would save the £10,000 cost of removing the cone 100 times a year.
The scheme would have seen a new granite-clad concrete base of 86cm (34in) added to the memorial to raise its overall height.
However, the council has reconsidered its decision after an online petition called "Save Wellington's Cone", which gathered thousands of signatories in just a few hours, and a Facebook campaign which had planned a rally in support of the cone.
A council spokesman said: "The wording of the report was appalling and the leader of the council (Gordon Matheson) has instructed officers to withdraw the planning application."
The petition stated: "The cone on Wellington's head is an iconic part of Glasgow's heritage, and means far more to the people of Glasgow and to visitors than Wellington himself ever has.
"Raising the statue will, in any case, only result in people injuring themselves attempting to put the cone on anyway: does anyone really think that a raised plinth will deter drunk Glaswegians?"
From the scene
The plastic traffic bollard on the statue of the Duke of Wellington has become an i-cone-ic image of Glasgow.
So cone-troversial plans to cone-sider cone-structing a new plinth caused cone-sternation, and were widely cone-demned on line.
Cone-verts to the proposal argued that the statue needs to be cone-served.
And, they said, the Duke's headgear presents a depressing image of the city, and cone-stantly removing it wastes cone-siderable amounts of cone-cil tax payers money.
This morning one man agreed this is a joke which stopped being funny years ago.
But now the authority seems to have cone-ceeded that most people love seeing the cone in place.
The matter was discussed widely on social networking sites.
Writer and comedian Greg Hemphill wrote on his Twitter feed: "Raising the statue is a very sound idea cause if there's one thing every Glaswegian loves it's being told what they can and cannot do."
Adapting a former catchphrase from his Chewin' The Fat show, he added: "Cony No Dae That."
News that the council was likely to abandon its plans was welcomed by cone campaigner Michael Gray.
"There's been very little discussion with the public about the real costs at the heart of this cone proposal," he said.
"I think if you look at the vast sums of money this cone brings in to the Glasgow economy, especially the tourist economy, business and citizens will be happy for the cone to stay."
The Wellington statue was sculpted by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844.

In case you're not already familiar with Wendy, the prickly, larger-than-life outdoor sculpture by local firm HWKN won this year's MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program competition, and was debuted to the press tonight. In addition to meeting the contest's stipulations that the design provide shade, seating, and water as well as pay creative attention to sustainability, recycling, and material management, Wendy also promises to actually clean the air! According to HWKN, the funky sculpture will be able to remove emissions equivalent to taking 260 cars off the road during the time it stays in the MoMA PS1 yard.
To achieve that ambitious goal, the design combines off-the-shelf materials and scaffolding systems with nanotechnology in a way that is both beautiful and environmentally economical. The pavilion is covered in a blue PVC-based fabric treated with a groundbreaking titanium nanoparticle (TiO2) spray made by Cristal and PURETi that actually neutralizes polluting airborne particles. The way it works is that when TiO2 is exposed to the sun (something there will be plenty of in the yard of MoMA PS1 this summer), it engages in photocatalytic oxidation, which safely burns (or oxidizes) organic matter at the molecular level and converts it into water vapor and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide.
And if the fact that it basically eats smog isn't enough for you, Wendy will also feature spiky arms that mist water and blasts of cool air out onto people as well as a water canon, a pool, a DJ booth and an exhibition space.
We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of Wendy but if you're in New York, we highly encourage you to head over to Long Island City and check it out for yourself after it opens to the public on July 1, 2012.

Orphen awakens from a horrible dream, where he sees Azalie impaling herself on the Sword of Baltanders and transforming into Bloody August.
That day, Orphen, Cleao and Majic travel into a coastal town and attempt to hire a boat to take them to one of the nearby islands, one which contain ancient ruins from the civilization that created the Sword. However, none will take them there, as everyone who has gone there before has been killed by a dragon that lives on the island, their boats eventually drifting back to shore. Instead, our heroes purchase one of the abandoned boats and sail that out instead. On their way they safe Dortin and Volkan from a shark. It turns out that they too are headed for the island, due to a treasure map that Volkan purchased (that turns out to be fake). On the way there, Orphen has several flashbacks to when he came here last, with Azalie, when he was a younger man.
Upon arriving, Orphen discovers that the ruins have been warded, though he easily overcomes the wards. Eventually he finds what he seeks, the statue that once held the Sword. In another flashback, we learn that the statue also held a bracelet that could magnify magical power, and Azalie attempted to keep the bracelet for herself, but hid it in the base of the statue instead after Orphen voiced reservations with her plan. We also learn in the flashback that the sword has the power to transform creatures, causing a mouse to grow.
Returning to the present, we learn that mouse has become the dragon that was killing fishermen. Orphen grabs the bracelet and our heroes lure the Dragon outside, where Orphen is able to bind it. Bloody August arrives shortly thereafter, destroying the bound Rat-Dragon. Orphen tries once again to bind her, with the magic-amplying bracelet assisting her. However, the attempt fails, and Bloody August flies away, with Orphen remaining behind, crying out in grief and rage.

Expressing confidence that the country will return to 9-10 per cent economic growth within a couple of years, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday invited the Indian diaspora to participate in the development of the country of their origin.
Inaugurating the Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas celebrations here, he pointed out that infrastructure, agriculture, health and education were the key priorities for the second term of the UPA government.
"It is important to connect the second generation of Indians to India's march forward," he told the gathering.
People of Indian origin spread all across the world are participating in the meet attended by nearly 1,500 delegates from over 40 countries.
The Prime Minister said India's economy had fared well despite the unprecedented global financial crisis and recorded 7 per cent growth this year.
He said India's growth has been one of the fastest this year. "We are equally optimistic of returning to sustained growth of 9-10 per cent in a couple of years," Mr. Singh said.
He noted that the rapid economic growth over the last two years had helped millions of people in the country "but more needs to be done".
"But I cannot say that we have delivered in full measure on the enormous promise and potential of our country," the Prime Minister said.
Mr. Singh said he recognises the "frustration well wishers feel when they lament why things don't work faster or why well formulated plans and policies don't get implemented as well as they should be."
In this regard, Mr. Singh said, "it is probably true that we are a slow moving elephant but it is equally true that with each step forward we leave behind a deep imprint."
He said there is "a price that we pay" in trying to carry all sections of people along in national development.
"It is perhaps a price worth paying. Each citizen should feel that his or her voice is heard and have a sense of participation in national development. This is the only way we know to accommodate the enormous diversity of opinions and interests in our country," he said, adding "It is also this characteristic that makes our democracy so vibrant."
He noted that underlying the Indian system is an inherent political and economic resilience "that gives our country and its institutions great strength and buoyancy".
The Prime Minister said the government has been able to expand access to education, healthcare and economic opportunities to a vast majority of the population.
"This is, however, a work in progress and much more remains to be done," he said.
"I solicit your assistance to achieve those goals," he told the gathering of Indian diaspora.
Mr. Singh talked about the wish to accelerate efforts to effectively address the key constraints in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, health and education, which are "the key priorities for the second term of our government."
He sought "active involvement of the overseas Indian communities in accelerating the pace of our economic and social development."
In this context, he said, "It is important that we make efforts to connect the second generation of overseas Indians with their ancestral heritage and involve them actively in India's march forward."
Noting that India is one of the top investment destinations with expanding economic opportunities everywhere, he asked the overseas Indians to "take a careful look at long—term investment opportunities now on the horizon in our country."
He said Foreign Direct Investment in India by overseas Indians is low and far short of potential as they tend to be good savers and "somewhat conservative investors" and most of their remittances are placed in bank deposits.
Mr. Singh said Indian industry is rapidly developing a global orientation with many of its companies transforming themselves into multinational corporations with global brand names.
"As Indian industry steps outward, the Indian diaspora could do more to inter—link Indian industry with global markets. They could reinforce the improving brand image of India," Mr. Singh said.
He hoped that the newly established Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre will become an effective hub for promoting two—way interaction between the overseas Indian community and our institutions.

I was the guy who did the throwing up when my arm was raised. Vagabond, now that was a good time.
And what does this training consist of?
"Drinking a Schlitz every night ... and I haven't consumed anything since 4 p.m."
James, on the other hand, is finishing yet another tall-boy as he squeezes his way into the middle of a line of about a dozen other contenders. "I get nervous before every competition, so I drink a little to loosen myself up," he admits. "There's got to be some competition out there somewhere."
Then the MC, José El Rey — a local artist known for his silly/sardonic Spanglish techno tunes and a truly remarkable (and magical) mustache — grabs a mike and says, "I am the king! But where is my court?" The other two members of ¿Que Pasa M.I.A.? — Slim Biscayne and Aholsniffsglue — distribute quarts of Colt to the row of motley chuggernauts.
Next the 32-ouncers are pulled from brown paper bags, and wide mouths are pressed to eager lips.
"Go!" El Rey abruptly shouts as teeth clank on glass, heads tilt back, beer dribbles down chins, people cheer, shirts are stained, and poor little Alex looks like he should just surrender.
Then there's James. He's living up to his rep, but close behind him is a sloppy guy in a long-sleeve gray shirt and overgrown curls — dubbed Queasoid for his wobbly state — and a curvy, confident woman who calls herself Ms. Goobs.
After about 30 seconds, El Rey's voice booms across the patio. "James wins!"
All the freshly queasy chug-a-thoners lower their quarts, but then the ¿Que Pasa? judges look more closely. When James and Queasoid put down their quarts, there's a half-inch of amber backwash at the bottom of their bottles. Ms. Goobs, however, has nothing but foam in her empty Colt.
Everyone is confused — and drunk —so a rematch is called.
But Ms. Goobs ain't having it. "It's because I'm female!" she snaps and then waddles back into the crowd for sympathetic pats on the back. "You know what's funny? About two years ago on Halloween, I was in the Grove and I saw some guy dressed up as the Count of Monte Cristo passed out alone in front of [a club called] Cielo. Most of my friends couldn't give a shit, but I was concerned. So I tried to get him up and give him some water. But nothing was working. I found his phone and called the first number on it and told them they needed to come and pick up this kid.
"And that kid was James!"
Who is now chugging again, but after two tall-boys and a quart of Colt, the champ can't keep up. Queasoid beats him by a nanosecond and promptly pukes all over the floor, earning himself an upgraded name: Vomitron.
The audience laughs, but James looks annoyed. "I can't believe I lost to a drunk," he snarls.
I was the guy who did the throwing up when my arm was raised. Vagabond, now that was a good time.

Axel was 17 pounds at 9 weeks. Huge paws and everyone said he's going to be huge. Not necessarily so. He is a year old now and a nice lean 77 pounds. He'll still fill out but he won't be near as big as everyone told me he was going to be which is just fine with me.

My male was a very large puppy (about the same size as yours) and he maxed out at 75 lbs. His parents were larger also. It's very unlikely your pup's father was 130 lbs and not obese, so I would avoid using that as a goal or gauge. The size of the paws doesn't mean much- my female is very petite (she was 26 lbs at 16 weeks) but she has enormous paws. Keep him lean to keep his joints healthy if he's genetically on the side of oversized, and enjoy watching the progress

130 lbs is enormous! I agree with poster below me, that would seem unlikely. My guys dad was 95lbs and he was very, very big already. I've had shorter rotties that weighed more but they are supposed to be stocky, GS are not.Tiger (my puppy) was 13.5 lbs at 8 weeks.

Report: Davis Love to lead U.S. squad
Updated: January 17, 2011, 2:18 PM ET
Associated Press
HONOLULU -- Davis Love III is next up as U.S. captain in the Ryder Cup.
Two officials involved with the selection process confirm that Love will be the captain in 2012. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement was not until Thursday at Medinah, site of the next Ryder Cup.
Reports out of Europe indicate Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain will be announced as captain Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
Love played on six teams, and he faced Olazabal ...

Reflection of fire in a window representing comfort, the visceral satisfaction of flame and warmth of double hung insulation. The natural world is there for us or we can live in the house, it's nice to have both each a refuge from the other. Central heat and music or watching clouds and feeling rain, listening to birds with wind in our face. Wearying of either come in or go out. The last place we live is in the spirit. How do you dress for that?

VICTORIA (NEWS1130) – Victoria police say they seized a firearm in February from a man who was shot and killed by Mounties in Maple Ridge on Wednesday after a double murder and attempted murder in Burnaby.
Angus David Mitchell, 26, was killed in a shootout along a rural road after police issued a public warning saying he was armed and dangerous.
Mitchell was being sought in connection the shooting deaths of two people in a sushi restaurant and the wounding of his former landlord earlier this week.
Victoria police say they dealt with Mitchell in a Mental Health Act incident in February, which resulted in the seizure of a firearm.
Mitchell later made an application to have the firearm returned to him.
Victoria police say no links have been made between the firearm seizure and the current investigations into the Burnaby shootings.
