"IN CHINESE, Carrefour happens to mean 'Every Happy Family', a piece of luck which has doubtless contributed to the French firm's success in China."
笨蛋, Carrefour's name doesn't "happen to mean" anything in Chinese any more than it does in English. The Chinese name 家樂福 was chosen (rather well) because the three characters can be loosely translated, respectively, as "family," "happy," and "blessed." In the context of Chinese syntax, that evokes the notion of familial bliss, which by the way is 5% off right now if you buy a ten pack.
True, the name is pronounced "Jia Le Fu" in Mandarin, which sounds a little like "Carrefour." But the characters 假鰳腐 have the same sound, and mean "false," "Chinese herring," and "rotten."
Well, let this be a lesson to you: don't try to be too clever about something that's outside your area of expertise, and don't take Chinese people at their word when you ask them a question to confirm your understanding of their language; unless they know you and know you're serious, 9 times out of 10 they will just confirm whatever misconception you've put to them, either because they didn't quite get the question or they just don't really care.
The transliteration of foreign company names' into Chinese are always a carefully-chosen balance between approximating the original pronunciation and coming up with a good meaning, this one leaning towards the latter. Amusingly, more than a few Chinese companies seem to take semi-meaningless, foreign-sounding names to try to fool local consumers.
Congratulations on the neologism- for 'short-sighted' now read 'activist'. If need be, let's hope theother shareholdes can re-jig thin gs to block the kind of myopic greed thatseems to be takinghold in somany other business, too.

They do not have the same sound, and I don't like your tone one bit.
It's your call to exit the rest of the world, and I doubt you'll regret the decision. Letting CIC buy into you would make the joint venture a true marriage, but why not seek a rich Turk to buy in instead? There's a husband who would be safer and closer to home.
Retail Investor:
You are the kind of person who would sell your child into slavery before giving up your wife, not because you do not not love her any more, either!
How much is "large sums"?
Nathan W'
There, there.
Are these guys on crack? Exiting China in favour of European markets?
Taking the one-off payout rather than looking towards long term growth for the company?
This kind of move is exactly how "activist shareholders" has become a dirty word for those who would sell out a company to the detriment of those who invested for the long term.
Just another case of shareholders having problems that they look to their investment in a company to fix. Perhaps they need laws governing the conflicts of interest between shareholders' interests and the company's interests? DUH!
It was always thus. Same with politicians, but only more so and much more costly. Similar laws needed to eliminate the trillions spent by taxpayers to benefit some evil politicians.
Why destroy a company just because two guys need some cash? Rally the other shareholders and put an end to the idea. Or distribute a rights issue to all existing shareholders to raise the cash for the dividend they force. Inefficient but protects the company.
Carrefour has also invested large sums in Argentina, but hell will freeze over before The Economist will even mention it in passing.
In my humble opinion carrefour is doing well in china not only because of its name (carefully chosen as it should be) but also because it is foreign and that has a nice status appeal. Wal-mart is doing very well in China (it has around 252 locations) as well and its name is not particularly meaningful in chinese. It is pronounced wo er ma (沃尔玛)which could mean rich/fertile- you- agate!
Indeed, the sale to WalMart will be creating a full monopoly, wonder whether China has anti-trust law. And Walmart traditionally has pretty bad reputation of treating employees, Carrefour should be better, Europeans usually do.
Dudes in 25 years we will buy everything from Walt Mart.
yielding anything, especially market share to Walmart is a bad idea, and bad for consumers.
And these guys call themselves executives? Just HOW much do they earn to get stupid ideas like that?
This just shows me never to underestimate the power of short-term greed...
Anyway, why should they care? They're not french, they really didnt made carrefour... Just foreigners craving for chash.
There is a situation here at Brazil that deserves attention:
Together, the 3 first retailers chains (CBD, Carrefour and Wal-Mart) detain almost 40% of the market-share.
- Carrefour: Wal-Mart could buy the Brazilian operation
- CBD: Its owned by the french-chain Casino. Wal-Mart is softly starting to buy Casino.
So, if you think about, the future could be a strong and huge Wal-Mart!
"IN CHINESE, Carrefour happens to mean 'Every Happy Family', a piece of luck which has doubtless contributed to the French firm's success in China."
Carrefour's name doesn't "happen to mean" anything in Chinese any more than it does in English...
The misunderstanding here could be as innocent as between an English speaker (probably outside of China) trying to decipher how it would translate into Chinese, and the intention of the article which all along is from the perspective of the majority of the resident Chinese shoppers, who knowing not a word of any foreign language let alone English are not only under-represented in forums like ours, but are able to respond only to familiar signs and symbols presented, including the end product of a translation process in our case, for their buying decisions.
I rekon supermaket is a promising investment for the shareholders,and there is a tend that chinese are flowing into market to buy products!
Wouldn't it be lovely if Carrefour's China operations were moved under someone else's aegis. Why did the article fail to mention that shopping there is a ghastly ordeal?

The Al Hashulchan gourmet food magazine has published a beautiful book with recipes for what it calls its "100 best ever cakes." The recipes, collected over the years by the editors of the magazine, were created by some of the best bakers in Israel.We chose three recipes that we feel are best suited for the holiday time, but it was a very hard choice to make. If you're looking for a great gift idea, take this book into consideration. Any Hebrew reader who loves to bake will be delighted to have it in their kitchen.Try these three recipes for a sweet and happy New Year.CHOCOLATE-HONEY MOUSSE CAKE Karin Goren's chocolate mousse cake is very impressive. She says that no one has to know how easy it is to make. Just serve it and wait for the compliments.Goren has a few recipes in 100 Best Ever Cakes, but this one seems just right for the holidays. The cake has a crunchy base that doesn't require baking, and the mousse is very quick and rich, and its consistency resembles fluffy marshmallow. With chocolate and cream, as well as egg yolks mixed with boiling honey, this cake will soon become one of your favorites.To obtain the best result, use clear siding (available in specialty baking shops). To decorate the cake, use a stencil pattern that you can buy or make at home.For a 26-cm. spring form: ✔ Base: 150 gr. chocolate ✔ 20 gr. butter ✔ 2 cups unsweetened rice pops For the mousse: ✔ 1 liter cream ✔ 4 egg yolks ✔ 2 Tbsp. sugar ✔ 1⁄4 cup honey ✔ 350 gr. bitter chocolate, chopped ✔ 2 Tbsp. brandy or liqueur For the decoration: ✔ Powdered cocoa To prepare the base: Melt chocolate and butter in microwave. When the chocolate is melted, mix in the rice pops. Make sure all the pops are covered with chocolate.Line the bottom of a 26-cm. spring baking form with baking paper. Line the sides with transparent siding film. Press the base chocolate mixture to the bottom with a spoon and flatten to make an even layer.Put the cake base in the freezer while making the mousse.To prepare the mousse: Whip the cream and refrigerate. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together on high speed for 1 minute.Meanwhile, place honey in a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Drizzle the boiling honey into the yolk mixture while the mixer is working, and continue mixing until the mixture is light and cooled. The hot honey cooks the egg yolks, so don't worry about using raw eggs.Melt chocolate in the microwave.While still hot, pour the chocolate into the egg yolk mixture and mix. The mixture will turn hard and will be a little difficult to mix – that is how it's supposed to be. Keep mixing. When smooth, fold in one-third of the whipped cream, mix in the liqueur or brandy and fold in the rest of the whipped cream.Pour the mousse into the crust and smooth the surface. Place in the freezer overnight or at least 3-4 hours.A few hours before eating, remove the cake from the freezer, remove the sides of the baking form and place in the refrigerator to thaw, about 1-2 hours. Close to serving time, remove the clear siding, decorate with cocoa powder and enjoy.ZIGGI'S APPLE AND ALMOND PIE Tamy Helbrecht says the recipe for this pie, with a crunchy base, tart apple cubes wrapped in a blanket of melting pastry and an almond crust, was given to her by a German friend named Ziggi. Helbrecht says she altered the recipe slightly, but for her this will always be Ziggi's pie.For the short pastry: ✔ 250 gr. (2 cups less 3 Tbsp.) flour ✔ 100 gr. (1⁄2 cup) sugar ✔ 125 gr. cold butter, cut into cubes ✔ 1-2 Tbsp. cold water ✔ 1 egg For the filling: ✔ 8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into small cubes ✔ Juice of 1 lemon For the batter: ✔ 150 gr. soft butter ✔ 125 gr. (1 cup + 2 Tbsp.) sugar ✔ Zest of 1 lemon ✔ 1 egg ✔ 100 gr. (3⁄4 cup) flour ✔ 250 ml. cream For the topping: ✔ 100 gr. (1 cup) sliced almonds ✔ 15 gr. (1 heaped Tbsp.) sugar ✔ 1 egg white For serving: ✔ Powdered sugar Heat oven to 180º.To make the base: Mix flour, sugar and butter in a food processor. Add egg and 1 Tbsp. cold water. Mix only until a dough forms. Add more water if needed.Spread the dough in the bottom of a 26- cm. spring baking form.Mix the apple cubes with the lemon juice and arrange on the dough in an even layer.To prepare the batter: Mix butter, sugar, lemon zest and egg in a mixer bowl. Gradually add cream and flour, alternating between them. Continue mixing until smooth. Pour over the apples. Bake for 20 minutes until cake top turns golden but cake is not yet baked through. Keep oven on.Mix sugar and the egg white, add almonds. Remove cake from the oven, spread the almonds evenly on the top.Return the cake to the oven and continue baking for 20-25 minutes until the almonds are browned and the cake is stable.Remove from oven, cool and sprinkle powdered sugar on top.HONEY AND ALMOND KRANTZ Micky Shemo's cake is a hit in his bakeries, especially during this holiday season.The creme patissiere makes this a cake worthy of special days.For 3 loaf baking forms : ✔ 25 gr. (1⁄2 cube or 1⁄2 packet) fresh yeast ✔ 150 gr. (3/4 cup) sugar ✔ 180 ml. (3⁄4 cup) cold water ✔ 770 gr. (51⁄2 cups) flour ✔ 3 large eggs ✔ 1 tsp. real vanilla extract ✔ Zest of 1⁄2 lemon ✔ 175 gr. butter, cut into small cubes ✔ 1⁄2 tsp. salt For the creme patissiere: ✔ 480 ml. (2 cups) milk ✔ 110 gr. (1⁄3 cup) honey ✔ 1 tsp. real vanilla extract ✔ 6 egg yolks ✔ 30 gr. (1⁄4 cup) cornstarch ✔ 50 gr. soft butter, cut into cubes ✔ 2 cups lightly roasted sliced almonds For the topping: ✔ 1 egg, beaten ✔ 1⁄2 cup sliced almonds To prepare the dough: Place yeast in a mixer bowl with water and sugar, and mix.Add flour, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon zest and knead for about 3 minutes in slow medium speed until the dough is smooth.Add butter cubes one by one, while kneading until they disappear into the dough.Continue kneading for about 7 minutes.Add salt and knead another minute.Place the dough in a floured bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.To prepare the creme patissiere: In a medium-size pot, bring to boil milk, honey and vanilla.In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and egg yolks until smooth. Pour 1 ladle of the hot milk into the cornstarch and egg mixture, and mix well. Pour the egg and cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk and honey and cook while mixing over low heat, until the cream thickens.Pour the creme patissiere into a mixer bowl and whip for about 5 minutes. The mixture should be warm but not too hot (about body temperature). Add butter into the mixture and continue mixing until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap. Let the plastic wrap touch the whole surface of the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.Knead each part on a lightly floured surface and roll each part to 25x35-cm. rectangles about 1⁄2 cm. thick.Spread one-third of the creme patissiere on each rectangle. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on the cream and roll the dough.Cut each roll in half lengthwise, create a screw shape from each two halves and place in lined loaf baking forms. Cover the cakes with clean and damp kitchen towels and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.Heat oven to 170º.Brush the cakes with beaten egg and sprinkle with almonds.Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden.The recipes and the photographs are taken from the book 100 Best Ever Cakes by Al Hashulchan.

TV SPORTS; If 6 Was 9: Nascar Numerology at Daytona
By Richard Sandomir
Published: February 20, 2004
In Nascar race-calling, is the car number more important than the driver's name? Take this snippet from NBC's Wally Dallenbach during Sunday's Daytona 500: ''The 8 is so far in front, he can just weave. If the 20 gets a fender on the 8 car and the other two cars line up, they should get past the 8 car.''
The 8 car was Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the 20 car was Tony Stewart.
In Nascar parlance -- but not normal sports discourse -- the number is a predominant identifier. It is Nascar numerology. The car's the man, the man's the car.
But you cannot rely too little on drivers' names, not when Nascar is more mainstream than ever and you are selling stars to casual viewers. Heck, if Jeff Gordon said goodbye to good old No. 24, which of the two would fade to black?
We know Mickey Mantle wore No. 7, but Mel Allen never said: ''7 crushes a Ballantine Blast into the center-field bleachers. How about that?''
So it was odd to hear NBC's crew using numbers as if the cars were machines of artificial intelligence with ciphers in jumpsuits inside. Not that names were not used, but numbers were too important.
''Ninety-seven, who's he going with?'' Benny Parsons said when Kurt Busch was deciding to abet 8 or 20.
''Going with 22, Stewart!'' Dallenbach said.
Later, Dallenbach, a recently retired driver, said, ''He's got to anticipate whatever move 20 is going to make and he pretty much knows the 97 is going to go with him.''
Sometimes the attempt to balance name and numbers turns into a silly jumble that sounds like: 97 could help Tony, but he might help 8, who bumped into Kurt so now 97 is a lap back, and Busch has to choose to push 8 or Tony so that Dale Jr. or 20 might help 97 in the future.
''You need a mixture of the two,'' Sam Flood, NBC's producer, said. ''Every time you see the 20 car, you can't say, 'The No. 20 Home Depot car driven by Tony Stewart.' The easiest way to identify the driver is by number. With numbers, you know immediately what you're looking at. What's the best way to tell which car it is, by saying Greg Biffle, or No. 16? We do both.''
But the rookie Biffle, who finished third at Daytona, is not yet defined by a number, much like you and me. So a little more of saying, ''Biffle in the 16 car,'' or even ''16 Biffle'' would go a long way to helping occasional viewers, a group that no doubt swells every February for the Daytona 500, which generates ratings about double the Nextel Cup race average.
Sometime viewers cannot easily name the drivers inside the 01, 32, 38 or 45 cars, let alone the bigger stars inside 40, 48 and 88.
Flood is correct that announcers need not overuse the drivers' names when several are bunched together in a lead pack and their numbers are called repeatedly. ''If you're a novice fan, we have to best explain which car it is,'' Flood said.
Still, Fox's Darrell Waltrip said he was not a numbers man. ''That's old school,'' he said. ''For me to talk about Jeff Gordon, I'd never talk about the 24 car, or the DuPont car. You don't talk about the quarterback No. 12. That's old school.''
But he makes a distinction, which will be on display for Fox's fourth Nascar season, which starts Sunday with the Subway 400 from Rockingham, N.C.
''If I'm talking about the car, I'd say the 6 car is getting off Turn 2 well, but that's talking about the car,'' Waltrip said. ''I'd say the 29 car is smoking, not Kevin Harvick. He's not smoking.''
One must note that when the focus was on people, and not numbers, NBC excelled in reporting on Michael Waltrip's being upside down in his wrecked car -- with Parsons screaming, ''Turn the thing over!'' -- as well as in talking to crew chiefs and listening to spotters as they planned their strategies. We can only hope that crew chiefs like Tony Eury Sr. never acquire numbers.
While the penchant for using numbers too frequently is pesky, a far more annoying problem happened twice during NBC's telecast: the insertion from New York headquarters of animated promotions for ''Shrek,'' which the network was showing in prime-time Sunday. When a giant animated ogre lumbers across the screen -- he only had a name, not a number -- you noticed that he was blocking the track. He is a lovely and sensitive monster, but he could not have been more out of place.
Armed with the ability to animate promotions for coming programming in what should be a discreet corner of the screen, networks have gone bonkers, distracting from what is currently being shown. Maybe NBC could not downsize Shrek and left him larger than toon life.

Judge: Prosecutor Hid Evidence In Murder Trial
A judge in Cleveland has ordered new trials for three men convicted of a 1995 slaying because of what she says was "malicious suppression of evidence" by an assistant prosecutor.
Listen to the Story
The Ohio Senate has rejected the governor's public safety director appointee after she was accused of lying about a called-off sting involving inmates working at the governor's residence. The Republican-controlled Senate voted 18-15 yesterday to deny the confirmation of Public Safety Director Cathy Collins-Taylor.Senator Timothy Grendell says Collins-Taylor lacked qualification for the job.
"The question is this: Do you feel that this individual has the leadership and management skills to best serve the public safety of the state of Ohio as being the leader of that department. In fact, I will submit the answer to that is no."
But Democratic State senator Nina Turner questioned the process used to dismiss Collins-Taylor.
"It was flawed from the beginning and the fact that we are using the cloak of the constitution as the reason to not to confirm a lady who has given her entire life to service to this state is certainly unconscionable."
Governor Ted Strickland says Collins-Taylor is a good and decent person who served Ohio honorably and humbly.

Executive Summary
Outsourcing to save money is a no brainer. Outsourcing to get the job done well is service at a whole other level. Depending on the industry, U.S. businesses are looking beyond their old late night call center buddies in India for cost effective, well-made products and services. Southeast Asia, South America and the Balkan nations are also home to highly educated, skilled professional experts working at bargain basement prices - for now.

It has been a regular joke for a few years now that any struggling franchise just needs to bring Dwayne Johnson into the fold if it wants to regain relevance, but thanks to SNL, we now know that he is very aware of the joke. While guest hosting the world's most famous live sketch comedy show, Johnson devoted his entire monologue to crooning a song about how he's "franchise viagra."

Scavengers of the breeze
Growing up in the small southeastern Minnesota community of Harmony put me in close proximity to the Iowa River. Periodically on hot sultry summer days, I would cool off by wading the cool waters of that river in quest of small-mouth bass.
In addition to catching a few fish, the highlights of those adventures were avoiding timber rattlesnakes that would come down off the adjacent bluffs in search of water and sighting a very rare turkey vulture.

Biggest 'new' positional holes
After injury to Bell, Pittsburgh's running back issues arise again
The NFL is a rough league. Coaches and general managers spend the entire offseason making changes to their rosters and envisioning what a great array of talent they will assemble for Week 1. But as we have seen this offseason, injuries occur and quickly derail those well laid-out plans. One of the greatest challenges for NFL franchises is adapting to injuries to key players and still finding ways to win games on a weekly basis.
Below are five positional group holes that weren't necessarily a problem before the preseason, but now need to be addressed.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Running back
Due to a change in scheme, poor blocking (mostly from injuries to the offensive line) and just poor running back play, the Steelers really struggled to run the ball effectively last season and got very few big plays from their ground attack. The line is young, talented (healthy for now) and in its second season in Todd Haley's offense, although the Steelers are switching to a movement-based zone-blocking scheme from their traditional power downhill attack. But this line is athletic and capable of making the switch.
To remedy the running back problem, Pittsburgh drafted Le'Veon Bell in the second round. Bell is a big back in the traditional Steelers mold, but also an adept zone-blocking runner who catches the ball very well -- something Haley requires from the position. Bell was drawing rave reviews in training camp and it appeared as though Pittsburgh had its true feature back. But Bell's preseason foot injury has put a huge damper on those expectations, and mid-foot injuries like his can linger. That leaves last season's incumbents, Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman, competing for the lead job -- which is exactly what the Steelers didn't want in the first place.
Dwyer has slimmed down and looks noticeably quicker, while Redman offers more in the passing game, but neither is overly dynamic. The Steelers did trade for Felix Jones, whose stock has plummeted greatly since his best days in Dallas, and signed LaRod Stephens-Howling in the offseason. Stephens-Howling was effective in the first preseason game, but hasn't seen time since due to injury. Expect him to garner some carries and receptions on a weekly basis, especially while Bell is sidelined.
Ben Roethlisberger has been terrific this preseason. He is going to have to keep it up for the Steelers to keep moving the ball on offense, especially early in the season.
Oakland Raiders: Offensive line
The Raiders have a roster that is ill-equipped to handle a major injury to one of their top players, so when left tackle Jared Veldheer partially tore his triceps during the preseason and went on IR, it was a big blow. He will miss a significant portion of the season, and the strength of that arm will be a question mark when he does return. The Raiders used a second-round pick this year on the extremely talented but extremely raw Menelik Watson, with the intentions of slowly developing him to pair with Veldheer. That would give the Raiders a pair of athletic bookends to anchor their line for years to go, along with Stefen Wisniewski, a building-block player at center.

I liked the food but the service was poor. Not as good as the last owners though. I would love it if it would have a delivery service in the future
Second visit to this restaurant and the food was fantastic. The value of money you get is great, portions are large and the waiter pointed out that a side dish is big enough to share between two so you avoid over ordering. Lovely service and a great overall experience. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Highly recommended!!
I've been to the grill before but was my mum and sisters first time for my mums birthday, and I had no doubt they'd enjoy it too.... And they did. The food is just TO DIE FOR, excellently cooked, seasoned and presented ( slight problem with my sisters steak souvlaki, as she doesn't like to see blood, but the chef...
A superb little restaurant in the heart of Wakefield. Lovely ambience, friendly service and beautifully presented and delicious food.
I had the chance wild boar belly, washed down with a very smooth and spicy Argentine Malbec and it was sublime.
I can't wait to go back.
We've been a few times now and so feel the need to pass on our praise. A great little place with a great atmosphere. Food is good value and service excellent even when with a big party. The range of food is just right and delicious. I just hope they stick to their roots and don't try to go too...
I have been visited this amazing restaurant on a number of occasions and they never disappoint. Great service and fabulous food in a relaxed setting. Returned the menu to what for me they do best which is Greek cuisine and I am one happy bunny for it. If you have not tried this place and consider yourself a foody then...
We visited this restaurant for the first time in May 2014 after reading other TA reviews.
The premises are well located in the centre of Wakefield, with lots of parking nearby. The dimensions of the restaurant are quite petite. It's a long narrow space that allows for around 20-30 guests in normal configuration. Decoration is simple, but sympathetic and suitable....
We visited again last night & this little restaurant never lets us down.
As always, the food was divine
The harissa prawns are absolutely delicious, fish & meat mains second to non, staff always welcoming & more than friendly!
A perfect end to a perfect day!
Thank you David & Laura!
We were in Wakefield for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday with my son and daughter I law. The welcome was friendly and warm. There was a good choice of dishes including some specials on the board. The quality of the meat was high and the cooking of a good standard. The friendliness and efficiency of the staff made...
Just had an amazing meal, we was made to feel so welcome and it was like we had known them for a long time.
Restaurants can be so pretentious these days but 31 wasn't . The music, the Star Wars menus were fab !
Would highly recommend this for any occasion
Thank u for a lovely evening x

Hi my loves, It is raining outside right now. It's kind of poetic that as of late, the whether has been reflective of my feelings: wet, grey and disappointing. I have seem to have lost my gift of words. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't write a sentence. And lately, I can't hear Chaos whisper words of revenge, destruction, or crude humor. I think I am drifting away, slowly becoming one of the forgotten lost at sea. I don't know where my raft it. I don't know how to keep my head afloat. I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but in all honesty, I don't know if I can write anymore. I am lost and I don't know if I want to be found. I'll try my hardest to get my act together and starting writing again. Who knows, maybe I'll find myself in the most random spot.
I hope you're okay!

Ukrainian Businessman Arrested in Austria on U.S. International Corruption Conspiracy Charges
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Dmitry Firtash, 48, a Ukrainian businessman, was arrested Wednesday by Austrian authorities in Vienna on a provisional arrest request based on charges filed in the Northern District of Illinois, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Zachary T. Fardon of the Northern District of Illinois.
The charges result from an investigation, which the FBI has conducted for several years,
of an alleged international corruption conspiracy.
Firtash's arrest is not related to recent events in Ukraine.
Firtash, who controls Group DF, an international conglomerate of companies, remains in Austrian custody unless he meets the bail condition of posting a €125 million bond, which was set today in a Vienna court.
The U.S. government will seek his extradition.
The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The department has worked closely with and has received significant assistance from its law enforcement counterparts in Austria and greatly appreciates their assistance in this matter. Significant assistance was also provided by the Criminal Division's Office of International Affairs.
The Chicago Office of the FBI conducted the investigation.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Lauren Steiner: To our surprise, the regulators didn't try to shut us down. Security didn't storm the room. None of the workshop attendees booed us. So we continued the same chant for three minutes.

Take a look at the pictures below to see these great individuals doing some hard work that isn't part of their day-to-day job description, and enjoying great weather in the process.

Donald's tender can be seen in the signalbox when Percy says "Don't be so daft."
Goof: In the music video entitled "Sir Topham Hatt", it said on there that Thomas had crashed into The Fat Controller's house, but Thomas crashed into the stationmaster's house.
This episode features the third accident to involve a building.
This is the fourth time an engine runs away without a driver.
Donald & Douglas are seen with their nameplates for the first time. The Fat Controller promised them in the previous episode, "The Deputation".
This is the first Season 2 episode seen on "Shining Time Station".
When Toby and Percy are sleeping, look at Toby and notice he appears tilted to the left.
Just before Thomas crashes into the house, the window has no glass fitted in.
When we see a shot of Thomas' wrecked front end after he's been rescued, you can see a bush lying just below his mouth, but when Sir Topham Hatt is talking to him, the bush is covering up his mouth again.
In an interior shot of the house, the people in there are almost as big as Thomas!
Clarabel is facing the wrong way when Thomas comes into Tidmouth station
The Fat Controller: (firmly) You are a very naughty engine.
Thomas: (muffled behind bush) I know, Sir. I'm sorry, Sir.
The Fat Controller: (calmly) You must go to the works and have your front mended. It will be a long job.
Thomas: Yes, Sir.
The Fat Controller: Meanwhile, a diesel rail car will do your work.
Thomas: A-A-A d-diesel, Sir?!
The Fat Controller: Yes, Thomas. Diesels always stay in their sheds 'til they are wanted. Diesels never gallavant off to breakfast in stationmaster's houses.
Donald and Douglas: Dinna fash yerself, Thomas! We'll soon have ya back on the rails!
Thomas: Silly stick-in-the-muds. I'll show them. Driver said I could manage without him. I'll just go out. Then I'll stop and WHEESH! That'll make them jump!
Thomas: Driver says I don't need him now.
Percy: Don't be so daft!
Toby: I'd never go without my Driver. I'd be frightened.
Thomas: (scoffs) I'm not scared!
Toby: You'd never dare!
Thomas: I would then. You'll see!
Thomas: Horrors!
Stationmaster's wife: You miserable engine! Just look what you've done to our breakfast! Now I shall have to cook some more!
Driver: You know just where to stop, Thomas. You could almost manage it without me!
Stock footage from "Thomas and the Guard" is used.
Appearances by Thomas, Percy, Toby, Donald & Douglas and the Fat Controller.
A Limited Edition Wooden Railway model was made based on this episode. It featured Thomas just after he crashed into the Station Master's house. 50,000 were made.
In America, this is the first time Toby, and Donald & Douglas are seen.
In the shot when the narration says "The Stationmaster was furious", a painting of an engine with a face can just be seen to the right (widescreen mode recommended).

Blue Jays 4, Cardinals 1
TORONTO (AP)—Roy Halladay feels he is pitching as well as he did in 2003, when he won the American League Cy Young Award. The statistics show he is better.
Halladay pitched a five-hitter for his major league-leading fifth complete game, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Monday night.
Halladay (10-3) has won six of his last seven starts and is tied with Chicago's Jon Garland for the most wins in the AL.
Asked if this season is better than his Cy Young year, Halladay said: "It's tough to say, but as far as goals and preparation it's the same."
It's a little clearer when comparing the numbers.
Halladay needed 16 starts to win his 10th game in 2003 and he had a 3.82 ERA at that point.
This season, he reached 10 wins in 14 starts and has an ERA 2.33, significantly better.
"He's having some kind of year," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "He's in an elite class and that's what those kind of pitchers do."
The 28-year-old right-hander struck out five and walked none for his 20th career complete game.
Halladay leads the AL with 108 innings. He won just eight games last season because of a troublesome right shoulder.
Shea Hillenbrand homered for the Blue Jays, who reached .500 again (32-32) by ending a four-game losing streak. Toronto played its first home game following a 4-9 road trip.
The Cardinals raved about Halladay after facing him for the first time.
St. Louis outfielder Larry Walker called him "pretty much nasty."
"He didn't win a Cy Young by fluke," said Walker, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
David Eckstein added: "I don't think film does Halladay justice. You don't understand how hard he's throwing the ball with that much movement."
John Mabry homered for the Cardinals, who have lost just four of their last 22 interleague games. Center fielder Jim Edmonds was a late scratch because of bruised ribs. He said he didn't think he'd play Tuesday.
Alex Rios led off Toronto's first with a double, advanced to third on a grounder and scored on Vernon Wells' sacrifice fly. Hillenbrand followed with a homer off Jeff Suppan (5-6).
Suppan plunked Hillebrand in his next at-bat, prompting plate umpire Bob Davidson to warn Suppan and both dugouts. No further incidents occured.
Rookie Aaron Hill doubled in the second and scored on rookie Russ Adams' RBI single.
Suppan allowed three runs on eight hits in seven innings.
"Three runs in seven innings, that's a quality job when you are facing a guy like Halladay," St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said. "He hung with it and gave us a chance."
Mabry homered off Halladay in the fourth, cutting Toronto's lead to 3-1.
Toronto's Reed Johnson added an RBI single in the eighth off Cal Eldred.
