Wireless Comms Calculator
dB Calculator
PLEASE NOTE: Calculations based on correlated vs uncorrelated levels yield very different results. If you see an unexpected result, please verify the uncorrelated/correlated setting of this app first !
This tools helps to add and subtract an arbitrary number of power levels expressed in units of dBm and watt.
This tools helps to add and subtract correlated and uncorrelated voltage levels.
This tool calculates for an entry using a unit such as dBm, dBW, mW, W, mV, V, dBV, dBµV and dBu the corresponding values for all other units, for individual impedance values.

Interference Hunter
FieldStrength & PowerEstimator
Additionally the input power into a receiver with 50 Ohm input impedance is calculated from the gain of the receiving antenna.
The program automatically converts power flux density into electric and magnetic field strength.
Depending on the transmitted frequency, various parameters influence the received power and field strength, such as non-line-of-sight propagation, changes in polarisation, reflections, and multi-path propagation affect the true values. Additionally antenna VSWR and cable losses have to be considered.
The program Field Strength and Power Estimator does not consider these impairments. It assumes conditions, that are close to the best possible theoretical values. This is why we say the program is an Estimator, not a Calculator.
Quick Start
To start calculation, just select a row by touching it and change a specific value.
After touching the "Estimator" button in order to return to the main menu, the dependent values are calculated automatically.
The results are displayed with 3 decimal places only (except the antenna gain values, which are displayed with 1 decimal place).
If you change a unit, the corresponding numerical values are converted.
For example: 1 mW gives 0 dBm if the unit is changed from mW to dBm. Be careful not to change a zero linear value to dB.
It is also possible to enter the values with "m" for milli, "M" for mega, "u" for micro, etc.
When changing the values for Frequency, Antenna Gain Transmitter, Antenna Gain Receiver or Distance, all other values are recalculated using the set Transmitted Power.
When changing one of the other values however, Frequency, Antenna Gain Transmitter, Antenna Gain Receiver and Distance will keep their values (the "Persistant Data" values).
Be careful: If you enter a Distance value, which is smaller than 0.159 times the wavelength
( D < Lambda / (2*Pi) ), the distance field becomes yellow as a warning for leaving the far-field condition.
This application is based on the application note:

Aviation RF Link
The program Aviation RF Link allows quick calculation of the forward link from a ground station to an aircraft. Based on the RF power of the ground station, the tool calculates the distance with a given field strength to be achieved at the aircraft antenna or calculates the field strength at a given power and distance to the aircraft.
The tool calculates the path loss based on line-of-sight (LOS) conditions and does not take into account multipath propagation on the ground.
In addition to the RF path, the tool calculates the radio horizon based on the given height of the aircraft and the ground station. If the calculated LOS is lower than the distance that can be achieved with the given radio conditions, this is indicated by a red dot on the LOS tab. In this case, the radio horizon is the limiting factor and not the RF link budget.
The line of sight is calculated in accordance with ICAO Annex 10 Vol. V.
The default for the antenna gain of 2.14 dBi corresponds to an omni directional antenna.
The default for the field strength of 75 uV/m corresponds to the ICAO recommendation for minimum reception at the aircraft antenna.
Quick start
To start calculation, just select a row by touching it and change a specific value.
After touching the "Return" button, the dependent values are calculated automatically.
If any value other than distance is changed, the distance is recalculated. If distance is changed, the field strength is recalculated.
If you change a unit, the corresponding numerical values are converted. For example: 1 mW yields 0 dBm if the unit is changed from mW to dBm. Also conversion between feet and meters, and between nautical miles and kilometers is performed.

Sun Microsystems buys MySQL
- 16 January 2008
- By Sam Varghese
- Published in Open Sauce
Sun Microsystems has announced that it will be buying the best known open source database company, MySQL, for $US1 billion.
According to the announcement, around $US800 million cash will be paid in exchange for MySQL stock and some $US200 million in options will be taken on by Sun.
Millions of websites are built using the LAMP stack - and MySQL is the M in that acronym, with the others being Linux, Apache and PHP/Perl.
MySQL chief executive Marten Mickos will join the Sun executive leadership team after the deal is finalised.
The move will bring Sun up against Oracle, the world's largest database company, but will certainly improve Sun's standing with the open source community.
The idea of buying an open source database has been floating around at Sun for some time; nearly three years ago, then chief executive Scott McNealy was reported by News.com as raising the idea during a meeting of financial analysts.
The same report also said that Jonathan Schwartz, then president, and the current chief executive, told an interviewer that Sun was looking at database software as one way of extending its footprint into the open source realm.
Sun already supports the other well-known open source database, PostgreSQL on its Solaris operating system. And many companies run Oracle on Solaris.
This means that every big IT company has a major open source offering - Microsoft is the only odd man out.
In his blog, Schwartz wrote : "Until now, no platform vendor has assembled all the core elements of a completely open source operating system for the internet. No company has been able to deliver a comprehensive alternative to the leading proprietary OS.
"With this acquisition, we will have done just that - positioned Sun at the center (sic) of the web, as the definitive provider of high performance platforms for the web economy."

BOOM! Studios, which already releases comics based on Adventure Time and Regular Show, has signed a deal with Cartoon Network that gives the publisher to option the cable channel's original comedies.
The agreement kicks off in August with Steven Universe, based on the new animated comedy by Rebecca Sugar (Adventure Time) about a boy named Steven and a team of magical Guardians of the Universe. BOOM! teased the comic in October, ahead of the show's November premiere, with a sneak peek in the Adventure Time 2013 Spoooktacular.
BOOM! began its partnership in February 2012 with the debut, under the KaBOOM! imprint, of Adventure Time, which has transformed into a hit franchise with spinoff limited series and original graphic novels.
"Our partners at Cartoon Network have a stellar lineup of new shows that we are looking forward to publish as equally stellar all-ages comics, following the tremendous success of Adventure Time and Regular Show," BOOM! Studios CEO Ross Richie said in a statement. "Steven Universe has that same edginess that will resonate with readers — and that's just the beginning."

Photo Flash: First Look at GRUPO CORPO, Making Houston Debut, 3/14
The dream child of the Pederneiras family - brothers Paulo, Pedro, Rodrigo, José Luis and sister Miriam - Brazil's Grupo Corpo ("Body Group") was founded in 1975 in the city of Belo Horizonte. Grupo Corpo creates a vibrant and seamless blend of ballet's poise and modern dance's spirit. While in Houston, the Company will perform two works, ímã and Sem Mim, showcasing the dancers virtuosity, as well as choreographer Rodrigo Pederniras' fusion of ballet, modern, ballroom and Afro-Brazilian dance idioms.
The principles of interdependence and complementarity that govern human relationships serve as Rodrigo Pederneiras' creative point of departure for ímã (which means magnet in Portuguese). Set to a jazzy score by the Brazilian trio +2, the piece opens with dancers shuffling horizontally across the stage and is punctuated by constant alternation between a full and empty stage. Solos, duos and smaller and larger groups form and dissipate throughout the performance as in an incessant game of union and dispersion.
Tickets range from $35-$65 and can be purchased online at www.spahouston.org, by phone at 713-227-4772 or at the courtyard level ticket office at Jones Hall located at 615 Louisiana St. Hours of operation: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday. For groups of 15 or more call 713-632-8113.

One pig will not be resigned to its fate.
The motorists who captured the feat somewhere in South America were driving behind a truck, presumably en route to a slaughterhouse, when the pig decided to make that final leap to freedom instead of becoming somebody's strip of bacon.
Do we have a pork Chicken Run on our hands? How aware do we think these pigs actually are to their short lives of being fattened up only to end up on a human's breakfast or dinner plate? Or was it just dumb luck?
We can only guess what happened to the pig, but let's hope it's not so bitter as to start its own version of Animal Farm. That whole "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" ideology didn't really work well for anyone involved.

As part of their methodical mission, the cleaners also follow lengthy, room-specific checklists, making sure to thoroughly wipe down everything from the kitchen's microwave to the bedroom nightstand's microwave.1396 E Lazy JakeVail, AZ US

Ahh, moving house. One of life's great pleasures, in my book right up there with unblocking foul-smelling drains and painting acres of skirting board with white gloss. Which is ironic, because I have done all three in the past few weeks...
Has any car in Auto Express's history had such a hard first few months as our VX Turbo? When we first wrote about KE03 HKX in issue 767, it had done only 875 miles.
Life is full of risks. From ordering a new dish at your favourite restaurant, to sending your credit card details down the phoneline for an Internet purchase, modern living has made gamblers of us all.
"How should we photograph our long-term Mazda 2?" That was the question I had to consider over the weekend. Should we demonstrate its versatility by loading it full of packing crates ready for my impending house move?
It's early August, and our brand new Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ-300 is missing. Where its bright yellow bodywork once sat in the street, there's now a huge gap.
It was a perfect summer for drop-top owners. Day after day of cloudless blue skies meant there was no excuse for keeping the roof raised. And so our Audi A4's fully automatic hood mechanism was put to good use.
It's hard to believe that the RAV4 has been with us for a year; it seems like only last week it bounced into our car park, full of the joys of... er, autumn. So has it been a rewarding 12 months with GX52EEM? You bet.
If you'd rather keep your money in your wallet than in your fuel tank, you should take a look at Ford's most frugal Fiesta. Over our one-year test, we've found the TDCi LX to be one of the most economical long-termers we have ever had.
They say motorsport is expensive, but our paddock bus for this year's Uniroyal Team Challenge proves that not every aspect has to be - our VW Sharan made the annual pilgrimage to Spa in Belgium and back on little more than a tank of fuel.
There's something therapeutic about cleaning a car; you get a real satisfaction from washing away grime and restoring your motor to pristine condition.

Soon to be twenty seven I would like to think I made a lot of progress in the art of getting dressed. I won't tell you how to dress like a French girl, in fact I would never want to tell you how to dress at all. So what I will tell you instead is the things I have learned, done, collected, bought, thrown out, altered etc within my wardrobe that have made getting dressed much easier for me, and hopefully can for you too, no matter what style it is your going for.

City plans next steps as annexation, initiative/referendum are certified
May 20, 2015
Now that the vote overwhelmingly in favor of the annexation of Klahanie and some surrounding neighborhoods has been finalized, the next step is Sammamish City Council action to formally request the annexation.
According to final numbers from King County elections, the annexation question passed 2,467 to 400, or 86 percent to 13.9 percent.
With advisory vote passing, council will look at initiatives, referenda
May 5, 2015
The Sammamish City Council already has a study session set up to tackle the issue of handling residents' initiative and referendum rights.
That session is set for a council work session June 9, Mayor Tom Vance said.
"It's a chance to discuss the issue," he added.
Editorial — Get ready for election season
April 29, 2015
If you've been thinking about taking on an important leadership role within the city of Sammamish, the time has come to take the next step. Candidates must file for election by May 15.
Voters face three issues on ballot
April 21, 2015
Sammamish and Klahanie-area voters have two local issues and one countywide question before them in the April 28 special election.
Mail-in ballots were sent to registered voters April 8.
Editorial — Approve the city's two ballot measures
April 14, 2015
Voters are receiving their ballots and need to decide two important issues in this April 28 special election.
Proposition No. 1 — Klahanie Annexation
The Sammamish City Council is calling for an election on the proposed annexation of the Klahanie Potential Annexation Area, about 1,240 acres currently located in unincorporated King County.
Letters to the Editor
April 14, 2015
Vote 'yes' for initiative and referendum rights
As a former councilmember and deputy mayor in December 2012, I advocated for Sammamish to have the opportunity to grant citizens the rights of initiative and referendum, and was in favor of asking city staff to craft an ordinance granting those powers.
First candidate announces for Sammamish City Council
April 7, 2015
The election is months away, but the first candidate has formally announced her candidacy for Sammamish City Council.
Christie Malchow has lived in Sammamish with her husband and two children for 14 years. She has an MBA from Regis University in Denver and worked in the medical device and biotechnology industries, but left when she had the first of her children.
Editorial — Reject Initiative 1351; election endorsements
October 28, 2014
Initiative 1351 is being called The Washington Class Size Reduction Measure. The name is intended to appeal to an electorate with short attention spans and little time for or interest in details. A recent Elway Poll revealed that 66 percent of those polled say they will definitely or probably vote in favor of Initiative 1351.
Election results finalized
September 3, 2014
Final primary election results differed little from election night, setting the stage for the November general election.
In the judicial race, Lisa O'Toole, of Newcastle, looks like she could cruise to victory, having garnered more than 60.5 percent of the primary vote in a three-way race. Her opponent will be Sammamish's Marcus Naylor, who earned a little more than 20 percent. Snoqualmie's Rick Leo got 19 percent, and will not move on to the general election.
The only other contested race in Sammamish was for U.S. Congress, where incumbent Rep. Dave Reichert (R-8) also looks good in November. He won nearly 59 percent of the vote in another three-way primary. Jason Ritchie (D) got almost 32 percent while Keith Arnold got less than 9 percent. Reichert and Ritchie will appear on the general election ballot.
Parks Levy passes, Constantine dominates
August 6, 2013
New: Aug. 6, 8:47 p.m.
King County voters sure like their parks and their County Executive.
As the first batch of mail in ballots were released by King County Elections Aug. 6, both issues which appeared on Sammamish ballots posted decisive victories.

Customer reviews
By Emma Harkin 06 Jul 2011
An excellent sequal to "Before the Storm". I was a little put off by the ending of the last book, but this one makes up for it. An incident at the beginning made it difficult to not want to skip ahead and find out the answers, hence why i ended up finishing the book in 2 days! This book goes back in time a lot, and you end up hearing about the same incident but by each character's perspective. I enjoyed this; however some readers might find this a bit boring. But I think the character twists should keep one entertained!

Just to be clear this is in no way Jamaican jerk. Belize tends not to have the same spice as Jamaica. With that said it was by far the best jerk chicken in Belize. The meal was outstanding and at a very good price.
The food was GREAT! there was a good amount of food for the price! Jerk chicken was the best that i have had! Only downside is that there is no drinks for sale. We fixed that the next time we went (we just brought along our own soft drinks) Also if you aren't a fan of flys swarming your food...
Jerk chicken was amazing and vegetarian options too! Low key and great friendly service. A must go if you are on San Pedro. Catch them when their open, we tried a few times and they were closed.
This place is fantastic! The food [in our case, just chicken] was delish and the portions are big. For the $ this place is a great value even if you just get it to takeout to bring back for everyone else in your condo that hasn't tried it yet.
I would say that you may need to bring exact change...
Robin has a small area set up and his BBQ jerk chicken is amazingly delicious. You have to try this place. It's cheap, it's fast, it's amazing. We stay at Mata Rocks and his place is almost directly across the road.
I visit San Pedro regularly and I always head to Robin's kitchen. Jerk chicken is so good! Can't go wrong with any of the dishes. A must try.
awesome place,delicious Louisiana Style jerk chicken was to lick fingerss,owner is the cook on the grill,lots of people but just understandable ,food is deliciouss,prices not bad,can use some more air but not too hit today anyway,good choice,last day here in Belize,but hope we will be back soon ,i likedd it!!
A great jerk chicken and fixin's on the south end of town. Unassuming, no frills, inexpensive- just great local food that needs to be on everyone's itenary.
Always great…. Robin's jerk chicken. A must for your visit in Ambergris Caye. The only problem I find is sometimes we arrive and have to wait quite a while for food (it's cooking)… or one time they had run out of chicken. They offered to put more on the BBQ but we declined.
This place is great, no frills amazing chicken. The staff is always friendly, and the food (chicken) is always amazing. robin's offers "my cousin vinny" style ordering, ex: at lunch you order lunch, at dinner, you order dinner. Which I always find amusing, but with chicken this good, why make other items? Dinner was chicken, rice and beans, and some...

Celebrating Community and Sharing the Joy of Music
The Healdsburg Chorus is a beloved musical institution in Sonoma County. We have performed in Healdsburg, Windsor, and Santa Rosa for over 26 years, and we're well known for our twice-yearly concerts of popular and holiday songs. We'd love to have you attend a concert and hear us sing — or better yet, join the chorus and sing with us!
The Healdsburg Chorus is a non-profit organization made up of members from throughout Sonoma County. We come together to sing and share our musical enthusiasm with our community. We enjoy performing all types of vocal music: holiday favorites, pop standards, Broadway and movie hits, ethnic songs, and even the occasional country or rock number.
We're looking forward to singing holiday and winter-themed songs in December, 2015, but for now the Chorus is on break for the summer. If you'd like to receive an email when we have scheduled dates for our Winter concerts, please click on the Concerts & Tickets tab above and subscribe to our mailing list. In the meantime, have a wonderful summer!
Come and sing with us! If you can carry a tune and love singing, you are welcome to join us. You do not need to read music to join, and no auditions are required. All we require is that you regularly attend rehearsals and learn the music in preparation for concerts.
What a wonderful Spring season we've had! Thank you to all our supporters and audience members. We so enjoyed singing our "Songs from Stage and Screen" for you, and we appreciate the enthusiastic response we received. We'd also like to extend a big thank you to the volunteers who helped us put on our concerts. We couldn't do what we do without the help and support you give us!

Hey my names Adam. I love meeting new people and sharing new experiences with them. I have been working as a firefighter in NSW for a bit over 4 and half years now. I love it, its such an amazing job, and the blokes i work with are some of the greatest people ive ever met. My second greatest passion would have to be keeping fit. Whether im at the gym, rock climbing or just going for a run, I love being active. I have been naturally bodybuilding for about a year and a half now. I had my first competition on the 6th of May (2 weeks before I went to America) and I placed 7th out of 19 in my age catagory! I was totally stoked about that result :D I also spent 5 months in 2012 working and travelling in the USA. I worked in a summer camp in Pennsylvania for 4 months then travelled the east and west coast for a month afterwards. Met so many people and did so many amazing things! Looking forward to my next trip where ever that might be :D
Recently I have had the opportunity to be a part of the 2014 NSW Firefighter Calendar. Its a privately run organisation, where members of the calendar volunteer their time, to go and raise money for the Burns Unit, at Westmead Childrens Hospital. So far we have raised over $200,000 dollars to date for the unit, and still have a whole year of sales to go on top of that. It has been such a great experience to be a part of this, as its all for such a great cause and is a whole lot of fun.

When you can grasp just how infinite the universe is, it shows that nothing we would ever do, could ever effect it. So why worry about insignificant problems, and just live our lives being who we want to be, not what, but who, and enriching the lives of those around us.
I have a combined living room with a comfy couch, and I also have a sofa that folds out. If those dont work out, Ill give up my bed :)
I have hosted some great people here in Australia, and I was lucky enough to stay with so many amazing and awesome people during my travels around the USA!
Firefighting, going to the gym, rock climbing, going for a walk or run, going for random drives, going hiking or bush walking, getting lost and having to find your way home XD (mostly accidently), love meeting new people and sharing experiences and stories
I pretty much watch any movies and listen to every time of music. I dont read too many books thou :P
As a firefighter I see and do amazing things all the time. I have heaps of stories to tell, just ask if you want to hear one :)
I have also worked in a summer camp in the USA and travelled all over the USA afterwards.

|Route Climbed: NW slope Date Climbed: March 2003
|My wife Elena and I headed up the Mill Creek Canyon for a one-day climbing. The Mill Creek Jump-Off is the major objective and the summit is the second. Saw some wet-avys (after the recent storms) and a lot of rockfalls on the northern side of the canyon. Wear a helmet and be reasonable about the season. Otherwise - a great climbing (a rare class 3 on the snow in SoCal).
|Posted Aug 8, 2003 4:18 am
|Route Climbed: One of the NW chutes (via Mill Creek Canyon/Wash) Date Climbed: February 22, 2003
|Climbed with mdostby. You start at the Vivian Creek parking lot and keep going up the Mill Creek drainage 'til you can see the headwall. We took one of the NW chutes. The chute got steeper at the top before we top out onto the ridge. We climbed mixed sections of snow & rock with crampons on and 1 ice axe on hand. Also, watch out for rock fall later in the morning (helmet recommended). Follow the ridge to the summit. Great views of Jepson Peak, San Gorgonio, San Bernardino ridge. We descended towards the saddle at the Mill Creek headwall/jumpoff (8456' at the lowest point on saddle). We stayed towards the left of the headwall as we were coming down. An interesting day as we saw Search & Rescue personnel and an helicopter in the morning looking for a missing person on Feb 22, 2003.
|Posted Feb 27, 2003 4:24 pm
|Route Climbed: via the Mill Creek Wash Date Climbed: February 22, 2003
|Nice Winter climb with Spring like conditions. Climbed with SummitPost member forjan. Instead of climbing the headwall we climbed one of the steep chutes on the South side of Mill Creek Canyon. Fun day!

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 11/8/11
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers linebacker Frank Zombo fears that his season-long string of injuries are ruining his chance to play in the NFL. Zombo's third injury of the season a hamstring strain will keep him out of the lineup in Green Bay's next game. It will be the eighth time in 10 games this season that an injury will force Zombo out of action. "I'm trying not to be scared, but, are my chances running out on me?" Zombo said at his locker Tuesday. "I'm trying to stay as long as I can and little things are just keeping me away from it. It's frustrating. It's taking its toll. Zombo suffered the hamstring strain in the third quarter of the Packers' Week 9 win in San Diego. He missed the first five games of the season with a shoulder injury, but once Zombo was back on the field, he hyper-extended his knee and missed the next game. "How many more times can this happen to me?" Zombo said. "Obviously I'm just really frustrated and the best thing to do is stay positive, but it's hard...

Anxiety is a general term for numerous disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension and worrying. This affects the way that we feel and behave and can manifest in physical symptoms. If you suffer from anxiety for extended periods of time and it become debilitating and impacts your daily life then you may need to seek a professional opinion.
There are many different ways of how to deal with anxiety and here are just a few of the basics:
- Make lifestyle changes to combat anxious feelings, eliminating anxiety-inducing food/drink from your diet can do this. Changing the way you eat can impact your anxiety levels; here are a few anxiety provokers that you might want to avoid:
- If you drink coffee every morning try changing to decaffeinated tea or just water for a few weeks. You will notice reduced stress levels in those weeks.
- Alcohol, this is one of the most common triggers of anxiety. After a hard day at work people tend to unwind with a few drinks that make you feel stress free but shortly thereafter this feeling of relaxation gets cancelled out.
- You can add mood-enhancing foods to your diet consuming nutrients that allow your body to fight anxiety.
- Foods that contain Gamma-linoleic acid or omega 6 fatty acids.
- Antioxidants such as acai berries or blueberries.
- Foods high in magnesium and potassium such as bran, fish, almonds, dark chocolate, and pumpkin seeds. It has been proven a lack of magnesium leads to increased anxiety.
- Exercise is also a way to combat anxiety and relieve its symptoms, regular exercise creates feelings of well being during and post exercise.
- Cardiovascular exercise such as running, weight building and bike riding can help reduce anxiety
- Yoga is one of the more common exercises done to fight anxiety as the self-reflection and calm environment allow for relaxation.
- Deep breathing exercises are highly recommended for anxiety sufferers, when we are stressed, we breathe faster in in shorter breaths.
- Meditation and Slowing down the breathing allows more air through the lungs thereby decreasing blood pressure and relaxing the muscles.
- Get plenty of sleep to reduce anxiety caused by excess cortisol in your system. Cortisol is a hormone and in high levels causes stress and anxiety, so make sure you get the recommended 8-9 hours of sleep every night.
- Try going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This regulates the sleep cycle and results in better sleep.
- If you have a hard time falling asleep try taking melatonin supplements from a pharmacy or health shop.
- In this technology driven era this next one is a hard one but a must do- avoid your phone, laptop and television an hour before bed. These are common sources of anxiety; the bright light that comes from them disrupts sleep and prevents melatonin production.
- Confront the source of the anxiety if you can control it, keep a journal to gauge you anxious moments and figure out the cause of the stress. If you cannot control the source of the anxiety then try to avoid it, if people cause you anxiety then confront them and make changes so that you don't have to deal with them. If the anxiety is caused by work or school then take time out and remove yourself from the situation by turning off your cell phone and not checking your email.
- Natural herbal methods to decrease anxiety such as the following:
- Chamomile supplements or tea, the chamomile flower is known for its calming effect.
- Ginseng is also known to relieve stress and taking a supplement could help.
- Valerian root is a popular sedative and can be taken during severe bouts of anxiety.
As a more extreme action you can seek the help of a professional to determine if you should be put on medication to deal with your anxiety. You will have to see a therapist if the anxiety is chronic and you feel it might be anxiety disorder. If you suffer from extreme social anxiety, panic attacks, and prolonged anxiety then it might be time to consider medication.

Wal-Mart's 1Q profit, sales disappointBy ANNE DINNOCENZIO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 17,2013AP PHOTO
A worker pushes shopping carts in front of a Wal-Mart store in La Habra, Calif.NEW YORK It was a tough quarter for Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
The worlds largest retailer reported Thursday that its first-quarter profit edged up slightly, but the company struggled with a sales slump in its namesake business.
The company, based in Bentonville, Ark., blamed a payroll tax increase, delayed tax refunds and bad weather for profit and sales results that missed Wall Street expectations.
The company also offered a profit outlook that came below analysts projections.
Wal-Mart is considered an economic bellwether because the retailer accounts for nearly 10 percent of nonautomotive retail spending in the U.S. The companys latest results show that many of its low-income shoppers are struggling even as the job market and housing market are improving.
This is a reality check for Wal-Marts low-income shoppers, said Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisers. The low-income shopper is even more financially stressed than people realize.
A big hurdle for Wal-Marts financially strapped shoppers has been tax changes. An increase in the payroll tax of two percentage points, which took effect Jan. 1, means that a take-home pay for a household earning $50,000 a year has been sliced by $1,000.
Wal-Mart said Thursday that it earned $3.78 billion, or $1.14 per share, in the quarter that ended April 30. That compares with $3.74 billion, or $1.09 per share, a year earlier.
Sales rose 1 percent to $113.43 billion. That figure excludes Sams Club membership fees.
The results fell short of Wall Street expectations for earnings of $1.15 per share on revenue of $115.78 billion.
Wal-Mart reported a 1.4 percent drop in revenue at stores open at least a year at its namesake business, which accounts for about 60 percent of its business. That was the first drop in about a year and a half. At Sams Club, the figure rose a slim 0.2 percent, held down by less traffic from business customers, bad weather and lower-than-expected inflation.
For the total U.S. business, revenue at stores open at least a year fell 1.2 percent, below the 0.4 percent increase that analysts had expected.
Wall Street analysts had expected its U.S. namesake business to be unchanged and were projecting a 1.2 percent rise at Sams Clubs.
Revenue at stores open at least a year is considered a key measurement for retailers because it excludes the effect of stores that open or close during the year.
Internationally, Wal-Mart is facing slower growth amid a global recession.
A bribery scandal also threatens to slow its business overseas. Allegations first surfaced a year ago that Wal-Mart failed to notify law enforcement that company officials authorized millions of dollars in bribes in Mexico to speed up getting building permits and gain other favors. Wal-Mart has been working with government officials in the U.S. and Mexico on that investigation. The company has been strengthening its compliance controls.
Wal-Mart has already slowed its expansion plans in Mexico, and last November it said it was looking into potential U.S. bribery law violations in Brazil, China and India.
Wal-Mart said that it expects earnings per share to be in the range of $1.22 to $1.27 in the current quarter. Analysts had expected $1.29 per share.MORE IN National / World BusinessBEIJING Shares in big state companies soared Monday after promises of government action to... Full StoryATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
