Munich, 7 March 2013 – The technology company The Linde Group continued to give a robust performance in the 2012 financial year, again achieving significant increases in Group revenue and Group operating profit. "We have been able to hold our own, although the climate has worsened in the course of the year," said Professor Dr Wolfgang Reitzle, Chief Executive Officer of Linde AG. "This shows that our business model, which is geared towards sustainability, is working. The stability of the Group has been further strengthened by our acquisition of Lincare."
Against this background, it is with real confidence that Linde looks to the future. "Even though conditions are unlikely to improve, we are sticking to our targets," commented Reitzle. "In the 2013 financial year, we want once again to generate higher Group revenue than in the previous year and to achieve Group operating profit of at least EUR 4 bn." The Group has also set itself new medium-term targets. "We are seeking to generate Group operating profit of at least EUR
5 bn in the 2016 financial year. In that same year, return on capital employed (ROCE) should reach around 14 percent."
Linde continues to see good opportunities for growth especially in global megatrends, energy and the environment, healthcare, and in the emerging economies. "We are determined to seize these opportunities as they arise and to work consistently to enhance the performance of our Group," explained Reitzle. Linde will continue to implement HPO, its holistic concept designed to achieve sustainable efficiency gains, and it plans to reduce total gross costs by a further EUR 750 m to EUR 900 m in the years 2013 to 2016.
In the 2012 financial year, Group revenue grew by 10.8 percent to EUR 15.280 bn (2011: EUR 13.787 bn). After adjusting for exchange rate effects, the increase was 6.4 percent. The newly-acquired Lincare business contributed EUR 630 m to Group revenue. Linde achieved an increase in Group operating profit (EBITDA) of 10.0 percent to EUR 3.530 bn (2011: EUR 3.210 bn). The Group operating margin in the 2012 financial year was 23.1 percent, almost as high as the level achieved in 2011 of 23.3 percent.
Earnings before taxes on income (EBT) rose by 4.2 percent to EUR 1.687 bn (2011: EUR 1.619 bn). Earnings after tax of EUR 1.324 bn were 6.4 percent above the figure for 2011 of EUR 1.244 bn. The amount attributable to Linde AG shareholders was EUR 1.250 bn (2011: EUR 1.174 bn), giving earnings per share of EUR 7.03 (2011: EUR 6.88).
Return on capital employed was 11.5 percent (2011: 13.0 percent)3. When comparing the figures for 2012 and 2011, it is important to note that earnings were adversely affected by impairment losses and the amortisation of fair value adjustments identified in the course of purchase price allocations relating to the acquisitions made by the Group during the 2012 financial year. Another factor to be considered is that many large-scale projects in the on-site business are still in the construction phase and were therefore not yet able to contribute to earnings.
The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Linde AG will propose a resolution at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 May 2013 that a dividend of EUR 2.70 per share be paid. This is an increase of 8.0 percent compared with the prior-year dividend of EUR 2.50.
Gases Division
Linde achieved revenue growth in the Gases Division in 2012 of 13.8 percent to EUR 12.591 bn (2011: EUR 11.061 bn). When considering this increase, the acquisition of Lincare, a transaction completed by Linde in August 2012, should be taken into account. During the reporting period, Lincare contributed EUR 630 m to the total revenue of the Gases Division. On a comparable basis, i.e. after adjusting for exchange rate effects, changes in the price of natural gas and Lincare's post-acquisition revenue, the increase in revenue was 3.8 percent.
The improvement in operating profit in Linde's Gases Division was 11.9 percent. Operating profit rose to EUR 3.403 bn (2011: EUR 3.041 bn), resulting in an operating margin of 27.0 percent (2011: 27.5 percent). When comparing the operating margin with that for the previous year, it should be noted that during the financial year Linde recognised one-off costs resulting from capacity adjustments in the solar industry. In addition, the up-front investment required to expand the business and employ new staff in the growth market of Asia had an adverse impact on earnings and the operating margin in the Gases Division.
Varying business trends were to be seen in the individual segments in the Gases Division, depending on prevailing economic conditions.
In the EMEAsegment (Europe, Middle East, Africa), revenue rose by 5.7 percent to EUR 5.998 bn (2011: EUR 5.672 bn). On a comparable basis, the growth in revenue was 4.1 percent. Operating profit increased by 4.0 percent to EUR 1.700 bn (2011: EUR 1.634 bn). This resulted in an operating margin of 28.3 percent (2011: 28.8 percent). The Continental European homecare operations acquired by Linde from Air Products at the end of April 2012 were one of the factors in the expansion of business in the EMEA region. During the reporting period, these operations contributed EUR 132 m to the total revenue of the EMEA segment.
Business performance in the EMEA segment was adversely affected by unfavourable economic conditions in the eurozone. A planned stoppage for maintenance at a plant in Southern Europe also acted as a brake on revenue trends. In addition, Linde had to recognise total impairment losses in this segment of EUR 43 m in 2012. In Eastern Europe and in the Middle East, Linde was able to benefit from a good economic environment.
In Asia, economic trends remained relatively dynamic. In its Asia/Pacific segment, especially in China, Linde was able to achieve significant growth in revenue and operating profit. The Group also benefited here from its leading position in these markets. In the 2012 financial year, revenue in the Asia/Pacific segment rose by 13.7 percent to EUR 3.498 bn (2011: EUR 3.076 bn). On a comparable basis, the increase in revenue was 5.0 percent.
Operating profit was up 7.2 percent to EUR 935 m (2011: EUR 872 m). This resulted in an operating margin of 26.7 percent (2011: 28.3 percent). When comparing the figures with those of the prior year, a factor to be taken into consideration is the up-front investment required to grow the business, especially in the rapidly expanding Chinese market. Business performance in the reporting period was also adversely affected by temporary plant stoppages.
In the Americas segment, revenue in the 2012 financial year grew by 34.2 percent to EUR 3.200 bn (2011: EUR 2.384 bn). This significant increase was mainly due to the positive contribution made by US homecare company Lincare. Lincare operates solely in North America and contributed EUR 630 m in the 2012 financial year to the total revenue of the Americas segment. On a comparable basis, Linde would have achieved an increase in revenue in this segment of 2.8 percent.
Operating profit rose at a faster rate than sales, by 43.6 percent to EUR 768 m (2011: EUR 535 m). At 24.0 percent, the operating margin significantly exceeded the figure for 2011 of 22.4 percent. The main reason for the increase was the newly-acquired Lincare business.
A comparison between the product areas in the Gases Division reveals that the fastest rate of growth was to be seen, as expected, in the Healthcare business. With newly-acquired homecare company Lincare, revenue here rose by 65.4 percent after adjusting for exchange rate effects to EUR 2.035 bn (2011: EUR 1.230 bn). Without the Lincare contribution, Linde would have achieved an increase in revenue in the Healthcare product area of 14.2 percent.
In the cylinder gas product area, revenue rose to EUR 4.254 bn. On a comparable basis, this was an increase of 1.6 percent when compared with the prior-year figure of EUR 4.188 bn. In the liquefied gases business, revenue increased on a comparable basis by 2.6 percent to EUR 3.381 bn (2011: EUR 3.296 bn). In the on-site business (where Linde supplies gases on site to major customers), revenue grew on a comparable basis by 4.0 percent to EUR 2.921 bn (2011: EUR 2.809 bn). Plant stoppages acted as a brake on trends in this product area. It is also worth noting that Linde achieved most of the growth in the on-site product area through joint ventures and that the Group's share of revenue from these joint ventures is not disclosed in the revenue of the Gases Division.
Gases Division – Outlook
Recent economic forecasts indicate that the global gases market will grow at a somewhat faster rate in 2013 than in 2012. Linde remains committed to its original target in the gases business of outperforming the market and continuing to increase productivity.
In its on-site business, Linde has a healthy project pipeline, which will continue to make a substantial contribution to revenue and earnings trends in the coming years. The Group expects its liquefied gases and cylinder gas product areas to perform in line with macroeconomic trends. In the Healthcare business, Linde anticipates that it will achieve significant increases in revenue and earnings as a result of the acquisitions it has concluded, especially Lincare.
Against this background, Linde expects that revenue generated by the Gases Division in the 2013 and 2014 financial years will continue to increase and that operating profit will improve in both years.
Engineering Division
In its international engineering project business, Linde continued to see relatively steady trends in the 2012 financial year. There was a slight increase in revenue in the Engineering Division of 1.2 percent to EUR 2.561 bn (2011: EUR 2.531 bn). Operating profit improved by 2.6 percent to EUR 312 m (2011: EUR 304 m). The operating margin was 12.2 percent, exceeding the high level achieved in 2011 of 12.0 percent.
There was a strong upward trend in order intake. This rose to EUR 2.815 bn in 2012, 26.0 percent above the figure for 2011 of EUR 2.235 bn. Contributing to this significant increase was the higher number of orders from the Group's Gases Division, a confirmation of the success of Linde's integrated business model. One example of this is a major project in Saudi Arabia awarded by Linde's Gases Division to its Engineering Division in 2012. The project is worth a total of USD 380 m. That part of the project which relates to the Engineering Division involves the turnkey construction of a HyCo plant and an ammonia plant. The new plants will enable Linde to provide Sadara Petrochemical Company in Jubail with long-term supplies of industrial gases.
In its air separation plant business, Linde was awarded some significant contracts in 2012, especially in Asia. In India, for example, the Group will build two large plants for the company Tata Steel Limited on its site in the Kalinganagar industrial complex. Around EUR 80 m will be invested in this project.
As a result of good order trends, the order backlog in the Engineering Division continued to grow. At 31 December 2012, it stood at EUR 3.700 bn (2011: EUR 3.600 bn).
Engineering Division – Outlook
A relatively stable market environment is expected in the international large-scale plant construction business over the next few years. The high order backlog creates a good basis for a solid business performance in the Engineering Division over the next two years. Linde expects to generate the same level of revenue in its plant construction business in the 2013 and 2014 financial years as in 2012. It anticipates that it will achieve an operating margin in 2013 of around 10 percent. Linde is well-positioned in the international market for olefin plants, natural gas plants, air separation plants and hydrogen and synthesis gas plants and will derive lasting benefit in particular from investment in two structural growth areas: energy and the environment.

Peninsula Village
Historic District |
Settled in 1818, Peninsula, on the Cuyahoga River halfway between Cleveland and Akron, is a well-preserved mid-19th-century town, that grew and prospered with the establishment of the Ohio and Erie Canal and the Valley Railroad. The village was platted in 1837 by Herman Bronson. Peninsula was a bustling canal boat stop—home to several mills, stone quarries and boat yards, five hotels and 14 bars until 1887. The Gothic Revival Bronson Memorial Church, originally constructed in 1835 as the Bethel Church, according to William Perrin's History of Summit County (1881) was an attempt to "introduce moral and religious tactics among the vicious and unlawful practices of the canal boatmen." In 1889 the church was remodeled in the Gothic Revival style.
The historic district extends along Main Street and contains many fine examples of early 19th-century architecture. The dominant Greek Revival style reflects popular architectural tastes at the time the area was settled by New Englanders. A notable high style example of the village's Greek Revival architecture is the 1824 Bronson House, built of locally quarried sandstone blocks. Several canal-era houses are typical of the popular Western Reserve New England building type called the Upright-and-Wing, particularly suitable for the early 19th-century Ohio frontier. The main gable-front two-story section contained a parlor and bedchambers, while the kitchen was located in a perpendicular one-story eave oriented section. Other architectural styles include Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Stick and Colonial Revival. The 1886 Stick style Boston Township Hall originally functioned as the village high school. The three-story hip roofed building contains a pyramidal roof tower with an open belfry. The Township Hall is now the Cuyahoga Valley Historical Museum. The Peninsula Village Historic District, in the heart of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is located along State Hwy. 303 in Peninsula . Shops, restaurants, art galleries and a bike shop within the district are open during normal business hours. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park visitor center at Peninsula Depot is open May-August from 10:00am to 4:00pm daily, sporadically at other times, call 216-524-1497. The depot is also a boarding site for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. The Cuyahoga Valley Historical Museum at 1775 Main St. is open from 12:00pm to 4:00pm Wednesdays and Friday-Sunday, and is also available for rentals. Call 330-657-2665 for further information. Portions of the Peninsula Village Historic District have also been documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. Further information is available at Explore Peninsula. |

President Barack Obama remains a significant favorite on the Iowa Electronic Markets (IEM) over Mitt Romney, and political observers think that today's first debate between the two is a good chance for Romney to give some momentum to his campaign.
Recent history has shown that debates have a mixed record of influencing candidates' prices on the IEM.
As of 8:30 a.m. today, Obama was trading at 77.1 cents, which means traders believe he has a 77.1 percent probability of winning the popular vote in next month's election. Romney, meanwhile, was selling for 23.1 cents. Both of those prices are in line with their recent trends, although Romney did spike to 27 cents for a time Tuesday before settling back to his current price.
Whether today's debate influences those prices will be seen in the coming days. But in recent elections, some debates have had more of an impact on the market than others. In 2008, for instance, the first debate led to little change. Obama started trading on Sept. 26, the day of the debate, at 63.3 cents, and John McCain for 37. By the end of the day on Sept. 27, Obama had gone up only to 64.9 cents and McCain had dropped to 36 cents.
In 2004, the gaffe-free first debate had a greater impact on the market. George W. Bush started trading on the day of the debate—Sept. 30—at 78 cents, and John Kerry at 31. By the end of the next day, Bush had fallen 15 cents to 63, and Kerry had jumped to 37.
The opening debate in the 2000 election made for a classic Saturday Night Live sketch, and also had a moderate impact on the IEM. Al Gore jumped from 61.1 cents on debate day—Oct. 3—to 65.9 cents the day after, despite merciless teasing for his frequent use of the term "lockbox." Bush, meanwhile, dropped from 39.6 cents to 32.5.
A real money futures market operated by the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business, the IEM gives traders the opportunity to buy and sell contracts based on what they think the outcome of a future event will be. Contracts for the correct outcome pay off at $1, all other contracts pay off at zero. As a result, the price of the contract at any given time is the probability that the traders believe that event will happen. Traders can invest up to $500 in the market.
The latest general election market prices are available at iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/quotes/Pres12_quotes.html. More information on the IEM—including information on opening a trading account—is available at tippie.uiowa.edu/iem/markets.

Like Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri is a technologist with a long history of leading initiatives in his company.
Meg Whitman, his former boss at HPE, showed her appreciation of Neri's acumen by promoting him to HPE Executive Vice President in 2015 – and gave him the green light to acquire Aruba, SimpliVity, Nimble Storage, and Plexxi, all of which added key items to HPE's portfolio.
Neri succeeded Whitman as CEO just 16 months ago. In a recent interview with Network World, Neri's engineering background was on full display as he explained HPE's technology roadmap.
First and foremost, he sees a huge opportunity in edge computing, into which HPE is investing US$4 billion over four years to further develop edge "connectivity, security, and obviously cloud and analytics."
Although his company abandoned its public cloud efforts in 2015, Neri is also bullish on the self-service "cloud experience," which he asserts HPE is already implementing on-prem today in a software-defined, consumption-driven model.
More fundamentally, he believes we are on the brink of a memory-driven computing revolution, where storage and memory become one and, depending on the use case, various compute engines are brought to bear on zettabytes of data.
This interview, conducted by Network World Editor-in-Chief Eric Knorr and edited for length and clarity, digs into Neri's technology vision. A companion interview on CIO centres on Neri's views of innovation, management, and company culture.
Eric Knorr: Your biggest and highest profile investment so far has been in edge computing. My understanding of edge computing is that we're really talking about mini-data centres, defined by IDC as less than 100 square feet in size. What's the need for a $4 billion investment in that?
Antonio Neri: It's twofold. We focus first on connectivity. Think about Aruba as a platform company, a cloud-enabled company. Now we offer branch solutions and edge data centre solutions that include wireless, LAN, WAN connectivity and soon 5G.
We give you a control plane so that that connectivity experience can be seen consistently the same way. All the policy management, the provisioning and the security aspects of it.
Knorr: Is 5G a big focus?
Neri: It's a big focus for us. What customers are telling us is that it's hard to get 5G inside the building. How you do hand off between 5G and Wi-Fi and give them the same experience?
Because the problem is that we have LAN, wireless, and WAN already fully integrated into the control plane, but 5G sits over here. If you are an enterprise, you have to manage these two pipes independently.
With the new spectrum, though, they are kind of commingling anyway. [Customers ask] why don't you give me [a unified] experience on top of that, with all this policy management and cloud-enablement, so I can provision the right connectivity for the right use case?
A sensor can use a lower radio access or Bluetooth or other type of connectivity because you don't need persistent connectivity and you don't have the power to do it.
In some cases, you just put a SIM on it, and you have 5G, but in another one it's just wireless connectivity. Wi-Fi connectivity is significantly lower cost than 5G.
The use cases will dictate what type of connectivity you need, but the reality is they all want one experience. And we can do that because we have a great platform and a great partnership with MSPs, telcos, and providers.
Knorr: So it sounds like much of your investment is going into that integration.
Neri: The other part is how we provide the ability to provision the right cloud computing at the edge for the right use cases. Think about, for example, a manufacturing floor. We can converge the OT and IT worlds through a converged infrastructure aspect that digitises the analog process into a digital process.
We bring the cloud compute in there, which is fully virtualised and containerised, we integrate Wi-Fi connectivity or LAN connectivity, and we eliminate all these analog processes that are multi-failure touch-points because you have multiple things that have to come together.
That's a great example of a cloud at the edge. And maybe that small cloud is connected to a big cloud which could be in the large data centre, which the customer owns – or it can be one of the largest public cloud providers.
Knorr: It's difficult to talk about the software-defined data centre and private cloud without talking about VMware. Where do your software-defined solutions leave off and where does VMware begin?
Neri: Where we stop is everything below the hypervisor, including the software-defined storage and things like SimpliVity. That has been the advantage we've had with HPE OneView, so we can provision and manage the infrastructure-life-cycle and software-defined aspects at the infrastructure level. And let's not forget security, because we've integrated silicon root of trust into our systems, which is a good advantage for us in the government space.
Then above that we continue to develop capabilities. Customers want choice. That's why the partnership with Nutanix was important. We offer an alternative to vSphere and vCloud Foundation with Nutanix Prism and Acropolis.
Knorr: VMware has become the default for the private cloud, though.
Neri: Obviously, VMware owns 60 percent of the on-prem virtualised environment, but more and more, containers are becoming the way to go in a cloud-native approach.
For us, we own the full container stack, because we base our solution on Kubernetes. We deploy that. That's why the partnership with Nutanix is important. With Nutanix, we offer KVM and the Prism stack and then we're fully integrated with HPE OneView for the rest of the infrastructure.
Knorr: You also offer GKE [Google Kubernetes Engine] on-prem.
Neri: Correct. We're working with Google on the next version of that.
Knorr: How long do you think it will be before you start seeing Kubernetes and containers on bare metal?
Neri: It's an interesting question. Many customers tell us it's like going back to the future. It's like we're paying this tax on the virtualisation layer.
Knorr: Exactly.
Neri: I can go bare metal and containers and be way more efficient. It is a little bit back to the future. But it's a different future.
Knorr: And it makes the promise of hybrid cloud a little more real. I know HPE has been very bullish on hybrid.
Neri: We have been the one to say the world would be hybrid.
Knorr: But today, how hybrid is hybrid really? I mean, you have workloads in the public cloud, you have workloads in a private cloud. Can you really rope it all together into hybrid?
Neri: I think you have to have portability eventually.
Knorr: Eventually. It's not really true now, though.
Neri: No, not true now. If you look at it from the software brokering perspective that makes hybrid very small. We know this eventually has to be all connected, but it's not there yet. More and more of these workloads have to go back and forth.
If you ask me what the CIO role of the future will look like, it would be a service provider. I wake up in the morning, have a screen that says – oh, you know what?
Today it's cheaper to run that app here. I just slice it there and then it just moves. Whatever attributes on the data I want to manage and so forth – oh, today I have capacity here and by the way, why are you not using it? Slide it back here. That's the hybrid world.
Many people, when they started with the cloud, thought, "I'll just virtualize everything," but that's not the cloud. You're virtualising, but you have to make it self-service. Obviously, cloud-native applications have developed that are different today. That's why containers are definitely a much more efficient way, and that's why I agree that the bare-metal piece of this is coming back.
Knorr: Do you worry that public cloud incursions into the data centre?
Neri: It's happening. Of course I'm worried. But what at least gives me comfort is twofold. One is that the customer wants choice. They don't want to be locked in. Service is important. It's one thing to say: Here's the system.
The other is: Who's going to maintain it for me? Who is going to run it for me? And even though you have all the automation tools in the world, somebody has to watch this thing. Our job is to bring the public-cloud experience on prem, so that the customer has that choice.
Knorr: Part of that is economics.
Neri: When you look at economics it's no longer just the cost of compute anymore. What we see more and more is the cost of the data bandwidth back and forth. That's why the first question a customer asks is: Where should I put my data? And that dictates a lot of things, because today the data transfer bill is way higher than the cost of renting a VM.
The other thing is that when you go on the public cloud you can spin up a VM, but the problem is if you don't shut it off, the bill keeps going. We brought, in the context of composability, the ability to shut it off automatically.
That's why composability is important, because we can run, first of all, multi-workloads in the same infrastructure – whether it's bare metal, virtualised or containerised. It's called composable because the software layers of intelligence compose the right solutions from compute, storage, fabric and memory to that workload. When it doesn't need it, it gives it back.
Knorr: Is there any opportunity left at the hardware level to innovate?
Neri: That's why we think about memory-driven computing. Today we have a very CPU-centric approach. This is a limiting factor, and the reality is, if you believe data is the core of the architecture going forward, then the CPU can't be the core of the architecture anymore.
You have a bunch of inefficiency by moving data back and forth across the system, which also creates energy waste and so forth. What we are doing is basically rearchitecting this for once in 70 years.
We take memory and storage and collapse the two into one, so this becomes one central pool, which is nonvolatile and becomes the core. And then we bring the right computing capability to the data.
In an AI use case, you don't move the data. You bring accelerators or GPUs to the data. For general purpose, you may use an X86, and maybe in video transcoding, you use an ARM-based architecture. The magic is this: You can do this on zettabytes of data and the benefit is there is no waste, very little power to keep it alive, and it's persistent.
We call this the Generation Z fabric, which is based on a data fabric and silicon photonics. Now we go from copper, which is generating a lot of waste and a lot of heat and energy, to silicon photonics.
So we not only scale this to zettabytes, we can do massive amounts of computation by bringing the right compute at the speed that's needed to the data – and we solve a cost and scale problem too, because copper today costs a significant amount of money, and gold-plated connectors are hundreds of dollars.
We're going to actually implement this capability in silicon photonics in our current architectures by the end of the year. In Synergy, for example, which is a composable blade system, at the back of the rack you can swap from Ethernet to silicon photonics.
It was designed that way. We already prototyped this in a simple 2U chassis with 160 TB of memory and 2000 cores. We were able to process a billion-record database with 55 million combinations of algorithms in less than a minute.
Knorr: So you're not just focusing on the edge, but the core, too.
Neri: As you go down from the cloud to the edge, that architecture actually scales to the smallest things. You can do it on a massive scale or you can do it on a small scale. We will deploy these technologies in our systems architectures now. Once the whole ecosystem is developed, because we also need an ISV ecosystem that can code applications in this new world or you're not taking advantage of it. Also, the current Linux kernel can only handle so much memory, so you have to rewrite the kernel. We are working with two universities to do that.
The hardware will continue to evolve and develop, but there still is a lot of innovation that has to happen. What's holding us back, honestly, is the software.
Knorr: And that's where a lot of your investment is going?
Neri: Correct. Exactly right. Systems software, not application software. It's the system software that makes this infrastructure solution-oriented, workload-optimised, autonomous and efficient.

GRANDVILLE — Historically, photographs in newspapers — particularly big daily newspapers with high-speed presses — have tended to look as if they were etched upon soggy toast.
Part of the problem, the slightly absorbent nature of newsprint, just won't go away. And high-speed printing itself implies a certain degradation of photo quality. Nobody has liked the situation — not publishers, advertisers, editors, photographers or readers — so the industry has devoted a lot of time and money to the problem.
And over the decades, better presses and improved photography technology have brought about remarkable improvements in newspaper color photo reproduction. And now, thanks to X-Rite Inc., another improvement — a major one — seems to have arrived.
The company reports that it has begun customer shipments of its new auto-tracking densitometer, a sensor that rapidly measures and reports the density levels on very small color bars.
That may not sound meaningful to laymen, but to pressmen it means higher quality photos and big savings in scrap paper, ink, press time and considerable personal stress.
Now, X-Rite has manufactured densitometers for decades, but none really could help in newspaper printing because the presses' speed was so great.
But now the technology has caught up
Duane Kluting, vice president and chief financial officer at X-Rite, said there's no way to tell at this point how well the new product will sell in this country or abroad. But he told the Business Journal that the newspaper printing industry so far seems very receptive to the new sensor.
Measuring the density of ink in a newspaper photo is critical, for to produce a full color photo on a newspaper page, that page must run through four units on a press: one for black ink, one for yellow, one for magenta and one for cyan (to laymen, that means red and blue, more or less).
And unless each unit imposes the right density of each ink to mimic the colors in the original photo, the photograph in the newspaper can look anything from muddy to downright bilious.
Years ago, once a newspaper's press run started, it was necessary for pressmen to guesstimate color adjustments by eye and by hand.
It literally meant a race. The pressman examined one of the first copies of the newspaper coming off the press. Then he cast the copy into the trash, and trotted to, say, the black ink font halfway at the other end of the press. There, he would nudge a handle on the ink font, run back to the end of the press, grab a new copy of the paper, thumb it open to the photo in question, throw that paper in the trash, run back to make another adjustment at, say, the blue font, and so forth.
Oh, and that hassle was just for one photo. If the paper held more such color photos, particularly in different sections of the publication, the work and the pressure multiplied accordingly.
Meanwhile, the press was rolling out neatly folded but useless copies of the newspaper that a helper was busily picking up by the armload and hurling into trash bins. And all the while the circulation folks hung around the doorways, scowling and drumming their fingers with ill-concealed impatience.
According to Dan Silvernail, the pressroom manager at the Grand Rapids Press, X-Rite's new densitometer delivers on its promise. The Press served as a test site for the product. "Our press operators loved it," Silvernail said. He termed it "a great feature that will save time in production."
The densitometer reads not the photos themselves, but a narrow color bar with densities identical to that of the photos. If the densitometer detects, say, too much magenta density or too little yellow, the pressmen can make exact color corrections to bring those densities into line. Then, when they eyeball the product coming off the press, the color should be as near perfection as is possible on newsprint.
Duane Kluting, X-Rite's vice president and chief financial officer, said there's no way to tell at this point what the sale of the new product will mean to X-Rite.
He said the potential market in this country alone is huge, and that — with its long association with the print industry — X-Rite is head and shoulders above its American competitors.
But he told the Business Journal that the newspaper printing industry so far seems very receptive to the device. In fact, Kluting explained that some manufacturers of newspaper printing presses are integrating the densitometer into their new products. In high-end models, he said, the densitometer and its X-Rite-written software automatically can adjust ink densities without a pressman having to lift more than a finger.
Kluting explained that the densitometers come in a number of configurations and that their prices can range from $13,000 to as high as $25,000.

Larry Bird: The Early Years
Photo by Lev Radin / Shutterstock.com
Over the last three decades, no Boston athlete has been written about more than Larry Bird. The man, who turns 56 today, was even the subject of a Broadway play. There isn't much left for the world to discover about him.
At least that's what I thought until about a month ago, when I came across Justin Barrasso's "Bird's Rookie Year" project. The Lynn elementary school teacher/massive Celtics fan—who I happened to go to Hebrew school with when we were kids—is spending the winter revisiting Bird's first year in the NBA. Barrasso isn't just mining Basketball Reference for information. Last summer, he went on eBay and bought the entire set of score sheets from the 1979-80 season. Barrasso scans the box scores, examines each one, and recaps every game. (The posts appear on Bruce Allen's Boston Sports Media site.)
The score sheets look like a high school team manager hastily put them together, but they're amazing artifacts. Here's the one from November 14, 1979:
A few things here immediately jumped out at me. First, Bird notched his first career triple-double in this game. Second, look at the names of the officials. One was Dick Bavetta! That was 33 years ago. He's about to turn 73 and still working NBA games. Scary.
Barrasso doesn't want to stop with recaps. He's hoping to interview former Celtics coach Bill Fitch and underrated Bird teammate Cedric Maxwell, who, as Barrasso pointed out to me, led the NBA in field goal percentage (.609) in 1979-80.
"Larry Bird to me is a myth," Barrasso said. "He retired when we were 9. This helps connect us to him."

Thousands of people have seen videos of the cold-blooded police murder of Oscar Grant in Oakland. On New Year's morning BART police officer Johannes Mehserle fired his gun at point blank range into Oscar Grant's back, killing him as he lay face down on the train platform, hands behind him. A preliminary hearing is now underway to determine whether Mehserle will be charged with murder or whether the charges against him will be lowered. Three days of testimony have already been completed and the hearing will continue on Tuesday, May 26.
This unusual preliminary examination, where the defense is calling its own witnesses, points to the maneuvering of the system and the high stakes in the case. At the vast majority of preliminary hearings in California, the district attorney is the only one to put on witnesses, and the defense only puts on witnesses at trial. But Mehserle's attorney is using this hearing as an opportunity to put on witnesses to try and lay the groundwork to legally justify this cold-blooded murder and create broad public opinion that Mehserle is innocent.
The courtroom in Oakland was packed as outside about 150 people held a rally against the cold-blooded police murder of Oscar Grant. The following is a reporter's notebook from the hearing so far.
Five videos by five witnesses played in court
The district attorney called five witnesses who had filmed what happened at the BART station that night. Karina Vargas described how the train was crammed to the gills with people "talking, laughing and having a good time."
When the train pulled into the Fruitvale station, she heard a commotion near the car directly in front of hers: an angry voice, "You and you get the fuck off the train." Others testified that another cop, Tony Pirone, came to the train door and shouted, "I know who you are." "Get off the train before I pull you out."
Karina saw Oscar Grant and others being lined up against the wall and she started filming. At a certain point she stopped because she thought the youth were just going to be detained or arrested. Then she heard people on the BART start yelling, "Oooh" and she popped out the door and turned her camera back on.
She saw Officer Pirone grab Oscar and throw him against the wall. According to the witnesses and the videos, people on the train were yelling at the police to stop, saying that it was "police brutality" and shouting "Rodney King."
All of the people who shot videos said that when Mehserle grabbed Oscar and forced him on his stomach, and when Pirone put his knee on Oscar's neck, that Oscar was not resisting but was cooperating. Karina noticed the red light of the taser being shined on all the youth against the wall.
When she heard the shot she dropped her camera and it hung from the strap around her neck. She saw smoke (from the gun) and saw Oscar on his belly, his chest going up and down, she saw on his face that he was struggling to breathe.
Terrified, she and others ran back on the train yelling, "They shot him, they just shot him." In her video you can hear her say "I got you motherfuckers." She said the female officer was behind her as the doors closed, banging on the window. Other passengers told her that the cop was demanding her camera.
During her testimony, the video she recorded was played. Members of Oscar Grant's family cried quietly as the minutes of Oscar's murder showed on the big screen, much crisper and clearer than the YouTube versions. Many in the courtroom flinched as they heard the shot.
Karina said her friends could not believe the police had fired a gun and they tried to convince her it was a taser. But when she heard Oscar had died, she called her mom and her mom told her to get the video on the air. During her testimony it was revealed that BART did have a surveillance video cam that caught at least part of the events that night: something BART has previously denied. This video has not yet been shown in court.
Karina said that after Oscar was shot, Pirone and Mehserle turned him over and it looked like they were "checking" him. The district attorney asked her if she meant they were searching him. No, she said, not searching him, but checking him to see how he was.
This testimony goes directly up against the claim by Pirone that both he and Mehserle thought the youths were armed. In excerpts of police reports that have been made public, at least two BART police report that Mehserle said of Oscar, after the shooting and in the following days, "I thought he had a gun."
Margarita Carazo, Tommy Cross, Daniel Liu and 16-year-old Jamil Dewar all told the same basic story: They recorded the police because what they saw was wrong.
Cross was so shaken by what he had seen that for weeks he could not sleep, and he could not go past the Fruitvale Station without hyperventilating. But he said that he was glad he filmed it because, without the videos, "the police might have tried to sweep it under the carpet."
In their testimony, these witnesses painted a picture of the widespread outrage of the passengers on the train watching the brutality of the police. Their courage in filming the crime and fighting for the truth and for justice in this case is a striking and important element of this struggle.
Mehserle's partner caught testi-lying
On Wednesday Mehserle's attorney called BART Officer Woffinden, the cop who was Mehserle's partner on New Year's Eve, to the stand.
Woffinden told the story of a scene in which the police were "outnumbered" by victims. He said he could hear "commotion," yelling and screaming over the police radio call from the Fruitvale Station. He described a feeling of foreboding, that as he and Mehserle drove to Fruitvale he was uncertain and his adrenaline was pumping.
He said that when he got there he saw the youth, who were lined up against the wall being handled by two police, and instantly formed a "one-person skirmish line" between them and another group of 4-5 young men who kept "advancing" on him, screaming vulgarities and "racist slurs." He said that the youth showed no respect for authority and did not stop until he threatened them with his baton. He said he was extremely scared the whole time.
This testi-lying was ripped apart when Woffinden was cross-examined by the DA. Woffinden admitted that the call to the Fruitvale Station was only about a misdemeanor battery. And when confronted with one of the videos played at slow motion, he could not point out a single frame to show his claims that he had repeated exchanges with "threatening," cursing young men. Nor that they were "advancing" upon him as he had claimed. He said he could "not recall" and declined to expand on what he had written in his report or what he had just testified to.
The video showed what people around the world have seen, that it was the officers initiating and committing assaults on compliant detainees. And the video does not show that he ever once raised his baton as he had claimed. Woffinden said that he had tried to call for backup on his radio. When the assistant district attorney asked him how many officers he thought were needed, he replied "20 to 30."
But the district attorney pointed out that each BART officer has an emergency button he can push when in an intense situation. Woffinden admitted he never pushed the emergency button on his radio and, it seems, neither did any of the other six officers who were on the platform that night.
The 'fight'
Dennis Zafiratos, the only one to report the supposed fight, testified for the defense. He said that he thought the fight involved "10-12 young Black males" and a "white male" he identified from a photo shown to him. On cross examination he admitted he didn't like crowds and felt uneasy about how crowded the BART station was before he even got on a train that night in San Francisco, that because of people's "unruly behavior" he waited over an hour before going downstairs onto the platform to board a train with his family.
Dennis Horowitch, the man Zafiratos identified as "fighting" with Oscar, had known Oscar in Santa Rita Jail but said on the stand: "I didn't get in no fight. I'm not going to sit here and say I have a problem with someone." When Mehserle's attorney, Michael Rains, suggested that he was afraid of repercussions to his family from the people fighting for Oscar if he testified, Horowitch retorted that he was more fearful of the police, the way he and his family had been harassed.
Oscar's friends and others there that night say that the men only "wrestled" briefly and that the incident involved only a couple of people, not the "gang" first reported by the media. And Jamil Dewar, a friend of Oscar's, testified that the incident lasted only a couple of minutes and he had helped to break it up before the train even pulled into the station.
Outside the courtroom, the family told the news media that the testimony showed that Woffinden and BART were lying and still trying to cover up and that this needed to be stopped. "Justice needs to be served," said Wanda Johnson, Oscar Grant's mother.
John Burris, the civil attorney representing Oscar Grant's family told the media that no testimony had proved that the youth on the platform had done anything but try to "plead their case" to the BART police. He also commented that Woffinden's statement about all the youth having "clenched fists" is a "classic police argument" to try to justify the police's conduct. He said that Oscar Grant, detained, "contained and surrounded by officers" had done nothing to justify use of a gun nor even a taser.
Resisting arrest?
Rains declared that Oscar Grant was "actively, actively, actively resisting arrest." This is the opposite of what the videos show. And it has so far not been supported by Mehserle's own witnesses except for Alika Rogers, who thought that the police were "struggling with Oscar Grant's hands" trying to handcuff him shortly before he was killed.
But even if the police thought Oscar was resisting in some way, he was face down on the ground, being held down by officer Pirone's knee, surrounded by Mehserle and other cops – what good reason was there to shoot him point blank in the back?
Police murder happens every day under this capitalist system. Yet it usually goes unpunished because the system needs to protect its enforcers. But this time, with at least a half dozen video recordings, a rebellion and continued outcry and protest and widespread attention, many people think that Mehserle will certainly be charged and convicted for murder. But people need to ask themselves: Since when has crystal clear evidence of a cold-blooded murder by the police stopped this system from letting killer cops go free?
Remember the trial of the cops who beat Rodney King? No doubt how that "not guilty" verdict was reached is being carefully studied by Mehserle's attorney. And no doubt the massive rebellion triggered by that "not guilty" verdict haunts those who are trying to figure out how to give the fullest backing to murderous cops – without driving all kinds of people into bitter anger and opposition.
The stakes of this case – and this particular juncture of this hearing – are very high. The defense is using this hearing to drum up public opinion in favor of Mehserle, trying to provide the legal grounds and political support for the judge to let Mehserle off the hook. At this hearing the judge can actually decide to throw this case out, or the charges against Mehserle can be significantly reduced – which would also be an outrage.
In this situation, the political struggle of the people to demand justice for Oscar Grant is extremely important and can make a great deal of difference.
The hearing continues on Tuesday when Johannes Mehserle's lawyer will call more witnesses. Oscar Grant's family urges everyone who can to attend the hearing – at the Alameda County Courthouse, 1225 Fallon, 12th Street and Oak, Oakland – and rallies on the steps through the week. Coming by for even a few minutes or an hour will demonstrate to the system that the public demands justice for Oscar Grant.

Not much is known about Paul Anthony Ciancia, the man police say killed one transportation security official and wounded another at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday. Several other people were injured in the shooting.
Ciancia is 23 years old and originally from New Jersey, but was living in Los Angeles at the time of the attack.
So far, authorities have provided no specific motive for the shooting. LA Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon says the suspect "pulled an assault rifle out of a bag and opened fire in the terminal."
"He proceeded up into the screening area where TSA screeners are and continued shooting," Gannon said. He said the gunman "went past the screeners and back into the terminal itself."
The Associated Press reports that the suspect was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag with a note saying he wanted to "kill TSA" employees. After police say he opened fire, they shot and wounded him before taking him into custody.
The AP quotes Pennsville, N.J., Police Chief Allen Cummings as saying that the suspect's father called him early Friday saying one of Ciancia's siblings had received a text message mentioning suicide.
According to the AP:
"The elder Ciancia, the owner of an auto-body shop in southern New Jersey, asked for help in locating Paul, Cummings said. The chief called Los Angeles police, which sent a patrol car to Ciancia's apartment. It wasn't clear whether the police visited before or after the airport shooting.
'Basically, there were two roommates there,' Cummings said, adding that they reported seeing Ciancia on Thursday and that he was 'fine.'"

text: It's hard to believe it was just 2010 when Fred Couples first wore a pair of Ecco Street shoes down the fairways at Augusta. Since then, the Street shoe and the casual golf shoe market in general has exploded. Today, the company that designed the first "Street" golf shoe, has announced its latest version, the Ecco Street EVO One shoe. Offered in a range of vibrant colours, the Street EVO One is described by Ecco as a "performance hybrid shoe" and and features an array of Ecco's latest proprietary technology and features. "The way Street EVO One looks, feels and plays puts it in a class by itself," says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. "It's yet another example of the advantages that come with our foot-first approach to designing and producing premium golf shoes." One of key features of the Street EVO One is the new sole design. A direct-injected midsole has been combined with a new integrated shank piece. Typically an unspoken word in golf, Ecco are keen to let golfers know how their shank can actually improve your game. The shank-piece design is darker in colour, visible in the photos below, and carefully cups and cushions a golfer's heel. As well as providing a stable platform for a golfer swing, the heel piece delivers improved comfort and torsional support. The new sole design is actually a touch wider than the previous versions of Ecco's Street shoes. 100 carefully designed, moulded traction bars combine to provide 800 "traction angles" that work together to offer improved traction. Ecco's Dynamic Traction System (E-DTS) is made from TPU, which of course you know refers to a Thermoplastic Polyurethane material. Ecco have worked hard to produce a sole that is highly durable and wear-resistent, whilst still offering "Tour-quality grip." Each of Ecco's golf shoes is made at one of Ecco's own factories. They have the rare ability to control the entire process from the raw materials to the finished shoe. The upper designs of the new Street EVO One are built in these factories, and features a two-colour colour combination in a sleek, modern new look. The Ecco Street EVO One will be available in two different versions, a high-grade cow leather and a genuine camel leather version. Which ever you choose, you will benefit from Ecco's Hydromax tanned-in treatment that helps produce a shoe built for any type of weather.

Again, I am not computer science expert, therefore, do standard things: compile the mpi code and run using mpirun which I assume should load 1 thread per core? My testing was done using our codes applied to problems with dimensions far beyond of what we usually run to get as much stress to the system as possible. But again, I will rerun the tests during this weekend and will report results. > > In any case the last 2 clusters I bought (I've got 10 or so running > currently) was single socket intel 45nm/12MB cache processors, and a dual > socket barcelona.
