Virgin Galactic’s new vehicles, which will be manufactured by The Spaceship Company in Mojave, Calif., share much of the same basic design, but are being built to carry six customers, or the equivalent scientific research payload, on suborbital space flights. The vehicles will allow an out-of-the-seat, zero-gravity experience with astounding views of the planet from the black sky of space for tourist astronauts and a unique microgravity platform for researchers.

The increase was predominantly due to the U.S. acquisitions (24 properties acquired during the current year and three properties acquired during the third quarter of 2012), which increased NOI by $11.1 million for the three months ended and $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The positive impact of the acquisitions was complemented by an increase in NOI for the Canadian properties, mainly due to higher rental rates as a result of the Ontario guideline rent increase of 2.5% during the year which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses mainly due to higher repairs and maintenance.<br /><br /> <br />FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (\"FFO\") <br />                                    Three months ended     Nine months ended <br />                                       September 30,          September 30, <br />(In thousands of dollars, except <br />per unit amounts)                       2013       2012        2013       2012 <br />Net income for the period <br /> attributable to the <br /> unitholders                         $23,055    $37,966     $43,308   $134,738 <br />Add (deduct): <br />Fair value gain on income <br /> producing properties                (6,721)   (47,181)     (3,507)   (84,404) <br />Non-controlling interests\' share <br /> of fair value gain on   income <br /> producing properties                    263      1,191         459      2,334 <br />Fair value (gain) loss on Class <br /> B LP Units                         (12,573)      9,817    (29,796)     30,313 <br />Fair value gain on conversion <br /> option of Debentures                    (7)          -         (7)          - <br />Distributions on Class B LP <br /> Units recorded as interest <br />  expense                              2,583      2,583       7,750      4,677 <br />Deferred income tax provision <br /> (recovery)                            3,843        323       6,806   (73,461) <br />Funds from operations                $10,443     $4,699     $25,013    $14,197 <br />Interest expense on convertible <br /> debentures                              703          -       1,529          - <br />Diluted FFO                          $11,146     $4,699     $26,542    $14,197 <br />FFO per unit - basic and diluted       $0.22      $0.17       $0.56      $0.53 <br /> <br /><br />FFO increased by $5.7 million or 122.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $10.4 million ($0.22 per unit) compared to $4.7 million ($0.17 per unit) in 2012 and increased by $10.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $25.0 million ($0.56 per unit) compared to $14.2 million ($0.53 per unit) in 2012. The increase in FFO is mainly attributable to the U.S. acquisitions which had a positive impact on NOI of $11.1 million for the three months ended and $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in other income of $0.6 million and a decrease in current income taxes of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These items were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.4 million for the three months ended and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the mortgages on the U.S. acquisitions and the convertible debentures issued during the first quarter of 2013. Trust expenses also increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 predominantly due to an increase in asset management fee on the acquisitions completed in 2013.<br /><br /> <br />ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (\"AFFO\") <br /><br />                                  Three months ended      Nine months ended <br />                                     September 30,           September 30, <br />(In thousands of dollars, <br />except per unit amounts)               2013      2012     2013            2012 <br />Funds from Operations               $10,443    $4,699  $25,013         $14,197 <br />Add (deduct): <br />Amortization of deferred <br /> financing costs assumed on <br />  Initial Properties                    367       385    1,099           1,074 <br />Non-controlling interests\' <br /> share of amortization of <br /> deferred   financing costs <br /> assumed on Initial <br /> Properties                            (12)      (11)     (35)            (33) <br />Maintenance capital <br /> expenditures                       (1,442)     (657)  (3,456)         (1,851) <br />Amortization of cash flow <br /> hedge                                   53        53      158             154 <br />Adjusted funds from operations        9,409     4,469   22,779          13,541 <br />Interest expense on <br /> convertible debentures                 703         -    1,529               - <br />Diluted AFFO                        $10,112    $4,469  $24,308         $13,541 <br />AFFO per unit - basic and <br /> diluted                              $0.20     $0.16    $0.51           $0.50 <br /> <br /><br />AFFO increased by $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $9.4 million ($0.20 per unit) compared to $4.5 million ($0.16 per unit) in 2012 and increased by $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $22.8 million ($0.51 per unit) compared to $13.5 million ($0.50 per unit) in 2012.

Davis as township treasurer, during the March 12 meeting. While the board voted in a 3-2 decision not to compensate Davis for her new position, it is willing to revisit the issue in the future if need be. Board members Jeffrey Harbison and Peter Wilson voted against the decision, while board members Baird Standish and Robert Gillies were absent.<br /><br />“In 2012, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania amended the first class township code in order to separate the duties of the township tax collector from the township treasurer,” said President James Dailey. “The elected tax collector is responsible to invoice and collect real estate taxes and may collect local enabling taxes, such as the business privilege and mercantile tax. The newly created office of appointed township treasurer will accept the funds from the township tax collector, as well as other funds collected by the township, to be deposited in the township’s designated depository. The appointed township treasurer will continue to perform all other functions of the office as in previous years, including maintaining records as to receipts from taxes and other sources of income, presenting the information from audits [and] enacting as a signatory on all monies paid out by the township. To separate the duties of the elected town tax collector and appointed treasurer, the commonwealth has also permitted, but not required, municipalities to compensate the appointed treasurer separately from services rendered.”<br /><br />During the Jan. 6 reorganization meeting, the board deferred the appointment of a township treasurer until it could understand all of the details of the new legislation, including compensation, and research how other neighboring townships were handling the new position. Davis, in the meantime, performed both duties during the deferment period.<br /><br />“So we saw from the report that Upper Dublin had established compensation for the treasurer,” Wilson said. “I think it was $3,000 per year. We saw that Cheltenham has established compensation for the treasurer that’s $5,000 a year. There was another township that was contemplating compensation but [it] hadn’t finalized the compensation. I think looking at the legislation that the spirit of this, while it was a little opaque, truly was to give townships the opportunity to change the compensation structure that had been in place for so many decades — to try to make it a little fairer on the treasurer/tax collector. So I think asking somebody to do another job for zero compensation is not only unfair, unethical but I think it’s just wrong.”<br /><br />Wilson suggested paying the treasurer somewhere between $3,000 to $5,000 annually.<br /><br />“As I considered the position, I think Ms. Davis is doing a great job in the position,” said board member Tom Bell, “that’s a voluntary and elected position in this township … I look at it more as a public service. I ran for the position years ago. I would like to see future boards stick with appointing the elected tax collector as our treasurer as well. To counter what Peter [Wilson] said, I don’t think it’s unfair. Ms. Davis ran on her own volition, and she was duly elected and the tax collector and the treasurer — I don’t think there’s any additional work that has to be done.”<br /><br />“At this time I’m not in favor of adding any compensation to this,” said board member Glenn Schaum. “I’m not opposed to looking at it in the future. But I think we’ve used the word legislative intent around this every time this is mentioned; it’s the legislative intent to find a way to compensate the tax collector for the treasurer’s job. Truly, if compensation was the sole purpose, I’ve not really read it that the legislative intent was to compensate, but truly wouldn’t they have gone back and looked at the 1945 ordinance that says what the tax collector, the maximum allowed, that a first class township can pay the tax collector? If truly it was about salary, they should go back and say, ‘Hey, maybe in 1945 $10,000 was good, but in 2014 it’s not.’ Not to take a back door approach and say well, we’re going to split the job. And it was the job that Bonny [Davis] signed on for, and every tax collector prior to last year, signed on for when they were elected.”<br /><br />Dailey said as president he tries to build some type of consensus, adding he had to agree with Schaum that there wasn’t any legislative intent. He also said he believed the roles of the township tax collector and the township treasurer were dependent upon each other.<br /><br />“I see the duties as being intertwined,” he said. “I don’t see them changing.” <br /><br />Dailey said in response to the suggestion of paying the treasurer $5,000, “That is a 50 percent increase of the $10,000 we pay now. So I don’t know what position you would raise 50 percent.”<br /><br />Last year, before the position was split, the township, according to Dailey, paid a salary of $10,000, office expenses of $5,000, sewer collection of $11,500, refuse collection $14,429 “which comes to $40,885 of compensation that we paid for the office of township tax collector.”<br /><br />“That’s not including any type of compensation from the school district and the county … also not included is the amount the tax collector would get for certification, which I believe is $35 apiece,” he said. “In one of the letters that I got from Ms. Davis years ago, it mentioned that 300 tax certifications were done in one year upon appointment, which is another $10,000. So as far as compensation, I’m looking at it, to give an additional, even if you took [just] the $40,000, a $5,000 increase would be something like 12 or 15 percent, which again, I think is relatively high. So I truly feel that the office of the township tax collector is compensated adequately.”<br /><br />Later, Davis said she was happy to continue serving both positions, agreeing with Bell that it is a public service and she didn’t want to let down the public. She said she hoped the board might revisit the issue in the future if circumstances change.','','','\r\n	Wyndmoor, PA- based Springfield Township has announced promotion of Bonny Davis as Treasurer.\r\n',2,2,'http://www.montgomerynews.com/articles/2014/03/14/springfield_sun/news/doc532205e9a93ea719670674.txt','','mirania',4,'Bonny-Davis-Springfield-Township-Treasurer-Promoted',0,'2014-04-18',0),(11940,17793,2941,'Chief Financial Officer','Sonja McClelland has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer at Hurco Companies, Inc.','2014-03-14','2014-03-14','Hurco Companies, Inc., based in Indianapolis, Indiana announced today the promotion of Sonja K.

(WKBN) - Pet owners in Pennsylvania could soon get a knock at their door asking to show a license for their dog.<br /><br />Efforts to get the message out are happening all across the state, including Mercer County.<br /><br />Agriculture Secretary George Greig today invited Pennsylvania students in first through sixth grades to enter a poster contest to raise awareness about the importance of dog licensing. The deadline to enter the statewide contest is April 30.<br /><br />“Dog ownership comes with a lot of responsibilities, and licensing your dog is on the top of the list,” Greig said during a news conference at the Mercer County Courthouse. “This contest is a great way to educate students and their families about the importance of licensing their dogs. I encourage all eligible students to participate, get creative and talk with their families about safeguarding their ‘best friend.’”<br /><br />Greig joined Mercer County Treasurer Ginny Richardson to remind Pennsylvanians to purchase dog licenses in recognition of March as “Dog License Awareness Month.”<br /><br />The poster contest is open to all students enrolled in public, private or home school. Students involved with a sponsoring 4-H club or scouting organization may also participate.<br /><br />The poster must reflect the theme “License your dog. It’s his ticket home.” and include the website www.licenseyourdogPA.com.<br /><br />Judging will be based on effective communication of the theme and importance of the dog license law and creativity.<br /><br />The grand-prize winner will receive a $20 in cash plus a visit by the Secretary of Agriculture and a dog warden during an official poster unveiling at their school. Grand prize artwork will be used on promotional displays and websites and will be the cover page of the 2015 Dog Law Enforcement Office Coloring Book. Winners of each age division (first and second grade, third and fourth grade, fifth and sixth grade) will receive a $15 cash prize and their artwork will appear in the office’s coloring book.<br /><br />Friday, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett urged Pennsylvanians to license their dogs, saying a current dog license is the best way to ensure lost dogs are reunited with their families.<br /><br />Governor Corbett proclaimed March as “Dog License Awareness Month,” reminding Pennsylvanians to purchase licenses before dog wardens begin canvassing homes to check for current license and rabies vaccinations. State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year. Owners who fail to license their dogs could face a fine of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.<br /><br />“Dog wardens across the state will be out in full force in the coming months to ensure all Pennsylvanians are following the laws,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “Buy a license for your dog now, because the cost of a license is less than the penalty for being caught without one.”<br /><br />An annual dog license is $8.45 or $6.45 if the animal is spayed or neutered. Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo. Older adults and persons with disabilities may be eligible for discounts.<br /><br />“Licensing your dog is easy and affordable,” said Allegheny County Treasurer John Weinstein. “Buy a license from your county treasurer or another licensing agent like a retail store, veterinarian office or, in many cases, online.”<br /><br />The dog license application requires owner contact information and details about the dog being licensed, like name, age, breed and color. The information is used by animal control and shelters to identify lost dogs and get them home safely.<br /><br />“Each day we rescue lost dogs, some of which are not licensed,” said David Swisher, Animal Friends’ president and chief executive officer. “More than 7,600 dogs entered shelters and animal control agencies in Allegheny County in 2013. It’s heartbreaking to know that many of the dogs in area shelters could have been reunited with their owners if they simply had a license.”<br /><br />Licensing fees support animal control through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Dog Law Enforcement Office, which is responsible for ensuring the welfare of dogs, regulating dangerous dogs and overseeing annual licensing and rabies vaccinations.','','','\r\n	Mercer, PA- based Mercer County has announced apponitment of Ginny Richardson as treasurer.\r\n',2,1,'http://wkbn.com/2014/03/14/push-for-pet-registration-begins-in-pa-including-mercer-county/','','mirania',4,'Ginny-Richardson-Mercer-County-Treasurer-Appointed',0,'2014-04-18',0),(11942,17795,20887,'Treasurer','Karen Jeppesen has retired as treasurer at Cache County.','2014-03-13','2014-03-13','Karen Jeppesen, Cache County\'s chief deputy treasurer, has been appointed to finish Lucile Ferguson\'s term as treasurer.<br />Ferguson, a Republican, retires next month, two years into her four-year elected term.County Executive Seth Allen recommended Jeppesen to the county council after interviewing the three people nominated by Cache County Republicans.<br />The other nominees were Peg Richins, a Richmond native who recently returned from Fresno, Calif., where she worked for that city\'s revenue department; and Cordell Yeates, who works at Mountain West Seat Covers and has run unsuccessfully for local government positions including Logan mayor.<br />The council selected Jeppesen Tuesday night.','','','\r\n	Logan , UT- based Cache County has announced retiremenet of Karen Jeppesen as treasurer.\r\n',2,3,'http://www.deseretnews.com/article/265136/CACHE-COUNCIL-APPOINTS-NEW-TREASURER.html?pg=all','','mirania',4,'Karen-Jeppesen-Cache-County-Treasurer-Retired',0,'2014-04-19',0),(11943,17796,3568,'Vice President of Treasury','Jeff Graff has been appointed as Vice President of Treasury at Adventist Health System.','2014-03-12','2014-03-12','Adventist Health System has welcomed a new leader to its executive team.<br /><br />The Altamonte Springs-based health care organization named Jeff Graff the new vice president of treasury.<br /><br />In his new role, Graff will oversee and manage the company’s debt portfolio, foster relationships with banking partners and provide leadership to the treasury operations team.<br /><br />Graff is a graduate from the University of Central Florida, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in finance.

That number is expected to exceed $1 billion this fiscal year, according to the city budget.<br /><br />Graphic: Six-figure L.A. city pensions<br /><br />In the same period, investments for the two systems underperformed by more than $7 billion. Since then, rates of return have gone up significantly, “but these reports demonstrate that there are lessons to be learned for the future,” Galperin said in a release.<br /><br />For instance, administrative costs for the two systems were higher, per member, than for similar retirement systems, the reports found. If the Los Angeles City Employees’ Retirement System whittled those costs down, it could have saved $23.5 million between 2008 and 2012, the controller concluded.<br /><br />Galperin suggested that consolidating the management of two retirement systems — one for firefighters and police and one for civilian employees not with the Department of Water and Power — could reduce costs for administration and investment management.<br /><br />For instance, “if they are both going to be making similar investments, why pay for the same research twice?” said Lowell Goodman, communications director for the controller.<br /><br />LACERS general manager Tom Moutes declined to comment specifically on the idea of consolidation, but in a statement said he was “proud that the management audit noted many positive aspects relating to LACERS,” including that it “operated in a reasonably efficient and economical manner” and that its operations were “very transparent.”<br /><br />Moutes also noted that there were far fewer recommendations than in the last management audit in 2007. “As we are constantly striving to improve our operations, we welcome the audit recommendations and look forward to further reviewing them with our board,” the statement said.<br /><br />Los Angeles Fire and Police Pensions general manager Ray Ciranna said in an email to The Times that his agency looked forward to reading and addressing the recommendations in the report.<br /><br />As for merging management with the city employees retirement system, \"the issue was raised in the last management audit and after subsequent review and analysis, it was determined that there wouldn\'t be any significant cost savings from combining investment activities,\" Ciranna wrote in an email. \"Our investment management fees continue to be very competitive and are some of the lowest in the industry.\"<br /><br />The audit reports also recommended that the pension systems might save money by placing it under passive management, which is less expensive than paying someone to make day-to-day investment decisions. If the fire and police pension had used passive management instead of active management for part of its portfolio, it could have reduced investment management fees by $20 million, according to one audit.<br /><br />“We don’t know that paying all these fees always translates into a higher rate of return,” Goodman said. “It certainly merits further study.”<br /><br />The latest audits did not examine the retirement system for employees of the Department of Water and Power. The three newly released reports included management audits of LACERS and LAFPP, as well as a compliance audit of city contributions to the two systems.','','','\r\n	Los Angeles, CA- based City of Los Angeles has announced appointment of Ron Galperin as Controller.\r\n',2,1,'','','mirania',4,'Ron-Galperin-City-of-Los-Angeles-Controller-Appointed',0,'2014-04-19',0),(11946,17799,6210,'Senior Vice President, Controller','Senior Vice President, Controller','2014-03-12','2014-03-12','NEWARK, N.J., Mar 12, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Prudential Financial, Inc.

All are accomplished business executives who bring to the company decades of biologics, vaccines, and business expertise,” said Kenneth Kelley, Chief Executive Officer of PaxVax. “Currently, no single-dose cholera vaccine is available in the world today.
