    ...results for the second quarter of 2012 include $20.3 million of special charges affecting operating income. Facility consolidation non-cash charges totaled $5.1 million ($3.1 million after tax or $0.01 per share) reflecting primarily accelerated depreciation costs associated with the transfer of production activities. Workforce restructuring charges in our Publishing segment of $9.7 million ($5.8 million after tax or $0.02 per share) reflect principally the impact of employee acceptances during the second quarter of an early retirement plan announced earlier this year. Results for the second quarter of 2012 also included pension settlement charges totaling $5.4 million ($3.2 million after tax or $0.01 per share).

    USAT down 17%. I'd say the new hires are really moving things forward.

    Advertising and marketing CMO, pres, SVP, the whole bunch of them should be handed their walking papers for ZERO results.
