Dow CEO Picked to Help Lead Effort to Foster Technology Development and Job Creation
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 24, 2011) – American Chemistry Council President and CEO Cal Dooley issued the following statement in response to the announcement of President Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership:
"America's chemistry industry welcomes President Obama's initiative to maintain our nation's leadership in bringing transformative technologies and products to the world. American chemistry is the source of nearly every manufacturing breakthrough – from nanotechnology, advanced materials, robotics, genomics and energy efficiency – that has helped make life healthier, safer and more sustainable. We are pleased that President Obama has recognized the essential role that chemical manufacturers will play in fulfilling his vision by naming Andrew Liveris, Chairman, President and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, to lead this important effort.
"In particular, we are encouraged by the President's focus on industrial energy efficiency and the effort to move advanced materials to market more quickly - a goal that will only be possible if we have an updated, sound and efficient federal chemical regulatory system in place. We look forward to working with the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership to ensure America remains the world's leader in developing the technologies and in manufacturing the products that will transform our lives and our economy."

Chris Perez, still stinging over being booed at home, harshly criticized Cleveland Indians fans on Saturday, saying they don't support the team well enough.
The Indians once set a major league record with 455 consecutive announced sellouts, but attendance has lagged for several seasons as the team has tried to rebuild. Cleveland is last in the majors in average attendance this year, at 15,518 per home date.
Perez told reporters that the tepid fan interest discourages free agents from coming to Cleveland. He cited outfielder Carlos Beltran, who chose the world champion St. Louis Cardinals over the Indians last winter.
"Guys don't want to come over here and people wonder why," Perez was quoted as saying after closing out a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners. "Why doesn't Carlos Beltran want to come over here? Well, because of that. That's part of it. It doesn't go unnoticed—trust us. That's definitely a huge reason. Nobody wants to play in front of 5,000 fans. We know the weather (stinks), but people see that. Other players know that.
"You had a choice of playing in St. Louis where you get 40,000 (fans) like Beltran chose to do, or you can come to Cleveland. It's going to take more money to get him to come to Cleveland. That's just how it is. That's another thing that you have to go against. It's not only the payrolls of the (American League) East teams, but that kind of stuff."
The Indians drew slightly more than 29,000 fans on Friday and Saturday, two of their best crowds of the season.
Perez's comment were also fueled by how he was treated Thursday. Fans began booing him after he allowed two baserunners, then gave mock cheers after Perez escaped the jam. He said the booing "(ticks) me off."
"That stuff is reserved for road games. We don't want to deal with that crap," Perez told reporters, according to The Chronicle-Telegram of Elyria, Ohio. "Here, good fans are supposed to help you try to get through the inning and say, 'Hey, you're only one pitch away,' or 'Hey, it's all right.' And then after I struck out (the Mariners' Jesus Montero), the mock standing applause just adds to it. You see their true colors."
Perez, who was traded by the Cardinals to the Indians in 2009, is 13-for-14 in save opportunities this season, with his only blown save coming on opening day. He was booed that day, too, but Perez said he deserved it then.

Hey guys,
Here's another newb question, I just finished putting together my Via EPIA M it boots up and everything seems good with a normal 120V Power supply. Now I'm looking to wire my car up so that I could test to see if it works in there... But I ran into a problem that I didn't find any solutions too (I did look) I'm looking at purchasing hte OPUS 150W power supply even though my comp won't use that much power I am going this route so I could expand easily later if I would want too... Here is my delema... I'm not sure if I need both a regulator such as the: http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...products_id=94
And a Power Supply such as:
Or could I just use the power supply on it's own? It doesn't mention anything about a regulator being built into the power supply this is why I asked this question... Thanks in advance for the help!

This is the most cogent argument for what has been a key supporting element to the US markets: Overseas economic strength. Even as the US decelerates, the overseas strength, driven primarily by China, but with growth in Japan and the rest of the Pacific Rim, as well as Europe, is maintaining the global boom.
We have discussed over the past few Qs exporters, who can sell into those markets, and take advantage of the weak US currency. That continues to be the greatest market strength out there — not so much their consumers, but their massive infrastructure development. And, as strong as the US markets appear, they continue to lag most world markets.
Barron's Mike Santoli sums it up nicely:
Fast-galloping overseas economies, flush world capital markets and a
sagging dollar fatten multinationals' earnings and furnish the fuel for
commodity-related stocks to surge.
That's the takeaway from the earnings beats by Caterpillar (CAT) and Honeywell (HON) last week, the 22% jump in the Philadelphia Steel Producers index since March 5, the continued outperformance of foreign stock indexes, the seven-month high in copper and the run toward $700 an ounce in gold.
As a result, materials stocks are the new momentum
favorites, and more broadly, traditionally cyclical sectors are being
treated and valued as perpetual-growth vehicles — a process even
extending to sectors like railroads and utilities, now considered
implicit plays on the commodity-demand boom."
That makes a ton of sense to me . . .

23 Responses to "Global Markets Driving the Dow"
It would make sense to me also if I saw capacity utilization and backlogs growing in these industries. But both remain weak in basic metals and steel although they are strong for aluminum. Moreover, the I/S ratio for primary metals is also rising. Finally, metals stocks at the London Metals Exchange are rising. All these variables typically lead spot market prices. But now we are seeing prices rise while these traditional leading-concurrent indicators are weakening.
Something does not add up.
I suspect it is hot money driving up spot prices in a final speculative binge.
There is a tremendous explosion of global construction. Building infrastructure and construction are booming in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. You need a lot of steel to build new skyscrapers, bridges, factories, railroads, highways, etc…
In addition, there is a shortage of shipping containers and tankers (all made out of steel)
I see steel sector going much higher from here – it is a global growth story play. (Steel Sector trailing P/E is only 10 and forward P/E is only 7).
Disclaimer: I am long Steel Sector.
the stock markets of the world are going to new highs and if we
get a close where we are now on the Dow Industrials and the Dow Transports,
we've got something approaching another Dow Theory buy signal. And NASDAQ
is about to touch a new high. This is a very impressive performance here,
but it's just mimicking what's happening across the world.
So the idea of a rise in long-term interest rates and a rise in inflation is
not something that's certainly concerning the stock markets of the world at
the moment. And that, I think will become a source of concern later, but at
the moment, what stock markets are saying notwithstanding the tightness of
central banks for the last two years and notwithstanding the sell-off we had
in stock markets earlier in the week because China announced it was going to
do something to try to rein in its 11.1% growth rate. It didn't take long
before people assumed that the game is still on for the global economy.
What's interesting is that there's no evidence out here at the moment that
the US stock market is wasting much time worrying about what it was so
worried about in February and early March, namely the subprime loans.
However all the work that I've been doing since then about the state of the
subprime market indicates that we are a long way away from reaching bottom
in that area and that the housing sector of the US is going to be having its
problems for quite a while to come.
Steel will blow up horrendously, you will have stocks trading at 1/2 or less of their present quotes in the not so distant future.
China, the LARGEST steel producer by (VERY) far, is increasing prodution at a stupid pace, and went from being a net importer of the stuff to a net exporter.
Meanwhile, the worldwide housing bubble is fast decaying.
It's a matter of time before this all destroys western steelmaker's margins. At the top, the steel companies will seem "cheap", much like homebuilders seemed "cheap" during 2005, with PE's below 10.
"what stock markets are saying notwithstanding the tightness of
central banks"
You must be joking, right? eheh. 5.25%, 3.75%, 0.50%, what tightness?
This ought to suggest where the growth in Chinese shares is coming from. From today's Barrons:
"The Financial Times reports that Chinese retail investors opened more than a million stock-trading accounts last week, or 10-million-plus over the past four months, greater than the previous four years combined. "It's great to be a broker," boasted one, eagerly anticipating his bonus."
"However all the work that I've been doing since then about the state of the
subprime market indicates that we are a long way away from reaching bottom
in that area and that the housing sector of the US is going to be having its
problems for quite a while to come."
The problem isn't really the debt people can't pay (that's peanuts, whether it is $100bn or $200bn).
The problem will be the debt people won't borrow. That can easily be $1 trillion. Right now the $10-$13 trillion economy (I say 10-13 trillion because a lot of what goes into GDP in the US really doesn't exist, like the value of free checking accounts, or the owner's imputed rent) needs more than $2 trillion of NEW debt per year to keep growing. Every time debt growth falls below 5% (of the outstanding debt) or so the US goes into recession (wanna know why? Because that's close to the growth needed to SERVICE the existing debt), so if debt growth slows from the 2 trillion to, like, $1 trillion, it gets UGLY even with what is STILL incredible debt creation.
The evidence has been there for a while. Ecomonies in Germany, UK, Australia, China, India etc have been strong despite worries in US. If you actuall go to China and India, you will see the unprecedented consumer demand in new cars, houses, furnitures, cell phones, tvs, etc. Even 5 years ago, the demand was not one third of what is now. Put into context, this will be an unprecedented global economic expansion for many years to come, and a global bull market for commodity and emerging markets. with superior technologies and a great capital market, US will take full advantage. US stock market will do well too, although not as well as emerging markets. When was last time two billion people are drastically improving their productivity and living standards in a relative short period of time?
Everyone is so fixed about commodity price as indicative of inflation, and not many talk about the real demand from two countries of 1 billion people acturally driving commodity price (not excess liquidity).
"Everyone is so fixed about commodity price as indicative of inflation, and not many talk about the real demand from two countries of 1 billion people acturally driving commodity price (not excess liquidity)."
Not excess liquidity? With, like, 4-5-6 trillion dollars PER YEAR of new debt around the world?
The only thing driving the asset craziness around the world is debt creation everywhere.
Granted, in the Far East some of that debt creation is feeding production. But everywhere else it's just feeding leveraged asset inflation (be it homes, stocks, bonds, commodities, whatever).
Economic growth is good but does not necessarily deliver higher asset prices, much less for EVERY asset in every market.
Global economies driving the Dow?
…yes, but it's still the American economy that's a primary driver of the global Cap-Ex that is itself the instrument of deflation of the earning power of the American worker and his Western Economy counterpart.
Just the other day I identified this as being the very real and focused dilemma of the Fed, and readers of Eclectic understand the case I have made that labor is the core of all monetary exchange, fiat exchange or real exchange, and that wealth occurs at the source of labor's exchange. No labor exchange… no wealth. Labor is leaving the U.S. and thus also the U.S. economy's source of wealth is leaving.
I also likened the U.S. to a city in which its inhabitants had either no jobs or limited jobs and yet they were spending down their sources of capital (equity or credit) in an attempt to preserve a standard of living that world-wide demographics will continuously deplete for probably another generation, more or less. And when debt in an economy is 136% of GDP (was that the figure?), it only reinforces my metaphor.
Now, let's face it… we are very nearer to a point in which world-wide economic health will not be so dependent on the U.S. economy. But, as of this moment in time, it still is.
If there'd been no housing boom in the U.S. the last few years, global Cap-Ex would have been dramatically smaller. So, even as Don Luskin was on Kudlow and should feel rightfully entitled to congratulations for being right, to date, he's accurately raised the issue of housing still being the "wild card."
Supply-siders will attribute supply-side economic theory to China's economic success. Nonsense… China's economic boom is a response to U.S. demand, not their own. Otherwise, China's economy would crash… and may yet if the U.S. economy weakens enough to reveal the imbalances in China's production capacity build-out.
The American economic revolution and the aggregate demand that it produced grew out of personal and economic freedom, and they don't yet exist in China, except in enclaves where China benefits from allowing those freedoms for a limited "elite" to help serve its own interests in maintaining political control via economic prosperity.
The wide disparity of economic prospects between the westernized enclaves in Communist China and the great bulk of its population are far more likely to result in political upheaval in China than the same divergence would in the U.S. Reason?… Because economic disparity is ordinarily tolerable to a greater extent than political freedom. If you don't believe it, then go to any economically deprived region of the U.S. and try to take away their political freedom.
In any event of political upheaval, China would revert to the only political solution it knows… hard line totalitarianism… and that may be a picture more in tune with the reversion that seems to be taking place in Russia.
Everyone is so fixed about commodity price as indicative of inflation…
Rising commodity prices do not "indicate" inflation, they are synonymous with it–the definition of inflation is rising prices.
…and not many talk about the real demand from two countries of 1 billion people acturally driving commodity price (not excess liquidity).
By definition, "demand" consists of two things: 1) the desire to buy something and 2) the ability to pay for it. We may as well assume part 1 to be a given, that is, people in China and India want to be like Americans and have four cars, three houses, etc. But that isn't enough to create demand. They need money to pay for that! Where does the money come from? That's where part 2, liquidity, comes in.
Let me [correct myself].
"Because economic disparity is ordinarily tolerable to a greater extent than [the loss of] political freedom."
"Steel will blow up horrendously, you will have stocks trading at 1/2 or less"
Yes, it will "blow up" eventually, but not anytime soon — most likely after the Olympics China 2008.
Again, capacity additions in China, India, Brazil, and even Russia are concerning and eventually they will catch up with the whopping demand, but it will be a more gradual process rather than an overnight event.
I have been in this sector since 2005 and I plan to ride it until maybe a middle of 2008.
I think there is more money to be made there. We will see…
Do you remember the old apology: "Sorry I wrote a ten-page letter, I didn't have time to write two"?
It crosses my mind while reading your posts, not that there is anything wrong with it, on the contrarily I enjoy reading them. It is just a thought.
First,what do you do when U.S. consumer is spent and cannot sustain his pace? I guess you could try the effect of keeping interest rates low, thereby enouraging a continued decline in the value of the dollar, which would then encourage foreign tourism, and hope that their spending takes up the slack.
Second, how can producers of steel in the U.S. compete on the global stage? This past December had what could be a major shock to U.S. steel manufacturers:
"U.S. Regulators Revoke Steel Tariffs
By DAVID HAMMER
Associated Press Writer
December 14, 2006, 6:35 PM EST
WASHINGTON — Trade regulators on Thursday revoked most of the 13-year-old tariffs and duties against imports of a high-grade steel used in cars, giving U.S. and Japanese automakers a holiday surprise.
The vote by the International Trade Commission covers all tariffs and subsidy-countering duties against carbon steel plate from 16 countries.
U.S. steelmakers said the tariffs helped prevent the kind of dumping of low-priced and subsidized imports that almost destroyed the domestic industry in the 1990s"
And also this quote from a Russ Winter posting at http://wallstreetexaminer.com/blogs/winter/?p=664
"The steel market really isn't all that strong as only 34% of the buyers polled plan to increase their bookings through April—while 16% plan to less buying and 50% plan to book only what they bought last month. Most steel buyers at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) say their steel inventories remain in oversupply and they will be reducing stocks over the next six months. Sixty-five percent of the buyers polled by the Institute of Steel Management in February thought their steel inventories were too high for demand and 66% surveyed by Purchasing Magazine in March said the same."
I wonder if the higher steel stock prices aren't anticipation of more foreign purchases as occured with Oregon Steel or simply a result of their comparatively low P/E ratios.
Just 4 years ago in May, U.S. Steel was trading below $12 and Allegheny Tech was below $4, and now both trade above $100. Has demand risen that much
in 4 years?
Behind the Stock Market
I've been ho-humming while everyone else is swooning. Yes, the market is up. Gee, though, this doesn't feel like a boom to me. The market is up 15 percent from a year ago, which is very nice, and above average.
Only four companies have reported so far (more will report this week), here are the headlines from last week (it is self-explanatory):
Nucor profit rises on steel prices
Reliance Steel 1Q profit surges
Reliance Steel sees higher 2Q profit
Steel Dynamics Reports Strong Sales and Earnings for First Quarter
AK Steel's 2006 Stock Performance Termed 'Stellar' by Fortune Magazine
IPSCO Inc. Confirms Buyout Talks
Russia's Evraz steelmaker in talks to buy Canada's IPSCO
Schnitzer Steel sees robust 3Q
Schnitzer Steel 2Q profit up 35 percent
Ignore Munn at your peril.
If I told you how many private emails I get from Big Picture Girls and Big Picture Boys regarding my writing… you wouldn't believe it.
Why… I think I'm up to maybe even 6 or 7 (or more… I've actually lost count) from one particularly sweet Big Pic savage, and a few from some other Bigs who are Bigs in their own rights.
I enjoy your comments. Thank you for the compliment in that you enjoy my writing. And, damn well you should!
Not only is it usually cutting wit, but it's also macroeconomic theory you've never read elsewhere… and for good reason, because it doesn't exist elsewhere, and it'll be in the history books one day and you can say you read it here first.
Sorry, but I can't disappoint my readers.
All in fun, V.L., all in fun.
Just 4 years ago in May, U.S. Steel was trading below $12 and Allegheny Tech was below $4, and now both trade above $100. Has demand risen that much in 4 years?
no, but remember their P/E multiples were in the low single digits, or negative, at the market bottom in 2003.
ATI went from that level to a multiple of 21 today. and it's still trading at it's growth rate, meaning it may still have some upside…
so you're right, demand probably hasn't risen *that* much, but a seven-fold multiple expansion doesn't hurt either.
remember, stock prices don't necessarily correlate with steel demand.
What hasn't been said yet, but will be: Chinease officials would love for the US to go into recession. That would slow their economy down and eliminate the balances. I am surprised this hasn't been mentioned more.
I would like to point out that I am neither a financial professional nor economist – but simply a personal trader who tries almost daily to improve his understanding of finance and economics.
As to the issue of steel, once again I read something that captured my attention since not long ago Mr.R. posted on Gold versus the Dow. The following information came from Richard Daughty's article at: http://www.dailyreckoning.com/
"In a similar vein, the success of stock markets is just a matter of what unit of value you use to measure it. Our mistake was in using dollars, when we should have used, according to Mike Maloney of GoldSilver.com, gold, as 'It took almost 45 ounces of gold to buy 1 share of the Dow in 1999. Today it takes less than 19. Today, if you sold 1 share of the Dow, the proceeds would only buy you 19 ounces of real money. So measured in real money, the Dow has crashed 58%.'"
Very curious. Has gold decreased in value 58% while the stock market has increased?
Not according to exchanges of harder assets than equities.
Gold in 1999 averaged around $290 an ounce, while gasoline cost averaged around $121.5 per gallon. An ounce of gold was equal to 238 gallons of gas. Friday, gold was at $695 an ounce, and gasolone prices are around $3.00 a gallon – an ounce of gold today buys 231 gallons of gas. Certainly no 58% loss – and could be even closer due to my not averaging all daily prices – kind of like +/- 10%, making the difference statistically meaningless.
If you accept Mike Maloney's figure of a 58% decline versus gold, then in gold dollars, U.S. steel closed last at $44.89, a far cry from the $106.88 the ticker shows.
But here is the kicker – if you had bought 1 share of U.S. Steel at its low in 1999 of $23.19 and sold it last Friday at $106.88 you would have realized a 460.8% return. Oh, really? In 1999, the $23.19 would have purchased 19.1 gallons of gas. The $106.88 you received from your sale would have bought 35.6 gallons of gas, an increase of only 87%. And that is before broker's commissions and long term capital gains taxes are applied.
As Peanuts creator Charles Schultz had Linus say after watching his sand castle built on the beach wash away by the incoming tide. "There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure what it is."
I read Chinese news as well as having connections with the Chinese in Beijing and Shanghai going back to when Madame Mao ran the joint.
The news out of the Forbidden City is stark: Hu and Wen have decided this Friday to "To prevent fixed assets investment from rebounding, stricter market access and environmental standards should be set for new construction projects and land use should continue to be tightened.
Facing excess liquidity, China should curb the excessive supply of money and credit, strengthen supervision of cross-border flows of short-term capital and improve foreign currency management."
This spells doom for us, you know.

Thoughts from the EPS Windows Server Performance Team
Useful Microsoft Blogs
Platforms Blogs
Hello there! My name is Mike and I am an Escalation Engineer with the Platforms team. I've been reading the AskPerf blog for a while and wanted to share some information about a very useful troubleshooting tool. A quick word of warning though – to really get the most out of this tool, you need to be comfortable with some pieces of debugging – in particular understanding what a stack is (we'll go over a little bit of this in the next post). I know that we've talked a little bit about applications leaking memory and heap allocations in previous posts. Most administrators are fairly comfortable using tools such as Performance Monitor to do some relatively straightforward identification of memory leaks. However, where many administrators start running into problems is when they suspect a memory leak – but the culprit is an application that is developed in-house. Enter UMDH.EXE – a tool that is included with the Debugging Tools for Windows. Before we dig into using the tool though, let's quickly go over a couple of quick caveats about Memory Leaks.
A perceived memory leak may not actually be a memory leak. No, we're not trying to confuse you, or start an existential debate! The fact of the matter is that there are applications that may be perceived to be leaking that are actually consuming memory by design. Assuming that you actually do have a leak, capturing Performance Monitor Data may help you identify what is leaking, but generally does not provide more information beyond that. The key piece of data in definitively identifying the memory leak within an application is the thread stack. The thread stack is a list of functions. Trying to capture the exact thread stack that is leaking is difficult because threads execute so fast that knowing exactly when to dump the process is not an easy task.
This is where UMDH.EXE comes into play. UMDH stands for User Mode Dump Heap. UMDH is a lightweight standalone executable that does not require a separate installation routine beyond the installation of the Debugging Tools for Windows. Using UMDH you can find the exact set of function calls responsible for the memory consumption. UMDH make use of the Global Flags (GFLAGS) tool settings. Below are the steps for using UMDH:
The first thing you need to do is enable a setting in GFLAGS called "Create user mode stack trace database" for the process that you are investigating. This setting creates a registry value which is read when the process starts up that allows the system to keep track of the functions allocating memory inside the process. You can enable this value either via the GUI or via the command-line. When enabling this value through the GUI, remember to switch to the Image File tab (as shown below) – in this case, I am selecting NOTEPAD.EXE as the process to watch:
The syntax to set this value from the command line is: gflags.exe -i notepad.exe +ust. If the process is already running, you will need to restart the process for this change to take effect.
In addition to setting the Global Flags setting for the process, you will also need to configure the symbol path. You can configure the Symbol Path by setting an environment variable within the properties of "My Computer". The environment variable name is _NT_SYMBOL_PATH. To set up a symbol path to point to the Microsoft public symbol server, set the variable as follows:srv*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols. This creates a local symbol store at C:\Symbols that is populated from the public symbol server. Having this symbol path set allows UMDH to resolve binary information to friendly function names.
Once we have our configuration settings in place, we can take our UMDH snapshots. Taking a snapshot is a straightforward process – the one thing you will need is the Process ID (which you can find by using Task Manager). The syntax is as follows: umdh –p:<PID> –f:<filename>.txt. The –p switch specifies the Process ID and the –f switch specifies the file name for the snapshot file. After you have allowed some time to pass (and the process has leaked some memory), you can take your second snapshot using the same syntax as above. When taking snapshots, it is important to remember that each output file is a discrete entity – data is not appended to the end of each file. So if you set up a batch file to run every five minutes, ensure that the output file name is different for each snapshot.
Once you have at least two snapshots you can use UMDH to compare the two files and create a more useful output file using the following command: umdh -v<filename1>.txt <filename2>.txt > comparefiles.txt.
Assuming that you have set up all the configuration pieces correctly, the output in the output file that you used to capture the comparison data should have text along the lines of what is below in it. In my example I used a Windows Server 2008 x64 machine and captured two quick snapshots of Notepad.exe:

With that, we're going to bring this post to a close. In a future post, we'll go over troubleshooting a memory leak using UMDH.EXE.

Good post about UMDH, Mike! Wonder if this may also lead into a discussion about DebugDiag and the Memory Pressure Analyzers? (Granted, we're awaiting the x64 version of DebugDiag, while apparently UMDH works with 64-bit processes...)
Its a great information Mike thanks for sharing it. It would be great if you can demonstrate and give the explaination about the memory leak using Performance Monitor.
Hello Mike,
Its really a great piece of Information. It would be really great if you can give a screenshoted demonstration for Identifieng memory Leak's using
Performance monitor.
I get kern1l gflags: error: 5 when trying to set UST
What about "In a future post, we'll go over troubleshooting a memory leak using UMDH.EXE." ?
The future is now.
Hi Mike,
I'm using umdh tool to find memory leaks.
when I take diff. of 2 log(dump) files, then in the diff. file, full path of the reference file is truncated. So getting exact location is difficult from it.
Is there any settings in umdh, where I can put maximum allowable path length?
Is there any limitation in using the 64bit UMDH for monitoring mixed mode processes?
Even after enabling the stack trace, UMDH still reports following
Warning: (Restarted the process after enabling the trace)
Warning: UMDH didn't find any allocations that have stacks collected.
Warning: Use gflags to enable allocation stack collection.
Warning: Restart the application for the setting to be in effect.
Warning: A 64bit GFLAGS must be used. The command is:
Warning: gflags -i KTJOBO~1.EXE +ust
If you feel difficulty reading UMDH diff result, try this app. This shows the diff result as what you want.

PITTSBURGH— The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't have a morning skate in advance of their afternoon game against the Winnipeg Jets, but Sidney Crosby did.
Crosby and forward Arron Asham (concussion) worked out at Consol Energy Center before the Penguins played the first of back-to-back weekend home games. They take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.
This is becoming a familiar routine for Crosby, who hasn't played since Dec. 5. He skates with conditioning coach Mike Kadar in advance of a Penguins practice or game as he tries to remain in shape while awaiting his return to playing status.
Crosby and Penguins general manager Ray Shero announced on Jan. 31, before the Penguins' most recent home game before this weekend, that the sidelined star has a soft tissue injury in the top two vertebrae that could be contributing to his concussion-like symptoms.
Crosby is continuing to experience those symptoms but, as he receives treatment, both he and the Penguins are hopeful he can return later this season. There is no timetable for that return, and it depends on Crosby being symptom-free.
"I feel like I'm getting there," Crosby said earlier this week. "I don't know the timeframe. I wish I did."
Crosby sat out the first six weeks of the regular season, and then had a pair of goals – both in his Nov. 21 comeback game against the Islanders – and 10 assists in eight games before the concussion-like symptoms returned following a Dec. 5 game against Boston. Crosby last went through a full practice two days later.
He skated with the Penguins in Montreal during a road trip that concluded Tuesday, but that was so he didn't have to work out that day by himself. He has not yet been cleared for contact during practice.
The Penguins have played 87 games without Crosby the last two seasons – the same as Crosby's number. They are 48-30-9 in those games, including a 25-17-4 record this season.
Pittsburgh did welcome back its other injured center, Jordan Staal, on Saturday. Staal played for the first time since spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a knee-to-knee hit with Mike Rupp of the Rangers on Jan. 6. The Penguins were 9-5-1 without Staal, who had 15 goals in 34 games before he left the lineup.
Asham, out since Jan. 15, appears to be getting close to returning as well.

|Serum galactomannan strongly correlates with outcome of invasive aspergillosis in acute leukaemia patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21605195 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Invasive aspergillosis (IA) remains an important cause of mortality in acute leukaemia patients. Previous studies reported that serum galactomannan (GM) levels correlate strongly with IA outcomes in patients with haematological cancers. This study aimed to clarify the usefulness of serial GM testing for outcome evaluation of IA in acute leukaemia patients. We retrospectively analysed 58 acute leukaemia patients who had IA during neutropenic period after chemotherapy and whose serum GM was serially monitored until discharge or death. The kappa correlation coefficient was used to determine the strength of correlation between GM and clinical outcome (survival or death) of IA. The correlation between clinical outcome and GM kinetics was good at week 6 [κ = 0.663, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.465-0.861] and excellent at week 12 (κ = 0.819, 95% CI: 0.667-0.91). Survival was significantly better in patients whose GM values normalised than in patients with persistently positive GM (P < 0.0001) regardless of whether neutropenia resolved or acute leukaemia responded to chemotherapy. In neutropenic patients with acute leukaemia, serum GM correlated strongly with survival outcome of IA. This finding further supports the usefulness of the GM index as a surrogate marker for assessing IA outcome and the need for serial GM testing in therapeutic monitoring.

New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner speaks to members of the news media after testifying at a New York City Housing Authority Public Hearing on Wednesday.
- Filed Under
Losing ground in the polls and under pressure to quit, New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner revealed Thursday he sent explicit texts to as many as 10 women, including three after he left Congress in disgrace in 2011.
And yet he remained in the race.
As Weiner visited a Brooklyn soup kitchen, a poll released Thursday appeared to show voters' distaste for his revelations. Weiner lost his lead against five other Democratic candidates. He now trails City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who had the support of 25% of Democratic primary voters compared with Weiner's 16% in the poll by NBC 4 New ...

Scientific Critique Finds Canada's Wind Turbine Health Study Was Flawed
|in News Departments > FYI
The Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) is speaking out against a recently published paper that claims wind turbine noise adversely impacts sleep and health.
The paper - written by Michael A. Nissenbaum, Jeffery J. Aramini and Christopher D. Hanning, who are all directors and/or scientific advisers for the Society for Wind Vigilance - was previously reviewed and considered by experts at the first Environmental Review Tribunal hearing on wind energy in Ontario and in the Queen's Bench of Saskatchewan case McKinnon v. Martin.
This information was also reviewed by an expert panel on wind turbines and human health commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, which concluded that "attributing any of the observed associations to the wind turbines (either noise from them or the sight of them) is premature," CanWEA notes.
Both courts, as well as the Massachusetts independent expert panel, found no justification for halting wind energy development as a result of the information presented in the paper, CanWEA says.
CanWEA and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) jointly commissioned experts to conduct a scientific critique of the paper. The review, conducted by Intrinsik Environmental Sciences, identified concerns related to the study's design, methodology, sample size and administration of questionnaires to participants.
The Intrinsik critique noted that no new sound data were obtained for this study and that the use of limited information visually obtained from other reports "is not scientifically defensible and should not have been used to draw conclusions about the findings of the questionnaires with distance from turbine locations."
Intrinsik also found that the "authors extend their conclusions and discussion beyond the statistical findings of their study." Furthermore, the firm concluded that the authors did not demonstrate a statistical link between wind turbines' distance and sleep quality, sleepiness and health.

Re: I need some help trying to move clan from elite to ghostfrats74 Oct 30, 2013 8:00 AM (in response to Stanup44)
I believe what you mean is you want to copy over your current Clan Roster from MW3 or BO2 over to Ghosts. That feature was available during the Early Registration Process of Ghosts, when Clan leaders can simply copy whoever is in their Roster. That feature currently disabled, but will be available on November 5 when Ghosts is released.
Re: I need some help trying to move clan from elite to ghostJoelmorgan360 Nov 7, 2013 12:24 PM (in response to frats74)
how come we still cant make/ transfer a clan yet... COD GHOSTS IS OUT
Re: I need some help trying to move clan from elite to ghostfrats74 Nov 12, 2013 12:14 PM (in response to Joelmorgan360)
It is now confirmed that your members in MW3/BO2 cannot be transferred to Ghosts automatically even now that Ghosts has been released. Ghosts Clans are managed through a new app simply called: Call of Duty. It can be downloaded to a mobile phone or tablet. For now not all phones and tablets seem compatible to it.
Since you missed early registration/migration of roster you would have to do this yourself. It will take time, but it is possible.

The burger is OK, but the bread is very bad quality. Of corse, bread is generally not a very healthy thing to eat in Colombia, since it most likely is very white, very sweet and not filled with any kind of nutrients that you need.
One serving with burger will not be enough if you are very hungry. The chili sauce is very good.
I have also tried the lasagna, a quite average dish. It was not fresh, but heated from frozen condition. It was served in a aluminium tray that was not reusable, and didn't come with a salad. I would rather go for the burger.
One of the staff was nice and service-minded, but another one working there seemed to be in a very bad mood and gave you the feeling of not being welcomed.
Lots of potential!
This place is amazing... a real example of the new vegetarian movement in Medellin, the owner has invented some of the tastiest homemade lentil and garbanzo burgers you'll find anywhere on earth. It's small inside, but there are still several tables and it's a nice environment. Nachos, ceviche, lasagnas, etc. The location is very interesting and near to the counterculture "Parque Periodista," just a half a block away on Calle 53. To top it off, they're open till at least 9:30 on weekdays and sometimes past 11 on weekends. Not to be missed while in Medallo!

Gardner Sage Library
March 11, 2009
Constructed in 1873, the Gardner A. Sage Library is the original library of the New Brunswick Theological Library, one of the oldest seminaries in the United States. European-trained architect Dietlef Lienau designed the building in the Romanesque, basilica style that was popular in Central Europe in the mid-nineteenth century. The Sage Library houses the Seminary's special collections including bibles from every country in the world, written in every language, and includes a room devoted to books of religious art. The Gardner Sage Library contains over one hundred fifty thousand books and over ten thousand bound periodicals, including three hundred periodicals on current subscription. More than one thousand additional publications are accessioned annually. This collection of theological works is ecumenically rich, and supplemented by unusually strong resources in the Classics, fine arts, social sciences, Dutch and Dutch Colonial Studies, and Reformed Church History. This collection is augmented by reciprocal borrowing rights with the Rutgers University library system.

Clyde Township under boil water alert
CLYDE TWP. - Clyde Township issued a boil water alert Tuesday after water pressure dropped, said Wayne VanNest, Kimball Township's Department of Public Works superintendent.
VanNest expected the alert would last at least until this morning.
Kimball Township supplies water to Clyde Township. Pressure in the system dropped after water levels fell in Kimball Township's water tower. VanNest said that occurred when communication systems between the water tower and the township's booster station went out. Because of that, the township's water pumps did not turn on.
VanNest said the water pumps were back online Tuesday and the issue had been temporarily fixed. A technician was expected to check out the system.

Looked on line for replacement parts and found this website along with drawings, videos and owners who had the same problems and followed their descriptions on how to fix the different items I had to deal with.
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
CustomerCarole from Noblesville IN
Simple removed the paperclip I put in place last summer to hold the rack in place, snapped both new parts where they belonged, and WOW, it's like new. So easy. And the best part was that I had the replacement parts in less than 24 hours! Talk about fast service.
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerDonna from Grapevine TX
I had changed a rack adjuster several years ago but decided to take a look at your videos before starting the repair. I watched both videos and then did exactly as suggested. The repair went very quickly and was extremely easy.
CustomerJay from Arlington WA
It took a few minutes for me to reallize that I needed to look at the way/direction the tine clip was in the existing position. It is important to mesh the part into all the correct positons before trying to complete the repair into the final snap/placement of the tine/clip. A minute or two of looking and (really important) not trying to replace both front AND rear tines at the same time! They are mirror images of each other. If you change one at a time, you can use the other as a template!
CustomerJeffrey from Mill Valley CA
It only took a couple of seconds to snap in the replacement dishrack tine pivot parts. I didn't know how easy it was to get replacement parts and lived with the problem for months. The parts were easy to figure out on the website and arrived in a couple of days. Problem solved.
CustomerPAM from GRAPELAND TX
Everything just snapped in to place.
CustomerZack from Suwanee GA
I snapped the old broken one off and snapped the new on.
CustomerGwen from Oconomowoc WI
pulled broken piece off and snapped new one on.
CustomerPaul from Sandy Springs GA
This repair did not require tools, but the positioning of the rack supports that the tine pivot holds in place did need to be positioned such that the tine pivot held the supports correctly in place without wiggling. The easiest way to ensure this is done correctly is to look at the other installed tine pivots in the dishrack and ensure the supports have no freedom to move longitudinally after the tine pivot is in place. If the supports can move forward and back freely or will not stay vertical, remove the tine pivot and ensure it is repositioned so the support will not move longitudinally. Have fun!

|External auditory canal paraganglioma: an atypical presentation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23020887 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective: We present the first published description of a painful paraganglioma of the external auditory canal. Atypical histopathology made the diagnosis difficult. We discuss the potential pitfalls of clinical diagnosis and treatment of such a case. Clinical presentation: A 49-year-old woman presented with left-sided otalgia, hearing loss and tinnitus. Physical examination revealed a firm swelling arising from the superior portion of the left external auditory canal. A clinical diagnosis of otitis externa was made. Intervention: There was minimal response to medical treatment. The swelling was aspirated, leading to brisk bleeding. A tumour was suspected from the computed tomography scan, and confirmed by a biopsy. The patient underwent excision of the paraganglioma. The histopathology was atypical, making diagnosis difficult. Conclusion: Such unusual masses of the external ear should always be borne in mind, especially when dealing with atypical presentations of commonly encountered diseases. Clinicians should have a low threshold for early intervention with imaging and biopsy.

Harvey Grant likes to go the extra mile.
The evidence is recorded in the odometers of vans used to transport young patients to Shriners Hospitals. As captain of the Upstate chapter of Road Runners, a group of Shrine Club volunteers who transport children to and from Shriners Hospitals in Greenville and Cincinnati, Grant has driven thousands of miles without pay.
A lifelong Greenville resident, he doesnt know how many hours hes given to the cause. Logs show that hes driven 4,212 hours on trips to the Shriners Burn Center in Cincinnati since the Shriners began the tally in 2000. And Grant was making the trip routinely for six years prior to that.
The trips to Cincinnati usually require at least two days and have required as many as 10. Hes also spent thousands of hours providing transportation to the local Shriners Hospital, which often means a daylong event.
Grant is part of a team that since 1990 has made 2,173 trips to the Greenville Shriners Hospitals for Children alone. Last year, the team made 298 trips, about six per week.
On the local trips, Grant typically leaves home before 5 a.m. to pick up a child in one of the states eight westernmost counties and get the child to the Shriners Hospital early in the day. Its often 7 p.m. before he gets home.
In between, he gets some appreciative smiles from young people who are burn victims or who are in need of orthopedic surgery. He also gets plenty of questions from families of the children.
They ask if I get paid by the hour or by the trip, Grant says with a smile. And when Im selling candy, people ask me if I get paid by the hour or by the candy bar.
The fact is, that for many of the 17 years Grant has been a Shriner and a Road Runner, hes used his own vacation days for the trips.
The 66-year-old gets a chuckle from the questions. The trips provide Grant, who is usually accompanied by his wife, Karen, a reward that cant be measured in dollars or time.
Next to her, he says, pointing toward his wife, being around these kids is my true love. Being in that van with them is like my second home.
The van transportation is free for patients and their families; the Shriners pay all travel expenses.
Grants volunteer crew is a small one, in part because volunteers are often needed on short notice to make the two-day, 860-mile round trip to Cincinnati. And trips to the Greenville hospital often become 16-hour days for drivers.
Grant, who as captain coordinates the efforts of the 13 Road Runners of the Upstate, is also very active in the fundraising side of the project. When he isnt driving, he is a near-daily fixture alongside the road as a candy-bar salesman.
Thats when I relax, says Grant. Any time I have a couple of hours, I go and sell candy. I love talking to people.
Grants volunteer efforts, in candy sales and driving time, are measured in Crown of Honor points awarded by the Hejaz Shrine Temple. Grants total is near 575,000.
Its interesting and I love it. I have no regrets about spending my time this way, Grant says of his volunteer efforts.
These kids are great. In these years, many times making three or four trips a week, Ive driven only one child who had a bad attitude, says Grant. Thats pretty remarkable when you consider hundreds of kids and all the pain they have to go through.
Karen Grant, a volunteer in the Daughters of the Nile (an organization that raises funds for the Shriners Hospital), says her husband gets frequent cards and calls from the children he transports.
We got a call one day last week from a girl who is soon getting married, Karen says. Shes 21 now, and Harvey has been taking her to the Cincinnati Burn Center since she was 6.
Grant, a former Parker High student who worked for 42 years at Greenville General Hospital and later Greenville Memorial Hospital, says the relationship with frequent travelers is almost like family.
Over the years of taking kids back and forth, you get to know them pretty well, says Grant. The kids are getting older, but in your head, you still see the little child.
When Grant joined the Road Runners team in 1994, shortly after he joined the Hejaz Shrine Club, he was often saddened by the challenges that his passengers had to face. But over time hes seen the heart-tugging results of life-improving surgeries and treatments.
When you see the work these doctors do, and see how it helps lives, says Grant, thats what keeps you going.

A depleted Eagles defensive unit added a key body on Sunday when Cody Sol was reassigned to Colorado from the St. Johns Ice Caps of the AHL.
Sol, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensemen, played the first 21 games of the season with Colorado, recording five points, 93 penalty minutes and 51 shots.
While with St. Johns he played in seven games, recording zero points and nine penalty minutes. His presence will be a boost for a team that recently lost both Aaron Schneekloth and Jake Marto to long-term injuries.
He is expected to join the team in Las Vegas, although it is unkown if he will play Monday night against the Wranglers.

A host of star musicians is set to gather and record a remake of Michael Jackson's Will You Be There for charity. The song was released as a single in 1993 and also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Free Willy.
Musicians expected to participate include Whitney Houston, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Usher, Dionne Warwick, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Jackson, Larry King's wife Shawn King and possibly Jennifer Hudson. Proceeds from the song are going to be split between the Larry King Cardiac Foundation and an unspecified charity close to Jackson.
Not surprisingly, Jackson was very generous with his money throughout his career — and we can expect more charity events like this one to take place in remembrance. The big one to watch is the planned tribute concert in Vienna, something Jermaine Jackson predicts could attract an audience of over 1 billion people through television alone. An event of that magnitude could raise a massive amount of cash for charity organizations, something we would love to see happen in honor of the King of Pop. Stay tuned — and check out Jackson's video for Will You Be There after the jump below.
