Human placental stem cells
Human stem cells hold great potential for use in stem cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine. Technologies developed to date, however, cannot create patient-specific embryonic cell lines; hence transplanting these cells poses innumerable immunological barriers. Another obstacle for embryonic stem cell use is their propensity to form tumors. Human placenta is a potential source of primitive fetal stem cells, yet it is poorly studied. Large volumes of placental tissue could provide abundant numbers of primary stem cells which will eliminate lengthy ex vivo stem cell propagation.
My hypothesis is that the tissue of human term placenta is a high capacity source of embryonic-like stem cells capable of differentiating into all tissue types in the human body. In this project, I will demonstrate the potential of cells of human term placenta to differentiate into different tissues. I will obtain cells from placenta tissue digests and isolate cells expressing surface markers of human embryonic stem cells. Cells will be characterized by their morphology, ability to propagate long-term in culture, expression of human embryonic cell-specific markers, and formation of tumors in mice. Analysis of gene structure will be performed in late passages. I will test the potential of embryonic-like cells to facilitate repair of injured epithelium.
Use of placental stem cells will greatly reduce the need for embryonic stem cells, which, to date, cannot be obtained without destroying human pre-implantation embryos. Placenta as a source of abundant numbers of stem cells will greatly lessen the need for stem cell line propagation. Cryopreservation of individual placentas would provide a life-long source of personal stem cells. If the aims of the application are achieved, novel therapies will likely result.
Stem cell-based therapies are the promising future of medicine. The application of this treatment is limited because of the restricted supply of appropriate stem cell lines, as it is necessary to match certain characteristics of the donor's and host's immune systems. I have carried out pioneering studies demonstrating that human placenta may be used as a source of such stem cell lines. These cell lines derived from human placenta will contribute to research in stem cell biology and clinical applications. Furthermore, placentas are readily available from any individual giving birth. As this approach does not require the donation or use of either human embryos or eggs, it will greatly reduce the ethical concerns, and may help overcome the limitations inherent in obtaining excess human embryos. As such, I will be able to generate stem cell lines that will reflect the diverse population of California. Diseases that can potentially be cured by the use of stem cell treatment afflict a significant number of individuals in California. These stem cell lines will be used in regenerative medicine research and cell replacement therapies as well as the development of new treatment approaches. The enhanced and extended lives of the individuals will represent an evident benefit; the savings to the health care system as a consequence of their cure will straightforwardly benefit all California taxpayers. Ultimately the knowledge and experience produced by the work proposed will contribute to the goal of making stem cell transplantation and new medical approaches available to a much broader group of patients, thus greatly extending the benefits to the affected individuals and to the taxpayers of California. Storage of human placentas as a source of patient-specific stem cells through the life of each individual will some day become a medical necessity, and California may become the pioneer in this breakthrough initiative.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- The District of Columbia National Guard this week is celebrating the promotion of its first female African American pilot in its history.
Army 1st Lt. Dina Elosiebo earned her Army aviator wings after completing Initial Entry Rotary Wing Flight School at Fort Rucker, Ala., making her the first female African-American pilot in D.C. Army National Guard history to do so.
"This is an extraordinary, historical event for us," said Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz, commanding general of the D.C. National Guard. "We're extremely proud of Lt. Elosiebo. She's a fine officer, and now, Army aviator."
Schwartz said every pilot who graduates from Fort Rucker's rigorous aviator training course - male, or female, regardless of their race or ethnicity - has accomplished something special.
He added that the military has moved well past the days when such accomplishments were unusual.
"The diversity of our armed forces is what makes us strong," Schwartz said.

Lots of Firepower, Still Not Scoring
NEWARK, N.J.—The last moments of the third period Saturday had left Zach Parise skating off the ice with a sense of confidence as he and the Devils prepared for overtime in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Twice, Parise had tested Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick in regulation's final five minutes, first curling around the Kings' net like the stripe of a candy cane to try to stuff the puck under Quick, later firing a slap shot from the left circle that Quick caught against his chest. And with fewer than 20 seconds to go, Ilya Kovalchuk had one-timed a shot that sailed over Quick's waffleboard pad and dinged the crossbar. It was merely a matter of time, Parise figured, before he or one of his teammates would score, before the Devils would win in overtime and tie the series at one game apiece.
They did none of those things.
"We felt we were doing the right things," he said after the Kings' 2-1 overtime victory, their second of the series. "Unfortunately, it didn't happen. We had good opportunities. We just didn't score."
Those final four words capture the essence of why the Devils are down two games to none to the Kings entering Monday's Game 3 at Staples Center. After averaging nearly three goals a game through the first three rounds of the playoffs, New Jersey has scored just twice in more than 141 minutes of ice time through the Finals' first two games. Kovalchuk and Parise, who combined for 68 goals during the regular season, are scoreless in the series so far, and the Devils' power play has been an abject disaster.
Over six man-advantage situations in Games 1 and 2, New Jersey has no goals and taken a mere five shots on Quick. Asked Saturday night what happened to make the team's power play so ineffective, Parise said, "I don't remember"—which was hardly surprising, given that there was so little that was worth remembering about the Devils' four opportunities.
"It's embarrassing, the way we're playing," Kovalchuk said. "We just think it'll be easy, but they've got a great penalty kill. We've got to be sharp. We've got to work, support each other."
Devils coach Peter DeBoer reshuffled his line combinations during the latter part of Game 2, putting Parise and Kovalchuk together and teaming Patrik Elias, Dainius Zubrus and Adam Henrique on the same unit. "I like how they played," DeBoer said. "It was just a shot in the arm to try to find a goal."
But while the Devils, in beating the Philadelphia Flyers and the Rangers in their previous series, could grind down their opponents with a relentless forecheck, there are two factors intrinsic to the Kings and their makeup that suggest DeBoer's lineup changes won't work.
One, Los Angeles possesses a corps of defensemen who are bigger, stronger and deeper than the Flyers' or Rangers', among them Willie Mitchell (6-foot-3, 212 pounds), Matt Greene (6-3, 231) and Rob Scuderi (6-1, 216). The Kings, then, are better equipped to fend off the Devils' pressure.
Two, Quick's play in goal has been superior to that of the Flyers' Ilya Bryzgalov and the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist. The Devils didn't score fewer than three goals against Bryzgalov in any of their five second-round games, and they piled up 10 against a usually outstanding Lundqvist over Games 4-6 of the conference finals. Quick, though, has presented an entirely different challenge, specifically in regard to his puck-handling ability, which has helped him neutralize New Jersey's forecheck.
"That's a very good team," Parise said. "They make you work. They play really structured, really well defensively. They don't give you a lot of quality opportunities, but we did have a couple throughout the game. We've got to put them in."

Whey Protein Powder Analysis - American Pure Whey (nearly 0) | Best Deal is ON 90%
Score +5
Thread DetailsLast Edited by chi March 2, 2013 at 07:25 AM
Always had the feeling American Pure Whey (APW) was suspect, they kept posting their on Slickdeals every several months under a new handle with the same content pretending to come off as some member that stumbled upon their deal. While other protein powder companies slowly increased prices due to increased corn feed, APW continually beat the competition from bulk dealers like Costco and Sams Club.
Independent analysis by two parties (1) (2) from Summer 2012 finds American Pure Whey to have little or no protein at 1%. Gaspari Nutrition's Myofusion gives 54% of claimed protein and Body Fortress 53%. Legit brand Optimum Nutrition came out on top for percent of measured to claimed protein at 91% (3).
I'm a bit pissed, because I've purchased protein in those same available flavors as APW from different companies several years back (2008-2010). Pretty sure they were probably from the same shady source. From now on, I'm sticking to more well known brands.
Conclusion: Stay away from American Pure Whey. Even though Walmart's Body Fortress is dirt cheap, it only contains about half of the protein claimed on the label making it a false economy. Gaspari Nutrition isn't much better than Body Fortress. If you can find a good deal on Optimum Nutrition, embrace it and rest assured that you're getting most of what you paid for.

Three case studies in the life of an admin
A day on Charly's network might bring out problems with Ethernet bonding, VLANs and switches, and rogue DHCP servers.
Managing a big enterprise network takes a sound basis of theoretical knowledge and a great deal of experience. Linux Magazine asked author and sysadmin guru Charly Kühnast for a couple of hands-on reports based on his daily experiences. At first, Charly mumbled something about being overworked and bolted down the hallway. But just two doors down, he stopped and talked his co-workers into helping him out with anecdotes from their daily life. And as the guys run a fairly impressive network, they have plenty of tales.

Today, the development and production areas must adapt far more quickly to new customer requirements than some years ago. An example of this is the trend towards verticalization: the closer integration of production and distribution enables companies to react to new customer preferences within a few days while reducing production costs.
Just as the retailers' requirements, consumer goods manufacturers will also have to take into account the demands of local markets. The major retail chains are increasingly targeting the countries of the former eastern bloc for expansion, for example. Manufacturers will have to beef up their production and logistics if they are to be able to act as primary suppliers in these countries too.
Finally, the producer must comply with legislative norms. This relates not only to the safety criteria that a product must meet, but ultimately also to its disposal (recycling). Another factor that must be taken into account is the EU-wide standardization of the warranty period at two years.
KPMG in Belgium works with consumer product clients in a large range of sectors, including clothing, textiles and footwear, cosmetics and toiletries, electrical and electronic equipment, personal and household goods, toys and sporting goods.

Lavender House Tea Room: "Dinner and Jazz" Top 5 Page for this destination McKinney Nightlife Tip by ATXtraveler
McKinney Nightlife: 3 reviews and 2 photos
First off, I would definitely like to say that McKinney is not the typical hotspot of night life. Most nights you can hear a pin drop when working your way around in North Texas. In particular though, there is a nice little spot to watch some live jazz musicians play, while enjoying a couple cocktails.
Lavender House is a nice little spot for some dessert, or even dinner and on Friday and Saturday nights, they bring in a live jazz band. I happen to know the owner, so we normally got a drink or two on the house, as the local bartender, Jef, is well known. That was not a typo, he is actually known as "One F Jef", or just call him the Kid and you will get a good conversation started.

Boards, as well as organizations, are most successful when firmly rooted in mission driven core values and creating long-term sustainable value for customers and shareholders. Boards have an obligation to stay engaged and provide the requisite skills to create and maintain a culture of constructive challenge and competence. An effective board is especially key in today's regulatory environment, particularly in the area of understanding strategy and succession planning.
The most successful CEOs learn how to effectively communicate and share information with their boards.
The establishment of an effective Board evaluation process, board leadership, the creation of board member criteria for candidates, directors and committee members, committee structures and charters, board education and director orientation, bylaws, ethics, conflict of interest policies and enterprise risk management policies are the key drivers to ensuring the fulfillment of fiduciary responsibilities as a director and board.

Looking for admissions, majors or financial aid? Visit our Admissions Site.
We all know that college is expensive. That's why you want to pick a college that gives you a lot of value for your money.
It's common to think that if something costs more, it must be better. But that isn't always true! At Grand View, you get the best of two worlds: a quality education for a modest price. That's value.
So what do you get?
Best of all you get a philosophy and an environment that helps you make the most of you! At Grand View you get an education that helps you develop as a whole person – mind, body and spirit. You won't just go to classes. You'll be completely engaged in learning … in community … in service … and in discovering your own life purpose. You'll leave here a different person than when you arrived.
So how much does it cost?
Many students find that the cost of Grand View is comparable to a state university. After grants and scholarships, 77% of 2014 full-time, residential GV freshmen paid tuition, fees, and room & board that were comparable to or less than the published in-state prices at Iowa's public universities.
Grand View's tuition is also a lot less than most other private colleges and universities in the Midwest – in fact, about 16% less than the median for comparable Midwestern institutions of similar size. Remember that what you and your family pay out-of-pocket looks like the graphic at the right.
The average financial assistance package for new first year students exceeds $22,800 with $15,000 in grants and scholarships and the remainder in loans and workstudy. And when you think about loans, which nearly all college students have these days, the higher the tuition, the more you're likely to borrow.
In the Fall of 2015, all in-coming Grand View freshmen will experience the most innovative financing program in the country, one that will help you plan the financing of your whole degree and save you money on tuition and reduce your borrowing. It's called the Financial Empowerment Plan. You can find out more about it here.
So why not go for the least expensive choice? Because your college education is the key to your future, a total experience that happens only once. At Grand View, you'll find a quality, comprehensive educational experience for a reasonable price. That's value.

Does anyone know what I should be expecting for my 12 week appointment?
My first appt they basically talked to me about eating healthy and we listened to the baby's heart beat and I got an ultrasound. Is the 12 week pretty much the same?
I totally freak out going to the doctor EVERY TIME even if I am going for good reasons! I would feel better if I knew what to expect!!
Hope everyone is starting to feel a little bit better!!!

Someone posted it on usenet, I swear I thought it was a joke from some troll. Then I checked eurosport.com.

RIP Il Pirata. So very, very sad.
Sad day for the world of pro-cycling
RIP marco
Well, dang!
I was never a fan of the Pirate, though I liked his presence in the sport. I thought he brought color to cycling.
Thirty-four years old. This is sad.
I wonder what the cause was.

That sort of shocked me.
Today I was trying to read a lot about Pantani (before this), coincidently.
I found a couple of interviews to read, for example.
I looked back at that picture of his face on the TDF website as he was on the podium after winning the stage into Courchovel in 2000. 'Look at that face,' (again, this was before I knew of this)
Definately a big loss.

Damn, I'm still in shock.
Some reports are now stating that a note and some drugs were found. However, we won't know for sure for some time. Mental illness / depression is so devastating. I think there is sometimes a very thin line between greatness and illness. Pantani gave us all much to think/type about. I hate to see this as his final legacy.
RIP Marco - you were a racer, and a character that I won't soon forget.
The giro is going to be so sad this year. It was really sad seeing the vuelta from last year, with poor Jimenez gone as well. Italian fans love their heroes, everyone must be just devastated!
You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. That's great...if you want to attract vermin.
I am sad this evening- I really liked the Pirate and I was glad to see him ride at least once in the Giro. I was looking forward to seeing him ride again in this year's Giro, and I'd hoped for some pictures.
The Italians must be so upset by this- I know they loved Pantani, but then again, a lot of Europeans did. The first time I heard about the Tour de France was from Europeans who came over to my dorm room for the cable tv because they wanted to see the Pirate- they were so excited that I watched him too, and I thought he was very motivating and exciting.
I'm saddened and disappointed... RIP Pirate...
It was funny how much he was like Chiappucci.
Both talented, egotistical Italian climbers with a grudge against a talented American racer.
Pantani and Armstrong in rarified air:
don d,
nice, classy tribute. That's what it's all about.
He was one of my favorites, even though he fell on bad times.

rip il pirata
For me, he seemed to have exploded onto the season in the Indurain years. You couldn't help but root for the little guy, pulling away from everyone on the big climbs. Later, he got cocky even megalomanical and I lost interest in him.
As I recall, elephantino was the nickname given to him very early in his professional career. After he started promoting himself as il pirata, Lance kept tagging him as elephantino to get a rise out of him.
He did make the game interesting.
This had to have been the devastating results of depression resulting in overdose. Sad that a 34 year old would end their own life.
I thought he was the angry type and wouldn't bottle himself up like that.
Such a pity....he was an awesome rider to watch, attacking on the steepest of climbs. I dont think that he will be forgotten, in particular by me as I have a team Polti thermal jacket.

Giorgio Armani,
Acqua Di Gio Men (Eau de Toilette Spray 100ml)
Drawing inspiration from the island of Pantellerie, Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani is a fresh citrus fragrance that carries wind, water and freedom. A perfect balance of sunny warmth and salty sea water that carries the senses immediately to a tropical paradise.
Lemon, lime, orange and bergamot offer a platter of citrus merged with sweet jasmine and neroli. A cool ocean heart takes a strong hold of sea notes and splashes it with rose and freesia to instil a crisp purity. A temperate and cushy base melds musk and amber with a woody face of cedar and oakmoss.

If you're buying them, I'm selling them. Social media folks, that is, for a great cause and for a good price. Some of the industry's top names have agreed to auction their consulting time order to raise much needed money for Team in Training, the fundraising arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which funds medical research for blood cancer cures and provides patient and family support programs.
On Oct. 21, I will participate in the Nike Women's Marathon, which is Team in Training's largest event, in order to raise money to support this incredible organization. The fundraising minimum is $2,500 but my goal is to raise $10,000. All winning bids can be paid directly to Team in Training through my official marathon fundraising site and may be tax deductible (be sure to consult with your tax professional re: charity auction laws; however any individual donations made through the fundraising page ARE tax deductible).

Everyone has their favorite way of using the internet. Many of us search to find what we want, click in to a specific website, read what's available and click out. That's not necessarily a bad thing because it's efficient. We learn to tune out things we don't need and go straight for what's essential.

The main reason for the lack of updates in the gearcorner of my website has been the lack of interesting news to write about. Now, the guy named Bootsy aka Variety of Sound just released his take on classic chorus / tape delay simulation with NastyDLA.
French developer Lowcoders updates his free tape delay KingDubby to version 1.5.2 and makes it available as universal binary to support modern Mac OS versions. Windows users will have to wait for the release of version 2.0 which is currently in development.
KingDubby does a solid job at doing that screamy tape delay sound and is said to be amongst the best available ones for Apple users. I don't have a mac myself but a good friend of mine put his hands in fire for this one, so if it sucks please let me know and i'll bitchslap him for real ;)
Last not least, Lowcoders.fr are currently looking for feedback on the latest betas of their plugin. If you find a bug or annoyance, head to their website and tell them!
KingDubby is available from the Lowcoders.fr website.
Togu Audio Line releases a new version of their delay, suited for dirty, dubbish echoes and such. Dub-II comes with a new audio engine, very smooth low- and highpass filters, standard set of delay times, a nice oldschool VU meter and a LFO for delaytime, lowpass filter and stereo depth.

Ashton v. Kentucky
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Ashton v. Kentucky, 384 U.S. 195 (1966)
Ashton v. Kentucky
No. 619
Argued April 28, 1966
Decided May 16, 1966
Petitioner was indicted and convicted for violating the Kentucky common law crime of criminal libel. The indictment charged "the offense of criminal libel" committed "by publishing a false and malicious publication which tends to degrade or injure" three named persons. The trial court charged that
"criminal libel is defined as any writing calculated to create disturbances of the peace, corrupt the public morals, or lead to any act which, when done, is indictable."
The court also charged that malice and falsity were essential elements of the offense. The Kentucky Court of Appeals, in affirming the conviction, ruled that breach of the peace is not a constitutional basis for imposing criminal liability, and held that common law criminal libel is "the publication of a defamatory statement about another which is false, with malice."
1. Where an accused is convicted under a broad construction of a law which would make it unconstitutional, the conviction cannot be sustained on appeal by a limiting construction which eliminates the unconstitutional features of the law. Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham, 382 U. S. 87. P. 384 U. S. 198.
2. Because the offense was defined at trial as the publication of a writing calculated to disturb the peace, petitioner was judged by an unconstitutionally vague standard which required calculations as the the reaction of the audience to which the publication was addressed.
3. Although vague laws in any setting are impermissible, laws which touch on First Amendment rights must be carefully and narrowly drawn. Pp. 384 U. S. 200-201.
406 S.W.2d 562 reversed.

A Time Not to Destroy
Why does the Israeli government intend to demolish the hundreds of homes of the settlers in Gush Katif and in the northern Gaza Strip?
"As a rule, residential buildings of the settlers, and sensitive buildings, including synagogues, will not be left in place. The State of Israel will try to transfer other facilities, including industrial, commercial and agricultural structures, to an international third party, which will use them for the benefit of the Palestinian population that is not involved in terrorism." So says Article 8 ("Real estate") of the amended disengagement plan approved by the government on June 6. The formulators of the decision apparently were embarrassed to write that the residential buildings will be "demolished" and preferred the euphemism "will not be left in place."
Why were they embarrassed? Because it's uncomfortable to write in an official document of a civilized country that the government is planning on wholesale demolition of buildings that serve as homes and can continue to do so in the future. "Will not be left in place" doesn't sound as bad, it's as though we're dealing with items that can normally be taken or left.
Why does the Israeli government intend to demolish the hundreds of homes of the settlers in Gush Katif and in the northern Gaza Strip?
Several reasons have been offered. First, because the settlers - particularly those who will refuse to abandon their homes of their own free will, but will be removed by force - will try to return and to infiltrate their houses before the Israel Defense Forces leaves the area or afterward, and are liable to cause serious incidents. But the conclusion to be drawn from that is not that the homes have to be demolished, but that, after the evacuation of the settlers, we have to be strict about preventing infiltration from both sides of the separation fence, and to supervise the transit points carefully.
Second, because Hamas terrorists will rush to seize the buildings, and will celebrate the expulsion of the Jews and the victory over Israel from the rooftops. The conclusion doesn't mean that the buildings must be demolished, but that we must make sure that a less destructive group receives control over the areas of the settlements. Preferably, that would mean a third party backed by an international force, and if not, representatives of the Palestinian Authority, which according to estimates has about 20,000 soldiers under its command who are trained to maintain order.
Third, we must create conditions that will enable the Palestinians to build multistory buildings in the area of the settlements, in order to provide housing for the hundreds of thousands who are living in the refugee camps in shockingly crowded conditions. That's a lofty thought, but it's not a justification for destroying one- and two-story buildings. It's true that the existing buildings can absorb only a small percentage of the refugees who are in need of housing, but the decision as to what type of houses they will live in should be left to those responsible for them. This reason reflects an intolerable paternalism.
And there are three reasons for not demolishing the houses in the Gush Katif and northern Gaza Strip settlements. First, so that Israel will not be accused of vandalizing the country, the accusation that will undoubtedly be raised at the sight of the bulldozers mowing down the houses. None of the three doubtful reasons mentioned above in favor of the destruction of homes will convince enlightened people of the justice of the act.
Second, leaving the houses as they are will constitute compensation of sorts for the damages caused to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip as a result of the acts of demolition and the razing of agricultural land carried out during the course of our war against terror. It isn't necessary to cast doubt on the justice of these activities, in order to raise this consideration: The demolition and razing were the right thing to do in order to save the lives of Israeli civilians and soldiers. But in the course of their implementation, masses of Palestinian citizens who don't participate in terrorism suffered greatly. If a few thousand of them will enjoy an improvement in their standard of housing because of the evacuation of Gush Katif and the settlements in the northern Gaza Strip, we will be able to recall the demolition and the exposure with fewer pangs of conscience.
And third, in the historical accounting that we can undoubtedly expect one of these days (as far off as it may be) regarding the real estate lost by Arab residents of Eretz Israel since 1948, and by Jews who lived until then and afterward in Arab countries, and were forced to leave, we will be able to introduce the real estate in Gush Katif and in the northern Gaza Strip into the equation. In its entirety.

In the article you can find at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~turk/my_papers/schange.pdf, precisely at page 2 of the .pdf, there is a functional E which is said to be a measure of the aggregate squared curvature of the surface f(x,y) over the region of interest. I don't know why this functional represent this. Thanks.

The second fundamental form (a matrix which represents extrinsic curvatures) of the graph of $f$ is given by $A = (1 + |\nabla f|)^{-1/2} \nabla^2 f$ where $\nabla^2 f$ is the matrix of second partial derivatives. Thus the functional is
$$ E(f) = \int_\Omega (1+|\nabla f|) |A|^2, $$
so up to the factor of $(1 + |\nabla f|)$ it is just the $L^2$ norm of the second fundamental form. In particular it is zero only when the graph of $f$ is a plane, and will be large when the graph of $f$ is highly curved; so it is a (slightly warped due to the $\nabla f$ term) measurement of the total extrinsic curvature of the surface.

Data on the residential housing market has been getting better. Prices and sales activity have both improved, and data from the major big-box home improvement stores Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) suggests that homeowners and contractors are back at work fixing up properties.
While the aforementioned data has been incremental, many housing-related stocks have already posted strong runs. One of them, paint and coatings manufacturer Valspar (NYSE:VAL) is already up 75% over the last two years and about 46% over the past year. While declining TiO2 prices and improving demand should both help results, as will a growing presence in emerging markets, the stock seems to already be testing the high end of its typical valuation range.
SEE: 8 Signs Of A Real Estate Rebound
Okay Results In Fiscal Q2
Valspar's second quarter results highlight some of that gap between present-day performance and investor expectations for a meaningful recovery in business. Revenue was flat this quarter, despite a 7% volume increase. About half of that volume increase was acquired growth tied to the company's deal with Ace Hardware. By segment, paint revenue increased 3%, while coatings revenue fell 1% on weaker industrial demand.
Margins were a little interesting. Although titanium dioxide suppliers like DuPont (NYSE:DD) and Huntsman (NYSE:HUN) have been seeing serious erosion in prices, Valspar saw a one-point decline in gross margin from last year. Keep in mind, though, that Valspar isn't as leveraged to TiO2 as Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:SHW) or PPG (NYSE:PPG) and TiO2 isn't the only relevant cost input. In any case, operating income did improve 4% on an adjusted basis, with double-digit growth in paints offsetting a high single-digit decline in coatings.
SEE: Zooming In On Net Operating Income
Overseas Growth Is Nice, But Should The Company Reinvest In The U.S.?
Normally investors cheer American companies that place a big emphasis on growing their international businesses, particularly their emerging markets business. Certainly Valspar has looked to position themselves accordingly – the company has the #2 decorative/architectural paint business in Australia and the #3 business in China. While that latter number sounds good, the Chinese market is extremely fragmented, and the #3 slot isn't worth as much in market share as you might think.
When it comes to the U.S., Valspar is a somewhat more distant rival to companies like PPG and Sherwin-Williams. Together, Sherwin-Williams and PPG (after completing the acquisition of Akzo Nobel's (OTC:AKZOY) U.S. paint business will have about three-quarters of the U.S. market, split roughly evenly.
As Akzo cited insufficient scale as its primary reason for selling the business, I do have some concerns about Valspar's position. Now, it's true that Valspar has a sizable overall business and there are some synergies with the coatings business. The company's deal with Ace Hardware could also help improve that share, and the company enjoys a relationship with Lowe's, but I think there's work to be done here at home if Valspar is going to really enjoy the benefits of the eventual improvement in residential demand.
SEE: Economic Indicators – Housing Starts
The Bottom Line
On its own, I would not be that worried about Valspar's market share position in the U.S.. I like the company's diversified offerings of paints and coatings (including the Cabot line and its large packaged goods coatings line), and I believe Valspar can benefit from improving input costs. What's more, this company has a solid record when it comes to paying (and raising) dividends.
Combined with valuation, though, I have more concerns about the stock. Stocks in this sector often trade at a range of EV/EBITDA multiples of 8x to 12x, and Valspar is already close to the high end of that range for its forecasted EBITDA over the next 12 months. Given the slow pace of the housing recovery (and the company's performance relative to expectations), I'm just not sure I see the reasoning for paying a premium.
I realize that stocks like PPG, Sherwin-Williams, and RPM International (NYSE:RPM) have done even better over the past year, but I also think they're better companies. I suppose I can understand investors who think there's a catch-up trade here, but I would prefer to go with different names to play that much-awaited housing recovery.
At the time of writing, Stephen D. Simpson did not own shares in any of the companies mentioned in this article.
