Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
My laptop keyboard is not working right. While I type, many keys do not respond, I have to press them repeatedly to get them to work. If I hold anything down it only will give one letter, not multiple like normal.
Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
I have also been experiencing this issue - since I bought the machine! HP please respond!!! We need to know what is going wrong - why the keys aren't consistently responding...
Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
Have you disconnected all (if any) external devices like keyboard, mouse, usb-drives etc
Which windows version are you using?
Which BIOS version do you have?
HP Notebook PCs - Keyboard Combinations of 4 or More Keys Fail to Register With the Operating System
Which version of HP Power Assistant is installed?
HP Notebook PCs - Keyboard Exhibits Erratic Behavior
Which version of synaptics touchpad driver?
Does the keyboard issue occur if you start windows in safe-mode?
Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
HP, please wake up to solve this problem, OH! really, you require all the laptop users to check BIOS settings? it's just funny.
as a matter of fact, this problem still bothers me when I'm trying to posting this post!!!

Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
Did the previous poster actually read any of the links I provided? In what way are those irrelevant to the keyboard issue reported by the two first posts? Especially interesting is the HP customer advisory letter about a known BIOS issue:
(start quote)
Keyboard combinations of 4 or more keys (for example, H+U+O+F11) fail to register with the operating system. Additionally, when typing quickly on the keyboard, some keystrokes may fail to register with the operating system (for example, when quickly entering 10 letters, only 9 may register and appear on screen.)
HP ProBook 4530s Notebook PC"
(end quote)
It may very well be a hardware issue with the keyboards. But generally it is quite common to check for any software conflicts before sending a device for hardware repairs. If contacting HP support (or any other manufacturer) they will most likely follow a checklist regarding software issues.
Maybe the first two posters already did extensive troubleshooting prior reporting the keyboard issue here but it is impossible to know since it wasn't mentioned in the posts. Actually their issue might already be solved by hardware repair or software updates but we don't know since it hasn't been reported here.
Read this related thread and make your own qualified conclusions about this issue.
I do not work for HP and do not represent them in any way!
Friendly advice: Don't hit the keyboard if you are angy as it might break.
Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
The problem i have with the keyboard is while in the middle of typing the keyboard completely stops working. The only way to get it to work again is to restart the computer. There is no rhyme or reason for this happening one minute it's fine next nothing.

I have somwhat similar problem with my 4530s keyboard. W,S and X keys completely stops working sometimes and then it stars working again, somtimes after a restart and sometimes a few repeated pushes does the trick.
I have already reformatted my notebook more than once and installed correct drivers with no luck. I have also upgraded my BIOS to see if that fixes the problem but the keyboard problem just reappeared a few hours later.
I need to know if its just some "hp bug" or that its a hardware problem and i need to replace my keyboard, because i dont want to waste good money on something that could be fixed.
I am running Windows 8.1pro x64 (up to date)
Some professional help would be really appreciated.
EDIT: It turns out dust accumulated underneath the keyboard was the culprit and a thorough cleaning and servicing fixed the issue completely.
Re: Probook 4530s keyboard not working properly
I suspect that the Probook 4530 has problems with its keyboard device driver (at least when you actually load programs, one or more of which may interefere with the driver). I have replaced the keyboard. (HP provides a free replacement keyboard and I thank HP for that.) But the problem remains. The workaround I found is to double click the cap lock, each shift key, the ctrl key, Fn, windows key, alt, alt gr. This then frees up the keyboard from the "stuck" key, at least for awhile. Since the keyboard itself is not sticking and the stuck key is always the control key and shift lock, I highly suspect that the device driver is buggy.
As others have noted, HP has issued no updated driver. As I wrote at the start, I suspect that some other program (like Skype) interacts with the driver to create the problem and HP doesn't test the driver with real life programs running. In any case, since the problem, while persistant, is not continual, it would be a bear to debug.

Married or not - who cares!!!
Once married you lose your fans - is an age-old impression that has been hounding the entertainment industry - be it Hollywood, Bollywood or Tellywood! Single stars seem more of a rage as the idea to pursue looks more feasible.
But the people who subscribe to this belief are diminishing in count. Today the audience is quite reasonable and simply expects a noteworthy performance from their beloved actor. The significance of the status quo of their off-screen life has belittled.

Awesomeness. This game has the most ridiculous boss design ever. I love it.

Awesomeness. This game has the most ridiculous boss design ever. I love it.
I'm thinking drop Yosuke. He is the LVP after all.
the 45 minute + eps are awsome. Waiting for one thats an hour
Victory Lap! Victory Lap! Haha. I was scared that you guys wouldn't be able to pull it out of the hat, but you did! So congrats you beat Persona 4, now only 5 more dungeons to get through.
Good episode.
Great job guys, Kanji gave me some trouble, you handled it nicely I think.
You guys did a great job with that boss(although I'll admit I was thinking "YOU FOOLS! USE DEKAJA TO CANCEL OUT HEAT WAVE OR ELSE YOU WILL BE DOOOOOOOMED!" several times throughout the fight :P), and I hope this satisfies those people who go "waaaah they're not doing everything optimally waaaah". Vinny/Jeff do seem to realize that stat-altering spells are worth it(at least in boss fights) and that Yukiko, as awesome as her fire magic is, will (and or at least should) often be dedicated to healbot duty.
Now they should be able to take on the Contrarian King so that they can get Yukiko's best weapon in the entire game. Hopefully they realize that the +SP is infinitely better than anything the buyable weapons can give her, especially since Yukiko never physically attacks anything anyway.
and this is why we don't hide our gay feelings.
How about Dragon Quest VIII for the next endurance run? :)
"Too bad half of it is your amnesiac inability to remember skills for like 2 minutes (which guy has the debuff?, Who has Media?)"
It's kinda hard to remember skills when they're called really bizarre things like "Gularaga" and "Rakajulababa" instead of sensible names like "Heal" or "Increase Attack Power."
Right on! great work on fighting that boss. I hate fighting bosses that have two lackeys beside them always annoying.
Way to go guys!!
nice and Yukiko is awesome
It's kinda hard to remember skills when they're called really bizarre things like "Gularaga" and "Rakajulababa" instead of sensible names like "Heal" or "Increase Attack Power."
awesome fight, that guy fucked me up first time around. you guys are really doing this, and it's been great to watch unfold
great work. Surprised how smoothly it went for you. Looking forward to the story segments continuing... even though I know what's coming I love hearing the comments.
Hanging out at textile shops leads to popularity.
nice work that seemed tougher than the yukiko boss which is weird since alot of people were saying it was down hill from there...
hey guys Dekaja worked because it completley took off his HIT Bonus and it lowered his ATTACK but it couldnt lower his attack enough because it was through the roof!.
Remeber that next time
Good job on the boss guys.
Are you guys going to review this game when you finish?
by the way u are going to the wrong stake place,
it is Ayias just below the place you were going.
About the next boss being harder: I don't remember that. If memory serves me, the next dungeon is R's and the next 'real' boss is a fight against the 'head' of someone. It was very easy and straightforward, for me at least.
Persona 4 is an easy game. I was only worried early on because Vinny wasn't fusing and they weren't going to debuff/buff. Now that they are fusing and buffing/debuffing, there's nothing to worry about on the boss front unless they screw up badly on the fusion side, keeping shite skills or not fusing for awhile.
And there are 8 dungeons in P4; not 7. There are only 7 if you don't get the proper ending.
Hell yeah! Great work kickin' his un-ambiguously gay shadow-ass!
u guys hav the memory of a 90 year old with alzehiemers.
I swear though guys, you have GOT to start investing in memory enhancing products. And I'm not talking about what you forget day to day, because that's understandable. No what kills me is what you guys forget minute to minute. :D
Poor Kanji :(
They don't seem to know how to play this game.
strangest boss I've seen
Go Vinny, Go!
Shadow Kanji = Subtle...
lol i dont want to be on of those guys but its exasperating watching you guys play sometimes :P
Seems to me like the best thing to do would be, take out the tough guy, then the buff guy, then the main guy.
That was great.
I got my Persona 4 today and just checked here to see what level you where at this point, which is where I am now. We both are on 23, so I will hopefully have a chance.
Would've thought that Shadow Kanji was weak to physical attacks from the girls. :)
I love the fact I'm only up to 47 in ER and thats NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HALFWAY.
Giant Bomb: keepin' it awesome.
" Go Vinny, Go! "Why do you write that on every single Endurance Run?
That was an awesome episode :D
Man, I don't even play this game. In fact, based on what I'm seeing, I don't even really LIKE this game.
And yet it brings me such terrible pain to watch you play because damn son, from one RPG player to another, you kinda suck.
I spend my time watching this screaming at my computer screen to tell you what to do. :P
Man, Vinny is slooooowwwwww. Seriously, instead of talking your way through the bad moves, just do the right ones, like casting defense down and then wailing the shit out of them.
And stop bashing Yukiko, she'll save your ass more than anyone else.
That was good. The battle took a little longer than I expected though. They should have kept casting Tarukaja on Charlie instead of Chie and focused on using Garula and Agilao more often. Regardless, I hop they continue to get better.
I need to realize you guys can't hear me through space and time and stop yelling at my computer.
But dam is it addicting to watch this
just beat this boss (while watching the video, but doing a different strategy. Kill nice guy, then tough, then kanji), and I must say, I got really lucky. Yukiko essentially dodged every single hit directed toward only her, I had a good thing going with me and chie fighting, yosuke and yukiko healing (mainly because my guy got poisoned, and i ran out of tea).
word up to your mother, Skull-o-Mania.
"It's like calling a bald guy curly, tough guy's the one you need to look out for."
"Hello Skullmania"
Haters must get SO mad that Jeff and Vinny keep winning.

{RP}SuperNatural: New Terrors
Sarah got me hooked on that show!!
It's been awhile since Sam and Dean and John finally killed the demon, and so far, it seems that the world's peaceful.
Well, to the naive people, it's peaceful.
There are still psychic kids being born, and their mothers are still dying after supposedly seeing their husbands in two rooms at once.
Just what, exactly, is going on?
Sarah, did you finish the monster list thing?
Woman in White: A tragic ghost found all over. This womans husband cheated on her. This knowledge drove her mad, resulting in a temporary loss of sanity. She kills her children. When she realises what has happens, she kills herself.
Demon: An entity from Hell, in their own form they are simply a black cloud. The sign of a possessed person is the all-black eyes that appear when you speak the name of God in Latin, Christo and holy water in very painful. To exorcise, use the Ritual Romanum.
Vampire: Vampire folklore is crap. Crosses dont hurt, neither does holy water. You can only kill by beheading, and they do sleep during the day. But they will wake up. If you get Dead Man's blood into them, it weakens them.
Telekinetics: Well, no point posting about this. XD
Ghosts: Souls of folks that died horrifically or have a reason to return from the grave to warn of other malicious spirits. To 'lay' a ghost, you must salt and burn the bones.
Wendigo: A creature fabled to be made of ice. This creature is made when a starved person eats human flesh, giving them special powers. They are amazing hunters; able to mimic human voices. Silver hurts them as does fire. The messiest way to kill one is to chop of its head with a silver axe after shattering its icy heart.
Mirrors/Portraits, Salt, candles: It is believed that when a person dies, their spirit can enter mirrors. Because of this, in Ireland mirrors and pictures. are covered after death, and to and portraits ward off the Devil candles are put around the body. Salt keeps away demons and spirit.
Shapeshifter: These are born so mutated But with gifts. They can change into someone else. The change is horrific, involving them ripping away the old body to expose the new. Leaving behind a pool of really sick gunk. XP
Deava: Invisible spirit people, very strong. All you can see are their shadows.
Reapers: Like the Grim Reaper, they wear suits though. You can only see them if they come after you.
Ghost cars: If a person dies in their car, their spirit can become infused with the car. Maybe because of the mirrors?
Tulpa: A being made purely by beleif. A symbol is needed to create it.
Sthriga: A witch like creaturem, it s*ck life-force from children. Think Harry Potter Dementors.
And DONE! I think.
Ooc: I think that's all. I thought the Wendigo could also be killed by throwing a molotov cocktail at them, though..
Ooc: Nah, that was a flare gun Dean used.
Ooc: I could've sworn it was a molo. x-x
Ooc: Nope, he held it like a gun.
Ooc: Maybe he chucked it?
It was a normal night, a bit cloudy, but normal nonetheless.
A car drove quietly down the road, the two people inside laughing about something or other, and something flickered down the road.
The car stopped, and the guy hit the wheel. "Dammit, I just bought this thing!"
"It'll be fine, Lloyd." His girlfriend leaned out the window, and screamed as something barreled at them.
It was a strange scarecrow, with a sickle, and it was aiming right at her.
The girl ducked back in the car as a gunshot rang out through the night. The scarecrow fell to the ground, disintigrating as an unearthly scream echoed from it, and a girl in the shadows lowered the .45. Her eyes were hidden by glasses.
"Was THAT any better, Sam?"
"Don't get smart with me. I still don't trust you."
She stuck her tongue, which was pierced with a barbell-like rod, out at him. She was roughly twenty years old, but she still wore braces on her bottom teeth due to them being hit very hard when she was eightteen. Her hair was black streaked with red. "I'm back to me again, ass."
"How should I know? Never knew you before."

Louisville cheerleader Dani Cogswell was found dead in her campus apartment Monday morning, just hours after posting a #SelfieSunday to Instagram. Police are investigating but suspect no foul play. She was 22.
Since rumors of her death began surfacing Monday morning, cheerleaders across the country have been flooding the #RIPDani hashtag, recalling her greatest moments as an all-star cheerleader and at the University of Louisville. Multiple Twitter users wrote that Cogswell is now "flying high" among the angels. (She was a flyer.)
But at least one University of Kentucky fan couldn't resist mentioning the Louisville-UK rivalry along with her rest-in-peace message.
@AlexRahrah98 appears to have deleted her Twitter account after other cheerleaders chastised her.
The circumstances of Cogswell's death remain unknown. Her cheer coach, Todd Sharp, said in a statement, "The University of Louisville spirit program is devastated to lose one of our beautiful and talented team member. Dani had a contagious smile and a spirit that would ignite the room. She will be greatly missed."

Where does the story Freak the Mighty take place?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The geographical setting of Freak the Mighty is Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The most important settings are what Rodman Philbrick describes as social settings and imaginary settings. The social setting are of two types. The most imporatant type is domestic social settings, where people live. These settings are symbolic of the metaphoically crippled people and families who dwell there. They are violent, ugly, dirty and unwholesome. The second type is the social instutional settings, like hospitals and schools. These settings have more order and cleanliness and wholesome life but they are almost equally violent; violence may erupt at any moment toward the diseased and disabled as they are taunted, teased and mercilessly ridiculed. The third setting is the imaginary setting. The boys can turn moments of pain and despair and fear into adventure in wonderlands. It is through these imaginary settings that the boys find a means to make their lives livable.
I had to smile a bit when I read your question because it's not really fair to ask the "where" of this story. Why? Well, the actual answer to your question is known as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The author, Philbrick, himself has told us this, so we can be sure of it. Portsmouth, New Hampshire is where Philbrick went to high school, so it was a perfect place to set the story.
HOWEVER, the question isn't fair because lots of the story is set among Freak the Mighty's IMAGINARY adventures! Kevin, for example, is always imagining his body without the effects of pain and prefers himself in this imaginary world. At one point, the two search for dragons in an imaginary land. In another scenario, Kevin instructs max to get to the medical research area of the hospital. Why? Because that is where the cool robot bodies for Kevin are being hidden! So, as you can see, the "medical research area" doesn't really exist. The hospital where Kevin spends a lot of his time, however, DOES exist.
So, I guess we can say, if we are going to get more specific than Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that the setting of the story can take place in the school of Portsmouth and the hospital of Portsmouth and the homes of Portsmouth and the countryside of Portsmouth. However, none of these elements of setting are more important than Kevin's imagination! There is a perfect quote that exemplifies the importance of this imagination. I will end with this:
Remembering is just an invention of the mind... It means that if you want to, you can remember anything, whether it happened or not... You don't need a time machine if you can remember.

not what i came for(DNB) but it still sounds awesome.
by that i mean it seems a bit to up-beat for DNB :/
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Great track, I like the melody lines and how they weave together nicely. The synths sound very nice too what did you use? My criticism is that the drums were a bit bland, I know its dnb but some nice drum fills in there along with some cool high hat rhythms would've really brought the drums to life. 4 stars.
I totally agree with you about the drums, it has been some time and i already switched to some drums that give me more ability and ways to use them, all my synths are from native instruments products.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Love the beat! Enjoy your five stars!
Thanks man!

Muni Yields Set for Biggest Weekly Drop in a Month as Sales Ebb
Yields in the $3.7 trillion municipal market fell this week by the most in a month as Treasuries rallied and local borrowing declined.
Ten-year benchmark munis yielded 2.28 percent today, after touching an 11-month low of 2.27 percent yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The interest rate's 0.07 percentage point drop this week is the most since mid-April.
Tax-exempt debt is following federal securities, which have gained on political unrest in Ukraine and concern that China's economy may slow, said David Manges, muni trading manager at BNY Mellon Capital Markets LLC in Pittsburgh.
"A strong performance in the taxable markets has led to a buying binge this week in munis," Manges said."We're the tail on the dog, but we're wagging nonetheless."
Treasuries outpaced tax-exempt debt this week. Ten-year muni yields reached about 91.3 percent of the interest rate on benchmark federal bonds yesterday, the highest since May 2. The higher the percentage, the cheaper munis are relative to Treasuries.
States and cities sold about $4.6 billion of long-term, fixed-rate debt this week, the least for a non-holiday week since early April. Issuance is down 27 percent this year from the same period of 2013.
"Accounts have had to buy in the secondary to make up for a lack of primary supply," Manges said.
As municipalities cut back on borrowing for capital projects, investors are pouring money into mutual funds focusing on local debt. Investors added $616 million to the funds this past week, following a $943 million inflow the week before, the biggest addition since January 2013, Lipper US Fund Flows data show.

Betfair, operator of the world's most popular exchange wagering platform, has become title sponsor of New Jersey's most prestigious race, the $1 Million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) at Monmouth Park.
Betfair, operator of the world's most popular exchange wagering platform, has become title sponsor of New Jersey's most prestigious race, the $1 Million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) at Monmouth Park.
When Monmouth Park begins a new season of racing Saturday, May 14, fans will notice a few new items around the racetrack, including a banner for Zayat Stables' American Pharoah, this year's inductee into the Oceanport, N.J. track's Hall of Champions.
For the first time exchange wagering will be available in the U.S. when Betfair U.S. launches a platform for New Jersey residents May 10.
Some 3-year-olds who have shown potential will take aim at a breakthrough victory in the Gotham Stakes March 5 at Aqueduct Racetrack but the promise of those 3-year-olds will be tested by Sunny Ridge.
The Triple Crown grind goes against Jason Servis' preference for giving his horses ample recovery time, and even though he's running the Withers (gr. III) winner in the Gotham, a Kentucky Derby (gr. I) run is no sure thing.
I enjoyed catching up with owner-breeder Dennis Drazin last week for a Winner's Circle feature in the Feb. 13 Blood-Horse magazine. read blog
This week we take a closer look at Sunny Ridge, winner of the $250,000 Withers Stakes (gr. III) on Jan. 30 at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Sunny Ridge would not be denied his first graded stakes win Saturday, Jan. 30 as he outlasted Vorticity to win the $250,000 Withers Stakes (gr. III) at Aqueduct Racetrack.
The New Jersey Racing Commission has issued an exchange wagering license to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority through its agent Betfair US and manager Darby Development.
Monmouth Park officials said given the intense competition for gambling dollars and horses in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, the numbers from its just-completed 2015 race meet held up fairly well versus last year.
Sunny Ridge, a member of Holy Bull's final crop, went four-wide into the stretch and cruised unchallenged to victory in the $100,000 Sapling Stakes for 2-year-olds Sept. 6 at Monmouth Park.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled, by a 2-1 vote, that New Jersey's 2014 law authorizing sports betting at casinos and racetracks is illegal. An appeal, however, is planned.
Monmouth Park officials want Triple Crown winner American Pharoah back at the Oceanport, N.J. track and are working to entice his connections with a $1 million race in September, the Asbury Park Press reports.
The New Jersey State Senate honored Monmouth Park and the racetrack's recent success in hosting Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who captured the William Hill Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) on Aug. 2.
American Pharoah's dominating victory in the William Hill Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) paced Monmouth Park in New Jersey to a record-breaking day.
When the racing spotlight falls on Monmouth Park this weekend, Dennis Drazin, who has helped guide the track in recent years, is confident fans who attend and watch on national television will see a top track.
Monmouth Park officials said July 30 that they reached out to other tracks to try to create a post-Triple Crown three-race series that would have carried a bonus.
Owner Ahmed Zayat has decided the $1 million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) on Aug. 2 will be the Triple Crown winner's first start after a historic 5 1/2-length triumph in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I).
Monmouth Park reported strong gains in pari-mutuel handle and record attendance for its three-day Memorial Day weekend May 23-25.
As Monmouth Park prepares for its upcoming season, Dennis Drazin, who advises the track operators, said during May 5 luncheon the New Jersey facility is operating in the black.
The group that operates Monmouth Park has reached out to the owner of Atlantic City Race Course to discuss leasing or purchasing the facility in southern New Jersey.
Sports betting at Monmouth Park will have to await another day in court following a decision Nov. 21 by the United States District Court granting an injunction stopping the Oceanport racetrack from taking such wagers.
A temporary restraining order requested by professional sports leagues has put New Jersey's plans to allow sports betting on hold. The state had planned to begin taking wagers Oct. 26.
Monmouth Park is to begin offering and accepting wagers on sporting contests and athletic events Oct. 26 at the New Jersey racetrack.
While the issue of sports wagering in New Jersey is still tied up in court, Monmouth Park is staying ahead of the curve in case it is approved by forming a group to provide oversight.
Officials at Monmouth Park broke ground the morning of Oct. 8 on a new 7,500-seat amphitheater, set to debut in 2015.
Monmouth Park reported increases in on-track and export pari-mutuel handle, as well as attendance, for its 57-day meet that ended Sept. 28.
Despite a United States Supreme Court decision not to hear the state of New Jersey's appeal of a ban on sports betting, Monmouth Park officials said June 27 they intend to take bets on sports in September.
Popular gelding Ribo Bobo continued his remarkable rise from the claiming ranks May 10 in capturing the $79,000 Decathlon Stakes, Monmouth Park's opening-day feature, by a comfortable 1 1/2 lengths.
Monmouth Park will begin its 2014 meet May 10 with a new race and sports bar and additions to its picnic and paddock areas.
Though New Jersey Thoroughbred racing has a long way to go from a financial perspective, some racetrack operators and horsemen's representatives appear bullish on the future.
Monmouth Park concluded its 61-day racing season Oct. 6 with across-the-board gains in attendance, on-track wagering, and simulcast handle.
Racing at Monmouth Park returns May 11 in Oceanport, N.J., with a 12-race program attracting a total of 117 entries.
The sports betting company William Hill has teamed with Monmouth Park in a long-term agreement to become the Oceanport, N.J., racetrack's exclusive sports betting provider.
Monmouth Park registered gains in average daily attendance but declines in pari-mutuel handle for its 65-day meet, officials said Oct. 7, closing day of the meet.
Monmouth Park, expected to be under lease to the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, proposes to begin its live meet May 12 and offer 75 days of racing, 10 of them all-turf programs at Meadowlands.
Horsemen and state officials in New Jersey have reportedly reached agreement on dates and purses for the 2012 Monmouth Park meet, ending the question of whether the track would be open next year and under what circumstances.
Sunrise Smarty took all the heat up front and still had just enough to hang on for a half-length win in the $100,000 Fall Highweight Handicap (gr. III) on Thanksgiving at Aqueduct.
Despite political and financial uncertainty, New Jersey officials expect Monmouth Park to offer a similar schedule in 2011 and already are discussing ways to improve upon this year's Elite Summer Meet.
Northeast Regional Report: Dennis Drazin fights for horse racing in New Jersey. Read More
Dennis Drazin, a longtime Thoroughbred owner and breeder who has served as president of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, has been confirmed as a member of the New Jersey Racing Commission.
New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine signed an executive order March 5 creating a commission to study the state's horse racing industry and develop solutions for its long-term viability. The casino industry, which for years has subsidized horse racing in the state, will be involved in preparing the blueprint.
Jockeys who ride regularly in New Jersey could begin receiving an annual grant of $150,000 to help pay for health insurance if a deal is finalized during a December meeting between the New Jersey Racing Commission and the Jockeys' Guild.
Atlantic City Race Course, which opened April 23 for six days of all-turf racing, will not send out the simulcast signal of its live meet due to a disagreement with the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.
As Atlantic City Race Course prepares for a six-day all-turf meet, from April 23-25 and April 30-May 2, many observers believe it will be the last hurrah for the New Jersey track that opened in 1946.
A proposal to use 80 acres from the soon-to-be-shuttered Fort Monmouth property in Oceanport, N.J., for a training and winter stabling facility has been made by Dennis Drazin, president of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, to borough officials.
With more dates in 2008 and, at this point, no purse subsidy from the state, New Jersey racing is at the crossroads again.
Two weeks before the Breeders' Cup World Championships at Monmouth Park, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine said he would support financial assistance for the state's horse racing and breeding industries.
The New Jersey Racing Commission and New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association made official March 31 a legal settlement that allows the state racing industry to proceed with plans to host the 2007 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships at Monmouth Park.
Racing officials have expressed little hope a conflict between regulators and horsemen can be resolved in time to salvage the plan for Monmouth Park to become the first New Jersey racetrack to host a Breeders' Cup.

NEW YORK -- The former New York Knicks executive who is suing coach
Isiah Thomas for sexual harassment alleged in court papers that
Thomas urged the dance team choreographer to flirt with referees and guard Stephon
Marbury cursed at her, according to newspaper reports Saturday.
Anucha Browne Sanders, a former senior vice president of
marketing and business operations, filed documents to answer the
Knicks' attempt to have her lawsuit dismissed.
In the papers, which were unsealed Friday, Browne Sanders
alleges dance team choreographer Petra Pope told her Thomas encouraged Pope to
flirt with officials before a game against the Nets in 2004, the
Daily News reported.
"What she told me was that Isiah asked her to go into the
referees' locker room and make them happy," Browne Sanders
Sanders said Marbury directed an obscenity at her after she
complained about the player's cousin -- who was also employed by the
team -- had made graphic sexual comments to her staff.
Marbury, in a January deposition, acknowledged calling Browne
Sanders a derogatory name, according to the New York Post.
Sanders also claimed a member of her staff admitted to
consensual drunken sex with Marbury after a night at a
"gentlemen's club" and said "she did not believe she could say
no because of who Marbury is."
Sanders said her decision to inform officials about the
encounter led to her being fired, according to the New York Post.
Thomas and Madison Square Garden are listed as the defendants in
the lawsuit, which charges them with sex discrimination and
retaliation. Marbury is not a defendant in the lawsuit.
Browne Sanders filed the lawsuit last year, claiming she was
fired "for telling the truth" while going through internal
channels to stop the harassment. She has accused Thomas of telling
her he was "very attracted" to her and "in love" with her and
tried to kiss her.
The 44-year-old former Northwestern basketball star is seeking
reinstatement to her job and unspecified damages.
Madison Square Garden said she was fired because she "failed to
fulfill professional responsibilities." MSG said in a statement
Saturday that the lawsuit was "riddled with fabrications."
In seeking a dismissal of the lawsuit, Thomas said Browne
Sanders brought the action to harm him and secure a financial
payout from him and Madison Square Garden.

It's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Pierre Brondeau. Pierre?
Pierre Brondeau
Thank you, Brennan, and good morning, everyone. As you saw in our earnings release, our first quarter results provided a strong start to what we expect will be another record year for FMC.
Summarizing our first quarter 2011 performance. Sales of $795 million were 10% higher than last year's first quarter, excluding the prior year impacts of 2 businesses we exited last year. Adjusted earnings of $1.49 per diluted share also increased 10% versus the year ago quarter.
In Agricultural Products, sales of $344 million increased 13%, driven by broad based growth across North America, Latin America and Asia. Segment earnings of $100 million increased 8% versus the year ago quarter, driven by the sales gain, partially offset by higher spending on target growth initiatives.
In Specialty Chemicals, sales of $210 million were up 4%, despite capacity limitations in both businesses, as a result of higher volumes and selling prices for lithium specialty and food ingredients, partially offset by lower lithium primary volume. Segment earnings of $45 million increased 10% as higher sales and operating cost reductions in lithium were partially offset by higher spending on growth initiatives, in food ingredients and higher specialty wood pulp costs in BioPolymer.
In Industrial Chemicals, sales of $243 million were 3% lower as higher selling price across the segment and volume growth in peroxygens were more than offset by the absence of sales from the Phosphates business we exited at the end of last year. However, for a better representation of top line momentum in Industrial Chemicals, sales increased 11%, excluding the prior year impact of the Phosphates and Sulfur-derivatives businesses we exited last year.
Segment earnings of $40 million increased 17% as a result of sales gain in soda ash and peroxygen, as well as the continued variable mix shift towards specialties market in peroxygen, partially offset by startup cost related to a Granger soda ash facility.
On a regional basis, in the first quarter versus the prior quarter, excluding the 2 businesses we exited last year, sales in Asia continued to demonstrate the highest growth rates at 21%. Drivers of this growth were broad-based, with gains in ag products, export soda ash and food ingredients in BioPolymer.
Sales growth in North America was also strong at 17% owing to our strong performance in ag products. Sales in Latin America increased 14%, the result of a strong finish to the crop season in Brazil, especially in cotton and sugarcane.
And as expected, sales in EMEA declined down 12 -- down 14% due to the prior year impact of essentially selling an entire season of bifenthrin in the first quarter of last year.
Moving now to corporate items. Corporate expense was $16.8 million versus $12.1 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense net was $9.9 million as compared to $10 million in the year ago quarter. On March 31, 2011, gross consolidated debt was $663 million, and debt net of cash was $577 million.
For the quarter, depreciation and amortization was $30.4 million and capital expenditures were $30.4 million. On a GAAP basis, the company reported net income of $94 million or $1.03 per diluted share versus net income of $77 million or $1.06 per diluted share in last year's first quarter. Net income in the current quarter, included charges of $14 million after tax or $0.19 per diluted share versus charges of $23 million after tax or $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. With that reconciliation, our non-GAAP earnings were $1.49 per diluted share in the current quarter, up 10% versus $1.36 per diluted share in the last year's first quarter.
Let's now take a more detailed look at the performance of each of our operating segments in the quarter. Let me first start with Agricultural Products. First quarter sales of $344 million, increased 13%, driven primarily by broad-based volume growth across North America, Latin America and Asia, augmented by targeted price increases. The highest sales gain was achieved in North America, driven by strong early season demand from preemergent herbicide and higher sales in the soybean segment.
And so [ph] shift of sales from the second quarter due to favorable market conditions, crop prices, and channel optimism. In Latin America, which is mostly Brazil, the sales increase reflected growth in planted acres and the strong finish to the 2010, 2011 crop season, especially in sugarcane and cotton segments.
In Asia, sales gains were driven by strong herbicide demand and better weather conditions in Australia and continued strong demand in China and Indonesia.
As expected, sales in Europe declined as a result of ongoing re-registration process for bifenthrin, during which time, the product may not be sold. Last year's first quarter made for an especially tough year-on-year comparison. Recall that last year, we reported that in Europe, we essentially sold an entire season of bifenthrin in last year's first quarter. Segment earnings of $100 million increased 8% versus the year ago quarter driven by broad-based sales growth, partially offset by higher spending on targeted growth initiative as we continue to successfully execute a differentiated strategy, as well as the absence of bifenthrin sales in Europe.
Moving now to Specialty Chemicals. Revenue of $210 million was 4% higher than the prior year quarter despite capacity constraints in both lithium and BioPolymer during the quarter, driven by higher volume and selling prices for lithium specialties and food ingredients, particularly for MCC colloidal products serving dairy and beverage markets in Asia.
Lithium primaries volumes were lower than prior year, as we optimized mix by gradual [ph] conversion from industrial primaries application to downstream specialties, essentially, butyllithium. Lithium demand for energy storage and pharmaceutical application continues to be strong, especially in Asia.
Segment earnings of $45 million increased 10% as a result of the sales gain, favorable mix and operating cost reductions in lithium, partially offset by higher spending in focused growth initiatives in food ingredients and higher specialty wood pulp costs in BioPolymer.
Now looking at each business in more detail. In BioPolymer, sales increased as a result of volume growth and higher selling prices. Sales growth was especially strong in food ingredients, driven by significantly higher sales of microcrystalline cellulose, or MCC, to beverage and dairy customers in Asia, most notably in China.
As we anticipate ongoing growth for MCC on a global basis, specially in rapidly evolving economies, in March, we completed the expansion of our MCC plant in Cork, Ireland. The infrastructure and the flexibility of the core site made the expansion very cost efficient. We're now in full production and have increased our global capacity by 25% for food and pharmaceutical grade MCC.
BioPolymer earnings were essentially level to last year, as the strong commercial performance was offset by spending on growth initiatives in food ingredients, focused on innovation, and increasing our presence in rapidly developing economies, as well as higher specialty wood pulps and energy cost.
In lithium, though sales were essentially level to last year, earning growth was robust. We realized higher volume and selling price in lithium specialties, especially butyllithium, which is used as a reagent in pharmaceutical and chemical synergies. Butyllithium volume growth and price increases were achieved across Asia, North America and Europe.
The sales increase in lithium specialties was offset by the shift of some volumes to the second quarter and lower lithium primaries volume showing industrial applications. Supply remains tight in primaries, so we chose to optimize mix by increasing conversion towards specialty. Supply of primaries will increase in the second half of the year, benefiting from improved output and conversion. Pricing level of lithium primaries were equal to last year. Lithium earnings growth was robust in the quarter, driven by favorable mix and operating cost reductions.
Let's take a look now at Industrial Chemicals. In the first quarter, our Industrial Chemicals segment began to realize the benefit of the significant steps taken last year to realign and transform its business to deliver higher performance going forward. Higher performance in the form of less sensitivity to economic cycles, sustained higher margins, greater earning stability, stronger cash generation and superior return on asset. First quarter revenue of $243 million increased 11%, excluding the prior year impact of the exited phosphates and sulfur derivatives businesses, driven by higher selling price across the segment, particularly in soda ash and volume growth in peroxygens.
Segment earnings of $40 million increased 17% as a result of the sales gain and the continued favorable mix shift towards specialties market in peroxygen, partially offset by startup costs related to our Granger soda ash facility. Our Industrial Chemicals segment now has 3 realigned businesses: alkali chemicals or soda ash business, which represents about 70% of segment sales; global peroxygen, which is comprised of hydrogen peroxide and several specialty peroxygen product line, which represents approximately 25% of segment sales; and a small, focused silicates and zeolites businesses, which represent about 5% of segment sales.
Looking at the drivers of segment performance in the quarter. In soda ash, the year is shaping up as we expected. In the first quarter, sales and earnings growth benefited from higher selling price in 2011 contracts. Volume growth was capacity constrained in the quarter in advance of a Granger facility coming online. The Granger result is on schedule for a July startup, with plant production ramp-up to a rate of 500,000 tons to a year by the fourth quarter.
During the first quarter, our export organization, ANSAC, took advantage from Chinese exporter cost pressures and the addition to price export business above deliberate cash costs. These market conditions resulted when China imposed energy restriction in the fourth quarter of last year, which caused short-term supply shortages that allowed significant price hikes in country and for export. We do expect Chinese exporting to return to pricing strategies, driven more by oversupply condition in their countries. Chinese domestic prices are now moving downward toward cash cost, though at a slower rate than expected. Chinese export pricing continues to exceed their cash cost, but is decreasing since the fourth quarter spike.
In our outlook for the balance of the year, we are taking the conservative and prudent view that ANSAC export pricing will continue to decline for its fourth quarter fees [ph] as competition accelerates. Nonetheless, we are confident that the average export price for 2011 will be materially higher than the average in 2010. This higher export price, combined with higher domestic pricing and operating cost reduction, give rise to our outlook for significant profit growth from our soda ash business in 2011.
Moving to Global Peroxygen. In Global Peroxygen, we realized double-digit sales and earnings growth. The sales increase was driven by higher selling price across all product lines and volume increases in its 2 major products, hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate. Earnings benefited from the sales gain of continued favorable mix shift to our specialty and lower energy and other operating cost.
In hydrogen peroxide, unit growth in Europe was especially strong versus last year. We anticipate continued volume growth and the potential for price increases in the region across the balance of the year. In persulfates, one of the specialty products, volume growth in oil and gas and soil remediation applications drove sales and earnings higher. In peracetic acid and other specialty products, sales growth was robust, driven by its balanced portfolio of applications, serving poultry [ph], oil and gas, acetic packaging [ph] and wastewater treatment markets.
With that, I look forward to taking your questions during the Q&A period and would like to turn the call over to Kim Foster. Kim?
W. Foster
Thanks, Pierre, and good morning, everyone. Free cash flow for 2011 is reconfirmed at $300 million. As I mentioned on the fourth quarter call in February, this projection includes $40 million to $50 million in cash spending for restructuring of the phosphate businesses we exited at the end of last year.
Net debt at the end of the first quarter was $577 million compared to $476 million at the end of 2010. The increase is driven primarily by the normal seasonal working capital build in our Agricultural Products business.
Prior to each earnings call, we released an outlook statement on our website that summarizes our quarterly and annual guidance that we will discuss today. It also provides guidance for several cash flow and income statement items that can be used in your financial models.
I'd like to comment specifically on one of the corporate and other financial items section of our outlook statement, namely, Other Income and Expense. Our current guidance for this item is $25 million in expense for 2011. Approximately 75% of the 2011 total can be explained by 3 items: first, long-term incentives from managers in the operating segment; second, LIFO inventory expense; and lastly, capitalized interest related to capital projects that are not completed at the end of any quarter.
For segment reporting, we do not charge these items to the businesses. However, for GAAP income statement purposes, we account for the first item as an SG&A expense and the latter 2 items as components of cost of goods sold. As these items can vary yearly, we've elected to provide specific guidance on them in our outlook statement.
During Pierre's comments about the first quarter, he mentioned production capacity constraints in certain businesses. And as I mentioned in the last earnings call, we are projecting to spend approximately $60 million in capital on capacity expansion projects in 2011, primarily in BioPolymer, lithium, and soda ash, which should address our near-term supply requirements.
As we continually reassess the organic growth potential of our businesses, we see more near-term opportunity. As a result, we're considering accelerating certain capacity-expansion projects that were originally just outside the planning horizon of Vision 2015. We're currently reviewing plans to accelerate our lithium expansion, an expansion in our soda ash capacity, and several BioPolymer expansion projects. In total, this could increase capital spending within the Vision 2015 planning horizon by $200 million to $400 million. These expansions will add to the organic growth rate of our businesses later in the Vision 2015 planning horizon and will provide returns comfortably in excess of our return on invested capital goal of 15% for the company. We will be in a position to provide more specifics on these capital projections later in 2011.
As we mentioned at our December Investor Day in New York, we intend to complement our organic growth initiatives with a focus, disciplined approach to external growth, including company, product and technology acquisitions. We continue to target $800 million to $900 million in sales by 2015 from external growth, with margins after synergies that support our EBIT margin target of 20% for the company by 2015 and that maintain our return on invested capital above 15%.
I should reaffirm that our external growth strategy does not contemplate making large scale, complex or transformational acquisitions or adding another business platform to our portfolio. We believe that these external growth opportunities could consume capital of $1.5 billion to $2 billion through 2015.
Given the nature of external growth, it's difficult to forecast the timing of these investments. However, we are actively working on several targets at the current time. Our strategy of returning cash to shareholders has not changed. We will continue to balance our prudent financial policy with the competing demands of investments to support organic growth and capital requirements to support external investment opportunities. As we evaluated these factors in the first quarter, along with the seasonal working capital build to support our ag business, we decided not to buy back FMC stock in the quarter. However, we remain fully committed to the broad outline we discussed during the December Investor Day and expect to return significant cash to shareholders in the form of cash dividends and stock buyback.
With that, I will now turn the call back to you, Pierre.
Pierre Brondeau
Thank you, Kim. Regarding the outlook for the full year 2011, we have raised our outlook for adjusted earnings to $5.50 to $5.80 per diluted share, a 14% increase above our 2010 adjusted earnings of $4.95 per diluted share at the midpoint of the range.
Our Ag Products segment expects to achieve its eighth straight year for record earnings, at approximately 10% versus a year ago driven by expected strong market conditions and growth [ph] new and recently introduced products while increasing spending on growth initiatives and absorbing higher raw material cost.
In Specialty Chemicals, segment earnings are projected to also increase about 10%, reflecting higher sales and operating cost reductions across the segment, partially offset by higher raw material and energy cost.
In our Industrial Chemicals segment, we expect earnings to be up above 30%, driven by higher selling prices and volume growth across the segment, augmented by the benefit of cost reduction initiative.
Moving to our outlook for the second quarter of 2011, we expect adjusted earnings of $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share. Agricultural Products segment earnings are expected to be up 10%, driven by growth in North America, Europe and Asia, partially offset by higher spending on growth initiatives.
Specialty Chemicals segment earnings are expected to be up in the high-single digits, driven by higher volumes and selling prices in BioPolymer and lithium specialties, partially offset by higher spending on growth initiative in food ingredients in BioPolymer.
The Industrial Chemicals, we expect segment earnings to increase in the high teens, driven by higher selling prices across the segment, partially offset by Granger's startup cost.
With that, I thank you for your time and attention. I'll be happy to take your questions. Operator, please?
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Mike Harrison from First Analysis.
Michael Harrison - First Analysis
Question first for Michael, I was wondering if you could comment a little bit further on what's going on with the lithium primaries volumes? I used to think of your business mix in lithium as 50% primaries and roughly, 50% specialties. What did that mix look like in Q2 -- or Q1, I'm sorry?
D. Wilson
We intentionally shifted the mix a little bit more from the primaries to the specialties, basically because the capacity constraints that we have, we looked at the lower margin of primary products -- this would be outside the battery support area, and instead, used the lithium molecules that we had to make downstream products, products like butyllithium, which provided greater profitability. So not huge on an overall basis, but an intentional mix shift toward the specialties in the first quarter.
Michael Harrison - First Analysis
And would you expect that to shift back toward the 50/50 split as you bring that additional capacity on stream?
D. Wilson
Yes, I think we'll definitely see faster growth, if you think longer term in some of the primary [ph] products, like carbonate and hydroxide because those are really being driven by the battery applications of energy storage. So once we have additional capacity and we can fully serve that market, I would expect the mix shift back in that direction.
Michael Harrison - First Analysis
Right. And a couple of questions for Milton. In terms of the prebuying that you saw in the first quarter, can you give us any sense of what the magnitude of that was? And maybe a little bit more color on exactly what's driving that activity?
Milton Steele
Mike, we will not give you a number on what we think the prebuying was. It was robust. I think what is driving it though are 2 things: one, very good commodity prices; and two, if you go back to 2008, when we had that last commodity price spike, there was a shortage of products. So I'm pretty sure that distribution did not want to get caught short on the product, a shortage of products. So I think that, that's the main driver.
Pierre Brondeau
Let me add a little thing to what Milton said. We had a very robust first quarter, which would tend to have us believing that we do have shift from Q2 into Q1, specialty North America. By the same token, we are still contemplating a very strong second quarter. So it's sort of looking like a strong first half. It's quite difficult to understand what is the normal growth of the business versus what is the potential shift from one quarter to the other. So that's why it's hard for us to quantify. I think we believe it's the case, but overall, maybe most important, we're contemplating the strong first half.
Michael Harrison - First Analysis
And just in terms of the impact that you're seeing in the Ag business from some of the flooding that we've had in parts of the Midwest, as well as it seems like parts of North America are off to a later planting season than usual. What's your outlook given those issues?
Milton Steele
Mike, no question, and the planting is quite delayed. The real issue will be if it gets delayed beyond a certain date, then farmers would start to switch towards soybean instead of corn. And given our current portfolio, that's not a bad thing for us. So I guess my way of answering to this, yes there's a delay in planting, but either way, I think we'll be okay.
Your next question comes will come from the line of Frank Mitsch from BB&T Capital Markets.
Sabina Chatterjee - BB&T Capital Markets
Guys, it's Sabina in for Frank this morning. Just a quick question on the industrial segment. Looking at the high teens earnings guidance for Q2 actually suggests a sequential decline. So can you just remind us what the magnitude of startup cost could be for Granger? And how seasonality is likely to play out in this segment this year?
Pierre Brondeau
I think we've quantified the startup of Granger in the mid-single digit million dollars, that's about the number we are contemplating with most of it being incurred in the second quarter while we are ramping up the sales and decreasing the start-up spending of cost in the second half of the year.
Sabina Chatterjee - BB&T Capital Markets
Okay, and then just seasonality. Should we start to see a pickup in -- I thought sort of ash demand would pick up in Q2, Q3? So you're basically suggesting that Granger would offset the improvement in seasonality?
Pierre Brondeau
Yes, if you look at the targeted earnings, we do have for earnings growth, we do have for the full year for Industrial Chemicals of about 30%. You will see year-on-year increase, significant year-on-year increase in sales and earnings, but also sequential increase in the second half versus the first half of the year for Industrial overall.
Sabina Chatterjee - BB&T Capital Markets
Okay. And then on specialty, it looks like you took expectations across-the-board except for specialty earnings for the year. Can you just discuss some of the headwinds that you're seeing unfold there but maybe you hadn't factored in before? If it's higher raws or the tight lithium supply situation?
W. Foster
I think in terms of the earnings outlook for the year, the guidance is for earnings to be up, roughly 10% on a full year basis. On sales that are up, it's mid-single digits. Clearly, the headwinds are higher raw materials, particularly on the BioPolymer business for pulp that goes into the MCC business. However, we'll more than fully offset that with higher prices on that same business so -- we'll be offsetting that. Clearly, the capacity constraints that we have in both businesses, but particularly in the lithium business, are significant. And again, if you want to look at overall, this segment we're guiding mid-single digits revenue growth for the year, I would say without those capacity constraints, the segment growth would be 4 to 5 percentage points higher, so that gives you some idea of the significance there.
Pierre Brondeau
Sabina, I think it's -- I do not believe there is anything today, which is nothing we had seen. I mean, the raw material increase is a bit higher. And certainly, we're expecting that the organization is compensating with higher prices. We're a little bit tighter on lithium than we thought, but we knew it would be tight. I think maybe more of a big surprise, not a big surprise, but what is a good surprise is that we're experiencing very strong growth on our MCC product line, especially for dairy products in China. We knew it would be a growth platform for the food business for the next 4, 5 years, and it's really confirmed here. And that's where most of the capital investment increase for volume and sales increase will go.
Sabina Chatterjee - BB&T Capital Markets
All right. I guess, originally, the full year was looking to be up in the low teens, and now you're saying, up 10%. So that's my discrepancy, but we can discuss it offline.
And our next question will come from the line of John McNulty from Credit Suisse.
John McNulty - Crédit Suisse AG
Just a few questions, with both your lithium and soda ash expansions coming on later this year, and I guess either late or early next year on the lithium side, based on what you're seeing in terms of demand out there, can you walk us through how we should be thinking about pricing going out with these new capacity expansions coming on over the next few quarters?
Pierre Brondeau
Yes, we -- the capacity expansion for both businesses, lithium and soda ash, do not have today a direct impact on pricing. I think we are in the situation today, which the volumes we are bringing in will not materially change the supply-demand situation. I think in soda ash, our volume clearly will be absorbed and taken in our export market. What will be guiding pricing is much more linked to the price at which the Chinese will be willing to export their product to maintain or protect market share outside of China. That is what will guide the price much more than the additional capacity. Same in lithium, we're 100%. We're increasing our capacity by about 25%. It will not have an impact on the overall pricing, looking at the demand growth.
John McNulty - Crédit Suisse AG
Okay, great, thanks for the color. And then just in the Ag business down in Brazil, where you've seen -- we've seen this huge commodity prices. Now that we're toward the end of the season, do you have any color as to how your customers are thinking about expanding their overall platforms with regard to acreage? And how we should think about that and how that parlays into growth for you next year?
W. Foster
Yes, we think, John, that the commodity prices are going to hold. But there will be an increase in cotton, sugarcane and potentially, soybean and corn. So as these commodity prices hold, we're quite bullish about the increases in acreage and all the key crops.
And our next question will come from the line of Eugene Fedotoff from Longbow Insurance.
Eugene Fedotoff
Just a couple of questions. First, can you provide a little bit more color on raw material trends in biopolymers? If you're seeing any stabilization or if they continue to increase at the same rates?
D. Wilson
This is Michael Wilson. I think with regard to the pulp supply, I would say what we saw in the first quarter was very consistent with what we projected, maybe a bit higher. But we see it consistent throughout the 4 quarters of 2011. I think that -- we'll probably see some additional pressures as we move into 2012. But that's something that we're positioning the market for in terms of higher prices. On the seaweed side of BioPolymer, we've seen very stable raw material input cost.
Eugene Fedotoff
Okay, thanks. And the second question on soda ash volumes, both domestic and international, can you provide a little bit more color, particularly in the international markets where you see growth?
Mark Douglas
This is Mark. On the international markets for exports, we indicated last quarter that we'd see growth in the 3% to 5% range. Obviously, with our capacity constraint, we're maxing out, in terms of exports. But I would expect you to look at those sort of demand numbers overall. We have seen Chinese exports pick up from the first quarter from an average of about 1.6 million tons last year to about 1.8 million tons in the first quarter of this year. So obviously, demand in Asia and demand in Latin America is pretty robust at the moment.
Eugene Fedotoff
Any changes in demand domestically?
Mark Douglas
Sorry, say that again?
Eugene Fedotoff
Any changes in domestic demand?
Mark Douglas
Domestic demand, no. It's rolling along at about the 3% ranges, which is what we indicated. So no real change there for the rest of the year.
Our next question will come from the line of Andrew Dunn with KeyBanc Capital Markets.
Andrew Dunn - KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.
Just one last question on soda ash, if I may. So you kind of suggested that maybe there is a, I guess, 200,000-ton pickup in the Chinese export of soda ash. And I know they've been talking about kind of narrowing of this gap between the Chinese production cost and the domestic production cost. You're telling us that you're really confident you're going to be able to put all of the Granger's demand into the market. So as you're thinking about the timing of these cost gap narrowing, what kind of timeline do you have in mind? Is it pushed off way down into 2012? How we should we think about that going forward?
Mark Douglas
This is Mark. Andrew, you're talking about the gap between the domestic China prices, their export price?
Andrew Dunn - KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.
Mark Douglas
Well what we're seeing now is -- and we've talked about this, is the fact that the Chinese are exporting above their cash costs and have been since December. That number is declining. It was around about $30 a ton in December. It's round about $15 a ton at the end of Q1. As we've talked about a declining price, we have that trending down towards the end of this year in the fourth quarter to be equal to that cash cost. That's the type of trend line we see.
Andrew Dunn - KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.
Okay, great. And then just shifting gears to the Ag segment. It looked like margins were down a little bit on the year. I know you had some issue -- some, I guess, lower margins related to growth expenses. If we look at that going forward, is that going to be fairly stable, in terms of you pursuing further growth in that market throughout the rest of the year that might be, would be 100 basis points impact on the margins going forward? Or is that not a good way to think about it?
Pierre Brondeau
I believe it's a good way to think about it. You always have a mix, original mix, product mix. You also have spending on growth initiatives, but all in all, we will close the year for Ag at margins, which will be very much in line with the 2010 margins. So we're not expecting any shift of margin, up or down, within the overall segments when you remove all of the variation you can see across the year. So our objective, as we say, for the next 4 years are to maintain margin in the Ag business. And that's where we expect to be [indiscernible] our forecast for the year.
And your next question will come from the line of Peter Butler with Glenhill Investments.
Peter Butler - Glen Hill Investments
We've gone another quarter with FMC studying acquisitions. Meanwhile, asset values have risen and this obviously reduces the incentive to acquire assets. So I'm wondering if you guys are starting to consider an option B, either to pay up or to possibly just give up and return the cash to shareholders?
Pierre Brondeau
Peter, I think right now, I will have to say that our strategy to balance the cash we are generating between external growth or acquisitions, returning cash to shareholders and capital investments is at the same place as we were in December of 2010. If anything, I'm feeling even stronger because the business is doing very well. As you saw, we did better than the expectation in the quarter. The year looks strong. Cash generation is strong, so I do not have any concern around the type of commitment we made. And if you look at the merger and acquisition, I do believe today, and that's where we are prudent in commitment in terms of timing, I do believe today that the pipeline in terms of merger and acquisition is getting better. We are, of course, very careful. We will not do anything which would not be appropriate or not completely in line with our strategy. We will not do any transformational acquisition, but we do have some very interesting targets we are working with. And we do have a pipeline, which is getting better and better. So if anything, I'm more confident in our M&A strategy, but I will not prevent us to do the right capital investment for organic growth with high reason [ph] projects and return shareholder -- money to shareholder, as we said. The timing, what do we do more in Q2? More shareholder money return or more acquisition? I think we're going to have to decide, but if you look at the overall year, we're going to be exactly on the track as we discussed in December.
Peter Butler - Glen Hill Investments
Okay. Regarding returning cash to shareholders, I note that several years ago, Syngenta had a rather unique dividend policy? They raised the dividend in year 2, in line with the percentage earnings gain in year 1. This played out really well with investors and boosted the price range ratio because investors could count on the dividend increase. So the question to you, Pierre, is, do you have enough confidence in FMC's growth story to adopt a similar policy, a similar shareholder friendly dividend policy?
Pierre Brondeau
Peter, I think that if I would adopt that policy, you would not be very happy. You're one of the guy who told me, increasing the dividend by 20%, 20% of not much is not much. So I do believe that we would have to increase dividend maybe a bit faster than our earning growth. We had to look at where we should be from a dividend standpoint for a company with the kind of performance we have and how to balance returning shareholder between stock buyback and dividend. I really do not want to say that we're going to try a strategy, especially at our level of payment of dividend, which will be just aligning dividend payment to earning increased. I'm not even sure it would work for where we are. You can count on us to strongly return cash to shareholder, and it will be done in the form of dividend increase and stock buyback. We have not yet decided the exact pro rata of each of those. But we cannot define a rule as the one you are defining and I'm not sure it would be appropriate for us.
Your next question comes from the line of Kevin McCarthy with BofA Merrill Lynch.
Christopher Perrella
It's Chris Perrella filling in for Kevin. Question, could you break up the growth initiatives that you devoted capital to during the quarter and for the year?
W. Foster
This is Kim. I think what you're referring to is the $60 million in expansion capital that I mentioned in the call that we're going to spend in 2011. And that expansion capital is directed towards the Granger startup. We mentioned that, that capital would be mostly in the first half of the year, in fact, mostly in the second quarter. And as Pierre mentioned, that would be around mid-single digits in millions. Pierre also mentioned that we just closed or finished a MCC expansion, which should add both capacity, both to our pharmaceutical, as well as our food colloidal projects. We've mentioned in the past that, that capital is going to be around $25 million. And we're also finishing up the expansion on our lithium business, which should be done by the end of the year. And that expansion should also be on the order of magnitude of $20 to $25 million.
Christopher Perrella
And is the alternate expansion still on track for year end 2011?
W. Foster
The alternate expansion was something we finished up last year.
Christopher Perrella
Okay, all right. And how much of the $60 million has already been spent for those capital projects so far this year?
W. Foster
I'm sorry, I don't have that number off the top of my head, but given the timing of what I mentioned as far as the expansions go, I would say, it's probably 50%, somewhere around there, spent.
Pierre Brondeau
In capital, I mean generally speaking, think about a year like this year, it's always easier to think, in terms of the year rather than thinking in term of quarters because of plants, which are being built first. Think about half of the capital going in the year like this one, when we have expansion, half of the capital going to industrial, about 40% of the capital going to specialty and about 10% going to ag.
Christopher Perrella
Okay, very good. One more question on the ag. Have you seen pricing or have gotten pricing in ag this year? And how does that compare to what you've -- you're targeting?
Milton Steele
Chris, it's Milton here. Yes, we have had some price increases, and we're continuing to push for those across-the-board. We've had some increases in Latin America, small increases in North America and in Asia and in Europe, also small increases. It's in line with what we forecast. And we'll see what happens for the rest of the year. We continue to look for opportunities to put prices through, especially if we start to see significant cost increases.
W. Foster
Hey, Chris, this is Kim. I'd like to correct something I mentioned, that you asked about Alstate [ph], that will spill over into 2011.
Christopher Perrella
Okay, so you're still working on the capacity expansion this year?
W. Foster
[Operator Instructions] Okay, thank you. I will now turn the call back to Mr. Brondeau for closing remarks.
Pierre Brondeau
All right. Thank you very much for your time today. As you can see, we had a very strong first quarter, and we do have strong expectations for the second quarter and the rest of the year. I would say that the signals we do have today is that our Vision 2015 is intact. The cash deployment strategy remains. The M&A strategy remains. And maybe on the positive side, we are seeing maybe a stronger organic growth than what we were expecting, which of course, will have to be supported by a capital that overall impacts with a stronger organic growth for the future. So the quarter was good, the next quarter feels good. The year feels good. And I believe we're on the track to deliver what we are promising in our Vision 2015. Thank you very much for your call, and I'm sure we'll be talking soon. Goodbye.
Thank you. This concludes the FMC Corporation First Quarter 2011 Earnings Release Conference Call.

The Young Rascalsby The Young Rascals
View All Available Formats & Editions
The history of '60s rock is littered with stories of great rock classics -- the Savages' album, the Thirteenth Floor Elevators' first two albums, the first two Chocolate Watch Band albums -- that should have been better known than they were. The Young Rascals is that rare example of a genuinely great album that got heard and played, and sold and sold. Apart from the presence of a hit ("Good Lovin'") to drive sales, every kid (and his girlfriend) in any aspiring white rock band on the East Coast in 1966 seemingly owned a copy. And it's easy to see why -- the Rascals' debut couples a raw garage band sound with compelling white soul more successfully than just about any record since the Beatles' Please Please Me. The band had three powerful singers in Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati, and Gene Cornish, and an attack honed in hundreds of hours of playing dance clubs on Long Island and New York City. The result is a record without a weak moment or a false note anywhere in its 35 minutes: "Do You Feel It" shows them crossing swords stylistically with Smokey Robinson & the Miracles; "Just a Little" and "Like a Rolling Stone" show off their folk-rock chops; and "Slow Down," "Good Lovin'," "Mustang Sally," and "In the Midnight Hour" are all '60s rock & roll classics in these versions. "Like a Rolling Stone," in particular, now seems all the more compelling, pointing the way toward a future that included Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower." The CD reissue is one of Warner Special Products' better sounding releases, having been remastered by Rhino's Bill Inglot. The original album was on Atlantic, and was one of the label's best-sellers of the mid-'60s.

Dostoyevsky famously said all Russian literature emerged from under Gogol's "Overcoat." Most of Don DeLillo's fiction seems delivered from a dingy basement room rented by Dostoyevsky's Underground Man. In fact, DeLillo's Cosmopolis, now faithfully adapted to the screen by David Cronenberg, features two undergroundlings of the spirit. One of them is deceptively wealthy and smugly at ease, a seeming master of the universe: Eric Packer, a twenty-eight-year-old asset manager who, on an April day in 2000, decides to cross Manhattan in his stretch limousine to get a haircut in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of his youth. During this trek, which turns into a crawl because of a presidential visit to the city, the young billionaire keeps looking at a computer screen to check on the progress of his risky bet that the yuan will plunge in value. It doesn't.
The limo, an office/apartment on wheels, contains innumerable gadgets, a bar, and equipment for Eric's daily medical exam. Along the way he picks up his firm's head of technology, his wife of the last twenty-two days, his doctor, his chief of finance, his mistress (doubling as his art dealer), and his court philosopher, who expounds the metaphysics of global capitalism.
The limo floats through a Boschian cityscape. Anti–Wall Street protestors are rioting, flinging dead rats around in restaurants; death threats have been issued against...
