Privacy Policy
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED is responsible for personal information under its control. As part of this accountability, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED has designated an individual who is responsible for compliance with this policy and applicable legislation. Any inquiry related to our privacy practices should be directed to:
The Shaw Group Privacy Officer
200-90 Western Parkway
Bedford NS B4B 2J3
Telephone 902.445.2000
Fax 902.443.1611
Email: email@example.com
At the time that any personal information is collected, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will inform the individual concerned of the purposes for which the information is being collected. Individuals will be informed of the purposes in a manner that is clear, concise and comprehensible.
At any time when it is proposed to use any personal information for a purpose that was not originally identified, the new purpose shall be identified prior to use and the consent of the individual will be obtained, unless the law does not require such new consent.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will maintain a record of the uses to which particular personal information has been put and to whom it may have been disclosed.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will obtain the informed consent of an individual concerned for the collection, use, or disclosure of that individual's personal information, except as may be allowed by law. THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will try to obtain consent for all anticipated purposes at the time of the collection of the personal information. In some circumstances this may not be possible, so THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will obtain the informed consent of the individual before using the personal information. Also, if THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED proposes to use an individual's personal information for a purpose for which consent was not initially obtained.
For all purposes, consent means informed consent. At the time that consent is sought, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will make reasonable efforts to advise the individual of all the purposes for which the personal information is being sought. As required by the first paragraph under IDENTIFY PURPOSES, individuals will be informed of the purposes in a manner that is clear, concise and comprehensible.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall not, as a condition of the supply of a product, require an individual to consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of information beyond that required to fulfill the explicitly specified purposes. This means that where consent is being sought for information that is not essential to the provision of the service, the provision of that information will be voluntary. It is The Shaw Group's policy to obtain affirmative or "opt in" consent for any collateral use of personal information. If certain personal information is necessary for the provision of a service, this will be communicated to the individual along with information related to why the personal information is necessary in such circumstances.
There may be circumstances where the consent of an individual may be implied by the circumstances. In such cases, the purposes for the collection and use of personal information must be clearly apparent and THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED may only use the personal information for the obvious purpose. For example, if an individual asks to be sent a particular item, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will need the individual's name and address so that we can fulfill the request. In such a case, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED can assume that the individual's request for the item constitutes consent for specific purposes. In such a case, we will not use that information for any reason other than fulfilling the request.
Where practicable, consent for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information will be in writing. Whether consent in writing is required may vary with the circumstances, the sensitivity of the information in question and the proposed use of the information. The form of the consent sought by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED may vary, depending upon the circumstances and the type of information. As a general rule, if the information is "sensitive", written consent will be obtained. If THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED is seeking consent to acquire personal information from a third party (seeking a credit reference, for example), consent in writing will be required so that we can prove the consent of the individual when asked by the third-party information provider.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will not collect any personal information that is not reasonably necessary for the legitimate purposes identified and for which consent has been obtained. In addition, personal information shall be collected by fair and lawful means.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will only use, disclose or retain personal information for the legitimate purposes identified to the individual concerned and for which consent has been obtained. Personal information shall be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes, except where a longer retention period is required by law. Personal information that has been used to make a decision about an individual shall be retained long enough to allow the individual access to the information after the decision has been made. Some personal information may be retained incidentally as a result of routine computer backup operations. When this is the case, the personal information is not available for use by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED.
Personal information that is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes shall be destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.
Personal information collected, used and disclosed by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall be as accurate, complete, and up to date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. Information that will be used to make a decision about an individual should be as accurate as reasonably possible. If THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED does not have confidence in the accuracy of particular information, it shall not be used to make any decisions about the individual.
Nevertheless, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall not routinely update personal information, unless the information needs updating to fulfill the purposes for which it was initially collected. Updating or confirming the reliability of personal information shall be done by communicating with the individual concerned, unless it is inappropriate in the circumstances.
Personal information shall be protected by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. All personal information shall be maintained on a "need to know" basis. All information shall be secured by physical, technical and policy measures as is prudent given the sensitivity of the personal information concerned. Any information related to the health and finances of an individual shall be afforded a very high level of security, at least in accordance with industry standards.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall educate its employees about the importance of security in relation to personal information.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall also carefully scrutinize its waste stream to make sure that all media that contains personal information is appropriately disposed of in a manner that does not compromise the security of such personal information.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED's personal information handling policies made available shall include:
• The name, title and the address of the person who is accountable for THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED's policies and practices and to whom complaints or inquiries can be forwarded;
• The means of gaining access to personal information held by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED;
• A description of the type of personal information held by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED, including a general account of its use; and
• What personal information is made available to related organizations (e.g. subsidiaries).
Upon request, an individual shall be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information and shall be given access to that information. An individual shall be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate. If, in THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED's view, the information is accurate, the individual will be able to have the personal information annotated with his or her comments related to the alleged inaccuracy.
An individual requesting access to his or her personal 'information, or who is inquiring whether THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED holds any personal information related to him or her, shall be required to provide sufficient identifying information to allow THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED to search for his or her personal information. Such personal information provided to facilitate a search shall only be used for the purposes of a search and shall be destroyed as soon as practicable after conducting the search.
If possible and upon request, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED will inform an individual of the source of any personal information, the uses to which it has been put and to whom it may have been disclosed.
THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall respond to an individual's request within a reasonable time and at no cost. The requested information shall be provided or made available in a form that is generally understandable.
When an individual successfully demonstrates the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall amend the information as required. Depending upon the nature of the information challenged, amendment involves the correction, deletion, or addition of information. Where appropriate, the amended information shall be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question. When a challenge is not resolved to the satisfaction of the individual, the substance of the unresolved challenge shall be recorded by THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED. When appropriate, the existence of the unresolved challenge shall be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.
Any individual with concerns related to THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED's personal information handling practices or the manner in which his or her personal information has been collected, used or disclosed, shall be able to address those concerns to THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED's Privacy Officer. The privacy officer shall investigate the individual's concerns and shall attempt to resolve any complaint as expeditiously and as fairly as possible. If a complaint is found to be justified, THE SHAW GROUP LIMITED shall take appropriate measures, including, if necessary, amending its policies and practices. If a complaint is not found to be justified, the individual will be informed of this conclusion and of his or her right to seek redress with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
The complaint procedure shall be made known to any individual expressing concerns and shall be personally explained to the individual if circumstances warrant.

Continuing the process of moving stuff off the static site to this new blog format, this in an interview I did with About.com . The questions allowed me to say some perhaps slightly less-than-usual things. The original is here.
How soon should potential MBA students start preparing for the admissions process?
About 9 months to a year prior to submission deadline – giving time to research the process, research schools, line up recommenders, do the GMAT etc. Earlier start good, but it's not a simple case of the earlier the better…
the candidate needs to get immersed in the application process. Certainly s/he doesn't want to dilute the process over years and years. That's a recipe for a lukewarm application. Generally applicants should be wary of spending too much time on their application research and production – some do – at the risk of having their career stall and missing the key workplace award or promotion that would help them shine in front of Adcom.
Should prospective MBA students submit applications to several schools or are they better of concentrating their efforts on one or two favorites?
Both really. Favorites should be carefully targeted, no holds-barred. But the applicant should also be street-smart in recognizing that competition for top schools is intense, and any one favorite school acceptance may not emerge. In my experience the ideal number of applications is 4-5. Less means the randomness of random dings is not taken out the equation. More starts to dilute the energy of the applicant and recommender, and take too much time (ref answer above).
In your book, MBA Admissions Strategy, you mention that nearly everyone under 35 with respectable undergraduate transcripts and a good professional record has a realistic chance of getting into the finest business schools. Some prospective students don't share this optimistic view. I get a large number of emails from individuals who feel that poor GMAT scores or attendance at a less prestigious undergraduate school can hurt their chances during the admissions process. What advice can you offer these students?
In my experience a less prestigious U/G school is a very minor factor, and is entirely a non-factor if there is some concrete reason (normally funding) why the applicant went to "Buckwheat State" and not Harvard College. What counts more is how the applicant performed academically at whatever institution they were at. But even more than that, business schools heavily weigh what a candidate has done between college graduation and MBA application. A good professional record trumps college level branding. (This is different to Grad & Law & Med schools, where applicants apply younger and with less or zero work experience, so college brand is all adcoms have to go on.)
As to GMAT, yes, it is true a minimum threshold GMAT is necessary. If one is not in the high 600s, an application to a top-10 school will stall. But the GMAT works on a threshold principle – the applicant needs a high enough score to relax Adcom about his or her academic ability. After that they start asking other questions – about leadership, team skills, career arc, etc.
Footnote to this is that, believe it or not, a GMAT score can be "too good" – anything above about 760 is problematic. This is because the applicant starts to look like a genius and questions will be asked about whether that person will make a good manager and leader. B-school is a professional place with the aim of turning out people who will survive and thrive in the cut & thrust of real world business. That's what recruiters want. So Adcom looks carefully at apparent geniuses and dings them if it appears they may be better suited to PhD program and research career.
What are four attributes every admissions committee wants to see in an MBA student?
See my book, chapter 2 "Attributes that Count" for a list of 22 such attributes. It's hard to say which 4 count the most. I think a clear success record is definitely up there; along with personal integrity; being a team player that mixes well; and leadership experience and potential. But there's no privileged four. I strongly believe in all 22.
How important is it for applicants to show that they possess these attributes?
The key here is "show". So many applicants claim they possess attributes. That's worth nothing. The attributes have to be shown by telling proof stories – that is, anecdotes of the candidate in action, acquiring or living the attribute.
What are the three most common mistakes that an MBA applicant can make, and how can these mistakes be avoided?
1. Trying to be a typical MBA applicant – leading to a generic and therefore low-value application.
2. Inability to see what is precious and valuable in their past activities, from Adcom's point of view.
3. Wasting precious essay space with sentences and paragraphs that do not deliver or prove profile value.
Is there any additional advice that you can offer students who are trying to develop an MBA admissions strategy?
Candidates should balance their energy between the major blocks of an application, which are: (a)GMAT (b)File essay questions & long essays (c) Recommendations (d) Interview. (I assume their college record is set). In having helped hundreds of applicants get into top schools, the application strategy weakness I see most is candidates who are willing to spend an unbelievable amount of time and energy, not to mention money, trying to get their GMAT score up one notch, while neglecting the rest.
As mentioned, the GMAT operates on a threshold principle – more is better up to a certain point – then more is irrelevant. And the balanced good application beats the unbalanced excellent/patchy application (and remember, they don't want brainiacs). They are looking for people who appear good on all fronts. Someone who looks like they will continue to be good on all fronts. This is what I call the "CEO-in-Waiting" image.

Sometimes, not all our builds work out the way we hoped. That's what happened to [Rob] and his attempt at a Delta robot that does stereo lithography. A Delta robot is capable of very fast and precise movements, so [Rob] slapped a laser module on the end of the arms. After putting some UV curing resin in front of the laser, he was left with a blob of goo and we're trying to figure out why.
[Rob] thinks the admittedly terrible print quality was due to diffraction and the reflective build plate. If this were the case, we'd agree with the assessment that adding some dye to the resin would help. Some commentors on [Rob]'s blog have suggested that he's running the laser too slowly. It's a shame [Rob] scrapped his build and turned it into a plain-jane X & Y axis build. Delta robots can be really damn fast, and adding a printer to one might mean prints that take minutes instead of hours. There are a few people working to get a Delta RepRap off the ground, but this project still has another prototype or two before that happens. Check out [Rob]'s attempt at Delta robot stereolithography after the break.
Thanks to [techartisan] for sending this one in.

We've been producing end-of session reports on the behaviour of government MPs at Westminster for almost a decade. Last year's was a record-breaker: Coalition MPs rebelling more often than MPs in any other session since 1945. This morning we've launched the report on the 2012-13 session. It tells a more nuanced story, but with plenty to concern the party whips:
- There were rebellions by Coalition MPs in 61 divisions in the last session of the Parliament, covering a wide range of issues and bills, from Europe (on more than one occasion…) to House of Lords reform, from child benefit to housing benefit, and from the succession to the Crown to planning regulation.
- As a percentage of divisions, that's a rebellion in 27% of divisions, down from the 44% in the last session. But it's still relatively high for the post-war period. It tops the comparable figure for all but nine post-war sessions. Most of these nine are from periods of Labour government (two under Callaghan, five under Blair and Brown); the preceding session of 2010-12 aside, only one Conservative Prime Minister has experienced a session with a higher level of dissent (that is, Edward Heath), and he only experienced it for one session (between 1971-72).
- If we break down the overall figure of 27% into its two component parts, Conservative MPs have broken ranks in 19% of divisions (down from 28% in the 2010-12 session), Lib Dem MPs have done so in 15% (down from 24% in the 2010-12 session). (These two figures sum to more than 27%, because of some votes in which both parties have seen dissent). So the decline in rebelliousness has been equal (down nine points for the Conservatives and nine for the Lib Dems) for both parts of the Coalition.
- The figure of 19% for the Conservatives alone is still higher than for all but seven sessions of Conservative government during the post-war era. It is, for example, higher than John Major faced for all but the 1992-93 session; higher than Margaret Thatcher faced during her premiership save for the 1981-2 and 1984-5 sessions; and it is higher than the levels of rebellion faced at any point by Churchill, Eden, Macmillan or Home (save for the 1962-3 session, when it also ran at 19%). Edward Heath faced a higher rate of rebellion in three of his four sessions in government, but overall the rate for the 1970 Parliament was 19%. In other words, even the figure for the Conservatives alone is relatively high compared to most periods of previous Conservative government.
- And despite the reduction in the rate of rebellion from the preceding session, the Parliament still remains on course to be the most rebellious since 1945. The rate for the Parliament as a whole (that is, 2010-13) now stands at a rebellion in 39% of divisions, easily topping the 28% seen in the 2005 Parliament. Even if the rate of rebellion drops again by half – down to a rate of around 13% - in the remaining two sessions, we would expect the overall total for the Parliament to be 29%, still (just) enough to make it the most rebellious in the post-war era. The good news for the whips, therefore (and right now they probably need some), is that we can report a gradual reduction in the level of backbench dissent on the Coalition side. But the rate of rebellion in this session only appears low when compared to the unprecedentedly high levels seen in the preceding session.
- Why's it down? Several reasons, but a key one was the withdrawal – under fire – of House of Lords reform. This had the effect of removing considerable combustible material from the Government's legislative programme. Had (somehow) that Bill gone ahead, past Second Reading, we would be reporting a considerably higher number of rebellions.
- A total of 185 Coalition MPs have voted against their whip so far during the Parliament. Most (148) of these are Conservatives, but this is not surprising, given that there have been more Conservative rebellions and there are anyway more Conservative MPs. The most rebellious nine Coalition rebels are Conservatives, headed by Philip Hollobone, who was also the most rebellious in the last session. He has now voted against his whip 129 times since the election in 2010.
- Of these 185 MPs, 144 rebelled during the 2012-13 session, and there was a very strong relationship between behaviour in the two sessions of the Parliament. The correlation between the number of rebellions in the 2010-12 and 2012-13 sessions was 0.79.
- Of the 148 Conservative rebels, 90 (or six in ten) are from the 2010 intake. Of those members of the 2010 intake who have been on the backbenches throughout the Parliament some 85% have now rebelled. New MPs are normally relatively pliant in their early years in the Commons. Not this lot. And on the Lib Dem side of the Coalition once you exclude those Lib Dem MPs who are or were at some point members of the payroll vote, either as ministers or parliamentary private secretaries, and thus expected to remain loyal to the government, and there is now not a single Lib Dem MP who has been on the backbenches throughout the Parliament and who has remained loyal to the party whip.
- The government still win most votes easily – the median majority in whipped votes this sesson was 71. But close run things are becoming slightly more common (in its first 24 months in power the government's majority only fell below 50 on 22 occasions; in the last twelve months it has fallen below 50 on 17 occasions). And, crucially, David Cameron has now joined the list of Prime Ministers defeated in the House of Commons as a result of their own MPs rebelling, a line which dates back unbroken to Edward Heath.
A final fact: David Cameron has had three government Chief Whips in the Common. Two – Patrick McLoughlin and Sir George Young – have been defeated. Andrew Mitchell is his only undefeated Chief Whip. We doubt that makes Mr Mitchell feel much better.

It is my pleasure to donate to a cause that John Titus is a part of. I was his School Resource Officer for 6 years and never worked with anyone that was very professional and caring! I was made to feel part of a team that I believe was very successful!
Mark Seymour
Giving back to the man who has given so much!
Joyce Kennedy
Mr. Titus (I still can't call you by your first name), I'm not sure any words I post here will adequately convey my appreciation for all you've done for me. It wasn't fair to my other bosses that you were the first impression of what a leader could and should be. During my student teaching at Monacan, I'll never forget seeing you in your full suit on the ground trying to fix the juke box. I said, "Isn't there someone else to do that?" And you said, "They are busy, and I know the seniors will want to listen to music at lunch." That, for me, captures how you are a true servant leader; you do what it is you would ask of overs. I couldn't have picked a better person to be around when I had not 1, not 2, but 3 children. (Yes, I'm still holding at 3!!!) Each time I received an article from you about Michelle Duggar having another child, I smiled. Thank you for inspiring all of us with your wit, candor, and especially your humility. Best always, Sarah Mansfield

John Titus is a professional in every sense of the word and is unquestionably one of the best school administrators in the field of education. In addition to his professionalism and tremendous leadership skills, he is kind, caring, and compassionate as well. He commanded respect from the entire school community. He made decisions carefully and always put the best interest of students first. I learned a great deal about being a successful school administrator working with John Titus. He had a way of making those with whom he worked want to perform at their highest level and he was quick to acknowledge the hard work, positive contributions, and successes of all those individuals. I think everyone benefitted, at one time or another, from one or more of his wonderful handwritten notes. I have vivid memories of excited students showing me the note they received from Mr. Titus-and occasionally asking me to decipher it for them as his handwriting, while always recognizable, could be a little…… Read more
Mary Robinson
difficult to decipher! Those notes made everyone feel special. John also has a wonderful sense of humor. I can remember a number of conversations during which we reflected on a particularly challenging situation, day or week that would end in laughter as John somehow managed to find the humor in the challenge. John had very high standards for himself and for others, and provided an tremendous role model for students and staff. He is an amazing leader and a wonderful man who is truly deserving of acknowledgement and appreciation for all that he has accomplished over his years in education. I will always be grateful for having had the good fortune to work with and learn from John Titus for so many years. He's definitely "the best"!
Continued from Mary Robinson
Hi John, It appears that you are once again doing good deeds under the shadow of The Clarke Kent(Superman) persona! It is no surprise to me that you would be the force behind the creation of a "first class" baseball facility. I would expect nothing less. While so many of your fans remember your leadership at James River, I want to take this opportunity to share some John Titus moments that some may not know about. I will never forget the the kind handwritten note that you sent to me in Hampton, welcoming me to Chesterfield as the new superintendent. I will forever remember you for your thoughtfulness and the obligatory "purple and green" m&ms! However, I believe my fondest memory of you is seeing you impersonating Michael Jackson at a Senior Class event. A member of your staff sent me the CD……..(continued)
Billy K. Cannaday, Jr., Ed.D.
continued…. The word on the street was that Mr. T performed a "cool" moonwalk. What made this event so memorable, was the backstory that lead to that performance. Some months earlier the Senior class had acted poorly at a school event with parents and others in attendance. As a result of this uncharacteristic behavior, you suspended Senior Class activities for the spring. Members of the senior class were disappointed, but also very remorseful. When asked by some the seniors if they could have a talent show, you not only said yes, but you also agreed to their request that you dress up as MJ-silver gloves, jacket with glitter, moon walking shoes and classic white socks. Wow! Seeing you on the CD reminded me that you truly are a "student advocate" in every way. Thanks, John, for all that you do to inspire a giving spirit! From a Hokie/Hoo to another Hoo….I am so VERY PROUD of you!

Study: Brands and retailers have most followed pages on social media
New York -- Brands and retailers have the most followed or "Liked" pages on social media, according to WSL/Strategic Retail. Nearly two-thirds (61%) of users who "Fan" social media pages, are choosing to follow brands and retailers -- beating out celebrities and TV shows which are followed by just over half of users.
The finding was unveiled as part of the company's Buzz to Buy 3.0 trend report, its third annual survey measuring how the power of Social Media and online information are impacting buying decisions.
"The new shopping mantra is 'information is power,'" said Candace Corlett, President of WSL/Strategic Retail. "People are leveraging the abundance of technology to learn everything they want to know about products anywhere they want – be it a quick price comparison on their iPad while at the mall or in-store, or visiting Pinterest for decorating tips. The art and science of digital marketing has become essential for engaging consumers and targeting the right message to the right shopper at the right time."
Additional findings of the report include:
- Not so social. While the amount of time Americans spend online continues to increase (up three hours per week over 2011), social media usage has declined for the first time – down 10% in 2012 versus the previous year. Generation X, boomers and seniors are leading the change while usage by Millennials remains consistent.
- Watch Millennials to see the future of shopping. Millennials showed the highest increase of time spent online – a full 25 hours per week (up five hours per week over 2011). In addition to relying heavily on their Social Networks for information about products they want to buy (40%), they are also the leaders in utilizing mobile phones to help them shop (63%) – resulting in a 15-point margin over Gen X shoppers.
- Shopping gets mobile. With the rise of portable devices, shoppers are using their smartphones (42%) and tablets/e-readers (16%) to access product information and engage their friends in buying decisions while shopping in-store. In fact, mobile phones and tablets each accounted for 10% of online purchases made in the past three months. Shopping apps further increase mobile shopping activity, now ranking No. 4 among the most downloaded apps (following games, social media and music).

Triangle: The Fire that Changed America
by David Von Drehle
Format: Paperback
On March 25, 1911, as workers were getting ready to leave for the day, a fire broke out in the Triangle shirtwaist factory in New York's Greenwich Village. Within minutes it spread to consume the building's upper three stories. Firemen who arrived at the scene were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders simply weren't tall enough. People on the street watched in horror as desperate workers jumped to their deaths. The final toll was 146 people – 123 of them women. It was the worst workplace disaster in New York City History.
David Von Drehle orchestrates these events into a drama rich in suspense and filled with memorable characters: the tight-fisted "shirtwaist kings" Max Blanck and Isaac Harris; Charles F. Murphy, the shrewd kingmaker of Tammany Hall; blue-blooded activists like Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan; and reformers Frances Perkins and Al Smith. Most powerfully, he puts a human face on the men and women who died on March25. Triangle is an immensely moving account of the hardships of New York City life in the early part of the twentieth century, and how this event transformed politics and gave rise to urban liberalism.
"An enthralling chronicle of (the Triangle) disaster, which left its own profound mark on the city and taught lessons that we are badly in need of remembering."

Debugging with Symbols
This article provides a high level overview of how to best use symbols in your debugging process. It explains how to use the Microsoft symbol server, and also how to set up and use your own private symbol server. These best practices can help increase your effectiveness and ability to debug issues, even in cases where all the symbols and executable files that are related to a problem are not located on your computer.

A number of different types of symbols are available for debugging. They include CodeView symbols, COFF, DBG, SYM, PDB, and even export symbols that are generated from a binary files export table. This white paper discusses only VS.NET and the PDB format symbols, because they are the most recent, preferred format. They are generated by default for projects that are compiled by using Visual Studio.
Generating PDB files for release executables does not affect any optimizations, or significantly alter the size of the generated files. Typically, the only difference is the path, and the file name of the PDB file is embedded in the executable. For this reason, you should always produce PDB files, even if you don't want to ship them with the executable.
PDB files are generated if a project is built by using the /Zi or /ZI (Produce PDB Information) compiler switch, together with the /DEBUG (Generate Debug Info) linker switch. The compiler-generated PDB files are combined and written into a single PDB file that is placed in the same directory as the executable.
By default, PDB files contain the following information:
- Public symbols (typically all functions, static and global variables)
- A list of object files that are responsible for sections of code in the executable
- Frame pointer optimization information (FPO)
- Name and type information for local variables and data structures
- Source file and line number information
If you are concerned about people using the PDB file information to help them reverse engineer your executable, you can also generate stripped PDB files, by using the /PDBSTRIPPED:filename linker option. If you have existing PDB files that you would like to strip private information from, you can use a tool called pdbcopy, which is part of the debugging tools for Windows.
By default, stripped PDB files contain the following information:
- Public symbols (typically only non-static functions and global variables)
- A list of object files that are responsible for sections of code in the executable
- Frame pointer optimization information (FPO)
This is the minimum information that is required to allow reliable debugging. Minimum information also makes it difficult to obtain any additional information about your original source code. Because both a stripped PDB file and a regular PDB file are generated, you can provide the stripped version to users who may need limited debugging abilities, but keep the full PDBs confidential. Note that /PDBSTRIPPED generates a second, smaller PDB file, so make sure that you use the correct PDB file when you generate builds to distribute broadly. For a typical project, a regular PDB may be a few megabytes in size, but a stripped version of the PDB may be only a few hundred kilobytes.
Using Symbols for Debugging
When you are debugging an application that has crashed, the debugger attempts to show you the functions on the stack that led up to the crash. Without a PDB file, the debugger cannot resolve the function names, their parameters, or any local variables that are stored on the stack. If you debug 32-bit executables, there are situations where you cannot even get reliable stack traces without symbols. Sometimes it's possible to look at the raw values on the stack, and work out which values might be return addresses, but these can be easily confused with function references or data.
If functions on the current stack were compiled by using the Omit Frame Pointers (/Oy) optimization, and if symbols are not present, the debugger cannot reliably determine which function called the current function. This is because without the Frame Pointer Optimization (FPO) information that PDBs contain, the debugger cannot rely on the frame pointer register (EBP) to point at the saved previous frame pointer and at the return address of the parent function. Instead, it guesses. Sometimes it gets it right. However, it often gets it wrong, which can be misleading. If you see a warning about missing symbols, or no symbols loaded, as in the following example, do not trust the stack from that point down.
SWPerfTest.exe!TextFunction(... ...) Line 59 C++
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for d3dx9d.dll]
SWPerfTest.exe!main(int argc=, const char * * argv=) Line 328 + 0x12 bytes C++
SWPerfTest.exe!__mainCRTStartup() Line 716 + 0x17 bytes C
kernel32.dll!@BaseThreadInitThunk@12() + 0x12 bytes
ntdll.dll!__RtlUserThreadStart@8() + 0x27 bytes
In many cases, it's possible to continue debugging without symbols, because the problem is in a location that has accurate symbols, and you don't need to look at functions further down the call stack. Even if a library that is in your call stack doesn't have PDBs available, as long as they were compiled with frame pointers, the debugger should be able to guess correctly at the parent functions. Starting with Windows XP Service Pack 2, all Windows DLL and executable files are compiled with FPO disabled, because it makes debugging more accurate. Disabling FPO also allows sampling profilers to walk the stack during run-time, with minimal performance impact. On versions of Windows before Windows XP SP2, all operating system binaries require matching symbol files that contain FPO information, to allow accurate debugging and profiling.
If you debug 64-bit native executables, you do not need symbol files to produce valid stack traces, because x64 operating systems and compilers are designed not to require them. However, you still need symbol files to retrieve the function names, call parameters and local variables.
However, some cases are particularly difficult to debug without symbols. For example, if you debug a program for which you built a PDB file, and if you crash in a callback from a function in a DLL that you don't have symbols for, you will not be able to see which function caused the callback, because you will not be able to decode the stack. This frequently happens in third-party libraries, if PDBs are not provided, or in old operating system components, if PDBs are not available. Callbacks often happen during message passing, enumeration, memory allocation, or exception handling. Debugging these functions without an accurate stack can be frustrating.
To reliably debug mini-dumps that are generated on a different computer, or that crashed in code that you do not own, it's important to be able to access all the symbols and binaries for the executables that are referenced in the mini-dump. If the symbols and binaries are available from a symbol server, they are automatically obtained by the debugger. For more information on mini-dumps, see the Crash Dump Analysis white paper.
Getting the Symbols You Need
Visual Studio and other Microsoft debuggers, such as WinDbg, are typically set up to just work if you are building an application and debugging it on your own computer. If you need to give your executable to someone else, if you have multiple versions of a DLL or an .exe file on your computer, or if you want to accurately debug an application that uses Windows or other libraries, such as DirectX, you need to understand how debuggers find and load symbols. The debugger uses either the symbol search path that is specified by the user—which is found in Options\Debugging\Symbols in Visual Studio—or the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable. Typically, the debugger searches for matching PDBs in the following locations:
The location that is specified inside the DLL or the executable file.
If you have built a DLL or an executable file on your computer, by default the linker places the full path and file name of the associated PDB file inside the DLL or the executable file. When you debug, the debugger first checks to see if the symbol file exists in the location that is specified inside the DLL or the executable file. This is helpful, because you always have symbols available for code that you have compiled on your computer.
PDBs that may be present in the same folder as the DLL or executable file.
Any local symbol cache folders.
Any local network file share symbol servers.
Any Internet symbol servers, such as the Microsoft symbol server.
To make sure that you have all the PDBs that you need for accurate debugging, install the debugging tools for Windows. The 32 and 64 bit versions can be found at Debugging Tools for Windows.
A useful tool that is installed with this package is symchk.exe. It can help to identify missing or incorrect symbols. This tool has a large number of potential command line options. Here are two of the more useful and commonly used ones.
Check if a given DLL or .exe file and PDB in the same folder match
"c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\symchk" testing.dll /s .
SYMCHK: FAILED files = 0
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 1
The /s . option tells symchk to look for symbols only in the current folder, and not to look in any symbol servers.
Check if all the DLLs and executable files in a set of folders have matching PDBs
"c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\symchk" *.* /r
The /r option sets symchk to recursively traverse through folders, to check that all the executable files have matching PDBs. Without the /s option, symchk uses the current _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to search for symbols on any private or local server, or on the Microsoft symbol servers. The symchk tool searches only for symbols for executable files (.exe, .dll, and similar). You cannot use wild cards search for symbols for non-executable files.
How symchk Works
When the linker generates .dll, executable, and PDB files, it stores identical GUIDs in each file. The GUID is used by tools to determine if a given PDB file matches a DLL or an executable file. If you alter a DLL or an executable file—by using a resource editor or copy protection encoding, or by altering its version information—the GUID is updated and the debugger cannot load the PDB file. For this reason, it's very important to avoid manipulating the DLL or executable file after it is created by the linker.
You can also use the DUMPBIN utility that comes with VS.NET to show the symbol paths that are searched, and to see if symbol files are found that match a given DLL or executable file. For example:
DUMPBIN /PDBPATH:VERBOSE filename.exe
Symbol Servers
A symbol server is a repository for multiple versions of executable and symbol files. It contains either the symbol files themselves, or pointers to the associated symbol files. Debuggers understand how to use symbol servers, and can use them to search for missing or unknown symbols.
DLL and executable files are also available from the Microsoft symbol server. This makes it possible to debug crashes and examine code for operating system files that may not exist on your machine. If a debugger encounters an executable file or a DLL that does not exist on the system that you are using for debugging, it automatically requests both the symbols and a copy of the binary file from the Microsoft symbol servers. This is helpful if you are debugging a component that has many versions—for example, msvcrt.dll—and you need to examine the code for a version that does not exist on your computer. This also helps debug mini-dumps that are generated on an operating system that is different from the system that you are using for debugging.
Microsoft publishes all the PDB files for all operating systems and other redistributed components, such as the DirectX SDK, on its externally accessible symbol server. This makes it easy to debug an application that uses these DLL or executable files. You can use the Microsoft symbol server to resolve symbols, together with any local symbols for components that were built on your computer.
You can set up your computer to use the Microsoft symbol server, which gives you access to all Microsoft symbol files. You can also set up a private symbol server for your company, team or network, which can be used to store multiple older versions of a project you are working on, or to provide a local cache for the symbols that you use from the Microsoft symbol server.
To use a symbol server, specify the search path in an environment variable that is called _NT_SYMBOL_PATH. Debuggers and modern tools, such as WinDbg, NTSD or Visual Studio, automatically use this path to search for symbols.
When a debugger searches for symbols, it first searches locally. Then it looks on symbol servers. When it finds a matching symbol, it transfers the symbol file to your local cache. The symbols for a typical DLL or executable file range from 1 to 100 MB in size. Therefore, if you are debugging a process that includes many DLLs, it can take some time to resolve all the symbols and transfer them to a local cache.
Using the Microsoft Symbol Server
The Microsoft symbol server allows you to obtain all the latest symbols, including symbols for patched or updated files. The Microsoft symbol server is available at https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols.
You can access the symbol server in one of the following ways:
Enter the server address directly. In Visual Studio, from the Tools menu, choose Options, then choose Debugging, and then choose Symbols.
Use the environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH. We recommend this method.
This is used by all debugging tools. It is also used by Visual Studio, and is read and decoded when Visual Studio opens. Therefore, if you change it, you need to restart Visual Studio.
This environment variable allows you to specify multiple symbol servers—for example, an internal private symbol server. It also allows you to specify a local cache directory to store PDBs for all symbols that you look up from symbol servers, both internally and over the Internet.
The syntax for the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH variable is:
srv*[local cache]*[private symbol server]*https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
Replace [local cache] with the name of a directory on your computer where you want to store a cache of any symbols used—for example, %SYSTEMROOT%\Symbols, or c:\symbols.
The [private symbol server] is optional. It can point to a symbol server that is located on your network, or it can point to a symbol server that is shared by your team, product group, or company.
To use only the Microsoft symbol server together with a local cache of symbols, to speed up access over the Internet, use the following setting for _NT_SYMBOL_PATH:
You can find other options for the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH in the help file that is installed with the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows package.
Executables without symbols can increase the time it takes to launch a debugger if you use a symbol server. This is because the debugger queries the symbol server each time it tries to load the executable. For this reason, it is best to always request symbols for all components.
It may not be possible to request symbols for every component—for example, video drivers may have DLLs in your process space, and the required PDB files are available on the Microsoft symbol server. In this case, there is a small delay when you start a debugging session.
To avoid even this small delay, you can run the debugger once, to cache all the symbols locally from the Microsoft symbol server. Then, modify your _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to remove the Microsoft symbol server. Unless the executable files change, checks for executable files that do not have symbols will not require a query over the Internet, because you have local cached copies of all the symbols that you need from the Microsoft symbol server.
Getting Symbols Manually
If you have set up your debugger correctly, it automatically loads any symbols that it requires from your local cache or from a symbol server. If you would like to get the symbols for just a single executable, or for a folder of executables, you can use symchk. For example, if you want to download the symbols for the d3dx9_30.dll file in the Windows System folder into the current directory, you can use the following command:
"c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\symchk" c:\Windows\System32\d3dx9_30.dll /oc \.
The symchk tool has many other uses. For details, see symchk /?, or look in the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows documentation.
Setting Up a Symbol Server
Setting up a symbol server is very simple. It is useful for the following reasons:
- To save bandwidth, or to speed up symbol resolution for your company, team or product. An internal symbol server on a local file share on your network caches any references to external symbol servers, such as the Microsoft symbol server. A local or internal symbol server can be accessed quickly by many people at the same time. Therefore, it saves bandwidth and the latency that duplicate symbol requests can create.
- To store symbols for old builds, versions or external releases of your application. By storing the symbols for these builds on a symbol server that you can easily access, you can debug crashes and problems in these builds on any computer that has a debugger and a connection to the local symbol server. This is particularly useful if you debug mini-dumps that are generated by executables that you did not build yourself—that is, builds that were generated by another programmer or by a build machine. If the symbols for these builds are stored on your symbol server, you will have reliable and accurate debugging.
- To keep symbols up to date. When components are updated, such as OS components that are modified by Windows Update or by the DirectX SDK, you can still debug by using all the latest symbols.
Setting up a symbol server on your own local network is as simple as creating a file share on a server and giving users full permissions to access the share, to create files and folders. This share should be created on a server operating system, such as Windows Server 2003, so that the number of people who can access the share simultaneously is not limited.
For example, if you set up a file share on \\mainserver\symbols, then the members of your team set the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to the following:
As symbols are retrieved, files and folders appear in the \\mainserver\symbols shared directory, as well as in individual caches, in the c:\symbols directory.
This is typically all that is involved in setting up and using either your own symbol server, or the Microsoft symbol server.
Adding Symbols to a Symbol Server
To add, delete or edit files on a symbol server share, use the symstore.exe tool. This tool is part of the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows package. Full documentation on symbol servers, the symstore tool, and indexing symbols is included in the Debugging Tools for Windows package.
You may want to add symbols directly to your own symbol server, as part of a build process, or to make symbols available to your whole team for third-party libraries or tools. The process of adding a symbol to a symbol server file share is called indexing symbols. There are two common ways to index symbols. A symbol file can be copied to the symbol server. Or, a pointer to the location of the symbol can be copied to the symbol server. If you have an archive folder that contains your old builds, you may want to index pointers to the PDB files that are already on the share, instead of duplicating symbols. Because symbols can sometimes be tens of megabytes in size, it's a good idea to plan ahead for how much space you may require to archive all the builds of your project throughout development. If you index only pointers to symbols, you may have problems if you remove old builds, or change the name of a file share.
For example, to index recursively all the symbols in c:\dxsym\Extras\Symbols that you obtained from the October 2006 DirectX SDK onto a symbol server file share called \\mainserver\symbols, you can use the following command:
"c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\symstore" add /f "C:\dxsym\Extras\Symbols\*.pdb"
/s \\mainserver\symbols /t "October 2006 DirectX SDK " /r
The /t "comment" parameter is used to add a description to the transaction that added the symbols. This can be useful when performing administrative tasks on the symbols.
Best Practices
- Set up your own symbol server file share for your team, company, or product.
- Set up _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to point to a local cache, to a private symbol server, and to the Microsoft symbol server.
- If a debugger cannot load symbols for a component you are debugging, contact the owner of the component to request symbols—at least a stripped PDB.
- Set up an automated build system to index symbols on your private symbol server for each build that is produced. Make sure that the builds that you distribute are the builds that are generated by this process. This ensures that symbols are always available to debug problems.
- Set up a symbol server to allow debuggers to access the source code for a specific module directly from a Visual Source Safe or Perforce based source control system. If the source file information and symbols for a released version of a game are indexed, developers who have access to your symbol server can have full source level debugging of reported issues, without keeping build environments or old versions of source files on their development computers. To set up your symbol server to allow indexing of source file information, see source server documentation.

It's so hard to be back in Wisconsin after a wonderful trip to New Orleans! I loved the architecture, the easy-going nature of the city, and the weather–even if the humidity made my hair limp 15 minutes into the day! Even though we were there for a short amount of time, having the opportunity to debut my spring and summer clothes was such a nice respite from tights and wool sweaters! In addition to this wig, which is perfect for hot and humid weather with light, crisp cotton, I've been all about this pair of sunglasses that GlassesUSA sent over right before our trip.
GlassesUSA was founded with the mission to provide fashion-forward eyewear without the high price tag of designer brands, and they absolutely nailed it with their house brand Muse with the M0527 style that I'm wearing here. The oversize lenses have a flattering cat-eye shape and a unique matte finish. GlassesUSA carries more than just sunglasses, of course. If you're in the market for a new pair of prescription glasses, you'll be delighted to know that a complete pair with frames and lenses starts at $48. Prescription lenses are included free with every frame!
LOFT top | Gap shorts (old, similar) | GlassesUSA sunglasses (c/o) | Bauble Bar earrings | Julie Vos bracelet (c/o, similar) | Lulu Frost ring | Monica Vinader ring (similar) | Sam Edelman sandals (These threaten to give me blisters on the bottom of my feet the first time I wear them each year. This blister block does wonders.)

We would like to thank Mac Construction for their very excellent service. We had a leak in our wet room which we were unaware of, it had been leaking underneath the flooring and up into the plasterboard walls for quite some time. We had a visit from Paul and he took care of everything from start to finish as stated on their website. The work is of an excellent standard and we are very pleased with the finished result. We did have a problem with the flooring being laid poorly the first time (work not carried out by Mac Solutions) but Paul came down and sorted it out. He arranged for the flooring to be pulled up and relaid properly by another fitter (at our request). I would recommend their services and would use them again.

The rankings got shaken up on American Idol Thursday night, and tears were shed during the elimination. Did the judges use their save? Keep reading to find out.
The rankings got shaken up on American Idol Thursday night, and tears were shed during the elimination. Did the judges use their save? Keep reading to find out.
After a so-so group performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love" opened the show (was it pure coincidence that they gave Lazaro the "I got no rhythm / I just keep losing my beat" line? Just wondering), Jimmy Iovine gave his critique of Wednesday night's performances. Suffice it to say, he was mostly unimpressed. According to Iovine, Burnell Taylor "gave rock a bad name" with his Bon Jovi cover, Lazaro Arbosmay have earned himself an elimination with his take on Queen, and Candice Glover and Janelle Arthur should have picked better songs.
Did America agree? Let's find out ... but not before performances from Idol alums Casey James (who sweetly brought all the Top 7 contestants something from their hometowns) and Carrie Underwood.
Check out all the performances from this week's Idol
Another interesting tidbit from the night: Each of the judges were asked to name their Top 3. (Minaj noted afterwards that she wasn't told the results would be shown to the public.) Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jacksonall chose Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomband Angie Miller, while Mariah Carey swapped Candice in in place of Angie.
But what did viewers think? Ryan Seacrestrevealed the Top 3 based on voting results, and the answer was ... yes, sort of. America's Top 3 were Kree, Angie and — wait for it — Lazaro. (The sympathy vote strikes again!)
The rest of the safe contestants: Candice, Amber and Janelle. Meaning Burnell was left to sing for the save. Did the judges use it?
TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?
Nope. And it was a tearful goodbye as another guy bit the dust, with Mariah Carey and Candice Glover both turning on the waterworks.
What did you think? Should the judges have used their save? And were you surprised by the Top 3? Weigh in below!

Nationwide, pickup-truck sales have rebounded from the pit of 1.1 million units in 2009 to 1.66 million last year; and pickups are now the No. 4 market segment, making up 11.2 percent of all vehicle sales.
This isn't likely to drop, either (at least until gas hits $5 a gallon again), as the average pickup on the road is 12 years old now and apparently there's pent-up demand.
Furthermore, crew-cab pickups—the ones with cabins extended for four seats and four doors—were zero percent of the market in 2001, but accounted for more than 60 percent in 2012, and some 30 percent of pickups now sell for more than $40,000.
To Detroit, these trends mean that pickups have become "multipurpose purchases"—working trucks by day, family vehicles by night. Evidently, things have changed since I worked in the woods with a chain saw, wore steel-toe boots to church and drove an old Dodge Power Wagon.
As a car-industry guy, I'm supposed to know such things. As a truck guy, though, I'm out to lunch. Literally. I came out of a restaurant last week and tried to mount up. But the door wouldn't unlock, and after some frustration I realized I was trying to break into someone else's giant pickup. (To truck people, 3-Series BMWs and Audi A4s probably look alike.) Since this kind of supported the point about changing pickup-truck demographics, I started paying attention. Sure enough, for every battered truck with a logo on the door and lumber overhanging the tailgate, here came another really shiny one rumbling along with just the driver aboard—a truck like the Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4X4 from Chrysler.
It takes even longer to walk all the way around it (bring a lunch) than it does to recite the entire name of this thing. Peruse its Monroney sticker and the second thing you'll notice—after the price—is that where the fuel-economy figures should be, there is instead a big N/A in bold letters, followed by "Heavy duty vehicle, no label required." Aha, a loophole in the federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations big enough to penetrate with a Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4X4.
Would the truth slow buyers down? The trip computer calculated that, in a week, we got just 13.3 MPG with this three-ton machine and its 5.7-liter, 383-horsepower gas V-8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. This is the price of being able to tow 30,000 pounds—a loaded 12-horse trailer, say, with another Ram 3500 hooked on behind that. Or maybe it's the price of living with unresolved Freudian size issues?
The Ram people have glossed up this truck pretty thoroughly. The suspension is firm, not harsh. Nine stereo speakers and a subwoofer easily overcome any road noise. The leather seats, with their Laramie Longhorn saddle trim, are comfortable, and there's plenty of acreage around them. The wood-like steering wheel is loaded with controls, and has a heater. The "crew" in the back seats get their own A/C and seat heaters. The little lady will appreciate the power-adjustable pedals and seat, and the chromed side steps to climb that high. The tri-fold cover gives the cargo bed a finished look. The touch-screen controls are nearly as complex as a high-end German sedan's.
All this, however, raises the sticker price to apoplectic levels, yet leaves us with something that's neither fish nor fowl. The electronics and extra features make this one too fussy to be a down-and-dirty jobsite rig, while no amount of bling can disguise its basic truckishness or make it into something it's not. Transmission upshifts are coarse. It steers like a canal boat. The ride goes to heck the moment the pavement does—aim the Ram 3500 down a rutted road and the back end begins to dance around uncontrollably, just like pickup trucks did 40 years ago. Don't expect modern high-speed highway manners, either.
Dodge took a perfectly good $30,000 pair of coveralls and tailored them into an ill-fitting $60,000 tuxedo. And buying even a plain Ram 3500 Crew Cab 4X4 as an everyday vehicle would be like using the USS Iowa as a picnic boat.
Excuse me, I have to go hug a tree now.

Weather monitoring requirements can be very different depending on the application. For instance, when event organisers monitor the wind for outdoor activities, they are not concerned with the exact wind speed value - their priority is detecting dangerous weather and reacting accordingly to prevent accidents. On the other hand, universities and research organisations monitor the weather to gain knowledge, and factors like accuracy and precision become more important.
Accurate data is also very important in wind power applications, since production estimates for wind turbines are as good as the data available. For example, if wind speeds for a project site are overestimated, the real financial performance will fall below the projected scenario.
With current scientific knowledge, the weather cannot be predicted with 100% accuracy. However, weather forecasting is very useful for public and private institutions, since they can take preventive measures to minimise the impact of adverse weather. Forecasting is possible thanks to scientific models, and these models have been developed through many years of weather observation.
Improved weather models lead to more reliable forecasts, increasing the effectiveness of preventive measures for extreme weather. Scientists can also observe climate threats that evolve over many years, such as the polar vortex disruptions that have affected North America in recent years.
When weather monitoring is used for safety, knowing the wind speed and direction is normally enough. However, more variables must be monitored in scientific applications, to analyse how they are related. The following are some examples of instruments used in scientific weather monitoring, in addition to anemometers and weather vanes:
The barometer is an example of a sensor that becomes very important in scientific applications. While atmospheric pressure may not be relevant when the wind is monitored for construction safety, it is fundamental data for weather scientists. Along with temperature, atmospheric pressure is one of the most important factors that influences wind patterns.
To summarise, scientific weather monitoring is more demanding in terms of equipment specification, since accurate knowledge can only be obtained from accurate measurements. Scientific applications also need more sensor inputs, to study the relationship between many weather variables.
Weather stations must often operate in remote and unmanned locations, exposed to the elements for several months or years. In addition to offering measurement quality, a scientific weather monitoring system must be capable of stand-alone operation during extended periods. Thus, the following features become necessary:
Combining these features and 14 sensor inputs, WINDLogger has been developed as a weather monitoring solution for high-accuracy applications - scientific research and wind power projects are two key examples. The organisations that have deployed WINDLogger include NASA, and the list of research sites includes deserts and glaciers.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A judge who was censured for having sex with two women in his chambers has handily won reelection in Orange County.
Scott Steiner beat veteran prosecutor Karen Schatzle 56 percent to 44 percent in Tuesday's election, according to unofficial results from the county registrar of voters.
Steiner has been a Superior Court judge since 2011.
The Los Angeles Times says he was censured by the Commission on Judicial Performance in 2014 for having sex with two women — his intern and a practicing lawyer — in chambers. He also was reprimanded for failing to disqualify himself from a case involving a longtime friend.
Steiner ultimately acknowledged wrongdoing.
