The New Zealand dollar rose against the greenback after a measure of US manufacturing was weaker than expected and as traders await the Reserve Bank of Australia's policy review, which may retain scope to cut interest rates.
The kiwi rose to 83.72 US cents from 83.52 cents in late Asian trading on Monday. The trade-weighted index was little changed at 76.83.
The US Institute for Supply Management's index of national factory activity dropped to 51.3 in March, against expectations in a Bloomberg survey that it would be little changed at 54.
On Wall Street, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.6 per cent from a record high.
"The USD shed ground across the board last night after the March US ISM index disappointed expectations," said Richard Franulovich, a senior currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp.
Gains in the New Zealand dollar will likely be capped at 84 US cents on Tuesday, he said in a note.
Locally, the ANZ Commodity Price Index for March is due out today and will be followed by the results of the latest GlobalDairyTrade auction on Wednesday.
Dairy prices have spiked higher in the face of widespread drought, which prompted Fonterra Cooperative Group to raise its forecast milk payout last week.
Later on Tuesday, Australia's central bank is scheduled to release its latest review of monetary policy.
The bank is expected to keep its cash rate at three per cent and Mr Franulovich says it will probably keep its "scope to cut" commentary.
The kiwi traded at 80.29 Australian cents from 80.31 cents on Monday.
It slipped to 54.97 British pence from 55 pence and fell to 65.16 euro cents from 65.34 cents. The local currency dropped to 78.11 yen from 78.53 yen.

Moores left the national set-up in 2009 after a high-profile spat with Kevin Pietersen and took over coaching duties with Lancashire, whom he led to the County Championship title in 2011.
Moores is one of four names on the short-list to replace Andy Flower, along with Ashley Giles, Trevor Bayliss and Mick Newell.
Referring to Moores' impact during his previous England spell, Lancashire pacemen Anderson said: "He (Moores) probably started off one of our best periods as a team that we have had for many years and I'm sure Andy Flower would admit he learned a lot from being assistant to Peter, so I think he deserves some credit.
"He brings a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm, and that is the first thing that hits you when you go into a dressing room with him. He's also an extremely good technical coach and he's got the whole package.
"A lot of the guys here at Lancashire have flourished with him as coach. The guys enjoy working with him, he's obviously been very successful here - we won the Championship and we're back in the first division this year and hoping for more success.
"His style is exactly the same. I'm sure he'll admit he made a couple of mistakes when he was coaching England, and I'm sure he's learned from that, and if he gets another chance he'll make sure he doesn't do them again."
Moores declared his interest in the post during Lancashire's pre-season press day on Friday, saying: "I'm a passionate Englishman and the thought of coaching your country is something I'm interested in.
"I'm in the process so I suppose it depends what happens - I'm very conscious that I'm in a job now that I've loved and I still love.
"There's an excitement to have another go at it, and a frustration at the last time because in some ways you always have a vision when you're doing any job of where you want to go."

|Director of Athletics
|Previous College:
|St. Mary's '81
Moyer joined the Green Terror staff in July 2011 as director of athletics after 11 years in the same position at Moravian.
A 23-year veteran as the chief administrator at four different stops, Moyer came to McDaniel with experience within the Centennial Conference in his latest stop in Bethlehem, Pa. His Greyhounds have been an associate member in football since 2007.
While at Moravian, he was responsible for program operations in Physical Education, Athletics and Recreation, including leading and directing a required, non-major physical education curriculum.
Moyer has experience on numerous committees, including on the NCAA Nominating Committee, the future of NCAA Division III Committee, the Landmark Conference Integration Institutes Committee and the Landmark Soccer and Tennis Committees.
He most recently served as Chair of the Landmark Conference Athletic Directors committee and, in the past, served as President of the Capital Athletic Conference and two years as on the MAC operations committee.
Moyer was integral in the formation of the Landmark Conference, chairing the formation committee for the conference that began play in 2007.
Prior to his tenure at Moravian, he spent six years as the Director of Athletics and Recreation at St. Mary's (Md.). He was also the Assistant Director of Physical Education and Athletics at the University of Chicago from 1990-1994 after four years in various administrative roles at Manhattanville, starting as an assistant director before being elevated to associate director and ultimately to his first directorship.
From 1983-86, he was the Athletic Facilities Director at Catholic and spent time with the Washington Bullets, Team America Soccer and Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee.
Moyer has extensive coaching experience, including as head men's soccer coach at Catholic, Manhattanville and Chicago as well as men's golf coach at St. Mary's and women's golf coach at Moravian.
Moyer is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and the National Soccer Coaches of America Association. He currently serves on the NCAA Div. III women's soccer championship committee and chairs the Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee.
A 1981 graduate of St. Mary's, he earned his bachelor of arts in social science and economics. He holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins (1987) and completed post-graduate coursework in higher education administration and finance at Columbia University.
He and his wife Pam have two daughters, Sydney and Cara.

Shopping the drugstore beauty aisle isn't easy. Whether it's foundation, lipstick, or blush, an expert's opinion can make the difference between scoring a new must-have or a drawer full of subpar products. We put celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali in front of a table of over 50 drugstore blushes (and a pack of face wipes) and challenged her with finding the best. Which formulas would she use on her own clients like Christina Hendricks, Ashley Greene, and Anna Kendrick? After weeding through blushes that are too-sparkly, streaky, or not-pigmented enough, she found seven formulas that compete with department store brands that are four times the price.
Flower Beauty Win Some, Rouge Some Crème Blush ($8) in Elegant Azalea, Peach Blossom, and Pure Petunia
"I immediately love this formula!" Scali says when trying Flower Beauty's cream blushes. "You can build the intensity of the color easily and it has a nice powdery finish." Her favorite shades from the bunch are Elegant Azalea, Peach Blossom, and Pure Petunia.
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Airbrushing Blush SPF 30 ($12) in Rose
"This is a really beautiful, natural-looking hue," Scali says about Physicians Formula's mineral blush in Rose. "It imparts very little shimmer and has a lot of color, which is great."
Revlon Photoready Cream Blush ($13) in Pinched
"People shy away from bright colors, but they last longer than muted tones and look fresher on the skin," Scali says. The trick to applying a bright hue? Use sparingly and blend well. "This formula is incredibly creamy and very wearable," she says about Revlon's Photoready Cream Blush in Pinched.
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush ($4) in Rock 'n Rose, Classic Pink, and Pretty Peach
After finding dozens of powder formulas too chalky, Scali fell for CoverGirl's Cheekers Blush, calling the formula foolproof. "It's not too shiny and these colors are very pretty," she says. Her shades of choice are Classic Pink, Rock 'n Roses, and Pretty Peach, all of which suit a variety of skintones.
E.l.f. HD Blush ($3) in Headliner
"This formula would look beautiful on dry or older skin," Scali says of E.l.f's dewy formula. It's very pigmented and slippery, so make sure to build the color slowly. "It's more like a luminizer and a blush," she says.
L'Oreal Paris Visible Lift Blush ($12) in Coral Lift, Peach Gold Lift, and Pink Lift
If you like your blush shimmery (a la Nars Orgasm) try L'Oreal's Visible Lift Blush. "These colors are beautiful," Scali says about Coral Lift, Peach Gold Lift, and Pink Lift. She suggests you keep the color to the apples of your cheeks, since they deliver fine glittery particles that can travel.
Sonia Kashuk Crème Blush ($10) in Petal and Rosey
"I'm a sucker for cream blush," Scali says after trying Sonia Kashuk's formula. "If you're going for a pigment like thi,s you're best off applying it with a duo fiber brush or your fingers." She uses M.A.C.'s 188 Small Face Brush ($35) and favors the shades Petal and Rosey.

Exhibit Features MLB Parks Built From Legos
The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, Ky. recently opened its 'Big Leagues, Little Bricks' exhibition. The installation features the work of several artists who have built LEGO replicas of Miller Park, Wrigley Field, Marlins Park, Yankee Stadium and PNC Park.
The LEGO version of Wrigley Field took 57,960 bricks to finish; even the ivy was made from LEGOs. The Miller Park LEGO structure required more than 35,000 bricks, including enough to finish a working retractable roof. We didn't make anything that cool out of LEGOs when we were kids, just lots of stuff that looked like a building. Almost.
In addition to the LEGO brick ballparks, portraits of Derek Jeter, Joey Votto and Buster Posey are on display courtesy of artist Sean Kenney — one of only 13 LEGO Certified Professionals in the world.
We don't know how much time these awesome works of LEGO art took to build, but we are really interested in seeing the look on someone's face when Kenney tells them he is a LEGO Certified Professional (with a business card to back it up). Boom! Done.

Quick Navigation:
When we drink coffee or other quick-release caffeine beverages, there is a surge of noradrenaline release in the brain that gives us a burst of energy. The problem is that this sudden release of noradrenaline depletes its precursor, L-phenylalanine, thereby causing the caffeine "letdown" effect so many people experience later in the day. By taking L-phenylalanine and other noradrenaline factors with caffeine, many people are able to achieve sustained energy levels throughout the day. The reason is that the L-phenylalanine induces more noradrenaline to be produced in the brain.1-2*
Blast™ is a high-performance designer food comprised of caffeine, L-phenylalanine (an essential nutrient amino acid), and essential nutrient cofactors. Use Blast™ for a fast start to a long, hard-driving day of work or play. The product includes a flavor system comprised of citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid (the substances that give many fruits such as apples, oranges, and cherries their tart flavor), natural flavors, and silicon dioxide (mineral dispersant and wetting agent).
L-phenylalanine, along with the other nutrients in Blast™, provides your brain with a system of raw materials it can use to make the essential neurotransmitter noradrenaline, the brain's version of adrenaline. Noradrenaline is the brain's natural stimulant, giving you mental energy and get-up-and-go. L-phenylalanine is also converted in the brain to dopamine,1-2 a neurotransmitter involved in memory and reward circuitry, and beta-phenethylamine, a neuromodulator that increases the activating effects of noradrenaline.3-8* The L-form of phenylalanine can be converted in the body to another amino acid—tyrosine. Tyrosine, in turn, can be converted into one of several neurotransmitter molecules (L-dopa, norepinephrine, and epinephrine), each of which have important functions in brain metabolism.

These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
|Supplement Facts
|Dosage and Use
Do not consume more than 2.6 grams of supplemental phenylalanine per day. Keep away from dogs. The xylitol in this product is harmful if ingested by dogs. Not for use by children or by pregnant or lactating women, persons with the genetic metabolic disorder PKU, psychosis, persons taking prescription MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor drugs, pigmented malignant melanoma cancer patients, those with Wilson's disease, or those who have a violent temper. Not for use by anyone sensitive to any of the ingredients. Excessive consumption of L-phenylalanine or caffeine may cause insomnia, especially when taken in the late afternoon or evening. If insomnia occurs, reducing the amount consumed by 1/2 will usually correct the problem. If insomnia is a problem, we suggest drinking BLAST only once per day for the first week, right after you arise in the morning. During the second week and thereafter, drink it twice per day, upon arising and an hour before lunch.

Although decades of research have identified effective instructional practices for improving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, these practices are not widely implemented. Scholars in three fields are interested in promoting these practices and have engaged in research on pedagogical change: Disciplinary-based STEM Education Researchers, Faculty Development Researchers, and Higher Education Researchers. There is little interaction between the fields and efforts in all areas have met with only modest success. In this paper we present an initial examination of 130 randomly chosen articles from a set of 295 we identified as addressing efforts to promote change in the instructional practices of STEM faculty. We identify four core change strategies and note that change strategies differ by fields. Articles in all fields frequently do not provide enough evidence to convincingly argue for the success of the change strategy studied and have few connections to theoretical or empirical literature related to change. This literature review and related efforts sit within broader efforts to promote interdisciplinary directed at facilitating lasting change.

It is mid-June and the Oakland Athletics are the best team in baseball. They are also, somehow, one of the most underachieving.
They're scoring 5.09 runs a game (first in the majors) and allowing only 3.12 (also first), which at their current pace works out to a full season of 824 runs scored, 505 runs allowed and an astounding +319 run differential. They are in the top five of just about any team offensive number or metric you'd care to look at except batting average and stolen bases. But somehow, the expected win/loss metrics say they should be better. The Athletics are already sitting on a run differential of +130, but with "only" the second-best record in baseball at 40-26, they're running behind their expected W/L record by about seven wins. If the 2014 Athletics keep on scoring runs, allowing runs and winning games at the same exact rates they are now through the end of the year, they will own one of the biggest positive single-season run differentials in the modern era -- as well as the biggest discrepancy between how many games they actually win and how many games their Pythagorean expectation said they should win. This seems absolutely nonsensical on the face of it: It should not be possible to be one of the best teams in baseball and be one of the biggest underachievers in league history in the same season.
Yet here we are. The Athletics' current .606 winning percentage would leave them with 98 wins at the end of the year -- an outstandingly successful season by any measure, almost certainly good enough to win the AL West and perhaps even the American League outright. But a team that scores 824 runs while only allowing 505 over a 162-game schedule has an expected Pythagorean winning percentage of .710. And a .710 winning percentage over 162 games is a 115-win season. There is only one team in the last 60 years that has won more than 115 games in a single year: the 2001 Seattle Mariners, who went 116-46 on their way to a 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees in the ALDS. And that Mariners team outperformed their projected record by seven wins.
At this point it might be useful to briefly touch on what "Pythagorean winning percentage" actually is, because tossing around the names of old Greek mathematicians has the tendency to make people's minds jump to algebra or geometry, not statistics. Worry not, there is no proof-writing to be found here; the "Pythagorean Theory of Baseball" was one of the early metrics put together by Bill James back in his Almanac days, and it looks like this:
(Team Runs Scored)^2 divided by [(Team Runs Scored)^2 + (Team Runs Allowed)^2] = expected winning percentage
It's a simple formula, but a strange one, and the only real resemblance to Pythagoras' actual theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) is that it involves squaring variables. This is probably a point in its favor, given how little Euclidean geometry has to say about how many games of baseball the Oakland Athletics should win this year.
Ignore the exponents, however, and it becomes quite clear what "Pythag" actually is: It's the formula for winning percentage, replacing wins with runs scored and losses with runs allowed, and then pairing those values with an exponential coefficient so that the output more closely resembles a team winning percentage within standard statistical norms. The exponents in James' formula represent not geometric truth but statistical precision -- all in all, a very nifty exercise in branding.
You also may have noticed that plugging 824 and 505 into their respective places in that formula spits out .722 after rounding, not .710. It turns out that choosing your exponential coefficients for purposes of name-checking a famous dead guy can lead to some small degree of imprecision; current versions of the formula call for an exponential factor of 1.81 or 1.83 instead of 2. The precise character of the factor is calculated using the current league scoring environment in total runs scored. (In fairness to James, he was an amateur statistician in a field he was essentially developing by himself, and in the end his selection of 2 still turned out to be pretty close. James would go on to introduce some more rigorous logarithmic methods of calculating expected winning percentage.)
All of this is not to say that the underlying theory behind Pythagorean winning percentage is wrong: It is eminently just and proper to believe that, over any reasonably significant period of time, a team that scores more runs than it allows will win more games than a team for which the reverse is true. But as much as that resonates, Major League Baseball (as currently constructed) doesn't particularly care how many runs you score. It cares about how many times your team scored more runs that it allowed over 162 discrete contests, with no extra credit or demerits given for blowouts.
The variation in how runs are distributed by game can play havoc with how well any expected Win-Loss estimator works -- the 2012 Baltimore Orioles will remain a poster child for that particular truism for years to come. As you might expect, with the season roughly one-third gone, Oakland leads the league with 14 games in which they've scored nine or more runs, with only the Colorado Rockies (with 12) anywhere close. The A's, who were 14-0 in those contests, scored 149 runs and allowed 36. But there are a number of routs in the 11-1 range in there; that means that nearly half of the runs that Oakland has plated in 2014 came in only 21 percent of the games they played. Compare that to the only team in the league with a better record than Oakland, the San Francisco Giants: The Giants have only five games with nine or more runs, all wins, for a total of 51 runs scored; but they also have 36 runs allowed, the same as the Athletics in one-third the games. Pythagorean win expectancy favors curbstomps such as Oakland's, with the expectation that they will balance out across a large enough sample. The Giants, despite being 38-9 this year when they score three or more runs, do not routinely run their opposition out of the stadium, which is why they're actually beating their Pythag by three wins at present. (The Athletics are no slouches themselves at 39-12 in that situation.)
So how will this play out through the end of the season for Oakland? I personally still won't believe that Scott Kazmir's going to throw 200 innings of 2.20 ERA baseball until I see it in the books, and even then I'll probably still have my doubts. But outside of Kazmir and the overachieving catcher platoon of Norris/Jaso, there's not a whole lot of weirdness on the team. Josh Donaldson is an early MVP candidate for the second straight season, and Brandon Moss has quietly been a top-five first baseman for about two years now, while Yoenis Cespedes, Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie are all very nice complements to the Moss/Donaldson whirlwind doom squad. Sonny Gray is a special young pitcher who is capable of not only sustaining what's been a strong sophomore season so far, but of building on it as well. The bullpen has been its usual great self outside of the swiftly-remedied Jim Johnson disaster. (It is worth noting that bullpen performance also sabotages Pythag outcomes -- the Athletics would likely have a couple more wins right now if not for Johnson's early-season meltdowns.)
The biggest concern the A's have right now is what to do if Scott Kazmir and Jesse Chavez both come back to Earth, at which point the rotation once again becomes an issue for the team. It's not inconceivable to think that the A's might address that with some sort of deadline deal for a rental, which would firm things up considerably.
All in all, however, the A's on paper look a lot more like "just" the first-place team they are right now than the transcendently, generationally-dominant club their "Pythag" predicts they should be. And there's good reason to believe that, in this instance, the projections will come down to meet reality as the season goes on, instead of the other way around.

Franklin Township trustees are considering a move that could cost residents and business owners a bundle if Kent firefighters are frequently called to their property.
Under the proposed resolution, which will be discussed at the Franklin trustees' Nov. 27 meeting, the township would charge a fee to property owners if:
n the Kent Fire Department responds to more than three false alarms at a property in one calendar year.
n the department responds to more than one report of unauthorized burning on a property in one calendar year.
n the department makes more than five emergency medical service runs to one business or a housing complex with R-4 multi-family residential zoning in one calendar year.
The township contracts for fire and emergency medical services through Kent, which currently charges the township $1,156.50 for every service run.
Under the new proposal, the township would charge the full cost of the run to property owners for every unauthorized burning on the property after the first incident and charge the full cost minus any insurance reimbursements for any medical service runs to commercial properties in excess of five.
The township would charge $300 for every false alarm after the third at one site, which is the maximum charge allowed for false fire alarms under state law.
Franklin Township administrator Ken Penix said the trustees first discussed the resolution while looking for ways to defray the township's fire and emergency medical services costs, which have risen sharply over the past few years due to increased calls for service.
"The proposal will drive down our net costs and allow us to absorb these increased runs," Penix said.
Penix said the township received $438,917 in total billings from the city last year for fire and medical service, up more than $25,000 compared to billings from 2010 and up more than $87,000 compared to 2009.
Penix said the proposal would not charge any additional fees to individual homeowners who make more than five 911 calls for emergency medical services because township officials do not want sick or injured residents to avoid seeking help because they fear the costs.
"If people feel like they need an ambulance, they ought to call," Penix said. "We don't want to have any impact on that at all."
Penix said he believed the poor economy in recent years may be to blame for the increasing calls for service in Franklin Township. He said residents who lost jobs and health insurance may be depending increasingly on emergency medical services because they can not regularly meet with a doctor.
Although township officials do not blame excessive false alarms and unauthorized burns for the increase in service calls, Penix said the proposal singles those areas out because they can be used to raise funds without charging extra for medical services to any residents.
The Franklin Township Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Nov. 27 to discuss the proposed resolution. Until then, residents can view the proposal at the Franklin Township Hall Monday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Microsoft Patents Pay-As-You-Go PC Computing
Did you purchase the entire Microsoft Office Suite, but only use Word? Were visions of becoming a Photoshop whiz short-lived? Do you only use the Internet to check e-mail?
A pay-as-you-go computer developed by Microsoft might be an economical choice down the line. The software giant has applied for a patent that would offer low-priced computers that provide usage-based access to software, according to documents released on Christmas Day.
"An in-vehicle mapping and directions appliance may be invaluable during a trip to unfamiliar territory, but for normal trips for shopping and school-related activities, the appliance may not even be turned on," Microsoft wrote on the patent application. "An advanced graphics package may lie unused until it is time for a graduation invitation or an annual Christmas letter with integrated photos and seasonal graphics."
Consumers would be able to buy computers at lower prices, and then purchase access to software programs via set bundles or on a per-hour basis.
One bundle, for example, might include selections for Office, Gaming, and Browsing. Office options, which would include word processing and spreadsheets, might cost $1.00 per hour, while the Gaming bundle, with 3D graphics support, would run $1.25 per hour. Internet browsing would cost $0.80 per hour, according to the application.
Purchase options would include pre-paid access, subscription-based bundles, or the per usage fee. Microsoft would enter into revenue-sharing agreements with various hardware providers, fulfillment centers, service providers, or underwriters.
Microsoft filed the patent application in June 2007.

Finding Your Voice in Washington, DC
Paul Nathanson, of the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, and Omar Nashashibi, of The Franklin Partnership, are members of the One Voice Advocacy team. One Voice represents the interests of the Precision Metalforming Association and the National Tooling and Machining Association in Washington, DC.
In Washington, D.C., the saying goes: "if you're not at the table, you're on the menu." No matter where your business is based or where your customers are located, it's essential to keep an eye on what's going on "inside the Belt." It only takes a slight shift in the political winds or a sentence slipped into a Congressional bill or regulation, often with little notice or fanfare, to cause major upheaval for your industry—and your company. An effective plan to monitor key issues that impact your company's bottom line and engage your elected representatives and government officials in Washington on an ongoing basis is a must for any manufacturer.
A number of government agencies are proving this point by moving forward with rules and regulations that could have a major financial impact on manufacturers. Examples include:
• A National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaint against Boeing demanding that the company transfer work from its facility in the largely non-union state of South Carolina to Washington State;
• The NLRB's dramatic shortening of the union-election process from the median timeframe of 38 days to as little as 10 to 21 days after a union-election petition has been filed;
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) injury reporting requirements; and
• The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) unprecedented number of proposed regulations that would substantially raise compliance and energy costs for manufacturers.
It's equally important to keep an eye on Congress. For example, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction ("Super Committee") resulting from the July 2011 debt agreement deal between the Obama Administration and Congress consists of six Senators and six Representatives split evenly among the parties. This committee, which some are calling the "Divine Dozen," has full authority to look at government spending and revenue (meaning taxes, user fees and other federal government collections) and may now have control over the tax rates, deductions and credits that impact all manufacturers.
While it may seem like Washington doesn't listen, those who have participated in advocacy and strategic communications work tell a different story. The fact is that companies wanting to influence the regulatory and legislative process do have options at their disposal. Proactive education and advocacy campaigns can indeed be successful in delaying, preventing or modifying government actions.
For example, in September 2011, due in large part to a well-organized industry advocacy campaign, the Obama Administration announced the delay of the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations and the indefinite suspension of the ozone rule. The Administration did not implement this delay because it suddenly realized that the expensive new regulations would further damage the manufacturing sector and prevent job creation. Rather, the Administration acted because manufacturers came together to vocally oppose these regulations, educate Members of Congress and policymakers, and generate grassroots support.
The delay of these EPA regulations shows the importance of educating policymakers and Members of Congress on the real-world impact that these types of regulations have on manufacturers.
But there's more work to be done to ensure that manufacturing continues to have a voice in Washington.
Congressional staff work on literally hundreds of issues each session and rely on representatives from the business community, non-governmental organizations and academia to provide them with information. If the manufacturing community does not engage their elected representatives, they leave the playing field open to others who may not share their interests.
One of the most effective s that manufacturers can influence policymaking in Washington is through their Congressional representatives. A Member of Congress likely will think twice before voting for legislation that may cause economic harm to businesses in his or her district. This is a phenomenon in Washington that truly transcends partisanship; all Members of Congress will move mountains to protect a vulnerable employer in their district. However, Members of Congress will only learn about the impact of legislation on their constituents if they hear about it from their constituents.
With the assistance of your trade association, you can engage your elected representative in a variety of s. You can invite them to visit one of your manufacturing facilities or organize a meeting with them in their offices in Washington or in your state. This should be done before a problem arises, as these activities can go a long toward building a valuable connection that could be vital if you need legislative support down the road. Your senator or representative can also often help elevate your issues with federal agency officials by contacting those agencies.While every manufacturer across the nation has different priorities and goals, no manufacturer is immune to the regulations, legislation and rules being debated in Washington at this very moment.
Manufacturers can make a difference in Washington, but only if they participate in the process. Contact your trade association to review your priorities, reach out to your elected representatives and get a seat at the table—instead of on the menu. MF

The Situation has found himself in many, many situations involving pussy. One could say he lives in a world of pussy galore. But his newest ad for the animal rights group, PETA has him surrounded by a whole nother type of pussy – and there's no smoosh room in sight!
The Jersey Shore star has decided to use his fame for activism, which is a lot more productive than most of his extracurricular activities. In the new ad, Mike gives some advice he's very familar with. "Too much pussy can be a bad thing," the ad reads, serving as a reminder to spay and neuter your pets.
"It was important for me to partner with PETA to raise awareness about the homeless animal crisis because so many dogs and cats must be euthanized each year because there aren't enough good homes for them all," Mike shares of his decision to particpate in the ad.
"Everyone can help solve this problem by spaying and neutering their animals and making sure to adopt animals and support their local shelters."
There's a SFW copy of the add above and a NSFW copy of the ad below! Also, below is a video of Mike discussing his affiliation with PETA and a behind-the-scenes glimpse of his pussy galore photo shoot! Good for The Situation for doing something positive for pussies to make up for all the negative things he's done to them in the past. Everyone deserves a second (400th?) chance, right?
Speaking of Jersey Shore, don't forget tonight is the second episode of the final season for the show. Tonight The Situation will open up about his trip to rehab and Snooki makes a very surprising announcement!
Jersey Shore airs tonight 8/7c on MTV. So if you're watching, don't hesitate to discuss your thoughts on Reality Tea!

chromium oxide
Chromium Oxide Green is a dull, dense, willow or pale green color that is completely opaque. It has an average drying time and a low tinting strength. It is fairly flexible in oil form and is suitable for all purposes and mediums. This pigment is less versatile in mixtures than Viridian and Phthalocyanine Green, but mixes well with other colors without overpowering them.
Chromium Oxide Green has excellent permanence, even at high temperatures.
Chromium Oxide Green is slightly toxic. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments such as PG17. Chromium(VI) salts, which appear in yellowish pigments, have been proven to cause cancer.
Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin discovered the element chromium in lead chromate in 1797. It began to be used as an enamel and ceramic color in 1809, but it had limited use as a pigment until 1862, because of its cost. It is the most commonly used green for military camouflage because it appears the same shade as living foliage under infrared light.
Chrome Oxide Green, Olive Green, Permanent Green. Varieties of Chromium Oxide Green include Arnaudon's Green, Dingler's Green, Plessy's Green, and Schnitzer's Green.
mix of organic pigments
Hooker's Green is a bright olive-green often sold in a yellowish shade and a bluish shade. Its transparency can range from dull and dark to bright and light because lightness and chroma vary based on manufacturer. Modern varieties have a rich, dark tone that provides a great range when mixing. Hooker's Green is particularly good for landscape painting when a larger range of foliage is required. Dioxazine Violet is the best mixing compliment in watercolor form.
The permanence and lightfastness of Hooker's Green varies by brand. As a composite pigment historically mixed from Prussian Blue and Gamboge, its permanence is only fair. Modern replacements for Hooker's Green tend to be mixed with components that have more permanence, such as Phthalocyanine Green, Burnt Umber, and sometimes Hansa or Cobalt Yellow.
Hooker's Green can be hazardous, but the toxicity level depends on the specific pigments used by each individual manufacturer or brand.
This pigment was originally an unreliable mix of Prussian or Iron Blue and Gamboge. Later, it became a more reliable mix of Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo Blue or Green. It was a staple green for 19th century landscape and botanical painters. Most modern Hooker's Green paints are yellow greens with a hue angle around 140, or a mix of Phthalo Green and Burnt Umber.

Walter Energy, Inc. (NYSE: WLT) (TSX: WLT) today issued a letter to its shareholders raising serious concerns about Audley Capital's slate of nominees and highlighting the steps underway by the Company's Board and new management team to increase shareholder value. The letter from Chairman Michael T. Tokarz and CEO and Director Walter J. Scheller III highlights "troubling aspects" about Audley's campaign to replace five of its nine independent directors, including the fact that Audley's proxy statement contains serious omissions regarding the background and history of its nominees. These omissions include insider trading charges, deficient governance, and misrepresentations of experience. Walter Energy said the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed the Audley slate and determined that individually and collectively they lack the qualifications and experience to be suitable Board candidates. Walter Energy has a balanced mix of experience and expertise on its Board, and four of the 10 current directors have joined within the past two years. "We are intensely focused on enhancing shareholder value by reducing debt levels, continuing to reduce SG&A expenses, and identifying alternatives for underperforming assets," the letter states. "These initiatives are consistent with our objective of optimizing our portfolio and ensuring that each of our operations is cash flow positive and on a clear path to profitability under current market conditions and outlook." The letter concludes: "Over the years your Board has created long term value for all stockholders with judgment and integrity. We recognize and accept the challenge of responding to the recent and dramatic decline in met coal pricing that has affected every company in this industry. Your Board and management have taken every reasonable step to respond to that trend and to position the Company for future profitable growth as conditions improve. That work should accrue to your benefit, not that of others. Now is not the time to reverse course."
Text of March 25 letter from Messrs. Tokarz and Scheller to Walter Energy shareholders:Dear Fellow Walter Energy Shareholders: We have been pleased to speak with many of you over the past few weeks and, as always, we are appreciative of your insights and input. During our discussions, we have reviewed the ways in which your Board and management are fully aligned in positioning the Company for vigorous and profitable growth in anticipation of the recovery of the met coal market. We have an experienced management team in place that has safely increased production to a record level while curtailing low margin tonnage, improving average met coal cost per ton of production as well as reducing total SG&A expenses, tightening capital spending, improving liquidity, and aggressively pursuing debt reduction. We are intensely focused on enhancing shareholder value by reducing debt levels, continuing to reduce SG&A expenses, and identifying alternatives for underperforming assets. These initiatives are consistent with our objective of optimizing our portfolio and ensuring that each of our operations is cash flow positive and on a clear path to profitability under current market conditions and outlook. Your Board has provided invaluable oversight of our proactive approach to portfolio and cost management. Moreover, our commitment to decisive change in pursuit of value creation is reflected in the Board's balance and composition. Four of the 10 current directors have joined within the past two years, adding important new perspectives and skills to historical knowledge and continuity of leadership. With this backdrop, it is unfortunate that an offshore hedge fund, Audley Capital, is seeking five out of nine independent Board seats at our April 25 th Annual Meeting of Shareholders – threatening to derail our new management team and the important progress we have made thus far. Audley owns less than one-tenth of one percent of the Company's shares, and only one individual on Audley's slate claims beneficial ownership of any shares. This is not evidence of an alignment with and long-term commitment to your best interests. We also want to bring to your attention other troubling aspects about their campaign:
- Audley's proxy statement contains serious omissions regarding the background and history of its nominees – These include insider trading charges, deficient governance, and misrepresentations of their experience.
- Audley's nominees lack the credentials we require of our directors – The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of your Board has carefully considered Audley's slate and determined that, collectively and individually, they lack the qualifications and experience to lead a multi-billion dollar New York and Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company such as Walter Energy.
- Audley is focused on short term gains at the expense of other shareholders – The hedge fund's prior track record with Walter Energy underscores in our view its opportunistic, "hit and run" approach in driving up the stock price with public statements in order to take immediate profits.
- Debt reduction underway. Our first priority is debt reduction and improving our liquidity and debt maturity profile. To that end, last week we raised $450 million of new senior unsecured notes which will extend our debt maturities and increase our liquidity. The issue was very well received, evidencing the credit market's favorable view of our progress, and priced at a lower interest rate than our issue last November.
- Significant cost improvements. In 2012 we reduced SG&A by 19%, and we have targeted an additional reduction in SG&A expenses in 2013. We reduced average met coal cash cost per ton by 6% compared to 2011, and by 16% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.
- Able and experienced management team in place. The Board named Walt Scheller Chief Executive Officer in September 2011, and during 2012 we appointed to our senior management team a mix of highly experienced external and internal executives.
- Strengthened operational performance. We safely increased production of met coal by 35% to a record 11.7 metric tons in 2012, developed our capacity to produce in excess of 15 million metric tons when market conditions warrant, and curtailed production at low margin mines. Most recently we announced we will be idling our Willow Creek mine in Canada and will be closing our North River mine in Alabama ahead of schedule.
AUDLEY'S NOMINEES ARE FLAWED AND LACK THE NECESSARY RECORDS OF SUCCESSFUL STEWARDSHIPThe Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of Walter Energy's Board reviewed the qualifications of the Audley nominees as part of its established nominee review process. The Committee concluded that the Audley nominees did not meet the Company's standards for directorship. The Audley nominees lack the track record and credentials that would qualify them to be directors of a company with Walter Energy's financial, industrial, and market profile and governance requirements. Material facts were also omitted from Audley's proxy statement about these nominees, all of which are important for you to know: Julian Treger: Questions about "hit and run" track record Julian Treger has a history of opportunistic, short-term investing at the expense of other shareholders. In September 2010, Mr. Treger put his obligations as a director of Western Coal aside in the interest of a making a profit for Audley, resigning as a director of Western Coal so that he could solicit offers for the large bloc of Western Coal shares owned by Audley. He ultimately agreed to sell the bulk of this bloc to Walter Energy for cash in November 2010. This was prior to and not conditioned upon Western Coal entering into an acquisition agreement with your Company, which did not occur until December 2010. Less than a year later, when he held shares of Walter Energy common stock in the aftermath of the Company's acquisition of Western Coal, Mr. Treger decided to profit from self-created publicity at the expense of Walter Energy's public investors and at the risk of destabilizing the Company. On Sunday, July 17, 2011, Mr. Treger sent a letter marked "Private & Confidential" to your Board calling for the Company's sale, asserting that the Company was worth twice what it was trading for at the time and requesting a response by August 5 th. The next day, Monday, July 18, he publicly disclosed that letter, without allowing the Company to consider or respond to it. To take advantage of the sharp increase in our stock price following his disclosure, Audley immediately began selling its shares of Walter Energy's common stock and continued to do so over the course of the first four days of that week -- selling 300,000 shares, or 33% of his holdings, between July 18 and July 21. By the end of October 2011, Audley had sold nearly all of its remaining holdings in Walter Energy. Audley's proxy statement seeks to create the impression that its sales followed a decision by your Board not to pursue a sale of the Company. However, the facts tell a different story. Mr. Treger's repeated episodes of opportunism are directly contrary to the values of the Company and show a disregard of the interests of you, its shareholders.
Nor have Audley's strategies led to sustained profit making at other companies. The Audley proxy statement lists two public companies of which Mr. Treger is a director, Whetstone Minerals Ltd. and Firestone Diamonds. Since he began his tenure at Whetstone in 2011, that company's stock price has declined by 50%. Since he began his tenure at Firestone in 2012, Firestone's stock price has declined by 38%.Mr. Treger's self-interested, profit-taking focus with respect to your Company continues to this day. In its proxy statement, Audley disclosed a side agreement with another hedge fund that may entitle Audley to fees to the extent that hedge fund profits from undisclosed investments in Walter Energy stock. Audley has not disclosed the terms of its deal, so we do not know how this aligns -- or misaligns -- the interests of Audley and its nominees with other shareholders, who have no such arrangement. Robert H. Stan: Questions about insider trading charges Mr. Stan is currently defending himself against charges of insider trading, and tipping his wife so she could engage in insider trading, in the stock of a company of which he was Chairman and CEO. On December 5, 2011, the Alberta Securities Commission charged that Mr. Stan and his wife engaged in transactions in the stock and options of Grande Cache Coal Corporation at a time when they were aware that the company would fall short of its forecasted sales by almost 40%. It alleged that their transactions occurred "while they were in a special relationship with Grande Cache and with knowledge of a material fact or change with respect to Grande Cache that had not been generally disclosed," in violation of Alberta's Securities Act. On September 19, 2012, a hearing panel denied Mr. Stan's request for an order dismissing one of the allegations against him. It is our understanding that these charges remain unresolved.
It is particularly troubling that Audley has not only failed to disclose the existence of these pending charges when asking you to vote for Mr. Stan, but has specifically held him out in its proxy statement as well-suited to "assist the Board in its compliance and governance discussions and strategies."Audley's promotion of Mr. Stan has little basis, even without regard to the insider trading charges against him. Spruce Bluff Resource Ltd, of which the proxy statement describes Mr. Stan as Chairman and Director, is a small entity formed last year by Mr. Stan, in which he and his wife are the sole directors. The proxy statement also lists Mr. Stan's service on the board of directors of Whetstone Minerals Ltd. (with Mr. Treger). However, during his time on the board, the company's stock price has fallen precipitously, losing more than 97% of its value. Larry M. Clark, Jr.: Questions about lack of relevant experience Larry M. Clark's principal business experience is essentially working for a hedge fund, Harbinger Capital Partners. To the best of our knowledge, he has no substantial experience as a manager, director or leader of a coal company. The Audley proxy statement notes Mr. Clark's experience as an investor. It omits mention of his public acknowledgement that he was fired from a hedge fund job after causing accounts he managed to lose $250 million dollars in 45 minutes. It is our understanding that, during Mr. Clark's time at Harbinger, he spearheaded Harbinger's investment in African Medical Investments and served on that company's board of directors. That investment resulted in significant losses for the fund. During Mr. Clark's tenure on the board of African Medical Investments, the company's stock fell by approximately 70%. When he left Harbinger in 2011, Mr. Clark attempted to start a hedge fund, Balantrove Management, LLC. He publicly stated a goal of raising between $500 million and $1 billion. However, he was able to raise only a small fraction of that amount. Reportedly, Balantrove now has assets under management of $760,000 and currently describes itself as a "corporate advisory business catering to small and middle-market resource and energy companies."
Audley also lists Mr. Clark's service on the board of directors of Ecometals Ltd. as a qualification. However, he served on that board for only a month, from November to December 2012, at which time he did not stand for re-election. This unusually short stint as a director deserves an explanation, which the proxy statement does not provide, and is certainly not a credential establishing his Board experience.Mark H. Lochtenberg: Questions about lax corporate governance Mr. Lochtenberg's principal employment for the last eight years has been with Cockatoo Coal Limited, an Australian mining company of which he has served as managing director and, for the last year, executive chairman. Mr. Lochtenburg's testimony in litigation in Australia concerning his activities on behalf of Cockatoo Coal casts serious doubt on his qualifications in the area of corporate governance. The litigation was brought by a minority shareholder in a company, Baralaba Coal Property Ltd., in which Cockatoo owned the majority interest. Mr. Lochtenberg was one of three directors of Baralaba appointed by Cockatoo. The minority shareholder had two appointed directors. On cross-examination Mr. Lochtenberg conceded that he had assumed the title of managing director of Baralaba without being properly appointed by the board, failed to hold directors meetings for nearly a year, failed to keep minutes of the decisions made by the directors, and failed to provide operating information requested by the minority directors. He was asked, "So when you say the affairs of Baralaba are in disarray, that's only because you [and the other two Cockatoo-appointed directors] have chosen to ignore what would be basic rules of corporate governance, correct?" He responded, "Correct." A command of and commitment to sound corporate governance should be a pre-requisite to serve on your behalf on Walter Energy's Board. An individual who has admitted to ignoring the basic rules of corporate governance does not meet this standard.
In addition, the Audley proxy statement describes Cockatoo as "a publicly traded metallurgical coal producer," the same business as Walter Energy. Yet the proxy statement also claims that "Mr. Lochtenberg's other activities in the coal industry are not believed to be competitive with the business of the Company." Shareholders of Walter Energy are entitled to an explanation of the basis for this conclusion.Cockatoo Coal's share price has not performed well during Mr. Lochtenberg's tenure. Since he joined that company as one of three managing directors in January 2005, its stock price has declined by 59%. Since he became executive chairman in April 2012, it has declined by 71%. Edward Scholtz: Questions about leadership credentials The description of Mr. Scholtz's experience in the proxy contains significant inaccuracies with respect to his leadership positions. The proxy states that "Mr. Scholtz also currently serves as a director of Talon Metals Corp., a publicly traded mineral exploration company, where he serves on the audit committee." That company's website does not list Mr. Scholtz as a director or committee member, and contains a news release stating that he left the company's employ on February 9, 2012. In fact, Mr. Scholtz served as the president and CEO of Talon, but held that position for only eight months. During his brief tenure at Talon, its share price dropped by 57%. Audley also represents that Mr. Scholtz served as the "Chief Operating Officer of CIC Energy Corp., a publicly traded coal and energy company, from 2008 to 2012." That company's disclosures indicate that this, too, is incorrect. According to CIC's annual reports, another individual held the position of COO from January 2007 through December 2010. Mr. Scholtz was apparently the COO of a division of CIC, not the parent public company, during this period. Finally, Audley lists as a credential Mr. Scholtz's time as COO of Jindal Africa. Jindal purchased CIC, Mr. Scholtz's employer, in 2012. His tenure at Jindal Africa lasted only three months, after which Mr. Scholtz left the company.
WALTER ENERGY NOMINEES ARE HIGHLY CREDENTIALED AND FOCUSED ON SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATIONOver the years your Board has created long term value for all stockholders with judgment and integrity. We recognize and accept the challenge of responding to the recent and dramatic decline in met coal pricing that has affected every company in this industry. Your Board and management have taken every reasonable step to respond to that trend and to position the Company for future profitable growth as conditions improve. That work should accrue to your benefit, not that of others. Now is not the time to reverse course. Your Board has put the Company on a path to greater long-term profitability as market conditions improve. Replacing five out of nine independent members with nominees who offer no new ideas to strengthen the Company, and whose past records raise substantial doubts as to their suitability and qualifications for the Board, would not be in your best interest. We urge you to vote for the Board's nominees. We also look forward to continuing our dialogue with you. Your vote is important in this election, and we urge you to vote TODAY so that your voice is heard. To elect the Walter Energy Board's nominees, we encourage you to vote today by telephone, by Internet, or by signing and dating the enclosed WHITE proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

I have been working with small Windows 8.1 tablets, seeing how well they work with the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and the cheaper "RTL-SDR" dongles and a variety of software. So far, things have looked pretty good - as long as I don't run lots of these programs at one time. I wanted to install the FUNcube Dashboard on one of my tablets, but on the tablet's 64 Gb microSD card that appears as the D: drive in the tablet instead of the smaller C: drive in the tablet. The Dashboard installer said I had to install it to a hard drive, which in this case was limited to the C: drive. The Dashboard doesn't take up much space, but some of these tablets only come with 16 Gb internal storage for the C: drive.
The Dashboard software runs well on my tablets:
1. WinBook TW800 8-inch tablet - 1 Gb RAM, 16 Gb internal storage (C: drive), 64 Gb microSD card (D: drive) - USD 79 for tablet
2. WinBook TW100 10.1-inch tablet - 2 Gb RAM, 32 Gb internal storage (C: drive), 64 Gb microSD card (D: drive) - USD 179 for tablet
Both tablets have a quad-core 64-bit Intel Atom CPU, but they run a 32-bit version of "Windows 8.1 with Bing" - a form of Windows 8.1 optimized for tablets and smaller PCs, provided by Microsoft at no cost to manufacturers. These tablets also have a USB 3.0 socket, a micro-USB socket (intended to charge the tablet, but can also be a USB 2.0 socket with a USB On-The-Go cable), a micro-HDMI socket, WiFi (2.4 GHz only), and Bluetooth. WinBook is a private label from a chain of computer stores in some parts of the USA, MicroCenter.
I have been using these tablets and dongles to receive different signals, and have had fun with them. For working amateur satellites, the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and HDSDR are a nice combination as a downlink receiver on these tablets. I normally use two FT-817NDs when working AO-73's transponder (among other satellites), but have been making use of these tablets with a FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and HDSDR instead of one 817 as the downlink receiver. An article about my experiences using the dongles and small tablets will appear in the March/April 2015 issue of the AMSAT Journal.
To get back on topic... is it possible that future versions of the FUNcube Dashboard lift the restriction on where it can be installed on a PC/tablet? As long as the destination has sufficient space to hold the installed program, it seems like this restriction is one that could be removed.
Thanks, and 73!

SWAB Team 6 (Special Wounds And Bandages) are still in training and hope to be operational soon.
Like all good things in society the SWABSTERS (unofficial name for members) have been brought to the attention of the Equality & Diversity brigade. In essence E & D is a good thing…it just seems that sometimes they try and fit a square peg into a round hole with out thinking it through!
And so it is that recently SWAB Team 6 had to take on people with differing issues. The Training Wing tried their hardest to make it work but alas…..
….the Guide dogs did not take too kindly to the training. And the RSPCA had some reservations also!
Please note that no animals were harmed in the making of this post and that no slur was intended against people with eyesight issues…..Mordecai MaNab, SWAB Team 6 Skipper.

No way I'm stopping my kitelooping, its the most fun. Just not boosting so hard for'em, you know?
Hope you get well soon!
yeah, the harness inquestion was an XL, which i fit into pretty well last year. Lost some weight and now its too big.Dr Cool wrote:

how many sore/broken ribs would that avoid
one more thing: belts are cool but a seat prevent this perfectly
when I have sore ribs i use an old seat harness and it does the job

Four times as in four divisions. Twice-divided works in the sense of divided on two occasions, but in that sense the line is still divided three times: the whole line is divided, then each of the divisions is divided again. That's three divisions, producing a line with four divisions.
English clearly has some issues with ambiguity here.

West Cornwall and beyond
West Cornwall is a land of beauty, drama, pre-historic sites, top surfing spots, sandy beaches, fabulous gardens and mile upon mile of cliff walks. Add in the cultural magnets of Tate St Ives, the Penlee Art Gallery in Penzance and the open-air Minack Theatre and you have some compelling reasons to visit.
The iconic destination of St Michael's Mount is just across the water from the Godolphin Arms - a short boat trip away or, when the tide opens and reveals the historic causeway, you can walk across to the island. The team at the Godolphin Arms have all the information and a few insider tips to make the most of your time in West Cornwall. Please just ask.
An historic, chartered town, Marazion today is a lively place with an active community and a plethora of cafes, pubs and art galleries, as well as a local store, post office and deli. The South West Coastal Path runs through the town and the RSPB nature reserve is home to Cornwall's largest reed bed and an abundance of plants and birds.
If you want to plan a few day trips, the Isles of Scilly could be one idea, leaving either from Land's End Airport or Penzance docks. The Eden Project is about one hour away and the Maritime Museum in Falmouth is well worth the 45 minute journey. If you prefer to ditch the car, the team have all the information on bus routes, bicycle hire and train times.

The new "dashboard" emphasizes the strategic thinking that dairy farmers need to consider during each calendar year sign-up decision.
By John Newton, Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois
The 2014 Farm Bill provides the most comprehensive reform to the U.S. federal dairy farm safety net seen in decades. In place of milk price and revenue support programs, the new farm bill creates a Margin Protection Program for Dairy Producers (MPP-Dairy). MPP-Dairy is specifically designed to be simple to use and appealing to all dairy producers, regardless of management style or business model.
First, it provides dairy producers the opportunity to annually self-select coverage levels to protect against declines in national, rather than farm-level, income-over-feed-cost margins. Second, the premium rates are fixed at predetermined levels explicitly written into the farm bill. Finally, farms of all sizes can purchase margin protection near their historical maximum levels of milk production. For a detailed discussion of the specific dairy title provisions of the new 2014 farm bill, see here.
In today's post, I will introduce an interactive dashboard demonstrating the features of the Margin Protection Program. The MPP-Dairy dashboard is fully interactive and functions on Internet browsers supporting Adobe Flash and Shockwave players. MPP-Dairy dashboard users may adjust key decision variables, such as the coverage year (using 2000-2013 data), coverage level, coverage percentage, and production history to illustrate how the program is designed to perform.
Understanding how MPP-Dairy is designed to work as a risk management tool in different milk and feed price environments is important because MPP-Dairy choices are not five-year decisions. Rather, dairy farmers can change their coverage options each calendar year. Given that there are nine coverage levels and 14 coverage percentage options, each year a participating dairy operation may choose from as many as 126 coverage combinations. As a result, this MPP-Dairy dashboard emphasizes the strategic thinking that needs to occur during each calendar year decision.
For side-by-side comparisons, additional dashboards may be opened in a separate browser window by clicking here.
