Your leadership development program needs an overhaul
Companies make big investments in leadership. In our experience, this traditional approach to leadership development doesn't serve the needs of companies anymore. Business is moving too fast.
How one clothing company blends AI and human expertise
Stitch Fix, an online clothing retailer, provides a glimpse into how some businesses are already making use of AI-based machine learning to partner with employees. This company's success story is about how AI and people work together, with each side focused on its unique strengths.
How artificial intelligence will redefine management
Many alarms have sounded on the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to upend the workforce, especially for easy-to-automate jobs. But managers at all levels will have to adapt to the world of smart machines.
At Haier and Lenovo, Chinese-style open innovation
As emerging technologies follow a path of accelerating improvements in price and performance, the potential for significant business disruption from outside the familiar world of traditional competitors increases. As a hedge against unpredictable competition, many large companies are embracing a new approach to research and development known as "open innovation."
Business processes are learning to hack themselves.
Although today's factories use automated workflows, process change is still mostly manual. However, thanks to machine learning algorithms things are changing rapidly. It's becoming possible for smart software to scrutinize data from a variety of sources and redesign processes in real time.
What can Latin America's leaders do to make the region more innovative?
History shows that a crisis is often the catalyst of rapid innovation. Well, pick your crisis in Latin America today. Economic? Political? Productivity? Skills? Digital disruption?
None of Latin America's countries fare well in the latest Global Innovation Index. In the 141-country ranking, most Latin American nations are clustered around the 60s and 70s.
MIT Sloan Management Review
Sales gets a machine-learning makeover
One of the most human of business activities—sales—is currently undergoing a digital renaissance. Social media, website interactions and A/B tests are providing much more sales-centric data than ever before. To help make sense of all the available data and to improve sales effectiveness and efficiency, organizations are turning to machine learning. Smart machines are becoming trusted sidekicks in sales departments as they make opaque processes more transparent, provide analysis to inform decision making, and offload low-value tasks.
Rotman Management Review
Digital shoring: A path to faster innovation
Modern organizations are under pressure to innovate faster than ever and leaders are realizing that going it alone won't get the job done. Instead, they are seeking to accelerate innovation by collaborating beyond their own boundaries.
Harvard Business Review
A Hands-Off Approach to Open Innovation Doesn't Work
Winning in business is often a matter of getting new offerings to market at speed. But in their efforts to collaborate with new partners, many companies are experiencing difficulty maintaining the necessary pace.
The challenges of big firm—small firm collaboration are considerable: Different cultures, Different attitudes about sharing intellectual property, Different concerns about risk sharing, and others. So it's no simple task to meet the strategic objectives of such partnerships.
Harvard Business Review
How Companies Are Using Machine Learning to Get Faster and More Efficient
Machine-reengineering is a way to automate business processes using machine learning. Although machine-reengineering is new, companies are already seeing striking results with it, particularly in boosts to speed and efficiency.
Our study found that organizations are using machine-reengineering to establish new forms of human-machine collaboration that break through the bottlenecks of complex digital processes. In some cases, such as interpreting images or writing reports, machine-reengineering directly helps workers perform digital tasks. In other cases, machine-reengineering helps people uncover insights that are buried in a mountain of data.

Tips on open-innovation pacts for tech start-ups
Big companies across sectors are stepping up open-innovation collaborations with small high-tech ones across the world.
A recent Accenture survey of executives at 205 large companies and 201 small high-tech firms based in China, India and the US disclosed key reasons for this growing camaraderie between the Davids and the Goliaths. As much as 92 percent of our survey respondents from the big companies said they believe that open innovation with small high-tech firms helps them accelerate new product development.
Harvard Business Review
Companies Are Reimagining Business Processes with Algorithms
Powerful machine-learning algorithms that adapt through experience and evolve in intelligence with exposure to data are driving changes in businesses that would have been impossible to imagine just five years ago. The PCs and databases introduced during the reengineering of the 90s have grown up: the rules-based codes written by engineers are giving way to learning algorithms driven by the machines themselves. As a result, business processes are being machine-reengineered.
The Five Most Disruptive Innovations at CES 2016
Big Bang Disruption authors Paul Nunes and Larry Downes pick the most disruptive innovations at CES 2016 and reflect on whole categories of technologies that, only a few years ago, took their first baby steps at CES and are now occupying entire floors of the show.
As the price and performance of these innovations improve, the number of experimenters proliferates, setting the stage for the often sudden mass adoption that is characteristic of Big Bang market development.
Seven Essential Questions about Big Bang Disruption
Business academic Clayton M. Christensen's article in the latest issue of Harvard Business Review tries to turn back the clock on the concept of "disruptive innovation"—back to Christensen's original definition of a product or service that offers poorer performance than existing goods but which uses new technology that will eventually overcome that of today's incumbents. But since Christensen's original research in the 1990's, the nature of technological innovation has changed.
We don't believe Christensen's theory is wrong, but it's only part of the story.
Chief Learning Officer
Machines Will Change How Companies Learn
Robotics and other digital innovations are changing how organizations learn. Companies are challenged by changing roles and learning the new skills required in an increasingly digital world. Even as business leaders signal the importance of talent to the overall success of an organization's digital journey, they express concerns about talent readiness. In an Accenture Strategy survey, 44 percent of business leaders reported "lack of skills" as a key barrier to digital transformation.
Harvard Business Review
What Is a Robot, Anyway?
Finding an all-encompassing definition of a robot is actually a difficult problem, even for world-class roboticists. Form-factors, intelligence, and the purpose of robots can all vary significantly. And yet many of us think we know a robot when we see one. How is this so?
Wall Street Journal
Say Goodbye to the Screen
For decades, screens have been the center of our information world—first with computers and more recently with smartphones and tablets.
But the objects now being embedded with computing power and Internet connectivity don't all lend themselves to screens and the result will be a host of new screen-free interfaces, driven by voice commands, gesture controls, or simply automated responses to sensor data.
European Business Review
Solving Marketing's Inventory Crisis
Just like physical inventory risks spoiling or becoming obsolete while stacked in a warehouse, excess marketing inventory—product information and vague brand preferences that sit in customers' minds—yields few long-term returns.
Marketing organizations can get their surplus production problems under control by embracing just-in-time marketing—a similar approach to just-in-time manufacturing adopted shortly after World War ll. This new way of manufacturing saved companies from drowning in excess inventory as they attempted to capture the benefits of scale while serving too few customers.
Stanford Social Innovation Review
The Internet of Things is Now a Thing
The Internet of Things is attracting attention as a new force for growth in some of the world's poorest countries.
While on the surface of it, a model that uses networks of internet-enabled devices might seem to have limited applicability to the world's least-developed economies, many elements of the IoT model, such as cheap sensors and wireless technologies, are well suited to conditions in poor countries.
Moreover, the IoT can boost productivity and compensate for poor infrastructure, a barrier to growth in many developing countries.
Talent Management
Giving Digital the Human Touch
As is often the case in science-fiction plotlines, it's unlikely machines will ever spell the fall of mankind. It's quite possible however, they will enhance and extend the human touch by augmenting our brains and brawn, not replacing them.
Things like virtual sensors, analytics, advanced robotic devices, developments in artificial intelligence, automated virtual assistants, 3-D printers, wearable devices, collaboration software and gaming capabilities have the potential to reshape work practices like never before. Digital technology also makes it so that work can be done from a distance and creates a new level of flexibility on where and how it is done. In this way digital amplifies human capability but does not eliminate the human touch.
European Business Review
India's Lessons for Creating a Digital Business
As India rapidly moves into the digital era, leading Indian businesses are changing their business models to capture the opportunity.
In a recent Accenture survey of more than 100 Indian senior executives, nine out of ten said "being digital" is a strategic imperative for their companies over the next five years.
That sense of awareness, however, has not necessarily translated into the right strategic focus. Many companies are concentrating on process efficiency but are missing out on real growth. This means developing closer connections with customers and offering new products and services by digitalizing their business models.
Harvard Business Review
Gestures Will Be the Interface for the Internet of Things
The human body interacts with the physical world in subtle and sophisticated ways. But today's technology can sometimes feel like it's out of sync with our senses as we peer at small screens, flick and pinch fingers across smooth surfaces, and read tweets "written" by programmer-created bots. These new technologies can increasingly make us feel disembodied.
As people and companies prepare to adapt to the Internet of Things (IoT), with its ever-widening focus on machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, it's a good time to ask where people will fit in.
Managing Director
"Today's offerings are both better and cheaper right from the start thanks to digital technology, causing Big Bang Disruption in every industry, and putting digital transformation at the top of every company's strategic agenda."
Managing Director of Information Technology and Business Research
"You want insight on how IT impacts the enterprise and organization? Ask the people using it. Ask them how it's improving the way they work and make decisions. Researching digital technology isn't an abstract exercise but begins with grounded questions around what makes people better and their contributions more valuable."
Managing Director of Innovation Research as well as for India and China Research
"Openness @ innovation and mitigation of risk is going to define growth trajectories of corporations and governments."
Managing Director of Policy Research
"Digital technology is disrupting every industry, creating markets that are larger, more contestable and more competitive. Only with breakthrough innovation will businesses, governments and the social sector be able to deliver and sustain the benefits of digital transformation."
Managing Director and Chief Economist
"New technologies, globalization and aging populations are changing what it means for nations and businesses to be competitive in the 21st Century. The advantage will fall to those who can creatively seize these shifts for economic renewal and growth."
Thought Leadership Research Principal Director
"We have an obligation to think big; to explore and inform. Providing evidence-based insights and prescriptions to business leaders, policy makers and civil society is our best chance of generating real socio-economic progress for all."
Thought Leadership Research Principal Director
"Clear writing is the product of clear thinking. We work from the very start to get the ideas right—to ensure they are differentiated, powerful, and practical—and only then do we start writing, revising, revising again, and finally editing."

—Through December 6: "Emerging Artist Series #8: Danielle Adair—On the Rocks, in the Land."

By highlighting these sites, the exhibition explores the notion of play as a persistent and ethical form of resistance in relation to the physicality of a wall as defined by these specific locations. Although exploring the intersection of place, politics and play in these sites, the project resists the urge to enforce a dominant narrative, seeking instead to excavate unfamiliar forms of resistance and protest.

—Through December 5: "Glyphs: Acts of Inscription" builds on the premise that identities are constituted through acts of inscription—real or imagined—into the visual archives that constitute history, popular iconographies and artistic canons. The exhibition explores the consequences of such acts on the poetic and political dimensions of representation, difference and visibility. Working in photography, moving image and mixed-media, the artists cannibalize and query such archives to create new image repertoires that point to the lacunae—the silences, absences and erasures—contained within prevalent visual-historical renderings. These critical interventions challenge existing discourses, destabilizing the deeply ambiguous and often surreal taxonomies of "raced, sexed and gendered" representation. Marking the 50th anniversary of the death of W.E.B. Du Bois, "Glyphs" presents a slideshow projection of "The Paris Albums 1900," a series of portraits originally commissioned by the renowned African American sociologist, activist and scholar's groundbreaking "American Negro Exhibit" for the 1900 Paris World Exposition. Du Bois' quintessential counter-archive is positioned in dialogue with those created by the contemporary artists in "Glyphs."

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's swimming teams split their meet with host University of New England at the UNE Campus Center Pool Saturday. The women lost, 144-118, while the men defeated UNE's club team, 185-56.
For the women, senior Kathleen Foley (Haverhill, MA/Haverhill HS) won a pair of events -- the 200-yard individual medley (2:26.96) and the 200-yard butterfly (2:36.63). Freshman Maggie Conlon (Methuen, MA/Methuen HS) was victorious in the 200-yard backstroke (2:25.12), freshman Morgan Cooper (Sunderland, MA/Frontier Regional HS) in the 200-yard freestyle (2:06.50), and sophomore Kimberly Moore (Billerica, MA/Billerica HS) won the 1000-yard freestyle (11:48.70).
For the men, the team of sophomore Tom Silva (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS), junior Steve Szarek (Middletown, CT/Middletown HS), junior David Adams (Tyngsboro, MA/Tyngsboro HS) and junior Andrew Haughey (West Springfield, MA/West Springfield HS) won the 200 yard medley relay in 1:48.61, freshman Jake Pesante (Wakefield, RI/South Kingston HS) won the 1000 yard freestyle in 11:34.85 and the 500 yard freestyle in 5:25.58, freshman Chris Dodge (Holden, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) won the 100 yard backstroke in 1:02.43 and the 200 yard backstroke in 2:20.05, Szarek won the 100 yard breaststroke in 1:07.33, the 200 yard individual medley in 2:18.47, and the 200 yard breaststroke in 2:28.35, junior Joe Krzystofik (Chicopee, MA/Chicopee HS) won the 200 yard butterfly in 2:19.24, David Adams won the 40 yard freestyle in 24.31 and the 100 yard butterfly in 1:00.30, and the team of Silva, freshman Matt Dean (Londonderry, NH/Londonderry HS), David Adams and Haughey won the 200 yard freestyle relay in 1:38.10.
"We had several people who were ill, but our team really stepped up as a whole," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "We hope to get our first win at Bridgewater Tuesday."
The Corsair women are now 0-2, while the men's record remained at 0-1, since UNE's men's team is a club team and the result does not count in their overall record. The Corsairs will return to action when they host the UMass Dartmouth Invitational next Saturday.

Biotechnology Online Application
As part of the eGovernment initiative, APHIS now makes available the ePermits online system for biotechnology permits and notifications. ePermits is an internet-based tool that allows users to submit permit applications, receive notifications of expirations, and access options for renewal. APHIS' BRS continues to offer both a manual process and the online ePermits system to our users. We encourage you to take advantage of the ePermits option. This will help to expedite the entire permitting process and enable users to track the status of their permits, confirm receipt, and easily renew existing permits.
In addition to the ease of applying online, the ePermits system has other time-saving features, such as an individual ePermits workspace, tools to help generate new applications from previous submissions and to create Confidential Business Information (CBI)-deleted versions of an application, and the ability to add attachments to permit applications.
Users are required to sign up for an eAuthentication account to access ePermits; however, once you receive your eAuth id and password, it provides a centralized authentication service for all web-based services across the federal government. Applicants must have Level 2 access, which requires independent verification of their identity and can be obtained through the eAuthentication process. However, as an interim measure to aid BRS applicants in taking advantage of this system, BRS is allowing applicants to submit applications through ePermits with only Level 1 access, which is available immediately upon completing the on-line application. To obtain either Level 1 or Level 2 access, please visit: http://www.eauth.egov.usda.gov/eauthWhatIsAccount.html . Until Level 2 access is acquired, applicants must print their submitted application and mail a signed and dated copy to BRS.

Adopt a Bald Eagle
Bald eagles call the entire North American continent above Mexico their range. You are likely to see an eagle near a large body of water with nearby old growth forests. The largest populations are in Alaska during the late fall and the Mississippi Valley in the winter. Bald eagles are large raptors unique to North America and prefer to eat fish, but also feed on small mammals and waterfowl. During the 1970's, bald eagles were added to the Endangered Species list after their population was devastated by the effects of pollution. Pesticides, such as DDT, built up in the food chain and collected in top predators like the bald eagle. Thanks to the work of scientists, activists and writers, such as Rachel Carson, bans were placed on dangerous pesticides and the bald eagle was able to make a strong recovery. It was recently taken off the Endangered Species list. Help NWF in its efforts to protect and recover the wild places that sustain wildlife. Adopt a bald eagle today!

ALBION, Mich. - The Adrian College football team (8-1, 6-0) defeated Albion College (6-3, 3-2), 20-19, in overtime at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium on Saturday afternoon clinching their first outright MIAA title since 1983 and advancing to the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time since 1988. The last time Adrian had at least a share of the conference title was during the 1997 season.
"I am so proud of our team and how they have faced adversity all season long," said a jubilant head coach Jim Deere. "I started three years ago and promised that either we would win a conference title or I would resign. Thank goodness the first part of that statement came true. Even today we were up 10 points at halftime and had to battle back into overtime. Our defense came up big in the biggest moment of the season on that two-point try. It looked like the hole was there and then the door shut. I can't describe how special this is for me, my staff and the players. The last appearance in the playoffs was my last game here at Adrian. It is just a very emotional win."
Adrian set the tone early as they took the opening kick and moved into the end zone.Dae'Von Robinson took a handout and raced 48 yards for his longest run of the season to give Adrian a 7-0 lead at the 12:33 mark. Adrian's trademark defense limited the Britons to just 13 yards in the first quarter and led 7-0 after 15 minutes.
Albion cut into the lead on their first drive of the second quarter. Darrin Williams and Colin Parks carried the ball downfield marching 63 yards in 15 play. The Adrian defense did not break however as Jimmy Nieman booted a 29-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 4:04 left until halftime.
Adrian increased their lead to 13-3 before intermission as they drove 49 yards in just one play as Taylor Copacia completed a touchdown pass to Justin Hemm and an out-and-up move down the home sideline. Hemm had an unbelieveable game for the Bulldogs finishing with 13 catches for 210 yards and two scores. In the process, Hemm set the single-season school record for receiving yards (1,006) becoming the first 1,000-yard receiver in school history.
"I felt like this was our game and as a senior wanted to go home with not only a championship but a win over Albion for the first time since I arrived here," commented Hemm. "To win this thing on the road the way we did it is just storybook. We have another big game at Huntingdon next week so we need to enjoy this tonight and get back to work. I also wanted to get this done for coach Deere and his staff. They are great people and deserve a lot of credit."
The momentum began to swing in favor of the Britons in the third quarter. On Adrian's first possession of the second half, Danny Cobb caught a screen pass and had the ball stripped from him by Mike Vandermus inside the Bulldog 20-yard line. Vandermus raced down to the Adrian three-yard line setting up a one-yard touchdown run by Williams for Albion.
The Adrian offense drove the ball to the Albion 29-yard line midway through the third but failed to convert a pass play on fourth-and-one giving the ball over to Albion. That was the best scoring chance for either team until early in the fourth quarter. Albion grinded out a 10-play, 40-yard drive which lasted 4:56 before Nieman kicked a game-tying 39-yard field goal which barely got over the crossbar.
Adrian had a chance to take the lead with 5:30 left in the game but Ben Klaver missed a 42-yard field goal into a breeze short and to the left after an 11-play, 39-yard drive. Adrian had one last drive before the end of regulation as Dustin Salliotte attempted a 45-yard field goal which was short. Albion was flagged for running into the kicker but Adrian was also flagged for a 15-yard foul which pushed the ball back to the Adrian 38-yard line. The Bulldogs elected to punt down to the Albion one-yard line with 42 seconds remaining. Albion ran a three-yard sneak by Dominic Bona and time expired with a 13-13 deadlock.
Adrian and Albion went into overtime for just the second time in the series history (2005) with the tension building for both teams. Albion won the toss and elected to play defense first. The Bulldogs marched 25 yards in just three plays as Hemm caught an eight-yard touchdown in the back corner of the end zone to give Adrian a 20-13 lead after the Salliotte extra point. Albion took over needed seven points to continue the game and Williams carried 20 yards to the Adrian five-yard line on the first play and then plunged over left end into the end zone on the second play to get the Britons within 20-19. On the scoring play, Adrian was flagged for a facemask moving the ball to the one and a half yard line. Albion rolled the dice and went on two. Bona took the carry up the middle and was stopped inches short of the goal line by a host of Bulldogs. The team rushed the field in one of the most dramatic games in school history.
"Our defense has been so good all season and when we needed a stop we got it," said defensive lineman Aaron Gray. "I believed in our guys up front and that penalty actually played in our favor. Albion played us very tough but in the end we made the plays and are going to the playoffs."
Albion became the first conference team this season to rush for over 100 yards with 124 yards on 38 carries (3.3 ypr). Adrian gained just 53 yards on the ground well below their season average. The Bulldogs outgained the Britons, 322-164, as the defense once again had a stellar outing. Copacia completed 22-of-32 for 269 yards and two scores with no interceptions. Adrian needed a clean game and turned it over just once. Robinson carried 20 times for 89 yards to lead the Bulldogs.
Charles Fleck had a career-high 12 tackles from his safety spot for Adrian. The Bulldogs recorded five tackles for loss and had five pass breakups. Adrian concludes its regular season next Saturday at Huntingdon (Ala.) and will then await their playoff opponent. That game will take place on Saturday, Nov. 17.

Skorgrím Dourhand
|Skorgrím Dourhand is a concept which has only appeared in an adaptation of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
|Skorgrím Dourhand
|Physical Description
|Images of Skorgrím Dourhand
Skorgrím Dourhand is a Dwarf of the Dourhand clan created specifically for The Lord of the Rings Online.
Skorgrím Dourhand is descended from ancient dwarf-lords who ruled one of the great kingdoms of the Blue Mountains, a realm that has long since fallen into ruin. His people became scattered and declined in number, but poverty and dishonour bred within them a great greed and lust for power. When the Elves of Mithlond founded the refuge of Edhelion, in the Blue Mountains, Skorgrím sought to rob them of their relics and treasures. He rallied the remnants of his people and laid siege to Edhelion. Worse yet, he had paid Goblins and Trolls to assist him, something of which no honourable Dwarf would conceive. His evil ways brought him to ruin, though Edhelion was also lost.[1]
Six hundred years later, a Gaunt-lord, a vile necromancer from the First Age, summoned a fell spirit which entered the preserved corpse of Skorgrím and raised it as a wight. The dark realm of Angmar used this creature to turn the Dourhands entirely to evil, leading them to believe that the creature was indeed Skorgrím reborn, to lead them to wealth and glory. Now the Dourhands serve Angmar, under the rule of the creature they know as Skorgrím.[2]

This article first appeared in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
Israeli defense contractor Rafael has validated the David's Sling missile-defense system in an intercept test, when it scored a direct hit on a target vehicle simulating a medium-range rocket.
David's Sling was developed by Israel. Rafael is the prime contractor and development authority, and Raytheon the leading subcontractor and U.S. program lead. The system is an endo-atmospheric weapon, targeting ballistic missiles and medium-range rockets, manned and unmanned aircraft, cruise missiles and guided weapons. An air-launched version is under study.
The Nov. 22 test covered a large area of the Negev desert, to test the weapon's long-range capability. The initial David's Sling unit stands up this year under the Israeli air force's active defense branch. Initial operational capability is slated for 2014.
A test video released by the defense ministry shows the intercept phases. In the first stage the target rocket is launched. The David's Sling multimission radar (MMR) detects the launch and tracks the rocket as it ascends over the horizon. Once the trajectory is determined, the battle management and control (BMC) system calculates the intercept point and orders the fire unit to launch an interceptor. In this intermediate phase the two missiles fly toward each other, with the Stunner intercept missile, developed by Raytheon and Rafael, accelerating rapidly. Upon locating the target with its two seeking sensors (one electro-optic, the other radio frequency), Stunner enters the final intercept course and strikes the target.
The David's Sling system incorporates powerful MMR, BMC and fire units. The Stunner missile is fired from a 12-pack launcher with the aid of a short-burn droppable booster. A multiband seeker (incorporating radar and imaging infrared sensors) optimizes interception under all engagement conditions, including adverse weather and countermeasures. The missile has no warhead, and uses an enhanced hit-to-kill (HTK) mechanism to destroy missiles and maneuvering aircraft. The weapon is designed for maneuverability and speed, and has target-change flexibility.
The Stunner has a unique "dolphin-nose" front section which allows both the radar and IR seeker to look forward and a three-pulse motor. The first two motor pulses accelerate the missile through its midcourse trajectory, where it maintains course to a location and then activates the seeker to acquire the incoming missile. Upon target detection, the missile determines the intercept course, as the third rocket pulse activates to increase speed and maximize kinetic energy on impact.
The missile can change course automatically or by command. The weapon is aerodynamically controlled without thrust vectoring. Two sets of four movable wings are controlled by servo systems fore and aft of the missile motor and driven by commands from the guidance electronic unit in the front section. (A third, fixed set of wings act as flow control vanes for the aft wings.) A data link receives target updates and commands from the ground.
Researchers used the Missile Defense Testbed and other engagement analysis software to simulate a hypothetical threat from a country possessing long- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles to demonstrate benefits of the Stunner. According to the assessment, a ballistic strike force comprising 600 Scud-type missiles and 200 long-range missiles, fired from 60-70 mobile launchers, could in minutes launch tens of missiles in rapid succession. Many would target critical assets, with the impact points of others uncertain, thus requiring complex threat-killing strategies.
Two defensive strategies were compared. In one, an investment of $1 billion in current missiles (e.g., MIM-104C Patriot missiles, upgraded MIM-23B Hawks and the Arrow II), each worth around $4 million, would result in 250 interceptors. To intercept the threats, defenders would need to launch at least 60 missiles, expending almost 25% of assets, against an estimated 10% of enemy inventory. With this strategy, a defensive shield would be gone after four attacks.
In contrast, by deploying David's Sling or a mix of David's Sling and existing interceptors, that same $1 billion would procure 600 Stunner interceptors, each costing less than $1 million, and 100 costlier missiles, which would be saved for special purposes. In this scenario, less than 10% of the defensive shield would be used to repel the threat (10 of the costlier missiles and 50 Stunners) and defenses would be maintained until the attacker runs out of missiles.
David's Sling will be integrated into a multilayered national defense system, receiving constant situational awareness and target updates from sensors and other assets, such as the Arrow Weapon Systems' Green Pine radar, national airspace control system and elevated sensor systems.
The Stunner is designed to be the basis for a next-generation air-to-air missile by removing the launch booster stage.

The Ferrari Works in an exhibition in Maranello
Maranello, 4th March – The Museo Ferrari presents "La cittadella Ferrari – Architettura a misura d'uomo", the new exhibition, which takes the visitors to the heart of the works in Maranello, widening the museum's already rich exposition. An occasion not to be missed by the fans of the Prancing Horse, who can virtually enter the works through the legendary gate in via Abetone Inferiore, where, in the year 1947, the first Ferrari, the 125 S, left the premises. The exhibition, presented as a preview on the occasion of "Urban Promo" in Venice, officially opens at the Museo Ferrari.
The reconstruction of the internal structure of Viale Enzo Ferrari and the streets dedicated to great F1 Champions leads the visitors along a way with the most important names in international architecture. It starts with the works' evolution over six decades, from 1947 until today, arriving at Ferrari's reality today with images, videos and models. Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Marco Visconti, Massimiliano Fuksas and Luigi Sturchio contributed to the creation of an organic architectural complex, which today consists of individual spaces, but which are at the same time connected by a single generative intention.
The trait d'union of this urbanistical, architectonical parcours is the Formula Uomo project, with an entire exhibition room. Formula Uomo is the philosophy, which governs life and processes at Ferrari, with the individual person, the centre of the company's renewal, in the centre of all activities. Formula Uomo also finds its expression in a series of services dedicated to the individual person (free medical visits for the whole family, school books for the employees' children, a gym and special loans, to name just a few) and the working environment of excellence, with quality of life of the employed people in its centre. Luminosity, climatisation, low environmental impact, safety, noise control, restaurant areas and real gardens also inside the halls are fundamental characteristics, which helped Ferrari – regarding aesthetics, functionality of the spaces and envinronmental quality – to be recently awarded the Best Place to Work in Europe prize.
Suggestive aesthetics in harmony with the environment, not only on an urbanistic level, but also and above all respecting it. In fact Ferrari entirely produces its cars at one plant, employing renewable resources, a solar-power plant and a Trigeneration plant, which can also seen at the exhibition. Thanks to this the manufacturer from Maranello is energy self-sufficient and lowered its CO2 emissions by 40%.
The Museo Ferrari, inaugurated in the year 1989, is the custodian of Ferrari's legend, presenting cars, images and trophies from the history of the Prancing Horse's over 60 years of success. In 2010 the museum broke its own record with over 225,000 visitors from all over the world. The collection includes the first Ferrari, the 1947 125 S, and significant historical cars, but also more recent competition and Granturismo models, such as the 458 Italia. Furthermore at the museum visitors can find Enzo Ferrari's office with original objects and furniture.

O'Hara Hall, the multifaceted athletic building in the southeast corner of the Academy, is named for Edwin J. O'Hara. O'Hara was the second Midshipmen to receive the Distinguished Service Medal, the Merchant Marine's highest honor, and the first to give his life while earning it.
O'Hara, an 18-year old Californian, was assigned to the Liberty ship Stephen Hopkins. The Stephen Hopkins was alone and traveling westbound in the South Atlantic in September, 1942, when it encountered two German commerce raiders. Though the Hopkins carried only one four-inch gun and other light armament, its crew decided to fight rather than to surrender. With his ship aflame and near sinking and with the rest of the crew killed, O'Hara began single-handedly loading and firing the ship's remaining shells. Astoundingly, O'Hara scored hits on both enemy ships, sinking one and damaging the other. When the Hopkins finally sank, O'Hara went down with her. O'Hara's medal was presented to his mother on March 15, 1943. One year later, and a dedication day was held in the building which would bear his name.
O'Hara Hall serves as the home arena for the men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's volleyball, and wrestling teams. Physical education classes are also conducted in O'Hara Hall with a row of offices on the west end of the building accommodating the physical education and athletic department staffs. Construction in the late 1970's added a swimming and diving facility, wrestling room, lockerrooms, and racquetball courts. Recently, the lobby was refaced along with necessary construction to the front of the building to aid in O'Hara Hall's handicap accessibility.
Also located in O'Hara Hall is the Thomas J. Hughes and Robert J. Lavinia Conference Room, donated by the two Alumni, for Physical Education and Athletic Department meetings and conferences. Located downstairs is the team media room, locker rooms, and equipment room. In addition, O'Hara Hall is home to the Kings Point Athletic Hall of Fame and the Blue and Gray Fitness Center.
On Wednesday, October 10, 1990, O'Hara Hall took on a new look when the gymnasium was dedicated to Captain James Walter Liebertz, Director of Athletics at Kings Point from 1950-1972. Liebertz began his Kings Point career as head coach of the track and field team in 1945. Two months later, he became an Assistant Athletic Director, and on January 1, 1950, Liebertz was named Director of Athletics, a position he held for over 22 years. As the Kings Point Director of Athletics, Liebertz was responsible for increasing the varsity athletic program from five sports to 16 varsity teams. He fought for and saw the split sea year program implemented and also began the tradition of the Annual Varsity Awards Dinner. In December of 2017, the gym floor received it's first ever face-lift. For more information on the new gym floor, click here.
The football, soccer, and lacrosse field, set inside the Academy's newly surfaced eight lane track, is named for the first Superintendent of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Captain James Harvey Tomb. His background features the successful blend of two maritime careers; 27 years as a naval officer and 15 years as an educator of Merchant Marine Midshipmen.
An Annapolis graduate and expert marksman, Captain Tomb had a distinguished naval career that included command of the former coastal liner Aroostook during the laying of the 'North Sea Mine Barrage,' which bottled up the German fleet in World War I. Retiring from service in 1925, he was named head of the New York State Nautical School.
As a member of the 1930 Committee on Training of Merchant Marine Officer Personnel, he strongly supported the need for a national shoreside training facility. In 1939, when the U.S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps was searching for an Atlantic Coast location, he allowed the cadets to stay temporarily at his New York Merchant Marine Academy at Fort Schuyler in the Bronx.
In the summer of 2000, Tomb Field received a "face-lift" with the installation of FieldTurf's state-of-the-art synthetic system. While most turf systems are simply a carpet with an underpadding, FieldTurf is a synthetic turf designed to create an artificial surface that duplicates the conditions of real grass. This surface looks like grass, feels like grass, and plays like grass. The turf is nonabrasive and allows athletes to slide, pivot, and twist their cleats in the surface.
Adjacent to Upper and Lower Roosevelt Fields stands Brooks Field House. The Field House contains a fully-equipped athletic training facility and the football and baseball lockerrooms. Officially, Brooks Field House was dedicated on May 1, 1996 before nearly 125 Kings Pointers. Jack Brooks '44 made possible the full interior renovation of the Field House through an endowment gift to the Athletic Association. Brooks, a native of San Francisco, graduated from the San Mateo, CA Cadet School, a pre-Academy training facility, in 1944 prior to going to sea. He currently is a successful marine engineer, real estate developer, lawyer, and part owner of the NFL's Oakland Raiders.
Pre- and post-game treatments, as well as pre-game taping, are performed here. All physical therapy for these teams are done here and all post-operative rehabilitation is done in this athletic training room.
The Brooks field house athletic training room is the satellite facility for men's soccer and baseball teams. This facility has separate treatment, hydrotherapy, rehabilitation, and taping areas. The treatment area is equipped with an electrotherapy unit, two ultrasound units, compression unit and a hydrocollator. Two whirlpools and an ice machine are located in the hydrotherapy room. Pre- and post-game treatments, as well as pre-game taping, are performed here. All post operative rehabilitation is done in the O'Hara athletic training room.

Liquidity Ratios and QuickBooks 2014
You can calculate and track liquidity ratios in QuickBooks. Liquidity ratios measure how easily and comfortably a firm can pay its immediate financial obligations and exploit immediate short-term financial opportunities.
For example, everything else being equal, the firm that's sitting on a large hoard of cash can more easily pay its bills and can take advantage of great opportunities that pop up. (For example, if a competitor gets into trouble and wants to sell valuable assets at fire-sale prices, a very liquid firm with great gobs of cash can more easily exploit such an opportunity.)
Current ratio
The current ratio liquidity measure compares a firm's current assets with its current liabilities. A firm's current assets include cash, inventory, accounts receivable, and any other asset that can (or will be) quickly turned into cash.
Most small businesses don't have much in the way of other current assets, although they may have some, such as short-term investments. Current liabilities include bills that must be paid in the coming year, such as accounts payable, wages payable, taxes payable, and — if you're borrowing money on a long-term basis, such as through bank loans — the principal portions of the coming year's payment on a loan.
The following is the exact formula used to calculate the current ratio:
current assets/current liabilities
The simple balance sheet shown gives you an example of how this current ratio formula works. As the table shows, this firm's current assets equal $50,000. The firm's only current liability is $20,000 of accounts payable.
|Current assets
|Fixed assets (net)
|Total assets
|Accounts payable
|Loan payable
|Owner's equity
|S. Nelson, capital
|Total liabilities and owner's equity
To calculate the current ratio of the firm described by the balance sheet, you use the following formula:
This formula returns the value 2.5. Therefore, the value 2.5 is this firm's current ratio.
Here's a general guideline concerning current ratios: A firm's current ratio should be a value of 2 or higher. In other words, the firm's current assets should be double or more than double the firm's current liabilities.
Acid test ratio
Also known as the quick ratio, the acid test ratio is a more severe measure of a firm's liquidity. However, it serves the same general purpose as the current ratio. The acid test ratio indicates how easily a firm can meet its current financial obligations and exploit any financial opportunities that pop up.
The following formula is used for calculating the acid test ratio:
(current assets – inventory)/current liabilities
For example, in the case of the business described by the balance sheet shown, you use the following formula to calculate the acid test ratio:
This formula returns the value 1.25. Therefore, the value of 1.25 is this firm's acid test ratio.
Here's a guideline for acid test ratio: A firm's acid test ratio should be a value of 1 or higher. In other words, the current assets after you subtract the inventory should provide enough money to pay the current liabilities.

Where Did the American Indians Come From?
Evidence shows the indigenous peoples of Asia and the Americas share a common ancestry
Young Kim (kimsoft)

Published 2005-07-27 14:47 (KST)
I have been living in an old Indian village called Snoqualmie (a corruption of the Indian word
, meaning, "the moon") in Washington state. Since the Native Indians and I are believed to come from the same stock -- being Mongoloid and from Siberia -- I felt that I had a vested interest in these fellow Asians and did some research on the history of the Snoqualmie Indian tribe, where they came from and how they -- who owned much of the Seattle area -- have become almost extinct.
The Snoqualmie Indians
Since the Native Indians -- except the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans -- had no written language, the written history goes back to the arrival of the white man in 1790. The newcomers were welcomed and trade flourished between the two camps until mid-1800, when the newly established United States began to exterminate the "Red Indians" and take over their land.
Within a generation, the Native Indians were killed off by whole-scale massacres, starvation, and epidemics brought in by the white settlers, and by the 1840s, the Indian population shrank to fewer than one tenth the population before the Caucasians arrived.
In 1848, the U.S. Congress established the Oregon Territory of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming. In 1855, the Snoqualmie tribe signed a treaty with the Big White Chief that effectively handed over their ancestral land to the white man.
White settlers forced Indians off their land -- supposedly protected by the Big White Chief, and the Indians were forced to move to barren shrublands. Finally, the Indians had had enough and took up arms to drive away the white invaders. Thus, the Puget Sound Indian War began in mid-September 1855 when Charles H. Mason, acting governor of the territory, Lt. William A. Slaughter and his men journeyed to Naches Pass to investigate a murder case. This act in turn roused the Indians into a rampage.
The last battle of the war was fought in March 1856 near Seattle. Lt. Gilmore Hays led a force of 100 men against about 150 Indian braves. The battle lasted all day and the poorly armed and led Indians were defeated, and the last armed resistance by the Native Indians was crushed. White settlers lynched Indians and the few survivors fled to the mountains. Today, only a handful pure-blood Indians survive.
White Indians?
The popular belief, based on genetics and archeological evidence, is that the Indians came to America from Asia when the North American continent was connected to the Eurasian continent through a land bridge (Berringia) exposed during the latest ice age some 11,000 to 26,000 year ago. It is believed Alaska and Canada were connected during the last ice age.
Archeological evidence suggests that humans lived in Brazil and Chile as early as 11,500 years ago, which means the migrants had passed over Berringia centuries earlier and gradually spread south on foot. (Until the white settlers came, the Native Indians had no horse or wheels for transport.) It is even possible that some of the early migrants came to America during an earlier ice age, 37,000 years ago, or even earlier.
Some scientists believe that Caucasians had arrived in boats eons before Mongoloids did. Mormons, who believe the Brown Indians wiped out the White Indians, promote the notion of White Indians.
The proponents of the White Indian theory claim migrants from Oceania arrived either by sailing across the Pacific or over the land route through Beringia at a much earlier date. The oldest human remains in South America resemble Australian Aborigines or the Negritos of southern and southeastern Asia or the Ainu of northern Japan.
Recently, an 8,900-year old skeleton, nicknamed the Kennewick Man, after the village of Kennewick in the state of Washington, has stirred up the controversy on the origin of the American Indians. Although the skeleton was discovered more than nine years ago by college students on the bank of the Columbia River, local Indian tribes filed legal actions to rebury the remains and had the boned locked up, preventing scientific examination.
Fortunately, the court ruled against the Indians recently and allowed anthropologists to examine the bones. (Chatters, 2005). The Kennewick Man shows Caucasian facial features. In fact, he bears an uncanny likeness to Egypt's Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut.
It is commonly believed that Egyptians are Caucasoid. However, closer examinations of King Tut and the Kennewick Man indicate that they are closer to the people of Oceania -- the Ainu, Polynesians, Australian Aborigines, and the Negritos -- a cross between Caucasoid and Negroid or perhaps hominids -- a mix of modern and ancient man -- before the differentiation into today's ethnic taxonomy.
The immigrants came to America in small groups of tens or so and scattered throughout the Americas in search of food. These bands remained largely isolated and grew into thousands of tribes with their own languages and customs.
Although most tribes eked out a subsistence living, some managed to develop advanced civilizations. The Maya, Olmec, Zapotec, Toltec, Aztec, Inca and some other tribes developed cities and states that were far more advanced than the contemporary European civilization.
Archaeological evidence in Australia, Melanesia, and Japan indicate "coastal" people who were neither Mongoloid, nor Caucasoid, nor Negroid, and who had their own physical characteristics populated the vast Sunda Shelf, now under water.
It is believed that some of these Sunda people migrated to America some 56,000 to 73,000 years ago during an earlier ice age. When the Sunda Shelf sank with deglaciation, some residents got stranded on isolated islands such as Japan, the Pacific islands, Australia, Egypt, and so on, while others moved inland and mixed with the native inland people.
As the ice ages came and went, the Berringia land bridge came and went, controlling the flow of immigrants from Asia and the Sunda land. It appears the first immigrants were Sunda people -- a Caucasoid-Negroid mix, and later arrivals were mainly Mongoloid.
Mitochondria DNA research on American Indians support the multiple migration theory. The Indians and people in Siberia and Korea have nearly identical genomes. However, the Indians have some genes that are not found among their Asian cousins. These "strange" genes are believed to be from the Sunda people now extinct. (Wikepedia, 2005)
Linguistic studies of 300 or so Indian languages indicate that they may have come from three or four ancestral languages. Strangely, these languages are more similar to Polynesian languages than to Asian languages. It is probable the earlier immigrants heavily influenced the later immigrants linguistically.

"The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend", at least that's what Aristotle says. I think he was on to something there. You can have an entire army facing you ready to run you through, but if you have one friend by your side you may just have the chance to win. Before when I started EVE Online and Lord of the Rings Online, it was hard to get into the game because my friends either couldn't play the same time as me or were vastly higher level than I was. It made the games much less fun at the time than it was to play with a friends.
MMOs force you to get to know some one's personality before anything else, this is especially true when you're grouped up in guilds or clans. This is vastly different than what our human nature normally allows. As people our nature is to find others like us physically first, then discern intelligence and mentality. Video games have made it so we get to know the person's personality before anything else. As a result, friendships you make through the game can create a stronger bond than even you may realize.
I'm sure you're asking why all of a sudden is Joe going on about friendships and want-not. Couple nights ago my guild was working on Lich King (25) and we were coming back from a break when we got on a tangent because an old friend of many of the long time people in the guild expressed interest in not only coming back to the game, but finding a home on our server. We started talking about all the "old timers" we used to hang out with and it came up that someone I used to farm honor with late night that I hadn't heard from in a very long time, passed away. I had no idea and that really bothered me. I mean this a person that I used to stay up all hours of the night shooting the shit, while shooting the horde. I remember being dog tired after a particularly long day at work and being JUST below my requirement for Knight rank in the old PvP system. This person was part of the group that convinced me to just queue with them and then let them do the work while I napped. Just so I could make sure I got the points before the next day's calculations to get my rank. This person was also part of the group that when me and my girlfriend at the time split for good, decided it was city raid time to try and break me out of the slump I had fallen into. All the while joking and cajoling me trying to get me to laugh. Say whatever you will, these were good people.
The news of the death was a bit sobering sure, but it made me think of the other people I've made friends with through this game and how much their friendships impact my life. One of my best friends was found through the game. I've talked about it before but it's still a good story. Back in BC we got an influx of new recruits, one of which was a smart-ass warlock. We always joked in game and always got along. One raid night I offhandedly mentioned having gone to a local coffee house before the raid. Erommon perked up on vent and started asking questions. Soon as the raid was over we met up, went to Deny's and just hung out to the course of another 3 hours or so just talking. Needless to say he has become one of my best friends.
Another one of my best friends I met as a result of WoW. I had just been hired for my current job and we were on a break from training. I logged into my guild's website to check raid sign-ups and my friend Dan happened to see it was a WoW website. We started talking and quickly found out we had much in common outside of the game. We became fast friends and now he is currently the person I'm working with for the 2D video game I've been working on.
I try to make myself accessible to guildies, but there are some I talk to more than others just out of shared likes and dislikes and play times. I've had guildies call me with real life problems at very odd hours just to vent and seek advice like they would from any long term real world friend. I've had guildies call me to make sure I was OK with things going on in my life outside of the game.
Even through the community there is this amazing bond that can be shared. I can't tell you how many friends I've made through blogging and the community that surrounds it. If not for that community I never would have met my girlfriend or been introduced to such amazing people as I have been. Hell I've talked about Thespius from this site before, we hit it off right away when he joined my guild and through game time, this site and just chatting in general I'm happy to call him my friend, and would share a frosty pint with him any day.
Sometimes it amazes me and I have to sit back and take stock of it all. Today is one of those days. I mean how long ago was it that gamers were shunned covens of outcasts? Now gaming is it's own social media giant that is allowing us to make some great contacts and meet people we normally wouldn't have thought to talk to or get to know. Look back and think about all the friends you've made in the game or through the community. Do you consider them actual friends? Any stories to share?

It's been a while since we've heard anything about Steve Pink's remake of the Troma classic The Toxic Avenger, but the latest batch of news is a total shocker. Rumor has it John Travolta is attached to the movie, and folks are speculating that Travolta is lined up to play Toxie himself. Whoa.
The industry site It's On The Grid has listed Travolta as a cast member for The Toxic Avenger, with no other actors currently attached. But the biggest surprise is the logline "Action-comedy remake in the vein of THE MASK... he's an environmental superhero...doesn't want it to be campy..." We're not sure how you pull off a serious Toxic Avenger, but we would really like to see someone try. Insanity!

A rebound in New Zealand's milk supply is adding to gains in Europe and the U.S., overwhelming demand growth in China that helped send global dairy prices to a record in February.
A record payout to New Zealand dairy farmers last year is setting the stage for a global milk glut that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. predicts will last half a decade.
The world's top exporter will expand production to an all-time high, the government predicts, after a 2013 surge in prices led to investment in more cows and nutritional supplements that boost milk flow, just as pastures recovered from a drought. Annual global dairy output will exceed demand by 2 billion liters through 2018, Goldman said in a report last month. That's enough to fill 800 Olympic-size swimming pools.
A rebound in New Zealand supply is adding to gains in Europe and the U.S., overwhelming demand growth in China that helped send global dairy prices tracked by the United Nations to a record in February. Surpluses may further erode Chicago futures that have slumped 12 percent from a peak in April, cutting costs for buyers including Dallas-based Dean Foods Co.
"Supply is putting pressure on the market," Michael Harvey, a Melbourne-based analyst at Rabobank International, said in a phone interview on July 9. "There is a lot of milk that needs to be soaked up before we start to see any price increase."
Class III milk, used to make cheese, closed yesterday at $21.39 per 100 pounds on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, down from a record $24.32 on April 24. Prices may drop to $19.91 by December, according to broker INTL FCStone Inc. CME futures already anticipate a drop, with the contract for January delivery trading at $18.54.
Auction Slump
Whole-milk powder in New Zealand, a benchmark for global trade, tumbled 30 percent this year to $3,459 a metric ton at the twice-monthly auction held by Auckland-based Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd., the world's biggest dairy exporter. Average prices will drop 9.6 percent in the 12 months that began July 1, and skim-milk powder, cheese and butter will also decline, the Australian government said June 17.
New Zealand's output will rise to 1.856 billion kilograms of milk solids in the year ending May 31 as the herd expands, up from 1.815 billion kilograms a year earlier, the Ministry for Primary Industries said June 9. Cow's milk is about 86 percent water and 14 percent milk solids, according to Goldman. Fonterra said May 28 that supply will increase 2 percent in the year ending May 31, 2015. Milk collection was 10 percent higher in June than a year earlier, three months before the seasonal increase in output starts in September, Fonterra said July 7.
Ending Losses
Lower prices will provide some relief to Dean Foods, the largest U.S. milk processor, which had losses in three of the past four quarters. The company will report a loss of $10.1 million in the three months that ended June 30, according to a Bloomberg survey of three analysts.
"Supply has arrived sort of to the rescue, and we're going to begin to see the downward pressure on this price curve going forward for the balance of the year," Chief Financial Officer Chris Bellairs said in a presentation May 21. "These very, very high prices that we've been experiencing recently will bring supply to the market. This problem will now start to rectify itself."
Weather remains a wildcard. New Zealand's most widespread drought in 30 years wilted pastures used to feed the dairy herd and sent the average winning price at Fonterra auctions to a record $5,245 in April 2013. An emerging El Nino weather pattern may bring drier conditions to Australia's east and south and drought on New Zealand's east coast. The odds of El Nino developing this year are at least 70 percent, most likely by about September, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology says.
Stricter Rules
Global imports for whole-milk powder more than doubled since 2008 as the economy grew in China, the most-populous nation and biggest buyer. Whole-milk powder imports may reach a record 900,000 tons in 2014, 38 percent more than the U.S. Department of Agriculture's forecast, according to a June 18 report by the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service. The FAS said milk output will be about 3 percent less than the USDA forecast because of stricter rules on local production and reduced herds.
"Most people expect their demand to remain strong," said Kyle Schrad, risk management consultant at INTL FCStone in Chicago.
China relies on imports because domestic dairies haven't kept pace with demand, and after food-safety scandals that included melamine-tainted baby formula that led to deaths of at least six babies and sickened thousands in 2008. The country also relies on imported feed and faces challenges from land and water availability, biosecurity and high domestic production costs, making self-sufficiency difficult, according to Rabobank.
Milk Solids
Even as China increases purchases of dairy from cheese to baby formula, the slowest expansion since 1990 may curb growth in demand. Gross domestic product will slow to 7.4 percent this year from 7.7 percent in 2013, according to economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Demand may also slow in the second half after China bought more than it needed in the first part of the year, Rabobank said in a report e-mailed on June 25.
New Zealand output reached an all-time high last season as Fonterra paid a record NZ$8.40 per kilogram of milk solids, and pastures recovered from drought. While Fonterra forecasts NZ$7 in 2014-2015, that would be the fourth-highest payment to farmers, according to ANZ Bank New Zealand Ltd. New Zealand accounts for 65 percent of global exports of whole-milk powder.
"The higher price and more feeding" boosted production last year, said Con Williams, rural economist at ANZ Bank in Wellington. "Most of the growth this year is more premised around extra cows or new dairy conversions."
Food Costs
The country's dairy herd expanded 11 percent from 2010, USDA data show. The herd was 5 million on July 1, from a record 5.01 million a year ago, and will expand to 5.1 million on July 1, 2015, the government estimates. It's the world's largest exporter of butter and whole-milk powder, according to the USDA.
In Australia, the fourth-biggest butter and cheese exporter, output will increase 2 percent in 2014-2015, Dairy Australia, a producer group, forecasts. Supply from New Zealand and Australia rises in spring, which begins in September.
World food prices tracked by the UN's Food & Agriculture Organization in Rome fell 1.8 percent in June, a third straight decline and 14 percent below the record set in February 2011. The gauge of dairy prices fell for a fourth straight month to the lowest since March 2013.
Record Crop
Compounding the surplus will be the end of EU production quotas next year, increased profits for U.S. farmers, and investment in expanded dairy operations in China, Goldman said in a June 11 report. EU milk production will increase 2.5 percent to 157 million tons next year with the end of quotas imposed in 1984, the European Commission predicts. Output is up for a fifth straight year in 2014, according to the USDA.
U.S. farmers are boosting production after wheat and corn fell into a bear markets this year, reducing feed costs. Output will rise 2.4 percent to 206.1 billion pounds, according to the USDA. A second straight record corn harvest will increase domestic stockpiles to the highest in nine years, helping to boost net-cash income for dairy farmers by 28 percent, the USDA predicts. Corn prices tumbled 25 percent in the past year.
"In the case of Europe and the U.S., production will expand based on the price of milk compared to the price of feed," said Peter Vitaliano, vice-president for economy policy and market research for the National Milk Producers Federation in Arlington, Virginia. "In New Zealand and Australia, unless prices are terrible, farmers will produce more milk based on how much rain they get and how much pasture they have. The expectation is they will continue to increase."

Complementary medicine is any treatment that is outside the
traditional medicine or practice of a person's primary health system. A
treatment that is complementary in one culture may be traditional in another;
for example, acupuncture, although traditional in China, is considered
alternative or complementary in the United States.
A central concept of many types of complementary medicine is to
give thought and care to the whole person (holistic) rather than providing
treatment for a specific disease or symptom. This holistic view and the
emphasis on maintaining good health may be appealing for those with chronic
illness or for those who want to improve their quality of life through
lifestyle changes.
The use of complementary medicine in the U.S. is on the rise.
People often seek out complementary therapies for long-term (chronic)
conditions that have not been successfully treated with conventional medicine
as well as to maintain and improve wellness and quality of life.
