In almost all jurisdictions you do not have to put registration numbers on a documented velle, just a sticker. However, dependent on who the enforcement is done by, you may have a problem. CG will know the rules and you should not have a problem. Local county and DNR are another issue. I have a documented vessel sailing Lake Michigan. I just added the total registration numbers to the boat to save the hassle. You may be totally in the right, but if they issue you a citation you have to deal with it. Rather than take the time to fight the issue I put the numbers on and never get bothered. I could stand on the principle, but I have better use of my time and pick other issues to challenge.
Yes, you are dead on the mark. The government knows all too well that most people will just take the path of least resistance. That is how they get deeper and deeper into our pockets every day. Every law is legal until challenged and they count on that.
As I understand the law, at least from the past, it was illegal, according to the documentation information, to document and also state register. Just because you do not show the numbers does not mean that you are not state registered. To have only sticker displayed is the same as having the numbers displayed also. Another government game. It is all about the money, and always is with government.
I do not display a state sticker. I have the sticker on board and the state registration also. I have not been stopped here in my state. I was stopped in FL recently, by the water cops, not the CG. They were very courteous and asked to see my documentation information. After viewing same they asked about the state sticker. I showed the loose sticker to them and advised them that it was my understanding that a documented vessel could not display numbers or a sticker as that would indicate that the vessel was registered both with the CG and with the state. They were satisfied and left without boarding or further discussion on the matter.
I agree with the OP that they are apparently aware that they may be on thin ice if taken to court. It is that way with many laws. If a successful challenge to the law was made, they would stand to loose a substantial revenue source. They probably do not wish to chance a hearing on the issue and bluff their way around, knowing that most will fall in line.
I have been doing it my way for the last five years, but who knows what tomorrow brings.

This sound advice will help entrepreneurs better manage inventory and improve profitability and cash flow.
As the first indicator of profitability, a firm's gross margin will establish the goals that will drive the action plans of almost every department. The second indicator, Operating Expenses, should be assessed just as carefully.
Above and beyond a job description, which describes the essential functions and the tasks to be done, the performance standard defines how well each function or task must be performed.
Performance standards will be of little value if the entrepreneur never measures actual performance against the standards. Ongoing measurement assures that a business stays on track.

- Introduction
- Cattle
- Pigs
- Sheep
- Goats
- Horses
- Asses and mules
- Buffalo and camels
Basic dietary requirements
Pigs have the same basic nutritional requirements as humans, which include water, various vitamins and minerals, protein for growth and repair, carbohydrates for energy, and fat to supply essential fatty acids that are not synthesized in adequate quantities. Water is often a forgotten nutrient because it is usually readily available. As a guide, pigs need two to three times as much water as dry feed, depending on environmental temperatures.
The fat-soluble vitamins that must be added to swine diets include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins—in particular, the vitamin B complex—that must be added include niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. Biotin, folic acid, and choline are sometimes recommended in diets of young pigs and the breeding herd. Vitamin requirements are usually listed as International Units, milligrams, or micrograms per unit of feed.
Mineral needs can be divided into major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals that need to be added to the diet include calcium, phosphorus, and common salt. Requirements for major minerals are usually listed as a percentage of the diet. Trace minerals that need to be added to pig diets include iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium. Although other minerals are required for growth, they are present in adequate amounts in feedstuffs. Requirements for trace minerals are usually listed as parts per million or milligrams per kilogram.
There is sufficient fat (about 1 percent) in the grain or feed of a pig's diet to supply all of its essential fatty acid requirements. Protein is a source of amino acids, 10 of which are deemed essential dietary requirements for pig nutrition. An additional 11 or so amino acids can be synthesized by the pig's metabolism and, although required for muscle growth, do not need to be present in the diet.
Corn (maize) is a favourite energy or carbohydrate source for pigs, but wheat, sorghum, milo, barley, and oats also are used if the price is favourable. Wherever abundant and reasonable in price, soybean oil meal is the favoured source of protein and amino acids, and other oil meals and high-protein by-products are used in most countries.
Special dietary requirements
The nutritional requirements of pigs vary according to their age, sex, and activities. For example, a boar's nutritional requirements are based on its weight and the number of times it has ejaculated, whether by inseminating sows or by having its semen collected for artificial insemination.
Nutrient requirements during gestation are much lower than would be expected; the major concern is that the sows do not become overweight before giving birth. Gilts should gain about 45 kg (100 pounds) during pregnancy. This weight gain includes about 14 kg (30 pounds) for offspring, another 14 kg for products of conception (increased weight of uterus and fluids), and 18 kg (40 pounds) of general weight gain. Sows, which have already produced litters, should gain 27 to 32 kg (60 to 70 pounds). A daily balanced diet of 1.8 kg (4 pounds) of feed will meet the nutritional requirements of gestating pigs in temperate environmental conditions.
After farrowing, a lactating sow's first milk is called colostrum, which lasts about three days. During this period, a sow needs 2 to 3 kg (4.5 to 6.5 pounds) of feed per day. Colostrum is very high in nutrients and factors that provide passive immunity to nursing piglets. This passive immunity is essential for disease resistance before piglets develop their own immunity, so all newborn piglets need to nurse immediately. Sows usually nurse their litters for two to five weeks, depending on the management system. Lactating sows have high nutrient requirements and at peak production may generate as much as 6 kg (13 pounds) of milk per day for their offspring. To prevent large weight losses in the sow, they need to be fed as much feed as they can consume. This can be as much as 10 to 12 kg (22 to 26 pounds) at three or more weeks after farrowing.
Weaned pigs are usually moved to a nursery where the temperature can be kept higher than 27 °C (80 °F) until they are about four weeks old. Piglets typically stay in the nursery for six to eight weeks. Newly weaned pigs have an immature digestive system, and their first diet after weaning until about four weeks of age should contain dried milk products in addition to energy and protein sources. Typically, nursery pigs are fed two to four different diets as they grow.
Growing pigs should be fed at least four distinct diets to optimize gain. As a pig grows, it eats more each day, but the nutrient density can be reduced.

Bidar: D. Roopa, who took charge as the Superintendent of Police on Monday, said that all-round vigilance in the sensitive border district of Bidar would remain her priority.
To achieve this, the police force would be in constant interaction with various security agencies at the State and national level, she told presspersons on Tuesday.
The force would crack down on gambling and other illegal activities.
Traffic situation
She expressed concern over the worsening traffic situation in the city. She sought the co-operation of City Municipal Council and the district administration in order to regulate traffic.
A 24-hour toll-free telephone line would be opened in the District Police Office on the lines of the Mahila Sahaya Vani in Bangalore, in order to counsel women in distress.
This would also work as a bridge between the police and affected women. Assistance of NGOs would be sought in establishing this, she said.
Senior police officials would participate in meetings with the people at the police station, taluk and district levels. This would bridge the gap between the people and the police, she said. Officials would intensify night patrolling to maintain law and order.

Spurs' Ginobili 'feeling good' day after Game 1
The Spurs allowed 97.3 points in their final 10 games of the regular season, but held the Lakers to their third-lowest point total of the season.
Dwight Howard had 20 points and 15 rebounds and Pau Gasol added 16 points and 16 rebounds. Steve Nash scored 16 points and Steve Blake had 12, but no one else had more than six points.
"The Spurs didn't lose many games at home," Nash said. "It's not an easy place to come and win. We played pretty well defensively and not well enough offensively. If we can have a better game in Game 2, we have a chance. I don't want to get too carried away about the position we are in."
The Lakers pulled within four points twice in the third quarter, but were unable to get any closer. Injured star Kobe Bryant, who watched the national broadcast, tweeted that it was a game the Lakers could have stolen.
"Anytime you lose in the playoffs, you feel regret of some sort," Nash said. "But I think our team, where we're at, we want to take the positive and try to move on to Game 2 and have a better performance."
Bryant tweeted throughout the game, stressing the Lakers needed to work the ball more inside. Los Angeles had 40 points in the paint, but Bryant tweeted "Post. Post. Post."
Bryant is out for the season with a torn Achilles.
Ginobili said he considered tweeting while watching the Spurs' games when he was injured, but opted not to.
"It's not my style," Ginobili said. "I thought about it the previous games before the end of the season when I was staying here and my teammates were on the road. Just to give a different view to some fans, I think it could be nice and different, but it depends on every individual what they want to tweet or talk about."

This taxon is Not Recognised as a species by BirdLife International.
Taxonomic source(s)
SACC. 2006. A classification of the bird species of South America. Available at: #http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html#.
Taxonomic note
Pauxi unicornis and P. koepckeae (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. unicornis following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993).
Crax unicornis Stotz et al. (1996), Crax unicornis BirdLife International (2004), Crax unicornis unicornis BirdLife International (2004), Crax unicornis unicornis Stotz et al. (1996)
85-95 cm. Large, black cracid with long frontal casque. All-black, with white vent and tip to tail. Bright red bill and pale blue casque. In the Bolivian population the casque is an upright horn while in the Peruvian taxon koepckeae the casque is flattened against the head, shorter and rounder. Koepckeae also has only a thin white tip to the tail. The legs are normally pale red but yellowish in the male in the breeding season. Female like male, but also has a rufous colour phase. Voice In Bolivia song is a booming series of four phrases lasting c.9 seconds and repeated every 15 seconds, final phrase is a far carrying emphatic hmm. In Peru song appears to be a single booming phrase of 3 to 4 notes repeated every 4 seconds. Alarm call is an explosive disyllabic k-sop. Hints Best located when booming during the main part of the breeding season (probably August-December in Bolivia, November to March in Peru), but separation of Bolivian taxon from booming Razor-billed Curassow Mitu tuberosa is difficult unless close enough to hear all phrases.
Distribution and population
Pauxi unicornis is known from two disjunct populations in central Bolivia and central Peru. The nominate subspecies is known from the adjacent Amboró and Carrasco National Parks (Cox et al. 1997, Herzog and Kessler 1998, Mee 1999, R. MacLeod in litt. 2000) and has recently been found in Isiboro-Secure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS) and along the outer edge of the Cordillera Mosetenes, Cochabamba, Bolivia (R. MacLeod in litt. 2007). It was formerly found along the length of Carrasco's northern boundary (R. MacLeod in litt. 2000), but recent surveys found it in very few locations here (R. MacLeod in litt. 2007). Despite the apparently large gap in its range (B. Hennessey in litt. 1999), extensive searches over several years have failed to locate the species in Madidi National Park, La Paz, Bolivia (R. MacLeod in litt. 2003, Hennessey 2004a, A. Maccormack in litt. 2004), in the rio Tambopata area near the Peru/Bolivia border (R. MacLeod in litt. 2004, Gastañaga and Hennessey 2005) and in the Cordillera Cocapata and along the inner edge of Cordillera Mosetenes in Cochabamba (R. MacLeod in litt. 2003, R. MacLeod in litt. 2007). The subspecies koepckeae , known only from the Cerros del Sira in Huánuco, Peru, had gone unrecorded since its description in 1969 but its continued presence was established by local knowledge surveys in 2003 and observations in 2005 (Gastañaga 2006). Previous field surveys, including one in 2004, found no birds and local reports suggest that it is very rare here (Mee et al. 2002, A. Maccormack in litt. 2004, R. MacLeod in litt. 2004). The total population for the subspecies in Peru is estimated to be less than 400 individuals in Cerros del Sira (Gastañaga in litt. 2007),with evidence that its numbers are declining (Gastañaga and Hennessey 2005). The species occurs at densities of up to 20 individuals/km2, although this appears to be exceptional and at most sites only one or two individuals have been found (R. MacLeod in litt. 2007).
The nominate taxon inhabits dense, humid, lower montane forest and adjacent lowland evergreen forest at 450-1,400 m (R. MacLeod in litt. 2000, Gastañaga 2006, Maillard 2006). For much of the year it stays above 550 m, but descends in the dry season (Renjifo and Renjifo 1997). At any one part of its range the species tends to be restricted to an altitudinal band of c.500 m but the upper and lower limits of this vary from location to location. The Peruvian taxon inhabits cloud forest which in Cerros del Sira is found at altitudes of around 1100-1450 m and above, although in the dry season individuals have also occasionally been found somewhat lower (down to 950 m) along the upper edge adjacent montane forest. Its diet consists of fruit, seeds, soft plants, larvae and insects. Display songs and pairing have been noted from August (R. MacLeod in litt. 2000), with a nest found during October (Cox et al. 1997). The clutch-size is probably two (R. MacLeod in litt. 2007), as in other Cracidae, although in the only nest over found there was only one egg) and consequently it has a low reproductive rate (Cox et al. 1997, Renjifo and Renjifo 1997, Banks 1998). In Peru the peak singing (and presumably breeding) period appears to be in February and March (R. MacLeod in litt. 2007).
In Bolivia, forests within its altitudinal range are being cleared for the cultivation of staple and export crops by recent colonists from the altiplano (Dinerstein et al. 1995, Fjeldså in litt. 1999, Maillard 2006). Road-building and associated rural development have a negative impact and inhibit dispersal (Herzog and Kessler 1998, Fjeldså in litt. 1999). Hunting for its meat seems to be the biggest threat in both Bolivia and Peru and is likely to be having a serious negative impact in all parts of its range (Gastañaga 2006). In Peru, subsistence agriculture threatens its habitat (R. MacLeod in litt. 2000), as does opening up the foothills to colonisation and hunting. Mining, oil exploration and illegal logging are potential future threats in El Sira as well as forest clearance by colonists.
Conservation Actions Underway
Large parts of its range are theoretically protected by Amboró and Carrasco National Parks and TIPNIS (although these protected areas are seriously threatened and have suffered from recent invasions [MacLeod et al. 2006]), and it was recorded within the El Sira Communal Reserve although hunting still takes place here (Gastañaga and Hennessey 2005, Gastañaga in litt. 2007, Graham 2009). Extensive surveys have been conducted in recent years but have met with little success in locating the species in many areas (Mee et al. 2002, R. MacLeod in litt. 2003, Hennessey 2004a, A. Maccormack in litt. 2004, R. MacLeod in litt. 2004). An education project to combat hunting and raise awareness was carried out in the Sira mountains in 2005 (Gastañaga 2005). Conservation Actions Proposed
Nominate unicornis (Bolivia): Conduct field studies to locate and estimate the size of the surviving population and to determine its conservation requirements and vulnerability to human encroachment. Work with the Carrasco and Amboro National Parks and local communities to develop and implement conservation management plans for the species and its habitat. Develop work with local educators and schools to inform local people about the conservation importance and uniqueness of the species and its habitat to their area. Work with local communities to promote a community based hunting ban for the species and to reduce human pressure on its habitat. Identify and implement measures that will measurably improve the livelihoods of the local communities in return for their assistance in conserving the species. Taxon koepckae (Peru): Continue working with communities around Cerros del Sira in conducting local knowledge surveys about the distribution of the species and in raising awareness of its unique status. Identify and implement measures that will measurably improve the livelihoods of the local indigenous communities in return for their essential assistance in conserving the species through a community enforced hunting ban. Obtain a series of sound recordings and behavioural observations to be used in combination with the known physical differences to determine if the Peruvian taxon is a unique species. Conduct field studies of the ecology of the Peruvian taxon in order to estimate the size of the surviving population, determine its conservation requirements and vulnerability to human encroachment. Work with INRENA (the protected areas authority) to develop and implement a conservation management plan for the species and its habitat (MacLeod et al. 2006).

Man,I thought you'd never ask!!!! I've been bragging about your site since I fixed my own dryer. I was so happy to find the part, but absolutely thrilled to have a video too on how to install it step by step. And the repairman on the video was safety conscious too and made it simple. Naturally, I was super happy with the cost of the part ($10.43) and the S&H was faster than expected! It would have cost me $99.00 just for a service man to come to my house and then charge me the parts and labor on top of that - who knows? I was thinking about just buying a new dryer when repairs start to cost over $100...you wonder. I fixed it within 30 minutes, and the extra time was only because I had to vacuum behind my dryer. I only vacuum behind the dryer every 10 years whether it needs it or not! (just kidding!) Thank you so much for existing - I will ALWAYS come here to see how I can repair things within my abilities. I told my dad that I fixed my own dryer and he said, "I'm proud of you!" He fixes everything and I watched him for years about the house fixing stuff. I'm my father's DAUGHTER!

The company's leadership invested time, energy and money in innovating their processes, which created closer connections with the market, production, and their own business model. The processes reduced inefficiency and allowed employees to fully use their skills and experience.
The results have included faster time-to-market, better delivery performance, and more consistent business decisions. Despite the whirlwind whipping around Goodyear, the big four challenges pinpointed in the Conference Board 2014 CEO survey never left the sight of those responsible for that company's governance.
Domestic automobile manufacturers that had wandered from this path saw the face of death and, given another chance at life, have refocused on innovation, operational excellence, customer relationships, and people. Let's hope this memory doesn't fade.
All of you know companies that consistently make good decisions, maintain focus, and stay true to their vision, mission, and ethics. Some of you even own or run those companies. Congratulations. You are no more surprised by the 2014 top four challenges than I am, as you never lose sight on what success requires.
I can't wait to see the 2015 survey results.

I was afraid I would have to remove the built in oven from the wall to do the repair but it was simple. I pulled on the wire a bit and the connector popped out of the hole in the back. After that it was as simple as removing 2 screws, replacing the unit, plugging it in and pushing the new connection out the hole in the back. They included a piece of insulation with the kit that I then forced into the hole to protect the new plug from the heat of the oven.Much easier than I thought it was going to be. In about 10 minutes I had the oven working again.

We named our son Wilder Adventure. I only get sh*t about it from people on here, but in real life most every one loves it. (We didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl... if he'd been a girl he would have been Willow Adventure)
Wilder Adventure- June 3, 2009
Shannon, 28.... hopelessly in love with Noah, 37....
First time Mumma to Wilder Adventure, June 3, 2009
We named our Daughter Summerlyn anne-louise, her middle names are my sister and sister in laws middle names as well :-)
She often gets Summer-lyn instead of summerlyn but i am sure she will get used to correcting people as she gets older.
We are pregnant with a baby boy due in December now and are finding it sooooo hard to find a name that goes with summerlyn that isnt too weird for a boy. *sigh!*
DD Summerlyn 4
Baby boy coming by C-section on the 25th Nov.
I LOVE Willow, Clover and Henna....all names that were on my list. Hubby vetoed them all!
My husband and I are expecting our first child this coming Thursday. Our precious little boy is to be named Lennox Jacob which is a perfect fit for our family since we both have unique (although heard sometimes) names...and Lennox is definitly uncommon.
Serena & Trenton:
Parents to Lennox Jacob (EDD:09/03/2009)
For any Mommy-2-Be in search of unique names:
There is an amazing name book titled A is for Atticus: Baby names from Literature that has unique names in it that I purchased from Barnes&Noble at the begining of my pregnancy and it is where my husband and I found the name for our son who is to be named Lennox (we both wanted something unique)!
My oldest sons name is Perrin Tobias I love it and have never met anyone else with this name =D
My daughter's name is Makaela. It's pronounced Makayla, but since we live in HI, we opted for a more Hawaiian spelling.
Wife to Matt (11-29-02), Mom to Makaela (9/11/07)
My son is Tate Millan. Tate was picked by my hubby after I suggested Tatum for a girl. Millan was my great-grandfathers last name. For our second child we will use Bo Jadyn for a girl. And I cant come up with anything for a boy. I think I want to use the middle name Madden, I like Trace Madden but my mom says it sounds too much like Tracy. It has to be a single syllable and it cant begin or end with K or end with L because it will sound bad with our last name. Which really sucks because I love the name Cale!

The Sun says Jose Mourinho has instructed his new club to splash out for Frank Lampard, Ricardo Carvalho and Didier Drogba.
The ex-Blues boss will be confirmed as Inter manager in the next 48 hours after the Italian champs axed Roberto Mancini.
And he has already handed a transfer dossier to the Serie A club's president Massimo Moratti. Mourinho knows the players' contract details from his time at Chelsea and Inter's cash bid reflects that - plus the ages of the trio.
Each of them will be 30 by the start of next season, with Lamps the highest earner on £125,000 a week. Inter value Drogba at £21.5m, Carvalho at £7m and Lampard at £6.5m.

OMG my boat leaks!
I had some excitement this morning when I got up and found several leaks from the first real rainstorm since I got here in January.
Leak one looks like it is coming through a shroud chainplate. Comes through at a pretty good clip. Their was some really sad looking cracked up grey putty around the chainplate on the deck. The surveyor recomended removing them and inspecting them so its possible that I was thinking I would fix it then and not worry about it. In any case I scraped off the sad putty and smeared it with silicone for now. There is rain forecast for the next couple of days so I can't do anything with it right now and will just have to hope the silicone holds up. Until I get them pulled out and let the wood dry and pack it with butyl.
Leak 2 is a window in the main area. My boat has those large non-openable type of windows. I think I found the issue and gave it the same silicone treatment as the chainplate. My issue here is that I am not sure how to go about fixing the window. It looks like it has been taken out once and the plastic did not quite go back together properly. Its kind of wavy and there are gaps(hence the leak I think) where the edges meet. I did some quick googleing for some kind of replacement but did not find much except for portholes. I guess I am wondering if anyone has dealt with replacing those large static windows? it would look kind of funny if I 3 ports on each side but I find I keep the curtains close all the time anyway so its not like the big windows are an asset especially in the sun.
Leak 3 seemed to be coming from the starboard inspection hatch in the cockpit. I took it off and I can see why it was leaking. The screws were barely holding in the fiberglass so even resealing it is only going to last a little while. The cover for it is just a black piece of plexi with 6 screws holding it in. Is there a better solution for this? I can expoxy in the holes and redrill them but it just seems really poorly designed. Especially given that you can get to that space from the berth that is right under it and the headliner has an 8 foot zipper that lets you pretty much crawl right up in there. So its really kind of pointless. It does have the bracket and power connector for the autopilot controller mounted to it which I am still trying to figure out why they did not mount the controller on the pedestal someplace so you don't have to trip over the cord that runs to the motor(st3000 autopilot).
So any suggestions for the windows and inspection window?

Repair not that complicated. Remove front, lean top back, remove agitator, remove special nut, remove inner tub, remove seal. Clean shaft and seal surfaces. It is highly recommended to the spanner wrench to remove the special nut. It appears one can do it with a punch and hammer, but the nut is too tight, and corroded from years of water exposure. I believe part number is TJ90TB123A, about $15. Watch the video on this web site, very good.

A value-based framework is used for managing inventory. This framework allows firms to set risk and return targets for inventory related capital investments and operational management. A set of possible inventory investments is generated, and a value of possible inventory investments is then computed. The value of possible inventory investments is computed by first decomposing cash flows associated with the inventory investment into a combination of cash flows that can be represented by a portfolio comprised of long and short positions in an underlying asset. Then a valuation methodology is used to compute the value of each long and short position in the portfolio. The values of each long and short position in the portfolio is summed to determine a value of the portfolio. The value of the inventory investment is set equal to the value of the portfolio. An inventory investment with a best value is selected.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to inventory management and, more particularly, to a value-based framework for inventory management that enables companies to calculate optimal inventory quantities using financial tools usually used to manage a portfolio of financial instruments.
2. Background Description
Inventory management is a well-established discipline both in the academic and business world. The methodologies and techniques are also well known. The common objective of widely used methods is typically to minimize inventory related costs or achieve a pre-specified customer serviceability target within a budget. It can also be profit or revenue maximization. In general, one can classify inventory management problems into two categories: deterministic demand, and stochastic demand. In both categories there are well known models that have been developed over the years. For instance, the method of MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is an example of deterministic inventory planning. MRP is used in relatively more complicated manufacturing and distribution systems and therefore, in order to simplify the planning process, future demand is typically assumed to be a known quantity. An example to the second category is the (S,s) inventory model where an order of Q=S−s is placed when inventory position (inventory on hand+on order−demand backlogs) drops to s. Optimality of (S,s) policies were proven by Herbert Scarf in "The Optimality of (s,S) Policies in the Dynamic Inventory Problem", Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences, (Ed.), Arrow, Karlin, Suppes, Stanford University Press, (1959), pp. 196-202, and later by D. L. Iglehart in "The Dynamic Inventory Problem with Unknown Distributions of Demand", Management Science, 10, (1964), pp. 429-440, under more general conditions. Since then, (S,s) policies have received a lot of attention from researchers in both industry and academia. Practical implementation of (S,s) policies are facilitated by R. Ehrhardt in "The Power Approximation for Computing (S,s) Inventory Policies", Management Science, 25, (1979), pp. 777-786, and more recently by Y. S. Zheng and A. Federgruen in "Finding Optimal (s,S) Policies Is About as Simple as Evaluating a Single Policy", Operations Research, 39, 4, (1992), pp. 654-665. A collection of inventory models in advanced distribution systems can be found in L. B. Schwartz, Multi-Level Production/Inventory Control Systems: Theory and Practice, North-Holland, Amsterdam, (1981). For a more focused analysis of single-product, single-facility inventory systems, see H. L. Lee and S. Nahmias, "Single-Product, Single-Location Models", Logistics of Production and Inventory, Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science, S. C. Graves, H. G. Rinnooy Kan, and P. H. Zipkin (Eds.), vol. 4, North-Holland, Amsterdam, (1993).
Well established inventory replenishment methods such as the (S,s) inventory model are widely used across industries, most typically for retail, wholesale and manufacturing environments. The general focus of these methods is to calculate optimal inventory levels so as to meet customer serviceability objectives and/or financial objectives such as maximizing profit or revenue or minimizing cost. or revenue or minimizing cost.
Inventory management is perceived to be a different problem than financial risk management in company practice today. However, one can draw a parallel between inventory management and asset portfolio management and, using this parallel, one can put inventory management into a financial management perspective.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to enable firms to use existing financial asset portfolio management tools to manage their inventory.
This invention enables companies to calculate optimal inventory quantities using a technology that already exists in the field of finance. It expresses a large class of inventory problems as a combination of long and short positions and put and call options on an asset. In doing so, it opens the door for using financial tools that are available to manage portfolios of these financial instruments.
According to the invention, firms can set risk and return targets for inventory related capital investments and for operational management of their inventories. This allows a firm to put its inventory management within the framework of its quarterly, annual or long term financial objectives. As a result of this methodology, firms can position themselves more accurately vis-a-vis their financial goals. Because this will reduce uncertainty of achieving financial goals, it will positively impact the market value of a firm. This invention enables firms to use well established portfolio management tools that are developed in the finance industry in managing their inventory. Namely, they can calculate optimal inventory quantities that can achieve their revenue (profit) targets with an acceptable revenue (profit) risk. Alternatively, they can calculate optimal inventory policy that can minimize their revenue (profit) risk with an acceptable expected revenue (profit) target.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
We will look at a simple tradeoff that typically appears in many inventory problems. We will formulate the problem and illustrate that it can be modeled as an options portfolio problem. Then, we will illustrate the benefit of the portfolio approach in an example.
Assume there are n products. Subscript i denotes a product (or an asset). We will use the following notation:
For real numbers x and y, we define (x−y)+=max(0, x−y). The expected cost of holding a supply of Qi for product i is
Now, we will express these problems as a combination of put and call options. A call option gives its owner the right to buy an asset at a pre-specified price. A put option gives its owner the right to sell an asset at a pre-specified price. These options have a last exercise date beyond which they are worthless and therefore require the owners to exercise their rights that they are entitled to before this date. It is optional to exercise the right and there is no penalty for not exercising.
Let S be the pre-specified strike price of an option (strike price). Let P be the price of the underlying asset at a future point in time. Here, P is a random variable, and therefore the value of the option is a random variable given by
Notice that the term Prob(Di<Qi) in financial context means the probability that a call option of strike price Qi will expire worthless, or a put option of strike price Qi will be exercised. Therefore, ΣiProb(Di<Qi)/n can be taken as a measure of portfolio risk because it is the probability that put options will be exercised (i.e., claimed on the portfolio).
We will give another example. The profit function in the Newsboy problem, which is well known in inventory control theory (see Herbert Scarf, supra, page 297), is given by
This is equivalent to the value of a portfolio that consist of (p−c) units of long position on an asset, (p−c) units of short position on a call option of strike price Q, and (c−s) units of short position on a put option of strike price Q.
Typically, there are multiple products, and therefore the problem to solve is
Because optimizing a portfolio of financial instruments such as assets and derivatives has been well established practice in finance and because there are tools available for this purpose, these tools can also be used to optimize inventory problems using our conversion methodology.
This approach can be applied to all inventory problems where individual terms in the objective function(s) and constraint(s) can be expressed as asset or derivative values.
Table 1 shows a small example that uses Monte Carlo approach to calculate the inventory quantities that maximizes expected profit. Because this is an illustration, sample size is only 30. The same model can be used with a large sample size to make Monte Carlo simulation results more accurate in practice. The example has ten products with different prices, costs and salvage values as well as different demand distributions. Optimal inventory quantities as well as profit associated with the demand sample shown in the table are calculated.
This method can be implemented for all problems mentioned above (see Problems 2, 2.a,b,c, 5) or similar versions not specifically mentioned here. A computer system illustrated in
While the invention has been described in terms of a single preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Choosy MBA Students at Top Schools Reject Job Offers, Hold Out for Dream Jobs
Apr 3, 2014 | 0 comments
Some students at top MBA programs are rejecting employment offers and choosing to graduate without a job in hand, holding out for positions at technology firms and startups, which hire later than more traditional finance and consulting companies, according to a Wall Street Journal report yesterday.
"I'm not nervous," Ellen Cory, a second-year student at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business who has turned down several job offers, told the Journal. "I'm not behind for the type of position I'm trying to get. I've seen classmates get a lot of great jobs. And I have confidence that I will be able to find a job that satisfies me," she said.
Cory's attitude, which according to the Journal report is one shared by many students, reflects a big change from just a few years ago, when students tried to lock in their postgraduation plans as early in the year as they could. Now, with greater confidence in their own abilities and more optimism about the job market, students are holding out for the perfect job, even if it means graduating without a precise employment plan in place.
The Journal article notes that this year's information is hard to quantify because most business schools don't track job placement until graduation but added that interviews with current MBA students and career services officers show that more and more students are waiting for just-in-time spring hiring, particularly at tech firms and startups, which can't predict hiring needs as far out and so wait longer to extend offers.
"The current student population is definitely willing to wait for the right opportunity," Jennifer Bridge, director of recruiting at the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business, told the Journal. Last year at Haas, roughly 84 percent of graduates had job offers at graduation, but only 74 percent had accepted offers. The differential between offers and acceptances has historically been closer to 4 percent, the school reports.
As students grow choosier – and demonstrate more patience – in the job search, career services officers are changing their strategies as well, even coaching students in some instances to wait for the best offer, the Journal reports. A Tuck survey of 2013 graduates found that students who accepted jobs after graduation reported being more satisfied than those who did so before graduation.

I had to wait for over an hour to see him and then he was in the room 3 min. 2 min. 30 seconds of which he was fiddling with the computer he didn't know how to use. Evidently I was making him late for lunch. The second time I saw him he came in did the procedure took a phone call in the middle of it telling whoever was on the other line that he wouldn't be much longer and zoomed through the rest of it as to not miss his date. I will never go back to him and I'm having my stitches taken out by my gp.
Same doc I went to I agree w the first review go to another surgeon
When I think of the word "Doctor" , the image that comes to mind is a hard working, smart, open and personable person. This surgeon is completely the opposite. He is arrogant, snobby, and of what I can tell believes he is above everyone else. Do not give this guy business. Go to another surgeon.

Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing ExperienceRead MoreWhen NASCAR drivers really want to have some fun?and often get back to their racing roots?they?get dirty. The adrenaline junkies power up racing machines and race around dirt tracks at speeds of more than 100 mph, sliding around the dirt corners and getting dirtier than a politician in a food fight. Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing Experience lets speed-fiends?hop in the same type of Dirt Late Model or Sprint Cars the professionals drive and take off around dirt tracks across the country. They can ride in the passenger seat while an experienced driver careens around corners or take over the wheel after a 45-minute class. No racing experience is required, and family and friends are welcome to watch the race experiences.1500 Florida 40DeLeon Springs, FL US
FlyPhibeeRead MoreAn FAA-certified commercial pilot, Eric is well-versed in the operation of tandem hangliders, helicopters, firefighting aircraft, and light-sport weight-shift-control aircraft. As the head instructor at FlyPhibee, he demonstrates a different skill: piloting the amphibious Cygnet 3. Designed and approved by the FAA, this open-air machine features wheels and pontoons for a water or shore landing. Its paraglider-style wings help it climb approximately 1,000 feet per minute. On teaching flights, Eric charts a leisurely course along the coast?giving students a chance to soak up the scenery or helm the amphibian's controls.411 Walnut St, Suite 9411Green Cove Springs, FL US
The Challenge Mud RunRead MoreThe mad scientists behind The Challenge Mud Run spend their days playing with mud and surfing the Web for the ideal throwing axe. All that hard work will pay off when they host an intense 5-mile race that challenges the mind and body. During the race, entrants crawl through a dark, semisubmerged and smoke-filled tunnel, swing on monkey bars over a quicksand pit, answer a series of brain teasers, and of course crawl through mud while pretending to be the primordial life form that preceded the crocodile.30601 Country Rd. 433Sorrento, FL US
Run From HellRead MoreRun From Hell is like any other 5k. Obstacles. Trails through the woods. Hungry zombies chasing after you. As contestants dash toward the finish line, a legion of undead crawl, limp, and shuffle in pursuit, even running after their prey for up to 50 feet. Those who don't want to flee for their lives can give them up ahead of time and participate as one of the cannibalistic hordes, receiving a pallid, rotting makeover from a professional makeup artist.30601 County Rd. 433Sorrento, FL US
