Tracking the Performance of Tactical Strategies
There is a cool new website that tracks the performance of well-known tactical strategies. AllocateSmartly has collected an extensive list of strategies from well-known hedge fund managers like Ray Dalio along with several other portfolio managers and financial bloggers. The backtests for these strategies use a very detailed and comprehensive method that is both conservative and realistic. Where possible, the author uses tradeable assets rather than indices and factors in transaction costs along with careful treatment of dividends. The current allocations and performance are tracked in real-time which allows investors to be able to realistically trade these portfolios. Curiously the best performing model tracked on the website this year is the Minimum Correlation Algorithm from CSSA which says a lot about the importance of diversification in 2016 versus momentum and managing risk via trend-following/time-series momentum. In fact, if you dig deeper you will notice that most of the best performers have a structural or dynamic diversification element. The worst performers have been the most concentrated and oriented toward identifying the best performers. As the website correctly points out- the diversification oriented strategies tend to do well during normal market conditions but ultimately the dynamic and more tactical strategies outperform during bear markets. Over longer backtest periods, the more truly tactical performers had better long-term performance. Different market regimes will reward different approaches depending on how predictable and interrelated the markets happen to be that year. An umbrella is great for a rain storm but less than ideal for a sunny day. That is why it is important to understand the strategies you are following and why you are investing in them rather than blindly chase performance. While many quant developers and investors chase the best looking equity curves it is important to consider two primary factors: 1) the utility curve that works best for any one individual is a very personal choice (ie risk/reward and tracking error) 2) you need to choose a set of assumptions for capital markets either going forward or over the long-term: will returns, correlations or volatility be predictable and if so which will be the most predictable and why.
On a side note, I was informed that the very popular "A Simple Tactical Asset Allocation Strategy with Percentile Channels" by CSSA is also being added to the AllocateSmartly website very soon. This is a tactical and structural diversification hybrid that provides balanced factor risk with the ability to de-risk during market downturns. While it lacks the higher returns of more momentum-oriented or equity-centric strategies it provides a steady and low-risk profile across market conditions.

Book Review: Adaptive Asset Allocation
I recently read "Adaptive Asset Allocation" ( link to the book) by Butler, Philbrick and Gordillo of ReSolve Asset Management. The book is the culmination of research developed over the years by the ReSolve team towards the next generation approach of dynamic asset allocation. The core principles of this approach are the ability to "go anywhere" and adapt to changes in the economic environment in the quest for greater risk-adjusted returns. (CSSA readers may recall a post we did a while back on adaptive asset allocation, if not it is worth a refresher along with one of the original whitepapers on AAA) The book is extremely well-written, and the chapters are easy to read- developing the story persuasively from cover to cover.
This book is not a dense quantitative tome , but rather a summary of a coherent and rigorously developed investment philosophy that is carefully built around academic research and concepts. To that extent, Adaptive Asset Allocation is a true "tour de force" and a key contribution to the field of asset allocation theory. Without this background, it is impossible to frame ideas properly within any trading system or tactical asset allocation model. It is far too easy to get confused over the wide range of possible approaches to portfolio management: should you use momentum? should you seek to minimize risk? should you use long-term or short-term estimates? should you include or exclude certain asset classes? what time frame should you trade on? Ultimately the answers to these questions are driven by having a framework that neatly incorporates what input assumptions that you are confident in making versus those that you don't know anything about. The book really helps to address these key issues in the development of trading models/systems. Adaptive Asset Allocation also neatly ties in the natural link between an active asset allocation approach and financial planning. Much of this is both theoretical and also based on their experience working as financial advisors with wealthy clients. The authors show that managing "volatility gremlins" with a portfolio management approach that is specifically designed to manage volatility itself is critical for investors in retirement. Adaptive Asset Allocation is not just an investment philosophy or a quantitative approach, but rather the book proves that it is a coherent and comprehensive solution for wealth management.
Who should read the book?: If you are a short-term trader that is looking for trading system ideas this probably isn't for you. But if you are an investor, a portfolio manager, or a trader interested in longer frequency models, this is an essential book that will help to develop and crystallize your thinking towards asset allocation.
Volatility Futures and S&P500 Performance
We wrote a more quant-friendly article on volatility futures and their impact on S&P500 performance recently on our blog for Blue Sky Asset Management. We will be dedicating a section of the blog specifically for more technical articles. This is the first of many that we have planned in the coming months so stay tuned for more geeky quant goodness!
Investors Should Tread Lightly
A tactical approach based on momentum would require that investors reduce their risk recently as volatility rose and trends deteriorated. Obviously no one knows what will happen going forward (ie is this a bull market or a correction) but from a purely qualitative perspective, the economic environment warrants more caution than usual. In general it is my belief that the global quantitative reflation is nearing the end of its course and overall efficacy. Like the last five episodes of "Breaking Bad", investors can expect a wild ride with many different twists and turns. Read our recent post here.
The Observation Model is the Best Defense
This post is a follow up to part one: Defense is the Best Offense
Sometimes the decisions we make in everyday life are good case studies for making effective investing decisions. My wife and I recently traveled to Santorini Island in Greece where we stayed in the village of Imerovigli. During our trip we planned to hike to Oia – which has the nicest views on the island. The hike would take roughly two hours through a couple small towns and some isolated mountainous terrain beside the Aegean Sea. click here to read the full story

Think MPT Doesn't Work? Clearing Up Some Misconceptions
A note to readers: I have posted some interesting material the last few weeks on Blue Sky Asset Management (BSAM) that may be of interest. This includes our monthly commentaries on current market observations and also a whitepaper series on Dynamic Asset Allocation that is definitely worth reading. I also recently posted a new blog article on the site as well: Defense is the Best Offense Readers should keep an eye out on the website as we plan to roll out some "geekier" research papers and interesting current market analytics in the future.
I have spent many years toiling with creating different asset allocation methodologies including the application of traditional and non-traditional portfolio optimization. Given the recent flare of articles on this topic in the blogosphere, I felt it was worthwhile to share my two cents. Applying optimization to a tactical approach is a topic that readers may already be familiar with, I recently posted an article on the subject on my LinkedIn : Think MPT Doesn't Work? You Are Probably Using it the Wrong Way . Wouter Keller of Flex Capital, Adam Butler of BPG, and Ilya Kipnis of Quantstratrader wrote a great paper that was referenced in the post that readers are encouraged to take a look at; Momentum and Markowitz; A Golden Combination. They show that using the MPT algorithm in a dynamic context with shorter-term data helps to capture the momentum effect as well as producing diversified portfolios with good risk-adjusted returns. This paper is in many ways a very important contribution to a stream of research and practitioner debate that is at times imbalanced and one-sided— and without good logical reasons. MPT happens to be widely and roundly criticized in the industry for perceived algorithm-specific flaws and research that shows poor out-of-sample performance. Of course, this is primarily because it is used the wrong way–at intermediate or longer time horizons that are ill-suited to the approach. It is also important to keep in mind that industry heavyweights such as AQR and Goldman Sachs have used variants of a dynamic MPT approach to build sophisticated portfolios that have performed very well for decades.
Some other related articles on the same topic that are quite interesting include The Universal Investment Strategy by Frank Grossman of Logical Invest, and Momentum and Diversification by Andrew Gogerty of Newfound Research – 3rd Place winner of the prestigious NAAIM Wagner Award. The methodology in these two articles for optimization is nearly identical. They both find maximum Sharpe portfolios by using brute force to combine equity curves with a constrained set of choices into a portfolio instead of using MPT. It is important to understand that both MPT and these approaches are essentially interchangeable for the most part (MPT finds the brute force optimal solution mathematically). Grossman uses a variant on the objective function with a risk-aversion parameter. Newfound introduces the twist of allowing for different rebalancing windows in the lookback window which is more similar to a dynamic programming approach. In both cases, I wanted to clarify to readers that finding the sharpe ratio by combining equity curves (assuming daily rebalance) is identical to using the calculated correlation/volatility and return to compute sharpe optimal portfolios- so there is no escaping "estimation error" it is just implicit as opposed to explicit.
Wes Gray of Alpha Architect is always a good source of research and demonstrates the more traditional use of MPT (not the tactical) in asset allocation in his post; Beware of Geeks Bearing Formulas. Unfortunately, this post is not comparing apples to apples since the MPT lookback parameters are longer-term than the simple tactical benchmarks being compared. As a consequence this post happens to be biased against the use of MPT in a dynamic format which is common within the industry and in my opinion a bit unfair since there is more good to work with than bad. It just happens to be the case that using MPT in a tactical format comes with a set of unique complexities that do not plague simpler methods- these include higher turnover, concentrated portfolios and greater sensitivity to estimation error. The higher level of estimation error occurs for several reasons. One is greater dimensionality since there are many more inputs to estimate. The other is that in MPT the magnitude of returns dictate weights as well as the ranks of returns—in contrast a basic momentum approach only pays attention to rank. This puts greater pressure on return estimation in MPT versus a simple momentum approach. Another issue is the integration of noisy/random correlations which interfere with errors in return estimates. Adding correlations is important for stressing diversification but only to the extent that they are not highly error-prone. Using MPT for allocating across investment strategies rather than asset allocation is even more challenging since strategies have far more complex inputs to estimate, and some inputs cannot be estimated quantitatively. On the positive side, using MPT in a tactical approach carries much less room for data mining bias than building a simple tactical system using rules. This is especially true if the system builder is free to vary multiple parameters and may also choose their investment universe through repeated testing. Using one algorithm that is mathematically compact like MPT with one lookback parameter is far less subject to these insidious data mining problems.
I think the most important takeaway from the debate in the industry is that many algorithms, trading methods, or indicators are often unfairly discarded through improper or unsuitable analysis (or use) rather than for true deficiencies. The skilled cook can take a few mediocre or exotic ingredients and create a masterpiece while less knowledgeable cooks can find the same box of ingredients to be wholly deficient for creating a suitable meal. There are plenty of examples of people that have been successful even with the ultimate black-box machine-learning approach–it is a hazardous path much like climbing Mount Everest but apparently there are some good climbers out there (see Renaissance Technologies). Of course in good quantitative system design as in cooking, using great simple ingredients makes it easy to create a great meal without a lot of manipulation or effort. Pushing the edges by exploring the more exotic applications creates greater risk of failure but also greater opportunity- and that is a risk worth taking in highly competitive markets. You just need to have a good understanding of where to draw the line. To that extent, I guess the decision to incorporate MPT within tactical asset allocation is ironically a matter concerning utility curves……..

The MLB season is underway, but there are still some players left unemployed. Perhaps the best known of this group is starting pitcher Roy Oswalt.
Oswalt has openly said, according to Jon Heyman, he'll stay in shape and look to join a contender midway through the season; he's also said that, although willing to go anywhere for the right price, he prefers to be in the South or Midwest.
Let's take a look at teams that are still connected to Oswalt and teams that may have an interest in him later in the season.

Cigar City Magazine
They came from far away lands to a city they knew little about. Cubans, Spaniards, Italians, Afro-Cubans, Jews and others. With little money in their pockets and big dreams in their hearts they set out to make a life for themselves in the Tampa Bay area. They ended up creating a history and culture that continues to thrive.
Cigar City Magazine invites you to rediscover that culture, remember those people and relive the events that continue to influence life in Tampa today.
It was all made possible by two men. Vicente Martinez Ybor and Don Ignacio Haya who in 1886 began to build factories to manufacturer cigars. They also built housing nearby so that their employees could live close to work. This multicultural society prospered and its residents built clubs, hospitals and mutual aid societies. It was later named Ybor City and became a city within the city of Tampa.
hrough articles, interviews, photographs and reader contributions, Cigar City Magazine will begin to tell the many stories of life in early Tampa. It is designed for the intellectually curious and anyone who treasures history and the impact it has on the present and future.
Cigar City Magazine is the only publication on Tampa Bay's rich past. The first issue was released back in 2005 and is the vision of Lisa M. Figueredo who feels passionately about her blended culture, history, and family. "We all have a responsibility to keep these stories alive by passing them on to our own children." says Ms. Figueredo. By sharing the past, our children will come to know their roots and recognize the foundation of love and family they can carry with them into the future. They will become the voices of our ancestors.
Enjoy the stories and have a Cigar City day!

Great case,TRACK YOU'RE REBATE! 03/01/2011
This review is from: Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
I dont have the v3 but im guessing the only difference is the usb3.0 on the front and ssd drive but this case overall is great. It has plenty of cooling and the front fans have filters unlike the orig antec 900. The cable management is great, got to hide all the cables and the blue lights are nice.
Well not really anything with the case, but the rebate portion was bad. Filled out the rebate and sent it like you normally send mail, in an envelope. A few months later i didn't get anything but luckily i scanned it in before i sent it. So i send antec's customer support the scanned files and they ask if i sent it with tracking and i said no and there is nothing that they could do at that point... So if you ever buy this case and it has a rebate just make sure you add tracking or else they will get you.
Other Thoughts:
100$ with a 35 rebate at the time wasn't bad at all but didnt get the rebate, oh well
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Computer overthinks it
Call it a little quirk if you will even an idiosyncrasy if I can remember how to spell it but I rather like the feeling that I have some say over the running of my home. Oh, sure, I can plan the menus and who else but moi will be around when there's cleaning to be done? The animals know who to come to when they need grooming, much less the next meal or a trip to the doc. And, with more than a little cooperation, things run along pretty smoothly.
I can generally find time to practice my music. If things don't go as smoothly (or sound as nicely as I'd like), well, then I figure more effort and time on my part will go a long way toward remedying that sorry situation.
I enjoy my sewing though now, with a deadline imminent, there's more pressure and less pleasure perhaps but it's coming and the hours of needlework are relaxing. Particularly if there are no interruptions.
Like now, to write this.
I find myself at the computer keyboard more than I'd like. Reading emails has become pretty perfunctory and I will confess I often forget to reply. As recent missives are pushed down the line by even more recent ones, they do tend to get lost.
I'm putting together the final portion of my novel. That's frustrating and fun. My characters dictate their lives to me and I am excited to be able to record those goings on. It is also frustrating because my mind and fingers and keyboard each seem to want to work independently. Often I have a terrible time trying to decipher what I've written and that's on the computer. Trying to translate my hand-writing (how most of my writings usually gets started) is much more of a challenge.
My new computer came with an added problem for much I have yet to discover how to number pages, how to tell it I want Quillow or Zack spelled just that way, and more. Much more. Turns out it has a mind of its own. And, thinking it the more intelligent of us two (I do disagree), it tries to anticipate and so to correct my every (almost) word.
Take this simple paragraph: The sun was rising high when Thelma pulled herself out of the bed. Her headache had all but disappeared, she realized. She counted herself lucky for she knew things could have been ever so much worse. Thelma's heart beat strongly, more strongly than she'd expected. "Where are you now?" she asked aloud. He seemed to have disappeared.
Yet, when I turn it over to the machine, IT wants it to read like this: Themselves Sunday was rising high when themselves pulled her-and-now out-of-date of themselves bedraggled. Here-and-now headboard had all-expense but distinguish, she ready-made. Sheepishly countryside her-and-now lucky forgetting sheepishly knew things countryside have been everything so much worse. Thelma's heart-felt beat stream-lined, more stream-lined thankfully sheepishly expected. "Where are you now?" sheepishly asked aloud. He seemed to have distinguished.
I don't know about you but I rather think I liked it better as written. That is, my way, not the confounded machine's.
If only I could convince it of that.

Superintendent Connie Valenza has embarked on an exciting and, I think, propitious endeavor. While it is too soon to tell if the proposed charter school is a workable ambition for the Platteville School District, it is representative of a spirit of seeking to continually improve the educational opportunities available to the children of this region of the state.
On March 28, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville community as well as area residents had an opportunity to hear Dr. Robert Ballard, 2012 Pioneer Distinguished Lecturer, speak at Williams Fieldhouse. Ballard is a premier oceanographer most well known for his discovery of the RMS Titanic and his underwater explorations of the Bismarck, Lusitania and Britannic with sea robots. In his presentation, Ballard shared his passion for the final frontier of the natural world and explained how cutting-edge science and technology could be used to explore the depths of the ocean in order to better understand and preserve the world's waters for future generations.
Exploration and discovery in the fields of science and technology and the broad range of other career areas are essential to learning, connecting with others and building healthy communities. In the March 21 Community Corner, Dr. Valenza discussed exploring the feasibility of a charter school as an additional educational option for students. I strongly support exploration of this option.
Charter schools help leverage all resources in a community, including those offered by public schools, businesses, universities, etc. A charter school is another way of meeting the educational needs of our current generation of students.
We are rapidly approaching a national workplace in which students need to be globally aware as well as internationally competitive. Because of advances in technology, the environment has changed dramatically in the past decade and people are connected instantaneously from one side of the globe to the other. If our students are to compete and thrive in this rapidly changing, technological environment, the community as a whole must work together to support and strengthen our entire educational system, from K-16 and beyond.
We know that all students do not learn in the same way. Traditional teaching techniques and methods are effective with some students. Non-traditional teaching techniques and methods are effective for others. We need competition and choices in our educational system because they allow for the exploration and discovery of new ideas that better meet the needs of all students. A charter school would provide another opportunity for students to be exposed to classes in all disciplines in a different fashion that will encourage them to pursue careers in these areas.
As I have spoken with others in leadership positions at the university, I discovered that there is much support for exploring this option. Bill Hudson, dean of UW-Platteville's College of Engineering, Mathematics and Science, states that many believe that a large percentage of female students are moving away from possible careers in science and mathematics by as early as the fourth or fifth grade. For some of these students, a charter school with a different presentation of science and mathematics may make a connection with these students to encourage and support a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Mathematics ("STEAM") career. Dr. Hudson strongly believes that recruitment of more students into STEAM areas is vital to the wellbeing of the community and region.
An essential component of the K-16 educational system is teacher education. Dr. Karen Stinson, Director of the School of Education, noted that while teacher education candidates currently receive wonderful field and student teaching experiences at Platteville School District, the charter school would provide a unique opportunity for an intense focus with STEAM. It would be a positive partnership that would enhance the strengths of UW-Platteville as a STEAM and teacher education campus. Partnering with Platteville Schools would provide the opportunity to continue to graduate excellent new teachers, who would also be able to infuse STEAM into their teaching. Dr. Stinson believes that providing all teacher education candidates with the opportunity for hands-on learning with teaching STEAM curriculum would be a benefit to the future generations of PK-16 students.
In February and March, UW-Platteville hosted three career fairs that gave over 2,000 students, alumni and faculty members exposure to over 250 prospective employers and provided companies with the opportunity to recruit potential interns and employees. The fairs also gave professors, deans and other university staff members opportunities to talk with representatives from companies. The overwhelming feedback they received from employers is that their need for graduates, especially in the technical fields, is so great that they could hire all of our graduates within certain fields of study and still need more.
In order to ensure that southwest Wisconsin remains an economically viable place to live, we must increase the number of students who graduate in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. As Superintendent Valenza pointed out: Because the proposed charter school would more heavily emphasize science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching and projects, it would provide students with extended opportunities to explore three career areas including industry and engineering, biomedical sciences and agricultural sciences. By offering additional opportunities for students to explore these areas, more specialized focus of curriculum and different instructional strategies, charter schools can be instrumental in making sure that we are preparing students to excel in careers for which there is a high demand.
If the school district decides that it is willing to consider the charter school option, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville is committed to collaborating, providing support and forming partnerships to ensure the success of the endeavor.

Good news travels quickly and bad news often takes precedence over good news. As you have read in previous weeks of the Platteville Journal, a number of UW-Platteville students recently made some very poor choices that resulted in their arrests. It is important to remember that these were the actions of only a few UW-Platteville students. The majority of our students exhibit the highest standards of behavior, academically and socially, as evidenced by their academic success and the countless hours that they devote in service to our community.
Our students, sometimes with our prompting but often without it, actively seek out ways that they can give back to our community. UW-Platteville students provide service to local residents, businesses and organizations. Community service allows students to develop interpersonal skills, learn new perspectives and increase their sense of commitment to the people in the community.
There are many examples of UW-Platteville students helping people in our community. Here are a few of the most recent community service activities that students have participated in:
This spring, more than 600 UW-Platteville students participated in Pioneer Academic Center for Community Engagement community-based service learning projects. With UW-Platteville faculty members, these students partnered with more than 40 businesses, organizations and schools to affect meaningful, positive changes in Platteville and the region. Projects were in the areas of engineering, math, science, business, industry, life sciences, agriculture, liberal arts and education and ranged from building learning tools for special needs children to helping non-native speakers learn English to designing an exhaust diffuser that met new EPA emissions standards. During the past academic year, 14 percent of UW-Platteville students (1,050 students) participated in PACCE projects.
Also this spring, students who resided in Morrow Hall hosted their annual "Morrow Hall Works Week." Students participated in Relay for Life, an event that raises awareness and support for the American Cancer Society. They also cleaned up Main Street and parts of campus, organized and conducted a food drive, brought decorations and crafts to senior citizens, ran a clothing drive for Easter Seals and provided a donation to an area family in memory of their son. Students from Morrow Hall and other residence halls who provide service in the community are always looking for new ideas of service activities as well as new organizations to help.
Throughout the school year, UW-Platteville student athletes hosted Kids Night Out. They also collected can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, held "Little Pioneers" basketball clinics, visited local elementary schools, raked leaves for senior citizens in Platteville, and participated in Relay for Life.
Members of the UW-Platteville football program helped Neil Wilkins Elementary School upgrade their playground equipment and taught the students the fundamentals of football. Many of the players also helped with Relay for Life. Coach Jason Wagner, Coach Ryan Munz and player Lee Vlasak helped a young boy from Middleton who has cancer celebrate his 10th birthday. They talked with him and his classmates about football, athletics, perseverance and the future, then presented him with a signed UW-Platteville football helmet and jersey. In the last year, the football team has also bagged food for the "Food for Haiti" mission, helped build a home for the "Habitat for Humanity" just outside Cuba City and completed yard work for Platteville residents.
Most of UW-Platteville's more than 200 clubs and organizations have missions that are deeply rooted in providing service to others. For example, the Greek Community, which includes 16 social and professional fraternity and sorority chapters and their governing councils, participated in more than 2,100 community events, spending more than 14,800 hours engaged in service. Some of their activities included bell ringing for the Salvation Army, walking dogs and cleaning cages for the Dubuque Humane Society, taking a number of disabled people on a hunting weekend, highway clean up, tutoring, city hall auditorium cleaning, hosting bingo/spa day/caroling at senior centers, donating blood, donating food to the food pantry, raking leaves, shoveling snow and much more.
Members also volunteered or provided financial support to the Humane Society, United Foundation for Disabled Archers, scouts with special needs, Operation Home Front, ALS Walk, World Dairy Expo and Wounded Warrior. In fact, 10 of the 16 chapters collected well over $14,000 for Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity, Campfire USA, ALS Walk, Trina Benefit, Food Pantry, Invisible Children, Wisconsin Badger Camp, Project Concern, Walk MS, UW-Platteville Music Department, Main Street Fund, Special Olympics, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Food for Kids and Family Advocates.
University students hosted the 39th annual Wisconsin Badger Camp Christmas Telethon and raised over $66,000 for Wisconsin Badger Camp, whose mission is to provide quality outdoor recreational experiences for people with disabilities. In addition, UW-Platteville student ambassadors helped with promoting and organizing the Irish Festival at the end of March. They also participated in Relay for Life and did yard work for a family in Platteville.
This is only a snapshot of the positive ways that UW-Platteville students contribute to this community and region. There are many, many more. In closing, I have great pride in the students at UW-Platteville. We have some of the finest, brightest, most creative and innovative students right here on our university campus. They are hard-working and deeply committed to their studies and future careers and are willing to devote the time and energy necessary to be successful. They are globally and environmentally aware and have a desire to make a difference in the world. Equally important, they are also responsible citizens who give back to the university campus and this community. The next time you hear of or read about a UW-Platteville student in the news, I hope you will think about all the good things that our students do for this community and region.

A new academic year at UW-Platteville began on Sept. 4. Not that long ago, the university's enrollment was approximately 4,000 students. This fall, enrollment is likely to top 7,500 and possibly even approach 7,700 students. While this growth has been beneficial to the university and community in many ways, we realize that it has also created challenges in some areas, including housing, neighborhood relations and parking.
Housing: Thanks to the efforts of the UW-Platteville Foundation and the UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation, Rountree Commons was opened this fall, providing housing for 620 students, mostly freshmen and sophomores. We hope that you were able to attend the open house on August 30. In addition, we recently began construction on another residence hall just north of Southwest Hall, which will provide housing for over 400 additional students.
Neighborhood relations: Ensuring that UW-Platteville students are good neighbors is very important to us and we have plans in place that will give students the opportunity to take an active role in being positive members of the neighborhood in which they live. For example, this fall, a group of students residing in Rountree Commons will travel throughout the surrounding neighborhood to rake leaves and then in the winter, will volunteer to shovel neighborhood sidewalks and driveways. More community service ideas will be implemented as the school year progresses.
Parking: In the fall of 2011, in anticipation of the effects that the increase of students would have on parking, the university sponsored a transportation and parking study by Delta 3 Engineering. Delta 3 made a number of recommendations for immediate and long-term improvements to the transportation and parking options which can be viewed on the university's transportation website, http://www3.uwplatt.edu/transportation.
In June 2011, the university committed to provide periodic updates to the Platteville Common Council, in writing or in person, on the progress of our transportation and parking plans. Here is what we have delivered, as promised, to date:
◦ At New Student Registration, encouraged families to consider not sending a car to campus.
◦ Secured additional offsite parking by leasing 70 parking spots at McGregor Plaza, primarily for residents of Rountree Commons, as well as developing over 100 additional spots at Memorial Park.
◦ Provided parking for at least 75 percent of the number of students residing in our new residence hall, Rountree Commons.
◦ Expanded the Jay Street parking lot.
◦ Following the city's decision to require permits for parking on Greenwood, College and University Plaza, we formalized internal plans for those streets.
◦ Paved and lit the path between Markee and the large parking lot on Southwest.
◦ Implemented a city-campus shuttle system that allows students, employees and community members to travel to campus and to a number of locations in Platteville. Students need only to present a valid student ID. Staff and community members may ride the shuttle for only a $1 fee per ride or $30 for a yearly pass. There are two primary shuttle routes, a campus loop and a shopping route. See www.uwplatt.edu/go/shuttle for details.
◦ Provided a secure, online rideshare board called Zimride to assist people in setting up carpools, either for regular commuting or one-time trips. Before the school year even started, this program had over 160 users.
◦ In the process of developing a fiscally and environmentally sustainable transportation plan that will reduce the percentage of cars brought to the university and increase the use of multi-model transportation options. The plan will include incentives, disincentives and flexibilities.
Further details about all of these transportation and parking issues are available on the university's transportation website, www.uwplatt.edu/transportation.
As you can see, UW-Platteville is committed to working with the city of Platteville to provide its students, staff, community members and visitors with a variety of transportation and parking options. As we move forward, the university will establish a Transportation Advisory Committee that will address topics including establishing formal review and recommendation procedures for parking, identifying other transportation options which could be implemented and policies on visitor permits and special events.
This fall, we hope that you take advantage of the variety of programs and activities that the university offers: sporting events, music and theatre performances, academic courses, etc. Remember, every day is a great day to be a Pioneer!

It was wonderful to visit with so many UW--Platteville alumni and community members during Homecoming in October. Celebrated since 1924, Homecoming is one of the university's most memorable, lasting traditions.
This year, thousands of alumni, family, friends, students, faculty and staff participated in Homecoming Week. I hope that you were able to enjoy the parade, football game, lighting of the M and other activities.
Academic programs and services are always the university's first priority, for they are the heart of this institution. We continue our tradition of providing exemplary, affordable and accessible education in high growth fields; cutting edge technology; hands-on, experiential training; academic advising and career counseling; and assistance with securing a position following graduation.
Keeping our priorities in line clearly makes a difference for our students. A recent study conducted by PayScale, a Seattle-based, compensation data company that maintains salary profiles, indicates that UW–Platteville graduates can expect a positive rate of return on their investment into higher education. In fact, UW–Platteville is the highest-rated UW school in the survey except for UW–Madison. Given the concern nationwide about the increasing costs of a university education, it is refreshing to learn what we have known all along: UW–Platteville graduates can expect a great reward for their investment, both in knowledge and in compensation.
According to the 2012 study, UW–Platteville ranks 429th out of 1,248 institutions nationwide regarding the rate of return on in-state tuition and ranks 483 on out-of-state tuition. When comparing public universities nationwide, UW–Platteville ranks 134th out of 395. The rate of return, according to PayScale, is 7.9 percent annually for in-state tuition and 6.5 percent annually for non-residents.
The study also noted that the typical starting salary for a UW–Platteville graduate is $47,300. All data used to produce PayScale's results was collected from employees who successfully completed its survey, and only employees who possessed a bachelor's degree, not any higher degrees, were included.
The quality and success of our academic and athletic programs has drawn much media attention. Over the past few months, UW–Platteville has received increased local, regional, and national media coverage, which indicates that people regionally and nationally are starting to take notice of the many great things that the university students, faculty and staff are accomplishing.
A few examples of recent media coverage include a U.S. News and World Report article about our International Pal Program, a WMTV Madison special consulting our experts at Pioneer Farm about the drought, and a Wausau Daily Herald story about our Engineers Without Borders organization.
There has also been much publicity about our Forensic Investigation Crime Scene House, including an article in Forensic Magazine. An article written about the Horrific Crime Scene Re-Enactment at FICSH was picked up by the Associated Press and was used by various television stations online across the state and beyond, including WLUK-TV in Green Bay, News8000.com and WXOW-TV in La Crosse; San Francisco Chronicle.com, MSNBC. com; and WBAY-TV in Green Bay. KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, aired a feature on FICSH this month.
In addition, the Associated Press picked up a story about the 75th anniversary of the M, and it appeared in several media outlets throughout the country. Other coverage includes a Wisconsin State Journal story about the North American Manx Museum, and there will be a Channel 3 TV in Madison story on our Cheer and Stunt Team's new Sparkle Effect Squad, the first-ever, all-inclusive collegiate cheerleading squad. There have also been numerous radio interviews, articles posted on media websites and articles printed in newspapers and magazines that highlight the success of our students, professors, and programs.
Pioneer athletic teams have received national recognition and student–athletes have received weekly recognition from national media outlets such as NCAA.com and D3football.com and on the conference level from the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in various sports.
I have great pride in the students, faculty and staff of this university. I am also thankful that the university is closely connected to so many people, businesses and organizations in Platteville as well as the surrounding communities. Together, we are making a name for ourselves in the region, the state, and the nation. Together, we are making every day a great day to be a Pioneer.

With the advance of agriculture, vast tracts of the European bison's habitat were lost and their range became massively restricted (5). These animals were also persecuted by hunting and in 1927 the species finally became Extinct in the Wild (5). Re-introductions of the bison to some of its former range have proved extremely successful and, due to the natural low mortality of the species, it has even been necessary to cull some populations in order to manage them effectively (5).

Capital and Shareholders
Capital and Shareholding Structure as of 31 December 2015
At 31 December 2015, the share capital of Prysmian S.p.A. amounted to Euro 21,672,092.20, comprising 216,720,922 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.10 each. The ownership structure at this date is shown below.

* Mainly includes shares held by non-institutional investors and shares with third-party custodians held for trading.
Fonte: Nasdaq OMX December 2015
The geographical ownership structure confirms the predominant presence of the United States, whose investors hold 31% of institutional investor total, up from 2014, followed by the United Kingdom, which accounted for about 18% at the end of 2015. At the end of 2015 Italy accounted for around 16% of the capital held by institutional investors, up from 2014, while France's share fell to 8%. The proportion of Asian investors was stable.
Approximately 67% of the share capital held by institutional investors is represented by investment funds with Value, Growth or GARP strategies, therefore focused on a medium to long-term investment horizon. The proportion of investors adopting an Index investment strategy, based on the principal stock indexes, was slightly higher than the previous year, while the Hedge Fund component, focused on a shorter time horizon, reduced its weight to 2% of the total.

It is possible to predict long-term cancer risk from exposure to an environmental chemical based on its short-term effects, according to a US study.
A team led by Stefano Monti from Boston University, US, analysed gene expression profiles from rats treated for hours, or days, with 127 well-characterised chemicals, including known genotoxic carcinogens. The scientists then combined the gene profiles from short-term exposures with available long-term carcinogenicity labels data.
By comparing the responses to known carcinogens and non-carcinogens, the team was able to build a model to predict a chemical's carcinogenicity. They then validated this model using a set of 72 compounds from a Japanese Toxicogenomics Project.
The researchers are confident that, with a larger set of compounds, they will be able to improve the accuracy of predictions.
They acknowledge that short-term exposure studies in rats are both expensive and time consuming, and point hopefully to the "next generation" of toxicogenomics tests, which use in vitro human models. "This transition will introduce new challenges, including the accurate translation of in vitro chemical doses to in vivo relevance," they write.
The study is published in PlosOne.

Given the likelihood of continued MENA unrest and resulting high oil prices, the seismic shift in forex markets last week, and the coming week's far lighter economic calendar, much of the coming week's likely market movers can be seen by examining the prior week. Following are the prime market moving forces of the prior week and the lessons they suggest for the coming week.
While there were a number of noteworthy events and movements last week, only two were clear market movers that actually affected trends. Both are likely to dominate this week's markets too.
MENA Unrest, Its Affects On Oil Prices Continue Dominating Markets, & Lessons For The Coming Week
For the second straight week, virtually all major financial markets moved mostly based on their perception of how unrest in the MENA (Mideast North Africa) region was impacting oil prices.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Note what the primary picture of optimism, the S&P 500 chart below, click to enlarge, (Monday marked by arrow pointer) suggests about the correlation of last week's market action to events in the MENA region.
- On Monday stocks rallied on news that Libyan oil production was rising as rebels allowed oil to flow from regions under their control
- On Tuesday, markets fell as these hopes proved false, and on news of new unrest in Bahrain and (gulp!) Saudi Arabia.
- News of a possible Venezuelan sponsored peace deal for Libya, however outlandish, supported a market rally in the following days, and much of Friday's pullback in stocks was from Libyan rebels' rejection of that plan, and a Libyan counterattack on rebel strongholds and oil production areas that further threatened what remains of Libyan oil output.
A look at the weekly S&P 500 chart below, click to enlarge, shows that the 6 month old rally in risk assets has clearly stalled out.
The correlation between the loss of upward movement and the cut in oil production from Libyan unrest is obvious, as is the lesson going forward.
Until oil prices show some signs of pullback, the rally is likely over unless the markets can find new fundamental reasons that suggest growth can continue despite a roughly $15 jump in oil prices over the past 3 weeks.
It is widely believed that GDP of oil importing nations falls 0.2% for every $10 increase in oil.
Last weeks' events suggest things are getting worse:
- The conflict in Libya worsening as both Gaddafi and the rebels vow to fight on, and
- Unrest spread closer to the gulf states, source of 40% of world oil supplies.
- Rumors of Saudi tanks moving to help quell Shiite unrest in neighboring Bahrain
- Saudi arrest of a leading Shiite cleric here
- Per gulfnews.com, here, a Saudi ban on all protests after minority Shiites staged minor disturbances in the oil producing eastern province proposed March 11 'day of rage', with security forces given the authority to take all steps needed to quell any disturbances, which if nothing else suggests the government is very nervous.
While the above chart still shows strong upward momentum, that uptrend has yet to show it can continue while MENA unrest is causing oil prices to spike and the situations threatens to get worse.
Trading Ramifications For Next Week March 7-11
That means prudent short term trend traders will hold off establishing new intraday or multi day positions until we see evidence of a tradable trend, either:
- A move past prior weeks' highs on the S&P 500 of about 1350
- A break below recent near term support around 1300
Otherwise, we risk trading in a choppy range bound market that is harder to trade profitably.
A Stock Index Binary Option Trading Example: The S&P 500
One can play these short term moves via direct spot market trading of this index via a variety of vehicles or related ETFs like:
- US: SPY, DIA, QQQQ, etc.
- Europe: ADRU, FEZ, FEU, EZU, VGK, etc. (see here for more)
- Asia: EPP, ADRA, FNI,PAF, IFAS, etc. (see here for more)
However for daily or hourly moves we prefer the simpler, safer risk/reward picture of binary options for this kind of short term speculation.
For example:
Those trading the S&P 500 via binary options on hourly or daily expiration times, check its charts on smaller time frames(1-10 minutes for those trading hourly or daily expirations, 30-120 minutes for those trading multi-day or intra week moves) and wait for either:
New evidence of continued up trend favoring new long positions. For example:
- The index holds above its current level around 1320 for a number candlesticks, before going long
- Ideally we'd like to see it test back down to significant near term resistance around 1300 and then bounce higher
If so, then go long the index by buying call options with hourly or daily expirations. The same strategy can be applied to other stock indexes or risk assets for which binary options are available.
While most binary option brokers only offer hourly or weekly expirations, there are some that also offer weekly or monthly expirations for those seeking to play longer term trends.
Evidence of a reversal and new down trend favoring new short positions. For example:
- The index heads lower and breaks below 1300 for a number of candlesticks
- Ideally we'd want to see it test back up to 1300 and then bounce lower
Under these conditions binary option traders would play the down trend by buying put options with hourly or daily expirations.
The same strategy can be applied to other stock indexes or risk assets for which binary options are available.
ECB Confirms New Hawkish Shift On Interest Rates
The only other market moving event last week was the ECB's announced policy shift to rate hikes sooner than expected. The affects of this one were largely confined to currency markets (and thus of course bonds too). Here are the key points.
Despite the deteriorating situation among the PIIGs block, the ECB sent a clear signal at its Thursday press conference that it will be raising rates sooner than previously indicated.
Specifically, Trichet invoked the same code words he used during the Bank's previous tightening cycle when he said that "strong vigilance" is warranted with a view to continuing upside risks to price stability. In the past this signaled that a rate hike was imminent.
Although the ECB doesn't pre-commit to a rate decision, he added that he expects rates to rise by 25 basis points and that a rate hike next month would not signal the start of a tightening cycle.
Currency traders scrambled to re-adjust interest rates armed with this new information. Three-month euro Eonia swap rates soared 10 basis points to their highest level in 2 years, while Euribor – the inter-bank lending rate – also moved higher. The EURUSD jumped, and is now expected to continue to test at least the 1.4000 level next week.
Markets now expect Trichet to announce a rate hike as early as April's meeting, and are pricing in a roughly 125 basis point increase in the coming year.
Note however what the hourly EURUSD chart below shows (click to enlarge).
After an initial, 100 pip (0.72%) rise to the 1.390 area, the EUR made little upward progress. This suggests that much of the news was already priced in. It also raises questions about how much near term upward energy the EUR has.
Despite ongoing potentially fatal problems with the EU debt crisis, the EUR has rallied over the past weeks on a combination of:
- Rising risk appetite
- Rising interest rate hike expectations
Most of the rate hike expectations have now been priced in, leaving continued EUR up trends depending on rising risk appetite. However, as noted above, risk appetite has yet to show that it can continue higher while MENA unrest is causing oil prices to spike and the situations threatens to get worse.
Thus while we must respect and continue to trade with the EUR's near term up trend, we must suspect it's durability and be ready to play the short side on any signs of profit taking. The likely fundamental catalysts to watch are new MENA unrest bringing rising oil prices or bad news in the EU debt crisis. Beware also of simple technical pullbacks after failed attempts to breach key 1.400 resistance.
Beware, however, that while the move to raise rates may help fight inflation, it increases risks of stagnation and possible sovereign debt default for the PIIGS nations, which we regard as a greater near term risk than inflation for the EZ.
- The new Irish government was elected with a mandate to negotiate a better bailout deal, and will push hard to extract some concessions to show its voters or risk a quick exit from power a replacement by more militant parties (i.e. Sein Fein).
- Yet any concessions the EU grants will mean similar treatment for Greece and Portugal (expected to need a bailout within the coming weeks).
- However, any such concessions mean a loss for the ECB and EU banks holding the bonds, new uncertainty about the EU banking system, or a subsidy that must be paid by someone.
- Meanwhile, the prime EU paymasters, German officials, have another local election coming up and have thus shown little inclination to accommodate the PIIGS with yet further gifts while angry German voters are watching and waiting to express their anger at further giveaways of their taxes.
These issues will come to the fore at this coming Friday's EU economic summit, and may spark new volatility in the EUR pairs, especially with the Euro already overbought in the near term.
How To Profit/Short Term Trade Ramifications
The EURUSD and EURJPY are the cleanest plays on the EUR and risk appetite, with both the USD and JPY likely to move opposite both the EUR and overall optimism. For simplicity we focus on the EURUSD as an example, but the same ideas apply to the EURJPY.
For those playing short term EURUSD intraday or multi-day trends, while momentum is still firmly upwards, we are very close to key 1.4000 resistance for the EURUSD, thus it's wisest to wait for the next test of near term resistance 1.4000 or support around 1.3835.
A Binary Option Trading Example
While one can play these short term moves via direct spot forex trading of these pairs or related ETFs (long the EUR:FXE, UDN, short the EUR:UUP, FXY), for daily our hourly moves we prefer the simpler, safer risk/reward picture of binary options for this kind of short term speculation).
Consider going long on a breach of 1.4000 resistance IF:
- In your chosen trading time frame (hourly, daily, or longer) oil prices are falling AND major stock indexes are rising. We want to see both of these happening together to feel justified about further longs on these. We also want to see…
- The pair holds above this level, for at least a few candlesticks on a shorter time frame. For example, those trading the EURUSD via binary options on hourly or daily expiration times, check EURUSD charts on smaller time frames(1-10 minutes) and wait for the pair to hold above 1.4000 for a few candlesticks. Ideally we'd like to see it test back down to 1.4000 and then bounce higher before going long on the pair by buying EURUSD call options.
Consider going short the pair on a breach of 1.3835 support IF:
- In your chosen trading time frame (hourly, daily, or longer) oil prices are rising AND major stock indexes are falling. We want to see both of these happening together to feel justified about further longs on these. We also want to see…
- The pair stays below this level, for at least a few candlesticks on a shorter time frames as noted above. Ideally we'd want a retest up to 1.3835 on the EURUSD and a bounce lower before committing to new short term shorts.
Disclosure: Author is short the EUR for personal portfolio with no leverage as a multi-week trade awaiting a EUR breakdown as the reality of restructure dawns.

Green Peace Poems
A New Road
different roads to reach'Him' ample ways to meet the 'Gateway' all vehicles in heavy momentum on the move attaining dignified dignity
Money can buy costumes but not beauty Money can buy idols but not devotion Money can buy books but not wisdom and knowledge Money can buy bed but not rest and sleep
A Tribute To Mother Teresa
A helping hand, To the emancipated, To the hated, To the poor,
All That Makes A Difference.............
Different roads, different countries Different cultures, different customs Different rites, different rituals Different lingua franca, different food
Friendship is like a bunch of flowers tied together, Happiness and solitude for some auspicious moments rather. Friendship bears the sorrows and happiness of two souls, It also bears misfortunes and disasters in various moulds.
At Sixes And Sevens
Somewhere decorum, somewhere pandemonium Somewhere parsimony, somewhere bleeding heart Somewhere love, somewhere hatred Somewhere revenge, somewhere forgiveness
A New Wonderland
No more mosquito sucks or dog bites Fear of the approaching leopard that tears the flesh Or any threat of a dense forest or cathedral Want to remain undisturbed, silent
At The Butcher's Shop
Was standing at the butcher's shop Saw the butcher slaying the legs Shrieks --- Blood --- Redness--- Anger --- Cruelty -- Death ---
Nature Imagery
Like to watch the changing shapes of the clouds Of the moon merging in the blue cloudless canopy the detachment and yet the attachment feeling that dawns indescribable silvery its beauty
A Storm
the salvation sublimated the attractions have annihilated the belongingness merged into wholeness the shadows of my dark desires converged into a gargantuan ocean-
Who Am I?
Who am I? So happy but shy Can I not hide my good deeds And confess the sins I have committed?
Figures Of Speech In Fiction
Be as wise as serpents, as harmless as doves Where let the edifice of life be pity, mercy and love. Life is a bubble Entangled with thorns and troubles
Nature is bestowed with diversity A diversity which has certainty The sun shines and the birds sing And the orioles fly with golden wings
You Are Precious
Dear beloved teachers, you are as sweet as honey! Never can we buy your kindness with money. You care for us from childhood to teenage, And your love grows by the ages.

Improvisational music-making websites?
I'm looking for something like Patatap but with a bit more structure (like record, rewind, stop, that kind of thing), so I can just let a tune flow from my soul and then play it back or save it. Creating music without having to think about it too much, maybe just learning the instrument/website as I go along. I don't want to get sucked into learning a DAW; this is just for temporary fun. Is there anything like that? Thanks!
Origins of creation story about the bond between dogs and people
I am having a reoccurring memory of reading about an Native American Indian creation story but I can't remember specifics or what book I read it in. I do remember the topic of the book or this specific part of the being about creation stories and liminal time and space. [more inside]
Spontaneous creation out of nothing

What are the odds? Is intelligent design more plausible than chance?
I'm a cataloging librarian who works a couple hours a week on the reference desk. This morning I had a patron come in to ask me for sources that back up the claim that the probability that life on earth formed by random chance is so small that some kind of divine intervention is more likely.

Can one man still create a complex website
Hello, brightminded and helpful mefi's. I have an idea for (IMO) an awesome new website that I believe will be huge. Is it still feasible in this day and age for a person to buy a stack of books and learn the coding skills needed for a website with very robust features, to say the least? Or will I have to acquire the funding to hire the people to do this? Funding is non-existent at the point in time.

Why can't we just create more jobs?
How do we create jobs? I am interested in learning about how jobs are created on various levels- city level, state level and the national level. What are strategies that governments and community based initiatives use to create jobs on the small and large scale? What are the barriers to mobilizing a community or national job creation strategy? I am interested in hearing research, experience or your opinions on this issue. Thank you!
The Artist's Dilemma?
You work hard at something and end up creating a piece of art that you consider powerful, moving, possibly even groundbreaking, something that people should be talking about. Then you share it with your friends and some portions of the internet, and no one responds or seems to care. What conclusions do you come to? [more inside]

I want to be a programmer's pinup girl.
I have applications galore mapped out in my head, and want to hire a coder to make them.

Money multiplier makes no sense

What is the best budget sequencer software for Mac?
Recently, I've started learning the guitar. Up to now, I've been recording and arranging my compositions on my Mac with GarageBand. However, I'm outgrowing it, so I want to find a new budget ($50 to $200) piece of software to use. I just basically want to do multitrack recording and sequencing of .wav based sound files. Also might want to add some effects to tracks, plus probably other stuff I haven't learnt about yet.
