Sun fires another shot at NetApp
Although NetApp fired the first volley in its ZFS lawsuit against Sun Microsystems, Sun has been the aggressor since NetApp's initial strike. Following NetApp's lawsuit last September charging that Sun violated several of its patents regarding ZFS, Sun countersued and accused NetApp of violating Sun's patents. Sun has also asked the U.S. Patents Office to re-examine several NetApp patents.
Sun filed yet another lawsuit Wednesday, alleging patent infringement related to storage management technology NetApp acquired when it bought Onaro in January.
"As NetApp attempts to extend its product line, it also expands its exposure to Sun patents," Dana Lengkeek of Sun's Corporate Communications office wrote in an emailed statement.
The latest lawsuit filed in U.S. Discrict Court in the northern district of California claims that software NetApp gained from Onaro uses Sun's patented technology. Sun seeks compensation from NetApp for patent infringement and an injunction preventing NetApp from using Sun's technology.
Sun also revealed the U.S. Patent Office granted its request to re-examine NetApp's patent related to its "copy on write" technology.
But perhaps the harshest accusation Sun leveled against NetApp in its latest filing came in the opening paragraph of the suit. Chiding NetApp for only spending about $390 million on research and development last year and for holding "only approximately 200″ patents, Sun declared: "Indeed, rather than innovate, NetApp builds on the innovation of others" and "NetApp … uses extensive amounts of open source code developed by others, without contributing any innovation of its own."
Instead of demanding money if it wins the suit, maybe Sun should request that NetApp change its already-taken slogan "Go Further, Faster " to "NetApp: Built on others' innovation."
NetApp responded to the latest suit with a terse: "NetApp does not comment on ongoing litigation."
Joe Tucci's game of catch
As a fanatical Red Sox fan and a storage reporter, the whole EMC-logo-on-Red-Sox-uniforms thing has been a matter of some, er, ambivalence for me. It's also been the source of some trash talk between me and EMC acquaintances, one of whom–a Yankees fan–keeps threatening to send me one of the defiled jerseys. To which I reply I'll be ready with a seam ripper suitable for removing the patch on the sleeve. To which my father, who raised me a Red Sox fan, replied that I would be an idiot for not keeping it as a collector's item. But anyway.
Meanwhile, since the EMC logo was slapped on the Olde Towne Team for the Japan trip (and for the Japan trip ONLY, they promise us, but we'll see), Joe Tucci took a jaunt to Japan with the team and hobnobbed with the players at a gala reception last week. A gala reception at which Globe Red Sox columnist Dan Shaughnessy was also present, and witnessed the following, as reported in his column today:
Highlight of the trip, hands down, was EMC CEO Joe Tucci having a catch with Hideki Okajima at a fancy reception at the Sox' New Otani Hotel headquarters Monday. While 2007 World Series clips were shown on a Green Monster-sized LED screen, assorted clients and dignitaries – most of them Japanese – feasted on sushi and fine wines. After a few speeches and interviews with Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Terry Francona, a couple of fielding mitts were produced and Tucci lined up to play catch with the Sox' second-most-famous Japanese hurler. Standing in front of the giant screen, Okajima softly tossed to Tucci, who was about 20 feet away. Tucci made the catch, and before you could say, "Nuke LaLoosh," gunned a wild heater that sailed far high and wide of a sprawling Okajima and punctured the precious LED screen. I will never look at the EMC logo (which was on the Sox uniforms for the Japan games) without thinking of this.
Was that karmic payback for Tucci — a Yankees fan who dismayed Sox purists everywhere? Not for me to say. But I would have killed to be a fly on the wall–especially if I could have been a fly on the wall with a camera.
NetApp's slogan snafu
The UK's Channel Register broke the story yesterday that NetApp's new slogan, 'Go Further, Faster,' is kind of, um, already taken. By, er, Halliburton.
Eh, no worries. Not like that company is really well-known or well-connected or anything.
The Register weighs the two slogans:
On one hand, according to the Halliburton recruitment video, the company makes a habit of going further, faster every god damn day. That's consistency. On the other, NetApp's video has a 4/5 star rating on YouTube.
"Very cool!" says a commenter who we are sure is not an employee of NetApp. "Awesome," echoes another completely random observer.
(When vendors get all nitpicky with me, I wonder how they even deal with The Register, or if they just pretend it doesn't exist, since it's across the pond anyway.)
And of course you know EMC bloggers are jumping up and down and singing happy tunes about this little gaffe.
Another storage analyst defects to a vendor
Barry Murphy, formerly of Forrester Research, has been named the new director of product marketing for Mimosa, tasked with "expanding the company's eDiscovery and content management partner ecosystem and broadening awareness for and adoption of Mimosa Systems' award-winning content archiving platform."
The cynically inclined might say he already did a similar thing with his last major act as a Forrester analyst, the publication of two reports on message archiving products. The reports concluded that on-premise software archives (such as Mimosa's) are gaining more traction and are more mature in their features than hosted archiving offerings.
I don't really believe this was anything other than coincidence–the research for such a report goes on for months and the report was obviously started well in advance of this transition. It makes sense that an analyst whose expertise was in records management and archiving would go to a vendor in that sector of the market. But sometimes the appearance of a conflict of interest can be as problematic as an actual conflict of interest. At the least, from my perspective, it's unfortunate timing.
Murphy joins Tony Asaro, who recently resurfaced as chief strategy officer for Virtual Iron after a short stint with Dell, as the most recent storage analysts to head to vendors. It has been suggested to me that most analysts wind up at vendors or doing consulting, so maybe this is a natural lifecycle we're seeing.
Speaking of defections, it has also been announced that Dr. David Yen has left Sun for Juniper. Yen was formerly the head of Sun's storage group, who was shifted to their chip group following the restructuring of the storage and server groups under John Fowler last year.
Tape is dead, long live tape
Ever since I started covering storage, I've been hearing the disk vs. tape debate, usually including proclamations that tape is dead or dying.
There are good reasons to make that assertion. Disk-based backup is catching on, particularly among SMBs, and data deduplication is evening out the cost-per-GB numbers between disk and tape for many midrange applications. Disk is preferable to tape in many ways, especially because it allows faster restore times for backup and archival data. Once again, people are starting to ask, what's the point of using tape? Dell/EqualLogic's Marc Farley posted a funny video on his blog to illustrate the question on Friday.
I'm not so sure we'll ever really see the end of tape. When it comes to the high end, there's simply too much data to keep on spinning disk. The cost of disk is often still higher per GB, depending on the type of disk and the type of application accessing it. And that doesn't include power and cooling costs.
I've also heard lots of good reasons to give up tape. And maybe in certain markets, like SMBs, tape will die — if it hasn't already. But whenever tape is on the ropes, another trend comes along to boost it back into relevance. When disk took over backup, the data archiving trend kicked in, and tape's savings in power and cooling and its shelf life for long-term data preservation came to the fore. Now, as data dedupe has disk systems vendors pitching their products for archive, too, along comes "green IT" to buoy tape.
Now, I'd like to ask the same questions Farley did, because I'm just as curious to know, and because he and I may have different audiences with different opinions. Do you think tape is dead? If not, what do you use it for? Let us know the amount of data you're managing in your shop as well.
The economy and technology innovation
I love listening to NPR. I listen to, watch and read many news sources, but I find the stories they choose and the nuances they bring to their reporting refreshing. I was listening to NPR this morning when a very rare thing happened–I heard someone being interviewed that I've interviewed before myself. It's not often that IT industry news makes a mainstream general-purpose broadcast, so I paid close attention.
The pundit in question was Rob Enderle, a technology analyst I interviewed last month when EMC acquired Pi. After hearing his brief comments on the current state of the US economy and how he predicts it will affect technology innovation in Silicon Valley, I called him up myself and dug a little deeper into the matter with him.
Mendocino Software, R.I.P.
Not all storage startups either went public or got acquired for big bucks over the past two years. Mendocino Software sold little of its continuous data protection (CDP) software and found no takers for its intellectual property, so Wednesday it sold whatever was left at auction.
Mendocino did have five customers through an OEM deal with Heweltt-Packard, which rebranded Mendocino's product as HP StorageWorks CIC.
According to an email HP sent to SearchStoage.com today, "HP has assigned a task force and is working closely with each of its five HP CIC customers to understand their specific information availability requirements and to determine an appropriate plan of action."
According to the email, HP is offering to switch CIC customers to HP Data Protector at no charge for the software and installation, and will transfer CIC support contracts to Data Protector.
User response about NetApp and FC LUN snapshots – UPDATED
Last week, I blogged about discussions I've recently had with NetApp and NetApp customers about the company's messaging and products. One of the focal points of the debate was what users understood about best practices for overhead on FC LUN snapshots. A couple of users I'd talked to prior to reporting on NetApp's analyst day event said NetApp best practices dictate at least 100% overhead on FC LUNs, but that NetApp salespeople tell them a different story before the sale.
However, when I followed up with NetApp, officials told me in no uncertain terms that their most current best practices for FC LUNs dictate the same snapshot overhead as any other type of data: 20%.
After posting on this, I got another response from a NetApp customer disputing those statements that seems worthy of adding to the discussion. Here's the message verbatim:
Are storage vendors squeezing dedupe?
As the first vendor to make data deduplication a key piece of the backup picture, Data Domain has benefitted most from the dedupe craze. And now it has the most at stake when deduplication becomes mainstream. If all the major storage vendors offer deduplication, there goes at least part of Data Domain's edge.
That's not lost on Data Domain CEO Frank Slootman. He sees NetApp's decision to build deduplication into its operating system and use it for primary data, and the move by other large disk and tape vendors to put dedupe into their virtual tape libraries as part of a strategy to marginalize the technology.
"NetApp's and EMC's fundamental strategy is to make deduplication go away as a separate technology," Slootman said "NetApp has been giving away their deduplication, and we think EMC [through an OEM deal with Quantum] will fully charge for storage but give away dedupe. They don't want dedupe to be a separate business, or even a technology in its own right."
Slootman says he's not worried, though. He sees the biggest benefit of deduplication as an alternative to VTLs, and claims many new Data Domain customers use deduplication to replace virtual tape rather than enhance it. He calls deduplication for VTLs a "bolt-on" technology, where Data Domain built its appliances specifically for dedupe.
And he maintains that deduplication doesn't work for primary storage. It's not a technical issue, but a strategic one.
"Primary data lives for short periods of time, why dedupe that?" he said. "It doesn't live long enough to get any benefit to reducing its size. If data doesn't mutate, it should be spun off primary storage anyway. It should go to cheaper storage. It's the stuff that doesn't change that mounts a huge challenge for data centers. You can't throw it away, and it's expensive to keep online."
EMC Centera exec leaves for CAS startup
EMC's Centera has been something of a question mark for many in the industry over the last 6-8 months. Rumors seem to continually swirl around a major overhaul or replacement for the first content-addressed storage (CAS) system to hit the market. Those rumors and speculation persist even after hardware and software refreshes, such as the introduction of CentraStar 4.0 software last week, and despite insistence from EMC officials that no further major overhauls to the system are planned.
So far Centera remains the leader in market share and the best-known CAS product in the industry, but as we all know, the archiving market is heating up like never before right now, and other big competitors like Hewlett-Packard and Hitchi Data Systems have been refreshing archiving systems to compete better, to say nothing of archiving startups (or re-starts) popping up like mushrooms all over the industry.
Today, in an interesting twist, one of those startups, Caringo, revealed that Centera's director of technology, Jan Van Riel, has left EMC to be Caringo's VP of Advanced Technology.
Execs leave EMC all the time, often for positions of higher responsibility at newer companies. But there's a tangled, shared history between these players in particular. The founders of Caringo were also among the co-founders of FilePool, which became Centera when EMC acquired it in 2001. Van Riel was the CTO of FilePool prior to joining EMC as part of the acquisition.
Caringo's CAS uses standard CIFS and NFS protocols to ingest data, rather than a proprietary API as Centera does. Caringo's product can run on clusters of virtually any kind of hardware (one example they showed me was the software running on a Mac external drive). With this product, they find themselves in the strange position of launching attacks against what they view as the proprietary, hardware-bound nature of a competitive product that they themselves created.
Who knows if it really means anything that Van Riel has joined with his old buddies again, but he also made a public statement critical of EMC in the press release Caringo put out announcing the move: "With EMC scaling down the Centera unit and the future of Centera unclear, the chance to join Caringo, which understands the potential of CAS, and partner once again with Paul Carpentier was too good of an opportunity to pass up."
The plot thickens…

Paddy Englishman, Paddy Scotchman and Paddy Irishman come across a magic slide. The slide operator tells them when they slide down, whatever they shout out for is what they will land in at the bottom. Paddy Englishman goes first and yells "Gold!" and lands in gold. Paddy Scotsman goes next and screams "Silver!" so he lands in silver. Paddy Irishman looks down the slide and, being afraid of heights, closes his eyes and jumps, crying out "OH SH*T!"

Ah, so a bug free, vanilla-ish game as the base of this mod has been set. I guess I was more interested in #6 and what you are currently planning/ideas that will be implemented in the future. Happy modding MasterHero :)

Wow, why? Better concepts to implement by reverting back to original? Please elaborate :)
They look like mutated cattle that graze on tiberium... Not that that is a bad concept in itself, their attack could be to charge at their target. While a tiberium wolf-like fiend hunts these beasts going cloaked (camouflaged) when in tiberium fields. Never liked the original ranged attack of shooting tiberium and oinking...
Holy **** that's Scary!!! Now just imagine it doing 'The Ring' "fast forward" movement towards you! o_0
Cheap Intelligent to pick one off a scavenging or long dead stalker, but I'm sure traders or scientists wouldn't sell you that. At least not full price, hopefully you'll keep a clean version around for those stalkers who like shiny new toys. Or you could have different textures showing a gradual degrading of the item as the durability (health) of item diminishes. Hope this helps :)
Didn't think Ogres were smart enough to be mages... Nice work!
I like the intricate thought designs that you guys are coming up with. Really adds to the immersion factor! :)
Compatible with latest steam patch?
Mine Drone?
Ah, I shoulda thoughta that before commenting... XD Can't wait to see the new armor! :D
Honestly like the old skin over the new one, as it seems more logical to wear intimidating/apparent armor into battle. Also is that blade on the new skin attached to his wrist? Great Progress, keep it up! :)
What about the retail version? Wouldn't you have to manually install updates? So you'd only install the update that you are modding to, for us to play your mod... while you work on the steam version mod or fix. ;)
Hmm... that's disappointing, guess the times have changed or rl has people spread thin on helping others. But I believe the Reborn Mod Moddb.com has been used as a base for several modders and has just been picked up again by the NLS team. Plus there are other mods out there that have been abandoned or completed that could jump start your mod by recycling their material & crediting them. No one stays in modding forever, most are here to one day get in/a team/company and produce commercial games, so no worries, just keep doing what you love doing and others will join you.
I would suggest you ask some of the other Zero Hour modders if you could use some of their work as place holders, to speed up the process and show your concept (mod) of the game to entice others to help you realize your mod. The mod community is pretty friendly about helping others out, give credit, and enjoy their help/input. As you can already see some watchers are already offering their models to your cause, releasing your almost done factions for play testing will help fine tune and give you insight as to how enjoya/playa-ble your mod is so that the last two factions can be tweaked faster and implemented into the game. Hope this helps, happy holidays! :)
Amazing work so far! When will we see the Elves (High, Blood, Moon...) Faction(s) & Undead &/ Burning Legion faction(s)??? :D
Lemme know when version 3.0 is out so I can vote for it! XD
Yes, the zone welcomes you back Mac ;)

Cheap Numerous Mobile Gatling Towers FTW!

-Heavy Armored Vehicles Yes... unless they get Anti-Armor bullets option... 0_0
Was wondering if I could shoot down the helli for supplies? Before another helli has time to react and get to the location of the downed one?
Interesting effect, does this mean the pond in Dark Valley will expand or the ditches and basements in various levels will flood? Will our footsteps in this puddles be heard? Will there be a slow effect or possible slip effect depending on depth of puddle? Hmm streams, rivers, flash floods O my. This would definitely be a welcomed technology to the STALKER realm.
Well said, I understand your concept now, looking forward to playing it! :D
0_0 wow... sept 29 needs to get here already, I need to play this!
I think other players should not be visible until they are in the character's line of sight to give that feeling of "hiding" or "cover" instead of being able to see them on the other side of the wall due to camera angle. Just some constructive observations to further improve realism and difficulty :) Can't wait to play this!
I'd say make the game you want using real/true/futuristic life weapons systems/units that can't be "copyright"-ed and call the game C_ontrol & C_rush (C&C) how's that for spiritual successor? XD
And then it could be intercepted by enemies and the resources could then be claimed at the crash site.
As far as I can tell, it looks like you'll be getting that first prize :D
Ask Moddb.com if you can incorporate or work with him on his day/night cycle scripts, that would make this mod extremely scary and challenging.
I'm a survival horror fan, so STALKER is an all-time favorite game of mine. I was wondering if you'd be able to script item stashes in the game. Example, you open a locker and instead of some regenerated random item there waiting for you to pick up, you'd have the choice of stashing some of your items ...med kits..food...Atomic bb gun... ;p
The realism in me says the player should not be able to carry 18 weapons and indefinite amount of items. But then again survivors should not be thinking about making money in a zombie apocalypse... like miss "I still gotta pay for this trip"... Prices for food/meds/customized weapons (weps) should be high... the rest should be scavenged. I don't think the un-immune survivors would risk their lives stocking up on hoses, gears, nails, rags etc... but then again if these 'people shops' did not exist, there would be no need to have them in the game... unless we need to babysit them. Those people would better serve the game as making things for the player... example cross/bow, medicinal/poisonous herbs, things the player's "profile" wouldn't know how to do. Purna can create ammo, an engineer can modify her weapon to electrify the ammo etc...
Also, true a hat stand would be hard to kill a zombie, but the knockback/down effect would be greater, which would then allow the player to stand over the zombie and deliver a critical blow to the head of the zombie. Just some constructive criticism, great job on the mod so far! :)
Love your depth of thought, hope to see more of your creations!

I am posting in hopes that someone on the list knows, or knows of, a present day CHURCHILL, where ever he may live in the World, whose ancestors circa 17th Century lived in Devon. My English CHURCHILL progenitor came to the American Colonies in the 17th Century. We do not know his English origin. After years of research and testing we now suspect he belonged to a 17th Century family of Devon Churchills. We are looking for ANY present day CHURCHILL whose English ancestors were "of" Devon.

- On behalf of the Collaboration, Center for Audit Quality Executive Director Cindy Fornelli talks about initiative's origins, its top priorities, and the importance of key stakeholders working together. View the video on AuditChannel.tv, a site launched in 2011 by The Institute of Internal Auditors to address the specific needs of internal auditors and the business community.
- The Collaboration's second case study is designed to facilitate a discussion of how and when to conduct an internal investigation when fraud is suspected in an organization. For qualified instructors interested in teaching either case, click here to register for a copy of the companion discussion guide.
Closing the Expectation Gap in Deterring and Detecting Financial Statement Fraud: A Roundtable Summary
- Whose Job Is It to Find Financial Fraud? This Anti-Fraud Collaboration report examines expectation gaps within financial reporting chain.
< >
- The report identifies three central themes that are critical to fraud deterrence and detection—strong "tone at the top," skepticism, and robust communications—and explains how financial supply chain participants can incorporate these important traits into their efforts and their organizations.
- All publicly traded companies are required to have a process that employees can use to report occupational misconduct—i.e., the whistleblower program. How do you know if your company has an effective program? Our panel of experts provide insights into how leading organizations have successfully integrated the whistleblower hotline into the corporate culture. They make actionable recommendations that all companies can use to retool their existing programs.
- An ethical culture doesn't just happen—it takes diligence. Each of the key stakeholders in the financial reporting supply chain—the financial team, the internal audit function, and the board and audit committee—plays an important part. Not surprisingly, corporate culture is a significant factor in the external auditor's fraud-risk assessment of a company. Hear from our panelists how successful organizations leverage resources to reinforce an ethical culture, assess the effectiveness of anti-fraud initiatives, and implement changes to deter financial fraud. The panel will discuss actionable recommendations for steps to build a framework for an ethical culture, to evaluate the effectiveness of that framework, and to consistently reinforce the seriousness with which management views ethics, governance, risk, and compliance.

Even with sure things, there's no sure thing. Consider the fate of the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay — Part 1, the first part of the two part conclusion to the entire saga. BoxOfficeMojo had estimated that the film could take in $148 million over the weekend, but that was before we knew that the film pulled in just $17 million on Thursday night despite opening at 8pm. That caused the folks at BoxOfficeMojo to write that "Mockingjay absolutely should have earned more than this," and all but writing off its chances for a $150 million weekend. Could mixed review be to blame? Grantland's Wesley Morris, for one, praises Mockingjay for making you "feel as if something's at stake in this world," even if he resents how it ends (you'll have to see the film to find out), while Chris Vognar of the Dallas News writes that once "you accept that the splitting of Mockingjay is a business decision, not a dramatic imperative, Part 1 comes off as a curiously satisfying nonaction movie." One that might still end up a disappointment.
Remember that when watching the stock market continue its rally almost unabated. The S&P 500 gained 1.2% to 2,063.50 this week, a new record high, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1% to 17,810.06, also a record. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.5% to 4,712.97, its highest close since March 2000 and the small-company Russell 2000 ticked up 0.1% to 1,172.42.
Even more amazingly, every downdraft in the market was met with a response that pushed the S&P 500 back near positive territory, something that happened on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. It got to the point that by Thursday morning, Rhino Trading's Michael Block looked at the futures–they were down–and predicted they'd by up by 10:06 a.m. He was right. And on Friday it was off to the races after China cut interest rates and the ECB's Mario Draghi sounded readier than ever to start buying government bonds.
At these moments, it's tempting to get complacent–something Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders and team warn again:
Being a bull seems pretty easy with regard to US stocks. The near-correction of mid-October is a distant memory, new records for major indexes are being set on a regular basis, November and December traditionally have been quite positive for the stock market, and the third year of presidential terms is historically the best.
We, too, believe the longer-term trend is higher, but risks exist and more bouts of weakness and volatility like in October are possible. One near-term concern—sentiment, which tends to be a contrary indicator, is elevated, with the Ned Davis Research Crowd Sentiment Poll in extremely optimistic territory. Using sentiment as a timing tool isn't a great idea, especially with regard to the optimistic side, but it does suggest the market may be more vulnerable to negative catalysts. Additionally, foreign growth remains a concern, although exports make up only 13% of US gross domestic product (GDP), potentially limiting the impact on the United States of modest weakness overseas.
Deutsche Bank's David Bianco and team see weakness overseas posing challenges for S&P 500 earnings:
Given the challenges in many world regions, we think any acceleration in global growth will be muted despite US acceleration. We think a stronger US economy, stronger US consumer and dollar purchasing power provides significant help abroad. But if changes in oil prices are thought of as income transfers in a zero-sum sense globally, then real income is unchanged globally and lower oil prices will likely reduce capex incentives in many regions. We are convinced that weak oil prices will weigh on S&P 500 capex growth and curb overall US capex acceleration in 2015. Soft commodity complex capex and US exports will be a big challenge to Industrial Capital Goods companies in 2015.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich isn't so sure:
The Energy sector's effect on either market trend or earnings is not as significant as many might perceive. While many investors have been raising the issue of the plunge in oil prices and its potential influence on earnings, capital spending, employment trends, equity markets and consumer activity, reviewing the data suggests that it is not the end all. Indeed, there are offsetting factors like consumer-related business versus energy profits not to mention valuation…
Energy accounts for less than 12% of S&P 500 earnings and the sector comprise roughly 8.5% of the broad market capitalization. The energy segment contributed less than 15% of overall market profits for the most part going back more than 20 years and is below 12% currently. In contrast, the sector topped out at more than 25% during the misguided "peak oil" perspective of 2008/09. Notably, it often rises during recessions as a proportion of aggregate earnings since more cyclical domestic businesses suffer and the drivers for incremental hydrocarbon demand have moved offshore.
Let the games begin.
Yesterday, Sanofi hosted a seminar on new medicines in Cambridge, Mass., and RBC's Adnan Butt and team note that MannKind's (MNKD) inhaled insulin Afrezza "featured prominently enough." They summarize the highlights of the presentation:
MannKind's partner reiterated prior guidance that a commercial launch is planned for 1Q:15. Some had feared this timing could be retracted. In terms of pricing, Sanofi underscored that the benchmark could be rapid acting, injectable insulin, which is in line with our forecasts…
Focus on patients driving demand also important. As part of launch prep, Sanofi has conducted patient preference studies which show 60% of those starting insulin and 57% of those who need more insulin liking Afrezza's profile. The market opportunity could be meaningful given 66% of patients resist moving to injected insulin with the period of resistance being ~5 years. Patients described as the initial candidates for Afrezza include those who are on two or more oral agents and resisting moving on to injectable insulin and those who need meal-time insulin, where combined patient populations could be ~3M. Even adjusting for smokers or those with pulmonary disorders shows the opportunity remains sizable but where
greater Street confidence could require execution for a few quarters post launch.
Among other highlights: Sanofi demonstrated how much easier Mannkind's Afrezza is to use compared to Pfizer's (PFE) infamous flop Exubera, Butt said, and that Sanofi was in negotiations with the FDA over post-approval studies that could expand Afrezza's use.
Shares of MannKind have dropped 0.7% to $6.11 at 1:52 p.m. today, while Sanofi has risen 0.8% to $46.95 and Pfizer has fallen 0.4% to $30.31.
UBS strategist Matthew Roden and team note that it was another good week Gilead Sciences' (GILD) hepatitis-C treatments:
Scripts for Gilead's Harvoni during the week ending November 14 were released today with total scripts of 3,606, up +37% w/w. These data are strong in the context of feedback at AASLD that Harvoni Rx are being denied. This implies a total franchise new Rx (i.e. Sovaldi + Harvoni) of 7,424, up 13.4% w/w. For comparison, in its third full week (week ending Jan. 10th), Sovaldi scripts totalled 1,764, and mid-January scripts were 2,500-2,900. Current Bloomberg consensus for 4Q Harvoni sales is $1.8bn…
Scripts for Sovaldi totalled 3,818, down -2% from last week. New Rx were 1,079, down -3% w/w. As expected, the trend continues to reflect a shift to Harvoni for new patient starts following the launch on Oct 13. A total of 28,231 scripts and 9,090 new scripts have been recorded in 4Q. We are tracking to $1.04bn for 4Q Sovaldi sales based on script data (current Bloomberg consensus for 4Q WW sales is $3.2bn, post-earnings FOA consensus for US sales is $1.5bn, and we model $3.1bn HCV sales in the US). We assume 95% complete therapy (97.5% refill in months 2 and 3 each), a 12% gross-to-net pricing (more conservative than Gilead comments imply), a correction factor suggested by scripts vs. reported sales, and 10% of NRx are actually refills.
RBC's Michael Yee thinks Gilead's on track to meet Harvoni sales estimates:
Harvoni's week 5 NRx is tracking in line with our estimates in our Harvoni-APP and towards Q4 consensus of $3B USA. Note, the NRx this week, even though in line with our projection, may have been impacted by the AASLD Liver meeting that ended last Tues as many prescribers (hepatologists, gastroenterologists) were away at the conference.
We believe total Harvoni+Sovaldi franchise TRx needs to maintain current momentum towards Q2:14 totals to reach Q4:14 WW cons of ~$3.7B and 2015E US consensus of $12B.
We are looking for combined TRx to rise towards 8000+ through Thanksgiving and further towards 9000+ TRx in December in order to get to a comfortable run-rate during Q1:15.
Shares of Gilead Sciences have ticked up 0.2% to $100.76 at 1:05 p.m. today.
Hertz Global (HTZ) appointed John Tague as its new CEO last night, a move that caught some investors by surprise because he's an airline executive, not from the rental industry. MKM Partners' Christopher Agnew discusses the implications:
The Board favored the combination of Airline, revenue management/operational and merger integration experience over a candidate with car rental experience. John was Chairman and CEO of Cardinal Logistics Holdings (private), a leading transportation and logistics provider and private-equity backed company.
Agnew lays out the positives for Hertz…
(1) The announcement of a permanent CEO removes lingering uncertainty around the role for investors and the organization. (2) Brian MacDonald, who impressed in his short tenure as interim CEO, returns to focus on HERC which also needs strong leadership. (3) Hertz's issues in 2014, in our view, highlight the dire need for improved revenue and yield management. Mr Tague's background in revenue optimization at United Airlines (UAL) should be strongly suited to addressing this need. (4) John Tague's experience with mergers is important for dealing with legacy issues around the Dollar Thrifty integration.
…and the negatives:
(1) The new CEO has no car rental experience. (2) Hertz issues are wide-ranging and pressing; important strategic issues need to be addressed as soon as possible. The new CEO will need to take time to get to grips with the industry and the company. (3) The ongoing financial review will limit investor interaction with the new CEO, who is little known by investors, for an extended period of time.
Still, Agnew notes that another airline executive, Larry DeShon, who moved from United to Avis Budget (CAR) "made a very successful transition."
The market appears to like the choice. Shares of Hertz Global have gained 6.1% to $24.13 at 12:46 p.m. today, while Avis Budget has risen 0.4% to $59.65. United Continental has dropped 1.1% to $55.76.
Before you start throwing daggers my way for the headline, let me point out that's exactly what appeared in the subject line of an email containing UBS strategist Julian Emanuel's new report on the industry. He explains why he's excited about the financial sector:
In conversations with investors, skepticism remains high while interest in the Group remains low; however we see a number of positives converging that could prove to be a significant tailwind for Financials over the next twelve months.
UBS' view of the US in 2015 is one of continued equity market strength (Year End 2015 S&P 500 Price Target of 2,225), bolstered by a solid economy (GDP growth forecast 2.9%) and likely rising interest rates, with the Fed expected to begin the rate normalizing campaign in mid-2015, leading to a year end 10 year Bond yield of 3.5%. The economic strength (job creation in excess of 200k/mo. since January, continued house price recovery) of the past several quarters has boosted consumer confidence, which is highly correlated to Financial share performance, to post-Crisis highs. Two key underpinnings of the 2015 Outlook are higher volatility and a continuation of robust M&A activity. As evidenced by recent earnings results – US Financials grew 3Q 2014 earnings by 9.1% and revenues by 5.6% – a strong issuance and corporate deal-making environment combined with market volatility catalyzing higher trading volumes creates a near "perfect storm" for Financials. And if the rate hike cycle of 2004-06 is a guide, Financials will be able to weather Fed policy normalization and further yield curve flattening from still relatively steep levels.
Financials are certainly having a good day today. The Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF) has gained 0.7% to $24.25 at 12:24 p.m., while Citigroup (C) has risen 1% to $54.03, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has advanced 0.8% to $60.62 and Bank of America (BAC) is up 0.9% at $17.16.
Shares of beaten-down iron miner Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) have gotten a boost today after China cut its interest rates, giving a boost to the stocks of commodity producers everywhere. Wells Fargo's Sam Dubinsky, however, notes that China's steel production has slowed this year and that could be bad news for Cliffs if it continues. He explains:
According to The World Steel Association, Chinese steel production failed to grow in October, down ~0.3% YoY. YTD, the market is growing 2.1%, which is a big deceleration from the 9% growth recognized in 2013 and 2012…
We estimate incremental iron ore supply outpacing incremental steel production 3:1 over the next several years, which should weigh on pricing. Iron ore pricing is currently at 5½ year lows near $70/MT and down ~50% YTD and 10% QTD, though in theory could fall further as new supply is coming online at <$50/MT.
In addition to deteriorating iron ore prices, other negative catalysts for Cliffs Natural Resources shares include US iron ore contract resets in 2015 (Cliffs' seaborne spot index linkage for US will be $4-5/ton for each $10 move in the index vs $2-3 in 2014), potentially lower US coal contract pricing in 2015 (though a small percent of mix), and the potential for strained cash flows which in our view put the dividend at risk.
Those concerns, however, will have to wait for another day. Shares of Cliffs Natural Resources have surged 7.4% to $9.41 at 9:34 a.m., while iron miner Rio Tinto (RIO) has gained 4.9% to $47.53 and BHP Billiton (BHP) has risen 4.1% to $57.39.
Wolfe Research's Hunter Keay and team think Alaska Air's (ALK) valuation is far too low–and they blame Delta Air Lines (DAL). They explain:
Alaska Air is one of the best airlines in the global industry by any relevant metric. But its stock trades at a discount to other less superior airlines. The stock has mainly worked lately because of EPS growth, not multiple expansion. We think Alaska Air's recent valuation discount can be attributed to Delta Air Lines, who began ramping up its growth in Seattle in 2Q13.
During this time Alaska Air's stock has roughly doubled but its multiple hasn't moved much. Alaska Air's forward P/E multiple is up 11% since the start of 2Q13 (when Delta Air Lines began growing in Seattle). Sounds nice…but the composite airline forward P/E multiple is up 43% during this time. If Alaska Air's multiple increased 43% like the airline average then Alaska Air would currently be trading at 16x forward earnings, a multiple that we think Alaska Air fully deserves.
Alaska Air stock is shunned by many investors entirely due to competitive growth from Delta Air Lines. It's not easy to invest in an airline that's involved in a bloody turf battle, but this is what being a contrarian is all about… isn't it? Look at the data and see that other airline competitive capacity will be up 9% y/y in 4Q but note that non-Delta Air Lines capacity is down 1% y/y, including cuts from many low cost carriers like JetBlue (JBLU), Frontier, Allegiant Travel (ALGT), and others. United Continental (UAL), Alaska Air's third biggest competitor, is down 10%. Delta Air Lines has rolled up a lot of routes that were priced too low and imposed pricing discipline, allowing Alaska Air to charge more or to collect more bag fees (Southwest Airlines (LUV) is Alaska Air's second largest competitor).
The good news: Alaska Air knows that their stock is too cheap and will continue to buy back its shares, as much as "~100% of its 2015 free cash flow back to shareholders," Keay says. "Alaska Air is one of our best ideas in airlines."
Shares of Alaska Air have risen 0.2% to $54.35 at 9:32 a.m. today, while Delta Air Lines has advanced 0.1% to $44.02, United Continental has fallen 0.3% to $56.22, Jet Blue has gained 0.5% to $13.51 and Southwest Airlines has ticked up 0.1% to $38.91.

Few assets are more widely hated than gold. Over the past three years the price has fallen from over $1,900 an ounce to a recent $1,195, and with a strengthening dollar, virtually no inflation, and interest rate hikes on the horizon, the future doesn't look bright for the shiny metal. Which makes it an interesting investment.
"For a contrarian you can't find a sector that is more out of favor right now than gold," says Joe Foster, manager of the Van Eck International Investors Gold Fund (INIVX). The former geologist expects volatility to continue for the next few months, but with seemingly every headwind already pushing on the price of gold, it might take little to spark a rally.
One possible catalyst is a Swiss referendum on Nov. 30 that would force the Swiss central bank to bolster its gold reserves, though a recent poll suggests the odds are against its passing. Barron's technical analyst Michael Kahn recently made a bullish case for gold.
Foster thinks small and mid-sized miners such as Randgold Resources (GOLD), Eldorado Gold (EGO) and B2 Gold (BTG) are particularly well positioned within the gold mining space.
According to Foster, evaluating gold stocks is less about valuation metrics and more about the company's ability to grow and develop mining properties. He and his team break down companies mine-by-mine and run financial models to project production capacity and cost.
The performance of gold mining stocks is closely correlated to the price of gold, so it's not surprising that the fund has struggled lately. This year the fund is down a little bit less than one percent, well behind the stock market but ahead of the 5.8% average drop for its category peers. Over 10 years the fund has outperformed 99% of all precious metal equity funds with an average annual return of 4.23% according to Morningstar.
Barron's asked Foster to share five of his five favorite gold mining stocks. Investor beware, however: these small miners can be volatile, zooming higher when gold is in favor and falling hard when it's not.
B2Gold: The Vancouver based company's mine in Namibia is scheduled to begin production this quarter and reach full production levels next year. The mine has stayed on schedule and budget and could be a candidate for expansion in the future. Foster also likes B2Gold's recent acquisition of Papillon Resources, which is developing a "world class gold property" in Mali. "They've got a long development story ahead of them," says Foster.
Torex Gold Resources: The $1.2 billion miner is developing a property in Mexico, the company's first mine. Torex (TXG.Canada) acquired the El Limon-Guajes open pit gold mine from a previous owner, who had poor relations with the local stakeholders and failed to navigate the regulatory process. Torex has put the mine back on track with construction expected to be completed midway through 2015. "They've gotten friendly with the people on the ground and managed to get their permits," says Foster, "geologically we like the deposit too, it's a good sized mine." The company has also started developing a potential second mine in the same region.
Rio Alto Mining: Foster prefers small companies or "junior mines" to larger companies. "The large caps have really gotten too big for their own good," says Foster," it's very hard to sustain a large gold company." Rio Alto (RIOM), with a market value of just $815 million, operates a successful heap leach project in Peru. Heap leaching is an alternative method of recovering lower grade gold with much lower costs. Foster says Rio Alto has had success with the method and recently acquired another heap leach operation in Peru.
Eldorado Gold Corp: Eldorado is developing the Skouries Mine in Northern Greece. The company, which operates one other Greek mine, acquired the property in 2011 after a legal battle between the Greek government and the European Court held up development. Production is now slated to begin in 2016. The company also has properties in Turkey, which is one of the lowest cost environments for mining.
Randgold Resources: With the exception of B2Gold, all of Foster's picks are regional. Foster says the geographic focus allows companies to better handle the local regulatory and political situation. Randgold Resources operates exclusively in Africa, and mostly in West Africa. Foster likes the $6.5 billion company because it has one of the most successful discovery track records in the industry. Discovering gold deposits is much more profitable than acquiring smaller companies for their gold properties, the more common tactic.
After yesterday's announcement that Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) would look to exit its Bloom Lake project, Deutsche Bank's Jorge Beristain and team slashed their rating on the struggling iron miner to Hold from Buy. They explain why:
Stripping out [Eastern Canada iron ore] operations from 1Q15 onwards, lowers Deustche Bank's estimated EBITDA by an average of 5% over the next 3 years to ~$650m/yr, while reduced depreciation & amortization increases EPS. Incorporating estimated related closure costs of $700m (assuming $150m/yr in first three years and $125m/yr in following two) and
$71m legal loss in 1Q15, [net-present value, or] NPV declines $4/sh to $12/sh. However, we note some potential NPV offsets (not yet considered) include reduced maintenance capex and SG&A costs reduce could provide ~$1/sh tailwind. Should Cliffs be in a position to forego remaining $750m tailings dam capex, NPV could increase a further ~$3/sh…
Cliffs' price target of $10 [down from $17. Ed.] is now based on 0.85x (from prior ~1.0x) our revised NPV of ~$12 ($16), calculated under a discounted cash-flow methodology. Increased net-debt-to-EBITDA is becoming a source concern and reason for applying 15% discount to NPV. Risks include higher-/lower-than-expected iron ore and coal prices, possibility of breaching covenants (on reduced cash flow generation) and increase/decrease of foreign exchange rates, particularly for the Australian Dollar.
Investors don't appear too worried today, however. Cliffs shares have gained 6.3% to $8.69 at 1:35 p.m. today, even as BHP Billiton (BHP) has fallen 1.5% to $55 and Rio Tinto (RIO) has dropped 2.4% to $45.07.

Wellington 213 for 5 (Woakes 55*, Ryder 47) beat Central Districts 160 for 5 (Sinclair 71) by 53 runs
Wellington piled on the runs at the Basin Reserve and despite a spirited response from Mathew Sinclair, Central Districts could not keep up with the asking-rate of nearly 12 an over. In a game shortened to 18 overs per side, Central Districts were made to rue their decision to ask Wellington to bat, as Tamim Iqbal smashed 35 of the 39 runs he and Jesse Ryder put on upfront in 3.4 overs. Ryder went berserk after Tamim's departure, carting five sixes in his 22-ball 47. By the time Ryder was bowled by Peter Trego, Wellington were 104 inside nine overs. Chris Woakes and Grant Elliott had further punishment in store for Central Districts. Woakes blitzed his way to an unbeaten 55 off 28 deliveries while Elliott was not far behind with 35 off 18.
Sinclair launched a flurry of fours as Central Districts zoomed to 108 for 1 in 11 overs but they were still well behind the asking-rat. The innings started to stagnate after Sinclair was stumped off Mark Houghton for 71 off 43. Kieran Noema-Barnett tried but the final margin, 53 runs, showed just how dominant Wellington's batsmen had been.
Northern Districts 142 for 4 (Styris 68*, Mills 2-17) beat Auckland 49 for 6 (Scott 2-4) by 23 runs (D/L method)
Scott Styris' six-hitting spree was the difference as Northern Districts remained top of the table after defeating Auckland in a match badly hit by rain at Eden Park. After Auckland chose to field, there were two interruptions early in Northern Districts' innings. The game was cut to 12 overs per side, after which Northern Districts lost two early wickets to Kyle Mills. Styris walked in at No. 4 and raced away with the game. He hammered eight sixes in making an unbeaten 68 off just 26 balls while opener Anton Devcich contributed 28. After another spell of rain, Auckland were handed a target of 73 in six overs. They could manage only 49 for 6.

'The President's Marriage Agenda': How to reduce suffering for children and strengthen families
Largely unnoticed and unaddressed, "middle America" is abandoning marriage, with harsh ramifications for children, stability and the future, according to a just-released national report. However, specific family- and marriage-friendly steps can turn it around, marriage proponents say.
They outline their proposal in "The President's Marriage Agenda for the Forgotten Sixty Percent," the latest of the annual "The State of Our Unions" reports by the Center for Marriage and Families, which is part of the Institute for American Values. It produced the report, which came out Sunday, with The National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia.
The proposals for improvement include dumping marriage penalties and disincentives that discourage unwed mothers, the poor and those who are older from marrying; increasing the child tax credit; helping young men achieve and thus become more marriageable; offering marriage education for new stepfamilies; and generally investing in relationships. Those initiatives, the report said, "would save taxpayers money and reduce suffering for children and their families."
They define middle America as the nearly 60 percent who have high school diplomas but are not college educated. It is in that large segment of the nation's population that marriage has declined, while it has stayed stable among college graduates. As marriage rates have declined, more babies have been born to unmarried moms, poverty has increased and more.
"The decline of marriage in middle America has been tracking with the decline of the middle class," said one of the authors, Elizabeth Marquardt of FamilyScholars.org, in an interview with the Deseret News. Out-of-wedlock births have "shot up." Decline threatens children "who are already pretty vulnerable," she warned.
What marriage does
"Marriage fosters small cooperative unions — also known as stable families — that enable children to thrive, shore up communities and help family members to succeed during good times and to weather the bad times." If the middle class disappears, the report warned, so does the American dream.
The healthiest families are those where mom and dad married before having kids and where parents are well educated, which provides more financial stability. Marriage, the literal promise between moms and dads, anchors families, Marquardt said. Without good educations and that marriage bond, families are more unstable and the parents more vulnerable to economic forces.
With marriage, studies show family finances tend to improve, as do other indicators of well-being.
"It is true that economic success does put you in a better position to marry and people focus on that," said Robert I. Lerman, fellow at the Urban Institute and a professor of economics at American University and one of the report authors. "I think people should focus at least equally on the fact that marriage helps you gain economic success," including building up assets over time.
The fix
Vanishing marriage is a problem that national leaders have met with "silence, tentativeness or, worse, despair," the report said, adding that taking the suggested steps could alter that. Marquardt said accomplishing it would require "finding our marriage voice — a way to start talking about marriage again without it derailing into a heated debate about gay marriage." The report, she noted, takes no position on gay marriage.
"The reward is that for even incremental improvements, there are hundreds of thousands of children whose lives could benefit."

DNA Factor - From Superior to Inferior
in Spirituality
DNA is the building blocks of life. The very first two human beings are almost always spoken of as being inferior to modern man. This is furthest from the actual truth. The truth is that the first two human beings were far superior to any human that has ever lived, because Adam and Eve functioned as tripartite beings, ie having access to their human potential. When you join me on my next show, I will explain why Adam and Eve were superior and why we are inferior.

This product is more of a tan or soft yellow than a white. Mine came with a broken drawer so I had to return it. Also the drawers will come all the way out�no stops. However, I wish it had worked out because I love the rustic look of the wood edges and the size was perfect for my space.
The first thing we noticed when we opened the package was the putrid smell of a moldy old basement. We soon discovered our table came completely covered in black and white mold. The underside of the table as well as the legs were so covered, we immediately packaged it back up and returned it for a refund.
My table came quick and was just as pictured! I love how it's a nice solid and sturdy piece of furniture. The only down is the drawers don't have stoppers and they are very shallow so they come out when you open them.
I am happy with this table. The 12" depth works perfectly for the small space under my stairs. Several of my friends have given me compliments on this table, and it is sitting in the same room with some more expensive furniture that no one has said a word about. Due to its small size, there is not much space in the drawers at all, but that is to be expected. The table was very easy to assemble.
This is a fabulous accent piece. It was a cinch to assemble. It's heavy and solid, built to ast. It's very versatile. It can dress up a room -- shabby chic, or can be on the more casual side. This piece is unique. It doesn't look like a lot of stuff out there.
