In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Between 2005 and 2020, data volumes will grow by a factor of 300 – enough data to stack CDs from the earth to the moon 162 times. This has come to be known as the 'big data' phenomenon. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to handling, storing and analyzing data aren't adequate at this scale: they're too costly, slow and physically cumbersome to keep up. Fortunately, in response a new breed of technology has emerged that is cheaper, faster and more scalable. Yet, in meeting these new needs they...

The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) works to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards in the nation's dental schools and programs.
The CODA employs a collaborative peer review accreditation process to evaluate the quality of over 1,450 dental and dental-related education programs nationwide, including dental, advanced general dentistry, advanced specialty, clinical fellowship and allied dental programs.
The accreditation process begins when a sponsoring institution submits an application to CODA. The institution then completes a comprehensive self-analysis and self-study report detailing its resources, curriculum, policies and operational standards.
The next step is an on-site review conducted by CODA team members selected for their expertise in the program area. They conduct interviews with administrators, instructors, staff and students to verify information in the self-study and ensure that the program meets minimum accreditation standards.
The CODA team members then write a detailed site visit report based on their findings and share it with both the sponsoring institution and the Commission. The Commission meets twice a year (usually January and July) to review site visit reports and make accreditation decisions.
All accredited programs receive a follow-up site review every seven years, except for programs in the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery, which are reviewed every five years.
The following staff may be contacted for additional information about the Commission and its activities at 800-621-8099 or 312-440-4653.

It wasn't much of a day for good news around the globe on Thursday.
In the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces launched a massive ground offensive that took their 10-day military operation to new levels.
It's the first such attack in five years and it comes after Hamas launched nearly 1,500 rockets at Israel.
It's the pointlessness of the attacks that is so sad. Hamas keeps kicking sand in the face of the neighbourhood bully until they are attacked back.
Many of the people who die will be civilians and their deaths will be entirely in vain.
This ground offensive will eventually end and the uneasy stalemate will continue until the next time it flares up again.
Nothing will change but more people will die. It's an utterly hopeless sentence to write.
And that, of course, leads us to the fiery end of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
The plane went down with 295 souls aboard, including a Canadian. There were no survivors.
The Boeing 777-200ER plane was apparently shot down at the spot about 40 kilometres from the Russian border without even issuing a distress call.
That suggests a quick, violent end.
Not surprisingly, Ukrainian government officials and pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region all deny any responsibility. What a surprise.
But somewhere in the region a coward knows what happened. We'll have to hope that karma weighs in on that person.
Once again, it's unlikely that the deaths of 295 people are going to have any impact on the conflict there.
The sole change might be that international air carriers are now avoiding Ukrainian airspace.
In the United States, Microsoft trimmed 14 per cent of its workforce, cutting an astounding 18,000 jobs.
Since it's a global business world now, the cuts will affect people in Redmond. Wash., Finland and Hungary.
The cuts are the largest in the company's 39-year history and largely involve Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia last September. And every one of those 18,000 cuts will affect lives as good jobs are lost.
In Alberta, the search continues for the remains of a five-year-boy and his grandparents. Volunteer searchers had to briefly call off their efforts on Thursday after erroneous reports on social media suggested that police were upset their work. That led to a firestorm of criticism until everything was sorted out. Again, it's astonishing how malevolent people can be, even in grim circumstances where volunteers are searching for the truth.
In Ottawa, a sitting Canadian senator now faces 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery. Whether he is guilty or not, the optics are simply terrible and cast an undeserved shadow on all Canadian politicians.
Let's hope better days lie ahead.

Beware the Husband Hunter
Why Some Women Go For Guys Who Are TakenBy Elise Nersesian-Solé
A sparkly engagement ring used to be the symbol of ultimate security for single girls. However, a dangerous ilk of women is on the rise — those who don't consider a wedding band a deterrent, while searching for Mr. Right. They crave the excitement of a passionate romance, but one with an added challenge on top. In other words: They want your boyfriend or husband and aren't the least bit afraid to go after him.
If the tabloids are any indication, one may assume that chasing married men is largely a habit formed in Hollywood — from Rachel Uchitel's recent confession to bedding actor David Boreanaz (a married father of two), to stripper Michelle "Bombshell" McGee's tryst with Sandra Bullock's soon-to-be ex Jesse James, to (insert name of stripper-Playmate-bottle girl)'s fling with shamed golfer Tiger Woods.
However, this recent batch of philandering female star-chasers is indicative of a real-life trend that's been taking place for a while, say scientists at Oklahoma State University.
In a prominent and highly publicized study, researchers divided bachelorettes into two groups and showed them photographs of a hot guy — telling one group he was single and the other he was in a relationship; then, they asked the women how likely they were to pursue him. Only when the woman believed he was committed to someone else did interest in the male subject skyrocket.
So what gives? It's not like mate poaching is a new concept. The idea of seeking several partners — even those who are taken — well, that's classic Darwinian thinking. However, some experts say the more sexual equality females gain in society, the more Rachel Uchitel types are likely to come crawling out of the woodwork.
"Research shows that in societies where women are economically powerful, the more sexually and socially aggressive they are," says anthropologist Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author of Why We Love. "And today, with more men out of work than women (due to the recession cutting more male-oriented jobs), we're seeing women become bolder in every area of their lives."
There's even a chemical explanation for why many women pursue guys in relationships. "Any block to romantic love drives up dopamine — a brain chemical associated with love and reward," says Fisher. "That brain rush can feel addictive."
And, for the female mate poacher who Oklahoma researchers say bases her self-esteem on her looks and romantic status, that brain rush can be an intoxicating and driving force, causing her to view already-committed men with rose-colored glasses.
"Men in relationships have already proven their willingness to commit, which is a major draw to these women," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., sex and relationship therapist. "The possibility of landing him may make her feel special and maybe even superior."
But this high doesn't last for long. Expending all their energy on already- committed men is a risky business, says Kerner. That's because these men are often happy to have sex on the side, but are rarely willing to leave their wives or girlfriends.
Proof can be gleaned from Michelle McGee's infamous quote in Steppin' Out magazine: "I think men are made to spread their seed. Women need to accept that. If you're going to be married to somebody, you need to know that men are not meant to be with one woman. I think you can totally love your spouse and still sleep with other women. That urge will always be there, if you're a man. I believe you can love your wife 100 percent and still stray."
But in the end, both women get shafted. "The problem is, by expending all their energy on men in relationships, female mate poachers are overlooking potential guys who could be compatible long-term mates," says Kerner.
Yet, sometimes it does work out. Angelina Jolie — no doubt our generation's most famous mate-poacher — snatched Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston; five years and six kids later, they seem to be going strong. But in Angie's darkest hour, does she ever wonder whether one day she could become the next scorned wife?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano's days with the team may be numbered, and fans are taking shots at the coach.
During Thursday night's game against the Carolina Panthers, a couple of fans were seen wearing hazmat suits as the team has had three players infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Kicker Lawrence Tynes, cornerback Johnathan Brown and guard Carl Nicks have all been diagnosed with MRSA.
Another fan was a little bit less extreme:
Schiano seems well liked. pic.twitter.com/yNpDtH55i2— World of Isaac (@WorldofIsaac) October 25, 2013
Although fans were mocking Schiano, the Atlanta Falcons took the situation very seriously last weekend:

City stars join Itaú Unibanco's UK board
Brazilian bank Itaú Unibanco has named former JP Morgan Cazenove chief executive Robert Pickering and Gay Huey Evans, one of the highest-profile women in the City, as non-executive directors to its London-based operations, Itaú BBA International.
Pickering spent 23 years at Cazenove and is now a non-executive director at Neptune Investment Management.
Huey Evans served as director of markets at the Financial Services Authority from 1998 to 2005 before moving to Citigroup's hedge fund unit and Barclays Capital, where she was vice-chairman of investment banking and investment management. She currently holds non-executive directorships at Aviva and Clariden Leu.
Itaú BBA chief executive Almir Vignoto told Financial News: "They were chosen as part of a detailed and selective process among several non-executives in the UK, in order to provide a more diversified board, and [are] experienced in UK corporate and investment banking activity as well as the UK regulatory environment, based on their past executive experience."
Vignoto plans to have a 70-strong, London-based team by the end of this year focused on wholesale banking for the Latin American and European multinational corporate clients of its parent bank.
Pickering and Huey Evans are among seven non-executive directors appointed to the board of Itaú BBA, which received authorisation from the FSA last month. The other five are internal executives. Last July, Itaú filed documents with Companies House proposing a merger between its Lisbon-based wholesale banking division and the UK subsidiary.
In shifting the European wholesale banking headquarters from Lisbon to London, Itaú has based these operations alongside corporate and investment banking operations, a securities arm and an asset management business.

Attracting about 300 people and raising $13,000, last year's Wolf Back a Beer event proved such a success that the Mann Art Gallery is hosting it again, next month.
© Herald photo by Tyler Clarke
Wolf committee board chair Bente Huntley motions to the fundraising total she'd like to see reached by the time the March 16 Wolf Back a Beer event ends – about $60,000.
Attracting about 300 people and raising $13,000, last year's Wolf Back a Beer event proved such a success that the Mann Art Gallery is hosting it again, next month.
On March 16, organizer Bente Huntley hopes to see the gallery packed full with 500 people tasting 16 kinds of beer and enjoying various types of food and music -- from calm jazz music in the main floor pub to hopping dance music on the dance floor upstairs.
"It's been a long winter, this year, so it's nice to get out in the evening to have fun," Huntley said. "It's really a fun event."
The event is a fundraiser to help pay for a 1,000 pound, six foot bronze wolf sculpture by Saskatchewan artist Joe Fafard, which will be installed in front of the gallery, near the southern edge of of the Diefenbaker bridge.
"He's done so much work all over Saskatchewan, Canada, internationally," Huntley said of Fafard. "He has these bronze sculptures all over -- mostly cows and cattle. I think the wolf represents the north, (so) the wolf is the ideal animal for here."
Between last year's Wolf Back a Beer event, a musical fundraiser in September featuring Fafard's son, Joël, and private donations, they've raised about $40,000 toward the $100,000 wolf statue.
After March 16, Huntley hopes to see this fundraising total bumped up to $60,000.
With taxes, a ribbon cutting ceremony, a crane, transportation and other such costs factored in, the total fundraising goal is $156,000.
Speaking in the Mann Art Gallery's lobby, which boasts wolf-centred t-shirts, bags and other items and efforts meant to help raise money for the wolf statute, Bentley said that Prince Albert's ever-strong arts community has been very supportive of the effort.
It's been a long winter, this year, so it's nice to get out in the evening to have fun. Bente Huntley
In addition to their fundraising efforts, quite a few people have made donations toward the wolf statue, either as individuals or in memory of a loved one.
In advance of the March 16 Wolf Back a Beer event, Huntley needs to gather a group of volunteers together to tend the bar and taste-testing stations, serve food, take care of the coat check and help set up and tear down the event.
Tickets are $20 in advance and will be $25 at the door, if there are any still available. Admission includes five beer tastings.
This year's musical lineup will include the O'Kraut Boys, Java Time and the Bridge City Bards, with DanceLand DJ's classic rock lineup pumped into the upstairs dance floor.
The Fry Shack will serve pulled pork on bannock or a bun, onion rings, perogies, veggie platters, homemade French fries and fried bannock dusted with sugar and cinnamon.
Included among the 16 varieties of beer available for tasting will be special displays by the Prince Albert Brewing Company and the Saskatoon-based Paddockwood Brewery.
For more information on tickets or on volunteering at this year's Wolf Back a Beer event, call 763-7080.

Ahh… #traveling!
I am sitting in the Philly airport, en route to the ROI Global Summit of Young Jewish Innovators being held in Jerusalem. As referenced in a recent Social Media Press Release, the ROI Community was created in 2005 by Lynn Schusterman, an American Jewish philanthropist, in partnership with Taglit-Birthright Israel, and "is an international network of 600 social entrepreneurs and Jewish innovators in 40 countries on six continents who are creating innovative ways to connect to Jewish life." I feel honored to be one of the 150 social entrepreneurs whom will meld minds in this four-day mindshare happening June 12-16, 2011 at the Dan Jerusalem Hotel.
Last year, about this time, I was on my Taglit-Birthright Israel trip, blogging and journaling about my experience to Israel for the first time, pre, during and post the adventure. I recant how while in Israel in 2010, I truly felt the energy of history. At such a critical turning point in my life and career, I also become grounded in my passion and my destiny to be the best Artist I could be, with a voice within media outlets to share my dialogue and comparative notes while also finding creative ways to help foster, nurture and support my peers in my residence of Los Angeles and globally. I must say that since setting clear intentions for my goals in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv while on Taglit-Birthright Israel, I have been blessed with a wave of creative milestones, one of which is the reason why I am heading to this year's ROI Global Summit (ie. GenToGen - Podcast, Facebook, Twitter).
Though I have yet to start the first day of the summit, I am already seeing that where Taglit was the scratch of the surface, ROI will be the deepening of the itch for more Jewish innovation and engagement participation. We even have a twitter hashtag - #roicom, where participants can flood each other's twitter feeds with the latest thought or experience about the Summit. By the same token, the ROI participants were also invited to attend the prestigious Third Annual Presidential Conference, where truly we can look toward "Facing Tomorrow", though leaders in the future we are not because we are already leaders now.
Take a gander at these fellow ROI'ers, one of whom is halfway through the 2010-2011 Birthright Israel NEXT COmmunity Engagement Fellowship with me, Heather Wilk (twitter, @HeatherGWilk). These individuals are helping to make the world see LGBTQ individuals as people worth taking positive notice of, because we are people, just like anyone else; and I thought, "well, what better way to get more of their impact out to the masses than with a mention here at Oy Gay"?
Stay tuned for more blogs, follow me on twitter (@djnovajade) and check GenToGen often, as scheduled Podcast artist interviews are happening every two weeks. Possibly, a few impromptu interviews will occur while on my trip in Israel, June 12-24, 2011, too.
I love #roicom.
ROI'ers to Watch that are Making an Impact in the global LGBTQ Community

"Reports indicate that Matt Osborne, aka the original Doink the Clown, has passed away. A rugged brawler in promotions like Mid-South Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling, Osborne made a major impact in WWE under the greasepaint of a prankster named Doink — one of the most enduring personas of the early '90s.
"WWE is saddened by the news of Osborne's passing. Our deepest condolences go out to Osborne's family, friends and fans."
The sports-entertainment organization is celebrating Osborne's time as Doink the Clown, with a a look at his greatest moments as well as a photo retrospective. WWE is also asking fans to share their memories of Doink the Clown on the WWE Classics Facebook page.
ORIGINAL: Matt Osbourne, known to wrestling fans as Matt Borne/the original Doink the Clown, has passed away. He was 56. He had been staying in Texas recently, and was found this morning by his girlfriend. More details as they become available.
On behalf of everyone here on the website, I would like to extend our condolences to the family, friend and fans of Mr. Osbourne.

After 64 matches, the 2010 World Cup has come to a close with Spain winning their first title.
Choosing the five best games was tough—so tough, that I had to include five honorable mentions (in no particular order). I based these choices on which games provided the most overall excitement: the games that are most likely to be discussed four years from now.

Kylie And Kendall Jenner Bash Critics, Deny Fake I.D. Allegations
Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner have taken to Twitter to fight back against rumors that they used fake I.D.s to get into an adult club in West Hollywood two weeks ago.
The Jenner sisters were shown on the covers of several magazines looking exhausted in the back seat of a car outside Vignette Lounge, a 21-plus establishment that was holding a sex-themed event that night. The club's manager told TMZ that if the Jenner girls were in his club, it's because they used faked identification.
Kendall was first to address the rumors to his social media followers, writing yesterday, "I am so done with everyone making my little sister and I out to be something that we are not. shut up with these stupid rumors and stories.
"No one has fake ID's and no one's partying. we know that's what all you slimy media people want to see but that is not going to happen.
"We're smarter than that, we have goals and personally I think it's sad that some people sit at their desk making things up about girls that are trying to have a career just like everybody else. Get over it. No story here."
Minutes later Kylie continued the conversation, writing, "Bout to be straight up because I'm sick & tired of the rumors this past week.
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but Kendall & I will not grow up to be let downs. I know that's what some people would unfortunately like to see but I'm not going to sit around and let grown adults create untrue stories about me underage drinking & partying every night with a fake I.D."
Kylie then claimed, "And F.Y.I. regarding the "club nights", I was with my father & family supporting my brother and sister-in-law. We can stop with all the stories now."
Her final post was, "And to all the young girls out there just like me, carry yourself with class and dignity and don't let ANYONE determine your future."
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is currently investigating the situation and has asked for security camera footage to determine who is at fault for the alleged admission of the underage girls.

Today I am releasing two new applications that I developed last week. They are part of a suite of utilities that I've labelled Serval Maps Utils. The aim of these applications is to make it easier to work with data related to the use of Serval Maps. The first two applications are focused on the use of mapsforge data.
For those not familiar with mapsforge it is the map rendering library, and associated binary map data format, that is used to underpin the Serval Maps application.
The first application is called MapFileIndex. The purpose of this application is to generate an index file for a repository of mapsforge data files. The index file will make it easier to work with the Serval Maps Download Service which is currently under development.
The second application is called MapFileTester. The purpose of this application is to check to ensure that all map data files in a repository are valid. If a file is found to be not valid an error text is output to the screen.
Both of these application are written in Java and use a command-line interface.
As with all Serval Maps related applications the source code is available via the Serval Project git repository.
We encourage you to checkout the applications and let us know if you have any feedback.

The Christmas holiday season should be in full swing in Harrisonville by the end of the weekend.
A line-up of festivities have been organized by the city of Harrisonville, the Harrisonville Chamber of Commerce and several other local groups are sure to spread holiday cheer beginning Saturday, Dec. 7.
Holiday Craft Show
The day will begin with a Holiday Craft Show from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at the Harrisonville Community Center, 2400 Jefferson Pkwy., in the gymnasium.
The holiday shopping opportunity will feature a selection of crafts and gifts presented by area merchants and artisans.
Christmas in the Cabin
Families in the community are invited to help decorate the historic Sharp-Hopper Log Cabin, 400 E. Mechanic St., Harrisonville, for an 1870s Christmas.
"Christmas in the Cabin" will be 2-4 p.m. Saturday and is an event sponsored by the chamber and Cass County Historical Society. Participants will be able to make old-fashioned holiday ornaments and wall decorations, help string garland around the fireplace mantels, decorate Christmas trees, and sew stockings to be hung "by the chimney with care." An 1870s Santa Claus will also be at the cabin along with his sleigh.
Mayor's Christmas
Tree Lighting
Harrisonville Mayor Kevin Wood will flip the switch to light up the Mayor's Christmas Tree at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Marler-Wirt-Allen Park, located at the corner of S. Independence and Mechanic Streets.
Santa Claus will arrive in a vintage red Pontiac convertible and stay to hear all the children's Christmas wishes.
Special musical guests from First Christian Church in Harrisonville will lead participants in carols following the tree lighting. Individuals will also have the opportunity to go Christmas caroling at local nursing homes throughout the area following the event.
Harrisonville Chamber President Obie Carl said he hopes the festivities will help area residents get into the holiday spirit. "We hope to bring people in town," he said.
Carl said the chamber is working to bring back Harrisonville's traditional Christmas event on the Square.
"Next year the chamber is planning to get that revived with the Santa, hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and perhaps go back to the horse-drawn wagon hay rides," he said. "We used to have a big crowd for that years ago."
Live Nativity Scene
The merriment of the season will continue into the evening at the First Christian Church, 400 S. Independence St. with a live nativity scene on display from 6-8 p.m. Saturday.
The tradition, in its fifth year, promises to delight the young and the old. Guests are instructed to enter the nativity scene from Washington Street, and are encouraged to bring a food or monetary donation for the Shepherd's Staff Food Pantry.
Christmas Homes Tour
The 16th annual Christmas Homes Tour hosted by the Harrisonville Business Women of Missouri will be 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8.
Participating homes include the Travis residence, 26208 S. Southwood Rd., Harrisonville; Atkinson residence, 23405 E. State Hwy. 2, Harrisonville; Reece residence, 400 E. Pearl St., Harrisonville; and the Creekmoor Visitor's Center, 825 Creekmoor Pond Ln., Raymore.
"We expect them to be interestingly decorated," Homes Tour chairwoman Meryline Kramer said. "The Harrisonville Business Women have been here since 1928 and appreciates the support from the community for the only fundraiser that goes to our organization."
Kramer said one of the homes will be featuring a large nutcracker display. She also noted that the home in Raymore was decorated by a professional interior designer.
Tickets are $10 and are on sale at any of the houses on the day of the tour and at the Harrisonville Chamber of Commerce, 2819 Cantrell Rd., during regular business hours.
The HBW organization helps support several causes throughout the year, including Hope Haven and developmentally disabled persons in Cass County.

Grab some popcorn and read the following excerpt lifted from the Seeking Alpha transcript of Netflix's (NASDAQ:NFLX) Q4 conference call:
Ellie Mertz: Looking at your Q1 guidance and utilizing the midpoint, it seems that your guidance is suggesting that a DVD subscriber is contributing about 6x more to profits than a streaming subscriber, or around $15 per DVD customer but only $2.50 for a streaming customer. Do you still feel it is a wise strategy to push customers towards the streaming service? And if so, what effects do you anticipate on long-term margins?
David Wells: The analysis is well intentioned, I'm sure, but it's looking -- not looking at the marginal cost and the marginal increment, which is the important one. So a marginal streaming subscriber is almost pure contribution margin. There's a little bit for credit cards, CS and CDMCs [ph], but it's pretty modest. A marginal DVD subscriber has a number of variable costs, the postage and DVD fees in particular. So actually, it's the opposite, which is the profitability of a new streaming subscriber, the contribution margin is almost twice what it is for a DVD subscriber. So that's the way we think about it. And we're -- we'd like to have someone use both services because obviously, that's both more revenue and more profit. But if they were only going to use one, we'd much prefer them use the streaming service.
I made a mistake in a previous article. I attributed the words of Netflix CFO David Wells to the company's CEO Reed Hastings. The last thing I want to do is associate Hastings with any more illogic. Some NFLX bears have commented or written me noting that Wells flat out lied in that blurb. That's not true. He did not tell a lie, but he was, in my opinion, being unbelievably disingenuous.
Wells counts beans. And he's probably very good at it. That said, I could be completely misunderstanding what he said. If I am, I encourage him to use his CEO's Seeking Alpha account or create his own to write an article setting the record straight.
When discussing the value of DVD versus streaming subscribers, Wells compares the costs associated with servicing each type of user. I dislike using Wikipedia as a source, but it provides a pretty accessible definition of a potentially confusing concept Wells discussed - marginal cost:
In general terms, marginal cost at each level of production includes any additional costs required to produce the next unit. If producing additional vehicles requires, for example, building a new factory, the marginal cost of those extra vehicles includes the cost of the new factory. In practice, the analysis is segregated into short and long-run cases, and over the longest run, all costs are marginal. At each level of production and time period being considered, marginal costs include all costs that vary with the level of production, and other costs are considered fixed costs...
Marginal Costs are not affected by changes in fixed cost. Marginal costs can be expressed as ∆C(q)∕∆Q. Since fixed costs do not vary with (depend on) changes in quantity, MC is ∆VC∕∆Q. Thus if fixed cost were to double MC would not be affected and consequently the profit maximizing quantity and price would not change.
Wells, in the earlier quote, classifies postage, DVD fees and credit card fees as variable costs, in that they change as subscriber habits and usage changes. He notes that DVD subscribers rack up considerably more variable costs (postage, DVD fees) than streaming subscribers who only trigger "pretty modest" variable costs.
Netflix realizes a considerable chunk of its digital content expenses as an asset when it hits the balance sheet. The company categorizes the money it pays for streaming content as a fixed cost, "Thus if fixed cost were to double MC would not be affected and consequently the profit maximizing quantity and price would not change."
To call streaming content expenses fixed is what triggers some observers to call out Netflix executives out as liars. Again, I do not think they are lying, per se. I do not think it's quite that clearcut. The words misleading and disingenuous come to mind, however, when I consider Wells' case that "the profitability of a new streaming subscriber, the contribution margin is almost twice what it is for a DVD subscriber." That part is simply untrue.
TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld set it out as plain as plain can be in his post-earnings NFLX article, Netflix Streaming Margins Are 11%, DVD Margins 52%. Schonfeld's piece could not be anymore clear. It reconciles like a glass of ice cold water in the face with the numbers Netflix itself publishes (but not with what Wells said):

So, Wells - and by association and extension, Hastings - says that "the profitability of a new streaming subscriber, the contribution margin is almost twice what it is for a DVD subscriber." That's simply not the case. The data Netflix provides, without even the slightest hint of a question, proves this.
Until Wells or Hastings offers an alternative explanation all I can think is that the CFO was making a "forward-looking statement." Like his incredibly confident CEO, Wells was confusing Netflix's long-term vision of how things should be with how things really are. This is not the first time the company resided in a reality that's distinct from the rest of the world. If Hastings' DVD flip flop over the course of six months does not call into question anything and everything spokespeople for this company say, I am not sure what does:
Here's what Netflix had to say about DVD in its Q2 shareholder letter from July:
In addition to separating the plans, we are setting up a dedicated DVD division, led by twelve-year Netflix veteran Andy Rendich, to focus on running a successful DVD by mail service in the U.S. for a long time. Andy and his team will be located nearby in San Jose, and are already planning some great improvements for the DVD service. Because we believe we can best generate profits and satisfaction by keeping DVD by mail as a division, we have no intention of selling it. In Q4, we'll also return to marketing our DVD by mail service, something we haven't done for many quarters. Our goal is to keep DVD as healthy as possible for as many years as possible.
In early December, here's what Hastings had to say:
DVD will do whatever it's going to do. We're not -- we're going to try to not hurt it, but we're not putting a lot of time and energy into doing anything particular around it ...
And then on Wednesday's Q4 call, I turn things over to the Twitter feed of AdAge's Jeanine Poggi, where I first heard the latest:
Think about this. In July, Hastings presumably promotes a "twelve-year Netflix veteran" to head up DVD with "some great improvements" planned. In December, Hastings flat blows DVD off. And then, on Wednesday, he says he has no intention of marketing the DVD segment, even though in July he noted that "In Q4, we'll also return to marketing our DVD by mail service ..." Q4 was a month ago.
I still cannot get over that turn of events. But, amazingly, it pales in comparison to the falsehood that streaming subscribers are, as of Q4, more profitable than DVD subscribers as well as the hope that they will be in the future. They are not today (see the chart from Netflix) and it's little more than a pipe dream to think they will be in the future. Let's dig into that.
Technically, at some point, streaming subscribers will be more profitable than DVD subscribers, assuming that eventually DVDs fade into oblivion. If nobody buys DVDs and rents or sells them to consumers, it becomes a non-business with no margins. Streaming could then command a 10, 11, 15, 20 percent margin, whatever, and be more profitable. Of course, the dynamics of a slowing DVD business could change, causing margins to plummet (e.g., only heavy users who are expensive to service remain) and come in below that of the streaming segment. But, to reiterate, that simply is not the case now.
Again, Wells or Hastings will need to correct me if I am off the mark, but they, one more time, play loose with reality by arguing that streaming content licensing is a fixed cost. To the extent that Netflix says we will spend between $1 to $2 billion per year on streaming content, I guess it is. Netflix's long-term vision seems to contend that streaming subscriptions will grow alongside these fixed content costs and "pretty modest" variable costs and, in turn, increase the streaming contribution margin. The notion that streaming content, in practice, represents a fixed cost is where misleading and disingenuous comes in.
In theory, Netflix can control its costs. It can very easily say we will only spend X this year on content. Thinking dynamically, however, as the business flows, it might not be able to work out that way if the company expects to grow its subscriber base to the extent necessary to grow margins.
What happened between Netflix, Sony (NYSE:SNE) and Starz (NASDAQ:LMCA) provides the ideal case in point. You might remember the "temporary removal" of Sony movies from Netflix streaming that took place in June of last year. That "temporary removal" quickly became permanent and led to two events that will prove pivotal when historians look back on the collapse (my prediction) of this company.
The Associated Press was one of the first to immediately debunk the notion of a "temporary contract issue" between the parties:
A person familiar with the matter said Netflix's explosive growth triggered a clause in Sony's deal with Starz that resulted in the stoppage.
Several months later, Starz completely cut Netflix off, noting,
This decision is a result of our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content. With our current studio rights and growing original programming presence, the network is in an excellent position to evaluate new opportunities and expand its overall business.
All of this had to do with something I yelped about throughout 2011 - Netflix diluting the studios' premium content by charging just $8 a month for it, on an all-you-can-eat plan. That turn of events implies that, at least if you want to keep the type of premium content you need to attract more subscribers, you'll have to be willing to pay more for that content, raise the price you charge for your service or both.
When you consider context and the reality of the streaming business, it's incredibly disingenuous to refer to content costs as fixed alongside the contention that you'll grow the revenue the segment generates enough to increase margins at any meaningful rate. This assumes a world where Netflix can keep a cap on content costs, while acquiring the content it needs to attract larger numbers of subscribers. This also assumes that Netflix has some amount of leverage in its negotiations with premium content creators and owners. Sony and Starz made it quite clear that Netflix has very little, if any, bargaining power.
If you're an investor considering a long play on NFLX, realize that any upside you'll see comes as a result of the irrational momentum that has, historically, lifted this stock on air. That's why it makes it incredibly dangerous to short. However, in a rational world where reality emerges and eventually prevails, the whole streaming operation can, short of an extraordinary turn of events, do nothing but fail, particularly as Netflix kills the DVD business that has helped subsidize it.
Disclosure: I am short NFLX via a long position in long-dated, out-of-the-money put options.

High Fructose Corn Syrup: Too Sweet to Eat?I'm confused about high fructose corn syrup. I thought it was bad for you, but now I read that it's natural and may not be to blame for the obesity epidemic after all. True?
Answer (Published 9/1/2008)
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is definitely bad for you. It is also bad for the planet, and I believe that it is a major driver of the obesity epidemic, despite the position taken in June 2008 by the American Medical Association. The AMA concluded that HFCS isn't any worse than other caloric sweeteners and that there is "insufficient evidence" to restrict its use or require a warning label on products that contain it.

Dr. Weil's new website, SpontaneousHappiness.com, has everything you need to get on the path to optimal well-being including recipes, checklists and exclusive tools to track your walking.

HFCS is a relatively recent invention for sweetening soft drinks, juices and foods – the production process was developed in Japan in the late 1960s, and the new sweetener entered the American food system in the early 1970s. It tastes sweeter than regular corn syrup, blends well with other foods, maintains a longer shelf life and is cheaper. You'll also find it in processed foods ranging from salad dressings and ketchup, to jams, jellies, ice cream and many others – even bread. HFCS contains 14-percent fructose, much more than regular corn syrup. I'm concerned that it has disruptive effects on metabolism, because the body doesn't utilize fructose well, and humans have never before consumed it in such quantity.
Of course, HFCS isn't solely to blame for the obesity epidemic. The AMA correctly pointed out that as consumption of HFCS rose, Americans were also consuming more calories (of all kinds) and becoming less active. All told, however, consumption of HFCS in the United States increased by more than 1,000 percent between 1970 and 1990, and a study published in the April 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that Americans over the age of two consume more than 300 calories daily from caloric sweeteners, one-sixth of their average daily calories. HCFS may also promote weight gain because it behaves in the body more like fat than glucose, the blood sugar derived from other sweet foods. Some evidence suggests that fructose may disturb liver function, and unlike glucose, doesn't appear to trigger the process by which the body tells us it is full. What's more, in men (not in women) HFCS appears to elevate triglycerides, blood fats that increase the risk of heart disease.
As far as HFCS being "natural," this was a recent FDA decision based on whether or not HFCS constituents come into contact with a synthetic fixing agent during manufacturing. If not, the FDA said, products containing HFCS can be labeled "natural." The other side of this argument, advanced by the sugar industry and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group, is that HFCS can't be considered "natural" because its chemical bonds are broken and rearranged during manufacturing. I don't much care if it's called natural or not; it's not good for us.
And then there's the environmental impact, a serious concern. Journalist and agriculture industry critic Michael Pollen points out that growing all the corn needed for HFCS depletes soil nutrients, which increases the need for pesticides and fertilizer. In March 2008, the Washington Post quoted Pollan as saying that a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico where "virtually nothing will live" has been starved of oxygen by the fertilizer runoff coming down the Mississippi from the corn belt. Pollan also notes that federal corn subsidies keep prices of products containing HFCS low, and that – plus the sweetness – feeds the public demand for these foods.
Giving up products containing HFCS will benefit your health, help control your weight, and if enough people get the message, protect the planet as well.

Wyoming Fliers May Face Problems
Cheyenne, Wy – Denver International Airport will be facing a backlog of two and a half days-worth of flights by the time it reopens. Officials plan to reopen the airport at noon on Friday. That will likely create problems for Denver flights through the weekend.
Great lakes Airlines makes flights to Denver from several Wyoming cities. CEO Chuck Howell says his airline is facing a backlog of customers. "Candidly, everyone should be looking at an option B, because even if we get you into Denver, probably it's going to be problematic whether the carrier that you're flying on out of Denver can get you to your ultimate destination. They're going to be facing the same thing."
Howell says if they can, travelers may want to delay flying out of Denver until the rush is over.

Tip/Waist/Tail: 143-113-132
Lengths: 168, 177, 185
Most companies are making great skis these days. But every so often our testers click into something that just sings. Enter La Niña, Nordica's all-new women's powder ski. On first impression, testers thought the 185-cm test length looked like a monster. Once underfoot, though, it felt like an extension of their bodies as it smoothly absorbed crud, snapped through tight trees, and railed on hardpack. Aggressive rocker at tip and tail and camber underfoot are the magic combination, giving a big ski intended for serious skiers a huge measure of forgiveness and fun.
Find this ski and more from Nordica.

All working people benefit from an immigration system with a roadmap to citizenship. We make the most progress when we organize all workers, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, nationality or immigration status.
But our broken immigration system exposes immigrant workers to exploitation. Millions of aspiring Americans struggle to support their families on poverty wages, sometimes in inadequate or unsafe working conditions. In fact, immigrant workers face the highest rates of wage theft, sexual harassment, and death and injury on the job, and many suffer in silence for fear of deportation or employer retaliation.
When a segment of our society suffers, we all suffer. The labor movement is committed to reforming our country's broken immigration system. A rational and humane immigration system will build a more just society and will protect all working people, regardless of immigration status, from substandard wages and working conditions.

The first trailer for Netflix's highly-acclaimed series Orange Is The New Black has arrived and it is absolutely crazy, in an amazing kind-of-way. The new season will bring back all of our favorite characters, like Tastee, Crazy Eyes and Red, and the clip even shows us a glimpse of Alex (though it's been reported that she'll only appear in a few episodes).
Created by Jenji Kohan, OITNB goes back behind bars for another sentence with the fearless and funny female inmates of Litchfield prison. As one inmate puts it, this is "like next-level crazy." The trailer gives us a good taste of what's to come. Piper, for one, is getting more and more aggressive and she's back in the SHU. At one point she states, "I am a lone wolf. And a vicious one. Don't make me rip your throat out." Who is she telling? We have no idea, but we wouldn't want to be them. Also, there's a few new inmates inside, including one that terrifies Red, who goes by the name of Vee. And Crazy Eyes has a new friend. We could keep going, but go ahead and watch the trailer:
Netflix also released a clip featuring most of the cast describing the second season, and it looks like all of them agreed that "shit gets cray." Check it out:
The series stars Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs, Laura Prepon, Kate Mugrew, Danielle Brooks, Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne, Taryn Manning, Laverne Cox, Michael Harney, Samira Wiley, Yael Stone and more. Netflix will drop all 13 episodes on Friday, June 6, 2014.

|Connelly's Top Ten: Edelman Lays Eggs (so did the coordinators)
This edition of the Four-Point Play will be entirely devoted to Mike Bibby's comments about the Celtics as "fair weather" fans. I will have four separate but related points to make about his stupid, baseless comments.
1. Mike Bibby told reporters after Game 1 of the Hawks-Celtics first round series:
"(The crowd was) kind of loud at the beginning, but a lot of these fans might be bandwagon jumpers. They try to get on this now. Because I played here last year, too. I didn't see three-fourths of them so it might be that. I remember them having bags on their heads. Are they the ones that had bags on their heads last year? It's just a different look, but I guess that happens when you win."
2. Did he really see 1/4 of the crowd when he came as a visiting player last year?
3. Did Mike Bibby forget he was playing for the ATLANTA Hawks?
4. Kendrick Perkins responded to Bibby's dumb remarks with this gem:
"Coming off a 2-for-10 shooting performance, you expect a guy to say something like that. We have the best fans in the world, but we don't expect other players to like our fans."

Naomi Watts Battled Bronchitis During 'The Impossible' Filming
Naomi Watts battled bronchitis and stomach problems on the set of The Impossible after swallowing large amounts of water during grueling scenes for the tsunami movie.
The King Kong star appears opposite Ewan McGregor in the new disaster epic, which tells the story of real-life survivor Maria Belon as she struggles to find her family in Thailand in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Watts filmed a number of underwater scenes for the movie, and director Juan Antonio Bayona has revealed the shoot made his star sick.
He tells the New York Daily News, "It was very demanding physically. From the first day, Naomi had bronchitis and stomach problems because she was swallowing a lot of water. But no matter how exhausted or emotionally drained she was, I could always ask for another take - and she loved that."
The hard work appears to have paid off for Watts - she has received Best Actress nominations for the upcoming Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, and she is tipped to land an
Oscars nod when the Academy Awards shortlist is announced on January 10th.
