Matthew Clawson
Thank you, Chris. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the CombiMatrix Corporation 2012 Fourth Quarter Results Conference Call. With us today are CombiMatrix President and CEO, Judd Jessup; Chief Commercial Officer, Mark McDonough; and the company's Chief Financial Officer, Scott Burell.
Earlier this morning, CombiMatrix distributed a news release that summarized its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
Before we get started, I've been asked to remind you that today's presentation and answers to questions in the Q&A portion of the call will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements involve material risks and uncertainties that could actually cause results or events to be materially different from those anticipated. For a list and description of those risks and uncertainties, please see the CombiMatrix's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CombiMatrix does not assume any obligation to update or revise any financial projections or forward-looking statements made today.
Furthermore, this conference call contains some time-sensitive information and is accurate only as of this call today, February 27, 2013. Copies of the CombiMatrix SEC filings are available online from the SEC or by clicking on Investor Relations on the company website.
With that, it's now my pleasure to turn the call over to CombiMatrix's President and CEO, Judd Jessup. Good morning, Judd.
R. Judd Jessup
Good morning, Matt, and thank you. Welcome to CombiMatrix's Fourth Quarter and 2012 Year-End Conference Call, and thank you for your participation and interest in our company. I plan on making a few brief remarks about what we believe was a very important fourth quarter and full year 2012, and our thoughts on what to expect in the coming months. Then I'll turn the call over to Mark McDonough, who will be taking over as the CEO next month, as well as turn it over to Scott Burell, our CFO, for financial details.
I'd like to start today by saying we are a much different company than we were 1 year ago. We have a new core management team and a much stronger and more experienced sales organization that has performed very well under Mark's leadership. We streamlined our organization to cut costs and reduced our cash burn, and we've created a new focus and a new strategy that I'll let Mark discuss further.
As most of you know, I'm retiring and leaving CombiMatrix effective March 15. Mark McDonough, who was our Chief Commercial Officer and who has done an extraordinary job building our new sales and marketing organization, will be taking over the Chief Executive role.
I'd like to introduce Mark by saying that when we hired him last summer, he had shown on paper that he could build and lead a sales team. He had delivered great success in his stints at Ventana, US LABS and Pathwork Diagnostics. But it's one thing to talk about building the team, and it's another thing altogether to execute on the ground, translate that hiring into profitable salespeople, make it happen operationally and continue to deliver growing value to our existing and new customers. In only 7 months' time, Mark has executed exceptionally well, and it shows in the numbers we are generating in our core markets. Mark has been a key part of the entire cultural change we are seeing here at CombiMatrix and has helped generate a sense of enthusiasm that permeates our entire team.
I believe the company is headed in the right direction, and that I'm leaving the company in very capable hands.
With that, I'd like to thank you and turn the call over to Mark. Mark?
Mark McDonough
Thanks, Judd. I appreciate it. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for the very kind words. I can tell you the shift we are undertaking here has been a team effort. I'm excited to be taking the reins as the leader of CombiMatrix to continue forward with the new focus and strategy that's currently underway and clearly gaining steam. I'm also looking forward to meeting with shareholders and other interested parties in the coming months.
In the near term, I'll be keenly focused on commercial execution, and we're working to make sure that the sales and operations at the lab do not miss a beat during this transition. That said, I'll also be able to get out and introduce myself and the CombiMatrix story more actively in the investor community, starting later this spring. And I look forward to sharing the progress we are making with all of you as things progress.
I think CombiMatrix last year made what promises to be the most important strategic decision in our history. We made the decision to go from being a laboratory that was trying to do a variety of tests in several diverse markets to a laboratory focused on what we do best and where the opportunity is greatest. Today, we are focused on where the market is growing and leveraging what distinguishes CombiMatrix in the marketplace, prenatal and pediatric testing, particularly, chromosomal microarray analysis, which we call CMA. We are the only publicly-traded company in the world today that specializes in CMA. After months of discussion and candidly stagnant growth, the decision was made about mid-year last year, and so far, the marketplace has responded very well. There's still a long way to go, but we're gaining traction and market share. And we're all very excited about the sales ramp that we've generated in the prenatal testing market.

Last night Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) voted in favor of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 (H.R. 4853) which prevents a tax increase on working Americans, small businesses and job-creating investments. The bill passed the House by a vote of 277 to 148.
"The last thing our economy needs right now is crushing tax increases, and I was pleased to see that these tax hikes will not be added to the backs of hard-working Americans," Rep. Calvert said. "Stopping all the job-killing tax hikes scheduled for January 1, 2011 is an important first step to help our economy. The strength of our economy can be measured by the ability of private businesses to grow, invest and hire. As a former small business owner, I fully understand the crucial role small businesses play in the district and throughout the country, and I will be doing everything I can to see to it that these low tax rates are extended permanently."
H.R. 4853 temporarily extends many crucial tax provisions through December 31, 2012, including the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) relief; individual income rates; capital gains and dividends; child tax credit; marriage penalty relief; adoption and child care tax credit; and earned income tax credit. It also reduces the Death Tax to 35 percent (down from 55 percent next year) and increases the exemption amount to $5 million per spouse (up from $1 million next year).
Without passage of this bill, $3.8 trillion in tax increases would have kicked in on January 1, 2011 and would have been paid for by every taxpayer and most small businesses. Middle-class families would have lost roughly $100 per week out of their paychecks, and ultimately it would have been a disaster for family budgets, employers and the economy. H.R. 4853 received broad support from the business community, large and small, including endorsements from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Business Roundtable.

The Baton Rouge Zoo experienced its lowest attendance in at least 20 years during the summer season this year, and zoo officials are blaming sizzling hot temperatures for keeping the crowds down.
Zoo Director Phil Frost said the zoo drew 37,744 visitors during June, July and August — 11,006 fewer than last year and the lowest number since at least 1991, based on attendance records.
"For the first five months of the year, we were doing very well, then we got hit with that brutal heat," Frost said.
The summer saw temperatures frequently soar into the upper 90s, with several days reaching triple digits.
Admission fees are an important source of revenue for the zoo, and officials say they are hoping attendance continues to pick up with the arrival of cooler weather.
Many zoos in the Southeast tend to attract their biggest crowds in spring and fall, when temperatures are milder, Frost said.
"We get a lot of people when spring hits and then traditionally the numbers drop off until mid-September," he said. "Summer is always a difficult time for our zoo."
Added Bob Rainer, president of Friends of the Zoo, "We're just the victims of where we live."
Frost said attendance picked up in September, and the zoo is looking for strong attendance in October for events such as Boo at the Zoo.
The popular annual event, held over two weekends in October, is tied to the Halloween season. Area businesses and organizations set up treat stations where candy and treats are handed out to children in Halloween costumes.
Boo at the Zoo is being held this year on Oct. 15-16 and Oct. 22-23, Frost said.
"Last year, we had 31,000 visitors during those four days," Frost said. "They passed out 900,000 pieces of candy. That's a lot of candy."
Attendance at the zoo through August totaled 161,948, which is 12,395 less than attendance for the same eight months in 2010, zoo officials said.
Despite the lower number of visitors this year, the zoo's earned revenue through August actually was up slightly compared to the same period last year.
The zoo took in $1,430,785 for the first eight months of this year compared to $1,422,383 last year, according to figures provided by zoo officials.
Frost said revenues were up because there were more corporate picnics, concession and gift shop sales were strong and the zoo had a nearly sold-out summer camp program for youths.
About half of the zoo's $3,760,00 annual operating revenue comes from admission fees, concession sales and fees collected from summer camps and other special programs, Frost said. The rest comes from a dedicated tax that supports BREC programs, he said.
Zoo officials are preparing a proposed budget for next year that envisions raising admission fees by $1.25 per person in January, something that requires approval of the board that oversees BREC.
The admission fee for adults visiting the zoo is $7 each, while the charge for children ages 2-12 is $4 each. If approved by BREC, the fees would be raised to $8.25 for adults and $5.25 for children.
Frost has said the zoo generally raises admission fees every other year to try to keep up with increased operating expenses, such as the cost of food for the animals, fuel and utilities.

How Ireland's players rated in Serbia
Ireland's scrambled a 2-2 draw against Serbia in their opening World Cup qualifier and here is how we rated Martin O'Neill's men:
Darren Randolph - A fine first half save preserved Ireland's lead going in to the break, but he didn't always look secure in what were horrible, damp conditions for a keeper. He was helpless to keep out the Serbia goal after some woeful defending, but did not fill his defenders with confidence as he fumbled the ball too often and was fortunate to get away with a couple of glaring errors - 5
Seamus Coleman - Struggled to get forward from his right-back berth to try and support the Ireland attack and relieve the pressure on an Irish defence that was pinned back for long periods. Coleman has earned the right to be Ireland captain and he needs to confirm he can lead from the front in these qualifiers - 6
John O'Shea - The veteran defender could have done more in the build-up to the Serbia equaliser and unless he is getting regular first team football at Sunderland, it is hard to imagine O'Shea will still be a first pick for Ireland by the time the World Cup qualifying push reaches a decisive phase next year - 5
Richard Keogh - Ireland boss Martin O'Neill has huge faith in this hard working centre-back and he makes up for his technical deficiencies with his driving desire. Ireland made a conscious effort to try and play out from the back for much of this game and Keogh may not be the best candidate to fill such a role - 6
Stephen Ward - Playing regular Premier League football once again, but his critics will argue he lacks the quality to make a mark at international level. Ward struggles to make his mark going forward and gave away a few unnecessary free-kicks in dangerous areas - 5
Jeff Hendrick - His early goal gave Ireland hope of a rare away day success in a qualifier, but Hendrick struggled to stamp his authority on a game that was played on a rain-sodden pitch. His passing abilities were not in evidence as this game slipped away from Ireland - 5
Glenn Whelan - No Ireland team is complete without Whelan (according to the numerous managers who continue to pick him), but his one-paced lack of invention continues to be a roadblock to progress for an Ireland team that need to find a way of accommodating the more inventive Harry Arter in the line-up - 5
Robbie Brady - Some decent set-pieces aside, Brady failed to make his mark in his more advanced midfield role on a night when he made his first start in the Ireland No.10 shirt that has been owned by Robbie Keane for so long. Martin O'Neill relies too heavily on Brady and he still looked to be Ireland's most likely match-winner in Belgrade - 7
Jon Walters - A big loss to the Ireland team at Euro 2016 and Walters looked off the pace as he started in an attacking role behind Shane Long. A lack of first team action at Stoke may be a big issue for Ireland moving forward, with Walters failing to shine in the Belgrade rain - 5
Shane Long - Ireland's lead striker is not getting the service he needs to thrive and after his less than enjoyable and often lonely experience as lead striker at Euro 2016, he was back in a familiar role once again as he chased lost caused aplenty against Serbia. If Ireland are to get the best out of Long, he needs more balls over the top of defenders to use his blistering pace. Missed a big chance before Murphy's equaliser - 5
James McClean - Supporters of McClean are always keen to promote his cause to be a starter in the Ireland team, but this was another limp performance from the West Bromwich Albion maverick. He needs to produce more for club and country - 5
Stephen Quinn - A somewhat unimaginative replacement for Stephen Ward, Quinn struggled to make his mark - 5
Daryl Murphy - Made a difference as he gave Ireland's attack a focal point and his goal was priceless - 6

Blog post
Smart Growth and Sustainability Should Focus on Climate Change More Than Immigration
This evening my wife, Beth Conover, will appear on a televised panel discussion on "Immigration and Sustainability" aired on Rocky Mountain PBS's Colorado State of Mind, hosted by Greg Dobbs. The panel includes former Gov. Dick Lamm, former Post columnist Diane Carman, and State Rep. Michael Garcia (D-Aurora). An mp3 of the program is already available at the following link.
This evening my wife, Beth Conover, will appear on a televised panel discussion on "Immigration and Sustainability" aired on Rocky Mountain PBS's Colorado State of Mind, hosted by Greg Dobbs. The panel includes former Gov. Dick Lamm, former Post columnist Diane Carman, and State Rep. Michael Garcia (D-Aurora). An mp3 of the program is already available at the following link.
My wife worked for Denver Mayor John Hicklooper and created the Greenprint Denver program. The topics being discussed are immigration and sustainability and to what extent these issues are linked. While, immigration is a real issue that will require new policies and creative thinking, I would argue it is the weapon of mass distraction when it comes to thinking about what needs to be done to make the U.S. more sustainable.
The League of Conservation Voters recently did an analysis of all the Presidential debates on national TV ("What Are They Waiting For?", League of Conservation Voters). In total, 2,679 questions were asked at Republican and Democratic debates. Of the, 2,679 questions, illegal immigration was the topic of 165 questions while the words global warming and climate change came up less than 25 times. The words "global warming" actually tied with questions about UFOs (three times). Arguing that immigration is an environmental issue while ignoring climate change is like focusing on the energy consumed by the light bulb in your refrigerator while keeping the door open.
As planners, we need to incorporate global warming into our work. The way we plan our cities and towns has a major impact on our energy footprint, whether it's creating communities that support alternative modes of transportation, building energy efficient homes and buildings, or planting trees and protecting open space as carbon sinks, planning impacts energy use for decades.
The Presidential Climate Action Project recently issued a 10 page Presidential Climate Action Plan, encouraging the next president to focus more seriously on climate change. The report states:
We must recognize that national climate policy and national energy policy are inextricably linked. The United States must make a deliberate and rapid transition away from carbon-based fuels, whether they come from the Persian Gulf or from domestic sources. We must turn with unprecedented speed to a future of energy independence, resource efficiency, renewable energy technologies and low-carbon fuels. Public policy must support only those technologies and resources that simultaneously stabilize the climate and enhance national energy security.
We must acknowledge that global climate change is much more than an environmental issue. It is a threat to national security because an unstable world is a breeding ground for extremism and terrorism. It is an urgent economic issue in which the price of action is much less than the costs of delaying, or doing nothing.
We must recognize not only the threat of climate change, but the enormous opportunities that we can capture by addressing it. The urgent worldwide demand for clean energy technologies is arguably the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity the United States has ever known. As the world's leading innovator, we can and should become the world's leading supplier of the technologies and products that will help all people in all nations achieve dignity and a decent standard of living, without contributing to climate change.
I couldn't agree more, and yet immigration is getting a disproportionate share of attention when it comes to discussions about national security, the environment, and sprawl. Smart Growth America conducted a study to investigate the linkages between sprawl, immigration, and population growth. Less than a third of sprawl development can be attributed to population growth (natural, legal immigration, and illegal immigration combined). Sprawl and its negative impact on the environment is mainly an issue of poor planning and the developer interest in building large lot single family houses. As planners and citizens we help keep the focus on issues of more long-term strategic importance.

First, thanks to the overwhelming support by Fairmount horsemen, union workers and employees shown at the town hall meeting on Tuesday. Although this wasn't an official committee hearing, it showed the legislators that the horsemen and workers at Fairmount are here to stay. I spoke with them today and they were all impressed with the turnout.
Great news for all who have horses and work in any capacity at Fairmount and all Illinois horsemen and tracks. We were successful in passing the Advance Deposit Wagering bill today getting 47 yes votes in the Senate (30 needed) and 95 in the House (60 needed). The Governor has already signed the bill into law. Amazing when you think about it. The Senate convened at 11 am this morning, passed the bill and sent it to the House. Following the Governor's State Of The State speech Speaker Madigan called the bill and it was passed at about 12:52 pm and sent to the Governor. He signed it this afternoon and it became law for the next three years. Now that's what I call excellent time management. All racing dates will now proceed under scenario one. Congratulations to us all.

text: (Let's listen first to this new Obama ad.) [Clip of Obama ad.] (What is the message you're getting from that ad?) The ad is about the economy and taxes, and it says McCain wants to give tax cuts to large corporations and he has no health plan, and it'll be more money in the pockets of the health insurance companies. It's also playing with the idea that the Republicans are hiding something and playing to the mistrust of Latinos towards Republicans. This ad is focusing more on these two issues than generally the economy or, we're going to do better for you. They're focusing on taxes and health care because these are big issues of Latinos. (Now let's listen to McCain's ad. [Clip.] What's the message here?) The big focus of the McCain campaign has been Latinos and small businesses, he doesn't talk much to Latino workers. He knows Latinos have a lot of small businesses. He's talking about how Obama is going to raise taxes for these small businesses. (What are the differences between English language ads and Spanish language ads?) A lot of the ads in Spanish have to do with immigration. In previous campaigns we have seen how immigration is used in negative ways to attract conservative voters. Now it's being used in Spanish language campaigns and who will get immigration reform faster. You won't hear that in English. (Are Latinos buying that?) Latinos are convinced they'll be better off with the Democrats and that's part of the problem McCain has even though he has a decent record on immigration.

Top 25 Best Examples of Gamification in Business
Gamification is used by brands to motivate employees, create healthy competition among teams, generate buzz or social proof, and encourage customer loyalty, among other benefits. With a variety of techniques – some easy to implement, some requiring advanced planning, coding, or technical expertise – any business can use gamification to get better results, no matter what your goals.
These 25 examples of gamification in business run the gamut for potential uses, but brands are coming up with innovative ways to incorporate game-like features into ordinary activities every day. Listed in no particular order of importance, these 25 stellar uses of gamification are sure to spark some creativity and get your competitive gears turning for ways to put the fun back in business.
1. U.S. Army – America's Army
Gamification Use: Recruitment
The U.S. Army is no stranger to using games for training purposes, but now it's using gamification to attract new recruits and generally promote awareness of the U.S. armed forces. America's Army has attracted millions of potential new recruits. This effort was initiated back in 1999, and the first version was released in 2002. By 2008, four transportable "Virtual Army Experience" units were hitting shopping malls and public events. More than a decade in the making, the U.S. Army has turned its knowledge and experience of training games into a powerful recruiting tool.
2. Jillian Michaels
Gamification Use: Motivation and Goal Tracking
Jillian Michaels encourages users to stay on track with her fitness programs using gamification techniques for a number of fitness challenges. With a multitude of challenges to choose from, users can select a program that's most closely aligned with personal goals and lifestyle. Each challenge uses its own set of gamification techniques, such as contests and prizes, badges, partner and group challenges.
3. Samsung Nation
Gamification Use: Social Loyalty and Customer Engagement
Samsung gets social and creates user-generated content by rewarding users for getting engaged with the community, participating in Q&A discussions with other users, watching videos, reviewing products, and other activities. In exchange for their participation, users are awarded with badges and progress through levels of achievement. Samsung already had hundreds of thousands of visitors, so it didn't need to put much effort into driving visitors to the site. Instead, it focused on explaining the benefits of getting involved with the community to encourage users to review products and create valuable branded content for the company.
4. Treehouse
Gamification Use: Goal Tracking and Proof of Achievement
Treehouse is a virtual training academy for learning code, app development, and business skills, used by beginners to learn valuable career skills and experienced professionals for career advancement. Students choose from various tracks for defined outcomes, and earn badges and points as they work through the library of courses to show off their achievements and impress potential employers. Tracks are broken into manageable chunks, and a tracker shows your progress as you work towards your goals. The more points you earn, the higher your potential salary.
5. Mint.com
Gamification Use: Fostering Financial Independence and Goal Tracking
Mint.com makes the ordinarily painful process of demystifying your financials and planning for your future simpler and more entertaining through gamification. By employing a variety of goal trackers, visual breakdowns for better understanding of your spending habits and budget allocation, and easy-to-interpret charts and graphs outlining your personal financial plan, Mint.com is helping everyday people plan secure financial futures and get back on track with their financial goals. Would you rather analyze a spreadsheet or use a cool app that creates a colorful display to show you exactly where your money's going every month – automatically?
6. Recyclebank
Gamification Use: Customer Loyalty and Rewards
Recyclebank rewards users for doing everyday things that are good for the environment, such as learning how to cut back on water consumption or purchasing greener products – specifically, those with the Recyclebank logo. Users earn points by working their way through a tiered series of questions and answers, learning about greener living practices and pledging to follow them, and exchanging points for rewards. Rewards include pretty sweet discounts (20 percent off, $10 or $20 off, etc.) from vendors such as 1800FLOWERS.com, The Honest Company, Macy's, and more, and you can compare your rank against other users to gauge your green-living status.
7. Pierce County Library – Teen Summer Challenge
Gamification Use: Promoting Literacy and Building Membership
The Pierce County Library makes use of gamification to encourage teens to read throughout the summer. With a series of challenges designed to take teens on "an epic journey," young readers can select categories and badges that look interesting to them. Anyone can register and participate, but prizes are only issued to teens with a valid Pierce County Library card. With leaderboards to track your progress against others, a points system, and a dashboard that displays user statistics, this program turns reading into a fun summer activity while boosting membership for the library.
8. Kaplan University
Gamification Use: Educational Achievement
Kaplan University implemented Badgeville solutions to enhance its curriculum by encouraging more engaged participation. By incorporating challenges and badges, Kaplan saw results such as higher student grades, decreased rates of students failing to complete courses and programs, and conducted behavior analysis to differentiate what distinguishes the most successful students from the rest in order to derive gamification processes that would foster the same practices across the student population, according to InformationWeek.
9. Teleflora Rewards
Gamification Use: Social Loyalty and Customer Engagement
Teleflora's Rewards program gives customers one point for every dollar spent on the website. For every 150 points accumulated, users get a $15 discount on a future purchase. Users also get perks like sneak previews of upcoming products, the opportunity to pre-order new products before they're available to the public, free email gift reminders, bonus points for special offers, and more. Points are also awarded for social loyalty activities, such as posting reviews, leaving Facebook comments, and answering other customers' questions, with points and rewards activity is tracked in a leaderboard.
10. Step2
Gamification Use: Customer Loyalty
Step2 makes a variety of children's products, encouraging parents to get involved with creating buzz about the brand using a loyalty program. Customers get involved by writing reviews and engaging with other customers to create buzz surrounding Step2 products, earning points for their activities and gradually working their way up several levels, designated by badges, to become influencers. The leaderboard ranks users by level and influence, displaying a number of stats such as the number of reviews written, number of helpful votes, shares, photos and videos, and more.
11. Keas
Gamification Use: Employee Wellness, Cost Reduction
Keas is an employee wellness platform used by enterprises to maintain lower group health insurance costs and reduce expenses such as unnecessary sick days. Keas employs gamification within its platform, enabling employees from client companies to log in to a personal dashboard to view stats, earn awards for achievements for completing tasks, and even support co-workers for progress towards their goals.
12. The World Bank – Evoke
Gamification Use: Solving World Problems
Evoke is an educational game encouraging youth to develop innovative solutions to the world's biggest challenges, such as hunger and poverty. The World Bank, which created Evoke, describes the game as "a crash course in changing the world." Players are challenges to complete ten missions and ten quests paced over the course of ten weeks. Those who successfully complete the required challenges earn the distinction of "World Bank Institute Social Innovator." But that's not all: Winners from the original graduating class in 2010 reaped benefits such as seed funding for new ventures, travel scholarships to share their visions at the EVOKE Conference in Washington, D.C., and online mentorships with business leaders and social leaders from around the world.
13. DevHub
Gamification Use: Project Completion
DevHub didn't quite expect such a massive impact from implementing a few simple game-like features into its platform, such as awarding badges (called devatars) for completing certain tasks. Forbes reports that the company was rather astonished when it watched the percentage of users who actually completed projects jump from just 10 percent to 80 percent. Basically, the strategy aims to incentivize users to work their way through the more tedious or challenging tasks that tend to make people throw in the towel or procrastinate.
14. Verizon Insider
Gamification Use: Customer Loyalty and Engagement
Verizon Wireless ramped up customer engagement with some gamification tricks in Verizon Insider, a community hub where users can get exclusive offers, participate in online and real-world events, and engage with the community through writing reviews and other interactions to earn points. By getting personal and more interactive, and rewarding users for getting involved, Verizon is amplifying brand recognition and driving loyalty.
15. 4food
Gamification Use: Social Loyalty, Brand Awareness, Engagement, and Social Missions
A visit to the 4food website is like a big game. Whether you're checking out the badge-like core company values, "flipping the bird" for a discount offer, or building your own burger, a 4food website visit is one customers won't soon forget. The 4foods goal is to de-junk fast food, but they also donate 25 cents to a good cause every time a (W)holeburger is purchased. Check out what's trending, learn about the ingredients of the many 4foods burgers, or go to the BuildBoard to "Build your burger, then make it good4all by giving it a name, and telling us: what is your purpose?"
16. Proof
Gamification Use: Motivation, Goal Tracking
Proof is a Mindbloom app (which has a number of other gamification apps, as well) that's a great example of gamification in its own right. But it can also be used by a small business or enterprise to encourage healthy competition and achieve goals, thanks to the ability to use it alone or with a group of other users. With Proof, users create 7-day challenges and capture photo or video proof using smartphones to track progress and prove that they actually met the challenge. Brands that put this app to use can incorporate rewards to those who complete challenges, turning it into a motivational tool for the workforce. Small business owner or consultant? You can find a way to use this app with clients, too.
17. Engine Yard
Gamification Use: Customer Engagement
Engine Yard is a platform for deploying, scaling, and monitoring applications. The company implemented a Zendesk knowledge base, but didn't see the levels of engagement they had hoped for. To encourage participation, Engine Yard incorporated badges and other gamification tactics to boost participation and reward users for making contributions to the community. By doing so, it successfully increased user-generated content for its customer self-help portal, decreasing the number of support tickets and reducing the demand on support staff.
18. Beat the GMAT
Gamification Use: User Engagement, Goal Tracking and Competition
Beat the GMAT, a social network for prospective MBAs as they research and navigate the MBA admissions process, was started by an MBA student from his dorm room at Stanford in 2005. Acquired by Hobson's in 2012, it had already been experimenting with gamification since 2010. With badge reward systems for engagement, simple games with points and level systems, Beat the GMAT eventually realized its team needed to focus its efforts on core business operations and became one of Badgeville's first customers. In creating MBA Watch, a social network exclusively for applicants to pool their stats and compare themselves to others to identify areas of improvement, the company created a richer, more engaging use of social mechanics for the benefit of users.
19. Bluewolf
Gamification Use: Employee Engagement and Motivation
Bluewolf uses gamification internally as a way to get employees more engaged and actively involved in building the Bluewolf brand. Using Bunchball's technology, Bluewolf created its own #GoingSocial program using a variety of initiatives, including employee 'Pack Profiles,' offering points and rewards for internal and external collaboration, publishing a blog post on the company blog, earning a Klout score of 50 or above, and other achievements. The result is a more robust social presence for a social brand that engages potential customers and drives employee investment.
20. ChoreWars
Gamification Use: Healthy Competition, Employee Motivation
It may sound like a household chore motivator for kids, and it is – but it's also a great tool to use in the office to get teams more motivated to complete the more mundane tasks that need doing. With a variety of configurations, you can use ChoreWars as a one-off contest to get employees back in action, or an ongoing program with a weekly high-score table to award prizes to top competitors every week. ChoreWars turns any ordinary task into a fun, engaging competition by allowing users to create characters, create chores, and go on adventures with gold and equipment.
21. Nissan – Carwings
Gamification Use: Customer Loyalty
The Nissan Carwings program, a concept created by Nissan Innovation for the Nissan Leaf, Nissan's 100-percent electric car, gamifies driving and draws customers like magnets. With a regional rankings dashboard, owners can compare their performance to other local drivers, earn bronze, silver, and gold medals – or for the most impressive performance rankings, a fancy platinum award. A complimentary service for three years for new Leaf owners, Carwings does much more than just ranks your driving stats on a leaderboard. You can communicate with your car via your smartphone and get reminders, start charging the battery, set timers, turn on the A/C and more, even if you're not near your car at the time.
22. Tongal
Gamification Use: Fostering Creativity, Connecting Brands with Creative Talent
Tongal is a community of brands and creative minds that benefit in different ways through a crowd-sourced model that makes use of gamification to foster creativity and put top-notch creative work that connects brands with their audiences in powerful, meaningful ways. The community votes on ideas for submitted projects, and winning creators are paid to create their vision, and the final submitted work is ranked by the Sponsor and distributed to audiences worldwide. It's a win-win solution that puts earning power in the hands of the world's most brilliant minds, while providing leading brands with access to innovative creative works that otherwise may never come to life.
23. Progress Wars
Gamification Use: Parody, Brainstorming and Stress Relief
Progress Wars isn't really designed for business, but its total simplicity, parody approach, and potential usefulness for business purposes is intriguing enough for us to include it here. Poking fun at the thrill of playing games on Facebook and leveling-up to see the all-important progress bar make its way further to the right, Progess Wars is literally that: A progress bar, completed by clicking a button to complete various "missions." But what about business? It's a great distractor when you need a temporary moment of bliss, and the various challenge messages can help clear your head when you need some added creativity. If your team is struggling with progress on an important project, a few minutes of Progress Wars can trick your brain into thinking you've got your mojo back. Return to mundane, frustrating project and start getting stuff done. End of story.
Gamification Use: Building Brand Awareness, Team Building
SCVNGR is a fun game platform that sends users to places they'd frequent anyway, where they complete challenges, accumulate points, and earn rewards. Get in the game by creating challenges at your favorite local places, set up a trek for your team and force them to do goofy things in public, and more with SCVNGR. For example, a thread in the community help desk forum suggests that SCVNGR could be used at a conference as a method for getting attendees to engage with vendors by visiting vendor booths and participating in challenges in exchange for a reward. Whether you set up challenges at your physical location and offer rewards or use SCVNGR for team-building purposes, this app has tons of potential.
25. The Email Game
Gamification Use: Brand Awareness, Team Building, Productivity
Baydin creates tools that help its customers make better decisions and handle massive email influx more efficiently than ever before with The Email Game. Using gamification to boost productivity, The Email Game gives users a 3-minute time limit to respond to emails that must be addressed now and rewards you with points and accomplishments when you've done things quickly or managed your workflow well. While The Email Game's gamification approach benefits Baydin by fostering customer loyalty, but its enterprise edition can help your team become more productive and have more fun managing email at the office.
We love seeing great examples of gamification in use. Got one? Share it with us!

Wow, great example list für gamification in business context. Thank you very much.
I am an intern working for a gaming company that designs game apps called NA3M Games. We were recently introduced to the trend of Gamification Design and thought it was a fantastic idea that engages people in a completely new and original way. This new field of customer engagement fulfills one of the deepest desires within human beings; desire for recognition and rewards in exchange for their hard work and progressive actions. This explains the rapid rise of this industry. The list was wonderfully constructed and I will definitely be utilizing some of them for my own personal goals. Thank you.
Revelian makes gamified assessments for recruiting staff. It's a revolution in psychometric testing and test candidates love it!
I am currently working on a project in school to gamify any complex process so i was thinking about my school voting process. everyone knows the success rate for achieving the set goal for voting is really low because most people find the process boring and a waste of their time so they don't participate. I plan to gamify this process to motivate users for better engagement and interaction.I will like if anyone can propose a feature that will be very helpful for this gamification project.
Hi, I believe in gamification.
I like games and I like rewards. I like it, when you see your progress and when you got rewards from other People.

Great article!
I think the new way to gamification example targetted for Millenials is GetBadges (https://getbadges.io). This is a platform dedicated for IT departments and it tries to resolve problems with engaging programmers, testers and PMs with their everyday work. People are motivated by receiving achievements and fighting with monsters. GetBadges rewards players with badges and display statistics in a monthly leaderboard and the goals are set by GameMaster. We have a lot of ideas how to improve it, but I think the most important now is to concentrate on game mechanics and how to more fully engage players.
What do you think about it?

OK, I'm not really stating he is the weakest, just saying his hype is not enough for the common opinion that he is in fact the strongest.
If we think about it, chances are that Shanks was the newest Yonko before BB, he's fairly young and both Big Mom and Kaido seem to be top tier for a while now. So let's do the hype on each one of them.
- Strongest creature, I believe it was said that on a one-on-one fight Kaido always wins
- Huge crew with according to the minks endless ships and over 500 Smileys
- Ridiculous hype on the 3 Calamities
- Immortal
- Rules a country full of Samurai
- Rio Polenglyph
Big MOM
- Highly influencial, seems to have a huge info network, and countless aliances based on her family
- Owns a Nation full of the most variate races and most likely powers
- Weird fairy tale power, no daught it will be something quite rare
- Likely the oldest Yonko
- Gonna be hyped beyond mesure through the new arc
- Rio Polenglyph
- Strong crew, both BB and Akainu refrained from clashing with him at Marineford
- Good chances he has the strongest haki ever showed
- Swordsman skills were enough to doodle with Mihawk
- Crazy phisycal strenght, split a cloud once
- 2 of the strongest DFs on him
- 10 titanic captains
- Seems to know how to steal and pass Dfs around
- 2 major wins against Revolutionaries and WB's leftovers
- Bound to be one of the strongest characters by the end of the series
The point is Shanks is strong, but a beat up BB and Akainu steping aside is something any Yonko would cause at the time. His crew always shows up together and on a single ship, plus not a single pirate crew was showed to work under them, might be less influencial then the others. He might have the strongest haki, maybe. But so far nothing unique was showed, he's not even the strongest swordsman. Might take newbie BB, but he pales in comparison to the other Yonko.

Build your vocabulary with Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day! Each day a Merriam-Webster editor offers insight into a fascinating new word -- explaining its meaning, current use, and little-known details about its origin.
June 10th, 2015
Episode 222 of 923 episodes
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 10, 2015 is: bellwether \BEL-WEH-ther\ noun : one that takes the lead or initiative : leader; also : an indicator of trends Examples: The company has long been viewed as a bellwether for the tech market, so analysts are watching it closely. "Plus, on an increasingly divided council, and in a new district elections system inviting wholesale change, Godden's race could be a bellwether for how incumbents are faring this election year." Heidi Groover, The Stranger, May 13, 2015 Did you know? We usually think of sheep more as followers than leaders, but in a flock one sheep must lead the way. Long ago, it was common practice for shepherds to hang a bell around the neck of one sheep in their flock, thereby designating it the lead sheep. This animal was called the bellwether, a word formed by a combination of the Middle English words belle (meaning "bell") and wether (a noun that refers to a male sheep that has been castrated). It eventually followed that bellwether would come to refer to someone who takes initiative or who actively establishes a trend that is taken up by others. This usage first appeared in English in the 13th century.

Former AVN editor-in-chief turned XXX director Mike Ramone has a reputation for concocting some of the most gleefully nasty porn scenarios ever seen (to find out why, see the positively felchariffic "Cum Fart Tsunami" in particular). His directorial efforts for Robert Hill Releasing Co. are all delightfully depraved in the most fun-loving ways possible. In other words, as dark as it could be to suffer at the hands of a satanic nun in real life, in a Mike Ramone movie it looks like a great way to spend a Saturday. "Mistress Strap-On: Sado Bitch" is packed with beautiful and domineering women who love nothing more than lording it over a man on his knees.
Pretty Delilah Strong is dressed up like the aforementioned satanic nun in scene one, complete with pentagram necklace, and dishes out abuse verbally AND orally… as well as, um, crotchally. The piece de resistance is the Virgin Mary dildo strapped to her crotch. She tells her subby he doesn't turn her on in the least as he slaps his own reddened face with Mother Mary and enthusiastically slobs all over it. Spitting in his mouth, Delilah asks if he would suck God's dick if asked. That's not the end of the religious trash-talk, either, so the easily offended will be shocked and those who enjoy shock will have a blast. She lays him on his back and fucks his mouth while slapping his face hard enough to make you wince. Producing a bright white dildo with a cross-shaped handle, Delilah seems to stab his gaping mouth with it so hard that it's surprising he doesn't puke. She decides to make use of his other end and, with plenty of lube, works her way up to the fingers of both hands stretching him open while he sucks the white cross dildo. The ass-whooping commences as she works that strap-on into his loosened asshole and proves herself to be a sister of no mercy. Having doused him with lube from head to toe, Delilah ass-fucks her sub up against the giant cross on the wall. She finishes by tying him to it at the neck and making him jerk off onto her boots and lick them clean. Sacrilege was never so sexy.
Hot blonde Carly Parker lights a cigarette off a candle as she sits in a chair styled like a spider web. Gazing into the camera with a bored-annoyed look, she smokes as we hear the muffled sounds of a man sucking cock. The camera pans down to a sub in a "dick through the head" headband sucking her strap-on. Carly unleashes a loud, filthy, and funny torrent of verbal abuse made more cringe-worthy knowing that they're filming next door to some kind of fundamentalist church's choir practice, but this isn't a religious-themed scene like the first. It's about as profane as it gets, though, so if you're into foul-mouthed Dommes, you'll love Carly. Her pack-a-day voice barking nasty insults will stick with you like the welts she produces on her sub's ass with the riding crop. Making his humiliation complete, Carly puts her sub in a pig mask and later swaps it for girly wigs as she fucks him in the ass. Watch for a cameo near the end of the scene from Dana DeArmond, Carly's other sub, of whom she is much fonder.
Last, but decidedly not least, is the scene where Annette Schwarz and Annie Cruz team up on one hapless sub in a jail cell. After all the time they've spent being human cum-buckets, it's understandable that these girls would want to dish out what they've been taking and boy, are they hostile. Fucking him in the ass and dousing him with squirt are not degrading enough for their liking. They make him clean the toilet with his tongue and even though they are merciful enough to let him cum, that doesn't mean he'll get away with not licking that up as well. Those with a boner for powerful Euro babes will be over the moon for Annette's aggressive performance, while squirting fans will enjoy Annie's multiple gushers. Speaking of things that are wet, Annette sprays him with what looks like milk shooting out of her pussy. Both women smoke throughout the scene, adding another layer of kinky appeal.
Femdom movies can sometimes feel like those involved are trying to tick off all the boxes on a checklist, but "Mistress Strap-On: Sado Bitch" gives the impression that Mike Ramone pointed the camera and let the girls roll with it. This naturalistic kind of kink is welcome and could put this on your Favorites list for sure.

Mobile App Puts Personal Dietitian in the Palm of Your Hand
Evincii, a Mountain View, Calif.-based developer of search technology, yesterday launched "Shop to Lose," the second offering from its PICKKA line of mobile applications for health and wellness to guide consumers in making healthy food choices.
Evincii, a Mountain View, Calif.-based developer of search technology, yesterday launched "Shop to Lose," the second offering from its PICKKA line of mobile applications for health and wellness to guide consumers in making healthy food choices.
"It's the root of any diet — we eat what we buy," said Dr. Charlie Koo, founder and CEO of Evincii. "Every visit to a supermarket or restaurant is an opportunity to violate our dieting effort. A 'dietitian in the pocket' will keep us honest every step of the way. Shop to Lose takes the guesswork out of weight loss and healthy eating by recommending personalized food products based on health conditions and diet restrictions."
Shop to Lose employs its patent-pending expert-guided search technology to cover the entire lifecycle of healthy eating and weight control, from planning to buying to eating to managing. It was designed to provide advice on all types of foods, from fresh to packaged to restaurant meals, and accommodates prevalent diet choices and health conditions. Recommendations are made from a nutrition-expert-verified knowledge base of 130,000 packaged food items and tens of thousands of restaurants, according to an individual's health needs, just as would be made by a dietitian.
"PICKKA's Shop to Lose is revolutionary and makes front-of-pack labeling instantly obsolete," said Dr. Adam Drewnowski, nutrition expert and the director of the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington in Seattle. "You can make instant product comparisons while shopping, and recommendations are personalized. It even tracks daily progress toward your weight goals and allows you to engage your friends' support."
A consumer looking for frozen pizza in a store, for example, can easily select it on Shop to Lose based on his or her specific health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure. A select list of pizzas that meet the specified health profile will then be displayed, along with nutrition facts and personalized advice, before making a decision.
Shop to Lose also tracks shoppers' product purchases over time to help users manage the "what to buy" portion of their programs, to ensure that their pantries are stocked with the right foods for weight loss and healthy eating objectives. Shop to Lose further equips shoppers with its smart Shopping List Builder that streamlines the list-creation process for virtually all grocery items for the entire family.
The app features self-tracking tools and social networking support, including multiple ways to engage friends and family to keep the consumer going until the health objective is achieved. A user can invite friends to cheer him or her on, or set up friendly wagers by betting that he or she will meet a weight loss goal.
PICKKA Shop to Lose is available free of charge for the next six months at www.PICKKA.com/Shoptolose, or in the Apple App Store at http://www.pickka.com/shoptolose/getiphoneapp.html for iPhone.

A businessman, who was snatched from a New York street in broad daylight, was bound and burned with acid while being held captive for a month in a city warehouse for a US$3 million ransom his family in Ecuador did not have, US authorities said.
Pedro Portugal, 52, was rescued this week by detectives who had monitored phone calls, noticed pizza deliveries to a deserted area in the borough of Queens and zeroed in on the warehouse, police said. Three men were arrested and charged with kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. One is still believed to be at large in the US, and three fled to Ecuador, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Portugal, a father of six who owned a small accounting and tax firm, was burned with acid and spent the better part of a month with his head cloaked, authorities said.
He remained in hospital on Thursday, and authorities said he did not want to speak to the press.
Police said Portugal was approached by three captors on April 18. One flashed what looked like a police badge and called out the victim's name, police said. He was forced into a sports utility vehicle where he was held at knifepoint and bound, then taken to the warehouse.
His mother in Quito, Ecuador, got a call from a man calling himself "Tito" and demanding the ransom, police said.
Kelly said the family had some property but nowhere near enough cash to come up with the sum that was demanded. Five detectives were sent to Ecuador to learn more about the victim and his family. "It's something that we're still investigating … why these people thought that US$3 million might have been available," Kelly said.
Meanwhile, Portugal was burned, beaten and threatened with mutilation and death, authorities said, including threats to cut off his fingertips if the family did not come up with the cash. The man "suffered physical injuries and has been deeply traumatised by the ordeal", said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
On May 20, investigators who had been searching the area noticed a light upstairs in an otherwise dark warehouse. They discovered Portugal with his hands bound in a makeshift apartment.
"The person who was 'babysitting' him, as they called it, got away, but he was arrested very quickly," Kelly said.
Christian Acuna, 35, Dennis Alves, 32, and Eduardo Moncayo were arraigned late on Wednesday and were being held without bail.
According to legal documents, Moncayo said he met a man named Claudio Ordonez, known as "Doctor", and they agreed to kidnap Portugal. The men were accused of being paid between US$800 per week and US$5,000 in total by Ordonez to stay with Portugal at the warehouse.

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement A/C Condenser to fix your vehicle. Chevrolet car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of reliability when driving their K2500 around town. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. The lifeblood of the air conditioning system is a refrigerant called R134a. The refrigerant emits cold air after a simple thermal reaction, and the A/C condenser on your Chevrolet K2500 acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You will usually find your Chevrolet K2500 A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If you notice the A/C condenser is leaking, then only mild or slightly cool air will blow into your interior because it is losing refrigerant.
Procuring new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement K2500 parts on the internet. Bring your K2500 back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Chevrolet requires a top quality replacement A/C Condenser, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Chevrolet K2500 A/C Condenser parts for 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

STEVENSVILLE, MD – The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) will temporarily hold traffic in both directions on the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge (US 50/301) and Francis Scott Key Bridge (I-695) during passage of a marine vessel carrying four large cranes. This crane delivery will postpone by one day the start of the continuous (24/7) single-lane closure associated with the I-895/K-Truss steel bridge repair project.
On Wednesday, June 20, traffic on the Bay Bridge will be held at approximately 1:15 p.m. for about 40 minutes; traffic on the Key Bridge will be held at approximately 3:15 p.m. for about 20 minutes. Times and durations are approximate and dependent upon the vessel's progress.
Since the Key Bridge is an alternate route for the I-895/K-Truss repair project, the continuous (24/7) single-lane closure on I-895 will be postponed until the evening of Wednesday, June 20. Most motorists will notice the lane closure during morning rush hour on Thursday, June 21, and should use the Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95) or the Key Bridge (I-695) as alternate routes.
This action is being taken to ensure that motorists are not distracted while traveling the Bay and Key bridges during the passage of this marine vessel transporting four large, fourteen-story cranes up the Chesapeake Bay to the Seagirt Marine Terminal. The MDTA Engineering, Operations and Police Divisions are coordinating with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Pilot's Association. To learn more about the cranes and their delivery, visit the Maryland Port Administration's website mpa.maryland.gov. To learn more about the I-895 K-Truss steel bridge repairs or to view real-time traffic camera images on MDTA roadways, visit mdta.maryland.gov.

Having read Reading Magic: Why Reading Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever by Mem Fox, I want to recommend it to parents, teachers, and all caregivers of very young children. When I first wrote my article about Mem Fox, I mentioned that Mem Fox has a passion for teaching, writing and literacy. At that time, I was most familiar with the more than two dozen children's picture books the popular Australian author has written. These include Possum Magic, Time for Bed, and Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild! I had not realized she was also well known as a literacy consultant.

My Perspective

For almost my entire career, I have been involved in some form of education, and for six years, I was an early childhood educator. I am the mother of two children, a daughter who embraced reading from the get-go and a son who didn't become an avid reader until late high school. I also have an eighteen month old granddaughter and a five year old grandson. When I read Mem Fox's Reading Magic, my first thought was that teachers could use the book as a blueprint for parent workshops, and parents could use it to understand the specific details of how to most effectively read aloud to their children. However, I had one big concern.

My Concern

I am concerned that people won't take the book as seriously as they should because of the lack of references to studies that have confirmed the value of reading aloud to very young children. Because of the lack of all but anecdotal evidence about the benefits of reading aloud, some readers may not feel comfortable about the validity of what Fox espouses. I don't question that what she says is valid. I think Reading Magic is an important book, one that those who care for young children should both read and follow. This belief is based on my own teaching and parenting experiences. However, I think it was a mistake to omit documentation about the benefits of reading aloud.

On Target Advice About Reading Aloud

That said, let me tell you why I like the book so much. Reading Magic is written in an easy-to-read informal style with a refreshing lack of jargon. With humor and enthusiasm, Fox covers what to read, when to read, and how to read. She suggests that you establish a nightly ritual of reading aloud to your child. The ideal would be to read three books: one favorite, one familiar, and one new book. Fox also provides some helpful tips on expressive reading, with advice on varying your facial expressions and your voice.

Fox particularly emphasizes the attitude that parents need to have. Reading aloud sessions should be relaxed times of fun for both parent and child. Fox recommends playing simple, silly games along with reading aloud to emphasize rhyming, how to hold a book, and how to turn the pages correctly. Try turning the pages from back to front or holding the book upside down and see how your preschooler responds. Fox suggests taking a familiar book, like Little Red Riding Hood, and seeing what happens when you act as if it were The Three Little Pigs. By the time you finish the book, you will agree with Fox that "The fire of literacy is created by the emotional sparks between a child, a book, and the person reading."

As you may know, the latest brain research has revealed how critically important a child's early years are. As Fox states in Reading Magic, reading aloud to your kids impacts their brain development. Done properly, reading aloud to your children can also make them feel loved, spark their imaginations, and ignite a lifelong enthusiasm for reading. When your child is ready to read, it should be a snap because s/he will already have so many of the skills needed for reading due to your commitment to daily read aloud sessions. (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, second edition, 2008. ISBN: 9780156035101)
