Pentaho Brings Its Big Data Tools To Intel's Hadoop, Amazon's Redshift
Intel's new Apache Hadoop distribution Amazon's Redshift database
Speaking with CRN Wednesday at the big-data-focused Strata event in Santa Clara, Calif., Eddie White, executive vice president of business development at Pentaho, said the new partnerships will help fuel the adoption of Pentaho's data integration and BI tools among organizations it may not otherwise be able to reach.
"There's a tremendous level of very high-end, enterprise exposure, especially from the Intel perspective," White said.

Pentaho's partnership with Intel is based on an OEM model, through which Intel will bundle Pentaho's big data solutions for data management and integration, along with Pentaho's BI and analytics suite, with its own Apache Hadoop distribution, unveiled earlier this week. The chip maker also announced a strategic alliance with SAP and number of other software vendors related to its new big data platform, but White said the nature of Pentaho's OEM partnership with Intel is unique.
"We're the only OEM in the distribution," White said. "[Intel] has a couple of key partners ... but the OEM piece is us. The distribution is the Apache Hadoop distribution and then we are the embedded analytics and ETL capability."
Pentaho also will integrate its big data platform into Amazon's new cloud-based Redshift data warehouse. Users will be able to leverage Redshift's automation of tasks, including setting up and operating a data warehouse cluster, and then use Pentaho's analytics suite to analyze the data residing in those clusters.
White said Pentaho's expanding ecosystem of partners speaks to the one-stop-shop nature of its platform; Pentaho not only provides the data integration capabilities to move data from traditional relational databases to Hadoop-based ones, but also can cleanse that data. A suite of BI tools -- ranging from reports, to dashboards, to predictive analytics models -- can then derive value from that data.
Pentaho sells predominantly direct in the U.S. but sells almost entirely through the channel in Europe. But White said as the big data market continues to mature, Pentaho plans to build up its North American channel, particularly to target federal agencies.
"The big data market probably needs another year to 18 months to mature to the point where you are going to have your traditional VARs attempt that," White said. "But you will see us expand our government model, because the government is a very channel-driven model. You've got to work the channel dynamics."

Scientists find that normal breast cells help kill cancer cells
It is well known that the human body has a highly developed immune system to detect and destroy invading pathogens and tumor cells. Now, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have shown that the body has a second line of defense against cancer – healthy cells. A new study shows that normal mammary epithelial cells, as they are developing, secrete interleukin 25, a protein known for its role in the immune system's response to inflammation, for the express purpose of killing nearby breast cancer cells.
"We found that normal breast cells provide an innate defense mechanism against cancer by producing interleukin 25 (IL25) to actively and specifically kill breast cancer cells," says breast cancer authority Mina Bissell, of Berkeley Lab's Life Sciences Division, who led this research. "This suggests that IL25 receptor signaling may provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer."
The results of this research are reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine in a paper titled "IL25 Causes Apoptosis of IL25R-expressing Breast Cancer Cells Without Toxicity to Nonmalignant Cells." Co-authoring the paper with Bissell were Saori Furuta, Yung-Ming Jeng, Longen Zhou, Lan Huang, Irene Kuhn and Wen-Hwa Lee, of the University of California, Irvine, who along with Bissell is a corresponding author.
Although cancer remains a leading cause of premature death in the world today, most people live cancer-free lives for decades. In fact, the rate of cancer disease in the human population is surprisingly low given that the cells in our bodies are exposed on a daily basis throughout our lifetimes to radiation and chemical damage, plus a host of other factors that promote harmful DNA mutations and malignant tumors. It is not as if mutant cells are not being generated, explains Saori Furuta, lead author of the Science Translational Medicine paper and a Berkeley Lab colleague of Bissell's.
"Even healthy individuals produce genetically impaired cells at the rate of up to 1,000 aberrant cells per day, however, as a part of homeostatic regulations, these cancer-prone cells are efficiently eradicated by the so- called tumor surveillance system of our body," Furuta says. "A number of tumor surveillance mechanisms have been described in the past, including the classic molecular tumor suppressors, immune surveillance, and suppression by the extracellular matrix and other microenvironmental factors. We are now adding a new type of tumor suppression to this list, IL25 and other proteins secreted by normal breast cells that kill or subdue their mutated neighbors."
In their study, Furuta, Bissell, Lee and their colleagues found that whereas IL25 was highly toxic to breast cancer cells, it did not harm normal breast cells. The selectivity, they discovered, is due to the presence of an abundance of exposed IL25 receptors on breast cancer cells. These IL25 receptors were absent on normal breast cells.
"Since IL25 is produced by healthy breast tissue as a natural defense mechanism against cancer during the cell differentiation process, we should be able to utilize IL25/IL25 receptor signaling as an organic approach to breast cancer therapy," Furuta says.
Normal epithelial cells, in cooperation with the microenvironment that surrounds them, actively help
maintain the health and integrity of tissue. They do this in part by regulating the secretion of cell signaling factors – both autocrine and paracrine - that promote the development of healthy organs and prevent the aberrant growth of neighboring cells. In previous studies, Furuta and collaborators have shown that conditioned-medium, taken from normal mammary epithelial cells while in the process of forming acini in a 3D lamin-rich extracellular matrix culture, can "revert" the malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells so that they behave as if they were normal breast cells. Similar results were also achieved with certain cell signaling inhibitors.
Says Bissell, "These observation suggested that acinus-forming nonmalignant mammary epithelial cells secrete factors that can suppress the phenotype of breast cancer cells growing in 3D cultures. We hypothesized that such a complex phenotypical reversion is likely the result of multiple signaling factors that in combination allow cancer cells to form quiescent acinar-like structures. We sought to identify and characterize these factors using solubility and size-fractionation of the conditioned medium from normal mammary epithelial cells, along with functional assays to identify the active molecules."
Fractionating the conditioned medium first by solubility revealed that its tumor suppressive activity could be divided into a morphogenic insoluble fraction and a cytotoxic soluble fraction. Fractionating this cytotoxic soluble portion according to molecule size revealed that the most potent tumor cell–killing activity took place in the 10-to 50-kiloDalton range, which would be something the size of a protein. Mass spectrometry was then used to identify the cytokine IL25 as the protein with the most potent cytotoxic activity. Subsequent functional assays revealed that IL25 interacts with the IL25 receptor to activate apoptosis (cell death).
"We analyzed randomized cohorts of breast biopsy samples and found that 20-percent of the breast cancer samples tested were IL25 receptor-positive," Furuta says. "Importantly, these IL25 receptor-positive tumors were highly invasive and correlated to poor clinical outcome patients. We believe that in the future the IL25 receptor will serve as a novel therapeutic marker for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment."
Furuta says she and Bissell and their colleagues are now looking at five other proteins they discovered being secreted by normal developing breast cells. While these other proteins are cytostatic rather than cytotoxic, meaning they stop the growth of cancer cells rather than kill the cells, Furuta says she and her colleagues are investigating whether combinations of these other proteins with IL25 could prove to be an effective therapy against some forms of especially aggressive breast and other cancers.

Consumer advocates are disappointed by a Michigan Supreme Court decision.
The high court today reversed an appeals court decision which found the mortgage industry violated state law by using a national group to file foreclosure notices in Michigan.
The lower court found the Mortgage Electronic Registration System, or MERS, didn't have an interest in the mortgage and thus was not allowed to file the foreclosure paperwork.
Lorray Brown is with the Michigan Poverty Law Program. Brown said the Supreme Court used "tortured" legal analysis to avoid following the strict wording of the law.
"I think this is a clear case of strict statutory construction and the statute says what it says," said Brown.
An attorney for the Michigan Bankers Association praised the court's decision. Attorney James Breay said it prevents the voiding of thousands of home foreclosures in Michigan.
"This decision will avoid…the possibility of a ruling that could otherwise have created chaos in Michigan's residential mortgage market," said Breay.
MERS is facing other legal challenges, including a potential class action suit involving Michigan counties that accuse MERS of not paying taxes on property transfers.

Shortly after 7 a.m. on a chilly morning at the Rosh Hanikra military base in northernmost Israel, Lieutenant Colonel Yogev Bar Sheshet was already on his third Diet Coke. He apologized for his jumpiness. "I don't sleep much anymore," he said. A thin man with close-cropped hair and wire-rimmed glasses, Bar Sheshet commands an infantry battalion at this heavily fortified outpost by the Lebanese border, where his troops form part of the first line of defense against Hezbollah. Until recently, his sentries could focus on the rocky hills and valleys before them, employing sensitive security cameras, motion detectors, and infrared surveillance equipment to scan for infiltrators trying to sneak past on foot. Now they watch the skies, too, on the lookout for unmanned aircraft. Last July, a shiny object flew past the base and came to a landing nearby. The officer rushed out a team to comb the area. Eventually, the searchers found their quarry: a bundle of Mylar Happy Birthday balloons. "The drones have all of us a bit on edge," Bar Sheshet said.
There is ample reason for concern. Over the past 18 months, drones piloted by Hezbollah—but almost certainly built and supplied by its patron, Iran—have penetrated Israeli airspace, coming unnervingly close to key infrastructure sites and major population centers. Soon, they may be joined by others sent by Hamas: In October, near the West Bank city of Hebron, Palestinian security personnel arrested a team of operatives preparing to launch a drone packed with explosives. The events have set off alarms within the Israeli Defense Forces, which last April released a statement declaring unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be a serious threat to the country.
Hezbollah's drones represent the next evolution of warfare-by-remote-control, when weaponized robotic planes give terrorist groups de facto air forces. As Matthew Levitt, director of the Washington Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, points out, each flight into Israel is at minimum a significant propaganda victory for the militia. "They gain more credibility anytime they compete with the mighty Israeli air force," he says. "They love being able to say, 'Israel is infiltrating our airspace, so we'll infiltrate theirs, drone for drone.' " At the same time, Levitt adds, "If Israelis don't feel like their government is in complete control of the airspace around the border, that's something that could cause real panic." But the stakes extend far beyond the psychological. Drones flown kamikaze style could easily match the casualties of a suicide bombing and be much harder to stop. Hezbollah's unmanned aircraft could also improve its planning of future offensives by providing surveillance footage of Israeli border facilities and troop movements.
The biggest fear, however, is that drones might increase the deadliness of Hezbollah rockets. The militia fired roughly 4,000 missiles into Israel during its 2006 war with the country, killing 43 civilians and leveling several dozen buildings—tactically speaking, an abysmal accuracy rate. Hezbollah is thought to now have a stockpile of roughly 60,000 projectiles, triple the amount it had back then, and some of them are capable of reaching Tel Aviv. American and Israeli intelligence officials believe the Iranian-made missiles were disassembled, loaded onto cargo planes, flown through Iraqi airspace to Syria, then trucked into Lebanon and put back together by militia engineers. The armaments, once fully operational, give Hezbollah, Tehran's main proxy, a powerful way of retaliating for any Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities—that is, as long as Hezbollah can consistently hit its targets, rather than rain missiles on the Mediterranean or empty fields. Drones give the group a way to see where its rockets land and calibrate further strikes for greater precision. "Right now, Hezbollah just shoots rockets into the air and hopes they hit something," an Israeli security official told me. "The drones change the equation. They can relay back information so Hezbollah can [improve] its targeting. They can provide them with real-time intelligence and flexibility."
Israel, for its part, boasts one of the most extensive, sophisticated, and deadly drone fleets in the world. In Gaza City, local slang has its own word for the crafts—zenanas—and residents have come to recognize them by their sonic signatures. "We all know the different sounds," says a man whose son, a Hamas fighter, was killed by a drone strike in November 2012. "With an F-16 or an Apache, we hear two sounds—one when the missile is fired, one when it hits. With a drone, we only hear the sound of the missile."
Israel is doing all it can to prevent its citizens from acquiring the same grim knowledge. Last December, a senior Hezbollah official named Hassan Lakkis was sitting in his SUV in a parking lot southwest of Beirut when gunmen walked up and fatally shot him in the head with a silenced 9-mm handgun. A source close to the militia told The Daily Star that Lakkis had "played a key role in developing Hezbollah's unmanned aerial vehicles program."
But assassinating Hezbollah agents through daring special ops is easier than keeping the militia's drones out. Israel's vaunted Iron Dome system, developed with significant U.S. funding, can track and then destroy incoming rockets in midair. It has also been of little use in stopping unmanned aircraft. "It's very complicated to defend against the drones, because they're so difficult to spot," Bar Sheshet told me, standing near a sandbagged machine-gun nest at Rosh Hanikra. For all the cutting-edge military technology at their disposal, his soldiers have been reduced to relying on their eyes and ears.
Long before the United States ever dispatched a Predator to kill a suspected Al Qaeda member, Iran had its drone program well underway. In its case, bloodshed was the mother of invention. During the first years of Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, Iran lost thousands of troops. The government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ordered his top military commanders to reduce those numbers; unmanned aircraft were the answer they came up with. Iran's first drone, the Mohajer, spied on Iraqi infantry positions, yielding intel that helped Iranian units avoid walking into slaughters. Tehran attempted to outfit other early drones with rocket-propelled grenade launchers, according to GlobalSecurity.org, but it would take years of experimentation to come up with a drone that could reliably threaten its hated rival.
In 2004, Iran ferried an update of the Mohajer, called the Mirsad, to Hezbollah, almost certainly via Syria. The drone appears to have caught Israeli intelligence off guard: Roughly the size of a large kite, the Mirsad—Arabic for "ambush"—took off from somewhere in Lebanon, flew into northern Israel, and hovered over the town of Nahariya for about 30 minutes before heading back from where it had come, all before Israeli forces could intercept it. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah told a rally in Beirut that the militia's future drone missions would have less benign objectives. The Mirsad, he told the crowd, could reach "deep, deep" into Israel and "be laden with a quantity of explosives, forty to fifty kilograms, and hit any target, be it water or power plant, a military base or airport."
The following April, Hezbollah made another drone foray into Israel and again eluded Israeli radar. During the 2006 war, it attempted an even bolder attack, deploying three small, unmanned aircraft bearing warheads packed with at least 60 pounds of explosives and pieces of metal intended to maximize carnage on the ground. One of the drones made it as far as the outskirts of Haifa, a port city with a population of nearly 300,000 people, before an Israeli F-16 took it out. The second was shot down over Kibbutz Cabri, in the Western Galilee, the third near the seaside Lebanese city of Tyre. Israeli media reported at the time that each of the crafts were Ababil models made by Iran.
"It is ... possible that the UAV was launched to send a message," a senior Israeli military officer told The Jerusalem Post after the attack. If so, it was duly received. Then, as suddenly as they had materialized, the drones stopped coming. But not because Iran had lost interest in their potential.
One reason that Tehran has used Hezbollah to launch its drones into Israel is of course political. The outsourcing gives it a measure of deniability, which in turn constrains Israel's ability to build a public case for retaliation. The other reason is technological. The more than 700 miles between the western border of Iran and the eastern border of Israel has been too far for Iran's drones to traverse. Flying them out of Lebanon overcomes that obstacle. But it still leaves others to surmount.
To be truly effective at surveillance, drones need to be able to stay aloft for half a day or more. Arming them with guidable missiles or bombs—rather than crudely affixing them with explosives, as Hezbollah did to its older drones—adds hundreds of pounds of weight that reduces their flight range. A more powerful engine can compensate for that, though it just creates new aeronautics problems to solve. Much about Iran's current drone fleet remains unknown; much of what the country has revealed about the program may be hyperbole. But the evidence suggests that Iran spent the years after its 2006 raid markedly increasing the damage its drones can do.
In the summer of 2010, then–Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ringed by an array of the country's top military officials, stood on a stage in Tehran and watched as women in chadors pulled up a blue curtain and unveiled a gold-colored drone that he dubbed the "ambassador of death." The new aircraft, according to Iran, could carry four cruise missiles or two large bombs, but its range remained modest, at a stated 600 miles. Last November, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan announced that engineers from the Iranian Aircraft Manufacturing Industries had produced a missile-bearing drone called the Fotros, which he said could fly more than 1,200 miles and stay aloft for 30 hours.
Soon, the capabilities of Iranian drones may exceed even those harrowing stats. In December 2011, a long-range, radar-evading U.S. RQ-170 surveillance drone took off in Afghanistan and mysteriously landed hours later at an Iranian airbase. Tehran claims that it brought down the RQ-170 after hacking into its control systems and has been diligently reverse-engineering the aircraft. If those efforts pay off, Iran could be able to build adaptations of one of the most advanced drones in the world.
That's not to say that Israel is at risk of getting outgunned. The country spends more across the board on drones than almost any other and has become the largest exporter of unmanned aircraft in the world. (Frost & Sullivan, a U.S. consultancy, estimates that Israel sold more than $4.6 billion worth of drones and support systems to foreign governments between 2005 and 2012, nearly double the amount exported by the United States.) Its most fearsome unmanned aircraft, the Heron TP, has a range of more than 4,600 miles and a flight time of nearly 70 hours. One afternoon, the deputy commander of the drone squadron at Israel's Palmachim airbase, Major Shai (Israeli military policy bars the disclosure of air force officers' last names for security reasons), allowed me a peek inside one of the green trailers that houses the personnel who pilot the devices. Inside were six terminals outfitted with screens displaying drone footage and topographical maps. Major Shai told me that Israeli Special Forces officers and intelligence personnel regularly take up posts in the trailers during drone missions. He declined to say what they were there to do, though it's not hard to guess.
The Israeli military has never confirmed that it even possesses armed drones, much less that it assassinates militants with them. But privately, security officials admit to the practice, and only the United States deploys drones for killing more frequently. For Israel, increasing the potency of its unmanned aircraft isn't the issue. Its challenge is instead to determine how aggressively it can use its drone firepower without its tactics becoming counterproductive.
In separate interviews, two retired senior Israeli military officers expressed concern that their country may be coming down on the wrong side of that line. So many things can go wrong when sending traditional aircraft to hunt targets in Lebanon or the Gaza Strip. The plane or helicopter could get shot down. The pilot could misfire, wiping out scores of civilians. Accordingly, the Israeli government is very cautious about ordering such operations. The ex-military leaders worry that current policymakers have convinced themselves that drones can be used so surgically and with such scant downside that they may start taking out low-level militants who'd otherwise not even make the country's kill list. "In the past, you had to carefully balance the security benefit of removing a fighter from the battlefield against the prospect of a revenge attack," one of the former officers told me. "Drones can make it seem like you can kill someone without risks and costs. But there are always risks and costs. How many martyrs do you want to make?"
The same question gets asked in the debate over U.S. drone policy (and counterterrorism policy generally), of course. But when U.S. drones kill militants thousands of miles away from the mainland, distance prevents immediate revenge attacks on U.S. soil. The comrades of Israel's drone targets, on the other hand, live right next door. And their side has drones, too.
When Israeli troops spot a Hezbollah drone, the protocol is for F-16s stationed at the Ramat David Air Base near Tel Aviv to scramble to intercept it. When I visited last year, my guide, Major Ori, pointed to a wall near the complex housing the fighter planes. It was emblazoned with a passage from Psalms about "Barak," the Hebrew word for "lightning" and the Israeli air force's pet name for the fighter jet. Invocations of speed feel apt for drone-chasing missions, where every minute counts.
A year and a half ago, Hezbollah's drone incursions resumed as suddenly as they had stopped. On October 6, 2012, the Israeli military began tracking an unmanned aircraft as it flew south from Lebanon and out over the Mediterranean Sea. The drone banked to the east, swooped over the Gaza Strip, and crossed into Israel. Its flight path showed that the craft was headed in the direction of the Dimona nuclear facility, one of the most protected sites in the whole country.
The drone flew on, zooming over the Yatir Forest, a rolling expanse of pine trees, eucalyptus, and acacia. A pair of F-16s from Ramat David closed in. The pilot of one of the jets fixed the drone in his sights, sending it to the ground in a rain of fiery debris—but not before the device had managed to penetrate roughly 140 miles into Israel, deeper than any enemy aircraft in decades. Dimona lay just 20 miles away. The drone could have transmitted back pictures of the plant's layout and defenses. Had it actually struck the nuclear facility, the impact would not have done enough damage to trigger a nuclear meltdown, but the incident would certainly have caused a mass freak out.
The Israeli military raced to seal the crash site. Members of Unit 669, a specially trained search-and-rescue team, scoured the trees and trellises of Yatir for wreckage from the drone. After the soldiers left, Bedouin tribesman found parts they had missed, chunks of fuselage, bits of wings. The military engineers who later studied the craft concluded that it was fairly crude. But that only underscored the challenge for Israel as it tries to prevent Hezbollah from outdoing the October 2012 mission: It's the relative unsophistication of the militia's drones that makes them so elusive to Israeli detection systems. "It's physics," Major Ori explains. "Any object that flies slower is harder to see in the radar. Any object that flies lower, or is closer to the ground, is harder to see. A normal airplane would have no chance of getting into our space. A drone does." Soon enough, another one did: On April 25, 2013, an unmanned aircraft reached the coast near the city of Haifa, where an Israeli warplane knocked it out of the sky. Several Israeli security officials, while refusing to divulge details, told me that the country has been tweaking the Iron Dome to make it better at drone-spotting. But all evidence suggests that any such breakthrough is a long way off.
Meanwhile, progress on the home front inevitably presents new potential targets for Israel's enemies. For instance, to provide energy to its surging population, Israel is building massively expensive natural-gas platforms in the Mediterranean. The country's comptroller has warned that the sites lack adequate defenses against Hezbollah's "explicit threats" to harm them. They are also, says Levitt, "precisely the types of targets drones could hit, even if they're relatively low-tech."
What makes drone-on-drone warfare so destabilizing is that the rules of engagement still remain to be written. Should a flight by an unarmed aircraft be considered a mere provocation? Or a breach demanding retaliation—perhaps in the form of the limited airstrikes that Israel orders after rocket attacks? What if a drone that crashes on its own before reaching its intended destination is then found to be armed? And what if Hezbollah starts trying to knock Israel's own unmanned aircraft out of the sky? The United States faced a similar dilemma in November 2012 when Iran shot at—but didn't hit—an unarmed Predator drone flying over international waters in the Persian Gulf. Senior Pentagon officials considered a variety of military options before deciding against responding with force, for fear of sparking a wider conflagration. Israel is in the same uncharted territory when it comes to weighing the variables that Iranian drones introduce. "In general, you don't want to do anything that could cause an escalation unless you absolutely have to," one of the retired Israeli air force officers told me. "But drones are so new that there's an argument to be made that you should hit back disproportionately now and try to deter Hezbollah from using them as weapons in the future."
It may be that we're well past the point where deterrence is possible. Hezbollah has already developed its drone program; it already knows that it works. After the close call at Dimona two years ago, the militia publicly took credit for launching the Iranian-made craft. And more, it promised, were on their way. "Today, we are uncovering a small part of our capabilities," Hezbollah leader Nasrallah said in a speech carried on Hezbollah's TV station, Al Manar. "This is not the first time, and it will not be the last."

Industry on Track for Second Year of Improving Profits - Rising Fuel Costs Largely Offset by Increased Demand
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that the airline industry remains on track to deliver a second consecutive year of improved profitability. This is despite a slight downward revision to its industry outlook for 2014 to an industry profit of $18.7 billion from the previously forecast $19.7 billion.
The main driver of the downward revision is higher oil prices which are now expected to average $108.0/barrel (Brent) which is $3.5/barrel above previous projections. The $3 billion added cost on the industry's fuel bill is expected to be largely offset by stronger demand, especially for cargo, which is being supported by a strengthening global economy. Overall industry revenues are expected to rise to $745 billion ($2 billion greater than previously projected).
"In general, the outlook is positive. The cyclical economic upturn is supporting a strong demand environment. And that is compensating for the challenges of higher fuel costs related to geo-political instability. Overall industry returns, however, remain at an unsatisfactory level with a net profit margin of just 2.5%," said Tony Tyler, IATA's Director General and CEO.
The aviation industry retains on average $5.65/passenger in net profit. This is improved from $2.05 in 2012 and $4.13 in 2013. But it is below the $6.45 achieved in 2010.
"The efficiencies of improved industry structure through consolidation and joint ventures is providing more value to passengers and helping airlines to remain profitable even in difficult trading conditions. But we still need governments to understand the link between aviation-friendly policies and broader economic benefits. In many parts of the world the industry's innate power to drive prosperity through connectivity is compromised by high taxes, insufficient infrastructure and onerous regulation," said Tyler.
IATA outlook forecasts are estimates of the aggregate performance of the global air transport sector and should not be taken as an indicator of individual airline performance which can vary greatly in magnitude and direction from the global outlook.
Major Forecast Drivers
Fuel Prices: Fuel currently accounts for some 30% of the average airline cost structure. Recent tensions, including in the Ukraine, have sparked an upward trend. Oil prices are now expected to average $108/barrel (Brent) which is $3.5 higher than previously forecast. Jet fuel prices are also expected to be higher at $124.6/barrel which is a $1.7/barrel increase from previously forecast (and unchanged from 2013). Overall, fuel costs are expected to rise by some $3 billion to $213 billion compared to the December forecast.
Demand: Air travel demand remains strong and now demand for air cargo is growing.
Passenger demand has been strong throughout the recovery process. We expect passenger demand growth of 5.8% this year. That is slightly weaker than previously forecast (6.0%), but an improvement on the 5.3% growth for 2013. Passenger yields however are expected to deteriorate by 0.3%.
Cargo demand is showing the biggest improvement. Instead of the previously projected 2.1% growth, it now appears that air cargo is headed for 4.0% growth in 2014. And the yield decline will be moderated from the previously forecast 2.1% fall to a decline of 1.5%. Trading conditions remain challenging, but positive macro-economic trends are providing a much-needed boost. There are however, several major changes which continue to challenge the cargo business. Traditionally air cargo has grown only slightly less than world trade, at twice the rate of expansion of industrial production. The recent trend is for air cargo, world trade and industrial production to grow in tandem. The industry is growing more slowly than normal at this stage of the economic cycle. The "on-shoring" of production supply chains continues to impact the cargo business driven by:
- Protectionist measures which are dampening international trade and encouraging companies to "on-shore" supply chains, including many 'buy local' procurement policies. Some 500 protectionist measures have been documented by Global Trade Alert in 2012 alone.
- Relative changes in production costs. For example, US energy prices have dropped whereas Chinese wage rates continue to rise.
Ancillary Revenues: Airlines continue to introduce new product options for passengers which are boosting ancillary revenues. The average fare per departing passenger is expected to be about $181. Ancillary services may add almost $14 on top of this. Industry consensus continues to build on the need for New Distribution Capability. Pilot projects continue to be launched in anticipation of the expected US Department of Transportation approval later this year. Modernizing distribution standards will enable airlines to develop further innovations which enhance consumer choice and add value to the travel experience.
Global Economic Trends: GDP growth projections for 2014 have been raised to 2.9% (from 2.7%). Improvements in the global economic outlook are largely being driven by developed economies. Job creation in the US, the end of fiscal austerity in Europe and a much weaker yen are stimulating demand. While China appears to be continuing on a trajectory of impressive growth, key emerging economies such as India and Brazil face major economic challenges.
Emerging market volatility is further increased by the recent flow of capital into US dollar assets causing problems for emerging markets with current account deficits. Several emerging markets have taken steps to raise interest rates (despite soft economies) in order to stem larger currency exchange rate fluctuations. This is compounding their difficulties with economic growth.
Regional Performance
Regional performance by airlines highlights there is a wide range of challenges and opportunities. All regions are expected to see higher profits and EBIT margins in 2014 than in 2013.
North American airlines are expected to post a profit of $8.6 billion—the biggest contribution to industry profits. This is $300 million better than previously projected, reflecting the strength of the economic recovery in the US. The solid profitability of the North American industry is being driven by the efficiencies gained through consolidation and the contribution of ancillary revenues, which are most developed in the North American market. The anticipated $8.6 billion profit is more than double the $4.2 billion profit posted in 2010, the previous peak, and represents a third consecutive year of improving profitability. An anticipated EBIT margin of 6.5% is the strongest among the regions.
European airlines are expected to post a $3.1 billion profit. That is $100 million less than previously forecast, but more than double the $1.2 billion profit posted in 2013. EBIT margins remain weak (1.9%). While there is optimism over the end of the Eurozone recession and the winding down of austerity measures, major structural issues remain. The region's carriers are heavily impacted by high taxation, onerous regulation and infrastructure bottlenecks such as the failure of the Single European Sky. The region also faces the greatest exposure to the geopolitical conflict in the Ukraine.
Asia-Pacific airlines are expected to post profits of $3.7 billion and an EBIT margin of 3.4%. This is an improvement over 2013, helped by a slightly better outlook for cargo markets. Airlines in this region have the largest share of the international air cargo market. However, the turmoil in foreign exchange markets earlier this year has adversely affected growth prospects for large economies in the region like India and Indonesia. Even China has slowed, albeit to a much lesser extent. The resulting adverse impact on passenger revenues more than offsets the improvement in cargo. Our forecast for the profits of airlines in this region in 2014 is $400 million less than the previous projection.
Middle Eastern airlines are expected to post a $2.2 billion profit. This is an improvement on the $1.6 billion profit that the region's airlines made in 2013, but it is a $200 million downgrading from the previous forecast. Oil revenues from high oil prices are benefiting the home markets and the region's carriers continue to win market share in long-haul connections through the region's hubs. Cargo, in particular is experiencing strong growth as a result, partly, of tapping into newly emerging trade lanes such as those between Africa and Asia. This follows significant investments by Chinese companies in Africa.
Latin American airlines are expected to post a $1 billion profit. This is $500 million less than previously projected, following a weaker than expected improvement in 2013. But the outcome this year is still more than double the $400 million profit recorded in 2013. Poor economic performance in Argentina and Brazil are the main drivers of the reduced profitability expectations, along with the continued political and social unrest in Venezuela. An improved industry structure achieved through consolidation (within Brazil and across borders) and a closer matching of capacity to demand are driving improvements over the 2013 performance.
African airlines are expected to post a $100 million profit, unchanged from the previous forecast, but reversing the $100 million loss in 2013. Economic growth and network development by a handful of African airlines is leading growth. But profitability is far from being evenly spread across the continent. While African governments are committed to achieving world-class safety levels by 2015, the continent suffers from the lack of a holistic vision for the development of connectivity across its vast distances. Poor regulation and high infrastructure costs and an array of taxes and charges continue to hinder development. And intra-Africa connectivity is hampered by market access restrictions despite the commitments to liberalize recorded in the Yamoussoukro Declaration.
Risks and Government Policy
Airline profitability is highly sensitive to economic performance and geopolitical tensions. For example, while a resolution of the situation in the Ukraine is still far from clear, the rise in oil prices is being felt across the industry. Government policies cannot over-rule market forces; however they can create an environment in which aviation (and other industries) can thrive. In the case of aviation, it is a catalyst for prosperity supporting some $2.2 trillion of economic activity and over a third of world trade by value. It is therefore a common interest for governments to provide a policy environment in which airlines can successfully connect people, businesses and economies.
The policy threats to connectivity are many. For example the proliferation of passenger rights regimes and punitive regulations adds cost and confusion to airline operations without addressing the root causes for delays. Along with promoting guidelines for the development of passenger rights regulations that are in line with a global approach, the industry is strongly supporting the initiative of the International Civil Aviation Organization to develop global guidance in this area.
The situation in Venezuela is another major concern for the industry. The Venezuelan government's policies continue to ignore international obligations and block the repatriation of airline funds. In total, some $3.7 billion of airline money is being blocked. "The situation represents an unacceptable failure of the Venezuelan government to meet its commitments. Aviation provides vital connectivity to the Venezuelan economy. The government should not put this at risk," said Tyler.

Digging out your suitcase, deciding what to bring, panicking that you've forgotten something—it's no way to start a trip. That's why we've distilled the art of packing down to nine essential tips that will transform the way you pack, even if you're a lazy procrastinator.
Never Unpack Your Travel Items
You probably won't need your adapter, inflatable neck pillow, or mini laundry bag in daily life, so why bother unpacking them? Leave all of your travel items in your suitcase after a trip. That way, they'll be in your bag and ready to go when you need them. Plus, you won't have to worry about forgetting them if they're already packed.
Keep a Basket Handy
Do you wait until the last minute to pack? Keep a basket in your bedroom, laundry room, or bathroom that you can use to throw in items you'll need to pack as you come across them. This makes you less likely to forget these items; plus, you can just toss the contents of the basket(s) into your suitcase when you panic-pack right before leaving for the airport.
Commit to a Travel Uniform
I wear the same outfit every time I fly. I know that it's comfortable, presentable, and warm—key elements whether you're in the air for an hour or for 20 hours. Choose something from your wardrobe and commit to making it your travel uniform. That way, you won't have to stress over at least one outfit on your trip—you can just pull it on and go.
Buy Wrinkle-Free Clothing
You won't need to worry about carefully packing your items of clothing if they're made from wrinkle-free fabrics. Ball them up in your suitcase, crumple them at the bottom of your carry-on, whatever—you'll still look fresh and pulled together when you arrive in your destination.
Drop Off Your Laundry at a Laundromat
Anyone who lives in an apartment or a house without a washer/dryer is familiar with the joys of the "wash and fold" service that many laundromats offer. Simply drop off your dirty clothes and return a few hours later to collect your clean, perfectly folded laundry. The beauty of this service? You can simply drop the crisply folded clothing into your suitcase—no need to wash and fold clothing on your own. If you're really lazy, many Laundromats offer door-to-door services: You can have your dirty laundry picked up, cleaned, and delivered to you without ever leaving the house.
Keep Old Packing Lists
Odds are you end up taking trips that require you to pack similar items. Keep old packing lists from former vacations to the beach, ski resort, and city—that way, you'll always have a list of at least the basics. The best way to do this is to save lists on your computer or smartphone, so you're not scrambling to remember where you left handwritten packing lists.
Pre-Pack Your Toiletries Case
You know those small product samples that come free with purchase, after your haircut, or from the dentist (travel-sized toothpaste, anyone)? Keep those in your toiletries bag for the next time you travel. You can even take the hotel toiletries—keep them in your bag and you won't have to worry about decanting all your regular products into 3-1-1-sized bottles for your next flight.
Schedule a Packing Time
Time can get away from you before a trip, what with making sure that you're caught up at work, at home, and with the other responsibilities of daily life. Schedule a night well in advance of departure to pack. That way, you're not frantically last-minute packing at 1:00 a.m. on the day that you leave.
Buy Stuff When You Arrive
Decide that at your destination, you'll buy any toiletries or anything else you were too lazy to pack. The downside: You'll waste time, exert effort, and spend money to obtain these things while on your trip. But hey, that's a problem for future you, right?

It promised ample snow and sunny weather on a normally bare, rocky peak easily accessible by "super highway," thousands more hotel rooms than existed and a cross-country ski course that looked good on paper but would have cut through some people's backyards.
The airbrushed pitch worked, but after Denver won a bid to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, its plan unraveled amid questions about the environmental impact, ballooning costs and logistics of hosting such a big event in a quickly growing state.
Now, over four decades after Denver became the only city to withdraw as an Olympic host after winning a bid, it is exploring whether to try again after many cities have decided it's just not worth it.
The city is again growing, with low unemployment and a booming economy, and this time has a bigger airport, light rail, more hotels, seven professional sports teams and multiple stadiums. But the highway touted in '76 — Interstate 70, which connects Denver to the Rockies — has essentially remained the same. As the population of outdoor-loving Colorado has grown, the largely four-lane route is often gridlocked on weekends.
Meanwhile, the city also is trying to lure Amazon to open its second headquarters in the metro area, which already has many worried about growth, tax breaks and the rising cost of living.
The Olympic exploratory committee convened by Mayor Michael Hancock — which includes leaders of companies like Vail Resorts and Liberty Global, along with former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and ex-Denver Nugget Chauncey Billups — is mulling a privately funded games, estimated to cost $2 billion, without any mega projects. Organizers say the strategy could even leave the state with a surplus to fund I-70 improvements or other work.
Denver already faces stiff competition from Salt Lake City, which became the first U.S. city to announce its plans to bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics. Salt Lake said it could host without losing money thanks to existing venues and its expertise in putting on the 2002 Olympics. Reno, Nevada, is also considering a bid.
While some worry the Olympics will distract Denver from urgent problems like affordable housing and transportation, committee members stress that the games won't take money from those priorities and could potentially net $100 million to $200 million thanks to proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships and merchandise.
The panel had been in a rush to decide in March whether to pursue the 2026 or 2030 games but is now focused on 2030. The U.S. Olympic Committee announced in Pyeongchang that it will not pursue a 2026 bid unless the International Olympic Committee decides to award bids for both years at once. Denver's group now plans to make a recommendation to the mayor and governor by late April or early May, although chairman Rob Cohen said the exploratory committee would readjust its timeline if a dual bid becomes a possibility.
The International Olympic Committee is encouraging fewer billion-dollar projects and more facilities already in place after the lavish 2014 Olympics in Sochi. The three venues that would need to be built for a Denver-based Olympics — for Nordic skiing, ski jumping, bobsledding, luge and skeleton — would be temporary structures, said Cohen, CEO of insurance and wealth management company IMA Financial Group. The events could be spread around the state or concentrated along the Front Range.
The exploratory committee has been criticized for its lack of grassroots representation for meeting behind closed doors, but it recently invited community activists to serve on advisory groups and held online meetings with the public.
Architect Michael Wenham pondered the prospect of a Denver Olympics recently while at a park near downtown, noting it could be interesting to come up with environmentally friendly ways to host the Olympics. But he reconsidered when he thought about I-70 traffic. He can't remember the last time he headed to the mountains to snowboard on a weekend because of its traffic jams.
"High-speed buses with their own lane. That is the only way they're going to be able to do it," Wenham said.
Cohen said buses would be one possibility for moving people to the mountains quickly during the Olympics, as would giving truckers incentives to bypass I-70. He said some of the surplus could be used to improve the interstate or on another project that would benefit the state long-term, and noted the federal government helped pay to fix highways for Salt Lake City's 2002 Games.
In the years since Denver said no thanks, more cities have become wary of pursuing the Olympics in the face of public opposition and financial concerns.
Innsbruck, Austria, which hosted the 1976 Games after Denver backed out, decided against pursuing a 2026 bid when its promise to organize low-cost and sustainable games failed to convince residents. Other cities that have considered but dropped Olympic aspirations in recent years include St. Moritz and Davos, Switzerland, Krakow, Poland and Oslo, Norway.
Former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm, whose political career took off after he helped fight the 1976 Olympics, is trying to keep an open mind about Denver's latest go-around. The committee studying the issue includes savvy people with a track record of successful economic development projects, he said.
But even if Denver could pull it off, he's not sure what's in it for the city.
Lamm thinks officials tend to get seduced by the Olympics' glamour when they could spend their attention on the mundane things that support the economy, such as finding money for education and roads. That takes more campaigning and alliance-making in Colorado because of its strict tax and spending limits, which require voters to approve any tax hikes.
"There's many opportunities to make this a better state, and I don't see how the Olympics fit into that," he said.

Electronic Arts
TitanFall 2 and Battlefield 1 were the big tentpole titles that bookended Electronic Art's press conference. Between the two EA shooters and Activision's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, I am throwing my hat in the TitanFall 2 camp. The multiplayer looks looks like a hell of a time and the promise of free modes and maps seals the deal.
Battlefield 1 looks like a technical masterpiece but it didn't register an excitement on my end. It looked like Battlefield + WW1 which was exactly what I expected and that's why it was so disappointing to me. The shift to a more mobile and able player makes the grounded approach to Battlefield 1 look static to me. I guess what I wanted was a sequel Battlefield 2142 with mechs, wall running, jetpacks and other ridiculous possibilities and not the dirty grit of World War I.
They showed off Mass Effect: Andromeda but it's so tough to muster any excitement for a game that we've seen so little of. I need to see a Bethesda style 20 minute blowout session of the game.
Quake is back in hero shooter form and since I have no reverence for that series whatsoever, I came away indifferent. I'm more interested in the fact that Bethesda are doing their very best to revitalize id Software's franchises. They teased a new Wolfenstein which is by far the most exciting reveal of the conference.
The highlight of the show was Dishonored 2 receiving same gameplay showcase that Fallout 4 received last year. It's a great looking game and the fact that I haven't played the first Dishonored is a crime. I'm going to pre-order it but I have no idea if I'm going to keep that pre-order or just wait for a Black Friday discount. It does look very impressive though.
If there's one thing that Bethesda nailed for the past two years is the pace of the press conferences. Even when they're talking about a game that I have no interest in, they make it entertaining and brisk.
Microsoft's entire press conference lineup leaked and I still came away entertained and informed.
That Xbox One S is beautiful. I don't see myself picking one up but I am glad it exists. I just wish it didn't start at $399 CAD because that's the exact same price as the original which isn't the case in the U.S where it starts $50 lower than the old Xbox One.
The two standout games for me — and not in a positive way — were ReCore and Scalebound. ReCore looked a little rough from a tech perspective and Scalebound just looks boring.
On the flip side, Gears of War 4 and We Happy Few impressed. I'm ready for a new Gears of War 4 and it's good to see a disconcerting dystopian adventure game featuring clowns.
Project Scorpio's confirmation for 2017 and its promise of 4K gaming and VR in a console was the showstopper and makes me wonder what Sony are going to do with their Neo. This upcoming Xbox will be more powerful than Sony's Neo so how will they pitch it. They had the tech advantage with PlayStation 4 and if the rumored specs target are true, then Project Scorpio will have that talking point.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands? South Park? For Honor? None of those resonated — especially with their canned demos filled with unrealistic banter. The South Park demonstration went for far too long. Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Watch_Dogs 2 are Ubisoft open world games and For Honor doesn't look like my cup of tea. There was even an entire Assassin's Creed movie segment that I took a washroom break for because the entire conference up to that point was plodding along at a snail's pace.
The highlight of the show for me were Aisha Tyler, the enthusiasm of LeVar Burton for Star Trek VR and the reveal of Grow Up. But outside of those handful of moments, the Ubisoft press conference was disappointing.
Sony enjoys announcements and so do I which is why I was a fan of their press conference. They didn't showcase as much PlayStation VR as I thought but that was perfectly fine by me. There's a new God of War which appears to be a reboot of the franchise. Resident Evil VII looks interesting by being first person and more intimate. Kojima's new game was weird and perfectly Kojima.
The most impressive demonstration was Horizon: Zero Dawn. They showed off everything they needed to show without overstaying its welcome. Sony's Bend new game Days Gone was one of the less impressive titles shown but it was new and needed a person pitching it.
The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was okay; I wasn't sold on it. The Spider-man exclusive by Insomniac Games was a genuine surprise to me. Rumors were pegging Sucker Punch as the developer of the game so seeing Insomniac Games' logo was quite the swerve. They made Sunset Overdrive so I'm optimistic that they can pull off an open world title but it's been a LONG time since we've seen a decent Spider-man title.
Overall, this was the best conference of E3 2016. It was brisk with plenty of announcements and game demonstrations.

Oooh, that's a toughie...
Mick says "Just stay there and look cute--and make them pay a treat toll for stairs access." - August 26, 2011 at 11:00 PM
- The Fab Furs said...
Bertie and Mercedes agree with Mick. They also suggest that the other bunns could exact different treat tolls. Zoey and Goldie: treat tolls for the privilege of viewing their loveliness, Racer: for viewing his nose, Winston: for staying out of mischief, the Princess: for being royalty, Savannah: a treat for each spot, Chico: treats for being on watchbun duty, Benji: for dealing with a diva on a daily basis. Then, of course, they should all exact a treat toll for living with humans and their foibles. And KB should get his own treats for soldiering on despite being surrounded by buns.

Lucky, try both! Go up first because if you eat too much, then going down is easier with a full tummy than going up! Good luck, Luckster!
RG, Racer's cuteness was messing with the lense. You have to get a special rabbit lense to capture rabbits in all their glory without them weirding out the pic. :) - August 27, 2011 at 7:13 AM

thats a real dilemma for a bunny, I'd probably agree with Mick though.

Better check them both out!
- August 28, 2011 at 7:35 AM
I agree with those that say to look in both places. And do it quick! Before somebun else gets the treats!

Britney Spears Accidentally Burned Down Her Home Gym With Two Candles… But It Wasn't Her First Candle-Related Mishap
Britney Spears revealed she burned her home gym to the ground in an unfortunate candle incident.
The "Oops... I Did It Again" hitmaker took to Instagram Wednesday (April 29) to share her fitness routine, but shocked fans when she casually admitted she hasn't used her personal gym in six months after accidentally setting it on fire.
"Hey, guys! I'm in my gym right now. I haven't been in here for, like, six months, because I burned my gym down, unfortunately," Spears said. "I had two candles, and yeah, one thing led to another, and I burned it down."
The 38-year-old pop star gave more details about the fire in her post's caption.
"It was an accident," she wrote. "I burnt it down. I walked past the door to the gym and flames. BOOM !!!!!! By the Grace of God the alarm went off after that and yippy hoorah nobody got hurt. Unfortunately, now I have only two pieces of equipment left lol and a one-sided mirror gym!!!!! But it could be much worse so I'm grateful."
"Pssss I like working out better outside anyways," she added.
Check out Spears' post, below:
This isn't the first time the singer has had a candle-related accident. In 2002, Spears set fire to her New York apartment after leaving a candle burning in front of an air vent while out shopping with a friend. Luckily, no one was harmed, but the fire department had to come to put it out.
