Nut consumers were less likely to die from heart disease and cancer


Go Nuts: Eating Them Could Help You Live Longer

Nut consumers were less likely to die from heart disease and cancer

November 21, 2013 RSS Feed Print
A new study found eating a handful of nuts each day could help you live longer and lower your risk of heart disease.
A new study found eating a handful of nuts each day could help you live longer and lower your risk of heart disease.
Eating a handful of nuts each day could help you live a longer and healthier life, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine Wednesday.
Those who ate a handful of nuts each day, approximately the recommended 1.5-ounce serving, had a 20 percent lower chance of dying from any cause during a 30-year period, compared with those who did not eat nuts every day. Additionally, the researchers saw a 29 percent reduction in the number of deaths that resulted from heart disease - the leading cause of death in the United States - and an 11 percent reduction in the risk of dying from cancer.
"Somebody might read our study and say that's fine, but if we start encouraging nut consumption, that might lead to a greater chance of obesity, which is a major problem in the United States," said Charles Fuchs, director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and a senior author of the report. "But interesting, what we find is that regular nut consumers are actually lighter. There's less obesity in that group."
The reduction in mortality was similar in both peanuts and different types of "tree nuts," such as walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios and pine nuts. According to Food Allergy Research and Education, tree nut allergy is one of the most common food allergies for adults and children, and is usually lifelong.
The researchers - a group from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and theHarvard School of Public Health - analyzed the data of more than 119,000 men and women in the United States. About 76,000 women provided information about their diet and lifestyle habits between 1980 and 2010 and more than 42,000 men did so between 1986 and 2010.
All participants filled out a detailed food questionnaire every two to four years with data on their diet and lifestyle factors, including how often they consumed nuts.
In addition to having a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer, the researchers found nut consumers were more likely to exercise, take multivitamin supplements, consume more fruits and vegetables, and were less likely to smoke.
And contrary to popular belief, those who ate nuts more often were also leaner. Those who ate nuts seven or more times per week had an average body mass index score of 24.9, whereas those who never ate nuts had a body mass index score of 26.0.
"There's something unique about nuts. We're trying to understand why, what's the mechanism by which these things reduce the risk of dying from heart disease and cancer, as well as reducing the risk of diabetes," Fuchs said. "And we believe that there are substances within nuts that seem to affect energy or caloric pathways that alter metabolism in a positive way that allows you to contribute to weight loss."

U.S. Citizens Renouncing their Citizenship Skyrockets---The Tina Turner Effect - Not Really

Contributor




America is a great land and lures immigrants worldwide, yet record numbers of U.S. citizens and permanent residents are giving up their citizenship or residency. For all the immigrant arrivals there’s an increasing trickle the other direction too. And this year that trend is up by at least 33%  from the previous high in 2011.
The U.S. Treasury Department is obligated to publish the names each quarter. It is a kind of public outing that puts Americans on notice who relinquished their rights. For the 3rd quarter of 2013, 560 U.S. citizens renounced their citizenship or gave up long-term resident (green card) status.

Those seem like tiny numbers, yet the total thus far for 2013 is 2,369. See Number of Taxpayers Who Renounced U.S. Citizenship Skyrockets to All-Time Record High, quoting Andrew Mitchel. Under U.S. tax law, it is not relevant why someone expatriates. Whether the expatriation was motivated by tax avoidance or something else used to matter, but the law was changed in 2004.

Since then, the tax and other consequences do not depend on why one leaves. Yet after Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin departed permanently for Singapore with his Facebook IPO riches, there was an angry backlash. Mr. Saverin’s post-Facebook fly-away prompted such outrage that Senators Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey introduced a bill to double the exit tax to 30% for anyone leaving the U.S. for tax reasons.

So far, that bill remains unpassed. Meantime, are people following Tina Turner’s lead? No, and not Eduardo Saverin’s either. Most expatriations are probably motivated primarily by factors such as family and convenience. Many people like Ms. Turner have built a life somewhere else and may not plan to need a U.S. passport.

Complex or costly taxes can help sway a decision but are often only one factor. Although statistics are not available for why people say a final good-bye, many now find America’s global income tax compliance and disclosure laws inconvenient and nettlesome. Some go so far as to say that the U.S. tax and disclosure laws are downright oppressive.

No group is more severely impacted than U.S. persons living abroad. For those living and working in foreign countries, it is almost a given that they must report and pay tax where they live. But they must also continue to file taxes in the U.S. What’s more, U.S. reporting is based on their worldwide income, even though they are paying taxes in the country where they live.

Many can claim a foreign tax credit on their U.S. returns, but it generally does not eliminate all double taxes. These rules have long been in effect, but enforcement was historically less of a concern with expats. Today enforcement fears are palpable.

Moreover, the annual foreign bank account reports known as FBAR forms carry civil and criminal penalties all out of proportion to tax violations. The penalties for failure to file these forms, civil and criminal, are severe. Even civil penalties can quickly consume the balance of an account.

The coup de grace is FATCA, which is ramping up now worldwide. It requires an annual Form 8938 to be filed with income tax returns for foreign assets meeting a threshold. And foreign banks are sufficiently worried about keeping the IRS happy that many simply do not want American account holders. Americans abroad can be pariahs shunned by banks for daily banking activities.

Still, leaving America can have a special tax cost. To exit, you generally must prove 5 years of tax compliance in the U.S. Plus, if you have a net worth greater than $2 million or have average annual net income tax for the 5 previous years of $155,000 or more (that’s tax, not income), you pay an exit tax.
The theory of the exit tax is that is the last chance the U.S. has of taxing you. It is a capital gain tax as if you sold your property when you left. At least there’s an exemption of $668,000.

Citizens aren’t the only ones to suffer. Long-term residents giving up a Green Card can be required to pay the tax too. See High Cost To Go Green: Giving Up A Green Card. A decision to expatriate should never be taken lightly. Taxes or no, it can be a big step. And around the world, more people are talking about taking this giant leap.

When And What Would It Take For Pandora To Be Profitable + Earnings Expectations

Siddharth Dalal is a software engineer at The University of Virginia. He is very interested in personal finance and investing.

He blogs about finance at Personal Finance Simplified (http://www.parchayi.com/) and about other topics at http://www.s1dd.com

In my previous article, I detailed some metrics for Pandora (P) like their increasing subscriber base and increasing revenue. However, the primary comment that people had was that I was ignoring Pandora's continued losses. With this article, I will tackle that question. What will it take for Pandora to be profitable?

From my previous article, here is a chart of Pandora's revenue growth

In 2Q 14, Pandora had fewer listener hours than 1q but still managed more revenues. Let's look at Pandora's major expenses next.

As we can see Pandora paid more in licensing in 2Q 14 than it did in 1Q 14. It also seriously stepped up marketing expenses. If Pandora spent at the same levels per billion hours of music listened in 2Q 2014 for both content and marketing, the loss would have been transformed into a $5 million profit translating to about $0.03/share.

However at this stage with increased competition and the launch of Apple's (AAPL) iTunes Radio, Pandora's increased focus on marketing is important. And Pandora did grow revenue faster in the last quarter than its costs as evidenced from the following chart which shows a narrower loss per billion hours listened than the previous quarter in spite of higher expenses.

With the current rate of growth, we can estimate roughly when Pandora will reach profitability.

If Pandora continues down its current path, profitability can come in the next two quarters.

This also provides some insight on what to expect for quarterly results on Nov 21. Basically a much narrower loss. By this chart about 2c/share on revenues of $171 million.

As discussed above Pandora could have been profitable if they spent less on marketing. Pandora could become profitable if their licensing lawsuit helps. Pandora can become profitable by next year even if neither of those happen. So, in conclusion, I feel Pandora management is taking the right steps. Market domination first, profits will come.

==============================
By the Detroit Bear


When you're a natural bear like me, you take a look at the valuations of the high-flying tech cohort and you can't help but shudder.
Source: Yahoo! Finance
Source: Yahoo Finance.
Facebook (FB) even looks like a bargain at 42x earnings! Normally, such insane valuations cannot be justified, thus warranting a short position. However, I do not believe that logic applies to Pandora (P).
The Short Case Is Excellent
The short case for Pandora is obvious and logical. The company currently pays more for its content than its competitors like terrestrial radio, Sirius XM (SIRI), and Apple's(AAPL) iTunes Radio pay. With sky-high content costs, Pandora has been unable to generate net income for a full year, or -- my favorite metric -- free cash flow. Additionally, the company is facing an onslaught of new competition from web services like Spotify, SongZa, and iTunes Radio. In just a month and a half of competition from Apple's new streaming radio service, Pandora's monthly active users declined sequentially by 1.8 million 70.9 million users. That's a strong number, in my view, considering the amount of time it takes for any new service to ramp.
Total U.S. radio market share notched over 8%, an increase of 30 basis points, and total hours listened were 8% higher than September at 1.47 billion hours. Ultimately, October was a mixed bag, but Pandora should be concerned that competition will intensify going forward. Plus, Apple can afford to engage in any tactic necessary to steal market share from Pandora due to its endless mountain of cash and the overall small impact on Apple's financial performance.
But I'm Not Shorting Pandora
After iTunes Radio launched, my first instinct was to short Pandora -- and I did. The stock fell slightly, but ultimately, the trade was marginally profitable. The short continues to look incredibly attractive on the basis of valuation. I think Pandora is worth somewhere between $12 and $15, a decline of roughly 50% from its current price. However, lurking from beyond lies the destroyer of all shorts -- a potential acquirer with compelling reasons to acquire the company.
Microsoft (MSFT) looms as the most likely bidder, in my view. CEO Steve Ballmer has used the last years of his reign to establish the company inconsumer electronicsBallmer paid $8.5 billion to acquire Skype in 2011, and the company recently added Nokia's handset business into the fold. These two acquisitions, coupled with the upcoming release of Xbox One, make Pandora a perfect fit for Microsoft.
Since the days of the Zune, Microsoft has struggled to gain any presence in music. Each attempt has fallen flat on its face. The current iteration, Xbox Music, won't even be available for free streaming on the Xbox One. Pandora brings an established brand name with an enormous installed user base. It would be a wonderful compliment for Xbox One. Microsoft hopes the system will be an all-in-one living room entertainment device, and that hope moves closer to reality if Microsoft acquires Pandora and its established music service.
It could also make an interesting addition to the Windows phone product. If sales of the latest Lumia struggle, Microsoft could package a free subscription to Pandora or even make it a Windows exclusive (exclusivity isn't likely, in my view). Xbox Music might not draw customers in, but smartphone integration with Pandora would provide a compelling offering.
Pandora could also fetch a hefty price tag. For comparison, Microsoft purchased Skype for $8.5 billion in 2011 after it had generated a small loss in 2010 on revenue of $860 million. Though this is just a rough valuation, 10x Pandora's FY 2014 revenue would value the company at roughly $6.4 billion -- a 28% premium from its current share price. Yet, Pandora has a much more obvious path to monetization than Skype does, so Microsoft could justify paying 10x FY 2015's revenue estimate of $890 million -- roughly $9 billion. That figure represents roughly 80% upside from current levels.
The Detroit Bear would never pay that much for Pandora, but a departing Steve Ballmer certainly might. Plus, his $80 billion war chest would hardly notice the difference between $6.4 billion and $9 billion, assuming that's what it takes to get a deal done. Microsoft also might hold superior negotiating leverage that could help lower content costs. To top it off,newly appointed CEO Brian McAndrews previously oversaw aQuantive before selling the company to none other than Microsoft. I assume he would be comfortable dealing with Microsoft relative to other companies.
The Bottom Line
Unfortunately, finding shorts in a bull market can be an exercise in torture, and the fact that Pandora could be such a strong strategic investment for Microsoft makes Pandora look even more unattractive from the short side. Famed investor Ricky Sandler of Eminence Capitalloathes shorting individual stocks because he thinks the risk of acquisitions is too great. In the case of Pandora, I could not agree more.

Inventor Paul Moller dedicates life to creating a workable flying car




(CBS News) "Back to the Future"'s flying DeLorean never made it to your driveway, but one man has spent the better part of his life and fortune trying to turn science fiction into reality.
Paul Moller told CBS News' John Blackstone that he first started thinking about building a flying car when he was a child.
"I first got curious about flying when I rescued a hummingbird when I was 5 years old in Canada," said Moller. "As I let it go, it hovered for a second, then just disappeared, and I thought, boy, that's a great way to get to school."
He told Blackstone that he felt that if he could "imitate the hummingbird, my life would change."
Celebrated on television and film for decades, the flying car has remained an elusive dream for many, but Moller has dreamed longer than most.
Blackstone first talked to Moller 25 years ago. Back then, he showed the reporter a flying saucer-like model that he'd been working on since 1967. He told Blackstone that he doesn't get discouraged in his quest to make a flying car.
"I think we have enough periodic successes that we keep going," he said.
All these years later, Moller's "Skycar" has flown but at the end of a tether for safety, and he's now waiting for the Federal Aviation Administration to categorize the unique aircraft before he can test it with a pilot.
The venture hasn't been cheap, and development has set Moller back millions of dollars.
"Well, if you take everything we've spent - and this is kind of an average of about two-and-a-half million dollars a year for 40 years - so that comes out around $100 million, but much of that money I've had to create by other businesses," he said.
Moller made millions selling mufflers, but he has spent most of it trying to become the Henry Ford of flying cars.
"At some point in time, certainly within the next 10 years, you'll be able to buy this vehicle for the price of a good automobile," he said.
Moller estimated the price would be less than $70,000.
"We think we can build the engines for about $30 per horsepower," he said. "We have roughly 1,000 horsepower, so we have $30,000 in the engines. The vehicle itself costs about the same amount as the engine, so $60,000."
What's more, Moller says his fully automated Skycar will do the driving for you, and without distractions like traffic, stop signs and pedestrians, it will be a safer way to travel.
"You're going to be delivered," he said. "You can sleep. You can read. You can play computer games. You can work on the way."
Moller told Blackstone that it is surprising how many people have had a similar dream to his.
"I'm not the only guy that wanted to imitate the hummingbird," he said. "There's a very large part of the population, aside from the idea of getting out of the damned traffic jams out there. That mobility, that's more than just getting out of traffic. That's getting to a different life."
While his dream has been in the works for years, Moller isn't ready to give up.
"It has been elusive because it's got the fairly large amount of money attached to it to make it happen," he said. "But we've had clever people. We've had patience, and we've had the time to make it happen."
