Oracle Corp. on Wednesday announced that it had completed its acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Combination of the local entities worldwide will proceed in accordance with local laws.
The combination of Sun and Oracle is likely to completely transform the whole IT industry. With the addition of servers, storage, SPARC processors, the Solaris operating system, Java, and the MySQL database to Oracle's portfolio of database, middleware, and business applications, the company plans to engineer and deliver open and integrated systems – from applications to disk –where all the pieces fit and work together out of the box.
According to Oracle, each layer of the stack will be architected to improve performance, leverage innovation and centralize management so that IT will be more predictable, more supportable, and more secure. Oracle promises that customers will benefit as their system performance, reliability and security goes up and their system integration and management costs go down.
Oracle acquired Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash. Approximately 62% of the shares of Sun common stock outstanding as of the record date for the meeting voted to adopt the agreement. The transaction's proceedings are about $7.4 billion.

We are a homeschool family who is fortunate to live in a state where we don't have many requirements and so I love that we can learn about things in an organic real life way. Sometimes, though, the list-checker side of me wonders where the "gaps" are. Not so much because I think I can fill in all. the. gaps. , but because I know that we don't do EVERYTHING every year. When we received these Academic Vocabulary cards for grades 1-3, I was apprehensive. I thought it might be something about preparing for standardized testing or something but it's not. It's more of a super quick once over of material that a child should have learned during 1-3 grades. There are 50 double-sided cards with 4 questions each in the subjects of language arts, math, science and social studies. The topics are widely varied and cover everything from punctuation and literature to place value and fractions, from physical science to life science, and goverment, geography & family. These use the simple Hot Dots pen for self correction, though if you do not have the pen, there is an answer key card. We like to learn through good books and it's good to know if there are any areas where we haven't spent much time. As a homeschooler, I would use it as an assessment tool at the end of second grade to see what they know and what I need to find a good book (or two) about for next year. You could also use it at the end of third grade and fill in the "holes" in a light worksheet-based summer school.As always, the cards are super high quality and work well with the hot dots pen (not included). The box contains all the cards (complete with dividers by subject) and leaves room for a hot dots pen, making it great for learning on the go. We really love the Hot Dots learning materials and this set was no different. I highly recommend it for any education minded parent, no matter how they are educated.Disclaimer: We received this item in exchange for an honest review.

I like the actual card content but the "self learning / self rewarding "pen" is absolute Garbage! It plays rewarding music each time you press down on the pen. It does not matter which "Hot Dot" you're clicking on. This equipment has NO TECHNOLOGY whatsoever in it. It's completely mis-marketed.

Great for a review center
By Lindsey

About Me Education Oriented
I use this set in my 3rd grade class. The questions are good for review for my students in an independent center. They may be more difficult content for 1st graders, probably just right for 2nd grade. I have the set of 6 pens sold separately to make it into a center rotation. I will need to purchase more boxed sets of cards to make it last longer as once they memorize the question, it's too easy :)

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
We received this product to review. We have used several of the Hot Dots Jr products and really loved them. This one is great too! My six year old daughter probably does not love it as much as I do- but she has enjoyed it. I love that it helps them learn in a fun way. She does not play with it often- probably because it feels more like school- but I anticipate taking it on trips where I think she will really enjoy it.

Great for self guided learning
By BeckyatGUNT
from Fairmount, GA
This set has been a great addition to our homeschooling resources. My five year old only recently began to read so she can't do the cards completely on her own yet, but she has lots of fun with them. She is currently working at an upper Kindergarten/lower first grade level. She loves the noises that the pen makes and she enjoys working her way through the cards. I like that the pen has a muted but lighted mode, too, for more quiet times. I also really like that the pen instantly lets her know if her answer is correct or incorrect. We are very pleased with this set and definitely recommend it.We did receive a free set in exchange for our honest opinion about it.

By Trish
from Conyers, GA
I just received the hot dots pen and a couple sets of hot dots cards and I was skeptical if the pen would actually work but it does!! I tested it out on multiple cards and it responded to the answer choices as it should have. I am super excited for my first grade ESOL students to use it! I want to get the learning to problem solve cards for math because it actually works on solving math word problems and not just facts. I think this is a great tool for students who do not have someone to correct them while PRACTICING (not during learning time). One issue I have is that the pen does not do anything when I push the music note button. Can anyone help?
Merchant response: Thanks, Trish and you're right - Hot Dots are a great way to provide students with feedback during independent study time. To answer your question, pressing the musical note cycles the pen through silly sound effects, fun phrases, or muted audio.

The pen does not work at all. It always says the answer is wrong. I have bought three different ones, so don't just think it is your pen-it is ALL the pens. AND the Educational Insights won't acknowledge that it doesn't work and give your money back. DON'T buy it!

I have been thinking of my moldy Eddies brick cheese in the fridge and couldnt decide whether to throw it away, or try to cut the mold off. I hate to waste things, so I decided a little while ago to cut the mold off and wash it under running water. I had stored the Eddies brick cheese in the plastic wrap in came in and aluminum foil and usually my cheeses dont get moldy, but Eddies brick cheese did. After cutting the mold off the Eddies brick cheese and running it under running water and then drying it with clean paper towels it looks okay to me. It also weighs about the right amount to try on a Buddys clone pizza. I am going to pick up my one 4-square steel pan this afternoon and make a Buddys clone dough with no salt later today.I really dont think it matters if I use Eddies brick cheese now.Norma
Norma,If you cut away the moldy parts, the rest should be okay. Plus, you know, les Francais, zey pay les big bucks for ze moldy cheese... - so you might accidentally have discovered a new delicacy.
It was good you decided to call the Buddys Bloomfield location and the Point Plaza Buddys location for more information about how the slices that are sold. I can understand that information gave you pause to wonder what kind of slices dicepackage ordered and showed. I can see if dicepackage got 4 slices from the 8-square pizza that was cut into six pieces that would change the numbers that you have previously used for calculation purposes. I think you have a lot of work cut-out for you if decide to revisit his numbers to see whether is possible to determine what an 8-square cheese and pepperoni pizza weighs and then work backwards to see if it is possible to get individual ingredient weights. Good luck with figuring all of that out if you can. I can see that will be a tall order to accomplish.
I'm very interested in your results, Norma. I found that if I cold-fermented the dough in the pan that it would absorb the oil and then stick like glue to the bottom of the pan. Haven't tried it again, but my pans are thoroughly seasoned now so it might not be a problem. Would certainly make prepping the dough easier if it could be done this way.
Norma,Actually, it took me only a few minutes to conclude that dicepackage did not get slices from an 8-square cut into six pieces. Even after assuming a fairly high loss during baking, and knowing how much cheese is used on an 8-square, and estimating weights for the sauce and pepperoni, the number that I calculated for the amount of dough was far too small for an 8-square pizza. I think dicepackage got his slices from a 4-square pizza. While it is possible that servers in a Buddy's sit-down restaurant may cut slices in sizes as requested by diners, I think that the 6-slice case is pretty much limited to carryout-only locations. Peter
Norma,I thought that you might be interested in seeing this list of Wisconsin producers of brick cheese: http://www.savorwisconsin.com/AllListings/prodbusiness.asp?recordid=760&type=product. Foremost is on the list but Kraft's is not.Peter
Norma,You have become a real pro with this style. It doesn't matter whether you make the pizzas at home or at market. Very nice job.I couldn't clearly tell from the photos but did the crust sink below the sauce? Peter
Norma,I think your dough experiment without the salt but with fairly aggressive kneading and good gluten development was a good one because it shows that you can get a finished crust that can support sauce and toppings without sinking and without the need for the strengthening effects of salt. And if you can achieve this result using a basic home stand mixer, you should be able to achieve similar--and most likely even better--results using your Hobart mixer at market. As you know, we have become accustomed to thinking about and using short kneads and relying on biochemical gluten development to a considerable degree to do a good amount of the heavy lifting. The Buddy's dough may be one of those cases where a long, and fairly aggressive knead is the better way to go. In fact, with no salt and with a high hydration value, it may be obligatory. In retrospect, I think using more sauce than normal was a good idea. I would not have suggested that because it would have meant a new experiment with the amount of sauce you would normally use in case the crust sank from the weight of the sauce. You dodged a bullet this time . As for the other differences in the finished crust, you may have to repeat your experiment at market with your deck oven to see if the omission of the salt was responsible for those differences. It seems to me from your earlier discussion that you kneaded your dough long enough. However, I think the truer and more important test is with your Hobart mixer at market, where you are selling your pizzas. A final benefit from your latest test is that it keeps the no-salt theory in play. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should forgo salt in your doughs. Peter
MFP...Mighty Fine Pizza! Dang Norma, I jus don't see how it can possibly get any better than this...

I recently returned from a ten-day visit to Brazil where I traveled to six cities throughout the country to meet with local government officials, business leaders, and civil society to promote subnational engagement with this vibrant democracy.
As the Special Representative for Global Intergovermental Affairs, I lead the Department's efforts to collaborate with state and local leaders and their counterparts abroad to meet U.S. foreign policy goals. My trip to Brazil provided an excellent opportunity to support collaboration between local officials in Brazil and the United States in preparation for Brazil's hosting a series of major international sporting events, including the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
In 2011, the United States and Brazil signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) designed to foster enhanced cooperation and exchange of best practices in advance of these events. Both countries agreed to collaborate and share best practices in the areas of strategic planning, infrastructure, and commercial enterprise, while striving to eliminate racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination and promote equality of opportunity for all. I have been charged with leading the U.S. interagency team supporting implementation of the MOU, and I chair a multi-stakeholder working group in collaboration with our Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, under the U.S.-Brazil Joint Action Plan to Promote Racial and Ethnic Equality, to open up opportunities for historically marginalized groups during these mega events and in the years ahead.
I began my trip in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, where I conferred with U.S. Ambassador Thomas Shannon. I am grateful for Embassy Brasilia's strong support for my mission to reinforce our constructive partnership with subnational leaders in South America's largest country. In Brasilia, I also met with federal representatives at the Ministries of Sport, Racial Inclusion, Higher Education, and External Affairs, as well as the Governor of the Federal District and representatives of the Inter-American Development Bank to discuss the upcoming sporting events.
From Brasilia, I traveled to northeastern Brazil to visit the cities of Recife, Natal, Fortaleza, and Salvador. In each of these cities, I engaged with mayors, governors, the Secretaries of Education, Labor, and World Cup, and civil society. In addition, I met in Pernambuco with representatives of Arena Pernambuco, a private-public partnership leading the construction of the World Cup stadium, and I toured the World Cup facilities in Fortaleza.
I concluded my trip with a stop in Sao Paulo to meet with representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and U.S. businesses engaged in Brazil.
Overall, the trip was a valuable experience which provided the opportunity to engage with local Brazilian officials to discuss joint efforts to foster economic prosperity through education and increased trade and investment, and support for social inclusion. I look forward to returning to Brazil this spring to further these discussions in the additional six World Cup cities.
During his March 2011 visit to Brazil, President Obama described Brazil as a shining example of the power of democracy to expand opportunity. Our two countries share a rich history of democratic values and mutual cooperation. Today, we are working together to promote open and accountable governance, sustainable development and the expansion of social inclusion. Our mutual efforts on the upcoming major international sporting events are but one example of U.S.-Brazilian cooperation extending well beyond the work of the federal governments to local entities.

A nice introduction to Aloe Vera
Posted by Reviewer1548715 on Feb 01, 2011
I've used George's Aloe Vera juice on and off for years. This time I bought it to use for a more serious perpose: an enlarged spleen due to an excess of white blood cells collecting there resulting from a condition called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). After a few weeks, my nausea subsided and the spleen seems to be slowly decreasing. The purpose of the aloe is to flush the spleen and soothe it. I then ordered organic desert essence aloe from iHerb because it is closer to elemental aloe (more viscous and a stronger taste that I mitigate with black cherry juice mixed in). Aloe vera juice has lots of other beneficial uses, just go on line and see. Kind regards, Ernest
My staple aloe! My skin and my gut loves it.
Posted by stephd on Apr 04, 2012
I always keep a jug of George's on hand. I love this stuff -- best aloe I've ever tried for topical or internal use! I take it internally upon occasion when I'm having digestive problems but I use it daily in a spray bottle for my sensitive skin. Actually, I have an old George's spray bottle and an old rosewater bottle filled with aloe so I can keep one by my bed upstairs and one in the fridge downstairs. :) I also apply it to my face with a cotton pad as a toner after washing my face. I'm fairly active person, and the sun and wind isn't always kind to me here in California, but George's always soothes my skin and eases any discomfort. It soaks in immediately and doesn't leave a weird residue.

This is absolutely the best aloe vera juice in my books. The taste is excellent - it does not have to be refrigerated. It is really good for soothing my tummy when it feels uneasy due to probably eating food that I am sensitive to. It is also excellent for healing the entire digestive tract and useful after a bout of intestinal flu.

Great. Virtually free of any flavor, like drinking water. Helps keep your bowels regular and a host of other good things for the body!
Almost tasteless, excellent effects
Posted by Reviewer1889787 on Nov 24, 2008
This is fractionally distilled to exclude the bitter components so is almost flavorless. Helps with acid indigestion as well as soothing the digestive tract. Also, it can be used in a spray bottle to soften skin and help against wrinkles. I dislike other aloe juices that have citric or other types of acid preservatives or other irritants in them and this is the only one I have found that does not contain them.

Excellent product. Have been using it for years. I use it to help heal the lining of my stomach when my acid reflux gets out of control
A GREAT topical moisturizer.., NOT a laxative.
Posted by Reviewer1664875 on Nov 06, 2010
It's great slapped on freshly cleansed skin! It revives and heals dry skin better than all other potions I've ever used. I make sure now to always use it on my face before I put face lotion on, and it's made a dramatic difference in my skin. It's great on any part of the body. It seems like it's just water BUT ... it's far superior to water on the skin, it super hydrates without any greasyness at all. However, I drank two ounces first thing in the morning AND last thing in the evening daily... but it did NOTHING to relieve chronic constipation. I used over two gallons of this before I gave up.
good taste

WebMemo #3412 on Asia and the Pacific
November 10, 2011
November 10, 2011 | WebMemo on Asia and the Pacific
On November 11–19, President Barack Obama will embark on a critically important trip through the Pacific, beginning at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Hawaii through Australia and ending at the East Asian and U.S.–ASEAN Leaders Summit in Indonesia. He deserves credit for a symbolically powerful agenda that is crafted to demonstrate America's commitment to the Asia-Pacific.
But going through his well-prepared diplomatic paces is not going to be enough to assure the region of America's staying power. Commitment is measured in the substance of presidential visits and in the follow-up.
APEC, TPP, and Economic Statecraft
Accounting for half of global gross domestic product, half the world's trade flows, and 40 percent of its population, APEC is an important multilateral institution for promoting and facilitating trade liberalization. At the APEC Leaders Summit in Honolulu, President Obama has a unique opportunity to build upon the recently passed South Korea, Colombia, and Panama free trade agreements; promote U.S. exports; and drive U.S. trade policy forward. The U.S., as the host nation, has set the agenda to focus on strengthening regional economic integration, expanding trade, promoting green growth, and expanding regulatory cooperation.[1]
The most important item at this year's APEC, however, will be addressed on its margins: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The nine-nation TPP seeks to liberalize trade and investment among parties, drive reform efforts among APEC economies not yet part of the negotiations, and ultimately serve as the basis for an APEC-wide free trade area of the Asia-Pacific. All eyes at APEC will be on two TPP-related developments: the unveiling of a broad outline of the agreement to serve as a marker for continued negotiations and Japan's widely anticipated decision on whether to join the talks.
Australia: Celebrating 60 Years of Alliance
Next, President Obama will travel to Canberra and Darwin, Australia, to strengthen bilateral relations and celebrate the 60th anniversary of the U.S.–Australia Alliance after having already planned—and canceled—two previous trips down under.
The alliance has never been more relevant, with a shifting security paradigm and the emergence of new challenges. September's Australia–U.S. Ministerial Meetings laid this trip's foundation with the most proactive joint statement in recent years. President Obama's visit, his address to Australia's Parliament, and his visit to Darwin—Australian geography most relevant to the current impasse in the South China Sea—will signal an intensification of alliance cooperation now long underway in earnest at lower levels.
President Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard are expected to announce an agreement on increased military cooperation, including enhanced American access to Australian military bases, pre-positioning of equipment, and more joint training and exercising. In the words of Australia's minister of defense, this will essentially mean "more (American) troops in, troops out, more planes in, planes out and more ships in, ships out."[2] Second, the trip provides the impetus for the Australian Parliament to ratify the Australia–U.S. Treaty on Defense Cooperation, an agreement concluded by the Bush and Howard governments to ease the provision of U.S. military equipment and services to Australia.
The alliance remains critical in maintaining regional stability, and President Obama's trip should continue the momentum toward cooperating on 21st-century threats.
East Asia Summit: A First for an American President
Comprising 18 Asian nations—including India, Russia, and the U.S.—the East Asia Summit (EAS), hosted by the ASEAN chair, promotes dialogue and cooperation primarily on security-related issues. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta remarked that he looks forward to the EAS "becoming the premier institution for discussing strategic and security issues."[3]
This is America's first year of full membership, and, while some may advise the U.S. to maintain a relatively low profile, President Obama should seize the momentum that new membership provides, push toward actionable results on security matters, and make common cause with other countries in the region (including Japan, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam) to balance growing Chinese influence.
Obama's agenda currently involves discussing maritime security, nuclear nonproliferation, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. As Asia's primary security guarantor, the U.S. should use these discussions to remind EAS participants that the U.S. will continue to play its historical role as protector of the sea lanes, maintain stability across the region, and increasingly seek to cooperate with partners on shared security interests.
Amid growing uncertainty regarding both traditional and nontraditional security threats, Asia clamors for a decisive leader and potential counterweight to China. President Obama, on his EAS debut, should demonstrate that the U.S. will remain that leader.
To maximize potential benefits from his swing through the Pacific, President Obama should
More Than Just Talk
Beyond the summit pageantry and speed diplomacy with other regional leaders, President Obama should seize the opportunity of his visit to demonstrate U.S. commitment to the Asia-Pacific and dispel the misperception that the U.S. is in decline and retreat from leadership. He should demonstrate to a skeptical Asia that U.S. diplomatic engagement is far more than just talk. He has an agenda perfectly suited to do that. Now it is up to him.

Has anyone else had this problem? Could a new extension VGA cable be bought?

Great manipulative toy!
By OTBeth
from Springdale, AR
About Me Occupational therapist, Parent
We own the Design and Drill Socket to Me set and find it to be a fun manipulative toy. I use this toy personally with my 3 year old son, and professionally as an occupational therapist working in pediatrics. The contents include a socket wrench, 4 activity boards and 30 multi-colored bolts. As a parent and OT, I love that the toy has no batteries (FINALLY!) and the box that it comes in can store all of the pieces. I love the clicking sound that the wrench makes as it is cranked. I love the bright color scheme and fun design of robot, car, rocket, etc. My son loves to play with functional items at home and he felt proud that he could use a tool just like Grandpa uses. It was neat to see them both play this together and for Grandpa to explain the tools and their function. From an occupational therapy standpoint, this toy offers excellent fine motor, dexterity, visual motor and grasping practice. It requires the use of a fine pincer grasp, wrist deviation, eye hand coordination, stabilization/manipulation of parts, etc. The only cons include: this is part of the "Design and Drill" series and an icon on the box shows a drill. It might be confusing and lead some to think that a drill is included in this toy (though the company does make a drilling toy as well). Also, there are 33 spaces/holes on the activity boards and only 30 total bolts. That left my detail-oriented son wondering why 3 spaces were left empty :) Not a big issue, but he would have liked to have filled every space. Thank you for providing a toy that can encourage my son's development and the development of the children I treat.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Disappointed that there is no drill
By Carrie
from Walden, NY
About Me Educator, Parent
I was very disappointed that the "Design and Drill" set did not come with a drill. It is very misleading to have a picture of a drill on the box. That being said, my 3 year old liked the different shapes and has had fun with it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Carrie, this is the Socket-To-Me set of the Design and Drill line, so it includes only a socket wrench. If you would like to have a drill instead, you can call us or email us at email@example.com or 800-995-4436 and order items number 4112 or 4115. We will also take back your Socket-To-Me set. It's our Playful Promise to you! If you are not satisfied with your product, you can return it. Thanks,Nicole DawleyEducational Insights

The design and drill socket to me is a product where you have to be really creative with your child, because it can become a bit boring. Great tool to incorporate math, counting, and learning colors. Overall, happy with product and I find it very useful for my child's educational needs.
It Bolts but doesn't build.
By PT Mom
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Parent
We received this in the mail to review the product. Was excited to try this toy out for my daughter to have some independent play. It is good for working on fine motor skills and my daughter has fun designing where to put the different colored bolts while using the socket wrench and can stay busy for up to 30 mins. Fun shapes and colors, however it is one-dimensional. I wish there was more to the toy in that they connected or made her think about how to build something. Another thing that would be nice is to have 2 socket wrenches come in the box so multiple kids can play at the same time. Also, I wished there were enough bolts to fill all the holes in the shapes.
Fantastic for building motor skills
By Heather
from Waldorf, MD
About Me Education Oriented, Homeschooler, Parent
One of the things I really like about this toy is that it's wonderful for little ones working on fine motor skills. This has kids pinching, and twisting, and lining up the bolts, and really working to get the pieces screwed into their spots. There are no batteries needed here- just some hard (and fun!) work. My youngest two are lefties, and definitely need that fine motor work, and both were able to get the hang of this toy fast.
Excellent 4 creative & spatial thinking!
By kamal
from Chicago
What a lovely break from duplo! My son loves to tinker and create and this couldn't have come at a better time this summer. The kit has endless projects to keep their little fingers busy and besides the rockets, robots or race cars - there is plenty to be made. Mine juts made a toad, that looked nothing like one, but cheers to their imagination. Excellent for creative skills, spatial thinking and motor skills. Comes with plenty of nuts, bolts and pieces to stay at it all summer!

Nestled in a verdant, irrigated valley backed by parched Andean desert, the city of Trujillo is a true oasis with a pleasant coastal climate. The heart of Trujillo comprises a wide main plaza with many elegant colonial mansions and Baroque churches radiating from the centre. It serves as the ideal base for exploring the sprawling ruined city of Chan Chan, an impressive complex of weathered mud walls, the Tschudi temple-citadel, the ceremonial pyramid of Huaca La Esmeralda and the fantastically restored Huaca Arco Iris temple. From what is known of the Chimu Empire, a civilisation that appeared in the region around 1100 AD, this ancient city would have been brightly painted with gold panelling in the temples.
Further south of Trujillo the Moche Valley is home to the largest adobe structure in the Americas. Situated in a barren desert landscape, the temples of Huacas del Moche are believed to have been the ceremonial centre for the Moche culture as early as 400 AD. Only thirty percent of the four-tiered Huaca del Sol's original construction remains today, giving you some idea of its sheer size whereas the smaller Huaca de la Luna consists of several striking friezes.
Although many travellers only visit Trujillo in order to explore the numerous archaeological sites in the nearby valleys, Trujillo is compact and friendly enough to get to know with a few worthy attractions of its own and a vibrant dining and drinking culture. The rhythms of Criolla music - a form of Peruvian music that combines African, Spanish and Andean influences originally created by slaves during the colonial period – can be heard drifting on the evening breeze as local bars and clubs come to life.
To get you started with planning your holiday to Trujillo, we have showcased below some popular itineraries requested by our clients which we hope will inspire your visit to South America

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (876 votes).
In short: The one that got me hooked. Where next...Date of review: April 11, 2008
In short: great raceIn full: great raceDate of review: March 20, 2008
In short: Great starting/ finish area, lovely medal,great support.In full: great first half, a bit tough round the lake in 2nd half,great organisation & wonderful atmosphere - will be on my calendar annually.Great parking, massage facilities at the end. Date of review: January 30, 2008
In short: Too many people...In full: ...For instance, Scooby Doo and Mr Blobby lining up for a sub70 minute? No, I don't think so. For the sheer amount of fun runners, this race would be good, if I positioned myself closer to the front, I would've probably had a much more enoyable race, as it was, I lined up for sub90 and paid the price for battling through the non-runners over the first 5km. The scenery is good, but nothing worth writing home about; you go round Wollaton Hall the wrong way to take it in.Date of review: January 29, 2008
In short: Excellent first half but second half not as goodIn full: I really enjoyed the first half of the marathon as there were loads of people around giving good support. The second half was a lot quieter with some dodgy surfaces to run on and the gusty wind for the last 5-6 miles didn't help either. Way too many people were not in the correct finish time at the start so had to pass loads of slower people. Love the medal. Being my first marathon I will probably be back next year to improve my time. I would recommend the half 100% and the full aint too bad either if there was no wind!Date of review: November 6, 2007
In short: Well organised and friendly Half - recommend.Date of review: November 5, 2007
In short: My first go at a half, great day with good supporters. See you next year! Date of review: October 15, 2007
In short: Really good for a hassle free, friendly marathon experience Date of review: October 3, 2007
In short: My first and very memorable Marathon. Everything I hoped it to be !Date of review: September 30, 2007
In short: A challenging run,but magnificent. Very good organistion Date of review: September 27, 2007

If you love nature, stop hydrofracking
To the editor:
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's appreciation for the natural beauty of this area should serve him well when considering the possible disastrous impact of hydrofracking in other New York state regions.
Saying that he will base his decision on science and facts is commendable. One hard fact is that we may never know the true impact until it is too late.
Also, economic and political expediency will do little to protect our most vital natural resource.
We, who live in this protected region, must not ignore this critical statewide issue.

The U.S. government will push its electronics suppliers to provide energy-efficient and easily recycled products under a new policy released Wednesday.
Sony will reorganize its operations and shuffle executives on April 1 in a series of moves that maintains Howard Stringer's leadership and positions two executives to potentially succeed him one day as chairman of the electronics giant.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Don't stop fighting Obamacare
Are you tired of the debate about Obamacare yet? That is what they are hoping for. They hope we all get tired of it like the rest of the issues in the past few years; Fast and Furious gun running, Benghazi, IRS, NSA, etc. The White House tours are still closed. Sequester was the reason. They spent $634 million on a piece of crap website but they can't afford to let school kids tour the White House. It isn't being discussed anymore so its on to the next thing.
They shut down the road going past Mt. Rushmore so people driving by couldn't see it. We went to Death Valley in the spring. It was a $20 entrance fee. You paid electronically, then you drove the public highway. There are people living there. I wonder if that was closed. Never before, in all of the 17 shutdowns, have they closed the free National Parks; the memorials in D.C. for example. On Oct. 1, all of the barricades showed up, and all of the nicely printed signs. Almost like it was planned way ahead of time.
There are still some who think that Obama is still a great man. I believe he has proven to be a vengeful, vindictive individual. It's his way or the highway. Have you tried signing up for Obamacare yet?

Hard work, investments and expansion defined much of what happened in 2013. For the first time in years, suppliers talked about rebuilding and preparing for the upturn which, they said, is finally here.
"2013 was the first strong recovery since the Great Recession," said Randy Merritt, president of Shaw. "The improving economy has reinforced the value of preparation and the importance of looking forward that has always been a part of Shaw's strategy. Throughout the recession, we asked ourselves, 'are we prepared for our customer's business to improve? Are we prepared to service increasing demand from all channels of our customer base? Is our product assortment right for what the expanding consumer and end user base will want? Are we prepared for growth in every segment of our business?'" Merritt said that at Shaw, the answer is yes.
At Mannington the integration of Amtico went "extremely well," said Kim Holm, president, residential business, Mannington. "The year as a whole was a building year — integrating Amtico, anticipating and keeping up with demand as the economy came back to life, and adjusting our businesses accordingly."
Tom Lape, Mohawk's president of residential flooring, said that 2013 was rewarding for the company because of the investments it made even in a down market. "These strategic investments have proven to reap rewards as we make gains coming out of the recovery. Additional capacity, improved quality and enhanced production efficiency are all positive outcomes of these investments and our retail partners have benefited as well to get better products at better values from Mohawk Industries."
Growth realized
"The economy finally showed some improvement and provided for a relatively strong year for Mannington," noted Holm. "Certainly the economy improvement was the highlight of 2013. We were anticipating continued gradual improvements in 2014 as well."
Merritt said Shaw is pleased with 2013 growth. "We anticipate that the economy is going to continue to slowly improve, driven by the housing recovery, a strong automotive market, strong markets in some other manufactured goods and slow but steady improvements in employment," he said.
Likewise, Tom Lape, Mohawk's president of residential flooring, said that the company is pleased with the progress that the floor covering industry is making as it rebounds. "2013 marks another year of growth for both the flooring industry and the carpet segment in particular. This is due in large part to all aspects of consumer demand showing varying levels of improvement," he said.
Kevin Biedermann, Armstrong Flooring Product senior vice president, noted, "We are looking forward to another up year. I don't think it will be spectacular but it will be positive which is good." He noted that the company will continue to focus on "managing expenses, continue to drive cost productivity through process improvement, and adjust its manufacturing footprint based on demand."
Challenges faced
At Shaw, one hurdle has been the shift in customer demand within the company's product mix. "For example, growth on resilient, hardwood and carpet tile is changing the structural needs of our distribution network," said Merritt. "As a result, we are investing $55 million to streamline our distribution network and add an additional 535,000 square foot expansion in Dalton. These changes will allow us to more effectively service customers, increase roll and pallet capacity and improve efficiency. We are working hard to insure our distribution and logistics teams are prepared to service increasing demand in both carpet and hard surface in the most efficient manner. And we are working to insure we are prepared to service the expanding product demands, not only in the United States but also globally. All this has required focus, preparation and additional investments."
Workforce — finding, training and retaining the right people — too has been an industry-wide issue. Merritt added, "We are working hard to better train not only our current associates, but our future workforce via a joint effort with the Governor's Office on Workforce Development, the Northwest Regional Commission, Georgia Northwestern Technical College and other manufacturers to create the Fast track Innovation Program — a unique 10-week training program to help meet the manufacturing industries' employment needs."
The two areas that continue to plague the industry from a consumer perspective and potentially a construction perspective, according to Mohawk's Lape, "are, one, job and income growth and, two, Washington. The uncertainty of government shutdowns certainly are not helpful for discretionary consumer spend or the markets. The continuation of income rates, although sluggish to date, we believe can only improve from this point forward," he explained.
For manufactures of hardwood, shortages and rising raw material pricing still threaten the rebound of that market. "The low for us was the availability and cost challenges of logs for our hardwood business. This issue started in late 2012 and continues to challenge us as we go into 2014," said Mannington's Holm.
Biedermann said, "For all manufacturers, the cost of raw materials continues to rise at an extraordinary rate. Despite the challenge, Armstrong is positioned to leverage our scale to ensure a profitable cost/value proposition for retailers and consumers."
Investments meet new demand
With an eye on growth, Shaw made a number of key investments this year. It opened its 210,000 square foot carpet tile facility in Nantong, China which addresses growing demand in the Asian market. "With two-thirds of the world's carpet tile sold outside of North America — the majority in Asia — our new plant expands our opportunity to participate in this growing market," explained Merritt.
The company also expanded its existing Cartersville carpet tile facility to its maximum and announced plans for a new $85 million carpet tile facility in Adairsville, Ga. Shaw is investing $55 million to streamline its distribution network and add an additional 535,000 square foot expansion in Dalton, he said.
Other investments include $45,000 million to expand capacity within Shaw's existing extrusion facility in Dalton and purchased an adjoining piece of land for future expansion. Another $40 million investment will help Shaw meet the growing demand for Epic engineered hardwood product by expanding the South Pittsburg, Tenn. facility.
At Armstrong, despite the economy over the past several years, the company will not cut investments being made in what makes it successful, which includes "fulfilling our brand promise, new products, quality and programs that drive profitable sales for our customers," said Biedermann.
He also noted that Armstrong continued to "take the high road in product design, launching upscale American-made genuine scraped woods as well as commodity-busting laminates and LVT in a multitude of interchangeable and customizable sizes." In 2013, Armstrong rolled out 20 new SKUs of laminate and "redefined what constitutes high-end design within the category," he added.
Both Mohawk and Mannington made substantial investments in their manufacturing this year as well. (See December 9 issue of FCW for more details about all major industry investments.)

There's reason to fear that climate policy will die at the hands of special interests.emissions. But others have more subtle agendas — they seek to blunt the costs, or tailor any new climate policy to their narrow agendas. Some just want a slice of that revenue stream. Others hope to shape the rules of the bazaar in the market-based system that the politicians, including Obama, favor for grappling with global warming.
Renewable energy companies and environmental groups are outnumbered 8 to 1 by other interests.has been critical of the Obama approach, which is expected to require polluters to pay for the program through a government auction of all carbon dioxide emissions permits. Proponents of auctioning 100 percent of CO2 permits seek to avoid the pitfalls of the European system, which initially gave away many permits to power producers at no cost, resulting in windfalls for those companies. The U.S. auction would provide revenue for the federal government to fund programs to offset the increased energy costs to families, as well as to invest in development of clean energy.
The number of parties interested in influencing climate legislation seems to grow by the day.from manure are costly, but what if farmers could earn "credits" that they could later sell to coal-fired power companies that have trouble reducing their carbon dioxide emissions? Would these so-called "offsets" be enough to offset the agriculture interests' worries over rising fuel costs? Last year, the American Farm Bureau Federation was originally neutral on the Warner-Lieberman bill, then opposed it when offset opportunities were reduced in later amendments.
