Wouldn't it be amazing if you could look back at a list of books your child (or you) read? Not just over the summer, but for the whole year? How about if you could see the titles of all (or most) the books they read while they were growing up?
Today we watched Crazy Lab with Nancy who has her own show on MTV Lebanon. She came to our school today and all of the students were super excited. They had the best time watching making magic with science that they all want to become scientists when they grow up

Cuban Yoga teacher in Toronto
For the first time ever, during the month of October 2013, Toronto welcomes the visit of Eduardo Pimentel, yoga instructor and President of the Cuban Yoga Association, who will be sharing his unique practice and vast experience with the Toronto yoga community during a series of workshops and classes at various studios across the GTA.
Eduardo Pimentel is the lead instructor for MHAI YOGA, a Toronto-based movement that dedicates itself to organizing yoga retreats in Cuba and aims at bringing together a rewarding yoga journey, Cuban culture and organic cuisine. He is also the man solely responsible for the growth and spread of yoga in Cuba. His passion for the practice developed out of an early interest in the physical and mental benefits of yoga and he began teaching himself various yoga postures out of a book. By 1982 Eduardo had begun teaching yoga anywhere and everywhere across Havana and the rest of the island. Slowly but surely the practice became recognized as a positive method of health maintenance throughout Cuba. Eduardo opened up his very own studio in Havana, Vidya Yoga where he teaches classes but also utilizes yoga as a method of alleviating health problems such as osteo-muscular pains, asthma, stress, insomnia and many more.
As president and founder of the non-governmental Cuban Yoga Association (CYA), Eduardo has trained more than 12,000 yoga practitioners and has worked and practiced with some of the world's greatest yogis such as Krishna Kaur and Deepak Chopra during their Cuba visits. The association organizes numerous therapeutic workshops as well as meditation retreats and reaches out to the entire Cuban community in an effort to promote yoga and its immense benefits to health, harmony and life balance.
During his stay in Toronto Eduardo Pimentel will be participating in the following classes and workshops, with the support of the following studios and venues:

Ayotte's dinner: Talking with Obama is wrong?
Among the dozen Republican senators who joined the President for dinner and conversation at Washington's Jefferson Hotel Wednesday night was New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte. Friendly with Sen. John McCain, Ayotte drew criticism from some libertarian and conservative activists for joining the President (and McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., two famously moderate Republicans). Somehow, Ayotte would have accomplished more had she snubbed the President and joined Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster of CIA director nominee John Brennan, the outraged activists suggested. Nonsense.
Just days before, Ayotte was on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanoplous" saying that she was open to a grand bargain on debt reduction. She would consider revenue increases, she said, but only if they included tax rate reductions, came with serious entitlement reforms, and the new revenue was dedicated exclusively to reducing the federal debt.
To suggest that there is no value in conveying that message to the President in person, in a casual setting in which a working relationship might develop, is to misunderstand the way politics works.
Last August, Sen. Tom Coburn (who attended last Wednesday's dinner) came to the defense of the Tea Party during an interview on MSNBC. Among his points was that Tea Party activists "understand that you've got to have human relations to get along in this world." It is amazing and disappointing that so many activists on both sides think that progress is made by refusing to work with anyone in the other camp.

The Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas runs from the US-Mexico border north of Laredo in a narrow band extending northeast for several hundred miles to just north of Houston. It is located directly below the Austin Chalk. The average thickness of the Eagle Ford shale is about 475 feet. The more active part of the region is mainly in McMullen, Maverick, Dimmit, La Salle, Karnes, Live Oak, and Atascosa counties.

Here's a compilation of Nathan Deal quotes: Ghetto grandmothers: Speaking before the Cherokee County GOP, then congressman and candidate for governor Nathan Deal was fear-mongering about the need for a birth certificate before getting benefits, "We got all the complaints of the ghetto grandmothers who didn't have birth certificates and all that".
His wife can tell by looking at her students which ones are going to prison and which ones are going to college, "My wife tells me she could look at her sixth grade class and tell ya' which ones are going to prison and which ones are going to college."
What kind of person would make such comments? Based on those comments alone Nathan Deal deserves a one way ticket back to where they dug him up from. I am a middle class African American tax payer and his comments show lack of integrity and representation for anyone living in my household, including my 15 year old son who happens to attend one of those public schools housing the children his wife threw under the bus. Oh and the ghetto grandmother, that would be my mother who worked her butt off to raise me, instill values and who fought to make sure that people like Nathan Deal never gets the chance to harm her grandson, my son, again. Nathan Deal does not and can't represent me because he just don't get it.

The state\'s tax commissioner, Kevin B. Sullivan, announced recently that the state\'s move to allow the Sunday sales of alcohol has been a success, citing increased tax revenue coming into the state coffers.
Sunday sales has been highly controversial as the state\'s package stores association has questioned it for years, predicting that the stores would simply sell the same amount of liquor in seven days as they had previously in six days before the law changed.
Now, Carroll Hughes, the longtime chief lobbyist for the package stores, says Sullivan is jumping the gun on declaring success. Hughes noted that the state does not have even a full year\'s worth of statistics to make any judgments, saying that the jury is still out on Sunday sales.
\"It\'s definitely premature,\'\' Hughes said in an interview. \"He can\'t judge it being a success.\'\'
Hughes argues that it\'s not simply the sales levels that should be analyzed. His members, he said, have endured more overhead that includes heat and electricity on Sundays, as well as sometimes paying overtime rates for employees on a day when the shop had previously been closed. In addition, Hughes argues that much of the increased beer sales have switched to the supermarkets, which have long been open on Sundays.
\"You can\'t claim the success of Sunday sales when you\'re down or even,\'\' Hughes said. \"My people told me they either broke even or were down a half a percent.\'\'
But Sullivan will have none of it.
\"The numbers are the numbers,\'\' Sullivan said in an interview at the state Capitol. \"I\'m absolutely confident there has been an increase in sales.\'\'
Sullivan added that he never said that all of the package stores would see increased sales or see their profits increase. Instead, he noted that non-beer sales statewide are up, adding that those sales must be at package stores because supermarkets are prohibited from selling wine and liquor.
\"I think we do have the data,\'\' Sullivan told Capitol Watch.\'\'This ship has sailed. Last call on that argument. Time to move on.\'\'

The Utah Jazz have waived forward Mike Harris, trimming the team's roster to 14 players.
Harris, 30, played 20 games for the Jazz this season, averaging 4.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11 minutes.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Harris, a veteran journeyman out of Rice, was signed by the team in late September. The decision to waive him came Tuesday, ahead of the deadline to cut players before all contracts became guaranteed.
"It's a business, but to see my teammates leaving like this is tough," Jazz center Enes Kanter said. "I'm just going to pray for him."
Kanter added, "I think he brought a lot of energy. To me, he was helping me when I came on the bench. He was always telling me things because he was watching on the bench. I think he was really good for our team, but it's a business."
Harris' best game of the year came on opening night, when he scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Recent News and Happenings at Meridian Little Theatre:
MLT Receives Operating Grant from Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC)
The Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) has granted $1.34 million in funding to artists and arts programs across the state for fiscal year 2015.
These funds were awarded in 46 Mississippi counties, ranging from operating support for museums and community arts centers to small grants that assist schools with bringing in guest artists. The grants will be awarded to 139 different organizations and schools and 42 to individual artists.
Among the recipients was the Meridian Little Theatre, which was awarded an $18,375 grant. The money will be used to supplement the operating costs of MLT. The grants are made possible by continued funding from the Mississippi State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
"The creative economy has never been more vibrant than it is today in the communities across Mississippi," said Dr. Tom Pearson, executive director at MAC. "This agency is honored to play a small role in assisting these organizations to continue their work of reinforcing the value of the arts and the role they play in creative place-making and economic development."
The Meridian Little Theatre is one of the largest nonprofit community theaters in the state. Their mission is to create and provide a diverse community theater that enriches, educates and entertains the people of east Mississippi and west Alabama. Four main stage plays, a children's production, and a dinner theatre are presented each season.
In addition, MLT offers workshops and special events for the community and surrounding area.
The Meridian Little Theatre announces auditions for the timeless musical, Irving Berlin's White Christmas on October 20 and 21 at 6:30 p.m. The play is based on the 1954 film classic about two World War II vets that have become partners in a song-and-dance act after the war. Looking for love, they follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters to a gig at a Vermont lodge, which happens to be owned by their former army commander General Waverly. Performances are December 11-17!
Roles include:
Plus, several additional smaller roles of various ages (including children 9-12) and a chorus that requires some singing and dancing
Those auditioning should be prepared to sing a 30 – 40 second song from the show or from a well- known show tune. A piano accompanist will be available. Bring your own sheet music if not from White Christmas.
There will be scene reading auditions from the script, plus dance auditions.
Production Team:
For more information, call MLT at 601-482-6371.
A million thanks to the MLT Guild for funds for new stage curtains, portable sound and lighting systems, updating our old house sound system, and a new laptop computer to improve ticket sales. The Guild has two variety sales each year and raises money for our theatre. Their dedication and hard work sets the bar high for all who are involved with MLT. Guild President Nancy Myers needs volunteers for our Spring Sale in April and would welcome your help. Please contact Nancy Myers at 601-679-7671 or at 601-462-9312 for details.

Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it. Constantin Stanislavski

EDMONTON - In June 2003, Meags Fitzgerald and a friend celebrated their last day of Grade 10 by going to a photobooth and posing for goofy, impromptu pictures.
It wasn't Fitzgerald's first time, but on that particular occasion, she writes, "something clicked. Suddenly, all I wanted to do was use photobooths, or go 'boothing,' as I called it." The abbreviation made it official: a serious hobby had been born.
Over the next decade the Edmontonian would frequent just about every photobooth she passed. At school, the budding artist and improviser became known as "the photobooth girl," carefully cataloguing a collection that was growing by leaps and bounds. She started experimenting with the creative possibilities of the medium, and also got interested in the booths themselves. Where did they come from? How did they work? And, with the rise of digital photography, did they have a future?
Those questions are answered, and then some, in Fitzgerald's first book, a fascinating graphic novel called Photobooth: A Biography (Conundrum) that's equal parts history and memoir. Fitzgerald tries to understand how the role of photobooths has changed over the decades — in the early 20th century, they were proof of the democratization of technology; later, a practical government tool for mug shots and passport photos — as well as what it is about these old-fashioned curios that continues to hold her attention today.
"Photobooths, unlike any other form of photography, do an amazing job at actually spontaneously capturing the truth in a moment," Fitzgerald, who is currently based in Montreal, told me over the phone. "Photobooths don't let you lie to yourself. If you're having a bad day, you're going to have a bad photo.
"And there's no negative. It goes directly to the paper. So every picture you'll ever take in a photobooth is entirely unique, and it's entirely yours."
From an artistic point of view, meanwhile, she's drawn to the strictness of the photobooth's mechanical process: "It's a literal box you have to think outside of."
In addition to the richness and vibrancy of the illustrations themselves, Fitzgerald's book does what any good object biography should, by charting the larger impact photobooths have made around the world. She gives us the biography of the man who invented them, Siberia-born Anatol Josepho. She shows how the booths became rare private spaces for marginalized groups like gay couples. She gets into detail about the different makes, models and developing processes. Finally, she becomes part of the modern movement to revitalize and appreciate the booths as artistic instruments.
Because of the depth of her research, and how much of her own life story is represented on the page, Fitzgerald worked at a rapid pace, right down to the wire — sending in new pages the day before the book went to the printer — to get things exactly right.
"My publisher was happy to delay it six months, or whatever," Fitzgerald says. "He didn't care. But I wanted the book to come out at least a full year before photobooths in Canada disappear."
And there's the rub. As Fitzgerald makes clear in the book, the old-fashioned chemical photobooth is an endangered species, either being covertly replaced by digital look-alikes or else junked entirely. In fact, they're already living on borrowed time: only one company on the planet still produces paper for the black-and-white machines, while the paper for colour photos stopped being made seven years ago. Current stocks are expected to run out for good by summer 2015.
By putting her book out into the world now, Fitzgerald hopes that readers might be inspired to rally and try to save the technology, or at least to pay their local booth one final visit.
"Giving people a heads up that this is happening is the least I could do for photobooths," she says, "so they aren't disappearing, slowly, in the night. There are a few Canadian cities that don't have any. And it's not like they put a closing sign on the photobooth. It's just taken away one day."
Edmonton is not one of those cities — yet. The enthusiast site photobooth.org lists 10 such booths in service, and one of them, which sits in City Centre mall, next to the movie theatre, is featured on the very first page of Photobooth: A Biography.
The other day I went back to see if it was still there. Sure enough, it was. I stood and looked at it for a minute, comparing the worn-down reality against Fitzgerald's illustration and wondering how long it will be until this booth, too, is quietly taken away and dismantled. (It uses colour paper, which means it's got a year at best.) Then I ducked inside, pulled the curtain shut, plonked down my four dollars, and waited for the camera to flash.
Meags Fitzgerald launches Photobooth: A Biography at Happy Harbor Comics, 10729 104th Ave., on Wednesday, July 30 at 6:30 p.m.

Oracle Corporation, Taleo Corp. - M&A Call (Transcript)Apr. 26, 2012
Oracle Corporation - Shareholder/Analyst CallOct. 12, 2011
Oracle Corporation - Shareholder/Analyst CallOct. 6, 2011
Wed, Oct. 22, 1:22 PM
- Enterprise software vendors are having a rough day after VMware (VMW -5.6%) provided light Q4 guidance to go with a Q3 beat.
- On its CC (transcript), VMware also reported its bookings fell Q/Q in Q3. They were hurt by Russian and German softness, and a failure to close a major enterprise license agreement (ELA) with a federal client. ELAs made up 29% of Q3 bookings, down from 37% in Q2.
- Rivals Oracle (ORCL -1.5%), Red Hat (RHT -3.3%), and Citrix (CTXS -1.5%) are among the decliners, as are Splunk (SPLK -4.7%), Tableau (DATA -2.8%), Qlik (QLIK -2.5%), and MicroStrategy (MSTR -0.9%). Oracle provided light guidance last month.
- Several enterprise cloud software stocks are also selling off: N -2.5%. VEEV -2.9%. ZEN -4.2%. CSOD -2.3%. SAAS -3.2%. NOW -1.7%.
- Nomura and Raymond James have downgraded VMware. Nomura thinks 2015 guidance (expected in January) will also be light, and believes slow vSphere server virtualization growth (affected by competition and high penetration rates) will remain a headwind, given it's still over half of VMware's business. "Growth has to come from the vCloud Suite ... other newer products are just too small still to matter."
- Some of those "other newer products" are doing well: VMware's end-user computing license bookings (boosted by the AirWatch acquisition) rose over 60% Y/Y in Q3, and its much-hyped NSX software-defined networking platform now has 250+ paying customers (up from just 100 a few months ago).
- A slew of enterprise tech names sold off on Monday in response to IBM's Q3 report. Big Blue's software sales fell 2% Y/Y in Q3, after rising 1% in Q2. CA, Citrix, and ServiceNow report after the bell.
Mon, Oct. 20, 9:19 AM
- IBM missed Q3 estimates, pulled its $20 2015 EPS forecast, and respectively reported 15% and 7% Y/Y drops in hardware revenue and services backlog.
- Big Blue also stated it "saw a marked slowdown in September in client buying behavior," and declared its numbers "also point to the unprecedented pace of change in our industry" (at least partially a reference to cloud services adoption).
- SAP missed Q3 revenue estimates (while posting in-line EPS), reported a 3% Y/Y drop in traditional software license revenue, and (citing the cloud transition) cut its full-year op. profit outlook.
- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) -0.8% premarket. H-P (NYSE:HPQ) -2% premarket. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) -1.8%. EMC -0.8%. There's a good chance other enterprise IT names will trade lower as well.
Wed, Oct. 1, 10:20 AM
- New Oracle (ORCL -0.3%) co-CEO Safra Catz: "We're No. 1 in database, we're No. 1 in middleware, but we're No. 2 in applications ... At Oracle, silver medal is first loser."
- Catz's remarks come two weeks after SAP (presumably the company deemed #1 in apps) agreed to pay $8.3B to buy leading cloud travel/expense management software vendor Concur Technologies. Plenty of cloud software stocks rallied in response, as investors bet the deal would trigger fresh M&A activity in an industry that has already seen plenty.
- They also come two weeks after Oracle reported light software license growth amid slumping database sales and intense cloud competition.
- Oracle has already bought a long list of enterprise software firms in recent years. Major cloud-related purchases include marketing automation software vendors Eloqua and Responsys, customer support software firm RightNow, talent management software firm Taleo, and sales quote software provider BigMachines.
- More recently, Oracle paid $5.3B to buy point-of-sale hardware/software firm Micros. Thanks to its M&A binge and huge buybacks, Oracle had $32.6B in debt as of Aug. 31 to go with $51.6B in cash/investments.
- Yesterday: Oracle launches flurry of new products
Tue, Sep. 30, 2:48 PM
- Oracle's (ORCL -0.2%) PR department has been in overdrive as the company's annual OpenWorld conference progresses. More than a dozen hardware, software, and cloud services offerings have been launched or refreshed.
- Hardware launches include: 1) The FS1, a hybrid flash/disk storage system featuring software that tries to optimize price/performance through "fine-grain autotiering" of storage types. It faces competition from EMC, NetApp, H-P, and many others. 2) A new Exalytics In-Memory Machine (competes against systems running SAP's Hana) that delivers large performance/memory improvements. 3) A database recovery appliance said to deliver "zero data loss protection" for live databases.
- Software launches include: 1) Updates to Oracle's cloud ERP, HR, and CRM apps. The HR apps (face competition from Workday and SAP) have been given design changes meant to appeal to casual users, and the CRM apps now integrate BlueKai's data management platform. 2) New features for Oracle's Fusion middleware meant to improve data integration for cloud services and mobile apps. 3) A new release for the open-source MySQL database (has been losing ground to MariaDB).
- Cloud services launches include: 1) 6 new services for Oracle's cloud app platform (playing catch-up against Microsoft and Salesforce). 2) A Business Intelligence Cloud Service that joins Oracle's Analytics Cloud portfolio. 3) Mobile app development services meant to allow non-technical users to build apps.
- Oracle is counting on the launches to put a halt to its recent top-line struggles, caused in large part by soft hardware and database sales.
Wed, Sep. 24, 2:33 PM
- John Chambers has dismissed speculation Cisco (CSCO +1.3%) could make a bid for EMC (EMC -1.1%). "If [EMC CEO Joe Tucci] and I were going to do something here, we would have done it a year or two ago."
- Likely an issue today: A Cisco deal would raise antitrust issues in the network virtualization/SDN software space, where VMware (VMW -0.3%) and Cisco have emerged as the early leaders. Also, Cisco's storage networking unit relies on OEM deals with EMC rivals (in addition to EMC).
- Meanwhile, re/code reports Oracle (ORCL +1.5%), another company whose name was thrown around in EMC deal speculation, is also uninterested.
- Recent reports stated EMC has held merger talks with H-P, but failed to agree (for now, anyway) on a price. Sources (possibly hoping to drum up M&A interest in EMC) added a deal with Cisco or Oracle was also possible. Re/code backs up the part about the H-P talks, while adding H-P was largely interested in owning VMware VMW via EMC.
- Many on the Street still think EMC will make a deal before Tucci's planned Feb. 2015 retirement. Tucci hasn't named a successor yet; Argus' Jim Kelleher consider ex-CFO David Goulden, now the head of EMC's storage hardware/software unit, to be the favorite. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger and Pivotal CEO Paul Maritz are also in the running.
Wed, Sep. 24, 2:03 AM
- Oracle's (NYSE:ORCL) new co-CEOs Safra Catz and Mark Hurd will receive a one-time option to purchase 500K shares of Oracle apiece, while outgoing chief exec Larry Ellison, will receive 750K fewer shares for the 2015 fiscal year.
- The new top execs also qualify for performance-based bonuses of 125K shares each, on top of the 562.5K shares of performance-based stock granted to them both in July.
- However, the company is slashing its long-term exec compensation program, lowering Catz and Hurd's total stock options to 2.75M a piece from 5M a year earlier.
Fri, Sep. 19, 4:54 PM
- Though Oracle's (ORCL -4%) cloud-related sales saw healthy growth in FQ1, its core database business saw negative license growth, notes Deutsche's Karl Keirstead, downgrading shares to Hold. "Coupled with Larry Ellison's decision to give up the CEO role, our confidence in the core database business is getting tested and we'd prefer to step to the sidelines while Oracle shares are still near their 10-year high."
- While Oracle blames the database weakness on tough comps and sales execution - the latter is a common excuse among enterprise software firms - Keirstead also sees other factors at work: A mature relational database market; Microsoft's share gains; and a secular shift to new data types (e.g. Hadoop/NoSQL) and cloud apps (often running on non-Oracle databases). He estimates Oracle's FQ2 guidance implies a 3%-4% Y/Y drop in license revenue.
- D.A. Davidson (Neutral) also isn't thrilled with Oracle's numbers. "ORCL's financial results have now either missed or come in at the low end of management's guidance range in 7 of the last 9 quarters." Ditto Sterne Agee: "Given the current moderate size of the cloud business, the transition will span several years and create both revenue and EPS estimate volatility."
- On the other hand, Sterne (like many others) isn't concerned about Oracle's CEO change, calling it "more of a change in titles than in functions." On the CC (transcript), new co-CEOs Safra Catz and Mark Hurd insisted there will be no major operational changes.
- Wedbush, however, sees negative long-term implications. "Mr. Ellison's desire to delegate more responsibility (and credit) to Safra Catz and Mark Hurd is understandable ... but it underlines our view that Oracle's days as an organic grower are rapidly coming to an end."
- Prior Oracle coverage
Thu, Sep. 18, 5:40 PM
- Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) guides on its FQ1 CC for FQ2 Y/Y revenue growth of 0%-4%, and EPS of $0.66-$0.70. That's below a consensus for 4.8% growth and EPS of $0.74.
- Software/cloud revenue is expected to grow 3%-6% Y/Y vs. 6% in FQ1, and hardware revenue is expected to be flat to down 10%. SaaS/PaaS revenue is expected to grow 39%-44%, and IaaS revenue 40%-44%.
- Oracle largely blames the near-term weakness on a transition to cloud subscriptions from up-front licenses, though it also admits execution issues are hurting hardware and services sales. Micros is expected to provide a slight boost to FQ2 results.
- Shares -2.3% AH.
- Prior Oracle coverage.
Thu, Sep. 18, 4:29 PM
- Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) has added $13B to its buyback plan; that's good for repurchasing 7% of shares at current levels. As it is, $2B was spent on buybacks in each of the last three quarters.
- Software and cloud revenue (76% of total revenue) rose 6% Y/Y in FQ1 to $6.6B, hitting the low end of guidance for 6%-8% growth. However, new software license revenue (pressured by cloud competition) fell 2% to $1.37B.
- License update/product support revenue (fairly stable) rose 7% to $4.7B. Cloud app (SaaS) and app platform (PaaS) revenue rose 32% to $337M, towards the high end of guidance for 25%-35% growth. Cloud infrastructure (IaaS) revenue grew 26% to $138M, topping guidance for 10%-20% growth.
- Hardware revenue (hurt by UNIX server declines) remains weak, falling 8% to $1.17B; that's soundly below guidance for -1% to +3% growth. Hardware products -14%, support -1%. Services revenue -7% to $855M.
- GAAP opex +2% to $5.6B; sales/marketing spend +5% to $1.71B, R&D +7% to $1.32B.
- Shares -2.3% AH. CC at 5PM ET, guidance will be provided.
- FQ1 results, CEO news, PR
Thu, Sep. 18, 4:11 PM
- Along with its FQ1 results, Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) announces Larry Ellison is resigning as CEO. President/ex-H-P CEO Mark Hurd and CFO Safra Catz will act as co-CEOs going forward.
- Ellison, 69, is taking over the role of chairman from Jeff Henley, who has held it for 10 years, and has also been named CTO. Henley is now vice chairman.
- Sales, service, and "vertical industry global business units" will report to Hurd. Manufacturing, finance, and legal teams will report to Katz. Software and hardware engineering teams will continue reporting to Ellison.
- Director Michael Boskin: "Larry has made it very clear that he wants to keep working full time and focus his energy on product engineering, technology development and strategy."
- Shares -2.7% AH following the news and Oracle's FQ1 miss.

- After moving back above the $100/share level, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is back over the $600B mark in market cap, pushing it nearly $200B above Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), the next largest company in the U.S.
- XOM is still valued at more than $400B, but Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) at $397B and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) - which has surged in 2014, adding $74B in market cap to $386B - are closing the gap.
- Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) completes the top five with a $339B market cap; no other companies are worth more than $300B.
- Rounding out the top 20 market caps: JNJ, WFC, GE, WMT, CVX, PG, JPM, FB, VZ, IBM, PFE, KO, ORCL, T, MRK.
Tue, Sep. 2, 5:28 PM
- Concur (NASDAQ:CNQR) approached SAP and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) to "gauge their interest" in an acquisition, sources tell Bloomberg. Oracle, set to buy point-of-sale hardware vendor Micros for $5.3B, is said to have passed.
- No details are given on SAP's reaction. Back in January, the German software giant suggested it could make another big cloud software acquisition - it already has a few under its belt. But in April, SAP, which is counting on cloud growth to offset slumping traditional license sales, stated it considers itself under no pressure to make a deal.
- Concur has pared its AH gains: The cloud travel/expense software provider is now up 11%. Its market cap stands at $6.4B.
- Earlier: Concur reportedly exploring sale
Wed, Aug. 27, 7:21 PM
- IDC estimates global server sales rose 2.5% Y/Y in Q2 to $12.6B. That marks a turnaround from the 2.2% drop seen in Q1, and the 4.4% drop seen in Q4. Gartner estimates sales grew 2.8%.
- IDC declares the server market, hurt in recent quarters by system consolidation and a shift in demand towards the white-label gear beloved by Web giants (referred to by IDC as ODM Direct), is seeing "the beginning of a cyclical refresh cycle." It sees the pending launch of Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Grantley Xeon CPUs, along with Microsoft's plans to end Windows Server 2003 support, lifting sales into 2015.
- Sales of x86 servers (mostly Intel-based) rose 7.8% in Q2, and now make up 78% of industry revenue. Non-x86 server sales fell 12.8%.
- Market leader H-P's (NYSE:HPQ) share rose 40 bps Y/Y to 25.4%, with x86 growth offsetting Itanium weakness. #2 IBM's share fell 340 bps to 23.6% ahead of the sale of its x86 server ops to Lenovo; on the bright side, IBM's decline narrowed from Q1's 600 bps.
- #3 Dell's share fell 160 bps to 16.2%. #4 Oracle's (NYSE:ORCL) grew 10 bps to 5.9%, with engineered system growth offsetting declines for older UNIX/SPARC server lines. #5 Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), which recently proclaimed its UCS server ops are on a $3B/year run rate, saw its share rise 140 bps to 5.8% on the back of 35% growth. Cisco should pass Oracle in a quarter or two.
- ODM Direct vendors saw their share grow 110 bps to 6.6%. The shares of all other vendors rose 190 bps to 16.1%.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
For banks in developing economies, expansion can be hindered by vast rural terrain and isolated unbanked populations. However, several trailblazing Latin American banks are overcoming the geographic, economic and regulatory hurdles, with floating branches, outpost locations and ATMs with native language options.
This is a significant development, since our recent report, The Role of Mexican banks in economic growth, notes the opportunity for banks in Mexico, or any developing market, that find alternative ways to serve smaller communities.
While some banks have introduced rural mobile phone banking or set up in-store kiosks, one of Brazil's largest banks began testing Amazon River services three years ago, using a 125-foot riverboat. With a laptop-equipped banker onboard, as well as a copier and ATM, the vessel travels every two weeks between a dozen Amazon ports including Colombian and Peruvian border towns.
This strategy enables the bank to serve remote customers who often earn low or variable incomes, producing small margins that don't justify big investments in technology or branches. The bank also overcame the obstacle posed by anti-money laundering laws, which would typically prohibit deposit-taking from customers with no fixed address or official documents.
By negotiating with authorities who are eager to improve rural financial inclusion, they agreed to basic personal data collection, including cell phone numbers, and limiting transactions and balances. These guidelines could change as client needs and confidence increase. In just three years, the bank has opened more than half a million accounts linked to a cell phone.
A major Peruvian retail bank began testing a similar concept last year by sending a riverboat branch into the sparsely populated Amazon region of Loreto. The bank has also enabled dozens of local stores to act as correspondent agency branches, to receive deposits and pay cash through SMS messages. Meanwhile, a Peruvian state-owned bank is rolling out an electronic cash transfer program for rural residents and installing Quechua-language ATMs in villages where Spanish is not widely spoken.
These banks expect that customers will gradually learn to manage their money and increase their savings as local economic development accelerates. Eventually, the banks may introduce more sophisticated products such as savings accounts, loans and insurance.
Such low cost approaches offer potential for banks to expand their coverage and nurture relationships with un-banked populations, without major technology, staffing or real estate investment.

During the 1990s, the federal government supported a number of weather research and research-to-operations planning activities (e.g., the U.S. Weather Research Program; USWRP), to identify key gaps in the understanding and simulation of severe weather of all types and their societal impacts, seeking to accelerate the rate at which weather forecasts were improved. Priorities developed by the USWRP were the starting point for a number of efforts including field campaigns and testbeds. However, these priorities, which were identified in documents published by the USWRP "Prospectus Development Teams" (PDTs), were developed more than a decade ago.
This study will explore the status of weather research and the research-to-operations activities at the federal level. It will discuss whether USWRP priorities remain relevant and how they might evolve to better meet current interagency needs. The goal is not to critique USWRP documents written more than a decade ago or to provide a formal review of current planning documents, but rather to identify emerging agency priorities and opportunities for interagency collaboration. Using the PDTs and briefings on current agency activities as a starting point, the questions to be addressed include:
What has been achieved?
What has not been achieved?
What is no longer relevant?
What current issues were not anticipated when the PDTs were written (e.g., extreme weather in the context of climate change)?
What could be done in the short term to reinvigorate agency and interagency planning for weather research and research-to-operations activities in the United States?

Portage is a city that is established, presenting tried-and-true opportunities for businesses, but it is also a city on the move, growing in substantial ways that help to bring new prospects for businesses looking to lay down a foundation.
Gregg Sobkowski, past president of the Greater Portage Chamber of Commerce, says, "There are a lot of reasons why Portage is a great city to do business in. Its proximity to the lake is attractive, the major transportation hug wth the Port, rail, the highways. Portage is the city with the largest population in all of Porter County so that is attractive to businesses and we continue to be a growing community. There is still land available for developing."
One business that has called Portage home for years now and has recently invested even more in its business and the community is The Estate. Shannon Burhans, owner of The Estate explains, "Originally the building we're in was built in the 1970s and used to be a house. There was a chiropractor in here for many years before we bought it and it was in horrible shape. In the beginning we just did an internal remodel and some Band-Aid fixes outside. There used to be a glass atrium on the outside and it was in bad shape so we tore it off since no one could fix it. We moved in in 2007 and it was always our intent to fix it, but we got busy and put it off."
Just this past October, Burhans says that they underwent a major renovation, outside as well as inside. "We did a full remodel. There used to be siding and it all came off. There is an overhang now which adds an entryway, new columns outside, and inside, all of the old doors came out and we installed new commercial windows. It was a fairly substantial project and now it looks like a commercial building instead of a house. We'd like to do a little more, including some additional landscaping soon. But the result has been wonderful. The customers have definitely noticed. This is our permanent home and we will continue to update the appeal for the city," she says.
The investment in their business has been an investment in Portage, and Burhans says they worked with the city to make it happen. "It's a breath of fresh air for Willowcreek. We had intended to do it earlier but we got really busy and ran into a few glitches with our vision and city ordinances, so it got pushed off for a year, but then we talked to our city planner A.J. Monroe he was great. He worked with us and talked to us about what we could do that fit in with the city code so we didn't hit any snags and that worked better," says Burhans.
Another business that has also invested in Portage is a new business, Porter Pool and Spa Supply, and Frank Farkas says that the city is a great place to call home. "The store just opened March 1st at 6487 Melton Rd. Unit B in Portage. People have been very receptive and the traffic on U.S. 20 is doing it justice," Farkas says.
Farkas owned the building which houses his business next door, Portage Electric Supply Corporation, so Porter Pool and Spa Supply, was opened by Owner Paul Farkas who has been in the pool and spa business for 22 years. "It is a full service pool sales store with new pools, chemicals, and all the accessories. We do liner replacement, service to existing pools and pumps, and the spa side offers accessories and as the pool season winds down we will get more into the spa side. We do plenty of pool installations and service," says Farkas.
Another new business, Texas Roadhouse, opened in Portage at 6130 E US Highway 6 on December 17th and Managing Partner Doug Giltrop says Portage is a great place to call home. "Texas Roadhouse is a corporate chain restaurant out of Louisville, Kentucky. We thought Portage was a nice city and looked at it and its demographics, and it matched up to the Texas Roadhouse needs. Business opened up strong and overall we've been really happy," he says. Texas Roadhouse first opened in 1993 in Clarksville, Ind. and they offer hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, and fresh-baked bread. They provide larger portions so customers get more food for their dollar.
Sidebar on Housing
Call Portage Home!
Portage is the largest city in Porter County and the third largest in Northwest Indiana. In fact, 36,828 people call Portage home, according to the 2010 census. Robin Wilkening, broker associate with Remax Affiliates, says that the reason why Portage is so popular is obvious—because Portage is a great place to call home, and the numbers are on the rise.
"Portage people are very friendly, very welcoming. It's a new community that has been around since 1968 so we don't have a lot of the historic value, which means we're still growing. Our people are our biggest attraction, but we have our proximity as well, to the expressways, the toll road, the Port, the South Shore—it gives us an advantage for people traveling into Chicago or other places so you don't have to depend on a car to get into the city. And of course the lake is a big advantage, especially with our Marina which is very busy. There's always a waiting list for all of the slips. Lakefront and Riverwalk Park really put us on the map. And of course we have the trail system which is unique to our community—we have two trails in our city, and a third coming soon, so people can go from county to county and city to city without a car," she says.
While many communities in the country experienced a housing crash, Wilkening says that is not the case in Portage. Wilkening explais, "Everything changed in about 2006 or 2007 when the economy took a tank and it affected people financially in this area. People lost their jobs and couldn't afford their mortgages, and there were a lot of foreclosures and restrictions on loans, but now the government has released those restrictions and the market is taking a little bit of a turn. We're busier now in the winter than we have been in quite a few years. We never had the bubble and so we never had the crash that places like Florida and Las Vegas had, but prices are creeping back up so we are trending toward a sellers' market and a buyers' market now. Plus, when Meijers opens in June, that will be a big key as to what is going on. They're very community minded and they're already out in the community working with too. But our housing is more affordable than other communities with our low taxes. People come over from Lake County because its affordable to live here."

EMIT Technologies Announces New Human Security Portal
New portal prototype is complete, is designed to reduce checkpoint staffing
EMIT systems, which utilize near-field microwave technology, are very simple to operate, non-invasive, require little special training, and in most cases need no operator to assist in making a decision based upon the presented data. The PPII technology is safe; its level of EMF energy emission has been independently tested by an FDA approved laboratory and determined to be at least 80 times below IEEE standards, and potentially from 700-2000 times below other safety standards (EMIT's measured level of EMF is lower than fluorescent overhead lighting).
* The actual microwave exposure is 1/1000 of a second. The remaining time is used for entering and exiting the portal.

This IS the northwest
Writer, Jim Haley (left) and US Navy forester Walter Briggs are not as miserable as they may appear in this photo, despite the fact Haley wore jeans, the wrong thing for the wet. The day is just getting started, however, so there's plenty of time for misery to set in. As soon as I get my other light to work, I'll be crawling around the forest floor in search of whatever flora or fauna dare show itself on this blustery, northwest day.

Berkeley Springs Bungalow Rental Photos and Description
Bungalow, 4 Bedrooms (See Description), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8)
Designed as a retreat for personal rest and relaxation, River House WV offers a unique escape from the tumult of everyday life--and endless opportunities to unwind and have fun!
Just a 90-minute drive from the Baltimore/Washington DC areas, River House WV is an original 1925 Arts & Crafts bungalow set above a spectacular bend of the sparkling Cacapon River! Just 5 miles from the center of downtown Berkeley Springs in the small town of Great Cacapon (closer than many lodgings located IN Berkeley Springs!) Many members of our 'Family of Guests' regard River House WV as a second home (ask about our repeat customer program!)
January through March is a quiet time--perfect for relaxing by the river, but there's also plenty to do! Hike, bike, kayak or canoe, or check the local events calendar below!
April is 'Get Outdoors Month' here in Morgan County--And Springtime is the best time to 'Wild Walk' at River House WV with our naturalist as the mountain trees and flowers awaken! Start a morning with a dose of Appalachian plantlore and some edibles from the garden before you head to the hammock or river deck with a good book...
Summer weather beckons our guests down to the very private river area for swimming, tubing, kayaking and fabulous fishing! The beautiful Cacapon River--just below our yard--is chock-full of large and small-mouth bass, catfish and bluegills.
All Summer long--Come float our 'Tube Loop'!
Our solitary location on the riverbend allows our guests a unique opportunity--Guests can put in the river at River House WV, float to a public access area and a short walk overland, then put in again at another public access and float back to the house! Just in time to pick peaches or concord grapes...
In Autumn the peak colors envelope River House WV as apple butter is made in the Berkeley Springs town square and local artists open their studios to the public for amazing pre-holiday shopping! At the same time the apples and pears start to drop from the trees in our yard...
In Winter, many folks come to share the complete peace and quiet that reside here in our mountain valley, and the simple pleasures afforded by our bungalow. (Although, groups of friends or music circles around the backyard firepit are as common as s'mores lately, so the woodpeckers are more curious than ever!)
Available year-round at River House WV: On-site 'Wlld Walks' (free to guests) and simple-living classes (with pre-arrangment). We leave a free sample bottle of local raw honey from the Farmer's Market and a current issue of the local newspaper to welcome all guests, as well as a basket full of samples and special offers from shops and restaurants in Berkeley Springs. At River House WV, along with a local phone book, maps and updated Studio Tour Guide, guests find our Sourcebooks which list local services and providers, from current events to all the local restaurant menus!
Some guests don't leave River House WV while they're here. Others split their time at the house and river with the local parks, waterways and wildlife management areas that abound here. Many folks visit the charming, historic small art town of Berkeley Springs, the Country's First Spa, with its wonderful restaurants, shops, spas and galleries! The Overlook at Propsect Peak--from which you can see the mountains of 3 states--lay in between, so the 5 miles between River House WV and Berkeley Springs are breathtaking! As some friends in Berkeley Springs say, we're 'right over the big mountain!'
Whenever you need to getaway, River House WV presents the stage--you choose the activities!

About The Owner
An artist by trade/naturalist by design, I maintain my artglass studio in a converted garage adjacent to River House WV--which has become a favorite gathering spot for some of my regular guests!
My husband is a general contractor (who loves to hunt and fish!), and as we share an affinity for homes of this period, he enjoys taking care of and making improvements to River House WV...Our home-away-from-home above the river!
We're both active in our community--Currently serving on several boards, maintaining active membership in local organizations such as The Morgan County Association of Food and Farms (MCAFF), Travel Berkeley Springs (TBS) and the Morgan Arts Council (MAC)and as well as organizing/participating in numerous local events (including the Berkeley Springs Fall Studio Tour, annual road clean-ups and exhibit curating at the local artists coop, The Ice House Gallery). Among other things, such involvement helps keep us current with all that's happening in our busy and upbeat area!
The Owner purchased this bungalow in 2008
Why The Owner chose Berkeley Springs
We live here, love where we live, and have always played in this river! Friends had owned the home, and were selling it in order to move to another area. We love River House WV and its location--close to our own home, so we're on hand if you need us--on the Cacapon River, at the very edge of a very small town, so near to Berkeley Springs. We purchased River House WV as OUR vacation home and art studio, and to share!
We really enjoy introducing people (or welcoming them back!) to our rich and beautiful area, with its natural abundance and warm and supportive local community. Our guests are FABULOUS! Sharing our river home has given us the opportunity to meet some truly wonderful folks!
What makes this bungalow unique
The peace and quiet of the Cacapon River are unrivaled, and the beautiful riverside property at River House WV is one of the most secluded and private spots there is--Truly a nature lover's paradise!
It's not uncommon to see not only birds of every color and description, including bald and golden eagles and numerous variety of hawks, songbirds and water bird like kingfishers and herons-both blue and green--but guests have reported seeing deer, foxes, minks, muskrats, river otters, possums and an occasional raccoon or even bobcat. (Last year, one of our regular guests regaled us with tales of a delightful afternoon spent floating the loop with our resident beaver!)

And addendum to that question, do any wireless routers contain tools
so that you can block all but specific hardware addresses? That is, my
home wireless router would block all but my hardware address, much
like hard-wired networks often require registration of hardware
addresses before allowing a new system to access it. I do believe
there are methods of spoofing hardware addresses but that aside, do
wireless routers have capabilities for this sort of thing that a home
user could easily administer to better secure their home network?
