REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/12 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Eloqua, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELOQ), a leading provider of cloud-based marketing automation and revenue performance management software for $23.50 per share or approximately $871 million, net of Eloqua's cash. Eloqua's modern marketing cloud delivers best-in-class capabilities to ensure every component of marketing works harder and more efficiently to drive revenue.
The combination of Oracle and Eloqua is expected to create a comprehensive Customer Experience Cloud offering to help companies transform the way they market, sell, support and serve their customers. The combined offering is expected to enable organizations to provide a highly personalized and unified experience across channels, create brand loyalty through social and online interactions, grow revenue by driving more qualified leads to sales teams, and provide superior service at every touchpoint.
The Board of Directors of Eloqua has unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2013, subject to Eloqua stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
"Modern marketing practices are driving revenue growth and is a critical area of investment for companies today," said Thomas Kurian, Executive Vice President, Oracle Development. "Eloqua's leading marketing automation cloud will become the centerpiece of the Oracle Marketing Cloud and is an important addition to the Oracle Customer Experience offering, which includes the Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle Commerce Cloud, Oracle Service Cloud, Oracle Content Cloud and Oracle Social Cloud."
"Exceptional customer experience starts with knowing your customer's preferences and delivering a highly personalized buying experience," said Joe Payne, Chairman and CEO, Eloqua. "Together with Oracle, we expect to accelerate the pace of the modern marketing revolution and help our customers transform the way they market, sell, support and serve their customers."

When used in this document, the words "anticipates", "can", "will", "look forward to", "expected" and similar expressions and any other statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. Any such statement may be influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Oracle or Eloqua, that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected, described, expressed or implied in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the possibility that the transaction will not close or that the closing may be delayed, the anticipated synergies of the combined companies may not be achieved after closing, the combined operations may not be successfully integrated in a timely manner, if at all, general economic conditions in regions in which either company does business, and the possibility that Oracle or Eloqua may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of Oracle or Eloqua.
In addition, please refer to the documents that Oracle and Eloqua, respectively, file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.

Neither Oracle nor Eloqua is under any duty to update any of the information in this document.

Fund managers consider flotation on London market
The London Stock Exchange could be poised for at least two major fund management flotations as insurers consider partial sales of their asset management arms.
Jupiter's successful listing is thought to have alerted both Standard Life and Prudential of the possible gains to be made from either floating or partially selling their fund management arms, Standard Life Investments (SLI) and M&G.
Jupiter, run by Edward Bonham Carter, has seen its shares soar to close on Friday at 253.5p, up 2.9p, after joining the market at 165p. It has proved that there is an appetite among investors for fund management groups after the troubled listing of Gartmore last year.
It is likely that both companies would retain small teams to handle their life assurance assets, or substantial stakes in their subsidiaries, if they opted to make such a move.
Standard Life executives are understood to have been touring the City in a bid to convince analysts that SLI's true worth is not reflected in the valuation of the group.
Standard closed at 229.9p, down 1.2p, on Friday but its "embedded" value, which tots up the value to the company of all the plans and policies held by customers, stands at more than 300p.
The group is already understood to have worked on plans to spin SLI off during the middle part of the decade, when regulators demanded it raise more capital resulting in the group's flotation.
Reheating the idea now would appease Keith Skeoch, the ambitious head of SLI who was passed over for the job of chief executive of Standard Life Group in favour of former finance director David Nish.
Rumours of a similar move at M&G have been gathering strength since the disastrous attempt by its partner, Prudential, to take over Asian insurer AIA.
Hostility towards chief executive Tidjane Thiam and chairman Harvey McGrath, seen as the deal's architects, led a group of small investors to chant the name of M&G boss Michael McLintock at a stormy group AGM. He is seen as a possible successor to Mr Thiam, who only narrowly survived calls for his head after the AIA debacle, which cost the company more than £300m.
A spin-off would generate capital for the group and could appease critics who have called for a break-up of the company. M&G has been used as something of the cash cow for the group.
Prudential shares closed on Friday at 636.5p, down 8.6p, having recently stated a recovery following the deal.

I were size US 12. Anyone recommend a size for me. There is either 45 or 46.5 left. Not sure what size to go with.
6ft. at 180lbs. slim athletic build. Prchased LG. Just ok for me. Fit well. Light weight. Just not the warmth I was looking for. Returned it.
0 Comments
I am 6ft at 180lbs. with a slim athletic muscler build. I reviewed this as not recommended because for being a mid-layer it had a very large torso area. I can only imagining this fitting a over weight person or someone with a beer gut. Did not fit under my Norrana shell at all. I will say it had good construction, light weight, and warm. The draw string on the bottom is a nice touch.
0 Comments
Like the color, fit and style. Keeps me warm while not being to heavy and bulky. Only down side that I can give it is it could be a little longer. Its waist length. My opinion anything that is the outside shell that is for cold weather should be about hip length.

/PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jdtt78/saudi_arabia) has announced the addition of the "Saudi Arabia Electric Smart Meters Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019" report to their offering.
According to Saudi Arabia Electric Smart Meters Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.12% during 2014-19 in revenue terms. Smart grid installation in the country was initiated by Saudi Electric Company in 2010, by installing around 50,000 meters in a pilot project.
The country plans to replace traditional meters with smart meters across all segments. In 2012, the country had more than 6.5 million subscribers, which are expected to increase over the next five years, where majority of subscribers were from the residential sector, which accounted for approximately 5 million users. In addition, the Saudi Arabian government plans to install smart meters across the country in four major phases.
In first phase, industrial and construction segment was targeted until 2013, followed by commercial and government sectors until 2015, and residential sector is to be covered in two subsequent phases by 2021. Smart meter forms an integral part of smart grids, and help in monitoring the electricity supply even from distance by using wireless technologies. By using smart meters, power thefts and power losses can easily be monitored and controlled.

South Africa mall collapse: One dead and dozens injured by wreckage of half-built Durban shopping centre
Search and rescue operation called off after officials find just one body and no survivors in rubble
Tuesday 19 November 2013
At least one person was killed and dozens injured after a half-built shopping centre collapsed near Durban, South Africa on Tuesday afternoon.
Large numbers of construction workers were on site when a huge section of the unfinished building caved in, thought to be about the size of a football pitch, and was feared to have left many trapped in the rubble.
It is thought that 29 people were taken to hospital in the town of Tongaat, some 20 miles north of the coastal city of Durban, with a number said to have suffered "massive traumatic injuries".
A rescue team worked through the night and into the morning picking through the rubble, but the search operation was called off today after no survivors were found or bodies added to the one confirmed death last night.
"The scene is extremely horrific ... concrete big blocks have fallen on to people," said Chris Botha, a spokesman for the Netcare 911 emergency service.
Last night he spoke from the scene, telling broadcaster ENCA that the second floor of the structure had given way.
"The guys are busy using hydraulic rescue equipment to break through the concrete and get to some of the patients," he said.
While the cause of the collapse remains unclear, unconfirmed reports suggest the company building the mall had received a number of injunctions from local authorities - the latest on 14 November - ordering it to halt construction.
District mayor James Nxumalo told Talk Radio 702: "It looks like the company violated all of those court orders and now this tragedy happened."
Local media reports suggested that if safety regulations had indeed been flouted, and if South Africa's powerful unions were to suffer a high death toll among their workers as a result, it could be disastrous for the record of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) as it moves towards a general election next year.

S.F. seeks bigger visitor boost from China, India and Brazil
- Renée Frojo
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+
San Francisco Travel gave a positive forecast for the city's international travel and tourism industry on Tuesday, citing steady growth from foreign travelers and a larger presence in overseas markets.
However, the industry could still do more to capture travelers from fast-growing emerging markets, including China, India and Brazil, and will need more interest from international airlines to do so.
Within the next few years, international visitors will actually outpace domestic travelers to California, according to Dan Mishell, director of research for Visit California, who spoke at San Francisco Travel's annual international travel and tourism forum on Tuesday.
That, he added, is news to celebrate, "since international travelers stay longer and spend more."
Overall spending by international travelers in San Francisco is expected to increase nearly 10 percent this year, while spending by domestic travelers should only rise 4.8 percent.
The forecast builds on last year's figures, when the city welcomed an estimated 4 million international travelers who collectively had a $2.6 billion impact on the local economy.
International flights into San Francisco Airport were also up 5.9 percent last year over 2011, as foreign travelers made up about 24 percent of total visitors to the city.
But while the outlook is nothing but rosy for the city at the moment, the industry needs to turn its focus on increasing its presence in emerging markets while they're still growing, said San Francisco Travel President and CEO Joe D'Alessandro.
Today, the most international travelers to San Francisco are coming in from Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom, followed by China, Germany, France and Australia. For those established markets, San Francisco is the number one motivator to visit California. But the same is not the case for emerging market visitors.
Renée Frojo covers hospitality, restaurants, retail and nonprofits for the San Francisco Business Times.

By: Kai Porter, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The Albuquerque Police Department is not saying why there was no video on Officer Jeremy Dear's lapel camera when he fatally shot 19-year-old Mary Hawkes last month.
Wednesday, the Albuquerque Police Department announced that TASER, the company that manufactures lapel cameras, could not retrieve video from the camera of Officer Jeremy Dear, who shot Mary Hawkes in April. Police say Hawkes was accused of stealing a car and was holding a gun.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 asked police if the company was able to determine if the camera malfunctioned or if Officer Dear didn't turn it on.
"The questions you have about whether or not Dear had turned on his camera are all part of an internal investigation and as such, we can not comment," Janet Blair, a spokesperson for APD, said in a statement. "All I can tell is that lapel camera policies are under review."
On Wednesday, police did release several short video clips from other officers' cameras that did not capture the shooting. Audio was missing from several portions of those videos.
Mary Hawkes is visible in another clip from a surveillance camera at a car wash. The car wash released the video to KOB Eyewitness News 4 right after the shooting, and APD released it Wednesday. Hawkes is running with something in her hand; police say it's a gun.
The rest of the clips seem to come after the shooting. They include an officer talking to dispatch about getting rescue units for Hawkes and one showing officers putting up caution tape.
APD also released a photo of the gun they say they found at the scene.

Colombo, Independence banks settle their regulatory disputes
- Bryant Ruiz Switzky
Rockville-based Colombo Bank and D.C.-based Independence Federal Savings Bank, both controlled by real estate developer Morton Bender, have settled separate disputes with regulators over the scope of proposed enforcement orders.
Both banks, which have been under regulatory orders since 2009, challenged provisions of fresh cease-and-desist orders the Office of Thrift Supervision sought to levy against them last fall.
The banks submitted their own revised orders, and regulators accepted them. The initial proposed orders are not public, so it's unclear what changes were made.
The new orders, dated Feb. 23 for Independence and March 2 for Colombo Bank, require them to make changes to improve safety and soundness.
Both banks must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12 percent, and they must submit plans by June 30 showing how they will accomplish that.
Independence's current ratios are 4.63 percent and 9.47 percent, and Colombo's ratios are 5.13 percent and 10.88 percent. To improve capital ratios amid fairly steady losses, banks typically must limit their lending and shrink their balance sheets.
Colombo had $166 million in assets in 2010, and Independence had $111 million.

I have come to see the argument over God's sovereignty and man's responsibility as a key dividing line between true submission to God and actual worship of self. Those who cannot accept the hard teachings of God always come up with a man-pleasing alternative. From "natural causes" for the crossing of the Red Sea to "natural causes" for the resurrection of spiritually dead souls – our natural state is to deny God's sovereignty. There is no neutral corner into which we can retreat. We who have been born again by the Spirit of the living God must submit to Him, though our flesh fails us and always tries to lead us astray.

Many have posited what they call the doctrine of prevenient grace which, according to their view, grants the power of "libertarian free will" universally.

They define it as "a person's ability to choose other than he has chosen." If I choose to eat chicken, I have equal ability to choose to eat steak. I have no issue with the idea that God has granted people the freedom of choice. Even the vilest sinner is free to choose to leave his sins and follow Christ if he wishes. If he should choose that option, he would do so because he had chosen to do so freely and apart from external constraint. By that, I do not mean that the human will is autonomous and acts…

Tyra Banks thinks 'plus-size' should be renamed "fiercely real".
The supermodel is part of a campaign with Special K cereal to banish talk of fuller-figured women.
Tyra believes the term used to describe them should be re-worded to give a more optimistic and less harmful feel.
"I don't like the label 'plus-size' - I call it 'fiercely real'. On American's Next Top Model, we call it fiercely real. I don't want to use the term 'plus-size,' because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it," she exclaimed to HuffPost Style.
Tyra demonstrated her outlook when she crowned curvy Whitney Thompson the winner of America's Next Top Model in 2008's cycle ten.
Afterwards Whitney was given the label of the show's first 'plus-size' champion, with Tyra then launching her Fiercely Real Model Search for teenagers of any size two years after.
In order to make young girls feel confident in their bodies, the 40-year-old fashionista hopes to encourage them to embrace their appearance.
"We just need to make sure it's not a trend and that it's something that's normal, because this stuff comes in waves and it would be nice to see it become constant," she added.
Jennie Runk, H&M's first labelled 'plus-size model', recently shared her opinion on how fashion houses and retailers use the label.
"Clothing companies do this in order to offer their customers exactly what they're looking for, making it easier for people of all sizes to find clothes that fit their bodies as well as their own unique stylistic expression," she recently explained.

'Clean hands' candidate looks likely to be Poland's next PM
The nomination of Mr Cimoszewicz, which was almost certain to be accepted by President Aleksander Kwasniewski, marked the end of a week of hard bargaining between leaders of the former Communist Social Democratic Alliance (SLD) and its junior coalition partner, the Polish Peasants' Party (PSL). It appeared to guarantee that Poland will continue moving in the direction of economic reform, and preparing itself for membership of the European Union and Nato.
Mr Cimoszewicz, a 45-year-old lawyer and former justice minister, was one of several candidates for the premiership following Mr Oleksy's dramatic resignation last week amidst protestations of innocence. Although he is part of the SLD's parliamentary caucus, he is not a member of its core party, and is seen as something of an independent spirit. As justice minister he became famous for his "clean hands" campaign aimed at ensuring that government officials were not using their positions to reap illicit financial gains - a policy which antagonised large sections of the SLD itself.
Mr Cimoszewicz also made his mark on the national level when he ran unsuccessfully against Lech Walesa in the 1990 presidential election.
The PSL originally proposed its own candidate for prime minister, but finally agreed to the candidacy of Mr Cimoszewicz yesterday while making it clear that it expected to be given more ministries in the new government.
Although Poland's constitution allows 14 days for the appointment of a new prime minister following a resignation, many of the country's senior leaders - including Mr Kwasniewski - had pressed for earlier agreement on a replacement. Mr Kwasniewski, who today flies to Switzerland to participate in a meeting of the World Economic Forum, feared wrangling over Mr Oleksy's successor could have created an impression of instability.

Melting snow, rain raise Pittsburgh's rivers
Pittsburgh's three rivers are on the rise, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a flood advisory for the area.
Widespread rainfall since Wednesday coupled with unseasonably warm weather earlier this week causing rapid snow melt is causing significant rises on the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, officials in the agency's Moon office said.
The Ohio River at Point State Park, Downtown, surpassed 18 feet Thursday, causing flooding at the Mon Wharf. The parking lot is closed. The Ohio River is expected to reach 22 feet and flood the 10th Street Bypass Thursday night. By Friday, it is expected to crest at 22.8 feet Friday afternoon and fall back below 18 feet Saturday night, forecasters said.
The Mon Wharf begins to flood at 18 feet and is completely submerged at 19.5 feet. Flooding along the lower areas of the North Shore River Walk is a foot deep when the Ohio River reaches 20 feet. Flooding of the 10th Street Bypass begins when the river reaches 22 feet. At 22.7 feet, the river floods the B&O Railroad on the North Side.
Flood stage is 25 feet. At 9 a.m., the river level was 17.8 feet, the agency reported.
The flood advisory for the head of the Ohio River is in place until Saturday night.

4Incentive Trips | Top Reasons Why You Need To Be On Them
Incentive Trips in MLM | Top Reasons Why You Need To Be On Them
I am in a mastermind group with other top leaders and I brought up the fact that I just qualified for my primary company's vacation incentive trip this June. We discussed how crucial it is that everyone puts their incentive trips down as a goal in their mlm. Here's My Top Reasons Why You Need To Be On Your Incentive Trip:
1. You get a FREE vacation. I'm sorry…this is numero uno. Let me say it again: YOU GET A FREE VACATION. Does anything else ever give you a FREE vacation??? If you have held down a J-O-B, did your boss send you on an all expense paid vacation just for doing your job? I highly doubt it. Yet, with mlm, you have at least one trip a year (with mine it is two) that is paid for as long as you do the bare minimum of achieving a set number of sales/enrollees.
2. You get to hang out with the top producers in your company. Hey, you obviously have some great skills to make a trip right? But how about learning some new ones? Typically when you spend time with the best of the best, you walk away with some great new information. Not to mention, making friends with other influencial leaders. This will take your business to the next level.
3. You are teaching your team how to be a leader in the industry. Let's face it, if you aren't on the trips, your team isn't going to think of you as a true leader. You always have to show that you are an achiever to motivate your people to become leaders.
4. You take some amazing photos of YOU in a very relaxing and awesome place. Think of the attraction value of that alone. Hey, I work at the beach, how's that job flipping burgers? Don't get me wrong, it's not to make others feel badly – rather it is a true motivator to get people to realize what they COULD be living, not the hum drum Office Space mentality that so many people have.
5. Meeting your company's executives. This for me is a big one. I love being able to talk to the people that run the company. Sometimes, it really gets me motivated to push even farther. People who start network marketing companies are special. They have enormous hearts and vision.
Here is your video for the day with my two cents:
One of the reasons I like to tell people to get on their incentive trips is because the requirements are very straight forward. This gives you and your team something very specific to aim towards. You don't need to wonder what you need to accomplish, you know exactly what it is.
The biggest reason you truly want to be on your incentive trip, is that it forces you to DO THE WORK that is required to grow your business. Getting on the trip is just the gravy. You will be shocked and very pleased at how that paycheck rises when you achieve that simple goal. Getting a free vacation? Heck, that is almost too much of a reward.
So make sure you set the goal of being on your network marketing company's incentive trips. You will be amazed at how something so simple will transform your business!

I could use a vacation!!!! This is a great article about setting goals and achieving them. Rewards are great in Network Marketing.
Great video, well said!! I truly believe the survival rate of those in any business, thrives on the ability to be around their leaders, learning what they did for success. And plus, that accessibility lets you also see the integrity of your company from the inside!
Not many opportunities out there like that, when one happens to work for someone else.
Thanks Michelle -
Wow, all very great points. When you put it like that why would ANYONE not strive to make their trip. I really love your first point: Where else will a company send you on vacation for doing what you're SUPPOSED to be doing anyway! Nice.
