5 Keys to a Thankful Thanksgiving By: Jim Rohn

5 Keys to a Thankful Thanksgiving
By: Jim Rohn
If your home is like most, your Thanksgiving Day will be very busy, either traveling to the dinner destination or preparing your home for guests to spend the day. Neither option lends itself to preparing your heart to be reflective and thankful.
1. Time. Regularly set aside time to be quiet, to reflect. We live in the fastest paced time ever. From the moment we awake to the moment we collapse into bed, we have the opportunity to go at full speed and never slow down. If we schedule time every day to reflect, we will free up our hearts and minds from the tyranny of the urgent and rushed.
2. Thought. Give thought to the many blessings that you have. Living in a consumer culture, most of us are fully aware of what we do not have and how we absolutely must have "it"—whatever it is. But how often do we reflect upon that which we already have? Take some time each day to think of one or two things you have that you typically take for granted and then take a moment and give thanks for those gifts.
4. Ask. The next time you are at lunch with a friend, ask them what they are most thankful for. You will be amazed at the answers you receive, and you will create a meaningful bond with your friends as you focus on this powerful question.
Cheap Gas Is Starting To Have An Impact On The Oil Boom
by admin
Falling oil prices is forcing some drilling companies to cut back on exploration work in Texas. Baker Hughes Inc. recently reported shutting down four of its rigs targeting crude oil in the Permian Basin region of Texas and New Mexico. Oil rig counts have also dropped in North Dakota's Williston Basin, home to the Bakken shale formation.
Oil prices have fallen 29 percent from the year's peak causing a slowdown in drilling activity that had reached its highest level in three decades. Retail gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon for the first time since 2010 and crude futures are now trading under $80 a barrel. "Prices in the lower $70s over a period of six months would slow" U.S. oil production, said Daniel Yergin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning oil historian and vice chairman of Englewood, Colo.-based consulting company IHS Inc., at a conference in New York. "People have leased rigs. They have rented them for the year and so forth. But you'd start to see an impact."
U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for January delivery settled at $76.51 a barrel recently on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Treasury Nets $35 Million in Securities Auction as Part of TARP Wind Down
by admin
As part of a continuing effort to wind down the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to bail out banks devastated by the financial crisis of six years ago, the U.S. Department of Treasury recently auctioned off preferred stocks for three institutions, gaining $35.6 million in aggregate gross proceeds.
The auction was part of Treasury's effort to recover remaining investments in the Capital Purchase Program (CPP). Treasury had outstanding investments in 39 CPP institutions heading into last week's auction.
As part of the auction, Treasury sold shares for the following institutions:
1. First United Corporation of Oakland, Maryland – 30,000 shares of fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock (series A) at $1,002.01 per share for, for a total of slightly more than $30 million in aggregate gross proceeds;
2. Lone Star Bank of Houston, Texas – 3,072 shares of fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (series A) at $621.25 per share and 154 shares of fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (series B) at $600.01 per share for total aggregate gross proceeds of slightly more than $2 million; and
3. Porter Bancorp of Louisville, Kentucky – 35,000 shares of fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock (series A) at $100.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million.
Shares of Liberty Shares, Inc., located in Hinesville, Georgia, were up for sale, but they did not sell because none of the bids were above the minimum price set for the securities according to the auction procedures, according to Treasury.
The aggregate gross proceeds for the three institutions total about $35.6 million. Closings for the auctions are expected to occur on or about December 4.
Signed into law by the Bush administration, TARP was created in 2008 at the height of the nation's financial crisis in order to implement programs to stabilize the financial system during the financial crisis of 2008. Treasury initially invested $245 billion in TARP's bank programs, and to date Treasury has recovered $275 billion through repayments, dividends, interest, and other income. The $30 billion overage has resulted in a significant profit for taxpayers. The Small Business Lending Fund (SLBF) has resulted in the repayment of about $2.2 billion in TARP funds by CPP institutions that refinanced their repayments under the SLBF. Congress created the SBLF as a way for CPP institutions to repay TARP funds.
Every dollar raised from this point forward, including the $35.6 million raised by the recent auction, is profit for taxpayers. Treasury originally outlined a strategy for winding down its remaining TARP bank investments in May 2012 "in a way that protects taxpayer interests and preserves the strength of our nation's community banks." The strategy to recover Treasury's investments includes using a combination of repayments, restructurings, and sales.
Staples to Close 170 Stores
by admin
Staples Inc. is accelerating its store closings this year and making progress toward its "reinvention," but the office supply chain expects fewer holiday sales compared to last year.
The Framingham Company also said it is unable to "reasonably estimate" the losses or expenses associated with a breach of its retail point-of-sale and computer systems disclosed last month, or the nature or scope of the incident. "The company has taken steps to address the intrusion and believe that we have identified and eradicated the malware used in the intrusion," it said in a regulatory filing yesterday.
Staples' third-quarter net income fell to $217 million from $220 million in the prior-year period, while revenue sank 2.5 percent to $5.96 billion, but both topped Wall Street expectations. Staples now has plans to close a total of 170 stores by year's end, up from its previous goal of 140 in 2014. The company, which is struggling to compete against online rivals, in March announced a two-year plan for shuttering 225 stores and $500 million in annual cost savings.
Staples shares rose 9.09 percent to close at $13.92. "Staples is making progress turning around its business via key initiatives that include accelerated store closings, aggressive costs cuts, restructuring of international markets and investments in Omni-channel (retailing), while ... expanding products beyond core office supplies," analyst David Strasser of Janney Capital Markets said in a research note yesterday. "These changes are offset by structural industry headwinds."
Staples expects earnings per share of 27 cents to 32 cents in the fourth quarter that includes the important holiday season, down from last year's 33 cents.
Repeat Foreclosure Percentage Increases to Tie All-Time High
by admin
The percentage of September's foreclosure starts that were repeat foreclosures rose by two percentage points month-over-month to account for 53 percent of foreclosure starts, tying the highest percentage for a single month, according to Black Knight Financial Services' September 2014 Mortgage Monitor.
In all, there were 91,000 foreclosure starts nationwide during September, an increase of 11.5 percent from August but a decrease of 16.5 percent from September 2013, when 109,000 foreclosure starts were reported, according to Black Knight. For September 2014, Black Knight reported that 48,200 of the 91,000 foreclosure starts were repeat foreclosures – a total of 53 percent, which tied July 2014 for the highest percentage in a single month since Black Knight began tracking the data in January 2008.
September 2014's percentage of repeat foreclosures represented an increase of 2 percentage points from August (41,500 out of 81,600, for 51 percent) and 4 percentage points from September 2013 (53,400 out of 109,000, a total of 49 percent). September 2014 was the eighth consecutive month in which the percentage of repeat foreclosures accounted for 50 percent or more of foreclosure starts and the 28th consecutive month in which the percentage totaled 40 percent or more. The percentage has not been below 40 percent since May 2012, when 80,800 out of 218,900 foreclosure starts were repeat foreclosures for a total of 37 percent, according to Black Knight.
The lowest percentage of repeat foreclosures was reported in February 2008, just prior to the housing bust, when 29,100 out of 205,000 foreclosure starts were repeats (14 percent). The percentage has been 20 percent or more every month since March 2009; the last month where repeat foreclosures made up less than 20 percent of foreclosure starts was February 2009 (48,200 out of 265,300, 18 percent), according to Black Knight.
The highest overall number of repeat foreclosures for any one month was reported in March 2011, when 109,500 repeat foreclosures were reported out of 263,900, for a total of 41 percent. The only other month in which the total number of repeat foreclosures exceeded 100,000 for a month was in March 2012 (103,800).

Was meant to be a gift but had to buy something else. Sun 03 Aug 2014 Delivery was confirmed for a certain date or before, didn't arrive, so emailed the seller, no response, rang them two days after due date and said it was going out that day - would have been nice for them to have let me know that the product would be late with an apology rather than me having to chase.

Back in the game
In a long-anticipated move, a reorganized General Motors announced Monday it will showcase its Cadillac brand as title sponsor of the World Golf Championships event at Doral Golf Resort & Spa.
The multiyear agreement calls for renaming the tournament, WGC-Cadillac Championship, and having Cadillac serve as an umbrella sponsor of the WGC series. The deal plugs a sponsorship vacancy that was created when CA decided to leave the event hosted at the famed South Florida resort.
GM's decision to invest again in golf sponsorships renews the automaker's half-century commitment to the sport as a marketing platform. While under bankruptcy ...

LA PAZ, Mexico – CostaBaja Resort & Spa, a 550-acre property on the Sea of Cortez, last week opened its new golf course, the first designed by Gary Player in Mexico or Latin America.
The course sits on a rugged, arid hillside overlooking the resort and the town of La Paz, which is located on the eastern coast of Baja, about a two-hour drive north of San Jose del Cabo.
"The landscape of the CostaBaja site in La Paz excited me from the beginning," Player said. "There is so much contrast in what we were able to create there with the green ...
Shark group to buy Valderrama
Valderrama Golf Club, a former Ryder Cup venue, and its adjacent property in Sotogrande, Spain, has agreed to be purchased by the Greg Norman-owned Stripe Group.
Soto Properties, controlled by Spanish businessman Jamie Ortiz-Patino, will sell the property for an undisclosed sum. The deal was expected to close within weeks.
The Stripe Group said it will purchase Valderrama to strengthen its position in the business of golf events in Europe. The course, site of the 1997 Ryder Cup, recently hosted the Andalucía Masters. Last year, the Stripe Group created the Dubai World Championship, the European Tour's season-ending event.

Poipu Bay set for December reopening
POIPU, KAUAI, Hawaii – Poipu Bay Golf Course, which has been closed since April 1 for greens refurbishment, is scheduled to reopen Dec. 16.
The original Tifdwarf Bermuda greens were replaced with a Sea Shore Paspalum hybrid (Supreme). The new grass is drought-tolerant and requires less fertilizer and almost no herbicides.
Poipu Bay also is repainting its 21,000-square-foot clubhouse, renovating the locker rooms and installing new carpeting.
The course, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, hosted the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994-2006.

Seaview Resort acquired by public college
It's not every day that a public college acquires a golf resort, let alone one that includes a Donald Ross design and ties to the LPGA.
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey closed recently on a $20 million deal for Seaview Resort, which features a historic hotel and The Bay Course – home of the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
What may seem a peculiar acquisition for a college actually makes plenty of sense, officials say.

This year's U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash., would be interesting enough just given the unique nature of this links-style golf course. But there's added interest for viewers at home since this year's championship is a preview of the U.S. Open to be held here in 2015. Moreover, in the wake of the "Bunkergate" furor that saw last week's PGA Championship end controversially, there's reason to think the sandy hazards at Chambers Bay could make for a similar dilemma.

Lodestone, which opened last month, rolls across 285 acres of mountainous terrain high above Wisp Resort and Deep Creek Lake, which locals have taken to calling the Lake Tahoe of the East. The $17 million project took three years of permitting and three years of difficult construction because of underlying ...

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
Completing a trade from the past, it was announced today that the Bills will be receiving Seattle's 5th Round pick which will be #138 or 139 overall. The pick depends on a coin flip that will occur at next week's NFL Combine. That will give the Bills picks 136 and 138/139 in the 5th Round. It also finalizes all the Bills current picks with nine total in the 2012 draft.

Cake decorating basics for pretty cakes, cupcakes, cookies and other sweet treats
If Pinterest is any indication, bunting/pennant banners are all the rage in cake decorating circles these days. Think of 'em as great ways to customize cakes while adding a nice decorative touch.
In less than 10 minutes, I made a personalized pennant banner for my niece Aliya's fondant owl cake and I bet you can too — make your own bunting cake topper in 10, I mean; not make Aliya's fondant owl cake…Unless you're Wonderwoman. I bet she could do so too.
Ready to get crafty with me? Here's what you'll need to get this DIY job done:
Skewer the cake with your bunting topper and you're done!
Hint: Use a tape-scrap template to evenly cut all hanging flags to the same shape and size.
This is all well and good but wouldn't my instructions be waaay easier to understand with photos showing the way? Great idea. I'm so glad you thought of it. Cue the photo gallery! (Click pics for full-size viewing.)
I had a hoot making this owl cake for my niece Aliya. Tee hee! Dare I say I'm getting the knack of working with fondant? This cake came together relatively quickly and easily.
This time, my secrets to success are fondant molds and an owl toy. It can't get much easier than that to pull this off, my friends. I mean, you could spend hours modelling an owl out of fondant and that's incredibly cool if you're so inclined. Or you can raid your niece's toy box, grab her favourite Littlest Pet Shop owl, throughly clean it, stick on the cake and call it a day. Guess which option I chose?
To make pretty tree branches, leaves, cherry blossoms and birds, I used Wilton's "Nature Designs" fondant and gum paste mold.
Just coat the cavities with vegetable shortening to prevent sticking, use a fondant smoother to press fondant into the mold, trim excess fondant and then bend the mold and call on your friend gravity to release your fondant shapes.
I managed to add another homemade touch, though. Yep, I got a little crafty by creating a personalized pennant topper for Aliya. More on that later.
One mishap arose when I made this cake. Short on patience, I rushed the assembly part. I stacked three layers of cake and buttercream but I think those layers weren't quite completely cooled. Under its own weight, the cake threatened to collapse and it bulged at the sides.
Oh no you di-in't!
I quickly moved the cake to the refrigerator to help firm things up. That did the trick to prevent further distortion but I had to use a serrated knife to carefully trim some of the sides of the fragile cake for a smooth finish before applying the fondant.
Lesson learned: Cool cake layers completely before stacking them.
Without further ado, here's my finished owl cake:
Wanna know how I made Aliya's bunting banner/pennant cake topper? Check out my next post, coming right up! (Er tomorrow, OK?)
When I usually set out to decorate a cake, I have a pretty good idea of the look I'm going for. But for my niece Ella's Dora the Explorer cake I didn't have a solid cake design in mind.
I knew I wanted a big Dora head on top of the cake but I was weighing my options right until the last second.
Fondant or buttercream?
Fondant and buttercream?
Mostly buttercream and just a fondant Dora?
Gah! I was indecisive and didn't have a lot of time to ponder options. So I sort of winged it and set to work on a Dora the Explorer cake for my sweet Ella.
Character cakes can go horribly wrong and the big challenge for this cake is Dora. I knew that if I didn't get her right, this cake would be a total flop. So it was parchment paper templates and the Internet to the rescue! I found this simple Dora the Explorer image at funnycoloring.com and it was the perfect size for my 13 x 9″ cake.
I simply traced a Dora face, hair and facial features and then I cut template pieces to assemble her face and hair.
Once I had Dora looking decent and not deformed (I did it! Yay!), I relaxed and focused on the rest of the cake decorating.
I applied a thin crumb coat to the sides of the cake and then iced and smoothed the top with blue buttercream. I went easy on the icing to avoid having globs of buttercream oozing out between the fondant decorations.
For the sides of the cake, I opted for wide stripes of green and pink fondant pieces.
I simply rolled and cut 1-inch wide strips, and then I attached them to the sides of the cake by lightly brushing them with water and pushing them into place. I trimmed most pieces before I attached them but you could also line them up with the top edge of the cake and then run a pizza wheel along the bottom edge to trim the excess. Then I used a fondant smoother to smooth and gently press the pieces into place.
I used my trusty leaf cutter set to cut large and small leaves and then I used a small spatula to press veiny indentations into the leaves for detail.
Finally, I added a map and hand-wrote a happy birthday message for Ella using a black food colouring marker.
For finishing touches, I randomly placed leaves around the cake until I was happy with the design. I had to restrain myself from getting too detailed.
I fought the urge to quickly make Backpack and add Dora's torso; and tri-toned leaves for extra dimension would've been nice but before I knew it, I was out of time — and fondant — so I quit while I was ahead. Sometimes good enough is good enough, right?
Here's a Vine clip that shows the cake coming together like magic…
Ella was super excited when she saw her birthday cake. With an enthusiastic: "YOU MADE MY CAKE? I LOVE IT!" every second I spent on this cake was very much worth it. Mission accomplished.
That's it, that's all. I hope you have a fun day filled with Dora-inspired adventures.

I will be travelling from Canada to Italy. I looked at flying to either Florence or Rome. Is there a more direct route or more sensible way of doing this? I will need a day or two before heading to Cinque Terre by train.
Where have you stayed once in Cinque Terre area. I won't have a car so I don't want to be far out of the area.
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
Easiest way to get to Cinque Terre
I will be travelling from Canada to Italy. I looked at flying to either Florence or Rome. Is there a more direct route or more sensible way of doing this? I will need a day or two before heading to Cinque Terre by train.

Look at Pisa for flight options---the closest airport with many connecting flights in Europe.

Why do you need a day or two before going to le Cinque Terre? If you fly into Pisa or Genova, you can go there fairly easily by train.
Canada is a big place so it is hard for people to help you with a routing without know what airport in Canada you'll be using.
Le Cinque Terre is five teeny villages connected by a train line and by hiking paths, or short boat rides between the teeny villages. The villages are very vertical, so some people prefer staying in the slightly larger towns that are flatter and only a 15 minute train ride away from the villages and hikes. But if you are fit and have no trouble climbing flights of stairs, or walking up a steep incline, you might prefer to stay in the villages.
The towns also get quite crowded with tourists in the nice weather months, especially during the middle of the day, so that is another reason why some people prefer to book somewhere else along the train line.
It all depends on what you want to do and when you are going. If you are going in summer and want to do a lot of hiking, then stay in the villages so you can get an early morning start while it is still cool. If you are going just see how pretty they look, but otherwise intend to relax and swim, one of the nearby towns might be better for quiet and native Italian charm.
Report Abuse
One other tip:
If you are not going in summer, it can be better to stay near to le Cinque Terre but not right in it, so if it rains, you can more easily find other things to do than sit in your hotel room.

What time of year? You could look at flying into Milan, Pisa (Delta has a JFK/PSA seasonal flight) and Genoa also.
Report Abuse
Thanks stevewith...Sorry about the lack of detail - I should know better so I am flying out of Toronto. If I fly into Pisa, I agree it would be doable to go straight to Cinque Terre somewhere as I usually arrive early morning from here. I am a fairly fit woman so I think I would like to stay in a charming and relaxing spot. By relaxing, I do mean walking too..I am looking for "breathtaking" for the start of this voyage.

Flying into Piisa would be optimal, but if that proves impossible, before you consider Florence, look at Genoa and Milan (usually a whole bunch of easy connects via London and Paris), because the train travel time is equivalent to le Cinque Terre, but the logistics are often simpler (fewer changes of train, etc.)
Also, if you can get a direct flight to Rome, it is an easy plane switch to Genoa, and there are usually half a dozen flights a day. If you are feeling splurgy, for about 80 euros, you can land in Genoa, take a taxi to Camogli, and sleep off the jet lag in breathtaking Riviera town before proceeding on to le Cinque Terre by train when you feel like it.
Report Abuse
That last suggestion sounds enticing. I will look into that too. I hope to use the discount airline which I don't think flies into Genoa but does into Rome which could be an option. Thanks.
Report Abuse
It rarely costs any more money to book a single ticket on Orbitz that has you landing in Rome and switching immediately to an Alitalia flight for Genoa. It is better not to buy 2 separate tickets (one to Rome, one to Genoa on another carrier), because if your flight to Rome is delayed and you miss the connection, you lose the ticket if you bought it separately, and then must start spending money to get to Genoa. If you were booked through, they have to put you on the next plane to Genoa and not charge you anything.
There are also flights that go to Genova through London and Paris, on the major carriers. But again, the extra leg is usually not much.
I don't know where else you might be going after visiting the Italian Riviera, but before you purchase air tickets, you should consider flying out of other airports rather than retracing your steps backward.

After this, I hope to go to Provence...but that is dependent if I can piece all of this together (which is why I am posting).

This exclusive interview with John A. Swainson was conducted by JDJ publisher Jeremy Geelan and originally published in the print edition of JDJ's May 2004 issue.
Jeremy Geelan: Let's start at 35,000 feet: What's been the main impact of IBM's "On Demand" vision on the Information Technology scene to date?
Swainson: Let's start by defining "on demand." First, on demand reflects what our customers are doing with their businesses - streamlining their business processes to make them more flexible and adaptive to new markets and opportunities. They use information technology as a tool to integrate these processes, so obviously IT is a critical enabler of on demand. In the case of IBM software, our focus has been on making sure customers can use our products - WebSphere, DB2, Lotus, Tivoli, and Rational - to establish what we call an on demand operating environment, which is a middleware infrastructure that gives our customers a way to build, integrate, and manage their new and existing applications.
Making it possible for people to do this required that we create a new, standards-based computing model. This model is based on the technical principles of a service-oriented architecture. It is delivered in our products, ones like WebSphere Business Integration, that customers can buy today. However, more and more, we are seeing customers starting to approach this from the business process angle, using our business consultants to define the business processes, and then tying the delivery of those processes to a set of technology models that help them achieve their goals.
Many customers have begun to realize the business benefits of on demand. Charles Schwab has implemented a WebSphere-based solution to allow their financial advisors to deliver portfolio analyses to their clients in near real time. By taking advantage of grid computing features in WebSphere, they have been able to make more efficient use of server resources and reduce the elapsed time to run these transactions from 8 - 10 minutes to just 15 seconds.
Jeremy Geelan: How favorably does it resonate with your customers, the fourfold typology of 21st century businesses as needing to be responsive, resilient, variable, and focused? Are there any further attributes that have emerged as being equally important?
Swainson: On demand resonates very well with customers because it maps to what businesses today are trying to do - find ways to be more flexible and responsive in order to stay competitive. It manifests itself in things like our WebSphere and Tivoli products, where systems become self-monitoring and self-healing, cutting down on system outages and enabling employees to spend more time on higher-level tasks. We're also seeing more interest in business process integration projects geared to specific industries.
Jeremy Geelan: How large do SOAs loom in IBM's vision for the future?
Swainson: IBM has been helping customers build service-oriented architectures for more than 10 years, because SOA is a design pattern, not a product per se. We have thousands of customers who have built these on WebSphere and MQ. Based on this experience, we have worked with the industry to define a set of standards and have codified successful implementations into a set of templates and guidelines for our services teams to use.
We have worked with thousands of customers on Web services and SOA engagements, and we lead the industry in every aspect of SOA, including products, standards, education, services, and experience. Our work includes standards created by the big market share of products like WebSphere MQ enterprise messaging, as well as more formal standards. IBM was a primary driver behind the Web Services Interoperability Organization, and we work with other vendors to introduce specifications for transactions, reliability, management, and grid computing. JSR109 is a recent example.
Jeremy Geelan: And grid computing - where does that fit in?
Swainson: Grid computing is another technical underpinning of an on demand environment. We've been helping our customers develop grids for years, primarily for scientific analysis. Now IBM is introducing technology that can be applied to commercial grid environments to make them easier and less expensive to implement.
Jeremy Geelan: In terms of the competitive landscape, since Gartner reported that 37% of all deployed application servers were WebLogic vs. IBM (at 22%), things have changed dramatically. What are the current statistics in terms of market share between you and BEA?
Swainson: Last year Gartner reported that IBM's share of the application server market rose to 37% in 2002 from 31% in 2001, making us the market leader. BEA dropped to second place, with market share declining 5 points, to 29%. Our goal was to become the market leader, and we think we're extending our lead.
Jeremy Geelan: When talking to your customers, what are the key integration drivers from their perspective, and how is IBM delivering on each of them?
Swainson: Integration is a must, but the integration priorities of customers are unique depending on the size of the business, the industry they compete in, the customer's long-term goals, and the customer's technology capability. There are a couple of key themes that rise to the top. Customers want to link different areas of their business with those of their clients and partners, and they want to leverage as much of their existing infrastructure as possible.
We help them get there with IBM's open, standards-based approach to integration, with WebSphere. We enable customers to automate the flow of information and process transactions to help them become more agile and responsive. We use horizontal end-to-end integration to leverage existing investments to increase business flexibility and efficiency and drive ROI. IBM can tailor integration solutions to best suit the needs and priorities of any customer, no matter the industry. IBM offers 63 industry-tailored software solutions spanning 12 industries. And every one of those 63 solutions is based on WebSphere.
Jeremy Geelan: How about the breakdown between large enterprises and SMBs - where does IBM see the most growth? What kind of things are you doing for the SMB space?
Swainson: The SMB marketplace represents a big opportunity for top line revenue growth for IBM. According to AMI-Partners, the overall market opportunity for SMBs last year was $300 billion, and it is the fastest-growing segment of the IT market - growing faster than the IT market as a whole. SMB is also the fastest-growing market segment for IBM. We just announced a strong start to this year with first quarter SMB growth at 15% year to year - thanks in large part to a partner ecosystem that delivers more than half of IBM's total SMB revenue. Local and regional ISVs represent a cornerstone of IBM's SMB strategy - more than half of all mid-sized customer IT investments are based on the application decision.
Also, while SMBs may not have the size, global reach, and revenues of larger organizations, they still have the desire to have a successful, profitable, and growing business. IBM's Express portfolio of middleware, hardware, services, and financing is a comprehensive suite of offerings built from the ground up for SMB customers and priced with their needs in mind.
Jeremy Geelan: Jonathan Schwartz went on record in JDJ as saying "middleware is history." Clearly that wasn't meant literally, but he was saying that end-to-end "systems" will supplant it as a focus. Is the IBM view that middleware, on the contrary, is just beginning?
Swainson: Saying that middleware is "history" is laughable. IBM has tens of thousands of customers who need and use middleware for transactions, data management, development tools, systems management, security, and collaboration in a heterogeneous systems environment. The WebSphere platform experienced 12% revenue growth in 2003 over the previous year. The WebSphere platform grew 24% in 1Q04, marking its twenty-second consecutive quarter of revenue growth
Jeremy Geelan: Scott McNealy once said "We're down to three - IBM, Microsoft, and Sun." Does the recent Microsoft-Sun pact change anything as far as IBM is concerned?
Swainson: Sun is a distant fourth or fifth in middleware market share, depending on which study you're looking at. We haven't heard much about what the deal really means for Sun, Microsoft, and the future of Java, but we haven't heard that Sun is backing away from Java either. I expect that Microsoft will continue to try to convince people to move from Java to their proprietary language environment, and I expect that Sun will continue to strongly support Java.
Jeremy Geelan: Some of IBM's moves in the Java space appear to be moving away from Sun - Eclipse tooling rather than NetBeans, SWT instead of Swing, and now a new virtual machine. From one perspective it looks like IBM is trying to break away from having any licensed Sun code in its product offerings. Is this the end game?
Swainson: IBM created Eclipse because there was no industry standard for building and integrating application development tools. We see Eclipse as very supportive of Java, and it has made a large contribution to Java's success in the marketplace - and with more than 18 million downloads, it is by far the most widely adopted Java development environment. Interestingly, it is also being broadly used in non-Java environments as well, with a great deal of activity in the community now to build C and C++ tools based on Eclipse.
SWT was developed because many of our customers demanded user experiences that the Java Swing code couldn't provide. The whole notion behind Swing is to have a consistent UI model across clients; SWT, on the other hand, allows people to build UIs that are deeply integrated with the look and feel of the host platform. So you can build Windows applications with that look and feel that fully integrate into the Windows desktop, and the same goes with Linux and pervasive platforms. Having said that, Swing is part of the Java standard, and IBM delivers more products using Swing technology than anyone else in the industry.
Jeremy Geelan: Scott McNealy told IBM to stop pushing him to open source Java until you do the same with DB2. If Java is not open sourced, how does this affect IBM's licenses with Sun in the future? How serious was the call to Sun to collaborate with you on an open source implementation of Java?
Swainson: We have been stating for years that we'd like Sun to make Java a true open standard, and we remain optimistic. IBM's long-standing support for open source is based on our conviction that openness creates new opportunities and spurs innovation. Open source also gives customers choice and helps them meet their IT needs more quickly and effectively. An open source Java platform would be good for the industry, good for customers, and good for Java.
Jeremy Geelan: What major product announcements is IBM likely to make this summer, or should we be waiting for the fall for the next big additions?
Swainson: Later this year we'll be announcing the next generation of WebSphere Application Server, Version 6. It will be the foundation for IBM's on demand operating environment and will advance IBM's leadership in things like grid and autonomic computing, security, systems management, application development, and SOAs. We'll also begin rolling out software that will closely integrate IBM's market-leading WebSphere MQ messaging software with high-level integration to form a single Enterprise Service Bus infrastructure.
All these products are part of IBM's effort to help customers compete more effectively in the marketplace. We will continue to help customers solve pain points, such as integrating far-flung silos of information across the enterprise and with trading partners. And we will continue to deliver on IBM's on demand vision through industry leadership in open standards, ongoing investment in research and software development, strategic acquisitions of companies like Rational and, more recently, Trigo and Candle, and our unmatched portfolio of software, hardware, services and financing. That's how we are making on demand a reality for our customers.

You have a fact backwards. One place you say (webLogic BEA product) has 37% according to Gartner but IBMer says last year''s Gartner report put IBM at 37% (Websphere). Which was it last year? I think IBM had lead. Would like to know this year''s numbers.

According to a recent Barron''s article, IBM''s software unit did not receive any bonuses as a result of their poor performance over the past year and only grew about 1%, primarily from growth in the Rational software division. Also who has a WSJ subscription can read the follwing article, very interesting: http://online.wsj.com/barrons/article/0,,SB107671594816229855-search,00 Extracts: "...IBM''s software execs were shut out of a portion of their 2003 bonuses because of lackluster sales growth. Smith Barney software analyst Tom Berquist, who tracks IBM''s software performance relative to the companies he covers, estimates that Big Blue''s software sales grew only 1% after accounting for foreign-exchange gains. And he agreed with us that the bulk of that came from IBM''s Rational software outfit, which it acquired in 2003..." "...Berquist points out that IBM reported that WebSphere, which competes directly with BEA Systems'' WebLogic software, was up 10% for the fourth quarter. But a closer look at the numbers, Berquist says, indicates little change from previous quarters wherever the two companies compete head-to-head.
"IBM in most cases bundles software with mainframe sales, [and thus] it is likely that most -- if not all -- of WebSphere''s growth is on the mainframe side," Berquist notes. ..."
Not to mention the fact that many sales and managers of the software division from IBM left...

Few years back when IBM first started looking into Linux as the means of support for mainframes and later zSeries they picked four Linux developers: Red Hat, SuSE, Turbolinux, and believe it or not Caldera. Out of those Caldera was out and behind in development, so they were counted out. Turbo and SuSE were the strongest and delivered timely products for S/390, AS400, RS6000. But Turbo had to close its US operations and laid off its staff in South San Francisco in July 2001 and 2002. So, naturally only SuSE and RH remained. But RH was far behind in development of mainframe products as compared to SuSE and Turbo, simply put Red Hat was not even a player among mainframe community who were already well versed with SuSE and Turbo. In other words when Investing $50M in Novell/SUSE, IBM just naturally picked the best out there for their mainframes, that's all it is to it, they rewarded SuSE, because they got most consistent and best software development from them.
|barthrh2 11/23/04 05:23:46 PM EST
In December 2000 IBM committed to invest $1Billion in Linux software, hardware, services, the open source community and partnerships during 2001. That's only 2001! If anything, they have only increase their rate of investment.
|slackr 11/23/04 05:23:03 PM EST
IBM is huge. They retooled as a consulting company so they deliver "solutions" more than hardware, and that is why they've been big on Linux. Basically, there are a ton of little Linux consultants out there but for top-tier corporations you would only hire a company of large standing. IBM is really the only player in this type of (growing) Linux market (although Sun is moving in that direction, but my boss thinks that Big Blue will want to buy them out.)
|sofist 11/23/04 05:22:08 PM EST
IBM is not stupid. They do not want to create another Microsoft. They are going to play on two horses, one being Red Hat and the other SUSE/Novell. This makes room for IBM to make A LOT of money by selling hardware. Don't worry, in five years, there will still be Red Hat *and* SUSE - both having around 30% of the market. IBM will make it so.
