There are some events in the news that are easy to track and follow what's going on, for example, the NBA playoffs, or The Voice.
And then there are the debates in Washington. By the time the legislative maneuvering is underway and the rhetoric is streaming from both sides, it can be hard to figure out what's happening, why it's happening, who benefits from what's happening, and whether what's happening will be of any use.
But here's one thing that should be clear to all of us: immigration reform will save us all money. Let me repeat that: immigration reform will save us all money.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's plan to restructure the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) would take giant steps forward in improving the quality of life for every Long Islander.
Every minute, of every hour, of every day, Americans enjoy the blessings of a peace-loving nation; blessings protected by the selfless service of men and women in uniform who, when necessary, stand fast against the forces of fear, tyranny and terrorism. For more than two centuries untold numbers of Americans have answered the call to duty.
This May marks the 50th anniversary of Older Americans' Month. It recognizes the valuable contributions senior citizens make to our communities. With so many older Americans under economic assault, we need to take action so this anniversary is more than just another 'Hallmark' holiday.
Thank you, Pete Sheehan, for the excellent in-depth article on the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. You helped put a "face" to the poor and "make it personal." It was my pleasure to speak with you. God bless.

Annually, the country celebrates National Teacher Appreciation Day on May 7th. It's a nice reminder to acknowledge the positive impact teachers have on our children. Clearly, in this era of high stakes testing and accountability, it's even more important to have quality teachers who work well with students in and out of the classroom.
The old saying, "Busy as a Bee" comes from the fact that bees pollinate at least 70% of our crops, which is 1 out of 3 bites of food that we eat - encompassing at least 95 varieties of crops.
The world's bees are in jeopardy of extinction. Bees have been dying off in droves since the mid 1990s. This disaster began in France and kept spreading throughout the world, hitting the U.S. in 2006. It was given a name – colony collapse disorder, or CCD. Much has been made over the so-called mystery surrounding CCD.
This week our high school students take their Advanced Placement exams. It won't be long before middle and high school final and Regents exams begin. Although many people stay up late in an effort to study, cramming is not an effective way to prepare for these summative assessments.
With the weather warming up, we find summertime is on the horizon. As most parents understand, summer is a wonderful time for students to relax and recharge for another school year. Unfortunately, the summer vacation has been known to erode many of the skills and concepts learned during the school year.
In this era of high stakes testing and student performance, it is important to begin planning a summer reading regiment for your child.
Our lives changed on Jan. 9 forever. We awoke to the high-pitched shrill of smoke alarms and a house filled with smoke and flames. Thank God for the quick response of my husband Robert we just got out of the house in time.
It is very hard to lose your home and all your possessions. It is very overwhelmingly.
We were deeply touched by the response of our Island Trees and Levittown community, especially Island Trees MIddle School, Mrs. Previdi's class, Principal Dr. Roger Bloom, and staff and all organizations who had fundraisers for our family.

SC Gov. Appoints Rep. Tim Scott To Fill Senate Seat
With South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint announcing he will be leaving office in January to take over as the President of the Heritage Foundation, Governor Nikki Haley has the task of tapping his replacement – and she's chosen to make history with her pick.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern reports from Washington:
Audio clip:
The Republican Governor says freshman Congressman Tim Scott has earned a spot in the Senate.
(Haley) "He earned this seat for the results he has shown. He earned this seat for what I know he is going to do."
During his first term in Congress, Scott has positioned himself as a Tea Party favorite.
(Scott) "I learned early in my 20's, that if you have a problem with spending, there's not enough revenue to make up for it."
Scott will become the first African-American Republican in the Senate since the 1970's and the first from the South since reconstruction.
In Washington, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.

Really Recommend This!If you're a fan of the paranormal animes, you'd love this! I first saw the review for this anime in Otaku USA magazine, and it just caught my eye. The one thing I absolutely LOVE about this anime is the use of colors- I know, it sounds weird, but it's really awesome! The sky is always an abnormal sunset, it's both really dark but has pops of color- it just sets the mood for paranormal. It's funny, ...Read more

Seriously, there are only a few of these types of anime out there. For one, if you've ever watched Spice and wolf, you're going to very much enjoy this. I'm still in shock about how much this affected me. I'm so sad that there isn't a 2nd season!

A much better love story than twilight.An intriguing mixture of romance, comedy, and some more extreme themes ( I use the term extreme gently as I am not sure how to exactly describe them :3 ).

Getting an Early Start
The first few years of a child's life are crucial years for learning and growing. Children at risk of a developmental delay or who have difficulties meeting significant milestones are often referred to Early Intervention for evaluation and services. Early detection and treatment are critical to the growth and well-being of all children, whether they have developmental delays or more complex medical needs. Early Intervention can be integral in helping pre-term babies grow, thrive, and meet their developmental milestones, and can produce substantial gains in physical, adaptive, cognitive, language and speech development and social emotional skills.
The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a public program for children under the age of three who are either suspected of having or at risk for developmental delays or disabilities. EIP is funded by New York State and county governments. Potentially eligible children must be referred to the Growing Up Healthy Hotline at 800-522-5006 or the program in the county where they reside. All EIP services are provided at no cost to parents. Health insurance may be used for approved services. When EI services are delivered in child care settings or community locations that require a fee, the parent is responsible for paying any costs associated with such settings or locations. A child's eligibility for the program can be determined only by state-approved evaluators under contract. If eligible, the municipality will arrange for service providers to deliver authorized services. All services are identified with the parent and authorized by the county.
St. Mary's Hospital for Children is a NYS approved provider of EI evaluations and services and is under contract with NYS and the following municipalities: NYC, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester.
To make a referral to Early Intervention, please contact the municipality in which you live:
- Nassu: 516-227-8661
- Suffolk: 631-853-2318
- Westchester: 914-813-5094
Hear from the Experts
Learn all about the Early Intervention Program in New York from Dawn Oakley, St. Mary's Director of Rehabilitation and Early Intervention.
St. Mary's EI Program is one of the largest in New York, serving thousands of children each day throughout the metro area. We help children of all abilities — from those in need of developmental assistance to the most medically complex – reach their full potential and achieve an improved quality of life.

Ex-heroin addict says 'God had a plan for me'
Susan Lazaruk , The ProvincePublished: Sunday, April 25, 2004
By all rights, Rodney Fregin should be dead.
It could have happened when, as a 12-year-old, he began shooting up with heroin he stole from his father and his uncle, both drug dealers.
It might have happened when he started robbing banks at 17, armed with a loaded gun and helpful instructions from adult cellmates on how to plan a robbery.
It should have happened when, after serving 14 years in a federal penitentiary for 11 armed robberies, he returned to Main and Hastings at age 42 for a four-month binge of heroin, pills and alcohol. It ended with Fregin attempting suicide by injecting himself with enough heroin to kill four people.
"I woke up with the syringe still in my arm. To this day, I don't know how I didn't [die]," says the man who is now healthy, 62 and winner of the Courage to Come Back Award for overcoming a chemical dependence.
Fregin, along with five other recipients in various categories, will be given the awards by the Coast Mental Health Foundation at a gala dinner Thursday.
"I thought, 'God, I'm such a loser, I can't even kill myself,'" Fregin recalls of the day he wanted to take his life to end his profound loneliness.
From the East Hastings room he awoke in, Fregin could see the Salvation Army's Harbour Light rehab centre. He says it triggered in him a memory of how Sally Ann staff had handed out goody bags in jail -- along with offers of help if he ever needed it.
And 30 years after he first shot up, he checked himself into detox -- ending a habit of 10 to 15 flaps of heroin a day, worth some $700 to $800 at today's prices.
A counsellor offered him a stay at Miracle Valley addiction treatment centre in Mission, describing a pastoral outdoor setting. "I thought, 'Great, I could go there for a few months and get healthy and then really party,'" Fregin says. He ended up staying a year in a place where the average stay is three to four months.
Initially, Fregin sat in the back at meetings, yelling rude comments with the others at the back, some of whom he knew from his prison days. He still smoked pot and drank on weekends. But then he noticed that the hard core addicts sitting at the front were changing. Gradually, he joined them, began to pay attention and, eventually, committed his life to God.
"I still struggled," he admits. "I was attending the treatment centre, but I had cravings still."
Through the centre, he trained to become a drug counsellor and worked at that for three years.
"But I started getting cocky and I had a slip," he recalls. "For three days, I used heroin."
To remove him from temptation, the Salvation Army transferred him to Winnipeg, which unwittingly violated his parole. A nationwide warrant was issued and a ticket for a broken taillight on the way home from a prayer meeting landed him in jail for another year.
He was tested by his old jail buddies, who expected him to deal drugs as he did years before. Instead, he stayed clean and returned to Vancouver in 1992. He renewed a budding romance with Yvonne, a church worker he is now married to.
Fregin stayed off drugs -- even after losing three promising jobs in a year when criminal checks revealed his jail record. He eventually got a job washing cars for minimum wage and went on to become supervisor to 30 employees. When the car wash shut down, he returned to school in his late 40s for a counselling certificate.
One morning, he awoke unable to move. He had a stroke that paralyzed his left side and learned he was diabetic.
Now 15 years clean, he works helping troubled youth at his church, the Coquitlam Alliance, and through Aunt Leah's Independent Lifeskills Society, which helps young people develop skills to work in restaurants.
He speaks fondly of those he's able to help -- and those he isn't -- and knows he can make a difference in the lives of alcoholics and addicts simply by sharing his story.
"I never tell them 'Don't do drugs,'" he says. "I tell them I used to do heroin and this is how my life went. I tell them how I got myself out."
Fregin insists he doesn't take credit for reversing his downslide. "It was God that got me through this. Every time I tried to change myself, it didn't work," he says. "I really believe that God had a plan for me."
Recalling how he became jittery watching a recent TV news report showing bags of heroin -- even after his years of clean time -- Fregin offers a final word of advice.
"It's not an instant change," he cautions. "It continues for your whole life."

"The new solution really cuts down dramatically the time and effort needed for the budgeting process. Along with BlueLink in Association with EBLA computer consultancy who worked as partners in this project, we've taken a considerable time to make sure that the new system will cater for every aspect of the process ensuring the integrity and the smoothness of it."
Qusai Al-Shatti, General Manager, Central Authority for Information Technology (CAIT), State of Kuwait
For the Central Authority for Information Technology (CAIT), handling and managing the thousands of documents sent every year by other agencies relating to their budget requirements was not an easy task. CAIT needed a new budgeting system that would enable government agencies to submit their budgetary needs electronically via an online portal. By using the features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and a third-party budgeting system, the agency dramatically shortened the processing time as well as providing a powerful collaboration tool to other agencies.
Business Needs
As the governmental agency responsible for helping other agencies and ministries set their IT budgets for the next fiscal year as well as approving change requests and extra financing, the Central Authority for Information Technology (CAIT) of the State of Kuwait faced a major challenge in meeting this need. Previously, CAIT would be overwhelmed by thousands of papers received from every governmental organization. Because most of these documents were in paper form, all the information had to be consolidated and verified. This process required a lot of manpower and took months to complete. Following the agency's "Kuwait IT Five-Year Plan," CAIT needed a budgeting solution that would:
automate the submission of all documents to the agency
dramatically reduce the consolidation and verification time
deliver a consistent and reliable experience to all ministries and agencies regarding their requests
CAIT then issued an RFP inviting companies to submit their offers in implementing a software solution that will help the agency automate their processes as well as streamline the communication between CAIT and the other Government Agencies in the State of Kuwait.
After a thorough review, CAIT deployed Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and G2GxRM, a third-party budgeting solution.
"The new solution really cuts down dramatically the time and effort needed for the budgeting process. Along with BlueLink in Association with EBLA computer consultancy who worked as partners in this project, we've taken a considerable time to make sure that the new system will cater for every aspect of the process ensuring the integrity and the smoothness of it," says Qusai Al-Shatti, General Manager of CAIT.
Some of the features of the solution included:
electronic submission of all documents
an automated end-to-end budgeting and approval process
enhanced collaboration and communication tools
easier and simpler way for agencies to submit their budget requests
paper-free environment
improved collaboration between CAIT and other governmental agencies
dramatic reduction of the budget and approval process
allows the respective agencies to refine and optimize their IT spending
minimize CAIT's need for resources to handle budget requests
allows the government to track its IT assets
powerful analytics due to a business intelligence platform

The e-commerce boom is providing a surge of opportunity amid the "anemic" expansion of U.S. distribution space, said IMS Worldwide President Curtis Spencer.
"E-commerce is on everybody's radar because it's growing like a flipping weed," Spencer told attendees of the Journal of Commerce's Inland Port Logistics Conference on Thursday. He said online retailing — available through computers, mobile devices and social networks — is outpacing traditional bricks-and-mortar retail sales growth 5-to-1.
One of the biggest drivers of e-commerce distribution space growth appears be coming from traditional retailers looking to compete with the likes of Amazon. The share of e-commerce of total global retail sales is expected to expand to roughly 30 percent by 2025, translating to $2.7 trillion in annual sales, according to Dematic figures quoted by Spencer. U.S. online retail sales rose 16.1 percent to $194.3 billion, accounting for about 4.6 percent of total sales, according to the Commerce Department.
Online shoppers have come to expect next-day delivery and free shipping because both are offered by Amazon, and that "scares (traditional retailers) to death," said Blaine Kelley, senior vice president at CBRE. The threat appears to be spurring retailers to consolidate their supply chains so that their distribution centers, and even their retail stores, can handle e-commerce fulfillment.
Sears, for instance, used to believe distribution for retail stores and online sales should be kept separate. But now the company is pushing more e-commerce goods through its traditional distribution network and fulfilling orders at the stores themselves, said Jeff Starecheski, the company's vice president of logistics services.
Aside from transportation costs, the quality and availability of labor is the second biggest factor determining where shippers set up their e-commerce hubs. He pointed to how accessing a full-time skilled work force, along with plentiful part-time workers for shipping surges, spurred Carter's, maker of OshKosh B' Gosh brands, to open a 1 million-square-foot center facility in the Atlanta area.
"It's one thing to say we have done our homework on the labor market," Kelley told attendees of the Oakbrook, Ill., conference," Kelley said. "It's another thing to say we are confident we can hire 1,600 people."
E-commerce distribution requires more skilled labor, such as material handlers and pick-and-pack operators, than traditional manufacturing largely because facilities utilize more technology. Data mapping and then following up with in-person interviews led CBRE to tap Braselton, Ga., as the best spot. The University of Georgia is roughly 30 miles away, allowing the facility to tap part-time college help during peak shipping seasons.
The facility, which opened July, receives about 90 percent of its inbound goods through the Port of Los Angeles and the remaining from the Port of Savannah, Kelley said. The large market share from the West Coast despite the facility being in the Southeast speaks to the success of BNSF Railway's line connecting to CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway lines in Birmingham, Ala.
CBRE said it saved the retailer more than $17 million by finding a site that provided a sales tax exemption on equipment purchases, job tax credits and other incentives. The site is also within a Foreign Trade Zone, a crucial components for attracting e-commerce fulfillment centers, Kelley said.
Other major factors that attracts retailers to open e-commerce facilities are an exemption to online sales taxes, a right-to-work atmosphere, access to FedEx and UPS air and ground freight hubs and zone skipping, Spencer said. The latter allows shipper to use less-than-truckload carriers for part of the haul and then have a parcel carrier handle transport the rest of the way.

Customers will notice higher sales tax beginning on Thursday when they shop in Wood County. That's because the County's new half percent sales tax kicks in on January 1st.
The 0.5% tax is projected to raise $ 6.8 Million in Wood County in 2004.
The County Finance Director says half of that will provide direct property tax relief and the other 3.4 Million will go to fund programs that otherwise faced cuts.

Not sure about the distinction between carts and trolleys. I call them 'carts', and I get the nice tall ones that are convenient to lean on as I shop, even if I could put all my items in the little basket where other shoppers might seat a toddler. Some stores may have littler carts, but they look to me more like a toy to give a small child who wants to 'help' with shopping. At any rate, their handles are too low for comfort for me. Doesn't matter if you had a dozen of the biggest items the store sells, this woman was out of control in chastising you for using the 12-and-under aisle.
I would have quietly asked the cashier to call a manager, and told the manager that I found the woman's behavior threatening and wanted an escort to my car. There's no reason that you should have been subjected to such bizarre, off the wall behavior!
I use a shopping cart on every trip to the grocery store. It makes no difference if I'm buying one item or one hundred items, I always get a cart. That woman was determined to be mad and your cart looked full because of large items. She was rude and you were right to ignore her.

Creating a template on the new Email Designer
Creating a beautiful and engaging email has never been easier with ActiveCampaign's email designer. We use the latest technologies and conventions to make designing and creating templates as easy as possible. This is part of our ongoing effort to make email marketing easy.
This guide will teach you the basics of creating a template with our email designer. We will first teach you the elements of each template. After that, we will walk you through the template creation process.
Key Terms
Style Regions
These would be the areas on your template where users can change style elements such as background color, font family, font color, and link color.
*** You would need to add data-style-region="Header" to whatever region you want to define. For example, if you want to define a style region for a whole table, you can add it within the opening table tag:

The name you sue for your Style Region will show up when someone uses your template when creating a campaign (as shown on the previous screenshot).
Editable Regions
These would be the areas on your template were content will be placed. You can think of these as empty containers. The general rule is to use the least amount of editable regions as possible.
*** There are two elements of an editable region. Both are needed when defining an editable region
a. Container = is an id of sorts
b. Label = is used for mapping
The HTML code for an editable region will look something like this:

Content Blocks
These go inside the editable regions. You actually do not add this to the code. You can add as many content blocks as you want within an editable region. There are 7 content types that you can use. Each will be explained below.
Content Types
- Header – These are written as either h1, h2, or h3. You can use these for your company name, article titles, etc.
- Paragraph – You can use this for your articles. You can use a combination of photos and text.
- Picture – This is a content type you use if you want users to use only a single image.
- Gallery – Use this type to display multiple images.
- Ecommerce – You can connect your ecommerce account to pull information about your products. Currently, only Shopify can be used.
- Video – Create a screen capture of your Youtube and Vimeo videos. The screencap will automatically be linked to the video.
- RSS – You can add an RSS feed URL to your emauil using this content type. The latest feed(s) will be pulled from the URL you provided.
Creating a Designer Template
1. To start creating a Designer Template, go to Campaigns –> Email Templates and click the Add button on the bottom of the page. Choose the Designer Template type.
Creating Themes for your Templates (Applying Styles)
In addition to creating the actual structure of the template, you are also able to create different themes for your templates. Themes allow you to provide different color schemes for your templates. "Theme-ing" on the Template editor is easy, using CSS.
1. To add a theme, click on the style options button.
2. Each content has a default class. When theme-ing, you can use these classes. You can find the class by clicking on the content. Below, we clicked within the first paragraph. The class will be displayed on the bottom of the browser.
2. To use the class on your theme, you can click on copy or insert. If you click insert, the class will be added at the end of your CSS (in your theme box).
3. You can now apply any styles you want to that class. Here we applied CSS to our paragraph.
4. You can also use CSS on the HTML code. You do this if you need to apply styles that you need "globally." You can also add media query code on the HTML code. Please note that we add a lot of media query on your templates. However, you can add extra code to fine tune your template.
Below, we have both a CSS that we need globally and media query that we added on the head part of the HTML code.
More questions?

University of Koblenz-Landau
Welcome to the University of Koblenz-Landau
The University of Koblenz-Landau is one of the youngest universities in Germany and has in its short history expanded immensely. Since its transformation from a teachers college in 1990, new departments and institutes have sprung up, new degrees and chairs created and existing courses and research expanded. The scientific profile shows a wide variety: in eight faculties on the two campuses Koblenz and Landau, you can study Educational Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Informatics (only Koblenz) and Psychology (only Landau).

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey scored first-period goals, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night in the NHL's first warm-weather outdoor game.
Jonas Hiller made 36 saves in his 20th career shutout as the league-leading Ducks dominated the landmark meeting of Southern California's two hockey teams under the stars in Chavez Ravine. Andrew Cogliano added an empty-net goal with 1:29 left to close this unusual chapter in the NHL's expanded slate of outdoor games.
The league threw a California carnival for the event, filling left field with a beach volleyball court and right field with a fireworks-laden stage where Kiss performed. People in shorts and tank tops played Frisbee and practiced yoga between periods while skateboarders rolled past a ball hockey court featuring youth teams.

Anti-harassment Policy for Open Source Conferences
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Valerie Aurora wrote an excellent article for lwn.net, The Dark Side of Open Source Conferences. Currently, the article is only available to lwn.net subscribers, but you can write to Valerie to get the link, or wait until the post is publicly available in a few days.
In her article, Valerie talks about the bad experiences several women have had at open source events over the years, and she discusses the recently created generic anti-harassment policy for open source conferences. "Judging from the past ten years of my experience, harassment at open source conferences is not going to stop all by itself. We have to take action," she says.
Valerie says that she decides which events to attend based on the reputation of the event organizers, feedback from friends, and any personal experiences she's had with the events. "For example, anything run by the Linux Foundation will be extremely professional, respectful of women, and rank high on the getting-stuff-done factor" she says. I agree with her take on Linux Foundation events, and I'll add that Linux Foundation event organizers make extra efforts to foster a professional, friendly, diverse, and productive environment.
If you'd like your favorite open source event to adopt an anti-harassment policy, check out the list of events and email addresses provided in a Geek Feminism blog post, Get your conference conference anti-harassment policy here!

The scientific methodI heard about a research that was done a while ago involving lab mice.
They herded a large bunch of male mice in one cage for several years, having no contact with females and naturally, no mating.
Then they introduced two females to the cage.
The results were surprising:
40% clamored around the females flaunting and fighting, that was fairly expected.
What was not expected was:
30% completely ignored the females and were busy participating in something that seemed like role playing, 10% went insane
9.9% were annoyed of the females taking the concentration of the majority from the important matters at hand

According to patrol reports, Kristine M. Chudey, 22, of Oregon was driving a 2003 Honda Accord eastbound on Central Avenue when she struck Donald Pack, 83, of Toledo, who was walking southbound across Central Avenue.
Pack, who was wearing dark clothing and a red safety light, was treated by Lucas County Life Squad and transported to Toledo Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Chudey who was wearing her seatbelt was not injured and declined treatment.
According to Patrol reports, alcohol and drug use do not appear to be a factor in the crash, however, reduced visibility from moderate rain combined with dark clothing were contributing factors.
The workshops, offered in collaboration with United North and the East Toledo Family Center, will be offered locally Oct. 23 and Oct. 25 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave. in Toledo. Space is limited. Registration is required.

I wonder what would've come of Sun if Schwartz hadn't focused so hard on the software assets Oracle now appears most interested in… even changing the ticker symbol to "JAVA" seems prescient, given Ellison's comments. Where does he go next, is he a part of the combined companies?
As a Sun vet, I think Oracle is certainly a better fit than IBM. And a sale gives the company an opportunity to clean house at the highest levels, which is where I think the company's problems have come from for nearly ten years now.
One can only hope that the conditions for sale include the removal of everyone at the VP level and above. Sun needs visionaries like Bill and Andy to run the company (division?) and keep innovating. Sun still has a deep talent pool; it's up to Oracle to keep them in place and encourage solid engineering and innovation.
The Pony Tail should be blamed for selling out. He totally mismanaged Sun's SPARC worktations, they could've been a multi billion dollar business if he'd focused on execution instead of all this free software garbage. IBM cleaned his clock with their hardware business, just look at their numbers.
" let me assure you they are single minded in their focus on the one asset that doesn't appear in our financial statements: our people. That's their highest priority – creating an inviting and compelling environment in which our brightest minds can continue to invent and deliver the future."
Some of you might keep your jobs, but some of you won't. We know attrition will happen, but we want to try to stem the flow of people leaving Sun of their own volition, before Oracle has the chance to say whether you can keep your job or not.
One can only hope and pray that Schwartz has absolutely nothing to do with the combined organization. In fact, one hopes that he takes the $30M+ change of ownership payout he got, and leaves the industry forever. He mismanaged every division of Sun into the ground, oversaw a politicization that saw the best and brightest already gone, has cut support and services to the point where customers have no confidence in it, and left customers asking where promised products like Rock are and what direction is Sun actually going.
Regardless, this will only accelerate the migration away from Solaris, purely from the expected "Oracle Integration Tax" otherwise known as a typical 40% hike on service contracts. With needing to keep it to maintain a new hardware business, and being allergic to the low margins of hardware, I think existing Sun customers can expect their service and support budgets to be much, much tighter next renewal.
There will be blood
Ya right ! – People – Oracle will cut people left-right-and-center. The bottom line is $$$$.
The executives will get fat-packages but the low-end employees will get the crumbs.
Let's be clear – companies always say that their people are their greatest asset. However, we always see that the people are the first asset that companies will dispose of to save money. They don't sell intellectual property assets, they don't sell financial assets, they don't sell real estate or other tangible (non-living) assets. The first asset they dump is the people.
Companies say that people are their greatest asset – but they only say it to those people to keep them from jumping ship. If you work for Sun (or Oracle for that matter) and you assume you are indispensable or irreplaceable then you are either very naive or have an ego bigger than Mr. Ellison's.
The purchase of StorageTec was a classic blunder. I can't understand how such brillant leaders couldn't see the technology was actiquated.
The Sun is setting. Sad. I was very happy to work for such a company as Sun and was sad to leave. Even sadder to see it set. If I were still there, Jonathan's e-mail would have done nothing to calm any fears that I had. Some how Sun lost it's way.
What is to become of MySQL now that Oracle has Sun?
Schwartz can add "unethical, hypocritical liar" to his resume, right next to "incredibly incompetent executive".
Recently he told Sun employees that there were no plans to sell Sun or in any way parts out the company. He said Sun's focus and priority was on building shareholder value. Shareholder value?
Assuming the Oracle acquisition happens at $9.50/share, Sun will have lost about 62% of the value it had when he became CEO. If you count the fact that Sun was trading at $3.50/share before news of Sun's fire-sale, it had lost 86% of its value.
And Schwartz will make $ millions on the sale to Oracle.
Maybe "criminal" should be added to his resume as well.
"Having spent a considerable amount of time talking to Oracle, let me assure you they are single minded in their focus on the one asset that doesn't appear in our financial statements: our people."
Talk to anyone who was at BEA and ask them if this is true. Not to mention PeopleSoft.
Yes, I believe in Pony Tail.
I can see fairs too.
Wow any competent leader should know that messages that starts with "This is one of the toughest emails I've ever had to write" can only be bad news. Good news is easy to write. No wonder the sunset.
Jonathan who?
Sun was once a great company. I can't believe it is over, but it is. I still work there (for now). From an inside perspective – people are in shock.
And I do not believe the whole "people are our greatest asset". Yeah, right. There will be cuts, and it will
be bloody. It's been rolling RIF's for years now, and now we will get a tidal wave. I just hope most of the fat cats at the VP level are cut. Out with them: they got us here.
Hopefully the layer of engineers pretending to know how to manage will disappear. There's a shocking number of Vice Presidents, Directors and Managers who are more focused on code level details (what the engineers should be doing) than ensuring the products that get delivered target the right market.
A clean sweep of all the VP layer and above at Sun, to get rid of all the engineering wanna-be managers and replace them with people that know how to manage would have provided Sun with a chance to get back on track. But that's not the case now… although hopefully, those managers will get swept out.
Sun's management, starting with Jonathan, did not execute. They had more than enough time and capital and smart people to get on a growth path. No excuses.
Java, Netbeans especially the wireless toolkit i love software sun has created.. but i read some where and now its true more than ever " They never recovered completely from the DotCom crash " . Hope Oracle will be considerate enough to run the great stuff SUN created.. And all the best to all the employees you guys are great..
Patricia Sueltz has the correct take. Oracle will finally put good (and yes, aggressive) management in place at Sun, which has been absent since shortly prior to the dot com boom, when the smart business people became distracted and/or left. Finally Sun will be able to exploit their incredibly rich technology. Let's hope the announcement IS the end of the road AT Sun for Jonathan Schwartz- who in my view has done nothing for the company or its shareholders.
"…creating an inviting and compelling environment in which our brightest minds can continue to invent and deliver the future" Translation: "they'll keep few of best and brightest – and the rest of you will go straight to unemployment line or wherever. "
"Thank you for everything you've done over the years…" Translation: "you've created enough value so I'll get my $30M despite total failure of my strategy and leadership – and for you – tough luck"
Problem with Sun over that last 8 years has been that it thought that it was in the business of selling ice-cream on a daily basis but unfortunately could never settle on a single flavor for any one day to feature its talents.
Literally, it could never settle on what product to sell and every day a new product emphasis was applied. Was this a result of Scott or Jonathan or both may never be known. Zander was great, lots of imagination, but he wanted to be top dog and left when he realized that he would never reach that level at Sun, i.e., Scott would never relinquish his control.
The only way that this is going to be straightened out is for the current top-level management team, including Jonathan, needs to be replaced. They are the ones that got the company in the crisis mode it is in. Keep the engineering management and bring back some of those great minds that made the company tops in the business at it height.
Not sure that many know that will all this RIF action that has been going on, the company still is nearly 40,000 strong. No longer 40K full time employees but many are now contract employees of some sort. Check out the head-count.
Sun needs to find people managment people that will finish product design and rollout, not just provide daily announcements that are no more than "paper-tigers".
"Though profit-minded Oracle…"
Maybe if Sun had been profit-minded, instead of open-sores minded, they wouldn't have died.
It's unfortunate. This 27 year old company provided a wealth of innovation. The failure and collapse of Sun is a direct reflection on Jonathan Schwartz and Scott McNealy's stewardship of the company. The past eight years have been a collection of worst-practices by any company's leadership. The disasterous reverse split of the stock was but one ill-conceived milestone along the way. Jonathan acknowledged that sophisticated stock analysts would have seen through this. In a tenure filled with simple-minded notions – the Sun stock symbol was changed from SUNW to JAVA as if this would somehow change the trajectory of the company. Jonathan's previous emails also provided a list of reasons why Sun was not immune to the economic downturn. In those reasons he cited – lack of a large global services arm and lack of consumer-oriented devices as two items. Any astute exec would have viewed these as requirements to be examined and possibly executed to protect the company's future – instead the execs continued their anti- best practices – laid off more of the skilled services engineers, provided no thought to growing a global services arm and as a final coup-de-grace they laid off the majority of customer-facing sales engineers and a large number of sales. The execs at Sun will prosper with the deal and so will Oracle. What won't prosper is Sun, many of its technologies and thousands of its engineers. Sun is now a failed company that will follow Apollo, Compaq and DEC.
What killed Sun ? The executives and the arrogance of, after having failed to properly run the company, to step aside and let a business leader run the company. To me this is the ultimate tragedy – rather than Jonathan Schwartz resigning and offering the reigns of the company to a more knowledgeable exec he and a board of directors with vested interests sold out.
While Oracle is the better of two bad endings, it is still a tragic end for those of us that invested major parts of our careers building Sun. Many of us saw this day coming shortly after Jonathan's rise to power running software. The fact that he thrived, was promoted to COO, then CEO is an enigma for the ages. The fact that he then persisted and brought down Sun lies at the feet of the board who he kept bewitched in his pocket with is silvery tongue.
Jonathan's name should be placed alongside Ken Ley. Not only has he taken 10′s of millions in compensation while driving the value out of the company he was running, he is going to take away another king's ransom for the coup de grâce.
DEAD MEAT ON A HOOK – That's what all of Sun's employees became the moment good 'ol Larry decided to buy Sun. We have a large Oracle office in this area, and the only jobs they advertise are for positions to help transition more and more American positions over to India. I've heard that over 85% of the once American filled office space have been relocated to India, and Sun employees can expect the same.
ORACLE: "We don't want no stinkin' Americans as workers…just customers."
If Mr. Schwartz gets any job where the phrase, "paper or plastic?" is not involved, he is in over his head.
Fully agree with "Bill" and "Sun Alum" above… in addition the facts are Jonathan's "leadership" and "management" were NEVER there. He is and never was a leader… and I don't know of a single person inside Sun that either liked, respected, or trusted him in any shape or form.
At this stage the US Government should create an "Incompetence Bill" where any public company over $1B revenue or 5000 employees the companies board, CEO, and direct staff reporting to the CEO should be all held to this new US Incompetence Bill. Anyone found in breach should face the same impact/punishment as the likes of Ken Lay of Enron etc!!! No one should have such a large role in any public company and be incompetent!!!
Jonathan Swartz has cost all us at a personal level. We believed in Scott and Sun going back to the start of Sun. We have all lost $100k's and more; we have all seen him refuse to listen to smarter, stronger minds in Sun which is why he got rid of each and everyone of them.
Jonathan Schwartz is a disgrace to his family and the facts are he will never own up to his blunders. I'm personally sick to see what has happened to Sun and what we all worked so hard to build. Known Scott like I do – I bet he too is sick and disgusted. It's a sad day.. but at least Oracle will build on what Sun has for now for they have operational competence – which has eluded Sun in the post .Com days.
PS Hope to see Scott end up on the board of Oracle….. he is a good guy (unlike Jonathan!!!).
Schwartz gets his $30M payday after all – thank god can you imagine if his legacy was just destroying Sun, spending $8B on acquisition which then had to be written down quarter after quarter, and one botched deal with IBM. Fortunately his poney-tailness pulled it out of the fire and can walk from his accomplishments holding his head high. Suckers – I got mine!
I was with Sun from the mid-80′s to 2000, and it was an innovative company back then. Placing Schwartz in the position of CEO was the death knell though, and the guy should be disgraced by what has happened. Sun as part of Oracle means Sun will no longer exist, and as such, goes the visionary thinking that was part of the Sun DNA under McNealy.
I am disgusted.
I watched Sun rise almost three decades ago, and now I am watching Sun set. Sun joins a long list of short lived technology companies that set out to change the world and succeeded. The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and this Sun burned brightly.
It is sad. But, don't blame Jonathan for a big payday. For those of you who are shareholders, blame the BoD — they appointed him, set his pay, and ok'd his actions. The long list of failures in execution were watched by and known to the BoD, and they stood by and did nothing to change management. When new investors arrived who WERE interested in shareholder value, the only way they saw was a sale. Too bad…really too bad.
We still have the incompetent VP's/Directors/Senior managers around. Although some strategic (Sun don't even understand the word) movements of them they are still around and will continue to be as long as the "old school" cartells are employed. It has been a case of jobs for the boys (and girls) ever since I joined Sun some 10 years ago. Even though I am far better qualified (MBA etc) I have never been able to break through from the bottom ranks of management even though rated a "1″ (High) for the past 8 years . I welcome the Oracle takeover as a lifeline to part these pariahs from the company. Jonathan Schwartz !! Pathetic leader.

Finian: America's full of gangsters, you know.
Sharon: I thought you said it was full of millionaires.
Finian: That depends on which newspaper you read.
In the old days, when you told people in other countries that you were from Chicago, they would say, "Boom-boom! Rat-a-tat-tat!"This might be considered the urban counterpart of Eagleland, the perception (more so in other countries) of American cities as crime ridden Vice Cities. This has much to do with the export of American films. Supposedly, you will find French people, for instance, believing that Chicago is still as it was when Al Capone was alive. While they all derive from the movies, most versions of Gangsterland do reflect violent periods in the history of various cities — at least if you turn your head and squint a little. New York City stand-ins will have violence courtesy of The Mafia, Chicago from the Mayor's office and Prohibition-era bootleggers, and Los Angeles from ethnic street gangs. Note that the first is organized crime, the second is corruption (and organized crime), and the third is street anarchy (though the more successful street gangsters move up into organized crime, or die trying). Compare Wretched Hive.

Ironically (conveniently?) located alongside I-95 in a strip of stores that includes three bridal shops and Scarlett's strip club, from the outside, Spice of Life Novelties is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of place. But inside, it's an emporium of sexual delights worthy of late-night Amsterdam. The front section of the store holds an array of Spencer Gifts-style trinkets -- dirty greeting cards, Hop-a-Long Peters, boob sippy cups, that sort of thing. But as you wander deeper into the store, the merchandise gets more risqué. In the costume section, it all seems kind of cute at first: French maid uniforms, modified military get-ups, and tiger-striped cat suits. But before you know it, your fingers are dancing across racks of strap-on-ready unitards and dominatrix uniforms complete with cat-o'-nine-tails and whips. It's a fetish paradise. Emboldened by all that you've seen, you mount (tee hee hee) the stairs, at the top of which you find thousands of vibrators, butt plugs, and anal probes. Synthetic vaginas vie for your attention. Penis pumps, make-your-own-dildo kits, double dongs, ben wah balls, and flavored body spreads sit in boxes bearing boastful statements like "With Real Hair" and "Feels Like Real Skin." It's enough to transform a plain, vanilla orgy into one with lots of batteries and a few guys in priest frocks. Or enough for wayward brides and strippers to, well, spice up their lives.

Punta Mita Condo Rental Photos and Description
4 bedroom, 4.5 bathrooms, sleeps 8
A five star vacation in the only ocean front condominium development inside the luxury resort of Punta Mita! You will enjoy our Premier club membership to the resort ranked #1 in the world by Conde Nast, Four Seasons Tennis Club, Four Seasons and St. Regis restaurants, and our own Residents Beach Club--complete with a full service restaurant, kids pool and play area, kayaks and hammocks to watch the gorgeous sunset.
You can choose to relax with customized spa treatments or enjoy an ocean front massage. Our concierge will arrange everything for you, including daily housekeeping, private chef, customized activities, babysitting, and will even stock the kitchen with your favorite groceries before you arrive. Your relaxing and luxurious vacation will begin the moment you step inside the door.
Exclusive privileges you will enjoy in our condo: Only guests renting from homeowners inside the gate of Punta Mita Resort can access the world famous Punta Mita Resort amenities such as the Four Seasons Jack Nicklaus golf courses, Four Seasons Tennis Club, and the ultra exclusive Punta Mita Resident's Beach Club with its Kids Club, Spa and restaurants. These incredible amenities have enabled the Punta Mita Resort to become widely known as the finest resort in all of Mexico; voted by Conde Nast as the #1 Golf Resort in the World.
At this luxury rental, you will enjoy all the extras you expect from a five star resort, such as a private concierge to make your dream vacation come true, from tee times to massage appointments, private sailboat trips, spa services en suite or on the beach, childcare, transportation, tours, baby sea turtle releases, whale watching trips, etc. You will also enjoy the luxuriously appointed condo, with its top of the line appliances like Viking and Subzero, large jetted soaking tubs, and wi-fi.

Though many owners of condos outside the gate of Punta Mita, in the area known as Punta de Mita, El Anclote, and Emiliano Zapato will advertise as if you will have access to these amenities, the fact is that you will only be allowed access to these private clubs if you are renting or own a home inside the gated community of Punta Mita--where this home is located.
This luxurious condo features not only spectacular ocean views, but also the most exquisite contemporary Mexican Pacific interior design and contemporary art. The owners are contemporary art dealers, and they have created an atmosphere of serene contemporary beauty in this home. They have searched all over Mexico for the finest contemporary Mexican art. Staying in this condo is an education in Mexican contemporary art and design.... Never fear, however, the home is very child friendly as well, and children are welcomed.
Surf, snorkel, whale watch in front of our condo!: We have an expansive 500 square foot patio where you can dine and enjoy the gorgeous view of the ocean while you relax, dine, or enjoy en suite spa treatments.
Our condo faces the exact spot where people come from around the world to observe the beautiful whales have their babies in the Bay. The humpback whales spout on the horizon and jump high into the air as they play in the bay. You can enjoy this beautiful display of nature from our balcony…this experience alone will make your trip unforgettable. Enjoy views of the famous Marietta Islands, home of endangered bird species and remarkable snorkeling spot. Catch a panga boat a few feet away from our home to take you on the 15 minute boat ride to the Mariettas to see the birds and fish for yourself. Of course, you can also snorkel right in front of our home!

Won´t last. Palin herself doesn´t have enough material or intellect to fill too many hours. They´ll need additional personalities. Those either won´t fit into a format her fans will demand or they´ll have very limited popularity. Lloyd Marcus isn´t exactly a draw. Palin should get a radio show or host a network talk show.

There are a few good comments after the article. One poster reminded the haters that Sarah Palin´s emails, quick responses written off the cuff without knowing thousands of vultures would be analyzing them years later, got an 8.1 on the Flesch-Kincaid writing scale, which is higher than Obama´s carefully crafted speeches and right below Lincoln´s Gettysburg address and MLK Jr.´s I Have a Dream speech.Even when she´s not trying....she is smarter than the Left and makes the Right jealous!!! haha!! I love this woman. You really have to be a nasty, twisted individual to mock an intelligent, accomplished person with integrity such as Sarah Palin.24,000 emails and they couldn´t come up with anything against her. Her private email hacked and they couldn´t come up with any evidence that she is "stupid" or of low "intellect" or attention-seeking or make money dishonourably or any of the other made-up insults they throw at her.

I am no blind cheerleader for Gov. Palin, or anyone else for that matter... but I do like, support and admire her. She is NO dummy and she has a very important characteristic horribly lacking in both politics and the general public at large--integrity. I love to watch her detractors squirm. I just hate their constant lies. There´s nothing I hate more than pathological liars and manipulating crooks. Good luck, Gov. Palin! I hope hwr show does well.
