Analyst: Consolidation to Continue in Enterprise Software Space
Analyst: Consolidation to Continue in Enterprise Software Space
Darryl K. Taft
Posted 2007-12-14
Forrester analyst John Rymer also is predicting Microsoft's growing influence and IBM's entrance into enterprise apps.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla.Consolidation will continue in the enterprise software space over the next three years, Microsoft's influence will grow and IBM will get into the enterprise applications business. Those were among several scenarios Forrester Research analyst John Rymer laid out Dec. 13 during a talk at the Spring Experience show here.
As far as consolidation goes, BEA Systems and Tibco Software are among the most likely acquisition targets "unless they get bigger fast," Rymer said. BEA already this year was the
target of a failed takeover bid by Ora
He also said that BEA is one of several top enterprise applications vendors that face growth imperatives. The company must reach a $21-per-share stock price and show license growth outside of WebLogic to see any true growth, Rymer said. That will be particularly important as larger companies continue to target the market. For example, Microsoft's enterprise strength will continue to grow, Rymer said. "They're just good; they penetrate," he said. In addition, it's not just Microsoft's strength that's growing, but its overall influence in the enterprise, Rymer said. "And it's become a real factor for the Java providers," he said.
According to a survey of enterprises, 65 percent said they used .Net, while only 17 percent said they were using the Spring Framework, although "Spring had the fastest growth rate over the last two years," Rymer said.

Spring's disruption of the Java world.
Meanwhile, Rymer also predicted that IBM will get into the enterprise applications business. "IBM can't afford anymore to ignore enterprise applications if they want to continue to grow," he said. Other Rymer predictions include open source becoming "simply part of the fabric," portability standards waning while interoperability standards rise, and business units and IT departments increasingly working together to build applications. In addition, he said what he calls the "big four"Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and SAPwill remain, but new "coopetitors" will rise from the specialist ranks. There are three roles of players in the enterprise market: packagers, like the big four; commoditizers, like open-source communities such as GlassFish; and specialist innovators like
Ruby on Rails
, he said. Meanwhile, like BEA, other big vendors in the enterprise market face a series of growth imperatives. IBM has to lock down enterprise budgets and expand its presence in the SMB (small and midsize business) market, he said. Oracle has to get 100 percent growth in its Fusion middleware and Sun Microsystems needs to regain relevance, Rymer said. In addition, since the Java space has separate markets for runtimes and for programming models, that makes it possible to mix things like the Spring Framework with things like IBM WebSphere, he said. "So there are two facets of innovation here," he said. He said big vendors will watch for innovations like Spring to reach a point of adoption and then they will look for a way to embrace it. Yet, SpringSource, as it approaches ubiquity, will provide a layer across the big four, "or deep integration into a specific application platform, such as Oracleintegrating the Spring Framework into Oracle's stack," Rymer said. Moreover, it is the specialists, like SpringSource, that are providing breakthrough programming models and frameworks, breakthrough components, and support for programming shops, he said.

Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Sales Engineers in Houston — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. The average inexperienced worker earns $73K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $81K. Sales Engineers in Houston, Texas see a median salary of $94K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $103K.

By MICHAEL POLLITT, Agricultural editor
Friday, November 2, 2012
Woodland owners and contractors have responded with enthusiasm to incentives to bring a neglected resource back into active management across the eastern counties.
With total grant funding of about £2.5m through Woodfuel East, it has sparked the first significant investments in timber management as a fuel source for almost a quarter of a century.
While some estates and land owners have been prepared to meet the heavy costs of management over the years, advisers from WoodFuel East, which manages grant applications on behalf of the Rural Development Programme for England, have seen a resurgence of activity.
Sid Cooper, who is based at Cambridge and covers the eastern region, said that for many years the market for thinnings and lower-grade wood has been quite depressed. "The domestic firewood market has burgeoned so that you have a lot of woodlands which were unviable to manage now have become viable. That has increased the area under active management," he added.
While there has been investment by so-called standalone woodchip suppliers, there has been much more interest from some of the larger estates in converting low-grade timber to fuel boilers.
Mr Cooper said that the firewood market has really helped to underpin demand. "Because firewood is now worth something it has encouraged landowners and contractors. Many woods have been under-managed because there was no market to stimulate the initial management, so woods were not thinned or coppiced because it was just not worthwhile," he added.
"With many woodland operations there tends to be a range of potential timber markets – an assortment of older and large trees may be worth something or the branch wood or smaller material may also generate a return. And it may be possible to break-even or even make a small return form what was completely non-profitable," said Mr Cooper.
As ever with decades of neglected woodlands, it can be very expensive to deal with a typical block of 10 to 15 hectares, which probably badly needs thinning.
"To get to that point that trees have value, the woodland has to be managed by thinning and other good silvicultural practice. It is those elements which have been neglected but now better wood fuel markets are providing some incentive or stimulus," he added.
In the past, there has been so little interest or value in timber for firewood that it was just not viable to manage. Now that low-quality has been achieving a higher value which makes it possible to retain better quality trees to become future timber.
"Prices for round wood, firewood or fuel at roadside have been good in the last two years with the colder winters but they were a bit depressed last year," he said.
And it has also resulted in the prices of some low-quality timber and some hardwood firewood grade timber at roadside achieving the same rates as high-quality sawlogs or Corsican Pine construction timber out of Thetford Forest.
Last year, some hardwood at roadside for firewood was making about £45 tonne although prices have since eased by about £10 per tonne, depending on grade and presentation.
Obviously, timber which has been cut and seasoned will be worth more. As it dries, it loses weight but in round terms, a tonne of green timber worth about £40 at roadside may be worth about £40 per cubic metre. And once dried, hardwood firewood will be mostly costly.
However, as oil prices have risen steadily in the past couple of years, then timber and woodchip has looked increasingly attractive when it is on the doorstep. If it is possible to chip timber into store for between £65 to £70 per tonne, it could equate to paying about 20p litre for soil. "It is starting to value timber again as an energy commodity again oil which is really interesting," said Mr Cooper.
With demand for woodchip including Stansted taking about 10,000 cu metre or roughly 3,000 tonnes of timber and the growing demand for firewood, the prospects for woodland management appears to more buoyant than for some years.

@ReiKai said:
Universe vs Universe debates are forbidden. As are Omnipotent vs Omnipotent (for obvious reasons).
TOAA is probably the biggest problem. He might be the strongest character in fiction(as far as I know). On CV it's always unanimous that he beats Primal-Monitor or Presence.
@taichokage said:
Forbidden thread. No universe vs universe battles allowed. This is worse though because it's all universes. How is it even possible to know who would win this? Do you know anyone who can name even 1% of every single American /Japanese fictional characters? There are bound to be hundreds of thousands maybe millions. The scenarios would also be near infinite as well.
Agreed, and the same goes for Omnipotent vs. Omnipotent threads since they tend to be serious trouble. Let's lay off the "In Before the Lock" pics too.

Coming away with eight first-place finishes, the 8th-ranked (1A) Red Wing boys swimming and diving team pulled away with a 94-87 Missota Conference victory over Shakopee Thursday at Twin Bluff Middle School.
"Tonight's meet was a great success," said Wingers head coach Kevin O'Brien. "Not only did the boys win, but the vast majority of them dropped time in races they haven't swam for a while, largely because they had phenomenal turns."

Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn Funches
Beginner's luck doesn't usually apply to celebrity marriages, especially when a star has a "starter spouse," or someone with whom they tied the knot before they became famous. Here's a rundown of the first husbands and wives of some of our favorite power couples.
Before D-Wade coupled up with Gabrielle Union, he had a basketball wife named Siovaughn Funches. Unfortunately, Funches didn't go away quietly when their relationship ended. The exes are still in the midst of a messy custody battle for their two sons.

"On her new album Silent Lessons, Sharon Goldman channels both the subtlest and the most overwhelming emotions with a gentle and graceful understatement that's all the more haunting for how quiet it is."
""There's a plethora of young women doing the acoustic singer-songwriter thing at the moment. Sharon separates from the crowd because of the lovely qualities of her voice … purity, simplicity, directness, 100% presence. No big histrionics, vocal gymnastics, or the sound of a throat damaged by a jagged bourbon bottle. She knows that well-written songs can survive intact without the help of a triage nurse.""
""Behind [Sharon's] bright, shiny, catchy classic pop melodies and her symbolically charged imagery, there's a devious streak. Sometimes it's very funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes both at once.""
""Beautiful work. Her singing is flawless…her songs are smart and sensitive.""
""Sharon's songs are honest and direct, guided by an impeccable voice that draws you in at the first note.""
"Sleepless Lullaby is a totally enjoyable listen…I love Sharon's clear voice and truly interesting songs – nicely crafted contemporary folk with hints of pop."

This affects defense spending and investments
Don't spend it frivolously
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
As themarket reaches nearrecord highs , it's becoming harder to find value.
Historically, the average price-to-earnings (P/E ) ratio of the S&P 500 is about 15.
Today, the average is 19.
I'm not saying we're in a crazy bubble or the market is about to collapse. I'm only saying thatstocks have gotten more expensive recently as low Treasury andsavings account returns have forced investors intoequities in a desperate search foryield .
You may remember May 2009 when the average P/E ratio for the S&P 500 hit an all-time high of 123 (a number that is literally off the chart below).
Of course, the P/E ratio is just one measurement of value. Others include the price/earnings-to-growth (PEG ) ratio,dividend growth,earnings per share ( EPS ) andfree cash flow .
Peter Lynch was partial to using the PEG rate to value companies. In his book, "One Up OnWall Street ," Lynch wrote:
"The P/E ratio of any company that's fairly pricedwill equal its growth rate."
Since the equation for PEG looks like this:
...What Lynch mightterm as a fairly valued company will have its PEG equal to 1.
It is a basic tenet in the Benjamin Graham value school ofinvesting that the biggestgains are made by findingundervalued companies.
But we're not just pursuing any old undervalued company -- some stocks are in the dumps for a good reason, and we don't want to touch them with a 10-foot pole.
We're looking for companies that have been "unfairly punished" bymarket sentiment , have suffered temporary setbacks, and are poised for big turnarounds.
A recent example of this phenomenon is Barrick Gold ( ABX ) . When I wrote about Barrick a few months ago,shares were trading at its the lowest price since 2004. For the reasons I explained in that article, I thought the market had pushed Barrick into oversold territory.
I was wrong about the bottom -- Barrick continued to slide for another month. But since hitting bottom a month ago, Barrick is up 25 %, with no signs of slowing down.
Let's look at three stocks poised for a similar comeback.
You'd have to go back to 2005 to find share prices this low. With a forward P/E of 5, a PEG ratio just over 1, and share prices belowbook value , Buenaventura has seen better days. But the recent uptrend in gold prices, combined with several new projects under production, could be thecatalyst the company needs to turn things around. In 2010, Buenaventura began production at its La Zanja gold mine in Peru. The mine is expected to produce 100,000 ounces of gold peryear at below-average costs. The mine is operated as a joint venture with Newmont Mining ( NEM ) . Tantahuatay, another Peruvian gold mine with similar production estimates and costs, began production in August 2011. The company's Chucapaca project is expected to be a top-tierasset , but won't begin production for several years. Because its assets are located in Peru, there are geopolitical risks that come with aninvestment in Buenaventura. However, these risks areoffset by the fact that the company has been on goodterms with the country's government since the company's founding in 1953. With the suddenuptick in gold prices, Buenaventura shares have risen sharply over the past week.
Shares of the world's largest steel producer are are trading at its lowest price since 2004. ArcelorMittal is trading at less than half of book value with a PEG ratio of -5 and a P/E ratio of 14. Although the steel industry has been hammered by the GreatRecession , there are signs ofeconomic recovery , especially in Europe where the company is based.Emerging markets remain fertile territory for expansion.
ArcelorMittal supplies 20% of automakers' steel worldwide. In emerging markets, which represent 80% of global demand, the company has been aggressive. It now boasts a 30% share of the Brazilian steel market and is fighting for an increased presence in India and China. Although it owns minority interests in two Chinese steel producers, it will be an uphill struggle for ArcelorMittal to establish any kind of dominant role in China. China is the world's largest consumer of steel, yet the Chinese government has kept tight reins on the market and has blocked any attempts at majority holdings by foreign companies.
Risks to Consider: All three stocks carry considerable risk, primarily due to geopolitical concerns.
Action to Take --> These companies have been around for a while, pay dividends, and at these prices, have considerableupside potential.
My favoritestock of the three is Buenaventura. I've beenbullish on gold miners for a while now due to the huge disconnect between their valuations and the price of gold. The stock is currently in an uptrend and should make for a great short-term investment at recent prices.
Forcontrarian investors eager to buy when there's "blood in the streets," all three stocks fit the bill.

It's a Blackbird Christmas in July!
The novella Slay Belles is a short novel about the Blackbird Sisters, not as long as a full book, but short enough to read at the beach. In this fun story, Nora Blackbird investigates the murder of a snobby personal shopper who gives preferential treatment to her big-spending customers. One customer must have been dissatisfied, though, because she winds up dead in the department store's Christmas display. What I like about this book is that Spike the obnoxious dog is back! Sister Libby helps solve the crime, and gets mixed up with Santa Claus along the way, and hunky Mick the mafia prince is on the scene, too. I love Mick! He is so great in this book! I can't wait for NO WAY TO KILL A LADY, but this is a good story to keep me happy until it comes out.

ViViD Japan Show all reviews | This is ok, I sometimes like it, but I have many fragrances I like more. Its a very sporty scent...and im not very sporty. I also sneeze a lot while wearing this. I have gotten some negative comments on this, so I tend not to use it much. I have had this cologne in my collection for about 2 or 3 years, the same bottle, and its not even used up yet because I just don't wear it often. Honestly its not a bad scent overall, but I like other fragrances better. 27th October, 2010 |
zztopp United States Show all reviews | While the note pyramid looks interesting, this fragrance is basically a light, fresh scent. The top notes are fresh and kind of minty, while the drydown never smells as rich as the note pyramid makes it out to be. Its a decent everyday scent, but common staples like Cool Water and Aqua di Gio has this one beat...badly. 25th August, 2006 |
Francoise_Papiran Show all reviews | Hummer is a fresh and casual scent with a good lasting power but nothing out of this world. Its a nice fragrance but I like H2 better which is a warmer and more relaxing version of this. 08th February, 2006 |
castorpollux Show all reviews | Well, it's really not a bad scent, but it feels a bit cheap and doesn't have a lot of personality. It's very long lasting. But i won't buy a bottle as i feel it's a bit sharp and as i said kinda cheap. Now... if they could make a bottle of the scent of the plastic-cardboard where my test vial of Hummer came in, THAT frag, i would get. 05th February, 2006 |
20scents Show all reviews | Not bad, but I find it to be too simple and basic. I do not mind wearing it, it's just not as deep as I would like it. A very crisp, outdoorsy scent to be sure, Hummer was not a complete failure, IMO. I think the Hummer H2 scent that came next was much better. 02nd December, 2005 |
richie23 Show all reviews | Ok, Hummer shouldn't have made a fragrance. Fragrances that are sponsored by cars or celebrities are usually cheap, synthetic, and forgettable. Still, in all honesty, this one is not half bad. It smells quite nice and for a first scent, it is far better and less sweet than the usual Lucky You's or Curve's. Good for ages 15- 21. 05th August, 2005 |

Flagstar Announces One-for-Ten Reverse Stock Split Effective Today
TROY, Mich., Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: FBC) ("Flagstar" or the "Company") announced that effective at 4:15 p.m. EDT today, shares of its common stock will be subject to a reverse split on a one-for-ten basis. Flagstar shares are expected to trade on a post-split basis when the markets open tomorrow on Thursday, October 11, 2012, will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FBC, and have been assigned a new CUSIP number - 337930 705.
Flagstar stockholders will receive one new share of Flagstar common stock for every ten shares held at the effective time. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of outstanding common stock from approximately 558.3 million to approximately 55.8 million. The number of authorized shares of common stock will be reduced from 700 million to 70 million. Proportional adjustments will be made to Flagstar's outstanding options, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or receive shares of Flagstar common stock. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders will receive cash. Cash payments for fractional shares will be determined on the basis of the stock's closing price on October 9, 2012, adjusted for the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will not negatively affect any of the rights that accrue to holders of Flagstar outstanding options, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or receive shares of common stock.
Stockholders with certificated shares are required to exchange their stock certificates for new stock certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split. Flagstar's transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, is the exchange agent for the reverse stock split and will distribute a letter of transmittal to shareholders with instructions for surrendering old stock certificates.

LEC's Graduate Consultancy Scheme helps Ugandan farmers adapt to climate change
LEC's Graduate Consultancy Scheme has been running for over 5 years and has placed in the region of 300 students in industrial settings. The scheme is designed to provide businesses with access to the skills and expertise of high calibre current university postgraduates and undergraduates.
Michelle Clarke, BA in Geography, spent two weeks in Uganda with the company Nile Teas Ltd. She explains "They produce a hibiscus drink called "Simply Hibi" which they sell to the UK market and East African markets. It provides an extra income for subsistence farmers in Uganda. I was looking at how the farmers are adapting to climate change and potential solutions to the issue in the area.
Working on a research project in Uganda is one of the most exciting opportunities I've ever had. The people I met and the fantastic experience I had that meant I didn't want to leave at the end of the two weeks! I am aiming to go back this summer to carry on with my research and see all the wonderful people I met on my last trip, and to see how the project unfolds."
David Ainsworth, Student Placement Manager, commented: "Transnational projects such as this provide fantastic opportunities for students and business. Lancaster is well placed for Environmental Science and Geography students, being close to National Parks, upland areas, coastal environments, and large cities, but to extend placement opportunities beyond the local area can further enhance student experience, whilst providing benefits to international business.
We are currently working to deliver more placements such as Michelle's, through our KARIM project, with companies in Northwest Europe, and have already placed a number of students in France and Ireland. Whether it's a Northwest business or an international organisation like Nile Teas Ltd., our high quality graduates use their skills and enthusiasm to form partnerships, make a difference and deliver real impact."
To find out more about the LEC's Graduate Consultancy Scheme watch the latest film which includes an overview of the different types of projects from David Ainsworth, Student Placement Manager, comment from Dr. Andy Jarvis, Associate Director for Postgraduate study, and Zareena Longdale, of HR consultancy People:id, who facilitates half day training sessions to prepare the students for work with industry.

The Business Side of Martial Arts
By Joshua M. Davis
Editor's Note: This is the third of a four part article on marketing your dojo. In Part 1 the author discussed the importance of "word of mouth" referrals, knowing your own strengths and defining your target market. Part 2 discussed the need for an effective web site. Part 3 includes information on submitting your web site to search engines, use of keywords and backlinks, local directory marketing, use of social media and traditional marketing. Part 4 discusses traditional marketing.
1) Google, Bing, and Yahoo directory submissions
Each of these main directories have webmaster tools that you can submit your site to. You can sign up for these services and add an xml site map, and these sites will index all of the pages of your site to add to their directory.
Google Webmaster tools - www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ Yahoo Webmaster tools - siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ Bing Webmaster tools - http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmasters/?rfp=956122970
You can use a site like http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ to create your site map. 2) Keywords and Back-links To understand how search engine rankings work, you have to understand how keywords and back-links work. The 2 key concepts are: (1) Choosing high value keywords to use in your content. Using a tool like https://adwords.google.com will help you pick the right keywords for your web site. I can tell you that the best key word is your martial art or style in "the city and state" your dojo is in, i.e., "Kenpo Karate in Virginia Beach, VA., (2) Finding related websites that will link back your website and content. All "Backlinks" are good for your sites search engine rating, but local search sites and related content sites are better than unrelated content. Keywords
There are some important places to use keywords on your website:
The HTML page title - use good page titles that are keyword rich like "Taekwondo Classes In Washingtion D.C." Quick and to the point and easy for a user to see and say, "yes", that is exactly what I am looking for.
The file name (use karate-classes-in-Richmond-Virginia.html instead of karateclasses.html) Search engines can read individual keywords in page names when they are separated by a dash.
META description - make the first sentence of your description field capture the attention of a user and use the rest of the description tag to elaborate further.
META keywords - is a list of related keywords
H1, H2, H3 Tags
Link text - don't use links like "Click here to learn more." Use a keyword rich link like "Learn more about our martial arts instructors"
bold text - search engines see bold text as important since you took the time to highlight it, but it is low on priority. Make sure you don't bold everything or you can actually get a penalty in the search engine.
Important: Sites like Facebook will import your page title and description and display it on their site pages. Make sure that you treat these like highly paid ads, and make sure you get the biggest bang for the buck. You may want to try sharing a link from your site on your Facebook page to make sure you have good text imported. If not tinker with it till you do.
Back Links
Search engines sees websites with lots of back links that are on topic as more relevant to a search request than sites that have fewer back links. This does not mean that you can get everyone you know to link to your site and you magically jump to number one. You need to find related sites and directories that match your keywords. For example, if your dojo is part of a national martial arts organization or has other associated dojos, its a no brainer to trade links with them. There are many dojo directories; submit your site to them (like www.dojolocator.com). If you are a writer you can add articles to your website on martial arts topics to entice people to link to your site. You can submit those articles to other martial arts websites and get them distributed. If they are posted, you will benefit from your "about the author" section or links back to your site. Articles on your website will also be picked up by various search engines and listed within search results. This can lead readers to your site based on keywords that you may not be able to present well otherwise. For example, writing about topics like women in martial arts, martial arts for weight loss, self defense for the elderly, defending against bullies or even teaching martial arts to Kids with learning disabilities. These types are articles will introduce niche pages of keyword rich content that people may be looking for and you are the only one in town talking about.
Martial arts forums are also a great place to get an easy backlink. If you post on one of these sites like www.bullshido.com or www.kenpotalk.com your account signature file can have a link back to your site every time you comment. This works best when you are commenting on topics that relate to your dojo. For example commenting on a post like "Looking for Kenpo Karate Classes in Richmond VA", you can comment on that thread with your Shotokan Karate school in your signature file and you get a keyword match for karate.
Great Sites for Backlinks
Martial Art Specific Sites
3) Local Directory Marketing
Local website directories are becoming more and more important. I have seen statistics saying that 80% of web traffic comes from local search. Before I tell you any more... you need to go and set up a Google places page for your business. http://www.google.com/places/
Ok, now that you did that, you can work on some of the other local listing services, such as:
Google Maps
Map Quest
Yahoo Local
Bing Local
Insider Pages.com
4) Facebook and Social Media
Facebook is the new "guerrilla" in the dojo marketing world! There is a very good chance that just about everyone in your dojo is already on Facebook, and there is a good chance that your potential students are on Facebook, too. Having a web presence there will add another weapon to your marketing arsenal. You can start a Facebook page for your business at http://www.facebook.com/advertising/?pages. I
I want to thank Christopher Caile the Editor of FightingArts.com for all the wording suggestions, clarifications and editing of this and other articles in this series.

Look to the future with Director of Energy Campaigns Gabe Wisniewski. Together we can take on big energy companies, make the switch to renewables, and stop climate change.
Video details
Avoiding the worst impacts of climate change requires a fundamental shift in the way we consume and generate energy. This shift should begin immediately and be well underway within the next ten years. The scale of the challenge requires a complete transformation of the way we produce, consume and distribute energy. Fortunately, we can meet this challenge while giving a boost to the economy, energy sector employment and energy security.
Climate change is a reality. Today, our world is hotter than it has been in two thousand years, and we are experiencing faster sea level rise and more extreme weather than scientists had previously predicted. By the end of the century, if current trends continue, the global temperature will likely climb higher than at any time in the past two million years. Read more.
It's not hard to see the result of our reliance on fossil fuels.
