(3)Kazan 0 @ (2)Magnitogorsk 1 (OT)
Kazan Leads the Series 2-1
Vasily Koshechkin, Magnitogorsk, Win, 37/37, SO, 0.00 GAA, 1.000 sv%
Season totals: 49 GP, 25-16-8, 8 SO, 1.96 GAA, .927 sv%

Season totals: 52 GP, 18-9-27, +7, 18 PIM
Playoff totals: 6 GP, 1-1-2, +4, 4 PIM
Wow. Facing the prospect of falling into a 3-0 hole in the series, Vasily Koshechkin pitched a 37 save shutout to help Magnitogorsk pull off a 1-0 overtime victory in Game Three. Petri Kontiola scored off a Stan Chistov assist with just 5 seconds remaining in the first overtime session to seal the deal. Dmitri Kazionov played a scoreless 24:50 in the match for Kazan. Can we please get some of what was in Koshechkin's water bottle for Tokarski for the two big games the Admirals have coming up against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this week?
Game Four tomorrow.
(8)Dynamo Riga 4 @ (2)KHK MVD 5 (OT)
KHK MVD Leads the Series 3-1

Ex-NHLer and KHL goal scoring champion Marcel Hossa scored a tying goal with less than 1 minute remaining in regulation, but Evgeni Fedorov scored a goal 2:33 into the second overtime to help KHK MVD win 5-4. The win puts Cindarella Riga on the brink of elimination. Lightning prospect Martins Karsums scored a goal early in the 2nd period and took a second period elbowing minor in 23:42 of ice time.

Playoff totals: 2 GP, 2-0-0, 1 SO, 1.50 GAA, .946 sv%
So far, so good for Sodertalje in the Swedish relegation/promotion series. The club got 1 goal and 1 assist from ex-Kings prospect Yanick Lehoux and 2 assists from ex-Avs draft pick Linus Videll in today's match to defeat Allsvenskan team AIK. Next up for Sodertalje: Leksands, which was briefly promoted to the Elitserien for the 2005-2006 season, but has been relegated to the Allsvenskan ever since. That match will take place Thursday.

Mumbai is India's most populated metropolis, filled with far too many attractions to fit into a single visit. On my recent trip through the state of Maharashtra, I had less than 24 hours to cram in the highlights of the city formerly known as Bombay. What follows are my top picks for those who find themselves short on time — not curiosity.
Spice It Up
Follow your nose to the Crawford Market, where the scent of nag champa incense mixes with dried coriander, garlic and curry. The market occupies a historic colonial building and is named after the first Municipal Commissioner of the city, Arthur Crawford. Locals come here to buy everything from ripe Alphonso mangos and masala curry spice to children's toys and household pets.
Be the Change
Learn about the man behind the message at the Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum, a private-residence-turned-museum that celebrates the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi. The two-story home served as Gandhi's Mumbai residence from 1917 to 1934. During this time, Gandhi initiated the Non-Cooperation Movement as well as the Satyagraha, Swadeshi, Khadi and Khilafat movements. Visitors can see Gandhi's room and work place — which has been preserved as close to its original setting as possible — his trademark Charkha (spinning wheel) and the terrace where Gandhi was arrested on Jan. 4, 1932. There is also a library featuring approximately 40,000 books and periodicals about Gandhi and Gandhism.
Lunch at Leopold's
If these walls could talk, they would never shut up. Established in 1871, Leopold Cafe has gone through many incarnations, from a meeting place for gangsters and a seedy backpacker's hangout to the setting of the 2003 cult novel, "Shantaram." The cafe was hit by the Mumbai terrorist attacks of 2008 but famously reopened four days later as a sign of the city's resilience. Come to this mainstay in the Colaba neighborhood to sip a Kingfisher beer from the tap, scope out other world travelers and browse its dizzying menu of Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine.
Washed Out
Chances are that if you have stayed in a hotel in Mumbai in the last century, you have slept on sheets washed at the Dhobi Ghat. This open-air laundry facility is the largest in the country and is still the go-to laundry depot for many of Mumbai's hotels and hospitals. Remarkably, the Dhobi Ghat does not use electricity, meaning that there are no laundry machines or dryers in sight — just rows of concrete wash pens and multicolored sheets hanging on clothing lines for as far as the eye can see. The Dhobi Ghat employs approximately 600 Dhobis (male washers), who can be seen whacking wet clothes against flogging stones or even taking a cool dip in a wash pen.
A Rosy Outlook
Giraffes, lions and camels live together in harmony at the Hanging Gardens of Mumbai — well, sort of. On the terraced grounds, visitors will find dozens of topiary animals, a gorgeous rose garden and all manner of plants living on top of a 30-million-gallon reservoir, which feeds the city's water supply. Right before sunset, head to the Kamala Nehru Park for spectacular views of Marine Drive and the Arabian Sea.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
(1) Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. Archabbot Justin presided
over the blessing of the palms on the steps of the Memorial Lobby
at 9:15 this morning; procession into the Archabbey Church and our
celebration of the Eucharist followed. The Passion According to
Mark was chanted. Until Holy Thursday, Brother Zachary is our
Office Heb for the week, and so he presided over Vigils-Lauds,
Midday Prayer, Vespers and Compline.
(2) Monday of Holy Week, and after Compline this evening we had
our annual Lenten Penance Service. Father Joseph presided and
preached, and Fathers Vincent, Columba, Meinrad, Harry and Sean
assisted as confessors.
(3) Tuesday of Holy Week. Father Abbot Justin and Brother Kim,
our custos of the church, drove to Indianapolis for the
archdiocese's Chrism Mass, presided over by our apostolic
administrator, the Most Rev. Christopher Coyne. The Bishop Emeritus
of Indianapolis, the Most Rev. Daniel Buechlein, is, of course,
with us! Brother Kim brought back a supply of the newly consecrated
oils, and so he will be supplying a number of our priest-monks with
refreshed vials of the oil of the sick.
(4) Wednesday of Holy Week. After Midday Prayer, Christopher
Elam of Bloomington, Indiana, was invested as an oblate novice in
the Archabbey Church. We ask God's blessings on all our
oblates! +++ During Vespers this evening, we celebrated
the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. After the reading, the
priests of the community followed Father Archabbot Justin in laying
hands upon Archbishop Daniel, Archabbot Bonaventure, Brother
Benedict, and Fathers Simeon, Rupert, Gavin and Augustine, and then
Abbot Justin anointed them. After Vespers, Fr. Prior Kurt
accompanied Fr. Abbot to the infirmary, for the anointing of our
confreres Fathers Richard, Benedict, Mel and Louis Hacker, and
Brother Giles.
(5) After Midday Prayer on this Holy Thursday, we invested Julie
Wilberding of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, as an oblate novice. Julie
is a niece of our Brother Zachary. God's blessings upon her and
upon all our oblates. +++ Our Mass of the Lord's Supper
began at five o'clock this afternoon. Archabbot Justin presided,
Fathers Bede and Denis assisted, and Brother Anthony of Assumption
Abbey served as deacon. Father Denis sang the gospel, and Father
Tobias offered the homily. After the homily, Abbot Justin washed
the feet of twelve - four monks and eight retreatants and guests,
and then presented each with a small gift. +++ Shortly
after the Eucharist, we enjoyed a traditional - and most delicious
- Holy Thursday supper of lamb in the Newman Dining Room with our
guests and retreatants.
(6) Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. Archabbot Justin presided
at our Solemn Liturgy, which began at three o'clock this afternoon.
The Passion According to Saint John was beautifully chanted by
Fathers Jeremy and Tobias and Brother John Mark. We ate our two
community meals today - midday and evening - in silence, listening
to a table reading that offered reflections on the Sorrowful
Mysteries of the rosary. About a half hour after the Solemn
Liturgy, the monastic community gathered in the Chapter Room for
our Chapter of Faults, again presided over by Archabbot Justin.
Compline at seven o'clock officially closed our day.
(7) The house was quiet most of the day, as final preparations
for the Easter Vigil were under way, usually behind the scenes. We
had table reading at our noonday meal, but shortly after Vespers we
enjoyed some prerecorded music at our "silent" evening meal. The
Easter Vigil began at eight o'clock, with Father Archabbot Justin
presiding, Fathers Julian and Adrian as assistants, and Brothers
Anthony Baker (Assumption Abbey, South Dakota) and Romain Baker
(Togo, West Africa) serving as deacons. Father Jeremy, choirmaster,
sung the Exsultet,and Father Germain blessed the water.
For many years, we have had the house tradition of bringing in a
lamb to be blessed by the abbot; we did indeed have a lamb, but
"technical reasons" kept it out of the ceremony (too small a
basket, too big a lamb, and a bladder that seemingly would never
empty!). Our Vigil of the Lord's Resurrection concluded just before
eleven o'clock, and many of us then adjourned to our refectory for
some wine and snacks before retiring after a long, but
grace-filled, day. Among those joining us for Holy Week and the
Triduum were 24 participants in a retreat offered by Father Denis,
titled "Reflections on the Triduum.
(8) Happy Easter! We observed our "most unusual" schedule of the
year on this Day of the Lord's Resurrection: breakfast at 7:30,
Lauds at 8:30, Midday Prayer at 11:30, followed by a social in our
calefactory and then a fine main meal in our refectory. After a few
quiet hours in the afternoon, we regrouped for II Vespers at 5
o'clock, followed by a buffet supper in our refectory. As usual,
Compline closed the day at 7:00. May the Lord's blessings be upon
us all, as we praise God for the gift of his Son-and may His Spirit
be upon us always!
(9) Easter Monday. We continued our festivities by enjoying
"Sunday Schedule" with its later rising and prayer times. Today is
an O.P.-ranked feast, and so Father Prior Kurt presided at our 9:30
Eucharist and offered the homily.
(10) Our seminarians are back to their classes and the monastery
is back to its regular weekday schedule. This Easter Tuesday is one
of two O.S.-ranked feasts ("Order of the Subprior"; the other is
December 27), and so Father Subprior Guerric presided at our
Eucharist. Brother Anthony, of Assumption Abbey, South Dakota,
offered the homily.
(11) A breezy, somewhat chilly Easter Wednesday. We continue to
sing the Alleluia refrain, but outside of our liturgies some of the
Easter leisure is gone-especially, as our students would say, for
them. Indeed, there are less than five weeks left in the semester
and that means, of course, a number of deadlines for papers and
projects are approaching. The school is looking forward to this
weekend, as the apostolic administrator of Indianapolis, the Most
Rev. Christopher Coyne, will ordain two seminarians to the
(12) This evening our Development Office hosted the Lincoln
Hills/Huntingburg Alumni and Friends Dinner. The evening began with
Vespers in the Archabbey Church, then a reception in the Alumni
Commons and supper in the Anselm Dining Room. We're glad to be able
to set aside some time to thank our friends for the support they
continue to give for the prayer and work of Saint Meinrad.
(13) The renovation of St. Bede and Newman halls continues, and
on schedule! This afternoon a committee met to discuss some of the
details of the dedication of the two projects, which will take
place on October 6.
(14) A somewhat rainy Saturday, but a happy one for our seminary
community. The Most Rev. Christopher Coyne, apostolic administrator
of our Archdiocese of Indianapolis, ordained two seminarians to the
transitional diaconate this morning: John Kamwendo for the
archdiocese and Todd Nance for the Diocese of Tulsa. Last week
Scott Woods and Christopher Mileski were ordained to the
transitional diaconate in their Diocese of Toledo. Their classmates
will be ordained over the next few weekends, also in their home
dioceses. God's blessings on all our new deacons!
(15) The Second Sunday of Easter and Father Harry, our Mass Heb,
presided and preached at the 9:30 Conventual Mass.
(16) The Monastery Chapter met after Compline this evening to
elect two monks to the Abbot's Council and a monk to the Seminary's
Board of Trustees.
(17) Father Harry preached at our Conventual Mass this
(18) We enjoyed our usual "special desserts" in the calefactory
after supper. +++ Earlier in the week we received word
that our Father Cassian, founder and prior of Monastero di San
Benedetto in Norcia, Italy, received the Pro Fidelitate et
Virtute Award from the Institute of Religious Life near
Chicago. Congratulations, Father Prior Cassian!
(19) After Vespers this evening, a number of monks joined Father
Abbot Justin in welcoming our co-workers for a social and supper.
This annual event is our Service Recognition Dinner, one small way
we express our appreciation to the many men and women who help keep
the hill up and running 24/7. Some of these men and women have been
working with us for over 50 years! We hold them and their families
in our prayers.
(20) Our Institute of Priests and Presbyterates concluded
session two of their World Priest Program today, which involved 10
participants and staff. +++ This evening Brother
Zachary began offering the Good Shepherd Women's Retreat, "Women of
the Bible," to 16 participants. +++ Father Subprior
Guerric, novice-junior master, Brother John Mark, socius, and
Novice Anushka left for Gethsemane Abbey (outside of Bardstown,
Kentucky) today, for the annual novitiate visit. After two days
experiencing the Cistercian ways of prayer and work, they'll return
to the hill in time for Vespers Sunday.
(21) About 25 monks enjoyed a pizza lunch at The UnStable after
Midday Prayer today. Pizza chefs Fathers Prior Kurt and Patrick
were assisted by second-year theology seminarian Timothy Wyciskalla
(Indianapolis) and first-year theology seminarians Adam Ahern
(Indianapolis) and Jeremy Goebel (Evansville). Two pizzas were also
delivered to our confreres and in the monastery infirmary and their
caretakers. +++ A few dozen young parishioners from the
Evansville Diocese parishes of St. Clement (Boonville) and St.
Rupert (Red Brush) were on the hill today, making a day-long
retreat in preparation for their Confirmation.
(22) Father Eugene, our Mass Heb, presided and preached at our
Conventual Mass this morning. +++ This afternoon
Matthew Scheeser, who had entered our novitiate this past January,
left the monastery to return to his home and, after a short break,
take up work as a church musician in the Washington, D.C., area. We
are grateful for Matthew's time with us, and pray the Lord continue
to guide him in his discernment.
(23) Today and tomorrow about 75 individuals will be on the
hill, participating in a meeting of school principals from
the Indianapolis Archdiocese.
(24) It has been announced that Father Mark (whose patronal
feast day we celebrate tomorrow), currently pastor at St. Mary's
Parish, Huntingburg, will be returning to the hill in August. He
will resume full-time teaching in our seminary, as well as offering
spiritual direction to our seminarians. Father Godfrey, currently
vice rector of our seminary, will become pastor of St. Mary's.
These appointments are effective in August.
(25) Feast of the Evangelist Mark. Father Eugene, our Mass Heb,
(26) Father Jeremy began a several-day retreat for 19 parish
secretaries, titled: "Caught in the Crosshairs: The Sacrifice of
Service." The secretaries come from parishes in Kentucky, Indiana,
Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois.
(27) A sad day for us. Forty-seven-year-old co-worker in our
Abbey Press IT Department Kevin Wilson collapsed in his office
shortly after noon today. All efforts to revive him proved
unsuccessful. Kevin leaves his wife and seven children, one of who
works in our Development Office. May his soul, and the souls of all
the faithful departed, rest in peace. +++ Our Board of
Overseers met for the first session of their spring meeting today.
Among those honored at the evening meal was John Wilson, who is
retiring from his position as general manager of the Abbey Press in
July. John has been working with us, first in the Business Office
and, more recently, in the Abbey Press, since the late 1970s. We're
most grateful for his service!
(28) The Board of Overseers concluded their spring meeting just
before noon. The Board of Trustees met after lunch, and Archabbot
Justin accepted their recommendation that Fr. Denis be appointed
for a second five-year term as president-rector of our seminary.
Congratulations, Father Denis! +++ Father Louis Hacker,
whose feast day we celebrate today, experienced chest pains this
morning, and so was admitted to the hospital in Jasper for
observation. We keep him in our prayers.
(29) Fourth Sunday of Easter. Father Adrian is our Mass
Heb. +++ The "first run" of Father Gavin's new play,
"Between Friends," concluded with an afternoon performance today;
the play premiered Friday evening, and had a second showing
Saturday evening. The final two performances are scheduled for next
weekend. The performances take place at the amphitheater at Lincoln
State Park. "Between Friends" details the "literary relationships"
among President Lincoln and Generals Grant and Sherman during the
Civil War. Well done, playwright and co-producer Father Gavin!
(30) On this last day of April, I prepare to hand over the next
few weeks of entries to the capable "pen" of Brother Francis
Wagner. Brother Francis professed his vows in 2008. He serves as
associate editor in our Publications Division (Path of Life
Publications) in our Abbey Press, in addition to his duties as
assistant director of oblates. Brother Francis will be keeping you
informed of things, while I take a few weeks of vacation-which
suggests our closing quote from St. Benedict's Rule for
the month....
"Brothers who are about to set out on a journey should commend
themselves to the prayers of all the brethren and the abbot…. And
no one should presume to tell anyone else what he has seen or heard
outside the monastery, for that causes great harm."

Eric Peterson '98 Wins Regional Emmy
November 21, 2011
Eric Peterson awarded for his work directing the Big Ten Network's Sunday Pregame Show.
Peterson is pictured 2nd from left.
By: Brigitte Graf '13
Bradley alum Eric Peterson earned an Emmy at the 53rd Annual Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards for Outstanding Achievement for Sports Programs. He received this award for his work on the Big Ten Football Saturday Pregame show on Big Ten Network.
Peterson is a director at Comcast SportsNet Chicago and also freelances as a director for various companies in the Chicago area, including Big Ten Network. He graduated from Bradley's COM RT program in the spring of 1998.
As a student at Bradley, Peterson worked directing Midstate Magazine. The program broadcasts live from the Global Communications Center on campus, and directing for the show was an experience he says helped him decide upon his career path.
"Once I got a feel for what it was like to direct live television, I knew what I wanted to do with my career," Peterson said.
Peterson's recent success is something he recognizes as in part due to the work of those around him.
"I know it's clich̩e to say, but just being nominated for an Emmy was such an honor," Peterson said. "I've been extremely fortunate to work with some very talented producers in Chicago. The entire staff at Big Ten Network is amazing."
Peterson admits that working to direct a live broadcast has its challenges as a result of the faced-paced atmosphere.
"During a live show, the control room can be chaotic, but when it goes off smoothly on the air it's extremely rewarding," Peterson said.
He encourages current students searching for their own career paths to find out what they love to do and pursue it.
"Get as much experience as you can early on doing different things, and use that to determine what you want to do," Peterson said.
To those looking to start a career in communications, Peterson says to be prepared for long hours and tough work. His advice is to seek the encouragement of those around you.
"The road can be difficult at times ... but it's worth it," Peterson said. "It helps to have the support of my family, and especially my wife, Beth. I would not be where I am today without her."

Children as young as age 4 can now be officially diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to new guidelines released by The American Academy of Pediatrics. The new report recommends behavior modification therapy as the first line of defense for preschoolers diagnosed with ADHD, with prescription medications like Ritalin to be tried at a low dose only if therapy is not effective on its own.
Up until now, the AAP only provided guidelines for ADHD diagnosis starting at age 6, when most children begin first grade. What's behind the change in thinking? Emerging evidence now makes it possible to diagnose and manage ADHD sooner. "Treating children at a young age is important, because when we can identify them earlier and provide appropriate treatment, we can increase their chances of succeeding in school," said Mark Wolraich, MD, FAAP, and chairperson of the committee that authored the report. "An earlier diagnosis will help decrease stress on the family, and prevent affected children from getting the message from an early age that they're 'bad' kids."
ADHD, previously known as ADD, is the U.S.'s most common childhood mental disorder; currently 8 percent of all U.S. kids, which translates to about 5 million, have been diagnosed. It is a neurological condition that causes a child to lose focus and behave in ways that may make it difficult to successfully participate in school, social and family life. Children with ADHD can be inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive, and many have a combination of these behaviors. The new guidelines are an attempt to give evidence-based, specific recommendations for what some pediatricians are already doing unofficially: using Ritalin and other stimulants off-label to treat small kids with problems severe enough to get them expelled from preschool and wreak havoc on their families.
Plus: The Growing Trends of Preschoolers on Psychiatric Medications
ADHD or Just Being a Kid?
How can parents tell the difference between a child with true ADHD, and one who's just a little immature or going through a difficult phase? Often they can't without the help of a medical professional. In order for a child to be diagnosed for ADHD, he or she must demonstrate symptoms outlined by American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV, known as DSM IV. These symptoms include an inability to focus, a tendency to lose things, trouble listening, and more behaviors that pretty much sound like your typical preschooler on a bad day. "We are not talking about one-off incidents, or just a tough time of day when kids are tired," says Dr. Wolraich. "Parents should see these behaviors consistently in multiple settings. It's the extent and frequency of the problem that helps us make the diagnosis." Pediatricians should also first rule out other causes of problem behavior, like poor vision, hearing, traumatic life events or other learning disabilities.
Plus: Complete list of ADHD Symptoms
What about kids who seem to be borderline, able to squeak by in school but having a tougher time managing hyperactivity and impulsiveness than their peers? Talk to your pediatrician. Behavior modification therapy, which includes group or private parent training, may help even without an official ADHD diagnosis. "Behavior modification provides techniques to help you to parent better," says Dr. Wolraich, which might be enough to help you keep your challenging child on track.
Long-term Effects of Medication
Dr. Wolraich stresses that behavior modification without medication should be tried first for preschoolers (for grade school children and adolescents, the AAP recommends medication andbehavior therapy in tandem, if possible). Most programs last around 8 to 12 weeks. Dr. Wolraich stresses that ADHD meds are only for preschoolers with moderate to severe behavior problems. "We want to be more conservative in treating the littlest kids, because there's still not a lot of data on the long-term effect of medication," says Dr. Wolraich. Since kids with ADHD stays on meds for an average of three years, there's a dearth of studies on how ADHD medications like Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, or Vyvanse can effect development when you start at a young age and continue it.
Plus: Complete list of ADHD Medications, including side effects
Preschoolers on stimulants like Ritalin tend to experience the same side effects as older kids, like insomnia or loss of appetite. However, due to a slower metabolism, smaller doses may be effective for preschoolers, making side effects less of a problem.

SAN ANDREAS - Thanks to a robot named Lynnie, people who suffer strokes and go to the emergency room at Mark Twain St. Joseph's Hospital in San Andreas have access to neurologists at the Mercy Neurological Institute in Sacramento.
SAN ANDREAS - Thanks to a robot named Lynnie, people who suffer strokes and go to the emergency room at Mark Twain St. Joseph's Hospital in San Andreas have access to neurologists at the Mercy Neurological Institute in Sacramento.
Since Oct. 1, the neurologists in Sacramento have been linked to the hospital in San Andreas through the Mercy Telehealth Network. The network allows the doctors to use wireless robots to remotely examine patients and consult with them.
Mark Twain St. Joseph's Hospital is just one of a number of rural hospitals that now receive support from the Mercy Telehealth Network. The network's hubs are at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento and Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Carmichael.
Patients who arrive in Mark Twain's emergency department with stroke symptoms are now evaluated immediately by a Mercy Neurological Institute stroke specialist.
Mark Twain's robot has been named "Lynnie" after Lynn Gates, a hospital nurse who died of a stroke in 2009.
Gates was a registered nurse who worked for many years at Mark Twain St. Joseph's Hospital. She was the director of education and then became manager of surgical services.

Oracle is the world's largest enterprise software company. It has made its name in the software industry as the pioneer of relational database software, which lets businesses store and manage large amounts of data. The company's operations are separated into two divisions: software and services. Oracle's software licenses and software support have consistently brought in about 80% of their total revenue.[1]
Oracle has been on an acquisitions frenzy. These acquisitions have increased the number of customers that rely on Oracle for product support. By increasing its customer base Oracle has been able to reduce its software license prices to compete with other software giants, keeping their support fees level and increasing the number of customers requiring their support. In 2005, Oracle purchased PeopleSoft Inc. for $11.1 billion. Oracle purchased BEA Systems for $8.5 billion in 2008. Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion dollars in January 2009, after receiving regulatory approval from the European Commission. Sun has transformed Oracle from a database and business-software company to a hardware company as well.
Oracle develops and sells database and middleware as well as business application software and offers hardware and services related to the products. The company is one of the top 10 companies listed in the NASDAQ Composite index[2].
Oracle's business is divided into two segments: software, and services. The software division represents new software licenses, license renewals and product support while the services division consists of consulting, education and on demand hosting services. The Software License Updates and Product Support division of the Software segments in the largest revenue generator for the the company, with 46% of the $22.4B being credited to this division.[3]
Oracle's total revenue is dominated by its software division which pulls in roughly 80% of total revenues each year.[4] Within the software group revenues are split between new licenses and renewals and product support.[5]
Oracle began making software to organize data in the 1970s with their focus on relational database software. This software is used for storing data and relating different pieces to one another. Database software generally forms the lowest tier of a company's software infrastructure. The next tier, known as middleware, provides integration between the database and the applications that use the data stored in the database. The final tier, applications software, is the software with which users interact. Applications software is often tailored to fit the specific needs of a company. While the original company was focused on database software, Oracle has been expanding its offerings in middleware and applications software as well as providing hardware support and hosting through its On-Demand unit.
Oracle also sells off the shelf software products for businesses that provide services such as e-mail, file servers, and client resource management.
Oracle maintains a separate business unit that helps customers take advantage of all the features and functionality of its software. Oracle provides services through consulting , education and on-demand software. These services are offered in a variety of different contexts including in-house services and service by telephone.
Oracle announced that they would begin selling hardware (computer servers) at the end of their first fiscal quarter 2009.The company has partnered with HP to sell servers that come with Oracle database software pre-installed. Oracle claims that their servers can provide faster computing for businesses than other competing hardware providers.[6]
A significant trend in the software and computing industries has been a shift towards what is known as cloud computing, an infrastructure that is based on centralized shared servers. Under this model everything that a company needs in terms of computing will be located and maintained off-site rather than in house. Furthermore, the same company that manages the servers and physical equipment will also license a platform and software to a firm, which can then be accessed over the internet as an on demand service. Under this model businesses are able to save money on various costs including software service, which is a significant source of revenue for Oracle. Cloud computing also offers more efficient processing, storage, and bandwidth usage by centralizing the equipment and optimizing the software. There are a few potential downsides to the cloud computing model, including concerns over the security of centralized computing as well as concerns over the current limitations of bandwidth.
A shift towards cloud computing would be a difficult one for companies like Oracle and Microsoft, who produce and distribute software to their clients in a traditional sense. The costs of developing and managing a cloud system are significant and provide barriers to entry. Companies like Amazon, Salesforce.com, Google, NetSuite and RightNow Technologies are examples of those which have already begun offering products based on cloud computing technology. In order to hold its position as a player in a changing industry Oracle will need to develop products to suit consumers' needs as the environment changes.
Open source software refers to software for which the source code is freely available and distributable. Oracle competes with open source vendors and products, such as the Eclipse IDE, but it also benefits from their existence. Open source software is generally distributed free of charge or for only a small payment, and as such it can provide difficult competition for software producers like Oracle that rely on license fees to drive revenues. However, Oracle also benefits from some open source software. Many of Oracle's products are built on the open source operating system language Linux and as a result Oracle can take advantage of developments made in the open source community. Furthermore, open source extensions to Oracle's products frequently help to add to and experiment with functionality and extensions that are often later incorporated into Oracle's products.
The software industry has undergone consolidation. On October 8th, 2010, Oracle acquired New York-based Passlogix, a provider of enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) software. Passlogix will be added to Oracle's security service business.[7]
From Oracle's standpoint acquisitions have been a way to expand beyond the database software sector. For the industry as a whole, the consolidation trend can be attributed, at least in part, to a slow economy since mid-2007. Oracle can benefit from consolidated the software industry through strategic acquisitions that expand their customer base. The main benefit that acquisitions can provide for Oracle, beyond a more diverse product line, will be revenue provided by the maintenance fees that all Oracle customers pay. As their customer base grows, the number of clients that require their software service increases. With more customers, Oracle has been able to lower prices on software license by keeping software service prices constant. As a result Oracle is able to put pressure on competitors like SAP AG (SAP) through lower license prices while growing revenues.
In 2004 Oracle acquired PeopleSoft, allowing them to penetrate the human resource management software market. They have also acquired Siebel Systems, a leader in customer relationship management software (CRM), Tetik who produces supply chain management software, and ProfitLogic, an India based banking software producer. Most recently, Oracle purchased BEA Systems (BEAS), a producer of middleware, for $8.5 billion.[8] With its June 2009 acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle has now become the world's largest provider of middleware.[9]
|Company Acquired
|Purchase Price
|BEA Systems[15]
|Sun Microsystems[16]
Oracle has optimized its software to run primarily on Unix and Linux based operating systems with most of the software functionality intended to be used through the Java programming language. In doing so, Oracle tied its future to the proliferation of Linux and Unix based operating systems and businesses continuing to base their software on Java. Oracle has also made investments into developing productivity software for the Java platform, which further evidences its commitment to the Java environment. Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the developer of the Java platform, in 2009 is a step towards securing its future on the Java platform.[16]
While Java and Unix/ Linux are the predominant platforms for business software and enterprise development, Microsoft is making a push into this segment. With its Windows Server Operating system and the .Net programming platform, Microsoft is offering a complete solution for businesses that is not based on Unix/Linux and does not rely on Java. The .Net platform is said to have addressed many of Java's shortcomings and businesses are adopting it because it can provide more productive development of business applications. For many businesses this productivity boost is reason enough to switch and is beginning to affect Oracle's market share. Since inception in 2002, the .Net platform has gained market share and represents approximately 4% of software development today. Java represents about 20% by comparison.[17]
The enterprise software industry is made up of a large number of smaller companies that specialize in a specific area of the business. Because Oracle has products in all three of these areas they faces competition from a large number of companies.[18]
Oracle's competition in the Database Software market includes large corporations like IBM and Microsoft along with many small database software companies like, MySQL, Ingres, NCR (NCR), and Progress Software (PRGS). Oracle is however, the clear leader in this market with an estimated 45% market share.[19] In line with their prediction of a more consolidated software industry in the future, Oracle has been strategically acquiring smaller, open source database software producers.
In an effort to become a supplier of everything, from chips and operating systems to databases and business programs, Oracle announced a $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems in April 2009. This acquisition enabled Oracle to stifle its competitors in the database market since MySQL, one of its former competitors, is currently owned by Sun Microsystems. [20]
Oracle is attempting to further penetrate the middleware market through research and development and by acquiring smaller companies in the industry. As with the database software market, Oracle faces competition from a few large companies and a larger number of small companies that specialize within the industry. The main competitors for Oracle in the middleware market include IBM, Microsoft (MSFT), Novell (NOVL), TIBCO Software (TIBX), WebMethods (WEBM), Informatica (INFA), Borland Software (BORL), Cognos (COGN), Business Objects S.A. (BOBJ), and CA (CA). Oracle's position in the middleware market is not nearly as strong as that of the database software market, but the company is making efforts to expand its middleware product offerings. Oracle holds an estimated 8% market share in the middleware business.[19]
Oracle's acquisition strategy over the past three years has helped them in the applications software market. Through their acquisitions of smaller applications software providers Oracle has grown their customer base significantly. Their strategy in this market has been lower licensing fees to compete with SAP AG (SAP), while keeping maintenance fees higher.[19] As such, Oracle is hoping that their increased applications software customer base can bring in significant streams of revenue through maintenance fees. Oracle's competition in this market includes SAP AG (SAP), Microsoft (MSFT), Salesforce.com (CRM), RightNow Technologies (RNOW), JDA Software Group (JDAS), Manhattan Associates (MANH), and McKesson (MCK).

June 15, 2018 - By Michael Leger
Shares of SINOSTEEL ENTEC (SHA:000928) last traded at 1958.4443, representing a move of -0.26%, or -5.1335 per share, on volume of shares. After opening the trading day at 1960.7388, shares of SINOSTEEL ENTEC traded in a close range. SINOSTEEL ENTEC currently has a total float of shares and on average sees shares exchange hands each day. The stock now has a 52-week low of 0 and high of 0.
SSE Composite Index is the index of all stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE).
SSE is one of China's two largest stock exchanges. The other is Shenzhen Stock Exchange. SSE is the second-largest stock exchange in Asia and fifth-largest in the world by market capitalization. SINOSTEEL ENTEC is one of companies included in SSE lists. The exchange is run as a nonprofit organization overseen by China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
The platform is used for trading equities, bonds and funds. Stocks on SSE are grouped into two categories as A Shares and B shares. The major distinction between the two types of shares today is that B shares are priced in U.S. dollar (USD) while A Shares are priced in Yuan (RMB). However, before 2002 A Shares were only available for trading by Chinese citizens, but today the shares are accessible by foreign investors as well and the move to remove the restriction in trading of A Shares partly explains why SEE has become a thriving stock exchange in Asia and beyond. Public availability of company information is one of the reasons why SINOSTEEL ENTEC is still on demand at the market.
Stocks are available for trading on SSE from Monday to Friday unless the markets are closed for holidays such as the Chinese New Year. Trading on SSE starts at 9.15 a.m. for competitive pricing session that runs until 9.25 a.m. After that regular trading begins at 9.30 a.m. and continues to 11.30 a.m. for morning session. Afternoon session resumes at 13.00 p.m. and runs until 15.00 p.m.
SSE resumed operations in December 1990 after more than four decades of a pause. However, trading in shares in Shanghai goes back to 1860s.
With the lifting of the ban on trading A Shares in Shanghai by foreigners, the SSE Composite Index has become an important indicator of the health of China's stock market.
Though SSE Composite Index tracks all listed stocks on SSE, the index has smaller, sharp-pointed units, also called sub-indices. The smaller units are SSE 380, SSE 180 and SSE 50, which are constituted on the basis of market capitalization.
SSE 380 represents top 380 largest Chinese companies by market capitalization on the SSE, while SSE 180 is for the top 180 largest companies on the exchange. SSE 50 on the other hand represents top 50 largest Chinese listed companies on the SSE. A stock must be a component of SSE 380 sub-index to qualify to join SSE 180 sub-index. Likewise, a stock must be a component of SSE 180 to qualify for listing in SSE 50 sub-index.
The sub-indices are designed to bring clarity in monitoring stocks of different sizes on the SSE. It brings clarity into the SINOSTEEL ENTEC operations as well.
The SSE Composite Index base day is December 19, 1990 and its base value is 100. But the index formally launched on July 15, 1991.
SSE Composite Index hit an all-time trough of 99.98 points in December 1990. But the index recovered steadily over the years as China's economy continued to expand to reach an all-time high of 6092.06 points in October 2007.
China's large economy, the second-largest in the world after the U.S., is a major investor draw to Chinese stocks. Investors from across Asian and beyond are jostling for a slice of Chinese equities to bet on the country's bright future as indicated partly by improving consumer incomes and rapidly expanding middleclass population.

Can Households Help Create a Carbon Neutral City?
Seattle hopes to become the world's first climate-neutral city. It's no small task: The City must account for, and reduce, the carbon footprint of everything from transportation to trash for hundreds of thousands of people. City Council President and YES! Magazine board member Richard Conlin is blogging about the city's efforts.
Much of the work on climate change has focused on making major policy or systems level changes that will have dramatic impacts on carbon emissions. Critical as it is to change emissions systems, create new technologies, develop energy efficient buildings, or provide better travel options and renewable energy systems, most such big ideas require pose major barriers to implementation. As the saying might go, 'you can lead a community to a low carbon future, but you can't make them stop emitting carbon.'
But there are lots of actions that people can take that do not require systems change, and may form the best foundation for making systems change happen. In 2009, a group of scientists developed a model for specific actions that people can take without major new technological or policy inventions. They published an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences entitled 'Household actions can provide a behavioral wedge to rapidly reduce U.S. carbon emissions'.
The article suggests that a set of behavioral changes that could be taken right now would reduce US carbon emissions by some 7.4 percent—an amount, they note, "slightly larger than the total national emissions of France." These savings can be realized at a very low cost using current technology and without significant changes in lifestyle.
We can jumpstart our work on a multi-year strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by developing a household- and community-based campaign around these actions. Fortunately, Seattle has a tremendous resource in our community-based organizations that are committed to working on carbon neutrality, and the City can collaborate with these groups to achieve these kinds of victories. And nothing succeeds like success: as people grow more confident about their ability to make change, and as carbon neutrality becomes less of an abstraction and more or an achievable goal, people will become more willing to tackle the big changes and to advocate for local and national policies.
That's a lesson that we have learned from the history of social change endeavors: find ways to empower people and communities, and change will become much more possible.
The article's authors suggest 17 steps in five categories that individuals can take. Some of these can be greatly assisted by community or governmental action (such as weatherization and other home energy reduction steps). They include:
- Reducing the energy used in home heating, including attic weatherization, sealing drafts, installing high-efficiency windows, and replacing inefficient equipment as it wears out.
- Upgrading the efficiency of appliances, equipment, and motor vehicles at the end of their useful life.
- Maintenance, such as changing air filters in HVAC systems and properly maintaining vehicles.
- Adjustments in equipment operation, such as reducing temperatures on laundry facilities and hot water heaters.
- Changes in daily behaviors, such as eliminating standby electricity, carpooling, trip chaining, and line drying.
As pointed out above, the authors note that many of these actions can receive an important boost by governments, through information and incentives. However, they also suggest that adoption will require effective social marketing and networking.
Seattle's work on recycling and waste reduction has demonstrated that much of the positive results we have achieved have been the result of the combination of the effective use of pricing and program design with education and a major community campaign built around the core values of Seattle residents relating to environmental quality and conservation. With an effective and growing movement of many community organizations devoting attention to issues of climate change, we are well positioned to foster community and individual action around the kinds of relatively quick and painless steps cited in this article.
Based on the authors' assessment of a reasonable rate of adoption for the measures they review, they conclude that we could reduce carbon emissions by more than 5 percent in five years, and reach the 7.4 percent target (about 20 percent of household emissions) in ten years. This could not only be a valuable contribution to combating climate change, but a great model for other industrialized countries, and an excellent way to get more people involved in advocating for and embracing the kinds of major changes that we will need to make over the coming decades.
Action to challenge climate change requires major public involvement. Giving people real actions that they can take and using community and social networking to make this a social norm is a vital part of moving towards carbon neutrality. One of our key tasks, then, is to build on the emerging networks in Seattle and help them extend and expand their community engagement activities.
Big transportation projects can contribute to sprawl and increase automobile use—or, they can promote biking, walking, and use of transit. Seattle is working to take the latter path.
What are a city's options for cutting its carbon?
Seattle is working to become America's first climate neutral city. But first, it has to figure out where its carbon comes from.

In addition, Unitaid today announced four new research grants with the Institut Bouisson Bertrand/National Agency for Research on AIDS and Hepatitis, University of Liverpool, University of New South Wales and Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute (WRHI). These grants will gather evidence on the use of new priority antiretroviral regimens for first and second-line therapy in developing countries.
The new initiatives are the latest in a series of investments by Unitaid to improve treatment for people living with HIV. An earlier project with CHAI brought down prices of second-line antiretroviral therapy by up to 60 per cent and got more people on treatment. Even though 18 million people are currently on treatment, which is double the number five years ago, 1 million people still die of HIV-related illnesses.

COREY NAKATANI, REPO, Winner: "Normally she's a good gate filly but she was a little excited last time and she broke so hard that the ground broke out from under her. After that, I just sat and waited and tried to relax her. She showed a lot of courage. Today we got a flyer and the race was over."
JOEL ROSARIO, WELL DESERVED, Second: "The winner almost beat us last time and today she was drawn inside us. The leader got to go pretty slow and also I think the post may have made the difference because my filly was coming on again at the end."
LEANDRO MORA (ASST. TO DOUG O'NEILL), REPO, Winner: "This will bring me old memories from when I used to work for my mentor, Brian Mayberry. He was a great horseman and it's too bad he passed away. He was the best 2-year old trainer on the grounds. It looks like we picked up a little bit from him. The plan today was to be second, but we broke on top of the other one (Well Deserved). I think once (Joel) Rosario felt like he couldn't take the lead, he tried to do the opposite and we just went on. This one is good enough to go for the Del Mar Debutante. She's also Cal-bred, so we can do whatever we feel is right."

The Eagles made a trade with the Cleveland Browns for a wide receiver after all, moving up two spots in order to select Missouri's Jeremy Maclin.
In order to get Maclin with the 19th pick, the Eagles dealt their first-round pick and a sixth-round selection, the 195th pick overall. He is just the second receiver the Eagles have taken in the first round during coach Andy Reid's tenure. The other was Freddie Mitchell in 2001.
Reid said the Eagles didn't expect Maclin to be available when it was their turn to make a pick.
"Actually, we thought he was going to go quite a little bit higher than he did," Reid said. "This was not who we had targeted. He just happened to be one of those guys who fell a little bit and he kind of fell into our lap there."
Maclin, 20, set a single-season school record for receptions with 102 and yards with 1,260. He also scored 13 touchdowns. In addition to his ability as a receiver, Maclin will likely take over as the Eagles' kick returner, a role he did extremely well at Missouri. His 1,346 kick return yards as a freshman were two shy of an NCAA record.
"I just love doing it," Maclin said when asked about returning kicks. "I put a lot of work and film study into it in order to be successful."
Maclin, who declared for the draft after just two seasons at Missouri, was just the third player in NCAA history to average more than 200 all-purpose yards per game.

The question of how to talk to your kids about money--and when--comes up almost as soon as children start talking. They see toys at the store that they want to buy; they pretend to shop with fake credit cards at home. Children as young as two and three might be comfortable with toy cash registers and purses, but for their parents, it's a different story.
According to a new T. Rowe Price survey, parents feel extremely awkward talking about money. As a result, they avoid the topic and even lie about it, misleading their children about their own financial situation and what they can afford.
But children often pick up on subtle cues and tension, which means they're probably learning money lessons even if parents aren't consciously teaching them. The survey revealed that about half of parents said they disagree on financial issues, and about the same proportion of kids said they were aware of that disagreement.
As T. Rowe Price financial planner Stuart Ritter puts it, "Kids are seeing what's going on anyway, and without your context around it, they're going to draw their own conclusions"--so parents might as well start the conversation themselves.
"The Rock," also known as Dwayne Johnson, recently shared a traumatic financial lesson from his own childhood that underscores that point. He recalled (for cameras filming a documentary and reported by TMZ) that when he was 14 years old and living in Hawaii, he and his mother came home one day to an eviction notice. At the time, he says, his family was experiencing tough times, living paycheck to paycheck, and living in a small one-bedroom apartment.
Seeing that eviction notice and watching his mom's reaction crystallized his own commitment to finding success, he says. "I knew if I could build my body, with my own two hands, and I can be somebody, I can control, in a way, my own destiny... I wanted to do my part in making sure we never came home again [to] an eviction notice and a lock on the door," he says.
The Rock's trauma inspired a commitment to building financial security. Other children learn different lessons. Research by financial educator May Ann Campbell has found that young people often repeat the same mistakes as their parents and even grandparents, and that modeling sound financial behavior is one of the best ways to pass down positive money lessons.
Similarly, money and time guru Laura Vanderkam suggests that parents reflect on the money lessons that they do--and don't--want to pass on, and make a conscious effort to rid themselves of any negative habits.
I remember my own parents being very frugal when I was young, and often taking time to explain why we couldn't buy a new toy or other frivolous purchase. They did, however, make an exception for educational materials, and purchased books and workbooks more liberally. Today, I pretty much continue follow their example.
Do you have childhood memories that continue to affect the way you handle money?
