Oracle President Mark Hurd Joins Twitter, And He Already Has Almost As Many Tweets As Larry Ellison (ORCL)

Oracle co-President Mark Hurd, who's busy revamping Oracle's sales force , has officially joined Twitter, as @MarkVHurd. Hurd hasn't tweeted yet. As of Friday evening East Coast time, Hurd had 78 followers—most of them Oracle employees—and was following 67 other Twitter users. Hurd played tennis at his alma mater Baylor University, and he's following the team on Twitter. But as of Friday, he wasn't yet following his boss, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Jill Rowley, a "social sales evangelist" who joined Oracle in April in its acquisition of Eloqua, was first to welcome Hurd to Twitter on Friday: Welcome to Twitter @ markvhurd ! Our customers are looking forward to your insights. #SocialSelling #SocialBusiness #Transformation @ oracle — Jill Rowley (@jill_rowley) May 24, 2013 Ellison, who joined Twitter last June, has himself only tweeted once . " Oracle's got 100+ enterprise applications live in the # cloud today, SAP's got nothin' but SuccessFactors until 2020," Ellison said in his only tweet since joining. But at least Ellison has a Twitter account. Safra Catz, Oracle's other co-President, doesn't have one. Neither does SAP CEO Bill McDermott. There are at least 25 parody accounts for Steve Ballmer, but he's not on Twitter either. Meg Whitman's last tweet was in October 2011. It seems like top enterprise execs feel like there's more to be lost on Twitter than there is to be gained. We reached out to Oracle for comment on Hur ...

What impresses me is the beauty of the costumes, the athleticism of the dancers, variety of the performances, and the various ethnic groups in China that are represented in the dances. I think when we think of China we usually think of a Han Chinese but there really are a lot of ethnic groups in China and that they are represented in the show."/n[Zeus Preckwinkle, Math and Science Teacher]:/n"I really liked the fact that you get to see so many different aspects of China, and to see the different, different kind of dances and the different, different folk music, and along with classical music.

Neil Bush wrote this op/ed about a week ago but, in light of all the help needed now in Oklahoma, it caught my attention: Bush: Value of service serves individuals, U.S., well By Neil Bush | May 17, 2013 | President Barack Obama evoked the ideals of American citizenship in his address to the class of 2013 at Ohio State University this week, beckoning graduates to “participate, and to persevere” as the actors, not the audience, in our democracy. He detailed the great challenges of our time in education, in infrastructure, in the environment and in the criminal justice system, and he matched each of those challenges with a call to serve. My father, George H. W. Bush, and all the presidents after him – Democrat and Republican – have shared this faith in the energy and goodness of the American people, and in the value of service. For Dad, service took him many unexpected places. It summoned him and his crew mates to the skies over the Pacific Ocean in World War II. It took him to Capitol Hill, Beijing and eventually the Oval Office. More recently, it placed him shoulder-to-shoulder with an old political adversary and now great friend, President Bill Clinton, after the Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Ike. Dad channeled his deepest faith in the American citizen through Points of Light, now the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service.

President Obama is One Lousy Socialist!

From today’s NYT : In the 84 years that the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index has been calculated, it doubled during the terms of only four presidents before Barack Obama’s election in 2008. This month that number rose to five as the index climbed to more than twice what it was when he took office. That’s right, folks, the S&P 500 is up 105% since the President took office, way more than most of the presidents on the list below. And yes, he started from a low base, the Fed’s been goosing the markets, and there’s not nearly as much connective tissue between presidents and stock markets in the first place. But as the sayin’ goes, I’m just sayin’… Go ahead and subtract 10% inflation off of that 105% (that’s the growth in the CPI over this period) and you still have the stock market crushing the growth of the weekly paycheck of the typical worker, up 0.8% in real terms over these years. That’s not a typo…not 8%, but 0.8%. Less than 1%. And that’s not Obama’s fault either—he’s proposed a lot of good ideas to improve the job market, lower unemployment, and boost paychecks. But Congressional conservatives have blocked them, while busily protecting the wealthy from tax cuts and financial market regulations. But man, with socialists like that, who needs capitalists.

Green Party Activist and Founder of Code Pink Medea Benjamin Heckles President Obama

Published on the Ballot Access News website on May 23rd: Medea Benjamin, a Green Party activist, and the party’s U.S. Senate nominee in California in 2000, is the subject of many news stories on May 23. She was in the audience at President Obama’s speech to the National Defense University, and she interrupted the President with questions about why he doesn’t close Guantanamo Prison and related matters. See this story, one of many. Also this story talks about how she gained admittance to the room. Here is a you tube of what Benjamin said. In 2000 she polled 326,828 votes for U.S. Senate in California, 3.08%, placing third in a race with seven candidates on the ballot. An excerpt from the first article, by Aaron Blake, published in the Washington Post May 23rd: President Obama had a run-in with a heckler on Thursday, when a founder of the anti-war group Code Pink interrupted his speech on drone policy and other national security issues. Toward the end of Obama’s address, a woman identified in the White House pool report as Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of the anti-war organization Code Pink, implored the President to close the Guantanamo Bay prison and otherwise criticized his foreign policy. Through three separate episodes, the President traded words with the woman, asking her to let him finish and succeeding — at least momentarily — twice. “Why don’t you sit down, and I will tell you exactly what I’m going to do,” Obama said, en ...
