The Dow Jones industrials logged their worst
weekly performance in more than four years as stocks stumbled in the
final session Friday.
The Dow, as it had the day before, poked
tentatively into positive territory before retreating as the yen
furthered its gains and investors failed to shake their unease.

The designer of the MEMS motion sensor in Nintendo's
fabulous game tells how he got into micromachining and where
he's taking it next
........... he wants to make the sensor even smaller, even
cheaper, even tougher. “I want it to fit in all kinds of
places—shoes and textiles, for instance, where it might
be useful for medical monitoring,” he says.
“Then I want to make a three-dimensional gyroscope,
to measure rotation around three different axes. Today,
such products are quite big, a cube 10 centimeters on a
side. We want to do this in less than a 30-millimeter
cube, to serve as an image stabilizer in cameras and to
track a person’s position in the intervals when he can’t
get a GPS signal.”

Software selection and
implementation services have become big business for consulting firms as
well as the software vendors themselves. Even with outside assistance,
selecting the right software for your operation and having a successful
implementation can be an extremely difficult undertaking. Horror stories of
failed ERP system implementations are unfortunately very common. Anyone
that frequently reads business publications has likely read stories where
large corporations, posting smaller than forecasted profits (or losses),
cite problems associated with the implementation of a new software system as
one of the causes. Whether these claims are legitimate or not is up to
debate. What is true, is businesses are highly dependent on information
systems, and failures in the selection and implementations of systems can
result in anything from a minor nuisance to a complete operational shutdown

Warehousing & Distribution

Every warehouse and distribution center is different but, for all, the
key to success is effectively using resources to deliver required
services. Benchmark your facility's performance with a new online
self-assessment tool developed at Georgia Tech with the cooperation of
MHIA's Logistics Execution Systems Association (LESA) and Order
Fulfillment Council
(OFC).

While oil shale is found in many places worldwide, by far the largest
deposits in the world are found in the United States in the Green River Formation,
which covers portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Estimates of the
oil resource in place within the Green River Formation range from 1.2
to 1.8 trillion barrels. Not all resources in place are recoverable;
however, even a moderate estimate of 800 billion barrels
of recoverable oil from oil shale in the Green River Formation is three
times greater than the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia

There are four oil
fields in the world which produce over one million barrels per day.
Ghawar, which produces 4.5 million barrels per day, Cantarell in Mexico,
which produces nearly 2 million barrels per day, Burgan in Kuwait which produces
1.7 million barrels per day and Da Qing in China which produces 1 million barrels
per day. Ghawar is, therefore, extremely important to the world's economy
and well being. Today the world produces 82.5 million barrels per day
which means that Ghawar produces 5.5 percent of the world's daily production.
Should it decline, there would be major problems. As Ghawar goes, so goes
Saudi Arabia.
