	San Francisco Oracle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oracle of the City of San Francisco, also known as the San Francisco Oracle, [1] was an underground newspaper published from 1966 to 1968 in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of that city.
		The Oracle combined poetry, spirituality, and multi-cultural interests with psychedelic design, reflecting and shaping the countercultural community as it developed in the Haight-Ashbury.
		It was arguably the outstanding example of the psychedelic aspect of the countercultural press, noted for experimental multicolored design, and involving many of the most significant San Francisco-area artists of the time, including Bruce Conner and Rick Griffin.

	San Francisco Renaissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term San Francisco Renaissance is used as a global designation for a range of poetic activity centred around that city and which brought it to prominence as a hub of the American poetic avant-garde.
		This reading signalled the full emergence of the San Francisco Renaissance into the public consciousness and helped establish the city's reputation as a centre for countercultural activity that came to full flower during the hippie years of the 1960s.
		Hence, given that much of the late-'60s wave of groundbreaking rock music developed within rock's famous "San Francisco Sound," it seems very likely that the writers of the San Francisco Renaissance had an influence on the lyrics, both artistically and in terms of attitudes to living.

	Oracle throws weight behind open source
		SAN FRANCISCO -- Oracle Corp. made significant strides in the Java and open source communities at JavaOne this week, taking a leadership role for a key Java specification and announcing that it will spearhead several projects to further the Eclipse open source development effort.
		The fact that Sun Microsystems Inc. is sharing this position in the Java Community Process means that Oracle will play a key role in shaping the EJB 3.0 persistence model, "which includes delivering the reference implementation," she said.
		JSF, a standard that both Oracle and Sun are working on, simplifies the development of user interfaces for J2EE applications by encapsulating event and state management in the component itself, making them reusable.

		Oracle, he said, "would have more development dollars going into the issues customers care about" because it won't be spending advertising dollars trying to recruit new customers to the PeopleSoft product line.

		SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle Corp.'s fiscal first-quarter earnings matched analyst expectations as the business software maker continued to digest its recent acquisition of PeopleSoft Inc. and prepared to devour another longtime nemesis, Siebel Systems Inc.
		Earlier this month, Oracle struck another blockbuster deal, a $5.85 billion agreement to buy Siebel Systems, based in San Mateo, Calif. After completing that acquisition early next year, Oracle is counting on Siebel to increase its profit by an additional $100 million to $150 million annually.
		With the acquisitions, Oracle hopes to mount a more formidable threat to SAP AG's market leadership in business applications software — the computer coding that automates a wide range of administrative tasks.
