Taking data storage, scalability and application performance to a nifty level using SOA Application Grid infrastructure will no doubt enhance data and application performance on Oracle architecture platforms, it also has the promise of a cost effective and efficient IT delivery model. The very benefits of SOA.

YELLOWPAGES.COM Data Reveals Holiday Season Also Busiest Season for Plumbers
* Internet Yellow Pages and Local Search Site Sees Spike for Plumbing- Related Businesses and Services in November and December

PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Turkey, sweet potatoes and a whole lot of plumbing woes. As cooks nationwide serve up everything but the kitchen sink this Thanksgiving - and later shove it all down the drain and disposal - they'll help kick off the busiest plumbing season of the year, according to YELLOWPAGES.COM, a leading Internet Yellow Pages and local search site referenced monthly by millions of households across the country.

YELLOWPAGES.COM, owned jointly by AT&T and BellSouth, today released data revealing that more people search for plumbing businesses and services in November and December than in any other months of the year. Combined, the two months accounted for 36 percent of searches to plumbing-related headings in 2005, with December representing the single busiest time with 19 percent of the year's total searches.

"Our search data provides a colorful window into what businesses Americans turn to at various times of the year," said Charles Stubbs, president and CEO, YELLOWPAGES.COM. "Beyond early-bird specials and mistletoe, it appears the holiday season also brings with it a tendency to gunk up the pipes."

"It starts at noon before Thanksgiving dinner and continues through Friday," said Mike Haddad, owner of FMCO Plumbing in Pasadena, Calif. Haddad expects his plumbers to service 40 to 50 kitchen sinks on Thanksgiving, and the same number on Friday. On a normal day, FMCO unclogs 10 to 15 sinks.

The main culprit, according to Haddad, is grease, followed by egg shells, potato peels and celery fibers.

"All of December will be busy," Haddad said. "Everybody wants to finish their big cooking projects before the holidays."

The YELLOWPAGES.COM Network is on track to receive more than 1 billion consumer searches for local information this year.
