from the desk of Jane Christenson, Deputy City Administrator, City of Redmond, WA...

Hi Bob, Just a quick follow-up on this with a few more details. HCL held its Inauguration Ceremony last Wednesday. As is customary, the business organized the logistics and publicity, including press release, for its opening event. As a major international company, with offices in Redmond, as well as in Raleigh, NC and Rochester, NY, the company’s growing presence in the United States has been a national success story for its innovation and its capacity for job creation. In addition to your blog and the Seattle Times, HCL’s move to Redmond was announced in the Wall Street Journal, Puget Sound Business Journal’s Tech Flash, Redmond Patch and numerous other media venues. The City is delighted to have HCL become part of the community and looks forward to a long and thriving relationship. On your last question, HCL located at 14980 NE 31st Street, Suite 300, here in Redmond. I hope this is helpful.

Nasdaq-100 weighting of four local stocks have changed when Apple weighting was reduced by 8.16%, from 20.49% to 12.33%. 

Microsoft’s representation on Nasdaq-100 will more than double, rising to 8.3 percent from 3.4 percent.

The four local stocks:

• Microsoft's new weighting is increased 4.91% from 3.41% to 8.32%
• Google's new weighting increased 1.59%
• Starbucks new weighting decreased by 0.79%
• Costco's new weighting increased by 0.47%

The new listing will better reflect the market value of Microsoft and other companies, according to Nasdaq.
