Charlotte Brontes classic novel Jane Eyre is narrated by the title character, an orphan who survives neglect and abuse to become a governess at the remote Thornfield Hall.

[*] Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë [John F, jenieliser, MsAstoria]
Emily Brontës only novel, published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.
Now considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared, with many horrified by the stark depictions of mental and physical cruelty. Though Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre was originally considered the best of the Brontë sisters works, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that its originality and achievement made it superior.

[*]Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence [caleb72, Latinandgreek, lila55]
A quote:"Sons and Lovers was the first modern portrayal of a phenomenon that later, thanks to Freud, became easily recognizable as the Oedipus complex. Never was a son more indentured to his mother's love and full of hatred for his father than Paul Morel, D.H. Lawrence's young protagonist. Never, that is, except perhaps Lawrence himself. In his 1913 novel he grappled with the discordant loves that haunted him all his life--for his spiritual childhood sweetheart, here called Miriam, and for his mother, whom he transformed into Mrs. Morel. It is, by Lawrence's own account, a book aimed at depicting this woman's grasp: "as her sons grow up she selects them as lovers--first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother--urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can't love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives."

[*]Lady Chatterly's Lover by D.H. Lawrence [caleb72, doreenjoy, montsnmags]
From one source:
"Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned for a time in both the UK and the US as pornographic. In the UK it was published in unexpurgated form in 1960 after an obscenity trial, where defense witnesses included E.M. Forster, Helen Gardner, and Richard Hoggart.
"Printed privately in Florence in 1928, it was not printed in the United Kingdom until 1960. Lawrence considered calling this book Tenderness at one time and made significant alterations to the original manuscript in order to make it palatable to readers. It has been published in three different versions."
And from the Wik:
"The publication of the book caused a scandal due to its explicit sex scenes, including previously banned four-letter words, and perhaps particularly because the lovers were a working-class male and an aristocratic female..."
This is an important novel, as both literature and social commentary.

[*]Outlander by Diana Gabaldon [voodoo_pepperweb, inkyness, bjones6416]
In Outlander , a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don't let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It's one of the fastest reads you'll have in your library. While on her more »second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn't all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she's never known before. I was lame and sore in every muscle when I woke next morning. I shuffled to the privy closet, then to the wash basin. My innards felt like churned butter. It felt as though I had been beaten with a blunt object, I reflected, then thought that that was very near the truth. The blunt object in question was visible as I came back to bed, looking now relatively harmless. Its possessor [Jamie] woke as I sat next to him, and examined me with something that looked very much like male smugness." Gabaldon creates characters that you'll remember, laugh with, cry with, and cheer for long after you've finished the book. --Candy Paape Absorbing and heartwarming, this first novel lavishly evokes the land and lore of Scotland, quickening both with realistic characters and a feisty, likable heroine. English nurse Claire Beauchamp Randall and husband Frank take a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands in 1945. When Claire walks through a cleft stone in an ancient henge, she's somehow transported to 1743. She encounters Frank's evil ancestor, British captain Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall, and is adopted by another clan. Claire nurses young soldier James Fraser, a gallant, merry redhead, and the two begin a romance, seeing each other through many perilous, swashbuckling adventures involving Black Jack. Scenes of the Highlanders' daily life blend poignant emotions with Scottish wit and humor. Eventually Sassenach (outlander) Claire finds a chance to return to 1945, and must choose between distant memories of Frnak and her happy, uncomplicated existence with Jamie. Claire's resourcefulness and intelligent sensitivity make the love-conquers-all, happily-ever-after ending seem a just reward. Doubleday Book Club main selection, Literary Guild alternate.

[*] The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro [lila55, John F, inkyness]
Description: The novel's narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious of the real life that goes on around him -- oblivious, for instance, of the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, more »there are even larger matters at stake in this heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel -- namely, Stevens' own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence. Greeted with high praise in England, where it seems certain to be shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Ishiguro's third novel (after An Artist of the Floating World ) is a tour de force-- both a compelling psychological study and a portrait of a vanished social order. Stevens, an elderly butler who has spent 30 years in the service of Lord Darlington, ruminates on the past and inadvertently slackens his rigid grip on his emotions to confront the central issues of his life. Glacially reserved, snobbish and humorless, Stevens has devoted his life to his concept of duty and responsibility, hoping to reach the pinnacle of his profession through totally selfless dedication and a ruthless suppression of sentiment. Having made a virtue of stoic dignity, he is proud of his impassive response to his father's death and his "correct" behavior with the spunky former housekeeper, Miss Kenton. Ishiguro builds Stevens's character with precisely controlled details, creating irony as the butler unwittingly reveals his pathetic self-deception. In the poignant denouement, Stevens belatedly realizes that he has wasted his life in blind service to a foolish man and that he has never discovered "the key to human warmth." While it is not likely to provoke the same shocks of recognition as it did in Britain, this insightful, often humorous and moving novel should significantly enhance Ishiguro's reputation here.

[*]A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold [pdurrant, pholy, doreenjoy]
from Baen: Lord Miles Vorkosigan, youngest Imperial Auditor to be appointed by the Emperor since the Time of Isolation, has a problem all his new power can't solve: unrequited love for the beautiful Vor widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson. Ekaterin is violently allergic to marriage as a result of her first exposure. But as Miles learned from his late career in galactic covert ops, if a frontal assault won't do, go to subterfuge. He has a cunning plan . . .
Lord Mark Vorkosigan has a problem: his love for the sunny Kareen, daughter of Commodore Koudelka, has just become unrequited again. But if all his new money can't solve their dilemma, perhaps a judicious blending of science and entrepreneurial scheming might. He has a cunning plan . . .

[*]A Room With A View by E. M. Forster [montsnmags, Nyssa, bjones6416]
This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England. A charming young English woman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza. Attracted to this man, George Emerson--who is entirely unsuitable and whose father just may be a Socialist--Lucy is soon at war with the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires.
Back in England she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor, and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between convention and passion.
The enduring delight of this tale of romantic intrigue is rooted in Forster's colorful characters, including outrageous spinsters, pompous clergymen and outspoken patriots. Written in 1908, A Room With A View is one of E.M. Forster's earliest and most celebrated works.

[*]Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen [CO'Neil, VioletVal, Nyssa]
A fully illustrated version of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". This is the fully proofed first-edition text of the book, with 24 full page illustrations by C.E.Brock added.
Plot summary from Amazon:
Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly by its captivating wisdom.
Illustrations are used, with thanks, from http://www.mollands.net and http://www.solitary-elegance.com. Both these web sites are great resources for all fans of Jane Austen!

[*]The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway [sun surfer, lila55]
The Sun Also Rises first appeared in 1926, and yet it's as fresh and clean and fine as it ever was, maybe finer. Hemingway's famously plain declarative sentences linger in the mind like poetry: "Brett was damned good-looking. She wore a slipover jersey sweater and a tweed skirt, and her hair was brushed back like a boy's. She started all that." His cast of thirtysomething dissolute expatriates- more »-Brett and her drunken fiancé, Mike Campbell, the unhappy Princeton Jewish boxer Robert Cohn, the sardonic novelist Bill Gorton--are as familiar as the "cool crowd" we all once knew. No wonder this quintessential lost-generation novel has inspired several generations of imitators, in style as well as lifestyle. Jake Barnes, Hemingway's narrator with a mysterious war wound that has left him sexually incapable, is the heart and soul of the book. Brett, the beautiful, doomed English woman he adores, provides the glamour of natural chic and sexual unattainability. Alcohol and post-World War I anomie fuel the plot: weary of drinking and dancing in Paris cafés, the expatriate gang decamps for the Spanish town of Pamplona for the "wonderful nightmare" of a week-long fiesta. Brett, with fiancé and ex-lover Cohn in tow, breaks hearts all around until she falls, briefly, for the handsome teenage bullfighter Pedro Romero. "My God! he's a lovely boy," she tells Jake. "And how I would love to see him get into those clothes. He must use a shoe-horn." Whereupon the party disbands. But what's most shocking about the book is its lean, adjective-free style. The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's masterpiece--one of them, anyway--and no matter how many times you've read it or how you feel about the manners and morals of the characters, you won't be able to resist its spell. This is a classic that really does live up to its reputation. --David Laskin The publisher is using these two perennial favorites to launch its new Scribner Paperback Fiction line. This edition of Paradise marks the 75th anniversary of the smash 1920 first novel that skyrocketed Fitzgerald to literary stardom at the ripe old age of 23. Several years later, The Sun (1926), Hemingway's own first novel, performed an identical service for him at age 26. The line will eventually include additional titles by these giants as well as works by Edith Wharton, Langston Hughes, and other greats. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

It is interesting.
Though I nominated The Sun Also Rises, I am voting for A Room With A View. I'd love to read either one and both are on my long list of books to eventually read.
Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre are both amazing books, two of my favourites actually, but I've already read both of them in the last few years and I've also read Pride & Prejudice which is also very good. If any of those three end up being the choice, I'll be happy since they're all so good, but will refrain from joining the club for another month because I'm not big on re-reading them so soon.
Besides those three though, whichever selection is chosen I will try to read...as my first month being part of this, it will be fun to see what happens!

I agree - a very interesting poll. There're only two books on it I probably wouldn't read if they won (no, I'm not saying which ones ), so unless they "win" I guess I'll be participating this month. A very nice selection, people, thanks.

So where does this book club take place? I've seen the voting before but never the discussion.
Does everyone just discuss the book as they're reading it or wait until they're done?
With the exception of two, I would read any on the list. Some don't sound too exciting by description, but I suspect there is more to them.
Outlander - I read a bit more than half before I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Sons and Lovers - Ummm ... not.

There's little in the list I'd normally opt for ... I have read none of the titles (not even Sons and Lovers which turns up on so many English Lit classes). But I opted for A Room with a View because Forster's writing is so gorgeous, if melancholy.

I'm completely torn between my three nominations.
I think "Sons and Lovers" might be a better read for me than "Lady Chatterley's Lover". However, I feel that the latter is probably a better match for the theme this month. Perhaps I pushed a bit too hard against the boundaries of the theme for "Sons and Lovers".
Alternatively, it's difficult to pass up the opportunity for a Hemmingway now that the opportunity has arisen. On the other hand, I would need to buy Hemmingway, whereas the others I alread have as Public Domain.
Maybe I'll dwell on it a little longer and make my decision at the last possible moment.

Actually - just looking at the votes so far, I don't think I would have a problem with "A Room with a View" either.
I was going to use my 3rd nomination for that, but it was already fully nominated.

I nearly memorized a few of these in my adolescence, so I'm picking one that I've read, but not over and over. The only one I haven't read is the Bujold.

The only ones I haven't read are Sons and Lovers and the Bujold. I love D.H. Lawrence so I wouldn't mind reading S&L. I'd happily re-read Lady Chatterly's Lover.
IMO some of the nominated titles don't qualify as romance, but no one asked me.

I'm wondering how anyone can vote for the author of one of the worst books ever written. E. M. Forster wrote A Passage to India. It was and is one of the worst books I've ever read. So reading another book by Forster would be akin to having cut one ear off and then going to cut the other off.

Which flash drive would be recommended for carrying my medical record, living will and power of attorney with me on my person and/or in the vehicle?
Would it be recommended to be water, fire and static proof ?
Flash drives are not reliable. If it's just to transfer the documents from one PC to another, that's fine, but it should not be used for long term storage. Make sure you have several backups - HDD, CD, DVD, etc.
As riider states, reliability of flash drives are comparatively low compared to other forms of media. If you're going to store something that important, I'd suggest multiple copies of high-quality optical media and storing them in a fireproof safe and other locations so if one copy fails, the other(s) can be retrieved quickly. Remember, optical media storage ideally should be 62-70 degrees F. and 35-50% relative humidity.
"Channeling the spirit of jboy..."
Thank you both! I will heed your advise.
Just be sure you have your heart attack when you are at
home with the safe open, so the people who need your
records will be able to find them.

Cal wins, learns from win over UNLV
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- It was a night of lessons learned for California.
The Golden Bears corrected their mistakes and played like they did in the month of February at HP Pavilion to upset No. 5 seed UNLV 64-61 in an NCAA tournament rematch from earlier in the season.
[Related video: Cal-UNLV firstname.lastname@example.com]
In December up in Berkeley, Cal allowed talented freshman Anthony Bennett to stuff his NBA resume full of highlights during a 76-75 loss. Thanks to a mix of zone defense, ball denial and double-teams, the Bears limited Bennett to just 4-of-11 shooting in the 2nd round game on Thursday night.
"I don't know if we took him out per se, but we were certainly more aware of him. We basically said, 'Let's not let the ball be passed to the low post,'" head coach Mike Montgomery said. "At our place it seemed like he made every shot but he didn't make all of them tonight."
After seeing a long buzzer-beater from Utah send their Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinal game into overtime, Montgomery opted to foul up three to prevent a repeat.
In fact, Cal did it twice with under 10 seconds left on the clock just to be sure.
"That would have been solved if we had made free throws," a somewhat disgusted Montgomery said after the team went just 7-of-16 from the line. "We talked about [being up three] in practice. The problem was we didn't use as much time as I would have liked to use."
Can't learn everything in one night apparently. There's still Friday's practice ahead of their next game on Saturday vs. the winner of Syracuse-Montana.
Still, there were plenty of things that made this Cal team look like the one that won seven in a row to finish second in the Pac-12. Guard Justin Cobbs was just 4-of-13 from the field but contributed five rebounds and six assists.
"You can't always rely on your scoring so you try to make sure you get your teammates involved," the junior said. "Our big men had their hands full so I made sure to go down there and grab a few rebounds to help out."
Little used Robert Thurman had the heavily Gold and Blue-laced crowd on its feet often in the 2nd half, scoring eight straight at one point on his way to a 12-point effort that consisted entirely of put-back dunks.
"For most guys that are 6-foot-7, it's not that hard to dunk. I just got lucky because Justin and Allen [Crabbe] really penetrated well," Thurman said. "They're a big threat when they get there and I was wide open underneath the rim."
"We have players that can go off on any night," Crabbe added. "I feel like our bigs don't get a lot of credit. Once we get them involved, they can finish for us. We showed tonight what they can do offensively. They played great on both sides of the ball."
The Cal performance was also a lesson learned for the NCAA Selection Committee. The Pac-12 went 3-0 to open the 2nd round and became the first conference to ever advance advance two 12 seeds in the same tournament. Despite returning from Las Vegas on a two game losing streak, the Bears controlled the game after going on a 17-9 run to open the 2nd half and avenged their earlier loss to the Rebels.
"It shows you that our conference is tough," Cobbs said. "It's tough from top to bottom. Teams are playing well right now. All that bad press we got before wasn't true."
"I can't imagine there being a better conference than the Pac-12. Across the board, all sports. It's just the way we approach things," Montgomery continued. "I hope the league continues to do well. It was a good conference this year."
There are certainly a few folks sitting at home with busted brackets that learned as much Thursday night in the Bay Area.

Reginald Goodall's prowess in Wagner has been immortally realized with his ground breaking recording of the 'Ring' that is now safely enshrined in Chandos' superb Opera in English series. This recording of the Bruckner 8th is awesome and monumental in scale and lasts almost 90 minutes, quite an outstanding achievement on all counts. The recording is very clear and Goodall's unerring grasp of the score is beautifully realized.
The opening Allegro moderato is wonderfully played with a deep sense of mystery and nostalgic beauty with the BBC Symphony responding superbly to Goodall's impassioned direction. The Scherzo is also taken at quite a slow pace but that adds to the grandeur and mystery of the music. To my mind, Goodall's Adagio surpasses all his competitors except Karajan and Furtwängler who also had a knack of pacing this movement perfectly, and Goodall pulls out all the stops for a hair raising Finale that is truly in the 'great' class all along.
The couplings are equally valuable. A beautifully emotive and luxuriant 'Tristan und Isolde' Prélude rubs shoulders with an equally impressive rendering of the Wesendonck Lieder with Janet Baker on top form throughout. As I already said, the recordings are truly excellent and this issue should serve as a fine memorial to Reginald Goodall's outstanding conducting and understanding of the German late-romantic repertoire.

SGA Senate made wrong call on recent vote
April 3, 2014
Filed under OPINION
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
It was just last September when President Judy Bonner said, regarding Greek system integration at The University of Alabama, "I am empowering our students to do the same thing that our students did 50 years ago [when some student leaders helped Vivian Malone and James Hood break the color barrier at UA]. I have great confidence that our students are going to do the right thing, and they are going to do the right thing in the right way. I am very confident that you will be proud." Unfortunately, she would be wrong about that.
In its last session of the term, the SGA Senate did exactly the opposite of what the UA President had confidence her students could do: the right thing.
In that session, Sen. Katie Smith proposed a resolution that would have supported "complete integration" of the UA Greek system. The resolution began by praising the "positive contributions" Greek letter organizations make to the UA community and commending their "tradition of scholarship, civic responsibility and philanthropy." It continued by noting that, "in spite of these positive contributions, there is a distinct and also unique portrayal of a number of Greek organizations at The University of Alabama as having membership defined on the basis of one's race," and that numerous national media outlets have reported at length on this "stigma."
In an effort to remove this stigma, the resolution concluded, "The Senate supports the complete integration of all Greek letter fraternities and sororities at The University of Alabama, with respect to social diversity among its membership."
As a senator who attended that meeting and voted in support of Sen. Smith's resolution, I'd love to continue this story by saying that the resolution passed unanimously and, like all pieces of legislation that were passed this term, the entire body applauded. But that would have been the right thing to do.
Instead, Sen. Smith was essentially scorned as she read the resolution aloud. Immediately after she finished reading, she was bombarded with hostile questions and comments. One senator methodically related diversity statements from fraternity charters with UA chapters until everyone noted the contemptuous point. Another asked if Smith had proof that the Greek system remained segregated and asked her to name specific sororities that remained segregated.
Finally, the very notion of there existing a negative national stigma about the UA Greek system was questioned, as if the questioning senator had lived under a rock for the last year (or 50). By the time a senator made a motion for suspension of the rules for immediate consideration, the fate of the bill was sealed. Twenty-seven senators killed the resolution by mockingly "sending it to committee" (in the last session, that means the bill dies; nothing rolls over to the new term).
Remarkably, SGA Senate resolutions have no power whatsoever to do anything except make a statement reflecting the stance of the Senate and, hopefully, the student body whom the senators represent. Yet, a majority of the SGA Senate in 2014 could not seem to get behind a stance in favor of "complete integration." It doesn't really matter what organization the resolution was referring to – one would think that integration would continue to be a worthy cause.
Instead, the Senate did the wrong thing in the wrong way by denying the mere existence of a race problem on this campus and denying that everyone outside the campus can see it. UA will deservedly continue to receive negative national attention until we as students and administrators are at least able to open our eyes and see that it is there. As a famous English writer once said, "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."

Train riders are supposed to benefit from the CTA service changes that start Sunday. Six of the eight train routes are supposed to see more trains during rush hour. Going Public compares the new train schedules to the current train schedules and finds that not all train riders will benefit from these changes but many will.
>> Blue Line
From 7 to 9 a.m., there were be two more trains that leave Forest Park and head north than there are now. From 7 to 9 a.m., there will be three fewer trains that leave O'Hare and head south. Instead, three more trains will depart from Jefferson Park.
>> Brown Line
The same number of trains (14) will leave the Kimball stop to the Loop from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. The number of trains leaving the Loop and heading to Kimball from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. will decrease from six trains to four.
>> Green Line
The same number of trains will leave the Ashland/63rd station heading north between 8 and 9 a.m. as there are now (four). The number of trains leaving the Cottage Grove station from 8 to 9 a.m. also will not change (three). The number of trains leaving Harlem/Lake and heading eastbound and southbound between 7:10 and 8:30 a.m. will increase from 10 trains to 11 trains.
>> Orange Line
Orange Line trains heading north will see an additional train between 3 and 5:30 p.m., and an additional train heading south from Clark and Lake between 4 and 6:20 p.m.
>> Purple Line Express
There will be one additional train that runs during morning rush and one that runs during afternoon rush.
>> Red Line
The intervals between trains decrease during the afternoon and late evenings from 8 to 9 minutes to 7 to 8 minutes.

The CDCUN1208LP is a 2:8 fan-out buffer featuring a wide operating supply range, two
universal differential/single-ended inputs, and universal outputs (HCSL, LVDS, or LVCMOS) with edge
rate control. The clock buffer supports PCIE gen1, gen2 and gen3. One of the device inputs includes
a divider that provides divide values of /1, /2, /4, or /8. The CDCUN1208LP is offered in a 32 pin
QFN package reducing the solution footprint. The device is flexible and easy to use. The state of
certain pins determines device configuration at power up. Alternately, the CDCUN1208LP provides a
SPI/I2C port with which a host processor controls device settings. The
CDCUN1208LP delivers excellent additive jitter performance, and low power consumption. The output
section includes four dedicated supply pins enabling the operation of output ports from different
power supply domains. This provides the ability to clock devices switching at different LVCMOS
levels without the need for external logic level translation circuitry.

The following blog entry was written by David Bruce, an IBM marketing manager responsible for Power enterprise systems. He works with Power Systems marketing and development teams to help identify and communicate the capabilities and benefits of IBM Power enterprise systems to clients.
In my previous blog post, "Power Systems Delivers the Balance Today's Businesses Need," I talked about how IBM Power Systems is a fit-for-purpose architecture with a balanced design that adapts to your business needs instead of making the business adapt to the technology.
In this post I want to further explore the idea of technology adapting to the business by examining how Power Systems architecture adapts for systems of record and systems of engagement.
So you might be first asking yourself, "What are systems of record or systems of engagement?" and "How does this apply to scale-up or scale-out applications?" First, let me briefly describe these terms:
- Systems of record--These are the core business systems where you keep all of your customer data and where all of the base processes to run your business reside (e.g., general ledger, inventory, production systems, CRM system, ERP system, analytics systems, etc.). A system of record must be reliable, always available, scalable and secure. These attributes align well with enterprise-class scale-up architecture. They offer flexible capacity, built-in redundancy and minimize risk by simplifying management and reducing the number of interfaces between systems and software layers where intrusions often take place.
- Systems of engagement--These systems are fundamentally social. They are used to engage clients, are customer-focused and, importantly, they encourage collaboration. This includes mobile, social, analytics and web applications. Systems of engagement align well with scale-out or scale-up architecture.
Many authors suggest that businesses are shifting from systems of record to systems of engagement. Is that really true? What company wants their inventory records, warehouse control systems or payroll to be driven through social or collaborative applications? And, conversely, when you're using a smartphone to check the availability of an item you want from a retailer, should you have to understand the warehouse structure, item lead time and traverse the order management system to see how many orders are ahead of you?
Reality is that we need both and we're not favoring one in place of the other. We need systems of record to make sure our businesses run in an orderly and predictable way. We need systems of engagement to mask the complexities of business processes and engage the customer in a way that is appealing to them. These systems are not perfect substitutes for one another.
Infrastructure Matters
As systems of engagement become business critical, they need some of the attributes of systems of record. They need to be secure, available and they need to integrate with back-end systems of record. Customers expect more today. What good is a system of engagement that runs as an island without connection to enterprise data and other systems of engagement?
To make these systems work for your customer and for your business, you need a flexible architecture. One approach is to select a platform for every type of application or work that you need. This approach can lead to having dozens of different management systems with many layers of software whose sole purpose is to connect two systems together. Another approach, likely a better one, is to select an architecture that adapts to the requirements of both back-end systems and customer engagement systems.
Power Systems architecture fits that description. It has long been known for its scale-up characteristics of being reliable, secure and always available, with high performance and excellent data management. Now with the announcement of the new POWER8 scale-out servers, the Power Systems platform adds community innovation, designed for big data and open and collaborative to that list of characteristics. These are ideal attributes to meet the needs of both systems of record and systems of engagement. And now with a scale out line-up that is designed for mobile, social, analytics and cloud work, businesses have the advantage of choosing a single architecture with flexible operating systems and flexible scale-out and scale-up deployment modes that can integrate across the enterprise. IDC's recent paper, "Innovations to IBM Power Systems for the Virtualization, Multitenancy, and Cloud Demands of the 3rd Platform," offers additional exploration of this topic.
Think about how that could work. Your ERP and CRM systems are running on an enterprise Power server as a system of record. You need a social, customer-facing system to offer mobile access through the cloud and integrate real-time analysis of social and company data into a customer interaction (transaction). Slide in a new POWER8 scale-out server with for the system of engagement. POWER8 technology gives you the ability to analyze the data in real time and provide suggestions or input to the customer during the engagement. You have confined your mobile and cloud applications to the scale-out server, offering an additional layer of isolation from your ERP and CRM systems. PowerSC is watching to make sure your virtualized environment is secure and compliant. PowerHA is managing your systems of engagement to fail-over to your enterprise Power server if necessary. Want to do that on your existing system? Take advantage of a Power IFL as the system of engagement and it works the same way. What other architecture offers this level of flexibility and integration, and can be managed with a single set of platform skills?
How is your business ensuring that these systems of engagement for mobile and social applications are secure, reliable and integrated across the enterprise? I would love to hear your stories on how the Power Systems platform is helping you in today's mobile and social environments.

For those who are interested in the details of how the TradeRadar Alert HQ software generates its lists of picks, this post will try to explain it in a way that is easily understandable by all.
The basic TradeRadar signal --
The proprietary TradeRadar signal analyzes price data to determine if a stock has reached a minimum price level and has then started a move upward that is significant enough to be considered a BUY signal. The mathematical properties of the TradeRadar approach cause a spike to be displayed on a chart if the signal is strong enough. For a SELL signal, things work just the opposite: a peak price level is looked for and falling prices may then cause the signal to be generated.
The software checks the strength of the signal and also determines if it is a clear signal. The signal strength is a very important indicator of whether the signal is significant or not. The Signal-to-Noise ratio is calculated to measure how sloppy or well-formed the signal looks. Both of these measurements are presented in percent for easy readability.
Because the software generates a spike on a chart, it is useful to measure how narrow the spike is. A narrow spike is a more definitive signal. A statistical technique called Kurtosis is used to measure narrowness.
The spike generated by the TradeRadar software is the indicator that shows we have a potential BUY or SELL signal. The software not only measures how high the spike goes but also whether it falls below a certain level as the shape of the spike is formed. This is referred to as the measurement of the trailing edge. When the spike falls below that level, the signal is said to be "in the zone"; either the BUY zone or the SELL zone. The signal may remain "in the zone" until the next change in trend occurs.
At this point, an example would be useful. Below is a chart of Apple (AAPL).
The trendlines are in yellow in the upper chart. The SELL signal spike is clearly visible in red in the lower chart. The "zone" is marked by the horizontal green line in the lower chart. Note that the SELL signal fell "into the zone" three weeks ago.
Trend Lines --
The software generates trend lines. As many investors know, when a trend changes direction, it is considered a reversal. In other words, when an up-trend turns into a down-trend, we have a reversal and a corresponding SELL signal. Conversely, when a down-trend turns into an up-trend we have a reversal that corresponds to a BUY signal. The TradeRadar software calculates trend lines and determines how steep the trends are and in what direction the trends are moving. This is an important part of the overall alert definition. The software requires that the trend lines meet certain criteria for steepness. How a new up-trend differs from the original down-trend, for example, is an important measurement as well as how steep from the horizontal the new trend is. In other words, for a BUY signal, we like a trend that is moving up quickly and steeply.
Moving averages --
The software calculates two moving averages: the 20-day exponential moving average and the 50-day moving average. They can be seen as the green and blue lines in the upper chart in the example above. To generate an alert we require that the last price be above the 50-day moving average.
As an added feature, the software tests whether the 20-day MA has crossed the 50-day MA. For a BUY signal, it checks whether the 20-day has crossed above the 50-day. For a SELL signal, it checks whether the 20-day has crossed below the 50-day. If the crossover has occurred, it is considered a confirmation of the TradeRadar signal. This information is provided for each stock in the alert list.
Daily data, weekly signals --
Alert HQ uses daily price data to generate the TradeRadar charts and signals. Alert HQ provides signals on a weekly basis. As a result, it needs to verify that the signal fell "into the zone" within the last week. Specifically, the software checks to verify that the signal fell at least 20% "into the zone." This ensures that the move is reasonably significant.
There are many stocks that remain in the zone for weeks or months at a time. Each week Alert HQ identifies only those stocks that have fallen "into the zone" during the most recent one week time period.
There is no reason that signals based on weekly data cannot also be generated. An alert list based on weekly data is indeed one of the initiatives we are pursuing for the very near future.
Conclusion --
Alert HQ is intended to provide an early warning of stocks that are reversing their trends. I hope this post has been able to shed some light on the methods we use to generate our lists of alerts. Knowing what goes into generating a signal will, I hope, reassure you about our methods and encourage you to try one of our lists. They can purchased each week at TradeRadar Alert HQ. And there is no requirement to subscribe.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
VIENNA, Va. – The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network today released its First Quarter 2012 Update of mortgage loan fraud suspicious activity reports (MLF SARs) that shows California, Nevada, and Florida leading the nation in the number of MLF SAR subjects per capita. Of the 50 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) ranked by the number of MLF SAR subjects reported, the top nine are MSAs located in California, Nevada, and Florida, with the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana area ranked first in the nation.
Nineteen percent of Q1 MLF SARs report activity that occurred within the past two years. Of this more recent activity, there were sharp increases in debt elimination schemes (14 percent of this reporting in Q1 2012 versus 9 percent in 2011) and other foreclosure rescue scams (8 percent of these Q1 filings versus less than 2 percent in 2011). Financial institutions filed 17,651 MLF SARs in the first quarter of 2012 down from 25,485 filed in the same quarter of 2011. Previous record levels were attributable to mortgage loan repurchase demands prompting reviews of dated mortgages. This trend continues, though diminished, as 72 percent of Q1 filings still report suspicious activity that occurred more than four years ago.
"We must remain vigilant against criminals trying to take advantage of struggling homeowners and markets trying to recover," said FinCEN Director James H. Freis, Jr. "Suspicious activity reports (SARs) reported to FinCEN are a tremendous tool to flag new criminal techniques, trends, and patterns, and to help identify and hold accountable those involved in organized and repeated criminal schemes."
Echoing similar results from 2011, 41 percent of those transactions were spotted and stopped before completion indicating the increased awareness and vigilance of financial professionals.
As an example of a newly reported suspected criminal activity, a financial professional suspected arson on a rental property insured for several times the mortgaged value. The subject repaid his mortgage loan with insurance proceeds and pocketed the additional insurance money.

In this six-session Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Lynn Cowell explores how confidence-in-question keeps us from boldly experiencing what God intends for our lives. Dive into six stories in the Bible of not-so-well-known women who found themselves needing confidence to make their move, and how they uncovered the faith to get it. Lynn encourages women to leave behind all the unnecessary insecurity this world induces and find confidence in God alone.
Learn from the Daughters of Zelophehad, the Women of Exodus, the Sisters of Bethany, Rahab, Debora, Abigail and Michal how to:
- Intentionally build your confidence on the one thing that cannot be taken from you.
- Recover from defeating decisions to move forward toward a strong self-worth.
- Position yourself to not lose your poise—even in the worst circumstances.

At the Nintendo booth, owners of the Nintendo DS system could pop on by a designated hotspot and put their DS into Download Software mode to grab a few free treats for their game unit. Polarium, Electroplankton, and Meteos demos, as well as the classic Table Hockey and Submarine Tech Demos and Legend of Zelda screens and movies were available for download at Nintendo's E3 area.
A cool idea, sure. When it worked.
The first day of E3 is usually the most crowded. And I've realized that Nintendo's booth is the most trafficked booth at E3. Combine those two, and multiply that by one area with dozens of Nintendo DS systems transmitting and receiving signals in a focused area, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
The huge amount of wireless traffic in that area caused several disconnects of my Nintendo DS systems before a real connection could be made. Eventually I was able to snag the Legend of Zelda Image Gallery after a two minute download, and the Electroplankton Beatnes music toy a bit more quickly than that. But that's after countless disconnects from the noisy RF interference of the show floor.
Unfortunately, some titles don't go into sleep mode when players close up their system. Submarine Tech Demo and the Zelda Image Gallery specifically drained the battery because the unit wouldn't Sleep. Oh well, it's free.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expected to face more widespread protests during Saturday's 1-0 win over Norwich.
Wenger will reach 20 years in charge of the Gunners in October, but the last of his three league titles came in 2004 and some fans held up "time for change" banners at Emirates Stadium.
"I thought the whole stadium would be white (with posters)," he said.
"One target is to keep 100% of people happy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do that this season."
Saturday's win took Arsenal above Manchester City – who the Gunners face at Etihad Stadium on Sunday – into third place in the Premier League table.
After fifth-placed Manchester United's 1-1 draw against leaders Leicester on Sunday, Arsenal need two more points to effectively secure an 18th consecutive year of Champions League football next season.
Against Norwich, a minority of supporters made their feelings known in the 12th and 78th minutes of the match – reflecting the 12 years since Arsenal were last champions.
Others responded with backing for the team and their French manager, who had earlier claimed his commitment to the Gunners had helped the club secure the loans required to finance the building of the Emirates.
"I am a football man. I am not a politician," added Wenger, 66.
"I am not in a democracy. I am in the next game, perform, try to do as well as you can and accept people's opinions.
"I think I can take that. I am in a public job and I have to live with judgement as long as it is respectful."
Wenger's contract with Arsenal runs until the end of the 2016-17 season, but he says he has no plans to emulate the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson before his retirement as Manchester United manager in 2013.
Wenger said: "You don't spend 19 years at a club – like Sir Alex Ferguson spent 26 years – without every minute of your time. You give your whole life for that and try to do as well as possible.
"There are disappointed people because we didn't win the league. Believe me, we are as well. We have to come back and win it and that is all we can do."
