"Java Generics and Collections" by Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler : O'Reilly
This is one of the first books on the Java Generics and Collections libraries. The book in question is - Java Generics and Collections, by Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler from O'Reilly Media. I picked up this book to understand the usage of the new generic and collection libraries.
The book is divided into 2 parts. The first part covers the introduction to Generics: Subtyping and Wildcards; Comparison and Bounds; Declarations; Evolution, Not Revolution; Reification; Reflection; Effective Generics; and Design Patterns
The Second part is all about Collections. The topics covered are - Collections: The Main Interfaces of the Java Collections Framework; Preliminaries; The Collection Interface; Sets; Queues; Lists; Maps; and the Collections Class.
The book is good read for beginner to intermediate programmers who have been working with Java and now want to start using the Generics and collections. Code examples cover what is wrong with the older model and how the new libraries fix the problem.
Overall a must have book for any serious Java programmer.

Earliest known instance of Open Innovation
Malnutrition was rampant among the 18th century French armed forces. As Napoleon prepared for his Russian campaign, he searched for a new and better means of preserving food for his troops and offered a prize of 12,000 francs to anyone who could find one. Nicolas Appert, a Parisian candy maker, was awarded the prize in 1809.
Although the causes of food spoilage were unknown at the time, Appert was an astute experimenter and observer. For instance, after noting that storing wine in airtight bottles kept it from spoiling, he filled widemouth glass bottles with food, carefully corked them, and heated them in boiling water.
The durable tin can--and the use of pottery and other metals--followed shortly afterwards, a notion of Englishman Peter Durand. Soon, these "tinned" foods were used to feed the British army and navy.

Journey of a Leader
The following parable gives some insights into the journey of a leader:
No Zen student would presume to teach others until he had lived with his Master for a minimum of ten years. Tenno, having completed his ten years of apprenticeship, acquired the rank of Teacher. One day he went to visit the Master. It was a rainy day, so Tenno wore wooden clogs and carried an umbrella. When he walked in, the Master greeted him saying, "You left your wooden clogs and umbrella on the porch, didn't you? Tell me, did you place your umbrella on the right side of the clogs or on the left? Tenno was embarrassed, for he did not know the answer. He realized he lacked awareness. So he became a student and labored for ten more years to acquire constant awareness.

SATYAM SCAM (FIASCO)
A Lot of criticism has been linked on the said scam fudging of the books and rate of auditors. It appears no doubt there is collusion with the auditors and the management and they blindly signed the accounts without verifying the balance in the banks. The matter is under investigation and true facts will emerge after re-verifying the figures appearing in the accounts in near future.
It appears that the major portion of the equity is held by the FII's and promoters stake was only 8.61% in that 8.27% was pledged to the institutions. Thus negligible portion i.e 0.37% only was the stake of the present promoters. No doubt there is checks and balances in corporate governance but in this case they have foiled the blame game going on.
But the investors who have a major investments in equity incurred heavy losses instead of blaming others must get the balance sheets and other accounts checked by there senior staff to avoid huge losses.
The amount to be spent in safeguarding there interest is negligible and the management and auditors will also be under check and they will be investigating the customers more prudently and there investments will be at the considerably lower risk though risk altogether is un avoidable.
