Romantic drama combines with humor, starpower combines with lavish spectacle and the walls come tumbling down! This Academy Award?-winning* extravanganza's street-splitting, brick-cascading, fire-raging recreation of the cataclysmic earthquake remains "one of the greatest action sequences in the history of the cinema, rivalling the chariot race in both Ben-Hurs" (Adrian Turner, Time Out Film Guide). Clark Gable plays rakish Barbary Coast kingpin Blackie Norton. Jeanette MacDonald portrays a singer torn by her love for Blackie and her need to succeed among the operagoing elite. Earning the first of nine career Best Actor Oscar? nominations,* Spencer Tracy is a priest who supplements spiritual advice with a mean right hook. He urges Blackie to change. But if love and religion can't reform Blackie, Mother Nature will.

"San Francisco, open your Golden Gate...." If the classic city anthem isn't part of your life already, it will be after a viewing of this 1936 hit, a wonderful blend of cornpone, spectacle, and song. It's set in 1906, the year the earthquake flattened much of Baghdad by the Bay. Like the disaster movies that followed (including In Old Chicago, a Fox cash-in from a couple of years later), San Francisco slowly establishes its characters before unleashing the destruction. Clark Gable is Blackie Norton, a cocky and ruthless Barbary Coast character whose heart is--well, not softened, but at least dented by the arrival of an opera singer (Jeanette MacDonald) looking for a job. He hires her for his rowdy club, while his childhood chum, Father Tim Mullin (Spencer Tracy), disapproves. As they would subsequently demonstrate in Test Pilot and Boom Town, Gable and Tracy have great he-man rapport together (Blackie's rampant maleness is challenged only by the fact that he knows the priest could punch him out). Director W.S. Van Dyke (The Thin Man) keeps everything cracking along, except for those moments when Cultcha rears its head and MacDonald sings an aria. When the quake hits, and the fire follows, the movie uncorks some really quite awesome special effects, including the unforgettable image of a street heaving up and separating under people's feet--much superior to the disaster effects in The Last Days of Pompeii, made just a year earlier. Needless to say, this could only be MGM in its heyday, laying on the big budget, an acceptable level of naughtiness, and a dose of religious turnaround in the end. It worked then; it still does. --Robert Horton

The much-anticipated SanFrancisco Application Business Components product from IBM provides a platform-independent infrastructure and ready-built components for constructing business applications. SanFrancisco is one of largest software projects based on Java technology, providing Common Business Objects that can be used in many different application domains and Core Business Processes that each address a specific application domain. SanFrancisco(tm) Design Patterns documents the design patterns identified as part of this ambitious multidomain development effort.

Design patterns are the heart of SanFrancisco. Whether building a business application in SanFrancisco or from scratch, the patterns identified in this book will help you build flexibility, power, and strength into your business applications. This book follows the format established by the seminal Design Patterns, with a case study providing a business context for patterns running throughout the book. The authors focus on the generic use of these patterns, using SanFrancisco as an example.

With this book as your guide, you will learn how to use and extend these patterns within the context of a business application's requirements. SanFrancisco(tm) Design Patterns explains the purpose, design, and implementation of patterns in the following categories:

Foundational patterns, which provide an underlying structure for all SanFrancisco-based business objects and produce mechanisms for creating business objects, changing behavior, and constructing business processes. Behavioral patterns, which describe various methods of incorporating flexible algorithms throughout a business application. Structural patterns, which focus on how business information is organized and accessed throughout a framework or application. Process patterns, which define how businesses organize and process information. Dynamic behavioral patterns, which support the structural and behavioral transformation of business objects throughout their lifecycles. These transformations include the addition and removal of attributes and capabilities (methods).

With the recent increase in available computing power, new computations are possible in many areas of arithmetic geometry. To name just a few examples, Cremona's tables of elliptic curves now go up to conductor 120,000 instead of just conductor 1,000, tables of Hilbert class fields are known for discriminant up to at least 5,000, and special values of Hilbert and Siegel modular forms can be calculated to extremely high precision. In many cases, these experimental capabilities have led to new observations and ideas for progress in the field. They have also led to natural algorithmic questions on the feasibility and efficiency of many computations, especially for the purpose of applications in cryptography. The AMS Special Session on Computational Arithmetic Geometry, held on April 29-30, 2006, in San Francisco, CA, gathered together many of the people currently working on the computational and algorithmic aspects of arithmetic geometry. This volume contains research articles related to talks given at the session. The majority of articles are devoted to various aspects of arithmetic geometry, mainly with a computational approach.
