...could get from a Super Ball. The image is an apt way of describing the bounce in the market for supply chain management software in 2010. The worldwide market for supply chain management software applications, maintenance and services, or SCM, came in at $6.755 billion in 2010, including applications for procurement software, and nearly $4.6 billion without procurement, according to Chad Eschinger, a research director with Gartner (www.gartner.com). That’s an impressive 10% bounce over 2009. “It was a good, up year,” Eschinger says. That’s a bit of an understatement given that 2009 had posted a 1.9% decline over prior year revenues, the first year-overyear drop in revenues for SCM software since Modern began publishing an annual Top 20 list in 2001. When it comes to market leadership, 2010 reminds us of the lyrics from that old Billie Holliday song, “God Bless The Child:” “Yes, the strong gets more, while the weak ones fade.” The market leaders look much the same as they did in 2009, with SAP ($1.317 billion) and Oracle ($1.21 billion) still at the top of the list and posting impressive gains over 2009. They were followed by JDA Software ($362 million), Manhattan Associates ($136 million) and RedPrairie ($94 million), according to Gartner’s analysis. If there was a surprise, it was that Manhattan was once again atop RedPrairie; the companies had switched places in 2009 following Manhattan’s decline in revenues. Back then, Eschinger noted that despite the decline, he believed Manhattan...

...Notes on Song of Solomon 2 0 1 4 E d i t i o n Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction TITLE In the Hebrew Bible the title of this book is "The Song of Songs." It comes from 1:1. The Septuagint and Vulgate translators adopted this title. The Latin word for song is canticum from which we get the word Canticles, another title for this book. Some English translations have kept the title "Song of Songs" (e.g., NIV, TNIV), but many have changed it to "Song of Solomon" based on 1:1 (e.g., NASB, AV, RSV, NKJV). WRITER AND DATE Many references to Solomon throughout the book confirm the claim of 1:1 that Solomon wrote this book (cf. 1:4-5, 12; 3:7, 9, 11; 6:12; 7:5; 8:11-12; 1 Kings 4:33). He reigned between 971 and 931 B.C. Richard Hess believed the writer is unknown and could have been anyone, even a woman, and that the female heroine viewed and described her lover as a king: as a Solomon.1 How could Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3), be the same faithful lover this book presents? He could be if he became polygamous after the events in this book took place. That seems a more likely explanation than that he was polygamous when these events occurred and just omitted reference to his other loves. Probably he wrote the book before he became polygamous. We do not know how old Solomon was when he married the second time. The history recorded in Kings and Chronicles is not in strict chronological order. The Shulammite was probably not Pharaoh's daughter in view...
