For the most recent quarter, N/A analysts weighing in on Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) had predicted that the company would report earnings per share of $N/A for the period ending on N/A. On N/A, the firm reported actual earnings of $N/A for fiscal QN/A representing an EPS surprise amount in per share dollar terms of $N/A. Just prior to the release, analyst's estimates had a standard deviation of N/A.
Looking ahead to the next fiscal quarter, Wall Street analysts are expecting earnings per share of N/A for the period closing on N/A. This is the Zacks Consensus estimate calculated as the arithmetic average of all the individual analyst EPS estimates according to their own proprietary methodology (BNRI Accounting). Investors are expecting that Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) will issue their earnings release on or around N/A. In comparing the results to the same quarter a year ago, the firm posted earnings of $N/A for the period which endend on N/A.
Analyst Sentiment
Leading up to the next earnings announcements investors should pay close attention to the analysts sentiment on the stock and which direction they are revising their estimates. Over the past 6 months N/A sell-side analysts have lowered their long term earnings per share estimates on the stock. During that same period N/A analysts have increased their earnings expectations for the firm. So what does this mean? Typically if a large percentage of analysts lower their revisions, the company is more likely to disappoint the Street. If a large number of brokerage firms increase estimates prior to earnings, the company is more likely to impress with their numbers.
Looking ahead to long term projections, Zacks has calculated a long term mean estimate of N/A. This is the best estimate for both revenue and earnings over the next three to five years. Three months ago this number stood at N/A.
Analyst Price Targets
Now turning to where analysts believe Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) shares are headed. According to the N/A analysts covering the shares, the consensus price target stands at $N/A. The standard deviation of all estimates is $N/A. The most aggressive analyst on the name has a price target of $N/A. The analyst with the most bearish outlook on the stock has a target price of $N/A. The latest analyst revision was recorded on N/A.
Each of the N/A covering analysts have also provided a Buy, Sell or Hold recommendation on the stock. As of N/A, N/A have a Strong Buy rating on the stock, N/A have a Buy rating, N/A have a Hold rating and N/A have a Sell or Strong Sell. Taking a look back three months ago to compare sentiment, at that time N/A had a Strong Buy, N/A had a Buy, N/A had a Hold and N/A had a sell rating.
Zacks breaks all of the recommendations down into a integer based number in order to get an average recommendation rating on the stock.

SOHO Vendors Penetrate Business
December 09, 2004
A new survey indicates that IT people are buying products from consumer/SOHO product makers -- which isn't surprising to the vendors.
In a new survey of pre-qualified IT administrators done with the purpose of figuring out WLAN equipment requirements in businesses today, In-Stat-MDR found some unsurprising results—that Wi-Fi networks are becoming an integral part of business networks—and one apparent surprise: a majority of IT people admit to using equipment from consumer/SOHO vendors in their networks.
"You don't think of Linksys, D-Link, or Netgear as a traditional [enterprise] WLAN equipment provider," says In-Stat analyst Sam Lucero. "But those businesses with more than a thousand employees, in response to the question of 'what are you using,' 32 percent of the responses said Linksys. 12 percent said D-Link, 9 percent said Netgear. Even 5 percent said Belkin."
That said, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise. Linksys is owned by Cisco, the largest seller of networking equipment in the world, both wired and wireless. The Cisco logo is found on every box Linksys sells.
It may boil down to how one looks at the market. Retail sales don't automatically equate to selling to consumers, after all—a person can walk into Best Buy and pick up an access point for their office just as easily as for their home network.
While companies like Belkin and Linksys seem to stick primarily with the home market, both Netgear and D-Link have been working hard to bolster their position with businesses— at least on this continent.
D-Link media relations manager Darek Connole says, "Outside of North America, we're known as a switch vendor. We're the switch company. It's only in North America where we're a home networking company. We want our business plan here to be seen as by the rest of the world."To that end, the company launched a major program in November with value added resellers (VARs)
"We have a subset of our product line that we consider business class that is only sold through distribution in the channel," says Robert Robinson, director of business channel sales for D-Link. "It's a solution sell."
"There's a big area of business—not quite small-to-medium businesses, not enterprise —that's where we dominate," says Connole of his company's wired switch business. Wired sales are obviously starting to grow for them in this area.
Last week, for example, D-Link announced the AirPremier 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless Adaptive Access Point with AP Clustering (model DWL-2210AP). This unit, which does load-balancing and uses "adaptive clustering" to self-configure by communicating with other DWL-2210APs in the area, won't be sold at retail at all. Only through VARs.
Does that mean an inexperienced IT person couldn't go into a retail store and buy D-Link's latest product, a home router with Gigabit Ethernet switch and Atheros-based 108Mbps 802.11g that gives priority to gaming traffic? Of course not, but Connole is confident that such confusion is minimal. "People playing online games, they understand that stuff," he says, so hopefully IT does, too. He also stresses that while it's pushing into business, D-Link has no plans to leave home networks behind, and offers this gaming router as evidence.
Confusion between what vendors believe and what IT believes continues, however. Lucera says, "Vendors assure me that with 11i and AES and whatnot, the security issue is less of a concern. But our survey results say that among those who refuse to put in a WLAN, security is the top reason." In other words, security was more of an issue for them than simply not needing a WLAN. Even among the IT people who do have an existing wireless network, security is still the top issue for 41 percent of them, followed by roaming, range, and ease of implementation.
In-Stat's report, "Security Is Paramount: Analysis of Business WLAN Customer Requirements," is available now.

Cora Bailey Recipients 2017
The Cora Bailey Award is presented to an RWTO member who has contributed outstanding service to her Branch. The committee is honoured to name Marie Blazic as the recipient of the 2016-2017 Cora Bailey Award.
Marie is a retired Peel District high school Language and Literature teacher. It's not surprising that she belongs to a book club. She loves the outdoors and belongs to a walking group. Marie is an active member of the Sierra Club, working on matters of public policy and environmental awareness. Marie is also an active member of Brampton Go Green, an initiative looking at the percentage of green space in our community.
Since the fall of 2009, Marie has been treasurer of Peel North RWTO. Her dedication to the role of treasurer is obvious. At each monthly general and executive meeting, we see Marie entering the room with a cart full of documents. She spends most of her time at meetings talking to new members, completing registrations and collecting money.
Marie's job does not end when the meetings end. Marie spends countless hours keeping accurate financial records, making bank deposits, preparing cheques for various charitable and memorial donations. She promptly reimburses members for expenses they have incurred on behalf of the association. She prepares and submits financial reports for our monthly general meetings and an annual report to the Provincial office. Marie also prepares the annual budget for executive review and approval.
She has represented Peel North RWTO at the convention in Sault Ste Marie. This year, Marie is again representing our Branch in Ajax at the convention.
Congratulations, Marie! We hope you will continue to be a valued member of our association.

Now that this year's Imagine Cup World Finals is over, we've had a chance to reflect on all of the amazing young people we met during the exciting week in Seattle. Though all of the teams were impressive, we feel compelled to acknowledge some of the female student developers who are helping change the face of the competition.
Not only did we have three all-girl teams this year, but 18 of the 34 teams that competed included young women. This may not seem like an especially large number, but computer science is a field that has long been dominated by males. We hope the increase we've seen in young women participating in the Imagine Cup is a sign of what's to come.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 17.6 of computer science bachelor's degrees were given to women in 2011. Many girls don't think of computer science as a viable career option, even though it is one of the fastest growing fields in the world. To see increases in the numbers of female developers at Imagine Cup is exciting.
The inspirational young women on the three female teams showed the world what girls with a passion for programming can accomplish and they are helping change the perception of what a developer looks like.
Meet Team AfriGal Tech from Uganda. These four young women created a life-saving app in the World Citizenship category. Their solution mDex detects sickle cell anemia through a mobile phone! As software engineering students, they wanted to combine their love for technology with affordable medical solutions. They are currently raising money and hope to have the product on the market by next year. We caught up with them to ask what it was like to be a young woman at Imagine Cup.
"It was so exciting to be in a competition that is thought to be for males," said Rebecca Arono, the lead developer for AfriGal Tech. "We are writing code that solves real global problems and proving that ladies can do this too."
In addition to showing off their project, Imagine Cup showed them the importance of serving as mentors to other young female developers. "We want to tell the girls out there not to let anyone influence their thoughts or decisions," continued Rebecca. "Seek advice and inspiration from ladies who have made it in the tech industry."
Team Butterfly from Bahrain won third place in the Innovation category. The team of two young women is working to bring technology into the fashion world. They used hardware and software to make a nail polish color creator that can mix a one-time application of any color instantly. Alaa Abdulraheem and Marwa Buhaila are working on bring their product to market while finishing up school.
"We were very proud to show the whole world that girls can build their dreams and make their dreams come true," said Alaa. "Any woman can achieve what any man can if she believes in her idea, trusts her skills and works very hard. Never give up ladies!"
We also spoke to Team I Copy You from Qatar who competed in the World Citizenship category. These young women made a robot that helps kids with autism by attracting attention and capturing movements. They said the Imagine Cup was a life-changing experience.
"We received so much support and encouragement," said Wa'ed Hakouz. "Imagine Cup gave us the opportunity to show that we can be creators and helpers and the limits of creating and help are not bound by gender or age."
"To the young women out there, we say 'Go for it!' Believe in what you know and work hard and you will earn incredible recognition."
We agree! Closing the computer science learning gap is important for the success of today's young women. In the United States alone, there are projections of 1.5 million computer science-related jobs by 2018. In order to fill those jobs, we encourage both men and women to learn these skills. This year's female competitors were shining examples of what is to come, and we hope to see the numbers continue to rise!

Preface and Introduction Summary
The preface to Daniel Ladinsky's translation of Hafiz's poems, entitled "The Gift," describes Hafiz as a poet who has inspired some of the world's greatest poets and who attained a level of intimacy with God only equaled by such men as Rumi, Francis of Assisi, Ramakrishna, Lao-Tzu and the like. Hafiz invites people into the same intimacy, to be liberated from the fear and guilt-driven control of organized religion and instead become engrossed in a surrendered, celebratory friendship with the Infinite. Ladinsky points out that, over Hafiz's life, he wrote between five and seven hundred poems, but that an unknown number of them were destroyed by a fundamentalist Islamic leadership who believed it was blasphemy for anyone to claim intimacy with God. According to Hafiz, God is too powerful and benevolent to need to resort to intimidation or condemnation...

All North American rights to Charles Ferguson's 2007 Sundance Film Festival doc "No End in Sight," have been jointly acquired by Red Envelope and Magnolia Pictures, the companies officially announced Thursday. Magnolia's head Eamonn Bowles and Head of Business Affairs, Jason Janego along with Bahman Naraghi, Head of Red Envelope Entertainment negotiated the deal with John Sloss from Cinetic Media. The film will open in New York and Washington, D.C. on July 27th and expand nationwide the following week. Written and directed by Ferguson, the film, which took the Sundance best doc prize, focuses on the policy informing the decisions behind the occupation. The film "unflinchingly paints a jaw-dropping picture of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality." "'No End in Sight' is remarkable, a stirring, perfectly assembled catalogue of the almost unimaginable short-sightedness that passed for strategy in Iraq," commented Bowles in a statement. "This film is a must see for anyone who cares about how American government has conducted itself and where we're going as a country." [Brian Brooks]
