First Associates Changes Name to Blackmont Capital: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance
The new name and logo are the result of over a year of research, consulting and design work. Employees across the country were asked to define where they wanted the company to be and what they wanted it to stand for going forward. They wanted the new brand to reflect the new reality of the company: a successful independent investment dealer that continues to attract industry leaders and successful investors.
"Through targeted acquisition and recruiting initiatives, we pulled together a sizable company in a fairly short period of time," explained Stuart Raftus. "We are proud of the solid platform we have built to support both our private client and capital markets businesses. That said, over the past year or so, it became apparent that we had become more than the sum of our parts. We had become a new, united entity. We felt the time was right to put a new name to our investment dealer to more accurately represent the strong, independent, and entrepreneurial firm we have become-and the industry leader we aspire to be."
"As First Associates, we prided ourselves on placing clients' needs first," said Gerry Throop, President, Capital Markets. "As Blackmont, this commitment to clients will remain the cornerstone of our philosophy. Our management team and guiding principles have not changed. But we have grown as a company and needed a new brand to reflect our growing capabilities. Our new brand represents the company we have become and as Blackmont we will achieve our new, powerful ambition of setting the new benchmark for excellence within the industry."

Matrix matrixz 1 8 N x N
Problem Description
A Magic Square is of order N is an NxN matrix containing the integers from1 to N2 arranged so that the sum of each row, column and the corner-to-corner diagonal are all equal. Write a program to create Magic Squares of odd order (1,3,5,7, etc.) up to order 51.
Background & Techniques
For small squares we could use the brute force approach as used in the 3x3 matrix in the rotating sums problem. But recall from earlier exercises that there are X! ways to arrange X numbers and 10! is approaching the upper limit that can be solved quickly (10! is about 3.6 million). This implies that finding the solution by brute force for an order 5 square would require trying up to 25! permutations of the numbers from 1 to 25. Clearly not a practical approach.
Like many puzzles of a mathematical bent, Magic Squares have been studied for hundreds of years. The algorithm used here for odd order Magic Squares was discovered at least 500 years ago. I'll leave it to the reader to search out the pertinent history.
There's the algorithm:
"Start with 1 in the middle of the top row; then go up and left assigning numbers in increasing order to empty cells; if you fall off of the square imagine the same square as tiling the plane and continue; if a cell is occupied, move down instead and continue."
From that statement, the implementation is straightforward. A couple of tricks are applied to the StringGrid used to display the results. The individual cell sizes are adjusted to contain the maximum values for a particular square. The font is set to size 8 if numbers greater than 100 need to be displayed and to size 12 for smaller squares. The C function is used to set the cell width and height for the maximum value at this font size. Finally the overall grid size is adjust to be just large enough to contain the cells (plus gridlines).
The program only has about 60 user coded statements, so we'll classify it as Beginners.
