First Associates Changes Name to Blackmont Capital: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

2005-09-16T16:56:00.000-07:00

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

2005-02-19T11:03:00.000-08:00

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.

2004-09-07T04:59:00.000-07:00

The purpose of this document is to describe a proposed new management and operations plan for PLANET CATERING (the Planet)

This initiation seeks the commitment of the Planet, M. Shane David and Key Staff. The plan while general at this time will support the needs of the Planet, M. Shane David and the existing key staff members. With many possible strategies and the real desire to culminate much individual experience, discussion, research and lobbying over the years by the Planet and M. Shane David, we propose to create in a team environment new goals and directions for the Planet. Within this plan lies a new corporate structure or joint venture arrangement having real ownership for the Planet, M. Shane David and Key Staff members.

The essence of the plan is in the personal standards of the management team, the quality of the staff we build, the procedures, the service standards and ultimately the client’s perception of the deliverables. The Plan is dedicated to developing staff through training and will do so in part by providing all operations, orientation, sanitation, recipe and procedural manuals. The benefits of such a plan include the efficient use of resources and a plan that is more apt to produce the desired results. The primary goal of the plan is to structure a program that both operates efficiently and generates enough sales to meet and exceed the corporation's goals.

With our mutual acceptance of this strategic plan and desire to produce a preliminary operations guide, a document will be drawn up that outlines in detail, the “Company” the exact time lines, operations schedules and including a memorandum of understanding.

Delivering world class whole natural food catering, products and entertainment services to clients primarily based in downtown Calgary is a realistic goal. In order to build the Planet into the profitable, market-oriented corporation it seeks to become, one of its most urgent needs is strong management planning and control coupled with a marketing program dedicated to sourcing new markets while delivering excellence of service to existing clienteles. A well thought out and documented plan that takes into account the state of the industry, the Planet’s current position in the industry, and the Planet’s goals.
.
Looking forward from September 2004, our vision is to become the leading Calgary catering organization. Our values are to conduct business with integrity, to develop staff through training, to provide our customers with top quality products and services leading to long term alliances with our clients and to mutual success and growth.
To do this, a strong, highly organized and efficient catering team must be in place when the marketing plan goes into action. A comprehensive plan requires looking at today's needs and those that are likely to develop in the near future as a result of more exposure and more sales. The long-range sales goals and sales team-operating plan should be considered so that strategies and internal systems will not become obsolete.

Marc's Outlook on Productivity: "I listen to the Wall St. Journal every morning on Audible.com. Thursdays are one of my favorite days because I get to hear Walt Mossberg's Personal Technology column. Regular readers know I think Mossberg is one of the best writers we have on technology and how it impacts our everyday life.
Today, he weighs in with the opinion that GMail, Google's new ad-supported e-mail offering (still in beta), is 'a little creepy' and may infringe on consumers' privacy or be misused by Google and/or the government sometime in the future. These are not new observations and my point here is not to debate the merits of this opinion.
What I found interesting, and indicative of why Mossberg has become the dean of tech writers, is the spin he puts on his analysis. Rather than calling for the immediate death of GMail, he suggests instead that Google offer GMail without ads on a subscription basis to provide consumers with the choice of whether their incoming mail is scanned to display relevant advertising messages. What a brilliant alternative to the draconian fear-mongering some privacy advocates and misguided legislators have been guilty of!
Good call, Walt."

Fool.com: The 6% Solution [Motley Fool Take] April 15, 2004

2004-04-16T15:01:00.000-07:00

Fool.com: The 6% Solution [Motley Fool Take] April 15, 2004: "Imagine that you and the seller agree on the price of the house at, say, $200,000. You then ask the seller for a 6% seller concession. What this means is that you add (up to) 6% to the price of the house. That's right, you're now going to pay $212,000 for that house -- but the seller is going to give you that $12,000 back when the sale takes place. You're going to use that money to cover all of your closing costs."

If we pretend for a moment that those costs add up to precisely $12,000, then what you've done is folded those closing costs into the mortgage. Points, title search, recordation fees, and all other closing costs -- most of which are not tax-deductible -- have effectively been included in your mortgage. Since your mortgage interest is tax-deductible, these costs have effectively become tax write-offs.

In addition, you don't have to come up with all that extra cash at settlement. Your down payment will be somewhat higher (if you're putting down 20%, then in the current example your down payment would be $42,400, versus $40,000) and, of course, your mortgage payments will be higher, but it ends up saving you money.

The seller has no reason to refuse this -- after all, the agreed-to price is still the same.

The catch with the 6% solution is that the house has to appraise for the higher value. If the appraiser comes back and tells you that this house won't appraise for more than $200,000, you can't do it.

Let's look into this a little further. Say you buy the house for $200,000. Your $40,000 down payment leaves you needing a $160,000 mortgage. You get a 30-year loan at 8%. Your monthly payments for principal and interest are $1,174.

Now, say you decide to use the 6% seller concession strategy. You buy this house for the price of $212,000. You put down 20%, and this leaves you needing a $169,600 mortgage. Your monthly payments will be $1,244, or $70 more per month. Is it worth it?

To begin with, many people aren't going to feel an enormous pinch paying the extra $70 per month -- not nearly as much as they would feel having to fork out an extra $12,000 all at once to cover closing costs. But, what about the fact that now you have to pay this extra money over the course of 30 years? Well, over the course of 30 years, you're paying $25,200 more for that extra $12,000 ($70 more per month x 12 months in a year x 30 years = $25,200).

However, remember that's $12,000 less out of your pocket at the time of closing. If you take $12,000 and invest it at 10% (less than the market average has returned over the past 35 years), then your money will grow to more than $200,000 (before taxes) at the end of 30 years. So, in this scenario, it can be well worth it.

Naturally, you'll want to run the numbers for your particular loan to see whether it would be worth it for you.

Fool.com: Is Whole Foods Overvalued? [Commentary] April 15, 2004: "One analysis of Whole Foods
Some quick analysis of Whole Foods' financial statements provides us with the pieces needed for the discounted cash flow analysis. The company's fundamental business model is pretty clear: It finances growth in stores from the cash flow that it generates. In the last five years, cumulative cash flow from operations has been $923 million. In the same time period, Whole Foods used $877 million to develop new stores, acquire other companies, and upgrade existing stores. The store count has increased from 87 in the beginning of 1999 to 146 today, and square footage has more than doubled from 2.1 million to 4.6 million.
Since 1999, the company has grown sales from $1.5 billion to $3.1 billion, a 16% annual growth rate. Indicating that it has ample cash to fuel the growth of its business, it just initiated a small dividend last year. At $0.60 per share for a total of just over $35 million per year, the dividend is not a significant factor in its valuation, but it does indicate that management feels the operating cash flow is more than enough to fund growth"

Google Technology

2004-04-01T08:24:00.000-08:00

Google Technology: "Why Google's patented PigeonRank� works so well
PigeonRank's success relies primarily on the superior trainability of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia) and its unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial orientation. The common gray pigeon can easily distinguish among items displaying only the minutest differences, an ability that enables it to select relevant web sites from among thousands of similar pages.
By collecting flocks of pigeons in dense clusters, Google is able to process search queries at speeds superior to traditional search engines, which typically rely on birds of prey, brooding hens or slow-moving waterfowl to do their relevance rankings.
When a search query is submitted to Google, it is routed to a data coop where monitors flash result pages at blazing speeds. When a relevant result is observed by one of the pigeons in the cluster, it strikes a rubber-coated steel bar with its beak, which assigns the page a PigeonRank value of one. For each peck, the PigeonRank increases. Those pages receiving the most pecks, are returned at the top of the user's results page with the other results displayed in pecking order.
Integrity
Google's pigeon-driven methods make tampering with our results extremely difficult. While some unscrupulous websites have tried to boost their ranking by including images on their pages of bread crumbs, bird seed and parrots posing seductively in resplendent plumage, Google's PigeonRank technology cannot be deceived by these techniques. A Google search is an easy, honest and objective way to find high-quality websites with information relevant to your search.

As a Google user, you're familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly as it does? The heart of Google's search technology is PigeonRank�, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University.

Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F. Skinner, Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools."

Ken Gillespie artwork from Hambleton Galleries, Kelowna: "Born in Vancouver in 1948, Ken Gillespie has always lived in western Canada. He has done some travelling to other countries now that his daughters have shown him how. He recently met them in Nepal where they trekked around the foothills of the highest mountains in the world. He also enjoys kayaking and hiking around the west coast of British Columbia. He started putting the images of the Canadian landscape to canvas at the age of forty, and a few years later left a successful career in the geophysical sector to pursue art full time. This change has met with much success, including sell out shows in recent years in Calgary. In 1996 he achieved senior status with the Federation of Canadian Artists. His work hangs in public, corporate and private collections world wide.

Where is Raed ?

2004-03-15T20:33:00.000-08:00

Where is Raed ?: "So I assume you have been reading the blog and already know that the prophet announced before his death that whoever sees a leader in him should see a leader in his cousin Ali. Which the Shia took as a sign that the rule of the growing Muslim empire should be in the hands of the descendants of the prophet. Things didn�t happen like that.
The revolution that was led by an orphaned man to make all believers equal in the eyes of Allah wasn�t gaining much ground with the big rich families of Mecca. If you have read Salman Rushdie�s [Satanic Verses] you�ll see how he hinted at the disgruntlement of the big rich families, they were calling it a revolution of �water bearers and slaves�. This is not just fiction, in a book titled [the political left and right in Islam] � please excuse me for forgetting the name of the author - it is suggested that after all of Mecca became muslin, willingly or by force, the older tribes were not going to allow the rule of this growing institution go to the hands of an unknown, an orphan. This gap between the old and the new power, the author suggests, has always been at the heart of Sunni/Shia trouble in the early days of the Caliphate.
Four Caliphs down the line, as we get into the Ummayad period, things are getting more and more decadent and. When Yazeed comes to become Caliph in Damascus he wants to make sure that there will not be anyone from the Prophet�s family to contest his right to the throne. He sends someone to kill al-Hussain, the next in line of Imams.
In the mean time al-Hussain is getting messages from Kufa/Iraq telling him that they support his cause and wish he would come to Kufa and lead the believers there. Seeing that he has no choice al-Hussain moves to Iraq. He takes with him all his family, the prophet�s family and followers of al-Hussain i.e. Shia. It is a small entourage since he is expecting th"

Prairie Business Magazine: "Driven To Develop
Quick, who is America's most prolific mid-range private hotel developer? If you answered Gary Tharaldson and his Tharaldson Lodging Companies of Fargo, you win the jackpot.
Starting in 1982, this Valley City (ND) insurance executive began a new career with the purchase of a Super 8 motel in Valley City. Sixteen motels later, Tharaldson made the transition into fulltime hotel development and he's just now slowing down to catch his breath ... after 350 properties being created across the United States.
'We did about $120 million in new development in 2003 and will do about $180 million in 2003. Then we're backing off a little to about $150 million in 2004,' says Tharaldson, who is grooming his son to manage the family side of the business, while about half the properties are owned by some of the 200 employees through an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP). 'We were lucky during the economic downturn because of our financial strength. Our bankers and hotel groups have been calling us to develop new sites. With low interest rates and reduced construction costs our profits have risen by 50 percent, with about 40 percent in interest savings alone.'
Tharaldson's financial strengths have also enabled the companies (there are several involved in the process) to start building larger properties�with 117 rooms as the average size compared to 65-room properties in 1996�and developing sites in larger markets.
Another time-tested developer in the region is the Dakota Hospitality Company of Fargo, which made its claim to fame in Fargo with the Holiday Inn (opening in 1972), then developed nine more hotels in Minneapolis, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Kansas City, and Denver.
Steve Hanson, director of operations for the firm, says 'heads and beds is where the money is at' when he speaks "

Prairie Business Magazine: "Filling The Mid-Range
Before the 'titan' venues emerged in Fargo and Grand Forks, there were civic centers and armories in the region that met most of the basic needs for events. Just about every community with populations over a couple thousand people still have these facilities for hosting gatherings.
Minot, Jamestown, Devils Lake, Brookings, Watertown, Valley City, Aberdeen, Fergus Falls, Alexandria, Dickinson ... the list of towns with large floors is endless and most of them will always be a backbone to local hospitality events.
Dick Petersen, executive director of the Bismarck Civic Center since 1992, credits the Bismarck-Mandan community for its continued support of expansions and improvements for the ongoing success of his facility. The city of Bismarck approved a one-cent city sales tax in 1989 and the revenue has been put to good use in periodic projects that have turned the $1.5 million original structure (in 1969) into a versatile assemblage of buildings worth an estimated $60 million now.
'In 1991 we added the $10 million exhibit hall; we renovated the arena in 1999, and in 2002 we made mechanical improvements and added a grid system for Broadway style shows for an additional $500,000,' says Petersen, a South Dakota native. 'The difference between building an arena for basketball compared to football, like the Fargodome and the Alerus Center, is the caliber of seating for smaller events. We've got basketball and arena football who use us as their home, which means we're nearly completely booked the first quarter of each year.'
Due to the sports schedule, Petersen admits the Bismarck facility has to pass up some concerts, which offer the highest revenue potential, but he also feels the trade shows and other events provide a great return in terms of economic impact because th"

Prairie Business Magazine: "Battle Of The Titans
About 11 years ago, something truly monumental took place after much public debate and agonizing in the Fargo-Moorhead community. Following the lead of Fargo's former parks superintendent, Goose Johnson, and other community leaders, the $44 million Fargodome became one of the largest buildings on the landscape near North Dakota State University and the Hector International Airport.
The airport had completed its new construction a few years earlier, so with the Dome's addition, Fargo-Moorhead ushered in a new era for the hospitality industry in 1992 when it opened. It rapidly became the venue that would attract many of the entertainment industry's top performers�like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, KISS, Eric Clapton, ZZ Top, and Neil Diamond. With a maximum capacity of 22,000 for staged events, the economic impact of the Dome on lodging and restaurants was easily measured in the millions of dollars (a new economic impact study is presently underway at the time of this writing).
'It added to the quality of life; people began talking about it when they thought of Fargo-Moorhead,' says Paul Johnson, executive director of the facility since 1995.
The other side of the Dome was its ability to host football, basketball, and other sporting events, along with trade shows and business conventions. In 2001 the facility added more lobby space and 10,000 square feet of meeting rooms to 'complement events in the building that need additional breakout space,' according to Johnson.
With a new 5-1/2 year management contract recently passed by the City of Fargo (owner of the Dome), Johnson reports to both Global Spectrum and the seven-member Dome authority appointed by the city commission. Twenty fulltime employees and up to 500 part time staff members report to"

Temperature and heart rate should be easy - infrared pyrometers are used in industry to measure, with accuracy, the temperature of a surface, no reason it shouldn't work to point it at a person & get a number. Heart rate - several optical ways, no problem, or a directional microphone and appropraite sound processing - again, nothing too complicated.

Blood pressure, though...since BP is measured by finding the two points where (1) the pressure in the cuff blocks all flow, and (2) the pressure in the cuff blocks no flow, I can't see an easy way to get that without actually blocking and unblocking said flow.

Non-inavsive blood pressure systems work by 'listening' to the pulse with a pressure transducer & working some fairly mundane math to get the numbers, but I just can't see a way to find out how much pressure it takes to occlude a blood vessel without...occluding that blood vessel. "

These pages are maintained by Alistair B. Fraser in an attempt to sensitise teachers and students to examples of the bad science often taught in schools, universities, and offered in popular articles and even textbooks.

However, it will gladly link to other sites which explore the same pedagogical isues of bad science.
Here, I explain what I mean by bad science and provide pointers to specialized pages on bad science within various disciplines. In particular this page points to Bad Meteorology , a page also maintained by Alistair B. Fraser.

The Titan Project in Calgary encompasses an 8,000/9,000 seat venue, a world-class destination hotel, a retail complex and a 300-400 seat restaurant. We are working closely with the city and community. We are in the final site selection process and intend to start this spring/summer on the site engineering. The site we prefer has the Cities’ endorsement and is connected to light rail transit, and major transportation routes.

The campus like setting of the Titan project in downtown Calgary, Canada’s business centre will bring very positive results. Titan intends to be a very noticeable corporate citizen committed to improving public life, preserving cultures, providing educating experiences and entertainment while changing and touching the very fabric of people’s lives

What we ask for is your endorsement of the cultural benefits an entertainment venue brings to a community. We ask for you to investigate the relationships you could have with us such as branding opportunities, volunteer work, product supply, philanthropic and many others. We would like to have a relationship with you for our non profit fund raising and community liaison needs. We intend to give generously to charities of all kinds allowing easy access to the facility for fund raising and community activities and invite your participation.

Calgary and two other cities in Canada need venues now and The Titan Group intends to build and manage them. We have an impressive number of endorsements to date and a growing list of supporters. We also have a growing number of world class promoters and talent buyers who intend to book the facilities.
