new apple variety
ligrowerNovember 8, 2013
alan haigh
Insect resistance? Hadn't heard that one before although I've read about these two varieties in Goodfruit. We shall see how this plays out- the link leads to what is basically a Cornell commercial.
As I recall, the plan is not to allow the variety to be sold beyond licensed growers, so we may not be able to grow them in home orchards legally for a couple of decades.

Genetic Algorithm Improves Shellsort 71
from the branching-out dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The only GA-originated increments for Shellsort that I could find online was the one in Crew fall 2001 report [allegheny.edu], but that sequence didn't perform very well, & they didn't document their technique except to say that it wasn't a full-blown GA. (They placed some limitations on it. They also mention that Simpson & Yachavaram [allegheny.edu] used only a limited GA.)
I wondered if a GA that fully manipulated bit-strings could produce a sequence as good as Sedgewick's, & I also wanted to document the technique so someone else interested in GAs could implement their own or at least be a little entertained with how it was done.
Shell Sort works by roughly sorting, then sorting a little finer, and so on, until you finely sort every piece of data, and hopefully at this final and potentially most time-consuming step, there isn't a lot of work to be done.
The thing is, there's no platonic God-like perfect mathmatically-proven best choice of how fine or rough the early iterations should be. No matter what increments you use (within certain constraints) Shell Sort will still work every single time (the last step at increment 1 guarantees it) -- it's just a matter of performance. Nobody knows what increments work best, and you can't just mathmatically figure it out.
Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.

1997 Toyota 4Runner 4 Dr Limited 4WD SUV Review
You're putting yourself and/or your family in a well built, safe, reliable and highly capable vehicle at a reasonable expense.
No reason to avoid it if you find a well mainted one.
Good Investment. Toyota Can Build Them And Worth The High Resale Value They Carry. — I purchased this vehicle approx a week ago for my wife. We have 3 small children and her two door car wasn't very practical. The 4Runner is known for reliability, safety and overall performance. We purchased it for what I consider a steal at $3800. Love Craigslist. It was well maintained and the gentleman I purchased it from needed cash immediately for late mortages or I think this vehicle would have been sold for KBB Good at $5800 private party. Performance - Though it does have 213K...the engine runs and sounds perfect and the transmission still shifts smooth. The 6cyl has plenty of hp and torque for daily driving. Can merge fine into speeding traffic and it handles the mountains here in east TN with ease. Doesn't feel as tippy as some SUV's despite the high ground clearance and manages curves well. I can set cruise control at 80mph and it seems as though I'm only doing 55mph. There is some wind noise but the engine isn't overly loud or annoying. Though I've only taken it off the pavement once so far, it performed simular to my previously owned 2000 Wrangler. Path got muddy so I shifted to 4H and it had no problems in mud around a foot deep. Not the flex of a Wrangler but it did well over some decent size rocks and down trees, branches, etc. It's stock so I wouldn't consider taking it on any serious trails but feel more than comfortable pulling off the road to reach a camp site not too far into the woods or at the lake. It snowed about 2" the other day and it did pretty well in 4H on unsalted roads. Where other cars were spinning tires to attempt to get up small hills and having rearwheel drive vehicle's rear ends sliding out on turns the 4Runner barely lost any traction and I got to work with no risk to my safety. Have not needed 4L and probably never will unless I decide to use this to pull my fourwheelers by trailer to WindRock ATV Park where there are some pretty steep unpaved paths/roads leading up the mountain. I'll update if I do. Build Quality - Did I mention it has 213K?!? Amazing this 4Runner seems like a 3 or 4 yr old used vehicle. The previous owner changed the timing belt at 154K. It has a newer battery and serpatine belt (he changed at 101k and 204k). Other than oil changes every 3-4K and transmission fluid/filter changes every 30-40k and coolant flushes before every winter and 3 sets of tires and 1 set of brakes over it's life that's all that has been done. The body is still perfect with no rust. There was however some oxidation on the hood and above the windshield. Maguire's compound and elbow grease brought the paint "almost" back to it's orginal clear coat shine. The only feature on it that does not function is the clock. I'll manage. The leather is still pretty decent except the driver's seat shows some cracks and one small tear on the side where you slide in. Even the leather steering wheel is in good shape. The cupholders were poorly placed in the dash and seem flimsy and I do not trust them with more than a 12oz can of soda. The stock stereo was replaced with an aftermarket CD Player but the speakers still sound pretty good and there are stock tweeters that give good highs to music. Appearance - Timeless. This 1997 suv still seams modern yet rugged and tough. The high stance/ground clearance gives the impression of a serious machine. Women like my wife think it's attractive and men seem to like it as well since it doesn't look like a typical "soccer mom" suv. Cost of Ownership - Only had it about a week so I couldn't give a fair evaluation but I will update. It cost approx $55 to fill up at $2.95/gallon and averaged around 19mpg. Fun Factor - Not a sports car and not a truck. On the road it handles so well and manages to almost drive itself so it can seem a little boring. Can fill the rear cargo area with alot of groceries or my 15yr son old and room left over. Won't offroad with a Jeep Wrangler but will out do most SUV's. I wouldn't rate it with a Land Cruiser but I've driven a Rover Discovery II on trails and I would say it would stay with it no problem off road and that's pretty fun for a factory machine!

Reliability is superb!
Rear suspension on this model is a bit rough and gas mileage could be better.
4runner — I'd have to say this has been one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned. Rarely did I have to take this vehicle in for repairs, most visits to the shop were for routine maintenance. Great style and body lines. Would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Purchased new from Toyota dealership in May 1997. Very reliable, gets decent gas mileage for a late model SUV. Good hauling capacity. Nice moonroof. Easy to keep clean.
Ole' Reliable — Purchased new from Toyota dealership in May 1997. Very reliable, gets decent gas mileage for a late model SUV. Good hauling capacity. Great traveling vehicle. The steering is tight and more like a car than a truck. She's getting some miles on her now (currently 118,000) but still going strong. Recently bought new tires and it still drives like the day I drove it off the lot. With continued TLC, I'm hoping for another 15 years out of it

It has some flaws like any other car, but it would be unfair to even think of them after 200K miles of fun and great service.
Rock Solid — 230K miles and still going strong. This is my 2nd 4runner and I'm getting ready for the 3rd one, exept this one still doesn't want to quit. If you are looking for a reliable SUV, that is not too expensive and not too fancy, this is the one you will never regret buying. I can promise you that. I've been on just about every road with this car and it has never let me down. I bought this SUV with 35K miles and after 200K miles driven, the engine still runs smooth and strong, as well as the automatic transmition, everything still works as the first day I drove it. It has all the basic features for today's standards. The 4runner is not a performance SUV, so don't expect it to run like a sports vehicle; this boy is built for reliability and rock solid durability.

Not for ones looking for a sports car or SUV
Excellent Car, Highly Recommended And Is Reliable Too — It is a Toyota, which means it will last a long, long time. Good performance for what it is, appearance is solid, and build quality is excellent too. Average gas lileage and maintenance is a strong point. One may not find it find to drive, as it isn't a sports car, but for regular things, the 1997 Toyota 4Runner gets the job done!

Easy handling, great gas mileage, and low maintenance cost.
cup holder placement, other than that- nothing!
A Surprise Suv Gem! — This car has quick and precise handling, easy acceleration and you can whip right into parking space as if it was a car. You will be pleased to know that even at 14years old, this car requires minimum maintenance or repairs. Car still starts right up and runs smoothly. AC blows cold and cover the back area well. The appearance is traditional and even a 97 model with new wheels and tires looks great. SUV has solid craftmanship. The cost of gas beats any SUV now on the market - up to 25MPG. The SUV is great for school and sports moms. Great for traveling on just a great for a round about town SUV. I love love this vehicle!!

2010 4Runners.. If you haven't noticed.. Are around $50, 000!
I Loved The 1997 4 Runner && I Would Buy Another One.. — Performance - Acceleration, handling && braking were amazing!! Build Quality - When I bought this truck she was in dire need of an overhual!! I swaped out both axles (I had to fly those in from Florida), redo all the breaks, gasoline lines, replace the stearing pump && valves.. the list goes on!! But once she got some well deserved TLC - She was perfect!! Appearence - Loved it!! The trucks height && stance made her look HUGE!! Even for a 1997, she didn't need any body work while I owned it! Cost of Ownership - She was expensive && then she levelled out.. Gas mileage was amazing too.. Fun Factor - AWESOME!!

26 Aug 2013 16:22 GMT | Politics, Human Rights, US & Canada, Israel, Syria
Edward P. Djerejian served as US ambassador to Israel between 1993 and 1994. Prior to that, he served as the US ambassador to Syria from 1989 to 1991 and as the assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs during both the Clinton and the H.W. Bush administrations.
America's role has been both as a catalyst and a party that stood by.
Edward P. Djerejian, Middle East expert
He is the founding director of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Texas.
Ambassador Djerejian is considered an expert on the Middle East, US foreign policy and national security, and has been an important figure in the Arab-Israeli peace process.
He is the recipient of a number of awards, including the Presidential Distinguished Service Award, Department of State's Distinguished Honor Award, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
He is also the author of Danger and Opportunity: An American Ambassador's Journey Through the Middle East .
Empire went to the Baker Institute, in Houston, Texas, to visit Ambassador Djerejian who shared his insights and discussed with us how the US has missed opportunities and why a "strong American hand" is critical to this process.

Dogs and Demo
My kitchen demo just began and I must admit that it never occurred to me that it would upset my dogs so much. The guys are in the kitchen whacking away and the dogs are barking and total hyper. I now have them in a bedroom as far away from the kitchen as we can get in this smallish house, but I can't imagine another two weeks like this!
Those of you who have dogs....did they eventually get used to the noise and settle down?
We've had ongoing (forever) renovations going on in our FL house. We got our dogs to calm down by having the guy who is doing the work "meet" them and give them a few treats and then letting them watch what was going on when he was using the sander, tile cutter, etc. Our dogs love him now and wag their tails and run to him when he arrives. Might be worth a try. I always found it to be much worse when the dogs could hear the noise or talking but not see the action because then they don't know what is going on.
We have 2 older Standard Poodles. As Beaglesdoitbetter said, being able to see what is happening and where the noise is coming from helps a lot.
The only tool my older guy can't seem to accept is my trim gun. Something about that burst of air really bothers him.
Give them a treat dispensing toy to keep them busy. Heck, feed them their kibble meals out of it.
Tire them out before the workers come - jog, long walk, fetch, etc. A tired dog is a happy dog.
Have the workers give them treats.
Try to desensitize them by showing them the tools and treating them constantly. Work up to "using" the tools in front of them (bang hammer, spin drill) all while constantly treating.
Take them to doggie daycare or otherwise get them out of the house.
Or, if they just won't shut up - and my one guy is like this with thunderstorms - get a mild sedative from the vet.
We have two dogs now but only had the lab when we did the kitchen. She barked when they came (as she would anyone, especially anyone new), but she was soon greeting them happily and keeping an eye on things. Now it might have helped that she saw we were happy about all this and I even picked up a hammer and whacked aways at some of the tile counters and splash I was so glad to get rid of. They tried to take our cabinets down as intact as possible (they were site built, not freestanding boxes, so some came apart), and it might have made a difference that they weren't smashing our cabinets up like I've seen on TV shows. By the end, the contractors were saying they needed to get her a tool belt and hard hat because she was checking up on their work so often -- working under the sinks was funny.
Hope it gets better, but if not, help them and yourself out by separating them from it.
Thanks for the responses. They just really HATE loud noises - corgis, so gigantic ears.
The good news is the major part of the demo is over. Tomorrow they will remove the floor tile and that will cause a ruckus but they should be done before noon.
I do have some Bach's Flower Remedy but of course it's packed somewhere because it was among the spices. I also have a thunder shirt for my girl dog because she is terrified of thunder. I might try that on her tomorrow. They are both rescues so they definitely have their "issues".
As you can see by my user name, I can totally relate. Our corgi, Rudy got to the point that when we would go into the completely demo'ed kitchen and just look around, he would start whining to go outside. The worst day was when the drywall was hung. We camped out in the bedroom upstairs for a few hours. I think it helped that I stayed with him. Today I'm painting the ceiling and he has been skittish all morning, just anticipating some kind of noise.
I thought we would have to use doggie daycare but so far so good. We will see if we need it on the cabinet installation days.
My experience was similar to Beagle and Star...I have a standard poodle (5 yo) and a miniature poodle (12 yo).
They definitely got used to the noise after a short time, and the fact that they made friends with the contractors (lots of treats and ear scratching) was a *huge* help. The contractors' arrival was met with joy, and the noise just became part of the scene.
We did, however, keep them in the bedroom when things got really messy/loud, but the pups knew what it was all about and they were good with it.
Having them meet the contractors and trying to desensitize them is good if they are just a little uneasy. If they have gone over the threshold into fear/panic, it won't work, and then the best thing is to remove them from the situation as best you can. In your bedroom, outside in the yard, take them for a walk. A good rule of thumb is if they are too distressed to accept a good treat, they are over the edge. If you are interested in learning how to work through these issues with your dog, "Control Unleashed" by Leslie McDivitt is a good book.
My border collie knows that after the air compressor fills up, the nail gun will be next, and he can't deal with hammering/nailin/banging sounds. If the air compressor starts, he leavegs and hides. My German shepherd, however is "bombproof".
We always keep the dogs completely out of the work zone when we're doing a project. Too many bad things for them to lick, eat, step on, or wipe their tails through. Drywall dust, caulking, grout, nails, wood chips, etc. You'd be surprized at what they think is interesting.
Good luck on your reno!
My 9 yr old (nervous) toy poodle did ok with the kitchen. I put his blanket on my bed with his favorate toy and long lasting treat. I turned Animal Planet on quite loudly, and left a bowl of water on the floor. I found that he was quite happy. Normally my BR is off limits to him during the day. He still runs away when I take out a mop or vacume, and when he sees a tool come out, but he did this before the kitchen too.
My demo starts Wednesday and my biggest fear has been dealing with our lab. He is ok with noises, but will bark continuously if he is not the center of attention. I also fear he will get loose. My plan is to section off mid hallway, so he has run of half the house and yard. Workers will have to set up shop in front yard of the house. I also plan on taking him to doggie day care and he won't be happy because he does not consider himself a dog :)
My dog doesn't warm up to strangers and to be honest, we never encouraged her to when our kitchen was being remodeled. She was pretty stressed that her "treat cabinet" was gone, left as a framed shell for weeks, so we left her treat can on the floor of the framing and dispensed treats from there which seemed to help.
She got kind of pushed to the brink when the icynene was blown in. Once they started working on the floor we sent her to the kennel for the week. She enjoys where she is boarded and we didn't have to worry about her getting hurt when parts of the floor was opened up.
As with any new situation, excercise and a consistent schedule are your best friends, but don't expect your dogs to suddenly give in to the idea that strangers disturbing the house is OK. Best of luck and remember that this too shall pass.

First-grade students from Jefferson Elementary STEM School in Minnesota have been taking on the challenge of buckthorn, an invasive weed that is crowding out native plants and disturbing the ecosystem of Prairie Island in Winona. The students studied the plant's environmental impact and came up with plan to remove it. The project, run by the school and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, will take several years as students build problem-solving skills and see the results of their efforts. "If you give kids a little space to grow, they'll show you what they can do," said teacher Byron Gilliland.

"My best friend remembers what's important to me and supports me through everything. I can't be embarrassed around her, she's comfortable with my family, and we randomly do nice things for each other." – Adella C., 14
"A good friend you can hang out with and have fun with, but a best friend you can tell anything to and you know that no matter how bad things get they'll be by your side." – Andrea V., 13
"A good friend is someone that you smile when you see, that can make you laugh, and that understands you need alone time. A best friend, on the other hand, is a partner in crime, someone to make you laugh and help you cry, someone who always forgets the trivial things but never forgets the important things, someone who loves you even when they hate you, someone who you care about more than they'll ever know, someone who keeps your secrets, someone who never respects your personal space but always respects your personal choices. Your best friend is the family member that you chose." – Kate B., 14
"A good friend always celebrates the goods time with you. A best friend is always there for you during the bad times." – Maggie L., 17
"A good friend you really like. A best friend you love." – Rachel Y., 14
"A good friend tells you it'll be OK when you're embarrassed. A best friend does something equally as embarrassing to make you laugh and forget." – Jenny T., 14
"A good friend is just someone you sit at lunch with at school or talk to on Facebook. A best friend is someone you call on the phone and talk to them while watching the same channel because you can't be with them for real." – Kaley Z., 11

Public Backs Affirmative Action, But Not Minority Preferences
The public has generally been supportive of affirmative action programs, but is decidedly opposed to the idea of providing preferential treatment to minorities.
Through Boom and Bust: Minorities, Immigrants and Homeownership
The ups and downs in the U.S. housing market over the past decade and a half have generated both greater gains and larger losses for minority groups than for whites.
A Religious Portrait of African-Americans
While the U.S. is generally considered a highly religious nation, African-Americans are markedly more religious on a variety of measures than the U.S. population as a whole, including level of affiliation with a religion, attendance at religious services, frequency of prayer and religion's importance in life.

Racial Tensions Roil Democrats' Media Narrative
Maybe the good news for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama last week was that the problems of another Democrat — Eliot Spitzer — generated almost as much media attention as they did.
Tracking the Race Factor
This week's primaries show that, results in Wisconsin aside, pre-primary polls may either over- or underestimate support for Obama depending on state racial demographics.

Art Nouveau Medallion Quilt Pattern
To view this document you will need the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader
Aphrodite takes center stage in this medallion-style quilt. Delicate floral designs surround her in the elegant Art Nouveau Romance print by RJR Fabrics. The combination of a dark, contrasting skinny border in green and the subtle setting squares in tan allow the Aphrodite medallion square to stand out. The Iris print repeats motifs in the Romance print setting off the Irish Chain as a soft lavender backdrop. The green print is repeated in the inner border providing a clear break before the outer border. The design is finished off with Berry Sprig binding, adding continuity between the Cross Country blocks and the final edge of the quilt.

Magnolia fig pics
These pics were taken late summer 09.
Due to the summer we didn't have I was still lucky enough to get to taste a couple. I think if it was a little warmer and had they really ripen the way they needed to be then they would have been very great.
They grew to almost the size of a tennis ball and turned like amber in color outside and sort of goldish but hollow from the inside. Don't know if that's normal but we'll see again this summer and hope we do have a summer.
Hi Rafed,
easy way to post here "IF" useing photobucket only is upload picture to photobucket.
once picture is uploaded put mouse cursor in that picture in your photobucket picture and then several different named codes will appear below it.
Copy and paste the HTML code Only here in your message , make sure you copy and paste the whole HTML Line.
click Preview Message to make sure as you should see it then in your message .
Hope that helps.
It is labeled as a Magnolia fig. I thought it was a Weeping/BLK Weeping till Bass corrected me last summer. I have lefted at that.
Hope someone can confirms its true indentity.
I tried as you explained as for posting the pics and it worked.
Hi Rafed,
glad it worked for you.
As you and others probably noticed over time im not really good at explaining things nor spelling stuff.
Seems i always leave something out when i type something and or put things in wrong order.
Oh well least i dont forget eat the figs !
We are not perfect. Only God is.
The effort you put in is very good enough to me and I think to everyone else.
No complaints here my friend. Keep up the good work, You're an asset!
I'm having a short trip this time. Meaning I will be home in a week to work on the garden. Have to be home on Wednesday 14th for some personnel business and on the 18th it will be me and my wifes 17th year married. Don't have a dog but I will need a dog house if I miss this one so I just might take a week off to play it safe.
This is my third year with this cultivar.
Last year I used bamboo to hold the branches from the weight of the figs.
I am using a 1/2in.wide bamboo stick to hold the main stem from bending and it doesn't have any leaves yet.
The tree it self is about 4' tall but the main stem is no wider than 3/4in at the base.
The plant is unique and I love the way it looks.
Rafed I agree it is definately a Unique plant I have a magnolia plant coming shortly maybe we can compare later on this season.

About "11th Street Kids"
Lyrics for Hanoi Rocks - "11th Street Kids"
Accidents happens about everyday
But that day special followed by a heat wave
Rush hour just began I ran for my life
I can't afford to miss the bus
Or I'll go and miss all the fuss
'cause this time it's a must
I'm gonna meet the boys and Suzy
I just can't miss her tonight
Tonight I'm so hot - Gee! I'm so hot
Well, is she tight
Is she in need of a lover like me?
Oh, there she is now!
I gotta go - and give her a great big kiss
And now that I'm in her I don't want to lose her
These moments are takin' me to heaven
But they don't seem to take her anywhere at all
I wonder what is wrong
Please, tell me what is wrong!
Remember all them nites we wrote on the walls that "Punks never die!"
Hot love in the nights, the days we spent underground
Accidents happens about everyday
But that day special ''cause Peter was taken a way and Suzy
She moved to another town
So here I'm all alone in the summer heat
Looking at this empty street
All here's left is writings on the walls
I wonder were all the 11th street kidz are today
Where have they all gone?

Okay, how do I keep the camera on my champion? It's will only stay on if I keep pressing space.
Junior Member
At the bottom right of the screen near the minimap there are 4 buttons, pressing the one with the eye will lock your camera to your character. Next time your player look over at the eye and if it's red, it means the camera is off and you can move the camera around, but if it's green it will stay with your champion
You can press Y to lock the camera on your champion.
Though I highly suggest you leave it unlocked. It's much more versatile to leave it unlocked. It's a weird thing to get used to for some players, but keeping the camera locked will only cripple you as you play with more and more experienced players.
That helps a lot!

On Friday 30th May, 20 brave jumpers took to the skies to raise funds for Headway West Midlands. We all had a superb day and every single skydiver expressed a wish to do it again once they'd landed. Those jumpers will have raised in excess of £5000 once all the sponsorship has been collected. Headway West Midlands would like to thank all the staff at Hinton Diving Centre for looking after us so well and to thank each and every jumper for helping to achieve a massive total. One lady paid her husband's deposit as a birthday present for him and he had no idea until his birthday, a few days before jump day, that he was doing the skydive. He was thrilled and loved every minute of it.
If you would like to take part or maybe book a place for a loved one (Or not such a loved one), please speak to Vanessa on 0121 457 7541 for information about our next jump on Friday 29th May, 2015.

My name is Stephen Brightman and I suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2006 which totally changed my life. Prior to my injury I was a social worker for children's services, a job which I took great pride in and even though it could be challenging I loved it. Having been left with severe Aphasia after my injury it was clear that I could not continue in the job I loved, this came as a severe blow and for a long time I just wanted to curl up and die. I numbed the pain with alcohol for 5 years, until eventually I realised that I needed to get back on my feet. I gave up drinking and with the help of my cousin Sarah I got in touch with some services that have really helped me get back on track.
I am currently attending Moseley Hall for speech and language therapy and my speech has improved over the last year. Although it is not yet improved to a level I am happy with, I will continue to work hard at learning how to speak again. It was a great achievement for me when I learnt to say my cousin Sarah's name this year as she is such a great support to me I wanted to be able to tell people how great she is.
Headway WM offer a variety of Steps clubs that I attend which have been a huge help to me. I love taking part in events like bowling club, lunch club, walking club and photography club as they are activities that I enjoy. As well as being great pastimes, the encouragement that comes from getting out and meeting people who have struggled with an accident or an injury like me is invaluable and I feel that my confidence has improved a great deal since I joined the Steps groups just over a year ago.
Headway WM Sports events have been offered this year and I have been learning to sail competitively which is something I am really enjoying and would love to continue in the future. I have also taken up Archery tester sessions which i hope will be available for the long term as I am enjoying the challenge of learning new things.
I am looking forward to the future now and I know it will be filled with enjoyable activities and social events. I hope my speech will improve further and I will continue to work hard at learning new words. I hope to be able to give something back to Headway WM for all of their help and support by doing a sponsored skydive from them in 2015.

Terrestrial radio juggernaut Hot 97 is coming to a TV screen near you with a new show, 'This Is Hot 97,' which debuts tonight (March 31). The Boombox talks to Peter Rosenberg, Cipha Sounds and Laura Stylez about making the leap to the small screen.
The man behind 'Toot It And Boot It' and 'My Hitta' talks about the making of his critically-acclaimed album 'My Krazy Life,' sending shots at other rappers and his gangbanging past.
For every decade, there's an album released by a marquee R&B artist that speaks for the generation. In the 1980's it was Michael Jackson's 'Thriller.' In the '90s, it was MJ's little sister Janet Jackson's overt album, 'Janet.' For the new millennial generation of today, it's clearly Beyonce's self-titled album. But in between Queen Bey and Ms. Jackson, there's an album by one of the greatest musical talents in R&B that's ever surfaced the Earth: 'Confessions' by Usher.
Basketball and hip-hop have always gone hand in hand and over the years they have collided consistently, becoming the two favorite pastimes of inner-city youth. So when the 'Above The Rim' soundtrack dropped on March 22, 1994, the music matched perfectly with the hoops film of the same name starring Tupac Shakur.
Don't look now but UK artists are changing the face of American hip-hop, pop and R&B.
Do we still need historically black venues for hip-hop and R&B artists in a "post-racial" America?
Is Rick Ross' 'Mastermind' album a solid body of work or an effort that needs to be scrapped? Find out in The Boombox review of the project.

Introduced by a job agency. I started with the direct interviews (I was informed there would be around 3 rounds of interviews, but I just did the first one and haven't got the feedback yet). The first interview was completely technical - sorry details of the questions couldn't be provided as I've promised the interviewers. However they were about calculus, probablility, stocastic differenctial equation (mainly about the BS model), modelling (didn't have to be a specific language) and related finance. They started from an easy question in each aspect and increased the difficulties as you progressed, but hints would be provided friendly.
Whole process was 1hour + 15 mins of the questions for the interviewers.
Very friendly discussions throughout the interview.Interview Questions

Quantitative Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took a day – interviewed at Bank of America in November 2011.Interview Details
First, we were interviewed at our university, mainly discussed the resume.. Later called to Charlotte for the final round of interviews.
Had an evening to network with the bosses and previous QMAP students who would be interviewing the next day.
The final day started with a presentation where you had to make a decision to invest in a project/not. in a group of 5, they selected the students such that roughly half were for, others against. ( we were given the case study for the presentation a week in advance, so individual presentations were ready, but as a group needed to select a decision and make it up in an hour).
This was followed by 2 technical and 2 HR interviews. the tech was mostly from the resume, they want to know if u have handled large data sets before, along with good statistics experience. The HR interviews were not that easy, be prepared for them (a sample may be available online)
Hope this helps, all the best!No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview

Read in December, 2007
For some reason, I just could not get into this book! I thought I would - there were a few parts at the beginning that amused me and seemed interesting, but the more I read, the more uninterested I got. I don't know if it was the plot or the writing, but I just found it all rather forgettable. You know, when you read a chapter and then sit back and think, "Wait...what just happened?" It's never good when you have to keep rereading pages to get them in your brain. And it wasn't that it was difficult to digest! Just couldn't hold my interest.
