No matter your style or pocketbook, Canyon Beachwear has a fantastic selection of designer bikinis for the fashion-forward gal.
Browse our premier selection of top swimsuit brands for that one piece you must, must, must have. (Or several pieces--no judgement here!)

Team 2012-13: Estudiantes Madrid (Spain-ACB)
Career: Unicaja Malaga (youth teams); Unicaja Malaga (Spain-ACB, 1999-01); Estudiantes Madrid (Spain-ACB, 2001-03); Unicaja Malaga (Spain-ACB, 2003-04); Lagun Aro Bilbao (Spain-ACB, 2004-05); Akasvayu Girona (Spain-ACB, 2005-07); Unicaja Malaga (Spain-ACB, 2007-09); Estudiantes Madrid (Spain-ACB, 2009-13)
At 32 years of age, Gabriel is making his senior team debut at a major event. The Caracas, Venezuela native played in Spain's U18-U20 national teams from 1998 to 2001 and earned one appearance for Spain's top side in the Qualification Round for EuroBasket 2003, playing against Belgium. The 2.07m center was needed for the Slovenia tournament after both Pau Gasol and Serge Ibaka pulled out. He will likely be called upon to rest Marc Gasol at the center position. Gabriel proved this season that he can still play in the blocks with a strong season at Estudiantes, finishing sixth in the league in scoring. He also displayed range extending beyond the three-point line. Gabriel also has a history with Spanish coach Juan Orenga, playing together with the new coach in 1999-00 at Unicaja Malaga.

Lisbon Map
Everywhere we love in Lisbon
Explore the city by district:
Baixa-Bairro Alto
Lisbon City
Out on a limb both geographically and financially (and politically, up until 30 years ago), Portugal has always been considered the European outsider. But that image is now changing. Both Expo '98 and the Euro 2004 football championships have helped boost the country's interna- tional profile beyond that of a last-minute bucket holiday destination. The epicentre of this cultural transformation is Lisbon.At one time unjustly overlooked, this small but fiercely dynamic city has rightfully earned a place in the European capital super-league. Attracted by the prospect of relatively uncharted territory, city break travellers are now flocking for a taste of Rio in the Med.
It's hard to believe that up until 1974 Portugal was governed by a quasi-fascist dictatorship (Europe's last, in fact). But in the past 30 years a rapidly growing liberal and consumer society has evolved, and Lisbon has not looked back. This change is most evident on the cobbled streets of Bairro Alto, where a plethora of historically illegal drinking dens now forms the nucleus for much of the city's vibrant nightlife. Locals and tourists of all shapes, sizes and walks of life gather every Friday and Saturday night for what could quite conceivably be Europe's biggest bar crawl. With a reputation to rival that of São Paulo, Lisboetas love to party.
The Portuguese are famed for their love of eating and no self-respecting Lisboeta would even consider hitting the town without first sitting down to dinner. Eating forms a pivotal part of the social scene and you'll find more restaurants per square mile than street lamps. Consequently the demand for quality (and quantity) is high. Be warned: it won't be just your suitcases that get tagged for excess baggage.
The city itself is small enough to explore in a weekend, although it's easy to get lost in the narrow, cobbled backstreets. Perhaps the best way to find your bearings is to climb one of the city's seven hills and take in the breathtaking views. Areas are concentrated and boast their own defined character; discover the charm of Lisbon's oldest bairro, the Alfama, where old women nonchalantly watch the world pass by from their window boxes; or the cultural district of Belém, where many of the city's museums and historic buildings are located. The Castelo de São Jorge serves as a good vantage-point for some of the most beautiful sunsets in Europe, with a mystical light to rival that of Venice.
Lisbon is a city of contradictions, where wealth and poverty live as comfortable neighbours, and modernity meets with unwavering tradition – making it both a charming and intriguing place to explore. Behind the crumbling stonework, a new spirit is evolving. Once a leading world power, Lisbon now looks likely to resume some of its for- mer glory. As the locals would put it – this city will touch you.

(Bloomberg) -- Stifel Financial Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ron Kruszewski paused in mid-sentence and asked an employee for the list, a chart showing in red which of the St. Louis-based firms rivals have closed or sold out.
Theres this huge consolidation, Kruszewski, 54, said in an interview in his office, referring to the once crowded field of U.S. regional and local brokerages that vied to serve mid-size companies. Whats left is very few firms that ever were in the middle market. Were one of them.
About a dozen golf putters lean against a table. Nine floors down, the lobby is being remodeled with glass and white stone, while a bronze bull and bear statue is planned for outside. The way Kruszewski views it, St. Louis is now the No. 2 U.S. brokerage hub after New York. From his window he can see the Edward Jones Dome, the stadium named for the citys other prominent securities firm and home field of the National Football Leagues Rams.
Kruszewski is looking to U.S. brokerage-industry turmoil to provide yet more opportunities to grab market share and grow after a decade of acquisitions propelled Stifel ahead of peers. Smaller firms including Rodman & Renshaw LLC and WJB Capital Group Inc. are shuttering operations or selling themselves to larger companies as a drop in trading and lower commissions squeeze margins. Meanwhile, so-called bulge-bracket banks such as Citigroup Inc. and UBS AG are cutting employees and units as they retrench in the wake of the financial crisis.

The Montgomery County Council will expedite a zoning review of the former BAE Systems/Vitro site in Aspen Hill that is targeted for a Walmart.
Critics say the decision only fast-tracks the big-box retailer's plan to locate in Aspen Hill.
In a 5-4 vote Monday, the council kept a minor master plan amendment for the Vitro site on the planning board's plate, rejecting a committee recommendation that the review be broadened to include all Aspen Hill commercial and retail areas.
Citing the property owner's intent to lease to Walmart and the narrow scope of the minor master plan process as major concerns, the Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee recommended more comprehensive planning of the retail area, yet not as comprehensive as a full master plan, scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2016.
"I am really pleased that the majority of the county council recognized what the community wants, and I'm proud that they came to the right conclusion," said Bruce Lee, president of Lee Development Group, owner of the Vitro site. "I think that the community has spoken and the community wants retail at that location. And that's what we are going to pursue."
Councilman Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown, who grew up in Aspen Hill, said the community desires to see the blight that is the Vitro site redeveloped.
Opponents of Walmart hoped the council would take a broader approach.
Councilman Marc B. Elrich (D-At large) of Takoma Park said the committee's recommendation would have delayed review only for "eight lousy months."
"I'm a little bit vexed as to why this is so important to not take eight more months and get the whole thing right," he said.
L. Anthony Perez, trustee and director of legislative growth strategies for United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400, said the vote was disappointing.
However, Matthew Hanson, campaign coordinator for Raise Maryland, a group pushing to increase the state's minimum wage, said the vote was closer than expected.
"I think that this fight's not over," Hanson said. "We're going to continue to organize and mobilize and if we don't want to see another Walmart open up, depress wages and put more folks out of work, [then] we have to keep up the fight."
Councilman Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda said a minor master plan still would address the broader questions raised in the committee's recommendation.
The council's decision Monday does not prevent Walmart or ensure it will come to the site, but Councilman George L. Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park said it clearly fast-tracks the retailer locating in Aspen Hill, as Walmart is the intended tenant.
Lee Development Group has a signed letter of intent from Walmart stating that the company wants to be on the Aspen Hill site.
Whether it does come to Aspen Hill remains to be seen, Lee said.
Most business people realize that letters of intent are nonbinding, he said.
"We still have many, many months to go, and it's going to take a long time to go through this process, so [there's] no guarantee that will be the tenant there," Lee said, acknowledging that Walmart has so far been a partner in the developer's efforts.
Although Lee said retail "is the market," exactly what final zoning designation the county will assign to his property also will be determined by the process.
Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, who represents a piece of Aspen Hill, said now is the time to move forward and focus on what could be on the Vitro site.
Review of the Aspen Hill minor master plan will begin January 2014, and the council should have a recommendation from planning by January 2015.

Loving Annabelle
Annabelle, a precocious Senator's daughter who falls in love with her teacher Simone at a stodgy Catholic girls boarding school. Inspired by the classic lesbian drama "Maedchen in Uniform", out writer-director Katherine Brooks unveils this passionate tale of forbidden love with intelligence, wit and sensitivity. Simone Bradley is Saint Theresa's prized young poetry teacher who finds peace and security within the boarding school walls. Surrounded by a lush atmosphere with little conflict, Simone has settled into a life of comfort and purpose educating her young female students. Annabelle is a charismatic and enchanting new student who quickly draws attention for her rebellious behavior. Fearing Annabelle will influence the other students, the rigid headmistress, instructs Simone to keep an eye on Annabelle and get her under control. Simone, however, quickly learns that the real challenge is not Annabelle's behavior but the attraction budding between the two. As Annabelle pursues her teacher, she unleashes the passion that has been locked deep inside Simone, who must decide whether or not to enter an affair that could cost her everything.

Comments about Bionic Gloves - Women's Half Finger Fitness Gloves:
I have usually bought all my gloves either at target or a sports store. They're all basically the same, thick and get stinky quick. So far these have been the best gloves ever. They are soft and very comfortable to wear…fits the expression, they fit like a glove. I've only had them for a few weeks so I can't say they won't get smelly but when/if they do I'll buy another pair from here just like them.

I'm fine with Easley as the first pick, but in my opinion the Patriots missed a golden opportunity with their 2nd pick (#62) for the player who I think will exceed all expectations in the NFL.
My belief is that Jimmy Garoppolo would have still been on the board in the 3rd round and if the Patriots were looking to bolster their running game, which they obviously were with their selection of James White in the 4th round, they could have and I believe should have taken Tre Mason, Auburn, with pick #62. Mason subsequently went to the Rams with pick #75.
I've seen this kid play, and he is definitely a 'keeper' and quite a few teams besides the PATS will rue the day that they passed over him in the draft.
Mason played in 12 games as a true freshman for Auburn in '11, rushing 28 times for 166 yards (5.9-yard average) and one touchdown while returning 24 kickoffs for 633 yards (26.4) and one touchdown. Led the SEC in kickoff return average. Won the kickoff return job in camp and scored on a 97-yard scamper in his collegiate debut.
After seeing limited action down the stretch, including losing his job as the kick returner, he was forced into a prominent role in the Chick-fil-A Bowl after starter Michael Dyer was suspended -- Mason responded with a 9-64-1 performance against Virginia.
Had a much larger role in '12, splitting time at running back and rushing 171-1,002-8 (5.9) and catching 7-86-0 (12.3) in 12 games (five starts). Was the first non-QB to lead Auburn in total offense since Bo Jackson in 1985. Had a breakout campaign in '13, piling up 317-1,816-23 (5.7) on the ground, 12-163-1 (13.6) receiving and 15-395-1 (26.3) returning kickoffs in 14 games (12 starts). Was a Heisman Trophy finalist, breaking Bo Jackson's single-season school mark with his SEC-high rushing yardage total. Also set school single-season records for all-purpose yards (2,374) and rushing touchdowns in winning SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Over Auburn's final three games against Alabama, Missouri and Florida State, he racked up 663 yards on the ground -- including a memorable 46-304-4 affair against Mizzou in the SEC Championship Game. Followed up that performance with 195 rushing yards vs. Florida State, the most ever for a running back in a BCS Championship Game.

Works superintendent Carl Gosnell announced during a meeting Thursday night that the Ridgway Township Municipal Authority has initiated their recently adopted flushing plan.
Authority members adopted the plan during the July meeting.
"We have initiated our flushing plan that has been approved by DEP [Department of Environmental Protection] and we will be implementing the flushing plan until further notice," Gosnell said.
The plan was initiated as a preventative measure to remove excess chlorine and other byproducts from the water system.
According to the plan, flushing will be initiated when water temperatures exceed 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
In other business, authority members are considering extending a water line along Water Works Road in an effort to increase water pressure to a few customers.
"I think they should extend the line and put more people on to give them the pressure they deserve without having to pay for it," said authority member Bill Briggs.

Gallery: Stunning Solar Powered Gateway Unveiled for Nigerian Capital
This stunning solar powered gateway will soon welcome visitors and residents to Abuja, Nigeria. Evoking the shape of the traditional Nigerian bow harp, the design connects the new Abuja Airport to the city proper on the opposite side of the freeway and comes complete with green roofs, a giant solar canopy and bricks made from the local laterite clay. Conceived by Ehrlich Architects, the design was recently crowned winner of an international competition to create a gateway for the capital city.
Dubbed the "living loom", Ehrlich Architect's design symbolizes the weaving together of the country's many different people. The sweeping gateway brings together the city of Abjua's modern atmosphere with the cultural heritage of Nigeria as a whole. On one side of the gateway is a public space where the arm of the loom reaches toward the sky. Colorful flags are tied to the cables that hold up the suspension bridge over the freeway. The plan also features an amphitheater and public space with a photovoltaic canopy to provide power and shade visitors from the sun. A green roof covers nearby buildings making them melt into the surrounding greenery.
Abuja was built starting in the late 1980's to replace Nigeria's existing capital, Lagos, which was becoming overcrowded. It is a city with a modern history and is home the brand new Abuja Airport. Steven Ehrlich worked with local firm Triad Associates to design the new project. Bringing together the shapes of the past and the technology of the future this gateway will surely offer an impressive "hello."

A refreshing proposal for the Capital City!
methinks it might be a tad bit surreal, (wondering how it will be built and maintained etc.) but on the whole a refreshing design.

When it was announced that Phish would be playing a show on the Ray Ban Stage at the Nawlins Jazzfest, it looked like I'd be making my first appearance in the state of Louisiana. Not only that, but tickets were only $10, and that included all-day admission to the Fairgrounds! Of course, there are many reasons to visit Nawlins, but Phish and Jazzfest are the ones that brought me there for the first time.
Phish was scheduled to play one set, starting at 3:25 PM. They opened with Ya Mar, which is the perfect summer opener, in this fan's opinion. Of course, it wasn't really summer yet, but I had traveled from Chicago, where it was cold and rainy, so this was close enough. The weather that weekend in Nawlins was hot and sunny, with a hundred percent chance of gettin' down! Trey quoted When the Saints Go Marching In during the Ya Mar. This opener really got the crowd in the mood to shake their bones!
The CTB featured Michael Ray on trumpet, and was quite a fun version. I only wish that he had stuck around for a few more tunes. This was followed by a YEM, which is notable for a modulation in the early stages of the jam, which gives way to some fine summery noodling by Trey. His soloing is very mellow, and makes me think of lazy summer evenings, when it's too hot to do anything other than sit on the porch, and have a beer with a friend. Of course, rock 'n roll Trey took over before we knew what was happening. That didn't last for too long, though, as the jam stops abruptly, and jumps into a vocal jam, which turned out to be an a cappella version of Wolfman's Brother. What a surprise! They sang two or three verses before Trey began some wah-wah. The rest of the band joined in soon enough. This was definitely the most interesting version of Wolfman's until 12/28/96 Philly.
When this Phish show ended, the party really didn't stop, because we were in Nawlins! The Funky Meters played right after Phish. For those of you keeping track, at 4:20, Harry Hood was gracing the ears of the sun-soaked crowd.

Harbord Loft Bisectional Sofa
by Gus Modern
At A Glance:
The Harbord Loft Bisectional Sofa is one of the most decked-out sofas in Gus Modern's lineup, with mid-century inspired features ranging from the tapered, solid wood legs with stringer accents to the thick, tufted seat cushions. Flanged arms provide handy armrests - or bookrests - and the entire sofa is topped off with the added benefit of a reconfigurable chaise.
What's To Like:
- The style of this sectional sofa is at once classic and modern. It's really helped along by the stunning flanged arms that define the piece.
- If you like to change the look of your living space, you'll love this: the chaise can be shifted from left to right side whenever the muse takes hold.
- Live big with a small footprint - this sectional sofa is sized for smaller living spaces.
What's Not to Like:
With all its accents and thick tufted upholstery, the Harbord Bisectional ends up costing a pretty penny.
The Bottom Line:
The Harbord Loft Bisectional Sofa from Gus Modern is, notwithstanding its sticker price, a great deal for those who like sofas with crafty details and accents. It's modern and classic/contemporary at the same time.

vehicle wheel dollies
I would be curious to know how to make wheel dollies for moving cars around in the shop freely in any direction, I have seen them before but did not pay much attention at the time. Those are probaly going to be some ultra expensive casters used on the dollys. Anyone got an Idea of reccomended caster ratings? IE if one wheel dollie will hold 1000 lbs do the 4 casters each need to be capable of holding 1000 lbs each or just some percentage of the weight?Time to learn & Time to burn...

How To Buy A Pitching Machine
Pitching machines are powerful and versatile training tools for all ages
levels of play. Experienced baseball and softball players use these machines
to refine their swing technique and to practice hitting high-velocity and trick
pitches. Developing players benefit from the ball's predictable course,
which allows them to work on mechanics under consistent conditions and
alleviates fear of errant balls. Players
also report that pitching machines prevent the development of a loopy, upward
style after years of coaches' lobbed pitches.
Type of Play
You'll find pitching machines everywhere from a neighbor's backyard to
little league practice to the major league fields. Why? These machines come
in an array of shapes and sizes to address all types of training
Different machines are suitable for different types of recreation and home training.
Youth League
Pitching machines are popular in youth leagues because they deliver safe,
reliable pitches. This helps young players develop skills with consistency and
without fear of being hit by an errant pitch.
High School, Collegiate, and Professional
At this level, pitching machines should deliver fast pitches and a variety of pitch types.
Pitching machines used for softball should come equipped with options
specific to the
sport. It's helpful to acquaint yourself with the pitching machine features
that are intended for softball play.

I heard a writer talking about pantsing a story. What does that mean?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Writers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for authors, editors, reviewers, professional writers, and aspiring writers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
"Pantsing" refers to simply writing a story without much, if any, preparation or pre-writing -- just writing down whatever comes to you, and letting the story go (and wander) wherever it feels like at the moment you're writing it down.
As for etymology, I'm not sure where it comes from. In general, "pantsing" refers to a prank in which you pull someone's pants down, but I'm not sure how that plays into the idea of writing (aside from the fact that both can be surprising).

Our Philosophy &
What is the difference between Computational Finance and Financial Engineering?
While the terms "quantitative finance," "computational finance," "mathematical finance," and "financial engineering" are often used interchangeably, there exist relevant, subtle differences in their meanings: Financial Engineering programs often emphasize finance and financial markets at the expense of more rigorous computing and quantitative skills. Some Mathematical Finance programs focus on theoretical math at the expense of real-world application. Few programs embed programming into their curricula and fewer still have been able to replicate Carnegie Mellon's well-balanced and carefully coordinated mix of math, probability, applied finance and computation.
Do I need to schedule an admissions interview?
Applicants may be contacted by email to arrange an on-campus or virtual face-to-face interview via webcam using video calling software before a final decision is made on your candidacy. Interviews are granted at the discretion of the MSCF Admissions Committee after an initial review of your application. Therefore, requests for interviews will not be granted. Interviews can take place at any time in the application process.
How successful are MSCF students in the career search?
The MSCF program began in 1994. With over 1,100 alums, almost all working in the quantitative finance industry, the MSCF program is well-known and highly respected, drawing much interest from sell-side and buy-side recruiters. In large part, it is the success of former students, now prospering alums, that is our most persuasive marketing strategy!
We maintain a robust database of career-related statistics and encourage applicants to consider our success in helping students secure excellent opportunities in the quantitative finance industry. You are unlikely to find such in-depth employment statistics at our peer schools!
What is the average starting salary?
Is there a different application process for a reapplicant?
If you have submitted an application for the MSCF program within the last year, you need to submit a new application since we have changed application systems. However, we will waive your application fee.
Interviews will be granted only at the invitation of the admissions committee based on our review of your submitted MSCF application. Please note that interview invitations may be extended at any time after you submit your reapplication, up until the date that your admission decision is released.
Should you have any questions about the re-application process, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
What makes the mini-semester system unique?
Are transfer credits accepted?
No, the MSCF program does not accept transfer credits.
Do all candidates have to submit test scores?
You are required to submit an official copy of either your GMAT directly from Pearson VUE or GRE scores directly from ETS. You must have taken the test within five years of submitting your application.
When you take the exam, select the appropriate code as follows:
While the MSCF program accepts either the GMAT or the GRE, if you have yet to take either, we recommend that candidates take the GRE. This score provides additional information to the Admissions Committee that may benefit the applicant. If you have not yet taken a test, we encourage you to take the GRE.
If you hold a Ph.D. from a U.S. institution in a related discipline at the time of application AND are able to submit a photocopy of the GMAT/GRE that was part of your original Ph.D. application, you may not be required to submit a new, valid copy of the GMAT/GRE test results. Additionally, we will extend this for candidates who are expected to complete their Ph.D. studies at a U.S. institution by July 31, 2016 for students applying to the program for the fall 2016 entering class. Such requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the MSCF Admissions Committee. If you meet BOTH of these criteria, you can request an exemption of the new test score policy by submitting a completed application including a statement requesting a waiver in the optional essay D and mail a photocopy of your previous test score to the MSCF Admissions Office. We will notify you only if you have not been granted the waiver.
Do I need to submit the TOEFL or IELTS?
Candidates are required to demonstrate a level of competence in English to meet the admissions requirements of the University. You are required to take a TOEFL or IELTS exam unless:
Candidates who are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS must have received their unofficial scores prior to submitting their application. Be sure to request the official scores be sent to Carnegie Mellon University by the testing agency.
How much work experience do I need?
How much math and statistics will I need?
The MSCF Program is highly quantitative. While the background of our students varies, most have taken engineering-level math courses beyond Calculus such as Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. A calculus-based probability course is also required.
The MSCF Program includes a detailed treatment of the mathematical models of quantitative finance, and this involves stochastic calculus and its applications. Undergraduate courses that cover both probability and statistics rather than just probability often devote insufficient time to the probability content needed to sufficiently prepare students for the level of probability encountered in MSCF. If you have not previously taken a calculus-based probability course, you should look for a course covering advanced topics in probability including the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, moment-generating functions, multivariate probability distributions, conditional distributions, and independence, covariance and correlation of random variable.
How much programming experience will I need?
If admitted, am I able to defer enrollment?
We do not defer enrollments but we will keep your admissions materials on file for one year. Should you choose to seek admission the following year, your candidacy will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant pool at that time. We do offer a streamlined reapplication process for candidates reapplying within one year.
Are there restrictions for applying to the Online MSCF Program?
The Online MSCF program is not able to accept students who are residents of Alabama, Arkansas and Minnesota for enrollment in courses and programs delivered via distance education because it has not applied for or received authorization from these states to deliver courses and programs via distance education to residents of these states.
Carnegie Mellon has not currently applied for or received authorization from these states because Carnegie Mellon has determined that the administrative and other requirements to obtain and maintain authorization for its distance education courses and programs that would otherwise be delivered to residents of these states, including the fees charged by these states and the additional administrative costs associated with doing so, are disproportionately burdensome, excessive and/or prohibitive, at least at the present time.
Note, residents of Alabama, Arkansas and Minnesota are eligible to apply for enrollment in all other Carnegie Mellon courses and programs, including those offered at any of its various campus locations.
Inquiries regarding the above may be directed to:
Director of Enrollment Services
Carnegie Mellon University
Warner Hall A19
5000 Forbes Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15213
Telephone: 412-268-5399
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Is financial aid available?
Yes, financial aid is available in the form of scholarships, loans and a tuition payment plan. For additional questions on financing your MSCF education, please contact the Financial Aid Office by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 412-268-1242.
All full-time students admitted to the program are considered for an MSCF Merit Scholarship. No additional application to qualify for this award is required. Criteria is based on the strength of the student's candidacy relative to the overall applicant pool for the year. Scholarship decisions are made at the time of the admissions decision. All merit scholarships are partial.
Qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents may be eligible federal Direct student loans, including Unsubsidized and Grad Plus Loans. Private (non-federal) education loans also are available to U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens. Generally private education loans require non-U.S citizens to have a U.S. cosigner for the loan.
All Carnegie Mellon students are eligible for a tuition payment plan which allows monthly payments with no accrued interest charge. Students pay an enrollment fee for participation in the plan.
What is the background of admitted students?
What is the difference between the NYC and Pittsburgh campuses?
May I visit the Pittsburgh or New York campus?
What other schools are considered by those seeking MSCF admission?
Increased competition has not only kept us striving to continually improve the program but has also significantly increased the awareness of the "quantitative finance" category within the financial services industry. While we believe our program to be the best of its kind, other schools considered by applicants exploring Carnegie Mellon's MSCF program include Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Stanford and UC Berkeley.
You can find a more complete program listing at Quantnet.
Are there any preparatory courses?
Each year, the MSCF program will offer optional mathematics and programming preparation courses. While these courses are designed for those whose skills may have become a bit rusty, the courses are proven to be beneficial to nearly all MSCF students who take it.
The mathematics course is in part a refresher course in calculus, covering some of the calculations that arise in subsequent MSCF courses, but it also covers related mathematics topics and helps students practice mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills. The course is setup as a problem-working seminar. Problems will be assigned and these and similar problems will be worked in class. The following is an example of the material you may see:
The programming course is a refresher course in basic C++ syntax and rudimentary program development. The course may involve hands-on program development in the following areas:
Individuals not enrolled in the MSCF program can participate in the courses at a tuition of $3000. To qualify, submit your resume along with a list of previous calculus and probability courses taken to Jessica Bittel at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When does the MSCF program begin?
Is there any flexibility in the part-time schedule?
When is the application deadline?
We keep an updated calendar of key application dates and deadlines available online.
Why was I not admitted to the MSCF program?
If you are not granted admission into the program it simply means your candidacy was not as strong as others for a very limited number of openings. We will hold all application materials for one year at which time you can reapply using our streamlined reapplication process.
Will units transfer from the certificate program?

Export opportunities will drive SBR markets during the second half of 2013
1:22 PM MDT | March 22, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Global styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) prices are expected to be torn in the first half of this year between soft demand downstream from tire manufacturing, as the automotive sector continues to face challenges, and high feedstock costs upstream. Exports, mainly to Asia, are expected to be the driving force behind the SBR market during the second half of the year, provided that automotive demand recovers, a recent IHS Chemical global olefin and elastomer report says. Continued weak demand for SBR in Europe during early 2013 reflects falling car sales there in...

Powered by IBS Cloud Solutions
Introducing cloud-based AP automation that saves time and money!Originally Presented Tuesday, May 14th, 2013
Manually processing invoices drains two of your most valuable resources: time and labor. If you rely on an AP clerk to enter invoices, and your approval and payment processes aren't fully automated, then it might be time to review your current procure-to-pay cycle.
Here's why:
And with the integration work to IBS already completed, the implementation time (including training) is measured in days, not weeks.
Mediusflow XI—a workflow solution for accounts payable automation—enables you to better automate, control and manage all financial processes by designing workflows that meet your unique business needs. You can expand the workflow footprint beyond the confines of your ERP solution, and streamline the AP process to turn a non-revenue generating department into one that improves the bottom line.
We've streamlined accounts payables, reducing staffing from 2.5 FTEs to 1 FTE while still managing the same number of invoices. Today, 60% of our invoices are electronic.

Two motorcyclists were killed on U.S. 301 in Brandywine last week.
Maryland State Police from the Forestville barrack reported that at 11:11 p.m. May 2, a van was at the intersection of southbound U.S. 301 and Short Cut Road when the driver failed to yield the right of way to northbound traffic and struck two motorcycles.
The motorcyclists, Caleb D. Williams and Herby H. Bolick Jr., were pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the van, Brian M. Kauten, was transported to an area hospital by ambulance, police said.
Trooper N. Murray is investigating.

Practice Philosophy
Enhancing your appearance changes how you feel about yourself. It is important you trust your doctor. Dr. Nickodem believes in educating the patient to actively participate in the decision making and care. She provides individualized consultation for your specific concerns. The physician-patient relationship is one of comfort and confidence. Questions are welcomed. Dr. Nickodem and her staff are dedicated to providing state of the art care in the practice of aesthetic and breast surgery.
Body Contouring
Facial Aesthetics
The first step in any procedure is a consultation between a board-certified doctor and the patient. The patient's expectations must be realistic and the surgeon's attainable goals thoroughly addressed. The following services are offered:
Facial Rejuvenation:
A plan is developed during the consultation that may include one or several of these services:
Blepharoplasty; eyelid surgery that may involve upper lid, lower lid or all lids
Rhinoplasty; recontours the shape of the nose
Face-lift; rejuvenates an aging face
In-office options may include injectable materials such as botox, collagen or fat.
Services that involve the breast may include augmentation, reduction or reconstruction. Breast augmentation enhances the size and shape of a women's breast surgically by using implants. The BRAVA Breast enhancement system is a non-surgical method of increasing breast volume and provides mild lifting. The goal for breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is to achieve a more natural body proportion as well as maintain the viability of the native nipple areolar complex. In men this is called gynecomastia. The breast is reconstructed after the loss of a breast due to diagnosis of cancer. Muscle flap reconstruction or an implant is used to create a breast mound. A nipple tattoo is then added to complete the reconstruction.
Body Contouring:
Liposuction or liposculpture is the contouring of trunk and extremities with the removal of fat cells through multiple incisions. A healthy diet and active lifestyle are advised before and after surgery.
Outpatient surgical centers fully licensed and staffed by board-certified anesthesiologists. Private overnight stay available upon request.

Smartphones have revolutionized the way we communicate and do business. These phones can do almost everything computers can, and then some. Phone makers have been releasing new units at a pace that seems to be a new phone every week. The majority of these phones run on the Android OS, which makes up nearly half of the total market share.
There is one drawback to these phones: battery life. Let's face it, while battery life is increasing, it is still poor on many devices. With moderate usage, a phone like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will last about 12 hours - not ideal for people who are on the go and away from a power source for an extended time. Here are some tips that can help extend battery life of your Android phone (these tips are for Android 2.2 and 2.3-Gingerbread):
Turn off 3G The majority of new phones are set up to automatically connect to a 3G network. This is great if you have constant connection with 3G. However, if you live in an area where it isn't established, or there is spotty service, your phone will constantly search for a 3G network to connect to. This can drain your battery. To check if your phone is using 3G go to:
- Settings, press wireless
- Select Mobile Network
- Select Data enabled
- Uncheck connect to 3G
- Settings
- Display
- Brightness, and adjust the level down.
Carry an emergency charger For extended trips and when you know you are going to be away from a power source for an extended time, there are many different types of chargers that cater to your needs. The majority of chargers use AA batteries and can provide a needed extension to your battery life.
For more information on increasing your battery life and Android, please contact us.

Tremendous advances in our understanding of pathologic mechanisms have recently revealed that defective protein processing within the secretory pathway is an integral component of many genetic and environmental diseases. Diverse disease states ranging from diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, to hemophilia and lysosomal storage diseases have all been characterized by folding defects or impaired transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Very recently it has come to light that deregulation of protein synthesis may be a key component in the pathogenesis of cancer and metastasis. When misfolded protein accumulates in the ER lumen, the cell activates the adaptive arm of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) to clear the malfolded proteins and restore homeostatic protein processing. When a stress is prolonged or robust the UPR employs a genetic pathway that results in cell death. The proposed studies are to focus attention to identify and characterize drug-like small molecule activators of the adaptive pathway. We will investigate the hypotheses that activation of the IRE1-XBP1 (adaptive) arm will facilitate a prolonged recovery opportunity in pathologies where cells are burdened with an accumulation of mis-folded or poorly secreted proteins.
For this screen, a cell-based assay was utilized using a cell line stably transfected to report on the IRE1-XBP1 pathway via a luciferase-based reporter system. Activation of the IRE1-XBP1-mediated adaptive response leads to the activation of luciferase expression which can be quantified via luminescence.
The goal of this assay is as a counterscreen for hits from "uHTS identification of small molecule activators of the apoptotic arm of the Unfolded Protein response via a luminescent-based reporter assay", AID 449763 and to study the structure-activity relationship on analogs of the confirmed hits.

10. Filter the cell suspension with cell strainer.
11. Count the cells and adjust cell density to 1.0 x 105 cells/mL in media.
Compounds with and EC50_Mean <= 20 uM are defined as actives in this assay.
To simplify the distinction between the inactives of the primary screen and of the confirmatory screening stage, the Tiered Activity Scoring System was developed and implemented. Its utilization for the assay is described below.
Activity Scoring
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary screening data and is not applicable in this assay.
2) Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable in this assay.
3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues
a. Inactive compounds of the confirmatory stage are assigned a score value equal 81.
b. The score is linearly correlated with a compound potency and, in addition, provides a measure of the likelihood that the compound is not an artifact based on the available information.
c. The Hill coefficient is taken as a measure of compound behavior in the assay via an additional scaling factor QC:
QC = 2.6*[exp(-0.5*nH^2) - exp(-1.5*nH^2)]
This empirical factor prorates the likelihood of target-specific compound effect vs. its non-specific behavior in the assay. This factor is based on expectation that a compound with a single mode of action that achieved equilibrium in this assay demonstrates the Hill coefficient value of 1. Compounds deviating from that behavior are penalized proportionally to the degree of their deviation.
d. Summary equation that takes into account the items discussed above is
Score = 82 + 3*(pIC50 - 3)*QC,
where pIC50 is a negative log(10) of the IC50 value expressed in mole/L concentration units. This equation results in the Score values above 85 for compounds that demonstrate high potency and predictable behavior. Compounds that are inactive in the assay or whose concentration-dependent behavior are likely to be an artifact of that assay will generally have lower Score values.

SANFORD, Fla.—Seventeen-year-old Contessa Skelton learned that her mother had lost her job—for the second time in two years—as they stood in the parking lot outside her dentist's office.
Her mom told her the bad news. Together, they cried a little. "I was shocked," Tessa says, about one year later. "I didn't know what to think at first."
Her mother assured her that everything would be OK. Still, it was hard for Tessa to believe that after her mother's employer, Remington Colleges, had given her all of one hour to clean out her desk—along with just a week of severance pay. Her mother had lost her previous, long-standing job at GE Capital less than two years earlier.
The unemployment rate in Florida that July 2011 still hovered above 10 percent. No one was having an easy time getting or keeping a stable, well-paying job, even people who had a college degree or had worked for a major corporation.
High school had already been a rocky time, financially and socially, for Tessa. She had learned to watch her money constantly, incessantly even, thanks to her mom's bouts with unemployment. Did she have enough for gas? What about lunch, if she wanted to go off campus for pizza with her friends? She also needed money for a swim-team uniform and dues for dance competitions. And that summer, just before her senior year, the expenses of applying to college loomed large. If college was a ticket to prosperity, then just getting in line to get in—paying for the SATs and sending in applications—cost hundreds of dollars.
Tessa already worked 20-plus hours a week at a pizza place called Hungry Howie's, where she made pies, took orders over the phone, and worked the register for $7.85 an hour. Now, she'd need to keep up her hours (along with her grades) during her senior year if she wanted any pocket money. For someone from her solidly middle-class background, it was a weird feeling to worry so much about money.
Yet, Tessa's story is hardly a unique coming-of-age moment. At the height of the economic crisis, in 2010, more than 8 million children and teenagers in the United States lived with an unemployed parent, according to the Brookings Institution. That's one of every nine kids, living in the shadow of the most severe wave of job losses since the Great Depression.
Their experiences and worldviews, although still coming into focus, are part of the trickle-down effect of the jobless recovery. The Obama administration says that the economy is slowly improving, and unemployment has fallen below 8 percent; but for many children and teens of jobless parents, the experience of the Great Recession lives on and will probably stay with them for years.
"We need to think of this recession as a two-generation phenomenon. We focus on tracking job losses with the parent generation, but you rarely think about what will happen to the kids," says Ariel Kalil, a psychology professor at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago.
For Tessa, the financial stress was something she didn't like to discuss with her peers. In fact, she felt like she couldn't even relate to one of her oldest pals (whom she had known since they were 4) during the months when her mom was unemployed and they lived on $275 a week in unemployment benefits, occasional checks from family members, and free food from local pantries. Tessa used her own money for gasoline, school fees, clothing, and anything else she needed, while her mom ran through her savings and took out a home-equity loan.
"I always keep hope and keep fighting.... I know if I stick to it, I can achieve greatness."—Dasia Isom, 17
"I separated myself from friends who cared more about popularity and who were flaky," Tessa says. "Lots of their parents just give them money."
The gulf between her life and her classmates' seemed particularly stark, she says, when she wanted to join a school club known for its parties and formal events. "You had to dress up for all of them," Tessa remembers. She didn't have enough money for the dues or the outfits. "Even $5 is a lot right now," she says. "I probably lost friends."
The three years of high school when her mom was in and out of work did build her character, Tessa is quick to say. She's more careful with money now—grateful for what she owns and what she has accomplished. She and her mom remain close. (Her dad, who offers little financial support, lives in Tennessee.)
But the tough times also radically shifted the way she thinks about her finances, career, goals, and friendships. Today, there's an entire generation of young people who have watched their parents get laid off, accept lower-paying jobs, move around for work, and, in some cases, lose their homes.
Economists, sociologists, and politicians know little about this group in real time; their knowledge is limited to what they can extrapolate from research and anecdotes from previous recessions. And young people like Tessa are only now starting to realize that their families' long brushes with unemployment have made them different than others.

If you're new to this site please take some time to read a few of the discussions we've been having about the new license key system that went into effect at the end of August.
This site is trying hard to figure out a way to make the concept of donationware work.
We know it can be annoying to sign up just to get a license key for freeware. There are so many high quality pure freeware applications available that it seems unreasonably annoying to make people sign up and download license keys.
I sympathize with any frustration you might have about having to jump through some hoops to use our programs without donating.
Please understand that our intentions are good and we are trying to strike a balance between on one hand encouraging people who can donate to do so (and donate an amount that they choose is fair), with the desire to keep our programs freely available to everyone.
Mainly we are motivated by a desire to make the concept of donation-based software be successfull where it has not been in the past (if you think it's unnesceary to do all of these other things to motivate donations, just ask any software author who has put up a link to request donations if anyone ever donates).
We are still experimenting to find the right balance. Please bear with us, and we are very willing to listen to any suggestions, complaints, etc. If you look around this forum you will see we take suggestions from users extremely seriously.
If you do decide to make a donation, know that you are helping us to make this a better site.
