On "Futures Now," Stutland is able to show the world that Chicago is king of the futures markets as he discusses how to invest one's portfolio with derivative type investments.
For Stutland,success in providing investors with actionable information does not come without an extensive success line himself.

Whether it has been creating liquidity for customers to access the Chicago Board Options Exchange's products or broadcasting live media from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading floors, Stutland has given Chicago and its city exposure to Wall Street. Stutland first established himself as a true market participant as founder and head trader of the biggest VIX options market making firm on the CBOE from 2006 to 2014.

This song shouldn't be on the list! It may be a little overplayed, but it's still a good song.
First of all, this song is actually decently produced.
Secondly, it's PBR&B, not pop. - Swellow
Ugh, Justin Bieber! I don't like him or his music at all.

One-Legged Downward-Facing Dog Pose is great for so many things, including stretching the hamstrings and hips. It calms the mind, energizes, strengthens the arms and improves balance. It relieves insomnia, headache and back pain. It can also lower blood pressure and help with asthma, flat feet, sciatica and sinusitis.
Begin on your hands and knees, with your knees below your hips and your hands slightly in front of your shoulders. Spread your palms and press into the floor, keeping your index fingers parallel or turned out slightly.
Come onto the balls of your feet and lift your knees off the floor. To start, it's perfectly okay for your knees to remain bent and for your heels to be off the floor. Lengthen your spine, tilting your tailbone forward.
Actively lift your sitting bones and top thighs toward the ceiling. Lower your heels to the floor--or close to the floor. Straighten your legs, being careful to not lock your knees. Firm your outer thighs and roll them in slightly.
Firm your outer arms, pressing your index fingers into the floor. Lift along your inner arms and inner legs. Firm your shoulder blades down against your back and then open them widely. Keep your head between your arms, looking toward your legs.
Lift your right leg out behind you. Actively reach behind you as you firm your upper thigh and tilt your tailbone toward your pelvis. Keep your shoulders and pelvis square, being careful to not twist your hips and collapse your torso.
Hold for 30 seconds or however long is comfortable for you. Gently return to starting position and then rest for a few breaths in Child's Pose. Repeat, lifting your opposite leg. Don't forget to breathe!

July 15th, 2007, 10:37 PM #1Estimated taxes
Hi folks,
Just getting around to doing my taxes for last year (hey, been busy with my affiliate businesses ) and I'm seeing those dreaded words "estimated taxes" which, for the first time seem as though they might be relevant??
If I should happen to start making gobs of money (non-taxed affiliate income, that is) should I start paying estimated taxes? I know I probably need a tax advisor for the specifics but just wanted to get an idea from some of you that have been through this.
Thanks in advance!
July 15th, 2007, 11:43 PM #2
If you want to avoid penalties and interest, you definitely need to pay estimated taxes. I think they give you a break the first year, but after that you have penalties if you don't pay enough estimated taxes. The specifics vary depending on a number of different factors, so definitely consult a tax advisor or brush up on the rules yourself.

I wish we could calculate, submit, and receive 'estimated refunds' instead. I heard there are people that actually get refunds... LOL! UGH!

I think I'd ask an accountant at what dollar amount you should start paying estimated quarterly. I didn't pay it for years when my sites were considered a hobby that generated income but my income didn't exceed $5K/year.
When I started doing this full-time I started paying estimated quarterly. I pay a little bit in Q1, Q2 and Q3. When my big commission checks from November arrive in December I write a big check to the IRS for Q4 and that's usually more than sufficient to cover my annual taxes. The IRS doesn't seem to mind that I do this.
July 16th, 2007, 07:30 AM #5
Similar to Rhea, my accountant has it set up for me to pay less in Q1 and Q2 than in Q3 and Q4. My travel commissions are largest from this point of the year (summer) on forward. As long as an "uneven" trend of income can be documented, the IRS will allow it.
Unfortunately, the portion of income from "self employment" is subject to both portions of the Social Security tax. That, in effect, increases your "tax bracket" because you are essentially the employer AND the employee.
In a way it is really nice to be paying estimated taxes...because that means you are earning $$$from this business.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

I forget what the threshold is but if you have to pay over a certain amount at the end of the year, you should be paying quarterly estimated taxes. My accountant sets up my estimated payments based on the previous year's income and, 2 weeks before the estimated is due, we look at my earnings and make the necessary adjustments since my income fluctuates quarter to quarter (so far the fluctuations have been increasing )Greg Rice Affiliate Program Management

In most cases, you must make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes for the year - over and above the amount withheld from your wages.
If your prior year adjusted gross income was $150,000 or less, then you can avoid a penalty if you pay either 90 percent of this year's income tax liability or 100 percent of your income tax liability from last year (dividing what you paid last year into four quarterly payments). This rule helps if you have a big spike in income one year, say because you sell an investment for a huge gain or win the lottery. If wage withholding for the year equals the amount of tax you owed in the previous year, then you wouldn't need to pay estimated taxes no matter how much extra tax you owe on your windfall.
If your prior year adjusted gross income was greater than $150,000, then you must pay either 90 percent of this year's income tax liability or 110 percent of last year's income tax liability.
Payments are due on April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15 of the following year. You can skip the final payment if you will file your return and pay all the tax due by February 1.Bob Pets Warehouse

Should be no surprises. Estimated taxes are based on your previous year so you know the basis upon which you are starting. If you filed extensions last year you should have paid in at least what you actually owed.
July 16th, 2007, 09:48 AM #9
Thanks everyone for the good information. Fortunately, my taxes for next year seem to be increasing quickly and steadily Wow, never thought I'd say that
Guess it's time to hire an accountant. Any good recommendations in the north-west Atlanta area (ie. 20 miles outside the perimeter for you locals)?

Anne: You don't want too much of a refund. You're giving an interest free loan to the government if you do.
And you and I both know that you can do better things with the money than they do, right? (No matter WHO's in office...)
This is the first year I will be filing quarterly, actually.Kevin Webster

I need to put them into individual folders or albums (I just need a way to seperate them). I have tried everything but it does not appear as though the Incredible has this capability. I did a search and found some instructions using Astro file manager however this did not work for me. Therefore, is there any decent apps out there that will allow me to create folders (or albums) and put pics into them? I also need to somehow backup the photos (probably directly off of the SD card onto my PC). Thanks for any much needed help!!!

VICTORIAN Labor will this week ramp up its attack on the East West Link, claiming it will be one of the most expensive pieces of infrastructure ever built.
With the 6km project likely to be a federal election issue in some key seats this Saturday, the state Opposition says the tunnel's price tag of up to $1.3 million a metre is significantly more than other tunnel projects in Australia.
On a per kilometre basis, Labor says the East West Link project will cost about three times the price of the Clem Jones Tunnel in Brisbane and more than three-and-a-half times the cost of the Lane Cove tunnel in Sydney.
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said other projects would miss out because the road between the Eastern Freeway and Citylink in Parkville will suck up so much money.
"Denis Napthine needs to explain to Victorians why this $8 billion dud tunnel will be one of the most expensive roads ever built in Australia," Mr Andrews said.
But Victorian Treasurer Michael O'Brien slammed Labor's figures, calling it a "kindergarten attempt" at comparing costs of vastly different projects.
"It is this type of Labor incompetence that gave Victorians white elephants like the desalination plant," he said.
The new dispute over East West comes as infrastructure kingpin Sir Rod Eddington urged governments to be more transparent and release business cases for major projects.
The State Government has only published an executive summary of the business case for the first stage of the East West Link, which it says is more information than Labor governments provided for some major projects.
But Sir Rod said he hoped there would become a point where government would be prepared "wherever they can" to release more information about benefit-cost ratios for big project.

"Pet Stores in the U.S. make $19 billion, says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "Revenue from premium products and services is projected to increase and the industry is projected to maintain strong growth."
Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2016
World Patent Marketing, a vertically integrated manufacturer and engineer of patented products, announces the Hide a Scooper, a pet invention that allows pet owners to clean up after their pets in a more hygienic manner.
"Pet Stores in the U.S. make $19 billion, says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "Revenue from premium products and services is projected to increase and the industry is projected to maintain strong growth."
"A lot of people have pets in their homes and consider them as part of the family," says Jerry Shapiro, Director of Manufacturing and World Patent Marketing Inventions. "However, taking care of pets is like taking care of a toddler which entails one to clean after their messes. The Hide a Scooper allows people to easily scoop up animal poop without having to pick it up manually or deal with its foul smell."
The Hide a Scooper is a pet invention that provides a better cleaning option for cleaning up after pets. It comes with a bucket-style container and special attachment that serves as the scooper. This special attachment allows users to scoop up animal feces off the floor in an easy and hygienic manner. Once this is done, the scooper stores the animal poop inside the container for further disposal. Not only does the Hide a Scooper allow an anxious-free way of cleaning up after pets, it also provides an efficient way to prevent the spreading of foul odors and bacteria in the home.
"World Patent Marketing introduces the next innovation in pet products called the Hide A Scooper," says inventor Tony E. "This product provides pet owners a convenient, clean and aesthetic way to store used pooper scoopers by concealing, removing waste, eliminating unpleasant odors and keeping pesky flies away. Avoid having children playing with the pooper scooper or neighbors complaining about the odor, Hide A Scooper the right solution for a stinking problem."
Ellen Marshall, a pet owner and employee at a local bank in South Carolina, has this to say about the Hide a Scooper: "Cleaning up after pets can be nightmare and downright gross. Sometimes, the smell gets so bad that I have to air out my living every so often. With this amazing invention called the Hide a Scooper, I can now clean after my adorable Shih Tzu without having to deal with foul odors and germs."
The Hide a Scooper is an amazing pet invention that every pet owner should own in order to keep their indoors clean and free from bad odors and bacteria.

So last week i was invited by One Piece Saloon team to try their new Carbonated water system, and I have no idea what that's mean. this event was held at the One Piece Saloon at Kelapa Gading, as you may know that this is the new branch at kelapa gading.
The saloon feels so comfy and clean. All the staff very friendly with me. So when I arrived Mrs. Oktarina explain to me what is Carbonated water system and why is that important for our hair. So basically Carbonated Water System is a soda water that can help clean your scalp and hair. Also this carbonated water can help to lock you colored hair, make your hair shine and many more.
Mrs.Oktarina and Kyosuke told me that water in Indonesia is very dirty and it doesn't help to clean up your hair, so just by washing your hair with a regular water isn't enough to remove all the dirt, shampoo left over. And that's why we will have a hair fall and dandruff.
The process for this carbonated system is that we have to clean up our hair (shampoo), then rinse it off, until there's no more soap left over. After that they used the carbonated water on my hair, and with this carbonated water I can see lot's of dirt and shampoo left over and they said that my hair is very dirty. And after that they towel dry my hair and wrap it with a towel, I started to feel a tingling around my scalp. And the One Piece staff told me that it was normal, because my scalp is very clean now. The tingling sensation last for 10 minutes, and when I rub my scalp I started to feel the tingling again.
This treatment cost for IDR 100,000.-, and you can try this treatment at One Piece Saloon only, they said that use this treatment for twice a week will give you the best result. So what do you think? I do believe that this carbonated system can help clean my scalp.
and here's the styling for my hair and i so in love with the style! it look messy curl!!
Thank you One Piece saloon for inviting me to this event.

Your pain is not just due to your injures and insults, but also diet and the slow depletion of energy (enzymes) and resources (minerals, hormones, neurotransmitters) in dealing with your life-conditions. For an experiment try to cut all grains and sugar from the diet, and only have about � cup of sweet fruit or sweet vegetables (corn, carrot, beets) per day. If you do this along with radically increasing your raw greens intake your pain levels will drop within days.
Sugar makes the nerves more sensitive to pain and dismantles protein structures in the body, it also encourages yeast which produces toxins that increase pain. You will find pain and depression will lift by dropping the majority of carbohydrates from your diet. Grains are for the birds not for apes like us humans, they should only be used for occasional use like once or twice a month at that. Also try to use easily digestible dairy such as yogurt and feta so you don't deplete the body's enzyme supply.
Calcium is the major mineral for pain and damage control in the body and it is especially necessary during the catabolic breakdown of tissues during metamorphosis. Save your egg shells, grind them and put the powder in your potting mix for growing sprouts. I eat mostly green buckwheat sprouts and wheat grass for juice, other sprouts don't interest me much. Any increase in calcium/magnesium in the blood will reduce pain...Silicon is transmuted into calcium in the body, silicon rich herbs are: Nettle, Oatstraw, Horsetail, Eyebright, Cornsilk, Comfrey, Lemon grass, Ginger.
In my experience Olive Leaf helps to build cell membranes and the myelin sheath of nerves protecting against inflammation (free radicals) and so reduces pain and the raw-nerve exposure feeling of the body. Try to grow olive trees wherever you go, dry the leaves, grind, sift and put into capsules. Ginkgo, Gotu kola, Ginseng, Echinacea and Golden seal should also be grown.
Milk thistle will help the liver to detoxify, once the liver is healed this helps all tissues to reinstate their integrity. A happy liver=pain free body. By boosting both zinc and selenium this will increase free radical (antioxidant) protection thereby reduce pain. By aiding the adrenal glands licorice will also reduce pain, as will Gingko by improving circulation and oxygen supply. White willow (Salix Alba) is the original source of aspirin. The bark of white willow has a longer half-life in the body than aspirin does.
Papaya/banana smoothies also reduce pain in my experience, perhaps due to Beta Carotene and enzymatic energy lift. I have a feeling that papaya leaf/seeds will also reduce pain. The papain enzyme found in papaya can readily digest protein in either and acid, alkaline or neutral medium. Both fat, carbohydrate and protein digestion is helped by papaya. Papain is also a powerful mucus solvent that helps to cleanse the intestinal walls and tissues of waste matter. Papain has the ability to breakdown proteins and converts some of it into Arginine which increases Growth Hormone Release.
Get some pure real rosemary oil and rub into your neck, shoulders, spine, feet and calves. Grow rosemary and capsulate it also, and use it as a tea or in food, it's a major antioxidant and nerve protector.
Anything GREEN reduces pain by increasing oxygen and by alkalinizing, remineralizing and detoxifying. Raw cabbage reduces pain very effectively by helping the liver, it can be added to daily vegetable juice intake.
Anything that buffers and alkalinizes acids/toxins/free radicals will reduce pain. The ionic effect of clay does this, either taken internally or as a clay mask, body-pack, or bath. Baths made from a tea of ginger root, peppermint (is cooling and boosts energy), catnip, chamomile, borage, comfrey, basil etc....will reduce pain. Also 1 Tblsp of Caster oil added to the bath helps the body to gently detoxify and leads to a feeling of expansion. Mineral salts from thermal areas added to the bath will also reduce pain and provide energy.
OTHER HERBS FOR PAIN: Aloe extract, Kava Kava, Sheep's Sorrel, Olive Leaf, Valerian root, Wild Yam, Garlic, Lemon balm, Catnip, Chaparral, Chamomile, Yucca root, Borage, California poppy, Mullen, Marshmallow, Slippery Elm, White Oak Bark, Licorice, Peppermint. Cardamon, Dong quai and Angelica have warming, blood and chi moving properties. Sassafras/Ginger/Cinnamon stick chi would also be good for arthritis type pains, giving a warming grounding feeling. Feverfew might be useful to counter the effect of excessive opiate production, dizziness, brain and nerve pressure from an overactive nervous system.

Amersham are back with 2 brand new singles "Dilemma" and "Fake"
After nearly 17 years South African pop rock legends Amersham are back together, recording new music and looking to get back onto stage! Forming in high school (Parktown Boys High) the 4 friends went on to become a household name in the South African music scene throughout the 90's. They signed to BMG in 1993, releasing their 1st EP in 1994 . 3 singles were released from this which saw them charting throughout South Africa. For the next 5 years Amersham headlined festivals, toured extensively in SA and released another 3 albums, their single "Matchbox" reached #1 on 5fm. By 1999 the band was looking for new direction and decided to go their separate way with most members settling down and having families.

2016 Christmas For Children a Huge Success Townsquare Media Thanks You!
The 2016 'Christmas for Children' was a huge success thanks to all of our generous listeners...
The 2016 'Christmas for Children' was a huge success thanks to all of our generous listeners...
I spotted this video and I know I'll be using this gift wrapping trick for sure!
It's almost Christmas and you haven't shopped for your wife or girlfriend yet. You're out of ideas and are getting desperate. Do not despair, here is your salvation:
I spend HOURS on this site. It's the coolest stuff I've ever seen. I want all of it. In fact, the site is called, "whyimbroke.com."
I was at Costco the other day and noticed they're having a sale on the Canon Power Shot camera. For only $249 you get the camera, a case and an 8-gig SD card! I went home and rationally explained that incredible value to my wife: "PLEEEASE! Oh please, please, pease!!!"
If you are looking for something to do this weekend there is plenty of Christmas things with the biggest being the Lighted Boat Parade on the Columbia River which starts at 6p Friday and Saturday Nights! There are also some new Christmas event as well so check it all out here.
Have you ever opened up a Christmas gift present that made you gasp? Opening up Christmas gifts is always exciting. But what happens when you open up an inappropriate gift in front of other people. You might be surprised who gives these gifts the most.

Untitled [Quentin (Kin) Woollaston Shearing] by Sir Toss Woollaston
This article first appeared as 'The fine juggling act to create his artwork' in The Press on 8 June 2017.
Artist Profile
Wayne Youle: Look Mum No Hands
He's been called a cultural prankster, an agent provocateur and a bullshit artist (that last description came from his dad, but it was bestowed – he's pretty sure – with love). While we're at it, add 'serial pun merchant' to that list; in art, as in conversation, Wayne Youle can spot a good one-liner a mile off and has never knowingly left an entendre undoubled.
Artist Profile
Lisa Walker: 0 + 0 = 0
It might be tempting to say that Lisa Walker makes jewellery out of any old thing – but it isn't true. The eclectic objects that form her distinctive necklaces, brooches and other body-adornments are meticulously selected and shrewdly modified before they see the light of day. She salvages her materials from an unlikely cornucopia of sources – re-presenting objects such as car parts, animal skins and even kitchen utensils through the frame of body adornment's long history. Tiny Lego hats, helmets and hairpieces – of the kind that clog vacuum cleaner nozzles in children's bedrooms around the world – are strung on finely plaited cords like exotic beads or shells; trashy gossip magazines are lashed together to yield a breastplate befitting our celebrity-obsessed culture; dozens of oboe reeds donated by a musician friend bristle round the wearer's neck like the teeth of some unimaginable deep sea leviathan.
In Memory of Avis Higgs (1918 - 2016)
With the news that ground-breaking textile designer and painter Avis Higgs (1918 – 2016) died recently, we'd like to share this watercolour of hers from our collection.
Imagined Projects II, Limeworks by Doris Lusk
This article first appeared as 'Work evolved from years of practise' [sic] in The Press on 3 November 2016.
Onekaka Estuary by Doris Lusk
This article first appeared as 'Lusk grabbed any chance to draw the power of places' in The Press, 20 July 2016.
The Eyes Have It
Commentaries on Doris Lusk's work often talk about her 'eye'; for telling details, for spatial complexities, for colour, for line. Many of those who met the painter personally remember her eyes too, but for a different reason, recalling how she would peer out inscrutably from behind thickly rimmed spectacles, with a gaze that was simultaneously intimidating and engaging. It seems appropriate then, that when Kevin Capon photographed Lusk in 1985 the result was this extreme close-up. After setting up his camera and lighting, Capon invited his subjects to approach the camera however they preferred, catching them in the act of looking back. Lusk's face fills the frame, the black lens of her glasses creating a portal-like opening, connecting us with her in that moment and suggesting both her curiosity and her reticence.
Pagework no.30
Each quarter the Gallery commissions an artist to create a new work of art especially for Bulletin. It's about actively supporting the generation of new work.
Artist Profile
Doris Lusk: An Inventive Eye
In the strange, stunned afterlife that ticked slowly by in the first few years following Christchurch's February 2011 earthquake, a curious note of recognition sounded through the shock and loss. As a massive programme of demolitions relentlessly hollowed out the city, many buildings were incompletely removed and lingered on for months as melancholy remains – stumps abandoned in a forlorn urban forest. Hideous, sculptural, beautiful; they bore compelling resemblance to a body of paintings created in the city more than three decades earlier.
Hidden in Plain Sight
In 1997, I went to see an exhibition called White Out, curated by William McAloon for Auckland Art Gallery's contemporary space. The show's subtitle unambiguously promised 'Recent Works by Seven Artists', but as I completed my circuit I realised I'd come up one maker short.

By Eimear Rabbitt,
Campus.ie Intern
DIT is to take part in this years Innovation Dublin festival 2010, which will run from Wednesday 10 - 21 November. The aim of the festival is to provide all interested parties; entrepreneurs, researchers, artists and of course students with a chance to promote and celebrate innovation in the city.
Along with other companies and organisations, DIT will do their bit and host a number of events over the ten-day period. The Dublin based Institute will host events each day over the festival's duration with a variety of topics ranging from engineering seminars to game design workshops and a special one day conference offering students guidelines on how to foster innovation through forward thinking.
One of the areas in which DIT will hope to demonstrate forward thinking is the announcement of this years winner of the DIT inventor competition. The aim of the competition is to encourage creativity and invention by recognising researchers, students and colleagues as inventors. The competition has been very successful over the years in unveiling exciting inventors with equally exciting creations and it is hoped that this year will be no different. Winners of the 2010 Inventor competition will be announced on Friday November 19 at 11am in The Courtyard, DIT, Aungier Street.
Another innovating workshop on offer by DIT is the 5th annual Ernest Adams Workshop on Computer game design for secondary school students. The idea behind the event is to allow the school of computing in DIT, in conjunction with the Irish Computer Society and Microsoft Ireland, to demonstrate the skills and benefits of the sector to aspiring computer wizards.

So recently I was lucky enough to try some delicious baked goods from Ginny Bakes! They are a company based out of Florida I believe, who specialized in organic, gluten free baked goods. So if you have celiac's disease, or you're gluten intolerant, then these goodies are perfect for you!!
Now, not all of their products are vegan, so beware of that. However, they do have one selection of vegan cookies, as well as multiple different vegan granola bars.
The cookies are actually amazing. They are a bit hard and crunchy, but super sweet and tasty. They almost remind me of a sugar cookie, or gingerbread cookie. I'm kind of addicted to them. Each time I put the box away, I find myself getting up and going back for another one hahaha. But hey, they're pretty much healthy, so why not?
I also got fancy and made chocolate cookie dough nana ice cream, where I crumpled up the cookies and mixed them into my nice cream – best idea ever. It was fantastic.
The granola bars are amazing too. Lately I've been super rushed during the day with work and school. I try to pack myself a good lunch, but then I always find that I'm hungry a little bit later and want to snack on something. The granola bars are great because they are literally just oats, nuts and seeds, and there's a few different flavours to choose from.
The other day I was driving home (an hour drive) and I was kind of hungry and wanted something to snack on. So I just grabbed one of the granola bars and it satisfied that hunger and sweet tooth.
And hey, if you're not vegan, then there are tons more options available to you. Not that I'm promoting not being vegan 😉 😉 but I'm just saying that there is dietary options for everyone!
So yeah, definitely head over there and check them out, especially if you can't eat gluten.
If you want to see those Vegan Delight Cookies, here is the link: http://www.ginnybakes.com/shop/gb-cookies/dreamy-vegan-delight/
And if you want to check out those granola bars, the link is right here: http://www.ginnybakes.com/product-category/ginnybars/
(only 3 of the ginny bars are vegan: 'Peace, Love, and Apple', 'Karma, Love, and Apricot', and 'Love&Nuts'.)

Medical Informatics and biomedical computing have grown in quantum measure over the past decade. An abundance of advances have come to the foreground in this field with the vast amounts of biomedical and genomic data, the Internet, and the wide application of computer use in all aspects of medical, biological, and health care research and practice. MEDICAL INFORMATICS: Knowledge Management and Data Mining in Biomedicine covers the basic foundations of the area while extending the foundational material to include the recent leading-edge research in the field. The newer concepts, techniques, and practices of biomedical knowledge management and data mining are introduced and examined in detail. It is the research and applications in these areas that are raising the technical horizons and expanding the utility of informatics to an increasing number of biomedical professionals and researchers.
The book is divided into three major topical sections.
Section I presents the foundational information and knowledge management material and includes topics such as: bioinformatics challenges and standards, security and privacy, ethical and social issues, and biomedical knowledge mapping.
Section II discusses the topics which are relevant to knowledge representations & access and includes topics such as: representations of medical concepts and relationships, genomic information retrieval, 3D medical informatics, public access to anatomic images, and creating and maintaining biomedical ontologies.
Section III examines the emerging application research in data mining, biomedical textual mining, and knowledge discovery research and includes topics such as: semantic parsing and analysis for patient records, biological relationships, gene pathways, and metabolic networks, exploratory genomic data analysis, joint learning using data and text mining, and disease informatics and outbreak detection.
The book is a comprehensive presentation of the foundations and leading application research in medical informatics/biomedicine. These concepts and techniques are illustrated with detailed case studies.
The authors are widely recognized professors and researchers in Schools of Medicine and Information Systems from the University of Arizona, University of Washington, Columbia University, and Oregon Health & Science University. In addition, individual expert contributing authors have been commissioned to write chapters for the book on their respective topical expertise.
Reviewer:David M. Liebovitz, MD(Northwestern Memorial Hospital)
Description:This book provides informatics students with a foundation in the primary concepts used in knowledge management. Use of these concepts is then illustrated through case examples.
Purpose:The purpose is to complement introductory medical informatics textbooks and focus on biomedical knowledge management for professionals and researchers. This book is needed clarify the concepts and practices used behind the scenes to bring useful knowledge to researchers and caregivers. This book met the authors' objectives.
Audience:According to the authors, this book is directed to a large potential audience. It could serve as a graduate level textbook in informatics; health computing courses in medical, nursing and pharmacy schools would benefit; library science departments would find the book useful for courses; and it would likely provide reference value for researchers and biomedical professionals. These groups truly represent the likely users. The authors are credible authorities.
Features:The book includes foundation material in knowledge management and data mining. Subjects such as ontologies, vocabularies, and biomedical knowledge mapping are included with examples. Various techniques in data mining are explored. Examples from clinical medicine and literature searching to biomedical research are included. Web sites for additional material integrated into chapters are useful. An index of all web sites referenced in the book would have been helpful. Some of the reported work is supported by grants and references are included. The chapters adhere to a consistent organizational framework that includes an overview and questions for discussion. Several figures use black text on a gray background, making it difficult to read.
Assessment:The book is useful beyond the level of an introductory informatics text. Importantly, definitions of key bioinformatics concepts with detailed examples will be useful to readers from diverse backgrounds.

Bridal salon unveils new digs
Here come the gowns
Credit: Ryan Hutton
Joyce Doherty sees an opening in the bridal industry, and she's going after it.
The owner of Precious Memories Inc. is relocating the Malden bridal salon to a new location that's more than four times larger and opens tomorrow.
"In New England, we no longer have a focal point," Doherty said. "Yolanda's is no longer open, Priscilla of Boston is no longer open, and we're going for it. We're opening this beautiful 10,000-square-foot space, and it's going to be fabulous."
Precious Memories is moving about 1.5 miles from its current 2,200-square-foot Ferry Street location of 22 years to 1256 Eastern Ave.
"We took over this old nasty warehouse in an industrial park," she said. "It took us over a year, but we converted into a high-end, beautiful bridal salon with a custom-designed floor plan to specifically meet the needs of brides and their bridesmaids."
The new salon features six suites for brides-to-be to try on dresses. Doherty is adding new lines and hopes to triple the number of wedding gowns that Precious Memories sells annually. She's also adding prom gowns and tuxedoes, which couldn't be accommodated in the current location, a three-story tenement with no parking.
"We're just squeezing right out of it," Doherty said. "Most of the time, we're totally booked and, by Wednesdays, we've had to refuse appointments."

In this modern, yet extremely historical town Passau has a uniqueness set idyllically on the three rivers. Passau (City of Three Rivers) Dachau memorial concentration camp In 1933, the Nazis established their first major concentration camp outside the town of Dachau, 18 kilometers from Munich. There they developed a network that would ultimately spread over half of Europe and result in the brutalization and murder of millions. In 1965 what had been the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany became the first Memorial Site in Germany. Now many companies offer tours to Dachau memorial concentration camp and has become a massive tourist attraction. Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial of people in the camp Sign on the gates for the Dachau concentration camp memorial: "Work will make you free" Events in Germany-A world of entertainment. Kempten Christmas Markets In the old historical quarter, is one of the biggest Christmas markets, the Kempten Christmas Market. There are more than 70 Christmas market stalls offering Christmas crafts and gift ideas along with many sweet treats and beverages such as a warm mug of hot chocolate. Traditional foods such as hot chestnuts, candied almonds and apples, German bratwurst sausages are sold. The festive music on stage and the surrounded scenery with mountains, lakes and forests, creates a real Christmas magical mood. In Kempten's Christmas post office children can post their letters to Christ who then brings them their presents for Christmas Day. Kempten Christmas Markets Oktoberfest is not just a biggest and famous German festival but is the world largest beer festival. Germany celebrates Oktoberfest the most enthusiasm. Oktoberfest lasts for sixteen days beginning from the third weekend of September to the first Sunday of October. It has millions of international fans and has spawned many imitations around the world.
Oktoberfest celebration is over 200 years old. The first Oktoberfest ever took place on October 12th 1810 in Munich. On this day King Ludwig I married Princess Therese in front of the citizens of Munich. The celebration was so grand the citizens decided to honor it for years to come. Since then the Germans have religiously celebrated the carnival.
The 16-day party attracts over 6 million people every year who consume 1.5 million gallons of beer and 200,000 pork sausages. EVENTS IN GERMANY The current exchange rate between
the Australian Dollar and the Euro. 1 Australian dollar = 0.7929 Euros $ € Destination- Germany money and costs How much money you need is depends of what type of traveler you are and the season on which you are visiting. A single economy return plain ticket to Germany cost approximately $3000, a single German hotel room booked for 13 nights costs with breakfast and dinner included around $1000 ($77 per night) and a single train ride from Munich to Berlin costs approximately $200. I would also need money for shopping, money for groceries and restaurant occasions as well as visiting landmarks + tours guides costing around $800 with a bit extra just in case. In total my trip to Germany would cost $5000. Which hotel? Where? Why? As I was looking through the many hotels in Munich I realized that hotels are expensive and they don't show the side of Germany I want to discover. I then found out about historic hotels. Hotel Laimer Hof is the name and it is situated in the heart of Nymphenburg 20 minutes drive out of Munich. I chose this hotel because its reasonably cheap and it's exclusive location in walking distance to Nymphenburg Castle, historical sites and museums. Built in 1886 and is one of the traditional heritage buildings Hotel Laimer Hof has turned into a popular place for visitors who want to experience the cultures of Germany to come and stay with them. A Journey Though Munich's Tourist Attractions Munich is filled with culture and historical attractions that make up the city's own style. My choice was the Viktualienmarkt, a daily food market which displays a variety of exotic German foods in the center of Munich. Originally developed for farmers to sell their freshest food such as cheese, wurst, fruit, vegetables, fish, flowers and herbs this market has turned into a popular tourist attraction. This is the way to discover herbs and spices that can't be found anywhere else in the region. Viktualienmarkt 1900 Viktualienmarkt munich 2012 Munich holds three historic museums all in walking distance between each other. The Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, and the Pinakothek der Moderne with each having it's own personality and specialty. The Alte Pinakothek has over 800 Middle Ages masterpieces and has influenced the building architecture throughout Europe. The Neue Pinakothek displays paintings and sculptors from the 19th century and features the private art collection of King Ludwig I. Lastly there's the Pinakothek der Moderne. It is the largest museum for modern art in Germany taking seven years to complete on a $120 million budget. Munich's Museums The Alte Pinakothek 1900 The Neue Pinakothek 1880 The Pinakothek der Moderne Frauenkirche Frauenkirche, Munich, Bavaria, Germany No building is allowed to be built higher than their 99m for fear of ruining the city's skyline except for the iconic dome towers and church connected behind known as Frauenkirche. Frauenkirche has become a symbol for city starting off with just the church taking 20 years to make then the domes were added 30 years later. The cathedral can hold approximately 20,000 people. It suffered during World War II when the roof collapsed and one of the towers was severely damaged. What makes Frauenkirche famous is the legend of the Devil. The legend goes that the Devil and the builder made a deal for the devil to finance the construction on the condition that the church was to be windowless. The builder agreed but could not resist the temptation of installing windows. The builder position 22 columns so that when the Devil stood at the entrance it was not visible to see the windows built. Soon the Devil had figured out the builder secret and through a tantrum. He was so furious that he stamped his foot imprinting the floor with a black foot print still remaining today and stormed out creating an evil spirit in the wind around the church. Frauenkirche interior Devil's footprint I think the reasons why I chose these tourist attractions is because I like all the things that they are. For example, I like trying new things when it comes to food and it seems like the Viktualienmarkt is an important part of Munich's history. All three museums are all different and I loved looking and learning about the art and culture of places around the world. Lastly there's Frauenkirche, what I find appealing is the architecture which is involved with the legend about the Devil. All these things make me want to visit them. Why these tourist attractions? restaurants Everywhere in Munich you can certainly find somewhere with good food and a great atmosphere. Munich's traditional style of food is Bavarian cooking. This includes hearty, rustic and making very simple ingredients into tasty, satisfying dishes.Restaurants like Dallmayr and Restaurant Königshof serve gourmet German meals. A German food specialty that I am looking forward to eating is Weisswurst. Weisswurst is is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from very finely minced veal and fresh pork bacon and was created in Munich on February 22, 1857. Since then it has become a very important part of Bavaria cooking and lifestyle. Dallmayr, Munich Restaurant Königshof weisswurst Munich Berlin From Munich to Berlin I personally would rather ride a train for the convenience, opportunity and pleasure. My favourite type of transport is train and is cheaper than booking a plane ticket and is faster than driving a car. THE
WALL August 12th, 1961 Berlin Wall 2012 For more than 30 years tourists come to Berlin to see the Berlin Wall. Today tourists will visit the Berlin Wall as a historical tourist attraction. The Berlin Wall is still known as a symbol of the Cold War and separation. Parts of the Berlin Wall has disappeared entirely. After the fall of the Berlin Wall. Certain parts of the concrete barricade were left standing. Today, they are painted over with various artists' creations The Berlin Wall was built in the dead of night and for 28 years kept East Germans from fleeing to the West. The Berlin Wall stretched over a hundred miles. It ran not only through the center of Berlin, but also wrapped around West Berlin, entirely cutting West Berlin off from the rest of East Germany. There had been rumors that something might happen the border of East and West Berlin, but no one was expecting the speed of the Wall. On midnight on the night of August 12-13, 1961, trucks with soldiers and construction workers came through East Berlin. They dug holes to put up concrete posts, and strung barbed wire all across the border creating the famous Berlin wall. Berliners were shocked when they woke up that morning and whichever side of the border you went to sleep on during the night of August 12, they were stuck on that side for decades. The Berlin Wall is one of Berlin's famous historical sites and is the number 1 monument of the past in Berlin. I would visit The Berlin Wall for the site's history. Berlin's largest city park, and one of the largest in Europe is known as The Tiergarten. Designed as a hunting ground for the rulers of Brandenburg, it is now enjoyed by thousands of Berliners every day.Although heavily damaged during World War II, Tiergarten was the recipient of heavy restoration investment to restore it to its former state. Throughout the park, there are over 25 kilometers of walking paths and a number of lakes, which are quite popular with Berlin locals. A number of Berlin's main attractions are also located inside or around the park. Guests to the park can also visit The Victory Column (Siegessäule), the statue of a golden-hued goddess that stands upon a column made of red granite. The name Tiergarten literally means "animal garden", and in many German cities Tiergarten means the Zoo. While Berlin's Zoo borders the Tiergarten, the Tiergarten itself is home only to the usual wildlife images Tiergarten history Tiergarten itself The reason I would visit Tiergarten would be because of the park's beauty and it would be a great place to relax. UNESCO defines "an outstanding example of the Enlightenment vision of making art publicly accessible, given material form in a central urban setting." Berlin's Museumsinsel (Museum Island) is a unique island of five museums. A cultural and architectural monument of great significance. It was awarded UNESCO World Heritage listed in 1999. Experience a historical journey through 6,000 years of the of art and culture. It is home to a total of than five museums including: These five buildings exhibit art works from the 19th century alongside archaeological collections, and are a daily attraction to thousands of visitors interested in art and culture.
I think it would be exciting to visit Museum Island as it is World Heritage Listed. The Altes Museum (Old Museum) The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) The Bode Museum The Neues Museum (New Museum) The Pergamon Museum Overall The Friedrichstadt-Palast is Europe's most modern Show Palace with the biggest theatre stage in the world! With 700,000 visitors a year, it is the number 1 nightlife destination in Berlin. Friedrichstadt-Palast is a large historic landmark building with around 2000 seats to fill. Over 100 artists, excellent dancers, musicians in the shows performing nightly. If you want to experience something extraordinary in Berlin something that is unique and visually appealing, then Friedrichstadt-Palast is yours and my choice for a tourist attraction. Friedrichstadt-Palast Friedrichstadt-Palast audience Friedrichstadt-Palast Visiting a landmark of great history significance and beauty such as The Brandenburg Gate is the type of thing I would love to see in Berlin. Brandenburg Gate A well known symbol of Berlin, located near the border between East and West Berlin, it then became a symbol of a divided city. Over two hundred years of history, the Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlins most important monuments representing a reunified Berlin. It was originally part of the Berlin Wall and was the main entrance to the city. It is the only remaining gate of which Berlin was once entered through. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II as a sign of peace Running out of money? Right at the end of your holiday? Don't worry there's another way Ever Heard About A Hostel? Hostel is defined as a an establishment that provides cheap food and lodging for a specific group of people, such as students, workers, or travelers. Hostels are much cheaper than hotels which can save you a lot of money during your stay at Berlin. Baxpax Downtown Hostel Room Images Baxpax Downtown Hostel Located right in the centre of Berlin, between the shopping area Friedrichstraße and Museum Island. Only a 10-minute walk to Brandenburg Gate. Also easy accessibility from all airports and train stations in Berlin. Saving over half of what you could of spent on a hotel. Making my way back to Australia On the journey of making my
way back to Australia I would
book a shuttle bus to pick me
up from the hostel and take me to Berlin Airport where there I will get on an plane and depart to Sydney at approximately 6:00pm. On the way to Sydney I will have to get on different planes at these stops. Such as the plane will stop at Vienna International Airport then Dubai International Airport. At around 7:00am I will be at Sydney Airport. I will have another shuttle bus take me to my house. In Conclusion In conclusion I have learned lots about Germany and is definitely now one of the places where I would like to visit. During this research assignment I have learned a lot about life and culture in Germany and the similarities and differences between Germany and Sydney as countries. I never would of thought that food could be so different on the other side of the world. Buildings and monuments are the symbols of Germany telling history and how Germany has changed overtime. Germany has thousands of attractions and I realize now why Germany is so popular to visit. I thought a Prezi was the best way to present my assignment and the information I used was from serious websites. THE END A TRIP TO GERMANY By Annaliese Campbell Disney castle Neuschwanstein Castle Why did I choose these towns and cities? I chose these towns and cities because I thought each place was different from each other with their buildings, locations and history and each would be exiting to visit. bibliography

The responsibility of the media (whether television, radio, print or digital media) is very high in an environment like the current one in Spain.
The script was coined out by two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, with the purpose to introduce Christ to Slavonic nations who had no alphabet. Today the Cyrillic Alphabet is used by roughly 300 million people round the world.
Cyril and Methodius were born in the town of Thessalonica in the 9th century. Their father was a Christian Byzantine Greek and their mother was of Slavonic origin.
In 860, the two brothers travelled as missionaries to spread the Christian faith among Southern Slavic nations, including Bulgaria, Great Moravia, and Pannonia.
In order to translate Biblical texts and Church literature into Slavonic language, they devised a new alphabet, known originally as "Glagolic". Later, their work was edited and adapted, and was renamed "Cyrillic" in memory of Cyril.
The alphabet was adopted in Bulgaria in 865 AD. In that same year the nation accepted Christian faith as official religion. The reform was introduced by Knyaz (Prince) Boris I (r. 852-889 AD), and was completed by his son Tsar (King) Simeon the Great (r. 893-927 AD), two of the most renowned Bulgarian monarchs.
More than a century later, Russia also adopted Christian faith as official state religion under Knyaz Vladimir I the Great. At that time, the capital of Russia is Kiev. Vladimir I was monarch of Kievan Rus in 980-1015 AD. Alongside with Christianity, Vladimir I also introduced Cyrillic as Russia's official alphabet.
Today, Cyril and Methodius are venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church as saints. They are called "equal-to-apostles". In 1880, Pope Leo XIII introduced their names into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared Cyril and Methodius as patron saints of Europe.
With Bulgaria joining the EU in January 2007, the Cyrillic Alphabet was instituted as the third official script of the European Union, following the Latin and the Greek. Today, about 300 million people in 12 countries use the Cyrillic script, including Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, the Ukraine, Belarus, Russia.
May 24 is public holiday in Bulgaria and Macedonia. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who follow the Roman Catholic calendar, this public holiday is celebrated on 5 July. In Russia, the day of Cyril and Methodius is not a state holiday; it is celebrated only by the Church.

NOTEBOOK; Ringside Memorials for Three Crash Victims
By PHIL BERGER
Published: October 18, 1989
When Tim Witherspoon, the former World Boxing Association heavyweight champion, fights Anders Eklund tomorrow night at Trump Plaza, a bell will toll before the match in memory of the three Trump organization executives - Mark Etess, Stephen Hyde and John Benanov - who died in a helicopter crash Oct. 10.
A more elaborate memorial ceremony will be held at the Nov. 4 bout between Evander Holyfield and Alex Stewart, and Showtime, the pay cable service televising the match, will offer a pre-fight feature on the three men.
There are no plans at this point to hire replacements for Etess and Hyde, who played crucial roles in the rise of Trump's boxing operation.
''Mark Etess was the marketing expert,'' explained Gary Selesner of Trump Plaza. ''He thought up the names for the matches, like 'Once and For All' for Tyson-Spinks, and did the follow-through. Steve Hyde was the numbers guy. Steve would make the decisions about whether it was worth spending $11 million for Tyson-Spinks - whether we could get it back at the casino and through the exposure. He was an accountant by training.''
Hyde's earliest involvement with boxing was at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nev., during the Muhammad Ali era.
''He was financially responsible for boxing at Caesars,'' Selesner said, ''and because Ali was promoted by Don King, Steve developed a relationship with King. The relationship they had made the Tyson fights possible here.''
Trump Plaza bought the live rights to Tyson's title defenses against Tyrell Biggs, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks and Carl (the Truth) Williams.
Etess's straightforward manner enabled him to deal not only with King but with just about every other key player in boxing, ''the Shelly Finkels, the Bill Caytons, the Butch Lewises,'' as Selesner put it. A Few Million Short
The Michael Nunn-Thomas Hearns fight rumored as a possible 1990 showdown has hit snags.
Rich Rose, who makes the fights for Caesars Palace, said the site-fee and pay-per-view guarantees he was able to put together fell short of the $14 million that Hearns and Nunn were hoping to split, $9 million for Hearns and $5 million for Nunn.
''It won't be $14 million,'' Rose said. ''It might be $8 million to $11 million.' Rose said he would make a final offer to the fighters' camps soon, but the word is that Hearns will await the outcome of the Dec. 7 match between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran, for Leonard's World Boxing Council super-middleweight title, before deciding his next move.
Hearns is seeking a rematch with Leonard, against whom he fought a disputed draw in June.
As for Nunn, the International Boxing Federation middleweight champion, Home Box Office would like to see him against Marlon Starling, the W.B.C. welterweight champion, in January. But Dan Goossen, Nunn's manager, said he was sorting through his options: Starling, John Mugabi and the winner of the Nov. 28 W.B.A. middleweight title fight between the champion, Mike McCallum, and the challenger, Michael Watson, are all possible foes for Nunn.
Then again, Goossen said, if he can't lock in a deal by next week, ''we'll probably sit until Dec. 7, too.''
''There's a chance that Leonard would fight Nunn if he beats Duran,'' he said. ''And I'd say Duran would rather fight us than Hearns.''
In June 1984, Hearns knocked out Duran in two rounds. 'He's a Free Man'
Matt Baranski, who used to be a cornerman for Tyson, recently recalled a conversation he had with the heavyweight champion shortly before Tyson's bout against Holmes in January 1988.
''He was talking about Robin Givens, saying, 'She's after me; she's a part-time actress who's going to try to use me and my name to get ahead,' '' Baranski recalled. ''A month later, he married her.''
Even though the tumultuous marriage ended in divorce earlier this year, Tyson and Givens continue to see one another. King told a reporter that while Tyson was in training in Las Vegas this month, Givens and the fighter spent time together.
''Hey, man,'' King said, ''I don't know what it's about. All I know is Mike is in good shape. There's no reason to go out of his way to avoid her. At least he's training. He's a free man. Everybody has an opinion about it. I'm going to politely keep mine to myself.''
Cayton, the champion's manager, was not so politic.
''I hear that he calls her, that he's interested in her,'' Cayton said. ''I guess he's still obsessed by her. And probably will be all his life.'' Female Presence
Jim Hunter, boxing publicist for the Las Vegas Hilton, has been moonlighting lately on his wife's behalf. According to Hunter, Cindy Bartin-Hunter will be the first female fight judge to work a title bout in Australia. She's scheduled to judge the Jeff Harding-Tom Collins W.B.C. light-heavyweight championship match on Oct. 24 in Brisbane.
