INDIA PERFORMS SUCCESSFUL SPACE SHUTTLE TEST LAUNCH - India performed a successful space shuttle test launch late on Sunday, marking the latest milestone for the country's space program.
The Reusable Launch Vehicle –Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) mini-shuttle is the country's first space plane. NASA ended its 30-year space shuttle program in 2011.
India's unmanned shuttle was launched on a HS9 booster rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota, an island off India's Bay of Bengal coast. The booster burnt out after a "successful flight" of 91.1 seconds, according to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). More

SPACE STATION INFLATABLE HABITAT WILL GET BLOWN UP ON THURSDAY - An expandable habitat that might eventually help humankind colonize the Moon and Mars will begin testing on the International Space Station this week. Astronauts will start pumping air into the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module at 5:30 AM on Thursday. At its full size, the puffed-up habitat will be about the size of a small bedroom. For the next two years, sensors will measure how well the structure maintains safe temperature, pressure, and radiation levels. Astronauts will go inside it occasionally, too. More

SOYUZ ST-B TO LAUNCH GALILEO SATELLITE DUO ON TUESDAY - A Soyuz ST-B rocket is set to take to the skies on Tuesday, May 24. Its mission is to orbit a duo of European Galileo navigation satellites. The spacecraft, designated Galileo 13 and 14, are slated to lift off at 4:48 a.m. EDT (08:48 GMT) from the Soyuz Launch Complex (ELS) in Sinnamary, French Guiana.
The mission, designated VS15, will be the fourth flight carried out by Arianespace this year. The mission is slated to last for about three hours and 47 minutes, ending in the deployment of the satellites into a circular medium-Earth orbit (MEO) at an altitude of 14,616 miles (23,522 kilometers), inclined 57.4 degrees.

The company, which is aiming to launch its first satellite in the second half of 2017, outlines how the project works:
When the satellite stabilizes in orbit, we will discharge the particles using a specially designed device on board. More

Bigelow first started his space company, Bigelow Aerospace, in 1999 to develop habitats for use as research labs for corporations and countries without space programs, housing for missions to Mars, or even as hotels for tourists on the final frontier. In April the longtime space buff's dream took a giant leap forward with the successful delivery of BEAM, the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, to the space station (ISS). More

The photo was taken by an Expedition 67 crew member on May 14th, from 240 miles away. (Yes, the astronauts have some pretty sweet cameras.) The lower-angle shot shows a huge plume of smoke engulfing Fort McMurray -- the town isn't really visible, the smoke is so dense. More

This one was produced from observations made by the EU's new Sentinel-2a satellite, which is now routinely mapping Planet Earth.

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION HAS MADE ITS 100,000TH ORBIT OF EARTH, A DISTANCE EQUIVALENT TO 10 R - It's 100,000 laps around Earth and counting for the International Space Station.
The space station reached the orbital milestone — 17 ½ years in the making — Monday morning. NASA said these 100,000 orbits are akin to traveling more than 2.6 billion miles. That's equivalent to 10 round trips to Mars, or almost one way to Neptune.
Each orbit takes about 90 minutes; 16 orbits comprise a station day.
Astronauts have been living continuously aboard the 250-mile-high complex since 2000. Construction began two years before that. Since then, 222 people have lived or visited there, the vast majority of them— 189 — men, according to NASA. Altogether, there have been 47 permanent crews representing the U.S., Russian, Canadian, Japanese and European space agencies. More

CHINESE ROCKET LOFTS GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE SATELLITE - A Long March 2D booster fired into space Sunday from a remote Chinese spaceport in the Gobi Desert, delivering a military spy satellite to a 640-kilometer-high (400-mile) perch in polar orbit.
The two-stage Long March 2D rocket took off at 0243 GMT Sunday (10:43 p.m. EDT Saturday) from the Jiuquan launch center in northwest China's Inner Mongolia province.
The liftoff occurred at 10:43 a.m. Beijing time, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
The 41-meter (134-foot-tall) liquid-fueled rocket veered south from Jiuquan to put its payload into a sun-synchronous orbit. Tracking data released by the U.S. military indicated the spacecraft reached an orbit with an apogee, or high point, of about 653 kilometers (405 miles), and a low point, or perigee of 625 kilometers (388 miles).

Where Angels Rest
Colors bleed in the shadows
Wings unfurled inside shade
A calm that collects in black
Night lace of light trees made
Delicate the dancers of stars
Reseeding the calm of Earth
In the silent hues of harmony
A dreaming forest gives birth
Branches filled with dreamers
Colors blossoming in the sun
Nests built by guardian angels
Protecting what God has spun
Thoughts that move like rivers
Prayers that fall like gentle rain
Into the arms of Heaven's limbs
We find love will forever remain
In the colors that shadows bleed

Ladies, Here's A Great Reason Why You Should Wear Makeup
Dramatic Romantic Novels Made Into Movies By Nicholas Sparks: 'Dear John,' 'The Notebook,' & More
Dee Doyle

Stumble Upon
Nicholas Sparks
is a bestselling US author who is famous for writing dramatic and romantic tales that often include tragedy and Christian values. There are a few things you know about his books going in: it might be a little over the top, but you'll still be sobbing by the end of it somehow. His newest book-turned-movie comes out this week titled "
Dear John
," about a soldier and his love for a young girl that he woos in constant letters. Considering he has several more books that can be made into films, this is likely not the last we'll be seeing of his adaptations. Love him or hate him, his wildly mainstream appeal cannot be denied. Here's a look at the films made from his books and the best/worst parts about them.
The Notebook
"The Notebook" is certainly the most successful of Sparks' adaptations, and it was his first published novel too. To some it is still considered one of the most romantic movies, and it quadrupled its budget in the box office. Starring young actors
Ryan Gosling
Rachel McAdams
as the lead characters Noah and Allie, it's about love conquers all and lasts through years and separations. Noah and Allie meet when they are young but are separated due to class concerns. Noah writes Allie a letter every day for a year, but he never gets any responses. He goes to war and she goes to school. He comes back and starts restoring a beautiful plantation he always wanted, and Allie comes to see it. They talk about the past and figure out she never got his letters, and they passionately embrace even though she's engaged to someone else.

In the end it turns out she does choose Noah, even if she's afraid about their passionate and tumultuous relationship, and the entire story has been told by the elderly Noah. He's reading the story to Allie, who is now old herself and suffering from dementia. The couple die together with Allie remembering him at the last. While the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was a box office smash all over the world. The movie can be melodramatic at times, and one has to wonder how pure a romance can be if it is technically cheating at the time, but it really is well done and acted all around. The costumes and setting for the 40's and 50's are accurate, and it put both of the young stars on the map in Hollywood. This is no doubt Sparks' best adaptation of the four.
Message in a Bottle
"Message in a Bottle" is set in Cape Cod and stars
Kevin Costner
Robin Wright Penn
, and
Paul Newman
. Theresa (Wright Penn) is a newspaper researcher and during a trip to Cape Cod she finds a love letter in a bottle by the ocean. It is addressed from Garret to Catherine. Curious, she keeps finding more letters and decides to find the man himself, Garret (Costner). He lives in North Carolina with his father Dodge (Newman), and Theresa gets close to Garret as she tries to learn more about Catherine. Apparently she died and left him alone, and he still grieves for Catherine and can't forgive her.
He starts a relationship with Theresa and things seem to be going well even if they are separated by a long distance. He is angry, however, when he finds the letters and that Theresa has been writing a column about the romantic 'Message in a Bottle' tale. The two do not speak again. A year later, Dodge comes to Theresa and tells her that Garret is dead, and he had one last message in a bottle ... this time to her. Cue the tears. One has to wonder if a main character can ever survive Sparks' books. This opened on Valentine's Day weekend and did well as the #1 film, and overall it made back its budget but it was not quite the box office hit that it wanted to be. Still, unlike many romances who would've found her using his story to make money somehow okay in the end, it did prefer an emotional sucker punch rather than a big warm fuzzy hug. Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
A Walk to Remember
"A Walk to Remember" is even more cheerful (note sarcasm) than the other films on this list. It's depressing just writing about them. Are these experiences masochistic or cathartic? Anyway, in this one Landon (
Shane West
) is a popular bad boy who gets in trouble and might get expelled. He has to do after-school activities to make up for it and he meets sweet, Christian Jamie (
Mandy Moore
), the daughter of the church's pastor. They are in different social groups, since Jamie is shy and quiet and Landon is popular and extroverted. He is forced to be in the spring musical and asks Jamie to help him with lines. She tells him he is not to fall in love with her, and he laughs. The audience laughs too, because that's the whole point of the movie. Who says that to someone anyway? Don't fall in love with me.
Image © Warner Bros.
Hey guess what, he does! They become friends first and then he mocks her in front of his friends, then he feels bad about it and she cuts him out of her life. Landon kisses her in the play, but she still won't forgive him. They make up when he protects her after an awful joke at school, and he asks her father for permission to date. Then they're in love, but the twist has yet to come, because there are no happy endings in the land of Nicholas Sparks. It turns out Jamie has terminal leukemia and she is dying. Landon freaks out at first, but he remembers he loves her and they stay together. He marries Jamie at the church she wanted to before she dies. Four years later he still loves Jamie and he's on the right path, thanks to her. To be fair, Jamie was based partially off of Sparks' sister who died relatively young, and thus it was a personal story. The movie did decently in the box office, but critics were not too fond of it. Sensing a pattern?
Nights in Rodanthe
"Nights in Rodanthe" is the most recent Rodanthe film, and probably the one least liked by the critics entirely. I bet you can guess how it did in the box office, though: well! Surprise. The film stars
Diane Lane
Richard Gere
as Adrienne and Paul, the newest pair of star-crossed soon-to-be-doomed lovers. Adrienne is separated from her husband and he wants to come home, but she doesn't know if she wants him to. She goes to North Carolina to stay at her friend's bed-and-breakfast for the weekend. It is a beautiful place right on the beach. The only other guest is Paul, an emotionally cold surgeon who is being sued by the family of a dead patient. The two are trapped inside during a storm and become friends, and then lovers who open up to one another about things they'd never say to anyone else.

Paul is inspired to go to South America and speak to his estranged son, and he stays there to help his son with the natives. Adrienne and Paul exchange letters, but (can you see this coming?) Paul is killed in a mudslide. His son Mark (
James Franco
) comes to tell her himself and gives her Paul's belongings and his thanks for giving him his father back. Adrienne is devastated and alone, but she finds some solace in a random herd of wild horses running by her. Listen, there are signs and things the audience has to just accept in Sparks' films, but the wild horses? Maybe a little too much. Still, the cast is pretty solid and it's always great to see movies that embrace the idea that love knows no age. With all the romances these days that center on beautiful young people, it's pleasant to see beautiful middle-aged people getting some love. This movie might be the most over the top of the four, but it's more or less the same kind of thing.

For the last eight years, FreeSol has represented Memphis lovely. Although the quintet admits that their home city is still learning to properly embrace them, their sound is a healthy dose of goovy Soul, Jazz and Hip Hop. Calling themselves a "Hip Hop" band, the outfit's vocalist Free began as a rapper with Stetsasonic-like dreams of creating a band to back him. Pulling from musicians from the streets, the church and other bands, FreeSol was born.
While the city along the mighty Mississippi is still getting hip to FreeSol, one early supporter was one of Memphis' superstars, Justin Timberlake. Around the same time the former 'N Sync front-man awakened critics and R&B fans with his FutureSex/LoveSounds, he signed FreeSol to his imprint. While the four years since have been long and challenging for the band still in search a break, they all admitted to DXnext that it's also made them better as musicians and tighter-knit.
With their RockNRolla mixtape (hosted by DJ Benzi) recently released - and featuring Three 6 Mafia and Outasight, the group is gearing up for a summer climb, leading to a Lollapolooza show next month). DXnext rapped with its first Hip Hop band in over a year, giving you that Mclemore Avenue groove.
Unlikely Beginnings: "I met [Kickman] Teddy and Premo [Danger] on the street. I was sellin' [my Rap] CDs. I was tryin' to start a band, and they were tryin' to start a band, and we kind of met at the same time. A month later, we ended meeting Elliott. I think from the beginning, I always had a desire to fuse music. To me, that's what Hip Hop has always been - [built off of] Rock and Jazz, whether it be Digable Planets or back in the day with Run-DMC to Linkin Park to whatever. I've always been into that, me personally. So just wanting to do something more live, that was my interest, my goal," said emcee/vocalist Free.
FreeSol's drummer, Kickman added, "When I first heard what [Free] had to offer, he came out to my truck and popped [the CD] in. I immediately heard his style, his delivery was different than the basic emcee, Hip Hop, Rap. Then, I had always heard Premo as an R&B cat [despite that I heard him playing in church]. The way this came together, damn."
Free chimed back in to say, "The first rehearsal, we jammed for four hours. I was just freestylin'."
Hometown Hopefuls: "I think it's kind of held against us, especially here in the city. We're more accepted in areas other than Memphis," said Kickman. Free clarified, "Us being from Memphis is the only reason we have the sound we have. There's so many different sounds, in the middle of the country. There's a lot of [similar bands], but noboy's really done it the way that FreeSol's done it. The reason that is is because of where we're from and where we met."
Elliott, the group's guitarist and vocalist said, "There's a lot of southern influences in our music. You hear Free's twang, you hear the church, you hear Blues music. Me and my playing, everything I do is influenced by the city. All the players here totally made me who I am. I love the grit and the grime of Memphis, and capturing it, without sounding like a Booker T. & The M.G.'s [cover band]."
Taking A Band To Hip Hop Producers Like Jim Jonsin, No I.D. & Others: "We all produce music," Elliott said. "The mixtape, we did ourselves. We all wear different hats. Getting together with big producers is an education. You have to go in humble, because this whole experience has been humbling. We've waited a long time to get here. We've kind of been thrown around in this development phase, and it's been diffucult. But we walk into it with open-arms. But we become better band members."
Free added, "Every time we walk in with someone, it's different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work. We've worked with No I.D., and I think that was more of a tracking session. When we went in there with Jim Jonsin, that was more of a factory - you've got a bunch of songs and studios going on at the same time. Justin [Timberlake] allows you to do you - bring your music to the table and then add to it. There were times when no one touched it. It just depends."
Patience Is A Virtue: FreeSol's keyboardist Premo said, "Over the last eight years, we've developed way more than a corporate relationship. We view each other as brothers."
Go Deejay: "Having a deejay really helps with live shows, going from song to song, getting the people into it, or hyping that crowd. That image of seeing that emcee and deejay is important," said Free, who considers himself the Rap delegate of FreeSol. "This is a Hip Hop band, fused with Pop, fused with Soul, fused with Jazz. But at the end of the day, the deejay is essential."
Justin Timberlake's Hand In FreeSol's Development: "It's been long. [Laughs] It's been challenging," admited Free. "[Justin Timberlake] is unbelievable in the studio, as well as his memory. I was writing a verse one time. He looked over my shoulder, read the verse with me, and when I went into the studio to record it, he remembered it - from reading it one time. He's intimidating, his level of photogenic memory and everything. He's on another page. He challenges us. It's been an uphill battle. When we were getting close to that uphill, he found a way of encouraging us. Even though he's a young guy, he's a wise spirit." The emcee says that time has proved JT all the wiser though. "There were periods in the middle where we thought it was taking too long or he was too busy of whatever-whatever. I can honestly tell you now that I wouldn't change a single step. Everything that happened for us till now, is for a reason."

Class 6A girls golf: Union's Marla Souvannasing gets hot at the right time
EDMOND — Tulsa Union junior Marla Souvannasing is the classic example of a golfer getting hot at the right time.
Ranked fourth on the top team in Class 6A, Souvannasing won regionals last week and followed with a 1-under-par 70 Wednesday in the first round of the state tournament at River Oaks Golf Club. Souvannasing owns a five-shot lead over three players, including two teammates.
The last time Souvannasing won a tournament before regionals was Union's season opening tournament in Dallas the first week of March.
"My goal is to always finish in the top 10 (at state)," Souvannasing said. "If I won it that would be an honor."
Souvannasing finished sixth at state as a freshman. Last year she was 11th, which provided motivation for this year's tournament.
She was 1-under through the front nine with two birdies and a bogey. She got to 2-under but double-bogeyed 15. Souvannasing drained a 30-foot putt to save par on 16.
"That got me back on track," Souvannasing said.
She sank an eight-foot birdie on 18 to post the only red number on the board.
"Marla is playing really good golf right now," said Union coach Vicki Brown. "The last couple of tournaments she's really picked it up. Right now she has so much confidence."
There's a chance Thursday's final round might be canceled. Forecasts call for strong north winds, 60 percent to 70 percent chance of rain all day and 27-degree windchill temperatures.
Officials set tee times, starting at 9 a.m. as scheduled.
If the final round is canceled, Souvannasing would be the medalist, but she hopes they play. She's already prospered in inclement conditions. She posted a 1-over 73 to earn medalist honors at Union's regional at Owasso Golf and Athletic Club on a cold, wet, windy day similar to Thursday's forecast.
"I'm just going to go out and approach it like it's a normal tournament," Souvannasing said. "When the weather isn't ideal it's all mental."
With all five of its players on the leader board the Redskins are in good shape to capture their third consecutive team title. Union leads Broken Arrow by 17 shots.
"We played like it was a one-day tournament, but I hope we get to play," Brown said. "We're used to this kind of weather. It seems that's what we've been playing in all season."

|CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE Patent applications
|Patent application number
|SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MARKETS DURING A STOP LOSS TRIGGER - A system mitigates the effects of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order in an automated matching system. The system includes evaluation logic, delay logic, pricing logic and timing logic. The evaluation logic monitors conditional orders submitted to a trading engine and is configured to compare a price of an order to a first predefined price range. The delay logic delays matching of the orders submitted to the trading engine when the price of the orders lie outside of the first predefined price range. The pricing logic derives an opening price to be used by the trading engine. The timing logic measures a time interval used to delay a matching of the orders until the opening price is within a predefined price range up to a maximum delay time set by a control center. A method of mitigating the effect of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order includes monitoring conditional orders submitted to the trading engine. The method compares the price of a conditional order to a first predefined price range and delays the matching of orders submitted to the trading engine when the price of the conditional order lies outside of the first predetermined price range. The method derives an opening price to be used by the trading engine; and measures a time interval used to delay the matching of the orders until the opening price is within a predefined price range up to a maximum delay time set by a control center.
|SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MARGINING FIXED PAYOFF PRODUCTS - A system and method is disclosed for determining performance bonds for fixed payoff products, i.e. contracts which payoff a fixed amount based on the outcome of an underlying event regardless of the value thereof. The worst outcome of the overall portfolio, which may contain more multiple instruments, is calculated, allowing the portfolio to have both long and short positions on the same underlying event and offsets among instruments within the portfolio. A universe of outcomes is constructed including single events with single outcomes, and the probability thereof, and single events with multiple outcomes, each with a probability thereof. Each outcome has an associated price and probability. Low probability events will have low values, resulting in a lower margin requirement. The margin requirement is then the amount of the maximum loss that the portfolio can sustain for any possible outcome of the underlying event, adjusted for the probability thereof.
|CROSS-CURRENCY IMPLIED SPREADS - A system can include a first computer hardware means for identifying a first available order book for a first available product listed on an exchange and a second available order book for a second available product listed on the exchange, the first available product comprising a first component and the second available product comprising a second component, the first and the second components being part of a new product. The system can also include a second computer hardware means for generating a new order book for the new product based on the first and second available products. The system can also include a third computer hardware means for causing the new product to be listed on the exchange such that subsequently received orders to buy or sell the new product are matched based on the new order book or entered into the new order book.
|Futures Exchange Support of Spot Trading - A computer system associated with spot market trading in a particular subject matter may communicate with a computer system associated with trading in futures contracts or options in futures contracts for the subject matter. The communications may include pricing data for at least one of futures contracts or options in futures contracts for the subject matter, which pricing data may be used for spot market pricing. The communications may also include communications regarding futures hedging of spot trading in the subject matter.
|Exchange-Traded Basis Derivative Contracts - An exchange computer system creates, trades and/or otherwise manages basis derivative contracts. At maturity, a basis derivative contract may have two components. A first component may require a party to the basis derivative contract to make or take some type of delivery related to a particular subject matter. A second component may require the basis derivative contractee to accept a further obligation under one or more derivative contracts related to the subject matter.
|Cross-Currency Implied Spreads - The disclosed systems and methods relate to allowing trading of over the counter ("OTC") foreign exchange ("FX") contracts on a centralized matching and clearing mechanism, such as that of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's ("CME"'s) futures exchange system (the "Exchange"). The disclosed systems and methods allow for anonymous transactions, centralized clearing, efficient settlement and the provision of risk management/credit screening mechanisms to lower risk, reduce transaction costs and improve the liquidity in the FX market place. In particular, the disclosed embodiments increase speed of execution facilitating growing demand for algorithmic trading, increased price transparency, lower cost of trading, customer to customer trading, and automated asset allocations, recurring trades as well as clearing and settlement efficiencies.
|System and Method for Efficiently Using Collateral for Risk Offset - A system and method for analyzing correlation between the assets given by the trader for collateral and that trader's open positions is disclosed. Thus, if the collateral is correlated to the trader's open positions, then some offset can be given. If there is no correlation than the collateral is valued in the conventional way. For example, if a trader provides t-bills as collateral for an account that has open positions (e.g. short futures) in T-bills, than that trader's account can be credited with some offset since the value of T-bills and T-bill futures are highly correlated.
|Pricing a Swap Financial Product Using a Non-Par Value - Computer readable media, methods, and apparatuses may be configured for processing a plurality of yields, each of the yields corresponding to a different maturity date, determining a plurality of floating payments based on the yields, determining a plurality of fixed payments based on a fixed interest rate, determining a present value of the floating payments, determining a present value of the fixed payments, and generating a quote for a swap financial product as a function of the present value of the floating payments and the present value of the fixed payments.
|Pricing a Forward Rate Agreement Financial Product Using a Non-Par Value - Computer readable media, methods, and apparatuses may be configured for processing a yield of a first financial instrument, determining a single floating rate payment based on the yield, determining a single fixed rate payment based on a fixed interest rate, determining a present value of the single floating rate payment, determining a present value of the single fixed rate payment, and generating a quote for a forward rate agreement index financial product as a function of the present value of the single floating rate payment and the present value of the single fixed rate payment.
|Controlling Implied Markets During a Stop Loss Trigger - A system mitigates the effects of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order in an automated matching system. Conditional orders submitted to a trading engine are evaluated to compare a price of an order to a predetermined price range. Matching of the orders may be delayed when the price of the orders lies outside of the predetermined price range. An opening price to be used by the trading engine is derived and a time interval is used to delay a matching of the orders until the opening price is within a predetermined price range up to a maximum delay time set by a control center. Implied spreads are also removed until other instruments within a trading unit are verified open.
|System and Method for Flexible Spread Participation - A system and method for risk analysis of a portfolio of derivative products is disclosed which is conducted based on a set of flexible rules. The system and method allow creating predefined sets of products for the purpose of future risk offsets. If a futures trade as a subset of that set of products that met a threshold level, then the subset is assigned the offset value (or a pro rata or other portion of the offset value) of the predefined set. For example, assume that the predefined set consists of one S&P 500 futures, one NASDAQ futures, one S&P Midcap 400 futures and one Russell 1000 futures and the threshold is three. If the futures trader holds any three of those four futures, the three futures can be grouped, assigned an offset value, and this group can be used as one asset for purpose of further risk offsets.
|System and Method for Using Diversification Spreading for Risk Offset - A computer-implemented method for analyzing a risk offset associated with a portfolio including a plurality of products traded on an exchange is disclosed. The method includes comparing a first market response of a first product in the portfolio with a second market response of a second product in the portfolio where the first and second market responses result from a change in market data, calculating an offsetting effect between the first market response and the second market response where the first and second market responses are substantially different responses to the same change in the market data, determining a diversification spread based on the offsetting effect derived between the first product and the second product, calculating a diversification spread credit based on the determined diversification spread, and adjusting a margin requirement for the portfolio based on the diversification spread credit.
|Transformation of a Multi-Leg Security Definition for Calculation of Implied Orders in an Electronic Trading System - An electronic trading system utilizes a Match Engine that receives orders, stores them internally, calculates tradable combinations and advertises the availability of real and implied orders in the form of market data. New tradable items defined as combinations of other tradable items may be included in the calculation of tradable combinations. A technique is disclosed for transforming a combination or strategy contract with an arbitrary number of buy and sell legs with an arbitrary volume ratio for each leg into a form that can be used for rapid implied order calculations.
|Ratio Spreads for Contracts of Different Sizes in Implied Market Trading - A method for matching orders is provided. The method includes receiving a first order for a product, the first order specifying a first volume, receiving a second order for the product, the second order specifying a second volume, wherein the first volume is different than the second volume, generating an implied order based on a ratio spread defined between the first order and the second order, and matching a third order with the implied order.
|Scanning Based Spreads Using a Hedge Ratio Non-Linear Optimization Model - The disclosed embodiments utilize hedge ratios to determine the optimal hedge ratio and associated scanning spread. This tells traders what ratios of the quantities of products they should have in their portfolio in order to maintain the status of the portfolios as delta neutral, i.e. be delta hedged, and receive optimal margin credits therefore.
|MARKET ANALYTICS - Systems, devices, and methods for historical market analytics are disclosed. Regulatory investigators/analysts and people interested in analyzing markets and market trends may analyze archived market data for a particular historical timeframe in a plurality of levels. Examples of market analytics systems allow users to query archived data for a market of financial instruments. In response to a query, the market analytics system displays order information for a selected prior timeframe, including multiple levels of best bids/asks for a selected financial instrument. The historical market data may be displayed in a grid format to show how the displayed levels change over time during the timeframe.

Basically I've just started a new game on Pokemon Diamond for the 5th and plan to use only my favourite pokemon. The pokemon on my team will be...
Piplup (Will not evolve) @ Mystic Water
Ability: Torrent
- Surf
- Drill Peck
- Bide
- Waterfall
Sandshrew (Will not evolve) @ Soft Sand
Ability: Sand Veil
- Earthquake
- Slash
- Rollout
- Double Team
Togekiss @ Wise Glasses
Ability: Serene Grace
- Aura Sphere
- Air Slash
- Hyper Beam
- Psychic
Armaldo @ Kings Rock
Ability: Battle Armour
- X-Scissor
- Protect
- Giga Impact
- Rock Slide
Pachirisu @ No Item (Pick Up)
Ability: Pick Up
- Discharge
- Super Fang
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
Roserade @ Big Root
Ability: Poison Point
- Giga Drain
- Petal Dance
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis
Those 6 pokemon are the definite team that I'm using even though most of their stats really aren't that good (Piplup, Sandshrew, Pachirisu...), although their moves are not all that great. At the moment the moves are just projections (only just reaching Eterna Forest at the moment!) but I'm not sure what to teach them otherwise. Plus with trying to fit in all the HMs, this is becoming difficult. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated!
Items are also just (very) vague guesses, so item suggestions would be helpful too! Thanks in advanced!

'The production management system will be based on that utilised for semiconductor device production,' says Toshiba.
The growing area is a former 2,000 square metre clean-room. Production capacity says Toshiba, is '3 million heads per year (lettuce-equivalent)'.
Clean-rooms have significant advantages for veggie-growing, it seems. 'Minimising the entry of germs and the damage that they can do considerably extends the freshness and shelf-life of vegetables, a major concern for retailers of cut vegetables and salads,' says Toshiba.
Annual vegetable sales this financial year are expected to be $3 million. 'Toshiba will promote sales to supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants, and also plans to meet market needs by offering functional vegetables rich in polyphenols and vitamin C, achieved by careful control of the growth environment. In order to increase sales in this new business, Toshiba is also considering construction a large-scale plant factory outside Japan, and the sale of equipment for plant factory applications within FY2014,' says the company.
Yesterday, Fujitsu revealed it is growing and selling low-potassium lettuce in a 2000 square metre former clean room at its fab in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Fujitsu plans to branch out into spinach.
Sharp, JFE Holdings and Olympus are also growing vegetables in former factories. Sharp is growing strawberries in Dubai.

Officials in California are requesting that the medical license of Beverly Hills fertility specialist Dr. Michael Kamrava be revoked amide charges of gross negligence in the in vitro fertilization cases of Octomom Nadya Suleman — the mother of 14 — and at least two other women.
Dr. Kamrava should have referred Nadya Suleman to a mental health specialist when she came to him saying she wanted more babies to add to her brood of six, according to an official complaint by the California medical board. Suleman, an unemployed single mother, gave birth to octuplets in Jan. 2009, making international headlines when it became clear that she was already depending on her parents and public assistance to feed her half-dozen older children.

A group campaigning to put a marijuana legalization measure before California voters says it has enough signatures to qualify for the 2010 ballot.
Oakland medical marijuana entrepreneur Richard Lee said Monday the measure has far more than the nearly 434,000 signatures needed to make the November 2010 ballot.
Campaign organizers say they will submit the signatures to the California Secretary of State next month for validation.
The proposal would legalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for California adults 21 and older. Residents could cultivate marijuana gardens up to 25 square feet. Local governments would determine whether to permit marijuana sales within their boundaries.

The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is unknown but is thought to be associated with immune abnormalities or infection. Because cancer can arise from similar conditions, associations between CFS and cancer were examined in a population-based case-control study among the US elderly.
Using linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare registry data, approximately 1.2 million cancer cases and 100,000 controls (age range, 66-99 years; 1992-2005) were evaluated. CFS was identified in the period more than 1 year prior to selection, using linked Medicare claims. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) comparing the CFS prevalence in cases and controls, adjusting for age, sex, and selection year. All statistical tests were 2-sided.
CFS was present in 0.5% of cancer cases overall and 0.5% of controls. CFS was associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (OR = 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-1.43, P = 1.7 × 10−6). Among NHL subtypes, CFS was associated with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.12-1.61), marginal zone lymphoma (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.38-2.57), and B cell NHL not otherwise specified (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.03-2.23). CFS associations with NHL overall and NHL subtypes remained elevated after excluding patients with medical conditions related to CFS or NHL, such as autoimmune conditions. CFS was also associated, although not after multiple comparison adjustment, with cancers of the pancreas (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.07-1.47), kidney (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.07-1.49), breast (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.74-0.98), and oral cavity and pharynx (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.49-1.00).
Chronic immune activation or an infection associated with CFS may play a role in explaining the increased risk of NHL. Cancer 2012. © 2012 American Cancer Society.

Blake Shelton and Friends Release a 'Celebrity Version' of 'Boys Round Here' [AUDIO][VIDEO]
Blake Shelton utilized some serious star power for this one! Click inside and see if you can tell who all is in it before you read who it is!
Blake Shelton utilized some serious star power for this one! Click inside and see if you can tell who all is in it before you read who it is!
Jana Kramer will not only need to warm up her vocal chords for her upcoming tour with Blake Shelton (and fellow opener Easton Corbin) -- she's admitted that she'll also need to prepare her liver, as Shelton's Ten Times Crazier Tour is bound to get a little crazy.
Before the music even started playing we all knew an emotional performance was about to unfold. The look on Miranda Lambert's face said it all!
There was no Team Blake or Team Usher on NBC tonight. Instead, the two 'The Voice' coaches -- currently locked in the heat of battle on their reality singing show -- closed the Blake Shelton-organized 'Healing in the Heartland' benefit for the victims of the tornado that swept through Oklahoma nine days ago with an emotionally resonant performance of Shelton's 'Home.'
Blake Shelton opened up his 'Healing in the Heartland' benefit for Oklahoma with a stirring rendition of his hit single 'God Gave Me You' on Wednesday night (May 29).
That's right! BlakeFM is hosting something VERY special tonight! Blake's Shelton's benefit concert to help support disaster relief in Oklahoma is tonight and you can tune-in and hear it on your radios on 99.5 from 8-9pm tonight!
From the ACM Award Show stage now to 'The Voice' stage- Blake is sharing his new hit with everyone! Check out him singing 'Boys Round Here' on The Voice!
Country star Blake Shelton is rushing to the rescue of his fellow Oklahoma natives by organizing and performing at the upcoming Healing in the Heartland benefit concert, which is set to air live on Wednesday night (May 29). And now even more stars have been added to the already impressive lineup.
Thirty seconds. That's all that Blake Shelton and friends needed to sell out their upcoming 'Healing in the Heartland' benefit show, which was designed to help the victims of the tornado that ripped through Shelton's native Oklahoma on Monday, May 20.
Native Oklahoman Blake Shelton moved quickly to organize a benefit concert for his home state and the town of Moore, which was battered by a deadly tornado on Monday (May 20).
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert brought their much-decorated ballad 'Over You,' which they penned together about the death of Shelton's brother, to 'The Voice' on Tuesday, performing the intimate and deeply personal song with a different purpose.
Blake Shelton will return to the living rooms of millions for a fifth season of NBC's popular reality singing competition, 'The Voice.' Viewers can rest assured that the comedic country crooner will be sitting back in that big red chair, offering his humor and wisdom to contestant hopefuls come fall.

Speed & Co's full set of baseball-themed, Folk-flavored songs is the heart of the event, but the fun little extras — like "Casey at the Bat" and "Who's on First?" performed/read by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company actor Jeremy Dubin, peanuts and Cracker Jacks at every table, appearances by members of the vintage baseball recreators the 1869 Red Stockings and, of course, former Vice Mayor Jim Tarbell (dressed as Peanut Jim!) — make it more thrilling than back-to-back inside-the-park homeruns.
(Another thrill: It's all free, so you can save your pennies for beer money.)
The excitement starts at 9:30 a.m. and is sponsored by WNKU (89.7 FM) and Christian Moerlein. Even if you can't make it downtown, you can join in on the festivities from anywhere: WNKU (also streaming at www.wnku.org) is carrying every pitch, hit and run from Arnold's as it happens.

His high-pitched voice adds a punch to any peppy number and his livewire performances are often the mainstay of glam Bollywood dos. Now, Sukhwinder Singh has also turned composer in Hindi film Kafila. Back from a concert with Daler Mehendi, where he held the audience spellbound, the singer speaks about his three current projects --- Kafila, Halla Bol and Black and White, and gives his views on international music.
Q: We have heard that besides composing and singing, you have even acted in Kafila?
A: I have performed in one of the songs. Whether I sing in the studio or on stage, I call it a performance. That is because to do justice to a song, the singer must feel it. That's what I have done in the movie. You can call it acting if you wish. But I don't want to get into acting.
Q: How have you composed the music of Kafila?
A: The music suits the title of the movie. Kafila in Hindi means a troop. In the film, there is a troop that tours the whole of India and then goes abroad. We have tried showcasing distinct cultures in the very first song of the film. It has a mix of Rajasthani, Haryanvi and folk music. And there is a dash of Russian and Afghanistan's music as well.
Q: How did you get the taste of music from so many other countries?
A: We had gone to a club in Kazakhstan and that was our tryst with their music. Then we learnt about Afghanistan's music. We are already familiar with Russia's music.
Q: Is the music of Kafila any different from the scores in other Hindi films these days?
A: No, it's not different. Even though it has many languages, the music is not different. We were more keen on making good music than just making it different.
Q: Is it difficult to sing your own composition?
A: Yes, it is a very difficult job because you need to balance the equation. When the composer is in the studio, he should forget that he is the music director, and vice-versa. Long time back, Mr. Anand Bakshi had advised me to leave composing traits at home when I am singing. And I always follow it.
Q: Do you do one film at a time?
A: I do only that many movies that I can do justice to. At present, I have two projects -- Halla Bol and Subash Ghai's Black and White. Mr. Ghai has also made me dance in one of the songs. I didn't want to do it but couldn't refuse him.
Q: This is an era of montage, what's your take on it?
A: I don't like montage in films. I like it only if it is used beautifully the way it was done by Mr. Bhatt in Aashique. There is much use of montage in Deepa Mehta's films. I feel montage ruined the song Rutt Aa Gai Re in film 1947 Earth, so did it in Water.
Q: What do you have to say about the talent shows which have deluged the television industry?
A: I don't like such shows, and would not prefer to judge one either. To start with, it was a nice concept as it gave a platform to budding talents. But now a lot of cheapness has got into it. Contestants are made to memorize sms numbers rather than lyrics.
Q: Which is the most difficult song you have sung to date?
A: I don't think I have come across such a difficult song. But I feel Tere bin nai lagta din mera dolna from Kacche Dhagge was a bit difficult.
Q: Anything that you think you have not indulged as much you wanted to so far?
A: Yes, I am very fond of sports. Very few people know that I can run for six hours at a stretch. I grew up in a dargah, where you mostly find two types of people --- singers and wrestlers.
-Rajnee Gupta (SAMPURN)

3.1L V6. Sometimes, the blower on for my AC and Heat works fine. Other times it doesn't, no matter which speed or setting I have it on. Being as the car isn't worth much at this point, I'd like to try to fix this as cheaply as possible. First, though, I have to know what the problem is. Any ideas on what this might be, and if it might be a simple fix?

Torvosaurus gurneyi, a recently described dinosaur, is seen in an undated artist's rendering released March 5, 2014. Reuters
In Europe 150 million years ago, this dude was the biggest, baddest bully in town.
Two scientists in Portugal announced on Wednesday that they have identified the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever found in Europe, a 10m-long brute called Torvosaurus gurneyi that was the scourge of its domain in the Jurassic Period.
"It was indeed better not to cross the way of this large, carnivorous dinosaur," said paleontologist Christophe Hendrickx of Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Museu da Lourinhã in Portugal.
Torvosaurus gurneyi was an imposing beast. It was bipedal, weighed four to five tons, had a skull almost four feet long, boasted powerful jaws lined with blade-shaped teeth four inches long, and may have been covered with an early type of feather, Hendrickx said.
"Torvosaurus gurneyi was obviously a super predator feeding on large prey like herbivorous dinosaurs," Hendrickx said.
Remains of the new species were unearthed in Portugal by an amateur fossil hunter in 2003 in the rock cliffs of Lourinhã, a small town about 45 miles north of Lisbon, Hendrickx said. He said fossilized embryos probably belonging to this species were identified last year in Portugal.
The findings were published in the journal PLOS ONE.
At the time that Torvosaurus prowled the landscape, the region was a lush river delta with abundant fresh water and vegetation. The area teemed with dinosaurs and flying reptiles known as pterosaurs, primitive birds, crocodiles, turtles and mouse-sized mammals, according to paleontologist Octávio Mateus, also of Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Museu da Lourinhã.
Plant-eating dinosaurs living in the area included the huge, long-necked Lusotitan, the armored, tank-like Dracopelta and the spiky-tailed Miragaia, Mateus added.
The two scientists said this is the second species of the genus Torvosaurus. The other one, Torvosaurus tanneri, lived at the same time in North America. It was known from the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming and was identified in 1979.
Its genus name, Torvosaurus, means "savage lizard." Its species name, gurneyi, honors James Gurney, the author and illustrator of the popular "Dinotopia" book series.
Torvosaurus gurneyi was not the only meat-eating dinosaur in its neighborhood. For example, there was a European species of the well-known North American Jurassic predator Allosaurus, but the Torvosaurus found in Portugal was larger.
Torvosaurus gurneyi not only is the largest known meat-eating dinosaur from Europe, but is the biggest land predator of any kind ever found on the continent, they added.
There were larger dinosaur carnivores elsewhere, however.
Tyrannosaurus in North America, Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus in North Africa and Giganotosaurus in Argentina all were bigger, but appeared on Earth much later than Torvosaurus, during the Cretaceous Period that followed the Jurassic Period.
"This animal, Torvosaurus, was already a fossil for 80 million years before the T. rex ever walked the Earth," Mateus said.
During the Jurassic Period from about 200 million years ago to 145 million years ago, carnivorous dinosaurs generally were medium-sized, with an average length of about 7 to 16 feet. Larger ones like Torvosaurus, Allosaurus and Saurophaganax arrived in the late Jurassic Period. – Reuters
