Theme Zoom creates an international keyword research tool that provides semantic, LSI and Bayesian Predictive Analysis for the first time to the general public. [PRWeb Jun 3, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/6/prweb2489054.htm Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:36:12 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Theme Zoom Keyword Research Technology You don't need to look very far for information on keyword research and semantic analysis. The question Russell Wright asks (and so should you) is this: are you really getting the most out of your keyword research methods? If traditional SEO provides any clues, the answer is a resounding no. Russell Wright, a leading expert in the area of keyword research revealed, "There is a huge difference between keyword research and market research." The real story here is that the Internet is changing and fragmenting into smaller niches and micro-niches. As a result of these changes, it is necessary to look at whole groups of keywords using LSI and Bayesian algorithms to get an understanding of complete conversations instead of individual keywords within your market. No "plain vanilla" keyword research tool is able to perform these types of advanced calculations. Kelley Reynolds, developer of The Last Keyword Tool technology describes Theme Zoom's reasons for developing an affordable LSI keyword research tool for the masses: "It appears as though there are probably a dozen or more keyword tools out on the market that all claim to do various things and present information in some particularly unique or insightful way. This means that you need to be a subscriber to about 6 different tools in order to get all of the information that you need for some particular project and copy/paste keywords around to do different kinds of analysis on them. Being the engineer that I am, this strikes me as a really inefficient way of getting anything done." Theme Zoom plans to turn "The Last Keyword Tool" into a "final solution" for keyword research. An ambitious endeavor, yes, but with a track record for creating market research applications like the Krakken ™ , many fans expect them to accomplish exactly this. The Theme Zoom team asks you to consider these six areas before selecting a Natural Language Processing keyword research tool. - It is useful if the tool provides both international and country-specific results. If your market is within a certain country, and the tool does not provide results specific to that country, then the tool's results won't be relevant to your market. - It is useful if the tool is available in foreign languages to support international commerce. - It is important that the tool not return static keywords from an outdated database, but "fresh squeezed" keywords that are used on the Internet in "real time." - It is useful to be able to analyze keywords that are retrieved using authentic LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) and Bayesian algorithms to understand which are most relevant to the leading conversations going on in relationship to your business theme. - It is useful if you can import keywords into a keyword tool...

[PRWeb May 19, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/anesthesia/brazil/prweb2403744.htm Fri, 15 May 2009 09:52:07 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery," the first comprehensive textbook in the field of anesthesia, in their native language, with the book's publication in Portuguese this June. Initial sales for this long awaited translation of Barry L. Friedberg, MD's landmark textbook, originally published by Cambridge University Press in April 2007, will take place at a dermatologic cosmetic surgery meeting Brazil. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" discusses brain monitored propofol ketamine (PK) anesthesia, a breakthrough technique pioneered by Friedberg, the top international authority on anesthesia for cosmetic surgery. Propofol is an antioxidant, a sleep drug and powerful anti-nausea drug. Under PK anesthesia, patients wake up refreshed, looking as if they never had surgery. With the book's translation, Portuguese-speaking surgeons and anesthesiologists will be able to learn about and apply this technique to their practices. "I am very happy with my book's huge success in the English speaking world. I am even more thrilled to be able to say that my book is now available to surgical teams in the world's number one market in their own language," Friedberg says. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" was the first anesthesia textbook to define levels of anesthesia numerically instead of with verbal descriptions. It was the first anesthesia textbook to define a reproducible context in which ketamine could be used to get pre-emptive analgesia without the drug's historically negative side effects. The pre-emptive analgesia breakthrough eliminates the need to give patients narcotic (opioid) pain medication during and after surgery. Narcotics are recognized as causes for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the number one issue patient's most want to avoid.

Initial sales for this long awaited translation of Barry L. Friedberg, MD's landmark textbook, originally published by Cambridge University Press in April 2007, will take place at a dermatologic cosmetic surgery meeting Brazil. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" discusses brain monitored propofol ketamine (PK) anesthesia, a breakthrough technique pioneered by Friedberg, the top international authority on anesthesia for cosmetic surgery. Propofol is an antioxidant, a sleep drug and powerful anti-nausea drug. Under PK anesthesia, patients wake up refreshed, looking as if they never had surgery. With the book's translation, Portuguese-speaking surgeons and anesthesiologists will be able to learn about and apply this technique to their practices. "I am very happy with my book's huge success in the English speaking world. I am even more thrilled to be able to say that my book is now available to surgical teams in the world's number one market in their own language," Friedberg says. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" was the first anesthesia textbook to define levels of anesthesia numerically instead of with verbal descriptions. It was the first anesthesia textbook to define a reproducible context in which ketamine could be used to get pre-emptive analgesia without the drug's historically negative side effects. The pre-emptive analgesia breakthrough eliminates the need to give patients narcotic (opioid) pain medication during and after surgery. Narcotics are recognized as causes for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the number one issue patient's most want to avoid. Brazilian, like American, surgery patients will receive PK's advantages of no PONV as well as minimal to no post-op pain.

The new findings come from Fastcheck, a world-leading supplier of free downloadable travel guides that has collected data from over 100 partner websites. The data reveals that demand for free PDF travel guides increased by 24% over the last 6 months, and reached a record high this month. The largest number of downloads were recorded on www.arrivalguides.com, a site that is maintained by Fastcheck. At the current rate, the company's free travel guides are projected to reach 14 million travelers in 2009. "We have seen a steady growth every year but the recession is definitely speeding up the process," says Mats Tidstrand, CEO of Fastcheck. "It seems that more people realize that they can cut their spending by finding free products online." Americans top the list With over 380 destinations and 2,000 guide variations, Fastcheck reaches travelers in over 160 countries. Increased demand has been observed in almost every market. Americans do, however, stand out as the most active users and account for a fifth of all downloads. At present, the U.S. demand for Southern Europe is particularly strong, and Italy has emerged as the most popular destination country for the summer. U.S. cities in high demand Between the U.S. cities, New York (1), Los Angeles (2) and Miami (3) have become the three most popular cities. Other destination guides that are in high demand this year are Chicago (4), Las Vegas (5), Honolulu (6), Washington D.C. (7), Boston (8), San Francisco (9), and Atlanta (10). London - the most downloaded city Findings also show that the world's five most popular travel guides all feature European cities. As expected, London - the most visited city in the world - ranks the highest (also in the U.S.), followed by Barcelona, Paris, Rome, and Berlin. As the popular city guides are updated more often, they are also downloaded more frequently. Says Mats Tidstrand: "People notice that they get the most up-to-date travel information on Internet, which is a huge advantage and another reason why we expect the online guides to continue to increase in popularity."

U.S. cities in high demand Between the U.S. cities, New York (1), Los Angeles (2) and Miami (3) have become the three most popular cities. Other destination guides that are in high demand this year are Chicago (4), Las Vegas (5), Honolulu (6), Washington D.C. (7), Boston (8), San Francisco (9), and Atlanta (10). London - the most downloaded city Findings also show that the world's five most popular travel guides all feature European cities. As expected, London - the most visited city in the world - ranks the highest (also in the U.S.), followed by Barcelona, Paris, Rome, and Berlin. As the popular city guides are updated more often, they are also downloaded more frequently. Says Mats Tidstrand: "People notice that they get the most up-to-date travel information on Internet, which is a huge advantage and another reason why we expect the online guides to continue to increase in popularity."

[PRWeb Apr 8, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/developer/database/prweb2295344.htm Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:56:29 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com database tools and developer software company, today announced a set of new and enhanced performance optimization tools to help companies detect, fix and prevent a range of costly software errors that will improve the performance, availability and scalability of software systems. These tools include J Optimizer 2009 for Java profiling and optimization, DB Optimizer 1.5 for SQL profiling and tuning, and Performance Center for automated 24/7 database monitoring. These complementary performance optimization tools enable the profiling and fine-tuning of Java and SQL code from the Java application layer down to the database layer, facilitating code development and detection of issues before an application or database query goes into production. They also help customers quickly diagnose and fix performance issues within live production systems, enabling them to improve application and database performance, thereby extending the life of existing hardware investments. Performance Center, serves as a 24/7 "watchdog" to monitor production database systems and pinpoint problems impacting performance and scalability. This enables customers to set-up automated performance monitoring and preventative actions ensuring production system performance and service levels are met. There is a two-fold value to this approach to optimization, according to Michael Swindell, vice president of products, Embarcadero. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so finding and fixing performance problems earlier in the application and database development lifecycles is far more cost effective than fixing issues downstream. And by combining dynamic code profiling with automated performance monitoring, customers can also capture and diagnose performance problems as they occur in production, automatically addressing conditions that may adversely affect deployed business-critical systems." Debuting J Optimizer 2009 J Optimizeris a next-generation Java profiling and error-checking tool based on the Optimizeit technology and development teams that Embarcadero acquired from Borland Software in 2008. J Optimizer enables Java developers to isolate and resolve performance issues during the development of Java programs and Java EE applications. With J Optimizer, developers can profile memory and CPU usage, display real-time threading information and determine which parts of the code are executed, all down to the line-level detail. J Optimizer also includes the Request Analyzer to track performance bottlenecks at the JDBC, JMS, JNDI, JSP, EJB, CCI and Web services level. DB Optimizer 1.5 DB Optimizer 1.5 is the newest version of Embarcadero's SQL profiling and tuning IDE. DB Optimizer maximizes database and application performance by enabling DBAs and developers to quickly discover, diagnose, and optimize poor-performing SQL. DB Optimizer 1.5 builds upon the 1.0 version of the SQL profiling and tuning tool with new features such as continuous profiling, full multi-platform support, a revamped interface and full Unicode support.

"Just like healthcare and other costs, taxes can be a concern for people with disabilities when they aren't managed well," said Paul Gada, a tax attorney and personal financial planning director for the Allsup Disability Life Planning Center. "More than 9.2 million people rely on SSDI benefits, but some may not understand the tax implications. They could be missing opportunities to reduce the real cost of their expenses." Below, Allsup offers five guidelines to help people with disabilities minimize the impact of taxes. More help is in Allsup's tax resources section on Allsup.com as well as in a podcast also issued today. 1. Be sure you know how your SSDI benefits are taxed. Both monthly and lump-sum retroactive payments of SSDI benefits are subject to federal income tax. Monthly SSDI benefits. Up to 50 percent of your SSDI benefits may be taxed. This is determined by adding up one-half of your SSDI benefits plus all of your other income sources. Taxes are owed on any amount above a base level (2008: $32,000/couples filing jointly; $25,000/individuals). "The average 2008 monthly SSDI benefit was under $1,100," Gada said. "As a result, most people will not owe any or will owe very little taxes." • Lump-sum SSDI benefits. It can take two to four years to receive disability benefits. As a result, someone could receive a lump-sum payment of $40,000 or more for back benefits owed. Mistakenly paying taxes on this as additional income in one year could be devastating to a person whose financial future depends on this amount. Fortunately, there is a special election that allows lump-sum payments to be spread over previous tax years that represent the retroactive pay period. This can be done using the current year tax return, with no need to file an amended return. However, the calculations are complex and Gada recommends seeking tax assistance. 2. File an income tax return - even if you do not owe taxes. If you do not file a tax return, you can miss out on credits and deductions that could make a difference of several hundred dollars in your budget. • Mary Jung People with Disabilities May Miss Out On Significant Tax Savings This Season Allsup, a leading provider of Social Security disability, financial and healthcare-related services to people with disabilities.

Logicalis - a multi-billion dollar IT solutions and strategy company - feels that the combination of Baker's experience and the nature of the services that Logicalis provides makes him an excellent candidate for a seat on the stimulus review board.

Logicalis' role in this technology forward economy has been a simple, albeit important one. The IT solutions and strategy company helps businesses reduce their costs and run more efficiently. This result is achieved through a variety of different services, from IT outsourcing to unified communications. Representatives from Logicalis feel that the waste reducing practices that are at the core of the company would make a perfect fit for a board whose primary goal will be to monitor and evaluate spending. "Many Americans have lost faith in the financial institutions, feeling let down and even cheated," Baker continued. "Logicalis is not a financial institution.

CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business is a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services. Using online tax preparation and electronic filing services continues to be among the fastest growing solutions. In fact, nearly 27 million taxpayers e-filed their tax returns from home last year, up from just over 9 million in 2002, according to the Internal Revenue Service. "Online tax prep and e-filing can save you time and money and ensure accuracy. But taxpayers need to do their homework first to make sure they are using the program that offers them the greatest value for their dollar," said Debra Gray, product manager for CCH CompleteTax (www.completetax.com). According to Gray, criteria taxpayers should consider include: * Is the site secure? You want to use an online program that encrypts your data using recognized security standards. Only use e-file programs that have been tested and approved by the IRS. These will display the IRS e-file logo on their home page. * Is it easy to use and can you try before you buy? Online software can save time because you don't have to download it to your computer. But make sure the program is easy to navigate and presents information clearly. Only choose an online tax program that allows you to try it out before purchase. * Does the program check your work? Make certain the program automatically checks for errors or oversights. The program should provide links to the problems to help you quickly correct potentially costly mistakes. * Does it clearly show the cost of preparing and filing your returns? The cost for using the program should be clearly displayed on the first page so that you can make an informed choice. Caution also needs to be taken to ensure you are selecting a provider that will not try to up-sell you to a more costly version. According to Gray, most do-it-yourself taxpayers should be able to find a good tax program for under $50, including costs for preparing both a federal and state return. Those with simple tax situations should be able to complete both a federal and state return for no more than $30. E-filing your returns should always be free. * What are the payment and refund options? Some programs, like CCH CompleteTax, let you deduct the cost of using their program from your expected tax refund and allow for direct deposit of your refund into your bank account for even faster access. * What are the help options? Ideally the program should be straightforward, allowing you to finish your tax returns on your own. But you will want comprehensive help should you run into a question you can't answer. So make sure the tax program provides help resources on every page of its program and offers support via e-mail or live online chat.

[PRWeb Jan 30, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/CCH_CompleteTax/tax_guide/prweb1925514.htm Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:44:51 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com 3,000 pages were added to the federal income tax code; knowing about the changes that impact individual taxpayers is important in helping them minimize what they owe in taxes, according to tax analysts for CCH CompleteTax, the online tax preparation and electronic filing solution for the do-it-yourself taxpayer from CCH. CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business is a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services. "With a tax code that is now equivalent to more than 33 copies of The New Oxford American Dictionary, it's pretty clear that the average person can't keep up with every rule and regulation, which is why so many people rely on tax software or tax professionals to help make sure they have the information needed to complete their tax returns accurately," said David Bergstein, CPA, tax analyst for CCH CompleteTax (www.CompleteTax.com). "But it's still important for people to have a basic understanding of tax rules so that they can be informed taxpayers and look for ways to minimize their taxes throughout the year." Over the past few years, and this year again, the IRS has changed the mailing addresses for filing income tax returns in several areas, making tax software's ability to easily electronically file tax returns all the more attractive. According to Bergstein, changes affecting 2008 tax returns run the gamut from credits and deductions to exemptions, exclusions and broad relief in disaster areas after an active 2008 summer storm season. Below are just a few highlights of the changes for 2008, which Bergstein elaborated on in a podcast today; more detail on all are included in the free CCH CompleteTax Tax Guide, on the CCH CompleteTax site: Exemptions - Personal exemption. This increased to $3,500 per person for 2008. - AMT exemption. The AMT exemption increased for 2008 to $69,950 for joint filers and surviving spouses, $46,200 for single filers and $34,975 for married persons filing separate returns. Deductions - Standard deduction. This increased for 2008 to $10,900 for joint filers and surviving spouses; $8,000 for those filing as head of household; and $5,450 for single filers and married persons filing separate returns. - Temporary property tax deduction added to standard deduction. A temporary deduction, available for 2008 only, allows taxpayers who do not itemize deductions a limited deduction for state and local real property taxes. This increases the amount of their standard deduction by the amount of real property taxes they paid in 2008 or by $500 ($1,000 for joint filers), whichever is less. - Standard mileage rate. The standard mileage deduction rate for business and medical travel for 2008 split at mid-year.

(DDNi), a PC customer-experience company, today announced OASIS 2.0, a revolutionary PC software interface for end-users. Developed for PC OEMs to deliver their own custom branded platform, OASIS 2.0 allows PC companies to improve the user software and interface that ship with their computers. Consumers benefit from the ability to tailor their PC experience to best suit their needs and unify how they want to interact with their computer between the desktop, software, online applications and websites. The DDNi OASIS platform will be demonstrated in the Lenovo Product Showcase at the AquaKnox inside the Venetian Hotel at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show. "Over all the years of one vendor beating up another on performance, PC OEMs are moving the battle into who can improve the user experience more," said Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst, Enderle Group. "User experience is the primary battlefield and everything else is a distant second. This focus by vendors as well as OEMs who are going down similar paths, should result in well-differentiated experiences that real people can choose between and an overall improvement in our satisfaction with PC-based products." As the main launch point for the PC user, the OASIS 2.0 launch site can be customized to the user's specifications. DDNi's intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows the user to add commonly used applications like Microsoft Office, favorite web locations, peripheral devices, and personal preferences into a centralized location. Other personal files and entertainment including music, games, pictures, and videos can be added to the DDNi interface to give users the power to control their digital content and experience it how they want to - without competing applications trying to switch user preferences. The dynamic drag-and-drop interface can also help users easily create "sharable experiences," such as a slideshow of a recent vacation with background music, or favorite items on a retail shopping site, that can be spontaneously shared with others via embedded social networking features. The DDNi platform unifies the user experience beginning the first time the PC is powered on. This is accomplished by streamlining preferences, profiles and user choices to create one-click navigation for users to access local files, websites and web services. Single sign-on and a secure centralized payment center allow the user to only enter these details once for use throughout hundreds of supported sites. Without OASIS 2.0, users have a disparate PC experience where applications, internet services and web locations have separate starting points, with each requiring distinct logon credentials and payment details for every transaction. As PC OEMs integrate a custom branded DDNi 2.0 platform into their systems, the end result is a more satisfying and secure user experience that builds a long term relationship with the PC OEM...
