by Prof Zhou

Dear Colleague, Topics of the BMEI 2013 Section on Informatics include (but are not limited to): Communications and Networking, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Intelligent Computing, Information Security, Automation and Control, etc.. We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 2013 6th International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI 2013) and the 2013 6th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing (CISP 2013) will be held in Hangzhou, China. An old Chinese saying goes, "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below." (Suzhou is about 100 kilometers north of Hangzhou). Famous for its scenic splendor, Hangzhou attracts more than 20 million tourists from home and abroad every year. West Lake is completely man-made in the imperial garden style. "Impressions of the West Lake" is an evening spectacle of light and dance staged outdoors at West Lake, created by award-winning director Zhang Yimou and musician Kitaro. Peak Flown in from Afar and Lingyin Temple are well-known for Buddhist carvings. Hangzhou is among the six oldest cities in China and is the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the longest canal ever built in the world. Boating on the old Canal is one of the best ways to get a panoramic view of river towns, with ancient dwellings, traditional stone bridges, and historical relics. Explore Chinese culture at the museums of tea, silk and Chinese medicine. As with past CISP-BMEI conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP, as well as IEEE Xplore (All CISP 2008-2012 and BMEI 2008-2011 papers have already been indexed by EI Compendex and included in IEEE Xplore. BMEI 2012 papers have been included in IEEE Xplore and submitted to EI Compendex). Substantially extended versions of best papers will be considered for publication in a CISP-BMEI special issue of a SCI-indexed journal. CISP-BMEI 2013 is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of multimedia, signal processing, biomedical engineering and informatics. The registration fee of US*D390 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions.

Democratic leaders hope to also push other nominations through the Senate before Congress begins its summer recess this weekend, but some face uncertain fates.Even so, that bipartisan agreement -- which saw Democrats drop a threat to change Senate rules to weaken minority party clout -- has let Obama fill some major gaps in his second-term administration. That deal and the momentum it has created has let him install leaders at agencies including the FBI, the Labor Department, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.On Tuesday, the chamber moved rapidly for the normally glacial Senate and approved three Democrats and two Republicans to serve on the NLRB, which helps resolve labor disputes.Without confirmation of at least one of them before Congress' recess, much of the NLRB's work would have ground to a halt by late August. That is when NLRB Chairman Mark Gaston Pe Inmates at a California jail can choose to serve hard time in style so long as they are willing to pay for the upgrade.Time Magazines NewsFeed blog reports that for $155 per nightabout the price of a three-star hotel prisoners serving time for misdemeanors can bunk in a special section of the Fremont Detention Center.The lodging option is part of an Alternative Confinement Program, which was created to increase revenue and reduce overcrowding of nearby jails.Convicts with no criminal gang connections, history of violence, or sex crime convictions can opt to stay at the Fremont facility as an alternative to staying in the larger Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility in Oakland or the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, which houses 4000 inmates, many of whom have gang affiliations. Fremont has a maximum capacity of 96 prisoners."It's still a jail; there's no special treatment, Lt. Mark Devine, who oversees the pay-to-stay program told a local newspaper, the Argus. "They get the same cot, blanket and food as anybody in the county jail, except that our jail is smaller, quieter and away from the county jail population."Fremont spends just over $8 a day per inmate. The city could earn an annual net profit of about $244,000 if they can house 16 inmates for two nights per week."This place is for a person who has committed a petty theft or a DUI," Devine added. "It's for people who need to serve one or five, or maybe 10 days in jail."Inmates can stay in p

Allowing it to defrost slowly and at a controlled temperature lends to a juicier, more flavorful steak. Place the frozen steak in its wrapper on a plate or flat surface and allow it to defrost overnight on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator.iStockIf youve just gotten home and you need that frozen steak cooked that night, the sink is Marshs second preferred method for thawing a steak. If you can spare the space, he recommends filling the entire sink with cold water and allowing the steak to defrost in its packaging. This allows the steak to defrost evenly and at a controlled temperature. Because the cold water will become slightly warm from sitting, this method works faster than the refrigerator and usually only takes about 20 minutes.iStockMarsh strongly discourages using the microwave to thaw a steak. The heat from the microwave causes the steak to lose its natural juices, and the final product with be drier and less tender than had you used the refrigerator or sink. That being said, he knows that sometimes the microwave cant be avoided, and claims that oftentimes defrosting in the microwave goes wrong because people dont know how to do it correctly. To use the microwave, leave the steak in its packaging and watch it carefully as it defrosts. As soon as the out portions start to thaw, take it out and let it rest. The Senate is ready for a showdown on President Obama's pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives in a battle that carries echoes of this year's gun control fight.Democrats were forcing a vote Wednesday on ending Republican stalling tactics against B. Todd Jones' nomination to head the agency, which enforces federal firearms laws. They are hoping for a different outcome this time for Obama and his allies, who were defeated in April when the Senate refused to expand background check requirements for gun buyers.With Congress itching to begin a summer recess at week's end, Wednesday's schedule also includes a vote on ending delays against Samantha Power, whom the president nominated to become ambassador to the United Nations. The former Obama foreign policy adviser and longtime human rights activist was expected to win approval.Jones seemed to face tough odds in January when Obama named him to become ATF director. But with the influential National Rifle Association saying this week that it is neutral about Jones, Democrats have expressed optimism that they will garner the 60 votes needed to halt the delays and hold a confirmation vote."I think we're going to get it," said Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., the Democrats' vote counter.Obama nominated Jones shortly after the December massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., turned firearms violence into a top-tier issue. The gunman killed 20 first-graders and

Curators have been working to add more contemporary and conceptual art over the past 10 years.Chief Curator Peter Jakab said art helps people reflect on aerospace achievements and the humanity imbued in each machine.Albert Watson, a photographer known for his portraits of celebrities, such as Steve Jobs, and of fashion, took a break in 1990 to photograph spacesuits and other artifacts. More recently, he donated two large-scale prints of an Apollo glove and boot to the museum.Watson said he was captivated by the thought of suits that traveled in space and came back covered with moon dust."When you deal with celebrities every day or super models every day and fashion people every day, there is always a nice escape to go into still life," he said. "As a child, I loved science fiction. I always remember arguing with my father about rocket ships. He said man will never go into space, he said, because what goes up must come down."RELATED:Future Carriers Built to Carry Drone FleetsThe museum also has acquired a sculpture by Angela Palmer that evokes 46 different earth-like worlds that have been discovered by NASA's Kepler Observatory. The piece, entitled "Searching for Goldilocks," involves 18 sheets of glass marked with circles for each star with an orbiting planet.It refers to "Goldilocks" planets that might supp race and not worrying about anything."Just before they called my name tonight I could really feel the butterflies going so I am just so delighted to get the win."I actually heard my dad shouting 'Go Boy!' just before I jumped in and my mum is also here which is great."I didn't think it was going to be as hard as it was."When I came back from a two-month break I had a small injury and I think that was due to a lack of motivation."I wanted to be 100 percent fit before I started, I believe you can't do things half-heartedly, if you're going to train you've got to train properly."Poland's Korzeniowski, 28, only returned to training at the start of 2013 after injury which cost him any sponsors, and was pleased with his silver."I just wanted to swim with Chad and at 150 metres I was in a very good position, but the last fifty was decisive and he was the better man," said the 2009 world silver medallist."This is my third World Championship medal, I won in Montreal and I got second in Rome, so I am very happy."I broke my foot and missed training for 2 months, I only started back in January so it is not a long time."I didn't have any sponsors: after the Olympics I got injured and no one would sponsor me anymore so hopefully now I will get some sponsors to go to the Olympics in Rio."Wu, 26, who won world silver in this event six years ago, was content with his bronze."I didn't prepare for this championship for a long time so I am very satis
