I Survived Real Estate 2009 is an award winning breast cancer fundraiser for the Orange County affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The event took place on September 11th, 2009 at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California. Fundraiser money was donated by multiple event attendees and sponsors.
The primary function of I Survived Real Estate 2009 was to inform investors about current and future issues related to the real estate industry. Multiple industry experts donated their time to give an informative speech to the audience about the problems facing their specific niche in real estate.
Event speakers included: David G. Kittle of the Mortgage Bankers Association, Bruce Norris of The Norris Group, Pat Vredevoogd Combs of the National Association of Realtors, Tommy Williams of the National Auctioneers Association, Christopher Thornberg of Beacon Economics, John Young of the California Building Industry Association, Joseph Magdziarz of the Appraisal Institute, and Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac.
Joseph Magdziarz answered questions about how houses are currently being valued and who the final editor is for real estate appraisals. He also discussed issues pertaining to the automated valuation model and appraisal management companies.
David G. Kittle discussed issues related to Mortgage modifications, current and future legislation, cram downs, and economic stimulus.
Christopher Thornberg discussed the trends of employment, real estate values, U.S. dollar value, inflation, and mortgage rates.
Rick Sharga made predictions for foreclosures and delinquency rates in 2010. He also gave explanations for the various reasons people give for foreclosing on their properties.
Tommy William explained why auctions are a useful tool for quickly getting rid of housing inventory and gauging market value.
John Young discussed how appraisal management companies are damaging the building industry. He also explained how California builders survived the down turn of 2007-2009, and how they could be helped.
Pat Combs made predictions for U.S. real estate values and sales. She also discussed current issues affecting real estate brokers such as Federal Housing Administration regulations, Real estate appraisal problems, stimulus plans and legislation.

Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction, in Kissimmee, Florida, is a dinner theater show that features horses from around the world performing in an indoor equestrian arena while guests eat and watch. The arena where the show is held is called the Palace of Horses. Arabian Nights is privately held.
Show
Guests of Arabian Nights are celebrating the birthday of a princess. The princess has a genie who is capable of summoning the magical power of Walter Farley's fabled black stallion. When the festivities are interrupted by an uninvited guest, the black stallion’s power must be used. The show includes 20 horse-themed acts including dancing Arabians, bareback riding, chariot racing, reining, trick riding and horseback square dancing The show lasts one hour and 45 minutes.
Venue
The Palace of Horses is the world’s largest indoor equestrian facility for a permanent show at 56,000 sq. ft. A two-foot layer of pinewood chip serves as the stage for the show and is surrounded by 12 sections of stadium-style tiered seating. Seating capacity is up to 1,200 guests. The Palace was designed with Moorish-themed architecture.
Horses
Arabian Nights features 65 horses in its show, including the following 14 breeds: Arabian, Canadian Warmblood, Percheron, American Quarter Horse, Hungarian Coldblood, Saddlebreed, Andalusian, Miniature Horse, Standardbred, Appaloosa, Morgan, Shetland, Belgian, and Paint.
History
Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction was opened by Mark and Galen Miller on February 29, 1988. In 2004, the Arabian Nights Holiday Show was introduced and runs every year from November 15 through January 1. As of November 2, 2009, Hanna Miller was promoted to president and Audrey Padgett to executive vice president. Paul Proly was also hired as vice president of sales.

There has been a major effort to develop libraries for R to carry out point process analysis. There are a number of libraries available for the analysis of multidimensional point processes. Baddeley and Turner have implemented "<code>spatstat</code>". Rowlingson and Diggle have provided another library for two-dimensional point processes called "<code>splancs</code>". "<code>ptproc</code>" is another major library that is developed at UCLA .
In order to do stochastic modeling for the point processes Baddeley and Turner have implemented the techniques as a package named "<code>spatstat</code>" in the . Both <code>spatstat</code> and R are freely available for download from the R website R-project. One can carry out basic Poisson regressions in R using GLM function.
The <code>spatstat</code> Package
The <code>spatstat</code> package is used to do analysis on spacial point processes. it includes:
#Tools for exploratory data analysis
#Convenient graphical facilities
#Tools to simulate a wide range of point pattern models
#Versatile model-fitting capabilities
#Model diagnostics.
The <code>spatstat</code> package is considered to be one of the largest contributions to the R project, the package contains about 300 user-level functions and a 500-page manual.
Stochastic Modeling Using <code>spatstat</code> and R
The <code>spatstat</code> package can be used to fit Poisson point process models, Gibbs point process models and random cluster process models to a point pattern dataset. It can be used for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous models.
