Topic Outline
Diagnosing and treating dermatologic lesions of the mouth and gums is challenging for most clinicians because of the wide variety of disease processes that can present with similar appearing lesions and the fact that most clinicians receive inadequate training in mouth diseases. In a study of oral lesions in older adult patients, for example, almost all clinicians surveyed felt that it was important to examine older patients' mouths, but less than one-fifth stated that they routinely performed such examinations [1]. Almost four-fifths did not correctly diagnose a clinical picture of an early squamous cell carcinoma.
One of the keys to improving accuracy in diagnosing oral lesions is forming an appropriate differential diagnosis. This review will discuss the presentation and treatment of the most common oral lesions, including tumors, infections, autoimmune and connective tissues diseases, aphthous ulcers, and other miscellaneous oral lesions.
Gingivitis, periodontal disease, odontogenic infections, and halitosis are discussed separately. (See "Gingivitis and periodontitis in adults: Classification and dental treatment" and "Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of odontogenic infections" and "Bad breath".)
Squamous cell carcinoma — Cancer of the oral cavity is associated with ulcers or masses that do not heal and with dental changes or poorly fitting dentures. Tongue and lip cancers present as exophytic or ulcerative lesions often associated with pain. Up to two-thirds of patients with primary tongue lesions have nodal disease; the incidence is substantially lower in patients with hard palate and lip cancers. (See "Overview of treatment for head and neck cancer" and "Overview of the diagnosis and staging of head and neck cancer".)
Persistent papules, plaques, erosions, or ulcers in the mouth should be biopsied to rule out squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in patients with appropriate risk factors (picture 1A-C). It has been estimated that the use of tobacco and alcohol account for up to 80 percent of cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [1]. The combined effect of alcohol and smoking is multiplicative with the risk of developing head and neck cancer being as much as 200 times greater for heavy smokers and drinkers. A subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, particularly with high-risk type 16 (HPV-16). Oral infection with HPV-16 confers an approximately 50-fold increase in risk for HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [2]. (See "Epidemiology and risk factors for head and neck cancer" and "Human papillomavirus associated head and neck cancer".)

Category Archives: Religion
Is the Caliphate Islamic?
Is the Pope Catholic?
President Obama says the Islamic State isn't Islamic. The Washington Post says "Americans disagree" and has nifty charts and polls to prove it. Daniel Pipes disagrees too. The Middle East scholar says ISIS is "100% Islamic".
Dennis B. Ross says, in the NYT, that ISIS is Islamist and "Islamists are not our friends".
What the Islamists all have in common is that they subordinate national identities to an Islamic identity.
Peggy Noonan (click The Genocide of the Mideastern Christians – WSJ) says the Islamic State is "de-Christianising the Mideast where Christianity began".
An estimated two-thirds of the Christians of Iraq have fled that country since the 2003 U.S. invasion. They are being driven from their villages in northern Iraq. They are terrorized, brutalized, executed. This week an eyewitness in Mosul, which fell to Islamic State in June, told NBC News the jihadists were committing atrocities. In Syria, too, they have executed Christians for refusing to convert.
Update: John Kerry is putting "the real Islam out there".
Andrew Wilson in The American Spectator calls Obama's claim "the grossest nonsense".
Under Mohammed, Islam began as a religion of conquest. A commitment to wage jihad or holy war and to "smite the necks" of unbelievers has been part of Islam from the earliest days. In the 100 years following Mohammed's death in AD 632, when Islam was still confined to the Arabian peninsula, Arab armies spread the faith as far west as Spain and as far east as northern India and the frontier of China.
JV Team
Back when President Obama was bragging that core Al Qaeda had been destroyed, he dismissed ISIS as a terror JV team. Now the JV team is rich and armed with American military hardware. It controls territory in Iraq and Syria. And it's as comfortable with social networking as it is with beheading.
Last week Defense Secretary Hagel had this to say about the JV team: "This is beyond anything that we've seen" … "The sophistication of terrorism and ideology married with resources presents a whole new dynamic and paradigm of threats to this country."
Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dempsey added, ""This is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision which will eventually have to be defeated." He also said ISIS would have to be attacked in Syria to be destroyed.
By Monday it wasn't clear that the White House was on board with Dempsey's assessment.
Apocalyptic though it may be, Dempsey now says ISIS is not a "direct threat" to the U.S. and he won't propose bombing in Syria until it is.
The president is evolving.
Religious Freedom
Religious freedom has been taking a beating.
A National Review editorial last week made the point that during the Clinton administration Democrats in Congress felt the Supreme Court had too narrow a view of religious liberty. As a result the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was passed with bipartisan support and signed into law by President Clinton.
Along comes the Affordable Care Act (ACA), …which empowered the Obama administration to issue regulations that burdened a religious liberty..
This leaves Democrats in a political pickle. They passed a law to protect religious freedom, but they do not desire to protect religious freedom when doing so interrupts their risible war-on-women soap opera.
Senator Udall, in his rhetoric, has been particularly dishonest about this, characterizing the Hobby Lobby decision as mandating that women "have to ask their bosses for a permission slip to access common forms of birth control." In fact, the decision does no such thing: Hobby Lobby has nothing to do with the right to do anything, but rather with the right to not do something.
Elsewhere on the religious freedom front, the Islamic State of Iraq has ordered Christians to either pay jizya (a religious tax), convert to Islam, or die.
Hamas and the Iron Dome
Hamas has fired over 1200 rockets claiming "every Israeli is a legitimate target". So far only one "legitimate target" has been killed. That's because of Israel's Iron Dome missile defense.
Israel doesn't consider individual Palestinians "legitimate targets". Before striking back at Hamas it warned civilians with pamphlets and phone calls. Hamas responded by telling them to stay in place as human shields.
Charles Krauthammer writes in the Washington Post, "Rarely does international politics present a moment of such moral clarity":
"Here's the difference between us," explains the Israeli prime minister. "We're using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles."
Hamas and the Iron Dome
William Saletan in Slate says there's plenty to argue about in Gaza, "But one thing should be clear to everyone: Hamas is insane. It's destroying Gaza."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, is perplexed:
"What are you trying to achieve by sending rockets?" he asked rhetorically in a TV interview. In another appearance, he pleaded: "We are the losing side, and every minute there are more and more unnecessary deaths. … I don't like trading in Palestinian blood."
The Guardian disagrees. Seumas Milne says, "The idea of Israel defending itself from unprovoked attacks is absurd."
Campus Speech
Well, at least the Harvard Black Mass didn't happen Monday night.
The Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club invited the devil himself to campus. Lucifer's speaking gig was arranged in conjunction with the New York Satanic Temple. The event was to take place in the form of a Satanic Black Mass. Joining the Prince of Darkness at the lectern was to be Harvard professor Christopher Robichaud. According to USA Today Robichaud planned to remark on religious liberty.
Not surprisingly, Catholics were outraged and the thing was moved off campus under a storm of protest. At the last moment it was cancelled altogether.
In April Brandeis University cancelled altogether its offer of an honorary doctorate for Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She writes and speaks about real religious liberty and the real war on women in Muslim countries. She's also a critic of Islam itself. Condoleeza Rice was driven away from her Rutgers University speech by unhinged faculty members and their poorly informed students accusing her of war crimes. IMF boss Christine Legarde was also disinvited from her speaking engagement at Smith University.
I'm not equating disinviting Legarde, Rice, or Ali to disinviting Satan. I'm equating academics to nuts.
In a column about the lack of due process in college, Thomas Sowell discusses "free speech" zones on campus:
The track record of academics in other kinds of cases is not the least bit encouraging as regards the likelihood of impartial justice. Even on many of our most prestigious college campuses, who gets punished for saying the wrong thing and who gets away with mob actions depends on which groups are in vogue and which are not.
This is carried to the point where some colleges have established what they call "free speech zones" — as if they are granting a special favor by not imposing their vague and arbitrary "speech codes" everywhere on campus.
The irony in this is that the Constitution already established a free speech zone. It covers the entire United States.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John611 Our annual visit My wife and I first visited Hawaii in 2005 and stayed here to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. That started the beginning of an annual tradition. The room views are terrific and it's close to the ocean. The staff is friendly and always ready to help make your stay comfortable. It's nice having two pools so when you want to just relax the Infinity pool is a great place for the adults to retreat to. There is shopping and fine food on site and the Waikiki night life is a short walk away. If you only plan to visit Waikiki once in your life this is a must place to stay at. September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve2427 Excellent location and service Overall, this is a very nice hotel with excellent view and well experienced staff. Only one area to improve: Too much noise during toilet flushing, coming from the room directly above. The noise can be heard very loudly, especially at night. May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coop21 We Keep Coming Back Our initial greeting with the hotel preferred guest rep Ashley was not a good representation for the hotel. But after check-in everything else was perfect! We keep coming back to this hotel because of the wonderful accommodations, the hypnotic ocean and beautiful surroundings. June 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KimD13 Ideal location and friendly staff My mom and I arrived at the Sheraton for a 5 night stay. We were offered a complimentary upgrade to an ocean view room after my original booking in a partial ocean view room. The girl at the front desk (didn't get her name) was very nice and accommodating. I could not ask for better service. Although the rooms are basic and could use upgrades, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our room to the fullest. The room was clean and the views were to die for! Room service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. We saw TURTLES swimming in front of the infinity pool almost every day of our stay. We also had a great view of Diamond Head and the pool area. I read some people had issues with "thin walls". We were lucky not to have this issue. We were on the 7th floor. I slept like a baby and I'm generally a light sleeper. Only negative....there was a couple of people smoking on their balcony during our stay. I'm a non-smoker and had to return to my room for 10 minutes after enjoying coffee on the balcony to avoid the disgusting smell. I think it would be nice for the hotel to post a "non-smoking" sign on the balconies if they are indeed a non-smoking area. What I consider a smoking "issue" would not stop me from staying at this hotel again. I certainly recommend this hotel for couples, families and general travel. Thank you Sheraton for a wonderful stay! September 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeremy96815 Comfortable hotel for three nights Enjoyed our stay for three nights. Room itself was fine and clean. Check-in was pleasant. The hotel is more family-oriented, although they do a good job of separating the kids from adults between the two pools. The shops in the hotel are also convenient, especially the small market/convenience store. The hotel is also conveniently located near shopping centers with many restaurants. Minor points: the TV is somewhat small, especially given the distance from the bed to the TV, and there was a fair amount of noise, such as trucks backing up, due to our room and location. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 awesome vacation we booked this stay as a mini vacation. was just my husband and I. when we checked in we was greeted by Mark or Matthew. sorry can't remember the name but, he was so good in taking care of our needs and what the hotel had to offer. when we got to our room it was so amazing and breathe taking we loved it . the only problem was the TV in our room always had a weak signal so we could only watch certain channels.. the other room we booked there TV was great.. but, overall we enjoyed Rumfire, Kai market, the food restraunts, in the hotel and the service we got was awesome. We are coming again to stay in June for another function we have to attend. We both can't wait to come back. thank you so much for a great service.. April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IS200 Thank you for a pleasant stay ! Everything are beyond our expecations. Room, food, staff, everything is so nice. We were supprised your hospitality. Especialy welcoming room set-up. We expressed our sincere gratitude. Thank you for provideing a fabulous room. We were quite comfortable during our stay without any truobles. We were so honor to stay your hotel. That is what the prestige hotel. We definitely come back to stay your hotel. September 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ronton Great turnaround So i am a frequent traveller to Honolulu as i own a business there. I have stayed at all 4 of the starwood properties several times each (this hotel probably 20 plus times) I have been around for the renovations etc.. over the past 3-4 years and while the renovtions have made the property great (especially for younger kids) since the renovations I have been very disapointed with the service. In November the service was so bad that we even checked out a cuple of days early from the hotel in frustration. When booking the family coming over in March, the kids really wanted to go to that pool, so I said we would give it one more chance. We were also using points to stay so my expectations were very low as to the service/room etc... we would get. I have to say, I think customer service has been a point or training for the folks over at Sheraton Waikiki. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff from Front desk, to housekeeping, to the lounge, to the pool area. Everyone gave my family the respect and service level one would expect in such a hotel. Thanks! March 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by George27 Great resort on the beach Great rooms and all around amenities. The Infinity pool with nothing but ocean view was my favourite place. While my kids were out surfing in the ocean,my wife and I just relaxed in the Infinity pool. Almost like a sanctuary. The pool/beach crib had all the toys we needed to enjoy our 3 days stay. At night just walk the shops and you have a full vacation which satisfies all members of the family. Not to mention what a great staff at this place from check-in to check-out. Thank-you all. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by baytraveler7 Best Sheraton I have stayed at! I was here for work so I didn't get to enjoy the facilities to the fullest, but was very impressed. The pools looked great and the Leahi Club was impressive. Great location, great views. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ki23 Beautiful Hawaii A wonderful stay in beautiful Hawaii. We love this hotel, the infinite pool is awesome and enjoyed the water yoga! Great beach access and convenient food by the pool. Our only complaint was that the charge for the lounger with a cushion. Regular loungers were free but anything with a cushion cost more! Loved the upgrade to an Ocean view. Would highly recommend this hotel, We have stayed here before and it did not disappoint not us. Best kept secret of Honolulu. We also stayed at another hotel during this trip and it did not compare to this hotel. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Juvaqo This hotel puts you first From check-in to check-out the staff at this hotel made us feel welcome and at home. They were warm, sincere, professional, and turned what could've been a chaotic trip into a memorable one. Despite being busy with a marathon, surfing competition, and anniversary of Pearl Harbor they took care of us as if we were their top priority. The concierge staff helped us plan activities - both at the hotel and out. The amenities and activities available at the hotel were amazing, and the location is perfect for beach access and exploring! I definitely plan to come back!!! January 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IDbrowns Your staff are simply the best My wife and I have stayed at the Steraton Waikiki every May-June for the past 12 years. This past year it was great to see that the staff of the hotel are as friendly and helpful as they have been on all other visits. They just can't do enough to ensure that we had a great time on our vacation, including: making sure we had a room on a suitable lower level; making us comfortable throughout; meeting and greeting us at breakfast every morning; providing excellent service from poolside to the bars; and just being nice people. Thanks and hope to see you all next May. June 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by LesleyKay The balcony had great views!! The staff were great and responded promptly to requests except when i asked that the noisy air conditioner be repaired. It would intermittently make noise that woke me up. 3 calls and the A/c continued to make noise when i left. the housekeeping staff were Great and worked around my schedule to keep my room clean. The hallways and elevators are not air conditioned and were sometimes hot. The hot tub should be restricted to adults only. Every time I tried to relax, someone would bring their toddler in to splash around. I have read that hottubs are not heathy for children. The variety of food available in the hotel could have more variety. There is also no chest to unpack your bag, only shelves in the closet. Otherwise, a good stay. April 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rafa Great pool and club lounge view. All the rest can be improved Let's start with the good - 1-) Infinity pool in the hotel is unbeatable. It does have one of the best pools in Waikiki area. It is very gorgeous and luxurious. One could melt its senses there. 2-) Club lounge has also one of the most breath-taking views. It is classy, spacious and have good food. It was probably one of the best club lounges I've ever been in the SPG Chain. Now, let's go to the not-so-good 1-) SPG Status. I did not feel that I was treated different having a SPG Platinum Status. Besides for the separate line when checking-in, nothing else made me feel I was truly different. Theoretically the grey bracelet would have given us something different at the pool, but, folks there couldn't point out the difference. The 'complimentary' drink was also limited to just a few options. 2-) The hotel room. I've got an upgrade because I've requested one for my honeymoon. While the room was truly spacious, it was not well decorated. Even though it was already considered the newly renovated one, it felt like a room from the 60s and an empty one. If I had known about the room, I would not have gotten an upgrade in the first place. Or, stayed a this hotel. October 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Reese Sheraton Waikiki Unsatisfactory! I had to contact the front desk manager about the room cleanliness and that my rooms toilet ran all night... May 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by kurichan I had some complaint We booked partial ocean view room. Our room, however, had no ocean view. We complained to customer service and we were told to go out to Lanai and look around for the ocean. We spend most of our time in the room but not on Lanai and we can not appreciate this kind of treatment. If this is your "Standerd" you should clearly state "Partial ocean view form Lanai but not form the room" at the time of booking. We wrote our complaint on your survey card and submitted to your staff but have not received any feed back. We presumed one of your employee might have disposed of it and we stated again. We also noticed that the rear side of your Lanai mesh chair is very dirty. It may spoil clothes of your customer. We recommend it to be cleaned occasionally. Thank you. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam8 Wonderful resort This hotel has all the excitement of a city hotel with the Rum fire bar and the lights display in the evening. The resort is located on Waikiki Beach and shops next door. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Danielle9380 First time to Hawaii, loved it, will be back for sure My husband and I went to Hawaii for the first time in January/February. We stayed in Honolulu for 3 nights at the Sheraton Waikiki and absolutely loved it. They upgraded us as it was our first time there. Everything was great from start to finish. The only two complaints were in the infinity pool area, staff did not make a family with small young children in the pool/ deck area leave and second, our first night there the room next to us had an infant crying all night.They offered to move us the next day however the people checked out before we had to May 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WacGen The best pools at Waikiki - great for kids This is a great hotel if you are looking for a cultural experience.... a Japanese cultural experience. This hotel is frequented by Japanese tourists and, except for the staff, can fools someone into thinking they are in Japan. Fantastic and authentic Japanese restaurants are walking distances. The 2 pools (a multi-level w/ slide and an infinity pool) are great for times you don't feel like going into salt water. The beach is just steps away if you do. This is my second time at this hotel and will be back again in the future. July 10, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kr1976 Disappointed After staying here a few years in a row we are totally disappointed this time. Being an SPG member seems to mean nothing & we paid for a better pool view room which was seemed smaller / worse than the others that are cheaper. I find that they have a deal stay 4 nights get 5th night free yet this doesn't apply to me because of the "type of reservation i booked" - so u become a SPG member for better service yet you miss out on other benefits which seem cheaper!! This hotel def needs a revamp - def shouldnt charge the money you do in this condition. May 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by pguinnsr 35th Anniversary Trip to Waikiki Unconcerned about satisfaction of guests. April 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by lec561 Hotel right by the beach First impression wasn't the best as our bathroom really reeked. They changed the shower curtain and cleaned the bathroom and the smell was GONE. woot! But front entrance had a stained tile which was not appealing to the eye. Even my kids complained. Did not like the staff manning the front of Rum Fires. All I wanted were two NON-alcoholic drinks. But I was with my 3 y.o. and they refused to help me get the drink. Told me to leave my daughter in the room. Yet, it's the law states that we cannot leave a child unattended. So... I was left with NO DRINK! December 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Roami26 STILL a GREAT choice when stayin in Honolulu... The Sheraton Waikiki is STILL my favorite choice when staying in Honolulu. It's a great value for the location and awesome views.from its rooms. I particularly like the "Adult" Infinity Pool. It allows for a little respite from the noise and activity of the family pool. (NOT to mention the amazing views from the poolside chairs and cabanas!). This hotel DOES have quite a bit of "conference business"...and the hotel may be full...yet you still feel like there's plenty of space. Great shopping and the RUMFIRE Bar/Lounge is a special treat at sunset! July 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SDGirl EXCEPTIONAL! Our stay was exceptional! The ocean view rooms are spectacular, you over see theLegendary Waikiki Beach with its coral blue waters and white sand. The hotel has an AMAZING Club Lounge with a variety of selections to choose from. You can sit and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine (or two) and view the gorgeous sunset. The infinity pool is one of my favorite things to do at the hotel it's relaxing and just so peaceful and beautiful. The team is on it! they did not miss a beat. Our experience was definitely very memorable and I can't wait to get back! September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam8 Amazing Hotel This hotel has the perfect location for beach, surfing and shopping September 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by boozy needs better lighting we spent 2/7-10 2013 in the sheraton waikiki in Honolulu. we were upgraded to a suite atha had lots of counter and cabinet space but nothing in them. there was no couteousy bar/mini bar even. the bulbs in the lamps next to bed were to low wattage to read and i am 60. the shower was nice and strong but i was afraid the diverter was going to fall off. the curtains went the wrong direction when opeing the door to the patio. the included breakfast was good, plentiful and nicely staffed as the dirty plates were cleared if you went for more. coffee good. February 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by spg2345 Much improved Had previously submitted a negative review about a stay a few years ago. This time was much better. Staff was friendly across the board, the lounge is nice, and RumFire has good food/cocktails. The previous problems with plat treatment/resort fee has been addressed and you now get to fill up a little gift bag from the gift shop as the alternate amenity since the resort fee includes internet. The gift bag idea is fun, especially since there's a wide variety of items you can use. Overall, a much better stay than last time, and I would return. April 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by OzFamilyof7 Sheraton Hotel mostly enjoyable Our stay at the Sheraton was mostly enjoyable but we found that staff weren't on the same page with advice and instructions. Several times we were given conflicting information by different staff and it was a little annoying especially when it cost us more than what was anticipated.But overall the majority of staff were great especially Gerrom (activities) and Sharon (pool staff). As far as being in the heart of town it was great location. Because we had young children with us it was great location for the beach. July 7, 2014

Jimmy Page is reprinting his autobiography with over 600 photos. The book, titled Jimmy Page, was released in a limited edition of 2,500 copies in 2010, retailing for about $700. The updated edition looks to be more affordable and accessible.
"I've been asked on a number of occasions to do a written book and I thought of the other side of the coin," Page told Guitar World. "I thought it would be unique to have an autobiography in photographs, charting my whole musical journey."
I wanted to make it as thorough as possible, so that meant trawling through all the thousands of files that photographers had taken, and pulling from my personal collection as well. It was important to include every milestone along the way, so people who were fans of the music have got a real testament of the times."
Jimmy Page will be released by Genesis Publications.

|Patent application number
|System and Method for Utilizing Motion Fields to Predict Evolution in Dynamic Scenes - Described herein are methods, systems, apparatuses and products for utilizing motion fields to predict evolution in dynamic scenes. One aspect provides for accessing active object position data including positioning information of a plurality of individual active objects; extracting a plurality of individual active object motions from the active object position data; constructing a motion field using the plurality of individual active object motions; and using the motion field to predict one or more points of convergence at one or more spatial locations that active objects are proceeding towards at a future point in time. Other embodiments are disclosed.
|Methods and Systems for Processing a Video for Stabilization and Retargeting - Methods and systems for processing a video for stabilization and retargeting are described. A recorded video may be stabilized by removing shake introduced in the video, and a video may be retargeted by modifying the video to fit to a different aspect ratio. Constraints can be imposed that require a modified video to contain pixels from the original video and/or to preserve salient regions. In one example, a video may be processed to estimate an original path of a camera that recorded the video, to estimate a new camera path, and to recast the video from the original path to the new camera path. To estimate a new camera path, a virtual crop window can be designated. A difference transformation between the original and new camera path can be applied to the video using the crop window to recast the recorded video from the smooth camera path.
|Methods and Systems for Processing a Video for Stabilization Using Dynamic Crop - Methods and systems for processing a video for stabilization are described. A recorded video may be stabilized by removing at least a portion of shake introduced in the video. An original camera path for a camera used to record the video may be determined. A crop window size may be selected and a crop window transform may accordingly be determined. The crop window transform may describe a transform of the original camera path to a modified camera path that is smoother than the original camera path. A smoothness metric indicative of a degree of smoothness of the modified path may be determined. Based on a comparison of the smoothness metric to a predetermined threshold, for example, the crop window transform may be applied to the original video to obtain a stabilized modified video.
|Methods and Systems for Video Retargeting Using Motion Saliency - Methods and systems for video retargeting and view selection using motion saliency are described. Salient features in multiple videos may be extracted. Each video may be retargeted by modifying the video to preserve the salient features. A crop path may be estimated and applied to a video to retarget each video and generate a modified video preserving the salient features. An action score may be assigned to portions or frames of each modified video to represent motion content in the modified video. Selecting a view from one of the given modified videos may be formulated as an optimization subject to constraints. An objective function for the optimization may include maximizing the action score. This optimization may also be subject to constraints to take into consideration optimal transitioning from a view from a given video to another view from another given video, for example.
|Methods and Systems for Removal of Rolling Shutter Effects - Methods and systems for rolling shutter removal are described. A computing device may be configured to determine, in a frame of a video, distinguishable features. The frame may include sets of pixels captured asynchronously. The computing device may be configured to determine for a pixel representing a feature in the frame, a corresponding pixel representing the feature in a consecutive frame; and determine, for a set of pixels including the pixel in the frame, a projective transform that may represent motion of the camera. The computing device may be configured to determine, for the set of pixels in the frame, a mixture transform based on a combination of the projective transform and respective projective transforms determined for other sets of pixels. Accordingly, the computing device may be configured to estimate a motion path of the camera to account for distortion associated with the asynchronous capturing of the sets of pixels.
|SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GROUPING RELATED PHOTOGRAPHS - A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for interacting with images having similar content. In an embodiment, a method may include identifying a plurality of photographs as including a common characteristic. The method may also include generating a flipbook media item including the plurality of photographs. The method may further include associating one or more interactive control features with the flipbook media item.
|CASCADED CAMERA MOTION ESTIMATION, ROLLING SHUTTER DETECTION, AND CAMERA SHAKE DETECTION FOR VIDEO STABILIZATION - An easy-to-use online video stabilization system and methods for its use are described. Videos are stabilized after capture, and therefore the stabilization works on all forms of video footage including both legacy video and freshly captured video. In one implementation, the video stabilization system is fully automatic, requiring no input or parameter settings by the user other than the video itself. The video stabilization system uses a cascaded motion model to choose the correction that is applied to different frames of a video. In various implementations, the video stabilization system is capable of detecting and correcting high frequency jitter artifacts, low frequency shake artifacts, rolling shutter artifacts, significant foreground motion, poor lighting, scene cuts, and both long and short videos.
|METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSING A VIDEO FOR STABILIZATION USING DYNAMIC CROP - Methods and systems for processing a video for stabilization are described. A recorded video may be stabilized by removing at least a portion of shake introduced in the video. An original camera path for a camera used to record the video may be determined. A crop window size may be selected, a crop window transform may accordingly be determined, and the crop window transform may be applied to the original video to provide a modified video from a viewpoint of the modified motion camera path.

Governor Inslee says no more excuses on education fundingon January 29, 2014 @ 9:37 am (Updated: 10:18 am - 1/29/14 )
The State Supreme Court recently told elected leaders that the state must move faster toward fulfilling its paramount constitutional duty. The high court has set a deadline of 2018.
The Governor would end certain tax breaks to raise $200 million this session.
"On top of the nearly $1 billion we put in schools last year, this proposal makes another down payment on our commitment to fully fund basic education," Inslee told reporters Tuesday.
Inslee said he wants to close or ammend seven tax breaks, all proposals he made last year. Among the exemptions he would close:
A sales tax exemption for trade-ins valued at more than $10,000.
A public utility tax deduction for interstate transportation.
A tax exemption on extracted fuel.
A refund of sales tax to nonresidents.
A sales tax exemption for bottled water.
A sales tax exemption for janitorial services.
A special business tax rate for resellers of prescription drugs.
The state, said Inslee, allows hundreds of exemptions. Some, he concedes, have value.
"Others are simply not as high a priority to the people of the state of Washington as providing adequate funding for our schools, our paramount duty," said Inslee.
Inslee would spend some of the money on a 1.3 percent pay hike for teachers and other school staff. The rest, he'd spend in the classroom on textbooks, computers and curriculum updates.
"I'm proposing an increase of $119 per student, which means the state will invest $130 million more directly to school districts in the 2014-15 school year," he explained.
Redmond's Andy Hill, chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee told the AP that Republicans would look at the governor's proposal but noted that tax exemptions are difficult to close, "especially in a short session." It's also an election year.
"I believe very deeply, and I've been through 14-15 election cycles, that it is a winning issue for a candidate to face his public and say: 'I stood up for funding for our schools and our kids,'" Inslee argued.
State Schools Superintendent Randy Dorn recently proposed increases in the sales tax and property tax to fund basic education.
This is what needs to happen, said Dorn "If you want a 21st century quality education system and if you want to follow the constitution of the state."
Representative Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, has introduced a bill to mandate smaller class sizes.
"We can't wait any longer, the time is now to find the funding to reduce class sizes throughout our public schools."
Sen. Hill said it takes time to find consensus on funding an education shortfall, estimated at $5 billion. Inslee said lawmakers cannot kick the can down the road this session and still meet the high court's 2018 deadline.
"In my talks with them, I have told them exactly what I've told you in the public, that if we don't take this step this year, we will be falling behind the pace we need to maintain to get to that $5 billion mark," emphasized Inslee.
Tim Haeck is a news reporter with KIRO Radio. While Tim is one of our go-to, no-nonsense reporters, he also has a sensationally dry sense of humor and it will surprise some to learn he is a weekend warrior.

The Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is an excellent malware diagnostic/repair tool.
It identifies malware problems, and provides the means to repair those by using scripts unique to the tool.
FRST works equally well in normal or safe mode, and where a machine has boot-up or unique problems, it works in the Windows Recovery Environment as well. It's ability to work in the Recovery Environment makes it particularly useful in dealing with difficult situations.
It is not only used in the USA, but also in many countries world wide.
Must say that it ranks very high in the malware removal community for its usefulness as a diagnostic/repair instrument.

The report's data comes courtesy of Speak Up 2011, Project Tomorrow's annual survey of participating educators, parents, and kids. This year, the organization also found a growing number of administrators (27 percent) exploring the idea of letting students use mobile devices in school, and 62 percent of parents said they would buy their child a mobile device if it would be used for academic purposes.
"Many parents, teachers and administrators are now mobile device users themselves, which has increased their appreciation and understanding for how these devices can support and enhance learning," said Julie Evans, chief executive officer of Project Tomorrow in a statement. "We found nearly 90 percent of parents say that the effective implementation of technology in instruction will positively impact their child's future. This growing understanding has allowed for an increase in the development of personalized education and a more sophisticated use of technology both in and outside of the classroom."
The report, titled Learning in the 21st Century: Mobile Devices + Social Media = Personalized Learning, was released at the recent iNACOL Virtual School Symposium in New Orleans.
Previously, results from the same Speak Up survey revealed that while only 10 percent of Americans have tablets, more than half of principals and administrators who responded to the survey use these tools. Furthermore, the findings indicated that district administrators who are mobile users themselves are twice as likely to be piloting or evaluating a BYOD program than other administrators.
The 2011 online survey was completed by more than 416,000 K-12 students, parents, teachers, librarians, and administrators. Information about the 2012 survey is available online.

Book Soup is Being Bought by Vromans
You'd think Wal-Mart or McDonalds or Haliburton were buying the iconic West Hollywood indie book store Book Soup by the tone of Hugo Martin's piece in LAT:
Tyson Cornell, Book Soup's general manager, declined to comment on the impending sale. But like most of his customers, he worried that a new owner would change the atmosphere and guiding principles of the store.
The store is special, Cornell said Sunday, because of its unique selection of books and its knowledgeable staff, composed mostly of aspiring authors and screenwriters.
"I'm very concerned that things will change," he added.
Shocker, people who work at a book store don't want things to change.
We like Vromans. We're happy Book Soup isn't been turned into an organic tattoo parlor or something. A locally grown, whole grain, doggy day care or teeth whitening acting school…oh it could be MUCH worse.

I've been doing a lot of blogging lately because I'm lonely. In November and December I kept myself company by watching dozens of the Dr. Who episodes available on cable TV to mark the fiftieth anniversary. Even viewing the horribly miscast C. Eccleston was better than being alone in a silent room. I lost my best friend and lover four months ago, but I foolishly allowed myself to hope that he'd come back. It's only in the last week that I've been forced to face the reality and deal with the pain of both the abandonment and the loss. And there's no Dr. Who to help me now.
Even cuter azz
Here there be breasts. Continue reading
Rare gacha guilt
As if I didn't have enough neuroses to enjoy, I now feel bad about winning rare gacha prizes that other players would enjoy more than I do. I paid a visit to the Winter Is Coming fantasy gacha event and won a bunch of duds. Against my better judgment, I went back the next day because I really wanted a rare Luas outfit, even though my av is not good with loin-cloths. Immediately I won the outfit and two other rares, one of which is an "ultrarare" complicated combat-ready double-fangled bow from GTS (that is not transferable). This weapon is meant for battle, and I am certain that I have no need to kill or even wound avs in SL. (In fact, I am such a pacifist that I no longer speculate angrily on the tiny size of griefers' dicks.) What follows is safe neither for work nor for the Thanksgiving table. That's because there's nudity, which is ostensibly more objectionable than weapons or challenges to idiots' manhood.
Real chilly
Suddenly I'm cold. So I dressed my doll in the fetching Fowler boots from Beetlebones and a surprisingly sexy vest and blouse combo from Potcha. Anorak poses in a mildly haunted house at the Lovecraft Festival, which is collecting donations for the Autism National Committee. There is shopping to be done, but damned if I could find any clearly marked donation items. I encountered the same problem earlier in the week at the Dreams Way event for people who suffer from autism and asperger's. There are supposed to be donation items from dozens of haute couture designers, but the absence of signage left me wondering if I was interpreting the spatial arrangement correctly. An arrow, an X, a flower, a heart, a big ole stink eye. Any identifying marker would help us all.
Hair from Chemistry, BOOM's steampunk choker and Glam Affair's Elvi in Jamaica make a casual look a little more sophisticated.

The lust fairy
I finally decided that I could summon up the energy to work with Slink's mesh feet. The price was not burdensome. Either because they were not as expensive as I thought they would be, or because I was in the midst of one of my recent shopper's revenge sprees against SSA. (I thought SSA would knock me off the grid. That's a scenario we will have to revisit. Suffice to say that I decided to spend more lindens as my ship sank. It may have been magical thinking or simple commodity fetishism. But I digress from sufficing.) My first pair of Slinked-up shoes were deep platforms, a poor choice. I followed the creator's mysterious instructions to set "hove" ("height," I assumed) at 51, but still found the shoes half-sunk into the cement. They did rise as Portia shrank, but I was not about to make my av a dwarf for a pair of shoes. (I'm just not reverse-vain that way.) Neither of my usual tricks—increased ground offset or editing of the foot layer—helped. So I got creative and searched my inventory for poses for ghosts, swimmers and fairies. Ta-da: a pose by tea.s called "the lust fairy" solved the problem. I hate deceptive pics, however. As a consequence, you've been made to read through this full disclosure. Be sure to check out the fine print as well. If you can see it.

I GIMPed that portrait because I could.
Sopha Portal of My UglyDorothy has just released a double whammy of skins for The Seraphim Social. The skins are inspired by a character in City of Bones, which I have neither read nor viewed. Half of the makeups are pretty and half of them are other-than-pretty. (Aw hell, call 'em goth.) UPDATED A pack contains one of each kind with teeth and teeth-free versions. Appliers for SLink hands and feet are sold separately.
This would be the other-than-pretty style of skin. The necklace is colour, size and shine change from Zibska for this month's round of The Gallery Gift Shop. The set comes with matching earrings. Please note that neither the skin nor the jewels is guaranteed to make your av look creepy and insane.

Better dressing with mesh
I've been waiting to see what mesh could do for art deco dresses in SL. Let's face it, prim panels stuck on the hips of an av in a tight system layer dress do not successfully simulate 20s tunics or the slinky siren dresses of the 1930s. Check out this month's Genre for Senzafine's mesh gown—shown here in black and also available in brown—and for a couple of mesh takes on shorter dresses. Genre is also offering gorgeous Art Deco jewels.
Honestly, I tried to add smoke to that cigarette but all the brushes I have just add digital line drawings where smoke should be. Portia's Essences skin is one of the Noodles gacha skins at The Chapter Four.
If you're curious what mesh can do for traditional Japanese clothing, which has also long suffered from awkward prim skirts and sleeves, check out the Yukata Festival, which runs to the end of the month at the Kyoto Bakumatsu sim. Most of the creators have demos, and you'll be excited to discover that there's quite a variety of mesh yukata templates, some of them better than others. I was tempted most by the ones from Sakka's Studio. Portia's yukata from Nonko is actually a Lucky Board win. There are quite a few boards at the festival, so you can kit yourself out for free. And if you're not patient enough for LBs but are strapped for cash, you should check out the 77L offerings at the scary Tanabata mystery thing.
There's nothing quite like Nonko prints. This one combines snails and mushrooms (I think they're mushrooms) with images from Alice in Wonderland. The obi is covered in cats. And there's a cat-face fascinator for those of you who have run out of creepy mask accessories. Gotta love Contraption in a feminine mood.

Digit to digit
This year, Portia bought herself a pair of boobs. Other parts of her body blew up to balance out those babies. Bazooms met brimming belly, broader butt and bigger bags. She thought it best to add a bouffant.
I change Portia's body to suit specific garments. I want her wearing the clothes and not vice versa. I've been forced to fashion a couple of big-brained versions of Portia so that she can wear the oversized immovable mesh hair that creators like to make. These "fatheads", as I call them, are wretched compromises on the original design, so I love lines like Magika and Lelutka, which do S, M and L sizes of mesh hair. I was happy to mod Portia's face quite a bit to work with Sweety, a skin I love from MiaSnow. Sweety P. has a giant nose by SL standards. I secretly enjoy shooting it at a slightly unflattering angle. I also have a tall, skinny, big-lipped version of Portia. She insists on being addressed as Ms. Capelo and models only the couture of Aliza Karu.

Snow King Fourth of July Fireworks in Jackson HoleJuly 5, 2011
10 Flares 10 Flares ×
With my 5D still out, I wasn't able to get the fireworks shots I was expecting since I was without a full-frame camera. I made the best of it though and headed over to the Snow King Ski Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming to watch their annual Fourth of July fireworks show with my 7D.
Realizing early on that I wouldn't be able to capture the full show, I made the best of the position I was in and looked for opportunities where fireworks both high and low were illuminating the mountain to give a sense of the landscape. I was shooting on bulb mode so that I could choose how long of an exposure to do depending on how many explosions were going on at the time. Too many recorded and they'd all just be blown out. Too few and there wouldn't be much of a landscape. This particular shot was actually 22 seconds, so obviously there weren't too many big explosions going on during that time. I kept my aperture at f/8 and while I tried to keep my ISO low, I found 320 to be a good fit.
Once my settings were tested on a few opening shots, it was just a matter of sitting back and enjoying the show with a shutter release cable in my hand. That way I could actually enjoy the show while still clicking away.

After 54 years with the BDN, Tom Hennessey is marking the official end of his career, which began in 1959 as an apprentice printer.
We will miss Tom's regular visits to the newsroom to ensure his art was properly scanned, that his column had successfully arrived to our computers through the "interwebs," and often to give us his latest, matter-of-fact thoughts on the news story of the day.
Please enjoy this look at some of Tom's work, which we've all had the pleasure of enjoying over the years. We wish him the best as he enjoys his retirement, which I anticipate will be filled with family, fishing, hunting and plenty of time in the great Maine outdoors.
