Gilbert: Take me out to a ballgame
To the truly devoted fan of sports, this time of year is nirvana. We have burst out of the cold dark bubble of winter and are now in the radiant heaven of sport-a-rama. We have just completed that king of college and university basketball programs, the Women's and Men's NCAA Championships. Simultaneously, the NBA teams are playing ferociously to secure their places for the playoffs and eventual NBA Championship.
The strike-compressed NBA season has resulted in a fast and furious schedule of games and travel, making the process like a one hundred-yard dash instead of a more leisurely marathon.
Even the quiet and dignified game of golf is in the midst of the major championships on its schedule.
Tiger finally prowled to win one major, but fell beneath the weight of the mighty Masters which he has won four times in the past. All this makes for tantalizing television.
Now Major League Baseball is making noises with new owners for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fans are thrilled that basketball great Magic Johnson is among the new owners. Hopefully, he can work some magic to return fun and respectability to a game that has suffered in recent years.
The Texas Rangers have thrown out the season's first pitch with memories of that unforgettable Nolan Ryan exhibition of head-knocking when his young opponent charged the mound. It is said that crowds still cheer today when the clip is shown at the ballpark with Ryan in the owner's box! All this simply revs us up for the inevitable run for the World Series.
This year the Rangers organization earned another notch of approval in my book. At the opening game, a larger-than-life bronze statue was unveiled at the area behind the home plate entry.
If you are a true fan of baseball, you will remember the heart-wrenching fatal tradgedy of the father who was reaching out over the railing trying to catch a hit ball for his young son who was with him at the game. In a moment that grabbed every family — fan or not — a father and son were ripped apart. Unbelievable. Unthinkable. Unimaginable.
But now in a beautiful tribute not only to that father and son, but also to every parent and child stands a beautiful likeness of father and son enjoying baseball together.
Underlying all these high-profile games of basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, just to name a few, are hometown games across the country involving tots to teens.
Boys and girls are busily putting on their gear just like the pros for their sport of choice. Moms and dads are hauling lawn chairs and ice chests to fields of dreams to support their budding athletes.
It is at this point we reach a dichotomy in our love for sports: we really, really want to win yet we want to teach our kids that it is not whether they "win or lose, but how they play the game." And that will continue. I simply hope we can somehow intertwine the two.
Now a couple of moments of personal privilege here, please. Being a graduate of Baylor University "we're the best you'll ever see, we're the Class of '63!" That is 19-63. I am very proud of the women's basketball team and their coaches, even though they are the NCAA Champs, they encountered lots of obstacles along the way. Not that being 6' 8" is an obstacle, but in a strange way it is. Being the frontrunner all season without losing a single game is not necessarily an obstacle, but in a strange way, it is. So thanks for adding honor to that good old Baylor line.
And finally, how good is it to see the Nick Gholson byline on some articles in the past few days just as Spring and baseball are bursting into new seasons of life.

Hot Yoga With JoeRead MoreCaring for oneself is a necessary part of caring for others, according to Joe Sparks, the former triathlete who helms Hot Yoga With Joe. To encourage others to devote more time to their health and loved ones, he and his staff of certified instructors fill fitness classes with both fun and restorative relaxation. Joe channels more than 15 years of teaching experience to lead hot-yoga workouts featuring gentle yet powerful poses that aim to forge cast-iron muscles capable of hurling a paper airplane into orbit. The 95- to 100-degree temperatures unspool tight ligaments and encourage sweat glands to flush toxins out of the nearest pore. In addition to yoga, the studio offers kettlebell and POSE running classes to help clients increase strength and stamina. New students can prepare for their first sessions by visiting the website for additional information.29101 Hufford Rd.Perrysburg, OH US
Funny Bone Comedy Club ToledoRead MoreIt started when Gerald Kubach became enamored with standup comedy. Looking to invest in the humor business, he and cofounder Mitch Kutash opened the very first Funny Bone Comedy Club in Pittsburg in 1982. Over 25 years later, the little club that could has turned into a national comedy institution, with branches in nearly every metropolitan city. While household names such as Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carey, Roseanne Barr, and Tim Allen have cut their teeth on the clubs' stages, The Funny Bone continues to offer the first big breaks to up-and-coming local talent.6140 Levis Commons Blvd.Perrysburg, OH US
Dimensions of DarknessRead MoreThe entry door slams shut, and you immediately plunge into a world of terror and macabre. Skeletons hang from a dungeon's walls, maniacal clowns run through a fun house, and a blood-spattered bathroom horrifyingly runs out of soap. This is Dimensions of Darkness, a haunted walk-through that takes brave souls across a maze of terrifying rooms with even more terrifying inhabitants. The fright fest has caught the attention of USA Today and the Toledo Free Press, which noted that "each room, hallway and prop is so well-crafted that if you're not being stalked by one of the resident ghouls, your focus is on how real everything feels." Thoroughly immersed in their roles, live actors pop out at guests, thus filling every room with an orchestra of screams. Meanwhile, fog creeps over the floors and creepy sounds build tension between every scare. But despite this terror, visitors are never trapped. Security officers, each thoroughly vaccinated against zombies, stand ready to lead guests to the nearest exit should they wish to depart early.2523 Parkway PlazaMaumee, OH US
Field of Dreams Drive-In TheaterRead MoreField of Dreams Drive-In Theater offers communal, car-friendly film gazing as well as prefeature entertainment. At the Liberty Center location, around 250 vehicles sidle up next to each other to take in double features rain or shine, and the newly renovated Tiffin location can accommodate up to 500 sedans, stretch station wagons, and highway-ready riding lawnmowers. The flickering glow of Hollywood blockbusters joins forces with the twinkling stars overhead to illuminate clear, cloudless nights, helping to direct hungry movie goers to and from the full-service concession stand, and light the way for made-to-order pizzas delivered straight to each car's drivers side door. In addition to its first-run films, Field of Dreams features free, family-friendly games including corn hole toss, ladder golf, and putt-putt golf. Four-legged family members can also watch from the safety of a leash or their very own car seat, and portable coolers and grills are permitted on the grounds with the purchase of a $4 outside-food permit.V602 Township Rd. 6Liberty Center, OH US
Live Nation NationalRead MoreHershey Theatre The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.2 Hippo WayToledo, OH US

of Significance
|1915-(social) 1915 (historical, fabric)
|Criterion A
|War Memorials are important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history as they are representative of a recurrent theme that involved most communities throughout the state. They provide evidence of an era of widespread Australian patriotism and nationalism, particularly during and following the First World War. The monuments manifest a unique documentary record and are demonstrative of popular taste in the inter-war period.
|Criterion B
|It is of particular significance as the first known memorial to the First World War, as well as being one of the few memorials dedicated to a single person and erected in a cemetery.
|Criterion D
|The monuments manifest a unique documentary record and are demonstrative of popular taste in the inter-war period. Erected in 1915, the war memorial at Nobby demonstrates the principal characteristics of a commemorative structure erected as an enduring record of a major historical event. This is achieved through the use of appropriate materials and design elements.
|Criterion E
|The memorial in its cemetery setting is of aesthetic significance for its landmark qualities.
|Criterion G
|It has a strong and continuing association with the community as evidence of the impact of a major historic event and as the focal point for the remembrance of that event.
|Criterion H
|It also has special association with the masonry firm of Bruce Brothers as an example of their workmanship.
|The Victor Denton War Memorial at Nobby was erected in 1915 and was made by Bruce Brothers, monumental masons of Toowoomba. Funds for the memorial were raised by local residents of the district, making it an uncommon example of a public memorial erected in a cemetery. The memorial honours Private Victor Denton who was killed at the Dardenelles on 16 June 1915 and is the first known memorial of the First World War erected in Queensland. The town of Nobby is located on the Darling Downs. The first white settlers arrived on the Downs in search of rich grazing land and by the 1840s, led by the Leslie brothers and John Campbell had established over twenty stations. These stations prospered until their expansion was curbed due to the pressures of selection legislation and land was resumed for agricultural use. The area, which had previously been a primary producer of wool, diversified into wheat and dairy farming. By the 1920s, wheat had become the primary crop with State experimental farms providing the area with superior varieties of wheat. Australia, and Queensland in particular, had few civic monuments before the First World War. The memorials erected in its wake became our first national monuments, recording the devastating impact of the war on a young nation. Australia lost 60 000 from a population of about 4 million, representing one in five of those who served. No previous or subsequent war has made such an impact on the nation. Even before the end of the war, memorials became a spontaneous and highly visible expression of national grief. To those who erected them, they were as sacred as grave sites, substitute graves for the Australians whose bodies lay in battlefield cemeteries in Europe and the Middle East. British policy decreed that the Empire war dead were to be buried where they fell. The word 'cenotaph', commonly applied to war memorials at the time, literally means 'empty tomb'. Australian war memorials are distinctive in that they commemorate not only the dead. Australians were proud that their first great national army, unlike other belligerent armies, was composed entirely of volunteers, men worthy of honour whether or not they paid the supreme sacrifice. Many memorials honour all who served from a locality, not just the dead, providing valuable evidence of community involvement in the war. Such evidence is not readily obtainable from military records, or from state or national listings, where names are categorised alphabetically or by military unit. Australian war memorials are also valuable evidence of imperial and national loyalties, at the time, not seen as conflicting; the skills of local stonemasons, metalworkers and architects; and of popular taste. In Queensland, the soldier statue was the popular choice of memorial, whereas the obelisk predominated in the southern states, possibly a reflection of Queensland's larger working-class population and a lesser involvement of architects. Many of the First World War monuments have been updated to record local involvement in later conflicts, and some have fallen victim to unsympathetic re-location and repair. There were many different types of memorials in Queensland, however the broken column was more commonly used as a funereal monument, symbolic of life cut short. When the erection of memorials became prolific in Queensland, it was unusual for them to be located in graveyards, as this one is. They were more likely to be erected in more publicly accessible places such as gardens or intersections.
|The First World War Memorial is situated in a cemetery located away from the town centre. The cemetery is on a sloping site in a sparsely treed landscape, making it a dominant local landmark. The concrete and stone memorial is located within the Denton family plot alongside the grave of Victor Denton's parents. The plot is surrounded by a low fence comprising concrete tapered plinths which are joined by a steel rod. The elevated surface is laid with octagonal pavers. The memorial itself sits on a base which is square in plan with a chamfered top edge. From this projects a short pedestal, also with a chamfered top edge. The front face has a marble plaque with an inscription in memory of Victor Denton in cut and blackened lettering. The pedestal is surmounted by a broken column with a simply moulded base.

My New Home: Couple determined to stay in cozy Bridgetown, Miss., find house suited to changing needs
The tiny community of Bridgetown, Miss., is one of those places where everybody really does know everybody else's name. Just outside Hernando, Bridgetown holds a yearly Easter egg hunt, a July 4 celebration and an Oktoberfest for the residents of its 650 or so homes.
So when longtime residents Steve and Deb Powell realized they needed to find a new house -- one that would allow them to care for Deb's mother in her elderly years -- they were determined not to move far.
"The thing that attracted us at first was the lakes," said Deb, a retired computer programmer and teacher. "And it was not cookie-cutter. We loved that the houses were different and the area was very pretty. We found out all the other pluses after we moved in, about the neighborhood and the activities. That's why we thought we had to find something else here."
The Powells absolutely loved their former home, but it had two stories, and to accommodate Deb's mom the family needed a house with all rooms on one level. While volunteering at the community center, Deb mentioned her situation to another Bridgetown resident, Tracy McNeil.
McNeil replied, "I can help you there."
Turned out, McNeil was a Realtor with Crye-Leike's Olive Branch office. She offered to help the Powells sell their home and find another Bridgetown house that would meet their family's new set of needs.
Since the Powells were focused on a very small geographic area, the search didn't take long. And luckily, neither did the sale of their former house.
"Tracy said the whole key to it is showing it the best you can and pricing it right," Deb said. "We turned that over to her. We listed it around the 15th of October and we sold it in 45 days."
By then, the Powells had their eye on a one-story house no more than two blocks away from their beloved former home. The new house had an unexpected, and highly welcome, perk: It was on a lakeside lot.
"But there was another thing we had to consider with my mother living with us," Deb said. "We wanted to be sure she had a fairly large-size bedroom, and in a lot of homes the second and third bedrooms are very small. We also wanted a bath, if not in her room, very close to her room."
The Powells crossed their fingers and hoped for the best when McNeil took them to view the house. As it turned out, it was meant to be.
"The second bedroom was pretty good sized, and there was a bath right outside her room," Deb said.
The house also had a big master bedroom, an oversized garage with a work area for Steve and plenty of storage space. But by far, the property's biggest selling feature was the screened-in back porch with a sweeping view of the lake.
"I kept saying it had everything we needed and we weren't even looking for the lake, but we were so tickled it was on the lake," Deb said. "It just made it super nice."
The Powells purchased the three-bedroom, 21/2 -bath, 2,200-square-foot house in early January for $175,000.
In the foyer, an antique organ passed down through generations of Deb's family creates a unique focal point. To the left of the foyer, a spacious living room has high vaulted ceilings topped by one central beam stained the same deep brown as the rest of the trim. The fireplace's brick surround extends to the ceiling.
The Powells turned what would have been a formal dining room into Steve's office/man cave. The room is lined with bookshelves filled not just with books, but with Steve's collection of nearly 1,300 DVDs. Two tables serve as his desk and are situated under a window, in view of the lake.
In the kitchen, which has dark wood cabinets and stainless-steel appliances, an eat-in area contains a round table and four chairs. A back door leads to the screened porch, which has space for a second eating area.
The Powells haven't made many changes to the house, though they plan to eventually add tile flooring in the kitchen and hardwood in the living areas. They also plan to update the master bath, but they're in no rush.
"There was nothing wrong with this house," said Steve, who retired in 2002 as Hernando's postmaster. "Just cosmetic things, and that comes with any house. When people live in a house for 30 years, that's what happens. It was a well-kept house."
The one project the Powells did complete right away was an update of Deb's mother's bathroom.
"The only thing in it was a tub," Deb said. "We put a shower in for her. We have some things left to do, but the room had a walk-in closet for her, so she felt like she wasn't losing any of the things she had in the previous house. And the master bedroom is plenty big for us and we still have a guest bedroom."
For Deb, who grew up in Memphis, and Steve, who was born in Ohio and moved to Florida at 16, Bridgetown has become not only home, but the family homestead. Along with Deb's mom, both of Deb's sisters have also bought homes in Bridgetown since Steve and Deb moved to the community.
"We're just really happy here," Deb said. "We've all decided this is our last move. You never say never, but I can't imagine anything else we'd want."
"This has got everything we need," added Steve. "Everything we were looking for."
The couple has only one complaint about their new Bridgetown home.
"This porch makes it hard to get anything done," Deb said, laughing. "We're always out here."

Just this morning, Kaitlin Solimine (whom I was lucky enough to meet in Lisbon this past summer), launched HIPPO Reads, an intriguing new project:
HIPPO Reads is a literary startup focused on curating and delivering high quality, previously published content with an academic bent.
Think of us as TED Talks for readers – short pithy pieces with educational appeal, a perpetual reading list for the most interesting classes out there. All pieces are accessible, but we don't dumb it down. We select content with a level of depth that allows readers to sink their teeth into the subject at hand.
The first weekly reading list is all about the science and politics of interrogation:
In a poorly-lit room, a half naked man is being stuffed into a small plywood box. The interrogator, a disheveled PhD student, barks, "You lie to me, I hurt you."
So begins the film Zero Dark Thirty, and with it, the debate about director Kathryn Bigelow's jarring depictions of torture. But how did we get here?
In this inaugural edition of HIPPO Reads, we bring you four pieces, each a lens through which to examine "enhanced interrogation." Taken together they paint a nuanced landscape against which the torture question is defined.
The first two pieces they recommend are "The Dark Art of Interrogation" by Mark Bowden and "Do You Suffer from Decision Fatigue?" by John Tierney. Both of which sound interesting, although the last two really caught my eye:
As additional reading, there's another piece of the puzzle, a fascinating study on the ability of humans to determine whether others are lying. It turns out normal people can tell a lie roughly 53% of the time, a track record slightly better than a coin toss. For those formally trained in lie detection, accuracy actually declines while confidence in their abilities increases. That's why, as Techniques and Controversies in the Interrogation of Suspects argues, when an interrogator begins with a presumption of guilt, he will often find evidence to back that up. Coupled with intensive interrogation, this can – and has – led to false confessions, even without the presence of torture.
The last selection to round out our week is a creative piece – translated from the Arabic, an excerpt from the book Biography of Ash by Khadija Marouazi, a human rights activist and professor of modern literature in Morocco. In her depictions of a man undergoing torture, what resonates is the impact his revelations have upon interrogators.
They also have a short list of "Further Reading" that includes Elias Khoury's Yalo (which was on the BTBA shortlist in 2009) and Dorothea Dieckmann's Guantanamo which won the inaugural BTBA award. (Thanks in part to Richard Nash getting all Soft Skull fans to game the system—something that I appreciate to this day. Go, Richard! Go, readers!)
Anyway, I'm interested to see how HIPPO Reads evolves over the next few months. It's a cool idea—providing a sort of in-depth primer on a particular subject—and I'm really impressed by how international this first entry is. Congrats to Kaitlin!

Popular 1884 "Holey" Cent Pattern1884 1C One Cent, Judd-1721, Pollock-1929, R.6, PR66 NGC. Eastman Johnson's "holey" design for the cent with the center perforated with an irregular circumference. These experimental pieces were intended to make small denomination coinage easier to distinguish by the blind, and thereby to "remedy the inconvenience of similarity in our small coin." The obverse bears the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA about the upper rim and the date at the bottom. The reverse shows the denomination ONE CENT at the top with an inverted shield and two laurel sprigs below. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Although struck in 1884, this design dates back to the 1870s. Approximately two dozen of these pieces are known today in nickel, and the holes are slightly irregular on all we have seen, suggesting they were hand-cut. This is a lovely, bright, lustrous example that is still mostly brilliant still. One tiny green spot is detected at the reverse border at 3 o'clock.(#62150) (PCGS# 62150)

Kentucky Fire Cured Kyotos
5 1/2 x 34 - Maduro - Single
Kentucky Fire Cured Cigars are a brand extension to the wildly popular My Uzi Weighs a Ton line by Drew Estate. This is a full re-imagining of cigars as we know it. Each cigar uses American fire-cured tobaccos from Virginia and Kentucky that is typically used for both dry and wet snuff, and cured over hickory, maple, and oak logs for a smoky flavor that gives a whole new flavor profile to the industry. Get these unbelievably unique cigars today!
I can t get enough of these! This size is by far my favorite. It delivers an over load of the KFC tobacco and pairs perfectly with any burbon
This cigar exudes old-timey southern charm. An intense smokey scent is present before lighting. The wrapper leaf is thick and sturdy. I found that the draw was pleasant, which is sometimes not the case with thin-gauge sticks like this. The cigar s taste was DIFFERENT. It was tasty. There were no off-flavors of varnish, ashy smoke or tar. In fact, the cigar didn't have any unpleasant flavor until the very end last 1/6th Burn line: sharp, no re-lights Ash: medium gray, firm Time: About 1/2 hour

Your first time at the gym can be intimidating, but these tips can help make the transition easier!
Gyms can be intimidating if you have never been to one before, but you can make your first time experience at a gym easier by learning gym etiquette and by asking questions. Do not be afraid to approach people or talk to staff if you have any questions regarding how to use equipment or which exercises or machines are used for what type of workout. These questions can potentially help you prevent injury.
When you first start going to a gym, here are a few things you can do to make the transition easier for you.
Most gyms will offer a tour to new member, but if they do not, ask for one. Someone that works at the gym should be able to take the time to show you around and explain the facilities available. If they do not offer this to new members, take a tour before you start working out. Jot down questions to ask and make sure you find important things like the bathrooms and the water fountains before beginning your workout there.
This will be useful for jotting down questions, but it will also be handy to have so that you can record your workout. Write down things like what machine/equipment you are using, how many reps you do, how many sets and/or how long you work out on each piece of equipment. If you feel pain doing an exercise, write that down as well. If you get advice from someone on how to use a machine or perform an exercise correctly while working out, jot down that information to reference later.
If the equipment is not moving in the way that you think it should as you adjust it, do not force it. Instead, ask someone who works at the gym for help. If the staff are not easily available, you can also ask another gym member to help you. They are usually more than willing to help, but wait until they have finished completing their exercise to ask as this is normal gym etiquette.
One of the most important rules of gym etiquette is to wipe down the equipment after you use it. If equipment is not wiped down properly, it can become a breeding ground for germs. Most gyms make wet towelettes available for cleaning equipment, so make sure that you use them.
In the gym or the locker room, never leave your mess behind. Throw out empty water bottles, paper towels or wrappers from energy bars.

USAID/Omidyar funding support for Ukraine activists
Originally posted on PandoDaily:
Just hours after last weekend's ouster of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, one of Pierre Omidyar's newest hires at national security blog "The Intercept," was already digging for the truth.
Marcy Wheeler, who is the new site's "senior policy analyst," speculated that the Ukraine revolution was likely a "coup" engineered by "deep" forces on behalf of "Pax Americana":
"There's quite a bit of evidence of coup-ness. Q is how many levels deep interference from both sides is."
These are serious claims. So serious that I decided to investigate them. And what I found was shocking.
Wheeler is partly correct. Pando has confirmed that the American government – in the form of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) – played a major role in funding opposition groups prior to the revolution. Moreover, a large percentage of the rest of the funding to those same groups came from a…

- Description:
Obesity is not only a risk factor for osteoarthritis but also for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In obese RA patients, disease incidence is higher and response to treatment poorer. This paper is concerned with an evaluation of the clinical characteristics at onset and of the outcome of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in obese vs. non-obese patients.
83 patients with newly diagnosed PMR from the clinical cohort studied to obtain the ACR/EULAR criteria were studied. Weight and height were obtained and the BMI calculated. Obesity was defined as a BMI≥30 kg/m2.
The mean BMI was 26.1± 3.4, with BMI ≥ 30 found in 12 patients (14.5%). The two groups were comparable in terms of age (71.6±10.5 vs 72.6±8.1 years; p=0.53), sex (59% and 58% women, respectively; p=0.96), duration of morning stiffness (190±200 vs 206±219 minutes; p=0.42), and localization of involvement. Obese patients had a higher shoulder VAS (76.6±26.1 vs 58.8±25.5; p=0.03), global pain VAS (76.4±23.7 vs 58.7±24.9; p=0.025), PMR VAS (82.3±21.9 vs 60.6±24.3; p=0.004), fatigue VAS (71.8±28.1 vs 53.7±27.2; p=0.03), and modified HAQ (1.7±0.6 vs 1.2±0.6; p=0.005). They also showed a decreased physical component of the SF36 (31.6±6.3 vs 35.7±7.1; p=0.048).
The mean dose of prednisone was not different at treatment onset between obese (16.6±7 mg) and non-obese (15.1±5.6 mg) patients (p=0.98). At the end of follow-up, the clinical and laboratory features of both obese and non-obese patients significantly improved. However, during the first 6 months of treatment obese patients needed a higher mean daily dose of prednisone in comparison with the non obese ones (8.5±3.2 mg vs 6.2±5.2 mg; p=0.021). BMI was negatively correlated with percent improvement of PMR VAS at 6 months (Spearman r= -0.24; p=0.046), indicating that higher BMI was associated with a lower percent improvement.
Our results support the view that the burden of PMR is higher in obese vs. non obese patients. This fact may be related to the poorer quality of life seen usually in obese individuals as well as to the increased amount of cytokines produced by the adipose tissue. However, ESR and CRP were not different in the two groups of patients, although the categorical nature of these variables (normal/abnormal) may have hampered the evaluation of possible differences.
The outcome of PMR at 6 months was not different in obese vs. non-obese patients but the former needed a significantly higher cumulative dose of prednisone. The more intuitive interpretation of this finding is that prednisone dose should be adjusted to weight because of the larger volume of distribution in obese patients. Alternatively, the increased inflammation possibly associated with obesity would need more GC.
In conclusion, obesity affects both severity of symptoms and GC utilization. BMI should be considered by clinicians when interpreting symptoms of their PMR patients and deciding their GC doses.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/619,266, filed Jul. 19, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,594,373, which is hereby incorporated by reference. This application is also related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/503,831, filed Feb. 14, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,614,914, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to encoding and decoding messages in media such that changes resulting from the encoding process are imperceptible to humans yet recoverable by an automated decoding process.
Digital watermarking is a process for modifying media content to embed a machine-readable code into the data content. The data may be modified such that the embedded code is imperceptible or nearly imperceptible to the user, yet may be detected through an automated detection process. Most commonly, digital watermarking is applied to media such as images, audio signals, and video signals. However, it may also be applied to other types of data, including documents (e.g., through line, word or character shifting), software, multi-dimensional graphics models, and surface textures of objects.
Digital watermarking systems have two primary components: an encoder that embeds the watermark in the media content, and a decoder that detects and reads the embedded watermark. The encoder embeds a watermark by altering data samples of the media content. The reading component analyzes content to detect whether a watermark is present. In applications where the watermark encodes information, the reader extracts this information from the detected watermark.
The invention provides a system and related methods for encoding and decoding watermarks from media signals, including image and audio signals, using multiple carriers. A multi-carrier watermark system includes a watermark embedder and compatible decoder. The embedder encodes auxiliary information, such as a binary message, into the host media signal by modulating message signals with two or more corresponding carrier signals to form a watermark signal and embeds this signal into the host signal. A compatible watermark decoder uses the carrier signals to demodulate the message signals from the watermarked signal.
Further features of the invention will become apparent with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.
The following sections describe watermark encoders and decoders that employ multiple carriers. The encoder modulates message signals with a set of carriers and encodes the modulated messages into a media signal, such as audio, image or video signal. Using the known carrier signals, the decoder demodulates the modulated messages from a signal suspected of containing a watermark.
An encoder 106 then encodes the modulated message signals into a host signal 108 to create a watermark signal 110.
To illustrate, consider an example of a watermarking scheme for embedding an auxiliary signal into a two-dimensional host signal, such as an image.
In the example of four carriers, each carrier can be represented as a modulation function as shown in FIG. 4. In the digital domain, where continuous functions are sampled (e.g., pixels in a digital image are examples of discrete samples), the modulation functions can be represented by sample sequences as shown in FIG. 4. Because the bandwidth allotted to each carrier is equal to one-half the total bandwidth in the x and y directions, we need only one-half the spatial resolution to represent each band. Stated alternatively, each message sample for the carriers is modulated to 2 by 2 image samples. Larger or smaller bandwidth divisions will require fewer or more image samples on average, respectively.
Referring again to
In the case where the message sample values are 1 or −1, the possible waveforms for a 2 by 2 block are shown in FIG. 5. Note that these waveforms include five possible states {−2, −1, 0, 1, and 2}. The waveforms may be applied to the host signal using a variety of encoding functions, which are well documented in literature on digital watermarking.
One form of signaling that is particularly useful in watermark encoding is Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK). In this form of signaling, the watermark signal may be represented as a binary anti-podal signal consisting of two states: one and negative one.
The possible waveforms shown in
Carrier assignment may be random by position (e.g., x, y coordinates) in the host signal. Such random assignment applies if f0,n or f1,n are repeated a number of times in the image. For example, in some implementations, the message is spread over a pseudorandom number and repeated throughout the host signal. When the message samples are repeated, the instances of the same repeated message samples do not always have to be assigned to the same carrier signals.
An alternative approach is to predict the original, un-watermarked signal sample values, derive an estimate of the watermark signal values using the predicted values (e.g., subtracting the predicted from the watermarked signal), and then interpret the meaning of the estimated watermark signal using the set of possible waveforms, for example, in a look up table of sample polarities (e.g., matching the estimated watermark waveform with the set of possible watermark waveforms and selecting the closest match).
Several different types of predictive filters may be used to estimate the original, un-watermarked signal from the watermark signal. Consider a watermark application where a binary antipodal watermark signal W is scaled and then added to the host signal. In reading the watermark signal from a potentially distorted version of the watermarked signal, the objective is to reconstruct a binary antipodal signal representing the watermark signal from a potentially distorted version of the watermarked signal. An estimate of the original signal may be computed by filtering watermarked signal samples in a neighborhood around a sample of interest. One type of predictive filter is to compute an average of the pixels in the neighborhood (e.g., horizontally and vertically adjacent image samples, samples in a square neighborhood around the sample of interest, etc.). By subtracting a predicted sample value from the sample of interest, the demodulator produces a difference value with a polarity that estimates the polarity of the binary antipodal signal at that sample position.
To generalize the watermark embedder example, one can view the modulation operations as functional blocks B0 and B1 as shown in FIG. 11. The details of the modulation functions within the functional blocks can vary from one implementation to another.
In view of the properties of the multi-carrier embedder illustrated in
The resulting binary sequences include a set of chips that are mapped to locations within the host signal via a scatter pattern. In the case of an image watermark embedder employing the carrier functions depicted in
The embedder employs random carrier assignments and parity multiplier assignments for each 2 by 2 square. The carriers, parity multipliers and pseudo random sequence values are each in the form of a binary antipodal signal. As such, they may be combined into a single table that maps input message sample values to a corresponding watermark sample values in a watermark signal.
A watermark decoder compatible with this encoding scheme may be implemented as illustrated in FIG. 10 and described above. Because the message has at least two carriers, there is flexibility in the manner in which the decoder can exploit this attribute to read a message. If one message is modulated at a low frequency carrier signal (e.g., a DC carrier) and another message is modulated at one or more higher frequency carriers, the decoder can selectively read messages at each of the different carrier frequencies. In some applications, the message at the low frequency carrier may survive better. In these applications, the decoder can perform a low pass read operation to extract the message conveyed via the low frequency carrier. In particular, the decoder filters and downsamples the watermarked signal to a low resolution that still encompasses the low frequency carrier. It then demodulates the watermark message with the low frequency carrier signal. Alternatively, the low frequency carrier may be affected more by the unmarked image, so only the high frequency carriers need to be read.
To demodulate messages conveyed at each of the carriers, the decoder may employ correlation with the corresponding carrier signals. One form of correlation is to perform matched filtering with a reference signal representing the carrier signal, e.g., calculate a dot product of the carrier with the watermark signal.

Best Answer:
Yes, but you'd be surprised how many teens can figure out their parents' passwords, or know exactly where they're kept, or will look on a parent's computer to see the password that it uses to connect to the network.
You can setup Timed Access by:
After your network is already working, go back and open AirPort Utility and click "Manual Setup" for your base station. Select "AirPort" at the top and "Access Control" underneath. At "MAC Address Access Control:" set the selector to "Timed Access" and click the Add (+) button beneath the large entry box and enter the MAC address (Media Access Control, aka AirPort ID#) and (for your information) description or name of the computer, iPod Touch, or other device you're allowing to access the network.
Choose a day of the week or Everyday from the day pop-up menu, and then choose either "all day" or "between" from the other pop-up menu. If you choose "between," you can edit the times of the day by double-clicking in the time fields. You can enter begin and end times down to the minute.
Click the "Done" button and then continue to add computer MAC addresses until finished. When the list is clomplete, "Update" the Extreme's settings, but don't forget to allow your own computer, printer, iPhone, etc. to also have access "Everyday" and "all day." If you have multiple AirPort base stations, you'll need to duplicate this list for each one.
Anytime you want to, you can open AirPort Utility to the Summary to check how many clients are connected to your network.
