|Method and Transmission Unit for Adaptive Coding, Modulation and Transmittion of Data Words in a Wireless Communication System - When transmitting data from a transmission unit to a reception unit over a channel in a wireless communication system, it has been observed that there are inherent losses in throughput, especially for a channel experiencing high channel quality variations over its frequency range. To improve the throughput over such a channel, it is proposed to: estimate the quality of each subchannel of a channel, classify the subchannels into a number of quality groups based on the estimated quality, and select a code rate per quality group. This selected code rate per quality group is then used when a data word to be transmitted is coded. Simulations have shown that by grouping the subchannels into a limited number of groups, for example one to four groups depending on the channel quality variation, a high throughput could be achieved with a minimum of signaling cost in the form of extra overhead.

|IP COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND IP COMMUNICATION METHOD OF SUCH APPARATUS - An IP terminal apparatus has a SIP controller, a UDP packet controller, and an RTP controller. The SIP controller transmits and receives a call control message in order to establish a connection to and from a destination apparatus. The UDP packet controller transmits and receives media data with the destination apparatus in a media session after the connection was established. The RTP controller obtains source port number information of a media data packet that the UDP packet controller has received from the destination apparatus, and sets the obtained source port number as a destination port number for a packet to be transmitted to the destination apparatus. Thereby, a feasible range of NAT traversal can be improved in a simple and secure manner, even when at least one relay apparatuses employs symmetric NAT.
|Interval Centroid Based Watermark - An interval centroid-based watermark encoder encodes a watermark into a packet flow. Intervals are defined for the packet flow. Some of the intervals are selected as group A intervals while other intervals are selected as group B intervals. Group A and group B intervals are paired and assigned to watermark bits. A first or second value may be encoded by increasing the relative packet time between packets in either the group A (for the first bit value) or group B (for the second bit value) interval(s) of the interval pair(s) assigned to the watermark bits that are to represent the first or second bit value and the beginning of the same group interval(s). The relative packet times may be measured by a decoder and used to calculate a centroid difference for each interval pair. The centroid differences may be used to reconstruct the watermark.
|DEVICE FOR COALESCING MESSAGES AND METHOD THEREOF - A method of communicating messages between endpoints in a data processing system includes coalescing two or more messages into a single packet and communicating the packet. Each of the messages can be associated with a different communication protocol. In addition, each of the messages can be targeted for communication to a different communication port. At the destination endpoint, the packet is de-coalesced, whereby each message is extracted from the packet and provided to the associated port. By coalescing multiple messages into a single packet, even where the messages are associated with different communication protocols or different communication ports, packets can be formed closer to an optimum size, thereby providing for more efficient communication between endpoints.
|Method, Apparatus and System For Error Detection and Selective Retransmission - The invention relates to a method for use in a packet-switched communication system, the method comprising: sending a first packet from a source node to a destination node, the first packet containing a first set of data bits; sending a second packet from the source node to the destination node, the second packet containing a second set of data bits; wherein, in the event that the first set of data bits cannot be successfully decoded in the destination node, the second packet further comprises a first set of error correction bits for the first set of data bits.

According to the present invention, traffic to enter the network is processed at an edge node of a network, so that small data packets (subframes) are encapsulated into a large data packet (multiframe) for increasing a minimum data packet length, and the subframes are recovered from the multiframe when the traffic exits the network for reducing the burden of traffic processing in a transport network.
|METHOD FOR MANAGING A COMMUNICATION GROUP OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A first communication device managing a communication group of communication devices in a communication network is disclosed. The first communication device sends one or more data objects to the communication group and receives an affiliation request from a second communication device. The first communication device determines the one or more data objects that have not been received by a user of the second communication device and provides the data objects to the second communication device by establishing a communication session between the second communication device and the first communication device.
|NETWORK SYSTEM - When a user terminal makes a connection request, a router acquires a group address that the user terminal can join from an authentication server. The router gives information of the router to a packet during joining check (Query) and transmits the packet to a layer 2 switch. The layer 2 switch can grasp, by receiving the joining checks which group address the user terminal can join. The layer 2 switch can perform delivery control involving authentication. The layer 2 switch collects information necessary for accounting such as delivery start and end times and traffic and transmits the information to the router. The router creates accounting information on the basis of the information and transmits the accounting information to the accounting server.
|MAPPING MECHANISM FOR ACCESS NETWORK SEGREGATION - Communication nodes, systems and methods are described which provide an association between messaging and access resource and admission control functions (A-RACFs) within an IP addressing zone. The association can be communicated within messages using, for example, a topology zone identifier.

The method includes: (1) the host device sending the peripheral device a broadcast search packet through LAN, (2) the peripheral device establishing a new routing table according to the packet, (3) the peripheral device returning a response packet containing IP data to the host device, (4) the host device establishing a new routing table according to the response packets returned from peripheral device, and (5) the host device performing wired or wireless LAN communication with peripheral device according to the new routing table. Therefore, the host device and the device can automatically detect IP data even they may belong to different sub-net to achieve the communication in LAN without setting IP.
|Remote data access techniques for portable devices - A wide-area network ("WAN")-based service enables remote data access transactions between participating endpoints within a group of participating endpoints that includes at least one server and at least one portable electronic device. Each participating endpoint is configured for communication via one or more communication networks and stores the same or different data items on behalf of a user. The WAN-based service maintains information about each participating endpoint in the group and its network accessibility, and also maintains one or more catalogs of available data items. The WAN-based service identifies a communication network available to both participating endpoints, and a direct or proxied communication session is established between the portable electronic device and the other participating endpoint via the communication network. Selected data items are downloaded, uploaded, accessed or synchronized via the communication session. The use of digital rights and identity management techniques in combination with the WAN-based service is also discussed.
|Methods and systems for interworking RSVP-based external control plane protocols with internal control plane protocols - The present invention provides improved methods and systems for interworking Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)-based external control plane protocols with internal control plane protocols, such as Optical Signaling and Routing Protocol (OSRP). The present invention utilizes only a high-level mapping in which a trigger is created in the internal control plane protocol to initiate the desired internal control plane action or vice versa. The external control plane protocol messages and fields are encapsulated as data in the internal control plane messages and fields and are processed only at the remote end of the internal domain. By encapsulating the entirety or parts of the external control plane protocol messages and fields ensures that necessary information is carried from an ingress border node to an egress border node. At the egress border node, the encapsulated external control plane protocol messages and fields are mapped back to the external control plane protocol, without having to make changes to the internal control plane protocol or perform processing at intermediate nodes.

The Header Image….
The header selection under appearance has asking myself how this looks on an array of devices with their screen resolution differences. The interesting part about the header image is the size.
The circle, diamond, and star actual size is 3200 x 460, yet the upload section below the default images suggest the size 1600 x 230 for as-is. Anything bigger will be cropped.
On top of that, when a -child theme is applied a suggestion size is 960 x 250.
It seems the quality will go down as soon as a user of Twenty Thirteen makes a custom header… Is there a way to add an override cropping to a certain size? I want to create a custom header image as high as the defaults, 3200 x 460.
I could make a custom image at 3200 x 460 and replace one of the image names: star.png for example.
Maybe I am the only one, but it would be nice if there was an image with vertical lines showing how much the canvas will show on the landscape/portrait sides for major devices: iPad (retina), iPhone, Galaxy 3, the Nexus tablet, etc.

In Reply to: Fell off the back of a lorry posted by Mark Mywords on April 14, 2010 at 09:36:
: "Fell off the back of a lorry" to describe goods or something that is "hot " ie, stolen or an article or goods that the supplier will be vague about their background or where they came from. Where does this old saying derive from?
It was a way of explaining away the lack of provenance of goods that had been stolen, without admitting their dishonest origins.
The vendor was claiming that he had come upon the goods in a way that could not be traced, but was not seriously illegal: that he had found them after they had 'fallen off the back of a lorry'.

Rum River hits way past Sartell, Princeton) Rum River had the bats dialed in to win their two Eastern Minny League West Division games last weekend, locking in a spot in the upcoming Region 1C tournament.
The Bandits (14-9) will open the 1C tourney hosted at Hinckley against the No. 2 seed from the Sauk Valley League (TBD) at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3.
Rum River opened the EML West playoffs by rolling past the Sartell Stone Poneys 16-6 on the soggy Saturday afternoon in Hinckley. Kevin Auth struck out five of the first six hitters before a rain delay was called. Battling the muddy mound conditions, Auth went the distance and recorded nine strikeouts.
The Bandits owned a 7-0 lead before Sartell rallied to make it a 7-6 game. The Rum River boys put up nine runs in the seventh and eighth to win by the 10-run rule. Andy Julkowski continued his torrid season with four hits against the Stone Poneys. Mike Koplitz was 3-for-3 with two doubles and two walks, and Matt Ziebarth added three hits for the Bandits.
Said Bandit skipper Tom Koplitz, "We just hit the heck out of the ball. Our infield defense has settled in well, too. On the season, our team ERA is under 3.00, and our defense is a big part of that."
Bandits 14, Princeton 3
Rum River clinched its spot in the Region 1C tourney by hammering the EML West No. 1 seed Panthers on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Hinckley's Brennan Field. This time, it was starter Josh Coleman wrapping up a wild weekend with a complete game effort, scattering nine hits over nine innings and striking out seven.
"I just threw a lot of strikes, that was the biggest thing. I just let them put the ball in play most of the time, and our defense backed me up really well," said Coleman. "Earlier in the season, our bats were really cold. But the last few weeks, we heated up. Tonight we got 16 hits, so anybody can pitch behind 16 hits. The run support we pitchers received really helps out."
Coleman's weekend began with the birth of he and his wife's first child, a daughter, on Friday. On Saturday, he coached his PACT-oriented 16-U baseball team to a State championship. Sunday he showed up 20 minutes before game time without his baseball spikes and had to borrow a pair from teammate Ryan Miller.
"It was quite a weekend– a new baby, a State championship and then coming up here to pitch a win," described an obviously tired-looking Coleman.
Rum River owned a 3-0 lead through three innings, then Julkowski singled home Nate Knudsen to make it 4-0 in the top of the fifth. The Panthers cracked the scoreboard in the bottom of the inning when Jerad Goldsmith singled and scored on Jesse Zimmer's hit to right.
In the seventh, the Bandits increased the lead to 6-1 on consecutive hits from Tyler Kronstedt, Knudsen and Julkowski, followed by a sacrifice fly from Ziebarth. The advantage grew to 9-1 in the eighth when Nick Scardigli walked and Kronstedt was hit by a pitch, then Julkowski launched a double off the right-field screen to plate both runs. Ziebarth followed with an RBI single to score Julkowski.
A lead-off double by Koplitz and singles from Jesse Jacobson and Scardigli highlighted the Bandits' five-run ninth for insurance. The Panthers scratched out two runs in the bottom of the ninth before Coleman induced two grounders to third to end the game.
Princeton will host Sartell July 31 to determine the second team to reach regions out of the EML West. In the EML East, Mora tipped Hinckley 4-3 in 15 innings Sunday night to reach the 1C tourney as both Mora's Asa Patterson and the Knights' Truett Kroschel threw complete games. Hinckley plays Quamba July 31 for the remaining EML spot at regions.

Monday dinner at Alkimia. I've lost the conto, but it was our best meal in the five days we were there. Quiet, understated decor; discreet service; excellent wine pairings; and a refined "menu tradicions" consisting of multi-course creative variations upon Catalan cooking. Good value at €58.20.
Tuesday post-opera supper at La Fonda in Hotel España. Chosen because of proximity to the Liceu and its moderniste decor by Doménech. A remarkable room. The kitchen was closing, but one of us had a broad bean with sausage dish and three of us had scallops. All three were ill next day and my wife couldn't leave her bed.
Wednesday night at Tickets. We went, as many do, with suggestions from our waitress. Quite a show. Eleven or twelve "tapas" depending on how you count. I'd echo most of the comments here--the olives, the oyster, the airbags, especially the "viaje nórdico". Didn't care for the "patates confitadas" and weren't charged. Ordered the acorn-fed, 3 year aged ham: ok, but rather dry. The home-cured ham at Els Casals much better.
A Michelin-starred chef had earlier advised us about Tickets: worth a visit but "facile, facile, facile." I'd have to agree.
Thursday night we had a concert at the jaw-dropping Palau de la Música Catalana where we had, pre- and post-, decent tapas at their boisterous bar.
Friday night it was dinner at Coure; our chef-advisor had scored reservations here and, previously, at Alkimia--his two faves in the city. A warning: we were seated at the small ten-seater bar where, we discovered, the tasting menu was unavailable. That was possible only in the basement restaurant. So, à la carte it was and, again, the culinary impulse was variations on Catalunian themes: croquetas, banyoles, an excellent dish of peas--equal to those we had had at El Celler, and especially a dish of espardenyas-- sea cucumbers with artichokes. Quite reasonable: Seven courses plus a half of cava and a decent Martinet white for €188, four of us. The food was fine, but we rather resented being rushed from the bar to make room for
A word about lunch: we had three of them at Cafe de l'Académia. Convenient to our hotel and touring plans, busy, consistently good. The bullabesa, the escudella, the carpaccios of veal and of tuna, the monkfish, the salads, and especially the cod in many ways were without exception, in their simplicity and excellence of ingredients, fine.

Women!!!!!! A Must read !!!!
A father came home and found his three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been
knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon , and the family
room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor,a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor.
Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been
smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his
wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day
when you come home from work and you ask me what in the
world did I do today?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."
Hehe this is indeed a good

Consumers No Longer Forking Out For Knives
By August 2, 2009
Culturally bankrupt shoppers are now buying twice as many forks as knives, according to a British department store. The Brits blame the erosion of their cherished culture on "the American habit of using a single fork." And that's not all. Apparently we're also ruining their understanding and respect for the elegant tradition of proper place settings.

FN Needed for MN Lillian
I am not expecting but I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on FNs for the MN of Lillian. Lillian was my grandfathers mothers name and he passed away unexpectedly just a few months ago. I would like to honor his memory by using his mothers name. Unfortunately it can only be used as a MN. The only name I could come up with was Ava - Ava Lillian. Despite its popularity, I do like Ava but was wanting some more options. Name needs to go with my two daughters name in signature. I like classic timeless names that are familiar, maybe a bit vintage. Thanks.Mom to two wonderful girls:

Faculty members at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health report that taking aspirin regularly is not effective in reducing heart attacks and heart-related deaths in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), but may reduce the risk of strokes in those patients. However the stroke findings are only suggestive and not confirmed by the present study.
In a study of thousands of patients, William Hiatt, professor of cardiology and geriatric medicine and director of the Colorado Prevention Center, and colleagues including Mori Krantz, MD, assistant professor of cardiology working at Denver Health, John Kittelson, PhD, associate professor of public health, and Jeffrey S. Berger, MD, MS of the University of Pennsylvania, found that PAD patients who took aspirin suffered significantly fewer nonfatal strokes. However, they detected only a statistically non-significant reduction in cardiovascular events among PAD patients who regularly took aspirin.
The analysis by Hiatt, Krantz, Kittelson and others of previous studies indicates that among patients with peripheral artery disease, aspirin use is not associated with a decrease in the risk of a group of combined cardiovascular events (nonfatal heart attack, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death), but may be associated with a reduction in the risk of one of these events, nonfatal stroke, although the findings may be limited by the lack of a large study population, according to an article in the May 13 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Although aspirin is effective in the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with symptomatic coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, its effect in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been uncertain, according to background information in the article. Despite limited supporting data, some current guidelines recommend aspirin use for patients with PAD (partial or total blockage of a leg artery, with symptoms including fatigue, cramping and pain from walking).
To assess the effect of aspirin on cardiovascular event rates in patients with PAD, Hiatt and colleagues conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate available evidence from randomized controlled trials of aspirin therapy, with or without dipyridamole (an antiplatelet agent), that reported cardiovascular event rates (the primary events for this analysis were nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI; heart attack], nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death). The researchers identified 18 trials, which included 5,269 patients, of whom 2,823 were randomized to aspirin therapy (of these, 1,516 received aspirin monotherapy) and 2,446 were randomized to placebo or control.
The researchers found that a total of 251 (8.9 percent) cardiovascular events occurred among the patients receiving any aspirin therapy compared with 269 (11.0 percent) events among the control patients, a 12 percent reduction in cardiovascular event rates, which was not statistically significant. Results for associations of aspirin therapy with the individual components of the primary events indicated that the risk of nonfatal stroke was significantly lower (34 percent) in the aspirin group than in the placebo (a rate of events of 1.8 percent vs. 3.1 percent), but was not associated with significant reductions in all-cause or cardiovascular death, or heart attack.
A total of 125 cardiovascular events occurred among 1,516 patients (8.2 percent) receiving aspirin monotherapy compared with 144 events among 1,503 patients (9.6 percent) in the placebo or control groups. Aspirin monotherapy was associated with a 36 percent reduction in the risk of nonfatal stroke (2.1 percent vs. 3.4 percent), but no statistically significant reductions in all-cause or cardiovascular death, heart attack, or major bleeding.
"Results of this meta-analysis demonstrated that for patients with PAD, aspirin therapy alone or in combination with dipyridamole did not significantly decrease the primary end point of cardiovascular events, results that may reflect limited statistical power," the authors write. "The major limitations of this meta-analysis reflect the limitations of published literature on aspirin for treating PAD. Many of these trials were small and of short duration, resulting in few major cardiovascular events."
"However the current evidence was insufficient to rule out small yet important benefits of aspirin (as suggested by the point estimate of a 12 percent risk reduction)," they add. "Larger prospective studies of aspirin and other antiplatelet agents are warranted among patients with PAD in order to draw firm conclusions about clinical benefit and risks."

This paper uses an adaptation of Vahid and Engle's common trend/common cycle analysis to estimate trend and cyclical export elasticities for trading partner income and real exchange rates for 36 countries. For the countries for which both types of income elasticities can be identified, the cyclical elasticity is on average more than twice as large as the trend elasticity. The methodology is applied to forecasting exports during the recent cycle and it appears to improve on simpler models for about half of the countries. For an aggregate of all of the countries for which separate elasticities can be identified, the RMSE is about half as large for the trend/cycle model as for the simple model.

Mayo Clinic is located in the heart of downtown Rochester, Minnesota, a vibrant, friendly city that provides a highly livable environment for more than 34,000 Mayo staff and students.
Nicknamed the "Med City" because of Mayo Clinic's long and prominent history within the community, Rochester is the state's fastest growing city and the third largest. With a population of nearly 110,000 and more than 2 million visitors every year, Rochester has the feel of a medium-sized city while offering many big-city amenities and a cosmopolitan flavor.
The city is consistently ranked among the best places to live in the United States because of its affordable cost of living, healthy lifestyle, excellent school systems and exceptionally high quality of life. Rochester also earns praise as a diverse and safe community where you will find a stimulating combination of arts and entertainment, community resources, and a four-season calendar of sports and recreation.
The Destination Medical Center (DMC) initiative is expected to stimulate additional growth in the community. The project's goal is to create a world-class destination community for patients, students and professionals. Continued enhancements in Rochester's livability and arts, culture, dining and retail offerings are part of this project's priorities.
The Twin Cities — Minneapolis and St. Paul — are an easy 75-minute drive to the north and provide access to metropolitan shopping, sporting and cultural events, and dining.
