Here's a large tract of land that has a great mix of timber, cover/bedding area and ag land. The adjoining properties have more ag land which also makes for more great food sources avialable to wildlife. Seller is in the process of implementing a wildlife/forest plan and is in the process of making more food plots, water holes and developing funnel and pinch points making this property an even better trophy deer sancutary than it already is. Many trophy bucks have been harvested off this property over the years by previous owners and I personally saw a 150" 10 point while viewing the property for this listing. Besides having great deer hunting, the bear hunting is superb in this part of Wisconsin with many trophy class bear coming

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewIn the original Pikmin only three Burrowing Snagrets appear in the main story mode, all in The Forest of Hope, although one also appears in The Final Trial in challenge mode. In Pikmin 2 the first appearance of a Burrowing Snagret is as the boss of the dungeon White Flower Garden, however there are eight different Snagrets in the game in total, all of which appear underground. The Burrowing Snagret also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Biology and Behavior Burrowing Snagrets hide underground and will only surface when they sense Olimar or Pikmin nearby. Occasionally, when surfacing they will become stuck, leaving them entirely vulnerable to attack. Burrowing Snagrets attack by making quick, pecking motions, devouring any prey around them, and while they can eat up to three Pikmin at a time, they also subsist on a diet of small, surface-dwelling insects. The scales covering them make their bodies invulnerable to attack, leaving their head as their only weak spot. According to Olimar a similar creature exists to the Burrowing Snagret called the Burrowing Snarrow, however the Snagret's feathers have a bluish hue which the Snarrow's don't, and the Snagret also lacks a set of tail and wing markings which appear on the body of the Snarrow. A wide array of subspecies of the Snagret exist, living in the various different soil conditions on the Planet of the Pikmin, and the Snagret is the second most geographically represented species on the planet, next to the Bulborb. Apparently no one has ever seen the creature's tail. In the original Pikmin, when they are defeated they burst and drop a number of pellets, however, in Pikmin 2, when defeated, their bodies burst but their heads are left behind which are worth 15 seeds to any Pikmin able to carry them back to their onion. The technical name of the Burrowing Snagret is unknown; however, their scientific name is Shiropedes anacondii.

Days after Atlanta rapper Ludacris dropped his perceived subliminal "Bada Boom" Drake and Big Sean diss record on the Internet, Drizzy has allegedly lashed back.
Following the same strategy as Luda, reports speculate Drake refused to directly address the Atlanta rap star through a Twitter response.
Over the weekend, Drake broke his silence. Sort of. On Saturday (November 19), Drizzy took to Twitter in response to Big Sean's Twitter handle with a fittingly subliminal response to Luda's subliminal diss (the Atlanta rapper didn't name any names in his songs). "@BigSean You awlready know. I wish they'd just let young n*ggas live…respect always," the Young Money rhymer tweeted. (XXL Mag)
Last week, Big Sean addressed the perception of Luda taking aim at him and Drizzy.
"A lot of people thought Drake made that up and this was new, and Drake was like, 'I could trace that back to Big Sean actually on his mixtape. That's where I first heard it. I think that's where a lot of emcees got it from.' That's what Drake said. So people was telling me, 'This is your flow.' And I'm like, 'Alright — I'm pretty sure it was done before [Luda] but I'm just saying where it came from now. We talkin' about now — I'm not trying to debate and say, 'I was the first to do this ever.' I'm just saying that's just where it was between us. So [some interviewers] asked me, 'What's a good example of [the Supa Dupa flow] and what's a bad example of it?' And I think I said [Luda's] 'balloons' line. But I'm telling you this was over a year ago. I can't believe this was something that's been lingering this long — I don't have no problems with Luda. I didn't even know he cared that much, for a year, to be thinking about what I said in interviews — I think Luda is the best, I think he's a legend." (KUBE 93)
On "Bada Boom," Luda makes references to the origin of Sean's signature "Supa Dupa" flow.
"I'm the truth in this booth and you n*ggas all h*es," Luda raps. "Counterfeit rappers say I'm stealing they flows, but I can't steal what you never made up b*tch/Y'all some duplicate rap cloning n*ggas/I manufacture you h*es put on your makeup b*tch. … Let me explain, nothing's been new since Big Daddy Kane/Flows'll get recycled, passed around to different names — Y'all get a couple hit records, make some noise and have the nerve to start shouting?/Who's gassing 'em?/ … May not like the way I used it, but you know you ain't invent it, boy/Do your research before you make a claim so bogus that's disrespecting pioneers in the game… 'My Chick Bad' went platinum, still winning motherf*cker!" ("Bada Boom")
Luda was also confronted about the record's target following its release last week.
Although Luda doesn't mention names, it is quite obvious he is addressing Drake and Big Sean. When asked about the song this morning on Shade 45's "Sway In The Morning" radio program, Luda didn't reveal who he was going at on the song, but did want all the listeners to know he was only defending himself. "I don't start these things, I finish them," Cris told Sway. Luda also addresses the controversy on "History Lesson," another joint off his 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To the First Time mixtape. On the track, Cris plays snippets of songs from throughout the years, where MCs such as Notorious B.I.G., Method Man, Cam'ron and Q-Tip used the infamous "pause, stop" flow. (XXL Mag)

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as the saying goes. And not just any doctor. An apple a day may help keep the neurologist away—along with the cognitive decline that often accompanies aging and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Food scientist Chang Y. Lee found that a nutrient in apples can protect rat brain cells from damage. The nutrient, an antioxidant called quercetin, provided even more protection than Vitamin C, which is known to combat neurodegenerative diseases in humans.
Quercetin belongs to a group of substances getting a lot of attention these days—flavonoids. These are naturally occurring chemical compounds that help give plants their color. Most flavonoids, as well as certain vitamins and minerals, are potent antioxidants; they neutralize harmful free radicals of oxygen, produced when cells burn oxygen for energy. If left unchecked, free radicals cause cumulative cell damage that may lead to cancer or, in the case of brain cells, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or other age-related mental decline.

Twitter shares are down by a quarter after slower growth in user rate. The 21 March 2006 chart certainly indicated it was running into a wall, with Solar Arc Mars opposition Pluto. Not exact in aspect till 2016 but approaching. Solar Arc Saturn opposes the financial Venus in the same year.
The Twitter IPO chart, 7 Nov 2013 10.52am New York is also showing signs of strain through 2014/15 with a frustrating transiting Pluto trine Mars.
Shares in LinkedIn also slumped by 15% on a weaker than expected outlook. Their 19 May 2011 IPO chart shows an uphill battle in 2014 with a dreary, deprived tr Pluto square their Saturn; with jolts from tr Uranus opposition Saturn. Then worse to come in 2015 with a stonewalling Solar Arc Pluto square Saturn and a disruptive/forced re-organisation Solar Arc Uranus square Pluto.

Nintendo is sagging in the market and with sales, having announced it will not shift towards smartphones.
In a previous post in February 2012 I wrote: 'NINTENDO, certainly looks to be in horrible trouble, indeed has been for some time. Tr Neptune is now in the failure-ridden opposition to its Mars, having been opposition Saturn and Venus recently. With tr Uranus just off the opposition to its Libra Sun. There's an emotionally and financially upsetting Solar Arc Uranus opposition its Venus to come within a year as well as the influence-ebbing tr Neptune square Neptune Pluto in 2013/14.'
2014 doesn't look too chirpy with tr Neptune still square Neptune Pluto and tr Saturn square Venus Saturn Mars in Leo till late in the year.
Satoru Iwata's Presidency chart, 31 May 2002, will have odd moments of cheer this year with tr Uranus square Jupiter but is in a panicky nosedive in 2015 with tr Neptune square the Gemini Sun and tr Saturn in opposition Sun.
His own chart, 6 Dec 1959, has again some glimmerings of light this year with tr Uranus trine Jupiter Sun but also a general ebbing away of power and influence.

Mary Joan (Leitz) Edington, 84, Fort Wayne, died Monday, Jan. 20, 2014, at Visiting Nurse and Hospice Home.
She was born Sept. 24, 1929, the daughter of the late Raymond P. and Estella (Parks) Leitz.
When Mary was 10 years old, the family moved to Decatur and she graduated from Decatur High School in 1947. She married James Robert Edington in 1949; they lived in Bluffton until the family moved to Fort Wayne in 1960.
As a mother, Mary Lou Jesionowski, 84, made extraordinary sacrifices to give her children life, love and inspiration. She passed away at 12:30 a.m. January 21, 2014, at Woodcrest Nursing Home.
What a difference a year makes.
Nearly $2.5 million dollars to exact.
At the initial meeting of the new year for the Adams Health Network Board of Trustees, members learned a significant financial turnaround occurred in 2013 with a year ending positive balance of $573,234 — compared to a $1,922,567 deficit in 2012.
On Friday the basketball gym at Adams Central was rocking. AC students and staff were there to celebrate the school district's triple "A" status after the elementary, middle and high schools received A's by the state Department of Education for the 2013 school year.
The grades were based on ISTEP+ performance and growth in math, language arts, and a combination of the two; results of End of Course Assessments; attendance rates; and graduation rates.

I had my six month cleaning last evening and again had a very pleasant experience. I can tell you that the cleaning and follow up evaluation by Dr. Shchipkova were more thorough than I have ever experienced at any other dentists office. I find that everyone in the office is very professional and extremely friendly and that is a rarity nowadays in any type of Doctor's office. The tone is set by Dr. Shchipkova herself who is the most pleasant physician of any type that I have ever been around. The offices are very clean which is important as well. I highly recommend this office.Read More …

"Theologically speaking, Pastor Terry Jones' threat to burn copies of the Qur'an goes against the heart of Christian faith. The faith of Jesus welcomes rather than excludes. The author of John's gospel proclaims that God's light – the true light embodied in Jesus Christ – enlightens all creation and all human beings. (John 1:1-5, 9)" Theology Prof Bruce Epperly reflects on the call of the Gospel related to the proposed holy book-burning this weekend.

(e) a first scanner reading said first machine readable mark;
(f) a second scanner for reading said second machine readable mark; and
(g) a computer for comparing said second machine readable mark to said first machine readable mark in order to determine that said first and second image are identical.
3. The apparatus as in
4. A method for producing identical images comprising:
printing a first image on a first substrate with a first machine readable mark;
printing a second image on a second substrate with a second machine readable mark;
scanning said first and second machine readable marks; and
comparing said first and second machine readable marks to determine if said first and second images are identical.
This invention generally relates to prints processed by a digital image processing apparatus and methods therefor and more particularly relates to an output print generated from digital data, where encoded metadata identifying a data source and image processing variables is coupled to the output print, and to a method for image processing using such encoded metadata.
There can be a considerable amount of information associated with an output image that has been digitally processed and produced on a print by an image processing device. Exemplary types of such information is provided hereinbelow. It is beneficial to have this information integrally coupled to a print and, therefore, readily available for access. This is particularly true for high-quality image prints such as those produced by a digital proofing system, an example of which is the �APPROVAL PS Digital Color Proofing System�� or �APPROVAL XP/XP4 Digital Proofing System�� available from the Eastman Kodak Company, located in Rochester, N.Y.
A substantial amount of information can be associated with a print from an imaging system such as a digital proofing system. Output prints from such a system serve as proofs, intended to closely emulate the appearance of a printed output page from a printing press. For a print from such a halftone digital proofing system, because such a system is designed to emulate printing press output, it is important to know the exact conditions under which an image was processed and will be printed. Variables such as dot shape, screen angle, screen ruling, densities of component colors, and dot gain adjustments can be modified for images printed from such systems, depending on corresponding characteristics of the target multi-color printing system that the proofing system is intended to emulate. Because an image is prepared before printing using any one of a number of digital prepress systems (such as for initial scanning, color correction, and imposition), it is also beneficial to identify the specific system or systems on which an image has been processed. It is also useful to identify a filename associated with the image that is reproduced.
For such a proofing system, an image on an output print is carefully analyzed for its overall appearance and color content. Adjustments for improving appearance and color are made based on appearance and color as they appear in the output print. Ideally, a prepress proof is even expected to represent potential problem conditions, such as possible moir� pattern or other imaging anomalies. In practice, the output print from such a system is often used to obtain formal customer approval before an expensive multi-color printing operation is initiated. As part of the requirements for customer approval, it can be important to validate the source of proof data and to identify the precise processing systems and steps employed with this data. This is because the same image data that is used to create a color separation on the digital proof may be used subsequently to produce a printing plate for that same color separation. In fact, in some printing environments, it can be a requirement that the same data used to generate a proof be used to generate a printing plate. It is instructive to note that this same data may be conditioned, that is, the data may be with or without adjustments for known characteristics of an apparatus or output media. For example, different dot gain compensation may be applied to the data when imaged on different devices. Viewed from this perspective, the output print used as a digital proof supports the workflow of a print job during prepress processing stages and through final approval and printing.
For an output print produced from such a digital proofing system, there can be numerous variables associated with the print. With the KODAK APPROVAL PS or XP/XP4 Digital Proofing System noted hereinabove, for example, special Raster Image Processing (or RIP) setup software prompts an operator to enter desired values for screen ruling, screen angles, halftone dot shape, target densities, dot gain characteristics, and other emulation variables. RIP setup software then generates a separate file containing such proofing variables, where this RIP setup file is associated with the image file to be printed.
Thus, considering the overall value of an output print produced on a halftone digital proofing system and considering the complexity of processing and providing such a print to emulate a printing press, it is desirable to couple identifying and processing information to the print. This would be particularly desirable where a print job may be prepared and printed in different locations. For example, prepress work for a periodical may be performed in the State of New York, while final plate preparation and printing take place in the State of California. Under such conditions, image content for a proof may be transmitted electronically from one site to another. It would be useful to provide some method for validating the image source, processing steps, and RIP setup conditions used to prepare a proof, so that the same proof could be readily reproduced, with all desired proofing parameters, at a number of different locations. It would also be useful to authenticate a print, or to provide a method for quickly verifying that two image files are identical, using a form of hash encoding or �digital signature� that is readily accessible on the print itself. Such a method would be especially useful for digital proofing applications, because two proofs could appear identical to the unaided eye, but differ because they were produced with different dot shapes, screen angles, or other variable parameters. Data transmission errors could also cause problems, unless detected using an authentication scheme.
In the information processing arts, information about data, for example information identifying a data source and identifying processing steps carried out on the data, is termed �metadata�. For the digital prepress proofing application described above, metadata for the actual image and page data that is reproduced on an output print likewise identifies a data source and processing variables. In a more general way, it should be appreciated that the same type of metadata can be useful if coupled to images in other applications. As examples, images digitally obtained via satellite or aerial apparatus, medical or industrial diagnostic images, or images from oceanographic devices often require additional metadata in order to enable correct interpretation of the image data or printing of an image using such data. Images from such devices, because these images are provided as digital data, can undergo a substantial amount of processing before such images are provided on an output print.
There are a number of conventional methods for recording metadata on RIP setup variables used to prepare a digital proof. In the simplest case, an operator may manually take notes on variable settings used. As another example, to provide metadata on the RIP setup proofing variables used to prepare a specific digital proof, and to provide other identifying information about the proof, conventional proofing systems such as the �APPROVAL PS or XP/XP4 Digital Proofing System� might record key identification and image processing variables on the proof itself, typically printed apart from the image, such as in an extreme corner of a proof sheet. Methods such as these might serve the needs of an observer viewing the proof, but would not easily allow automated methods to facilitate access of this information for display, archiving, or the like. Moreover, such handwritten or printed text message would not provide a means for positively authenticating a print as having been produced by a specific prepress system.
Conventional methods for coupling information about a printed image (that is, metadata) to an output print include providing information on an attached magnetic strip. This solution allows storage of some data, but has inherent disadvantages. For example, magnetically encoded media must be protected from magnets or strong electromagnetic fields. The task of reading information from this type of media requires placing the media, in proper orientation, into a reader device. Moreover, magnetic methods provide no easy way to identify and possibly re-use imaging system settings used for an image, such as for the remote proofing situation outlined above.
Attachment of an electronic memory component to the print substrate has inherent disadvantages when physical connection must be made to the memory component for recording or obtaining metadata stored in the memory component. Connectors add cost and present reliability problems caused by dust and dirt and repeated connection/disconnection duty cycles.
Optical encoding, such as using a bar code, is a familiar method widely used for identifying and tracking items in retail merchandising or shipping applications. Bar codes have also been used for tracking and identifying images. In diagnostic imaging, for example, patient identification information can be optically encoded directly onto a film such as for X-rays, ultrasound, or CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) scan, as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,977 (Amendolia et al.) Methods used for providing information with such a diagnostic image include encoding information on the edge of the film substrate containing the image using a bar code or other optical encoding.
Applications in photographic film processing and printing have used optical encoding in various ways for identifying negative frames and exposure conditions. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,905,580 (Cok et al.) discloses use of a bar code on a developed negative for frame identification. As another example, prints generated using APS advanced Photo System) technology, such as is provided with KODAK �ADVANTIX�� film available from the Eastman Kodak Company, can include some limited information, such as date and time data printed on the reverse side of a print. However, other than back-printing of this relatively small amount of text data, other useful information is not encoded onto the print itself. U.S. Pat. No. 5,023,656 (Terashita) discloses imprinting of focus and range distance information as bar code data on the edge of a photographic film to improve negative development quality by a processor, based on this information. Again, however, this information is not provided on the output print itself.
For conventional silver-halide photoprocessing using light-exposure techniques, U.S. Pat. No. 4,951,086 (Hicks) discloses using a separate, marked photographic print having a bar-coding that includes photographic processing information to assist in ordering and processing photographic reprints. This information identifies a photographic print so that its corresponding negative can be located on a specific reel. Bar code information also provides information on exposure settings made on the photoprocessing apparatus in order to create a photographic print such as for color balance and density, and cropping adjustments. An operator can use the bar code information to improve the accuracy of reproduction of a photographic reprint or to serve as a basis for making further exposure or cropping adjustments to improve the look of a photographic reprint to suit a customer.
Bar codes have been used in verification and tracking of paper documents, as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,671,282 (Wolff et al.) The Wolff et al. patent provides a method, using bar code or other optical encoding, for authenticating a copy of a document as valid, to help prevent forgery or prevent substitution of an incorrect document (for example, with drug prescriptions). In a similar manner, for an electronic document processing system, where paper documents and their corresponding files can be shared on a network comprising multiple authors and users and may be stored, reprinted, or photocopied on any number of devices, U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,686 (Zdybel, Jr. et al.) discloses the printing of encoded optical data on an electronic document, for purposes of authentication. To validate and qualify a paper document produced by an electronic document processing system, the Zdybel, Jr. et al. patent also discloses use of a printed optical encoding for identifying the specific machine that prints an electronic document and for listing the image rendering characteristics used by that machine.
However, a prepress proof is a different type of document than that contemplated by the Zdybel, Jr. et al. and Wolff et al. patents mentioned above. A preprocess proof is not an original; rather, it is a representation of the desired press output. The primary function of a proof is emulation of a printing press (allowing a close match to a final printed output in terms of color, printing parameters, and even paper stock �look and feel�) and its use is as an intermediate product in an overall prepress workflow. However, it would be beneficial to provide, on a prepress proof (as well as on an output image from a diagnostic or aerial photography system), some of the same types of identifying information applied to documents in the Zdybel, Jr. et al. and Wolff et al. disclosures.
Additionally, encryption of bar codes, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,641,347 (Clark et al.), provides a method for validating the source and authenticity of an attached document to detect theft or forgery. Positive print authentication for output proofs can have particular value. It is desirable to include information on exactly bow the image is printed such that the image may be easily recreated and tracked through to the printing press. For example, during successive stages in prepress workflow, several output prints can be generated as proofs. To the unaided eye, or to someone not familiar with the detailed history of a specific print job, two proofs, each generated during a different stage, can appear to be identical. Thus it can be seen that the likelihood of confusion could be minimized if there were a convenient method for distinguishing between digital proofs produced using different setup parameters.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,724,491 (Kashihara) discloses the use of bar code optical encoding in prepress applications. In the Kashihara disclosure, a separate command sheet is used during an intermediate step in prepress workflow. The command sheet identifies the intended placement of images for a print job. A prepress operator uses the command sheet for accessing, scanning, processing, and imposing each individual image or text component used, in order to create a printing plate. Bar codes on the command sheet provide an operator with an automated method for accurate image identification and placement, such as would be required when creating a proof or a printing plate. Notably, the bar code disclosed in the Kashihara patent prints as an overlay to each image component on a separate layout paper or command sheet, intended for use by an operator when preparing printing plates. Images printed on the command sheet are not intended to emulate final printed color or appearance; rather, the images are typically at low-resolution, intended �for position only�. Moreover, any output proof generated using such a method would not include identifying information provided by these temporary bar codes. That is, metadata about the print itself, which would be useful to anyone examining the print, does not appear on the output print.
Thus, it can be seen that while there have been methods for coupling information to individual images and graphical components and for tracking and validating documents, conventional approaches are lacking in addressing the long-felt needs and specific requirements for processing, accurate analysis, and positive verification of digitally processed prints such as are provided from a digital proofing system.
It is an object of the present invention to provide, from an image processing apparatus, an output print generated from digital data, where encoded metadata identifying a data source and image processing variables is coupled to the output print, and to provide a method for image processing using such encoded metadata.
An output print produced by an image processing apparatus comprising a first machine-readable marking coupled to the output print, where said first machine-readable marking identifies a data source for the output print; and a second machine-readable marking coupled to the output print, where said second machine-readable marking identifies at least one processing parameter employed by the image processing apparatus to produce the output print from said data source.
A feature of the present invention is the provision of a marking, coupled to the print itself, that encodes data source and processing information specific to an output print, where the marking can be read using a standard scanner device for accessing the metadata.
An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a method for identifying a digital image and for distinguishing one digital image from another, where there may be differences in processing between two digital images that otherwise appear to be the same. As a result, the present invention allows an automated method for positive verification of an output print.
A further advantage of the present invention is that it provides a method for positive verification of a digital image file, to help prevent substitution of an incorrect file or use of a file that has been incorrectly processed.
Advantage of the present invention is that it provides a method for remotely processing and printing an output print at two different locations using identical processing variables.
These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein there is shown and described illustrative embodiments of the invention.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter of the present invention, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The present description is directed in particular to elements forming part of, or cooperating more directly with, apparatus in accordance with the invention. It is to be understood that elements not specifically shown or described may take various forms well known to those skilled in the art.
In the following description, the term �metadata� is used in its conventional sense as is well known in the data processing art and refers to information about an output print, including information on the image data used to generate the print.
An output print, as the term is used herein, is a print that is generated from a data source. Data from the data source, typically provided as a digital file, is input to an image processing system which processes and produces the output print. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, output prints are produced from a digital proofing system. Output prints could alternately be produced by other types of imaging systems that process digital images from a data source, such as for aerial photographs or diagnostic images.

RIP 48 rasterizes image file 72 and transmits the rasterized data for printing to a printer 52. Typically, the rasterized data is provided one color separation at a time, in sequence, as process colors C, M, Y, K (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) plus any special colors required for the page. Printer 52 may store the rasterized separations internally, on a printer storage device 54, which is typically a high-capacity hard disk. A print engine 56 then generates output print 10 using the rasterized separations. RIP 48 uses a set of setup parameters to control the generation of rasterized separations. These RIP setup parameters determine how output print 10 will emulate its intended printing press. An operator can enter these RIP setup parameters using a user interface on prepress workstation 46 or, alternately, on a RIP interface terminal 74 as shown in FIG. 3. RIP 48 stores RIP setup parameters as RIP setup file 40.
Still referring to
Data Contents and Arrangement for Bar Codes 20, 22, and 24
As noted earlier, output print 10 may be a digital proof produced with the goal of emulating a specific printing press and press conditions. Using software on prepress workstation 46 or running on RIP 48 and accessed using RIP interface terminal 74, a specific set of setup parameters is generated for preparing a digital proof. In a preferred embodiment, RIP setup bar code 20 is used to encode, in compact form, the RIP setup parameters used to generate output print 10. For this RIP setup parameter storage and storage of other data, bar codes 20/22/24 can employ a standard encoding, such as Code 128 encoding, known in the bar code encoding art. Code 128 encoding allows storage of the complete 128 ASCII character set as 8-bit data bytes and is thus easy to use and to adapt to a character-based file format. For compactness of encoding, the preferred embodiment uses Code 128 encoding, then utilizes one or more bits within each data byte to store RIP setup parameter settings.
By way of example only, and not by way of limitation, the metadata represented in RIP setup bar code 20 coupled to output print 10 used as a digital proof may be any of the exemplary data displayed in Table 1 hereinbelow.
The set of RIP setup parameters as outlined in the example of Table 1 can be properly formatted to produce RIP setup file 40, which can then be used by RIP 48 software. RIP setup file 40 can use the same data arrangement as listed in Table 1 to store the encoded information in ASCII character format, for example. The Table 1 data would then generate an ASCII file with RIP setup information occupying as few as 17 bytes.
By way of example only, and not by way of limitation, additional metadata on environmental conditions and physical characteristics, encoded in bar code 24, may be any of the exemplary data displayed in Table 2 hereinbelow.
The set of environmental and physical characteristics as outlined in the example of Table 2 can be entered manually by an operator at either prepress workstation 46 or at RIP interface terminal 74. Or, information can be obtained in an automated manner, such as over laminator transmission link 78 a/b/c, or obtained from printer 52 over printer transmission link 82, for example. The set of environmental and physical characteristics as outlined in the example of Table 2 can be stored as part of RIP setup file 40 or in another file associated with RIP setup file 40. RIP setup file 40 can use the same data arrangement as listed in Table 1 to store the additional encoded information from the Table 2 data in ASCII character format, for example. The Table 2 data would add 45 ASCII characters (bytes) in length to RIP setup file 40, in addition to the data listed in Table 1. It should be noted that the preferred embodiment combines the Table 2 environmental and physical data with the Table 1 RIP setup data in RIP setup file 40 and encodes the combined Table 1 and Table 2 data in a single RIP setup bar code 20. However, an alternate arrangement with a separate bar code 24 (as in the example of
By way of example only, and not by way of limitation, the metadata represented in data source identification bar code 22 coupled to output print 10 used as a digital proof may be any of the exemplary data displayed in Table 3 hereinbelow.
The set of setup parameters as outlined in the example of Table 3 can be stored together, either included as part of RIP setup file 40 or as a separate file. Similarly, RIP setup file 40 can use the same data arrangement as listed in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 to store encoded information in ASCII character format, for example. The combined Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 data (in a simple example) would then generate an ASCII file that could store Table 1, 2, and 3 information in fewer than 200 characters (bytes).
Hash Functions, Encryption, or Digital Signature
In addition to the identification and processing data as described in Tables 1 and 2 above, bar codes 20, 22, or 24 could also incorporate a hash function or similar data-checking routine for print authentication. A hash value, such as the one generated by MD2 or MD5 algorithms, using encoding techniques well known in the digital file transmission art, would provide a tool for verifying that the content of one image file 72 is identical to the content of another image file 72. (MD denotes Message Digest algorithms, licensed from RSA Data Security, Inc. located in Bedford, Mass.)
Where a more secure authentication scheme is needed (such as to prevent a transmitted image file 72 from being appropriated by an unauthorized party), a �digital signature� or �digital fingerprint� can be computed using techniques well known in the digital file transmission art. In general, computation of a digital signature is more complex than computation of a hash function. A digital signature could be generated by further encoding of a hash function, for example. Such a digital signature could be generated based on data in the image file used for printing and, possibly, also based on related data such as RIP setup processing variables, date/time stamp, or originating system identification. The digital signature could then be encoded as part of bar code 20/22/24.
Applications in Remote Proofing

The arrangement of
Alternately (where only image file 72 for output print 10 is sent over transmission link 66), bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) could be photocopied and faxed from local site 60 to remote site 62 and processed by RIP 48 at remote site 62 for processing the image data. Or, the complete image, including embedded bar codes 20 and 22 (and optionally bar code 24) can be sent using the fax link mechanism.
Or, because bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) can also incorporate an accompanying human-readable numeric or alphanumeric string 70 (see
Using bar code reader 42, an operator performs a �read bar code� step 108 in which bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) are read from output print 10. Software on prepress workstation 46 performs a �decode bar code� step 110, in which data from bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) are decoded. Prepress workstation 46 next performs a �generate page setup file� step 112 which recreates a RIP setup file 40 for output print 10. A �display information� step 114 enables prepress workstation 46 to display information read from bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) and relevant to output print 10.
In a remote proofing application, such as that shown in
Of course, it is instructive to note that
Metadata As Part Of Bitmapped Image Data
It is significant to note that the output bitmapped data from RIP 48 that goes to printer 52 can include bar codes 22 and 20 (and, optionally, bar code 24) as well as any graphics 14 and text areas 16. In this way, metadata for output print 10 would be encoded as part of the rasterized image data. That is, bar codes 20 and 22 (and, alternately, bar code 24) that are an integral part of the bitmapped color separation data that is output by RIP 48, are stored in printer storage device 54 and is ultimately used for imaging by print engine 56. Because data processed by RIP 48 can be in a format that is proprietary to the manufacturer of printer 52, this can allow a measure of security for the rasterized output image data that is stored on printer storage device 54 and processed by printer 52.
While the invention has been described with particular reference to its preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements in the preferred embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, while the preferred embodiment of the present invention is for output prints used as digital proofs, optical encoding can be employed for other types of images that are stored, processed, and transmitted as digital data, such as satellite images or aerial photographs, medical and industrial diagnostic images, and images from oceanographic apparatus. Also, the present invention would have particular value for images where processing steps that have been used are not intended to be easily discerned by the unaided eye.
As another example, the present invention uses bar codes; however, other methods of optical encoding could be used within the scope of the invention. Encoding could be printed using alternate media, allowing, for example, detection of infrared markings. Reading devices could include any of a number of scanner types, selected for the type of marking detected.
As yet another example, and referring back to
In addition, other types of finishing apparatus could be used, in addition to a laminator. Optional finishing apparatus could include any device that applies a finish coating to output print 10 or mounts output print 10 to a substrate, for example.
Further, a preferred embodiment of the present invention uses two or three separate bar codes. However, multiple bar codes could be used, or a single bar code could be used for the purpose of storing relevant RIP setup and identifying information, within the scope of the present invention.
Moreover, metadata could also be encoded in a bar code or other optical marking and printed on a label that could then be affixed or otherwise coupled to output print 10.
Therefore, what is provided is an output print generated from digital data, where encoded metadata identifying a data source and image processing variables is coupled to the output print, and a method for image processing using such encoded metadata.

Nawabs of Arcot
Nawabs of Arcot ,India
Nawabs of Arcot were viceroys of the Mughai Emperors, they carry a history of more than 300 years old.
The history of The Nawabs of the Carnatic (1690-1855 A.D.) is much older than the State of Tamil Nadu, India.Arcot, sometimes named Carnatic, is a town located in modern Tamil Nadu in India, near Madras. It is the capital city of a state ruled since 1692 by the Nawabs of Arcot, as viceroys of the Mughai emperors. The Nawabs of Arcot a princely family traces its lineage from the Second Caliph of Islam, Hazrath Omar Bin-Khattab.
More than 300 years ago, Zulfikar Ali Khan was summoned from Mecca by Emperor Aurangazeb in order to fight against the Marathas. In the 17th Century when the Marathas were holding sway in the Southern Carnatic from their stronghold at Gingee, Zulfikar Ali Khan came down and inflicted a crushing defeat on the ruler Rajaram. The delighted Mughal emperor made him the Nawab of the Carnatic under the suzerainty of the Nizam of Hyderabad and thus were sown the beginnings of the House of Arcot.
Arcot was brought under the control of the Colonial Government in 1801, annexed by the British in 1825 and the state extinguished in 1855. The dynasty continues as Princes of Arcot. The Prince of Arcot still holds the unique position in Indian politics of being the only member of a royal family who is recognized as a prince, his rank being that of a cabinet minister.
The rulers were:
Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Khan (1692-1703 A.D.)
Nawab Daud Khan (1703-1710 A.D.)
Nawab Muhammed Saadatullah Khan (I 1710-1732 A.D.)
Nawab Dost Ali Khan (1732-1740 (grand nephew), married and had issue. He died in 1740 A.D.)
Nawab Safdar Ali Khan
Nawab Safdar Ali Khan (1740-1742)
Nawab Muhammed Saadatullah Khan II
There were in all 13 Nawabs and the last Nawab regarded as a titular sovereign was Nawab Ghulam Muhammed Ghous Khan (1824-1855 A.D. born 1824, died 7th October 1855.) In his time Arcot was annexed and it became a princely state.
Arcot became a dependency of the British in its early years. By the treaty of 1801 with the British "the whole of civil and military government of Arcot was transferred forever to the English East India Company and the Nawab and his heirs were to preserve their title and dignity and to receive one fifth of the net revenues of the Country." When Muhammed Ghauz died without an issue, the East India Government decided to abolish the title of "Nawab". Lord Dalhousie the then Governor General of India stated, since the regular succession up to 1855 was "by grace of over lordship," it was to be terminated in 1855 by the application of the Doctrine of Lapse. In 1867 the claimant to the Nawabs was recognized as the Prince of Arcot and the first noble in the Madras Presidency. The Princes of Arcot who followed Nawab Ghulam Muhammed Ghous Khan were eight in number including the present one.
The present Nawab HH Nawab Muhammed Abdul Ali, 8th Prince of Arcot since 1993, was born on 9th August 1951. He was Sherriff of Chennai (then Madras) for two terms, from 1984-1985 and again from 1988-1989. He is recognised by the government as the `First Nobleman` in the Muslim community of South India. He enjoys a place equivalent to that of state cabinet ministers and is officially recognized by the President of India as the Prince of Arcot. He is the founder secretary-general of Harmony India, (founded in 1990) an association to promote communal amity, secularism and National Foundation of Communal Harmony. The Prince is a patron of music, art and literature and his hobbies include photography, gardening and reading books. He married HH Sayeeda Begum and has two sons. Their palace in Arcot the Amir Mahal situated in the heart of Chennai, takes you back to history so old and intricate.

FBI: BlackShades infected half-million computers
More than a half-million computers in over 100 countries were infected by sophisticated malware that lets cybercriminals remotely hijack a computer and its webcam, authorities said as charges were announced Monday against nearly 100 people worldwide.
Associated Press
More than a half-million computers in over 100 countries were infected by sophisticated malware that lets cybercriminals remotely hijack a computer and its webcam, authorities said as charges were announced Monday against nearly 100 people worldwide.
Authorities said 97 people suspected of using or distributing the malicious software called BlackShades have been arrested in 16 countries, including the software's owner, a 24-year-old Swedish man.
"This case is a strong reminder that no one is safe while using the Internet," said Koen Hermans, a Netherlands official in Eurojust, the European Union's criminal investigation coordination unit. "It should serve as a warning and deterrent to those involved in the manufacture and use of this software."
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called BlackShades a "frightening form of cybercrime," saying a cybercriminal could buy a $40 malicious program whose capabilities were "sophisticated and its invasiveness breathtaking." FBI Agent Leo Taddeo said people suspecting they are BlackShades victims should visit FBI.gov to learn how to check computers.
Authorities said the BlackShades Remote Access Tool or "RAT" has been sold since 2010 to several thousand users, generating sales of more than $350,000. The agency said one of the program's co-creators is cooperating and had provided extensive information.
BlackShades owner, Alex Yucel, arrested in Moldova last November, is facing extradition to the United States. Michael Hogue, 23, of Maricopa, Arizona -- the program's co-creator -- had pleaded guilty in New York after his June 2012 arrest and is cooperating, Bharara said.
The malware lets hackers steal personal information, intercept keystrokes and hijack webcams to secretly record computer users. BlackShades also can be used to encrypt and lock computer data files, forcing people to pay a ransom to regain access.
The hacking tool's low cost has boosted its popularity across the hacker underground, where variants have long circulated online.
Last year, security firm Symantec said use of BlackShades was rising, with program licenses costing $40 to $100.
French officials said raids last week followed the FBI's arrest of two BlackShades developers and its distribution of a list of the malware's customers.
Law enforcement coordination agencies Europol and Eurojust, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said Monday that police in 13 European countries -- Austria, Belgium, Britain, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Moldova, the Netherlands and Switzerland -- as well as in the United States, Canada and Chile raided 359 properties and seized cash, firearms, drugs and more than 1,000 data storage devices.
In Paris, the state prosecutor's office said more than two dozen people were arrested during May 13 raids. It said those arrested were identified by the FBI as French "citizens who had acquired or used this software."
In a previous BlackShades-related investigation, Dutch police this year arrested an 18-year-old man for using the malware to take pictures of women and girls within view of webcams on about 2,000 computers.
A Southern California man who was sentenced in March to prison for hacking the computers of a future Miss Teen USA and other young women was not part of the case. Authorities say that he had BlackShades on his computer, but that it wasn't clear whether he used it or another program.
Sterling reported from Amsterdam. Associated Press writers Jamey Keaten in Paris, Raphael Satter in London and Tom Hays in New York contributed to this report.

Rated 5 out of 5 by none00000000002014 Great all around service Excellence! I will recommend this hotel to all that visit the greater New Orleans area. May 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Howie84 WOW! in New Oerleans! The Sheraton New Orleans was simply a great place to stay - the staff was marvelous to us, helped us enjoy our stay to the fullest! Smiles greeted us, and helped us on our way. We would recommend this hotel to everyone we know! November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by navyperson Excellent location and very comfortable Great location to walk to the Quarter -- and all the good restaurants. Appreciate the bed and the room size and view. Very modern, very comfortable after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend it for a trip to New Orleans. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn1948 Staff The staff was so friendly and made me feel special. They recommended a place to eat (Palace Cafe) and it was marvelous. The room was comfy and it was a nice way to end my cruise before heading home. March 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JJ63 Great Location Great business hotel located a block from the French Quarter. The hotel facilities, staff and meeting areas are great. May 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kevin2014 Did not meet expectations From Check in to moving rooms to the meeting rooms to the internet. Very poor. The property is nice and the people are polite but they do not know what they are doing and they are out of touch with the customers. January 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TMast Great place to stay The Sheraton was wonderful. Very clean updated and upscale. It is very close to everything walking is a great way to get around. The staff were helpful and kind. April 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by shushky Rest up before you arrive room was VERY hot, especially when trying to sleep at night. Rooms were very noisy, Hotel room doors closed were loudly so when people in other rooms were leaving it would wake me up. Got no sleep during my 2 night stay. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PDubinLA Great Location & Service Great room furnishings. Staff was very helpful and friendly - first time in NOLA and its a fun and friendly place. Only issue was that the remote on the flat screen was a pita. But then again, wasnt at the hotel much. June 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MarkUSMC Usually a Great Hotel Hotel Is usually a very good place to stay. This time I had to wait in line for quite a while to check in to the hotel. The elevators took forever, more than once or twice. It was every time it took a very long time. September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MixedReview Mixed Review Checkin was at 3pm. I arrived shortly after 5pm and they still did not have my room ready for me. Check-in line was very long, and had to stand in that twice due to room not being ready. Then was also told that there no microwaves available for my room (even though I had requested it in my reservation), and no courtesy microwave availalble that I could use anywhere in the hotel. This was very inconvenient since I'm on a special diet. Ended up having to eat/drink everything cold. Rooms were clean, and we had the option of putting out a 'go green' sign which told cleaning that we didn't need anything....and we were to get a $5 gift card for each day we did that. I did all 4 nights of my stay, and received only 2 cards. Another person in our party did not put the sign out as she wanted her coffee supplies refreshed every day. Her room was never cleaned, but she did at least get a $5 card each of her 4 nights. She had to call to the front desk to request coffee supplies. The program idea is a good one, but only if the cleaning staff actually follows the rules as layed out. July 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Annadraste This Hotel Needs Improvement *Going 'green' = NO TOWEL ROD for wet towels. Over the shower rod, I could not reach and would never do that. Room was not clean, dust under chair and table we moved for better location and dust in bathroom (no wonder I had allergies). Lack of comfortable chairs for two people. Kept having to move the desk chair. For what FOOD is in the restaurant and bar -- it is way overpriced. Not that good. For condition of room (dirty), it size and lack of amentities, having to ask twice for anything needed, cost is excessively high. No saucer for spoon used to stir coffee; wait person's comment they clean the tables: SORRY, I do not set my spoon on a table as I have no clue how clean it REALLY is or if cleaning product residue is on table. Given the dirity guestroom, how can I be confident the tables are clean??? No fridge and no microwave in room; have stayed at many hotels in several states and countries and lower end hotels have a place for you to keep water, food, left-over's and heat them, as well as those on special diets when your menu does not have what some can eat. Most everyone we talked with felt the elevator system SUCKED. It seemed we waited long times for them. Overall, not impressed. May 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dani2678 Below Expectations The stay as a whole was below par. First we arrived to a warm room on a hot day and it was down hill from that point. I turned down the air to 65 and left for 7 hours. When we returned the room was slightly cool. The bellhop assisted us with the A/C system but ultimately the room never cooled below 75. Unfortunately, it was 1am when I woke up, due to the heat, and found my family clammy. Then they have the concierge that was less than friendly when we asked for suggestions for local restaurants. Finally we have the pool area. The pool is small, only has one light that works in the pool and no lighting outside the pool. The area in general appear run down and neglected. I did share these concerns with the manager on duty at check out and he offered me 1000 reward points. I soon found out per a SPG operator that 1000 pts won't do anything. It takes 3000-5000 pts to even have a comp stay. So I was then comped my valet parking. This stay was to much hassle for me. Not worth the $160 a night. Wouldn't even go back for a free stay....not that they offered!!!!! Two thumbs down! August 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MsDee Surprised! I was very surprised and elated with the awesome customer service that I and other guest received! That alone would make me come back! The room was clean and smoke free! March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lld724 Conference Stay Excellent service,clean rooms, and friendly staff. My only suggestion is that the Rhythms Room temperature needs to be warmer! Other than that, the Hotel exceeded my expectations! Thanks for a pleasurable stay. October 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gary846 Great location Our second stay at Sheraton in New Orleans, we enjoyed the location and view of Mississippi River from our room. The service and accommodations were excellent. We would stay there again and recommend to others. July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Albee429 This hotel was very comfortable I was in the executive suite. It was a very spacious room (bedroom, lounging and kitchenette area) with a beautiful view of the riverfront through the full length windows. The bed was ultra-soft and relaxing. August 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mmchoco Problem on Keys and Cleanliness I got so many unsatisfactory experience at Sheraton New Orleans. 1. Card Key: may troubles. NOT ONLY ONCE, I had to come back 3 times to change the card key and also the door handle itself had problem. the security and engineer told me to fix until I come back, it was not fixed even at 9pm when I was back. It was so frustrating to face this issue when I am exhausted from long work. Not only me, my assistant (room: #2701) and 4 of my clients had the same trouble. Also, we observed other guests had to come back to the front desk for the same problem 2) Cleanliness: do you tell your house keeping to wash and clean the bath tub? it was awfully dirty. I had to wash it by my self every night. Also, even I called guest service to clean my room while my absence, it was not done when I was back around 6pm. More things: house keeping forgot to leave tea bags, new cups, to dump the trash, etc. I think you should also educate /train your housekeeping staff to say at least "Good morning" or " Hi" when they see the guest in the morning. also, they shouldn't use their cell phone while working. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissa32 So posh and comfortable This hotel was beautiful and very comfortable. The staff was excellent. There was an incredible photography exhibit on the ground floor while we were there. I will stay there everytime I go to New Orleans. August 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveler Hotel The GO GREEN program leaves a lot to be desired. I had to ask every day for the $5 coupon. It was never left under my door as told to me by the front desk personnel.Other than that it was a terrific hotel June 5, 2013

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Entergy Arkansas says a worker was killed and three others injured when a heavy piece of equipment fell at a nuclear plant.
The utility says the public is not a risk after the industrial accident Sunday morning at its Arkansas Nuclear One plant in Russellville, about 70 miles northwest of Little Rock. Entergy says the workers were moving the equipment from the plant's turbine building.
Entergy and the Arkansas Department of Health say the accident did not affect the plant's reactors. They also say radiation wasn't involved. The reactors have been shut down, and the company says they are stable.
The company stress that there is no danger to the public.
Chief nuclear officer Jeff Forbes says Entergy is "deeply saddened" by the accident.
