An image containing text (e.g., a surveillance camera photo that includes a vehicle license plate) is analyzed to determine the text (e.g., by an OCR technique). The recognized text is then stored in a database. The image is digitally watermarked with an identifier that associates the image with the database location where the text is stored. In addition to surveillance contexts, this technology can be employed in indexing the World Wide Web. Images used in web pages can be watermarked to link to associated text or other data. When the web page is crawled by an indexer, the watermark can be decoded and the associated data repository accessed to obtain information that can augment the web index for that page.
1. A method of augmenting image data collected by a security monitoring camera, comprising:
analyzing a frame of image data from said security monitoring camera for text information depicted therein; and
digitally watermarking said image data;
wherein said digital watermark associates the image data with the text information.

The World Wide Web is a distributed database including hundreds of millions of documents. Search engines such as Alta Vista attempt to index the web based on ASCII text included on each page and on associated meta tags. Increasingly, however, text information is present on the Web in the form of text images. Known search engines are unable to make use of text presented in this form.
One approach to this problem is discussed in Lopresti et al, �Locating and Recognizing Text in WWW Images,� Information Retrieval, vol. 2, no. 2-3 p. 177-206, 2000, and involves a procedure based on clustering in color space followed by a connected-components analysis. Character recognition is performed using polynomial surface fitting and �fuzzy� n-tuple classifiers. While suitable for some applications, such techniques are too computationally intensive and imprecise for widespread use.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an image containing text is digitally watermarked with an identifier. The identifier serves as an index to a database record where additional information about the image, including keywords or full text of the included text, are provided. To obtain the associated data, a search engine web crawler or other process can download an image, apply a watermarking detection procedure, use an identifier thereby obtained to index a database, and access keywords or full text represented in the image from the indexed database record.
The text can be entered in the database using various known methods. One is to have the text manually coded by a clerical service. Another is to apply an automated OCR process to the image data, such as that detailed by Lopresti. Once the text is once thereby developed, it can be made quickly available repeatedly thereafter by reference to the associated database record.
The database can be conventional, and is preferably accessible over the internet. A suitable database system is disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 09/571,422, filed May 15, 2000. A variety of watermarking techniques are known. An illustrative set of techniques that can be employed in this application is disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 09/503,881, filed Feb. 14, 2000 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,614,914). The disclosures of these applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The technology disclosed herein finds myriad applications. As noted, one is in the indexing of a collection of electronic documents (e.g., web pages). An index augmented by the results of such a procedure is generally more useful than such an index without augmentation.
Another application is in the use of webcams, or security monitoring cameras. Certain image frames from such sources (e.g., one every minute, or one every second, etc.) can be analyzed for textual information (e.g., license plate markings, superimposed date data), and the textual information stored. The image data is watermarked, with the watermark indicating the repository of the corresponding textual information.
Still another application is PDF documents or fax data files. (While some PDF files include corresponding ASCII text data, most do not.) The file data can be applied to an OCR engine, and the resulting text stored in a database. The PDF or fax data file can be slightly altered to impart a watermark�the watermark again serving to point to the repository of the corresponding text information.
Yet another application is in photocopiers. Again, the textual content is extracted from the scanned image of the original document. In this case the paper photocopy output (or a corresponding digital file) is altered in slight respects to encode a watermark. The watermark points to the text data repository.
While the illustrative embodiment particularly considered watermarks that convey an index to a remote database, other arrangements are naturally possible. For example, the watermark can directly encode the fulltext or keywords (forms of metadata).
Similarly, while the illustrative embodiment particularly considered imaged text in image files, the same principles can be applied more widely. For example, all metadata associated with an image through a watermark can be employed in compiling an index of the web or other collection of content data�not just included text (e.g., names of persons and places, dates, times, and other more application-specific metadata). Moreover, such techniques are not just limited to images. Other forms of content, including video and audio, can be watermarked, and the metadata thereby associated with the content can be used for web indexing and other purposes.

Because freedom can't protect itself
From the executive director of the ACLU, Anthony D. Romero, and award-winning journalist Dina Temple-Raston, In Defense of Our America takes a critical look at civil liberties in this country at a time when constitutional freedoms are in peril. Using the stories of real Americans on the frontlines of the fight for civil liberties, In Defense of Our America illustrates the dangerous erosion of the Bill of Rights in the age of terror.
gainst the backdrop of post-9/11 America, readers are taken behind the scenes of some of the most important civil liberties cases in America. From the story of the "American Taliban" to the battle against the National Security Agency's warrantless spying program, In Defense of Our America tracks a roster of skirmishes in the larger fight for civil liberties in this country. It tracks an effort in Pennsylvania to force religion into the public school science curriculum and tells the story of South Dakota's attempts to place an outright ban on abortions in the state.
In a narrative that allows the characters to tell the story, In Defense of Our America offers the first inside look at the Lindh family as they saw their son and brother, John Walker Lindh, emerge as a symbol of America's battle against Islamic fundamentalism. It follows Joshua Dratel, a defense attorney at the center of many legal battles over the rights of individuals suspected of terrorism, and tells the story of a modern-day Scopes trial in Dover, Pennsylvania. The book tracks the case of Matthew Limon, a gay teenager sentenced to 17 years for having consensual oral sex with a younger teenage boy in Kansas, and looks behind the reports of a broken judicial system in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
In Defense of Our America chronicles the stories of an array of colorful characters to illustrate the state of play in today's fight for civil liberties, including Cecelia Fire Thunder, the Sioux president who wanted to open an abortion clinic on her South Dakota reservation, and high school science teacher Bertha Spahr who defied a school board dominated by fundamentalist Christians by taking a stand against "intelligent design."
With unparalleled access to key players in some of the landmark tests of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, In Defense of Our America weaves together a compelling narrative that provides an unusually full look at the fight for civil liberties as Americans struggle to protect their rights and ensure their security.
Anthony D. Romero became executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in September 2001, a week before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Born in New York City to parents who hailed from Puerto Rico, Romero is a graduate of Stanford University Law School and Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs.

Aristide, Henry place second in Purdue election
It was a valiant effort, but Purdue's Ishmael Aristide and Rob Henry fell short in their attempt to become student body president and vice president, respectively. The duo came in second in the school's recent student government election. Last month, we published a post spotlighting the creative campaign. According to the Purdue Exponent, Joe Rust and Lexi Hiland won the election. Even though Aristide and Henry didn't win, their campaign videos were great. Watch both spots in this post.

Denied the Right to Teach Our Children
Will we be denied the right to teach our children the greatest commandment?
If you were going to teach your children one commandment from all of scripture, what would you teach them? In Matthew 22:36-38, a Pharisee once asked Jesus the question, "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" Jesus responds with these words, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you mind. This is the great and first commandment." Read More
The Extraordinary Thing is…Jesus!
Recently, I reflected back on the Christmas season and I was struck by one element that hadn't occurred to me before. Usually my thinking goes to the incarnation and Jesus coming as the King of kings, but instead I began to ponder the family that Jesus was placed into. Mary was an ordinary girl in an ordinarily town who was betrothed to an ordinary man. What was so special about Mary and Joseph? The Bible doesn't say a whole lot about either of them; of Mary it remarks that she "found favour with God" (Lk 1:30) and Joseph was referred to as a "just man" (Mt 1:19) when he graciously tried to end their betrothal quietly rather than subjecting Mary to public humiliation. The fact is, what Mary and Joseph did out of loving obedience to God, is that they had a baby, they had a home, they lived life in a normal first-century fashion.
Now this baby was the Lord Jesus Christ, God very God, and the majesty of what took place cannot be fully comprehended, but from Mary and Joseph's day to day experience, they were parents. Mary kept busy with her duties while Joseph was working as a carpenter (or builder). They had other children to raise and at some point Joseph drops out of the picture (presumably he must have died), so Mary had to continue life alone.
The lesson that we can draw from this and apply to our lives, is that our seemingly mundane life, with its daily problems and successes has tremendous value if lived under the Lordship of Christ! If God saw fit to place His only Son into the care of a normal family, then our normal families can bring glory to God without having to do "extraordinary" things.
2 Corinthians 4:7 says "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us". We are simple clay pots. The extraordinary thing is not us, but Christ. Just as Joseph and Mary were privileged with Jesus as a baby we are privileged to have Christ in us so that He can be glorified as He works through us in the day to day things of life.
Rethinking Church Growth
Wellsprings Church is a family integrated church that is now starting its fourth year and every year we have been in existence we have seen a steady growth of families committing to our fellowship. Of those that have come, especially in the past couple of years, nearly all have come from other churches. Because of this, it would be easy for us to become the target of the negative criticism that our church has grown simply by attracting people from other churches. Read More

Just did a chocolate porter this weekend, and the OG came out too high, 1.072. Was supposed to be around 1.064, but for several reasons I happened to leave the mash for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I made a 1 liter starter from one vial.
Do you guys recommend pitching another vial of yeast? The porter has started fermenting.
If it's already fermenting, there's no point.
And this is because the yeast will already have consumed the Oxygen I put in there?
Well, I hope the white labs 001 yeast will have the maximum attenuation
1 liter should be sufficient to handle this.
1.36L at 90% viability if on a stir plate. if not Mrmalty shows 3 liters with one vial. 1 vial in a 1.072 wort is under pitching if you ask me.
1 vial in 1 liter starter. We'll see how it turns out.
You'll be fine... I used to underpitch ALL the time, and I never had off flavors. As long as you've got healthy yeast, and you keep control over your fermentation, there's nothing to worry about in my opinion.

After struggling offensive in the first half, Sierra High's sophomore boys basketball team came alive in the third quarter behind a stifling defensive effort to knock off visiting Lodi 40-39 in its season opener Tuesday.

VALLEJO – The Manteca High girls basketball team bounced back from a three-point loss Thursday with an impressive 81-26 blowout over Deanza High.
ELK GROVE – The Sierra High Timberwolves rebounded from a tough first round loss in the Elk Grove Tournament with a strong performance in a 67-46 win over Florin High.
Ripon High captured its fourth straight Trans Valley League title this season and with it the conference's Most Valuable Player award in as many years.

MODESTO - Ripon wasn't always sharp on offense, but it more than made up for it on the defensive end during its Big Valley Christian Tournament opener Thursday.

Ryan Dimino can throw.
In his fifth season, coach Alex Nuanez has the Sierra High wrestling program trending in the right direction.

Window replacement in the PacNW: Collapse old frame, or cut out?
I'm getting estimates for replacing the 30-yo aluminum windows in my home near Seattle. The windows are original to the house, and the seals failed on most of them a long time ago. I'll be putting in vinyl double-pane replacements with Cardinal LoE-180 on the south side and LoE-272 on the north. The house has standard wood siding.
One company with an impeccable rating and a long history in the area proposes to collapse the existing windows' aluminum frames and use the existing opening. (Sorry, I am probably missing the correct terminology here.) To keep the [somewhat thicker] vinyl windows from jutting out unnaturally, they propose to cut into the sill/trim somewhat so the inner surface of the window will be an inch or so closer to someone standing inside, compared to the existing windows. I believe this would not involve the addition of any trim outside.
Another company, also with excellent ratings, would use the same technique only on the living-room bay window. Everywhere else, they would make a cut into the siding about 1 1/2" away from the existing frame, remove the old window as a whole unit, add a metal flashing strip at the top, nail in the replacement, and add 2x2 trim between the window and saw line.
For the experts here, which technique do you feel is best? I am sure that if I asked the company reps, each would have something derogatory to say about the competing approach.
Also, it seems that I am being driven toward windows by Comfort Design (formerly CDI, a small company out of Tacoma), by their willingness to substitute LoE-180 glass in place of the usual low-SHGC stuff that everyone else gets by default. Specifically, both contractors want to use CD's "architectural series." The claim is that this is a decent-quality line, superior to e.g. Milgard Style line. I've seen queries here before, but no informed opinions on how good the Comfort Design products are. Thoughts?
I am not a fan of collapsing the frames because you almost always disturb the flashing and there is no way to fix it. This is especially critical if your home gets a lot of weather. My vote is for the second company. Just be sure they tie into your old flashing and use compatible materials (flashing and caulk). Follow the ASTM and AAMA Installation Masters guidelines and you wouldn't go wrong.

What to do with a husband you can't trust?
Please help. I have been married for over 23 years and have come to the realization that my husband can't be trusted. He has lied to me since the day I met him. First, it was something small - he chewed tobacco and didn't tell me. When I found out, he said he would quit, and I believed him. Only he started again and kept it from me again. Finally, after several years and a big confrontation, he quit. Don't get me wrong I know that it isn't that big of a deal to chew, it is that fact that he deceived me. Then I found out that he had been buying phone cards and calling an ex-girlfriend. This was at a time when money was in short supply so that made it even worse. We had a huge arguement with him saying he wouldn't do it anymore. And I believed him. He says that he has never had an affair, but how do you believe someone who just keeps lying? He has told me that he won't tell me things if he knows that it will upset me or hurt me. Just recently I found pornography in his car. I confronted him and he said he didn't look at it that often, but knew it was wrong. He went to a weekend retreat to deal with the issue and came back saying he would do anything to get me to trust him again and really work on our marriage. My husband is also addicted to food. He is constantly eating out and hiding it from me. This wouldn't be that big of a deal, except that he uses money that we don't have. I had to take over the bills because he was getting us further and further into debt. But, he sneaks to the bank and gets out money anyway.
Please help me, I really don't know what to do. I no longer love him and have absolutely no respect for him anymore. We are both Christians and even though I do have biblical reasons for divorcing him, I don't think I should. At least not yet. This is also having a devastating effect on our kids, ages 13 and 15. They feel all the tension in the house and we no longer have a happy home. I know that I can no longer trust him. I even found out that he was stealing money out of my purse, so now I have to hide my purse whenever he is home. We have gone to counseling off and on, but it hasn't helped and we really can't afford to anymore. He says he's going to change but it never happens.
Any input or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. thank you
If you no longer love your husband,what is the point in trying to fix things.you can not live happily with a man you dont love ,no matter what he does to change.for everyones sake especially the children you have to move on.i can understand you wanting to try to save things if you loved him ,but you dont .so get divorced so you and your children can have a happy home again.life will not get any better if theres no love between you.
Why has counseling not worked?
Sometimes counseling doesnt work because the counselor is poor, but most of the time it's because those in attendance cannot see their part of the problem and are waiting for the counselor to "fix" the other person.
I assume your problem is the former - so look around for another counselor.
By the way, what is the punishment for telling the truth in your marriage?
Love IS trust.
Marriage is not only an emotional/physical/psychological connection, it is a daily business transaction. Your mate sounds like a poor business partner. You have countered by taking over the financial arrangements but he continues to deceive you. Every time you build another wall, he tunnels under it. It sounds as though your role is the policing mom, while DH is the passive aggressive child. He sneaks food, sex mags, money etc. to satisfy his needs while escaping your wrath. Outwardly repentant when "caught", he continues to go underground to get what he wants. Why do you feel the need to monitor what and how much he eats? Or whether he reads sex magazines? You are not his mother! Neither of you has an adult, equal partner. I think if you can escape these roles, your marriage may have a chance. I'll bet this goes back to both your childhoods and how you saw your parents act.
BTW, why muddy the waters with religion? If your married life has become intolerable, you have two choices: drive it or park it. And be glad we live in a time and society where you have the second choice.
"We are both Christians and even though I do have biblical reasons for divorcing him, I don't think I should. At least not yet."
If you think it will take another 23 years to figure this out, there's not much to be said. I don't know where your religion fits into this except for your description of your husband's flouting it.
My advice: Leave. Enough is enough.
Sometimes it takes someone losing what they think they wont lose to realize how bad they have messed up and to make them open their eyes to the life they could lead if they dedicated themselves to their family. I am learning this the hard way myself and just pray I get a chance to correct my mistakes.
I have a bit of a different perspective...hopefully you are still reading this. I have several points to make.
1st: your Christian faith is an important factor OF COURSE. Anyone that does not understand this may never understand. However...know the Bible. See God's heart...and assess the scriptures by that and not just what you have heard some pastor say. TONS of Christians talk like you should never divorce Biblically, but that is not what the Bible says. God made marriage for mankind...not the other way around! Relationships are challenging for everyone, and if we are truly living in submission to God's ways, we are supposed to learn and grow in any relationship because of all the good and bad. God never intended anyone to be miserable, but he did intend for us to stretch and grow TOGETHER in a relationship.
2nd: Love is a VERB. It is an action...in any relationship it takes work to keep that "feelling". You and your husband both have work to do in that area. You have to choose to DO IT! That old warm fuzzy feelling isn't going to magically appear, it takes time and determination. If you work on it, even alone at first, chances are your husband will be inspired to start trying to treat you with love again too, and that gets the ball rolling. Certainly not easy if you aren't feelling it. God will give you strength if you start asking for it! Really! Also...Chances are, especially if your husband is a Christian, he is carrying around a lot of shame which is debilitating sometimes. Feeling love and forgiveness from you may be just what he needs to start wanting to change. Forgiving him doesn't mean you are going to "let" him continue to be stupid. It is recognizing that it is HIS battle, and let his wrong crap be his wrong crap! It helps you start to separating his stupid actions from yourself, you can stop taking it personally. You need to see that it is his life he is screwing up, and you don't have to let him take you and the kids down with him. Even if you stay with him, that will be an amazing difference for you that will help you to stop reacting to him the same way, and you will hurt less and less. Forgiving him, and learning to stop worrying about what he is doing wrong, does free you up! It will be the catalyst that starts you on a path of freedom. You will start to see the areas of codependency you have. Read about what codependency is for sure. It is very important for you to start seeing how you are enabling him. Learn better how to set some realistic boundaries that are not made in moments of anger, and make sure you know how to respond if he crosses them. Boundaries do no good if you don't enforce them somehow-that's the tricky part.
My 3rd recommendation based on personal experience. I have found no Christian guidebook on this one! After reading the Bible more, praying daily for God's heart in the matter, researching codependency...etc. think about a split for awhile. Tell him you are not ok with being unhappy like this the rest of your life...BUT-do it after lots of prayer and submitting what happens to God, because you have to be ready for however he may react. FIRST- make sure you don't do it when you are angry. It works so much better! Get your heart in a loving, hopeful place first, and be so sweet to him for a while that he knows something is up. (Besides...you getting to that place first may do the trick with no split!). Be "sweet" for at least a few weeks first! It will take forgiving him first, and learning to quit taking his wrongness personally. VERY HARD. You will definately need to lean on God during this time, and you need some support. Go to a counselor on your own, or have a great support system of people who are supporting you with really good advice that is not bashing him or marriage-etc. Talk to him about the fact that you want to go into the split with the intention to heal your marriage-not end it. You may really have to put your foot down to make him believe you are serious-because you have probably been making idle threats for years. Like I said tho...do it sweetly with love and hope. Be genuine-not fake. Let him see your heart, admit your vulnerabilities and fears, but be strong and resolute at the same time. This helped me and my husband so much! Until I did this, I was not able to really understand the ways I was subconsciously codependent. I just couldn't see it! It helped me to let go of feelling like it was my responsibilty to "police" my husband. It forced me to recognize that he is going to do whatever he is going to do. It made him take me seriously, realize he loved me too much to risk losing me over stupid addictions, and finally get some help and do the work that was long over due. Our "spark" is back! It sounds like you still have some hope or you wouldn't be reaching out! Most people (esp. Christians) tend to look at a separation as the road to divorce...but you don't have to! That is just fear based. Make it about hope. Tell your children you are doing this because you want to make your marriage better, and relationships take work. If you and your husband can do it with determination to really work on yourselves during your time apart...your kids will be impressed with the new you(s). Let your husband come visit often. Spend as much time with him as you want-or don't! There are no rules saying how to do this...base it one day at a time and do it with prayer. It is easy to forget how to really talk to God...it makes all the difference. Talk and listen! You can inspire your kids for their future marriage too-that is important. It may be refreshing to them to see you and your husband choosing to work on it out of hope of a happy future together. Go into it with the understanding between the two of you that things MUST change in order to live out the rest of your lives together. God doesn't want anyone to be miserable! Expect great things and have hope. Choose to love. I'm praying for ya!
WOW. Sad to see many of the post here, but very impressed with KJ's post. Every thing she said made so much sense to me. I am having many of the same issue's in my marriage. SAD that we turn to other's to help us but we feel so hopeless sometimes. I love my Husband but am tired of it all, I don't want to end it, but feel so unhappy most of the time like you. I wrote my husband a letter tonight telling him how I felt about it all, how unhappy I was, and that we needed help. I hope he will seek help, but if not, I will pray about it, trust GOD to guide me the right way, and stay strong for myself and my kids. I hope you do the same. KJ wrote it better than I could ever express it, and I know I will be taking her advice. Thank you KJ. Good luck to us both.
Just came across this post..curious since it was written 2008, i wonder how the original poster has made out...I too had a similar situation..I found out my DH had another cell phone and he swore that he wasn't seeing the woman anymore, changed his cell phone number, deleted his facebook account, also went to a retreat. But then I caught him again...another phone found...I "forgave" again...Until during one of my million searches of his things..he forgot about his email account, I checked it and sure enough...messages from her. Thats when I realized..this is never going to stop...even if he DID stop..I was still never going to trust him again...I was constantly checking his phone, followed him everywhere and was nagging him about his whereabouts, even got the kids to be with him everywhere he went. This became my full time job and obsession. This was no way for him or I to live... And if I am honest with myself...The signs were there...We didn't share a loving or intimate relationship. His mind was always wandering.. I could see it...we tried to be a normal family again, vacations, home improvement...but he just wasn't "present" he was in love with someone else. We did finally go our separate ways and I am finally in a relationship with someone who loves me and I him equally. My ex is also with the woman who came between us. I hate to admit this but they are and have been a couple that we never were with each other.
My point is this....this was HIS issue...I am not condoning his behavior, but he did it and I had to choose whether to be a victim or not....I chose to be happy. I hope they did too.
