Andy Warhol, Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr., 1964.

So, it turns out hanging giant mugshots of hardcore bad guys on publicly funded buildings is frowned-upon.
In 1963, then up-and-coming pop artist Andy Warhol was asked to produce art work for the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, and he learned this lesson the hard way: His mural idea was approved, but when the coarse black-and-white mug shots, each roughly four feet tall, were actually arrayed across the pavilion's exterior wall, reality proved unpalatable to his powerful patrons. was covered up soon after it was unveiled in a cowardly (prudent?) act of censorship.
Read the full story: "Censorship: The Sequel, Starring Andy, Rocky, Philip, and Moses," by R. C. Baker.
The exhibition at the Queens Museum -- '13 Most Wanted Men: Andy Warhol and the 1964 World's Fair' -- runs through September 7.

someone just asked me for my LAN ID and I really dont want to ask them what they mean? I have heard of VLAN ID but never just LAN ID, what is this? do i have to have one? because I do not think i do?
In what context? I recon he means IP address. VLAN ID But why would anyone need to know that really?
Posted 30 June 2014 - 15:03
he said cannot be an ip address, he trying to set up a route (VPN stuff)
Perhaps he wants your MAC address then? But with so little to go on for all I know he could be after your domain username. It would be best if you simply told him that you're not familiar with that particular term and ask him to please clarify.

Where i work. LAN ID = your name on active directory (the login you use to access all various sites and softwares within your work)
Posted 01 July 2014 - 10:08
I have been in IT for 25+ years and that term is not a standard term that I have ever heard. Could be something some software spits out at you for licensing, could be your username, could be your IP, could be your mac.. Could be the port your plugged into the lan..
Your going to have to ask them to clarify what exactly they are after.
You mention vpn - that is not a standard vpn term that I have ever heard. And makes little sense in that context to be honest. Are you connecting to an internal vpn like a school campus? If so I would guess username to the network if anything. IPs change, and mac is really only useful on the local segment.
The only only one that is remotely possible is the LAN Address (The address of the remote network) I remember setting up a Juniper Site to Site VPN but yeah your right its not a common term.
Posted 01 July 2014 - 10:10
Posted 01 July 2014 - 10:48
That would not be LAN.. WAN sure, public IP ok -- what good would 192.168.1.x do me in setting up a vpn? - My guess is asking for his username to the lan. Which lan ips are mostly dhcp anyway, so kind of pointless to ask for it for setting up something like a vpn.
apparently he was asking for my ip+subnet of my lab so he could do some routing...was very confusing i think i annoyed him by just throwing info at him like subnets, masks, ips lol
Posted 01 July 2014 - 11:16
Posted 01 July 2014 - 11:37
Your lab where? At the location or remote to the location? The only real time a local network would really come into play with a vpn is if you have a overlap in networks. For example your local network is 192.168.1.0/24 and the network you are wanting to access via the vpn is 192.168.1.0/24 -- see the problem!
If that is the case, then you would need to do some natting to allow access, etc. Or other time local network would come into play is if I wanted to let you split tunnel and wanted to put local network in the allowed list of the vpn server when your client connects.
What country are you in? Sorry but Lan ID is not US term for your local network. Not in any parts of it that I have ever talked to IT people - maybe they say that in up in the Dakotas or something - I don't believe I have ever worked with anyone from there
Local network would be the term I might say what is your LAN, but I sure wouldn't throw on ID.. A network is not an ID.. An ID would point to something specific, not the network space your using.
Is it possible this is translation problem for the term?
Not heard it in the UK so....

Milan Lucic misses Tuesday's game vs. Ducks due to illness
|01.07.14 at 10:02 pm ET
Bruins left wing Milan Lucic missed Tuesday night's game against the Ducks due to an illness.
In addition to it being the first missed game for Lucic all season, it also marks the first time that the team's top line of David Krejci between Lucic and Jarome Iginla has not been intact. That line had been the only one to stay together for the first 42 games of the season.
With Lucic out and Jordan Caron (back) both out, the Bruins dressed seven defensemen, with Kevan Miller getting into the lineup.

TENNIS / Weathermen predict a gloomy picture for a few days
London: The Swedish pop group Abba's 'The Winner Takes It All' was racing to the top of the Hit Singles chart in Britain, Donnay wooden racquets were disappearing from the shelves of sports goods shops in Europe faster than pints in a Munich beer festival and Time magazine featured a blond, smiling tennis player on its cover, celebrating him as The Incredible Tennis Machine.
Roger Federer had still not been conceived, they played with white balls on the pampered lawns of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and Wimbledon's high honchos in pin-stripes were soon to be treated to a sacrilegious string of seven angrily spoken words — you are the pits of the world — by a certain American gent with a famous Irish temper.
Five-set epic
Welcome to the summer of 1980. And welcome, too, to a laid back, bow legged Swede who, on a memorable July Saturday that year, outlasted that lovable rascal John McEnroe in a five-set epic featuring a 34-point seat-edge play sequence which is known in tennis folklore as That Tiebreak. Was Bjorn Borg the greatest of all time? This was indeed a popular debate 27 years ago.
In sport, as much as in life itself, time doesn't fly. We do. And as we take wings, we often forget the past and allow its glorious essence to be diluted. Amidst the adulatory zeitgeist surrounding Federer during a year when critics, former players and connoisseurs alike seem keen on a consensus about who the greatest player of all time might be, it may not hurt to hit the rewind button.
Need to rewind
On the other hand, to get our arguments right, it may be necessary to rewind not only to the glorious era of Borg but also to the seven summers — in a span of just eight years — during which a self-effacing, upstanding Greek-American genius won a record seven titles on the hallowed lawns.
Time passes quickly in sport. But that may very well be an illusion. The fact is, this is not the first time that we have had to wrestle with the question 'Who is the greatest?'
Another generation of tennis lovers did it in the high noon of Rod Laver's domination of the men's game. Then, the question was asked in all seriousness in 1980, when Borg completed a rare back-to-back French-Wimbledon hat-trick. Fast forward 20 years and we were left wondering if any man who ever unsheathed a racquet was as good as Pete Sampras was.
On Monday afternoon, as Federer resumes his long march towards sporting immortality, opening his title defence against Teimuraz Gabashvili of Russia, the Swiss maestro with a keen sense of the game's history will surely know that the tallest of peaks are in his sights.
But even as he unveils, yet again, a grass court game of hypnotic beauty, Federer will certainly not be distracted by the big debate, no matter that a fifth title in a row at Wimbledon could be the capstone of his fame as a great champion.
Rain threat
Then again, it is not going to be an easy opening week for Federer; nor indeed for the groundstaff and the fans. There is so much rain around that the AELTC could even consider running a sideshow — the Wimbledon lawn swimming championships.
While even the all-knowing Google has nothing to offer on Federer's breaststroke expertise or Maria Sharapova's backstroke skills, the weathermen, for their part, have painted a gloomy picture for the first few days of the 121st championships.
But, then, until the retractable roof is in place for the 2009 championships, undaunted, the patient English will do their job and we can turn our attention from tennis to the other popular show of the fortnight — the wonderfully choreographed rain dance featuring the well trained groundstaff of the old club.
Borg may have company
Meanwhile, hang in there; and watch this space. In 14 days' time, we may very well witness a rare slice of history being made. Good old Bjorn, the original Iceman, might have company at last in the rarefied heights he occupies.
Is anybody good enough to stop history in its tracks? Try Andy Roddick or Rafael Nadal for an answer, although, if we did, the wise men making the odds at Ladbrokes might, over their afternoon cuppa, think that we may be prone to a touch of mid-summer madness.
The women's championship, in comparison, wears a more open look. Justine Henin looked good in the Eastbourne final on Saturday and will surely start the favourite. But Sharapova, Serena Williams and the defending champion Amelie Mauresmo will all fancy their own chances.

Film, Myth, and the Law
Listed in: Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought, as LJST-52
Austin D. Sarat (Section 01)
(Analytic Seminar) The proliferation of law in film and on television has expanded the sphere of legal life itself. Law lives in images that today saturate our culture and have a power all their own, and the moving image provides a domain in which legal power operates independently of law's formal institutions. This course will consider what happens when legal events are re-narrated in film and examine film's treatment of legal officials, events, and institutions (e.g., police, lawyers, judges, trials, executions, prisons). Does film open up new possibilities of judgment, model new modes of interpretation, and provide new insights into law's violence? We will discuss ways in which myths about law are reproduced and contested in film. Moreover, attending to the visual dimensions of law's imagined lives, we ask whether law provides a template for film spectatorship, positioning viewers as detectives and as jurors, and whether film, in turn, sponsors a distinctive visual aesthetics of law. Among the films we may consider are Inherit the Wind, Call Northside 777, Judgment at Nuremberg, Rear Window, Silence of the Lambs, A Question of Silence, The Sweet Hereafter, Dead Man Walking, Basic Instinct, and Unforgiven. Throughout we will draw upon film theory and criticism as well as the scholarly literature on law, myth, and film.
Requisite: LJST 01 or 10 or consent of the instructor. Limited to 15 students. Spring semester. Professor Sarat.
If Overenrolled: Priority given to LJST majors. Others admitted to balance by class year and major.
KeywordsWriting attentive
Offerings2014-15: Offered in Spring 2015

Dear CIA officials, former officials and conservative pundits,
Last night , I listened to a few of you blasting the CIA torture report that was released earlier, and upon reflection I have a few questions for you:
How stupid do you think we are?
On CBS, NBC, and ABC you kept repeating two justifications: 1) revenge for 9/11. and 2) to prevent future attacks, using the "ticking-time-bomb" analogy. I'd like to examine them, one by one:
The "Revenge for 9/11″ Justification: or, murder justifies torture, torture is justified by murder Continue reading

Particulars of Placeby Richard O. Moore
ContributorRichard O. Moore
One of the original circle of anarchist poets centered around Kenneth Rexroth in the 1940s--including Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Philip Lamantia, Madelaine Gleason, William Everson, James Broughton, and Thomas Parkinson--RICHARD O. MOORE stopped publishing early on to devote himself to a career in public media, as an early member of the first U.S. public radio station, KPFA, and later as a co-founder of the 6th U.S. public TV station, KQED. Along the way he became an important cinema vert filmmaker, directing such works as Take This Hammer (1963) featuring James Baldwin and the well-known 10-part series USA: Poetry (1966), which includes the only sound footage of Frank O'Hara. His two films with Duke Ellington, Love You Madly (1967), and A Concert of Sacred Music (1967), are the subject of an essay he will contribute to a massive photo-biography of the musician forthcoming from Rizzoli in 2013. Moore's first book, Writing the Silences, was edited by Brenda Hillman and Paul Ebenkamp and published in 2010 by the University of California. At age 92, he continues to write, working on a new MS, Particulars of Place. He lives in Mill Valley, CA.

Director Dexter Fletcher leaves Freddie Mercury biopic due to creative differences
His vision for the film reportedly clashed with producer Graham KingBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Director Dexter Fletcher has reportedly quit the forthcoming Freddie Mercury biopic.
Deadline says that filmmaker Fletcher, who made his directorial debut with 2012's Wild Bill and also helmed last year's Proclaimers-inspired musical Sunshine On Leith, has backed out of the project due to creative differences. His vision for the film reportedly clashed with that of producer Graham King.
Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen was originally slated to play Mercury in the biopic of the late Queen singer's life, but he also pulled out of the project because, according to reports, he and the band were unable to agree on the type of movie they wanted to make.
He was subsequently replaced by Skyfall actor Ben Whishaw. Speaking about Cohen's departure, Queen guitarist Brian May said: "You have to really suspend that disbelief – the man who plays Freddie, you have to really believe is Freddie. And we didn't think that could really happen with Sacha. That's not any criticism of his talent whatsoever, it's just a feeling that it was not going to work – that the pieces didn't fit together anymore."
Filming on Mercury is scheduled to begin this summer. A script has been written by screenwriter Peter Morgan, who has previously worked on films including The Queen and Frost/Nixon.

EPA and cng conversion of late model vehicles
I was considering starting up a low cost cng conversion business to convert gas guzzling vehicles to cleaner burning cng but the EPA says they must be certified by them which then doubles the price of converting these vehicles and makes it impractical and too expensive for the average person. I suggest that the EPA do a one time certification on the kit itself and that would give the business and the consumer an incentive to convert to a cheaper, cleaner solution to environment issues, reduce our dependancy on forign oil, and would create jobs

I suggest that the EPA not charge anything for these type of certifications if the results can be verified and repeated/duplicate consistently and continuously.
This is what he people want.
As it is now you can convert to CNG for about $1200 but if each vehicle has to be certified by the EPA it will cost an additional approx $2,500 and that goes to the EPA which is a waste of time and money when all they really need to do is do a one time certification of the product

Super Channel, Canadas only national pay television network is pleased to announce it will air Troy Ross vs. Steve USS Cunningham LIVE in vivid HD Saturday, June 5 at 1 p.m. ET.
Canada's Ross (23-1, 16 KOs), a two-time Olympian, best known for winning the 2009 edition of "The Contender" reality series, takes on former Cruiserweight World Champion Steve USS Cunningham direct from Neubrandenburg, Germany..
"This is a chance of a lifetime for Troy and we are confident he will win the title," said Yvon Michel of GYM promotions. "With the fight being in Germany we believe it will be an even playing field for both."
Michel said Ross was not concerned about traveling for the bout because three of his "Contender" bouts took place in Singapore and he has fought around the world as an amateur.
"He is very skilled, powerful and mature," Michel said of Ross. "We know Steve Cunningham and we have a lot of respect for him. It is going to be a very spectacular and contested fight but Troy will prevail."
Added Michel: "We are very pleased that we were able to come to an agreement with Super Channel to broadcast such a fantastic world championship event. It is great to see that Super Channel continues to support Canadian fighters and boxing as a whole."
In the other co-main event bout, also to be aired on Super Channel, IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester faces mandatory challenger Roman Karmazin. The undercard features heavyweights - Oleg Platov vs Kubrat Pulev.
Patience key for unbeaten featherweight Matt Sharp Shooter Remillard
MANCHESTER, Conn. (May 17, 2010) Patience is the key for undefeated NABF champion Matt Sharp Shooter Remillard, who is preparing to defend his belt as well as fight for the vacant NABO title, Saturday night (May 22) against Carlos El Rayo Rivera at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Remillard, rated No. 8 by the World Boxing Council, understands the business of boxing and, at the tender age of 23, he realizes his time will come. Hey, Ill fight anybody, anytime, the WBCs No. 1 ranked American featherweight said. I also know everything has to be right to put an undefeated fighter in a big fight -- money and television. My opportunity is coming, hopefully within the next year, and I will be ready. I just need to be patient.
My weight class is filled with action-packed fighters and for me to be rated No. 8 and the top American is an honor. I cant wait to prove that I belong by fighting a top 10-rated fighter. I leave all that to my promoter (TKO Promotions) and manager (Bret Hallenbeck). If I just continue doing what Im doing, Im golden.
The reigning WBA featherweight champion is Elio The Kid Rojas (21-1, 13 KOs) and No. 1 contender Israel Magnifico Vazquez (44-4, 32 KOs) faces rival Rafael Marquez for the fourth time May 22 in Los Angeles. The other top rated WBC featherweight contenders ranked ahead of Remillard are, in order, No. 2 Juan Carlos Miniburgos Burgos (24-0, 17 KOs), No. 3 Jhonny Gonzalez (43-7, 37 KOs), No. 4 Cholatarn O. Piriyapinyo (33-0, 19 KOs), No. 5 Justin Le Malin Savi (24-0, 16 KOs), No. 6 Doctor Oleg Yefimovych (18-1, 11 KOs), and No. 7 Daniel Ponce de Leon (39-2, 32 KOs).
Before Remillard gets his career-defining fight, he has to get past Rivera (16-4-2, 5 KOs), a crafty veteran from Florida. Riveras fought some good fighters, Remillard noted. Hes tough and always comes to fight. Im prepared to go all 10 rounds, if needed, and take home both title belts.
Home, for Matt, is Manchester (CT), not very far from Mohegan Sun. Ive built-up a good fan-base fighting in New England and Mohegan Sun has become my second home, Matt concluded. Its a beautiful venue with a great atmosphere and fans have been coming out to watch me and Peter (Manfredo, Jr. who fights Angel Hernandez in the May 22 main event, Remillard-Rivera is the co-feature) fight there. Im looking forward to fighting there again May 22nd.
May 18th, 2010, RENO - Former NABO, USNBC middleweight champion, and Contender season one alum, Joey Gilbert (18-2, 14KOs), will be returning to the ring on May 22nd at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno against tough veteran Anthony "Powerhouse" Bartinelli (20-13-2, 13 KOs).
Gilbert, who is coming off of an impressive stoppage victory of Ivan Stovall, looks to put his name at the top of the middleweight rankings once again. He turns 34 in June and realizes that the clock is ticking.
"This will be sink or swim for me." Says Gilbert. "I have to perform well. I have to win on May 22nd in order to earn the chance to fight the bigger fights. This is my last run at it."
Although Gilbert is coming off of a win, this will be his first fight back in his hometown since losing to local rival Jesse Brinkley in February of 2009. Brinkley, who is currently the IBF super-middleweight mandatory contender, beat Gilbert in a one-sided unanimous decision. Since then, he has changed his team, refreshed his outlook on boxing, and rededicated his efforts to becoming the best fighter he can be. In the only other loss of his career, Gilbert was on the wrong end of a close split-decision when his fight was prematurely stopped due to a cut caused by an accidental headbutt against world title challenger, Peter Manfredo Jr.
Anthony Bartinelli promises to be a test for Joey Gilbert. With a similar fighting style, the tough journeyman from Phoenix looks at this fight as his chance to gain the recognition he has never received.
"This could be a big break for me." Says Bartinelli. "I've wanted this fight before, and I'm thankful to have it now."
Both fighters find themselves at a crossroads. On May 22nd, it may be decided who continues down the path towards bigger and better things, and who will find themselves at a dead-end. The Gilbert vs. Bartinelli fight is scheduled for eight rounds.

Senior Robles goes out on top in final home dual with his 17th win by technical fall this season

*
Meredith won by fall in 2:13 to put the Sun Devils on the board
 *

Jan. 30, 2011

Complete Results

TEMPE - Anthony Robles closed out his home career in dominating fashion and Jake Meredith scored a win by fall, but those two victories were not enough as visiting No. 22 Cal Poly won a 40-11 decision in a Pac-10 Conference dual held Sunday afternoon inside Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe. The loss drops the Sun Devils 5-9 on the year and 1-3 in the Pac-10 while the Mustangs improved to 8-1 overall and 3-1 in the Pac-10.

Before the dual began, the program and over 1,400 fans in attendance saluted seniors Robles and Bubba Jenkins in their final home appearance. Robles would wrestle in the final match of the day while Jenkins, still recovering from an injury sustained a few weeks ago, was in each match, coaching and urging his teammates on.

The dual opened a 133 pounds with the Mustangs taking a 3-0 lead as Brandan Rocha won a 9-5 decision over Kalin Goodsite in his second match at that weight after wrestling much of the season at 141. The Mustangs grew that lead to 21-0 after scoring six points each in the next three weights. First up, no. 2 Boris Novachkov pinned ASU?s Carlos Castro in 4:46 of the 141 match before No. 12 Filip Novachkov scored a pin of his own in 6:29 of the 149 match over Tai Fukumoto. Barrett Abel won by forfeit at 157.

At 165, Te Edwards tried to halt the CPU run, but could not come out on top of a match filled with scrambles as No. 13 Ryan DesRoches won a 14-6 major decision to make it 25-0 in the team race. After and intermission to honor the alumni in attendance and a forfeit win at 174 for CPU?s Steven Vasquez, Meredith finally broke the Mustang scoring run to make it 31-6 with his win by fall in 2:13. Meredith shot in on Kelan Bragg and eventually worked his opponent to his back where he flattened him out and picked up the win.

The next two matches went the way of the visitors as Ryan Smith defeated Luke Macchiaroli with a 5-2 decision at 197 and Atticus Disney won by injury default at heavyweight over Levi Cooper as the Sun Devil big man could not continue after hitting his knee into the surround hardwood basketball floor. With that loss, the visitors lead stood at 40-6 with only one match remaining.

With a thunderous ovation, Robles took to the mat inside WFA for the final time in his collegiate career and gave the fans much to cheer about. After his opponent, Britain Longmire, continued to circle the center of the mat in the opening minute, Robles was able to corral is opponent?s wrist and then leg before scoring a takedown. Robles turned Longmire twice to build an 8-0 lead through one period. In the second, Longmire chose neutral and went for a shot, but Robles countered through it and put Longmire down for two more points before turning him twice more with the final turn giving the Sun Devils a 16-0 technical fall win, the 17th of the season for Robles, and still-perfect 24-0 record. Robles ends his career with an 18-4 all-time home record and won the last 10 in a row.

With their final home dual in the books, the Sun Devils will now turn to the road for the next two weekends where they will face three nationally ranked foes in a row. Next weekend, ASU will take on No. 15 Nebraska at 7 p.m. CT on Friday in Lincoln before facing No. 16 Iowa State at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday in Ames.

6 charged in P2-B Subic drug case
432 kg of 'shabu' being packed in boxes when cops raided house
More News from Christine O. Avendaño
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Police on Tuesday charged six persons with transporting and possession of 432 kilograms of "shabu" worth at least P2 billion and which were smuggled into Subic.
Charged were Albert Chin, Emmanuel Tobias, Coronel Disierto, Romeo Manalo, Joselito Escueta and Dennis Domingo.
In a 14-page complaint filed in the Department of Justice, Supt. Ismael Fajardo Jr., head of the Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drug Special Operations Task Force, said the six were found in possession and preparing to transport boxes of shabu.
The illegal operation was busted after an undercover agent was able to penetrate the gang as a helper.
The undercover agent met Chin on Aug. 3 and was sent on an errand by Chin to a house in Barangay (village) Sto. Tomas on Aug. 9 to pick up shipments of drugs.
When the undercover agent went to the house on Aug. 9, he found other people packing red foil packs into "balikbayan" boxes. The agent, according to the complaint, found "crystalline substances believed to be shabu" inside the foil packs.
Chin and the other suspects were loading the shipment into a white Nissan Urvan with license plate No. XBX-507 when the undercover agent called in his fellow policemen and made the arrests.
Two of the suspects tried to escape aboard a black Innova until police caught up with them in Floridablanca in Pampanga.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) officials said it is possible for illegal drug shipments to enter undetected because of the lack of harbor patrols in Subic Bay.
Roberto Garcia, SBMA chair, made the statement to deny a claim by Mayor Jefferson Khonghun, of Subic town in Zambales, that the P2 billion in drugs seized from a house in the town were smuggled through the free port.
The shipment of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) was seized by a police task force on Sunday as it was being loaded in a vehicle by several men in Sta. Monica subdivision.
In an Aug. 11 report, Senior Inspector Jelson Dayupay, Subic police chief, said the arrests were made after a five-month surveillance operation.
Khonghun said the illegal drugs could have been brought to Subic town by sea.
"But who is patrolling [Subic Bay]? It could not have gotten to Subic without passing through [Subic Bay]. There is no other route it could have gone through," he said.
To get to Subic town, vessels have to pass through Grande Island, the area being developed into a coal-fired plant and the Hanjin shipyard, Khonghun said.
But Garcia said: "We monitor all ships entering Subic Bay, except bancas and small boats."
"There is no evidence drugs entered through the free port. [It is] possible it was [smuggled through a] small boat or banca direct into Subic town," Garcia said.
Garcia said the SBMA's vessel tracking system could not pick out bancas because these are too small. With a report from Robert Gonzaga, Inquirer Central Luzon

Systems and methods are provided for adding and displaying interactive annotations for existing online hosted videos. A graphical annotation interface allows the creation of annotations and association of the annotations with a video. Annotations may be of different types and have different functionality, such as altering the appearance and/or behavior of an existing video, e.g. by supplementing it with text, allowing linking to other videos or web pages, or pausing playback of the video. Authentication of a user desiring to perform annotation of a video may be performed in various manners, such as by checking a uniform resource locator (URL) against an existing list, checking a user identifier against an access list, and the like. As a result of authentication, a user is accorded the appropriate annotation abilities, such as full annotation, no annotation, or annotation restricted to a particular temporal or spatial portion of the video.

This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 61/058,459, filed on Jun. 3, 2008, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosed embodiments relate generally to the collaborative generation of interactive features for digital videos, and in particular to interactive video annotations enabling control of video playback locations and creation of interactive games.
Conventional web-based systems permitting the storage and display of digital videos typically only support traditional playback of a video using conventional controls such as those for manually starting, stopping, or pausing a video, for manually setting playback to begin at a different portion of the video, and the like.
The present invention includes systems and methods for modifying playback of online hosted videos via interactive annotations, allowing the creation of interactive games.
A video may have associated with it one or more annotations, which modify the appearance and/or behavior of a video as it was originally submitted to an online video hosting site. Some examples of annotations are graphical text box annotations, which display text at certain locations and certain times of the video, and pause annotations, which halt playback of the video at a specified time within the video. Some annotations, e.g. a graphical annotation (such as a text box annotation) comprising a link to a particular portion of a target video, are associated with a time of the target video, which can be either the video with which the annotation is associated, or a separate video. Selecting such annotations causes playback of the target video to begin at the associated time. Such annotations can be used to construct interactive games using videos, such as a game in which clicking on different portions of a video leads to different outcomes.
The features and advantages described in this summary and the following detailed description are not all-inclusive. Many additional features and advantages will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the drawings, specification, and claims presented herein.
The figures depict various embodiments of the present invention for purposes of illustration only. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from the following discussion that alternative embodiments of the structures and methods illustrated herein may be employed without departing from the principles of the invention described herein.
A client 130 executes a browser 132, and connects to the front end server 124 via a network 105, which is typically the Internet, but may also be any network, including but not limited to a LAN, a MAN, a WAN, a mobile, wired or wireless network, a private network, or a virtual private network. While only a single client 130 and browser 132 are shown, it is understood that very large numbers (e.g., millions) of clients are supported and can be in communication with the video hosting server 108 at any time. The client 130 may include a variety of different computing devices. Examples of client devices 130 are personal computers, digital assistants, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, mobile phones, smart phones or laptop computers. As will be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, the present invention is not limited to the devices listed above.
In some embodiments, the browser 132 includes an embedded video player 134 such as, for example, the Flash™ player from Adobe Systems, Inc. or any other player adapted for the video file formats used in the video hosting video hosting server 108. A user can access a video from the video hosting server 108 by browsing a catalog of videos, conducting searches on keywords, reviewing play lists from other users or the system administrator (e.g., collections of videos forming channels), or viewing videos associated with a particular user group (e.g., communities).
Video server 126 receives uploaded media content from content providers and allows content to be viewed by client 130. Content may be uploaded to video server 126 via the Internet from a personal computer, through a cellular network from a telephone or PDA, or by other means for transferring data over network 105 known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Content may be downloaded from video server 126 in a similar manner; in one embodiment media content is provided as a file download to a client 130; in an alternative embodiment, media content is streamed client 130. The means by which media content is received by video server 126 need not match the means by which it is delivered to client 130. For example, a content provider may upload a video via a browser on a personal computer, whereas client 130 may view that video as a stream sent to a PDA. Note also that video server 126 may itself serve as the content provider. Communications between the client 130 and video hosting server 108, or between the other distinct units of
Users of clients 130 can also search for videos based on keywords, tags or other metadata. These requests are received as queries by the front end server 124 and provided to the video server 126, which is responsible for searching the video database 128 for videos that satisfy the user queries. The video server 126 supports searching on any fielded data for a video, including its title, description, tags, author, category and so forth.
Users of the clients 130 and browser 132 can upload content to the video hosting server 108 via network 105. The uploaded content can include, for example, video, audio or a combination of video and audio. The uploaded content is processed and stored in the video database 128. This processing can include format conversion (transcoding), compression, metadata tagging, and other data processing. An uploaded content file is associated with the uploading user, and so the user's account record is updated in the user database 140 as needed.
For purposes of convenience and the description of one embodiment, the uploaded content will be referred to a "videos", "video files", or "video items", but no limitation on the types of content that can be uploaded are intended by this terminology. Each uploaded video is assigned a video identifier when it is processed.
The user database 140 is responsible for maintaining a record of all users viewing videos on the website. Each individual user is assigned a user ID (also referred to as a user identity). The user ID can be based on any identifying information, such as the user's IP address, user name, or the like. The user database may also contain information about the reputation of the user in both the video context, as well as through other applications, such as the use of email or text messaging. The user database may further contain information about membership in user groups, e.g. a group of users that can view the same annotations. The user database may further contain, for a given user, a list of identities of other users who are considered friends of the user. (The term "list", as used herein for concepts such as lists of authorized users, URL lists, and the like, refers broadly to a set of elements, where the elements may or may not be ordered.)
The video database 128 is used to store the received videos. The video database 128 stores video content and associated metadata, provided by their respective content owners. The video files have metadata associated with each file such as a video ID, artist, video title, label, genre, and time length.
An annotation server 150 provides the ability to view and add annotations to videos in the video database 128. The annotation server 150 collects various annotations—such as text boxes, "thought bubbles", and the like—from uploads by a user or the owner of a video, from publishers, or as a result of video analysis techniques. It then stores these annotations within an annotation database 154. The annotation server 150 also provides to entities such as the client 130 or the video hosting server 108, for a given video, annotations stored within the annotation database 154 for that video. Generally, an annotation modifies the behavior of an otherwise non-interactive video, providing interactive overlays with which a user can interact, or altering the usual flow of playback of the video, for example. Examples of interactive overlays include text boxes, thought bubbles, spotlights, hyperlinks, menus, polls, and the like, any of which can have an arbitrarily sophisticated user interface behavior. In one embodiment, the annotation server 150 is on a separate physical server from the video hosting server 108, although in other embodiments the annotation functionality is included within the video hosting server 108.
The annotation database 154 maintains an association between each annotation and the appropriate portion of the annotated video. In one embodiment, for example, the annotation database 154 stores an identifier of the annotation type (e.g., a text box) along with any information associated with that type (e.g., a text caption), a time stamp(s) of the video to which the annotation applies (e.g., from time 01:05 to time 01:26), an identifier of the video which the annotation annotates, and an identifier of a user who submitted the annotation (e.g., a username). Some types of annotation may also be associated with a link to another web page, video, network object, or the like. Many other storage implementations for annotations would be equally possible to one of skill in the art.
A video analysis module 152 can be used by the annotation server 150 to automatically generate annotations, or to suggest them to a user. This can entail techniques such as speech analysis, vision analysis (e.g., face detection, object recognition, and optical character recognition (OCR)), or crawling annotations explicitly or implicitly available.
Since annotation of videos may be accomplished from remote locations over the network 105 by a variety of users, an authentication mechanism can be used to restrict annotations to only a subset of users. Thus, an authentication server 170 is provided to verify access by clients 130 to annotation functionality of the annotation server 150. As described further below, authentication may be performed in a number of ways in different embodiments, such as using secret links, access control lists, user credibility scores, or permissions based on community moderation. In one embodiment, a three-tiered permissions system is employed, with a first, lowest permission tier for users who can only view and interact with annotations of a video by clicking on links, a second, higher permission tier for those users who can add or modify their own annotations, and a third, highest permission tier for those users who can also modify and delete any annotations in the video. The use of secret links employs a URL list 171, which associates videos with a URL through which access to an annotation interface is obtained. In one embodiment, the authentication server 170 is implemented as a component of video hosting server 108.
Any of these annotation types may also have arbitrarily sophisticated presentation, such as shape and text coloring and styling, or associated actions, such as displaying additional annotations or redirecting the user to a target web-based location such as a uniform resource locator (URL) upon being activated, such as by a mouse click, mouse over, press of a key corresponding to the annotation, or the like. The target location to which control is transferred could include an advertisement, or content including an advertisement. For example, clicking on spotlight 215 could lead to a web page describing a particular product. The target location could also cause display of an object or scene taken from a different perspective, e.g. the back side of an object taken from a different camera angle. Additionally, the target location could have a link, button, or annotation that transfers control back to the original video, instead of to a different video. In one embodiment, control can be transferred back to a particular moment in the original video, e.g., as specified by a URL encoding the video identifier and an identifier of a time in the video, such as "t=0:22", denoting a time 22 seconds into the video. For example, in one embodiment, specifying a URL http://www.videosite.com/watch?v=9xEEyO9q&t=0:22 as the target video causes playback of the video identified in the video database 128 by the identifier "9xEEyO9q" at a time 22 seconds into the video. In one embodiment, specifying a time but omitting the video identifier causes playback of the current video at the specified time. Such uses of time stamps in URLs can be used to construct, for example, a branching series of pages, which can be used to create an interactive storyline within a single video. This allows, for example, rapid transfer to another video portion, without the delay entailed by obtaining a different video. In one embodiment, an annotation can be displayed conditionally, for example if a user mouses over another annotation, when that other annotation is displayed either at the same time or a later time.
Annotations may also be added to modify the playback of the video, rather than to present an interactive graphical interface. For example, a pause annotation causes playback of the video to halt for a given time delay, including an unlimited time. This allows, for example, an arbitrary amount of time for users to make a choice before the video continues. Using the time stamps in URLs as described above, one can modify the playback of a video so that, for example, clicking (or even positioning the mouse over) a door will seek to the portion of the video that displays the door opening and the room behind it. This can increase the level of interactivity in a video to a degree similar to that of a computer game.
The use of various types of annotations can be used to modify standard linear video viewing in a number of different ways. They could be used to implement, for example, a menu-style interface, in which the video displays several choices via annotations with links to other pages, and then pauses the video to allow the user to select one of the choices. The menu items could be still annotations, animated video annotations, and the like, and could be displayed in a traditional list of items, as separate labeled visual objects, or in a variety of other manners. They could also be used to implement branching storylines, where clicking on one annotation leads to one continuation of the video, and clicking on a different annotation leads to a different continuation. For example, annotations could be used to implement an interactive game of "rock, paper, scissors", in which, for instance, clicking on an annotation corresponding to a "rock", "paper", or "scissors" menu item leads to a separate video or portion of the same video depicting a tie, a win, or a loss, respectively, each outcome potentially leading to the display of additional annotations representing a second round of the game. For example,
Another example is a game in which a user clicks or selects annotations indicating various forks in a storyline of a video. If a user chooses a first annotation, the video jumps to a first portion of the video or to a second video. If a user chooses a second annotation, the video jumps to a second portion of the video or to a third video. Thus, a game where the user chooses the progression of the story is implemented. Such a game could be supported by a single video having all possible jump destinations in it, by multiple videos, each representing the destination of various jumps, or by a combination of a video with most of the jump destinations and other videos with the remainder of the destinations.
As an alternative or addition to manually creating the annotations using the user interface of
One example for such analysis is face detection, which can be used in the video of
Another example could include applying object recognition methods based on local descriptor matching. (See, for example, "A Performance Evaluation of Local Descriptors", Mikolajczyk, K.; Schmid, C., IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Volume 27, Issue 10:1615-1630). Such object recognition can identify instances of known textured objects, such as locations, buildings, books, CD covers, and the like. (Example images for training recognition of such objects can be readily found in product/location catalogs which associate the product name with one or more images of the product). Once an object, such as the cover of a particular CD, is detected, the manual annotation process can be simplified by providing an educated guess regarding the object's spatial and temporal positioning.
Recognized objects can then be associated with annotations, such as links presenting more information, e.g. from a given viewpoint. For example, events can be presented from a national perspective by using object recognition to identify objects associated with a certain nationality and presenting associated information, e.g. associating, with the Indian team members of a cricket match, a link to the next event that the team will be participating in. As another example, an athlete recognized using object recognition can be associated with a link or other annotation data that provides statistics, personal information, etc. on the athlete.
Additionally, in conjunction with a search index of a search engine such as Google™ or YouTube™, if an object in a video is indeed recognized, then a phrase describing that product could be executed against the search index and the top search result suggested as a link for the object (e.g., searching for the title of a recognized music CD and linking to a product search page corresponding to that title).
In one embodiment, an annotation link corresponds to a search query so that if a user clicks on the annotation, the user will see a search result page for the query. For example, a user may view all videos posted by a person in the video who has been identified by the user and whose name has been used as a search term. This type of annotation allows the results page to be up to date since a search on a search term associated with an annotation will not always yield the same results page.
Object recognition could further be used to identify locations of interest, and in combination with "geotagged" videos in which location information is embedded, videos related to the recognized location could be provided or suggested as links.
Object recognition could further be augmented by tracking the movement of the object across frames, thereby moving any associated annotations along with it. For example, if the boy moved his position in the various frames of the video, object recognition could be used to track the boy's face as he moves and to automatically reposition the text bubble 210 near the detected face in each frame. This would be a type of annotation that moves within the frame in connection with an object in the frame. In the case of a Flash player, analysis of the video would preferably be done on the server while display of the annotation in different frame locations during video play would generally be achieved within the player as the object moves within the video.
Yet another type of analysis is optical character recognition (OCR), the details of which are known to one of skill in the art. For example, words on a billboard could be recognized using OCR and a corresponding textual caption automatically provided or suggested for the billboard.
Referring again to
In another embodiment, the owner of the video grants access to users by providing them with a special URL associated with that video. For example, referring again to
In yet another embodiment, the owner may grant annotation permissions to particular users of the video hosting server 108, e.g. by specifying a list of authorized usernames. The permissions can be to annotate, in which case any user on the list would be provided with an annotation interface when viewing that video. In another embodiment, the permissions are to suggest annotations, in which case the user interface would allow tentative annotations to be added but not actually displayed during playback until approved by the owner or other authorized user. The permissions could also be restricted to allowing annotation of particular temporal portions or physical areas of the video. This can be implemented by allowing the owner to define a "collaborative region" in his or her video using the same spatial and temporal controls provided by the annotations editor, such as by specifying a time range using controls such as the time range control 310B of
In yet another embodiment, the access control lists need not be strictly predefined by the owner or other authorized users, but can be dynamically determined based on external factors. For example, the lists could be based on credibility scores of the user (the credibility scores being calculated by, e.g., monitoring how many previous annotations by this contributor were deleted by content owners, or by community moderation actions such as users expressing approval or disapproval of the user's video ratings, such as via "thumbs-up" or "thumb-down" indicators) or of those considered friends of the user in the user database 140 (e.g., based on activities such as active email exchanging, or on explicit indications of friendship, such as adding someone to a "friends" list).
In still another embodiment, annotations are defined in a layered approach in which the creator of the annotation determines visibility of the annotation at video playback time. In this approach, different users or groups of users may freely define their own annotations, but the resulting annotations will only be visible to those users or groups when the video is played.
After the authorization server 170 has determined which annotation interface the user is authorized to see—such as the interfaces of
A similar process occurs when viewing an annotated video. First, the client 130 requests a video from the video server 108 using the network 105. The front end server 124 of the video hosting server 108 receives the request and delegates to the video server 126, which obtains the video from the video database 128. The video hosting server 108 then obtains the appropriate annotations from the annotation database 154 of the annotation server, optionally subject to authentication of the user by the authorization server 170. In one embodiment, the video hosting server obtains all the annotations for the video as the video is being loaded. In other embodiments, annotations are streamed as the video progresses, or are sent in several predefined chunks.
The annotations that are appropriate can vary in different embodiments. In one embodiment, all annotations are provided, regardless of the user's identity. In another embodiment in which layers are employed, only those annotations created by the user viewing the video, or by members of a group to which the user belongs, are provided. The annotation server 150 may also convert the annotations to a suitable format for the particular client 130 based on knowledge about the client; for example, a translation of the text of the annotation can be performed if the client is in a locale with a language different from that of the annotation, and annotations not supported by the client, such as animated video annotations for a simple client limited to text, can be suppressed.
With the proper set of annotations selected and suitably formatted, the annotation server 150 then provides these annotations to the client 130, which displays them in conjunction with the playing video, thus modifying the appearance and/or behavior of the video, e.g. using the types of annotations described above in conjunction with
It is appreciated that the exact components and arrangement thereof, the order of operations, and other aspects of the above description are purely for purposes of example, and a wide variety of alternative component arrangements and operation orders would be equally possible to one of skill in the art.

DETROIT – Dougie Hamilton said he hadn't heard too much chirping from his teammates about it, but he was laughing along with everybody else at being mentioned in Jimmy Fallon's monologue during last night's Tonight Show on NBC. Fallon gave out some NHL Tonight Show Superlatives to random players, and Bruins players Brad Marchand, Zdeno Chara and Hamilton both mentioned along with a number of Pittsburgh Penguins players.
Marchand was voted "Most Likely to Play a Pizza Delivery Guy in a 1980s Movie about Skiing", Hamilton was voted "Easiest to Replicate as a BobbleHead", and Chara was voted as "Most Likely to be Two Humans Sewn Together." Hamilton has also famously had his head shot placed side-by-side next to the muppet Beaker in an Internet meme, so this kind of stuff has become old hat for the 20-year-old defenseman.
"I don't even really know what it means," said Hamilton. "I guess it's just cool to be mentioned on that show, and not get chirped too hard. Nobody really gave it to me this morning, but Chad [Johnson] saw it last night and told me about it. I think I've already been on there before for the same sort of thing, so I guess [I just have] a good head shot."
It's pretty clear the Penguins got the worst of it in Fallon's comments, with Beau Bennett boasting his unforgivable frosted tips and both Matt Niskanen and Simon Despres getting the business for head shots that make them appear "cross-eyed."
