Pork scam bolsters good governance bid
CITY OF CALAPAN—Charges of kickbacks and misuse by legislators of billions of pesos in pork barrel, formally called the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), have resurrected a movement for good governance among city residents.
"We demand the abolition of the PDAF system and the prosecution of the culprits," said Resti Consigo, a Church-based leader who is among the convenors of the Alliance for Good Governance (All-Go-Go) in Calapan.
All-Go-Go in Calapan was formed following a series of dialogues with various sectors in the city. It gathered students, senior citizens, businessmen, doctors, lawyers, members of cooperatives, clergy members and seminarians, development workers, school heads and media people into joining a prayer-march protest at the city plaza on Sept. 21.
Ned de Guzman, a member of the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals, said "the pork barrel issue is everybody's concern because when one pays for a product, one is taxed."
Despite the rain, over 1,000 people joined the rally, which featured cultural presentations calling for accountability and patriotism, to demand the scrapping of the pork barrel. They marched from Oriental Mindoro National High School to the plaza.
On Aug. 26, more than 20 people convened at the plaza in response to the netizens' call for a Million People March to Luneta.
Marius Agua, a professor, said the pork controversy had revived the movement for good governance. A Facebook account in the name of All-Go-Go in Calapan has also been created. Madonna T. Virola, Inquirer Southern Luzon

Album Rating: 5.0"My dad got it for his birthday back in '97, heard it ever since"
Have you had a chance to hear this on vinyl? It sounds so f'n badass.
Album Rating: 5.0Agreed, Amnesiac gets my vote for best-sounding vinyl though
Digging: Hiatus Kaiyote - Choose Your Weapon
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffHaven't heard the vinyl yet, but my next vinyl-purchases (next month) will probably be this, Kid A and the Wall
Digging: The Story So Far - The Story So Far
Album Rating: 5.0Yeah I need to check that out on vinyl format. Amnesiac is a great album, but it gets overlooked by some people because Kid A and OKC are so amazing.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffWell, they are better albums IMO, but Amnesiac is still and excellent (4) album
Album Rating: 5.0I have OKC through to Limbs, except HTTT which I should probably get
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffSweet dude, I only own KOL on vinyl, rest on CD
Album Rating: 5.0HTTT is pretty good, but it was a grower for me. It didnt grab me as fast as King Of Limbs.
Album Rating: 5.0Cool man, I have all CDs but Pablo, why bother haha. A few sweet 12"s too, like Supercollider/Knives Out/There There/Go To Sleep/TKOL RMXs
I spend all my money on records it's a lil' silly
Album Rating: 5.0Sweet dude, I only own KOL on vinyl, rest on CD
I really want to hear that on vinyl.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffI've honestly never been a fan of HttT, unfortunately. I keep trying. It has some good songs. But it's just not working for me...
Album Rating: 5.0Both were growers, both are 4s
Would take HTTT to a desert island I think (outta the two I mean)
Album Rating: 5.0HTTT is barely an album, just a blast of songs. Keeps some sense of flow and coherence for a while but after There There it just trails off... some incredible material though, so still a 4
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffWell, it's Radiohead so it can't be bad, but it's definitely my least favorite of theirs
Album Rating: 5.0I'm pretty sure i have both of those rated a 4 as well.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off4 and 3 for me, I must admit
Album Rating: 5.0Which one did you rate a 3?
Album Rating: 2.5this is really solid stuff
Digging: John Wiese - Deviate From Balance
Album Rating: 5.0I still prefer it to The Bends and Pablo, on par with TKOL...
I love most tracks on HTTT eh, weak stuff like I Will and Punchup is still pretty good, it just doesn't have a lot tying the bloody thing together. If they went straight from There There to Myxomatosis it'd be so much better I swear
Album Rating: 5.0Takes a few spins to sink in Cygnatti, first couple times some tracks won't impress or will blur together. And then it'll rule all o' sudden

We know—it's April, and you're itching to put your new spring wardrobe to good use. But somehow those shorts, skirts, crop tops, and sandals aren't really matching up with the forecast just yet...unless you're OK with some mild frostbite. The good news is you don't have to wait for the temperature to change to break out your warm weather duds—at least not when you have a few good layering tricks up your sleeve.
Take blogger Vilde, for example. She's rocking one of our favorite winter-to-spring transition outfits by wearing a summer-worthy tank over a classic button-down. As you can see from above, this easy layering method works for anything from a sporty cotton muscle tee to a structured sweetheart tank. You can even try it with your favorite vintage tee or a fancier blouse. Just make sure your button-down is relatively slim-fitting (or at least slimmer than your top layer), so that everything lays smoothly. Other than that, this trick is pretty fool-proof and easy to wear with anything from your favorite skinnies to a mini and tights.
Check out some rad button-down and tank options below, and don't forget to fill us in on your favorite early spring layering secrets in the comments!

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Four Mesa police officers and a lieutenant are the subject of separate
internal investigations, one of which involves an officer who is
accused of flushing a 4-inch stillborn fetus down a motel-room toilet
and one of which involves improper use of force against a handcuffed
prisoner, the Arizona Republic reports.
A five-year effort by the police department and city to remove Dallas from the
top slot on an annual list of large U.S. cities with the highest crime rate is paying
off, as San Antonio took the top slot this year, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Internal prosecutor who handled the cases was dismissed, after the police union informed The Baltimore Sun that she backdated charging documents. The move prompted the department to drop prosecution.
Video of five Birmingham police officers beating an unconscious suspect was edited before it was turned over as evidence to the Jefferson County district attorney's office to use in the suspect's prosecution, authorities said Wednesday.
Drug charges were unsealed Tuesday against 15 officers: four Harvey cops, 10 Cook County correctional officers and a Chicago Police officer. The FBI orchestrated 12 fake drug deals over the last year.
City attorneys alleged that Officer Aaron Pena went to the Walgreens in the 1900 block of West Cermak Road in August 2007, bought two bags of trail mix and then took a third from the store without paying. Pena was recorded on store security cameras.

1) Andrew Bynum's Presence Is Exploitable
For all the talk about how much tougher Pau Gasol has become since the Lakers' embarrassing defeat to the Celtics in 2008, you couldn't tell the difference last night.
Don't get me wrong, Gasol has actually come a long way. He's become much more aggressive on the boards, reportedly added over 15 more pounds of muscle in the 2008 off-season and the 19 points and 18 rebounds he added in Game 7 were tough, scrappy and hard-fought.
Gasol was a far cry from that last night.
He couldn't seem to hold on the ball whether he was going up for an errant shot or throwing a wayward pass, it seemed like there was literally a slippery, slick substance on Gasol's hands preventing him from maintaining a better grip on the ball.
None of his three fouls were well spent, and although he managed to secure an impressive 20 rebounds, it seemed that every rebound he didn't get turned into a bucket for the Nuggets. Denver finished with an inexcusable 54 total points in the paint.
Lamar Odom is actually undersized for a 4 (although noticeably bigger than most 3's) and was unable to contribute much to the Lakers' interior defense.
2) The Lakers Are Still Not Without Their Offensive Struggles
Though the Lakers average a league-leading 112 points per game, they dry spells they suffered in Denver allowed the Nuggets to hang around and eventually win a game that the Lakers could have run away with.
It starts with the execution.
The Lakers threw up 29 three pointers yesterday. 29. That's more Phoenix Suns style basketball than the hard-nosed smash mouth basketball the Lakers won the NBA title with last year.
With Kobe Bryant struggling from the floor yesterday it didn't seem as though anyone could create their own shot and the only reason the Lakers were able to pout out their season average of 112 points was because of the second chance opportunities that came with +13 rebound advantage they secured in the game.
Outside of fast breaks, the Lakers had no mid to close range game yesterday. The only positive things the Lakers can take from Thursday's loss was Ron Artest's increasing comfort in the offense and the budding potential of Shannon Brown.
3) Kobe Bryant Is Reasonably Healthy
When Kobe drove past Chauncey Billups and threw down a two hand slam, it wasn't as powerful as a LeBron James jam, but was still a bigger a dunk than we've seen from Kobe in quite some time.
Though he did have major offensive struggles during the game, it really comes with the territory with Bryant.
Some nights he can't miss, others he'll still finish with 30 points -- but it takes him 40 shots to get there. Nothing catastrophic here though, the Nuggets have defended Bryant as well as any team not named the Celtics over the last two years.
As far as his Bryant's current health, there's nothing to worry about. That dunk is something Bryant wouldn't have even attempted last June.
4) The Lakers Are A Deeper Team Than Last Year
Point blank: a performance like this from Bryant and Gasol would have resulted in a Nugget blowout last year. The only things that really kept the game close were the live-and-die by the three point shot attitude the Lakers took on, particularly in the second half, the offensive production by Ron Artest and again, the development of Shannon Brown.
Matt Barnes didn't burn down the barn in any singular area but did manage to make his imprint on the game on a number of ways, notching 6 points, 3 assists and 3 boards. The stats didn't really do the man justice though, aside from a few ticky-tack fouls called on him, he was a big part of that spurt that gave the Lakers their first major lead of the game, a 38-30 Laker lead in the second quarter.
Ultimately, this is a much deeper Laker team and when Andrew Bynum returns and Odom takes on his role as the team's sixth man, they'll have arguably the deepest bench in basketball.
Though it won't matter much until they step things up on the defensive end.

I have datasets that are from tomographic scans, which I make a solid binary .bmp stack from. I then use another piece of software to create an isosurface of that, and then I generate a VRML from that isosurface. I can get a detailed model of 450000 faces, and it is watertight according to AccuTrans3d, and there are 7 edges (14 vertices) shared with 3 or more polygons. Not bad for a model of that complexity, I thought. .. but blender lights the model up like a christmas tree when I do a non-manifold check (1.35 million edges selected out of 1.35 million). I figured it might be an issue with Normals, so I checked in 3DSmax, and sure enough there were normals facing in, and others outwards. I unified these (automatically) and from my quick look, it seemed to work. Now when I upload the model, i get a manifold problem, and the same recurring issue with the manifold selection in Blender. I can't manually generate this mesh, because it is generated from biological data, so I need to fix it. However, I don't know what the manifold issue is that Blender is detecting. It is a single object, tested as watertight. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The Shapeways tute on Manifold problem ressureciton didn't really help because my problem is so massive. thanks for any pointers Kieran]]> kshort 2010-02-28T08:32:10-00:00 Re: The problem of importing from scientific imaging systems http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=10289&th=2100#msg_10289 Also, you want to make sure that you've removed all duplicate vertices before checking, with the limit set to zero instead of the default (0.001, I think). Because the VRML uses metres as the units, your numbers will likely be quite small, and both Blender and Shapeways are imprecise when checking for duplicates, so close vertices will be merged.]]> GHP 2010-02-28T10:12:35-00:00 Re: The problem of importing from scientific imaging systems http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=10291&th=2100#msg_10291 I made a quick tutorial how to create a printable file with netfabb: http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=1009 8#msg_10098 bye, Alex]]> aoster 2010-02-28T16:34:31-00:00 Re: The problem of importing from scientific imaging systems http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=10302&th=2100#msg_10302 I think Aoster might be onto something with netfabb..

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court's observation on the grant of sanction for the prosecution of public servants. The Court had explained to an extent the "legal position" for granting the sanction.
"This does not concern the Ministry of Home Affairs directly. Since it arises out of a criminal law, I will answer it. I have not read the judgment, but what I have gathered is the court has explained the legal position on sanction and has laid down guidelines to the competent authorities for grant of sanction," Mr. Chidambaram told journalists at his monthly press conference.
"This is a welcome decision. All sanctioning authorities will now have to follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court, but I am told that because the charge sheets [in the 2G spectrum case] have already been filed, the Court has not issued the writ of mandamus as was prayed for or issued any further directions,'' he added.

Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2009
Syrah/Shiraz from Barossa Valley, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Our homage to the great old Shiraz vines of the Barossa Valley and the growers who painstakingly tend and nurture them each year. The 2009 Factor displays the concentration and fruit purity that only the most meticulous farming can achieve. Delicate scents of wild blackberries, pipe smoke and pepper are supported by a dark core of espresso roast, black currants and coal. The palate offers tremendous texture and combines great richness with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather and minerals. Brooding and densely packed, this majestic wine has the constitution to cellar for many years where it will slowly unravel its extravagant riches.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Deep purple-crimson; this shiraz achieves its full-bodied weight with ease, indeed outright nonchalance; its bouquet heralds the blackberry and dark chocolate fruit to come on the textured palate, the ripe tannin and oak contributions in immaculate balance."
The Wine Advocate - "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 The Factor begins with lovely warm blackberry and creme de cassis notes highlighted by mulberries, mincemeat and dusty earth scents. Very big, rich and full, the palate has some dried berry character, a firm level of chewy tannins, balanced acid freshness and a long finish. Drink it from 2014 to 2024+."
Wine Spectator - "Ripe and spicy, playing its black cherry, smoke and cream flavors against fine tannins and a rich but open texture, finishing with plushness. This has the length and balance for aging. Shiraz. Best from 2015 through 2025."
Tasting Panel - "An homage to old vine shiraz;rich,powerful and balanced with ripe berry, dark chocolate and spice; dense, long and massive. "

Torbreck Winery
Torbreck, founded in 1994 by David Powell, is situated at Marananga on the western ridge of the Barossa. Since that time he has produced some of the world?s finest 'Rhone varietal' wines, exclusively from Barossa fruit; this has been acknowledged by the wine press in Europe, America and Australia. The overwhelming majority of his vines are dry-grown, nearly all are 80 - 125 years old and are tended and harvested by hand.
The wines have an extraordinary combination of power, intesity, complexity and great finesse, and bearing in mind the age of the vines and the laughably low yields, no Torbreck wine could ever be accused of being heavy, cloying or over-extracted. View all Torbreck Wines
About Barossa ValleyView a map of Barossa Valley wineries
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.
Barossa ValleyBarossa is red-wine territory, with red grapes consisting of about two-thirds of the region's plantings. The reds, Shiraz in particular, are lauded for their rich, concentrated flavors and aging potential. Old vines of Shiraz and Grenache are popular, many up to 80 years old. The valley is home to some of the most famous vineyards of Australia - this is where the first Penfolds Grange was made. Whites are also found, mainly from the Semillon grape – these wines are as full-bodied as the reds although harder to find. Riesling and Chardonnay are also planted.
Eden ValleyRight next to Barossa Valley, but a bit higher in elevation, Eden Valley is an ideal neighbor. Many wineries source vineyards from both areas as the climate difference in Eden Valley leads to wines of a different character. Reds are still mainly Shiraz and Grenache, but the wines are often more restrained and less dense than those in the Barossa Valley. Whites are popular here too. Eden Valley Rieslings and Semillons are particularly excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

1 rating, 1 with reviewKing Okra - Brentwood, CA58/21/2014
The complexity, structure, flavor, and aromas of top-tier Oz shiraz are all there in spades. I openly admit my preference for great Oz shiraz above all else (for the most part). I've had my share of the best from down under and this particular wine would definitely make my all-time top 10. It's the total package and at just $100, quite a bargain!
- Style
- Earth & Spicy
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Step Back From the Line of Fire, Batman
By Mark Draughn on September 12, 2014
Like, I think, most people, I first heard Junip's mesmerizing song "Line of Fire" in the promo for the final episode of Breaking Bad: Sometime afterward, I decided to check YouTube to see if there was an official video for the song. I found it here, but along the way I also found something far […]

Comic Genius / Comic Giants
By GaryO on March 22, 2007
While I was surfing for info on my last post on the TV show Rules of Engagement, I came across someone else's review of the show. They referred to David Spade as a "comic genius". Really?? David Spade? Some might argue that the phrase comic genius is an oxymoron, but it got me to thinking […]

What Madonna and I Have In Common
By Mark Draughn on March 14, 2007
Madonna has created a clothing line to be sold through H&M stores starting on March 22. What I find most surprising—given her infamous costumes over the years—is that she didn't already have a line of clothing. I've decided to take this as a sign that it's time for my own line of clothing. Even more […]

Why I Probably Won't See Borat
By Mark Draughn on November 14, 2006
Andrew Tobias has a friend who appears in a scene in the movie. Basically, the location scouts lied to him and pretended to be making a documentary about something else. Then Borat walked in and behaved rudely: I'm in "Borat"…much to my embarrassment. Borat tried to check into The Adolphus, and I had security throw […]

Colorblind Hollywood
By Mark Draughn on March 6, 2006
In Sunday night's Oscar show, George Clooney used his speech to congratulate Hollywood for taking on controversial progressive issues. He also mentioned with pride that the Academy gave an award to a black woman, Hattie McDaniel, in 1939. That's admirable, and the Academy deserves credit for its colorblind recognition of outstanding acting. However, before Clooney […]

I did dream that I could play professional basketball but I was way too short so I got cut by the highschool team. Hockey, same thing, all the bigger kids would easily knock me over, hit harder, shoot harder, skate faster, stronger on the puck. I was pretty crafty with the ball in soccer but I just couldn't kick as hard, run as fast and have the endurance as the bigger and more fitter kids. But I did play all those sports which helped with the athleticism.
But tennis is different, of course it's nice to be big tall and strong, but its not like those other sports where those physical attributes are absolutely necessary for success at high levels. Tennis I think is more about technique, speed and quickness, tactics and anticipation and of course the mental aspect. You dont need to be big and strong to hit the ball hard, thats why I think proper technique and fundamentals are so important therefore spent most of my time and energy on.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/256,293, filed Dec. 18, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is concerned with processing multimedia data files to provide information supporting user navigation of multimedia data file content.
2. Background of the Invention
The demand for hypermedia applications has increased with the growing popularity of the World Wide Web. As a result, a need for an effective and automatic method of creating hypermedia has arisen. However, the creation of hypermedia can be a laborious, manually intensive job. In particular, hypermedia creation can be difficult when referencing content in documents including images and/or other media.
In many cases, the hypermedia authors need to locate Anchorable Information Units (AIUs) or hotspots that are areas or keywords of particular significance, and make appropriate hyperlinks to relevant information. In an electronic document, a user can retrieve associated information by selecting these hotspots as the system interprets the associated hyperlinks and fetches the corresponding relevant information.
Previous research in this field has taken scanned bitmap images as the input to a document analysis system. The classification of the document system is often guided by a priori knowledge of the document's class. There has been little work done in using postscript files as a starting point for document analysis. Certainly, if a postscript file is designed for maximum raster efficiency, it can be a daunting task even to reconstruct the reading order for the document. Previous researchers may have assumed that a well-structured source text will always be available to match postscript output and therefore working bottom-up from postscript would seldom be needed. However, PDF documents can be generated in a variety of ways including an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) based route directly from a bit-mapped page. The extra structure in PDF, over and above that in postscript, can be utilized towards the goal of document understanding.
Previous work proposed methods related to the understanding of raster images. Being an inverse problem by definition, this task cannot be accomplished without making broad assumptions. Directly applying these methods on PDF documents would make little sense as they are not designed to make use of the underlying structure of PDF files, and thus will produce undesirable results.
In contrast to the geometric layout analysis, logical layout analysis has received very little attention. Some methods of logical layout analysis perform region identification or classification in a derived geometric layout. However, these approaches are primarily rule based and thus, the final-outcome depends on the dependability of the prior information and how well the prior information is represented within the rules.
Systems such as Acrobat do not have the ability to process images. Rather Acrobat runs the whole document through an OCR system. Clearly, OCR is not able extract objects, but even in the case of understanding text the output can be unreliable as a general-purpose OCR can be error prone when used to understand scanned in images directly.
Therefore, a need exists for a method of analyzing and extracting text from PDF documents created using various means.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for processing a multimedia data file to provide information supporting user navigation of multimedia data file content. The system includes a content parser to identify text and image content of a data file, and an image processor for processing said identified image content to identify embedded text content. The system further includes a text sorter for parsing said identified text and said identified embedded text to locate text items in accordance with predetermined sorting rules, and memory for storing a navigation file containing said text items.
The navigation file links to at least one internal document object. The navigation file links to at least one external document object.
The image processor includes a black and white image processor including a pixel smearing component reducing text to a rectangular block of pixels, and an image filtering component for cleaning a smeared image.
The content parser applies text extraction rules to identify text and identify a document structure, wherein the document structure defines a context for identified text. The content parser applies pre-defined hierarchical rules for determining a level of identified text.
The image processor applies object templates to identify embedded text.
The system refines a search resolution during a text identifying process to determine a location of the embedded text within an image.
Identified text comprises hyperlinks.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a graphical User interface system is provided supporting processing of a multimedia data file to provide information supporting user navigation of multimedia data file content. The graphical User interface system includes a menu generator for generating, one or more menus permitting User selection of, an input file and format to be processed, and an icon permitting User initiation of generation of a navigation file supporting linking of input file elements to external documents by parsing and sorting text and image content to identify text for incorporation in a navigation file.
Identified text comprises hyperlinks.
The navigation file further comprises links to at least one internal document object.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for creating an anchorable information unit in a portable document format document. The method includes extracting a text segment from the portable document format document, determining a context of the segment, wherein the context is selected from a context sensitive hierarchical structure, and defining the text segment as an anchorable information unit according to the context.
The portable document format document includes one or more textual objects and one or more non-textual objects, wherein the objects include textual segments.
Determining the context includes comparing the text segment to a plurality of known patterns within the portable document format document, and determining the context upon determining a match between the text segment and a known pattern of the portable document format document.
Extracting text further includes extracting text form an image of the portable document format document, determining an image type, wherein the type is one of a black and white image, a grayscale image, and a color image, and processing the image according to the type.
The portable document format document includes a known context sensitive hierarchical structure. The context sensitive hierarchical structure, including the anchorable information unit, is searchable. The context includes a location of the extracted text segments. Determining the context includes determining a location and a style of the text segment.
The method further includes storing the text segment in a Standard Generalized Markup Language syntax using a predefined grammar.
The achorable information unit is automatically hyperlinked.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for creating an anchorable information unit file from a portable document format document. The method includes parsing the portable document format document into textual portions and non-text portions. The method further includes extracting structure from the textual portions and the non-text portions, and determining text within textual portions, and text the non-text portions. The method hyperlinks a plurality of keywords within the textual portions and non-text portions to at least one related document.
Parsing further comprises the step of differentiating color image content, black-and-white content, and grayscale content.
Extracting further comprises determining a level for extracted textual portions, associating the context with the text, and pattern matching extracted text to the portable document format document to determine a context. The level is one of a paragraph, a heading and a subheading. Pattern matching includes determining a median font size for the portable document format document, comparing a font size of the extracted text to the median font size for the portable document format document, and determining a context according to font size.
Hyperlinking includes creating the anchorable information unit file, wherein the plurality of keywords are anchorable information units.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a program storage device is provided, readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for creating an anchorable information unit file from a portable document format document.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings:
The present invention provides an automated method for locating hotspots in a PDF file, and for creating cross-referenced AIUs in hypermedia documents. For example, text strings can point to a relevant machine part in a document describing an industrial instrument.
It is to be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms of hardware, software, firmware, special purpose processors, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the present invention may be implemented in software as an application program tangibly embodied on a program storage device. The application program may be uploaded to, and executed by, a machine comprising any suitable architecture. Preferably, the machine is implemented on a computer platform having hardware such as one or more central processing units (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), and input/output (I/O) interface(s). The computer platform also includes an operating system and micro instruction code. The various processes and functions described herein may either be part of the micro instruction code or part of the application program (or a combination thereof) which is executed via the operating system. In addition, various other peripheral devices may be connected to the computer platform such as an additional data storage device and a printing device.
It is to be further understood that, because some of the constituent system components and method steps depicted in the accompanying figures may be implemented in software, the actual connections between the system components (or the process steps) may differ depending upon the manner in which the present invention is programmed. Given the teachings of the present invention provided herein, one of ordinary skill in the related art will be able to contemplate these and similar implementations or configurations of the present invention.
The PDF files under consideration can include simple text, or more generally, can include a mixture of text and a variety of different types of images such as black and white, grayscale and color. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method locates the text and non-text areas, and applies different processing methods to each. For the non-text regions, different image processing methods are used according to the type of images contained therein.
The extraction of AIUs is important for the generation of hypermedia documents. However, for some PDF files, e.g., those that have been scanned into a computer, this can be difficult. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method decomposes the document to determine a page layout for the underlying pages. Thus, different methods can be applied to the different portions of a page. A geometric page layout of a document is a specification of the geometry of the maximal homogeneous regions and their classification (text, table, image, drawing etc). Logical page layout analysis includes determining a page type, assigning functional labels such as title, note, footnote, caption etc., to each block of the page, determining the relationships of these blocks and ordering the text blocks according to a reading order.
OCR has had an important role in prior art systems for determining document content. Accordingly, OCR has received most of the research focus. Page segmentation plays an important role in this domain because the performance of a document understanding system as a whole depends on the preprocessing that goes in before the OCR.
The present invention analyzes the document and extracts information from the text and/or figures that can be located anywhere within the document. The method determines the context in which these hotspots (e.g., objects or text-segments of interest) appear. Further, the method saves this information in a structured manner that follows a predefined syntax and grammar that allows the method to refer to that information while creating automatic hyperlinks between different documents and media types.
A flow chart showing the main stages in the graphics recognition process is shown in
In order to help application programmers extract words from PDF files, Adobe Systems provides a software development kit (SDK) that gives access, via the application programmers interface (API) of Acrobat� viewers, to the underlying portable document model, which the viewer holds in memory. The SDK is able to conduct a search for PDF documents. For PDF documents that are created directly from a text editor such as Microsoft's Word or Adobe's FrameMaker�, this works quite well, however for scanned in documents, the performance can decrease significantly. Additionally, for double columned documents, the SDK can be error prone. SDK was designed primarily for documents created using a text editor. Therefore, performance with documents created by other means, was not an important issue. The present invention uses an alternative strategy for scanned in documents.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method extracts words along with their location in the document, and the style used to render them. The method not only determines whether a certain word exists in a page or not, but also determines the location and the context in which it appears, so that a link can be automatically created from the location to the same media or a different one based on the content.
Referring to
The method determines the median font size for a portion of the text document and performs context sensitive pattern matching 207. If the font size for a portion of text is larger than the median, and if the text portion is small, e.g., the text does not extend more than a single line, the method determines this to be part of a heading. Upon determining a heading, the method checks the text level, e.g., whether it belongs to a chapter heading, a section heading, a subsection, etc. The text level can also be determined from the relative font sizes used and offsets from the right or left margin, if any.
Once the method has determined all the text information regarding the organization of the document, the method uses organization information to selectively create Anchorable Information Units (AIUs) 208–209 or hotspots. The method automatically or semi-automatically creates these hotspots in a context sensitive non-redundant manner based on the organization information.
The present invention provides a method for extracting images. What makes this problem challenging is that text may not be distinguished from polylines, which constitute the underlying line drawings. While developing a general method that would work for all kinds of line-drawing images is difficult, the present invention makes use of underlying structures of the concerned documents. The present invention localizes images according to the geometry and length of the text strings. These localized regions are analyzed using OCR software to extract the textual content.
Referring to
In PDF, an image is called an Xobject, whose subtype is Image. Images allow a content stream to specify a sampled image or image mask. The method determines the type of image 303. PDF allows for image masks, e.g., 1-bit, 2-bit, 4-bit and 8-bit grayscale images and color images with 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits per component. An image mask, such as an external image, can be embedded within the PDF file. For embedded images, the method determines a reference to that image, and based on the type of image and the file format, an appropriate decoding technique can be used to extract the image and process it 304. However, if it is a sampled image, then the image pixel values are stored directly within the PDF file in a certain encoded fashion. The image pixel values can be first decoded and then processed 305.
The method simplifies the images to extract text strings 306. The grayscale images are converted to black and white images by thresholding 307. The method looks for text strings in either grayscale or black/white images. Thus, if the image is non-colored, it is reduced to black and white.
For the black and white images, the method smears the image 308. Within an arbitrary string of black and white pixels the method replaces white pixels with black pixels if the number of adjacent white pixels between two black pixels is less than a predetermined constant. This constant is related to the font-size and can be user-defined. This operation is primarily engaged in the horizontal direction. The operation closes the gaps that may exist between different letters in a word and reduce a word to a rectangular block of black pixels. However, it also affects the line drawings in a similar fashion. The difference here is that by the very nature of their appearance, text words after the operation look rectangular of a certain height (for horizontal text) and width (assuming that the part numbers that appear in an engineering drawing are likely to be of a certain length). However, the line drawings generate irregular patterns, making them discernible from the associated text.
The method cleans the resultant image by using median filtering 309 to remove small islands or groups of black pixels. The method groups the horizontal runs of black pixels into groups separated by white space and associate labels to them 310. The method computes a bounding box 311 for each group and computes such features as width, height, aspect ratio and the pixel density, e.g., the ratio of the number of black pixels to the area of the bounding box.
The method implements rules 312 to determine whether there is text inside the bounding box and if so, whether the text is of interest. The method rules out regions that are either too big or too small using a threshold technique. The method searches for a word or two that makes up an identifier, such as a part number or part name. The method also rules out regions that are square in nature rather than rectangular as defined by the aspect ratio width/height as normally words are several characters long and have a height of one character. The method also rules out regions that are relatively empty e.g., the black pixels are connected in a rather irregular, non-rectangular way. This is a characteristic of line drawings and is unlikely to be associated with text strings. The limits in the above are domain dependent and the user has the ability to choose and modify them based on the characteristics of the document processed.
After the plausible text areas have been identified, the method uses an OCR toolkit 313 to identify the ASCII text that characterizes the plausible regions identified above. Once the method has determined the text, a pattern matching method is used 314 to correct for errors that may have been made by the OCR during recognition. For example, the OCR may have erroneously substituted the letter "o" for the numeral "0". If the method is aware of the context, such errors can be rectified.
The method keeps words and/or phrases of interest and saves them in an AIU file. Once the method has extracted and saved the text of interest, object parts, if any, are identified within the images 316.
To increase the speed of the method, the non-text regions of the image are parsed into blocks. A histogram of the pixel gray level or color values in these blocks 317–318 is then analyzed. For a color image, the method analyzes a histogram for the whole image.
The method implements templates of objects that are being searched for in the image. The method parses the template into blocks and determines a histogram for the blocks. The method determines locations in the original image of blocks that have a similar histogram signature as that of the template. Upon determining a match 319, the method performs a more thorough pixel correlation 320 to determine the exact location.
The method can begin with at a low resolution, for example, using 32�32 blocks. If a match is found, the method can reiterate at a higher resolution, e.g., 16�16. After the reiteration to a scale of, for example, 8�8, the method correlates the template with the original to find a location of a desirable match. However, before performing a correlation, the method binarizes the image 321, if it is not already in binary form, by computing edges. For the binarized image, the method performs a correlation for the edges. Thus, the method can reduce the amount of processing needed to process an image.
Matches are determined using a threshold 323, which can be set at 0.6�Ne where Ne is the number of edge points in the template. The method determines the information needed both for the text and non-text portion of the PDF files and the assimilated information is stored in AIU files 324–325 using a Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). SGML syntax can be used to create hyperlinks to other parts of the same document, or to other documents or non-similar media types.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the structure of PDF documents is defined in SGML. The structural information can be used to capture the information extracted from a PDF. The objects that are extracted from the PDF are termed Anchorable Information Units (AIUs). Since information extracted from a PDF document is represented as an instance of the PDF AIU Document Type Definition (DTD), and thus, well structured, the method can perform automatic hyperlinking between the PDF documents and other types of documents. Therefore, when the user clicks on the object during browsing, the appropriate link can be navigated to reach the desired destination.
After processing, each PDF file is associated with an AIU file, which includes relevant information extracted from the PDF file. The AIU file is defined in a hierarchical manner as follows:
At the root the AIUDoc definition encompasses the header, footer and the extracted information within the PdfDocX field.
Thus, an AIU file is a sequence of one or more parsable character data. In the example, the character data includes a string of ASCII characters and numbers. While various attributes relevant to PDF AIUs are listed above, additional attributes can be relevant for AIUs related to other media types. As mentioned before, the method structures the PDF document in a hierarchical manner. At the root is the entire document. The document is broken up into sub-documents. The AIU file starts with a description of the type of the underlying media type, which in this case is PDF. The document header includes four different fields including the underlying PDF file name, an unique identifier for the whole PDF file, a document type definition, which explains the context of the PDF file, and a more specific document description explaining the content of the PDF file.
The information extracted from the PDF file is stored within the PDFDocX structure. The PDFDocX structure includes a unique identifier derived from the identifier of the PDF file itself. The PDF document is organized in a hierarchical manner using sub-documents and segments. The segments have the following attributes. Once again, there is a unique identifier for each segment. The start and end locations of these segments define the extent of these sections. Based on the needs and size of the document, further attributes can be used as well.
The PDF AIUs include a unique identifier. The PDF AIUs can be of the following types: rectangle, ellipse and polygon. Each AIU also has a unique name. The BoundaryCoords field describes the coordinates of the underlying object of interest and defines the bounding box. The page field describes the page location of the underlying document. In case of rectangles and ellipses, the upper left and lower right corners of the bounding box are defined. In case of a polygon, all the nodes are defined.
An example of a PDFAIU file is given below. The link definition is described in the following subsection.
Hyperlinking for the PDF AIUs can be done manually or in an automatic fashion. Manual links can be inserted during the AIU outlining phase described before. However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the information extracted from PDF is stored in well-structured AIU files, the method includes an Automatic Hyperlinker to automatically hyperlink PDF AIUs with all other types of documents based on Hyperlink Specifications. That is, the Hyperlinker processes link specifications, performs pattern matching on the contents and structures of the documents, and establishes links between sources and destinations. Also important is how the link information encoded within the AIU files. Each of the objects encoded can potentially have a link. Since the SGML structure has been adopted for the AIU files and links are entities within that file, Links are also defined using a similar SGML structure. The definition and the fields are given below:
The Type defines the type of the destination, e.g., if it is text or image or video, etc. Focus defines the text that is highlighted at the link destination. Book represents the book that the destination is part of. In the example, since the main application is a hyperlinked manual, they are organized as a hierarchical tree, where each manual is represented as a book. Linkend, the most important attribute, contains the destination information. LinkId is an index to the database if the destination points to that. LinkruleId indicated what rule created this link. SubType is similar to the Type definition in the AIU specification above. Labels give a description of the link destination. There can be other attributes as well.
In the following, an instance of a hyperlinked AIU file is provided. That is, Link elements can be manually, or automatically added to PDF AIUs that are to be hyperlinked to their destinations during playback.
The SGML documents (including the AIU files) are preindexed using the SGML Indexer. This includes a dictionary listing every SGML element in the order they appear in the documentation and an index into that dictionary. Based on the user-defined link specifications, links are created using pattern matching on these dictionary files. For PDF AIUs, links can be created to and from them in this way. The main point to note about the hyperlinker is that the method is able to use this machinery within the PDFAIU authoring system by being able to structure the PDF information using the AIU specification language as explained before. This also allows the method to implement a hyperlink management system that can incrementally update link rules. The link manager software that uses the link database to keep track of link rule changes by using time stamps does this. Incremental hyperlinking is done either by changing existing link specifications or by adding some extra link specifications. When adding new link specifications, the hyperlinker executes the new link specification on all documents, adds new links without destroying the old ones. When a link becomes obsolete, based on the Id of the old link, the old links are removed. A similar procedure is adopted when adding new links.
After the hyperlinking has been achieved, it is important to be able to get the desired functionality while viewing. The current implementation modifies Adobe Acrobat� Reader™ and uses a special purpose software to achieve interprocess communication via a link manager. When the viewer is given a command to load a certain PDF file, while loading it, it also looks to see if an AIU file is available for that file. If so, it is also loaded along with the original file. For each entry, in the AIU file, a boundary is drawn around the object of interest. If the user clicks on any of the objects, the viewer communicates with the link manager with the appropriate Link Identifier. The Link Manager then executes the link destination. Often within a multimedia documentation environment, this means jumping to a particular point of the text or showing a detailed image of the object in question. In that case the SGML browser jumps to that point in the SGML document.
Having described embodiments for a method of extracting anchorable information units from PDF files, it is noted that modifications and variations can be made by persons skilled in the art in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that changes may be made in the particular embodiments of the invention disclosed which are within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Having thus described the invention with the details and particularity required by the patent laws, what is claimed and desired protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.

Fire Chief Keith Richter is proposing big changes to how firefighters are deployed throughout the county, including beefing up paramedic units in the day and reducing the number of firefighters overnight.
The plan, Richter said, is for the Orange County Fire Authority to address the new realities of fire service – firefighters are busiest during daytime hours and the majority of calls are for medical emergencies, not fires.
"It's time to change the model to reflect that," Richter said.
The plan would increase the number of firefighters on duty during daylight hours and create two-person teams to respond to medical calls.
Instead of hiring more firefighters, nighttime staffing in Fire Authority stations would be reduced and four-person engines would be cut down to three-person crews. The personnel would then be used to provide two-man paramedic teams throughout the county in vans or smaller trucks for medical calls.
Perhaps the most visible change would be that large fire engines would not automatically accompany medical trucks. The move would provide more efficient responses to medical calls where large firetrucks are not needed, Richter said.
Dispatchers would be involved in the process, asking detailed information in emergency calls to determine the appropriate response.
The changes could lower staffing costs, including overtime, and response times. How much, however, is unclear, officials said.
Currently, OCFA responds to calls within 10 minutes and 20 seconds 90 percent of the time, said Battalion Chief Cliff Bramlette. Officials will keep an eye on a pilot program to see how staffing and response times are affected.
Richter plans to present the study and his proposal to the agency's board at its next meeting Feb. 27. He will also ask the board to approve a pilot program of about three to six months.
If the program is implemented, Richter said, it would add 12-15 two-person teams. How those teams would be deployed has yet to be determined.
However, the two-person paramedic crews would likely work better in areas where the Fire Authority provides coverage over a wide geographic region, he said. That would mean areas such as South County – where OCFA provides services to most cities – would likely be impacted.
Some parts of the county – such as urban areas like Santa Ana and rural areas like the canyons – would not work well with such a program and likely not be involved, Richter said.
"I believe there's not a one-size-fits-all," he said.

If you have Renkus-Heinz speakers in your facility, I don't have to sell you on the quality! Power handling is excellent.
This auction is for one PAIR of the Renkus Heinz TRC 51T speakers. They are several years old but, only have about 100 hours of use on them as they were spares for special use.
These are marked as European made products, it is possible they are made by RCF an excellent company that supplied R-H with lots of components. They sound GREAT! So, if you have a space you need filled with very clear music, and can hang these on a constant voltage line, you are going to get a BARGAIN. I'm starting these at a fraction of what they went for new.
These compare favorably to the JBL Professional Control 25AV speaker...the usable loudness is just about identical...so, my starting price is cheap.
I put a 14 day return policy on these so you can determine that they are 100% good to go. Check my feedback, I don't sell junk.
You get what you see in the pictures. They will ship in the original factory carton.
There are no mounting brackets included in this auction. There are many options available to you for how to mount these and this way you get to pick what is right for you or, save the money entirely if used for control room monitors on a desktop!
Ground ship for lower 48 US states would be $20, insured, in original factory carton.

Private Mail Bag
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
A Private Mail Bag, Locked Bag or caller service is a term for a special form of postal delivery in some countries, usually a government department or large private company, which receive large volumes of mail.
Examples and variants[edit]
Like PO Box addresses, Private Mail Bag addresses omit the name of the building and street, and include only the number allocated to the user.[1]
- Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited
- Private Mail Bag 6
- Campbellfield Vic 3061
In some cases, a Private Mail Bag may not have a number:
- University of Sierra Leone
- Private Mail Bag
- Freetown
It differs from PO box delivery in that whereas the holder of a PO box has to go to the Post Office in order to collect mail, the mail sent to a Private Bag is dispatched to the holder by a mail contractor.
In Australia and Singapore, a Locked Bag is similar to a Private Mail Bag, but the holder must collect the mail at the Post Office, like a PO box. In the United States, this service is called caller service, although mail to a caller number is typically addressed as though the caller number were a physical PO box, as seen in the following example:
- Commissioner for Patents
- PO Box 1450
- Alexandria VA 22313-1450
In other countries, particularly South Africa and New Zealand, the term Private Bag is also used.
- University of Auckland
- Private Bag 92019
In South Africa, the Private Bag number may also contain letters.
- Department of Home Affairs
- Private Bag X114
Private Mail Bag addresses are often used in countries in Africa where there may be no street delivery service. In Europe and North America, where street delivery is more commonplace, large users may be allocated their own postal codes, and consequently need only use their physical address in correspondence; the postal code implies that the recipient receives mail by caller service.
Many major newspapers in large American Cities have their own postal codes, and as a result large newspapers can be sent mail without the street address of the newspaper. For example, the Washington Post has the unique ZIP code 20071.
