1. Technical Field
This invention relates to the field computer task automation interfacing and more particularly to such an interface having audible text-to-speech (TTS) messages.
2. Description of the Related Art
For some time computer software applications have included help screens or windows containing information for assisting users troubleshoot problems or accomplish computer-related tasks. More and more, this assistance takes the form of user interfaces that carry out and guide the user through complicated tasks and problem-solving procedures on a step-wise basis. These user interfaces are particularly well-suited for complex or infrequently-performed tasks. One type of such interfaces includes "wizards" utilized in software applications by International Business Machines Corporation and Microsoft Corporation.
Typically, these interfaces are initiated automatically, but may also be called up by a user as needed from anywhere in a software application. If an interface is initiated by the user, typically the user is prompted for information regarding the nature of the desired task so that the proper steps may be performed. Depending upon the task, the user is also prompted to supply information needed to carry out the task, such user identification, device parameters or file locations.
Such interfaces may be used, for example, to correct recognition errors when using speech recognition software, or when installing E-mail software to prompt the user to supply the telephone number and address protocol of an Internet provider as well as other such information. Another application of these interfaces is setting up and configuring hardware devices, such as modems and printers.
Typically, these interfaces display text stating instructions for carrying out each step of the task. The text may be lengthy or contain unfamiliar technical terms such that users are inclined to rapidly skim through, or completely ignore, the instructions. Some users simply choose to perform the task by trial and error. In either case, users may input the wrong information or advance to an unintended step. At a minimum, this will require the user to reenter the information or repeat the step or procedure. In some cases, such as when configuring a hardware device, the error may render the device inoperable until it is properly configured.
To improve readability and the likelihood that the instructions are conveyed to the user, most interfaces include graphical representations of key information or instructions. Additionally, some interfaces include auditory output to supplement the text and graphics. Typically, real audio is recorded, digitized and stored on the computer system as ".wav" files for playback during the interface. Auditory messages effectively ensure that the necessary information is conveyed to the user.
Graphics and audio files require a great deal of storage memory. Also, preparing audio and graphics files is time-consuming, which increases the time period for developing software. Moreover, since the audio files are pre-recorded and stored on the computer system, the audio files cannot be modified to provide auditory output of user input. As a result, the interface does not seem as though it is interacting with the user, which renders it less user-friendly.
Accordingly, a need exists in the art for a user-friendly task automation user interface providing flexible auditory output without requiring a large amount of memory space.
The present invention provides an interactive task automation user interface that produces audible messages related to performing the task. Using text-to-speech technology, instructions are stored as text, converted to audio and reproduced audibly for the user.
Specifically, the present invention operates on a computer system adapted for text-to-speech playback, to issue audible messages in a task automation user interface for performing a task. The method and system acquires message text from a location in an electronic storage device of the computer system. The message text is then converted to audio signals, which are processed to produce audible text-to-speech playback output.
Playback control input may be received from the user and then audible playback output responsive to the control input by be performed. The playback can be controlled by the user via keyboard, voice or a pointing device. Preferably, the input performs the functions of a conventional audio cassette tape player, such as play, stop, pause, forward and rewind.
The method and system can be operated to complete multi-step tasks and/or to output message text comprising a plurality of messages, in which case the above is repeated for each step or message.
The task automation user interface may be multimedia or solely auditory. Preferably, the interface includes the message text displayed on a display of the computer system. Additionally, the message text is displayed as the message is output audibly. The audible interface of the present invention also emphasizes portions of the message text.
In the event the user must supply information in order to complete a task, the task automation interface of the present invention receives personal, system or technical data from the user. This data may be entered by keyboard, pointing device and graphical interface or by voice. The input data may be converted to audio signals for audible playback output in the same or another message. The input data may also be used as control input for selecting the appropriate message or step to be converted to text and played back audibly.
Thus, the present invention provides the object and advantage of an audible interface for assisting a user to perform computer-related tasks. Audible messages increase the likelihood that the user will receive information and instructions needed to properly carry out the task the first time, particularly when a visual display is also provided. The present invention provides the additional objects and advantages that, since the messages are stored as text files, they require significantly less memory space. Further, data input by the user may be converted to text and produced audibly as well. This provides yet another object and advantage in that the audio output of the interface is highly adaptable to the current system state which greatly enhances the interactive nature of the interface.
These and other objects, advantages and aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description. In the description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which there is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention. Such embodiment does not necessarily represent the full scope of the invention and reference is made therefore, to the claims herein for interpreting the scope of the invention.
There are presently shown in the drawings embodiments which are presently preferred, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a computer system on which the system of the invention can be used;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a typical high level architecture for the computer system in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 Is a block diagram showing a typical architecture for a speech recognition engine;
FIG. 4 is a an example of an interface window for the text-to-speech task automation user interface of the present invention;
FIG. 5A is a flow chart illustrating a process for automating a task and providing text-to-speech instructions to a user; and
FIG. 5B is a flow chart illustrating a process for user control of the playback of the text-to-speech instruction of FIG. 5A.
FIG. 1 shows a typical computer system 20 for use in conjunction with the present invention. The system is preferably comprised of a computer 34 including a central processing unit (CPU), one or more memory devices and associated circuitry. The system can also include a microphone 30 operatively connected to the computer system through suitable interface circuitry or a "sound board" (not shown), and can include at least one user interface display unit 32 such as a video data terminal (VDT) operatively connected thereto. The CPU can be comprised of any suitable microprocessor or other electronic processing unit, as is well known to those skilled in the art. An example of such a CPU includes the Pentium, Pentium II or Pentium IlI brand microprocessor available from Intel Corporation or any similar microprocessor. Speakers 23, as well as an interface device, such as mouse 21, can also be provided with the system.
The various hardware requirements for the computer system as described herein can generally be satisfied by any one of many commercially available high speed multimedia personal computers offered by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Similarly, many laptop and hand held personal computers and personal assistants may satisfy the computer system requirements as set forth herein.
FIG. 2 illustrates a typical architecture for a speech recognition system in computer 20. As shown in FIG. 2, computer system 20 includes a computer memory device 27, which is preferably comprised of an electronic random access memory and a bulk data storage medium, such as a magnetic disk drive. The system typically includes an operating system 24 and a text-to-speech(TTS)/speech recognition engine application 26. A speech text processor application 28 and a voice navigator application 22 can also be provided.
TTS/speech recognition engines are well known among those skilled in the art and provide suitable programming for converting text to speech and for converting spoken commands and words to text. Generally, the text to speech engine 26 converts electronic text into phonetic text using stored pronunciation lexicons and special rule databases containing pronunciation rules for non-alphabetic text. The TTS engine 26 then converts the phonetic text into speech sounds signals using stored rules controlling one or more stored speech production models of the human voice. Thus, the quality and tonal characteristics of the speech sounds depends upon the speech model used. The TTS engine 26 sends the speech sound signals to suitable audio circuitry, which processes the speech sound signals to output speech sound via through the speakers 23.
In FIG. 2, the TTS/speech recognition engine 26, speech text processor 28 and the voice navigator 22 are shown as separate application programs. It should be noted however that the invention is not limited in this regard, and these various application could, of course be implemented as a single, more complex application program. Also, if no other speech controlled application programs are to be operated in conjunction with the speech text processor application and speech recognition engine, then the system can be modified to operate without the voice navigator application. The voice navigator primarily helps coordinate the operation of the speech recognition engine application.
Audio signals representative of sound received in microphone 30 are processed within computer 20 using conventional computer audio circuitry so as to be made available to the operating system 24 in digitized form. The audio signals received by the computer are conventionally provided to the TTS/speech recognition engine application 26 via the computer operating system 24 in order to perform speech recognition functions. As in conventional speech recognition systems, the audio signals are processed by the speech recognition engine 26 to identify words spoken by a user into microphone 30.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing typical components which comprise the speech recognition portion of the TTS/speech recognition application 26. As shown in FIG. 3, the speech recognition engine receives a digitized speech signal from the operating system. The signal is subsequently transformed in representation block 35 into a useful set of data by sampling the signal at some fixed rate, typically every 10-20 msec. The representation block produces a new representation of the audio signal which can then be used in subsequent stages of the voice recognition process to determine the probability that the portion of waveform just analyzed corresponds to a particular phonetic event. This process is intended to emphasize perceptually important speaker independent features of the speech signals received from the operating system. In modeling/classification block 37, algorithms process the speech signals further to adapt speaker-independent acoustic models to those of the current speaker. Finally, in search block 41, search algorithms are used. to guide the search engine to the most likely words corresponding to the speech signal. The search process in search block 41 occurs with the help of acoustic models 43, lexical models 45, language models 47 and other training data 49.
Language models 47 are used to help restrict the number of possible words corresponding to a speech signal when a word is used together with other words in a sequence. The language model can be specified very simply as a finite state network, where the permissible words following each word are explicitly listed, or can be implemented in a more sophisticated manner making use of context sensitive grammar.
In a preferred embodiment which shall be discussed herein, operating system 24 is one of the Windows family of operating systems, such as Windows NT. Windows 95 or Windows 98 which are available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash. However, the system is not limited in this regard, and the invention can also be used with any other type of computer operating system. For example the invention may be implemented in a hand-held computer operating system such as Windows CE which is available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash., or in a client-server environment using, for example, a Unix operating system. The system as disclosed herein can be implemented by a programmer, using commercially available development tools for the operating systems described above.
FIG. 4 illustrates a graphical user interface window 36 for permitting the user to communicate with the system. The window 36 can include graphics 38, animation 39, text 40, variable text fields 42 and window display/process control buttons 44. Preferably, the window also includes playback control buttons 46 and a message text read-out field, such as text balloon 48. These components of the display window 36 will be described in detail below.
FIGS. 5A-5B is a flow chart illustrating the process for providing a task automation user interface with text-to-speech audible messages according to the invention. The messages may include instructions for performing the task or inputting data or other information.
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an implementation of the invention where a user display is available such as in the case of a desktop personal computer. It will be appreciated from the description of the process in FIG. 5A-5B, however, that a visual display system interface such as is shown in FIG. 4 is not required. Instead, the interface may be entirely based on audio, utilizing speech recognition to control playback or input information and text-to-speech programming to output audible messages and instructions for performing the tasks.
To the extent that speech commands may be used to control the operation of the interface as disclosed herein, audio signals representative of sound received in microphone 30 are processed within computer 20 using conventional computer audio circuitry so as to be made available to the operating system 24 in digitized form. The audio signals received by the computer are conventionally provided to the TTS/speech recognition engine application 26 via the computer operating system 24 in order to perform speech recognition functions. As in conventional speech recognition systems, the audio signals are processed by the speech recognition engine 26 to identify words spoken by a user into microphone 30.
Referring to FIG. 5A, automatically or upon user initiation, at process block 50 a graphical interface window, such as window 36, is displayed for the first step of the task. The text for the first audible message is retrieved from a text file stored in the memory 27, at block 52. All the message text may be contained in a single text file or each message may be stored in a separate file. At block 54, the retrieved message text is then converted to audio or speech signals by a text-to-speech software engine, as known in the art. These audio signals are made available to the operating system 24 in digitized form and are subsequently processed within computer 20 using conventional computer audio circuitry. The audio thus generated by the computer is conventionally reproduced by the speakers 23
Using text-to-speech technology provides two primary benefits: (1) it greatly decreases the amount of storage space required for audible interfaces of this kind, an (2) it increases the flexibility, interactivity and user-friendliness of the interface. First, storing the messages as text files significantly reduces the amount of memory required compared to storing audio files. For example, storing thirty minutes of 16 bit, single channel audio recorded at 44 kHz requires approximately 100 MB of memory. In contrast, the same amount of messaging can be stored as a text file in approximately 30 kB of memory, and the TTS engine requires approximately 1.2 MB. Thus, the present invention can operate using dramatically less storage space than typical audible interfaces. Second, the interface is more interactive, in part, because the reduction in memory requirements allows for a greater quantity of messages. Also, the fact that the messages are converted to audio signals rather than pre-recorded, the audio output can include text input by the user, giving the user a greater sense of interactivity.
Referring again to FIG. 5A, at block 56 the message playback is begun and the message is displayed in the read-out text field 48. The text may be displayed at once and remain displayed until the message or step is completed. Alternatively, the text may be displayed substantially as it is reproduced audibly, displaying only a few words, phrases or sentences at one time. The actor 39 may also be animated at block 56 so as to give the appearance of speaking to the user, for example, by pointing to parts of the interface being referred to audibly.
Referring to FIG. 5B, according to a preferred embodiment, the playback continues until completed unless otherwise interrupted by a user playback control input. The user can control the playback much like a conventional cassette tape or compact disc player. Using a familiar control format such as this enhances the usability of the interface. By issuing voice commands or depressing the graphical control buttons 46 with a pointing device, the user may stop or pause the playback, skip ahead to or replay various portions of the message.
Specifically, blocks 58, 60, 62, and 64 are decision steps which correspond to user control over the playback process which may be implemented by voice command or other suitable interface controls. The system determines whether the user inputs a "play", "stop", "pause", "fast forward" or "rewind" control signal. If not, the process continues to block 66 (FIG. 5A) where the display and playback of the message continues.
Otherwise, for example, if the user inputs a "stop" command, the process advances to step 68 where the playback and text display is stopped. At this point, if the user wishes to terminate the interface, block 70, by depressing the "cancel" process control button 44, for example, then the window is closed at block 72. If the user stopped the playback but continues with the task, the process advances to block 74, where the system awaits additional playback control input from the user. If no input is received, the playback and display remain the same. However, if additional input is received, the process returns to block 62 where the user can move the playback ahead, block 76, or back, block 78 and then continue the playback at block 66 (FIG. 5A).
Alternatively, rather than stopping the playback completely, at block 60, the user may pause it temporarily to digest the instruction, locate system or personal data for inputting or for any other reason. The playback is held at the paused position, block 80. At block 82, the system determines whether an input signal has been received to resume playback. If not the playback remains paused, otherwise it is resumed at block 84.
If playback is continued, at block 86, the above described process is repeated until the playback is ended. In particular, if the playback of the current message is not completed, then the system returns to monitoring system inputs for user playback commands as described. Once it is completed, the user can request additional information or instruction regarding the current step, block 88, using a suitable voice command or point and click method. At block 90, the system determines whether additional text is stored in memory relating to the current step. If not, visually or audibly, the system conveys to the user that there is no further help or information, block 92. However, if there is, at block 94, the text is retrieved and then the process returns to block 54 where the additional text is converted to speech and played back as described. The user may control the playback of the additional information message as described above.
If no further information is requested or available, the process advances to block 96 to determine if the user must supply data for variables needed to complete the step of the task. If so, the system receives the user input at block 98 in a suitable form, such as typed or dictated text in text field 42, a list selection or a check mark indicator. The system then uses the user-supplied data as needed to determine and undertake the steps necessary to complete the task. The user input may also be used in step 100 to determine the appropriate message to play next or whether any appropriate messages remain for the current step. If no such user data is required, the process advances directly to block 100 where the system determines whether another message or instruction exists for the current step. Usually this is accomplished by scanning the text file for markers or tags designating the task to which it pertains and at which point it is to be played. If there is another message it is retrieved at block 102 after which the process returns to block 54 where the message is converted to speech and played, as described. Playback of the new message may be commenced automatically or in response to user input. If there is not another message for the current step, then at block 104 the system determines whether another step is needed to perform the task, again, user input received at block 98 may be used in making this determination. If there is another step, the next window is displayed, at block 106, and the process returns to block 52 where the first message for the new step is retrieved, converted and played. Finally, at block 108, if there are no additional messages to play and steps to complete, the task is performed by supplying the user inputted data and other scripted commands to the applicable software application, as known in the art.
While the foregoing specification illustrates and describes the preferred embodiments of this invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction herein disclosed. The invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention.

Alvarado appeared depleted to me v. Provodnikov. i detected noodly-limbs and no second wind. IF the real Alvarado shows up v. Marquez, i lean toward Mikey. IMO, Marquez is too small to earn easy wins at 147lbs and Alvarado's a tough and bigger customer going into this matchup. the 40-something Marquez has aged gracefully but he may finally hit a wall v. Alvarado. Btw, Marquez is an excellent counter-puncher but he also doesn't remain idle whenever an opponent retreats. that's when i think a lunging and sometimes reckless Marquez begins to seriously flirt with a TKO loss.Posted April 10, 2014 4:53 pm

Marquez can beat Alvarado… He could still win a 5th Divisional World Championship with another title. That wrong tark, Alvarado is a former belt holder, so he has a title, Marquez would be the first time fighting at 147# before it was Floyd at 144 lb so this is a new weight class. But Marquez has to fight a belt holder at 147 lb to get another weight belt or title,
If Alvarado retired with the belt and agree to put the title on the line then Marquez get the title from
Greatness inside the boxing ring comes to a fighter that is special. The great fighter does things that others can't quite duplicate. He does things effortlessly and without having to think. The attributes he possesses (power, speed, athleticism, movement) are gifts he was born with. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter that does things that leave boxing fans in awe. He can punch with the power of an earthquake. He has hand speed that rivals that of a striking cobra. He has the graceful foot movement of the great football player, Barry Sanders comes to mind. And he has the aura of invincibility that gives him the chance to beat anyone at any time. Manny Pacquiao will grace us with his presence on April 12th in Las Vegas. He has returned to take back a title that was unjustly stolen from him by Timothy Bradley with the assistance of the ring judges. The boxing world is once again alive, filled with anticipation and excitement to see greatness in the ring. Manny Pacquiao will bring in the movie stars, professional athletes, musicians and world leaders to the fight. Any Pacquiao fight bests the World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup or the World Cup. The magnitude of excitement reaches all four corners of the world. Those fortunate fans that come to Las Vegas get a double treat as Manny will likely perform his celebrated hit song like "Sometimes When We Touch." Manny is a boxer, singer, actor, but more importantly an entertainer that aims to please fans, which he consistently does. There will be no more Manny Pacquiao's once this legendary fighting machine retires for the squared circle. Manny has fought the best of his time and beaten them all. He is respected and admired by all of his boxing peers. Fans enjoy watching his fights because they know there is action, excitement and they are watching the ONLY 8 division boxing champion in history. This by itself classifies him as the best ever. If only one man can reach the top of mountain, every other man falls short. Manny Pacquiao is the only man to reach a little higher than all the rest. Is he the greatest ever? Quite possibly, but I will not become a braggart and tarnish any part of Manny Pacquiao. I will say that he is arguably the best of all time, and leave it at that. Manny Pacquiao is without a doubt one of the most influential people ever. He reaches people of all walks of life. Manny Pacquiao is quite unique as he personifies greatness inside and outside the ring. The pugilist and the person are both one in spirit. This is a special man that encompasses greatness. Trust me on this. Manny is one of a kind. Manny's the best!Posted April 10, 2014 12:05 pm

They don't fight for titles, you can't take their title you have to earn that title by fighting a belt holder any 5 belts of a weight class
Marquez is fighting a guys with a title former champ because he lost the belt to prov who Bradley took that belt away, as he took manny belt and Marquez belts.
So Marquez can't get a another belt or title unless he fought a belt holder, he not. and he not intitled for a fight with the winner of this fight as writers have said.

IMO, he's already accomplished what he'll be remembered for. he's committing the mistake of fighting too long. even if i'm wrong, i'm right. he has no real need to risk it other than pride and pride always hurts, it never helps, but Marquez is a very proud fighter. a 40-something featherweight fighter campaigning(?!) among prime and natural 147lbrs. this position has become a cornerstone of my notoriously objective posts on the subject and i've never posted anything otherwise. how could you miss it?Posted April 10, 2014 1:24 am

"The only thing that will change that record is if they fight again, but that means there's a 50-50 chance that another win will appear in Manny's column" (lol). the desperate hope and consolation of every Pacquiao* fanboy. determined to make the "we'll wait until he's too old, slow, and small to defend himself" strategy finally pan-out (lol). there is literally no need for Pacquiao* to remain a priority of a 40-something Marquez. unless he insists on running into another one of Marquez's right-hands. in which case, there is a 100% chance that Pacquiao* takes another nap.Posted April 10, 2014 1:11 am

"Which is exactly what you have been doing, te tumbo, regarding the Pacquiao/Marquez fights" when have i ever denied it? it's my consistent and lichen(?)-draped trademark. "official" scorecards are only footnotes to me. i also do despise the promotional privilege that has carefully carried Pacquiao* up the ranks, targeted vulnerable Names, inferior contenders, and compromised competitiveness out of official bouts. i've alternately described Team Pacquiao's* mismatchmaking strategy as brilliant and corrupt. nonetheless, what is typical about your pissy rant, is the lack of any counter-point(?). counter-argument. evidence to the contrary.

te tumbo.., "TARK, i scored Bradley v. Marquez a Draw."
That's another indication Bradley won it clearly… which he did. It was close but clear margin of victory. You need to watch fights with a little more objectivity. Which is very difficult to do for anybody, but I think you're one guy who could. I really wanted Marquez to get his 5th Divisional World Title, something unprecedented for a Mexican boxer. But Tim won. It would shock me if you said Bradley won on your card.Posted April 9, 2014 11:40 pm

"unfortunately, Pacquiao's* fanboys usually refer to that as "crying" and "whining" about an official loss that is already in the books. "
Which is exactly what you have been doing, te tumbo, regarding the Pacquiao/Marquez fights, for oh so long. You go on and on and on, and you've even attached a * to Pac's name just to make it very clear to everyone that you hate and despise him with every bone in your body. You're song and dance routines about Manny Pacquiao are ancient stale and covered with lichen.
Bottom line, Pac is ahead in their 4-fight series by a score of 2-1-1.
So get it right, Marquez fanboy, Juan's two losses to Manny are, and his recorded domination of Marquez, as you specifically stated, is "official" and "already in the books." All your whining will NEVER change those facts. The only thing that will change that record is if they fight again, but that means there's a 50-50 chance that another win will appear in Manny's column.Posted April 9, 2014 10:22 pm

Its like Tyson, all those killer knockouts & his undefeated record were overshadowed by ONE (1) sole upsetting defeat at the hands of James Buster Douglas. Everyone remembers him for that KO and likewise, everyone will remember for all eternity Marquez putting Pacquioa to sleep.

MOONSHINEMAN, it's great(?) that Pacquiao* has the promotional clout to at least be able to rehabilitate his official loss into a virtual "win". unfortunately, Pacquiao's* fanboys usually refer to that as "crying" and "whining" about an official loss that is already in the books. consequently, the special judging panel of five(!?) judges is only suitable for publicity purposes not disputing what has already been documented in the official books and annals of boxing, e.g., Marquez's rivalry-ending KO of Pacquiao*.Posted April 9, 2014 7:38 pm

Bradley wins the rematch and he establishes his irrefutable superiority over Pacquiao*. after all, he already leads the series 1-0.
After the decision the WBO ordered a video review of the bout. The five judges on the WBO's committee all scored the fight in Pacquiao's favor — 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112 and 115-113.Posted April 9, 2014 6:19 pm

". . . a rematch win is superior to an initial bout win", which makes Marquez's spectacular and rivalry-ending KO of Pacquiao* the most convincing and decisive (not to mention upset) win of the series. Marquez is Greater.Posted April 9, 2014 5:51 pm

TARK, i scored Bradley v. Marquez a Draw but it was close enough that neither could claim "robbery". besides, Bradley deserves the nod if only because Marquez is no welter. even with the added bulk, Marquez's physical dimensions appeared a solid notch smaller than Bradley who is not a big welter himself. Marquez will always experience difficulty simply trying to reach a natural welter without paying a stiff tax. as if 40-something wasn't enough of a detrimental factor, Marquez should be targeting 135lb-140lbrs at Most.Posted April 9, 2014 5:49 pm

Tumbo.., I agree that Marquez was looking for the KO shot. It was a thing of beauty. I had JMM winning each of the 3 previous fights by a point or more.
However, I did not officially judge any of their fights… The way it went down is: Pacquiao won the series 2-1-1 to broad disagreement among judges, writers, commentators, and fans.
Now, Pacquiao has a chance to beat the last man to beat the ATG Juan Manuel Marquez … and Bradley gave Marquez his most decisive defeat to date.
That will only elevate Pacquiao's standing among ATG's in fistic history.Posted April 9, 2014 5:21 pm

"One lucky shot doesn't decide who wins a series". it's not "lucky" when you share the fight-plan, guarantee the outcome, and not only deliver but exceed expectations by elevating the historical bar for absolutely brutal, rivalry-ending KOs. what Marquez did was the equivalent of Hanley Ramirez stepping up to the plate in game 7 of the Series, pointing to deep center field, and CRUSHING a 3-2 pitch over the wall and out of the stadium for a walk-off homerun. when was the first time any of you have witnessed that accomplishment? or it's equivalent? . . .

Manny Pacquiao is just days away from putting on his best performance in the squared circle since he came on the scene. There's no fight like a Pacquiao fight. This is more than just an event, it's more like the Presidential race, The World Series, The Super Bowl and man landing on the moon. In the future, us boxing fans need to write congress and request a national holiday for Manny Pacquiao. He brings happiness to all of us. The killer instinct is never a question for the greatest pure fighter in the history of boxing. Never ever question this man's courage, skill or killer instinct. You don't EVER what to get personal with this warrior or you will pay dearly as Timothy Bradley is going to find out. Manny's has finally arrived in Las Vegas, and the city is on fire. There's excitement at every corner of the sin city, but the angelic Manny Pacquiao has brought it peace and love. Set your DVR's, purchase your VHS tapes and clean your recording equipment because this is going to be historic. You have all witnessed Manny vs Morales, Manny vs Hatton, Manny vs Barrera, Manny vs Marquez, Manny vs De La Hoya and Manny vs Margarito. All historic, exciting, fights that will be remembered for ages to come. Timothy Bradley vs Manny Pacquiao 2 will surpass all of them if that's even possible. You'll see the brutalizing straight left hand, the crushing right hook, the incredible feints, the dazzling foot work, the cobra like in and out movement, the heart of a lion, the destruction of Timothy Bradley. I recall what Adrian said to Rocky at one point in the Rocky series movies. She looked at him before taking on Clubber Lang and said "You can't win." Timothy Bradley has been hearing this from everyone. And everyone is right. No matter what he does, he can't win. Manny will stop him before the 4th round or no later than the 9th. The greatest fighter in boxing history reclaims his throne. Trust me, Manny wins in exciting and stunning fashion. Manny is the best!Posted April 9, 2014 3:46 pm
Tark, I agree, Freddie has been doing a lot of talking, which rubs me wrong since Manny is such a humble guy and does his talking in the ring. I can see the Mayweathers doing a lot of talking, but Freddie is becoming somewhat annoying. The retirement talk is unnecessary. He should let Manny handle everything from here on. No one wants to hear any negative stuff whatsoever especially coming from the trainer. Manny is still going to stop Bradley IMO, but Freddie has to check himself.Posted April 9, 2014 2:12 pm
Roach shouldn't be talking negative.
Such as "Manny will have to retire if he loses." You go over the consequences of losing in your mind, and what could possibly cause you to lose — just so you don't leave any stones unturned. But you don't talk about losing except in a closed setting with your team.
You can be satisfied with a loss… but only if you did everything humanly possible to win and you got fair decision. Maybe you're getting an unlikely title shot and you're a huge underdog. Underdogs win too. They do it by fighting to the max of their ability after putting together an outstanding training camp.
When you see a fighter who's perfectly prepared, you see an alertness, excitement, and anticipation in his face as he takes the ring. Some fighters look like they don't want to be there … or like they're faking a positive attitude.Posted April 9, 2014 12:52 pm

"What's gonna be your excuse tonight, Roy?" completely let all the gas out of a presumably gas-filled Junior. the first and only time i saw that from Roy who was usually working his yapper before, during, and after each fight. perhaps Tarver's challenge triggered a premonition because it transformed the once untouchable Roy Jones into a very concerned Junior from that point forward.Posted April 9, 2014 1:30 am

Tark , whats your pick on the Bradley Pac fight?, btw dont dance around your pick, ya digPosted April 8, 2014 10:09 pm
Boxers do try for the seemingly unlikely result.. Lots of times they get it.. Antonio Tarver was robbed in the first Roy Jones fight after waiting many years to fight Roy.
He was pretty confident going into the 2nd Jones fight.. He felt the referees were not going to screw him again again, because he was gonna ice Jones.
"Are you gonna have any excuses tonight Roy?" AT badly wanted the KO and he got it … ditto Marquez over Pacquiao.
You have to give up points to get the KO over that caliber of fighter.. You have to wait and wait for the right shot.. That's usually something you're not going to do unless you believe you can't get a judges' vote anyway.Posted April 8, 2014 8:52 pm

gotta hand it to Largo. his logic is fundamentally sound and it's tempting to bet against Pacquiao's* "compromised" punch resistance. if this bout unfolds as Largo has consistently been describing since it was announced, it will go down as one of the boldest predictions i've ever read on ESB. exceeding my own in favor of Martinez v. Williams II and Marquez v. Pacquiao* IV. those were easy but picking Bradley to win by KO stoppage? we're talking minor-miracle, here. the same minor-miracle that Marquez, Ortiz, Guerrero, Canelo, and Cotto couldn't count on to defeat Mayweather.Posted April 8, 2014 8:29 pm

"Largo, who has Bradley stopped lately or even come close to doing that?"…………Tim wobbles & hurt everybody he fights; he hurt Provo real bad & Roach thought about stopping the fight. He almost dropped Marquez with a counter left hook, but my main point is Pacs punch-resistance after that devastating KO…I don't think Manny can take a hard shot on the chin without going to sleep. Bradley has enough power to stop an already compromised Pac…I truly believe that & only after the fight will know if I'm right or wrong.

Not to mention Marquez got to 145lb from Floyd fight by eating quill eggs 20 small eggs a day as protein. Damm that bad cholesterol. For PAC he had the same training as PAC and a private eating adviser.Posted April 8, 2014 2:20 pm
Mike Tyson
If PAC loses and he got outboxed, he should retired, he got as far as he can given he a large jr.w.w. now at 144-145 of fights. And boxing damage is his bread and butter now.
Then the question is Floyd up against Bradley the best slugger boxer from top rank. How will Floyd do against Bradley. You can rate floyd Marquez Victory here because Floyd fought Marquez comming from a small Jr WW and was a natural Jr M.W 154+ true marquez came up to 145lb from 140 lb
I would liken it to if you don't count PAC win over Oscar you don't count Floyd win over Marquez.
If pacquiao loses this his relevance in the sport will be gone. It will also let the world know that If he can't definitively defeat Marquez and Bradley then what was he really going to do with the great mayweather. Pacquiao will continue to fight regardless if he wins or loses.Posted April 8, 2014 2:04 pm
Same can be said about Pac. I like the way people say he just rushed in and got careless against Marquez when he got KOd but if you rewatch the KO you will see Pac actually feint before coming in with a punch, only problem is Marquez did not flinch on the feint and Pac came in to throw a punch and Marquez countered perfectly. So all this garbage about Pac rushing in is false.Posted April 8, 2014 1:28 pm

Get ready boxing fans, Manny Pacquiao's Grand Arrival is slated for today at the MGM Grand. Manny Mania is alive and well, and Las Vegas adopted son is arriving to clean up Sin City. Mayweather's own town transforms into Manny Pacquiao land. The iconic legend brings in fans from all over the world. The stars are out, world leaders and dignitaries all come out to see arguably the greatest fighter of all time. The only 8 time division boxing champion ever. Manny Pacquiao is coming, and half the world is coming along with him. The blazing hand speed, the graceful, and artistic movement and the destructive power will all be present when Manny Pacquiao steps into that boxing ring on Saturday night. My bags are packed, my Manny Pacquiao attire is neatly pressed, and we're set to go. Boxing needs Manny Pacquiao more than fish need water. Opening Day for Major League Baseball is dwarfed by the news of Manny Pacquiao arriving in Las Vegas. Imagine Manny coming out to ring in his patented colors of his homeland, the beautiful head band, the bounce in his legs and the million dollar smile as the house erupts with passion and emotions. The crowd cheering "Manny, Manny, Manny, Manny, Manny, Manny". And I will be the one fan in the crowd leading that chant. Never again will there be this kind of excitement in any event. You will have missed a part of life if you're not glued to your tv set or at the live event. Manny Pacquiao is making his triumphant return to glory. He will turn back the hands of time and begin his second reign as P4P King of the ring. Don't blink because something special will happen before round 4 or no later than round 9. Trust me on this, Manny Pacquiao is simply the best ever. That was hard to say because that encompasses a lot of great fighters, but Manny is the best!Posted April 8, 2014 1:04 pm

I dont see the point in bradley fighting pac again if he wins this rematch. He will only win if it is decisive and then he has two in his pocket to pac's none. it wont be like JMM-Pacquiao when they had controversial decisions consecutively. There is one possibly bad decision which they are (hopefully) going to find out who the better fighter is. Please no rematch once Bradley wins. I think bradley is right about Pacquiao.

The iconic legend that is Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao will be returning to the boxing ring in again another highly anticipated fight on April 12, 1014. The world has this fight marked on the calendar. This is a man that started his boxing career as a fly weight in 1995 and has climbed three divisions as a squirrel climbs a tree effortlessly and with precision. I constantly am amazed at what Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao has accomplished in a life that started out with hopelessness all while selling donuts and bread on the streets to make enough money for him and his family to eat. His father left while Manny was small only to come back years later for a few hours and eat his pet dog. A third world country is nothing like life in the United States. There is poverty, sickness and desperation. A life that takes more than it gives. Manny Pacquiao is a role model and example for those that see no hope in their lives. Put yourself in his situation and imagine what it would be like to live on the street, fighting against older, stronger, hungry men in back alley brawls to earn two dollars or less. Fast forward to today and see what Manny Pacquiao has attained since his horrific and painful childhood. Fighter of The Decade, 8 division World Boxing Championships, Mega Star of the Boxing Ring, The Silver Screen and Platinum Music hit Songs, Cover of TIME Magazine, Model, Cover Of GQ Magazine, Congressman, 2008 Flag barer for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijiing, helper of the poor and a Man Of God that wears his faith on his sleeves. A boxer that carries himself with humility, respect and sportsmanship in a sport that is full of greedy dishonest people. Manny's endorsement opportunities are endless. All of this from a young child that made his first punching bag out of cardboard and stuffed clothes. On April 12, Manny will have his chance to set the record straight and seek his own personal redemption. We all know about the robbery decision given to Timothy Bradley in their first fight. This was an atrocity in the sports world. This was a true injustice to the millions of fans that saw a different fight. Rumor had it that many fans across the world would not go to work protesting this ridiculous decision. Now, Manny can and will make things right. Timothy Bradley, a solid fighter in his own right knew that he had lost. HIs pride and ego wouldn't let him admit it, but he knew he had lost. He also has the chance to redeem himself, but he won't. This will be a great fight until the end, which should come by brutal knockout before round 9. Manny Pacquiao will turn back the hands of time and win this fight without question. The world will be a better place. The east coast will see good weather and the west coast will receive the needed rain. Life will be more settled even though a hurricane fighter by the name of Manny Pacquiao came through Las Vegas in a brutal fury on April 12th to destroy another opponent that was living on a false victory. Manny Pacquiao will put it all together on this night. Memories of living under a bridge wrapped up in newspapers will give him the drive to win in spectacular fashion. Manny Pacquiao has no fear. He was born a fighter. He is greatness in the ring.Posted April 8, 2014 3:38 am
Forget Manny getting a payday from the P4P KingPosted April 8, 2014 3:08 am
Get that into your stupid head.Posted April 8, 2014 3:07 am
Lenin said it correct. Floyd would only fight basically if Paq looked ring worn done.Posted April 8, 2014 2:19 am
Pac most be winPosted April 8, 2014 2:04 am
Bradley by stoppage.Posted April 8, 2014 1:49 am
Roach: If I fail at making correct predictions, I might need to retire – That's more like it. FMJ will definitely watch this fight. If Pacquiao wins convincingly, he will never get a fight with FMJ. If Pac wins but looks tired and old, the fight will be made. If he loses, it's 50-50 for a fight with FMJ.Posted April 8, 2014 1:49 am

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 8/27/13
DENVER -- If the Miami Dolphins had gotten into a bidding war to bring back Jake Long, could they have won it? Perhaps not. While it is generally believed the Dolphins weren't willing to pay the left tackle as a free agent an amount similar to the four-year, 36 million deal he got last March from St. Louis, Long said the Dolphins had little chance of signing him after his first day of having visited the Rams. While he confirmed Miami offered him a contract, he wouldn't disclose the amount. "I made up my mind I wanted to be (with the Rams)," Long said in an interview with FOX Sports Florida when the Rams were in Denver for Saturday's 27-26 preseason loss. "There wasn't much else that could change that ... Yeah, (the Dolphins) definitely did (make an offer). But, in the end, I know what it was. I wanted to be (with St. Louis)." So the Dolphins will head into the regular season with left tackle the biggest question mark on the team. Miami will start Jonathan Martin, who was just OK...

Hussa and Toyota Receive Grant from the Mississippi IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence
Two Millsaps College professors have received a grant to support development of science classes that will investigate the questions: "Will the World Be Ruled by Zombies?" and "The Five Second Rule: Can I Still Eat It?"
"Our universal goal with these classes is to establish a new method of student-driven learning among freshmen, which will hopefully make it more exciting and engaging to learn science as science is done--by applying the scientific method--instead of reading a textbook," Toyota said.
Summer Science Splash Camp
Are you a middle school student who loves science? Then come and join us for the newly instituted Summer Science Splash Camp, sponsored by the II-VI Foundation, at Millsaps College during summer 2015!
No particular advance science knowledge is required – just be motivated to learn and have fun in the process! This week-long residential summer camp includes research and science exploration led by certified science teachers during the day, and plenty of fun activities outside the lab in the late afternoon and evening, supervised by camp counselors who are well-trained Millsaps College students.
2015 Phi Beta Kappa Recipients
Millsaps College was the first college or university in the state of Mississippi to be granted a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter. Mississippi was installed at Millsaps College on March 4, 1989, and since that time hundreds of Millsaps students have been initiated by the chapter.
Each spring semester the faculty and staff who are members of the Alpha of Mississippi Chapter meet to elect new members. According to the constitution of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, "the qualifications for membership...are high scholarship in the arts and sciences and good character."
Student Profile: Krystal Jackson
As a double major in music and studio art with concentrations in music history and painting, Jackson entertains a wide variety of interests, all of which she has found a niche for at Millsaps. She has performed with the Millsaps Singers and now plays piano for the Millsaps Jazz Ensemble and acts with the Millsaps Players.
Dr. Julian Murchison Awarded Mellon Writing Fellow
Dr. Julian Murchison, associate professor of anthropology, has been awarded the first Mellon Writing Fellow at Millsaps College.
Murchison's area of research and development will focus on the use of writing as an integral part of helping students understand themselves as actors in the social world.
Compass Curriculum
The vision of Millsaps College affirms a dedication to engage students in a "transformative learning and leadership experience that results in personal and intellectual growth, commitment to good citizenship in our global society, and a desire to succeed and make a difference in every community they touch." The new Compass Curriculum is a key building block in that experience, and offers all incoming first-year students (beginning fall 2015) a new and exciting tool to find their best path to graduation and beyond!

A Web site that started as a showcase for one man "lifecasting" his daily activities now is letting anyone with a Webcam do the same, free.
The site, Justin.tv, opened its network to the public Oct. 3 and now has 3,200 broadcasting accounts signed up, says Michael Seibel, its chief executive. As with competitors such as blogTV.com, Justin.tv's "channels" offer live streaming video and accompanying live chats, along with YouTube-style highlighted videos.
One of the more popular channels, "iJustine" (pictured), features free-lance Web designer Justine Ezarik, 23. Friday morning, about 300 live viewers watched as she got ready to bring her Webcam along on her morning coffee run.
The site's guidelines ban nudity and "extreme" depictions of violence or criminality, relying in part on members' flagging violations, Mr. Seibel says. Members can require that visitors to their channels click a confirmation that they're over 18.
The year-old company takes its name from co-founder Justin Kan, who spent months toting around 22 pounds of computer and battery equipment connected to a camera in a hat. Among his live-streamed exploits was a paid promotion for the movie "Disturbia" in which Mr. Kan parodied the film's premise by staging "a day in the life of house arrest."
For now, Justin.tv is using such promotions rather than advertising for revenue. The site has backing from venture-capital firm Alsop Louie Partners and others. "We have a little runway to build our product and traffic before worrying about implementing our monetization plan," Mr. Seibel says.

This is a must-visit for any who love to submerge themselves in old-time elegance. Adjoining Arnaud's, the classic New Orleans Creole restaurant, this dark-wood bar is complete with leather-backed chairs and imposing columns. The bartenders work magic with their encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails and arsenal of ingredients. Be sure to venture upstairs to the Germaine Wells Mardi Gras Museum (free), a slightly bizarre showcase for memorabilia and ball gowns worn by the original owner's daughter.

Quality cocktails. Service was a bit slow when we went at nighttime. Very busy. Had a French 75, and Sazerac. Both were excellent. A must-go for vintage cocktail enthusiasts.

basemosaic linux
I've been attempting to get basemosaic to work on my system, I currently run 6 monitors off of 3 identical 9500GT cards.
I modified my xorg.conf to use this line.
Option "BaseMosaic" "True"
I got this in my log
[ 20.350] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Invalid display device in Mode Description
It is recognizing the gpu3 existing and even correctly detecting my monitors (not in the snippit above) , but then says it can't use it in basemosaic.
Is this a limitation of basemosaic? only 2 GPU's? or is this a limitation of the fact that the 3 cards I have are not a valid SLI configuration (they're only single SLI, thus I can't SLI them together) or something else entirely. I was unable to find any significant documentation outside of the readme, which seemed rather terse.
Any help would be appreciated.
Re: basemosaic linux
The README does state that BaseMosaic isn't supported on GeForce, IIRC.
Re: basemosaic linux
Also, the display devices for GPU-3 are typo'ed as "DPF" rather than "DFP" in your first line. Is there any reason your third 9500GT would be GPU-3 rather than GPU-2?
Re: basemosaic linux
Stupid mistake on my part (the DPF vs DFP). it does not make any difference, it still only lights up my first 4 monitors.
I wasn't sure how to interpret this line from the Readme.
"It is also supported on Quadro FX 380, Quadro FX 580 and all G80 or higher non-mobile NVS cards."
If it meant all G80/higher except "mobile NVS cards"
or if it meant all G80/higher NVS cards except the mobile ones.
I was using GPU-3 because my system kept making the NForce 980a/780a GPU-2, and the third card GPU-3.
I've disabled the Onboard video (to make things cleaner) and fixed the DPF/DFP error, however i'm still not getting any video to the last 2 monitors
Option "MetaModes" "GPU-0.DFP-0: 1680x1050+0+0, GPU-0.DFP-1: 1680x1050+0+1050, GPU-1.DFP-0: 1680x1050+1680+1050, GPU-1.DFP-1: 1680x1050+1680+0, GPU-2.DFP-0: 1680x1050+3360+0, GPU-2.DFP-1: 1680x1050+3360+1050"
[ 23.042] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Invalid display device in Mode Description
Re: basemosaic linux
Re: basemosaic linux
Re: basemosaic linux
BaseMosaic may not be 'supported' on GeForce cards, but it works on some stuff. One example is the eVGA 2Win cards - with two identical GPUs, linked by an internal PCIe switch. That switch is an NVidia part, afaict, which may be why it works.
Anyhow, you can use BaseMosaic on those. There's a lot of limitations, like with SLI-mosaic - you can't run other GPUs for example. But it works, or did recently (290.10).
