So, you're saying there's a chance...? :)
I am one of those transplants from Michigan. I have absolutely fallen in love with the Colorado mountains and lifestyle. I can be found hiking and camping in the mountains, but my absolute mountain passion is skiing. I have been skiing at least 30 days this year. If I don't want to make the mountain trek, you will probably find me playing volleyball, softball, or basketball in a park somewhere. I do appreciate working out on a regular basis, 3-5 days a week, and I do work hard to live and eat healthy. Like all good things however, balance is key. Life is too short to spend it in the gym all of the time. :) Therefore, I can definitely appreciate a relaxing night in with a good home cooked meal, a glass of wine or a good beer, and a great movie. :) A further passion of mine, music. I will dance to anything and everything from country to rock to electric, and everything in between. Overall, I am a very happy-go-lucky type of person looking for my next adventure. Life is too short to not try to suck all of the adventure out of it! I am exceptionally driven. I put myself through college earning a bio-chem degree, and I currently work as a high school science teacher. I do love my kiddos. Although they pay me well ;), I take on jobs coaching softball, basketball, and boys vball throughout the year, as well as other odd jobs. My faith is important to me, and I would like to share beliefs with a significant other. Further, life is too short to be dishonest with yourself or others. I have to say, honesty is of utmost importance to me. I am silly, sassy, and exceptionally sarcastic. I love to laugh. Laughing is my favorite ;). Despite my sassy sarcastic exterior, I am the world's biggest softie on the inside. Life can be tough, so I love the joy that thoughtful acts can bring to others. I love making people smile!! I have the world's best friends, the world's best adventures, and a fabulous career. I would simply like an adventure partner who loves to make me smile as much as I like to make them smile. :) I am exceptionally driven and know what I want out of life, and out of a partner. I only have today, so I am going to live it with 110%. I want someone who appreciates that and also wants to get the most out of his life. Enough about me! I would love to find someone who also likes to travel and explore what the world has to offer. Someone with ambition, who knows that living a healthy lifestyle helps you get more out of life! If that sounds like you, don't hesitate to say hello

Photo Gallery: What a Mother Runner Looks Like
If you saw our previous post on the What a Mother Runner Looks Like, you know that it's some powerful, inspiring stuff. The photo submissions for the project were such a success that their release was split into two parts. We chose to share with you the second edition as the copy is beautifully written and says a lot about the project. You can also see photos from Part 1 here, and the rest of Part 2, here. And again, please feel free to participate in the project by sending us your photos! We will happily share and deliver photos to AMR on your behalf.
What does a mother runner look like? Strong. And smiley.
Up today: round two of What Another Mother Runner Looks Like. 75 or so mother runners who come in a range of shapes and sizes, but personify what mother runners stand for: confidence, strength, ambition, inspiration, vibrancy.
I hope the combined 132 pictures drove home the point that there is no such thing as a stereotypical runner. Sure, there are wisps who whip across the line seemingly effortlessly—and there are a few of them in this collection (and yes, we love you and your little bods!)—but the majority of the pack are runners who might have bulky quads; who might have a little extra bulge on their midsection; who might be far from the "ideal" runner physique.
But here's the thing about the majority of us: we're dominating the race fields. Some days, we're running long. Some days, we're running fast. Some days, we're just running. We're setting PR's and killing the hills. We're surprised by how running has become ingrained in our DNA, the reward of dedication and consistency. We're inspiring others to try it.
In short, we are redefining what a runner looks like.
I wanted to share a few thoughts from Rebecca, who describes herself as overweight/obese since puberty ("and three pregnancies haven't helped," she adds). When she submitted her picture, she wrote,
"I like your idea for a photo essay: real women, with real bodies. It's outside my comfort zone, but I've decided to include my photo because I think there are plenty of other women out there whose bodies look more like mine than any of the 14 shown so far. And I think it would mean a lot to those other women to see someone more like themselves. Women who equally value the another mother runner community that the two of you promote."
Rebecca: we so appreciate you—and the rest of you—who have put yourself out there. There is a reason why this community is so valuable: it's as strong and supportive as the collective legs we run on.
Again, I ask you to please share this gallery: Facebook it, tweet it, send it to your pals. Thank you, thank you. And here's the link to Part I in case you missed it. (And full disclosure: I am not in this. I meant to be, but it's 9:15 p.m. and I have to run at 5:20 a.m. and I have no interest into changing into a sports bra and spandex right now. Raincheck. Promise.)
What Does a Mother Runner Look Like?
Dimity over at Another Mother Runner sent us a tweet earlier this week saying, "these
#motherrunners stand for exactly what you do: strength, confidence, beauty, awesomeness." She was right. Without disclosing too much information, we are happy to promote their photo essay, What a Mother Runner Looks Like. Please, feel free to participate in the project by sharing your photos! Be proud of your work, of your body and YOU! We will happily share and deliver photos to AMR on your behalf.
What Does a Mother Runner Look Like? 14 Exhibits and Counting
October 1, 2012; By, Dimity
So I've had this idea fermenting in my head for six months now: a photo essay titled What Does a Mother Runner Look Like? A collection of pictures that celebrates the bodies that have carried us through all kinds of miles. I want to show that kickass strong and stretch marks go together–and that, despite what the cover of Runner's World may broadcast, all sizes and shapes of bodies can be and are runners.I waffled for a long time, though, because I know how easily we women can fall into the how-great-is-her-body and how-much-does-mine-suck game? And I am not willing to promote those kind of sports. (Running? Yes. Jealousy? No.) So here's my caveat: if you're going to go into this post with a coveting attitude, covet just one thing: the fact that these women are so proud of their awesome, capable bodies, they're willing to put them on display.

Kicking Butt at Crossfit and Loving Every Minute
I started Crossfit exactly one month before my 29th birthday in August 2010. I was living in North Lake Tahoe and had been hearing about Crossfit from a number of friends, including one friend who was able to finally quit smoking and who totally transformed himself all in a couple of months. His results were inspiring, and I had also heard you got to jump around on things, swing on other things, and get upside down. I was so in! Those first couple of days I wasn't sure I'd be able to make that five minute stroll home because I was so frickin' sore.
I've always been active in a variety of different types of exercise, including cycling, triathlons (I can barely swim and I hate to run) Tae Bo, P90X, and more, but none were able to garner my short attention span for long. Crossfit has complemented my A.D.D. perfectly because there are literally hundreds of skills, movements, and lifts not just to learn but also to get the technique right. There's little time for boredom with Crossfit and I always have a list of things I want to accomplish; some of it is improving technique, some of it is doing a skill for the first time, and somewhere on that list is to run more, too.
Comfort Food Gets a Healthy Makeover
We spotted this article on Runner's World this morning as our little toes and fingers were freezing off and talk of soups, casseroles and hearty meals had us counting the clock for lunch. However, in gearing up for the holiday's we're doing our best to stay true to our fitness goals and maintain the hard earned shape we gained over the summer. Enter, this article! You know we love our cream and a good bar of chocolate, but there is no harm in implementing a few of the tips below to keep you feeling fresh after that big bowl of homemade chili. Enjoy!
Oh baby, it's cold outside. When the weather outside is less than forgiving—like it is where I live in Pittsburgh—comfort foods sound great. But some of these foods pack a pretty hefty calorie punch, which can make your next run feel more like a waddle. Here's how you can still eat your favorite winter foods in an enlightened way.

A commonsense book that helps parents help their children get the most out of learning and school by indicating what should be happening at given levels of the child's education. FROM CHAPTER ONE: "And so it is clear that the more parents can do to help their children reach full potential in school, the more likely the children are to find fulfillment in the competitive era ahead. This is a book meant to help parents achieve that goal; it is a blueprint for success. Parents must start early to groom their children for school. By the time a child is three years old, a substantial portion of his or her intelligence has already developed. And by the age of six, according to some experts, the child's whole future is determined."

medical history, physical exam, and lab tests
often point to celiac disease. The diagnosis is confirmed with a small
biopsy collected during an
endoscopy, where a small tube is guided
down a person's throat to the small intestine.
Tests for celiac disease should be done when you or your child is still eating a diet that includes gluten. If you have already started a gluten-free diet before these tests are done, the doctor may suggest that you or your child eat a certain amount of gluten before the tests.
Celiac disease triggers the
immune system to produce certain
antibodies. Blood tests that find and measure these
antibodies include:
A biopsy taken during an
upper gastrointestinal endoscopy may be done to
confirm celiac disease after antibodies have been found. Sometimes a biopsy
detects celiac disease when a person is being tested for another
If the biopsy shows signs of celiac disease
(such as abnormal villi and inflammation in the
small intestine), a
gluten-free diet will be recommended.
A diagnosis of
celiac disease is confirmed if the diet makes symptoms
go away and if antibody tests become normal.
Other tests that may be done
Tests to look for
other conditions and diseases may be needed if a diagnosis of
celiac disease is suspected but symptoms don't improve with a gluten-free diet.
You can prepare your child for these tests. Knowing why tests are being done and what to expect can help make the tests less scary.

An author of a document creates an electronic original (28) of the document in a word processor. The author prints (14) a hard copy (32) of the electronic original (28). An editor makes manual changes (36) to the hard copy (32), then scans it with a scanner, (40) creating a marked-up electronic copy (42). The marked-up electronic copy (42) and the electronic original (28) are compared, the original being subtracted from the marked-up copy creating a difference copy (48). The differences are assumed to be annotations, grouped, and inserted into the original document (28) as markers. The author can select the markers to make pictures of the annotations appear to aid in electronic editing.

20. The method as set forth in

21. The method as set forth in
[0001] The present invention relates to the text imaging arts. It finds particular application in conjunction with incorporating hand-written annotations into an electronic document, and will be described with particular reference thereto. However, it is to be appreciated that the present invention is also amenable to other like applications. For example, one might make notes on a paper copy of slides presented at a meeting and collect those hand written notes by extracting the underlying slide images. As another example, people might extract hand written information from a paper copy of an electronic form.
[0002] When editing an electronic document, the editor, simply stated, has two options. These options include editing the electronic copy directly, or printing a hard copy, making hand-written mark-up corrections to the hard copy, and changing the electronic copy later. The latter option is in most cases, preferable over the former. Briefly summarized, some of the reasons that people prefer marking-up a hard copy to marking-up an electronic copy follow. Physical cues on the paper give people a better sense of text. The layout of information changes on electronic documents as marks are added. The three dimensional nature of paper helps people organize and structure their work. Paper allows free form marking. Annotations on paper capture a history of interactions. Multiple editors can interact and communicate through written annotations. Lastly, hard copies require no presentation device, such as computers, PDAs, cellular phones, etc. For these and other reasons, marking-up a document from a hard copy is preferred over marking-up an electronic document.
[0003] While marking-up a hard copy does provide these advantages, it is often tedious and time consuming to try to associate the indicated changes with the electronic document. The document author must repeatedly reference the hard copy, which has the markings, and manually associate the marking with the unmarked electronic copy.
[0004] The present invention contemplates a new and improved annotation incorporation method and apparatus, which overcomes the above-referenced problems and others.
[0005] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method of integrating hand written annotations into an original electronic document is provided. An original electronic document is created with a word processor. A hard copy is printed and edited manually. The marked-up hard copy is scanned, producing a marked-up electronic copy. The marked-up electronic copy and the original are associated. Markers are inserted into the original electronic document indicating the manual changes.
[0006] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a document editing system is provided. A creating means, such as a word processor, creates an electronic original document. An output means, such as a printer, produces a hard copy of the original. An accepting means, such as a scanner, accepts a marked-up hard copy and renders a marked up electronic document. A comparing means compares the marked-up electronic copy and the electronic original. An indicating means indicates differences between the electronic original and the marked-up electronic copy.
[0007] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of document comparison is given. An electronic original is compared to a marked-up electronic copy of the original. Any information not found on the electronic original is extracted from the marked-up electronic copy. This additional information is grouped into individual annotations. Each annotation is associated with a spatial position. The annotations are included in the electronic original.
[0008] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of integrating hand written annotations into an original electronic document is provided. An original electronic document is created with a word processor. A hard copy is printed and marked-up manually. The marked-up hard copy is scanned, producing a marked-up electronic copy that includes the manual changes. The marked-up electronic copy and the original are associated. The association may include one of pixel-by-pixel comparison and optical character recognition (OCR). Pixel by pixel comparisons can be made on raster documents, perhaps generated for a printer from an editable file. OCR comparisons can be made on character-based documents such as an ASCII file. Markers are inserted into the original electronic document indicating the manual changes. The original is edited in accordance with the markers. The mark-ups are removed from the original document.
[0009] The invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps. The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
[0010]FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process in accordance with the present invention;
[0011]FIG. 2 is a flow diagram that illustrates in more detail the process of FIG. 1;
[0012]FIG. 3 is a flow diagram that illustrates a comparison step in accordance with the present invention;
[0013]FIG. 4 illustrates a grouping and locating action of a locator in accordance with the present invention;
[0014]FIG. 5 illustrates a conversion of annotations into viewable tabs in a display in accordance with the present invention.
[0015] With reference to FIG. 1, it is a process flow diagram 10 for the generation of a marked-up electronic document according to the concepts of the present application.
[0016] Initially, an original electronic document is created 12 through the use of an electronic original creating means.
[0017] hI one embodiment, a word processor based on a personal computer platform is used to create the electronic original. Microsoft� Word� is an exemplary word processor for use in conjunction with the present invention. When an author has completed a draft of the electronic original, the author prints the document in a step 14 with a printer or other hard copy rendering output means. Although a printer is one type of rendering output means, it is to be understood that the electronic document may be rendered in a hard copy by other means, such as a personal digital assistant, (PDA) portable document format (PDF) writer, photo shop image, and the like.
[0018] The author or party, which has been given the original electronic document by the author, will manually edit the hard copy. In particular, the person editing the document will have pages of paper on which they will use either pencil or pen to make edits to the document in a well-known fashion. Once the manual editing of the hard copy has been completed, this marked-up version, having both printed text and hand written text is scanned to create a scanned marked-up electronic copy 18.
[0019] At this point there exist the electronic original in step 12, and the scanned marked-up electronic copy generated in step 18. Next, a comparison step 20 compares the original and the scanned electronic copy to determine differences between the two versions. The differences will be the hand written edited notes made by the author or other user. The differences are added into the electronic original in step 22. The differences that are added may be supplied in different formats, showing the edited changes in full-blown text, or as icons representative of the hand written changes. Thereafter, in a step 24 the user may view the images while editing the original document.
[0020] Turning to FIG. 2, and with continuing reference to FIG. 1, the general process described in FIG. 1 is expanded upon to provide greater detail as to the operations taking place within the process flow diagram 10 of FIG. 1.
[0021] In particular, in the operational flow 26 of FIG. 2, an electronic original 28 created by electronic generation step 12 of FIG. 1, is printed by a printer 30 into a hard copy format 32.
[0022] In the present embodiment, the electronic original used to create the hard copy document 32 that was printed is placed in a document repository 33, or other means for storing the electronic original, from where it is later withdrawn to be associated with later versions of the document. The document repository 33 ensures that there will be a version available for future comparisons. The printing step 14 generates the printed version 32 with a machine readable mark 34, (best seen in FIG. 3) including but not limited to glyphs, (both encoded and non-encoded) barcodes, etc. that may be optically recognized later and associated with the version in the document repository 33. That is, the machine-readable mark 34 identifies the electronic original from other electronic originals that may also be stored in the repository (e.g. from different versions of the document). The machine-readable marks 34 may also vary according to page number, so that associating the document will be easier even if the pages are scanned out of order.
[0023] With continuing attention to FIGS. 1 and 2, an editor manually marks up the hard copy by making manual changes 36, producing a marked-up hard copy 38. This editing includes any changes that are made directly to the hard copy 32 outside of the word processor in which the electronic original 28 was created. One or more editors can edit the hard copy 32. The author of the document is also a potential editor of the document.
[0024] Once all of the desired marks have been made to the marked-up hard copy 38, it is processed by a means for accepting the hard copy. In the present embodiment, the marked-up hard copy 38 is scanned by a scanner 40 as in the scanning step 18 of FIG. 1, producing a marked-up electronic copy 42. It is to be understood that other means known in the art capable of rendering an electronic copy from a hard copy fall within the scope of the present invention. In the scanning operation the machine readable mark 34 is recognized, and the version to which the pending edited copy is to be compared is identified.
[0025] Alternately, in a case of multiple editors editing multiple hard copies, each hard copy is scanned, and the marks are extracted by a comment extractor 44 and condensed into a single marked-up electronic copy 42. In this embodiment, the annotations can be separated by color, a certain color corresponding with a certain group of annotations (e.g. a certain editor). The annotations can also be assigned different representation icons. Like the colors, the icons can be associated with a specific group of annotations or editor. Additionally, the date and time that the annotation was made can be associated with the icon or representation that is inserted in the document. More specifically, the associated date and time would be representative of when an editor scanned their marked-up hard copy and performed a comparison.
[0026] In the comparison step 20 of FIG. 1 the marked-up electronic copy 42 and the electronic original 28 are associated by a document comparison means 46. In the present embodiment, the electronic original 28 from the document repository 33 is rendered into an image format, such as a bitmap image or other appropriated format and compared with the scanned image of the marked-up electronic copy 42. The image representation of the electronic original 28 is aligned with the marked-up electronic copy 42 and subtracted from the marked-up electronic copy 42 bit by bit, creating a difference copy 48. That is, darkened or otherwise matching pixels that occur in both the marked-up electronic copy 42 and the image representation of the electronic original are removed from the marked-up electronic copy 42. The leftover pixels are the hand written annotations and are included in the difference copy 48. Image clean-up processing may be performed on the leftover pixels to remove spurious marks caused by streaking or speckle introduces into the scanning step.
[0027] In the present embodiment, and with attention to FIG. 3, the comparison means 46 uses the machine-readable mark 34 as a reference for alignment between the marked-up electronic copy 42 and the electronic original 28. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the comparitor 46 aligns the two images until the machine-readable marks 34 align. The image of the electronic original 28 is subtracted out, leaving only the annotations as the difference copy 48. Other methods of alignment may be used in conjunction with the present application. Particularly, edge alignment of the documents, may be an appropriate method of alignment in some instances. In other situations, alignment may be made by markings on the electronic document or scanned edited document other than the machine-readable marks 34. For instance, selected locations of the text themselves may be used for the alignment purposes.
[0028] Alternately, the marked-up electronic copy 42 is processed by an optical character recognition (OCR) system 50, the result of which is compared to the electronic original. This alternate comparison is performed on a character-by-character basis, rather than on a pixel-by-pixel basis. In this embodiment, the marked-up electronic copy 42 is run through an OCR program, the result of which is compared to the electronic original 28 itself within a word processor. Objects located by the OCR such as characters, text, or images not included in the electronic original 28 are assumed to be hand written annotations. The present OCR embodiment can also be applied to multiple editors, including the advantages of separating mark-ups made by different editors. It is to be assumed that the OCR algorithm is capable of recognizing objects other than text. Such objects include, but are not limited to, line art, such as in a Power Point presentation, printed images, and the like. For example, a person may make notes on printed copies of Power Point slides, and then compare them back to the electronic original slides, extracting their hand-written comments and saving them separately, or inserting them back into the original.
[0029] An annotation locator 52 groups and assigns spatial positions to the annotations that remain in the difference copy 48. In the present embodiment, and with reference to FIG. 4, and with continuing reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, markings of the difference copy are grouped according to their proximity to other markings. That is, any darkened pixels that are within a pre-determined distance of other darkened pixels are grouped together as a single annotation. As shown in FIG. 4, four separate annotations are grouped (A, B, C, D). In step 22, the locator 52 assigns each individual annotation a spatial position in the original document 28 based on the position of the annotation in the difference copy 48, and inserts the annotations into the electronic original. The author of the document can take the product of the adding step 22, that is, an annotated original 54, and edit this annotated original. When the author has made the desired changes, the annotations are removed from the document.
[0030] In the present embodiment, the annotations are stored as image files, references to which are inserted as markers into the original document 28. With reference to FIG. 5, the markers may be in the form of small tabs or flags at positions assigned by the locator 52. As shown in FIG. 5, the annotation that adds the word "gray" is represented as tab 60 on a human readable display 62. The line through the word "red" is assigned another tab 64 and displayed on the display 62. In another embodiment, easily electronically duplicated annotations are inserted directly into the display 62. The line through the word "Tuesday" is duplicated as a line 66 in the display 62. Easily duplicated annotations may be inserted in a color different than the color of the text of the electronic original 28. Such a color contrast helps the author identify easily duplicated annotations. In this embodiment, more complex annotations are still assigned tabs. The addition of the word "Friday" is assigned a tab 68 in the display 62. Preferably, when the author hovers the mouse pointer over, or otherwise selects one of these tabs, the image of the annotation itselfpops up in a display and the author can make the change as desired. In one embodiment, the pop up display is in a transparent .gif format so the author can still see what is behind the annotation while making a correction. It is to be understood that many other image formats that are known in the art are possible for the pop up annotations.
[0031] The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac Essential Training, Ted LoCascio teaches casual photographers how to organize, edit, and share their digital image libraries using this powerful software package from Adobe. He tours the included Adobe Bridge application, used for importing and organizing photographs, and explores every feature of Elements itself. He demonstrates how to navigate the Elements workspace, which is used to correct and improve images, combine them into projects, and produce slideshows, photo books, web galleries, and more. Ted also explains how to get the most out of each editing mode, and shares tips for correcting, retouching, and sharpening photographs. Example files accompany the course.
Elements contains several navigational tools and commands that allow you to control what is displayed in a document window. With this movie, I'd like to show you the various ways that you can zoom and scroll. I'm currently in the Bridge application and I'm viewing our catalog images inside of the Content panel. These are part of our exercise files. These are all of the images contained inside of the catalog images folder and what I want to do is just select a couple of random images here. I already have the first image in the series selected. I'm going to go ahead and Command-click on the blue iguana image as well.
So I'm going to go ahead and open up these images. We can choose File > Open if we like. That opens up the images inside of the Elements' Editing workspace. Inside of Elements now, we have both these images open and the first thing I want to make you aware of are these different ways that you can view your images. Up here, if you click on the far left option, that's the cascading option. That's the same as choosing Window > Images > Cascade. So a quick and easy way to do that is to click on the Cascade button over here. That means that the document windows which each of these are, are positioned on top of each other.
The other modes are the Tile mode, which makes the windows, if you have multiple images open, fit inside of your work area side by side. And then we have the Maximize mode, which will actually place an image inside of the document window to fill the work area. So now we have document windows on top of each other, but not cascading, filling up the entire work area. I'm going to go back to the Cascade mode and now I want to focus on zooming. Zooming means moving further into your image and zooming out of course will be moving further out away from the image.
So what I'm going to do now is first make you aware of the Zoom tool, which is over here. I already have it selected. When you're working with the Zoom tool, the easiest way to zoom is to just click, in order to zoom into an image incrementally like I'm doing now. Zooming further and to see the details of the image. If you're not sure how far you're zoomed in, you can refer to the value at the top of the document window. We're currently viewing the image at 100% or what's displayed down here on the lower left. The interesting thing about this value down here in the lower left is that you can actually highlight it and enter in a different value. Type in say, 50, press the Return key and now we've zoomed out. The advantage of using the Zoom tool is that you can focus in on a certain area of the image here and zoom into it, actually move to that area where you clicked. So that's kind of nice, you can do that.
We also have some various options. Again, you can type in a percentage up here, just like you could in the lower left of the document window, you can also do that up here, or you can click the down facing arrow and move the slider in order to zoom in and out. We also have some options to the right here and these have to do with when you're in the Cascading mode like we're now. If you choose Resize Windows To Fit, and then let's say zoom out. I'm going to hold down the Option key and click incrementally to zoom out, it will such resize the document window once you get small enough to not fit in the work area, which you can see that's what it's doing, resizing the window.
You can also zoom all windows, so if you have multiple windows opened and you're in this Cascade mode, turn that on, start clicking and now it's zooming the content in both document windows at once. Holding down the Option key, zooming out, doing that at once. So that's interesting. If are you ever looking at images side by side, you may want to do that. So let's say if you're maybe inspecting for sharpness, you want to get both of these in an 100% or at least zoomed in far enough above 100% to actually, really inspect the image and take a look to see if there's maybe too much noise or something you might want to reduce. So one way to do that with multiple images opened at once.
Next thing I'd like to show you is how to work with these commands up here, Zoom In and Zoom Out. Now these are the commands that I generally use the most rather than working with the tool. The first reason for that is I can use this keyboard shortcut, which I find a lot easier to use rather than having to actually switch tools. So what I'm going to do is show you how to do this. Before I do, I'm going to show you this Preference though. Let's go into General Preferences. It is this guy right here it's actually already enabled, it says Zoom Resizes Windows. That has to do when you're working with these commands. I'm going to click OK and when I use the command of Command+ Plus, it has now resized the window.
Command+Minus to zoom out and resizing again. Again, this only matters when you're working in this Cascading mode here, zooming in, zooming out and resizing the window as we do. If you're in the Maximize mode, none of that really matters. You're just going to see this great area surrounding the image as you zoom in and zoom out and usually, that's what I will do. So I would like to focus in on just image at a time. Most of the time, zooming in and out using these commands, Command+Plus and Command+Minus.
One other way that you can scroll quickly and easily without even putting your fingers on the keyboard is to use the scroll wheel. So I'm going to go over here into Preferences one more time, General. In the General panel, at the very bottom here we have Zoom With Scroll Wheel. As long as there's check mark in that box and you have a mouse that has a scroll wheel in it, you can zoom in and out incrementally, like I'm doing now using the scroll wheel and that's a nice way to work as well. The next thing has to do with scrolling. But as you know, I'm going to go ahead in the Cascade mode again here. We have the scroll bars on the right and in the bottom of the document window. So if you get zoomed into a certain percentage where you're really zoomed in here, these things of course, resize themselves and you can use them to scroll up or down or left or right. That's the most obvious way to scroll.
Another way of course, is to use the scroll tool. That's the hand tool over here. When you select that tool, you have your own set of options up here just like you do with the Zoom tool. Notice that if I move this off to this side here and turn on Scroll All Windows. I'm in Cascading mode like that, I can actually scroll the content of both images. Again, just like with the Zoom tool, this can be helpful when you're inspecting images for noise or for sharpness both at the same time moving around to see the content and see what's actually going on with these images. Kind of nice that you can do that, turn that off. So all you really do with that tool click and drag, click and drag.
I want to make you aware of a keyboard shortcut in order to access this tool temporarily, no matter what tool you have selected in the Tools palette. If I say I have the Move tool selected and I'm working with say the blue Iguana image and I'm going to go ahead and put it in the Maximize mode here like I normally would and let's say I'm zoomed in here to 78.6% and I want to scroll around the image to access different part of it, I can just hold down the Spacebar and as long as I keep it held down, notice that the cursor changes to the Hand tool. I can then click and drag in order to reposition the image inside of the document window, scrolling with the Hand tool. When I led up on the Spacebar, I'm back to the Move tool or whatever tool you have accessed in here.
So that is I think the quickest and the easiest way to scroll around your image rather than using the scroll bars, rather than accessing the tool unless you're going to use the Scroll All Windows feature that I just showed you. I think it's better to just access the hand tool temporarily by holding down the Spacebar and then clicking and dragging. So what we learned in this movie is the various ways that we can navigate around the document window. We learned a little bit about these different modes Cascading, Tiling and the Maximized mode. We learned that we can use keyboard shortcuts to zoom. We can also use keyboard shortcuts to scroll temporarily access the Hand tool. We learned that we can use the keyboard shortcuts of Command+Plus or Command+Minus to zoom in and out as opposed to using the Zoom tool and we also learned that you can zoom with the scroll wheel as long as you have the Preference turned on.

Album reviews: Miley Cyrus's new album shows promise
"Bangerz" Miley Cyrus, (RCA)
For all the antics that Miley Cyrus has demonstrated in the last few months the wardrobe selections (or lack thereof), the outrageous quotes, the awkward twerking and the rest of her wild child behavior she could easily grab attention if she did one thing: let her music speak for itself.
Cyrus' "Bangerz," her fourth album, is a collection that marks the 20-year-old's musical breakthrough. The former "Hannah Montana" star kicks off the 13-track set with "Adore You," a downbeat song about love. Other tracks that follow with that energy "Wrecking Ball," "My Darlin"' and "Somewhere Else" capture a more mature, nuanced side of Cyrus that we haven't seen much of and that's a welcome change. When she explores the different emotions of her character and doesn't play the caricature that she's become, you're able to appreciate Cyrus as an artist.
If using the phrase "artist" and Cyrus is shocking, it follows the theme of "Bangerz" which surprises you, in a good way. When Cyrus teased the album with the radio-friendly party anthem "We Can't Stop" a song originally created for Rihanna and said producers would include Pharrell, Dr. Luke and will.i.am, the album seemed like it was going to be a hit machine in the vein of Rihanna or Katy Perry. But Cyrus' jams don't sound like insta-hits; some tracks even feel experimental as she blends elements of alternative, upbeat pop, soft rock with hints of R&B and hip-hop.
The Britney Spears-assisted "SMS (Bangerz)" and the Pharrell-produced "#GETITRIGHT" are addictive, feel-good, up-tempo pop tunes; "FU" guess what it stands for has Cyrus semi-angry over a dramatic beat, and it makes for an overall punchy and amazing track; and "4x4," featuring Nelly, is a pop-twang adventure. Even "Do My Thang" where Cyrus isn't too convincing as a rapper sounds good thanks to the groovy hook that she sings, and will.i.am's Southern hip-hop-flavored beat.
Cyrus' outlandish behavior is helping her get attention. She's become a social media queen, the talk of every news program and music's "it" girl, even stealing thunder from new releases by Perry and Lady Gaga. It's good for the Pop Star Cyrus, but for Artist Cyrus? Not so much. Aside from everything that made headlines following her MTV Video Music Awards performance, vocally she was horrific (she should also learn some better dance moves).
When less is happening onstage, Cyrus sounds better check out her strong singing in a gritty rendition of "Wrecking Ball" on this past weekend's "Saturday Night Live." If Cyrus would concentrate more on showcasing her music than trying to become the latest shock queen, perhaps we wouldn't be shocked that "Bangerz" is a good album.
She should focus less on the antics and let her music do the talking and keep that Sinead O'Connor letter in her back pocket (whenever her outfit allows it).
Joe Nichols changes direction, not quality
"Crickets" Joe Nichols, (Red Bow)
After eleven years as one of the most effective traditional country singers of his generation, Joe Nichols crosses over to rocking contemporary songs, most of them about seducing young women and sentimentalizing the rural lifestyle.
Nichols' beefy baritone gives more muscle to these up-tempo celebrations than most of the younger male artists currently topping the charts. Nichols has always been good at injecting personality into novelty songs, and he elevates even the corniest of these formulaic tunes ("Yeah," "Hee Haw") by giving them a swagger equal to that of Tim McGraw and Trace Adkins. Give him a memorable song like "Gotta Love It" — reminiscent of Nichols' 2010 top hit "Gimmie That Girl" — and he stands above most of the new country stars to rise in his wake.
Nichols frontloads "Crickets" with his aggressive attempt to fit into modern country conventions. But he reminds everyone of what an outstanding, old-fashioned country singer he can be when he uses the tail end of the 16-song collection to present the philosophical "Old School Country Song," about how chat rooms and cellphones don't soften the pain of heartbreak, and a fine cover of Merle Haggard's classic "Footlights."
Here's hoping Nichols' contemporary move helps keep this traditionalist relevant and on the charts.
Kenny Rogers takes chances on new album
"You Can't Make Old Friends" Kenny Rogers, (Warner Bros.)
Kenny Rogers enters his 75th year with an album that blends the familiar with the challenging, seeking new hits and pursuing new ideas even as he enters the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall.
His age occasionally shows in the raggedness at the edges of his vocal tone. But Rogers always made the huskiness of his voice work for him, and that holds true through most of these 11 new songs. Impressively, he hits high, forceful notes when required, matching longtime duet partner Dolly Parton on the soaring passages of the wistfully sentimental title tune, which would have fit on any of his solo albums from decades past.
On the progressive side, Rogers tackles the struggles of a Mexican immigrant on the Spanish-tinged ballad "Dreams Of The San Joaquin;" a jaunty Gulf Coast dance tune on "Don't Leave Me in the Night Time," featuring accordionist Buckwheat Zydeco; and a complex narrative about fighting darkness in the modern world on "Turn This World Around," a duet with young singer-songwriter Eric Paslay.
He occasionally reaches too far, as in "'Merica," certainly the first patriotic tune to reference a spanked child and a drunken uncle. For the most part, though, Rogers proves he can still deliver the romantic ballads and dramatic narratives on which his reputation rests.
Sleigh Bells miss mark on 'Bitter Rivals'
"Bitter Rivals" Sleigh Bells, (Mom + Pop)
Brooklyn noise pop duo Sleigh Bells' new album, "Bitter Rivals," is an unfortunate thing. Perhaps singer Alexis Krauss and guitarist Derek Miller overthought the scope of their art.
In an effort to be heavy and edgy, Sleigh Bells have slathered too much production bass and ham-fisted fuzz over their own valuable talents. This is smarty-pants angst drifting in a sea of cliche lyrics and simplistic song structure.
The title track is a mess of indecisive pace and "Minnie," for its aggressive assault, is tempered by a refrain that finds Krauss singing in a small child's voice. Had the album, the group's third, channeled the zeitgeist of guitar played by Miller on "Tiger Kit," easily the best track, Sleigh Bells would have been much better off.
Sleigh Bells sounded more pure on last year's "Reign of Terror." Their power felt less contrived on tracks from that album such as "Crush" and "Comeback Kid." But that was then and this is now, and "Bitter Rivals" is much less than their best.
Pusha T's raps superb. Album? Not so much
Pusha T proves he is one of hip-hop's most skillful lyricists on his debut album, "My Name Is My Name."
The rapper is hardly new. He rose to prominence as half of the grimy rap sibling duo the Clipse, whose music played out like the soundtrack to "The Wire." On "My Name is My Name," Pusha T once again mines his past in the dope trade for material.
Rapping about slinging drugs is hardly a new topic, and some would say it's a tired one. But Pusha T's storytelling, imagery, and superb rap skills make it worth hearing from his vantage point.
Unfortunately, Pusha T's lyrical brilliance gets dragged down by the extraneous elements of the "My Name is My Name." The 12-track album features appearances from Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Future, Young Jeezy and Kelly Rowland, but suffers from unimpressive production.
Kanye West and Swizz Beatz fail to pull the life out of Brown's voice on the mediocre track, "Sweet Serenade." "S.N.I.T.C.H." is a compelling story about a friend looking to rat on someone, hoping to be freed from jail, but the music on the Pharrell Williams-produced track doesn't hold up.
There are some bright spots. On "Nosetalgia," Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar take turns recounting life before stardom, while the impressive Ross-assisted "Hold On," features West harmonizing. "Who I Am" with 2 Chainz and Big Sean, and the Pharrell-produced "Suicide" featuring Ab-Liva are also enjoyable listens.
In all, Pusha T puts on a strong performance. But the patchy production is what prevents "My Name" from being considered as one of the top hip-hop albums of the year.

Smart grid impact: 7 projects that could make a real difference
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
How many different ways can smart grid technologies positively impact our world? You may be surprised. Scroll down and onto page 2 where we've highlighted seven projects with the potential to make a difference in lives, livelihoods and/or the world at large - all in very different ways.
What NASCAR drivers and electric utilities have in common: In the "you learn something new every day" category comes this story from NBCNews.com, which explains how a $4.1 million Department of Energy effort to improve forecasting of when the sun is going to shine will benefit race car drivers too. Apparently cloud cover affects track temperatures, which affect how well race car wheels grip the pavement. (That's the "who knew" part.) So that's why the DOE program intended to help electric utilities better gauge how much electricity their solar plants will generate will also benefit NASCAR drivers - and another who knows - maybe your local TV station's weather forecaster too. Read more >>
Why smarter water is no drop in the bucket: We added a smart water channel to the Smart Grid News website last year because it was becoming increasingly clear that in the "big picture" we need to think in terms of smart infrastructure -- and how smart electric grids and smart water grids are both part of it. With that in mind, we appreciated this reminder from Sensus about how smarter water systems do make a difference. Example: Chesterfield County, South Carolina, where residents were losing several hundred gallons of water a day due to faulty plumbing. Since implementing Sensus smart water meters, Chesterfield County has decreased water loss by more than 50%. It's the same story in Missouri, where the City of O'Fallon's unaccounted for water - a big problem for water utilities - has dropped from 18% to 10% since implementing a smart water network, according to the city.

SMUD and Stem team for solar pilot: In a two-year research project to analyze the impact of high penetration solar photovoltaics (PV) on the electric grid, Sacramento Municipal Utility District will deploy technology from Stem, a provider of energy optimization services. During the first phase of the project Stem and SMUD will work with residential and commercial customer volunteers from a solar-powered community to install Stem's PowerMonitor data collection and analysis solution to better understand the amount of PV that can be added to a distribution feeder while maintaining grid stability and power quality. A potential follow-on phase may see SMUD deploying Stem's distributed storage systems to test the potential for automatic, fast-responding distributed storage to improve power quality for customers on circuits with high penetration of PV. Read more >>
And finally, helping light up rural India: Teaming with Sachin Tendulkar - an icon in cricket circles - Schneider Electric is providing its solar home lighting systems to thousands of Indian villagers who struggle to get reliable access to electricity. As Schneider explains it, the partnership came about when Tendulkar was introduced to Schneider's In-Diya Lighting System - a specially designed LED-based lighting system that can operate on main power supply and/or solar power, and provides backup ranging from 8 to 15 hours for indoor use. Aware of the challenges faced by many villages, Tendulkar shared his wish with Schneider of "taking In-Diya to the real India" where the need for such a product is acute. Schneider says its culture of social responsibility kicked in and - working with Tendulkar and the nonprofit Spreading Happiness -- the initiative has already rolled out a pilot project in Velunje, Nashik in Maharashtra.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Former Diamondback Brandon Webb to retire
Brandon Webb last pitched in a Major League Baseball game on Opening Day in 2009.
The ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks' staff, Webb had been an All-Star three times and won the NL Cy Young Award in 2006.
The right-hander got shelled that afternoon, allowing six earned runs in just four innings of work. He walked two and struck out two.
It was learned soon after that Webb had problems with his shoulder, and what followed was a lengthy and fruitless rehab process that never led to the pitcher returning to the mound in a big league game.
And now, as reported by ESPN.com baseball writer Jerry Crasnick , instead of continuing to throw towels in hopes of healing, Webb is throwing in the towel on his MLB career.
Webb hangs up the cleats with a record of 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA. He pitched 1,319.2 innings, allowing 1,200 hits and 435 walks. He struck out 1,065 batters and tallied eight career shutouts.
Webb ranks third on the D-backs' all-time list in ERA and is second in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started and shutouts.

"Very beautiful & sophisticated. Timeless & classic design. Beautiful colours that match similar real flowers. The font is great & easy to read. Highly recommend."
"We were very happy with this Save The Date. We were able to customize the colors how we wanted. The delivery time was very quick."
"I was worried because I read a review that the colors were not as pictured online. I disagree. The background is beige, writing is brown, and top design is green. I'm really happy with my save-the-dates. They are really elegant and I highly recommend!! The only thing that was different than I expected was the size. (which to be honest, I didn't even read the dimensions before ordering). They are smaller than I had pictured them but I am actually happy about that."
"I found this site by google search because the other sites that sold magnets were so expensive! I absolutely loved the magnets I ordered here for my Save The Date! I did a basic "Save the date" with the names, date, and city/state. I was nervous that may not turn out well since I didn't have a picture, but MAN they look SOOOOO CLASSY & ELEGANT!!!!! I absolutely LOVE them! Shipping was super fast'! I ordered them on a Friday and had them in my hands my Tuesday (my order was for 175 magnets & 215 envelopes). I will definitely use this sure again for other needs!!!!"
"These magnets look great as a save the date! I love the design but changed the font so it was easier to read. I used 'Andante' for Save the Date and 'Mrs Eaves All Small Caps' and 'Mrs Eaves Italics' for the names and other text. Really happy with the quality."
