Naitik hurts Akshara
Naitik was in need of sum new designs to show to his clients but was unable to contact Sneha. So Akshara decides to help him. She makes sum designs n shows them to Rashmi n asks her views abt them. Rashmi praises them a lot n runs to Naitik to show them to him. Both reach living room where BM, Gaya3 n Naitik were present. Akshara tried to stop Rashmi but she showed them to Naitik n told him dat Akshara made dese designs n aren't good? Naitik asks Akshara y she made them..Akshara replies as he cudn't contact Sneha so she thot of helping him. Naitik luks at designs n starts laughing loudly n says to Askhara y she made them..she shud do those tasks only vich she is gud at.. like making "baingan ka bharta n matar panner". Akshara becomes sad hearing this n leaves from dere. Poor Askhara ..she was so hurt ..she worked so hard n Naitik juss made fun of her infront of all!!
Akshara says .."oh it is not such a big prob..it keeps hppng..u dun worry"!!
Akshara jee worry to aap kar rhi h..!!
Nandini tells Mohit dat once Naitik n Akshraa went to Mt. Abu n missed their bus n so dey had to walk through the forest to make their way!!
But Nandini bitiya Naitik aur Akshara to kabhi saath me Mt. Abu gaye hi nhi..wo to Daman gaye the!!
Lagta hai aap confuse ho gyi
Akshara gets to know that it was Sneha who got the red flowers and feels insecure. She throws the red flowers into the dustbin and replaces it by Yellow flowers (though earlier she liked them as she dint know who got it).When Naitik asks for the reason, she says Yellow flowers are much better..Hina acted very well here. Akshara also makes designs for Naitik, but he laughs at it.Akshara feels really bad about it.Then gayatri consoles akshara by saying these designs are very nice, she says she's proud of her daughter-in-law , as she is good at everything.Akshara is happy after listening to her words.A superb scene.The saas-bahu convo was lovely. Naitik also pacifies akshara by telling she has a special place in his heart, and says designers come and go, but "Biwi to ek hi rahegi".Overall a fab episode .

Cherries and raspberries make a wonderful pairing. The consistency is just right and it is good on everything from homemade bread to yogurt.
Really, really good!

The unique intelligence-sharing arrangement between the United States and Britain will survive the latest navel-gazing announced by David Cameron, a senior American intelligence official said yesterday.
However, the impact of the judge-led inquiry into the allegations of British complicity in the use of torture on terrorist detainees by American intelligence agents could have repercussions depending on the "political decibels" that arise from such a comprehensive examination of MI5, MI6 and their modus operandi, the official told The Times.
When the issue of alleged complicity by an MI5 officer in the claimed torture of Binyam Mohamed was first aired, there were

I'm no math major but these are some TERRIBLE numbers. What in the world is going on with this company?
The company is a commodity based asset play. Earnings will be 'lumpy' with wide swings. If one is worried about earnings for a particular quarter or about missing some analyst's supposed 'guidance' by a penny than this is probably not a stock that you want to own.
The 'highlight' of the release is the joint venture in Canada.
Hopefully some additional info on the CC especially in regards to any new opportunities.
Either they didn't take the $45 million write-down on their unsecured credit loss at Oltchim (which would be worrisome as it hurts the credibility of their "assets") or they tried to hide it in SG&A which would explain the 'disappointing' net income but is also worrisome as it shows they are not ready to admit their massive failure in risk management.
Just as with Goa, Uganda and most of their other operations, disclosure remains non-existent. You can only keep holding if you believe the numbers, but unfortunately they are becoming less and less believeable if you connect the dots.

What Is Acetaminophen?
Acetaminophen is a pain reliever found in over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications. It's the active ingredient in Tylenol. It's also called "paracetamol" and may be labeled APAP on prescription medications.
It's available in doses for infants, children, and adults. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), taking too much acetaminophen, which is more than 4 grams, or 4,000 milligrams, per day for adults, can damage your liver. However, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, which is the maker of Tylenol, recently lowered their recommended maximum dose from 4,000 to 3,000 milligrams. Many pharmacists and doctors also recommend taking no more than 3,000 milligrams of acetaminophen per day.
In severe cases, acetaminophen overdose can be fatal. Overdosing is especially common in children, who may receive too much medicine or may accidentally ingest it.
Call 911 or the National Capital Poison Center at 800-222-1222 immediately if you believe that you, your child, or someone you know may have overdosed.
When to Seek Medical Help
Seek emergency care if any of the following criteria are met, regardless of whether you or your child is experiencing symptoms:
- A child who is 5 years old or younger has taken at least 91 milligrams of acetaminophen per pound of body weight within eight hours.
- A child who is 6 years old or older has taken at least 91 milligrams of acetaminophen per pound of body weight, or at least 10 grams of acetaminophen total (whichever is less) within 24 hours.
- A person of any age has taken at least 68 milligrams of acetaminophen per pound of body weight, or 6 grams of acetaminophen total (whichever is less) per 24-hour period for 48 hours or longer.
The symptoms of liver damage usually don't appear for at least 12 hours after an overdose. They may include:
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- yellowing of the skin and eyes, which is called jaundice
- sweating
- irritability
- a loss of appetite
Seek emergency treatment if you notice these symptoms, regardless of how much medicine you suspect was taken.
Causes of Acetaminophen Overdose
When adults overdose on acetaminophen, it's often because they don't feel relief from taking the recommended dose and they take more. Also, you may unknowingly take multiple medications containing acetaminophen within a short period. For example, you may double your dose by taking painkillers followed by cold medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Always check product labels to ensure that you're not taking a double dose. According to the FDA, some products may list a recommended daily dose that's lower than 4,000 milligrams total. For this reason, it's important to read all medication labels carefully and thoroughly.
The National Capital Poison Center also recommends you tell your doctor about all prescription and OTC medications that were taken to ensure you aren't taking excessive amounts. Sometimes, such as in the case of chronic pain, your doctor may prescribe pain medications that exceed the recommended daily dose of 4,000 milligrams. However, you shouldn't do this unless your doctor prescribes it.
Talk to your doctor if you drink three or more alcoholic beverages per day. Alcohol lowers your body's tolerance for acetaminophen and can cause further damage to your liver.
Children may overdose in the same way as adults, but the cause is more often caretaker error. For example, you may give your child a dose of acetaminophen when they come home, without knowing that the babysitter has just given them a dose. Caretakers may also measure doses incorrectly or accidentally give too large of a dose. Using a recommended dropper or measuring cup instead of a household spoon can help minimize this risk.
Children may also eat or drink acetaminophen because they enjoy the flavor. Sometimes, they can mistake medicines for candy or juice.
Why Is Acetaminophen Overdose Dangerous?
When you consume acetaminophen, your body turns it into a metabolite that's toxic to your liver. When your liver can't effectively remove the toxin from your body, your liver may be damaged. The dose of medication may be too high for your body size, or you may have a poorly functioning liver. Some people who are prone to liver damage, such as those with alcoholism, can suffer severe symptoms by slightly exceeding the recommended dose.
Treating Acetaminophen Overdose
Call 911 or the National Capital Poison Center at 800-222-1222 if you or your child may have overdosed. The phone line is monitored 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Also, seek emergency care if you notice any symptoms of an overdose within 24 hours of taking pain medicine. Keep the medicine bottle on hand if possible. Emergency personnel may want to record details about the formula.
Your doctor will test the level of acetaminophen in your blood if you're hospitalized. You may be given medication to diffuse the toxic effects of the drug. In some cases, gastric lavage, or stomach pumping, is necessary.
Most cases of acetaminophen overdose are treated successfully. Overdose is usually only fatal if severe liver damage goes untreated.
Preventing Acetaminophen Overdose
You can take the following steps to prevent acetaminophen overdose:
- Avoid giving your child pain medicine or taking it yourself unless it's necessary to relieve pain or bring down a high fever.
- Measure recommended doses of liquid medicine using the dropper included in the package.
- Use your child's weight to determine the dose and to make sure that the formula is meant for their age group.
- For help finding the right products and doses, always ask a pharmacist for help the first time you buy acetaminophen to give to your child. Check with your pharmacist before buying any OTC medication for your child to make sure you have the right product.
- To get help understanding how to give acetaminophen to your children safely anytime, go to KnowYourDose.org. This site has clear information about acetaminophen dosing by age, and you can download a chart to keep at home.
- Secure medications in locked drawers or cabinets. Keep records of the medications your child is taking and share them with caregivers. Ask caregivers to record the time they gave your child medicine and the dose.
- Read the labels on all medications you use or give to your children. Avoid taking multiple products that list acetaminophen as an ingredient, and avoid taking acetaminophen with alcohol.
- Acetaminophen is a mild pain reliever, and it doesn't relieve severe pain. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have pain that's not relieved by the maximum dose. You may need a different medication or treatment.
Follow the Dosing Instructions
Follow the dosing instructions on each individual package of medication. Don't assume that multiple packages can be measured in the same way. Even if both packages are the same brand, they could have different dosing instructions due to recent changes in formula concentrations ordered by the FDA. For example, older packages of Children's Tylenol may be less concentrated than Infants' Tylenol. Newer packages of both Tylenol for children and infants and the generic versions of acetaminophen for children and infants aren't made in the same strength. They also have different dosing instructions.

HERSHEY, Pa. – The HERSHEY BEARS announced today that the club has recalled forward Alex Berry from the ECHL's Reading Royals. The announcement was made by BEARS President/GM Doug Yingst.
Berry, 26, has appeared in 13 games with the Royals and has recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists) to tie for the team lead in scoring.
The 6-2, 220-pound native of Danvers, MA missed the entire 2011-12 season due to injury. During the previous season, Berry posted AHL career highs in goals (14), assists (20), points (34) and penalty minutes (150) in 75 games with the Norfolk Admirals. He was also selected as Norfolk's IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year for his efforts in the community.
Berry spent most of the 2009-10 season with the AHL Toronto Marlies, appearing in 55 games and totaling seven points (three goals, four assists). He also recorded five assists in five regular-season games with the Royals, and went on to help Reading into the American Conference finals with two goals and four assists in 16 Kelly Cup playoff contests.
Prior to turning pro, Berry played four years of college hockey at UMass-Amherst (HE), where he lettered in all four years and put up 62 points (29 goals, 33 assists) in 124 career games.
The BEARS will travel north to battle the Syracuse Crunch on Friday, November 16 at 7:30 PM. The team returns home to take on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Saturday, November 17 at 7:00 PM.

If you want to record history, you have to be in position.
Kentucky Basketball TV did just, logging hours of behind-the-scenes footage during the Wildcats' 2014-15 men's basketball season. Though the team, which included lottery picks Karl Anthony-Towns, Trey Lyles and Devin Booker, ultimately fell short of its goal of going undefeated and winning a national title, nobody's going to let all that good video go to waste. A documentary, "Let's Ball," chronicles the team's journey to an SEC title, a No. 1 overall seed and a berth in the Final Four. It will be released Oct. 13.

A Tale of Love, Escape in Bulger Case Hearing
FBI Details Bulger and Greig's Life on the Run in Bail Hearing for Girlfriend
BOSTON—Alleged crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger and his longtime companion Catherine Greig used more than a dozen aliases, including the identities of real people, while they were on the run for 16 years, government prosecutors said Monday.
Arguing against bail for the 60-year-old Ms. Greig, who is being held on federal charges of harboring a fugitive, prosecutors alleged that the couple went to elaborate lengths to stay one step ahead of the government. They also said Ms. Greig's identical twin sister, who has offered to put her South Boston home up as collateral, helped Ms. Greig leave Boston with Mr. Bulger in 1995 and later had phone calls with her sister.
The sister, Margaret McCusker, declined to comment as she left U.S. District Court here. A federal magistrate extended the bail hearing until Wednesday.
Ms. Greig, a former dental hygienist, was led into the courtroom shackled and wearing blue prison garb and sneakers, but looked relaxed as she smiled at Ms. McCusker, who was sitting in the courtroom's front row. Her blond hair, shown in old Federal Bureau of Investigation photos, is now short and gray, and she appears thin and fit.
She is being held in a jail in Rhode Island and has denied harboring Mr. Bulger. The 81-year-old Mr. Bulger pleaded not guilty last week to multiple racketeering charges that include allegations of extortion, drug distribution, possessing illegal weapons, money laundering and 19 murders between 1973 and 1985. He is in federal custody in a jail south of Boston.
The couple was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., on June 22, on a tip from a former neighbor after the FBI launched a TV campaign focused on Ms. Greig, who was described by authorities as a pet lover and beauty-parlor regular with well-tended teeth.
Ms. Greig was Mr. Bulger's "traveling companion," and there is no evidence that she "actually harbored or concealed" Mr. Bulger with the intent to prevent his arrest, her lawyer, Kevin J. Reddington, argued in a court filing in support of her release, pending trial.
He argued that Ms. Greig posed no danger to the community and had deep ties to the Boston area, where she was born and raised and still owned a house. Ms. Greig has offered her Quincy, Mass., home, valued at $350,000 or more, as well as Ms. McCusker's South Boston home, valued at $500,000 or more, as collateral, the filing said.
"By all accounts, she is considered by family, neighbors and acquaintances as a kind, gentle person with a loving personality," Mr. Reddington wrote.
Both Ms. Greig and Mr. Bulger were raised in South Boston, a peninsula that extends into Boston Harbor. In court Monday, government prosecutors didn't say just how Ms. Greig met the much older Mr. Bulger, but said that by the mid-1990s they had been a couple for years, with Mr. Bulger, who had served time for bank robbery as a younger man, keeping his weight-lifting belt inscribed with the name of Alcatraz prison at her house.
While Mr. Bulger was dating Ms. Greig, he was dating another woman, Teresa Stanley, FBI special agent Michael Carazza testified Monday. Mr. Bulger and Ms. Greig had a breakup, initiated by Ms. Greig in the fall of 1994. That fall, Mr. Bulger traveled to Italy, England and Ireland with Ms. Stanley. Mr. Bulger fled Boston around Christmas 1994, when he heard from a retired FBI agent that he was about to be indicted, Mr. Carazza said.
Ms. Stanley was to accompany him but wanted to come home, so in early 1995, Mr. Bulger, driving a new black Mercury Grand Marquis, dropped her off at her daughter's house in Boston and arranged to have Ms. Greig join him, Mr. Carazza said.
Mr. Bulger's longtime associate Kevin Weeks met Ms. Greig at a local park, where she had been dropped off by her sister, Ms. McCusker, who had also agreed to watch Ms. Greig's poodles, Nicki and Gigi, Mr. Carazza said. Ms. Greig, who carried a bag and Ms. McCusker's driver's license, had left $100,000 with a family friend, he said.
Mr. Weeks then drove Ms. Greig to Malibu Beach in Dorchester, a Boston neighborhood, to meet Mr. Bulger, Mr. Carazza said. The two were later to live for years near Malibu Beach in California.
Mr. Weeks, who pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in 2000 and became a government witness against Mr. Bulger, wrote about that meeting in his book, "Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob."
Mr. Bulger arrived in his black sedan wearing a Stetson hat and a black leather jacket, according to Mr. Weeks, who wrote: "Cathy went right to him and gave him a big hug. The two of them embraced a long minute, making a dramatic scene, sort of like out of 'Casablanca.' "
Alleging that the couple created an elaborate ruse to hide their whereabouts, prosecutors said Ms. Greig had used multiple aliases, including to purchase prescription medicine in Southern California. A search of the couple's Santa Monica apartment also found AARP cards, prosecutors said.

Taking a Bike-Riding Tour of Oak Cliff's Community Gardens, No Permits Necessary
The St. Cecilia's Community Garden was on yesterday's tour
Andrea Grimes
Sunday afternoon, a horde of be-SPF'd cyclists gathered outside Eno's in Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District to launch an extremely polite two-wheeled assault on Oak Cliff. The "Spring Has Sprung Garden Ride" was more of a summer-is-in-your-face ride, but it didn't stop the pack of riders (and their kids) from biking to five different community gardens, co-ops and beautification projects.
Led by Jason Roberts (of Happy Bullets fame, music fans take note -- get it, NOTE) and a very handsome sandy-haired man on a red bike whose name I don't remember (I'm just a reporter, after all), the bike ride took us from Bishop Arts to the Oak Cliff Temple community garden -- where we saw their first fruit, an adorable lil' tomato -- then the Methodist Hospital community garden, then the St. Cecilia's school garden (kids rigging rainwater-catching systems, pretty awesome), then to the Jefferson Median Project and, lastly, to the Urban Acres Farm Store.
At each stop, reps from the various gardens talked about their projects, all of which add a little bit of home-grown beauty and earnest community service to empty patches of South Dallas land. (Attn: Ron Natinsky, City of Dallas, etc.) Keep an eye on Bike Friendly Oak Cliff and Oak Cliff Community Gardens for upcoming events.

The invention relates to a method for generating descriptors for the classification of natural language texts.
The classification of a text is an assignment to a specific text class and is an important preprocessing step for the automatic further processing of texts. In particular for the automatic interpretation of texts, a preceding classification is of considerable importance because in this manner the expenditure for the knowledge base which needs to be maintained such as, e.g., dictionary memory, syntactic and semantic structure definition, can be limited considerably and the recognition performance can be greatly increased.
Text classification can be divided roughly into two steps, namely the extraction of descriptors and, based on this, the assignment to a class. The selection of the descriptors is of essential importance. The selection is a problem especially for natural language texts having a variety of word forms.
For texts in the English language, which has a small morphological variation, the use of complete word forms or phrases is proposed in "Feature Selection and Feature Extraction for Text Categorization" by D. Lewis in Proc. of Speech and Natural Language Workshop 1992. For classification tasks in morphologically richer languages, word segments can be used as descriptors, with, e.g., the text being broken down into n-grams in "N-Gram-Based Text Categorization" by Canvar/Trenkle in Proc. of Int. Symp. on Document Analysis and Information Retrieval 1994, or use of a reduction to basic forms in "Using IR Techniques for Text Classification in Document Analysis" by R. Hoch in Proc. of SIGIR, 1994.
While the n-gram breakdown results in a very large number of descriptors, the reduction to basic forms requires an expensive analysis for the preparation of the necessary knowledge base. The known procedures are also susceptible to errors in the examined texts, such as typing errors or recognition errors in the character recognition or language recognition.
It is the object of the present invention to propose a method for generating descriptors which, in a simple manner, generates an amount of descriptors suitable for the classification on the basis of training texts.
This is achieved in a method for classifying a natural language text by means of descriptors including the steps of extracting word forms during a training phase on the basis of a plurality of training texts, carrying out a breakdown of word forms occurring in the text in such a manner that longer word forms, which comprise shorter word forms occurring in the text, are broken down into the shorter word forms and optimally, remaining word segments, and forming the descriptors from the word forms and word segments which are left after the breakdown. Advantageous dependent claims comprise advantageous features and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following description.
The special advantage of the invention is that no knowledge specifications or only simple knowledge specifications are needed and that the method can thus be used easily for new applications. An advantageous embodiment, for example, provides a morphologically based limitation with respect to the word segments developing during the breakdown as a simple knowledge specification. The method according to the invention also specifically considers significant spelling errors or recognition errors in relevant descriptors on the assumption that such errors will likewise occur in the training texts and in the texts which are to be classified later.
Preferably, the breakdown is carried out repeatedly, with the word segments remaining in an occupation cycle being treated like word forms in the following breakdown cycle. The word forms and word segments obtained after the breakdown, optionally multiple breakdown, may still contain different variants of simpler basic forms produced through inflection or affixes. By separating prefixes and suffixes (including inflectional forms), the variety of word forms can be reduced further, i.e., the number of descriptors can be reduced. From the word forms of the training texts, the prefixes and suffixes are preferably defined statistically as frequently occurring and thus not very distinctive beginnings and endings of words.
A specification of so-called stop words is also of particular advantage. These are understood to be very frequently occurring word forms which are not very distinctive such as, e.g., definite and indefinite articles, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, etc. Preferably, such stop words are determined from the training texts by means of statistical methods as being word forms which occur with particular frequency. Alternatively or additionally, the stop words can also be predetermined entirely or partially independently of the training texts. During the generation of the descriptors, the stop words are not considered from the outset, which means, in particular, that they are not considered to be word forms during the breakdown.
In order to simplify the classifier, the list of descriptors can be limited to those descriptors whose frequency exceeds a predetermined frequency threshold in the training texts.
Advantageously, the texts are already limited to applications such as, e.g., business letters, economic news reports, scientific reports, etc. The business letters application may then differentiate between text classes such as, e.g., orders, bids, invoices, etc.
In the following, the invention is illustrated in greater detail by means of texts that are digitized by scanning written documents by means of optical character recognition systems (OCR).
From the documents of a compilation of, e.g., 600 training texts, all occurring word forms including their frequency are determined in the entirety of the training texts. The most frequently occurring word forms are incorporated as stop words into a stop word list. For example, the stop word list is drawn up with the 100-300 word forms which are most frequently represented in the compilation of training texts. Because of the purely statistical approach of the derivation from the training texts, the stop word list generated in this manner is specific for the language and subject area of the training texts. In particular, it also contains OCR-typical errors as stop word variants such as, e.g., "dio" in addition to "die" [the] or "fiir" in addition to "fur" [for]. Because of the statistical approach, distinctive word forms occurring very frequently can also be identified as stop words which are then no longer available for the classification. Instead of the specification of a number of stop words for drawing up the stop word list, a threshold for a relative minimum frequency or, particularly for compilations of training texts of a smaller scope, an upper limit, for example, 1.5% of all word forms occurring in the training texts, can be predetermined for the magnitude of the stop word list. Additionally or alternatively, stop words, e.g., articles, prepositions, etc., can also be fixedly predetermined. Only those word forms are then considered for the further processing which are not comprised in the stop word list.
Especially because of character recognition errors in the digitization of texts, character combinations may appear which are not suitable as descriptors. It is therefore meaningful to predetermine minimum requirements for the structure of the descriptors. Particularly advantageous are requirements such as
a descriptor must comprise at least 3 letters
a descriptor must contain at least one vowel, wherein, in turn, a letter in this sense can also be a hyphen and character groups such as qu, ch, ie, ph.
Character groups in the text which are present before or after the exclusion of stop words and which do not meet these minimum requirements cannot become suitable detectors, not even by means of the processing steps of the method according to the invention described below, but they might lead to unusable results during the breakdown of complex word forms. Individual characters or character groups in the text which do not meet these minimum requirements are therefore not considered for the further processing.
By means of statistical methods, frequently occurring beginnings (prefixes) and endings (suffixes) of words are determined from the word forms which are to be processed further, and they are entered into lists as prefixes and suffixes that are not very distinctive. The derivation of such prefixes and suffixes is prior art and is known, e.g., from "Experimentelle Morphologie in der Informationswissenschaft" [Experimental Morphology in Information Science], Munich 1977, by R. Kuhlen. In this context, inflectional forms are also included in the suffixes.
The breakdown of word forms, which is essential for the invention, is carried out on the basis of the remaining text portions. The main goal is the extraction of a number of descriptors distinctive for the classification, which number is reduced compared to the number of the different word forms. It is examined during the breakdown whether shorter word forms are comprised in longer word forms. If this is the case, a longer word form is broken down into the shorter word form contained therein and at least one remaining word segment. Preferably, it is also examined whether a word segment is generated during the breakdown which is not suitable as a descriptor, for example, by using the same minimum requirements as a basis that were mentioned above. A breakdown which would result in a word segment that is unsuitable in this sense is not carried out; the longer word form is maintained. A word segment which remains after an admissible breakdown may be identical to a word form which already exists or is incorporated as a new word form and included in the cyclically progressing matching of the word forms. The matching is preferably continued until a further breakdown is no longer possible.
The beginning and ending character sequences comprised in the prefix and suffix lists are separated from the word forms and word segments present after the breakdown. In this manner, mainly different variation forms of root words can be reduced to their word stem and be combined therein. For the separation of prefixes and suffixes, a frame is also set advantageously for admissible separations by predetermining minimum requirements with respect to the word segments remaining after the separation, e.g., the descriptor restrictions mentioned for the initial exclusion of unsuitable character sequences. The character sequences (word forms and word segments) that are left after breakdown and separation are considered to be suitable descriptors and are used further. The separation of prefixes and suffixes does not have to be limited to the method phase after the completion of all breakdowns, rather it can also be carried out alternatively or additionally in intermediate stages. The reduction of the word forms by way of breakdown or separation does not require any morphological knowledge or with the specification of minimum requirements only very simple morphological knowledge. This means that in the grammatical sense, faulty analyses and separations are admissible and, as a rule, do occur. Therefore, a word stem is often no longer recognizable in the word forms or word segments that are left. They can also again assume the form of initially excluded stop words. These word truncations are also equally suited as descriptors since they are specific for the text types forming the training texts by virtue of their derivation from the training texts and since they function in the same manner for the training of the classifier as well as for the classification of unknown texts.
The expenditure for the classifier can be further reduced considerably by predetermining a threshold value for the frequency of the descriptors which were determined in the above-described manner and by continuing the use of only those descriptors for the classifier whose frequency of occurrence reaches or exceeds the threshold value. The threshold value can be predetermined so as to be fixed, e.g., with frequency 4, or relative, or it may be determined indirectly with the proviso that only a specific number or a specific percentage of the descriptors be elected which occur most frequently in the training texts.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments according to the above-mentioned detailed explanations. Within the framework of the invention, an expert skilled in the art can make modifications based on his or her expert knowledge. Especially the parameters for the statistical compilation of the stop word list and of the prefix and suffix lists as well as for the specification of the minimum requirements with respect to the descriptors can be changed and thus allow a further optimization of the method to a limited extent by setting these parameters according to the conditions of special applications. Furthermore, the invention can also be used in combination with known methods for the generation of descriptors. The texts must not be available as written documents but they may also be spoken or electronically transmitted texts.
The list of descriptors whose use should be continued and the stop word list form the basis for the subsequent text classification in the training phase of the classifier as well as in the classification of unknown texts. Classifiers are generally known from the prior art.
For this purpose, all stop words are cancelled in the texts to be classified or remain unconsidered for the further procedure by matching them with the stop word list. The text in which the stop words were omitted is compared with the descriptor list. In this process, e.g., all word forms containing descriptors as word segments are replaced by the respective descriptors. Word forms which cannot be replaced by descriptors are also cancelled. This results in descriptor texts which are unintelligible for humans but very well suited for the classifier. These descriptor texts or statistical statements gained from them regarding the occurrence of descriptors are used for the actual classification.
An equivalent procedure after the cancellation of the stop words in the text to be classified is, e.g., the search through a text on the basis of the descriptor list and the statistical detection of the frequency of occurrence or only the presence of individual descriptors. For the classifier, a plurality of suitable features are known from the prior art. Advantageously, the descriptors generated according to the invention are especially suited for the comparatively low-expenditure statistical classification methods.
In the following, the invention is described in still greater detail by way of two examples. For a first example of a compilation of training texts having a small scope, which is a construed example for the sake of clarity, a short list of word forms still contained in the training texts is used as a basis
glasfaser-lichtleitern [glass-fiber light guides]
rechnerkerns [computer core]
halbleitern [semiconductors]
halbleiters [semiconductor]
glaskerns [glass core]
rechner [computer]
leiters [conductor]
after the cancellation of stop words and of character sequences which do not meet the minimum requirements (1 vowel, 3 letters) already mentioned above by way of example. It is assumed that from these not prefixes but suffixes s, n, ter, er are derived in a manner known per se which are deposited in a suffix list.
In cyclically repeated breakdown steps, a matching within the valid word form list is carried out in the sense that a longer word form containing one (or several) shorter word forms is subdivided into this shorter word form and one or several remaining word segments provided that the remaining word segments also meet the minimum requirements. These remaining word segments are treated as new word forms for the further processing steps. After a first breakdown step, the following new word form list results:
glasfaser-lichtleitern [glass-fiber light guides]
halbleitern [semiconductors]
glaskerns [glass core]
leiters [conductor]
rechner [computer]
kerns [core]
halb [half]
The possibility of a further breakdown is examined again and, following the second breakdown step, the following word form list results
glasfaser-lichtleitern [glass fiber light guides]
leitern [conductors]
leiters [conductor]
rechner [computer]
kerns [core]
halb [half]
glas [glass]
Correspondingly, following the third breakdown step
leitern [conductors]
leiters [conductor]
rechner [computer]
faser [fiber]
kerns [core]
licht [light]
halb [half]
glas [glass]
These word forms cannot be further broken down by matching so that the cyclical breakdown is completed. The suffix forms deposited in the suffix list are separated successively from these word forms, again while complying with the above-cited minimum requirements, so that the following are left as descriptors
lei (26)
halb (18) [half]
rechn (2)
fas (2)
gla (2)
ker (2)
licht (1), [light]
with the numbers in parenthesis indicating the frequency of the individual descriptors in the entirety of the training texts. If, as a minimum frequency for distinctive descriptors, a twofold occurrence is prescribed, the descriptor "licht" occurring only once is not used further for the classification.
A second example, taken from an actual case, which example illustrates the reduction of an unknown text to be classified by way of a descriptor list previously determined from a compilation of training texts, is based on an excerpt from a text of a short scientific report which was digitized by means of OCR:
Es werden Versuche beschrieben, durch Mischungen eines Bleiglase; mit Ti 02 in untersch ied 7 i chen Verhal tn i ssen sowi e durch E i nsatz verscsSI i edener PbO-Tio-Sio-A1 o-Systeme zu Siebdruckpasten mit auskristal tisierbaren z 2 2 3 dielektrischen Komponenten zu gelangen. Neben der Erprobung der.
The digitized text is full of recognition errors which were produced during the OCR processing. First, the stop words comprised in a stop word list (such as, e.g., "es" [it], "werden" [will], "beschrieben" [described], "durch" [by means of], "eines" [of a], "mit" [with], etc.) are cancelled in the usual manner. The cancellation of the character sequences not meeting the minimum requirement for descriptors is advisable but not imperative. Then, the text is reduced to the descriptors contained therein by a simple comparison of character sequences. The descriptor list determined in this actual example is not indicated here in detail because of its scope and lack of descriptiveness.
A resulting descriptor text
such misch blei las hal sen atz ssi tio sio ystem sieb pas kri tis bar diel tri mpo ent gel neb bur
no longer makes sense to a human observer but suffices for the automatic classification.
While, in the first example, which was construed for the sake of clarity, the descriptors still bear some resemblance to the underlying word stems, the descriptors often seem to not bear any relation to content in the actual case. This clarifies the difference between the substantially statistical procedure which is advantageous for automatic processing compared to a text analysis on a linguistic knowledge base. The ability to also classify texts containing many errors, as in the example specified above, illustrates the high error tolerance of the method according to the invention.

Is nothing sacred anymore? Last week we wrote about a hunter's trophy whitetail being stolen from a skinning shed. This week, one of our readers called to tell me about a stolen duck blind.
Bob Lynch and Don Cooper spent many hours and lots of money building and camouflaging their blind in a favorite hunting spot on the Savannah River below Augusta.
When they returned this week to check on the 20-foot-wide floating platform, though, they couldn't find it - and it wasn't because of the camouflage.

Plenty of hunters have lost deer due to poor shot placement or misaligned rifle scopes.
Last weekend, after taking the finest buck of his life, Doug Waller lost a trophy buck in a very different way: someone stole it.
The 43-year-old hunter, accompanied by his young daughter, was ecstatic after taking a tall-tined eight-pointer at Brier Creek Sportsmen's Club in Burke County.
After calling his friends and posing for photos, they dropped the deer off at the club's cleaning station on George Perkins Road near Hephzibah, and then left for a short dog drive.

It's always entertaining to check out the things our counterparts at other newspapers come up with, and last week's column on deer hunters by the sports editor at the Covington (Ga.) News was one of the oddest essays I've seen in a while.
In a nutshell, the writer, Josh Briggs, apparently took offense after he was sent a photo of a father and son with the boy's deer, and was asked to publish the picture.

For deer hunters, few things are as sacred as opening weekend - even if Mother Nature and the big bucks aren't ready to cooperate.
The good news for the state's 305,000 whitetail chasers was that last weekend ushered in the first cool mornings of autumn, with temperatures pushing into the low 40s for most counties in our area. Afternoons are still very warm - and I have the mosquito bites to prove it.

If you thought you heard centerfire rifles going off last weekend, you probably did.
Although Georgia's regular firearms season for whitetails doesn't open until Saturday, kids 15 and under were offered a chance to start a week early this year - and lots of them accepted.
The idea, outlined in Senate Bill 474 that became law last summer, was to allow young hunters to use conventional firearms during the brief "primitive weapons" season normally reserved for black powder enthusiasts.

Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii is the where the world watches the rest of the universe.
The dormant volcano rises 13,796 feet from the coastline below. Measured from its base below the sea, it is earth's tallest mountain.
If you think it resembles another planet, you're not alone. NASA chose its rocky terrain to test lunar landers and the Mars Rover long before they were propelled into space.
Today, it is the world's primary window to the stars - and its barren summit houses the most sophisticated complex of observatories in the world.

We got plenty of comments and emails last week after publishing the trailcam photo of the mystery cat seen in Screven County.
Some were decidedly in favor of declaring it a panther - others are convinced it was a dark, grainy image of one of the swamp's most common predators: the bobcat.
With all the reported sightings of panther-like creatures - often described as dark brown or black, and too small to be a panther - another theory involves the jaguarundi, a rare wildcat native to Mexico and Central America.
By: Rob Pavey on September 28, 2010 - 1:27pm - Add new comment
Georgia wildlife officials say we don't have panthers - and people who claim to have seen one continue to insist otherwise.
It's a perennial stalemate that has lingered for decades, with dozens of sightings reported annually across Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
Without evidence, however, the reports are routinely dismissed as mistaken identity linked to hound dogs, bobcats, large feral cats or small deer.

As reporters, we always look for local angles to national stories.
This week, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service announced plans to reclassify the wood stork after 26 years on the Endangered Species List - and there is a very definite local connection.
One of the places that has played a role in its gradual recovery is the Audubon Society's Silver Bluff Sanctuary along the Savannah River near Jackson, S.C.

Augusta has its share of gator fans, and it has nothing to do with the Bulldogs' performance this season.
We're talking about real gators - the ones that live in the Savannah River and the vast swamps below Augusta.
Georgia's limited hunting season for the big reptiles opened earlier this month for hunters lucky enough to win one of the state's 850 coveted tags, of which only 60 are earmarked for Zone 9, which includes the Augusta area. In all, Georgia's Wildlife Resources Division received more than 6,000 applications.
