High Ties Over the Knee
Also found in:
♠ Over The Knee ♠ Ozone ♠ Cotton ♠ Lightweight ♠ Openwork
Lacy texture opens up as you slip these socks on. The ruched top and ribbon ties add an extra frilly, feminine touch.
Women's sock size 9-11. We think these will work best for women's US shoe size 7-10 and men's 5-8. Cuff stretch is about 16 inches, max.
Additional Info: Plain images provided by Ozone.
Please note that these socks are a bit delicate, and though they have withstood regular wear without trouble, some of us found that they were tricky to unpackage without damaging them. The trouble seems to arise from the nearly-invisible tag which holds them in their folded configuration - finding and carefully snipping this tag is key!
Made in Colombia.
Produced at Ozone's family-run mill on state of the art machinery and inspired by the colorful birds in the aviary outside the production facility.
Fiber Content: 85% cotton, 14% nylon, 1% spandex
Wash gentle cycle, cold water. Line dry.
Label: Ozone
I have ordered from you guys twice now. Everything has come quickly (and for FREE!) and I have loved everything I ordered. I love the variety you have on the site and I love that you have so many plus size options!

A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., Huesman also ran for 307 yards and three more scores while totaling 100+ yards rushing and passing in two of the three contests. He is the first Moc to be named SoCon Offensive Player of the Month since running back Eldra Buckley in September 2006. It is just the third time a UTC offensive player has earned the honor (Alonzo Nix, Oct. 2003) since the league started the award in 2003.
Huesman threw for 229 yards in an overtime loss to Wofford and a season-high 234 in a win over Elon, earning SoCon Freshman of the Week honors after each performance. He was also the league's offensive player of the week after the Elon win. He finished the month with a 133.48 passer rating and a team-high 314 all-purpose yards.
Huesman capped his rookie campaign with 1,712 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns, all setting or matching UTC freshman records. He also led Chattanooga with 904 rushing yards on the season, becoming the first QB to lead the team in rushing in school history.

Long Range Helps Franciscan
- Release Date:
- February 7, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Steubenville, OH –Hannah Flanagan shot fifty percent from long distance (5-10) leading Franciscan University to a 55-35 victory over Hilbert College in women's basketball February 5. Hilbert's Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/Depew) scored one-third of the Hawks points (10) in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference loss. Senior Amanda Dudek (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) chipped in 8 points and grabbed a team-high 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
Franciscan (2-12, 2-16) held a 27-12 half time advantage and extended their lead to twenty-four at 4:15 left off a Flanagan three-pointer. The Hawks outscored the Barons in the paint and in points off turnovers. But the home team dominated the boards (49-26) and finished the game with better shooting percentages giving them the advantage in the scoring column.
Hilbert (0-14, 1-19) looks to grab a road win at D'Youville College February 9 when they travel to the west-side of Buffalo for a 6pm tip. The Spartans (4-10, 5-16) captured the first meeting in early January in the Hafner Center and have gone 1-6 since that first meeting.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Ink is stored in a data structure that permits later retrieval by applications. The ink includes stroke information and property information. Properties may be associated globally with the ink strokes and/or with each stroke individually. Aspects include a data structure that supports ink for multiple applications. Using the storage system, method, and data structure, various applications may expand on ink to include additional attributes while permitting the ink to be used in applications not supporting the additional attributes. When encountering an unknown tag, the applications will skip past the end of the tag and its associated data to start reading the next tag.
1. A method for using a data structure for storing ink, said data structure being read and processed by a computer, said data structure relating to storing at least a first ink stroke and a second ink stroke of handwritten ink information, comprising the steps of:
identifying a tag in the data structure, said tag delimiting data associated with the tag and including a reference to index data associated with a first property of the first ink stroke and a second property of the second ink stroke of the handwritten ink information;
retrieving a size of the data associated with the tag; and
if an application recognizes the tag, then reading the data associated with the tag, otherwise skipping the tag by skipping past the data based on the size of the data,
wherein the first property of the handwritten ink information associated with the index data is applied to the tag data and the first ink stroke based on the reference and the second property of the handwritten ink information associated with the index data is applied to the tag data and the second ink stroke based on the reference, and wherein the properties include at least one of a specific color, line width, drawing attribute, count of points, stroke size, a shape of pen tip, a type of pen tip, a point at which a stylus starts a stroke, stroke coordinates, pressure, angle of pen, and interval of time between coordinates.
2. The method according to
retrieving a version number of said tag;
if said application is compatible with said version of the tag, then reading the data associated with the tag, otherwise skipping the tag by skipping past the data based on the size of the data.
3. The method according to
retrieving information relating to a global unique identifier used within the data of said tag;
if said application is compatible with said global unique identifier, then reading the data associated with the tag, otherwise skipping the tag by skipping past the data based on the size of the data.

This application is a divisional of prior U.S. application Ser. No. 09/852,799, filed May 11, 2001 which is related to U.S. Application No. 60/212,825, entitled "Methods for Classifying, Anchoring, and Transforming Ink Annotations", filed Jun. 21, 2000, and to U.S. application Ser. No. 09/750,288, entitled "Classifying, Anchoring, and Transforming Ink", filed Dec. 29, 2000, whose contents are expressly incorporated herein by reference as to their entireties.
Aspects of the present invention are directed generally to apparatus and methods for controlling a graphical user interface (GUI). More particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to capturing and/or storing electronic ink.
Typical computer systems, especially computer systems using graphical user interface (GUI) systems such as Microsoft WINDOWS, are optimized for accepting user input from one or more discrete input devices such as a keyboard for entering text, and a pointing device such as a mouse with one or more buttons for driving the user interface. The ubiquitous keyboard and mouse interface provides for fast creation and modification of documents, spreadsheets, database fields, drawings, photos and the like. However, there is a significant gap in the flexibility provided by the keyboard and mouse interface as compared with the non-computer (i.e., standard) pen and paper. With the standard pen and paper, a user edits a document, writes notes in a margin, and draws pictures and other shapes and the like. In some instances, a user may prefer to use a pen to mark-up a document rather than review the document on-screen because of the ability to freely make notes outside of the confines of the keyboard and mouse interface.
Some computer systems permit a user to draw on a screen. For example, the Microsoft READER application permits one to add electronic ink (also referred to herein as "ink") to a document. The system stores the ink and provides it to a user when requested. Other applications (for example, drawing applications as known in the art are associated with the Palm 3.x and 4.x and PocketPC operating systems) permit the capture and storage of drawings. These drawings include other properties associated with the ink strokes used to make up the drawings. For instance, line width and color may be stored with the ink. One goal of these systems is to replicate the look and feel of physical ink being applied to a piece of paper. However, physical ink on paper may have significant amounts of information not captured by the electronic collection of a coordinates and connecting line segments. Some of this information may include the thickness of the pen tip used (as seen through the width of the physical ink), the shape of the pen tip, the speed at which the ink was deposited, and the like.
Another problem has arisen in the storage of electronic ink. While some applications permit the capture and subsequent rendering of ink, the ink can only be associated with the application in which the ink was captured. Thus, a user loses the portability of the ink. If a second application was to attempt to use the ink stored in conjunction with a first application, the second application will not be able to interpret non-standard properties associated with the ink.
Further, while data structures are known, the size of the data structure used to store information may become excessively large and cumbersome. An example of a data structure that permits the random storage of information is the interchange file format (IFF). While the IFF is a simple structure to compose, any data structure in IFF would be excessively large, as each separate element has to be separately defined. Redundant definitions for similar elements were repeated.
Accordingly, an improved system is needed for storing ink and its associated properties.
The present invention provides a flexible and efficient system, method, and data structure for receiving, storing, and rendering ink, thereby solving one or more of the problems identified with conventional devices and systems.
Aspects of the present invention are directed to an improved system, method and data structure for storing ink and its associated properties. The properties may be associated with tags.
In some aspects of the invention, a data structure is used having a first portion with an identifier; a second portion with size of tag data; and a third portion having the tag data.
In other aspects of the invention, methods are implemented for creating a data structure for storing ink comprising the steps of receiving ink information; determining ink properties; determining which ink properties are global; and creating a data structure with one representation of global for a set of ink strokes.
In further aspects of the invention, methods for using a data structure for storing ink are implemented including identifying a tag; retrieving the size of the data associated with the tag; and, if an application can use tag, then reading the data associated with the tag, otherwise skipping the tag by skipping past the tag data based on the size of the retrieved size of the data associate with the tag.
In further aspects of the invention, a system creates a data structure including an input receiving ink strokes; a processor parsing the received ink strokes and determining properties associated with the ink strokes; and a storage storing the ink strokes in a tagged data format.
In still further aspects of the invention, a system uses a data structure having a storage storing ink strokes in a tagged data format; and a processor retrieving the ink strokes and processing at least some of the tags associated with the ink strokes.
These and other features and aspects of the invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
The foregoing summary of the invention, as well as the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are included by way of example, and not by way of limitation with regard to the claimed invention.
The following description is divided into sub-sections to assist the reader. The sub-sections include: characteristics and storage of ink; terms; general purpose computer and associated hardware; an example of strokes of ink; common stream items; a complex example; encoding of values; and a summarization of the storage of ink.
Characteristics and Storage of Ink
The present invention relates to the storage of electronic ink and/or properties or other data associated with electronic ink. Ink as used herein refers to electronic ink. Ink refers to a sequence of strokes, where each stroke is comprised of a sequence of points. The points may be represented using a variety of known techniques including Cartesian coordinates (X, Y), polar coordinates (r, Θ), and other techniques as known in the art.
As known to users who use ink pens, physical ink (the kind laid down on paper using a pen with an ink reservoir) may convey more information than a series of coordinates connected by line segments. For example, physical ink can reflect pen pressure (by the thickness of the ink), pen angle (by the shape of the line or curve segments and the behavior of the ink around discreet points), and the speed of the nib of the pen (by the straightness, line width, and line width changes over the course of a line or curve).
To provide the look and feel of physical ink, the exemplary disclosed system and method store ink strokes and properties associated with the ink strokes to more fully render ink. In some embodiments, ink may be stored as a series or set of strokes and a series or set of properties. In other embodiments, ink may be stored with a complex series of properties in which the properties have properties of their own. Properties of the ink may include, for example, color, width, pressure between the stylus and tablet, and angle between the stylus and tablet, and pen shape and the like. While these properties may suffice for many applications, embodiments of the present invention provide for the extensible storage of custom properties (and other data) generated by applications. All strokes and values may be stored directly with excess information. However, alternative embodiments reflect considerations that eliminate excess information when possible or practicable.
The properties used to define an ink object and the strokes within the ink object may have varying scope. For example, some properties may apply to all ink strokes in an ink object (e.g., the shape of a pen tip). Other properties may relate only to a specific point (e.g., a point at which a stylus starts a stroke). Others may relate to specific strokes while others may relate to packets of information as reported by hardware (e.g., coordinates, pressure, angle of pen, the intervals of time between reported coordinates, and the like). In short, properties have different levels of scope.
To efficiently store properties, some may be explicitly specified while others may be implicit. In a simple example, all properties may be default properties and not specified in an ink object. So, the ink object may only have X and Y coordinate values. In another example, the ink object may have properties that affect the entire ink object but the properties are specified in the ink object. In a third example, some strokes may have a first set of properties and others have a second set of properties. The properties may be defined initially at the beginning of the ink object and the individual strokes may reference the previously defined properties as needed. Using this approach of defining properties then later referencing the properties promotes a greater efficiency in storing properties. This becomes more apparent as an ink object becomes larger as the number of properties increases and the number of ink strokes referencing the properties increases.
Ink—A sequence or set of strokes with properties. A sequence of strokes may include strokes in an ordered form. The sequence may be ordered by the time captured or by where the strokes appear on a page. Other orders are possible. A set of strokes may includes sequences of strokes or unordered strokes or any combination thereof.
Stream—A sequence of strokes that may or may not include properties that comprises a data structure.
Ink object—A data structure storing a stream with or without properties.
Stroke—A sequence or set of captured points. For example, when rendered, the sequence of points may be connected with lines. Alternatively, the stroke may be represented as a point and a vector in the direction of the next point. In short, a stroke is intended to encompass any representation of points or segments relating to ink, irrespective of the underlying representation of points and/or what connects the points.
Point—Information defining a location in space. For example, the points may be defined relative to a capturing space (for example, points on a digitizer), a virtual ink space (the coordinates in a space into which captured ink is placed), and/or display space (the points or pixels of a display device).
Virtual Ink Space—A framework to which all ink strokes relate. The framework may include a two or three-dimensional shape. In one example, the framework may include a unit size square. In another example, the framework may include a defined rectangle. While some ink strokes may extend outside of the framework, the framework may be used for rendering purposes including dimensioning for a printer or a display. In one aspect, the framework is a norm to which ink strokes may be spatially defined.
Global Ink Properties—These are properties that apply to a stroke or set of strokes unless otherwise defined. For example, a selected ink color may be blue. By setting all strokes to blue, the default color of the strokes would be blue.
Local Ink Properties—These are properties that apply to a specific stroke (or data point or data points). For example, while a global ink property may be blue, a specific stroke may be set to red. Some local ink properties may be interpreted, in some cases, as global properties as they affect subsequently encountered strokes in an ink object.
Render—The process of determining how graphics (and/or ink) is to be displayed, whether on a screen or printed, or output into another file format.
GUID—A Global Unique Identifier is a term well known in the art. A GUID is an integer (for example, 64 bit, 128 bit, 256 bit, or the like) that identifies an interface to an object across all computers and networks. A GUID may identify interfaces, replica sets, records, and other objects. Such an identifier is unique with a very low probability of being duplicated. Other definitions are known in the art and are incorporated herein by reference.
General Purpose Computer
A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 100, such as during start-up, is stored in the ROM 140. The computer 100 also includes a hard disk drive 170 for reading from and writing to a hard disk (not shown), a magnetic disk drive 180 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 190, and an optical disk drive 191 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 192 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. The hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk drive 180, and optical disk drive 191 are connected to the system bus 130 by a hard disk drive interface 192, a magnetic disk drive interface 193, and an optical disk drive interface 194, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 100. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may also be used in the example operating environment.
A number of program modules can be stored on the hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk 190, optical disk 192, ROM 140 or RAM 150, including an operating system 195, one or more application programs 196, other program modules 197, and program data 198. A user can enter commands and information into the computer 100 through input devices such as a keyboard 101 and pointing device 102. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 110 through a serial port interface 106 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). Further still, these devices may be coupled directly to the system bus 130 via an appropriate interface (not shown). A monitor 107 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 130 via an interface, such as a video adapter 108. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers. In a preferred embodiment, a pen digitizer 165 and accompanying pen or stylus 166 are provided in order to digitally capture freehand input. Although a direct connection between the pen digitizer 165 and the processing unit 110 is shown, in practice, the pen digitizer 165 may be coupled to the processing unit 110 via a serial port, parallel port or other interface and the system bus 130 as known in the art. Furthermore, although the digitizer 165 is shown apart from the monitor 107, it is preferred that the usable input area of the digitizer 165 be co-extensive with the display area of the monitor 107. Further still, the digitizer 165 may be integrated in the monitor 107, or may exist as a separate device overlaying or otherwise appended to the monitor 107.
The computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. The remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 100, although only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 100 is connected to the local network 112 through a network interface or adapter 114. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 100 typically includes a modem 115 or other means for establishing a communications over the wide area network 113, such as the Internet. The modem 115, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 130 via the serial port interface 106. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 100, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
The stylus 204 may be equipped with one or more buttons or other features to augment its selection capabilities. In one embodiment, the stylus 204 could be implemented as a "pencil" or "pen", in which one end constitutes a writing portion and the other end constitutes an "eraser" end, and which, when moved across the display, indicates portions of the display are to be erased. Other types of input devices, such as a mouse, trackball, or the like could be used. Additionally, a user's own finger could be the stylus 204 and used for selecting or indicating portions of the displayed image on a touch-sensitive or proximity-sensitive display. Consequently, the term "user input device", as used herein, is intended to have a broad definition and encompasses many variations on well-known input devices such as stylus 204. Region 205 shows a feedback region or contact region permitting the user to determine where the stylus 204 as contacted the display surface 202.
In various embodiments, the system provides an ink platform as a set of COM (component object model) services that an application can use to capture, manipulate, and store ink. One service enables an application to read and write ink using the disclosed representations of ink. The ink platform may also include a mark-up language including a language like the extensible markup language (XML). Further, the system may use DCOM as another implementation.
An Example of Strokes of Ink
An exemplary ink object is shown in
From points 1601 through 1608, the width of the stroke has a first value. At point 1608, the width of the stroke changes to a second value. This may have been because the user increased the pressure between the stylus 204 tip and the display surface 204, because the angle between the stylus 204 and the tablet changed, because the stylus 204 was rotated and projected a different cross section of the stylus 204's nib, or the like. The stroke then continues through point 1616 with the second stroke width. In an alternate embodiment, a user started the stroke with a first line width and selected a different line width at point 1608 to complete the stroke. In a further embodiment, two strokes may form the ink object as shown in
Next, the ink object is stored. The ink object stroke may be stored as a single stroke with varying line widths. Alternatively, the ink object may be stored as two or more strokes in which each stroke has its own set of properties. Third, the ink object may be stored as short strokes between points.
The data structure may contain an identifier 306 that indicates that the following structure is an ink object, size of the remaining sets of data 307 (or count of the properties, strokes, sub-objects and the like present in the data structure), a list of global ink properties 308 that apply as the default properties for contained strokes, and/or a list of strokes 309. Additional information is described with respect to
The structure as shown in
Referring to
As to the specification of size of following data or the count of items in following data, it is appreciated that one may use either of the two ways of specifying information. For simplicity, the following description includes the use of size information. In some instances, count information is also shown. However, where only size information is shown, count information may readily be specified in place of or in addition to the size information.
As applied to ink, the tagged data structure of
The "tag" describing the "data" indicates whether the "data" contains tagged structures or even how many tagged structures. For example, custom properties are considered opaque to the present system since they are application-defined and thus only contain data. However, a stroke may have one or more stroke properties, which are also represented as tagged structures.
In some embodiments, the system attempts to minimize the use of redundant information. In one example, the system takes resources that may apply to multiple strokes, such as a drawing attribute, and only storing it once in the ink stream using a similar table strategy to that described in
The space saving use of references may be used with GUIDs. In the present system, GUIDs may be used to represent the various tags. Using GUIDs assures (for all practical purposes) that the tags will always be unique for all vendors. In one embodiment, GUIDs are used directly. Where the GUID is large, such as 16 bytes in size, it is impractical to use the GUID as the tag since it would make the ink objects extremely large. Instead, some embodiments use an index value as the tag that actually maps into a GUID lookup table.
The implicit ordering method of
The remaining fields 704-709 are similar to that described with respect to
The table sets forth relations between identifiers for Tag0 712 and Tag1 713 and the GUID value for Tag0 714 and the GUID value for Tag1 715.
The GUID lookup table 703 may be stored in the serialized stream as an ink property. This means that each GUID does not need to be repeated in each property of each stroke. Rather, actual tags in the serialized stream identifying a GUID can be a small integer index. Very little space is wasted on the GUID since it is stored only once in the stream.
Finally, while GUIDs are used to describe the system, it is appreciated that other identification systems may be used to identify the tags as described herein. For example, the GUIDs may be replaced by smaller identifiers, which then reference a GUID table for all ink objects. While one would lose some degree of portability of ink, as the ink objects are no longer completely contained, the size of the ink objects may be decreased.
In another example, as shown in
Both strokes in the above example are of the simplest form since they contain only the count of points 805 and 810, and the X and Y data for each stroke. The X and Y data may be compressed or uncompressed. Compressing the data saves space, but leaving the data in an uncompressed form generally increases the speed of the storing and rendering processes.
A stroke with no properties may be defined as the default stroke. That is, there are no additional packet properties (such as pressure) associated with each point, or any other per-stroke information in any of the strokes. One implementation would render this ink with the default drawing attributes (black pen, width of one, ball tip, etc.)
The count of bytes used to store the compressed X data or compressed Y data may be stored separately from the disclosed data structure. This is advantageous because given the count in the number of points, the decompression algorithm can just read enough bytes from the stream until it decompresses the number of coordinates, thereby increasing the decompression speed. The first byte of the X and Y data indicates the compression algorithm used, if any.
Common Stream Items
One or more tags may be used to assist in the reduction of redundant data in the in stream. While various tag names are given, it is appreciated that these tag names are for example purposes only.
First, one may use an ink object identifier (see ink object identifier 801 with a version number in
Second, following the ink object identifier may be the size field (see size 802 in
A conforming implementation should, in one example, be prepared to accept a size value equal to the largest file size on Windows NT. Presently, this is a 64-bit number but may be larger in the future. In some implementations, such as placing the present system on a limited resource device (e.g., a Windows CE device or a Palm OS device), it may be difficult for an application to process a file of this size. The implementation in that case may generate an appropriate error to the application.
An additional benefit of having the size of the stream actually stored in the stream is that if an application passes a random buffer to the system, then the first two values in the file will usually be zero. This means that the present system will generally immediately stop processing an invalid stream.
Third, global ink properties may be defined to minimize or eliminate redundant information. In simple streams, there may be no global ink properties. However, if there are global ink properties, then it is preferable that they appear before any strokes so that they may apply to all strokes. There are generally eight global ink properties that may be used. Of course, more or less global properties may be defined and used as needed.
The global properties may include one or more of the following:
It is appreciated that the above times may also be included as local properties if nested within other tags.
1) GUID Table
The GUID table, if it appears in the stream, preferably appears immediately after the size field. It is appreciated that the GUID table may appear later or earlier. However, the global application of the GUIDs might a) only apply to items subsequent to the GUID table and/or b) slow down the processing of the ink as previous processed tags may need to be reevaluated after encountering a GUID table.
The GUID table may be identified with the tag 710. In one example, one may use the tag TAG_GUID_TABLE. The size of the table is a multiple of the GUID size, where each entry is a custom GUID as used in the stream.
2) Ink Space Rectangle
An ink space rectangle defines a virtual coordinate space (or virtual ink space) for receiving ink. One tag that may be used includes TAG_INK_SPACE_RECT, which identifies the ink space rectangle when present in the stream. It does not have a size field since it has a fixed number of elements of, for example, four signed numbers. These four numbers represent the left, top, right, and bottom of the ink space. The ink space rectangle defines the virtual coordinate space for the ink. An application may use this rectangle to determine what area of the ink to either display or print. The ink space rectangle essentially defines a virtual sheet of paper that the ink is drawn on. This does not mean that ink may not appear outside this area. However, the application may use this rectangle when deciding how to display the ink according to a given view or on the printer.
3) Drawing Attributes Table
The drawing attributes table may list all drawing attribute sets of properties (also referred to as blocks) in the stream. Each drawing attribute block defines information used while rendering the ink. These blocks may apply to one or more strokes and may be placed in the drawing attributes table so that they are not repeated in each stroke.
An exemplary tag includes TAG_DRAW_ATTRS_TABLE as an identifier. This identifier may be followed by the size of the table. The size of the table may be equal to the sum of the sizes of all drawing attribute blocks.
A drawing attributes table containing only one drawing attributes block is a special case. In one embodiment, the tag and size for the table is omitted and the entire table is replaced by a single drawing attributes block. This reduces information in the drawing attributes table when not needed to define only a single entry.
To save space, the tag for the block may be is omitted when the block appears in a drawing attributes table. This is because the table can only contain blocks and the tag is redundant. The next block may start immediately after the end of the previous block.
Furthermore, all predefined drawing attributes, such as the pen width or color reference, have no size indicator where the data types (e.g., positive integers) are known ahead of time. However, a custom property preferably has a size field since the size of the data is not known ahead of time.
In one embodiment, default and non-default values are stored. Alternatively, another possible space saving optimization is that drawing attributes that are set to the default value are not stored in the attributes block. In the above example, pen tip value is not stored since it is assumed to be the default value. Here, the pen tip may be considered to be a ballpoint pen as represented by the tag PEN_TIP_BALL.
4) Stroke Descriptor Table
The stroke descriptor table lists stroke descriptor blocks in the stream. These blocks may apply to one or more strokes and may be placed in this table so that they are not repeated in each stroke.
An identifier is used to identify the stroke descriptor table. The tag may include TAG_STROKE_DESC_TABLE. The size of the table may follow the size of the table. The size of the table may be equal to the sum of the sizes of all stroke descriptor blocks.
The system may have multiple levels of blocks even if there is only one block for a table. On the other hand, a stroke descriptor table containing only one, single level, stroke descriptor block may be considered a special case. In this regard, the tag and size for the table is omitted and a single stroke descriptor block may be used to replace the entire table. In short, a table may contain multiple blocks except when there would only be one block to table. Here, the ink object may only include the stroke descriptor block.
A stroke may contain arrays of data where each array element corresponds to a property of a point.
In this event, the stroke descriptor block may be used to solve this problem by defining the data types and their order in the stroke. The system may then use an index to associate a stroke with a particular stroke descriptor block.
Typically, all strokes in an ink stream will use the same stroke descriptor block. However, a stroke descriptor table that contains only one block is rare. However, the system allows different strokes to contain different sets of data by placing the blocks in a table.
Referring to
It is assumed herein that, by default, all strokes will contain X and Y coordinate data arrays and that these will be the first data arrays stored in a stroke. This provides the ability for the stroke to default to looking for X and Y coordinate data (which is more likely than having strokes lack X and Y data). If for some reason the application does not wish to store X and Y coordinates, then it may create a stroke descriptor block containing placeholders to occupy the designated fields for the X and Y coordinate arrays. Here, the placeholders are No X Data Tag 1003 and No Y Data Tag 1004. One may also use TAG_NO_X and TAG_NO_Y values as the two entries. Otherwise the first two arrays in a stroke may be assumed to correspond to the X and Y coordinates.
After the optional TAG_NO_X, TAG_NO_Y placeholders is an array of packet property tags 1005. This array ends when a button identifier or a stroke property identifier is encountered. These may be represented as well as TAG_BUTTONS, TAG_STROKE_PROPERTY_LIST or the end of scope is encountered. Each packet property tag defines another array in the stroke.
Following the packet property array 1005 may be an optional "buttons" section that describes the button bit-fields that make up the elements of the button array in the stroke. Not all input devices report button states, so this section is optional. If present, the "buttons" section may start with a first button description tag 1006 (e.g., a tag may be TAG_BUTTONS) followed by the count of buttons 1007 (as represented by an identifier, for instance, "cButtons") and an array of button GUID tags 1008, one tag for each button. Note that these tags may be encoded (described later) and the size of the button array may not be an exact multiple of the number of buttons (cButtons).
If the end of the stroke descriptor block scope has not been reached, then what may follow is a stroke property list. The stroke property list may include identifier 1009 (one may also use TAG_STROKE_PROPERTY_LIST). Following the identifier 1009 is a list of stroke property tags in the array of tags for stroke properties 1010. These tags do not describe arrays of values. Instead they are an optimization that allows a tag that appears repeatedly in strokes to be omitted; only the size and the data need to be specified for the listed property. A stroke may still have additional stroke properties that are not listed in its stroke descriptor block under TAG_STROKE_PROPERTY_LIST. However, these additional properties may have to be listed in the stroke after all the properties listed in the block and they should be tagged explicitly within the stroke.
5) Transform Table
As described above, ink may be captured in a variety of ways. The ink may be made larger or smaller, rotated, translated, warped, and the like. These transformations present a variety of problems. The first problem is that the assumptions made when designing the compression schemes may no longer be valid. This may result in data that would have been compressed well in its native form to bloat and compress very poorly. The second problem is that it is very easy to perform operations on the ink that would cause precision to be lost. This may cause the recognition process to fail and prevent the ink from being converted to text or might cause the ink to render incorrectly.
To solve this problem, some embodiments of the present system may allow the ink to be stored in its original native format. For example, whenever ink is transformed, only a transform matrix is affected rather than each point in the ink. This preserves the precision of the original ink and also allows compression to function optimally.
The transform table may list all transform blocks in the stream. Each transform block may define a unique transform that is applied to the ink points before they are rendered or used. These blocks may apply to one or more strokes and are placed in this table so that they are not repeated in each stroke.
One may use the identifier of TAG_TRANSFORM_TABLE to identify the transform table. The size of the table may follow. The size of the table may be is equal to the sum of the sizes of all transform blocks.
A transform table containing only one transform block is a special case. The tag and size for the table may be omitted and the entire table may be replaced by a single transform block.
In the simplest case and the cases where scaling and transforms have been applied outside of a native capture environment (for example when currently using ink in MS Word), no transform tables may be created.
6) Metric Table
The metric table lists metric blocks in the stream. These blocks may apply to one or more strokes and may be placed in this table so that they are not repeated in each stroke.
The tag, TAG_METRIC_TABLE, may be used to identify the metric table and may be followed by the size of the table. The size of the table is equal to the sum of the sizes of all metric blocks.
A metric table containing only one metric block is a special case. The tag and size for the table may be omitted and a single metric block may replace the entire table.
One previous example showed how an ink stream may contain only strokes made up of X and Y elements. The stroke descriptor then enabled the addition of more properties to a stroke. The metric block further refines the definition of the properties defined in a stroke. The individual array elements in a stroke, such as the X or Y values, may be represented in logical device coordinates. However there may well be times where an application will need to know the relationship between these logical values and some real physical characteristics. For example, it may not be known implicitly whether pressure is in pounds, Pascal's or kilograms, or an angle with a value of 10 is in degrees or radians. Without further information an application may assume these values are in the standard normalized form, as defined by the ink object system.
One purpose of the metric block is to defining some relationship between the logical units stored in the stroke and physical characteristics. The most common ones being: minimum value, maximum value, precision, and/or units.
Typically all strokes in an ink stream will use the same metrics block. An ink stream may have several stroke descriptors, yet still only have one metric block. However, the present system may allow different strokes to refer to different metric blocks in the metric table.
Each metric block may start with an identifier 1101 (for example, TAG_METRIC_BLOCK) and is followed by the size 1102 of the block. The TAG_METRIC_BLOCK may be omitted in the metrics table. Next, each entry may follow as entry[0] 1103—entry[number of metric blocks-1] 1105. The various entries may describe minimum and/or maximum values for values, the degree of precision and associated units, as well as other properties.
The metric block does not necessarily need to define all the packet property tags that are used in the stroke descriptor, since the application may not care about the metrics associated with all the properties or the device may not provide metrics for all the properties. In order to permit the metric block to be easily read in conjunction with the stroke descriptor, the entries in the metric block should be in the same order as found in the stroke descriptor. The metric block differs from the stroke descriptor since it may contain data for X and Y values (for example, identified with TAG_X and TAG_Y). This is because X and Y values may have metrics that need to be stored.
7) Compression Header
A block may be specified that addresses the amount of compression to apply to values. The header may contain data used by decompression algorithms to correctly decompress packet property arrays including X, Y coordinates, pressure and the like. Inclusion of compression data may occur when the system determines that predefined compression algorithms and their associated levels of compression may not be enough to store information to achieve the maximal compression of ink.
The type of compression used may include various compression algorithms as are known in the art including Huffman compression algorithms and others. The compression header may include an identifier, the number of bytes needed to store the header, a bit assignment table including bit assignment blocks, and/or (optionally) an index map table. If the bit assignment table is zero, null, or nonexistent, then the index map table may not be included to save space.
8) Custom Ink Properties
Custom ink properties may be defined for various applications. The identifier for a custom ink property may list a custom GUID specified in the GUID table. Next, the size of the compressed data for the property may be is provided. Finally, the data associated with the property may be provided. Additional data may follow in the stream relating to the next property.
Like global properties, local properties may also be specified. Local properties may be positioned after the global ink properties. Alternatively, as described above, global ink properties may be placed lasted in an ink object. Local properties do not apply to the entire ink stream. Strokes are an example of a local property. Other local properties, such as a drawing attribute index, may apply to all the strokes that appear after that point in the stream until the next time that local property appears in the stream again. Just like global ink properties, local properties are also optional. A valid ink stream could potentially contain no local properties at all. However, such a stream would not likely be useful.
The local properties may include, for example:
The drawing attribute index (which may be identified by the tag TAG_DIDX) assigns a drawing attribute block to a stroke. The drawing attribute index may be followed by an index value that specifies the entry in the drawing attributes table. All strokes in the stream from that point on may use the specified drawing attribute block until the next drawing attribute index is encountered in the stream.
In an alternative embodiment, if there is no drawing attribute index in the stream somewhere before the stroke, it may be assumed that this stroke should use the 0th (i.e., first) drawing attribute block in the drawing attributes table. And if there is no drawing attributes table in the stream, then all strokes may be drawn using the default set of drawing attributes.
2) Stroke Descriptor Index
A stroke descriptor index (which may be identified using a tag as TAG_SIDX) assigns a stroke descriptor block to a stroke. A stroke descriptor index may be followed by an index value that specifies the entry in the stroke descriptor table. All strokes in the stream from that point on may use the specified stroke descriptor block until the next stroke descriptor index is encountered in the stream.
In an alternate embodiment, if there is no stroke descriptor index in the stream somewhere before the stroke, it may be assumed that this stroke should use the 0th Stroke descriptor block in the stroke descriptor table. And if there is no stroke descriptor table in the stream, then all strokes may be assumed to contain X and Y coordinates only.
3) Transform Index
The transform index (which may be specified with the identifier TAG_TIDX) assigns a transform block to a stroke. A transform index may be followed by an index value that specifies the entry in the transform table. All strokes in the stream from that point on may use the specified transform block until the next transform index is encountered in the stream.
In an alternate embodiment, if there is no transform index in the stream somewhere before the stroke, it may be assumed that this stroke should use the 0th transform block in the transform table. And if there is no transform table in the stream, then no transforms should be applied to any stroke.
4) Metric Index
The metric index (which may be identified using the tag TAG_MIDX) assigns a metric block to a stroke. The metric index may be followed by an index value that specifies the entry in the metric table. All strokes in the stream from that point onward may use the specified metric block until the next metric index is encountered in the stream.
In an alternate embodiment, if there is no metric index in the stream somewhere before the stroke, this stroke may use the 0th (i.e., first) metric block in the metrics table. If there is only one metric block then the table may be omitted and the 0th metric block is the only metric block in the stream.
5) Strokes
As described earlier with relation to
As shown in
The data contained in the stroke is found in fields after the number of points 1303. The packet data may include of arrays of values (X coordinate information 1304, Y coordinate information 1305), where each array is in the same order as described in the stroke descriptor for the stroke. If the stroke descriptor did not specify that no X or Y data was included (for example, the identifiers TAG_NO_X or TAG_NO_Y), then the first two arrays may be the X and Y coordinate arrays. In the situation where the stroke contains no packet data at all, the number of points from field 1303 may be zero.
Next, the stroke may include button states. Each button state for each point may be stored as a bit in the array. The button state may be stored compressed or uncompressed. The number of button states may be stored (and read from the stroke descriptor). In the compressed storage of button states, the compressed button array uses the number of points*((number of button states+7)/8) bytes in the stream to store all the state information for each point. Making substitutions, if one uses cPoints to represent the number of points and cButtons to represent the number of buttons, the resulting storage size for the buttons=cPoints*((cButtons+7)/8) bytes. This storage efficiency may be improved by the fact that to store the same information in a non-serialized format requires ((cButtons+31)/8) bytes for each packet.
Stroke properties follow packet data (if non-default stroke properties are to be used). Stroke properties are listed by an identifier. For example, the identifier TAG_STROKE_PROPERTY_LIST may be used. The stroke properties may appear after the buttons array. In some embodiments, the stroke properties may have their tags omitted since the tags are specified in the stroke descriptor. The system continues to process all parts of the stroke. If the end of the stroke scope has still not been reached, then more stroke properties may be specified listing the properties with their tags.
In addition to strokes having properties, individual points may have properties as well. As point properties are stroke properties assigned to a point, they are defined with stroke properties. A sample point property list may be shown in
A Complex Example
In the example shown, at the beginning of the stream, before any strokes, there may be a stroke descriptor table with two stroke descriptor block entries. The 0th entry in the stroke descriptor table has size zero, i.e. it may be empty. This signifies that the strokes, which are described by this entry, contain only X and Y vectors. The 1st entry of the stroke descriptor table describes the strokes that in addition to X and Y arrays contain a pressure vector. Here, this entry does not contain descriptors for X and Y arrays. Rather, they are implicit. In contrast, only pressure is described with its minimal and maximal values.
In the example above, the stroke descriptor table index value of 1 applies to the 0th stroke and the stroke descriptor table index value of 0 applies to the 1st and 2nd strokes. Therefore, the 0th stroke contains pressure vector in addition to X and Y vectors, the 1st and 2nd strokes only contain X and Y vectors.
While not shown, a further implementation is possible. The system may eliminate the size component of the data structure. To skip to the next tag, the system may scan for a predefined tag identifier (for example, "INK_" or the like) or any other series of values. Also, the system may scan for a terminator of the present tag (for example, "1111111").
Encoding of Values
The serial nature of the ink object leads to efficient storage. In some embodiments, the values in the ink object may be encoded to further reduce the size of the stream needed to store the ink object. In one example, tags are indexes to GUIDs so that the GUID may be not repeated unnecessarily. In the above examples, X and Y data may be compressed. A number of encoding strategies and compression methods may be used alone or in combination.
Sizes of Tags and Numbers
At the most basic level, the ink object may be composed of numbers. Even tags may be considered indexes, which are just small integer numbers. In fact, most of the time these numbers are small enough that they could be represented by a single byte if there was a way of determining when a byte represented a single number and when it was just part of a bigger number. In some embodiments, no encoding is used. In other embodiments, it may be possible to take advantage of this observation by encoding numbers using a multi-byte encoding technique.
Multi-byte encoding makes it possible to represent small numbers in one byte, larger numbers in two bytes and very large numbers in however many bytes are necessary. This means that tags, which usually have a value less than 100, are stored as a single byte and sizes, which may be small or large, are stored in the most efficient manner. In effect, multi-byte encoding may be a compression technique.
Various types of multi-byte encoding are known. An example of multi-byte encoding is shown and works as follows:
In other words, the system handles information such that:
In general, bytes are processed until a byte with the most significant bit clear may be encountered. For example, the first number encountered may be the ink object identifier number. For version 1.0 this value may be "0" and can be encoded in a single byte. The next number may be the size of the stream following the size value, and for small ink objects as in the first example this will also be encoded in a single byte. However, if the stream may be long this value can grow as large as necessary. For example, a multi-byte encoded number of 10 bytes can represent a 64-bit number.
This same process may be applied to "tags" and other values in the stream. In general since "tags" are small integer indexes, they too will be one byte encoded.
Multi-Byte Encoding of Sinned Numbers
Multi-byte encoding as described above works well for positive integers. However, in some cases it may be necessary to store signed numbers. For example, the coordinates of a point may be positive or negative depending on where the application situates the origin.
To multi-byte encode a signed number, the absolute value of the signed number may be determined, the absolute value then may be shifted left by 1 bit, and the sign of the original number may be stored in the list significant bit.
Using the technique set forth above, the signed numbers with absolute values are handled as follows:
Representing tags with indices into a GUID table may be another technique used to make the ink object efficient. As was already mentioned above, some of these GUIDS are predefined while others are custom to the application. The first 100 entries in the table are reserved and are not stored in the serialized stream.
In one example, only custom GUIDs, which may be represented by indices greater than 100, may be stored in the serialized format. The GUID table identifier (e.g., TAG_GUID_TABLE) in the stream identifies the custom GUID look up table. In such an example, the custom GUID table may be part of the ink stream only if the ink object contains at least one custom GUID.
As mentioned above, the system may use multi-byte encoding for the various tags listed above. As long as an application does not use more than a certain number (e.g., 27) of custom properties in any given ink object, then the all tags may be encoded using only a single byte.
A Summarization of the Storage of Ink
Ink may be stored in an ink object with the ink object providing coordinate data and/or other properties associated with strokes. Compression may be used to increase the efficiency at which the ink may be stored.

Crytek: Lens flares 'very important' to Crysis 3
Crytek didn't spend too much time talking up the visual side of Crysis 3 when EA gathered press this week in San Francisco to see the game. But there was one technical detail Crytek was proud enough of to call out: lens flares.
'You might notice that we have some pretty badass lens flares in the game. I think we probably invented the most insane lens flare system ever conceived in any game engine,' Senior Creative Director Rasmus Højengaard said during the presentation.
When I had a chance to interview him later, I asked: why does Crytek care enough about lens flares to talk about them?
A screen capture from Crysis 3's gameplay trailer.
PCG: You mentioned lens flares during the presentation, I thought that was an unusually-specific element to bring up. Why spend development time devoted to lens flares?
Rasmus Højengaard: You could ask that about a lot of stuff Crytek did. Why spend time on this? Right? It's just one of these things where� Some things we just end up going completely over the top with. We have a lot of different technologies where the bandwidth of that technology goes way above and beyond what any other game technology has.
And lens flares was just a funny example that I was thinking about today, because earlier today I'd been talking to Cevat [Yerli], who's the founder of Crytek, about lens flares in particular. I thought it was worth mentioning, I just thought about it when I saw these huge lens flares down from the corner there, looking up at the screen. It's something that people do as an afterthought, normally, but it's actually such an important visual element of a sci-fi game.
When you have a setting where the big stadium lights are lighting up this thing with gargoyles all over the place and fog and spaceships flying in, you have these huge anamorphic lens flares being drawn in between the trees, it's actually a very important visual element in the frame. And the way that we use it and the way that we canâ?¦ Because it's simulated, it's not just a little sprite being slapped on top of everything else in the game, it justâ?¦ It's like movies like Solaris, right? It's really important, it plays a huge roleâ?¦
Sure, it's part of their style, their visual languageâ?¦
RH: Yeah, exactly. It's part of the whole visual language that we're conveying. And the fact that you're behind this visor, there is actually a logical reason behind the lens flares. Actually, there's no logic in playing a first-person game where you look through your eyes and you have lens flares. A camera has lens flares, right? Or you need some kind of layer between that light source and your eyes. So it's just one of those things. A bit of a spur of the moment thing, I thought it was worth mentioning.
So would you say Crytek is the world leader in lens flare technology in games?
RH: Yes. For sure. Nobody has been that insane other than us, I'm sure.
Here's our preview of Crysis 3 based on what we saw ourselves.

Pregnancy is a time of great anticipation — and anxiety.
You might be wondering if you'll experience complications or if your baby will have health problems. Take comfort in the fact that most babies are born healthy. Still, you might want details about your baby's health beyond what your health care provider can observe.
Enter prenatal testing.
Prenatal testing includes both screening tests and diagnostic tests:
Despite these clear definitions, recent changes in technology have blurred the line between traditional screening and diagnostic tests.
For example, a new blood test for Down syndrome is now available in some areas. The test analyzes fetal DNA circulating in a mother's bloodstream. If a traditional screening test indicates a high risk of Down syndrome, the new blood test can define the risk more clearly. Although it isn't considered a diagnostic test, a normal result might eliminate the need for more invasive diagnostic testing.
Prenatal screening tests for fetal abnormalities are optional. It's important to make an informed decision about prenatal testing, especially if you're screening for fetal conditions that can't be treated.
Prenatal testing can provide information that influences your prenatal care. Remember, though, some screening tests introduce the need for careful personal decisions. Ultimately, the decision to pursue prenatal testing is up to you.
If you're concerned about prenatal testing, discuss the risks and benefits with your health care provider. You might also meet with a genetic counselor for a more thorough evaluation.
A genetic counselor can help you understand:
Taking the time to evaluate your options will help you make the best decision for you and your baby.

BEIJING — Every movie project involves a certain amount of negotiation, but finding middle ground proved no easy matter when writer-director Daniel Hsia tried to film "Shanghai Calling" in China.
To secure permission to make his story about a Chinese American lawyer relocated to the country's largest city, Hsia exchanged numerous screenplay drafts with China's censors. The government's film production arm, China Film, which co-produced the movie, wanted to make sure that Shanghai was depicted as an efficient modern metropolis, that locals were shown as "kind and hospitable," that the visiting lawyer comes to appreciate the country by the film's conclusion and that a plot about piracy would be rewritten into more of a business misunderstanding, Hsia said.
But the most complicated give-and-take focused on the movie's investigative journalist, and the character's heroic path. American movie heroes typically choose greatness, but their path to glory is often sidetracked by failings or doubts as the idol struggles with physical and emotional setbacks. Chinese movie paragons, on the other hand, normally have greatness thrust upon them, are physically and emotionally stable and rarely change over the course of a tale.
PHOTOS: U.S.-China box office comparisons
"American heroes go out of their way to search for trouble," said Hsia, whose movie has played several festivals and will be shown at the Mill Valley Film Festival on Oct. 13 and 14. A Chinese protagonist, conversely, "does what he does because it's his duty, it's his job — not because he wants to do it." Incorporating that fundamental difference, Hsia said, led to "another huge rewrite," and the project was subsequently approved.
For all of the concessions and changes he had to make, Hsia said, "I absolutely would do it again." The movie opened Aug. 10 in China to glowing notices and solid box-office returns, and Hsia said he expects the independently financed film to play in U.S. theaters next year. "I do feel I got to make the movie I wanted to make," he said.
Hollywood and China are separated by more than 6,000 miles, but the more significant gulf can't be charted on any map. There are vast, historical differences in storytelling tradition that owe as much to Confucianism as modern political sensitivities, and bridging that narrative chasm has become a burning challenge given that within the next few years China will become the world's biggest movie market.
Thanks to loosening quota limits and an explosion of new theaters, Chinese moviegoers have been patronizing American movies in record numbers. The returns for U.S. films have been so outsized this year that Chinese authorities in the last several weeks have tried to limit their popularity. The steps include blackout periods in which no imported films can be exhibited in China and releasing two Hollywood blockbusters on the same day to limit their upside, as Chinese exhibitors recently did with "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man."
REPORT: Reel China - coverage of the Chinese movie industry
Those punitive limits, which prompted the Motion Picture Assn. of America to complain to Chinese authorities and the Obama administration, are compelling American producers to search for more Chinese co-productions such as "Shanghai Calling," which are not subject to retaliatory exhibition restrictions.
In many cases, the East-West partnerships are relatively painless, as was the case with "Looper," a science fiction action story opening here and in China on Sept. 28, which originally was set in France but rewritten to unfold partly in China. But in several other instances, American filmmakers have had to undergo crash courses in Chinese storytelling traditions, which can be as complex as a hero's journey and as seemingly trivial as how dragons are portrayed.
"There is no clear definition of what you can do and what you cannot do — from both the culture aspect and the censorship aspect," said Chinese American director and screenwriter Anna Chi, the director of the HBO film "Dim Sum Funeral" and co-director of "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers." "Of course there are regulations, there are laws. Everybody knows you can't do [a movie about] Tibet, you can't talk about the Falun Gong," she said of the spiritual practice the China Communist Party has tried to eradicate. "But in terms of creativity there is no handbook. It's all project by project."
To qualify for co-production financing, productions must include a Chinese story element and employ some Chinese production staff. China benefits from the expertise of foreign filmmakers, while Hollywood, in addition to avoiding the retaliatory distribution tactics, gets access to Chinese funding and a bigger cut of box office receipts than a purely American production.
PHOTOS: U.S.-China box office comparisons
Backers of foreign films typically take home around 25% of cinema grosses, assuming they are among the handful of non-Chinese movies allowed into the country under an import quota. But the American makers of Chinese co-productions can collect nearly double that amount of ticket sales. Qualifying for a co-production, however, can be akin to untying a Gordian knot.
"Back home in the States you are talking to just one person: the consumer. Here, you are talking to two: one is the government, the other is the consumer," says the Beijing-based American Dan Mintz, chief executive of DMG Entertainment, the Chinese partner for "Iron Man 3," a proposed co-production that has not started filming in China but has commenced in the United States.
Chi's proposed co-production "Women Warriors of the Yang Family" ran into problems over the depiction of its protagonist in her script. The story follows the life of the well-loved Northern Song Dynasty general Yang Zongbao, considered a hero in Chinese history books. To make his character more nuanced and a bit more Western, Chi provided him with a foible. To save his loved ones, he must first do something they abhor: When captured by the enemy he becomes a traitor. In reality, he is secretly fighting for his family.
The Chinese producers and censors demanded that the twist must be scrapped.
REPORT: Reel China - coverage of the Chinese movie industry
"[They said] he is a historical figure, so we cannot put any shameful things to his name. Because he's so beloved they say a Chinese audience wouldn't accept it," said Chi, who has since rewritten the script.

Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl Season 6 Episode 9 "The Revengers": Should Chuck and Blair Have Saved Bart Bass?
Look, we know that patricide is the new black and all, but sometimes the whole "innocent bystander" thing doesn't apply. On Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 9: "The Revengers", Bart Bass made it through half a cliffhanger before unhinging his hands and hitting the ground. (Someone please explain why the heck they bothered with a "To be continued...")
But we do have a little problem with the fact that Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) allowed his father to unceremoniously fall to his death. That Blair (Leighton Meester) stood by to witness the whole thing makes it even more unsettling. And yes, it's true that Bart did try to have Chuck killed, and threatened Blair's life in the process of the evening, but still.
We saw in the promo for Season 6, Episode 10 "New York, I Love You XOXO" that Chuck is now wanted for questioning and Blair is helping him hide and then there's a wedding and — oh yeah — an arrest. So, in the scheme of things, did it really help Chuck come to terms with his daddy issues to let the SOB (or, FO...forget it) fall? You tell us.
Want more Gossip Girl goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter! You know you love us. XOXO
At least it wasn't Chuck.
I can't believe that happened!

So do little children go to hell?
But I have my truth in my heart and no church will take it away from me.
I am at work and will have to add the scripture reference later, but Paul said that he was alive once (spiritually) but when the law came it slew him for with the law comes the knowledge of sin.God does not hold us accountable for sin where there is no law, but this includes the law of God written in our hearts. He, also, does not place the sins of the fathers on their children. So, I do not believe that we are born sinners through Adam's "original sin" as the orthodox teach. We are born flesh with a nature to sin, but as a child when we have no knowledge of the law of God, we are blameless.At whatever age we know what God wants of us (the law of God comes) and we choose to disobey, this is sin and we die spiritually and await being born-again spiritually.So, I do believe that there is an age of accountability, but it is not the same for all. And, we will not all choose sin the first time that we know what He wants of us. We may go many years with our relationship with God in tact until we willfully disobey and severe our individual spiritual umbilical chord (oops, there is the spiritual belly button argument).John
Howdy B_T:In addition, I reject his apparent belief in predestination which can be refuted by hundreds of verses that seem to extend salvation to everyone who "calls on the name of the Lord". Admittedly, the Bible is self contradictory on the concept of predestination but, for the record, I reject the idea because it paints our Father as a capricious, inconsistent respecter of persons in direct conflict with Acts 10:34 and James 1:17. Grace & Peace, John
There is also a difference between knowing and knowing.
