Rivals Capitalise
By Reuters - | Posted 2008-03-28 Email PrintBritish Airways has a long way to go to with pleasing customers in its new opening of Heathrow airport's Terminal 5 amid chaotic service and cancelled flights.
BA shares fell more than 3 percent on Friday, hit by the T5 chaos and jitters ahead of Sunday's start of the "open skies" deal to create greater competition on trans-Atlantic routes.
"I don't think it will be material, but it's certainly bad for sentiment and not good for the BA brand," BlueOar Securities analyst Douglas McNeill said. "You'd need several days of severe disruption to really impinge on BA's financial performance."
Adebayo Oniwinde, 52, a missionary from Lagos, was one of those caught up in the chaos.
"I made a booking on a BA flight to Oslo," he said. "I was going to travel at 1 o'clock. Now I'll have to wait eight hours."
BA's rivals, which resent Spanish-owned airport operator BAA
gifting BA its own dedicated terminal, were quick to capitalize.
Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic said 200 BA passengers had already switched across to longhaul Virgin flights because of the problems.
Bmi said Terminal 1 had 40 percent less passengers after BA moved out and it was "running like clockwork".
And private jet firm NetJets Europe said it had seen an 88 percent upsurge in traffic in and out of the London region in the past 24 hours.
The open-plan T5 is Britain's largest enclosed space, equivalent to the size of about 50 soccer pitches. It was touted as the answer to regular delays at the airport.
British Airways spent months promoting the gleaming Richard Rogers-designed terminal, packed with high-end shops and restaurants, bringing photographers and journalists from all over the world to show off the complex.
Budget airline Ryanair accused BAA of having "gold plated" the terminal when it should have been focusing on basic efficiency. It used the opportunity to call for the break-up of BAA, which also runs London's Gatwick and Stansted airports.
"If the BAA London airport monopoly was split up, competition would deliver better services and efficient terminals which actually work, as opposed to complicated Taj Mahals like Heathrow's T5," said Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary.

Former Spain coach Luis Aragones dies aged 75
MADRID - Luis Aragones, who was manager of the victorious Spain team at Euro 2008, has died aged 75. The former Real and Atletico Madrid player had been suffering from a serious illness.
Aragones will be remembered fondly by all Spaniards for leading the team to their first major trophy at an international tournament for 44 years, laying the foundations for the subsequent successes at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
After Spain lost to France in the second round of the 2006 World Cup, Aragones introduced the new style of tiki-taka football to the national team. It was to prove hugely successful, with Spain deserved winners of Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, Fernando Torres scoring the winning goal in the final against Germany.
Aragones, born in the Spanish capital, began his playing career at Getafe in 1957 before transferring to the Bernabeu. But it was at Atletico where he really made his name.
He scored 172 goals in 372 games for the club - acquiring the nickname "Zapatones", or "Big boots", for his free-kick prowess - and won the La Liga title on three occasions.
He scored in the 1974 European Cup final with Bayern Munich but Atletico lost the replay 4-0.
He went on to manage Atletico for six years, winning La Liga in 1977, and had a nomadic coaching career at many of Spain's major clubs, returning to Atletico on three further occasions under owner Jesus Gil. AGENCIES

Trent Reznor is an American musician, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is the founder and primary creative force behind the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, and was previously associated with the bands Option 30, Exotic Birds, and Tapeworm, among others. As of 2007, Reznor split his ties with Interscope Records, and is now an independent, unsigned musician.
Reznor began creating music early in his life, and cites his sheltered Western Pennsylvania childhood as an early influence. After being involved with a number of synthesizer-based bands in the mid-80s, Reznor gained employment at Right Track Studios and began creating his own music during the studio's closing hours under the moniker Nine Inch Nails. Reznor's first release as Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine, was a commercial success, and he has since released seven major studio releases. Outside of Reznor's chief project Nine Inch Nails, he has contributed to many other artists' albums, including Marilyn Manson and more recently Saul Williams. In 1997, Reznor appeared in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine described him as "the most vital artist in music."

(43 quotes found)
"Sometimes we pee on each other before we go on stage."
Trent Reznor
"Just because technology exists where you can duplicate something, that doesn't give you the right to do it. There's nothing wrong with giving some tracks away or bits of stuff that's fine. But it's not everybody's right. Once I record something, it's not public domain to give it away freely."
"Touring in the past, the show was just something you had to do to get to the after-show,"
"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie."
"one that was the antithesis of 'The Fragile,' which was complex. Songs flowed into each other, and it was layered. This record I wanted to be as stripped down as possible. I wanted it to be more real, more organic, not overly fixed or chopped up. At the end of the day, it reminds me of 'Pretty Hate Machine.' "
"I get involved with the set design, lighting and the use of film because I always hated seeing bands in arenas. They usually suck. You're not meant to see rock shows there. You're meant to see a basketball game. In approaching the idea of arenas, I asked, 'What can I do in arenas I can't do elsewhere?' I tried to make it unique, help frame the music, and make it more like theater, so it starts at one place and winds up at another."
"I really should know better by now, but I have read some [Internet bulletin boards] and feel the need to explain a few things. Jerome Dillon does not have a drinking or drug problem. His illness is not the result of abuse, nor are there any purposefully vague statements about what's really going on with him. I am sure he is as frustrated and upset with the situation as everybody else. This is not his fault. ... Jerome is a great drummer and a great guy. We all wish him the best and hope to see him behind the drums again soon. At the present time, his performing live with us places him in a potentially very harmful situation."
"the least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to."
"I can't begin to tell you what a difficult job it is to replace your drummer in this band."
"We played the set with Alex for the first time at midnight the night before [the Chicago concert]. Not exactly how I like to do things, but the only other alternative was to cancel more shows and I am NOT going to do that. I can't begin to tell you what a difficult job it is to replace your drummer in this band, and these guys have truly risen to the high-pressure situation that it is. Onward."

Click on the audio player above to hear this interview.
No one knows Senator Bernie Sanders better, or longer, than his big brother Larry.
Larry has lived in Oxford, England since 1969 and has dabbled in local government across the pond. He's now back in the United States and by his brother's side as he travels the country in his bid for president.
Larry Sanders, Bernie's only sibling, has fond memories of their childhood growing up in Brooklyn, where he says FDR, the Brooklyn Dodgers and corn beef and pastrami sandwiches ruled. He has bitter, sad memories of losing his parents when Larry and Bernie were just starting out in life, having to fend for themselves from a young age.
What you'll learn from this segment:
- The relationship between the Sanders brothers.
- How the Sanders childhood shaped Bernie Sanders's political career and presidential run.
- How Larry continues to be a guide for his younger brother.

Sprint Receives HSR Notification Related to DISH Network Proposal
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), May 06, 2013 - Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S) today announced that it had received formal notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") that Charles Ergen, Chairman of DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), has filed to acquire in excess of 50 percent of Sprint's Series 1 Common Stock, through DISH Network or a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

Sprint's Special Committee, established on April 22, 2013, continues to evaluate DISH Network's proposal and has not yet determined whether the proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Offer as such term is defined in Sprint's existing merger agreement with SoftBank Group Corp Corp. The company does not plan to comment further until the appropriate time.

Porteree Beer Cocktail
Happy as a clam
Even with the power out in almost all of Montgomery County, Maryland this last week, there were still farmer's markets to be visited, books to read and new recipe ideas to absorb. A trip to the 90th annual Olney farmer's market benefiting a local hospital grabbed the headlines and introductions were made to the good people of Good Farms in Olney.
The 90th annual farmer's market in Olney turned up two shocking things. That some plums are little and yellow and allegedly sweet, and; there is a Batman running around a local farmer's markets with boobs. Traumatized, I only photographed one of those two shocking discoveries. FoodNewsie is becoming more a blog about what food is news to me. With the mention of sweet yellow plums to others, no one has yet to be surprised. Okay – so what do you do with them?
Excitement poured through the FNKL with word of Elderberry Cordial found on one of the sites scoured by The Watched Pot. The cordial is a concentrated syrup of elderberry flowers that requires many steps and produces a much more superior concentrate that those found commercially. When looking to see if this could be applied to the plums, it turns out that Sloe Gin, made of the Sloe Berry, might lend itself to the Sweet Yellow Plums since the Sloe Berry is a relative of the plum.
HDR photography is high dynamic range photography. Software balances three images to produce ONE image. The results are true, but sometimes not at all flattering as in the case above where the HDR clearly draws what the human eye receives as subtleties.
What's attractive and peculiar about these plums is that just beneath the surface, there's a lot of texture and luminosity. HDR photography reveals how busy things are just under the thin, yellow skin of these plums. Handle with care! They're little bags of water that are easily bruised and like Ultraviolet Crime Scene photography, our HDR shows the workings beneath the skin.
Our Plum Gin follows the Sloe Gin recipe with a few cloves, a small stick of cinnamon and FOUR ounces of sugar added to pricked plums stuffed in a mason jar and turned daily for three months after being completely covered in clear gin.
While the four ounces of sugar were strongly held at the bottom of the jar early on, once turned end over end several times and placed into storage (cool dark place), the sugar had been absorbed by the gin, the plums and within a little time, will be completely dissolved aiding in the preservation of the drink.

Some myths are so entrenched in our culture that they're passed down as facts from generation to generation. This entertaining and enlightening series takes on the most famous pieces of lore. Young historians will be surprised that George Washington did not have wooden teeth, and Betsy Ross did not make the first American flag.
Every myth serves as a doorway to more facts about American history, including Independence Day, the Constitutional Convention, and colonial history. Relevant images and graphic organizers support and enhance each volume.

NYC's Anti-Sugar PSAs
We've all heard of PSA's that educate us on the effects of smoking, drinking alcohol, seat belt use, etc. but I came across these PSA's from the New York City Health Department warning us of the dangers of consuming too much sugar. Yep, sugar. Or more specifically, sugar filled drinks such as cola and sweet tea. I found the comments just as interesting (as I usually do) as the 'ads' themselves.
One reader felt that this is pure tax wasting propaganda, while others were moved by it; enough perhaps to make a change themselves.
One thing is certain. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes is becoming rampant in this country and apparently the choices we are making as consumers are not helping. If we develop effective campaigns to change what we put into our bodies (i.e. tobacco use) or to take steps to protect ourselves (i.e. use seat belts, don't txt and drive), then why not anti-sugar campaigns? If this or any other PSA prompts an action to change for the better, I think that is a positive. I applaud NYC's efforts. It sure made me think twice when I went to the fridge this morning!

Rolls and Ruffles
We made a trip down to the Fun Center recently for Miss MaKella's one year pics. As always, Jamie at Otis and James captured my little girl perfectly. This picture is one of my favorites. Before too long those rolls will be gone and my little girl will be replacing bloomers for bikinis... SIGH.
The adorable baby bloomers are from RuffleButts.

Better Living with MS: Manage the Clutter
Recently I read an article in the International Journal of MS Care that hit home, "Clutter Management for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis" by Jennifer Tamar Kalina from the MS Care Center of the New York University Langone Medical Center, New York. In the article, Ms. Kalina discusses the clutter management group program which has been offered at their MS Center for over 8 years. She describes in detail how incorporating clutter management interventions into MS care programs can enhance the quality of life and functional independence of people living with the disease.
Clutter has a profound impact on individuals living with chronic diseases such as MS, with detrimental effects on physical, financial, social, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Many common MS symptoms, such as decreased mobility, visual or cognitive impairment, fatigue, and depression, may contribute to clutter accumulation as well. Clutter removal interventions may increase patients' participation in vocational and leisure activities, social pursuits, and other meaningful occupations.
Read this post in its entirety:
Clutter Management for MS Patients

You were reading my mind! Clutter leads to Distraction, reminders of things I will not do, don't want to do anymore, can't do or can't wear! This leads to perseverative grief over wasted money, what to do with it all. To quote Muddy Waters, "You got to move a long train." Cognition challenged! Best wishes for the Season of light! meg

ADRIAN — A Tecumseh woman claimed her drug test results were wrong when she appeared for sentencing for a probation violation Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court. A repeat test was ordered and the results were returned minutes later.
"It's obvious my client has a substance abuse problem," said public defender John Glaser after a probation officer reported Charlene Leann Watkins' second test was also positive for cocaine and marijuana.
"You had to know it would read the same as the first test," Judge Margaret M.S. Noe said to Watkins, 44. "You do have a serious substance abuse issue," Noe said, before handing down a 90-day jail term. Watkins is on probation from a conviction in a 2010 drug possession case.

The latest thriller from America's #1 bestselling Queen of Suspense
In her new thriller, Mary Higgins Clark delves into a legal battle over the guilt or innocence of a man accused of murdering his wife. Woven into her plot is a little-understood, eerie but documented medical phenomenon-the emergence of a donor's traits and memories in the recipient of a heart transplant.
Natalie Raines, famous Broadway star, is murdered after accidentally discovering who killed her former roommate, Jamie Evans. Natalie's estranged husband, theatrical agent Gregg Aldrich, was known to have stalked Natalie to find out if she was seeing another man, and becomes "a person of interest" in her death. After a career criminal comes forward to claim that Aldrich hired him to kill his wife, a job he decided to turn down, a Grand Jury indicts Gregg for the murder of his wife.
Emily Wallace, an attractive thirty-two year old widowed assistant prosecutor, is summoned by her boss, Edward "Ted" Scott Wesley, who tells her that he wants her to handle the case, a plum assignment. She spends increasingly long hours preparing for the trial. A seemingly well-meaning neighbor offers to take care of her dog in her absence. Unaware of his violent past, she gives him a key to her home...
As Aldrich's trial is making headlines, Wesley warns Emily that this high-profile case will reveal personal matters about her, such as the fact that she had a heart transplant. And, during the trial, Emily experiences sentiments which defy all reason and continue after Gregg Aldrich's fate is decided by the jury. In the meantime, she does not realize that her own life is now at risk.

Tesseract OCR Library – Successfully compiled in Window :)
Today, I got the project to make OCR software. After googling, I reach on the conclusion to use Tesseract library. This library is opensource and available in both Windows and Linux. This library is provided with Visual Studio project. I have compiled it with the .NET and also Visual Studio 6.0. This creates tesseract.exe. Which is successfully run on my pc. It converts the tiff image into the text. Though not perfect but we can use it in our project.
If anybody wants the instruction please mail me or post your queries and question here.
Updated on 20 Mar 2008
Following is the link which my compiled code
Also google updated and provided tesseract code which is on following link
Updated on 5 Jun 2008
Following are the links which may be useful for compiling under .NET. I haven't tried it still.
Updated on 23 Mar 2009
I believe that following URL will resolve all your issue. This ocr is updated on 14th April 2008. I think you should give it a shot 🙂
Updated on 05 Oct 2010
Now, Tesseract 2.04 is available with the compiled source code in Visual C++ 2008 Express edition on http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list.
Even 3.0 (Preview 1) is released with windows executable which you can use in .NET externally and convert in text.

I have doing one OCR application. so i I had try to Tesseract 1.03 opensouce in Microsoft Visual Sudio-2005 .Net framework 2.0. But this show the errors list(Refer below), Please help me, If you have exe file or compilable source code please send me with discreption.
Looking forward your replay….Thank you very much

how do you resolve those errors?..
I am actually experiencing those errors and I don't know what to do..
Will Send you tomorrow.
can you send it to me also?..
Please download it from. Please note that this code is for .NET.
I have changed the code a bit to remove the errors.
Great job on compiling. How do you actually invoke the exe? passing commandline parameters?
basically i haven't tested the .NET executable but for VC++ executable, i succeed for it. Yes i am invoking exe by passing parameter to it.
tesseract [imagefile] [textfile]But not every image can be processed by this exe. So you need to download ImageMagic and use it's convert.exe to convert existing images to tif. And this generated tif needs to be used by tesseract so that it can successfully OCR the image.
I have just downloaded the compiled Tesseract Windows exe complete with a user interface from the website below in case this is of any use to you. This version also opens any Tiff compression images.
I have tried to download your modified Tesseract OCR library, but the link didn't work. Can you post this again, please?
I was able to compile it using Studio 2005 but I have some problems running tesseract2.01.exe on Windows 2k3 Server
for example when I want to scan the phototest.tif file which goes with src I have the following in tesseract.log
Unable to load unicharset file tesseract2.01.exe/tessdata/eng.unicharset
I have run all the .exe files in training folder. All except cnTraining.exe which gives me unhandled exception.
I tried to find some data to put it into tessdata folder but then I have another list of errors in log file
Could you help me out with that? 🙂 Thanks!
p.s. I tried to compile the cnTraining to be able to Debug it but I got LINK errors..
Uh.. I got /tessdata from project source zip file. I run tesseract and it works. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of LINK errors while compiling the cnTraining project 🙂
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl getopt(int,char * * const,char const *)" (?getopt@@YAHHQAPADPBD@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl ParseArguments(int,char * *)" (?ParseArguments@@YAXHPAPAD@Z) cnTraining.obj

Error 3 fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals .\..\..\debug/cnTraining.exeIt would be great to get some help! Thanks!
Nick…is it must to use .NET code of tesseract as i have .exe file running and tested on my pc. If you need that source code please let me know. I would upload the same. I haven't tested the .NET code and i believe i could not do for the next 2 week as of tight schedule. Please let me know your thoughts.
Nick, I have compiled cnTraining in .NET and its working fine with my machine. Do you need that executable. Else try to compile it on Visual C++ 6.0. May be it is the issue.
Hi, have downloaded tesserect code, compiled in .NET and produced the correct .exe.
However I do not know how to produce a text file from my .tif, Please can you help?
I tried running from command line:
c:\tesserect pic.tif resultfile.txt -
Here you need to follow some steps. Following would be useful. You need to convert image tif to another tif format using imagemagik.
http://www.howtoforge.com/ocr_with_tesseract_on_ubuntu704 -
>>I have compiled cnTraining in .NET and its working fine with my machine
As I understand that program should give me default tessdata files…anyway I am still not able to compile it by my own. The one which I have gives me an exception when I run it 😦 It would be great if you provide me your source files. Thanks!
Well, finally I have just compiled my code but there is still that problem. It gives me an exception when running. Could it be because I run it on w2k3 server machine? I gonna check it with XP though.
I am also planing to use it in my project… just wondering is it hard to tech it or not 🙂
I believe it would be run on 2k3. Just use ImageMagic before running it on any image.
tesseract.exe runs well without any problem. I am experiencing problem with running cnTraining.exe 🙂
Nick. I haven't used that exe still :-P.
Manish Pansiniya,
can you please update your link:
the link is broken…
is it possible to compile it under .NET compact framework? -
Hi Manish,
Can you please give us the link to download the .NET compiled version of the Tesseract OCR?

Please, I would like to use tesseract with C#, can you help me
thanks(I Talk to you from Brazil) -
I also am looking to use tesseract with c# without invoking an exe.
Any Suggestions? -
Sutekh, I think the library is such that we generally use the executable to do the needed work. Need to look into the code to make it work. And regarding C#. I haven't done it as i said before. But you can make the dll in VC++ and use it in C# somehow.
Hi Manish,
Today, I got the project to make OCR software by using Tesseract library. After googling, I
got ur blog. i did read that u already have compiled version of dotnet .So Can you please give me the link to download the .NET compiled version of the Tesseract OCR?—

Hi Mariusz,
See, actually i have build it in VC++ and use exe from command prompt. As i have already mentioned that it is not giving 100% result but yes, it is really good one in open source. From C#, i was calling executable from shellcommand library and then passing image to covert to text.
For java, i dont have much idea. But you can goto Google code and search that.
Do you have the library for visual studio in vb or c#?
Hello Manish ji,
i am using tesseract, but the OCR engine is not working properly in terms of getting wordlist and co-ordiantes. It is not getting wordlist atleast 40% for some documents which are clear in font. please guide me what i need to change in my tesseract application. thanq in advance. -

Hi Manish,
I am trying to use tesseract 2.04 "exe", directly to command line but when i run "tesseract.exe test.tif out.txt" showme "unable to load unicharset file ./tessdata/eng.unicharset" and if i change the language spanish "unable to load unicharset file ./tessdata/spa.unicharset"
Hi Ernie,
From your setup, it seems that it is the problem of path setting in the tesseract. Put the tessdata folder at the proper location. I could not help you more as I have done that around 2 years ago. I will look at the tesseract progress and see if I can post something new on this so that it would be helpful.
Hi Manish,
Can you help me how to use tesseract ocr on vc++ 2008 mfc aplication? how to linking the dll?

IntelliPro IT Solutions -
Now its available on Google code http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ to download. The 2.04 version can be easily built in VC++ 2008 out of box.
when i run on command prompt tesserct like;
tesseract image_name.tiff and out_put_file_name.txt then this error occurs,
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine
TIFFOpen: mypune0015.tif: Cannot open.
tesseract:Error:Read of file failed:mypune0015.tif

I think you will need to save the tif file as an uncompressed file. Could you please look into that whether you have uncompressed file or not.

Hi Reyniel, Acttually it was on t http://cid-7ec550791692ecb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Tesseract/tesseract-1.03.zip url but it was really old one and I do not have time to try new one. Could you please download new one from google if it works.
I have started working with tesseract but i can't run it. I tried to work using command prompt on windows but it is saying "Can't create output file"
on cmd i am using: :tesseract sample2.tif output
My whole term project is based on it so please help me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

I figured it out, if you are using visual studios 2010 and are using windows forms / designer you can add it easily this way with no issues
1) add the following projects to your project ( i am warning you once, do not add the tesseract solution, or change any setting in the projects you add, unless you love to hate yourself )
wordrecyou can add the others but you don't really want all that built into your project do you? naaa, build those separately
2) go to your project properties and add libtesseract as a reference, you can now that it is visible as a project, this will make it so that your project builds fast without examining the millions of warnings within tesseract. [common properties]->[add reference]
3) right click your project in the solution explorer and click project dependencies, make sure it is dependant on libtesseract or even all of them, it just means they build before your project.
4) the tesseract 2010 visual studio projects contain a number of configuration settings aka release, release.dll, debug, debug.dll, it seems that the release.dll settings produce the right files. First, set the solution output to release.dll. Click your project properties. Then click configuration manager. If that is not available, do this, click the SOLUTION's properties in the solution tree and click configuration tab, you will see a list of projects and the associated configuration settings. You will notice your project is not set to release.dll even though the output is. If you took the second route you still need to click configuration manager. Then you can edit the settings, click new on your projects settings and call it release.dll…exactly the same as the rest of them and copy the settings from release. Do the same thing for Debug, so that you have a debug.dll name copied from debug settings. wheew…almost done
5) Don't try to change tesseracts settings to match yours….that wont work ….and when the new release comes out you wont be able to just "throw it in" and go. Accept the fact that in this state your new modes are Release.dll and Debug.dll. don't stress out…you can go back when its is finished and remove the projects from your solution.
6) Guess where the libraries and dll's come out? in your project, you may or may not need to add the library directories. Some people say to dump all the headers into a single folder so they only need to add one folder to the includes but not me. I want to be able to delete the tesseract folder and reload it from the zips without extra work….and be fully ready to update in one move or restore it if I made a mess of the code. Its a bit of work and you can to it with code instead of the settings which is the way i do it, but you should include all the folders that contain header files within the 2010 tesseract project folder and leave them alone.
7) there is no need to add any files to your project. just these lines of code….. I have included some additional code that converts from one foreign data set to the tiff friendly version with no need to save / load file. aren't I nice?
8) now you can fully debug in debug.dll and release.dll, once you have successfully built it into your project even once you can remove all the added projects and it will be peeerfect. no extra compiling or errors. fully debugable, all natural.
9) If I remember right, I could not get around the fact I had to copy the files in 2008/lib/ into my projects release folder….darn it.
In my projects "functions.h" I put
#pragma comment (lib, "liblept.lib" )
#define _USE_TESSERACT_
#ifdef _USE_TESSERACT_
#pragma comment (lib, "libtesseract.lib" )
#includein my main project I put this in a class as a member:
tesseract::TessBaseAPI *readSomeNombers;and of course I included "functions.h" somewhere
then I put this in my classes constructor:
readSomeNombers = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();
readSomeNombers ->Init(NULL, "eng" );
readSomeNombers ->SetVariable( "tessedit_char_whitelist", "0123456789,." );then I created this class member function: and a class member to serve as an output, don't hate, I don't like returning variables. Not my style. The memory for the pix does not need to be destroyed when used inside a member function this way I believe and my test suggest this is a safe way to call these functions. But by all means, you can do whatever.
void Gaara::scanTheSpot()
Pix *someNewPix;
char* outText;
ostringstream tempStream;
RECT tempRect;
someNewPix = pixCreate( 200 , 40 , 32 );
convertEasyBmpToPix( &scanImage, someNewPix, 87, 42 );readSomeNombers ->SetImage(someNewPix);
outText = readSomeNombers ->GetUTF8Text();
tempStream << outText;
classMemeberVariable = tempStream.str();
//pixWrite( "test.bmp", someNewPix, IFF_BMP );
}The object that has the information that I want to scan is in memory and is pointed to by &scanImage. It is from the "EasyBMP" library but that is not important.
Which I deal with in a function in "functions.h"/ "functions.cpp" by the way, i am doing a little extra processing here while i am in the loop, namely thinning the characters and making it black and white and reversing black and white which is unnessesry. At this phase in my development I am still looking for ways to improve the recognition. Though for my proposes this has not yielded bad data yet. My view is to use the default Tess data for simplicity. I am acting heuristically to solve a very complex problem.
void convertEasyBmpToPix( BMP *sourceImage, PIX *outputImage, unsigned startX, unsigned startY )
int endX = startX + ( pixGetWidth( outputImage ) );
int endY = startY + ( pixGetHeight( outputImage ) );
unsigned destinationX;
unsigned destinationY = 0;
for( int yLoop = startY; yLoop < endY; yLoop++ )
destinationX = 0;
for( int xLoop = startX; xLoop GetPixel( xLoop, yLoop ) ) ) )
pixSetRGBPixel( outputImage, destinationX, destinationY, 0,0,0 );
pixSetRGBPixel( outputImage, destinationX, destinationY, 255,255,255 );
bool isWhite( RGBApixel *image )
//destination->SetPixel( x, y, source->GetPixel( xLoop, yLoop ) );
( image->Red Blue Green = 1200) //%%% vkr for VC 6.0
typedef _int64 inT64;
typedef unsigned _int64 uinT64;
typedef long long int inT64;
typedef unsigned long long int uinT64;
#endif //%%% vkr for VC 6.0
typedef float FLOAT32;
typedef double FLOAT64;

Mourinho feels Mikel, who has a few months left in his Chelsea contact, will help improve Man U's midfield and is prepared to sign him in January when he knows he'll come cheap. Read the full report, after the cut.
Mikel, 29, has not played under new Stamford Bridge manager Antonio Conte and there are no plans to renew his contract which runs out this season.
Now the Man united boss is ready to take advantage with a cut-price New Year offer for the player the Red Devils thought they had signed ten years ago.
Mikel had just turned 19 when the Old Trafford outfit announced on their website that they had signed the teenager on a four-year contract from Norwegian club Lyn Oslo. The £4million transfer was done directly with the player and his club — bypassing his agents and he was even pictured in a United shirt. But Chelsea angrily claimed they had an agreement with the agents to buy him.
It was reported Obi started to get threatening phone calls and ended up having to take refuge in a safe hotel with a security guard.
He then went missing from Lyn amid stories he had been kidnapped.
The Nigerian midfielder had actually travelled to London where he went on Sky Sports TV to claim that he had been pressured into signing for United, something they denied, and he wanted to join the Blues.
The matter was resolved when Chelsea paid United £12m and Lyn £4m.
If the deal is successful, this will be the second time Mourinho will sign Obi, who he believes can play in a defensive midfield role in front of the back four.
He needs that type of player to give £89m Paul Pogba freedom to roam.

Appearing via videolink at an Old Bailey hearing, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, spoke only to confirm their names while legal representatives settled a date for the case.
Both men are charged with murdering Drummer Rigby outside a barracks in south London on 22 May while Adebolajo, whose arm was in a cast, faces further charges of attempting to murder two police officers and possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used.
The suspects, who have been remanded in Belmarsh prison until a further pre-trial hearing on 27 September, were flanked by security guards throughout the 20-minute proceedings.

Are you ready for Monday Night Football without Hank Williams, Jr.?
ESPN is and they're locked in on Williams, Jr.'s replacement -- at least for this Monday's game. It's Detroit Lions retired running back Barry Sanders. He'll narrate a pre-game segment on the broadcast where Williams Jr.'s song had been played since 1989.
"Ok, I admit it," tweeted Sanders on Thursday. "I will be at MNF this week and doing the intro."
It's fitting as the game is hosted by the Lions this week.
"The football-themed tease open that we have been using to start the MNF telecast will now air before kickoff," said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz to SheKnows.com in an email. "This week we have a terrific open narrated by Barry Sanders."
"This is the format we'll likely use the remainder of the season. We haven't made any decisions beyond that."
As for Williams Jr., the furor over his dismissal is growing. Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin weighed in on the Williams Jr. controversy on Sean Hannity's radio show on Thursday.
"I think it's pretty disgusting," Palin said. "Hank Williams and what he is going through now, I think it's a very clear illustration of a greater societal problem and that is the hypocrisy on the left -- the liberals who can throw these stones at a conservative and they [sic] knowing that they're not going to be held accountable."
Williams, Jr.'s intro song, "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight," was pulled by ESPN from the Monday Night broadcast after Williams, Jr. compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler in an interview. Williams, Jr. subsequently apologized, but it wasn't good enough to have his song reinstated.

Loves me some Wolverton. I posted about this story on my blog Omega Channel some time ago. The story was redrawn for Eerie Publications' Tales From the Tomb mag in the early 70s and renamed Till Death Do Us Part. They even used the same page layout. It's kind of weird. Check out the side by side comparison: http://omegachannel.blogspot.com/2006/04/great-basil-wolvertontales-from-tomb.html

LOLOL! He goes on national TV to declare his scientific genius. "Look, everybody! I've invented the RealDoll! What?! It's NOT creepy, it's SCIENCE!"
And technically, since he's such a dick to her so soon after creating her, he doesn't really need to be ugly for the story to work. He probably couldn't keep a real woman even without having the Mr. Hyde dental plan. Besides the 'Tales from the Tomb' magazine's second version, there's another one magnifically drawn. However the plot is slightly different from the original. In it a mad scientific seeks revenge against strong rivals creating a robot woman whose name is Rita (she actually looks like a gorgeous Rita Hayworth). This lethal robot, besides being strong, is created with the desire of kissing her victims to death. The end is almost similar to Wolverton' story. I've been searching for this version in the net without success. If you happen to know where I can find it I'll appreciate the information. Thank you.

Water Balloons in Slow Motion – Like a Ballet of Latex [VIDEO]
I have seen tons of slow motion captures of water balloons. Mostly they focus on what happens to them when they pop, all full of water. But this one is different. If you have a fear of balloons known as globophobia, this video might not be for you. But if you have a fear of just the sound of balloons, or other other things popping, aka loud noises, that would be ligyrophobia this one is for you. So if your thing is a love of balloons that don't pop, filled with water dancing before you eyes in slow motion….this is pretty cool.

The annual NFL draft is one of the league's jewels of the offseason – three days of national media attention highlighted by awkward bro-hugs from Commissioner Roger Goodell. The league's annual supplemental draft is far less visible and far less technologically advanced.
The league will conduct its annual supplemental draft Thursday afternoon. Not only won't there be a gathering of team representatives, the draft itself will be conducted via e-mail – if there are any picks made at all.
The supplemental draft has been in place since 1977, when trivia answer Al Hunter, a running back from Notre Dame who was suspended by the team for violating the team's dormitory visitation rules, was selected. The supplemental draft has been conducted every year since and is open to players deemed ineligible at the time of the regular draft. Players typically either missed the deadline for filing for the draft or had issues – academic or disciplinary – that came up in the offseason that impacted their eligibility with their colleges teams.
The supplemental draft has largely produced names that didn't make a huge impact on the NFL, but has included some big names as well, including wide receiver Cris Carter (1987), quarterback Bernie Kosar (1985), linebacker Brian Bosworth (1987), wide receiver Rob Moore (1990), offensive tackle Mike Wahle (1998), linebacker Ahmad Brooks (2006) and offensive tackle Jared Gaither (2007). Last year, the Cleveland Browns made Josh Gordon the only player selected, giving up a second-round pick.
Teams who make bids on players offer an undisclosed draft pick as compensation. If two teams both submitted the same round of pick for a player, the team with the worse record the previous year gets the player.
Don't expect the Vikings to be involved in the 2013 supplemental draft for two reasons. In the 36 years of the supplemental draft, the Vikings have selected just one player – South Carolina wide receiver Ryan Bethea in 1988. The other reason is that this may be the weakest supplemental class in a long time.
The 2013 list includes defensive end James Boyd and defensive tackle Nate Holloway of UNLV, defensive end Toby Jackson of Central Florida, wide receiver Dewayne Peace of Houston, WR O.J. Ross of Purdue and cornerback Damond Smith of South Alabama.
The word coming out from scouts is that none of these players is worthy of anything more than a seventh-round pick and, given that they will become free agents if not selected, most teams won't be willing to drop a draft choice when there is a fair chance that, if they are interested, they can sign the player as a free agent by stepping up after the player clears the draft process.
There has rarely been a lot of league fanfare surrounding the supplemental draft and this year will be no exception. It will come and go Thursday without a lot of media attention and may well snap a four-year streak of at least one player being selected. Whether a player gets picked or not, don't expect to see the Vikings involved in the process.

With a number of games still to be re-scheduled, Pontypridd now have games in hand on all other teams in the division, and will need to make the most of those opportunities to rise from their relatively lowly position of seventh in the table.
As they return to the fray against the Steel-men of Gwent - a team two positions below them - Ponty will have to contend with a swathe of injuries as they chase maximum points from a tough encounter.
Long standing absentees, winger Chris Clayton, lock Ryan Savage and flanker Kristian Dacey, with abdominal, thigh and knee injuries respectively, are still sidelined, and have now been joined by another four players on the sick list.
Centre Lawrence Price and hooker Huw Dowden were both injured playing for Welsh Academicals midweek, the former with a hamstring strain and the latter with shoulder damage. Also out of contention are full back Matthew Hutchings with an infected hand in plaster and prop Stuart Williams with a hamstring twinge.
The sum of Ponty's absentees is made up by centre Gavin Dacey and outside half Dai Flanagan, both away with the Wales Sevens squad in Hong Kong.
Drafted in on permit from Aberdare is young utility back Gary Williams, whilst wingers Owen and Lewis Williams and outside half Gareth McCarthy make a welcome return from recent injury. Also back in the frame are scrum half Rhys Downes and hooker Rhys Williams, both returning to club duties from the Wales under 20 squad.
The Pontypridd team selected to face Ebbw Vale is as follows:
15.Kristian Baller. 14.Owen Williams. 13.Adam Thomas. 12.Mike Davies. 11.Lewis Williams. 10.Gareth McCarthy. 9.Rhys Downes.
1.Sam Hobbs. 2.Leighton Davies. 3.Ryan Harford. 4.Grant Harrington. 5.Chris Dicomidis. 6.Geraint Lewis. 7.Wayne O'Connor. 8.Nathan Strong - cpt.

Odd Gospel Greek: "Messiah" with a Greek accent
"Had Jesus been a messiah with a name in Isaiah, the King James Version, according to its Anglicization of Hebrew words, would have named him Joshua the Messiah." – Willis Barnstone, The Restored New Testament
The writer of the gospel John seems to have invented an odd, Greekification of a Hebrew word. It's the word, spelled Μεσίας, or alternatively Μεσσίας. John only used this word twice, and it's not a Greek word used anywhere else before his gospel. It's not in any of the other Greek gospels, not in the book of Acts or in the Apocalypse, not in any of Paul's writings, and not any of the other epistles written by other writers. Thus, it's not in the New Testament other than in these two instances in John's gospel. And it is not in all of the Septuagint. We'll come back to how John uses his made-up word, Μεσ[σ]ίας. Then we'll discuss a bit the problems it causes for translators of the Greek New Testament and of the Hebrew Bible into a single third language.
First note how, in the epigraph above, Barnstone is making the point that the KJV Anglicizes the Hebrew Bible names and the Greek New Testament names differently. In fact, the KJV translators did use the now-English word "Messiah" for a Hebrew word, but they did so only twice. Elsewhere, for that same Hebrew word, they use "annointed." Let's look at the King James Version for this, with the Hebrew inserted and with the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew inserted as well. Let's look at Daniel 9:26-27 and at Isaiah
Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the [משיח] Messiah [χρῖσμα] the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall [משיח] Messiah [χριστοῦ] be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Thus saith the LORD to his [משיח] anointed [χριστῷ], to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
So let's just stress this again. The KJV translators use "anointed" as the default translation for the Hebrew word משיח in all instances except the two verses in Daniel above.
And the Septuagint translators always use χριστ* (meaning "annointed") for the same Hebrew word משיח . When we read the Greek New Testament, likewise, we always find χριστ* (meaning "annointed") for this concept that we all understand as Messiah, as the KJV translates the Hebrew word משיח rather exceptionally in Daniel 9:26-27.
When we come to the odd gospel Greek, then here's what the KJV has done. It changes the Greek χριστ* (meaning "annointed") from "annointed" to an Anglicized word, Christ. And it makes the odd gospel Greek Μεσ[σ]ίας into an Anglicized word, Messias.
Here then are John 1:41 and John 4:25 … 29. [The Greek words are inserted.]
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias [μεσ.σ.ίας], which is, being interpreted, the Christ [χριστός].
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias [μεσ.σ.ίας] cometh, which is called Christ [χριστός]: when he is come, he will tell us all things… Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ [χριστός]?
What you might see has happened is that the writer of the odd Greek gospel of John has two of his characters pronouncing the Hebrew word משיח in two different instances as μεσ.σ.ίας. It's a very odd and strange pronunciation, but there it is. Nonetheless in each instance the same writer explains. He means these characters to mean χριστ* (meaning "annointed"), which is how all of the Septuagint translators and all of the other not-as-odd Greek writers of the New Testament made it.
The KJV translators seem to sense that these two spoken Greeky words are odd, and so they Anglicize them "Messias" and not, as they did for the Hebrew word משיח in Daniel, as "Messiah." They also, then, switch the not so odd Greek word χριστ* (meaning "annointed") to "Christ," as we've already said. We've repeated ourselves because there's this mess of Messias and Messiah and anointed and Christ that gets made.
Which makes us wonder, if the odd gospel Greek μεσ.σ.ίας had never been invented, then might we have something more consistent like Joshua the Anointed or even just Joshua the Messiah (and not Jesus the Messias)?

I think you mean John 1:41 not 1:45.
The fault here is not with KJV but goes back at least to the Vulgate:
invenimus Messiam quod est interpretatum Christus (John 1:41)
scio quia Messias venit qui dicitur Christus (John 4:25)
So χριστός and μεσσίας were being transliterated long before KJV. And the former, at least, had surely become "Christ" in English long before KJV, indeed long before any English Bible translation – according to this dictionary it was introduced into Old English as long ago as the 6th to 7th centuries.
But in Daniel 9 the Vulgate has christus. So the oddity there may be a KJV innovation.
So what were you going to say about "the problems it causes for translators of the Greek New Testament and of the Hebrew Bible into a single third language"? I could add some interesting observations there. Or were you thinking only about English?

Very interesting observations about the role of the Vulgate here. I really hope to say more but am out of time today. Please do add your insights about Bible translation languages in addition to English. -

I'm also out of time today, but will add some insights when I get the chance.

Whether in Jeromian Latin or in KJV English or in any other single language, I think the real challenge for translating the Hebrew Bible together with the Greek New Testament comes when there are two or more languages presented in the original text. For example, John John 4:25 … 29.
The woman is Samaritan, the man Galilean, and the narrator/translator from an unknown place. She is speaking accented Aramaic we presume. He is speaking a more conventional Hebraic aramaic. The gospel writer is using just Greek to try to capture the differences. And the literary backdrop to all of this are: the Greek Septuagint texts (at least a couple of centuries old but translated in the diaspora under a Greek empire) and the Hebrew scriptures being taught also in the Synagogues (in "Palestine" and in that same wide diaspora all under a Roman would-be Latin empire).
The English translator has to consider what is going on in the Greek text to try to capture the differences between spoken speech, by a woman and by a man, different because of sex and because of race and region. The narrator has them arguing over true religion, true Jewishness. But he has her saying something like "muhsiuh." And there's this little aside (maybe her own explanation) that this means "The Anointed One." And later in that same context, in 29, he has her repeating, not the novel expression but, "The Anointed One." "Could this be The Anointed One?"
I don't have Barnstone in front of me and am unfortunately again out of time. But Barnstone thinks the solution for English translation partly requires the rejection of the Anglicized words Christ and Christian and Christianity, since these do not get at the Hebraic meanings of the conversations within the Greek New Testament.

+1 to merge all SASL + SSL + StartTLS code into protocol-ldap module removing the need for these tiny modules.
+1 to using server-unit to aggregate unit tests that work against the protocols.
Now I don't understand what's going on with ChainConfiguration. Are you using CoR pattern?

IMO, we should concentrate on getting SASL working and configurable.
A 1.5.1 with SASL support and Start TLS would be a good feature set to
have working. I would rather get this integrated into server.xml as
Spring config.

We also need to specify user lookups, either by searching a base DN or
regex mapping directly to a DN. SASL is going to give us,
server-side, a username and possibly realm; for example:
CRAM-MD5: username = 'hnelson'
DIGEST-MD5: username = 'hnelson', realm = 'EXAMPLE.COM'
GSSAPI: username = ' firstname.lastname@example.com'
It is up to us to determine how to map those username forms to DN's in
the DIT for purposes of both (1) authenticating that user, meaning (a)
getting their userPassword or (b) Kerberos credentials and (2) getting
an LdapContext for them to use.
Other than that, yes, that is everything I can think of. As you
noticed, all of these are centralized in ConfigureChain with the
intent of moving them to XML config.
The "saslHost" is the hostname of the server. The issue here is that
it is transmitted during SASL negotiation and checked for a mismatch,
much like web server SSL certificates are checked to make sure the web
server name matches the cn attribute of the X.509 public certificate.
For example, with client-side JNDI, if your PROVIDER_URL doesn't match
the server's saslHost, you'll see:
javax.naming.AuthenticationException : [LDAP: error code 49 -
DIGEST-MD5: digest response format violation. Mismatched URI:
ldap/localhost; expecting: ldap/ldap.example.com]

A compromise here might be to only put RootDSE attributes in the DIT,
for now, since they are already only hard-coded config in
DefaultPartitionNexus, ie not in the Spring XML. Then Spring XML
would be used to override the "supported" mechanisms with the
Spring-configured "allowed" mechanisms, so admins can still disable
weak mechanisms if, for example, they are an all-GSSAPI (Kerberos)
