$100 Down Payment Incentive – Available to Owner Occupant Buyers using FHA financing
$100 down payment option is available for owner occupant buyers only.
As a first-time buyer, you have a lot of questions. There is terminology you might not understand. And there are expenses you need to anticipate. Here are some explanations of just that, to help you on your way to homeownership.
First, what costs should you expect? After you have become "pre-approved" for a mortgage, you will know how much you can spend(your budget).Being pre-approved can quicken the time it takes to close, as well as give you an advantage over buyers who are not pre-approved, should a home be one of those once a year or even life time opportunities. Mortgage Rates are still low combined with a lower foreclosure rate and declined values educated and well represented Buyers can still have leverage in this current market.
Next, figure out how much money you'll need to put down(if any). Are you planning on looking into a 100% Loan? Or are you looking at an FHA Loan with 3.5% down? Perhaps you are interested in one of those $100 Down FHA loans you see advertised on HUD Homes?
What is Earnest Money? Most offers are accompanied by a check. This check is generally referred to as the "earnest money deposit." The basic reason for the deposit is to impress the seller that the buyer "earnestly" intends to purchase the property.The amount of the deposit varies from purchase to purchase, depending on a variety of factors. The biggest difference is the type of property and who the seller is. Are they a Bank? Is this a HUD Owned property? Or is this Susie seller from down the street? Average earnest money in Northwest GA in Current market conditions is $500-$1000.
Can Earnest Money be a gift? Yes. You will want to check with Cynthia or your lender before asking a relative or close friend. Transactions must be properly documented.
What are closing cost? Closing costs are what are paid= at closing. You should expect to pay for an appraisal, title services, title insurance, transfer taxes, inspections, loan origination, private mortgage insurance, and homeowners insurance, among a host of other charges. The average closing costs range from 3 -5% . This figure depends primarily on the loan size. You can of course negotiate with the SELLER who is going to pay closing and how much they are contribute. It is common still in this market to see sellers paying at least a percentage of closing cost.
Can I include repairs into my home loan? Yes. The most common case is often found in the 203b $100 Down FHA with escrow repair an incentive for buyers purchasing HUD Owned Properties in Georgia.
What are property taxes? Property taxes are paid each year to your local government at the county level. Some areas of the country charge much higher taxes than others, and the price is a percentage of the value of your property. That means that more the house is worth (according to the county), the more expensive the taxes.

Piracy Is Over Like The Web Is Dead
from the The-Fat-Lady's-A-Mute dept
Attention everyone. If I could have all of your eyes looking forward please, I have an announcement to make: the pirating of music on the internet has officially ended. So says Wired's Paul Boutin:
"Mark down the date: The age of stealing music via the Internet is officially over. It's time for everybody to go legit. The reason: We won. And all you audiophiles and copyfighters, you know who fixed our problems? The record labels and online stores we loved to hate."
That's quite a whopper, isn't it? Particularly from the same esteemed publication that brought you the news that the web is dead. You'd have to imagine there would be something pretty substantial in his article to make the claim that the record labels had somehow fixed things so that online infringement no longer should exist, right? Sadly, not so much. He starts off by listing out a couple of the problems most folks had with things like DRM, transferring legit purchases to multiple devices, etc. Then he tells us all why everything is okay now (and for a fun little game, see if you can spot the demeaning slight he sneaks in on music fans):
"Well played, protesters: In January 2009, Apple announced that it would remove the copyright protection wrapper from every song in its store. Today, Amazon and Walmart both sell music encoded as MP3s, which don't even have hooks for copyright-protection locks. The battle is over, comrades."
So...because, after years of fighting, iTunes finally stood up and removed the DRM, followed by a few retailers, we're supposed to look to the record labels as our saviors? For not treating us like criminals? And while they're still pushing for new laws and demanding money from ISPs (that will come out of consumers pockets anyway)? That doesn't really pass the smell test. Paul then goes on to declare the joy audiophiles should feel now that MP3s are being sold with 256 Kbps audio quality, compared to the initial 128 Kbps offering, stating that if anyone wants quality better than that, "you can get a pretty good turntable for around $500" and go spin vinyl. Oh, and he wants to make sure you know that if you steal vinyl records, that's called shoplifting. Mmkay. What else you got, Paul?
"That leaves one last war cry: Music should be free! It's art! Friends, a song costs a dollar...Most download retailers send about 70 percent of each sale to the record companies that own the music. Artists with 15 percent royalty deals get 15 percent of that 70 percent, or about 10.5 cents per dollar of sales. Those who write their own music and own their own music publishing companies—an increasingly common arrangement—get another 9.1 cents in "mechanical royalties." Every download sends almost 20 cents straight to the band."
Yup, you read that right. This, of course, is pure nonsense. That isn't the way royalties with modern day recording contracts work. Through the magic of recording label accounting, the average musician makes roughly $23 for every $1000 in music sold -- and that's only if they actually recoup, which is difficult to do, thanks to the way the record labels account for things. For those of you who share my math skills and don't want to reach for a calculator, that's barely 2%. Some of that result stems from necessary things the bands may need to spend on: managers, lawyers, taxes. But a good deal of it also comes from neat little, and sometimes recoupable, charges from the record label, things like independent radio promotion, tour support, roughly fifty percent of the music video costs, etc. Other times, the record labels flatout don't pay the royalties from truly successful albums. Bottom line is, at the end of the day, record labels make money off of selling music, musicians do not.
And, even if we go with Paul's bogus number of 20 cents on the dollar, is that really that good of a deal? A musician today can use a service like Bandcamp, and get 85% of whatever money they bring in -- and can do so in more creative ways with pay what you want offerings, that can actually bring in much more money. The idea the "record labels" have solved "piracy" by offering musicians 20 cents that they'll never get because they'll never recoup is laughable.
But Paul chooses to ignore those things and instead offers up a pithy conclusion as to why music is still being pirated:
"You're cheap."
Uh huh. Nuanced arguments would probably be more appreciated from the group of folks you're talking to, who actually spend more money on music than those who do not "pirate". Funny definition of cheap you're working from...
In the end, there are many reasons why people still file share (and they are still file sharing in droves, which sort of debunks Paul's entire premise), but you don't learn any of that from Paul's article. Since when did Wired switch from thought-provoking analysis to pure trollbait?

Whether Life Here or Life There, Life is Short.
Long time, no blog. I'm lurking indoors today, taking a break from the abundant northwest-summer sun and re-hydrating. Lots and lots has happened over the past couple of weeks. Let's see what we can cover here before the wonderful weather becomes too much of a temptation...
The Long $1,000,000,000 Kiss Goodnight: now come on, how can you have to put aside $1,000,000,000 to cover faulty Xbox 360s and not go and hold President Bach or VP Moore or VP Allard accountable and fire them? Let's go back in time to November 2005 and a comment I made then about what I called the Ring of Fire showing up on the initial 360s:
First, XBox sucked up one billion dollars from our company and broke that division's wallet. Now is 360 going to break our heart, too?
I can only have faith that this is one place where Microsoft will endeavor for quick turn-around to get replacement units out, no questions asked. With a kiss... give the folks having to exchange their XBox a bunch of Live Points. And I hope this is just a small percent of units. One poll had 14% of people responding that they had a 360 brick shortly after playing it for a while. Oy!
Let's see, over nineteen months later we fess up and - although it seems forced - we do the right thing and cover warranties for our customers. In the meantime, a lot of customers with broken boxes have been jerked around (including Microsofties, complaining internally about how awful it is to try to get their 360 repaired). Look, either at ship time we knew about this problem and decided to ship or we didn't know about this problem and kept shipping once it showed up. Either way, it's a screw-up in knowing and going forward or not doing enough to know about the quality of the box. Deming weeps.
And now we're putting aside a billion, bringing up the bitter memory of the billion point five we deferred because Vista was so late to ship that it missed back-to-school and the holidays so we had to cover with Vista upgrade coupons. It is only because of the abundance of cash left over from the successful cash cow days that we're able to screw up like this, dig into our deep pockets, drop the money on the floor, shrug our shoulders and shuffle on. We're lazy and we're lax and no one is being taken to the public woodshed for this, and I would be surprised as hell if anyone on the Board of Directors, or the shareholders meeting, actually spoke up and said, "Hey, um, excuse me, but, this Xbox business thing seems to be a black-hole money pit. Is it wise to continue investing here? How about spinning them off so that they had to survive on their own decision making?"
The only thing I've seen the Xbox business accomplish, besides making a lot of money disappear, is make Sony dash themselves against the rocks with the PS3. Monkey-see, monkey-do even better. In the meantime, the Nintendo little piggy gleefully exclaims, "Wii! Wii! Wii!" all the way to the bank.
Additional new orifice ripping: MSFTextrememakeover What's another $1B among friends. An interesting thought coming out of that is people wondering about Mr. Bach's loving indulgence in selling MSFT stock is his bailing out while he could and if there are any concerns about the SEC investigating here.
Life and Work Changes: some goodbyes I noticed recently:
Josh Ledgard (of the power couple Josh & Gretchen): Today is my last day at Microsoft.
Adam Herscher: Why big company life didn't cut it - snippet:
So, with that, there were only two things I couldn't get at Microsoft (and probably not at any other large corporation) that helped lead to my decision to leave:
- Any semblance of something like a work hard-play hard culture
- The ability to take big risks and reap big rewards
[...] allow me to propose one potential solution. I would love to see a large company like Microsoft give employees some sort of equity in the products they work on, in addition to company stock, thereby providing a risk/reward system in which one's work can have a direct impact on their stake in equity.
Adam's comment aligns with my belief that Microsoft needs to be more focused on team rewards and less focused on individual non-team aligned achievements that is coupled with demoralizing bucketing and 10% witch-hunts. My friend from a large technology company showed me some old internal memos that detailed (a) what the group's goals were for the coming year, (b) a progress update on those goals, and (c) what the bonus payout to everyone would be based on achieving those goals. Nice.
Life at Google: Adam's post links to an email circulating inside of Microsoft that reflects on working at Google. Eh, I wanted to read about the review and compensation system and how the Googlers felt about it, fairness-wise. No such luck, but probably right now Life at Google is so much wild fun that the review and compensation system is minor. Everything else in that post sounds like stuff we already knew or suspected. I think we have to live with the fact that Google culture is - and will remain - different than Microsoft culture. We're too big and systematic to go and try to retrofit a Google work-environment across Microsoft, no matter how alluring it might be. I think our only choice would be to break-up into four smaller companies and then reboot and rewire the culture in each to meet the demands and responsibilities for the new company. For instance, an Office culture has to be different (probably quite stodgy) than an online / Windows Live culture. The imposition of a mono-culture right now is slowing us down.
The comments in that post would make for an interesting short essay: Google lovers, Microsofties demanding blood, bemused outsiders, and the occasional interesting insight. Oh, and this one from Andrew Gamache, out hiring the best engineers:
So now it's clear there's no career development at Google; and little at Microsoft… If you're at either one, it's time to take your future more seriousely than they do. [...] PS- The OS engineer behind XBox, and several of the guys on the original Google Earth Team are happy clients of mine- some makeing over 700K in salary a year– NO options or stock. Cash. Every year. at 28 Years old.
485 comments and trackbacks to this point. Wowza. I can tell you, given the desire to understand how Google works, a Mini-Google blogger would get lots and lots of attention right now. Or an insider could wrap it in a parody with a Fake Sergey / Fake Larry / Fake Eric blog. Those certainly seem to be all the rage nowadays. As evidence, we don't have just one Fake SteveB, we have 2.0!
Life is Short: there's lot more to talk about today, but I've decided to go out and enjoy the rest of the beautiful day, so let me close with the below comment that came in on July 3rd that I'm exceptionally grateful for the commenter taking time to share:
Today is approximately my one year anniversary of leaving MSFT after 11 years. I was a Level 67 woman, banging my head against the wall (or more like glass ceiling) trying to make "partner" and killing myself & my marriage in the process.
I now work for a hard-working start-up in Seattle (30+ people and growing) and couldn't be happier. While not every day is perfect, it's refreshing to read this blog and realize what a different world I am in now:
- The people I work with are really smart(a number of our employees are of ex-MSFTies with more joining every week), motivated to do their jobs, and treat each other with dignity & respect.
- Our Executive Management is mentally/emotionally mature, grounded in reality of business, value work-life balance, and treat the employees with honesty and respect. (see a theme here?)
- Decisions are made quickly and executed rapidly. No grand-standing, land-grabbing, ego-boatsing, political posturing, etc. We're all pulling towards a common goal.
- We are accountable to our deliverables, our professional behavoir, and each other. I no longer have to tolerate actions and communications from peers who hide their own incompetency behind obnoxious management styles or the protective shield of HR.
- I recognize that when I work really hard (and I do, every day), it directly contributes to my company's success, and therefore my own.
- Tomorrow is a holiday. I don't expect there will be much email across the team (except maybe a little from us ex-MSFTies...old habits die hard) that will be waiting for me on Thursday. I don't feel the need to have to spend a day off "catching up."
Net net - if you're spending alot of time reading this blog and have been thinking about leaving, then do it. You don't have to tolerate the working environment you're in, or feel vitimized by the realities & circumstance beyond the majority of your control. There are more feasible alternatives out there. Yes, there is some risk - and less freebies - but life is short and do you want to spend it feeling trapped, frustrated, and ultimately used?
Do what you like. Like what you do. Truly. If you're working in that kind of environment and are looking to hire talented Microsofties ready to grow and shrug off the bureaucratic systems all-around them (ever so much in evidence during this review season... oy, that review tool), a short comment here about why your company is so different and groovy would be welcome.
Because if we Microsofties can't change Microsoft to be that way, then we should at least know where's a good place to move to.

Pictures of Kristen Stewart With Rob's Dog Bear
Kristen Stewart Lands Her Prince and Takes Robert Pattinson's Dog Bear Out in NYC
Kristen Stewart stepped out of the Bowery Hotel in NYC this afternoon. She was carrying a few bags and holding a leash on Robert Pattinson's rescue dog, Bear. Rob adopted the pup earlier this year and it looks like Kristen is taking care of the new pet while her boyfriend is overseas promoting Water For Elephants. Kristen was there to support her man for the big Manhattan premiere of the movie, though she hasn't joined him on any of the international stops. She was busy herself with Monday night's star-studded Met Gala, where she wore a Proenza Schouler gown and was among the sexiest ladies of the night. When the couple are reunited, they'll have plenty to celebrate including the success of Rob's drama and their recent MTV Movie Award nominations. Next up for Kristen will be a starring role in Snow White And The Huntsman, and she's apparently now set to star alongside another English actor, Sam Claflin, who will play her prince.

English as a Second Language (ESL) writing is complex because it involves both a language acquisition process and a composing process (Matsuda, 2003). In order to guide ESL students to grow as writers and readers, it is essential that instructors and Writing Center tutors have a deeper knowledge about how to assist ESL writers in their second language acquisition process.
The very notion of "editing" should be revisited when it comes to working with ESL students because their request for "editing" can be turned into an "educating" opportunity.The educating moment begins when the instructor or the tutor promotes a deeper level of processing words by guiding ESL students to realize the fundamental interdependence between lexis (vocabulary) and grammar. That is, an "editing" process can be turned into an "educating" process when the instructor or the Writing Center tutor promotes a deeper level of understanding by guiding students to learn how semantically similar words have different syntactic and pragmatic usages.
Research highlights that it is not appropriate to divide a language into grammar and vocabulary (Folse, 2004; Nation, 2009). Some aspects of language that have been dealt with under grammar in the area of second language acquisition are actually lexical in nature (Sonaiya, 1991). Language is a grammaticalized lexis not lexicalized grammar (Lewis, 1993). Most ESL student errors are actually lexical, and [a] great many tangles in syntax are a result of circumlocutions—vocabulary problems, not grammar problems" (Myers, 2003, p. 58).
Let's take a look at the following examples:
Perhaps many instructors and tutors have seen these errors in their ESL students' papers. When they see the expression "consist with", instead of simply correcting the preposition "with" to "of", the instructor or the tutor should guide the student to learn the usage of the very word "consist" by comparing its syntactic and pragmatic differences with the words that that have the similar meaning such as "comprise", "compose", and "make up". As we guide students to learn the collocational partnerships of the word, they can develop a deeper level of processing words. As the word parts "co" and "location" suggest, a collocation is a word or phrase that is frequently used near the target word. As they learn the collocational partnerships of the word, they are less likely to make the same errors in the future.
Based on my experience of learning English as a foreign language and teaching ESL writing courses for over 15 years, a very useful resource that can help students understand the collocational partnerships of words is the encoding dictionary. It is a monolingual dictionary, but it is not a typical dictionary. As the name "encoding" suggests, in the encoding dictionary, words are systematically grouped together by meaning not by alphabetical order. It presents how semantically similar words have different syntactic and pragmatic usages. The most common encoding dictionary available on the market is theLongman Language Activator: the World's First Production Dictionary. Here is an example of the entry "consist of/be made of" (Hyperlink) from the dictionary theLongman Language Activator: the World's First Production Dictionary.
The encoding dictionary can promote a deeper level of processing words and can help learners increase their knowledge of collocational partnerships more effectively by comparing differences in word usages based on the specific examples. As the title of this dictionary suggests, it can help learners develop receptive (reading) vocabulary into productive (writing) vocabulary. It is crucial for the learner's literacy development that vocabulary is learned not only receptively but also productively (Nation, 2008).
Another practical strategy that can help an "editing" process turn into an "educating" process is to ask students to identify the patterns of errors in their papers, correct them, and document them in their error logs. Many ESL students may feel quite embarrassed about grammatical mistakes in their writing and want to clean up all the errors that their instructors or Writing Center tutors pointed out. They correct simpleerrors, such as awkward sentence construction or word choices, and then they put away their paper. They do not want to show the mistakes to other people. However, students may make the same mistakes over and over again if they just put away their paper after inserting other people's feedback. Often, students do not even realize that they make the same mistake over and over. If they are not aware of the problem, they won't be able to fix it. Keeping a log of feedback from other people and frequent mistakes or weaknesses can help draw their attention to the areas where they need to improve. As they reflect on the errors they tend to make based on the feedback they receive from the other people (instructors, Writing Center tutors, classmates, librarians, etc.), they can become more aware of their strengths and weaknesses as a thinker, reader, and writer.

I ... first thought was thank you all for ... getting up early this morning and and showing up here for this event ... we've been doing these Viewpoints ... practice in New York for several years for five years ... five years in New York up ... and we've done a ... series of them in Palo Alto as well and we thought it would be a good idea to try one in sentences go so well here ... and we're glad your here that would be much point otherwise ... um ... and I'm I'm going to give the first words ... to our wonderful sponsors to make ... this all possible ... John one strip of BCG ... be morning thank you all for coming embassy that were relieved to see that despite the onslaught of debates in this election ... cycle to ... drop folks don't bet on the ... early morning ... for moderator and a luminary ... in fiery dialogue ... opt ... in this case actually ... our destination to new ... highs ... Ryan will not have ... a ... aggressive opponent sitting across from the fact ... that we talked about the prospects of maybe having an empty chair ... Clint Eastwood saw ... Kraft adorned with a single Apple ... we decided to fight ... against ... the idea that something that's pretty funny of Byron Bay in his career ... that they'll be sufficient sparks between now ... and so ... discussion ... up ... Chilton is on the broader U S audience they were really BCO here today welcome ... this is the last two point seven ... two thousand well sites even in ... whatever year it used to buy West Coast that John Chambers ... made an ... offer its net ... and in all markets calendars for January seventeen for the next hot Viewpoints West ... I which will be at sharon Golf and country Club ... I will feature job one who is the former chancellor of New York City schools currently are senior leader of ... his corpse efforts in the education space amplify ... up ... the CDS fraud underwriter ... she was last in work work ... is ... your day ... are under ... his leadership ... Adobe has ... really shake things up or go ... and the digital economy ... upbeat about the comic ends ... while ... Shaw will ... create ... all of ... which are really amazing ... portfolio of businesses it acknowledges some ... of these ... days ... often is forecast was for billion in revenue and ... all ... caps as billion ... always on U S on Nov workouts with ... start-ups and ASB's ... iTunes ... I'm you know I would say it many times these companies have my doubts ... as to what you know the ones that a new series ... yes you ... I'll ... thank you very much into the new thank you for being here ... were to get Adobe in a minute but the first question I wanted ask you was ... nice to ... get a sense of the man ... did you what's the debate last night where did you what's the day ... more of the game ... A to send the blog and twenty percent of the debate but ... the rebel force in the political fight ... well you know I a aam some on the presidential Management Advisory Board and so ... I am I have been supporting the press ... you're also in Iran ... yes ... the fan disciple is that it's wrong to say disciple ... the cyclists too strong but they are growing up I you know I wish Robin Fountainhead demand from the mold that was the no ... stable reading growing up in India ... to what what appealed to you about this book ... I just the color of the individual ... and the power of the individual ... and ... the Billy frankly that if you set your mind to something that great things can happen ... so talk ... talk a little bit as I said will get to Adobe but talk a little bit first about what it was like growing up in India are you really didn't come to the United States and the removal ... that's right um ... why was very fortunate to know I'd I'd woken up what was probably considered improved his family my father up ... actually studied in the States um and her back and win back my mother was a ... professor of America needed to turn my brother ... is also in the states and so you know I I think though ... focus on education was always something that was driven to me ... um ... and Dom you know just in the belief that now ... I it was a great place I when you are really small of high school ... of which was up there are very very fortunate to build their a grade education ... I did my undergrad in electrical engineering there and then ... like know most people in that there are ... some of the bowl whisk Youngman was up ... you know something that everybody did ... which Allen and it's amazing if you think about it if and when my graduating lost ... sixty percent of them are in the U S sixty to seventy percent ... my brother was three years my senior I would say ninety percent of his graduating class ... is in the US ... and did it by a vote ten percent of the graduating class comes to the US and allies the U S citizen ... you almost feel I we we need to again find our way ... to make sure that we are ... attracting ... new people from all around the world but you know it was a was great growing up in India and it's even better being in the Bay area those are some the numbers I mean obviously it an enormous number of engineers but when engineering your mother was teaching literature what got you into engineer ... I'm so upset the story before actually wanted to be a journalist ... it is today ... non serious III added to the school magazine I edited my college magazine that I was on ... Up TV doing TV common theme that is growing up in India in unity needed some other ... odd jobs and so you know the only way to make money was to do TV comedy but ... on ... yourself although it does so that your father's footsteps of those businesses my dad was an engineer was supposed to be an engineer ... my team hates it because ... everytime we do will press for his own everytime were doing our earnings calls every time anybody write anything at Adobe ... op my mother is ... a set of ... training comes back and I'm correcting their ground are are you know using a different was ... in ages writes the maps and in August by him so that some part of that that still in me ... and help vicariously I would say ... when the communication business write to you know I'm I'm back to you and I belong here very much in the middle of journalism and will talk about that in a minute but ... those numbers you cited of of your graduate in engineering class coming to the U S stock I think we all know that ... in engineering computer science is there a lot of folks from India who have come over here ... but the other interesting thing I think was Time magazine said the euro so ago that ... that of India's most important export to the United States was managers ... I mean you have of awful lot of people in CEO jobs of what you think of and or do you think of someone like a ... bunch of Jane ... the Georgia bank or ... Ajay Banga include of MasterCard ... why think that is ... what we mean you know both the discipline associated with engineering was certainly very strong but I think the entrepreneur in with twenty oh one and a billion people ... I mean you know how to be a little bit more resourceful you know if you wanna get along so ... but I think the ... management ... discipline was also in the cage and amino companies like the voters ... are you know in the Sunday voters and caucus will always consider caps and B grade companies to some of ... Shinya skills so I feel and ... the menu and when a people right I mean you hopefully you inspired to do one ... of the wrath of God doesn't aam the isthe was so good to have someone in your mind as you ... move though ... moved up the ladder ... well I mean in business the bar sometime probably in mind the most was ... Deal By Amani and for those who don't know is a stage ... the ideal by Omar need you know created Reliance which ... is the largest ... in ... market cap in hand and that's a single generation much like I guess them what to ... it did in the US and so you know there were many of role models ... I'm that that there been lately there been a couple of high profile ... scandals may be too strong a word of the crime and ... without that Citigroup scandal is the right word for word for Gold ... Loses extraordinarily ... respected ... head of McKinsey and company ... who got caught up in this insider trading scandal ... have any significant ... I'm not reading anything into it ... so so let's go too well ... let's let's go to Adobe ... as John said ... I think everybody here we all come into contact with Adobe and one way or another virtually every day of our lives ... and things like ... Acrobat and Aaron Photoshop and flash in the Prague The digital products they create we interact with everyday ... I'm not sure people fully realize ... the degree to which you would transform the company just over the last couple years can you talk a little bit about the transfer much ... sure I'm happy to audio menu is the vision action as a company is still the same ... now ... we want to change the loco digital experiences and we always talk about the fact that ... the application again looking on your mobile device of the video that you are ... experiencing that remain ... on your tablet or a website that you Bordeaux newspapers and magazines ... with probably touched by a piece of Adobe software and ... the domain traditionally focused ... as you know Alan ... just on the desktop me we created the was best applications ... and about three years ago we started out to embark on the strategy to say ... we wanna be part of the and I am on and life cycle so creating the convent managing that Conte and ... mobilizing the convent in helping people wanted guys that content ... we just thought that was an opportunity that doubt there was a once in a lifetime opportunity and soul ... both organic innovation and up ... we think some grade acquisitions though I'm sure the biggest on the show was awesome to be one of the largest out you know we acquired a company called the software that enables people ... to do content management efficient twenty oh ... that enables you to spend your online marketing spend ... and then organic TV created things like that Creative Cloud ... and Adobe social site in putting it to them as being a really remarkable time crossing isn't working ... wheezing so I you know we are we restarted the new so I began ... we have to enlarge initiatives of the company ... we want to re imagine created ... on the modified and that's been created ... it's actually explored in any way you look at it with its Web content or applications ... and through the Creative Cloud the witches on new offering ... when not only changing how content is created ... across mobile and PCs and the Web ... but we're also la changing how we charge for ... which is a big change in all ... we are moving to a subscription based model of people been so to pay as you go ... on and so that's one big initiative that creative now ... and the other one is the marketing closet says ... every business is moving online every business wants to spend digital every business wants to understand exactly ... how to get closer to their customers ... and providing technology for that CIA mole ... there isn't a single of a company that started in the CIA mole as much as Adobe we ... you know we we target them in terms of everything they wanted to and buying this ... content together that's really awesome that's the new I mean that's ... Adobe is the first you when you talk about creating content Adobe may be the first thing comes to mind when you talk about the marketing services Adobe is for me to my lot of people ... trying ... to get that ... I would say with the largest of the world to be the largest net nanny living in or some statistics say you know every toss about big data right now the data some of the vase ... on ... you know we I think this oval four hundred million campaign assets that goes with some piece of Adobe ... of the measures six trillion transactions ... are your income so what's happening on websites and mobile ... aam you know we have had a bite set which is an order of magnitude more trendy ... hospital buys off video and other streaming so ... I and and if you're willing to an app store in your downloading a magazine or of capital over a piece of training material ... chances are that's all Adobe and so you're right we have these iconic brands ... on the desktop that are second to none ... but you know it's a little like BASF we also made all of that on and that you are ... receiving better because it's all the dove ... soap so it is I'm starting a new business from scratch ... this sounds like a dream right I can go to Adobe and they can help you create the time to deliver the content across multiple platforms that ... measure measure monitor the effectiveness of contrast ... content to cuddle him on Isaac on ... trial in one place ... but you know I think about our own company ... it's a will ... to succeed at that you've got to ... convert a whole bunch of different songs ... the good of the editorial people someone unusual that's easy with ... it you know you're in the content creation business but then you gotta convert the people who are doing the metrics and you've got to convert the people who were ... you know the chief revenue officer that's gotta be a challenge for you ... this to to ... to get enterprises to buy on to the whole package of cross eyed ... I would say it's a welcome progress book for us as well as for our customers the value proposition of being able to go to a chief revenue officer at the top ... of the company like yours and say what you like to dig the separate silos full trend and we add an ... app stores and video and made that one unified experience ... that absolutely resonates when we talk about ... the transition that everybody's going to with respect to business models and understanding ... you know how to Mana ties that content that's absolute viewed as an aching and I think both our opportunity is how do we integrate this to all customers I e living in a couple of its Office Fairfax Media one of the largest of publishers in Australia ... use Adobe for everything we can do with Frank ... they came to us they said we have all these websites ... we like ilk on tend to be the focus on the websites ... now that it's on the website how do we get it out on the Amazon store on the I O s store or who can play ... well we can do that for you ... how do we measure all of that I read the news so don't Adobe is really now the company that ... helps you create your product and a good deal of those adults who app stores and create a website and video ... the deal is ... still exploring for us as a business when you are talking about that for ... oven for us is well write ... yes and and ... you know we should talk about this a little bit because it really gets it one of the pain points in the media business I think we titled this up this morning and Adobe save ... the the media ... media business and one of the things we see from our side of that is up ... you know people use to talk about what one would print goes away and you've seen a couple of spectacular new examples of ... in the last few weeks of newspapers and were shutting down ... shutting down several days we come rolling into digital ... and what what the was what one train goes away just think of all the costs to say you don't have a printing plant you don't have to ... offer newspapers don't have to have delivery trucks driving all over the place in the middle one might think of all the reduction in costs ... but what we've actually discovered on the other side of that is the incredible ... technology ... costing complications ... because you have to produce for the wealthy have to produce for Apple I alas you have to produce for Android ... and Micra soft comes along and want you to do something special for them ... and so Scott incredibly complicated for media companies to simply delivered their prime ... can you fix ... we think so we're we're in a hard look at it you know ... as soon as I did the batting and back to work and I an odd continue the ... but yes we don't think I mean ... up ... without getting too much into the products in design is you know Judy ... of what's being used for all of these newspapers we allow all of that are going out to be stored in ... content and get refocused Leo website and so if you are ... the New York are and you're trying to get ... New Yorker on uptrend as well as don't voted on the I pad ... that sold all one seemed a step ... if you want to create your website New Yorker dark on that's another seen this happen so ... I think you have to also Rethink Publishing ... um you know but I'd I would ... say the opportunity is ... given have millions of more ... subscribers ... the good of the consuming a lot more content than they ever did before ... you can target them better and bus lines the expedient so you can make their ... content that they get far more relevant than ever before ... and so it's a transition but ... I think it's also showed opportunity ... can you talk a little bit about ... mobile phones because in some ways that's the most extraordinary thing that's going on right now that we all are carrying around these incredibly powerful ... computers Andarko pocket right I'm using them and in so many ... different ways and the use the adoption seems to be rising every number ... every time I will regret that looks like hockey stick ... up growth ... and getting a Gmina is a challenge for a lot of people to town for media companies to challenge we've we've seen the Proms that Facebook had that ... what is the rapid ... growth of smartphones ... doing to your business and to the needy ... when I mean you need in position and that um because we have measurement Dunckel you know the foam are all mature acquisition ... we actually have tremendous insight ... into what's happening and ... I think one interesting statistic is that the ... amount of Off ... application usage of mobile ... has actually exceeded the amount of the Web usage on mobile ... so it's clear that simple small apps that people are using ... is the way in which people want to interact with that gone and then I think part of that has to do with the fact that ... you set it up exactly the way you want a minute in this back on it ... um ... in terms of the amount of kind people the spending on mobile devices that so the explored ... and you know I think is the short bus if information has stayed ... constant ... um that that is ... Miss Kitty in India and although the contents being streamed through Adobe so much that the short burst of information is in some ways the talent right because ... advertisers one engagement media companies one day we don't want a short burst of your attention we'd like a little more prolonged usage or that possible ... can you do that on the smartphone ... what a video I think is one area where you can totally do that ... Tracy smartphone video growing rapidly we know I'd get another example of why he asked me the question about baseball America the more awful cricket ... and ... you know ... if you ... look at what's happening with ESPN today ... um you know we have I think something like ninety percent of all U S households ... which are running this thing called the bill be passed so you can ... authenticate yourself once saying ... which cable or provide AEO part off ... and you can actually own four G networks ... watch a game in record time wherever you are now that is in it like that is absolutely unique ... it is extraordinary ... John made a reference to your ... almost legendary Iranian was Steve Jobs ... aam a couple years ago ... the late Steve Jobs ... when he wrote this extraordinary seventeen hundred words long post attacking one of your product impacted flash ... I spent a lot of my ... life my career ... studying business reading this is books read about the history of business ... a hard time thinking of any other case where its CEO came out and did that kind of frontal attack ... on a competitor's ... product ... this extraordinary ... um ... did I happen to be a Sandoz aid that one day it happened and we haven't caught conversation about at the time but as I've reflected on it says that ... never quite seen anything like that ... how do you explain ... but this debate season I guess one of the things I can say is here we go again right ... I ... this year over to the head ... of the ... well I mean I I think first it's history ... right now and I think it had to do with its business model is associated with Appstore revenue but ... the reality is we moved on Apple's moved on the lot of videos with their collaborating ... and you know it was an extraordinary time in business when there was ... a significant amount of ... attention being paid to how can we get dominance right on mobile devices and I think they executed ... really well on on the devices that they've produced they wanted to have up ... of system that was control and ... you know we've been ... innovating around HTML Regis recently had created the web is an alum ... and Adobe is always been about being agnostic with respect to technology and so we will beloved technology in any format on ... how did that play had that affect your business I mean basically what the jobs that would say that flash will we did not support flash on the browser on that Apple ... and and subsequently you've moved away from slash and into the direction that the Fed have a significant impact on the direction of Adobe's Adobe of different company today because of that run ins with Steve Jobs but no visible where since its inception been about heterogeneous environments when you think about PDF media from across multiple platforms when you think about postscript ... postscript and printing was all about different princess so ... we have always in our DNA believe and multiple annoyances and frankly the proliferation of mobile that you talk about between Android and Iowa as an Amazon and in the Microsoft Surface ... actively pistol Aastrom sono it did not change ... you know our focus ... up and we are embracing its TMO in delivering the greatest BMO ... we talk about things like ... creating apps for mobile devices ... phone gap which is a technology that we have we have millions of downloads will fall gap is well and so so it didn't change the direction of the the ... you would have moved away from flash and one ... are ... we focus on making sure that ... whatever content ... interactive content people on the we would provide the best experience of cross market with devices ... technology is always a means to that and ... and in that sense if you take it from a long-term perspective ... Adobe still in the same business that we were before ... and how do you think there's always a lot of talk about the four or five times depending on how you choose to ... choose to define it up ... Apple who will ... Facebook was social Amazon with commerce and others the company opened the north and northwest Microsoft ... um ... which at one point ... you dive into some pretty serious ... conversations with but how do you think about that battle between those Titans ... um and and how Adobe should fit into that ... well the lead as the wheat it to all of this honestly is the men's off what people are doing on ... on these devices right ... and as long as there's choice for consumers ... people are consuming more entertainment on all of these devices people are ... doing more color on each one of these devices people actually consuming more digital content on all of these devices and so ... you know before us it's not about ... up what's happening in those fights platforms in terms of competition it's about opportunity led making sure ... when will people want in on those devices ... we've been a role in making that happen ... aam ... traces of the subject a little bit but ... could Adobe have happened any place ... other than ... Silicon Valley and what isn't about Silicon Valley that ... allows them to obey ... you know I I I think people have tried to ... crack that corn for ... viewers I just think is the combination off ... greed universities and you know access to ... tremendous capital ... but it you know the thing that soul Risto doubtful me honestly he is ... the inability to de risk ... and not have any stigma ... associated with taking risk and I think that makes the Valley ... to such a unique twist on Aditya my son was a senior in ... college ... this um what he was actually looking on the stock ... and you know he's twenty one years old and that the euro the business plan you don't funded by ... our new venture capitalists in this valley ... an IPO and the end of the semester though every evening we have conversations about see Finance saying and ... you know business model is an angel funding ... with roots in the world ... do have that kind of a confluence of you know just incredible talent and an incredible opportunity so ... I don't think you know I think that's what makes the Valley such an incredible quiz ... I know ... in the east and outside the U S people are trying to replicated and I just think of them has reinvented itself the scenes from home on ... the just released its yield see it happening in other places ... the same degree I don't ... I don't I been although Mrs whoops OTC more innovation ... having the something you know the magical about the Walker in this way ... and ... I how to how much of Adobe's work is done ... here ... you know we have to really launch facilities in San Jose and San Francisco Leo Macromedia was based in San Francisco ... and so you know we have over three thousand thirty percent or so ... no we are getting more into graphic The disbursed as we get closer to our customers ... don't talk much about digital marketing of the business for us to know is ... is absolutely exploding in proximity to customers as those ... in the system are still wet ... we talked a minute ago about ... your competitors ... um ... who are here ... it's it seems like there lots of little competitors in different ... parts of the business ... but is anyone ... head on trying to do the the full suite of of media that you will ... I think it's fair to say that in digital media ... you know we continue to be ... the company with the broad US Brett Kendall A and ... the most comprehensive offering in with the creative Dodd ... Frank IAG's we think will bias the most innovative offering that some of the digital marketing I think is a different story so digital marketing would be deployed to as digital marketing is ... a market does challenges off ... creating an online presence getting those appeal customers acquired aim ... of this industrial site having a relationship ... aka I an appropriate he converting them into paying customers ... we started the needs of that's gonna be the next ... big video enterprise and we've been saying that for the for a couple of years right now with the need in that space ... but you can argue that that's going to be as big as ERP often and so HR ... in enterprises and that's going to attract ... in all the IBM's of the will of the Oracle is the enterprise business is very different kind of business write a mean is an enormous emphasis when you're talking about IBM and Oracle enormous emphasis on sales for Salesforce ... is Adobe prepared to ... to ... play with those giants in that space what if writing in the two in August compared to play with writing and that we intend to be the leader ... and if you think about the affinity ... that in all our market as have two was Adobe bets on how to write a mean ... because this is not ... this is not traditional ITT this is Iti with an expedient and I think that's where we place all you right we have to have ... the traditional up walking this up that will help us bring our solutions to market we have to have ... pricing and all spring and into the red bow to sales ... as ... it balances to put in perspective ... to seven hundred and fifty million goal of this was the last quarter grew forty percent NEW Italy under its competing cloud based computing cloud based and so ... now has the new Adobe ... when you say workers have an affinity for don't you mean because they can see your time to ... experience or ... because they cared about brand they can about the experience ... um they want to make sure that whatever contraction they have with that costume was is up ... in a top notch and I it's been great to be a fun so far team ... we've been writing for the first time the last three years and in the brand's top brand rankings and ... that the email fund astounding content in understanding experience ... is what's going in different It whiny little particular website white you go to Amazon buses another e-commerce site it's all over the about the experience and that's where we play a role ... seems like a minute ago about the things that make the Valley view me ... we talk about the country for men ... um ... this is ... your on one of the president's Advisory Board set the precedent ... of work to get growth in demand were to get elected and to call you opens OK what we need ... to ... to really get the American economy going how we build on its tracks ... what would you advise ... well let me give it a day agenda of which you know I I feel very passionately about ... on the first part of the tech agenda I mean city with made up ... of fans we we think we need pack and read ... we definitely think we need not be formed to continue to drive innovation and just country ... aam it's overwhelming right now what's happening there ... of reading repatriation ... thousand importance of this is the premise of this for second I mean there's an enormous amount of energy and time money ... going into these ... words that don't know ... can it can we get rid of that is the ... well I think there are multiple issues Allen the first one a soft wind farm off bubble you know in the same happened Baucus and I think they need to be separate because software is different from ... farm are right the farm on the entire compound is to pack ... up and long lead the league executive ... of the SE NE they need protection in the way software that ... that's exactly right ... and with respect to software ... up you know ... we really need the ability to ... protect inhibition but the ... signal to noise ratio right now and confidence ... is is often ... what what is that what what would you say the signal to noise ratio is ... reworking Benefactor Tampa factor hundred ... it's a mistake and it significant enough when something like Photoshop which is being around or ... you know as long as it has and has as much innovation for somebody to claim that does one idea ... in Photoshop that requires the antiapartheid pianos in and it's a it's just broken at least as well as the surrender legal bill ... the ... the the ... on the bad stuff too much ... gross orders of magnitude but some Indians and two million so I think I don't recall what that is a key part of ... the villainous I joined I'm one be off putting repatriation I mean I said Citi field in the tech industry we'll have a lot of money offshore we like to bring that back ... and I think having a competitive tax structure in this country ... these are the other countries this is something that some of the president the president looks assembles repatriation proposals season just as encouraging people to take jobs offshore ... but living in earnings on both you know ... you know when we are acquiring companies if it's a lot cheaper to acquire any well run company in ... outside the U S ... as irresponsible and a custodian of our company on the duvet ... and you know if you want ... we're in the U S had ... to encourage innovation we should have a tax structure that you know in in in the society pot of comprehensive tax reform ... that's an issue ... perhaps the most important one though ... is we have to continue to be the lead in attracting ... of people from all across the work of this country and that it is true of ... baby present company excluded ... immigrants have contribution to this country and it's going to be that significant impact and you know I think ... having that attractiveness and you know focus on science in education I think is critical to look into what is good though what is good though is I was mentioning this year ... video ... at Stanford this ... year ... computer science is now the number one undergrad degree ... so I'm you know I think when people talk about the fact that science in education is not as ... important it's great to see ... the we are investing in them I might counter that was the wonder what percentage of those computer science majors were born overseas ... you know I think for undergrad education and still predominant the aam you know us ... kids to get into its ranks ... but how do you explain that ... I mean if you if you look at I was selling something new the story of when my my younger daughter who ... was very good at math and was invited to this map of ... us wide math contests ... that had two hundred and fifty the top high school students in mathematics from Albany New York N Y University we with them with their showed up ... and I would say of the two hundred and fifty ... girls who were there there were probably only thirty of them were ... obviously of Asian descent ... what does that tell you ... of ... about ... this country isn't ... you know I get I'm bias this is the best country on Hong Kong the plan to start ... it doesn't matter it doesn't matter nobody started here except for a few I you know in a given year so ...

I'm Alan is yet one question where ... can you use your creative schools a new digital marketing schools ... to increase the premium for ... publishers please ... I ... I think you know it's it's about knowing your knowing your audience right and so ... if you're using our digital goes to create the best available content ... in Chile the Holy Grail ... is about making sure that if you know exactly a pool ... of ... you know ... is ... viewing the content ... you can monetize that more effectively to add to me I interface you ... did just a few business models on the web UI the ... chart something through subscriptions Oja jobs for men to ask ... if its ads you want to get the highest possible value which means you have to know Leo customers so ... a couple of things I would suggest ... the first is if you're in the publishing industry a new Nordics Adam ending with a lot of these different things ... on and the fear of the on going ... on is the worst possible strategy and you know I think you have to guide their ... the second thing I would say is that ... up and really focusing in in each one of these of experimenting with different business models ... is the way to go and I think allowing people to drop in allowing people to have a unified experience across ... multiple devices ... you know what we produce an Adobe digital index report which has some of the insights that we've done quite happy to share that with you ... but in the few things that we frankly none from ... pioneers of the on like Allen who are driving this new medium ... that we can fortify and make available is one of ... the advertising for it does sometimes feel like we're not really what we've been talking about what data ... due to drive down ... for a long time ... it doesn't feel if you look at the macro numbers it doesn't look like for making a lot of progress ... the dollar though the question I would I ask you is is your perspective on Asia combat isn't point trend ... and you know what is it what good is relative to current ... boys to come thousand point the fact that it started from zero ... and is exploding right ... and I think you know many times what I hear from publishes a study annoyed may not be what the traditional print media was but ... butchery everybody I'm talking to says it's up into the right ... that's right this is the can it get close to that the torture read up and so you have to find new so this is that you know continue to act on the TV video point by the way I mean I've worked in a building full ... of TV people I don't think they have any idea what's about to them I mean of the vision you way out of IP provided video means that ... that that it's the same issue we've been dealing with a friend for a long time anyone can be a publisher ... there was there to show called on the business is ... is gone and inevitably that's kind of mass with the business ... I can the story I give is when Photoshop came along right ... they will companies like one talent who look at it and said well I'm charging thousands of dollars ... for a new no image editing on proprietary systems ... and we said he believes that there was a much larger market but at a much lower price point and so ... they get out of the Export Inn in publishing but I think ... is the view point and the lens of companies like Flipboard probably look at it and say wow ... you know this business is exploding and it started from a Zito billion bolivars so on ... it is one of the ID connected it is ... you gotta fight ... the ... last question ... that was our question over and take two more questions of this ... Jeff Kunar Shoji partners ... you've been talking about content creation cross platform across devices in the last creations ... the health of the room ... to secure ... talk to ... chalk this up ... sure I mean security comes in multiple flavors um if one form of security and I'm not sure whether this is what euro falling to its content protection ... right and digital rights management I think is what's ... up ... your ... I ... she pricing with lower prices ... I'm at the store I ... began a year I get multiple facets to this on the content protection side ... I think there's a fair amount of technology that's available on ... the web probably one of the few companies that actually soften a lot from you know that so far softener but ... having said that ... I mean if they vote technologies that exists right now if you wanna make sure the corner and that given the ring ... cannot be by that especially if it's being streamed ... and video ... I think this pretty good technology I'd I think privacy you're right ... is the next of the front the owner of floss ... what you can do but I was trying to put myself in the cost in the shoes and saying ... I actually have no issue with Amazon ... sending me the right ... of ... all fours based on my experience and I think it would require ... people to be even more sophisticated about understanding customers in Kent and butchers ... are but ... I was of a strong belief that ... up ... if you want a whole bunch of free so this is in the internet has been good up on the service is ... the only two ways to pay for that either you know the subscriptions also advertising and so ... as long as ... people get up ... call on all of these free so this is that exist I'd I think companies would have to navigate ... the privacy the idea Adobe stating I think the leadership role ... we are so he made sure that all of the mountain that we ... collect is collected on behalf of customers we have audio send information that cost him was not a jot citing that if you are no rules ... about how you deal with crisis ... you mention piracy ... the problem that Adobe is ... in the past and things are in Asia particularly of the ripping off your software ... done with abandon guests up but the cloud is one way to deal with the right ... that's exactly right Allen and soul ... think about can export feature before the shop ... um you know I did this the magic of these people all looking on you can take a picture that was actually compete he fuzzy ... and they analyze the camera was more sure ... and based on that they can actually shop in the picture into being seen text ... you know that was not ... bright ... and so what we would do is increasingly all of those so ... that you know things would be a bit of that is to look outs of this ... Stanley through plunges ... into the mix of this can be ... duplicated cracking regret Sausalito this Creative Cloud and aam main office here ... we said that subscriptions at the last earnings call lie ahead of expectations ... and what we found was that we can innovate and a much faster pace so did you talk about small start-ups small start-ups probably said a weekend is produce a new product every few months and Adobe has to do with the revenue recognition and then ... in all of that and I'll ... be having these new versions of Photoshop and illustrator ... in weeks off to the available Apple comes out of the great Retina Display and we haven't us into Photoshop the books on it so you're right we think of the cloud ... over time ... would be a great when nobody talks about you know cloud service is being tried it and loved it ... either you use it or you don't and we we held on to beat Venus has the ... potential acting issue but none were on the scale of the rest of your ... last question ... no one's brave enough to get good thank you ... nanosecond for the microphone ... the latest in ... the session they are having a higher fee ... is it doing ... that year the Hollywood in a valley at the issues that are expected to ... settle in Italy viewpoints are on and ... content piracy rate now in terms of movies don't need a ... steady fee that is when ... they get up to me forgive the air ... that ... and to find where a river of content being created and De tend to get an alert on the beach ... technology provider I think our views are ... uploader we provide tools for content creators to both ... protect the content should they decide to do that ... and if Denmark if they don't want to protect that London would want to have the right ads ... in so that the writedowns and so you know ... I ... would not smack dab in that debate of you know what happens ... because when auto Porto side when not you know I actually delivering the content ... what we have stepped up in and done is ... use your content provider ... me give you both options you want a particular content and stream that we allow it to do that ... if you say no I'd like as many eyeballs as possible but I won the Mana ties that to advertising ... we bought a company called on to to to allow you to do ... so again goes back to choice I talk about ... I think that's the right strategy for a company like you ... so I'm what they can thank you all for coming hope we'll see you wold January seventeenth in Menlo Park Sharon hikes ... share hikes country club ... you will be invited I wanna thank BCG again ... for sponsoring especially thank you ... for being with this

The cn=schema entry has a multivalued attribute, objectClasses, that contains definitions of each object class in the directory schema. You can delete definitions with X-ORIGIN 'user defined' by using the ldapmodify(1) command.
Because the schema is defined by the LDAP view in cn=schema, you can view and modify the schema online using the ldapsearch and ldapmodify utilities. However, you can delete only schema elements that have the value 'user defined' for the X-ORIGIN field. The server will not delete other definitions.
Changes that you make to user-defined elements are saved in the file 99user.ldif .
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
View the definition of the object class to delete.
See To View an Object Class for details.
Use the ldapmodify(1) command to delete the object class definition as it appears in the schema.
The following command deletes the object class that was created in Example 11–4:
$ ldapmodify -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - Enter bind password: dn: cn=schema changetype: delete delete: objectClasses objectClasses: ( 188.8.131.52.5.6.8 NAME 'blogger' DESC 'Someone who has a blog' STRUCTURAL MAY blog X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) ^D
Notice that you must include X-ORIGIN 'user defined', which was added by Directory Server to classify this schema definition as an extension.

Corpus Building
Right now I am in the process of building a web document corpus for web genre detection. That poses the question what a "good" corpus looks like. I have thought (and researched, of course 😉 ) about it for a while and I came up with following requirements:
- A good corpus needs to consist of randomly acquired web documents. It is important that the page in respective genres (in my case blogs) are pretty much different in themselves by content and by structure – as diverse as documents of a single genre can be.
- Many corpora found on the web have one severe flaw: being collected for a single purpose they contain the document data but rarely style sheets, JavaScript files or images. In my opinion these can provide features for detecting a genre as well, so I'd need them. Unfortunately, many corpora don't hint on the original source (URL) of these documents, so it isn't possible to resample these same documents again and to validly compare my own approach to the one used with these corpora. So I need my corpus to be reconstructible to allow future comparisons.
- As I focus a structural approach that doesn't depend on linguistic features or depends on one language, I need to build a multi-lingual corpus, meaning that I will incorporate documents in German, Czech, Russian etc. as well.
- How many documents are enough? Related works state their corpus size to be around 200 – 300 hand-labelled documents per genre. Manually labelling is no fun, but needed to ensure quality of the corpus.
This list is not exclusive, as there are many more requirements for a corpus, but this is a work-in-progress, and so I will just leave the other stuff out.
For selecting appropriate web resources for the blog genre I first tried to grab the RSS-feeds of blog pinging services (like this one from syndic8), but soon I had the problem of too much ping spam in there. So I tried the open web directory project dmoz, downloaded the RDF-Data, parsed it using my favorite programming language Python and found a lot of URLs – beautifully categorized and hand-labelled (and the best thing is: not by me 😉 ).
My next step is to randomly select documents, checking that they have been categorized correctly by the dmoz folks, and download them. It still is a long way, but I think I made a good progress in short time thanks to dmoz.
