Is there any free software available on Ubuntu that can convert a pdf file to a .doc file?
I've had great success with PDF to Word online. This is not a desktop application, but a service, that works better than other things I've used.
Then perform the conversion:
Install AbiWord from Ubuntu Software Center
Open Pdf Files with it.
Use Save As.. to save pdf in Word Doc format.
Its this easy :)
I prefer converting PDF files first to HTML using pdftohtml included in the poppler-utils package, for example by means of a Nautilus Script merely consisting of this command:
Then I open the resulting HTML file in LibreOffice Writer, and (after a little editing) Save As any other document format I like.
Note: Adding -i parameter to the command above produces HTML file without images.
Not free, but PDF Studio, an alternative to Adobe Acrobat that works on Linux will do that. So if you have other PDF needs that you need filled, take a look at PDF Studio.
The free demo is available for download on the Ubuntu/Canonical Store.
When opening a word document (
There is also an option to convert multiple Word documents to PDF as a batch under Batch -> Convert a Batch.

Fancy Dancing is cool and all but when they parade the POW/MIA flag around I want to scissorkick someone in the ear.
wait...what? those flags honor our veterans.
Hard Rock Café is, like, so indie.
It won't really be indie unless Parker Posey is there.
i though that indian was offensive use of the word. isn't native american the safe one? or are they fine w/ that now? like calling developing countries 3rd world, etc.
If the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation uses it, I'm not going to correct them.
@ 5: 'indian' is like 'nigger' - the group in question can say it, you can't.
we use indian, of course some (like my aunt) don't but its acceptable. alot of people my age just say Native, Indian is the language of our treaties and law. 'native american' is rarely used by Natives.
The problem with "Indian" isn't that it's racist, it's that it's general. Most of the time Indians think of themselves as members of a tribe, not a continent-wide category. If it's not used in a way that suggests a lack of understanding of the different peoples, it's not a slur at all.
I think it's too bad that local Duwamish, Suquamish, etc. have to celebrate "their" culture with Navajo fry bread and Seminole pride. They should be promoting the knowledge of the local peoples. Most Washingtonians know far more about famous tribes like the Sioux and Comanches than the people from around here.
J, the reason people get annoyed at the POW/MIA flag is because to them it doesn't represent honor to veterans; it represents Rambo kooks who think Vietnam still harbors American prisoners.
it doesn't get any bigger than Crow Fair
held each year near the site of the Battle of the Little Bighorn (or Custer's Last Stand as we learned it in school in MT in the 80's)...
"I think it's too bad that local Duwamish, Suquamish, etc. have to celebrate "their" culture with Navajo fry bread and Seminole pride."
They don't. United Indians hosts the Pow Wow and dancers from all over come to dance their own traditions.
The local tribes do host their own cultural celebrations. In addition, there will be a Coastal Salish special at about 5:00 PM on Saturday to showcase local traditions.
@ 9 however this powwow isn't a duwamish or suquamish celebration its United Indians which is one of the pan-Indian groups in Seattle.
suquamish has 'chief seattle days' and the duwamish are still trying to build their longhouse http://www.duwamishtribe.org/html/longhouse_project.html
also, frybread isn't just navajo, we all got the same commods whether you call it bannock, push bread, wheel bread, frybread, oogapalie its all kinda the same
Funny how the people most interested in picking natives apart with semantics in order to protect them from hegemony are the white folk. Meanwhile the people most interested in joining together for a good time are the actual Indians.
What's more important folks? Using the right words or fostering acceptance and tolerance among everybody.
I'm half Cherokee half Choctaw and I prefer "injun."
I am half drunk, does that make me 1/4 indian? LOL
I know for a fact that indians like the drinky poo.
Speaking of urban indians, how come most of them live on 1st ave and in pioneer square, drink (ironically) T-bird wine, and throw bottles at one another? (Its not racist if its true).
It truly is a societal issue.
Plus then they get on metro and assault passengers.
If "ecco homo" was truly interested in learning more about the determinants of poverty in the Indian community, or the ravaging affects of alcoholism, s/he would do well to start with the resources mentioned in the original SLOG--National Urban Indian Health Institute and the UW Indigenous Wellness Research Institute.
However, I doubt there is an interest in any kind of informed discussion on Mr. or Ms. Homos behalf, so I wont bother spending too much time pointing out that drunk individuals of all races can be found downtown, that the worst of any people can be found if you search for them in pioneer square and that yes, in fact, there are many racists who speak partial truths and/or truths out of context.
Back on subjectthere are wonderful Indian people at Pow Wow, and today is somewhat sunny, which is good.
Majority of indians are alchoholic.
That doesn't make me a racist. It's the freaking truth.
I resent the implication that somehow I am a racist.
I resent the countless stereotypical statements uttering from the septic tank that is your brain, ecce. Yes, you're a troll, that's well and established, and I'm probably doing exactly what you're hoping for and gaining a reaction. But seriously - get a fucking better hobby than constantly trying to piss people off. Or perhaps you have completely given up on humanity and revel in being a cowardly douchebag just to give your sorry existence some kind of meaning.
I have 1 word to say: GRASS DANCING! Hee Hee! Yesterday's memorial grass dance special at Day Break Star was perfect, the dancers were impeccable from the 4 year olds, to the "Golden Age" ones and everything in between. It was a combination of serial death by cuteness, athletic expression and moments of profound spiritual uplift that would move any soul - no matter what religious subcription they have. I have one word for any of the dancers or organizer (if they read this): THANK YOU!
Don't forget the Pirates! I saw the grass dancing, it was awesome! But about half an hour later the Seafair Pirates came. They were hilarious, the announcer called them ugly. Then it rained and we all went home. I also ate frybread. I hope my trainer isn't reading this!!!!

By Scooter MacMillanMarch 5, 2014
FORT BENNING, Ga., (March 5, 2014) -- The Springer has produced the most elaborate and expensive show, in not only the history of the State Theatre of Georgia, but also in the history of Columbus.
Les Misérables, the world's longest-running musical, opens for a limited Columbus run.
"Les Misérables is the show more people have asked us to produce," said producing artistic director Paul Pierce. "We've tried for years to get the rights to this fantastic musical, and when it looked like we could get it, I jumped at the chance."
In fact, the negotiations for Les Misérables included the contractual stipulation that the Springer couldn't announce its production when the theater announced last February the plays it would be doing this season. So the theater was selling season tickets for several months with an unnamed musical running at this time.
Finally, in late spring the Springer was given permission to announce that the unnamed blockbuster musical would be Les Misérables.
"We were selling season tickets faster than ever before. I think lots of those early season tickets sales were from people who guessed that Les Misérables was a musical that would be such a big deal," Pierce said. "And after it was announced ticket sales shoot up even more. We've never sold tickets this fast or this early before. If you want to see it, get them now before it sells out."
Les Misérables is the adaptation of the well-loved novel by Victor Hugo about passion and destruction in 19th century France. Caught up in the grip of revolution, escaped convict Jean Valjean struggles to keep his vow to the orphan Cosette while keeping out of the relentless pursuit of the policeman Javert.
NOTE: Although OMG and LOL may be old hat today, the publication of the first English translation of Les Misérables may have been the occasion of the first text message. Nervous about how sales of the translation were going, Hugo telegraphed his English publishers a one character query: "?" They replied: "!"
The book was not only popular in France, it was a hit all over the world. The musical version of Les Misérables has been an even bigger hit.
The musical has run for over 25 years in London and ran for over 16 years on Broadway.
After Les Misérables closed on Broadway in 2003, it had a successful revival in 2006 that was supposed to be a limited run but that was extended to two years.
A new revival is scheduled to open on Broadway this March.
Les Misérables runs at 7:30 p.m., Fridays-Saturdays on March 6-8, March 13-15 and at 2:30 p.m. March 9.
For tickets or more information call the Springer Box Office at 706-327-3688 or visit springeroperahouse.org.

5 things to know about the FA Cup final
Credit: The Associated Press
Credit: The Associated Press
When Arsenal beat Manchester United in a penalty shootout to win the FA Cup in 2005, few can have imagined that Arsene Wenger's team would still be waiting for its next piece of silverware nine years later.
Yet that is the situation facing Arsenal ahead of its latest opportunity to end the trophy drought — an FA Cup final against Hull City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
The bookmakers have Arsenal as a huge favorite. The club has already planned its parade route through north London for Sunday. Hull has never won a major trophy in its 110-year history.

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
DC Collectibles has debuted its second wave of action figures based on the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight video game.
Revealed by MTV News, the figures of Catwoman, Commissioner Gordon, Nightwing and Robin stand between 6.5 inches and 6.75 inches tall, and feature somewhere around 20 points of articulation, as well as character-specific accessories and (in most cases) interchangeable hands. They join Wave 1's Batman, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Arkham Knight and the Gamestop-exclusive Red Hood, released in April.
On my superhero fashion site Project: Rooftop, I've been talking up to the nth degree an amazing set of superhero redesigns by Italian artist Denis Medri. This artist has taken Gotham's resident bad-boy billionaire and recast him as a 1950s greaser to amazing results. While Medri's work might not be in line with the New 52, it harkens back to the best of DC Comics' celebrated Elseworlds line of titles reimagining its heroes in different timelines and settings. Medri's gone on to reinvent much of Batman's cast in this model, with everything from a Betty Page-esque Catwoman and a poodle skirt-wearing Harley Quinn to a Rat Fink-worthy hot rod Batmobile.
Although the actual chances that DC would somehow accept this as a back-door pitch are slim to none, it does highlight the intriguing passion artists have for classic characters and just how enamored fans can be when their favorite heroes (and villains) are repositioned to alternative lives. While some might say its insular thinking, I think it broadens the core concepts of these timeless characters and shows just how versatile they can be.
Emmy nominee Steve Buscemi has played a corrupt politician on Boardwalk Empire, a small-time crook in Fargo, a naive bowler in The Big Lebowski, and an offbeat private investigator on 30 Rock. Now add to that Gotham City police commissioner.
Hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend, Buscemi starred as James Gordon opposite Andy Samberg's Batman in a digital short about a lurky Caped Crusader with serious boundary issues. Check out the video, complete with a cameo by Aquaman, below.
Scott Snyder, who writes the awesome Vertigo title American Vampire, is set to make his debut on Detective Comics next week. Over on DC's the Source blog, he talks about his upcoming run on the book with artist Jock.
"On the surface, the run will constitute a kind of back-to-basics approach, with Dick Grayson, as the newly anointed Batman of Gotham, solving brutal crimes around the city with new, high-tech CSI toys," Snyder said. "But the run will also be about the dark and mysterious relationship the city has with Bat. Because for Bruce, Gotham has produced the Joker, Two-Face and all the great villains we know and love as dark and twisted reflections of Bruce himself. And now, with Dick in the cowl, the city seems to be changing, becoming meaner, more vicious. Which makes him wonder – what if being Batman in Gotham means having to face your worst childhood fears come to life, in the flesh? What if Gotham is like a black funhouse mirror to whoever wears the cowl?"
DC Comics announced on Friday that Scott Snyder, who takes over the writing chores on Detective Comics in November, is also writing a back-up feature for the book starring Commissioner Gordon. Snyder will be joined by artist Francesco Francavilla on the feature.
"I'm a huge fan of Francesco's work and have been for quite some time," Snyder told DC's The Source blog. "His style is dark and daring with a good amount of noir to it, but there's also a striking physicality to his art – his characters always look very real, very vulnerable and human. Which is why I always thought he'd be perfect for the job; because this story is dark and dramatic with some big revelations, but it's also about Jim Gordon, the man, coming to terms with some very tough skeletons from his past… Or rather, one skeleton in particular – someone who has just now returned to Gotham, too… So I simply could not be more excited about Francesco's involvement. With Jock on feature, Francesco on back-up, this is exactly the team I'd hoped for! (Huge giant-penny-sized thanks to our editor Mike Marts for the creative freedom and support.) Can't wait to see what you think of the book, DC Nation!"

Oct. 21, 2012
WASHINGTON - An outstanding all-around team effort propelled the Georgetown University volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep over BIG EAST foe DePaul (7-15, 2-7 BIG EAST), snapping a 14-game losing streak. The Hoyas improved to 7-15 overall and 1-8 in the BIG EAST with their first conference win of the season and first home win Sunday afternoon at McDonough Arena.
"Finally!" exclaimed Head Coach Arlisa Williams following her team's 27-25, 25-20, 25-17 win. "They should be really proud of themselves. We scored a lot of points, and played low-error volleyball. That's what we needed to do."
Sophomore middle blocker Dani White (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) continued her stellar weekend, racking up 11 kills on a match-high .381 hitting percentage. Sophomore outside hitter Alex Johnson (Tampa, Fla./Plant) tied DePaul's Vesela Zapryanova's match-high of 12 kills, including six in the first set.
The Hoyas played great defense, led by sophomore libero MacKenzie Simpson (Greensboro, N.C./Northwest Guilford), who displayed exceptional passing skills from the back row. Simpson led all players with 24 digs--a career-high for a three-set match--nine of which came in the final frame. Freshman Emily Gisolfi (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) added 11 digs, also a three-set career-high.
"When we're in system, we can set all three of our hitters and we can make Haley an offensive threat," said Williams of the team's passing proficiency. "It just makes us harder to guard." Junior setter Haley Lowrance (Phoenix, Ariz./Sunnyslope) helped put on the passing clinic as well, recording 42 assists to go along with 10 digs and three kills.
The first set was anything but easy. The Hoyas came out with confidence and battled the Blue Demons early, but DePaul would make GU work for every point. After Depaul scored two to tie it at 22, Williams called timeout. Finishing and consistency have been themes for the Hoyas in practice, and they found themselves in a familiar situation late in the opening set. The team responded immediately, winning the next two points to put GU a point away from a 1-0 lead.
With the Hoyas leading 24-22, DePaul now called time as they would try to salvage the set. They made it interesting by scoring the next two and tying the set at 24, but GU would go on to take the 27-25 victory.
GU built an 8-3 lead early in the second set, and would hover around that five-point margin throughout the set en route to the 25-20 victory.
Sensing that victory was within reach, GU came out aggressively in the third set, earning a 14-6 lead. They maintained their composure and came up with timely points to keep the lead comfortable.
The Hoyas out-blocked the Blue Demons seven to four, and had just 14 attack errors to DePaul's 16. Junior Annalee Abell (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay) and Sophomore outside Elizabeth Riggins (Mission Viejo, Calif./Santa Margarita) provided depth up front, recording nine kills apiece.
Allyson Rooks led DePaul's defense with 23 digs, and Zapryanova added 10 to give her a double-double.
"We've just got to take the confidence that we have after this, and take it one day, one point, one practice at a time. That's all we can do."
The Blue & Gray look to build on their momentum as they remain in Washington next weekend for two conference matches. Marquette comes to town Friday, Oct. 26 at 8 p.m., followed by Syracuse Sunday, Oct. 28 at noon.

This paper presents a novel approach to an online trajectory planning of robot arms for the interception of a fast-maneuvering object under torque and velocity constraints. A body axis is newly introduced as a trajectory-planning coordinate in order to meet the position and the velocity matching conditions for a smooth grasp of the fast-maneuvering object. Using the position of the object and the end-effector in the inertia axis, the acceleration commands are generated in the X-, Y-, and Z-directions of the body axis and the acceleration commands are modified considering the torque and the velocity constraints. The trajectory planning in the X-direction becomes the speed planning to achieve the maximum speed, whereas the trajectory planning in the Y- and Z-directions becomes the direction planning where a missile-guidance algorithm is employed to intercept the maneuvering object. Finally, the acceleration commands in the body axis are transformed into the angle commands of the end-effector in the joint axis, which is used as the actual trajectory commands in robot arms.

If Breast Is Best, Why Aren't More Mothers Breastfeeding?
Nov. 6, 2000 -- The American Academy of Pediatrics calls breastfeeding "the ideal method of feeding and nurturing infants" -- yet, relatively few U.S. women breastfeed. In a recent study published in the November issue of the journal Pediatrics, a little more than 44% of women decided to breastfeed, and by the time the baby was 6 months old, only 13% were still breastfeeding. Why?
The researchers, who surveyed almost 250 women, found women often stop breastfeeding -- or don't even start -- because they know they'll need to return to work.
It is possible to breastfeed if you work full time, says Paul A. Gluck, MD, an Ob-Gyn. A few lucky mothers who work in family-friendly environments can visit their child in on-site day care and breastfeed during breaks. But if that isn't available, "once the breast milk is established, a woman can combine breast and bottle feeding," Gluck tells WebMD. "This is not as good as breastfeeding exclusively, but it is much better than not breastfeeding at all." Gluck is vice chair for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for the Florida section and co-director of the Baptist Health Systems of South Florida Foundation.
Also, family members can offer a great deal of support for new mothers -- along with a lot of advice and influence, the survey shows. As a matter of fact, the mother's major source of information about breastfeeding was her family about 40% of the time. And when mothers chose to bottle feed, it was often due to perceptions of the father's attitudes and concerns about the quantity of breast milk.
Maria Egusquiza, MD, says grandmothers often influence the decision on breastfeeding as well. "Many women of that generation didn't breastfeed themselves, so we need to educate them and explain its benefits. We try to talk to the whole family and clear up any misinformation," she says. Egusquiza is a pediatrician in private practice on staff at Baptist Hospital of Miami.
The key to turning the tide in favor of more breastfeeding lies not only in education, but also in the timing of education. "The most important thing we learned is that we need to target education to mothers early in pregnancy or even before pregnancy, in order to attain higher rates of breastfeeding," lead author Samir Arora, MD, tells WebMD. "We found 78% of people made their decision either before pregnancy or within the first trimester." Arora is associate director of Community Health Net, a primary care practice in Erie, Penn.

AbstractTactical scenarios are being combined with evolving multimedia display technologies and high performance simulators to enhance training opportunities throughout the military. To date, with the exception of the SDV-simulator, no high performance simulationtool has been developed to train Naval Special Warfare operators.This proposal demonstrates the feasibility of developing a SEAL Tactical Simulator (STS) that combines actual and hypothetical SEAL combat tactical scenarios with a high performance, multi-path simulation tool with the ability to track individualdecisions, influence scenario progression, and lead to a logical conclusion based on the entire decision process.Some of the key traits that SEALs pride themselves on are flexibility and innovativeness. While there is a preferred answer to many situations, there is usually no single right answer. The simulation will be developed to permit

7/10 I feel like you could saturate it a bit more, the blue really needs to stand out more, the color is quite dull, in addition to saturating, you could maybe have the effects have a blue glow to them, it would definitely make the effects look better, because it seems you're not aiming for something simplistic, so why not go ahead with full out details? Overall, it's amazing.
Awesome! Only thing left is to... make them at some common resolution sizes..? So your awesome artwork could be enjoyed at maximum awesomeness. Just an idea. XD
I always used the Blue one to play solo since he tended to be the easiest to play alone with. You could always holds a lot of guys at bay by freezing them.
This is really awesome! I love the Blue Knight, and I personally think he's the best. XD I got up to level 58 with this fellow and his magic is freakin' amazing. I have no idea how you did this so epicly! =0!!!

A quick question.
I've tried adding an edited template page with a different name to my child theme folder, but it doesn't show up in the select template drop down when editing a page.
Is it possible to add 'new' template pages to the child theme folder and have them show up as a selectable option in the template drop down?
I hope that all makes sense.

The use of video material for learning has been a constant in the educational environment for many years, but it has not been heavily exploited in the field of mobile devices yet. We believe that in this case, the use of interactive video in split screen encourages and enriches the educational experience, and is adapted to the mobile environment allowing all the resources to be kept on the screen. There exist applications related to educational interactive video units in web environments (such as the Viddix or Tuva projects), however, few are used in mobility contexts [1], and so far, none have studied the usability and suitability of a split screen interface. We have developed ViMoLe, a mobile application that allows interactive multimedia material to be reproduced multimedia material on Android devices using different adapted interfaces. We present the application along with an initial experiment in which users test and compare different available interaction systems, in order to study their preferences and analyze their behavior.

Modern Farm Table
Written by Kris on September 28, 2008. Permalink
I have had a design crush on the Big Sur dining table from Crate and Barrel ($1399) for over a year now, but I think the West Elm modern farm table ($599) is a good contender and is a lot cheaper.
Now, buyer beware, the one from Crate and Barrel is made of solid wood and the one from West Elm is just veneer, and I've heard that the West Elm veneers are notoriously thin, so if you have kids and pets and expect the table to hold up to some serious wear and tear, I recommend the Crate and Barrel one. If you live alone then the one from West Elm may do just fine.

The purpose of this paper is to establish a new upper bound on the size of the strategy space that is needed to feasibly implement the constrained Walrasian correspondence (W). This bound is significantly lower than those available from the literature on feasible Nash-implementation. Our focus on W has wider implications since implementation of W implies partial implementation of "almost" all individually rational and efficient implementable economic performance standards. Hence, our results provide a parallel — in the economic context — to the research agenda of Saijo [13] and McKelvey [9] who have established new upper bounds on the size of the strategy space required for feasible implementation of Nash-implementable performance standards in general social choice contexts. We prove that it is sufficient to have only three agents in an economy who make price-related announcements. This is a critical source of the reduction in strategy space.

Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
It's a federal law that protects you if you have an employee retirement account. It doesn't mean that your boss has to provide you with an employee retirement account and it doesn't set minimums for how much you can make or invest. But if your boss does offer an employee retirement account, this law sets some ground rules.
Thanks to ERISA, your boss must provide you with some basic information about your investments and must be reasonable when making up your retirement fund. These rules also establish how long you must work before you get any benefits. Basically, the law means your boss can't legally take your money into a retirement account and then drain the cash to take off to Fiji with the hot guy from the mail room.
