[portland] Script to Change UPPER CASE to Mixed Case

[Rami Kassab]

Rich, I believe that the method I referred you too already had some of those
rules built in. I'm sure you might be able to find a bit of pre-written
conditionals for this kind of stuff. Some data miner contractors that we
work with do a pretty good job of getting us clean data... of course most of
them use Perl but we have a few that use Python :)
