Michigan-Wisco Open Thread
Hell, the BTN weekend football show tonight spent a good chunk of time talking about if Hart and Henne should even play against the Badgers tomorrow since the if the Wolverines defeat Ohio State next week, we still would gain the Big Ten's automatic BCS berth.
Are you kidding me?! Is this the pros now, where the games often get less important at the end of the regular season?
Screw that. They both play. And as a result...
Hart reinjures his ankle/leg/thigh/INSERT BODY PART HERE. Henne's arm simply falls off at the shoulder. Mallett enters the game and sets an NCAA record by fumbling 9 consecutive center-QB exchanges.
RBP Prediction:
Team That Can Live With 9-3 If One Of The "9" Is Next Week - 14
Team Whose Coach is Named After an Eating Disorder - 31
*Final Score*
Oh, I Remember That Defense - 21, Wisconsin - 37

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine.....
Anyways, tomorrow has the potential of being ugly. Hopefully the Warriors of Ann Arbor aren't looking past the drunkards of Madison towards big showdown next week.
Anywho....since this RBP:

Leopold Brothers: 3

Just like Wisconsin's favorite son, Jeffrey Dahlmer, Wisky will slice and dice Michigan into perfectly proportioned refrigerator size pieces.

You know? Between Maize's cannibalism, Wtrks' pork loin, & Beliemia's bulimia, there ought to be a good joke, but I'm too quesy to work on it.
The real problem w/ Michigan football, all season, has been the line on both sides of the ball. The DT's can't stop the run between the tackles. The right side of the O line can't stop the rush from the center out- in either pass protection or rushing. In short, we've got more holes than a Wisconsin swiss cheese.
Thanks to being bowl eligible, we can (& will) end the season w/ 5 losses.

Apparently, Wisky can run and pass at will. Not a good sign.
Your coaches need to start thinking like chiropractors.

We ALWAYS start slow.....I HATE THAT! I also hate F***ing Comcast, I lose my internet connection EVERY single Weekend!
For crying out loud!!! Do they realize that my heart can not take this drama? So the offense is gimpy, but what about the defense showing up?
I also don't like seeing the sidelines and what appears to be attitude on Mallett's part. I hope I am just imagining that.
Ok, deep breath, we can come out of half time as the REAL Michigan team.

Don't worry....Michigan is going to come back in the 2nd half.

A predictably ugly first half...does anyone else get immediately uncomfortable when they see Mallett behind center?
- November 10, 2007 1:55 PM
- ChicagoWolverine said...
I think Hart needs to go in for pass protection at a minimum. Mallett will not win this game without him. -- need defense to get a turnover.

Are we assuming Henne went out as a precautionary measure and not for a further aggravated shoulder?

Let's save ourselves the trouble of speculating about the 2nd half, next week, & the citrus bowl. Instead, we could devote the next 2 months to speculating about a new coach. Better use of time & less likely to have a disappointing result.

I am with you SIC, I am not even sure I can watch this anymore. Wisky is running all over us (and passing) *sigh* I do think Henne out is precautionary, we are now playing to get by until we play tOSU.....poor choice in my opinion. But they haven't listened to me yet this season, so why should they bother now...;o)

No one can escape The Dahlmer effect. Michigan should know better than to go home with men from gay bars in Wisconsin.

But then again, the way Michigan is playing, it seems the team enjoys getting dry fisted by Wisconsin.
Might want to bring Cone in. He's the last virgin on the team.

If the DEFENSE can show up for the rest of this game, we MAY just......ok, I am not saying it out loud...............DEFENSE< DEFENSE< DEFENSE.

Unbelievable. We knew there was a chance of a gimpy offense (and I agree, hopefully Mallett practiced as if he was playing, but it sure as hell did not look like it) But for the defense to NOT show up.....just totally not show up....that is just unbelievable.
If this is who is going to show up next week....it is going to be truly painful.
- November 10, 2007 3:38 PM

Whets, maybe FUCKING STUPID CALL would be less of a contradiction ;o)

Trust me- 60 days from now we'll wish we'd had turned this season off last week.
As I stand on deck, dressed in black tie, listening to the strings play "Nearer My God to Thee" while the sea water steadily rises, a few, lasting fleeting thoughts jump to mind:
Our 8 game winning streak was 1 part determination on our part, 3 parts lousy opponents;
Lloyd will never really adjust his playbook to the personnel @ hand- the Illinois game was an alcohol induced mirage;
Not only is our "scheme" coaching poor, our player development is worse- in 4 years no one has taught Crable to stop hitting QBs in the head; and
Next week is going to be more of the same- we can't bring ourselves to do anything different in big games. Tosu is good, but hardly an unstoppable juggernaut, but we shall play w/ the same players & formations as we have the last 11. They will make adjustments, we wont- you can always out coach Lloyd.
Finally, wetrock- not sure about "holy shit" pretty some knight on the Third Crusade found some of Christ's droppings and had them declared a "relic".
Maybe the Falcons will let Bobby Petrino out of his K after their dismal season & he'll want to come back to college?
Less of a miracle than praying we'll win either of our last two games.
- November 10, 2007 3:50 PM
- Katie said...
SIC, I do believe you have a very good point, I just really wanted to believe differently.
Notice that the RBP score is almost exactly what the final score is
Is it just me, or does it seem like Mario and Crable were totally playing for draft position? I just got the feeling they wanted to be "noticed" to improve their draft bid. I am pretty sure it backfired if that is what they were trying to do.
It isn't too late.....I could still sell my tOSU ticket and make a little cash, rather than suffer for 4 hours next week. (A little RBP early??)
- November 10, 2007 3:59 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
After 7 yrs of this- and today's loss was just everyone in '05 & 90% of the others since 2000, I can't bring myself to hope.
Please think of still goin to the game/giving your tick to one of your boys, etc. The last humilation we can hope to avoid is having the Faithful give up on next week to the point of having 30,000 red jerseys in the stands, ala Nebraska-ND during Davies' last years.
Listening to Mussburger talk for 3 hrs about the "great" showing of suckeye fans on the road will be much worse than watching it live.
All is lost, save honor.

Katie -- go to the game. I'm hoping it's like the early 90's when Michigan beat tOSU when they shouldn't have. Maybe Hart will pull a Biakabatuka and get 300. Or, more likely, they'll lose by 20.
My Dad tried to warn me about all this when he told me 30 years ago that "they never fail to disappoint." Except for 1997, that's been true. I don't expect a National Championship every year, but come on. Maybe Petrino will have a Saban-like revelation. Or maybe Brian Kelly would take the job.
Stick a fork in me. I'm done.

"Physics & time"? What has science got to do w/ "faith"?
Good thing you weren't around in the 11th century! You'd be on a rack in front of some Dominican friar if you'd tried to argue facts in the face of medievel church doctrine (ask "evil" Maize- have a feeling he might have been there in a past demonic life).

Thanks. Thinking of conducting my own crusade to find St. Paul's holy tackling dummy in time for our D line to practice w/ it before Saturday. May even pull the "true cross" out to have the cheerleaders carry out "before" the team as they run under the "holy ufer" mgoblue banner to make us invincible against the pagan host.
Sadly, we have about as much of a chance as the children's crusade did of capturing the holy land.
Sigh- you stay classy, san diego!

What is really terrible is watching Manningham and Mallett playing little games with each other.
Mallett better get a lot smarter in the off season, because it gets a bit tiresome watching him give up 7 or 14 points a game through key turnovers.
Carr partially righted the ship, but offensive crew is mutinying among themselves. Sheesh. If he isn't gone at the end of the year, I hope we puts those guys in line.
- November 10, 2007 4:53 PM
- Katie said...
Have no fear guys, I will go (with the hope that I am there to watch them beat tOSU) and if there ever was a reason that I could not go to ANY game, my ticket would NEVER go to a fan of the opposing team.Ever.
As painful as it is at times, you can't take the blue and maize out of me. I still love that they stood tall the last 8 games after the horror. Here is hoping they were saving something for tOSU. GO BLUE!

Of course, this makes next week all the more difficult, tOSU now wants to win the big ten, that is all they have left! (9th time this season that a top 5 team has lost to a non-ranked team this year, interesting stat!)

Thank god for OSU losing, cause not only does that mean no national championship for the buckeyes, but also cause that we take more of the limelight of the wolverines going into the big game. The one thing that does suck about the two losses today is that it makes the Big 10 look really bad. The game next sat. was shaping up to be a huge huge game. But, now for everyone else outside Michigan and Ohio, the game is really meaningless. Big loss for the conference today.
- November 10, 2007 6:47 PM
- Katie said...
SIC, maybe you and the wifey could comfort each other over the losses? This could turn in your favor.......jump on the opportunity! Undercover, sneak out and get some roses, drop rose petals in a trail to the bedroom......;o) (it would work for me, but then, pretty much anything would work for me...LMAO!)
- November 10, 2007 6:54 PM

Not so fast my friend,
The big game next week still matters to another team in the Big Ten. I know us down here in Chambana are pulling for a Big Blue win, because in case you hadn't noticed, that makes us second in the conference.
How weird does that sound?

Right here. Even after we lost, I was - believe it or not - pulling for OSU so The Game didn't lose all it's luster. But, alas, I'm afraid outside of A2 and C-bus, we both just tumbled off the national stage.

My thoughts exactly J. And what about the fact that we beat Illinois, that doesn't play here? What about the fact that Wisky led tOSU? The Big Ten "MAY" be on the weak side right now, but the SEC is way over rated.

my .02. It just doesn't hurt as bad now. It bugged me earlier, bad during the game. I even thought for a bit we'd become some new fangled "comeback cardiac kids" if we'd secure the "W" but alas, defeat. Still, it just doesn't hurt as bad now that tOSU ate shit out of their own shoe today.
- November 10, 2007 10:56 PM
- tommertoffo said...
Few thoughts:
Hey, let's just face it. Michigan is just not that good this year. The Big Ten is even worse.
Mario Manningham, though talanted, is not a team player.
Mallett will learn more from this game than any in his Michigan career. Mallett has more natural talent than Henne.
Without Hart, the team is mediocre.
I happen to like Carr. If he has a fault it's not psychologically getting his players ready for games like this. It's especially true in the beginning of seasons and on the road. The defense wasn't ready to play.
That's the last "jerk" play I can stand from Crable. He's a bonafide jerk - The second call was bull, however.
Michigan's gonna win next Saturday and lose in the Bowl.
- November 11, 2007 12:08 AM
- Ron said...
ok, I'm sorry I just have say that this was a game the players and staff didn't care about. Even if we'd won today, there's no way we go to the BCS without winning next week. Holding Hart and Henne out, a clear signal Carr didn't care, and sadly a signal to the rest of our players as well. Maybe I'm just a homer, but I didn't see a team that is that bad, I saw a team that went through the motions.
Pat Forde at ESPN is Douchebag.

Well, I guess it is tough to win on the road when you lose your 4 year starter QB and Heisman calibre running back.
Lots of Mich fans were at the game today.
Didn't see the game on TV but in person the Wolverines looked very flat and emotionless.
Sandwich game between tough Mich St win and tO$U?
Good luck next week.
- November 11, 2007 12:35 AM

Why is it when the Big 10 loses to each other it's bad but when the SEC loses to each other it's a sign of just how tough their conference is?

Issue Type: Bug Created: 2006-06-19T22:59:04.000+0000 Last Updated: 2013-02-10T16:36:21.000+0000 Status: Postponed Fix version(s): Reporter: Aaron Edmonds (datafirminc) Assignee: Dolf Schimmel (Freeaqingme) (freak) Tags: - Zend_Pdf

If an existing PDF document is loaded which contains a page that is rotated, drawing pretty much doesn't work as the end-user would expect. The original report:
bq. drawText renders text rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise when using a 5.5(w) x 8.5(h) in. document. You can see an example of this at http://dfinc.net/pdf/nstv.pdf .
The problem Aaron is experiencing is that the page he's trying to draw to has been rotated 270 degrees and cropped in the page dictionary:

10 0 obj<[17 0 R 19 0 R 20 0 R 21 0 R 22 0 R 23 0 R 24 0 R 25 0 R]
/Type/Page/Parent 4 0 R/Rotate 270/MediaBox[0 0 612 792]
/CropBox[0.0 396.0 612.0 792.0]/Resources 11 0 R>>
Zend_Pdf currently does not handle page rotation, so doesn't do anything special with the rotation entry in the page's dictionary.
The issue is that even though the page is "rotated", it is only rotated at display time; the page's coordinate system is unchanged. This is why the $line_1 y coordinate in the example below must be at just over 9 inches to appear on the page.
The illustration zf33illustration.png attached to this issue shows the actual drawing coordinate system for this page:
As a workaround, the user can rotate the drawing coordinate system with page->rotate($x, $y, $degrees) and then adjust the $x and $y coordinates appropriately, but this is a pain.
I'm not sure what we should actually do here. It would be convenient for the end-user if we 'automagically' rotated and translated the coordinate system if a rotated page is loaded, but there may be cases where such behavior is not desired.

This is the example of the issue. All that was used to generate this is the $page->drawText method.

This isn't a problem with drawing the text. The following example works as expected (result attached as reduction1.pdf):

$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
// 5.5x8.5in document. the extra colon needed in the page definition appears to be a bug...
$pdf->pages[] = ($page = $pdf->newPage('396:612:'));
$page->setFont(Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_TIMES), 18);
$page->drawText('This is a test', 72, 300);
The problem is not that the PDF document uses a custom size, it's that the page that is being drawn to is rotated:

10 0 obj
<[17 0 R 19 0 R 20 0 R 21 0 R 22 0 R 23 0 R 24 0 R 25 0 R 27 0 R ] /Type /Page /Parent 4 0 R /Rotate 270 /MediaBox [0 0 612 792 ]
/CropBox [0 396 612 792 ] /Resources 11 0 R >>
The text appears to be drawing on the page in its original (non-rotated) orientation. Looking to see what needs to be fixed...
In the interim, can you post the actual code you're using to generate this document (as with the sample above)?
Posted by Aaron Edmonds (datafirminc) on 2006-06-20T10:49:13.000+0000
Here is the code that is used to generate the pdf. This is extracted from a method in a controller for a MCV app. The view just sets the content type and echoes $data.

$data = $this->Sale->read();
$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load(ROOT.DS.'pdfs'.DS.'6890.pdf');
$page = $pdf->pages[0];
$page->setFont(new Zend_Pdf_Font_Standard(Zend_Pdf_Const::FONT_HELVETICA), 12);
$margin_left = 50;
// Line #1
$line_1 = 650;
// Plate Number
$page->drawText($data['Inventory']['license_number'], $margin_left + 5, $line_1);
$this->set('data', $pdf->render());
Posted by Aaron Edmonds (datafirminc) on 2006-06-20T10:55:59.000+0000
Actually I forgot a line of code. The pdf that is imported is two pages so I use ``` to take off the extra page. Not sure if that helps but I thought I'd put it in there.

Thanks for the code. I'm trying to reproduce your issue here, but Zend_Pdf is throwing an exception when trying to read the nstv.pdf file. (That's another bug.) Can you attach the original 6890.pdf file?

Changed title of issue and revised description to reflect root of problem. We'll need to hash out a solution here--it's not going to be a trivial change.
Posted by Aaron Edmonds (datafirminc) on 2006-06-20T13:04:29.000+0000
Can you give an example of how you could use $page->rotate($x, $y, $degrees) to fix the text?
Posted by Willie Alberty (willie) on 2006-06-20T14:30:46.000+0000
You need to do two things:
First, you need to rotate the coordinate system. $x and $y specify the rotation point. Positive numbers for $degrees rotate counter-clockwise; negative numbers rotate clockwise. I find it easiest to rotate about the origin (imagine rotating the a sheet of paper with the lower-left corner pinned). So you'd need something like this: $page->rotate(0, 0, deg2rad(-90));
Then, you need to adjust the $x and $y coordinates for your drawing commands. Right now, you'll have to do this manually. (In addition to $page->rotate(), we really need $page->translate() so it becomes automatic. See ZF-64.) If you rotated about the origin, you probably only need an offset for your $x coordinates: $xOffset = -792
Note that the rotation origin and the specific offsets you use will be entirely dependent on the page you're working with. For your specific example, the page was rotated 270 degrees clockwise and the bottom half was cropped. Other documents will be different. Trial-and-error and a little bit of sleuthing inside the PDF file itself will help you find the right values to use.
Here's a full example using your document:

$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load('/path/to/6890.pdf');
$page = $pdf->pages[0];
$page->setFont(Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_TIMES), 18);
// Rotate the coordinate system 90 degrees clockwise
$page->rotate(0, 0, deg2rad(-90));
// Calculate the x and y offsets to "shift the origin."
$xOffset = -792;
$yOffset = 0;
// Make the text blue (so you can see it; I find it easier to adjust positioning this way).
$page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_HTML('blue'));
$page->drawText('This is a test', (24 + $xOffset), (418 + $yOffset));

Positioned out a few releases, if timing isn't right please set fix version to something more appropriate.
Posted by Bill Karwin (bkarwin) on 2006-11-13T15:16:40.000+0000
Changing fix version to 0.6.0.
Posted by Alexander Veremyev (alexander) on 2007-05-25T02:04:14.000+0000
Zend_Pdf needs clear API for rotating.
There are two different rotating types: a) page presentation rotating (/Rotate PDF page property is intended for this and must be multiple of 90) b) drawing coordinate system rotation (also needs translate() implementation)
That's a question, should we automatically translate drawing coordinate system if page presentation is rotated???
It needs to be discussed.
Posted by Alexander Veremyev (alexander) on 2007-05-25T02:04:45.000+0000
Postponed to post-1.0 period
Posted by Wil Sinclair (wil) on 2008-04-18T13:11:59.000+0000
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Posted by Alexander Veremyev (alexander) on 2008-12-03T09:47:53.000+0000
It's clear now how to implement this feature, but it breaks backward compatibility at drawing behavior level. Automatic rotation and shifting coordinate system affects drawing behavior.
So it may come only with ZF 1.8 or 2.0 and must be described in the release notes.

That finding comes from recently published research, "Using Smartphones as a Proxy for Forensic Evidence contained in Cloud Storage Services," conducted by University of Glasgow computer science PhD student George Grispos -- backed by computer forensics and e-discovery lecturer Brad Glisson and software engineering lecturer Tim Storer, both also of University of Glasgow -- which was presented at this year's 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.
The researchers said they'd expected to find "that smartphone devices will retain data from these storage services," but didn't know to what extent any leftover "artifacts" might include recoverable information. So they studied three popular cloud storage service apps running on the iPhone and on an HTC Desire running the Android operating system.
Here's what they found: "Using mobile forensic toolkits, data can be recovered from a smartphone device which has accessed a cloud storage service," they said. "The results from the experiment have shown that it is possible to recover files from the Dropbox, Box and SugarSync services using smartphone devices." In addition, artifacts left by those services' mobile apps in some cases allowed the researchers to gain a "proxy view" of files not stored on the device, but stored by the cloud service.
[ Companies have to protect their assets, but where do they cross the line into overzealous prying? See Monitoring Vs. Spying: Are Employers Going Too Far? ]
The extent to which they could recover files varied based on the operating system studied. "On the HTC Desire, both deleted and available files were recovered. The forensic toolkits recovered 9 files from Dropbox, 15 from Box and 11 from SugarSync," the researchers said. "On the iPhone, depending on application and device manipulation either 5 or 7 files were recovered from Dropbox, 7 or 15 from SugarSync and 5 from Box. No deleted application files were recovered from the iPhone."
Interestingly, the investigators could also use the Box app's file artifacts that they recovered to access copies of files that were no longer stored on devices, but still stored with Box. This required recovering file IDs for Box files that had been accessed, as well as authentication tokens linked to a specific Box user's account. With both pieces of information, the researchers could create a URL which accessed the Box API to download copies of files not present on the device, all without logging into the service. This digital forensic investigation technique worked on both the iPhone and Android devices.
Just to be clear, the researchers confined their study to these -- now superseded -- smartphone apps: "Dropbox (iOS version 1.4.7, Android version 2.1.3), Box (iOS version 2.7.1, Android version 1.6.7) and SugarSync (iOS version 3.0, Android version 3.6)."
What can smartphone users do to obscure any cloud-based files they've viewed? According to the researchers, clearing the cache led to them recovering fewer Dropbox and SugarSync files, but had no effect on the Box files. The researchers also reported that their file recovery success on the Android device depended, predictably, on whether the file had been saved for offline use, and if so, whether or not it had been saved to an external memory card, then deleted and overwritten, at which point it was unrecoverable.

Version V1
Alternate Title
Since 1982, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe has sponsored a cross-national, school-based study of health-related attitudes and behaviors of young people. These studies, generally known as Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC), are based on independent national surveys of school-aged children in more than 40 participating countries. The HBSC studies were conducted every four years since the 1985-1986 school year. The data available here are from the results of the United States survey conducted during the 2005-2006 school year. The study results can be used as stand-alone data, or to compare with the other countries involved in the international HBSC. The HBSC study has two main objectives. The first objective is to monitor health-risk behaviors and attitudes in youth over time to provide background data and to identify targets for health promotion initiatives. The second objective is to provide researchers with relevant information in order to understand and explain the development of health attitudes and behaviors through early adolescence. The study contains questions dealing with many types of drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and other substances. Other topics include questions about family composition, the student's physical health, and other health behaviors and attitudes. Some of these topics include eating habits, dieting, physical activity, body image, health problems, and bullying. A school administrator also completed a survey concerning the school's programs and policies that affect students' health and the content of various health courses.

Data Collection Notes
The school administrator survey has been split out as a second part for this wave of data collection instead of being appended to the student data. Users may wish to merge the two datasets together to perform additional analyses combining the administrator survey with the student survey. This can be done using the variable SCHL_ID.
Data were collected by The CDM Group, Inc., Bethesda, MD. Data were prepared for release by the Prevention Research Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
To protect the anonymity of respondents, all variables that could be used to identify individuals have been collapsed or recoded in the public use files. These modifications should not affect analytic uses of the public use files.
The sample was a nationally representative sample, collected through a three-stage stratified design, with census divisions and grades as strata, and school districts (or a group of school districts) as primary sampling units (PSUs). African American and Hispanic students were oversampled to obtain better estimates for these groups.
The universe consisted of public, Catholic, and other private school students in grades 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 or their equivalent in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Response Rates
A total of 529 schools were contacted during data collection. Information was obtained from 327 schools, but only data from 227 schools are contained in this PUF. The remaining schools were identified as ineligible schools. Within these schools, 10,577 students were eligible and 9,227 participated, yielding a student response rate of 87.2 percent. Of the 10,577 eligible on the day of the survey 565 declined to complete the survey. An additional 1001 were absent the day of administration; however, 216 of those absentees completed the survey when they returned to school.

ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
For producing population-based estimates of means, totals, proportions, and ratios, each responding student in the sample was assigned a sampling weight. This weight combines a base sampling weight and adjustments for nonresponse at various stages. The base sampling weight assigned to a student (STU_WT) is the inverse of the probability of selection of the student. The probability of selecting a student is the product of the probability of selecting the PSU in which the school to which the student belongs is selected, the probability of selecting the school, and the probability of selecting the class of the student. Weights for each school and district are also present on the file.
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.

This is not your bra size, when measuring you must wear a bra. Your arms should be relaxed, and down at your sides. Then, take the tape across the fullest part of your bust and around your back.
This is the natural waistline, which is also the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's about an inch above your belly button.
Please measure the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone, which is approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. This measurement is not needed for full gowns.
Stand upright and keep your feet together. Then measure the length from your shoulder to your heels. (Just take the tape from your front, with bare feet).

The total delivery time is composed of two parts.
The first part is the processing time. This is the time from the moment your payment is received to the time we gather up all the items and package them. Processing time differs from category to category.
The second part is the actual shipping time. This is the time that it takes for the package to be delivered by the couriers to the destination. Standard shipping normally takes 5-8 days, and express shipping normally takes 3-4 days.
We calculate delivery estimates by taking the estimated shipping date and adding the processing time (the time it takes to make the dress); based on the shipping speed you've chosen.
Receiving time (Time needed for your order to be received successfully since you made the order) = Tailoring time (around 15-20 days) +shipping time (around 3-8 days)
Receiving time (Time needed for your order to be received successfully since you made the order) = Tailoring time (around 20-30 days) +shipping time (around 3-8 days)

"Safety is our highest priority and investing in a new bridge at Hopson Road means we can improve safety and allow trains to travel faster which will be a great economic benefit for the region," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "As President Obama said in his State of the Union address, investing in our nation's infrastructure is critical for our country's future economic growth."
The Hopson Road Project is the first of 12 Piedmont Improvement Program projects dedicated to separating rail and highway traffic. The project will ultimately eliminate 50 crossings between Charlotte and Raleigh. The new bridge at Hopson Road will eliminate two highway-rail grade crossings, straighten a curve and add a rail siding to allow more flexibility for passenger and freight trains to pass each other.
The new, two-track rail bridge over Hopson Road will eliminate long delays for vehicular traffic as trains pass and straighten the rail line route to allow for an increase in speed from 55 mph to 79 mph and up to 90 mph in the future. The new three-mile long passing siding will create more efficient train movements in and out of the Raleigh area.

The newly acquired line will be operated as the Michigan Southern Railroad Company (MSO). The MSO will operate approximately 51 miles of track from Woodburn, Ind., to Liberty Center, Ohio.
Mike Carr, president and CEO of Pioneer Railcorp, said, "We have purchased this line with the knowledge that it is in dire need of rehabilitation due to years of deferred maintenance. Our objective is to rehabilitate the line in order to provide consistent freight rail service to all current and potential shippers utilizing the line. We also plan to restore two sections of track, from Napoleon to Liberty Center and west of Defiance to Cecil, that would offer all shippers on the line connections to multiple Class 1 carriers for more competitive access to the North American rail system. We intend to explore all options available to complete these objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible."

97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know
From WikiContent
Create an Account by clicking create_account. You don't need an email invite to create an account.
This is the (provisional) home page for developing 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know.
Note: Before the site is made public we will be moving it from a wiki to a much more polished presentation created by professional web designers - this wiki is only an interim solution.
97 Things is a book of wisdom collected from leading software architects. When we have a suitable number of things, we'll open it to the public for comment. When we've reached some still-undetermined magic number, we'll publish it as a book. Right now, 97 sounds good.
What will come of all this?
O'Reilly will publish the contents of this wiki in a public and free web site off of the O'Reilly properties on July 15th, 2008. It will be embodied in a framework that is somewhat like a wiki, anyone can contribute, but looks more professional. It will be free to everyone but you'll have to register to contribute or comment or vote. Users (that's everyone who is registered) will be able to comment on other peoples axioms, rate other people's axioms, tag axioms, and create, edit and improve their own axioms. Anyone and everyone be able to view the material without requiring registration. The web site will be strongly promoted by O'Reilly and all contributers will get full attribution.
From the 97 Things web site O'Reilly plans to pick the top contributions and create a pocket guide which it will sell in bookstores and on-line. If your contribution is chosen any edits recommended by O'Reilly will be contributed back to the 97 Things web site for everyone to enjoy. Only contributions that meet certain requriments will be used in the book. They must be between 250 and 500 words long. The best size is 350 - 500 words. If they are shorter than 250 words O'Reilly might request that you expand them. If they are longer than 500 words O'Reilly will suggest edits to shorten the entry to 500 words. If the entries are not 250 - 500 words long they will not be included in the book, but they will be on the web site. Only works with a full bio will be used in the book. You must include a bio, contact information, and head shot. The contact information will not be in the book unless you want it to be - it will be used by O'Reilly to communicate with authors.
Rules of Engagement
- Contribution is by invitation only. You can nominate others for inclusion by adding them to the Nominations Page; please make sure to include an email address. We don't yet know whether there's one-to-one mapping between contributors and contributions, but for the time being, assume that each author may write one or more contributions. You can set yourself up with an account (just click create_account) and begin writing your first contribution immediately (see Contribution 0).
- Each contributor is asked to provide an axiom and a brief discussion. The axiom should only be a 2 to 10 words long if possible. In print, we want each axiom and discussion to fit on a two-page spread. Keep your discussion between 250 and 500 words. Discussions shorter than 250 words are fine, but only ones that are 250 or more are likely to make it into the final book.
- I'm asking everyone to create an author page (Please create one). Content on your author pages certainly doesn't count towards your 500 words. We'll want (minimally) a bio and a head shot. Only contributions with associated bios (including head shot, and description of background) will be considered for contributions to the book. We may include the bios and head shots in the print version of the book. You may use an icon that's associated with you instead of a picture. Please keep your author page up to date.
For those of us who aren't regular mediawiki users, how is the head shot to be added? To add a head shot, first use the "Upload file" under Toolbox (on the left side) to put the file on the server. Then use a tag like [[Image:filename.jpg]] in the bio.
- Please also add your snail-mail address and email address to the Addresses page. This information will not be released when the site goes public. We need to keep track of it so that we can send you a comp copy of the print book when it's available, and in case O'Reilly's legal department decides we need to get explicit releases from all the contributors prior to publication. (Hmm. The latter can probably be handled with email.) If you still don't want to disclose your contact info (and I cannot promise that this site won't "leak" out to the rest of the world), please still add your name to Addresses, and write "I'd prefer not to" or something like that. Then send me your contact info.
- Please, no illustrations and no code. We want principles of software architecture, not detailed coding examples. 250 - 500 well-chosen words can say a lot more than a picture. Please keep contributions product- and technology-agnostic. For example, don't talk about using Java over C#; just talk about principles that are valid across software technologies.
- Please edit your own contribution only.
- Please keep this URL private sharing it only with people you invite personally. Don't link to it, digg it, put it on your web pages, send it out to a mailing list, etc. First, it's only temporary. This book will not live within O'Reilly commons indefinitely. Second, we'd like to keep this under wraps until we have a decent block of material to release.
- All contributions made to this site are required to be made under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. This means that by making a content contribution, you are agreeing that it is licensed to us and to others under this license. If you do not want your content to be available under this license, you should not contribute it.
- You warrant that all work that you contribute to this site is your original work, except for material that is in the public domain or for which you have obtained permission.
The Good Stuff
Contribution 21 shows how we want you to structure contributions.
We're looking forward to working with you.
Richard Monson-Haefel, Curl Inc.
Mike Loukides, Editor, O'Reilly Media, Inc.
Please add your contributions here. Go into edit mode for this section to see how to add a new contribution.
Annotations: We are annotating contributions with either "Accepted" which means the axiom as its currently written has been accepted into the book (copy editing pending) or suggested edits. Any contribution that does not say Accepted will need more work in order to be included. We will try to be as explicit about what needs to done as possible. All contributions whether they are Accepted or not will be put on the web site when we go live on July 15th. In other words, Accepted means O'Reilly has chosen that contribution to be in the paper book; all contributions will be on the web site for everyone to enjoy whether they are Accepted or not.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. - (AP) -- A man accused of killing a suburban Philadelphia teenager and dismembering his body with a chain saw in a drug dispute four years ago has been convicted of first-degree murder and could face the death penalty.
Jurors in Delaware County deliberated for less than three hours Friday before convicting Laquanta Chapman, 33, of Coatesville in the disappearance of 16-year-old Aaron Turner, The Daily Local News of West Chester (http://bit.ly/VYjekT ) said. Jurors are to return Thursday to hear arguments on whether Chapman should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without possibility of parole.
Investigators alleged that Chapman forced Turner into the basement of a Coatesville home in October 2008, stripped him, shot him and then dismembered his body with two chain saws, leaving the remains along the road in trash bags for pickup. Turner's remains were never found. Read More

Django-live-profiler is a low-overhead data access and code profiler for Django-based applications. Profiling Web applications on a development environment often produces misleading results due to different patterns in the data, different patterns in user behavior, and differences in infrastructure. All existing DB access profiling solutions for Django seem to focus on a single request, but in the real world certain queries might be negligible in a single request while still putting a considerable strain the database across all requests. Django-live-profiler aims to solve these issues by collecting database usage data from a live application.
Zorka is a sophisticated programmable profiling/monitoring agent for Java suitable for running with production applications. The agent integrates seamlessly with popular monitoring systems and protocols (Zabbix, Nagios, syslog, SNMP) and offers additional tracing/profiling capabilities that - along with the accompanying data collector - help with spotting performance issues and general problems. The agent also exposes JMX data to conventional monitoring systems. Platforms (more or less) supported out of the box include: JBoss 4/5/6/7, Wildfly 8, Tomcat 6/7/8, Jetty 6/7/8/9, Websphere, Weblogic, GlassFish 4.0, WSO2 ESB, Mule ESB, and Jasig CAS. There is also dedicated support for the popular Java libraries Spring, Quartz, CXF, and Axis 1.x. The agent should run on most other platforms with limited functionalities (that is, lack of support for platform-specific features). It works with JDK6, JDK7, and JDK8. JDK5 support is also possible after preprocessing the agent binary with retrotranslator. Functionality can be easily added by implementing simple BSH scripts.
Embedded Profiler is low-overhead C++ profiler based on automatic instrumentation of functions done by the compiler (GCC, MinGW, or MSVC). Profiling can be done either automatically or manually. Automatic profiling generates a complete call tree and needs no modification of code. Manual profiling requires using the EProfiler API to specify the parts of code to be profiled. The resulting log can be opened in Performance Analyzer, a GUI application with several views designed for comfortable log analysis.
LightProfiler provides performance analysis of Oracle databases. It generates detailed resource profiles for extended SQL trace files, containing information about the consuming of response time (by events, by cursors, etc.), data file usage, error analysis (SQL, PL/SQL), and much more. It also contains tools for additional processing of trace files (extracting session data, splitting files) and for management of a database's sessions (disconnecting, tracing, monitoring parameters, blocking locks, events, etc.).

Spring in the North Carolina mountains is like a breath of warm air. You can smell the first wildflowers and hear the songs of the first spring birds.

After the brown coldness of winter, all birders probably celebrate spring more than most folks I know of.
It was a chilly, gorgeous spring morning the day our birding group met. We began at Van Wingerden in Mills River, where song sparrows always seem to be the first birds to sing in the chilly mornings.
Swamp and savannah sparrows are just winter visitors to our area, but at this time of the year, we sometimes get to hear their spring songs as well for just a brief few weeks. Swamp sparrows tend to hide in the thickets, but savannah sparrows are always in the open, their lisping songs barely giving away their locations.
We also saw several gleaming Eastern meadowlarks, their bright yellow breasts catching the sun's rays. These birds are always associated with the open fields, but in many areas of the mountains, their songs seem to be a thing of the past as more and more open fields give way to marching development.
The wastewater treatment plant in Mills River is always a great place to check for waterfowl, and this winter it has been home to quite a few ducks. Today we had both lesser scaup and bufflehead, both of which are diving ducks. They spend most of their time under the water as they feed on small crustaceans and plant materials.
Swallows are often amongst the first birds to arrive and seem to epitomize spring. We found both tree and northern rough-winged swallows as they skimmed the pond's surface looking for insects.
On nearby Hooper Lane, we were treated to excellent views of northbound migrant pectoral sandpipers and Wilson's snipe as they moved north feeding on invertebrates on the bare ground. American kestrels feed out in the open country, and they are often seen perched on the irrigation system scanning the ground below for insects and other small prey items. They must have been moving north this week as at least three were hunting in the fields that morning.
Many of these birds are wintering species, but we were after newly arriving spring birds. The first to usually arrive are the energetic and hyperactive blue-gray gnatcatchers. These tiny birds are surprisingly hardy for their size, and it's not uncommon for them to be back way before the start of warm weather. How they can find enough insect food to eat is always surprising.
Another early arrival that we heard and saw briefly was the Louisiana waterthrush. As they are associated with freshwater rivers, they can easily arrive back before the onset of leaf cover, and their loud ringing songs are perfect for broadcasting over the sound of rushing water.
It won't be long now before our woodlands and forests are alive with spring birds, and we just got a taste of that. We have many more day trips planned for the spring, and all have been designed to see and enjoy as many spring birds as possible, as well as wildflowers and butterflies, which all add to our enjoyment of spring.

PySite is not a CMS in the traditional sense. Rather, you manage the contents of a Web site via a file manager interface, which gives you access to all settings (pages, styles, plugins, etc.). Compose your pages with Jinja templates, and edit your code comfortably with syntax highlighting in the ACE editor. You may write your stylesheets in Sass and let the integrated compiler write CSS files. PySite also contains a facility to manage virtual mailboxes, in case you maintain your own SMTP and IMAP server, e.g. with Postfix and Dovecot.

Senate Republicans have once again blocked President Obama's nominees. Despite a deal in July to let several of the president's picks go through, the rancor has returned with a fresh batch of appointments. Two nominations failed within less than an hour on Thursday, and Democrats may once again threaten to change Senate rules so Republicans can't easily derail another nomination.
