Quick turn-around for Peterson
: : Story
Jeff Dahn
Saturday, February 12, 2011
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Right-hander Nolan Peterson looked incredibly sharp during his two morning pitching sessions Saturday (Feb. 12) at the Perfect Game Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase at Perfect Game headquarters.
It's not unusual for Peterson to be rock-on solid. His fastball has reached the low 90s (mph) in the past and was settling in at 87 and 88 Saturday morning.
"He challenges hitters on both sides of the plate and has a hard sweeping 10-4 slider to finish hitters off," a PG blogger who observed his outing wrote. "He looks to get ahead with his fastball, often working underneath hitters' hands to get ahead before putting them away with off-speed (pitches)."
It was an astute observation to be sure, but what made the outing "incredible" was its timing.
When Peterson first stepped on the mound in one of PG's two main batting cages a little after 9 a.m., he had already been out of his own bed in Milwaukee for well more than five hours and had endured a four-hour road-trip. He said he grabbed some breakfast at a McDonalds and was at Perfect Game headquarters by 8:30 a.m.
"I'm awake now, so I'm good," he said between his two morning pitching sessions.
After throwing for about 30 minutes, Peterson and his parents jumped right back into their car and headed back to Milwaukee with the idea of arriving in time for Nolan to play in a 3 p.m. church league basketball game.
That's a pretty quick turn-around.
"It's worth it," Peterson said. "I've been doing this for awhile now, so I'm used to it. I've been to about five or six of these (Perfect Game events) now, and I've liked all of them."
Perfect Game ranks Peterson as the No. 2 top prospect in the state of Wisconsin and No. 494 nationally. He has participated in seven PG events or leagues, including the 2010 WWBA World Tournament in Jupiter, Fla., the 2009 PG Underclass World in Fort Myers, Fla., and a pair of PG WWBA Kernels Foundation Championships at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids.
Peterson has signed to play collegiately at Jacksonville (Fla.) University, an NCAA Division I school that is a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference. The Dolphins are coached by veteran skipper Terry Alexander with a big assist from associate head coach/recruiting coordinator/pitching coach Tim Montez.
Peterson said the Florida weather and the JU coaching staff is what sealed his decision.
"First off, location – it's in Florida and I can't really complain about that," he said with a laugh. "And then, their coaching staff just took it over the top for me. They have one of the top pitching coaches in the country."
In the last 20 years, Montez has coached, recruited or worked with 15 Major League pitchers, including Barry Zito, Cliff Lee and Matt Garza.
It was Montez who recruited Peterson to Jacksonville after seeing many of the same things the pro scouts and PG personnel saw Saturday.
"Nolan has a strong wiry frame with a loose arm, throws from a low three-quarter slot and has tremendous two-seam run," Montez said after Peterson signed his letter-of-intent in early November. "He is a very good athlete who fields his position well, and really knows how to control the running game."
Peterson was a member of the USSSA National Team that played in Japan last summer and has been a member of the Racine Hitters summer travel team the last three years.

In the Flower Streets of the Village of Corona del Mar. 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport, 45 minutes from Los Angeles, but a world unto itself.
The beautiful beaches of Big Corona and Little Corona are a short walk, as this property is located on the Ocean Side of Rte 1 (Pacific Coast Highway).
The village of Corona del Mar hosts great restaurants, shopping and is just minutes away from Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove and Newport Coast.
The property hosts an upper unit with a quiet married couple. There are no shared walls, and there are separate garages and entrances.
The front deck has a retractable set of folding doors that allow indoor/outdoor living between the living area and the deck. Wonderful for warm afternoons and evenings. Ocean breezes included. :-)
Keywords: Open Floorplan, Remodeled Interior, Corona del Mar, big corona, goldenrod footbridge
I love the ocean both for walks and for amazing swims. Being able to walk home from the beach, shower and enjoy the restaurants of CDM is incredible.
John purchased this house in 2009
A short walk to the sand among gorgeous unique homes.
A convenient village full of great shops.
Great Hiking and Biking in Crystal Cove and Laguna Beach
Early Morning walks with Coffee along the seacliffs.
People watching at the local starbucks.
Owner was very helpful. Property and area perfect for an amazing vacation
We stayed in John's fun bungalow to celebrate my daughter's PhD. graduation from UC Irvine. House was great -- all amenities incl. fully equipped kitchen; BBQ; outdoor gas fireplace (we used it every night); beach buggy complete with chairs, umbrella and games. We walked to the beach; biked all over; hit the farmers market at PCH and Marquerite; slept 5 comfortably; ate out (endless choices) and ate in. Wish we'd found the house before. We'll come back to Corona del Mar. Thanks John.
John (the owner) was very helpful and responsive. His place worked out perfectly for our family of 5 (3 adult aged kids). Easily walkable to the beach. Nicely appointed unit with all we needed. We really enjoyed the firepit on the front deck! We plan to come back.
Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. Nice quiet neighborhood. The owner was helpful. We want to rent this home next year.
We really enjoyed staying in this home! The location is perfect - walk to the beach, walk to restaurants, walk to shopping. The deck and fire pit are a fabulous gathering place every evening! Kitchen and baths are well appointed - and the full size washer and dryer a great bonus! We would love to stay here again!
My family and I had the fortune of stumbling onto this vacation rental thanks to a work conference at the neighboring Newport Center. But it was thanks to this vacation rental that my work trip felt like a vacation! The house is tastefully decorated, and has every amenity you could think of... Jets in the oversized tub in one of the TWO bathrooms, huge patio with blankets and gas firepit (perfect for sipping a post-sunset cocktail while taking in the ocean breeze!), a fully-equipped kitchen and dining room. There are even board games and classic movies in the cupboards if you are so inclined. The other huge draw of this place is its proximity to everything. Go out, stay in, take a picnic to the beach. All can be done on foot. A former post claimed a 13 minute walk to the beach, but it's only that long if you stop to look at all the beautiful houses and landscapes along the way (which you will)! All in all, I can't say enough good things about this place. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!
The Beaches are wonderful, just a few minutes walk to soft sand and blue water.
The nightlife of Corona del Mar Village with its wonderful restaurants and boutiques is around the corner.
Newport Coast, Crystal Cove and Laguna Beach are close by. Huntington Beach, Balboa Island and the Peninsula are a fun bike ride away.
Fashion Island is a few minutes by car and features wonderful shopping, restaurants, as well as the new luxurious Island Cinema.
John Wayne Airport is 10-15 minutes away.

The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown (Paperback)Daniel Coyle
Paperback Published: 04/03/2010
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Talent. You've either got it or you haven't.' Not true, actually. In The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that, far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth, ability really can be created and nurtured. In the process, he considers talent at work in venues as diverse as a music school in Dallas and a tennis academy near Moscow to demostrate how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. He explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward. He reveals why some teaching methods are so much more effective than others. Above all, he shows how all of us can achieve our full potential if we set about training our brains in the right way.

An amalgam of Sprint's UpStage and the iPhone, this patent describes an interface in which a rear touchscreen accepts input and reflects that input on the front screen. Confused yet? It works like this. Because a Nano-sized… Read More
CPC Strap: Potentially Better Than an Arab Strap
Oh… my… God. We get stuff in our mailbox that causes us to pause, puke a little, and move on. But this, friends, will not allow us to move on. It screams at us from the depths — "POST ME!

I am still trying to workout separation of function and how it applies to class creation and namespace inclusion. I have a custom class SoftwareComponent which when presented to the user will most often appear as a ListItem. Is creating a ToListItem method a good idea? I worry because I have now placed a dependency in the class which will require the inclusion of the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.
public ListItem ToListItem()
ListItem li = new ListItem();
li.Text = ComponentName + " (+" + ComponentCost + ")";
li.Selected = Selected;
return li;
My other inclination is to create a ListItem from the SoftwareComponent based on its properties outside of the class itself. Please provide any thoughts on which approach is more appropriate/better.

A report from the Comic-Con 2016 Trek Talk panel "Star Trek and NASA Boldly Go."
For John Carney, "Once" apparently is not enough. The Irish writer/director who serenaded the world with that wee Dublin fairy-tale sensation from 2006 is back again to tease audiences with another song-filled variation on his signature brand of platonic lust in "Begin Again."
With its cast of extremely likable performers, the perfect summer-in-the-city backdrop—in this case, New York—and a soundtrack stuffed with catchy, well-produced hits, "Begin Again" makes for easy-breezy entertainment. And it provides the perfect alternative to certain obnoxious boy toys that will be mangling the box office into their own private playpen this weekend.
The one fly in this perfectly fine ointment: Carney's idea of romance leaves me frustrated. Not that the guy isn't fully capable of being a matchmaker. The stars of "Once," Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, turned into a real-life couple for a while after working together. But onscreen, the filmmaker likes to keep sexual combustibility on a simmer while never fully turning up the heat—as if even a mere kiss would scorch the sacred essence shared by spiritual soul mates.
Some might prefer that approach as opposed to more clichéd male-female entanglements. But think what would have happened if Carney had made "When Harry Met Sally…". That classic funny valentine would probably end with the two leads exchanging a handshake, a knowing look or even just a heartfelt thank-you while agreeing that, yes, they should just be friends.
Sadder yet, we would never get to hear Harry's memorable New Year's Eve admission to Sally: "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
Don't you just want to sigh after reading that?
Probably the only time I sighed during "Begin Again," which used to carry the more provocative title "Can a Song Save Your Life?" when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, was the sight of Mark Ruffalo's scruffy record-label exec, Dan, as he doffs his undies before jumping into the shower. No one can blame Catherine Keener, in yet another of her string of estranged bitter wife roles (OK, she is good at them), for sneaking a sly peek after turning down his offer to join him in his sudsing.
Basically, a movie can't help but be bettered by the presence of this gloriously hirsute actor with the killer smile, unruly curls and bedroom eyes. That's true even if Ruffalo is a cash-strapped boozehound of a loser who is desperate to find a musical discovery that will restore his status in the industry, give him a reason to pull his life back together and allow him to pick up a bar tab once in a while. But as he proved early in his career as the feckless brother in "You Can Count on Me," Ruffalo is nothing if not eminently redeemable.
His savior ends up being Keira Knightley as Gretta, a British singer-songwriter introduced at an open-mike night at an East Village saloon after her smug, self-involved and pretentious rock star ascendant American boyfriend (Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and TV's "The Voice," basically playing off his public persona to the hilt) cheats on her while leaving her to fend for herself in the big city. It's an event that, since she is an intuitive Artiste with a capital A and an "e" at the end, spontaneously inspires the ditty she performs hours later.
"Begin Again" is aptly named since it, indeed, recounts the same day over again in its opening sequences before Gretta and Dan meet after her performance. First, it is told from Dan's point of view as his haphazard behavior negatively affects all he encounters, especially his neglected teen daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). Then we witness Gretta's version, as she learns her squeeze for the past five years has cheated on her. How? By listening to the lyrics of his new song. See, she is quite the intuitive Artiste.
From there, a drunken Dan and an intrigued Gretta decide to make a demo album all on their own, along with some seed money courtesy of a rap impresario (a large and in charge Ceelo Green, basically playing off his public persona to the hilt) who owes a debt to Dan for his career. And because they want to keep it real, as Artistes are wont to do, they will be recording everything outdoors—in alleys, on rooftops, in the subway—allowing the city to add its own music. It's all very green, natural, sincere and reeking of integrity.
Of course, making an audio baby together brings the pair closer (but never THAT close), although they both influence the choices each makes afterwards. What follows isn't always predictable and that is admirable. However, as good as Knightley is in the role, Gretta continues to be more of an idealized muse and less a fully-rounded person. How darn retro-cute (and somewhat nauseating) is it that she has Frank Sinatra's "Luck Be a Lady Tonight," Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" and Dooley Wilson's "As Time Goes By" on her digital playlist?
A higher budget and actual stars allow Carney to add a not-displeasing gloss to "Begin Again" and he has terrific taste in actors, including James Corden as Gretta's busking buddy who is about to break out in "One Chance" and "Into the Woods" later this year. And, yes, Knightley can warble well enough in a feathery emo-rock way about assorted heartaches—imagine Alanis Morrisette after downing too many breath mints and a Valium.
Ultimately, any movie that is driven by music should leave you humming as you leave the theater. Whether it's the tunes or Ruffalo that causes you to feel that way, it is all good enough.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
JNS.org covers the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Editors and writers regularly present breaking news, analysis and opinion from the Jewish perspective on one of the most widely covered Middle East issues facing the world today. To select another topic, choose from the other content "categories" in our navigation bar.
Since the declaration of a final cease-fire between Israel and Hamas last month, there has been very little movement to resolve the situation in Gaza. With the Middle East preoccupied by the threat of Islamic extremism as well as the growing rivalries between Arab states over how to handle these threats, there appears to be little appetite in the Arab world to deal with the Palestinian issue. "It is striking to me that even during [this summer's] Gaza war, you were seeing widespread demonstrations in Europe, but not in the Arab world," Elliott Abrams, who served as deputy national security advisor for President George W. Bush, told JNS.org.
SDEROT—With only a short time to recover from their jet lag, a group of 51 Evangelical Christian pastors representing every U.S. state and the District of Columbia embarked on a journey to the frontline of the recent Gaza conflict as part of a three-day mission organized by Christians United For Israel (CUFI).
The Facebook page of Arab-Israeli journalist Khaled Abu Toameh was recently removed following complaints about his posts, which are highly critical of the Palestinian Authority and the Kingdom of Jordan. The award-winning journalist reflected on the incident in an interview with JNS.org. "The prevailing concept in the Arab World is that if you are not with us, you are against us," Abu Toameh said, adding that "a Palestinian journalist is expected to be loyal to the cause of Palestinian nationalism."
The same reports of tension between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that persisted leading up to November's U.S. election have re-emerged before Israelis head to the voting booth on Jan. 22. In an article for Bloomberg published Tuesday, journalist Jeffrey Goldberg—who is thought to have good access to the White House—wrote that in the weeks following the United Nations vote to give the Palestinians non-member state status, Obama said privately and repeatedly, "Israel doesn't know what its own best interests are."
In his 2008 book, The Much Too Promised Land, Aaron David Miller recounted a conversation with President Barack Obama's reported defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel as follows: "The American Israel Public Affairs Committee comes knocking with a pro-Israel letter, Hagel continued, and 'then you'll get eighty or ninety senators on it. I don't think I've ever signed one of the letters'—because, he added, they were 'stupid.'" Hagel, who served in the Senate from January 1997 to January 2009, was telling Miller the truth about his letter-signing history. JNS.org presents the highlights of letters signed by large majorities of the U.S. Senate, noting whether Hagel signed or not.
In recent years, the Palestinian leadership, often with the help of the mainstream media in the U.S. and Europe, has been successful in its effort to divert all attention only toward Israel. Khaled Abu Toameh, an Arab Muslim journalist who has been covering Palestinian affairs for nearly three decades, presents a list of 10 "inconvenient truths" that he says Palestinian leaders would prefer you not know.
Israeli President Shimon Peres ignited a controversy by expressing optimism about the Jewish state's relationship with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas. "I have known Abu Mazen [Abbas] for 30 years and no one will change my opinion about him, even if they say that I can't express this opinion because I am president," Peres told a group of 160 Israeli ambassadors and diplomatic representatives from around the world Sunday. "The president should be allowed to evaluate people according to his experience. [Abbas] is a man with whom we can reach an agreement."
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak gave the order on Monday to officially accredit Ariel University Center of Samaria as a full-fledged university, making it the first Israeli university to be located beyond the 1949 Green Line. The ruling "sends a clear message that Ariel will forever stay part of Israel," said Likud-Yisrael Beytenu Coalition Chairman MK Zeev Elkin.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accused the international community of "deafening silence" in response to vows by Hamas to fight on until the Jewish state is destroyed. Netanyahu's tough words came after the European Union warned Israel of unspecified consequences if it goes through with construction plans in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim.
Judaism is punctilious in its adherence and respect to agreements and contracts. Yet many American Jews who believe in the rule of law for our religious, civil and criminal justice systems and the binding nature of contracts seem to allow their sensibilities to be changed in regard to the binding agreements made by Palestinian Arabs such as the Oslo accords, writes StandWithUs/New York office co-chair Eric R. Mandel.
It is time to recognize that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not the most important conflict in the region, nor the most dangerous one, writes JNS.org Shillman Analyst Ben Cohen. Otherwise, we will permit regional leaders to divert attention from their own wrongdoings onto the plight of the Palestinians, according to Cohen.
After eight days of fighting, Operation Pillar of Defense came to a close, and now all that can be done is wait for the results. During the night following the Israel-Hamas cease-fire announcement, there was sporadic rocket fire for several hours after the 9 p.m. deadline went into effect, but none after midnight. In all, 12 rockets were fired into Israeli territory after the deadline. The Israel Air Force has ceased all activity in the Gaza Strip. If the calm holds, reserve soldiers called up to prepare for a potential ground invasion will begin to be sent home in coming days.
An explosive device was detonated inside a bus on Tel Aviv's Shaul Hamelech Street at noon on Wednesday in what Israeli police said was a terror attack. Magen David Adom medical services said 20 people were wounded in the attack. The bomb blew out the windows on the vehicle, a 76 line bus belonging to the Dan company, causing extensive damage but no fatalities.
On Nov. 20, for the sixth consecutive year, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) recognized the innovative technology and business acumen that characterizes the Jewish state at its "Israel Day. The event took place in the midst of high tension from ongoing Gaza rockets, but even as Israelis were forced into shelters, the Tel Aviv stock exchange rose 28 points.

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/109,837, entitled ASSIGNING SUBPATH ATTRIBUTES IN A DRAWING filed Apr. 19, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,256,785 which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
Drawings are used to express ideas visually on the web, in print or in other media. Drawings can be created and edited in software using various drawing applications. A typical drawing includes a plurality of paths, each of which has a region attribute, such as color. Paths in a drawing are typically assigned a single color along the entire length of each path. When a path is edited, the entire path retains the same color as before the edit. Coloring subpaths of the path is typically not possible in a straightforward way. To color subpaths of the path, the path needs to be separated into independent paths and colored individually. However, the subpaths are no longer part of the same path. The original path is lost and can no longer be manipulated as a single path. It would be useful to have a way to assign attributes to subpaths in a drawing and maintain consistency of subpath attributes across edits.
Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a composition of matter, a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network wherein program instructions are sent over optical or electronic communication links. In this specification, these implementations, or any other form that the invention may take, may be referred to as techniques. A component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task includes both a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task. In general, the order of the steps of disclosed processes may be altered within the scope of the invention.
A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the invention is provided below along with accompanying figures that illustrate the principles of the invention. The invention is described in connection with such embodiments, but the invention is not limited to any embodiment. The scope of the invention is limited only by the claims and the invention encompasses numerous alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. These details are provided for the purpose of example and the invention may be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For the purpose of clarity, technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the invention has not been described in detail so that the invention is not unnecessarily obscured.
A set of paths on a plane can intersect themselves or each other to define a set of subpaths. When an edit is made to the drawing, some of the subpaths may be modified. Attributes can be assigned to the subpaths based on an analysis of the current paths and previous attributes and paths.
Subpaths can be given different attributes. Modifying the paths in the set creates current subpaths. Attributes can be assigned to these current subpaths to be consistent with the attributes of the previous subpaths, as more fully described below.
In this example, drawing 100 is shown to include three paths: the ellipse 1, the line segment 2, and the self-intersecting path 3. There are two end points, a and b, and five intersections, c through g. Paths 1 and 3 are examples of closed paths. Path 2 is an example of an open path. In the following figures, paths are identified with circled numbers. Intersections are identified with lower-case letters, and subpaths are identified with upper-case letters.
Drawing 100 is shown to include 11 subpaths:
A path 2 from a to c
B path 2 from c to d
C path 2 from d to b
D path 1 from c to d
E path 1 from c to e
F path 1 from d to f
G path 1 from e to f
H path 2 from e to f
J path 2 from e to g
K path 2 from f to g
L path 2 from g to g
Different attributes can be assigned to different subpaths. As used herein, attribute or color refer to any attribute of a region, path, subpath, or shape. In any of these examples, other attributes can be used, including, but not limited to, color, absence of color, a pattern (e.g., hatching), a texture, a gradient, a portion of an image, or an abstract attribute, such as an identifier.
For example,
A is medium-thick red
B is medium-thick green
C is thick pink
D is thin black
E is medium-thick dashed blue
F is medium-thick brown
G is invisible
H is very thick purple
J is very thick patterned
K is dotted orange
L is very thin red.
If the subpaths in
For example,
As used herein, the drawing prior to the modification comprises a set of parameterized paths with identifiers (called the "previous set"; paths in it are called "previous paths" and subpaths defined by these paths are called "previous subpaths"). After the modification, the drawing comprises a current set (called the "current set" of "current paths", defining "current subpaths"). For example, the current set could include the previous paths, with some paths deleted, some paths added, and some paths modified. The colors of current subpaths can be assigned based on the colors of previous subpaths, as more fully described below.
In some embodiments, each path is associated with a direction. For example, the direction could be defined by its parameterization. The path can be said begin at the point with a 0 parameter and end at the point with the highest parameter. If one traverses a path from beginning to end, certain things may be said to be on the left side of the path or on the right side of the path.
In some embodiments, each path in a set is given an arbitrary but unique identifier that persists across modifications. Paths added to the set are given an identifier different from any already in the set. A vertex, as used herein, refers to an end point or intersection along a path.
If a path has been added (402), subpaths along that path are not assigned any attributes unless they are also subpaths along a different current path. If the path intersects a previous path, it divides a previous subpath into two or more current subpaths. Each of these subpaths is assigned the attributes of the corresponding previous subpath (404).
For example,
Drawing 508 shows how attributes can be assigned to the subpaths in drawing 506. Path 3 divides previous subpath A into two current subpaths, A′ and A″. These two subpaths are given the attributes of A (red). Path 3 also divides previous subpath B into B′, B″, and B′″. These three subpaths are given the attributes of B (green). Subpath C is unchanged by the addition. There are four current subpaths along path 3. One of them, B′, has already been given attributes as part of previous subpath B; the other three are not given attributes. The unattributed subpaths are still shown for illustrative purposes; if the attributes being used are visible attributes, they would become invisible.
Returning to
For example,
Drawing 608 shows how attributes can be assigned to the subpaths in drawing 606. When path 3 is removed from the set, the current subpath A is given the attributes of A″ (brown) because of the two previous subpaths A′ and A″ that were divided by 3, A″ is the longest. Similarly, the current subpath B is given the attributes (dark green) of subpath B″. Subpath C remains unchanged.
In this example, the path in the previous set with the same identifier is found (702). It is determined whether all subpaths along the previous path have the same attributes (704). If it is determined that all subpaths along the previous path have the same attributes, these attributes are assigned to all subpaths along the current path (706). The process returns to (702) for the next path.
If it is determined that all subpaths along the previous path do not have the same attributes, then it is determined whether the path, intersecting paths, and number of vertices are the same as the previous path (708). If the current path is identical to the previous path, and every path that intersects the current path is identical to the previous version of that path, and there are the same number of vertices along the current path and the previous path, the attributes of each subpath along the previous path are assigned to the corresponding subpath of the current path (706), in parameterization order. In this case, nothing has changed along the path. The process returns to (702) for the next path.
If it is determined that the path, intersecting paths, and number of vertices are not the same as the previous path, then for each vertex in the current path, the vertex in the previous path that most closely matches is found (710). Vertex matching is more fully described below. Attributes are assigned to the subpaths of the current path (712). In some embodiments, the attributes are assigned based on the vertex matches, as more fully described below. The process returns to (702) for the next path (not shown).
1. The value of the path's parameterization at the vertex and the identifiers of each path that goes through this vertex.
2. For each path that goes through the intersection, other than the path being examined at its current parameterization, it is determined:
2a. Whether it begins or ends at the vertex, and, if so, whether it proceeds to or comes from the left of the path being examined, to the right of the path being examined, or along the path being examined.
2b. Whether it crosses the path being examined at that vertex, and if so, whether it crosses from the left side of the path being examined, or the right side of the path being examined. A path that goes through an endpoint of the path being examined is also said to cross.
2c. Whether it "bounces" off the path being examined at that vertex (intersecting but not crossing), and, if so, whether it bounces off the left or the right.
The path being examined at its current parameterization is excluded because information does not need to be gathered for the path being examined unless it's a place where the path crosses itself, and then only for the parts of the path that cross.
3. For each path that goes through the intersection, the value of that path's parameterization at the vertex.
If the same path passes through the vertex multiple times, then information is gathered for each time. If the path being examined intersects itself at the vertex, information for the intersecting part of the path is also gathered multiple times if the path self-intersects multiple times at that vertex.
For example,
In this example, all paths have arrows associated with them to show their directions. At 802, the following information is collected for each vertex of path 1:
a: parameter value 0
b: parameter value t1
c: parameter value t2
d: parameter value t3
e. parameter value t4
Returning to
For example, in drawing 806, since the information for the vertices along the current path 1 is the same as the information for the vertices along previous path 1 in drawing 804, the vertices are matched in order, (and, as described below, the attributes of the subpaths are also copied in order.)
Returning to
In this example, if the previous and current paths are open, start and end points of the previous and current paths are matched (820). If the current path is not closed, and the previous path is not closed, then the start point of the previous path is the match for the start point of the current path, and the end point of the previous path is the match for the end point of the current path.
For each vertex that does not yet have a match, exact matches, loose matches, added paths, and removed paths are determined (822). In some embodiments, the number of exact matches is the number of paths going through the vertex that match exactly in terms of identifier, crossing vs. bouncing vs. start/end, and direction. The number of loose matches is the number that go through the vertex that match by identifier but not by crossing vs. bouncing vs start/end, or direction. The number of added paths is the number of paths that go through the current vertex but not the previous vertex. The number of removed paths is the number of paths that go through the previous vertex but not the current vertex.
A geometry metric is determined for each vertex (824). The geometry metric can be any measure of how well geometric attributes of the vertices match. In some embodiments, the geometry metric is 3 if there are no exact or loose matches. Otherwise the geometry metric is the quantity
plus the quantity
The result is subtracted from 2. This metric varies from 0 (exact) to 2 (poor).
The quantity exact-matches+loose-matches is the total number of matches. The first term
is the fraction of paths going through the vertex that are either exact or loose matches. The second term
is the fraction of the matches that are exact. Each of these can vary from 0 to 1. The geometry metric can get up to 1 point for having all the paths be matching, and up to an additional 1 point for having the matches be exact. Subtracting the sum from two causes 0 be the best and 2 be the worst. The value 3, an even larger value, is used when there are no matches at all. The smaller the geometry metric, the better the match.
A parameterization metric is determined for each vertex (826). The parameterization metric can be any measure of how close two vertices are to each other. In some embodiments, the parameterization metric is he sum of the absolute values of the difference between the parameterization value for each previous matching path and the corresponding current matching path, all added to the absolute value of the difference between the parameterization values of the previous path at this vertex, and the current path at this vertex. This varies from 0 (good) and continues up (the larger, the poorer).
The parameterization metric is a way of determining how close together two vertices are. If the same path crosses the path being examined several times, there may be several vertices that have the same geometry metric. The parameterization metric indicates which of these vertices is the closest match.
The best match is determined based on the geometry metric and/or parameterization metric (828). Any appropriate rules can be used. In some embodiments, for any two vertices, the one with the lower geometry metric is the better match. If the geometry metrics are the same, the one with the lower parameterization metric is the better match. If the geometry and parameterization metrics are the same, the vertices are equally good (or poor) matches.
a: 2 exact matches, 0 loose matches, 0 added, 0 removed
Geometry match: (2+0)/(2+0+0+0)+(2/(2+0))=1+1=2 then 2−2=0 (exact)
b: 1 exact match (path 3), 1 loose match (path 2), 0 added, 0 removed
Geometry match: (1+1)/(1+1+0+0)+(1/(1+1))=1+0.5 =1.5 then 2−1.5=0.5
c: 1 exact match (path 2), 0 loose matches, 1 added (path 4), 1 removed (path 3)
Geometry match: (1+0)/(1+0+1+1)+(1/(1+0))=0.333+1=1.333 then 2−1.333=0.667
d: 1 exact match (path 2), 0 loose matches, 0 added, 1 removed (path 3)
Geometry match: (1+0)/(1+0+1+0)+(1/(1+0))=0.5+1=1.5 then 2−1.5=0.5
e: 0 exact matches), 2 loose matches, 0 added, 0 removed
Geometry match: (0+2)/(1+1+0+0)+(0/(1+1))=1+0=1 then 2−1=1
The matches, from best to worst, are a, b & d (tie), c, e. If the choice came to choosing between b and d, the parameterization metric would break the tie in this example.
Returning to
1. If there are the same number of vertices in the current range as in the previous range, or fewer vertices in the current range than in the previous range, each vertex in the current range is matched to a different vertex in the previous range.
2. If there are more vertices in the current range than in the previous range, each vertex in the previous range is matched once.
3. Whether 1 or 2 was taken, no vertex in the current range matches a vertex in the previous range that is closer in parameterization value to the start of the previous range than the current vertex before it in parameterization value.
4. The match is the best match using the metrics described in (824) and (826).
When looking for places between good matches on the current path, this is one way to ensure the following:
1. If there are the same or fewer vertices in the current range, no match is to the same previous vertex.
2. If there are more vertices in the current range, each previous vertex is used.
3. The matches never "cross".
4. It is the best such match.
In other words, this ensures that the matches do not "bunch up".
In the case of closed paths, the ranges distributed can wrap around from the end of the path to the beginning. If a closed path has only one vertex with a geometry metric of 0, the redistributed range begins at that vertex, wraps around, and also ends at that vertex. If a closed path has no vertices with a geometry metric of 0, all vertices can be redistributed.
If the out subpath from S′ and the in subpath from E′ have the same attributes, or are the same subpath, these attributes are assigned to this subpath (1202).
For example,
For the current subpath between a′ and b′, the color of the out subpath of a (the match to a′) and the color of the in subpath of b (the match to b′) are the same color, red. (In fact, they are the same subpath.) The subpath between a′ and b′ is assigned red.
For the current subpath between b′ and d′, the color of the out subpath of b (the match to b′) and the color of the in subpath of d (the match to d′) are the same color, green. (This time they are not the same subpath.) So the subpath between b′ and d′ is assigned green.
For the current subpath between d′ and e′, the color of the out subpath of d (the match to d′) and the color of the in subpath of e (the match to e′) are the same color, purple. (In fact, they are the same subpath.) So the subpath between d′ and e′ is assigned purple. The result in drawing 1206.
Returning to
1204-1. If the start vertex of the current path has moved, and the first vertex along the current path that does not match the previous start vertex has a matching vertex with a sufficiently good geometry metric (e.g., less than or equal to 1), the attributes of the in subpath of this first vertex are assigned to the branch adjacent to the start vertex.
1204-2. Otherwise the subpath is assigned the attributes of the subpath adjacent to the start vertex of the previous path.
1204-3. The same attributes are assigned to each subpath in order that has an end vertex matching to the begin point of the previous path.
For example,
In drawing 1304, the start vertex has not moved. The first subpath is assigned the color of the previous first subpath (red).
In drawing 1306, the start vertex has moved, but the next vertex b′ has a poor match (it is path 4 instead of path 2). The first subpath is assigned the color of the previous first subpath (red).
In drawing 1308, the start vertex has moved and the next vertex is a good match. The first subpath is assigned the color of the subpath going into vertex c (purple).
Returning to
1205-1. If the end vertex of the current path has moved, and the last vertex along the current path that does not match the previous end vertex has a matching vertex with a sufficiently good geometry metric (e.g., less than or equal to 1), the attributes of the out subpath of this last vertex are assigned to the branch adjacent to the end vertex.
1205-2. Otherwise the subpath is assigned the attributes of the subpath adjacent to the end vertex of the previous path.
1205-3. The same attributes are assigned to each subpath in order that has start vertex matching to the end point of the previous path.
Pairs of matching vertices that are adjacent in both the previous and current paths, but in the opposite order, are found. (In other words, in parameterization order, the previous path has vertex v1 immediately followed by v2, and the current path has vertex v2′ immediately followed by v1′.) For every such pair, if the subpath between the vertices has not yet been assigned a color, the color of the subpath between the previous matching vertices is assigned. (1206)
For example, in
Returning to
1208-1. If the start vertex has a better geometry match, or if the vertices have equally good matches and the start vertex is closer in position to its match than the end vertex is to its match, the attribute of the out subpath of the start vertex's match is assigned to the subpath.
1208-2. If the end vertex has a better geometry match, or if the vertices have equally good matches and the end vertex is closer in position to its match than the start vertex is to its match, the attribute of the in subpath of the end vertex's match is assigned to the subpath.
For example,
Returning to
For example,
Returning to
Each pair of vertices v1 and v2 in the current path satisfying the following conditions is found (1214):
1214-1. Each vertex has a geometry match of 1 or less.
1214-2. v1 comes before v2 in parameterization order.
1214-3. The out subpath of v1's matching vertex is the same as the in subpath of v2's matching vertex.
1214-4. No vertices between v1 and v2 have a match quality of 1 or greater.
For each such pair, the attribute of the out subpath of v1's matching vertex is assigned to all subpaths between v1 and v2.
For example,
Although the foregoing embodiments have been described in some detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, the invention is not limited to the details provided. There are many alternative ways of implementing the invention. The disclosed embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive.

In my application I have a big nasty query that uses 25 includes. I know that might be a bit exessive, but it haven't given us much problems and have been working fine. If I take the query generated by EF and run it manually in the database it takes around 500ms, and from the code EF uses around 700ms to get the data from the database and build up the object structure, and that is perfectly acceptable.
The problem however is on the production server. If I run the query manually there I see the same around 500ms time usage to fetch the data, but entity framework now uses around 11000ms to get the data and build the object, and that is of course not good by any measure.
So my question is: What can be the cause of these extreme differences when the query fired manually on the database is roughly the same?
