In addition to needing initial emergency treatment, many days may be needed for the disease process to run its course before recovery occurs. During this time, close monitoring and life support measures in the intensive care unit (ICU) may be needed. A vigilant team lead by a veterinarian who is specialty trained in emergency and critical care will improve the quality of care your pet receives.

Barron's, while consistently well written, has also been consistently wrong about Social Security. Back in the '30s the weekly labeled Social Security a Ponzi scheme. They were wrong then, likewise today. (They had Romney in a landslide, too, but that�s another story.) The most recent Trustees Report shows Social Security pays out more than it takes in, remaining on an unsustainable path.
However, the report lays waste to the oft-repeated, loaded phrase �Ponzi scheme." Boomers along with current Generation X and Y workers face a worst-case scenario of a 23-30 percent projected benefit cut. Ask a Madoff investor if they are getting 70-77 cents on the dollar. While one should not understate the impact a benefit reduction causes, overstating the problem dangerously impedes solutions.
Based on current projections, in 2021, Social Security taxes and interest from bond payments will be insufficient to pay current benefits. To cover the shortfall, the Trust Fund must be liquidated and by 2033 (current projections) the Trust Fund exhausts itself. But Social Security taxes still come in and the revenue stream can pay the bulk of the projected benefits (see above).
The need to liquidate Trust Fund assets assumes no changes are made to tax rates or benefits. Liberals and conservatives reach across the aisle to assail benefit cuts, and conservatives alone oppose increasing taxes. So we are left with the current scenario. I�m shocked � shocked to discover Congress unwilling to address a grave economic concern.
Often we take Social Security for granted while perilously ignoring the benefits. There aren�t many people on 30A who live solely on Social Security but there are thousands whose Social Security benefits flow through South Walton�s economy. A married couple with a maximum Social Security benefit can expect $45,000 guaranteed, $60,000 if both max out.
This floor gives planning flexibility to buy second homes, change careers or take multiple vacations � prime drivers of the South Walton macro-economy. Anyone who discounts the mathematical reality that guaranteed income from Social Security reduces a retirement portfolio�s variability is smoking financial crack.
Some combination of tax increases and benefit reductions will minimize or eliminate the �haircut� facing future beneficiaries. You can find a great resource at http://crfb.org/socialsecurityreformer/ for modeling Social Security rescue scenarios. The tool also shows the folly of sanctified liberal and conservative talking points. Making all wages subject to FICA taxes extends the Trust Fund roughly 30 years but requires benefit cuts for your grandkids and their children. Diverting 2 percent of the payroll tax to individual accounts exhausts the trust fund sooner (2028) and imposes more stringent entitlement cuts. Cast a pox on both houses.
Celebrity Citing: Recently some local hospitality workers discovered class does not necessarily accompany fame and fortune. Not meaning to crash anyone�s party but a certain music star could take a hint from Forrest Williams or Bryan Kennedy. While we appreciate all visitors ... be nice or be gone.

It's 7 o'clock on a Friday night, and Racks Fish House + Oyster Bar is hopping. Every stool at the bar that winds from inside to outside is taken. It's happy hour, and people are drinking, but they're also partaking in Buck-a-Shuck, when Racks puts Blue Points on sale for $1 a piece.
Hollywood designer Karen Hanlon oversaw the $2.75 million transformation of this former VFW into a smart contemporary room with just enough clever design details to remind you of fish houses of old. The ceiling, for instance, looks to be made of fishing net, but it's a much-more-intricate pattern of ropes, shackles, turnbuckles and eye hooks created by Miami Beach artist Andrew Reid.
Wooden tables are set with paper place mats. Striped banquettes and booths and oversize dinette chairs give diners plenty of comfortable seating choices. That busy bar is a comfortable and coveted perch.
Start dinner with oysters. The night we dined here, the choices were Blue Point, Kumamoto, Beaver Tail, Beau Soleil and Fanny Bay. Priced about $3 each, these oysters were some of the freshest I've had in a long time, served classically with mignonette and cocktail sauces. Judging by the bevy of uniformed shuckers at the raw bar, they take shellfish seriously here. In the busy months after Racks' January opening, the restaurant was selling 10,000 oysters a week — 70 percent of them raw.
Some of them are breaded and fried for the New Englander ($18), a grass-fed burger topped with crispy oysters, cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise and jalapeno. It's already a house favorite.
Chef Matthew Danaher has created a menu that perfectly balances high and low. Buffalo rock shrimp ($14), for instance, features the freshest crustaceans battered in buttermilk and flour before being fried and tossed with Buffalo sauce, peanuts and blue cheese. Tuna tiradito ($14) is all about freshness. Fresh cubes of fillet are mixed with a bit of sesame oil, sugar, citrus, scallion, avocado and peanut oil.
Surprising even to Danaher is the popularity of his roasted-beet salad ($11). The beets are roasted and then mixed with olive oil, goat cheese and a nut relish made with pistachios, almond, walnuts and pine nuts. Grapes are a surprise ingredient.
Fish tacos ($13) are overstuffed with pan-fried cod and then wrapped with a mixture of avocado aioli, shaved cabbage, lime juice, carrots, cilantro and jalapeno.
The daily fish special can be had grilled or pan-fried. Danaher says it may be trout, swordfish, tripletail, redfish, branzino or tuna. The special is priced between $22 and $34 and served with coleslaw or an interesting quinoa pilaf made with three kinds of quinoa (black, gold and red), wild rice, scallions and herbs.
Shrimp and grits ($24) is another dish soon to become a classic at Racks. Danaher uses green chile, jack cheese and butter in his grits. He brings in andouille from New Orleans and poaches the shrimp in a lobster and shrimp stock, so that each element is infused with flavor.
Danaher gets to show off his classical training with a buttery Idaho trout almondine ($22), served with his riff on solid American succotash made with beans, corn and peas. Pan-seared scallops ($24) are served with lovely tarragon-scented creamed corn.
Over the past seven years, restaurateur Gary Rack has built a solid culinary and hospitality team starting in Boca with Table 42 and Racks Downtown Eatery + Tavern. Each endeavor gets better.
I'm told he has another restaurant on the drawing board. I can't wait.

The terms Aiki jutsu and Jujutu when you refer to a traditional Japanese style, usually mean a " Ryu-Ha" i.e a system, and encompasse weapons training. The style that I did was Kazi arashi Ryu and they did throwing and locking, striking, sword and blade work, stick work, and strategy, and you could get the equivalent of a black belt in each discipline.
As with Aikido the throws and strikes were very similar to the sword and stick work, same body movements same targets, so that when you did one it was easy to change to another. some people think that Aikijuts means jujitsu mixed with Aikido or Aikido done dirty, it doesn't.Ueshibas Akido is one of many Aiki styles

UAE Gym Regrets Auschwitz (Poor) Choiced Ad Campaign
Used for illustrative purposes.
A gym that sparked an online protest by advertising fitness classes with images of a Nazi concentration camp will donate Dh3,900 to a charity that the gym's founder has yet to determine.
The Circuit Factory in Al Quoz used a black-and-white image of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp with the slogan: "Kiss your calories goodbye".
It was one of a number of images used as part of an online campaign last week. The campaign incited protests on Twitter and Facebook, prompting the gym's founder to remove the images and apologise.
The money was collected from all four of the gym's fitness classes that took place over the weekend.
"We made a terrible mistake with the adverts and this is we feel is the right thing to do," said Phil Parkinson, the founder of the two-year-old business.
"I have contacted a British group to help find a suitable charity and I want to send this money to the right people as soon as possible," Mr Parkinson said.
Other adverts in the campaign included pictures of a toilet full of faeces, accompanied by the word "bootcamps".
"It was a mistake to run [the ads] but we want to make clear that we are good people," Mr Parkinson said. "I'm just awaiting confirmation on the charity and the money will be sent immediately."

This is the greatest invention since sliced bread: A bag that lets you cook a grilled cheese sandwich in your toaster. Toastabags. At long last, my dream has come true!
Haven't you always wanted to be able to just pop a cheese sandwich in the toaster? But you can't, of course, because then the cheese would melt inside the toaster and wreck it. You just can't do that.
But now you can. Check it out. Toastabags are the answer to EVERYTHING, I tell you. Behold the genius.
Right? RIGHT?!? That video is bringing sunshine and flowers into my morning like you wouldn't believe. Because if I want a grilled cheese sandwich I have to use a pan. I know it's super easy -- I know. But then after, you have to wash that pan. Again, not a big deal. That is, unless you're a busy mom with a million things to do -- and that's when you find yourself standing in your kitchen thinking, "Aw screw it, I'll just eat this cheese sandwich raw."
I deserve better than a raw cheese sandwich! Technology will find a way. And it has. As one YouTube commenter put it, "Shutup and take my money." (Yes, he wrote "shut up" as one word. Because his brain was short-circuiting with joy.) Oh look, they will take your money. And you will spend more on shipping than on the actual bags. Maybe buy a few extras as stocking stuffers?
Now I can cross "toaster grilled cheese sandwich conundrum" off my list of World Problems to Solve. Up next: Resolving Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Or should I fold the laundry next instead?
Is this something you would use or would you just stick with the tried-and-true pan method?

Richard C. Guenther, UB college administrator
March 16, 1931 – April 6, 2013
Richard C. Guenther, an administrator at the University at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore College for a quarter of a century, died Saturday in Murray Hill, a nursing facility in Mount Morris, after a 13-year progression of Alzheimer's disease. He was 82.
Mr. Guenther, a longtime resident of North Buffalo, left the city in 2000 to move with his wife to Nunda in Livingston County. His family members credited the small-town atmosphere of Nunda with being a help and a support to the family during Mr. Guenther's illness.
A Buffalo native, Mr. Guenther – known as Dick – graduated from Hutchinson-Central High School in 1949 and earned a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and master's degree from Buffalo State College.
Early in his career he taught in the Buffalo public schools, including a stint as a middle school teacher.
For 25 years, starting in 1965, Mr. Guenther served as assistant dean of student affairs for the University at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore College. He was known as a tireless advocate for night school students in the program.
"His real gift was his deep concern for the students. He was truly an advocate, beyond the paycheck," said his son, Ray. "He took the job home with him."
He retired from that post in 1990, then did some adjunct teaching at Erie Community College, in the field of management.
Mr. Guenther was a Presbyterian and enjoyed studying the Bible. He also enjoyed gardening.
Also among his hobbies was bowling. In 1973, Mr. Guenther was awarded a prize by the American Bowling Congress for bowling a 298 game.
He and his wife, the former Doris Hadley of Buffalo, would have celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary later this month.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. April 20 in Trinity Church, Church Street, Nunda.

Being swirled around the ballroom was different from how I approached life: in control. But there I was, being blindly guided to step, turn, twirl and dip to changing tempos.
"There should be absolutely no jerking of the body," the dainty instructor shouted over Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon." "Men, you must embody rhythmic command so you can flaunt your woman seamlessly across the dance floor."
The instructor was looking at us. Was it because we were the couple engaged in a waltzing warfare of lead versus follow? Or was it because we were the couple who appeared to be fighting with one hand and grasping for balance with the other? Or was it because we were both women?
Years before, during a formal Human Rights Campaign luncheon with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as speaker, I had known it was love when I mistook a ramekin of half-and-half for ranch dressing. I pretended not to notice. The creamer began dribbling down the side of my salad plate and onto the black tablecloth. I heard her laugh. Soon the infectious giggling sent us into complete hysteria. I later would realize that my occasional flightiness was key to my future fiancée.
When people asked about how my girlfriend, Heather, and I met, I was shot with giddiness at the thought of telling the ranch dressing story. But then they would ask the follow-up question. When you have two fiercely independent and feminine women who fall madly in love, who is the dominant one in the relationship? Who is more like the man?
We answered the same way every time. We didn't subjugate ourselves to gender labels. We both wore the pants.
But secretly we kept tabs on the question of power. We employed mental score-keeping on who won more cribbage games, who said sorry first, who cooked more.
Four years into the relationship and the score was still even. When Heather expressed interest in two-stepping one night at a country-western bar, I had the ultimate solution to our relentless power struggle: ballroom dance lessons. Only one person was allowed to be the lead.
On the first day of class we were split into two groups: men and women. Men were leads, women were follows.
We were in West Hollywood. Didn't everyone get the tweet to be inclusive of same-sex relationships?
Heather and I stared each other down as the men were asked to step forward.
"Males have been chosen as leads because they are typically physically stronger and taller than females," the instructor said.
Everyone was staring. Heather and I knew that she had won every arm-wrestling match since our first date. My mediocre muscle mass fated me to follow.
Heather, armed with her 4-inch stilettos, stepped forward with the men. Click, click, click. As if the tension wasn't enough to make things awkward.
The class seemed to consist of newly engaged couples prepping for weddings and older couples trying to put some swing back into their marriages. Then there was us: the power-struggling lesbians, pioneering our fox trot across traditional ground.
"Now, men, command your ladies through an entire song," the instructor ordered. Why couldn't she simply address the class as leads and follows? It was making everyone uncomfortable.
Or was it just me? Regardless, our first couple dance was shaky. I felt vulnerable. Heather tried to fix the situation by demonstrating her gripping power around my left palm. This infuriated me. I tried to back lead us left, but she shuffle-stepped me right.
"You need to lead me better!" I demanded when we slammed into the third couple.
"You need to let me lead you!" She dug her hand firmly into my back and resentfully twirled me.
As we struggled across the ballroom dance floor, I realized that the maddening-yet-alluring quarrel was no longer about lead versus follow. The pursuit of control had become a display of out-of-control emotions. The environment made us feel insecure.
"Relax!" I heard Heather shout when she failed to trot me backward.
"You relax!" I shouted back 10 seconds after the music stopped playing.
We had caused another scene. This time everyone was staring at us because we were unapologetically arguing. Loudly.
I glanced at Heather and saw a smirk on the brink of a howl. Once again, we found ourselves rapt by hysterical laughter. For two women hungry for control, we seem to exude the opposite.
At that point, I could close my eyes and pretend we were alone. I felt her grip loosen. I felt the rhythm of our bodies sync to the four-four tempo. When I surrendered, Heather let her guard down. And we glided across that ballroom floor with giddiness.
We didn't return for the next dance class. In a failure to define who was dominant, we withdrew our need to know. As for our back-and-forth tally-keeping, we stride forward by treading lightly. Sometimes the secret to a long-lasting relationship is keeping our questions unanswered.
And sometimes we are just exhausted by the dance.

RV Care Stores Carry Fuel Cell Generators
January 20, 2011 by Bruce Hampson · 1 Comment
Brunnthal, Germany-based SFC Energy AG and the RV Care Network announced today (Jan. 20) their collaboration to distribute SFC's EFOY eco-friendly fuel-cell generators through RV Care retailers throughout Canada.
The announcement was made this morning (Jan. 20) during the opening day of the Toronto RV Show & Extravaganza at the Toronto Congress Center.
EFOY fuel cell generators are fully automated battery chargers, which start up when the battery voltage is low, charge and then revert to standby mode when the battery is fully charged. This portable energy source supplies enough electricity to operate the RV's electric appliances off-grid for several weeks. SFC Energy has sold 20,000 fuel cells in Europe, where 50 European RV manufacturers have provided the EFOY as an energy source to its customers for years.
"We are pleased to be able to provide our customers with an ideal energy supply for their RVs, which is environmentally friendly and available 24 hours a day," said Earl Mannings, vice president of the 54-dealer RV Care network. "They are now able to self-sufficiently stay in the great outdoors for several weeks, without having to worry about a sufficient energy supply."
Designed exclusively for recreation and leisure activities, the EFOY fuel cell family comes in five models offering charging capacity ranging from 600 to 2,160 watt hours per day. In Canada, the EFOY fuel cell generator is available in two models with a loading capacity of up to 2.2 kWh per day. The EFOY fuel cartridges, with five liters (1.32 gallons) or 10 liters (2.64 gallons) of fuel, will also be offered by RV Care retailers.
"We are very proud to introduce our EFOY fuel cell generator, a standard in European RV industry, in Canada," said Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG. "Enjoying the great nature of Canada with silent and emission-free electricity on board – this is how the EFOY fuel cell generator enhances the travel experience. We are particularly pleased about our collaboration with RV Care, an excellent partner with a nation-wide retail network, to cover the high demand in the Canadian market."
Visitors to the Toronto RV Show & Extravaganza, which runs through Sunday (Jan. 23) can see the EFOY fuel cell generator at the Parts Superstore exhibit (area B, booth B-3).
For more information on SFC Energy AG's EFOY line, contact SFC Energy, Inc., 7632 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855; (240) 328-6688, www.efoy.com/en.

According to this picture , Laurence and Zac are u-turning Amani and Marcus, but look there are only 6 teams, meaning that one team has already u-turned another, the only 6 left are all but Andy and Tommy, meaning Andy and Tommy were u-turned? am i right? LOL im just guessing!
Everyone else is using the canoes for some purpose.
I don't think Marcus and Amani are U-turned!!!! Look at Promo at 15 - 17 seconds. Zac's hand moves away from Amani and Marcus! While Laurence's hand was still hovering over their own photo which could be why we're speculating that A/M are U-turned by Zac and Laurence. We know that A/M and Z/L were spotted on the same plane in Copenhagen, Denmark.Even though some teams are decoys, with only 4 teams eliminated so far, I doubt that is the case.
Was it established that Laurence and Zac were the first team at the W-turn? It looks like they are using the bottom two screens.
Racing through Malawi! w/a Double U-Turn on the line, teams must choose whether to sabotage their fellow Racers for a chance @ 1st place!

To depict any team using a U-Turn on another team as sabotage is absurd. U-turns are a legitimate part of the Amazing Race, not sabotage in any way. A team does have the option of not using a U-Turn that they have reached in a position to use it and most teams elect that, but there should be no stigma for those who use the U-Turn for competitive advantage.
Also, with a Double U-Turn on the line, teams must choose whether to sabotage their fellow Racers for a chance at first place, on THE AMAZING RACE Sunday

Remembering Heroes
ST. MARYS — According to the Rev. Ed Bray, war is insane, a fact that the greatest warriors know, and warriors face battles to restore sanity.
"It is up to those great warriors to engage the battles against the insanity — where they feel the heat, where they feel the pain, where they experience the taste of their own blood, where they take their last breath of life in order for sanity to once again prevail," Bray said to a crowd gathered in Elm Grove Cemetery Monday morning for the annual St. Marys American Legion Post 323 Memorial Day Service.
Following a parade through the streets of St. Marys, area residents gathered in the cemetery to honor all who have served in the military with a service. The St. Marys All-Brass Band led the crowd in the Star Spangled Banner and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9289 Firing Squad held a salute to the dead after Larry Dieringer and Bob Hall laid a wreath to honor the dead. The event featured comments from Mayor Pat McGowan, poem readings by Brookelle Grunden and Jenna Perry, Auxiliary Unit 323 President Judy Block, American Legion Post 323 Commander Randy Micheal and Bray as the guest speaker.
Bray noted those in attendance of the service have their freedoms because of those who fought the insanity.
"It's because of those who died in the war, on the battlefield and the ships that you and I stand here free people," he said. "People of a great nation who have a great heritage, who have a great God — by whatever name we call God. We are who we are as a nation because there were those from 1776 on through today who gave their lives so that we might not have to live in insanity."
Bray shared an essay that he wrote about a trip he took with his children in which they visited the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. Bray recalled finding the name of a classmate of his on the memorial and the emotions that came over him when seeing the monument.
"I walked toward the great wall's center, and it grew taller and taller and taller with list upon list upon list of names of people — too many to read them all, too many to have died," he read. "By the time I reached the center, I was so overcome, I could do nothing but weep. Those names were people. I wept for the loss of their hopes and their dreams. I wept for their children born and for their children who never had the chance to be born. I wept for us all."
Bray said after visiting the wall, he wondered if the wall would have the same impact on future generations.
"As I walked, not able to look back at this wailing wall, I wondered if in 50 years from now people would be able to look back, look to that same plow-shaped wall and weep as we all had wept that day," he said. "I wondered if the walkway beside the wall would be so tear-stained that people of the future would know that war is cause for weeping. I hope so."
Insanity, he said, calls a group of men and women to make the world a safer place.
"When the insane happens, there are those who answer the call and go to defeat the insanity," Bray said. "They go to make this world a safer and a better place. May it never be that we ever come to a time that we forget to remember. May it never be that we come to a time when we fail to weep."

How Logistics Facilitate an Efficient Freight Transportation System
Summary of Subject Matter
Opening Statements
Chairman John J. Duncan, Jr. (R-TN)
Panel on 21st Century Freight Transportation
Hearing on How Logistics Facilitate an Efficient Freight Transportation System
June 26, 2013
Opening Statement
(Remarks as Prepared)
Today's hearing examines the correlation between logistics and a productive, efficient, and safe freight system. The movement of goods across the country may not always grab headlines, but the efficiency of freight transportation impacts the lives of every American on a daily basis. From the clothes we wear to the cars we drive to the food we eat, the freight transportation system impacts all aspects of our everyday life.
The logistics industry is valuable to the Nation's freight system because logistics improve the efficiency of the supply chain. The logistics industry adds value to the supply chain by improving the planning, implementation, and control of the flow of goods from point of origin to point of consumption.
The purpose of this panel is to provide recommendations to the Committee on ways to modernize the freight network and make the United States competitive in the 21st Century. We have been working hard towards this goal, holding multiple hearings and roundtable discussions and visiting critical freight facilities in Southern California and the greater Memphis area.
We also have a knowledgeable group of witnesses before us, today. I am interested to hear from them regarding their operations, as well as any recommendations they have on ways to improve our Nation's freight system.
First, we have David Abney, the Chief Operating Officer of UPS. UPS is the world's largest package delivery company, delivering over 16 million packages to almost 9 million customers every day.
Second, we have Tracy Rosser, the Senior Vice President for Transportation at Walmart. Walmart operates over 4,000 stores across all 50 states and is a large user of all modes of transportation.
Third, we have Ed Hamberger, President and CEO of the Association of American Railroads (AAR). AAR represents all of the Class I railroads, as well as over 170 short-line railroads and regional lines.
Next, we have Scott Satterlee, the Senior Vice President for Transportation at C.H. Robinson, testifying on behalf of the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA). C.H. Robinson is a leading third-party logistics company, and TIA is the professional organization for the third-party logistics industry.
Fifth, we have Mark DeFabis, President and CEO of IDS. Mark is testifying on behalf of the International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA). IDS is a warehouse logistics company from Indianapolis, Indiana, and IWLA represents warehouse-based logistics companies.
Finally, we have Richard Fisher, President of Falcon Global Edge, testifying on behalf of the Airforwarders Association (AfA). Falcon Global Edge is a logistics company focusing on air cargo. In his capacity as Chairman of AfA, Richard also represents 360 similar companies.
I would like to welcome our witnesses and thank them for being here today.

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
line_profiler and kernprof
line_profiler is a module for doing line-by-line profiling of functions. kernprof is a convenient script for running either line_profiler or the Python standard library's cProfile or profile modules, depending on what is available.
They are available under a BSD license.
Source releases and any binaries can be downloaded from the PyPI link.
The current release of the kernprof.py script may be downloaded separately here:
To check out the development sources, you can use Mercurial:
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/robertkern/line_profiler
You may also download source tarballs of any snapshot from that URL.
Source releases will require a C compiler in order to build line_profiler. In addition, Mercurial checkouts will also require Cython >= 0.10. Source releases on PyPI should contain the pregenerated C sources, so Cython should not be required in that case.
kernprof.py is a single-file pure Python script and does not require a compiler. If you wish to use it to run cProfile and not line-by-line profiling, you may copy it to a directory on your PATH manually and avoid trying to build any C extensions.
In order to build and install line_profiler, you will simply use the standard build and install for most Python packages:
$ python setup.py install
The current profiling tools supported in Python 2.5 and later only time function calls. This is a good first step for locating hotspots in one's program and is frequently all one needs to do to optimize the program. However, sometimes the cause of the hotspot is actually a single line in the function, and that line may not be obvious from just reading the source code. These cases are particularly frequent in scientific computing. Functions tend to be larger (sometimes because of legitimate algorithmic complexity, sometimes because the programmer is still trying to write FORTRAN code), and a single statement without function calls can trigger lots of computation when using libraries like numpy. cProfile only times explicit function calls, not special methods called because of syntax. Consequently, a relatively slow numpy operation on large arrays like this,
a[large_index_array] = some_other_large_array
is a hotspot that never gets broken out by cProfile because there is no explicit function call in that statement.
LineProfiler can be given functions to profile, and it will time the execution of each individual line inside those functions. In a typical workflow, one only cares about line timings of a few functions because wading through the results of timing every single line of code would be overwhelming. However, LineProfiler does need to be explicitly told what functions to profile. The easiest way to get started is to use the kernprof.py script.
If you use "kernprof.py [-l/--line-by-line] script_to_profile.py", an instance of LineProfiler will be created and inserted into the __builtins__ namespace with the name "profile". It has been written to be used as a decorator, so in your script, you can decorate any function you want to profile with @Profile Digital.
@profile def slow_function(a, b, c): ...
The default behavior of kernprof is to put the results into a binary file script_to_profile.py.lprof . You can tell kernprof to immediately view the formatted results at the terminal with the [-v/--view] option. Otherwise, you can view the results later like so:
$ python -m line_profiler script_to_profile.py.lprof
For example, here are the results of profiling a single function from a decorated version of the pystone.py benchmark (the first two lines are output from pystone.py, not kernprof):
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 2.48 This machine benchmarks at 20161.3 pystones/second Wrote profile results to pystone.py.lprof Timer unit: 1e-06 s File: pystone.py Function: Proc2 at line 149 Total time: 0.606656 s Line # Hits Time Per Hit % Time Line Contents ============================================================== 149 @profile 150 def Proc2(IntParIO): 151 50000 82003 1.6 13.5 IntLoc = IntParIO + 10 152 50000 63162 1.3 10.4 while 1: 153 50000 69065 1.4 11.4 if Char1Glob == 'A': 154 50000 66354 1.3 10.9 IntLoc = IntLoc - 1 155 50000 67263 1.3 11.1 IntParIO = IntLoc - IntGlob 156 50000 65494 1.3 10.8 EnumLoc = Ident1 157 50000 68001 1.4 11.2 if EnumLoc == Ident1: 158 50000 63739 1.3 10.5 break 159 50000 61575 1.2 10.1 return IntParIO
The source code of the function is printed with the timing information for each line. There are six columns of information.
- Line #: The line number in the file.
- Hits: The number of times that line was executed.
- Time: The total amount of time spent executing the line in the timer's units. In the header information before the tables, you will see a line "Timer unit:" giving the conversion factor to seconds. It may be different on different systems.
- Per Hit: The average amount of time spent executing the line once in the timer's units.
- % Time: The percentage of time spent on that line relative to the total amount of recorded time spent in the function.
- Line Contents: The actual source code. Note that this is always read from disk when the formatted results are viewed, not when the code was executed. If you have edited the file in the meantime, the lines will not match up, and the formatter may not even be able to locate the function for display.
If you are using IPython, there is an implementation of an %lprun magic command which will let you specify functions to profile and a statement to execute. It will also add its LineProfiler instance into the __builtins__, but typically, you would not use it like that. For IPython 0.10, you can install it by editing the IPython configuration file ~/.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py to add the following lines:
# These two lines are standard and probably already there. import IPython.ipapi ip = IPython.ipapi.get() # These two are the important ones. import line_profiler ip.expose_magic('lprun', line_profiler.magic_lprun)
For IPython 0.11+, you can install it by editing the IPython configuration file ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py to add the 'line_profiler' item to the extensions list:
c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions = [ 'line_profiler', ]
To get usage help for %lprun, use the standard IPython help mechanism:
In [1]: %lprun?
These two methods are expected to be the most frequent user-level ways of using LineProfiler and will usually be the easiest. However, if you are building other tools with LineProfiler, you will need to use the API. There are two ways to inform LineProfiler of functions to profile: you can pass them as arguments to the constructor or use the add_function(f) method after instantiation.
profile = LineProfiler(f, g) profile.add_function(h)
LineProfiler has the same run(), runctx(), and runcall() methods as cProfile.Profile as well as enable() and disable(). It should be noted, though, that enable() and disable() are not entirely safe when nested. Nesting is common when using LineProfiler as a decorator. In order to support nesting, use enable_by_count() and disable_by_count(). These functions will increment and decrement a counter and only actually enable or disable the profiler when the count transitions from or to 0.
After profiling, the dump_stats(filename) method will pickle the results out to the given file. print_stats([stream]) will print the formatted results to sys.stdout or whatever stream you specify. get_stats() will return LineStats object, which just holds two attributes: a dictionary containing the results and the timer unit.
kernprof also works with cProfile, its third-party incarnation lsprof, or the pure-Python profile module depending on what is available. It has a few main features:
- Encapsulation of profiling concerns. You do not have to modify your script in order to initiate profiling and save the results. Unless if you want to use the advanced __builtins__ features, of course.
- Robust script execution. Many scripts require things like __name__, __file__, and sys.path to be set relative to it. A naive approach at encapsulation would just use execfile(), but many scripts which rely on that information will fail. kernprof will set those variables correctly before executing the script.
- Easy executable location. If you are profiling an application installed on your PATH, you can just give the name of the executable. If kernprof does not find the given script in the current directory, it will search your PATH for it.
- Inserting the profiler into __builtins__. Sometimes, you just want to profile a small part of your code. With the [-b/--builtin] argument, the Profiler will be instantiated and inserted into your __builtins__ with the name "profile". Like LineProfiler, it may be used as a decorator, or enabled/disabled with enable_by_count() and disable_by_count(), or even as a context manager with the "with profile:" statement in Python 2.5 and 2.6.
- Pre-profiling setup. With the [-s/--setup] option, you can provide a script which will be executed without profiling before executing the main script. This is typically useful for cases where imports of large libraries like wxPython or VTK are interfering with your results. If you can modify your source code, the __builtins__ approach may be easier.
The results of profile script_to_profile.py will be written to script_to_profile.py.prof by default. It will be a typical marshalled file that can be read with pstats.Stats(). They may be interactively viewed with the command:
$ python -m pstats script_to_profile.py.prof
Such files may also be viewed with graphical tools like kcachegrind through the converter program pyprof2calltree or RunSnakeRun.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why the name "kernprof"?
I didn't manage to come up with a meaningful name, so I named it after myself.
Why not use hotshot instead of line_profile?
hotshot can do line-by-line timings, too. However, it is deprecated and may disappear from the standard library. Also, it can take a long time to process the results while I want quick turnaround in my workflows. hotshot pays this processing time in order to make itself minimally intrusive to the code it is profiling. Code that does network operations, for example, may even go down different code paths if profiling slows down execution too much. For my use cases, and I think those of many other people, their line-by-line profiling is not affected much by this concern.
Why not allow using hotshot from kernprof.py?
I don't use hotshot, myself. I will accept contributions in this vein, though.
The line-by-line timings don't add up when one profiled function calls another. What's up with that?
Let's say you have function F() calling function G(), and you are using LineProfiler on both. The total time reported for G() is less than the time reported on the line in F() that calls G(). The reason is that I'm being reasonably clever (and possibly too clever) in recording the times. Basically, I try to prevent recording the time spent inside LineProfiler doing all of the bookkeeping for each line. Each time Python's tracing facility issues a line event (which happens just before a line actually gets executed), LineProfiler will find two timestamps, one at the beginning before it does anything (t_begin) and one as close to the end as possible (t_end). Almost all of the overhead of LineProfiler's data structures happens in between these two times.
When a line event comes in, LineProfiler finds the function it belongs to. If it's the first line in the function, we record the line number and t_end associated with the function. The next time we see a line event belonging to that function, we take t_begin of the new event and subtract the old t_end from it to find the amount of time spent in the old line. Then we record the new t_end as the active line for this function. This way, we are removing most of LineProfiler's overhead from the results. Well almost. When one profiled function F calls another profiled function G, the line in F that calls G basically records the total time spent executing the line, which includes the time spent inside the profiler while inside G.
The first time this question was asked, the questioner had the G() function call as part of a larger expression, and he wanted to try to estimate how much time was being spent in the function as opposed to the rest of the expression. My response was that, even if I could remove the effect, it might still be misleading. G() might be called elsewhere, not just from the relevant line in F(). The workaround would be to modify the code to split it up into two lines, one which just assigns the result of G() to a temporary variable and the other with the rest of the expression.
I am open to suggestions on how to make this more robust. Or simple admonitions against trying to be clever.
Why do my list comprehensions have so many hits when I use the LineProfiler?
LineProfiler records the line with the list comprehension once for each iteration of the list comprehension.
Why is kernprof distributed with line_profiler? It works with just cProfile, right?
Partly because kernprof.py is essential to using line_profiler effectively, but mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to maintain the overhead of two projects for modules as small as these. However, kernprof.py is a standalone, pure Python script that can be used to do function profiling with just the Python standard library. You may grab it and install it by itself without line_profiler.
Do I need a C compiler to build line_profiler? kernprof.py?
You do need a C compiler for line_profiler. kernprof.py is a pure Python script and can be installed separately, though.
Do I need Cython to build line_profiler?
You should not have to if you are building from a released source tarball. It should contain the generated C sources already. If you are running into problems, that may be a bug; let me know. If you are building from a Mercurial checkout or snapshot, you will need Cython to generate the C sources. You will probably need version 0.10 or higher. There is a bug in some earlier versions in how it handles NULL PyObject* pointers.
What version of Python do I need?
Both line_profiler and kernprof have been tested with Python 2.4-2.7. It might work with Python 2.3, but does not currently work with Python 3.x.
I get negative line timings! What's going on?
There was a bug in 1.0b1 on Windows that resulted in this. It should be fixed in 1.0b2. If you are still seeing negative numbers, please let me know.
To Do
cProfile uses a neat "rotating trees" data structure to minimize the overhead of looking up and recording entries. LineProfiler uses Python dictionaries and extension objects thanks to Cython. This mostly started out as a prototype that I wanted to play with as quickly as possible, so I passed on stealing the rotating trees for now. As usual, I got it working, and it seems to have acceptable performance, so I am much less motivated to use a different strategy now. Maybe later. Contributions accepted!

Graduate Tax Program
Required and Elective Courses
A student in the Graduate Tax Program is required to successfully complete 45 quarter hours of course work for the degree (equivalent to 30 semester hours). Eight core courses totaling 30 quarter hours are required; the student will choose 15 quarter hours of elective courses. A full-time course load is 12 quarter hours—generally three to four classes. Part-time students who work full-time should take no more than two classes per quarter.
Scheduling of Classes
Courses are scheduled to accommodate the needs of three categories of students:
- The full-time student who desires to complete the Program in three quarters, beginning in the fall. We recommend that students allow four quarters (one year).
- The part-time student enrolled in courses totaling 8 quarter hours per quarter who desires to complete the Program in six or seven quarters.
- The part-time student enrolled in courses totaling 4 quarter hours per quarter who desires to complete the Program within five calendar years.
Courses for 4 quarter hours of credit typically meet twice a week for two hours a day, either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, beginning at 4:00, 6:00, or 8:00 p.m. Some courses each quarter will have multiple sections, meeting at different times. Course materials consist of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations, published textbooks, and customized materials prepared by the professors. All course materials are sold in the Graduate Tax Program office.
The Quarter System
The Graduate Tax Program operates on the quarter system. Each quarter of the academic year is approximately 10 weeks in length except for the summer quarter, which is nine weeks. The unit of credit is the quarter hour, and, in general, each quarter hour of credit represents 10 hours of classroom contact time based on a 50-minute contact hour. (Three quarter hours are equivalent to two semester hours.) Students report that they spend an average of two hours studying for every hour in class per week.

Windows Phone posted the largest year-over-year increase among the top five smartphone platforms, and in the process reinforced its position as the number 3 smartphone operating system. Driving this result was Nokia, which released two new smartphones and grew its presence at multiple mobile operators. But beyond Nokia, Windows Phone remained a secondary option for other vendors, many of which have concentrated on Android. By comparison, Nokia accounted for 81.6% of all Windows Phone smartphone shipments during 2Q13.
Over the past 12 months, Windows Phone went from 3.1% market share to 3.7%. This means that while shipments of Windows Phone devices are growing, they're barely growing any faster than the industry as a whole. Still, it's crazy to see there's less than a 10 percentages points difference between Windows Phone and iOS.
Another potential problem is that Microsoft is effectively entirely dependent on Nokia. If Nokia falters, Windows Phone falters. Other vendors have essentially lost all interest in the platform, and as such, Microsoft has a a very strong impetus in keeping Nokia going. Still, I'm pretty sure that the Surface phone is ready to go at a moment's notice.
They're going to need it.
