This course is designed to give the student a general understanding of statistical tools as they are used in making decisions. The examples and exercises emphasize interpretation and are drawn from a wide range of actual situations. Excel computer software is used to simplify complex computations. The first section covers analysis decision-making through the use of summarized descriptive data, both ungrouped and grouped. This includes the study of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion. This section then deals with decision-making based upon classical hypothesis testing. It includes the study of curve fitting, large and small sample theory, the z distribution and the student's distribution. This coverage provides the student with a working understanding of statistical inference as a guide for judgment and action. The second section deals with more complex situations in decision-making with presentation of analysis of variance and chi-square testing with one and two variables and multiple outcomes of each variable. Excel is employed to handle the more complex calculations. The third section introduces the concepts and theories of correlation and linear regression and how these are used in statistical inference.

A closing reception for artist Sharon York will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Goddard Center's Art Studios facility.
York has been a painter for many years, but once children came along her priorities changed; she returned to school and received a degree in elementary education.
However, her desire to paint was still there.
"I strive to capture the essence of my subject using contrast, composition, color and the way the light plays with the subject," York said. "The moment I first started painting, I knew I was home, even though it has taken years for me to fulfill my artistic destiny."
The Goddard Center Art Studios are located at 425 1st Ave. SW.
To ask questions, call the business office at (580) 226-0909.

GREENCASTLE — They started fast, finished strong and weathered the storm in between.
The end result was a 59-48 victory for the Greencastle-Antrim boys basketball team Tuesday night, as the Blue Devils managed to upend visiting Big Spring in a highly-contested Mid-Penn Colonial Division game.
Playing without injured point guard Zach Faulkner for the second consecutive game, G-A jumped out to a 14-3 lead by the end of the first before having its advantage diminished to 20-17 at the half.
The Blue Devils continued to appear out of sync in the third, actually falling behind with 2:45 remaining in the period prior to a 24-point fourth quarter ultimately proving to be the difference.
"Our defense was the key tonight," G-A head coach Gary Martin said. "We did a great job with it in the first and the fourth, but we got away from it during the middle portion of the game which allowed them to climb back. We gave them a different look by playing man-to-man and I was happy with the way our guys responded to it."
G-A (9-2, 5-1 MPC-Colonial) was crisp on both ends of the floor early, scoring the first 12 points of the game while holding Big Spring (4-7, 1-5 MPC-Colonial) scoreless until 1:15 remained in the opening quarter.
The production shifted over the ensuing 16 minutes, with the Bulldogs outscoring the Blue Devils 14-6 in the second quarter before taking their first lead of the game at 32-30 with 2:45 remaining in the third.
A late 3-pointer by Eli Englehart drew G-A back even prior to a Hunter Shannon lay-in sending Big Spring into the fourth quarter with a 37-35 advantage.
After being held to just eight points through the first three frames, G-A's leading scorer Joel Zola took over down the stretch, starting with a pair of jumpers followed by a pull-up 3, reclaiming the lead for the Blue Devils at 44-43.
Holden Baker extended the margin to four with another 3 on G-A's next trip before Big Spring's Ben Bailey answered with a 3 of his own on the Bulldogs' ensuing possession, returning the lead to just one.
A Brandon Puffenbarger make along the baseline kept the advantage intact, with another bucket from Zola preceding a Big Spring timeout with 2:09 remaining.
Following a Bulldogs' miss, Puffenbarger got a putback to fall on the other end, pushing G-A's advantage to five, forcing Big Spring to begin fouling with less than one minute left in regulation.
Zola was first to be sent to the line, knocking down the first before missing the second, only to have the rebound wind up in the hands of Englehart, who was immediately fouled with 56 seconds remaining.
The junior casually drained both free throw attempts, extending the lead to eight while essentially sealing the victory.
In all, seven different Blue Devils contributed points in the win, with Zola, Puffenbarger and Danny Stepler each finishing in double figures.
Ten of Zola's game-high 18 points were scored in the fourth quarter while Puffenbarger racked up 14 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Stepler followed with 11 points, including a 5-for-6 showing from the free throw line.
"We tried to keep Joel fresh and out of foul trouble through the first three quarters," Martin said. "It was nice to be able to send him out there in the fourth and tell him to play as hard as you can. Puff also played big for us tonight around the basket, using his size to his advantage. Overall, I was pleased with how all our guys stepped up without Zach out there."
Faulkner, who is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in last week's game against Middletown, could be back on the floor for Friday's showdown at Waynesboro, but no specific date for his return has been set.
Bailey and Tyler Pion both scored 13 points to pace the Bulldogs in the loss.
G-A also won Tuesday's junior varsity game, 49-45.
Logan Springs led the Blue Devils with 14 points followed by nine from both Justin Smalls and Cody Green.
Friday's varsity contest in Waynesboro is set to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Voters urged to 'look forward'
Nicola Sturgeon has insisted her focus is on the referendum not her own future as she and Alex Salmond marked 10 years as leader and deputy leader of the SNP.
The Deputy First Minister and First Minister celebrated the anniversary by meeting activists and supporters in Glasgow's Buchanan Street.
Ms Sturgeon said all her energy was going towards the campaign for independence and contended she had "no idea" where she would be in 10 years time.
Nicola Sturgeon (right) says she is focusing on persuading people to vote Yes
Reflecting on the anniversary she said: "I think we've made significant progress in those 10 years but we're looking ahead and asking people to imagine what a Scotland can look like 10 years from now if we vote Yes in two weeks time.
"It's fair to say we both hope the best moment is yet to come in two weeks time when people vote Yes and what we're asking people to do is not look back and look forward."
Mr Salmond has said he will serve out his term as First Minister if there is a No vote in the referendum on September 18.
His deputy said: "For the avoidance of any doubt I hope he does and want him to stay on till 2016 and beyond."
Ms Sturgeon has previously admitted she would like to take on the job of First Minister one day.
She told the Daily Record: ''Anybody, in any walk of life - if they are ambitious - wants to get to the pinnacle of their profession.
''So hypothetically of course that is something I would like to think that one day I will get the chance to do.''
But a sked the question again today she responded: "That's not in my mind at all at the moment. I'm focused very much on persuading folk to vote Yes. I think that campaign is going well. We've got work still to do but it's going in the right direction and that's what's getting all my efforts and all my energies at the moment.
"All I think you can do in this walk of life is to do your best, and to do what you believe in and to campaign for what you think is right. That's what I've done, that's what I'll continue to do and let the future in terms of my own or any of our own personal careers take care of itself."
Mr Salmond and Ms Sturgeon marked the anniversary by setting out their vision for Scotland over the next decade.
Setting out four key gains for an independent Scotland in 2024, Ms Sturgeon said: "The choice between No vision from a No vote and the Yes vision of opportunity in an independent Scotland can be seen from the choices we can make and the difference those choices will make to people's lives.
"The Yes vision means childcare - not Trident; job-creating powers for Scotland; protecting Scotland's NHS and a pension age that's right for Scotland - not one imposed by George Osborne."

As the quest to follow the steps outlined in the Inferential Genealogy process, I am looking into sources that I might not have done in the past.
My order from Amazon.com arrived today. Two books, but not the two I wanted. But one of them helped to make the connection in the Gettysburg program on the History Channel.
The Book, Gettysburg – Culp's Hill & Cemetery Hill, by Harry W. Pfanz (1993) puts Col. James Wallace and D. Ridgely Howard together in this book. What it points out that former "neighbors" were fighting each other on the battlefield.
The point in the story where they were at the same place at the same time, D. Ridgely Howard had been wounded on Culp's Hill and had a broken leg. The Union soldiers were approaching him, and being taken, he was asked "What made you so brave?" along with other questions, including "Do you know that you are fighting your own men?" meaning fellow Marylanders, and Howard replied, "Yes, and we intend to fight them."
He was being questioned by the 1 Maryland Regiment, Eastern Shore. The regiment commander was Col. James Wallace. He is reported to say "sorrowfully gathered up many of our old friends & acquaintances [from the Confederate battalion], & had them carefully & tenderly cared for."

Where to buy e cigarettes Ogema MN
Ever since the public became aware about the dangers of smoking a few decades ago, many people have found quitting the tobacco habit hard. Companies have been innovating and manufacturing smoking cessation products for many years now. From nicotine patches to gum, nicotine addicts have been using them to quit their habit.
Ecig shops in Ogema Minnesota
Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and electric cigarettes in Ogema, MN) are a very popular product that helps to quit smoking. They are designed to look and feel like real cigarettes, even down to emitting artificial smoke however they do not actually contain any tobacco. Users inhale nicotine vapour which looks like smoke without any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke which are harmful to the smoker and others around him.
The Electronic cigarette consists of a nicotine cartridge containing liquid nicotine. When a user inhales, a tiny battery powered atomizer turns a small amount of liquid nicotine into vapour. Inhaling nicotine vapour gives the user a nicotine hit in seconds rather than minutes with patches or gum. When the user inhales, a small LED light at the tip of the electronic cigarette glows orange to simulate a real cigarette.
The nicotine cartridges in Ogema Minnesota themselves come in various strengths. Most of the major brands, such as the Gamucci electronic cigarette have full strength, half strength and minimal strength. This is designed for people who want to quit smoking. As they get used to using the electronic cigarette, they can gradually reduce the strength they use until they quit.
These e cigs can be found in specialized local shops.
The main advantages electronic cigarettes in Ogema Minnesota have over nicotine patches or gum is firstly, users have the nicotine hit much quicker and secondly, because a big reason why smokers fail to quit suing patches and gum is because they still miss the act of inhaling smoke from a cylindrical object. The electronic cigarette emulates that even down to the smoke.
Best cheap e-cigs in Ogema 04062
The electronic cigarette is also beneficial from a financial perspective. A set of five nicotine cartridges costs is more or less equivalent to 500 cigarettes. Although the initial investment of an electronic cigarette kit in ciy may seem steep at first, users save money in the long run.
Smokeless cigarettes – where to buy e cigarettes
For a lot of people in Ogema, the best way to stop smoking is using behavior modification product that feels and looks like a real cigarette, but does not contain any harmful chemicals such as nicotine, tobacco, tar, or vapor. Since they do not contain these harmful chemicals they can also be used with conventional nicotine replacement therapies in Minnesota. Many other common smoking cessation products focus on the physical addiction to nicotine, not the more powerful psychological addiction to the "act of smoking." The only way to confront the attraction a smoker feels to an authentic cigarette is to replicate that product with a cigarette substitute, a fake-smokeless cigarette.
The MN fake cigarettes or smokeless cigarettes, not to be confused with vapor cigarettes, can be used anywhere. Instead of avoiding your friends that smoke because it is viewed as a "trigger", one can just use this product to relieve the "hand to mouth" habit most smokers find difficult to stop. The authenticity of the product makes it different from other common oral substitutes such as toothpicks or straws. It is similar to the idea of using the stress ball to reduce stress. When someone feels the itch to start smoking, they can simply use the smokeless cigarettes as a kind of calamine lotion.

Posted on March 15, 2013
The lady called to find out if her book…no. Let's say it straight out. The lady called me so I could tell her the book she had was worth enough money that she could give up scratch-off lottery tickets.
"It's really old," she told me. "It's from my grandparents' house. It's a really cool atlas, with the old names for countries and some that aren't there any more. But it doesn't have a date anywhere. Rand McNally published it, but didn't put a date on it."
There were several directions I could go from here. The first thing I look for when somebody gives me a globe, for example, is how many Germanys it has on it. Once upon a time, if there was only one, it was a good, old globe. Nowadays, I have to look at other things to be sure.
But I have done work with atlases and with Rand McNally publications. "Sometimes, in an atlas, the date is on the last page of text instead of the front," I said.
"I checked that. I found the copyright notice and everything, but no date."
This was peculiar, but I can find more peculiar things about books than that without stepping far from the phone. "It just says 'Copyright Rand McNally'?"
"That's all," she said. "And then there's a bunch of letters."
"Interesting. What letters?"
"MCM," she spelled for me, "LXXVI."
"Ah!" was all I said for a moment. I was trying to think of a nice way to tell her to hang onto that lucky penny for scratching lottery tickets.
YOU understand, I know. But in case you want to clip this for any of your friends who also were abandoned as children and home schooled by the nest of crows which took them in, let us just briefly summarize Roman Numerals.
A lot of publishers like to use Roman numerals, and so, I have noticed, do a number of television programs. (Yeah, sometimes I read the copyright notices at the end of the credits. Like you're spending your time more usefully texting your friends while buffing your toenails.) What causes some people to pick Roman numerals for copyright dates: does it look classier or do they hope people won't figure out it's a rerun?
The Romans did not send text messages, so they used a system of numbers that takes up more space than ours. I is the numeral for 1, which seems logical. The numeral for 2 was II, and 3 was III. You see what the problem is, but the Romans didn't. They also had to wait for us to invent Pig Latin.
The symbol for 5 was V. You made a 4 by writing IV (five minus one) and 6 with a VI (five PLUS one.) You could be less elegant by writing 4 as IIII, but the pros didn't. (Some clockmakers do it to this day.) X was 10, L was 50, C was 100, D was 500, and M was 1000. 999 could be made by writing DCCCCLXXXXVIIII (500 plus four 100s plus 50 plus four 10s plus 5 plus four 1s) or DID (500 plus 500 minus 1) or just IM (1000 minus 1). There are more rules than that but I'm getting dizzy. The math score on my SATs is not what got me those scholarships.
So that aged atlas dated MCMLXXVI was published in 1976, which is a long time ago only for those of you who put Britney Spears in Classic Rock.
Learning your Roman numerals can help keep your hopes from rising when you pick up something similarly archaic. It can also provide hours of harmless fun. You can ask people what character in The Sword In the Stone had the same name as a YEAR. (Mad Madame Mim, of course. MIM, see, is…oh, go find your own harmless fun, then. I hope you get toenail crumbs in your keyboard.)

ELLENSBURG, Wash. — It's been the worst season in recent memory in the Columbia Basin for the quality of Timothy hay and nearly the same for alfalfa, a major West Coast hay exporter says.
Rain damaged hay and delays in harvest because of rain took their toll on first- and second-cutting Timothy, said Mark Anderson, president and CEO of Anderson Hay & Grain Co. in Ellensburg.
Second-cutting Timothy harvest ended about four weeks later than normal and premium Timothy for export is in short supply, Anderson said.
"June and September were not friendly haying months," he said. "There's a whole lot of middle and low-end quality."
Only about 30 percent of second-cutting was No. 1 in quality. In a good year it could be double that, he said.
More Timothy will be sold for domestic feeder hay at prices as low as $80 a ton while top quality export Timothy has reached $300 and more, he said.
A lot of Northwest Timothy is exported to Japan and South Korea. The exact amount this year will depend on how much lesser quality buyers take, Anderson said.
Buyers in those countries will turn to domestic grass hay, Australian oat hay and sudan grass hay out of California's Imperial Valley as alternatives, he said. Timothy in Alberta, Canada, is another option but is limited in volume, he said.
Alfalfa also was hit hard by weather, resulting in three instead of four cuttings in parts of the Columbia Basin and a flat market, Anderson said.
Foreign importers are shopping the U.S. West Coast for the best prices on alfalfa, he said.
"They don't have open checkbooks for best quality. It's more price-buyer mentality," he said.
"It's been a year where most farmers just want it to be over," said Mark Charlton, a Kittitas Timothy grower.
Hay was not totally ruined but rains and delay in harvest took away color, he said. He finished second-cutting the middle week of October, one of his latest.
He said he sold 90 percent of his first-cutting as export and hopes 50 to 60 percent of his second-cutting makes it. It's just not No. 1 grade, he said. He will gross 15 to 20 percent less than he should, he said.
Shawn Clausen, a Warden alfalfa grower, said 2007 was a wetter first-cutting but that this year was wetter over all cuttings. Only his second cutting escaped, he said.
"About 70 percent of my total went up with damage," he said, adding he still hopes to do a little better than break-even. Growers should weather the bad year because of high prices the previous two years, he said
He finished baling fourth-cutting on Oct. 7 and normally is done Oct. 1, he said. Some were still trying to put up hay Oct. 24, but some of it may go to green chop, he said.
Despite poorer quality, most is getting sold for domestic cattle, dairy and export, he said. There won't be as much feeder hay as people think, he said.

Stoker was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 7 and released after posting a $1,000 secured bail.

To prepare for Mental Health careers in Georgia, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? The field of engineering requires either an associates degree for entry-level technical workers, or a bachelors degree for professional engineers. Check with the clinical psychology department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Psychologists study cognitive, emotional, and social processes and behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people relate to one another and to their environments. Beyond this, psychologists seek to understand and explain thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behavior. Psychologists often gather information and evaluate behavior through controlled laboratory experiments, psychoanalysis, or psychotherapy. They also may administer personality, performance, aptitude, or intelligence tests. They look for patterns of behavior or relationships between events, and they use this information when testing theories in their research or when treating patients.
The American Board of Professional Psychology awards specialty certification in 15 areas of psychology, such as clinical health psychology, couple and family psychology, and rehabilitation psychology. The American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology offers certification in neuropsychology. Board certification can demonstrate professional expertise in a specialty area. Certification is not required for most psychologists, but some hospitals and clinics do require certification. Beyond major requirements within the clinical psychology department, you may consider Tennessee State University physics tutoring as a complementary elective.

Poll police bid over 'intimidation'
Policing needs to be assessed ahead of next year's general election following intimidation and attacks on freedom of speech at Scottish referendum events, MPs have heard.
Commons Leader William Hague said it was "disgraceful" to see people heckled while giving their views in the referendum debate, while Labour's John Robertson claimed pro-independence campaigners were responsible for the worst "intimidation" he had seen in his political life.
Mr Robertson, MP for Glasgow North West, added "freedom of speech has been attacked" as he called for a Westminster debate to discuss policing during the election and referendum campaigns and vote.
Jim Murphy was hit by an egg while campaigning
Labour MP Jim Murphy temporarily suspended his pro-Union 100 Streets In 100 Days tour amid claims that the events were being targeted by Yes supporters in a co-ordinated campaign, while Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond was involved in a "road rage" incident in which he was chased in his car by someone waving a No sign at him.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Robertson told Mr Hague: " We have seen north of the border intimidation like I have never seen in my time being involved in politics by the Yes campaign, which was seen when (Mr Murphy) was attacked while not only speaking but protecting an elderly lady.
"Freedom of speech has been attacked. I think we need to look at it again and make sure with the general election next year and a possible referendum, when things will be riding high, we need to look at these to make sure the intimidation that is happening... (does) not happen."
Mr Hague replied: "You raise a disturbing and important point. You are quite right to point out the importance of free speech, something all of us in all parties have always been very proud of in the United Kingdom - that in an election campaign or a referendum campaign, whatever our disagreements, we listen to each other.
"That is one of the great qualities of the UK compared to many other countries in the world. It's something we should always be proud to uphold.
"It has been disgraceful to see members of this House or indeed anyone else heckled or attempts to drive them out from giving their views in the referendum.
"You are quite right to draw attention to the need to uphold free speech."

Comparison Process
This is the overview of the comparison process as a whole. Each of the six phases of the comparison process of EMF Compare are briefly defined on the Overview, and a much more in-depth explanation will be given below, in our explanations of the default behavior of EMF Compare.
Project Architecture
EMF Compare is built on top of the Eclipse platform. We depend on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), the Eclipse Compare framework and, finally, Eclipse Team, the framework upon which the repository providers (EGit, CVS, Subversive...) are built.
The EMF Compare extensions target specific extensions of the modeling framework : UML, the Graphical Modeling Framework (and its own extensions, papyrus, ecoretools, ...).
Whilst we are built atop bricks that are tightly coupled with the eclipse platform, it should be noted that the core of EMF Compare can be run in a standalone application with no runtime dependencies towards Eclipse; as can EMF itself.
The Comparison Model
EMF Compare uses a single model, which root is a Comparison object, to represent all of the information regarding the comparison : matched objects, matched resources, detected differences, links between these references, etc. The root Comparison is created at the beginning of the Match process, and will undergo a set of successive refinings during the remainder of the Comparison : Diff, Equivalence, Dependencies... will all add their own information to the Comparison.
So, how exactly is represented all of the information the Comparison model can hold, and how to make sense of it all?
A Match element is how we represent that the n compared versions have elements that are basically the same. For example, if we are comparing two different versions v1 and v2 of a given model which look like :
Comparing these two models, we'll have a Comparison model containing three matches :
- library <-> library
- Book <-> Novel
- title <-> title
In other words, the comparison model contains an aggregate of the two or three compared models, in the form of Match elements linking the elements of all versions together. Differences will then be detected on these Match and added under them, thus allowing us to know both :
- what the difference is (for example, "attribute name has been changed from Book to Novel"), and
- what the original elements were.
Diff elements are created during the differencing process in order to represent the actual modifications that can be detected within the source model(s). The Diff concept itself is only there as the super-class of the three main kind of differences EMF Compare can detect in a model, namely ReferenceChange, AttributeChange and ResourceAttachmentChange. We'll go back to these three sub-classes in a short while.
Whatever their type, differences all share some elements in common :
- a parent match : differences are detected on a given Match. Having a Diff basically means that one of the elements paired through this Match differs from its "reference" side (see source description below).
- a source : differences are detected on one side of their match. The source really only holds meaning in three-way comparisons, where a difference can be detected in either right or left. All differences detected through two-way comparisons have their source in the left side. This is because we always compare according to a "reference" side : during two-way comparisons, the reference side is the right : differences will always be detected on the left side as compared with the right side. During three-way comparisons though, differences can be detected on either left or right side as compared with their common ancestor; but never as compared to themselves (in other words, this is roughly equivalent to two two-way comparisons, first the left as compared to the origin, then the right as compared to the origin).
- a current state : all differences start off in their initial unresolved state. The user can then choose to merge the diff (towards either right or left, applying or reverting the difference in the process), in which case the difference becomes merged, or to discard it, thus marking the diff as discarded. For example, if there is a conflicting edit of a textual attribute, the user can decide that neither right nor left are satisfying, and instead settle for a mix of the two.
- a kind : this is used by the engine to describe the type of difference it detected. Differences can be of four general types :
- Add : There are two distinct things that EMF Compare considers as an "addition". First, adding a new element within the values of a multi-valued feature is undeniably an addition. Second, any change in a containment reference, even if that reference is mono-valued, that represents a "new" element in the model is considered to be an addition. Note that this second case is an exception to the rule for change differences outlined below.
- Delete : this is used as the counterpart of add differences, and it presents the same exception for mono-valued containment references.
- Change : any modification to a mono-valued feature is considered a change difference by the engine. Take note that containment references are an exception to this rule : no change will ever be detected on those.
- Move : once again, two distinct things are represented as move differences in the comparison model. First, reordering the values of a multi-valued feature is considered as a series of MOVE : one difference for each moved value (EMF Compare computes the smallest number of differences needed between the two sides' values). Second, moving an object from one container to another (changing the containing feature of the EObject) will be considered a move.
In order to ensure that the model stays coherent through individual merge operations, we've also decided to link differences together through a number of associations and references. For example, there are times when one difference cannot be merged without first merging another, or some differences which are exactly equivalent to one another. In no specific order :
- dependency : EMF Compare uses two oppposite references in order to track dependencies between differences. Namely, requires and requiredBy represent the two ends of this association. If the user has added a package P1, then added a new Class C1 within this package, we will detect both differences. However the addition of C1 cannot be merged without first adding its container P1. In such a case, the addition of C1 requires the addition of P1, and the later is requiredBy the former.
- refinement : this link is mainly used by extensions of EMF Compare in order to create high-level differences to hide the complexity of the comparison model. For example, this is used by the UML extension of EMF Compare to tell that the three differences "adding an association A1", "adding a property P1 in association A1" and "adding a property P2 in association A1" is actually one single high-level difference, "adding an association A1". This high-level difference is refinedBy the others, which all refines it.
- equivalence : this association is used by the comparison engine in order to link together differences which are equivalent in terms of merging. For example, Ecore has a concept of eOpposite references. Updating one of the two sides of an eOpposite will automatically update the other. In such an event, EMF Compare will detect both sides as an individual difference. However, merging one of the two will trigger the update of the other side of the eOpposite as well. In such cases, the two differences are set to be equivalent to one another. Merging one difference part of an equivalence relationship will automatically mark all of the others as merged (see state above).
- conflict : during three-way comparisons, we compare two versions of a given model with their common ancestor. We can thus detect changes that were made in either left or right side (see the description of source above). There are cases when changes in the left conflict with changes in the right though. For example, a class named "Book" in the origin model can have been renamed to "Novel" in the left model whereas it has been renamed to "Essay" in the right model. In such a case, the two differences will be marked as being in conflict with one another.
PENDING all other concepts of the core metamodel.
Core Concepts
Proxy Resolution
PENDING why does EMF Compare avoid proxy resolving, how?
Equality Helper
PENDING what's this?
Comparison Scope
As seen above, EMF Compare consider proxies as real citizens of the EMF realm. This mainly shows in the matching mechanism. EMF Compare uses a scoping mechanism to determine which elements should be matched together, and which others should be ignored. Any element that is outside of the comparison scope will be ignored by the comparison engine and left alone (if it is a proxy, it won't even be loaded). This also means that we won't really have a way to compare these proxy (or otherwise out-of-scope values) when the Diff process encounters them.
For example, an element that is outside of the comparison scope, but referenced by another element which is in the scope will need specific comparison means : we've ignored it during the matching phase, so we don't know which 'out-of-scope' element corresponds to which 'other out-of-scope' element. Consider the following : in the first model, a package P1 contains another package P2. In the right, a package P1' contains a package P2' . We've told EMF Compare that P2 and P2' are out of the comparison scope. Now how do we determine that the reference from P1 to P2 has changed (or, in this example, that it did not change)?
This is a special case that is handled by the IEqualityHelper. Specifically, when such cases are encountered, EMF Compare falls back to using the URI of the two objects to check for equality. This behavior can be changed by customizing the IEqualityHelper (see above).
By default, the only thing that EMF Compare considers "out of scope" are Ecore's "EGenericType" elements. These are usually meaningless as far as comparison is concerned (as they are located in derived references and will be merged along with their "true" difference anyway). Please take note that, when used from the user interface, EMF Compare will narrow down the scope even further through the resolution of the logical model and determining which resources are actually candidates for differences.
The comparison scope provides EMF Compare with information on the content of ResourceSets, Resources or EObjects, according to the entry point of the comparison. Take note that the scope is only used during the matching phase. The differencing phase only uses the result of the matching phase to proceed.

Default behavior and extensibility
All main components of EMF Compare have been designed for extensibility. Some are only extensible when comparing models through your own actions, some can be customized globally for a given kind of model or metamodel... We'll outline the customization options of all 6 comparison phases in this section. (Any dead link? Report them on the forum!)
Model Resolving
PENDING description of the phase, extensibility (use of the modelProviders extension point, custom ext point of compare)
Before we can compute differences between two versions of a same Object, we must determine which are actually the "same" Object. For example, let's consider that my first model contains a Package P1 which itself contains a class C1; and that my second model contains a package P1 which contains a class C1. It may seem obvious for a human reader that "P1" and "C1" are the same object in both models. However, since their features might have changed in-between the two versions (for example, the "C1" might now be abstract, or it could have been converted to an Interface), this "equality" is not that obvious for a computer.
The goal of the "Match" phase is to discover which of the objects from model 2 match with which objects of model 1. In other words, this is when we'll say that two objects are one and the same, and that any difference between the two sides of this couple is actually a difference that should be reported as such to the user.
By default, EMF Compare browses through elements that are within the scope, and matches them through their identifier if they have one, r through a distance mechanism for all elements that have none. If the scope contains resources, EMF Compare will first match those two-by-two before browsing through all of their contained objects.
EMF Compare "finds" the identifier of given object through a basic function that can be found in IdentifierEObjectMatcher.DefaultIDFunction. In short, if the object is a proxy, its identifier is its URI fragment. Otherwise its functional ID (in ecore, an attribute that serves as an identifier) takes precedence over its XMI ID (the identifier it was given in the XMI file). If the object is not a proxy and has neither functional nor XMI identifier, then the default behavior will simply pass that object over to the proximity algorithms so that it can be matched through its distance with other objects.
PENDING : brief description of the proximity algorithm
This behavior can be customized in a number of ways.
Overriding the Match engine
The most powerful (albeit most cumbersome) customization you can implement is to override the match engine EMF Compare uses. To this end you can either implement the whole contract, IMatchEngine, in which case you will have to carefully follow the javadoc's recommandations, or extend the default implementation, DefaultMatchEngine.
A custom match engine can be used for your model comparison needs :
IMatchEngine customMatchEngine = new MyMatchEngine(...); EMFCompare.builder().setMatchEngine(customMatchEngine).build().compare(scope);
Changing how resources are matched
By default, the logic EMF Compare uses to match resources together is very simple : if two resources have the same name (strict equality on the name, without considering folders), they match. When this is not sufficient, EMF Compare will look at the XMI ID of the resources' root(s). If the two resources share at least one root with an equal XMI ID, they match.
This can be changed only by implementing your own subclass of the DefaultMatchEngine and overriding its resource matcher. The method of interest here is DefaultMatchEngine#createResourceMatcher().
Defining custom identifiers
In some cases, there might be ways to identify your objects via the use of "identifiers" that cannot be identified as such by the default mechanism. For example, you might want each of your objects to be matched through their name alone, or through the composition of their name and their type... This can be achieved through code by simply redefining the function EMF Compare uses to find the ID of an object. The following code will tell EMF Compare that the identifier of all "MyEObject" elements is their name, and that any other element should go through the default behavior.
Function<EObject, String> idFunction = new Function<EObject, String>() { public String apply(EObject input) { if (input instanceof MyEObject) { return ((MyEObject)input).getName(); } // a null return here tells the match engine to fall back to the other matchers return null; } }; // Using this matcher as fall back, EMF Compare will still search for XMI IDs on EObjects // for which we had no custom id function. IEObjectMatcher fallBackMatcher = DefaultMatchEngine.createDefaultEObjectMatcher(UseIdentifiers.WHEN_AVAILABLE); IEObjectMatcher customIDMatcher = new IdentifierEObjectMatcher(fallBackMatcher, idFunction); IComparisonFactory comparisonFactory = new DefaultComparisonFactory(new DefaultEqualityHelperFactory()); IMatchEngine matchEngine = new DefaultMatchEngine(customIDMatcher, comparisonFactory); EMFCompare.builder().setMatchEngine(matchEngine).build().compare(scope);
Ignoring identifiers
There are some cases where you do not want the identifiers of your elements to be taken into account when matching the objects. This can easily be done when calling for comparisons programmatically :
Through code
IEObjectMatcher matcher = DefaultMatchEngine.createDefaultEObjectMatcher(UseIdentifiers.NEVER); IComparisonFactory comparisonFactory = new DefaultComparisonFactory(new DefaultEqualityHelperFactory()); IMatchEngine matchEngine = new DefaultMatchEngine(matcher , comparisonFactory); EMFCompare.builder().setMatchEngine(matchEngine).build().compare(scope);
From the user interface
PENDING : preference page
Refine the default Match result
If you are happy with most of what the default behavior does, but would like to refine some of it, you can do so by post-processing the result of the match phase. The original models are only used when matching, and will never be queried again afterwards. All remaining phases are incremental refinings of the "Comparison" model that's been created by the matching phase.
As such, you can impact all of the differencing process through this. Within this post-processing implementation, you can :
- Remove Match elements
- no difference will be detected on those : neither additions, nor deletions, nor conflicts... They'll simply be entirely ignored by the remaining process. Do note that elements for which we have no match will be considered "distinct" by the innards of EMF Compare : if a couple "B<->B'" references a couple "C<->C'" through one of their references, but you have removed the Match "C<->C'", we will considered that this reference has been "changed" from C to C' and this difference within the references of B will be shown as such.
- Add new Match element
- the new couples of elements will be considered by the remaining comparison process and difference may be detected on them.
- Change existing Match elements
- unmatched elements have two or three associated Match objects. For example if you are comparing three version of a model which all contain a different version of a given package, and all three version change the name of this package : version 1 has package "P1", version 2 has package "P2" and version three has package "P3". This package is actually the same, but EMF Compare did not manage to match it. We will thus have three Match objects : one that references "P1" as left, one that references "P2" as right and one that references "P3" as origin.
- You may remove two of those three elements and change the third one so that it references P1 as left, P2 as right and P3 as origin. In such a case, those three will be considered to Match for the remainder of the comparison process. Make sure that there are not two different Match referencing the same object though, as this would yield unspecified results.
Defining a custom post-processor requires you to implement IPostProcessor and registering this sub-class against EMF Compare. The latter can be done via either an extension point, in which case it will be considered for all comparisons on models that match its enablement, or programmatically if you only want it active for your own actions :
Through code
The following registers a post-processor for all UML models. This post-processor will not be triggered if there are no UML models (matching the given namespace URI) within the compared scope. Take note that the NsURI provided here is treated as a regular expression.
IPostProcessor customPostProcessor = new CustomPostProcessor(); PostProcessorRegistry registry = new PostProcessorRegistry(); registry.addPostProcessor(new PostProcessorDescriptor("http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/\\d\\.0\\.0/UML", null, "my.custom.post.processor.id", customPostProcessor )); Comparison comparison = EMFCompare.builder().setPostProcessorRegistry(registry).build().compare(scope);
Through extension point
This accomplishes the exact same task, but it registers the post-processor globally. Any comparison through EMF Compare on a scope that contains models matching the given namespace URI will trigger that post-processor.
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.compare.postProcessor"> <postProcessor class="my.package.CustomPostProcessor"> <nsURI value="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/\\d\\.0\\.0/UML"> </nsURI> </postProcessor>
Now that the Matching phase has completed and that we know how our objects are coupled together, EMF Compare no longer requires the two (or three) input models. It will no longer iterate over them or the comparison's input scope. From this point onward, only the result of our comparison, the Comparison object, will be refined through the successive remaining phases, starting by the Diff.
The goal of this phase is to iterate over all of our Match elements, be they unmatched (only one side has this object), couples (two of the three sides contain this object) or trios (all three sides have this object) and compute any difference that may appear between the sides. For example, an object that is only on one side of the comparison is an object that has been added, or deleted. But a couple might also represent a deletion : during three way comparisons, if we have an object in the common ancestor (origin) and in the left side, but not in the right side, then it has been deleted from the right version. However, this latter example might also be a conflict : we have determined that the object has been removed from the right side... but there might also be differences between the original version and the "left" version.
The differencing phase does not care about conflicts though : all it does is refine the comparison to tell that this particular Match has n diffs : one DELETE difference on the right side, and n differences on the left. Detecting conflicts between these differences will come at a later time, during the conflict resolution phase.
Customizations of this phase usually aim at ignoring specific differences.
Overriding the Diff engine
As is the case for the Match phase, the most powerful customization you can implement for the differencing process is to override the diff engine EMF Compare uses. To this end you can either implement the whole contract, IDiffEngine, in which case you will have to carefully follow the javadoc's recommandations, or extend the default implementation, DefaultDiffEngine.
A custom diff engine can then be used for your comparisons :
IDiffEngine customDiffEngine = new MyDiffEngine(...); EMFCompare.builder().setDiffEngine(customDiffEngine).build().compare(scope);
Changing the FeatureFilter
One of the differencing engine's responsibilities is to iterate over all features of a given object in order to check for potential differences on its value(s). However, there are some features that we decide do ignore by default : derived features, transient features... or some features on which we would like to check for ordering changes even though they are marked as non-ordered.
The logic to determine whether a feature should be checked for differences has been extracted into its own class, and is quite easy to alter. For example, if you would like to ignore the name feature of your elements or never detect any ordering change :
IDiffProcessor diffProcessor = new DiffBuilder(); IDiffEngine diffEngine = new DefaultDiffEngine(diffProcessor) { @Override protected FeatureFilter createFeatureFilter() { return new FeatureFilter() { @Override protected boolean isIgnoredReference(Match match, EReference reference) { return reference == EcorePackage.Literals.ENAMED_ELEMENT__NAME || super.isIgnoredReference(match, reference); } @Override public boolean checkForOrderingChanges(EStructuralFeature feature) { return false; } }; } }; EMFCompare.builder().setDiffEngine(diffEngine).build().compare(scope);
You could also change the diff processor to achieve a similar goal. The difference between the two approaches is that changing the FeatureFilter will ignore the structural feature altogether, whereas replacing the diff processor would let EMF Compare check the feature and detect that diff, but ignore the notification that there is a change.
Changing the Diff Processor
The diff engine browses over all of the objects that have been matched, and checks all of their features in order to check for changes between the two (or three) versions' feature values. When it detects a change, it delegates all of the corresponding information to its associated Diff Processor, which is in charge of actually creating the Diff object and appending it to the resulting Comparison.
Replacing the Diff Processor gives you a simple entry point to ignore some of the differences the default engine detects, or to slightly alter the Diff information. You might want to ignore the differences detected on some references for example. Or you might want to react to the detected diff without actually creating the Comparison model... The implementation is up to you. You can either reimplement the whole contract or extend the default implementation, DiffBuilder
Here is a simple example that provides EMF Compare with a diff processor that will ignore all differences detected on the "name" attribute of our objects, yet keep the default behavior for all other differences.
IDiffProcessor customDiffProcessor = new DiffBuilder() { @Override public void attributeChange(Match match, EAttribute attribute, Object value, DifferenceKind kind, DifferenceSource source) { if (attribute != EcorePackage.Literals.ENAMED_ELEMENT__NAME) { super.attributeChange(match, attribute, value, kind, source); } } }; IDiffEngine diffEngine = new DefaultDiffEngine(customDiffProcessor); EMFCompare.builder().setDiffEngine(diffEngine).build().compare(scope);
Refine the default Diff result
The last possibility offered by EMF Compare to alter the result of the differencing phase is to post-process it. The remaining comparison phases -equivalence detection, detection of dependencies between diffs and conflict detection- all use the result of the Diff engine and refine it even further. As such, all of these phases can be impacted through the refining of the Diff result.
Example uses of the post-processing would include :
- Remove Diff elements
- If you'd rather code your logic to ignore differences here as a post-process instead of changing the FeatureFilter or IDiffProcessor. Though that is not the best way to ignore differences, it can still be done here.
- Add new Diff elements
- If you want to create new differences without implementing a whole differencing engine, new differences can still be created here as a post-process. You will need to implement the iteration over model elements and specific checks yourself though. This workaround can also be used to create new differences that the default differencing engine does not know.
- Alter the detected differences
- If some of the differences have been detected in a way you do not like, and you did not use a custom IDiffProcessor to change the Diff information, you can do so here.
The post-processor for the diff engine is implemented exactly in the same way as for the match engine post-processors (the interface and extension point are the same). Please refer to Refining the Match result.

Using The Compare APIs
The main entry point of EMF Compare is the org.eclipse.emf.compare.EMFCompare class. It is what should be used in order to configure and launch a comparison. That is not all though. Once you have compared two models, you want to query the differences, maybe merge some of them, display the comparison result in the comparison editor... The following section will list the main entry points for each of these actions, along with a brief description of what can be done and what should be avoided.
Most of these examples are set-up as "standalone" examples, and will include extra instructions for IDE use : pay attention to the environment in which you are using EMF Compare. Are you using it from an Eclipse plugin, in which case you'd like all of the extra features provided through extension points and contribution to be available to you? Or are you using it from a standalone environment, in which case you'd need to reduce the dependencies to the bare minimum and avoid OSGi-related code and extensions?
Compare two models
Loading your models
Whether you wish to compare two or three models, the first thing you need is to load them. We won't detail in-depth how to do that as this is standard EMF practice, you might want to look at EMF tutorial for detailled instructions on this point. Here, we'll use a simple method that loads an xmi file at a given URL into a resourceSet, expecting the given URL to be an absolute file URL :
public void load(String absolutePath, ResourceSet resourceSet) { URI uri = URI.createFileURI(absolutePath); resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xmi", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl()); // Resource will be loaded within the resource set resourceSet.getResource(uri, true); }
Creating the comparison scope
EMF Compare uses a scoping mechanism to determine which elements should be compared, and which others should be ignored. Any element that is outside of the comparison scope will be ignored by the comparison engine and left alone (if it is a proxy, it won't even be loaded). As such, extra care should be taken to determine the proper scope of the comparison or customize the IEqualityHelper to handle the specific elements you remove from the scope. Refer to the appropriate section above for more on the scoping mechanism.
By default, the only thing that EMF Compare considers "out of scope" are Ecore's "EGenericType" elements. These are usually meaningless as far as comparison is concerned (as they are located in derived references and will be merged along with their "true" difference anyway). Other than that, Please note that EMF Compare will leave unresolved proxies alone : more on this can be found in the related section.
The default scope can be easily created through :
IComparisonScope scope = EMFCompare.createDefaultScope(resourceSet1, resourceSet2);
Configuring the comparison
EMF Compare can be customized in a number of ways, the most important of which were described above. Most of them re-use the same entry point, the org.eclipse.emf.compare.EMFCompare class. We won't customize much here, please see the afore-mentionned section for extensibility means.
All we will tell EMF Compare is not to use identifiers, and rely on its proximity algorithms instead (after all, we're comparing plain XMI files) :
IEObjectMatcher matcher = DefaultMatchEngine.createDefaultEObjectMatcher(UseIdentifiers.NEVER); IComparisonFactory comparisonFactory = new DefaultComparisonFactory(new DefaultEqualityHelperFactory()); IMatchEngine matchEngine = new DefaultMatchEngine(matcher, comparisonFactory); EMFCompare comparator = EMFCompare.builder().setMatchEngine(matchEngine).build();
Putting it all together
The following takes two input xmi files, loads them in their own resource sets, then calls the comparison without using identifiers :
public Comparison compare(File model1, File model2) { // Load the two input models ResourceSet resourceSet1 = new ResourceSetImpl(); ResourceSet resourceSet2 = new ResourceSetImpl(); String xmi1 = "path/to/first/model.xmi"; String xmi2 = "path/to/second/model.xmi"; load(xmi1, resourceSet1); load(xmi2, resourceSet2); // Configure EMF Compare IEObjectMatcher matcher = DefaultMatchEngine.createDefaultEObjectMatcher(UseIdentifiers.NEVER); IComparisonFactory comparisonFactory = new DefaultComparisonFactory(new DefaultEqualityHelperFactory()); IMatchEngine matchEngine = new DefaultMatchEngine(matcher, comparisonFactory); EMFCompare comparator = EMFCompare.builder().setMatchEngine(matchEngine).build(); // Compare the two models IComparisonScope scope = EMFCompare.createDefaultScope(resourceSet1, resourceSet2); return comparator.compare(scope); } private void load(String absolutePath, ResourceSet resourceSet) { URI uri = URI.createFileURI(absolutePath); resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xmi", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl()); // Resource will be loaded within the resource set resourceSet.getResource(uri, true); }
Comparing from an Eclipse plugin
The above example is for standalone usage, and as such will require extra work if you wish to compare UML models, benefit from EMF Compare extensions, provide your own mergers... The following represents the same example, but uses IDE-specific utilities (can you spot the two differences?) :
public Comparison compare(File model1, File model2) { // Load the two input models ResourceSet resourceSet1 = new ResourceSetImpl(); ResourceSet resourceSet2 = new ResourceSetImpl(); String xmi1 = "path/to/first/model.xmi"; String xmi2 = "path/to/second/model.xmi"; load(xmi1, resourceSet1); load(xmi2, resourceSet2); // Configure EMF Compare IEObjectMatcher matcher = DefaultMatchEngine.createDefaultEObjectMatcher(UseIdentifiers.NEVER); IComparisonFactory comparisonFactory = new DefaultComparisonFactory(new DefaultEqualityHelperFactory()); IMatchEngine matchEngine = new DefaultMatchEngine(matcher, comparisonFactory); EMFCompare comparator = EMFCompareIDE.builder().setMatchEngine(matchEngine).build(); // Compare the two models IComparisonScope scope = EMFCompare.createDefaultScope(resourceSet1, resourceSet2); return comparator.compare(scope); } private void load(String absolutePath, ResourceSet resourceSet) { URI uri = URI.createFileURI(absolutePath); // Resource will be loaded within the resource set resourceSet.getResource(uri, true); }
Query the differences
Once you have the result of a comparison (in the form of a Comparison object), what you are interested in are most likely the differences between your models. We will detail the merging process later on it its own section, but before anything we need to retrieve the list of differences of interest. Within the Comparison model, differences are spread under the elements on which they've been detected, more precisely, under the Match of the element on which they were detected.
Let's use a complex example as reference. Consider the three following models :
All differences
What we need is usually to retrieve the list of all differences, wherever they were detected, or whatever their source (the left model, or the right model). Instead of iterating all over the Comparison model to collect them, you can use :
List<Diff> differences = comparison.getDifferences();
Sometimes, we need to retrieve all of the differences that were detected on (or that are related to) a given model element. For example, with the above example, we might want to retrieve the list of all differences that relate to Borrowable. Well, there are a number of them, which can all be collected through :
// borrowable is a reference on the like-named EObject List<Diff> differencesOnBorrowable = comparison.getDifferences(borrowable);
This will return a list containing a number of differences :
- Borrowable has been added in the right model
- copies has been added to reference ownedProperties of Borrowable
- Borrowable has been added to the generalization reference of Book
- Borrowable has been added as the borrowed target of an association with Person
In other words, this method will return differences under the target (here, copies has been added), as well as differences which changed value is the target.
Filtering differences
EMF Compare depends on guava for many of its internals. A number of "common" difference filtering predicates have been extracted to the org.eclipse.emf.compare.utils.EMFComparePredicates utility class. Using this class, it is trivial to filter the list of differences so as to keep only those we are interested in. For example, what if we wish to retrieve the list of all non-conflictual differences that originate from the left side? (This is the case when you use the "copy all non-conflicting from left to right" action from the comparison editor for example.)
// Construct the predicate Predicate<? super Diff> predicate = and(fromSide(DifferenceSource.LEFT), not(hasConflict(ConflictKind.REAL, ConflictKind.PSEUDO)); // Filter out the diff that do not satisfy the predicate Iterable<Diff> nonConflictualDifferencesFromLeft = filter(comparison.getDifferences(), predicate);
Note that for clarity, we've made static references to a number of methods here. This particular snippet requires the following imports :
import static com.google.common.base.Predicates.and; import static com.google.common.base.Predicates.not; import static com.google.common.collect.Iterables.filter; import static org.eclipse.emf.compare.utils.EMFComparePredicates.fromSide; import static org.eclipse.emf.compare.utils.EMFComparePredicates.hasConflict;
We strongly encourage you to look around more in these classes : Predicates provides a number of basic, general-purpose predicates while EMFComparePredicates provides EMF Compare specific predicates used throughout both core and user-interface of EMF Compare.

(part 3)
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
Series - a group of cards within an issue deliberately split up by the manufacturer to distribute at different times of the year. (i.e.- vintage 1st series cards 1-100 were released in April and 2nd series cards 101-200 were released in July, etc.).
Short Print (SP) - a card printed to a lesser quantity than other cards in a set. Many recent short prints are also individually & serially-numbered.
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.
The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426).
The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets":
* League Leaders (10 cards)
* World Series highlights (10 cards)
* Highlights (11 cards)
* MVP's (16 cards)
* Checklists (7 cards plus several variations)
* Team cards (xx cards)
* Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards)
* Managers (xx cards)
* Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards)
* Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589)
1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete.
MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes!
Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced.
More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat
Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

Not all lawns are created equal. Fertilizing a warm season lawn like buffalo or Bermudagrass is done in the summer months while correct fertilizing of fescue or Kentucky bluegrass is done mostly in the fall.
Not all lawns are created equal. Fertilizing a warm season lawn like buffalo or Bermudagrass is done in the summer months while correct fertilizing of fescue or Kentucky bluegrass is done mostly in the fall.
Warm-season grasses grown in Kansas include bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and buffalograss.
March - Spot treat broadleaf weeds if necessary. Treat on a day that is 50 degrees F or warmer. Rain or irrigation within 24 hours of application will reduce effectiveness.
April - Apply crabgrass preventer between April 1 and April 15, or apply preventer when the eastern redbud is in full bloom. If using a product with Barricade, apply two weeks
earlier. Crabgrass preventers need to be watered in before they will start to work.
May - August 15 - Fertilize with 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per application. Remember, more applications will give a deeper green color, but will increase mowing and lead to a buildup of thatch with bermudagrass and zoysiagrass.
Bermudagrass - Use two to four applications.
Zoysiagrass - Use one to two applications. Too much nitrogen leads to thatch buildup.
Buffalograss - Use one to two applications. One Application: Apply in June. Two Applications: Apply May and July. Three Applications: Apply May, June and early August Four Applications: Apply May, June, July and early August.
Fertilizing lawns at improper times will encourage unwanted weeds.
If grubs have been a problem in the past, apply a product containing Merit or Mach 2. Either product should be applied by mid July. Merit can be applied as early as mid May if there are problems with billbugs or May beetle grubs. Both of these are referred to
as grub preventers. Actually, they kill the grubs when they are small but are called grub preventers because they kill the grubs before they cause damage. These insecticides are effective and safe. They must be watered in before they become active.
June is a good time to core aerate a warm-season lawn. Core aeration will help alleviate compaction, increase the rate of water infiltration, improve soil air exchange and help control thatch.
Late July through August - If you see grub damage, apply a grub killer. If Merit or Mach 2 has been applied, this should not be necessary. Grub killers must be watered in immediately.
Late October - Spray for broadleaf weeds if they are a problem. Treat on a day that is at least 50 degrees F. Rain or irrigation within 24 hours reduces effectiveness. Use the rates listed on the label for all products mentioned.
Timing is everything when it comes to turf. As you can see not all lawn grasses are created equal.

Enlightenment version 16 was one of most configurable window managers back in late nineties (and still is). For the next version however Rasterman and friends decided to create a complete desktop shell instead of just a simple window manager. Enlighenment version 17 is therefore based on a set of graphical libraries which can used for other applications as well. But do we need another set of libraries when QT and GTK+ are already mature and stable? Depending on your needs, you might find that using the Enlightenment libraries is truly an enlightening experience!

The Lansing boys' basketball team dismantled Hays 59-42 in the Class 5A state tournament opening round.
You don't have your best season in school history as a one-trick pony.
So when Lansing's outside shots wouldn't fall Thursday, the Lions had plenty of other tools at their disposal.
Namely, the Lions' stifling defense and resulting run-and-gun transition offense, which covered up for some cold shooting, carried the Lions to a 59-42 win over Hays in the opening round of the Class 5A state tournament.
"The different environment of the Expocentre threw off our shooting, so we knew we had to score in other ways," Lion guard Lucas Mein said. "That's why we have guys like Roy [Clayter] and Khalil [Bailey] to slash inside."
After a full day in the classroom today, the Lions will come back to Topeka to face Kapaun Mt. Carmel tonight at 8:15. Carmel defeated Lansing last year in this exact same semifinal.
Win that and the red and white will compete for a state crown Saturday evening.
"This is definitely the best team I've been on," Mein said. "We're confident."
Aggressive defense leading to at-the-rim offense has been the M.O. for the Lions this year, and Thursday was no different.
Lansing forced 21 turnovers to win the points-off-turnovers battle 27-9. Those gaudy numbers more than made up for its poor 2-of-13 3-point shooting.
The Lions pounced early on the Indians. Lansing forced turnovers and ran out to an 18-9 lead in the first quarter.
Athletic big man Clayter had the game's first eight points and two dunks.
"The coaches know I'm an unselfish player, but they tell me not to be too tentative. The shots were there for me so I took them," Clayter said.
Hays successfully slowed down the Lion attack in the second quarter by deploying a 3-2 zone and having 6-foot-6-inch Brady Werth patrol inside. Lansing patiently passed to get open outside shots, but they bricked off the rim.
Hays carried the second quarter 11-9 to cut Lansing's edge to a 27-20 halftime lead.
But in the third quarter, Lansing eschewed half-court offense and dictated with their patented pressure defense.
"I told them to turn up the energy a little bit at halftime," Lions coach Rob Briggs said. "Our guys have been here before, and they were almost a little too calm."
Lansing went on a 14-6 run to open the third and steal away the momentum Hays had started to build before half. Hays worked its way back to an 11-point deficit going into the fourth, but the Lions never relented, closing out the contest with breathing room.
Clayter led the way with 19 points, followed by Khalil Bailey's 10 and Clayton Young's 10. Joe Schneider pitched in nine and Donte Gibson had six.
Tonight's semifinals opponent, Kapaun Mt. Carmel from Wichita, finished 16-6 in the regular season as the state's 21st ranked team.
As stated, they defeated the Lions last year in the semifinals, though that Lansing team didn't have the athleticism and talent of this year's squad — a proclamation that Briggs doesn't hesitate to agree with.
"Oh yeah, this is the best team I've coached here," Briggs said.
