Time to get back to business and see who the Maniacs feel is the cream of the crop in the Featherweight / Bantamweight divisions.
We will poll each fight individually, for 1 day, beginning with opening round Match #1. MMA Mania has the most knowledgeable MMA online community, so please feel free to post your pick in the comments along with your analysis of how you see the fights breaking down. Hopefully this will give us something to do on slow news days.
It was extremely hard to come up with seeding for this tourney as I bought in the best fighters from multiple promotions and 2 weight classes. Accordingly, the top seeds went to current title holders. For the rest of the seedings, I utilized multiple MMA rankings, while also taking styles into consideration. I also tossed a few names in a hat, as there are so many good fighters in these classes, it was hard to decide who to put in/keep out.
Just so I don't get bombarded with fighters who were left out, here are the other names that were in the hat that didn't make it: Josh Grispi, Shuichiro Katsumura, Scott Jorgenson, Michihiro Omigawa, L.C. Davis, Patricio Pitbull, Leonard Garcia, Raphael Assuncao, Takeya Mizugaki
***NOTE*** In the event of a tie, a randomly selected Maniac will act as the tie breaker. That Maniac will be the 1st person to write a comment in the post thread. So if you are the 1st to post a comment, make sure to include which fighter you voted for!!!!
1 Jose Aldo (WEC 17-1)
16 Masakatsu Ueda (Shooto 10-1-2)
Match 1 1 Jose Aldo
QF1 Winner QF1
Match 2 8 Hatsu Hioki

Match 7 Winner 7/10
QF4 Winner QF4
Match 8 Winner 2/15
2 Dominic Cruz (WEC 15-1)
15 Jung Chan Sung (WEC 10-2)
Match #5: It finally happened. For the 1st time since we started these tourneys, we had a fight end in a 50/50 tie. Seems the Maniacs were split right down the middle on this one. As a result, we go to the tie-breaker vote as outlined above. The tie-breaker vote was cast by none other than long time Maniac Synyster, who picked Manvil for the win. Gamburyan now moves into the quarters to await the winner of Match #6.
Match #6: This match features 2 of the brightest up-and-comers in the game. Sandro is the current FW King of Pancrase and should be undefeated (save for a controversial decision loss to Omigawa in Sengoku). Soto, the current Bellator FW champion is unblemished, and brings a rediculous wrestling style to the table. Joe may have to pick his poison, as Sandro BJJ wiz, but also has several flash KOs on the feet...
So lets hear it Maniacs. Will the favorites move on, or will we see an underdog rise to the top? You decide.

The 10-day voluntary program is where patients undergo a "digital detox" and cannot use the Internet or computer for 72 hours followed by a psychological evaluation. There are people who may feel they suffer from Internet addiction but can't afford BRMC's $14,000 program. Jeff Temple, director of UTMB's Behavioral Health and Research Program, suggests they go to a "psychologist or if they can't find a psychologist go to their primary care physician who would then refer them to a pyschologist." « Back | The Newsroom »

A dinosaur artist and educator will create a life-size drawing of Haddonfield's famous dinosaur today while museum visitors watch on the opening day of the new exhibit Drawn to Dinosaurs: Hadrosaurus foulkii at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.
The centerpiece is a full cast of Hadrosaurus foulkii, discovered in 1858 in Haddonfield, and reconstructed and mounted based on Academy research and artist interpretation. The illustrator will use colored chalk on a blackboard installed in the Art of Science Gallery to draw the 25-foot-long, duck-billed, plant-eating dinosaur, according to a news release.
The mounted cast of that dinosaur will stand nearby as part of the exhibit. Museum visitors can watch the process and ask questions. A time-lapse video of the daylong drawing session will be created and installed in the exhibit the next week.
The artist and educator is Jason Poole, coordinator of the Academy's Fossil Prep Lab in Dinosaur Hall. Poole has participated in numerous dinosaur digs around the world and his artwork has been published in National Geographic, Science, and other publications and museum exhibits. Poole will interact with museum visitors as he draws.
He'll work from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a break from noon to 1 p.m. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is located at 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia.
Haddonfield has it's own life-sized sculpture of Hadrosaurus foulkii near Chestnut Street and Kings Highway East in an area known as "Haddy Lane."
CORRECTION: Haddy Lane is located near Chestnut Street and Kings Highway East. An earlier version of this story was incorrect.

NOW is right: Eliot Spitzer is unfit for office
As a right-leaning, pro-life woman, there are plenty of things I disagree with today's activist feminists on. But I applaud them for taking a stand against Eliot Spitzer returning to public office, a man whose character disqualifies him from the public's trust. Repeatedly soliciting prostitutes while publicly campaigning against sex trafficking and prostitution in his public life as governor calls into question every future public act he would undertake.

Jason Kidd retiring from NBA after 19 seasons
Published On: Jun 03 2013 09:41:56 PM CDT
The New York Knicks say Jason Kidd has decided to retire from the NBA after 19 seasons.
Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in league history but struggled in the playoffs shortly after turning 40. He had two years left on the deal he signed last summer.
Kidd won an NBA title and two Olympic gold medals and is second on the career list in assists and steals. He was a 10-time All-Star.
His retirement Monday comes two days after fellow 40-year-old Grant Hill, with whom Kidd shared Rookie of the Year honors in 1995, announced his retirement.

It has been hypothesized for quite some time that migraines may be a risk factor for atherosclerosis, the thickening of the artery walls. However, a new study conducted in northern Italy refuted this hypothesis and found a surprising result regarding VTE (venous thromboembolism).
"Migraine patients did seem to be at increased risk for VTE. Overall, 18.9% of migraineurs had VTE compared with 7.6% of non-migraineurs" explained Reuters Health.
Ultrasounds were used to track patients over a six year period. Patients with VTE have been found to also be at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Migraines may be a warning factor for those at high risk of VTE and patients should monitor their health and seek medical attention if their migraine pain is a concern.

What was amazing about the hearing Monday was the prosecution's admission that it didn't have enough evidence to convict these men. As attorney Daro Inouye said of Jalil Muntaqim, who pled no contest to the prosecution's charge of conspiracy, his client picked up a loaded grenade to save his brothers, his friends, his fellow defendants, and he didn't plead guilty. That language did not pass his lips.

(WMC-TV) - The Shelby County School District board approved a revised closure list Tuesday that spares a handful of schools from the chopping block.
Northside High School and Alcy Elementary School were spared. Northside will be spared for one year. Riverview Elementary School will move into Riverview Middle School, making it a K-8 school.
Although, the board voted to close Gordon, Graves, Klondike, Shannon, and Westhaven elementary schools along with Corry, Cypress, Lainer, and, Vance middle schools.
Also, Fairview Middle School will now be Maxine Smith STEAM Academy, which will open fall 2014. Westhaven may eventually get a new building if funding from the Shelby County Commission comes through.
SCS released the recommended closures during the meeting which are effective 2014-2015.
—Alcy ES remains open
—Corry MS to Hamilton MS (ASD phase-in)
—Cypress MS to Grandview MS
—Gordon ES to Caldwell-Guthrie ES
—Klondike ES to Vollentine ES
—Lainer MS to A. Maceo Walker MS
—Northside HS remains open (Defer for one year)
—Riverview ES to Riverview MS (K-8)
—Riverview MS convert to K-8 (See line above)
—Shannon ES to Douglass K-8 (ASD phase-in)
—Vance MS to BTW HS
—Westhaven ES to Farley ES and Raineshaven ES
Concerned parents, many of which fought school closures, packed the board auditorium during the decision making. The seven-member board took a number of different votes to reach the same conclusion.
But district leaders say the often uneasy process is in the best interest of the children. Shante Avant and Teresa Jones were the only two board members who voted "no" in every vote.
Meanwhile, there is concern about what might happen with empty school buildings. District officials plan to have options by the end of the year.

I can tell you the one thing that stands out to me is the ability of Haley, Pioli, and the new staff to get the best out of our players.
Some of it is player maturity, but much of it is the coaches squeezing the players. I know Im not the only one who was tired of seeing our former players got to other teams and be much better players than they were when they were with us. Vonnie Holliday in Miami, Keyaron Fox in Pittsburgh, Kawika Mitchell in NY, Lawrence Tynes in NY. The ones I can think of off of the top of my head.
Glenn Dorsey is looking like he could be a great 3-4 end. In the pre season, he has not been easily moved.
Demmorrio Williams was threatened to be traded or cut every year, but now he is looking prety solid.
Dewayne Bowe is looking really solid so far.
We have a lot of no name players who are looking pretty good. I know that many will say its is only pre season, and that is true. But I remember preseason last year when no one was really looking good.
A team that can't develop players will always be limited in their success because they will be over the cap. They have to buy players who are already established for maximum money (Redskins anyone?). I am glad we are getting more out of our players. This is how teams become great. When you can turn a no name into a talent, you not only keep your team depth full, but you also create your own trade bait for extra picks in the draft. Look at the Steeler linebackers. Pittsburgh very seldom re-signs them, but when they become free agents, other teams who aren't good at developing players jump on them (Kendrell Bell?)
Im very happy to see this.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
By Jade Bulecza - bio | email CLINCH COUNTY, GA (WALB) –It's cost the Georgia Forestry Commission hundreds of thousands of dollars to manage the fire.
The Arabia Fire has been burning for three weeks. Rangers are hoping for a good amount of rain to put it out as it continues to char the swamp.
Rangers predict the wind will dry up the little bit of moisture in the Arabia Bay swamp. The fire is 100 percent contained but they're still keeping a close eye on it as it smolders and smokes.
"We come out here several times a day ride the breaks making sure it stays in," said the Clinch County Chief Ranger Blair Joiner. "We have air patrol that's flying it twice a day looking at it from the air."
Arabia Bay got three quarters of an inch of rain Tuesday night, not enough to wipe out the fire. They're aren't any flames like they're have been in days past but once the moisture dries up, rangers say it's a possibility that the dead vegetation like these dried leaves could hit the ground an cause a reburn.
"If we could get 6 to eight inches of rain within maybe two days that would be great," said Joiner.
That would be possibly enough to put it out.
The Georgia Forestry Commission estimates that it's cost them more than $125,000 and that's strictly just for managing the incident. That doesn't include costs incurred by a long list of those who assisted including deputies, Rayonier timber company, GEMA, and DOT workers.
And not to mention the lives put on the line, to battle a fire thought to be set by arsonist.
There is a $10,000 reward for the arsonist who started the fire.
More than 2,700 acres have burned.

I made this basket for my boss, Wendi. She is a coffee lover and I know this will make her very happy. I just put a belly band on each item, then stamped a sentiment and adhered. I got the basket from Wal-Mart as well as the shrink plastic bag. I included General Foods International Coffee, coffee creamer, and flavored coffees. I also got her a coffee mug and another GFIC, but the basket is too small and it wouldn't fit. Ah well, maybe I'll make another little basket for her.
I used several different stamp sets including Verve Visual, and Festive Labels designed by Gina K. Let me tell you that I love the Gina K stamps, I just received my first order from her company. I am very impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the stamps, fantastic service and fantastic product!
I am going to start working on Cody's teacher's gift. I will be making her a coaster calendar for Christmas! I sure hope I have enough time and can do it well. If not, I'll use have to resort to Plan B. I still have about 5 days, so we shall see.

Rant Sports mock draft
I scrolled down to see that this guy had San Diego taking Marrero at #7 ahead of Pittsburgh. I was excited about this, but then the author has the Pirates taking Trey Williams. MLB.com has Williams at #50 and BA has him at #99, but he's the son of former Pirate Eddie Williams (this sounds like a wheelhouse DL pick). He also compares Mark Appel to Andrew Luck and says "In my mind, Appel is the best pitching prospect to enter the MLB Draft since Stephen Strasburg." He also groups Marrero in with Buxton, Zunino, and Correa as the "cream of the crop" amongst hitters. Good information overall and nice to get some kind of other perspective than what we've been reading the past few weeks.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia sophomore kicker Marshall Morgan is facing a possible suspension following his arrest for boating under the influence.
According to Putnam County Sherriff's Chief Deputy Russell Blenk, Morgan was arrested Saturday night on Lake Sinclair by a Georgia Department of Natural Resources officer. Morgan was charged with operating a watercraft under the influence and towing a skier without a life preserver on board.
Blenk says Morgan was released Saturday at 10:35 p.m. on $1,724 bond.
Georgia spokesman Claude Felton said Tuesday coach Mark Richt is aware of the situation. If Morgan is suspended for one game, he would miss the Bulldogs' opener at Clemson on Aug. 31.
Morgan, from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., made 8 of 14 field goals as a freshman and is projected as the starting kicker in 2013.

FastMarkets reported that although other precious metals are trending downward as the week draws to a close, palladium remains steady.
As quoted in the market news:
'Palladium is steady, ignoring the downward pressure being exerted on the other precious metals,' Standard Bank's Walter de Wet wrote on Thursday.
He added, however, that this should not come as a surprise, given that the correlation between gold and palladium and even between palladium and sister metal platinum has been very low over the last two years.

Astros sign Feliz for hot corner
Third baseman played in past two World Series for Phillies
INDIANAPOLIS -- Before heading home from the Winter Meetings on Thursday afternoon, the busy Astros added another player to the fold by signing third baseman Pedro Feliz to a one-year, $4.5 million contract.
Feliz joins the Astros one day after they traded three Minor Leaguers to the Florida Marlins for reliever Matt Lindstrom and reached a contract agreement with reliever Brandon Lyon -- a deal that has yet to be confirmed by the club, pending a physical.
"We're very pleased to add Pedro to our infield mix," Astros general manager Ed Wade said. "He's been an outstanding defensive player and a solid run-producer for his entire career. He played a premium position with a two-time World Series participant and was a key part of the Phillies' success. We're fortunate to have him on board."
Feliz, 34, played the previous two seasons with the Phillies, helping them win the World Series in 2008 and return to the Fall Classic in 2009. He hit .266 with 12 homers and 82 RBIs in 158 games last year for Philadelphia, which recently signed Placido Polanco to play third.
Feliz spent the first eight years of his career with the San Francisco Giants and is a career .254 hitter with 135 homers and 558 RBIs. Known more for his defense, Feliz will allow the Astros to move switch-hitter Geoff Blum around the infield in what Wade calls a "super utility" role.
Blum re-signed with the Astros for one year and $1.5 million in October. He hit .247 with 10 home runs and 49 RBIs in 120 games last season with the Astros, spending most of his time at third base and committing only three errors.
"Geoff Blum has done a terrific job for us over the past two seasons, and despite the acquisition of a regular third baseman, we believe Geoff will get his at-bats with us and be a key contributor all around the infield," Wade said. "It's been a good week for us."
Houston also has Jeff Keppinger, who made 59 starts last season at third base, 14 at second base and three at shortstop. Rookie Tommy Manzella is expected to start at shortstop on Opening Day, with Kazuo Matsui starting at second base and Lance Berkman at first base.

Emergency crews responded to a major hit-and-run accident near the intersection of Old Jacksonville Highway and Loop 323.
According to Tyler police, 25-year-old Daniel Massad was headed eastbound on the loop in a Dodge pick-up when he ran a red light and collided with a car turning south on to Old Jacksonville Highway. Massad then got out of his car and ran into a wooded area near the intersection of DC Drive and Old Jacksonville Highway.
Officers set up a perimeter and located him exiting a brushy area about 30 minutes after the crash.. Authorities found a substance that is believed to be crystal meth in the suspect's car. He was placed under arrest for hit and run, evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance.
There were three vehicles involved in the accident. No serious injuries were reported.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Seeing as how famous actors and directors are becoming common place in beauty and fashion advertising these days, perhaps it's not shocking that Ralph Lauren, always in the vanguard, enlisted Hong Kong cult director Wong Kar-Wai, to create the campaign for his newest fragrance, Notorious. The one-minute short, which stars supermodel Laeticia Casta, was shot over a week at some of the most iconic locations in Paris and is on par with a major Hollywood-production (actually, it might be better than some of the stuff that's made its way to the big screen recently). Since the entire fashion world is shacking up in the City of Lights this week, the clip might be the perfect thing to help those of you watching from afar feel a bit more involved (although we think the quick cuts and up-tempo beat of the behind-the-scenes montage say, "Paris, je t'aime" even more so).

BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) – An autopsy report states that an elected official in Bossier Parish was driving drunk the night he died in a car crash.
According to the autopsy report KSLA News 12 obtained, Marshal Johnny Wyatt was intoxicated when he crashed his car, dying of chest injuries.
It basically says that the night Johnny Wyatt crashed, his blood alcohol was twice that of the legal limit.
The limit is between 0.08 – 0.1. The report states that Wyatt's blood measured 0.2.
Wyatt's vehicle reportedly left I-220, crossed over Shed Road, then hit a large culvert back in October.
Wyatt was elected Bossier City Marshal, in 1991.

Connecting in-house lawyers, government officials and private practitioners to address the most important issues of the industry
by Corporation Counsel Bill Sinnott
A reflection on the legal legacy of Boston's retiring chief executive
As the City of Boston witnesses the final weeks of the Menino Administration, much has been and will be written about Mayor Menino's legacy. Many of these homages and critiques focus on the city's economic revitalization. Others describe the Mayor's ability to bring together diverse residents and neighborhoods in a city once defined by its fissures. Still others reference his commitment to public education or his outspoken support of LGBT rights. Perhaps even more noteworthy in a city that once prided itself on the rogue character of its leaders, many praise the Menino administration for steering free of scandals and corruption.
Having served as a member of Mayor Menino's administration for almost eight years as Corporation Counsel, I have observed a number of occasions in which Mayor Menino's seldom-recognized appreciation for the law and its ability to improve the lives of ordinary Bostonians has guided the formulation of City policies.
This article will highlight some of the ways in which the Menino administration employed law and legal process in its pursuit of a better Boston.
Legislation. The thousands of orders, ordinances and statutes the Mayor filed or championed during his twenty-year tenure reflect his awareness of the power of the law to elevate the condition of city residents, workers and visitors. The Mayor:

The Easy Benchmarking Suite consists of a set of Perl programs that make website benchmarking easy and repeatable. Benchmarking data can be easily obtained, analyzed and plotted. This document is also available in PDF format.
The Easy Benchmarking Suite is aimed at testing and benchmarking sites. Basically, the suite can:
This document describes the suite. Furthermore, manual pages are
provided for the separate parts of the suite:
sitecollect, and
In order to run the Easy Benchmarking Suite, you'll need:
Time::HiRes. Most (modern) Perl installations have
these modules on-board;
make (otherwise you can always install by hand).
The Easy Benchmarking Suite can be obtained at
http://public.e-tunity.com. The suite comes as an
.tar.gz, where X.YY
is a version specifier.
1.2.1: Installation using GNU Make
To install with
make, untar the archive and change-dir to
the directory
sitebenchmark that is created by unpacking the
archive. Next, type
make install. This installs the tools
/usr/local/bin and manual pages to
Optionally, you can change the installation prefix as follows:
export EBASE=/usr make install
This installs binaries under
/usr/bin and manpages under
If you're on a system that supports gzipped manpages, then optionally you can:
gzip /usr/local/share/man/man1/sitebench.1 gzip /usr/local/share/man/man1/sitecollect.1 gzip /usr/local/share/man/man1/siteplot.1
This saves some diskspace by compressing the manual pages.
1.2.2: Installation by hand
To install all relevent files by hand, simply copy
to a suitable directory in your PATH, e.g.:
cp src/* /usr/local/bin
To install the manual pages, copy all files named
doc/ to a suitable directory:
cp doc/sitebench.man /usr/local/share/man/man1/sitebench.1 cp doc/sitecollect.man /usr/local/share/man/man1/sitebench.1 cp doc/siteplot.man /usr/local/share/man/man1/siteplot.1
This package is distributed under the Gnu Public Licence (GPL,
or 'copyleft'). In short, this means that you're free to use
this package as you like, and you're free to redistribute it
-- provided that you redistribute all your changes too. See
one of the files
COPYING on your hard disk, or check at
However, if you do make changes to the package, then I'd like to hear from you. If you have bugfixes, send them to me, I'll incorporate them in the next release, and state you as contributor.
As for warranty: there is none. Use at your own risk. This package is distributed as-is, without assumptions of fitness or usability.
The program
sitebench collects raw data of the performance of
a website. It is the workhorse of the Easy Benchmark Suite.
2.1.1: Arguments
sitebench requires 5 arguments and reads stdin to obtain
the request to send to the website:
http:// and
without port specifier;
2.1.2: The Request to Send
sitebench reads stdin to find out what to send
to the site. The request to send must be valid HTTP request. A few
examples are given below.
This usually requests the top-level index document
index.html). Given the fact that no HTTP version is
specified, such requests are often called 'version 0.9' or
GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: www.mysite.org Connection: close
This specifies HTTP/1.0 as the version to use. Note that
the version specifically requests to close the TCP link after
processing. You'll always want this when working with
sitebench. The alternative to closing a connection is
-obviously- to keep it open, but that invalidates all timings,
so you won't want that.
POST /cgi-bin/lookupname.pl HTTP/1.0 Host: www.mysite.org Connection: close Content-length: 11 name=Karel
This sends the CGI-variable
name having value
Karel to
the stated address. Note again that the connection is not kept
Authorization to the request:
GET /protected/index.html HTTP/1.0 Host: www.mysite.org Connection: close Authorization: Basic abJzdfpkljkewpaiosdd==
The encoded string is username:password in base64-encoded format.
Normally you won't type such requests by hand, but will use a
browser such as Firefox with a plugin such as LiveHTTPHeaders to
collect a request. Such a request is then saved to a file
(e.g. named
request) and
sitebench us run as follows:
sitebench 20 50 10.1.2.78 80 Welcome < request > raw
This starts 20 clients where each client fires 50 requests at the
host 10.1.2.78, port 80. A 'hit' is considered successful when the
Welcome occurs in the server's answer. The output of
the benchmark is collected in a file
In order to see what's going on,
sitebench supports two
interesting flags:
-v makes the processing more verbose;
shows what it is doing, how many clients are active, and so
-s is 'single-shot' mode. Instead of having X clients
each firing Y requests, only one request by one client is
issued. The server answer is shown on
stdout. The flag
-s is very handy for verifying that the right server page
is accessed and for determining a correct matchstring.
The output of
sitebench is a stream of lines, where each line
has 3 to 5 numbers. The numbers represent:
1 if a connection was established to the server, or
0 otherwise. When this number is
1, then the
following fields are present;
1. Otherwise this number is
0. When
1, then
the next field is present;
Normally you won't examine these data by hand, but will use
sitecollect or
siteplot to get an overview.
The purpose of the program
sitecollect is to get a quick
overview of the data generated by
sitebench. There are no
arguments. The data to analyze are read from stdin, so that
the invocations are basically:
sitebench sitebench-arguments
| sitecollect
sitecollect < raw (where
raw is the output of
The output of
sitecollect is a quick overview of the
benchmarking test. The output is quite self-explanatory; here's an
example. A few remarks are made below the text.
Analysis Overview Failed connects: 0 Succeeded connects: 100 Mean successful connect time: 0.04868297 (1a) SD successful connect times: 0.0052129732341102 (1b) Failed matches: 0 Mean failed match request time: 0 SD failed match times: 0 Succeeded matches: 100 Mean succeeded match time: 0.00671961 (2a) SD succeeded match times: 0.00102671270735141 (2b) Mean total processing time: 0.05540258 (3a) SD total processing time: 0.0067818249961248 (3b)
sibench's match
string could be found in the server's response.
In general, shorter timings are of course better. However, if you find an SD that is large, then you've a clear indication of the server reaching its limit.
The purpose of
siteplot is to analyze the data obtained with
sitebench and to plot them.
For this,
siteplot requires two arguments, and a datastream on
stdin. The arguments are:
.*.data are datasets;
*.gnuplot are GnuPlot
command files;
*.png are PNG's of the
graphs (only generated when flag -p is given).
The input stream must be generated using
Usually, the easiest way to use
siteplot is to let it generate a
GnuPlot command file, as in
siteplot 'Benchmark of www.mysite.org' data < raw
raw is the filename of previously collected raw output
sitebench. After this, the following GnuPlot command files
are available:
.chronological.gnuplot: A chronological
overview of the benchmark, where the X axis shows the time as
the benchmark proceeded, and the Y axis shows the processing
times of transactions. This plot holds as many lines as
concurrent clients at the time of the benchmark.
.durationordered.gnuplot: This plot shows on
the X axis requests and on the Y axis their connect timings
and overall processing timings. The requests are sorted by
their processing timings.
Note that this plot isn't your typical statistical overview of data, but I find it very helpful. Given the fact that the fastest transactions occur on the left side of the plot and the slowest ones on the right (sorted by processing time, remember), the plot is usually a sigmoid curve that clearly shows:
.histogram.gnuplot: This plot shows a
histogram of on the X axis intervals of processing time, and
on the Y axis the number of transactions that fall in this
interval. The intervals are determined by
siteplot so that
all timings are divided into 100 pieces.
On Unix systems, a plot is easily generated using:
prompt> gnuplot gnuplot> load 'data.histogram.gnuplot'
This interactively shows the plot. By editing the GnuPlot command file, other output devices (e.g., a PNG writer) can be selected, so that plots are written as images.
siteplot is called with the
-p flag, then furthermore
*.png versions of the above files will be created, holding the
graphs in PNG format.
The Easy Site Benchmarking Suite has a subdirectory
where you may see how things work. The directory has a pre-cooked
freshmeat.net.raw with timings of
http://freshmeat.net, at 40 concurrent clients. Type
make in the
test/ subdirectory to complete tests.
This will generate an overview using
sitecollect, but more
importantly, it will generate a GnuPlot command file
freshmeat.net.gnuplot. To view the plot, fire up GnuPlot and
enter at the prompt:
load 'freshmeat.net.gnuplot'.
The plot immediately shows that the timings are relatively smoothly distributed:
If one assumes that 16 seconds is acceptable for most clients, then it follows that a few lucky ones are serviced somewhat quicker, and a few unlucky ones are serviced somewhat slower -- but all this is still acceptably near to oneother. Of course, the decision whether 16 seconds is acceptable, is quite another one...

Lost Animal is a music project / vehicle / band for Jarrod Quarrell, who said this about how the project freed his mind: "Before Lost Animal, I'd always wanted to use a broader sonic palette but was limited to what I or other band members could physically play. Especially wanted to use horns and marimba, steel drums too. Having access to any sound you can imagine through a keyboard opens up the possibilities endlessly,"
The album Ex Tropical from Lost Animal will be released this week on Hardly Art Records. Check out a full album stream.

First posting here on Broad Street Hockey from a Flyers fan down in Dallas, Texas. I didn't grow up with the sport, have never played it, but I've been a Flyers fan since the 80's when cable TV came to San Antonio and me and my best friend rooted for the underdog Flyers against the Oilers in their two Stanley Cup losses. I don't get to see them every game, just the miscellaneous game here and there shown on national TV, but I've been following BSH for a couple of years now and this site has become part of my daily routine.
It's that time of the year (at least for me) when I start thinking about how the Flyers shape up for the playoffs while reviewing their performance so far this year against the expectations I had for them going into the year.
As the season started, I was hopeful for a good Flyers team, but most likely not a great team. With so many new players, including important roles being held by NHL rookies, I was hoping for a playoff berth and maybe a first round win. I just couldn't see how everything would jell together in time to have hopes for more than that. I've been incredibly surprised and happy that the new guys have fit in well and the rookies have played like vets for most of the year (with some stretches of inconsistency here and there). Although I don't think the Flyers at this point of the season are a top 3-4 team, I do think they are easily a top 10 team and if a few things fall in their favor, I could see them being a feared team to play in the payoffs.
The biggest issue and what everyone seems to be discussing is the Flyers' defensive game - both the goaltender in net and the pairings in front of him. I think we can agree that the worst-case scenario anyone could have imagined at the start of the year has happened: Pronger is injured and out for the year and Bryz comes in and is actually a downgrade from the goaltending last year. With these two things coming to fruition it is even more amazing to me that the Flyers are where they are in the standings at this point in the season. It really is a testament to the players on the team and how hard they fight to win each night (and the coaching as well).
So do we trade one of our young Forwards for a Defenseman to try and improve the overall team? My thoughts tell me no, no, and a third no as well. If our top 6 includes Timonen, Carle, Coburn, Mesz, Bourdon, and Gus, I just don't think the substitute of any defensive player would be something that takes us from a playoff participant to a Stanley Cup Champion. The only thing that can do that at this point is if one of the goalies starts playing lights out each night and catches fire in the playoffs. Any of the proposed trades might make the Flyers more competitive (possibly), but with Bryz being so inconsistent and Bob still a bit of an unknown when it comes to playoff hockey expectations, I'd just as soon keep the Flyers youth intact, give Gus and Bourdon some playoff hockey experience and see how they react, and roll the dice hoping that a fire gets lit under Bryz or Bob.
I'm not a "wait until next year" guy and never will be. I still think if the right things happen, the Flyers can make a splash in the playoffs this year. In so many ways, it has been an incredible year so far. Out of the top 23 players heading into the playoff stretch, here is the breakdown in experience with the Flyers:
Rookies (7): Read (25), Schenn (20), Couturier (19), Zolnierczyk (24), Rinaldo (21), Bourdon (22), Gustafsson (23)
New Flyers (6): Jagr (39), Voracek (22), Simmonds (23), Talbot (27), Lilja (36), Bryzgalov (31)
Young Flyers vets (6): Giroux (24), Van Riemsdyk (22), Carle (27), Coburn (26), Meszaros (26), Bobrovsky (23)
Older Flyers vets: (4): Briere (34), Hartnell (29), Timonen (36), Shelly (35)
The youth on this team is just amazing! And how the Flyers have managed to fit 13 new players in one year without losing a step (or much of one) is just incredible. I'm excited to watch them finish out the second half of the season and if the goalie situation stabilizes (with either Bryz settling down or Bob seeing more time and maintaining his consistent level of quality), I'm happy to stay put with the Flyers as they are composed currently.
And I'm even more excited about where the Flyers are headed with the team. Potentially there are only 3 unknowns for next year: Jagr, Carle, and Pronger. A 4th unknown would be if there is an amnesty clause in the labor relations and if so, would the Flyers use it on Pronger or Bryz. My unqualified expectation would be that the Flyers keep Bryz, Pronger comes back healthy, and the Flyers sign Carle but can't get Jagr under the cap.
This would leave the team constructed as follows:
Forwards (top 6): Giroux Hartnell Van Riemsdyk Briere Voracek Read
Forwards (bottom 6): Schenn Simmonds Couturier Talbot Rinaldo Zolnierczyk Shelley
Defense: Pronger Timonen, Carle, Coburn, Meszaros, Gustafsson, Bourdon
Goaltending: Bryzgalov, Bobrovsky
(sending Lilja down to keep Walker company for the final years of their deals)
This team really excites me!! It's incredibly young, with 12 of the players 25 or younger, hopefully a year stronger, wiser, more experienced, and more comfortable playing together. And possibly Bryz would be a little more at ease in Philadelphia and be more consistent and play at a level more in line with his past experience. The potential 2012-13 version of the Flyers is a monster of a team - young, three scoring lines, three great defensive parings, an above average goalie pairing, and a nice sprinkling of veteran savvy.
Let's not mess that potential up by trading our youth for a rental who may or may not make a difference this year. At 21, Giroux was 9/18/27. At 22, he was 16/31/47, and at 23 he was 25/51/76. Van Riemsdyk at 20 was 15/20/35, at 21 he was 21/19/40, and at 22 (this year) he is on pace for approximately 40+ points again. Hopefully the Flyers will keep him and give him a chance to develop just as they let Giroux develop into the player he is currently.

This tent has a lot to recommend it. I have used it…
Price Paid: $270
This tent has a lot to recommend it. I have used it on five or six weekend trips now. Just stake out the four corners and the airbeams inflate in a minute. With just those stakes, the tent is very stable.
It is truly roomy enough for two, and the front is high enough to sit up in. I am 6'2" and find the extra couple of inches in each dimension a major convenience. Entrance and exit for two is quite doable, and despite the single-wall design, you can keep the screen open to look at the stars on a clear night.
The screen-and-fly at the entrance also keeps the worst condensation off you in the morning. As with any single-wall, there will be some moisture inside, but I have found it is moderate. Take-down is equally quick and easy, and because it starts with the stakes, it is easy to set up solo in a wind.
If you also stake out the vent at the foot and the side vents, the tent is pretty well ventilated and moisture is minimized. In 30 mph winds with 7 stakes, the tent holds up fine and the airflow is not excessive.
I have used this a bunch of times, most recently in the Grand Canyon with a couple of Big Agnes Fly Creeks also in our group. The Nemo weighs about 40 ounces more than the 2-person Big Agnes, but holds up to weather better and provides much more cubic footage. I felt it was worth the extra weight, and in the gusty night, the Nemo made a lot less noise than the Big Agneses. It feels pretty bomb proof, and sets up much more easily in wind.
I have also been in the tent solo when the temperature unexpectedly plummeted to around 10 F, and it retained warmth quite well. I was fine in my 10-degree bag. It is not a 4-season tent, but clearly could handle mild winter camping.
I am giving it 4.5 stars because it is extremely good for what it is, but the weight is significant. It is hard to resist the 3-pound Big Agnes Fly Creek when the weather is expected to be mild, and you have to wonder if the thing could be lightened a bit.
The whole air beam thing is fantastic. The tent sets…
Design: Air beam 3 season
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: The best
Weight: Very light
Price Paid: $359
The whole air beam thing is fantastic. The tent sets up in minutes and long after I am packed up others are still tearing down BUT I got tons of condensation in this tent. I realize this is common in single wall tents so maybe it really is not a tent issue but I did not know this fact earlier when I bought the tent.
I have since returned the tent and purchased a dbl wall tent.
I did find the Nemo well built, sturdy and would have been very happy if not for the rain shower inside the tent.
The tent also travel very small and comes with all that is needed.

I've tried numerous methods to remove this virus (I think that's what it is), including various standalone Norton removal tools. All to no avail. The one tool (NPE.exe) stated it removed 18 threats. Then, running it again, it removed 5 more. But the real threat still exists: System Security Suite 2012, which reposts numerous Trojan horses and bad processes, but is in fact the only real threat on the computer.
Any help?

Hi NSA1964:
Welcome to the Norton forum.
Could you please post back and let us know details about your Windows OS and the exact version of your Norton product (Support | About). I'm not exactly sure if you mean that you have a Norton security product that came pre-installed on your computer (e.g., Norton 360, Norton Internet Security 2012) that is detecting Trojans and other malware on your system.
The heuristic detection in Norton products like Norton Internet Security 2012 sometimes simply identify "suspicious" software on your system and give it a generic name like Trojan.ADH.2 (see oldsojer's post here for one example) if the malware is a low threat or is relatively new. If you have a working Norton product on your system, perform a full system scan (Scan Now | Full System Scan) to see if it can delete or quaratine the malware on your system.
If you think you have malware on your system that the Norton Power Eraser is unable to remove, try downloading and running the free Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) scanner. MBAM may find some old registry entries and PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), which are usually just inert files on your hard drive left over from uninstalled toolbars, etc. and shouldn't be cause for great concern.

A user on Bleeping also has System Security Suite 2012. It appears to be a rogue AV, probably with a rootkit in behind.

Hi NSA1964:
Do the screen shots here for the System Security 2012 Trojan here look familiar? If so, I would install and update MBAM, disconnect from the Internet, and run full system scan with MBAM as soon as possible. If that doesn't remove this malware, I would immediately post in the WhatTheTech Virus, Spyware & Malware Removal forum here or the BleepingComputer Security forum here as soon as possible and let a malware removal expert take you through the required steps to remove this malware from your system. Pick one forum to post in - I've used the WhatTheTech forum myself and thought it was excellent, but both forums come highly recommended.

So I'm looking to buy tickets for somewhere in the beginning or middle of the season to a Bills game for me and my girlfriend and I'm worried that if I wait even a few weeks, I'll only be able to get the nosebleeds on the upper level at the Ralph.
So my question is what do you guys usually do for Bills tickets? Do you go to the official website and get them there? Do you get the from a re-sale website? Craigslist? Also if anybody has season tickets I'd be glad to purchase two of them for a game and bring them back to you.

Tyler Junior College is getting involved in a project to help foster children. It's called the "Heart Gallery." We told you about the project a couple months ago. Photographers across the country, including here in East Texas, are working for free taking professional portraits of foster children. This traveling exhibit raises awareness of foster children and adoption. In this Gift of Love report, we visit a TJC photography class as they tell a foster child's story through pictures.
Nine year old Joseph, or Joey as he's called, practices his smile. He's about to get his portrait taken. Tamara Haynes, at Tyler Junior College, is the one behind the camera. She's teaching her class how to tell this foster child's story without speaking a word.
"If it's done correctly it can really not just show their image but it can say a lot about their personality and the way they deal with objects around them and just the way they look at life," says Tamara.
One of Joey's favorite objects comes on four wheels. "I like to play with my cars."
"He's a hot wheels fanatic. In fact, when we leave here we have to go buy 2 hot wheels. One red and one blue," says Kathy Myers his Child Protective Services caseworker.
Joey was removed from his home because of chronic neglect. As a result, he is quiet around strangers. Kathy says, "He needs to feel needed. He really does and if you show him that you care and that you're interested in what he has to say, then he kind of warms up to you faster."
Joey was placed in foster care with his two sisters. They have since been adopted. He is now in counseling dealing with the stress of losing first his parents and now his siblings. "It was real hard on Joseph. He got to thinking that if his behavior got better they'd come back and get him," says Kathy.
Joey would do best in a family that is patient, consistent and willing to spend one-on-one time with this loving young boy. He needs a family that can work through his past, seeing his true spirit, as the camera captured today.
Joey needs a lot of attention but more importantly, a lot of love. Kathy says, "He can bring a lot of joy. He's a light. He just makes you glow when you see him. Sometimes Joey just touches your heart. He's got that soft smile about him."
If you'd like to know more about Joey call our Gift of Love hotline. The toll free number is 1-888-kids-275.
