- I was wondering how Torbutton and Tor change IP when browsing internet using Firefox?
- I learned that using proxy can change IP to be the IP of the proxy server. But is the way by Torbutton and Tor the same as using a proxy?
- With Torbutton and Tor, why is IP only changed when browsing internet using Firefox, and not changed outside Firefox, such as using a different browser application?
Torbutton does not change anything. It just tells Firefox to use Tor.
When you use a proxy server, the browser sends all your HTTP requests to that server, which forwards them to their final destination.
Your actual address is not changed, it's only disguised, because the web server only sees what connected to it directly – in this case, the proxy.
(However, if someone takes control over the proxy, they can monitor everything sent through it (such as who uploaded files to Site X). Often, it's the server's owner themselves.)
With Tor, the request is routed through several servers, and encrypted separately for each:
This way, the web server only sees a connection coming from node C, while C only sees a connection from B. Only node A knows where the user is, but it doesn't know what the user is transferring.
(This is called onion routing. See also Tor Overview.)
Tor is a proxy, but it works in a different way than the "proxy servers" you're used to. See description above.
Torbutton, again, is only a button that reconfigures Firefox.
Torbutton is a Firefox add-on and is only able to reconfigure Firefox. Tor does not change any settings itself – when you start it, it only waits for connections. You yourself have to tell programs to connect through it.
If the program supports using a SOCKS 5 proxy server, point it to
1.)You're really asking how oinion routing works which is incredibly complex and beyond the scope of this site. Here's a good summary.
2.) It's not the same as a proxy although it does use proxy services
3.) tor doesn't proxify everything by default. You need to set up each app to use it.
The Tor site actually has a pretty good description of how onion routing works. Essentially each Tor node encapsulates the requests that it receives and forwards the encapsulated request to the next node.
The ability of Tor to hide originating source addresses from the destination server is dependant on the traffic that is being passed. In general, the destination server will see the IP address of the last hop Tor node; however this is not always the case. For example, a website might embed some Javascript that submits the local IP address into some form data.
Only the applications that are configured to use Tor a proxy will benefit.

We enjoyed our stay in Sopot a lot. The apartment has a nice location, it's close to the beach and in the heart of Sopot. The facilities are great, too. The only thing we missed, though, was wifi. Our contact person was service minded and helpfull. Thank you!
Sehr schöne, super gelegene Unterkunft in Sopot. Die Wohnung ist für vier Personen gut geschnitten. Sehr netter Vermieter, der sehr hilfsbereit ist.
Nice, clean apartment at a super location! Very satisfied with our stay!
Apartment very good and nice and closed to the main area Monte Casino. Minus one star depending on somewhat bad parking possibilities for the cars. Minus one star then the apartment's wireless internet no good. Very slow! Internet must be upgraded. We used our from Sweden brought wifi with roaming instead. The 4g is good in Poland. Very nice people in the rental company. We found Sopot a very nice place and we recommend it!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was as we had expected. Big advantages was the spacious rooms and the location. Our host was extremly service minded and made sure that we got the most out of our stay.
The only remark is that the apartment wasn't cleaned Hood enough after the former guests.
We would definatly recommend this apartment!
It was a very nice apartment with a good locasion.
Nice and clean Apartment located in a quiet street, but still close to Monte Cassino. Large enough for a family of five. Our host was service minded and followed up our queries rather promptly.
The apartment "Grande" was dirty. The oven had not been cleaned, there was old food in the freezer and the floors were dirthy. The kitchen was not equipped for 7 people and there was no mop to clean the floors. The only place to dry clothes and towels was a broken drying rach. We called the owner and he fixed everthing except the drying rack and the hole week we had difficulties to dry our clothes and towels
The owner was helpful and reachable and ordered taxies for us both ways. The apartment was big enough for 7 people
are very unhappy with the accomodation! Not completed when we arrived! söndrig hotplate, unattached electrical outlets, stopping in the kitchen drain, inadequate kitchen facilities with broken pans o much missing! Then you have to be informed that it is located on the fifth floor without a lift!
är väldigt missnöjda med bostaden!Ej genomgången när vi kom!Söndrig spisplatta,ej fastsatta eluttag,stopp i köksavlopp,bristfällig köksutrustning med trasigt stekjärn o mycket som saknades!Sen måste man bli upplyst om att den ligger på femte våningen utan hiss!

I want to set up a continuous integration and test framework for my open source C++ project. The desired features are:
1. check out the source code
2. run all the unit and other tests
3. run performance tests (these measure the software quality - for example how long does it take the system to complete the test)
4. produce a report based on 3. and 4. daily
5. archive the reports for future reference
To implement this, which test framework and what continuous integration process would you recommend? Right now I am leaning towards Google Test Framework (I am aware of some of the comparisons of unit test frameworks discussed in other questions) for tests and Cruisecontrol for continuous integration. But I don't know if Cruisecontrol allows easy integration of performance metrics.
Edit: To answer Wilhelmtell, code should work with both Windows and Linux.

Jose Reyes to the Marlins: The Conflicting Emotions of A Miami-Residing Mets Fan
I was in the stands at Shea Stadium in 2006 when Endy Chavez, God bless his tiny heart, made this heroic catch in the NLCS' Game 7 to seemingly seal the Mets' glorious destiny.
That was the last time I've ever experienced joy. Three innings later, Carlos Beltran was frozen by an Adam Wainwright curveball that ended the Mets' season. The team has been on a Scott Storch-caliber fall from grace ever since, marked by incredible late-season meltdowns and a mess of firings and disastrous contracts and Bobby Bonilla and a Ponzi scheme. Then I moved from my hometown of New York to South Florida.
Now Jose Reyes-- our lovely Jose Reyes-- has been signed for $100-million-plus over six years by an alleged team calling itself the Miami Marlins. This has sent me on a Hamlet-esque spiral of emotions. A mental log of coming to terms with this sad new reality:
I am the one true victim of Bernie Madoff. The Mets "invested" in ol' Bernie-Pants' money machine. The team now claims to be losing $70 million a year, which is why they had no chance at keeping Reyes. Forget those families that lost their entire life savings. I just lost the only dude in the majors who grins as he legs out a triple.

At least the Mets still have Bobby Bonilla. Though "Barry Bonds' Ineffectual Left Testicle," as he was affectionately called throughout his playing career, left the Mets in 1999 and the Major Leagues two years later, the world's dumbest interest-laden contract will pay him $1.5 million annually until 2036. Which explains a lot about the Mets' financial predicament. If the front office was utterly fleeced by baseball's most mediocre outfielder, what chance did it stand against history's greatest con artist?
Who the hell am I going to root for? I have never loved a fellow more carnally -- in a baseball sense -- than Jose Reyes. He was the man I regularly stalked in Queens. Watching him play in Little Havana is going to be like walking in on my lifelong crush having sex with another man. Who is wearing a lot of Ed Hardy. Eighty-one times a year. And whenever I accidentally turn on FSN, it'll be like watching a heartbreaking sex tape. The Mets are so utterly miserable that there's no blaming Reyes for leaving. I don't think I can bring myself to root against him. Maybe I need to don a Marlins cap, sunglasses and a fake mustache, Bobby Valentine-style?
The Mets just went from having at least the second-greatest shortstop in baseball to starting the second-greatest Tejada in baseball. What I'm trying to say here, is that Ruben Tejada -- he of the .256 batting average over 544 career at-bats -- is the Mets' new starting shortstop. The Marlins, meanwhile, have Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes, which is kind of like if Led Zeppelin hired Jimi Hendrix and was like, "Yeah, we know we have that Jimmy Page guy already, we'll figure it out in March." Mets fans living in South Florida -- which, judging from the turnout when the team plays the Marlins here, is 78-percent of all local baseball fans -- will be daily forced to face facts: We are now groupies of a frontman-less The Experience.

(TUCSON, AZ) -- With the cold weather starting to set in across the country, we at Old Pueblo thought we would share some of our heat with the rest of the country. Over the last month, Old Pueblo Distribution has released some sexy scorchers.
Hypnotic Illusions starring Aimee Sweet, Jelena Jensen, Justine Joli, Charmane Star, Cassie Courtland, Jezebelle Bond and what turns out to be, Sarah Blake in one of her last hardcore scenes ever... This film follows the life of Dr. Craving and her insatiable appetite for sexy sirens and all the naughty acts they perform. Dr. Craving, played by Aimee Sweet explores and manipulates the sexual beings inside each of these women to become the little sex-pots they so desire to become. This title is destined to be huge seller for years to come, combining the absolutely beautiful with a storyline and extremely hot sexual relations.
Realty Angels from Xposure Entertainment, a story based about the life a Realtor. Now, I don't know about you, but I bought my house from some fat dude with a bald head, but luckily here, these realtors are some sexy bitches. Luckily, one of the realtors has become one of the hottest, most extreme web girls in the industry; Extreme Holly performs one of her first scenes ever, which turns out to be a sensual exploration towards her life of debauchery. Based in Tucson, AZ, the heat is not the only thing burning the screen up. Chloe Fay, takes the lead as the experienced sales professional who realized quickly, that being on her knees always ends up giving her more than just huge cock. Having a unique cast of Chloe Fay, Erin Moore, Alisha Lane, Smokie Flame and Extreme Holly has catapulted this tale of sexual adventures into the history books.
Peter's Beach House XXX is truly one of the most beautiful films that has been released this year. Shot entirely on location in a remote island location of Hawaii, Peter finds himself with a huge beautiful house and nobody to enjoy it with. Well, simple way to fix this, put an ad in the paper for free rent on the beach, (here's the best part) stings are attached. Once the vivacious Keeani shows up at the house searching the illusive "free rent", this film takes a turn for absolute perfection. Each woman to show up learns quickly that "free rent" is well worth it given the huge cocks that are placed in each and every hole available. With Victoria, Lynn, Goldie, Annabelle, Kylie and Brin all featured in this beach odyssey, this film could easily be the hottest movie shot in years. It never hurts to have all the scenes shot directly on the beach with the sun setting across the pacific, damn, I am getting all worked up just thinking about it.
F.I.L.T.H Hunters from Rockstarz Films comes out of the gates swinging. Written and directed by newcomer Eden Paige, Hunters has hardcore action from a female perspective. Why does Paige choose the adult genre showcase her skills? "I look at it as a film genre like any other," she says. Paige continues breaking stereotypes by "finding softcore fluff to be boring, I'm of the belief that if it's not something I would be turned on by, then it's a waste of my time making it. Featuring an all-star cast of rising starlets and industry superstars, F.I.L.T.H. Hunters tells the story of Nikki (Mandy Taylor), who misses being with men, but her girlfriend, Ella (Hailey Young), wants nothing to do with them. James (Barrett Blade) is bored with his 9 to 5 life and his white picket-fence family. Sophia (Violet Blue) and her husband Frank (Tyler Burden) have lost the spark in their love life. But all that is about to change!! F.I.L.T.H. Hunters proves sometimes you just have to take life by the cock and fuck it. Don't let the cold get you down, let the heat from the Old Pueblo get you warmed up!!! Old Pueblo Distribution is a corporation designed to bring together some of the best and most varied talent the adult industry has to offer, building an environment that allows the creative end of the business the opportunity to concentrate on their true abilities while assembling a professional team designed to support and promote their assets forward. The resulting effect is a business that delivers customers high-quality product and the service they demand. The days of "It's just porn" are behind us!
If your distributor doesn't carry OPD, Call Arnold at 520-319-5709 or firstname.lastname@example.com OPD wishes everyone a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Receive Director's Message updates by email
One of the cornerstones of our work is protecting and promoting healthy Oregon communities. Over the past few months, we've been working with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) to address air safety issues in the Portland area, especially around glass factories. This week, we took that work to a different level.
On Thursday, DEQ Interim Director Pete Shepherd and I launched a statewide regulatory reform process to create health-based air quality rules for all of Oregon—and fix major gaps in air safety rules that emissions from the glass companies have revealed. This overhaul is a key component of Governor Brown's Cleaner Air Oregon program. It is an important step for Oregon and our agencies.
Lynne Saxton speaks at the April 21 Environmental Quality Commission meeting
Our goal is to connect Oregon's air toxics regulations to the values Oregonians care about most: healthy people and families, clean air and water, and economically thriving communities. Because we are rethinking our environmental quality regulations to focus on health, it means OHA will participate in the process in a much more intensive way. We will go beyond the limited technical advisory role we've played in DEQ rule-making in the past. This time, we will partner with DEQ every step of the way in producing new regulations.
This regulatory overhaul will extend well into next year. Reforming Oregon's air quality regulations is an urgent and necessary task. At the same time, it's important we take the time to hear from all parts of Oregon's diverse geographic and stakeholder communities so we get it right.
In the meantime, OHA will continue to work with our state and local partners to help communities identify, assess and address environmental health issues confronting their residents.
On Thursday we announced our plan to launch Healthy Places Oregon. Depending on funding, our goal is to collaborate with five to 10 priority communities across Oregon to evaluate the environmental factors that affect the health of individuals, families and their surrounding neighborhoods.
Different communities face different challenges. In some places, residents may have concerns about industrial emissions. In others, it might be air pollution from cars and trucks. In others, it could be wood smoke, pesticides, or the health impacts of climate change. In each community, we want to work with neighbors and local leaders to conduct a public health assessment and identify solutions they can pursue.
In addition, we'll continue to focus on helping residents of Portland neighborhoods exposed to emissions from glass manufacturing facilities. We're analyzing weekly air sampling data to ensure people aren't exposed to unhealthy levels of emissions. We're conducting a comprehensive analysis of long-term health effects. We're continuing to require that urine tests which show high levels of cadmium be reported to our Public Health Division and we're providing no-cost tests to those who live near the glass factories. Most importantly, we are providing residents with up-to-date information about safer air so they can make informed decisions.
Together with our partners, we can make Oregon a state of healthy places and people. Thank you for all you do to improve the health of Oregonians.
Thank you,
To your health: Happy Earth Day! We live in a state full of spectacular physical wonders, but some communities don't share the same access to physical health. In Oregon, place matters.

First Look: 2014 Defense
Black and Gordon are the only two starters departing. [Eric Upchurch and Bryan Fuller]
- DT Jibreel Black. Went from average-sized SDE to undersized three-tech to massively incredibly undersized NT over course of the season; effective pass rusher; clubbed by double teams a lot, especially late; NFL FA camp cut type.
- S Thomas Gordon. Inexplicably futzed with midseason as coaches were dissatisfied with him for reasons obscure to me; was that one touchdown on which he was a step late against MSU really that bad? Never a playmaker, but rarely busted large; a solid performer; coaches don't think they'll miss him, I guess.
- SAM Cam Gordon. Michigan's leader in sacks on the season, which says a lot about the Michigan pass rush, no offense Mr. Gordon; beat out first by Beyer and then by Ryan once he returned; did provide quality depth.
- NT Quinton Washington. Lack of utilization only explained by nagging injury, disease, or vampirism, assuming that really bright stadium lights also qualify in this version of vampirism. Like seriously they played Jibreel Black at NT over this guy after he was very good as a junior. Inexplicable. I guess they won't miss him much because they didn't play him?
- Nickelback/S Courtney Avery. Pushed out of corner rotation by freshmen; relegated to rotating in at safety, where he blew coverages because he played them like he was a nickelback. Missed a tackle on Braxton Miller spectacularly.
- SLB Jake Ryan. Was not the barbarian he was as a sophomore with just 4.5 TFLs in his eight games played, but came back from ACL tear in about three weeks so was probably not full-go. Michigan really needs him to return to his terrorizing ways as a senior.
- MLB Desmond Morgan. Better player than he's given credit for; had to deal with way too many free-releasing Gs who saw Michigan's DTs as no threat late; thumper; coverage was pretty solid, at least insofar as when someone tried to dump a ball over Morgan's head he was inches away from making a play.
- CB Blake Countess. Ruthlessly exposed by Tyler Lockett in bowl game; prior to that, largely avoided because when not avoided he was picking off six passes. When not put up against Tyler Lockett, very good, and as a redshirt sophomore. A step up would maybe put him somewhere in the vicinity of All Big Ten.
- CB Raymon Taylor. Targeted extensively; won some; lost some; four INTs of his own, most of them impressive. Run support a problem. Probably good! Probably.
- S Jarrod Wilson. Inexplicably benched midseason like Gordon, then explicably so in the OSU game because he had a huge cast on his hand. Not a playmaker, not a source of WHY DID YOU NO OUCH touchdowns, which is pretty good for a sophomore. Will be relied upon heavily in secondary with little experience other than his person.
- WLB James Ross III. Year lacked impact thanks to poor DT play in front of him; still second on the team in tackles with 85. Never going to be a big guy; needs the defense to shape itself around his abilities by having big ol' absorbers in front so he can slash. Prognosis: maybe.
- SDE Brennen Beyer. Impact rusher early in the year—at least in the context of Michigan's pass rush—faded later; when Ryan came back was shuffled from SAM to SDE, where he was wildly undersized. Hoping for a Roh 2.0 senior season.
- WDE Frank Clark. Total non-factor for first half of season, and just when everyone had given up turned it on and turned in a Tim Jamison-as-a-senior year with 12 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. Somehow became second team All Big Ten with those numbers and 43 total tackles; next year may deserve that.
- DT Willie Henry. When Willie Henry says he trusts a man as far as he can throw them, he means it as a compliment. Massively strong freshman alternated person-hurlin' with guys getting under his pads and blowing him up. Needs technique badly; if he gets it will be fantastic.
- NT Ondre Pipkins. Making some progress when he tore his ACL midseason, complicating many things. Can a very large man keep up the conditioning and recover in time to be effective by fall? Let's hope so.
- MLB Joe Bolden. Sophomore essentially a third starter behind Ross and Morgan; still tends to take hits rather than deliver them; blew a lot of coverages early in the season; figures to reprise role next year.
- SDE/DT Chris Wormley. Tall guy; made a few plays; mostly a nonfactor; freshman.
- An Enormous Pile Of Returning, Undifferentiated Defensive Linemen. Ojemudia, Charlton, Glasgow, Godin, Heitzman, etc.
Pipkins and Henry are big boys. [Fuller]
A nose tackle! Probably. Also, more size. Michigan's line went from somewhat undersized to massively so when Pipkins went out and Beyer moved from SAM to SDE, giving you a line that often read: Beyer(250 lbs), Black (285), Henry (306), Clark (280). In retrospect, that was asking for it, and Ohio State gave us what we asked for.
Next year Black is out, replaced by some combination of Pipkins, Henry, Maurice Hurst, and maybe Richard Ash. If Henry does get drafted into the nose rotation, Godin and Wormley will probably man the three-tech at 300-ish pounds each. Beyer, meanwhile, will embark on the bacon smoothie diet Craig Roh did as he prepared to play his senior year as an undersized SDE, and while he's still going to be less than ideal at that spot he'll be a lot more plausible at 280.
Jabrill Peppers. Is it too much to hype Jabrill Peppers up as a potential program-changing dude? In year one, probably. But there's an obvious role for him on this defense: boundary corner. Michigan's DBs are generally tiny dudes, and the guys who aren't, like Channing Stribling, are skinny. Michigan could use a 210 pound corner, especially since that pushes Taylor to the nickel package, and that seems like a pretty good nickel package.
Someone next to Wilson. The greatest uncertainty on the defense is who takes over for Thomas Gordon. Josh Furman is an option after getting some playing time late last year; he does not seem like a good one. The other candidates:
- Delano Hill. Claim to fame is being in the middle of OSU fracas that got a couple of contributors booted. Supposedly a guy with a good understanding of safety; definitely a quality athlete.
- Jeremy Clark. 6'4" potential ballhawk will be a redshirt sophomore.
- Dymonte Thomas. Supposed lock starter after spring marginalized; blocked a punt in the opener and missed a tackle when forced into the lineup in the Nebraska game by Countess's concussion.
- Converted Corner. There are a lot of corners and one may get a look further back. Stribling and Reon Dawson are the most likely, because they're not 5'10".
It's nice to have four options instead of two, or one, or zero; there is no indicator who's going to get the nod. Something to watch in spring.
Veterans. I've piled the various returning DL into one bullet point and glossed over Channing Stribling and Jourdan Lewis; Michigan loses just two starters and three contributors while returning everyone else. They'll have three year starters at CB (two, in fact), LB (also two), and on the DL (possibly two, depending on how you classify Brennen Beyer).
Depth. Five guys go out the door, and in compensation Michigan gets to age 14 defensive linemen and welcome in Bryan Mone early. Michigan has a solid two deep everywhere on the line save NT, which is still in the air; they return three ILBs with a lot of experience; they may be bumping a senior three year starter to nickel depending on Peppers, and where do Lewis and Stribling go this year, let alone the two corners they redshirted a year ago?
Pass rush. Michigan was 70th in sack percentage (sacks / (passing attempts + sacks)) this year, which is worlds better than it felt like. It is still not good. A half step forward from Frank Clark gets him to 8 or 10, and then a full year of a healthy Jake Ryan adds another 5 or 6, and… actually, you're getting towards pretty good already there. There is the potential for this to move into the 30s, which would be a huge boost to every unit's pass defense.
Getting crushed by spread 'n' shreds. This post was going to be a lot sunnier before the last two games of the year, in which Michigan was bludgeoned. Before that they'd turned in a lot of good performances in which they gave up the ghost late. Their one truly bad performance was getting smoked by Indiana, and that was seemingly more for reasons of unfamiliarity and lack of preparation than out-and-out talent.
Then OSU and KSU laid waste. Now you go back and look at Northwestern clubbing Michigan last year only to lose on a Hail Mary and South Carolina's crew of 5'9" speedsters slicing up M's secondary as South Carolina used their QB to paper over the fact their OL couldn't block for their tailback. Or Ohio State putting up 34 in their lost 6-7 year. There seems to be a developing narrative of Michigan failing to contain spread-to-run offenses more often than not. For every 2013 Minnesota there are two 2011 Ohio States. I would say this is reminiscent of the Carr era, but Michigan would have to be a lot better for that to be true.
Getting crushed generally, up the middle. I want to move Henry to nose tackle in my mind, but then 3-tech becomes this jumble of Wormley/Godin/Strobel/Poggi and I'm not sure how confident I am in that. But then: can you rely on Pipkins, and who is your 0.5 starter at nose? Hurst? Ash? I don't want to move Henry out of the starting lineup, but I don't want him trying to play two positions, and I don't want a questionable Pipkins backed up by a freshman.
Are the corners actually good? Now we get to extend this argument about Taylor to a larger stage. PRO: between them the two starting CBs had ten interceptions, virtually all of them the impressive sort where the corner makes a play. No batted balls here. CON: Michigan was 49th in YPA allowed at 6.9. PRO: with a crappy pass rush and safety issues. CON: what safety issues?
I'll take 10 INTs and slightly above average pass defense with that pass rush and those huge chunks of yards Stribling and Lewis gave up because of phasing/gypsy issues. Yes, Tyler Lockett annihilated them. Tyler Lockett does that to everybody. Every-damn-body. Against mortals, I would expect Taylor/Countess to be a high quality pairing. But, you know… Lockett.
What about James Ross? He was supposed to be the bees' knees according to someone. Oh, right, me. He was kind of eh, his year bookended by passing spread after passing spread in which he was mostly dropping into zones effectively and injury. More than anyone else he was hurt by having Black and Henry as DTs, as those guys tended to dart into the backfield to do something and get all the credit or get blown up. In the first case there was a guy releasing into him free; in the second he had to try to pick around three guys moving the wrong way to make his read worth anything.
I think Ross will be good if Michigan can keep him clean.
Oh good another new safety. I hate new safeties.
Despite the alarming trend at the end of the year, the arrow does point up for this outfit, which loses very few contributors and has a ton of guys competing to break through into the starting lineup. There are something like five cornerbacks I'd be relatively confident to see on the field, which is 3-5 more than usual. The linebackers return almost entirely intact; the line does as well. They should be better—possibly a lot better.
The major looming issue is defensive tackle. The Pipkins injury was the worst possible one for the defense to suffer, as they have scant options right now a position on the field where you need at least 1.5 starters.
I don't think I can predict this is a top 10-ish defense without one elite DL, and I don't think I see that happening. Clark and Henry both have potential; I don't think either is going to truly blow up. But plenty of depth and experience everywhere should provide Michigan an opportunity to cut down on the mistakes significantly and ramp it up against everyone who can't just maul them on the line. How many teams will be able to do that… let's say two? Two.
I still think this is a unit that takes a leap forward next year. It's a leap forward from ten spots further back now, but a legit top 20 outfit is my median expectation.
Hokepoints: Charting Defensive Rotation
Wot it sez up dere^. Despite the blowout nature we got a good look last Saturday at the various positions that Michigan will rotate this season. So I charted who was in at what spot for every play. The results (link to Google doc):
Here's your starting defense, with everybody in their base 4-3 under spots. I want to self-congratulate the MGoStaff for nailing the starting lineup in HTTV with the exception of free safety, since Avery, though out of the lineup, was nominally ahead of Wilson on the depth chart.
The corners lined up to the field or boundary; the line was usually aligned to the formation but then CMU usually aligned to the boundary anyway. The safeties were always lined up to the formation. They split who ended up the deeper guy; usually it was the field guy, and usually that was Wilson.
There was heavy rotation in the front four, an almost even three-man rotation in the linebackers, and the secondary stayed put until it was time to empty the bench. It was rotation, not platooning; guys would go in for a certain number of plays then come out. I charted 44 non-garbage (before 14:59 of the 3rd quarter) plays; rotations as follows:

This Week's Obsession: Defensive Trajectory
Heininger Certainty Principle passed its first two tests with QWash and Campbell (Upchurch)
It's our weekly roundtable to talk about things that Michigan fans—and by Michigan fans I mean just me—are obsessing about. In honor of the family road trips you just got back from, this week's it's a great big "Are we there yet?" In the game:
The question:
In 2011 Michigan was 6th in scoring defense, 17th in total defense, and 16th in defensive FEI. In 2012 Michigan finished 19th in scoring defense, 13th in total D, and 26th in defensive FEI. Do you consider that treading water, an expected fall given the DL graduations and tougher schedule, or a veiled improvement? And where do you see this trend going in 2013?
Seth: I admit this topic was a little brought on by panic after getting persistently torched in NCAA 14, which could just mean that Desmond Morgan is way better at playing as Desmond Morgan than I am.
BiSB: From my understanding, Tracy Morgan is better at being Desmond Morgan than is Seth. I'd bet that Morgan Fairchild is probably a better Desmond Morgan. But that's neither here nor there.
Michigan didn't take a significant step back in 2012, which I would consider a victory. Replace WMU, SDSU, and Virginia Tech with Air Force, Alabama, and South Carolina, and you're gonna have a bad time. Factor in a regression to the mean on the fumble recoveries and the lack of Mike Martin, and those defensive numbers look pretty good to me. They actually gave up about 3 ppg fewer in conference in 2012 despite a tougher road/away split (though obvious BIG TENNNNN caveat applies). 2012 also felt more repeatable, though I have no objective means to demonstrate this.
I don't think 2013 is the Great Leap Forward, but I think we'll see continued progress. The numbers will probably look shinier if for no other reason than the easier schedule, but I'd bet on the defense being 'better' as well. The secondary will be more athletic, which should go a long way toward helping combat the 2012 struggles with spread teams. Hopefully Dymonte Thomas can indeed be deployed as the spread neutralizer. The ILBs will probably still have some struggles with the learning curve (and the training table), but last year's experience should lessen the pain. The meat of the schedule doesn't arrive until November, by which point Jake Ryan will hopefully be settling back onto his throne of skulls and flow. Questions remain on the D-Line, but Will Heininger. /Offers a small running back as a sacrifice to the Mattison. Praise be unto the Mattison. May his swag reign for a hundred seasons.
Mathlete: When I was preparing my pre-season projections, I compared the the 2013 Michigan defense profile to teams from the last several years, the nearest comparison, 2012 Michigan. In terms of production returning, recruiting profile and prior year performance this year's defense looks a lot like last year's squad. The turnover randomness could swing things a bit and with a strong group of underclassmen and Greg Mattison, there is certainly potential for upside.
The schedule should help mitigate the statistical rank downside risk, but if there was going to be a year where things took a step back, this looks like the only candidate. With that said, I don't see that happening. Defenses are a lot more stable and predictable in performance than offenses. Look at experience, look at recruiting profile, check to see that there are no stuffed animals on the sidelines and you should have a pretty good idea where your defense will end up. I rank this year's defense as the 10th most talented (based on age and recruiting profiles) in the country and they return nearly three quarters of their production from last year's squad. It appears we caught a break with the schedule and the timing of Jake Ryan's ACL tear with a Tommy Rees led Notre Dame offense the only major game he should miss. There is always a chance things don't turn out, but I don't see anything that says this year will be a major step back and if anything a few areas that could be signs that 2013 could be a step forward.
Seth: You guys keep denigrating my skills at videogame defense, as if you're not just mashing the "plow" button with Quinton Washington every play while trusting Gibson to run your defensive backs. To answer my question above, I thought Washington's emergence was very significant. The drop-off from Martin and Van Bergen to not them was going to be steep, and it happened but the linebackers improved to such a degree as to make it null. I blame the schedule and losing Countess early to any discrepancy (J.T. Floyd wasn't as solid against the Kenny Bells as he had been in 2011 vs. the big leapers). I also blame offensive regression for the difference in scoring D.
Things are still coming along. Other than Air Force—blessedly we don't face one of those again—the defense didn't have any game where they performed significantly below expectations. Mattison didn't like the Nebraska game but raise of hands who thinks that was on the D? Northwestern is a legitimately good offense, even when Trevor Siemian isn't turning into an unstoppable throw god.
I'm less concerned about who rotates in at 5-tech since there's a lot of meat for the meat god there, and Heitzman wasn't so bad last year. What worries me is what we'll look like early. Jibreel Black versus Notre Dame's offensive line, and Jarrod Wilson versus a Brian Kelly passing attack: those are what scare me. Wilson will be good one day but right now he appears to be a big dropoff from Kovacs and needs some starts in a bad way. Later in the year I think we'll have more faces appearing at the 3- and 5-tech rotations, with contributions from Wormley, Henry, Godin, Strobel, and backup options including a highly regarded true freshman, or the other Glasgow, or even some of that Washington-Pipkins action they keep denying. They'll be a much better defense when they face Ohio State than when Notre Dame comes to town; in the aggregate they'll look better in yardage thanks to competition but tread water otherwise.
Blue in South Bend: I think having Countess back will be huge. I'd remind you that with him in the game, we held Alabama to a three-and-out (miniscule sample size National Champions wooooo). I do worry about whether Wilson can prevent the home run plays the way Kovacs did, but overall I do think the secondary will be a surprising strength of this team.
/Offers a second small running back to a dormant but extant Angry Michigan Secondary Hating God.
/Mashes "plow" button.
Anyway: I spent a large chunk of last offseason fretting about that fumble recovery rate and expecting something less than impressive as a result, and that was kind of borne out. Michigan did take a half-step back last season, because that's the kind of thing that happens when you go from Mike Martin to one guy with the vague hope of beating a blocker one on one (Jake Ryan). Michigan explored the outer limits of how good a defense can be when you have almost no natural pass rush or athleticism in the secondary. Turns out the answer is "actually not that bad, at least compared to the GERG years."
I think Michigan will get back that half-step this year. There appear to be two major upgrades in the personnel turnover: Countess replaces JT Floyd and James Ross functionally replaces Kenny Demens. While I spent the duration of Demens's career talking about his surprisingly good coverage, Ross should blow by him as a player right now. Floyd spent most of his career on the edge of getting bombed; though he managed to come through repeated targetings mostly okay the fact that every offensive coordinator on the schedule decided to spin that slot machine was indicative. Meanwhile, Frank Clark and Jake Ryan post-injury should adequately replace Jake Ryan.
I'm still not seeing a great defense what with no pass rush from the interior three guys unless Jibreel Black blows up in a way that would frankly shock me. I don't see how a 280 pound three-tech holds up in the Big Ten, don't see much production out of SDE, and while those spots were not exactly gangbusters last year, a lack of developed talent on the defensive line remains a problem.
2014 is when this can get nasty. Michigan returns 8 starters, losing only five guys off the entire two deep: Washington, Black, Cam Gordon, Avery, Thomas Gordon. They add Jabrill Peppers, and Hoke's first recruiting class will finally be ready to infiltrate the starting lineup in earnest. A senior will have--get this--been in the same system his entire career. Craig Roh just started weeping uncontrollably and doesn't know why. He suspects why, he always does, though.
LATE BREAKING Heiko: Well, I guess I'll put in my two cents.
/Inserts dollar.
/Doesn't receive change.
/Becomes poor.
I love the defense. I get weirdly excited when Michigan's defense takes the field, because I love watching a well-executed stop take the air out of the other team. The comforting thing about the defense over the past couple years is that they always seem to get better as the game goes on. In Michigan's seven losses since 2011, how many of them can be blamed primarily on the defense (i.e. defense let the offense down)? Only one: the Outback bowl vs. South Carolina, where Michigan was playing without its top two corners and therefore got bombed by SC's receivers.
In fact I think watching the defense improve last year after losing Martin and Van Bergen was something I clung to after it became apparent that the offense was in for a season-long struggle against good teams.
Are we ready to expand the Heininger Certainty Principle to apply to the entire defense? I think so. In contrast to last year's interior OL and tailbacks, no part of the defense has failed to improve over the course of the season. We already know about the D-line, but the linebackers and secondary each had question marks about their viability also at one point or another. Remember when "linebacker hesitancy" was a thing? Or when everyone panicked after Countess's ACL injury? I mean, here we are in 2013, and it's like we knew all along about Quinton Washington and Desmond Morgan and Raymon Taylor. High five.
Maybe it's because I've been primed to consider any defensive competency the best thing ever (I came to Michigan in 2008), but I think we're already at a place where we can count on Michigan smothering most opponents. Depending on how quickly guys like Chris Wormley, Dymonte Thomas, and Jarrod Wilson get up to starter speed, it'll be a question of whether Michigan ends up in the top 10 or top 20, and I think most of us will happily take that.
Hokepoints: The Defense is Still The Wall
Stuffing. Upchurch
Eleven months ago I used this space to discuss Michigan's crazy success in defensive short situations. That was brought on by a staggering performance against Illinois, at which point Michigan had stopped 15 of 27 3rd- or 4th-and-one situations, and 13 of 19 against real competition. This was up from stopping less than a quarter of such plays the previous two years, and almost as far above the going rate for all defenses.
This was huge. Getting one yard for any offense is far easier that stopping it for any defense—one good block can usually do it. Forcing a 4th down situation from 3rd and 1 or a turnover on downs on 4th and 1 is worth half a turnover or more. Jamie Mac addressed this further in his HTTV article, showing that the stoppage situation was affecting the happy margin between our yards-ceded defense and scoring defense as much as having a ridiculous year in turnover luck.
Michigan last year was really good at stopping the short stuff, but folks chalked it up to Martin and Van Bergen playing to their strengths and figured it was a blip. Except it wasn't just those guys. Here's last year's chart for short situations, through OSU:
|Player (2011)
|Kenny Demens
|Ryan Van Bergen
|Craig Roh (right/Heiko)
|Jake Ryan
|Mike Martin
|Jordan Kovacs
|Campbell, Hawthorne & Heinigner
|Black, Morgan, and Woolfolk
|Herron and Beyer
Two thirds of Michigan's short-down production from last year returned (as did bad refs). Demens, Roh, Ryan, Kovacs, and Campbell were all key role players in that ridiculous shutdown rate, and if the UFR can be trusted, they weren't getting it just because of things the Team 132 seniors were doing.
This doesn't even count things like stopping Ohio State on 3rd and goal from the 2. Actually it doesn't count goal line situations at all, though 1st and goal from the 1 is as hard to stop as 3rd and 1 from the 40. So I revisited when updating the UFR database. Get ready to be happy (through MSU):
|--FCS and MAC removed--
|--All Opponents--
|They got it :(
|Stop %
|They got it :(
|Stop %
It's still happening. It's happening more. We replaced Martin and RVB with Washington and Campbell, and if anything got better! And like last year Michigan's short defense seems to be getting tougher as the season goes on. Since Big Ten play started, the non-stops have read thusly: Purdue converting with 16 seconds left in the half while down 18, Illinois benefiting from a terrible spot, two plays where Bell was forced to cut back into the pile and just managed to squeak through, and one bust.

Hokepoints at the Midpoint: Which Defenders are the Most Big Ten(NNN!)
Michigan's best DL, DB, LB / Upchurch
The point of our "draft-o-snark" this summer was to be cute while previewing the great players in our conference and trying to show where the Michigan Men™ fit among them. Now mid-way through the season we look back on those picks to see how smart your MGoBloggers were, and more importantly who are really the best players in the conference. Offense lives here (and comments are now turned on—oops about that). Googledoc spreadsheet of the draft is here. Part II is here:
Defensive Line:
Tackles (Bolding my selections for All-B1G)
|Kawann Short
|Johnathan Hankins
|Jordan Hill
|Akeem Spence
|Beau Allen
|Baker Steinkuhler
|William Campbell
|Ondre Pipkins
|John Simon
|Michael Buchanan
|William Gholston
|Marcus Rush
|Craig Roh
|Cameron Meredith
|Ra'shede Hageman
|Lawrence Thomas
Who's Winning: The defensive line was weirdly easy to predict. Short and Hankins have indeed been the best two tackles in the conference, and both are still mentioned among first round NFL picks for 2013 (Hankins is considered among the best in the draft). We got a nice comparison between Short and Akeem Spence (caveat: conditions) over the last two games and got to see the difference between the two-gapping Short who needs to be planned around, and the active Spence who doesn't often blow something up alone. Beau Allen has been a problem for Wisconsin, but Heiko's guys have been playing well. Roh's contributions, as mentioned yesterday, have been the kind that don't show up in the stats. He has been Michigan's best lineman.
At rush end, Simon should have better numbers but teams are isolating him or picking on OSU's secondary before he can disrupt much; he's seen as a 3rd or 4th round pick, behind Gholston and Buchanan. Gholston hasn't been the cheap trick Brian made him out to be, as he and Marcus Rush have been about evenly productive for State, however Michael Buchanan has notably passed Gholston in stats and in the eyes of the draft gurus. From here there's kind of a precipice. Ra'shede Hageman, Brian's late sleeper pick, got some press and made some draft boards, but production-wise there were plenty better sleepers left on the board. LT2 is now a tight end; I'm not at all unhappy about this.
Guys we should have drafted: I had Indiana's 3T/5T Adam Replogle higher on my draft chart, then stupidly went for flash with Lawrence Thomas. Stupid stupid 40 tackles, 7 TFLs, 5 sacks, Indiana's entire defense stupid. Iowa's defense has been sneaky good since they entered Big Ten play, in large part thanks to the play of DE Joe Gaglione (above), a 5th year senior who had just 7 tackles before 2012; this year he has 35, among them 9 TFLs and 4 sacks. Northwestern's Tyler Scott, a 3T/5T tweener, is making an All Big Ten bid with 6 sacks (28 tackles) plus a winning smile and all the right words to make the conference elders say "what a nice young man." Scott is tied for the sack lead with Nebraska's Eric Martin, who has been somewhat less grandpa-friendly.
DL Standings: 1. (Sigh) Heiko, whom I have to give credit for getting better than expected out of all for guys, 2. Seth, 3. Brian, 4. Northwestern, 5. Indiana, 6. Nebraska, 7. Indiana State, 8. Ace
[LBs, DBs, and special teams after the jump]
2012 First Look: Defense
Van Bergen and Martin, Heininger
- NT Mike Martin. Penetrating, active nose tackle a major factor in Michigan's massive improvement in run defense; forced a pitch on a speed option; late-season run was absolute dominance; backed up by air, hope, and freshmen.
- SDE Ryan Van Bergen. Crafty veteran and iron man was less explosive than Martin but not by much; turned in huge OSU game; consistent production in UFR even if the actual numbers aren't that amazing; backed up by walk-on.
- DT Will Heininger. Walk-on evolved from liability against MAC teams to solid, maybe even better than that, Big Ten DT; made a play or two every game after the nonconference schedule; replacement will be Will Campbell and the hope he can finally play some football.
CB/S Troy Woolfolk. Bounced from CB to S throughout career; basically a NEVER FORGET poster all to himself after series of injuries robbed him of all or much of his senior year twice; marginalized by injury and burned by Posey; did not start Sugar Bowl.
[worry ceases]
- JB Fitzgerald. Touted recruit never managed to see the field except on occasional snaps spotting Demens or playing DE under GERG.
- Brandon Herron. Scored two touchdowns against WMU and was never heard from again.
- Jared Van Slyke. Saw some snaps due to injury over the course of his career.
Kovacs, Ryan, Roh
- SS Jordan Kovacs. Never going to be a great deep half guy but the best damn tiny linebacker there's ever been; great tackling in space; great angles; huge part of Michigan's lack of big plays given up; best safety since at least Marcus Ray and probably further back.
- SLB Jake Ryan. Explosive edge athlete with a burst opponents are unprepared for; did get confused sometimes as a freshman; outstanding flow; nickel DE.
- WDE Craig Roh. Solid, but did not provide the explosive edge rush Michigan was hoping for. May end up moving to SDE, but his size and body type seemingly disqualifies him from that.
- CB Blake Countess. Touted recruit stepped into the starting lineup when Woolfolk was struck down and played very well; crappy edge tackling needs work; had tough close to the season against OSU and VT.
- CB JT Floyd. Resurrected his career and even turned in a big play or three along the way; jumped a route against Illinois to salt that game away; best technique amongst cover guys; still not that fast; also crappy edge tackling.
- MLB Kenny Demens. Ate a lot of blocks after move to new system; hopefully will get more decisive in year two; highly underrated cover guy; not much of a blitzer; may seem a lot better if the NT in front of him is a space eater instead of a penetrator.
- FS Thomas Gordon. Also a big part of Michigan's excellent big play prevention; largely exempted from secondary criticism after OSU game because he was not on the field for the worst of it; sweet-ass interception against EMU; probably a better fit at SS.
WLB Desmond Morgan. Wrested the job away from a couple veterans once he got healthy, whereupon he was okay for a freshman; problems in coverage; problems with misdirection; a big chunk of Michigan's outside vulnerability; will either improve or see someone yoink his job.
[starters cease]
- Nickelback Courtney Avery. Diminutive but quality underneath cover guy; PBU and INT sealed OSU game; also a crappy edge tackler; fine option as a third corner.
- WDE Jibreel Black. Spotted Roh, could not take his job; may be a candidate to move to SDE if he can put on the weight; emergence of Frank Clark threatens to cut into playing time.
- DT Will Campbell. Alternates tossing his man into the quarterback with passive acceptance of blocks. Conditioning and effort an issue.
- WLB Brandin Hawthorne. Tiny safety-sized LB a man without a position after Michigan ditched the 3-3-5.
please don't be our DT.
Most of the DL. YAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY. The best unit on the team is strip-mined by eligibility expiration, leaving the next generation to… oh, right, the next generation doesn't exist. Fantastic.
Michigan's options at SDE are redshirt junior walk-on Nate Brink, who saw occasional snaps this year and was blown up on 80% of them, guys no one has seen or heard from like Jordan Paskorz, or true freshmen. At defensive tackle they've got two spots to fill and two guys who have seen meaningful snaps, Quinton Washington and Will Campbell. Kenny Wilkins and Richard Ash exist, Chris Rock will be coming off a redshirt, and there are some freshmen arriving. The most prominent is 330-pound tank/battleship/Hoke impersonator Ondre Pipkins.
I'll wait for you to finish retching.
All right! We retched it real good! Anyway. Massive dropoff is all but inevitable here. I'm betting Brink, Pipkins, and Campbell are your opening-day starters with Washington a guy who rotates in on the interior; Godin, Strobel, and Wormley will all play immediately due to necessity, leaping past Wilkins and Ash. Rock may also get some PT.
Nothing else. So we've got that going for us. Except…
Maybe WLB. Desmond Morgan is far from invulnerable at WLB, especially with Joe Bolden and Kaleb Ringer enrolling early. James Ross is extensively praised for his play identification ability and should be a candidate for early playing time. Teeny-tiny Antonio Poole is coming off a redshirt and is presumably less teeny-tiny.
That is a lot of guys vying for a single starting spot, many of them more athletic than Morgan at a spot that puts a premium on athleticism. Meanwhile, Kenny Demens is backed up by Mike Jones and more freshmen. Like Omameh, displacing him from the starting lineup provides an ancillary benefit by creating a quality backup where there is none already.
Sanity. O Mattison, without whom we are naught, yea, verily doth we bring these burnt offerings to your lustrous feet. May they keep your pecs jiggling as they command our forces to do something wondrous.
Experience. Michigan has it with eight starters back. For the first time since Carr's final season Michigan will go into the year running the same thing they did the year before. Run and tell that.
Depth at linebacker and quasi-linebacker. Michigan may have to pirate one of the three valid options at WDE to help out on the other side of the line but right now you can have decent confidence in any of Roh, Black, and Clark. At SLB, Ryan is a bust-out star, Brennen Beyer is coming off a freshman season with some promise and a role in short yardage, and Cam Gordon's still hanging around. In the middle, a flood of touted freshmen arrive to back up returning starters; Poole is also around.
Bending but not breaking. Kovacs and Gordon gave up vanishingly few big plays over the course of the season; both return.
The line, obviously. There's some talent there but if Michigan doesn't experience a massive backslide it's time to assume that Michigan's DL will be great as long as Hoke and Mattison and Montgomery are around.
okay, but what about, like, teams other than Western Michigan?
Getting to the quarterback. Roh did not blow up as we hoped and most of the options to replace other guys are ponderous. Campbell and Washington and Pipkins are going to be the sorts of guys who shove a couple dudes at the LOS on passing plays. Michigan got away with a lack of pass rush from the outside last year because a couple of their inside guys were great penetrators; next year Michigan needs their outside LB types (WDE and SLB) to MAKE PLAYS or opposing quarterbacks will be able to grow small businesses in the pocket.
Secondary athleticism. I love Kovacs with all of the hearts and think whatever athleticism he lacks is more than made up for by his smarts. At this point I'm not sure athleticism is even an issue. I can't remember the last time it came up in a game.
The rest of the secondary… we don't know about. Sometimes you're going to get burned over the top. When you have great recovery speed you can live. When you don't you die, which happened to Michigan time and again against Devier Posey. JT Floyd is much better but isn't likely to get a sniff from the NFL; Countess and Avery are faster but little buggers ill-suited to take on the Michael Floyds of the world. Thomas Gordon has decent to good speed; he still got burned over the top big time by Nebraska.
There are no blazers and the big guy in the secondary is almost kind of maybe outright slow. Yeah. So… could be an issue.
Can these coaches salvage the line? Tell me lies, baby.
How ready to play are some of these freshmen? If Bolden comes in and rips Morgan's job away from him that's probably good, but we're really talking about Ondre Pipkins, Chris Wormley, Tom Strobel, and Matt Godin here. Pipkins all but has to start from day one and two of the other three will be frequently-used depth guys.
Are the cornerbacks for real? They seemed fantastic over the first 11 games but the results against OSU and VT are alarming.
I'm torn. There is a case for a backslide despite returning eight starters. For one, the fumbles will not be as plentiful. For two, a lot of Michigan's weakness was covered up by Mike Martin being essentially unblockable the back half of the season and Van Bergen being so reliable. I'm worried that without those two, Michigan is going to have issues. In the best case scenario the new guys prevent OL from getting to the second level, making a lot of plays available for the linebackers that the linebackers might not make. I also don't see where the heat comes from.
But they do return eight starters and go from year one to year two in the same system. They seem pretty injury-resilient at spots that aren't Jordan Kovacs and bring in a lot of talented freshmen. They will be much older at just about every spot.
It's mandatory, though, so… yeah, they'll be worse. The lack of consistent pressure will be a year-long problem that exposes some of the issues in the secondary and the linebackers are not at the level they need to be to benefit from planetoid DL.
Sacks backslide into the bottom half of D-I after finishing 29th, total defense slides into the 30s, and the scoring defense does not repeat its top ten performance from a year ago.

Restaurateur Teaches Teens How to Give Back
Stephen Hanson, the restaurateur behind New York's Dos Caminos and Blue Water Grill, thinks the best way to turn his and other children into lifelong philanthropists is to start them young.
With a $300,000 donation to the Upper East Side's Marymount School, where his two daughters go to school, he's bringing a Canada-based philanthropy program to the U.S. to encourage high school students to learn how to effectively give back.
"I want to teach my children how to help people who aren't as fortunate as many of the kids in this city and starting at a young age is critical," says Mr. Hanson, who recently helped his children set up a hot cocoa stand at one of his restaurants to benefit Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
Students at Marymount will have the capability to change the world in the future and we have an opportunity to help shape the way they use that capability, says Mr. Hanson, a native New Yorker who grew up in Westchester and sits on the boards of NYC & Co., New York's tourism organization and Public Color, an art and education charity.
Mr. Hanson's gift will fund an endowment to create the first U.S. chapter of Youth and Philanthropy Initiative, a school-based semester-long contest that introduces ninth- and 10th-graders to social issues and how charities are addressing them.
Here's how it works: Small teams of students identify a social issue affecting New York City, such as teen homelessness or domestic violence, determining its root causes and imagining possible solutions. Students then single out and highlight the work, vision, and mission of one charity addressing that social issue. Through volunteer work, on-site visits, interviews with charity employees and people they serve, students research how the organization operates with regard to finances, ethics, and accountability. Students present a funding request to a judging panel and the kids who make the best case for why donors should support their cause receive $5,000 for the charity.
"Philanthropy is something you can't just teach, you have to show the value," Mr. Hanson says, referring to the program's emphasis on immersing students in the charities' work.
In the program's inaugural year, which ended this month, judges included First Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris and Serafin Mariel, former CEO of New York National Bank. The judges awarded the $5,000 prize to Inwood House, a teen pregnancy center, to fund a program that educates teen fathers on how to be responsible parents.
The ability to present their projects to influential members of the community and actually award a significant sum of money to a charity makes the kids feel their voices are actually heard, says Sabra McKenzie-Hamilton, a religious studies teacher at Marymount and coordinator of the program.
"They're not just talking about making a difference but actually doing so on an economic level," she says. "Of all the lessons in philanthropy, this knowledge—that any individual can have a powerful impact on the surrounding community with their time, talent, and treasure—is the most important."

"Branson is for The Show" Branson by BruceDunning
Branson Travel Guide: 149 reviews and 331 photos
This town, now over 20 years ago in the making has expanded into a place nearly a mecca for many tourists, but especially the older crowd. Buses come form all around the Midwest to bring in 50+ at a time, and by the end of the day, there may be as many as 10,000 tourists in town.
There are at least 100 different shows in the town. That means you have a choice, but so many to choose from. The good thing about these shows, is that it gave some starving and outdated entertainers another chance to entertain. There is a lot of country western themes, and yes, there is Elvis still down here showing off.
- Pros:If you want variety shows, it is here-country mostly
- Cons:Most of the strip is tacky and crowded to no end
- In a nutshell:Go there off season-the summer is packed-traffic ugh

x' is the nth root of y if x' is the largest integer such that x^n <= y. x, x' and y are all integers. Is there any efficient way to compute such nth root? I know this is usually done by nth root algorithm, but the difficulty here is everything is integer because I'm working with an embedded system.
BTW, I've even tried to binary search from 1 to y to identify largest x such that x^n <= y, but it does not work since x^n overflows easily especially when n is large.
