|Re:Edge Weight Changes: Plans and Estimates
In this memorandum, I want to discuss the changes we must make to make edge weight commands available through the MST GUI. I describe the MST tree view changes, the block view changes, the dialogs, and the interactions with the TCL files.
We want users to be able to define weights without directly editing the combine sections, and we want them to see the weights on the tree views.
Changes to the Tree View
In MST, five types of nodes can be assigned weights: Anomaly file, Closure, Octet range, Option, and Selection. The nodes other than selection nodes still implicitly provide selections from a set of alternatives:
|line 1 | line 2 | … | line n
|0x01 | 0x02 | 0x03
Internally, each node implements the AbstractWeightedNode interface, and each therefore has a method with signature
public AbstractWeight [] getWeights ()
How do we display these?
Displaying Weights
Instances of the DotFileView class are in charge of displaying the node trees. They construct a GraphViz dot file, send it to the dot process, and read the output which gives positions. The view instance then paints the node polygons and edges onto the screen using methods in the Java Graphics2D framework when Swing asks for a refresh. We need to modify it to draw text at the appropriate places. We traverse the tree by starting at the root node, and following each node with its children. For each node, we do these tasks:
- If node is a leaf node, skip it and go to the next one.
- If the node cannot accept weights, skip it and go to the next one, whether child, sibling, or parent's sibling.
- If the node has no weights assigned, skip it and go to the next one.
- The node has weighted children. Draw the node with a colored background to indicate the weighting, and display the fact in the tooltip as a reminder. The color will be white by default, but we will make this a user GUI preference. See Figure 1 Displaying a weighted node.
- If the node is explicitly a selection node and some of its visible children have weights, annotate the edges to those children. Let n be the number of its children.
- For i going from 0 to n-1,
- If child i is invisible, skip to the next child.
- Find the weight of child i.
- If the weight is null, skip to the next child.
- Find the edge form the node to child i.
- Find a suitable place near the tail of the arrow from the node to child i, and display the weight.
- If the sums of the weights exceed 1 by more than the tolerance, display the weighted node in red.[1]
- If the sums of the weight are smaller than 1 by more than the tolerance, and the node does not have the remainder property, display the weighted node in red.
- Go to the node's first child, or its next sibling, etc.
Figure 1 Displaying a weighted node
Drawing weights is not as complicated as I thought. The default dot output tells where it will show labels in an lp attribute:
|Output of dot –Tdot.
|digraph G {
a -> b
|digraph G {
node [label="\N"];
graph [bb="0,0,54,140"];
a [pos="27,114", width="0.75",
b [pos="27,26", width="0.75",
a -> b [style=bold, label=3,
pos="e,27,44 27,96 27,84
27,68 27,54", lp="30,70"];
Figure 2 Dot output with labeled edge
We will capture the label's lp attribute and print the label on the screen at the place specified by this attribute. The GraphVizFilter communicates with the dot process, and parses the output. When it reads an output line that corresponds to a graph edge, it constructs a GraphEdge object. We could determine which nodes are weighted, but since few will actually be weighted, we will find it more efficient to parse the output line not only to get the path from the pos attribute, but also to get a label from the label attribute and its position from the lp attribute. We will add label and position attributes to the GraphEdge class, and we will use them when we draw the edge. We should replace the tokenization with regular expressions.
We do need to worry about rounding. If we are not careful, we will get weights like 0.0328430. We do not want this on the screen. Percentages would be appropriate. We will make the label format a user GUI preference; we may also make positioning a user preference too.
|protected static void parseDotLine(Graph graph, String line) {
|if (…) {
|// Skipped…
|} else if (line.indexOf("->") >= 0) {
|try {
|node = Long.parseLong(next);
|next = token.nextToken();
|next = token.nextToken();
|long c_node = Long.parseLong(next);
|if (line.indexOf("pos=") >= 0) {
|getNodeEdges(graph, node, c_node,
|} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
|private static void getNodeEdges(
|Graph graph, long node_num,
|long child_num, String str) {
|Node p_node, c_node;
|GeneralPath curve = updateLine(
|p_node = (Node) m_map.get(new Long(node_num));
|c_node = (Node) m_map.get(new Long(child_num));
|GraphEdge edge = new GraphEdge(p_node,c_node,curve);
|// Code to set labels and their positions
|//should be put here.
|if (p_node != null)
|if (!p_node.addEdge(edge)) {
|//Skip error handling.
Allowing User Selections
Currently when the user left-clicks on the view, the system tries to select the node he is on. It does nothing if he selects an edge. When the user right clicks on the view, the system tries to find the node he's on. It creates a menu; the top half contains basic commands suitable anywhere on the graph, while the bottom half has commands suitable for nodes. Commands will be enabled or disabled depending on what, if anything is selected and where the mouse is.
Two alternatives for allowing a user to add or modify weight commands through the GUI are: allow the user to select an edge, and add a command menu for edges; or we can add weight-based commands to the node menus.
Edge Selection
We have rejected the idea of allowing users to select edges directly. For us to allow this, we would have to have MST try to determine whether the user was selecting a node or an edge when he clicks upon the graph. It is easy to see whether the user has selected a node; the Java Graphics2D package supports that directly. However, the package cannot directly tell whether the user has selected an edge; the appropriate method on the Line2D class always returns false. Instead, MST would need to iterate over the entire tree to find the nearest edge, and it would need to decide whether the edge was near enough.
Because this is time-consuming, we reject this idea and place the commands upon the nodes only.
Node Selection
For this alternative, we simply add weight based commands to the menus shown when a user selects a node (right clicks on a node). If a node is weighted with respect to its parent, we can activate the "add weight", "modify weight", and "remove weight" commands. If a node is a weighted node, we can add commands that weight its children.
Dialog Boxes
The dialog boxes would pre-populate selections from controller classes that know how to interpret commands from the TCL combine sections; the interactions will come later.
A dialog box for selecting a single weight might look like:
Figure 3 Weight Dialog
A dialog for weighting the children of a selection node might look like:
Figure 4 Weight Children Dialog
A dialog for weighting an optional node might look like:
Figure 5 Weight Optional Node Dialog
We will restrict these commands so the user can choose to weight a more easily managed number of alternatives. Theoretically a user can choose to put weights on the 256 individual octets of the <OCTET> production, but that is very unlikely. We will use a configurable limit to the number of children we will allow a user to weight.
Changes to the Block View
We shall need to add the right menu items to blocks. To do this, we will need to attach to the routine in the BlockView class that tells what node block a user has clicked on, selectNodeForMenu().
We will also need to display weights and the fact of weighting in our blocks. Blocks are combinations of JDK Graphics2D rectangle objects together with text. The text is derived from the node text, but it does not need to be the same. The text is also drawn as an attributed string. We can change fonts, font weights, and colors. Accordingly, we shall:
- Use a light-yellow or white fill for the block of any node with weighted children.
- Change the tooltip for a node with weighted children.
- Append the weight to the text of a weighted child of a weighted node.
- Append the weight to its tooltip.
Changes to the Stereotype Command
Currently, activating a stereotype on a type production replaces it with the types associated with that stereotype. Essentially, these two lines are equivalent given appropriate anomaly definitions:
stereotype {<month-name>}{monthName}
|replace{<month-name>} {
|<month-abbreviation-anomaly> |
For now, however, the contents of the anomalies are used, not the anomalies themselves. We want to change this so the substitution only happens part of the time
stereotype {<month-name>}{month-name} {0.20}
The above stereotype command should be equivalent to:
|replace{<month-name>} {
weight {*.:monthName.0} {0.80}
weight {*.:monthName} {remainder}
To do this, we need to do four things:
Modify the stereotype TCL command
The stereotype command now can be invoked in three ways:
stereotype {path}
stereotype {path} {stereotype list}
Each corresponds to a constructor of the Stereotype class; the first turns on all stereotypes everywhere, the second turns on all stereotypes below a path, and the third turns on the stereotypes in the list below a path. To add a weight argument, we would want commands like
stereotype {weight}
stereotype {path} {weight}
stereotype {path} {stereotype list} {weight}
Unfortunately, all TCL commands send their arguments to Java as strings, and so the first two of these alternatives conflict with the last two of the original three. Fortunately, no one ever uses the bare stereotype command, and so no one will ever use the stereotype {weight} command. We will permit weighting only in a new three-argument stereotype command. The equivalent of the three commands given above will be:
|stereotype {root}
stereotype {path}
stereotype {path}
|{stereotype list}
Modify the Java Stereotype action
After we have created the new constructor of stereotype, we need to modify the code of its void replaceStereotypedNodes (MSTNode) method. This uses the NodeFactory class to construct the new selection node; we just need to have it keep the old version when requested, and to apply the weights correctly.
Change the stereotype GUI
Currently, when the user invokes the Activate Stereotype command, he first gets a confirmation dialog asking if he really wants to activate the stereotype. After he confirms, he gets the Generate Tests dialog. I propose that we change the confirmation dialog to be a more full-fledged dialog similar to Figure 3 Weight Dialog. We can have a slider and a text box, and we would have a Continue/Cancel pair of buttons. We will edit the ActivateStereotypeAction.processAction(ActionEvent) method; it currently raises a standard confirm dialog, and we will replace that.
Figure 6 Sample Activate Stereotype Dialog
Have the GUI action modify the combine section
When the user activates a stereotype, we need to modify the combine section by adding the appropriate stereotype command. We can take the code from the Generate Stereotype Test Cases action. We will want to replace old stereotype commands when the user asks for a new one at the same path. Currently, a user who selects a stereotyped node and activates its stereotype twice will end up with two stereotype commands in the combine section. This has led to baffling errors; we should help the user by deleting the old version when we create the new one.
Replacing Type Productions
Currently the MST software replaces productions with the contents of Stereotypes and anomalies. We would like to alter this functionality such that MST replaces the node with the anomaly name or names and not the contents. Some examples in the GUI are: the Replace with Anomaly command, the Insert Anomaly command, the Activate Stereotype command, and the Generate Test Group command. stereotype {weight}. A thorough code search will be necessary to ensure all occurrences of this behavior have been altered.

Not at all.
Except for Parnell, if you consider him a starter. But yeah, otherwise, we won't see any of them. Should be some interesting position battles, though.
we may see some starters.....those who may need to the work because they're at a new position, missed some work due to injury, etc. I think the OL could use the reps to further practice as a unit
Hopefully none of them.

KBR will be providing free Wi-Fi access to the public at each of the eight finish lines and press areas during the tour, which runs from 6-13 September 2015.KBR will also provide outdoor wireless networks at the Women's Tour 2015, which gets underway in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on Wednesday 17 June 2015.The firm provided the wireless network for last year's tour when it used a Motorola Solutions' Wi-Fi system. The same hardware is likely to be used for the Women's Tour this year, but the firm said it was probable that a different vendor will be used for the Men's Tour.Cisco Meraki, Ruckus and Meru have apparently all shown an interest in working with KBR, but the firm said it is still in the process of evaluating the best overall solution from both a technology and commercial point-of-view.The Gateshead-based firm, which specialises in providing wireless networks, has teamed up with event organisers SweetSpot Group, a well-known sporting event company, in a bid to get more people involved in cycling and to promote an active lifestyle.Local fans of cycling will have a chance to see some of the World's best riders in action with routes running though parts of the North East, including Blyth and Prudhoe, for the first time in Tour of Britain's history. Thanks to KBR's mobile Wi-Fi solution, spectators will have the power to connect live from the event, which is uncommon for outdoor events of its scale.Managing director of KBR, Robin Price, commented: "We are delighted to be providing our services at such a prestigious event, especially one with a North East presence. Spectators at the finish line in Blyth will be able to take photos, login to their social media accounts, connect and share live updates with their friends. Because of our ability to provide such a service, we are indirectly encouraging people to get more involved in cycling."Gareth Tomlin, technical director of KBR, added: "Providing Wi-Fi to large scale public events such as the Tour of Britain is technically very challenging but our 30 years in the technology industry has provided us with the expertise to do this."Alastair Grant, commercial director of SweetSpot, said: "The Friends Life Tour of Britain has the biggest live attendance of any sporting event in the UK. We are proud to be working in partnership with KBR to provide a way for even more people to get involved in sport, and share the feelings and news of the day with a global audience. Creating a sense of excitement and engagement around a major national event like this is extremely important and with help from KBR we can do this."Last year's Friends Tour of Britain, which KBR also provided Wi-Fi for, saw cycling champions Sir Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Marcel Kittel lead the strongest line up the race has ever see. This year will welcome the biggest names in cycling to the North East on Stages Four and Five.Wednesday 9 September will see the race head south from Edinburgh, through Northumberland to the finish in Blyth, before the racing resumes with Stage Five a day later, heading from Prudhoe to Hartside Fell in Cumbria, via Hexham and Hadrian's Wall.Photo: Tour of Britain 2014 winner Dylan Van Baarle on the Brighton podium.James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

Paris Plans to Adopt Citywide Slow Speed Zone
As Angie Schmidt reports, slow-speed zones are gaining traction in cities that want to improve pedestrian safety and enhance livability. Schmidt lists 20 miles per hour zones in New York City, similar adoptions in London with studied benefits, and now Paris for the city in its entirety (minus a few major streets). Schmidt cites Eric Britton's recent blog post as the latest high profile example on this slowing-things-down movement—what Britton calls "slowth."
Britton says that if the city adopts Mayor Madame Anne Hidalgo's plan, the new citywide slow-speed limit will be implemented on all streets except a "small number of major axes into the city and along the two banks of the Seine, where the speed limit will be 50 km/hr, and the city's hard pressed ring road (périphérique) where the top permissible speed has recently been reduced from 80 to 70 km/hr." Per Britton, in addition to the reduced citywide speed limit, there will be "'meeting zones' (zones de rencontre) spotted around the city in which pedestrians and cyclists have priority but mix with cars which are limited to a top speed of 20 km/hr."
Britton writes that Mayor Hidalgo's idea expands upon "a steady increase in the number of zones reserved for pedestrians only, and more recently a step-by-step movement to "eco-areas" (see http://www.eco-quartiers.fr) where top speeds are already limited to 30 km/hr. By 2013 some 560 kilometers of the city streets were already in such areas, about one third of the total." Britton hopes to see significant results from the reduced speed limit, such as "substantially fewer accidents, significant reduction in serious injuries and deaths…reduced carbon stress on climate, and the long list goes on."

The Byron menu is made up of juicy hamburgers, served the way they should be. Properly sourced, British beef is ground fresh into 6oz patties, cooked medium (or however you fancy) so they're pink and juicy, and served in a squishy bun with a pickle on the side. Favourites include the double bacon with cheese, or the signature Byron.
Byron also offers a 'Mini Byron' kids menu, plus vegetarian options and fresh, vibrant salads. Round things off properly with fries, sides, thick-churned milkshakes, specially-selected craft beers and homemade desserts.
A much-loved, family-friendly hamburger joint, find Byron Cheapside just 3 minutes' walk from St Paul's Tube Station.

Best Christmas Ever. #fostertoadopt #siblingsneedtosticktogether #olderchildadoptionisthebest #ourfamilyiscomplete #fostercarePosted by Sarah R Perks on Thursday, December 25, 2014
Oregon parents Sarah and Michael Perks captured one of the most wonderful moments possible—their foster children reading the adoption papers that officially made them a part of the family.
The Perks had created a home for siblings Corbin, 13, Kierra, 8, and Damien, 4, and wanted to adopt all three children to keep the family intact. The heartwarming video shows the children unwrapping the finalized adoption papers on Christmas, and one of the Perks' biological children exclaiming, "You're one of us now!"
Michael Perks told People that, "We thought it would be a good idea to put their adoption papers under the tree. We thought it would be a great surprise. It would be the best present that we could give them."
Although the video is from last Christmas, it recently went viral to the surprise of the Perks. Michael says that the family is closer than ever: "My daughters are inseparable. Corbin and my biological son are the best of friends."

Inheritance of a New Dwarfing Gene in Oat

L ab. of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Osaka Prefecture Univ, Sakai, Osaka, 593, Japan
One important goal in oat (Avena sativa L.) breeding is the development of shorter cultivars with increased resistance to lodging. Although seven dwarfing genes have been identified in oat, only two genes, Dw6 and Dw7, are still readily available in breeding programs. New sources of dwarfing genes were recently identified in Japan from accessions of A. fatua L. and introgressed into the cultivar 'Kanota'. The objectives of this study were to examine seven of these new sources with apparent dominant genes for dwarfness in oat and to determine their usefulness in oat breeding. Allelism tests using analysis of F2 populations demonstrated that a new dominant dwarfing gene is present in the Japanese lines and that it is independent of the Dw6 and Dw7 loci. The symbol Dw8 has been assigned to the dwarfing gene found in the Japanese lines. F2 populations derived from 17 crosses made among the seven Japanese lines did not segregate for height, indicating that the same dwarfing gene or closely linked genes were present in these lines. Based on the numbers of progenies analyzed from these crosses, we concluded that if there are distinct linked dominant dwarfing genes among the Japanese lines, there would be no more than 20% recombination among them. F2 progenies from four Dw8 lines crossed with tall elite lines all segregated in a 3 dwarf: 1 tall ratio. The Dw8 gene, combined with other height modifier genes, may provide new opportunities for breeding for reduced plant height and improved lodging resistance in oat.

She's got some serious rock cred (she's jammed alongside The Killers) with equal pop sensibility (she recently shared a duet with American Idol alum Elliot Yamin), and a style to match both.
The ambitious musician just turned 26 this week, and we have some exclusive footage of her belting out some tunes during a recent live performance. Check it out below, and for more info on her, check out Leah's MySpace page.

Hi I am new here I have been reading all the post I can. It seem that a lot of them are over a year old and I am looking to see something a little more current. I have had my band for 8 1/2 years lost 100 lbs, I had my Band removed in the beginning of June. I was having problems with it since December.Well I had some fluid taken out due to acid/night coughing/tired of throwing up.....well I kept going for fills and still wasn't feeling it, I new something was wrong needless to say finally June I went and did the X-ray and fur sure there was a problem and I needed surgery that day and had it removed. We'll hate to say since December I have gained at least half of what I lost:( so as of now the end of this month I am going and doing the dietician and sycologist thing again. And we are hopefully looking at September to have the sleeve.i have to wait the 3 months for my tummy to heal from the removal.Has anyone had a similar experience with no regrets;)
Band to Sleeve??? - Ridgewood, NJ
Hi I am new here I have been reading all the post...
Approved..My date is 9/19
Well I got the call today I was approved my surgery is scheduled for September 19th.....now let the count down begin.
Tomorrow is the day!!
Starting to feel a little anxious having a lot of butterflies in the stomach. I have to get out of the house and pick up last minute stuff hopefully get my mind off of it for awhile. I have to be at the hospital by 6. Just can't wait for tomorrow to be over with.
3 days post
Well I am 3 days out. The day of the surgery went fine I was up and walking in no time. I didn't have that horrible gas pain. I felt it a little but not bad at all. I got released from the hospital the following evening. But now I have diarrhea every time I eat . I am hoping it will pass. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Otherwise I feel good.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Friday, May 05,2006 6:39 AM
Toshiba Consumer Marketing Corporation, Japan, manufacturer of complete range of Toshiba Brand Home Appliances and the group company of $59 billion Toshiba Corporation Japan, have announced their entry into the highly competitive Indian home appliances market.
The company will begin by launching its refrigerators, washing machines and microwave ovens. Toshiba's India foray is part of its global strategy to fully utilise Asian production strongholds and to expand its overseas marketing network. Plans are on the anvil to launch vacuum cleaners, rice cooker and the hot pot, among others.
The complete range of home appliances will be imported to India by Toshiba India Pvt Ltd and distributed to dealers and retailers directly. Initially, the products will be sold only in Mumbai, and the sales network will gradually expand to other major Indian cities.
Speaking on the occasion, Harry Fujimaki Yoshihiro, Country Manager, Toshiba Consumer Marketing Corporation, said, "Toshiba is coming directly with a massive plan for advertisement and promotion to create a pull in the market. I am quite confident that the Indian consumer will appreciate the advanced technology and Toshiba's unbeatable quality, which will be properly explained and demonstrated to the consumer by the trained personnel at each and every retail point."
Fujimaki added, "After the economic liberalisation, India has emerged as one of the few world markets, which offer high prospects for growth and earning potential in practically all areas of business. Toshiba has always been very close to the Indian market, and has developed a better understanding of the potential of the Indian market over this period of time with many satisfied customers across the market. Previously, Toshiba has offered innovative technology products and services to infrastructure projects and industries in India. I believe this is the right time for us to enter the home appliances segment."
Toshiba will launch as many as 12 models of refrigerators, including the state-of-the-art GR-M72UTA, which has adopted Toshiba's original Hybrid Plasma Unit and Automatic Ice Maker technology. The price range varies from Rs 16,000 to Rs 61,000.
Toshiba's washing machines will comprise five models of fully automatic washing machines and two models of twin-tub washing machines, which includes the latest model AW-D950S. The prices are in the region of Rs 9,990 to Rs 34,000.

Author has written 1 story for Miracles.
ME: I am hann888. The only information I will tell about me is that I am a female, I always smile and I am in high school.
All I am going to say is check out my stuff. It may not be the greatest, but I try. Writing is one of the things I love. I have written many things, but I have never stuck with writing a specific project, because most of the time I have no tollerance to keep at something when I have so many ideas. I will try to keep continuing with these stories, and I will not have too many stories at once on FanFiction.
If you don't like what I write, don't read it! I am going to try to write a story or two on here, and I hope that people appreciate it and don't bug me about it, if disliking it is their way of life. I am really busy with high school things: homework, friends, IMPROV, sports... so my stories are in 2nd place of importance.
At the moment, my favourite authors are Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling. The Twilight Series and Harry Potter books are the some of the best books I have read so far in my life. Corney, but true. Haha :)
I am not going to write much more right now but I will soon.
So for now, TTFN.
See ya! :) '
ps. How do you like my new story, What a Life?

Here's how Devil's Food Bakery & Cookery got its Southern accent
Chicken and waffles at Devil's Food provide pure Southern comfort.
Danielle Lirette
Wonder how a nice Southern boy like Brian Crow ended up in Denver at the evil-sounding Devil's Food Bakery & Cookery? "We needed to spread our wings," explains Crow, who moved here from Asheville, North Carolina, two years ago with his fiancée, Megan. "We looked at Chicago and Portland as well, but gravitated towards Denver because it's a healthy city, it's a big sports town, and it's a food town."
See also: Behind the scenes at Devil's Food Bakery & Cookery
Reading about the Devil's Food job opening on Craigslist, Crow applied and was invited to cook a three-course meal for owner Angela Pilloud, who ultimately hired him as chef de cuisine. She tasked him with infusing "creativity and Southern comfort flair into seasonal menus" -- and as I write in this week's review of Devil's Food, he's been successful on all accounts.
As for the Devil's Food name, there's nothing evil about this place -- unless you count what the chicken and waffles, grits and cookies do to your waistline.

Estrella was awful last season as well. Wick lost to a 1-9 Santa Cruz team so I can't say they jumped off the field and distinguished themselves with any big wins.
I read the Wickenburg Sun and every week it is an excuse. Long hot bus rides. Tough opponents. Brutal schedule.
Estrella has too good of a location to be falling apart.
These are good coaching jobs with plenty of community support and consistent pipelines of talented kids available. It is sad to see two former 3A West teams fall on hard times amid coaching changes. Rich Hoyt and Norris Vaughan where are you old men when we need you?
Estrella is an interesting situation. Coach Early is a good coach. Other coaches will tell you that. But that job never opened up to the public. EFHS resides in the Buckeye Union District. When that job opened, it was in the beginning of the economic spiral downward. EFHS was most concerned about keeping teachers and weren't 100% certain if they were going to make changes or not. Coach Early had been on staff for quite some time and took over. They played a lot of underclassman and have a good nucleus of youth. But the offense they run doesn't fit the players at all. So that should change and perhaps bringing in some other coaches to allow Coach Early to be a HC and run the entire program is needed. The AD - Fahleson has been known to behave arrogantly and people have mixed emotions about him because of his personality. He runs a tight ship and is also the President on the AIA Executive Board. Given his personality and status - he may more concerned about who he can work with, more than what the community thinks.
What I will say though is Wickenburg has a district that just consistently looks lost administratively. Little stuff like poor accounting practices with Booster and AD funds that Clark almost got run four years ago for. Poor application and background procedures. And you add in the pay scale and what you have is a district in an area that is pretty expensive to live that pays next to nothing. So teachers often commute from Congress, Morristown, Whitmann or Surprise.
Foothills has other dynamics including drawing on a bunch of Rainbow Valley kids and being in the epicenter of the West Valley real estate and employment collapse.
But both have good kids and good talent. Last season, EF had far better talent than this season and was just as bad. Trejo was a stud back. Their other components were good as well including studs up front. He ran a poor system and it was poorly executed.
Coaches evaluate each other based on a lot of factors and good assistants are guys that do what they are told, understand what the HC wants to do, and work as part of a unit. A good Captain does not equate to a good General. Sometimes, a good General is a decidedly mediocre captain because he is headstrong and opinionated. That is what you look for in a head coach. Not how well they did as an assistant, but their ability to lead because ultimately, they are the CEO of the football program, not some Vice President. They deal with pissed parents, fundraising, equipment, the administration, the kids, and set the agenda. They design the schemes and tailor the program to their talent.
I believe you are right about both guys being where they are because they are well regarded as assistants and they fit the mold the school needed at the time due to budget issues, etc. The problem is that those externalities caused the schools to hire guys that as of two years in have failed to demonstrate the leadership necessary to be a head coach. Estrella has just been miserable. And if you are bad, the young talent will leave when another school is 5 miles away.
I like a lot of things about what the coaches do, but I also have a higher than normal tolerance of good people doing their best but not getting things done. I give them the benefit of the doubt. This season was so bad in Wick and last was so mediocre that both schools have to think about whether these are the guys they want leading their teams. There are so many hungry young coaches. You owe your kids doing your best to get the best coaches.

Top 10 based on what?
Metro said "based on what?" great question metro!!!
Nobody has enough information to rank coaches on anything more than W/L, maybe some longevity, and maybe consistency. There should be 10-20 factors that go into ranking coaches, and the most important of those factors cannot be garnered, by looking at results on a scoreboard. Some coaches have strengths and weaknesses, and the best have a 'staff" that compliment each other, where a coach may be deficient in some area, another on his staff may be strong in that area.
Coaches that have shown consistent "success" at multiple locations are doing something right. Note---my definition of "success" and most other peoples may be entirely different.
If you said name the top students in your high school, you could come up with all sorts of criteria. Well, Little Johnny in the Special Ed class studies so hard every night to get a C and works harder than the A students. If you said name the top doctors, you might say, well Dr. Johnson studied at Harvard. No, what matters is performance. There might be other factors that temper RAW WINS AND LOSSES, like say consistently overachieving at schools without talent or resources, but at the end of the day, unless the coach has the character of a turd, wins and losses are what make a coach. Not to say CHAMPIONSHIPS make a coach, but a good coach gets the most out of his kids, and that is not evaluated just based on one season. He gets kids to come out. He gets kids to work hard. He gets kids to buy in. He gets kids to listen. He gets kids to execute. He gets parents to buy in. He gets the community to buy in.
You could make the argument that the 3.75 student that plays four sports, is the class president, and volunteers at the old folks home is the top student. I could agree with that over a 4.0 kid that doesn't do the other pieces. But he is a 3.75 student, not a 3.0 student.
Gonzalo is sub .500 at Wick and Early has is sub .250.
And as to the top 10 coaches, that is not a fair question. Half of the coaches in 2A and 3A have left recently. Larson, Anderson, Hernandez, Vaughan, Hathcock, Semore, Hoyt, etc. The quality of 2A-3A coaching has significantly declined.
Answer--Moro, Morgan, Ricedorf. There is no top 10. I would put the coach at Florence among the better ones. And Young at Mingus. But it is grasping at straws.
The only coach you named that you have spent any amount of time with is Vaughn. In my opinion, you have and extremely limited knowledge of the other coaches, because you have never spent significant time on a field or in person with any of them. I understand society judges people on results, but there are some incredibly important factors, outside of W/L that help you win. let me give an example.
Take a John Bryant who has had incredible records at both Pima and Joseph City. Could he go to Rock Point or Cibicue and have anywhere near those records. I think the answer is obvious. Would it make John Bryant any less of a coach, that answer is obvious as well. That could be said about any of those coaches you mentioned. Look at Pima this year as opposed to last year--same coach, same kids what gives. They dropped a division and all of the sudden they are top 4 in the state at their level. The coach didn't all of the sudden get better, the kids didn't really change, but something did. I could go on and on about factors, but I read it all the time about this guy is great or that guy is great, all coming from people who have never spent 10 minutes on a field, court, matt, track or anywhere for that matter with the people they are praising. Extremely shallow IMO.
And I have never met Gonzalo, and I think I might know the Estrella coach a little bit. But I'm not going to say they are good or bad without a lot more information on either of them. Are they down on talent, I don't have a clue, have the admins withdrawn support for those programs, again, I don't have a clue. Finally and most importantly, are they getting the most out of the kids, and doing it with class, leading by example, and treating the kids well. I would love to have those questions answered as well as a hundred others, before I either threw them in the trash pile, or anointed them as coaching legends.
My bad, I wasn't aware. I guess that would make the question, would Jace Hancock and Pima been a top 4 team in D-V. Like I said, there are so many other variables regarding good coach, bad coach than "results" as related to a scoreboard.
I also speak to alumni and other folks extensively about their experiences.
Having a good season is great. Having consistent good to great seasons year in and year out indicates that you understand the game and the necessary pieces to keep the community together.
I have spoken with Ricedorff extensively and with Semore. I have spent time on Ricedorff's sideline and have several close friends that play for him. I have even more close friends that are part of the Blue Ridge program. These two are the best coaches in 3A right now based on a variety of factors, but both have their flaws as well.
Remember that coaches, by and large, don't stay at programs without talent. Either they are fired or they overachieve and find a better job. Small school ball means living in small towns and unless it really appeals to you and you have family ties to the area, most coaches look to move on from underachieving programs without parent support or talent.
Longevity and wins and losses play the single biggest part. You can say there are other factors and I agree, but I am not going to say "being a good guy" or being a "great mentor" is what coaching is about. I know plenty of good guys and every coach has his supporters and detractors. And you will note that you gain supporters when you win and you find the kids tune you out and stop showing up for offseason workouts when you lose.
The goal is to build men towards greatness. You cannot do that by losing consistently or by being unprepared as a coach. The best coaches are the most prepared and those that demand perfection and preparation from their players. They make their players work in the weightroom and lead by example. There are some downright bad communities with rampant alcoholism and poverty. But you will notice, most great coaches get out of these communities. And for good reason.
Longevity and performance. Getting the most out of your kids. And 2-8 is not getting the most out of your kids.
He is 1 of 5 (maybe 1 of 4) coaches to win a State Championship at Show Low.
That is an incredibly narrow mindset, especially considering the next poster noted that one of your great coaches "Ricedorf" was 3-17 at his previous coaching stint prior to Show Low. If 2-8 is not getting the most out of your kids, and your not a good coach because your 2-8--- Well then certainly 3-17 is just as bad! So what happened, did Ricedorf automatically become a great coach by moving about 160 miles northeast, or are the other factors I speak of a lot more important to W/L than we want to admit. As I said earlier, many of these answers are obvious. Also, a couple of games on the sidelines as a chain gang member, or talking with former players, is nowhere near enough information to either call someone a great coach or likewise a poor coach. I just completely disagree with people judging a coach from a distance, never having spent any time with them, in practice every day, outside of the sport they coach, during high stress games, and on down the line. For me those opinions are based on a very limited set of criteria.
I've spent plenty of time around head coaches and assistant coaches every week for years and years. Sorry, I don't have anywhere near enough information to pass judgement on most of those men . I've also spent plenty of time coaching, I've coached teams that have not lost a game, and teams that have not won a game, and many teams in between. There is so, so much more to it than a scoreboard!!
I do agree though, just because somebody is a great guy and treats the kids well, does not automatically qualify him as a great coach--kind of like W/L doesn't qualify you either.
Ricedorff was at an inner city school and I would not argue that he was a great coach while at Trevor for a number of reasons. He has won two titles and played for a third in five years at Show Low and his teams are consistently well coached and prepared. They show up and compete and his staff makes solid adjustments. He is the only current coach in 3A to beat Paul Moro.
Now, the argument again goes--was he a great coach at Trevor? Who knows, but he was smart enough to know that within his profession, Trevor was a bad place for his career so he chose to be upwardly mobile.
Now, take Wickenburg and Estrella. These were teams that were both 9-0 when they played for the region championship just two years ago. Wick had a span where they went 47-5. Suddenly, the talent is gone from both places? Suddenly, the demographics change? Suddenly, these schools are Trevor Browne?
You expect a coach at Trevor Browne to struggle to be .500 because it is an inner city school. And Ricedorff is one of 3 coaches to win a title at Show Low, and he has won two. The other two coaches are Jeremy Hathcock who had Desert Ridge in the finals last season and Bill Morgan who won a couple more at Valley Christian. Are you making the argument that any yahoo can show up at Show Low and win a title because two other guys did? Reality is that Show Low is a good job, but because of that, they can be picky about who they hire.
So why don't you name names of who is a great coach in Div IV? Bob David and River Valley's coach Bower (I believe) are mediocre. Early is mediocre at best. Parker's coach is having a decent year, but this is in part because of playing along the River. Seton's coaching staff was .500 in 4A-II and are brand new. Young has had Mingus in multiple title games and made multiple playoff appearances. Winslow has a new staff with little track record. Holbrook, Achesay, the Rez schools all have had significant coaching turnover. Payson's coach is in his second year. Are you going to tell me that Fairfield at Fountain is a great coach? Round Valley has a brand new coach and they are D-V now. Maybe you could say Buckeye has a great coach, but his teams have not done a lot.
Asked to rank them top to bottom in D-IV:
1. Moro
2. Ricedorff
3. Young
4. Perhaps Empire or Florence's coaches
Everyone else is too new to have a track record.
Wins and Losses is the factor you judge a coach on primarily plain and simple. I see up close the way coaches run their staff and how they adjust during games working the chains. I see their organization and how the assistants operate. I see organizational factors and how they deal with the kids. I see in game adjustments and I see how teams gameplan.
Football is a chess match. A great coach has great assistants because he trains them and prepares them and they have dedicated jobs and operate as a team as well. They communicate effectively. They have a plan. Every single thing you do translates onto the field and the way I judge a coach is primarily how he does against like talented teams. When you face a team that has roughly the same talent as you do, how do you perform. That is raw coaching skill. That is the chess match. Bad coaches tend to lose close games. I think Fairfield is a perfect example of that. He tends to pucker up with a lead and go into his two TE with a Wing formation and try to grind. That is why his teams consistently get beat by equal and even lesser talented teams.
So go through and start naming names of better coaches in D-IV. Maybe I am missing someone. The four or five I listed are the cream of the crop. Everything after that are guys that might figure it out or build a track record or do something later on, but as of right now, they have not distinguished themselves.
I love your passion for the game, and I love your passion for your former school, but sometimes as you well know you generalize too much, and some of your posts are one big contradiction.
For example, you have consistently said W/L are the primary factor you judge a coach on plain and simple. We have 1 guy who goes 3-17 at a school--by "your" primary measuring stick he must have sucked. Yet in one fell swoop and 160 miles, all the sudden the guy becomes a great coach. That just makes no sense at all. I'm sure he was the same coach at Trevor that he is at Show Low--and the W/L are completely opposite. That is why judging somebody on W/L is incredibly shallow. And believe me, I know, the vast majority of folks never get past the W/L record--mind made up, written in stone--he is good or bad based on the record only--or better yet, what rests in the trophy case.
One other thing you said that concerns me, was "he was smart enough to know that within his profession, Trevor was a bad place for his career, so he chose to be upwardly mobile." Why was Trevor bad, did he not make a difference, did he not affect just as many kids, did he not get payed as well--it appears you have again assigned a trophy, a title, or a W/L record with good, and coaching at an inner city school as Bad. Sorry, I don't subscribe to that thought process, even if the rest of society does.
"so why don't you name names"
As I said earlier, I don't have enough information on most of them to form a solid opinion. I've been around Moro, Ricedorf, Young, Tenney, Little, London, Semore. But mostly on game nights, never at practice, or much outside of the game except for Little. Bell, at RV, I know extremely well, and I think he is great for those kids. Had an incredibly tough year (between injuries, and other catastrophes) but he is still 1 of 8 left, and with their talent level this year, that is tremendous.
Moro has a great staff--especially London as I think he is key. I liked Young and his Staff from Mingus but that was just 1 game. Tenney is quality both as a coach and human being, one of the best people I know. BJ Little, very smart coach and always classy, I've known him for a long time, competed against him, and worked with him-he is good for the kids in Winslow. Semore, definitely got the most out of his Talent. Ricedorf, I wasn't fond initially, but I've listened to him on Radio a number of times this year, and I like what I hear. I think he has done a great job in Show Low, and I suspect he did the best with what he had at Trevor as well.
Personally though, I only know one head Coach well enough to develop a pretty solid opinion and I'll refrain. The rest, I would need a whole lot more time on and off the field, to develop what I would consider to be an educated, fair assessment. Even then, Who says my opinion holds any water at all. Remember, I was the guy who coached a winless team a couple a year back, so what do I know.
Finally You said "What does qualify you?"
You answered that a number of posts ago. Dealing with kids fairly, being honest, teaching the game, being an example both on and off the field. Also I think it is important that you coach for the kids, and not for yourself, and finally getting the most out of the available talent. That might be 0-10, or it could be 10-0.
His record at Mogollon speaks for itself and he is doing a great job so far at Snowflake.
He is a man of integrity and I personally know that kids who have played for him have a ton of respect for him as a man and as a coach.
In 2006 we played at Trevor Browne and he only had 17 players suited up. We showed up with 40 because we brought up the whole JV team because we were down to 10 or so on the Varsity team. Trevor beat us 55-0. At half time with the score at 35-0, Coach Ricedorf told us that he could not put in any back ups in the second half because there weren't any.

Not even the scandalous American divorcee Wallis Simpson and her give-it-all-up king, Edward VIII, can trump the enduring media fascination with Madonna: She was mobbed at the Venice Film Festival when it opened Wednesday, even though her movie, W.E., is not in the competition and was greeted with little enthusiasm by early critics.
No matter. Reporters battled to get into Madge's post-screening media event anyway. Varietydescribed the assembled horde as "storming" one of the "most-packed press conferences in recent years," where the pop star-turned-movie-director arrived to whoops and a standing ovation in one part of the hall. At one point, the press minders threatened to cancel the event unless people stopped taking pictures of Madonna.
Her movie, only her second directorial effort, is a drama that juxtaposes the story of Simpson and the British king who abdicated his throne in 1936 to marry her, with the life of a modern-day New Yorker named Wallis who is obsessed with her namesake. The press, however, was not impressed, giving the film only "tepid" applause at the screening, according to MonstersandCritics.com.
Madonna, 53, had plenty to say (including a few words in Italian, the language of her ancestors) about why she was attracted to the Wallis and Edward story, which she researched for seven years and co-wrote over three years.
"I was deeply and utterly swept up by the reasons why Edward VIII would give up the throne, relinquish his great position of power, for love," she said, although, strictly speaking, British kings and queens no longer have any power. But never mind: She said she wanted to make the point that "no matter how beautiful and glamorous your surroundings, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed happiness."
And she would know.
W.E., which stars Abbie Cornish and James Fox, will also be screened at the Toronto Film Festival next week, and is set to open in theaters in December.

The Dome of Truth is a building in Amador, capital of Amadicia.
Seat of PowerEdit
Located within the Fortress of the Light, the Dome of Truth is a great audience hall for the Children of the Light[1] in which the Council of the Anointed meets. The Lord Captain Commander presides over the Council while they make policies that effect the entire organization.[2] Although Amadicia has a king, the Children rule the country in all but name; from the Dome of Truth the political strings are pulled.
In the Dome of Truth, arrested Darkfriends stand trial.[3]
Also, a fresco in an alcove on the Dome of Truth depicts the hanging of the corpse of Amyrlin Serenia Latar.[4]
The building, pure white outside, is a hundred paces wide and rises fifty paces at its peak. The inside of the gilded dome is lit by a thousand hanging lamps. Its vast chamber contains a ring of thick white columns, behind which stand a row of smaller columns, all plain but polished to a high shine. In the center of the white marble floor is a simple white marble dais from which the speaker addresses the assembly. Beyond the columns, tall alcoves show triumphant scenes the Childrens' victories, a thousand years in the form of frescoes.[4]

The Power of an Educated PeopleMay 31, 2016
[EAJN] An Educated People Can Save the Nation of Ethiopia
I read an article this morning that really shook the journalist inside of me. I often wonder and shake my head at the short sighted decisions put forth by rulers these days. The article found HERE talks about a group of activists that tried in vain to postpone the national Ethiopian college entrance exam.
You see, According to Jawar Mohammed, an ardent Oromo activist and Director of the Oromo Media Network (OMN), the decision to sabotage the national University entrance exam was taken after the government deliberately ignored the repeated call for the postponement of the exam so that Oromo students would have enough time to study. Their high schools were closed for more than six months because of a widespread series of protests that engulfed their region last year.
To the casual reader it may not seem very important to stop the tests, after all it is just a test, right? Let us take a deeper look at the long term effects if the students were forced to take the exam so soon.
The first benefit to the Ethiopian Government, although it may seem irrelevant in the scheme of things, is that more students taking the exam shows the international audience that Ethiopia is becoming more educated and the government is doing such an amazing job uplifting its people, etc. International aid organizations and other governments love to read such facts and often are negligent in looking past the headlines into the facts and real numbers.
A far more horrific fact is that if fewer Oromo students succeed at the test and go to University, becoming educated people and better able to decide their future, the better for the ruling ethnic minority.
Face it, the current regime in Ethiopia rules the country like a dictatorship. They miraculously achieved the impossible by capturing virtually every seat in parliamentary elections even though they are very much a minority faction. It was so bad that Human Rights Watch had condemned the election as "multi-party theatre staged by a single party state".
I am reminded of the past in South Africa when a certain minority ruled…
The ruling party is very much in the minority when considered there are over 5 times as many Oromo citizens in the country as the ruling faction. So the benefit for keeping more Oromo students from becoming educated, rational and logical members of society is obvious. Keeping the majority uneducated, poor, and unable to guide their own destiny allows despots to rule.
Governing one's people is not about ruling. Governing one's people is about guiding everyone to a greater future. Only as a chorus of many voices with many experiences can Ethiopia join the world and enjoy the prosperity they have been deprived of for so long. To rule is to be short sided and make stupid decisions.
Ruling by Fear creates enemies and more fear. Governing an educated people with hope and the drive to improve the well being of everyone – Now That is the way out of darkness and into a real democracy. The benefits are staggering and start with a better life for all.

Lebanon elect Aoun president, ending 29-month void
BEIRUT—Lebanon's parliament on Monday elected Michel Aoun, an 81-year-old former army commander and strong ally of the militant group Hezbollah, as the country's president, ending a more than two-year vacuum in the top post and a political crisis that brought state institutions perilously close to collapse.
Aoun secured a simple majority of votes in the house after a chaotic session that saw several rounds of voting because extra ballots appeared in the ballot box each time. He garnered 83 votes out of 127 lawmakers present at the session.
He also failed to get elected by a two-thirds majority in the first round, as had been widely expected.
Members of parliament broke out in thunderous applause after Aoun finally was declared president by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. His supporters across the country erupted in cheers as they watched the proceedings on huge screens set up in the streets. Brief celebratory gunfire could also be heard in the capital, reports Arab News.
Aoun's election is seen by many as a clear victory for the pro-Iranian axis in the Middle East, giving a boost to Hezbollah and the Shiite Lebanese group's ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Aoun has a wide support base, mostly among Lebanon's educated youth, but is a divisive figure in Lebanon for his role in the 1975-90 civil war. Still, there is cautious hope that his election would breathe some life into state institutions that have been paralyzed for too long. Lebanon has been without a head of state for 29 months after President Michel Suleiman stepped down at the end of his term in May 2014. Since then, 45 sessions to elect a new leader have failed due to political infighting that led to of a lack of quorum as Aoun's block and allied Hezbollah lawmakers boycotted the sessions because his election was not guaranteed.

It's just an average day for Mario when Mario is critically wounded in an assault and finds himself the prisoner of an gang of Yoshis group known as the Ten Yoshis. An electromagnet has been embedded in his chest by fellow captive to keep shrapnel from killing him. The Ten Rings leader, Count Bleck, offers Mario his freedom in exchange for building a Jericho missile for the group. The other captive later confirms Mario's suspicion that Bleck will not keep his word.
During his three months of captivity, Mario and the other captive, named Yinsen secretly build a suit of armor powered by a miniature arc reactor, which Mario builds to power his electromagnet. The terrorists give Mario 24 hours to finish, but expires before the suit is fully activated. Yinsen distracts the guards while Mario powers up the suit. The now-armored Mario battles his way out of the caves and finds the dying Yinsen, who tells him not to waste his life. Mario burns the terrorists' munitions and flies away, only to crash in the desert; Mario survives, but the prototype suit is destroyed. He is rescued by his brother Luigi.
Mario, impressed by his suit's performance, builds an improved version of his suit as well as a more powerful arc reactor for his chest. Later, during Mario's first public appearance after his return, reporter Princess Peach informs him that Stark Industries weapons, including the "Jericho", were recently delivered to the Ten Rings and are being used to attack Yinsen's home village. He also learns that Bowser has a new plan to take over Mushroom Kingdom. Enraged, Mario dons his new armor and flies to Afghanistan, where he dispatches the Ten Rings. While flying home, Mario is shot at by two F-22 Raptor fighter jets. He tells Luigi his secret identity in an attempt to get the attack called off, but flies off on his own.
Mario sends his assistant Daisy to hack into the company computer system. She discovers Bowser has been supplying terrorists with weaponry and hired the Ten Rings to kill Mario, but the group reneged on the deal upon discovering who the target was. Daisy later meets with agent of the "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division", a counter-terrorism agency, to inform him of Bowser's activities.Bowser visits the Ten Rings and, after obtaining the pieces of the destroyed prototype suit, has the group eliminated. He then reverse engineers his own suit from Mario's first; however, his scientists cannot duplicate Mario's arc reactor. Undeterred, Bowser ambushes Mario in his house, uses a sonic device to paralyze him and removes Stark's arc reactor. However, Mario manages to reinstall his original reactor. Meanwhile, Peach and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attempt to arrest Bowser, but are attacked by him in his now functional suit, dubbed "Iron Bowser".
Mario races to the rescue and fights Bowser, but is quickly overpowered. He lures Bowser atop Peach's castle and instructs Daisy to overload the full-sized arc reactor in the building. This unleashes a massive electrical surge that knocks Bowser unconscious and falls to his apparent death in the reactor. The next day, the press has dubbed Mario in his armor as "Iron Mario". Since it was Mario fighting with Boser, Agent Coulson gives him a cover story. At a press conference, Mario starts to tell the cover story given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D., but then announces that he is Iron Mario.
The plot is the plot for Iron Man but with Mario characters and some modifications.
