NBA PM: Scout's Take on Utah Jazz
Posted By Alex Raskin On January 25, 2012 @ 5:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
You don't have to look at the NBA standings to know that this season hasn't gone according to script.
In the Atlantic Division, the Philadelphia 76ers have a 4.5-game lead and a five game lead over the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks respectively; the Atlanta Hawks have continued winning without the presence of Al Horford; and Washington Wizards have completely failed to capitalize on any of their young talent.
If there's one thing that we've learned from the first quarter of the NBA's regular season is that depth is king when a 66-game marathon is condensed into four months. The 12-5 76ers know this, the 14-3 Oklahoma City Thunder know this, and apparently the Utah Jazz know this as well.
"Their depth is good," one Western Conference scout told HOOPSWORLD of the Jazz. "They basically have four players for two post positions; and for me, that's big in this schedule. If you don't have any depth, you have no chance this year."
Center Al Jefferson and power forward Paul Millsap were easily identifiable NBA players before this year, but the pair has been soaring to new heights under head coach Tyrone Corbin.
"Their strength is Jefferson inside," the scout said. "He's a hard guy to guard by yourself."
Jefferson, who primarily stays on the left block, has pushed his Player Efficiency Rating around his career high (23.16 in 2008-2009 and 21.98 this year) by reducing his turnovers (he's turning the ball over in just 5.8 percent of his possessions) and keeping his free throw percentage over 74 percent. His field goal percentage has slipped to 47.4 percent, but that hasn't hurt the 10-5 Jazz too badly.
Millsap, on the other hand, has been flat-out lethal.
The 6-8 Louisiana native ranks fourth in the NBA in PER (26.74) largely because he's improved his true shooting percentage (58.5 percent this year) and rebounding rate (16.6 percent this year), while cutting his turnover rate (percentage of possessions that end in a turnover) from 9.9 percent last season to just 6.9 percent this year.
And, because his usage rate (percentage of possession a player uses per 40 minutes) has steadily increased over the past few seasons, Millsap is now a threat to score 20 points on any given night (16.6 PPG this year).
"I like what they're doing with Jefferson on the left block and Millsap on the right or playing further out," the scout said. "I think Millsap is a good compliment for any player and any team. Every coach would want Paul Millsap."
But the beauty of the Jazz's depth has actually allowed Corbin to slightly reduce the pair's minutes this season. Millsap is down to 30.1 MPG while Jefferson is only logging 33.2 MPG, which is about two minutes less per game this season for both players.
Second-year power forward Derrick Favors and rookie center Enes Kanter have been able to siphon 20.3 and 13.9 MPG respectively, and they've done so without costing the Jazz.
"They ended up trading (Mehmet) Okur because the amount of depth that they had," the scout said. "They needed to give Favors more playing time. I think he's very good, and I like Kanter off the bench—a big, wide-bodied guy."
Favors still turns the ball over far too much (he's coughing it up in 18.3 percent of his possessions—only 23 qualifying players have done a worse job with the basketball than he has) but he's athletic enough to compensate for a lot of his shortcomings. And besides, he's only 20, so he'll be able to correct those deficiencies the more and more he plays.
In the meantime, his strength and jumping ability has helped him to grab 17 percent of all missed shots while he's on the floor (tied for 30th in the NBA), and he's blocking over a shot per night in just 20.3 MPG.
"In the post he uses his strength more than his skills," the scout said. "He's working on his skills, that's still evolving."
Kanter, meanwhile, isn't playing as much, but he has made his minutes count. The Switzerland-born Turkish national ranks fourth in the NBA in rebounding rate (20.8 percent) and he's shown an ability to shoot from beyond the paint, which helps to give more room to Favors or Jefferson.
Utah's biggest offensive problems remains poor 3-point shooting (they make just 28.6 percent of their attempts and rank 28th in the league in makes per game from beyond the arc), but that could change if swingman Gordon Hayward regains his form from a season ago, when he made 35 of 74 attempts from 3-point range.
Utah's other issue is the lack of a true point guard in the starting lineup. Yes, Devin Harris' assist rate (percentage of possessions that end with an assist) is up to 30.3 percent (18th in the NBA), but some of that is the result of him playing fewer minutes (he's down to 25.4 MPG from 31.2 a season ago) and making fewer shots (he's shooting a career-low 37.1 percent from the field.
"Devin is the kind of guy that the ball has to be in his hands so much," the scout said. "If he's not scoring, he's really not enough of a playmaker. He still has to be a playmaker. Their system is a passing-type of system."
The good news is that Earl Watson is getting 21.1 MPG and he's leading the league with an assist rate of 45.9 percent, which means nearly half of his possessions are ending with an assist.
The scout said the Jazz are still running many of the same screens and have similar ball movement that they had under former coach Jerry Sloan, which as we know from years past is a good way to get everyone involved in the offense.
Utah's early schedule has been favorable (10 home games, five road games), so their solid start could be greeted with some skepticism. However, as the scout pointed out, "winning at home is a necessity this season," and this is a team that has certainly mastered that, winning eight of 10.
Love Agrees to Extension:
Kevin Love has agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves, ESPN.com's Marc Stein and Chris Broussard reported. However, the final year of that deal is a player option, so Love could hit the market earlier than expected as an unrestricted free agent—something that would certainly entice many teams around the league.
Interestingly enough, Minnesota did not make Love their "designated player" which would have given him five years. That makes it seem like they're saving that designation for rookie point guard Ricky Rubio.
Gallinari Agrees to Extension
Danilo Gallinari has agreed to a four-year, $42 million extension with the Denver Nuggets, Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick reported.
Anyone who has seen Gallinari play this season is well aware of what he has meant to the Nuggets, whose 12-5 record is the second best in the Western Conference.
Gallinari ranks 22nd in the NBA with 17.4 PPG even though he's hitting only 31.1 percent of his 3-point attempts. When his shot does return to form (he's a career 37.1 percent shooter from beyond the arc) he'll assuredly be scoring closer to 20 PPG.
Also, coach George Karl has been very complimentary about Gallinari's passing and defensive skills, both of which were largely ignored by the New York media during his time with the Knicks.
(Writer's note: We were supposed to have a scout's take on the Knicks offense today, but due to a scheduling conflict, that has been delayed indefinitely. Thanks for understanding).

Accesskey n skips to in-page navigation. Skip to the content start.
Intended audience: XHTML/HTML coders (using editors or scripting), script developers (PHP, JSP, etc.), CSS coders, schema developers (DTDs, XML Schema, RelaxNG, etc.), XSLT developers, Web project managers, and anyone who needs guidance on how to construct language tags.
Updated 2011-02-22 20:40
Which language tag is right for me? How do I choose language and other subtags?
In HTML and XML documents a language tag is used to indicate the language of content.
A language tag is composed of one or more subtags separated by hyphens. Subtags can be of various types.
BCP stands for 'Best Current Practice', and is a persistent name for a series of RFCs whose numbers change as they are updated. The latest RFC describing language tag syntax is RFC 5646, Tags for the Identification of Languages, and it obsoletes the older RFCs 4646 3066 and 1766.
Language tag syntax is defined by the IETF's BCP 47. In the past it was necessary to consult lists of codes in various ISO standards to find the right subtags, but now you only need to look in the IANA Language Subtag Registry. We will describe the new registry below.
This article provides advice on how to choose the components of a language tag. For an overview of the concepts defined in BCP 47, see Language tags in HTML and XML.
Addison Phillips and Mark Davis, authors of BCP 47, provided guidance during the writing of this article.
All the subtags you will need to create a language tag are found in one place, the IANA Language Subtag Registry. The registry is a long text file, containing nearly 8,000 entries.
The notes on this page provide guidance that is sufficient for most people wanting to use language tags. There are links to relevant sections of BCP 47 in this margin for people who want to read the full text of the specification.
Note, also, that some environments or systems may dictate choices that are different from what you would otherwise expect. For example, in Java you must use "iw" (deprecated in BCP47) in place of "he" (recommended in BCP47).
The first (and often only) subtag in a language tag always designates a language. It is referred to in BCP 47 as the primary language subtag. We will use that term in this document to refer to the subtag that represents a language, to more clearly make the distinction from 'language tag', which refers to the whole thing.
To find a primary-language subtag, search the page for the name of that language. For example, if you want to label something as French, searching for 'French' in the registry will bring you to a record that looks like this:
%% Type: language Subtag: fr Description: French Added: 2005-10-16 Suppress-Script: Latn %%
Your search will have matched against the Description field. Check that the type of this record is language. What you are looking for is the value in the Subtag field, ie. fr.
The rest of this article will provide advice for choosing primary language subtags and, where needed, other types of subtag. Note that not all the decisions about how to create a language tag are straightforward. There are circumstances where usage will dictate which of various possibilities you should follow.
There are tools available which provide additional help while searching the registry, such as Richard Ishida's Language Subtag Lookup tool.
Think about letter-case. By convention, primary language subtags are lowercase, script subtags begin with an uppercase letter, and continue with lowercase, and region subtags are uppercase. This is only a convention, however, and you are free to use whatever letter-casing you like.
On the other hand, you may be using language tags in a context where letter-case is important, such as file names on some systems. In such cases, you should ensure that you follow a consistent policy for letter-case; for any new system that is not case-insensitive, it is recommended that you follow the BCP 47 conventions.
You always start by choosing a primary language subtag, and often this is all you'll need for your language tag.
Always bear in mind that the golden rule is to keep your language tag as short as possible. Only add further subtags to your language tag if they are needed to distinguish the language from something else in the context where your content is used.
When looking for a primary language subtag, there are a number of things to bear in mind.
You could look up language information in the SIL Ethnologue and cross-reference that information with Wikipedia. The Ethnologue uses the same three-letter codes as BCP47, but you'll need to convert BCP47 2-letter codes to their ISO 639-3 counterpart to look up a language by code. (Richard Ishida's tool does this for you.)
There are a small number of cases where different language codes are available for what many people would regard as the same language, eg. Filipino and Tagalog, or Twi and Akan. There is no indication in the registry as to which you should use, but you should try to ensure that within a single application or context you are consistent.
You should look for a more specific subtag for the language you are interested in. Unfortunately, the subtag registry doesn't provide any pointers for this.
You can use these subtags if there is no more specific subtag available, and it is always preferable to use one of these rather than the subtags MUL (multiple languages) or UND (undefined).
For example, ku (Kurdish) is a macrolanguage that encompasses ckb (Central Kurdish), kmr (Northern Kurdish), and sdh (Southern Kurdish).
You can find the more specific (ie. the encompassed) subtags by searching the registry for Macrolanguage: <subtag_name>. Alternatively, Richard Ishida's lookup tool will automatically list these for a given macrolanguage (example).
As we recommended for the collection subtags mentioned above, in most cases you should try to use the more specific subtags, but there are a small number of important exceptions. These are situations where you should continue using a macrolanguage subtag for reasons of backward compatibility.
For example, although BCP 47 explains that zh (the macrolanguage subtag for Chinese) doesn't actually specify which of the many, sometimes mutually unintelligible, dialects of Chinese is actually meant by this subtag, in practice convention overwhelmingly associates the macrolanguage subtag with the predominant language among the encompassed subtags - in this case, cmn (Mandarin Chinese). If your application identified Mandarin Chinese in the past using the language tag zh-CN (Chinese as used in Mainland China), or even just zh, you can continue to use zh in this way. Using cmn or cmn-CN may cause serious compatibility problems if the software or users expect a tag such as zh.
If, on the other hand, you are using zh to refer to another Chinese dialect such as Hakka, you should use the language subtag hak instead.
Deprecated: 1989-01-01 Preferred-Value: he
This indicates that you should use the subtag he for Hebrew instead.
In the past, when dealing with lists of ISO codes, there were sometimes multiple codes for a given language - there could be a 2-letter code and one or two 3-letter codes. This ambiguity is resolved by the IANA Subtag Registry: only one code is listed per language. (If an ISO 2-letter code exists, that will be the code, otherwise it will be a three-letter code.) The registry maintainer also coordinates the ongoing evolution of the registry with developments in the ISO world.
The BCP 47 specification allows for an additional, 3-letter subtag immediately after the initial primary language subtag. This is called an extended language subtag (abbreviated to extlang). Only a relatively small number of extended language subtags are defined, and they each need to be used with a specific primary language subtag (given in the Prefix field of the entry for the extended language subtag in the registry).
Currently only seven primary language subtags can be used with extended language subtags. Six of those have a Scope field set to macrolanguage in the registry (ar, kok, ms, sw, uz, and zh), and the other is sgn.
Consider the following:
Where possible, use a single language subtag, rather than the language+extlang pair. There is always a 3-letter subtag that is equivalent to any language+extlang pairing, and it is always the same as the extlang subtag. For example, zh-yue (Cantonese Chinese) can also be expressed with the single subtag yue.
The only significant exception is where the language+extlang sequence is established practice for the system you are working with; that is, where zh-yue would be preferred rather than yue to maintain backwards compatibility.
Similarly, when dealing with the predominant language in the set, it is generally better for backwards compatibility if you replace the language+extlang sequence by just dropping the extlang, rather than using the extlang code as a primary language subtag. For example, reducing ms-zsm to ms (Malay macrolanguage subtag) may sometimes be better than replacing it with zsm (Standard Malay).
As an example of usage, Unicode's CLDR database uses macrolanguages zh to represent Mandarin Chinese and ku to represent Kurdish. Thus for Mandarin Chinese you would use zh, not cmn, and for Northern Kurdish you would use ku-Latn, not kmr-Latn. The CLDR database, however, does not use extended language subtags, so you would need to use yue for Cantonese, not zh-yue.
Script subtags should only be used as part of a language tag when the script adds some useful distinguishing information to the tag. Usually this is because a language is written in more than one script or because the content has been transcribed into a script that is unusual to the language (so one might tag Russian transcribed into the Latin script with a tag such as ru-Latn).
Script subtags are always 4 letters, and must come after any language or extended language subtag, but before any other subtags.
Here are things to look out for when choosing a script subtag.
The script subtag Zxxx could be used for non-written content, eg. uz-Zxxx, as Zxxx is the Code for unwritten documents, but again this is only useful if such a distinction has to be made clear.
Suppress-Script: Latn
meaning that you should not use the Latn (Latin) script subtag with this language.
This is because nearly all English documents are written in the Latin script and it adds no distinguishing information. However, if a document were written in English mixing Latin script with another script such as Braille (Brai), then it might be appropriate to indicate both scripts to aid in content selection (eg. for the application of style rules).
Note, however, that not all language subtags that are strongly associated with a given script have suppress-script fields. You should not assume that you need to use a script if a suppress-script field is absent.
Region subtags associate the language subtag you have chosen with a particular region of the world. Region subtags must come after any language or script subtags.
Like script subtags, you should only use a region subtag if it contributes information needed in a particular context to distinguish this language tag from another one; otherwise leave it out.
For example, en-GB might be a useful distinction for spell-checking, but the region subtag in ja-JP is unlikely to be useful unless you are intentionally contrasting it with Japanese spoken in other parts of the world.
There are two types of region subtag: 2-letter codes and 3-digit codes. The latter tend to identify multinational regions, rather than specific countries. For example, es-ES means Spanish as spoken in Spain, whereas es-419 means Spanish as spoken in Latin America.
Avoid deprecated subtags. Check that the subtag you intend to use isn't deprecated. In the same way as for other types of subtag, the registry will normally tell what the replacement should be via the Preferred-Value field.
In some cases there is no Preferred-Value field in a deprecated record, but sometimes the Comments field contains advice. For example, under YU (Yugoslavia) you will find:
Deprecated: 2003-07-23 Comments: see BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, or SI
Again, only use variant subtags when there is a need to distinguish this language tag from another similar one in the context in which your content is used.
Variant subtags describe additional distinctions not captured by the other subtags. Typically these are dialects, written variations (such as spelling reforms), transcriptions, and the like. A variant subtag is usually five to eight characters long and can contain letters and/or digits. A few four digit subtags (usually representing a year) are also registered. Variant subtags must come after any language, script, and region subtags.
The key thing to look out for when using variant subtags is the order in which they are used.
Check the context and ordering for variant subtags. Most variant subtag records in the registry have one or more Prefix fields. The prefixes indicate with which subtags it is usually appropriate to use this variant. For example, pinyin should generally be used in a language tag that also contains either the subtags zh and Latn or the subtags bo and Latn, since the entry for pinyin contains the following:
Prefix: zh-Latn Prefix: bo-Latn
If you have a good reason, you could use a variant subtag with different subtags, eg. cmn-Latn-pinyin would be a perfectly legal way to say Mandarin Chinese written with pinyin.
Although zh, bo and Latn are specified, this is a minimum requirement. It is also possible to include other subtags, such as a region subtag, in the language tag (where appropriate), eg. zh-Latn-TW-pinyin.
Amongst other prefix fields, the entry for variant subtag 1994 contains
Prefix: sl-rozaj-biske
which indicates that it should be used in a language tag that already contains two other variant subtags, rozaj and biske. Any variant subtag specified in a prefix field should come before the variant you have just looked up.
There are some variant subtags that have no prefix field, eg. fonipa (International Phonetic Alphabet). Such variants should appear after any other variant subtags with prefix information.
If you plan to use more than one variant without a prefix, order them in terms of decreasing significance. If they are equally significant, order them alphabetically. This will aid interoperability.
These single-character subtags allow for extensions to the language tag. To date, only one extension subtag has been registered. The subtag u was registered by the Unicode Consortium to add information about language or locale behavior. Many locale identifiers require additional "tailorings" or options for specific values within a language, culture, region, or other variation. This extension provides a mechanism for using these additional tailorings within language tags for general interchange.
For example, the following indicates that phonebook collation order should be used by an application, that sorted data in a document is sorted according to this collation, and so on.
The u- extension is defined in RFC 6067, which points to the Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) for details on the subtags that follow it. It is not defined by BCP 47.
Private-use subtags do not appear in the subtag registry, and are chosen and maintained by private agreement between the parties that use them. They are introduced by a single letter subtag, or 'singleton'. The singleton for private use is x
. Note that any subtags after the singleton can only be 8 characters in length, though you can use multiple subtags.
Private use subtags should be used with great care, and avoided whenever possible, since they interfere with the interoperability that BCP 47 exists to promote.
As an example of a private use subtag, en-US-x-twain, may identify a specific type of US English, but only within a closed community. Outside of that private agreement, its meaning cannot be relied upon.
Read more in the BCP 47 spec:
Grandfathered tags are special cases, provided for backwards compatibility. They are tags that were registered before RFC 4646 that cannot be completely composed from the subtags in the current registry, or do not fit the syntax currently defined for language tags.
Nearly all grandfathered tags have been superceded by subtags or combinations of subtags in the registry. Such grandfathered tags are now deprecated, and usually contain a Preferred-Value field that indicates how you ought to represent that language instead. For instance, the entry in the registry for the grandfathered tag art-lojban indicates that you should use the jbo language subtag instead.
Note that you should not use additional subtags with a grandfathered tag.

Living in New York City, I have suffered lately from a nature abstinence crisis and since a vacation is not an option at the moment due to a long list of work related commitments, I turned to images of places I once visited and would love to go back to. Cinque Terre, the Ligurian Riviera in Italy, has been on my "dream list" while I was a teenager and in 2007, when I finally visited the area, my heart doubled in size trying to capture as much as possible of the five villages.
If you are looking for a destination that is far from the crowds of modern-day tourism (for now, at least), where replenishing your oxygen supply involves walking among lost in time gardens and pastel houses perched on steep cliffs at the edge of beautiful sea water, then head to Cinque Terre.
Stay: Hotel Al Terra di Mare - Levanto
Eat : Miky Ristorante – Monterosso al Mare
See (top 3): Sentierro Azzurro (Blue Trail), Monarola ,Vernazza
*Unfortunately, two of the villages, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare, have been badly damaged by rain-triggered landslides in October 2011.
Until next time,

Update to Skype for Linux
An update for the proprietary Skype VoIP client resolves video image display issues among other problems.
Some Linux users saw nothing but blank screens on the first beta version of Skype for Linux, although their webcam drivers worked. In a blog entry Ryan Hunt, who is the project manager responsible for development of the Linux client, explains that Skype now has the ability to let X11 draw the window (non-accelerated X11 overlay output), although X11 video output will not let users scale the image to full-screen mode.
The X11 feature helps users on systems without Xv support. Xv is the X Window system video extension. It seems that Skype needs multiple Xv ports to display its own window and one for the other subscriber. The "xvinfo" command outputs the number of ports used on a system.
Besides video output bugfixes, Skype 2.0 also outputs more debugging information at the console. This will help more technically oriented users to troubleshoot errors, while at the same time helping Skype's vendor discover where users are experiencing difficulty.
In addition to this there have been several minor bugfixes, as listed in the release notes on the Skype website. The bugfixes mainly relate to changes to the user interface for the VoIP client.

I made this jacket a few weeks ago as a homage to the Chanel Jacket. Now I know it's much more basic than the Chanel Jacket but I was inspired by it and therefore I'm entitled to say that it is a homage.
I still can't believe it, but I drafted the pattern myself! I used my own bodice pattern and it took quite some time because I wanted to make sure I did it right.
This fabric was a NIGHTMARE, I don't think you can tell from the pictures, but it's so loosly woven I really think that the employee at the store I bought it from sat a wove the fabric from black and white string. It was silly of my not to take this into account, the only think I did to manage the stretchiness and shapless-ness of the fabric was stay stitch EVERYTHING. Oh well, I guess you learn from your mistakes, right?
Anyway, I'm really happy with this! if you want to read more about the project you can check out my blog post

PHP - Php And Curl..............
how to pass data on other domain in PHp or curl ?? and also how to get data on other domain ?? if anyone knows how to do it please attach code
Similar Tutorialsgood day dear community, i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages: i have some examples - and a question: Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so: $list[1] = "http://www.example1.com"; $list[2] = "ftp://example.com"; $list[3] = "http://www.example2.com"; After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles. $curlHandle = curl_multi_init(); for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++) $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]); Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle. ExecHandle($curlHandle); for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++) { $text[$i] = curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]); echo $text[$i]; } In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle! If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it! Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages: see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites). * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009 * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742 * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871 .... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi? <?php /************************************\ * Multi interface in PHP with curl * * Requires PHP 5.0, Apache 2.0 and * * Curl * ************************************* * Writen By Cyborg 19671897 * * Bugfixed by Jeremy Ellman * \***********************************/ $urls = array( "siteone", "sitetwo", "sitethree" ); $mh = curl_multi_init(); foreach ($urls as $i => $url) { $conn[$i]=curl_init($url); curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);//return data as string curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);//follow redirects curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,2);//maximum redirects curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,10);//timeout curl_multi_add_handle ($mh,$conn[$i]); } do { $n=curl_multi_exec($mh,$active); } while ($active); foreach ($urls as $i => $url) { $res[$i]=curl_multi_getcontent($conn[$i]); curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$conn[$i]); curl_close($conn[$i]); } curl_multi_close($mh); print_r($res); ?> I look forward to your ideas. What exactly is cURL? What are alternatives to it? I am reading some code for submitting payment info to a Payment Gateway and trying to understand how cURL plays into this?! Thanks, Debbie I am using the following code. Code: [Select] $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); I was given a .cer file should I set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to TRUE and set the path to the .cer file? Any help would be awesome. Thanks I have a large list of websites that have allowed me to submit my website and description every 24 hours to there sites. I'm really getting tired of sitting by my computer and submitting the information to every site manually. I never understood curl and php dom stuff. does anyone have a easy code where I can post a pre scripted text of my information into three boxes and it auto submits every 24 hours to the websites? The boxes look like this Code: [Select] <input maxlength="255" value="http://" name="sPlugurl" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text"> <input maxlength="30" value="Sitename" name="sPlugname" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text"> <input maxlength="255" value="Description" name="sPlugdescription" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text"> <input type="submit" value="Dump" style="background-color: #656565; font-family: Verdana; color: <? echo ;?>; font-size: 10pt; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C"> the php script would auto fill out the value of the first 3 boxes with my info and then the program would submit it to there forum. I looked on google but nothing I found I can figure out? can someone help me create a cURL for this? i think its a get method, right? Access it including the GET parameters and make sure that settings are also follows. Dispatcher URL: http://website.net/gw/dispatcher.woof GET Parameters: RRN is the random reference number SRC is the access code (i.e 2336) DST is the recipient of the message (i.e. 639209547958) MSG is the actual reply message up to 420 characters, including non printable characters. KYWRD is the primary keyword (i.e. hello) need help. thanks.. this is my current code <?php //getting the value of RRN $rrn=urlencode($_GET['rrn']); //getting the value of MSG $msg=urlencode($_GET['msg']); //getting the value of DST $dst=urlencode($_GET['dst']); //getting the value of SRC $src=urlencode($_GET['src']); //setting up the value of KYWRD $kywrd = urlencode('KEYWORD'); //assuming that the dst here is 2336 $aw = "haha"; $str= "?src=".$dst."&dst=".$src."&msg=".$aw."&rrn=".$rrn."&kywrd=".$kywrd; print $str; $ch=curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,' http://www.website.net/gw/dispatcher.woof'.$str); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?> Is this correct? Thanks I am trying to send the following curl command using PHP but I have so far been unsuccessful, any help would be appreciated :-) curl -u 1fd7b89be6f3533d7:X -H 'Content-Type:application/xml' -d '<message>Test using the API</message>' http://someurl.com The purpose of this script is to automatically send a message to a campfire chatroom for a PHPUnit script using Selenium Hello I want download a webpage with curl on my host using php. but when I use curl didn't download this page, if I change curl to file_get_contents and use it download this page. please help me to resolve my problem.

I have to create this curl.php file, inside that file I need to take the $_POST array and send it to a different php file... I'm not sure how to do this. And yes, I only need that. I'd post the source, but my company's proprietary policies prevent me. Can anyone help me with setting the content-type with CURL/PHP for file uploads? I've tried all of the common methods, and nothing seems to be working. For example Code: [Select] curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array ( "Content-Type: image/gif", )); Thanks! I have a few questions that deals with cURL. Question #1 Lets say I'm using cURL to fill out a form with multiple pages. Is cURL able to navigate through each page of the form retaining all the previous pages information until I reach the last page, then submit it all without losing any data? I'm pretty sure this is possible, I just can't seem to find any tutorials or help with it. Question #2 Lets just say I was trying to fill out a form with a CAPTCHA (which obviously I can't get past). Is there a way to display the web page with all the other information filled out, and just leave the CAPTCHA blank to be manually inputted? It would be greatly appreciated if you are able to point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance! Hi there, I wanted to create files from my phpscript. So I used the most obvious function, fopen(). It didn't work on my server and contacted the administrator, who said fopen() was disabled for security reasons, and that I should use cURL. So I did what everyone would do; I googled it. Found the php.net curl manual, but can't really comprehend what it sais. So I have a few questions: 1) Can you create .php files with cURL? 2) How? 3) How do I then write php-content in the file? Please try to explain rather detailed and simplified, I've never been good at quickly understanding all these things. Thanks a lot! Hi, I have server which is posting me these data through curl. $strPost = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"; $strPost .= "<request>"; $strPost .= "<type>login</type>"; $strPost .= "<session>21</session>"; $strPost .= "</request>"; $url = "http://www.abc.com/xyz.php"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml")); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $strPost); // add POST fields curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); $result = curl_exec($ch); if($result == true) { echo $result; } curl_close($ch); I wanna read the above xml send i.e $strPost at http://www.abc.com/xyz.php i m trying to read it with $_POST['strPost'] but shows empty. Can anyone help me. Hello, I'm new to lot of this and especially php. I'm having hard time with one of my app that I created. If you go to ticketlawyerorlando.com/sms5.html and you try to send text, (which is set to go to only one number (mine)) than I get error code from php that is supposed to curl it. Error: Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: Invalid curl configuration option in /home/content/s/j/1/sj10mil/html/ticketlawyerorlando/sms5.php on line 10 SUCCESS My Html code is : Code: [Select]
 <form action="sms5.php" method="post"> Your Phone Number: <input type="text" name="to" />

 <input type="submit" /> </form>   My sms5.php code is : Code: [Select]   <title>SMS STATUS</title>   <?php //print $to; //print $msg; $curl_handle=curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_GET,1); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,'https://api.tropo.com/1.0/sessions?to=3213314633&msg=test4&token=010fc32265db5444bbf84e92bd28f1887395ce3ade6cf69e1424d586add66b17bdc7c1d8061803f1c2319d66'); curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,5); curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,2); $response = curl_exec($curl_handle); $code = curl_getinfo($curl_handle,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); //print $code; //print $response; print "SUCCESS"; curl_close($curl_handle); ?>   In my php, the URL that's being curled, in the part where it says "test4" that should be actual message that is typed in the form but I don't know what kind of parameter to insert there in order for it to send message that's written, it always sends message "test4". Please, if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You so much again. MOD EDIT: code tags added hello i`m new here . i need someone to build a php script with CURL and  i can pay for the script PM back or email me here email@example.com how to pass data on other domain in PHp or curl ?? and also how to get data on other domain ?? if anyone knows how to do it please attach code hy all long time no see recently i did find this problem i'm trying to login to a webpage with curl ,but without success ,ofcourse the basic posting is not the problem xD but the page have a hidden field (for security) so everytime you load the page it changes so post wont work if you first use get to take the page and extract the hash from it. the page contains something like input type= hidden value=A RANDOM VALUE THAT CHANGES EVERYTIME without that value passed to post it wont login. anyone knows how can i pass it so the post will be valid? thank you I have just installed cURL and am learn to use it but I'm not sure exactly what I am doing. For example I have a page with this code on it. if($_GET['number'] == "6") { echo("
the number is six
"); } Then I am trying to use cURL to send the number 6 to this page so that it returns "the number is 6". However I am just getting an output of "1". Below is the code I am using to try to get the output of "the number is 6". $ch2 = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_URL,'http://localhost/crawler/crawlertest.php'); curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'number=6'); $return = curl_exec($ch2); echo ($return); curl_close($ch2); Thanks for any help Hi, I would just like to know what limitations apply for opening X amount of connections to different websites with Curl? (specifically, I'm using Curl multi and have my own way of regulating how many connections occur at a given time). I ask this because it seems I can open 100 connections and get the info from the websites quite quickly. If I were to open say 1000 would that crash my router or what would happen? Thanks in advance! 1. I want cURL to use cookies from my browser (i use firefox). So i have the cookies.sqlite file. I'm guessing i can't use that so i used the cookies export extension and now i've got a file like this: Code: [Select] .ea.com TRUE / FALSE 1294567511 __utmz 103303007.1278799512.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none) .ea.com TRUE / FALSE 1341871511 __utma 103303007.1717195267.1278799512.1278799512.1278799512.1 .ea.com TRUE / FALSE 1281477904 displayCountrySelector true Can the cookie file read a file like this? Or does it need a different syntax? 2. How can i make cURL read those cookies? P.S. What i want to do is access a site with cURL, but make it read cookies from a file that contains cookies exported from my browser. I'm trying to submit to my site using this script that I made: <?php session_start(); $title = "<title>CS</title>"; $url = "http://cheatskape.com/wtag/sendchat.php"; $token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); $_SESSION['token'] = $token; $ch = curl_init(); //Initalize a new cURL session $name = "PROBLEM"; $msg = "LOL"; $postfields = "token=".$token."&name=".$name."&url=&message=".$msg.""; echo $title; //set the title of the window curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); //set the type, curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); //and what fields to use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);//Set the URL to use curl_exec($ch); //execute it echo "

"; print_r(curl_getinfo($ch)); //Print info of the cURL execution curl_close($ch); //Close our current cURL session ?> However, it refuses to post.. What am I doing wrong? This is my first time using cURL the curl info shows me this: Quote Array ( [url] => http://cheatskape.com/wtag/sendchat.php [content_type] => text/xml; charset=UTF-8 [http_code] => 200 [header_size] => 439 [request_size] => 208 [filetime] => -1 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 0.39 [namelookup_time] => 0 [connect_time] => 0.188 [pretransfer_time] => 0.188 [size_upload] => 68 [size_download] => 2039 [speed_download] => 5228 [speed_upload] => 174 [download_content_length] => 2039 [upload_content_length] => 0 [starttransfer_time] => 0.39 [redirect_time] => 0 [certinfo] => Array ( ) ) I am trying to go to http://lirr42.mta.info/ and get the data from the submitted form. I have rebuilt the form exactly as needed, and done a few adjustments. The posts that I am sending from MY form, are the same as the one on the site. This site allows public data mining by the way. So does someone seem something wrong with my code? I know the basics are working. I have another page that is working fine.

KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Council is considering the addition of a potential user's insurance fee to the current $350 rental fee for the Kershaw Country Club ballroom.
That, town leaders fear, is a move that could nearly double the rental cost.
At the Nov. 18 meeting, Kershaw Town Administrator Rick Walters told council members it's time to review the policy for rentals of town properties.
Five people were charged this week after another spree of mailbox vandalisms was discovered last weekend.
Two adults and three juveniles under 17 years old were charged Monday, Nov. 25, with multiple counts of malicious injury to property, $2,000 or less, in connection with a string of mailbox vandalisms that happened between Nov. 23 and 24, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release.
The adults include Trevor Smitherman, 17, 2524 Aldridge Lane, and Logan Gordon, 17, 1087 Potter Road, the release said.
The search is on.
Flipping through an indexed binder crammed full of cost information and color property maps, Lancaster County Councilman Bob Bundy began the hunt for a new home for the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp.
Joining him in the small room on the top floor of the County Administration building on Nov. 21, were fellow councilmen Jack Estridge and Brian Carnes, all members of a newly created Economic Development Office Location committee. Also in attendance was County Administrator Steve Willis.
While sitting down to enjoy turkey during the Thanksgiving leftovers today, remember that although wild and domestic turkeys are genetically the same species, that's about where the similarity ends.

FORT CARSON, COLO. -- Military officials said three troops killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan were assigned to units based at Fort Carson.
The Defense Department identified them Thursday as 38-year-old Air Force Maj. Walter D. Gray, of Conyers, Ga.; 35-year-old Army Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy, of West Point, N.Y.; and 45-year-old Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin, of Laramie, Wyo.
Authorities had said earlier that insurgents who detonated suicide vests Wednesday in Kunar province killed three coalition service members and a civilian.
Gray was an air liaison officer and flight commander for the Fort Carson-based 13th Air Support Operations Squadron, which is part of the 93d Air Ground Operations Wing headquartered in Georgia.
Kennedy and Griffin were assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
Griffin was a 24-year Army veteran who was on his sixth deployment. He received 60 awards for service. Kennedy was a 12-year Army veteran with 26 awards.

Introduction This unit examines how national practices for financial reporting have evolved and why different rules are in place within different jurisdications. In times past, imperialism and war have both been responsible for expanding financial rules across Europe and the world . More recently the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the United States has had the same, if unintentional, effect.

2.6 The portrayal of traditional symbols of power
In this unit we will examine a range of Napoleonic imagery by David, Gros and a number of other artists, beginning with comparatively simple single-figure portraits and moving on to elaborate narrative compositions such as Jaffa and Eylau. In so doing, we will have three main aims: to develop your skills of visual analysis, to examine the relationship between art and politics and to introduce you to some of the complex issues involved in interpreting works of art.
1.3 The perils of partnership: policy as an adaptive system Here the focus is on an organic way of understanding the relationship between policy and action. From this perspective, government, public service organisations, contractors, staff and, more recently, the public themselves are viewed not as cogs in a machine but as mutually interacting elements of an adaptive policy system. As in other organic entities – populations, species, even the human body itself – change takes place around an equilibrium point at which the entity is in balan

Many health science students do not enroll in undergraduate dissection-based anatomy courses during their pre-professional education. As a result, they are not familiar with dissection instruments and the mechanics of dissection, and are poorly prepared for medical, dental, and allied health science anatomy courses. Thus, the first dissections are very challenging and require extensive help from instructors. This program is designed to alleviate those deficits. It serves as an introduction to di
Introduction This unit looks at the management of local knowledge-generating practices. You will explore the processes that link practices to global contexts and learn to identify the key dimensions of globalisation and explore the implications for knowing how to 'do things' in a variety of contexts. You will go on to compare the approaches to managing and organising, based on universally applicable principles, with context-specific rationalities and look at how viable interpretations of reality

Introduction The focus of this unit is on implementing a project. The first part considers how the activities of a project start. Although planning and action run side by side, it is often difficult to initiate action to progress the first tasks. Once things start to happen, the project enters a new stage. Management of the project changes, from stimulating the initial action to monitoring and reviewing it in order to control the project's progress. Control systems are essential in managing a project of a

Analyzing and Developing Role-Based Access Control Models
Role-based access control (RBAC) has become today's dominant access control model, and many of its theoretical and practical aspects are well understood. However, certain aspects of more advanced RBAC models, such as the relationship between permission usage and role activation and the interaction between inheritance and constraints, remain poorly understood. Moreover, the computational complexity of some important problems in RBAC remains unknown. In this thesis we consider these issues, develo
Introduction The default learning path in this unit takes a problem-based approach to learning about project management. You work through a realistically complex and messy example of project management and engage in a series of tasks associated with the case-study materials. At each stage of the case study you have access to project management resources which describe useful approaches to project management and introduce useful frameworks and tools. However, these are provided as an aid to your learning n

McCormick's Alan D. Wilson on Pricing, Innovation and the 'Romance of Spice'
In three years as CEO of spice maker McCormick, Alan D. Wilson has been charged with steering the company through difficult economic times and periods of extreme volatility in commodities prices. In a recent conversation with Knowledge@Wharton, Wilson discussed McCormick's efforts to expand internationally, why the increased popularity of Food Network and celebrity chefs has been a boon, and the company's aim to create a relationship with customers by playing up "the romance of spice."Author(s):
Introduction How do financial markets match providers with users, and how efficiently does the market determine prices? Financial markets can be notoriously volatile, and the stock market is possibly the most volatile of them all. This is after all the place where, depending on skill or on luck, investors either 'make a killing' or 'lose their shirts'. But which does it depend on – skill or luck? Or does it depend on a mixture of the two? In this unit, you will find the answers to the

3.2 Post-audio exercises
Attempts to answer problems in areas as diverse as science, technology and economics involve solving simultaneous linear equations. In this unit we look at some of the equations that represent points, lines and planes in mathematics. We explore concepts such as Euclidean space, vectors, dot products and conics.

It was a similar problem in Hull with Prescott. Most people I knew from Hull hated him but they wouldn't vote for any party other than labour.
I'm sure that all those haters will elect JP to his new job of PCC next week.

The Coke Machine
16 September 2010, by mblanding
The Coke Machine takes readers deep inside the Coca-Cola Company and its international franchisees to reveal how they became the number one brand in the world, and just how far they'll go to stay there.
From India and Mexico, where bottling plants are suspected of decimating water supplies and spreading toxic pollution; to Colombia, where Coke union organizers are being killed for trying to protect their rights; to America, where super-sizing and exclusive soda contracts with schools have fueled a childhood obesity crisis, The Coke Machine exposes the costs behind one extremely influential company's quest for international success.

"You can Google my name and one of the first things that comes up is images of me sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and my dog. It was [taken] the day the movie came out. I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18. In [the tabloids] the next day it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot, whereas I'm kind of a weirdo, creative Valley Girl who smokes pot. Big deal. But that changed my daily life instantly. I didn't go out in my underwear anymore."
