Elixir v1.3.4 Inspect protocol
The Inspect
protocol is responsible for converting any Elixir
data structure into an algebra document. This document is then
formatted, either in pretty printing format or a regular one.
The inspect/2
function receives the entity to be inspected
followed by the inspecting options, represented by the struct
Inspect.Opts
.
Inspection is done using the functions available in Inspect.Algebra
.
Examples
Many times, inspecting a structure can be implemented in function
of existing entities. For example, here is MapSet
’s inspect
implementation:
defimpl Inspect, for: MapSet do
import Inspect.Algebra
def inspect(dict, opts) do
concat ["#MapSet<", to_doc(MapSet.to_list(dict), opts), ">"]
end
end
The concat
function comes from Inspect.Algebra
and it
concatenates algebra documents together. In the example above,
it is concatenating the string "MapSet<"
(all strings are
valid algebra documents that keep their formatting when pretty
printed), the document returned by Inspect.Algebra.to_doc/2
and the
other string ">"
.
Since regular strings are valid entities in an algebra document, an implementation of inspect may simply return a string, although that will devoid it of any pretty-printing.
Error handling
In case there is an error while your structure is being inspected,
Elixir will raise an ArgumentError
error and will automatically fall back
to a raw representation for printing the structure.
You can however access the underlying error by invoking the Inspect implementation directly. For example, to test Inspect.MapSet above, you can invoke it as:
Inspect.MapSet.inspect(MapSet.new, %Inspect.Opts{})

How do I block mail from a specific sender?
What is the largest message I can receive?
With an Atmail email account, you can receive and send messages up to $pref['max_msg_size'] MB. Therefore, the total encoded size of the email message you are sending cannot exceed $pref['max_msg_size'] MB.
NOTE: When attaching files to your email message, they must be encoded and in doing so, will increase in size. The attachments sent with email have to be translated into a different format so that other email programs can read it. This type of transformation will add about 33% to the original size of the attachment. Therefore, due to the translation a 2MB attachment may turn into a 2.66MB email after encoding.


This section describes requirements and guidelines that should be followed both for the core package and for affiliated packages.
Note
Affiliated packages will only be considered for integration as a module in the core package once these guidelines have been followed.
Packages that use six must include the following in their setup_package.py file:
def requires_2to3(): return FalseCode that uses six should use the following preamble:
from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals)Code that uses 2to3 may limit the __future__ statement to only the following, if necessary (though using all 4 is still preferred):
from __future__ import print_function, divisionAdditional information on writing code using six that is compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x is in the section Writing portable code for Python 2 and 3.
The new Python 3 formatting style should be used (i.e. "{0:s}".format("spam") instead of "%s" % "spam"), although when using positional arguments, the position should always be specified (i.e. "{:s}" is not compatible with Python 2.6).
The core package and affiliated packages should be importable with no dependencies other than components already in the Astropy core, the Python Standard Library, and NumPy 1.6.0 or later.
The package should be importable from the source tree at build time. This means that, for example, if the package relies on C extensions that have yet to be built, the Python code is still importable, even if none of its functionality will work. One way to ensure this is to import the functions in the C extensions only within the functions/methods that require them (see next bullet point).
Additional dependencies - such as SciPy, Matplotlib, or other third-party packages - are allowed for sub-modules or in function calls, but they must be noted in the package documentation and should only affect the relevant component. In functions and methods, the optional dependency should use a normal import statement, which will raise an ImportError if the dependency is not available.
At the module level, one can subclass a class from an optional dependency like so:
try:
from opdep import Superclass
except ImportError:
warn(AstropyWarning('opdep is not present, so <functionality below> will not work.'))
class SuperClass(object): pass
class Whatever(Superclass):
...
General utilities necessary for but not specific to the package or sub-package should be placed in the packagename.utils module. These utilities will be moved to the astropy.utils module when the package is integrated into the core package. If a utility is already present in astropy.utils, the package should always use that utility instead of re-implementing it in packagename.utils module.
The built-in print(...) function should only be used for output that is explicitly requested by the user, for example print_header(...) or list_catalogs(...). Any other standard output, warnings, and errors should follow these rules:
The logging system uses the built-in Python logging module. The logger can be imported using:
from astropy import log
The code will follow the standard PEP8 Style Guide for Python Code. In particular, this includes using only 4 spaces for indentation, and never tabs.
Follow the existing coding style within a subpackage and avoid making changes that are purely stylistic. In particular, there is variation in the maximum line length for different subpackages (typically either 80 or 100 characters). Please try to maintain the style when adding or modifying code.
One exception is to be made from the PEP8 style: new style relative imports of the form from . import modname are allowed and required for Astropy, as opposed to absolute (as PEP8 suggests) or the simpler import modname syntax. This is primarily due to improved relative import support since PEP8 was developed, and to simplify the process of moving modules.
Note
There are multiple options for testing PEP8 compliance of code, see Testing Guidelines for more information. See Emacs setup for following coding guidelines for some configuration options for Emacs that helps in ensuring conformance to PEP8.
Astropy source code should contain a comment at the beginning of the file (or immediately after the #!/usr/bin env python command, if relevant) pointing to the license for the Astropy source code. This line should say:
# Licensed under a 3-clause BSD style license - see LICENSE.rst
The import numpy as np, import matplotlib as mpl, and import matplotlib.pyplot as plt naming conventions should be used wherever relevant. from packagename import * should never be used, except as a tool to flatten the namespace of a module. An example of the allowed usage is given in Acceptable use of from module import *.
Classes should either use direct variable access, or python’s property mechanism for setting object instance variables. get_value/set_value style methods should be used only when getting and setting the values requires a computationally-expensive operation. Properties vs. get_/set_ below illustrates this guideline.
All new classes should be new-style classes inheriting from object (in Python 3 this is a non-issue as all classes are new-style by default). The one exception to this rule is older classes in third-party libraries such the Python standard library or numpy.
Classes should use the builtin super() function when making calls to methods in their super-class(es) unless there are specific reasons not to. super() should be used consistently in all subclasses since it does not work otherwise. super() vs. Direct Calling illustrates why this is important.
Multiple inheritance should be avoided in general without good reason. Multiple inheritance is complicated to implement well, which is why many object-oriented languages, like Java, do not allow it at all. Python does enable multiple inheritance through use of the C3 Linearization algorithm, which provides a consistent method resolution ordering. Non-trivial multiple-inheritance schemes should not be attempted without good justification, or without understanding how C3 is used to determine method resolution order. However, trivial multiple inheritance using orthogonal base classes, known as the ‘mixin’ pattern, may be used.
__init__.py files for modules should not contain any significant implementation code. __init__.py can contain docstrings and code for organizing the module layout, however (e.g. from submodule import * in accord with the guideline above). If a module is small enough that it fits in one file, it should simply be a single file, rather than a directory with an __init__.py file.
When try...except blocks are used to catch exceptions, the as syntax should always be used, because this is available in all supported versions of python and is less ambiguous syntax (see try...except block “as” syntax).
Command-line scripts should follow the form outlined in the Writing Command-Line Scripts document.
For maximum compatibility, we need to assume that writing non-ascii characters to the console or to files will not work. However, for those that have a correctly configured Unicode environment, we should allow them to opt-in to take advantage of Unicode output when appropriate. Therefore, there is a global configuration option, astropy.conf.unicode_output to enable Unicode output of values, set to False by default.
The following conventions should be used for classes that define the standard string conversion methods (__str__, __repr__, __unicode__, __bytes__, and __format__). In the bullets below, the phrase “unicode instance” is used to refer to unicode on Python 2 and str on Python 3. The phrase “bytes instance” is used to refer to str on Python 2 and bytes on Python 3.
For classes that are expected to roundtrip through strings (unicode or bytes), the parser must accept either the output of __str__ or __unicode__ unambiguously. Additionally, __repr__ should roundtrip when that makes sense.
This design generally follows Postel’s Law: “Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send”.
The following example class shows a way to implement this (using six for Python 2 and 3 cross-version compatibility:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from astropy.extern import six
from astropy import conf
class FloatList(object):
def __init__(self, init):
if isinstance(init, six.text_type):
init = init.split('‖')
elif isinstance(init, bytes):
init = init.split(b'|')
self.x = [float(x) for x in init]
def __repr__(self):
# Return unicode object containing no non-ascii characters
return '<FloatList [{0}]>'.format(', '.join(
six.text_type(x) for x in self.x))
def __bytes__(self):
return b'|'.join(bytes(x) for x in self.x)
if six.PY2:
__str__ = __bytes__
def __unicode__(self):
if astropy.conf.unicode_output:
return '‖'.join(six.text_type(x) for x in self.x)
else:
return self.__bytes__().decode('ascii')
if six.PY3:
__str__ = __unicode__
Additionally, there is a test helper, astropy.test.helper.assert_follows_unicode_guidelines to ensure that a class follows the Unicode guidelines outlined above. The following example test will test that our example class above is compliant:
def test_unicode_guidelines():
from astropy.test.helper import assert_follows_unicode_guidelines
assert_follows_unicode_guidelines(FloatList(b'5|4|3|2'), roundtrip=True)
As of astropy 0.3, the six library is included to allow supporting Python 2 and 3 from a single code base. The use of the 2to3 tool has been phased out in favor of using six.
To start using six instead of 2to3 in an affiliate package, you first need to put the following in the package’s setup_package.py file:
def requires_2to3():
return False
This section is mainly about moving existing code that works with 2to3 to using six. It is not a complete guide to Python 2 and 3 compatibility.
The top of every .py file should include the following:
from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function,
unicode_literals)
This will make the Python 2 interpreter behave as close to Python 3 as possible.
All files should also import six, whether they are using it or not, just to make moving code between modules easier, as six gets used a lot:
from ..extern import six
(where extern refers to astropy.extern). Do not import six from the top-level: only import the copy of six included with astropy.
Unfortunately, the only way to be certain that code works on both Python 2 and 3 is to make sure it is covered by unit tests.
However, the 2to3 commandline tool can also be used to locate places that require special handling with six. Starting from Python 2 code, or code that is known to work on both Python 2 and 3 by processing it with the 2to3 tool (which is most of the existing code in astropy), simply run 2to3 on the file to display the changes it would make in diff format. This diff can be used to highlight places that need to be updated to use six.
For example, most things that have been renamed between Python 2 and 3 are in the six.moves namespace, so given this Python 2 code:
import cPickle
it can be replaced with:
from ..extern.six.moves import cPickle
Note
The modernize tool aims to convert Python 2 code to portable code that uses six, but at the time of this writing, it is not feature complete and misses many important transformations.
The six documentation serves as a good reference for the sorts of things that need to be updated.
By importing unicode_literals from __future__, many things that were once byte strings on Python 2 will now by unicode strings. This is mostly a good thing, as the behavior of the code will be more consistent between Python 2 and 3. However, certain third-party libraries still assume certain values will be byte strings on Python 2.
For example, when specifying Numpy structured dtypes, all strings must be byte strings on Python 2 and unicode strings on Python 3. The easiest way to handle this is to force cast them using str(), for example:
x = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype=[(str('name'), '>f8')])
The same is true of structure specifiers in the built-in struct module on Python 2.6.
pytest.mark.skipif also requires a “native” string, i.e.:
@pytest.mark.skipif(str('CONDITIONAL'))
The behavior of the methods for iterating over the items, values and keys of a dictionary has changed in Python 3. Additionally, other built-in functions such as zip, range and map have changed to return iterators rather than temporary lists.
In many cases, the performance implications of iterating vs. creating a temporary list won’t matter, so it’s tempting to use the form that is simplest to read. However, that results in code that behaves differently on Python 2 and 3, leading to subtle bugs that may not be detected by the regression tests. Therefore, unless the loop in question is provably simple and doesn’t call into other code, the six versions that ensure the same behavior on both Python 2 and 3 should be used. The following table shows the mapping of equivalent semantics between Python 2, 3 and six for dict.items():
| Python 2 | Python 3 | six |
|---|---|---|
| d.items() | list(d.items()) | list(six.iteritems(d)) |
| d.iteritems() | d.items() | six.iteritems(d) |
The above table holds true, analogously, for values, keys, zip, range and map.
Note that for keys only, list(d) is an acceptable shortcut to list(six.iterkeys(d)).
When from __future__ import unicode_literals is used, all string literals (not preceded with a 'b') will become unicode literals.
Normally, one would use “raw” string literals to encode strings that contain a lot of slashes that we don’t want Python to interpret as special characters. Unfortunately, on Python 2, there is no way to represent '\u' in a raw unicode string literal, since it will always be interpreted as the start of a unicode character escape, such as '\u20af'. The only solution is to use a regular (non-raw) string literal and repeat all slashes, e.g. "\\usepackage{foo}".
The following shows the problem on Python 2:
>>> ur'\u'
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'rawunicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in
position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX
>>> ur'\\u'
u'\\\\u'
>>> u'\u'
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in
position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape
>>> u'\\u'
u'\\u'
This bug has been fixed in Python 3, however, we can’t take advantage of that and still support Python 2:
>>> r'\u'
'\\u'
>>> r'\\u'
'\\\\u'
>>> '\u'
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in
position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape
>>> '\\u'
'\\u'
In general, code should aim to be compatible with the lowest supported version of NumPy. Sometimes, however, it is inefficient to code repeatedly around bugs in earlier versions. For those cases, code can be added to astropy.utils.compat.numpy; see the corresponding instructions for details.
This section shows a few examples (not all of which are correct!) to illustrate points from the guidelines. These will be moved into the template project once it has been written.
This example shows a sample class illustrating the guideline regarding the use of properties as opposed to getter/setter methods.
Let’s assuming you’ve defined a ':class:`Star`' class and create an instance like this:
>>> s = Star(B=5.48, V=4.83)
You should always use attribute syntax like this:
>>> s.color = 0.4
>>> print(s.color)
0.4
Rather than like this:
>>> s.set_color(0.4) #Bad form!
>>> print(s.get_color()) #Bad form!
0.4
Using python properties, attribute syntax can still do anything possible with a get/set method. For lengthy or complex calculations, however, use a method:
>>> print(s.compute_color(5800, age=5e9))
0.4
This example shows why the use of super() leads to a more consistent method resolution order than manually calling methods of the super classes in a multiple inheritance case:
# This is dangerous and bug-prone!
class A(object):
def method(self):
print('Doing A')
class B(A):
def method(self):
print('Doing B')
A.method(self)
class C(A):
def method(self):
print('Doing C')
A.method(self)
class D(C, B):
def method(self):
print('Doing D')
C.method(self)
B.method(self)
if you then do:
>>> b = B()
>>> b.method()
you will see:
Doing B
Doing A
which is what you expect, and similarly for C. However, if you do:
>>> d = D()
>>> d.method()
you might expect to see the methods called in the order D, B, C, A but instead you see:
Doing D
Doing C
Doing A
Doing B
Doing A
because both B.method() and C.method() call A.method() unaware of the fact that they’re being called as part of a chain in a hierarchy. When C.method() is called it is unaware that it’s being called from a subclass that inherits from both B and C, and that B.method() should be called next. By calling super() the entire method resolution order for D is precomputed, enabling each superclass to cooperatively determine which class should be handed control in the next super() call:
# This is safer
class A(object):
def method(self):
print('Doing A')
class B(A):
def method(self):
print('Doing B')
super(B, self).method()
class C(A):
def method(self):
print('Doing C')
super(C, self).method()
class D(C, B):
def method(self):
print('Doing D')
super(D, self).method()
>>> d = D()
>>> d.method()
Doing D
Doing C
Doing B
Doing A
As you can see, each superclass’s method is entered only once. For this to work it is very important that each method in a class that calls its superclass’s version of that method use super() instead of calling the method directly. In the most common case of single-inheritance, using super() is functionally equivalent to calling the superclass’s method directly. But as soon as a class is used in a multiple-inheritance hierarchy it must use super() in order to cooperate with other classes in the hierarchy.
Note
For more information on the the benefits of super(), see http://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/
from module import * is discouraged in a module that contains implementation code, as it impedes clarity and often imports unused variables. It can, however, be used for a package that is laid out in the following manner:
packagename
packagename/__init__.py
packagename/submodule1.py
packagename/submodule2.py
In this case, packagename/__init__.py may be:
"""
A docstring describing the package goes here
"""
from submodule1 import *
from submodule2 import *
This allows functions or classes in the submodules to be used directly as packagename.foo rather than packagename.submodule1.foo. If this is used, it is strongly recommended that the submodules make use of the __all__ variable to specify which modules should be imported. Thus, submodule2.py might read:
from numpy import array,linspace
__all__ = ('foo', 'AClass')
def foo(bar):
#the function would be defined here
pass
class AClass(object):
#the class is defined here
pass
This ensures that from submodule import * only imports ':func:`foo' and ':class:`AClass', but not ':class:`numpy.array' or ':func:`numpy.linspace'.
Catching of exceptions should always use this syntax:
try:
... some code that might produce a variety of exceptions ...
except ImportError as e:
if 'somemodule' in e.args[0]"
#for whatever reason, failed import of somemodule is ok
pass
else:
raise
except ValueError, TypeError as e:
msg = 'Hit an input problem, which is ok,'
msg2 = 'but we're printing it here just so you know:'
print msg, msg2, e
This avoids the old style syntax of except ImportError, e or except (ValueError,TypeError), e, which is dangerous because it’s easy to instead accidentally do something like except ValueError,TypeError, which won’t catch TypeError.
Further tips and hints relating to the coding guidelines are included below.

David Shopping
问题描述 :
The capacity of David’s pocket is so small that it can only contain M gifts. Considering the diversity of his gifts, David would not buy two of the same kind. And some typical gift should be chosen to represent the features of Chengdu.
David will walk down from north to south and visit N shops one by one along the shopping street. There is ONLY ONE type of gift sold in each shop.
David has such a poor memory that he can’t remember how many shops sell gift K . So he will write a number L on this gift he bought in his pocket, to indicate how many shops where sell gift K . In David’s opinion, the smaller the number L is, the better the gift (David like uncommon gifts).
When David stops in a shop which sells gift K , the following three situations he might come across.
1. If there is not gift K in his pocket and still some place for it, He will buy without hesitation. Before putting it into the pocket, David will write down the number `1′ on the gift to indicate that he has once seen one shop selling it.
2. If there is gift K in his pocket, David will just replace the number L with L + 1 , indicating L + 1 shops sell gift K .
3. If there is not gift K in his pocket and the pocket is full, David would like to regard no shops selling gift K (because he cannot remember whether or not he has met gift K ), so he will have to discard one gift in his pocket to release a place for the gift K . But which gift should be discarded? According to the follow rule:
He chooses the gift that has the biggest number L on it. If several gifts have the same biggest number L , he will discard the one which has been putted into the pocket at the earliest time. After discarding the gift, he will put gift K into his pocket and write number `1′ on gift K .
Now, your task is to write a program to record the number of these gifts which have been discarded by David.
For example:
David’s pocket has the capacity only for two gifts. There are 5 shops in the street, and each shop sells only one type of gift. The selling sequence of gifts is 1, 2, 1, 3, and 1.
In shop 1, the pocket is empty, so he will buy gift 1, write a number `1′ on this gift, and then put it into his pocket.
When he comes to shop 2, there is one place left in his pocket, so he buys gift 2, write a number `1′ on it, and then put it into the pocket.
When walking into shop 3, he has already got gift 1 in his pocket, so he will replace the number L (here, L = 1 ) with L + 1 .
When David visits shop 4, the pocket is full, but without gift 3 in it, so he has to discard one gift to release a place for gift 3. The number L on gift 1 is `2′, but the number L on gift 2 is `1′, so he will discard gift 1, write number 1 on gift 3 and then put it into the pocket.
In shop 5, the pocket is full, gift 1 is not in it, he should will discard a gift to find place for gift 1. The number L on gift 2 is `1′, the number L on gift 3 is also `1′. They have the same L , but gift 2 put into the pocket earlier than gift 3. So he discards gift 2, write number `1′ on gift 1 and then put it into the pocket. At the end of the street, David gets two gifts in his pocket, number `1′ on gift 3 and number `1′ on gift 1. The number of discarded gifts is 2.
输入:
The first line has two positive integers M and N ( M<=50, 000 and N<=100, 000 ) where M (the capacity of pocket) shows how many gifts it can take and N is the number of shops in the street. The second line has N positive integers Ki (Ki < 2^20, i = 1, 2,…, N) indicating the type of gift sold in the i -th shop. M = 0 and N = 0 indicate the end of file and should not be processed by your program.

终于明白了递归和dp的关系，多谢分享！
对，这里说的最长回文子序列，非子串
#!/usr/bin/env python def cou(n): arr = [1]
第二个方法挺不错。NewHead代表新的头节点，通过递归找到最后一个节点之后，就把这个节点赋给NewHead，然后一直返回返回，中途这个值是没有变化的，一边返回一边把相应的指针方向颠倒，最后结束时返回新的头节点到主函数。
其实国内大部分公司对算法都不够重视。特别是中小型公司老板根本都不懂技术，也不懂什么是算法，从而也不要求程序员懂什么算法，做程序从来不考虑性能问题，只要页面能显示出来就是好程序，这是国内的现状，很无奈。
我还有个问题想请教一下，就是感觉对于新手来说，递归理解起来有些困难，不知有没有什么好的方法或者什么好的建议？

很好！！
可以根据二叉排序树的定义进行严格的排序树创建和后序遍历操作。如果形成的排序树相同，其树的前、中、后序遍历是相同的，但在此处不能使用中序遍历，因为，中序遍历的结果就是排序的结果。经在九度测试，运行时间90ms，比楼主的要快。
这个.. 真没看出来

About Modeling Better Decisions
Quality decisions need to be made without a full analysis and include uncertainty.
Patterns exist. Comparing a new problem to an existing model can help elude analysis paralysis. A 2010 study by
LexisNexis showed, “on average, employees spend more than half their workdays receiving and managing information rather than using it to do their jobs!”. Recognizing what models we may be using to validate our gut instincts may help us find more models to expand our capabilities.

| containers {cli} | R Documentation |
Container elements may contain other elements. Currently the following
commands create container elements: cli_div()
, cli_par()
, the list
elements: cli_ul()
, cli_ol()

, and list items are
containers as well: cli_li()
.
Container elements need to be closed with cli_end()
. For convenience,
they have an .auto_close
argument, which instructs the container
element to be closed automatically when the function that created it
terminates (either regularly, or with an error).

Free-agent signings each team can be proud of
by Will LeitchHere's a look at the best free-agent signings for each team this century. Some of these players are still on the team, some of them provided their teams tons of value in the past, some of them are just getting warmed up.
Note: For each player, the year listed is the first season he played with the club after he signed the contract, even if he actually signed it the previous November or December.
AL EAST
Blue Jays: Russell Martin, five years, $82 million, 2015
Martin battled injuries the last couple of years of this deal, but he was terrific at the beginning of his contract. The Canadian catcher was perfect fit for a Blue Jays team that leaped when its window was open and made it to the American League Championship Series in consecutive years, with Martin playing a big part.
Orioles: Wei-Yin Chen, three years, $11.3 million, 2012
Chen was perhaps the Orioles' most consistent pitcher for his four years in Baltimore (the club picked up an option for a fourth season), and Miami rewarded him with an even bigger contract when he left.
Rays: Carlos Pena, Minor League deal, 2007
Pena hit 46 homers for the Rays that year, and he was just as good when they re-signed him to a three-year, $24 million deal the next season -- the year Tampa Bay went to its lone World Series.
Red Sox: David Ortiz, one year, $1.25 million, 2003
Ortiz was only a free agent because the Twins released him, making this arguably the most fortuitous free-agent signing ever. Every contract the Red Sox signed him to after this one -- for much more money than he got in this deal -- was more than worth it for them as well.
 He'd later re-sign for four years, ending his career in New York by being named World Series MVP in 2009.
AL CENTRAL
Indians: Juan Gonzalez, one year, $10 million, 2001
This was JuanGone's last full season, and he finished fifth in MVP voting before going to Texas for the declining years of his career.
Royals: Edinson Vólquez, two years, $20 million, 2015
Kendrys Morales was another option here, as both helped the Royals win that elusive World Series.
Tigers: Ivan Rodriguez, four years, $40 million, 2004
Both the Tigers and Rodriguez were widely criticized when he signed such a big deal with one of the worst teams in baseball. Two years later, they were both in the World Series.
Twins: Jim Thome, one year, $1.5 million, 2010
He came back for $3 million the next season, but he was outstanding in 2010, helping the team to the playoffs and looking like a natural fit in a Twins uniform.
White Sox: Jermaine Dye, two years, $10.15 million, 2005
Dye was the slugger the White Sox needed, and by the end of the deal, he had won a World Series MVP Award.
AL WEST
Angels: Vladimir Guerrero, five years, $70 million, 2004
This Hall of Famer's contract, which came a couple of years after A-Rod signed for $252 million with Texas and Manny Ramirez signed for $160 million with Boston, looked like a bargain by comparison.
Astros: Roger Clemens, one year, $5 million, 2004
Clemens signed roughly the same deal with the Astros in 2005, which, according to ERA+, is the best year of his career.
Athletics: Bartolo Colon, one year, $3 million, 2013
Colon was 40 in 2013, when he put up the lowest ERA of his career (2.65).
Mariners: Ichiro Suzuki, three years, $14 million, 2001
Technically, Ichiro was signed last century, but since he didn't play his first game until this one, we're counting him.
Rangers: Adrián Beltré, five years, $80 million, 2011
Beltré had just rebuilt his value in Boston on a one-year deal after a tumultuous five years in Seattle, and went on to become a legend in Texas and cementing his status as a future Hall of Famer.
NL EAST
Braves: Billy Wagner, one year, $7 million, 2010
Wagner's lowest ERA of his career (1.43) came in his final season, which he played in Atlanta.
Marlins: Ivan Rodriguez, one year, $10 million, 2003
Yep, Pudge is on here twice, and why not? He was the vocal leader of a World Series-winning team.
Mets: Carlos Beltrán, seven years, $119 million, 2005
The only people not convinced of this are, of course, Mets fans. Per Baseball Reference's WAR, his two best seasons (and three of his best five) came in Queens.
Nationals: Max Scherzer, seven years, $210 million, 2015
Many teams were scared off by Scherzer's age and violent delivery. Suffice it to say, they wouldn't mind having him right now.
Phillies: Cliff Lee, five years, $120 million, 2011
People were scared off by Lee as well. But he was fantastic nearly every year he was in Philadelphia.
NL CENTRAL
Brewers: Lorenzo Cain, five years, $80 million, 2018
Is it too early to say this already feels like a steal? Maybe. But maybe not.
Cardinals: Matt Holliday, seven years, $120 million, 2010
The Cardinals parted ways with Holliday at the end of his deal, but he provided excess value to them essentially every year of the contract.
Cubs: Moises Alou, three years, $27 million, 2002
Jon Lester may yet trump this -- perhaps he already has -- but Alou helped get the Cubs to within a game of the Fall Classic in 2003, as close as they'd get before finally winning it all in '16.
Pirates: Russell Martin, two years, $17 million, 2013
The Pirates' postseason breakthrough happened the second year of this contract, and Martin was instrumental in making that happen. (Fun note: There are two guys featured twice in this piece, and both of them are catchers -- Martin and Pudge.)
Reds: Aroldis Chapman, six years, $30 million, 2010
Say what you will about the Reds, but they were in on Chapman first.
NL WEST
D-backs: Randy Johnson, four years, $52 million, 1999
The easiest pick on this whole list, obviously. Johnson won the NL Cy Young Award every single year of this deal, going a combined 81-27 with a 2.48 ERA and 1,417 strikeouts in 1,030 innings.
Dodgers: Derek Lowe, four years, $36 million, 2005
The veteran right-hander won 54 games for the Dodgers between 2005-08, never starting fewer than 32 games in a season during that stretch. Yasiel Puig also has a case.
Giants: Ray Durham, three years, $20 million, 2003
Durham hit .286/.362/.451 during this deal, helping the Giants win 100 games in his first year in San Francisco. Barry Bonds would, of course, be the all-time answer, but the only free-agent deal he ever signed with the Giants came prior to the 1993 season, precluding him from qualifying here.
Padres: Joaquin Benoit, two years, $15 million, 2014
Benoit had been a closer the previous year for the Tigers, but the Padres used him as an all-purpose reliever, and he put up a 1.96 ERA over his two seasons in San Diego.
Rockies: Mark Reynolds, one year, $1.5 million, 2017
Reynolds signed a one-year deal with Colorado prior to the 2016 season and was serviceable. He then signed another one-year deal for the following season for less money, and the Rockies got 30 homers out of him on the way to earning a Wild Card spot.

Iowa officials confirm 2 cases of chronic wasting disease
KEOSAUQUA, Iowa (AP) - State officials in Iowa have confirmed that chronic wasting disease has been found in captive whitetail deer on two separate farms in Van Buren County in southeastern Iowa.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship confirmed the cases Friday in a news release. Both farms have been quarantined while the department works to trace potential exposures and contain the disease.
The disease attacks the brains of deer and elk and is always fatal. No human cases have ever been recorded.
The fatal disease first appeared in a wild deer herd in Iowa in 2013.

- When we begin the game, I want you to select one card at a time by clicking on a card from any deck you choose.
 I don't know how much money you will win. You will find out as we go along. Every time you win, the bar gets bigger.
- Every so often, when you click on a card, the computer will tell you that you won some money as usual, but then it will say that you lost some money as well. I don't know when you will lose or how much. You will find out as we go along. Every time you lose, the bar gets smaller.
- You are absolutely free to switch from one deck to the other at any time, and as often as you wish.
- The goal of the game is to win as much money as possible and avoid losing as much money as possible.
- You won't know when the game will end. Simply keep on playing until the computer stops.
- I am going to give you $2000 of credit to start the game.
- The only hint I can give you, and the most important thing to note is this: Out of these four decks of cards, there are some that are worse than others, and to win you should try to stay away from bad decks. No matter how much you find yourself losing, you can still win the game if you avoid the worst decks.
- Also note that the computer does not change the order of the cards once the game begins. It does not make you lose at random, or make you lose money based on the last card you picked.
Thank you!
Your test is complete.

In her magnificent palace in the Emerald City, the beautiful girl Ruler of all the wonderful Land of Oz sat in her dainty boudoir with her friend Princess Dorothy beside her. Ozma was studying a roll of manuscript which she had taken from the Royal Library, while Dorothy worked at her embroidery and at times stooped to pat a shaggy little black dog that lay at her feet. The little dog’s name was Toto, and he was Dorothy’s faithful companion.
To judge Ozma of Oz by the standards of our world, you would think her very young—perhaps fourteen or fifteen years of age—yet for years she had ruled the Land of Oz and had never seemed a bit older. Dorothy appeared much younger than Ozma. She had been a little girl when first she came to the Land of Oz, and she was a little girl still, and would never seem to be a day older while she lived in this wonderful fairyland.
Oz was not always a fairyland, I am told. Once it was much like other lands, except it was shut in by a dreadful desert of sandy wastes that lay all around it, thus preventing its people from all contact with the rest of the world. Seeing this isolation, the fairy band of Queen Lurline, passing over Oz while on a journey, enchanted the country and so made it a Fairyland. And Queen Lurline left one of her fairies to rule this enchanted Land of Oz, and then passed on and forgot all about it.
From that moment no one in Oz ever died. Those who were old remained old; those who were young and strong did not change as years passed them by; the children remained children always, and played and romped to their hearts’ content, while all the babies lived in their cradles and were tenderly cared for and never grew up. So people in Oz stopped counting how old they were in years, for years made no difference in their appearance and could not alter their station. They did not get sick, so there were no doctors among them. Accidents might happen to some, on rare occasions, it is true, and while no one could die naturally, as other people do, it was possible that one might be totally destroyed. Such incidents, however, were very unusual, and so seldom was there anything to worry over that the Oz people were as happy and contented as can be.
Another strange thing about this fairy Land of Oz was that whoever managed to enter it from the outside world came under the magic spell of the place and did not change in appearance as long as they lived there. So Dorothy, who now lived with Ozma, seemed just the same sweet little girl she had been when first she came to this delightful fairyland.
Perhaps all parts of Oz might not be called truly delightful, but it was surely delightful in the neighborhood of the Emerald City, where Ozma reigned. Her loving influence was felt for many miles around, but there were places in the mountains of the Gillikin Country, and the forests of the Quadling Country, and perhaps in far-away parts of the Munchkin and Winkie Countries, where the inhabitants were somewhat rude and uncivilized and had not yet come under the spell of Ozma’s wise and kindly rule. Also, when Oz first became a fairyland, it harbored several witches and magicians and sorcerers and necromancers, who were scattered in various parts, but most of these had been deprived of their magic powers, and Ozma had issued a royal edict forbidding anyone in her dominions to work magic except Glinda the Good and the Wizard of Oz. Ozma herself, being a real fairy, knew a lot of magic, but she only used it to benefit her subjects.
This little explanation will help you to understand better the story you are reaching, but most of it is already known to those who are familiar with the Oz people whose adventures they have followed in other Oz books.
Ozma and Dorothy were fast friends and were much together. Everyone in Oz loved Dorothy almost as well as they did their lovely Ruler, for the little Kansas girl’s good fortune had not spoiled her or rendered her at all vain. She was just the same brave and true and adventurous child as before she lived in a royal palace and became the chum of the fairy Ozma.
In the room in which the two sat—which was one of Ozma’s private suite of apartments—hung the famous Magic Picture. This was the source of constant interest to little Dorothy. One had but to stand before it and wish to see what any person was doing, and at once a scene would flash upon the magic canvas which showed exactly where that person was, and like our own moving pictures would reproduce the actions of that person as long as you cared to watch them. So today, when Dorothy tired of her embroidery, she drew the curtains from before the Magic Picture and wished to see what her friend Button Bright was doing. Button Bright, she saw, was playing ball with Ojo, the Munchkin boy, so Dorothy next wished to see what her Aunt Em was doing. The picture showed Aunt Em quietly engaged in darning socks for Uncle Henry, so Dorothy wished to see what her old friend the Tin Woodman was doing.
The Tin Woodman was then just leaving his tin castle in the company of the Scarecrow and Woot the Wanderer. Dorothy had never seen this boy before, so she wondered who he was. Also she was curious to know where the three were going, for she noticed Woot’s knapsack and guessed they had started on a long journey. She asked Ozma about it, but Ozma did not know.
That afternoon Dorothy again saw the travelers in the Magic Picture, but they were merely tramping through the country and Dorothy was not much interested in them. A couple of days later, however, the girl, being again with Ozma, wished to see her friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman in the Magic Picture, and on this occasion found them in the great castle of Mrs. Yoop, the Giantess, who was at the time about to transform them. Both Dorothy and Ozma now became greatly interested and watched the transformations with indignation and horror.
“What a wicked Giantess!” exclaimed Dorothy.
“Yes,” answered Ozma, “she must be punished for this cruelty to our friends, and to the poor boy who is with them.”
After this they followed the adventure of the little Brown Bear and the Tin Owl and the Green Monkey with breathless interest, and were delighted when they escaped from Mrs. Yoop. They did not know, then, who the Canary was, but realized it must be the transformation of some person of consequence, whom the Giantess had also enchanted.
When, finally, the day came when the adventurers headed south into the Munchkin Country, Dorothy asked anxiously:
“Can’t something be done for them, Ozma? Can’t you change ‘em back into their own shapes? They’ve suffered enough from these dreadful transformations, seems to me.”
“I’ve been studying ways to help them, ever since they were transformed,” replied Ozma. “Mrs. Yoop is now the only Yookoohoo in my dominions, and the Yookoohoo magic is very peculiar and hard for others to understand, yet I am resolved to make the attempt to break these enchantments. I may not succeed, but I shall do the best I can. From the directions our friends are taking, I believe they are going to pass by Jinjur’s Ranch, so if we start now we may meet them there. Would you like to go with me, Dorothy?”
“Of course,” answered the little girl; “I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”
“Then order the Red Wagon,” said Ozma of Oz, “and we will start at once.”
Dorothy ran to do as she was bid, while Ozma went to her Magic Room to make ready the things she believed she would need. In half an hour the Red Wagon stood before the grand entrance of the palace, and before it was hitched the Wooden Sawhorse, which was Ozma’s favorite steed.
This Sawhorse, while made of wood, was very much alive and could travel swiftly and without tiring. To keep the ends of his wooden legs from wearing down short, Ozma had shod the Sawhorse with plates of pure gold. His harness was studded with brilliant emeralds and other jewels and so, while he himself was not at all handsome, his outfit made a splendid appearance.
Since the Sawhorse could understand her spoken words, Ozma used no reins to guide him. She merely told him where to go. When she came from the palace with Dorothy, they both climbed into the Red Wagon and then the little dog, Toto, ran up and asked:
“Are you going to leave me behind, Dorothy?” Dorothy looked at Ozma, who smiled in return and said:
“Toto may go with us, if you wish him to.”
So Dorothy lifted the little dog into the wagon, for, while he could run fast, he could not keep up with the speed of the wonderful Sawhorse.
Away they went, over hills and through meadows, covering the ground with astonishing speed. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Red Wagon arrived before Jinjur’s house just as that energetic young lady had finished scrubbing the Green Monkey and was about to lead him to the caramel patch.

SIGN O' THE TIMES A film review by Craig Good Copyright 1987 Craig Good
Oh, yeah.
SIGN O' THE TIMES, the new concert film from Prince, has so much energy that I'm surprised it can be screened in California without violating Nuclear Free Zone ordinances. I'm not a Prince fan per se, (I liked PURPLE RAIN but avoided UNDER THE CHERRY MOON), and I don't often like what he's saying, but I have to admit the kid knows how to put on a show. His story instincts are good enough to have provided the barest thread of a story line to hold the film together and prevent it from being just a random collection of songs.
The Revolution has regrouped and recouped since Wendy and Lisa left, and the new band is at least as good as it ever was. Whatever they did to keep up the pace, I hope it was legal. The production values of the film are very high. It was mildly disappointing that "U Got The Look" was printed up from video -- I guess they did the post-production for that one on tape. Everything else is well-photographed in 35mm and tightly edited.
Prince has to be one of the most inconsistent song writers in the business. His lyrics range from the near-brilliant ("Sign O' The Times") to sheer dreck ("U Got The Look"). But I've been somewhat fascinated for a while with Prince's aesthetic. Look at the members of his band individually and you see a motley collection of Halloween dropouts. Look at his band as a group and somehow it all fits together. Maybe it's because they all wear more attitude than clothing. I don't get it, but I kinda like it.
I also kinda like his taste in women. Okay, okay. I'm only human. Don't ask me why, but I get a kick out of Cat (Yes, Cat. At least Prince is out of "V" names for his protegees) and her high-frequency gyrations. The big drum solo by Sheila E may well be worth the price of admission. Her rap lick near the end of the film is an impressive demonstration of her near-perfect sense of rhythm. All of her stickwork proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the lady knows her way around a drum set. Not bad, as the icon-laden minstrel himself says, for a girl.
SIGN O' THE TIMES is, as I'm about to say, not bad for a concert film. If you don't enjoy yourself it's probably because Prince is just plain not your cup of tea.
