Network Transformations
In the process of electric network analysis, it is sometimes convenient to transfer a given network to another network such that the transformed network has exactly the same frequency resposne as the original. The new network, however, may have a form which lends itself to more convenient analysis or, if physically realizable, may yield a more convenient practical circuit. Following an outline of a method of transforming networks, a table of network equivalents and several practical illustrations are given.

Matt Bartkowski joins Bruins for first postseason practice
|04.12.11 at 11:18 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins began their first practice of the postseason Tuesday in preparation of their first-round matchup with the Canadiens. A couple of reinforcements are in town in the form of Anton Khudobin and Matt Bartkowski. Bartkowski is here as a depth guy in place of Steven Kampfer, who is out at least two weeks with a knee injury suffered over the weekend while playing for Providence. Kampfer is with the Bruins at Ristuccia, but will do off-ice work and will work with the medical staff.
The color-coded lines are no different than one would expect. They are as follows:
Milan Lucic – David Krecji – Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Mark Recchi
Rich Peverley – Chris Kelly – Michael Ryder/Tyler Seguin
Daniel Paille – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton
The B's also announced their Black Aces. In addition to Bartkowski, Khudobin and the injured Kampfer, they are Michael Hutchinson, Jamie Arniel, Jordan Caron, Zach Hamill, Lane MacDermid, Trent Whitfield and Yury Alexandrov.
Peter Chiarelli 'relatively satisfied' with Tyler Seguin's development
|04.11.11 at 3:53 pm ET
Rookie Tyler Seguin was among the topics discussed in Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli's conference call with the media on Monday. Seguin played in 73 games as a rookie, totaling 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points. He was a healthy scratch eight times, but Chiarelli noted that having him spend the year back in Plymouth (OHL) would not have helped anyone.
"I'm relatively satisfied with the development," Chiarelli said. "You have to put it in the context of his age and put it in the context of he's an individual who I think has seen that he has to grow in certain areas on and off the ice. He's a real good kid."
Daniel Paille's four goals over his last games has made it safe to assume Seguin will be a healthy scratch when the playoffs begin Thursday, but Chiarelli didn't rule out the idea of the 19-year-old finding his way into the lineup before all is said and done.
"My guess is that he won't start in the lineup for the playoffs. I hope that he finds his way into it. The play is going to ramp up in the playoffs," Chiarelli said. "Had he gone back to juniors, the areas where he had to get better would have been left dormant and so he had to play this year and face those areas head on. A terrifically talented kid with speed, he has to learn to make these plays that he can do and we've seen these plays all the time. So I'm relatively satisfied. Tyler is a good kid and he's going to get better."
Chiarelli admitting that Seguin is unlikely to be in the lineup Thursday shouldn't come as a major surprise, as the combination of Paille's impressive play to close out the season and Seguin's inconsistencies made things pretty predictable.
Though Seguin did get to play in 73 games, his leash was clearly shorter than it would have been had he played for a non-playoff team. As a result, the combination of his raw talents, struggles with physical play and limited ice time left him 22nd in scoring amongst rookies this season.
The more interesting point is Chiarelli pointing out that sending Seguin back to juniors would not have benefitted the youngster. It makes sense, as Seguin's dominant play for Plymouth in his draft year (48+58=106), suggests that he probably wouldn't have taken it upon himself to become a more physical player, as he could get results without it.
Just how Seguin could end up finding his way into the lineup remains to be seen. At face value, it seems it would take an injury to a forward or detrimental play from Paille.
Steven Kampfer out at least two weeks with knee injury
|04.11.11 at 12:45 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said in Monday's conference call that rookie defenseman Steven Kampfer will be out for at least two weeks after sustaining a knee injury while playing for Providence on Saturday. Kampfer left the contest vs. Springfield after trying to return to the ice for another shift.
"Steven injured his knee and is going to be evaluated in the next couple of days," Chiarelli said. "My guess is he'll be gone for at least two weeks."
Kampfer played in 38 games for Boston this season, but figured to be a healthy scratch in the playoffs given that he played just once (March 31) following a rough game in Nashville in which a defensive lapse and a penalty in overtime played a major role in the Predators' come-from-behind win over the B's. He was sent to Providence on April 6 to get more game action.
With Kampfer out for at least the first round of the playoffs, Shane Hnidy is clearly the first defenseman the B's would go to in case of injury, though Chiarelli stressed that the B's have options should they suffer more injuries on the blue line.
"We've got depth beyond that in [Matt] Bartkowski, [Andrew] Bodnarchuk and [Colby] Cohen. We've got some players that can fill in," Chiarelli said. "Obviously, it's a blow to our depth, but from what I'm told, it's not that bad. I can't give you an exact time frame, but I now it's at least two weeks."
Kampfer, 22, totaled five goals and five assists for 10 points with Boston in the regular season.
On the subject of depth, Chiarelli noted that goaltender Anton Khudobin will be among 10 or so Black Aces the B's will be able to use for depth purposes. Zach Hamill is also in that group.
Playoffs begin Thursday for Bruins
|04.11.11 at 2:44 am ET
The Bruins will open their 2011 playoff schedule Thursday at the TD Garden against the Canadiens at 7 p.m. Boston will host the first two games of the best-of-seven first-round set, with Game 2 set for Saturday at the Garden at 7 p.m. Montreal will serve as the site for the next two games, as the Canadiens will host Game 3 (April 18 at 7:30 p.m.) and Game 4 (April 21 at 7 p.m.).
If needed, the series will move back to Boston for Game 5, which is scheduled for April 23 at 7 p.m. Montreal would host Game 6 ' again, if needed ' on April 26 with the time to be determined. If the two teams need to play a Game 7, the game (time also TBD) would be April 27.
Bruins fall to Devils in regular season finale
|04.10.11 at 5:20 pm ET
The Bruins finished their regular season schedule Sunday, taking a 3-2 loss to the Devils in New Jersey.
Tuukka Rask took the loss for the B's, getting the start after Tim Thomas sealed the single-season save percentage record in his final start Saturday. Rask allowed goals to Patrik Elias, Vladimir Zharkov and Alexander Urbom.
Rich Peverley scored the first goal for the Bruins, beating Johan Hedberg for his 18th goal of the year. A Dennis Seidenberg shot with less than four seconds remaining also yielded a Boston goal. Mark Recchi and Zdeno Chara did not play for the Bruins, as they stayed in Boston after playing the first 81 games of the season.
The Bruins finished the regular season with a 46-25-11 record and 103 points. They will be the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed when they go against the Canadiens in the playoffs begin next week.
– The game didn't mean anything, but the B's shouldn't have shown it the way they did in the second period. They had just one shot on the goal in the second, while the Devils had 10.
– The one injury scare came for rookie Tyler Seguin, who took a high stick in the second period and left the bench, though it did not appear serious and he returned to the game in the third period.
– Dennis Seidenberg was on the ice for the first two Devils goals. He took the shot that led to the the final goal, but his minus-1 rating on the game means he finishes the season with a plus-3, worst among Bruins defensemen this season.
– Nathan Horton did not register a shot on goal Sunday, making it the 10th game this season in which he had zero shots on goal. Horton has picked it up of late (six goals over the final 10 games), but he needs to put pucks on net if he wants them to go in.
– Nobody was hurt, and that's the biggest thing the Bruins could have been hoping for in a meaningless regular-season-ending game.
More importantly, Tuukka Rask did not get injured or yanked in the game. He made the save of the game on David Clarkson in the second period. Plus, imagine all the re-adjusting of the Tim Thomas record stories.
– Peverley scored for the second time in as many games. The Bruins need to have both the David Krejci line and the Patrice Bergeron line going at the same time once the playoffs start, but it's good to see that they are finally getting something out of Chris Kelly's line.
Steve Kampfer suffers injury while playing for Providence
|04.10.11 at 2:25 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer, sent to Providence for the final three games of the season, left Saturday night's game against the Springfield Falcons and was reportedly spotted on crutches. The extent of the injury is unknown, though Providence coach Rob Murray did touch on it while speaking with P-Bruins radio announcer Adam Kaufman.
"Steve got tangled up in the neutral zone there earlier in the game with a Springfield player. It's still being determined what the extent of his injury is, but he came back, he played one shift after that, and he didn't feel he could go, so we shut him down for the game," Murray told Kaufman. "Hopefully it's not too serious."
Kampfer, 22, is in his first full season in the Bruins' organization. In 38 games for Boston this season, he totaled five goals and five assists for 10 points and a plus-9 rating.
Wish granted: Bruins to play Canadiens in first round
|04.09.11 at 9:53 pm ET
The Bruins' push for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference may have been fun while it lasted, but it is over. The Flyers took care of business in a 6-4 win over the Islanders Saturday night, meaning they will have the second seed in the East after spending the last eight games in free-fall (2-4-2). The Bruins, winners of the Northeast Division, will be the No. 3 seed regardless of the outcome of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Devils.
The B's will face the No. 6 seed, which was secured by the Canadiens Saturday night via a 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs. It will be the third first-round meeting between the two teams in the last four years. The Canadiens defeated the Bruins in seven games in 2008, while the B's swept the Habs in 2009. The Canadiens also eliminated the B's in the first round in both 2002 and 2004.
This season, the Bruins have gone 2-3-1 against the Canadiens. In the most recent meeting between the two teams this season, the B's beat the Habs, 7-0, behind a shutout from Tim Thomas. Canadiens goaltender Carey Price has allowed 13 goals over his last two starts at TD Garden.

Is Obama's Quest for Bi-partisan Support Really Worth It?
The president searches for Republican support he probably doesn't need on the stimulus package.
This afternoon President Obama will boldly venture into hostile territory — the chambers of the House and Senate Republicans, where opposition to his stimulus package is widespread. Obama doesn't need to be there, since Democrats have a comfortable advantage in both houses of Congress, and can pretty much put whatever they want in this bill, pass it, and call it a day. But Obama has already demonstrated that all his bi-partisan talk wasn't just campaign shtick. The hundreds of millions in tax breaks in the initial bill were a nod to Republicans, and the White House is signaling today that the provision on family-planning funding, which has been the focus of significant mocking, will be dropped. Obama will hope to find more common ground today, but is it worth the trouble?
• John Dickerson says Obama is going to get his stimulus package either way, but his quest for Republican support will show "just how Obama does the hard things he doesn't absolutely have to do — how he maneuvers around the immovable problems of partisanship, posturing, and the omnipresent presidential temptation to clobber your opponents when you can." [Slate]
• Bob Herbert puts his foot down: "When the G.O.P. talks, nobody should listen ... We listened to the G.O.P. and what do we have now? A trillion-dollar-plus deficit and an economy in shambles." [NYT]
• Janet Hook and Peter Nicholas believe that whether or not Obama gets Republican votes in Congress, the more important measure of success is that he's "winning over more Republican voters than he did on election day." Nevertheless, if he doesn't get Republican support now, it's "a bad omen for his efforts to build bipartisan coalitions on even more divisive issues." [LAT]
• Chuck Todd and friends write that the White House has already agreed to fix the Alternative Minimum Tax, and that might be enough compromise. "By agreeing to include a few Republican ideas, the White House may have the talking points they want." [First Read/MSNBC]
• Howard Fineman thinks that if ultimately Republican support doesn't materialize, "it may not matter that much. In 1993, Bill Clinton passed his first and most important — and successful — tax bill without a single GOP vote in the House." Unlike Obama, though, "Clinton wasn't proposing to change the way Washington worked. He just wanted to win, and he did." [MSNBC]
• Steve Kornacki doesn't get what the big hubbub about Republican opposition is all about. "This is what opposition leaders in Congress do," and even with Obama's outreach, "it will be a shock if more than a scattering of Republicans don't follow their leader, Mr. Boehner, and use the vote to cater to their base." [NYO]
• Irwin M. Stelzer cautions conservatives that "nitpicking around the edges of this recovery program won't be enough either to derail or to lay the basis for a 'we told you so' campaign in 2010 or 2012. That will take a coherent counter-proposal." [Weekly Standard]
• Steve Benen "appreciate[s] the political dynamic" in dropping the family-planning funds from the bill. "It's become a distraction, so it's understandable that Democratic leaders prefer to just make the irritation go away." But it's "frustrating" regardless. [Political Animal/Washington Monthly]
• Marc Ambinder says Obama's personal intervention on removing the family-planning money "shows Republicans that he takes (some of) their concerns seriously, even to the point of irritating his own base." But is his base "willing to give him a pass"? [Atlantic]
• Matthew Yglesias isn't "outraged by the idea of dropping a family planning provision from the stimulus bill in response to conservative objections." But when will Obama and the Democrats get the "pro quo" part of the quid pro quo, as in, Republican votes? "Bargaining is smart," but Obama hasn't seen any results yet "for his business tax cuts nor ... for selling out low-income women's access to contraceptives." [Think Progress]

LOCUST GROVE, Ga. (AP) - Evidence the zebra is about to celebrate his one-year anniversary at Noah's Ark, the Locust Grove center that took him in after he was found injured along Interstate 75.
The zebra was believed to be 2 months to 3 months old when he was found last April 8. Authorities believe he fell from a truck passing through Georgia and then was hit by a car.
He was rushed to the veterinary school at Auburn University in Alabama, where he underwent extensive surgery to repair injuries to the pelvis, followed by a second surgery in June.
Noah's Ark spokeswoman Diane Smith says the zebra's health has
improved dramatically.
The shelter will hold a party from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday (April 4). Guests are asked to dress in black and white.

FILE - In a Tuesday, Oct 7, 2008 file photo, men fish from the exposed shore at Lake Lanier in Buford, Ga. Lake Lanier is the main source of water for Atlanta. A Friday, July 17, 2009 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson found that nearly all of Georgia's withdrawals from Lake Lanier, a massive federal reservoir north of Atlanta, are illegal because the lake wasn't built for water supply. The ruling has left Peach State leaders racing against the clock to avoid a potentially dire water shortage in the South's largest urban area. (AP Photo/Greg Bluestein, File)
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue is meeting with the
state's congressional delegation to discuss a response to a federal
court ruling that could restrict metro Atlanta from its main water
Perdue joined Georgia's delegation Monday to discuss the July ruling that found the state has little legal rights to Lake Lanier, a federal reservoir that supplies more than 3 million metro Atlanta residents.
The judge said most of the withdrawals would end in three years
unless Congress approved a settlement.
Perdue has said he wants to "nationalize" the issue and has
encouraged lawmakers to draft legislation to address the
three-state tug-of-war over water rights.
But some senior lawmakers have said they want the leaders of
Georgia, Florida and Alabama to hash it out themselves.

A Riot Sparks Robert Siegel's Love For Radio
When protesters took over buildings at Columbia University on April 23, 1968, NPR's Robert Siegel found his calling.
Siegel worked at the university's radio station, WKCR, and anchored the station's live coverage of the riots, where Students for a Democratic Society and the Student Afro Society railed against the Vietnam War and civil rights violations.
"For me this was a time, first of all, of discovering how much I enjoyed being in the know in a time of tremendous confusion, being of some service to people and telling them what's going on and also not doing it and not being part of it," Siegel tells NPR's Guy Raz.
"I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been working at the radio station or possibly at the student newspaper," Siegel says. "I don't think I would have sat inside a building. It's not in my nature. I've always been an inactivist."
But having a role that was in some way constructive satisfied Siegel's deep curiosity about what was going on. "That clicked for me at that point," he says. "I said, 'Gee, if I could actually do this for a living — there are people who do this — that would be great.' "

Wednesday October 30th, 2013 - 10:11AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!

ShopperTrak expects that consumers will make fewer shopping trips this holiday season, down 1.4%, but it predicts national retail holiday sales will rise 2.4% versus the period in 2012.
Last year's 10 busiest shopping days accounted for 35.7% of tracked retail spending for the period from Black Friday. November 23, 2012, through January 5, 2013, with a year-over-year sales increase of 3%.
Once again, Black Friday, November 29, will register as the single busiest shopping day of the holiday season this year in both total retail shopper traffic and sales. ShopperTrak forecasts that 2013 will be the 10th year in a row Black Friday produces top-performing sales and shopper traffic. The firm added that December 21 the final so-called Super Saturday before Christmas will rank second in sales and traffic. Among the other top 10 shopping sales days will be December 22, December 20, December 14, December 23, December 26, November 30, December 7 and December 28.

This is how I received the bike. It was missing a few small things: a seat binder bolt, a spoke, and a nut or bolt here and there. The Warner speedometer didn't function, so I removed it.

Goose hunting opportunities are fair.
Totals for the year were hunters 3188, harvest 5432 ducks for a 1.7 BPH average. If you wonder how this ranks out over the past 30 years it was 14th in harvest, 17th in hunter #'s and 11th in BPH average. We still have over 100 folks that have not checked out on the isportsman page. If you are one of those people we would greatly appreciate your cooperation in getting checked out so we can get the final data tallied up. Thanks so much for your cooperation and support in transitioning into this new system!!! This information is very valuable in making management decisions and generating funding for future projects.
If the red check out sign is out at check station all hunters are required to stop. Thanks
Neosho WA is transitioning to a new daily permit system called isportsman. Hunters will need to register via PC prior to hunting at Neosho WA. Hunters will be able to login via PC, smartphone, or call in from cell phone or landline phone each day prior to hunitng to get a daily permit, and report back similar to the paper daily permits. Please visit https://kdwpt.isportsman.net/ to register prior to hunting season.
Please remember to fill out the permit with accurate information. THIS INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CURRENT AND FUTURE MANAGEMENT OF THE AREA. FILL OUT ONLY YOUR INDIVIDUAL HARVEST EFFORTS, i.e., NOT A GROUP HARVEST TOTAL.

On the post page I'm looking for a way to add an author bio for users only with the role 'contributor'
This closest thing I've found was this and a few others posts but they were all geared towards comment authors.
we have a few writers (admins, editors) that post all the time and on those posts we don't need the author bio so a conditional to check the role would be perfect. any ideas?

To remove the male genital organ (the penis) from the females genital organ (the vagina) immediately before ejaculation, with the intent of avoiding impregnation. It also has the secondary effect of making clean-up significantly harder, since the mess, instead of being inside of the female, is now all over her stomach or back.
Whatever, she's clean, I'm clean, so I don't use condoms; I just take the pickle out.

GOG to sell The Witcher II next May
The recently relaunched Good Old Games is to sell CD Projekt RPG The Witcher II when it releases next May, according to EG.
An offcial announcement is due at a Witcher II press conference in Poland tonight.
It's also expected to run DRM-free.
The service has only focused on retro-only titles since it began in 2008. Obviously, that's now going to change with W2.
This type of move was also inevitable: CD Projekt also created and run GOG as well.
The Witcher II was confirmed for a May 17, 2011 date earlier this week, with its collector's edition getting out afterwards.

I'm pretty new to python (couple weeks into it) and I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around data structures. What I've done so far is extract text line-by-line from a .txt file and store them into a dictionary with the key as animal, for example.
database = {
'dog': ['apple', 'dog', '2012-06-12-08-12-59'],
'cat': [
['orange', 'cat', '2012-06-11-18-33-12'],
['blue', 'cat', '2012-06-13-03-23-48']
'frog': ['kiwi', 'frog', '2012-06-12-17-12-44'],
'cow': [
['pear', 'ant', '2012-06-12-14-02-30'],
['plum', 'cow', '2012-06-12-23-27-14']
# year-month-day-hour-min-sec
That way, when I print my dictionary out, it prints out by animal types, and the newest dates first.
Whats the best way to go about sorting this data by time? I'm on python 2.7. What I'm thinking is
for each key:
grab the list (or list of lists) --> get the 3rd entry -->
'-'.split it, --> then maybe try the

Drug Safety:
I feel like this school is pretty safe.
Drug Safety:
I'm not saying there's absolutely no drugs (because there are) but the environment doesn't change if someone is taking a hit outside the studio during a break. No peer pressure from anyone, from what I experienced, and everyone is pretty alright about it. I actually see people usually using water vapors more often whenever I'm around. Oh, and people drink. Just not on campus.
Drug Safety:
This campus is completely drug free from my knowledge and understanding. This is a place where students come to succeed and excel their lives to the fullest of their abilities, not to throw everything they have worked so hard for away from the use of drugs and alcohol.
Drug Safety:
Well, it as an art school, so we have designated areas for smoking. Absolutely no smoking inside any studio or room. Students don't really pressure other students into smoking with them; we all just do our own thing, so it's not a bother to me. It's also easy to avoid the smoking area if that isn't your thing. Other than that, I'm not really aware of the drug-related activity the other students engage in outside of school just because I'm not really into that stuff.

Holmgrens Bil CEO Benny Holmgren says his company can no longer take pride in representing the Dutch-owned, Trollhattan-based, brand.
"We feel we can't, or don't want to, support Saab's actions when it time after time doesn't live up to its commitments toward customers, retailers and suppliers."
Saab salary payments were delayed in June and July. Holmgren says the hiked board remunerations therefore feel "incredibly alien."
Saab spokeswoman Gunilla Gustavs confirmed the board remuneration had been increased but said board members have taken no money since around April, when Saab's production went idle.

I am new to WordPress and evaluating it. I am developing a village website. The local businesses want to place rotating adverts on every page. I will be using a pre-developed theme.
How easy is it to integrate a plugin into a wordpress theme? Will I need to do a lot of coding and css work to make it work or is the process more automated?
Lastly, I have looked at some advertising plugins? So far I have seen AdServe and Max Banner Ads. Are either of them any good?
Many thanks in advance...

The person instead took the keys to vehicles on the sales lot and picked out a top of the line $70,000 Ford F-150 Platinum pickup truck, black in color, and drove off. But not before also damaging an orange Mustang and scattering keys in the lot and taking two dealer tags, numbers PG535G and PG533G.

The mechanism of the cleavage of protonated amide bonds of oligopeptides is discussed in detail exploring the major energetic, kinetic, and entropy factors that determine the accessibility of the bx-yz (Paizs, B.; Suhai, S. Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 2002, 16, 375) and "diketopiperazine" (Cordero, M. M.; Houser, J. J.; Wesdemiotis, C. Anal. Chem. 1993, 65, 1594) pathways. General considerations indicate that under low-energy collision conditions the majority of the sequence ions of protonated oligopeptides are formed on the bx-yz pathways which are energetically, kinetically, and entropically accessible. This is due to the facts that (1) the corresponding reactive configurations (amide N protonated species) can easily be formed during ion excitation, (2) most of the protonated nitrogens are stabilized by nearby amide oxygens making the spatial arrangement of the two amide bonds (the protonated and its N-terminal neighbor) involved in oxazolone formation entropically favored. On the other hand, formation of y ions on the diketopiperazine pathways is either kinetically or energetically or entropically controlled. The energetic control is due to the significant ring strain of small cyclic peptides that are co-formed with y ions (truncated protonated peptides) similar in size to the original peptide. The entropy control precludes formation of y ions much smaller than the original peptide since the attacking N-terminal amino group can rarely get close to the protonated amide bond buried by amide oxygens. Modeling the bx-yz pathways of protonated pentaalanine leads for the first time to semi-quantitative understanding of the tandem mass spectra of a protonated oligopeptide. Both the amide nitrogen protonated structures (reactive configurations for the amide bond cleavage) and the corresponding bx-yz transition structures are energetically more favored if protonation occurs closer to the C-terminus, e.g., considering these points the Ala(4)-Ala(5) amide bond is more favored than Ala(3)-Ala(4), and Ala(3)-Ala(4) is more favored than Ala(2)-Ala(3). This fact explains the increasing ion abundances observed for the b2/y3, b3/y2, and b4/y1 ion pairs in the metastable ion and low-energy collision induced mass spectra (Yalcin, T.; Csizmadia, I. G.; Peterson, M. B.; Harrison, A. G. J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 1996, 7, 233) of protonated pentaalanine. A linear free-energy relationship is used to approximate the ratio of the bx and yz ions on the particular bx-yz pathways. Applying the necessary proton affinities such considerations satisfactorily explain for example dominance of the b4 ion over y1 and the similar b3 and y2 ion intensities observed for the metastable ion and low-energy collision induced mass spectra.

Please can Anyone tell me how I downgrade to WC 2.0.20 without losing any data such as products?
The update 2.1.1 was a huge mistake for me :-(
Please can Anyone tell me how I downgrade to WC 2.0.20 without losing any data such as products?
The update 2.1.1 was a huge mistake for me :-(
use your backup.
the backup the programme asked you to make before updating
or are you one of those real guys?
Real guys do not take backup - they cry!
Haha sure I thought I made a backup but the backup went wrong :-(
But I just read downgrading isn't all that when there isn't a backup related to 2.0.20....
You won't lose products when you overwrite your 2.1.* files with 2.0.20, but you need to restore your pages (that have been changed into endpoints in 2.1).
As long as you don't delete the WooCommerce plugin via the administration panel (so don't click the delete link there, you can deactivate though), your data will be safe.
Information about adding the pages back can be found in your (2.0.20) administration panel via WooCommerce > Settings > Pages (tab). It will list there what pages are missing, also shown on the System Status page.
Finally, this shows the importance of having proper backups. Please make sure you at least make a backup (and test it!) before you try to revert to 2.1.1.
my products page and shopping cart icons are all messed up now. How do i downgrade back to 2.1
I would appreciate a details steps
thank you
there is 30 template pages out of date with new upgrade. how to upgrade all?
If you have purchased a theme, contact your theme developer. They have probably (at least, I hope that's why they bundled all template files...) made modifications to the template files, therefore there is no way to automatically update the template files without losing the things your theme did to them.
If it's a custom made theme by yourself, you should match the template files bundled in the plugin to the template files bundled in your theme. There will be differences and these need to be updated in your theme's files.
I've just updated woocommerce plugin to 2.1.6 version and cart page displays the code:
Warning: call_user_func(WC_Shortcode_Cart::output) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in ..../wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-shortcodes.php on line 70
The page does not display anything else, just this code.
Another problem is that My Account page does not work properly. Cannot edit Billing and Shipping addresses, neither the 'change the password' option works.
I've tried to deactivate other plugins and then active one by one, but it did not make any change.
Any help would be appreciated.

I know the following result is true in the case of strong convergence. But I don't know whether it is true in the case of weak convergence also. Let $p>1$. Suppose that each $x_n$ is a non negative sequence such that $\|x_n\|_p=1$ and $\stackrel{w}{x_{n}\rightarrow x}$ in $\ell^p$. Is it true then that $\stackrel{w}{x_n^p\rightarrow x^p}$ in $\ell^1$.
No. Consider the unit vector basis of $\ell_2$.

January 24-27 Potential Significant Winter Storm (Updated 1/20)
By Andrew at 10:18 AM
There is potential for a winter storm from January 24th to January 27th across much of the nation east of the Rockies. Let's do a model analysis and see what the latest forecasts hold.
Shown above is the GFS forecast, valid for the morning of January 25th. We can see the storm system is centered in eastern Tennessee, with precipitation also shown. Snow is shown in blue, and rain is forecasted in the traditional green colors. We see the system is moving relatively eastward towards the Mid-Atlantic, dropping some accumulating snow as it goes. This snow would most likely accumulate in the northern Mid-Atlantic, with cold air still in place following this weekend's cold outbreak and additional cold air following in the wake of this system.
It should be noted that the GFS model has been swaying from a north track (snow hits the Midwest and northern Ohio Valley) to a south track (snow impacts the areas shown above), reducing my trust in its credibility. Now that we have seen the southern track, let's take a glance at the north track.
The highly-respected ECMWF model and its ensemble system (commonly called the EPS) are supporters of the northern track at this time. The ECMWF takes the system a bit north of its ensembles, putting the storm system in south central Indiana. Enough cold air would be in place to theoretically give snow to many of the areas described in the small paragraph above these images, like the Midwest, Ohio Valley and into the Lower Great Lakes. The EPS takes the storm system just a few hairs south of the operational ECMWF model, but nonetheless would keep accumulating snow within the same relative realm of the ECMWF model itself. A quick glance at ECMWF snow accumulations on a pay-to-view site agrees with my above thoughts in a swath of accumulating snow in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, to name a few states.
The Canadian GGEM model, usually not one to be in sync with other models, appears to be lining up relatively well with the ECMWF model, The low pressure system is a bit further north on the GGEM model, and temperatures are warmer than the ECMWF model, but the Canadian model can still theoretically be defined as in the north track. Although I don't really care for the GGEM on account of its messy track record, it's in one of the tracks at this time, and thus deserves to be noticed.
At the moment, looking at various teleconnections, I am seeing the Pacific-North American index go negative during this timeframe. This means negative pressure anomalies (low pressure) on the West Coast (hence negative PNA), which causes high pressure to build in the East. This would most likely prevent suppression of this storm, giving some strength to the North Camp. The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) will be in a phase favorable for making storms stay away from the Deep South and instead taking a more northern route like the ECMWF/EPS are suggesting. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which, in its negative phase can cause Nor'easters, will be too weak to help this situation out.
My preferred forecast: ECMWF/EPS solution. Snow accumulates in Midwest, Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. Heaviest totals hit Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, among others. Accumulations range from 2 inches to 6 inches. Confidence: 60%

Specialty apparel retailer American Eagle had a solid fourth quarter and now is eyeing growth opportunities far from its home market by teaming up with leading South American retail conglomerate Cencosud.
American Eagle Oufitters has turned an April Fool's joke into a business opportunity by launching its first-ever clothing line for "dogs and their owners," American Beagle Outfitters, for a limited-edition Holiday 2014 release.
Roughly 1,300 American Eagle Outfitters employees are participating this year in the retailer's second annual AEO Better World Community Day.
Following disappointing results during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which were consistent with the company's expectations, American Eagle Outfitters has decided to close 150 stores in North America during the next three years, including nearly 100 AE stores.
A little more than a month ago, Robert Hanson resigned as CEO of American Eagle Outfitters, following disappointing holiday sales, and caused shares to drop 10%. Shares dropped again, nearly 7% this time, following what the company called "highly disappointing" fourth-quarter results.
American Eagle Outfitters has named Jay L. Schottenstein, executive chairman of the board, as the company's interim CEO. Schottenstein takes over for Robert Hanson, who is leaving the company.
American Eagle Outfitters has launched its fall 2013 Project Live Your Life campaign with the debut of its "Rock Your Walk" video, featuring cameos by well-known fashion personalities. But the retailer is also turning to social media to make consumers a part of the campaign.
Google has launched its Google Shopping Express program, which features online delivery initially in the San Francisco Bay area.

Actor Glenn Ford, who played strong, thoughtful protagonists in films such as "The Blackboard Jungle," "Gilda" and "The Big Heat," died Wednesday, police said. He was 90.
Paramedics called to Ford's home just before 4 p.m. found Ford dead, police Sgt. Terry Nutall said, reading a prepared statement. "They do not suspect foul play," he said.
Ford suffered a series of strokes in the 1990s.
Failing health forced him to skip a 90th birthday tribute on May 1 at Hollywood's Grauman's Egyptian Theatre. But he did send greetings via videotape, adding, "I wish I were up and around, but I'm doing the best that I can.... There's so much I have to be grateful for."
An avid horseman and former polo player, Ford appeared in many Westerns – including "3:10 to Yuma," with Van Heflin; "Cowboy," with Jack Lemmon; "The Rounders," with Henry Fonda; "Texas," with William Holden; "The Fastest Gun Alive," with Jeanne Crain and Broderick Crawford; "Cimarron", with Anne Baxter; and "The Sheepman," with Shirley MacLaine – but his acting talents also ran to comedy and romance.
Ford appeared in scores of movies during his 53-year Hollywood career. The Film Encyclopedia, a reference book, lists 85 films from 1939 to 1991.
Ford's film credits include "A Stolen Life," a 1946 melodrama with Bette Davis playing twins in love with a lighthouse inspector; "The Teahouse of the August Moon," a 1956 satire with Marlon Brando set in U.S.-occupied Japan; "Don't Go Near the Water," a 1957 comedy about the Navy in World War II; "The Gazebo" and "It Started with a Kiss," 1959 comedies with Debbie Reynolds and a long list of actors who became beloved on television; "Pocketful of Miracles," in 1961 with Bette Davis and Peter Falk; "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," a 1963 comedy with Shirley Jones and Stella Stevens in which his romantic plans are foiled by a very young Ron Howard; and 1978's "Superman: The Movie," in which he played Jonathan Kent to Christopher Reeve's budding Man of Steel.
On television, Ford appeared in "Cade's County," "The Family Holvak," "Once an Eagle" and "When Havoc Struck."
A tireless worker -- Ford often made several films a year -- Ford continued working well into his 70s. In 1992, though, he was hospitalized for more than two months for blood clots and other ailments, and at one point was in critical condition.
"Noel Coward once told me, 'You will know you're old when you cease to be amazed.' Well, I can still be amazed," said Ford, in a 1981 interview with The Associated Press.
After getting his start in theater in the 1930s, he got a break when he was signed by Columbia Pictures mogul Harry Cohn.

WHEN TO GO Zanzibars climate is typically tropical, making for hot and humid weather most of the year. There are two rainy seasons. The "long" masika rains (dubbed the "Green Season" by some hoteliers) fall from March to May, and are especially heavy from April onwards when some of the larger hotels close. The lighter "short" mvuli rains come between October and early December. The end of both rainy seasons is heralded by blustery winds. The rest of the year is hot and dry, with temperatures gradually increasing from July until the onset of the short rains. Ramadan (see p.30 for dates) is not the best time to visit, as most restaurants are closed by day and the atmosphere, especially in Stone Town, is not at its brightest.

By Staff Sgt. Rob Strain, 15th Sustainment Brigade Public AffairsOctober 31, 2009
CONTINGENCY OPERATING LOCATION Q-WEST, Iraq - The 351st Ordnance Detachment relinquished authority to the 163rd Ordnance Detachment during a ceremony at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation center here Oct. 27.
Over the past 10 months, the 351st has been responsible for the ammunition supply point here, and has set the standard for the 163rd to follow, said Lt. Col. Dennis Dockery, the 395th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion commander.
"Today's Army is the best trained, best led, and most capable in our Army's history, and this unit is a prime example of this," Dockery said during the ceremony. "Every Soldier in the 351st can be proud of the work they put in during this deployment."
The detachment has safely moved more than 3,700 tons of ammunition and 1.2 million pounds of explosives and accounted for nearly $20 million worth of ammunition during its tenure here, said. 1st Lt. Randall Holmes, the commander of 351st.
"You were still able to maintain your professionalism and improve on your military professional development," Holmes, a Leesburg, Va., native, said to his Soldiers.
He explained that 351st's Soldiers took advantage of every type of military course offered on Q-West, as well as college and correspondence courses, which lead to the promotion of nearly half of the detachments Soldiers.
"That's because of the work you did; your commitment to excellence," Holmes said to the Soldiers in formation.
Holmes said it can be easy to forget about the Soldiers running the ammunition supply point when everything is going smoothly, but food and water are not the only pieces of logistics.
"In a combat zone, you can make it weeks without food, days without water, but not one second without ammunition," Holmes said.
The 163rd Ordnance Detachment is an Army Reserve unit based out of Irvine, Calif., and is commanded by Capt. Daniel Schilleci.
"This is what we've trained for, and we have a huge mission ahead of us," Schilleci, a Sherman Oaks, Calif., native, said. "Keep on task, maintain your discipline and keep your standards."

Terminator Salvation
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language. Running time: 114 minutes. Two stars out of four.
We have seen the future in "Terminator Salvation," and the future is noisy.
This fourth flick in the "Terminator" saga takes place in 2018, 14 years after Judgment Day. John Connor is a rising force in the resistance against Skynet, the artificial intelligence network that started thinking for itself and eradicating humanity. He has seen destruction and listened to the recordings left by his mother that foretell his future, but he has yet to send anyone back in time in hopes of stopping it, including the man who will become his father.
(You definitely need to have seen the first three movies to have a clue as to what's going on here. This is no time to play catch-up. Being a fan also helps.)
McG, director of the "Charlie's Angels" movies and "We Are Marshall," drops into this well-established lore and presents a post-apocalyptic world that is repetitively bleak and relentlessly loud. Yes, the machines have taken over, so of course there's going to be a healthy amount of clanging, crunching metal and automatic weapon fire — but even things that shouldn't be noisy, like the lighting of a flare, sound like a rocket launch.
And Christian Bale steps into the role of John Connor, played previously by Edward Furlong and Nick Stahl, and he … well, he does the same voice he uses when he dons the black suit for the "Batman" movies, a monotone, guttural growl regardless of the dialogue. Connor's function as Christ figure is clearer than ever in the script from John Brancato and Michael Ferris, who also wrote 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," nearly everyone who managed to stay alive describes this "JC" as a messiah and a prophet, but not everyone believes it. The metaphor adds yet another layer of portentousness — but the writers also threw in a couple of classic "Terminator" lines, ostensibly to lighten the suffocating mood. Instead, they're real groaners.
John must find and protect his future father, teenager Kyle Reese (the plucky Anton Yelchin), while also trying to determine whether to trust the mysterious stranger Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to help him with this quest. Worthington has the masculine good looks and formidable screen presence to stand strong opposite Bale — but, naturally, he also has to scream a lot. This installation sorely needs more of the kind of liveliness Arnold Schwarzenegger brought to the franchise.
"Terminator Salvation" does feature some inventive camerawork, though — McG is a commercial and music video veteran, after all — and the intricate special effects we've come to expect from the series (the work of the late Stan Winston, who died before the film was finished). Several of the new villainous devices are extremely cool, including the Hydrobots, four-foot-long killer eels that attack under water.
But there's not much here in the way of way of humanity, even with the strong feminine presence of actresses including Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood and Jane Alexander. It seems the machines have already won.

5 Tips to Create Your Very Own Moroccan Escape at Home
Lately I've been quite reminisce about my trip to Tangiers, Morocco in the mid-90's. It was my first time in Africa and I'd never been to a place as exotic and strikingly different from the U.S. or Europe. The flavors, colors and scents were ones I felt instantly comfortable with and the intricate designs and deep-colored decor using uniquely Moroccan textiles ...Read More »
Arugula and White Cheddar Frittata
During my college years, I had a small patch of land in my back yard and would often make nice homemade meals for my younger cousin who lived in the dorms. Coming from Sicily just a few years earlier and craving a taste of home, she was so excited to see that there was an opportunity to have some freshly grown ...Read More »

Young Bradenton pro on upswing

BRADENTON - Sekou Bangoura looked poised and powerful Thursday as he continues to polish his game on the USTA Pro Circuit.
The 20-year-old Bradenton resident won his second-round match 6-1, 7-6 (5) over fellow American Jean-Yves Aubone at the inaugural IMG Academy $10K Futures tournament.
"I feel stronger," said Bangoura, who starred at the University of Florida before turning professional. "I've been playing a little bit better at the end of the year. It's been a long year and a lot of tennis."
In addition to being happy about moving into today's quarterfinal round, the former student at the Out-of-Door Academy was also relieved to win his second-set tiebreaker in order to avoid playing a third set.
"It helps not having to play that third set," Bangoura said. "You have to work hard playing on clay.
"It's always good to play well at home. That's what I want to do."
With the IMG event being the last tournament of the season, Bangoura looks forward to spending time at home and hitting the gym until next season revs up in January.
"I know you've heard it before, but it's just one step at a time," he said. "I'll try to play better as we go deeper into the tournament. We'll see what happens."
Bangoura has much in common with Bjorn Fratangelo, 19, of Pittsburgh, who turned pro in April after much soul searching.
Fratangelo cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Jhonathan Gonzalez of Venezuela on Thursday in his second-round match.
Fratangelo had solid scholarship offers from Ohio State, Virginia and Georgia, but he elected to take on the Pro Circuit.
"I probably dragged out my decision longer than I should have," Fratangelo said. "It messed with my head."
What tipped the scales for Fratangelo was winning the Junior French Open in 2011.
"That got me recognized," he said. "That's when I thought I could do this without school. I'm comfortable and I feel secure and at peace with what I did."
Frantangelo was also grateful for a quick match on Thursday.
"At this stage, it's really important," he said. "This is my sixth straight week on the road. This is the last one of the year, so to get an easy one felt pretty good."
Frantangelo's father is a tennis coach. You don't need much imagination to figure out that he named his son after tennis legend Bjorn Borg.
"Thank God I like tennis," Fratangelo said. "If I hadn't played tennis, I guess I would have had to change my name."
Also on Thursday, France's Florian Reynet, the tournament's No. 1 seed, breezed by Mitchell Krueger 6-3, 6-0.
No. 2 seed Daniel Garza of Mexico defeated Ecuador's Juan-Sebastian Vivanco 6-4, 6-2.
No. 3 seed Alexandre Folie of Belarus disposed of Jon Wiegand 6-1, 6-1.
Tunisia's Mohamed Abid beat No. 6 seed Vladimir Obradovic of Serbia 6-3, 6-2.
Germany's 15-year-old Alexander Zverev, who made his way into the main draw by winning last week's wild card tournament, continued to impress by beating No. 4 seed Benjamin Balleret of Monaco 6-3, 2-6, 4-1, Ret.
Finally, Luke Bambridge of Great Britain made his way to today's quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Ryan Thacher.
Today's quarterfinal round matches begin at 10 a.m.
