NEW YORK — Former New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly will be the featured keynote lunch speaker at the 16th annual Drug Store News Industry Issues Summit on Dec. 2 at the New York Athletic Club.
The longest-serving police commissioner in New York City history and the first to serve two separate tenures as the city's top cop, Kelly will share with Issues Summit attendees his experiences from leading one of the largest police departments in the world. Kelly is widely credited for creating the country's first municipal police department counterterrorism bureau and establishing a global intelligence program with New York City detectives in 11 foreign cities.
At the same time, Kelly also led the NYPD in decreasing violent crime by 40% from 2001 levels. In addition, Kelly introduced new big data capabilities to the department, creating the Real Time Crime Center, which mined millions of records to identify investigative leads for New York detectives.
Kelly is the "headliner" for what is gearing up to be another blockbuster Industry Issues Summit conference for Drug Store News. The event, now in its 16th year, features exclusive retailer roundtable discussions around three critical areas of the business — emerging new healthcare technologies; diabetes and chronic care; and driving front-end growth.
An impressive lineup of retail companies has signed on for the Dec. 2 conference, including Walgreens, CVS Caremark, Rite Aid, Costco, Target, Sam's Club, Ahold, Family Dollar, Thrifty White, Cardinal Health, Winn-Dixie, Good Neighbor Pharmacy, Shopko and more.
"The annual Issues Summit is a mainstay event every year during New York Industry Week," said DSN publisher Wayne Bennett. "People who attend Issues Summit gain valuable insights from the leading retail executives in our industry about how to align strategic imperatives with high-growth results. The meeting also provides an intimate setting for great industry networking and leadership connectivity. "
The full-day event includes three separate roundtable discussions: the Health, Wellness and Technology Summit; the Diabetes and Chronic Care Roundtable; and the Industry
Issues Summit.
The conference also provides attendees with networking opportunities, a chance to develop stronger relationships with key industry stakeholders, valuable insights and strategies to grow the business, and an important look at trends.

Derwent May
Snipe are beginning to display over their territories. In winter these birds are hard to see as they feed inconspicuously in wet fields and marshes, probing the mud with their long beaks, or else sleep at the edge of reedbeds. But in spring they draw attention to themselves on the marshes and moors where they nest. They fly round and round in the sky, announcing their presence in two different ways. Sometimes they make a loud, rhythmical "chippa-chippa" note as they go, and they will also make this note from a fence. More dramatically, they dive with their two stiff

Harry: The Justice department and FBI are looking into someone hacking a private email server? The DNC & Hillary conspired to rig a primary election of a major party for President of the United States, and the government is only concerned about hacking. This is unbelievable. The government is willfully allowing this rigged election to continue. How is Hillary not disqualified? The system is corrupt and now we know who its chosen candidate is. Hillary cheated and the Government stands by to attack those who expose injustice. Hillary cannot be trusted.

I ask because this theme http://wordpressthemesbase.com/view/263.html integrates an advertisement at the bottom of the home page that the README says users are not licensed to remove. Can that be right?

What will we leave behind in this new digital age? As digital technology takes an ever-increasing role in our lives, one question is how we'''ll manage our collections after we'''re gone. What takes the place of shoeboxes full of pictures and dog-eared record albums? Get an inside look at Microsoft researcher -Richard Banks'''s thinking about how we might manage the digital artifacts and content we'''re creating now - and how we might pass on or inherit these kinds of items in the future.
GDNet Staff Review:
When I heard that Microsoft was releasing a new technical book series, I was enthused. After all, Code Complete and its contemporaries have become minor classics in their time. And this wasn't exactly what I expected. While previous offerings have been phonebook-sized affairs, The Future of Looking Back is positively puny. It's small and almost devoid of tech-speak. Actually, if not for the prominent mention of Microsoft on the cover and the occasional mention of research projects going on in Redmond, you wouldn't even know Microsoft is involved at all.
The Future of Looking Back is a quick-reading description of how the explosion in digital storage has changed the very nature of our memories and how this change will be taken into the future. And much of it is told in terms of the author's family. While his grandfather's past was encapsulated into a small box containing a few envelopes of well cared-for photos, we can snap hundreds of pictures a day and store them indefinitely for almost no cost at all. And this book details how the author thinks that this will change the very nature of our memories.
But this is a review for a game development website. And the question is "how can this help writing games". And my answer is "I don't know, but it will". I would never have predicted that camera-equipped smartphones would usher in giant-scale role-playing games where you snap pictures of people to see if they are demons. And I did not predict how cheap and plentiful GPS would usher in a physical-reality-based games based on geotagging and geocaching and the like.
This book is entirely conceptual and simply exists to muse about how the storage capacity explosion will change how you in the future will view you in the past. How you will be able to leverage such technology is for you to decide.

3 Ways to Wear: GOLDSIGN Frontier Cropped in Braylon
My obsession with grey jeans is still going strong and this time I chose a clean cropped pair by GOLDSIGN to style. I opted for their Frontier Cropped in Braylon mainly for its wash, but the cut has a strong Kate Moss feel to it that made me decide on three looks that were all inspired by her.
Ms. Moss had a moment a few years back when she lived in her cardigans and cowboy boots, this look was inspired by that time. I paired the jeans with boots by Dingo for the contrast that the worn deep red adds. I then wanted to add a model signature, a muscle t by Isabel Marant. If I were to say there was a perfect muscle t shirt, this would be it. It wouldn't be a look of that time without the cardigan and I chose this simple and clean one by Margiela. Then, it couldn't be a Moss look without some funky accessory. I chose this one by Luv AJ for its slightly organic worn western vibe.
Nothing screams Moss more than the a shrunken blazer, graphic t shirt and some ankle boots. This R13 t shirt is something I can definitely see her wearing because it is just cool. I chose a blazer from TOPSHOP as she is a fan of the high-street store herself. This one is less classic from the ones she typically wears, but still feels as smart. Ankle boots was a no brainer to choose as she has been wearing them with everything since before it was a trend. I chose these by Toga for the details on them and the way it compliments the wash of the jeans. I then wanted to finish the look off with something that wasn't typically of the style icon, but has a fun vibe like her personality. This Valentino bag, I find, to be one of the best bags of the season. There is great charm to it that takes any look to a more fun level.
Now for the boho Moss look. One thing that I appreciate about her style is that she really is versatile with the pieces she wears, but styles them in her own way, which is very strong. Stripes are quintessential when doing any post inspired by her and this t shirt by R13 is just the perfect one. Once again, ankle boots, but they are not just the ordinary ankle boots. I chose this reptile skinned pair by Saint Laurent to add some texture and help contrast the smoothness of the suede jacket from her collaboration from TOPSHOP. As skinny scarves are her thing right now, this one from her collaboration just only fits the bill for the eclectic mix of clothing.
– How many of you get inspired by Kate Moss when choosing grey jeans for the day?
Cara Delevingne in GOLDSIGN Lure Skinny Jeans in Jenice
Cara Delevingne hung out with Ellie Goulding for a bit before having some fun at the Wireless Festival in London. The model wore a pair of GOLDSIGN Lure Skinny jeans in Jenice with some Timberland boots and a cropped shirt.
I really like these jeans on Cara. They are actually one of, if not, the best pairs I have seen on her. I find the width of the leg opening to be more flattering on her when paired with heavier boots like these. I can't wait to see what other GOLDSIGN pairs we will be seeing her in and how she will be styling them. You can click here to purchase these jeans ON SALE from SHOPBOP for $154.
Kendall Jenner in Rag & Bone and Kylie Jenner in Goldsign Boyfriend Jeans
Kendall and Kylie Jenner were snapped while catching a helicopter out of New York City to head to the Hamptons. Kourtney and Khloe are busy filming the latest spin off of their summer in the Hamptons.
Kendall wore her Rag & Bone split tuxedo skinny jeans in black and white, with a white tank and Superga sneakers. Kylie wore a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans from Goldsign, a tank top, and brown booties. I think this photo really illustrates how different the sisters' style is, Kendall tends to be a little more laid back than Kylie. You can buy Goldsign and Rag & Bone online from Shopbop.com.
Candice Swanepoel in GOLDSIGN Lure Skinny Jeans in Hannah
Candice Swanepoel has taken us along on her recent trip to Brazil with a photo diary for Vogue UK. The model wore a pair of GOLDSIGN Lure Skinny jeans in Hannah with a model staple, a muscle t, and a pair of high-top Chucks.
I find Candice to be a second calling of the '90s supermodels with the way clothing fits her. The way high-waisted jeans look on her is amazing, just like the greats that owned the catwalks decades ago. You can click here to purchase GOLDSIGN from SHOPBOP.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron launch trailer comes in 30 and 90 second flavours
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron has two launch spots – a 30 second one for the fly-by-night fan, and a 90 second one to reward you for your patience and dedication to the Autobot cause.
High Moon has written a pretty amazing backstory to explain why there are dinobots and all sorts wandering around this time, completely distinct from the canon of the (let's face it, rather dire) films. Additionally, it's really pumped up the multiplayer focus, with loads of customisation and game modes.
Fall of Cybertron releases on August 21 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Thanks, EvilAvatar.

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing detailed a bit more at X10
Valve has reiterated some details at x10 tonight regarding its Left 4 Dead 2 add-on, The Passing, slated for release in early spring.
The Passing brings the original survivors down south for shoot-fest with the Left 4 Dead 2 crew, and will contain new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay.
It also includes new co-operative campaign, associated narrative and new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge modes, as well as a new co-operative challenge mode.
This was all announced back in December, so consider this a public service announcement from Valve to get you pumped for it.
Hopefully, it worked.
Assets are starting to trickle through from the event, so hopefully some will be released for The Passing as well.
Stick around.

Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays says Ford's redesigned subcompact is peppy and surprisingly powerful, though an uncomfortable cabin makes the Fiesta less fun.

(with Luis Jacob)
Wildflowers of Manitoba is a performance/film installation of pastoral visions, idyllic fantasies, and queer utopias. Housed in a geodesic dome furnished as a teenaged bedroom, the geometric frame swells with projected visions of a tribe of nude boy-folk exploring the Canadian Prairies near the shores of Lake Winnipeg at the Beaconia Research Station.
Their wanderings and homosocial activity animate a romantic vision of bliss, sensuality and a sexual return to the land. Staged for the camera, yet chasing spiritual transcendence, the set and subjects evoke the spirit of alternative collective lifestyles and Radical Faerie communes, with their spread-eagle experimental communitarianism, environmentalism, and sexual liberation.
The installation has toured the world with live performers living inside the dome. This documentation video is from the 5th Contour Video Biennale in Mechelen, Belgium, "Sound & Vision" curated by Anthony Kiendl.
Opening May 27, 2012 until Apr 1, 2013, Wildflowers of Manitoba can be viewed at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Mass. massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=663 Curated by Denise Markonish

Qui-Gon's Script Shack
Well, this has been a long time in coming, and this is not really how I thought I would get it started, but oh well here we go. This first post will be heavily edited, so for today we will just start with the basic idea of the thread.
The Premise
I like to dabble in things, modding wise. I am not especially talented in any of them, but I guess I like the challenge of scripting, so that is where I find myself most of the time when involving myself in Holowan-style activities.
There are some tutorials on scripting that are quite excellent, and I have some example oriented add-on tutorials half-written for some of the superb work of tk102 and stoffe. However, scripting can be a very dry or confusing subject, and so I have always wanted to have an area where I could work out loud on the scripts I am working on, and also share smart scripts that I find or make that might be helpful. It is hopefully also a place where I can learn a few things, from the masters as well as the rooks.
Also, this is a place to ask for help with a script! Please though, do me a little courtesy and don't just turn this into a script request thread - I am not that skilled, and I have better things to do. However, if you are confused by something, or are having a hard time working something out, or are just stuck - share what you have, and we can try to work through it together. If I can't get it, I will bother some of my scripting mentors enough that maybe they will post a clue!
As I said, this post will be edited a great deal. I am starting it right now because I feel guilty to be hijacking j7's tinkering's thread :p
That said, the first post for now shall contain the recent little script I am working on for Force Fashion K1. I think it is a useful template for giving specific items according to class, and anyone can use it - I don't expect a credit in your ReadMe (unless I actually make new scripts for ya o_Q ) so feel free to use and alter and *improve* at will!
This might be a handy script for many folks, so I am sharing it here as a generic script that you can cut & paste, with simple variable name substitution. This will spawn specific items in a container according to a PC's class.
// qg - to spawn class-specific clothing to a container
Happy Modding :thumbsup:
Credits: tk102, stoffe, beancounter, RedHawke, DarthStoney, bead-v, Varsity Puppet, Pavlos, Tupac Amaru and JdNoa - I learned it from watching you, ok?!?!?!!!
Holowan Scripting Tutorials -If you don't have a clue, start here. It will take a minute :p
The NWNLexicon -a deep resource that is not 100% kotor/TSL safe, but I mean a deep resource and forums and sample code and.......
DeadlyStream -Home to many of the best active KotOR scripters
The current script I am working on is related to an earlier script I did for j7 when we first were spawning his fantastic Sith Stalker skin. We had fun making a baby mini-mod out of it, with some basic cinematics.
The gist - this script will make folks "appear from nowhere" just uncloaking in your face... and I mean IN YOUR FACE, as they will attack you immediately.
The script will not do it all alone - your NPC would need to be spawned in however you chose and given the effect of invisibility (real easy, just add in EffectInvisibility(oYourNPC) to the spawn script), and then s/he or they (plural FTW :devsmoke:) would need a custom OnSpawn script allowing for perception to be opened. It is a simple cut&paste of the script k_def_spawn but with the "//" removed in front of the line for OnPerception events. Finally my handy script goes into the OnPerception slot of your .utc.
I post this script, for two reasons. One, I know it works and can be used to do several different jobs with just minor alteration. Two, I hope that someone that has used TimBob12's Populate Function will go ahead and use this custom UserDefined script for a .utc of your choice and populate the hell out of 'em. Then go ahead and warp into that area and it's a total free-for-all, but enemies will only appear as you near them.
The obvious test room would be the Rakatan Prison module.... Combining the two makes stealthy angry Mandalorians or Sith A.... Sneaky sith people :p appear wherever you go!
Custom OnSpawn:
//:: k_def_spawn01
// qg_ambush.nss
LOL! Awesome. I was just thinking of starting a thread last week that was "all" script questions but I decided that was a bad idea.
very cool.
Here's a fun script structure I use quite often.
The Cutscene Script!
The basic premise behind it is that for dialogs and cutscenes, there are multiple nodes where things are going on. Instead of creating a script for each one of these nodes, you can use the slots in the dialog to specify a script, and then input a script parameter to choose which section to use.
void main(){
[a_905sleep] [1] [ ] [ ] [ ] [________]
This would run case 1 from the script above.
Hope that was helpful.
^^ Why, yes.....yes it was.
Exactly the stuff we are looking for here! Thanks VP, I think that ultimately the second post will be a directory of the scripts made and contributed here, with a link to the specific post and code. This way, this can be a script depository, and save some searching "everywhere" by just searching here.
Just for clarity, is that a script that will run in either KotOR environment, or is it TSL specific?
TSL specific actually... Forgot to mention that.
I'll try to add any scripts I can think to add here. Most of them I just make up on the fly, but I always use this for the cutscenes.
Hmm, I suppose I could show how to make the generic onEnter script or maybe a trigger. I'll get around to it.
The generic OnEnter is covered in the tut's, more or less, but if you want to add something to the original tut, feel free. That was another intention of mine: bringing some of the tut's to life a little better by explaining smaller details the original author's left out :)
A trigger would be welcome ;)
I actually have a question, if you were to have a party of say: One custom party member and the other the player's choice and you wanted to have a script that relates to the player's choice party member is there a way to generalize the party member instead of having to make separate scripts for each one?
Well, I am not sure that I understand the question fully, without a little more background. What I think you are saying is that the non-custom party member you that is the PC's choice, you would like to be able to address this NPC generally? That is too simple I think to be what you are looking for, but the solution sure would be easy - say something generic!
If you are wanting to initiate a different dialog for each standard party member as the the PC choice, that can also be done in one script, although the script will be specific and not general regarding the party member NPC.
Looking through the Lexicon, I am finding some functions for identifying and acting on party members, but many of them are NWN specific and not available in KotOR scripting, or at least not K1. That is unimportant though, we can work around it.
So... I think I need a little more description Fallen!
Well this actually relates to the walking script that I posted in my scripting mishap thread. Basically, there is one party member in your party who is mandatory. The other party member is the PC's choice. Now, if I wanted to make a script that would make the PC's choice party member walk to a certain location would I have to make separate scripts for each of the possible party member scenarios or just one that identifies anyone traveling as a henchman of the PC?
@Fallen Guardian
If I understand your problem correctly, GetPartyMemberByIndex() is your help here. Function defines party member as object, but you don't have to give tag or anything, it'll work on whoever is party member at a time.
object oPC = GetPartyMemberByIndex(0);
Alright, thanks Zybl.
Ok Fallen, I am still not sure what the problem was with our earlier stuff, so forgive me for just cut & pasting it here. Perhaps you have figured out what the problem was with the door itself.
While zbyl2 has presented you with a solid means to skin the cat, and one that I was not aware existed :p (thanks zbyl2!), here is another way. This compiles fine, I think the logic works, and except for the original problem this should, with minor tweaking, work for you.
What I would like to ask the more knowledgable - how would I subroutine-ize the repeated portion of the code, so that I could just have the main script call it twice rather than having the text there for both instances of use? I know I would need to consolidate variables by making oParty (or oParty2, being arbitrary) be assigned to the regular (non-custom) party member. I had tried to do just that, but I am doing something wrong when I try to make subroutines... I think it has to do with where I am declaring my variables :compcry:
Anyway, here ya go!
void main()
void main()
Alright, I tried your script Zybl and still no luck. I have a script similar to this, except it only involves one person and it's another NPC. It has the NPC walk through a door that is opened a few seconds before he walks and it works fine, what do you think is going wrong with the script you posted?
EDIT: I seem to have many scripting troubles, anyway I have this script here:
void main()
What a cool idea, this is one to watch.
void main()
Alright it works now. Thanks.
:yoda: Pass on what you have learned...
In this thread, we have discussed Fallen Guardian's walking-through-doorway-dialog. We have worked out some things, although the door behavior to my understanding is less than perfect. I need to play-test and tweak it myself perhaps to see if I can suss it out... Anywho, troubleshooting is not the discussion of this post :D
I have been wanting to use "subroutines" in my code writing, but was not 100% sure how to implement them, having failed numerous times with close guesses and not-so-close ones, at how to accomplish this task properly. It mostly comes down to how you can pass variables between the "main" function and the "sub" function. What TimBob was able to show me was that what had been my goal was not wholly satisfied, yet potentially very useful.
For starters, I am going to borrow a portion of an excellent starter tutorial done by tk102 (one of many BTW), in this thread. Especially this part, and I quote tk102 without tags here solely for easier reading:
Function declaration
Parenthesis present, equals sign absent
object CreateItemOnObject(string sItemTemplate, object oTarget, int nStackSize);
void main()
void main()
void doorwalker(object iCustom, object iParty, object iDoor);
What I somehow missed was what it is I was actually making here... it is an #include file, if I chose to make it one. In this specific a case, I think it is a one-off, and the original code to many folk is actually simpler code, and works equivalently, so this is not necessarily the preferred means. It is however essential stuff for those of you who are trying to find new or better ways to skin a cannok. I only realized this though, when I read the following:
Anyways, I hope that some of you found this helpful, or at least interesting. I know that I learned a bit, thanks again to TimBob12 for taking the time to thoughtfully respond to my call!!
Thanks both of you.
No problem, I'm glad I could help. Perhaps I should make a tutorial on creating new functions.....
I might of said thank you prematurely. It still doesn't work, perhaps I should go about doing it another way. I'll try it a different way and get back to you.
^^^ It has got to be with how we are acting on the door, as the logic is sound otherwise. I will see if I can replicate it on the Endar Spire, as that is the only place I have saves for atm. Of course, I will need to do some coordinates.... arrggh.
Is the issue still with the door, or making the correct person do the action?
The door won't open when the script runs. The conversation where this script occurs is triggered when you click on the door, but that shouldn't interfere with anything.
Ok, I think that we will be able to get that taken care of, and we will learn something new from the process. Ain't learning fun :ugh:
Hahahahahhahahaha I should be able to get to it this weekend; gotta go spend the rest of the week with The Walking Dead.
Alright, thanks Glenn.
Hey Fallen and script curious... I think we are getting closer to your problem's solution, thanks to this thread in the Bioware NWN forums. Specifically, using AssignCommand-type commands on a door rather than on a PC/NPC seems to be the issue.
I will cook something up shortly, after checking the thread out more closely myself.
EDIT: The problem lies in this area:
AssignCommand(oCustom, ActionOpenDoor(oDoor));
Still no luck....I shall try another solution while you continue to seek out one. Thanks for all your help btw.
Okay, I've come here today to ask about another scripting woe of mine...Here seems to be something that has nothing wrong with it, yet calamity breaks loose when I attempt to use it:
void main()
danm50_foyerg's 1 and 2, danm50_secc, and danm50_doha all move to just infront of the door, rather than passing through it and continuing to their specified location. The other NPC's take 1-3 hesitant steps and then stop completely. I have no idea what's going on here, perhaps someone could shed some light?
Or it could be the door isn't fully open when they get to it. Try having it open after they start, but a lot sooner than you have it now, and see if that works - before you undertake the tedious process of editing the module. I also have a script lying around that opens a door when a creature gets close enough to it, which would rule out the need for a DelayCommand:
object oTarget = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_DOOR, OBJECT_SELF, 1);
SetCommandable, on the other hand, is only used to allow/disallow a creature to add things to their action menu - to attack another creature, to use or change items, to open doors, etc. Moving is just about the only thing one can do when this is set to false. And it wouldn't do anything in this situation, because the only commands are movements. Frankly you shouldn't use this function in any situation, ever, because it should always be set to true.
Yes, I know that was in October. No, I don't care. :xp:
Thanks JC, I fixed the problem using waypoints.
Glad that you are still working things out, Fallen Guardian :D
Thanks for your insight on the use of AssignCommand RE: doors.
I also thought that SetCommandable was not being used properly there, but never bothered to dig deeper.
I don't care that it was in October either, JCarter426 :D
Yeah, I've only seen SetCommandable used in certain combat scripts, and NPC exit scripts (so you can't talk to them as they're leaving).
EDIT: I managed to resolve my problem, but I guess some of you might be interested in the script anyway, so here you go:
void main() {
My problem was that one NPC seemed to be excluded 95% of the time, which I resolved by using GetNearestObjectByTag rather than GetObjectByTag, which is screwy... clearly why GetNearestObjectByTag exists. However, GetObjectByTag does recognize 0, and inputting 0 doesn't immediately crash the game. So there's that.
I know this is a little of topic but
void main() {
object oPC=GetFirstPC();
I want to make my character into a Jedi Sentinel but the AddMultiClass wont compile. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks.
First, you don't need to add any XP. Adding a class automatically gives you enough to level up. Second, you've misspelled "multiclass" as "mutliclass". Don't feel bad, I did the same thing in my dialogue file when I was working on this. :p Third, CreateItemOnObject won't make you equip it, if that's what you want - although you couldn't equip it anyway until you actually level up, because you don't have the right feats.
Yeah, while GetObjectByTag is supposed to be able to get the next nearest object and so on, it doesn't really seem to work. Sometimes the nearest creature to me would be excluded, which makes no sense because it should be the very first to be turned... and sometimes the creature furthest from me would be excluded, and sometimes someone in between. I suspect it might have more to do with the object's current location within the module. In any case, GetNearestObjectByTag works just like you'd think it does. Since this worked out perfectly, I've gone back and edited some of my older scripts to incorporate a few cool things, like destroying all objects of a certain tag - without the need to input the tag, if you don't know it.
I do, however, have another problem. Not so much as a problem as a frustration, actually. I don't think there are script functions that can achieve what I really want. I'd like to duplicate a party member but somehow change their dialogue file so I give them new dialogue without having to edit the original, but I can't think of any way to do this without editing the OnDialogue script, which of course I also don't want to do. Failing that, I considered making my own UTCs and copying the party member stats... but there's no way to do that apart from going over every single possibility one at a time, and even then there doesn't seem to be a way to duplicate some information, such as character level. One last thing I have considered is a usable item that will start a dialogue with the nearest creature, ignoring its natural dialogue entirely. But I'm not sure even that will get me what I want, because I think I might have to give them a new heartbeat script too.
So, any ideas would be most appreciated - or just thoughts on which of these would be the most ideal solution.

Hint: The circuit is a twin-T notch filter (that is, a band-stop
or band-reject filter). It is called this because there are two
T-circuits in parallel, one formed by the
R-2C-C elements (a low-pass filter), and one formed by the C-R/2-C elements
(a high-pass filter). You may convert to its equivalent pi-circuit, each of the impendance of the equivalent pi-circuit will be in parallel with its corresponding impendance in the other equivalent pi-circuit.
fc = 1/2pi x 1/RC
For this circuit, you will:
Develop an analytical solution for |V2/V1| as a function of the frequency, f.
V2 is the output voltage, and V1 is the input voltage. Your analytical expression
should be in the form of |V2/V1| = (s^2+w0^2)/[s^2+(w0/Q)s +wo^2]
Where s = jw and wo = 1/RC
R = 2 MegOhm
C =1350 pF.

Elimination Disorders and Encopresis in Children
In this article
What Are Elimination Disorders?
Elimination disorders occur in children who have problems going to the bathroom -- both defecating and urinating. Although it is not uncommon for young children to have occasional "accidents," there may be a problem if this behavior occurs repeatedly for longer than three months, particularly in children older than 5 years.
There are two types of elimination disorders, encopresis and enuresis.
- Encopresis is the repeated passing of feces into places other than the toilet, such as in underwear or on the floor. This behavior may or may not be done on purpose.
- Enuresis is the repeated passing of urine in places other than the toilet. Enuresis that occurs at night, or bed-wetting, is the most common type of elimination disorder. As with encopresis, this behavior may or may not be done on purpose.
What Are the Symptoms of Encopresis?
In addition to defecating in improper places, a child with encopresis may have other symptoms, including:
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Loose, watery stools (bowel movements)
- Scratching or rubbing the anal area due to irritation from watery stools
- Decreased interest in physical activity
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Secretive behavior associated with bowel movements
What Causes Encopresis?
The most common cause of encopresis is chronic (long-term) constipation, the inability to release stools from the bowel. This may occur for several reasons, including stress, not drinking enough water (which makes the stools hard and difficult to pass), and pain caused by a sore in or near the anus.
When a child is constipated, a large mass of feces develops, which stretches the rectum. This stretching dulls the nerve endings in the rectum, and the child may not feel the need to go to the bathroom or know that waste is coming out. The mass of feces also can become impacted -- too large or too hard to pass without pain. Eventually, the muscles that keep stool in the rectum can no longer hold it back. Although the large, hard mass of feces cannot pass, loose or liquid stool may leak around the impacted mass and onto the child's clothing.

One of the recent callers pointed out that the reason that Bush had placed a wreath on Martin Luther King's grave was so that part of his trip to Atlanta could be charged as presidential business. You are right, but you have to remember that he had eight years of teaching from Bill Clinton, only Clinton traveled all over the world for those same reasons.

Golf doesn't have tobealldoneupto be a challenge, and that's what you get at Deer Creek Golf Course in Hubbard, and especially with its 195-yard No. 12.
The LaCivita family course has a testy offering in this par 3 as the hole rides along a ridge that, as you get to the green, is only 30 or so yards wide. Everywhere else, there is fall-off that will not let you see the cup — just the flag.
The left side drop is most nasty, topped off with a new bunker that wraps two-thirds of the side of the green. The back side is unfun as well, with trees and wetlands backstopping the hole.
Even the green has some deft crowning on the right side that pushes away balls.
Straight is rewarded here; don't spray.

Adidas, Blackstone Said Among Bidders for Fortune's Golf Unit
Adidas AG and Blackstone Group LP are among the companies vying for Fortune Brands Inc.'s golf division, said four people with knowledge of the matter.
Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd., the owner of the Srixon golf ball line, also may submit a bid, said one of the people, who declined to be identified because the process is private. Offers are due May 9, and Fortune may negotiate with multiple parties in the coming weeks, another person said.
Fortune's sporting-goods business, which makes the top-selling Titleist ball brand and FootJoy golf shoes, generated more than $1.2 billion in sales last year. Potential buyer Adidas yesterday posted a 26 percent sales gain in its golf unit, fueled by the success of the new TaylorMade R11 club.
''Adidas is a more likely buyer than Nike or any other sporting-goods maker as it has the money and wants to grow its golf business,'' said Peter Steiner, an amateur player and analyst at BHF Bank in Frankfurt. He has an "overweight" rating on Adidas.
Clarkson Hine, a spokesman for Deerfield, Illinois-based Fortune, declined to comment on the process, as did Adidas spokeswoman Katja Schreiber and Blackstone's Peter Rose. The Financial Times reported the potential bidders earlier.
Fortune, led by Chief Executive Officer Bruce Carbonari, began planning to dismantle itself after activist William Ackman became the largest shareholder. Fortune intends to spin off its home and security division and focus on distilled spirits, such as Sauza tequila and Jim Beam bourbon. The home unit, whose products include Moen faucets and Master Lock padlocks, accounted for $3.23 billion in sales in 2010, compared with $2.67 billion for spirits.
Stock Performance
The shares rose 33 cents to $63.83 at 3:54 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares had gained 5.4 percent this year before today.
Buying Fortune's golf unit would allow Japan's Sumitomo to expand its own sporting-goods business, which includes tennis balls and Srixon. The company also manufactures automobile and motorcycle tires and industrial rubber products. Calls to Sumitomo's U.S. offices weren't immediately returned.
Fortune is making "significant progress" on a spinoff of the home-products unit, to be called Fortune Brands Home & Security, Carbonari said on a conference call yesterday to discuss quarterly results.
The company said then that first-quarter profit, excluding items such as restructuring costs, rose to 59 cents a share, topping the 51-cent average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Total sales advanced 8.1 percent to $1.76 billion, led by growth in the spirits business.
Sum of Parts
Fortune has an enterprise value of $13.3 billion, which includes items such as debt. The sports-equipment business alone was worth $1.2 billion as of May 3, according to Doug Lane, an analyst with Jefferies & Co. in New York. The spirits business, anchored by its bourbon brands, could be worth $8.6 billion, while the home and security unit may be worth $3.9 billion, according to Lane.
Fortune's history extends back to the 1864 founding of its predecessor by North Carolina farmer Washington Duke, according to Hoover's Inc. The company expanded into home products in the 1980s and added seven liquor brands from Seagram in 1991. It has owned the Jim Beam distillery since the 1960s and exited tobacco in the 1990s.

The jihadist group led by Algerian Mokhtar Belmokhtar that claimed twin suicide car bombings in Niger which killed at least 20 people threatened on Friday to launch further attacks in the country.
"We will launch further operations" in Niger, the group said in a statement posted on Islamist Internet forums that also threatened France and countries involved militarily in battling Islamist extremists in neighbouring Mali.
Belmokhtar's group, the "Signatories in Blood", said in the statement that Thursday's attacks were its "first response to the statement of the president of Niger (Mahamadou Issoufou), from his masters in Paris that he had crushed the jihad and mujahedeen militarily" in the region.
The group threatened more attacks and even to "bring the fight to the interior of his country unless he withdraws his mercenary army" from Mali.
"We thank God that France only won a propaganda victory with its Crusader war on the rule of sharia (Islamic law)," the group added, saying that its withdrawal from towns in northern Mali during the French intervention "was a military choice imposed by the the circumstances of war and our desire to preserve the blood of Muslims".
France "is trying to flee to leave mercenary armies in its place," the group said in reference to the progressive withdrawal of French forces and their replacement by troops from African countries.
"We warn all countries intending to take part in the Crusader campaign in our land, even in the name of peacekeeping, that we will make you taste the heat of death and wounds in your homes and among your soldiers," the group added.
The group warned that "columns of commandos and those seeking martyrdom are ready and waiting for their targets."
On Thursday, a spokesman for Belmokhtar said the Algerian jihadist commander had "supervised" the suicide bombings that targeted the Nigerien army and a uranium mine in northern Arlit that is majority-owned by France's Areva, Mauritanian news agency Al-Akhbar reported.
El-Hassen Ould Khalil, spokesman for Belmokhtar's group, said the near-simultaneous bombings "targeted elite French forces" who were providing security at the uranium mine.
"More than 10 fighters took part in these attacks," the spokesman told the press agency, adding that they were jointly led with the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa.
MUJAO, one of the extremist groups that seized control of northern Mali last year before being pushed out by French-led troops, had earlier claimed the bombings.
The attacks in Niger on Thursday came four months after Belmokhtar's group, which is linked to Al-Qaeda, seized a desert gas plant in neighbouring Algeria in a siege that left 38 hostages dead, also in retaliation for the intervention in Mali.

LCB Encourages Liquor Sales For Mother's Day
Just in time for Mother's Day, Pennsylvania's liquor agency has been airing radio ads encouraging consumers to buy bargain-priced vodka from the state's wine and spirits stores. Critics say the ads are in bad taste. An agency official defended the promotion, telling the Philadelphia Inquirer that it's intended to "enhance this wonderful celebration."
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Our last word in business today comes from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. It's drink up mom.
With Mother's Day coming up, the state's liquor agency has been airing radio ads encouraging consumers to buy bargain-priced vodka from the state's wine and spirits stores. Treat her to the perfect Mother's Day cocktail this year, the voice says. It offers a recipe for a drink called Mother's Kiss. The agency is also promoting wine, not just vodka.
Still, critics say the ads are in bad taste - or maybe just leave a bad taste. An official with the Liquor Control Board defended the promotion, telling the Philadelphia Inquirer the ads are intended to quote, "enhance the wonderful celebration."

shame on me, I've lived in Florida for 30 years now and this is the first Hiaasen book I have read, it will NOT be my last. super enjoyable. any time you think this is outrageous or over the top, know from someone who lives here that every character rang true. Not one false note. Lots of laughing out loud. THANK YOU
When searching for early Carl Hiaasen novels, I noticed that his earlier publications were co-authored. Tourist Season seemed to be his first solo effort. The first couple of chapters were a little disjointed, but it didn't take time for Mr. Hiaasen to find his stride. It reminded me of early Janet Evanovich. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading another of his early novels, until I work my way to his more current works.
My first Hiassen novel and I will read more of his work. This one was a decent first effort, but was not as strong as the works of others. The book starts out a little jumbled and several characters seem to be introduced too quickly. For the majority of the book, the story moves quickly, has several twists and holds one's interest. By the end, however, we're back to a slower pace, bogging down in places and offering a less than satisfactory conclusion. It is a good book, but not at all great!
As per usual, Hiaasen gives a funny and enjoyable read!
6/20/13 Was incredibly funny at times, then just downright violent at others. Towards the middle it just became repititous.
Frankly I was bored with this novel for the first four chapters. Eventually I started to understand the story line and it became a can't put down type of novel. The main idea of the novel is that tourists and those who go from tourist to homeowners can inspire real estate people to wreck havoc on the environment as they try to make a fast buck. The villians in this novel are basically people who want to protect nature from those who want to destroy it. Their solutions, are what makes this an interesting book. Who are the real villians in this story might make you expend some extra brain power, but it is worth the effort.
I've become a fan of Hiassen and this is the 4th book I read by him. It wasn't my favorite, but still a good read overall. If you like this, I recommend his other works.
I've been a fan of Carl's for a long time and I have read most of his books. For fast easy fun reading he is, in my opinion, the best. The plots were always imaginative if not always plausible. In addition, there never was calousness or cruelty except maybe towards a really bad guy who richly deserved it. This book, which apparently was written early in his career, has a plot requiring incomphensible behavior by the characters and contains mindless cruety to innocent people and animals. I suppose every author has a bad book or two in him so let us hope this is Carl's only one.
When reading the other reviews the word DARK and FUNNY were used many times. That describes this book. I really do not like to read DARK Humor and so I can't recommend the book to everyone. If you do like something along those lines this book would meet your needs. Just like a previous review this would be a good book for those who want to get to know the characters. This would be the book to read first. I am a huge fan of Robert Parker's Spencer Series. This book did not thrill me as much as the Spencer Series.

IDEO founder David Kelley is the subject of a profile in this week's "60 Minutes." Interestingly, the profile is nearly as much about Steve Jobs as it is about Kelley himself.

Another new design for Sevenly, this time partnering with Polaris Project in an aim to stop human trafficking. I went a bit outside my comfort zone on this and actually did some illustration for the first time. I'm hoping to include more of these aesthetics in my designs moving forward, it was a fun challenge.
As usual, give it a look with 2X!
