Econometrics of Qualitative Dependent Variables by Christian Gourieroux
Book DescriptionThis textbook introduces students progressively to various aspects of qualitative models and assumes a knowledge of basic principles of statistics and econometrics. Inferring qualitative characteristics of data on socioeconomic class, education, employment status, and the like - given their discrete nature - requires an entirely different set of tools from those applied to purely quantitative data. Written in accessible language and offering cogent examples, students are given valuable means to gauge real-world economic phenomena. After the introduction, early chapters present models with endogenous qualitative variables, examining dichotomous models, model specification, estimation methods, descriptive usage, and qualitative panel data. Professor Gourieroux also looks at Tobit models, in which the exogenous variable is sometimes qualitative and sometimes quantitative, and changing-regime models, in which the dependent variable is qualitative but expressed in quantitative terms. The final two chapters describe models which explain variables assumed by discrete or continuous positive variables.

"I have never done the personalized card thing before, so I was not sure what to expect. The prints were gorgeous! Thank you, I wish I had ordered more than 15. I will be using tiny prints again and again."
"I love the quality of the paper and printing. Nice weight to the card. Family and Friends enjoyed receiving our Christmas card."
"This card came in a couple color options which I thought was great to correspond with the picture I picked. The quality of this paper was exactly what I expected it was thick like card stock and not like a photo which I enjoyed so it didn't bend. I was also able to write nicely on the back without it showing or making engravement type markings on the front side. The picture came out great and was not distorted or different color quality than the original which was my worry when ordering. I am so happy with this product."
"beautiful design, card, quality and of course customer service. I got my cards even more quickly than I expected when I expedited them and they are lovely! The "glitter" on the back looks more like shimmering sand which I loved."
"Loved the color; loved the 2nd photo on the back; had many compliments from those that received my card. Good quality paper and printing! Used the rectangle envelope to avoid using extra postage. Will use tinyprints again next year!"

Crosstown revival
UCLA finally has the right man to take back L.A. in head coach Jim Mora
ON DEC. 31, 2011, I spoke to Jim Mora at the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and then watched UCLA lose to Illinois 20-14. The Bruins looked pitiful offensively, gaining 219 total yards, 18 on the ground. Mora was only a spectator, having been hired just three weeks earlier to resurrect a program nearing rock bottom.
That day at AT&T Park in San Francisco, the former coach of the Falcons and Seahawks made his priorities clear: Turn the Bruins into a tougher team, mentally and physically, and find an offensive coordinator to build an up-tempo system that can compete in the high-scoring Pac-12. And while he didn't specifically say "beat SC," I've been around the conference long enough to know that it was understood.

Clos Pissarra Aristan Montsant 2009
Clos Pissarra - Cataluna - Spain - Montsant
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
For thousands of years, Spain's beautiful wine region of Catalunya has been a powerful center of wine production, with much archaeological evidence to suggest that quality vines were being cultivated in the fine Catalan soils many hundreds of years before even the first Roman settlers arrived. The wonderful coastal Mediterranean climate of the region creates an ideal environment for viticulture, and the excellent conditions are improved further by the mineral rich soils which cover much of the region's valleys and hillsides. As a result, the bodegas and wineries which operate in Catalunya are able to grow a wide variety of imported and native grape varietals, and are able to produce their famous sparkling Cava wines in large quantities, alongside the many still red and white wine bottles which are brought out each year to critical acclaim.
For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.

Long Island Cheese - when to harvest
I posted this same message in the Vegetable Forum before I realized there was this specialized one. We are growing Long Island Cheese baking pumpkins for the first time. Our first and largest fruit turned mushy on the vine after a few days of appearing ripe. I harvested the next four when they had a slight tinge of green on one side, and they appear to be curing fine. I have several more still on the vines. What's the best time to harvest this pumpkin?
With this and most other squash of the c. moschata family, they are best harvested after the rind turns hard, so that one cannot puncture it with one's thumbnail. Normally folks leave this one on the vine until the fruit has turned a nice buff color.
The squash that rotted had something the matter with it. It's not because it became over ripe. Long Island Cheese should last for months at normal ambient temperatures.
Though I don't grow Long Island Cheese, I do grow a couple of c. moschata varieties which are similar. I prefer to leave mine on the vine for a month after they test ripe, unless they are threatened with a hard frost.
Tahlequah, OK
Hi George,
I'm not the OP but your answer came in really handy! Thanks!! I grow the C. moshata also with pretty good results and always wondered when was the proper time to pick. Growing Rumbo this year first time and just knowing that I can leave these beautiful specimen on the vine for a month without any harm is great news!!

Introduction Welcome to Enter the Matrix. For the unknowing, which isn't likely, this game is a direct tie-in with the film The Matrix: Reloaded. The two main characters are Ghost and Niobe, crew members aboard the Logos. They feature in the movie, but not heavily, and this game was made and directed by the Wachowski brothers in an attempt to extend the world of the Matrix beyond the film, by showing you these two characters stories. A whole bunch of extra filming was done especially for this game, it's probably one of the most well thought out movie tie-in games I've seen, so enjoy! =============================================================================== iv.

Flaming of any sort will be ignored. Questions are welcome, and please tell me if you think I've missed anything, I'd like my FAQ to be as comprehensive as possible, although obviously at this early stage I know I'm missing quite a bit. =============================================================================== v. A Timeline of the Matrix Please note this section contains major spoilers of the game, the movies and the Animatrix, so only read if you've seen them all or you don't care at all. I will provide references to certain Matrix related things as I explain the timeline. [The Second Renaissance Parts I & II] Originally there was man, and everything was fine in the world. Eventually we made robots, and eventually it was the case that men didn't need to work, because robots did everything for them. That is until one day, a robot, B166ER, rose against his masters and killed them. He is destroyed, and orders are made to destroy every robot in the world. Those that lived managed to seek refuse, and created their own country, 01. In this country they prospered, and started up their own industries in AI, and their worth grew and grew as humans came to rely on their goods. But world leaders refused to co-operate with them and tried to isolate 01. 01 sent delegates to try and make 01 a part of the United Nations, but they were refused and killed. Man began to attack 01 with atomic bombs, but the robots were not affected by them and their troops attacked nearby countries. Man was losing ground, and they came up with a desparate plan to stop the robots, operation 'Dark Storm'. They were to cover the sky with a thick black smoke that would cut off the machines from their main source of energy, the Sun. Evidently this didn't work and in the war that followed, man lost terribly, as the machines had learnt man's weakness and how they could be killed. Having been denied of the Sun, the machines adapted, and set to work on turning humans into their new energy source. Having done so it appears the first Matrix was created by the Architect as a way to keep humans controlled, so their power could be efficiently harvested. The Matrix was created to be a perfect world where the minds of the humans would be able to live in harmony without ever knowing the truth. But the Matrix would fail and fail, and the Architect didn't know why. Not until the Oracle provided her help was the Matrix made properly. The Architect was too perfect a program to realise that choice was the missing element. Without choice, even at a subconscious level, the human mind could not cope, and the Oracle provided a way of making choice an option. And so the first Matrix was created where 99% of the humans within it would accept it. The remaining 1% were able to break free, and form Zion, a city deep beneath the the surface of the real world, away from the machines. Technology was built and the free minds learnt how to jack into the Matrix at will, and were able to free more minds. However the Matrix is in a cycle and at the end of every cycle, Zion is destroyed, and a few chosen to rebuild it from scratch. It is during the sixth cycle that the events of the movies take place. A man named Thomas Anderson, with the hacker alias of Neo, has been searching for a world famous 'terrorist' name Morpheus for over two years. He has a question and he wants an answer, and Morpheus is the man to tell him. After a brief but painful encounter with three Agents, Neo gets to meet Morpheus and find out for himself what the Matrix really is. Apparently Morpheus is just as happy to see him, for he believes Neo is The One. After meeting the Oracle Neo is told he isn't the One, but you never know....So Cipher betrays the lot of em, kills off some non-important characters, and the Agents get Morpheus. Neo won't let him die and sets out to save him with Trinity, which he does. However Neo gets killed by Agent Smith, until the love of Trinity resurrects him, and he becomes The One, destroying Agent Smith in the process, and all is happy. [Final Flight of the Osiris] If you've seen this, you'll see that the crew of the Osiris discover about the machines digging, and a female member of the crew makes an emergency drop within the Matrix, just before the ship is destroyed and they are all killed. This is where the game and Reloaded begin, and their plots weave about each other. The drop is picked up by Niobe and Ghost and thus everyone finds out about the digging. A lot of stuff happens, including one of the Smiths taking over the body of Bane within the real world, but naturally it works out that Neo has to save the day. He enters the Source, and meets the Architect, where he finds out the Matrix loops and he is the sixth one, and he will have to choose people to rebuild Zion. Neo doesn't accept this, and takes the door that leads to the supposed destruction of mankind. He saves Trinity's life, and back in the real world uses some kind of power to take down some Sentinels, sending him into a coma. The film ends on Neo laid on a stretcher, back to back with Bane/Smith. As for now, we have to wait until November to find out what happens, and maybe the story will continue in the Matrix Online in 2004. Apologies for the not so great timeline, once I've had a chance to see Reloaded again I'll redo it. =============================================================================== 1. Controls There's a lot to get to grips with here, the game makes use of all the buttons except L3 and R3, however it's not as complicated as you'd think once you're used to it. All of these controls can be viewed by pausing the game and going to the 'Controls' option, but they're all here anyways, just in case. Also, as you work your way through the game you will obtain a bunch of 'Tips', which can all be viewed by pausing the game and going to the Tips option. In there is some useful knowledge you might not have known, but can come in handy. -- When Walking/Running/Shooting left analog stick: General movement in all directions. Walk towards an obstacle to push your back against it. If the obstacle is low you will automatically duck. Also, when in first-person mode you can look around using it. right analog stick: Enter or exit first-person mode right directional button: Quick-select primary weapon left directional button: Quick-select secondary weapon square: Action button. Use to open doors, push buttons, holster your weapon and strangle your opponent from behind. traingle: Press and hold to throw your secondary weapon. It will be thrown at an enemy if you have them targeted. X: Jump. You can run and jump and automatically grab an edge. You can also jump and auto-cling to a ladder. Focus while jumping will allow you to perform a large gap covering jump. (similar to Morpheus in the first movie) L1: Focus button. Hold down to stay focused and it will provide you with greater abilities. R1: Draw primary weapon, and then fire primary weapon. R2/L2: Strafe right or left. Pressure sensitive. select: Brings up a weapon selection menu. Not really needed with quick-select. start: Pause button. Use to access pause game menus, and press again to unpause. Kinda obvious. Strafe towards a corner when backed against a wall to peer around corners. Use R1 to lean out and fire. Jump out from behind a corner with X. Strafe and then jump while focused to perform a sideways cartwheel. Focus and run at a wall at an angle to wall run, and run at one perpendicular to it to backflip off of the wall. You can focus and dive forwards or backwards while being shot at. -- Sniper Mode right analog stick: Enter/exit sniper mode when your sniper gun is equipped. left analog stick: Aim your weapon. square: Zoom in. X: Zoom out. Note that when in sniper mode, pressing down moves the crosshairs up, and vice versa. -- Hand-to-Hand Combat square: Defend/block/counter. triangle: Punch. circle: Kick. circle+triangle: Throw. right analog stick: Exit fighting stance. Use variations of circle and triangle to perform different combos. When focused more moves will become available, including the ability to use a wall within a combo. -- Driving: Niobe (Driver) left analog stick/d-pad: Steer left/right. right analog stick: Accelerate and brake. X: Accelerate. square: Brake. R1: Handbrake. R2: Look right. L2: Look left. R2+L2: Look behind. triangle: View change. L1: Press and hold to have Ghost fire at any enemies. -- Driving: Ghost (Rides shotgun) left analog stick: Aim weapon. R1: Fire weapon. -- Hovercraft Flying: Niobe (Pilot) left analog stick: Steer left/right/up/down. right analog stick: Accelerate and brake. R1: Fire forward cannon. X: Accelerate square: Brake. -- Hovercraft Flying: Ghost (Gunner) left analog stick: Aim R1 or X: Fire cannon L1 or square: Change the view between rear and front facing. -- Here are some things to be aware of when playing. Your focus meter doesn't last forever, so be careful. However, it will recharge over time, and you'll gain a few extra percent every time you kill an enemy. Your health also recuperates with time, but if you're lucky you'll find a first aid kit on the floor. Just run over it to go back up to 100% health. The same goes for weapons, pick them up by running over them, assuming you have the room for them. Focus when you shoot and not only can you deal more damage in less time, you will be more accurate, which is especially useful for picking off enemies from a distance. Focusing opens up many more abilities to your character too, and in some cases is the only way to defeat an opponent or get out of a tight situation. =============================================================================== 2. Ghosts Missions a. The Post Office Here is where you'll start the game. You need to acquire an emergency drop made by the crew of the Osiris from the post office. Sparks thinks it's suicide but that won't stop Niobe. Once you reach the post office Ghost heads in and the game begins. i. Closing Time Use this time to acquaint yourself with movement and the likes, try not to pull out your guns otherwise you'll be attacked. Try out focusing and running up walls. From where you start, head right until a cutscene kicks in, you'll find out the PO box you're after is upstairs. Head towards the lift opposite the entrance and press square. You'll find the lift isn't working in another cutscene, but there's a freight elevator you can use instead. Head through the door right next to you, and then through the door in the next room. Once inside, head forward, turn right and head down the corridor before turning right again. Go down this corridor, turn right and there should be a door on your left about a third of the way down. Head through this room and up some steps, through the door, up more steps and another door and then yet another set of steps and a door. Open it and you'll be able to save. ii. Epicenter You start on some metal grating. Head down the stairs until you reach the floor, and take out any guards there. Run towards the fencing ahead of you, and you'll automatically climb it. Now turn right and head through the sorting room. Turn left once you're through that and you should see the elevator. Take out any guards and hop in. A cut scene starts in the elevator, apparently Sparks thinks it's a trap, and not to go up, but it's too late, you're already there. Save. iii. Unexpected Arrival As soon as you can, take out the four or five guards waiting for you, use focus and shoot to take them out so quick they don't have a chance. Head round the corner, avoid the forklift truck and take out some more guards. Follow the route around, taking out the guards as necessary until you trigger a cutscene. Tear gas forces you to seek out some heights, and the cutscene points you towards you way out. From where you restart, head forwards, focus jump across to the other pipe, and run along it, until you reach the skylight. Fall through it. If you fall off at any point, head back to where you started and there should be a forklift you can use to climb upon. Be quick though, your health will drop if you stay on the ground. Save again. iv. Redirected Head through the door in front of you and take out the guards. Pass through the doorframe into a large open area. As you pass by the large chainlink fence guards will start shooting at you, ignore them and run away from them and around a corner, and you should see a door in the far right of the area. Head towards it and a cutscene is triggered, Sparks will give you more directions. Continue on from the door towards a big fence. You can't climb it but there's a room nearby. Run towards a window and press O to kick your way through it. Head towards and then through the path littered with high stacks of boxes, and some guards too. Automatically duck under the shutter in front of you, and open the door. In this room, look on your left for a large window with some guards on the other side. Kick your way through it, take them down, and search for a door that should be on the left side of the room. Open it, head through the storeroom and open another door, and you'll find yourself in a control room of sorts. Press the red button on the console behind the workers, and head towards the door furthest away from them, behind the one you came in. Open it, and then the door just inside the room you enter, and then you can save again. v. Backtracking Head downstairs, taking the guard out at the bottom. Open the door, turn left and you'll be out in the sorting rooms again. It's a bit of a maze here, but you should try and head as straight as possible, until you see the freight elevator again. Turn left before you reach it, and go to the fence you climbed at the beginning of Epicenter. Climb it again, and head for the door. In open spaces like these it's useful to Focus Dive towards your opponent while shooting. Do this by pressing up, hold down Focus and jump, shooting all the while. Very useful. Take out the guards here and open the door. Save. vi. Got It! This area should look familiar, it's where you first started. Take out any guards you meet and look for the now working, ready and waiting lift. Hop in. On the second floor are loads of PO boxes, the one's you're after will have a little plaque above them with numbers near the one you need. You'll find them about as far away from the lift as possible, in the far left corner of the room. A cutscene will kick in, Ghost grabs the disk, but gets tear gassed again. Luckily Niobe helps out with a few bursts from her shotgun, but now you need to reach the lift. Take out the police as per usual and head for the lift. As far as I can see you can't make it arrive any faster, so just wait while keeping an eye out for more cops. Once downstairs you'll find the hall empty, but try and leave and you'll get locked in, and the police will pour into the room. Take them all out, it's easy, just keep moving and keep firing. Once you're alone again, go through the door next to the lift, and follow exactly the same route you took last time, up the stairs and through the doors until you can save again. Do so. vii. Big Distraction Sparks idea of a big distraction ruins your obvious escape route, so jump down from the grating you're on, and head for the fiery debris. There's only one route you can follow, although it may not look the case, so just follow it around the remains of the sorting room, taking out all the guards you meet along the way, which shouldn't be a problem, just focus and shoot, pick up any ammo, then focus and shoot the next lot of guards. Finally you'll reach a door so enter, head up the stairs and open the door. Save time again. viii. Breakout! Run like mad throughout this, there are a lot of guards, and they keep respawning it seems. You're back in the control room, so run the length of it and do a quick 180 to open the other door in the room. Pass through the store room and out into the offices again. Do another 180 once you're out there and you should see a door. Head towards it to trigger another cutscene. After Ghost's impressive escape, Niobe picks you up in the Firebird and it's time to save again. b. City Driving This is the first driving mission of the game, and as Ghost, you'll be in charge of the gun. R1 to shoot, and you never need let go, infinite ammo for this. i. Get to the Hard Line This is a pretty easy level, the AI will cover the driving, all you need to do is target any cop cars that get near you, and destroy them with your nifty machine gun. You shouldn't lose much health at all, just keep destroying cop cars. One you hit the bridge you're home and dry. A cutscene starts, and Niobe crashes the car after some nifty driving. Sparks tells you where the hard line is, but as you escape on the roof to find it, an Agent appears...Save! c. City Rooftops Barely a mission at all, but it's your first encounter with an Agent, which makes up for it I guess. i. Answer the Phone The first part of this is simple, just head straight. Climb up ladders, jump a small gap, easy stuff. But then a cutscene kicks in and Ghost gets a helping hand opening the door, and a smack to the face no less from an Agent. Time to run away! If you keep moving the Agent will barely harm you, but it's not as simple an escape as you might think. From the start head straight on, and focus jump towards the ladder, climb up it. Head around the big hole and focus jump some more across a large gap. Then focus jump again to reach a ladder. From here's there only the obvious route. Just keep moving and eventually you will end up back where you started, this time with no Agent. And so begins a looong cutscene. You find out the details of the final flight of the Osiris, and the fact is they've discovered a huge army of machines. Commander Lock thanks Niobe, and Niobe decides to arrange a meeting within the Matrix for all the captains, so they head to the airport where they can use all the different payphones without being traced. d. The Airport Niobe and Ghost are busy making phone calls, but suddenly Niobe gets a call from a crewmember of another ship. His fellow cremember Axel has been taken by the Agents, and they've got his captain, Soren, backed into a corner. Niobe decides to go and retreive Axel, while Ghost has to find Soren. i. Concourse Now to begin with the security guards won't know you're a problem, but that won't last long. As soon as you turn the corner and pass through the metal detectors things will pick up again. Kill any guards that try and stop you and run towards the concourse. Kill about three or four more guards, head to the other end, and you'll have to turn left into the unblocked corridor. Pass through the two sets of toilets, taking out some armoured cops along the way and you should find yourself on another concourse. Deal with yet more cops and again head down the concourse, taking the only unblocked corridor on your left. Follow it around a corner, open the door and it's save time. ii. North Point Once loaded, you'll see that in the room adjoined to the one you're in are a group of three guards, unarmed for now. If you have any flash-bangs, you could use them here, if not, just go in focused, all guns blazing, hehe. Take them out, and then pick up the stun grenades in the far right corner of this room. If you're having problems selecting them, press select and use that weapons screen to choose them. Now look to right of the room, closest to the door you entered through. There will be a dark corridor with two windows at the end of it. Throw a stun grenade down there to blow up the windows, then jump through back out onto a concourse. There'll be four guards to deal with, but just focus, dive and shoot and they'll be finished. Head to the end of the concourse and follow the route around onto the next bit. You'll see a helicopter flying past outside. Keep moving forwards and four armoured cops will attack, two jumping through a window. Inside the room they jump through are some flash-bangs, which can be useful. Kill them, and move ahead, through a doorway into the next area. Get about halfway in and you'll be asked to save again. I suggest you do, next is your first boss... iii. North Point 2 Try and get near the exit of this room and it'll lockdown, and you'll be stuck here. Not long after a helicopter will make a sweep of the room, firing a machine gun at you which will kill you very quickly if you don't escape it. The copters energy bar will appear along the top of the screen, keep an eye on it. Now just before the helicopter is about sweep from right to left, hide behind the wall on the right of the room, the helicopter won't be able to hit you at all. As soon as he stops firing run from your cover and unload as much lead as you can into it, you should be able to take down about half of his energy. After that four SWAT members will drop down through the roof, just focus as soon as you can see them and shoot away, you can take em down pretty quickly, and use their weapons on the copter afterwards. Quickly hide behind the same wall again, wait for the copter to stop firing, shoot at it some more and that should be enough to destroy it. If not, just repeat those steps until it goes down. This way you shouldn't lose any health whatsoever. As soon as it goes down more guards will attack you. Take them down as normal and move through the now unlocked door into the next bit of concourse. Keep moving and you'll enter a store. Take out any more guards that get in your way and head up the stairs on your left. Save. iv. Monorail Run up the stairs, and if you look right a gate will block the first path, try and head down the second and it'll tell you to use the first path. Confused? Just run down the other stairs opposite the ones you came up, and then head back to the first path, the gate should now be unlocked, and some SWAT members waiting to take you out (and fail miserably). The rest is simple. Go allll the way down the corridor, taking out any guards that stop you. Eventually you'll reach the resataurant at the end of the tunnel, and you can save again. v. Revolving Restaurant Another simple mission. After a cutscene with Ghost and Sparks you'll see your escape ladder, and a grand piano. Take out any guards you can find in this place, going upstairs and whatnot, and once you're satisfied, stand on the piano...and wait...You'll automatically escape, and in another small cutscene you'll find out where Soren is. Save again. vi. Terminal To begin with, all it seems you can do is kill all the guards...so do so. Eventually you'll get a message saying the first floor gate is open, although I found it wasn't because I was standing right next to it...So once you get that message, just go upstairs and downstairs till a gate right beneath where you started opens up. Pass through that and go right, you'll be able to open a big shutter. Do so and head out and right. More guards to kill. Keep heading down this hallway until you reach a little group of TV's. Turn left here and there should be a small path to some elevators, so head upstairs, killing the guards at the top. Turn right from here and you'll be told Soren is close. Turn right again and keep going all the way down this long stretch, taking out any guards you like. At the end of the hall Soren will come out from a door, kill a bunch of guards, and the mission will end. Save again. vii. Control Tower Soren and Ghost are talking in a cutscene, when suddenly an Agent bursts through a door, guards in tow. Before the guards can get to Ghost and Soren, they escape up a control tower. When the action starts kill the guard in front of you and grab his sniper rifle. Use the sniper rifle in 1st person view to take out two guards that are on the metal stairs, close to building opposite you, it's fairly easy. After you do that, head downstairs, killing a couple more enemies until you see an open door. Head through there onto a balcony and kill the soldier that's there, he won't see you coming. Now head back upstairs into the control room. Save time. viii. Control Tower 2 You'll get a phone call from Niobe, she wants you to do a favour. You'll see a plane in the distance, and a car weaving around it. She wants you to shoot the tyre out. This is pretty easy, whip your sniper rifle out, put it into 1st person, zoom in as much as you can, focus so the plane slows right down, and then aim to shoot slightly in front of where the plane is, so the bullet meets the tyre nicely, admittedly the game lets you get away with it quite a bit though. Another cutscene will start, showing your bullet taking out the tyre, followed by the guards bundling Axel into a cop car, and an Agent seeing you and flying towards you in a helicopter. Time for heli battle number two. This one is easy though, simple wait until the copter starts shooting a

In the current world, data is continuously being generated across various layers of organizations and environment due to changes in the system states or due to the occurrence of new events. These changes in the state of the existing system can happen due to the arrival of a new order request, customer service calls for complaints or feedback, changes in the company stock prices, text or multimedia messages, emails, social media posts, traffic reports, weather reports or any other kind of data. Simply producing reports using these data on a pre-defined schedule is not enough. Decision makers need real-time alerts and intelligent insight of all that is happening within and around the organization so that they may take meaningful reactive and proactive action before it is too late based on the new information being continuously generated.
A powerful technique called Complex Event Processing (CEP) is used for analyzing events coming from multiple sources over a specific period of time by detecting complex patterns between events and by making correlations. Apart from CEP, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is also used to model complex relationships between input events data. Both the approaches have their own pros and cons. In this article, we tried to describe a use case in the health care domain with the solution architecture using both CEP and ANN, combining the best capabilities of both the approaches. We have shown how one can use both the techniques together to solve highly complex problems in real or near real time.
The following two sections gives brief introduction about CEP and ANN respectively with their key benefits. In section 4, we have explained the approach which combines both the CEP and the ANN efficiently to provide better solution of complex problems. Section 5 and 6 explains the Health Care: Patient Monitoring System use case with the problem description and proposed solution approach using CEP and ANN, followed by the section with summary and conclusion.
Complex Event Processing
Complex event processing is one of the key Operational Intelligence technology used to process one or more stream of data and information (also known as events) and deriving a meaningful conclusion using them. It allows one to set the request for an analysis or some query and then have it continuously executed and evaluated over time against one or many streams of events in a highly efficient manner. CEP is all about processing events that combines data from many sources to infer events or patterns that suggest more complicated circumstances [1]. For example, CEP can be used as Fraud Detection system, to detect suspicious credit card usage by monitoring credit card activity in real time and relating the current transactions with the historical data about a particular customer. The historical data which can be used by CEP Fraud Detection system can be an average transaction amount, minimum and maximum values of the previous transactions, transaction frequencies, locality etc. On detecting fraudulent activity, CEP system can send an alert via an SMS or email to the customer or the credit card service provider to take quick reaction.
The primary goal of CEP is to (1) detect meaningful events or pattern of events which signifies either threats or opportunities from the series of events being received continuously and (2) send alerts for the same to responsible entity to respond as quickly as possible. The following diagram (as figure-1) describes high level view of the CEP system.
Figure 1: High-level view of the CEP system
As shown in Figure 1, the core of the complex event processing system is made up of set of input adapters, set of output adapters and various event processing modules such as event filtering modules, in-memory caching, aggregation over different windows (time-window, sliding window, tumbling window etc.), database lookups module, database writes module, correlation, joins, event pattern matching, state machines, dynamic queries etc. More the number of I/O adapters supported by the CEP, more flexible and adaptable it is and will be able to cover wide range of use cases as compared to the CEP tool having support for limited set of I/O adapters.
Key Benefits of CEP
The following are some of the key benefits the CEP provides to the business.
- Automatically identifies rare but important relationships between seemingly unrelated events or stream of events and accelerate timely responses to both the threats and opportunities.
- Using sophisticated analysis and event pattern matching techniques, the CEP improves resource allocation and timely problem resolution by prioritize situations that require the most urgent attention in real or near real time based on arrival of events.
- CEP helps organization to reduce operating costs by monitoring end-to-end performance of the system and provide timely alerts to rapidly identify potential SLA violations.
- CEP helps organization to fine tune their business processes by correlating SLA performance with industry metrics e.g. Six Sigma and various Quality metrics, to enhance overall productivity.
Artificial Neural Network
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a computational model which resembles with the way human brain is made up of in structure and the way it works. Similar to human brain which is made up of billions of neurons interconnected by synapses, the ANN can be form as a network of computational nodes connected with each other through links. The ANN needs to be trained repeatedly with specific set of training data before it can be used in production environment. Due to its adaptive nature, the internal structure of the ANN can easily be changed based on external or internal information that flows through the network during the learning phase [2]. The links are assigned weights during training process, which regulate the flow of data from one node to another. ANNs are used to model complex relationships between inputs and outputs data. ANN can efficiently find various patterns in input data or to predict future values of the system parameters. Due to its flexible construct, ANN can be very helpful in modeling complex systems which are very difficult otherwise by using traditional modeling techniques. Artificial neural networks are being applied in diverse of domains and fields. They are extensively used for doing image processing and recognition, speech recognition, credit card fraud detection, for prediction of protein structure in biotechnology and in the field of genetic science.
Artificial neural network consists of two types of interfaces with the external world, the input and the output. Since the ANN is made up of nodes or neurons and the links between them, a subset of total nodes in the ANN act as input nodes, which take data from the external world, a subset of nodes act as output node, which produces result and zero or more hidden nodes act as intermediary nodes, with having only connections with input or output nodes or other hidden nodes. Hence, the ANN is made up of nodes in input layer, nodes in output layer and zero or more internal layers.
Figure 2: High-level view of artificial neural network
The high level view of ANN is shown in figure-2. The diagram shows a typical neural network with total 12 nodes, three nodes in the input layer, seven nodes in the hidden layer and two nodes in the output layer. Before the neural network can be used in actual production environment, it is needed to be trained for particular environment. The process of training of ANN is called learning of neural network, which is generally done in one of the following three ways: (a) supervised learning; (b) unsupervised learning and (c) reinforcement learning. The more details about the ANN learning can be found in [2].
Key Benefits of ANN
Since ANNs can infer a function from inputs, they particularly are used in the applications where the complexity of the input data or system modeling makes the design of such a function impractical using traditional approaches. Following are some of the key benefits ANN provides.
- It is very easy to apply ANN to problem domains where the relationships are quite dynamic or non-linear among the input and output.
- Since ANN is capable of capturing many kind of relationships and complex patterns among data, ANN allows user to easily model the system which otherwise is very difficult or impossible to represent through traditional modeling approaches.
- The training information is not stored in any single element but is distributed in the entire network structure. This makes ANN fault tolerant and it reduces the impact of erroneous input on the result.
CEP and ANN Together
Having seen the key properties and benefits of using both, CEP and ANN, this section describes what if one apply both together for specific set of problems to make the modeling of the system and solution easy and efficient. The CEP is best in accepting data or events from multiple channels and apply various event processing operations on it, such as event filtering, event pattern matching, aggregation etc. Apart from that user can configure alerts based on various thresholds on various system parameters. But the CEP tools lakes the ability to predict future events or determine the values of the system parameters for future events, which can be efficiently done by the ANN. So if we combine best of CEP and best of ANN for a particular problem, the resulting solution could be very effective and efficient. In the following sections, we have described how the CEP and the ANN can be used together to solve a particular problem of patient monitoring system in the domain of Health care and medicines.
Patient Monitoring System
The patient monitoring system monitors and keeps track of various body parameters of the patient and provides the data for analysis to monitoring system. Various body parameters could be blood pressure, the percentage of oxygen in the blood, glucose level in the blood, heart beat rate, change in body temperature etc. Data provided by the patient monitoring system helps to make diagnostic decisions easy and more reliable. The quality of patient treatment and care giving can greatly be improved with the use of patient monitoring systems, since it allows generating alerts in case of sudden changes in the patient body parameters which could be dangerous to the patient's health or could be life threatening some time [3].
A Use Case
Goals of the patient monitoring system are to (1) continuously keeps track of the patient's body parameters and store the data for present or future references, (2) identify life-threatening changes in patient's body and raises timely alarms for the same, and (3) to determine whether patient's health is in normal condition or it is improving or worsening based on the continuously arriving input data from various medical monitors. Since no two human bodies react in a same way against given situation or medication, it is very difficult to derived common rule set which can be applied to all human bodies. Similarly, one person's body also reacts differently in different medical and environmental situations. For example, a particular heart beat rate can be normal in some situation, while the same can be very abnormal in the other situation. So to judge the proper health condition, a trained professional is required, i.e. a specialist doctor, who studies all the observations and determine the correct state of patient's health. If the patient monitoring system is equipped with some intelligent agent who will use patient's medical history and current body parameters observations, then quality of patient care delivery can greatly be improved. We combine CEP and ANN together to propose system architecture which tries to act as an intelligent agent of the patient monitoring system, which is described in the following section.
System Architecture of the intelligent patient monitoring system using CEP and ANN
The following diagram, in Figure 3, shows the architecture of the intelligent patient monitoring system using CEP and ANN. There are total five key components; (1) Medical monitors, (2) CEP, (3) Patient's medical history and diagnosis data store, (4) ANN and (5) ANN output to action message converter.
(1) Medical Monitors
Medical monitors are medical devices used for monitoring patient's body parameters. It can consist of one or more body parameter sensors, processing components, display devices as well as communication links for displaying, recording or transmitting data or results elsewhere through a monitoring network. In the proposed architecture, the data generated by medical monitors are fed into the CEP system. [3]
Figure 3: Architecture of the intelligent patient monitoring system using CEP and ANN
The CEP section of the proposed architecture is one of the key components of the system. It receives all the monitored data and applies various event processing techniques, such as filtering, aggregation etc. over input event streams and provides the data for further processing to ANN module. Various input adapters available in CEP make it possible to collect data from different types of sensors or monitors and process them collectively. In CEP module, various event processing rule are written specific to the patient.
(3) Patient's medical history and diagnosis data store
This is the data store where patient's medical history and diagnosis data is stored. It could be traditional RDBMS storage system. The data stored in this storage are used for ANN training purpose. The new data is continuously added into the same data storage and will be used next time when ANN will be trained again with patient's latest medical and diagnosis data.
The ANN model for the patient is computational neural network specific to the patient and trained using patient's all medical and diagnosis data. This trained ANN model is used for real-time diagnosis and care delivery. The decision is taken based on the input data coming from the CEP output adapters. The patient specific ANN model is trained at regular interval may be daily or on need bases. These regular updates which include latest knowledge about measured body parameters, diagnosis and medication information of the patient, helps ANN model to make accurate predictions. It is also possible to make ANN take biased decision by giving more weight to either historical data or the latest data during training. All these make ANN the most critical component of the system.
(5) ANN output to action message converter
The output generated by the ANN is generally real numbers and they are needed to be mapped to the meaningful information so that appropriate action can be taken. This is done by the ANN output to action message converter. The module not only map ANN output to real world information but it can also sends action data or alerts to devices or human being through email, SMS, alarm system etc. The threshold for various alerts can be configured so it can adapt to the changes happening to the health and body.
Together all these components make a very flexible, intelligent and efficient patient monitoring system. The proposed architecture shows how one can use CEP and ANN together more effectively to model the complex problem and provide efficient solution alternative over the traditional approaches.
Complex event processing and artificial neural network are the two widely used solution techniques for the problems that are very difficult to model using traditional approaches. In this article, we have described both the approaches in brief with their key capabilities. We have also described a use case for intelligent patient monitoring system with the solution architecture using both CEP and ANN and combining the best capabilities of both the approaches. We have shown how one can use both the techniques together to solve highly complex problems in real or near real time.

Aaron Murray Diary: Trekking to Oregon
It's the day before we jump on a plane to head out to Oregon and I just got done packing and getting everything ready for the week ahead. I'm probably going to try to get to sleep around 9 or 10, but I'm sure it will be much later considering all the excitement that the upcoming week will bring.
My team the Plant Panthers just got done winning a 7-on-7 Tourney this past weekend at USF (the Sling-and-Shoot). The tournament held over 40 of the best teams in Florida and we played awesome, with many of our guys stepping up in key moments to make big plays for us.
I hope that by winning this past weekend that will ignite us and get us pumped for the Nike 7ON Tournament this week. I feel we have got a good chance to win as long as we play like we did this past weekend.
I'm looking forward to this week and I can't wait to get out there and compete against the best! I'll check back in tomorrow and let you know how our trip went and some first thoughts on Oregon!
Aaron Murray is an ESPN 150 WatchList and Elite 11 QB out of Tampa (Fla.) Plant. For the next 10 days the Georgia commit will keep a journal of his travels back to the Nike 7ON championship (July 17-18) and the Elite 11 (July 21-24) only on ESPN.com.
