LOS ANGELES (AP) — Four young adults have been stabbed after a feud spilled out of a downtown Los Angeles nightspot.
Investigators say two men were arguing inside the Belasco Theater and the stabbing occurred at about 2:20 a.m. Friday outside the South Hill Street building. The nature of the dispute hasn't been disclosed.
City News Service says one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed the other man. Three bystanders who tried to intervene were also stabbed.
A man in his 20s has been arrested. His name hasn't been released.
The wounded were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Belasco Theater website describes the nightspot as a multipurpose event and entertainment complex with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems.

Amazon-owned Quidsi, the company behind Diapers.com, is launching Wag.com, an online store for pet supplies.
The store is the third one created by Quidsi that targets young mothers, after Diapers.com and Soap.com. Wag.com is part of the company's attempt to provide all the essentials its core demographic is looking for, Quidsi CEO Mark Lore told Mashable.
Wag.com is divided into six main shops: for cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. Like Diapers.com, it provides free shipping on any order of $49 or more, though the number drops to $39 if you buy items on one of Wag.com's sister sites. All three sites share the same ecommerce and checkout solution, so it's possible to have items from Soap.com, Wag.com and Diapers.com in one online shopping cart.
Amazon acquired Quidsi last November for $540 million. Quidsi is not only known for its strong focus on its young mothers demographic, but its customer service and its efficiency in optimizing warehousing. The company launched its Facebook stores earlier this year.

Hey Pramod,
Are you referring to load-balancing/fail-over of the ejb (object) tier? I just
want to make sure I understand you correctly. For load balancing to work with
ejbs, you must do the following...
1) Make sure that your web components (JSP, Servlets, etc) are not collocated
with your EJBS. This means that your servlets should not be on the same machine
where your EJB's are deployed. WebLogic will always invoke the local EJB if this
is the case and will not attempt to load balance.
2) Make sure that you have the appropriate properties in the ejb descriptor. Here
is an example for stateless session beans (check the documentation for stateful
and entity EJBS)
Hope that helps

The Lewis-Upshur Local Emergency Planning Committee may soon get a new partner, making it possibly the first such organization to cover three counties.
Jim Farry, director of the Upshur County Office of Emergency Management, said the OEM in Barbour County has inquired on "several occasions" about hooking up with the Lewis-Upshur group.
"The Barbour County LEPC has not been functional for quite some time," Farry told the Upshur County Commission last week.
Because Farry was not aware of any three-county LEPC organizations, he said he initially contacted state leaders to see if it would be possible. The state gave its approval, but said the merger would require approval from all three county commissions involved.
Farry said he first wants to see how having three counties involved in an LEPC would affect grant funding before moving ahead with any further discussions. He said the organization historically has received an annual stipend of $6,000, but he said he hoped that amount would increase by at least $1,000, if not more, should the Barbour County merger go through.
"The only other major issue is that a lot of our plans have already been completed, and they deal only with Lewis and Upshur counties," Farry said. "They would have to be amended, and it would only be fair that Barbour County bear that additional cost."
Farry said he did not foresee any negative aspects of pushing forward with the merger.
"We would have to split up our meetings to spend time there," he said, noting the monthly meetings traditionally have rotated between Lewis and Upshur counties. "We would have to spend time in Barbour County, but we're already traveling between Lewis and Upshur counties."
Farry likes the idea of a regional LEPC, saying it would get more people, facilities and businesses involved in the process. He said the three counties already have a working relationship because of being in the same Homeland Security region.
Though LEPC agencies typically aren't activated in times of disasters, they work with local leaders to develop emergency plans by identifying potential hazards and available resources that could be need in the event of a crisis.
In other OEM matters, Dirk Burnside discussed the possibility of the state shutting down operations at the tower near the West Virginia State Wildlife Center. He recommended if that situation were to occur, the county should consider moving its communication equipment to the tower on Cleveland Mountain. He said the higher terrain would allow for better emergency communication, and an emergency generator already is in place should there be a loss of power. Burnside also said there is a building at the Cleveland Mountain site, should any emergency agency need to store equipment there.

AMHERST - The Wahconah girls basketball team knows a little something about playing at the Curry Hicks Cage and they'll get one more chance to play there on Saturday.
The No. 3 Warriors beat No. 2 Hampshire Regional High School 45-37 Thursday in a girls Division II Western Mass semifinal game.
Experience seemed to be the key as the Wahconah Warriors started five seniors as opposed to Hampshire's one senior, Margo McCarthy.
The last time Hampshire made it to the finals at the Cage was in 2007 when they beat South Hadley 49-21. Wahconah's most recent trip was in 2009 when they lost, 46-41 to Monument Mountain.
"Was our game plan ready to go coming in, absolutely," said Hampshire coach Rich Moussette. "What you game plan and what you get out of it sometimes doesn't happen. It didn't happen tonight."
"They switched up their defense which we struggled with a little bit," said McCarthy. "The turnovers killed us."
McCarthy always wanted to play in the Cage, so making it to the semifinals was special for the senior.
"It's something you dream about," said McCarthy. "I watched them play here when I was in seventh and eighth grade and it's something I've wanted to do ever since then."
Hampshire got off to a quick start, taking a 4-0 lead to open the first quarter. The Red Raiders maintained a narrow lead through the first quarter but Wahconah's first three baskets were all three-pointers, a trend that carried on throughout the game.
Aliah Curry was a sharp shooter from behind the arch for Wahconah, draining four three-pointers for a game-high 23 points.
The experienced Warrior senior squad took their first lead of the game in the second quarter when Sara Hamilton blocked Hampshire's Sarah Kober giving the Warriors possession for the go ahead basket.
Kober started things off for Hampshire as they entered the third quarter up 20-19. Kober was strong in the lane all night, driving in for the first basket of the third.
McCarthy who finished with 11 points for Hampshire scored just two in the fourth quarter and was held scoreless in the second quarter.
"It's been a goal in the back of everyone's mind for the entire season. How young we are sometimes hurts us a little bit, but it's a learning experience and they will grow and get better," said McCarthy.
The stage may have been a little too big for such a young squad, but coach Moussette is convinced that this isn't the end for the Red Raiders.
"I think the environment really hurt us tonight and I didn't think my youth would be that timid," said Moussette. "Part of that is just getting to know this place, and we're coming back - we're coming back."

Good StuffI like this product because it comes in a nice portable container. It doesn't have a strong smell like other peels. It's gentle and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

My Reasons for Reporting This

EDITOR'S NOTE: Cole is on vacation (from what, we're not sure), so we are regifting this Cole Classic that originally ran Dec. 26, 1999. Clip and save for the day after Christmas.
Stop! There's no need to droop your head in guilt.
Now that the ghost of Christmas gorging past is barging in with all the subtlety of a hippopotamus in an egg farm, I am here to reassure you: You already worked off all those holiday fudge and cookie calories pestering your conscience.
Think of all the waist bends and stretches you completed Christmas morning alone picking up shreds of discarded wrapping paper.
What about all that weight lifting? Remember lugging bags of gifts from stores to car trunks, then out of cars into secret closets, then changing secret closets 13 times as each hiding place was discovered, then pulling all the bags and boxes out again to wrap and sack to start that heavy lifting process all over again for various get-togethers at relatives' homes scattered across the countryside? That whole pumpkin roll you ate barely had a chance to settle comfortably into a paunch before you burned it up with heavy lifting.
Then there's the pelvic twist of snow shoveling, ladder stepping to hang lights, the rowing motions of mopping floors, sparring with other shoppers before and after Christmas sales, and the curls of carrying rolls of wrapping paper, frozen hams and kids refusing to get into bathtubs.
And you'd be surprised how many calories one can burn griping and spluttering and throwing screwdrivers across the room while trying to piece together the "some assembly required" toys.
So don't give those cinnamon rolls and peanut butter balls another thought. You've used them all up. In fact, you probably need to bake more just to keep from shriveling up. Because there always are the bonus workouts.
One Christmas morning, I waded through a sea of shredded wrapping paper in bare feet when I chanced upon the business end of an action figure accessory.
"Yeow!" I hopped, flapped my arms and bellowed, which happens to be a terrific aerobic workout. The dog joined in, zipping beneath whichever foot happened to be in the air at the moment. This twirled me into a Tasmanian devil spin.
I snatched for the Christmas tree and held steady for nearly an entire second. Then the tree and I toppled to the ground in an explosion of lights and smoke and puffs of ornament balls.
My little girl rushed into the room and parted pine boughs to find me beneath the tree. "Daddy! Wow! You found Princess Barbie's tiara! Thanks, Daddy! Bye!''
As my rescuer ran off, I groaned, "Tell your mother I took the tree down for her."
Which brings me to my point: Taking down the Christmas tree can burn oodles of calories, erasing all the holiday fudge, breads, cakes and cookie calories in one fell swoop, so to speak.
So don't let a single tinge of feasting guilt bother you. Eat the whole tray of frosted gingerbread men. You're going to need the strength to keep up with all the exercise.

IONIA COUNTY, MI -- A man serving his sentence at the Michigan Reformatory for assault with intent to murder in Ogemaw County committed suicide on Tuesday, a state prison system spokesman said.
Derek Dean Allen, 30, was found hanging in his cell around 10:35 p.m. April 22, said spokesman Russ Marlan.
Allen had been serving a 9 to 30-year sentence in the correctional facility west of Ionia. He was in a cell by himself and was not on suicide watch, Marlan said.
Allen was sentenced in December 2013 and was not to be released until at least November 2021.
He was charged in a shooting in Ogemaw County's Mills Township on Nov. 13, 2012.
The victim, a man, was shot in the shoulder and suffered non life-threatening injuries. The shooting was the result of a domestic dispute, according to a MLive.com/Saginaw News report.
The male victim was at a home on South Chippewa Drive with Allen's ex-girlfriend when the shooting happened. The ex-girlfriend had a restraining order against Allen 9&10 News reported.
The suicide comes days after Eric Knysz hung himself at a Michigan Department of Corrections facility in Jackson. Knysz was taken off life support April 17.

Even with the dollar losing some of its muscle, more than six million Americans are expected to travel overseas this summer. For many of them, getting there may be half the fun, but coming home through Customs probably won't be. To ease the strain of reentry, Sidney Reyes, U.S. Customs District Director for the Washington, D.C. area, offers some useful tips about what you can bring back with you—and how much duty you will be expected to pay on those items. You can come home again, Reyes assures nervous travelers, and Customs won't hurt a bit if you play by the rules. Reyes, 52, an ex-Marine from Harlem, has three grown children and lives with his second wife, Brit, a passenger representative for Scandinavian Airlines, just five minutes from Dulles International Airport. He spoke with reporter Dolly Langdon.
Why are travelers with nothing to hide uneasy about going through Customs?
It's traumatic to have someone search your bag. People aren't used to that in this country, so it's natural to feel uneasy. It's not unlike being stopped by a police officer, even if he only wants to tell you the tires on your car need some air.
In 1981 Customs regulations governing the duties Americans must pay on purchases made outside the country were changed. What are the rules now?
Returning U.S. citizens can buy up to $400 worth of souvenirs without paying any additional tax. A bigger spender can declare another $1,000 worth and pay only a flat 10 percent duty on that. So the most he would have to pay on $1,400 in purchases would be $100. Once you go beyond that $1,400-per-person limit, what you buy outside the U.S. is dutiable at a specific rate, up to 40 percent, depending on the item.
Apart from drugs, what are some of the items travelers aren't allowed to bring into the country?
Most fruits, vegetables and plants are prohibited because they might carry disease or pests. We also don't allow hard-core pornography or dangerous weapons like switchblade knives. We try to look out for seditious books or journals that advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government. Liquor-filled candy is limited to five pounds, and foreign lottery tickets are banned because the statute classifies them as "immoral material."
Cigars, liquor and perfume are usually high on tourist shopping lists. What are the rules concerning these?
Anyone over 21 can bring home one liter of liquor duty free. But liquor is one item that cannot be mailed into the U.S. Also, if you're interested in bringing home a case or two of wine, it's a good idea to check with your state's liquor authorities before you leave home. Some states don't permit you to import more than one liter even if you're willing to pay extra duties and taxes. You are allowed to bring 100 cigars into the U.S., but Cuban cigars may be brought in only directly from Cuba. There are no restrictions on perfume other than the usual duty applied to anything else.
What items are exempt from all duties?
Antiques, but you must have written proof from the seller that they are more than 100 years old. Artwork, if the country that it comes from doesn't prohibit its export. Coffee, because it's not produced anywhere in the U.S. Books and sound recordings, if they don't violate U.S. copyright laws. Unset diamonds and natural pearls, because they don't compete with U.S. products.
What should a traveler know about buying a car overseas?
There's no problem about bringing an automobile into the U.S.—except that it must conform to federal pollution-control and safety standards. Even if the vehicle isn't properly equipped, you can usually bring it in if you put up a bond [equal to the value of the car plus the duty] and make sure the car complies within 90 days. Bringing it into compliance can be expensive, though, so you should find out what the cost will be before you buy. You can apply your $400 exemption to a car if you bring it into the country with you. The remaining value of the car would be subject to a 2.6 percent duty.
What if a traveler already owns a Swiss watch or a Japanese camera that he plans to take on a trip? Would he have to pay duty on it when he returns?
He might if he didn't have proof of prior purchase with him. Anything that has a serial number, like a watch or a camera, can be registered at your nearest Customs office before you leave. Otherwise we suggest you take with you a bill of sale or some other proof of previous ownership.
What if you take prescription drugs?
Be sure to take along the bottle with the prescription on it. If you don't you might run into problems with inspectors who are watching out for narcotics.
What are the penalties for not declaring something you should?
Depending on the circumstances we can charge up to six times the normal duty. If you're a sophisticated traveler who's been in and out of the country many times—and we can usually tell from your passport—we won't buy the story "I didn't know." We would seize the item and decide how much extra duty you should pay. If you don't pay, you forfeit what you bought, and it eventually winds up in one of the auction sales each Customs district holds every year.
Last year 290 million people entered the U.S. through 281 ports of entry. How do you even begin to detect smugglers among so many travelers?
It's not easy. But you can learn to tell a lot from people's body language and the answers that they give to our questions. We tell our inspectors to use their street smarts and look for the unusual. What travelers going through Customs don't realize is that an inspector's simple questions are often very pointed and could give us a lead.
For example?
Surprisingly a smuggler who may have been clever enough to hide cocaine in a false-bottomed suitcase may not have thought through the details of his cover story. If you say, "What do you do?" he might say that he's a dental technician. But then when you ask him where he received his training, he might not be able to come up with the name of a school. Or, if he does, the institution he mentions might not have a dental program. What most people don't realize is that the inspector is playing Columbo. If he thinks that you're smuggling, he's going to try to wear you down with question after question.
What kind of special training do Customs inspectors receive?
Our service academy in Glynco, Ga. briefs them on Customs laws and puts them through practice scenarios that make them alert to potential smugglers. They learn a lot of details about how foreign garments are made, for example. So if a woman tells you she bought an expensive-looking dress in Chicago, we can sometimes tell right away it was really made in France or Hong Kong and not previously imported into the U.S.

We've now made it two days and three rounds into the 2013 NFL Draft, with tight end Travis Kelce and running back Knile Davis joining offensive tackle Eric Fisher as the newest members of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now that we're into the later rounds of the draft, the focus has changed somewhat.
Sure, teams are still hopeful that they will find a diamond in the rough or unearth the next Tom Brady (a sixth-round pick in 2000), but at this point the draft becomes as much about adding depth as it is about searching for starters.
With that in mind, here's yet another look (with some different picks, if only to change things up) at how the Kansas City Chiefs can close the 2013 NFL draft on a high note.
If you're curious as to how I viewed the draft both before and after Thursday's first round, you can check out my first two mock drafts for the Chiefs at Bleacher Report here and here.

"The best way to get your mind around RAGE is to play it for a few hours," says id Software's creative director Tim Willits, mere moments before I'm given the chance to run around unsupervised in its campaign for two and a half hours.
The last time the game was shown, in March, was a brief run-through of five different segments of the game - a nice technical showcase of all the different facets of RAGE, perhaps, but not a splendid way to show you how the game stands as a whole.
The 15-20 hour campaign starts 106 years after asteroid 99942 Apophis collides with Earth - via a lavish CGI introduction - with your character waking up from cryogenic slumber. Step out of your Apple-esque surroundings, the pristine sleekness marred somewhat by the fact that all your fellow pod-buddies are dead and rotting, and you're immediately attacked by mutants.
I don't need to point out that RAGE looks fantastic, but your first real introduction to its wasteland comes from the passenger seat of local hero Dan Hagar's buggy, voiced by John Goodman, and he's definitely taking the scenic route. When was the last time a game opened with a good vehicle ride? It was everywhere after Half-Life did it in 1998, then it sort of fizzled out in that era where the first thing you do in a game is look up and down to set your Y-axis - though RAGE still has that, of course. I mean, it's 2011. You need that bit. It's basically the law.
It's not long before you're darting around as Hagar's super-powered errand boy, steeping yourself in the established RPG formula of accepting and undertaking various quests. Collect this, deliver that, kill all of these - RAGE definitely has all of this in abundance. Your reward for doing so? Loot, of course.
RAGE, as has been detailed before, straddles a middle-ground between shooter and RPG. Much of its post-apocalyptic world can be scavenged (there are no encumbrance limits) and put to good use. Equipment, including buffs and ammunition, can be constructed from component parts once you've obtained blueprints, and powerful secondary ammunition types, which range from explosive rounds to mind-control crossbow bolts, can be built and foraged.
You don't get to experience much of that at the start, as you're armed with little more than a pistol with some boring regular ammunition, but within a few hours you'll be packing a shotgun and an assault rifle alongside your trusty six-shooter - now loaded with super powerful FatBoy rounds.

Forty-two Kids
42 x 60 1/4 in. (106.7 x 153.0 cm)
Museum Purchase, William A. Clark Fund
Forty-two Kids depicts a band of lanky boys frolicking on the sunny docks of New York City's East River in August 1907. In turn-of-the-century slang, "kids" referred specifically to streetwise tenement dwellers, who were frequently the offspring of recently arrived, working-class immigrants living in East Side neighborhoods.
When it was exhibited in New York in 1908, the painting was ridiculed and derided for its adventurous subject and brash style; one critic called it a "tour de force of absurdity." Nonetheless, Forty-two Kids was purchased within a year of its completion, marking the second sale of Bellows' career and his first to a private collector.

The Signal reported last month that a William S. Hart Union High School District employee was under investigation for allegedly having an "inappropriate" relationship with a 16-year-old student. The employee in question is a female counselor, a source told The Signal.
The staff member had been placed on administrative leave, district officials said last month.
"The Hart District takes such allegations very seriously and will continue to focus on the protection and safety of students in our schools, while protecting the privacy of any students or employees who may be involved," the statement said.

A top U.S. nuclear regulator had calming words today for both Japanese and Americans worried about those nuclear plants damaged by Japan's massive earthquake and tsunami that struck March 11.
U.S. NRC Executive Director Bill Borchardt told other members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Monday that the situation at Fukushima plant, the one hit worst, is now stabilizing.
Borchardt reported readings show Americans don't need to fear radiation leaking from those damaged plants.
"In fact, natural background from things like the rocks, sun, buildings, is a 100,000 times more than any level that has been detected to date," he said.
Seven workers did evacuate the nuclear plant for a while on Monday, as a cloud of grey smoked puffed out of the Unit 3 reactor. It's unclear what caused the smoke.
Operation Blessing is continuing to help the people of Japan. In just three days, Operation Blessing has helped 2,500 earthquake and tsunami victims. David Darg gives an update on efforts to keep the people in shelters warm. Click play for more.
Food Chain Affected
Meanwhile radiation leaked last week is showing up in Tokyo's tap water and food supply. Stores refused to sell milk, spinach, and other leafy vegetables from near reactor.
Tests showed they had unsafe levels of radiation.
"For consumers in the affected areas, they should be cautious about what they eat." Caroline Smith Dewaal, with the Center for Science and the Public Interest, said. "For American consumers, there's really nothing to worry about."
The government has blamed Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the troubled nuclear complex, for failing to make crucial inspections in the weeks before the disaster.
The government said 33 pieces of equipment were not inspected, including back-up generators and pumps.
Miraculous Survival
Japanese officials now believe more than 18,400 people died as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that struck the island nation.
But there was reason to celebrate some. Nine days after the quake, rescuers pulled an 80-year-old woman and her 16-year-old grandson out of their collapsed home. Both were relatively unharmed.
The World Bank said rebuilding in Japan may cost $235 billion.

Dallas Cowboys LT Tyron Smith on first-round draft pick Notre Dame OL Zack Martin: "He'll be a great addition."
IRVING - Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith was on board with the team's first-round selection Thursday night in the NFL draft.
Smith, who spent Thursday night visiting with fans as the Cowboys' draft party at AT&T Stadium, told The Dallas Morning News late Thursday night that he was excited to see Dallas draft Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin 16th overall.
"We grew as a unit last year, and anything that can help our team out is great," Smith said of the Cowboys' offensive line. "He'll be a great addition for our team."
This was the third time in the last four years the Cowboys have drafted an offensive lineman. Dallas drafted center Travis Frederick 31st overall in the first round last year, and Smith was drafted ninth overall in 2011.
Before Thursday night, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had traded a first-round pick 20 out of 25 drafts since he bought the team in 1989. The last time Jones didn't trade a first-round pick in the draft was when he selected Smith in 2011 out of USC. And that has worked out well for the Cowboys.
Smith earned his first Pro Bowl trip earlier this year after a standout season at left tackle in 2013. He's in line for a long-term contract extension. But that's been pushed back now after the Cowboys recently picked up his fifth-year option on his contract, keeping him in Dallas through 2015. Smith will make more than $10 million in 2015.
"I'm really excited they picked up my fifth year," Smith said. "I'm really excited to be here in Dallas."

Bob Champion's life story (PEOPLE, April 16) seems tailor-made for a movie. In 1979, at the peak of his career as a jockey in England, he found out he had testicular cancer. Given only eight months to live, he underwent chemotherapy and, miraculously, recovered. Even more miraculous was what happened in 1981—Champion won the Grand National, Britain's steeplechase spectacular, aboard Aldaniti, a horse that had been destined to be destroyed after a serious leg injury. Despite the extraordinary drama of Champion's life, however, this movie just plods along. John (The Elephant Man) Hurt portrays Champion, but like the rest of the film he just seems tired. Jan Francis plays the woman who comes to love Champion despite his physical problems, but the romantic subplot seems pasted on to the rest of the action. (Aldaniti plays himself convincingly.) The Grand National is stirring, but it is the only part that isn't conveyed in a kind of cinematic monotone.(PG)

Finn's birthday is in a month and a half but he is not shy about discussing the future event daily. Can I have Legos for my birthday? Yes. Will there be fireworks? No. Because last year's bash at the house left me on my knees, or rather collapsed and sleeping on the couch, we have opted for renting the event room at the swimming pool on the splash side. It's very affordable and best of all you are not expected to clean after yourself, major plus!
Still, it's great fun planning a party and I have already started crafting 'save the date' notes for his little classmates. The envelopes are also the notes and the idea comes from the excellent blog Boheme Circus, via pinterest (again!).

I found out quickly that the first fold is crucial and highly recommend you try your hand on copy paper which you will use later as a template. Here the new Heather Ross Prints book comes in handy as you can find many boy appropriate options on the CD as well as not so manly ones ( see below):
For Finn's I went with a beach print and teal washi tape, the information is taped as well on the inside... The front of the cards is still under consideration, how will I add the children's names, to be continued...

Only 4 programmers
Hello everyone one on this forum! I am beginner in C++.
Can anyone tell me how to link 2 cpp files, both of them are in source file folder.
I don't want to make any header file.
Re: Only 4 programmers
Hi and welcome to the forum and for your C++ queries try creating new thread in C-C++ forum
Re: Only 4 programmers
You don't link cpp files, you link object files, and it's not necessary to have a header file to link files.
What compiler are you using and what OS?
Re: Only 4 programmers
I don't know the name of the compiler, I have installed Visual C++ 2005 Express edition, and my OS is XP.
What do u mean by object files?
I think there are only two types of files, one is header and other is cpp.
I have created two files,one is post.cpp and the other is main.cpp, in my program.
look at this test program.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
cout <<"My test program";
int a,b=4,c=3;
cout <<a;
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int add(const int x,const int y)
{int res=x+y;
return res;}
Error 1 error C3861: 'add': identifier not found
Re: Only 4 programmers
So how do you plan to make main.cpp understand there is a function called add in the file post.cpp
Re: Only 4 programmers
This is part of the problem with integrated development environments, specifically with using them to learn. When you're au fait with everything they do that's the time to start using them.
No, there are several file types. cpp and h are the source files, but that's just the start.
The first step is to preprocess the file. This sorts out the lines beginning with #, so the #includes, #if, #else etc. Also the preprocessor typically strips out comments.
The output of the preprocessor is fed into the compiler, which produces object code. This is almost executable, but has a variety of links into other object files andlibraries that need resolving. That resolving is the job of the linker which takes multiple object files and produces an executable.
With an IDE you just hit Build and it gives you an executable. That's why you shouldn't learn with an IDE but at the command line.
In your code, main calls function add() which is in a different source file. If you just tried to make an executable with main.cpp, you'd get an unresolved symbol error. Try it - familiarise yourself with that error because you'll see a lot of it and it's useful to know how to fix it.
Have a look at the files in your Debug folder where you created the project. Chances are you'll find main.obj. That's the object code.
If you now add post.cpp to the project...
[aside: if you have JUST post.cpp in the project and try to build the executable, then the unresolved symbol will be main itself]
... then this will define add(), which will be in post.obj, and the linker will now correctly build main.exe.
At the moment, post.cpp doesn't need to include iostream.h or use namespace std. You can remove both those lines and it will work fine.
Now, there is another error in the code. main.cpp has no definition for add(), hence the error you get. So there are a couple of ways of doing this. You can prototype add() directly in main.cpp by adding "int add(const int x,const int y);", which is a function prototype, above main(), or you can create the prototype in a header file and #include it in main.cpp. You don't need to include that header file in post.cpp (not yet, anyway, you might if post.cpp will be extended with other functions that call each other and aren't in the right order for the compiler to know what they are before they're used).
Re: Only 4 programmers
Thanks alot, you both methods have successfully resolved my problem

Her performance as a pitcher this season was more than impressive.
Sophomore Jordan Sheridan won seven games this season for a very young Christian Brothers Academy varsity softball team, compiling a 1.83 earned run average. She struck out 139 batters and had only 14 walks in 99.1 innings pitched.
But it wasn't necessarily Sheridan's athletic performance that earned her this season's final Post-Standard Honor Athlete of Week award.
Sheridan started a "Strikeout Hunger" campaign before the season started, obtaining donations and pledges to help The Samaritan Center, which provides hot meals to the hungry and homeless in Syracuse.

A theater on Baronne Street, an eight-story former telephone company building on Poydras Street and a group of small commercial buildings on South Rampart Street -- structures without a lot in common except that they are New Orleans' newest officially designated landmarks.
The Central Business District panel of the Historic District Landmarks Commission voted recently to designate as local landmarks the former Civic Theatre, a former BellSouth building and a group of buildings that played important roles in the early history of jazz.
The buildings all had been nominated as landmarks in the 1990s, giving the commission jurisdiction over them as if they had been formally designated.
Before they could actually be designated as landmarks, however, the commission's staff had to prepare extensive reports on their historical and architectural significance. That task took the often short-staffed agency several years, but this month's votes made the designations official and permanent.
The best-known of the structures probably is the Civic, which was built in 1906 as a playhouse in the Shubert Co. chain and is said to be the oldest surviving theater in New Orleans.
The theater was known as the Shubert, the Lafayette, the Star and the Poche, housing both movies and live shows at various times, before it became the Civic in 1951. Stars who appeared there included Helen Hayes, Mary Martin, Tyrone Power and Charles Boyer.
In the late 1960s it was briefly home to Repertory Theatre New Orleans, an ambitious but short-lived theatrical venture. It then was a disco for a while before sitting idle for many years.
Brian Gibbs, who now owns the Civic along with several other nearby buildings, plans to rehabilitate and convert the building to apartments using historic preservation tax credits. The Preservation Resource Center holds historic easements on the theater's facade and its half-block-long arcade, meaning that the preservation group must agree to any changes.
The Civic was designed by prominent local architect Sam Stone, who also collaborated on the design of the 1917 Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Co. building at 820 Poydras St. The building now is operated as a Drury Inn & Suites hotel.
The yellow brick and terra-cotta building was erected after Cumberland outgrew three previous buildings as demand for telephones grew. It remained the home of the local telephone company, later South Central Bell and then BellSouth, until 1983.
BellSouth sought permission to demolish it in 1996, but preservationists fought the request. BellSouth dropped the plan after the City Planning Commission voted against it and City Councilman Oliver Thomas expressed opposition. BellSouth sold the property to Drury in 1997.
Architecturally, the building utilized some of the most modern technology available at the time. It was reported to have a waterproof basement, hurricane-proof glass, an innovative draining system in case of flooding, fireproofing and an elaborate fire escape system.
The buildings on the lake side of the 400 block of South Rampart offer less in the way of architectural significance, but all are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"You can't get any more central to jazz history than that block," the local jazz historian and Louis Armstrong scholar Tad Jones said several years ago. Yet the surviving buildings in the block are mostly decrepit and vacant and have been threatened with demolition in recent years.
At 401-03 South Rampart stands the former Eagle Cafe and Saloon, built around 1885, where musicians hung out and legendary jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden played. Upstairs was the Odd Fellows Masonic Ballroom, where the young Armstrong may have performed or heard other early jazz greats.
At 413-15 South Rampart is the former Iroquois Theater, a vaudeville theater and later a movie house. It was built in the first decade of the 20th century. Armstrong won a talent contest there as a teenager.
At 427-31 South Rampart, built around 1905-1915, is the former tailor shop of the Karnofsky family, Russian Jewish immigrants who became almost surrogate parents to young Armstrong. Their son Morris later opened a music store there called Morris Music, where he sold jazz records.
At the Poydras Street end of the block, 445-49 South Rampart, is the onetime home of the Little Gem Saloon, which featured live music. It was built around 1889.
The buildings now are in varying condition and are controlled by various owners.
Andre Neff, a consultant representing the Arlene and Joseph Meraux Foundation, which owns the middle two buildings, asked the Landmarks Commission to defer voting on their landmark designation. He said the foundation has no intention to demolish the buildings but wanted more time to formulate long-term plans for them.
However, Commissioner Keith Twitchell, noting that the buildings were first nominated for landmark status in the mid-1990s, asked why anyone needed more time for study. The commission then voted 6-0 to add the four Rampart Street buildings to the list of city landmarks.

THERE are practical considerations and technical details about the use of skeletal traction in war fractures which need not be learned by costly experience. In view of the present international situation, the techniques of management of multiple fractures may be reviewed with profit by civilian as well as military medical personnel. The experience with fractures at the onset of the second world war in relation to the first world war emphasized the wisdom of George Santayana's remark that "those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it."
In World War II, shortly after the North African Campaign, surgeons in general and station hospitals of the European Theater of Operations were instructed by circular letters and directives from the Theater Surgeon to treat fractures of the long bones wherever possible by skeletal traction and balanced suspension. These instructions, which originated from World War II experience rather than civilian trends

SLP Undergraduate Emphasis
Students who choose to pursue a career in speech-language pathology (SLP) or audiology need to know that the entry-level into the practice of either profession is a graduate degree (a master's degree in the case of speech-language pathology; a doctorate in the case of audiology). Applicants for graduate study in speech-language pathology must complete a prescribed curriculum of foundational information prior to initiating the graduate degree. The coursework described below will fulfill the prerequisite requirements of most SLP graduate programs and prepares students for graduate study. Although not always required for graduate study in audiology, many programs prefer that their applicants have some or all of the courses below.

by Loren D. Estleman
Hot town; summer in the city." It's 1966. Americans are watching The Beverly Hillbillies and listening to Barry Sadler sing "The Ballad of the Green Berets."
This is the world of Motown, the second installment of a trilogy about Detroit by Estleman, best known as the author of the wry Amos Walker detective novels (also set in the Motor City). Casting a wider net in this ambitious book, Estleman has set out to paint a city on the eve of destruction.
Motown follows two distinct narrative paths. One involves Rick Amery, an ex-cop and car buff who is hired by a large auto company to dig up dirt on a Ralph Nader—like lobbyist. The second story line takes place on the other side of town, where a black street operator named Quincy Springfield finds that his numbers operation is being threatened by a local mob chieftain. The mob types are easy to pick out; they're the ones with names like Sweets, Patsy and Joey Machine.
As always, Estleman's prose is crisp and evocative, sprinkled with lines straight out of the hard-boiled school primer: "His mouth was where smiles went to die." The characters are intriguing and well drawn, yet Motown remains curiously uninvolving, largely because the narrative threads are never woven together. The book also would have benefited from an occasional dollop of the laid-back humor of the Walker series.
While Estleman may aspire to compete with Elmore Leonard for the title of the Dickens of Detroit, Motown's split personality makes it feel more like a disjointed tale of two cities. (Bantam, $19)

With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day on Friday, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving Earth's natural resources for future generations.
A 2010 U.N. report said animal agriculture accounted for 19 percent of man-made greenhouse gases – more than all transport – and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent.
This Wednesday morning, I rushed to the television to get the results of the most recent voting in the northeast.
Did Trump carry enough votes to secure the GOP nomination? Did Bernie Sanders call his campaign off?
What did I get on all the news channels? A row of attractive political commentators on high stools displaying more gam that grit. Gosh, those skirts are shorter than the ruffles on grandma's bloomers.
Where do they find these people identified as the chief, CEO, staff political analyst or some high sounding title?
In keeping with the spirit of Editor Brian Melton's call for civility and honest discourse, I will refrain from turning this letter into one on the personal and professional integrity of candidate William McCoy.
When questioned with regards to the alleged plagiarism of material obtained from another jurisdiction, it is sad that anyone associated with a campaign would even jokingly condone or justify stealing in any form, especially as it pertains to the highest elected position responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the community.
Credibility. Honesty. Integrity. Accountability. These are all attributes that the citizens of Lancaster County not only expect but demand from their public officials.
William McCoy's remarkable "word for word" rendition of most of the Garner Police Department Strategic Plan is an absolute disgrace for a man asking the voters of Lancaster to elect him to public office.
I want to thank Principal Chris Thorpe and all the staff at Indian Land Middle School for all the guidance they provide for our kids.
I feel safe letting my child out in the morning, knowing he will get the best of care.
The front-office staff is always very efficient and kind every time I ask for help. And all the great teachers do so much for our kids. And thank you to our special police officer for the great way he keeps us safe and on time.
North Carolina's HB2 law is simple and proper – only use the restroom that matches your biological sex.
Apple and Cisco, among other companies, are insisting that North Carolina force everyone to accept or allow people to use the restroom of their choice. They are threatening to leave the state. Why aren't they threatening to leave Iran or Saudi Arabia, who are actually murdering homosexuals?
Billy McCoy has filed to run for sheriff of Lancaster because, quote, "He (Sheriff Faile) has been in office long enough." Also, he states that Sheriff Faile has relatives who once were sheriff. What does that have to do with Barry Faile?
In my opinion, there is no time limit for the office of sheriff as long as the job is getting done, and that it is. Sheriff Faile and his department are doing an excellent job, so why change?
Billy McCoy, if that is your main reason for running for sheriff of Lancaster, then you should rethink this idea.
Author Kurek Ashley wrote: "The quality of your life will be determined by the quality of your contribution. When you work to improve the lives of others, then your life improves automatically."
This is a very fitting quote for this time of year, as we at Springs Memorial Hospital honor our volunteers next week during National Volunteer Week.
I read the March 30 article about Billy McCoy running against Sheriff Barry Faile. Mr. McCoy said Lancaster needs a change.
Barry Faile has done a lot for Lancaster in cleaning up crime. Why do we need a change? We don't. We need Barry Faile, who has done and can keep doing the job.
Talk is cheap, but Barry has proven himself many times over. Our sheriff's reputation speaks for itself.
Carl M. Miles
See Lancaster would like to thank the community for its support of Rosie's Easter Bash, held March 26 at the American Legion Fairgrounds.
More than 1,500 people endured early-morning rain to come out and enjoy the annual event, which featured a petting zoo, bounce houses, face painting, photos with Peter Cotton Tail, egg hunts and more. Groups of youngsters searched for more than 8,000 eggs, including 100 "golden eggs" which offered the opportunity to take home baskets sponsored by local businesses.

America's Test Kitchen: My Favorite Pie RecipesElizabeth Stark
America's test kitchen is well-known for their excellent, well-tested recipes. Lately, they're making news for America's Test Kitchen Radio, a new radio broadcast that debuted on Boston Public Radio January 8th. But, in my house, America's Test Kitchen is synonymous with great pie.
Known for their exacting recipes, I find them especially helpful when it comes to pie and pastry, and some of my favorite pie recipes are inspired by America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated.
Here are some of my very favorite Test Kitchen inspired pies:
Apple Pie with Sage and Vanilla-Infused Butter

Depending on your level of whole 30 you can top it with ketchup and mayo like you would a burger or you can get a oil and vinegar type dressing and go that route. Add a glass of soda water and you're set!

Not quite sure what you mean by "seeing we're licensed for the full
versions (say 5 and using 4)." You have 5 remote agent licenses and are
using 4?
If so, just load BEWS (assuming that you have an extra Server License as
well) on the machine with the older/larger drive, and install one Remote
AFAIK, if you have a license for each remote server, it doesn't matter
which server you actually use to back it up. At least that's the way
that it used to work.

Medication is often changed or discontinued during hospital admission, and this is especially true for medications prescribed to elderly patients.1 However, after discharge further changes to medication regimens are not always intentional and may be due to poor communication.2 For example, in an earlier study, we found that adverse drug reactions detected during hospitalization and requiring cessation of the causative drug were poorly communicated to primary care professionals (general practitioners and pharmacists), leading to a rate of represcription of withdrawn medication of 27% during the first 6 months after discharge.3 The study highlighted the need for better communication of reasons for discontinuation of medication. Adequate communication of these reasons can only exist on the condition that these reasons are well documented. Our experience in daily practice is that such documentation is often inadequate. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the frequency of reasons for discontinuation of medication and the documentation thereof in hospitalized patients.
We studied the medical records (paper and/or electronic) of consecutive patients admitted to the geriatric and internal medicine wards of the University Medical Center Utrecht (n = 200) and the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven (n = 200), the Netherlands, to determine which medications were used before hospitalization. Discontinuation was defined as stopping or switching to another drug within the same therapeutic range. Prescribed and discontinued medications and dates of discontinuation were extracted from electronic prescription programs, and then patient records were reviewed to determine whether the reasons for discontinuation of these medications at these dates had been recorded. Reasons for discontinuation were categorized as "adverse drug reaction," "contraindication," "no longer indicated," "interaction," "palliation," "ineffective," "no reason mentioned," "at request of patient," or "other." Discontinuation of antibiotics after completion of a course and of potassium supplementation after normalization of serum potassium level was interpreted as "no longer indicated."
The mean age of the 200 geriatric patients was 82 years, and of the 200 internal medicine patients, 57 years. The geriatric patients used a mean of 7.3 (range, 0-24) medications at admission, and the internal medicine patients used a mean of 4.8 (range, 0-20). The mean number of discontinued medications was 4.9 (range, 0-22) in geriatric patients and 2.8 (range, 0-26) in internal medicine patients. Of all the discontinued medications used in geriatric patients, 50% were prescribed before admission and 50% had been started during hospitalization. Among internal medicine patients, 35% of discontinued medications were prescribed before and 65% during hospitalization. The most frequently discontinued medications were cardiovascular drugs, antibiotics, and supplements (vitamins and minerals). In 39.8% of discontinued medications, no reason for discontinuation was documented (Table). Most frequently documented reasons for discontinuation were "no longer indicated" (27.5%), "palliation" (9.8%), "contraindication" (9.1%), and "adverse drug reactions" (5.2%). In geriatric patients "palliation" occurred more frequently as reason for discontinuation: 12.3% vs 5.5% in internal medicine patients. "No longer indicated" occurred more often in internal medicine patients (32.5% vs 24.5%). Frequencies of other reasons for discontinuation were not different between geriatric and internal medicine patients.
To our knowledge, this is the first study of reasons for medication discontinuation during hospitalization. We found that in more than a third of the discontinued medications the reason was not documented in the patient records. Poor documentation and communication of reasons for discontinuing medication may result in the represcription of withdrawn medications, which could have adverse repercussions on the patients' health. Eguale et al4 reported that reasons for discontinuation can be accurately recorded in an electronic prescription program in primary care. We propose that reasons for discontinuation of medication should be recorded in electronic patient files, which are currently being introduced in the Netherlands and other countries.5,6 To facilitate this, we are developing an electronic clinical decision support module that forces physicians to document these reasons. In addition, this module will make the information available to other relevant health care providers, for example, general practitioners and pharmacies. A limitation of the present study is its small number of studied departments (internal medicine and geriatric wards) and hospitals (n = 2).
We believe that using an electronic prescription program with a clinical decision support module that incorporates reasons for discontinuation will improve documentation and communication of reasons why medication is withdrawn, leading to better pharmacovigilance at a patient level.

Let's Get Invisible! (1993)
by R. L. Stine
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I remember reading some Goosebumps books back when I was younger. This book took me back to those days and how these stories gave me the chills. I empathize with the protagonist which helps fulfill R.L. Stine's task of "scaring" the reader. Though "Let's Get Invisible," isn't his scariest book, it still had it's classic moments of fright. It was a pretty easy read and I would recommend this to anyone trying to get into chapter books for the first time.
when I read it I was so bored so that I enjoyed it :P
Max's birthday party was supposed to be held outdoors, but the sudden rain kept everyone inside. When he, Erin, and April are exploring Max's attic while waiting on Erin's mom to come pick Erin and April up, they stumble across a hidden room containing an old mirror. When the light atop the mirror is turned on, whoever is standing in front of it vanishes--turned invisible!
That's strange enough, but when Max has been invisible for too long, he starts to feel odd, like the mirror is pulling him in. Could there be more to this mirror than meets (or doesn't meet) the eye?
The sixth book in R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series, Let's Get Invisible! offers a much more fantastical story than the previous book, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb. Max is concerned about whether the mirror is really safe, but his friends only seem interested in competing to see who can stay invisible the longest, and his little brother, Lefty, only wants to use it to pull pranks.
Let's Get Invisible! is at least as well written as the previous book in the series, with a more interesting story. The characters didn't grab me as well as Gabe and Sari in The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, but they're not bad--though I admit it took me a few pages to realize that the girl nicknamed 'Mouse' wasn't the shy one. That's what I get for making assumptions.
(Spoilers removed. The full review, including spoilers, is available here.)
Let's Get Invisible! is a good book, with a different kind of horror than the usual monsters-and-danger kind. It doesn't seem to be available for the Kindle, but it's not hard to get it used, so you can still read it, if you like. Give it a try!
Why do I bother? These Goosebumps books have shoveled every idea into neat little terrible books. Someone should have realized that soul swapping through a magic mirror needed a master hand at the helm, someone who can spin a peculiar and quirky story from the basic idea. This tale of a magic mirror that renders people invisible but has a catch, is done to the death. Nobody expects Goosebumps to be really scary. Just strange and suspenseful will do. There's not even the little details that add sparkle to the affair, except where Lefty's breath is concerned. R.L Stine has already thrown the kitchen sink. If only he'd thrown the towel first.
Goosebumps. This is the series that kept me reading through my childhood. More than any other series, Goosebumps kept me interested in reading, and R.L. Stein is a wonderful children's writer. I applaud his efforts, and can't express enough my gratitude for the series.
