Paterno Family Fires Back at Freeh Report
The family of late Pennsylvania State University football coach Joe Paterno slammed as a "rush to injustice" the university-funded inquiry last year that found that Mr. Paterno and other officials conspired to conceal child sexual abuse committed by former coach Jerry Sandusky.
A report commissioned by the family and released Sunday by a group including former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh contended that the findings last year of former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh were factually wrong, speculative and "fundamentally flawed."
Mr. Freeh's seven-month inquiry found that Mr. Paterno, along with former Penn State President Graham Spanier and two other former administrators, tried to protect the school from bad publicity by not reporting to police allegations that Mr. Sandusky had been seen showering with a boy on campus in 2001.
Mr. Thornburgh and the others concluded that the "validity and thoroughness of the Freeh report was oversold to the public" and shouldn't have been accepted by the Penn State board of trustees and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which used it as the basis for unprecedented sanctions against the university.
The report, which took about six months to complete, contended that Mr. Freeh failed to interview several key witnesses, that his investigators didn't have subpoena power and that witnesses didn't testify under oath. It also said that Mr. Freeh's findings, which were based partly on a handful of emails among former Penn State officials, didn't acknowledge that most emails from the relevant time period weren't available due to a computer system change.
Mr. Freeh said in a statement that he respected the right of the Paterno family "to conduct public media campaigns in an effort to shape the legacy of Joe Paterno." But he called the latest report self-serving and said it didn't change the facts or conclusions of his own report. "Four of the most powerful officials at Penn State agreed not to report Sandusky's activity to public officials," Mr. Freeh said.
A Penn State spokesman didn't comment directly on the new report but said it was "understandable and appreciated that people will draw their own conclusions and opinions from the facts uncovered in the Freeh report." He said the university is implementing governance changes recommended by the Freeh report.
The Paterno family report is unlikely to put to rest controversy about the former coach, who was fired by Penn State's board of trustees shortly after charges were brought against Mr. Sandusky in November 2011. Mr. Paterno died two months later, and since then his legacy has been severely damaged as a result of the Sandusky scandal.
After Mr. Freeh's report was released, a statue of Mr. Paterno was removed from the football stadium at Penn State, and the NCAA vacated 111 of Penn State's football wins, meaning that he is no longer the winningest major college football coach.
Mr. Paterno said shortly before he died that he wished he "had done more" after hearing of the 2001 shower incident. He never addressed emails or other notes by administrators that Mr. Freeh later said indicated that he conspired to not report the incident.
Mr. Spanier has said he was unaware that the shower incident involved anything more than "horseplay," and his lawyers previously issued their own criticism of Mr. Freeh's report, calling it a "blundering and indefensible indictment." The two other administrators also have said they were unaware of child sex abuse by Mr. Sandusky. Mr. Spanier and the others officials are awaiting trial on obstruction and conspiracy, among other charges. They have maintained their innocence.
Mr. Sandusky was convicted last June on 45 counts of child sex abuse and is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence. His attorneys are planning a formal appeal.
The Paterno family report was issued by Mr. Thornburgh—who served as Attorney General from 1988 to 1991 and governor of Pennsylvania from 1979 to 1987—and former FBI profiler Jim Clemente, Washington attorney Wick Sollers and Dr. Fred Berlin, an expert on sexual abuse at Johns Hopkins University. According to their report, Mr. Freeh based his findings on "raw speculation and unsupported opinion."

Traditional Japanese Acupuncture: Fundamentals of Meridian Therapy (9780967303444)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Paperback
Meridian Therapy, the system of traditional acupuncture utilized in Japan and based on the acupuncture classics (e.g., the Su Wen, Ling Shu, and Nan Jing) is a very sophisticated treatment modality that has much to offer and much to teach to Western students, practitioners, and their patients. The authors, a group of Japan's foremost teachers and clinicians, have compiled a work that provides a wide-ranging, accurate, and detailed foundation for students learning acupuncture or for clinicians who want to expand their knowledge base. This is a most welcome work that is an important and pivotal contribution to the U.S. acculturation of classical acupuncture.
Chapter 1 covers the principles, philosophy, and history of Meridian Therapy, and Chapter 2 offers an introduction to the basics -- including Yin and Yang, Five Phases, Ki, Blood, and Fluids, and deficiency and excess. Chapter 3 contains an overview of the meridians and points, then a channel-by-channel description of channel flow, connecting vessel, divergent channel, and channel sinews for each of the 12 main channels and an explanation and description of the flow of the 8 extraordinary vessels. Chapter 4 covers the viscera -- the hollow and solid organs -- describing the nature, areas of control, functional properties, seasonal relationship, and paired organ relationship. Chapter 5 delves into the etiology of disease factors, giving details of constitutional patterns, deficiency/excess patterns, heat/cold patterns, and their combinations, and articulating endogenous factors such as emotions, fatigue, and dietary consumption and also exogenous factors of season, temperature, and weather. Chapter 6 contains a discussion of symptoms and pathology that is methodically laid out according to yin/yang-five phase-deficiency/excess patterns and paired organ and extraordinary vessel relationships. Chapter 7 covers diagnosis, beginning with the three methods of looking, listening and smelling, and questioning, then proceeding to abdominal diagnosis and patterns, back examination, and meridian palpation. Chapter 8 is entirely given over to pulse palpation, one of the most important diagnostic tools in Meridian Therapy. There are pulse diagnosis techniques for the beginning student as well as the advanced practitioner, and detailed coverage of 30 different pulse patterns and 13 different deficiency patterns. Finally, in Chapter 9, treatment strategies and procedures, point selection for root treatment (including from Chapters 69, 75, and 68 of the Nan Jing), point selection for local treatment, and different types of treatment are presented.

When saying a private portion of the service, such as pesukei de-zimra, may the shaliach tzibur (aka chazzan, or the person leading services) use English, and switch to Hebrew for the portions said aloud?

Bais Yosef rules that one may pray in any language.
Mishnah Berurah seems to suggest that one may either pray in Hebrew (whether or not he understands the words) or in any other language (but ONLY if he understands the words).
At a time when the Sha"tz was actually there to recite the prayer on behalf of the others, it might pose a problem to say most of the text in one language, and then the last line of every paragraph in Hebrew; the complete text is not being recited in either language, as one whole unit, which would seem to pose problems in fulfilling ones (or another's) obligation to pray.
Generally speaking, we do not rely on the Sha"tz to exempt others from their prayer obligations in our times. Nowadays, the Sha"tz is more symbolic than functionary. From that point of view, the Sha"tz technically doesn't have to say anything at all during the silent parts.
Based on that understanding of the Sha"tz's function in contemporary synagogues, one may indeed recite the silent parts in English, and the vocal parts in Hebrew.
However - I would caution that for kriyas shema, and for the silent shemoneh esreh, when typically the Sha"tz himself intends to fulfill his own mitzvah of kriyas shema and of tefillah, that he pick one language for the entire section and stick to it.
(Of course, one could recite all of kriyas shema in English, silently. Once he is finished with that silent recitation, he could switch to Hebrew for the vocal "Hashem Elokechem Emes" - and it wouldn't violate the concept of saying the entire section in one language, because the entire kriyas shema was already said silently before the Sha"tz recites those words out loud, to alert the congregation to move on.)

European Enlightenment: The 17th century's most read philosopher produced sharp and honest literature. Yet until today the question seems to be unanswered where he really belonged (Bayle enigma).
Wiki says he professed himself to be a Protestant.
Do you have reason to doubt this? And why would the only alternative to a Calvinist Protestant be for him to be an atheist, when there were many other Christian sects and denominations?
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy states that Bayle was considered to be a skeptic in many ways. He was engaged in theological debate his whole life, but at a time when atheists were extraordinarily rare. As a son of a priest I think it's hard to believe he was an outright atheist, but he was certainly not a devout believer. He seems to be a person that was a little ahead of his time.

Near the front of many patents there is a statement saying the work was partially or fully supported by a U.S. Government grant. Does that mean that the U.S. Government automatically owns all that IP?
Are all U.S. patents that state they were developed with support of a U.S. government grant essentially owned by the U.S?
No, under the Bayh-Dole act the law was changed to permit the grantee to own the IP but, of course any deliverables under the grant need to be provided to the granting agency. Before 1980 all IP developed with government $ belonged to the U.S. This change was made to spur the economy.

WACO (December 3, 2012)—Waco police were looking for two men Monday after a local convenience store clerk was injured in an exchange of gunfire during a robbery.
At around 9:20 p.m. Sunday, two men, one of whom was armed, entered the Snacks convenience store at 2901 North 18th St, police said.
The 48-year-old clerk, whose name wasn't released, was also armed, however, and he and the robber exchanged gunfire.
Both would-be robbers fled, police said, but the armed man returned to the store and he and the clerk exchanged gunfire for a second time and then began struggling over the weapons.
During the struggle the store clerk was struck several times with a gun in the head and face and suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, police said.
The robber escaped with the clerk's gun and an undisclosed amount of cash.
The clerk was taken to a local hospital.
The armed man was black, bald, about 5-foot-9, weighed about 210 pounds and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and tan pants.
The second man was also black and was short with a thin build. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black shorts, police said.

If someone has a subscription to a Jewish weekly or magazine or newspaper (for example: Mishpacha, Binah, Ami, Jewish Press, Yated, Hamodia, etc.) and they are supposed to deliver on a specific day of the week. For some reason it was not delivered (not a situation beyond their control) what is the magazine or papers responsibility? My question is that usually a subscription is cheaper than the store price. Can they just tell you we will extend your subscription for a week and pick it up in the store this week, or should they really reimburse you your extra cost and time of purchase?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The following is a restating of an article originally published in Hamodia and reprinted at businesshalacha.com.
Lets break this question down:
A subscription is not necessarily a contract between a buyer and seller, because under halacha, you cannot own something that has yet to exist (חושן משפט, ס' ר"ט, סע' ד). Therefore, when one purchases a newspaper or magazine subscription, one does not actually attain any ownership of the yet to be published papers/magazines. Rather, a newspaper or magazine subscription is a commitment made by the publisher to provide to the customer the newspapers that will be published in the future in return for a fee. Commitments to provide future goods are not always legally enforceable, but if the subscriber and publisher continue with this unwritten agreement, then the advanced payment made by the subscriber constitutes payment for the purchase of the goods as well as their delivery.
Ordinarily, when one has a contract to purchase an item, the contract is completed when there is a kinyan -- an exchange of the purchased property (חושן משפט, ס' קפ"ט). But lets say that Homodia typically comes to you by a delivery boy who throws a copy onto your driveway. Does that complete the transaction? Is the seller's responsibility over, no matter what happens to the paper thereafter? If the paper is thrown into a guarded area, say within a fenced yard watched over by my fearless cocker spaniel, then a kinyan would have occurred and the paper has met its responsibility (חושן משפט, ס' ר', סע' א). But if the paper was just left on the driveway, there has been no kinyan. Arguably, the paper would be responsibile to replace the paper if it was stolen from your driveway. However, it can also be argued that the paper, acting upon custom, made a delivery after throwing the paper on your driveway and had no further interest in the paper, making the paper ownerless (and by implication, fair game for anyone to pick up). As a matter of maintaining good will, the publisher should replace the missing paper, but whether it has an obligation to, is the subject of an ongoing dispute among halachic authorities. (הגות רע"א חושן משפט, ס' ק"כ, סע' א', וע' באמרי בינה הנ"ל , ןבנתיבות המשפט ס' קצ"ד, ס"ק ד)
As noted above, one cannot purchase something that doesn't yet exist, and the purchase isn't completed until delivery is properly made. Based on that, the money you fronted to the magazine/newspaper is essentially a loan for which the publisher can either repay through a refund or by giving you the magazine or newspaper you subscribed to receive. Since your contract was that payment (ie the magazine) on the loan was due as of a certain day, you can demand that you get a full refund or immediate delivery (see Rabbi Joseph Stern, "Ribis: A Halachic Anthology," § 1(F) (discussion of prepayment for services)); therefore an extension of the subscription is at your discretion, not the publisher's. I think that if they tell you to go to the store, then they have done nothing to satisfy their obligation.

@azagthoth: price drops in cart to $224.99
I recently got a 16GB Nexus 7 and love it. The 32GB version would certainly be nice for only 25 bucks more than the 16GB! Good deal.
I got the deal, thank you!! Plus the 8gb micro Sd card. I bought the 16 gb before for 199, def worth the 32gb for extra $25. You have to add the sd card to cart with nexus 7 and the price will drop, this includes free shipping as well. THanks!
I want one, but keep holding out as I save for the Nexus 10. Its difficult when I see this price and I have enough to get it right now. I already have a 7" tablet (Acer Iconia A100) and I just have to keep telling myself its good enough til I can get the Nexus 10.
You may want to stay away from mygofer. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/mygofer
@notoriousg: Agreed. Bought a 5-drawer tool organizer from them last week, came in all beat up, dented, damaged, scratches - they wouldn't let me return it or exchange it since it happened during shipping, they claimed I'd have to bring it up with UPS and get them to cover it - super annoying, since UPS tends to only deal with the shippers, not the receivers.
I though mygofer was a Sears/Kmart entity? Ordered something from Kmart Sunday night and got an email from mygofer that it was ready and I picked it up today.
@notoriousg: Glad you mentioned it. They do look pretty sketchy. I think I'll hold out for another store.
@joemcc00l: It's Sears. I've bought from them with no problems.
Looks like its out of stock for store and shipping!

The 6 Raunchiest, Most Depraved Sex Acts (From the Bible)
#3. I Thought She Was a Prostitute, But She Was My Daughter-in-Law!
Try to find all the things wrong in this passage, from Gen. 38:15-16:
You'd think the Bible would've just edited out all of the misconceptions involving veils, considering how many times people accidentally have sex with the wrong person in this book. Pesky veils, and now our only excuses are ... like ... alcohol, right, Lot?
"Odd. This feels exactly like strangling my daughter-in-law."
Of course us modern westerners probably don't realize the kind of impact a veil can have on a relationship. Our women are free to just walk around with their faces flapping in the wind, heralding their identity to the world. You have to hand it to the countries where women still wear veils: it must be a lot easier to write sitcom episodes that revolve around wacky cases of mistaken identity.
To Make it Even Weirder...
Note that the frisky femme above is the same femme (Tamar) who got to witness Onan being slain by the LORD for coitus interruptus. Getting right back on that horse, Tamar! Only instead of a horse, it's Judah--Onan's dad. Score!
If you don't think that's hot, you've ... never been to a really drunk family reunion where everyone's wearing veils and no one is aware it's a family reunion.
#2. Solomon Gives Boobies 10 Fingers Up
Solomon's Song, which he creatively titled Song of Solomon, was mostly about boobies. The below references can be seen in 1:13, and 2:6, and 4:5, and 4:16, and 5:4, and 7:7-8 . . . and 8:10... OK, the whole thing was pretty much "Titties, titties, I love titties." Take a look:
Damn. We don't know why this is in the Bible, and we don't care! If Danielle Steele wants to write songs about Solomons and throbbing members and shit, who are we to tell her no? Not Biblical scholars, that's who. If Soloman had stuck around to write the whole Bible, we might've gotten a more ripped Jesus and bodice cleavage so awesome it deserves a cinematic vehicle all its own.
The reference to women with tower-breasts has caused some confusion, though. Since we prefer a literal interpretation, we think Solomon's concubines had breasts that were three stories tall with look-out posts in the cleavage. Either way, the Bible is a bigger supporter of breasts than a push-up bra. If you don't like that, then you can be the one to explain to God why you chose to illustrate every book of the Bible except this one.
To Make it Even Weirder...
Here's a challenge: see if you can envision any possible metaphor for 5:4, "My beloved put his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him".
#1. Gods and Girls
So you'll notice that most of these are from Genesis, the early days of the Bible when apparently mankind was first experimenting with just how creepy and weird sex could get. But probably nothing in the book tops what happens in Genesis 6:4:
Just to be clear, because there is some confusion: we here at Cracked are not doctors. We know a suspicious amount of information about sex, yes, and are pithy like House, but are not technically "doctors."
However, we did take fifth grade science, which probably mentioned Gregor Mendel and his famous pea study. In case you haven't taken fifth grade science, it basically something about how ... when two things ... and then ... something about traits. Like we said, we're not doctors. We do know that the baby of an African person and a Chinese person looks kind of African and kind of Chinese; from this we can infer that the baby of a giant and a woman would look kind of like a HUGE baby.
This did not deter the women of the day, who may have gone along with the whole thing based on a preconception about giants and giant genitalia. We're guessing that didn't last long, as thresholds for pain eventually give way and even if they don't, vaginas do.
And nine months later, surprise! You're giving birth to a veritable six-year-old! Hope you've been having so much giant-sex in the meantime that your vagina is approximately as passable as a Slip N Slide, because that's going to come in handy when Junior runs out of it, already holding a Nerf ball.
To Make it Even Weirder...
This happens right before God causes the famous flood that destroys everything on the earth (except for Noah and everybody on his boat). So of all the perversions mankind has ever invented, it appears the giant sex was the one thing that was just too weird for God, to the point that everyone else had to suffer for it.
Nice going, guys.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is summoning the nation to unity and service as the country prepares to mark 10 long years since the horrors of 9/11.
A day before the anniversary commemorations, Obama paid tribute
to America's resilience and the sacrifice of its war dead.
On Saturday, the president made a pilgrimage to Arlington
National Cemetery, strolling with his wife, Michelle, among graves
filled with dead from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. And he invoked
the common purpose that arose from carnage a decade ago in telling
Americans that the nation cannot be broken by terrorism "no matter
what comes our way."
Obama also visited a soup kitchen, where he and his family
helped prepare trays of gumbo for the needy in the nation's
capital, underscoring the call to national service that rang so
loudly after the terrorist attacks.
At D.C. Central Kitchen, Obama said projects to serve the
community "are part of what the spirit of remembering 9/11's all
about -- the country being unified and looking out for one
Flight 93 victims remembered as courageous
SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton says the
crew and passengers of Flight 93 who fought the terrorists on Sept.
11, 2001 "gave the entire country an incalculable gift: They saved
the capital from attack."
Clinton, former President George W. Bush and Vice President Joe
Biden joined families of the passengers and crew today, at a
ceremony in western Pennsylvania to dedicate the first phase of a
memorial at the nation's newest national park.
Bush told the 5,000 people who attended the ceremony that the
passengers' storming of a hijacked cockpit before the plane crashed
in Shanksville, Pa., "ranks among the most courageous acts in
American history."
Unveiled at the ceremony was a Wall of Names -- a set of 40
marble slabs, each inscribed with the name of a passenger or crew
member who died. The names were read as bells tolled and Grammy
Award-winning musician Sarah McLachlan performed the song, "I Will
Remember You."
An effort has begun to raise $10 million to finish the memorial's first phase and maintain it in the future.
9/11 remembered in ceremonies worldwide
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- Commemorations marking the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are under way in the
Players from the American Eagles rugby team joined hundreds of
others Sunday morning at a memorial service in the town of New
Plymouth, New Zealand.
As people around the world plan to commemorate the day, world
leaders are sending messages of mourning and hope.
In the Philippines, President Benigno Aqiuno III praised the
heroism shown by many on 9/11. Aquino is calling on all nations and
peoples "to reaffirm their commitment to peace and stability built
on mutual respect and dialogue between cultures and religions."
South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak has sent a letter to
President Barack Obama, conveying his "deepest condolences" to
the victims of the 9/11 tragedy, their bereaved families and the
American public. Lee calls the attacks "unpardonable" and praises
the U.S. efforts to fight terrorism.
Meanwhile in the U.S., memorial services are planned for Sunday
in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pa.
College teams recognize 9/11 anniversary
UNDATED (AP) -- College football teams are remembering the 10th
anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Army cadets passed out American flags to fans before the Black
Knights' game against San Diego State on Saturday, the day before
the anniversary. A large American flag also was unfurled as part of
the tribute that included the West Point band.
In Ann Arbor, Mich., "God Bless America" was played as a
scroll of Michigan graduates who lost their lives on 9/11 was shown
on the video boards before the Notre Dame game.
The Washington Huskies wore white helmets with the American flag
embodied within the "W" on the side of their helmets against
Eastern Washington, and the "N" on Northwestern's helmets was in
the colors of the American flag.

| Billy Thinnes, Hydrocarbon Processing,
[process automation]
[next generation]
By Billy Thinnes
Technical Editor
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Invensys, a supplier of
industrial software, systems and control equipment to the
hydrocarbon processing industry, today
unveiled its next-generation process automation system. The
announcement was made at the companys annual client
conference in San Antonio, Texas.
With tools and applications
delivered across a high-speed, fault-tolerant and cyber secure
hardware platform, including the integration of the companys
Triconex safety system, the Foxboro Evo process
automation system was designed to improve operational insight
and integrity.
The three most important ways a process automation
vendor can help its customers secure their future is to protect
the operational integrity of their plants, enhance the
operational insight of its people and enable them to adapt
easily and affordably to change, said Gary Freburger,
president of Invensys systems business.
Our new Foxboro Evo system has more powerful processing
capacity and other new, advanced applications, the system
allows our customers to uncover new and hidden value from
within their operations," he added.
The Foxboro Evo process automation system evolved directly
from the Foxboro I/A Series and Triconex technology, both entrusted to
control and protect large and complex process facilities and known for their
layered architecture. The system extends this approach through
a component object-based platform, which can undergo major
upgrades without halting operations.
We needed to upgrade the vast majority of our
distributed control systems (DCS), but like most sites, we
didn't have the luxury of a site-wide shutdown to make a full
change possible, said Michael McKenzie, distributed
control systems specialist for BP in Brisbane, Australia.
We were facing a substantial obsolescence issue, which we
had ranked as a significant risk to ongoing operations, so we
needed a solution that would allow us to upgrade components as
we needed them, without sacrificing functionality or usability
for operators. The new Invensys system allowed for a much
easier upgrade of all components and will ensure that we can
keep our system well away from obsolescence, so that we're not
required to perform any additional large-scale
Because users can upgrade at their own pace, the new system
delivers a low total cost of automation and high return on
assets. Additionally, its new applications improve the ability
of plant personnel to contribute toward the success of the
business by streamlining and contextualizing the information
they need to make the right business decisions at the right
As the pace of global business accelerates, automation
technology becomes increasingly
important in helping manufacturers focus on finding more value
within their operations and automation assets, said Chris
Lyden, senior vice president for Invensys. If users in
the control room and in the field can better interpret the
growing volume and complexity of the information they receive
within the proper context of procedures and operational risk,
then they will make more valuable contributions to the
business. The Foxboro Evo system is loaded with new features
that will help them do that, and it is structured to evolve
with them as they and their companies change and
The Foxboro Evo system includes a new high-speed controller,
field device management tools, a maintenance response center, an
enterprise historian, 1-n redundancy and cyber security
hardening. Since the companys broad portfolio of
roles-based engineering tools and productivity applications are
integrated within it, the system provides visibility into
historical, real-time and predictive operating information to
help drive production efficiency.
Safety and security personnel will benefit from an
innovative coupling of control and safety, which enables
sharing of operational information while keeping the safety
system functionally isolated, as well as state-of-the-art cyber
Engineers will be able to reduce their workloads, protect
schedule integrity and reduce risk via more intuitive design
and troubleshooting features, virtualization and other flexible
Operators will gain a more complete, real-time view of plant
activity via an updated high-performance, mobile accessible
Maintenance technicians will enjoy
lower meantime between repairs via real-time device alerts and
analytics, alarm triage, performance monitoring and other
Current Foxboro I/A Series DCS users can migrate to the
Foxboro Evo system with little or no downtime, depending on
which version they are running. Users of competing process
automation systems, whose wiring terminations are still
functional, can migrate to the Foxboro Evo system without
ripping and replacing infrastructure, significantly reducing
costs and downtime, just as they were able to do with the I/A
Series system.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

We currently deliver large (1GB+) files via a single Apache server, but our Apache server is extremely disk-IO-bound and we need to scale.
My first idea was to simply duplicate this Apache server, however our file library is too big to simply horizontally scale the Apache server N-times.
So my next idea was to have two Apaches (highly-available) in the backend, each with a separate copy of our entire library.. then "N" reverse proxies in front, where "N" grows as our delivery needs grow. Each reverse proxy is very RAM heavy and has as many spindles per GB as possible. The backend Apache servers are more "archival" and low spindle-to-GB.
Is this a good architecture? Is there a better way to handle it?

Is there a way to extract a single row out of the OSM-GIS-Database (by a Query)? It would be so much easier if I could find an EER Model of the Database.
I was searching a long term and found very less information about that. So I think it would be the best to ask the pros before thinking it's impossible.

More capacity and faster transit times to be introduced by Horizon
November 15, 2010 - LM Editorial
Slow steaming on the transpacific appears to losing its cachet with some shippers, analysts and carriers report.
"As other carriers reduce service locations and slow service speeds, U.S. shippers continue to tell us they want fast and reliable service alternatives not only port-to-port, but inland to final destinations as well," Brian Taylor, Senior Vice President of International Services at Horizon Lines, said.
The statement was made as Horizon Lines, Inc. announced it will launch express intermodal container service to key inland U.S. cities when it begins the new Five Star Express (FSX) trans-Pacific liner service in December.
At a press conference in China last week, executives of the U.S. domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company announced that approximately 60 percent of the initial voyage is already subscribed, as the company continues to make steady progress toward its goal of 75 percent bookings for the first sailing.
The maiden FSX voyage is scheduled to depart Ningbo, China, on December 14, 2010, Shanghai on December 15, and arrive in Los Angeles on December 26.
"At a time when U.S. retailers are maintaining lower inventory levels and placing more logistics responsibilities on their manufacturing partners here in China, our Five Star Express service offers a fast and reliable transit schedule to keep supply chains running smoothly."
Jon Monroe, president of Monroe Consulting in Shanghai, told LM that such 3PLs have been clamoring for more alternatives on the ocean transport side.
"This region is booming," he said, "and it's only going to get bigger. We see manufacturers seeking more distribution and supply chain options."
Horizon Lines plans to offer some of the fastest inland transit times in the industry, including 15-day availability in Kansas City from Shanghai and 16-day availability in Dallas, using scheduled intermodal rail service from Los Angeles every week. The carrier also will offer express inland service to Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta and Charlotte using on-dock rail connections to avoid drayage fees on the West Coast, saving customers time and expense. Horizon Lines plans to expand the inland express network to other locations throughout the United States next year.
"We do not operate in a one-size-fits-all supply chain," Taylor said.
According to spokesmen, Horizon Lines is able to offer a cost-effective inland service because of operational synergies with the carrier's domestic U.S. shipping network serving export customers to Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. Delivering imports inland to these markets, added spokesmen, will provide a more stable supply of containers in locations where many shippers struggle to find available container capacity.

The CWC Bulldogs picked up their second straight win on the diamond Thursday, knocking off Elverado 10-0 at home.
The Bulldogs were led by the strong pitching of Jamey Steed who took the five-inning shutout win, allowing only four hits with no walks and 11 strikeouts.
Offensively, the team was led by Brodie Brown, who drove in a pair of RBIs and Andy Vaughan and Dakota Jolley, who both scored a pair of runs.
Vaughan, Dylan Rankin, Tyson Russell and Colin Winter all added doubles in the win as well.
The Bulldogs will travel today to Zeigler-Royalton to try and play a game that has been cancelled multiple times due to weather.

It was a very useful course that I wouldn't mind brushing up on periodically. Thanks for everything.
Thanks for a great course. It was just what I needed to gain more confidence in my writing. The language used in the lessons was clear and a joy to read. I liked the style of the lessons and the examples. Thanks very much. I shall miss it now that I have finished it.
Thank you for a great course. My grammar skills needed great improvement and this course really helped me.
The Grammar Refresher class exceeded my expectations. The lessons were well written and explored the material in more depth than had I expected. As a result, I was able to pinpoint problem areas in my writing. Making the corrections will be an ongoing learning process for me, and will require breaking some long established habits, but thanks to this class I now know where to start. The best part of the course was the discussion section. The teacher responded immediately to discussion questions with thoughtful, detailed answers. She was incredible! It was extremely helpful to be able to ask her to clarify troubling areas, or explain style differences.

Petco strengthens the DC network
With its new DC, the pet retailer has reduced its handling costs, bolstered its green transportation initiatives, and fortifies its overall distribution network—all while providing room to grow.
September 10, 2010 - LM Editorial
With more than 76 million cats, 62 million dogs, and 9 million aquarium owners, Americans love pets.
Over the past 45 years, Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. has built a national brand as the place where pets and their owners go, helping more animals to live long and happy lives. Today, the San Diego-based retailer has a footprint in all 50 states, with more than 1,000 stores and a growing e-commerce business.
To support the company's growth, Petco partnered with TGW Systems to design and implement the materials handling system in its new 506,000 square foot distribution center (DC) in Braselton, Ga. The facility, which went live in June 2008, services 237 stores in 13 states in the Southeastern and Southwestern U.S.

American Apparel Chose a 62 Year-Old Model for Its New Lingerie Campaign
The oft-controversial clothing company says that "Sexy Has No Expiration Date" and plans to prove it
Fast forward a couple of years and Jacky O. is now the official face -- and body -- of the company's new lingerie campaign.
READ: American Apparel Mannequins Go "Au Naturel"
Accompanied by the tag line "Sexy Has No Expiration Date," American Apparel, Friday, posted a photo of a O'Shaughnessy clad in lacy lingerie on its Facebook and Instagram pages. And, the viewing public went wild.
"Hope I age just as beautifully," "This deserves a standing ovation -- seriously, " "Stunning. Oh my goodness, she is lovely," read comments on Facebook.
And, while some folks were less laudatory, and even veered into unkind territory, they were quickly lambasted by fans of Jacky who're all for older women being hired to represent a provocative clothing line.
The brouhaha isn't lost on O'Shaughnessy, a lifelong actress, who is still adjusting to the life of a model. "I've read so many times that modeling is vapid at best," she said in an interview. "I found it to be engaging and creative. It requires energy and an ability to communicate without words."
If this first photo from the campaign is any indication, Ms. O'Shaughnessy has the whole "communicating without words" thing down pat.

Yes, there is a source: Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 69. They are doing what is known as "Perisah al haShema" whereby individuals who didn't hear Kaddish, Kedusha and Barchu can make it up with a later quorum. The details about how to do this are complicated and there are many opinions about what can and cannot be made up as well as how many of the people making up the later quorum need to have previously missed hearing those things. I highly recommend this article (starting about a quarter of the way down) which goes through many of the sources on the matter.

Neutropenia is a low level of white blood cells. Because radiation therapy and chemotherapy destroy cells that grow at a fast rate, white blood cells are often affected. Patients receiving a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy are at greater risk for neutropenia.
Since white blood cells play an important role in preventing infection, any time your white blood cell count drops, you are at higher risk of getting an infection. Since these cells also help to fight off infections once in the body, it may be harder to get over an infection when your white blood cell counts are low. Therefore, you need to take precautions to decrease the chance that you will become infected while receiving treatment.
Normal white blood cells counts are usually in the range of 4,000 - 11,000 per mm3 of blood. While receiving radiation therapy, your white count may drop to lower levels. Your white blood cell count will be checked periodically throughout the course of your treatments to monitor your white count.
Any time that your white blood cell count drops below 1,000 per mm3, you will be considered to be neutropenic. Should this happen, a nurse will review with you special steps that you must take in order to decrease the chance that you will get an infection. These neutropenic precautions are discussed below.
Since white blood cells are destroyed as a side effect of chemotherapy, there is nothing specifically that you can do to prevent neutropenia from occurring. Nonetheless, there are several things that you can do to reduce your risk of getting an infection when your white blood cells are low:
Taking action at the first signs of infection can help prevent it from spreading and getting worse. There are several signs and symptoms of infection that you should look for, including:
Perform excellent daily personal hygiene.
Avoid situations that will increase your chance of getting an infection.
Use extra precautions to decrease the chance of injury and infection.
If you cut or scrape the skin, clean the area immediately with soap and water and bandage as necessary.
If your white blood cell count drops to 1,000 per mm3 or below, you are considered to be neutropenic. Until your count rises, it will be necessary for you to take additional measures to further decrease your risk for infection.
These are referred to as "neutropenic precautions" and include:
Even if you have taken great care to prevent an infection, you may still become infected. If any of the following signs or symptoms of infection occur, call your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not take any medications, even aspirin or other products to lower your temperature, before talking to your doctor.
Call your doctor if you have any one or more of the following:
One of the most significant advances in the past decades has been the development of "growth factors," which stimulate the body's production of specific substances. One growth factor stimulates the growth of white blood cells and is used frequently with cancer patients, especially those receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. By increasing your body's production of white blood cells, this growth factor can decrease your risk of developing an infection.
Growth factors are administered by injection. You may receive the injections from the radiation oncology nurse or you and/or a family member may be taught how to give the injections at home. Once your white blood cell count has returned to a normal level, the injections will be stopped.
If you develop an infection, your doctor will order medications to treat it. Depending on the cause and severity of the infection, the medications may be given either by mouth or through a vein using an intravenous (IV) catheter. If you require IV medications, you may be able to remain at home and have the medications administered by specially trained nurses. Some patients require admission to the hospital in order to effectively treat their infection.
If necessary, your oncologist may decide to delay further treatments until your white blood cell count has returned to normal levels and/or you are free of infection.

Used Chicken of the Sea boneless, skinless salmon. Lovely texture, no "grey matter". Made sauce with low fat sour cream, out of yoghurt, but will try next time.
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.

I doubled the recipe but felt it needed one more egg for the double batch. Probably depends on the bread crumbs, plus I used smaller eggs. This were still great warmed up in the microwave. Just added a squeeze of fresh lemon before adding a dollop of sauce.
I especially loved the sauce and felt the yogurt makes it even better. I'm considering baking up a batch and then freezing them, thinking they could be thawed in the microwave, then finished up in a skillet. Maybe mini ones on a toothpick with the sauce would make a good appetizer as well.
I really want to try this recipe and am just beginning to live without gluten in my diet. Could someone recommend to me how I could prepare these without the breadcrumbs?

My husband and I are always looking for ways to integrate more fish into out diets, and canned salmon is an economical, easy way to do it. If you can get over the canned salmon looks, you can acutally just crush up the bones and skin and eat everything that comes out of the can - more calcium for you. I used fat free plain greek yogurt for the sauce because that's what I had in the fridge and it made the sauce super creamy. Sauce definitely makes the cakes. Yum.
I had no idea how gross canned salmon is. Picking through it to get the bones out is not for the weak of stomach. But if you can get past that icky bit, this recipe is really good, and so is the dill sauce! (P.S. All I had was prepared breadcrumbs and it worked great. Also I cooked & baked the patties in the same large cast iron pan.)

You can buy smaller cans of skinless & boneless salmon, but you will use 2 cans which makes 6 instead of 8 patties. Also, if you have kitties, give them the juice, skin & bones, they love it & it's good for them.

Why is cooking in oil or fat considered dry heating, while cooking in wine is considered moist heating?
Oil is dry heat because oil contains no water. Wine does.
The "moist" in moist heat really means water. In moist heat cooking, water acts as a solvent and actually dissolves much of the solid matter in the food - hence the reason why steaming and boiling tend to make food rather soft or even soggy.
Oil, on the other hand, is very rarely a solvent. There are certain food compounds that are fat-soluble, but most are water-soluble and oil, being hydrophobic, actually blocks any contact with water, thus preventing any dissolution, and generally making the food crispier as well as promoting the Maillard reaction (which can only occur with dry heat, due to the low boiling point of water).
It may seem counterintuitive, but oil isn't wet. It just looks that way.
To build on Aaronut's answer, one issue with cooking in a "moist" environment is that it limits the temperature.
In dry-heat cooking, such as roasting, searing, frying, grilling, etc., the flavor from the Maillard reaction (to which Aaronut alluded) is a very important result.
In moist cooking, such as braising, poaching, steaming, etc., the temperature cannot (with the exception of pressure cooking, but there are other issues there) rise high enough to allow your meat to become browned. You can also have flavor and nutrient loss, as well as texture issues.
Consider a steak, for example. Whether it is pan-seared or grilled, it will be browned on the outside. Imagine if, instead, it was boiled. Personally, I would not want to eat that gray lifeless mass of meat.
Or another example: french fries. You can put potatoes in hot oil, and you get a crispy delicious snack. Drop them in boiling water, and you get.. boiled potatoes?
This isn't to say there is no value in moist cooking; just to illustrate the difference between moist and dry.

This question stems from this other one mentioning 7 ways of constructing smooth manifolds. I quote:
At the 2010 Clay Research Conference, Gromov explained that we know of only 7 different methods for constructing smooth manifolds.[...]
- Algebraic geometry (affine and projective varieties, ...)
- Lie groups (homogeneous spaces, ...)
- General position arguments (Morse theory, Pontryagin-Thom construction, ...)
- Solutions to PDE (Moduli spaces in gauge theory, Floer theory, ...)
- Surgery (Cut and paste techniques, ...)
- Markov processes
- [and also bundles seems to be the consensus in the answers to the cited question]
Note that all of these methods are actually areas of mathematics in their own right (five of the six listed in that question involve trailing dots), so that got me thinking that 7 methods is actually a sign of a rich subject and a fairly ubiquitous concept. I have trouble comparing this to anything else: e.g., would you say that there are fewer ways to build a group? I don't know nearly enough about groups to answer that one. So here's my question:
Do you know of an abstract math construct that can be built in truly more than seven ways?
I realize that this is somewhat in the eye of the beholder (hence the soft question tag) since it may not be obvious where to draw the line between methods. But for the comparison to make sense, you need to consider broad categories like Gromov does.

Edison levy deserves a 'no'
January 27, 2013
To the editor: If you are in the Edison Local School District and you voted "no" on the 9.45-mill levy in November, you better be sure you get to the polls on Feb. 5 and vote "no" again....
We're sick of more taxes...bottom line. More school levies around here have little to do with better ed. for our children. It's just to line the pockets of county cronys and their contractor buddies. As far as sympathy for teachers, agreed, you've got one of the best gigs going around this area. Decent salary, schedule and plenty of vacation. Teachers can legitimately gripe about kids today, and their parents but that's about it. The rest of us who went to school as long as you and don't have the luxury of a govt. job with all your benifits do not want to hear you whine.

GTFC, I'm glad that you respect the taxpayer. If the district did the same, they'd understand that not everyone has guranteed job with a large salary. That a large tax increase may really hurt a family's budget. How about getting a measure on the ballot that would not burden just property owners.

GTFC, that teacher was whining to a degree. Their job is not difficult and they are paid well and do not have to deal with the weather or potentially hazardous conditions. Teachkids fails to realize that they are almost impossible to fire for any reason, including producing a substandard product. If you have one of the good paying jobs around here (Timet, the mill, power plant, Walmart, railroad, hospital, etc.) You might go to work tomorrow and return home unemployed, or knowing you will be unemployed shortly. I could have been a teacher but I did not want a job that I am not allowed to do. Preparing kids to take a state issued exam is not teaching. Teaching kids the principles of our Constitution and founding fathers, or figuring out how much lumber to do a project is. I do not live in the Edison district my parents and many friends do. I do know what happens if it passes, I live in Toronto and pay for my non-taxpaying neighbor's kids to goto a new school.

Moteman-Check the county board of elections website. There are THREE board seats up in November. My facts are correct. There were two up last election. No one is trying to punish the taxpayers. The State of Ohio law states how schools are funded. The districy is just playing by the rules. RPG-Wow. The teacher didnt whine about how bad they have it. They were just advising you the facts. In such, you could have had their job if you would have went to school to be a teacher. I appreciate every teacher, student, taxpayer, etc in this district. We just disagree. We will see what happens on Tuesday and go from there. Stay well my friends.

It is almost impossible to get rid of you if you do a substandard job, get arrested, or cunduct yourself in an unprofessional manner (not saying you do, and not saying everyone does a great job either). You also have a guranteed retirement plan. The rest of us have to cover our six, and make sure we are financially secure after our working years have passed. My point is this: you ain't got a bad gig, the sooner you realize that other people's lives are not all sunshine and rainbows, the better.

Teachkids, no doubt you are a teacher. Many, just like you whine about how bad you have it. Let's consider this aspect if you teach around here. If the parents of your students are fortunate enough to have a good job, they put in overtime, work double shifts, and spend many many more hours working in grease, mud, cold, heat, and around machines that can kill them than you spend in a climate controlled room grading papers, sipping coffee, and typing your thesis. When your property taxes increase, many of you band together and say in a collective voice "pay us more or your kids will graduate a year later." When our property taxes increase we have to put in more hours, spend more time away from our kids, or buy our kids less Christmas gifts. So, yes, I guess in a roundabout way you are a glorified babysitter. Why? Because we'd gladly do that job, but we have to pay your salary.

GTFC your screen name is not true for one. Only two board seats are open this Nov. One is a guy whose first thought was to get the football field artificial grass. This says it all.
You took a screen name because everyone else does. That is so lame. I'll give the standard response, If someone jumped off a bridge would you jump too?
I just can't believe these so called educated people in the school district can't grasp a simple thing like , The people in the district are hurting many living on a fixed income and can't afford for their property taxes go up to this ridiculous level when the county keeps raising them every 6 month too. Get your money in a more fair way and don't punish the people that own property.Maybe tax Walmart distribution center or get some money off the people that got the big bucks from fracking.

What will Edison get with the new School Funding proposal from Gov. Kasich?
The plan ensures that the first 20 mills of local property tax generate the same as a district with a $250,00 per student property tax base.
E*** Valuation = $312,125,400 E*** students = 1,985 Valuation per student = $157,242 Edison tax revenue on 20 mills at valuation of $312,125,400 is $6,242,508. Proposed tax revenue on 20 mills at $250,000 per student is $9,825,000. (250000 * 1985 students = valuation of $491,250,000) $491,250,000 / 1000) * 20 = $9,825,000 Under the Kasich plan Edison would receive additional state funding of $3,582,492.

Now here is the math: My total hours worked in my nine months in school amounts to 2,230, not including professional development which, for the sake of ease I will not include. Now lets take a look at your average 40 hour a week person. 40 hours per week time 52 weeks is 2,080 hours...a whopping 150 hours less than me. But wait, I didnt count my vacation so I cant count the average persons either so lets take two weeks away. That brings us to 2,000 hours. I am pretty sure that if I had those hours, I wouldnt be criticizing those that do and commenting about how undeserving they are. You see, the problem is that people like you view people like me as little more than a babysitter. Problem is, can you find a babysitter with a Masters Degree or more to care for your child for minimum wage?

RPG: You said "The rest of us without 35 hr a week government jobs don't have the luxury of demanding pay raises." Well, lets take a look at that statement a little more closely. I arrive at school at 6:30 am each morning and leave at 5:00 each evening. That is 10.5 hours last time I calculated, which when multiplied by 5 comes out to 52.5 hours. Then, after I eat dinner, I work on some lessons or grade some papers or do some work for one of the classes that I take to keep my license. Lets be modest and add an hour an evening for that, which takes my total up to 57.5 hours per week. Now someone like you will argue that I get summers off so it all averages out. So lets look there also. I spend 8 hours per day for two weeks after the end of the year and 8 hours per day for two weeks before the beginning of the year, which amounts to another 160 hours total. Now here is the math: My total hours worked in my nine months in school amounts to 2,230, not including profes

Please stop you crying about this levy. We pay social security, Medicare, federal , state, local, sales taxes and proprerty taxes. Because our generations screwed up do not let the next generation receive the raw end of the deal. If these youngsters can reap the benefit of my portion of the American dream so be it!!!! The school board represents the children NOT THE ADULTS. I personally could care less about the adults and your bickering. The local economy is not in the spitter the problem is lack of higher paying jobs above min. wage. The country wants to arm the teachers? Then they deserve more. You want to save money buy one less gun or box of shells. Or better yet give it to the teachers. Support the levy.

RPG- I understand your concern and I dont think the teachers are any better than you. Moteman-As I said before I can guarantee you that board members DO think for themselves. They justt dont happen to agree with you. Thats ok, this is America. You have the right to your opinion and they have the right to theirs. As for me being under a screen name, I figure why not. If you can do it, so can I. I was just tired of the same people on here bashing the district so I decided to support it. Once again, there are three board seats up in November, love to have you run. Once again, I appreciate everyones input and dont mind having a conversation based on facts. I encourage everyone to vote on Tuesday, express your opinion. It it fails or passes so be it.

GTFC, I am a college grad. I had $20k in student loans that I paid off what makes them better than me? My point is that if taxes and therefore the cost of living increases, teachers will just demand a pay raise next time they are up for a new contract. The rest of us do not have that option.

GTFC why does every one resort to the same lame statements when they don't have a rebuttal to anther's statements or arguments.
Teachers went to school for a few years so they deserve more??? You hide behind a screen name kind of like you are doing GTFC? Do you know the meaning of the word hypocrite?
I also went to school to learn my trade. In fact I never stopped going to school for the 30 plus years I worked. So can I demand that the school district spend MY money in a more productive way? I won't vote for a levy until that happens. Also while hiding behind this screen name i feel that the school board works for the voters and I won't vote for a school board member that rubber stamps what the school administration wants. I won't vote for a board members who can't think for themselves. That kind of board member is not needed.
Get out to vote Tue. and Vote NO!!!!

I value everyones opinon on here and I guess will just agree to disagree. I know for a fact board members dont make a huge salary and dont do it for the money. The teachers and administartors also go to school for 4-8 years depending on the college degrees they obtain. Many of them take student loans out to obtain their degrees. Higher education leads to higher paying jobs. Those are the facts. In addition, there are many supporters of the levy in the district. As I have saide before, everyone knows the name of the board members and are welcome to come to a meeting. No one knows who the people are on here hiding behind their account names. Please feel free to run for school board next time. You all have the answers.

GTFC I ask you what is a representive gov.? We vote for a school board and theynanswer to the voters when they are up for reelection. I don't care how you vote,but I will not vote for any of the incumbent school board members. They won't come forward and tell the voters how they stand on a levy that had been turned down three times. i only regret that three of the members are not up for re election for a few years. GTFC I just got my property tax bill and it went up over a hundred bucks with out the levy. Why can't people get it through their heads the area is depressed and can't afford being fleaced by a school district that refuses to do what is right for the property owners and only care about their extravagant salaries.

Yes, the district has made cuts.. mainly through attrition and the fact that the district was overstaffed... It is not the "Revenue" side of the balance sheet that needs fixed.... If this levy passes the district has said it will only last 5 years... That is not acceptable for a 38% increase in taxes.... What will the district be doing in the next 5 years to solve the out of control escalation in the "Expense" side of the balance sheet? The district has indicated they have made Million in cuts since 2005, yet the actual expenses for the district are (2010 - $18,776,924, 2011 - $19,501,647, 2012 - $ 18,453,231) and the budgeted expnses are (2013 = $18,820,000, 2014 - $19,476,000, 2015 - $20,237,000, 2016 - $21,062,000) (you can see these at h t t p : / / w w w .edisonlocal.k12.oh.us/Downloads/5yrforcastfy2013.pdf
I believe the voters need this question answered by the BOE before this levy is approved...

GTFC, You say they have cut, and cut, and cut. That is what happens when budgets are tight. The property owners around here have tight budgets, why should they be the ones forced to carry the load for everyone? Are they not important? Why should they be FORCED to make cuts so that others do not have to? How about having the teachers take a pay cut so that all of us can share in the misery? You know as well as I do that if taxes increase the teachers just demand more money. The rest of us without 35 hr a week government jobs don't have the luxury of demanding pay raises.

Moteman, Once again I disgree with you. The voters elect school board members to make the best decisons for the school district. The board members must do what they think is right. I praise the Herald Star for endorsing the levy and congratulating the administrators, teachers, staff and board members for what they have been able to accomplish in the past four years without much support. Read the article, the facts are correct. They have cut, cut and cut.

I know that board meetings are held, and I agree that voters should know the issues before heading to the polls. However, I disagree with the levy. People are taxed out, the local economy is in the spitter, yet the school district keeps putting a measure on the ballot that would increase people's taxes when their budgets are already stretched to the limit.

Wow. The same people are on here complaining every time a levy is up for a vote. The school board has montly meetings that everyone is free to attend where the levy was discussed and passed to be put back on the ballot. In addition, the superintendent was on News 9 about it. You all complained when the supporters in the disrict went door to door and conducted a massive campaign. Now you complain because they are not campaigning. The school board has done their due dilligence. As a voter it is your responsiblity to know what is on the ballot. Dont blame someone else. In addition, most money in any school district or business goes to salaries and benefits. That is not anything new. The school board was elected by the voters to make decisions that are in the best interest of the district and students. They have cut and cut. The only way to bring more money into the district is by a levy. That is how the state funding works. You may not be happy with it, but the facts are the facts.

Are abuse cases and misuse cases for security the same? From what I have read in various sites, they appear to be same, but no where is it mentioned that they are same. Please clarify my doubt.
Sign up

While I agree in the main with Tom77's answer. From a security perspective abuse/misuse lead to the same consequences.
However I would also suggest that misuse cases should be used as inputs to ongoing design and implementation reviews. Try to reduce the possibility of misuse. If the user can accidentally misuse the system then they will also have a lowered user satisfaction experience.
Yes, pretty much.
I think "abuse" suggests more malice than "misuse", but they both amount to people doing things with your software that they shouldn't be allowed to.
There is still ambiguity between the words. A quick Google search for "abuse case testing" brings up this which states:
I agree that abuse cases are a subset of misuse cases. I also agree that abuse cases contain more malice as Tom77 suggested.
But if a line has to be drawn and a definition given:
Abuse cases are destructive, and only an extremely small percentage of users will have that mentality, so a lot of times I've found that managers decide to fix them last, if at all.
Misuse cases, on the other hand, actually go about and help improve the quality of the system, and I've found that issues found during this process are fixed relatively quickly, or marked as change requests / enhancements to be fixed in the near future (which goes in addition to what Steve mentioned earlier).
