Following Friday's firebombing attack, Kornfein said he feared for his life.
Four members of the group were charged with anti-Muslim chanting and most were prevented from entering the game.
Their typical stronghold in the eastern wing was empty — punishment the team received for one of the wayward fans' previous outbursts.
Still, not all those at the stadium were pleased with the new arrivals.
Tal Moyal, a hardcore 22-year-old fan who insists he was not a "La Familia" member, said the current battle was a "war over the principles of the team."
"As far as most of the fans are concerned, a Muslim is a terrorist," he said. "We are the capital of Israel. This team is a symbol. Muslims can't wear our uniforms."
"La Familia" was created in 2005, and it quickly became the team's loudest and most visible supporters. The fans routinely wave huge flags of the outlawed racist Kach party and chant racist slogans toward Arab players.
Their behavior has drawn a cascade of condemnations from Israel's president on down.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened his weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday with a call for fans to reject racism.
"The last thing we want, and which we absolutely reject is violence, racism and boycotts. These are unacceptable to us. I say this in regards to a team that I have supported for years, Beitar Jerusalem," Netanyahu said. "Lately, we have seen displays of extremism that we find unacceptable. These must be uprooted from the public sphere and, of course, from the world of sports."
Beitar Jerusalem, which has won six league championships and seven cup titles in its 77-year history, is a powerhouse in Israeli soccer and has a legendary following that includes several Israeli prime ministers.
The team has historically been strongly aligned with Israel's nationalist right wing and its name, Beitar, comes from the Zionist youth movement that is linked to the ruling Likud Party.
The team and its fans have since been a steady source of support for Likud politics and a string of politicians have served as team chairman. Prime ministers with Likud roots — from Ariel Sharon to Ehud Olmert to Netanyahu — have called themselves fans and made pilgrimages to the club's Teddy Stadium.
Olmert recently said he would stop attending games because of the fans' racism. On Sunday, he joined other top Israeli officials, former players and notable fans of Beitar in signing a petition against racism that was published in Israel's main newspapers.

VANCOUVER, BC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/19/12 -- ActiveState, whose software enables developers and enterprises to innovate from code to cloud, today announced that Stackato, the application platform for creating a private Platform as a Service (PaaS), now supports Heroku buildpacks. The new feature enables Heroku public cloud customers to experience the same ease of use with a private PaaS and to easily extend or move their app environments to a private cloud.
Heroku calls upon buildpacks -- scripts typically stored in an online hosting service like GitHub -- to configure its cloud platform to host specific applications and frameworks. Stackato can now use those same buildpack scripts for application deployment. This means that enterprises or developers who use Heroku can switch to a Stackato private PaaS without having to create new scripts or recode existing apps. Stackato is the first Cloud Foundry-based PaaS solution to offer this compatibility.
"Cloud computing is about choice," said Bart Copeland, CEO at ActiveState. "We're working to make it easier for Heroku customers to do what's right for their businesses. Apps that run on Heroku now run on Stackato. We've lowered switching costs, giving Heroku customers flexibility in an environment dictated by vendor lock-in. They can stay within Heroku's public PaaS boundaries, or they can migrate easily to a more-secure Stackato private PaaS."
With this move, ActiveState is targeting developers and enterprises that have outgrown their Heroku public clouds. Organizations will evolve from Heroku to Stackato because they need tighter control, portability in times of service disruption, better regulatory compliance (as in the example of data sovereignty mandates for international subsidiaries), and stronger data security than a public, shared multi-tenant cloud architecture can provide.
"We built this capability because customers demanded it," Copeland said. "Growing enterprises want more privacy, stability, oversight and control than a public PaaS can ultimately deliver. Stackato lets Heroku customers customize their cloud environments to incorporate private PaaS, effectively securing each of their individual applications within its own Stackato container."
Stackato is the application platform for creating a private PaaS. From the desktop to the datacenter, Stackato makes it easy to develop, deploy, migrate, scale, manage and monitor applications in any cloud environment. In addition to Heroku buildpack support, its most recent update includes support for persistent file systems, user group administration and an advanced app store framework.
About ActiveState (http://www.activestate.com)
ActiveState empowers innovation from code to cloud smarter, safer, and faster. ActiveState's cutting-edge solutions give developers and enterprises the power and flexibility to develop in Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, Node.js, PHP, Tcl, and more. Stackato is ActiveState's groundbreaking application platform for creating a private platform as a service (PaaS), and is the cost-effective, secure, and portable way to develop and deploy apps to the cloud. ActiveState is proven for the enterprise: More than two million developers and 97% of Fortune-1000 companies use ActiveState's end-to-end solutions to develop, distribute, and manage their software applications. Global customers like Cisco, CA, HP, Bank of America, Siemens, and Lockheed Martin look to ActiveState to save time, save money, minimize risk, ensure compliance, and reduce time to market.

As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

El Plan de Area Local del Condado de Sonoma (SELPA) es una asociación obligatoria del estado que supervisa y facilita los servicios educativos para los estudiantes con discapacidades en el condado de Sonoma.
SEIS does not delete anything off the IEP when the IEP is affirmed, instead they carry over all the information. This is done so a teacher can reference what they did at the last IEP as they go to prep for their next IEP.
Here is how the IEP process works:
Two Sonoma County speech and language therapists have completed an intensive training program to become specialists in Selective Mutism.
Districts and schools in California have switched to a new statewide assessment system. The assessments focus on California Common Core Standards and are administered through a computerized testing system developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). Learn about Common Core Standards and the SBAC assessment by visiting SELPA's Common Core/SBAC page or by visiting the SCOE SBAC page.

TORONTO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- Asigra Inc., a leading Cloud Backup, Recovery and Restore (BURR) software provider since 1986, today unveiled Asigra Cloud Backup v12. Now the first and only backup solution to backup all enterprise data into a single consolidated repository, Cloud Backup v12 breaks new ground with cloud application support (SaaS and PaaS), industry-leading mobile endpoint support, advanced virtual disaster recovery for VMware environments and anytime/anywhere data recovery across the enterprise.
Click to Tweet: @Asigra V12 Breaks New Ground with First Enterprise-class Cloud-to-Cloud Backup & Recovery Solution #cloud #backup- http://bit.ly/RWMY3A
What's New in Asigra Cloud Backup v12:
- Cloud-to-Cloud Backup -- The latest generation software from Asigra redefines cloud backup with enterprise-class support for cloud application data. As an example, Asigra Cloud Backup now protects the complete Salesforce.com database, including accounts, contacts, leads, campaigns, and custom objects. When recovery is required, users have the option of recovering just the data or can recover both the schema and data. Users retain control of their Salesforce.com backup data and maintain security with AES 256 encryption in-flight and at-rest.
- Anytime - Anywhere - Any Device Recovery -- Asigra Cloud Backup v12 is the industry's first and only solution with the ability to backup and recover all enterprise data into a single repository. This includes the most comprehensive range of endpoint target coverage, including support for Windows, Linux and Mac desktops and laptops, Android/iPad tablets, iPhones, and Android smartphones. Enhancements include support for non-rooted Android devices for complete recovery of call logs, settings, applications, SD card data, calendar, alarm clock settings, music, SMS/MMS communications, bookmarks, photos and videos. With powerful recovery performance options, users are now able to recover any data to any location or device -- immediately if required.
- High-performance Snapshot Support -- Support for snapshots is also included in version 12, delivering more value by leveraging existing storage hardware investments. New capabilities include quick and efficient protection of large data sets (Big Data) using storage snapshots and a no-cost snapshot manager interface to catalog, configure and manage snapshots.
- Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery -- Protection against virtual machine failures with backup copies of VMs and instant activation of backup copies. Remote site protection is provided with backup of VMs to offsite data center(s) with continued business operations as data is recovered to primary site.
Asigra Customer, Partner and Product Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/AsigraVideos
Asigra Cloud Backup is a secure, single end-to-end data protection software suite to protect data across physical, virtualized, endpoint and cloud operating environments. The hardware and software agnostic solution can be deployed as a public, private and hybrid cloud either as enterprise software or leveraged as a backup service through managed service providers (MSPs). Asigra's device coverage includes storage, servers, desktops and the broadest range of mobile endpoint devices including laptops, tablets and smartphones. The solution is ideal for SMBs and enterprises challenged with compliance concerns where data security is assured with NIST FIPS 140-2 certification.
Expanding the Recovery Services Opportunity for MSPs
Version 12 expands the total addressable market for service providers with the ability to recover data regardless of where it lives. With OS, device and application agnostic recovery, a customer's need to manage and maintain multiple data recovery solutions comes to an end. Now service providers can recover all data when and where it is needed with a single software technology. Backup service providers Powered by Asigra will also be able to meet and exceed demanding recovery time objectives (RTOs) with multiple options to protect and recover data, including file or image based recovery, snapshots and virtual disaster recovery. Beyond a highly differentiated product offering, Asigra delivers value beyond software for MSPs/CSPs with comprehensive marketing support, up-sell/cross-sell opportunities, zero channel conflict, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and industry-leading margins for the channel.
For more than 26 years, Asigra has remained 100 percent focused on its community of service providers (SPs), who deliver services Powered by Asigra or sell the software for private or hybrid-cloud deployment to their end customers. The company is committed to helping its partners become more agile and profitable by automating many of the manual management processes common with alternative technologies to reduce the cost of deployment, maintenance, license management and allocation of data recovery services.
Industry Quotes
- David Farajun, CEO, Asigra, Inc.:
"An advanced solution for the consolidated backup of physical, virtual, endpoint and cloud environments is here. Asigra Cloud Backup v12 is a powerful and encompassing data recovery technology that allows users to completely centralize all backup operations for the ultimate in confidence and control. This is essential for service providers who seek a competitive advantage while minimizing capital and operational costs and Asigra delivers on all counts."
- Dave Russell, Research Vice President, Gartner
"The cloud delivery model for backup/recovery is increasingly being considered for enterprise recovery requirements -- especially for desktop/laptops and remote offices, and for some organizations that are seeking tapeless implementations(1).Technology providers that stake a claim in this area will be able to provide real value that fills a gap in the IT services mix."
- Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)
"Nearly half of all IT environments are looking to the cloud for part of their data protection strategy. With even more companies of all sizes moving towards production services in the cloud (SaaS), technology providers who can offer a complete solution that protects customers' on-premise servers, endpoint devices and cloud-services are in a great position. Those that enable regional cloud providers and local channel partners to offer new services and value to their SMB customers are even better placed. Asigra meets all of those descriptions."
- Steve Evans, IT Director, OnDemand Recovery
"The new virtual disaster recovery offering further accelerates Asigra past comparable solutions, increasing the breadth and depth of the solution. Increasingly demanding service level agreements (SLAs) is the trend we see from end-customers and v12 delivers the functionality we need to meet the most pressing customer challenges."
- Tom Dugan, President & CEO, Recovery Networks
"Asigra Cloud Backup v12 will provide us with increased competitive advantage in a market littered with management-heavy point products that are limited in scope and value. The new features bring enterprise features to organizations of all sizes for increased recovery performance and protection depth."
Pricing and Availability
Asigra Cloud Backup v12 is available exclusively through Asigra Hybrid Partners. Pricing is available upon request.

Nuclear Weapons:
Technology Development Efforts for the Uranium Processing Facility

What GAO Found
GAO has identified five additional risks since its November 2010 report ( GAO-11-103 ) associated with using new technologies in the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Uranium Processing Facility (UPF), which is to be built in three interrelated phases. These risks and the steps that NNSA is taking to address them include the following:
Technology integration risks . An August 2013 UPF independent peer review team concluded that the microwave casting technology—a process that uses microwave energy to melt and form uranium into various shapes—has not been demonstrated in a relevant environment, which is a requirement to reach a key technology maturity milestone. To address this risk, NNSA officials said they plan to accelerate the procurement and environmental testing of a microwave casting prototype.
Technology development risks . A key insulation material planned as a nuclear safety control during uranium casting failed a series of performance tests in fiscal year 2013. According to UPF contractor representatives, this risk is now the project's most significant technological risk. To address this risk, these representatives said they are trying to identify a replacement insulation material and exploring the use of a different safety control.
Technology transition risks . NNSA is currently evaluating an alternative technology to the UPF's baseline uranium purification technology, which has been under development since 2005. The alternative technology may generate less radioactive waste and may be more efficient to operate than the baseline technology. If NNSA switches technologies, NNSA officials said that the UPF contractor (1) will have to redesign the processing area and equipment; (2) may have to add utilities; and (3) will have to revise the UPF's nuclear safety analysis, creating the potential for further project risks.
Performance assurance risks . NNSA stopped development efforts on a key machining technology, which is part of the UPF's second phase. As a result, NNSA may not have optimal assurance that the technology will work as intended before starting construction. However, in January 2014, NNSA began (1) reevaluating alternatives to the UPF that may not include machining operations and (2) developing a uranium infrastructure strategy, which is a framework for how NNSA will maintain all uranium capabilities into the future. It is too soon to determine if the draft uranium strategy, scheduled to be issued in April 2014, will outline actions to address this risk.
Funding risk . Instead of using UPF project funds, NNSA has primarily funded UPF technology development activities from a limited research and development program. As a result of budget constraints in this program, for fiscal year 2014, 7 of the 19 technology projects the UPF contractor considered priority were not funded. Per a corrective action plan recently developed, the UPF Assistant Project Manager for Technology is responsible for determining which technology development activities should be funded directly with UPF project funds and is to prepare a cost estimate for those activities. This official said he expects to complete these estimates in March 2014.
Why GAO Did This Study
NNSA conducts enriched uranium activities—including producing components for nuclear warheads and processing nuclear fuel for the U.S. Navy—at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee. NNSA has identified key shortcomings in the Y-12 plant's current uranium operations, including rising costs due to the facility's age. In 2004, NNSA decided to build a more modern facility—the UPF—which will use nine new technologies that may make enriched uranium activities safer and more efficient.
In November 2010, GAO reported on the UPF and identified risks associated with the use of new technologies ( GAO-11-103 ). The Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act mandated that GAO assess the UPF quarterly. This is the third report, and it assesses (1) additional technology risks, if any, since GAO's November 2010 report and (2) NNSA's actions to address any risks. GAO reviewed NNSA and contractor documents and interviewed NNSA officials and contractor personnel.
GAO is not making any new recommendations. However, NNSA should continue actions to address the two recommendations—which NNSA generally agreed with—in GAO's November 2010 report related to ensuring that technologies reach optimal levels of maturity prior to critical project decisions. In commenting on a draft of this report, NNSA said its current technology maturation guidance is adequate.

I was at the park today and was wondering what the record for most valid FastPasses in one day is for one park. I've gotten 3 max, but I've never tried for more.
I was at the park today and was wondering what the record for most valid FastPasses in one day is for one park. I've gotten 3 max, but I've never tried for more.
I've gotten around 7 I think. Especially on Astro Blasters which gets a long line sometimes but the fastpasses are out only 45 minutes.
I've never gotten FPs just for the heck of getting FPs, but on an 8am - midnight operating day, I'm pretty sure you could get 10+
8 is the most I've done, although I have also done 7 twice.
Love WoC!!!
Next DL trip: August 2011
"What do you mean we can't get rid of those weeds in time? Then go over there and put some fancy signs with Latin names in front of them."
-Walt Disney
Three different days I've gotten sixteen between Disneyland and DCA (using the non-linked machines) and used them all.
I know if I wanted to bad enough, I could break twenty.
Of course we had a group of 12 so that was 192 total... my fastpass holder died.
St. Elizabeth, Patron Saint of Themed parks. Protect us from break downs, long lines, and used gum. Amen.
"Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when people are watching" - Dogbert
On a slow day that I visited, I was able to pick up four Fastpasses on a 10:00 opening by 11:50. Since I quickly realized how lucky I was and that they weren't going to have long lines all day, my group just picked up one more after that to have one from each ride that we did.
For both parks? Like 8 or 9.
-JackDoc Brown had 2 Deloreans!
Probably 10 plus easy ... but I never kept track.
We recently got 9 for the 18 rides (including multiple trips on the same ride), but that was for both parks combined.
Arriving a little after opening on a somewhat crowded day at Disneyland only, you can get at least one Fastpass for every attraction that offers one, but you'd have to go after less-desirable rides like Roger Rabbit and Big Thunder multiple times if you wanted to maximize the number of Fastpasses you collected. Of course those rides have periods where you don't even need a Fastpass so there isn't much point in getting them.
For a reasonable plan, I'd say you could get maybe 5 before lunch (let's say Splash, Indy, Roger Rabbit, Space, Buzz). After lunch you definitely could get them for Big Thunder and Star Tours, and probably Indy, but Space and Splash run out fairly early.
As others have said, you can get more if DL isn't crowded, but then you wouldn't need them.
I have done about over 35 fast passes in one day.
When a family member doesn't want it I use it.

A drink with jam and bread
... It was the consistency of warm butter, but sweet. The more jam you spread on top, the better. Some people chose to eat the halves separately and some fold the halves together to eat like a sandwich. All we were missing was tea. Our feet are getting sore. I'm seriously considering paying for a professional massage when I arrive home in the ...
First Day of School
... the main goal back in October. I'm just an emotional person who likes to reflect on the intensity of the "little things" so today was a big deal. There is a lot of new vocabulary to learn. For example, a "torch" is a flashlight and "have a go" means "just try your best". I'll try to post one new word a day. Tomorrow I will be observing the full day as the thirty students in my class engage in positive learning. ...
Our New Home
The big move began at 3:45am (local time) when we left the hostel, cranky and un-showered because there was no running water for the last 24 hours. We're all champs at making it through airport security now, and our flight was seamless. However we didn't land in our new city, but in Bristol, UK. Our host from the University of Plymouth, Steve, picked us up, and we learned how to cram 12 college graduates and all their luggage into a tiny bus for a two hour ...
Off tomorrow !
Well, after 60 mile an hour winds last night and torrential rain, it looks as if the weather may ease sufficiently to give us a window for departure.
So we should start Wednesday at 7am and will head for Ushant and across the Bay of Biscay towards the north west cape of Spain, cap finisterre where there is always at least a gale blowing!
Then ...
Eype - Highlands End Holiday Park
... We had a look around, the cowshed cafe with spectacular views. We then decided to go for a walk for our daily exercise, rather than using the pool (£3.50) or gym (£5.00). It was a windy day but the sun was out. We set off for a very up and down walk from eype to hive beach (Burton Bradstock). Our first stop was West Bay which was bustling and walked through a small outside food event which was like a small Camden Town and looked in some shops ...

The results of "The Electricity of Touch" experiment were positive. The data showed "when people touch or are in proximity, a transfer of the electromagnetic energy produced by the heart occurs." This is why I find this subject so fascinating.
The study's authors observed that although additional research should be conducted, there are potential important implications raised by this research when viewed in conjunction with the success of numerous healing modalities.
Practices such as therapeutic touch, holoenergetic healing, healing touch, qigong and reiki, among others, "are based upon the assumption that an exchange of energy occurs to facilitate healing," according to the findings. "While there exists scientific evidence to substantiate the physiological and psychological effects of many of these treatments, science has as yet not been able to describe a mechanism by which this putative energy exchange between individuals takes place. This study, together with the work of other research …represents one of the first successful attempts to directly measure an exchange of energy between people."
The Heart and Emotions
The heart's electromagnetic field contains information or coding — which researchers are trying to understand — that is transmitted throughout and outside of the body. One of the most significant findings of IHM's research related to this field is that intentionally generated positive emotions can change this information or coding in a way that benefits the entire body.
That discovery raises the question whether the cardio-electromagnetic field information transmitted from an individual who is angry, fearful, depressed or experiencing some other negative emotion, is changed when it is influenced by positive emotions. Also, is the care, compassion, love or other positive emotion transmitted throughout an individual's body as the cardio-electromagnetic field radiates through it also transferred externally as well to people in close proximity or, perhaps, even over long distances?

Probe concludes no wrongdoing in arrest of man, 26, who died
KINGSTON — There is no "wrongdoing or reason for criminal charges" in a November incident in which a combative 26-year-old man died after he was restrained by deputies and medics and then handcuffed, Roane County District Attorney General Russell Johnson has concluded.
But what killed Kingston resident Dustin Barnwell on Nov. 11 hasn't been determined, Johnson indicated.
While Barnwell's girlfriend told authorities he had taken eight muscle-relaxing pills, a preliminary autopsy doesn't include toxicology results, officials said.
An investigator with the prosecutor's office looked into the circumstances surrounding Barnwell's death at the request of Sheriff Jack Stockton after members of Barnwell's family claimed deputies had choked him.
A pathologist has ruled out "trauma from the incident" as the cause of death, according to investigator Jeff Vittatoe's report.
Deputies had gone to Barnwell's residence after his girlfriend, Shasta Gilmore, called 911 and asked for an ambulance after she couldn't wake him up.
Sgt. Richie Stooksbury and Deputy Mitch Grigsby told the investigator that Barnwell passed out on a love seat when they arrived and became combative when they awakened him.
The officers said they restrained Barnwell after he tried to bite them and he attempted to get away, according to Vittatoe's report.
Grigsby said he had "to take Barnwell to the floor and restrain him in handcuffs so that medics could treat him," it continues.
"One of the medics also assisted the deputies by placing body weight on Barnwell's lower body to hold him on the floor," the report states. "Sometime during this process Barnwell stopped breathing."
Barnwell sustained bruises and abrasions to his hands, feet and lower back, Vittatoe reported. Those injuries are "consistent with a combative subject wearing handcuffs behind the back and being taken to the floor by force by deputies attempting to control him," the report states.
The preliminary autopsy indicates Barnwell had an abnormally large heart, Vittatoe reported.

ROC Curves ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve • ROC curves were developed in the 1950's as a by-product of research into making sense of radio signals contaminated by noise. More recently it's become clear that they are remarkably useful in decision-making. • They are a performance graphing method. • True positive and False positive fractions are plotted as we move the dividing threshold. They look like: True positives and False positives True positive rate is TP = P correctly classified /P False positive rate is FP = N incorrectly classified as P / N • ROC graphs are two-dimensional graphs in which TP rate is plotted on ROC Space the Y axis and FP rate is plotted on the X axis. • An ROC graph depicts relative trade- offs between benefits (true positives) and costs (false positives). • Figure shows an ROC graph with five classifiers labeled A through E. • A discrete classier is one that outputs only a class label. • Each discrete classier produces an (fp rate, tp rate) pair corresponding to a single point in ROC space. • Classifiers in figure are all discrete classifiers. Several Points in ROC Space • Lower left point (0, 0) represents the strategy of never issuing a positive classification; – such a classier commits no false positive errors but also gains no true positives. • Upper right corner (1, 1) represents the opposite strategy, of unconditionally issuing positive classifications. • Point (0, 1) represents perfect classification. – D's performance is perfect as shown. • Informally, one point in ROC space is better than another if it is to the northwest of the first – tp rate is higher, fp rate is lower, or both. "Conservative" vs. "Liberal" • Classifiers appearing on the left hand-side of an ROC graph, near the X axis, may be thought of as "conservative" – they make positive classifications only with strong evidence so they make few false positive errors, – but they often have low true positive rates as well. • Classifiers on the upper right-hand side of an ROC graph may be thought of as "liberal" – they make positive classifications with weak evidence so they classify nearly all positives correctly, – but they often have high false positive rates. • In figure, A is more conservative than B. Random Performance • The diagonal line y = x represents the strategy of randomly guessing a class. • For example, if a classier randomly says "Positive" half the time (regardless of the instance provided), it can be expected to get half the positives and half the negatives correct; – this yields the point (0.5; 0.5) in ROC space. • If it randomly say "Positive" 90% of the time (regardless of the instance provided), it can be expected to: – get 90% of the positives correct, but – its false positive rate will increase to 90% as well, yielding (0.9; 0.9) in ROC space. • A random classier will produce a ROC point that "slides" back and forth on the diagonal based on the frequency with which it guesses C's performance is virtually the positive class. random. At (0.7; 0.7), C is guessing the positive class 70% of the time. Upper and Lower Triangular Areas • To get away from the diagonal into the upper triangular region, the classifier must exploit some information in the data. • Any classifier that appears in the lower right triangle performs worse than random guessing. • This triangle is therefore usually empty in ROC graphs. • If we negate a classifier that is, reverse its classification decisions on every instance, then: • its true positive classifications become false negative mistakes, and • its false positives become true negatives. • A classifier below the diagonal may be said to have useful information, but it is applying the information incorrectly Curves in ROC space • Many classifiers, such as decision trees or rule sets, are designed to produce only a class decision, i.e., a Y or N on each instance. – When such a discrete classier is applied to a test set, it yields a single confusion matrix, which in turn corresponds to one ROC point. – Thus, a discrete classifier produces only a single point in ROC space. • Some classifiers, such as a Naive Bayes classifier, yield an instance probability or score. – Such a ranking or scoring classier can be used with a threshold to produce a discrete (binary) classier: • if the classier output is above the threshold, the classier produces a Y, • else a N. – Each threshold value produces a different point in ROC space (corresponding to a different confusion matrix). – Conceptually, we may imagine varying a threshold from –infinity to + infinity and tracing a curve through ROC space. Algorithm • Exploit monotonicity of thresholded classifications: – Any instance that is classified positive with respect to a given threshold will be classified positive for all lower thresholds as well. • Therefore, we can simply: – sort the test instances decreasing by their scores and – move down the list, processing one instance at a time and – update TP and FP as we go. • In this way, an ROC graph can be created from a linear scan. Example Example A threshold of +inf produces the point (0; 0). As we lower the threshold to 0.9 the first positive instance is classified positive, yielding (0;0.1). As the threshold is further reduced, the curve climbs up and to the right, ending up at (1;1) with a threshold of 0.1. Lowering this threshold corresponds to moving from the "conservative" to the "liberal" areas of the graph. Observations – Accuracy • The ROC point at (0.1, 0.5) produces its highest accuracy (70%). • Note that the classifier's best accuracy occurs at a threshold of .54, rather than at .5 as we might expect with a balanced class distribution. Creating Scoring Classifiers • Many discrete classier models may easily be converted to scoring classifiers by "looking inside" them at the instance statistics they keep. • For example, a decision tree determines a class label of a leaf node from the proportion of instances at the node; the class decision is simply the most prevalent class. – These class proportions may serve as a score. Area under an ROC Curve • AUC has an important statistical property: The AUC of a classifier is equivalent to the probability that the classier will rank a randomly chosen positive instance higher than a randomly chosen negative instance. • Often used to compare classifiers: – The bigger AUC the better • AUC can be computed by a slight modification to the algorithm for constructing ROC curves. Convex Hull • The shaded area is called the convex hull of the two curves. • You should operate always at a point that lies on the upper boundary of the convex hull. • What about some point in If you aim to cover just 40% of the true positives the middle where neither A you should choose method A, which gives a false positive rate of 5%. nor B lies on the convex hull? If you aim to cover 80% of the true positives you • Answer: "Randomly" should choose method B, which gives a false combine A and B positive rate of 60% as compared with A's 80%. If you aim to cover 60% of the true positives then you should combine A and B. Combining classifiers • Example (CoIL Symposium Challenge 2000): – There is a set of 4000 clients to whom we wish to market a new insurance policy. – Our budget dictates that we can afford to market to only 800 of them, so we want to select the 800 who are most likely to respond to the offer. – The expected class prior of responders is 6%, so within the population of 4000 we expect to have 240 responders (positives) and 3760 non-responders (negatives). Combining classifiers • Assume we have generated two classifiers, A and B, which score clients by the probability they will buy the policy. • In ROC space, – A's best point lies at (.1, .2) and – B's best point lies at (.25, .6) • We want to market to exactly 800 people so our solution constraint is: – fp rate * 3760 + tp rate * 240 = 800 • If we use A, we expect: – .1 * 3760 + .2*240 = 424 candidates, which is too few. • If we use B we expect: – .25*3760 + .6*240 = 1084 candidates, which is too many. • We want a classifier between A and B. Combining classifiers • The solution constraint is shown as a dashed line. • It intersects the line between A and B at C, – approximately (.18, .42) • A classifier at point C would give the performance we desire and we can achieve it using linear interpolation. • Calculate k as the proportional distance that C lies on the line between A and B: In practice this fractional sampling can k = (.18-.1) / (.25 – .1) 0.53 be done as follows: For each instance (person), generate a random number • Therefore, if we sample B's decisions at a between zero and one. rate of .53 and A's decisions at a rate of 1- If the random number is greater .53=.47 we should attain C's performance. than k, apply classier A to the instance and report its decision, else pass the instance to B. The Inadequacy of Accuracy • As the class distribution becomes more skewed, evaluation based on accuracy breaks down. – Consider a domain where the classes appear in a 999:1 ratio. – A simple rule, which classifies as the maximum likelihood class, gives a 99.9% accuracy. – Presumably this is not satisfactory if a non-trivial solution is sought. • Evaluation by classification accuracy also tacitly assumes equal error costs--- that a false positive error is equivalent to a false negative error. – In the real world this is rarely the case, because classifications lead to actions which have consequences, sometimes grave. Iso-Performance lines • Let c(Y,n) be the cost of a false positive error. • Let c(N,p) be the cost of a false negative error. • Let p(p) be the prior probability of a positive example • p(n) = 1- p(p) is the prior probability of a negative example • The expected cost of a classification by the classifier represented by a point (TP, FP) in ROC space is: p(p) * (1-TP) * c(N,p) + p(n) * FP * c(Y,n) • Therefore, two points (TP1,FP1) and (TP2,FP2) have the same performance if (TP2 – TP1) / (FP2-FP1) = p(n)c(Y,n) / p(p)c(N,p) Iso-Performance lines • The equation defines the slope of an iso-performance line, i.e., all classifiers corresponding to points on the line have the same expected cost. • Each set of class and cost distributions defines a family of iso-performance lines. – Lines "more northwest"--- having a larger TP - intercept--- are better because they Lines and show the correspond to classifiers with optimal classifier under different sets of lower expected cost. conditions. Discussion – Comparing Classifiers Cost based classification • Let {p,n} be the positive and negative instance classes. • Let {Y,N} be the classifications produced by a classifier. • Let c(Y,n) be the cost of a false positive error. • Let c(N,p) be the cost of a false negative error. • For an instance E, – the classifier computes p(p|E) and p(n|E)=1- p(p|E) and – the decision to emit a positive classification is [1-p(p|E)]*c(Y,n) < p(p|E) * c(N,p)

The present invention relates to a circuit board module and an electronic apparatus.BACKGROUND In a circuit board module 100 shown in FIG. 6, a tubular frame 103 is connected to a connection terminal 104 of a base member 101 through solder so as to surround a plurality of electronic components 102 mounted on the base member 101. After afiller 105 filled into the frame 103 hardens, for example, a cover body 107 of a metal shield cover, etc., is put on the frame 103 and next a display device 108 (a holder 108A and a liquid crystal main body 108B) are fixed to the cover body 107. In the circuit board module 100, the filling amount of the filler 105 is previously determined so that a top face 105A of the filler 105 is positioned along the same face as a top portion 103A of the frame 103. Therefore, after the filler 105hardens, the top face 105A of the filler 105 supports the display device 108 through the cover body 107. One of circuit boards is configured so that an electronic component is housed in a hole of a holder provided on a base member and the holder supports a main display unit (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1:JP-A-10-115835DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONProblems to be Solved by the Invention Recently, there is a need for a further thinner circuit board module. For such a need, in the circuit board module in FIG. 6, for example, if the mounted electronic components contain an electronic component taller than other electroniccomponents by one step, it is considered that the height dimension of the frame is set so that the top portion of the electronic component contacts the cover body. However, such a configuration is not preferable because there is a possibility that thetall electronic component may be short-circuited. In Patent Document 1, the face of the holder which houses the electronic components is formed in a convexo-concave face because of the electronic component. When the display device is placed on the convexo-concave

When I was four I had an imaginary friend, when I turned twelve I was introduced to a new imaginary friend, but at some point I realized that my adult imaginary friend was just like my childhood imaginary friend.
Freethought Society of Conway lived up to it's name. We talked about everything from atheism to Top Gear. Definitely a great group, major thumbs ups.
