F*ck You, Farrah Abraham, You Were Not Raped
Let me just start this post off by saying as much of an asshole-ish, boob-obsessed dickhead as I am, I understand very serious concepts such as rape culture and victim shaming. In fact, I've been pissed to no end watching it happen with the Dylan Farrow situation. So for all those people just itching to call a supposed rape victim a liar, let me divert your attention to Farrah Abraham who's now claiming on Couples Therapy that she was raped while promoting her sex tape – You know, the one she's still lying about not being a porno. – and beaten and abused by her parents. Radar Online reports:
"Violence has been a big part of my life," Abraham, 22, tells InTouch magazine, claiming that her now-divorced parents Debra Danielson and Michael Abraham "would beat me with a belt if I acted out" when she was just a young girl.
She claimed to InTouch, "I had cuts, bruise, welts, swelling and scars. … The abuse tore me down and at times made me feel like not living."
As a result, Abraham explains, she looked to plastic surgery for a self-esteem boost, spending more then $30,000 on a nose job, chin implant, Botox and two boob jobs.
"Abuse made me feel that I'm never attractive enough," she says. "I try to be so perfect."
Despite distancing herself from her parents with a move to Austin, Texas in 2013, Abraham continued to endure more pain after she released her sex tape last year. In the promotional blitz following the tape's release, Abraham said she surrounded herself with "the wrong type of people" at porn conventions, strip joints, and nightclubs.
She reveals, "I was drugged and raped more than once. It was a dark time."
I'm just going to start pulling apart this bullshit a piece at time.
The Abuse
If you've seen just one episode of Teen Mom, you know Farrah is an absolute spoiled brat who completely dominated her parents. She shit on them constantly while they repeatedly provided a place to live every time she ran out of money on top of basically raising her daughter. Nothing about their interactions suggested a girl who was terrified of physical abuse. In one episode of the show, after her mom bailed her out again, Farrah bitched about a room in their house not being painted to her liking which if you were terrified of someone beating you, is not something you'd ever think of complaining about. Even more damning, the one time Farrah's mom finally did give her the smack across the face she'd been lacking her whole life, Farrah called the police. As for moving to Texas, to "distance herself" from her parents, she moved next door to her dad so he could babysit.
The Rape
I'm sure Jezebel will write a really nice article highlighting sexual assault in the adult industry and how we shouldn't simply ignore Farrah's claims just because she's a shit stain of a human being. Which is fine, they should do that because rape no matter where it happens is serious. That said, there is no fucking way it happened to Farrah. For starters, she conveniently revealed this on a reality show she lied about being in a relationship to get on. From there, she lied about her sex tape, so is it really that big of a stretch that she would make up shocking details about her life to maximize her screen time? That's the entire point of her being on the show: To promote brand Farrah. Because if she really was raped, maybe she should've gone to a reputable therapist and then done something constructive like using a credible outlet besides a VH1 reality show to shed light on rape in the adult industry. Which is why this is probably the worst shit Farrah Abraham has ever done because there's nothing that hurts the cause of actual rape victims more than attention whores like her who make up false claims and treat sexual assault like it's a goddamn prop. I don't even have a snarky ending for this. Just fuck you. That's all I have. Fuck you.

I have a fairly untraditional setup but one that has worked in the past.
I have m0n0wall setup on a VMware Virtual Server with a VPN connection
to a Cisco PIX 501 at a remote office. The connection seems fine for
days on end and then it just drops randomly. All settings are per
recommended setup and the VPN is set to the same on both ends with a
refresh of 86400. The only odd thing I see if this at the console:
Enter a number: WARNING: PSEUDO RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR USED FOR IPSEC
My other m0n0wall boxes (physical) do not show this. Is this indicative
of the number generator not working right or is this normal behavior?
Could it be caused by a lack of traffic passing in the evenings and if
so, is there a decent solution to the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there everyone. I don't usually ask this question to anybody. Very few of the times I've got trojans or spywares lately and I had successfully kicked them out of my system. But since it takes much time to pull it out manually and regarding the work I'm actually having nowadays, I guess it's time to rely on something.
So I'll take any advices. I've used quite many of the anti-trojans, anti-spywares, and anti-virus in past. The main problem is resource use. Those are really big resource hoggers and usually end up hanging my PC (That's why I stopped using them a long ago). The only useful I've found till date is Trojan Remover but that's whole another story why I stopped using it. So if you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Please, no resource hoggers. Or am I out of luck in this case?
Edit: Mods, if you don't like this in the all marketplace, you can surely remove it to offtopic.
On the PC, Kaspersky Anti Virus.
I use Kaspersky internet security. I bought it last year after reading some good reviews and I've been impressed. It runs nicely in the background using about 30 meg of memory. Comes with a great virus scan, firewall various monitors (email etc) and has regular virus definition updates. So far I haven't one got a virus this year. The only thing I'm not too complimentary about is it's interface, especially the way it tracks and logs it's reports. Can't understand it at all, it's like reading Greek (or Russian).
For constant adware and spyware checks I use Adaware: http://download.cnet.com/3001-8022_4-10045910.html?spi=fa01051a5c9d5f5fba561ca7ad045add&part=dl-ad-aware
You can get Kaspersky IS for about $50, maybe cheaper. Adaware is free.
Seriously, use ESET Smart Security 4.0 – I have used it for over 2-3 years now, and it has protected me from very nasty sites.
On a ranking, I would say Kasp. follows after SSecurity, so both are excellent, although SSecurity is much lighter and faster.
That's my opinion, and I'd suggest you also keep yourself updated by checking online anti-malware rankings, which change almost weekly.
Good luck
Hey Raincutter,
I am sure there are a few good ones out there. Never really used Kaspersky before, but heard great things about it. DO NOT USE SPYWARE TERMINATOR ! Yes It is free, but is sucks. I had it for the past 3 months on my PC and everything was going good, until I get this virus which wouldn't let me click anything on my desktop and I couldn't access anything even by keyboard (horrible experience). Went to safe mode and did a full scan and nothing. I think their "definitions" are old. Also, that Crawler browser plugin that installs with Spyware Terminator is pretty annoying and useless. Anyways some might argue and say well just because it didn't find one virus it's not bad, I say "a virus/spyware isn't useful when it won't fix you're problem when you need it". Anyways, AVG is what I am using right now. I downloaded it through their website and it got rid of the problem right away. It has a fantastic firewall option too. I'm pretty satisfied and I absolutely hate restoring my PC. I had Norton and Mcafee a long time ago, but I can't stand them because they are always requiring you to go and purchase a new software everytime they release a new version software. So I stopped using them a longtime ago. I would love to hear what people are also using here in envato. Maybe there is something better????
BTW , Microsoft a few months ago released a free anti-virus software for all of their Windows 7/Windows Vista users. You might want to check it out:
McAfee Internet Security, triple license about $50 a year. So far pretty happy with it, never seemed to slow down my computers as far as I noticed.
Well… I use a Mac, and I aint never got no virus. But recently I got a scare so I downloaded 3 different anti-virus spyware apps for the Mac. Now I only use one called, Norton anti-virus. But I aint all that sure that its not a resource hogger. But it can be used for PC and Mac. Each has their own version. It blocks vulnerabilities when searching the web constantly, I've noticed.
3 different anti-virus spyware apps at the same time??? Thats crazy man. I guess it's like wearing 3 Trojans for that extra protection .
I use AVG . I used to use Norton, but for some reason..it just annoyed me so I went to AVG
Eset Nod32 – 64bit
Kaspersky is the best I have seen so far. Less resource usage and very effective. Second rank goes to McAffee.

Assalamualaikum Wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh,
I read an article about a Western convert sister that had memorized the Qur'an and went on to get an ijaazah in her recitation, in Jumuah Magazine. It is a very inspiring story and I want to be like her. I have been memorizing some surahs but not systematically. Can you give some guidelines on how to memorize, e.g. which surah to start first, can I memorize while I'm still learning tajweed, etc.
Is it advisable to learn tajweed from the teacher who's still learning tajweed?
Is it true that when we read the letter with maad asli, we have to open our mouth so as 2 fingers can go in. I heard that first we have to smile a little bit for istifaal letter with fat-hah and then open the mouth. We were taught to do this when practicing to pronounce certain words.
JazakumuAllahu khoir
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.
May Allah grant you your desire and make you a haafith of the Glorious Qur'an, and most importantly of those who learn it and apply it to their life.
The first thing is to set up a firm program that is realistic for memorizing the Qur'an, including in this program a revision schedule for the surahs and parts already memorized. It does not matter whether you start from surah Al-Baqarah and work back or from the end of the Qur'an (An-Naas) and work forward, but it is important that you write down a program and stick to it firmly. Include in it a day for just review, and time off for family etc. to make sure you do not feel frustrated and give up. The amount that you memorize a day or a week depends totally on your ability and free time. It can be 1/2 page a day, a whole page a day, a few lines a day, but whatever you set up for yourself, you should be firm in keeping it up. We suggest that you make dua' asking Allah to guide you to the best program and schedule for you. You can memorize while you are learning tajweed as long as you know the basics and do not memorize with mistakes in natural lengthenings.
It is always best to have a teacher who has learned all the levels of tajweed, since that makes him/her a better teacher and better able to explain things and answer questions, as well as (and this is quite important), passing down correct recitation to the students. A student of tajweed who has learned and applied all the basic rules plus the characteristics of the letters and tafkheem and tarqeeq can teach beginner students if needed.
There is no rule and it is not necessary to be able to put in two fingers in the mouth with a natural medd (we assume you mean an alif). If the mouth opens too far, such as when putting in two fingers, a sound similar to tafkheem results and the alif would not have the correct sound. If the medd letter is a ya' or a wow, the mouth is not opened vertically. The jaw is lowered for the medd letter , and there is a circling of the lips for the medd letter .
The characteristic of is achieved by lowering the posterior portion of the tongue away from the roof of the mouth, and if this with a fat-h on the letter that has the characteristic of there should be a vertical opening of the mouth accompanying this. If one smiles, or lowers their jaw, with a fa-th, there will be imaalah, or leaning of the fat-h towards the letter , which is not the correct sound for a fat-h.
If you need further explanation, please feel free to ask more questions.
Wa iyyakum wa-l-muslimeen.

Pupils expelled over headscarves
Page Tools
Two schoolgirls, expelled for wearing headscarves, wait for the ruling of their college's disciplinary council.

A French school has expelled two girls for wearing Muslim headscarves in the first such case since Paris imposed a controversial ban on religious symbols in state schools last month.
The year 7 students, aged 12 and 13, had refused to remove their headscarves since the school year resumed in September.
They refused to budge despite repeated meetings with teachers and their parents, said Michelle Feder-Cunin, principal of the school in Mulhouse, in the country's east. "The disciplinary council has decided to definitively exclude the two pupils from the school," she said.
France imposed the ban in September to reassert the neutrality of its state schools and counter what teachers said was rising Islamist radicalism reflected in the wearing of headscarves, denial of the Holocaust and attacks on Jewish schoolmates.
The law barred what it called conspicuous signs of faith such as the headscarves, Jewish skullcaps and large Christian crosses but left some leeway - such as for discreet jewellery - because a complete ban would have been a violation of European human rights laws.
In Paris, Education Minister Francois Fillon said about 70 girls around France risked expulsion by refusing to bare their heads despite warnings from school officials.
Three Sikh boys in a Paris suburb are also fighting the ban because it would mean taking off their turbans, he said, adding: "The law applies to everybody."
Pupils expelled from school can either attend private schools, which charge fees, or continue their education through correspondence courses.
Lazhar Fortas, a French citizen of Algerian origin whose daughter Khouloude was one of the two expelled on Tuesday, said he could not understand how the school could shut her out.
"She was a top student last year, first in her class, she had no problems, she went to gym class, did everything, was even her class delegate," he said.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Productos Alimentios Centroamericanos, S.A. 7/2/13
Department of Health and Human Services
|Public Health Service
Food and Drug Administration
5100 Paint Branch Parkway
College Park, MD 20740
July 2, 2013
Ms. Ileana Bustamante
Owner and General Manager
Productos Alimenticios Centroamericanos S.A.
28 Calle 0-31, Zona 3
Guatemala City, Guatemala
Reference No. 396542
Dear Ms. Bustamante:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your acidified food facility located at 28 Calle 0-31, Zona 3, Guatemala City, Guatemala on February 11-12, 2012. During that inspection, we found that your firm had serious deviations from the Acidified Foods regulation (Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 114 (21 CFR 114)) and the current Good Manufacturing Practices in Manufacturing, Packing or Holding Human Food (cGMP) regulation (21 CFR 110). At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA investigator issued an FDA-483, Inspectional Observations that lists the serious deviations found at the firm. We have not received any correspondence from your firm in response to the FDA-483 indicating that you have corrected the problems.
As a manufacturer of acidified food products intended for export to the United States, you are required to comply with the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) and all applicable federal regulations. Regulations specific to the processing of acidified foods are described in 21 CFR 108, Emergency Permit Control and 21 CFR 114. As outlined in these regulations, a commercial processor that does not adhere to all of the mandatory requirements of 21 CFR 108.25 and 21 CFR 114 could be subjected to an immediate application of the emergency permit control provisions of Section 404 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 344). As stated in 21 CFR 108.25(j), for imported products, in lieu of issuing an order of determination that a permit is required before products from a commercial processor can be introduced into interstate commerce, FDA may take steps to refuse admission of the commercial processor's products under section 801 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 381) when offered for entry into the United States. Violation of the mandatory requirements set forth in 21 CFR 108.25 and 21 CFR 114 renders your acidified food products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4). You can find the Act, the acidified food regulations, and the cGMP regulations through links in FDA's home page at http://www.fda.gov.
Your significant violations are as follows:
1. Your firm failed to manufacture acidified food in accordance with the filed scheduled process as required by 21 CFR 114.80(a)(1). Specifically, your firm's filed scheduled process for Hot Peppers Sliced and Marinated (b)(4) lists a (b)(4) a critical factor. Your firm is currently only using a (b)(4) in practice.
2. Your firm failed to employ appropriate quality control methodology to determine pH for your product as required by 21 CFR 114.90(a)(6). Specifically, your firm was not (b)(4) of the Hot Peppers Sliced and Marinated product before testing the finished (b)(4) value of the finished product. Your firm was only testing the (b)(4) portion of this product.
3. Your firm failed to have all operators of processing and packaging systems under the operating supervision of a person who has attended a school approved by the Commissioner as required by 21 CFR 114.10.
4. Your firm failed to, not later than 60 days after registration, and before packing any new product, provide the FDA information on the scheduled processes as required by 21 CFR 108.25(c)(2). Specifically, your firm continued to manufacture and export soy sauce to the United States after your submitted scheduled process (b)(4) had been returned on June 6, 2012.
5. You failed to construct your plumbing so as to avoid constituting a source of contamination to food, water supplied, equipment or utensils as required by 21 CFR 110.37(b)(3). Specifically, several hoses that transfer in-process food ingredients were observed throughout the processing areas of the facility touching floors and in standing water; further, several hose stations throughout the processing areas of the facility were observed without any type of backflow prevention.
You should respond in writing within 15 working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific steps you are taking to correct these violations and should include documentation that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. Responding in English will help to assist us in our review of your documentation. If you cannot complete all corrections within 15 days, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
If you do not respond to this letter or if we find your response inadequate, we may take further action. For instance, we may take action to refuse admission of your imported acidified food products under Section 801(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 381(a), including placing them on detention without physical examination (DWPE). FDA's DWPE is an administrative procedure whereby products offered for import into the United States may be detained without physical examination upon entry. DWPE information may be conveyed in FDA's Import Alerts. For your information, an example of an Import Alert that conveys information specific to foreign firms that are not in compliance with the acidified food regulations (21 CFR 108 and 114) is Import Alert #99-04. This alert can be found on FDA's web site at: http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/ImportProgram/ImportAlerts/default.htm.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act and all applicable regulations, including the acidified food regulations (21 CFR 108 and 114) and the cGMP regulation (21 CFR 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Additionally, Section 743 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-31) authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees to cover FDA's costs for certain activities, including reinspection-related costs. A reinspection is one or more inspections conducted subsequent to an inspection that identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act, specifically to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Reinspection-related costs means all expenses, including administrative expenses, incurred in connection with FDA's arranging, conducting, and evaluating the results of the reinspection and assessing and collecting the reinspection fees (21 U.S.C. 379j-31(a)(2)(B)). For a foreign facility, FDA will assess and collect fees for reinspection-related costs from the U.S. Agent for the foreign facility. The inspection noted in this letter identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act. Accordingly, FDA may assess fees to cover any reinspection-related costs. Please consider providing a copy of this letter to your U.S. Agent.
Please send your reply to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Carol D'lima, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Office of Compliance, Division of Enforcement, Food Adulteration Assessment Branch HFS-607, 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, MD 20740 U.S.A.

Learn More about the Symptoms, Effects and Treatments by Substance
The Alcoholic Treatment Process
Alcoholism Intervention
Using the services of a qualified interventionist is often needed to help the abuser see the damage their drinking is doing to themselves and those around them. An intervention involves having the alcohol abuser's loved ones gather, seriously talking about their addiction, and requesting they to enter a substance abuse treatment program.
Alcohol Detox Program
Detoxifying is the process of clearing the substance from the body, in this case alcohol. While it sounds simple, there are a number of serious, uncomfortablesymptoms while withdrawing that can keep people from getting the treatment they need. Many of these can be tended to medicinally at most treatment centers you'll find in Camden, NJ.
Residential Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers
Private Camden alcohol rehabs statistically have a greater rate of effectiveness than outpatient programs, which is one reason why many find them superior when getting clear of alcohol. There are many exclusive options available for those seeking first-class amenities during their stay. 30-day, 60-day and 90-day rehab courses are typical for these centers.
Addiction Therapies and Aftercare Following Inpatient Treatment
Sustaining a sober lifestyle is a long-term pursuit, but for those who feel like they need more services after rehab, addiction therapy is perfect. Through group meetings and counseling, recovering alcohol abusers can continue getting counseling and get the extra nudge they need to remain alcohol-free.
What About Luxury Alcohol Treatment Centers?
Luxury alcohol treatment centers in Camden have a common goal: to make you happy and healthy. If you want the best-quality treatment in high-end surroundings, you should give serious consideration to these centers.

South Korea's manufacturing activity expanded in February at the strongest rate in nine months as new export orders rose by the sharpest pace since the second half of 2011, a private survey showed on Monday.
The HSBC/Markit purchasing managers' index (PMI) of South Korea's manufacturing sector rose to a seasonally adjusted 50.9 in February from 49.9 in January, rising above the 50 mark separating growth from contraction, Markit Economics said.
February's reading was the second in three months indicating an expansion as well as the highest since May 2012. During the month, the sub-index for new export orders rose to a seasonally adjusted 51.7 – the highest since July 2011.
The pickup in activity suggests that global demand is starting to recover, as South Korea is home to some of the world's largest manufacturers of cars, ships and smartphones.
South Korean exports fell by 8.6 percent from a year earlier in February, weighed by fewer working days stemming from the Lunar New Year holidays as well as a decline in price competitiveness stemming from the Japanese yen's rapid depreciation.
But the HSBC/Markit survey suggests that the impact of the yen's decline hasn't so far been strong enough to derail a recovery for South Korean manufacturers.

| B. Information About the Use of Prescription Medication Information By People Who Are Blind or Visually-Impaired
|1. How do people who are blind and visually-impaired currently get their prescription drug information?
| I have to have someone read it to me. Sometimes I can look up some information about the medication through the internet. I line them up in the order that I will be taking them and have to remember how much of each pill I need to take.
|4c. What types of medication errors are most common among people who are blind or visually impaired?
|People would be taking the wrong dosage or wrong pill at the wrong time, especially if the medications feel the same or are the same color.
|3. How can essential drug information be effectively communicated to people who are blind or visually impaired?
| The best way for people who are blind to find out what is written on their prescription is to have it read electronically with a recorded message. The next would be have it written in braille, although many people with vision loss cannot read braille.

Volume IV - 14.2 Introduction
Orientation and Training
Food and Drug Administration
The Agency's consumer complaint system is a crucial source of information on potentially unsafe products in the US marketplace. Complaints involving death, serious illness, or injury are given the highest priority and demand an immediate response. Complaints about infant formula, baby food and medical foods are especially sensitive due to the vulnerability of the population that consumes these products. Evaluation of injury/illness complaints having to do with dietary supplements is important to the Agency for regulation and protection of the consumer from unsafe supplements. Product tampering is an intentional adulteration of a product that is frequently brought to the Agency's attention by a consumer complaint.
Laboratory examination and analysis of complaint/tampering samples will allow the Agency to assess the severity and scope of the potential problem. Analytical results are fundamental to development of a response that will minimize risk to the public.
Note: This section is intended to be used as a whole. Critical information may be overlooked if individual sub-sections are read out of context.

I highly doubt that. If somebody is abusing something they almost

It is argued that in order to understand the ways in which teachers experience their work - including the idiosyncratic ways in which they respond to and implement mandated education policy - it is necessary to take account both of sociological and of psychological issues. The paper draws on original research with practising and beginning teachers, and on theories of social and psychic induction, to illustrate the potential benefits of this bipartisan approach for both teachers and researchers. Recognising the significance of (but somewhat arbitrary distinction between) structure and agency in teachers' practical and ideological positionings, it is suggested that teachers' responses to local and central policy changes are governed by a mix of pragmatism, social determinism and often hidden desires. It is the often underacknowledged strength of desire that may tip teachers into accepting and implementing policies with which they are not ideologically comfortable.

Welcome to Just Answer,
The wire leaving the Panel Dimmer to control Instrumentation Illumination is LB/RD which is a Light Brown wire with a Red Tracer (Stripe).
This wire can be found leading to all of the components that require dimming, Instrument cluster, Radio, control switches on the dash and doors.
Hope this is the information you were looking for If not please reply back
You could tie into to the park lamp circuit but this would also add amperage to that circuit, you should be ok with the LB/RD wire, the factory does add a little extra amperage rating in the fuse selection.
I just had to add a little "disclaimer" there, any time you add aftermarket accessories.
I've seen this done many times with no problems.
Arrg, My fault,
sorry LB is light blue,

A better view: Technology improvements make vision systems viable production tools
Prudent use of machine vision systems can reduce the overall need for human labor, which is a critical cost factor in developed countries. Quality control processes that currently rely on human intervention also can be error-proofed by switching certain functions to machine vision systems.
Prudent use of machine vision systems can reduce the overall need for human labor, which is a critical cost factor in developed countries. Quality control processes that currently rely on human intervention also can be error-proofed by switching certain functions to machine vision systems.
These are a few of the observations contained in a report titled Advances in Machine Vision Systems, issued by the Technical Insights research arm of Frost & Sullivan .
The report provides a technology overview and outlook for the machine vision systems industry. It covers architectures by which vision systems are built, machine vision cameras, advanced imaging and image processing techniques, infrared imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence and vision. This report is based on detailed analysis of technology and industry trends following extensive interviews with market participants.
Frost & Sullivan says machine vision systems are becoming more practical in manufacturing settings because they now incorporate user-friendly features that minimize operator training thereby resulting in considerable cost benefits for the end user. As quality expectations continue to rise, the implementation of machine vision systems appears inevitable.
Additionally, the regulatory compliance standards in the food and pharmaceutical industries drive the advancement of machine vision technologies. Overall, the prevention of liability due to defective products makes the deployment of vision systems very attractive.
"Machine vision systems are increasingly used for complex factory applications due to advancements in machine vision components such as cameras, illumination systems, processors, and imaging techniques," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Vishnu Sivadevan. "Experience gained in solving challenging inspection tasks enables machine vision integration to progress further."
However, due to the availability of low-cost labor in developing economies, machine vision systems remain confined to high-end or large-scale manufacturers as they represent a significant cost for small-scale and medium-scale manufacturers. On the operational level, vision systems entail a high cost of development and deployment while posing challenges for future upgrades.
Vision systemsecifications of inspected products.
"Pre-deployment costs and cost of ownership are major factors that must be considered to ensure a high return-on-investment," notes Sivadevan.
"Continuous maintenance and operator training support are essential for high-end machine vision systems."
Apart from cost-effective deployment, maintenance, and upgradeability of machine vision systems, integrators must cater to the rapid changes in manufacturing environments by providing continuous support for end users' evolving needs.
Currently, machine vision enables core application areas such as semiconductor manufacturing inspection processes. The number of potential applications for machine vision continues to increase with the rate of innovation.

NEW YORK (Nov. 3)
The federal government's refusal to provide prompt and effective aid to New York City in its financial crisis is a particular threat to the city's Jewish poor, working people and middle class. It could also have a negative impact on Jews throughout the United States, according to warnings by a Congresswoman and two Jewish leaders.
The warnings were issued by Rep. Bella Abzug (D.NY), Jerome Becker, president of the Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty, and Bertram H. Gold, executive vice-president of the American Jewish Committee. Mrs. Abzug also said in speeches in Queens and Brooklyn, that the city's financial crisis may jeopardize funding for Jewish-sponsored programs in health, child and family services and for the aged in the city.
Becker, in a statement, said President Ford's proposals for increased state taxes constituted "an unconscionable attempt to inflict a still greater proportional share of our society's burdens upon a group that can afford to bear them the least–the ill, the aged and the senescent."
Becker said the proposal for increased taxes impinged on an area in which hundreds of thousands of Jewish poor reside, calling the suggestion a "cruel injustice" when budget slashes had left thousands of New York residents jobless "and has drastically reduced the ability of the city to maintain essential services."
Gold, speaking last weekend at a meeting of the AJ Committee's National Executive Council in Chicago, said that, over and above the immediate problems facing New York City "is the ripple effect we are likely to face if New York City defaults–a wave that will touch every major city in the country, Since Jews live mainly in the major cities and their immediate environs, Jews will feel the impact first-hand and directly."
Speaking at the Fresh Meadows Jewish Center and at an American Jewish Congress conference at Brooklyn College, Rep. Abzug noted that almost half of the 20,000 New York City civil service workers laid off because of the fiscal crisis are Jews. She cited figures from the Council of Jewish Organizations in Civil Service, previously reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that the layoffs of Jewish workers included 7000 teachers and educational personnel, 140 policemen, 50 firemen, 25 correction officers, 500 Human Resources Administration workers and 1500 in other city departments.
Rop. Abzug said the recession, inflation and increasing joblessness had affected large numbers of New York Jews. She declared that New York City has a larger proportion of its Jewish community in the lower middle class and working class and poor than any other Jewish community in the United States.
She also cited an estimate by Sanford Solender, executive vice-president of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, that if the city government would be unable to continue its share of support for Federation programs, matching funds from the federal and state governments would be withheld, involving a loss of $700,000 a day to social welfare programs in which the Federation participates.
Rep. Abzug declared cutbacks in federal funding have already seriously affected important services in Federation-supported institutions, including a community mental health center at Maimonides Hospital, child guidance services provided by the Jewish Board of Guardians and consultation services of the Jewish Family Service.
Gold also cited the loss of city support by Jewish social agencies, the layoffs of Jewish teachers in large numbers and the threat of loss of services for the Jewish aged. He warned that the city's financial troubles would cause "new intergroup tensions" and expressed doubt that adversity, as some were suggesting, would bring groups closer together in New York City.

The bullies are getting it again.
A Wisconsin anchorwoman went public about a viewer who excoriated her for her weight in an e-mail, and the video's going viral, with shades of the bullied bus monitor story all over it.
On Tuesday, Jennifer Livingston of WKBT-TV in La Crosse, Wisc, went on air to discuss the e-mail she'd received the previous Friday. The subject line was "Community Responsibility."
"I was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years," the note read. "Surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular. Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make..."
Livingston's husband, a fellow anchor, was livid. He posted the message on his Facebook page, which was then quickly flooded by supporters.
On Tuesday, Livingston addressed the growing debate on the air with a moving response, impressively not tearing up once.
"The truth is, I am overweight," she said. "You could call me fat, and yes, even obese, on a doctor's chart. But to the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don't know that, that your cruel words are pointing out something that I don't see? You don't know me. ... I am much more than a number on a scale."
The video has garnered nearly 2 million views on YouTube, although the poster had to disable comments after trolls turned the discussion into a "mudfight."
Livingston's is the latest large-scale bully backlash.
Last month, 16-year-old Whitney Kropp of West Branch, Mich., talked about wanting to kill herself after students at her high school nominated her to the homecoming court as a prank.
She attended anyway, and the well-publicized story saw local businesses donating her a dress, shoes, hair styling and makeup. (Her father and grandfather escorted her to the homecoming.)
And earlier this year, a partially deaf New York state bus monitor landed worldwide attention (and $700,000, thanks to a Toronto man who fundraised for her) after being viciously bullied and threatened by four boys, who then filmed the attacks and posted them online as a video called "Making the Bus Monitor Cry." It showed the boys calling Karen Klein a "fat troll" and mocking the "water" on her face – those were tears. The boys also threaten to egg Klein's house and stab her.
As the most current victim, Livingston argued that the Internet "has become a weapon," exacerbating bullying in schools. As a mother of three daughters, she said that "scares me to death." She turned to parents to teach their children to be "kind, not critical" and set a better example themselves: "If you are at home and you are talking about the fat news lady, guess what? Your children are probably going to go to school and call someone fat."
Her message to victims: "Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies."Report Typo/Error

I stood before her abashed, and that was ridiculous, while she measured me as if I presented in myself the woman I took her to be.
I was awed and abashed by the dignity of his bearing and his speech.
He was a man of few words, naturally diffident of his colloquial powers, and easily confused and abashed.
His enemies were for the time discomfited, and even the hardy Wilton was abashed.
She laid an abashed cheek on his hands that were still fondling hers.
The boy, not at all abashed, put out his hand, and welcomed Captain Kent.
Fondling the trembling creature against her cheek, she talked first to him, then to his abashed persecutors.
The moment it was past, however, my heart fell, abashed at its own meanness and wickedness.
The strong double light revealed her face of abashed delight, although the young man did not understand it.
"perplex, embarrass," early 15c., earlier "lose one's composure, be upset" (late 14c.), from Old French esbaiss-, present stem of esbaer "gape with astonishment," from es "out" (see ex-) + ba(y)er "to be open, gape," from Latin *batare "to yawn, gape," from root *bat, possibly imitative of yawning. Related: Abashed; abashing. Bashful is a 16c. derivative.

ON A really uncharitable interpretation, BHP Billiton chairman Jac Nasser damned Marius Kloppers with faint praise yesterday.
Nasser said that the group's decision to invest in US shale was the right one, and that BHP's chief executive and his petroleum division boss, Mike Yeager, were doing the right thing in shifting their shale development effort to liquids that take the oil price rather than the ravaged US domestic gas price. BHP was ''fortunate to have Marius' leadership'' and the management team he led, he added.
Nasser also said, however, that BHP's $US2.84 billion US shale write-down was ''very disappointing'' and said the board agreed that Kloppers and Yeager should hand back their June 30 year short-term bonuses. He also stopped short of stating flatly that there were no plans to quickly bring the curtain down on the Kloppers era.
That was a considered omission, however. The view was that it was impossible to reject suggestions that Kloppers had lost favour without simultaneously raising them. Yesterday's statement is intended to send a clear signal that the board still backs Kloppers and his team.
Yesterday's write-down is nevertheless also a confession. Kloppers can point to the relative outperformance of BHP's share price in the past year, but he made a mistake with the first leg of his US shale invasion, the $US4.6 billion acquisition of Fayetteville, Arkansas, shale gas assets in February last year.
The Fayetteville leases are gas-only and already extensively developed. They were fully exposed to the US domestic gas price, and BHP is one of more than a dozen oil and gas majors who have bought into US shale with plans to use their financial strength to rapidly increase production.
The US gas price had fallen from $US14 per thousand cubic feet in 2005 to $US3.88 per thousand cubic feet in February last year when BHP bought its Fayetteville leases. It had edged up to $US4.27 per thousand cubic feet by July when it paid $US15 billion for listed US shale company Petrohawk - but by April this year was below $2 and at a 10-year low in the face of over-supply and a warm US winter that undermined demand.
It has bounced back above $US3 since, but gas futures are about $US1.50 lower than they were when BHP first bought in, and it is that slide that has generated the $US2.84 billion write-down of Fayetteville's carrying value.
The leases that BHP subsequently picked up with its $US15 billion takeover of Petrohawk are less extensively developed, and capable of producing both gas and liquids that take the oil price instead of the gas price.
As the gas price weakened, Kloppers and Yeager pulled drilling rigs off the Fayetteville leases, and put them to work on Petrohawk leases that are less heavily developed, and liquid-heavy. By 2015, Petrohawk's liquids production will account for about 50 per cent of total shale production, and about 80 per cent of revenue - and it is the re-weighting towards liquids that has shielded Petrohawk from the write-down Fayetteville has taken.
Details of the write-down were put before the risk and audit committee of BHP's board on Thursday, and BHP's board signed off on it yesterday morning. The decision to immediately announce the hit rather than wait until August 22 when the group posts its June year profit result reflects heightened awareness on all boards this year that continuous disclosure means just that, continuous disclosure.
BHP is dual-listed in Australia and Britain, and the Australian market's continuous disclosure regime is toughest.
''We've seen a couple of companies here get involved in continuous disclosure issues - it's fair to say that the level of awareness of continuous disclosure issues has been elevated,'' Kloppers said yesterday. He did not name names, but Leighton's payment of a $300,000 fine for tardy disclosure would have been in mind.
MARIO Draghi didn't come out on Thursday night and single-handledly solve the European sovereign debt crisis, and share and bond markets plunged in response, but traders were actually discounting their own unrealistic expectations.
The European Central Bank president was never going to follow up his comment a week ago that ''whatever it takes'' to defend the euro would be done by doing everything in a single day, and the ECB can't do it alone.
Draghi's idea is that the ECB will buy Spanish and Italian bonds in the secondary market at the same time as the European Union commits bail-out fund money to primary bond purchases, in return for expanded fiscal powers in both countries. It potentially creates enough buying power to head off a selling attack, making bond market intervention itself unnecessary.
His hint that bonds the ECB bought would rank equally with ones held by private sector investors was also important, because private holders will sell into ECB buying and undermine its effectiveness if they risk being relegated to second-rank creditors behind the central bank.
Germany needs to back increased financial assistance, and Italy and Spain need to agree to cede control over their economies in return for bail-outs. But all that would happen quickly if Europe's crisis flared and in that respect Draghi has outlined a plan. It will take longer to turn it into action, but it's a positive development.

Letter: Decline of 'Made in the U.S.A.' has deeper meaning
By Phil Drietz, Delhi
This is in response to the Dec. 26 letter, "Chicken trade plan is for the birds."
Over the years, I had gotten desensitized to seeing everything from bolts, boots, automotive and
farm machinery repair parts, home and commercial electronics devices and appliances coming from that country. Even our grocery stores are getting food items from China.
But this year, seeing those Craftsman wrenches — of which I have memories going back about 50 years — kind of made me sad. There is also a stark reality behind this entire "Made in China" syndrome.
Consider these quotes:
* Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union and father of global communism, said: "Capitalists would give communists the technical, material and financial help they need to prevail in their ideological tug of war with the
world's democracies." In other words, they will sell us the rope by
which they will hang us.
* Nikita Khrushchev (in 1956): "Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you." (Some historians say democracies only last about 250 years; America is at 237.)
* Communist Chinese Chairman Mao: "In the future we will set up the Earth Control Committee, and make a uniform plan for the Earth." (1958 speech to his provincial chiefs.)
In August of this year, the Chinese Communist Party Propaganda Department mandated that every reporter, producer and editor must go back to school for
Marxism classes. More than 300,000 press corps members will be reviewed for progress in February.
A nation that degrades virtue lets itself get dumbed-down, de-motivated and demoralized quite easily and fits neatly into the pattern outlined centuries ago by Chinese archivist Lao Zi: "The Sage rules thus: he empties their
minds, stuffs their bellies, weakens their will and strengthens their bodies. He always keeps the people devoid of intelligence and desire. He keeps the intelligent in fear from action, and all are governed."

Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 80000 miles
I was on vacation for six days. When I returned my car would not start. I have had no previous problems. I took the battery in and it tested fine. The starter sounds normal when I turn the ignition. When I parked the car I only had a quarter tank of gas, so I added some fuel treatment in case of condensation in the fuel lines, still nothing. I am not getting a service engine light on, however my battery, oil, and brake warning lights are all lit at the same time. None of them were illuminated when I parked the car six days earlier. Tried to pull codes on it and the reader didn't recognize any problems. Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
have the same problem?

Mayhem # 2251766
About MeI'm an artist who likes to be the canvas from time to time, preferring to collaborate with photographers to make pieces that satisfy mutual tastes. My preferred looks tend to be sensual, subtle, and evocative, but I'm interested in trying a more casual look as well. I don't do well with overtly sexual themes, but enjoy nude work as long as it compliments the main theme of the piece.
I'm looking to work with photographers who tend to develop a professional rapport with their models and like to collaborate on ideas. I find that the end result is more interesting when photographer and model find a mutual vision and work together to create the image. I look forward to making intriguing pieces with talented, creative photographers- perhaps you?

Dimension X2-49 was a dimension that the Cragmites were banished to by the Lombaxes. It consisted of a dying star approximately 8.2 million kilocubits from any life form. While there, the Cragmites all felt angry and bored.[1] At least the equivalent of one Cragmite Armada were later released from their prison by Emperor Tachyon, leading the Imperial Army and his new Empire, but were once again banished following their crowned prince's defeat at the hands of Ratchet and Clank. Additionally, since Tachyon was defeated before he could bring back the entire race, many still presumanly reside in Dimension X2-49.

It's been said that the true measure of a good football team is the way it performs in the last two minutes of a game. The Bellarmine Lions took that a step further on Nov. 17. Starting at their own 35-yard line with 4:05 left and the game tied 29-29, Sefo Liufau engineered a 57-yard drive to and Matthew Philici drilled a 25-yard field goal with one second left as the Lions advanced to the state 4A semi finals with a 32-29 win over Gonzaga Prep in Spokane.
"Our assistant coaches did a great job of putting together a great game plan that our players took advantage of," said Lions head coach Tom Larsen.
The big issue facing the Bellarmine defense was how to stop the vaunted Bull Pup veer offense.
"Our scout team gave us a good week of preparation, showing much of their offensive tendencies," said the Lions' Calvin Chandler. "That went a long way in our success defensively."
While the Lions' defense contained the Gonzaga Prep offense early, Lou Millie would find the going tough against the Bull Pups in the first half of play, as the Lions' vaunted ground attack was held to a mere 87 first-half yards. Bellarmine would dent the scoreboard first, though, as Luifau sneaked it in from a yard out with 1:31 to go in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.
The teams would trade punches later in the quarter, and Bellarmine would take a 14-12 lead at the half. The Bull Pups would grab their first lead on the night as Griffin Hare – who would go over the 2,000-yard rushing mark on the season – found the end zone from 28 yards out for a 22-21 lead entering the fourth quarter. Never a team to panic, Luifau marched the Lions 56 yards in six plays to score, and with a two-point conversion took a 29-22 lead with 8:24 left.
The rest of the fourth quarter would provide more drama, as Gonzaga Prep quarterback Zach Bonneau would engineer a masterful 14-play, 80-yard drive to tie it with just over four minutes left. That's when Liufau and the Lions launched the game-winning drive.
"With the game on the line, we put the ball in Sefo's hands," said Larsen.
"I could not be more of our team, and we can't be satisfied until we can get to the finals and possibly win state," said Chandler.
Millie finished with 39 carries for 203 yards and two touchdowns, finding lots of room in the second half. And despite the Bull Pups being able to move the ball a bit, the Lions were proud of the defensive effort.
"We adapted well to their fast-paced offense," said West O'Brien. "We'll have to bring all of the energy next week at the dome against a good Auburn team."

Rampant Indians cruise to ten wicket victory
Felix Austin | cricket20
The Mumbai Indians ended the IPL group stages with a comprehensive ten wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Indians were faced with a victory target of 163 but Sachin Tendulkar (58) and Dwayne Smith (87) made sure the visitors wouldnt slip up as they recorded victory with 12 balls to spare.
With a place in the playoffs already assured, the Indians swept to victory to go into their clash against the Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday night at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur in fine form.
It proved to be a disappointing end to the tournament for the Royals who lost their last two games after going into the final week of the group stages still with a chance of securing a place in the playoffs.
Shane Watson (45) and Stuart Binny (30) led the way but with wickets falling at regular intervals the Royals were restricted to a total of 162-6 which in the end proved not enough.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Courageous Living Counseling, 22 N. Price Street, POTTSTOWN, Pennsylvania 19464
Christian Counseling is my primary approach to counseling. Using the wisdom of the Bible with evidenced-based therapeutic techniques, we will work through your life's challenges such as marital conflict, grief, family issues, trauma, interpersonal hurt, and chronic illness, as well as challenges of faith. We will draw upon the power of Jesus Christ and Scripture as a source of healing, forgiveness, and grace.
Kerstin Miller, M.Div, LMFT, CST
Couples and Family Therapist
Pottstown, Pennsylvania 19465
Often we can improve our lives by learning better communication skills, changing behaviors, and learning to resolve conflict. But then, sometimes life's issues are bigger than what we can change. We feel powerless, and we need to find meaning, comfort and hope in our faith. Nurturing faith through scripture and prayer can be an important part of therapy. Since Adam and Eve fell out of paradise humans had the ability to experience shame, self-hatred and hatred towards others. I believe that therapy is about healing hatred. Therapy is about finding compassion for oneself and for others, grounded in Christ's redemption for us to open our hearts for forgiveness and love.
Manisha Shendge, D.Min., FT, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
At REACH Counseling we believe in a strong link between our spiritual lives and our emotions. Emotions are a healthy part of God's plan for our lives and are not negative. Our staff includes ordained clergy who are trained in pastoral counseling and work from a faith perspective to help you rediscover what God's plan is for your life. Our approach to Christian counseling is integrative using a variety of techniques alongside of Christian values and scripture.

Licensed Professional Counselor
26 Main St., 2nd Floor, Flemington, NJ 08822
Many times we are struggling with our beliefs and wonder if God has abandoned us. Or we may be loosing our faith and spiritual connection. Reconnection to the healing of faith as well as understanding your relationship to Christ is important to spiritual development. There is nothing that God cannot forgive. Learn how His plan for your life will make you whole and healed from your anxiety and pain. Live in the light of Christ and cast your burdens on Him.
David Gallick, MSW, LSW, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
hazleton, Pennsylvania 18201
I believe that anyone that enters therapy or counseling is experiencing a spiritual crisis in their life whether they present for session as an individual, couple, or family. As an ordained pastor, I am sensitive to the fact that the Christian faith perspective has many variations. Rather than impose my spiritual or religious beliefs upon clients, I try to draw out their particular belief system and work with them using their understanding of faith, the Bible, and religion. Seeing their faith perspective as an important foundation in their lives I help them to draw upon the resources and strengths that their faith can provide.
Lori Lorraine, MA, LPC, NCC, NCP, BCCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
200 Eagle Road, Suite 210, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087
I'm not a Biblical Counselor but a Christian who is a Clinical Counselor. My faith informs my understanding of the therapeutic process & how I practice. This means that unlike many psychotherapists today, I will not pathologize your Christian beliefs or the role of your faith in healing. If you are willing, I would be glad to work with you in exploring your view of God & how that relates to your view of others & view of yourself. It may also involve understanding how your faith informs your choices, patterns & coping strategies or perhaps processing through any challenges & doubts you may be experiencing. I won't force you to talk about your faith, but will provide a safe space to do so.
Cheryl Sparks, PhD, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
200 Eagle Road, Suite 210, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087
Everyone needs support and help with difficulties, and Christians are no different. Suffering affects every part of your life, including the way you view yourself and God. It can make your faith seem weak or inadequate, or cause you to judge yourself or others harshly. Therapy should be a place where you come to know yourself as deeply loved by God, right where you are in all the messiness of life. In the strength of that knowledge, you can gain the courage to see yourself more clearly and with more compassion. If you have lost your joy, if God seems distant and faith feels impossible, you are not alone. There is hope, strength and healing. Therapy can be one way to find it.

Hani Elbeyali is a technology strategist for Dell. He has 19 years of IT experience and is the author of Business Demand Design methodology, which details how to align your business strategy with your IT strategy. His previous post was Demonstrating IT Value, Illustrated.
Businesses are always trying to minimize risk to the enterprise, but smart leaders realize that profits are sometimes the rewards earned for taking educated risks. Once a manager understands that risks and rewards (or benefits) are positively correlated, the next step may be to expect that the higher well-calculated risks, the higher expected returns are going to be. This concept applies to the IT organization because it's part of the overall process of any enterprise's need to "get things done."
What is IT Risk?
Risk, according to financial theory, refers to the unpredictability of outcome. "While financial measures of risk, such as volatility and standard deviation, measure the upside and downside of deviations from the expectations, only downside variability to be the true measure of risk", states Mukul Pareek, in his article "Information System Control Journal." What we infer from this statement is the risk is only represented by the downside of the expected return, and not the upside. In contrast, IT risk or downside is represented by the measurement of the potential for an unplanned event, internal or external; resulting into a failure or misuse of IT to threaten an enterprise objective; and it is no longer confined to a company's IT department.
What are Risk Types?
Planning for risks can be huge undertaking. Because the risk permutations count are beyond the capabilities of one article, I wanted to give an illustration of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) risk failure, and the volatility of an enterprise risk for taking on such project. ERP potential risks can be measured in two stages: during implementation and post deployment.
During Implementation: Internal factors
- Delay due to the rise of an internal event, which could be beyond the control of IT, examples: business priorities change, dependencies out of line, budget constraints, and unexpected cost overrun
- Siloed IT focus due to aligning IT to serve specific line of business
- Lack of alignment between business strategy and IT strategy
- Not enough time, money, and effort spent on assessment, plan and design
- No executive sponsorship
- Lack of process to implement an enterprise governance
- Significant harm to the organization stakeholders and stockholders. This could result in financial loss, with the organization may be able to recover.
- In December 2003, the United Kingdom's Inland Revenue put a new system for managing tax credits into production. Pre-production testing had been limited to four weeks rather than the planned 20 weeks because the project was behind schedule. It is estimated that over £2 billion in erroneous tax credits were paid out by the system before errors were recognized and corrective measures taken.
Post Deployment: Internal and External factors
- Ineffective implementation of enterprise governance, this is especially important in today's times of rapid strategic business change
- Loss of service due to broken process flow or vendor services failure
- Data leakage, theft, or misuse of information
- Complex and uncontrolled IT environment, this manifest as complex asset inventory, many IT overlapping management tools, poor documentations, and lack of unified change management procedure
- The risk exposes bad enterprise management to customers, ineffective implementation of compliance, and governance, not only in IT but throughout the entire organization
- Significant harm to the organization stakeholders and stockholders. This could result in financial loss, the organization may be able to recover. But, with negative Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (RoI)
- Damage the reputation of the organization, over time, the organization my never be able to recover
- In 1996, a failed implementation of SAP's enterprise resource planning software at FoxMeyer, a $4 billion pharmaceutical distributor, allegedly led to the company's bankruptcy. The company's trustees filed suit against SAP (the software vendor) and Accenture (the systems integrator for the project), asking for $500 million in damages from each. The case was settled out of court in 2005.1
