Another option, along the Applied Math alternatives, is a an Operations Research MS. It's a wide field of mostly applied math, statistics and optimization. You can pick your concentration and most programs have a strong link to an industry funded projects, but your work does not need to be funded research. You can essentially make anything you want out of it, and at the same time be exposed to many fields.
Also, the US government has many "Operations Research Analyst" named openings in defense, DOE and intelligence, as well as many defense contractors. This could be your "safety field".
I'm no law expert, but at least for the Federal Government, most information should be available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act, or more commonly known as FOIA.
I work in the Energy Industry. It is possible to get operational information such as maps and very detailed diagrams about most interstate natural gas pipelines by submitting a FOIA request. Federal regulations on FOIA requests are just a google search away, BTW. However, because such information is considered sensitive, the request falls under the Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) regulations and it is subject to additional requirements, such as stating the purpose of use and ID information about the requestor in a letter. I suppose they might do a background check. Then you get another letter, essentially a Non-Disclosure Agreement in which the requestor agrees to control and track the sensitive info. My guess is that most Federal data sources are covered by FOIA and each individual Federal agency creates its own special access policy and classifies information by how sensitive it is.
Anyway, the point is that it is possible to get to this information and that is treated as sensitive and that the process makes sense, at least to me, for Energy info. But the Energy Industry always has had a strong lobby and it is conceivable that they had input on reducing the red tape.
I read this article by William Bucley some time ago. The neurisis and moot arguments have been going around for a long time. This excerpt is a funny read:
In l962 Michael Di Salle was running for governor of Ohio. It was a season in which U.S. officials were calling out an alarm against possible air attacks. Governor Rockefeller came close to writing into the New York State building code a requirement that new houses have individual bomb shelters, and he led the way by constructing a shelter in his own home and office. There was the problem of the huge expense of public bomb shelters. The Republican candidate in Ohio promised a $100 million program to provide these shelters if he was elected.
Democratic contender Mike Di Salle, something of a humorist, called a press conference. He would announce his own program for bomb shelters which would cost the state a mere $5,000. The press met him eagerly, and he explained what he would do. Namely construct two huge arrows at $2,500 each, visible high in the air. One, pointing northwest in neon lights would be labeled DETROIT. The second, pointing west, would be labeled CHICAGO. Why would bombers pause over Cleveland?
In college we had a pen drive, sending pens and basic school supplies (those pens we don't really need or that extra eraser we no longer needed) to a less fortunate city. I have a ton of pens at home, from hotels and such which I wish I could donate again.
It might sound that these non-immigrant guest workers are taking the US for a ride, but when all the expense and time are tallied to educate and raise these workers, for which, by the way, the US economy paid little or no money or make no investment and are often the best and brightest from their home countries, you'd have to ask if it really is such a bad deal.
Have you heard of developing countries "brain drain"?
Fuel cells are also good at storing energy. Some of the disadvantages of really clean energy sources, like wind, solar or sea wave energy are due because they cannot be harnessed at the right time or right place. It is very difficult/inefficient to store electric energy at the scale needed by clean energy projects. Fuel cells could help to make them viable.
With Kawa, you can run Scheme programs in a Java Virtual Machine (just about any platform). It generates bytecodes from the Scheme source. And it allows you to use java classes, i.e., the java standard class libraries.
This can help move people to Scheme, or, to at least give it a try.
Unless the guy who posted the paypal link hacked an email account at bkw.org or it is no credible enough that the domain belongs to Brian, then you have a point. Same thing with the AOL Honor System.
I think this post should have a HIGHER score than the original posting with the paypal link. This post at least points to something interesting. A 5 score for a link asking for money is too much.
Every rule has an exception, except the rule of exceptions
The last part is a contradiction (unless what you mean is that the "rule of exceptions" has TWO OR MORE exceptions:) ). I understand what you are trying to say here, but it seems to me is not trivial to put it down in a sentence.

If your area is prone for flooding, don't put all your valuables (aka information) in the basement.

I think the project AC is referring is nicely summarized in he re</A>. It also has links to the main project page.
