Well, does it change the fact that during the period of 1914 to 1920,
the fascist x-Soviet Armenian Government ordered, incited, assisted
and participated in the genocide of 2.5 million Muslim people because
of race, religion and national origin?
As in the past in Turkiye, and today in Azerbaijan, for utopic and
idiotic causes the Armenians brought havoc to their neighbors. A
short-sighted and misplaced nationalistic fervor with a wrong agenda
and anachronistic methods the Armenians continue to become pernicious
for the region. As usual, they will be treated accordingly by their
neighbors. Nagorno-Karabag is a mountainous enclave that lies completely
within Azerbaijan with no border or history whatsoever connected to
x-Soviet Armenia. Besides the geographical aspect, Nagorno-Karabag is
the historic homeland and the 'cradle' of the artistic and literary
heritage of Azerbaijan, which renders the Armenian claims preposterous,
even lunatic.
And we still demand:
1. that the x-Soviet Armenian Government, as the heirs of the Armenian
dictatorship, recognize the Turkish Genocide;
2. that x-Soviet Armenia return the historic homeland to the Turkish and
Kurdish people;
3. that the x-Soviet Armenian Government make material reparations for their
heinous and unspeakable crime to the victims of the Turkish Genocide;
4. that all world governments officially recognize the Turkish Genocide
and Turkish territorial rights and refuse to succumb to all Armenian
political pressure.
The awareness of the Turkish people of the necessity of solidarity in the
efforts to pursue the Turkish Cause is seen by the victims of the first
genocide of the 20th century as a positive step.
Now what would you do?

Thomas Goltz, from Agdam, Azerbaijan.)
ARMENIAN SOLDIERS MASSACRE HUNDREDS OF FLEEING FAMILIES.
The spiralling violence gripping the outer republics of the former
Soviet Union gained new impetus yesterday with cold-blooded slaughter of
hundreds of women and children in war-racked Nagorno-Karabakh.
Survivors reported that Armenian soldiers shot and bayoneted more
than 450 Azeris, many of them women and children, who were fleeing an
attack on their town. Hundreds, possibly thousands, were missing and
feared dead.
The attackers killed most of the soldiers and volunteers defending
the women and children. They then turned their guns on the terrified
refugees. The few survivors later described what happened:" That's when
the real slaughter began," said Azer Hajiev, one of three soldiers to
survive. "The Armenians just shot and shot. And then they came in and
started carving up people with their bayonets and knives."
" They were shooting, shooting, shooting", echoed Rasia Aslanova, who
arrived in Agdam with other women and children who made their way through
Armenian lines. She said her husband, Kayun, and a son-in-law were killed
in front of her. Her daughter was still missing.
One boy who arrived in Agdam had an ear sliced off.
The survivors said 2000 others, some of whom had fled separately,
were still missing in the gruelling terrain; many could perish from their
wounds or the cold.
By late yesterday, 479 deaths had been registered at the morgue in
Agdam's morgue, and 29 bodies had been buried in the cemetery. Of the
seven corpses I saw awaiting burial, two were children and three were
women, one shot through the chest at point blank range.
Agdam hospital was a scene of carnage and terror. Doctors said they
had 140 patients who escaped slaughter, most with bullet injuries or deep
stab wounds.
Nor were they safe in Agdam. On friday night rockets fell on the city
which has a population of 150,000, destroying several buildings and
killing one person.

Really>`?
No, gravity is an inherent system. You don't need any excess information
other than observations to determine anything. It is possible to objectively
determine someone's guilt or innocence within an non-inherent system.
I agree that morality is not necessarily inherent (unless you state that
everything we do has an evolutionary basis), but this does not mean that
it cannot be objective in theory.
Perhaps it can be objective, but not inherent. Anyway, as I noted before,
the practices related to mating rituals, etc. among the animals are likely
the only ones to be considered "immoral" under the previous "definitions"
of the natural law. Therefore, some revisions are in order, since the
class of activities surrounding mating seem to pose some general problems.
It seens that you are objecting to the notion of an objective system
because perhaps you think that it would imply inherence, which would
necessitate some sort of grand design?
I think I have. It is a code of ethics which basically defines undesired
behaviors, etc. An immoral behavior could be unwanted, unproductive,
or destructive, etc., depending on the goal of the system (that is,
immoral to what end?). | 8 | trimmed_train |

Suppose you have an idle app with a realized and mapped Window that contains
Xlib graphics. A button widget, when pressed, will cause a new item
to be drawn in the Window. This action clearly should not call XCopyArea()
(or equiv) directly; instead, it should register the existence of the new
item in a memory structure and let the same expose event handler that handles
"regular" expose events (e.g. window manager-driven exposures) take care
of rendering the new image. Using an expose event handler is a "proper" way
to do this because at the time the handler is called, the Xlib Window is
guaranteed to be mapped.
The problem, of course, is that no expose event is generated if the window
is already visible and mapped. What we need to do is somehow "tickle" the
Window so that the expose handler is hit with arguments that will enable
it to render *just* the part of the window that contains the new item. | 16 | trimmed_train |

Yes, but the _rear_ wheel comes off the ground, not the front.
See, it just HOPS into the air! Figure. | 12 | trimmed_train |
9,725 | Background: The Orion spacedrive was a theoretical concept. It
would be a drive using thermonuclear explosions to drive a spacecraft.
The idea was that you'd detonate devices with somewhere from one to
ten megatons yield behind a "pusher plate" attached to the main
spacecraft. The shock wave from the explosions would transfer
momentum to the ship.
Now, in an atmosphere I can see this. The energy of the explosion
heats the atmosphere, which expands explosively and slams a shock wave
into the pusher plate. But in a vacuum, only two things I can see are
going to hit the plate: fission/fusion products (barium, krypton,
helium, neutrons, evaporated bomb casing) and electromagnetic
radiation (gammas mostly, some light/heat from irradiated fission
products).
Would this work? I can't see the EM radiation impelling very much
momentum (especially given the mass of the pusher plate), and it seems
to me you're going to get more momentum transfer throwing the bombs
out the back of the ship than you get from detonating them once
they're there.
I must be missing something. Would someone enlighten me via email?
Thanks.

Amusing, isn't it? Seems only the SDCNs realize how much baseball is
a *team* game, combining efforts from every player for the win.
Consider the Red Sox game last night. The Sox won 4-3 in the bottom
of the 13th. Who won the game?
-Clemens pitched a strong nine (?) innings, allowing only two runs.
-Ryan pitched a couple shutout innings, though he needed some excellent
defensive plays behind him to do so.
-Quantrill pitched a couple of innings, gave up the go-ahead run, and
got credited with the win when the Sox scored two in the bottom of
the inning.
Looks like a team effort to me! Yet only Quantrill got credit for
the win.
How about the offense?
-Dawson and Vaughn hit (I think) HRs early in the game. Without either
one, the Sox would have lost in nine.
-Quintana led off the 13th with a solid single.
-Zupcic pinch-ran for Quintana, providing the speed to go from first
to third when...
-Cooper ripped a *second* single in the inning.
-Melvin avoided the DP, getting the run home with a sac fly. Not much of
a help, but it was something.
-Scrub Richardson then hit a double, scoring the speedy Cooper all the
way from first! (Hill's lack of defense helped.)
Cooper and Zupcic were credited with runs, Melvin and Richardson were
credited with RBIs. But it seems to me that it was Quintana's hit
that set up the whole inning! And did Melvin really contribute as
much as Richardson?
Furthermore, people seem to consider RBIs to be more significant than
runs. Did Melvin contribute more than Cooper? Cooper provided the
game-winning baserunner, and moved the tying run to third base with
only one out!
Assigning credit based on Runs and RBIs is clearly ridiculous. You
can argue that OBP and SLG don't show you who came through in the
clutch, but R&RBI don't do any better. At least OBP and SLG don't
*claim* to try to tell you that.
Here's to the Red Sox who contributed to last night's victory.

Why not? I believe both the Devils and Islanders got 87 points.
Say for example, another team had this record : 20-37-47;
they had 20*2+47*1+37*0=87 which is the same as their points total.
(The Islanders' and Devils' records are both 40-37-7.
It is simple arithmetics and involve no Calculus.

heard about memory mapping or video memory bank switching but know
nothing on how it is implemented. Any advice, anyone?

10,881 | Desiree Bradley ([email protected]) asked us whether we
should think of the Serbs as doing God's work in Bosnia. I've
refrained from posting, in hope that someone who is more familiar with
the OT than I would answer. But at this point I feel I have to say
something.
Many things about this posting bother me. I know of not the slightest
suggestion in the NT that Christians should use force to propagate the
Gospel, and the idea that we should not be concerned about the death
of Moslems violates the heart of the Gospel. Christ died to break
down these distinctions. In him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there
is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female. If
Moslems do not know him, we may preach to them, but we don't kill
them. Furthermore, the attack is between states, not religions.
There are Christians being attacked as well. One of the towns under
attack is one of the few places where Christians and Moslems are
living together peacefully.
The precedents being suggested are from the OT. There are in fact two
different things being alluded to. The first is from the entry into
Canaan. For that to be a parallel, we would need for God to have
promised this land through a prophet. And we would need the war to be
a holy war. There were tight constraints on behavior in those
attacks. Any violations were likely to cause the Israelites to be
defeated. Rape would not have been tolerated. While the accounts in
Joshua emphasize towns that were totally destroyed, note that it was
possible for a town to make peace with the Israelites, and that once
that was done -- even when deception was involved -- they were
expected to honor it. In contrast, there have been many violations of
agreement in this incident. I see no evidence that God has granted
Bosnia to the Serbs as a promised land, and if he had, their behavior
would have disqualified this from being a holy war.
The other OT parallel is from later, when Israel was defeated by
Assyria and Babylonia. The prophets saw this as a judgement on Israel
for her sins. Someone asks whether we shouldn't see this as a
judgement on the Bosnians for their sins. This sounds like a replay
of the old claim that we shouldn't have doctors or hospitals because
illness is God's judgement. Yes, even bad things may be used by God
for good. That includes actions of bad people. But that doesn't
justify them. If you read the prophets, you find them very clear that
in attacking Israel, the Assyrians and Babylonians were acting as
*unintentional* agents of God. Their intent was to attack God's
people, and they would be judged for it. The fact that they were
actually carrying out God's plan didn't excuse their action.
Furthermore, we shouldn't conclude from this that all attacks are
judgements from God. God explicitly interpreted that case, through
his prophets. As far as I know, he did not send any prophets to
Bosnia. While I find it hard to see any good in the current fighting,
I am sure God will eventually make good come out of bad. But that
doesn't justify it, and it won't save the people who are doing it from
judgement. | 0 | trimmed_train |

You have demanded harsh punishments of several crimes. Repeating
offenders have slipped in only as justification of harsh punishment at
all. Typically religious doublespeak. Whenever you have contradictory
statements you choose the possibility that suits your current argument.
It is disgusting that someone with ideas that would make Theodore KKKaldis
feel cozy can go along under the protection of religion. | 8 | trimmed_train |
9,922 | Here in Erie, PA there is a system in the inner city called Rado-Lite (a
trade name) which allows police and ambulance vehicles to gain right of
way by controlling traffic lights through RADIO signals. The receivers
look much like what you describe, but they include a UHF whip antenna (less
than a foot tall) and a light which flashes on and off to let traffic know that
an emergency vehicle has taken control and is approaching. Local folklore
says this system was invented here; I don't know if this company has any
other installations. It has been in operation for at least 30 years, going
only by my memory. | 11 | trimmed_train |

There are 2 books published by M&T BOOKS that come with C source code on
floppies. They are:
Programming In 3 Dimensions, 3-D Graphics, Ray Traycing, and Animation
by: Christopher D. Watkins and Larry Sharp.
Photorealism and Ray Tracing in C
by: Christopher D. Watkins, Stephen B. Coy, and Mark Finlay.
I have the first book and it is a great intro to 3-D, Ray Tracing and
Animation. Most of the programs are on the disk compiled and ready to run.
I have only glanced at the second book but it also appears to be good.
Hope this helps!

Is that what turns you on? The truth needs to be told over and over
again. There are Armenians who of course witnessed the Armenian genocide
of 2.5 million Muslim people between 1914-1920 but their voices of truth
are suppressed today in the hollow din of anti-Turkish/Muslim campaign
by the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism and Revisionism Triangle of the fascist
x-Soviet Armenian Government. Well, that is what I saw in the library.
What's your problem with this?

AZERBAIJAN'S GOVERNMENT APPEALS TO COMPATRIOTS ALL OVER THE WORLD
BAKU (APRIL 5) TURAN: Today, Azerbaijan's government appealed
to Azeris all over the world in connection with escalation of the
Armenian aggression against the republic.
It is stressed in appeal that the experience of five-years of fighting
for independence from imperial chains shows a grim process . The war
against Azerbaijan under the pretence of protecting the human rights of
the Armenians of Ukhari (Upper) Garabag, has meant the destruction of
Azeri villages and towns, occupation of 10 percent of the territory, 60
thousand new refugees in addition to 500 thousand already in place.
This is all the price of fighting for liberty from Russian imperial rule,
is said in the document.
Azerbaijan's government appeals to all compatriots to make every
effort to inform the people of the world about the truth in Azerbaijan,
and to assistance in solving the problems facing the young state.
It is stressed in the appeal that there is urgent need for medicine,
food, experienced doctors and financial help to settle refugees from
Kelbajar, Fizuli and Lachin regions, and to render medical aid for the
sick and the wounded men.--O--
60 REFUGEES FROM KELBAJAR PERISHED IN THEIR ESCAPE LORRIES
BAKU (APRIL 5) TURAN: Today, during the evacuation from Kelbajar
region, 60 refugees on board two lorries were killed in the fire from the
Armenian Tanks on the only road to leave Kelbajar. According to press
-service of Azerbaijan president, no one survived the tragedy. --O--
SITUATION IN THE REGION OF KELBAJAR
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: Attempts to evacuate the rest of 15,000
citizens, encircled on alpine villages of the region of Kelbajar
went on within the last twenty-four hours. Evacuation helicopters
could not land near these villages because of shelling from the
Armenian side and existence of fog. Measures are undertaken to air-drop
food and medicine to the encircled people.
Several hundred people succeed within the last twenty-four hours to
get out of the region of Kelbajar via mountain range. Refugees are
settled in the neighboring regions of Azerbaijan and in Ganja.
Authorities face serious problem with rendering refugees medical
aid and food. The number of refugees from Kelbajar is over 40,000 people.
Azerbaijan is not capable of handling a disaster of this magnitude.--0--
ARMENIAN ARMY CONTINUES ATTACK ON FIZULI
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: The region of Fizuli of Azerbaijan,
situated outside of the territory of Daglig (Nagorno) Garabag, has been
subjected to heaviest attacks of Armenian army for the fourth day. About
30 armored technique and more than 500 soldiers of the enemy are taking
part in the attack.
Armenian units broke the defence line of the azeri forces and occupied
the ruling height from where the town is shelled from "Grad" installations,
this morning. There is heavy destructions in the town and more than 20
people are dead. Population of the town is hastily evacuated.--0--
PRESS-CONFERENCE OF THE CHIEF OF PRESS-SERVICE OF PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: Fifty-five thousand refugees from the region
of Kelbajar were taken out by 11 o'clock on April 5, informed the chief
of the press-service of president of Azerbaijan, Arif Aliev, today.
Journalists were also informed at the press-conference that
International Red Cross is helping to accept and render refugees medical
aid. There is an urgent need to supply the refugees with tents, food and
medical aid.
Arif Aliev informed that as a result of the ongoing tragedy brought
on by the latest aggression of Armenia, the leadership of Azerbaijan
intends to appeal to Azerbaijanis and all those who treasure human life
all over the world for help.
Concerning the reaction of the international community to aggression
of Armenia, Aliev said the department of state of the USA has expressed
its anxiety to leadership of Armenia.
Participants of peace efforts in Daglig (Nagorno) Garabag under
CSCE, Rafaelli, Mareska and Chetin strongly blamed the aggression of
Armenia against Azerbaijan.
Leader of press-service informed that tomorrow ambassador of
Azerbaijan in Russia, Hikmet Haji-zade, will conduct a press-conference
in Moscow. Detailed information on latest events in the region of
Kelbajar of Azerbaijan will be given at the press-conference.--0--
AZERBAIJANIS PICKET IN FRONT OF MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF RUSSIA
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: Azerbaijanis, living in Moscow, picketed
in front of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
Picket was conducted as a token of protest against participation of
Russian units in capture of the region of Kelbajar of Azerbaijan by
Armenians. About 100 people took part in the picket, organized by
Azerbaijani society "Dayag".--0--
PICKET OF SADVALERS IN MOSCOW
BAKU (5 APRIL) 30-40 members of "Sadval" society picketed before
the building of permanent representation of Azerbaijan in Moscow.
Picketers were demanding the return of Lezghins lands, as if annexed
by Azerbaijan.
Ambassador of Azerbaijan in Moscow, Hikmet Haji-zade classified
this action as provocation aimed at creating a further inter-ethnic
conflict in Azerbaijan. He marked in his talk with the Turan
correspondent that he does not rule out a connection between the
Armenian aggression in the region of Kelbajar and this anti-
azerbaijani action of the "Sadval" society in Moscow. He also
marked that 30-40 people do not mean the Lezghian nationality in
the whole.
Society of Lezghins, "Sadval", registered in Moscow in 1990,
demands the creation of a Lezghistan state, which never existed
before on the northern territories of Azerbaijan.--0--
ATTACK OF ARMENIAN UNITS STOPPED
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: Attack of Armenian army on the town of
Fizuli, which began in the last twenty-four hours, is stopped, informs
the press-service of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan.
In the result of undertaken measures, 6 tanks and a number of
the attackers were destroyed. Advance units of the Armenian army
retreated several kilometers.
Chairman of the parliament, Isa Gambar, visited the town of
Fizuli and met with commanders of the units of the national army
and local citizens, today.--0--
STATEMENT OF MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF AZERBAIJAN
BAKU (5 APRIL) TURAN: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan
issued a statement in connection with aggression of Armenia in the
region of Kelbajar of Azerbaijan.
It is stated in the statement that regular units of the armed
forces of Armenia captured the town of Kelbajar on April 3 .
Attack of Armenian units, which began on March 27 deep in the
territory of Azerbaijan still continues. Armenia has occupied at
present 7500 sq.km of the territory of Azerbaijan.
Spreading of Armenian aggression far away from Ukhari (Upper)
Garabag proves that the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflicts has entered a
specially dangerous phase. This is the result of non-recognition of
Armenia as an aggressor by the international community, is marked
in the document.
It is stressed in the statement that the units of the 7th Russian
army are participating in the Armenian attack. This casts doubt on
the sincerity of Russian mediation efforts in finding a peaceful
solution to the conflict.
It is marked in conclusion that aggressive actions of Armenia
have wrecked the negotiation process under aegis of CSCE.
The document contains the appeal to the world community to stop
Armenian aggression and to use political and economic sanctions
against the aggressor.--0--

This is what Jackson looked like in 88-91, with everything converted
to a neutral park, on the basis of run production. His equivalent
average started at .253 in 88, was up to .274 in 89 and 286 in 90. So
let us say he had established, in his last two seasons, a .280 level
of play.
That is good. Very good, in fact. But it probably doesn't make the top
ten in the league. The 10th best EQA in the AL in 1992 was Dave
Winfield's .296; Thomas was first at .350. First in the NL was Bonds,
an incroyable .378; tenth was Bip Roberts, .297. But .280 is better
than any season in the past five years by Joe Carter; it is about what
Mattingly had in 1988 (.285); what Felix Jose had the last two years;
just ahead of Time Raines' five-year average; better than Ryan
Klesko's MLEs.
He got more attention from the media than was warranted from his
baseball playing, though; his hype was a lot better than his hitting.
That is the basis for the net.comments about him being overrated. The
media would have you beleive he was a great hitter. I think he was a
good, maybe very good hitter. He was IMO, something like the 30th best
hitter in the majors. | 2 | trimmed_train |

Not to mention last year's Weaver affair.
Anyway, here's how I see the Waco affair; I'd be interested in other peoples'
interpretations...
1. Koresh and his people were basically minding their own business.
2. Some weapons violations may have been committed and I wouldn't have
disapproved of prosecuting him for those violations. However, I think
the BATF was criminal for starting negotiations with a military style
assault and for firing into a house where there were children and other
noncombatants.
3. I don't see they couldn't just leave a token guard on the place and wait
the BDs out; I don't approve of the tear gas approach and, if it caused
the fire to be started, I think the FBI agent responsible should spend
10-20 years in jail.
4. However, if Koresh's response to the tear gas was to kill everyone there,
I hold him largely responsible for their deaths. | 9 | trimmed_train |

Subject: Re: Clipper Chip
I just had another conversation with NSA to clarify some of the features
of Clipper. Please feel free to distribute this and my other messages
on Clipper.
The name of the encryption algorithm is "Skipjack."
Martin Hellman had written
and the serial number of the unit added to produce a three part
message which will then be encrypted under the system key SK
producing
E{ E[M; K], E[K; UK], serial number; SK}
To which I responded:
My understanding is that E[M; K] is not encrypted under SK (called the
"family key") and that the decrypt key corresponding to SK is held by
law enforcement. Does anyone have first hand knowledge on this?
I was correct in that E[M; K] is not encrypted under SK. However, Skipjack
being a single-key system, there is, of course, not a separate decrypt key
for the family key SK.
The unit key, also called the "chip key," is generated from the
serial number N as follows. Let N1, N2, and N3 be 64 bit blocks
derived from N, and let S1 and S2 be two 80-bit seeds used as keys.
Compute the 64-bit block
R1 = E[D[E[N1; S1]; S2]; S1]
(Note that this is like using the DES in triple encryption mode with
two keys.) Similarly compute blocks R2 and R3 starting with N2 and N3.
(I'm unlear about whether the keys S1 and S2 change. The fact that
they're called seeds suggests they might.) Then R1, R2, and R3 are
concatenated together giving 192 bits. The first 80 bits form K1 and
the next 80 bits form K2. The remaining bits are discarded.
The seeds S1 and S2 do not change. The whole process is performed on
a laptop computer, and S1 and S2 are supplied by two independent people
so that no one person knows both. The same S1 and S2 are used during
an entire "programming session" to generate keys for a stream of serial
numbers. Everything is discarded at the end (the computer could be
thrown out if desired).
The serial number is 30 bits and the values N1, N2, and N3 are formed
by padding the serial number with fixed 34-bit blocks (separate padding
for each value).
The resulting keys K1 and K2 are output onto separate floppy disks, paired
up with their serial number. Each pair is stored in a separate file. The
floppy disks are taken away by two separate people on behalf of the two
escrow agencies.

I am sure more technical detail will be known when time goes by.
Please remark, that in posting this, I do not automatically agree

I just think this is an valuable addition to the less than technical
discussion that is rising here. And, no, I don't mind if you call
S1 and S2 'backdoor', as I could imagine the key-generation process
working without these seeds and the dependency of K1,K2 from the
Serial-Number.

You are correct; the fastest "complete" image that could be presented on
TV would be one field, which is 1/60 of a second (approximately). Of course,
the phrase "TV screen" is often thrown around in reference to any CRT
display, so perhaps this researcher wasn't using normal TV rates. Might
even be a vector ("strokewriter") display, in which case the lower limit
on image time is anyone's guess (and is probably phosphor-persistence limited).

: First off they could recognise Iraqu's responsibility in initiating the
: Iran/Iraq war. Providing technical assistance to Iran to get it's oil
: production back up to capacity would also be a smart move, at the moment
: Iran is above it's OPEC ceiling. If they had extra capacity they would
: use it and bring down the oild price further which is in our interests.
I agree with most of what Phill says, except the point about it being in
our interests to bring down the oil price. Consider that both the U.S.
and Great Britain have domestic sources to partly satisfy
their energy needs. Pricy OPEC oil impacts both Germany,
Japan and many other "industrial rivals" more than these two.
In addition, the proceeds from the sale (especially by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
U.A.E. etc) are disproportionately reinvested in the U.S. and G.B.,
propping up these economies and further providing an incentive
to keep prices from falling too low. | 13 | trimmed_train |

[ . . . ]
Having lived through the kicking and screaming in the 60s and 70s as the
Catholics were invited to participate in the liturgy instead of counting
their rosary beads during Mass, I find this comment interesting. There
is a _massively_ longer tradition for proclaiming the Passion accounts
without active participation. If you know the Latin, one really
beautiful way to hear the Passion is it's being chanted by three
deacons: the Narrator chants in the middle baritone range, Jesus chants
in the bass, and others directly quoted are handled by a high tenor.
This is actually the basis for the common proclamation of the Passion
that John would prefer.
But there is always a judgement call based on pastoral considerations.
Each pastor makes his own decisions (it isn't a church-wide conspiracy
against participation). The Palm Sunday liturgy, with its initial
blessing and distribution of the palms and procession, is already
getting long before you get to the Passion; some pastors feel that they
should not make the people stand through that long narrative. Also, the
orchestrated proclamation with multiple readers and public participation
in the crowd quotations runs longer than the single-reader proclamation
--- in churches with multiple Masses for the Sunday, it might be
necessary to go with the briefer options just to "get 'em in and get 'em
out".
Each parish is different. Catholics are no longer canonically tied to
their geographic parishes. It is possible that another Catholic parish
in the Columbus area (based on the Ohio State address) has a liturgy
closer to your preferences. Or talk to some of your fellow
parishioners and see how common your preferences are --- pastors
generally ARE willing to listen to non-confrontational requests. Though
you probably should bring along a paramedic in case he reacts too strongly
to the shock of people asked for a _longer_ Sunday Mass.
Perhaps the problem is that recent liturgical development hasn't follow
the continuous evolution model (the accumulation of small changes, no
single one of which is too hard to take) but rather the punctuated
equilibrium model (things stay the same and we get accustomed to them,
then the marked mutation hits). {My apologies if I am mis-remembering
the names of the evolutionary theories.} | 0 | trimmed_train |

I wouldn't bet on it.
Arab governments generally don't care much about the Palestineans and
their struggle but find it useful for political purposes back home.
They are happy to leave the Palestineans largely under Israeli control
because that leaves the job of controlling them to the Israelis. The
Israelis don't like this job any more than King Hussein of Jordan
liked it -- and he managed to kill them off at the rate of thousands
per month when they started an Intifada in Jordan. The governments of
Syria, Lebanon and Egypt all feel similarly. However, proclaiming
public support for the Palestinean war against Israel deflects
criticism from deep problems at home and lends an air of legitimacy to
even the most brutal Arab tyrants.
Arab *PEOPLE* probably aren't much more sympathetic. Palestineans
have shown a willingness to destabilize and plunder in Jordan,
Lebanon and Kuwait and are viewed with suspicion elsewhere.
You might still be right in sympathy to the war against Israel, but I
suspect that many Arabs, far removed from the immediate border with
Israel (e.g. in Kuwait or Morroco), couldn't care less.

This can be caused by two one of two things. The first and easiest to fix is
interference from something around the monitor, such as another monitor or
other electrical device. Try moving the system to another location to fix
that problem.
Second, because of the scan rate of the monitor, it tends to synchronize with
room lights and can cause the interference you are seeing. Try turning off
all lights in the room(s) around the system and see if that helps. If not,
try moving the system somewhere else.
A third solution would be to get a 14" Apple Color Display - It should not
have the same problem the 12" Color is more suceptible to.
You can try calling Apple's new support number (in the U.S.) at 1-800-SOS-APPLE.
This number is for ANYONE who has questions regarding Macintosh setup and
compatibility and just went into effect for this extended support on Monday,
April 5, 1993.

The theory is that the hollering kills the spirit of the criminal/Nazi
Armenians of the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism and Revisionism Triangle.
Now, try dealing with the rest of what I wrote.
What is more, the activities of the Armenian Government seem to have been
efforts aimed at eradicating a race (the Turks) or aimed at carrying out a
one-sided feud, instead of being a struggle for liberation. From the outset,
the efforts of the Armenian revolutionaries within the Ottoman borders took
the form of terrorist and destructive actions aimed at mass murder, cruelty
and genocide, so that no other interpretation of them is possible. Armenian
activities started during the reign of Abdulhamid II as individual acts of
terror, and then developed into assassinations and surprise attacks. The element
of brute force in these activities increased steadily, culminating in mass
rebellions and widespread fighting during the First World War. Furthermore,
when the Ottoman army withdrew from Eastern Anatolia after the 1915 Sarikamis
defeat, Armenian revolutionaries initiated a series of cruelties in this area.
Although the Russians occupied Eastern Anatolia as an enemy, nevertheless they
were constrained by the rules of war. However, when they returned to their
country in 1917 after the Revolution, Armenian revolutionaries were unchecked
in this area for about a year until the Ottoman forces returned to Erzurum
in 1918. During this period, Armenian revolutionaries executed massacres on
the local people which is recorded in historical documents.[1]
For example, let us look at a report dated 21 March 1918 which the Commander
of the Third Army submitted when he entered Erzurum and Erzincan:
"They were completely and systematically destroyed and burned down
by Armenians, even the trees were cut down, and they are like a
building entirely consumed by fire in every sense of the word."
As for the people who had been living in Erzurum and Erzincan:
"Those who were capable of fighting were taken away at the very beginning
with the excuse of forced labor in road construction, they were taken
in the direction of Sarikamis and annihilated. When the Russian army
withdrew, a part of the remaining people was destroyed in Armenian
massacres and cruelties: they were thrown into wells, they were locked
in houses and burned down, they were killed with bayonets and swords, in places
selected as butchering spots, their bellies were torn open, their lungs
were pulled out, and girls and women were hanged by their hair after
being subjected to every conceivable abominable act. A very small part
of the people who were spared these abominations far worse than the
cruelty of the inquisition resembled living dead and were suffering
from temporary insanity because of the dire poverty they had lived
in and because of the frightful experiences they had been subjected to.
Including women and children, such persons discovered so far do not
exceed one thousand five hundred in Erzincan and thirty thousand in
Erzurum. All the fields in Erzincan and Erzurum are untilled, everything
that the people had has been taken away from them, and we found them
in a destitute situation. At the present time, the people are subsisting
on some food they obtained, impelled by starvation, from Russian storages
left behind after their occupation of this area."[2]
Foreign observers who witnessed the events, including Russian Officers
who did not desert their lines, submitted detailed reports proving the
genocide to Ottoman commanders who received them as prisoners of war.
What is most important is that they stated in their reports 'the
massacres did not happen by chance but were planned.'[3]
At the end of the war, the German author Dr. Weiss, his Austrian colleague
Dr. Stein and his Turkish colleague Mr. Ahmet Vefik visited Trabzon, Kars,
Erzurum and Batum between April 17th and May 20th 1918 to record the
cruelties. Their writings not only show the scope of Armenian activities,
but also reveal their goal and true nature.[4]

President Clinton's Remarks On Waco With Q/A
To: National Desk
Contact: White House Office of the Press Secretary, 202-456-2100
WASHINGTON, April 20 -- Following are remarks by President
Clinton in a question and answer session with the press:
1:36 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: On February the 28th, four federal
agents were killed in the line of duty trying to enforce the law
against the Branch Davidian compound, which had illegally stockpiled
weaponry and ammunition, and placed innocent children at risk.
Because the BATF operation had failed to meet its objective, a 51-day
standoff ensued.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation then made every
reasonable effort to bring this perilous situation to an end without
bloodshed and further loss of life. The Bureau's efforts were
ultimately unavailing because the individual with whom they were
dealing, David Koresh, was dangerous, irrational, and probably
insane.
He engaged in numerous activities which violated both
federal law and common standards of decency. He was, moreover,
responsible for the deaths and injuries which occurred during the
action against the compound in February. Given his inclination
towards violence and in an effort to protect his young hostages, no
provocative actions were taken for more than seven weeks by federal
agents against the compound.
This weekend I was briefed by Attorney General Reno on
an operation prepared by the FBI, designed to increase pressure on
Koresh and persuade those in the compound to surrender peacefully.
The plan included a decision to withhold the use of ammunition, even
in the face of fire, and instead to use tear gas that would not cause
permanent harm to health, but would, it was hoped, force the people
in the compound to come outside and to surrender.
I was informed of the plan to end the siege. I
discussed it with Attorney General Reno. I asked the questions I
thought it was appropriate for me to ask. I then told her to do what
she thought was right, and I take full responsibility for the
implementation of the decision.
Yesterday's action ended in a horrible human tragedy.
Mr. Koresh's response to the demands for his surrender by federal
agents was to destroy himself and murder the children who were his
captives, as well as all the other people who were there who did not
survive. He killed those he controlled, and he bears ultimate
responsibility for the carnage that ensued.
Now we must review the past with an eye towards the
future. I have directed the United Stated Departments of Justice and
Treasury to undertake a vigorous and thorough investigation to
uncover what happened and why, and whether anything could have been
dne differently. I have told the departments to involve independent
professional law enforcement officials in the investigation. I
expect to receive analysis and answers in whatever time is required
to complete the review. Finally, I have directed the departments to
cooperate fully with all congressional inquiries so that we can
continue to be fully accountable to the American people.
I want to express my appreciation to the Attorney
General, to the Justice Department, and to the federal agents on the
front lines who did the best job they could under deeply difficult
circumstances.
Again, I want to say as I did yesterday, I am very sorry
for the loss of life which occurred at the beginning and at the end
of this tragedy in Waco. I hope very much that others who will be
tempted to join cults and to become involved with people like David
Koresh will be deterred by the horrible scenes they have seen over
the last seven weeks. And I hope very much that the difficult
situations which federal agents confronted there and which they will
be doubtless required to confront in other contexts in the future
will be somewhat better handled and better understood because of what
has been learned now.
Q Mr. President, can you, first of all, tell us why,
after 51 days, you decided --
Q Mr. President, can you describe for us what it is
that Janet Reno outlined to you in your 15-minute phone conversation
with --
THE PRESIDENT: I can't hear you both. If one will go
first and then the other.
Q Sorry. Can you describe what Janet Reno --
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: I'll answer both your questions, but I
can't do it at once.
Q Can you describe what she told you on Sunday about
the nature of the operation and how much detail you knew about it?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. I was told by the Attorney General
that the FBI strongly felt that the time had come to take another
step in trying to dislodge the people in the compound. And she
described generally what the operation would be -- that they wanted
to go in and use tear gas which had been tested not to cause
permanent damage to adults or to children, but which would make it
very difficult for people to stay inside the building. And it was
hoped that the tear gas would permit them to come outside.
I was further told that under no circumstances would our
people fire any shots at them even if fired upon. They were going to
shoot the tear gas from armored vehicles which would protect them and
there would be no exchange of fire. In fact, as you know, an awful
lot of shots were fired by the cult members at the federal officials.
There were no shots coming back from the government side.
I asked a number of questions. The first question I
asked is, why now? We have waited seven weeks; why now? The reasons
I was given were the following:
Number one, that there was a limit to how long the
federal authorities could maintain with their limited resources the
quality and intensity of coverage by experts there. They might be
needed in other parts of the country.
Number two, that the people who had reviewed this had
never seen a case quite like this one before, and they were convinced
that no progress had been made recently and no progress was going to
be made through the normal means of getting Koresh and the other cult
members to come out.
Number three, that the danger of their doing something
to themselves or to others was likely to increase, not decrease, with
the passage of time.
And number four, that they had reason to believe that
the children who were still inside the compound were being abused
significantly, as well as being forced to live in unsanitary and
unsafe conditions.
So for those reasons, they wanted to move at that time.
The second question I asked the Attorney General is whether they had
given consideration to all of the things that could go wrong and
evaluated them against what might happen that was good. She said
that the FBI personnel on the scene and those working with them were
convinced that the chances of bad things happening would only
increase with the passage of time.
The third question I asked was, has the military been
consulted? As soon as the initial tragedy came to light in Waco,
that's the first thing I asked to be done, because it was obvious
that this was not a typical law enforcement situation. Military
people were then brought in, helped to analyze the situation and some
of the problems that were presented by it. And so I asked if the
military had been consulted. The Attorney General said that they
had, and that they were in basic agreement that there was only one
minor tactical difference of opinion between the FBI and the military
-- something that both sides thought was not of overwhelming
significance.
Having asked those questions and gotten those answers, I
said that if she thought it was the right thing to do, that she
should proceed and that I would support it. And I stand by that
today.
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: Wait. Go ahead.
Q Can you address the widespread perception --
reported widely, television, radio and newspapers -- that you were
trying somehow to distance yourself from this disaster?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I'm bewildered by it. The only
reason I made no public statement yesterday -- let me say -- the only
reason I made no public statement yesterday is that I had nothing to
add to what was being said and I literally did not know until rather
late in the day whether anybody was still alive other than those who
had been actually seen and taken to the hospital or taken into
custody. It was purely and simply a question of waiting for events
to unfold.
There was -- I have -- I can't account for why people
speculated one way or the other, but I talked to the Attorney General
on the day before the action took place. I talked to her yesterday.
I called her again late last night after she appeared on the Larry
King Show, and I talked to her again this morning. A President -- it
is not possible for a President to distance himself from things that
happen when the federal government is in control.
I will say this, however. I was, frankly, surprised
would be a mild word, to say that anyone that would suggest that the
Attorney General should resign because some religious fanatics
murdered themselves. (Applause.)
I regret what happened, but it is not possible in this
life to control the behavior of others in every circumstance. These
people killed four federal officials in the line of duty. They were
heavily armed. They fired on federal officials yesterday repeatedly,
and they were never fired back on. We did everything we could to
avoid the loss of life. They made the decision to immolate
themselves. And I regret it terribly, and I feel awful about the
children.
But in the end, the last comment I had from Janet Reno,
is when -- and I talked to her on Sunday -- I said, now, I want you
to tell me once more why you believe -- not why they believe -- why
you believe we should move now rather than wait some more. And she
said, it's because of the children. They have evidence that those
children are still being abused and that they're in increasingly
unsafe conditions, and that they don't think it will get any easier
with time -- with the passage of time. I have to take their word for
that. So that is where I think things stand.
Q Can we assume then that you don't think this was
mishandled in view of the outcome, that you didn't run out of
patience? And if you had it to do over again, would you really
decide that way?
THE PRESIDENT: No -- well, I think what you can assume
is just exactly what I announced today. This is a -- the FBI has
done a lot of things right for this country over a long period of
time. This is the same FBI that found the people that bombed the
World Trade Center in lickety-split, record time. We want an inquiry
to analyze the steps along the way. Is there something else we
should have known? Is there some other question they should have
asked? Is there some other question I should have asked? Can I say
for sure that no one -- that we could have done nothing else to make
the outcome come different? I don't know that. That's why I want
the inquiry and that's why I would like to make sure that we have
some independent law enforcement people, not political people, but
totally non-political, outside experts who can bring to bear the best
evidence we have.
There is, unfortunately, a rise in this sort of
fanaticism all across the world. And we may have to confront it
again. And I want to know whether there is anything we can do,
particularly when there are children involved. But I do think it is
important to recognize that the wrong-doers in this case were the
people who killed others and then killed themselves.
Q Mr. President, were there any other options
presented to you for resolving this situation at any point from
February 28th until yesterday?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, yes, I got regular reports all
along the way. There were lots of other options pursued. If you go
back -- you all covered it very well. The FBI -- you did a very good
job of it. I mean, the FBI and the other authorities there pursued
any number of other options all along the way, and a lot of them
early on seemed to be working. Some of the children got out, some of
the other people left. There was a -- at one point, there seemed to
be some lines of communication opening up between Koresh and the
authorities. And then he would say things and not do them and things
just began to spin downward.
Whether there were other -- in terms of what happened
yesterday, the conversation I had with the Attorney General did not
involve other options except whether we should take more time with
the present strategy we were pursuing -- because they said they
wanted to do this, because they thought this was the best way to get
people out of the compound quickly before they could kill themselves.
That's what they thought.
Q Did the government know that the children did not
have gas masks?
Q congressional hearings once the situation -- are
you in agreement with that?
THE PRESIDENT: That's up to the Congress. They can do
whatever they want. But I think it's very important that the
Treasury and Justice Departments launch this investigation and bring
in some outside experts. And as I said in my statement, if any
congressional committees want to look into it, we will fully
cooperate. There is nothing to hide here. This was probably the
most well-covered operation of its kind in the history of the
country. | 9 | trimmed_train |
7,466 | The trackbal on my PB140 no longer moves in the horizontal direction. When I
called the nearest Authorized Apple Service person I was told that it probably
needed replacing and that would cost me over $150! Ouch!
Can anyone recommend a less expensive way to fix this problem? One strange
symptom of the problem is that when I take the ball out of the socket and shine
a light into the hole I can make the cursor move horizontally by moving the
wheel with my finger, it works fine that way but won't work if I turn off the
light. Any suggestions or comments?

What I like about GUI's:
- The ability to view and manipulate a group of objects, files,
text, directories, etc. and and manipulate them in some way
such as delete, copy, paste, rename ...
- The ability to have several applications / screens visible
and accessable at the same time.
- Being able to do a standard set of functions easily and
quickly on an unfamiliar operating system. I am familiar with
the command lines of several operating systems but occasionally
I will have to some work on a system that I almost never use.
If it has a GUI, I can usually accomplish what I want to do
fairly easily, the command line on the other hand often is
a long and painful experience.
What I hate about GUI's:
- Having to switch between the mouse and the keyboard. I guess
I have a strong one-handed preference. I like to use a
computer with one hand and use the other for holding something
like a piece of paper of a mug of tea. I have configured my
favorite editor so that most of the editing functions can be
done with one hand such as navigating, cutting, pasting,
searching, opening and saving files, etc. The main thing I
need to use both hands for is entering text.
I guess I need to get one of those mice with, like, 20 buttons
or something and then I will have the best of both worlds. | 16 | trimmed_train |

3,282 | DEPOSITION of VITALY NIKOLAYEVICH DANIELIAN [1]
Born 1972
Attended 9th Grade
Middle School No. 17
Resident at Building 4/2, Apartment 25
Microdistrict No. 3
Sumgait [Azerbaijan]
Really, people in town didn't know what was happening on February 27. I came
home from school at 12 o'clock, being excused to leave before the last period
in order to go to Baku. When we left, everything in town was fine. Life was
the same as usual, a few groups of people were discussing things, soccer and
other things. Then we got on the Sumgait bus bound for Baku for my first
cousin's birthday, my father, my mother, and I. We spent the day in Baku, and
on the 28th, somewhere around 6:00 p.m., we got on the bus for home, figuring
that I'd have enough time to do my homework for the next day.
When we were entering town, near the 12-story high-rises, our bus was stopped
by a very large crowd. The crowd demanded that the Armenians get off the bus.
The driver says that there are no Armenians on board; then everyone on the bus
begins to shout that there are no Armenians on board. The group comes up to
the doors of the bus and has people get out one by one, not checking
passports, just going by the way people look. We get off the bus, but are not
taken for Armenians.
We set out in the direction of home. At first we were going to go into an old
building where we knew there'd be a place to hide, but the whole road was
packed with groups of people, all the way from Block 41 to the 8th
Microdistrict. These groups were emptying people's pockets and checking
passports. People who didn't have passports with them were beaten as well.
Then we decided to go home instead. Near the 12-story high-rises I saw burning
cars and a great many people standing around the driveways, yelling. "Death to
the Armenians" was written on the cars.
When we came into the courtyard--we live in an L-shaped building--it was still
quiet. We went on upstairs, but didn't turn on any lights. We tried to call
Baku to warn our relatives, who were due to arrive on Wednesday, not to come.
Then there was a knock at the door. It was our neighbors, who advised us to
come down to stay at their place. We went down to their place, and they led us
to the basement. They live on the first floor and have a basement which you
enter across the balcony. We sat in the basement while an Armenian woman was
beaten--she ran away naked. Our neighbors' daughter said that that's right,
that's what the Armenians deserve, because in Stepanakert, allegedly, people
were being killed, 11 girls from Agdam had been raped. We didn't stay very
long in the basement. We tried to support one another as best we could,
looking out the small window with the iron grating. Papa watched and said
things now and then. He said that there was a fire near Building 5, probably a
car on fire. Then one of the groups approached our driveway and demanded that
they be shown the apartments where Armenians lived. The neighbors said that
there weren't any Armenians here, and the group set out for the other wing of
the building. They appeared from the 5/2 side of the building, where, I later
found out, a woman had been murdered. The woman who ran away naked died. Yuri
Avakian was killed, too.
When the crowd left, the neighbors said that it was all over and we could go
home. We went back up to our place and again didn't turn on the light. We
started to gather up our things in order to leave Sumgait for a while. We
tried to call a relative who lived in Sumgait, but there was no answer. We
decided she had already left.
We sat at home. The phone rang, and the caller asked to speak with my
father. I called him to the phone. It was Jeykhun Mamedov, from my father's
work brigade. He said he was disgusted by what was happening in our
town. He asked for our address and promised to get a car and help us get
out of the city. To be quite honest, Papa didn't want to give him our address,
but my mother got on the phone and told him. Some 15 minutes after the
call a crowd ran into our entryway. Bursting into the building, they broke
down the door and came into the apartment . . .
They came straight to our apartment, they knew exactly where the Armenians
were. They came into our place. We tried to resist, but there was nothing we
could do. One of them took my parents' passports and began to read them. He
read the surname "Danielian," turned the page, read "Armenian," and that alone
was enough to doom us. He said that we should be moved quickly out into the
courtyard, where they would have done with us. Another, standing next to him,
pushed some of the keys on the piano and said "your death has tolled." They
had knives and steel truncheons.
I had a knife in my hand. Unfortunately, I didn't use it. I just knew that if
I didn't give up the knife things would be much worse. They struck my parents
and said that I should put the knife on the piano. Then, one of them commanded
that we be taken outside. One person was giving orders. When we were taken
outdoors I went in the middle, and my mother was behind me. Someone started to
push her so she'd walk faster; I let her go ahead of me, and fell in behind
her. When he tried to push me, I hit him, and at that moment they began
beating my parents; I realized that resistance was completely useless.
We are taken out into the courtyard, and the neighbors are standing on their
balconies to see what will happen next. The crowd surrounds us. At first they
strike me, and I'm knocked out; when I come to, they beat me again . . . I
lose consciousness often . . . I don't see or hear my parents, since I was the
first one hit and was out cold. When I come to I try to pick them up; they are
lying next to me. The crowd is gone, the only people around are watching from
their balconies. That's it. I try to pick them up, but can't. My left arm is
broken. I start toward the drive, wanting to tell the neighbors to call an
ambulance. The bodies of my parents are still warm.
We were attacked at around 9 o'clock. I regain consciousness at about 11 and
try to make it up the stairs home . . . When I knock at the neighbors' door,
they push me back and tell me to go away. I go up to the third floor, our
neighbor puts a damp cloth on my head and says she will call an ambulance; she
sends her son off for one and takes me to our apartment. I often look out the
window to see if the ambulance has arrived, but I can't see very far as a
result of the blows, and it seems that my parents have already been taken
away. Then I calm down and try to convince myself that they have been taken
away, and everything will be OK.
But they were still there. Later, at 8 in the morning as I found out, the
ambulance picked them up, but they were already dead. If they received
attention on time, it is possible they would still be alive. Later, around 12
o'clock on the 29th, policemen in civilian clothing come to our house with
some "assistants." They call an ambulance, and 20 minutes later it arrives,
and I am taken to the Sumgait Emergency Hospital. There they stitch the wounds
on my head and rebind my arm. At 3 o'clock I and the other Armenians who are
in the hospital are sent by ambulance to Baku.
In my ward at the Sumgait Hospital there were five people, all of them
Armenians. The hospital was nearly overflowing with Armenians. The only
Azerbaijanis there were those whose car had flipped over before the events,
before the 27th.
Then I was in the Semashko Hospital in Baku. I was there 38 days. When I was
released, on the 40th day, I found out that my parents were dead. At first
they told me that they were in Moscow being treated, but later I found out
that they were dead. My father's older brother told me.
My father's name was Nikolai Artemovich Danielian. He was born in 1938. My
mother, born in 1937, was Seda Osipovna Danielian. Papa worked at PMK-20, the
leader of the roofing brigade; mamma was a compressor operator.
They were also beaten on the head. The coroner's report stated that their
heads were smashed open and bled profusely.
At the confrontation I met Jeykhun Mamedov, who had called. As it turned out
later, he had been the one who tipped the crowd off. He had called
specifically to find out if we were at home and to find out the exact address
and dispatch the group. He knew the phone number, but didn't know the address.
Before the events I had never seen him, but had often spoken with him on the
phone, when he would ask to speak with my father. I knew him by name. He
denies that I was the one who answered the phone, saying that my father
answered it. He denies that he called from a public phone, saying that he
called from home, which also isn't true. I heard noise and the sounds of
automobiles. As I later found out, earlier he had been convicted, but had
never served any time--he had received a suspended sentence. He was about 20
years old. I don't know if he has since confessed or not. I am sure that he
was the one who tipped the crowd off. One-hundred percent sure.
My parents were from Karabagh. Father was from the village of Badar, and was
two years old when his family moved to Baku, where his elder brothers were to
go to school. He was a student at the Naval School, but never graduated. He
went off to work on the virgin lands [one of the gigantic agricultural
projects instituted under Khrushchev.] When he returned he lived in Baku, and
later moved to Sumgait, helping with the town's construction. Mamma was from
the village of Dagdagan, also from Karabagh. She worked in Sumgait, first in
a bookstore, and later, on a construction site.
My sister is older than I. She lives with her husband here in Karabagh. I
always loved my parents. That was why I went on to 9th grade, because it
was their dream that I would continue my studies. I finished 8th grade and
wanted to enter the Baku Nautical School, and after that, the Military
School. But later I changed my mind, or rather, my parents got me to recon-
sider, saying that it would be better to finish the 10th grade and then join
the Naval School. I was planning to be in the Navy almost my whole life
long--since childhood I had dreamed of being a sailor. My father wanted it
more than anything. He always recollected his youth, telling of the School,
and he always said that he had made a big mistake in leaving it.
Now I live in Karabagh and never plan to leave here. I will stay at the home
of my grandfather, of my ancestors, till the end of my days.
While in the hospital in Baku I learned the fates of many others who had
suffered as well, like Ishkhan [Trdatov]. He managed to hold them off [at
their residence in Microdistrict 3, Building 6/2, Apartment 6.] for a long
time, lost his father [Gabriel], and by some miracle managed to survive. I
also learned of Uncle Sasha, from Building 5/2, whose daughter was raped
. . . Besides them, Valery--I forgot his last name--was in the hospital too,
about a year younger than I, he went to School No. 14. He was riding with
his parents in the car. People were throwing rocks at them, he was hit, and
his parents brought him to the hospital, and he was in our ward. We even
came to be friends. Before that we had just seen each other around town. But
in the hospital we got to know one another better. I learned of the fates of
others, those who had died, or who were befallen by misfortune . . .
Today Suren Harutunian, the First Secretary of the Communist party of Armenia,
was shown on television. To be honest I am glad that Armenia agreed to
recognize Nagorno Karabagh as part of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic.
I was repelled, no, revolted, to hear the Baku announcer who read the decision
of the Azerbaijani Supreme Soviet Presidium against Karabagh becoming part of
Armenia.
After the events in Sumgait and those in Baku, the best solution is to give
Karabagh to Armenia, return it to Armenia, since the people want to live
peacefully with the Azerbaijanis, but everything has to be right before they
can do that.
I arrived in Karabagh on April 11. I felt very bad. I had constant headaches.
After a while my strength returned. My older sister, Suzanna, took me in. I
think that justice should prevail; the people are demanding their due.
You can't take away what is their due. My parents and I often spoke of Nagorno
Karabagh, often visited here--spent almost all of my vacations here. We had
even decided that if Karabagh would be made part of Armenia, we would move
here for sure. We always said that the Armenian people had suffered much, and
that what had been done in 1921--removing Nagorno Karabagh from Armenia--was
wrong. Sooner or later, mistakes should be corrected. And in order to correct
a mistake, it must not be repeated; and the fate of all Nagorno Karabagh lies
in the hands of our government.

2,888 | someone wrote in expressing concern about getting AIDS from acupuncture
needles.....
Unless your friend is sharing fluids with their acupuncturist who
themselves has AIDS..it is unlikely (not impossible) they will get AIDS
from acupuncture needles. Generally, even if accidently inoculated, the normal
immune response should be enough to effectively handle the minimal contaminant
involved with acupuncture needle insertion.
Most acupuncturists use disposable needles...use once and throw away. They
do this because you are not the only one concerned about transmission of
diseases via this route...so it's good business to advertise "disposable needlesused here." These needles tend to be of a lower quality however,
being poorly manufactured and too "sharp" in my opinion. They tend to snag bloodvessels on insertion compared to higher quality needles.
If I choose to use acupuncture for a given complaint, that patient will get
their own set of new needles which are sterilized between treatments.
The risk here for hepatitis, HIV, etc. transmission is that I could mistakenly
use an infected persons needles accidently on the wrong
patient...but clear labelling and paying attention all but eliminates
this risk. Better quality needles tend to "slide" past vessels and
nerves avoiding unpleasant painful snags..and hematomas...so I use them.
Acupuncture needles come in many lengths and thicknesses...but they are all
solid when compared to their injection-style cousins. In China, herbal solutionsand western pharmaceuticals are occasionally injected into
meridian points purported to have TCM physiologic effects and so require
the same hollow needles used for injecting fluid medicine. This means...thinkingtiny...that a samll amount of tissue, the diameter of the needle bore, will be
injected into the body as it would be in a typical "shot." when the skin is
puntured. On the other hand when the solid
acupuncture needle is inserted, the skin tends to "squeeze" the needle
from the tip to the level of insertion such that any 'cooties' that
haven't been schmeared away with alcohol before insertion, tend to remain
on the surface of the skin minimizing invasion from the exterior.
Of course in TCM...the body's exterior is protected by the Wei (Protective) Qi..so infection is unlikely....or in other words...there is a normal inflammatory
and immune response that accompanies tissue damage incurred at the puncture
site.
While I'm fairly certain your friend will not have a transferable disease
transmitted to them via acupuncture needle insertion, I would like to know for
what complaint they have consulted the acupuncturist...not to know if it would be harmful.. but to know if it would be helpful. | 19 | trimmed_train |

Why do you assume that Jesus's plea to His Father "to let this cup
pass from Him", was merely a plea to escape death? When I look at
Jesus in the garden, I see a Man-God, who all His life had had the
presense of His Father with Him. As a result, He knew every
detail about His death long before the Agony in the Garden. But
as that hour approached, He felt abandoned by His Father, His
presense diminishing with each passing minute. In addition, it
was brought more and more to Jesus's attention (the betrayal of
Judas was probably a big impact) that His suffering would be to no
avail for many people, especially those who would reject Him, not
only then but in the future. I truly believe that the majority of
Jesus's suffering was mental and spiritual, while the physical
portion was only the tip of the iceburg.
BTW, we know from John's account that Jesus *shunned* becomming an earthly
king. From John:
JOH 6:14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they
began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the
world."
JOH 6:15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by
force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
This does not seem like a man who would regret not becoming an
earthly king. No, Jesus knew His mission was to redeem all (Jew &
Gentile) people and establish His kingdom in the hearts of those
who would believe. This was utterly mistaken, much to Jesus's
dismay, as an aspiration to some earthly kingdom. But He knew
what His Father's will was and followed it obediently even in the
darkness of His Passion.

All five schools of law (to the best of my knowledge) support the
death sentence for apostasy WHEN it is accompanied by open, persistent,
and aggravated hostility to Islam. Otherwise
I agree, there is no legal support for punishment of disbelief.
The Qur'an makes it clear that belief is a matter of conscience. Public
or private disavowal of Islam or conversion to another faith is not
punishable (there are some jurists who have gone against this
trend and insisted that apostasy is punishable (even by death) - but
historically they are the exception.
Cursing and Insulting the Prophets falls under the category of "Shatim".

184 | This is turning into a FAQ
Here is how to violate your Quadra 700 warranty and install your own
memory.
1) Insert usual disclaimer here
2) Remove the top lid of the machine. You will see the floppy disk and
hard drive mounted in a plastic tower. Follow the usual anti-static
precautions and of course make sure the machine is OFF when you do
this. Unplug the wall and monitor power supply cords from the back
of the mac.
3) Remove the power supply by pulling the plastic interlocking tab on the
tower forward and simultaneously pulling the power supply straight up.
The tab is a piece of plastic from the left posterior aspect of the
tower which extends downward to hook on to the power supply. You may
also feel a horseshoe shaped piece at the right portion of the power
supply. Leave that alone. The plastic tab from the tower is all you
need release.
4) Look at the rear of the tower assembly. You will see the flat ribbon
SCSI connector to the hard drive, a power cable and a flat ribbon cable
leading to the floppy drive. Disconnect all these from the motherboard.
The hard drive power cable connector has a tab which must be squeezed
to release it.
5) Unplug the drive activity LED from its clear plastic mount
6) Look down the posterior, cylindrical section of the plastic tower. A
phillips head screw is at the base. Remove it, taking care not to drop
it into the case. A bit of gummy glue on your screwdriver is helpful
here.
7) Remove the tower assembly by pulling medially the plastic tab on the
right side of the tower. This tab prevents the tower from sliding
posteriorly. Slide the entire tower assembly 1 cm posteriorly then
lift the tower assembly straight up and out of the case.
8) Congratulations, you have now gained access to your machine's SIMM
slots.
9) The six big slots are for VRAM. One usually must install all six to
gain useful video modes. All SIMMS (RAM or VRAM) installed with their
chips facing the front of the motherboard.
The four smaller sockets in front are for RAM SIMMS. Install SIMMS in
sets of four into these sockets. Be sure you seat the SIMMS squarely
and firmly into a fully upright position.
10) Reinstall the tower assembly by first placing the right wall of the
tower against the right wall of the case with the tower assembly about
1 cm posterior of its intended position. Lower the tower assembly into
place while maintaining contact with the right wall of the case.
Once fully down, slide the tower assembly anteriorly until it clicks
into place.
11) Reconnect the motherboard ends of the cables. DONT'T FORGET THE FLOPPY
DRIVE CABLE.
12) Replace the phillips head screw
13) Drop the power supply straight down into place until it clicks in.
14) Plug the hard drive activity light back into its clear plastic mount | 14 | trimmed_train |

'SDPA.ORG' criminals/Nazis in action. Your fascist government got away with
the genocide of 2.5 million Turkish men, women and children and is enjoying
the fruits of that genocide. And your criminal organization will not get away
with the genocide's cover-up. In June 1915, a major uprising took place in
Sebinkarahisar under the leadership of the famous Nazi Boyadjian. The Moslem
districts were burnt down. Hundreds of soldiers and gendarmerie were killed
and hundreds of civilians also perished.
Armenians first of all occupied the Talori region, which included
the villages of Siner, Simai, Gulli-Guzat, Ahi, Hedenk, Sinank,
Ekind, Effard, Musson, Etek, Akcesser. Leaving their wives,
children and property in these inaccessible spots, the Armenians
joined forces with other armed bands coming from the Silvan
districts in the plain of Mus, after which the whole body of
3000 men gathered in the Andok Mt. Five or six hundred wished
to surround Mus, and started off by attacking the Delican tribe to
the south of the city. They slaughtered a number of the tribe and
seized their goods. The religious beliefs of the Muslims who fell
into their hands were derided and disparaged, and the Muslims
themselves murdered in the most frightful manner. The rebels
also attacked the regular troops in the vicinity of Mus, but the
large numbers of the regular forces prevented them from
occupying the city.
The rebels joined the bandits in the Andok Mts., carrying out
the most frightful massacres and looting among the tribes of the
neighbourhood. They burned Omer Agha's nephew alive. They
raped a number of Turkish women at a spot three or four hours'
distance from Gulli-Guzat and then strangled them.
At the beginning of August the rebels attacked the Faninar,
Bekiran and Badikan tribes, perpetrating equally horrible
atrocities. The rebels in the villages of Yermut and Ealigernuk in
the nahiye of Cinan in the kaza of Cal attacked the Kurds in the
neighbourhood, as well as the villages of Kaisser and Catcat.
Towards the end of August, the Armenians attacked the
Kurds in the vicinity of Mus and burned down three or four
villages, including Gulli-Guzat. As for the 3000 rebels in Talori,
they continued to spread death and destruction among the
Muslims and other Christian communities, refusing to lay down
their arms.

a picture of the country under occupation:
In the East, the Armenians are making preparations for advancing to the
River Halys (Kizilirmak), and have already started a policy of massacring
the Moslem population."
pp. 966-967.
"The situation of the southern provinces of Turkey after the signing of the
Mudros Armistice is described by Ataturk in his speech:
The Armenians in the south, armed by foreign troops and encouraged by the
protection they enjoyed, molested the Mohammedans of their district. They
pursued a relentless policy of murder and extinction everywhere. This was
responsible for the tragic incident at Maras....the Armenians had completely
destroyed an old Mohammedan town like Maras by their artillery and
machine-gun fire.
They killed thousands of innocent and defenceless women and children. The
Armenians were the instigators of the atrocities, which were unique in
history.

There's only one physical size for VRAM SIMMs (unlike DRAM SIMMs which
come in many, many sizes and pinouts), although they do come with
differing amounts of VRAM on them. The ones you need are 256KB SIMMs, are
organized as 128K x 16, and have two 128K x 8 VRAM chips on them. This is
the only size which the Quadra and Centris machines can use.
Two.
Both SIMM slots must be filled; putting a SIMM in only one slot does
nothing for you.
80 ns for the Q800 and C650, 100 ns for the C610.
There are certain VRAM chip manufacturers whose parts are not compatible
with the Quadra and Centris video hardware. Make sure that the source you
get them from guarantees compatiblity. In general, if it works in a Q950,
it will work in a Q800.

He's been playing horrible defense. Baylor said after Wednesday's game that
he wanted to shake up the lineup a little, because Bichette has been
having a rough time defensively and Jerald Clark has not been hitting.
He was true to his word; I went to Thursday's game and Gerald Young
was in right and Daryl Boston (who has a very hot bat) was in left.
Baylor was careful to say though that he didn't necessarily mean for
these changes to be permanent but he wanted to give these other two
a shot while Clark and Bichette were not playing well.
In defense of Bichette, it looks like right field in Mile High Stadium
is a bitch to play. Some of the visiting outfielders have been having
some problems too (although Bobby Bonilla made a great catch crashing into

There is also the question of what is meant by "atheist". A familiar

(2) I do not believe that you are are not wearing lilac socks
The two statements following are NOT consistent:
(3) I do believe that you are wearing lilac socks

Statements (1) and (2) require no faith, they make no presumptions about

So in other words, if Roussel shuts out the Sharks and Soderstrom shuts out
the Penguins, that's immaterial because it was the coaches decision? Come on,
Joe, think about what you're saying! Who they played is VERY significant.
Why they played them is what's irrelevent. A low GAA against good teams
is better than a low GAA against bad teams in the context of comparing two
goaltenders. A low GAA is better then a higher GAA. A low GAA against good
teams is much, much better than a higher GAA against bad teams in the context
of comparing two goaltenders.
YES IT DOES! Absolutely. **In the context of comparing two goaltenders**.
Of course, at the end of the season 2 points is 2 points no matter how you
get them. And on the score sheets shutouts are shutouts. But if you're a
coach deciding between two goalies, or a GM looking to make a trade, you
have got to look deeper than the stat sheets. I didn't see the second Toronto
game, but the first one was a defensive masterpiece. There was nothing in
that game to judge Tommy Soderstrom on because he wasn't tested. The same
for Roussel in the Ranger game. Two real scoring chances, one he made a
great play, the other he was saved by a mistake from the other player. If
you were judging Roussel on that game alone, you have very little to go by.
But if you were to look at the 0-0 tie against the Habs, you saw a goalie
stand on his head to get that shutout. THAT was a #1 goalie in action. Roussel
doesn't have a game like that in him.
Don't be so sure of that. FLYERS management never says bad thing about
Roussel, but they don't say too much on the good side either. I've seen
at least two interviews where every time Farwell was asked how happy he was
to have two good goaltenders, it was Tommy this, Tommy that, and oh, yeah,
Dom has played well too.
FLYERS in the NHL Hall of Fame. Kinda dull, really. They handed out a
team picture to everybody who walked in from Pizza Hut, but it was the
same picture they sold in the programs in mid-season. Had names like Benning,
Kasper...
Mostly random seat locations, some were given out by having certain
autographs on the team photos. I don't like that method since I've seen
guards help out people get things like Lindros pictures, surely if they
got their hands on an autographed picture they'd hold 'em for their buddies. | 17 | trimmed_train |

is the root cause of all the other suspicion.

So, your opinion is truth. I see... :-)
You can believe that if you wish. It is undeniable, however, that people
have left the compound unharmed and alive earier in the standoff.
And since their leader was preaching that they would have an apocalypse, you
can not say undeniably that there wouldn't have been a mass suicide if the
FBI had simply stayed outside and waited another 51 days.
I am the heartless bleeding heart? You are not making sense.
You seem to have no concern that someone would keep children inside this
compound when they had 51 days to let them out. That sounds pretty heartless
to me.
I just heard on the news that some of the survivors regret they hadn't
stayed in the inferno to prove their loyalty to Koresh. This makes me
sad and sick.
Have you ever heard of Jonestown?
The sad thing is the people inside the compound were the authority
worshipers and their only authority was Koresh/Howell. If these
people were able to think for themselves, there would likely be a lot
more survivors today. Koresh preached a fiery apocalypse as early as
last year.
By all means, the FBI should be investigated, too.
BTW, I thought the second ammendment was God. :-)

It's really not that hard to do. There are books out there which explain
everything, and the basic 3D functions, translation, rotation, shading, and
hidden line removal are pretty easy. I wrote a program in a few weeks witht
he help of a book, and would be happy to give you my source.
Also, Quickdraw has a lot of 3D functions built in, and Think pascal
can access them, and I would expect that THINK C could as well. If you can
find out how to use the Quickdraw graphics library, it would be an excellent
choice, since it has a lot of stuff, and is built into the Mac, so should be
fast.

I didnot know that "Master of wisdom" can be "name clling" too,
unless you consider yourself deserve-less !
That was only to confuse you! (ha ha ha hey )
^^^^^^^ are you trying to retaliate and confuse me here.
First, my above statement doesnot say that "the existence of israeli citizens
in the WB revoke their right of life" but it says "the israeli occupation
of the WB revoke the right of life for some/most its citizens - basically
revokes the right of for its military men". Clearly, occupation is an
undeclared war; during war, attacks against military targets are fully legitimate.
Secondly, surely israeli have human rights, but they ask their goverment to
protect it by withdrawing from the occupied terretories, not by further oppressing
Palestinean human rights.
Because not all states are like Israel, as oppressive, as ignorant, or as tyrant.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So you agree that that an israeli solution wouldnot preserve human rights.
(i am understanding this from your first statement in this paragraph).
Exactly, you are right. I guess that the problem is that the israeli goverment
is full with men like Joseph Weitz.
Above you wrote that you understood what i meant (underlined by ^ ):
any system can be used to solve the conflict , but not any system would
resolve it JUSTLY.
You are proving yourself as a " ". First you understood what i meant, but then
you claim you didnot so to claim a contradiction in my logic. Too bad for you,
the Master of Wisdom.
Why do you feel ashamed by things and facts that you believe in , if you were a
Zionists. If you believe in Zionist codes and acts, well i feel sorry for you,
because the same Rabbi Shoham had said "Yes, Zionism is racism".
If you feel ashamed and bothered by the Zionist codes, then drop Zionism.
If you are not Zionist, why are you bothered then. You should join me in
condemning these racist Zionist codes and acts.

7,186 | Interestingly enough, in designing the escrow, we may want to use some
rather unusual technology, such as sealed boxes of paper, or
destructive read memory, rather than typical computer databases, which
is fun for a database of hundreds of millions of keys.
The greatest danger of the escrow database, if it were kept on disk,
would be the chance that a complete copy could somehow leak out. You
can design lots of protection, but with enough corruption a complete
copy is always possible. Storing it on paper or something very hard
to copy at once may actually make sense. Or a medium that can't be
copied -- for example, something with very slow access times or which
leaves a destructive trail if it is even read.
Of course then it's hard to backup. However, I think the consequences
of no backup -- the data is not there when a warrant comes -- are worse
than the consequences of a secret backup.
An audit trail that reveals when data has been access, that *can't* be
erased by the humans involved, is also necessary. | 7 | trimmed_train |

Yeah. I don't use the clutch all the time either. I've done it
with Fords, BMW, Datsun, and Chevy and it works fine. I can't think of
any reason that it would damage the tranny. Essentially you are just
doing what the synchros do anyhow - match the engine speed with the
tranny speed and slip it into gear.
Sounds about right. I usually slip it out during throttle-down
and then blip the throttle and wait until it feels like things are right
(usually about a second) and then slip it into gear...

1,668 | OFM replies to a question on the multiplicity of translations of the bible,
Unfortunately, this isn't true. On another news group earlier this year,
someone posted that the King James Bible was the divinely inspired version
of the Bible in English and was, therefore, inerrant; all other English
translations were from Satan, trying to deceive the body of Christ. A
few years ago, the pastor of a church I was attending showed me a poster
advertising the availability of a certain man to address congregations.
Very prominantly on the poster was the fact that the man used only the KJV.
The idea that the KJV is THE English Bible is more prevalent than many
might think.
