You totally forgot the original post that you posted Allen. In that post
you stated that the "wrap" was on top of and in addition to any overhead.
Geez in this post you finally admit that this is not true.
Come your little ol buns down here and you will find out who is doing
what and who is working on integration. This is simply an ad hominum
attack and you know it.
Of course there is a fee. It is for administration. Geez Allen any
organization has costs but there is a heck of a difference in legitimate
costs, such as libraries and other things that must be there to support
a program and "wrap" as you originally stated it.You stated that wrap
was on top of all of the overhead which a couple of sentences down you
say is not true. Which is it Allen?
As you have posted on this subject Allen, you state that wrap is over and
above overhead and is a seperate charge. You admit here that this is wrong.
Nasa has a line item budget every year. I have seen it Allen. Get some
numbers from that detailed NASA budget and dig out the wrap numbers and then
howl to high heaven about it. Until you do that you are barking in the wind.
Integration could be done better at the centers. Apollo integration was
done here at Msfc and that did not turn out so bad. The philosophy of
Reston is totally wrong Allen. There you have a bunch of people who are
completely removed from the work that they are trying to oversee. There
is no way that will ever work. It has never worked in any large scale project
that it was ever tried on. Could you imagine a Reston like set up for
Apollo?
Oh you are full of it Allen on this one. I agree that JSC screwed up big.
They should be responsible for that screw up and the people that caused it
replaced. To make a stupid statement like that just shows how deep your
bias goes. Come to MSFC for a couple of weeks and you will find out just
how wrong you really are. Maybe not, people like you believe exactly what
they want to believe no matter what the facts are contrary to it.
I agree that integration is the single most important part of a successful
large scale effort. What I completly disagree with is seperating that
integration function from the people that are doing the work. It is called
leadership Allen. That is what made Apollo work. Final responsibility for
the success of Apollo was held by less than 50 people. That is leadership
and responsibility. There is neither when you have any organization set up
as Reston is. You could take the same people and move them to JSC or MSFC
and they could do a much better job. Why did it take a year for Reston to
finally say something about the problem? If they were on site and part of the
process then the problem would have never gotten out of hand in the first place.
There is one heck of a lot I do not know Allen, but one thing I do know is that
for a project to be successful you must have leadership. I remember all of the
turn over at Reston that kept SSF program in shambles for years do you? It is
lack of responsibility and leadership that is the programs problem. Lack of
leadership from the White House, Congress and at Reston. Nasa is only a
symptom of a greater national problem. You are so narrowly focused in your
efforts that you do not see this.
No, I am saying that if they were located at JSC it never would have
happened in the first place.
I have the time to reitereate one more timet that if the leadership that is
at reston was on site at JSC the problem never would have happened, totally
ignoring the lack of leadership of congress. This many headed hydra that
has grown up at NASA is the true problem of the Agency and to try to
change the question to suit you and your bias is only indicative of
your position.

DFW was designed with the STS in mind (which really mean very little). Much of
their early PR material had scenes with a shuttle landing and two or three
others pulled up to gates. I guess they were trying to stress how advanced the
airport was.
For Dallas types: Imagine the fit Grapevine and Irving would be having if the
shuttle WAS landing at DFW. (For the rest, they are currently having some power
struggles between the airport and surrounding cities).

I am no expert on this. But I am pretty sure there is no way to recover this. IDE drive has mapping information written directly on drives. When you low level format it, the information itself is gone as well, I don't think you can get it back unless you send it back to Western Digital and ask them to refurbish it for you.

Don't swallow propaganda as truth Sir. British promised to Venizelos
(greek PM) that mainly greek populated areas of the Ottomans will be
given to Greece, _if_ he will agree to drag Greece in the side of
the British during the WWI (because the greek King was proGerman).
The British succeeded by bombarding Athens (1916), killing quite a few,
forcing abdication of the King, division of Greece into two separate
states (North-South), and finally laying the ground for the most disasterous
division between greeks for our century.(So don't feel bitter that the
"Allies" gave any green light because they liked us....)
Anyway, the British succeed to establish Venizelos, war starts at a second
front against the Germans in the south while they were fighting the war
in the East against the Russians, and finally the WWII came in an end.
After that the British (and French) forgot immediately their promises
(as usually). Even though publicly they say that they support the Greek
cause, practically they not only do nothing, but instead, using some usual
"reasoning" and other crap rhetoric as a pretext, they gradually
backup Kemal (who had given now to the British "water and bread" that
he will dissolve the superethnic Ottoman and contract it into a small
ethnic-state). The main drive behind this British switch was the plan
to keep a Muslim state in the region as buffer against a Russian expansion
into warm-water facilities. The "greek empire" being an Orthodox Christian
state was too prone to become Russian client.
Out of this intrigue, the current state of affairs was established on our
lands. While Venizelos and Kemal were promoted as true "Giants" by the
British, since they worked to realize their goals in the region.
Under the same plan, currently Greece and Turkey are recipients of big
military funds from the US; both they are functioning as anti-Russian
buffers, while simultaneously both remain good clients of State Dept. because
otherwise the use of terror of changing "the balance of power in the Aegean"
will be used.
Under the same exact rational you should see the Cyprus problem.

Writer Kathy Sawyer reported in today's Washington Post that Joseph Shea, the
head of the space station redesign has resigned for health reasons.
Shea was hospitalized shortly after his selection in February. He returned
yesterday to lead the formal presentation to the independent White House panel.
Shea's presentation was rambling and almost inaudible.
Shea's deputy, former astronaut Bryan O'Connor, will take over the effort.
Goldin asserted that the redesign effort is on track.

It just occurred to me why the algorithm is secret. If it were
published, one could then build physically identical clone versions
of the chip that would interoperate with official Clipper chips. But
the cloner wouldn't provide the keys to the escrow houses. Hmmn.
Or is there a technical hack that I've missed? E.g. how about if the
chips were made unprogrammed but serialized, and then shipped to the
two escrow houses who programmed in their halves of the keys, but
in a way that requires that secret keys known only to the escrow houses
be installed as well, without which clone versions wouldn't
interoperate? This is getting awfully complicated, but that's
crypto for you.

[remainder of message deleted]
Pardon me for replying to only a portion of your message :)
The reason we can say "God just exists" and can't say "The universe just
exists" is because the universe is a natural realm and is subject to natural
laws in general and the law of cause and effect in particular. That is, we
observe in nature that every cause has an effect, and every effect was produced
by a cause. The existence of the natural realm, as an effect itself, cannot be
its own cause; it must therefore have a supernatural cause.
God, on the other hand, is a supernatural being, and is therefore not subject
to such natural laws as the law of cause and effect. As a supernatural being,
God's eternal existence does not imply a previous cause the way the existence
of a physical, natural cosmos does. Thus, those who believe in the
supernatural have a valid basis for accepting the existence of uncaused
phenomena such as the eternal God, whereas those who deny the existence of the
supernatural are faced with the dilemma of a physical universe whose very
nature shows that it is not sufficient to explain its own existence.
This is, of course, an oversimplification of a complex topic, but I just wanted
to clarify some important differences between the supernatural (God) and the
natural (the universe), since you seem to mistake them as being
interchangeable.

a global key G, plus one key U_C for each chip C. The user can choose a
new session key K_P for each phone call P he makes. Chip C knows three
keys: G, its own U_C, and the user's K_P. The government as a whole
knows G and every U_C. Apparently a message M is encrypted as
E_G(E_{U_C}(K_P),C) , E_{K_P}(M). That's it.
The system as described here can't possibly work. What happens when
someone plugs the above ciphertext into a receiving chip? To get M
the receiving chip needs K_P; to get K_P the receiving chip needs U_C.
The only information it can work with is C. If U_C can be computed
from C then the system is cryptographically useless and the ``key
escrow'' is bullshit. Otherwise how is a message decrypted?

The gravity data is collected in real-time and it not recorded to the tape
recorder. However, you only need to collect the gravity every 3rd or 4th
orbit, so there is no real data loss if the Moon blocks transmission for

I happen to be a big fan of Jayson Stark. He is a baseball writer for the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Every tuesday he writes a "Week in Review" column.
He writes about unusual situations that occured during the week. Unusual
stats. He has a section called "Kinerisms of the Week" which are stupid
lines by Mets brodcaster Ralph Kiner. Every year he has the LGTGAH contest.
That stands for "Last guy to get a hit." He also writes for Baseball
America. That column is sort of a highlights of "Week in Review." If you
can, check his column out sometime. He might make you laugh.

It is good to remember that every translation is to some extent an
interpretation, so (as you point out below) one must really go back to
the original Arabic. Regarding the verses relevant to nature, I prefer
to use Dr. Maurice Bucaille's translations (in his book, "The Bible, the
Qur'an and Science") for in general his translations are more literal.
Maurice Bucaille translates the portion of the verse you are addressing
as
"...Each one is travelling with an orbit in its own motion."
(Also note that "the celestial bodies" in the first translation quoted
by you above is the translator's interpolation -- it is not existent in
the original Arabic, which is why it is included in brackets.)
You're right, what the verses _do_ contain isn't all that remarkable.
However, Dr. Bucaille (a surgeon, that's how he's a "Dr.") thinks it is
significant that the above verse contains no geocentric ideas, even
though geocentrism was all the rage up until the 17th century (?) or so.
(And this goes for the rest of the Qur'an as well, which has about 750
verses or so regarding nature, I think I remember reading once.)

Do you question the existence of Alexander the Great, Tilgrath Pilisar III,
Nero, Caligula, Josephus, Cyrus the Great, Artexerxes? Their documents
have decayed to dust too. Brian, why another excuse?
Peter wrote a bit of the Bible. What Peter says about God is what
the Bible says.
Consider the Bible a court recording. Over the period of thousands of
years, various people come up and testify of their experience with the
living God. Up comes Abraham the wealthy rancher. Up comes Moses,
once the high official of Egypt. Up comes Elijah, a priest. Up comes
David, a mere shepherd who became King. Up comes the pagan King
Nebuchanezzar. Up comes the pagan King of Persia, Cyrus. Up comes
Nehemiah, cupbearer to the King of Persia. Then Matthew, an IRS agent
takes the stand. Up comes Luke, an M.D. Then Paul a Jew who use
to kill Christians for fun. Up comes John, a 17 year old boy. Up
comes Peter, a fishermen. Up comes James, the brother of Jesus himself.
Up comes hundreds of others. You hear testimony from fishermen, IRS
agents, priests, Kings. The court hearing lasts thousands of years
with people coming up and testifying about the God who calls himself
"I am."
While you are listening to all this stuff, you realize that
King David could have never known John, Solomon could have never known
Matthew, Nehemiah could have never known Peter. You realize that all these
people are independent witnesses, and so, you rule out collaboration. Yet
all of the witnesses tell of the same God. Each testifier tells
of his own experiences with the living God. Each experience is
different, but each experience has enough cross-over to unmistakenly
reveal that each one of these people is talking about the very same God.
What Daniel did not know about God, the 3rd Highest Official of
Babylon, God revealed to John 600 years later--but with a different
perspective. No two testimonies are identical. Each testimony
dares to venture off what is already known. Yet each witness's
testimony, even though different from those prior, consistently
describes harmoniously fitting facets of the character of the same God.
Now. As we stare gazing at the computer, you got this seeming fanatic
on the other end of the net, saying, I know this God "I am". He has
revealed himself to me too. He also calls himself Jesus (John 8:58).
Please believe me. I am telling the truth. It is wonderful to know him.

FAQ for sci.crypt, part 6: Public-Key Cryptography
This is the sixth of ten parts of the sci.crypt FAQ. The parts are
mostly independent, but you should read the first part before the rest.
We don't have the time to send out missing parts by mail, so don't ask.
Notes such as ``[KAH67]'' refer to the reference list in the last part.
The sections of this FAQ are available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu
as /pub/usenet/news.answers/cryptography-faq/part[xx]. The Cryptography
FAQ is posted to the newsgroups sci.crypt, sci.answers, and news.answers
every 21 days.
Contents:
* What is public-key cryptography?
* What's RSA?
* Is RSA secure?
* How fast can people factor numbers?
* What about other public-key cryptosystems?
* What is public-key cryptography?
In a classic cryptosystem, we have encryption functions E_K and
decryption functions D_K such that D_K(E_K(P)) = P for any plaintext
P. In a public-key cryptosystem, E_K can be easily computed from some
``public key'' X which in turn is computed from K. X is published, so
that anyone can encrypt messages. If D_K cannot be easily computed
from X, then only the person who generated K can decrypt messages.
That's the essence of public-key cryptography, published by Diffie
and Hellman in 1976.
In a classic cryptosystem, if you want your friends to be able to
send secret messages to you, you have to make sure nobody other than
them sees the key K. In a public-key cryptosystem, you just publish X,
and you don't have to worry about spies.
This is only the beginning of public-key cryptography. There is an
extensive literature on security models for public-key cryptography,
applications of public-key cryptography, other applications of the
mathematical technology behind public-key cryptography, and so on.
* What's RSA?
RSA is a public-key cryptosystem defined by Rivest, Shamir, and
Adleman. For full details, there is a FAQ available by ftp at
RSA.COM. Here's a small example.
Plaintexts are positive integers up to 2^{512}. Keys are quadruples
(p,q,e,d), with p a 256-bit prime number, q a 258-bit prime number,
and d and e large numbers with (de - 1) divisible by (p-1)(q-1). We
define E_K(P) = P^e mod pq, D_K(C) = C^d mod pq.
Now E_K is easily computed from the pair (pq,e)---but, as far as
anyone knows, there is no easy way to compute D_K from the pair
(pq,e). So whoever generates K can publish (pq,e). Anyone can send a
secret message to him; he is the only one who can read the messages.
* Is RSA secure?
Nobody knows. An obvious attack on RSA is to factor pq into p and q.
See below for comments on how fast state-of-the-art factorization
algorithms run. Unfortunately nobody has the slightest idea how to
prove that factorization---or any realistic problem at all, for that
matter---is inherently slow. It is easy to formalize what we mean by
``RSA is/isn't strong''; but, as Hendrik W. Lenstra, Jr., says,
``Exact definitions appear to be necessary only when one wishes to
prove that algorithms with certain properties do _not_ exist, and
theoretical computer science is notoriously lacking in such negative
results.''
* How fast can people factor numbers?
It depends on the size of the numbers. In October 1992 Arjen Lenstra
and Dan Bernstein factored 2^523 - 1 into primes, using about three
weeks of MasPar time. (The MasPar is a 16384-processor SIMD machine;
each processor can add about 200000 integers per second.) The
algorithm there is called the ``number field sieve''; it is quite a
bit faster for special numbers like 2^523 - 1 than for general numbers
n, but it takes time only about exp(O(log^{1/3} n log^{2/3} log n)) in
any case.
An older and more popular method for smaller numbers is the ``multiple
polynomial quadratic sieve'', which takes time exp(O(log^{1/2} n
log^{1/2} log n))---faster than the number field sieve for small n,
but slower for large n. The breakeven point is somewhere between 100
and 150 digits, depending on the implementations.
Factorization is a fast-moving field---the state of the art just a few
years ago was nowhere near as good as it is now. If no new methods are
developed, then 2048-bit RSA keys will always be safe from
factorization, but one can't predict the future. (Before the number
field sieve was found, many people conjectured that the quadratic
sieve was asymptotically as fast as any factoring method could be.)
* What about other public-key cryptosystems?

The biggest reason why the cost of medical care is so EXTREMELY high and
increasing is that NATURAL methods of treatment and even diagnosis are still
being SYSTEMATICALLY IGNORED and SUPPRESSED by the MONEY-GRUBBING and POWER-
MONGERING "medical" establishment.
Some examples of very low cost NATURAL ANTI-cancer Remedies are listed in
the following article:
NATURAL ANTI-CANCER REMEDIES
A 3RD OPINION
( Some of these Remedies also work against AIDS. )
DISCLAIMER: This list was compiled from unorthodox sources
that have shown themselves to be reliable. The compiler of
this list is NOT a doctor of any kind, but is exercising his
First Amendment Constitutional RIGHT of FREE SPEECH on the
subjects of his choice.
( MOST of these Remedies can be found in ANY Grocery Store.
MOST of the rest of them can be found in ANY Health Food
Store. What is important is HOW they are used, and what
else is EXCLUDED DURING their use. )
(1) THE 7-DAY FAST.
1st day: Eat as much fresh fruit as you want, one kind
at a time, preferably grapes.
2nd day: Eat all the vegetables you want, at least half
raw, including GARLIC; also, whole kernel corn to help scrape
clean the intestinal linings.
3rd day: Drink all the fresh fruit and vegetable juice
you want. Preferably start with 16 to 32 ounces of prune
juice WITH PULP, followed by a gallon of pure (NOT from
concentrate) apple juice, then grape juice. (Stay close to
your home bathroom.)
4th day: Eat all the UN-salted nuts (NO peanuts) and
dried fruit you want, preferably raisins and almonds (ALMONDS
CONTAIN LAETRILE.).
5th day: ONE GALLON OF LEMONADE. Squeeze the juice from
two lemons into a gallon of water (preferably distilled), and
add 2 to 4 tablespoons of locally-made honey, (NO sugar).
Drink one glass per hour.
[EVERYone, including healthy people, should do this one day
every week, preceded by a large glass of prune juice WITH
PULP.]
6th day: Same as 5th day.
7th day: Same as 6th day.
All 7 days, eat ONLY the foods listed above for each
day, along with your usual vitamin and mineral supplements,
plus as much DISTILLED WATER as you want.
(2) THE GRAPE DIET.
Eat 2 to 3 ounces of fresh grapes every 2 hours, 8 AM to
8 PM, every day for six days. Eat NOTHING else during the
six days, but drink as much DISTILLED WATER as you want.
(3) APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
Mix a teaspoon of pure apple cider vinegar (NOT apple
cider "flavored" vinegar. Regular vinegar is HARMFUL.) in a
glass of water (preferably distilled) and drink all of it.
Do this 3 or 4 times per day, for 3 weeks; then stop for a
week. Repeat if desired. Do this along with a normal
healthy diet of natural foods. This remedy is especially
effective against those types of cancer that resemble a
FUNGUS, as well as against other kinds of fungus infections.
(4) THE SEA-SALT & SODA BATH. [Please keep an OPEN MIND.]
Fill a bathtub with moderately warm water so the level
comes up almost to the overflow drain when you get in.
Immerse yourself in it for a minute, and then completely
dissolve in the bath water 1 pound of SUN-evaporated SEA-salt
(regular salt won't work.) and 1 pound of fresh baking-soda.
Soak in this bath for 10 to 20 minutes, while exercising
your fingers, toes, and limbs, turning sideways and onto your
stomach, dunking your head, sitting up and laying back down,
chomping your teeth together, etc..
Among other things, the SEA-salt & Soda Bath neutralizes
the accumulated effects of X-rays, etc., as described in the
book "Born To Be Magnetic, Vol. 2", by Frances Nixon, 1973.
PRECAUTIONS: Only the ONE person using each bath should
prepare it and drain it.
For at least 30 minutes after taking the bath, stay away
from, and even out of sight of, other people. (Your greatly
expanded Aura energy-field during that time could disrupt
other people's fields.) Two hours after the bath, eat at
least 8 ounces of yogurt containing ACTIVE Yogurt Cultures.
(The bath may kill FRIENDLY bacteria also.) Better yet, take
a 2-Billion-bacteria "Acidophilus" capsule, which is also an
EXCELLENT DAILY REMEDY AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF "A.I.D.S."
(because it kills all kinds of harmful bacteria in the
digestive tract, taking a big load off the remaining immune
system). [Because this external bath can kill IN-ternal
bacteria, it may also be a CURE for "Lyme disease".]
Do NOT take this bath within a few hundred miles of a thunder
storm, within 3 days of a full moon, nor during "Major" or
"Minor Periods" as listed in the "Solunar Tables" published
bimonthly in "Field & Stream" Magazine, (because of the
measurable disruptive ambient environmental energy-fields
present at those times).
Do NOT take this bath more than four times per year.
(5) MISCELLANEOUS NATURAL ANTI-CANCER REMEDIES:
For skin cancer, apply STABILIZED Aloe Vera Jel to the
affected skin twice daily, and take 2 to 4 tablespoons
per day of STABILIZED Aloe Vera Juice internally, for
about 2 months.
D.M.S.O. (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) causes cancer cells to
perform NORMAL cell functions.
ALMONDS (UN-blanched, UN-roasted) CONTAIN LAETRILE.
To help prevent cancer, eat several almonds every day.
To help cure cancer, eat several OUNCES of almonds per
day.
[NEVER take large concentrated doses of Laetrile orally.
IT WILL KILL YOU! Take it INTRAVENOUSLY ONLY. (Cancer
cells contain a certain enzyme which converts Laetrile
into cyanide, which then kills the cell. This enzyme is
ALSO present in the digestive system.)]
ANTI-OXIDANTS are FREE-RADICAL SCAVENGERS, and include
Vitamin E, Selenium (200 mcg. per day is safe for most
people.), Chromium (up to 100 mcg. per day), Vitamin A
(25,000 IU per day is safe for most people.), Superoxide
Dismutase (up to 4,000,000 Units per day), Vitamin C (up
to 3000 mg. per day), and BHT (Butylated Hydroxy-
toluene), [1 to 4 capsules of BHT every night at bedtime
will also MAKE ONE IMMUNE AGAINST HERPES (BOTH types),
suppress herpes symptoms if one already has herpes,
prevent spreading herpes to other people, but will not
cure herpes. BHT MIGHT ALSO DO THESE THINGS AGAINST
"A.I.D.S.", which is really a form of cancer similar to
leukemia.] (See the book "Life Extension", by Durk
Pearson and Sandy Shaw.)
HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE. Dilute twelve(12) drops of 3%
hydrogen-peroxide in a glass of pure water (preferably
DISTILLED) and drink it. Do this once or twice per day,
hours before or after eating or drinking anything else.
Apply 3% hydrogen-peroxide directly to skin cancers
several times per day.
Use hydrogen-peroxide ONLY if you are taking a good
daily dose of some of the various anti-oxidants
described above.
VITAMIN & MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS are more effective, and
much less expensive, when COMBINED together in MEGA
doses into SINGLE tablets made from NATURAL sources.
Cancer cells can NOT live in a strong (100,000 Maxwell)
NORTH MAGNETIC FIELD, especially if it is pulsating on
and off. [A strong south magnetic field is an
aphrodisiac.] In my opinion, ALL types of ionizing-
radiation treatments for cancer should be REPLACED with
daily 30-minute doses of pulsating 100,000-Maxwell NORTH
magnetic fields.
Properly made and operated RADIONICS/PSIONICS MACHINES
can both diagnose and cure all forms of cancer, as well
as most other medical problems. Some Radionics/Psionics
Machines can even take cross-sectional X-ray-like photos
of cancer tumors, etc., with-OUT X-rays!

The above NATURAL Remedies can CURE both diagnosed AND UN-
DIAGNOSED cancers, as well as PREVENT them, and also prevent
and cure many other medical problems including heart-
diseases. They are NOT too simple and inexpensive to work
effectively.
Besides acting on a person biologically and chemically, these
remedies, especially The 7-Day Fast and The Grape Diet, send
a strong message to one's subconscious mind, PROGRAMMING it
to CURE the cancer.
In my opinion, if a person finds out that s/he has cancer,
then s/he should promptly try at least the first 4 remedies
described above, in sequence (starting with The 7-Day Fast),
BEFORE resorting to the UN-natural and expensive mutilations
and agonies [POISON, BURN, and MUTILATE!] of orthodox cancer
treatment [organi$ed-CRIME!].

Are you trying to say that there were no massacres in Deir Yassin
or in Sabra and Shatila? If so then let me tell you some good jokes:
There is not and was not any such thing like jewish killing in WWII
Palestinians just did what Davidians did for fourty years and more.
In fact no one was killed in any war at any time or any place.
People die that is all. No one gets killed.
Maybe also vietamiese didn't die in Vietnam war killed by american
napalm they were just pyromaniacs and that's all.
Maybe jews just liked gas chambers and no one forced them to get in there.they
may be thought it was like snifing cocaine. No?
What do you think of this ? Isn't it stupid to say so?
Well it is as stupid as what you said .Next time you want to lie do it
intelligently.
Sincerely yours.

What, did you leave the room each of the 100 or so times they said that
there WERE NO OTHER NIGHT BASEBALL GAMES? Every break they took back at
the studio mentioned it, followed by 'so...we're gonna show you hockey
instead.' My wife and I are hoping for rain at every baseball game they
have a feed for tommorrow night...
Point is, be glad they showed hockey, but if baseball was available
anywhere else you can bet you would've watched baseball last night.

I have a long sighted eye and a short sighted eye. My right eye tends
to cut out when I look at distant things, my left eye when I am close
up. I had specs to balance things up a bit but could do without them.
I thought that, one way or another, I would always be able to see
clearly. Unfortunately middle age is rearing its ugly head and I can
no longer see close up objects clearly. Maybe it's just that my arms

Well, yes. That was a part of my point. Aspirin has its problems, but
in some situations it is useful. Ditto stuff like licorice root. Taking
anything as a drug for theraputic purposes implicitly carries the idea
of taking a dose where the benefits are not exceeded by any unwanted,
additional effects. Taking any drug when the potential ill-effects are
not known is a risk assumed by the parties involved, and it may be that
in a given situation the risk is worthwhile.
Like Prozac, for instance; Prozac has been shown to be theraputic in
some cases where the tri-cyclics fail. But Prozac hasn't been in use
that long, and it really isn't clear what if any effects it may have
when taken over long periods of time, even though it has been tested
by present day standards. Should Prozac be taken off the market because
long-term effects, if any, are not known? IMHO, i'd say no.

There is a certain truth to this statement. Only I would use the word
"medicine" instead of drug. With regard to the condition of the human
soul, Christianity is first and foremost a healing medicine. It also
strengthens and enables one, as healing takes hold, to grow in new
strength and health to live and be and to do that for which God created
us.
Christ's medicine, rightly allowed to work, brings one nearer to
reality and offers the clarity of understanding and the strength
of spirit with which to meet it in a healthy human way.

Then allow me to enlighten you, Rex. You see, there's a thing called a tie.
A tie is worth one point (I know, I know. You're not good at math. But bear
with me). A win is worth two points. So, getting two ties is the same as
getting one win. If your team played two games, won one and lost one, you'd
have two points. If my team played two games and tied them both, we'd also
have two points. We'd be tied in the standings even though our records are
different.
Perhaps you should learn something about hockey before posting again. (I am
starting to sound like Roger or what?)

I have a question about digital communications encryption:
The Fact Sheet mentioned encryption/decryption microcircuitry with
special "keys" for law enforcement for wire tapping purposes.
If I wanted to, couldn't I develop encryption of my own? That
is, if me and a partner in crime had unique Encryption/decryption
devices installed before the "tappable" one, couldn't we circumvent
the "keys" system? Or replace it?
I'd be really interested in knowing how the E/D microcircuits might
be made to prevent such befuddlement! (Laymans' Language, please! maybe a bit
technical...)

No, there is something called the "Delany Amendment" which makes carcinogenic
food additives illegal in any amount. This was passed by Congress in the
1950's, before stuff like mass spectrometry became available, which increased
detectable levels of substances by a couple orders of magnitude.
This is why things like cyclamates and Red #2 were banned. They are very
weakly carcinogenic in huge quantities in rats, so under the Act they are
banned.
This also applies to natural carcinogens. Some of you might remember a
time back in the 1960's when root beer suddenly stopped tasting so good,
and never tasted so good again. That was the time when safrole was banned.
This is the active flavoring ingredient in sassafras leaves.
If it were possible to market a root beer good like the old days, someone
would do it, in order to make money. The fact that no one does it indicates
that enforcement is still in effect.

The worst thing is that this is exactly what I did last year. I had the Rangers

I'd rather have SC cover it, just for the amount of coverage.
I think Thorne earns his money. The best part is that he is the same way when
he is earning his $$ from SportsChannel as the Devils announcer (i.e.,
unbiased). He goes orgasmic for goals, despite which team scores, and even more
excited (if possible) for great saves. He did a good job of explaining certain

Disclaimer -- This is for fun.
In my computerized baseball game, I keep track of a category called
"stolen hits", defined as a play made that "an average fielder would not
make with average effort." Using the 1992 Defensive Averages posted
by Sherri Nichols (Thanks Sherri!), I've figured out some defensive stats
for the second basemen. Hits Stolen have been redefined as "Plays Kurt
Stillwell would not have made."
OK, I realize that's unfair. Kurt's probably the victim of pitching staff,
fluke shots, and a monster park factor. But let's put it this way: If we
replaced every second baseman in the NL with someone with Kurt's 57.6% out
making ability, how many extra hits would go by?
To try and correlate it to reality a little more, I've calculated Net
Hits Stolen, based on the number of outs made compared to what a league
average fielder would make. By the same method I've calculated Net Double
Plays, and Net Extra Bases (doubles and triples let by).
Finally, I throw all this into a a formula I call Defensive Contribution, or
DCON :->. Basically, it represents the defensive contribution of a player.
I add this number to OPS to get DOPS (Defense + Onbase Plus Slug), which
should represent the player's total contribution to the team. So don't
take it too seriously. The formula for DCON appears at the end of this
article.
The short version -- definition of terms
HS -- Hits Stolen -- Extra outs compared to Kurt Stillwell
NHS -- Net Hits Stolen -- Extra outs compared to average fielder
NDP -- Net Double Plays -- Extra double plays turned compared to avg fielder
NEB -- Net Extra Bases -- Extra bases prevented compared to avg. fielder
DCON -- Defensive Contribution -- bases and hits prevented, as a rate.
DOPS -- DCON + OPS -- quick & dirty measure of player's total contribution.

More discussion --
DCON formula: ((NHS + NDP)/PA) + ((NHS + NDP + NEB)/AB)
Why such a bizzare formula? Basically, it's designed to be added into the
OPS, with the idea that "a run prevented is as important as a run scored".
The extra outs are factored into OBP, while the extra bases removed are
factored into SLG. That's why I used PA and AB as the divisors.
For more discussion see the post on Hits Stolen -- First Base 1992

Wow, the WWII channel did something not-WWII?
The graphics capabilities of the computers were very faked for movie
audiences who have not ability or patience with numbers. The book was more
realistic in that respect. In all respects, actually. The robotics are
still out of range, but not impossible.
SF (and I"ve always wondered how Crichton escapes this classification) is
usually ahead of science in both prediction and precaution. NASA's
decontaimination processes were supposedly taken to prevent SF story
disasters. I mean, NASA scientists were often SF readers (and
sometimes writers) and felt pre-warned by their reading.
I think the film still holds up among the best of SF films, but that isn't
saying a whole lot.

Hi, everyone;
I need an advice on what is the best way to get a scumster.
Several weeks ago I posted an article on behalf of a friend who wanted
an external HD for mac. The scumster - R.E.P. - called my friend and
they agreed on a price. My friend (unexperienced and not too fluent in
English) paid by check, requesting R.E.P. to call him back when the check
arrives and the HD is send. Well, the check was cashed 3/24 and that is
that. Phone # that R.E.P. gave is on the answering machine all the time
and there is no reaction when the message is left; e-mail address does not
bounce but again there is no answer. I know, that R.E.P. is a student at
University of Delaware; I have his e-mail address, his US postal address
and his (?) phone#. The question is: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Sincerely,
Victor Levenson ([email protected])
P.S. The reason I did not put R.E.P.'s full name is that I still hope...
P.P.S. If I get enough responses I will post a summary, maybe even on a
regular basis.

I have a few minor problems with the article posted as proof of
Christ's resurrection.
First the scriptural quotations:
This sort of reasoning is such that if you beleive you are justified,
if not then your beleif is in vain, so you might as well beleive. Most
of these quotations are of people who do beleive. People who would
try to justify their own positions.
Second the logical proof:
The period of time that has elapsed from the event growing larger
does not increase the odds that a hoax would be discovered. In fact
the longer a hoax is perpetuated the stronger it becomes.
Finally:
There is no proof of the resurrection of Christ, except in our spirits
communion with his, and the Father's. It is a matter of FAITH, belief
without logical proof. Incedently one of the largest stumbling blocks for
rational western man, myself included.

Thanks to all of you who gave advice on the CB900 Custom.
As recommended, I had the bike compression tested. Compression was
a little low, but very even across the four cylinders (+/- 5 psi). They
said that it was tested a little cold, so that would explain the low
numbers (around 90). Does this sound right? Otherwise, the bike looked
great. No signs of road rash, and no rust. This bike looks great!
It is now in the shop getting tuned and new tires.
I am opting for the Metzler ME55 and ME33 tires (thanks to those
who posted this other thread). This bike is _BIG_ compared to my other bikes.
( Sure is alot harder to load on a trailer than the KDX200 was. ) I should

With yet another tax being floated by the Clinton administration to
pay for new ``free'' social programs, I've really begun to suspect
that the Canadians, long resentful of their place in the American
shadow, brainwashed an American draft dodger who fled to Canada some
time between 1966 and 1968, tutored him in the ways of Canadian
socialism, awarded him with smokeless marijuana cigarettes when he got
the correct answers, then returned him to the states (under the
control of the domineering wife assigned to his case) to attain high
public office and destroy the evil individualistic and free market
forces in America, thus shaping America in the Canadian image.

2Pe 1 19 ¶ And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and
you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark
place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
This is a documented testimony. Perhaps further research on your part is
warranted before making more statements. There is considerably more to study
in Peters' two books of testimony regarding the Messiah. It is well worth
your time, Mr. Brian.

Although the Hebrew expression LE'UM is used, the ID card specifically states on
the 2nd page: EZRACHUT YISREALIT: Israeli citizen. This is true for all
Israeli citizens no matter what their ethnicity. In the United States most
official forms have RACE (Caucasian, Black, AmerIndian, etc.).
Funny, I have a number of maps and ALL of them have fixed borders.
Probably yes. So what ?
Apart from Mordechai Vanunu who had a trial behind closed doors, there was one
other espionage case (the nutty professor at the Nes Ziona Biological
Institute who was a K.G.B. mole) who was tried "in camera". I wouldn't exactly
call it a state secret. The trial was simply tried behind closed doors. I hate
to disappoint you but the United States has tried a number of espionage cases
in camera.
Not Jews. Israeli citizens. Jordanian law is in effect in the West Bank but the
KNESSET passed a law that Israeli law would be binding on Israeli citizens
residing in the West Bank. These citizens could be Jews, Israeli Muslims, Druze,
or Israeli Christians. It has NOTHING to do with religion.
Anyone who was registered (Jew, Muslim, Christian) could return. You might be
confusing this with the census taken in June 1967 on the West Bank after the
Six Day War. In *this* instance, if the Arab was not physically present he
couldn't reside on the West Bank (e.g. if he had been visting Jordan).
No. Not even if you drowned him in bourbon, scotch or brandy :-)
Not true. Although a minority, there *are* some Israeli Arabs living on
kibbutzim. On the other hand, at my age (42) I wouldn't be admitted to a
kibbutz nor could the family join me. Not that I would be so thrilled to do so
in the first place. The kibbbutz movement places candidates under rigorous
membership criteria. Many Israeli Jews are not admitted.
The religious status quo in Israel has marriage and divorce handled by the
religious courts. The RABBANUT handles marriage and divorce for Jews, the
Muslim SHAARIA courts are for Muslims, the Christian denominations have their
religious courts, and the Druze have their own courts. The entire religious
establishment (Jewish, Muslim, Druze, Christian) wants to keep it that way.
I believe it's adjacent to a former Muslim cemetary. From what I heard (and I'd
like to get feedback from Muslins on the net) sanctity of cemetaries is not
held that sancrosanct as it is held by Jews. The current Israeli Ministry of
Trade and Industry on Agron Road in Jerusalem is housed in a former hotel that
was built by Arabs in the 1920's on the site of an Arab cemetary.

And the Commonwealth of Virginia has not exactly butted
against the issue on those grounds. The claim is that AS A MATTER

detector on the dashboard while operating a motor vehicle.
Yes, the argument is bogus, BUT... it hasn't been successfully

/So. Why is someone elses will such a big deal if morality is all relative.
I don't believe I ever said that morality was all relative.
What I said was that I can make my mind up on my own, thank you, and that
you don't have the right to tell others what to think.
I think that you will find that in most moral systems, there is
a respect for human life and the dignity of the person. It is all the
stuff besides these points that forms the core of the disagreement between
primitive moral absolutists like yourself and the rest of us.

I don't mean to be disrespectful to your concerns, but it seems to me
that you're getting all wound up in a non-issue.
As many knowledgeable people have pointed out, msg is a naturally
occurring substance in a lot, if not most, foods. When food
manufacturers add it to a preparation, they do so because it's a
known flavor enhancer.
Your wife's theory, that MSG is added to food to stimulate appetite,
may well be true. But I don't believe it's ALWAYS the reason it's
added. People are (largely, for the most part) in charge of their
own appetites.
You don't know much about cats, do you?
Cats will Take Advantage of You. Resign yourself: you will never
understand a cat. Their tastes are whimsical.
I also suspect, though it's been a while since I've checked ingredients
on commercial cat food, that there are much more stringent requirements
on pet food additives than human.
See, the FDA has this stupid idea that human beings have the intelligence
to look out after their own interests.

First, I am not a doctor. I know about this because I have been
through it.
It sounds like tonsilitis (lit. swollen tonsils). Feel under your jaw
hinge for a swelling on each side. If you find them, its tonsilitis.
I've had this a couple of times in the past. The doctor prescribed a
weeks course of penicillin and that cleared it up.
In my case it was associated with glandular fever, which is a viral
infection which (from my point of view) resembled flu and tonsilitis
that kept coming back for a year or so. There is a blood test for
this.
In conclusion, see a doctor (if you have not done so already).

I was a graduate student in the early 1980s, and we had a conference on
Reaganomics where Jerry Jordan, then a member of the Council of Economic
Advisors, was a speaker. I had the pleasure of driving him back to the
airport afterwards, and since taxes were the main topic of discussion I
thought I would ask him about the VAT. I have favored it for these reasons
you mention, that the income base is too hazy to define, that it taxes
savings and investment, that it is likely to be more visible. He agreed,
and reported that the CEA at that time was in favor of VAT. So why not
propose it? I asked. He replied that the Reagan White House feared that
the Democrats would introduce VAT *in addition to* the income tax, rather
than in lieu. Better not to give them any ideas, he said.
Pretty prescient.
Yes, any Canadian readers, please tell us if the tax is displayed on price
stickers (I'm relatively certain it is not in Europe).

As to what that headpiece is....
(by [email protected])
SOURCE: AP NEWSWIRE
The Vatican, Home Of Genetic Misfits?
Michael A. Gillow, noted geneticist, has revealed some unusual data
after working undercover in the Vatican for the past 18 years. "The
Popehat(tm) is actually an advanced bone spur.", reveals Gillow in his
groundshaking report. Gillow, who had secretly studied the innermost
workings of the Vatican since returning from Vietnam in a wheel chair,
first approached the scientific community with his theory in the late
1950's.
"The whole hat thing, that was just a cover up. The Vatican didn't
want the Catholic Community(tm) to realize their leader was hefting
nearly 8 kilograms of extraneous bone tissue on the top of his
skull.", notes Gillow in his report. "There are whole laboratories in
the Vatican that experiment with tissue transplants and bone marrow
experiments. What started as a genetic fluke in the mid 1400's is now
scientifically engineered and bred for. The whole bone transplant idea
started in the mid sixties inspired by doctor Timothy Leary
transplanting deer bone cells into small white rats." Gillow is quick
to point out the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II and the
disappearance of Dr. Leary from the public eye.
"When it becomes time to replace the pope", says Gillow, "The old pope
and the replacement pope are locked in a padded chamber. They butt
heads much like male yaks fighting for dominance of the herd. The
victor emerges and has earned the privilege of inseminating the choir
boys."

Who wants to look through the bars at some reactionary Liberal conspiracy-
theory idiots and see how they rant and rave at the erosion of their populist
support? This is very typical of the elitist Liberal attitude that The People
are incapable of thinking for themselves. This elitist attitude will be the
eventual undoing of the arrogant liberal tide sweeping America, as The People
begin to realize more and more that they are being treated like errant children
and robbed of their freedoms by a bunch of Utopian arrogent socialist jerks.
Although I find myself often disagreeing with the populist rationale
of Mr. Limbaugh, I find him entertaining and I often agree with his
conclusions. The fact that he sends liberal reactionaries like these
idiots through the roof makes him all the more entertaining.
Actually, I find Limbaugh's oratory less than sizzling and his debating
skills sometimes lacking, even though his conclusions are often correct.
I would suggest that a bankrupt leftist ideology that hopes to use concentrated
political power and a loaded gun to force everyone to do the "right" things
(where "right" is defined by the elitist academics who lead the movement)
is showing an acute case of "myopic social perspective", not to mention
arrogance and utter stupidity.
Limbaugh is certainly far from perfect, but his opponents in the established
body politic and the media are the ones arguing for Federal control of
virtually all aspects of the lives of the Citizenry, and for the elimination
of local control over Affairs Public.
Perhaps Limbaugh has a following because The People are tired of being treated
like errant children by a self-important group of arrogant controlling myopic
people who have no understanding of how life operates outside of the "oughta-be's"
inside their own hopelessly closed minds.
OK, let us take your word for that and work with it. A nice specific
incident.
Hmmm, "Congress shall pass no law regarding an establishment of religion,
nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Liberal translation: "the
federal government (as long as it is run by Liberals) may force local
school districts to include certain iconic content in Christmas displays,
while prohibiting others."
I think Limbaugh has you on this one. It seems to me that he is arguing
for LESS imposition of the federal government into religion.
Nice job on the specificity of that one, too.
[Analysis of historical/modern communication media deleted]
Ah yes, it is a conspiracy of profound proportions. Methinks that you
may be a bit resentful of Mr. Limbaugh's success because you attribute it
primarily to luck (how, after all, could anyone with profound differences
of opinion from yourself have become successful without the operation of
conspiracy or blind luck!) Do you feel this same level of knee-jerk
resentment against lottery winners, or do you congratulate them on their
good fortune?
This should be great fun, since it is the Liberal movement in America
that is pushing the hardest for centralized fascist control of The People
and business (government/business 'partnership' indeed), and Mr. Limbaugh
is the populist nemesis of that movement.
I have read Mr. Limbaugh's book, and although it was not the most literary
piece I have read in recent memory it certainly did not contain "venom"
at all, let alone "venom" comparable to an individual who callously murdered
millions out of racism.
A very serious tone in that oratory.
You neglect to mention that Mr. Limbaugh (have you ever listened to his show,
BTW?) continuously encourages his audience to think for themselves rather
than blindly following any media icon, himself included. You yourself mention
that he makes no bones about his show being strictly about his own opinions.
He also adopts a rather satirical approach, and presumes his audience to be
intelligent enough to distinguish satire from seriousness (and he says as much).
This is in contrast to the average mass-media show, in which the audience is
treated as society's intellectual lowest common denominator.
I am sure that Adolf Hitler was a master of satire; I am sure he was just
kidding when he said that the Jews were the cause of Germany's problems and
needed to be exterminated.
This is not religion, it is clearly a perverse worship of race. Since
Christ was a Jew, it seems quite unlikely that Hitler's characterization of
the Aryan as "the highest image of the Lord" fits with Christian doctrine.
Private religious schools have a vastly better record of success than
publicly funded schools. American history is indeed primarily Judeo-
Christian. I suppose that Mr. Limbaugh pointing out facts is equivalent
to Adolf Hitler worshiping the Aryan race. I think you might be reaching
just a wee bit here.
Definite suggestion that the government should control the entertainment
industry here.
Just a guess here, but I don't think that Mr. Limbaugh would advocate
government control of Hollywood. You should perhaps call his radio show
to confirm this. I believe this is more a criticism of Hollywood and the
depraved moral values it espouses, not an advocation of government control
of Hollywood.
90's Liberals, on the other hand, want to have complete government control
of our school systems, so that the government can teach The People at an
early age the "right" way to view religion and morality. I believe Mr.
Limbaugh is against this, as his satirical use of the "young heads full
of mush" hyperbole indicates.
Pretty strong conspiracy theory insinuated here, with an implicit plea for
government power to be used to break up the conspiracy.
Indication here that "Elements of the Media" (since career is a self-selected
categorization, perhaps an inferred 'larger percentage than represented in
the populace at large') has a leftist bias. Doesn't sound too unreasonable.
No insinuation that CNN should not report in an objective fashion, only
that for reporters to say that they do not have any personal bias in the
situation is disingenuous to megalomaniacal.
You may disagree, and it may well be exagerrated, but it is not an unreasonable
opinion; and Mr. Limbaugh goes well out of his way to make sure that his
audience knows that these are his opinions, unlike most other reporting that
purports to achieve perfect objectivity but in actuality will in some degree
or other, in a statistical sense, reflect the biases of the reporters. Who
is being disingenuous here, Mr. Shaw or Mr. Limbaugh?
Again, you should ask Mr. Limbaugh himself, but I expect that he would
oppose government control of the media.
It is indeed depressing to see such myopia and tiresome Liberal arrogance.
Liberals love to play games with paradigms as a way of discrediting people
who disagree with them. Why don't you challenge conservative ideology
on an intellectual level rather than engaging in ludicrous comparisons?
Perhaps the underpinnings of your ideology are intellectual only in that
they exist in your mind, not the real world.
Perhaps there are a few among the intellectually challenged who percieve
Rush Limbaugh as a hate-monger, but in my experience he has been spreading
laughter at the ludicrous self-importance of the Left, not hatred.
As to Mr. Bush, you may be correct about his fascist economic leanings.
Mr. Reagan, on the other hand, did his best to reverse the fascist trend
of government involvement in business. Mr. Clinton is increasing fascism
in America through "business/government partnership" and increased levels
of taxation. Perhaps you should not have skipped your vocabulary classes
in grade school.
Hmmm. Seems to me that Limbaugh is not in any way comparable to Hitler
because he has not murdered six million Jews and many, many others out of
racism. I come from a mixed-race family, so I am quite well attuned to
racism; I don't hear any coming from Rush Limbaugh. The only place I hear
racism coming from these days and being taken seriously is from the Liberal
Left.
The Liberal Left is the movement I see trying to get America hooked
on the opiates of Socialized Medicine, Socialized Transportation, Socialized
Education, etc. The Left already has America hopelessly addicted to
that Liberal drug, the Social Security Chain Letter. It is quite clear
to me that while the Hitler analogy does not really apply to either Rush
Limbaugh or William Jefferson Clinton, if one of the two is closer than
the other it is clearly the Fascist Clinton.
This is the same address as "Idiots Anonymous", isn't it?

The cads! The fact that this is precisely what the US was up to of
course is not mentioned. It is a fact that Regan and Bush sold arms
to Iran, it is also a fact that they supported and armed Iraq.
Still this is state dept propaganda so none too surprizing.
In the case of Lybia there is the problem that the US only decided
that Gadffii ordered the bombing after it needed to make peace with
damascus during the gulf war. One day the US is certain that its Syria,
the next Lybia. For a strange reason the US will not provide evidence to
Lybian courts for extradition proceedings. Faced with similar demands the
USA would reject them as would any other country.
The word is "terrorism".
The problem is that after the behaviour of George Bush the USA has an
image abroad as doing precisely what it likes and is in its own interests
then comming out with a Dysney scripted sugary justification repeating a
fitting combination of the words "freedom" "dignity" "democaracy" or
of "terrorism" "dictatorship" etc as appropriate.
The USA could go quite far to mend the bridges with Iran. The people there are
rather pissed off because the USA first supported the Shah who they
loathed and then supported Saddam when he mounted an unprovoked attack.
Hardly surprizing after the embassy hostage crisis but Iran is meant to be
the country run by unreasonable bigots not the USA so if there is to be
movement it would be easier for the USA to move.
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.
The Iranian clerics would have an interest in seeking a raprochment
simply because a permanent war footing is debilitating. They also need
western technology.

CB> DON'T BE SO STUPID AS TO LEAVE YOUR HELMET ON THE SEAT WHERE IT CAN
CB> FALL DOWN AND GO BOOM!
Ryan> Another good place for your helmet is your mirror (!). I kid you not.
This is very bad advice. Helmets have two major impact absorbing
layers... a hard outer shell and a closed-cell foam impact layer.
Most helmets lose their protective properties because the inner liner
compacts over time, long before the outer shell is damaged or
delaminates from age. Dr. Hurt tested helmets for many years
following his landmark study and has estimated that a helmet can lose
up to 80% of it's effectiveness from inner liner compression. I have
a video he produced that discusses this phenomenon in detail.
Puncture compression of the type caused by mirrors, sissy bars, and
other relatively sharp objects is the worst offender. Even when the
comfort liner is unaffected, dents and holes in the foam can seriously
degrade the effectiveness of a helmet. If you are in the habit of
"parking your lid" on the mirrors, I suggest you look under the
comfort liner at the condition of the foam. If it is significantly
damaged (or missing :-), replace the helmet.

A few posts back, somebody mentioned that the Duo might crash if it has
the wrong kind (non-self refreshing) of RAM in it. My Duo crashes
sometimes after sleep, and I am wondering if there is any software which
will tell me whether or not I have the right kind of RAM installed. I
had thought that the problem was the battery connection.

KS, I see you're wanting Malcolm's response. Allow me one last inter-
jection then please:
Distinguishing among the religious Jews, you've excepted the Messianic
for obvious reasons. Specifically, are you saying it's these religious
Jews, who trace their lineage back to Abraham by blood and orthodoxy,
rather than by faith, who won't agree? Orthodox Jews?
As to the a/a (if I understand your direction), the issue remains
unproven I suspect, considering how atheists and agnostics so often
look to reason. Atheist, it is reasonable to conclude will not agree.
For agnostics, a poll seems in order. Who knows? Myself, I'm not so
sure the atheists can be counted out.
For the orthodox, I wonder how many would follow Moses, or Abraham,
or David in accepting God's Word? Is the particular covenant to which
one adheres, more important than God promisimg? I reckon for many it
depends on the ongoing dialogue. Under these considerations, you might
understand why I think it's premature to assert who will and won't agree.

It seemed pretty conclusive to me. The puck clearly hit the crossbar
and then came down on the line. And the announcers, admittedly homers,
kept harping about how they "must have had a different view upstairs"
because it was obvious to them, and, I would have thought, to anyone who
saw the replay, that the puck didn't go in. The referee originally
signalled no goal but the video replay "judges" initiated contact with
the referee to claim that a goal was in fact scored. This, to me, is
unheard of. Seeing stuff like this happen gives me a bad feeling about
the Leaf chances this year.

First, I would like to say how much I appreciate having so literate and
erudite an individual as Mr. Rutledge with whom to discuss this topic.
Frankly, most anti-RKBA posters refuse even to approach the topic of
the original understanding of the Bill of Rights as detailed in the
writings of the era. This is most refreshing.
Second, I must apologize for leaving the discussion for several days.
My brigade's quarterly drill was this weekend and I needed to attend
to several matters pertaining to the State Militia.
Some people seem to feel that the concept of the Militia is an anachro-
nism that is out of place in the 20th century. I'm not sure the Swiss
would agree and I think perhaps a discussion of how the Militia, both
organized and unorganized, fits into the defense plans of my State,
Mississippi. Please do not assume that this describes something peculiar
to one southern state. For instance, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
has a well organized Militia which, members report, maintains stocks
of both riot guns and machine guns. The laws of other States will vary
but are probably similar.
Title 35 of Mississippi Code defines our Militia as "all able-bodied
citizens of the state between the ages of seventeen (17) and sixty-
two (62) years...". The Militia is divided into 3 classes: The National
Guard, the Mississippi State Guard and the unorganized Militia. The
National Guard is a strange sort of fish from a Constitutional perspective.
It tries to be both State Militia and Federal Reserve. The discussion
of this "para-constitutional" arrangement is quite interesting in itself
but somewhat beyond the scope of this discussion. Suffice it that, at this
date, the National Guard has ceased to have any Constitutional standing
as anything but a Federal reserve force.
Mississippi, and most other States, maintains a purely State organized
Militia. In Mississippi this is called The State Guard. In other
States it may be called something else. The State Guard exists as
a cadre or training corps made up of mostly experienced officers and
senior NCOs who serve as volunteers without compensation. We drill
on a monthly basis at the company and battalion level, brigade once
a quarter and have an annual drill of the whole organization. Our
State-authorized cadre strength is 694. This is a skeleton of an
organization without any flesh. The muscle and sinew when needed will
come from the unorganized Militia.
In time of invasion, insurrection or calamity the Governor can order
the activation of the State Guard. When this takes place a call will
first be made for volunteers to fill the organization out to either
its contingency strength of 2194 or full strength of 4910. In the
event that a sufficient number of people fail to volunteer, the law
provides detailed instructions for the conducting of a draft of the
unorganized Militia. The size of the State Guard is not specified by
law, but rather by executive order. At one time, the organized Militia
of Mississippi consisted of 68 regiments. Needless to say, the State
does not have armories brimming with weapons with which to equip such
a force. The historical precedent for arming such a force is by use
of mostly the private arms of the Militiamen.
It is my hope that demonstrates that State Militias are far from being
the long dead anachronisms that some may wish to claim.
Regarding Hamilton: If you take Hamilton's opinion as being the sole
representative of the opinions of the Founding Fathers, you will have
chosen a highly skewed sample set. Hamilton was on the extreme Federalist
end of the political spectrum. Others, such as Coxe and Henry, can
be chosen to represent the other end. Many contemporaries felt that
the idea of having a standing Army of any sort or even a select Militia
or "train bands" were contrary to the egalitarian nature of the govern-
ment they were striving to perfect. The compromise reached was to
provide for a small Army, which had to be refinanced every two years,
and iron-clad protection for the Militia, which was to remain ever,
"terrible and irresistible".
These protections included: State control, not Federal; limitation
of Federal utilization of the Militia (i.e. execute Laws, suppress
Insurrections and repel Invasions), and the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms to prevent what the British had tried to do at Lexington.
These limitations eventually proved so onerous to the Federal Govern-
ment that they were skirted by the creation of the National Guard.
The National Guard was created for one very simple reason: the
Constitutional Militia was had proved too unreliable for fighting
wars of imperial expansion. (e.g. Spanish-American War). The
Constitution provided that the Militia could only be employed by
the Federal government in very limited purposes. As far back as the
War of 1812, Militia units had refused to leave United States
territory to attack the enemy. Further, there was no Constitutional
authorization for any conscription of anyone into the Federal
Military and Militiamen were particularly protected. In all wars until
WW-I every American who left the country under arms was a volunteer.
When the National Guard acts of 1903-1916 required that each new
member also enlist as a reservest in the Army, existing soldiers were
"grandfathered". At least one of these "grandfathered" individuals
refused to go to France in 1918 and his refusal was upheld by the
Federal Courts.
Mr. Rutledge has stated that the Second Amendment applies only to
members of a "well organized" militia. However, the pre-Constitutional
history of the American Militia shows relatively few periods when
The Militia came close to meeting either Messrs. Rutledge or Hamilton's
definition of "well organized". In the period of peace between the
French & Indian War and The Revolution many companies simply stopped
drilling and had to be reconstituted just prior to The Revolution.
Perhaps Mr. Rutledge would care to argue that those of my ancestors
who answered the Lexington alarm had forfeited their rights because
their units didn't drill for a few years in the 1760s. I would not
be so bold.
Again, I wish to repeat. The National Guard, for all its merits, is
not the Militia described by the Constitution nor by Mr. Hamilton
nor by Mr. Henry nor by Mr. Coxe. The fact that the Federal Government
and many States are delinquent in their attentions to and organizing
of their Constitutional Militias diminishes neither their
responsibilities nor the rights of the Militia as detailed in the
Constitution.
Misunderstanding of the nature and purpose of the Militia is but one
error that has crept into modern readings of the Constitution. The
Constitution prohibits States from keeping "Troops or Ships of War
in time of Peace". I have heard some insist this prevents States from
maintaining a Militia, but this comes about because people today do not
understand the meanings of the words in their 18th century usage.
Today we call any large vessel a "ship" but in the 18th century the word
described a particular kind of vessel. A "ship" is a large vessel with
three or more masts each carrying square rigged sails. A "brig" has two
masts. In the contemporary usage the States were prohibited only from keeping
the largest warships of the day, those capable of global operations. Today's
equivalent might be a prohibition on the States' keeping nuclear missiles.
"Troops" at this time meant a full-time professional military organization.
Any study of contemporaneous writings will bear this out.
In at least one respect, I am in agreement with Mr. Rutledge; being
personally involved in the maintenance and advancement of The Militia
as a viable means of defense for a modern society, I am frequently
both bemused and saddened when friends and associates wax poetic on
their place in the unorganized Militia and become strangely silent or
scarce when invited to attend a drill of their State's Militia.

[ -and many others mailed me. Here is a reply to one of the letters. Seems to
me that atheist do not like the doctrine of hell!]
Your using 20th century concepts to interprete 1st century writers. Of course,
in your termonology, God could not "cease to exist." However, that is not what
death ever means in the Scriptures. If you will study the word, you will see
that it signifies "separation." Death is separation, not ceastation. This is
the reason for the agony of the cross. For the first time in eternity, one
member of the Godhead was separated from the other two.
I once met a young lady that was as beautiful as any model that ever lived.
She was as personable as any saint ever imagined. She was to become my
"girlfriend" for several years. However, having been drafted, we were
separated by distance. To me that was a form of death. Later, she decided
that she couldn't wait for me to come home and bid me adue. That to me was
death. It was separation from that which had made me whole. Death is
separation and eternal death is eternal separation from His fellowship, not
because He chose to send you into outer darkness, but because you chose to go
there.
When I rebelled against my earthly father, he spanked me. I found no wisdom in
that until I had grown older and especially until I had my own children. He
was trying to guide me away from hurt that would enter my life if I continued
on my suicidal course. He did it in love though I interpreted it as harsh and
unloving. If God warns of impending danger, that is love. If choose to let us
do as we please, and then at the end tell us the rules, that would be harsh.
You have a conscience, no matter how calused or fallen it is, that witnesses to
you that a thing is wrong and that there is cause for fear.
This may give light to the error of your understanding. One must have correct
knowledge in order to have correct faith. Faith and knowledge are inseparable.
Jesus most certainly felt the "pinpricks" of life. As the Scripture say:
Heb. 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without
sin.
The kenosis passage of Phil 2 states that He gave up His Godhead attributes
when He took upon Himself humanity. It has been a favorite meditation of mine
to think about this. It was to be my PhD thesis. "The Consciousness of
Christ." I have talked at length with a great many people about this
interesting study, including clh.
It is my conclussion that as Jesus, the 2nd member of the Trinity, actually
suffered as we do. He became part of the human race and experienced it as we
do. He "grew in knowledge." He chose not to grasp His omniscience, but chose
to be taught. It is my understanding that He was "led of the Spirit" to such
an extent that sometimes it is hard to distinquish between Jesus the man and
Jesus as God. But in Jn 8 where the adulterous women was thrown before Him,
the tenses are quite clear in that the whole situation took Him by surprise.
That is, He was not aware that this event was to take place in time. He was
living sequential history as you or I.
Maybe some other time we can discuss this, but it is a very lengthy discussion
and one that causes the curcuit breakers of the brain to pop more often than
not.
I was once a member of that club. THe "free thinker" is a glorious ideal. By
contrast, of course, you believe that the believer is the unforunate repository
of everything that is dogmatic, inhibited, reactionary and repressive. I find
such a stance to be as amusing as it is absurd. If the liberal humanist
wishes to criticize a Christian or a Buddhist or a Marxist, that is his right.
But what he must not pretend is that he was led to this solely by his "rational
doubt" when in fact he was led to it by his "faith". He must acknowledge that
while it is rational doubt for him as a "free thinker" to criticize the
Christian, it might equally be a rational doubt for the Christian to criticize
him as a humanist. If there is no faith, there can be no dout. There is no
faith which cannot choose to cast doubt on some other faith.
Pascal pointed out that "sceptical arguments allow the positive to be positive.
Few. . .speak dubiously of scepticism." The fact that skeptics are not
skeptical about skepticism is further evidence that to doubt anything we must
believe in something else! THe person who is skeptical toward one faith or
even most faiths, will be the devoted adherent of another. In fact, it is a
measure of his poverty both that he is unaware of it and that he can define
himself only in negative terms, hence the term "a"-theist.
Some people claim otherwise and argue vociferously for complete skepticism. In
my campus ministry I ran across this more times than I care to remember.
However, they disproved their own argument with every thought, every word,
every point of logic that they used. Every moment of shared communication
speaks against their total skepticism. Their very insistence of trying to make
sense is eloquent testimony to assumptions that are powerful though silent.
That is to say, that complete skepticism is impossible and limited skepticism
is arbitrary. Next time you're in a room of skeptics, yell out "Look, your fly
is undone!" Each person chooses what he is skeptical about and what he
believes without skepticism. To stress this is to belabor the obvious, but it
underlines the point that no one can know exhaustively how he knows what he
knows. Pure objectivism is a myth and complete skepticism an impossiblity.
The answer to this impasse lies in a 3rd way of knowing, one which is based on
presuppositions. But if knowledge proceeds on what must be presupposed before
it is proved, the cover is blown on the pretentions of critical doubt, and
critical doubt depends on the idea that human knowledge is totally objective
and neutral. In other words, another myth.
Presuppositions my friend. It is impossible to doubt anything unless there is
something we do not doubt -our own assumptions/presuppostions. Even these can
be criticezed only upon the basis of other assumptions. Presuppostitons are
our silent partners in thought but their silence must not be mistaken for
absence.
Of course that is hardly an original statement. Milton coined it but it had
been in use for millenia. It was even used in the first "Highlander" movie.
But again, your presuption is based on a faulty knowledge of the character of
God. You are operating off of a presuppositional premise of humanistic
theology, not what He has revealed of Himself through history, through His
prophets, through His Word, and lastly, but most of all, thru His Son. If you
are to reject God's annointed savior, then reject Him from a correct
understanding of Himself.

Hi!
I'm looking into buying a serial port switcher, because while my Mac has
two serial ports, I have AppleTalk, a modem, a printer, MIDI, and a sound
digitizer. (2 != 5, unfortunately.)
Specifically, I'm looking at the Axion electronic switcher, because it
seems to be fairly cheap. (About $128 at MacZone.)
Does anyone know anything about it? I've heard that with most of these
things you can still only use 2 serial ports at a time, it just prevents you
from physically swapping cables. Although I've also heard that programs
that use the Comm Toolbox may be able to use as many serial ports as they
want; does anyone know if this is true with the Axion switchbox?
Finally, if the Axion stinks, or if you're using something else that you
think is good, I'd be interested in hearing about other products. I would
like to spend under $140, if possible.
Please reply through mail; I'm not a regular reader of this newsgroup.
If there's interest, I can post a summary of replies.
Thanks a lot!

I'd like to compile X11r5 on a Sony NWS-1750 running NEWS 4.1c. The
X distribution has support for this config, and the release notes say
it has been tested on the machine. BUT, also in the release notes,
nothing from Sony is listed under the supported servers. What am I
supposed to use for my r5 X server then? How can the OS be supported,
but not the hardware? Is there something in the r4 binaries that can
be used as the r5 server? These may seem like silly questions, but
I'm *really* confused.
