I'm considering writing my own widgets, but I like to have some sample
widget source code to look over first. Where could I find something
like this? Are there any archives accessible by anonymous ftp that contain
such information?

I have a line on a Ducati 900GTS 1978 model with 17k on the clock. Runs
very well, paint is the bronze/brown/orange faded out, leaks a bit of oil
and pops out of 1st with hard accel. The shop will fix trans and oil
leak. They sold the bike to the 1 and only owner. They want $3495, and
I am thinking more like $3K. Any opinions out there? Please email me.
Thanks. It would be a nice stable mate to the Beemer. Then I'll get
a jap bike and call myself Axis Motors!

Environment:
mach/arch : sparc/sun4 (IPX)
OS : SunOS 4.1.3
X11 : X11R5 (patchlevel 22)
Motif : 1.2.2
I bring up X server using 'startx' and /usr/bin/X11/Xsun. The following sequence
of actions crashes the X server (SIGPIPE, errno=32, 'xinit' reports that connexion
to X server lost):
1. xinit -- Xsun
2. start mwm
3. start a client with a 100dpi/75dpi font.
4. move the window by dragging the title bar.
The server dumps core due to SIGPIPE. One of the two messages is printed:
"Connection to X server lost"
or
"Connection broken (errno=32)"
(I believe the first is reported by a client and the second by the server itself).
Next, I ran xdm in debug level = 5. After the same set of actions, xdm reports:
select returns -1
Server for :0 terminated unexpectedly: status 2560
Note:
* The problem doesn't occur with other window managers (twm or olwm).
* I have not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
* I am not running font server.
* If I start the client with fixed width font, I do not see this problem.
* My font path:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
(I did mkfontdir in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/PEX, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
and in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc).
* This problem seems to occur only on IPX machines. I do not see this
problem on IPC workstations.
Questions:
* What the hell is goin on ? :-)
* What does "status 2560" mean (of the server).
I'd greatly appreciate any hints as to the cause of the problem.

Last week I posted the ALL-TIME GREATEST PLAYERS (and haphazardly misspelled
several names--SORRY!) This week, it's time for the greatest PEAK players.
I evaluated the following players on 4 consectutive seasons which constituted
their "prime" or "peak" years. (3 was too few; 5 seemed to many--so I settled

I hope there are some surprises here: Raines above Muisial? Carter above
Bench? Ripken above Banks? Bonds above Mays?
Check the numbers of each player in comparison to the numbers of the rest
of the players that year(s), and you'll see that I'm fairly close with
this ranking system (which is primarily based on Total Player Rating) for
four consecutive years.

I must have missed the article on the Spagthorpe Viking. Was

You can forget this line of reasoning. When an animal
decides to take you, there's nothing you can do about it. It has
something to do with their genetics. I was putting along at a
mere 20mph or so, gravel road with few loose rocks on it (as in,
just like bad concrete), and 2200lbs of swinging beef jumped a
fence, came out of the ditch, and rammed me! When I saw her jump
the fence I went for the gas, since she was about 20 feet ahead
of me but a good forty to the side. Damn cow literally chased me
down and nailed me. No damage to cow, a bent case guard and a
severely annoyed rider were the only casualties. If I had my
shotgun I'd still be eating steak. Nope, if 2200lbs of cow
can hit me when I'm actively evading, forget a much more
manueverable dog. Just run them over.

Back to the F1 stuff for a second, note that the `auto' tranny in F1
_STILL_ shifts at the driver's command, not some preselected schedule. The
driver still controls the shifting, not the transmission.
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
I have yet to see a torque multiplier installed on a production automobile.
Such systems do exist, but none are presently installed in production autos
that I am aware of. These are commonly called viscous drive CVTs or
fluidic amplifiers.
What the convertor _does_ allow is for the engine to be closer to its
torque peak during the launch before a clutched car can fully engage it's
driveline. Chevy proved it many years ago with the '70 Camaro (ETs and
terminal 1/4 mile times were close enough tpo be identical for 4 speed and
auto cars). Note that this is also the major reason that an auto car can
get away with fewer gears than a manual, the slip in the convertor makes up
for the fewer ratios (and before everyone starts yelling about the proposed
5 sspeed autos soon to be out, note that some manufacturers are using 6
speed manulas now).
Correct.

Hi.
The RTrace ray tracer supports 3D text as a primitive, not collections of
spheres, cylinders and so on...
The 3D chars are made of lines and splines that are extruded...
Please have a look at asterix.inescn.pt [192.35.246.17] in directory
pub/RTrace.
In pub/RTrace/tmp there are some demo images with high quality text.
All of them are called Text?.jpg (JPEG encoded). See them first and then

The problem if transffering US government files about Yigal Arens
and some other similar persons does or does not violate a federal
or a local American law seemed to belong to some local american law
forum not to this forum.
The readers of this forum seemed to be more interested in the contents
of those files.
So It will be nice if Yigal will tell us:
1. Why do American authorities consider Yigal Arens to be dangerous?
2. Why does the ADL have an interest in that person ?
3. If one does trust either the US government or the ADL what an
additional information should he send them ?

Not true! Both Type 1 and TT fonts can be of excellent quality and poor quality
at any size. It all depends on the font's maker and the complexity of the glyphs
related to the size and resolution at which they are viewed. Probably the reason
for your opinion/experience that TT is inferior is because most TT fonts on the
market today have been converted from Type 1 outlines to TT either by the font
vendor or end-users using Fontographer or FontMonger instead of the TT fonts being
hand-hinted to take advantage of the TT hinting language. At best these converted
TT fonts will be on a par with the Type 1 font of its orgin.
TrueType is a much richer and more robust hinting language than Type 1 (the hinting
of diagonals for instance, which TT does and Type 1 cannot). If you check out the
Windows 3.1 core fonts (Times, Arial, Courier, Symbol, Wingdings) you'll see what can
be done with TT. There are other fonts out there that have been hand-hinted and not
just converted. Some of the Microsoft TT Font Pack 2 fonts are hinted very well.
Again, not true. The characters in a TT or Type 1 font depend on the maker. If someone
converts a Type 1 font to TT they'll only get the characters in the font of orgin. TT
allows for much more flexibility in this area as well. You can have thousands of glyphs
in a TT font file (Mac/PS/Windows/Unicode char set) and use the characters appropriate
for the particular platform you are running the font on. For instance, all or our fontpack
2 TT fonts have the Mac/Windows char set in them. The metrics of the fonts are such that
if the font is brought over to the mac the user will have access to the full mac char set.
Hope this clears up some of the confusion. Feel free to contact me if anyone would like
more info.

Jeff,
I have answers to both of your questions. First, I recommend the Sony
CPD-1320 monitor. It is a 14" Trinitron VGA monitor, but it is designed
specifically for use with the LC. It works only with Macs with specific video
capabilities which means only the LC's and anything after the ci. All it
takes is a MAC<->VGA cable (I recommend one from James Engineering which is
about $20). These cost about $335 as compared to the much higher prices of
comparable monitors because they are not multisynch. I have used one for half
a year and I love it.
Second, I have used Syex and found them to be decent. I had a backorder on a
Supra modem which I cancelled. They were helpful in explaining the reasons
why there were delays and they had Supra's number ready for me. The only
complaint was that they did not always return my calls.
I have been told that the CPD-1320 is selling for $339 from J&R's
(800)221-8180. I think Syex is a little more, but I don't know.

First,Happy Birthday,Val. Second, ESPN's affinity with Patrick has probably
more to do with the travel/production costs for a once a week NHN(National Hockey
Night) affair.(ESPN-ABC owner,Capital Cities, is a company known for being
quite thrifty with minimal overhead costs. It's quite possible that Jim
Schoenfeld may be working for doughnuts :-).
Gary Thorne and Bill Clement are both NJ-based and the rest of ESPN crew
resides in the suburban CT with a very close proximity to tri-state area.
Plus,it makes sense in terms of solid hockey following in the NorthEast
corridor(PA-NY-NJ-DC/Maryland). Whereas,in the Adams you have only
3-American based teams, out of which 2(Buffalo and Hartford) are not
in Top-20 US TV-markets.

It ain't about duck hunting.
It ain't about lone perps on lonely streets.
It's about DEFENDING OUR RIGHTS from the *GOVERNMENT*, which
has seen fit to ignore history and attempt once again to take
them from us. They WILL SUCCEED if we don't do something NOW.
That's why I think the NRA is a bunch of WEENIES, because they
have FORGOTTEN that fundamental fact.
Pardon all my shouting, but there seem to be a whole helluva lot

hi,
Have you used Mac system 6.x or 7.x? If the answer is positive, you would
know if ms-windows is a "mature" OS.
Days ago people doubted that ms-windows is not a real OS. I can see why
they have such question. Ms-windows confuses many people. Microsoft
simulated Mac, but it did a lousy job. For example:
(1) You can not create hierarchy groups. There is no way to create a group
in a group. (If you know how, please tell me.)
(2) Too many system parameters to take care of.
(3) uncomplete documentation. It's not easy to find the reason why causes
an unpredictable error.
(4) Group deleting/file deleting
After deleting a group, users have to use file manager to delete files.
But if users forget to delete some related files, the disk will be full
of nonsense files.
(5) share problem
Once you create two windows doing compilation and editing in some
language (w/o good editor), there will be a sharing problem. You just
can not open or save the program if it is loaded. It makes sense to
prevent from saving, but not opening.
Microsoft try to compromise between DOS and windows, but they just make
ms-windows a graphical DOS with capacity doing mutiple DOS jobs;
the worst thing is they complicate the environment. The orginal purpose
of ms-windows should be to simplify the environment, and make PC easier
to use.
It's by no means easy to satisfy everybody, but if Microsoft want to
keep their reputations, they should evaluate the user interface more
carefully before products distribute.
No flame, please.

Ever heard of something called the placebo effect? I think Dyer is
reacting because it looks to be yet another case of the same old
quackery over and over again.
It true that current medical knowledge is limited, but do you realize
just HOW MANY quacks exist eager to suck your $$$$. It's playing the
lottery at best.
If the results you got were so clear and obvious, would you mind
trying a little experiment to see if it is true? It would be quite
simple. Have sugar pills and have real pills. Take one set for one
week and the other set for another week without knowing which ones are
the real pills. Then at the end of the 2 weeks compare the results.
Let's say you're wife would know which are the real ones. If what you
are experiencing is true there should be a marked difference between
each week.

From article <[email protected]>, by [email protected] (Tim Heckel):
--When I was selling Nissans last summer, I sold a '92 SE-R in early August
when its supply was getting quite scarce. The car was black with ABS,
Value Option Pkg, and power moonroof. I sold it for $12,900 plus tax.
Naturally, my manager didn't really care to sell one of the most desirable
SE-R's for virtually no profit (to the best of my knowledge).....

Hi,
Being a Electronic Engineering Student with only Electronic II under
my belt, I find myself *needing* to build a moderate wattage Audio Amp. So,
I'll throw out a couple of question for the vast knowledge of the 'net'!
Please Explain how Watts are calculated in Audio Amp circuits. No,
Not P=I*E, Just how it relates to one of the following:
Ai [Current Gain]
Av [Voltage Gain]
Ap [Power Gain]
or whatever.
I already have a ?wonderful? cheap I.E <$20 schematic for a 20W amp, but
I would like to Cross/improve the circuit. The problem is that the parts
list has IC1 and IC2 as NEC70001AB amplifiers. They look like ?11 pin?
SIP packages with a heatsink. This schematic was published in a 1991 mag
so it may be non-existant now. Anyway, I tried looking up a replacement in
the latest Digi-key Cat and found it not listed 8(. The closes I could
figure was a 9 pin SIP as TDA1520BU. Anyone got any Ideas?
I thought, hey I can rin a PSPICE simulation using 741 opamp
models. Yea, great! It worked. But, I guess the 741 wasn't made for High
power amps. As a result, I got a Voltage gain of ~15mV/V. Worse than
I started with 8(... Does anyone have a PSPICE CKT file with cheap yet
good gain? How about some models for some of the chips listed in this
E-mail? Any ASCII Chip info you guys can send me?
I'm open to Suggestions/Ideas/Comments/Help!
Please E-mail since I have little time to search the News...
And I'll post if there's and interest!

One of these days you'll learn that the way to stop Israel
from fighting back is to stop attacking. If there were no attacks in
the security zone for a year because the Lebanese army could maintain
the peace, then Lebanon would be in much better shape.
Tell me something, though. Why do Syrian troops not get
attacked? Aren't they occupying Lebanon?
Israel has repeatedly stated that it will leave on two
conditions. One is a demonstration that the Lebanese army can keep
the peace. The second is that the Syrians pull out as well.

No one was ever flogged, beaten, burned, fed to the lions, or killed in any
other way because of a belief in the resurrection - sorry to disappoint you.
The idea of resurrection is one which can be found in a host of different
forms in the religions of antiquity. The problem was not the resurrection
which was a mediorce issue for a tiny fragment of the Jewish population
(the Saducees) but was a non issues for everyone else. The real problem was
that Christians were pacifist and preached there was only one god. When the
state operates by a system of divinitation of the emperor - monotheism
becomes a capital offense. The Jews were able to get exemption from this,
and were also not evangelistic. Christians were far more vocal, and gentile,
and hence dangerous and were therefore targets of persecution. Also since
Christians were a relatively powerless group, they made good scapegoats as is
seen by Nero's blaming them for the burning of Rome. Let's not cloud the
issues with the resurrection.

Yes it is, as has been evidenced by the previous two stages
of withdrawal from the area and by the reductions in troops.
Currently the troops are kept at a level consistent with light
and armored patrols. No permanent installations have been
built in the area, nor are any planned.
As to the prodigal "water question", you can continue to waste
your time looking for non-existent proof, or you can accept the
testimony of people here, some Lebanese, who have acknowledged
that they know of no evidence for these allegations.
It depends which of those territories you refer to.
In general, settlers were moved into the territories because
at the time, in the context of the situations, it seemed the
logical move. This is not to say that views don't change
or that mistakes are not made. Currently, I would say that
the only "disputed territory" that does not appear to be temporary
is that of Eastern and northern Jerusalem.

Bowman tended to overplay Francis at times because he is a Bowman-style
player. He plays hard at all times, doesn't disregard his defensive
responsibilities and is a good leader. Bowman rewarded him be increasing his
ice time.
Jagr can be very arrogant and juvenile and display a "me first" attitude.
This rubbed Bowman the wrong way and caused him to lose some ice time.
Throughout the year, Francis consistently recieved more ice time than
Jagr. Althouhg I have never seen stats on this subject, I am pretty
sure that Jagr had more points per minute played that Francis. When
you add to that Jagr's better +/- rating, I think it becomes evident
that Jagr had a better season- not that Francis had a bad one.

That would not explain why widely separated detectors, such as on Ulysses
and PVO and Ginga et al., would see a burst at the same time(*). In fact, be-
fore BATSE, having this widely separated "Interplanetary Network" was the
only sure way to locate a random burst. With only one detector, one cannot
locate a burst (except to say "It's somewhere in the field of view."). With
two detectors, one can use the time that the burst is seen in each detector
to narrow the location to a thin annulus on the sky. With three detectors,
one gets intersecting annuli, giving two possible locations. If one of these
locations is impossible (because, say, the Earth blocked that part of the
sky), voila, you have an error box.
BATSE, by having 8 detectors of its own, can do its own location determination,
but only to within about 3 degrees (would someone at GSFC, like David, like
to comment on the current state of location determination?). Having inde-
pendent sightings by other detectors helps drive down the uncertainty.
You did touch on something that you didn't mean to, though. Some believe
(in a reference that I have somewhere) that absorption-like features seen
in a fraction of GRBs can actually be caused by the detector. It would be
a mean, nasty God, though, that would have a NaI crystal act like a 10^12 Gauss
neutron star...but this is getting too far afield.

MC>Aye, there's the rub -- if you draw enough current to light an LED, th

MC>In the on-hook state you're not supposed to draw current.
Ok lets have some calculation here: Going by Australian standards, which I
presume might be similar to other countries ( If not, lets have some
input) a phone uses 600ohm to loop a 48V line = 80mA. A standard LED
drains 20mA. So what is the actual loop current required for an "off hook"

No... you can do this? Really? The other morning I went to do a lane change
on the freeway and looked in my mirror, theer was a car there, but far
enough behind. I looked again about 3-5 seconds later, car still in same
position, i.e. not accelerating. I triple check with a head turn and decide
I have plenty of room, so I do it, accelerating. I travel about 1/4 mile
staying ~200
feet off teh bumper of the car ahead, and I do a casual mirror check. This
guy is RIGHT on my tail, I mean you couldn't stick a hair between my tire &
his fender. I keep looking in the mirror at him a,d slowly let off teh
throttle. He stays there until I had lost about 15mph and then comes around
me and cuts me off big time. I follow him for about 10 miles and finally
get bored and turn back into work.
I can file a complaint about this? And actually have the chance to have

In this giant bally-ho over this Clipper chip I noticed a rather
disturbing trend in some of the E-mail and posts I've tossing back and
forth.
Somebody asked me what was wrong about overreacting in cases such as this.
The reason is very simple: How many people do you want to die in a riot?
In a new Civil War?
Everybody is jumping up and down and screaming about it, and I'm worried
that people are going to reach for their hammers and rifles before their pens
and paper.
Can people work within the system before trying to break it? Examine your
history books, and find out how many armed revolutions led to Democratic
(or Democratic style) governments. I think you'll only find one in over
five thousand years of written history.
That's not very good odds.
Somebody once said something like: "Armed Violence is meant only to be
used in response to an armed attack. It is not meant to be used in
agression. This is the difference between self-defence and murder."
Let's try to avoid killing things, eh? There's enough blood shed in the
world, without adding a couple of riots, Civil Wars, etc.
I'm probably overreacting. But what I've read scared me a lot. I don't
want my children growing up in a War Zone.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Secretary of State Warren Christopher said Tuesday
there are better ideas to stop the human slaughter in the Balkans than
ordering American fighters to bomb the Serbs, but a frustrated senator
told him to do just that.
``We've not done a damn thing,'' Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., told
Christopher at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
``Preventive diplomacy is not in your capability right now in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
Biden chastised the administration and its Republican predecessor for
what he characterized as a limp response to the Serbian policy of
``ethnic cleansing'' of Muslims, including rape and shelling of
civilians.
``The time has come for us and the world to stop bemoaning the fact
that all the options are bad ones,'' Biden said. ``They are all bad ones
and we ought to pick a couple.''
Biden also endorsed lifting an international arms embargo against the
former Yugoslavia so the Muslim-dominated Bosnian government might have
a chance to at least defend itself against the Serbs.
Christopher said this could give an opening role in the conflict to
****************************************************
the radical Islamic government of Iran.
***************************************
O, I C!
Biden endorsed bombing Serbian heavy weapons around the besieged
eastern town of Srebrenica.
``There's not a military person...who will not tell you that they
could today, if you gave them the order, take out the heavy weaponry
around Srebrenica,'' Biden said.
``If you did nothing else, nothing else but that, you would have
saved hundreds of women and children who are being absolutely massacred
right now.''
Military action ``is the only thing that's going to change the
equation,'' Biden said.
....................................
Despite the frustrations and pressure, Christopher had no enthusiasm
for American combat aircraft to strike Serb positions in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
....................
Humanitarian as in feeding them and let them get raped and killed.

Yes, quite a number of people it seems from discussions I've had (me
included). I bought my machine a couple of weeks ago as well and
started to experience these problems.
Apple Australia via my dealer said that this problem has a number of
potential causes - Faulty applications, faulty third party hardware
(modems, memory etc), system software, PRAM corruption and power
manager corruption, and the Duo hardware itself.
None of the above are relevant in my case except the last two maybe
(no applications were running, the system software was re-installed, I
have no additional hardware). I have found that clearing PRAM appears
to help for a while at least (hold down command option P and R on
startup). Unfortunately the problem returns suggesting that PRAM is
being corrupted by something (system software bug ? - I don't have any
non-issue inits in my system). Apparently the Power Manager can be
reset by "holding the reset and interrupt buttons while powering up" -
Apple's advice - but since the Duo does not have an interrupt button
I'm not sure what they mean in this case. This may also help if
someone can decipher Apple's advice for me.
Beyond this Apple suggest that " you should follow the technical
procedures to check the hardware of this Duo". Since so many others
appear to be having the same problem it would seem to me that there
has been a system software bug introduced somewhere along the line -
and quite recently too - since it only seems to be recent Duo 230
purchasers who have this problem.
Any more comments from others in the same boat are welcome,
particularly Apple Duo engineers :-)

Whether there is a "why" or not we have to find it. This is Pascal's(?) wager.
If there is no why and we spend our lives searching, then we have merely
wasted our lives, which were meaningless anyway. If there is a why and we
don't search for it, then we have wasted our potentially meaningful lives.
Suppose the universe is 5 billion years old, and suppose it lasts another
5 billion years. Suppose I live to be 100. That is nothing, that is so small
that it is scary. So by searching for the "why" along with my friends here
on earth if nothing else we aren't so scared.
What if you woke up at a party, with no memory, and everyone was discussing
who the host might be? There might not be a host, you say. I say let's go
find him, the party's going to be over sometime, maybe he'll let us stay.
Because we recognize our own mortality we have to find the "why".
This is a good point. But more of a good point for studying religion
than ignoring it. Some Christians disagree with me, but it is worthwhile
to study different religions and philosophies and glean the truth from
them. To quote (of course out of context) "Test everything and keep what is
true."

(Robert L. McMillin) rants:
And how did the "free love advocates of the 1960's" manage to perform
this demolition--forced breeding programs or something?
Now let me get this straight. After a nice, long rant about how
people need to take personal responsibility for their economic and
social lives, all of a sudden 1960's radicals (such as me, I guess)
are responsible for poor people's lifestyles? Tell me how that
works--or do you think that poor people are just too dumb to think
for themselves?
There are many reasons for the disintegration of the family and
support systems in general among this nation's poor. Somehow I

But it is quite a leap in logic to observe one situation where anecdotal
evidence led nowhere and therefore conclude that anecdotal evidence will
NEVER lead anywhere. I'm sure somebody here can provide an example where
anecdotal evidence (and the interpretation of it) was upheld/verified by
follow-on rigorous clinical trials.
Good point. There has been a tendency by some on this newsgroup to "circle
the wagons" to the viewpoint that anecdotal medical evidence is worthless
(maybe to counter the claims of those who are presenting anecdotal evidence
to support controversial subjects, such as the "yeast hypothesis"). But
evidence is evidence - it requires a "jury" or a process to sort it out and
determine the truth from the junk. Medicine must continue to strive to better
understand the workings of the body/mind for the purpose of alleviating
illness - anecdotal evidence is just one piece of the puzzle; it is not
worthless. Rather, it can help focus limited resources in the right direction.

The Proton has been used in 2, 3, and 4 stage versions. The two stage version
was used for the first 3 launches, while the 3 and 4 stage versions are used
today. The four stage version is used mostly for escape (and geosynchronous?)
orbits, while the 3 stage version is used for low earth orbits. Since this is
the version that launched Mir and the Salyuts (and the add-on modules for Mir),
as long as Centaur is smaller than Mir (which I believe it is), it should fit

Here is some material by Michael Davies on the subject of schism in
general and Archishop Lefebvre in particular. He wrote it around
1990. The first part of the two-part article was on the scandalous
activities of Archbishop Weakland (in this country), but I cut all
that. And I pared down the rest to what was relevant.
Joe Buehler
...
Schism and Disobedience
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, schism consists primarily in a
refusal of submission to the Pope or communion with the members of the
Church united to him. On first sight it would appear that, whatever
the subjective motivation of the Archbishop, as discussed above, he
must be in a state of objective schism as he has refused to submit to
the Pope on a very grave matter involving his supreme power of
jurisdiction. However, standard Catholic textbooks of theology make it
clear that while all schisms involve disobedience not all acts of
disobedience are schismatic. If this were so, as was noted at the
beginning of this article, it would mean that the number of American
bishops who are not schismatic would not reach double figures.
The distinction between disobedience and schism is made very clear in
the article on schism in the very authoritative Dictionnaire de
Theologie Catholique. The article is by Father Yves Congar who is
certainly no friend of Archbishop Lefebvre. He explains that schism
and disobedience are so similar that they are often confused. Father
Congar writes that schism involves a refusal to accept the existence
of legitimate authority in the Church, for example, Luther's rejection
of the papacy. Father Congar explains that the refusal to accept a
decision of legitimate authority in a particular instance does not
constitute schism but disobedience. The Catholic Encyclopedia
explains that for a Catholic to be truly schismatic he would have to
intend "to sever himself from the Church as far as in him lies." It
adds that "not every disobedience is schism; in order to possess this
character it must include besides the transgression of the command of
the superiors, a denial of their divine right to command."Not only
does Mgr. Lefebvre not deny the divine right of the Pope to command,
but he affirms repeatedly his recognition of the Pope's authority and
his intention of never breaking away from Rome. The Archbishop made
his attitude clear in the July/August 1989 issue of 30 Days: "We pray
for the Pope every day. Nothing has changed with the consecrations
last June 30. We are not sedevacantists. We recognize in John Paul II
the legitimate Pope of the Catholic Church. We don't even say that he
is a heretical Pope. We only say that his Modernist actions favor
heresy."
...
Intrinsically Schismatic?
The principal argument used by those claiming that Mgr. Lefebvre is in
schism is that the consecration of a bishop without a papal mandate is
an intrinsically schismatic act. A bishop who carries out such a
consecration, it is claimed, becomes ipso facto a schismatic. This is
not true. If such a consecration is an intrinsically schismatic act it
would always have involved the penalty of excommunication. In the 1917
Code of Canon Law the offence was punished only by suspension (see
Canon 2370 of the 1917 Code). Pope Pius XII had raised the penalty to
excommunication as a response to the establishment of a schismatic
church in China. The consecration of these illicit Chinese bishops
differed radically from the consecrations carried out by Mgr. Lefebvre
as the professed intention was to repudiate the authority of the Pope,
that is, to deny that he has the right to govern the Church, and the
illicitly consecrated Chinese bishops were given a mandate to exercise
an apostolic mission. Neither Archbishop Lefebvre nor any of the
bishops he has consecrated claim that they have powers of
jurisdiction. They have been consecrated solely for the purpose of
ensuring the survival of the Society by carrying out ordinations and
also to perform confirmations. I do not wish to minimize in any way
the gravity of the step take by Mgr. Lefebvre. The consecration of
bishops without a papal mandate is far more serious matter than the
ordination of priests as it involves a refusal in practice of the
primacy or jurisdiction belonging by divine right to the Roman
Pontiff. But the Archbishop could argue that the crisis afflicting the
Church could not be more grave, and that grave measures were needed in
response.
It appears to be taken for granted by most of the Archbishop's critics
that he was excommunicated for the offense of schism, and the Vatican
has certainly been guilty of fostering this impression. There is not
so much as a modicum of truth in this allegation. The New Code of
Canon Law includes a section beginning with Canon 1364 entitled
"Penalties for Specific Offenses" (De Poenis in Singula Dicta). The
first part deals with "Offenses against Religion and the Unity of the
Church" (De Delictis contra Religionem et Ecclesiae Unitatem). Canon
1364 deals with the offense of schism which is, evidently, together
with apostasy and heresy, one of the three fundamental offenses
against the unity of the Church.
But the Archbishop was not excommunicated under the terms of this
canon or, indeed, under any canon involving an offense against
religion or the unity of the church. The canon cited in his
excommunication comes from the third section of "Penalties for
Specific Offenses" which is entitled "Usurpation of Ecclesial
Functions and Offenses in their Exercise" (De Munerum Ecclesiasticorum
Usurpatione Degue Delictis iniis Exercendis). The canon in question is
Canon 1382, which reads: "A bishop who consecrates someone bishop and
the person who receives such a consecration from a bishop without a
pontifical mandate incur an automatic (latae sententiae)
excommunication reserved to the Holy See."
The scandalous attempts to smear Archbishop Lefebvre with the offense
of schism are, then, contrary to both truth and charity. A comparable
smear under civil as opposed to ecclesiastical law would certainly
justify legal action for libel involving massive damages. An accurate
parallel would be to state that a man convicted of manslaughter had
been convicted of first degree murder.
I must stress that what I have written here is not the dubious opinion
of laymen unversed in the intricacies of Canon Law. Canon lawyers
without the least shred of sympathy for Mgr. Lefebvre have repudiated
the charge of schism made against him as totally untenable. Father
Patrick Yaldrini, Dean of the Faculty of Canon Law of the Institut
Catholique in Paris noted in the 4 July 1988 issue of Valeurs
actuelles that, as I have just explained, Mgr. Lefebvre was not
excommunicated for schism but for the usurpation of an ecclesiastical
function. He added that it is not the consecration of a bishop which
constitutes schism but the conferral of an apostolic mission upon the
illicitly consecrated bishop. It is this usurpation of the powers of
the sovereign pontiff which proves the intention of establishing a
parallel Church.
Cardinal Rosalio Lara, President of the Pontifical Commission for the
Authentic Interpretation of Canon Law, commented on the consecrations
in the 10 July 1988 issue of la Repubblica. It would be hard to
The act of consecrating a bishop (without a papal mandate) is not
in itself a schismatic act. In fact, the Code that deals with
offenses is divided into two sections. One deals with offenses
against religion and the unity of the Church, and these are
apostasy, schism, and heresy. Consecrating a bishop with a
pontifical mandate is, on the contrary, an offense against the
exercise of a specific ministry. For example, in the case of the
consecrations carried out by the Vietnamese Archbishop Ngo Dinh
Thuc in 1976 and 1983, although the Archbishop was excommunicated
he was not considered to have committed a schismatic act because
there was no intention of a breach with the Church.
....
It is not simply unjust but ludicrous to suggest that in consecrating
bishops without a papal mandate Archbishop Lefebvre had the least
intent of establishing a schismatic church. He is not a schismatic and
will never be a schismatic. The Archbishop considers correctly that
the the Church is undergoing its worst crisis since the Arian heresy,
and that for the good of the Church it was necessary for him to
consecrate the four bishops to ensure the future of his Society. Canon
Law provides for just such a situation, and even if one believes that
the future of the Society could have been guaranteed without these
consecrations, the fact that the Archbishop believed sincerely that it
could not means, as Canon Law states clearly, that he has not incurred
excommunication. Furthermore, while the Vatican allows such prelates
as Archbishop Weakland to undermine the Faith with impunity it cannot
expect Catholics to pay the least attention to its sanctions against a
great and orthodox Archbishop whose entire life has been devoted to
the service of the Church and the salvation of souls.
Dr. Eric M. de Saventhem, President of the International Una Voce
Association, is one of the best informed laymen in the Church, and he
knows the Archbishop intimately. Dr. de Saventhem, like myself, has no
greater desire than to see a reconciliation between Mgr. Lefebvre and
the Holy See during the Archbishop's lifetime. A quotation from a
statement by Dr. de Saventhem which was published in the 15 February
1989 Remnant merits careful study:

Hi
I'm having a problem with TrueType fonts in WIndows 3.1. I have installed
the Cyrillic fonts I found on CICA and now a strange thing happens:
Sometimes windows uses Cyrillic when its supposed to use Times Roman.
Examples: The PC-Tools Backup (version 7.1) has one line of Cyrillic text
in its opening banner, the next to last line. Importing a Word for Windows
text written in Times into WP5.2 also results in Cyrillic.
Does anyone have an idea where to look for the problem?
Thanks

The following packages meet your criteria in that they are PD and
present an aesthetically pleasant graphical interface to the users.
If you can use 386bsd:
there is xview3 (OpenLook)
there is Interviews which looks a little like Motif
there is gopath a very nice C++ toolkit for Athena Widgets and Motif
which is simpler
and better than interviews and you will enjoy
technical support from Bull via e-mail
It has a nice draw program (it uses motif) which can be used
to create graphical front-end to programs.
The data format is called streams which you can feed
to your programs. I ported gopath on an internet machine
which is gone but if you use gcc-2.3.3 with minimal effort
gopath can be ported to 386bsd.
Last but not least, gopath interfaces to toolkits via a driver
module. They have an MS-Windows driver module for instance.
Also, many have written extensions to tk/tcl thus allowing powerful
applications. For instance, tcl_nm has snmp extensions for tk/tcl.
With ease, I can now combine snmp network operations with graphs,
photo-widget, graphical interface, file operations, database
operations,etc.. The author of tcl_nm mail me a simple network
management application which was about 80 lines long - it displayed
various environmental parameters from a router. I wrote a simple
strip chart script for displaying Real-Time ip received
packets/seconds.
Hope this helps,

Maybe I'm a little tired but I can't seem to follow the logic here. If
whatever is held true on earth is held true in heaven how is it that a priest
(RC only apparently) is required.
In fact if I read the next verse correctly (Matthew 18:19) I understand that
for a marriage to take place only two are required to agree on earth touching
one thing and it shall be done.

I'm sure zero-intested economical systems survive on a small-scale,
co-ops is not an Islamic invention, and we have co-operatives working
all around the world. However such systems don't stand the corruption
of a large scale operation. Actually, nothing could handle human

Yes. Nobody is watching them. If they get caught, there is no punishment
at all. In the old days such behaviour would be rewarded with a whipping
with a good-sized belt, and then taken into some hospital to see first hand
what kind of damage such accidents cause. Of course this doesn't happen
any more. That whipping would probably save the kid's life by teaching
him some respect for others. A person with that little respect would
inevitably wind up dead early anyway.
The problem is creeping gradualism. If you put a frog into hot water,
he just jumps out. But if you put him into cold water and then ever-so-
gradually heat it, the frog will cook. This is what the entertainment
industry and lack of religious, moral, and educational standards in our
modern North American society have done to us over the years. Now that
we are about to be 'cooked', we may have woken up too late.

#is that human life has been devalued to the point were killing someone is
#"No Big Deal". Kid's see hundreds on murderous acts on TV, we can abort

And the education system and the Religious Leaders aren't doing much
about it, either. With both parents working in this society, where is
the stabilizing influence at home? Latchkey children are everywhere!
And these latchkey kids can watch whatever rotten videos and listen to
whatever violent hate-promoting "music" and videos they like because no
one is home to stop it.
This day and age, when there is about 100 times more things to learn
than when I went to school, our answer to this increased knowledge is
shorter school hours and more leisure time! I say keep the kids in
school longer, feed them good food and teach them something, and when
they get home, have a parent there to interact and monitor them. There
is a very old and now forgotten proverb: a child left on his own will
bring a parent to grief. Daycare systems are not the answer. This is
just shifting the parents' own responsibilities off on someone else to
whom it's not a life-long committment, but rather just a job.

Which one? The one yesterday, or has there been another? If it was yester-

IMO, 90% of all "conspiracy" charges are easily explained by the simple
fact that in these days of instantaneous news transmission, all kinds of
stuff gets said when people really just don't know what the hell's going on.
Then the story changes once the facts are in and suddenly cries of "its all a
whitewash!" start. Naturally, everybody wants to cover his/her ass.

I won't argue too much about anything. I am probably one of those that
think that we can't have enough safety on the roads. I would gladly
sacrifice distractions (as you call it), than someone having trouble seeing
danger earlier. One saved life justifies more than my lifetime of "distractions"
for me.
Problem is that, I may just kill the guy. I agree that I would be at fault,
and I will have my license revoked, why, I might even go to the gas chamber.
But the fact still remains that the guy is dead. Someone died because I
was too stingy to put on my lights.
The ratio of the probability of fallen trees/rocks on the roads to
oncoming traffic is too low to even be considered. The difference is also
working on what we *know* could happen, to what *might* happen.
Compared to the number of gallons of gas consumed by those 200 million cars,
it is miniscule!
Whatever..... 'tis a pity I have to share the same roads with a person
not concerned with safety.

Netters!
I need a cdrom drive as my order was cancelled and thought 'Why not ask
the net.community'? I was ordering a Nec CDR-74 but saw so much cheaper
ones that I want to know more.
The drive will be used to install software and (if available) for listening
to CD's. Perhaps some day I'll want to use it to read the other CD's, but
that's not really relevant at the moment.
I've been offered the following CD-ROM players, for the prices stated.
They all claim to have SCSI-I, and operate under OS/2.
The drives are not listed in the cdrom-faq and therefor, please give
your opinions on the drives, i've got the impression that they're not
all SCSI. Actually the Nec was listed as non-scsi in the cdrom-faq and as
a compatible SCSI product in the os2faq.
I've calculated the prices as having dutch guilders times 2. It's actually
about times 1.8.
Mitsumi CRMC $240
Philips LMS-I $300
Philips 205 $350
Toshiba ? $370
Nec CDR-74 $650

so what's the trick or where can I order it (Holland using MasterCard).

There is another useful method based on Least Sqyares Estimation of the sphere equation parameters.
The points (x,y,z) on a spherical surface with radius R and center (a,b,c) can be written as
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2 = R^2
This equation can be rewritten into the following form:
2ax + 2by + 2cz + R^2 - a^2 - b^2 -c^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2
Approximate the left hand part by F(x,y,z) = p1.x + p2.x + p3.z + p4.1
For all datapoints, i.c. 4, determine the 4 parameters p1..p4 which minimise the average error |F(x,y,z) - x^2 - y^2 - z^2|^2.
In 'Numerical Recipes in C' can be found algorithms to solve these parameters.
The best fitting sphere will have
- center (a,b,c) = (p1/2, p2/2, p3/2)
- radius R = sqrt(p4 + a.a + b.b + c.c).
So, at last, will this solve you sphere estination problem, at least for the most situations I think ?.

Mr. Ward, before you start blathering about your skill "interpreting"
the Constitution, it might be helpful to learn to read. After a review
with a high school English teacher emphasizing participial phrases, you
might start with the Second Amendment, and follow it up with:
97th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print, *The Right To Keep and
Bear Arms*, of the Subcomittee on the Constitution of the Committee on
the Judiciary, United States Senate, 97th Congress, Second Session,
February, 1982. GPO No. 88-618-O
This authoritative, heavily researched and annotated document clearly
turns your "interpretation" into specious claptrap, which is a polite
way of saying utter bullshit. In spite of your false assertion to the
contrary, the Second Amendment DOES protect the right of the individual
citizen, in his capacity as an individual, to keep and bear arms.
And, Mr. Holland, IMHO, blatantly and harmfully false information,
asserted as fact and globally distributed, deserves globally
distributed rebuttal in the forum in which it is posted.
(And besides, this site doesn't carry t.p.g...:-)

Some motherboards support VL bus and 50-DX CPU. There is an option
(BIOS I think) where additional wait(s) can be added with regard to
CPU/VL bus transactions. This slows the CPU down to a rate that gives
the VL bus device(s) time to 'do their thing'. These particular wait(s)
are applied when the CPU transacts with VL bus device(s). You want to
enable these wait(s) only if you are using a 50-DX with VL bus devices.
This is from reading my motherboard manual, and these are my interpre-
tations. Your mileage may vary.
Strictly speaking, VL and 50mhz are not compatable. And, there is at
least one 'fudge' mechanism to physically allow it to work.

* The WITNESS Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST:
Mark 8:31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer
many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests
and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mark 9:31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, "The Son
of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will
kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days
later." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^
Mark 10:34 "And they will mock Him and spit upon Him, and scourge Him,
and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mark 12:26 "But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you
not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning
bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
Luke 18:33 and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and
the third day He will rise again. "
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Luke 24:46 and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ
should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day;^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he
who believes in Me shall live even if he dies,
John 20:9 For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He
must rise again from the dead. ^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Acts 17:3 ...explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to
suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom
I am proclaiming to you is the Christ."
* The WITNESS Of The APOSTLE PAUL: 1 Corinthians 15:1-26
1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to
you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I
preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received,
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one
time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;
8 and last of all, as it were to one untimely born, He appeared to me
also.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did
not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I,
but the grace of God with me.
11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead,
how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has
been raised;
14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your
faith also is vain.
15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we
witnessed against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise,
if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are
still in your sins.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most
to be pitied.
20 BUT NOW CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD, the first fruits of
those who are asleep.
21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection
of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those
who are Christ's at His coming,
24 then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and
Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
LOGICAL PROOFS OF JESUS CHRIST'S RESURRECTION
1. Jesus's enemies *would not* have stolen His
body because that would have perpetrated the
resurrection--the very opposite of what they
desired.
2. Jesus' disciples *could not* have stolen His
body because Pontius Pilate established guards
to stand watch over the tomb lest His body be
stolen.
3. Sadly (and ironically), many of Jesus' disciples
did not believe in the Resurrection until Jesus
had risen from the dead.
4. In nearly 20 centuries, no body has ever been
produced to refute Jesus' assertion that He
*would indeed* rise from the dead.

not even going to try to refute this absolutely insane statement.
"I hate the Habs" ?...you sound like a 10-year old. This
statement is just further exemplifies your total inability to
argue objectively about hockey. Don't give me this crap about
"cogent arguments"...I've yet to read something of yours that is
cogent. You consistently argue with: (1) emotion; (2) huge,
sweeping statements
Frankly, you have a very unconvincing style.
I'm not defending Bob Gainey...frankly, I don't care for him all
that much. But your dismissal of him as something less than an
effective hockey player is tiresome...it has no basis in
anything. How many Calders did he win? I think it was four (go
ahead and refresh my memory). What about the Conn Smythe? Was
that a fluke? Yeah, not the makings of a hockey superstar, I
know, but try to have a reason, any reason, to shoot him down.
Hey cowboy! You're the "expert" who introduced the idiotic
comparison of Gainey with Gretzky and Lemieux...you figure it
out.
How many individual awards between them? Eight...I don't remember
(once again, please feel free to refresh my memory...and try to
be as sarcastic as possible about my "hockey education").
OH MY GOD!!! Did I say that? Roger...what's your point? Fuhr
is a goaltender, goaltender's don't "plug"...in his prime, he was
one of the best. Sanderson was a scrapper...if you stick him on
you may as well include half the Flyers team of the same era.
Oh Roger, you shouldn't...really. I don't deserve this...you are
far too accomodating already.
You seem to have allowed all of these other players fall into
your sweeping, vacuous statement...that's why. If you want to
debate Gainey, go ahead...but why bring up everybody else? How
does it support your argument? Do you have an argument, or do
you just like to throw around a few names hoping to impress us?
Great. I couldn't agree more. The Flyers won two cups for the
same reasons...deservedly so. So what? I don't get it. Are you
angry that the Leafs didn't get more recognition?
You seem to think these pluggers are "hyped"...I don't
agree...plain and simple. If you're last statement is some sort
of compromise, fair enough.
Not a pleasant bone in your body, eh Rog? Why are you so
unhappy? Not getting invited to enough parties? What?
Roger, why are you under the impression that responding to your
posts is some great honour? You really should stop...it sounds
a little bit pathetic. Frankly, it's about as honourable as a
good fart.
congenially, as always,

I'm looking for good background and review paper references that can help me
understand the dynamics of cytoskeleton in normal and transformed cells. In
particular, I'm not interested in translational behavior and cell motility,
but rather in the internal motions of the cytoskeleton and its components
under normal and transformed circumstances.
Also, I'd appreciate any data on force constants, mechanical, and elastic
properties of microtubules, and viscous properties of cytoplasm. Any other
info relevant to the vibrational or acoustical properties of these would
be useful to me.
Thanks...

The SDIO has "contracted" with the NRL (Naval Research Laboratory) to fly the Clementine Mission. BTW we call it DSPSE (Deep Space Project Science Experiment).
The NRL is building the spacecraft, designing the detailed mission and doing the
integration and operations (with help from, JPL & Goddard & prob. some folks I
have left out...don't be mad).
I am on the TAMP (Trajectory Analysis & Mission Planning) team and am responsable
for the IV&V of the traj that Goddard/CSC are designing.
As for why SDIO is doing it, some of the reasons are:
1) the safety constraints are too tight to try to run the LIDAR in LEO
2) in LEO we don't get any new radiation data on the sensors, we will get
that data on our 9 passages through the Van Allen (sp?) Belts
3) since we are going out there...why not piggy-back some general science
4) the intercept problem is a lot easied over LONG distances and LONG times
I am sure there are some things I have forgotten, and some I haven't been told
but, those are the reasons we all talk about.

To all a.a readers:
I have been asked be several of you to post a list of the SDA Church's
27 Fundamental beliefs. I warn you now, it's a long list. However, I'll
post it on Sunday. Sabbath is coming up soon so I won't be reading on
Saturday. And I don't have time to do it now.
I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would keep me in touch with what's
going on.
I hope all of you have a reastful and relaxing weekend. I hope it's
the best one so far!!

The case report of the first xenotransplant was published in Lancet 1993; 341:65-71.
I can send you a reprint if you are interested.
There was another paper, sort of a tour of the horizon, written by Starzl and
published in the Resident's Edition of the Annals of Surgery (vol 216, October 1992).
It's in the Surgical Resident's Newsletter section, so you won't find it in the regular
issue of the Annals. I don't have any reprints of that one.
A paper has been accepted for publication by Immunology Today, though I'm not sure
when it's coming out, describing our experience with the two xenografts done to date.
As for segmental liver transplants from living related donors I must confess to a total
ignorance of that literature. We are philosophically opposed to those, and I don't keep
up with that particular field.

Regarding the moral question Jen ([email protected]) asked: "Is it
okay to create a child if you aren't able to be a good parent?", I
am reminded of a "speech" by one of the characters (I can't remember
which) in the movie "Parenthood". [I am WAY to liberal with my
quotation marks tonight...]
In this so-called (by me) speech, the character is expressing what
a lousy father he had and he made an interesting point. He said
something to the effect of:
"You have to have a license to drive a car. You have to have a
license to own a dog. You even have to have a license to fish.
But, they'll anyone have a kid." [Keep in mind that I am, in NO
way, trying to pass this off as a quote. It is probably GROSSLY
distorted but I think you get the point...]
