   BACKGROUND
  
   A 76-year-old woman underwent left pneumonectomy for the treatment of a squamous cell carcinoma. A routine chest radiograph was obtained 6 months after the operation (see Image A). Two weeks later, the patient presents with a cough, a fever, and the production of large amount of brown sputum; another chest radiograph is obtained (see Image B). What is the abnormality shown on the most recent chest radiograph?
 

   
   

 
  
   Hint
  
   This complication may occur in as many as 3% of patients undergoing pneumonectomy.

Then you should skim more of them. Hawkings really jelled black hole
theory in the '73 work. He's pretty much the real modern father to some
folks.

I think he kicks Wheelers ass (nothing personal to Wheeler).

I've got saucer.ssz.com under Plan 9 r4

2003-02-12 Thread Jim Choate

Hi,

Just a quick note that I've finally got Plan 9 to load without a lot of
hassle (eg some temporary DOS partition w/ a image). It now sees the CD on
install. So, I'm ready to do the demo next Thu. We are hot and online
people, finally ;)

After that I'll put my energy into getting the Auth functionality working.
At that point we'll bring the 9P file server online (ie roswell.ssz.com).
It will be 80G.

After that I'll get igor (ie general purpose anonymizing remailer under
Plan 9) working so we can move all the mailing lists and such over
(that's going to take a little longer). In the interim I'll get a irc
server and webpage going on saucer. I should have much ready in the
next 2-3 weeks. At that point I'll be in a position to start managing
keys for other sites w/ respect to namespace/resource access. We need
somebody who can do graphics, for the webpage. All work would be
contributed in some sort of Open Source license (which we'll have
to work out).

We need machines with dedicated and reasonably high speed (>= 128kb ISDN)
connections. Process serves are probably needed first. I'd suggest that
anyone interested create their own public (and private) namespace and then
we can transitively mount it through any of them. It would also be nice
if anyone has the resources if we could keep a 'lazy update' going so
nobody would lose anything in the namespace (at least that stuff that is
reasonable to back up). Several archive sites would be even sweeter.

With respect to the number of connections per node, we're trying to make
this a 'small worlds' network architecture. That means that each node
should have ln(n) connections (this is backbone connections as compared to
users accessing via a server. Each pair of nodes on a connection should
act to minimize common connections.

Regarding the irc server we'll have the following channels:

#plan9
#inferno
#hangar18
#cypherpunks
#open-science
#cliology

We can make other channels on request, provided they seem
'reasonable'...;)

If you're receiving this it means that you're on a mailing list which is
set to be moved in the near future to a Plan 9 based server. If you're
intrested in Plan 9 then please visit:

http://plan9.bell-labs.com

http://open-forge.org

ps If there are any musicians out there, I'm interested in having a
   demo where muscians pipe their data via Plan 9 servers from
   distant sites where they each share the n-1 hardware feeds in
   parallel from the other sites.this means that any listener
   would mount the outgoing feeds under /dev/* and then dump them to
   their local sound card.

Urgent Notice
Cost of Airport Security Soaring
By Barbara De Lollis, USA TODAYThe Transportation Security Administration expects to pay as much as $211 million a month for passenger screening services from private firms.  Congress initially funded the TSA with $1.3 billion.  The Bush administration is seeking $4.4 billion more to carry the agency through September 30.

It is possible to come up with a reasonable explanation for the DOJ's
tortured and internally contradictory position by saying they're trying
to do as little as they can while still making the broad conservative
community reasonably happy. This is consistent with that theory:

Note by broad conservative community I do not include
politically-active gun owners, who would like an actual principled
stand on the 2A. Fat chance.

The DOJ wants to have it both ways. Watch what they say about
Washington, DC's Draconian gun laws in this week's lawsuit. You can't
legally *possess* *any* firearm inside the city limits without prior
police approval. That's why the Republicans (and a good number of the
small number of libertarians here) live in Virginia.

Safety Checklist for Families On-The-Go 
(Here is the first 5 tips. Next issue covers the other 5)

Just about every American family has the same lament: too much to do 
and too few hours in the day. Parents juggle family and career 
responsibilities while kids race from school to myriad extracurricular 
activities. All this running around can make it hard to find time to sit 
down and assess family safety. 

The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) is the oldest and 
largest national nonprofit organization developing and promoting policies 
and programs to protect America's children and strengthen America's 
families. CWLA, recently selected by Worth magazine as one of the 
country's top 100 charities for the second year in a row, has created 
this list of safety issues to think about, along with some family safety tips. 

1. Car Seat Safety 

You may think that since you have a child car seat, you've done all you 
can do to ensure your child's safety while on the road. But proper 
installation of a car seat is not always as simple as it seems. Be sure to 
read the manufacturer's instruction manual for proper use and installation 
guidelines. If you have any questions, call the manufacturer or visit their 
Web site. Also, many local police stations, fire stations and hospitals 
will check your car seat for proper installation. 


2. Make Sure Smoke Alarms Work 

Having smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your home 
is one of the easiest things you can do to protect your family. But they 
are worthless if the batteries have gone dead. Fire departments 
recommend changing your batteries once a year. Pick a date you'll 
remember -- your birthday, New Year's day, when you switch to 
daylight savings time, etc. Also, remember to test your alarms monthly 
to make sure they're working and keep them free from dust. 


3. Have an Escape Plan 

What would your family do if there was a fire in your home? Make sure 
you have an escape plan and practice it with your family. The best 
escape plans have two ways to get out of each room. When escaping, 
stay low to the floor. Smoke rises during a fire and the safest air is 
down low. Pick a sa

There's absolutely nothing wrong with reading popularizers.

both
of his books. His own "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity" is crystal 
clear
in describing several of the competing theories. Smolin also explains
what's really important. (Check the archives for my past comments on
Smolin and topos theory, for example, from last summer.)

Never heard of him... Books are very expensive in Portugal...

He's one of Magueijo's collaborators on VSL, so if you have not heard

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
DR. FAROUK BELLO
DIRECTOR, ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT,
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION  (N.N.P.C)
TELEOHONE NUMBER;234-8034748664
dear Sir,

TRANSFER OF $28,600,000:00 (TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS) ONLY.

 I got your contact from the Nigerian Chamber of
Commerce & Industry. Following this and other
investigations resulting in a good recommendation. We
have decided to contact you to help us with the legal
Transfer of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million Six
hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The amount
stated above resulted from an over-invoiced contract
executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (N.N.P.C.) for which the contractors have
been fully paid. Because this money was part of the
overall contract sum amounting to close to
(US$100,000,000:00) that has been completed.

The said amount has remained dormant and floating in
our Apex Bank. Therefore, we will raise supplementary
documents to enable us transfer into an account that
is yet to be nominated. We need a foreign partner,
because as civil servants, the code of conduct does
not allow us to operate foreign bank accounts. Hence
we solicit for your assistance, we are requesting you
to provide us with the help for the safekeeping of
this money until our arrival in your company to
collect our share and decide on investment
possibilities of this money.

For your assistance in this transaction, we have
unanimously agreed to offer you 30% of this money, 5%
will be used in settling any incidental expenses that
may arise and the remaining amount will be for us. To
enable the prompt transfer of this money, kindly send
to us your personal details, contact information &
bank details in full.

We look forward to hearing from you and thanking you
for your anticipated cooperation and consideration in
the above subject matter. Please be informed that we
would appreciate the handling of this transaction in a
confidential manner. We sincerely advise that you
contact us on the above Telephone and fax numbers to
maintain the confidentiality of the business. Sending
e-mail will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

DR FAROUK BELLO

Computers and mathematics are a bit diferent from physics, in that the 
materialization of your ideas can have a vast laboratory in other people's 
computers... You could try a diferent way of doing criptoscience if you built 
a diferent comunity.

But if you only want the recognition of "certain individuals" and "certain 
establishments" what can i say?!  Everybody wants 3 meals a day...
It will not be me to judge that badly...

One of my problems is that there could be people doing real research on their

Yes, he will. Americans love collecting "things". I remember Einstein 
commenting why he had to receive in his office, every VIP in the IAS in 
Princeton: "You see, I have been bought by Mr Flesher for the IAS and he has 
to have some return for the investment..."

Continuous math is a dead end.  So are strings.

The manifold folks are never going to produce anything which obsoletes the
big general relativity book by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler, which will
live forever as the apex of predictive power of the manifold approach to
spacetime dynamics.

That doesn't mean we won't find some deviation in the 10th decimal place
of some experiment which tantalizingly hints at things beyond.  In terms
of things we can do useful engineering with, however, there is absolutely
nothing we will find ourselves able to do in 11 dimensions which can't be
done in 4.

Moving beyond general relativity will require a completely new way of
thinking about the problem, not just extra dimensions and the attempted
quantization of gravity.  Or loudly trumpeted discoveries that the speed
of light differed in the 9th decimal place several billion years ago.

The "M" in M-Theory stands for Moron.

There is a NEED for destructive purification in today's science.

Popularization of science should not be taken as the stupid adoration 
of
uncompreensible speeches from the so called "great popularisers of 
science".

Does the common man read his Hawking's book? Did Hawking even write it?

Second, I don't know about Hawking's books, but Lee Smolin is one of 
the current popularizers who have done excellent jobs. I recommend both

Hawking writes about fairly established stuff, the usual black hole 
stuff. This was mostly old hat 30 years ago (which is when I took Jim 
Hartle's class on general relativity). Hawking doesn't get much into 
the newer theories, at least not in any of the books of his I've 
skimmed.

(One of my texts 30 years ago was the Hawking and Ellis book, "The 
Large Scale Structure of Spacetime." This was heavy going, not the 
popular fluff he's been turning out lately.)

Third, I have no idea if the VSL theory is "right." Time will tell.

Fourth, but I will say that Magueijo undercuts his arguments with his 
scatological denunciations of the establishment. I'll be the first to

attempting to get math or crypto results accepted, I doubt this

Magueijo may seem to be going too far on the scientific establishment for an 
anglo-saxon. But for a fellow portuguese with the same critique, as magueijo 
is a portuguese natural living in England his opinions seem rather tame.

Portuguese academia is state suported for more than 800 years, it has become 
a corporative octopus where the intelligentsia families take the same 
department positions, year after year, century after century.

Our former fascist dictator was an economics professor (wich he didn't really 
understand...).

All the physical sciences have long been despised and only the engineering 
departments have some reputation. But only has providers of technocrats, more 
apt to manage people than to create or invent...

With 1974 Revolution, many returning scientists expected for a change.

It hasn't happened. There are now laboratories in Portugal, better equiped 
than those in France, England or the USA, but with no technicians or experts 
to work with the machines... The university departments have become expert at 
gaining funds from international bodies but because of labirintic admission 
policies and vested interests the money and equipment disapear or are 
forgotten.

Articles of no quality are published and there are people who never have 
written original work with page long curriculum's...

Everything that could go wrong in academia and science is in Portugal.

That is the background Magueijo comes from...

But, it is not only in Portugal... Everywhere science has declined, as it 
becomes part of the political logic of governments, ideologies and power 
groups...

There is a NEED for destructive purification in today's science.

Popularization of science should not be taken as the stupid adoration of 
uncompreensible speeches from the so called "great popularisers of science".

Does the common man read his Hawking's book? Did Hawking even write it?

Everybody should be a tinkerer and a scientist at heart!! Or at least have an 
honest and decent oportunity to be one!!!

Hello -

You get emails every day, offering to show you how to make money.
Most of these emails are from people who are NOT making any money.
And they expect you to listen to them?

Enough.

If you want to make money with your computer, then you should
hook up with a group that is actually DOING it.  We are making
a large, continuing income every month.  What's more - we will
show YOU how to do the same thing.

This business is done completely by internet and email, and you
can even join for free to check it out first.  If you can send
an email, you can do this.  No special "skills" are required.

How much are we making?  Anywhere from $2000 to $9000 per month.
We are real people, and most of us work at this business part-time.
But keep in mind, we do WORK at it - I am not going to 
insult your intelligence by saying you can sign up, do no work,
and rake in the cash.  That kind of job does not exist.  But if
you are willing to put in 10-12 hours per week, this might be
just the thing you are looking for.

This is not income that is determined by luck, or work that is
done FOR you - it is all based on your effort.  But, as I said,
there are no special skills required.  And this income is RESIDUAL -
meaning that it continues each month (and it tends to increase
each month also).

Interested?  I invite you to find out more.  You can get in as a
free member, at no cost, and no obligation to continue if you
decide it is not for you.  We are just looking for people who still
have that "burning desire" to find an opportunity that will reward
them incredibly well, if they work at it.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

P.S. After having several negative experiences with network

Subject: February 15th Protests

Saturday February 15th has been designated an international day of protest
against war in Iraq.  Organized protests will be occurring in at least 431
cities around the world.
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=725

Here are some details.

In NYC, for the first time ever, a court has upheld the denial of a permit
for a protest march.  Instead, the "uncontrolled peace march"ers will be
confined to a stationary rally point on First Avenue and 49th street,
extending uptown.  Confirmed speakers and performers include:
Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Martin Luther King III, Julian
Bond, Mos Def, Patti Smith, Holly Near, Tony Kushner, Welfare Poets.

http://www.nirs.org/Feb15info.htm
http://unitedforpeace.org/article.php?list=sub&sub=30

In Austin, there will be a rally at the State Capitol and a march down
Congress.

On Saturday, February 15, at 1:00 pm, concerned Austinites will join
people around the country and around the world in protesting the
impending war on Iraq. UT Prof. Robert Jensen will emcee. Speakers
include author and activist Rahul Mahajan, a Gulf War veteran, UT  Prof.
Dana Cloud, and Lisa Krebs, a UT student activist. Music by Guy Forsyth.
It will be followed by a march down Congress Avenue. Massive outreach is
needed. To download flyers for printing and distribution,  see
http://www.austinagainstwar.org/events.html
Location: State Capitol, 11th and Congress.

In Houston, protests will be rallying in Eleanor Tinsley Park, along Allen
Parkway.
http://www.tuaw.org/f15hou/

In San Antonio, activists will be marching for peace from Hemisfair Park
(The Tower of Americas) to Milam park.
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?calid=1697

In Seattle, activists will gather at the Seattle Center at 11:30 (Fisher
Pavillion/Center Fountain), rally at noon, and march at 1pm to the Federal
Building and the INS Detention Center.  I like that they are encouraging
everyone to bring a red flower of some sort to leave at the march
destinations. http://www.feb15.org/

In Dallas, protestors will gather behind the Guadalupe Cathedral,
2215 Ross @ 1pm, march @ 1:30pm to Kennedy Memorial, stopping briefly at
symbolic locations, and rally @ 3:00 pm at the Kennedy Memorial, including
speakers, music, and more.
http://www.dallaspeacecenter.org/

In Flagstaff, protestors will convene at Wheeler Park (Humphries and
Aspen?) at noon then parade downtown.
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?calid=1607

In Phoenix, activists will rally in Patriot's Square Park and march
through downtown...
http://www.spidel.net/justice/march.htm

In Paris...  it sounds like the rally point is à 14h Place Denfert
Rochereau, with a march on the Bastille...
http://france.attac.org/site/page.php?idpage=2208

I encourage participation in this day's events.  Cats up in NYC, keep your
heads about ya, as I imagine that's going to be a major focal point.
After all, it's a march for peace.

DR. HASSAN BELLO
DIRECTOR, ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT,

TELEPHONE NUMBER;234-8034748664
dear Sir,

TRANSFER OF $28,600,000:00 (TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS) ONLY.

 I got your contact from the Nigerian Chamber of
Commerce & Industry. Following this and other
investigations resulting in a good recommendation. We
have decided to contact you to help us with the legal
Transfer of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million Six
hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The amount
stated above resulted from an over-invoiced contract
executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (N.N.P.C.) for which the contractors have
been fully paid. Because this money was part of the
overall contract sum amounting to close to
(US$100,000,000:00) that has been completed.

The said amount has remained dormant and floating in
our Apex Bank. Therefore, we will raise supplementary
documents to enable us transfer into an account that
is yet to be nominated. We need a foreign partner,
because as civil servants, the code of conduct does
not allow us to operate foreign bank accounts. Hence
we solicit for your assistance, we are requesting you
to provide us with the help for the safekeeping of
this money until our arrival in your company to
collect our share and decide on investment
possibilities of this money.

For your assistance in this transaction, we have
unanimously agreed to offer you 30% of this money, 5%
will be used in settling any incidental expenses that
may arise and the remaining amount will be for us. To
enable the prompt transfer of this money, kindly send
to us your personal details, contact information &
bank details in full.

We look forward to hearing from you and thanking you
for your anticipated cooperation and consideration in
the above subject matter. Please be informed that we
would appreciate the handling of this transaction in a
confidential manner. We sincerely advise that you
contact us on the above Telephone and fax numbers to
maintain the confidentiality of the business. Sending
e-mail will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

The arabs hunger for development and modernity.  In the past
they absorbed the worst poisons spewed by western universities,
socialism and anti-imperialist nationalism, and attempted to
apply them, with predictably disastrous results,   Then they
healthily came to reject these foolish and dangerous ideas, and
attempted to return to their roots, with results that were bad
for us as well as them.

The theory of the democratic imperialists is to export better
ideas at gunpoint.  It is far from clear that this will work,
even if tried honestly and vigorously -- we are running into a
bit of trouble applying it in Kosovo.  It is also far from
clear that the US has the necessary will and virtue to apply it
in Iraq.

The Germans and the French are not very keen on doing it at
all, but realizing that position is unpopular, instead say they
doubt the US will to do it.

information was taken from a clinical trial conducted bythe American Anti-Aging Society, Knoxville, Tn. Click Here for Entire Study.
Hello, My name is Dr. Don Johnson, President of the 
American Anti-Aging Society. Our well known and established organisation is constantly researching and developing methods and products to slow down and even reverse the effects of aging. I'm writing to share with you an important medical breakthrough in the treatment of aging. Very recently, a product was released by the name of Pure
 GH-Releaser. This revolutionary product is clinically proven to reverse the aging process.  Many physical, mental and blood chemistry tests were performed (Studying IGF-1 & HGH levels over 3 & 6 Month Periods). Our team of scientists witnessed a stunning reversal in the human aging 
process! The average IGF-1 level, (IGF-1 is the amount of Growth Hormone stored in your blood which declines significantly with age), showed an increase of 402.4 percent in our clinical trial, effectively REVERSING the Aging Process!  This is an incredible result, completely unparalleled by any other HGH product on the market today. Tests showed that people who had taken Pure GH-Releaser noticed significant results even in the first week. 
These results include: • New hair growth and color restored
•   Increased energy levels•Improved sleep and emotional stability• Improved memory and mental alertness
• Increased sexual potency / frequency• Controlled cholesterol• Loss in body fat 
• Increased muscle strength and size•Reduced cellulite• Wrinkle disappearance
 Moreover, people have reported a significant increase in their energy levels, similarto what they felt in their 20's.Pure
GH-Releaser is not a Stimulator, Replacer, or a Steroid. It is a 100 percent natural growth hormone Secretagogue, with a new active Homeopathic HGH Enhancer in an easy to swallow capsule form. It can be absorbed effectively by the body to reactivate your Dormant Pituitary Gland and give an Extra Boost of HGH into the blood stream to be picked by the liver for conversion into IGF -1. This process will start to reverse the aging process at a much faster rate.Click here now

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any RKBA organization without some sort of right-wing, 
religious, or loonie ties.  The Gunowners of America (GOA) back right-wing Christian

Apropos of nothing, here's what I wrote yesterday about the entire

I wrote the above yesterday because I'm possessed lately by this
goofy notion that "liberals", and "social democrats", and
"progressives", and all the other refried Marxists out there will
collapse like degenerate electrons against their political opposites
into some kind of statist neutronium someday, resulting in something
with the political prayerbook of the modern small-l (as in
lipservice) libertarian "right", with aisles patrolled the usual
knock-you-on-your-head bluenose-and-busybody deacons of
authoritarianism.

Someday.

This was brought on by a Bartley editorial in the Wall Street Journal
a little while ago that observed that Bush & Co. are displaying all
the hallmarks of an emerging establishment, operating under the same
implicit rules, the same leaderless ability to turn setbacks into
opportunities, that the original "liberal" elite was able to do after
the cryptosocialists took over the Roosevelt agenda in the 1930's.


Probably just wishful thinking, internet millennialism, and all that,
but, if it does happen, the technology this list advocates be what,
paradoxically, brings that collapse about. Ubiquitous bandwidth,
cryptographic privacy and authentication and so on, pretty much kill
closed societies, especially those who calculate their prices instead
of discover them with markets.


In such a world, actual Big-L Libertarians, as the political
inheritors of that technological and economic whirlwind, will become
the only logical political opposition to that strange-matter amalgam
of refried Marxism and muscular Christianity, both of which, you
notice, *are* pretty much theocrats.


Like modern neocons had to do under the last 70 years of intellectual
occupation, Libertarians will have to considerably sharpen their
arguments and organization, and do so under a deluge of criticism
that will make the recent liberal pulsar sound like background
radiation.


That is, if we don't all just collapse past degenerate neutron
pressure into the event-horizon of crypto-anarcho-captialism, right?
:-).


Cheers,
RAH
Who -- until whatever degenerate political pressure takes hold -- is
still voting for the muscular Christians, thank you very much, and
who, as a consequence, thinks rather highly of the idea of paving the
entire fertile crescent, after pounding certain political features of
it to rubble, and replacing it all with a giant concatenation of
freeways, strip malls, franchise restaurants and nudie-bars from one
end of the Tigris/Euphrates valley to the other. Albuquerque. That's
it. Albuquerque on the Euphrates. I *love* Albuquerque. Heck, I even
like Walnut Creek (maybe even Concord, too :-)). Yeah. Pave the
cradle of civilization. Who *says* you can't go home again?

His words are pretty much without meaning. All gun laws are
unconstitutional and should be repealed immediately, and
all those who have fallen victim to the legal system as a result
of the enforcement of these laws should be granted restitution.

It is possible that there could be a gun law that would be
constitutional, but no such laws currently exist.

The NRA is openly hostile towards the "embarrasing 2nd Amendment". 
The NRA is mostly all about allowing the weathly wingshooters to

I can't imagine this is the stupidest, but there's a state office building

put up a wooden shack in front of the main entrance, where anyone going in

The really entertaining bit is that, since most people going into the

The Roman Solution: Fixing the Shuttle safety problems at NASA

2003-02-12 Thread Steve Schear
The Roman Solution: Fixing the Shuttle safety problems at NASA
by Steven Schear
12 February 2003

Since Columbia's untimely destruction the popular media have been filled 
with stories about the possible failures of systems designed to assure the 
safety of NASA's Space Transportation System (STS).  Engineers at NASA 
often decry the qualifications and motives of management, especially the 
politically appointed.  As in most such failures the roots often lie in 
unrealistic expectations and human shortcomings.

The Lesson from Challenger
When Nobel laureate Richard Feynman was investigating the Challenger 
explosion he received conflicting views about safety from engineers and 
management.  There were enormous differences of opinion as to the 
probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The 
estimates ranged from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures 
came from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management. 
What were the causes and consequences of this lack of agreement? Since 1 
part in 100,000 would imply that one could put a Shuttle up each day for 
300 years expecting to lose only one, we could properly ask "What was the 
cause of management's fantastic faith in the machinery?"

Management maintained that the higher figures are for unmanned rockets but 
since the Shuttle is a manned vehicle "the probability of mission success 
is necessarily very close to 1.0." It is not very clear what this phrase 
meant. Did it mean it is close to 1 or that it ought to be close to 1? They 
went on to explain "Historically this extremely high degree of mission 
success has given rise to a difference in philosophy between manned space 
flight programs and unmanned programs; i.e., numerical probability usage 
versus engineering judgment."

Richard found that the certification criteria used in Flight Readiness 
Reviews often developed a gradually decreasing strictness. The argument 
that the same risk was flown before without failure is often accepted as an 
argument for the safety of accepting it again. Because of this, obvious 
weaknesses were accepted again and again, sometimes without a sufficiently 
serious attempt to remedy them, or to delay a flight because of their 
continued presence.

I posit that, despite the efforts of a generation of NASA engineers and the 
implied attention to STS safety from both Congress and succeeding 
management, not much has changed in the risks or the manner in which risks 
are assessed and important decisions made.  And why should it?  The basic 
Shuttle technology, while incrementally improved since Challenger, is 
fundamentally the same.  Key incentives to Congress and management have 
been left unchanged.  The fix is simple: honesty and consequences.

The Roman Solution
Two thousand years ago the Roman Empire built what are unarguably some of 
the finest structures.  Their roads, bridges and aqueducts were 
suburb.  Many remain in constant operation with little or no repair. Some 
were only recently replaced.  How were the Romans able to create such 
lasting edifices from then leading edge materials, design and fabrication 
techniques?

In Roman times its architects were some of the best paid and most revered 
in the empire (perhaps second only to leading gladiators).  The invention 
of concrete and the perfection of the arch were Rome's greatest gifts to 
architecture.  Structures using arches often were designed so that 
load-bearing parts were in compression against one another and depended on 
each other for stability.  For arches to be sturdy the stones had to be cut 
and positioned precisely.  Even minor mistakes could spell disaster.  It 
was found that due to the arch's nature faulty designs and construction 
were almost always immediately apparent.  The arch components were held in 
place until completion by a sturdy scaffolding system.  When the 
scaffolding was taken down if the arch stood it would endure.  If not, 
entire structures often immediately failed.  To insure that such accidents 
were rare Roman law decreed that architects would stand beneath the 
scaffold when it was removed.  As a result there were few failures.

I think its time that Congress and NASA treat the Shuttle program as if 
they were actuaries with an insurance company.  They need to publicly 
accept the risks originally calculated by engineers for STS: about 1 loss 
per 100 (events may indicated even that figure may even be optimistic).  If 
both Congress and management continue to tell the public that the STS is 
far safer than results have indicated, that the problems can and will be 
fixed, and that going forward astronaut lives are much less likely be to be 
lost then they should put their money and their lives where their mouths 
are.  My recommendations are:

1. That Congressmen on Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation 
Committee and the House Science Committee be required by Congressional 
measure to place a substantial portion

Gun control: Schools ban even the word

Sarah Ruttan

The Ottawa Citizen



The Upper Canada District School Board has removed the word gun from all
spelling tests in its schools as a result of a complaint by parents of a
Grade 1 student.

Every Monday, Chloe Sousa, 7, comes home from Lombardy Public School
with a list of 10 words to learn, and each Friday her class is tested on
these words. By last week, the class had worked its way through the
alphabet to the letter G.

Amanda and Mark Sousa, who consider themselves to be pacifists and who
are raising their two young children with this governing belief, were
shocked when Amanda's spelling list last week included the word gun.

"I realize people hunt in this area, but I still don't think that
warrants the teaching of this word to my daughter or any other child,"
said Mrs. Sousa.

The Sousas relocated to tiny Lombardy, about an hour west of Ottawa near
Smiths Falls, from Kingston, where Mr. Sousa still works, to be closer
to family.

Mrs. Sousa wrote a letter to her daughter's teacher describing her views
on the word gun, her unease with any child learning to spell the word, a
few alternatives, and the wish to speak to the teacher about its
inclusion on the list.

"The word gun is synonymous with death. I'm racking my brain trying to
figure out why a seven-year-old would need to learn this word," said
Mrs. Sousa, who admits she was hesitant to bring her views forward for
fear of backlash from the school toward her daughter, and because some
may view her problem with the word gun as another political correctness
issue gone too far.

"For a split second I considered whether or not I should raise this
issue, but I knew I had to stand up for what I believe in. This was not
right," she said.

"I don't think this is an issue of political correctness. It's an issue
of protecting your child from violence. Guns are violent. End of story,"
said Mrs. Sousa.

The Sousas did not hear from the teacher. Then Chloe was sent home later
in the week, again with her list, which now came complete with pictures
beside each word.

"It wasn't a water gun or a toy gun, it was a pistol," said Mr. Sousa.

"I was horrified that not only were we ignored, but now my daughter is
carrying around a picture of a gun," he said.

Mrs. Sousa then decided it was time to call the school to speak to the
principal.

Not long after she placed the telephone call yesterday, the teacher
returned her call and apologized for the word being part of the test, as
did Terry Simzer, a public relations specialist for the school board in
which the Lombardy Public school belongs.

Mr. Simzer explained that the word gun had been in the curriculum for a
number of years, but as of yesterday, gun has been removed from the
spelling test because of the Sousas' complaint.

"I can't say how many years it's been used, but a number of years, yes,"
said Mr. Simzer, and he defended the word as being a good phonetic word
and short vowel word that is easy for young readers to learn.

"We do appreciate the sensitivity around the word, especially in these
times, and have taken the word from the list because of this parent's
complaint," he said.

"But children do hear this word every day on the news, particularly
about blank registration -- I don't want to say the word so I don't
offend anybody," added Mr. Simzer.

"We are quite happy that the whole matter has been resolved and the word
will no longer be included in our curriculum."

Although the Sousas remain disappointed the word was ever included in a
Grade 1 spelling test, the family is happy with the outcome.

"Even after all of the obstacles I'm happy with the conclusion," said
Mrs. Sousa.

"I accomplished what I set out to do and that was to have this word
removed from my daughter's spelling list."

It's just the same as some people claiming particular alcoholic drinks
are better or worse than others.


   That's hardly a good analogy.


Why not?   Alcohol is a drug like any other and its users attribute 
particular effects to particular forms of alcohol based on their own 
subjective experience with little or no objective agreement.

A friend was once sick on gin and still believes gin makes you sick 
whereas other forms of alcohol won't, yet many people drink gin without 
ill effects.  There are probably people who believe the same thing 
about vodka or whiskey.

In double blind tests, where neither the doctor nor the subject knows
which drug is which, people can't distinguish major psychedelic drugs
anyway.  The only clear distinction is the duration of drug effect
which does vary.

This is usually denied by users of these drugs despite numerous 
studies
supporting this since the late 1960s.

I can't imagine how they could ever do any sort of serious test, 
let alone a
"double blind test" -- the length of experience would be a dead 
giveaway.

It's one of the few defining characteristics of psychedelic drugs that 
the perception of time is generally  impaired by the intoxication, 
although some people like Kesey have screwed up the doctor's results by 
cheating and using their heartbeart to judge time :-)

Besides which anyone with any real experience would easily recognize 
the
essential flavor, if you will, of the particular psychedelic, and the 
quite
different and distictive voice of the Other. Or lack, thereof, for 
instance in
LSD. They are simply far too different -- on LSD, people are up, eyes 
open,
grooving on sights and sounds, talking to people, but on strong doses 
of
psilocybin and ayahuasca you'll most likely be snuggled under a warm 
quilt with
your eyes shut in a dark room. And preferably alone. Totally different
experiences -- the voice of the Other with psilocybin and ayahuasca 
are very,
very different from each other as well.

Another defining characteristic is the extreme variability of effects.  
Any one of the psychedelic drugs (at least of the main family such as 
LSD, psilocybin and mescaline) tends to have very different effects on 
different occasions.  How can you say LSD on one day is different to 
psilocybin on another when LSD on one day is even different to LSD on 
another day?

People generalise from their own experience but this is just subjective 
and they never agree on what different effects these drugs are supposed 
to have, although there often seems to be an irrational preference for 
"natural" drugs as if all natural substances are safe which they 
aren't.  Also there is a self fulfilling aspect to this since if people 
expect drug X to have effect Y it does due to the "set and setting" 
aspect.

But when they are objectively asked to identify the drug after taking 
it in lab trials they are shown to fail.  For example, LSD can't be 
distinguished from mescaline or psilocybin despite most drug users 
believing the drugs are very different.

Hollister, Leo E. and Sjoberg, Bernard M. 1964

"Clinical syndromes and biochemical alterations following mescaline, 
lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin, and a combination of the three 
psychomimetic drugs."

Comprehensive Psychiatry 5: 170-178

There are also interesting studies from the 1960s (sorry no references 
handy) suggesting the rate of psychosis amongst LSD users (using a 
sample set of about 1000) is no different from the general non-LSD 
using population.

By the time that people were mixing speed with it, actual dosages were
much less (adding amphetamines to 250mic LSD is fairly pointless) and 
>today most, from what I hear, are around 75-100 mic.

In the early 80s I remembering getting some of the famous Goofy blotter, 
rated around 125 ugm. Microdots were around 35ugm.


   Hardly. Well, wandering around anywhere is not a good idea -- set and 
setting
are extremely important.

Well, wandering around in Soho NYC back when all the avante-garde galleries 
were there was quite a trip...some of these galleries were desgined already 
to be "immersive", so that plus LSD really allowed one to leave one's normal 
psychological space and step into an alien one. This isn't exactly an 
obvious step on the path towards ego-destruction, but it does open one's 
mind up to ideas and modes of being that one's normal nature would have 
never truly encountered.



   Yup - increase their dose. Best thing that could happen to the world 
would be
the development of a benign airforce that sprayed a fog of lsd/dmso on 
areas
like Palestine. Real LSD, that is. Or better yet, psilocybin.  8-)


Well, I'm not so sure. Surely you must be aware of the stories of Villages 
in Spain and wherever receiving a bad batch of ergot-infected bread, and 
then going collectively wacky, with suicides and whatnot. Some people really 
aren't in a place where they can handle losing control and seeing through 
all of their most cherished beliefs like wet tissue paper. Palestinians 
locked in a daily struggle with life and death might not take too well to 
being "raptured" all of a sudden. (BTW, ever read "The Transmigration of 
Timothy Archer" by PK Dick?)

Obviously it wasn't LSD.


I'm finding out this is apparently true with many drugs. Most heroin 
"overdoses" (as I have been informed by someone who ran a detox ward) are 
actually reactions to crap mixed in with the Herion (or once in a great 
while a dealer giving a hated customer an unexpectedly pure dose). The 
toxicity of Herion isn't very high, particularly for someone who's been 
building up a tolerance for a few years. (Crack's a different 
storyreally bad for the heart.)

So the moral of this story is that illegalization of most drugs is what 
kills people!

Perhaps we have underestimated the wisdom of the CIA! (Or are they the ones 
who initially put crap in the drugs they smuggle?)

I can't imagine how they could ever do any sort of serious test, let alone a
"double blind test" -- the length of experience would be a dead giveaway.
Besides which anyone with any real experience would easily recognize the
essential flavor, if you will, of the particular psychedelic, and the quite
different and distictive voice of the Other. Or lack, thereof, for instance in
LSD. They are simply far too different -- on LSD, people are up, eyes open,
grooving on sights and sounds, talking to people, but on strong doses of
psilocybin and ayahuasca you'll most likely be snuggled under a warm quilt with
your eyes shut in a dark room. And preferably alone. Totally different
experiences -- the voice of the Other with psilocybin and ayahuasca are very,
very different from each other as well.
One might have some difficulty discerning a strong hit of Salvia vs. DMT,
but you certainly wouldn't confuse them with anything else, just because of
intensity and brevity. But even with those two, most experienced travelers would
say the entities one encounters in that other dimension are quite different,
indeed, that those dimensions themeselves are not the same.

This is a continuation of the mythology that extrapolates post-WWII US 
presence in Germany and Japan ("you know, those Americans really help the

And this matters how? Why would Bush, or for that matter the Europeans,
care about rebuilding (what?) in Iraq? Other than the minimum
investments required to prevent the population from rising up against
their future leaders, why should the U.S. concern itself with making
investments in Iraq not directly related to creating and maintaining oil
extraction and transport facilities?

I'm not arguing with this, but I think "pledging" is just symbolic
anyway.  We need to act free so that we are free.  It drives the control
freaks nuts, and that's more fun anyway :-)

For your attention

2003-02-12 Thread Robert
I NEED ASSISTANCE

 Dear Friend, In recent times over the radio in AMERICA or even in ASIA and even on CNN you must have heard about the current war in Ivory coast. My late father General Robert Guei once ruled my country as head of state, he was recently killed with my mother and his aide de camp by the rebels incursion in my country which has resulted in several deaths, loss of property and mass looting, rape , arson and all kinds of unimaginable things usually associated with this type of situation.

This may come to you as a surprise, well I have decided to contact you for help due to the deplorable condition I find myself presently, the way you handle what I am about to tell you will determine to a large extent what will become of me and my entire family and also it will be greatly rewarding to you as well. While my dad was alive and during his time as head of state I was his close confidant and a strong member of his kitchen cabinet, most people in my country did not know the role I played because my late father wanted it that way.

Before I proceed to tell you about what I need you to do, I would like you to visit the following web pages to confirm my story, http://allafrica.com/cotedivoire/bydate/?n=5, http://www.spacedaily.com/news/020928220906.vv3pmvu5.html, there are some many avenues you can check to verify these information.

My father told me while he was head of state that he prefers to keep his money in real estate overseas as he does not think he will last long, he came via a coup and always feels he will leave by a coup, he could feel always the insecurity around him. Before he was removed as head of state and uptil his death a few months ago, we have always had a lot of cash hidden in our family house, known to myself my late mum and dad. I do not have a precise figure of the amount he kept but I know it runs into millions of dollars, sometimes he gets visitors from france and around the world who come  to see him, and he usually gives unspecified amount of money for investing abroad, the money he kept are in various currencies, american dollars  and pounds sterling.

After his death and in that state of confusion I was able to move almost all the money in the house to a safe location, after which I telephoned a friend of his who was like a father to me, he handled most of this investments,  he immediately adviced that I should call the commercial attache to the ivorian embassy in ghana who was in ivory coast on vacation to arrange to move all the money via diplomatic means to ghana, the next day this was arranged and the boxes containing the money was moved to ghana, ofcourse I travelled with them to ghana, it was at ghana that we were able to count the money and found out that it was precisely $20.3 million dollars and 17 million pounds sterling, you know this is a lot of money. Through the ghanaian diplomatic service we were able to transfer this money to London, awaiting to be sent to a finance and securities company in Amsterdam. This has not been done yet.

I have been adviced that it will not be in my best interest to have the money in the finance company in my name, that it will be unsafe as I am being watched by the government of my country. I have personally ordered the movement of the money to a safe and secret location in london, pending when I find a trustworthy individual that will assist me in concluding this transaction, as soon as I hear from you and you are willing to assist me, we will both work out the best possible way to use this money to open an account in any bank of your choice in your name after which you will transfer to my bank account 75% 0f the total amount while you will keep 25%, I believe this sharing is very reasonable and fair.

Please contact me via email, if you are not interested in assisting me please keep what I have told you absolutely confidential, do not expose me, it could mean death for me, as for the transaction it is 100% risk free and safe.

Best Regards,
Robert Guei jr

It's that oath thing, it's pretty much always required the person making
the tape to swear it hasn't been tampered with and that they are the party
who created it. Otherwise it would generaly fall into hearsay. Than of
course it also depends on the particular states view of 1-party or 2-party
permission issues.

That's a very(!!!) dangerous approach.

Odds are the person hasn't read it at all. Check the archive for a
reference to a pre-print in arXiv (ie xyz.lanl.gov) about pre-prints and
how 80% of them are bogus in reference to claims of having read
references/cites.
