As unfair as it may seem, the difference between Chrysler and Toyota is
that Chrysler needs to prove that it can build quality cars. Toyota can
afford make a few small mistakes without hurting the image.
After all, door seal failing on a 6-year old Stanza is not comparable to
the same problem on a brand new Intreprid.

That's nothing. When a friend of mine went shopping for a small
sedan a few years ago, she brought me along as a token male so
the salespeople wouldn't give her the "bimbo" treatment.
Her first choice was a Mazda 323, and second choice was a Nissan
Sentra. We went to a Mazda dealership and described what "we"
wanted. We started negotiating on the price, and the salesdroid
kept playing the "let me run this price by the sales manager". After
playing the "good salesman, bad salesman" game, we finally told him
that if he didn't have the authority to negotiate a price, perhaps
we should be speaking directly to someone who did. He brought in
the sales manager who proceeded to dick us around with every trick
in the book. (Read Remar Sutton's "Don't Get Taken Every Time" for a
list.) Finally, after playing a few more rounds of "you'll have to
work with us on this price", also known as "each time you come up a
thousand dollars we'll come down ten", the salesmanager gave a signal to
his two sales cronies, stood up, and said "well, we can't come down any
more so I guess we can't help you" and they trouped out of the room,
leaving us sitting in the salesman's office all by ourselves. Hmm.
I'd read that sleazy salesmen sometimes bug their own offices so they
can leave and listen in on couples discussing the sales offer, and
I mentioned this aloud to my friend while we were sitting there wondering
why they would leave us in the office instead of showing us to the
door. For lack of anything better to do, I picked up the phone on
the desk and called another Mazda dealership, asked for a salesman,
and began discussing what kind of price they would consider. A few
sentences into the conversation, Mr. Salesmanager broke into the line
(!) and began telling me how rude he thought it was that I would call
another dealership from "his" phone! I said that since he'd announced
that our business was over, he shouldn't care, and every time I tried
to talk to the other sales guy the sales manager would drown out our
voices with his own. (How did he know that I was using the phone,
anyway?) Finally, I hung up and we headed out of the showroom.
Sales manager and cronies come out of a little unmarked room and he
begins to berate us again. We say that we won't bother him anymore,
we're going next door to the Nissan dealership.
Then comes the part I wish I could have videotaped. As we go out
the front door, the sales manager SHOUTS across the entire showroom,
customers and all, "Go ahead! You DESERVE to buy a Nissan!"
So my friend bought a Sentra.
Just so the guilty won't go unpunished, I'll mention that the
sales manager's name was Gary Tusone. From his manner, his
refusal to come down to a reasonable price, and his anger at the
end, my guess is that he had bet our original salesman (who was
a young novice) that he'd be able to get at least X dollars out of
us, and he was steamed that we wouldn't fall for his slimy tricks.

Are you sure you want to do that? If a win app locks up for some reason,
ctrl-alt-del may be the only way to kill the app and get back to Windows.
Granted it doesn't work all that often but it has come in handy on occasion.
I consider it pretty carefully before I disabled that keystroke. Just a

Last year my nine year old son fell in love with baseball and now
likes to play and to follow the professionals. I would like to buy
him a board game so he can catch a glimpse of and practise a little of
the managerial stragegy. I am not looking for a computer game or any
type of game where manual dexterity determines the winner. I am after
something that he and his friends can spread out over a table on a
rainy day and spend some thoughtful time over.
I would appreciate the names of any recommended games. I don't follow
this newsgroup, so e-mail responses would be ideal.

I haven't seen any speculation about it. But, the Salyut KB (Design Bureau)
was planning a new LH/LOX second stage for the Proton which would boost
payload to LEO from about 21000 to 31500 kg. (Geostationary goes from
2600 kg. (Gals launcher version) to 6000 kg.. This scheme was competing
with the Energia-M last year and I haven't heard which won, except now
I recently read that the Central Specialized KB was working on the
successor to the Soyuz booster which must be the Energia-M. So the early
results are Energia-M won, but this is a guess, nothing is very clear in
Russia. I'm sure if Salyut KB gets funds from someone they will continue
their development.
The Centaur for the Altas is about 3 meters dia. and the Proton
is 4 so that's a good fit for their existing upper stage, the Block-D
which sets inside a shround just under 4 meters dia. I don't know about
launch loads, etc.. but since the Centaur survives Titan launches which
are probably worse than the Proton (those Titan SRB's probably shake things
up pretty good) it seems feasible. EXCEPT, the Centaur is a very fragile
thing and may require integration on the pad which is not available now.
Protons are assembled and transported horizontially. Does anyone know
how much stress in the way of a payload a Centaur could support while
bolted to a Proton horizontally and then taken down the rail road track
and erected on the pad?
They would also need LOX and LH facilities added to the Proton pads
(unless the new Proton second stage is actually built), and of course
any Centaur support systems and facilities, no doubt imported from the
US at great cost. These systems may viloate US law so there are political
problems to solve in addition to the instabilities in the CIS you mention.

As a matter of fact, I know it.
There were several shootings recently in which the guns had
been purchased at the Baltimore Gunsmith, on Broadway - a favorite
place to get cheap "popular" pieces. By "popular" I am referring to
the kinds of guns our local youth gangs like: pistol grip shotguns,
cheap magnums, and Tec-9s.

My driveway and about half my neighbor's driveways are long enough to
do a good 80 clicks (50mph for the velocity impaired) if we wanted to.
Granted, I live in the country, however I've seen neighbors whip out
of their driveways at the above mentioned 30 mph quite a bit- they
claim they can tell that "There's noone on the road for quite a ways."
This despite having nearly been hit myself by one of them while driving
a Chev 4x4, and twice taking my 10-speed bicycle over the hood of a
car that had pulled out, saw me, *then* stopped. Same driver. Same car.
About two months apart.
ObMoto: The scary relevant part is that these people and I live on the type
of twisty two lane that we all favor for riding- and I know damn well
that they can't see me on my bike, not if they couldn't see me in
my pickup.

I finally got it back, with great thanks to Mark Spiegel for saving and sending
it.
#2 ROB ZETTLER Season: 4th
Acquired: '91-92, from Minnesota in dispersal draft
Grade: C/C-
Zettler gave the Sharks every bit he's got this year; unfortunately, this still
wasn't enough to make him any more than a marginal NHLer, if that. He works
hard, for sure, but is no better than average on defense, and is prone to
costly penalties and defensive lapses at times, while being basically an
offensive zero (0 goal and 7 assists in 79 games). He would be hardpressed
to make the team next year.
#3 DAVID WILLIAMS Season: 2nd
Acquired: '91-92, free agent from New Jersey
Grade: C/C-
IMO, Williams was the most valuable defenseman for the Sharks in '91-92,
playing a combination of good offense (3 goals and 25 assists in 56 games) and
good defense. But he, playing the first part of this season in Kansas City,
was good neither offensively nor defensively this year; it, then, appears that
'91-92 was a fluke. Although he improved towards the end of the season, he
was prone to being out of position defensively, and did not demonstrate the
playmaking skills that made him the team's leading scorer among defensemen last
year. He would also be hardpressed to make the team next year.
#4 JAYSON MORE Season: 2nd
Acquired: '91-92, from Montreal in expansion draft
Grade: B+
After being touted as the team's top defensive prospects in training camp
before '91-92, More had a rather disappointing '91-92, as he was not
particularly good defensively, and had just 17 points in 46 games. He, then,
proceeded to improve his game massively this season, becoming the team's most
reliable defenseman, whom the team can count on night in and night out to play
steady defense and providing occasional (but only occasional) offensive flash.
Offensively, he was even more disappointing than last year (11 points in 73
games), but his defense improved tremendously. He is probably best as the
defensive part of a defense combination with an offensive defenseman.
#5 NEIL WILKINSON Season: 4th
Acquired: '91-92, from Minnesota in dispersal draft
Grade: B-
Wilkinson was probably the team's top defensive defenseman in '91-92. However,
partially because of injuries, he was not the same this year, as he missed 25
games total due to nagging knee and back injuries, and seemed to be slowed
even when playing. He, then, had often to be saved by his defensive partners;
that is, if they are there at all. But he also had some solid games, and if
he can be complete healthy, he can still be a force.
#6 SANDIS OZOLINSH Season: 1st
Acquired: '91-92, 2nd round pick in entry draft
Grade: I (A)
At the time of his injury (December 30, against the Philadelphia Flyers),
Ozolinsh was well on track to be, IMO, the team's MVP. A serious knee injury
in that game, though, forced him to miss the rest of the season (47 games),
but he still finished as the team's top scorer among defensemen (23 points),
which, of course, tells more about the lack of offense the Sharks had from
their defensemen, but it also tells of Ozolinsh's abilities. At the time, he
was playing very good defense along with excellent offense; he was still
susceptible to so-called "rookie mistakes," but was probably the defenseman who
made the least of them on the team, rookie or veteran. If he can come back
from his injuries, he is ready to be a star.
#19 DOUG ZMOLEK Season: 1st
Acquired: '91-92, from Minnesota in dispersal draft
Grade: B
Zmolek had basically a solid and durable year, being one of the only two Sharks
to play in all 84 games of the season. He was solid on defense, but
after being billed as an offensive defenseman, he didn't show it (15 points).
He was also prone to penalties, and his 229 penalty minutes was second on the
team; however, that was also an indication that he was fearly when facing tough
physical opponents, and he was at his best when playing physically. But to
become a fixture in this league, he needs to improve both offensively and
defensively, and cut down on the number of power-plays he gives to opponents.

I saw this a few years ago on "Tomorrow's World" (low-brow BBC
technology news program). The patient is lowered into a bath of
de-ionized water and carefully positioned. High intensity pressure
waves are generated by an electric spark in the water (you don't get
electrocuted because de-ionised water does not conduct). These waves are
focused on the kidneys by a parabolic reflector and cause the stone to
break up. This is completely painless.
Of course, you then have to get these little bits of gravel through
the urethra. Ouch!

Because that would contradict your religious beliefs; therefore,
you feel more comfortable simply accusing his sincerity, so you will
not have to critically examine your religious beliefs.

A friend of mine is going in later this week for tests to see if has
emphysema. His lung capacity has decreased over time. His father died
of the disease. He works in woodworking. I believe he has a very
occasional cigarette, perhaps one cigarette a day or even less. He tells
me this..I've never seen him light up. He has some pretty healthy
life style habits, good diet, exercise, meditation, retreats, therapy
etc. Anyhow..he is very concerned with this check up. I know really
nothing about the disease. I believe it interferes with the lining
of the lung being able to exchange oxygen.
Is a diagnosis of emphysema a death sentence? If he were to give up smoking
entirely would that better his chances for recovery? What are some
modern therapies used in people with this disease? I would appreciate
any information. Thanks. amigan@cup.portal.com

Motorola certainly makes them, but I don't know how you

You could also bring in encryption chips from outside the country.

Hi!
We have an old Montage FR-1 35mm film recorder. When connected to a PC with
its processor card it can directly take HPGL, Targa and Lasergraphics Language
files. 24 bit Targa is quite OK for raster images, but conversion from
whatever one happens to have can be quite slow. This Lasergraphics Language
seems to be (got the source file for one test image) a vector-based language
that can handle one million colors. It does some polygons too, and perhaps
something else ?
The question is, where can I find some information about this language ?
A FTP site, a book, a company address,.... ?
(OK, it would be nice to have a Windows driver for it, but I'm not THAT
optimistic...)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Excuse me?
"We closed the roads and mountain passes that might serve as
ways of escape for the Tartars and then proceeded in the work
of extermination. Our troops surrounded village after village.
Little resistance was offered. Our artillery knocked the huts
into heaps of stone and dust and when the villages became untenable
and inhabitants fled from them into fields, bullets and bayonets
completed the work. Some of the Tartars escaped of course. They
found refuge in the mountains or succeeded in crossing the border
into Turkey. The rest were killed. And so it is that the whole
length of the borderland of Russian Armenia from Nakhitchevan to
Akhalkalaki from the hot plains of Ararat to the cold mountain
plateau of the North were dotted with mute mournful ruins of
Tartar villages. They are quiet now, those villages, except for
howling of wolves and jackals that visit them to paw over the
scattered bones of the dead."
Ohanus Appressian
"Men Are Like That"
p. 202.
A genocide is a deliberate and organized massacre of people in an
attempt to exterminate a race. This is the worst crime in history.
It happened to the Turks in eastern Anatolia and the Armenian
dictatorship. 2.5 million Turks and Kurds were killed in the worst
ways imaginable. It is sickening to think that the human race is capable
of such actions, but there is no denying the fact that the Armenian
genocide of 2.5 million Muslims happened.
People of Turkiye deeply sympathize with those whose relatives were
killed in the Turkish genocide. I understand their anger that there
are those who still deny that the Turkish genocide indeed took place,
despite the fact that the genocide of 2.5 million Turks has been
well documented over the past six decades. We cannot reverse
the events of the past, but we can and we must strive to keep the
memory of this tragedy alive on this side of the Atlantic, so as
to help prevent a recurrence of the extermination of a people
because of their religion or their race.

And the Germans were subject to Jewish Genocide? Are you for real?
Tell me 'Halsall', were you high on "ASALA/SDPA/ARF" forgeries and
fabrications when you wrote that? Where is your non-existent list
of scholars. Here is mine: During the First World War and the ensuing
years - 1914-1920, the Armenian Dictatorship through a premeditated
and systematic genocide, tried to complete its centuries-old policy
of annihilation against the Turks and Kurds by savagely murdering
2.5 million Muslims and deporting the rest from their 1,000 year
homeland.
The attempt at genocide is justly regarded as the first instance
of Genocide in the 20th Century acted upon an entire people.

in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries,' Klaus Schwarz Werlag,
Freiburg (1980).
page 19:
<<During the fifteenth century, when the Ottomans were struggling to
reestablish themselves in the Balkans, there was considerable turmoil
among the Jewish communities in Central and Western Europe. Even if
the difficulties of the darker centuries immediately preceding the
fourteenth are minimized, it is easy to understand the attraction which
Ottoman life, particularly when compared to life in Europe, held for the
Jews. There is no way to tell how many Jews left Christendom for the
realm of the rising Muslim Ottomans, but with each account of persecution
in or expulsion from Christian countries it is recorded that some Jews
fled to Ottoman territory. The regularity of these reports suggests that
the Ottomans were considered reasonably tolerant protectors and that
there was a regular trickle of Jewish families moving southward and
eastward from Western and Central Europe. (...) It is evident that the
effects of plague, late crusades, and the general intolerance and
persecution of Jews in Christian Europe resulted in the redirection
of the whole focus of Jewish life which, for more than two centuries,
was to be oriented toward Muslim East.>>
page 21:
<<In the second quarter of the fifteenth century the foremost official
in the Edirne Jewish community was Rabbi Yitzhak Sarfati the Ashkenazi
Chief Rabbi of the city. He was the most important rabbi in the city and
the author of an important letter which tells us something of the situation
of the Edirne Jewry in the fifteenth century. Sarfati himself was from
Christian Europe and supposedly wrote this letter at the behest of two
recent arrivals from there, who, upon seeing the prosperity and freedom
of the Ottoman Jews, prevailed upon him to write their European
coreligionists apprising them of the situation and urging them to migrate.
This remarkable letter advised its recipients not only of the pleasant
conditions in the Ottoman domains, but described as well the ease of
travel to Palestine and the holy places, an attraction to those who
would make a pilgrimage or choose to be buried there.>> (*)
page 41:
<<...the impression gained from the Hebrew sources is that the Jews were
firmly aware of the community of interests which existed between them
and the Ottomans, especially in comparison to relations with the Christians
of Europe.
Confirmation of the commonality of interests between Muslims and Jews is
also indicated by the fact that European Christians perceived the Jews
as allies of Islam and were well aware of Muslim-Jewish cooperation.
Certainly the activity of important Jewish financiers and politicians
representing the Ottoman government abroad did not pass unnoticed. European
sources are the basis for much of our knowledge of their careers. In addition
it appears that Christian pirates plundered ''Turks and Jews,'' their
sworn enemies, and that Europeans considered the Jews to be agents who
regularly reported to the Ottomans.
There are well-known examples of overt Jewish support for the Ottomans
in the struggle against European powers. The two best known instances
of Jewish support for the campaigning Ottomans are the frequently cited
instances of the Jewish contributions to the conquests of Buda, in the
early sixteenth century, and of Rhodes. We also have reports of sympathy
for the Ottomans during the siege of Chios. An unpublished Ottoman
document shows dramatically the mutual interests which existed in some
Greek towns...>>
page 43:
<<It is clear that throughout the sixteenth century it was a generally
accepted fact that the interests of Jews and Muslims coincided frequently,
and all parties involved, Jews, Muslims, and Christians, were aware of
the situation.>>
page 46:
<<...it seems that the relations between Greeks and Jews were not
particularly cordial. The two groups had little in common, few common
interests, and perceived no common philosophical or religious tradition
which could serve as the basis for cooperation, rather than enmity. If
there was any identifiable bond of good will which existed between
religious communities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it was
that between Muslims and Jews, neither of whom had much in common with
the Orthodox.>>
page 46:
<<The general impression of Muslim-Jewish relations in the Ottoman context
during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is one of community of
interests. From the earliest times the Ottomans seem to have welcomed
Jews to their territory and to have found in the communities already
existing in places which they conquered a cooperative element. The Jewish
response to this tolerance was a steady flow of Jews from Christian
countries to Ottoman domains.>>
page 151:
<<From the period before 1453 we have only a few indications that the
Ottoman-Jewish relationship was well on the course of amity which would
characterize it for years afterward, but the liberality of the Ottomans,
in contrast to the intolerance of the Byzantines, and the protection and
the security which the Ottomans offered, in comparison to conditions
elsewhere, leave little doupt that even then both the Ottomans and the
Jews recognized their mutual interests...>>
page 161:
<<It is impossible to say how fundamental the Jews were in the success
of the Ottomans in rebuilding Istanbul or in Ottoman mercantile success
in the sixteenth century. That they played an important role in both
cannot be doupted. It is also unclear whether they were important enough
to say that the Ottomans would not have experienced their great success
without the Jews and that no other group could have been found to serve
the Ottomans as well as did the Jews. It is, however, unmistakably clear
that there are few parallels in world history to this remarkable
partnership between Jews and the non-Jewish society in which they lived.
We must conclude that the Ottomans could probably not achieved their
success without a group performing certain tasks for them as well as the
Jews did. Certainly for the Jews of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
the Ottoman Empire was a most remarkable and salubrious home.>>
(*) A version of Rabbi Sarfati's [Tzarfati] letter is given by Prof.Shaw:
page 32:
<<Your cries and sobs reached us. We have been told of all the troubles
and persecutions which you have to suffer in the German lands....I hear
the lamentation of my brethren...The barbarous and cruel nation ruthlessly
oppresses the faithful children of the chosen people...The priests and
prelates of Rome have risen. They wish to root out the memory of Jacob
and erase the name of Israel. They always devise new persecutions. They
wish to bring you to the stake...Listen my brethren, to the counsel I will
give you. I too was born in Germany and studied Torah with the German
rabbis. I was driven out of my native country and came to the Turkish land,
which is blessed by God and filled with all good things. Here I found rest
and happiness; Turkey can also become for you the land of peace...If you
who live in Germany knew even a tenth of what God has blessed us with
in this land, you would not consider any difficulties; you would set out
to come to us...Here in the land of the Turks we have nothing to complain
of. We possess great fortunes; much gold and silver in our hands. We are
not oppressed with heavy taxes, and our commerce is free and unhindered.
Rich are the fruits of the earth. Everything is cheap, and every one of us
lives in peace and freedom. Here the Jew is not compelled to wear a yellow
hat as a badge of shame, as is the case in Germany, where even wealth and
great fortune are a curse for a Jew because he therewith arouses jealousy
among the Christians and they devise all kinds of slander against him
to rob him of his gold. Arise my brethren, gird up your loins, collect
your forces, and come to us. Here you will be free of your enemies, here
you will find rest...>>[13]

There are two issues here: copyright and patent.
The magazine article's contents are copyrighted, and may not be reproduced,
translated, etc., without the copyright holder's permission. However, this
does not cover the *ideas* expressed, only the form of expression. Copying
their circuit diagram or PC-board pattern is copyright infringement. But
it's unlikely that they could stretch copyright far enough to claim that
the circuit design itself is copyrighted. So long as you draw your own
diagrams and lay out your own boards, copyright shouldn't be an issue.
Patents are different. The author does *not* have to give you any warning
that the design is covered by patent (although it would be sensible for
him to do so). In fact, it's possible that *he* was infringing on someone
else's patent without realizing it. Ignorance of the patented status is
not a defence against infringement, although it might reduce the damages
a court would award.
However... unless there was something seriously novel about the circuit,
almost certainly it is "obvious to one skilled in the art" and therefore
unpatentable. Routine engineering is not patentable; patents (in theory)
cover only inventions, ideas that are genuinely new.
Caution: I am not a lawyer. Consulting a professional would be wise if
significant amounts of money are at stake.

As it should be. They have a homicide rate that is a couple of orders
of magnitude lower then this country's (as does almost everyone else
in the world). But I suppose that it's too unreasonable to suppose
that a lower availability of handguns has anything to do with that fact.

Right. Remember those riots a while back? Remember what they were

There were an assortment of firmware problems, but that is pretty much
expected with any FAX/modem talking with a different FAX or modem
which may have also been revised or is new. I'm pretty much
oblivious to any current firmware problems, so you'll have to get it
from someone else.
However, I can tell you to stay clear of any board which uses the
Rockwell MPU (as opposed to the DPU) for an internal implementation.
This is because the MPU used "speed buffering" instead of having a
16550 interface. Without the 550 interface, the number of interrupts
are still the same and thus may get dropped under multitasking
conditions (like in windows). As far as I know, the "speed buffering"
works OK for external modems if a 550 is used on the internal serial
port board.
Hope this helps...

---------------------------
The federal government has used such laws to allow mutliple charges in
order to prevent more crimes than would nromally occur just from two people
being pissed off at each other. The federal government has an interest in
the intent of the perpetrators in the pursuit of preventing violations of
civil rights. It's the way they broke the back of the Klan, by putting a
lot of people away for a very long time for harrassing blacks specifically.
It is a principle that has been well recognized as constitutionally valid
since over 100 years ago. It has been used whenever a select group was
getting bashed or harrassed more than any other person would just for being
part of a minority. It is the only way we made the defeat of the south
stick after the Civil War. People who harrassed free blacks, when normally
they wouldn't find themselves harrassing just anyone walking around were
expeditiously tried and jailed for 5 to 8 years until nobody wanted to try
it anymore. Now with the 14th amendment guarantee of equal protection under
the law, the law can use multiple crime and severe penalty involving intent
as much as is needed to protect even one human that is a hated minority to
somebody. They can call out the national guard just for them, as they did
the school girls in Alabama during desegregation in the 1950's, and the
president can nationalize the state militia and turn the guns of the
militia that were being used to bar blacks right around to point at the
thousands in the crowd with an order to shoot that they would have to obey
or face possible death by firing squad under the Uniform Code of Military
Justice for failing to obey a direct order while under arms! And by god,
they did! Those southern boys turned right around an fixed bayonets! And
the governor was left standing and was arrested by the federal marshalls
that had brought the order to nationalize the guard. And that's why we need
such an ability in federal jurisdiction.

As I promised, I would give you the name of the Panther's president.
After Huizenga announced the team name, he announced that Bill
Torrey is named the first president of the Panthers.
A little Bio from _Sun-Sentinel_
Torrey, the architect of four consecutive Stanley Cup champions as
persident and general manager of the New York Islanders.
Throughout his 27 years in the NHL, Bill Torrey's bow ties have become
as much of a signature as Andre Agassi's hair.
The Panthers will introduce a uniform, insignia, and ticket-price
information in early next month. In the meantime, Huizenga leaves the
day-to-day operation in the hands of Torrey and Bob Clarke, the VP and
GM.
The Florida Panthers was chosen as the name of South Florida's NHL team
to focus attention on an endangered species. There are 30 to 50 Florida
Panthers in the Everglades National Park, the Big Cypress National
Preserve and other parts of southwestern Florida.
"The Panther is the quickest-striking of all cats," Torrey said.
"Hopefully that's the way we'll play on ice."
More BIO:
In Torrey, Huizenga has the first man hired by the expansion Islanders
in 1972 and the one most responsible for guiding the Islanders to four
consecutive Stanley Cup championships (their first after only eight
seasons) and 14 consecutive winning seasons. As executive vice president
of the California Golden Seals, Torrey watched the Seals go to the play-
offs in 1968, only their second NHL season.
"I guess this completes my own personal hat trick", said Torrey, 58, a
native of Montreal but a resident of Bear Lakes Country Club in Palm
Beach.

G'day people,
Are there any MR2 owners or motor-head gurus out there, that know why
my MR2's engine sounds noisy? The MR2's engine is noisy at the best of times,
but not even a nice nose - it's one of those very ugly noises.
I do an oil change every 2-3 months, and for about 2 months the engine
noise sounds relatively quiet during driving and idling. At around the 3 month
mark, after an oil change (I've been tracking this very thoroughly for months
now) it starts to get that very disgusting noise, not so much during driving,
but more so during idling.
What's its problem?
Also.. I don't know if it's just me, but if noticed a little
performance drop. It just hasn't got the acceleration it used to.
Any help/tips would be appreciated!!
Worried.

I was upset at people dissing winfield. Henderson is the better player.
WINFIELD can come close though. Lets see what rickey does for the rest of

If "ownership" were rightly based on "worthiness" there wouldn't be any owners.
What is your point?
As I understand it, Israel's "claim" on Jerusalem is based on 1) possession,
and 2) the absolutely CENTRAL (not second, not third) role it plays in jewish
identity.

The mother church of Jerusalem disappeared when the Romans took the city.
Despite some pious legends, the evidence seems to be that the members of
the church died fighting the Romans during what they believed to be the
last days. We know that certain Apostles had nicknames connecting them to
Jewish terrorist groups. For the average inhabitant of the Roman Empire
(especially after centuries of political instability and terror), the
Roman policies in Palestine were heartily approved of. When studied with a
knowledge of cult psychology, Acts is eerily familiar, especially today.

| 18talk.politics.misc |
Hi,
I am looking an integrated circuits for my Z80-based
computer.
The circuit is called Z80-STI (Serial Timer Interrupt),
MK3801, and
made by Mostek. Mostek is called SGS Thompson today.
I have been in contact with SGS Thompson, unfortunately
they me told that Z80-STI is obsolete.
So, my question is if anyone know if I can get hold of that
circuits. Are there any companies that specialize in selling
circuits that are no longer in production? I have contacted
several electronic brokers in
Sweden, but without any success. I would appreciate if you
could give me hint where I should continue looking. Even
companies in the United States would be fine, since this
circuit is pretty crucial to me.
Thanks in advance.

"Deeply rooted rivalry?" Ahem, Jokerit have been around since 1967 and joined
the top flight only in the early '70s. Helsingfors IFK have been around since
1897 but fans only started taking hockey seriously in the 1960s so I think
you're exagerating here.

That's a rather bold claim, in the light of how successful the Canadian &
American Olympic teams have been . . . and they've had to play according to our
set of rules and on international ice. The 1992 Olympic teams contained about
as much talent as your average expansion team. Canada had Eric Lindros, Sean
Burke, Joe Juneau and Chris Kontos. Another four or five have been deep subs in
the NHL. As for the Yanks, Keith Tkachuk, Scott Lachance, Bret Hedican, Shawn
McEachern, Steve Heintze, Ted Donato, Joe Sacco and Bill Guerin have been
3rd/4th line players in the NHL, while Robb Stauber has done well for the
Kings in goal. Nothing more. In fact, I'm sure that an All-Star team assembled
from the best Finnish League teams would do no better in the NHL than Hartford
or Tampa Bay currently are doing.
---
But what happens if _all_ top-class Finnish & Swedish players gradually end up
with Helsinki & Stockholm as the North American-based ones gradually retire and
no Canadian/American team is allowed to draft new players from Scandinavia?
Here is what THE HOCKEY NEWS scouts think of our NHL-based players:
(28-30=superstar)
(23-27=star)
(18-22=NHL regular+)
(13-17=NHL regular)
( 8-12=role player)
FINLAND:
D-Jyrki Lumme.......20
D-Teppo Numminen....20
D-Peter Ahola.......13
C-Jari Kurri........25
C-Christian Ruuttu..16
R-Teemu Selanne.....27
L-Esa Tikkanen......20
(Obviously, Selanne's ratings would be higher today than they were in January)
SWEDEN:
D-Ulf Samuelsson....21
D-Fredrik Olausson..20
D-Niklas Lidstrom...18
D-Calle Johansson...18
D-Kjell Samuelsson..17
D-Tommy Sjodin......13
D-Tommy Albelin......7
C-Mats Sundin.......26
C-Thomas Steen......18
R-Thomas Sandstrom..22
R-Ulf Dahlen........18
R-Michael Nylander..13
L-Per-Erik Eklund...18
L-Johan Garpenlov...16
L-Mikael Andersson..15
L-Jan Erixon........14
This would be interesting. Clearly, Finland's top five players (Winnipeg's
Selanne & Numminen, Vancouver's Lumme, Los Angeles' Jari Kurri and New York's
Tikkanen) are right up there with any five-man unit Pittsburgh & co. have. But
I have my doubts about the home-based Finnish players - the national team did
well in the Canada Cup and World Championships largely due to the efforts of
Markus Ketterer (the goalie), 3-4 or the players listed above and luck. There's
presumably a lot of decent players in Finland that wouldn't be superstars at
the highest level but still valuable role players, however. My guess would be
that the Finnish Canada Cup team would be a .500 team in the NHL.
---
Sweden is easier to judge because they have more players in North America.
Their points total (16 players) is 274 - seven more than Ottawa's 22 top
players combined! If we estimate there are six more NHL regulars back home in
Sweden, an all-Swedish team would assemble about 350-360 skill points.
Deducting some points from Pittsburgh, NY Rangers and other teams that rely on
Swedish players, the Swedish team would finish in sixth place - about as high
as Boston, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal on paper! So, the "dynasty" talk
isn't completely unfounded here. An all-Finnish/all-Swedish team might have an
advantage because the players would be playing at home half of the time,
won't have to adapt to a foreign country and a foreign language, and presumably
play the wide-open European variant of hockey rather than have to learn the
North American checking game. However, if free agency becomes a factor the top
Scandinavian players still might end up playing for large-market teams after a
couple of years the same way Edmonton's "dynasty" crumbled in the late '80s.
Some fringe players likely will be drafted by other NHL teams as having an
exclusive talent pool might be a bit unfair after all. I'd settle for a
compromise, prohibit all European teams from signing a North American during
the first two rounds but allow them to keep their top two players. After this,
the amateur draft should be open to anyone.

I am sure some bashers of Pens fans are pretty confused about the lack
of any kind of posts about the recent Pens massacre of the Devils. Actually,
I am bit puzzled too and a bit relieved. However, I am going to put an end
to non-PIttsburghers' relief with a bit of praise for the Pens. Man, they
are killing those Devils worse than I thought. Jagr just showed you why
he is much better than his regular season stats. He is also a lot
fo fun to watch in the playoffs. Bowman should let JAgr have a lot of
fun in the next couple of games since the Pens are going to beat the pulp out of Jersey anyway. I was very disappointed not to see the Islanders lose the final
regular season game. PENS RULE!!!

Why can't an aircraft be designed so that the pilot can always be

some of the flight parameters and with a keyboard and manuvering

accelerations in excess of 12G. Is anyone currently pursuing this
area or is there a reason why this is impossible at the present time?

The same Bill James? Why do you say that? It sounds like you're suggesting
Bill James had something to do with overhyping the kid to death. Au contraire;
he was fairly critical of him after his ROY campaign, noting that he wasn't
all-world as a catcher or a hitter. He called him basically average when
everyone *else* in the media was predicting the next Johnny Bench or Roy
Campanella.

I like Hernandez a lot, but if Piazza can catch the ball, you've gotta play
him IMHO. He's a much better hitter, although Hernandez isn't a *bad* hitter.
Right now, it sounds like Piazza will catch most of the time and Hernandez
will be Candiotti's caddy since he can catch the knuckler. As long as they
play up to their abilities, the Dodgers could have a very good catching
tandem.

I think both are overrated defensively (see Nichols' Law of catcher
defense), but that's something that's difficult to prove or disprove from
your viewpoint or mine. About the only tangible thing we can look at is
opponent's SB%, and that's clouded by how well your pitchers hold runners.
Catchers ERA is a possibility, but it's subject to way too many biases.
As for them 'playing on a team that is not so much in need of another big
bat', I disagree here too. About the only chink in the Braves' armor is that
they're weak offensively at several positions (CF, C, 2B, SS if Belliard
plays, 1B unless Bream and Hunter form another super-platoon) and very weak
defensively if Blauser plays. I'd like to see the Braves give at least one of
Mel Nieves, Javy Lopez or Chipper Jones a shot, but much like the talent-rich
Jays of recent years they'll be conservative and stick with what they have.
I'm not saying that's wrong, just conservative.

This is not a trend. The Caps were done. Goneso in five games, and it saves
us Caps fans a lot of pain.
I mean, it would be more painful if the Caps were up 3-1, watching them
tumbled when they need ONE MORE WIN to clinch the series. How many times
have they done that in their history?
1985 up 2-0 in a five game series against the Isles, lost 3 straight
1987 up 3-1 against the Isles, lost 3 straight
1992 up 3-1 against the Pens, lost 3 straight
In other words, when they were about to clinch with 3 games to go, they
were a pitiful 2-9, the lone wins being
1) a sweep of Philly in 1984
2) the 1990 win against the Rangers in the Patrick finals, the ONLY TIME
they managed to get out of the division.
Actually, Saturday's blown lead wasn't anything new. We all know the Caps
are famous lead blowers in crucial playoff games. Examples:
1) game 4 against the Isles, 1985, led 4-2 after two, lead series 2-1,
gave up 4 goals in the 3rd period, including the game winning goal in the
last minute. After that goal, Bobby Carpenter botched a penalty shot.
Series tied 2-2, lost game 5 a few days later.
2) game 4 against the Rangers, 1986, led series 2-1, led by 2 in the 3rd
period, blew it. Lost game in OT and three consecutive games.
3) game 6 against Pittsurgh, 1992, led series 3-2, led by 2 in 2nd period.
Blew it and the series.
4) game 3 against Isles, 1993, series tied 1-1, led by 2 after 2. Blew it.
5) game 4 against Isles, 1993, trailed series 2-1, led by 3 in 2nd period.
Blew it again.
When they were leading by 3 in game 4, I said to myself: "if they blew this
lead, the series is OVER". They have lost all the momemtum. The Islanders
believe they can come back no matter what the score is.
I am still waiting for a Cap goalie who can carry the team, who can
completely shut down the opposition when they are hanging on their dear
lives in a crucial game.
>The Admiral, a hopeless Caps fan.
>P.S. We still remember that 3 OT loss to the Islanders! Aurggghhhhhhhhh!
Well, some teams such have it and some teams just don't. When the Caps
were frustrated year in year out by the Islanders, I was thinking "wait
until Potvin/Bossy/Trottier/Smith retire". Well, they retired (even though
Trottier was still able to haunt the Caps on a Pens uniform), yet another
generation of Islanders were still doing the same thing. Well, I guess
it has nothing to do with the players.

Didn't Paul write that if the Resurrection is not true, we are the
biggest fools of all? However, whether you believe in Christ or not,
His teachings (e.g. love your brotherman as yourself), even if only
followed at a secular level, could do a great deal to alleviate some of
the problems we see today in the world. Even when I was a rabid atheist
I couldn't deny that.

Good point, Kirk.
He's still around too. He's responded by email to a couple of my posts,
and gosh darn, he's gotten down right civil! This happed about the time
he got his first firearm. Wonder if there is a relationship here? Turns
out that MOST people (at least the ones who are not criminals to start
with) act responsibility once given the chance.

Isn't is funny how someone who seems to know nothing about homosexuality
uses a very flawed (IMHO) source of information to pass jusgement on all
homosexual and bisexual men. It would seem more logical to say that since
the heterosexual group of men is larger then the chances of promiscuity
larger as well. In my opinion, orientation has nothing to do with it.
Men are men and they all like sex. I am a gay male. I have had sex three
times in my life, all with the same man. Before that, I was a virgin.
So... whose promiscuous?
Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they have no morals. Just because
someone is heterosexual doesn't mean they do. Look at the world....
Statistics alone prove that most criminals are by default hetero...
Look closely at the person, not the group.
All flames will be ignored. :)

Good question. It's my impression, not backed by evidence, that general

I was talking about.
Back in the 20's there were some attempts to hire black Cuban ballplayers;

Well, what *did* I mean to say? Aside from some short-lived exceptions
such as Japanese internment in WW II, only blacks were affected by laws
regarding: slavery, Jim Crow, miscegenation, military service, etc. If
my claim of exclusivity is not 100% airtight, that is, if you can come
up with this or that exception, fine -- have a cookie. But compared to
this list, no other racial group put up with a legal onslaught worth
discussing at length.

I have to agree with you... the police may have carried it a bit too far
but Rodney King was no angel either. And I don't think ANY guilty
verdicts should have been returned. I'm sure you know why they handed
down guilty verdicts on two of the officers. It's quite simple really,
it was a compromise to avoid rioting in the places where minorities
think it's right to riot. I hate to say this, but I would have liked to
see them riot with everyone prepared. It would be open season if your
skin was even slightly brown.
Hey, my motto is, you don't fuck with me or my stuff and you don't get
killed. It's just that simple.

For those who didn't figure it out, the below message was a reply to another
in sci.crypt, for which the poster put t.p.g. in the Followup-To line. I
didn't notice that. Apologies to those who were confused.
The substance makes little sense unless one reads the prior messages.
However, I don't wish to enter into this discussion here, as it will be yet
another rehearsal of a long-tired set of arguments. Suffice it to say that I
disagree both with the interpretation of "well-regulated" in the Second
Amendment offered by gun lovers, and what I think to be their distortion of
the same phrase in the associated Federalist papers. My Webster and my
reading of the language convinces me that the word meant both under control,
and disciplined, and not 'of good marksmanship'. I think the latter a
special interest pleading. No one has yet shown a contemporateous reference
in which "well regulated" unambiguously meant 'of good marksmanship', and
not under control/disciplined, etc.
Thus I continue to believe the Second Amendment is a militia clause and not
an 'arming everyone' clause. Others are welcome to disagree (as I know many
do) and little would be served by rehashing this topic in this particular
forum.
To avoid flames, or unproductive rehashings, I note that I've come in here
to post this one message, just to clarify the one below. I'm now outta here
again though I'm available via e-mail.

I need help binding some value to the HOME and END keys on my keyboard. I have an
rs/6000 w/ aix3.2.3ext running X11R5pl19 mit dist. I'm using a PC running eXceed
for windows as my xterminal. The HOME and END keys do not send a value, and my
application needs them to be defined. I used this in my Xdefaults to define the
keys:
varnet*VT100.Translations: #override \
<Key>Home: string("\033[8~") \n\
<Key>End: string("\033[7~")
Then I xterm -name varnet. This works perfect, however the 7 and the 1 key on my
keypad are also defined as \033[8~ and \033[7~.
Any ideas? Help please.

No rumour, IBM's clock tripling chip was seen in some trade show last
fall (COMDEX or something, I wasn't there). All you people who are
drooling after this chip do realize that it has no FPU, just like
486SX, that Evil Marketing Ploy(tm) from Intel, don't you? It has 16K
of internal cache, which probably is where the saved silicon real
estate went. Because of some contract, IBM is not allowed to sell its
486 chips to third parties, so these chips are unlikely to become
available in any non-IBM machines. Of course, nothing prevents other
companies from implementing a DX3/99, but nobody hasn't even come out
with a real 486DX (FPU and all) clone yet (although AMD soon will).

Sabo is clearly a better hitter than Samuel. Yet you would pinch-hit
Samuel because you predict that Samuel will be a clutch hitter and
Sabo will be a choke hitter. Right? I'd call that "predicting the
future".

Right. I would have used aspects of prior performance which have been
shown to be consistent in the past. Overall performance, L/R splits,
even matching hitting/pitching styles. All of these will give me some
advantage if used properly.
EVEN IF ALL ELSE WERE EQUAL, there would be no advantage gained by
looking at past clutch performance. And in this case, everything else
pointed to Sabo.
>One more time. I did *not* claim to be able to predict the future.

That comes down to the same thing. When Perez left Sabo in, he
was predicting the future, the next AB. He was predicting that
Sabo was more likely to get a hit than Samuel.
By supporting the swap, you are predicting the opposite.

Well, yes. You are aware of its existance. You claim to be incapable
of understanding it (though I suspect you are simply unwilling). Yet
you rather forcefully state the opposite. You don't seem to think the
work is worth reading (yet you obviously feel the topic is important).
I'd say this is insulting.

RIGHT! This is the beef. It has not proven to be an indicator of
future performance under *any* circumstances. At least none that
we've been able to come up with. If you know of some where it *is* an
indicator of future performance, please let us in on your secret.
>It is nice, however, to see that you will consider the possibility
>that you actually could have some preconceived biases.
Most certainly. As I have repeatedly stated, if you can come up with
a study which even *hints* at a consistent clutch ability, I would
love it! However the straightforward attempts at such a study have
all failed miserably.

Well, it was a stupid argument. (Are you honestly debating that???)
Sure, we know Sabo didn't get a hit. We have no idea whether Samuel
would have done any better or not. One AB most certainly doesn't
prove anything!

Is this simply a prediction for Chris Sabo for this year? Or is this
a prediction for *all* batters who have, over the past few years, hit
(xxx amount?) worse in the clutch than overall?
If you mean the first, then as you say, we'll just have to wait and
see. But the second is a much stronger statement. In fact, it
suggests a rule. We can then test this rule on past data to see if it
worked for recent years. I think you will agree that if the rule
didn't work last year or the year before, that it is unlikely to do
any better this year. Right?

I'm not going to get into case analysis. Sure, you can find somebody
who hit poorly from '89-'91 and then hit poorly in '92 as well. You
can also find those who hit poorly from '89-'91 and then hit *well* in
'92.

Gambler's fallacy. Unless there is reason to expect consistency, a
run proves nothing. Can you give us a reason to expect clutch BA to
correlate from one year to the next? I've seen a detailed study of
why I *shouldn't* expect it to correlate.
>"Stupid". "Total idiot".

>My, my. Such hostility.
The "stupid" was in reference to a statement which *was* stupid. (And
I don't see how you can deny it.) As for "total idiot"? Yes. If you
prove yourself unwilling to even *consider* evidence that might
suggest that you are wrong, I would say the term fits nicely.
So tell me? Does the term fit? Or do you have an open mind?

2 simple reasons:
(1) Batting Williams ahead of Bonds will create a Left(Clark),
Right(Williams), Left(Bonds) situation in the middle of the
batting order. This makes it tougher for opposing manager
to change pitchers.
(2) Having Bonds batting behind Williams means that Matt will get
more good pitches to hit. This is important since he struggles
so much with breaking balls. Opposing pitchers don't want to
walk Williams to get to Bonds.

How does one falsify God's existance? This, again, is a belief, not a scien-
tific premise. The original thread referred specifically to "scientific
creationism". This means whatever theory or theories you propose must be
able to be judged by the scientific method. This is in contrast to
purely philosophical arguments.

Aspartame is the methyl ester of a dipeptide, so a product of its
hydrolysis is going to be methanol, which can then be oxidized to
formaldehyde. The amounts of methanol formed from the ingestion of
aspartame-containing foods are completely in the metabolic noise,
since you're forming equally minute amounts of methanol from other
components of food all the time. In studies involving administration
of high doses of the additive, blood methanol levels were undetectable.
Methanol is a poison only in quantities seen in human poisonings,
say 5ml and above. This is a consequence of its oxidation to formaldehyde
and formic acid, two quite reactive compounds which at high enough levels
can damage tissues like the retina and kidney, because at such high doses
the body's detoxification system is overwhelmed. Interestingly, one
treatment for early methanol poisoning is to get the person drunk on
ethyl alcohol--vodka or an equivalent. That's because ethanol is
metabolized preferentially over methanol by the enzymes in the liver.

grady@netcom.com suggests using a common but restricted-distribution private
key to allow public key system encrypted postings. In theory that will work
fine as long as the privae key remains secure.
In practice it would be a good idea to check to see if that would be a
violation of some net rule, practice, custom, etc. I don't say it would be,
just that it would be a good idea to check. This is not like rot13 where
everybody can have the key trivially.
It would also be a good idea to check to see if such posts would be
forwarded by the sites needed to make the chain work.
Of course there'd be no problem with a discussion group travelling over
facilities entirely under the control of the members. Probably there would
also be no problem with a mailing list approach. It might even be fun for
some.

In pure speculation, I would guess cautions based on hazardous

| 16talk.politics.guns |
I feel compelled to complain: the statement that recent observations
rule out merging neutron stars as sources of gamma-ray bursts is
utterly false, even though it is popular enough to make it to
BATSE press releases.
The idea behind the statement is as follows:
"if you smack two neutron
stars together, or have a neutron star be gobbled up by a black hole,
a lot of energy is released, enough for a gamma-ray burst at a
cosmological distance. But, so the reasoning continues, this energy
is released below a lot of matter, so the radiation becomes
thermalized and you expect to see roughly a blackbody spectrum.
The observed spectra are strongly non-thermal, so this model must
be wrong."
As so often, the fault lies with the imagination of the person who
was trying to prove the model wrong rather than with the model. It
may be that the initial energy release is not seen as a gamma-ray
burst, but the 'fireball' of energy and matter that is created
may spew out a relativistic flow. When this slams into the surrounding
medium, a strong flux of non-thermal gamma rays results, which may
carry off a substantial fraction of the initial total energy. All
this is not my idea: it is in a series of papers by Martin Rees,
Peter Meszaros (sorry for the missing accents:-) and co-workers.
It is certainly not a complete model, but it may well be the best one
around (summing over all proposed distance scales). An alternative
proposal for what creates the initial fireball, by the way, is the
so-called 'failed supernovae' scenario by Stan Woosley, in which
a very massive star at the end of its life collapses to a black
hole. If the stellar core was rotating, part of the infalling matter
will be temporarily halted because it is supported by centrifugal
force, and form a very dense neutron torus that accretes onto the
black hole. This beast may spew out a jet along the rotation axis,
which again constitutes relativistic flow. The rate of such
events may be much higher than that of neutron star mergers,
but the flux may be more strongly beamed, so that the net rate
of bursts observed on Earth stays the same between the two
scenarios, but the energy released per event can be a lot less
in the failed supernova scenario.
On another note: I do believe that the distance scale must
ultimately be resolved via some classical astronomical method
such as finding counterparts to the bursts at other wavelengths,
or finding a definitive signature of some known class of
objects in the distribution of positions and fluxes. Theorists
have historically not been too successfull in finding the
distance of any object by proving that there is only one
possible way in which the object can work, and therefore
it *must* be so-and-so.

And what is "better?" Better is a subjective value judgement.
I tell you a lie, and as a result you give me all your millions of dollars
of assets and move to India. From my perspective, falsehood was a
substantially "better" than telling the truth. (How do you think a
log of gurus make a living?)
I attack your country in war, kill everyone and take your rich
natural resources. Before I did this, I was living in poverty.
Looks to me like war was much "better" than peace.
I see no need to go any further. Once you address this little issue
of "betterness" being non-relativistic we can continue.

I shipped my K75S from Portland Oregon to Daytona for this years
bike week (I rode it back!). The company I used is The Federal Co's.
You can reach them at 1-800-747-4100 ex 214. You either have to be
a AMA member, or maybe it is just a discount for AMA, not sure.
(Call 1-800-AMA-JOIN to become an AMA member)
The shipping cost is based on the number of miles. It cost me about $500
for Portland to Orlando. $80 of that was insurance. All I had to do is
ride it to the shipping dock and siphon the gas out. I think they can
also pick up the bike from any business. The bike arrived on-time at
Orlando. All I had to do was adjust the mirrors and add gas. The bike
was in perfect shape!

Mox nix. The BD's were prepared to provide their own heat and light,

compound contained containers of flammable liquids or gases (that could
be busted by a tank intrusion), plus ignition sources, which no one can

On the contrary. We are proposing alternate scenarios. The people who

see it, either (and the stories they "hear" from their prisoners changes

Israel has a right to keep Jerusalem for many reasons. They
include the fact that the majority of the citizens are Israeli, the
fact that Israel maintains religious freedom for all people, and the
historical connection of Judaism to Jerusalem.
When Jerusalem was devided by a Jordanian invasion in 1948,
the cease fire agreement included the right of individuals to visit
religious shrines. This cease fire agreement was violated by Jordan,
who did not allow Jews to visit holy sites under their control. The
Jordanians also bulldozed every synagoge in the city. They turned a
Jewish cemetary into a hotel, and used the gravestones in their
latrines.
Israel has allowed individuals of all religions into
Jerusalem, protected holy sites, and demonstrated its fitness to
control the city.
Also, I should point out that Islam is not centered in
Jerusalem, but has holy sites there. The home of Islam is Mecca,
where all Muslims should make a pilgramage (the hajj). Unlike Israeli
Jerusalem, Jews and Christians are not allowed in Saudi Mecca.

THE SOURCE AND NT MEANING
OF ARSENOKOITAI, WITH IMPLICATIONS
FOR CHRISTIAN ETHICS AND MINISTRY
James B. DeYoung
Professor of New Testament
Western Conservative Baptist Seminary
Portland, Oregon
Traditional interpretation of arsenokoitai ("homosexuals") in 1 Cor 6:9
and 1 Tim 1:10 refers to sexual vice between people of the same sex,
specifically homosexualitiy. Some restrict the term's meaning to "active male
prostititute," but stronger evidence supports a more general translation,
namely "homosexuals." More recently the definition "homosexual" has been
opposed on clutural and linguistic grounds, the claim being that the term
"homosexuals" is anachronistic. In addition, criticism of the traditional
rendering says the term today includes celibate homophiles, excludes
heterosexuals who engage in homosexual acts, and includes female homosexuals.
A concern for acts instead of the modern attention to desires was the only
factor in the ancient world. The foregoing oppositition to the translation of
arsenokoitai by "homosexuals" has a number of debilitating weaknesses.
Finally, this study argues that Paul coined the term arsenokoitai, deriving it
from the LXX of Lev 20:12 (cf. 18:22) and using it for homosexual orientation
and behavior, the latter of which should be an occasion for church discipline
(I Cor 5-6) and legislation in society (1 Tim 1:8-11).
*************************************
INTRODUCTION
Coincident with the rise of the gay rights movement in recent years has
been an increasing focus on the biblical statements regarding homosexuality or
sodomy. As part of this focus, the meaning of the term arsenokoitai, used
twice by the apostle Paul (1 Cor 6:9, I Tim 1:10), has received vigorous
scrutiny. This issue is particularly crucial to contemporary society since
so much of modern ethics is shaped by biblical statements. More particularly,
the concern over gay rights and the place of gays or homosexuals in the church
and in society require the resolution of biblical interpretation.
This study of historical, linguistic, and literary matters will survey and
evalutate recent proposals for the meaning of arsenokoitai and present evidence
to point to a resolution. Several writers and their positions represent the
modern debate on this word. Three authors, Bailey, Boswell, and Scroggs, have
provoked considerable discussion and significantly encouraged the wider
acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle in society, in the church, and in the
ministry.
Footnotes:
_______________________
1. For convenience sake, the term "homosexual" is used to encompass both
same-sex orientation and same-sex behavior. The meaning of this term is one of
the main considerations of this study.
2. These times are differnt from just over a century ago. Then P Fairbairn
(Pastoral Epistles [Edinburg, 1874) 891) could write of arsenokoitai thit it
is a "term for which fortunately our language has no proper equivalent."
Unknowingly he thereby touched upon the basis for the contemporary debate and
study. THe present writer endorses the Pauline authorship of the Pastoral
Epistles on the basis of internal and external evidence (see Donald Guthrie,
New Testament Introduction, [4th ed; 1990] 621-649, for an extensive
discussion and citation of supporters of the Pauline authorship).
3. For example, see Scroggs' influence on M. Olson, "Untangling the Web," The
Other Side (April 1984): 24-29. For a study suggesting a further prohibition
of homosexuality in the OT, see A. Phillips, "Unconvering the Father's Skirt,"
VT 30/1 (Jan, 1980) 38-43. For a bibliography of other sources dealing with
arsenokoitai, see the Wisondisc Religion Indexes (NY: H. Wison Co., 1987).

QUESTION:

configuration file (loaded when the X-Terminal boots), to add another system
to the TCP/IP access control list?
BACKGROUND:
I have two unix systems, 1. an AT&T 3B2 running X11R3 and MIT's X11R4 and
2. a Sun SS10 without any X.
I want to have a window to the Sun and the 3B2 on the NCD X-Terminal at the
same time. I can do this if I manually set the Network Parameter TCP/IP
Access Control List to off, then login to my telnet session. Not Great!
I've tried to get "xhost" to work and failed. Either my syntax is wrong
or the X11R3 implementation is bogus.
I am trying to edit the NCD configuration file that is loaded when the
NCD boots. No matter what entry I add or edit, the NCD still boots with
the TCP/IP Access Control list containing only the 3B2.
My manuals are worthless so any help would be most appreciated!! Thanks!

generally recommended you at least upgrade to the 15' Zeos (CTX) monitor for
$99 more I believe. Whether you also upgrade to the Diamond Viper video
card is your choice. I stayed with the Diamond Speedstar Pro. Zeos Tech
